A load of garbage burst inside a Recology truck in Redwood City yesterday morning, sending at least three people to the hospital after toxic fumes lled the air. The incident occurred in an alley at 1520 Main St. near El Camino Real as two Recology workers were picking up trash in a commercial complex at about 10 a.m. When a load of garbage was being compressed inside the truck, the workers heard a loud burst followed by a cloud of toxic fumes that lled the air, said Redwood City spokesman Malcolm Smith. The workers rst called a Recology supervisor, who then called 911, Smith said. The Recology supervisor also went to the scene but was later hospitalized himself after inhaling the fumes, Smith said. The three Recology workers were all vomiting and showed symptoms of inhaling toxins, Smith said. A hazardous materials team was called to the scene and stayed on site for many hours as they combed through the garbage, testing for toxins. The hazmat team found ammonia in the air, Smith said, and was testing for other chemicals as the Recology truck was left in the alley.
Dual win in Iowa

Dead heat? Romney, Santorum seesaw in caucus vote
By David Espo and Thomas Beaumont
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DES MOINES, Iowa Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney waged a seesaw battle for supremacy in Iowas Republican presidential caucuses late Tuesday night, a dramatic opening round for the campaign to pick a challenger to President Barack Obama. Texas Rep. Ron Paul ran third. Returns from 99 percent of the states precincts showed Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, and Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts, in a near dead heat, a tting conclusion to a See FUMES, Page 20 race as jumbled as any since Iowa gained
the lead-off position in presidential campaigns four decades ago. Regardless of the outcome, there was room for both to claim victory Romney as the man to beat for the partys Ron Paul nomination and Santorum as the leader among those struggling to emerge as the former governors unvarnished conservative rival in the primaries yet to come. Game on, Santorum said, jaw clenched, in a late-night appearance
before supporters in the Iowa capital city. New Hampshire votes next, and Romney is heavily favored in the rstin-the-nation primary on Jan. 10. South Carolina on Jan. 21 gures to be a tougher test, the rst contest in the South and a state that is part of the Republican political base. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich nished in fourth place and vowed to ght on. He was followed by Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who somberly told supporters he was headed back home to Texas to reassess a candidacy that bloomed early, then faded.

Panel suggests putting high-speed rail on hold

Jury hears Millbrae murder case

Prosecutor paints vivid portrait of drunken night during opening statements
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
SACRAMENTO A state-appointed panel said Tuesday that Californias plan to build a high-speed rail system in the state is not nancially feasible and should be placed on hold. The report by the California High-Speed Rail Peer Review Group said the state should not authorize $2.7 billion in bonds to build the initial section of the system. In November, the California High-Speed Rail Authority approved a plan that requests $2.7 billion in state bonds to match $3.5 billion in federal money. It would be used to build 130 miles of track between Chowchilla and Bakerseld. The stretch of tracks would form an integral part of the lines rst segment proposed to eventually span 290 miles from Bakerseld to San Jose or 300 miles from Merced to a point in the San Fernando Valley. The report criticized the authority for failing to identify a long-term funding source for the $25 to $30 billion needed to complete either of those segments. The authority also failed to specify which of the two segments should be initiated rst, according to the report. The report also said the authoritys business plan was incomplete and its stafng was inadequate to manage a large construction project. The total cost of the project has more than doubled to $98 billion since voters approved $9 billion in bonds in 2008. The authority responded by calling the report deeply awed and misleading. It said the reports conclusions could place the $3.5 billion in federal funding at risk and jeopardize future funding. Other major infrastructure projects also dont have fully identied funding sources at the start, the authority said. The California Labor Federation also criticized the report. It defended the rail line, saying it would generate thousands of jobs and should not be delayed. Proponents envision that the trains, traveling at up to 220 mph, would help transform the states economy by relieving congestion on clogged highways, allowing quicker travel between metropolitan areas and generating much-needed construction jobs. But last month, Californias high-speed rail ofcials backed off claims that the bullet train would create more than 1 million jobs. And in November, the states legislative analyst said Californias plan for a $98 billion high-speed rail system does not comply with some parts of the 2008 ballot measure voters approved to provide the seed money. The analyst said the stretch would not be a stand-alone operating segment of the high-speed rail line, as required by Proposition 1A. Some lawmakers in both major parties now say the Legislature should rethink spending voter-approved bonds toward the high-speed rail system. State Sen. Doug LaMalfa, R- Richvale, praised the review groups recommendation. He said the state couldnt afford highspeed rail and its actual costs would far exceed any benets. The senator said he would introduce a bill to put the projects funding on the ballot and let voters have another opportunity to weigh in. The rail line would be built in two phases. The rst would extend from San Francisco to Los Angeles and Anaheim; the second would extend the line to Sacramento in the north and San Diego in the south.
Less than a half-hour before Teyseer Zaid Najdawi pumped 10 bullets into his friends head and left the body on a residential Burlingame street, he drunkenly waved the murder weapon at passing cars while relieving himself in a San Francisco doorway, according to San Mateo County prosecutors. Jurors during opening statements yesterday morning watched the video that captured Najdawi staggering down the street and urinating early July 8, 2008, just 20 minutes before Jack Chu was murdered in Millbrae and left by his friend quite literally to rot in the July sun, as prosecutor Al Giannini painted the encounter. Giannini provided no motive for the murder We dont know what set this defendant off but told jurors Najdawi jeopardized others by pointing his gun randomly at cars, ring into an apartment building while killing Chu and later attacking a jail cellmate to the point he may have permanent physical damage. Its miraculous we only have one dead here, Giannini said. Defense attorney Jonathan McDougall reserved an opening statement until the start of his case. However, Najdawi, 28, has pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity. In a preemptive strike, Giannini told jurors they might hear psychiatric evidence but that nothing mitigates any of his alleged crimes. Nothing about his mental state
changes the fact that he murdered Jack Chu for no reason, Giannini said. Chu, 27, and Najdawi, better known as Terry, drank heavily on July 7 leading into July 8 at two San Francisco Teyseer bars where Najdawi Najdawi paid the tab with his brothers stolen credit card. A friend who encountered them that evening and a bartender at one establishment recalled them both being drunk Najdawi annoyingly so, according to the female Dragon Lounge bartender who said Chu claimed his friend was also taking Vicodine and Chus blood alcohol level after death was .2. The acquaintance, Gray Yung, testied that Najdawi had a rearm with him that night and that he kind of knew he always carried a gun. At 1:18 a.m., per the surveillance tapes, Chu walked down the street followed a short time later by Najdawi with the gun and laser sight visible. Najdawi stopped in the doorway of one business to urinate and the video footage showed him swinging the gun in the direction of headlights. Twenty minutes later, the pair had driven to Lincoln Circle in Millbrae where Giannini said a woman talking outside on her phone watched the car park awkwardly. She will testify to hearing a bunch of gunshots and hearing the casings hit the ground. Some of the bullets lodged in the bedroom wall of a
nearby apartment. The others, delivered at close range, killed Chu. This defendant just blew the guys head apart, Giannini said. Najdawi reportedly drove the car to Burlingame, leaving the vehicle with Chu inside at the intersection of Chula Vista and Sanchez avenues near the home of his mother where hed been staying. Najdawi left bloody clothes at her home, later collected by police, and ed to Redding where he dropped the Glock in the river and was apprehended at a motel a week later. Chus body went undiscovered for two days, as passersby mistook the slumped man for somebody sleeping or passed out. Although Najdawi allegedly rid himself of the murder weapon, Giannini said he left evidence tying the gun to Chus body namely the gun box with serial number and two test casings that ballistically matched the those at the crime scene. After Najdawis arrest but before he could stand trial, he was found incompetent and institutionalized at Napa State Hospital. He was deemed t in 2011 and returned to San Mateo County. He was once appointed his own attorney right before trial began but changed his mind and had McDougall reappointed. Prior to trial, Najdawi also pleaded no contest to gun possession charges rather than letting a jury also weigh those alleged crimes. Najdawi remains in custody without bail. The prosecution continues its case today. If jurors convict Najdawi, they must then hear a second trial on his sanity. cost has risen from an initial projection of $130 million. The job projections, meanwhile, have dropped from 13,000 to about 2,500. The project also ran into opposition from the Federal Transit Administration, which denied BART $70 million in funding last year on the grounds that the agency could not meet deadlines for a required study of the projects impact on minority residents.

County seeks input on realignment

After months of wrestling with public safety realignment, the countys Probation Department is asking the public for its thoughts on how best to implement the states budget-balancing plan that shifted lowlevel state prisoners to local jails and parolees to local supervision. Probation Chief Stuart Forrest and a mix of other stakeholders like judges and those in law enforcement, health and education have been meeting for months even before realignment ofcially began in October. They hoped to meet the switch head on with a smooth transition. Now, with the process a reality, the collective known as the Community Corrections Partnership is holding a town hall meeting prior to the nal draft of the countys own plan coming together in February. We want to open it up to the public to let them know what weve done so far and get their ideas on what our priorities should be or anything else, said Forrest. The partnership has been operating with an interim emergency plan that got the county up and running with realignment but Forrest said it is time for the permanent document. The plan, which must ultimately be adopted by the Board of Supervisors, will provide an overview of the affected population, identify service goals and priorities, create a tracking protocol and incorporate a funding strategy, according to the request put out by the Probation Department for consultants to help craft the document.

