Fighting for victims
and their families

San Mateo County is a pretty
good place to stay well, with less
obesity, fewer fatal vehicle crashes
and a low number of children in
poverty, according to a new nation-
al study that ranks it fth healthiest
in California.
The county also gets high marks
for high school graduation and col-
lege education rates, employment
and the number of preventable hos-
pital stays.
This is afrmation that our strat-
egy is the right one, said ST Mayer,
director of health policy and plan-
ning for San Mateo County. This is
really validation for people doing
the work.
But the county also didnt rank as
well for rates of excessive drinking
and sexually transmitted diseases,
according to the 2012 County
Health Rankings produced by the
University of Wisconsin Population
Health Institute and the Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation.
The third annual rankings com-
pared counties against each other in
all 50 states and against a series of
national benchmarks. The goal is
giving counties a way of assessing
where theyre doing well, where
they need improvement and how
they stack up against others.
While San Mateo placed fifth
overall among the states 58 coun-
ties, it ranked as high as third for
mortality, health factors and
social/economic factors. The county

At a street fair once, a stained-
glass door panel with a seascape
theme caught the eye of Bob Giorni.
It was so intricate and pretty it left a
lasting impression on the
Burlingame resident.
Giorni, 77, was so impressed with
the craftmanship he thought he
might like to try his hand at building
his own stained-glass door panel.
He found San Mateos Aanraku
Glass Studios about 10 years ago
and has been a regular xture ever
since.
Monday, he was working on a
piece depicting the Point Montara
Lighthouse that he intends to give to
a friend.
In fact, he gives most of his art
away, in exchange for other art or
even a meal, he said.

Transferring Crestmoor
Elementary School students to
either Rollingwood or Portola ele-
mentary schools would be the least
disruptive option should San Bruno
education ofcials decide to close a
school, according to an advisory
report by the committee charged
with making a recommendation to
the Board of Trustees.
The San Bruno Park Elementary
School District is considering a
school closure because of a recent
shift in sixth-grade elementary stu-
dents to middle school and declin-
ing enrollment overall.
The District Development Ad Hoc
Committee, which has met since
February, spent more than an hour
Tuesday evening wordsmithing a
six-page report which calls for the
district to merge two schools.
Closing a school and sending the
community to one campus, rather
than spreading students throughout
the district, would be the least dis-
ruptive option to the community as a
whole, according to the report
which will be presented to the Board
of Trustees April 18. The commit-
tee, which wasnt allowed to consid-
er keeping all schools open, sug-
gested the decision go into effect for
the 2013-14 school year rather than
this fall.
This committee was able to
achieve one thing, to build animosi-

Decorating and coloring eggs at Easter
dates back to England in the Middle
Ages. In 1290, Edward I, the king of
England (1239-1307), purchased 450
eggs to be decorated with gold leaf
and given as Easter
gifts.
***
The worlds
largest Easter
egg weighs
5,000 pounds.
The 25 foot wide
and 18 foot high alu-
minum and steel egg
was built in 1975 in
Vegreville, Canada. The
egg is visited by thousands
of tourists every year.
***
A chicken lays 250 to
270 eggs per year.
***
You cant tell if an egg is
hard-boiled or not by looking
at it, but you can tell by spinning it. If
the egg spins easily, it is boiled. If it
wobbles, it is raw.
***
Rabbits and hares are not the same.
Newborn rabbits, called kittens, are
helpless, blind and have no fur.
Newborn hares, called leverets, are fully
furred, they can see and they can live on
their own within one hour of birth.
***
In Poland, on the rst Monday after
Easter, it is tradition for boys to lie in
wait and surprise the girls by sprinkling
water on them. The lore says that the girl
who gets water on her will marry within
a year. The tradition is called Smingus
Dyngus.

It took 26 people and 50,000 chocolate
bars to make the worlds largest choco-
late Easter egg. In 2005, Belgian choco-
late maker Guylian created the edible
treat in Belgium. It was 27 feet tall, 21
feet wide and supported on the inside
with metal scaffolding.

When Harry J. Hoenselaar invented a
machine to slice bone-in ham, he tried to

Answer: Easter Island is a solitary
island in the southern Pacic Ocean that
belongs to Chile. Since the island was
discovered by Dutch explorers on Easter
Day in 1722, archaeologists have been
puzzled by the colossal statues on the
remote island. The island has more than
800 statues, called moai, carved from
volcanic rock. On average, the statues
are 13 feet high and weigh 14 tons. It
has since been discovered that the stat-
ues represent ancestral chiefs. All stat-
ues face inland to watch over the island.
The island has been inhabited by
Polynesians since 500 A.D.

A fund to support the athletics depart-
ment was recently established in the
memory of 2009 Mills High School
graduate Vladimir Debabov, a student
athlete who was killed in a hit-and-run
accident in January.
Debabov, who was killed in Davis,
Calif., was a student at the Haas
Undergraduate School of Business at the
University of California at Berkeley.
While at Mills, he was a cross country
runner, the mens varsity tennis team
captain and a Mills Athletic Hall of
Fame inductee.
In memory of their son, Dmitri
Debabov and Vera Rakhmanova are
establishing a fund that would be used
by the Mills High School Athletic
Department. The vision for the fund is
one that would allow for a lasting
account that will help Mills athletics for
many years to come. The fund would not
only be an excellent way to remember
Debabovs extensive athletic career, but
also a great way to commemorate his
ne name, according to a family friend.
To donate, checks should be written to
Mills High School Vladimir
Debabov Memorial Fund. Checks can
be taken or mailed directly to Mills High
School, 400 Murchison Drive, Millbrae,

MILLBRAE I
recently attended a
family funeral in
Southern California.
The burial took
place at a long
established Catholic
Cemetery which
later decided to build a Mortuary facility on
their property. I knew from past experience
that this cemetery was well maintained and
had a good reputation. The immediate
family had other loved-ones buried at the
cemetery and wished to return this time too.
With the knowledge that this cemetery had a
Mortuary on the grounds they trusted it to be
convenient and decided to have this facility
handle the funeral arrangements.
Prior to the funeral I had some phone
contact with the Mortuary staff and saw
nothing out of the ordinary. But soon after I
spoke to family members who relayed
troubling details such as higher than average
costs, questionable service and other
apprehensions that raised a red-fag. I
listened carefully taking into consideration
that funerals and arrangements may be
conducted differently in Southern California
(as compared to here on the Peninsula).
Later though I discovered that these
concerns and others were all valid as I
experienced them myself during the funeral.
Coming from the background of owning
a family run and community supportive
funeral home I was embarrassed at what I
saw as a production line process with little
compassion or time to care for the families
this Mortuary is supposed to be serving.
I wondered how the Catholic Church
could allow this Mortuary to operate in such
a manner? Well, I did some research and
discovered that the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles has mortuaries located on a
number of their cemetery properties, but
does not operate them. According to the
Funeral Consumers Alliance of Southern
California the Archdiocese has an
arrangement with Stewart Enterprises
which is a New Orleans based mortuary
corporation. Stewart Enterprises runs a
website called Catholic Mortuaries.com
giving a misleading impression to many that
the Catholic Church operates these facilities.
When patronizing one of these
mortuaries on Catholic cemetery grounds
most families assume that they will be
receiving a level of comfort as they would
from their local church or parish priest.
None of this was evident during my
experience of extremely high costs
(compared to what was received) and the
dis-interested service provided by the
mortuary staff. I dont see this as a failing
of the Catholic cemetery, but of those in
charge of running this mortuary.
The point Im trying to make is to do
your homework and shop for a Funeral
establishment you are comfortable with.
Just because a Mortuary is located on
cemetery property doesnt mean they are
your only choice or that they offer fair costs
or give better quality ofservice. You have
the right to select what ever funeral home
you wish to conduct the arrangements. Talk
to various funeral directors, and ask friends
and families who they would recommend.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Alert neighbor helps nab burglars
An alert neighbor helped San Mateo police
catch two burglars after reporting suspicious
activity on the rst block of Poinsetta Avenue,
according to police.
Two people were were seen carrying a televi-
sion and other property from the home in the
San Mateo Village neighborhood and a con-
cerned citizen called police with a description of
their vehicle, a red Ford Mustang, and license
plate number. When police arrived at the resi-
dence, the Mustang was gone but they deter-
mined there was a burglary, according to police.
San Mateo police enlisted the assistance of
the San Mateo County Sheriff's Ofce in check-
ing the registered address of the vehicle on the
3400 block of Bayshore Road in unincorporat-
ed Redwood City. Sheriff's deputies coordinated
with San Mateo detectives in locating and
detaining the suspects, identied as Bruno Silva
and James Cruz, both Redwood City residents,
according to police.
Numerous items stolen from the Poinsettia
Avenue address were recovered from the sus-
pects, according to police.
Silva and Cruz were booked into San Mateo
County Jail for burglary, possession of stolen
property and conspiracy.
Investigators are still actively working on this
case to recover all of the stolen property and to
see if there are other similar cases related to
these suspects, according to police.
Ernie Schmidt, candidate for fourth dis-
trict county supervisor, raised $2,364 to date
and spent $16,764.59, according to an updat-
ed nance campaign disclosure statement sub-
mitted April 2 to the Elections Ofce. His
donations include $200 from Redwood City
Planning Commission Chair Janet Borgens
and $250 from Redwood City Planning
Commissioner Rachel Holt. His expenses
included campaign
consulting, profes-
sional services and
campaign litera-
ture. The amended
form was required
because two
accrued expenses were mistakenly left off the
original ling.

