District searching for schools new home

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo Union ofcials scope options for Peninsula High School
During a Thursday night study session about Measure O, a $186 million bond measure passed in November 2010, the board agreed a new facility for the continuation school should be the next priority for the money. Developers working with the district had been challenged to nd a central location on district-owned property that could house the school. A solution offered at San Mateo High School generated more questions than support. But purchasing land opens up the district to costly environmental reports, lengthy delays in the approval process and opens it up to lawsuits which the district lost in the past. While an answer wasnt reached Thursday evening, the board did agree it should be open to all possible solutions. In addition, it wanted detailed information about prior Measure O spending before deciding which route to take. Peninsula High School needs to be addressed, said Elizabeth McManus, deputy superintendent of business services. Weve modernized all the other schools. We need to move forward on this. The board agreed even if how it moved forward was unknown.
Finding a new home for Peninsula High School is top priority for San Mateo Union High School ofcials when it comes to using 2010 voterapproved funds. Where to put it, however, is a problem for which the district does not yet have an answer.

SAN FRANCISCO Kyle Williams put his hands on his helmet and dropped his head in disgust. A second big mistake by its backup punt returner did in San Francisco at the worst possible time. Williams fumbled in overtime to set up Lawrence Tynes 31-yard eld goal, and the 49ers lost the NFC championship game to the New York Giants 20-17 on Sunday. Williams, returning kicks in place of the injured Ted Ginn Jr., muffed one punt early in the fourth quarter to set up a go-ahead touchdown for New York, then was stripped by Jacquian Williams in overtime to give the Giants the ball at the 24. After three runs and a kneeldown, Tynes kicked the game-winner, and Williams slowly made a dejected walk back to the locker room as the 49ers missed out on a prime chance to go to the Super Bowl. It will be a tough one, coach Jim Harbaugh said. It will take a while to get over. The fact that turnovers did in San Francisco was truly surprising. The 49ers tied an NFL record with just 10 giveaways all season including none on special teams and

San Carlos could become the latest Peninsula city to outlaw polystyrene packaging, a ban the mayor said is way overdue. Lets ban it all. Weve waited too long and are too far behind, said Mayor Andy Klein. Tonight, Klein and his fellow councilmen will discuss whether the city should move in that direction and, if so, ask staff to craft an ordinance for future approval. The city has been talking about the idea for some months but wanted to gather public input from residents and businesses before pulling the trigger. Although the city has a handful of vendors that havent moved away from polystyrene better known as the brand name Styrofoam Klein thinks even they are ready for a change. People didnt want to ban DDT either and now we laugh to think that was ever used. Well ght for about a minute and then well go on, Klein said. The city is looking at emulate the countys polystyrene ban, already in place, and will also let the county provide enforcement. Doing so curbs costs of outreach and enforcement as well as providing a template that has already worked out the kinks. Councilman Ron Collins thinks the ban a no-brainer because polystyrene is on its way out regardless. The thing is sort of like banning something after its gone out of style. Its like telling department stores they can no longer sell corduroy bell-bottoms, Collins said. But Councilman Mark Olbert said there is still a lot of polystyrenebased trash littering the highways,

Sigourney Weaver revisits paranormal with Red Lights

Weavers Sundance Film Festival premiere, Red Lights, is a dark exploration of the supernatural realm she previously took on in comic mode with Ghostbusters and its sequel. I probably dont believe in fairies and ghosts, but I certainly believe that people have souls, Weaver, 62, said in an interview. I think that, and thats theres more going on around us than we can explain in a rational way. What did surprise Weaver in preparing for her role is what a huge business psychic entertainment was, she said. Red Lights features Weaver as a skeptic whose lifes work is debunking phony claims of the paranormal. The lm from writer-director Rodrigo Cortes co-stars Robert De Niro as a superstar of the psychic realm, Cillian Murphy as Weavers assistant and Elizabeth Olsen as one of their students. There has been talk of a third Ghostbusters movie that would reunite Weaver with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and other co-stars. Weaver likes the idea but has doubts it will happen. Id love to work with everybody again, Weaver said. I think, mmm, at this point, I think its probably less than 50-50. Thats what I think.

Cemeteries and cable cars in SF

n May 30, 1854, Lone Mountain Cemetery opened up to the west of the Western Addition in San Francisco. The name of this cemetery was changed to Laurel Hill Cemetery in 1864 as Lone Mountain was south of it and the name confused many people. To the east of the cemetery ran Central Avenue, also called Cemetery Avenue until it was nally changed to Presidio. The Roman Catholics opened the Calvary Cemetery in 1860, between Geary and Turk, Masonic and Divisadero (approximately). Part of the area is now where Kaiser Hospital is located. Further to the west, in the Richmond District, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows opened their cemetery in 1865. Rossi Park is the approximate site of part of this cemetery. In 1846, the Masonic Cemetery opened where the University of San Francisco now is located. The spell of mystery surrounding cemeteries and the dead was fading from history and the new generations of people acknowledged that they were necessary and did not pose a great disease threat (due to vapors emitting from them) that had been believed for hundreds of years. Times were changing and the nature of a cemetery was changing in America. The grounds of these cemeteries

were manicured with grass. Trees (exotic and native) were planted in abundance. The trees were a welcome relief to the landscape because the western hills were devoid of trees. Sand dunes and scrub brush abounded and the keepers of the cemeteries were adamant in making a park-like setting for patrons who would visit them. Walkways were set up for the visitors to wander around the grounds. Events were scheduled that attracted thousands on holidays and weekends. The visit to
the cemeteries became a ritual to many of the San Franciscans that lived cooped up in apartments and houses in the rapidly developing eastern part of San Francisco. In 1873, Andrew Hallidie, inventor and entrepreneur, formed the Clay Street Hill Railroad (fare 5 cents) after he invented the cable car. He laid 2,791 feet of track up the east side of Nob Hill to conquer the 305-foot elevation (a 11 percent overall grade with a 16 percent grade between Taylor and Jones) needed to get to Jones Street. In 1876, he was handling 150,000 passengers a month. He built a powerhouse at Leavenworth Street. Hallidies invention was to change the face of San Francisco although at rst his cable car was able to transport only a dozen or so passengers and the line ran from Kearny Street, near Portsmouth Square, west on Clay to Hyde Street. It proved to be so successful that the line was extended to Van Ness in 1877. Hallidie had a monopoly on cable car transportation due to his patent but, in 1877, another line challenged his monopoly with the advent of the Sutter Street Railway. Not to be outdone, Leland Stanford and investors acquired rights from Hallidie to start another cable car line the California Street Cable Railroad that ran west from Kearny along California Street to Fillmore. Success followed this venture and Stanford soon after extended the line to Central Avenue (Presidio) to service the cemeteries. With the concept of cable car transportation igniting the public, attendance soared and the Western Addition real estate boom was on. The land beyond Presidio now became accessible and prices

Neil Young journeys to Utah with new film

By David Germain
PARK CITY, Utah Neil Young recalls how his rst concert lm with director Jonathan Demme was a lush, stately tribute to country music. He says their latest, Neil Young Journeys, is more like an electric bolt, with a grinding, blinding beauty to it. Their 2006 film Neil Young: Heart of Gold premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was a reective, comforting chronicle of two shows Young performed at Nashvilles Ryman Auditorium alongside such longtime musical comrades as Emmylou Harris, Ben Keith and Spooner Oldham. Journeys is a raw, thunderous counterpart, lmed by Demme at Torontos Massey Hall during the closing shows of Youngs solo tour last year. Solo often implies intimate and acoustic, but Young wails away on electric guitar, harmonica, piano and organ throughout the show. The new lm played Saturday at the Slamdance Film Festival, a rival showcase to Sundance. Demme says it was a tting place because both Slamdance and the lm share something of a bad-boy attitude. Journeys is so different from Heart of Gold. Its like the other side of the universe, Young, 66, said in an interview alongside Demme. Heart of Gold was a massive production with great caretaking to present this whole image of this forgotten style of presenting music, in this great old chapel of country music. ...
Neil Youngs lmJourneyspremiered at last Septembers Toronto International Film Festival and has since been picked up for theatrical distribution by Sony Pictures Classics.
This lm we just made is so opposite of that. Its just one person. The sound is completely different and the attitude of it is different. The look is different. ... The sounds are kind of enveloping. You get to move way inside, whereas, Heart of Gold, youre way back, going, Oh, its beautiful seeing it from the back, seeing all these beautiful people, these great musicians. And this one here, youre like inside my instrument, inside the distortion of the guitar. Theres nothing in the way. Demme and Young seem to be on a never-ending lm journey. The new movie marks the fourth lm collaboration between Young and Demme, the Academy Award-winning director of The Silence of the Lambs. Young, who lives in La Honda, earned an Oscar nomination for the title song of Demmes 1993 AIDS drama Philadelphia, and in between Heart of Gold and Journeys, the two made the 2009 concert lm Neil Young Trunk Show. Journeys premiered at last Septembers Toronto International Film Festival and has since been picked up for theatrical distribution by Sony Pictures Classics. The lm includes extreme closeups of Young captured by a tiny camera mounted on his microphone. The camera was so close its lens catches globs of spit from Young as hes singing, adding a bit of a psychedelic tinge to the images. Its more distorted and funky. Its a little bit more in your face, Young said. Its like zooming in
on something, losing everything thats usually around it, and youre just losing everything else. Theres no bass, no drums, theres no other guitars, theres no other voices, theres no synthesizers, theres no echo. Theres just this thing. Its a big sound, because youre right up on it. Its like a fantastic voyage into your guitars. Along with songs from Youngs 2010 album Le Noise, Journeys features such classics as After the Gold Rush, Ohio and Down by the River. Intercut between the songs in Journeys is a road trip Young takes to one of the Toronto shows from his northern Ontario hometown of Omemee, cruising with Demme in a 1956 Ford Crown Victoria and commenting on how the towns and landscape have changed. This whole world of cars and music, thats a big chunk of Neils DNA. Hes all about cars and driving and music in motion, Demme said. I dont think we had any discussions. It was just like, well, were going to Canada to shoot the concert in Toronto. Obviously, well drive down there from Omemee and take a look and see whats changed, and kind of just discover the past in the present. The same way the songs are very often kind of reective. ... It put a lens up to his life. Hes a medium for all of our lives. Certainly, our generation, whatever Neils been singing about for the last 40 years or whatever, its like, Thank you. Thats exactly what I was feeling. Youve put it into words and music.

