City looks to ban bad items


San Carlos may follow countys lead or go its own way when dealing with plastic bags,polystyrene
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Call it the city of green living. Days look numbered for both plastic bags and polystyrene food containers in San Carlos with the City Council Monday night taking up possible bans on both. The question seems to be not so much if the city will prohibit the use but whether it will go it alone with individual ordinances or emulate

prohibitions drafted by the county. San Mateo County has already implemented its ban on food containers made of polystyrene, better known as the trademark Styrofoam, so joining in doesnt require that much effort. However, although county ofcials appear in favor of banning or limiting the use of plastic bags, the Board of Supervisors is still considering its options and has yet to put anything ofcially on the books.

Proponents have said they want more information first including gauging the interest of cities in launching a wider spread joint effort. Joining the county in that effort will require a little patience. The timing is the main factor on whether to move ahead or wait for the county, said San Carlos Mayor Andy Klein who wants a ban on both bags and polystyrene. I am in favor of using a county ordinance if they can get other cities

to join in a timely fashion. If the county is going to take a long time, then I would like to see us go alone. It all really comes down to how much time the Andy Klein county is going to take, Klein said. The countys efforts are currently

estimated to take roughly a year, allowing cities to consider it early next year. Councilman Ron Collins generally favors a ban but said he still needs answers on what will be banned and in what places. I dont know what the rush is, Collins said. Collins also wants to hear from opponents and understand all the

Contest allows San Bruno couple to wed in New York on Valentines Day

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Redwood City ofcials will consider opening up a library parking lot to the public with metered spots, adding nearly three dozen more highly-sought spaces to its downtown stock and potentially raising another $37,000 annually. Redwood Citys downtown events and businesses have proven so popular that parking spaces are in high demand. One of the library parking lots known as Lot C is currently only open to city eet vehicles, city staff and permit holders. On Monday night, Community Development Director Bill Ekern and City Manager Bob Bell will ask the City Council to consider incorporating the lot into the citys pay-by-space meter system like those in adjacent library Lot B. Doing so will make 33 spaces available to the general public while another 14 will remain designated for library staff. Separating Pennsylvania Avenue from Lot C and also adding it to the meter zone is another suggestion aimed at improving the

When a third grade girl started choking at Gareld Elementary in Redwood City earlier this month, custodian Luis Hinestroza was there to help. During lunch Friday, Feb. 3, the girl began to choke, Principal Michelle Grifth said. Quickly, one of the children got assistance. The little girl wasnt able to cough, was struggling to breathe and Hinestroza was there to administer the Heimlich maneuver. Four pushes later, the meat and bread were dislodged, said Grifth. He thought so quickly and did not even hesitate, Grifth said.

1861

Abraham Lincoln was officially declared winner of the 1860 presidential election as electors cast their ballots. In 1542, the fth wife of Englands King Henry VIII, Catherine Howard, was executed for adultery. In 1741, Andrew Bradford of Pennsylvania published the rst American magazine.

Church where Whitney Houston rst sang remembers her
NEWARK, N.J. Congregants at the Newark church where Whitney Houston got her start came together Sunday to mourn her sudden death. Houston, 48, died Saturday at a Beverly Hills, Calif., hotel, authorities said. The cause wasnt known, her publicist said. The pop star began singing at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark as a child. And while parishioners had fond memories of her many performances there over the years, they said her and her familys longtime membership and service to the church is what they will never forget. Houston was born in Newark and raised in East Orange, and many said she never forgot her Jersey roots. Her mother, Grammy-award winning gospel singer Cissy Houston, had led the musical program at the 112-year-old church. Whitneys cousin, singer Dionne Warwick, also sang in its choir. The pastor asked us to support the Houston family, to share our love and Gods love with them and to give them strength in this sad time, said Shawn Cooper, 32, of Newark as he left an early morning service, which was only open to church members. I havent been a regular churchgoer, but felt I should be here today because this is a time for the community to come together, Cooper said, noting the church was full Sunday morning. The Houston family means a lot to this community, they have done a lot for this community, and being there for them is the best thing we can do as a community today. Several other parishioners voiced similar sentiments as they made their way into the church, ignoring the bitter cold temperatures and moderate to gusty winds. A few sympathy cards were tied to a fence post at the church, including one addressed to the greatest songstress ever. Next to it, a small bouquet of fresh owers uttered softly in the brisk morning air. Speaking outside the church before the service, New Hopes Pastor Joe Carter asked reporters gathered to respect the Houston familys privacy. The family shared Whitney with the world, but Whitney was a mother, a daughter, and a sister, and thats the focus we want to keep in front of everyone today. We ask that in this time of grief, you respect their privacy, Carter said. A former classmate at a Newark high school recalled Houston in a phone i n t e r v i ew as a sweet, bubbly yet unpretentious girl. Dr. Maria Pane said she attended Mount Saint Dominic Academy with Whitney Houston. The two had homeroom together as well as physical education, French and art. She was such a beautiful, kind girl and very quiet that to be honest with you, I had no idea there was a star in the making, said Pane, who now lives in Maryland. Pane said the two rode the bus together after school, and she remembered Whitneys favorite way to pass the time at the bus stop: practicing her dance routines. In a statement late Saturday night, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie called the singer a true New Jersey treasure who died too soon. Her terribly premature death is an awful loss for her family and the incredible New Jersey musical family. Her soaring talent put her in the pantheon of great New Jersey musical talents like Frank Sinatra, Count Basie and Bruce Springsteen. Our prayers are with her family. Some of Houstons fans came to the church Sunday as a way of dealing with their grief. Among them was Charice Crawford, a 34-year-old Irvington resident who said the singers music became the soundtrack to her life. This is where I needed to be this morning, said Crawford, who does not belong to the church. I understand why I couldnt attend the service, but being here helps ease the grief of her passing.

times the reward for taking this task. After eeing Missouri a wanted man, Wyatt surfaced in the frontier town that was a terminal for the cattle driven up from Texas. On April 21, 1875, Wyatt joined the Wichita marshals ofce where he received several public acclamations for his enforcement work. He was cool under re, determined, forceful, very seldom backed down from a confrontation when he could win and was well liked. On one occasion, he held off a mob of armed men and cowboys after an incident dealing with collecting for an unpaid piano in a brothel. This incident was one of many in which Wyatt settled potentially dangerous incidents peacefully. He was very skillful in calming rowdies and if he couldnt settle the event peacefully, he used the barrel of his long Buntline Special to subdue the man. He could become too excitable also and, in Wichita, his answer to a confrontation with a city ofcial was to use his sts. He left Wichita on April 2, 1876 and headed for the next cattle terminal Dodge City, Kan. His reputation continued to follow him to Tombstone, Ariz. after he left Dodge City on Sept. 9, 1878. When he left, he was accompanied by a former prostitute, Celia Anne Mattie Blaylock. When Wyatt arrived in the small settlement of Tombstone, law as we know it was almost nonexistent. There were many factions in the town that had aligned themselves to survive in this wilderness that was awash with silver from the abundant mines in this territory. Two newspapers were at odds with themselves, the cowboys (a derisive term) ran the town with the help of the Clanton and McLaury families

The Restless Lawman Wyatt Earp


yatt Earp was a restless man. He began life in the state of Illinois. He and his family lived in Iowa, then returned to Illinois, rode a wagon to California, took a job in Missouri before he left under a cloud of suspicion of horse thief and stealing, was lost for a while, took jobs in Kansas, traveled to Texas to gamble, returned to Kansas, then on to Tombstone, Arizona Territory, hid out in Colorado and nally returned to California. In all of these wanderings he, in just 30 seconds, built up a reputation that followed him to his grave. His father, Nicolas, became the peace ofcer while in Illinois (a municipal constable) and sold liquor on the side. After leaving Illinois in disgrace (and almost jail) he surfaced in Missouri in 1868 when Nicholas again became became the local constable. This time, he didnt bootleg liquor and became the justice of the peace. Wyatt became appointed constable in place of his father, however, he had learned so of the bad habits of his father and was accused of keeping money he had collected for the city as well as stealing a horse. He apparently felt comfortable doing these things as he did borderline and illegal activities the rest of his life. To put things in perspective, however, life in the

1800s was like living on the edge. The western part of the United States was just being settled and law enforcement and other familiar government activities we know today had yet to be established. A law enforcement ofcer (policeman, police chief, sheriff, constable, marshal, etc.) did not have the backing of laws and the community like we have now days. Anybody could be sheriff because the pay was dismally low, and to do your duty you had to form your own law and rules to gain the respect of a many times lawless community. It was a tough task for anyone and not many lawmen survived very long. Death was many

elected lieutenant governor in 2010 after a short-lived run for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination before he yielded to Brown. Harris, 47, nar- Kamala Harris rowly won election as Californias top law enforcement ofcer in 2010 after six years as San Francisco district attorney, beating Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley. She was a deputy district attorney in Alameda County from 1990 to 1998. The two have been cast as political rivals for a decade, rst in San Francisco, and now on a statewide stage, and draw much of their political strength from the same reservoir of voters and liberal causes. They also have the same political consultants. They were two of the most dynamic speakers amid a long stream of addresses by elected ofcials on Saturday, the busiest day of the Democratic Partys weekend convention in San Diego. Both drew an audience of more than 2,000 when they took the stage. Harris won the crowd over with a rousing speech just days after she announced Gavin Newsom that California had joined a nationwide settlement with the largest lenders over the foreclosure crisis. California, where the economy has been pummeled since the start of the recession, eventually stands to receive $18 billion from the terms of the settlement. That amount was far more than most observers had predicted the state would get and billions beyond what was initially on the table, Harris said. Newsom was among those who had urged her to seek a bigger piece of the pie for California. In her address to convention participants, Harris slammed what she called the faulty logic that says AIG was too big to fail, but a regular familys home is too triing to matter. In fact, Ill tell you whats too big to fail: I say its our middle class that is too big to fail, she said, bringing the crowd to its feet as she recited a too-big-to-fail list that included quality public education, health care and womens rights. California Democrats, when we pull together, we are too big to fail. The end of her speech was met with thunderous applause. Newsom also came into the weekend convention on a political high note, after the state Supreme Court ruled last week that Proposition 8, the 2010 voter-approved statewide measure banning gay marriage, was unconstitutional. Supporters are expected to challenge that decision, eventually to the U.S. Supreme Court. Newsom called the changing tide on gay marriage a generational call to action. Its about whats possible when we Democrats stand up on principle and move from I wish to I will, when we stop being well-behaved, biting our tongues, waiting our turn and stand up and ght for the things we believe in, regardless of the prevailing political winds, Newsom said to applause.