CITY GOVERNMENT
The San Carlos Planning Commission
decided not to name a representative for the
San Carlos City Council appeal of the Carlos
Club expansion permit on April 9. The com-
mission also voted unanimously to approve
recommending the City Council adopt the nal
environmental impact review for the Wheeler
Plaza project.
The San Carlos Parks and Recreation
Commission will consider its work plan for
the 2012-13 year and discuss capital improve-
ment project proposals for electronic message
boards and renovations at Cedar, Crestview
and Burton parks.
The Parks and Recreation Commission
meets at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 4 at City
Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.
On Monday, the Burlingame City
Council approved changing the parking time
limits and rates in the area of Burlingame
Avenue in downtown.
The plan calls for a 25 cent increase to the
cost of hourly parking in the core of downtown
and smaller increases in the surrounding areas.
The original proposal, which went before the
council in February, called for extending the
hours people would need to pay to park to
include 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The most recent
approval does not extend the later hours.
Giving downtown Burlingame a pedestrian-
friendly facelift comes with a $15.9 million
price tag, a cost that could be covered through
a combination of city funds, parking rates and
money raised through assessing property own-
ers. Raising $450,000 annually, the option to
raise parking rates will allow the city to put
smart meters on Burlingame Avenue but not in
the rest of the downtown. The increased rate
provides the income needed to cover some
streetscape improvements.

The former San Jose executive
and sex offender who convinced a
Canadian teen to y to the Peninsula
where he was taken to a Burlingame
hotel faces three years in prison
after pleading no contest to felony
oral copulation with a minor.
Scott Del Marshal McKibbin, 42,
was originally charged with felony
counts of communicating with a
minor to commit a lewd act and
arranging a meeting with a minor
for a lewd act. He is also charged
with a misdemeanor count of
arranging a meeting with a minor
for an inappropriate purpose. At a
conference yesterday in advance of
his April 16 trial, McKibbin pleaded
no contest to the lewd act on a minor
under 18 and prosecutors dropped
the other charges.
He will be sentenced June 7.
McKibbin is

tor of global dis-
tribution for the

Prosecutors say between Sept. 8,
2010 and Oct. 27, 2010, McKibbin
convinced the 16-year-old he met
online to y from Vancouver to San
Francisco International Airport. On
that day, the teen headed to the
Victoria International Airport with
his passport before his parents
awoke and ew to California with a
ticket purchased by McKibbin.
Once on the Peninsula, prosecutors
say the teen went with McKibbin to
a Burlingame hotel. He was appre-
hended by Burlingame police and
FBI agents when he brought the boy
back to the airport ticket counter to
change his ight reservation. The
boys parents had contacted authori-
ties once they discovered him miss-
ing.
The following May, the boy and
his family sued McKibbin in Santa
Clara County Superior Court for
negligence, assault and battery,
emotional distress and sexual bat-
tery. San Mateo County prosecutors
also charged him criminally.
McKibbin is already a registered
sex offender, having been convicted
in 1999 of oral copulation on a
minor in Santa Cruz County.
McKibbin reportedly took the 14-
year-old from San Jose to Santa
Cruz, plied him with alcohol and
took advantage of the boy.
McKibbin is free from custody on
a $50,000 bail bond.

SACRAMENTO Californias
revised plan to build the nations rst
high-speed rail system identies an
alternative source of funding if feder-
al and private-sector contributions fail
to materialize fees generated from
Californias new cap-and-trade pro-
gram for greenhouse gas emissions.
However, there are legal and logis-
tical questions about whether those
fees, which could range from $660
million to $3 billion in the rst year
of the cap-and-trade program, could
be used to build a high-speed rail line.
The revised high-speed rail propos-
al released Monday puts the cost of a
San Francisco-to-Anaheim system at
$68.4 billion and targets com-
pletion of a 520-mile net-
work stretching from the
San Francisco Bay area to
Burbank by 2028.
The plan calls for merg-
ing the high-speed network
with existing commuter rail
lines in the Los Angeles region
and San Francisco area, which will
benet from at least $1 billion in
improvements.
The latest proposal refers repeated-
ly to the possibility of tapping money
from Californias new cap-and-trade
program. That plan, which is set to
begin in November, requires compa-
nies to buy permits from the state to
offset their annual greenhouse gas
emissions. It was part of Californias
landmark 2006 global warming law,
which aims to reduce those
emissions to 1990 levels by
2020.
Companies that are able
to meet their emission
limits the cap can
sell credits to companies
that cannot. Numerous
experts have said the money
funneled to the state as fees must be
used to help reduce greenhouse gas
emissions.
High-speed rail ofcials say they
would only seek to use the cap-and-
trade money if other funding sources
come up short. So far, California has
secured $3.5 billion in federal money
and $9 billion in construction bonds
approved by voters in 2008, which
lawmakers must approve selling.

DALLAS Tornadoes raked the
Dallas area Tuesday, crumbling a wing
of a nursing home, peeling roofs from
dozens of homes and spiraling big-rig
trailers into the air like footballs. More
than a dozen injuries were reported.
Overturned cars left streets unnaviga-
ble and attened trucks clogged highway
shoulders. Preliminary estimates were
that six to 12 twisters had touched down
in North Texas, senior National Weather
Service meteorologist Eric Martello
said. But rm numbers would only come
after survey teams checked damage
Wednesday, he said.
In suburban Dallas, Lancaster police
ofcer Paul Beck said 10 people were
injured, two of them severely. Three
people were injured in Arlington, includ-
ing two residents of a nursing home who
were taken to a hospital with minor
injuries after swirling winds clipped the
building, city assistant re chief Jim Self
said.
Of course the windows were ying
out, and my sister is paralyzed, so I had
to get someone to help me get her in a
wheelchair to get her out of the room,
said Joy Johnston, who was visiting her
79-year-old sister at the Green Oaks
Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. It
was terribly loud.
Dallas-Fort Worth International
Airport canceled hundreds of ights and
diverted others heading its way. Among
the most stunning video was an industri-
al section of Dallas, where rows of
empty tractor-trailers crumpled like soda
cans littered a parking lot.
The ofcers were watching the torna-
does form and drop, Kennedale police
Chief Tommy Williams said. It was
pretty active for a while.
The confirmed tornadoes touched
down near Royce City and Silver
Springs, said National Weather Service
meteorologist Matt Bishop.
April is the peak of the tornado season
that runs from March until June. Bishop
said Tuesdays storms suggest that
were on pace to be above normal.
Johnston said her sister was taken to
the hospital because of her delicate
health. Another resident at the nursing
home, Louella Curtis, 92, said workers
roused her out of bed and put her in the
hall.
The hallways were all jammed,
Johnston said. Everyone was trying to
help each other to make a path for oth-
ers. Id say everybody was out of their
rooms within 20 minutes.

At least two tornadoes tore through the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area in
Texas on Tuesday, ripping apart buildings, tossing tractor trailer trucks into the air
and grounding planes in the region.

OAKLAND One Gohs life was on
the skids even before he became the sus-
pect in the nations biggest mass school
shooting since Virginia Tech.
He was chased by creditors. He grieved
the death of his brother. In January, he was
expelled from Oikos University, a small
Christian school where he studied nurs-
ing. And, police say, he was angry.
Goh, who was born in South Korea, told
them he felt disrespected by teasing about
his poor English skills at the Oakland
school a college founded as a safe
place where Korean immigrants could
adjust to a new country and build new
careers.
So, he bought a gun and a few weeks
later took his revenge, opening re at the
college on Monday in a rampage that left
six students and a receptionist dead and
wounded three more, authorities said.
Its very, very sad, police Chief
Howard Jordan said. We have seven peo-
ple who didnt deserve to die and three
others wounded because someone who
couldnt deal with the pressures of life.
Police have released little background
information about Goh, other than to say
he had become a U.S. citizen.
A nursing professor who taught him
said Goh would often tell a story about
beating someone up who tried to mug him
in San Francisco. Romie John Delariman
said Goh would say that he picked ghts
at a park when he was bored.
Sometimes he would brag that he was
capable of hurting people, Delariman
told the Associated Press. He said he was
too old to go school
with all the young
people, and he said all
his classmates were
mean to him.
Delariman said
Goh suddenly
stopped attending his
classes in October,
after being a regular
participant in twice-
weekly clinical
courses.
Since his arrest at a supermarket near
the school soon after the shooting, the
details of his life that have emerged sug-
gest a man struggling to deal with person-
al and family difculties over the past ten
years.
Though records list an Oakland address
for Goh in 2004, he lived for most of the
decade in Virginia. That state was the site
of the Virginia Tech massacre that killed
32 people in 2007. That gunman was a
mentally ill student who turned the gun on
himself.
Goh, now 43, spent a few months in late
2005 in suburban Richmond and three
years in Gloucester County along the
Chesapeake Bay, where he lived in an
aging townhome complex around the cor-
ner from a storage facility.
Next-door neighbors recalled him as
being very quiet, but said he would speak
if they spoke rst. Goh kept to himself to
the point that neighbor Thomas Lumpkin,
70, never learned Gohs name.
He was always well-dressed, nicely
shaved, and his hair nicely cut, he said.
In 2009, Goh was evicted for owing
back rent. A message left with the apart-
ment rental ofce on Tuesday wasnt
immediately returned.
Online records in the two Virginia local-
ities show that, while Goh was there, he
racked up tens of thousands in liens and
judgments, including a $10,377 debt to
SunTrust Bank in 2006.
The Internal Revenue Service also
issued tax liens against him in 2006 and
2009 totaling more than $23,000, though
he apparently paid about $14,000 back in
2008, according to records.
According to Gloucester County Court
records, Capital One sued him for
$985.96 on an unpaid credit card bill, plus
court costs. The court issued a judgment
against him on Dec. 9, 2011.
His brother was an Army sergeant sta-
tioned in Germany who died in a March
2011 car crash while attending Special
Forces selection training in Virginia,
according to the military newspaper Stars
and Stripes.
The same year, Gohs mother died in
South Korea, where she had moved, her
former Oakland neighbors told the San
Francisco Chronicle.
Its unclear how Goh earned a living
before he became a nursing student at the
tiny private school of about 100 students.
But in January, Goh found himself
expelled. Oikos ofcials have not said
publicly what led to his expulsion.
According to the schools disciplinary
policy, dismissal can come if a student
threatens or harms someone or school
property. Because Oikos functions as a
community of believers, students are to
demonstrate a respectful attitude in all
encounters, it states.
Shooter upset about expulsion, teasing

