he season began with fans brawling in the stands, and a quarterback who didnt seem worth ghting for. But it didnt take long for players to rally behind the new coach with the unmistakable swagger. They believed him when he told them they were better than they thought, and rallied behind him when he broke NFL etiquette in a postgame handshake, then

The Hillsborough man accused of shooting his friend several times inside his parents pool house accepted a seven-year prison deal on voluntary manslaughter charges after prosecutors realized they might not prevail in a murder trial. Bradley Allen Kleiman, 31, also admitBradley ted using a gun in the death of Christopher Kleiman Calvache, admitted committing a serious felony and admitted having a prior prison sentence. In return, Kleiman is looking at a seven-year term when sentenced March 23 rather than up to 40 years to life in prison. Seven years doesnt seem like a lot of time for a homicide but in coming to those decisions you always have to consider the likelihood of success at jury trial and, as the pretrial motions progressed, it became more of a concern to us.

Good luck getting a jersey

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Hoping to curb illegal activity at the countys nearly two dozen massage establishments, county supervisors Tuesday will consider revamping its ordinance to align with state requirements and collect hundreds of dollars in inspection fees. Up for consideration is how the county regulates the men and women who offer massage services for payment. Like several Peninsula cities before it, the county is looking at a way to balance allowing legitimate businesses with not allowing those that are actually fronts for prostitution. I would say this is a problem in the county. We have made several arrests but unfortunately arresting one person at a par-

Thought for the Day

I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.
George Burns,American comedian (1896-1996)
This Day in History
1908
New York Citys Board of Aldermen passed an ordinance prohibiting women from smoking in public.
In 1648, Margaret Brent went before the Maryland colonial assembly to seek two votes in that body, one for herself as a landowner, the other as the legal representative of the absent Lord Baltimore; the assembly turned her down. In 1793, during the French Revolution, King Louis XVI, condemned for treason, was executed on the guillotine. In 1861, Jefferson Davis of Mississippi and four other Southerners whose states had seceded from the Union resigned from the U.S. Senate. In 1910, the Great Paris Flood began as the rain-swollen Seine River burst its banks, sending water into the French capital. In 1924, Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin died at age 53. In 1937, Count Basie and his band recorded One OClock Jump for Decca Records (on this date in 1942, they re-recorded the song for Okeh Records). In 1950, former State Department ofcial Alger Hiss, accused of being part of a Communist spy ring, was found guilty in New York of lying to a grand jury. (Hiss, who proclaimed his innocence, served less than four years in prison.) George Orwell (Eric Blair), author of Nineteen Eighty-Four, died in London at age 46. In 1954, the rst atomic submarine, the USS Nautilus, was launched at Groton, Conn. (However, the Nautilus did not make its rst nuclear-powered run until nearly a year later.) In 1968, the Battle of Khe Sanh began during the Vietnam War as North Vietnamese forces attacked a U.S. Marine base; the Americans were able to hold their position until the siege was lifted 2 1/2 months later. An American B-52 bomber carrying four hydrogen bombs crashed in Greenland, killing one crew member and scattering radioactive material. In 1977, President Jimmy Carter pardoned almost all Vietnam War draft evaders. In 1982, convict-turned-author Jack Henry Abbott was found

She will be remembered for putting her loved ones first, for above all, Dee Dee enjoyed the company of her family who loved her deeply. Dee Dee will be missed by all of her close friends at 7:30 Sunday mass at Saint Roberts Church. She is survived by her loving husband of 59 years Sherman; her children Karen Heaney Hook, Kevin (Yvonne), Dennis (Marie) and Ann Heaney; her precious grandchildren Elizabeth, Thomas, Joey, Gregory and Carolyn, her sisters Theresa Zlatunich, Jeannie Froeming, Rita Larson (Glen) and many nieces and nephews. A memorial mass will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 28 at Saint Roberts Church, 1380 Crystal Springs Road, San Bruno. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Anthonys Padua Dining Room, 3500 Middlefield Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025 or Sophies Scholar Fund, Sacred Heart Schools, 150 Valparaiso Ave. Atherton, CA 94027.
An 11-year-old girl who was kidnapped at gunpoint from a home in San Jose was found safe Friday afternoon and police shot and killed the man who kidnapped her early Friday morning. Taylor Vo was safely located at about 12:15 p.m. in the 3400 block of Pistachio Drive, police Sgt. Jason Dwyer said. Thats where SWAT ofcers tracked her captor, 42-year-old Tri Truong Le, the man who police said abducted Taylor from a home in the 2600 block of Taffy Drive. She is the daughter of Les ex-girlfriend. A confrontation occurred between ofcers and Le at the apartment complex, Dwyer said. He said Le stood at a bedroom window with an arm around Taylor and began ring at the ofcers as they approached. At this point they believed that the hostages life was in clear and imminent danger and they decided to force entry into the residence and
rescue the hostage, Dwyer said. Police forced entry into the residence and Le continued to shoot at the ofcers while holding Taylor hostage. An ofcer returned re and fatally struck Le. It was a very difcult Tri Truong Le problem for the SWAT ofcers to solve, because anytime that you have an innocent person between the suspect and the ofcers ... we have to be factoring in the safety of the hostage, said Dwyer. Taylor was taken to a hospital, but was not harmed, Dwyer said. He said it is not yet known how the two locations are connected and where Le took Taylor overnight. He said police are investigating the motive behind the kidnapping. A statewide Amber Alert issued after the
abduction was canceled once Taylor was found safe. At about 1:20 a.m. Friday, Le forced his way into the residence and assaulted a family member before ring several shots inside the home, police said. No one inside the house was struck by the gunre, police said. Le then went into Taylors bedroom and took her from the home at gunpoint, police said. Police said Les criminal history included domestic violence and driving under the inuence. Todays events really underscore the dangers of police work, Dwyer said Friday. The ofcers were faced with a pretty daunting challenge in that they entered a fairly small apartment, had a close quarters gun battle with an armed suspect who was holding a hostage and they actually were able to free the hostage without any ofcers getting hurt and without the hostage getting shot.
Suspected drug dealer from squalid house to trial

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A suspected methamphetamine dealer arrested after county law enforcement swarmed a suspected San Carlos drug house so squalid a building inspector deemed it uninhabitable will stand trial after waiving a preliminary hearing on the evidence. Edward Joseph Alves, 47, of Redwood City, has pleaded not guilty to several felonies but declined the hearing, moving instead straight toward a jury trial. He will enter a Superior Court plea and pick a trial date Feb. 3. Alves was one of three people arrested at the Greenwood Avenue home after police received several complaints last March about suspected drug dealing. Authorities found the three individuals in the home along with a 5-year-old child, eight pit bulls and a signicant amount
of animal waste. Sarah Jane DiLorenzo, 25, the other suspect charged by prosecutors, pleaded no contest to felony methamphetamine sales and misdemeanor child endangerment charges in June in return for six months jail and three years supervised probation. Soon after receiving tips about the home on the 1500 block of Greenwood Avenue, the San Mateo County Narcotics Task Force monitored the household and, between May and June 2 011, an undercover informant arranged several covert buys of crystal methamphetamine from DiLorenzo, according to the Sheriffs Ofce. At one sale, DiLorenzo told the informant her drug source had not arrived. Shortly after, Alves reportedly appeared and placed an item in a dresser. DiLorenzo retrieved the item and gave the informant the requested drugs. At
another, DiLorenzos 5-year-old daughter was present at the sale. On June 1, the informant asked for more methamphetamine and drug agents watching the home reported seeing Alves visit briey. The agents pulled Alves over and reported nding in his truck two ounces of methamphetamine. A search of the Greenwood home turned up methamphetamine, packing materials, pay-owe sheets and sales paraphernalia. A San Carlos building inspector called to the scene labeled the home uninhabitable due to the unsanitary conditions while authorities arrested DiLorenzo, Alves and another 22year-old female occupant. Alves remains free from custody on a $80,000 bond. At the time of arrest, he had three prior felony convictions from 1991 and 1995.

State jobless rate dips to lowest level since 2009

City makes time for family

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
SACRAMENTO Californias unemployment rate dipped slightly in December to 11.1 percent, its lowest rate since 2009, the state reported Friday. The rate is two-tenths of a percentage point drop from November. Ofcials with the state Employment Development Department said the steady drop in the ofcial jobless rate was a sign of gradual improvement in Californias economy. Its pretty denitive if you look at the year over how far weve come, department spokesman Kevin Callori said. Its denitely quite a reversal. Californias unemployment rate last fell below 11 percent in April 2009, when it was 10.9 percent. Nonfarm payroll jobs increased by 10,700 in December, for a total gain of 240,300 jobs in 2011. December marked the fourth consecutive month in which the employment rate has dropped, a period during which it declined a full percentage point and the state gained 112,300 payroll jobs.

Occupy protesters block banks in San Francisco

By Terry Collins
SAN FRANCISCO At least 19 people were arrested Friday during an anti-Wall Street protest in downtown San Francisco, mostly for blocking an entrance at a banks corporate headquarters. The midday arrests came as hundreds of protesters gathered in the rain attempting to disrupt business in the citys nancial district as part of Occupy Wall Street-related demonstrations scheduled around the country demanding that banks end evictions and foreclosures. Police arrested 18 people for tres-
passing, including a group that refused to move their human chain blocking an entrance to Well Fargos headquarters, said Ofcer Albie Esparza, a police spokesman. Another person was arrested for apparently being in possession of a police baton after a brief clash with ofcers. Its a dynamic situation, said Cmdr. Richard Corriea, who was among the many police command staff monitoring the protests. Were going to facilitate First Amendment rights, but when public safety is put at risk, for instance blocking re exits, were going to repeatedly ask them to move, leave
or make arrests. A spokesman for Wells Fargo said that the bank is doing its part to help those facing nancial hardships. We understand that Americans are demanding more from their financial institutions during this economic recovery, spokesman Ruben Pulido said. As police in riot gear and private security guards tried chasing off protesters, many spilled onto the streets, often causing trafc to be rerouted or come to a standstill. Two cable cars came to a grinding halt as protesters took over an intersection.
Los Angelescourt protest held after Supreme Court ruling

LOS ANGELES Several dozen people have rallied at a downtown Los Angeles federal courthouse to protest a U.S. Supreme Court decision that removed most limits on corporate and labor election funding. About 50 people gathered Friday on a patio at the Roybal

The event is one of several at courthouses around the country organized by the grass roots group Move to Amend. The protests are efforts to raise support for a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court decision.

