Brown: Taxes or school cuts

Gov. promises police funds in state tax push

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown told county officials Thursday that he will make good on his promise to provide adequate funding for a new law that sends inmates convicted of lower-level offenses to county jails instead of state prison. County supervisors are concerned they wont have enough money to handle the estimated 26,000 additional inmates coming their way each year. They are pursuing a November ballot initiative that would guarantee state funding for law enforcement. Brown is seeking the same protections with his own ballot initiative, which also includes $7 billion in additional money from higher income taxes on those earning more

SACRAMENTO California faces a smaller budget decit in the coming scal year but will require nearly $5 billion in cuts to public education if voters reject Gov. Jerry Browns plan to raise taxes in the fall, the governor said Thursday in releasing its budget proposal for the 2012-13 scal year. The governors ofce projected the states budget shortfall for the scal year starting July 1 at $9.2 billion, much more manageable than the $26.6 billion deficit the Legislature closed for the current year. Brown said the budget cuts he enacted this year, combined with additional cuts and his call for temporary tax increases in the coming scal year will all but end the massive deficits that have defined Californias fiscal planning for years. He also noted that the state is being helped by an improving economy, which has led to a slight increase in tax revenue. Weve cut the structural decit substantially, and we now have the possibility of eliminating over the

See POLICE, Page 20

The budget released today by Gov. Brown illustrates the signicant dent we have made in reducing the states structural budget decit this past year. Sadly,in doing so we have made severe cuts in Californias funding for K-12 education, universities, health care and services for the elderly, disabled and working families.Taking another $1.4 billion from services that protect needy families,including reductions in child care, will be painful to those with the least.If low-wage families cant get to work for lack of child care, our economic recovery will be impeded. While the scal state of California is slowly improving, it is clear that additional revenues are needed to rebuild our ne state. I am committed to working with the Governor and my colleagues in the Legislature to analyze this proposal and ensure that we have a realistic plan

that does the least harm to Californians. State Sen.Mark Leno, D-San Francisco I am pleased to see the governor put forward a budget that includes new revenues,especially the proposal for the wealthiest among us to pay their fair share. I am hopeful that through further revenue increases, a slowly improving economy and our budget negotiations,we can ensure that schools are not cut and critical services are protected. State Sen.Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mate Last year alone, the Legislature cut nearly $17 billion from the budget and eliminated 15,000 state jobs. From speaking with many who have experienced deep cuts over the past several years, including individuals receiving In-Home Supportive Services, community college students and faculty,enrolees in early childhood care programs,and those working in K-12 education, I cannot fathom another $9 billion reduction from this years budget. We must strike a balance without completely annihilating our safety net services. The governor took a balanced approach in proposing a fiscally responsible budget, accounting for both the fragile economy and struggling Californians. This budget takes initial steps to further reduce the states structural deficit and allows the state to eventually pay down long-term debt, and it asks voters to weigh in on temporary tax increases. There is still much work to be done in making sure Californias fiscal house is in order. However, I believe we are on the right track, and as a member of the Assembly Budget Committee, I look forward to the details of this proposal and getting to work immediately. Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Parko The governors proposal to eliminate transitional kindergarten is a $700 million hit to K-12 education at the expense of 4 year olds and their families. The notion that 250,000 parents and their 125,000 kids are no longer eligible to begin school in the fall is a non-starter. State Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto

See BUDGET, Page 20

The Governors budget is a working document and over the next few months, we hope the economy improves so we dont have to make such devastating cuts again.We need votershelp to balance our budget by voting for the Governors state initiative this November to generate at least $4.4 billion in savings. AssemblywomanFiona Ma, D-San Francisco The governors budget contains painful cuts that will impact our states most vulnerable citizens.I believe most Californians will support his balanced approach of cuts and new revenues to avoid even deeper cuts to our schools.

Thought for the Day

A little learning is not a dangerous thing to one who does not mistake it for a great deal.
William Allen White,newspaper editor (1868-1944)

This Day in History

1912

New Mexico became the 47th state.

In 1412, tradition holds that Joan of Arc was born this day in Domremy. In 1540, Englands King Henry VIII married his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. (The marriage lasted about six months.) In 1759, George Washington and Martha Dandridge Custis were married in New Kent County, Va. In 1838, Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail gave the rst successful public demonstration of their telegraph, in Morristown, N.J. In 1912, entertainer and philanthropist Danny Thomas was born in Deereld, Mich. In 1919, the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, died in Oyster Bay, N.Y., at age 60. In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his State of the Union address, outlined a goal of Four Freedoms: Freedom of speech and expression; the freedom of people to worship God in their own way; freedom from want; freedom from fear. In 1942, the Pan American Airways Pacic Clipper, a ying boat built by Boeing, arrived in New York more than a month after leaving California and following a westward route. In 1950, Britain recognized the Communist government of China. In 1967, U.S. Marines and South Vietnamese troops launched Operation Deckhouse Five, an offensive in the Mekong River delta. In 1982, truck driver William G. Bonin was convicted in Los Angeles of 10 of the Freeway Killer slayings of young men and boys. (Bonin was later convicted of four other killings; he was executed in 1996.) In 1994, gure skater Nancy Kerrigan was clubbed on the leg by an assailant at Detroits Cobo Arena; four men, including the ex-husband of Kerrigans rival, Tonya Harding, went to prison for their roles in the attack. (Harding, who denied knowing about plans for the attack, received probation after pleading guilty to conspiracy to hinder prosecution.)

Couple finds $4,500 wedding ring in dogs stomach
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. A couple has found a suspect in the disappearance of their $4,500 wedding ring their 10-month old basset hound. KOB-TV reported Wednesday that a veterinarian recently removed the ring from the dog named Coraline after Xrays showed it was lodged deep in her stomach and wasnt coming out on its own.

He was arrested about a quarter mile away and booked on suspicion of hitand-run, vehicle theft and obstructing an ofcer. The apartments occupants were not hurt. Ralph White, who lives in the apartment with his family, said he awoke to falling debris and smoke and ran to a neighbors house to call police. Everybody is still in shock. Its crazy, White said.

City makes it a year with no traffic fatalities Police reports

Police department assesses overall activities for the year
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

When asked by the Daily Journal last week if it was true the city of San Mateo made it through 2011 without a single trafc fatality, police Sgt. Dave Norris asked can I knock on wood and answer that next week? He was asked the question Dec. 28 before the busy New Years weekend when more drunk drivers typically take to the road. The San Mateo Police Department made 25 DUI arrests during the holiday Avoid the 23 Campaign and made about 500 DUI arrests in all of 2011 but none of the arrests were related to a trafc fatality. San Mateo, with a population of just more than 97,000, had no trafc fatalities at all in 2011, Norris said yesterday. In 2010, the city had two trafc fatalities, he said. While we are delighted that there were no trafc fatalities over this past year, we continue to be concerned about the number of pedestrian and bicycle accidents and have focused our enforcement efforts in these areas, Police Chief Susan Manheimer said in an email. Looking back on police activity in 2011, the department arrested crews of robbery sus-

pects, gang-related criminal offenders and residential burglars, said Norris, who is the departments community services and public information ofcer. The department also played a critical role in identifying the suspect, known as the Chrome Susan Manheimer Revolver Bandit, in a series of violent robberies throughout the Bay Area. Ricky Sanders, 34, was arrested in Alameda County in November and was wanted in several cities, including Daly City, Redwood City, San Bruno and Pacica for robbery. Sanders is accused of shooting a clerk at a PetSmart in San Mateo Oct. 8. during a robbery attempt. After San Mateo detectives got on the case, Sanders was arrested a month later. On the whole, our violent crime statistics are down but weve seen a rise in our property crimes, which is typical when the economy goes bad and people fall on hard times. My New Years resolution for our city would be that everyone would take a minute to secure their homes and cars and let the bad guys know San Mateo is not an easy target for bur-

glars and thieves, Manheimer said in the email. The department had some retirements this year including Capt. Tom Daughtry and Ofcer Robert Anderson, who was with the department 30 years and was the departments visible face in downtown. Wayne Hoss was promoted to the rank of captain to replace Daughtry and Patrick Molloy was promoted to lieutenant, Norris said. Rick Decker, Kimber Joyce and Glen Teixeira were all promoted to the rank of sergeant, Norris said. The department now has 1,000 Twitter followers, he said, and has 8,600 residents who get community alerts via email from the department. The San Mateo Police Activities League had the largest turnout yet for the Junior Giants program, doubling its numbers from about 100 children to more than 200 who participated in 2011. The PAL also participates in National Night Out events, which had 40 block parties on a single night in August, Norris said.

Santa Cruz County weighs curbing plastic bag ban

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CRUZ Santa Cruz County is considering scaling back from its ban on takeout plastic bags. The Santa Cruz Sentinel reports that county officials are weighing whether to exempt restaurants from the bag ban, making it resem-

ble similar laws in other California cities and counties. The county law passed in September bans take-out plastic bags except for small bags used for produce, meats and frozen foods. It also imposes a 10-cent fee on paper bags for the rst year and 25 cents after that. Its sched-

uled to go into effect in unincorporated areas on March 15. The Board of Supervisors is expected to consider revising the ordinance sometime this month after the San Francisco-based Save the Plastic Bag Coalition sued the county over the ban.

Time to comment on former drive-in site

Draft environmental review of new Burlingame project up for discussion
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Time is running out for the public to weigh in on the draft environmental impact report for a proposal to build a series of large office buildings, possibly the home to biotech companies, at the now-vacant former Burlingame drive-in which the report says could have a significant impact on local traffic. Millennium Partners, a New York-based developer of mixed-used properties, applied in April 2010 to develop the 18.13-acre site a project now known as Burlingame Point, located at 300 Airport Blvd. Plans call for 689,000 square feet of office space in two five-story buildings, one seven-story building and one eight-story building. About a year ago, the City Council approved an agreement to conduct an environmental review of the project, the draft of which became available last month. On Monday, the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the project. All comments on the project must be received by Monday, Jan. 16. As proposed, the project will be reviewed to provide space for either office or biotech use. When last changed, the zoning for the Bayfront was altered to be open for biotech. There would also be a two-story, 33,400square-foot amenities building that would include a child-care facility, exercise facility and a cafe/break room. Parking would be offered in a five-story parking structure and a podium-level parking area below the four office buildings and in smaller lots scattered around the site.

The lengthy environmental report, which is available on the citys website, finds traffic to be one of the largest possible issues. In particular, adding so many employees to the area would increase use of Highway 101 and the Amphlett Boulevard and Poplar Avenue off-ramp and on-ramp in San Mateo. Widening Highway 101 would reduce the impact, but the report notes such a project would be too large for an individual project to bear responsibility. Upgrades to the Amphlett Boulevard and Poplar Avenue offramp and on-ramp have been discussed in San Mateo. A final project has yet to be approved. In addition to increased traffic, construction will be noisy and possibly disruptive. Plans call for construction to be limited to certain hours and for communication with those in the surrounding area should concerns arise. The long-vacant site was first used a drivein in the 60s and the number of screens expanded in the 70s, according to the Burlingame Historical Society. It was torn down in the early 2000s. The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the application 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 9 at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road, Burlingame. Written comments, due by 5 p.m. Monday, Jan. 16, should be submitted to Planning Manager Maureen Brooks, Community Development Department, Planning Division, 501 Primrose Road, Burlingame, Ca 94010 or mbrooks@burlingame.org. The full report is available at www.burlingame.org.

