More funds to be available for schools, County programs, services and special districts Dissolution of redevelopment agencies benefits County residents SUBMITTED BY GWENDOLYN MITCHELL AND LAUREL ANDERSON On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Count delivered its decision in the California Redevelopment Association et al. v Matosantos et al. case, finding the provisions of ABX1 26 (the "Dissolution Act") constitutional and ABX1 27 (the "Alternative Redevelopment Program Act") unconstitutional. The Court's decision means all RDAs will be dissolved under the constitutional Dissolution Act and none will have the opportunity to opt into continued existence under the unconstitutional Alternative Redevelopment Program Act. The Court's decision is final. The Dissolution Act: Continues the suspension and prohibition of most redevelopment activities in effect since late June 2011; dissolved RDAs as of February 1, 2012; creates "Successor Agencies" and "Oversight Boards" to continue to satisfy
enforceable obligations of each former RDA and administer the dissolution and wind-down of each dissolved RDA; and establishes roles for the County Auditor-Controller, the State Department of Finance and the State Controller's Office in the dissolution process and in the satisfaction of enforceable obligations of former RDAs. Successor agencies are responsible for the direct management of the wind-down process, under the purview of the Oversight Board. Successor agencies are primarily responsible for the initial creation of the schedules of enforceable obligations and for making the necessary payments under the approved schedule to wind-down RDA affairs. The California Supreme Court’s decision adopted arguments made by Santa Clara County, a party to the case. The result is that scarce public dollars will return to schools, counties, fire districts and other local agencies to perform vital public services. Statewide, RDAs were diverting 12 cents of every property tax dollar away from schools, counties, cities and special districts. This amounts to $5.5 billion each year, mostly from schools. “The California Supreme Court has issued its definitive decision upholding the action of the legislature and we’re prepared to take the next steps,” said President George Shirakawa, Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors. “Although it will be awhile before we actually see useable revenue, these funds may make it possible to create jobs and programs
that will help people to become more employable.” “The state’s decision to dissolve redevelopment agencies means that more local property tax revenue will go directly to schools, cities, and the county,” said Supervisor Mike Wasserman, Chair of the County of Santa Clara Board’s Housing, Land Use, Environment and Transportation Committee. The dissolution of the redevelopment agencies in Santa Clara County will eventually result in $286M in revenue each year being returned for local priorities. After the debts of the RDAs are paid, every year a substantial $143M will be returned to the schools. As a result, some school districts in the county will likely become basic aid districts, which also will give them more revenue and better control over how the funds are used. Over the past 10 years, the County has reduced annual budgets by more than $2 billion, resulting in the loss of jobs and contraction of programs that contribute to the overall wellbeing and vitality of the area. These reductions were necessary, partly because of the economic downturn and partly because property tax dollars were diverted from county general funds to redevelopment agencies. “The redevelopment agencies went beyond their legislated purpose – the elimination of blight – to become economic subsidies for private development,” said County Executive Jeffrey V. Smith. “While there is no argument that many worthwhile buildings were constructed, the continued on page 14

Healing Hearts Minimally invasive surgery saved the life of one local man
One night last April, Michael Lingle awoke out of a sound sleep because he couldn’t breathe. He felt like he was drowning. A tiny valve in his heart had become damaged and it was leaking fluid into his lungs. “It turns out the valve wasn’t closing properly,” Lingle said. “I could see the damage when they showed it to me on an ultrasound.” About 5 million people in this country are diagnosed with valvular heart disease each year, according to the American Heart Association. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and a major cause of disability. February is designated American Heart Month to raise awareness about heart disease and ways to prevent it. It’s not clear what caused the damage to Lingle’s mitral valve, which regulates the flow of blood from the upper-left chamber of the heart to the lower-left chamber. He didn’t have rheumatic fever as a child, which raises the risk. In early 2010, Lingle’s cardiologist told him he heard a heart murmur, which must have been the sound of the valve flapping. But Lingle said he felt fine and didn’t give it much thought until that night in April.

If something doesn’t thing doesn’t seem right, get to the doctor.”
Pioneering Technique Lingle was referred to Dr. Jon-Cecil Walkes, chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Washington Hospital, who has pioneered a minimally invasive technique for mitral valve repair surgery. Last June, Walkes was able to repair Lingle’s mitral valve through small incisions in his chest. In the past, mitral valve disease had been treated by removing the damaged valve and replacing it with a new one through a large incision in the chest. Surgeons had to break the breastbone so they could open up the

Quicker Recovery Minimally invasive heart surgery offers a number of benefits, including quicker recovery times, according to Walkes. “People get back on their feet faster,” he said. “The risk for infection is lower and there is less blood loss, reducing the need for blood transfusions.” That was the case for Lingle, who spent only four days at Washington Hospital after the surgery. “I received great care in the hospital, but I was ready to go home,” said Lingle, who lives in Fremont. “It was Father’s Day and I just wanted to get home and be with my family.” He said fortunately he had been in good health Lingle was eager to get back to hunting and fishing after his before the surgery, which helped with his recovery. minimally invasive heart surgery.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
The Strange History of the Volkswagen Beetle BY JERRY HARKAVY, FOR ASSOCIATED PRESS ``Thinking Small: The Long, Strange Trip of the Volkswagen Beetle'' (Ballantine Books), by Andrea Hiott: The Volkswagen Beetle has a unique and colorful history, with principal characters that include the Nazi dictator who personified evil, the legendary designer of Germany's most celebrated race cars and the Jewish advertising executive who pioneered a creative revolution on Madison Avenue. It's a story whose twists and turns over four decades eventually gave rise to the oddly shaped small car that came to symbolize America's 1960s counterculture and went on to become the world's top-selling car model. Author Andrea Hiott transports readers through the most turbulent decades of the 20th century, from the rise of Adolf Hitler to the Allied victory that left postwar Germany in ruins, to that nation's economic rebirth epitomized by the success of the Volkswagen plant at Wolfsburg. A car enthusiast who never drove an automobile or held a driver's license, Hitler had a vision for a ``people's car'' that would extend to Germans the same mobility that Henry Ford's Model T gave Americans. The dictator set out to build a network of autobahns and erect a massive factory in a pasture to build what he decreed to be The Strength Through Joy Car. The genius chosen as its designer was Ferdinand Porsche, who was told to produce a prototype by 1935 so that 1 million cars would come off the line
within three years. But with Hitler bent on war, the plant's mission shifted to arms production, and output shifted to mines, bazookas, V1 flying bombs and jeeplike utility vehicles. Among the surprises in Hiott's comprehensive account is the importance of the plant's location in the British occupation zone to its ultimate success. Another big ``what-if'' is the 1947 decision by Ford to pass up the chance to acquire Volkswagen. The reason, according to the author, was the plant's proximity to the Soviet Bloc at a time when the Cold War was taking shape. As Wolfsburg started turning out Beetles in increasing numbers, Volkswagen sought to market it to American motorists in an era of bigger cars, dazzling chrome and outsize tail fins. To challenge that mindset, they teamed up with Bill Bernbach, whose quirky ad agency launched a campaign that prompted a significant number of car buyers to ``Think Small.'' The book also features the role of Heinrich Nordhoff, a veteran of General Motors' Opel division before the war. It was his organizational and managerial talents that helped put Volkswagen on the path to prosperity as a key element of postwar Germany's ``economic miracle.'' Hiott's account should appeal to history buffs, car enthusiasts and readers who delight in a fascinating story. The release of the book coincides with the debut of the 2012 Beetle that marks the second time the much-loved car is brought back by popular demand.