The Serra community welcomed 19 French exchange students during the fall semester who stayed with Serra host families through Nov. 1. During their visit,the students explored San Francisco,visited the beaches of Half Moon Bay and learned what its like to be a teenager in America. There was also a dance held with Mercy High School,a Tri-School fall production and a group dinner at Mezzaluna Italian Restaurant.
n November, UCB, Inc. announced that Marcie Abreu from San Mateo was selected as a recipient of the 2011 UCB Family Epilepsy Scholarship. Abreu is one of 40 winners selected from a pool of more than 800 applicants from across the country to receive a $5,000 scholarship to apply to her studies at the University of Portland. This scholarship is awarded each year to inspiring people whose lives have been affected by epilepsy, and who seek personal growth through higher learning. Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition affecting approximately 3 million people in the U.S. and 40 million people worldwide. *** In November, California Connects, a federally funded program designed to increase digital literacy and broadband access among underserved communities, distributed laptops to 1,400 community college Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) students at 33 community colleges throughout California. Among the colleges to receive the new comput-
ers was Caada College in Redwood City. This marks the second round of laptop distributions through this program, and advances an initiative to increase the number of broadband Internet users in California by more than 61,000 individuals by 2013. Students receiving the laptops are also provided intensive outreach and hands-on training, enabling them to educate others and ultimately help increase the number of California broadband Internet users.

The county chose Oakland-based Resource Development Associates for the work. Forrest said the nal plan will benet from public insight, too. The partnership certainly has its ideas and left to its own devices will come up with a plan but any plan should reflect the community to which these people are returning, Forrest said. The Probation Department, the lead on public safety realignment for the county, is hosting the meeting but other partnership members will be in attendance, too. Forrest said he wont be surprised to hear audience questions and worries about overall safety but hopes attendees also come to brainstorm ways to improve supervision, education and work training programs to curb recidivism. The restructuring of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation was estimated to save approximately $30 million annually while shifting inmates and parolees like the approximately 400 ballparked for San Mateo County over the next three years. The county and state penciled out differing numbers but Forrest said the expected pattern is 30 inmates a month through 2013 rather than a number that peaks then declines. Forrest said the pool of probationers and parolees will likely remain stable, too. Realignment, particularly the
need for space to house the transferred inmates and the recently convicted who never leave jail, was a key conversation piece of the countys efforts to fund and construct a new correctional facility. The countys jails have been overcrowded for years and, headed into realignment, local ofcials worried about where the new bodies would t. Adding parolees to the responsibility of already-stretched county probation officers were another worry. The Probation Department took some mighty budget cuts in the last years, leading to staff and program reductions, before realignment was implemented. The department must also squeeze more than $1 million more from its budget to pay the state for serious juvenile wards housed in state facilities. The last was among the so-called trigger cuts announced by Gov. Jerry Brown last month. The public safety realignment town hall meeting is 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 10, 455 County Center, Room 101, Redwood City.

Obama signs pipeline safety, airport security laws
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama has signed legislation to toughen oil and gas pipeline regulations and another to ease airport security procedures for members of the military on ofcial travel. The president signed the legislation Tuesday as part of a post-holiday, back-tobusiness day that included approval of several other measures approved by Congress late last year. The pipeline law aims to close gaps in federal safety regulations made apparent Barack Obama by a fatal gas pipeline break in San Bruno in 2010. The airport security law will allow expedited screening for service members and accompanying family. Military travelers would have to be in uniform and would have to present their orders to benet from the faster screening process. The president also signed a bill authorizing spending on intelligence community operations.

L.A. arson suspect cursed U.S. days before fires
LOS ANGELES Harry Burkhart watched as his mother was arrested last week on fraud charges from their native Germany, and a day later he exploded in an expletive-laced rant against the U.S. at her court hearing. Thats when, authorities believe, Burkhart, angry over his mothers legal troubles, went on a nighttime rampage of arson attacks that terrorized Los Angeles and caused $3 million in damage.
SACRAMENTO California lawmakers will reconvene to face a $13 billion budget decit and other familiar issues, but they also will be dealing with an entirely new political landscape. Legislators who want to continue their political careers are trying to gure out a new primary system and independently drawn legislative boundaries. The election-year dynamics are likely to inuence much of the legislative debate, including how to resolve Californias continual budget shortfalls. Lawmakers returning Wednesday in Sacramento are awaiting Gov. Jerry Browns plan to deal with the decit over the next 18 months. He has until Jan. 10 to present his proposed budget for the scal year that begins July 1. Brown plans to ask voters in November to raise income taxes on high-income earners and boost the state sales tax by half a cent, both temporary measures. His budget is expected to include automatic cuts to public schools and social services if voters reject that initiative. Increasing the sales tax and boosting income taxes on those earning more than $250,000 a year is expected to raise about $7 billion a year for ve years. It will be a dynamic year, said Robin Swanson, spokeswoman for Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles. She said Perez will work to persuade voters
that the tax increases are vital to protect public schools and other vital services from devastating cuts. The recession has taken a deep bite out of Californias tax Jerry Brown revenue. The states general fund budget for the current scal year is nearly $17 billion lower than it was during the 2007-08 scal year, when the recession began. Lawmakers exhausted all the easy budget cuts years ago and face Republican resistance to raising revenue, which requires a two-thirds vote in the Legislature. Democrats control both chambers of the Legislature and say they are unwilling to again spend fruitless days negotiating with Republicans. Instead, they said they will prepare to pass a budget this spring by simple majority vote and rely on voters to approve Browns tax proposal later in the year. Dealing with Californias budget decit and persuading voters to raise revenue with temporary tax increases will be the governors primary goals this year, Brown spokeswoman Elizabeth Ashford said Tuesday. Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said lawmakers also will focus on non-budget issues such as changes to the mortgage indus-
try, reducing the cost of college textbooks and implementing federal health care reforms. They also will consider if the state should sell voter-approved bonds to pay for high-speed rail and to rebuild the states water distribution system. A panel on Tuesday recommended that lawmakers not sell the rst series of bonds for the initial phase of the highspeed rail project, saying the current plan is not feasible. Two significant voter-approved changes will add uncertainty to lawmakers political and legislative strategies this election year. All 80 Assembly members and half the 40 state senators are up for election this year. They will run in new districts drawn by an independent redistricting commission that was tasked with avoiding partisan considerations. They also run in June under a top-two open primary system, in which the two candidates with the most votes go on to the November election, even if they are from the same political party. Proponents hope that change will favor moderate lawmakers who are more willing to compromise. Previously, the winner from each party advanced to the general election. The Legislature reconvenes just as $1 billion in midyear reductions to schools, higher education and social services kick in because tax revenue did not meet the projections Gov. Jerry Brown and Democratic lawmakers set last summer.

Young womans body found on Queen Elizabeths estate

By Gregory Katz
LONDON A murder mystery with elements of an Agatha Christie whodunit is unfolding at the vast country estate where Queen Elizabeth II and her family gathered in rural splendor to celebrate Christmas and New Years. British police said that a young womans body was found in the forest at Sandringham and that they are treating it as a murder case. An autopsy was conducted Tuesday, but the precise cause of death was not disclosed, and investigators have yet to establish the womans identity. The royal family is not implicated in the crime in any way. The body was discovered by a dog walker on New Years Day three miles (5 kilometers) from the queens elegant country home. Norfolk police said tests showed the body had been there one to four months. Police said a forensic pathologist found that it was highly unlikely the death was of natural causes and that there was no evidence of accidental injury. Investigators hoped to use DNA to identify the woman. The queen and her husband, Prince Philip, celebrated the holidays at Sandringham with their children and grandchildren. The royal couple were still at Sandringham on Tuesday, along with their youngest son, Prince Edward, and his wife, Sophie. Part of the nearly 31-square-mile (8,000hectare) estate is open to the public, and the
We are at the very early stages of the investigation and it could be a complex inquiry....The body had been there for some time.
Detective Chief Inspector Jes Fry
body was found at Anmer, a hamlet of several dozen people. Situated 115 miles (185 kilometers) northeast of London, Sandringham has two stud farms and a fruit farm and employs more than 100 people full time. Forensics investigators in white gear were seen walking through the woods Tuesday in an area cordoned off by police. We are at the very early stages of the investigation and it could be a complex inquiry, Detective Chief Inspector Jes Fry said Tuesday. The body had been there for some time. Fry said authorities were examining missing-person reports and unsolved cases around the country to see if there were any possible links. The royal family owns vast tracts of land throughout Britain, and it is not unprecedented for serious crimes to be committed on property under their control. In 2010, the body of a 46-year-old woman was found on the crown estate near Windsor Castle. She had apparently been killed by hammer blows to her head. Her estranged husband was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 26 years in prison.