How Trees Benet Our Health While Absorbing Air Pollutants

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE As a Past President of the Millbrae Lions Club I was recently asked to take on the position of Tree Planting Chairman. It is a goal of the current Lions Clubs International President for all Lions Clubs across the world to plant one million trees during the 2011-2012 term. This new responsibility reminded me of a plan I had in the back of my mind to donate a number of trees on behalf of the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS for planting on several sparsely landscaped strips at Saint Dunstans Church in Millbrae. Ive always been a fan of planting trees, and my new task as Tree Planting Chair gave me an excuse to follow through with this previous goal. I immediately put my plan into action, so as of this writing 17 good sized Redwood Trees have already been planted at Saint Dunstans which will grow up tall and lush (see the picture to the right of me with one of the trees on the day they were planted). Trees are a major life sustaining feature of our planet. They not only help secure the ground they are planted in, but are the home to countless numbers of species. Trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) in addition to other harmful pollutants from the atmosphere, and during photosynthesis they release the oxygen we breathe. An acre of trees absorbs enough CO2 over one year to equal the amount produced by driving a car 26,000 miles. If everyone reading this article planted one new tree at their home it would not only create a noticeable improvement in everyones quality of life but also would benefit future generations.

Historically San Mateo County had a vast population of healthy old growth Redwood Trees. In the 1800s a large portion of these tall majestic trees were cut down to feed the quickly growing need for lumber in the up and coming city of San Francisco. During this gold rush period little was known of the benefits in keeping these trees alive and healthy. Realistically we still need lumber today, and now the lumber industry regularly replaces the trees they harvest with new young trees. Trees are a good renewable resource if used in a responsible manner, and many more trees have to be planted than harvested to support societys needs. We all have a chance to help by planting our own new trees and replacing those which may be unhealthy or have died. Tying this topic into our role at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS is easy. Wood is used in caskets, urns, paper and other items needed for funerals. The CO2 absorbed by trees is permanently locked into the wood used to craft these items therefore keeping it out of the atmosphere. My goal is to keep planting trees where ever I find the need as to help replenish this vitally essential and health-nourishing resource. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.

to shrink the deficit and to prove he is serious about fiscal management to voters wary of enormous government spending, Obama must show the oftprotected Pentagon is not exempt. The political danger, though, is that his opponents will use any slashing of spending to paint the president as weak on security. Both Panetta and Dempsey said they anticipate heavy criticism of their new strategy, which was begun last spring by then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates after Obama called for defense spending cuts. The Pentagon now faces at least $487 billion in cuts in planned defense spending over 10 years. The criticism from Republicans came quickly. Rep. Howard Buck McKeon, RCalif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, issued a statement saying, This is a lead-frombehind strategy for a left-behind America. He called it a retreat from the world in the guise of a new strategy. Panetta said that smaller military budgets will mean some trade-offs and that the U.S. will take on some level of additional but acceptable risk. of the Sept. 10, 2010 San Bruno pipeline explosion, which failed to require updates in older lines.

That being said, she continues to have concerns about national safety. Bills that passed, for example, do not require automatic shutoff valves in existing pipes a recommendation from the National Transportation and Safety Board. Another goal, one which will partner Speier with a Republican from Arkansas, will give states the power to require Internet companies to charge sales tax. Such a bill could create currently lost income for states, she said. Although not discussed at length, Speier also noted she doesnt see immigration reform happening in 2012; she thinks President Obama will be re-elected; and would locally like to raise residents awareness of the dangers of rising sea levels.

OBAMA

risk, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said. But he called it acceptable and, because of budget restraints, inevitable. In a presentation at the Pentagon, Obama said the U.S. is turning a page after having killed Osama bin Laden, withdrawn troops from Iraq and begun to wind down the war in Afghanistan. He outlined a vision for the future that some Republican lawmakers quickly dubbed wrong-headed. Our military will be leaner, but the world must know the United States is going to maintain our military superiority, Obama said with Panetta and the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, Gen. Martin Dempsey, at his side. In a presidential election year the strategy gives Obama a rhetorical tool to defend his Pentagon budget-cutting choices. Republican contenders for the White House already have attacked him on national security issues including missile defense, Iran and planned reductions in ground forces.

Obama unveiled the results of an eight-month defense strategy review that is intended to guide decisions on cutting hundreds of billions from planned Pentagon spending over the coming Barack Obama decade. The eightpage document contained no details about how broad concepts for reshaping the military such as focusing more on Asia and less on Europe will translate into troop or weapons cuts. Those details will be included in the 2013 defense budget to be submitted to Congress next month. In about every major war or defense speech Obama hits themes intended to resonate with American voters mainly, that the United States is turning a page from two wars, and that any nation-building will focus on improving the United States, not strategic allies abroad. The economy is more likely to determine Obamas re-election fate than national security. To keep his promises Another issue Speier hopes to address is assault and rape in the military. This is not a new issue for Speier who in November introduced the Sexual Assault Training Oversight and Prevention Act the STOP Act which would take the reporting, oversight, investigation and victim care of sexual assaults out of the hands of the militarys normal chain of command and into the newly created Sexual Assault Oversight and Response Ofce comprised of civilian and military experts. Currently, a person must report the act to his or her commanding ofcer, a requirement Speier questioned as being a conict of interest. That commanding ofcer, she noted, has personal incentive not to look into the reported assault. In 2010, the Department of Defense conducted a survey of active duty members which revealed that only 13.5 percent of the more than 19,000 incidents of rapes and sexual assaults involving service members were actually reported, Speier said. Speier also touched on other issues such as legislation passed in the wake

SPEIER

with how assault and rape within the military the number of occurrences as well as how its handled. Looking ahead, Speier has chosen some possibly difcult challenges. First, she would like to combat problems with the Department of Defense stemming from overspending as well as investing in obsolete equipment. One example of a problem Speier noted is the Alaska Native Corporations, formed by Congress decades ago to help impoverished native people. Awarding contracts through the ANCs allows the government to bypass the bid process. Numerous reports have questioned the practice often saying the awarding of such contracts violates the law, Speier said. No one touches it, Speier said, despite the reports and questionable practices. Im going to.

Rivals go hard after Romney

By David Espo and Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MANCHESTER, N.H. Mitt Romneys Republican presidential rivals repeatedly attacked him as a candidate of the status quo and a timid, less-than-reliable conservative Thursday as they simultaneRick Santorum,Newt Gingrich Rick Perry,Mitt Romney Ron Paul,Jon Huntsman ously sought to slow his campaign momentum and personally audition for the role of conservative rivalin- chief. Dont settle for less than America needs, said Rick Santorum, eager to capitalize on his second-place finish behind the former Massachusetts governor in this weeks Iowa caucuses, a scant eight votes off the pace. A heavy favorite to win New Hampshires primary next Tuesday, Romney all but ignored his Republican rivals as he campaigned in two states. Instead, he criticized President Barack Obama as a crony capitalist. Hes a job killer. Without saying so, the rest of the field appeared to share a common campaign objective hold down Romneys vote totals in New Hampshire, then knock him off stride 11 days later in South Carolina, the first Southern priREUTERS mary of the year. Potential voters listen to Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney Romney benefited handsomely at a town hall campaign stop in Salem,N.H. from having several rivals split the

vote in Iowa, where his winners share was roughly 25 percent. Gradually you are going to see we have a difference of opinion about which will be the last conservative standing, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told reporters as he campaigned in New Hampshire. But I think youll eventually come down to one conservative and Gov. Romney and hell continue to get 25 percent. Also vying to emerge as Romneys chief rival were Texas Rep. Ron Paul and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, while Texas Gov. Rick Perry awaited South Carolina. We cant afford to have a status quo president, Huntsman said in Durham, N.H. We cant afford to have a coronation for president. Gingrich unveiled a new television commercial aimed at voters in New Hampshire and South Carolina that cited one review of Romneys jobs program as timid and nearly identical in part to the presidents. Timid wont create jobs. And timid certainly wont defeat Barack Obama, the ad said. Ironically, in a year in which polls show the economy is overwhelmingly the top issue for voters, the first two contests are in states with low joblessness 5.7 percent in Iowa and 5.4 percent in New Hampshire.

Stephen Hawking to turn 70, defying disease
CAMBRIDGE, England British scientist Stephen Hawking has decoded some of the most puzzling mysteries of the universe but he has left one mystery unsolved: How he has managed to survive so long with such a crippling disease. The physicist and cosmologist was diagnosed with Lou Gehrigs disease when he was a 21-yearStephen old student at Cambridge Hawking University. Most people die within a few years of the diagnosis, called motor neurone disease in the U.K. On Sunday, Hawking will turn 70. I dont know of anyone whos survived this long, said Ammar Al-Chalabi, director of the Motor Neurone Disease Care and Research Centre at Kings College London. He does not treat Hawking and described his longevity as extraordinary. It is unusual for (motor neurone disease) patients to survive for decades, but not unheard of, said Dr. Rup Tandan, a neurology professor at the University of Vermont College of Medicine. Still, Tandan said many longtime survivors had ventilators to breathe for them which Hawking does not.

Scores killed in Iraq bombings

South Africas ANC party celebrates 100 years

JOHANNESBURG Against all odds, the party of Nelson Mandela has transformed a nation where just 20 years ago black South Africans could not vote, and beaches and restaurants were reserved for whites only. The venerated party once banned for decades under apartheid has won every national election since racist white rule ended in 1994, and President Jacob Zuma vows the party will rule until Jesus comes. Yet as the African National Congress marks its 100th anniversary this weekend with fanfare and dozens of visiting presidents, critics say the ANC has failed to unchain an impoverished majority still shackled by a whitedominated economy. Unemployment hovers around 36 percent and soars to 70 percent among young people. Half the countrys population lives on just 8 percent of the national income, according to the Congress of South African Trade Unions.