SUBMITTED BY CITY OF HAYWARD Two of Hayward’s established Chinese restaurants were honored at the “Top 100 Chinese/Asian” 8th Annual Awards Show and Conference (Top100.ChineseMenu.com), sponsored by Chinese Restaurant News, at the Santa Clara Convention Center on January 9, 2012. Hayward Councilman Olden Henson attended and presented several awards. The overall mission of the Top organization is “to present the best of Chinese & Asian cuisines to the American and Cana-
l-r, Mayor Mike Sweeney, May Liang (Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant), Councilman Olden Henson
dian public.” There are more than 46,000 Chinese restaurants within these jurisdictions, so recognition is no mean feat. Awards were presented in the following categories: Top 100 Hall of Fame Restau-
rants; Top 100 Signature Dishes; Top 100 Local Favorites; Top 100 Takeouts; Top 100 Buffets; Top 100 Healthy Menus; Top 100 Rising Stars, and Top 100 Asian Restaurants (Dining Excellence). New West Lake Restaurant (320 Jackson Street, Hayward) was recognized for their Peking Spareribs in the Top 100 Signature Dishes category; this establishment’s excellent dim sum menu is widely recognized and draws customers from far and wide. Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant (661 West Tennyson Road, Hayward) was honored in the Top 100 Takeouts category and is recognized regionally for their good food, reasonable prices and delivery service. Mayor Michael Sweeney and Councilman Olden Henson presented the awards to Ms. Ka Liang, New West Lake Restaurant, and Ms. May Liang, Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant, at the February 7, 2012 Council meeting. “Congratulations to both establishments. One could see the tough competition at the Santa Clara County Convention Center; there were restaurants from all over the world, such as Australia and Canada. Given the Bay Area’s great restaurants, I was surprised the overall winner was from Abilene, Texas!” remarked Henson. “Nevertheless, we had the opportunity to do some tasting so I can attest to the fact that New West Lake Restaurant and Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant are two of the finest, not only in the country but in the world.”

Inmate adds pig image to Vt. police cruiser decals AP WIRE SERVICE MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP), A Vermont prison inmate who makes stationery and license plates has gotten the best of the state police by adding the image of a pig to the state decal on their cruisers. One of the spots on the cow in the state crest has been changed to the shape of a pig, a derogatory term for police. The 16-inch car door decals are made by prisoners in Windsor.
State police discovered the pig images Wednesday. They say they believe the decals have been added to about 30 cruisers in the past year. Who made the modification and when is being reviewed by the Department of Corrections. Corrections Commissioner Andy Pallito said Thursday new decals will be made by Monday for about $800. The Burlington Free Press newspaper first reported the pig decals. qqq
CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio (AP), A woman who called the wrong number when she suffered a stroke still found help a couple of time zones away. Loretta Smith, of Cuyahoga Falls near Akron, felt her right side go numb and fell to the floor at her home last weekend. The 70-year-old Smith said she was able to grab the phone with her left hand and thought she was calling her son. Instead, she was one digit off and reached a man in the Denver area who was originally from northeast Ohio and had kept the same number after he moved. “It was a woman, and she said ‘I may be having a stroke,” said Kenny Crater, 28, a sculpture major at Metropolitan State University in Denver. Crater asked for her name and address and offered to get help. His 911 call was answered by Broomfield, Colo., police, who transferred his call to Cuyahoga Falls. Smith was taken to Summa Western Reserve Hospital in Cuyahoga Falls, where it was determined that she had suffered a mini-stroke, said Dr. Joseph Nienaltowski. Smith said Crater saved her life.”I want this kid to be praised to high heaven,” she said. Crater said Smith had done her part, too. “I do not feel like I have done anything special,” he said. “I didn't save her,” Crater said. “She found me.”