Obama to press Congress to revisit $1.2T in cuts

By Andrew Tyalor
REUTERS
Barack Obama attends a campaign fund raiser at the Apollo Theater in New York.
WASHINGTON In its budget proposal next month, the Obama administration will urge lawmakers to revisit the failed attempt by a congressional supercommittee to cut the decit by at least $1.2 trillion, the White House says. The proposal runs counter to the common wisdom in Washington that any major decit reduction effort is unlikely in a presidential election year. Instead, lawmakers are focusing on a one-year extension of a payroll tax cut and supplemental jobless benets sought by the president as part of last falls jobs agenda. But also looming are sweeping across-the-board spending cuts required next year because of the supercommittee deadlock. Senior lawmakers like House Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard Buck McKeon, R-Calif., are focusing on a less ambitious one-
year plan to give the Pentagon a reprieve from cuts that both the administration and Republicans say would cripple the military. The White House plan, likely to reprise new taxes and fee proposals that are nonstarters with Capitol Hill Republicans, would turn off the entire nine-year, $1.2 trillion acrossthe-board spending cuts, referred to as a sequester. We have a sequester coming less than a year from now unless Congress acts, said a senior administration ofcial. Were going to ask Congress to do now what we think Congress should have done in December, which is enact more than $1.2 trillion in decit reduction, turn off the sequester and maintain the (spending caps). The ofcial required anonymity as a condition to speak to a reporter on the plan. That plan of budget cuts would be imposed under last summers budget and debt pact between Obama and
Congress that imposed $900 billion in savings from accounts appropriated by Congress each year and promised at least $1.2 trillion more from the work on the decit supercommittee, or, failing that, across-the-board cuts to a sweeping set of defense and domestic programs. The threat of the across-the-board cuts was supposed to prod the panel, but it never got on track and collapsed just before Thanksgiving over intractable differences on tax increases and cuts to popular programs like Medicare. The failure of the panel capped a long, difcult budget year in which the warring sides were only able to agree when facing either a shutdown of the government or an unthinkable default on U.S. obligations. Policymakers face the prospect of more gridlock this year as electionyear politics promise to even further cripple the already limited ability of Obama and Capitol Hill Republicans to work together.
Romney,Gingrich suddenly neck and neck

High court throws out Texas electoral maps
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court handed Texas Republicans a partial victory Friday, tossing a court-drawn electoral redistricting plan that favored minorities and Democrats but leaving the future of the states political maps - and possibly control of the U.S. House - in the hands of two federal courts with Texas April primaries looming. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ordered a threejudge court in San Antonio to craft a new map that pays more deference to one originally drawn up by Texas GOP-led Legislature. The immediate effect was to scrap the interim map the San Antonio court drafted that would have favored Democrats to pick up four new congressional seats Texas will add in 2012.
CHARLESTON, S.C. On the eve of a Southern showdown, Mitt Romney conceded Friday hes in a tight race with Newt Gingrich for Saturdays South Carolina primary in a Republican campaign suddenly turned turbulent. Its neck and neck, Romney declared, while a third presidential contender, former Sen. Rick Santorum, swiped at both men in hopes of springing yet another campaign surprise. Several days after forecasting a Romney victory in his state, Sen. Jim DeMint said the campaigns rst Southern primary was now a two-man race between the former
Massachusetts governor, who has struggled in recent days with questions about his personal wealth and taxes, and Gingrich, the Mitt Romney former House speaker who has been surging in polls after a pair of well-received debate performances. The stakes were high as Republicans sought a challenger to Democratic President Barack Obama. Television advertising by the candidates and their supporters exceeded $10 million here, much of it spent in the past two weeks, and mailboxes were stuffed with cam-
paign yers. In a bit of home-state boosterism, DeMint said the primary winner was likely to be the next president of the Newt Gingrich United States. Indeed, the winner of the states primary has gone on to capture the Republican nomination each year since 1980. A victory by Romney would place him in a commanding position heading into the Florida primary on Jan. 31. He and an organization supporting him are already airing television ads in that state, which is one of the countrys
costliest in which to campaign. If the former Massachusetts governor stumbles in South Carolina, it could portend a long, drawn-out battle for the nomination stretching well into spring and further expose rifts inside the party between those who want a candidate who can defeat Obama more than anything else, and those whose strong preference is for a solid conservative. Romney sounded anything but condent as he told reporters that in South Carolina, I realize that I had a lot of ground to make up and Speaker Gingrich is from a neighboring state, well known, popular ... and frankly to be in a neck-andneck race at this last moment is kind of exciting.

OPINION
Brown offers a plan to blow upthe boxes

Santa Rosa Press Democrat
Other voices
Brown also targeted a long list of boards and commissions for elimination, including the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board a part-time job with a six-gure salary that has been a popular landing spot for termedout legislators. Other panels on the governors hit list include the Commission on the Status of Women, the 9-1-1 Advisory Board, the Electronic Funds Transfer Task Force, the Public Safety Radio Strategic Planning Committee, the state Geology and Mining Board and a host of advisory panels in the Department of Fish and Game. Proposing these and other cuts is one thing, getting them through the Legislature is a very different challenge. Just ask Arnold Schwarzenegger. Every governor proposes moving boxes around to reorganize government, Schwarzenegger said in his rst State of the State Address. I dont want to move boxes around I want
onald Reagan once said that a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life well ever see on this earth. Gov. Jerry Brown is challenging that notion. Browns state budget plan would eliminate or consolidate 50 state programs, agencies and commissions. He also wants to cut the state payroll by 3,000 employees. The states current organizational structure lacks sense and cohesion, he said in the budget summary, adding that his plan makes government less costly and more efcient, more sensible and easier to manage effectively. Among other things, Brown wants to reduce the number of cabinet agencies from 12 to 10, combine revenue collecting functions in a single department, merge the Corporations and Financial Institutions departments and eliminate the Mental Health and Alcohol and Drug departments, folding their responsibilities into other health and social service programs.
to blow them up. Sufce it to say, there werent a lot of pyrotechnics during Schwarzeneggers tenure. Brown, however, has had some success. He eliminated several programs, including the state Postsecondary Education Commission and local redevelopment agencies in his 2011-12 budget. We applaud Browns efforts to consolidate state government, although we acknowledge that the potential savings are relatively small. Four programs K-12 education, colleges and universities, corrections and health and welfare account for 89.4 percent of general fund spending. The programs and agencies that Brown would cut or combine are a small part of the rest. But his proposal is an exercise in setting priorities, as are his proposed cuts in welfare and corrections. Eliminating low-priority programs blowing up some boxes, so to speak might make voters more willing to approve the temporary sales and income tax increases that Brown wants to avoid another round of cuts for schools.

Letters to the editor

Blaming the rich
Editor, Charles Tooth has it right in his guest perspective, Attacks on the rich in the Jan. 17 edition of the Daily Journal. I can only add that capitalism has and does feed more people than any social program ever has. Most of the media and the Obamalouges want you to believe that rich people ruined the country. Theyd also like you to believe that, as if by magical conscation, the form of asking the rich to pay a little more will one day give the country economic solvency. This is preposterous because the federal government does most everything badly and wants to blame past administrations for their addiction to spending. Yes, the fact is, all previous administrations overspent what they took in and now were told it is the rich peoples fault. So, we send people to Washington to serve and what do they do? They enrich themselves with insider trading, land deals and cronyism that would send people like you and me to prison. If they even leave Washington at all, they leave as rich people. So you can ask yourself this: who are the real crooks? Do you think they are going to pay a little more?
Debate debacle
Editor, When John King tried to blindside Newt Gingrich, it blew up in his face. Whether you like Newt Gingrich or not, he is not one to run from a fight. What was demonstrated was media bias. King in an interview afterword claimed he knew that Gingrich would attack him. That is hard to believe based on the response from the audience. The audience nearly booed King off the stage. Does anyone believe that he expected that response? I dont think so.
Keith C. De Filippis San Jose
Blind might
Editor, In his New Hampshire victory speech, Mitt Romney emphasized the importance he would put on keeping the U.S. militarily strong. He declared that hed aim to keep our military so strong that no one would dare attack us! Oh really? Has he already forgotten 9/11, when a handful of virgin-hunting martyrs armed with box cutters were able to hijack our airplanes and do irrepara-
ble harm to our nation, despite our military strength? What does military might mean unless backed up by intelligence and common sense, with competent people in charge, regardless of political affiliation (or sexual orientation, for that matter). The terror attacks on that fateful day were totally predictable and preventable, and there was no shortage of military might. Instead, we compounded the disaster by using overwhelming fire power to attack two countries that had nothing to do with the attacks. Meanwhile, Republicans claimed Bush kept us safe by sending our soldiers over there, where they were blown apart by the tens of thousands. So much for keeping us safe. Instead of more smart bombs, we need more smart minds. Instead of setting other countries on fire, we need to set a better example, which the world needs more than blind might. Instead of instilling fear, lets give the world reason to support and trust us. Any takers among the Republican hopefuls?