BAGHDAD An apparently coordinated wave of bombings targeting Shiite Muslims killed at least 78 people in Iraq on Thursday, the second large-scale assault by militants since U.S. forces pulled out last month. The attacks, which bore the hallmarks of Sunni insurgents, come ahead of a Shiite holy day that draws hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from across Iraq, raising fears of a deepening of sectarian bloodshed. Rifts along the countrys Sunni-Shiite faultline just a few years ago pushed Iraq to the brink of civil war. The bombings in Baghdad and outside the southern city of Nasiriyah appeared to be the deadliest in Iraq in more than a year. Thursdays blasts occurred at a particularly unstable time for Iraqs edgling democracy. A broad-based unity government designed to include the countrys main factions is mired in a political crisis pitting politicians from the Shiite majority now in power against the Sunni minority, which reigned supreme under the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein. Some Iraqis blame that political discord for the lethal strikes. We hold the government responsible for these attacks. They (the politicians) are bickering over their seats and these poor people are killed in these blasts, said Baghdad resident Ali Qassim not long after the rst bomb went off. The attacks began during Baghdads morning rush hour when explosions struck the capitals largest Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City and another district that contains a Shiite shrine, killing at least 30 people, according to police. Several hours later, a suicide attack hit pilgrims heading to the Shiite holy city of Karbala, killing 48, police said. The explosions took place near Nasiriyah, about 200 miles (320 kilometers) southeast of Baghdad. Hospital ofcials conrmed the causalities. Authorities spoke on condition of anonymity because they werent authorized to release gures of the dead and wounded, who numbered more than 100. The blasts occurred in the run-up to Arbaeen, a holy day that marks the end of 40 days of mourning following the anniversary of the death of Imam Hussein, a revered Shiite gure.

Iraqi civil defense personnel and people gather at the site of a bomb attack in Baghdads northwestern Kadhimiya district.
During this time, Shiite pilgrims many on foot make their way across Iraq to Karbala, south of Baghdad. Baghdad military spokesman Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi said the aim of the attacks is to create turmoil among the Iraqi people. He said it was too early to say who was behind the bombings. Coordinated attacks aimed at Shiites are a tactic frequently used by Sunni insurgents. The last U.S. combat troops left Iraq on Dec. 18, ending a nearly nine-year war. Many Iraqis worry that a resurgence of Sunni and Shiite militancy could follow the Americans withdrawal. In 2006, a Sunni attack on a Shiite shrine triggered a wave of sectarian violence that pushed the country to the brink of civil war. People have real fears that the cycle of violence might be revived in this country, said Tariq Annad, a 52-year-old government employee in Sadr City, after Thursdays bombings. Attacks on Wednesday targeted the homes of police ofcers and a member of a governmentallied militia. Those strikes, in the cities of Baqouba and Abu Ghraib outside Baghdad, killed four people, including two children, ofcials said. Two weeks earlier, militants killed at least 69 people as a wave of bombs ripped through mostly Shiite neighborhoods in Baghdad. An al-Qaida front group in Iraq claimed responsibility. Iraqs political mess is providing further ammunition for extremists. Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Malikis government issued an arrest warrant for the countrys top Sunni politician last month. The Sunni ofcial, Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi, is holed up in Iraqs semiautonomous Kurdish region in the north effectively out of reach of state security forces.

The reason for the garbage rates

he recent stretch of garbage rate increases on the Peninsula have some residents alarmed and even some city ofcials are crying foul. But the origination of the new rates is more complicated than just a garbage company wanting to raise rates to make more money. And there are two main roots one is a previous policy of allowing cities to roll over what they owe for service and the other is state legislation that mandates increased recycling rates. When Recology took over the garbage collection contact in the beginning of 2011 it adopted a new policy in which cities could not roll over what they owed in previous years for a period of 10 years. That was allowed for a number of years under the old contract and various city councils decided to roll over what they owed into what was called a balancing account so they wouldnt pass it on to customers right away. The result of that was some cities owed money to Allied Waste when the contract expired. The amount varied. In Atherton, it was $337,000. In Belmont, it was $1,019,000. Under the new contract, cities can spread out what it owes for a shorter period of time (instead of up to 10 years) with interest at prime plus 1 percent. The prime lending rate is currently 3.25 percent. That essentially means that if cities decide to not

Editorial
raise the rates to what they owe, they will be paying interest on that amount, thus increasing (albeit slightly) the amount rate payers will eventually owe. For some, that makes sense since it means lower rates now. But the core issue to garbage rates is state legislation that requires cities to recycle a certain amount. In 1989, Assembly Bill 939, authored by Byron Sher, required cities to recycle 50 percent of its waste by Jan. 1, 2000 or face nes. In 2011, Gov. Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill 341 that establishes a new statewide goal of 75 percent source reduction, recycling and composting by 2020. Its a lofty goal, but one that those in the garbage collection business take seriously. When the South Bayside Waste Management Authority contracted with Recology, it was with an eye toward meeting that goal. And thus began the weekly collection of recyclables and compostable material. There is some revenue that is produced from the recyclable material, but there is still a cost associated with the new policy of separating the material that is placed in one bin which makes it easier for the average person to recycle. Some contend that money can be saved by returning to the twice monthly pickup of recyclable and compostable mate-

rial but SBWMA ofcials say it is only a few percentage points overall and would go against the needed goal of recycling to meet the new state requirements. Weekly recycling is here to stay and as more people recycle, city ofcials will have to determine if they want to stick with the policy of not charging more for smaller cans to which more and more people are migrating. The political answer would be to keep the rates low for smaller cans since more people use them. But, unfortunately for rate payers, that may not be sustainable in the long term. Recycling more is good for the planet and keeps Ox Mountain landll in Half Moon Bay open longer. Once that landll can no longer take any more trash, costs are sure to rise again as we will have to nd another place for what we throw away. The recent increases in rates are caused by the debt that cities accrued to keep rates low for so many years. Additional rate increases may come as cities realize that low rates for smaller cans are no longer sustainable as ofcials contend with aggressive recycling rates mandated by state legislation. Further into the future, there will be additional cost for shipping our trash out of the county. They say its not easy being green, and it looks like its not cheap either.

Obstruction of justice
Editor, Am I insane, or has there been a spike in San Mateo County criminal defendants pleading insanity or incompetent to stand trial defenses in the last three years? Alleged killers plead not guilty, one claims insanity in the Jan. 5 edition of the Daily Journal? If this is true, it wont be long until potential suspects or all criminal defendants lawyer up when interviewed or interrogated by law enforcement about their suspicions. Is this becoming a trend for or standardization by the guilty or the defense attorneys to defer or obstruct the administration of justice? Although the pleadings may be legal, there must be a virus in the county jail between inmates who have nothing better to do than show their ickle nger of fate to law enforcement and the courts. It is a good thing that many defendants wind up admitting to crimes and their involvement: its probably called a conscience or lets get this case over with so I can get on with my life. Its going to be expensive for the county to try defendants who have no conscience unless we sweeten the deal; that is called plea bargaining. Personally, I think it is the politicians and white-collar criminals that have created this trend to deter or obfuscate justice as society is becoming more ethically challenged by the haves and have-nots to do the right thing. The middle class is being squeezed in the meantime. days of military spending. Eighteen days of military spending yearly could eradicate malnutrition worldwide. Experts believe that $200 million, or about three hours of military spending, could wipe out the diseases of diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, measles and polio, which together kill 4 million children every year. Former U.S. president Dwight D. Eisenhower highlighted the wanton waste of war when he declared, Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket red signies in the nal sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron ... Is there no other way the world may live?

Wanton waste
Editor, The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute reports that world military expenditures average between $900 billion and $1 trillion a year. Using the $1 trillion gure, that means an astronomical $2 million are spent worldwide on the military every minute! The U.S. military spends 42 percent of this. A $30 billion, 10-year plan to provide clean water to the poor of the developing world would cost just 10

have been a registered nurse working in critical care and surgical units at Mills-Peninsula Hospital in Burlingame for 32 years. As a nurse, I have always seen patient advocacy as one of my most important roles whether Im working inside the hospital or picketing out in front of it. So I stood on the picket line this holiday season with my Sutter is the Grinch sign not just because Sutters proposed takeaways will impact me, personally, as an employee. I also went on strike because I dont like what Sutters changes will mean for you, my patients. Heres the bottom line: With an eye on increasing its already sizable prots, Sutter is proposing cuts that will result in a decreased quality of health care in this community. Our community does not realize that to save money, Sutter is eliminating or selling off essential programs that have provided health care to our patients for more than 50 years. During 2011, our Dialysis and the Skilled Nursing Unit programs were sold. The Acute Rehab Unit at Mills was closed two years ago. Pediatrics no longer exists at our hospital. Have a sick child in the emergency room who needs to be admitted? Youll be directed to Stanford or a hospital in San Francisco. If an emergent surgery, like an appendectomy, must be performed on a child at Peninsula Hospital, theyll wake up in the ICU at Peninsula, alongside critically ill adults hardly an appropriate place for a child. Next to close, no later than December 2012, is the Mills Stand-by Emergency Room. This will mean there will be no on-site physician on the Mills campus to serve programs such as Cardiac Rehab and the Recovery Care Inn. In addition to these program cuts, Sutter is proposing takeaways that would negatively affect nurses salary, benets and retirement packages. Far from the distorted numbers Sutter has presented to the press recently, our current benets package, created over the course of a 20-year negotiation process, is modest. A further reduction would limit our ability to recruit qualied nurses. Recruitment will only become more important in the future. In the next 10 years, as baby boomers age, patient population will increase as a large percentage of the nursing workforce retires (the average age of nurses in the United States is now 44.5). Sutters dishonest portrayal of the average nurses benets package is just one of several piece of misinformation that I nd aggravating. In the press, Sutter has attempted to take advantage of both the Health Care Reform Act and the current poor economic climate to argue that cuts are imperative. Heres the truth though: Through the American Hospital Association, Sutter actually lobbied in support of the passage of the Health Care Reform Act. Why? More people with insurance can only lead to a positive outcome for hospitals. Dont be fooled by the excuse Sutter needs to make cuts because of the legislation. As for the poor economic climate: Sutter has admitted to a good nancial year in 2011. It earned more than $3.7 billion in prots over the past six years enough to leave Pat Fry, its not-for-prot CEO, a salary of $4 million per year and 20 other administrators with salaries over $1 million dollars each. Sutter also made a $1 million donation to the Sacramento Kings basketball team this past year. Rather than nancial distress, these facts paint a picture of corporate greed and a misappropriation of money that could have been used in the health care realm. If the Health Care Reform Act and the economic climate make doing business for hospitals tougher, why have Kaiser, UC, Marin General and San Mateo County hospitals all recently settled contracts with their nurses with no takeaways? How are they doing it? If any institution has nancial concerns, wouldnt it be the county? The reality is, its not Sutter whos in trouble, but you and I. As nurses, through our union, we advocate for ourselves as well as our patients (Did you know, for example, that thanks to our tireless lobbying efforts, California was the rst state in the nation to adopt nurse-to-patient ratio laws?). As you drive by or visit us in our new shiny building, please dont forget the old adage: Its what inside that counts. In 2012, we nurses are counting on you to support us and advocate for the health care you deserve.