KABUL, Afghanistan The Taliban announced Tuesday that they will open an ofce in the Persian Gulf nation of Qatar to hold talks with the United States, an unprecedented step toward a peace process that might lead to a winding down of the 10-year war in Afghanistan. Although U.S. and Taliban representatives have met secretly several times over the past year in Europe and the Persian Gulf, this is the rst time the Islamist insurgent group has publicly expressed willingness for substantive negotiations. In recent months, the idea of a Taliban political ofce in the Qatari capital of Doha has become a central element in U.S. efforts to draw the insurgents into such talks. The idea is to give the Taliban more legitimacy to negotiate in a location that presumably would at least partly shield them from Pakistani pressure. Asked about the Taliban announcement, White House spokesman Jay Carney welcomed any step ... of the Afghan-led process toward reconciliation. He noted that peace cannot come to Afghanistan without a political settlement.
But negotiations could falter if they do not sufciently involve President Hamid Karzais government, which the Taliban have dismissed as a puppet regime. Karzais inner circle derailed last years behind-the-scenes talks, and the Afghan leader only grudgingly agreed to the idea of the Talibans setting up a liaison ofce in Qatar. Another potential spoiler is Pakistan, which houses most of the Taliban leadership as well as the Haqqani network, which carries out major attacks in the Afghan capital of Kabul. Pakistan believes it should have a say in any talks involving neighboring Afghanistan, which it fears will develop an alliance with its archrival, India. Pakistan has rejected U.S. requests to mount an offensive against the Haqqani network, and relations between the two countries are at an alltime low following a cross-border incident that resulted in NATO airstrikes killing 24 Pakistani soldiers. As the United States begins to draw down the nearly 100,000 forces it has in Afghanistan, President Barack Obamas administration wants to use its current extensive military campaign and an acknowledged but incomplete plan for a long-term American presence in the country as leverage to draw the Taliban into talks with Karzai representatives.

the mammoth Pacic Ocean heat mass. Enter IPCCs and LLNLs Ben Santer announcing that the climate computers had always correctly predicted non-warming lulls like the current one, stating that tropospheric temperature records must be at least 17 years long to discriminate between internal climate noise and the signal of human caused changes. What sorcerers magic dwells in 17 years instead of 15 other than providing two additional years of grace prior to admissions that computer models are less than adequate? Will further self-justifying statistical minutia be offered then? But the IPCC conjured up another rabbit in the hat; on Nov. 18 came the proclamation that the real danger to humanity was not warming per se, but extreme weather. Thus the IPCC endeavors to marginalize NASAs report and instead rely on the tired old politically correct media to irrationally propagandize every weather disaster in the world permitting CO2 emissions to be inexorably condemned to justify unconscionable green taxes at a time of extreme world-wide nancial trepidations. In concert with the IPCC, media alarmists are hysterically forecasting ice-free Arctic horror stories complete with starving polar bears, conveniently ignoring the fact that the earth possesses two poles while contemptuously indifferent to the reality that the Antarctic has been accumulating ice for the last 40 years. Concerning the Arctic, the rst global warming during our current Holocene Epoch, the time between 8,500 and 10,000

en Santer, of Climate Gate infamy and contributor to all four assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an organization that shared the bogus 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former Vice President Al Gore, has as the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory climate teams lead researcher generated a new publication in the Journal of Geophysical Research. This pro-anthropogenic global warming climate research effort at LLNL attempts with this new publication a deftly crafted scientic research effort conjoined with a hazily veiled ideological statistical component to slowly validate a central planning hegemony over U.S. and world-wide production processes. If you control CO2, then you control most energy output and thus the means of production in the world economies by exploiting fraudulent logic to tax all carbon-emitting industries from the local to the international level via the U.N.s IPCC. The central madness is that man-made global warming activists at the U.N.s IPCC are in extreme dismay over how to cope with the earths lack of warming since 1998, especially so after NASA and the U.S. Solar Observatory publically revealed several months ago to expect moderate global cooling for the next 30 years owing to a quiet period on the sun with concurrent cooling of

This Norwegian team conrmed evidence of an ice-free Arctic during the aforementioned Holocene Epoch time interval. So much for hype on polar bear extinctions; if the Arctic was ice-free why did the polar bears fail to vanish given that they are not migratory? If you are going to vanquish the global economy to the stone age through cap and trade regulation, with employment of inefcient and expensive renewables over abundant, relatively economical and efcient energy sources like shale oil and gas, you at least owe it to the taxpayers to establish your policies on rational, transparent and rigorous non-ideological science opposed to the sustained and specious scientic facilitations of snake-oil politicized rubbish perpetrated by the charlatans and Ben Santer at the U.N.s IPCC.

GOP antics
Editor, I want to thank the GOP presidential hopefuls for the comic relief they are providing. Actually, their antics should be written up in the sports pages. Their tirades sound like those of the pro-sports gures who hurl invectives at other players, fans and the law and belie the designation of professional. These contenders who want to take over the leadership of this country should be ready to lead the world into peace, compassion and benet for all people. Their continued feuding hardly supports that image. I hope they grow up and tell us what they can do instead of what they will not do. of the Daily Journal, a Menlo Park parent, Bill Burnett, was arrested and booked on 44 counts of suspicion of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, because underage drinking took place in his house.

Revenue generated from a 35 percent increase in recyclables is up dramatically. Recology chose to inherit instead of renegotiate labor contracts with 7 percent cost increases, even though the CPI is less than 2 percent. Recology is proposing a new hazardous material pickup fee for all customers without conducting any studies to determine if its desired or needed. Their historical data shows only 5 percent use in other areas it has been implemented. The county offers this service at the Tower Road location at no cost.

local woman encountered a trying situation with the Toys R Us in San Mateo this week when she discovered the toy companys policy of a 90day limit on returns, even with a receipt and in the package. The tale resonated with me since I too have a newborn daughter who received gifts most of which are useful, but some are redundant and not needed. So I checked the Toys R Us website and conrmed there is a 90-day time limit for returns, and a 45-day limit for some items like electronics. In the midst of the policy, I saw that those requirements are waived during the two-week period after Christmas. With that information in hand, the woman called the Redwood City location and was able to get store credit for the items after they took down her drivers license number. I checked with the companys corporate ofce to see what the rationale was for the 90-day limit, but was asked for the information on the woman and her purchases. She declined since she was able to return the item and wanted to move on. However, I asked again by email what the rationale behind the policy was. Crickets. So, if you have unneeded items from Toys R Us that were purchased more than 90 days ago, this time period is your chance to return them. However, asking new moms or parents in general to track purchases so well seems like bad policy, particularly when there is a receipt and most people with children would probably spend the store credit and then some on other items. Maybe the corporate representative will get back to me with some answers. But probably not. In the meantime, the woman vowed to avoid shopping at the store and is in the midst of nding a new retail location to buy items for her child. I will likely do the same. How many others are out there like us? If you know of a local store with a good variety and a solid and compassionate return policy, let me know. I will pass on the information to Daily Journal readers. *** On a personal note, Im not sure Marc will ever receive his socks. Whats that you say? Whos Marc? Well, Marc is my brother-inlaw and this year, I tried to give him several pairs of socks from SmartWool. Inspired from their name, I suppose, I thought Id save the trip to REI in San Carlos and order them online. Pretty smart, eh? Well, no. That was about three weeks ago. I ordered well within the time frame for them to arrive at least a week before Christmas. As the holiday arrived, no socks. I checked in with my tracking order and saw that they were at the FedEx center in South San Francisco for about a week. I called and was told the suite number in our very small ofce building was incorrect and that they were sent back to the company. A very nice woman named Amber said they would ship them back last week. So Marc received a promissory note instead of his comfy socks that would have perfect for New Years Eve in Tahoe. This week, I received a phone message that SmartWool never received them and that they would have to send a new order and that they would arrive in ve to seven business days. At this rate, Marc will get his socks by the time its ip-op weather. Should have just gone to the local REI.

the year because workers who maxed out their contributions to retirement accounts well before the previous year ended start contributing again. These investors are back hunting for bargains, he said: Investors are a lot like dieters and look to January as a new beginning. January is a fairly good predictor of the year for U.S. stocks. Only seven times since 1950 has January turned out to be a major error in predicting the year to come, according to the Stock Traders Almanac. In other words, whichever direction the market has gone in January, the rest of the year has usually followed. The major errors are usually extraordinary events, the almanac points out. In 2001, for example, the S&P 500 rose 3.5 percent in January, but the market was rocked by the Sept. 11 attacks and nished the year down 13 percent. The rst day of the year is less useful for fortune-telling than the rst month. If you were to bet on whether the market would nish the year up or down based on how it performed the rst day, you would be right only about half the time.

NEW YORK The stock market got a big jump on a better year. After a at 2011, stocks rose sharply Tuesday in the rst trading of 2012 after investors returned from the holiday and found encouraging economic reports from the United States and around the world. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 179.82 points, or 1.4 percent, to 12,397.38, its highest close in more than ve months. The Standard & Poors 500 index, a broader gauge than the Dow, nished up almost 20 points at 1,277. The S&P nished 2011 almost exactly where it started down a sliver, 0.04 of a point. The market may have gotten an extra boost from whats known as the January effect: Investors sell stocks at the end of the year to lock in losses for tax purposes, then come back in January and buy stocks again. The effect could be more pronounced this year because the stock market was so volatile in 2011 and more investors had losses to take, said Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at Standard & Poors Capital IQ.

Citibank turns rewards into social currency
NEW YORK Credit card rewards are the new social currency. Citibank customers can now use Facebook to pool their rewards points online. The bank on Tuesday launched a Facebook application that lets users team up to use their points, whether its for charity, a group gift or a personal goal. Citi says its the rst bank to offer such a feature. The app builds on a service Citi introduced last year that lets customers transfer points to one another on the banks homepage. After getting feedback, executives decided to expand the rewards sharing capability and offer it through social media. Now were delivering it to where customers are every day, said Ralph Andretta, who heads Citis loyalty programs and co-branded cards. Andretta noted that customers will have far more exibility with their points, whether its to help a friend y home from college or team up for a big-ticket reward. The company is giving away 2,500 free rewards points to each of the rst 4,000 customers to sign up.
WASHINGTON U.S. manufacturers ended 2011 with their best month of growth since the late spring. And the struggling construction industry spent more on projects for the third time in four months. The data bolstered hopes that the economy is gaining momentum and helped Wall Street start 2012 with a bang. Factories hired more workers in December, saw the most growth in new orders since April and ramped up production. U.S. builders spent more in November on single-family homes, apartments and remodeling projects. The strong reports correspond with other positive signs for the economy. Consumer condence is up, unemployment benet applications have tumbled and the unemployment rate is at a three-
and-a-half-year low. Economists caution that Europes debt crisis will likely slow global growth in the rst half of the year. But on Tuesday, the outlook was mostly positive. The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, said its manufacturing index rose to 53.9 from 52.7 in November. Readings above 50 indicate expansion. The Commerce Department said spending on construction projects rose 1.2 percent in November. The increase was the largest since a 2.2 percent rise in August. The trend for the U.S. economy is most decidedly to the upside, said Dan Greenhaus, an analyst at brokerage rm BTIG LLC in New York. The Dow Jones industrial average rose by 215 points in midday trading. Broader indexes also climbed. Reports that manufacturing grew in China and India, two of the worlds largest
economies, also drove markets higher. U.S manufacturing has expanded for more than two years. Factories were one of the rst areas of the economy to start growing after the recession ofcially ended in June 2009. They faltered over the summer after Japans March 11 earthquake disrupted auto and electronics supply chains. The December ISM survey showed many factories have largely recovered from their slump earlier this year Exports rose despite the trouble in Europe. Growth in new orders means output will likely increase in the coming months. And U.S. factories hired last month at the fastest pace since June, an optimistic sign ahead of Fridays important measure of job growth in December. All in all, an upbeat report, said Peter Newland, an economist at Barclays Capital, who noted that the stronger manufacturing activity should contribute to faster economic growth in the October-December quarter.
Fed to regularly forecast interest-rate changes

