BY CYNTHIA CITRONSpecial to the Daily Press
They're having a bugfest at the SantaMonica Pier, and it has nothing to do withsand fleas. It's the dazzling Cirque du Soleilproduction “OVO,” a festival of whimsicalbugs doing what bugs, and Cirque per-formers, do best: climbing, slithering,swinging, jumping, crawling and bouncing.
A giant ovo (“egg” in Portuguese) dom-inates the stage as a panoply of magnifi-cently costumed bugs swarms around it inwonderment, chittering and clicking toeach other so expressively that you canactually understand the conversation.
Suddenly, the egg explodes, leaving a splat-tered placenta from which countless species
of other bugs emerge. And in a tremendousburst of exuberant life, they transform thestage into a bubbling one-ring circus.
A large dragonfly balances himself on apole. He is followed by six female red antsfrom China who juggle huge blown-upkiwi slices and corncobs with their feetwhile flinging themselves onto theupstretched feet of the ants beside them,who continue to juggle. It's a mind-bog-gling performance.
A long rope descends from the ceilingwith a gauzy cocoon wrapped around it.Slowly, a chrysalis begins to emerge, climb-ing up the rope as she comes to life.
She is followed by two fully grown but-terflies who perform a rope ballet, gracefuland exciting as any pas de deux ever per-formed on the ground.
Interspersed with these elegant perform-ances is a humorous side-story involving aloudly blustering maître d' in an extrava-gantly colorful costume, a red beer-belly,and waving antennae, and a budding loveaffair between a glittering “foreign” fly anda sweetly corpulent ladybug.
There are also numerous holes in thestage that allow the bugs to suddenly rise orfall or, in one spectacular sequence, standupside down and kick their legs in unison.And there's a “human slinky” in a sort of“Michelin Man” suit who manipulates andcontorts himself and his costume intoeverything from a giant to a human pretzel.(If you've ever seen the dance troupePilobolus, you'll know what I mean.)

OCEAN PARK When the story broke in 2010that a Philadelphia school district had used schoollaptops to observe students in their homes,peoplesaw a violation of rights and privacy.
James Hannon and John Sykes saw anopportunity.
The two men are the driving force behindJH Enterprise Solutions, a Santa Monica-based company that launched a productcalled Stop Being Watched, which protectsindividuals and businesses against unwantedintrusions onto their webcams.
With cameras appearing in phones, com-puters and soon on televisions, people areoften within range of a camera lens whichhackers can turn on remotely with the help ofa commercially-available spyware package.
“It’s not if this could be happening,”Hannon said. “It is happening.”
Stop Being Watched is unique in that itdoesn’t act on the computer, it acts specifi-cally on the webcam device itself.
Rather than try to find viruses or spywarehiding on the computer, the product pre-vents commands known as “calls” fromreaching the webcam. These calls can tell thewebcam to turn on, or the microphone sys-tem — which is often part of the samedevice — to begin recording.
When a call arrives, it pops up on theuser’s screen, giving them an opportunity toallow or deny the request.
There are plenty of reasons that a compa-ny or individual might want an outside userto access their webcam, including popularface-to-face calling services like Skype orGoogle Plus’ “hangout” group chat sessions.

OAKLAND, Calif. For weeks the protests hadwaned, with only a smattering of people tak-ing to Oakland’s streets for occasional week-end marches that bore little resemblance tothe headline-grabbing Occupy demonstra-tions of last fall.
Then came Saturday, which startedpeacefully enough — a midday rally at CityHall and a march. But hours later, the scenenear downtown Oakland had dramaticallydeteriorated: clashes punctuated by rock andbottle throwing by protesters and volleys oftear gas from police, and a City Hall break-inthat left glass cases smashed, graffiti spray-painted on walls and an American flagburned.
More than 400 people were arrested oncharges ranging from failure to disperse tovandalism, police spokesman Sgt. JeffThomason said. At least three officers andone protester were injured.
On Sunday, Oakland officials vowed to beready if Occupy protesters try to mountanother large-scale demonstration.Protesters, meanwhile, decried Saturday’spolice tactics as illegal and threatened to sue.
Mayor Jean Quan personally inspecteddamage caused by dozens of people whobroke into City Hall. She said she wants acourt order to keep Occupy protesters whohave been arrested several times out ofOakland, which has been hit repeatedly bydemonstrations that have cost the financial-ly troubled city about $5 million.
Quan also called on the loosely organizedmovement to “stop using Oakland as itsplayground.”
“People in the community and people inthe Occupy movement have to stop makingexcuses for this behavior,” she said.
Saturday’s protests — the most turbulentsince Oakland police forcefully dismantledan Occupy encampment in November —came just days after the announcement of anew round of actions. The group said itplanned to use a vacant building as a socialcenter and political hub and threatened totry to shut down the Port of Oakland for athird time, occupy the airport and take overCity Hall.

LOS ANGELES Students at Roosevelt HighSchool have declared a food fight to winback peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Fed up with new, healthy cafeteria cuisinethat features dishes like ancho chili chickenwith yakosoba edamame and tortellini withbutternut squash, they’re petitioning theschool district to return old favorites likePB&J and calzones to the lunch lineup.