Wall Street
Wall Streets hectic 2011 became a concern again. Trading in UniCredit, a large Italian bank, was halted after the stock lost a quarter of its value. The bank said Wednesday that it would need to offer huge discounts to investors to raise money. And a nancial crisis deepened in Hungary, which had to pay a staggeringly high interest rate of 10 percent on its 12-month debt. That is far above the 7 percent level that forced Greece and Portugal to seek bailouts. Taken together, the news raised fears on Wall Street that Europes debt crisis would spread from small countries such as Greece and infect much larger ones such as Italy that are too big to be bailed out. The positives that are coming out of our economy are less signicant than the fear that is coming out of Europe, said Ralph Fogel, an investment strategist and partner at Fogel Neale Partners in New York. Stocks fell more than 2 percent in Italy, Greece and Spain. Markets in the bigger, more stable economies of Britain and Germany fell slightly. The CAC-40 in France fell 1.5 percent.

Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE MetroPCS Communications Inc.,down 78 cents at $8.01 The cellphone company said that it added a net 197,410 subscribers in the fourth quarter, below what analysts were expecting. Eli Lilly & Co.,down 41 cents at $40.30 The drugmaker expects a steeper-thanexpected earnings drop this year due to the expiration of a patent for its antipsychotic drug. Barnes & Noble Inc.,down $2.31 at $11.24 The bookseller said it is reviewing its options for its Nook e-book business and might separate it from its core bookstore business. Target Corp.,down $1.49 at $48.51 The discount retailer cut its fourth-quarter earnings expectations after a key revenue gure rose less than expected in December.

Zumiez Inc.,up $4.62 at $30.95 The sports related-clothing and equipment retailer reported strong December revenue and raised its fourth-quarter guidance.

It took the whole day, but stocks came all the way back. Bruised once again by uncertainty about European debt, the U.S. stock market fell sharply Thursday at the open, then steadily gained ground for six hours. By the close, the Dow Jones industrial average had shaved its loss to less than three points. It was the rst decline of the year for the Dow. The Standard & Poors 500 index gained just under four points and managed to extend its January winning streak to three days. Investors looking for good news had the latest encouraging report on the U.S. job market. Weekly unemployment claims declined again, one day before a crucial report on the national jobs picture in December. The Dow recovered from a 134-point loss to end at 12,415.70. The Standard & Poors 500 index closed at 1,281.06. The Nasdaq rose 21.5 points to 2,669.86. The market has had a strong start to the year. The Dow is up almost 200 points, or 1.6 percent.

Hopeful outlook on hiring

WASHINGTON The job market is looking a little brighter at the start of the new year. Weekly unemployment benet applications have fallen to levels last seen more than three years ago. Holiday sales were solid. Service companies grew a little faster in December. And many small businesses say they plan to add jobs over the next three months. The mix of private and government data released Thursday sketched a picture of an economy that is slowly strengthening, stoking optimism one day ahead of the governments important read on December job growth. Businesses have increased hiring to meet the underlying pick-up in (consumer) demand, said Neil Dutta, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

The encouraging reports on the U.S. economy gave Wall Street a late-day lift, offsetting renewed concerns over Europes debt crisis. The Dow Jones industrial average, which had fallen by as much as 134 points at one point in the day, closed down just 3 points. Broader indexes posted modest gains. Weekly applications for unemployment benets dropped to a seasonally adjusted 372,000 last week, the Labor Department said Thursday. Thats 11 percent lower than the same time last year. Almost the entire descent occurred this fall. Applications had uctuated sharply over the rst nine months of 2011, falling as low as 375,000 and rising as high as 478,000. By early September, they were at 432,000 only 5,000 below where they began the year. Since then, applications have declined steadily. That has pushed the four-week average, which smooths uctuations, to

373,250 the lowest level since June 2008. When applications drop below 375,000 consistently they generally signal that hiring is strong enough to reduce the unemployment rate. U.S. service firms, which employ roughly 90 percent of the work force, grew a little faster in December, according to the Institute for Supply Management. The trade group of purchasing managers said its index of non-manufacturing activity rose to 52.6. Thats slightly above Novembers reading of 52 the lowest in nearly two years but well below last years high of 59.7 recorded in February. Any reading above 50 indicates expansion. An increase in new orders and stronger imports drove last months modest expansion. But a gauge of hiring showed many service rms were hesitant to add workers.

Holiday discounts crimp retailers profits

By Anne Dinnocenzio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The 2011 holiday shopping season will go down in the record books as the year the Grinch stole stores prots. Many retailers sacriced their bottom lines by pushing heavy discounts to shoppers bent on getting a good deal in a challenging economy. That created a sharp divide between stores that won the battle for wallets, and those that didnt. The big winners? Shoppers who held out for deals late in the season. Retailers collectively reported a 3.5

percent increase in revenue at stores open at least a year for December, according to a tally of 25 merchants compiled by the International Council of Shopping Centers. For November and December combined, the gure rose 3.3 percent, a solid increase but still behind last years 3.8 percent pace. The gures are based on revenue at stores open at least a year. That is considered a key indicator of a retailers health because it excludes results from stores recently opened or closed. Retailers depend on the holidays, when they bring in as much as 40 percent of their annual revenue. The season also gives give valuable insights into

what it takes to get Americans to spend in the weak economy. Clearly, the rich kept spending, but for everyone else, it took a hot item like Apples iPad or right-on exclusive fashions or a lot of 50 percent off signs. Winners included Limited Brands Inc., Macys Inc., TJX Cos. and Nordstrom Inc., which posted strong revenue gains that beat analysts estimates. Macys, Ross and Limited even boosted their earnings outlooks. On the losing side, Target Corp., Kohls Corp., and J.C. Penney Co. cut their fourth-quarter earnings projections after reporting weaker-than-expected sales. Gap had a big sales decline. He said the lab will work on ways to better integrate phones and other personal devices into cars, as well as safety systems that alert drivers when theyre approaching another car. The lab will also solicit and test applications from independent programmers. One app Ford is currently studying can nd an open parking space and reserve it. Another would improve weather reporting by transmitting signals when a cars rain-sensing wipers are triggered.

Ford to open Silicon Valley lab

DEARBORN, Mich. Ford Motor Co. is the latest automaker to open a research lab in Silicon Valley, where it hopes to scout out new technology and keep ahead of trends. The company said Friday that it plans to open the lab near Stanford University in Palo Alto in the rst few months of this year. It will employ around 15 people, including some recruited locally and

Serra settles for tie

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Serra boys soccer team cruised through the non-league portion of its schedule unblemished, racking up a perfect 7-0 mark. The Padres, however, are nding the going much tougher in West Catholic Athletic League play. Heading into Thursdays match with visiting St. Ignatius, Serra was 2-0-1 in league play. The Padres left Thursdays game still unbeaten, but a little disappointed having to settle for a 1-1 draw. This is one of those games well look at (down the road) as one that got away from us, said Serra coach Jeff Panos. Weve had good success scoring early in game, but we havent been nishing. That was never more the case than on Thursday when St. Ignatius goalkeeper Reuben Young thwarted several golden scoring chances for the Padres. He was the difference between the Wildcats losing and coming away with the tie. While the Wildcats may not be the most talented team, they more than make up for it in discipline and physical play. Theyre always big and strong especially across the defensive line and always play mentally tough. Despite being pinned in their end of the eld for most of the rst half, the Wildcats kept the Padres off the scoreboard until the nal eight minutes of the half. In the second half, St. Ignatius scored the equalizer just over 10 minutes in and then held on as Serra made a big push in the nal minutes of the game trying to nd the game winner. The Padres nearly did, but Young thwarted Cris Perla, who made a brilliant run around two S.I. defenders before the goalkeeper smothered a shot off Perlas foot late in the game. In the WCAL, chances are few and far between, Panos said. When you get an opportunity, you have to take advantage.

GM Baalke turns 49ers into playoff contender

NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL

SANTA CLARA Within days of being promoted last year, San Francisco 49ers general manager Trent Baalke faced the daunting task of landing Jim Harbaugh as the teams new coach. People were losing patience with all the losing and demanded an immediate turnaround after an eight-year playoff drought. Amid speculation that Harbaugh might leave Stanford for the Miami Dolphins or even his alma mater, Michigan, Baalke delivered the Niners highprofile new man. It brought Baalke some Trent Baalke instant credibility, along with all the other spot-on moves along the way since then. From cornerback Carlos Rogers and safety Donte Whitner to center Jonathan Goodwin and kicker David Akers, Baalke t all the right pieces into an already talented roster that has bought into Harbaughs style. Baalke and Harbaugh also had the wherewithal to bring back quarterback Alex Smith on a one-year deal as a free agent even after the years of boos and inconsistency with plans to re-sign him for 2012, too. Its great to see Trent, Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott said. We havent talked a lot about Trent. A lot of people havent really acknowledged that bringing in Rogers, bringing in (NaVorro) Bowman, going with (Aldon) Smith in the rst round. The team is faster than what it was. Its more aggressive than what it was. So Baalke saw something that I didnt see and that the average fan didnt see. He

Aragon girlssoccer team off to strong start

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

I think good teams can make adjustments and in the second half,we did.
Will Colglazier, Aragon girlssoccer coach

The rst week of the Peninsula Athletic League girls soccer season has come and gone and through two games, the Aragon Dons are who we thought they were. In a game where Woodside took it to the home team in the rst half, the Dons made the necessary adjustments at the half and scored three goals in a 22-minute span to come away with the 3-0 victory. Thats two games, two 3-0 wins for the girls on Alameda de las Pulgas. I would give Woodside the edge in the rst half, said Aragon coach Will Colglazier. We

denitely did not come out strong. They put a lot of good pressure on us. But I think good teams can make adjustments and in the second half, we did. Theyre everything I thought theyd be, said Woodside coach Jose Navarette of his teams latest opponent. I give them a lot of credit. Theyre very good on their set pieces and thats what we practiced yesterday trying to avoid that and it was a great goal. Give them

credit. That goal turned Aragon into giants, they became a different team. But we were right there until that time, we had some good play but their experience showed today. Young as they may be (Woodside started six players who were only playing in their second PAL game ever), the Wildcats deserve a lot of credit as well for not backing down in the games rst 35 minutes. The physical advantage was obviously on Aragons side, but

Woodside didnt play like the inferior. In fact, the games initial scoring chance was Woodsides Heather Seyberts and it took a ne save by Ashley Lentz to deny the sophomore. Denying is something the Aragon defense has done extremely well this season. Through eight games, the Dons have surrendered only two goals. On Thursday, even with their sweeper injured in the games initial stages, Aragons Rachel Killigrew, Marissa Bonglio and Gianna Mendez put on a clinic. Our defense is one of the best Ive ever seen, Colglazier said. Ive seen a lot of high school games. Theyre smart, theyre physical,