Health overhaul lags in states

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
WASHINGTON Heres a reality check for President Barack Obamas health overhaul: Three out of four uninsured Americans live in states that have yet to gure out how to deliver on its promise of affordable medical care. This is the year that will make or break the health care law. States were supposed to be partners in carrying out the biggest safety net expansion since Medicare and Medicaid, and the White House claims theyre making steady progress. But an analysis by The Associated Press shows that states are moving in ts and starts. Combined with new insurance coverage estimates from the nonpartisan Urban Institute, it reveals a patchwork nation. Such uneven progress could have real consequences. If it continues, it will mean dispar-
ities and delays from state to state in carrying out an immense expansion of health insurance scheduled in the law for 2014. That could hapBarack Obama pen even if the Supreme Court upholds Obamas law, called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. There will be something there, but if it doesnt mesh with the states culture and if the state is not really supporting it, that certainly wont help it succeed, said Urban Institute senior researcher Matthew Buettgens. The 13 states that have adopted a plan are home to only 1 in 4 of the uninsured. An additional 17 states are making headway, but its not clear all will succeed. The 20 states
lagging behind account for the biggest share of the uninsured, 42 percent. Among the lagging states are four with arguably the most to gain. Texas, Florida, Georgia and Ohio together would add more than 7 million people to the insurance rolls, according to Urban Institute estimates, reducing the annual burden of charity care by $10.7 billion. Its not that we want something for free, but we want something we can afford, said Vicki McCuistion of Driftwood, Texas, who works two part-time jobs and is uninsured. With the nations highest uninsured rate, her state has made little progress. The Obama administration says McCuistion and others in the same predicament have nothing to fear. The fact of states moving at different rates does not create disparities for a particular states uninsured population, said Steve Larsen, director of the Center for Consumer
Information and Insurance Oversight at the federal Department of Health and Human Services. Thats because the law says that if a state isnt ready, the federal government will step in. Larsen insists the government will be ready, but its not as easy as handing out insurance cards. Someone has to set up health insurance exchanges, new one-stop supermarkets with online and landline capabilities for those who buy coverage individually. A secure infrastructure must be created to verify income, legal residency and other personal information, and smooth enrollment in private insurance plans or Medicaid. Many middle-class households will be eligible for tax credits to help pay premiums for private coverage. Separate exchanges must be created for small businesses. Its a very heavy lift, said Californias health secretary, Diana
Dooley, whose state was one of the rst to approve a plan. Coverage is certainly important, but its not the only part. It is very complex. California has nearly 7.5 million residents without coverage, more than half of the 12.7 million uninsured in the states with a plan. An estimated 2.9 million Californians would gain coverage, according to the Urban Institutes research, funded by the nonpartisan Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Democrats who wrote the overhaul law had hoped that most states would be willing partners, putting aside partisan differences to build the exchanges and help cover more than 30 million uninsured nationally. Its not turning out that way. Some states, mainly those led by Democrats, are far along. Others, usually led by Republicans, have done little. Separately, about half the states are suing to overturn the law.

Gingrich comeback also vindication

By Thomas Beaumont
COLUMBIA, S.C. To say Newt Gingrich capped an extraordinary comeback with a South Carolina victory doesnt quite capture what happened. It was more like vindication. The former House speaker came from behind to overtake Mitt Romney on Saturday in a state that for decades has chosen the eventual Republican nominee. On the way there, Gingrich triumphed over months of campaign turmoil and at least two political near-death expe-
Newt Gingrich
riences as well as millions of dollars of attack advertisements and potentially damning personal allegations. He did it by nding his voice and rallying conservatives with a populist deance. The American people feel that they have elites who have been trying to force us to stop being Americans, Gingrich told cheering supporters in Columbia after he was declared the victor. Its not that I am a good debater. Its that I articulate the deepest-felt values of the American people. It was on the debate stage that the pugnacious Gingrich arguably
revived his presidential campaign, not once but twice in the past year, by giving a tea party-infused GOP exactly what its hungering for a no-holds-barred attack dog willing to go after President Barack Obama with abandon. If Gingrich wins the nomination, his confrontational attitude against all things Obama likely will be a big reason Republicans choose him over chief rival Romney. Gingrich, a political strategist in his own right who has a knack for understanding precisely what the GOP electorate wants, has aggressively taken it to Obama since the
moment he entered the race last spring determined to turn his nationwide grass-roots network of support that hes cultivated for a decade into a front-running White House campaign. But he stumbled early, including by disparaging the House Republicans Medicare proposal as right-wing social engineering and was all but forced to apologize after the conservative outcry. His campaign nearly imploded over strategy squabbles, with virtually his entire senior staff abandoning him before the summer even began. And he was broke after spending lavishly.

Romney pressing reset after loss

ORMOND BEACH, Fla. Mitt Romney is pressing reset. After a crushing loss to Newt Gingrich in South Carolina, the former Massachusetts governor made clear Sunday that he plans to attack his chief rivals character, release his tax returns this week and try to right a campaign he acknowledged had been knocked off kilter.

allies have been alone on the air for weeks the race has become a two-way fight between him and Gingrich, the former House speaker with a huge dose of momentum. And now Romneys team is girding for a long and costly fight for the party nod that extends well beyond Florida after Saturday nights shellacking in South Carolina that underscored the former Massachusetts governors vulnerabilities and undermined his claims of becoming the inevitable Republican nominee.
Giffords to resign from Congress this week

WASHINGTON Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona announced Sunday she intends to resign from Congress this week to concentrate on recovering from wounds suffered in an assassination attempt a little more than a year ago that shook the country. I dont remember much from that
horrible day, but I will never forget the trust you placed in me to be your voice, the Democratic lawmaker said on a video posted without prior notice on her Facebook page. Im getting better. Every day my spirit is high, she said. I have more work to do on my recovery. So to do whats best for Arizona, I will step down this week.
Giffords was shot in the head and grievously wounded last January as she was meeting with constituents outside a supermarket in Tucson, Ariz. Her progress had seemed remarkable, to the point that she was able to walk dramatically into the House chamber last August to cast a vote. Her shooting prompted an agonizing national debate about super-
charged rhetoric in political campaigns, although the man charged in the shooting later turned out to be mentally ill. In Washington, members of Congress were told to pay more attention to their physical security. Legislation was introduced to ban high-capacity ammunition clips, although it never advanced.