HOSE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES: In a letter in our Thursday, Jan. 12, 2012, edition, Mr. Vince Boston justiably lauded an opinion letter from Kent Lauder and concluded with: What a relief from the tiresome, endless, ideological rants of Keith The Old Commie Kreitman. I cried a bit at that but found some comfort from reading some inspiring passages from Karl Marxs Das Kapital. But I was intrigued by his use of the description rant. Since I havent forgotten the line written 40 years ago by Sydney Harris: People write their own autobiographies with their criticisms, I dug into our newspapers archives and found Mr. Bostons last previous letter: High-speed rail yet again Jan. 9, 2012. Editor. This paper has printed a wide variety of erudite and thoughtful opinions on high-speed rail. Please allow me to continue this ongoing debate by providing a non-erudite opinion: Shoot high-speed rail in the head with the proverbial silver bullet. Then drive a stake through its heart. Next, cut the head from the body and bury in two different places. Then, just to be sure, after one year dig up the body and head and separately cremate them. Finally, scatter the ashes into our beautiful San Francisco Bay. Vince Boston, San Mateo. Thank you so much, Mr. Boston, for showing this Old Commie such a persuasive example of non-rant prose. But, it does bring to mind the old saw: People who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones! DISPATCHES FROM THE OLD COMMIE: If my faithful, Commie followers recall, I have often written about the folly of our Iraq invasion and our programs of nation building embedded in the most recent of our manuals of military operations. I was certain, after an unforgivable loss of many of our young American troops to death and crippling wounds, once we pulled out, democracy there would dissolve and ancient hatreds would pick up again where we interrupted them. It gives me no great pleasure in being right. The Shiites are replacing Husseins Sunnis as the tyrants. Just follow the media to nd how close they are to civil war. I guess, because I write a column, people keep asking me about who I think will win the presidential election, even though its still nine months away. Well, my predictions are based on history, not what I would like. Old Will Rogers hit it on the head, rendering what is riveting the nations attention in the Republican primary debates inconsequential. Every guy just looks in his own pocket and then votes. And the funny part of it is that its the last year of an administration that counts. A president can have three bad ones and then wind up with everybody having money in the fourth, and the incumbent will win so far ahead he neednt even stay up to hear the returns. Conditions win elections, not speeches. The tendency to hate particular elected leaders for forcing programs on to the nation is all wrong. In our voting democracy, no leaders are capable of permanently forcing major social programs on the people. They get elected or rejected by the will of the people. So, the nation has been ratcheting left with great regularity over many electoral cycles. Just try to take away what Congress hath given at the will of the voters in past elections. As I have written a number of times, cutting sounds real good to voters until they nd out they are among the ones whose social, educational and civic services are proposed for cutting. Do the Republicans really believe, by appealing and catering to the most extremely conservative voters in their party to nail down the nomination for the presidency, they are building up voter support for the general election? Do they really believe their only opposition will be the usual suspects, the poor, the disheartened African Americans, the disenchanted, radical intellectuals, aky liberals and a small swath of the middle class? If so, they expect success by putting in effect voter qualication hurdles that disenfranchise as many of the above as possible. Do they really believe they will have the support of the bulk of the shrinking middle class, who have had so much already taken away from them during the past three decades and the Great Recession, when they propose taking more away? Even if these hate Obama, theyre not going to vote against their own interests. The only way for this country to survive and prosper is for them to abandon their primary goal of destroying Obama and genuinely cooperate in bipartisan, loyal American initiatives to realistically address the obvious lethal problems that face the nation. That is if both parties are able to divest themselves of the current power of the moneyed class to direct and control elections.

direction and its bolstered the market, Fantozzi said. The S&P getting over 1,300 this week is a nice sign. Google lost 8.4 percent after its earnings per share fell a dollar short of analysts estimates. The misre stemmed from an 8 percent drop in prices that the Internet search giant charges advertisers for each click. Googles drop tugged the Nasdaq composite index lower. It fell 1.63 points to 2,786.70. Even though high-prole companies such as Google and JPMorgan Chase have posted disappointing earnings results in the past week, the trend is moving in the opposite direction. Of the 60 companies in the S&P index that have reported earnings so far, 62 percent have beaten estimates, according to John Butters, senior earnings analyst at FactSet Research. In another sign that traders were becoming more willing to take on risk, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note crossed above 2 percent for the rst time in two weeks. The yield, a widely used benchmark for corporate and consumer borrowing, had inched lower since early December as traders parked money in the safest of assets.
Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Friday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE Treehouse Foods Inc.,down $6.10 at $56.76 The maker of canned soup,instant oatmeal and powdered coffee creamer said warm weather drove down sales volumes in December. International Business Machines Corp., up $8 at $188.52 The tech companys fourth-quarter earnings beat Wall Streets expectations on higher revenue from its software and services unit. CoreLogic Inc.,up 65 cents at $14.43 The data aggregator expects to report betterthan-anticipated results for 2011, citing cost cuts and a rise in mortgage lending. Capital One Financial Corp., down $2.74 at $46.03 The bank said that its net income fell 41 percent in the fourth quarter as expenses for marketing and operations rose sharply. Nasdaq Google Inc.,down $53.58 at $585.99 The Internet search company said earnings growth slowed in the fourth quarter.Its results were way below analysts expectations. Fifth Third Bancorp,down 39 cents at $13.17 The regional banking companys fourth-quarter net income rose 13 percent, but analysts had expected slightly stronger growth. Microsoft Corp.,up $1.59 at $29.71 Despite a weak PC market, the technology companys earnings beat expectations thanks to higher sales of servers and Xbox games. NCI Inc.,down $3.66 at $7.80 The government contractor said it expects lower earnings and revenue in 2012 due to uncertainty over its federal contracts.
NEW YORK IBM and Microsoft drove the Dow Jones industrial average higher Friday after the tech giants reported stronger earnings than analysts expected. Microsoft said sales of Xbox games and Ofce software helped push revenue up in the last quarter of 2011. IBM credited better sales of software and services and raised its earnings outlook for the year. Microsoft rose 6 percent and IBM rose 4 percent. The Dow rose 96.50 points to close at 12,720.48. Thats a gain of 0.8 percent. Without the huge gains in IBM and Microsoft, the Dow would have risen just 24 points. The S&P 500 index inched up 0.88 to 1,315.38. Both the Dow and S&P ended the week with gains of more than 2 percent. Plenty of things are going right, said Frank Fantozzi, CEO of Planned Financial Services, an independent wealth manager in Cleveland.

Home sales up at end of dismal year

By Derek Kravitz
WASHINGTON Home sales in December reached their highest pace in nearly a year. The gain coincided with other signs that the troubled housing market improved at the end of last year. Analysts cautioned that sales remain historically low and that it will take years for the home market to return to full health. Still, the third straight monthly sales increase was encouraging. And economists noted that conditions are in place for further gains this year: Prices have declined. Mortgage rates have never been lower. Homebuilders are slightly more hopeful because more people are saying they might be open to buying this year. And home construction picked up in the nal quarter of last year.
Theres no denying that home sales are still very low and will remain low for a few years, said Paul Dales, an economist with Capital Economics. But after having risen in each of the last three months ... it is clear that a housing recovery is now well under way. Sales of previously occupied homes rose 5 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.61 million in December, the National Association of Realtors said Friday. Its the best level since January 2011. For all of 2011, sales totaled only 4.26 million. Thats up slightly from 4.19 million in the previous year. But its far below the 6 million that economists equate with healthy housing markets. In 2005, at the peak of the boom, 7.1 million homes were sold. Hiring has improved, which is critical to a housing rebound. Fewer people
sought unemployment benets last week than at any time in nearly four years, evidence of far fewer layoffs. The unemployment rate fell in December to its lowest level in nearly three years. With layoffs slowing sharply, hiring rising and consumers confidence rebounding, the pre-conditions for a sustained recovery are falling into place, said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist for High Frequency Economics. Sales and starts will keep rising; prices should stabilize, more or less. The median sales price of a previously occupied home ticked up 0.3 percent from November to December to $164,500. The supply of homes has declined, though its still historically high at 2.38 million. At last months sales pace, it would take nearly seven months to clear those homes.
Compromise boosts prospects for FAA bill passage

By Joan Lowy
WASHINGTON Lawmakers reached a compromise Friday that toughens the rules airline and railroad workers must follow to hold union elections, boosting prospects for passage of a longterm funding plan for the Federal Aviation Administration, congressional aides said. The compromise negotiated primarily between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio was the most contentious of a handful of unresolved issues holding up passage of an FAA
bill. The issue was partly responsible for a standoff between Senate Democrats and House Republicans last summer that led to a two-week partial shutdown of the FAA, including the furlough of nearly 4,000 workers. The Republican-controlled House was insisting the FAA bill include language to overturn a 2010 National Mediation Board ruling allowing airline workers to form a union by a simple majority of those who voted in the election. Prior to that, workers who didnt vote were treated as no votes, making it possible for a union to lose an election even with the support of a majority of those voting.
With Democrats adamant that the boards ruling must stand, Republicans dropped their demand in exchange for concessions that are likely to be less troublesome to labor. The compromise reached Friday would require that 50 percent of a companys workers indicate support for holding an election to form a new union before a vote can be held. Currently, the threshold is a 35 percent show of support usually by workers signing cards in order to hold an election. Many unions wont go ahead with an election without a 50 percent show of support, anyway, Democrats said.
Zynga mulls online gambling market

SAN FRANCISCO Zynga, the social game company known for FarmVille and Zynga Poker, is mulling a new market online gambling. Zynga Inc. conrmed Friday that it is in active talks with potential partners. San Francisco-based Zynga says it is speaking to the potential partners in order to better understand and explore the opportunity in online gambling involving real money.
Business briefs
The companys Zynga Poker title is the worlds largest online poker game. Zynga says seven million people play every day and 30 million do so each month. That game, however, is played with fake money. The talks come in the heels of a recent ruling by the U.S. Justice Department, which found that in-state Internet gambling does not violate federal law. Zyngas talks were rst reported by the tech blog AllThingsD.
GE expects 2012 to be another volatile year

NEW YORK General Electric Co. is bracing for another volatile year. The global conglomerate expects to see emerging markets from China to South America continue to grow while Europe falls into a recession. Its own results are also telling two different stories: Fourth-quarter profit improved when the results of sold-off businesses are excluded. But revenue fell short of Wall Streets expectations, partly because of a slowdown in Europe.