SEC football second to none Kings fire

By Paul Newberry
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW ORLEANS A few months ago, when there were rumblings that Virginia Tech might be jumping to the Southeastern Conference, Eddie Whitley and his teammates got excited. Everyone was like, Man, I would love to play there! the Hokies senior safety said, his eyes lighting up. I was like, Man, I wish I was a freshman now! The switch never happened. Virginia Tech stayed put, at least for the time being, in the Atlantic Coast Conference. But Whitleys account sums up what just about everyone else in the nation has been forced to concede: Love it or hate, no one plays college football like the SEC. Look no further than Monday nights BCS title game between No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama. For the rst time under this format, two teams from the same league heck, the same division are facing off in a no-lose situation for the SEC. Before one strand of confetti falls to Superdome oor, the conference is assured of its sixth straight national title. No other conference has won more than three in a row. Youve got the best athletes in the nation going to one conference, Whitley marveled. Alabamas got linebackers that are 260, 270 (pounds). Our defensive TACKLES are 270. The SECs dominance has been decades in the making. Many point to the SECs revolutionary decision in the early 1990s to expand from 10 to 12 teams, allowing it to become the rst conference to split into divisions and set up its own championship game. Other factors, everything from an exclusive national television deal with CBS to top coaches such as LSUs Les Miles and Alabamas Nick Saban to the abundance of high school talent in the

Theres a lot of talent down there and they do a good job of coaching a lot of talent.Thats all there is to it.
Al Borges,Michigan offensive coordinator and former Auburn coach

Deep South, help keep the SEC on top year after year. But the real roots of the SECs breakaway can be traced to the turbulent 60s, when the region was ripped apart by the struggle for civil rights and its universities were still clinging to the notion of only letting whites through the schoolhouse door. In 1966, Alabama posted a perfect 11-0 record with an all-white team but still nished third in The Associated Press poll behind Notre Dame and Michigan State, which had played to a 10-10 tie. The feeling at the time, and one that is even more apparent with the hindsight of history, was that both the Fighting Irish and the Spartans were superior programs because they had AfricanAmericans players and faced teams that allowed them on the eld, too. There were athletes who were qualied and capable and had the ability to play in the SEC, but they were not recruited because they were black, said Wilbur Hackett, a longtime conference referee who, in the late 60s, became the rst African-American captain when he played at Kentucky, persevering through intense racial prejudice. When it became clear that integration was inevitable, the SEC nally tapped into a whole new pool of talent, gaining the inside track to huge numbers of immensely qualied locals who had always been forced to sign with historically black schools or venture far from home, to the Big Ten or the Pacic Coast, if they wanted to play at the highest level. Today, every SEC roster is lled with black players. Their inuence on the game is undeniable.

The league was strong, but it could have been stronger if they had integrated sooner, Hackett said. Look at the Tennessee States and the Jackson States and the Gramblings, all the players from those schools that went on to play in the NFL. Now, those schools dont put players in the NFL because all those players are in the SEC. Over the last 10 years, a staggering 72 players from SEC schools have been rst-round draft picks. The Big 12 is next on the list, far behind at 51. With Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton leading the way, the SEC had ve of the top six picks in 2011. The odd man out was Von Miller from Texas A&M which is joining the league next fall. Theres a lot of talent down there and they do a good job of coaching a lot of talent, said Al Borges, the offensive coordinator at Michigan who formerly coached at Auburn. Thats all there is to it. Digging a little deeper, the emphasis on defense in the SEC has largely fueled its rise to power (34 of those 72 rst-round picks came from the less-heralded side of the line). Not surprisingly, Alabama and LSU are the nations two best defensive teams, lled with impact players such as Crimson Tide linebacker Donta Hightower and Tigers cornerback Tyrann Honey Badger Mathieu. From the perspective of ESPN analyst Todd Blackledge, it all starts up front. I really dont think they have more speed at those skill positions on offense than the Big 12 or the Pac-12 or anyone else, he said. But those defensive linemen in the SEC, thats where the difference is.

CSM uses defense to beat City

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The College of San Mateo womens basketball team went into City College of San Francisco Wednesday night thinking of one thing and one thing only: Redemption. A season ago, the Rams torched the Bulldogs twice, beating them by a combined score of 166-104. In those two matchups, CCSFs Janis Peterson scored 32 and 31 points respectively, single-handedly embarrassing CSM. CSM coach Michelle Warner and her players werent going to let that happen again. Weve been really trying to work on defense this week, Warner said. At the end of preseason, we usually analyze what weve done, what were doing well and what we need to work on and, while we were third in conference in team offense, we were last in team defense. I really wanted to work on that. We really wanted to focus on defense and holding teams to their average or less because we average a few more (points) than them. We really wanted to focus on Janis Petersen, shes a good scorer. They still killed us on the rebounds but thats another area we need to work on. The offense will come but I think its a matter of them stepping up and taking the challenge to be a better team defensively. Judging by CSMs huge 63-56 win to open up Coast Conference play, the Bulldogs are the kind of team in 2011-2012 that wont back down from any challenge. CCSF led once at 2-0 and that was it. Petersen, who came in averaging 17.9 points per game, did score her 18, but like Warner told the Daily Journal earlier in the week, CSM was going to do their best to make sure Peterson wouldnt burn them again. The Bulldogs led 30-20 at the half. I remember thinking, Wow! That must be

Weve been really trying to work on defense this week. We really wanted to focus on defense and holding teams to their average or less because we average a few more (points) than them.
Michelle Warner, CSM womens basketball coach

some really good defense, Warner said. Because I cant remember anyone holding City to 20 points in a half. Kimmie (Fung) was ring from the start, she was ready to go and the girls have really been focused. The eight sophomores really wanted redemption from getting blown out last year by them. Warner knows a thing or two about big wins and good teams. In 2000, with players like Kelly Wetteland and Lisa Smith leading the charge, Warner took the 16th seeded Bulldogs to Merced and defeated the previously unbeatened No. 1 seed, marking the rst time in history that feat had been accomplished. As far as big wins go, the W against CCSF had a slightly different feel. For me, it was denitely the biggest conference win so far, Warner said. That team I had in 2000, we were a 16 seed and we went and beat the No. 1 seed in playoffs down in Merced who was undefeated for the whole year and we beat them on their court. So to me, thats the biggest win weve had since Ive been here. This one was more condence. We cant overlook anyone with what were trying to do. CCSF pulled to within two points late in the game at 56-54 before Fung took control again. Kung finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Defensive, however, is where the entire Bulldogs team excelled. The win was big and it looks like CSM is ring on all cylinders. As far as a team goes, this team really moves the ball well, Warner said. They understand what were trying to get out of every play. I think the biggest thing is that

were learning not to get frustrated. Its a 40minute game, just stay with it, stay at it and see what happens. CSMs home opener is tonight against Las Positas. Warner said its highly unlikely her team will encounter what does happen in sports a disappointing loss against a team you should beat following such a gigantic victory. The key is us and the goals were trying to do as a team, Warner said. Thats what Ive constantly told them, Play with the same intensity regardless of who your opponent is. We can only control what we do, cant control the refs, cant control the other team. So as long as were controlling what were doing and were meeting the goals were trying to do after every possession, were going to be ne regardless of the opponent. Its about us trying to get better and improve and focus on what we can do.

Skyline 75, Las Positas 51

The Lady Trojans picked up their rst conference win Wednesday afternoon, forcing Las Positas to shoot 30 percent from the oor in a 75-51 win. Kelly Huey had a phenomenal game for the Trojans, shooting a white-hot 12-of-16 from the eld en route to a 28-point performance. She was 3-of-5 from beyond the arc. Bianca Hussein had seven rebounds to go with four points. Andrea Mochida posted double-figure points, 13, for the Trojans. The win moves Skyline to .500 at 8-8.

SACRAMENTO If the Sacramento Kings stood any chance at success this season, Paul Westphal had to nd a way to control talented but volatile center DeMarcus Cousins. He couldnt and lost his job because of it. The Kings red Westphal Thursday after two-plus seasons as coach, cutting ties amid a slow start and an escalating dispute with Cousins that threatened to consume the locker room. Assistant Keith Smart, let go by the Golden State Warriors in April after one season at the helm, signed a deal to become the teams new head coach. With the Cousins-Westphal spat showing no resolution, Kings owners Joe and Gavin Maloof nally decided to take action. Instead of trading away a promising young big man, they made Westphal the rst ring of the lockout-shortened season. Were in a situation here where you cant take a philosophical vacation because things are happening in real time, Kings president of basketball operations Geoff Petrie said. You start to keep seeing the same things over and over again, you cant sit around and meditate forever about how youre going to approach them or try and change them. Looking to build momentum for a new arena project, Sacramento stumbled at the start again this year. A talented and athletic albeit raw roster entered Thursday nights home game against Milwaukee with a 2-5 record and in last place in the Pacic Division. Westphal nished with a 51-120 record in Sacramento. The 61-year-old previously coached the Phoenix Suns and Seattle SuperSonics. In a statement released by the team, Westphal thanked the Maloofs, his coaching staff and players for the opportunity. While the job is far from nished, I am proud of the strides we were able to make, he said. In the last week, all of Westphals efforts in Californias capital shattered. He abruptly released a statement Sunday criticizing Cousins commitment to the franchise and excused him from the teams game against New Orleans. He also said Cousins asked for a trade, which the centers agent refuted. Petrie said he knew of Westphals plans to release the statement but indicated that the Maloofs didnt. Petrie dodged questions about whether he supported Westphals statement about Cousins, who expressed remorse for Westphal and said he would soon reach out to his former coach. Its been an emotional week and a lot of misunderstandings, Cousins said. But it comes with the territory. Coach Westphal was a great teacher to a lot of us and a good coach. But this was a management decision. Sacramento drafted Cousins with the fth overall pick in 2010 after he spent one season at Kentucky. The 21-year-old was averaging 13.7 points and 9.3 rebounds in 26 minutes per game this season. Cousins behavior has been well documented going back to high school and his one season at Kentucky, mixing in dramatic and astonishing plays with outbursts against players, coaches, trainers and referees. His conditioning has been questioned and so has his work ethic. However, he showed up for training camp in prime condition and appeared ready for a breakout season. Of course people are going to tie (Westphals ring) to me, Cousins said. It will just show their ignorance. But like I said, its not my decision.

Bengals,Texans seek NINERS playoff breakthrough

By Chris Duncan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON Andy Dalton and T.J. Yates werent around for any of the miserable seasons the Bengals and Texans have had over the past two decades. And thats quite a few. The rookie quarterbacks now control which of the long-suffering franchises gets a milestone victory when the teams open the playoffs on Saturday. Theyll make some NFL history no matter who wins its the rst time two rookie starters will face off in a postseason game. It shows how much the game has changed in these days, said Yates, wholl make his sixth career start. My situation is obviously a lot different than Andys. He was drafted there to be the starter and unfortunate circumstances here in Houston led to me being the one playing. But youve just got to take advantage of every opportunity you get, he said, and its pretty cool to be a part of it. The Bengals (9-7) are back in the postseason for the third time in seven seasons, but they havent advanced in 20 years. The 10-year-old Texans (10-6) are making their postseason debut, and will end the longest playoff drought of any expansion team from its inception into the league. This game cant come soon enough, Houston linebacker Brian Cushing said. The atmosphere is going to be wild, so were just extremely thrilled about this opportunity. Cincinnatis last playoff victory came against Houston, albeit the Oilers, a 41-14 victory at Riverfront Stadium. The Bengals lost to the L.A. Raiders the following week, and theyve lost two playoff games at home since, after the 2005 and 09 seasons. The current players havent given a second thought to the past failures. We dont really think about it, said left tackle Andrew Whitworth, nishing his sixth season. We have some young guys on this team. I promise you some of them have no clue about that. At least Cincinnati has some playoff history. The city of Houston has waited 18 years to even see the local team play in a postseason game. The Oilers last playoff appearance followed the 1993 season, a loss to Joe Montana and the Kansas City Chiefs.