New reality: Islamists fill power void

By Maggie Michael
CAIRO The United States and other Western governments must accept the new reality that Islamists have emerged to ll the power vacuum in the Arab world after a wave of popular uprisings, Human Rights Watch said in its annual report Sunday. The New York-based group also urged Islamist parties, which have emerged as the biggest winners in recent elections in Tunisia and Egypt and are expected to fare well in Libya, to respect the rights of
women and religious minorities, saying they cannot pick and choose when it comes to human rights. Islamist parties are genuinely popular in the Arab world, said HRWs executive director, Kenneth Roth, warning that ignoring that popularity would violate democratic principles. Being a political Islamic government should not be a reason to turn a government into a pariah, Roth told reporters in Cairo, where the group released its annual report. The Arab Spring revolts began in Tunisia in late 2010 and quickly
spread to Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Syria and Bahrain, deposing or challenging authoritarian rulers as citizens who long seemed incapable or unwilling to rise against decades of repression took to the streets in a stunning awakening. Since the collapse of the regimes in Egypt and Tunisia a year ago, Islamist groups once largely conned to the political sidelines, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, have formed parties and contested parliamentary polls, winning the greatest share of seats. Even the ultraconservative Salas, who abstained from politics
under Egypts ousted President Hosni Mubarak, have fared well, winning more than 20 percent of the vote in the countrys rst post-uprising ballot. Roth was cautious when asked about concerns about potential human rights violations under Islamist rule. He said that so far, Islamists have said a lot of right things, but said the true test will be how they deal with the full sweep of human rights once in power. These are the big questions, he said. The Muslim Brotherhood, for example, has been most interested in
political freedoms, but Roth noted that it is very difcult to secure political freedom if you are not respecting religious and women rights. In some ways, the unexpected Arab uprisings have amounted to a slap to the United States and other Western governments, which had supported autocratic regimes that served as bulwarks against Islamists hostile to the West and appeared to offer stability in a volatile region. The West backed an array of autocrats as long as they, in turn, supported Western interests, Roth said. The West is still adjusting to this historic transformation. tightly held capital of Damascus, adding urgency just as the Arab League was extending an observers mission that so far has failed to end long months of bloody violence. The two events outlined how an uprising against President Bashar Assad that started with mass popular protests is moving now toward an armed conict that could draw international intervention an outcome the Arab League is trying to avoid.

Gabrielli said that relatives of a Hungarian woman have told Italian authorities that she had telephoned them from aboard the ship and that they havent heard from her since the accident. He said it was possible that a womans body pulled from the wreckage by divers on Saturday might be that of the unregistered passenger. But one of Concordias ofcers, whos recovering from a broken leg suffered during the evacuation, dismissed the allegation that such passengers were on the ship.

Spotlight on private equity

By Jahan Alamzad
Other voices
the target areas. In fact, on some occasions, there is another layer in between, named fund of funds, that allocates the capital of principal sources to investment funds. The overarching objective at every layer of this privateequity structure is to make money. At the same time, the services that private equity provides by funneling the capital from the principal sources to where that capital is needed, ends up creating wonderful corporations, allows restructuring of companies besieged with difculties and in fact creates jobs. If the economy is growing at a healthy rate, business opportunities abound and private equity will then nds it much more protable to engage in productive investments that create wealth and employment concurrently. On the other hand, in a sluggish economy, private equity, with its money-making inspiration, engages in activities that make others perspire. A stressed company can be raided with little capital and a lot of debt, its assets plundered to pay for that hefty debt so the invested capital for that acquisition can be recouped and some, and workers asked to join the unemployment lines with shiny new pink slips. There cannot be much argument about how imperative it is to return to robust growth so that destructive mergers and acquisitions can be avoided. How to get to that growth demarks the political divide. Those on the extreme right advocate that if all the envisaged safety mechanisms are pulled, and the unrestrained free market is allowed to operate, then the private-equity players wont nd it necessary to engage in shady, destructive behaviors since there will be enough good opportunities for them. The primal goal of those rms, i.e.,
he sound decibel is high these days for the role that private equity and venture capital has been playing in todays modern capitalism, courtesy of the current Republican candidates battling for the nomination of their party to face President Obama in November. On one extreme, unabashed supporters wag their nger at those questioning and say, dont talk about something you dont know anything about! Of course, thats a convenient cliche when suppression is preferred over discussion. Diametrically opposite to that extreme are those whose condemnation of the part private equity performs in the economy is unequivocal. All they see is a faceless, close-knit clique getting super rich, often with tasteless, nouveau riche excesses rather than a bon vivant yet caring lifestyle, ostensibly at the expense of others suffering from their brinkmanship. Somewhere between those two extremes lies the reality. Capitalism requires the ow of capital to economic activities so it can blend with labor to produce goods and services. Thus wealth is created, products are made, services are rendered and employment is generated. In the modern, complex capitalist system we have, creating the means for the capital to ow from principal sources to spots in the economy in need of that capital is critically important. The structure of private equity is one mechanism for that vital delivery. The principal sources of capital, ranging from some of the largest public employee pension funds with tens of billions of dollars in their coffers, to small retail investors, often do not have easy ways to invest directly. Even family ofces of some of the wealthy individuals seldom partake in direct investments. Investment funds are hence created for the direct deployment of capital to
making money, guides them toward deploying capital in productive ways. The extreme left argues differently. They say that if no restraint is imposed, then the thirst of private equity will not be quenched merely with productive investments. It will also destroy enterprises if it can make money out of doing so. Again, the reality is somewhere between those two extremes. Some solutions to todays issues visa-vis private-equity are obvious. One is increased direct investments by principal sources of capital. Some very large public employee retirement funds have taken steps in that direction, which is the right direction. By increased direct investments, more professionals are employed by principal sources and less is taken out of the capital that eventually is received by the targets in need of that capital and more will remain where the capital is needed. Also, the double blind can be avoided principal sources not having a say in how private equity they fund deploys capital, and private equity not accountable to losses out of its own pocket (the no-risk capitalism). In the current system, there are multiple layers between the principal sources of capital and the places for usage, assuming that the money-making objective requires a large enough bite at every layer to justify the existence of that layer. It is then less complicated to deploy capital from the source to usage and the economy and the employment market will be better off. Some political will is needed to have the right public policies, in terms of taxes and regulations, in place for facilitating the ow of capital, yet safeguarding against abuses. Lets hope we can nd that will in the midst of annoying and loud advocacy by both extremes.

Letter to the editor

AT&T cell tower lawsuit
Editor, I thought Michelle Durands Jan. 20 article on the possible settlement of AT&Ts cell tower lawsuit against the City of San Carlos captured the essentials of a complex issue. But I would like to add a few additional points. First off, however, I want to correct a misstatement on my part. In commenting on how the city review process didnt catch the errors in the original application, I should have said, Im disappointed we didnt spot those mistakes. The council, after all, is ultimately responsible for how the city operates. I did not mean to single out the citys hardworking staff. Like my colleagues quoted in the article, I am unhappy with the quality of AT&Ts original submission. Federal law gives wireless companies wide latitude to require communities to accept cell towers. With great power comes great responsibility: the companies have an obligation to submit accurate proposals that incorporate the best available aesthetics. AT&Ts original proposal didnt meet that standard. Worse yet, when called on those deciencies, the companys response was to sue the city. As American automakers learned the hard way, its far better to get things right the rst time than it is to try and x mistakes. The resources spent on preparing and ling the lawsuit would have been better spent drafting a proper initial proposal. Besides being the right thing to do, that would have avoided a lawsuit against a community lled with ones customers customers who may well remember AT&Ts choices when it comes time to renew their cell phone contracts.