Stephens, Chenoweth lead Bearcats charge

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The San Mateo girls basketball team played like a squad with two personalities Friday night against Half Moon Bay. There was the team from quarters one through three that struggled offensively, going 14-of-50 from the eld, while allowing the Cougars to shoot 44 percent from the oor en route to a 38-32 lead. And then there was the Bearcats team that showed up in the fourth quarter the one that held Half Moon Bay to a single point, erasing
that decit and capturing a 44-39 win. Thats the team that head coach Nancy Dinges likes the most. We just have to nd a way to put four quarters together, Dinges said. We have the opportunity to be a very good team. We didnt do that tonight. But this team believes in each other, they trust each other. This was just one of those games where we couldnt put it together. Fortunately for the Bearcats, they put it together when it mattered the most. And as the box score will tell you, it began with their defense.
Half Moon Bay shot 66 percent from the oor in the third period. But, behind the stellar play of Candace Stephens, who sparked the dormant San Mateo offense with a trio of steals to begin the fourth quarter, the Bearcats surged ahead and stayed there. Up until that point, the Bearcats looked like a team that couldnt buy a bucket. Down 14-9 to begin the second quarter, San Mateo wouldnt hit a shot until the 4:16 mark of the second. And by then they found themselves down 19-11. Nicole Chenoweth helped the Bearcats recover somewhat and they were down only four come half-time.
But it was more frigid shooting for San Mateo in the third quarter. Alana Simon wasnt her typical self. The junior guard struggled from the oor, going only 3-of-13 from the eld in the second half. Our other girls stepped up, Dinges said. Nicole Chenoweth played great defense and Candace sparked our offense with her defensive play. Thats what good teams do; they have players who step up. Half Moon Bay was razor-sharp in the third quarter with a balanced attack. While San

Niners brace for some rain

SANTA CLARA Offensive lineman Adam Snyder and 49ers special teams standout Blake Costanzo sat side by side in outdoor ice tubs, each sporting a beanie to keep his head warm while playing with their respective cellphones. I dont know why they do that outside, torture, rookie fullback Bruce Miller quipped Friday after observing the duo on one of the colder days this winter. Those are Jim Harbaughs kind of guys, tough to the core, ice in their veins. He wants his players ready for whatever weather comes this weekend cold, rain and wind. The only thing we have to fear is being unprepared, Harbaugh said Friday. Harbaugh hoped for precipitation this week, and he got it just not enough to satisfy the San Francisco coach who wanted his team to practice on a soggy eld ahead of Sundays

Defensive masterpiece
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With a combined record of 5-0-4, the showdown between San Mateo and Sequoia on Friday night marked the rst huge matchup in Peninsula Athletic League boys soccer play. Perhaps what made it bigger was the surprise-element before the season started, the Bearcats and Cherokees were relative unknowns in the tough Bay Division. But if theres one thing that is crystal clear now, its that the Bearcats can play some pretty great defense on the soccer pitch. It was that commitment to defense that sparked their 2-0 win over Sequoia. And not just that, but the San Mateo D left one heck of an impression on Cherokees head coach Julio Calles.
I thought we were the best team putting pressure up top. But San Mateo proved to me that theyre the best now.
Julio Calles,Sequoia boyssoccer coach
I thought we were the best team putting pressure up top, Calles said. But San Mateo proved to me that theyre the best now. That was the reason why they won. The pressure they put up top is amazing. Its amazing. Those kids ran 100 percent. San Mateo put a lot of pressure, a lot of heart. Big time. They came to play. Throughout this whole week, we focused on defense, said San Mateo defender Salvador Gomez. Defense is what win games, forwards sell tickets, like everyone says. Sequoia is a strong team. But we have
condence and we never gave up. San Mateos defense is worth the prize of admission. From Gomez on the left wing, to Andrew Kwoka and Kent Turtletaub at the heart and players like Benny Angeles supporting from a mideld position their organization and movement as a team would make any soccer purist proud. What killed us today was their play on the wings, Calles said. San Mateo has a lot of speed up top. And besides their speed, they
SANTA CLARA With a record-setting day and the winning touchdown in his playoff debut, Vernon Davis left no doubt he is indeed a winner. A weeping Davis fell into the arms of coach Jim Harbaugh, who repeated over and over: You did it! You did it! You did it! Its been more than three years since the young, volatile tight end Vernon Davis got booted from the sideline and sent to the locker room early by Mike Singletary. Davis then became the focus of the coachs now infamous I want winners rant following a 34-13 loss to Seattle. I was looking at him like hes crazy, Davis recalled this week. How could you send your

can we do that? By getting better every day. Thats a coaching cliche, of course. Means nothing unless the players buy in. They did. Even after taking a drubbing in their rst exhibition game against the Saints. Even after a bizarre Monday night stadium blackout. And even after losing to Harbaughs own brother a loss the 49ers just may have a chance to avenge in the Super Bowl should they and the Ravens win on Sunday. What probably sealed it was the way Harbaugh celebrated in October when the 49ers went to Detroit and beat the Lions. He infuriated Lions coach Jim Schwartz afterward with a slap instead of a handshake. When he refused to back down afterward, it drew the team together even more. Apologies to me always seem like excuses, Harbaugh said. Getting better every day meant the 49ers had a chance to compete with the high-powered Saints. Believing in themselves meant they had a chance to pull off a comeback with a play that brought ashbacks of Joe Montana hitting Dwight Clark in the end zone with The Catch nearly 30 years ago to the day and beating Dallas for a berth in the Super Bowl. Vernon Davis came off the eld and fell into Harbaughs arms bawling like a baby after making The Grab to nish off the Saints. And Craig wasnt the only one to notice there were tears of joy in the stands at Candlestick, too. Veterans from the glory days of the franchise are surprised how quickly it all happened. But they like what theyre seeing. We have been at on our back for a

while and weve been seeing this roulette of coaches and general managers and players, and youre in that awful place where you are just in a cycle that you cant seem to get out of, former 49ers quarterback Steve Young said Wednesday. We thought it would be a much longer journey. Its been an amazing, literally unprecedented, (but) its not overnight. Its been a six-month march of building substance behind substance behind substance which makes them a legitimate championship football team. Young, who was the MVP of the last San Francisco Super Bowl win in 1995, said Smiths struggles in his rst six years with the team came not only because he found himself playing for a different offensive coordinator every year but because he was being counted on to carry the team. He said he talked to Smith this week and the quarterback - who brought the team together for informal practices during the lockout feels as if hes nally in sync with his coaches. He always seemed like he was carrying the load of everything, which was not necessarily true, or appropriate, Young said. And now, he describes it as, look, I feel that Im doing less, but you now see on the eld hes doing way more. Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice put it more simply: I think it was Harbaugh, but I think it came down to this team taking over, these players starting to believe in themselves, Rice said. You see that on the football eld. They believe when they step on that eld they can win the football game. When (former coach) Mike Singletary had this team, I didnt see that.

refused to apologize for it. Guys began hitting the way Ronnie Lott once did. Alex Smith became a serviceable quarterback, though until Saturday no one was comparing him to Joe Montana. Now The Grab competes with The Catch. Winners of just six games all last season, the San Francisco 49ers are just a win away from the Super Bowl. And fans are so giddy after an improbable shootout win over the Saints, you would think Jerry Garcia came back to bring the Grateful Dead to life again. Ive never seen the stadium like that, even in the years I played, said Roger Craig, the running back who helped the 49ers win three Super Bowls in the 1980s. I dont remember the stadium being that loud. People were so happy, fans were even crying. It was just amazing. Credit much of that to a coach so supremely condent in his abilities to lead football players that he walked away from a sure bet at Stanford to step into a very unsure situation in San Francisco. Yes, the $25 million the 49ers dangled in front of Jim Harbaugh was incentive enough, but the chance to prove himself as an NFL coach, just like his older brother, had to be big, too. Not by the end of his ve-year contract. Right away. There was no ve-year plan or three-year plan, Harbaugh said this week. It was lets win this year. How
WET
NFC championship game against the New York Giants. Costanzo and Snyder want their bodies to be as fresh as possible for any challenging situation on the eld or with the eld Sunday. Its the only way to get by. Week 20, Costanzo said. Rite of passage, keep your legs fresh, added Snyder. Safeties Dashon Goldson and Donte Whitner stretched and warmed up while sporting hats of their own, Goldsons oppy black cap covering his braids and bouncing from side to side as he skipped across the eld to loosen his limbs. More rain was in the forecast in the Bay Area, and the 49ers pulled out the cold-weather clothing before working out in chilly conditions with a stiff wind Friday. Harbaugh expects the eld at Candlestick Park to be in good shape considering the grass was replaced before the teams Monday Night game Dec. 19 against the Steelers. Running back Frank Gore sure hopes thats the case. He has some extra incentive going against the Giants after his franchise-record streak of ve straight games with 100 yards rushing ended with a knee injury and his rst career game with zero yards in the Niners 27-20 home win Nov. 13. As players playing on a wet eld we dont like it, he said. But if we have to, Frank Gore weve got to go out there and do it. The 49ers have been game-planning all week with the idea of facing poor conditions. You try to play the game in your head all week and when you have bad weather, you just picture that eld all mudded up, offensive coordinator Greg Roman said. You start going through contingencies in your mind. Theres no doubt, you have to. I think the receivers probably have an advantage on the defensive backs because they know where theyre going and the defensive backs have to react. So, if the footing is poor, the advantage is for the offense. On the same token, though, running backs cant hit a hole or cant make a cut that they usually would, so advantage defense. I think it works both ways.
DAVIS
rst-round draft pick to the locker room? I understood, I understood the reason why, because I was hurting the team. Penalties and missed assignments, things like that. It will kill the team. These days, Davis is playing for a new coach, and playing for a Super Bowl berth. The 49ers (14-3) have him and quarterback Alex Smith, of course to thank for getting them to Sundays NFC championship game against the New York Giants (11-7) at Candlestick Park. Hes a different man, running back Frank Gore said. He grew up. Davis capped his spectacular afternoon last Saturday with a leaping 14-yard touchdown catch under pressure with 9 seconds remaining as San Francisco stunned Drew Brees and the favored New Orleans Saints 36-32. Little Duke, as he was known growing up his Dad, Vernon, was Big Duke had done it on the NFLs big stage at last. Davis wound up with seven catches for 180 yards the most yards receiving by a tight end in a playoff game. As Davis cried on the bench in an emotion-lled moment afterward, teammate Michael Crabtree approached with a oneword compliment: Superman! Superman! This is the same player who not so long ago was known for scufing in practice and trash-talking opponents at every chance. Defenders would purposely try to bait him. Hes so much better about not getting kind of emotionally hijacked, Smith said Friday. Before the start of the 2010 season, Davis let Crabtree have it in front of the entire team. He angrily confronted the 2009 10th overall draft pick during a practice and Singletary had to step between them before the three of them headed to the locker room to chat. Davis said later he was doing his job as a team captain a title Singletary gave him after watching the tight end grow up before his eyes. Davis, who turns 28 on Jan. 31, didnt always agree with the coach. After that Seahawks game in October 2008, Singletary fumed: I would rather play with 10 people and just get penalized all the way until we have to do something else rather than play with 11 when I know that right now that person is not sold out to be a part of this team. It is more about them than it is about the team. Cannot play with them, cannot win with them, cannot coach with them. Cant do it. I want winners. I want people that want to win. Davis looks back on that moment now with appreciation and realizes its importance in where he is today. He grew from that experience, changed his attitude, and he appreciates Singletary for calling him out. Davis insists thats what it took for him to get back on track.