KatleenPing, 24, was called the rock of
her family.
The secretary/receptionist worked the
front desk in the universitys
administration department, where the
gunman took her hostage then killed
her.
She had been working at the school for
about seven months to support her
family and her 4-year-old son Kayzzer.
She had moved from the Philippines to
Oakland with her family in 2007.

brother and two younger sisters. Her

LOS ANGELES Peter Douglas,
longtime executive director of the
California Coastal Commission who
spent a career ghting to rein in devel-
opment along one of the worlds most
alluring coastlines, has died. He was 69.
Douglas died Sunday at his sisters
home in the desert resort town of La
Quinta, about 115 miles east of Los
Angeles. He had battled lung cancer and
stepped down from the helm of the com-
mission last November because of his
declining health.
He was a remark-
able person and a
wonderful spirit,
commission spokes-
woman Sarah
Christie said
Tuesday. His name
is synonymous with
the coast.
As a legislative
aide in the 1970s,
Douglas co-authored a state ballot initia-
tive that created a coastal commission
charged with controlling development
along 1,100 miles of shoreline. He later
helped draft the 1976 Coastal Act,
designed to protect and provide public
access to the California coast.
Douglas served as executive director
since 1985. Under his guidance, the
quasi-judicial commission transformed
into one of the nations most powerful
land-use authorities, tackling issues
from coastal construction to public
beach access to offshore oil drilling.
Last August, Douglas announced he
was taking sick leave and planned to
retire.
Im at peace with it, he told the
Associated Press in an interview. Its
been a meaningful, purposeful legacy.
Douglas tenure was punctuated with
showdowns with developers and proper-
ty owners.

MILWAUKEE Mitt Romney
tightened his grip on the Republican
presidential nomination Tuesday
night, sweeping primaries in
Wisconsin, Maryland and
Washington, D.C., with time left over
to swap charges with President
Barack Obama.
Four more years? Romney asked
sarcastically of the president as sup-
porters cheered in Milwaukee.
He said Obama was a little out of
touch after spending four years sur-
rounded by the trappings of power
and had presided over near-record
job losses as well as increases in
poverty, home foreclosures, govern-
ment debt and gasoline prices. In
Washington, Obama said things
could be worse
and he pre-
dicted they
would be if
Romney and the
Republicans got
their way.
The victories
enabled Romney
to pad his
al r eady- wi de
delegate lead
over Republican rival Rick
Santorum, who ashed deance in
the face of pressure to abandon his
own candidacy in the name of party
unity.
Wisconsin was the marquee con-
test of the night, the only place of the
three on the ballot where Santorum
mounted a signicant effort.
Romneys victory there marked his
fourth in little
more than a
month in a belt
of industrial
states that also
i n c l u d e d
Michigan, Ohio,
and Illinois.
Returns from
15 percent of the
states precincts
showed Romney
with 43 percent of the vote to 38 per-
cent for Santorum, 11 percent for
Ron Paul and 6 percent for Newt
Gingrich.
Returns from 25 percent of
Marylands precincts showed
Romney with 48 percent of the vote
to 30 percent for Santorum, 11 per-
cent for Gingrich and 9 percent for
Ron Paul.

WASHINGTON In combative
campaign form, President Barack
Obama accused Republican leaders
on Tuesday of becoming so radical
and dangerously rigid that even the
late Ronald Reagan, one of their
most cherished heroes, could not win
a GOP primary if he were running
today.
Obama, in a stinging speech to an
audience of news executives, had
unsparing words for Republicans on
Capitol Hill as well as the man he is
most likely to
face off against in
November, for-
m e r
Massachuset t s
Gov. Mitt
Romney. The
president depict-
ed the election as
a choice between
a Democratic
candidate who
wants to use government to help peo-
ple succeed and Republicans who
would abandon a basic compact with
society and let most people struggle
at the expense of the rich.
He framed his address around a
new House Republican budget plan,
saying it represents a bleak, back-
ward radical vision.
It is thinly veiled social
Darwinism, Obama said to the
annual meeting of the Associated
Press. It is antithetical to our entire
history as a land of opportunity and
upward mobility for everybody
whos willing to work for it ... It is a
prescription for decline.
Republicans shot back that the
president had offered a deeply parti-
san speech devoid of accountability.
Campaigning outside Milwaukee
just before Obama spoke, Romney
said that the president of course will
look for someone else to blame. The
Republican Party chairman, Reince
Priebus, said Obama had abandoned
his hope-and-change campaign slo-
gan of four years ago. Said Priebus:
All along, hes been a cold, calcu-
lating, big-spending politician.
Obamas speech removed any
doubt that the general election was
under way for the president, despite
his professed reluctance to weigh in
before Republicans settle on a nomi-
nee.

DMBs native habitat
Editor,
I just took a trip to Scottsdale, Ariz.
This is the hometown of the Cargill
salt ponds developer DMB. I learned
a lot seeing what can be described as
DMBs native habitat. I was aston-
ished by the level of sprawl on what
was formerly a stunning desert land-
scape. The area is all about cars and
the traffic was unbelievable. Public
transportation? Not even on the radar.
Oh, and the water tasted terrible!
What did I learn from my
Scottsdale adventure? That DMB
comes from a land of sprawl, cars and
undrinkable water. Gosh, that does not
bode well for Redwood City, does it?
Nancy Arbuckle
Redwood City
DMBs environmental review
Editor,
I am informed that Cargill employ-
ees have gotten carte blanche to write
all but two of the 17 sections of the
proposed projects environmental
review.
Talk about a corporate fox guarding
the eco-henhouse. What self-serving
imbecility does the councils smug
non-participants expect from this
Phoenix-based carpetbagging proposal
to destroy our wetlands once peace-
fully harvested by Leslie Salt? Since
DMB bears the brunt of costs from its
algorithm-derivative communities I
have seen in Scottsdale, their home-
groomed consultants will see that they
get their moneys worth.
Since the drafting of this report was
rubber-stamped last Oct. 20 at a meet-
ing I attended, at which my statement
was stolen by a Cargill employee at
the reception table and not heard until
after midnight, what sort of buck-
bushy fox tail does Redwood Citys
august body propose to chase to heed-
less approval of this rip-off?
I demand an impartial committee to
evaluate DMBs proposal and report
independently to state and county
governments without the force-fed
misinformation Redwood Citys dull
and supercilious panel is sure to
amass.

Cargill will affect
Redwood City schools
Editor,
Here is a word problem: If the pro-
posed Cargill Saltworks Development
adds 20,000 new housing units and
just 20 percent of those new units
have children, then 4,000 kids will be
added into the already overflowing
schools in Redwood City.
The development proposal leaves
vacant land for new schools but noth-
ing else. Neither the Redwood City
School District or Sequoia Union
High School District has an extra
penny, and a new bond means the rest