Occupy protesters jailed after march in Oakland


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CITY WELCOMES NEW FIREFIGHTERS

OAKLAND Police have arrested two Occupy Oakland protesters and are looking for a third suspect after a confrontation between the protesters and police Saturday night. The arrests came as a group of about 20 protesters confronted a California Highway Patrol officer after he made a traffic stop in an unrelated matter in the citys downtown around 11 p.m., Oakland police Sgt. Chris Bolton said. As Oakland ofcers assisted the CHP ofcer, a woman kicked an Oakland police sergeant, Bolton said. She was arrested on suspicion of battery on a peace ofcer and other charges. As she was being taken into cus-

tody, police arrested a man they say tried to pull her from arresting ofcers. He was booked on suspicion of attempting to unlawfully intervene. Their names have not been released. During the confrontation, a protester also hit the Oakland police sergeant in the head with a protest sign and ran from the area, Bolton said. The sergeant wasnt injured. Saturdays protest started earlier in the evening with a group of about 75 people marching as part of a weekly march over what organizers say is police brutality. The arrests Saturday comes two weeks after police arrested more than 400 people when a midday march escalated into a clash between some rock-throwing protesters and police who responded with tear gas.

HISTORY
Continued from page 1
and they had the backing of Sheriff Johnny Behan. The Clanton boys were rustlers who stole cattle from Mexico and sold them in the United States. They also stole cattle from within the Arizona Territory and sold them in Mexico. The government in Tombstone was weak and the citizens felt threatened by the cowboys. This climate ended in the most famous shootout in U.S. history the gunght at the O.K. Corral in which 30 seconds of gun play established Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday and the Earp brothers, Virgil and Morgan, as the heroes of law enforcement. Unfortunately, the outcome kindled a reaction that Wyatt could not understand the rest of his life. He was tried for murder due to his part of the gunplay, was acquitted and freed, but eventually lost a brother who was killed by one of the Clanton clan. Ike Clanton was acquitted and freed and the Earps unleashed their form of family justice that ended in many deaths and the necessary exit of Wyatt to the state of Colorado before he could be arrested. Wyatt eventually settled in California. The Earp home in Colton, Calif. (near Riverside) became a stop for Wyatt but he moved on to renew an acquaintance with the former mis-

tress of the Tombstone sheriff, Josephine Sarah Marcus, who lived in San Francisco. This friendship lasted almost 50 years as they continued to move about the west California, Alaska, Utah mainly never settling down very long. Wyatt ran gambling dens, bars, worked real estate, refereed boxing matches but never again became a law man. He nally settled down in Los Angles and became a movie addict. He met many of the big cowboy stars John Wayne, William S. Hart, Tom Mix and many others. Wyatt longed to have a movie made of his life as he felt he had helped establish law in the West when no law had existed. The producers, however, were reluctant to tackle the lm. At the end of his life, a reporter captured Wyatts life in hundreds of hours of interviews and in a book immortalized the life of Wyatt Earp. When Wyatt died Jan. 13, 1929 in Los Angeles, Wyatts life had not yet reached the multitude of movie goers that were yet to experience the Wild West as Wyatt Earp had experienced it. Wyatt was buried in the Marcus family plot at the Hills of Eternity cemetery in Colma, Calif. His Jewish wife, Josephine, was buried next to him when she died in 1944.

U.S. seeks to mine social media to predict future
SAN FRANCISCO The U.S. government is seeking software that can mine social media to predict everything from future terrorist attacks to foreign uprisings, according to requests posted online by federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Hundreds of intelligence analysts already sift overseas Twitter and Facebook posts to track events such as the Arab Spring. But in a formal request for information from potential contractors, the FBI recently outlined its desire for a digital tool to scan the entire universe of social media more data than humans could ever crunch.

WASHINGTON Conserv-atives said Sunday the ap surrounding President Barack Obamas birth control mandate was far from over, with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell saying hell push to overturn the requirement because it was another example of government meddling. While a senior White House ofcial shrugged off such remarks, declaring the issue resolved and new legislation Mitch unlikely, the heated rhetoric from McConnell Republicans suggested the GOP would try to keep the debate alive in an election year to rally conservatives and seize upon voter frustration with big government. Its riddled with constitutional problems, McConnell said of Obamas broader health-care plan. And this is what happens when the government tries to take over health care and tries to interfere with your religious beliefs. Last week, Obama backed down on a mandate that religious-afliated employers such as Catholic hospitals and colleges cover birth control in their health insurance plans. In a tweak of the rule, those employees would be offered free coverage directly from their health insurer. But employers would not provide or pay for it. The White House says the plan wont drive up costs because birth control, similar to other preventative care measures, is less expensive than pregnancy. But opponents say that unless drug makers stop charging for contraception, the cost is likely to get passed on to employers regardless.

WASHINGTON The new budget that President Barack Obama is sending to Congress aims to achieve $4 trillion in decit reduction over the next decade by restraining government spending and raising taxes on the wealthy. To help a weak economy, Obamas proposal Monday requests increases in transportation, education and other areas. While administration ofcials on Sunday defended the plan as a balanced approach, Republicans belittled the effort as a repeat of failed policies that did too little to attack soaring costs in such programs as Medicare and threatened growth by raising taxes. The debate is almost certain to go all the way to Election Day in November with gridlock keeping Congress from resolving many pressing issues on expiring tax cuts and across-the-board spending cuts until a lame-duck session at years end.

Obamas spending blueprint for the budget year that begins Oct. 1 projects a decit for this year of $1.33 trillion. That would mean straight Barack Obama four years of trilliondollar-plus decits. The budget will project a decline in the decit to $901 billion in 2013 and continued improvements shrinking the decit to $575 billion in 2018. Republicans said Obamas plan was a stark reminder that the Democratic president had failed to meet the pledge he made after taking ofce in 2009 to cut the decit in half by the end of his rst term. But Jacob Lew, Obamas chief of staff, said the administration had to contend with a deep recession and soaring unemployment that had driven the decits higher than anyone anticipated. He said Obamas

plan would cut the decit below 3 percent of gross domestic product by 2018, to levels that economists generally view as sustainable. He said faster decit cuts now would set back an economy still struggling with high unemployment. Lew, Obamas former budget chief, also said it was critical that Congress agree to extend a payroll tax cut due to expire at the end of February. Failure to extend it, he said, would cause another hit to the economy. I think there is pretty broad agreement that the time for austerity is not today, Lew said during a series of appearances on Sunday talk shows. Right now we have an economy thats taking root ... austerity measures right now would take the economy in the wrong way. House Republicans are preparing their version of Obamas budget that will propose sharper reductions in government entitlement programs such as Medicare while avoiding any tax increases.

Santorum plans aggressive strategy against Romney


By Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PORTLAND, Maine A day after Mitt Romney regained some momentum in the Republican presidential contest, his rival Rick Santorum went on the attack, calling the front-runner desperate while promising to compete aggressively to win the state where Romney grew up. Santorum said Sunday he could do exceptionally well in Michigan, where Romneys father served as governor. The Midwestern state and Arizona host Republican presidential nominating contests on Feb. 28.

Were going to spend a lot of time in Michigan and Arizona, and those are up next. And thats where weve really been focusing on, Santorum told Mitt Romney ABCs This Week. He suggested that a strong showing in those contests would make the presidential contest a twoman race, dismissing current rivals Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. Santorum shrugged off his third-

place finish Saturday in caucuses in Maine, where he didnt actively compete, as well as his secondplace finish in a straw poll of Rick Santorum c o n s e r v a t i v e activists. Romney has been painting Santorum as a long-time Washington insider who pursued home-state projects. Santorum on Sunday described Romneys recent criticism as desperate.

Al-Qaida backs Syrian revolt


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Al-Qaidas leader has called for the ouster of Syrias pernicious, cancerous regime, raising fears that Islamic extremists will try to exploit an uprising against President Bashar Assad that began with peaceful calls for democratic change but is morphing into a bloody, armed insurgency. The regime has long blamed terrorists for the 11-month-old revolt, and al-Qaidas endorsement creates new difculties for the U.S., its Western allies and Arab states trying to gure out a way to help force Assad from power. On Sunday, the

22-nation Arab League called for the U.N. S e c u r i t y Council to create a joint peacekeeping force for Syria, but Damascus it Bashar Assad rejected immediately. In an eight-minute video message released late Saturday, al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri called on Muslims to support Syrian rebels. Wounded Syria is still bleeding day after day, and the butcher (Bashar Assad) isnt deterred and

doesnt stop, said al-Zawahri, who took over al-Qaida after Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. special forces last May. However, the resistance of our people in Syria is escalating and growing despite all the pains, sacrices and blood. The United Nations estimates more than 5,400 people have been killed in Syria since the uprising began in March. But that gure is from January, when the U.N. stopped counting because the chaos in the country has made it all but impossible to check the gures. While many of the anti-government protests sweeping the country remain peaceful, the uprising as a

whole has become more violent in recent months as frustrated demonstrators and army defectors take up arms to protect themselves from the steady military assault. An increasing number of army defectors known as the Free Syrian Army have launched attacks, killing soldiers and security forces. Syria now has become one of the deadliest conflicts of the Arab Spring, and many fear the country of 22 million at the heart of the Arab world is on the verge of a civil war that could engulf the region. In a grave escalation of the violence, a string of suicide attacks have killed dozens of people since

late December. The latest, twin bombings in the major northern city of Aleppo, killed at least 28 people on Friday, the government said. Some 70 people were killed in earlier attacks in the capital, Damascus, on Dec. 23 and Jan. 6. All the blasts struck security targets. Nobody has taken responsibility for the attacks, but the regime said they have the hallmarks of al-Qaida and immediately blamed the global terror group. Saturdays statement by alZawahri appears to bolster Assads accusations, but the Syrian opposition and the Free Syrian Army reject the governments claims entirely. girl alive from the rubble of a house attened by a massive avalanche that killed both her parents and at least seven of her relatives in a remote mountain village in southern Kosovo. Col. Shemsi Syla, a spokesman for the Kosovo Security Force, said Sunday ofcers discovered the girl when they heard her voice and cell phone. Her home was buried under 10 meters of snow.