hat a busy and eventful year 2012 promises to be. Here are some races to watch close to home: Jerry Hill versus Sally Lieber: They are running for a new state Senate seat established by reapportionment. Most of the new district is in San Mateo County but some signicant voting areas are in Santa Clara County Palo Alto, Stanford, Los Altos and Mountain View. The stars certainly seem to favor Jerry, especially in his home county. He is a popular current state assemblyman where he chairs the Democratic Caucus (an advantage in fundraising). He is a former county supervisor and a former San Mateo councilman. The only serious opposition he has faced was his rst race for the San Mateo City Council. Since then, he has coasted to the Board of Supervisors unopposed, and enjoyed an easy win in his race for the Assembly. Lieber, on the other hand, surprised everyone when she won a seat on the Mountain View City Council and subsequently a seat in the state Assembly. She is a hard worker, loves the door-todoor canvassing and has been underrated in her political career. She was termed out of the state assembly and expected to run for the state senate seat which included mostly Santa Clara County. But redistricting changed that. Unlike Hill, who started his political career as a Republican, Lieber has always been on the liberal side of the Democratic Party. Hill went to the University of California at Berkeley and Lieber, after being a school dropout, ended up at Stanford University. If you live in San Mateo County, its hard to believe that Hill, certainly a favorite son, will have any trouble in this race. But knowing Liebers political history, it would be foolish to call it a landslide at this early date. *** Memo Morantes versus Shelly Masur: This is a contest for the county Board of Supervisors to ll the seat of Rose Jacobs Gibson as she is termed out. Morantes currently serves on the county Board of Education. He has the support of most of his colleagues on the Board of Education, past and present. He was rst to declare and picked up some important endorsements but he has lost some as a challenger has entered the race. Masur was recently re-elected to the Redwood City Elementary School Board of Trustees. She has picked up the endorsement of supervisors Don Horsley and Dave Pine and the lone county school board trustee not to endorse Morantes, Rod Hsiao. Masurs campaign seems to be gathering steam with many city councilmember endorsements. But there are also rumors that some of the supes are hunting for a third candidate. *** Sad news from Burlingame: Jim Nantell, Burlingame city manager, will retire when his replacement is found. Nantell started his career with the city of San Mateo where he served as director of Parks and Recreation and Human Services, interim re chief and deputy city manager. He was hired as Burlingame city manager in 2000. San Mateos loss was Burlingames gain. In the many years I worked with Nantell, he always impressed me as one of the nicest people in city government. Employees felt the same way, even when Nantell was the citys chief negotiator. His biggest challenge in San Mateo was taking on the role of interim re chief to replace an unpopular chief and a Fire Department in open warfare with the city. As in everything else hes done, Jim rose to the occasion and brought unity where there was once chaos. Several Burlingame councilmembers are trying to champion a state ballot measure to stop high-speed rail. They are right up there with House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Bakerseld, U.S. Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Merced, and Republicans in Sacramento. Not very good company, even though they will make some of their constituents happy. As Peter Calthorpe writes, More than a train ride is at stake: high-speed rail could catalyze the next generation of growth (and) ... revitalization along with more walkable, affordable communities. Instead, these councilmembers want to turn the clock back. *** San Mateo has turned down a bid from SnapLogic, a startup software company, to expand into the ground oor of the beautiful Collective Antiques building on Third Avenue. SnapLogic will probably move. The city prohibits ofce use at ground level downtown because it wants retail and storefronts to attract pedestrian trafc. But in these times of vacant store fronts, exibility and creativity are in order. Empty storefronts are no fun to look at. Besides, downtown is crowded at night because of the movies and restaurants. An updated vision is needed for downtown.

Risky plays do well

By Daniel Wagner
WASHINGTON The stock market has had an impressive January. The staid companies that make up the Dow Jones industrial average have gained 4 percent in three weeks, and the broader market has done even better. But the Nasdaq composite a collection of technology stocks whose dotcom heyday was more than a decade ago has left them both in the dust. Thats no surprise when you consider tech stocks took a licking last year. Tech companies tend to carry more risk a problem for the Nasdaq during last years market gyrations. As investors regain condence in the economy, riskier plays are doing well. But experts say the Nasdaqs gains reect long-term currents that could lift tech stocks through 2012 and beyond. Many companies put off replacing wornout technology during the recession. To compete and survive, they need to invest in tech. Theres also a growing global market for technology as more nations try to reduce labor costs by automating every-
thing from factories to cash registers. And the biggest tech companies face less competition these days when they try to acquire smaller companies. Many of their mid-sized rivals for those deals were weeded out after the dot-com bust and the nancial crisis. In the market for mergers and acquisitions, established players like IBM and Oracle can be picky about buying only those companies that will increase their earnings and probably their stock prices. In other words, its not all about Microsoft-style titans and trendy social media companies like LinkedIn and Zynga. The Nasdaq contains more than 3,000 companies, many of them relative startups compared with the companies in the Standard & Poors 500 index. For the year just 13 trading days old the Nasdaq composite is up 7 percent, compared with 4.6 percent for the S&P 500 and 4.1 percent for the Dow. It looks like its going to be their year, or at least their month, says Michael Vogelzang, chief investment ofcer at Boston Advisors LLC. The Nasdaq sank 1.8 percent last year, while the Dow rose 5.5 percent and the
S&P was at. That left tech stocks relatively cheap, giving them more space to rise as the broader market rallied. Oracle is up 11.9 percent this year, Microsoft 14.5 percent. Vogelzang and others say the tech rally has further to go. If you want to make your company more productive, you have to turn to the world of technology for that, says Kim Caughey Forrest, senior analyst with Fort Pitt Capital Group. She expects the S&P 500s tech sector to outperform the broader market because of strong demand from U.S. companies, developing nations such as China and even cash-strapped European governments. As Chinas banking system exploded to serve a growing middle class, banks there spent big on IBM technology, she noted. Nobody questions whether they need the latest and greatest technology anymore. They know they need to keep up their technology spending, says Eric Gebaide, managing director of Innovation Advisors, a tech-focused investment bank and strategic advisory rm.
Pot-based drug looks for FDA OK

By Lisa Leff
SAN FRANCISCO A quarter-century after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the rst prescription drugs based on the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, additional medicines derived from or inspired by the cannabis plant itself could soon be making their way to pharmacy shelves, according to drug companies, small biotech rms and university scientists. A British company, GW Pharma, is in advanced clinical trials for the worlds rst pharmaceutical developed from raw marijuana instead of synthetic equivalents a mouth spray it hopes to market
in the U.S. as a treatment for cancer pain. And it hopes to see FDA approval by the end of 2013. Sativex contains marijuanas two best known components delta 9-THC and cannabidiol and already has been approved in Canada, New Zealand and eight European countries for a different usage, relieving muscle spasms associated with multiple sclerosis. FDA approval would represent an important milestone in the nations often uneasy relationship with marijuana, which 16 states and the District of Columbia already allow residents to use legally with doctors recommendations. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration categorizes pot as a dangerous drug with no medical value, but
the availability of a chemically similar prescription drug could increase pressure on the federal government to revisit its position and encourage other drug companies to follow in GW Pharmas footsteps. There is a real disconnect between what the public seems to be demanding and what the states have pushed for and what the market is providing, said Aron Lichtman, a Virginia Commonwealth University pharmacology professor and president of the International Cannabinoid Research Society. It seems to me a company with a great deal of vision would say, If there is this demand and need, we could develop a drug that will help people and we will make a lot of money.
Greek yogurt on a marathon-like growth spurt

By Michael HIll
SOUTH EDMESTON, N.Y. Chobani is making Greek yogurt as fast as Americans are eating it. Its plant here in upstate New York farm country already pumps out 1.5 million cases of the thick yogurt every week, and pallets are stacked four stories high in the chilled warehouse. But like other Greek yogurt makers, Chobani is expanding. Greek yogurt now accounts for a quarter of the total yogurt market after a dizzying growth spurt that is especially apparent here in the heart of upstate New York. The nations No. 1 and No. 2 Greek yogurt brands Chobani and Fage, respectively are both expanding plants within 60 miles of each other, and another company is building a plant in western New York. The expansions come as the big U.S. yogurt makers are focusing on Greek products, too. Greek yogurt is made a bit differently than the thinner, more watery product that dominated U.S. supermarket shelves for decades. The whey is strained off, leaving a creamier yogurt high in protein and low in fat. While the quick growth has some hallmarks of a food fad think cupcakes or bubble tea the long-term investments point to a widespread industry belief that many Americans will continue to like their yogurt a bit richer. I personally do not believe that the yogurt story has started yet. I believe the yogurt story in this country is about to start, Chobanis founder, Hamdi Ulukaya, said during an interview in his ofce. The magnitude hasnt started yet.

Family,football meant everything to Joe Paterno

By Genaro C. Armas
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Other than family, football was everything to Joe Paterno. It was his lifeblood. It kept him pumped. Life could not be the same without it. Right now, Im not the coach. And Ive got to get used to that, Paterno said after the Penn State Board of Trustees red him at the height of a child sex abuse scandal. Before he could, he ran out of time.
Paterno, a sainted gure at Penn State for almost half a century but scarred forever by the scandal involving his one-time heir apparent, died Sunday at age 85. His death came just 65 days after his son Scott said his father had been diagnosed with lung cancer. Mount Nittany Medical Center conrmed that was the cause of death, at 9:25 a.m. Friends and former colleagues believe there were other factors the kind that wouldnt appear on a death certicate.
You can die of heartbreak. Im sure Joe had some heartbreak, too, said 82year-old Bobby Bowden, the former Florida State coach who retired two years ago after 34 seasons in Tallahassee. Longtime Nebraska coach Tom Osborne said he suspected the emotional turmoil of the last few weeks might have played into it. And Mickey Shuler, who played tight end for Paterno from 1975 to
1977, held his alma mater accountable. I dont think that the Penn State that he helped us to become and all the principles and values and things that he taught were carried out in the handling of his situation, he said. Paternos death just under three months following his last victory called to mind another coaching great,