T
heres nothing like two report-
ed cases of embezzlement to
spark attention and questions
about oversight and practices par-
ticularly when it comes from taxpay-
er-funded agencies. In recent months,
there have been allegations of embez-
zlement of hundreds of thousands of
dollars from two public agencies
the San Mateo County Mosquito and
Vector Control District and the Mid-
Peninsula Water District. The first
agency has its case going through the
criminal process and will have its
financial operations reviewed by the
countys Local Agency Formation
Commission, or LAFCo, as part of an
overall policy review. Officials from
the second agency, as first reported in
the Daily Journal March 30, forward-
ed a case of embezzlement to the
District Attorneys Office last week.
The path of that case has yet to be
determined but it will assuredly be
watched closely.
Both could be seen as isolated inci-
dents, but they also call to attention
the potential for such alleged crimes
in the countys 22 independent special
districts and 35 county-governed spe-
cial districts. LAFCo completed a
municipal service review and sphere
of influence review of the water dis-
trict in March 2011, yet no discrepan-
cies were found. That is not necessari-
ly the fault of LAFCo, which has a
certain mandate to review district
policies and make suggestions. But
that doesnt mean there should not be
changes to its mandate or review of
how the county and its special dis-
tricts operate such as a more concrete
regular oversight of finances rather
than just policy.
The San Mateo County Civil Grand
Jury was asked to review the policies
of the Mosquito and Vector Control
District by the city of San Carlos but
reported its current docket is full. The
financial practices and oversight of
special districts across the county is a
prime candidate for review for the
civil grand jury as soon as it is possi-
ble.
There are many suggestions that
could arise from such a review. There
could be a move away from appointed
board members to elected ones in cer-
tain instances; there could be calls for
consolidation of such districts with
elected oversight from within or from
larger agencies. There could be move-
ment toward independent audits con-
ducted regularly from a current county
official, or a newly named county
auditor. There could be refined poli-
cies regarding background checks and
audits of employees responsible for
the finances in each special district.
While the civil grand jury is one
option for such review, the county
Board of Supervisors should agendize
the topic and see what oversight or
control it has, and if there is anything
that can be done from that level, or if
a vote of the people is necessary to
make changes.
Its not necessarily fair to call into
question the practices of each special
district in the county, and the ones
with allegations of embezzlement may
merely be victims. There is also the
balance between the independence of
such districts and oversight from oth-
ers. However, two instances of alleged
criminal activity is simply too many.
These are taxpayer-supported districts
whose employees and board members
are charged with certain responsibili-
ties and trust. When those are
breached, it is necessary for review of
the policies that allowed for such
alleged crimes to take place.
Special districts require further scrutiny Nothing but the truth!
L
iberty means responsibility. Thats why men
dread it. George Bernard Shaw. With so
many marching on Wall Street and occupying
cities, protesting the dys-
function of so much of our
government, and with the
serious angst of so many of
the American people, it
seems that James Pattersons
and Peter Kims 1991 book,
The Day America Told the
Truth is even more apropos
today. It can help us under-
stand the great many
Americans who are ailing
away, feeling alone and inse-
cure in a sea of disillusion-
ment.
Many of us are anxiously
waiting for someone to
throw us a life ring labeled leadership while rapidly being
carried farther out to sea by a tidal wave of opportunistic
politicians and greedy corporations making a mockery of
democracy and the free enterprise system. And then there
are those who are mindlessly swimming along with the tide,
focused only on their own goals and oblivious to the sharks
in the water. After reading the book, one is convinced of
what has raised our suspicions for a long time that a
great many Americans are disastrously inept at rowing their
own boats, often sailing aimlessly, completely without a
rudder (Pass the Dramamine!).
Americans believe, across the board, say the authors,
that our current political, religious and business leaders
have failed us. How sad that so many of us feel so alone in
such a large crowd, feeling so ineffective, so unable to make
a difference. Most disturbing, those feelings lead to despair
and hopelessness that can allow the aforementioned political
and corporate leaders to increasingly have their way with
us.
The authors also found that, in general (as today),
Americans were focused on themselves and not the total
picture. Many wanted to change not only their appearance,
but also their station in life. For instance, when asked, If
you could change one thing about your life, what would it
be? Sixty-ve percent said wealth, 45 percent education, 32
percent current job, 19 percent sex life, and on and on.
Better person came down at the bottom. When asked to
describe their ideal self, the answers were similarly focused
externally. Wealthier, thinner, better body, younger, pretti-
er/handsomer topped the list. Those deeper attributes that
underlie true success like honesty, responsibility, compas-
sion and decency hardly registered.
On top of all of this, many of the people interviewed for
the book complained about the United States becoming a
greedier, meaner, colder, more selsh and more uncaring
place. They consider a letdown in moral values the num-
ber one problem facing our country. Most of the people the
authors interviewed believed that America had no moral
leadership that our political and moral leaders have let us
down dreadfully and that they have failed to provide the
kind of leadership that this country must have to remain
strong. Americans were giving up on the possibility of ever
nding leaders in whom they could believe the kind who
would take the initiative to give them a sense of purpose, a
grasp or reality, a feeling that they, as average Americans,
counted (I wonder what they are thinking now!).
Such a tragedy that those interviewed for the book (and a
great many today) didnt seem to realize what they, as indi-
viduals, have had to do with all of this. They didnt seem to
see (or didnt want to see) that our behavior and attitudes
have a lot to do with the dysfunction of our society and that
many of our institutions reect our lackadaisical concern
with ethics, integrity, etc.
This seems to be related to about the most disturbing nd-
ing in the book that many Americans were very unrealis-
tic. They believed that their own futures would be ne and
dandy. They have become so alienated from the whole that
they think they will be individually immune from the fate
they believe will befall the nation as a whole, wrote the
authors. Maybe it was necessary for them to think that way
to save their sanity, but what does that portend for the
future? And the future is now!
The picture painted by Patterson and Kim isnt pretty. It
was depressing to read their ndings, but more of us need to
face reality and become aware of what is ailing us as indi-
viduals and as a society. There is nothing that could bring
us out of our doldrums faster than an honest, open-minded
appraisal of such problems and then taking steps to solve
them. The protesters have been trying but there seems to be
a lack of leadership to help us row our leaky boats.
We could, if we cared enough and had courage enough,
create a climate of life through which human beings could
so change themselves as to be capable of solving the prob-
lems that beset and terrify us. Eda LeShan.

U.S. stocks and Treasury prices
dropped Tuesday after Federal Reserve
policymakers said they were worried
about a slowdown in hiring and
appeared to resist buying more bonds to
help the economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average was
down as much as 133 points after the
Fed released minutes of the March
meeting of its Open Market Committee,
which sets interest rates and monetary
policy. It had been down 45 points
before the minutes were released.
The Dow bounced back by the close
to a decline of 64.94 points, or 0.5 per-
cent, at 13,199.55. The Standard &
Poors 500 index fell 5.66 points to
1,413.38.
The Nasdaq composite index dropped
6.13 to 3,113.57. It was the fth loss for
the Nasdaq in six trading sessions, but
the index remains up almost 20 percent
for the year, compared with 12 percent
for the S&P.
Utility stocks barely rose. The other
nine industry groups that make up the
S&P 500 fell, led by energy stocks,
which declined about 1 percent as a
group.
The Fed minutes showed that policy-
makers fear hiring could slow if eco-
nomic growth doesnt improve. The
country added an average of 245,000
jobs per month from December through
February, the strongest three months
since the Great Recession.
Only two of 10 voting committee
members on the Fed committee said
they would support another round of
bond purchases, and only if the econo-
my weakened signicantly.
The minutes did not address the logis-
tics of more bond-buying, troubling
traders of stocks and bonds who antici-
pate more action from the Fed, said
John Canally, an economist for LPL
Financial.
The release of the minutes reduced
demand for government bonds, driving
prices down and yields up. The yield on
the benchmark 10-year Treasury note
rose to 2.31 percent from 2.16 percent
earlier Tuesday. That was its highest
since March 20.
The Fed has embarked on two previ-
ous rounds of bond-buying, most
recently in August 2010, to drive down
long-term interest rates. Low bond
yields generally encourage prot-hun-
gry investors to buy stocks.

Facebook focus guides
Google CEOs first year on job
SAN FRANCISCO Google co-founder Larry Page
has a Facebook xation.
When he replaced his mentor Eric Schmidt as Googles
CEO last April, Page insisted that the company had to be
more aggressive about countering the threat posed by
Facebooks ever-growing popularity.
Page responded with a social networking crusade that is
still reshaping Google Inc. as he marks his one-year
anniversary as chief executive on Wednesday.
The Facebook obsession has already led to Googles cre-
ation of its own social network, Google Plus, and inspired
changes in Googles privacy practices and Internet search
results. Those changes have raised questions about
whether the Internets most powerful company has forsak-
en its Dont Be Evil motto in its zeal to protect its online
advertising empire.
Facebook awoke Google to its shortcomings in the
social aspect of the Internet. It wasnt something that could
be ignored, said Steven Levy, whose book In The Plex
provided an inside look at Googles origins and evolution
over 14 years.
State governments
target tax-cheating software
AUGUSTA, Maine Cash-strapped state governments
are searching every crevice for money, and some have
found a new target: computer programs that enable busi-
nesses to keep two sets of books simply by plugging a ash
drive into their cash registers.
The so-called tax-zapper software lets businesses, espe-
cially those that deal mostly in cash, underreport taxable
sales and pocket money that should go to the government.
Five states Florida, Georgia, Maine, Utah and West
Virginia have enacted laws cracking down on the pro-
grams. About a dozen others are considering similar pro-
posals.
The software sells for around $500. Its always been ille-
gal to cheat on taxes, but the new laws are the rst to
specically target tax zappers.

DETROIT Appealing small cars,
low interest rates, truck deals and unsea-
sonably warm weather helped the auto
industry achieve its best monthly per-
formance in almost four years in March.
General Motors Co. said Tuesday that
its U.S. sales rose 12 percent compared
with last March on solid demand for cars
and small crossovers that achieve 30
miles per gallon or better on the high-
way. Chrysler Groups sales jumped 34
percent as buyers went for Fiat small
cars and Chrysler sedans.
Toyota Motor Corp. said sales were up
15 percent, with sales of the Prius hybrid
climbing 54 percent for the month. Sales
at Ford Motor Co. rose 5 percent as
demand for the Focus small car rose
sharply.
Americans who couldnt bear a new
payment and kept driving their old car
during the economic downturn are back
on the market. With gas above $4 in
some parts of the U.S., buyers are lean-
ing toward new fuel-efcient compacts
like the Chevrolet Cruze and sub-com-
pacts such as the Honda Fit to save
money. Also, incentives on trucks are
good enough to lure buyers who want
something bigger. Ford said sales of the
F-Series pickup, the nations best-selling
vehicle, rose 9 percent.
The consulting rm LMC Automotive
has predicted U.S. sales of new cars and
trucks reached 1.37 million last month,
up 6 percent from March of 2011 and the
highest number since May of 2008.
Industry analysts say sales could run at
an annual rate of 14.1 million to 14.5
million vehicles, continuing the strong
performance in January and February.
GM said compact and subcompact car
sales were up a combined 62 percent
thanks to the new Chevrolet Sonic sub-
compact. GM sold 8,251 Sonics in
March. Sales of the Chevrolet Cruze
small car were up 20 percent.
Ford said it had its best March since
2007. Focus sales were up 65 percent
compared to last March. But that came
at a price. Sales of the Fiesta subcom-
pact fell 34 percent as buyers ocked to
the newer and bigger Focus.
For Chrysler, it was the best month for
the company in four years. Chrysler says
Fiat sales hit 3,712, compared to just 500
last March when the Fiat 500 subcom-
pact was rst on the market. The Fiat
500 is growing in popularity as new
dealerships open and fuel prices rise.
Sales of Chryslers 200 and 300
sedans each doubled over last March.
Both cars have recently been revamped
and have better fuel economy than pre-
vious models, which is attracting new
buyers. Jeep brand sales rose 36 per-
cent on the strength of the Jeep Grand
Cherokee.
Auto sales surge in March