Kennedy High receives green planning grant SUBMITTED BY JEFF BARBOSA
J
ohn F. Kennedy High School, Fremont is receiving $15,000 in planning grant funds from the state Clean Technology and Renewable Energy California Partnership Academy program (SBX1 1). The funds are being used to plan the Green Technology Academy at Kennedy High in collaboration with the Mission Valley Regional Occupational Program (MVROP) to educate and train students for opportunities in the industry. “The community support for this type of educational program is tremendous,” said Assemblymember Bob Wieckowski, who was among those advocating for the program during the grant application process. Wieckowski co-chairs the state Assembly’s California Clean Energy Economy Select Committee. “The collaboration among Kennedy High, Mission Valley ROP, labor and the local business community was instrumental in obtaining this planning grant. “It’s still in the early stages but the goal is to graduate students with the knowledge and skills to pursue a career in this expanding field.”
“I’m very excited about this new venture and its unlimited opportunities and possibilities for Kennedy High students,” Kennedy High Principal Tom Hansen said. MVROP is collaborating with Kennedy High to share its business and industry advisors, its industry-certified instructor and Construction Technology program to serve as the Career Technical Education (CTE) component for the pathway. MVROP already has a successful working partnership with Kennedy High, providing the CTE capstone course for Kennedy High’s Green Ventures Academy. “Students will benefit from real world learning opportunities through internships, technical lectures from trade experts, job shadowing, hands-on projects and communitybased learning,” said MVROP Superintendent Pete Murchison. Further development for the Green Technology Academy will occur during an industry advisory meeting to discuss facilities needs, review curriculum and solidify the unique educational partner relationships that will prepare students for college, the workforce and success in the green labor markets.
Bill strengthens program for domestic violence and sexual assault victims SUBMITTED BY ANDREW LAMAR Senate Majority Leader Ellen M. Corbett (D-San Leandro) introduced legislation on February 14, 2012, to strengthen the state’s Safe at Home program, which provides victims of domestic violence, stalking and sexual assault confidentiality for their protection. The bill clarifies inconsistencies in the law regarding the program and makes Safe at Home services clearer, more efficient and more effective. The program, administered by the secretary of state, has served more than 4,500 Californians since 1999. “Safe at Home is an incredibly valuable program that gives many victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault a new lease on life,” Corbett said. “Sadly, cases of sexual assault, domestic violence and stalking afflict millions of Americans each year. We must do everything we can to support these victims and help them restore normalcy to their lives.” The new legislation, Senate Bill 1082, follows a measure authored last year by Corbett that keeps personal, identification information for Safe at Home participants off the Internet. SB 636 was signed into law and took effect on January 1, 2012. Survivors of these terrible crimes often continue to live in fear. Even after moving away from an abusive partner or predator, survivors can put themselves or their family members at risk with simple, everyday tasks, such as opening a bank account, getting a driver’s license or enrolling a child in school.

At what cost to basic community services? At what cost to our children?

The new paradigm will measure wealth based on employment and the ability to provide for one’s family.” “Not only will funding go to schools and special districts, it also will help with the county's senior programs, health care, transportation, libraries and public safety,” said Supervisor Dave Cortese. “I hope to see more money going into the county's general fund for Valley Medical Center to keep emergency rooms open and to pay the $2 billion per year needed for the Healthy Kids fund. Eventually, it could mean the elimination of library fees that were introduced last summer to help keep county libraries open and functioning," Cortese continued. Under the wind-down procedures, the County AuditorController has a substantial role in implementing the dissolution process. Earlier this month, the Board of Supervisors appointed representatives to serve on the Oversight Boards as required by the Dissolution Act.

BY JILL SCHRAMM MINOT DAILY NEWS MINOT, N.D. (AP) - Light standards that are doing their jobs don't tend to draw attention to themselves. So only the observant might have noticed the solar panels and wind turbines that are energizing two street lights on a frontage road along U.S. Highway 2 through Stanley. The green energy lights are a demonstration project of Solargy Lights of Neche, located near the Canadian border in northeastern North Dakota. Although the company continues to refine its lighting product, it already has orders that it expects to begin filling this summer. “We have lots of interest from all around the country, around North America,'' said the company founder Jim DeSeyn.
The company is working to enhance the controller that operates the self-contained system. The development team wants to create a ``smart'' controller that could automatically adjust lighting in response to motion or length of day or that could trigger a heating element for the system battery on frigid days. The battery stores energy for use at night when there is no sun and the wind might be calm. DeSeyn's involvement with solar energy came about through a business associate in California, who invited him to look into a solar light concept that interested her. The idea caught his attention not only for its business potential but because it had the ability to help people, he said. However, the original product needed to be completely re-engineered. DeSeyn said he put a lot of continued on page 28

Necklace flushed down toilet returned months later AP WIRE SERVICE SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - A California woman has her gold necklace back months after she accidentally flushed it down her toilet. San Rafael sanitation district employees were performing routine cleaning work on a pipeline last month when they came across Ann Aulakh's necklace. Aulakh's friend had left a message with the district after the chain was lost. Sewer Maintenance Supervisor Kris Ozaki said workers remembered the message and used it to trace the necklace back to Aulakh. A worker dropped it off at her home. Aulakh told the Marin Independent Journal (http://bit.ly/yB9mQ6) the necklace was a gift from her husband on their first Christmas together in 1993. She said she was convinced it was gone for good after she inadvertently flushed it down the toilet in October. Information from: Marin Independent Journal, http://www.marinij.com

Female high school athletes win major Title IX class action SUBMITTED BY LEGAL AID SOCIETY-EMPLOYMENT LAW CENTER In a potentially precedent-setting decision, Judge James M. Lorenz of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California on Thursday, February 9 ruled in favor of a group of female athletes in a Title IX class action lawsuit against the Sweetwater Union High School District. The judge determined the school district unfairly favored boys’ sports over girls’ sports at Castle Park High School (CPHS) by giving the boys better athletic facilities, resources and opportunities. The parties are to submit the proposed compliance plan within 45 days of the filing of this order. The case, Ollier v. Sweetwater Union High School, et al., was filed in 2007 by the Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center, California Women’s Law Center, and Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP. The student plaintiffs sued for injunctive relief under Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments, which bars sex discrimination in education, including athletic programs. The case detailed the consistently superior quality of playing and practice facilities for the boys’ football and baseball teams, compared to those provided for the girls’ teams. The boys had dedicated locker rooms for just the football team and access to the best athletic amenities. Female athletes did not have comparable facilities. The fields where the girls were required to practice and play were overused, rundown and sometimes unsafe.
In his order, Judge Lorenz noted: “The balance of hardships weighs firmly in plaintiffs’ favor. The inequalities demonstrated at trial should have been rectified years ago by the district. Plaintiffs are entitled to injunctive relief. Defendants are required to comply with Title IX in all aspects of its athletic programs and activities.” “This victory not only validates the arguments of this group of students, but equalizes the playing field for future girl athletes who deserve an equal high school experience to their male classmates,” said Manatt Litigation partner Erin C. Witkow. “It’s about comparable facilities for boys and girls today—and tomorrow. The schools have to comply and continue to comply, and provide an equal opportunity for student athletes— no matter their gender.” When parents and students complained about these Title IX violations at CPHS, the administration retaliated against the girls by firing their highly qualified and beloved coach, and refusing to allow qualified parents to assist the new coach, despite the fact that the baseball team was still allowed to have parent coaches. In April 2009, Judge Lorenz issued summary judgment on one of the claims, ruling that CPHS allowed “significant gender-based disparity” in sports at the expense of female athletes. February 9th’s ruling was made in favor of two remaining claims brought by the class: continued on page 18