The land where Reliant Stadium now stands was just a parking lot back then, Houston coach Gary Kubiak was an assistant at Texas A&M and Yates was 6 years old. Just to think of how far weve come and to be working this week, Kubiak said, be putting in a game plan and going in those meetings and getting ready to line up, thats what we came here to do, so lets go do it. Were looking forward to it. Andre Johnson may be as eager as anyone. The star receiver and face of the Houston franchise has languished through the litany of losses since the team drafted him third overall in 2003. He stayed loyal to the Texans, though, signing a contract extension in August 2010 that will keep him here through the 2016 season. Johnson has been hobbled by hamstring injuries most of this season, but hes healthy again just in time for the most important game of his pro career. You know, I always said that I wanted to be a part to help this organization get to their rst playoff appearance and hopefully win their rst Super Bowl, he said. I didnt think it would take this long, but were here now. And now its in the hands of two 20-somethings with zero postseason experience to determine which team moves on. Will it be Dalton, the second-round draft pick who grew up in a Houston suburb? Or Yates, the one-time third-stringer pressed into action after season-ending injuries to Matt Schaub (right Lisfranc fracture) and backup Matt Leinart (broken left collarbone)? I dont think either one of the young guys has really gone out there and acted like theyre rookies, Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis said. So, I think that in the case of both players, theyre kind of a little bit ahead of their time. The focus has got to be on how they prepare and how the rest of the guys play up to these guys ability. Dalton, who grew up in nearby Katy, has thrown ve touchdown passes and only one interception in the last six games. He missed Wednesdays practice with u-like symptoms, but said Thursday that hes ready to go. Yates, meanwhile, played only one series in last weeks loss to Tennessee after bruising his left shoulder. Hes practiced all week and both he and Kubiak have downplayed the severity of the injury.

replaced a couple of components that needed to be replaced. Those tweaks worked, all right. San Francisco (13-3) won the NFC West and earned the NFCs No. 2 seed and a rst-round playoff bye, going 6-2 on the road with four of those victories in comeback fashion. How about that for silencing critics who questioned whether Baalke made enough splashy moves in free agency to improve his roster after the lockout? Now its a splash, Whitner said. Its not a splash when everybody else is looking. But once you make the playoffs and youre sitting at home with a bye week and you have an opportunity to win two games and be in the Super Bowl, then its a splash. Thats how success happens. A lot of times, people arent going to believe until they actually see it. Before this season not many outside team headquarters knew much about Baalke just the way he likes it as an anonymous gure doing his job to help run a franchise. Walk past him and he practically disappears, nding ways to avoid the public eye aside from the occasional casual conversation. He declines interview requests and keeps to himself on the sidelines during practice. He is so focused before games its as if he hardly notices his surroundings. Trents done a great job doing his job, tight end Vernon Davis said. I commend him. Hes doing great for us and he denitely deserves everything that comes his way. I give him high praise. Baalke, who has picked up some things through a close friendship with Packers GM Ted Thompson, goes about his business quietly behind the scenes though he does speak openly during his weekly radio show, for which he has a contractual obligation. Baalke would prefer that any credit for the turnaround go elsewhere. I appreciate the compliment, guys, but in all honesty it really comes down to the efforts of the coaches and players, Baalke said this

week on 95.7 FM The Game. Theyve done an outstanding job coming together, believing in each other, believing we could get this thing accomplished. When things didnt look good in certain games, they kept with it, kept grinding. The coaches kept searching for answers and the players kept believing. So when youve got that kind of dynamic, the rest of it is pretty easy. Last January, Baalke was elevated from his previous post of vice president of player personnel. After team President Jed York vowed to open an exhaustive national search for a general manager, he ultimately decided to go with the familiar guy who had shown plenty of leadership and reliable decision-making already. York took heat for it, too, as some believed he had settled for Baalke over a bigger name. Yet it was Baalke who orchestrated the contract extensions for two key 49ers last season: ve-time Pro Bowl linebacker Patrick Willis and Davis. Running back Frank Gore got his coveted new deal before the 2011 season. Considering the dedication of the front ofce to assembling a talented, team-rst locker room, the losing became all the more difcult. Thats why it was so gut-wrenching in the past, defensive line coach Jim Tomsula said. Not to review the past, but where we are right now, theyve worked through this long haul, theyve kept it together. Thats why you appreciate Jim Harbaugh, Trent Baalke and (player personnel director) Tommy Gamble and all the things that are going on. Baalke, a former college coach who also worked four years in the scouting department for the Washington Redskins prior to coming to San Francisco, is always committed to nding the best player available and not falling for the trendy choice. Baalkes two rst-round draft picks from 2010 Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati became instant starters on the offensive line. This seasons rookies have done their part: Aldon Smith with 14 sacks, Kendall Hunter as Gores reliable backup, and Bruce Miller shining as a defensive end turned fullback. Baalke also added special teams standout Blake Costanzo and scooped up Akers whose 44 eld goals this season set an NFL record when the Eagles decided he was expendable.

cleared away by the Padres defense. S.I.s last best chance to take the lead came off a free kick near mideld. Case sent the ball into the box, nding the head of a teammate who icked the ball on frame. Only a spectacular jumping save to deect the ball over the top of the goal by Okai kept the game tied. Our defense has been solid, Panos said, adding his team started the season with six straight shutouts. But in our last three (games), weve given up a goal against the run of play. That guy got that shot off because we didnt put pressure on him quick enough. Serra spent the nal 15 minutes putting heavy pressure on the S.I. defensive line, which remained stout. There were a couple scrambles in the Wildcats penalty box, but more often than not, the S.I. defense calmly cleared the ball away. We got out of our possession game (in the second half), Panos said. Hopefully this will be a bit of a wake-up call. Navarette said. Thats what I praised them for at the end. And like I said, thats the only way you grow. We know how we are, we knew we werent going to go 14-0 and we grew today, we learned a lot. Sometimes you have to take your lumps. We will be a better team because of this. Maturity is something we cant x in a day or two. It takes time so you have to take your lumps. Were not going to get ahead of ourselves, Killigrew said of Aragons fast start to league play. Were going to take every game for what it is. When we were at Terra Nova, we werent thinking about Woodside. Were playing Woodside, were not going to worry about Burlingame. Its just one game at a time and well gure things out. At practice, well change things if they need to be changed. Just take every game like its the championship.

Serra (2-0-2 WCAL, 7-0-2 overall) owned the rst half but had three chances go by the wayside. In the 10th minute, Robert Peardon shrugged off a challenge by a S.I. defender and carried the ball to the end line. His cross into the penalty box was behind two Serra attackers crashing the net, but it found Matt Ministri stationed at the top of the box. His one-timer low and hard on the ground was pushed wide by a diving save from Young. Ten minutes later, Lee Vella threaded a perfect through pass into space that Antoine Martel ran on to and had only the goalkeeper to beat. Young aggressively came off his line and made a kick save of Martels shot to keep the game scoreless. Vella had his rst good scoring chance ve

ZURICH FIFA is working with informers inside organized crime syndicates to help protect the World Cup from match-xing and betting plots. FIFAs security director Chris Eaton outlined a strategy on Thursday for soccers world governing body to attempt to stop the xing of international matches that results in millions of dollars in profit. What were doing now is developing sources both in criminal organizations and football that will advise us, Eaton said in an interview published by FIFAs website. We are creating a hostile environment for match-xers to make them realize we will expose them, name them, and make them subject to investigation somewhere in the world. FIFAs pro-active plan to get information from inside crime syndicates is a direct response to its 208 national member bodies being targeted to help xing plots. The inltration of serious criminals into our associations and football generally is the most pressing issue, Eaton said. FIFA believes crime gangs have received inside help from soccer ofcials to organize international matches and select corrupt referees. FIFA will open a whistleblowers hotline next month offering rewards and amnesties if players, referees and ofcials provide detailed information about their involvement or offers to help x matches. The three-month campaign comes before qualifying for the 2014 World Cup intensies this year.

minutes later, but the S.I. defense closed on him and deected his shot away. Vella would not be denied on his next attack. Receiving the ball near mideld, he made a run down the left sideline, angled in toward the goal and hammered a low, hard shot past Young to put Serra 1-0 at halftime. It was a really good rst half, Panos said. The Wildcats turned the tables on the Padres, however, and dominated the early going of the second half. It reached its apex in the 52nd minute when Edmund Hobbs received a throw in and made a run parallel to the Serra goal. From about 25 yards out, he awkwardly got a shot off which hit high off the right post, back across the goalmouth and into the net to tie the game at 1. Minutes later, Serras inability to clear the ball out of danger led to a 50-50 ball in the middle of the penalty box between Serra goalkeeper Shun Okai and Ryan Case. The two collided with the ball bouncing toward the goal, but it was Eveslage and Angela Knowles to pressure Woodside defenders. That pressure earned Aragon a corner kick in the 45th minute which they executed to perfection it was Killigrews cross that found Petsches head for the 1-0 advantage. That goal was pretty, Killigrew said. We practice set pieces a lot. We really want to put them in when we have our chances. Two, Colglazier brought in Kiana Saniee as a sub in the 56th minute and moments later, a Knowles crossed found No. 12 unmarked in the Woodside penalty box; she proceeded to head in Aragons second goal. The dagger for Aragon came in the 61th minute when Lexie Rogers cocked back and red a shot past Sabrina Proctor from almost 40 yards out to the upper-V for the 3-0 lead. They competed to the last minute,

We played together a while so we know each others style of play. Weve had a full two months of practice. We just need to make sure we just talk. Come the halftime whistle though, Aragon knew it needed to adjust. And theyre moves were golden. One, Kimi Petsche slid back a bit to a holding midelder role, allowing speedsters Addy

NEW YORK Guess $240 million wasnt quite enough for Albert Pujols. In addition to his salary, the Los Angeles Angels are giving the slugger four season tickets to home games over the next decade. He and the Angels still need to work out the location of the seats, which are his to enjoy for the duration of his contract. After that, if he still wants them, he Albert Pujols has to pay. Those details were contained in the terms of his deal that was led Thursday with Major League Baseball and the players association. Other perks include: hotel suite on road trips. luxury suite at the ballpark for the Pujols Foundation, his charitable group, for 10 home games a year. right to buy a luxury suite between rst base and third base for all home games. The deal was so complicated it

includes three separate agreements: His playing contract, a marketing deal and an agreement to enter a 10-year, personal-services agreement following the playing contracts expiration or Pujols retirement, whichever is later. That will pay $1 million annually, but because it is contingent on Pujols actually working for the team, it is not considered guaranteed money for the purposes of baseballs luxury tax. High-payroll teams such as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are likely to examine that structure closely and may emulate it in future agreements. There also is a marketing agreement that will pay Pujols for milestone accomplishments. The player will receive $3 million for 3,000 hits and $7 million for a record 763rd home run. He currently has 2,073 hits and 445 home runs. Including all three agreements, Pujols could make up to $268.75 million over 20 years. That includes $875,000 in possible award bonuses each year for accomplishments such as Most Valuable Player, World Series and league championship series MVP, Gold Glove and Silver Slugger, and making the All-Star team. Triple-A Round Rock last season. He receives a non-roster invitation to spring training. Reynolds was 3-0 with a 6.19 ERA in 13 appearances for the Rockies in 2011, including three starts. He was 6-7 with a 6.81 ERA in 19 starts for Triple-A Colorado Springs. Colorado also nalized a $2 million, one-year deal with third baseman Casey Blake, who can earn another $1 million in performance bonuses. The 38-year-old Blake batted.252 with four homers and 26 RBIs for the Los Angeles Dodgers last season.