NEW YORK Facebook is stepping
up its patent dispute with Yahoo by ling
its own lawsuit against the struggling
Internet icon.
Facebooks lawsuit Tuesday came
just weeks after Yahoo Inc. claimed
that Facebook violated 10 patents cov-
ering advertising, privacy controls and
social networking. Facebook denied
Yahoos allegations and accused Yahoo
of violating 10 of its patents covering
photo tagging, advertising, online rec-
ommendations and more.
The spat is escalating as Facebook
prepares for an initial public offering of
stock in the coming weeks. If all goes
expected, Facebook could fetch as much
as $10 billion, gaining a value of $100
billion. Yahoo, which has struggled amid
competition from Google and Facebook,
has a market value of about $18.3 bil-
lion.
Theres no immediate threat to either
companys services from the lawsuits.
These disputes can take months or years
to resolve and often lead to settlements
in which companies agree to license
patents to each other.
Facebook recently acquired 750
patents from IBM Corp. covering tech-
nologies that deal with software and net-
working. At the end of 2011, Facebook
had just 56 U.S. patents, which was a
relatively small number compared with
other big tech companies. Yahoo owns
more than 1,000 patents.
It was not immediately clear how
many, if any, of Facebooks claims
involve patents from IBM. Facebook
employees, including CEO Mark
Zuckerberg, are listed as inventors of
two of the 10 patents. A couple of the
others date back several years before
Facebooks founding.
Facebook Inc., which is based in
Menlo Park led the lawsuit in U.S.
District Court in San Francisco. It is
seeking a jury trial and unspecied dam-
ages, and for Yahoos suit to be dis-
missed.
Facebook responds to Yahoo with own patent suit
RALEIGH, N.C. Apple has led
plans with the N.C. Utilities
Commission to build what is being tout-
ed as the nations largest private fuel cell
energy project, a silent power plant that
will generate electricity from hydrogen.
The News & Observer of Raleigh
reports that Apple led plans last week
to build the 4.8-megawatt project in
Maiden, about 40 miles northwest of
Charlotte.
Thats where Apple has built a data
center to support its iCloud online data
storage system and its Siri voice-recog-
nition software.
The fuel cell project will be developed
this year, and located on the same data
complex that will host a planned 20-
megawatt solar farm.
A report by the U.S. Energy
Information Administration says fuel
cells are among the worlds most expen-
sive forms of electricity, costing $6.7
million per megawatt.
Apple files plan to build silent power plant in N.C.

The stat sheet for Menlo Schools Michaela
Michael is atypical so much so that at rst glance
you go, well, that has to be a mistake.
Dont adjust your newspapers, ladies and gentle-
man. Rest assured that the Menlo girls lacrosse
player doesnt fall into your typical category of play-
er. Perhaps Knights head coach Jen Lee put it best
when she said that Michael is a force of lacrosse
nature. And Hurricane Michaela was in full effect
last week in six games four of which came at the
Western States tournament.
In those contests, Michael found the back of the
cage 34 times. She also assisted on seven other
goals.
Michael is blessed with some height and strength.
She suffered an injury over the summer has come
back stronger than ever, Lee said.
Thats a scary thought considering all the junior
has accomplished in two and half years as a Knight:
she was the 2011 West Bay Athletic League MVP as
a sophomore and made the First Team All-WBAL as
a freshman; in 2011, she was the Menlo offensive
MVP after scoring 100-plus goals (that was the sec-
ond time she did that); and the list goes on and on.
Michael keeps cruising along in her offensive
efforts following a couple of games and a tourna-
ment where she was her dominant self.
For her efforts, Michael is the San Mateo Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.
She wins a lot of the draws for us, Lee said.
And in lacrosse, the draw is very important part of
the game. Thats the whole battle right there. Shes
extremely t, very physically strong and has really
developed a lot of nesse in her movements. So, she
can beat you on a one-on-one but shes also come to
have some really nice passing with the rest of the
kids in the mideld on the attack. Shes a great
anchor.
Michael is the type of lacrosse player you want at
the forefront of the attack the ultimate funnel if
you will.
Michael has 76 goals this season to lead the
Time for Taylor to
shine at Stanford
STANFORD Stepfan Taylors
teammates call him the countrys
quietest 1,000-yard rusher.
Overshadowed and underappreciat-
ed might t just as well, too.
Of course, that tends to happen
when someone has been playing in
the same backeld as the last three
Heisman Trophy runners-up.
With Andrew Luck and Toby
Gerhart gone, Taylors time in the
Stanford spotlight starts this spring.
The senior, aiming for his third
straight year with at least 1,000
yards rushing, could be one of the
keys to holding together a recon-
structed Cardinal offense that in
case everybody forgot while No. 12
was tossing passes prides itself
on being a physical, run-rst team.
If anybody could get 1,000 yards
quietly, its Stepfan, said quarter-
back Brett Nottingham, who knows
a thing or two about being over-
looked after playing behind Luck
last season. I joke about that with
guys. Hes so unassuming, just like
Andrew was. But people forget how
good Stepfan is.
Hes a guy who never makes a
mistake. You cant nd any aws in
his game. Hes not always the
flashiest, but he does everything
above average. Hes the most con-
sistent guy.
Talk to anybody else at Stanford,
and theyll say Taylor has been just
that consistent for almost four
years now.
Not that anybody has really
noticed.
While Luck became the face of
college football last season, all
Taylor did was run for 1,363 yards

At this rate, the College of San

For the third straight time, CSM
made short business of their oppo-

College a 9-0 loss in ve innings of
play.
CSMs last full game came March
22 against Cabrillo. Since then,
theyve won 11-4 in ve innings and
8-0 in ve. Tuesdays win was the
15th of its kind for the Bulldogs this
season.
Former Capuchino Mustang
Michele Pilster picked up her 21st
win of the season after pitching four
innings of no-hit softball. She struck
out three.
Amelia Shales came in for the
fth inning and allowed one hit.
Offensively, the Bulldogs were
steady throughout. They put up
crooked numbers in every winning,
capping it off a three-run fourth
inning. They were responsible for
11 hits.
Jacey McDaid had a three RBI
effort for CSM that included a
homerun. Mikayla Conlin had a pair
of hits to go with her three RBI.
Vika Kafoa also had a multi-hit
game. Jamie Navarro tripled for
CSM.
The win was the 30th of the sea-
son for the Bulldogs. They are now
10-1 in Coast Conference play.
Next, theyll face De Anza College
of Cupertino. The Dons handed
CSM their lone conference loss
back on Feb. 22, 3-2.

Camacho charged
with child-abuse
ORLANDO, Fla. Former champion boxer Hector
Macho Camacho is facing a felony count of child abuse and
turned himself in to Florida authorities this week on a warrant
led late last year.
The 49-year-old Camacho posted a $5,000 bond at the
Orange County Jail in Orlando on Monday and was released.
According to the arrest afdavit, Camacho surrendered on a
warrant that records show was led by the state attorneys
ofce in November.
State attorneys spokeswoman Danielle Tavernier said the
ofce rst received the case in May. She said a report that
includes a narrative of what Camacho allegedly did was not
immediately available.
Camachos attorney Linda George released a statement
Tuesday which said a family dispute took place at the home of
Camachos children and that a neighbor called police because
it entailed yelling outside of the home.
George said police arrived, did not arrest Camacho and no
injuries or medical attention was required by anyone involved.
Sometime after leaving the home, the complaint was led
alleging the actions against Mr. Camachos teenage son, the
statement said. Mr. Camacho only recently learned of the
complaint and accordingly voluntarily reported to ofcials so
that this matter can be resolved. He maintains a good rela-
tionship with his sons and all would like to put this matter
behind.
Camacho won super lightweight, lightweight and junior
welterweight world titles in the 1980s.
Birdie-fest ahead at Masters
AUGUSTA, Ga. Get ready for a
birdie-fest at Augusta National.
Three-time Masters winner Phil
Mickelson said the
course hes loved and
respected for
decades is not yet its
fearsome, soul-
destroying self
and that has him
worried.
It seems that
some of the planning
I have made may go
by the wayside,
Mickelson said Tuesday. As soft as the
golf course is, you can re at a lot of the
pins.
That means a host of fearless, 20-
somethings will whack away in the fair-
ways with little concern for impediments
like Raes Creek or the tricky, closely
mown slopes protecting the greens.
Unless something changes,
Mickelson predicted, its going to be a
birdie-fest.
Mickelson is making his 20th appear-
ance at the Masters, many of those spent
learning each bump and bunker through
pain-staking trial and error. It took sever-
al changes in his game and attitude
before he nally broke through with his
2004 victory here.
Mickelson said one of the most drastic
changes was how he approached the piv-
otal, par-5 15th hole, which has made as
many Masters champions as it has ruined
through the years.
Count Mickelson one of those waylaid
by the daunting hole with the pond in
front. Mickelson had played it for years
as a must birdie hole, fearing anything
else would drop him behind the eld.
That led to what Mickelson called some
disastrous scores and the realization that
something had to change.
I think when you get hit in the head
enough times, you look back and say,
You know, maybe I should step back,
Mickelson said.
These days, par is perfectly acceptable
for Mickelson on the 15th.
Thats kind of what happened to me
after just getting hammered by that hole
so many times in the 90s that when I
nally won in 2004, I just accepted the
fact that its hard hole, he said. If I
make four, great, but ve is not bad.
Mickelsons Masters win in 2004
changed his attitude here forever. Gone
were the questions about when hed win
a major, replaced by an unfettered
excitement whenever the tournament
nears.
There was this burden of having
never won a major. There was this bur-
den of wanting to win the Masters so bad
and being a part of the history of the
tournament, he explained. When I won
in 2004, it was no longer pressure. It was
excitement.
There gures to be plenty of excite-
ment heading into Thursdays opening
round.
World No. 1 Luke Donald, second-
ranked Rory McIlroy, Mickelson and
four-time champion Tiger Woods have
won PGA Tour events in the run up to
the Masters.
The soft conditions, Mickelson said,
opens the door for players like McIlroy
to make a barrage of birdies and run
away and hide with this event the way he
did in winning the 2011 U.S. Open.
He plays without fear, which is a
great way to play, Mickelson said of
McIlroy. When you get soft conditions
like at the U.S. Open (last year), hes
going to light it up.
McIlroy is seeking redemption from
his back-nine meltdown at Augusta that
cost him the tournament.