“We, the students of Roosevelt HighSchool, would like to be served food that wecan enjoy eating, rather than the ‘healthier’food that we just throw away,” states the peti-tion being circulated at the 3,200-studentschool located in a low income neighbor-hood just east of downtown Los Angeles.
School districts across the nation, includ-ing Los Angeles Unified, are revamping lunchtrays to meet tighter federal nutrition stan-dards designed to stem obesity, which affectsabout a third of children nationally. The U.S.Department of Agriculture this weekannounced new guidelines calling for milk tobe skim or low-fat, grains to be whole, anddouble the amount of fruit and vegetables.
But as many parents can attest, gettingkids to try new foods, especially ones that aregood for them, can be a battle of wits andwills. Little kids tend to be less finicky thanbig kids, who look for that elusive factor of“coolness” in everything from fashion toFrench fries.
“Essentially, you’re competing withMcDonald’s,” said Susan Levin, director ofnutrition education for the PhysiciansCommittee for Responsible Medicine, whoworks with school districts on their menus.“But it can be done.”
The emphasis on nutrition is a majorswing from the 1990s when some schoolsfeatured brand-name fast-food burgers andpizza for lunch and sold potato chips, cook-ies and sodas in vending machines.
With national attention turning to climb-ing rates of childhood diabetes and otherweight-related ailments, many districts havenow outlawed everything from trans fats todeep-frying. Some have even dispensed withchocolate milk because of the added sugar.
But districts have found that getting kidsto change eating habits isn’t easy, andinvolves both smarter menus and a dollop of

Wrong againEditor:
Those of us who have lived in Santa Monica as longas I have are accustomed to statements from city offi-cials who don’t have their facts straight, or purposelychoose to ignore the facts, or just make up their ownset of facts. Either way, they get it wrong. So it’s notsurprising when former city official Virgil A. Countydoes it in his letter (”Story behind funeral homes,”Letters to the Editor, Jan. 24).
The several funeral businesses referred to in his andother letters went out of business long before Gates,Kingsley and Gates was sold, not because of it or in anyway related to it. As one letter writer pointed out, itremains to be seen just how much more city expendi-tures at Woodlawn Cemetery will continue to increaseeach year because the city wants to try and competewith efficient for-profit businesses that don’t have tax-payer backing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORSend comments to [email protected]
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT IS Amajor goal at City Hall. In recent years, sus-tainability and good stewardship of theEarth has driven everything from bagginggroceries to traffic management.
Last Tuesday, the City Council unani-mously adopted a draft resolution developedby staff and based on recommendations bythe Task Force on the Environment thatdeclared City Hall’s commitment to “sus-tainable rights.”
The resolution states that our rightsinclude clean, affordable and accessiblewater from sustainable water sources, a sus-tainable energy future based on renewableenergy sources and a sustainable natural cli-mate system unaltered by fossil fuel emis-sions.
Oops. Guess we’ll have to outlaw gas-powered vehicles and close the Santa MonicaAirport.
Additional rights include sustainable,comprehensive waste disposal systems thatdon’t degrade the environment; clean indoorand outdoor air; clean water and clean soilthat pose a negligible health risk to the pub-lic; and (finally) a sustainable food systemthat provides healthy, locally grown food tothe community.
To call the resolution broad is an under-statement, but there are some noticeableomissions. How about respect, reverenceand protection for living things and notallowing anything that would increase thecommunity’s carbon footprint or demandfor additional natural resources includingland, air and water?
The resolution is supposed to lead tomodifications of city policy (including zon-ing) and directs staff to update theSustainable City Plan “to protect the rightsof people and natural communities … .”
One of the interesting dichotomiesresulting from the resolution is that if it wereto really protect the natural world, it wouldmandate a freeze or severe curtailment ofalmost all new development. Virtually everyconstruction project in the city — whether itbe a large commercial/office developmentor a modest house addition — flies in theface of the resolution.
Taking one small development as anexample: a proposed 45-foot mixed-useproject at 2919-23 Wilshire Blvd. will have11,259 square feet of ground floormarket/commercial space, 26 multi-bed-room apartments and subterranean parkingfor 100 vehicles. It’ll replace a small liquorstore and a secondary retail space.
The project will create immitigable trafficproblems at the corner of Wilshire andStanford Street. Water, power, solid and liq-uid waste disposal will far surpass presentusage. It doesn’t matter how many bicycleracks, solar panels, traffic managementplans, recycled materials or low-flush toiletsare in the project, it’ll never meet the criteriademanded by this resolution. And, this is a
small project.Citywide, there are dozens and dozens of
other proposed developments such as a newDowntown cinema, a 766,000-square-footoffice project and numerous smaller apart-ment/condominium/mixed-use projects inthe works. They’ll generate air pollution andrequire much more water, electricity, naturalgas and waste disposal resources than cur-rently used at their respective locations.