Patriots in Super Bowl

By Barry Wilner
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Tom Brady waited out the nal tense minutes on the sideline and somehow his fourth-quarter leap into the end zone held up, sending the New England Patriots back to the Super Bowl. With New England leading by 3 points with 11 seconds left, Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard eld goal attempt and the Patriots escaped with a 2320 win Sunday in the AFC championship game. On his 1-yard scoring dive with 11:29 left, Brady took a huge hit from Ravens star linebacker Ray Lewis, then emphatically spiked the ball as he walked away. Earlier, Brady showed his re by barking at Lewis following a hard tackle on a 4-yard run. Next up as the Patriots chase their fourth Super Bowl trophy in Brady and coach Bill Belichicks tenure in New England is the winner of Sundays NFC championship game between the Giants and 49ers. The Super Bowl is Feb. 5 in Indianapolis. In their last trip to the big game, the Patriots had an 18-0 record when they were stunned by the Giants four years ago. They won the NFL championship for the 2001, 2003 and 2004 seasons. This time, they had to the Sup Bowl with a 10-game winning streak. Bradys fth trip to the Super Bowl will equal John Elways achievement with Denver. Were going to try to go out and kick some butt in a couple of weeks, Brady said. Before Cundiff missed, the Ravens had a chance to go ahead two plays earlier, but wide receiver Lee Evans was stripped of the ball in the end zone by backup cornerback Sterling Moore, who earlier was victimized for a touchdown that gave Baltimore the lead 17-16. Then Cundiff misfired, and the Patriots stormed off their sideline in celebration as the chilled crowd roared. A three-time NFL champion, Brady didnt throw for a touchdown for the rst time in 36 games, although he did pass for 239 yards. Well, I (stunk) pretty bad today, but our defense saved us, Brady said.

Manning no longer has to prove greatness

AN FRANCISCO As if by design, the rain started swirling through Candlestick Park as it became clear that more than 60 minutes would be needed to nd a proper opponent for the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. Eli Manning had already thrown the ball 52 times, with mixed results in the NFC championship game Sunday. Now he put on his helmet and headed out for overtime against a San Francisco 49ers defense that had no intention of allowing him to do anything that would spoil their own magical ride through the playoffs. Earlier in the season, he had proclaimed himself among the top quarterbacks in the league. If this were a script, he would have marched the New York Giants down the eld for the game winning touchdown to prove himself a man of his word. Didnt quite happen that way. There was no long drive. No quick touchdown strike. Just the satisfaction of being in another Super Bowl, which was plenty by itself to put a wide grin on the face of a quarterback who no longer has to live in the shadow of his big brother. I think everyone knew we were going to get a break, get a chance to win this game, Manning said. Something was going to happen. What happened will be a sore spot for years among 49ers fans. It will hurt even longer than that for Kyle Williams, the backup punt returner who couldnt keep his hands on the football. Mannings last play was an anticlimatic

Davis grabs 2nd straight World Cup gold in 1,000

By Lynn DeBruin
KEARNS, Utah At 29, twotime Olympic gold medalist Shani Davis was starting to feel old. The American speed skating star had been competing for 23 years, and after disappointing World Cup results in Europe this fall, he began to wonder. I was really down. I was sad about my performances. I didnt feel like it was me and I started
thinking maybe Im getting too old for this, Davis said. Not anymore, not after winning his second gold in as many days at the Shani Davis 1 , 0 0 0 - m e t e r World Cup long track event at the Utah Olympic Oval. To come out here and be able to
compete and ght again ... Im really looking forward to the next two years leading up to the Olympics, Davis said. He nished in 1 minute, 7.69 seconds Sunday to edge Stefan Groothuis of The Netherlands (1:07.94). Finlands Pekka Koskela took bronze (1:08.17). On Saturday, Davis won his rst individual medal of the World Cup season when he nished the 1,000 in 1:07.20. Todays race was better techni-
cally, Davis said. I felt better rhythm. My speed wasnt as fast but it felt better technically and I felt more in tune with my skating. Yesterday I was a little sloppy, but thats coming from a perfectionist. Now his sights are set on the World Sprint Championships in Calgary next weekend. Ive done it before but that was 3-4 years ago, Davis said. I still have a lot of ght in my heart and want to go out there and do my best.
He knows he can put together two good 1,000s and perhaps a 500, but it takes four solid races to win. After this weekend, Davis will be among the favorites for the men. For the women, it will be Canadas Christine Nesbitt, who is unbeaten at 1,000 meters in World Cup races this season, including a season-best 1:13.36 on Saturday. She skipped Sunday completely to gear up for Calgary.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. With Rice a nonfactor, Baltimore had to rely on Flacco, and he delivered one of his best performances. Flacco has led the Ravens into the playoffs in all four of his pro seasons, but not to the Super Bowl. He was 22 for 36 for 306 yards and touchdowns of 6 yards to Dennis Pitta and 29 to rookie Torrey Smith. The loss hardly could be blamed on Flacco. Operating against a maligned secondary missing its top cornerback, Kyle Arrington, who left in the second quarter with an eye injury, Flacco gave Baltimore its rst lead. His short pass on third down to explosive receiver Smith turned into a 29-yard scamper down the right sideline after Moore completely whiffed on the tackle. Danny Woodheads fumble on the ensuing kickoff set up Baltimore at the Patriots 28, but a third-down sack forced Cundiff to kick a 39yard eld goal, making it 20-16. New England didnt inch. American Tucker Fredricks took the overall lead in the World Cup 500-meter mens standings after claiming bronze for the second straight day. Russias Dmitry Lobkov, who had done no better than eighth in the event all season, won gold in 34.54 seconds. Japans Keiichiro Nagashima took silver in 34.57 seconds, while Fredricks nished in 34.60. Fredricks is peaking at the right time after a miserable start to the season. He nished 17th in his rst race in Russia. The two-time Olympian acknowledged Sunday he was nervous. Having a guy go down a couple pairs before kind of spooked me out a little bit, and spooked some other guys out, too, said Fredricks, who was warming up on the ice when Jesper Hospes crashed right behind him in the third pairing.

mates. Brady needed help not only from Cundiffs botched kick in guiding the Patriots (15-3) to their fth AFC title in 11 seasons, but from New Englands maligned defense. The Patriots shut down Ray Rice, the leagues total yardage leader, who was limited to 78 yards. Brandon Spikes made a fourthquarter interception of Joe Flacco, who played well before that and threw for two touchdowns. And when the Ravens (13-5) were threatening to score a late touchdown to win their rst conference title in 11 years, New England clamped down. Its two great football teams, two gladiators, I guess, just kind of going at each other at the end, and Im proud of our guys,

Alabamas Paul Bear Bryant, who died less than a month after retiring. Quit coaching? Bryant said late in his career. Id croak in a week. Paterno alluded to the remark made by his friend and rival, saying in 2003: There isnt anything in my life anymore except my family and my football. I think about it all the time. The winningest coach in major college football, Paterno roamed the Penn State sidelines for 46 seasons, his thick-rimmed glasses, windbreaker and jet-black sneakers as familiar as the Nittany Lions blue and white uniforms. His devotion to what he called Success with Honor made Paternos fall all the more startling. Happy Valley seemed perfect for him, a place where JoePa knew best, where he not only won more football games than any other major college coach, but won them the right way. With Paterno, character came first, championships second, academics before athletics. He insisted that on-eld success not come at the expense of graduation rates. But in the middle of his nal season, the legend was shattered. Paterno was engulfed in a child sex abuse scandal when a former trusted assistant, Jerry Sandusky, was accused of molesting 10 boys over a 15-year span, sometimes in the football building. Outrage built quickly after the states top law enforcement ofcial said the coach hadnt fullled a moral obligation to go to authorities when a graduate assistant, Mike McQueary, reported seeing Sandusky with a young boy in the showers of the football complex in 2002.

After evaluating where she was, we felt and she felt condent that things were in place for one of the priority competitions of the year, Canada coach Mark Wild said. With Nesbitt sitting out, the Dutch nished 1-2 in the womens 1,000, with Laurine van Riessen (1:14.21) edging Marrit Leenstra (1:14.41). Germanys Monique Angermuller (1:14.83) won bronze. Earlier Sunday, Lee Sang-hwa of South Korea won her second straight gold in the womens 500 in 27.27 seconds, topping Chinas Jing Yu (37.51) and Germanys Jenny Wolf (37.62).
McQueary said that he had seen Sandusky attacking the child with his hands around the boys waist but said he wasnt 100 percent sure it was intercourse. McQueary described Paterno as shocked and saddened and said the coach told him he had done the right thing by reporting the encounter. Paterno waited a day before alerting school ofcials and never went to the police. I didnt know which way to go ... and rather than get in there and make a mistake, Paterno told The Washington Post in an interview nine days before his death. You know, (McQueary) didnt want to get specic, Paterno said. And to be frank with you I dont know that it would have done any good, because I never heard of, of, rape and a man. So I just did what I thought was best. I talked to people that I thought would be, if there was a problem, that would be following up on it. When the scandal broke in November, Paterno said he would retire following the 2011 season. He also said he was absolutely devastated by the abuse case. This is a tragedy, he said. It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benet of hindsight, I wish I had done more. But the university trustees red Paterno, effective immediately. Graham Spanier, one of the longest-serving university presidents in the nation, also was red. Paterno was notied by phone, not in person, a decision that board vice chairman John Surma regretted, trustees said. Lanny Davis, the attorney retained by trustees as an adviser, said Surma intended to extend his regrets over the phone before Paterno hung up him. After weeks of escalating criticism by some former players and alumni about a lack of transparency, trustees last week said they red Paterno in part because he failed a moral obligation to do more in reporting the 2002 allegation.