Brazil says no delays
on World Cup stadiums
SAO PAULO The Brazilian gov-
ernment said construction at 2014 World
Cup stadiums is on schedule in all 12
host cities.
With 800 days to go until the World
Cup, the government said Tuesday that
ve stadiums have more than 50 percent
of work completed, while another ve
have more than 30 percent of construc-
tion ready. Two are just 20 percent com-
pleted the Beira-Rio stadium in the
southern city of Porto Alegre and the
Arena das Dunas in northeastern Natal.
The report contrasts with numbers
released last month by a government
watchdog group which said only stadi-
ums in Salvador and Fortaleza had more
than 50 percent of work completed.
According to the government, the
Castelao stadium in the northeastern city
of Fortaleza is the one closest to being
nished, with 60 percent of work com-
pleted.
Renovation at the Maracana, which
will host the nal, is 39 percent com-
plete. The Itaquera Arena in Sao Paulo,
which will host the opener, is 30 percent
done.
Most stadiums are expected to be
ready by the end of this year or the next.
The government report is based on
information from the local representa-
tives in the host cities.
Maracana and the Castelao will also
be used in next years Confederations
Cup, along with the Mineirao stadium in
the central city of Belo Horizonte.

Quarterback Alex Smith models new look uniforms for the San Francisco 49ers. Nike now
dresses all 32 teams in the National Football League.
NFL unveils new uniforms
NEW YORK For fans worried that Nike
was going to give their favorite NFL teams
uniform an extreme makeover, full-blown
Oregon style, no need to fret.
Ben Roethelisberger still looked very much
like a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Nobody would have mistaken Jermichael
Finley for anything but a Green Bay Packer.
And the Browns jersey wore by Joe Haden
was still brown.
Going for a slightly sleeker but very famil-
iar look, the NFL unveiled its new uniforms
Tuesday. Nike, the leagues latest apparel
maker, stayed away from the wildly experi-
mental designs it uses with the University of
Oregon, get-ups that sometimes make it hard
to identify the Ducks.
You look good, you play good, said
Finley, Green Bays star tight end. Hopefully
that kicks into effect this season.
Nike put on a gridiron-themed fashion show
at a Brooklyn lm studio, with a player from
each of the 32 franchises modeling his teams
new threads.
No, Big Ben and Brian Urlacher from the
Bears didnt walk the runway.
Instead, after a handful of Nike big wigs
worked their way through half-hour presenta-
tion that could have been dubbed The
Making of the Uniforms, the players walked
out onto an articial turf-covered mini-eld,
suited up from shoes to shoulder pads and
lined up in four rows. After the house lights
went up, their helmets went on.
There were no surprises.
Commissioner Roger Goodell said the goal
of the redesign was to combine tradition with
innovation.
Some teams will lean more toward the tra-
ditions, Goodell said. But you can see here
you can put innovation into the uniform with-
out changing the look, necessarily, about it.
In college football, ashy uniforms, with
non-traditional colors and patterns are all the
rage these days. Oregon, the alma mater of
Nike founder Phil Knight, has made the cut-
ting-edge some would say over-the-edge
look its calling card. Nike outts dozens of
major college football teams and while few
have gone all-in the way Oregon does, it
seems dozens of schools are at least dabbling
in funky gear.
Those gloves that create a schools logo
when a player hold his hands together, palms
out, and which have popped up on campuses
from Alabama to Notre Dame, will now be on
display at every NFL game. And, of course,
available in stores along with all kinds of
new team gear from jackets to hoodies to T-
shirts.
But only the Seattle Seahawks, who took
the unveiling of the uniform as an opportunity
to start a rebranding campaign for the fran-
chise, made signicant alterations to their uni-
forms, adding some neon green trim down the
sides of the pants and numbers
I like the fact that there are teams that are
pretty much staying more in line with where
theyve been and theres other teams that are
starting to push a little bit more, said Nike
CEO and President Mark Parker. We see that
happen at the college level perhaps even more
aggressively, but I think youll see the NFL
evolving and Nike being an exciting partner in
actually helping make that happen.
The Seattle uniforms, modeled by defensive
back Kam Chancellor, were denitely a win-
ner among the other players.
Seattle has the hottest uniform right now,
Saints running back Pierre Thomas said. So
Im a little jealous. But I still love my all
black. I think it looks nice.
Aside from a sharp look, Todd Van Horne,
Nikes creative director for football and base-
ball, said the players wanted the uniforms to
be as light as possible.
and 10 touchdowns. He has averaged more
than 5 yards per carry over his career the
kind of mark the usually makes NFL scouts
salivate and also had 25 catches for 182
yards and two TDs a season ago; he only fum-
bled once.
If not for splitting time with three other run-
ning backs in Stanfords complex system, his
coaches believe he couldve topped that elu-
sive 2,000-yard milestone. Or at the very least
come close.
The Cardinal racked up 2,738 yards rushing
last season 99 yards shy of the school
record set behind Gerhart in 2009 and shat-
tered the programs single-game mark with
446 yards rushing in a win against
Washington. With another grand on the
ground next season, Taylor could join Darrin
Nelson as the only Stanford running back with
three years of at least 1,000 yards rushing.
Maybe then, that might turn a head or two.
He knows right now in his heart hes as
good as any running back in the nation, and he
wants to prove that, Stanford coach David
Shaw said. Hes the guy who does everything
right. Hes the guy who picks up every pass
protection. He doesnt do it with a lot of fan-
fare. He doesnt want any pats on the back. He
does his job and, really, he sets the tone for the
offense.
Next fall maybe more than ever.
Luck, the presumed No. 1 overall pick for
the Indianapolis Colts in this months NFL
draft, set up so much of Stanfords offense
predicated on zone blocking and a powerful
running game the last three years.
Nottingham and Josh Nunes are competing to
replace him, and no matter whos at quarter-
back, theyll be banking on a familiar face in
the backeld to bail them out.
Taylor takes that responsibility seriously.
He has assumed more of a leadership role
this spring with so many of those familiar
faces on The Farm departed. While thats not
usually being vocal I know I havent been
a rah-rah type guy, Taylor admits domi-
nating on the practice eld and in the weight
room keeps teammates pushing for more.
Even in unconventional places, too.
In his spare time, Taylor has trained in
Bikram Yoga usually set in a room at about
105 degrees since his senior year in high
school in Manseld, Texas. He has increased
those workouts this spring, part of his offsea-
son goal to become more exible and agile
while staying at his usual 210-215 pound
playing weight.

Kentucky returns home
LEXINGTON, Ky. Another champi-
onship banner has been unfurled at Rupp
Arena.
Kentuckys basketball team returned home
to its adoring fans Tuesday, after defeating
Kansas 67-59 Monday night to win the
schools eighth NCAA championship.
Blue-clad fans erupted into deafening
cheers as the team pulled into the packed
arena aboard a sleek blue bus emblazoned
with national champions.
It was a joyous curtain call for a team led by
a talented group of freshmen and sophomores.
The NBA likely beckons next for several of
them.
Each team member was introduced to loud
ovations as players and coaches took the stage
in the middle of the arena. Senior Darius
Miller, a basketball net draped around his
neck, toted the NCAA championship trophy
to a table. Coach John Calipari pumped his st
and raised his arms in triumph as he basked in
the cheers.
You know why we won the national title?
Folks, we have the best players and we have
the best team, he said as the crowd erupted.
Calipari reminded the crowd that his goal
three seasons ago when he took the Kentucky
coaching job was to restore the Wildcats to the
gold standard in college basketball and to
raise more championship banners.
Then on cue, the 2012 title banner slowly
unfurled from the rafters at Rupp as the
Kentucky pep band played and fans cheered.
Calipari thanked the fans and said there
were about 5,000 that welcomed the team at
the airport and more lined the streets between
the airport and Rupp Arena.
You people never cease to amaze me, he
told the crowd.
Calipari praised the chemistry of a team
stocked with future NBA players.
Just talent alone, folks, does not get it
done, he said. It doesnt. These young men
sacriced for each other. They respected one
another.
He noted that Miller, a starter in the past,
accepted his role as a key backup player in his
senior season.
Freshman standout Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
asked to give up his starting role to Miller in
the Southeastern Conference tournament
championship game to help jump-start
Millers play, Calipari said. Shot-blocking
phenom Anthony Davis credited his team-
mates for helping him rack up player of the
year awards, the coach said.
THE ASSSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS Logan Coutures power-play
goal put his team in front late in the second
period after T.J. Galiardi got the tying goal
earlier in the period, and the San Jose Sharks
beat the Dallas Stars 5-2 Tuesday night in a
matchup of teams ghting for one of the nal
Western Conference playoff spots.
Antti Niemi stopped 29 shots, and Daniel
Winnik, Joe Thornton and Ryane Clowe also
scored for the Sharks. San Jose improved to
92 points to remain in the conferences top
eight, three points better than ninth-place
Dallas.
Niemi denied Dallas Jamie Benn on a
breakaway with about 5:20 left to preserve his
teams lead, and Thorntons 17th goal of the
season with 4:50 remaining gave San Jose a
two-goal pad.
Brenden Morrow and Alex Goligoski had
the goals for Dallas, which got 21 saves from
Kari Lehtonen.
Dallas is in danger of missing the playoffs
for the fourth straight season. The Stars were
returning from a 1-3-0 road trip that knocked
them out of rst place in the Pacic Division.
With the score tied 2-2, Coutures deection
of Martin Havlats setup at 17:24 of the sec-
ond period put the Sharks ahead. Coutures
31st goal of the season came only 27 seconds
after Dallas Michael Ryder went to the penal-
ty box for tripping.
Clowe added an empty-netter with 1:04 left
and San Jose improved to 8-4-1 in its last 13
games.
The Stars had assumed the top spot in the
Pacic with a 10-0-1 run, but theyve gone 3-
7-0 since then to tumble out of the confer-
ences top eight.
Dallas has two games left: at Nashville on
Thursday and St. Louis at home on Saturday.
San Jose also has two remaining: at Los
Angeles on Thursday, and home against the
Kings on Saturday.
Dallas built an early 8-1 shots advantage,
but Winnik banked in a rebound off a sprawl-
ing Lehtonen at 12:09 of the rst period to put
the Sharks in front. Andrew Desjardins and
Brent Burns assisted on Winniks eighth goal
of the season.