Venezuelas opposition chooses Chavezs challenger
CARACAS, Venezuela Opponents of President Hugo Chavez voted in their rst-ever presidential primary on Sunday, choosing a single challenger they hope will have what it takes to nally defeat Venezuelas leader after 13 years in ofce. Henrique Capriles, the front-runner among ve contenders according to pre-election polls, predicted a high turnout. Were going to surpass all expectations of participation, Capriles said after voting in Caracas.

Former bitter foes Abbas and Khaled Mashaal, Hamas top leader in exile, signed the Qatar-brokered deal in Doha last week, saying they are committed to a true partnership. As part of the agreement, Abbas is to head an interim unity government that replaces rival administrations in the West Bank and Gaza and leads the Palestinians to general elections.

Abbas needs to strike a delicate balance to make it work. T h e Palestinian leader has to satisfy international demands that the interim governMahmoud ment to conAbbas sist of politically independent technocrats not be a front for Hamas, shunned by the West as a terror group. If it is seen as too close to Hamas, the Palestinians would likely lose hundreds of millions of dollars in Western aid. At the same time, he risks sabotage from Hamas leaders in Gaza if he tries to strip them of too much of their power. In the nearly ve years it ruled the territory, Hamas hired

some 40,000 civil servants and security forces, many of them supporters of the movement, while 62,000 troops and civil servants forced out by the 2007 takeover many of them pro-Abbas are waiting to return to their old government jobs. Gaza leaders of Hamas have voiced their misgivings in increasingly strident tones. The Hamas bloc of legislators last week said the deal is illegal because Abbas cannot serve as both president and prime minister. On Saturday, the Hamas strongman in Gaza, Mahmoud Zahar, complained that Mashaal did not consult with other leaders in the movement before signing the deal and that the decision-making Shura Council should meet to correct what he termed a mistake.

Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having constant daily lower back pain and spasms, I took anti-inflammatory and pain medication, but nothing helped lessen the pain. When an MRI showed that I had two degenerative discs, I went through a series of lumbar epidural injections without success. The only thing that made the pain and spasms go away was Spinal Decompression treatments at Crossroads Health Center. Four years later and I am still pain-free! Lisa K.

Sugar and obesity


Chicago Sun-Times

Other voices
a national problem with obesity, and sugar is heavily to blame. Americans eat and drink roughly 22 teaspoons of sugar every day, three times as much as they did 30 years ago. Not all of that comes out of the sugar bowl. Much of it is hidden inside processed food and even bread and cereal. Obesity contributes to a wide range of health problems. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 112,000 deaths in the United States are associated each year

obody is overly sweet on sugar these days, but a bunch of scientists out West have taken concerns about Natures sweetener to an extreme. In a paper published recently, a team of scientists in California argued that sugar is so addictive it should be heavily taxed and regulated, like alcohol and drugs. They even want to set a legal age for buying sugar. Thats excessive. That said, theres no denying we have

with obesity, and the total medical costs came to $147 billion in 2008. A new study of more than a million people found that people who carry extra weight report more everyday pain. How bad is it? Over two decades, obesity rates have doubled in adults, and the percentage of adolescents who are above their normal weight has tripled. The needle on the nations bathroom scale is pointing in a scary direction. But lets be sensible. Lets eat more healthfully and get more exercise. And lets not listen to scientists who want a new Prohibition, this time for sugar.

The wild race for supervisor


month ago there were just two announced candidates for an open seat on the Board of Supervisors. Today there are at least six. The primary election June 5 for Rose Jacobs Gibsons seat will narrow the eld back to two. What a difference from the past history of one super candidate running virtually unopposed. That history has inspired calls for changing the way we choose our supervisors from countywide to district elections. And there is even a pending lawsuit to require that to happen. Two years ago there was also a competitive race for an open seat on the board, the most competitive election in a decade. Four well-known candidates were running for Mark Churchs vacant position Dave Pine, the eventual victor who was then a member of the San Mateo Union High School district board of trustees; Richard Holober, a wellknown labor leader and a member of the San Mateo County Community College District board; Millbraes Gina Papan; and Burlingame Councilwoman Terry Nagel. This race is going to be very different. District 4 includes Redwood City, Menlo Park, East Palo Alto and the unincorporated areas of North Fair Oaks and Oak Knoll. The six candidates are not as well known as the four main contenders in 2010. No candidate will have a monopoly of endorsements from the countys political elite. The candidates are Kirsten Keith, mayor of Menlo Park; Shelly Masur, Redwood City school board trustee; Memo Morantes, San Mateo County school board trustee; Ernie Schmidt, Redwood City planning commissioner; Carlos Romero and David Woods, both East Palo Alto councilmen. *** Memo was rst to announce. He has the support of former assemblyman Gene Mullin, East Palo Alto Mayor Laura Martinez; Sheriff Greg Munks and San Mateo Councilwoman Maureen Freschet plus most of his colleagues on the county school board. So far, Shelly Masur seems to have the lead on big name countywide endorsements state Sen. Leland Yee, Supervisors Dave Pine and Don Horsley and an impressive list of councilmembers: Christine Wozniak, Belmont; Michael Brownrigg, Burlingame; Pam Frisella and past member, Linda Koelling, Foster City; Christine Krolik, and Marie Chuang, Hillsborough; Jeff Gee, Barbara Pierce, Jeff Ira, John Seybert, and former member Diane Howard, Redwood City; Ron Collins, Andy Klein, Mark Olbert and Bob Grassilli, San Carlos; Dave Lim, San Mateo and Rich Garbarino, South San Francisco. Schmidt, Keith, Woods and Romero have not produced their list of endorsements yet although Redwood City Mayor Alicia Aguirre is endorsing Schmidt and Jacobs-Gibson has indicated her support for Woods. *** Rose was appointed in 1999 to ll the board seat vacated by Ruben Barrales (who went on to run for statewide ofce and lost). Both Rose and Ruben were favored by the countys political establishment. and had no trouble winning a countywide race. In the 2010 election, the countys prime political endorsements were split by the four candidates. But its much more difcult now when there are six. The two most recent District 4 supervisors came from primarily minority communities, Gibson, East Palo Alto and Barrales, North Fair Oaks. In the upcoming race three candidates are Latinos Morantes, Romero and Schmidt and one African American, David Woods. The countys new Latino PAC does not plan to support a candidate in the June primary. They will wait to see who emerges in the run-off in November. The pending lawsuit regarding the California Voting Rights Act argues that minority candidates would do better in district rather than countywide elections. But in this primary that might not be true given the number of so-called minority candidates running. Its also unusual to have two members of a city council vying against each other for the same county position as in the case of Romero and Woods. Its also strange that most of the Redwood City councilmembers are supporting a Redwood City school boardmember, Masur, rather than a member of the citys planning commission, Schmidt. Keith is a late entry and by announcing so late she may have forfeited the endorsements of several of her city council colleagues in other cities. In the 2010 election, Nagel, then Burlingame mayor, entered late and had a difcult time catching up. However, its way too early to speculate on the outcome. The two top vote getters in June will vie in November. They will probably be the ones who raise the most money and have the most important endorsements. Stay tuned.

From all the phone representatives, the dispatchers, the drivers, the ofce staff, to the advocates and above all, the taxpayers (I am one too) here in San Mateo County, you have saved my life. Following an injury accident in November 2011, I had nowhere to turn to be able to see physicians, get to the pharmacy, get groceries, go to the bank, still take my college classes - everything we do in our cars. It is all RediWheels for me now and in the foreseeable future. Redi-Wheels is the most unbelievable county service you could ever know. Not only have I had rides on weekends, but actually on Christmas Day. The reservationists are kind, the dispatchers are friendly, and the drivers I love them they are the face of Redi-Wheels. They have even come early because it is raining. Thank you SamTrans and RediWheels. I love you! published in the Feb. 1 edition of the Daily Journal on San Mateo Countys plans to cover its budget decit caught my eye: Large contributors to those gures are the new jail costs and debt service, negotiated salaries and retirement and increasing health and dental premiums for employees. If reported accurately, there is no mention that, in their discussions, county supervisors have considered the notion of bringing county employee benets in line with those of the general public that is, by reducing them and saving money. Based on this article and my review of the countys nances, Im probably going to avoid investing for my clients in bonds issued or guaranteed by a scally irresponsible entity. Arizona-SB-1070-style legislation. Self-deportation isnt as easy as anti-immigrant activists make it sound making life miserable is not only discriminatory, but also hateful toward people trying to work with the system if given an opportunity. Attrition through enforcement is also ineffective and relies on many of the discriminatory techniques aimed at self-deportation. Ive seen the harmful effects of such strategies on my community right here in East San Carlos. The current laws that are being proposed by states are discriminatory in nature and ultimately will not better our countrys immigration system.