Starbucks to raise prices in certain regions

NEW YORK Starbucks said Tuesday it is raising some prices regionally as it faces rising ingredient costs. The Seattle coffee chain is raising prices about 1 percent in the Northeast and Sunbelt regions. Starbucks wouldnt disclose all of the states its raising prices, but the regions include New York; Washington, D.C.; and most Southern states. They exclude California and Florida. Other cities where it will raise prices include Boston, Atlanta, Dallas and Albuquerque, N.M. The price for a tall coffee will go up 10 cents in the regions, and the chain will raise prices on about six other beverages. But beverages that are grande, the next size up, wont change. Starbucks spokesman Jim Olson says the prices reect competition in certain markets and higher costs for coffee, fuel and other commodities.
WASHINGTON In a major shift, the Federal Reserve will start announcing four times a year how long it plans to keep short-term interest rates at existing levels, according to minutes from its December policy meeting. The shift marks the Feds latest effort to make its communications with the public more open and explicit. The change is intended to reassure consumers and investors that they will be able to borrow cheaply well into the future. And some economists said it
could lead to further Fed action to try to invigorate the economy. The Feds rst forecast for interest rates will be included in the economic projections it will issue after its Jan. 2425 policy meeting. More guidance on rates might help lower long-term yields further in effect providing a kind of stimulus. Lower rates could lead consumers and businesses to borrow and spend more. The economy would likely benet. Lower yields on bonds also tend to cause some investors to shift money into stocks, which can boost wealth and spur more spending.
The Fed has left its key short-term rate at a record low near zero for the past three years. In August, it said it planned to leave the rate there until at least mid2013, unless the economy improved.

AT&T to pay $215 million to TiVo to settle patent suit

By Ryan Nakashima
LOS ANGELES AT&T Inc. will pay TiVo Inc. at least $215 million through June 2018, becoming the latest TV signal provider to settle a patent lawsuit involving the digital video recorder pioneer. Per subscriber, this payout will be much larger than a similar $500 million settle-
ment TiVo reached in May with satellite TV company Dish Network Corp. and its set-top box provider, EchoStar Corp. Dish had about 13.9 million subscribers at the end of September, while AT&Ts Uverse had just 3.6 million. That makes AT&Ts settlement worth at least $59.72 per subscriber, while Dishs cost $35.97 per subscriber. TiVo CEO Tom Rogers said the bigger
settlement resulted in part from the fact that AT&T heavily marketed its digital video recorders as a key difference between itself and bigger cable TV providers. From the get-go, their offering was primarily based on DVR, Rogers said. He added that TiVo is pursuing another similar case against Verizon over its FiOS service.

49ers getting groove on in practice

By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Linebacker Tavares Gooden has been known to get down and start strumming an air guitar before practice. From Bruce Springsteen to Bob Seger, from country to hip hop, and rap, rock and R&B, the San Francisco 49ers are getting nearly as much variety through their impressive sound system during workouts as they are in coach Jim Harbaughs creative offense. No doubt these playoff-bound Niners are feelin groovy. And it sure beats the crowd noise that gets
pumped into a lot of practices around the NFL to prepare teams for loud, hostile road environments. We just jam, defensive line coach Jim Tomsula said. Its cool. Its crowd noise but Ive got to admit, its fantastic. Nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga, from American Samoa, requested an island favorite by oceanic group Te Vaka. He also gets a kick out of the chanting of New Zealands traditional tribal war music, Haka. Thats just a start. This year is totally different because this is what has been missing for the last four or ve years, said Sopoaga, whose team ended an eightyear playoff drought and stretch without a winning record. Guys can open up with what we want so
we can practice better, other than people holding it from us. Its meant to be. Its great fun, and thats why were out there in practice running around and having fun, doing everything textbook-wise. Everything were doing in practice were doing on game day. Linebacker Patrick Willis wanted Lean on Me and heard it played. Right guard Anthony Davis has recommended a few of his favorite rappers. One of injured wide receiver Joshua Morgans favorites Futures Tony Montana has become the anthem for the special teams unit, and it now plays on game days at Candlestick Park. There have been the Christmas classics and patriotic melodies for Veterans Day. Jeff
Ferguson, director of football operations and sports medicine, accepts suggestions for the wideranging playlist. I kind of like the fact that hes constantly switching up, quarterback Alex Smith said of Fergie, as hes known. Some days its oldies or hard rock, some days its 80s, its rap, hip hop. Its just such a mix every day. Its nice. It pumps a little extra energy into practice. You just get so tired of the Ahhhhhh!, that white noise. Its nice to have something that changes it up. Willis isnt choosy about his ditties.

Knights primed for title run The Bay is

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
While every teams goal is to strive for a league championship, some hopes and dreams are more legitimate than others. The Hillsdale girls soccer teams goal of a Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division title is more than realistic. In fact, given the fact the Knights are moving down from the Bay Division, they may be considered the team to beat this season. Half Moon Bay would have a hard time arguing otherwise as the Knights basically did what they wanted in a 3-0 decision one that could have easily been more onesided as Hillsdale misred on several other golden scoring chances. We expect to compete for the Ocean Division title. Thats what were working for, said Hillsdale coach Samia Shoman. But we know there are other teams that want that (as well). Hillsdale (1-0 PAL Ocean) has talent all over the eld and will test defenses all season. Leading scorer Erin Russell picked up her fth goal of the year, which was far from a glamour goal, but one goal scorers make. On a free kick, Aleja Cretcher sent a ball to the right side of the Half Moon Bay penalty box where Morgan Fitch was unmarked. Cougars goalkeeper Eva Munoz came out to make a play on the ball, only to see the ball bounce toward the goal. Russell and a a couple of Half Moon Bay defenders converged on the ball, with Russell poking it into the net for a 1-0 Hillsdale lead. After that, it was sophomore Kayla Coleman who did the rest of the damage for the Knights. After Hillsdale intercepted an attempted clearing pass, Coleman received the ball at her feet 25 yards from goal and ried a shot into the upper far left corner of the net to give Hillsdale a 2-0 lead at halftime. Coleman rounded out the scoring in the second half, blasting home a shot from about 20 yards out that found the top of the net. Shes not in groove yet, Shoman said of

It has begun. Well, almost with the exception of Menlo-Atherton and Capuchino, who had their Peninsula Athletic League opener postponed because of the holiday break, the Bay Division began its regular season schedule in girls soccer Tuesday. And if this year is anything like last season, Peninsula soccer fans are in for one crazy ride. Woodside kicked off league play by beating Burlingame 1-0 behind a goal in the 62nd minute courtesy of freshman Lauren Holland. The goal came in a half where the Wildcats appeared the hungrier team. They rode that intensity to the victory. It was a very good win, said Woodside coach Jose Navarette. It was a very good effort. They were organized, they were sharp and they were hungry. Youth will be the theme for Woodside this season 11 players on Navarettes roster are underclassmen. The Wildcats are also transitioning to a different style of play, why with the graduation of Taylor Duffner its no longer a matter of kicking the ball downeld and watching the forward work her magic. On Tuesday against the Panthers, Woodsides play was highlighted by the scrappy and tough midfielders Randall Stafford, Lindsay Ringman and Heather Seybert. Theyll be instrumental if Woodside is going to turn youth into victories in 2012. Weve been striving for this game, Stafford said. We knew it was going to be really important. Its a great experience, especially for the new girls, to come out and get this win. I dont know if were one of the favorites, Navarette said when asked about Woodsides place in the Bay this season. But were getting better so people better not overlook us.