Add three new Downtown hotels with atotal of 557 guestrooms plus restaurants, etc;three new office/mixed-use projects on the2800 and 2900 block of Colorado Avenuetotaling over 721,000 square feet of spaceand another mixed-use proposal with 545apartments a couple blocks away — just toname a few. Talk about increased demand onnatural resources? It can’t be avoided.
There will be parking for tens of thou-sands of vehicles in new on-site garages. Addthe air pollution that will result — in addi-tion to the pollution produced now by gaso-line-powered vehicles stuck in SantaMonica’s ever increasing traffic.
Promising that (inadequate) “green” ben-efits being touted by developers and CityHall such as bicycle amenities or riding theExpo Light Rail will produce “no net new cartrips,” alleviate driving, reduce air pollution,reduce water and energy demands and pro-tect the environment is complete and utternonsense.
Even more frustrating is reading 3-year-old blogs and commentaries by some ofSanta Monica’s staunchest and most vocalbicycle activists and sustainability advocateswho opposed a 2008 ballot measure thatwould have temporarily capped commercialdevelopment. They claimed limiting devel-opment wouldn’t help the environment letalone reduce traffic. The measure’s failureopened the door for unprecedented newconstruction and exacerbated demand forlimited natural resources.
Promises by City Hall planners of bicyclelanes, solar power, recycled water and elec-tric vehicle charging stations in new devel-opments have been sucked up by environ-mentalists and bicycling supporters like hotgreen tea on a cold day. But, it’s not nearlyenough. In fact, it’s a joke that nobody seemsto get.
After all the flossy verbiage, the proof willbe in City Hall’s actions. But, don’t expectmuch beyond, “Screw the environment,make money first.”
In the scheme of things, Santa Monica’sprojects are like a grain of sand. But, alongwith added regional development in years tocome, all the tiny grains of sand will result ina mountain of irreversible environmentaldamage.
Time will tell if City Hall is seriousor whether this resolution is just so muchhot (polluted) air.

TRACIE CONEAssociated Press
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. Therewas a time not long ago when a climb to thetop of Yosemite National Park's Half Domewas a solitary trek attempted by only themost daring adventurers.
Over the past decade, however, the routehas been inundated with up to 1,200 naturelovers a day seeking to experience the iconicmountain that is stamped on the Californiaquarter, stitched on a line of outdoor cloth-ing and painted on the side of the park'svehicles.
Now officials want to permanently limitaccess to the granite monolith, frustratingboth hikers who journey there for a transcen-dent experience and advocates who say theplan doesn't go far enough to protect a placein a federally designated wilderness area.
"At the end of the day, if the visitors andusers of wilderness aren't willing to makesacrifices to preserve the wilderness charac-ter of these areas, then we just won't havewilderness. We'll have some Disney-fied ver-sion of it," said George Nickas, executivedirector of Wilderness Watch.
"If people want solitude in Yosemite,there's another 12,000 square miles to dothat," counters hiker Pat Townsley, a BayArea resident who has been to the top ninetimes.
This past week the park released its envi-ronmental assessment of options for thefuture of the Half Dome trail, which studiesshow is the busiest by far of any in theNational Park's designated wilderness areas.The aim is to improve safety on the Domeand make the trail to get there less crowded.
Options range from doing nothing to remov-ing the cables that hikers use to pull themselvesup the 45-degree final climb, rendering it inac-cessible to all but experienced climbers.
Nickas calls them "handrails in thewilderness," and says his agency might sue tohave them removed if park officials don'tchoose that option.
"There is often an attempt by agencies tomake wilderness all things to all people, and theycan't do that and still be wilderness," he said.
The park's recommendation is somethingin between a complete ban and the free-flowingdays of the past when hikers packed together onthe cables like cars in rush hour traffic. It wouldallow 300 people a day past a check point twomiles distant beginning in 2013.
"There's some subjectivity to this deci-sion," said park spokesman Scott Gediman."But we considered how wilderness is man-
aged and personal interviews with peopleabout their experience on the trail. Findingbalance is something we have to do."
In 1874 the slick dome that rises 5,000feet above the valley floor was described as"perfectly inaccessible." But in 1919 theSierra Club installed the first cables alongthe 400-foot final ascent so that visitorswithout rock climbing experience couldhoist themselves to the summit —the size of17 football fields— to drink in stunningviews of Little Yosemite Valley, El Capitan,endless Sierra and the Valley floor.
"Once you get up there it's like 'holy cow.'It's just one of those moments in your lifewhen you go 'wow' and you question yourexistence and space and time and everythingelse," said hiker Townsley, who thinks every-one should be allowed the experience.
There is no doubt that if the decision weremade today, there would be no braided steelcables and stanchions drilled into Half Dome.Congress passed the Wilderness Act in 1964,and 20 years later designated 95 percent ofYosemite, including Half Dome and the well-worn eight-mile trail leading to it, as land thatshould not be altered by the hand of man.
Over the decades the number of visitorsto the park has steadily climbed, topping 4million last year— in part because the parkis an easy drive from Los Angeles and theBay Area. And the idea of scaling Half Domein a day as measure of personal fortitudealso began to grow.