Wary of money tainted by salt


Editor, A Stanford research group recently reported that, for decades, many doctors were paid handsomely to tout the health benets of smoking tobacco. That led me to think of how Cargill and DMB Associates are currently spreading their money around Redwood City to show how much they care about the city. I urge those who take that money to think carefully about whether to believe their claims of supposed benets to Redwood City through their proposed Saltworks development: can adding 30,000 residents really reduce trafc congestion? Is the solution to current ooding and future sea level rise really to put more residents and businesses below the level of the high tides? Is paving restorable wetlands really the best way to restore them? I dont think so. Please dont be deceived by their money.

Reforming immigration policy with the holistic perspective


Editor, As a Christian, I strongly believe that there is an undeniable responsibility to love and showing compassion for the stranger among us. Immigration reform should not be pushed off the table because its an election year. Its an ongoing moral issue as it determines whether a family lives in poverty and whether a parent is separated from his or her child. Comprehensive immigration reform is needed because, in a family, it is not just one person that is affected. Piecemeal approaches will only help some while leaving others behind. I experienced this rsthand in the immigration of my wife from Canada. The immigration law system is broken, and the people that work within it are disillusioned. Passing anti-immigrant legislation is not the solution: weve already learned about the scal and social costs of

The case for dull stocks


By Bernard Condon
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Investors thinking of buying a piece of Facebook after it goes public are hoping it will perform like Google, whose stock has risen 500 percent since its debut seven and a half years ago. But they may want to spare a thought for companies slightly less exciting a truck leasing company, perhaps, or a manufacturer of ball bearings. Stocks of those two have left Google, and the investors who didnt get into it early, in the dust in the past several years. So have more than half the companies in the Standard & Poors 500 index. Since the stock market peaked on Oct. 9, 2007, Ryder System Inc., which rents moving trucks, has returned 26 percent, counting dividends. Timken, the ball bearing company, 49 percent.

And the staid Johnson & Johnson, the 125-year-old maker of Tucks ointment to relieve hemorrhoids among thousands of other products, has trounced Google, too returning 12 percent with dividends. Google is up more than most stocks if you pick a different starting point, like 2004. But measured from the market peak, its down 1.5 percent. In other words, the people who got in then still havent broken even four and half years later. Even Microsoft, the lumbering software company whose best days are widely considered behind it, has done better, returning 12 percent, counting dividends. The lesson is that when it comes to hot stocks, you can sit on losses for years if you happen to buy at the top and cant make up ground with dividend checks. They move like rockets, straight up, says Robert Russell, president of Russell

& Co., a wealth management company in Ohio. But they can fall back to earth, too. In a ling earlier this month, Facebook said it plans to sell a yet-unknown stake for $5 billion, the largest for an Internet companys initial public offering. The buzz is that the offering could value the whole company at as much as $100 billion more than Hewlett-Packard, AOL and Yahoo combined. Whether the newly public stock ticker symbol FB will prove profitable for investors is another matter. For a taste of the dangers of buying stock in companies in the spotlight, check out the performance of Internet IPOs last year. Youve done OK if you got in at the offering price, set before the stock starts trading. But thats mostly reserved for the favored customers pension funds, mutual funds, hedge funds and other institutions. The little guy isnt doing nearly as well.

Drillers cut natural gas production


By Kevin Begos
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH As natural gas prices continue to drop, the recent nationwide boom in drilling is slowing. Drillers dont make money if prices go too low and drilling wells isnt cheap. It is safe to say that there will be fewer natural gas wells drilled in 2012, said Kathryn Klaber, president of the Marcellus Shale Coalition, an industry group based in Pennsylvania. In recent weeks, several companies have announced plans to cut gas production around the nation, but experts say the low prices are also opening up new markets. When the shale drilling boom was starting in 2008 the average price for a

unit of gas was about $8. Two years ago it was down to $5.50, and now its dropped to about $2.50. Part of the reason is that the shale gas formations became productive more rapidly than expected, as thousands of new wells have been drilled nationwide. Industry reports note that the national count of active new gas drilling rigs fell to 775 in early February, down from about 1,500 in 2008. Yet Klaber said that the low prices create opportunities for more people and industries to use the product. For example, some drilling companies are focusing more on the so-called wet gas that sells for a higher price because it can be transformed by reneries into consumer products such as plastics and fertilizer. Last month, Chesapeake Energy of

Oklahoma City said it is reducing the number of new dry gas drilling rigs from 47 to 24 this year. In addition, it immediately cut existing production by about 500 billion cubic feet per day, adding that if low prices persist, it may double the cut, to 1 billion cubic feet per day. The company said that about 85 percent of its nationwide drilling expenditures this year will be toward the more protable wet gas. A spokesman for Chesapeake didnt respond to a request for comment. Experts say the companies have ways to cushion the low prices. Its called hedging, and business people have used such tools for hundreds if not thousands of years, said Sara Moeller, a professor of business at the University of Pittsburgh.

ATHENS, Greece Greeces parliament early Monday approved harsh new austerity measures demanded by bailout creditors to save the debt-crippled country from bankruptcy, after rioters in central Athens torched buildings, looted shops and clashed with riot police. The historic vote paves the way for Greeces European partners and the International Monetary Fund to release (euro) 130 billion ($171 billion) in new rescue loans without which Greece would default on its debt mountain next month and likely leave the eurozone a scenario that would further roil global markets. Sundays clashes erupted after more than 100,000 protesters marched to the parliament to rally against the drastic cuts, which will ax one in ve civil service jobs and slash the minimum wage by more than a fth. At least 10 buildings were set on re, including a movie theater, bank and cafeteria, and looters smashed dozens of shops in the worst riot damage in years. Dozens of police ofcers and at least 37 protesters were injured, 23 suspected rioters were arrested and a further 25 detained. As the vote got under way early Monday, Prime Minister Lucas Papademos urged calm, pointing to the countrys dire nancial straits. Vandalism and destruction have no place in a democracy and will not be tolerated, Papademos told parliament. I call on the public to show calm. At these crucial times, we do not have the luxury of this type of protest. I think everyone is aware of how serious the situation is. Since May 2010, Greece has survived

on a $145 billion ((euro) 110 billion) bailout from its European partners and the IMF. When that proved insufcient, the new rescue package was approved. The deal, which has not yet been nalized, will be combined with a massive bond swap deal to write off half the countrys privately held debt. But for both deals to materialize, Greece has to persuade its deeply skeptical creditors that it has the will to implement spending cuts and public sector reforms that will end years of scal proigacy and tame gaping budget decits. As protests raged Sunday, demonstrators set bonres in front of parliament and dozens of riot police formed lines to keep them from making a run on the building. Security forces red dozens of tear gas volleys at rioters, who attacked them with rebombs and chunks of marble broken off the fronts of luxury hotels, banks and department stores. Clouds of tear gas drifted across the square, and many in the crowd wore gas masks or had their faces covered, while others carried Greek ags and banners. A three-story building was completely consumed by ames as reghters struggled to douse the blaze. Streets were strewn with stones, smashed glass and burnt wreckage, while terried passers-by sought refuge in hotel lounges and cafeterias.

A little magic pushes Serra to victory


By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Its playoff time on the West Catholic Athletic League soccer pitch and during the postseason stretch, sometimes you need a little more than just quality soccer to win a game. (Come) playoff time you need a little magic, said Serra head coach Jeff Panos, and I think we got that today.

Apparently, the Padres have soccer players that double as magicians and on Saturday against Valley Christian in the WCAL tournament, Tim Trzeciak and Nick Schnabel reached into their hats and pulled out a 2-1 victory-rabbit. The win advances the No. 2 seeded Padres into the seminals of the tournament where theyll play Archbishop Mitty. We had tough conditions today, Panos said, with the slick turf and

the wind played a little bit of a factor I think. And Valley Christian is a very well organized, disciplined squad. They were playing for their season, their season is done now, so you can tell they wanted every bit of it. Serra knew they were in for a battle - in their two games against the Padres this season, the Warriors showed improvement, rst losing 20 but then drawing 2-2 in the second leg.

For their spark, Valley Christian relied on the speed of Alex Mitchell and the creativity of Jacob Gronlund in the mideld. Serra got the two best looks in the rst half though. The rst came on a corner kick in the 17th minute when a Darren Finn header looked destined for soccer ball heaven and only a miraculous saved the V.C. goalkeeper prevented ultimate glory. A couple of minutes later, another

brilliant effort by Serra was thwarted when Lee Vellas volley from just outside the penalty box beat all mortals on its way to the net, but was stopped coldly by the crossbar. The ball made a beeline straight down and appeared to possibly cross the goal line, but the danger was cleared without a goal signal by the referees. The teams were tied 0-0 come

Mickelson crushes Tiger


Wins Pebble Beach
By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PEBBLE BEACH Phil Mickelson rallied from six shots behind to win for the fourth time at Pebble Beach, a nal round made even more memorable by the guy in a red shirt who was among the rst to congratulate him Sunday on the 18th green. Turns out that Tiger Woods was just along for the ride. Mickelson closed with an 8-under 64, beating Woods by 11 shots in a one-sided showdown at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. I just feel very inspired when I play with him, said Mickelson, who has posted the better score the past ve times he has played alongside Woods in the nal round. I love playing with him, and he brings out some of my best golf. I hope that he continues to play better, and better, and I hope that he and I have a chance to play together more in the nal rounds. Woods, one shot out of the lead on the sixth hole after 54-hole leader Charlie Wi fell apart early, followed his rst birdie of the nal round with three straight bogeys, starting with a threeputt from 18 feet on the par-3 seventh. It never got much better from there. He nished a miserable day with another three-putt on the 18th for a 75, the only consolation coming from belief that hes closer than ever to putting it all together. I didnt hit it as bad as the score indicated, but I putted awful, Woods said. As good as I felt on the greens yesterday, I felt bad today. Anything I tried to do wasnt working. Consequently, I made a ton of mistakes on the green. At least he got to watch a clinic. Mickelson went from six shots behind to a