Electric car charging stations at W Silicon Valley SUBMITTED BY ROSANNE OBERST W Silicon Valley has partnered with ChargePoint Network to offer four fully operational electric vehicle (EV) charging stations for guest and visitors. ChargePoint is a network of electric vehicle charging stations that offer numerous opportunities to recharge your EV away from home. W Silicon Valley is the only hotel in the Newark, Fremont, and Union City area that currently has EV charging stations, and is positioned nicely by the Dumbarton Bridge. “We are very conscious about becoming more of a green and sustainable hotel, and it’s important that we continue to be a great trend setter for other hotels and companies within the area,” says Director of Sales and Marketing Rosanne Oberst. These new stations will fully charge a Nissan Leaf, for example, in three hours. The stations are low maintenance and managed through ChargePoint by Coulomb Technologies Inc. in Campbell, California. One of the oldest and broadest networks of
charging stations, ChargePoint lets consumers charge their cars at 750 locations around the country without subscriptions. ChargePoint stations are mostly built by Coulomb but are owned and operated by businesses or local governments. he hotel will charge for the service in increments of $5 per hour per charging session, and this can be done with either a ChargePoint card or a credit card that uses Blink (a built in chip). In case a guest has neither, a phone number is displayed at the station to call in a credit card number. The number is 1-888-7584389, or log in at www.chargepoint.net. Although there are no subscriptions, ChargePoint customers who register can plug into the entire network of stations using an online system that lets them schedule charging appointments and pay with a ChargePoint payment card. Registered members set up online accounts that are used to preload the payment cards with money and to locate and make appointments at the stations.

Female high school athletes win major Title IX class action that the District did not provide both sexes equal treatment and benefits, and that the District retaliated in response to complaints of sex discrimination. “I’m very happy with the outcome of this lawsuit. I hope this will mean more athletic opportunities for all students at Castle Park High School, but especially for girls,” said Veronica Ollier, plaintiff and former CPHS student and softball team member. “I hope this will lead to more college-bound female athletes from Castle Park High School. The outcome was absolutely worth the wait.” “With this victory, future generations of girls at Castle Park High School will get the same opportunities and treatment as boys at the school,” said Naudia Rangel, plaintiff and former CPHS student and softball team member. “That’s all I wanted from this lawsuit. I just wanted things to be fair. I’m proud that we changed the future for female athletes at Castle Park High School.” “The Sweetwater Union High School District had numerous opportunities to solve this problem,” said Vicky Barker, Legal Director of the California Women’s Law Center. “But instead of addressing the stark discrepancy between the girls and boys athletic programs, they chose to go to court and continue these clearly discriminatory practices. We thank all these courageous young women for coming forward to fight against this unfair treatment at their school and we thank Judge Lorenz for
holding the School District accountable for its actions. “Title IX is almost 40 years old, yet we still see this type of blatant discrimination against young girls all across the country,” said Elizabeth Kristen of The Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center. “And this is not just about athletics or physical fitness. High school girls who participate in team sports are less likely to drop out of school, less likely to smoke or drink, or become pregnant. And they are more likely to go on to college. The skills that young women gain from sports participation, including teamwork, leadership, and discipline, are crucial to their later success in higher education and employment.” Although Title IX cases filed on the college level are highly publicized, discrimination is just as likely to occur at the K-12 level. Discrimination in elementary and high schools often goes unchecked because younger athletes and their parents may not be aware that anti-discrimination laws apply to public educational institutions as well as to most private educational institutions if they receive federal funding. Each school system is required to implement and enforce Title IX. For more information about the Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center, visit www.laselc.org.

BY MATT VOLZ, ASSOCIATED PRESS HELENA, Mont. (AP) - Attorneys who accuse Greg Mortenson of defrauding readers in his best-selling “Three Cups of Tea” say his case is no different from that of James Frey, who admitted on the “Oprah Winfrey Show” that he lied in his memoir “A Million Little Pieces.” That lawsuit ended in a settlement that offered refunds to buyers of the book. Mortenson has asked a judge to throw out the civil lawsuit that says he fabricated portions of his book, saying that if it is allowed to proceed, other authors could be subjected to similar claims and the result would be a stifling of the free exchange of ideas. “Plaintiffs should not be allowed to create a world where authors are exposed to the debilitating expense of class action litigation just because someone believes a book contains inaccuracies,” attorney John Kauffman wrote in the filing late last month. But the plaintiffs' attorneys argue in court documents filed Tuesday the lawsuit should go forward because of the
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
precedent set by class-action lawsuit against Frey. The two cases are ``nearly identical,'' they said. “The facts in the (Frey) case are stunningly close to the facts in this case, but not nearly as compelling,” wrote attorney Alexander Blewett. The lawsuit claims Mortenson lied about how he began building schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan and fabricated other events in the books “Three Cups of Tea” and “Stones Into Schools.” The attorney who led the Frey lawsuit, Larry Drury, is also a plaintiffs' attorney in the nine-month-old case against Mortenson. Winfrey chose “A Million Little Pieces,” for her book club in September 2005, boosting its sales, which eventually topped 3.5 million. But then Frey acknowledged on Winfrey's show in January 2006 that he had lied in the memoir of addiction and recovery. A judge in 2007 certified a class-action lawsuit by disgruntled readers against Frey, and the resulting settlement offered a refund to anybody who bought the book
before the falsehoods were acknowledged. Only 1,729 people asked to be reimbursed, costing Random House $27,348. The attorneys in the case were paid $783,000 in fees. Haddon has not yet scheduled a hearing on whether to dismiss the claim against Mortenson. The lawsuit accuses the Montana resident of being involved in a racketeering scheme to turn him into a false hero, defraud millions of people out of the price of the books and raise millions in donations to the charity. The other defendants allegedly in on the scheme are co-author David Relin, publisher Penguin Group and Mortenson's Bozemanbased charity, Central Asia Institute. Mortenson's accusers seek reimbursement of all the money that was made from his books. The lawsuit has been amended four times, with a changing cast of plaintiffs who now number four. The lawsuit was filed a few weeks after author Jon Krakauer and “60 Minutes” revealed in April 2011 discrepancies in
February 24, 2012
“Three Cups of Tea” and questioned whether Mortenson was benefiting from his charity. Meanwhile, Montana prosecutors are moving ahead with their own investigation into Mortenson's charity, saying they plan to update the public about the investigation in the next few weeks. The Montana attorney general's office is investigating whether the Central Asia Institute broke any laws that govern non-profits in Montana. Assistant Attorney General Jim Molloy said investigators have reviewed thousands of pages of documents and interviewed Mortenson and others connected to the charity. He declined to say what the investigation has revealed but said his office would be updating the public within a month. The state's probe does not involve the merits of the accounts contained in Mortenson's books, he said. Mortenson has denied wrongdoing and has kept out of the public eye since having heart surgery last year. In December, the Central Asia Institute said in its year-end letter that Mortenson would no longer be involved in the charity's day-to-day management and that it was looking at expanding its three-person board of directors.