PAL
Mateo was able to hit a few more baskets, it was the Cougars efciency that helped them increase their lead come the fourth period. It was then that Chenoweth took over playing some tight defense on the perimeter. With 5:36 left, a steal and subsequent basket tied
the game at 38. Moments later, No. 12 did it again and San Mateo took the lead and never gave it back. They know our offense comes from our defense, Dinges said. And we nally got that spark. It was our defense that started our offense and that comes from keeping our hands up and staying low. Chenoweth led all scorers with 22 points, picking up the slack for a struggling Simon who was held scoreless in the rst half and nished with six.

Hills shot sinks Dubs

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OAKLAND George Hill scored on a three-point play with 1.8 seconds remaining and the Indiana Pacers held off a late charge by Golden State to beat the Warriors 94-91 on Friday night. Hill stole the ball from Monta Ellis, who had beaten the Pacers exactly one year and one day ago with a last-second shot, then raced the length of the oor for a layup. Hill was fouled by Stephen Curry Monta Ellis and made the free throw for the nal margin. Golden State called a quick timeout and got the ball to Curry coming out of the break, but his 29-footer at the buzzer bounced off the back of the rim. Danny Granger had 26 points, and Roy Hibbert added 10 points and a career-high 16 rebounds for Indiana, which has won four of ve. The Pacers (10-4) are off to their best start since opening the 2003-04 season 13-1. Ellis nished with 25 points and six assists, while Curry had 12 points in his rst game in more than two weeks for Golden State. Indiana had dropped four straight games on the road at Oracle Arena before Hills late heroics. Hill, who also blocked a 3-point attempt by Ellis at the end of the rst quarter, nished with 14 points.

Unruly NFC Championship fans face ouster from game

SAN FRANCISCO Dont yell obscenities, dont ip the bird and dont even think about insulting anyones mother. The San Francisco 49ers and the NFL have adopted extraordinary security measures for Sundays NFC championship against the New York Giants after New Orleans Saints fans complained of harassment by unruly 49ers faithful last week. Undercover police will be dressed in Giants garb and on the lookout for nasty fans. Giants ticketholders will be handed a card as they enter Candlestick Park with details on how to contact police if they feel threatened. And more security cam-
eras and undercover police ofcers will be in place to identify abusive fans. Season ticketholders have also been warned to follow the NFL Fan Code of Conduct: no foul or abusive language or obscene gestures and no verbal or physical abuse of opposing team fans. The nail-biting 36-32 win last Saturday for the 49ers was the teams rst playoff game in nine
years, and a raucous crowd was on hand to enjoy the victory at the expense of the Saints. I apologize for any rudeness that may have happened, San Francisco 49ers president and CEO Jed York said. I think you saw 49ers fans who were very excited about hosting a playoff game for the rst time in a long time. Those fans were so excited that they ruined the day for a shaken Don Moses and his two teenage daughters. Moses, a longtime Bay Area resident who is from New Orleans, said they were wearing the Saints colors and prepared for some good-natured ribbing. Instead, he tells a horror story of fear and humiliation when his
daughters asked him why he didnt do anything to stop the hulking 49ers fans who yelled vulgarities and threw footballs at them, screamed in their faces and called their mother a whore. The hostility and threats of violence were a constant throughout our experience, Moses said in a letter to the San Francisco Chronicle, one that launched some soul-searching by city ofcials and led to some 49ers fans to apologize on behalf of their city. Every other word from dozens of fans around us was an f-bomb shouted at the top of their lungs, Moses said. There were seven or eight large 30- to 35-year-old guys directly behind us who cursed and
threatened us the entire game. He turned to ask them to tone it down in front of his girls and they yelled: Do not turn around again! Do not ever turn around again. He was afraid that if the fans saw him calling or texting security, the men would harm his daughters. Every 49ers fan, the team and its owners should be ashamed and embarrassed to wear the red and gold today, Moses wrote in the letter published Tuesday. They won the game but are losers in every other way. NFL security director Jeff Miller told the AP that if the security cameras or undercover police catch such abusive behavior by fans on Sunday, they will be yanked from the stadium.

that has made Smith one of the most unheralded stars in the game. Coach Jim Harbaugh called Smith the toughest player he has ever been around in his long career as a player and a coach. You talk about 10 out of 10. You cant get any better, cant be any better than 10 out of 10, Harbaugh said. Then, he nds a way to take it up another notch on the ladder when you didnt think there was another notch to go. ... The play where hes hurrying Drew Brees while hes being locked out by their left tackle. Legs off the ground and hes holding on to Drew and pulling him down. Is there an 11 out of 10? Is there such a thing? Is there a 12 out of 10? He just keeps nding another rung. Smith has been doing that all year. There was the play where he chased down the speedy Jeremy Maclin from behind to force the fumble in the closing minutes to seal a 24-23 victory at Philadelphia in Week 4. capabilities on defense. Sequoia could do very little with Andres Paredes and Erick Millan getting their best looks in the half. Bryan Calles rang the post on a shot some 25 yards out and so did Paredes in the second half. But other than that, San Mateo was solid. Its a dedication to your position, Gomez said about his teams defense. Thats all I can say. If youre not dedicated, then its not even worth playing defense. We take a lot of pride in it. Defense is the main focus in soccer. Im There was the fourth-down pass he batted down from Eli Manning in the nal minute of a 27-20 victory in November when the Giants were 10 yards away from the potential tying score. Then there are the litany of other plays he made on a weekly basis to help lead San Francisco to a 13-3 regular-season record. I knew he was a good player, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said. Hes even better than my impression was. And I think what a lot of people forget about Justin is they fall in love with his tenacity, his effort, his toughness, which is all justied, but hes got talent. Hes a talented player. So, when you combine the intangibles that we spoke about with his talent, we get what we see this year. Smith played in just one playoff game in his first 10 seasons, losing to Pittsburgh with Cincinnati in the 2005 season. That led Fangio to put him on the cover of the defensive playbook, with the tag: 0-1. really proud of all of us. We gave it all we got. San Mateo sealed the deal late in the second half on a world-class goal by Ryan Onizuka, who danced around a trio of Sequoia defenders, looking like a young Ronaldinho of Brazil and nishing with a bit of air to give his Bearcats a 2-0 advantage. Thats the mini-Ryantrick, Gomez said in his attempt to name the Onizuka move. I believe in that kid. I have all the condence in him.

Clint Dempsey has been voted top male athlete for the rst time since 2007. The USSF also said Friday that Brek Shea and Sydney Leroux were the top young athletes. Wambach won previously in 2003, 2004, 2007 and last year. Hamm won from 1994 to 1998. Wambach scored four goals at the Womens World Cup, including one in the 122nd minute in the seminals that forced penalty kicks and enabled the Americans to reach the nal, where they lost to Germany. Dempsey scored three goals at the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Playing for Fulham, he passed Brian McBride to become the highest-scoring American in the Premier League. Online votes counted for half the total, with the rest from media and USSF representatives.

PARIS An unpopular leader entangled in an unpopular war that he once staunchly defended, President Nicolas Sarkozy is suddenly considering a pullout of French troops from Afghanistan as another kind of campaign approaches: For his own re-election. The killing Friday of four French troops by one of their Afghan trainees upended Sarkozys counterterrorism strategy, leading him to immediately suspend Frances training program and joint military patrols Nicolas Sarkozy and raise the prospect of an accelerated pullout from Afghanistan. Afghanistan is not at the center of Frances presidential race, which culminates in a two-round vote in April and May. But for Sarkozy, the war looms as uncomfortable background noise amid wider French public concerns about swelling state debts and joblessness at its highest in over a decade. On Afghanistan, hes been on the defensive: Francois Hollande, the Socialist nominee for the presidential election, wants a pullout soon a position supported by most French, according to polls.