MINNEAPOLIS One point guard has practically been a household name since he started playing professionally at 14, a lottery pick who has made the two-year wait for his ashy passes well worth it. The other went undrafted out of Harvard and unwanted in his rst two stops in the NBA before a desperate team and a desperate coach gave him the chance he needed on the games biggest stage. In their own different, yet equally dynamic ways, Ricky Rubio and

Jeremy Lin have put their dormant franchises on their backs and given a jolt to the NBAs long-standing mission of bringing the game to every Jeremy Lin corner of the world. As the rst American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent, Palo Alto High School alum Lin is re-opening doors in Asia that some feared to be closing in the wake of

Yao Mings retirement. Hes led the New York Knicks to ve straight victories and has become an instant fan favorite at Madison Square Garden after Golden State and Houston both sent him packing. Rubio is the Spanish sensation who has fans in Barcelona watching on Internet feeds in the wee hours of the morning. His infectious play has made him an instant rock star in the Twin Cities and has the Timberwolves gunning for the playoffs for the rst time since 2004. Together, they give the NBA two

ST. LOUIS Alex Pietrangelo had two goals, David Perron also scored with a two-man advantage and Andy McDonald added an assist in his return from a concussion that sidelined him for 51 games, sending the St. Louis Blues to a 3-0 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Sunday night. Jaroslav Halak earned his sixth shutout in just 10 starts, one more than All-Star teammate Brian Elliott has, as the Blues extended a franchise record by earning at least one

point in 19 consecutive home games. Theyre 16-0-3 at home since a 5-2 loss to Chicago on Dec. 3 and an NHL-best 24-3-4 overall, topping their total of 23 wins last season. Antti Niemi made 25 saves for the Pacific Division-leading Sharks, who came up empty in the opener of a season-long, nine-game trip.

three major American sports of football, baseball and hockey. Germanys Dirk Nowitzki is a former MVP who won a title last year, Spains Pau and Marc Gasol are high-prole players and Yao helped shepherd the league into China. But as point guards, Lin and Rubio have the ball in their hands and control of the game at all times. And while their games, backgrounds and upbringings have been nearly polar opposites, the electricity they provide serves as a tie that binds. Both ll up the stat sheet, both play extremely hard and both are just infectious not only in their play but their personality as well, Timberwolves All-Star Kevin Love career wins. This one was special for many reasons, and the thrashing he gave Woods was but a small part of it. His wife, Amy, ew up for the weekend and gave him a pep talk Friday in the rain at Monterey Peninsula when Mickelson was going nowhere. He ran off five birdies, got back into the tournament and picked up a win he didnt see coming. As much as Woods talks about his game being close, Mickelson felt the same way. His last win was the Houston Open last April, and while he thought he was putting well, his scores didnt reect it. Its one of the more emotional victories for me than Ive had, and the reason is Ive had some doubt these last couple of weeks, given the scores Ive shot, Mickelson said. Having these great practice sessions, I started to wonder if Im going to be able to bring it to the golf course. So this gives me a lot of condence and erases the doubt. The last shred of doubt came on said. People just seem to love both of them. Ricky was kind of a fairy tale before he came over here and has really blossomed into a tremendous player and is only going to get better. But Lin, he really came out of nowhere. Lin is the scorer, having poured in 109 points in his rst four starts, including 38 in a victory over the Lakers on Friday night that pushed coverage of the Super Bowl champion Giants off the back pages of the Big Apple tabloids. Thats more than any player has had in his rst four starts since the NBA-ABA merger, besting Allen Iverson, Michael Jordan and Shaquille ONeal. the 14th, a diabolical green that turn birdies into bogeys without caution. Woods hit a wedge that went down the side of the green, requiring two chips to get on the green. He made bogey. Mickelsons caddie, Jim Bones Mackay got in his hear. He erased all doubt and said, Lets get aggressive and make birdie, we need one more here, Mickelson said. It just got me aggressive and into a positive frame of mind. He went at the ag and made birdie. Wi, who started the nal round with a three-shot lead, birdied his last two holes for a 72 and his fth runner-up nish on tour. It was the third straight week that the winner began the nal round at least six shots behind a 54-hole leader going for his rst tour victory. I fought back and hung in there, because the four-putt on the rst hole, I was really shook up pretty badly and my strokes were pretty iffy at best, Wi said.

They kind of out-manned in the mideld with the formation they play, Panos said of his halftime adjustments, so we were looking for ground balls to get through their defense because I think we got the speed up front to be able to run on to it. We talked about getting the ball through. We got the two goals and I think they were deserved. The scores were rewards for Serras hustle. Were a little banged up right now, Panos said, this is our fourth game in eight days, so were missing about three keys guys today. Stepping up rst for the Padres was Trzeciak. In the 47th minute, No. 24 pressured the goalkeeper on a routine clearance. Its one of those plays that as a player you do your due diligence knowing that more often than not, the goalie is just going to boot the ball down eld. But on this occasion, the ball was deected by a charging and leaping Trzeciak and made its way into the empty V.C net. He came off the bench and gave us a huge lift, Panos said of Trzeciak, (he) almost willed the ball into the goal on that rst goal. Serras hustle was rewarded in similar fashion 10 minutes later. Once again, pressure up top caused just enough Warrior-confusion to force a lethal turnover in their defensive third. And there to turn the ugly into beautiful was Schnabel, who nished in world-class fashion for the 2-0 Padre lead.

Stanford women crush UCLA


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STANFORD Stanford can always depend on the Ogwumike sisters, and now some other players are chipping in. Nnemkadi Ogwumike had 25 points and eight rebounds, and No. 4 Stanford beat UCLA 82-59 on Sunday. Chiney Ogwumike added 19 points for the Cardinal (22-1, 13-0 Pac-12), who won their 19th straight since losing at Connecticut on Nov. 21. Toni Kokenis scored 12 points and Josyln Tinkle added 10 points and nine rebounds. We count every night on Nneka

and Chiney, coach Tara Va n D e r v e e r said. This was a big game for Jos and we had others score and getting assists. To get to where we Nnemkadi want to go, we Ogwumike need other people contributing. Chiney Ogwumike was limited to eight minutes in the first half because of foul trouble. I wouldnt necessarily say it changes the dynamics, Nneka Ogwumike said. I think it helped

other people step up. Tink had a great game. When we needed her on the perimeter, she stepped up, and when we needed her down low, she got in there. I think we did a good job of finding each other. Markel Walker had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Bruins (12-12, 7-6 Pac-12), who lost their second straight following a fourgame winning streak. Thea Lemberger added 13 points. Rebekah Gardner scored 15 and became the 26th UCLA player to surpass 1,000 points. She now has 1,006. I think our whole team loves the challenge, said Walker, who averages a double-double after

missing the first seven games because of offseason thumb surgery. Playing against the sisters is hard because they both rebound so well and they run the floor so well. They just dont stop; they keep working. Stanford extended its school record home winning streak to 76 games and 70 against Pac-12 opponents, which includes tournament games. The Cardinal need one more win or a California loss to clinch at least a share of their 12th consecutive conference title. UCLA made the Cardinal work during a tight first half. Stanford never led by more than five and the

Bruins held early advantages in rebounding and points in the paint. But the Cardinal went on a 19-6 run with 13 points from the Ogwumike sisters that spanned both halves to open a 42-32 advantage with 16:23 remaining. UCLA never got closer than eight the rest of the way. We showed flashes, Bruins coach Cori Close said. We have the ability to force Stanford into playing out of rhythm. We have to learn how to sustain that. The Bruins missed their last nine shots of the first half over more than 6 1/2 minutes but still led 2623 with 5:21 left by hitting eight straight free throws.

West Virginia women slip by No. 2 Notre Dame 65-63


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said her team had it coming to them. I thought weve been building up to this game now for a couple of weeks, she said. We just havent played well for a long time. The second-ranked Irish almost played well enough Sunday, but West Virginia ended their 21-game winning streak with a 65-63 victory. Brooke Hampton made two free throws with 4.6 seconds left to give the Mountaineers (18-6, 8-3 Big East) the lead and a 15-footer by Natalie Novosel of Notre Dame bounced off the rim as time expired. This is a great win for us, Mountaineers coach Mike Carey said. We were below .500 three or four years ago and we beat Louisville at Louisville when they were ranked third in the country. This is right up there (with our best wins ever). The Mountaineers came in on a three-game winning streak and were condent heading into Sunday, according to center Asya Bussie who had 22 points and eight rebounds. I just think we were more focused, she said. We prepared all week and we just came in and did what we had to do to get the win. Bussie hit a turnaround jumper with 39 seconds to go that tied the game at 63. Skyler Diggins had a career-high 32 points for Notre Dame (24-2, 11-1), which came into the game leading the nation at 83.2 points per game.

Diggins missed a contested layup that could have tied the score with less than 10 seconds to play. She fouled Hampton at midcourt as she went for a steal with 4.6 seconds to go. Hampton then made the free throws that gave her four points for the game all from the line. Diggins said her team stopped playing defense. We just were not attacking, she said. We were getting transitions at rst and then we stopped playing defense and they scored. We havent practiced with intensity this week and it showed. But its not the end of the season. Its just a bad loss. Weve got to come back and make sure we are ready for the rest of the season. The Mountaineers forced Notre Dame into 17 turnovers. I think we had to sit down and get a little physical with them, Carey said. Because if you dont they are just going to throw you out of the way and go get a layup. Ive watched a lot a lot of tape on them and (that is what they do). So we tried to get our guards to sit down and body them up a little bit more. Ayna Dunning added 11 points for the Mountaineers, who nished with a 41-33 rebound advantage. This was a big win for us, Carey said. We lost ve seniors from last year and they were almost 90 percent of our offense. For these girls to get this type of win on the road will do a lot for our condence because we are young. We have to build on this.