The Rise and Fall of States and Nations

By Carl Hartman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

You may never have heard of the Kingdom of the Rock, though for half a millennium it dominated a sizable piece of Scotland. It centered on two fortified hills that overlook the River Clyde at Dumbarton (Camp of the Britons), near todays Glasgow. In his new book, Vanished Kingdoms: The Rise and Fall of States and Nations, British historian Norman Davies names Kingdom of the Rock among 15 Eurasian countries he cites by unfamiliar titles such as Litva and Rusyn. They illustrate the dedication of his book to those whom historians tend to forget. His theme: All governments disappear or lose power in time. History buffs will nd much to admire in the books 830 pages. Davies includes 74 maps, direct quotations and poems. Some of the verse is patriotic doggerel in a variety of languages, with translations in English that mock supernationalist silliness. The 15 countries vary in importance. Ukraine eventually absorbed Rusyn, better known as Carpatho-Ukraine. Its independence lasted just one March day during the upheaval of Hitlers invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1939. Poland was tied to Lithuania for centuries, a European force that Davies calls Litva. Its neighbors separated them and devoured Poland three times in the 1700s. Contradicting Davies theme of countries disappearance, Poland was resurrected twice, after World Wars I and II.

Film addresses notions of trust and respect,loyalty and religion

See KINGDOMS, Page 18

The title, A Separation, is an apt encapsulation of the lm as a whole: It may sound simple, but its results are devastating. Writer-director Asghar Farhadis tale begins life as a domestic disagreement in contemporary Iran and morphs into a legal thriller, one that will have you questioning the characters and your own perception of them again and again. This transformation occurs intimately, organically, and seemingly so effortlessly that you may not recognize it right before your eyes. But the lasting effect will linger; while this story is incredibly detailed in the specicity of its setting, its themes resonate universally.

Farhadi sets the tense tone right off the top with a long, single take in which middle-class husband and wife Simin (Leila Hatami) and Nader (Peyman Moadi) sit before a judge to explain their dispute. She wants the family to leave Tehran to provide their studious daughter, Termeh (the directors daughter, Sarina Farhadi), with better educational opportunities. He wants to stay and care for his aging father, whos suffering from Alzheimers. And so Simin is asking for a divorce. When that request is rejected, she moves out and returns to her parents home; while the daughter stays, Nader still needs help watching his father, who tends to stray and needs assistance with basic daily functions. Nader hires a young, devout Muslim wife and mother named Razieh (Sareh Bayat) to

serve as housekeeper and caretaker while hes at work and Termeh is at school. He thinks he has everything back under control. But one fateful decision leads to another, and then another and another, until finally, serious criminal charges are at stake. The situation explodes with the introduction of Raziehs volatile husband into the mix (Shahab Hosseini, who may be a bit too over the top), a man whos as steadfastly protective of his wife as he is unstable emotionally. A Separation honestly addresses the notions of trust and respect, loyalty and religious devotion. And while it revisits a pivotal moment with hints of Rashomon-style shifts in perspective, it has a structure and narrative style thats condently its own. Who

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

CLOCKS IN BELMONT. Gail Waldo collects clocks. New, old, exquisite, kitsch, huge, tiny, whatever if its a clock, she nds a spot for it. Clocks occupy every wall and nearly every at surface in her home and ofce. Waldo comes by her interest in clocks naturally. Her father was a watchmaker, and she even has his old watch-making bench in her home (covered in small clocks, of course). And when Waldo comes across an intriguing bit of something, she is likely to turn it into a clock herself. A selection of objects from Waldos collection can be seen at Timepieces, opening Sunday, Jan. 8 in the Peninsula Museum of Art with a reception from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Collections Room. Curator Ann Dinapoli said, Waldos collection combines notions of whimsy, nostalgia, family and personal history with the physical motion and sound of clocks. A stroll through these remarkable artifacts is to immerse oneself into time passing. This is a show that Einstein would have found fascinating. Opening the same day at the Peninsula Museum of Art, also with a reception from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., is Peninsula artist Ruth Ecklands video installation Hive. Eckland projects video images onto a succession of scrims to the accompaniment of original music composed by Matt DiFonzo. Visitors are allowed to wander through the installation, experiencing the interaction of changing images and evolving music. Ecklands explains Hive: Walking into a dark gallery, the viewer encounters a three-dimensional installation of staggered scrims hanging from ceiling to oor, alive with projected, frenetic tracings of abstract geometric drawings that form, dissolve and morph organically into hive-like cells and patterns. ... A buzzing hive represents both connection with others and retreat into private worlds. Urban life, in particular, can feel chaotic trafc, commerce, people, the bombardment of light and movement, the medley of noise 24/7. We thrive on the stimulation, but we also need relief, a protected space where we can relax, contemplate and regenerate. Hive is a metaphorical representation of dichotomies and fragmentation that characterize modern existence. Ecklands most recent exhibitions were in the Nakkas Cistern Gallery in Istanbul,

As Greco moves about the set, which is in the basic shape of an airplane, she transforms Amelia from a 6-year-old child into a teenager, then into a young woman and, nally, into the pilot on her last ight. The play was written by Laura Annawyn Shamas and directed by Karen Byrnes. 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 19 and Friday, Jan. 20.

better spot than their current conditions. In fact, the outdated buildings condition led the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury to recommend closure in a 2011 report. Faced with the pending lease renewal, Fraser hired an outside consultant who concluded that although the staff was doing the best job possible within their limitations, the facility should close. Among the buildings challenges are its lack of seismic safety, limited access to outdoors and small crowded rooms with inadequate privacy. San Mateo County is one of only a few counties operating a large skilled nursing facility. The county assumed responsibility in 2003 at the request of the Department of Health Services which put the facility into receivership because the operator faced bankruptcy. The county stepped in rather than risk patients being shipped as far away as Oregon. There was a gun to the countys head. There was no place else for [the patients] to go quickly and, as the provider of last resort, the county had no other choice, Groom said. It was the right thing to do. Since then, the nearly 50-year-old building continued to age and not support modern car standards. County officials originally projected generating $1 million annually after bailing out the facility with millions in loans but the glowing financial picture never happened. The county cut funding and staffing in fiscal year 2010-11, in part because Medi-Cal lowered reimbursement fees. The smaller reimbursements led to the closure of multiple private care facilities, placing a greater burden back on the Burlingame facility. The state also cut its reimbursement rate for nursing care by 23 percent in November, leaving the county to struggle further in operating the center. The decision to close the center was not easy, knowing the impact to patients, family and staff, said Fraser. But it is the right decision given the age and condition of the building, she said. If the board votes not to renew the lease, the transition of patients and staff is anticipated to take 16 months. Although the lease runs through 2013, Dr. Susan Ehrlich, San Mateo Medical Center CEO, said the Health System wanted ample time to move residents. We will not leave Burlingame Long-Term Care until everyone has a new home, Ehrlich said. Whether the staff will have a new home is another question. The facility has 200 filled staff positions and while Fraser said the Health System has held vacant as many spots as possible, she doubts there will be room for everybody. Honestly, under such budget pressure and not a lot of open positions, it is inevitable there will be layoffs, Fraser said. Residents and families can find more information about the recommendation and transition plan at http://www.sanmateomedicalcenter.org/content/LTCR esources.htm

Carole Groom is already leaning toward the proposal. Im thinking it is the right thing to do because of the high cost of the lease and the extremely poor condition of the building. But its a painful thing to do because we have 200 residents there and we need to find new places for them, Groom said. The center at 1100 Trousdale Drive currently uses about 230 of its 281 beds and the average stay is a year although several clients remain indefinitely. Patients at Burlingame LongTerm Care are a mix of ages, no longer needing the acute care of the hospital but still requiring medical help. Dementia is common and the care home houses patients who have no alternative because of their mental and behavioral problems. The medical center already has 32 skilled nursing beds in its previously used Unit 1B before the planned addition of 32 more. Rather than move Burlingame Long-Term Care residents to those slots, Fraser said those will be held for short-term patients coming out of the inpatient unit. The plan, to the extent possible, is to put all residents in other placements, Fraser said. The county is working with the Department of Aging and Adult Services and an outside firm to locate those placements. Regardless of where they land, Groom said residents will likely be in a

knew what about whom, and when, is crucial and heres a friendly suggestion to pay attention, because these essential nuggets of information may slip past you, as well, upon initial viewing. Farhadi lets resentments simmer naturally, lets scenes escalate on their own without overhyping the melodrama with needlessly overwrought music and the like. Similarly, he never takes sides, which means we cant either which sucks us in further. Each time we may think we understand someones motivations, more information is revealed which forces us to re-evaluate the character as well as his or her place within this increasingly complicated scenario. You could easily imagine this sort of dispute erupting and bursting out of control. And the fact that the naturalistic performances are, for the most part, so precisely calibrated makes A Separation even more believable and engrossing. Movies with this kind of moral complexity are rare, so not only is it worth seeking out, its one you need to see with friends because it invites or rather demands debate afterward.

KINGDOM

Occasionally, Davies misses a chance to exploit the light touch. King Dagobert made Paris the capital of Neustria after the Roman empire fell. He inspired a satirical song that may have been written more than a thousand years after his reign. Roughly translated, it begins: Good King Dagobert (the lout!) Put his pants on inside out. The kings spiritual adviser responds, starting a ridiculous dialogue about proper royal dress. Davies doesnt quote further. Some writers think the satirist wrote at the time of the French Revolution in the 1790s, ridiculing monarchs and priests. If so, the satirical point has changed. The words have a catchy tune and the political song has become a nursery rhyme. Almost any French child can sing it for you.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Time to tone down heavy eating

After all that heavy holiday eating, its good to tone it down a bit for the new year. Whether you resolve to make a commitment to better eating or just want a palate cleanser from all the roasts and dips, this light and creamy soup will do the trick. Creamy in texture without being cream-based, this soup satises with vegetables, wild rice and rosemary. Weve opted for quick and lean protein in the form of chicken breast, but shrimp would be another easy, tasty option.