At least five people have died on thecables since 2006, nearly all with rain as afactor, officials say. Rangers want visitors tobe able to descend the slick granite in 45minutes if they have to escape the fast-form-ing storms that make footing precarious,and limiting numbers is the only way to dothat, they say.
Last year park officials instituted a tem-porary 400-permit lottery for daily access,which is roughly from Memorial Day untilthe first snow in October.
"I think they're doing a fine job, but Ithink they've got a hairball that they're deal-ing with trying to come up with somethingthat works," said Rick Deutsch, who wrotethe book "One Best Hike: Yosemite's HalfDome." He says 400 permits is a more work-able number that accounts for no-shows.
The increase in visitors is a challenge topark officials who must balance access withthe system's mandate to protect resourcesfor future generations. The park already hasbeen struggling over whether to limit thenumber of cars allowed in the gates to pro-tect the Merced River.

Earth Talk Proudly Sponsored by
Dear EarthTalkI was horrified to read recently that our
oceans are actually becoming acidic, thatthe continued burning of fossil fuels ischanging the chemistry of our seas. What'sgoing on?
Kim RichardsonSan Diego, Calif.
IT'S A KNOWN FACT THAT OUR OCEANSare becoming more acidic as a result of theincreasingly large load of human-generatedcarbon dioxide (CO2) entering our atmos-phere. About 25 percent of all the CO2 wesend skyward out of our tailpipes and smoke-stacks ends up in the world's oceans, where ittriggers chemical reactions in the water col-umn that lead to increased acidification.Researchers estimate that the acidity of ourseas has increased 29 percent since the dawnof the Industrial Revolution. If we do notslow down the pace of greenhouse gas emis-sions, our oceans could be two to three timesas acidic in 2100 as they already are today,which could prove disastrous to marineecosystems and the world's food chain.
“When carbon dioxide is absorbed byseawater, chemical reactions occur thatreduce seawater pH, carbonate ion concen-tration and saturation states of biologicallyimportant calcium carbonate minerals,”reports the National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration (NOAA).These calcium carbonate minerals, typicallyabundant in areas where most marine lifecongregates, are the building blocks for theskeletons and shells of many marine organ-isms, from oysters to coral. “However, con-tinued ocean acidification is causing manyparts of the ocean to become undersaturatedwith these minerals, which is likely to affectthe ability of some organisms to produceand maintain their shells,” adds NOAA. Theprocess will not only wreak havoc on theshellfish we eat, but also on smaller marineorganisms that are key components on thelower end of the marine food chain.
According to the Natural ResourcesDefense Council (NRDC), a leading green
group, coral reefs around the world may facean even greater risk than shellfish becausethey require very high levels of carbonate tobuild their skeletons. “Acidity slows reef-building, which could lower the resiliency ofcorals and lead to their erosion and eventualextinction,” they write. This would be anunmitigated environmental disaster, giventhat an estimated one million marine speciesdepend on healthy coral reefs for survival.
“Such losses would reverberate through-out the marine environment and have pro-found social impacts, as well-especially onthe fishing and tourism industries,” NRDCreports. “The loss of coral reefs would alsoreduce the protection that they offer coastalcommunities against storms surges and hur-ricanes-which might become more severewith warmer air and sea surface tempera-tures due to global warming.”
Researchers are working on strategies toprotect aquaculture farms from further lossesdue to acidic water, but any large-scale effortto address ocean acidification will require theslowing down or phasing out of fossil fuels.Powering our cars, heating our homes andrunning our machines and appliances allrequire burning fossil fuels which generategreenhouse gas emissions and in turn causeacidification. Cutting back on our consump-tion of oil, gas and coal and switching torenewable energy sources — solar, wind, bio-mass and others — will be a necessary part ofthe strategy to counteract ocean acidification.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. A top state regulatorand his deputy were removed last year afterignoring pressure from Gov. Jerry Brown torelax rules for companies seeking to tapCalifornia's oil, according to a newspaperinvestigation.
The governor asked officials in Octoberto develop a permitting shortcut for firmshoping to employ underground injection, arisky method of oil extraction common inCalifornia.
Department of Conservation head DerekChernow wrote a memo stating that easingregulations on underground injection wouldviolate environmental laws, the Los AngelesTimes reported Sunday.
The process, in which a rush of steam,water and chemicals flushes oil from deplet-ed wells, had been linked to spills, eruptionsand the death of a worker in Kern County.The federal Environmental ProtectionAgency had asked the state to tighten its reg-ulations, but the oil industry complained ina letter-writing campaign to Brown that thestrict rules were hurting a key state business.
A week after the memo was written,Brown had Chernow removed, along with adeputy, Elena Miller, the Times said. Thegovernor appointed replacements whoagreed to stop subjecting every undergroundinjection project to a comprehensive reviewbefore issuing a permit.