The Bookworm
It was hardly worth picking up. Yep, there was once a time when that penny you spotted on the pavement was worth something more than just one cent. You could buy lots of things for a penny back then, and saving them was rewarding on many levels. Now they’re tossed and forgotten in desk drawers and fountains, or lost beneath cushions. You almost can’t give pennies away these days, and you probably won’t bother picking one up off the pavement. But what will happen if critics get their wish and pennies are eliminated? Or paper dollars, or $100 bills? Find out in the new book “The End of Money” by David Wolman. For most of human history, people lived quite nicely without money. We traded and bartered, which worked fine until it became necessary to keep track of inequalities in resources and trading. Specified objects were the first markers of wealth and commerce, with the invention of coins not far behind. And ever since, our attitudes toward money have been sort of mixed. You’ve heard, for example, that money is the root of all evil but to some, credit cards are the Devil’s vehicle to the End

Times. Others hate that “filthy lucre” can be taken literally, and that cash and coins “harbor all kinds of bugs.” And because money doesn’t grow on trees, still others point to the huge resources required to make coins and bills, only some of which is sustainable. Still, though it costs money to make money, the government keeps on producing it (for a tidy profit) and we keep on using it, knowing that it’ll always be around. The words “In God We Trust” are nice, in fact, but the reason money works is because we trust the government to uphold its value. Still, much like every transaction, we get change. If it seems like you rarely see $100 bills, it’s because most of them go overseas for drug deals and crime. If it seems like our paper cash is constantly changing, it’s to stay one half-step ahead of counterfeiters. And if it seems like there’s got to be a better, more efficient way than our paper-and-metal method, there is… and it might be as close as your pocket. If you look after your pennies, they say, your dollars will take care of themselves. But “The End of Money” looks at both, and what you’ll learn is surprising. With thoughts worth way
more than a penny, author David Wolman tried for several months not to touch cash, partly as an experiment for this book and partly because of money’s germiness. He traveled during this time, to countries with jaw-dropping inflation,
places where cash is not king, villages in which poor people learn how to collect wealth, and locales where counterfeiters hope you’ll repeatedly part with foolish money. Whether you’ve got greenbacks or gravy, pennies, pounds, or plastic in your pocket, I think you’ll find “The End of Money” extremely interesting. Money might not buy happiness, but reading this book is the next best thing. c.2012, Da Capo $25.00 / $28.00 Canada 228 pages, includes index
US agency defends confiscation of woman's cupcake AP WIRE SERVICE PEABODY, Massachusetts (AP) - The federal Transportation Security Administration is defending its decision to confiscate a frosted cupcake from a woman flying from Las Vegas' airport.
The TSA says in a blog comment posted Monday that the cupcake was packed in a jar filled with icing, which is considered a gel under a policy designed to secure travelers from terrorists seeking to evade detection by using explosives made of plastics, liquids or gels. Rebecca Hains, of Peabody, Massachusetts, was barred from taking her cupcake onto a plane last month when a TSA agent said icing in the jar exceeded amounts of gels allowed in carry-on luggage. Hains has called that “terrible logic.” The TSA says travelers can take cakes, pies and cupcakes through security checkpoints but should expect they might get additional screening.

Fremont Police Log SUBMITTED BY DET. WILLIAM VETERAN, FREMONT PD February 16: A residential burglary was reported on Ridgewood Drive. The reporting party could not identify a point of entry; however, the rear slider was found wide open and the front door unlocked. Another residential burglary occurred at the Casa Arroyo Apartments. Unknown point of entry and loss at this time. February 17: Officers Luevano and Lawrence were conducting a security check at the Motel 6 north when Luevano spotted an adult male wanted for burglary. The suspect was walking with a friend as Luevano set up a hasty perimeter. Luevano arrested the suspect, but his associate escaped. Officer Dexter was taking a Burglary report across the street when Luevano put out description of the two suspects. The description matched Dexter’s suspects, so he did a drive by with a witness producing a positive ID. Nice work by all including Detectives Shadle and Martinez who assisted at the scene. Officer Bocage was dispatched to an in-progress residential burglary on Roanoke Way where the reporting party was watching the burglary unfold. Sergeant Codey set up the perimeter, and six minutes later, an adult female exited the victim house with her ill-gotten
booty. Officer Bocage arrested her along with two males who were waiting in the get-away car. Officer Martinez assisted on this case as well. A well-known transient was harassing customers at the Safeway- Five Corners. A witness saw the male cursing at a mother and young child.