For the CSM Bulldogs, the real fun begins tonight. After a 10-7 run in the preseason, the College of San Mateo womens basketball team heads into the regular season knowing that the next 10 games will all be battles. Four of the Northern Californias top 15 teams call the Coast Conference North home,
with CSM currently ranked 14th. Chabot checks in at No. 8. Foothill and City College of San Francisco are 1-2 respectively. As a whole, the North owns the best overall record of any conference in the state combined the teams are 68-30. Only one team has a losing record and that mark is 7-8. Scared? The Bulldogs arent. Ours is the toughest division in the state, no doubt about it, said CSM head coach Michelle Warner. Its denitely going to be a
battle every night and thats why we wanted to play as tough a preseason as possible, get the experience so we can go out there and have a chance to compete every night. The Bulldogs have the luxury of a tested group of veterans who wont be intimidated by rankings or reputation. According to Warner, thats a great thing heading into league play. I think experience is huge, she said. You can tell people what its going to be like but
until they actually experience it themselves they dont know. They dont understand the intensity, the speed or the physicality of the game until they get into it. These sophomores know what its like. Experience is huge. According to Warner, despite back-to-back losses in the tough Foothill Tournament to end the preseason, her Bulldogs might be hitting their stride offensively.

leaves as the unanimous choice for the No. 1 pick, which the Indianapolis Colts hold, and at the head of a Stanford class that raised expectations for every team that follows. They came in with the mindset that they are going to make a splash here, Shaw said. That they were going to show the nation that you can be a high academic institution and go to BCS bowl games and make it happen, that there are young men out there that are looking for what Stanford University has to offer, which is the best of both worlds. We are not going to shy away from that. Thats our mission. And these guys, Andrew in particular, were at the forefront of that. Lucks legacy is unmatched in Stanfords history. He owns almost every major school passing record, including most touchdown passes in a single season and career. And Luck will be lauded on campus for his unconventional decision to return after last season, risking millions to nish his degree in architectural design and take shots at a Heisman Trophy, Pac-12 title and national championship. He fell short of most of those goals. Instead, hes right back where he was a year ago: ready to be the NFLs top pick, only with another year of experience and just a few classes away from earning his degree. Yes, it was worth it, Luck said. Not to say I enjoyed every moment, because I didnt. But I would never regret it. I felt I grew a lot as a person, as a player. Just in life, I learned a lot. Got a chance to be around guys like Chase and Delano. I think weve forged unbelievable friendships and had a chance to play a great college football game. Denitely worth it. Finding his replacement is a process not expected to be completed until the fall. Sophomore Brett Nottingham beat out juniors Josh Nunes and Robbie Picazo for the backup job this season, and Nottingham showed remarkable efciency albeit in mop-up duty in limited action behind Luck. Redshirts Kevin Hogan and Evan Crower will also compete for the starting job beginning in the spring.

Rebuilding begins at Stanford Crisp staying with

STANFORD The time every Stanford supporter has dreaded has nally arrived. The Andrew Luck Era is over. As one of the most promising and productive periods in the programs history ends, the real challenge for rst-year head coach David Shaw begins this offseason: Keeping the Cardinal among the nations elite. Even without Luck. Since hes ofcially not completely mine anymore, I will completely go over the top and say that hes a Hall of Fame college football player, Shaw said. They come around every 20 years or so. He hates to hear that, but it is the doggone truth. Heres another truth: Stanford faces a radical rebuilding project in Lucks wake. The No. 4 Cardinals 41Andrew Luck 38 overtime loss to thirdranked Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl on Monday night will forever mark the nale of Lucks brilliant college career. In the years to come, the date also will symbolize either the start of Stanfords dip back to mediocrity or the dawn of a new day of dominance on The Farm. After all, the exodus goes well beyond the two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up. Offensive linemen Jonathan Martin and David DeCastro are set to join Luck as projected rstround picks in Aprils NFL draft and much of the supporting cast on both sides of the ball is graduating, including top tight end Coby Fleener and starting safeties Michael Thomas and Delano Howell. Junior linebacker Chase Thomas is still deciding whether to return. While all had roles in Stanfords turnaround, Luck had the most lasting impact. A losing program when Luck arrived, the Cardinal (11-2) have been to consecutive BCS bowls the past two seasons and Luck has cemented his place among Stanfords greats. He
Oakland for now

By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Free agent center elder Coco Crisp agreed to a two-year contract to return to the Athletics, lling one key void in the Oakland outeld heading into the 2012 season. A person with knowledge of the negotiations on Tuesday conrmed Crisp would return to the As, a deal worth $14 million rst reported by ESPN. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team hadnt made a formal announcement and details were still being Coco Crisp finalized. The contract also includes a club option for 2014. Crisp, who generated inquiries to varying levels from about half of the major league clubs this winter, had hoped to continue playing on the West Coast. The As already lost left elder and slugger Josh Willingham and right elder David DeJesus in free agency earlier this offseason, then outelder Ryan Sweeney was traded to the Boston Red Sox last week along with All-Star closer Andrew Bailey. Earlier Tuesday, the As announced they had traded outelder Jai Miller to the Baltimore Orioles for cash considerations. Miller was designated for assignment by Oakland on Dec. 23 after the As received four players in a trade with Washington that sent starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez to the Nationals. The 32-year-old Crisp has batted .269 with 16 home runs, 92 RBIs, nine triples and 81 stolen bases in his two seasons with Oakland, which is in rebuilding mode in hopes of being
able to relocate to San Jose, construct a new ballpark and become a big spender though the San Francisco Giants hold the territorial rights to Santa Clara County. As is customary with the low-budget As, general manager Billy Beane has unloaded several star players in recent weeks, including starting pitchers Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill, Bailey and fellow reliever Craig Breslow. Crisp is likely to have newly acquired Josh Reddick playing alongside him. Reddick came to the As in the trade with Boston last week. The 24-year-old Reddick, who began last season at Triple-A Pawtucket before being promoted in late May, batted .280 with seven homers and 28 RBIs in 87 games for the Red Sox in 2011. He can play any outeld spot. Crisp played his rst four seasons with Cleveland three in Boston and one in Kansas City prior to joining the As. He appeared in only 75 games during an injury-plagued 2010 season, but made the most of his chances when he was healthy. The As exercised their $5.75 million option on Crisp for 2011, when he rebounded to play in 136 games and stole a career-high 49 bases and was caught stealing nine times. The As went 74-88 last season but made strides after Bob Melvin came aboard as manager in June in place of Bob Geren. They havent posted a winning record or earned a playoff berth since being swept in the 2006 AL championship series by Detroit. In 2010, Crisp went on the disabled list in April with a broken pinkie nger and was placed on the DL again in May with a strained ribcage muscle. Crisp broke the pinkie a second time on Sept. 18 and missed the remainder of the season.
Warriors, Nate Robinson close to signing contract

By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Two people with knowledge of the negotiations say the Golden State Warriors are close to signing guard Nate Robinson, who was released by the Oklahoma City Thunder last month. The people spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the deal was yet to be nalized or formally announced by Golden State. The Bay Area News Group rst reported the pending signing of Robinson, who would join a small backcourt also featuring Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry. Fellow former University of Washington star Isaiah Thomas of the Sacramento Kings rst tweeted the news. Robinson, the three-time NBA Slam Dunk champion, will provide depth at the guard spot as Curry has already sprained his troublesome, surgically repaired right ankle twice this season after going through the same thing several times last year. At 5-foot-9, Robinson makes Curry and Ellis each 6-foot-3
look big. The Warriors are 2-3 under rst-year coach Mark Jackson heading into Wednesdays game at San Antonio. Thunder general manager Sam Presti announced the 27-year-old Robinsons release Dec. 24. Robinson didnt attend Oklahoma Citys training camp after the lockout lifted, with Presti saying then that it was unlikely he will have an opportunity to contribute on a nightly basis. A midseason acquisition last season from the Celtics, Robinson appeared in only four games with three playoff appearances during his short tenure with the Thunder. He averaged 3.3 points and 1.5 assists in 7.5 minutes per game. Robinson, a seventh-year pro, was acquired from Boston as part of the deal that brought center Kendrick Perkins to the Thunder at the trade deadline last season. During the offseason, Robinson was arrested for urinating in public outside a bookstore in a New York City suburb.

Making the win even more important is that is featured the return of midelder/striker Lilly Discher, who skipped the high school season last year to focus on her travel team. With her return, the Cherokees have a Player of the Year candidate. Her importance was on display against Westmoor as the senior had two goals and an assist. But Discher is far from the only player on whom Sequoia will rely as coach Melissa Schmidt returns every starter from last season. Right now, the defense is carrying the Cherokees and that unit is held down by junior sweeper Skye Picker, the Ocean Division Defense Player of the Year in 2010-11. She does a fabulous job controlling our back line, Schmidt said. I expect her to be huge again this year. The Cherokees also return two center midfielders, Kate Boudreau and Katie Hutchinson, who take turns triggering the a strong run inside the 18 and chipped it into the net for the goal. Burlingame had a couple of moments where they could have equalized, most notably on a shot by Rachel Byrd in the 77th minute. But on Tuesday, it just wasnt meant to be. I cant be all that negative, DeRosa said, but all-in-all, we did not play with the same intensity. They have to play 80 minutes, as opposed to 40. Eighty minutes of effort is what its going to take against every team in the Bay Division this season. Aragon appears to be the slight favorites heading in. The Dons are coming off a 3-0 win against Terra Nova. A couple of days removed from not being able to score against St. Ignatius, three of Aragons four forwards came away with goals Kimi Petsche, Angela Knowles and Addy Eveslage. It was a welcomed sight for coach Will Colglazier, who said his team focused on offensive efciency in the days leading up to Tuesdays win. The Dons have the luxury of a couple of stud players on all three lines. In the back, Rachel Killigrew will be a force. In the mideld, Marissa Bonglio will provide ample support offense. Theyre both just really good at feeding the ball and controlling the middle, Schmidt said. Were relying a lot on them to advance the ball and get it to our forwards. South City appears to be the top team in the north part of the county and coach Dan Marcucci is condent his team will also be in the mix for a Central Coast Section spot that goes to the Ocean Division champion. Weve always been a contender, Marcucci said. Weve been around (the top of the division), but have never been to the top. But this is a good team. It has the capacity to win it. The Warriors are young, but that youth gained a lot of experience last season, which Marcucci hopes will translate to more wins this year. Stacy Garcia, the 2010-11 Goalkeeper of the Year, returns this year and anchors the defense, with Alma Gomez and Veronica Ramirez providing a potent scoring punch. Melissa Escamilla will be charged with being along with newcomer Kat Drake. Up top, Aragon can be dangerous with the likes of Knowles and Eveslage, plus the presence of Petsche who is strongest with her back to goal. Were denitely not going to take anyone for granted, Colglazier said. If you take a nap at any moment, any team can get a goal against you. Were not going to overlook anyone. The key will be whether the Dons can start strong in the seasons beginning half Aragon is known for starting a bit slow and picking it up in the seasons latter part. Menlo-Atherton head coach Paul Snow expects his girls to compete and be near the top of the Bay table. The Bears return two key cogs, Jennifer Kirst and Naomi Pacalin, who are at full strength in 2012. We have a very talented team. We have a fast team. If we dont nish in the top three, I say Id be a little surprised, Snow said. The Bears have come heart-breakingly close to the playoffs the last two years, only to see Carlmont sneak past them at years end. Speaking of Carlmont, the Scots picked up win one against San Mateo Tuesday, 1-0. For Carlmont, 2012 will be all about defense and according to head coach Tina Doss, they have