MELBOURNE, Australia The crowd was still buzzing about the comeback victory by Aussie Kim Clijsters, and the fans dressed in canary yellow were now in full voice for another one of their own. Then along came Roger Federer to atten their hopes. Federer has won four of his record 16 Grand Slam singles titles on Rod Laver Arena, and on Sunday night he more or less held a clinic a 64, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Bernard Tomic to reach the quarternals for a 31st consecutive major. He played the 19-year-old Aussie at his own game, but raised it a level: mixing soft, angled drop shots that just cleared the net with crisp groundstrokes that hit the lines and for good measure a leaping, backhand overhead. It was like boxing in the beginning. You dont want to take too many chances, Federer said, explaining why there werent any service breaks until the ninth game,
when he produced two drop shots for winners with Tomic stranded in the backcourt. Had one game when I was starting to feel better, next thing you know Im up a break. Maybe I broke his will there a bit. Federers quarternal will be his 1,000th tour-level match. He plays 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro, whom he once expected to rise to No. 1. Clijsters, the defending champion, won despite limping on a badly sprained left ankle. She saved four match points in a tiebreaker en route to her 4-6, 7-6 (6), 6-4 win in a rematch of the 2011 nal against Li Na. That put the four-time Grand Slam winner on course for a quarternal against Caroline Wozniacki, who has held the year-end No. 1 ranking the last two seasons without winning a major. Wozniacki is desperate to end her Grand Slam title drought, and improved her credentials marginally with a 6-0, 7-5 win over former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic in the last match Sunday night.

U.S.advances with rout of Guatemala

By Joseph White
VANCOUVER, British Columbia Abby Wambach scored twice in the rst half to move into third on the career goals list for womens international soccer, and the United States beat Guatemala 13-0 on Sunday to clinch a berth in the seminals of the CONCACAF qualifying tournament for the London Olympics. A left-foot tap in the 12th minute and a header in the 14th gave Wambach 129 career goals for the U.S. team, moving her past Germanys Birgit Prinz (128) and behind only Mia Hamm (158) and Kristine Lilly (130). The only active player in Wambachs range is Canadas Christine Sinclair with 125 including ve in this tournament. The 31-year-old strikers exploits along with those of newcomer Sydney Leroux added some meaning to another suspense-free rout for the Americans, who have outscored their opponents 27-0 over two games as they attempt to earn one of two berths available for the Summer Games.
REUTERS
Abby Wambach of the U.S. heads the ball to score her second goal as Guatemala's Shannon Brooks (R) tries to stop her during the rst half of their CONCACAF womens Olympic qualifying soccer match in Vancouver,British Columbia Sunday.
Leroux, earning only her second international cap, scored ve goals as Wambachs halftime substitute tying the U.S. record for most in a game. The record is shared by Wambach, Brandi Chastain, Michelle Akers, Tiffeny Milbrett and Amy Rodriguez. The size of the Americans victories including the record-setting 14-0 win over the Dominican Republic on Friday has hardly looked sportsmanlike, but the team is wary about any and all qualifying matches after stumbling against Mexico in a World Cup qualier in late 2010. That loss forced the U.S., the top-ranked team in the world, into a playoff just to get into the World Cup in Germany, and coach Pia Sundhage and her players have made their theme to take nothing for granted this time around. The wins have provided the Americans a comfortable goal-differential cushion that will allow them to win their group even if they tie their nal group game, a muchanticipated rematch against Mexico on Tuesday. The Mexicans have outscored their opponents 12-0 after two games, including a 7-0 win over
the Dominican Republic on Sunday. Sundays games capped four days of noncompetitive soccer, with the top four teams at the tournament outscoring the bottom four by a combined score of 51-0. Now come the matchups that truly matter: Canada-Costa Rica on Monday, followed by U.S.-Mexico the next day to determine the winners of the respective groups and the matchups for the do-or-die seminals that will produce the two teams headed to London. Looking to rest some of her top players for the upcoming games, Sundhage made six changes to the starting lineup from the win over the Dominican Republic. One of the changes, of course, involved defender Ali Krieger, who injured her right knee against the Dominicans and is likely out for the Olympics. Heather Mitts started in Kriegers familiar spot at right back, and U.S. fans who made the trip across the border chanted Al-ee Kree-ger before kickoff. Wambachs goals looked effortless against an overmatched Guatemalan team that routinely left players unmarked in the box.
Dominican Rep.loses 7-0 Irish upsets No. 1 Syracuse to Mexico in Oly qualifying
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VANCOUVER, British Columbia Anisa Guajardo had a secondhalf hat trick Sunday as Mexico beat the Dominican Republic 7-0 in the CONCACAF qualifying tournament for the London Olympics. Guajardo scored in the 49th, 62nd and 75th minutes for the Mexicans, who improved to 2-0 in the eightteam tournament. Rosario Saucedo scored in the 21st minute, Marylin Diaz in the 27th, and Jennifer Ruiz
in the 38th and 71st. Mexico wraps up group play against the United States on Tuesday in a game that likely will determine rst place in their group. Looking to keep its players fresh for the U.S. game and the seminals, Mexico made nine changes to the starting lineup that beat Guatemala on Friday. The Dominicans, who lost 14-0 to the U.S. on Friday, have been outscored 21-0 in the tournament.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Mike Breys viewing selection for his players the night before meeting topranked Syracuse was an easy choice. The Notre Dame coach showed a video of former Irish teams upsetting No. 1 teams over the years. Brey and the current group of Irish now have their own spot in that collection. Jack Cooley had 17 points and 10 rebounds against a Syracuse team missing its shot-blocking, rebounding center Fab Melo and the Irish surprised the top-ranked and previ-
ously unbeaten Orange 67-58 on Saturday night. Fans stormed the court after the Irishs rousing victory, hoisting players on their shoulders in a wild scene at the Purcell Pavilion. It was the eighth time Notre Dame has beaten a No. 1 team that ties for fourthmost all-time, with North Carolina having the most with 12. Notre Dame has an unbelievable history against No. 1 teams, Irish forward Scott Martin said. We saw a little video to just kind of pump us up a little bit. Cooley was certainly inspired. Without Melo in the middle, Notre
Dames 6-foot-9, 248-pound center was a major force as the Irish won the rebound battle 38-25. I cant even describe this right now. They were 20-0. I cant put it to words how amazing this is, Cooley said. We came out with energy. This was a great opportunity and we didnt want to squander it. Melo had started all 20 of the Oranges rst games, was their leading rebounder with 5.7 a game, averaged 7.2 points and three blocks. School ofcials gave no explanation why the talented center did not make the trip. He will also miss Mondays game against Cincinnati.