Grizzlies top the Dubs
MEMPHIS, Tenn. O.J. Mayo scored 19
points, Mike Conley added 18 and the
Memphis Grizzlies overcame a lackluster per-
formance with a fourth-quarter rally to defeat
the Golden State Warriors 98-94 on Tuesday
night.
Golden State led by 12 early in the fourth
quarter, but Memphis went on a 13-0 run to
erase the advantage and ght to their third
straight win.
Dante Cunningham scored 13 points, hitting
all six of his shots for Memphis.
Marc Gasol added 12, Rudy Gay nished
with 11 points, despite going 3 of 13 from the
eld, and Gilbert Arenas scored 10 points,
going 4 for 4 from the eld.
David Lee scored 22
points to lead the Warriors,
who lost their sixth
straight. Nate Robinson
scored 18 and Brandon
Rush added 13 on 4 of 7
from the eld.
The Grizzlies won the
game by outscoring
Golden State 28-15 in the
nal period, shooting 70.5
percent.
The fourth-quarter rally was keyed by
Cunningham, who had nine in the period, and
Mayo who scored six.
Memphis was coming off a 94-88 win at
Oklahoma City on Monday a victory that
seemed to provide a new momentum.
But for the rst three quarters, the Warriors
appeared to be the ones in line for the play-
offs, instead of hoping for good draft position.
The game started pretty ugly. The Warriors
missed nine of their rst 10 shots, and both
teams ended the rst quarter hitting 9 of 24
from the eld.
The offense picked up in the second as Lee
was effective for the Warriors, while Memphis
was relying on balanced scoring.
Golden State, which started three rookies
Klay Thompson, Jeremy Tyler and Charles
Jenkins went to their veterans to take a sec-
ond-quarter lead.
Lees basket with 2.4 seconds left in the half
gave him 14 points and tied the game at 50 at
the break.
Conley, who hit 5 of 7 shots including 2 of
3 outside the arc, had 12 for Memphis.
The Warriors extended the lead to nine in
the middle stages of the third as the Grizzlies
continued to look lethargic. Mayo hit back-to-
back 3-pointers to pull Memphis close, but
Robinson answered with consecutive long-
range jumpers to provide the Warriors a
buffer.
That helped Golden State carry a 79-70 lead
into the nal quarter, and a 3-pointer by Rush
on the Warriors initial possession of the
fourth gave them the rst double-digit lead of
the game.
The lead reached 86-74 on another
Robinson basket with just over 10 minutes to
play before the Grizzlies began their come-
back.
NOTES: Memphis was back at full strength
after starting guard Conley and reserve for-
ward Cunningham sat out Mondays win at
Oklahoma City with ankle problems. ... The
Grizzlies were playing the middle game of
their only back-to-back-to-back series of the
season.

Braden receives injection
in troublesome shoulder
OAKLAND Athletics left-han-
der Dallas Braden received an injec-
tion of platelet-rich plasma in his
strained, surgically repaired throw-
ing shoulder and will not do any
baseball activity for three weeks.
Manager Bob Melvin said
Tuesday that Braden received the
shot during Mondays examination
in New York with Dr. David
Altchek, and will be limited to
strengthening exercises and rehab
until he is cleared to resume his
throwing program. Altchek operated
on Bradens shoulder last May 17
Braden had initially hoped to
return to the As revamped rotation
by early May before suffering his
latest setback last week.
The pitcher stayed in Arizona
when Oakland opened the regular
season with two games in Tokyo
against Seattle. He threw a bullpen
session then felt some discomfort
the next day while playing catch that
caused him to stop his session,
Melvin said.
From what we hear and what the
doctor told him, he needed a shot

Knights. But it isnt just a one-girl show. No. 4 has taken it
upon herself to get the rest of her team involved. Michael also
tops the Menlo team with 14 assists.
I think our team, our culture, is one where the girls really
look out for each other, Lee said. Shes such a catalyst to get
the ball to our attacking end by far and I think that, as the ball
is moving around, she just has that vision and that ability to get
to the cage. They all work really well together, but I do think
Michaela is the catalyst. They all can do it, but she seems to be
the cornerstone.
Michael was rock solid last week. In a game against
Castilleja, she tallied nine goals and notched an assist.
She followed that performance with a two-goal effort and an
assist against Sacred Heart Cathedral in a game in which Lee
was able to play the entire roster (resulting in a 19-0 win for
Menlo).
Then the Knights traveled to play in the Western States tour-
nament and mingled with some of the best teams in the area.
And despite the defensive focus placed mostly on No. 4,
Michael still thrived. She scored 17 goals and added four
assists.
She stayed hot in Tuesdays game against St. Francis-
Sacramento, adding six goals to bring her years tally to a
whopping 76.
Its not about the total points on the board, Lee said in
regards to where Michael can take her play from here, but, its
how you play each game. For every shot that is released, is it
going to be a high percentage shot? Its about, not wasting
opportunities, its can she get more ground balls and cause
more turnovers. What other statistical areas can she put more
focus in? I think she thinks about that too. I think shes a girl
that can go beyond the next level.
With two WBAL titles in hand and a third well on its way, the
next level for Michael is a superb senior season followed by
enrollment at the University of Southern California where she
verbally committed to over the summer.
Shes so focused on her goals, Lee said.

less interesting against Monterey Peninsula, taking them down
14-2.
The Bulldogs had a 9-0 lead after six innings before Monterey
nally put a run the board. CSM pitching held them to just four
hits.
Clay Bauer pitched seven dominating innings for CSM to
pick up the win. He struck out six and allowed only two hits. DJ
Sharabi and Daniel Madigan did the rest of the work, each
pitching an inning apiece.
Offensively, Mark Hurley, Jeff Vonsomer, Jarrett Costa and
MIke Kathan had multi-hit games for the Bulldogs.
Joseph Armstrong went deep for CSM.
CSM put some serious distance between themselves and
Monterey in the sixth. They were handed two free baserunners
on pluncks and after a wild pitch, Kathan cashed in with a sin-
gle to center. Hurley duplicated the act on a base knock to left
eld for another RBI. Then, two runners on, Armstrong got
every piece of a pitch and sent it to Homerville for a three-run
blast.
The Bulldogs got three more in the eighth and two more in the
ninth. CSM is now 12-1 in conference play and 20-7 overeall.

Baylor, 40-0, wins NCAA womens title
DENVER Brittney Griner came up
big for Baylor, scoring 26 points and
grabbing 13 rebounds to help the Lady
Bears nish off an undefeated season
with an 80-61 win over Notre Dame in
the national championship game
Tuesday night.
Baylor became the first team in
NCAA history to win 40 games. Even
more important to the Lady Bears, the
team cut down the nets for the rst time
since 2005.
For the Fighting Irish (35-4), a second
straight trip to the title game ended in
heartbreak. They lost 76-70 to Texas
A&M last season.
Odyssey Sims chipped in 19 for the
Bears, while Destiny Williams added
12.
The Irish cut a sizable decit to three
points early in the second half, only to
have Devereaux Peters called for an ille-
gal screen, which was her fourth foul.
With Peters on the bench, the Bears built
their lead back up by dumping the ball
into the 6-foot-8 Griner, who showed off
her wide array of shots as she arched
hooks and jumpers over the smaller Irish
players.
From there, the Bears went on a 33-11
run to seal the title.
Griner scored 17 of her points in the
second half, even with two, sometimes
three, defenders hounding her at all
times.
Notre Dame was led in scoring by
Skylar Diggins, who had 20 points.
Natalie Novosel, one of the top Irish
scorers, had a rough night. She nished
0 of 11 with ve points.
The teams met in the preseason WNIT
nal on Nov. 17, with the Lady Bears
winning in Waco, Texas, 94-81 behind
Griners gem of a game when the junior
center scored 32 points, grabbed 14
rebounds and blocked ve shots.
This time, the stakes were much high-
er and Griner responded again.
All season long, both Baylor and
Notre Dame have focused on the slogan
Unnished Business. Griner & Co.
even have wristbands with the phrase on
it. Coach Kim Mulkey said the team
used the same motto the year the Lady
Bears won their only championship.
The senior-laden Irish came a game
short, again, of being the rst Notre
Dame team to win the womens crown
since 2001.
Baylor is the seventh womens team to
go through a season unbeaten, but the
rst in the NCAA-era to go 40-0.
Before the game, Griner entertained
the crowd with a series of dunks, includ-
ing a one-handed throw down, a double-
pump slam and another in which she
hung on rim.