Administration officials told the newspa-per the eased permit rules were part of thegovernor's broader effort to streamline regu-lations and spur job creation. Brown wantedto move away from a "one-size-fits-all"approach to permitting in a state with vast
geological differences, officials said."We have to balance good environmental
protection and economic growth," JohnLaird, Brown's secretary of naturalresources, told the Times. "The law allowsdiscretion on how you best protect the envi-ronment and move the applications along ...Our goal is to make things run more effi-ciently."
Catherine Reheis-Boyd, president of theWestern States Petroleum Association, a lob-bying group, told the Times that regulatorshad been requesting so much informationabout every project — "an infinite do-loop"— that they effectively halted production forsome firms.
"We've been in business since the turn ofthe century, and then all of a sudden every-thing we do out there is not right," said LesClark, executive vice president of theIndependent Oil Producers Agency, a tradegroup. "It starts snowballing, and before toolong you're not going to be in businessbecause the regulations are too costly andtoo complicated to deal with."
Administration officials said at least 77well permits that were on hold as of Nov. 15have since been approved.
Earlier this month, Brown boasted aboutthe expedited permits. At a solar energy farmnear Sacramento, he reaffirmed his commit-ment to all forms of energy development.
"It's not easy," Brown said. "There aregoing to be screw-ups. There are going to bebankruptcies. There will be indictments andthere will be deaths. But we're going to keepgoing."
Chernow and Miller, who were hiredunder former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger,declined to comment.

LOS ANGELES 0State transportation officialsare proposing to abandon a winding, moun-tainous Southern California highwaybecause it costs too much to maintain.
Caltrans is hoping the U.S. Forest Serviceor Los Angeles County will take overHighway 39, which runs 27 miles fromAsuza into the San Gabriel Mountains, butneither agency wants it, the Los AngelesTimes reported Sunday.
The state spends $1.5 million annuallymaintaining the two-lane paved highway,which is damaged regularly by landslides,flooding and forest fires, the newspaper said.Some three million motorists travel on thepopular, cliff-hanging route every year.
The Forest Service needs Highway 39 tofight remote wildfires, but the agency said itdoesn't have the resources to maintain theroadway. Los Angeles County, which relieson the highway to access three dams criticalto flood control, has no desire to take overmanagement, said Tony Bell, spokesman forSupervisor Michael Antonovich, whose dis-
trict includes the San Gabriels."Why would it?" he asked.Ronald J. Kosinski, Caltrans' deputy dis-
trict director for environmental planning,told the newspaper that the agency is operat-ing the road under a special permit dating tothe 1920s, when the highway was built.
"According to the agreement, the onlyway we can extricate ourselves from it is toabandon the highway," he said.
The Forest Service said it interprets theagreement as saying that if Caltrans aban-dons the highway, it would have to removeits improvements — meaning the roadwayitself — and return the area to the naturallandscape.
Kosinski said Caltrans attorneys wereweighing options. The agency might be ableto offer to the county or Forest Servicemoney to cover several years of mainte-nance, he said.
The proposal to abandon the highwaycomes as the state struggles to close a $9.2billion budget deficit. Caltrans could notimmediately cite another instance in whichit walked away from a state route.

Oakland Media Committee criticized thepolice’s conduct, saying that most of thearrests were made illegally because policefailed to allow protesters to disperse. Itthreatened legal action.
“Contrary to their own policy, the OPDgave no option of leaving or instruction onhow to depart. These arrests are completelyillegal, and this will probably result in anoth-er class action lawsuit against the OPD,” arelease from the group said.
Deputy Police Chief Jeff Israel toldreporters late Saturday that protesters gath-ered unlawfully and police gave them multi-ple verbal warnings to disband.
“These people gathered with the intent ofunlawfully entering into a building that doesnot belong to them and assaulting thepolice,” Israel said. “It was not a peacefulgroup.”
Earlier this month, a court-appointedmonitor submitted a report to a federaljudge that included “serious concerns” aboutthe department’s handling of the Occupyprotests. Police officials say they were in“close contact” with the federal monitorduring the protests.
The national Occupy Wall Street move-ment, which denounces corporate excessand economic inequality, began in New YorkCity in the fall but has been largely dormantlately. Oakland, New York and Los Angeleswere among the cities with the largest andmost vocal Occupy protests early on. Thedemonstrations ebbed after those cities usedforce to move out hundreds of demonstra-tors who had set up tent cities.
Caitlin Manning, an Occupy Oaklandmember, believes that Saturday’s protestcaught the world’s attention.
“The Occupy movement is back on themap,” Manning said Sunday.“We think thosewho have been involved in movements else-where should be heartened.”
In Oakland, social activism and civicunrest have long marked this rough-edgedcity of nearly 400,000 across the bay fromSan Francisco. Beset by poverty, crime and adecades-long tense relationship between thepolice and the community, its streets haveseen clashes between officers and protesters,including anti-draft protests in the 1960s
that spilled into town from neighboringBerkeley.
Before the Occupy movement spawnedviolence, mass arrests and two shutdownsof the Port of Oakland, the city was dis-rupted by a series of often-violent demon-strations over a white Bay Area RapidTransit officer’s fatal shooting of anunarmed black man named Oscar Granton New Year’s Day 2009.