The reporting party attempted to confront the male who fled; an area check was conducted with negative results. Investigated by Officer Fuellenbach and FTO R. Smith. The male was described as a white male 4550 years old, wearing blue jeans, blue jacket and a baseball cap. CSO Goralczyk responded to assist on a traffic collision with minor injury. After the tow trucks left the scene and involved parties departed, one subject was left at the scene; apparently, the family forgot their father behind. CSO Goralczyk assisted the father in calling the family who returned from San Ramon to pick him up. Officer N. Johnson was dispatched to a suspicious circumstance near the Country Club Apartments on Hansen. There was a disturbance and a male was

Are mutts smarter than purebred dogs? Among the biggest victims of the economic recession are the once beloved family pets surrendered to shelters as their owners deal with extended joblessness. The U.S. Humane Society estimates six to eight million dogs and cats enter shelters each year—three to four million of these are euthanized. “We don’t have firm numbers but we know anecdotally that the communities that have been hardest hit by the economic downturn are seeing that reflected in their shelter intake numbers,” says Inga Fricke, director of sheltering issues for the U.S. Humane Society. “Unfortunately, while the majority of the public is in favor of adopting pets from shelters, very few—usually about 20 percent—actually do. That has recently gone up slightly to the mid-20s.” Retired police officer and dog-lover Irvin Cannon gives voice to man’s best friend in his new book, For the Love of Dog Tales. Fricke and Cannon hope people getting back on their feet will consider adopting a shelter dog. “You won’t find a better companion, whether you bring home a mystery mixedbreed or a purebred Labrador,” Cannon says. “Everyone thinks mutts are smarter and generally much healthier, but really, it all depends on their mix of breeds and which breed strain is dominant.” Border collies and Rottweilers are two of the smartest breeds, Cannon says. But they have other traits, too, which are just as important to consider when choosing what dog best suits your lifestyle. Remember: dogs are as individual as people. A dog’s breed, or breed mix, is no guarantee that it will have certain traits. That said, border collies tend to need lots of room to run and lots of attention—they are high-maintenance, Cannon says. If you cannot spend a lot of active time with them, they will be unhappy and you will have problems.
Rottweilers are fast learners and loveable family animals, but they also tend to have bold personalities associated with pack leaders. If you do not think you can assert your authority, or if you have young or shy children, you might want to consider a more submissive breed. Dominant dogs that are allowed to bully their family members can become dangerously aggressive. Here are some other tidbits regarding breeds: • Other dog breeds known for intelligence: Shetland sheepdogs, golden retrievers, Labrador retrievers, poodles, Australian cattle dogs, Papillons and Doberman pinschers. • Bulldogs, beagles and Basset hounds all start with “B” but get much lower grades for smarts. • It is a myth that mutts have fewer health issues than purebred dogs. Although some breeds have tendencies toward problems such as deafness, blindness or hip dysplasia, it is important to remember that these are genetic issues that are inherited. So, if your mixed-breed includes some German shepherd, it may also have hip dysplasia (a problem with joint bone structure). • If you are in the market for a purebred dog, you have a 25 percent chance of finding one— although maybe not the breed you want—at a shelter. If your heart is set on a specific breed, check your area for a rescue group specializing in that breed. For more information about Irvin Cannon’s book, visit www.FortheLoveofDogTales.com.
The Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus), also known as the Peregrine and, historically, as the Duck Hawk in North America, belongs to the family Falconidae. It is a wide-spread, crow-sized bird of prey with a blue-grey back, barred white under-parts and a black head and "moustache." The Peregrine is the fastest member of the animal kingdom, reaching speeds of 202 mph during its hunting stoop (high speed dive). It is the world's most widespread bird of prey, found nearly everywhere on Earth, except in extreme Polar Regions, very high mountains and most tropical rainforests. It is entirely absent, however, from New Zealand.
Hayward Animal Control brought a female Peregrine Falcon, which had been found running around on the ground along the Hayward Shoreline, to Sulphur Creek Nature Center on October 12, 2011. On arrival, she was very thin but showed no signs of injury. Blood work and X-rays did not reveal anything untoward. After three weeks, she had gained 200 grams and had started to fly again. She was released on December 2, 2011, where she had been found along the Hayward Shoreline and flew beautifully. She circled her liberators several times, gradually gaining altitude, then off she went!