Coleman, adding shes been working through some injuries. The Knights were led by the play of Ella Perez, who terrorized the Half Moon Bay defense all game long. The only thing missing was a goal despite having several chances. This is going to be her rst, full season. She wants the ball. Shell possess the ball, shell distribute the ball, Shoman said of Perez. Shes the one who people go, Who is No. 7? While Hillsdale may be a early front-runner for the league race, Sequoia is already serving notice it will have a say in who nishes on top. The Cherokees opened the Ocean Division season was an impressive 6-0 win over Westmoor Tuesday.
The last couple of games weve played, Ive seen big strides, Marcucci said. I can see them getting even better as the season goes along. After the top three or four teams, there are another three or four teams who could jump up and surprise the favorites if theyre not on their game. Mills has been in the mix the last several seasons, but are going through a bit of a rebuilding project this year. Half Moon Bay showed some ashes against Hillsdale, and look to have a strong defense. The Cougars put up some goals in the preseason, so Tuesdays result might have been just rust following a long break between games. El Camino, Jefferson and Westmoor will be ghting to avoid the bottom of the table. In my ve years here, the level of play in the Ocean has really elevated, Sequoias Schmidt said. plenty of it. Its a super solid defense, Doss said. I have a very strong team, very individually skilled, very good in possessing the ball. Our issue is, we might have trouble scoring. But teams are going to struggle to score against us. San Mateo did on Tuesday. And as its been the case for head coach Daire OConnor, the problem heading into the 2012 season wont be creativity its going to be nding the bonade goal scorer that can turn pretty balls by the likes of Shannon Wischer into points. Its going to be hard to break us down and score on us, OConnor said. But offensively, were going to try and develop with each game, get stronger with each game. We just need to nd a little more chemistry up top. OConnor said he nally has most of his players healthy which will allow him to move some pieces around and give players like Jennifer Ticzon some added support up top. While those are the favorites, teams shouldnt sleep against a Terra Nova, who gave Burlingame a nice run in the Panthers home tourney. Capuchino will struggle, who a couple of ugly losses already in the preseason against the likes of Hillsdale and Burlingame.

The one thing is, we are going to come in and compete every game. We may not get the results that we want, but we will compete. For Burlingame, the 30-minute pow-wow at the end of its loss spoke volumes as to the frustration they were feeling. Young themselves, coach Phillip DeRosa knows the talent he has in place can do some things, but its a matter of gelling and playing consistently for 80-minute stretches. I think the old saying is, you have a tale of two halves, DeRosa said. First half we played with a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of effort, and we were pretty successful. The second half, we just didnt have that same effort and when the ball is played on your side of the eld, things happen. What happened against the Panthers began with a nice ball from Seybert out to Ringman on the right ank. The sophomore carried the ball to the end line and crossed it to Holland who made

Chargers keep Turner, G.M. for 2012
SAN DIEGO San Diego Chargers President Dean Spanos has decided to keep coach Norv Turner and general manager A.J.

Spanos made his decision Tuesday, two days after the Chargers nished Norv Turner 8-8 by beating Oakland to keep the Raiders out of the playoffs. Turner is 49-31 in ve years in San Diego but only 3-3 in the playoffs. He is 107-113-1 in three stints as a head coach, including with Washington and Oakland. Both of those teams red him. San Diego went 4-1 at the beginning and end of the season but was undone by a six-game losing streak in the middle. One more win would have earned the Chargers the AFC West title. Smith has come under re for the erosion of talent from a roster that at one time was considered among the NFLs best.

I dont think Ive ever had only nine turnovers. And our offense is coming together well. Everyone is moving the ball, we have a lot of assists. So, offensively, things are looking good. Were just trying to crack down on the defensive end and get more rebounds. Hannah Salah is CSMs leading rebounder at 6.4 per game. Kimmie Fong continues her strong overall play.

We mostly use it as crowd noise, so its for a bigger purpose. And the 49ers might have a new one to pipe in now: Bay Area rapper Bailey has released a new song inspired by Harbaughs regular cheer of Whos got it better than us? Nobody! Im buying in, linebacker Parys Haralson said of the music mix. I dont know who makes those recommendations, but I like it. I dont care. As long as it gets us going were good.

I think were still improving every game. I dont think weve peaked yet, Warner said. Anyone can score at any time if we move the ball. Its just learning to pass well, move the ball well and read the defense. The key for CSM in conference play, according to Warner, will come on the defensive end. Obviously, we can press some teams. But some teams have really good guards and those are the teams we have to work on the rest of our
half court defense.. There are still parts of our game that we are working on. The girls are focused. Having eight sophomores, they understand the length of the season and the focus they have to have and the intensity they have to step up with because if you dont play intense against City (College of San Francisco) and Foothill youre going to get run off the court. Speaking of the Rams, CCSF marks opponent one in the Coast Conference gauntlet.

In fact, Kyle Williams big brother, Kenny, can listen in from his home less than a mile from team headquarters. At the time, Harbaugh said he had been working for eight weeks to make the upgrade for a louder music system. Theres a little bit of everything for everybody, punter Andy Lee said. Even veteran wide receiver and return man Ted Ginn Jr. has become more open-minded about music. Its great to go out and hear different things and different cultures of music throughout the practice, Ginn said. Its kind of amazing how something you might not listen to all the time can get you going or something you might hear for the rst time that somebody else might have known, and we all relate on it.

Egyptians vote in final round of election
CAIRO Egyptians voted Tuesday in the nal round of elections likely to seal the domination by Islamists over the countrys new parliament as secular activists grew increasingly worried over the possibility of an alliance between the powerful Muslim Brotherhood and the ruling military. Activists point to what they call mounting signs of a conuence of interests between the Brotherhood, who are set to be the biggest bloc in the next parliament, and the ruling generals. The result, they fear, will be a shelving of reforms for greater democracy that they hoped for after the Feb. 11 fall of President Hosni Mubarak. Some very turbulent months are ahead of us, said prominent rights lawyer and activist Negad Borai.
Hearty and healthy pork stew

Sarkozy accuses Syrian regime of massacres

BEIRUT French President Nicolas Sarkozy issued a new call Tuesday for Syrian President Bashar Assad to step down because of massacres by his regime, and an Arab League ofcial said it will discuss withdrawing an observer mission to the country due to the ongoing bloodshed. While the Arab League said some progress was seen in Syria by the team of monitors who began working last week, it noted that the mission was still in its early stages. But Sarkozy insisted that Assad must leave power. The massacres being committed by the Syrian regime rightly arouse disgust and revolt in the Arab world, in France, in Europe and everywhere in the world, Sarkozy said in a New Years address at a navy air base in Lanveoc-Poulmic, France.
Its winter. Its cold. You want something hearty. But youre also trying to eat better and dont want to ruin your diet by diving into a cream-laden casserole. A lean stew is just the thing you need. Instead of being heavy, its hearty with virtuous veggies, lean protein and warm seasonings. We start with a pork tenderloin, sear it for maximum avor, then simmer it in a avorful broth. Once the pork is tender, we shred it for a pulled pork effect, then add in lling and nutritious vegetables. Sweet potatoes load on the ber and vitamin A, while cabbage packs yet more ber, as well as vitamins. By the time you throw in the leeks, onion and celery, youve got a super healthy and satisfying stew. To top the whole thing off, we add a dollop of calcium-rich yogurt topping inspired by thousand island dressing to add a little touch of tangy creaminess.
A hearty stew does not have to be bad for you.

1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek-style yogurt 2 tablespoons ketchup 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish Chopped fresh dill, to garnish Cut the tenderloin into slices 1 1/2 inches thick. In a bowl, toss the sliced pork with the olive oil. Heat a large saucepan over mediumhigh. Add the pork and brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. It does not need to cook through. Add the onion and leek and continue to cook until the vegetables soften and begin to brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the caraway seeds, fennel seeds, celery seeds, mustard, black pepper, orange zest, orange juice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until the pork is very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. When the pork is tender, use a slotted spoon to remove the meat from the liquid. Using 2 forks, shred the pork to bite-size chunks, then return it to the pot. Add the sweet potato, cabbage and celery. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, ketchup and relish. Serve the stew topped with a dollop of the yogurt mixture and a sprinkling of fresh dill.