Stanford men breeze past USC by 12 points


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Chasson Randle made all four of his 3-point shots in the second half to finish with 16 points and Stanford beat USC 59-47 on Sunday, completing its first season sweep of the Trojans since 2005. Josh Owens added 15 points for Stanford (17-8, 7-6 Pac-12). The Cardinal had lost five of their previous six after a 15-3 start. Stanford beat USC 51-43 at home on Dec. 31. Greg Allen scored 13 points for USC (620, 1-12 Pac-12). Byron Wesley scored 10 of the Trojans first 13 points, but had only three the rest of the way and finished 6 for 15 from the field. Sophomore Andy Brown hit a 3-pointer midway through the first half to give Stanford a 15-11 lead, the biggest by either team until the Cardinal opened the second half with an 8-0 run that gave them a 28-18 advantage with 17:27 left in the game. The Trojans went 12:43 without a field goal until Garrett Jackson turned a short hook shot into a three-point play that cut Stanfords lead to 30-24 with 14:27 left. Allen cut the deficit to four on another 3pointer with 12:26 remaining, and Maurice

Jones got USC within 35-33 on a fast-break layup about 1 1/2 minutes later. But Stanford responded with an 11-0 run ignited by Owens dunk, and Randle added back-to-back 3-pointers 33 seconds apart. USC got no closer than nine points the rest of the way, as Randle made a breakaway layup off his steal of Maurice Jones, Andrew Zimmerman added a layup and Randle hit another 3-pointer to give Stanford a 59-39 lead with 3:08 left. Both teams shot under 35 percent in the first half, with Stanford leading 20-18 at intermission. After committing 22 turnovers in a 72-61 loss to UCLA on Thursday, the Cardinal coughed up the ball 10 times over the first 20 minutes four times on offensive fouls against an injury-ravaged Trojans squad that came in leading the Pac-12 in scoring defense and turnover margin. The only teams USC has beaten Cal State Northridge, Morgan State, South Carolina, UC Riverside, TCU and Utah are a combined 50-93. TCU (14-10) is the only one with a winning record. The Trojans only conference win came against Utah, which was in the Mountain West Conference last season before the Pac-10 expanded to 12 schools.

Red Wings unstoppable at home


By Larry Lage
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT The Detroit Red Wings equaled an NHL record with their 20th straight win at home, beating the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 Sunday night on the strength of Johan Franzens tiebreaking goal early in the third period. The league mark was set by the Boston Bruins during the 1929-30 season and matched by Philadelphia in 1976. Detroit can break the record with a win Tuesday night over the Dallas Stars at Joe Louis Arena. Philadelphia rookie Brayden Schenn had a career-high two goals, helping the Flyers take the rst of two leads they couldnt keep against a team that hasnt lost at home since Nov. 3 against Calgary. Detroit goalie Joey MacDonald overcame shaky clearing attempts that led to two goals and nished with 26 saves. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 21 shots for the Flyers. Bobrovskys head was on a swivel in the opening minute of the third period when Henrik Zetterberg and Nicklas Lidstrom made diagonal passes to set up Franzen in front of the net for his 22nd goal. Bobrovsky got a break moments later when Valtteri Filppula deked him and lifted a shot over the open net. The Flyers went on the power play midway through the third but couldnt tie the game. They pulled Bobrovsky with just more than a minute left to add an

extra skater, but he had to go back in net briey when Franzen got to a loose puck and Kimmo Timonen was called for holding him. Lidstrom played in his 1,550th game, the most by an NHL player who spent his entire career with one team. He broke the mark set by former Red Wings great Alex Delvecchio. Fans stood and chanted, Lets go Red Wings! during the nal minutes and cheered wildly when the clock hit zero. Early on, Philadelphia took advantage of facing MacDonald instead of Jimmy Howard, who missed his fth straight game with a broken right index nger. MacDonald misplayed a puck behind the net to help Schenn score late in the rst period and couldnt clear a rebound early in the second, setting up Schenns second goal that put the Flyers ahead 2-1. Pavel Datsyuk tied it 2-all a few minutes later on a power-play goal from the left circle. MacDonald didnt have much of a chance to stop Maxime Talbots goahead goal late in the second period. Talbot got behind Detroits defense and flipped the puck past MacDonald. Henrik Zetterbergs one-timer a couple of minutes later tied the game at 3 entering the third. The Red Wings are hoping Howard will return Friday night at home against Nashville. Fired-up fans at Joe Louis Arena wanted to see a league mark matched and one of them hurled an octopus

end in a 2-for-35 slump. St. Louis is 3-0 against the Sharks this season, outscoring them 7-2 including a 1-0 shutout by Elliott on Dec. 10 in St. Louis. Its the Sharks first three-game losing streak against the Blues since dropping five in a row Jan. 9 to Dec. 18, 2003. The Sharks were whistled for three penalties in a span of 3 minutes and Pietrangelo capitalized with his ninth goal on a two-man advantage at 15:03 of the first. San Jose was outshot 10-7 in the period, managing just three shots in the last 15 minutes. Ryan Clowe and Brad Winchester drew tripping and elbowing penalties in the second period, respectively, and it cost the

on the ice during the national anthem, an act usually reserved for a playoff game. Niklas Kronwall kept them happy, putting Detroit ahead 1-0 midway through the rst period with a onetimer from just inside the blue line on a power play. The puck got past Bobrovsky before he could see it because Todd Bertuzzi was obstructing his view, standing in front of the crease. Schenn was in the perfect spot to score into an open net late in the rst period when MacDonald didnt get much wood on a clearing attempt from behind the net, turning it over to Danny Briere, who quickly got the puck to Schenn in front of the net. Schenns second goal gave Philadelphia its rst lead 5:22 into the second from the bottom of the left circle, beating Zetterberg to a loose puck that was poorly cleared by MacDonald off a rebound. NOTES: Schenn, the fth pick in the 2009 draft, was acquired by Philadelphia last summer from Los Angeles as part of the Mike Richards trade. ... Kronwalls goal was his 12th, topping his career high set last season. ... The NBAs longest home winning streak in a season was set by Chicago with 37 straight victories during the 1995-96 season; the 1978 Pittsburgh Pirates and 1988 Boston Red Sox each won 24 straight at home for baseballs longest singleseason home winning streaks since 1919 and the Miami Dolphins won 27 straight at home from 1971-74 in what has stood as the longest home winning streak in NFL history.

Perron has six goals in the last four games, the last three on the power play, and 10 goals in 30 games overall. He returned in early December from a concussion sustained on a mid-ice hit by the Sharks Joe Thornton that knocked him out for more than a year. The Blues immediately plugged McDonald into the regular rotation plus power-play duty, and he added an element of speed to the lineup. McDonald earned the second assist on Pietrangelos goal. The Blues have four power-play goals in the last two games after entering the week-

Sharks again. Perron whiffed on a rebound attempt from the side of the net but got a second chance when the puck deflected off Niemmis back, and he slipped in a backhander.

Logan Coutures career-best, eight-game point streak ended. He totaled five goals and seven assists. ... The Blues are 22-1-1 when leading after two periods.

Jessica Korda wins Womens Australian Open


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MELBOURNE, Australia Jessica Korda broke out her fathers trademark scissor-kick celebration Sunday when she won the Womens Australian Open at Royal Melbourne for her rst LPGA Tour title. She decided against the cart wheels that her father, Petr, did when he won the 1998 Australian Open tennis title. Maybe she was still dizzy following a topsy-turvy nal day of the tournament. After losing the lead with a late bogey run, the 18-year-old American fought back to take the last spot in an improbable six-player playoff, then won with a 25-foot birdie putt on the second extra hole. It is a really special place for my family, Korda said. For my rst win, I honestly could not have thought of a better place. What did her father say when they spoke by phone after the victory? That he was, So proud of me and well talk about the three-putts after, she said. She closed with a 1-over 74 to nish at 3-under 289 in the first womens professional event at Royal Melbourne, the difcult sandbelt layout that was the site of the

2011 Presidents Cup. Stacy Lewis, B r i t t a n y Lincicome, Julieta Granada, So Yeon Ryu and Hee Kyung Seo also were in the that Jessica Korda playoff matched the largest in LPGA Tour history. Ryu and Seo, playing ahead of Korda and Nikki Campbell in the second-to-last group, topped the leaderboard at 4 under going into the final hole of regulation, but made bogeys to set up the big playoff. Lewis finished with a 70, Lincicome and Granada shot 71, and Ryu and Seo 73. Split into threesomes on the par-4 18th, all six players parred the rst extra hole. Lincicomes 6-foot birdie try circled the cup and stayed out. I couldnt have hit it any better, Lincicome said. It was perfect, perfect speed. ... Lips out and comes back to you. Playing in the rst threesome, Lincicome also narrowly missed a 15-foot birdie try on the second playoff hole.

Same thing on the second putt, hit it exactly where I wanted to hit it and it just didnt break, Lincicome said. A few minutes later in the second group, Korda made her birdie putt, and won when Granada missed a 12-footer that would have sent the two back to the 18th tee. I was really calm, Korda said. I knew what the putt did because Id had it before and it did not move. I was a little higher up and more to the right. I knew the line and I knew the speed. All I had to do was just hit it. It started breaking. I thought, Oh, my goodness no, dont lip out, dont break too early. I dont even know what side of the hole it hit. I was overwhelmed by everything. Making her 16th start as an LPGA Tour member, Korda took a one-stroke lead into the round and was two ahead at 7 under after birdieing three of the rst eight holes. Then she made it a lot more exciting than she wanted. She had a double bogey on No. 9, bogeyed 10, birdied 11, and bogeyed Nos. 14-16 to drop to 2 under two strokes behind Ryu and Seo. Korda then ran yes, ran to the 17th tee.