Occupy protesters have invoked Grant’smemory, referring to the downtown plazanamed after Frank Owaga, the city’s firstAsian-American councilmember, by renam-ing the former space they occupied withtents as Oscar Grant Plaza. Hundreds ofOccupiers again descended on the plaza toreflect on Saturday and discuss what’s next.
Dozens of officers, who maintainedguard at City Hall overnight, were also onthe scene Sunday.
“They were never able to occupy a build-ing outside of City Hall,” Interim PoliceChief Howard Jordan said Sunday. “We sus-pect they will try to go to the conventioncenter again. They will not get in.”
Jordan said they will call for mutual aidfrom other law enforcement agencies ifneeded Sunday and defended his officers’response to the protesters on Saturday.
“No we have not changed our tactics,”Jordan said. “The demonstrators havechanged their tactics, which forces us torespond differently.”
Quan, who faces two mayoral recallattempts, has been criticized for past policetear-gassing, though she said she was notaware of the plans. On Saturday, she thoughtthe police response was measured, addingthat she has lost patience with the costly anddisruptive protests.
She also said she hopes prosecutors willseek a stay-away order against protesterswho have been arrested multiple times.
“It appears that most of them constantlycome from outside of Oakland,” Quan said.“I think a lot of the young people who cometo these demonstrations think they’re beingrevolutionary when they’re really hurtingthe people they claim that they are repre-senting.”
Saturday’s events began when a groupassembled outside City Hall and marchedthrough the streets, disrupting traffic as theythreatened to take over a vacant conventioncenter

The duo believe their product has applica-tions outside the home, earning its place incorporate board rooms and large businesses.
An enterprising hacker, or even employ-ee, could record private conversations anduse them for insider trading, Hannon said.
Unlike phone calls, the Securities andExchange Commission does not log webcamconversations, which could easily transmitsensitive information.
Stealing information from large corpora-tions is a big business.
According to an October 2011 govern-ment report, academic journals estimate thecost of corporate espionage at anywherebetween $2 billion and $400 billion per year.
“Big companies can be vulnerable,”Hannon said.
Spyware that connects with webcamscould be a canary in a coal mine, signalingthe presence of malicious viruses like key-stroke loggers that can capture passwords.
Hannon and Sykes are pushing to make
their product a known quantity both for theregular consumer and larger companies thatalready produce antivirus software packages.
Through education, they hope to provethat webcam vulnerabilities need to beincluded in the antivirus products that thegeneral consumer buys in the store for useagainst malware, spyware or other viruses.
It would be great for their company, sincethey patented the product at its most basiclevel.
“We want to be just another check box,”Hannon said.
Alternatively, a boost from the right ven-ture capital firm could give them the push tomake webcams already outfitted with theirprotective software.
Eventually, the pair hopes that people willuse the software for a host of other applica-tions, like billing for doctors who treatpatients remotely, or monitoring workplaceproductivity on web conference calls.
Hannon and Sykes run JH EnterpriseSolutions out of their home on the 800 blockof Maple Street.
Their employees send in work fromremote locations on products that rangefrom the webcam “antivirus” to a virtualgreeting card product that they hope will beout this year.

marketing.The Los Angeles Unified School District,
which serves 650,000 meals a day, saw schoollunch participation plunge by some 12 per-cent after unveiling the new dishes. Kidshave gradually come around — participa-tion is now down by only 5 percent as com-pared to last year.
Chicago Public Schools saw a 5 percentdrop when it did a menu makeover last year.
High school students have some of thetoughest palates to please.
The new menu has been a major gripe atmeetings of student representatives fromfour Los Angeles high schools, said SergioDuran, student president of Roosevelt’smath and science magnet school. His unsci-entific homeroom survey found that 20 per-cent of students ate the lunch, but less than1 percent liked it.
The district, which last year turned downBritish TV chief Jamie Oliver’s offer to makeover school lunches as part of a reality TVshow, is now tweaking the lunch lineup,slashing flops like beef jambalaya and veg-etable curry and improving others. Somedishes — vegetable tamales and manicotti— have proven hits. But chicken nuggetsand corn dogs are gone for good.
“We’re staying the course,” vowed deputyfood services director David Binkle.
Districts have taken a variety ofapproaches to get kids to eat healthier.
Some have had luck introducing changesgradually. Others have relied on cooking upmore nutritious versions of staples, such aspizza with low-fat cheese on a whole wheatcrust or all-beef hot dogs on whole wheatbuns, while others employ “stealth health”tactics such as switching white rice to brownrice with no fanfare.
It’s also about simple marketing ploys.“Even having a person behind the countersay, ‘have you tried this?’ works,” said JessicaDonze Black, director of the Pew Trust’sKids’ Healthful and Safe Foods Project.
Supermarket-style sampling is effective.In Broward County, Florida, the day afterveggie burger samples were distributed inthe cafeteria, they “sold like crazy,” Levinsaid.
Jazzing up dishes with fun names like“broccoli blast” boosted selection by 27 per-cent, while placing healthier items like veg-etables at the beginning of the lunch lineincreased pickup by 11 percent, according toCornell University’s Smarter Lunchroomsprogram. A convenient, well lit fruit bowldoubled the amount of fruit taken.