NEW YORK RedFarm is a trendy Chinese restaurant full of quirks, like a menu featuring Pac-Man dumplings and pastrami egg rolls and a rustic decor more Americana than Mandarin. But perhaps the biggest curiosity of all is the man working the front end of the restaurant on a busy weeknight the guy who came up with RedFarms concept and is a reigning monarch of New York Citys Chinese food scene an affable 62-year-old white man. Ed Schoenfeld has been involved with some of New York Citys most notable Chinese restaurants since the 70s. Part gourmet, part showman, Brooklyn-bred Schoenfeld has done the improbable and thrived in the often insular world of Chinese restaurants. And RedFarm could be his most unique trick yet a much-buzzed-about restaurant that reveres Chinese food even as it makes playful tweaks. He hopes to expand the concept into take-out next year. The younger generation thinks that authentic is good. I dont believe that. I dont think homemade means good. I dont think grandmothers cooking is good. I dont think authentic is good, Schoenfeld said during a recent interview at the restaurant, located at 529 Hudson St. In the West Village. I think good is good ... my own priorities are for deliciousness over authentic. With its mismatched chairs and red-andwhite-checked booths, RedFarms look is a far cry from the dragons-and-calligraphy motif of many Chinese restaurants. Likewise, chef Joe Ngs creations can veer into almost surreal. The Katzs pastrami egg roll does indeed include a slice from Manhattans famous Katzs Delicatessen (We made kind of the ultimate New York Jewish, Chinese item, Schoenfeld said). The Pac-Man dumplings are multi-colored video game ghosts with sesame seed eyes. Schoenfeld calls these items head turners. Schoenfeld, with his snowy beard and suspenders, has been likened to P.T. Barnum a comparison he seems to relish. He is not shy about offering strong opinions, usually in the middle of a story about Chinese culinary history or New York Citys roiling restaurant scene. Speaking just before a Tuesday dinner rush, Schoenfeld asserted that RedFarm is clearly the best Chinese restaurant in New York City, and boasted that RedFarms celebrated dim sum chef Ng can make 1,000 kinds of dumplings. He said the restaurant has turned away 15,000 people since it opened in late August and that its high-tech toilet cost thousands.
Pastrami egg rolls from Chinese food maven Cookbook:Eat like a Supreme Court justice

Ed Part gourmet, part showman, Brooklyn-bred Schoenfeld has done the improbable and thrived in the often insular world of Chinese restaurants.
The food is fun, he said, And then at the end when its all over the ush is fun. RedFarm has been a hot spot since it opened in August with Ng in the kitchen and prominent restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow as a nancial partner. Midweek walk-ins regularly need to wait at least 30 minutes for a table. As Schoefeld sees it, Ng is the artist of RedFarm, and he is the director. Its a role he has been playing throughout his professional life. Schoenfeld was a young man from Brooklyn with dreams of becoming the next James Beard or Craig Claiborne when he became fascinated by Chinese food. He was in the right city at the right time. A number of top-ight Chinese chefs who had lost their wealthy patrons after the communist revolution had come to the United States starting during the mid 60s following the loosening of immigration laws. The chefs showed Americans reared on chop suey the pleasure of Sichuan and Hunan cuisines. Schoenfeld did a sort of Chinese food immersion: He took cooking lessons, hosted dinners and met a lot of people. One was Chinese restaurant impresario David Keh, who hired him and eventually made him captain and the maitre d in 1973 at Uncle Tais (which would become one of two city restaurants to debut an Americanized version of General Tsos chicken, though not the version that caught on nationwide). I said, If youre going to open a midtown restaurant and you think a white guy would make sense for you, think of me, Schoenfeld recalled. And six months later he called me up. Schoenfeld recalls greeting diners in a wide-lapelled blue polyester tuxedo that made him look kind of like Bozo the Clown, but he knew the food and the job opened doors. He created and opened a dizzying series of restaurants through 1993. There was The Bear in Woodstock for Bob Dylans manager, Albert Grossman. He partnered with Keh on a series of restaurants, including Pig Heaven, which served Chinese food in a barn-like atmosphere complete with straw on the oor. Madame Chiang Kai Sheks former chef worked in the kitchen. There was Cafe Marimb in 1984, Vince & Eddies in 1990, Fishin Eddie in 1991 and Chop Suey Looeys Litchi Lounge in 1992, among others. He sold his shares in all the restaurants in 1993 to concentrate on consulting for others. Quotable and knowledgeable, Schoenfeld has long been a go-to guy for reporters seeking an expert on Chinese cuisine. I always say hes a boy from Brooklyn who fell in love with Chinese food and he
WASHINGTON U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburgs children banished her from the kitchen decades ago her tuna sh casserole the target of family jokes. Dinner duties instead fell to her husband, an accomplished tax lawyer who became a talented chef. When he died last year, Martin Ginsburg left behind well over 100 recipes he had perfected, including cookies beloved by his grandchildren and cakes baked for the birthdays of Supreme Court justices. Now, with the help of another high court justices wife, those recipes have become a cookbook. Chef Supreme: Martin Ginsburg was published this month. It contains nearly 50 of Ginsburgs creations, ranging from a vepage treatise on the perfect baguette to a frozen lime soufi favored by his wife. Ginsburg said her husband would be overjoyed. He was quite an artist in the kitchen, and he wanted to communicate to others the pleasure that he derived from making something successfully, Ginsburg said in a telephone interview. If he hadnt become an attorney, he might have gone to culinary school, she said. My husband was a great tax lawyer, but we had more cookbooks than tax books at home. We had an entire section in the living room three sets of shelves from oor to ceiling with nothing but cookbooks, she said, adding that he read them with the same interest he read mystery novels. After Martin Ginsburgs death from cancer at the age of 78, Martha-Ann Alito, the wife of Justice Samuel Alito, proposed compiling a cookbook in his memory. Alito said in an email that the idea came to her when the spouses were gathered together at the court. One of the goals as spouses is to be supportive to each other as well as the court fam-

more important than abortion or health care, according to a survey of early caucus-goers. Nearly a third of those surveyed said they most wanted a candidate who could defeat Obama, and those favored Romney as a group. Paul and Santorum split the votes of the one in four who called the selection of a true conservative their top priority, and the former Pennsylvania senator also made a strong showing among those who said their top priority was a candidate with a strong moral character as well as among late deciders. Paul had an edge among younger and rst-time caucus goers. The survey by Edison Media Research for the Associated Press and television networks was based on interviews with 1,737 people arriving at 40 precinct caucuses across the state. Obama was unopposed for the Democratic nomination. Even so, his reelection campaign set up eight ofces across Iowa, made hundreds of thousands of calls to voters and arranged a video conference with caucus night supporters. This time out is going to be in some ways more important than the rst time, the president told Democrats across the state. Change is never easy. The Iowa caucuses outsized importance was underscored by the estimated $13 million in television advertising by the candidates and so-called super PACs as well as thousands of campaign stops designed to sway 100,000 or so voters. Ironically, the weak economy that has made Obama appear vulnerable nationally was muted as an issue here. Despite areas of economic distress, the farm economy is strong. Iowas unemployment in November was 5.7 percent, sixth lowest in the country and well below the national reading of 8.6 percent. cooked at and delivered from kitchens around the city. For instance, the exacting tasks of making dumplings would be performed at a central location before delivery to a kitchen. Schoenfeld explains that would offer quality control to keep the dumplings as good as the ones served at the restaurant as good as the Pac-Man dumpling left on a plate over the course of lengthy interview. This has been sitting out for a long time, he said, holding the dumpling between his thumb and nger. This is supple. In Chinatown, it would be hard. He pops it in his mouth and chews, highly satised. This is an A-plus dumpling!
COOKBOOK
ily. Marty led the way with perfect pitch, she wrote, adding that Ginsburgs culinary creations awed and delighted. With the help of the Supreme Court Historical Society and a CD of Ginsburgs recipes, which he had typed so he could easily share them with dinner guests, about 150 of his recipes were whittled down to 47. Only one of his three recipes for celery root made the cut, for example. The editors also tried to choose recipes he cooked often and those that showed his humor and knack for explaining. Cooks who attempt his Decadent Chocolate Bombe, for example, are told that, Only a crazy person would try to make this dessert on a single day. A recipe for shrimp pasta says whole milk can be substituted for heavy cream, in which case: your sauce will still be very good and your arteries not so bad. And his instructions for Chicken Liver Pate, which involve lighting apple brandy on re, explain, Your ceiling is not likely to burn. When the going is going to get tough, he tells you ahead of time, said the books editor, Clare Cushman. Martin Ginsburg met his future wife on a blind date when they were both undergraduates at Cornell University in New York. The couple entered Harvard Law School a year apart, though she nished her degree at Columbia University when her husband took a job in New York. He followed her to Washington in 1980 when she became a federal judge, taking a position as a professor at Georgetown Law School. Around that time, their children decided that dads cooking until then reserved for weekends and special occasions was vastly superior to moms. I was phased out of the kitchen by my food-loving children, Ginsburg said. Martin Ginsburg explained the result this way: As a general rule, he said in 1997, my wife does not give me any advice about cooking, and I do not give her any advice about the law. This seems to work quite well on both sides. His wifes biggest booster, he enthusiastically took on the role of Supreme Court spouse after President Bill Clinton appointed her to the court in 1993, making her the second female justice. He was a regular participant in lunches held by the justices spouses, and interspersed throughout the 126-page cookbook are their remembrances. For example, Maureen Scalia, wife of Justice Antonin Scalia, remembers Ginsburg volunteering to make fresh bread for an event when he learned she planned to use store-bought. The Supreme Court gift shop began selling the cookbook in early December, and the Supreme Court Historical Societys website also sells it. The rst printing sold out and another is under way. Prots from the book, which costs $24.95, go to the society to support programs and scholarship on the court. Ginsburg said she hasnt tried to make any of her husbands recipes and hasnt taken up cooking since his death. Their daughter, who inherited her fathers love of cooking, visits once a month to ll the justices freezer with dishes.
IOWA
Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann was far behind. Her campaign manager, Keith Nahigian, suggested she might drop out, but she seemed to signal otherwise a short while later. I believe that I am the true conservative who can and who will defeat Barack Obama in 2012, she declared. Returns from 1,749 of 1,774 precincts showed both Romney and Santorum with 24.6 percent and Paul with 21.5. Romney had 29,683 votes, Santorum had 29,673 and Paul 25,976. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich had 13 percent, followed by Texas Gov. Rick Perry, 10 percent, and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann with 5 percent. No matter how close the nal results in Iowa, there were no plans for a recount. Doug Heye, a spokesman for the state party, said the ballots were counted under the supervision of campaign representatives who certied the totals. He said the numbers were double-checked when they were reported to state ofcials and there was no reason to check them again. On to New Hampshire, Gingrich said to the cheers of his supporters, vowing to carry on his campaign no matter the Iowa outcome. The former speaker led in the pre-caucus polls as recently as a few weeks ago, only to fall under the weight of attack ads run by a super PAC run by allies of Romney. Paul, too, said he was looking forward to the nations rst primary in a weeks time, telling supporters his was one of two campaigns with the resources to do the distance. Theres going to be an election up in New Hampshire, and believe me this momentum is going to
continue and this movement is going to continue and we are going to keep scoring, he told supporters. The Texas lawmaker didnt say so, but the other campaign already built for a long campaign was Romneys. The former Massachusetts governor was closeted with aides and his family as he sweated out the caucus count in a state that humbled him four years ago. This time, win or lose, he appeared destined to draw a smaller share of the vote than the 25.2 percent he did then. Each of the three in the top tier strove to create a distinct identity and brought a different style to the race. Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator, ran the old-fashioned way, spending parts or all of 250 days campaigning in the state in hopes of emerging as the preferred conservative alternative to Romney. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, brought organization and money to the table, and was aided by deep-pocketed allies who ran television commercials attacking former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and others. That allowed Romney to take the high road in person, running as a former businessman who knew how to create jobs and defeat Obama. Paul, the Texas congressman, was something of a blend of the two approaches, with money and organization. He drew on the support of younger caucus-goers with a libertarian-leaning approach that included a call to legalize marijuana and bring home U.S. troops from overseas. Whichever among the three eventually nished ahead, it appeared likely the winners share of the vote would be a record low for GOP caucuses in the state. Former Sen. Bob Dole had 26.3 percent support in 1996, when he won. This time, the economy and the federal budget decit were top issues, judged could bring another location and he wants to launch a high-quality home delivery service around the city. While Chinese delivery storefronts are as ubiquitous in New York as manhole covers, they usually are small operations with near-identical menus of moo-shu and the like. Schoenfeld believes New Yorkers would happily open their wallets a bit wider for higher quality RedFarm food. By and large, take-out in New York City is about little mom-and-pop neighborhood places where you get a lot of food tasty food, not necessarily the best quality, but good enough. Under his vision, fresh food would be prepared at a centralized location, then