thought into development and marketing before taking the step of contacting a university that could offer the kind of technical assistance that he sought. Although he had a choice of universities from around the country, he decided not to look further after contacting the University of North Dakota's Center for Innovation. With the aid of the center, the company now has a team working on the project, a second office in Grand Forks and a website at http://www.solargylights.com. DeSeyn, who has a background in engineering, product development and logistics, is president of Solargy Lights. Project manager is Alex Johnson, Ph.D., an instructor in UND's Department of Technology who has experience in industrial technology in the private sector. Serving as consultant is Yong Hou, Ph.D., who has business experience in the United States and China. He teaches at UND and conducts research on green energy. The project employs Martin Hellwig of Stanley, an electrical engineer with a
master's in business administration. Hellwig teaches at Fort Berthold Community College and does consulting on renewable energy. Rakesh Subramanian, a UND graduate student in mechanical engineering, also is assigned to the project. The team spent last summer developing the technology, using a light standard set up near Grand Forks as its pilot project. DeSeyn spread the word in western North Dakota about the product and received a call from Ward Heidbreder, Stanley's city coordinator. Stanley welcomed Solargy Lights to erect two prototype street lights on a frontage road on the south side of Highway 2. The lights went into operation in September. Operating off the electrical grid, they run on a controller that sets the brightness and hours of operation. Heidbreder said the city is interested in green energy options not just for itself but as something that could attract environmentally minded companies to Stanley. Stanley will decide whether to keep
the lights after the year's demonstration. So far, Heidbreder said, ``We are pretty impressed with them. ... Their functionality through the cold weather has been great. Personally, I am very pleased with the product and with the company.'' Since erecting the prototypes, Solargy Lights has increased the wattage of the wind turbine and is considering a higher grade solar panel. Having the two energy sources is an advantage. ``Even if the sun isn't shining, hopefully, the wind is blowing. There are days when you don't always have sun and you might not have wind so we need to make sure that the battery has enough charge to keep the light going,'' Johnson said. ``Right now we are very concerned just to get a system out there that's going to be very reliable.'' The LED lights in the prototypes require considerably less energy than conventional lights. The 70-watt LED is comparable to a conventional, 300-watt high-pressure sodium light. The cost comparison between the green energy lights and conventional lights depends on the application. However, the team calculates the lifetime cost of a Solargy Lights system would be less or at least comparable to conventional, depending upon the setting. As an example provided
by Solargy Lights, a customer installing a conventional street light at a remote site might pay as much as $6,000, depending on the availability of a transformer. The typical electricity bill for a traditional 250-watt, high-pressure sodium lamp would be another $222 a year, and the life of the lamp, which can be expensive to replace, is about four years. In the same setting, a Solargy Lights customer initially would pay $7,500 for a hybrid street light but would recover the price difference in four years of operation. The Solargy Lights customer also has the advantages of a system that doesn't disturb the landscape or neighborhood with power lines. The system requires no activation time and can be installed in as little as four hours, according to the company. Hellwig said the system is drawing interest in the oil patch because of the number of remote areas where an electrical power system doesn't yet exist or might not be feasible or cost-effective to install. Solargy Lights also is considering supplying solar panels for other energy uses. One possible use is transmission of monitoring data from oil well sites. Solargy Lights' goal is to have a line of products that can be customized to fit the needs of different consumers. Manufacturing is being done by outside firms, but DeSeyn doesn't rule out the potential for a manufacturing plant in northeastern North Dakota at some time in the future. The company anticipates that the controllers could be made locally. “It's a very big investment, but it's definitely doable,” DeSeyn said.

Egemin Automation warehouse management software system Daifuku Webb Smart-cart line of AGV tugs for pallets of materials, shelves and containers Adept, which is expanding its product line from solely industrial robots to products in the service sector as well, inIn the emerging world of service robotics, many markets are opening to robotics, once only handled by industrial robot manufacturers. Safely unmanned, or working alongside human workers, in a show focused on handling materials in the factory and also in the warehouse, Modex 2012, held in Atlanta (after 16 years in Cleveland), displayed the wares and solutions offered by 560 vendors, covering all aspects of picking, packing, handling and transporting material. Unlike industrial robots from the past, the newer robots displayed at Modex are able to adapt, easy to use and intuitive to operate. After talking with many exhibitors, my impression is that there were more buyers than in previous years and those buyers appeared to be holistic in their approach to revamping their material handling in the factories and storage and pick and pack setup in their warehouses. Their reasoning and the underlying economic drivers for their renewed interest appeared to be: • Lack of qualified labor and higher labor costs • Fear of the forthcoming retirements of baby-boomers • Customized ordering via e-commerce
requiring speedy and customized pick and pack • New sensors and lower-cost automation and robotic devices to augment workers and enhance productivity And... needed improvements have been put off because of the economic crisis and must now be renewed just to stay competitive. Although there were not a lot of robots or robotic components shown, their presence was implicit in all but the most utilitarian booths. For example, freeform vision-guided navigation (with collision avoidance) instead of tapes, ceiling signals and other path marking methods was openly praised and thought of as finally being of sufficient robustness, safety, speed and minimal programming, to finally become a realistic choice for material handling so many vendors were showing how they were adapting. Vendors I thought of as particularly interesting at Modex included: Intelligrated software integration system enabling every form of communication with the various automation devices, workers and robots involved in order fulfillment Kiva Systems novel robots, shelving and Mobile-Robotic Fulfillment System

BY MARY FOSTER ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AP) - Two hundred years ago, the first steamboat meandered down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, taking more than four months to reach New Orleans. The journey was marked by Indians chasing the paddle-wheeled boat, a baby's birth and an earthquake that made the Mississippi flow in the opposite direction for 45 miles (70 kilometers). Despite it all, the steamboat New Orleans successfully sailed into its namesake city, revolutionizing business for the port, and opening up the Midwest to economic growth. The 200th anniversary of the first docking is being celebrated Saturday along the banks of the Mississippi and at the Cabildo museum in the French Quarter. The museum has a related exhibit: New Orleans Bound 1812: The Steamboat that Changed America. “A ship capable of sailing up the Mississippi had never sailed down it before,” said Frank Courtenay, a maritime attorney and president of the celebration sponsor River Heritage Foundation. “It was the first that could operate against the current, and that's what made the port of New Orleans what it is today.” These days, more than 6,000 vessels move through the port each year. In 1812, there were
only flat boats coming down the Mississippi, and vessels under sail struggling up from the Gulf of Mexico. Still, when that first paddle wheeler arrived, it created surprisingly little stir, said Tony Lewis, curator of the Cabildo show. `”It was certainly a historic moment, and it capped a trip full of adventure,” Lewis said. ``But there was not a lot of excitement about it. I suspect they landed here and it was more of a curiosity than anything.'' Steam engines had already come to New Orleans, Lewis said, as had word of steamboats on the northern rivers. Built in Pittsburgh by a group of investors that included Robert Fulton, credited by many as the father of the modern steam-powered ship, the boat was 138 feet (42 meters) long and 33-feet (10 meters) wide. It carried 17 people, including an engineer, six deckhands, a cook, a waiter, two female servants, and a Newfoundland dog named Tiger. Lydia Roosevelt, wife of Nicholas Roosevelt, one of the leading investors, gave birth to a son on the way down river. The boat left Pittsburgh in October 1811 and docked in New Orleans on Jan. 10, 1812. During the first voyage, people on the banks threw rocks at the boat, fearing it carried invading British soldiers. Indians chased the boat continued on page 34