Costa CEO says captain misled company, crew

ROME The cruise captain who grounded the Costa Concordia off the Tuscan coast with 4,200 people on board did not relay correct information either to the company or crew after the ship hit rocks, the cruise ship owners CEO said Friday as the search resumed for 21 missing passengers. CEO Pierluigi Foschi told Italian state TV that the company spoke to the captain at 10:05 p.m. (2105 GMT; 4:05 p.m. EST), some 20 minutes after the ship ran aground on Jan. 13, but could not offer proper assistance because the captains description did not correspond to the truth. Capt. Francesco Schettino said only that he had problems on board but did not mention hitting rocks. Likewise, Foschi said crew members were not informed of the gravity of the situation. Passenger video shown on Italian TV indicates crew members telling passengers to go to their cabins as late as 10:25 p.m. (2125 GMT; 4:25 p.m. EST). The abandon ship alarm sounded just before 11:00 p.m. (2200 GMT; 5:25 p.m. EST).
WASHINGTON The State Department said Friday it may have no choice but to close the U.S. embassy in Damascus and remove all US personnel from the country wracked by a 10-month revolt against the regime of President Bashar Assad unless Assads government takes extra steps to protect the mission. The department issued a statement late Friday noting that the Obama administration has serious concerns about the deteriorating security situation in Damascus, including the recent spate of car bombs and about the safety and security of embassy personnel. The uprising against Assad has killed an estimated 5,400 people since March. Although the revolt began with mostly peaceful protests, an increasingly strong armed element has developed, and many people are now ghting the regime. The department said the administration has asked Syria to take additional security measures to protect the U.S embassy and that the Syrian government is considering that request. But it also said it warned Assads government that unless concrete steps are taken in the coming days we may have no choice but to close the mission.

October over security concerns. He returned to Syria in December. The administration argued at the time that Fords presence in Syria was important for advancing U.S. policy goals by meeting with opposition figures and serving as a witness to the ongoing violence. The Obama administration has long called for Assad to step down, and ofcials say his regimes demise is inevitable. U.S. ofcials say Syria has become increasingly isolated, with Iran as one of its last remaining allies, and point to recent defections by some military and government leaders as a sign that Assads grip on power is unraveling. The 10-month uprising against Assad has turned increasingly militarized and chaotic as more frustrated regime opponents and army defectors arm themselves and ght back against government forces.

Mexico police: robber rode skateboard to banks

MEXICO CITY Mexico City police say they have arrested a would-be bandit who rode his skateboard to bank robbery attempts. Police say Sergio Ledesma and his skateboard have been turned over to prosecutors after he allegedly attempted to rob two banks by whispering threats to tellers. Police say the teller at the rst bank simply acted as if he hadnt heard Ledesma, who then skated off to a second bank. The second teller told police Ledesma appeared to whisper a threat. So the teller set off a silent alarm, and counted out the money while the would-be robber waited patiently.
WASHINGTON Caving to a massive campaign by Internet services and their millions of users, Congress indenitely postponed legislation Friday to stop online piracy of movies and music costing U.S. companies billions of dollars every year. Critics said the bills would result in censorship and stie Internet innovation. The demise, at least for the time being, of the anti-piracy bills was a clear victory for Silicon Valley over Hollywood, which has campaigned for a tougher response to online piracy. The legislation also would cover the counterfeiting of drugs and car parts. Congress qualms underscored how Internet users can use their collective might to block those who want to change the system. The battle over the future of the Internet also played out on a different front
Thursday when a loose afliation of hackers known as Anonymous shut down Justice Department websites for several hours and hacked the site of the Motion Picture Association of America after federal ofcials issued an indictment against Megaupload.com, one of the worlds biggest le-sharing sites. The site of the Hong Kong-based company was shut down, and the founder and three employees were arrested in New Zealand on U.S. accusations that they facilitated millions of illegal downloads of lms, music and other content, costing copyright holders at least $500 million in lost revenue. New Zealand police raided homes and businesses linked to the founder, Kim Dotcom, on Friday and seized guns, millions of dollars and nearly $5 million in luxury cars, ofcials there said. In the U.S., momentum against the Senates Protect Intellectual Property Act and the Houses Stop Online Piracy Act,
known popularly as PIPA and SOPA, grew quickly on Wednesday when the online encyclopedia Wikipedia and other Web giants staged a one-day blackout and Google organized a petition drive that attracted more than 7 million participants. That day alone, at least six senators who had co-sponsored the Senate legislation reversed their positions. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, in statements at the time and again on Friday, stressed that more consensus-building was needed before the legislation would be ready for a vote. On Friday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he was postponing a test vote set for Tuesday in light of recent events. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, RTexas, followed suit, saying consideration of a similar House bill would be postponed until there is wider agreement on a solution.

Etta James dies

By Nekesa Mumbi Moody and Robert Jablon
LOS ANGELES Etta James performance of the enduring classic At Last was the embodiment of rened soul: Angelic-sounding strings harkened the arrival of her passionate yet measured vocals as she sang tenderly about a love nally realized after a long and patient wait. In real life, little about James was as genteel as that song. The platinum blondes rst hit was a saucy R&B number about sex, and she was known as a hell-raiser who had tempestuous relationships with her family, her men and the music industry. Then she spent years battling a drug addiction that she admitted sapped away at her great talents. The 73-year-old died on Friday at Riverside Community Hospital from complications of leukemia, with her husband and sons at her side, her manager, Lupe De Leon said. Its a tremendous loss for her fans around the world, he said. Shell be missed. A great American singer. Her music deed category. James spirit could not be contained perhaps thats what made her so magnetic in music; it is surely what made her so dynamic as one of R&B, blues and rock n rolls underrated legends. The bad girls ... had the look that I liked, she wrote in her 1995 autobiography, Rage to Survive. I wanted to be rare, I wanted to be noticed, I wanted to be exotic as a Cotton Club chorus girl, and I wanted to be obvious as the most amboyant hooker on the street. I just wanted to be. Etta James was a pioneer. Her ever-changing sound has inuenced rock and roll, rhythm and blues, pop, soul and jazz artists, marking her place as one of the most important female artists of our time, said Rock and Roll Hall of Fame President and CEO Terry Stewart. From Janis Joplin to Joss Stone, an incredible number of performers owe their debts to her. There is no mistaking the voice of Etta James, and it will live forever. Despite the reputation she cultivated, she would always be remembered best for At Last. The jazz-inected rendition wasnt the original, but it would become the most famous and the song that would dene her as a legendary singer. Over the decades, brides used it as their song down the aisle and car companies to hawk their wares, and it ltered from one generation to the next through its inclusion in movies like American Pie. Perhaps most famously, President Obama and the rst lady danced to a version at his inauguration ball. The tender, sweet song belied the turmoil in her personal life. James born Jamesetta Hawkins was born in Los Angeles to a mother whom she described as a scam artist, a substance abuser and a eeting presence during her youth. She never knew her father, although she was told and had believed, that he was the famous billiards player Minnesota Fats. He neither conrmed nor denied it: when they met, he simply told her: I dont remember everything. I wish I did, but I dont. She was raised by Lula and Jesse Rogers, who owned the rooming house where her mother once lived in. The pair brought up
Second semester senior changes

sat down last weekend, opened my AP comparative politics textbook and began reading my assignment with the intention of taking notes so I could really retain the information about Samuel Huntingtons Three Waves of Democratization. Its the beginning of a new semester, so naturally I was excited about delving into some new content. Not to mention I was looking forward to cracking open the brandnew textbook because I actually enjoy reading and learning about global politics. I vigorously read through the rst pages of the 15-page assignment and I found it to be quite interesting. I began to skim through the next few pages of the assignment, still retaining the information but for some reason not as interested in the content. By the time I reached the end of the reading assignment, I realized that I had pretty much skimmed through the entire thing. The pre-second semester senior me would have freaked out and worried I had just wasted precious work time mindlessly reading a homework assignment. However, the second semester senior me shrugged it off and went about catching up on episodes of Greys Anatomy I had missed due to nals and college applications among other things. I honestly didnt think I would catch it. Id heard about it for years and prided myself on the fact I was a super studious student and that nothing could get in my way. I was wrong, and for all these high school students out there who think they are immune to Senioritis, beware. Since the rst sight of these symptoms brought on by my second semester senior status, I have managed to severely procrastinate on all of my school work and even

Her professional success, however, was balanced against personal demons, namely a drug addiction. I was trying to be cool, she told the AP in 1995, explaining what had led her to try heroin. I hung out in Harlem and saw Miles Davis and all the jazz cats, she continued. At one time, my heavy role models were all druggies. Billie Holiday sang so groovy. Is that because shes on drugs? It was in my mind as a young person. I probably thought I was a young Billie Holiday, doing whatever came with that. She was addicted to the drug for years, beginning in 1960, and it led to a harrowing existence that included time behind bars. It sapped her singing abilities and her money, eventually, almost destroying her career. It would take her at least two decades to beat her drug problem. Her husband, Artis Mills, even went to prison for years, taking full responsibility for drugs during an arrest even though James was culpable. My management was suffering. My career was in the toilet. People tried to help, but I was hell-bent on getting high, she wrote of her drug habit in 1980. She nally quit the habit and managed herself for a while, calling up small clubs and asking them, Have you ever heard of Etta James? in order to get gigs. Eventually, she got regular bookings even drawing Elizabeth Taylor as an audience member. In 1984, she was tapped to sing the national anthem at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, and her career got the resurgent boost it needed, though she fought addiction again when she got hooked on painkillers in the late 1980s. ly thanking Senioritis for giving me the chance to read anything that wasnt written by Shakespeare. Im aware of how dangerous Senioritis is and how dangerous it can become to second semester seniors who have sent away all of their college applications and have maybe even been already accepted to some universities. I know I shouldnt slack off in school and must get back to doing my homework. But it took me years of hard work to reach this point of second semester senior status and I think I deserve a little break before I get back into serious work mode in college.