hasnt looked back since, said Ed Levine, founder of the website Serious Eats. Levine gives Schoenfeld high marks for his creative touch and for his deep knowledge of food. I think its hard being a non-Chinese Chinese food expert because people tend to pooh-pooh your knowledge or it seems somehow politically incorrect to recognize your knowledge and skills, Levine said. RedFarm is actually a rst step in another big Schoenfeld idea. Next year

Cardamom: How to use it

he typical grocer sells some 50,000 different products. The typical shopper buys the same 264 over and over again. The point of this column? To persuade you to take a second look at some of the 49,736 foods that dont usually land in your cart. Cardamom, for example. This spice aisle resident is a master of blurring the sweet-savory line. Yet most people know it only (if at all) for the rather dull cookies named after it. But cardamom is way more than a cookie, and it belongs on the dinner table as much as in desserts. First, the basics. Cardamom is a seed that is related to ginger and originated in India (both of which explain why it makes frequent appearances in Indian sauces, chutneys and rubs). The taste is citrusy and oral, as well as warm and peppery. Cardamom is sold whole (black seeds in a greyish-green pod) and ground (a ne greyish-blue powder). While the avor is best when you get whole pods and grind them as needed, raise your hand if you can admit thats too much trouble. To demo how easy it is to use an overlooked ingredient like cardamom to overhaul your weeknight cooking, I created this simple roasted chicken and potatoes. Dont want to do

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, orange zest, 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, the garlic powder, cardamom and pepper. Set aside. In a 9-by-9-inch metal roasting or baking pan, toss the potatoes with the remaining tablespoon of oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Arrange the potatoes in an even layer. Use a pastry brush to coat the chicken thighs with the honey mixture under and over the skin. Arrange the chicken pieces over the potatoes. Cover with foil and roast for 35 minutes. Uncover and roast for another 15 minutes. Transfer the meat and potatoes to a plate, cover with foil and set aside. Set the roasting pan over a stovetop burner on medium-high heat.

potatoes. The almonds also can be replaced with roasted peanuts or cashews.
My goal was simple a company-worthy dip that didnt involve a heart-stopping volume of sour cream. If it also could be fast and easy to assemble, even better. Because face it, we need all the help we can to manage the chaos of cleaning and cooking that ensues any time company comes. Especially during the holidays. Which is how I came up with this easy sweet potato dip spiked with chipotle peppers. Cooked sweet potatoes are blended with almonds, garlic, lemon juice, chipotle peppers and classic chili seasonings for a rich and creamy dip. Serve it with pretzels, tortilla chips, toasted baguette rounds, carrot sticks or hunks of atbread. This dip also is easy to dress up. Spoon it into a bowl, then top it with finely diced red onion, chopped scallions, a pinch of smoked paprika and even a dollop of sour cream. This recipe also is incredibly versatile. If you have leftover roasted potatoes (sweet or otherwise), use those and just skip the cooking part. Or consider substituting steamed or roasted carrots for some of the sweet

With the processor running, drizzle in the olive oil and process until completely smooth. Taste, then season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready.

Backers of millionaire tax target Kardashian

SACRAMENTO Kim Kardashian, the model who has parlayed reality TV fame into a personal fortune for her family and herself, is the target of a new online advertising campaign asking Californians to support a proposed ballot initiative to raise taxes on its wealthiest residents. An online video from the Courage Campaign ashes images of Kardashian living the good life and proclaiming that being on TV has changed my life, because you get lots of free stuff. The video says Kardashian made $12 million in 2010 but paid just 1 percentage point more in California income taxes than someone making $47,000 10.3 percent vs. 9.3 percent. The video ad, which is posted at www.Taxkimk.com , urges Kardashian to support the proposal for a tax increase. Not everyone was born a Kardashian, but we all need to pay our fair share, it says. A spokeswoman for Kardashian, Pearl Servat, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday from the Associated Press. The Courage Campaign and the Kim Kardashian California Federation of Teachers are among the groups backing a so-called millionaires tax that would raise income tax rates by 3 percent to 5 percent for individuals who make more than $1 million a year. Proponents say the tax would raise about $6 billion to help fund public schools and local services that have been hit hard during the recession, such as social services, programs for the elderly and public safety. Forbes magazine estimated Kardashian made $12 million in 2010. Through their reality TV show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians and other promotions, Kardashian, her two the ground oor, said last night that times have changed and the city risks losing the startup company as it did with YouTube and AdMob. Both of those companies started in downtown San Mateo and then relocated out of the city as they expanded operations. The citys Planning Commission denied the application for a special use permit in November and Musich appealed that decision to the council. So far, Musich said, he has spent more than $6,000 with the city as it has reviewed his request. The city only allows retail sales, personal services, restaurants, theaters and banks in the area under the citys Downtown Plan, which requires retail frontage in the area. Musich sought a special use permit under the Downtown Plan to allow a ground-floor dependent office for SnapLogic but the Planning Commission determined the use is not allowed since SnapLogic would neither City reghters at the scene. Several nearby businesses were evacuated, Smith said, but there were no other injuries reported. Fines are possible, Smith said, but it was not determined yesterday to whom the garbage actually belonged. A construction company shares the parking lot and garbage area with other businesses. The hazmat team would neutralize any sisters and their mother have created a celebrity brand name for themselves, appearing in endorsements for everything from weight-loss products to fast food. Their father, Robert Kardashian, was an attorney and close friend of O.J. Simpson who played a prominent role in his murder trial. After a lavish, made-for-TV wedding event last summer that reportedly netted the couple millions of dollars in royalties, Kim Kardashian led for divorce in October, citing irreconcilable differences just 10 weeks after she wed NBA player Kris Humphries. The couples star-studded, black-tie ceremony was held at an exclusive canyon estate near Santa Barbara in the seaside enclave of Montecito. Kardashian wore three different designer wedding gowns, complemented by her 20.5 carat engagement ring. The couples wedding registry at a Beverly Hills jeweler totaled $172,000 and included such items as a $1,650 coffee pot and two $1,250 sterling silver vegetable spoons. conduct a majority of its business faceto-face on the site nor serve clients on an unannounced or drop-in basis such as retail establishments do. The code is in dire need of revisions, Councilman Jack Matthews said last night. Much of the councils discussion on the item last night centered on the specic language of the code and how it could be interpreted. Councilman David Lim suggested the code did allow for the council to grant the special use permit but staff and City Attorney Shawn Mason disagreed. The council opted not to deny the Collective Antiques application, however, and table it to a future date so the Musich family would not have to reapply for the permit if the city code were to change.

The citys Chief of Planning Ron Munekawa said reviewing the Required Retail Frontage Requirements would take anywhere from six to eight months to complete. Tabling the application, however, will likely cause SnapLogic to leave downtown, the building owner said last night. The code was adopted to protect retail uses downtown during the dot-com boom when demand for ofce space was high.