LOS ANGELES HBO red a shot across Netixs bow this week, conrming it will no longer sell discounted DVDs of hit shows like Boardwalk Empire to the subscription video service. The move by Time Warner Inc.s pay TV channel is more antagonistic than damaging. Netix Inc. can maintain its mailorder movie rental offerings by buying HBO discs from other sources even retail stores. Netix will continue to provide HBO programming on DVD and Blu-ray discs for our members, spokesman Steve Swasey said in a statement. Still, HBOs jab heightens the growing rivalry between the companies. In December, Netix CEO Reed Hastings told an investors conference that HBOs online viewing service, HBO GO, was the competitor we fear the most. He noted that consumers with good incomes can afford to both services, but when money is tight they may be forced to choose just one. Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes has belittled Netix, telling The New York Times just over a year ago that it was like the Albanian army going to take over the world. HBO has consistently refused to license its hit shows to Netixs online streaming service. The decision to also halt bulk disc sales to Netix is intended to encourage those who want to watch HBOs shows to subscribe to HBO. We believe in exclusivity, HBO spokesman Jeff Cusson said. Netix offers online streaming of movies and TV shows for as little as $8 a month, but some content providers such as Sony Corp. have pulled movies for fear of damaging their relationships with traditional TV distributors, who offer packages of channels for $100 a month or more.

BUDGET
Continued from page 1
next couple of years the decits that have plagued California, he told reporters during an afternoon news conference. Brown was forced to call the gathering suddenly because his Department of Finance mistakenly posted the budget plan online, four days before the governor had said he would release it. The governors ofce estimates the total general fund budget for the coming year at $92.5 billion, about $7 billion more than the current year. The general fund pays the day-to-day operations of California government and is where the budget has been in decit. To address Californias ongoing shortfall, Brown is trying to gather support for a November ballot initiative that would raise the income tax on those making $250,000 or more a year and boost the state sales tax by a half cent. The higher taxes would raise about $7 billion a year and expire in 2017, a date by which Brown hopes the economy has improved enough to bring a healthy ow of tax revenue back to the state. If voters reject those tax increases, Browns budget says he will call for an automatic cut of $4.8 billion from public education. That is equal to three weeks of school. Earlier Thursday, Brown told reporters therell be a lot of cuts if his initiative fails. Cuts are never nice, because government does a lot of good things. But well have the tax measure proposal, well have some cuts, and then well have some trigger cuts in the event that the tax measure does not succeed, he said. The release of the budget for the coming year comes as California enacts $1 billion in so-called trigger cuts across a wide array of state programs, including higher education, busing for K-12 students and services for the disabled. Those midyear cuts were necessary because tax revenue was coming in much lower than Brown and Democratic lawmakers had anticipated when they passed the current budget last summer. The Democratic governor said he is willing to call for more automatic cuts if revenue misses the mark again in the current year. But any cuts the state will make are likely to be felt more deeply than in years past. Since the recession began in 2007, California has seen tax revenue drop $17 billion, necessitating continued cutbacks to nearly all state services.

Proposed funding cuts in budget

Health and Human Services:
$946.2 million in cuts to CalWORKs,the states main welfare program by reducing assistance to families who are not meeting work requirements. $842.3 million in cuts to Medi-Cal,Californias health care program for the poor by merging service delivery for those who are eligible or both Medi-Cal and Medicare. $163.8 million in cuts to In-Home Supportive Services by eliminating domestic assistance for people in shared living arrangements. $86.9 million in cuts to other health and human services programs. saving $828 million. The governor proposed another $5.4 billion in so-called trigger cuts that would take effect on Jan. 1, 2013, if voters do not approve his tax initiative on the November ballot.Some of those additional cuts include: Another $4.8 billion in education funding, which is equivalent to three weeks of school. $200 million each to the University of California and California State University systems. $125 million to state courts. $15 million to the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. $6.6 million to ood control programs. $1 million to park rangers. $1 million to game wardens. $1 million to lifeguards. Proposals for increased funding: $15.9 million for the California High-Speed Rail Authority, including $6.8 million in administrative support Brown says is needed for legal analysis,accounting,staff,IT services, environmental planning and nancial consulting. $25 million and 135 jobs to complete primary engineering work on the Delta Habitat Conservation and Conveyance Program, which is developing a habitat recovery plan for endangered and sensitive sh and wildlife in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Authorizes the state to spend about $1 billion the state is estimated to bring in in the rst year of its cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for things such as clean energy, natural resource protection and sustainable infrastructure.

Education:
$544.4 million in cuts to education funding under Proposition 98 by eliminating supplemental funding for schools associated with the elimination of the sales tax on gasoline and other adjustments to the states education funding guarantee. $446.9 million in cuts to state-funded child care programs by reducing assistance to families who are not meeting work requirements. $301.7 million in cuts to the Cal Grant student loan program by reducing grants for students attending private and other cuts. $28 million in other education funding cuts.

Other reductions:
Repealing or suspending many state mandates on local governments that Brown believes are unnecessary and burdensome,

If voters approve his ballot proposal for higher taxes, Brown will address the $9.2 billion decit in the coming scal year with a near equal balance of spending cuts and revenue increases. If they do not, the state would make $4.8 billion in additional cuts to the K-12 system, $200 million each to the University of California and California State University systems, $125 million to courts and $15 million to state forest re protection. Even before voters weigh in on the tax initiative, Browns budget includes $4.2 billion in cuts to the states welfare-towork program, Medi-Cal and child care services. He said the cuts to social service programs mean recipients will have the same amount of money in real terms as they did in the 1980s. Were making some very painful reductions, Brown said during the Thursday news conference. This is not nice stuff. Additionally, about 70 of Californias 278 state parks are scheduled to close starting July 1. The education cuts to be enacted if voters fail to pass the tax increases would undermine Browns plans to fully the initiative does that. He made the appeal the same day he released his budget for the scal year that begins July 1. His budget would require nearly $5 billion in cuts to public education if voters reject the tax increases in November. If counties insist on competing with Browns plan, both initiatives could fail, the governor warned. That could result in a squabble that could harm counties relationship with his ofce, he said. Association President Mike McGowan of Yolo County said supervisors fear that voters could reject Browns higher taxes and with it their funding guarantee. Brown responded he has the authority to call a special election on law enforcement funding if that occurs. He declined to elaborate when he was questioned by reporters. Im not going to anticipate anything other than victory, but were going to get the job done, he said. I did make a pledge that I will do everything I can to put a constitutional protection into the California constitution to get the realignment funding, and Ill do that. So if you dont get it one way, youve got to get it another way. Of the 50 county representatives who attended the meeting, 45 voted to suspend their initiative drive. California is sending more criminals to counties to cut state spending and to

fund public schools and make systematic education reforms. Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said he takes issue with Browns proposed cuts to welfare and social programs for the poor. He said he wants to wait a few months to see if the economy continues to improve. Were not going to rush to make any of these decisions, especially on the cuts side, he told reporters right after the governor delivered his budget. He says teachers and students and needy have been impacted by cuts and believes voters will be supportive of Browns tax proposal. Enough of bloodletting, he said. Brown, who failed to reach a compromise with Republicans last year, indicated he would once again bypass the minority party and pass the bulk of his spending plan with Democratic support. Jim Nielsen, vice chair of the Assembly Budget Committee, called the governors plan of raising taxes business as usual by Democrats. The Republican from Gerber criticized the governor for not imposing spending restraints, such as a spending cap. comply with a federal court order upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. The lower court said California must ease prison crowding to improve inmate care. The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation reported Tuesday that it had met the courts rst deadline of reducing the number of inmates by about 10,000. The state is on track to reduce the states inmate population by 33,000, or 23 percent, over two years. Merced County Sheriff Mark Pazin, president of the state sheriffs association, said some counties are still seeing a higher-than-expected increase in criminals they must handle, though corrections ofcials expect the early surge to level off. The concern is not current state funding, he said, but guaranteeing the money in future years. The counties have one of a half-dozen or more possible competing ballot measures backed by organizations that Brown hopes to persuade to join his effort. Many, like the counties association, have yet to begin gathering the signatures needed to put the initiatives before voters. Pending proposals include surtaxes on the wealthy to support schools and counties; a sliding scale income tax that would primarily raise taxes on the rich; and a tax on petroleum products produced in California, with the money going to higher education and the state treasury.

than $250,000 a year, and a half-cent increase in the sales tax for ve years. He urged the association representing Californias 58 counties to stop its campaign plans and join his effort. The California State Association of Counties board of directors later voted to suspend the counties initiative drive, but delayed a debate on supporting Browns proposal until a future meeting. The governors request came as he tries to persuade other interest groups to drop their efforts to put tax increases on the ballot this fall, saying he wants voters to have just one tax issue before them. Its obvious not all of them can pass, and the more confusion, the more difcult it will be, he told the counties association. He said his proposal is better because it includes money for schools and other programs that otherwise could face deeper budget cuts. It includes everything your initiative has, plus its got some money attached to it, Brown told the supervisors. He added that people want to see that the schools are adequately funded and they want to see public safety protected, and

FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 2012 CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You might profit for

the moment if you think solely of yourself, but sooner rather than later youll have to pay the price. Making it worse, your selfishness would be exposed in the process. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It would be best if you handle a problematical development rather than let your counterpart do so. His or her solutions could turn out to be a bit too reckless for you. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If youre smart, youll refrain from taking measures to even a score with a rival. Instead of being vindictive toward an offender,

let the forgiving side of your nature guide your course of action. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Even if its not convenient at the moment for you to do a favor for a pal, find a way to do so anyway. To go out of your way for someone is the true test of friendship. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- First and foremost, be realistic about your financial situation. If you can definitely make a profit on something that is a bit of a gamble, fire your best shot. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Instead of simply ordering someone about, set a good example first so that this person can see youre not asking anything of him or her that you wouldnt do yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There is an old World

War II saying: Loose lips sink ships. Let two friends who have confided in you know that they dont have to worry about any leakage. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be careful if the ante gets raised in an important undertaking. All concerned parties might suddenly start looking out for their own interests when they find out there is something of real value at stake. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Weigh your gains carefully against what you could stand to lose. Have some second thoughts if the balance is unequal. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you are prepared to be self-sufficient, the failure of a counted-on party to

take care of an entrusted task wont set you back. Grin and bear it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Theres a good chance that you might be called upon to clear up a dispute between two close friends. The only way you wont get into trouble is to let each party see that you are truly impartial. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- That road that leads to success in an important objective is likely to be littered with all kinds of impediments. Be prepared to have an alternative route mapped out.