I was kind of upset, she said. I needed to let off some steam. The way I throw off steam is I go for a run. It calmed me down. I was running around the parking lot this morning, too. I was doing circles around the cars. Her mind was racing, too. I thought, Youve got to be kidding me, Korda said. I was lipping out and not reading my putts correctly. But I thought, Come on, you can still get it back. ... I was walking down the fairway like an absolute goof. She rallied with a birdie on the par-5 17th After I made the birdie, I was OK, like, I can do this, she said and parred the 18th. Projected to jump from 285th to 30th in the world ranking, she became the sixth youngest winner in LPGA Tour history and the fourth youngest to win a 72-hole event. All the times, I was down last year, it is all worth it, she said. It made me grow up. It made me realize that youve got to change your life to live out here and this is proof. I know that all the hard hours I put in and will keep putting in are really worth it. Every moment. Jenny Shin nished a stroke out of the playoff at 2 under after a 70.

Top-ranked Yani Tseng, the winner the last two years at Commonwealth Golf Club, was 1 under after a 74. She had a threehole stretch Friday in her secondround 76 when she dropped six strokes with a quadruple-bogey 8 and two bogeys. On Sunday, she had a triple bogey on the par-4 fourth, and bogeyed 15 and 16. If I didnt have the two bogeys late, I probably still would have had a chance, Tseng said. So its good that I hung in there and fought back. Katie Futcher also was 1 under after a 74. DIVOTS: Korda earned $165,000. ... The scoring average Sunday was 74.92 and the fourround total was 76.492.

Els squeezes into Match Play


PEBBLE BEACH Ernie Els can plan on a trip to Arizona for the Match Play Championship just barely. Sunday was the nal week to qualify for the first World Golf Championship of the year, and the Match Play takes the top 64 players off the world ranking. Pebble Beach winner Phil Mickelson is not playing that week, so Els gets the nal spot at No. 65.

The XFactor at Westminster the xoloitzcuintli

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Jose Barrera enjoys pretty things. A jewelry designer to the stars, his gold-plated breastplate is what Beyonce wore for her I Am ... Sasha Fierce album. These days, hes showing off another gem Alma Dulce, his tiny, trembling xoloitzcuintli. His what? With the Westminster Kennel Club dog show set to begin Monday, time to know your Xs and Os. So start with the xoloitzcuintli, one of six new breeds welcomed this year to Madison Square Garden. They are exotic, Barrera said.

You cant take her for a walk around the block without someone stopping you to ask, What is that, how do you spell that? Commonly known as a Mexican hairless, and featuring oversized batlike ears, theyre pronounced show-low-eats-QUEEN-tlee. Thats according to Amy Fernandez, an expert whos written books about the breed. We go around with little cards at shows telling people how to say it. Otherwise, you would lose your voice doing it every time, she said. Fernandez planned to enter two of her xoloitzcuintli in Americas most distinguished dog show. There are 10 ready to compete, though little Alma Dulce will sit out this time at only 2 1/2 years old.

The Mexican hairless


The show-low expected to show best is Georgio Armani, the

rst xolo to win best in show at an American Kennel Club event. As magnicent a dog of any breed that we might see, praised David Frei, longtime television host of Westminster. More than 2,000 pooches will take part, coming in 185 breeds and varieties. Among the favorites to become top dog are a wire fox terrier, a smooth fox terrier, an affenpinscher and a couple of standard poodles. Judge Cindy Vogels, who comes from a terrier background, will point to her pick as best in show around 11 p.m. Tuesday. CNBC and the USA Network will share the TV coverage on the rst night, then USA will show the winner. Last year, Hickory the Scottish

deerhound earned the prized silver bowl. Among the popular winners from the past were Uno the beagle, Josh the Newfoundland and J.R. the bichon frise. This years six new breeds to Westminster are the xoloitzcuintli, the Entlebucher mountain dog, the Norwegian lundehund, the American English coonhound, the Finnish lapphund and the Cesky terrier. Watching any of them win would be a surprise its taken more than a quarter-century for any newcomer to take the top honor. Seeing any xolo is pretty rare, be it in the nonsporting group or anywhere else. Sporting an Aztec name that meant dog of the gods, the xolo dates back 3,000 years, Fernandez said.

OAKLAND Monta Ellis had 33 points and seven assists, David Lee added 15 points and 13 rebounds and the Golden State Warriors beat the Houston Rockets 106-97 on Sunday night for their second straight victory over a Western Conference playoff contender. Rookie reserve Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry had 14 points apiece and each made some big shots late to help the Warriors upset another top team. Golden State also won at Denver on Thursday night. Kevin Martin started to break out of a recent shooting slump with 28 points and Luis Scola had 14 points and 13 rebounds for the Rockets, whose three-game winning streak ended. Houston is 3-2 on its current road stretch and has a chance to head home with a winning trip Tuesday at Memphis. The Warriors started to pull away in the fourth quarter with a mix of

substitutes and starters. Ekpe Udoh came off the bench and nished with a strong layup at the rim, drawing a foul on Chase Budinger to convert a three-point play. Thompson followed with a 3pointer on the next possession, Lee added a put-back dunk and a threepoint play and Golden State opened up a 93-80 lead with 7:24 remaining. Too late and too much for Houston to comeback. The Rockets scored six straight capped by Patrick Pattersons tip to quickly close within seven and give Golden State a brief scare. With the game starting to slip back within reach, a familiar force for the Warriors made sure it didnt. Curry dribbled along the baseline and nished with an acrobatic, onehanded reverse layup underneath the rim despite getting sent tumbling to the hardwood by Scola. Curry made the free throw for the three-point play to put Golden State back in front by 10 and all but seal the victory. The two franchises suddenly tied

together by a similar player move tried to make their own marks. New York sensation Jeremy Lin was waived by Golden State in December after splitting last season between the Warriors and the NBA Development League. Houston picked the point guard up for a couple of weeks before cutting him, and the Knicks decided to give him a look. All Lin has done since is help New York to ve straight victories and engulfed the NBA in swift and stunning fashion. So much so that Rockets coach Kevin McHale acknowledged he went to a Bay Area sports bar Saturday night to watch Lin lead the Knicks past the Minnesota Timberwolves, where McHale had previously coached. Sundays matchup had little of the same intrigue. After going scoreless for almost three minutes to start the game, the Rockets scored 13 straight including the last six points by Scola to take a 13-5 lead.

The Vowshows love sells


By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

his weeks tip comes by way of a friend in the media, a knowledgeable cat owner (and PHS/SPCA adopter) perplexed by a common, messy issue: her cat who has been using a litterbox regularly, now limits her visits to No. 1. For No. 2, her new spot is behind the curtains! Shes tried scolding her cat and believes her cat can tell she means business, but this hasnt changed the cats business. PHS/SPCA behaviorist Anika Liljenwall had this advice. First, cats do not respond well to punishment and it usually only increases their stress level and makes the issue worse. And if you scold her after shes pooped, she has no idea why shes being scolded. The best way to ensure consistent litterbox use is to have a large, uncovered litterbox with unscented litter, and place it in an open area far away from her food. Even if you have just one cat, consider a second box. Clean them at least once daily as many cats will not go in a box they deem too dirty. Finally, take her to the vet for a checkup, just to make sure there isnt an underlying medical cause. In terms of dealing with the actual mess, use a pet-formulated enzymatic cleaner to get rid of the smell; most regular household cleaners are not powerful enough to remove the smell for the cat. Many elimination issues are also due to stress. To ease stress and make kitty happier and well-adjusted, make sure she has toys and lots of tall places to climb. If she is an indoor/outdoor cat, there could be something outside (other cats, raccoons, etc.) causing her stress. This is one of the reasons we recommend for most cats to be indooronly. Also, think about any recent changes to your household or routine that could have preceded this problem.

His companion, Murray, oversees him.

LOS ANGELES Love triumphed over action at the weekend box ofce with a No. 1 debut for the romantic drama The Vow. Studio estimates Sunday show that the love story starring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum took in $41.7 million to come in ahead of two new action tales and the rst 3-D Star Wars reissue. Landing a close second with $39.3 million was Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds action thriller Safe House. Coming in solidly at No. 3 was Dwayne Johnsons family action sequel Journey 2: The Mysterious Island with $27.6 million. And adding to George Lucas riches was the 3-D premiere of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, which was No. 4 with $23 million. That raises the lifetime domestic total for Phantom Menace to $454.1 million. This was the rst non-holiday weekend that four movies opened with more than $20 million each, said Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for box-ofce tracker Hollywood.com. The only other time when four new releases did that well was over Christmas weekend in 2008, he said. It felt like a summer weekend to me, Dergarabedian said. This was like a great big valentine from Hollywood to the audience, or from the audience to Hollywood. The four big debuts maintained Hollywoods strong business during the normally sleepy winter. Overall domestic revenues totaled $193 million, up 19.3 percent from the same weekend last year, when Just Go with It led with $30.5 million. So far this year, domestic receipts are at $1.2 billion, 19 percent ahead of 2011s. I really believe people are in a moviegoing mode, said Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal, which released Safe House. There have been great choices so far this year. I feel honestly that the mild weather has helped them enjoy wintertime for what it is. Theyre not stuck inside, theyre not snowed in. Maybe people like to get out of the home rather than cocooning. Timed to Valentines Day on Tuesday, The Vow stars McAdams as a woman who awakens in the hospital after a car wreck with no

The Vowwas the weekends top movie.