“Rearranging the lunch line is a very sim-ple, low cost, no cost thing to do,” said BrianWansink, program co-director.
He advocated giving kids one popularitem on the tray, such as a cookie or choco-late skim milk, as incentives for them to get
the school lunch because the alternatives —not eating or eating snacks or even home-made lunches — are poor options.
“Three quarters of lunches from homeare nutritionally worse,” he said.
The San Diego Unified School Districtfashions lunches to fit teen habits.
A major reason why high school studentsdon’t eat the cafeteria lunch is because wait-ing in line takes up too much time.
“Lunch is No. 1 about socializing, andNo. 2 about eating,” said Gary Petill, foodand nutrition director.
So the district takes the food to the kids,wheeling canopied carts into the courtyards.Dubbed “Sandy Coast Café” with a student-designed logo, the carts serve items such asbarbecued chicken sandwiches on whole-wheat buns and a kung pao chicken bowl,dishes that don’t need a tray.
The district posts menus on Twitter andFacebook.
Lavish salad bars have proven popular,even with elementary students, because kidslove choice, Petill said.
LAUSD, the nation’s second-largestschool system where nearly 80 percent ofstudents qualify for free or reduced-pricelunches, has a key obstacle many other dis-tricts do not. Most school kitchens areequipped to do little more than heat pre-cooked food, and don’t have facilities to evenoffer salad bars.
The district, which has won awards for itsemphasis on nutrition, contracts with sup-pliers who deliver the food, which is placedon cardboard trays and served. Unconsumedlunches are donated to local charities.
Some parents say it’s frustrating mealsaren’t more appealing.
Mother Sally Pea said she’s packing morelunches for her 10-year-old son this year.
“He just complains the food doesn’t tastegood,” she said. “They serve chicken wings,which is ridiculous, and a lot of Mexicanfood.”
Food services administrators were takenaback that so much of the new menu endedup in trash bins since dishes had been taste-tested by thousands of students and parents.
Although a recent lunch of barbecuedchicken, salad, sliced apple and low-fat milklooked fine, kids said some foods just aren’twell prepared or were tasteless. They werealso wary of items they had never heard of,like quinoa salad.
Student leader Duran described what hethought was a spinach dish as “nasty. Icouldn’t tell what it was,” while a piece ofchicken was like a rock.
Students’ confidence in the food was alsoundermined by the contractor’s deliverytruck, which bears a logo stating the food issuitable for prisons and schools, Durannoted with a grimace.
Duran is set to meet with food servicesadministrators next month to present hispetition and survey, and discuss ways to getmore foods students like.

But the two acts that bring your heart leap-ing to your throat is the one that closes the firstpart of the show and the one that is the finale. Inthe first of these, six aerialists fling themselves bytrapeze from one side of the big top to another.They are 40 feet up — equivalent to jumpingout of a fourth-story window, and they performwith grace and speed — and courage.
The finale, on the other hand, features 20artists in cricket costumes and a profusion oftrampolines from which they jump to thetop of a 24-foot vertical wall. Once on thewall, they leap over each other, climb up anddown, and bounce.
Nearly all 55 performers are somewhere
onstage most of the time, doing buggythings in the background or jumpingaround the continually changing set.
Aside from the artists themselves there isa splendid nine-piece band that plays aBrazilian-themed score. And finally, theremust be words of special praise for DeborahColker, the writer, director, and choreogra-pher of this production, and, above all, forLiz Vandal, who designed the costumes thatkept the whole ensemble buzzing.

THOMAS BEAUMONTAssociated Press
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. Newt Gingrichslammed GOP rival Mitt Romney onSunday for the steady stream of attacks helikened to “carpet-bombing,” trying to cutinto the resurgent front-runner’s lead inFlorida in the dwindling hours beforeTuesday’s pivotal presidential primary.
And despite surging ahead in polls,Romney wasn’t letting up, relentlessly cast-ing Gingrich as an influence peddler with a“record of failed leadership.”
In what has become a wildly unpre-dictable race, the momentum has swungback to Romney, staggered last weekend byGingrich’s victory in South Carolina.Romney has begun advertising in Nevadaahead of that state’s caucuses next Saturday,illustrating the challenges ahead forGingrich, who has pledged to push ahead nomatter what happens in Florida.
An NBC News/Marist poll publishedSunday showed Romney with support from42 percent of likely Florida primary voters,compared with 27 percent for Gingrich.
Romney’s campaign has dogged Gingrichat his own campaign stops, sending surro-gates to remind reporters of Gingrich’sHouse ethics probe in the 1990s and otherepisodes in his career aimed at sowing doubtabout his judgment.
Gingrich reacted defensively, accusing theformer Massachusetts governor and a politi-cal committee that supports him of lying,and the GOP’s establishment of allowing it.