SUBMITTED BY THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Attorney General Kamala D. Harris has filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the U.S. Supreme Court urging the court to uphold the constitutionality of the landmark federal healthcare reform law's Medicaid expansion which has helped millions of Americans obtain insurance. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) increases healthcare coverage in a variety of ways, including expanding Medicaid eligibility to nearly all non-elderly adults who earn up to 133 percent of the federal poverty line. This is expected to expand health insurance coverage to 11.2 million people nationwide, including 1.9 million Californians. California was one of the first states to begin covering low-income adults, ages 19 to 64, who would not have otherwise qualified for Medi-Cal. As of October 2011, more than 220,000 Californians were covered through the program, which also provides funds for hospital care and public health initiatives. "Millions of previously uninsured Californians now have access to quality healthcare due to federal law," said Harris. "Extending Medicaid to all low-income adults is vital to ensuring that every

individual has access to affordable and reliable health insurance. Every individual deserves to be treated with dignity and to receive the care they need." Attorney General Harris, joined by 11 other attorneys general, argued in the brief filed today in the U.S. Supreme Court that the ACA does not coerce states into action but maintains the fundamental Medicaid arrangement of a federal-state cooperative program. The amicus brief argues that Congress has the authority to define the central requirements of the program according to federal objectives and to provide financial incentives for states to comply with these basic requirements. Since Medicaid's enactment over 45 years ago, Congress has frequently extended coverage to new populations in response to changing policy concerns. The ACA's Medicaid expansion is no different. "The Medicaid expansion significantly changes who is eligible for Medicaid but the ACA does not change the basic structure of the program or how the program is implemented. Medicaid has always been a cooperative partnership between the federal government and the States and the ACA does not change that. The Act continues the tradi-

tion of State flexibility and experimentation that has been the hallmark of cooperative federalism by allowing the States to apply for federal grants, seek waivers, operate demonstration projects and otherwise exercise discretion in implementing Medicaid. The ACA, thus, strikes an appropriate and constitutional balance between national requirements that will expand access to affordable healthcare and State flexibility to design programs that achieve that goal," the amicus brief states. The federal government is covering the lion's share of the costs for this expansion, paying 100 percent of the costs until 2016 and 90 percent or more thereafter. Other states joining California in this brief are Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New York, Oregon and Vermont. The brief is also joined by the Governor of Washington. Harris has vigorously defended the constitutionality of federal healthcare reform. Joined by other attorneys general, she has filed three briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court and five briefs in the federal appellate courts urging the courts to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

downstream, blaming it for a recent eclipse and later the earthquake. Within just a few decades, steamboats stimulated growth in the cities like St. Louis, Missouri; Cincinnati, Ohio and Memphis, Tennessee. For the first time, raw material could move up river to manufacturers. By the time the Civil War began in 1861, the port of New Orleans was considered a vital target for Union forces, which captured the city in 1862 and severed a primary channel of trade for the breakaway Confederacy. On Saturday, there will be a re-enactment of the steamboat's arrival in the French Quarter, a symposium on steamboats and other events to mark the anniversary. The Natchez, the only steamboat still operating in New Orleans, is in dry dock and was unable to take part. The Cotton Blossom, which is a paddle-wheeled vessel but not a steamboat, was brought over from the Tchefuncte River for the event. In their heyday, steamboats were noted for the luxurious accommodations, Courtenay said. Currently, there are no steamboats offering overnight accommodations, but the return of the American Queen, a cruising steamboat that once operated out of New Orleans, will be announced during the event, Courtenay said. It will be headquartered in Memphis and cruise between there and New Orleans, he said.

The show will be performed at 8 p.m. March 2, 3, 9 and 10, and at 2 p.m. March 11 in the University Theatre. Because it contains sexual situations and adult language, it may not be suitable for children under 17. This musical revue, written by Joe DiPietro with music by Jimmy Roberts, includes songs and vignettes about modern world romance. Act I explores the journey from dating, and waiting for love and marriage; Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of meddling in-laws, neurotic, protective parenting, the dreaded family car trip, and pick-up techniques for the geriatric set. It premiered at the off-Broadway Westside Theatre in New York City August 1, 1996 and closed in July 2008 after 5,003 performances, making it the second-longest running off-Broadway musical of all time. Since, it has been translated into 13 languages. Director Darryl V. Jones, associate professor of theatre and dance, chose this ensemble musical revue to showcase the talents of the musical theatre program students: Teresita Brown, Angelica
Edwards, Steven Ennis, Hendrix Erhahon, Ryan Gallen, Francisco Garcia, Samantha Guida, Marie Ibarra, Marena McGregor, Allison Mathieson, Nick Tarabini, and Catherine Williamson.

Catherine Williamson of San Leandro, Marie Ibarra of Newark, & Alison Mathieson of Castro Valley rehearse for CSUEB musical.
“Each student has the opportunity to shine in this musical. Everyone is a principal. They all have songs and scenes that give them a chance to take the stage and own it. And they do,” said Jones. “Furthermore, in these trying economic
reographed by lecturer Laura Ellis, to enhance the romanticism. The set (designed by theatre-dance senior Chalia LaTour), costumes (by lecturer Ulises Alcala), and lighting (by lecturer Richard Olmsted), all help to visually
establish the wacky antics with cartoon colors and imagery. Musical Director Sierra Dee, a music student and local theater company musical director/accompanist, just completed the same show in Pinole, and says that audiences loved it. “Our CSUEB production has a larger cast and that has given us the opportunity to expand the vocal and instrumental arrangements,” she said.

Police: Bored men pretend to enforce speeding law AP WIRE SERVICE ATHENS, Ga. (Police say two Georgia men tried to fool a motorist into thinking they had a radar gun, then tried to stop the driver near Athens. The motorist was an off-duty Athens-Clarke County police officer, who pulled them over instead.
Police tell the Athens Banner-Herald (http://bit.ly/y99fCj) the two men in a pickup used a rolled-up magazine to appear they were using radar on U.S. Highway 441 in Oconee County Tuesday. Police say the men “peeled out'” after the off-duty officer with their headlights flashing and were mouthing the words ``pull over.''
The officer called sheriff's officials, who stopped them. Police say one of the men said they got bored, so they decided to try and stop some cars. The men, ages 25 and 24, were let go with no charges filed. Information from: Athens Banner-Herald, http://www.onlineathens.com