JAMES
James in the Christian faith, and as a young girl, her voice stood out in the church choir. James landed the solos in the choir and became so well known, she said that Hollywood stars would come to see her perform. But she wouldnt stay a gospel singer for long. Rhythm and blues lured her away from the church, and she found herself drawn to the grittiness of the music. My mother always wanted me to be a jazz singer, but I always wanted to be raunchy, she recalled in her book. She was doing just that when bandleader Johnny Otis found her singing on San Francisco street corners with some girlfriends in the early 1950s. Otis, a legend in his own right, died on Tuesday. At the time, Hank Ballard and the Midnighters had a hit with Work With Me, Annie, and we decided to do an answer. We didnt think we would get in show business, we were just running around making up answers to songs, James told the Associated Press in 1987. And so they replied with the song, Roll With Me, Henry. When Otis heard it, he told James to get her mothers permission to accompany him to Los Angeles to make a recording. Instead, the 15-year-old singer forged her mothers name on a note claiming she was 18. At that time, you werent allowed to say roll because it was considered vulgar. So when Georgia Gibbs did her version, she renamed it Dance With Me,

Henry and it went to No. 1 on the pop charts, the singer recalled. The Gibbs song was one of several in the early rock era when white singers got hits by covering songs by black artists, often with sanitized lyrics. After her 1955 debut, James toured with Otis revue, sometimes earning only $10 a night. In 1959, she signed with Chicagos legendary Chess label, began cranking out the hits and going on tours with performers such as Bobby Vinton, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Gene Vincent, Jerry Lee Lewis and the Everly Brothers. We would travel on four buses to all the big auditoriums. And we had a lot of fun, she recalled in 1987. James recorded a string of hits in the late 1950s and 60s including Trust In Me, Somethings Got a Hold On Me, Sunday Kind of Love, All I Could Do Was Cry, and of course, At Last. (Chess Records founder) Leonard Chess was the most aware of anyone. He went up and down the halls of Chess announcing, Ettas crossed over! Ettas crossed over! I still didnt know exactly what that meant, except that maybe more white people were listening to me. The Chess brothers kept saying how I was their rst soul singer, that I was taking their label out of the old Delta blues, out of rock and into the modern era. Soul was the new direction, she wrote in her autobiography. But in my mind, I was singing old style, not new. In 1967, she cut one of the most highly regarded soul albums of all time, Tell Mama, an earthy fusion of rock and gospel music featuring blistering horn arrangements, funky rhythms and a churchy chorus.

SLIDE INTO A HOUSEBOAT SUMMER. Winter is passing quickly and it will soon be time to start thinking about the lazy days of summer. And summer dreams might be, well, summ(er)ed up in one word: houseboat. The Bobbsey Twins went out on a houseboat in 1915, Cary Grant and Sophia Loren fell in love on one in the 1958 movie Houseboat, and Tom Hanks lived the laketop life in the 1993 romcom Sleepless in Seattle. Houseboating is a popular activity for people of all ages, aboard houseboats of all varieties, ranging from 3040 foot boats to four-bedroom, 70-foot luxury models. Houseboating provides the ability to explore local scenery, participate in hiking and swimming and move daily for a change of view, all without continually packing and unpacking suitcases. Houseboating is available in the San Francisco Bay Area at Lake Berryessa, just east of the Napa Valley. With 165 miles of shoreline (more shoreline miles than Lake Tahoe), Lake Berryessa is one of Californias largest lakes. Hot summer days (80s and 90s are common) and water temperatures that can reach 75 degrees make Berryessa an ideal place for a floating holiday.

Red Rocks in Colorado hosting first winter show with hip-hop

By Catherine Tsai
DENVER Over the decades, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Grateful Dead, U2 and hundreds of other acts have played the legendary outdoor stage at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, nestled between two 300-foot sandstone monoliths in the Rocky Mountains foothills outside Denver. On Jan. 27, thanks largely to a seasoned concert producer and a growing Denver-based ski company dreaming big, the hip-hop group Atmosphere and Grammy-winning rapper Common are headlining the venues rst concert in the middle of winter, coinciding with a snow-sports trade show that will bring an estimated 20,000 attendees to town. The ski company, Icelantic, has been rallying dozens of volunteers to shovel snow and chip away ice at Red Rocks originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps every Sunday to get ready for Winter on the Rocks. I love to do things off the grid, where people say, Youre out of your mind, said Chuck Morris, president and chief executive ofcer of AEG Lives Rocky Mountain region, which is producing the concert. Ive done that my whole career. Red Rocks is open all year as a park, but it shuts down as a concert venue for the winter. Icelantics events director Sam Warren, 27, remembers promising at a bar that hed throw a winter concert at Red Rocks if SnowSports Industries America moved its annual Snow Show from Las Vegas to Denver. In 2007, SIA announced Snow Show would move to the
Mile High City in 2010. Anne Hack of AEG Live had overheard Warrens pledge in the bar and worked with Icelantic to throw sold-out concerts at the roughly 1,600-person-capacity Ogden Theatre during the SIA Snow Shows rst two years in Denver. Living Legends played the rst year, and Big Boi played the next. We blew our own socks off, Warren said. But Warren was still set on Red Rocks, despite logistical questions. Jump, and the net will appear, he said. Musicians would need heaters to keep instruments in tune. Trucks and concertgoers would have to make steep trips uphill in the cold to the amphitheater, and toilets would have to be brought up to make up for ones shuttered until spring. Costs for a winter concert are roughly 20 to 25 percent higher than a similar summertime show at Red Rocks, just to remove snow and keep the stage area warm, said Don Strasburg, senior promoter and vice president of AEG Lives Rocky Mountain region. Still, Morris noted the thousands of skiers and snowboarders bundling up for outdoor concerts around Vail and Aspen, not to mention Denver Broncos fans watching live games in the cold, and thought there was no reason not to try a winter concert at Red Rocks, which holds about 9,450 people. We live in the Wild West. Our job is to keep pushing boundaries, said Strasburg. Denver city ofcials, knowing Snow Show attendees had grown accustomed to partying in Las Vegas during past conventions, were on board early on.

MASSAGE
lor doesnt shut it down, said Sheriffs Lt. Ray Lunny. According to gures from the Sheriffs Ofce, there are at least 22 massage establishments in the unincorporated area. In 2011, the Sheriffs Ofce received seven complaints and made four arrests for either drug possession or keeping or residing in a home for the purpose of prostitution. The parlors involved in the arrests included a private home on Devonshire Avenue, the Relax Center Asian massage on Fifth Avenue and Siesta Massage on El Camino Real, according to Lunny. The countys existing ordinance was adopted in 1973 with minor revisions in 1987 and 1991. The boards Housing, Health and Human Services subcommittee vetted the proposed new ordinance in November and it now comes up for consideration by all the supervisors. The recommendation lets the county maintain responsibility for regulation and inspection while moving much of the administrative work and background checks to the state. In 2008, the state passed a law governing massage establishments and giving voluntary oversight to the nonprot California Massage Therapy Council. The change was meant to free practitioners from background checks and license fees in any and all cities where they worked. Counties and cities cant impose more stringent or different requirements on massage workers than those from the state, such as having 250 hours of education from an approved school. The proposed county ordinance requires massage practitioners as of July 1, 2012 to be registered with the county and have a valid CAMTC registration. The ordinance also spells out other requirements such as a clients genitals being covered, the presence of wash basins, an appro-

priate level of lighting and businesses not being located in buildings that have blocked or darkened views from the public. This will be very effective for combating both prostitution and human trafcking, Lunny said. The future start date gives owners and practitioners ample time to become certied, familiarize themselves with the requirements and become registered, according to the board report by Sheriff Greg Munks and Health System Director Jean Fraser. The county wont charge a registration fee but Environmental Health will collect for inspections and the county will collect for background checks of business owners not otherwise certied by CAMTC. The ordinance does not mandate the number of inspections required but the $420 annual fee per facility will cover one routine and one follow-up visit each year, said Environmental Health Director Dean Peterson. Violators risk administrative nes up to $500 per violation and for each day a business remains open. The county may also revoke or suspect a business registration. If the county moves forward, it will join several of its own cities in revamping the rules although there is not one uniform approach. For example, the Redwood City Council approved changes to its ordinance to mimic the state rules. In San Carlos, however, the council enacted an emergency moratorium on new permits for practitioners and businesses which it said provided time until the county passed its own. The council hopes to use the pending county ordinance as a template once the citys ban expires. In June 2011, the Belmont City Council approved a similar 45-day emergency moratorium after comparing city records against a list of 31 schools deemed suspect by CAMTC. City staff determined that 37 of 46 licensed massage therapists in the city had attended the schools.