kneel to get Lawrence Tynes into position for the eld goal that won the game 20-17. But it felt nearly as good as any touchdown pass he will ever throw. Just a hard fought game, Manning said. Im excited about this win, excited to have another chance to go to the Super Bowl. Hopefully, excited about facing the Patriots again, too. They were the opponents the only other time Manning was in a Super Bowl, where he led the Giants to a late comeback against a heavily favored opponent enjoying a perfect season. That won him respect. A second Super Bowl win in four years might someday put him in the Hall of Fame. Not that any of it was on the mind of Manning and his teammates as they celebrated on a soggy field after Tyness 31-yarder went through the uprights. They were just ready to celebrate, after yet another road win put them on the road to Indianapolis. Hakeem Nicks gleefully held up a copy of a New York tabloid declaring his team Super Bowl-bound. Tynes hugged his crying wife, while his teammates were busy hugging each other. Manning watched it all, with a smile that never left his face. We just kept believing, ghting until the end, he said. It wasnt like Manning didnt have a decent day. He completed 32 of 58 REUTERS passes for 316 yards and two touchSan Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbough reacts to a call during play against the New York Giants in the fourth quarter of the NFL NFC downs, numbers that were more than Championship game in San Francisco Sunday. serviceable under the conditions.
NINERS
had a plus-28 turnover margin in the regular season. They took advantage of ve New Orleans turnovers to win 36-32 last week but were on the wrong end in this game because of Williams. Williams, the son of Chicago White Sox general manager Ken Williams, did not look smooth elding punts after doing it just twice in the regular season. He made a dangerous, sliding catch on one return and called a fair catch on another with room to run. He then made his rst big miscue
after San Francisco forced a punt early in the fourth quarter while protecting a 14-10 lead. Steve Weatherford hit a short, bouncing punt that Williams came up to try to eld. He backed away at the last minute, but the ball glanced off his right knee and was recovered by Devin Thomas at the San Francisco 29. The play was originally not ruled a fumble but was overturned by instant replay. Six plays later, Eli Manning threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Mario Manningham, who beat backup cornerback Tramaine Brock on third-and-15. Brock was playing in place of starter Tarell Brown, who left late in the third quarter after a violent collision with team-
mate Dashon Goldson. Williams helped atone for his miscue when he returned the kickoff 40 yards to help set up David Akers tying eld goal late in regulation. But on his second return in overtime, Williams gave the ball away again. He elded the punt at the 19 and was stripped by Jacquian Williams. Thomas once again pounced on the ball at the 24, setting up the Giants winning kick and ending San Franciscos most successful season in years. Harbaugh got the Niners to the brink of the Super Bowl in his rst season, taking over a 6-10 team and going 13-3 to win the NFC West. The ability to protect the ball and
cause turnovers was the biggest reason for the turnaround. But the Niners forced no turnovers by the Giants and were done in by Williams costly giveaways. The Niners really did miss Ginn, who injured his right knee in last weeks thrilling 36-32 win over New Orleans. San Francisco was already thin at receiver after releasing Braylon Edwards late in the regular season and was unable to get anything out of its wideouts this game. San Franciscos wide receivers had just one catch all game a 3yarder by Michael Crabtree on a third-and-5 play before Akers tying eld goal with 5:39 left in
regulation. The bulk of San Franciscos offense came on two big passes from Alex Smith to Vernon Davis. They connected on a 73-yarder to open the scoring in the rst quarter and a 28-yarder to take a 14-10 lead in the third. That wasnt quite enough on this day. So now instead of the 49ers coach taking on his brother, John, in the Superbaugh in Indianapolis in two weeks, the Harbaughs will be watching the big game in part because of special teams. Johns Ravens fell earlier in the day to New England 23-20 when Billy Cundiff pushed a 32-yard eld goal attempt wide left in the closing seconds of the AFC title game.

Underworld Awakening made an estimated $25.4, distributor Sony Screen Gems reported Sunday. This is the fourth lm in the vampire action saga. Beckinsale starred in the rst two movies as the warrior Selene, then bowed out of part three but returned for this latest installment. Underworld Awakening was shown for the rst time in 3-D as well as on IMAX screens, where it made $3.8 million. Thats 15 percent of the lms weekend gross, which is a record for an IMAX digital-only run. Sony had hoped the lm would end
up in the low-$20 million range. But Rory Bruer, the studios president of worldwide distribution, says the fact that it did even better despite a snow storm that hit much of the Midwest and East Coast primarily has to do with Beckinsales return. She is such a force. Her character you just cant take your eyes off of her. I know the character is very dear to her, as well, and she just kills it, Bruer said. The 3-D aspect of the lm also brings something, makes it a fun, visceral ride. Opening in second place was Red Tails from executive producer George Lucas, about the Tuskegee Airmen who were the rst black ghter pilots to serve in World War II. It made an estimated $19.1 million, according to 20th Century Fox, which was well above expectations;
the studio had hoped to reach double digits, said Chris Aronson, executive vice president of domestic distribution. I believe what George Lucas has stated all along: This is an important story and a story that must be told. It is a true story of American heroism and valor and audiences have really responded to this message, Aronson said. People want to feel good about themselves, they want to be uplifted. We have enough hard crud going on in this country right now. Times are tough, and if we look back and are told a story of some really fantastic deeds, thats really compelling moviegoing. Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian said a grass-roots effort to get groups of people into the theaters to see Red Tails, along
with positive word-of-mouth, helped its strong showing. The lm saw an uptick from about $6 million on Friday to $8.65 on Saturday. Overall box ofce is up 31 percent from the same weekend a year ago, Dergarabedian said, thanks to new releases as well as movies like Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, which had limited runs for awards consideration at the end of 2011 and are now expanding nationwide. The 9/11 drama from Warner Bros., starring Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock, came in fourth place with $10.5 million. Last weeks No. 1 lm, the Universal smuggling thriller Contraband starring Mark Wahlberg, dropped to the No. 3 spot with $12.2 million. Its now made $46.1 million in two weeks.

Underworld Awakening, $25.4 million ($13.4 million international). 2.Red Tails,$19.1 million. 3.Contraband,$12.2 million. 4.Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close,$10.5 million. 5.Haywire,$9 million. 6.Beauty and the Beast (3-D), $8.6 million. 7.Joyful Noise,$6.1 million. 8.Mission:Impossible Ghost Protocol,$5.5 million.($9.4 million international). 9.Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows,$4.8 million. 10.The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,$3.75 million
few years back, I quoted a study which said two out of three veterinarians (in a group of 600) recom-
mended keeping cats indoors. I hope one third have retired or changed careers! Cats allowed to roam outdoors can be struck by vehicles, attacked by wildlife, dogs or other cats and can ingest poisons. They also pose a risk to birds. This past year, more than 400 injured birds and small mammals ended up in our Wildlife Rescue Center after having suffered encounters with cats. And, sadly, our ofcers picked up almost 3,200 dead animals in 2011; several hundred were domestic cats. I dont want to make this about what you shouldnt do. If youve been considering keeping your cat indoors, but think they will miss being outside, consider these tips for bringing the outdoors inside.
Give your cats plenty of climbing options, either shelves made exclusively for cats enjoyment (check out the cat climbers at www.mountaincatclimbers.com), or, if youre handy, homemade ones. Shelves from IKEA lined with carpet scraps will do the job. Some cat owners create an entire cat lane in the sky with shelves and wallmounting steps across large rooms and from one room to another. Recently, Ive been seeing more catios. These are large outdoor cage enclosures ush against the house with an opening from the house to the enclosure. A similar style has a free-standing cage connected to the home with a small tube or tunnel that snaps to a window with a
weather-proof insert. A simpler play zone is waiting in your (empty) bathtub. Give kitty a ping pong ball and watch her zoom, skip and jump in the tub. And, if you want to get in on the fun, try play sessions with shingpole type toys. Laser pointers are good, too. But, remember, if your cat can never catch the item, that will be frustrating.

The Artistsilent but golden at producer awards

LOS ANGELES The Artist followed its Golden Globe win by taking top honors at the Producers Guild Awards on Saturday, as the silent lm continues its unlikely run toward Oscar night. Producer Thomas Langmann received the award handed out at the Beverly Hilton by the Producers Guild of America, as The Artist beat out George Clooneys family drama and another Oscar favorite,
The Descendants. The Artist won best musical or comedy at Sundays Golden Globes and The Descendants won best drama along with a best actor nod for Clooney, making the movies likely rivals for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. The other nominees in the movie category were War Horse, The Help, Bridesmaids, Hugo, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Midnight in Paris, Moneyball and another Clooney movie, The
Ides of March. Along with honors from other Hollywood professional groups such as actors, directors and writers guilds, the producer prizes have become part of the preseason sorting out contenders for the Oscars, whose nominations come out Jan. 24.