“I don’t know how you debate a personwith civility if they’re prepared to say thingsthat are just plain factually false,” Gingrichsaid during appearances on Sunday talkshows. “I think the Republican establish-ment believes it’s OK to say and do virtuallyanything to stop a genuine insurgency fromwinning because they are very afraid of los-ing control of the old order.”
Gingrich objected specifically to aRomney campaign ad that includes a 1997NBC News report on the House’s decision todiscipline Gingrich, then speaker, for ethicscharges.
Romney continued to paint Gingrich aspart of the very Washington establishmenthe condemns and someone who had a rolein the nation’s economic problems.
“Your problem in Florida is that youworked for Freddie Mac at a time whenFreddie Mac was not doing the right thingfor the American people, and that you’reselling influence in Washington at a timewhen we need people who will stand up forthe truth in Washington,” Romney told anaudience in Naples.
Gingrich’s consulting firm was paid morethan $1.5 million by the federally-backedmortgage company over a period after he leftCongress in 1999.
Former Pennsylvania Sen. RickSantorum, trailing in Florida by a wide mar-gin, stayed with his 3-year-old daughter,Bella, who was hospitalized with pneumo-nia. Sunday night he told supporters, “She
without a doubt has turned the corner,” buthe cautioned she “isn’t out of the woods yet.”
Aides said Santorum would resume cam-paigning Monday in Missouri andMinnesota.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who has invested lit-tle in Florida, looked ahead to Nevada. Thelibertarian-leaning Paul is focusing more ongathering delegates in caucus states, whereit’s less expensive to campaign. But securingthe nomination only through caucus statesis a hard task.
The intense effort by Romney to slowGingrich is comparable to his strategyagainst Gingrich in the closing month beforeIowa’s leadoff caucuses Jan. 3. Gingrich ledin Iowa polls, lifted by what were hailed asstrong performances in televised debates,only to drop in the face of withering attacksby Romney, aided immensely by ads spon-sored by a “super” political action committeerun by former Romney aides.
But Romney aides say they made the mis-take of assuming Gingrich could not riseagain as he did in South Carolina. Romneyappears determined not to let that happenagain.
“His record is one of failed leadership,”Romney told more than 700 people at a rallyin Pompano Beach Sunday evening. “Wedon’t need someone who can speak well per-haps, or can say things we agree with, butdoes not have the experience of being aneffective leader.”
Gingrich has responded by criticizingRomney’s conservative credentials. Outsidean evangelical Christian church in Lutz,Gingrich said he was the more loyal conser-vative on key social issues.
“This party is not going to nominatesomebody who is a pro-abortion, pro-gun-control, pro-tax-increase liberal,” Gingrichsaid. “It isn’t going to happen.”
But Gingrich, in appearances on Sundaynews programs, returned to complainingabout Romney’s tactics. “It’s only when hecan mass money to focus on carpet-bomb-ing with negative ads that he gains any trac-tion at all,” he said.
Romney and the political committee thatsupports him had combined to spend some$6.8 million in ads criticizing Gingrich inthe Florida campaign’s final week. Gingrichand a super PAC that supports him werespending about one-third that amount.
Gingrich worked to portray himself as theinsurgent outsider, collecting the endorse-ment of tea party favorite Herman Cain,whose own campaign for president founderedamid sexual harassment allegations.
It was unclear how aggressively Gingrichwould be able to compete in states beyondFlorida. The next televised debate, a formatGingrich has used to his advantage, is notuntil Feb. 22, more than three weeks away.
Romney already has campaigned inNevada more than Gingrich, is advertisingthere, and stresses his business backgroundin a state hard-hit by the economy. His cam-paign welcomed the Sunday endorsement ofthe Las Vegas Review-Journal, Nevada’slargest newspaper.

The City of Santa Monica proposes to develop a park project that includes the rights of
way areas known as Olympic Place South and a portion of 1st Court Alley. The project
requires the vacation of Olympic Place South and a segment of the existing 1st Court
Alley and incorporation into the project of a new public right of way extension of the
remaining segment of 1st Court Alley running east and west at 1665 Ocean Avenue.

■ Traditional bridge replacementon as prominent a highway asInterstate 15 in Mesquite, Nev.,has generally required reroutingtraffic for as long as a year, butthe new "accelerated" technologyin January necessitated detoursfor less than a week. Excited engi-neers traveled in from around thecountry to watch the old bridge bedemolished and the new one(which had been built on a plat-form off to the side) be slid intoplace using hydraulic jacks andTeflon-coated metal beams --lubricated with Dawn dishwashingdetergent to glide them smoothlyinto the old frame. The NevadaDepartment of Transportationestimated that the acceleratedprocess saved commuters about$12 million in time and fuel costs.■ "(Our critics) are absolutelyright. We are professional liars,"said Everett Davis, founder of theInternet-based Reference Store,which supplies pumped-up, butfalse, resumes for job-seekershaving trouble landing work. Davisand associates are, he toldHouston's KRIV-TV in November,ex-investigators schooled indeception and therefore good atfooling human resources person-nel who follow up on the boguswork claims. Davis admitted hewould even disguise a customer'spast criminal record -- but not ifthe job is in public safety, healthcare or schools.