Hillsborough police arrested Kleiman after responding to his 911 call June 15, 2010 seeking help inside the pool house of his parents ve-bedroom main house on De Sabla Road. Kleiman said he and Calvache were alone on the property and that he shot him during a struggle after his friend pulled a gun on him. Prosecutors also say the friends had made plans to go to dinner together before the altercation. When police arrived, they reportedly found Kleiman carrying marijuana plants in the backyard and a weapon and casings inside the pool house. Prosecutors later theorized the shooting may have happened during an argument about a marijuana business. Calvache was shot twice in the head and once in the buttocks. In September 2010, Judge Richard Livermore took the unusual step of seeking a competency evaluation before Kleiman entered a plea. Two of three appointed doctors found him competent and, two months later, a criminal grand jury indicted Kleiman. Kleiman remains in custody without bail.
There is a buzz in San Mateo County about this Sundays NFC championship game between the 49ers and the NY Giants. Theres not a bar in town that wont be showing it, said an employee at Steamies in San Mateo. You can catch the game at Third Avenue Sports Bar & Grill in San Mateo where youll find a lot of red shirts said an employee. Its a great, neighborhood sports bar with great food and great energy. Just a couple doors away from Amicis, the sports bar offers Amicis pizza menu. The menu also includes sh and chips, burgers and a great steak sandwich. For a family-friendly experience, check out the game at BJs in San Mateo. BJs makes their own beer and, as for all NFL games, there will be a happy hour for the entire game. The brewery restaurant will be packed with football fans so get there early. If you prefer the atmosphere of a sports bar, check out Newells in San Bruno, which will provide a spread of food for fans watching the game. Or you can cheer for your team at City Pub in Redwood City, which will also be showing the game. Another great place and popular place to watch the game is The Ofce in San Carlos.
Last weekend, at least 200 people turned out for the game, so they will be packed again with 49ers fans. They will have a beer special this Sunday. Here is a semi-ofcial list of places to watch the game. If your business is not on this list, drop us a line at news@smdailyjournal.com or post it on the Daily Journal Facebook page. San Mateo: Third Avenue, Steamies, Moons Family Sports Pub, The Downtown Tiki Lounge, Route 92, ONeills Irish Pub, Original Nicks Pizzeria & Pub, The Swingin Door, Astaria, The Great Entertainer, McGoverns and BJs; San Carlos: Sneakers, Klutch Burgers, Pudleys, The Ofce, The Cask and Jersey Joes; Burlingame: American Bull Bar & Grill, Knuckles Historical Sports Bar, Elephant Bar and California Bar & Grill; Foster City: Clubhouse Bistro, Waterfront Pizza and Mariners Point Bar & Grill; Redwood City: The Living Room; Menlo Park: Dutch Goose and Oasis Beer Garden; Belmont: The Lariat Tavern, Chriss New Harbor Bar, Ausiellos Tavern, St. James Gate and Village Host; Millbrae: Fiddlers Green; South San Francisco: Houlihans and Hogans; and San Bruno: Hooters and Newells. You will not nd 49ers jerseys at Big 5 in San Mateo either. Big 5 does not usually carry jerseys, except for on special occasions, a store manager said. The jersey buyer in the buying department for all Big 5 stores said that 49ers jerseys were not purchased this year because jerseys usually do not sell well. Shirts and jerseys can still be found at Sports City in Daly City. Sports Authority in San Mateo also has a lot of 49ers shirts left. So if youre looking for a red shirt, get out there now. Analysts speculated that Reebok put in small orders this season because they knew their contract would end this year and because the NFL Lockout was still happening when buying decisions and orders were being sent in. Everybody knew coming in it was going to be a tough year for all merchandise, said Brian Swallow, vice president of strategy and business development of Football Fanatics, an online shop for sports apparel and merchandise. Its very tough being a vendor and retailer. You have to prognosticate, sometimes a year in advance. That being said, in your lame duck year, you are going to be very conservative.
KLEIMAN
we dont want is to end up with a hung jury or, even worse, an acquittal, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti. Defense attorney Chuck Smith long held his clients case was a strong one for self-defense but he said settling and having his client out with credit at age 36 was preferable to gambling on a minimum of decades behind bars if convicted. He was someone diagnosed with a mental illness long before this case so his processing abilities and reasoning are unquestionably affected, but he understands the importance of this and understands it is in his best interest to accept this deal, Smith said. The settlement Friday came amid jury selection and trial motions, both of which were slowed by the recusal of two judges before it landed in Judge Stephen Halls court. The rulings so far the suppression of the defendants statement, evidence that the gun belonged to the
GEAR
renewed interest in 49ers paraphernalia and now the store is nearly sold out. The store cannot order more because Reebok, the producer of NFL jerseys for the past 10 years, stopped making merchandise two months ago. Reebok has stopped its production line because its contract with the NFL expires this year. Nike will take over next year and you can expect entirely new jerseys. However, the NFL wont release any ofcial jerseys at least until the next draft. Nike cannot release anything now because Reebok is still under contract. Reebok will produce merchandise for the NFC and AFC championship games, as well as for the Super Bowl, said the Winners employee. But the merchandise will not be specic to any team. He said they do not have plans to order more until Nikes contract goes into effect. Goetz Brothers in Redwood City is running low on 49ers jerseys as well.

Stage falls at Ottawa Bluesfest

By Charmaine Noronha
TORONTO The main stage at Ottawa Bluesfest collapsed Sunday night during a Cheap Trick concert as a severe thunderstorm sent the band members and thousands of fans running for cover. At least ve people were injured, one seriously. The members of Cheap Trick got off the stage safely, but witnesses said the musicians were thrown off their feet. Everyone is okay and we are so lucky to be alive and hope that all the fans are okay too, the band, best known for hits including Surrender, I Want You to Want Me and The Flame, said in a message posted on Facebook. Video of the Bluesfest site posted on YouTube within minutes of the storms passing showed a stage that had crumpled and col-
lapsed over electronic equipment. Twisted shards of metal jutted out from the stage, which stood several stories tall before it was destroyed. Jocelyne Turner, a spokeswoman for Ottawa Fire Services, said ve people were treated at the site. Three of them were sent to hospitals and one had life-threatening injuries. The Globe and Mail newspaper of Toronto reported that a 46-year-old man was in serious condition, suffering a pierced abdomen, a fractured pelvis and a fractured leg after he was gored by a piece of the collapsing stage. Environment Canada had a thunderstorm warning in effect for Ottawa, saying winds were expected to reach 56 mph (90 kph). Bluesfest is one of North Americas main musical events. The festival rst took place in 1994 and has since grown from a one-stage, three-day event to a multi-staged, 12-day music showcase featuring some of the best international talent.
NEW YEAR
City. In the coming weeks, theres a chance to dance with a dragon in San Mateo, enjoy acrobats in Redwood City or try some traditional fare in Millbrae. Often celebrated with family and kicked off with a trip to temple, Foster City resident Gina Kuo started the annual celebration seven years ago so children in her community could experience what she fondly remembered as a child. Foster Citys celebration will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 22 at the Lagoon Room of the Recreation Center, 650 Shell Blvd. When Kuos son was in rst grade she wanted him to experience the fun and joy associated with Chinese New Year but there was no local festival, so she started one. As a result, the idea of celebrating has grown but Kuos focus on children remains during this years celebration on the eve of Chinese Lunar New Year. Themed Temple Fair, the Foster City celebration will include the re-creation of a Chinese American traditional village street fair. Displays of luminous decorations will serve as a backdrop for the festival featuring musical, acrobatic and lion dance performances, a traditional tea ceremony, the time-honored tradition of tea drinking and the ancient martial arts and performance, calligraphy, brush painting, art exhibitions, animated storytelling in Chinese and English and Chinese opera-style face painting. Also, Kuos favorite part of the celebration, little red envelopes lled with small treats instead of money will be offered for children. Kuo really loves the community support for the annual celebration which now includes student volunteers who grew up attending and youngsters planning their own performances and volunteering to be part of the event. Millbraes festival follows the Monday holiday. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 29, the Lunar New Year Festival will be held in downtown Millbrae. This years celebration will feature stage performance and a lion dance. For Redwood City, the Lunar New Year celebration is in its second year. This years event, taking place 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4, will be held in Courthouse Square and includes an opening ceremony, a lion dance and martial arts demonstration by the Shaolin Culture Center of San Mateo, taiko drumming by the Somei Taiko Ensemble of San Francisco and the famous Red Panda Acrobats. San Mateos third annual lion dance through downtown will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11. This years tradition is expanded to include a festival. San Mateo Deputy Mayor David Lim explained the hope has long been to include a festival and this year seemed like a great year to do it. And support is coming from businesses of all background, Lim said. Everyone could use a little luck this year, he said. Hosted in conjunction with the Downtown San Mateo Association and Self-Help for the Elderly, a nonprot serving seniors in San Mateo, the festival will celebrate diversity.
Year of the Dragon

(1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000 or 2012)
This year welcomes the Year of the Dragon and the beginning of a new year on the Chinese Lunar Calendar, and for other Asian cultures.Dragon is the fth sign in the Chinese astrological cycle. History suggests that before Buddha left this world, he invited all of the animals to join him around his table for a feast.Of all of the creatures in the land, only 12 arrived.The steadfast Ox led the way, but at the last moment, the Rat, opportunistic and eet of foot, scampered over the Oxs back and arrived rst at Buddhas door.For their loyalty and faithfulness, these animals were rewarded in perpetuity by having a year named after each of them in their order of arrival. The 12 animals run in sequence beginning with the Rat and followed by the Ox,Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Money, Rooster, Dog and last, but not least, the Pig.
If you were born during the Year of the Dragon...

For those of you that may be born in the Year of the Dragon, the Dragon is a symbol of good fortune and sign of intense power, the Oriental Dragon is regarded as a divine beast the reverse of the malicious monster that Westerners felt necessary to nd and slay.In Eastern philosophy, the Dragon is said to be a deliverer of good fortune and a master of authority.Therefore, those people born in Dragon years are to be honored and respected.Seemingly born under a lucky star, the dragon is the most vital and powerful of any in the Chinese zodiac, although with an infamous reputation for being a hothead and possessing a sharp tongue. At any social gathering, you know a Dragon has entered the room as the air starts to tingle with the energy they exude.Enthusiastic, and condent sometimes to the point of swaggering, Dragon people inspire condence in others with their honesty and quick wit. Source: City of Redwood City Lunar New Year site
The fair will feature live entertainment and community tables at the U.S. Bank parking lot at the corner of Third Avenue and San Mateo Drive. Along with the festival, a lion dance team will be performing throughout downtown including making stops in local businesses.

A Petition for Probate has been filed by Monica Chill in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition of Probate requests that Monica Chill be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection of the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: February 17, 2012 at 9:00 a.m., Dept: 28, Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo, 400 County Center, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. 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. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: Michael E.