they relocated to San Carlos. Her introduction to San Carlos was a mass kindergarten overenrollment at White Oaks Elementary. She was at the next board meeting. That shaped my experience more than anything. I thought the board handled it professionally and thoughtfully, she said. Since then, Elliott has become very involved as an active volunteer with the district and neighboring Sequoia Union High School District for the past 10 years. Shes served as site manager, on various Parent Teacher Associations, on the San Carlos Education Foundation, Sequoia High School Education Foundation and on the Spring Fling Advisory Board for two years. Clearly, her children were a reason to remain involved. However, Elliott also enjoyed the people with whom she was working. Helping with the education foundation, when the foundation as new, was akin to working at a startup, she said. It also allowed Elliott to use her professional experience as a volunteer. Choosing Elliott came down to experience. Trustee Adam Rak, who recently joined the board after the November election, felt Elliott brought a lot of experience in terms of working with the district; she has put in time to help at the school level and districtwide, giving her a history of the district along with good ideas for the future, he said. Board President Seth Rosenblatt idea. Four of those nine think they need 30 to 60 days to transition to new containers while four others want 90 days or more. Based on the results, Assistant City Manager Brian Moura recommends a six-month transition time if the council ultimately approves the prohibition. Olbert said he also wants to learn more about how vendors qualify for exemptions like those given by the county to businesses at San Francisco International Airport. In San Mateo County so far, the cities of Millbrae, South San Francisco, Pacifica and San Bruno have their own polystyrene bans. The Peninsula Principal Donald Scatena outlined the schools unique program to be included in the conversation. While either building on a districtowned site or a new location could work, Scatena simply wanted the design to meet the program needs to support students. At the direction of the board, district staff will widen the search for possible locations for the school both on district-owned property and new property. Griffin even suggested looking at the previous home to Bay Meadows as a consideration. Trustee Marc Friedman also requested a more detailed look at the Measure O funds what has been spent and the estimated price for the remaining projects. While a home for Peninsula took top priority, other projects were considered. A new district office, for example, has been on the construction to-do list for years. The board was open to looking at purchasing a site for the district office, a need currently budgeted to cost about $20 million, said Todd Lee, construction manager from Greystone West working with the district. The number would be for building a new facility but could be less should the district opt to purchase and retrofit an existing building an idea welcomed by the board. Friedman suggested reaching out to neighboring Burlingame Elementary School District during the search. Burlingame has also considered updating its district office. Friedman noted the two agreed. Rosenblatt previously worked with Elliott on the foundation and said hes always been impressed by Elliotts ability to consider the big picture. One thing Elliott enjoys is using data for decisions. Looking at the districts current challenges, she anticipates using those while dealing with the capacity issues. Elliott has questions about demographic projections and is interested in talking with Realtors about turnover of homes. On the smaller side, Elliott has an interest in pursuing the conversation about 21st century learning. Deciding what that will look like could shape the districts space and facility conversations. Elliott also hopes to continue the districts tradition of being quite responsive with the community and being sure that their voice is heard. In addition to serving on the board, Elliott currently serves as the vice president of students services for the Central Middle School PTA and on the Sequoia High School Foundation Board. Shell be checking to see if keeping those positions will be a conflict with serving on the school board. When not working with local schools, Elliott enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, skiing when theres snow, and doing creative things with photographs and scrapbooks.

BOARD
tion. The other new school board trustee is Kathleen Farley. Elliott, 44, has lived in San Carlos for about 10 years with her husband of nearly 20 years, Steve, and their two children. Elliott grew up loving books, and with a desire to work abroad which she did while in college. She attended the University of California at Los Angeles where she earned a degree in political science with a business minor. It was while at UCLA that she met Steve through friends on a blind date. Graduating into the recession of the early 90s, opportunities were limited. Elliott ended up working in Los Angeles City Hall as branch director of the in-house volunteer program. After about two years in that role, and as a newlywed, Elliott moved to Connecticut while Steve finished business school at Yale University. The pair stayed in Connecticut for five years during which time Elliott worked as the executive director of the Volunteer Center of Greater Bridgeport. Going back to California was always in the cards. Steve Elliott had an opportunity in San Mateo, which moved the family to the same city for a handful of years. Just before their oldest child was to start kindergarten,

BAN
something he saw firsthand recently while participating in a cleanup of the Highway 101 interchange. Ive never been a huge fan of the stuff and would love to see a reasonable approach taken to minimize the amount interjected into the environment, Olbert said. A survey mailed out to San Carlos restaurants found that 18 of the 23 favored a ban and six of the nine now using polystyrene also backed the
county wants its cities to follow their polystyrene ban to encourage uniformity which is why it offered to have environmental health inspectors help with the creation and enforcement. Foster City, Half Moon Bay and Burlingame have already gone this route and Belmont and Redwood City are taking it under consideration. The San Carlos City Council meets 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 23 at City Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.

HOME
Finding a new home for the school has always had a couple goals: Move it to a central location thats accessible to transportation. Currently located at the former Crestmoor High School site in San Bruno, the school is in the hills and often cited as being difficult for students to reach. Board President Robert Griffin and Vice President Peter Hanley favored placing the school on district-owned land noting previously lawsuits related to environmental reports were costly in terms of money and time. Trustee Stephen Rogers wanted the district to look at all options from placing the school on unused portions of Hillsdale High School to building a smaller school on the Crestmoor property. The latter idea, he noted, could save the district money that could be put into a trust for transportation to and from the site. A conceptual proposal to move Peninsula on to San Mateo High Schools campus isnt an easy one. It includes moving the district office to where is not yet known; shifting the adult school and building Peninsula on the adult schools current location. While possible, the idea raised a number of concerns including reducing the open space, putting more people on a crowded parcel and worsening an already bad traffic situation.
could possible share a facility and save costs. Growing enrollment is a long-term challenge for the district as well. Elementary districts feeding into San Mateo Union are seeing an increase in the number of students. McManus is expecting the largest increases at the campuses in San Mateo and Burlingame. Renovating buildings at Burlingame and San Mateo high schools are options for Measure O funds as is a brand-new building on Hillsdale. That would allow the school to grow its small learning communities program. Smaller projects like upgrading aging technology, replacing bleachers, installing artificial turf at Mills and Capuchino high schools, and electrical panels at Capuchino are also on the horizon. Another aspect to this conversation, which wasnt widely explored at the special meeting, is the Crestmoor High School site which was previously deemed to be unused or unneeded land for educational purposes. The decision opens up the option to sell the property, a move San Bruno residents have widely criticized. With a bad real estate market, the board has put off making decisions for a while since its not the best time to sell property. Additional information will be brought back to the district at a future meeting before the board .

Yemens president leaves,hands over power

SANAA, Yemen Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh left his battered nation Sunday on his way to the U.S. for medical treatment after passing power to his deputy and asking for forgiveness for any shortcomings during his 33-year rein. But in a sign that Salehs role as Yemens top power broker is likely far from over, he said he would return to Yemen before the ofcial power transfer next month to serve as the head of his ruling party. Salehs departure marks a small achievement in the months of diplomatic efforts by the U.S. and Yemens powerful Gulf neighbors to ease the nearly year-old political crisis in the Arab worlds poorest country. An active al-Qaida branch there has taken advantage of the turmoil, stepping up operations and seizing territory. After months of diplomatic pressure and mass protests calling for
REUTERS
Yemens outgoing President Ali Abdullah Saleh speaks to a selected group of state media reporters at the Presidential Palace in Sanaa.Saleh said Sunday he would leave for medical treatment in the United States and return to continue leading the ruling party, but gave no indication of when he would leave the troubled country.
associates obtained a franchise to run horse drawn cars from the Ferry Building (on Market Street) to Valencia Street. This (Market Street Railroad) line was acquired by the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad in the late 1860s (the SF & SJ RR was then acquired by the Southern Pacic RR.) and trains were used to pull the cars along Market Street. In 1882, this railway was purchased by Charles Crocker, Henry Huntington and
his ouster, Saleh signed a deal in November to transfer authority to his vice president in exchange for immunity from prosecution. Still, Saleh continued to exercise power behind the scenes, sparking accusations he sought to scuttle the deal and cling to power. His departure could help the deal go forward. Presidential spokesman Ahmed al-Sou told The Associated Press that Saleh left Yemens capital Sanaa late Sunday on a plane headed for the Gulf sultanate of Oman. He did not say how long Saleh would remain there, but added that he would make another stop before heading to the United States of America. A senior administration ofcial said Ali Abdullah Saleh would travel to New York this week, and probably stay in the U.S. until no later than the end of February. U.S. officials believe Salehs exit from Yemen could lower the risk of disruptions in the lead-up to presidential elections
planned there on Feb. 21. The Obama administration faced a dilemma in deciding whether to let Saleh enter the U.S. after he requested a visa last month. It has long seen getting Saleh out of Yemen as an important step in ensuring the power transfer goes forward. But some in the administration worried that welcoming Saleh would spark charges from the Arab world that the U.S. was harboring an autocrat responsible for deadly crackdowns on protesters. To protect against this, the administration has sought assurances that Saleh will not seek to remain in the U.S. An ofcial close to Saleh said Sunday the president would undergo medical exams in Oman before heading to the U.S. The U.S. has forbidden him from any political activity in the U.S., the ofcial said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorize to disclose diplomatic talks.
HISTORY
increased. A rush to obtain franchises and transport passengers to the western section of San Francisco began. In 1860, Thomas Hayes (Hayes Valley) and
Leland Stanford members of the SPRR. and renamed the Market Street Cable Railway. Their aggressive tactics led to a two line franchises being developed to Golden Gate Park (just south of the cemeteries and the Richmond District) along Haight Street and McAllister Street (to Masonic Cemetery area). The hills had been conquered by a number of trolleys and cable cars now and this trend to settle the previously inaccessible western lands would eventually push the orig-
inal settlement of Yerba Buena over the 49 square miles of San Francisco. I thank my friend, Leroy Spahn, formally of the MUNI of San Francisco, for his help in researching this article.