Top ten movies


1.The Vow,$41.7 million ($9.7 million international). 2.Safe House,$39.3 million ($10.2 million international). 3.Journey 2:The Mysterious Island,$27.6 million ($25.5 million international). 4.Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menacein 3-D, $23 million ($20.5 million international). 5.Chronicle,$12.3 million. 6.The Woman in Black,$10.3 million. 7.The Grey,$5.1 million. 8.Big Miracle, $3.9 million ($400,000 international). 9.The Descendants,$3.5 million. 10.Underworld Awakening,$2.5 million.
memory of her husband (Tatum) and the last ve years of her life. Women accounted for 72 percent of the audience for The Vow, whose receipts in just its rst two days exceeded the movies $30 million production budget. There are certain movies that women, no pun intended, vow they are going to see, and this is that kind of movie, said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony, whose Screen Gems banner released The Vow. I do think a lot of men are going to be seeing it on Feb. 14. Its a great date movie, and I think the men who do see it on Valentines Day are going to be thoroughly entertained. The Vow added $9.7 million in 20 overseas markets to bring its worldwide total to $51.4 million. The audience was split evenly between males and females for Safe House, which

stars Washington as a CIA traitor who turns himself in and winds up on the run with his rookie minder (Reynolds). Safe House also took in $10.2 million from 25 overseas territories to lift its worldwide total to $49.5 million. Journey 2 stars Johnson, Michael Caine, Josh Hutcherson and Vanessa Hudgens in a follow-up to the 2008 hit Journey to the Center of the Earth, a modern take on Jules Vernes sci- classic. The sequel gives a similar twist to Vernes The Mysterious Island. The movie began rolling out overseas three weeks earlier than its domestic release. It added $25.5 million in 29 overseas markets this weekend to raise its international total to $74.7 million and putting its worldwide take at $102.3 million. Domestically, Journey 2 started modestly Friday, behind The Phantom Menace. But family crowds swamped theaters for Journey 2 on Saturday. For us to win that family battle this weekend was a tremendous coup for the lm, said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros., which released Journey 2. The PG-rated Journey 2 lled out that family niche on a weekend that gave viewers wide choices. Ive always felt the market is healthiest when theres something for everyone, and there is something for everyone now. The Vow has a specic audience, Safe House has a specic audience, Journey 2 found its audience. And Star Wars is Star Wars, said Chris Aronson, head of distribution for 20th Century Fox, which released Lucas sci- franchise. Its one of those really rare jewels in the lm universe. While business was strong for The Phantom Menace, it came up short of the $30.2 million debut for last Septembers 3-D re-release of The Lion King. The Phantom Menace reissue added $20.5 million in 61 overseas markets, bringing the 3-D versions worldwide haul to $43.5 million. Added to the $924 million global total from its original 1999 release, the movie is climbing toward the $1 billion mark. Release dates for 3-D versions of the remaining ve Star Wars icks have not been announced, though the initial plan for Fox and Lucas was to put out one a year.

spokesman Deputy Les Garcia told the station that cadaver dogs brought to the scene gave a preliminary conrmation that the bones were human. On Saturday, a piece of a human skull and bones were also found at the ranch near Linden. The remains will be sent to the Department of Justice in the hopes of identifying them through DNA testing, Garcia said. The remains have been found with a map prepared by Wesley Shermantine. He and his childhood friend, Loren Herzog, were called the Speed Freak Killers for a methamphetamine-fueled killing spree that had as many as 15 victims. recycling is another. Assistant City Manager Brian Moura, who recommends working with the county as the better option, estimates developing the citys own proposal will cost under $5,000. Several cities in the county have expressed interest in joining forces with the county but not all. Millbrae, for instance, passed its own ordinance much as it also did with a polystyrene ban. Although not in place, there is a draft county ordinance making the rounds for consideration. The draft is based on a ban in San Jose that exempts restaurants because they are covered under the disposable foodware ordinance and allows stores to sell bags to customers. The countys initial timeline is currently a year to polish the ban ordinance and ready an environmental impact report, needed to help head off any potential concerns or lawsuits that have dogged early efforts by other cities to eliminate bags. The EIR preparation is one benet of working with the city, west of Maple Street, confuses some visitors because the 19 spaces look like on-street parking but is really operated as part of Lot C. Both changes, according to the staff report coming to the City Council, will improve parking options and reduce confusion. Turning Pennsylvania we have him, Grifth said. At the time, Grifth has been in a classroom. An ofce staff member went to get the principal and the two ran to the scene. Once there, Hinestroza has already worked his magic. Paramedics had also been called and the little girl was taken to be checked out as a precaution. Although a little shaken, she is ne, said Grifth who added she ate lunch in the ofce a couple times last week before heading back to the cafeteria. Hinestroza was recently recognized at for Vega who hates surprises. The rest, however, was. When Vega moved to the Bay Area there was a place near Ocean Beach where she would park and think about her decision to relocate, which kept her from her family. Masibay wanted to change the meaning of that place and proposed to her there. San Francisco is where we found each other. From this point on, it will be a happy memory, he said. Wedding planning was mostly taken out of their hands in late December when the pair learned they were among the four who would have weddings at the Empire State Building on Valentines Day the only day a couple can tie the knot at the New York City landmark. For 80 years, the Empire State Building has been an iconic destination for lovers from around the world this is the ideal backdrop to celebrate the most romantic day of the year, Melanie Maasch, director of brand development and public relations at the Empire State Building, said in a prepared statement. With Colin Cowies expertise, we are making dreams come true by creating stylishly elegant weddings for our winning couples. Cowie is helping to make each couples experience unique. Masibay and Shermantine was convicted of four murders and sentenced to death. Herzog was convicted of three murders and sentenced to 77 years to life in prison, though that was later reduced to 14 years. An appeals court tossed his rstdegree murder convictions after ruling his confession was illegally obtained. Herzog was paroled in 2010 to a trailer outside the High Desert State Prison in Susanville. He committed suicide outside that trailer last month after Sacramento bounty hunter Leonard Padilla told him Shermantine was disclosing the location of the well along with two other locations. according to Moura. The county would do so on behalf of the cities, sparing them the legwork and expense. Another benet is uniform outreach, implementation and enforcement which Moura said will be very compelling to San Carlos retailers. Even if the City Council agrees to wait on the countys ordinance, the extra time could be used for outreach and education in the community, Moura wrote in his recommendation. The Belmont City Council is also discussing participating in the countywide review process for single-use carryout bag ordinance at its Tuesday night meeting. The San Carlos City Council meets 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 13 at City Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.

WED

State Building and ColinCowieWeddings.com. Vega began searching for ideas after the pair became engaged in August. She has always been a fan of Colin Cowie, an authority in lifestyle and wedding planning, so when he announced the competition via Twitter, Vega went for it. Talking a week before they walked down the aisle, the two had so many things in store for them from interviews to learning which owers and rings people online had chosen for them. But it all started by dressing up in 2005. Costumes are something the couple enjoys since they met on Halloween. She was rocking an 80s look while he was ready to play Americas pastime as a player for the Chicago White Sox when the two met in San Francisco that year. Both traveling nurses, they were at the same party. Vega told a friend Masibay was cute but wasnt about to approach him. Theyve been together since making a connection. Settled in San Bruno, Masibay, a nurse, and Vega, a nurse practitioner, work in the Bay Area. Proposing wasnt a complete surprise

Vega drew the afternoon tea reception featuring a gray and light pink color theme and includes Dom Prignon and Godiva Chocolatier. Romance is the most important thing, Cowie said about creating the perfect wedding. The afternoon tea isnt the last stop for the newlyweds and their 40 guests. Vega and Masibay also set up an after party to really celebrate the occasion. In addition to the amazing wedding, the local couple has a chance to start off their marriage together with some cash $100,000. Following the wedding, albums and video of each ceremony will be posted online for the public to vote. The couple with the most votes will return to New York City to pick one of 15 envelopes. While each contains a prize, only one has the large cash prize. If they won, the cash would allow the couple to pay down school debt, save for a rainy day and do something nice for their family. To support Angela and Lubin visit www.Facebook.com/ColinCowieWeddin gs and vote.

The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. You may examine the file kept by the court.

Adele top winner with 6 Grammys


LOS ANGELES Adele, who captured the worlds heart with an album about a broken romance, emerged as the top winner at Sundays Grammy Awards, winning six trophies including the prestigious trifecta of record, song and album of the year. The singer, who also made a triAdele umphant comeback from vocal cord surgery on the Grammy stage, sobbed as she won the nights nal award, album of the year, for 21. It was last years top-selling album with more than six million copies sold and remains lodged at the No. 1 spot on this years charts. Her victories tied her with Beyonce as the most wins by a woman in one evening. Mom, gold is good! Adele shouted as she took the album of the year trophy. The celebration of Adele, a bigvoiced, soulful singer, came on a night where the Grammys marked the loss of one of musics great female voices and one of its most prized talents overall. Whitney Houston died the night before the Grammys, casting a shadow over musics biggest night. But while her death lent a somber overtone to the evenings show, it did not overwhelm it, perhaps best proved by the shows closing number, a rollicking jam session featuring Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and Dave Grohl among others. The nights other big winners were Grohls Foo Fighters, who won ve Grammys. They noted that they made their album Wasting Light in a garage. To me this award means a lot because it shows that the human element of making music is whats most important. Singing into a microphone, learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, thats the most important thing for people to do, Grohl said as the band accepted their best rock performance trophy for Walk. Its not about being perfect. Its not about sounding absolutely correct. Its not about what goes on in a computer. Its about what goes on in here (your heart) and what goes on here (your head). ... Long live rock n roll! But the evenings most moving moment came as Jennifer Hudson who has called Houston an inspiration and one of her biggest idols emerged to sing one of Houstons signature songs, I Will Always Love You. Dressed in black, with only the accompaniment of a piano, Hudson appeared to ght back tears as she sang the song, ending with the line, Whitney, we will always love you. The show started off on a somber note, as host LL Cool J appeared in black, and told the audience: There is no way around this. Weve had a death in our family. He then led the audience in prayer to our fallen sister. Heavenly father, we thank you for sharing our sister Whitney with us, he said, as celebrities like Lady Gaga and Miranda Lambert bowed their heads in prayer. Though she is gone too soon, we remain truly blessed to have been touched by her beautiful spirit.