LOCAL/WORLD
By Desmond Butler
WASHINGTON The managing director
of the International Monetary Fund made an
impassioned plea Tuesday for American
leadership in the global economy as she
called for the international community to
give her organization more firepower to
bolster tottering economies.
Christine Lagarde told the annual meeting
of the Associated Press that last weeks move
by eurozone countries to boost their own res-
cue fund has strengthened her case to ask
other large economies to expand the IMFs
financial war chest.
We certainly need more resources, she
said, without specifying how much more was
needed. Lagarde said the IMF would address
that question at its spring meeting in two
weeks.
The IMF has about $400 billion in
resources that it can use to provide loans to
countries in trouble. Lagarde has talked
about expanding those resources to close to
$1 trillion. The 17 countries that use the euro
already have promised to provide $200 bil-
lion of that amount.
Though the United States is the IMFs
largest shareholder, the Treasury Department
has not asked Congress for new IMF funding
and will face opposition from Republicans if
it does.
Lagarde argues that the IMFs ability to
rescue economies in Europe and elsewhere
has a direct bearing on the U.S. economy.
She said Europes faltering would quickly
spread, and the U.S. economic recovery,
slowly gaining strength, might well be in
jeopardy.
America has a large stake in how Europe
and the rest of the world fares, Lagarde said.
Lagarde said the global economy is making
some advances in digging itself out of the
worst downturn in decades, but that the recov-
ery remains particularly fragile in Europe.
She suggested cutting government spending
too quickly in developed countries like the
United States and larger European nations
could make things worse, not better.
Policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic
need breathing space to finish the job, she
said. As the worlds largest economy, the
United States could not shirk its outsized
role in the global economy, Lagarde said.
The world needs U.S. economic leader-
ship, she said. Now is not the time to retire,
now is not the time to withdraw, now is not
the time to phase out. Now is the time to
engage.
IMF chief wants more firepower to fight crises
game of glass and I woke up seven years later
and I was still here, Giorni said.
The 10,500 square-foot studio in downtown
San Mateo is owned by Jeffrey Castaline and
another partner, who moved into a larger ware-
house space on South B Street after outgrowing
a studio on 25th Avenue and El Camino Real.
Glass was just a hobby for Castaline until he
moved to San Mateo and turned pro back in
1997, he said.
Aanraku teaches classes on an individual
basis and many of its students stick around and
become teachers themselves such as Steve
Gonzales, 68, who is retired and formerly
worked in wood.
Gonzales is now the operations manager at
Aanraku and teaches classes, too.
I kept asking Jeffrey questions and he kept
saying take the class, Gonzales said.
Castaline doesnt take it easy on new stu-
dents, he requires a rst piece to include at least
300 pieces of glass.
There is a lot of work that goes into making a
single stained-glass piece, from making a pat-
tern to cutting and grinding glass, to soldering
and glazing. A large piece could take months to
complete.
Its not a hobby, anymore, Gonzales said.
Giorni likes the feeling he gets when he
goes to Aanraku.
It is a great atmosphere. This is a vital hobby
and a good time, Giorni said.
Bob Smith, Aanrakus general manager, calls
himself the air-trafc controller of the studio,
which has four large kilns and every kind of
supply and tool a glass artist would ever need.
The studio provides jewelers and craftspeople
from all over the world the tools necessary to
create glass art through its online store.
Foster City resident Clare Crom was in the
studio Monday working on the beginning piece
of a seascape for a window panel that will go
into her husbands ofce in downtown San
Francisco.
She has been working in glass for about nine
years and knows a lot of the work goes into
making a piece before glass is ever handled.
She was mapping out the pattern for the win-
dows template, numbering each piece of glass
she will need to complete the piece.
As Crom worked, some of the studios four
adopted cats kept their eyes on the proceedings.
Those are the real owners, Castaline said
about the cats.
The studio is open Monday through Saturday,
10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
New students get a three-hour class then have
two months to complete their projects.
If you can tie your own shoes, you can do
stained glass, Castaline said.
The studio is located at 41 S. B St. For more

ty between each of the elementary school
communities. While the process helped to gal-
vanize the individual school communities, it
did nothing to strengthen the overall school
district, according to the report, a statement
that generated applause from a few in the
audience when read by committee Chair
Megan Connery.
Members of the public criticized the
process thus far, expressing a lack of public
participation. In addition, a couple people
noted a lack of respect for those who spoke or
had questions at committee meetings. Others
asked if alternatives to closing a school could
be considered. Keeping all schools open, how-
ever, was not an option for the committee, said
Connery.
While the board will rst hear the report in
two weeks, Trustee Skip Henderson estimated
the board would not make a decision until
May. The committee has recommended mak-
ing a decision by the Friday, May 18 meeting
if the closure is to take effect in the 2012-13
school year.
Previously, the committee decided upon the
most important criteria to consider. Each
school was then ranked compared to that
information. Schools were ranked at the
March 27 meeting, from most likely to close
to least likely to close, as Crestmoor,
Rollingwood, Portola, John Muir, El Crystal,
Allen/Hesselgren and Belle Air.
Crestmoor representative John Marinos
asked the committee to consider revising the
rankings. Previously, the committee was bro-
ken into two groups to score the school
options. Marinos felt Crestmoor was unfairly
ranked. His motion was not supported.
Both Rollingwood and Portola have ade-
quate classroom and playground space to
accommodate Crestmoor students, according
to the report. In addition, the committee sug-
gested that a move could be smoother for stu-
dents if the teachers were also moved, offer-
ing familiar faces on a new campus.
Waiting a year could allow the two schools
time to have common eld trips, discuss
merging PTA efforts and teacher planning
time. However, the committee noted the gap
year could cause a drop in morale for teachers.
And parents may avoid enrolling children in a
school that is slated to close. The committee
suggested the district hire a mentor to facili-
tate the consolidation regardless of when the
school closure was to go into effect.
A number of factors led to San Bruno con-
sidering closing a school. Starting this fall,
San Bruno students will attend elementary
school through fifth grade and start at
Parkside Intermediate School in sixth grade.
Changing which school serves sixth grade
will shift about 280 students from the elemen-
tary schools. In addition, the district has seen
an overall drop in enrollment in the last ve
years.
Closing a school would not, however, save
the district much money, the committee
reported, noting the number of students and
staff required wouldnt change drastically.
Should the district close a school, it could
lease the space or consider selling the land.
Revenue from leasing property could go into
the districts general fund, which would sup-
port the day-to-day costs. Selling the land, on
the other hand, would result in money that can
only be used for facility upgrades unless the
district gets special permission from the state
to do otherwise.
Consultant Tom Shannon of Enshallah, Inc.
previously estimated for the committee that
the district could get $1 million per acre for
selling land or $1 per square foot a month if
leasing property. Crestmoor sits on 10 acres
and offers 24,000 square feet of property. If
sold, the committee wrote it would more than
likely be used for single-home houses to
match the surrounding area.
As a district, San Bruno has previously
tackled the possibility of closing a school in
recent history.
Between 2000 and 2005, the district experi-
enced a loss of 350 students resulting in con-
versations about closing a school in the 2008-
09 school year. Those talks were dropped in
late 2007 when enrollment unexpectedly went
up by 99 students.
Declining enrollment forced the closure of
two schools in the 1970s. Carl Sandburg
Elementary was closed in 1978 and was sold
for $30.5 million in 2006. The district leases
20 acres for a driving range on what was once
Engvall Middle School at Interstate 280 and
Sneath Lane to VB Golf Inc.

T
his week, its ower
power. Because thats
exactly what capers are
and do they are the ower buds
of a wild bush that lend serious a-
vor power to your cooking.
Our story starts several thousand
years ago, when capers moved
from simple would-be blossoms to
culinary colossus.
Thats when the people of the
Mediterranean realized that if they
picked the buds of the caper bush
before they opened, they could
pickle them and use them to add a
deliciously pungent avor to their
cooking.
And the pickling is key. Fresh
caper buds are insanely bitter.
But once those buds have been
dried in the sun and packed in
brine, vinegar or dry salt (brining is
the most common method today),
the bitterness dissipates and the
tender, green, pellet-shaped buds
develop a deep salty, tangy avor.
Most capers available in the U.S.
are the sort found in Italy and
southern France, where they are
used to avor sauces and seafood.
Capers also grow in Spain, but the
variety there tends to be larger and
is consumed similar to olives.
Chances are good that youve had
capers before. They are a standard
ingredient in many Mediterranean
seafood dishes (especially those
involving tuna), and are a must-
have for authentic puttanesca.
When shopping for capers, head
to the pickle or Italian section of
the grocer, where you will nd
them in small jars. Most will be
packed in brine, the best of which
are the nonpareils from France.
Capers that are dry-packed in salt
are prized for their intense avor,
but usually are
found only in
specialty
shops. They
also must be
rinsed very
well before
using. Brine-
or vinegar-
packed capers
also can be
rinsed, but it
isnt essential.
If you hap-
pen to stumble upon something
called caper berries, youve hit on a
related but not identical ingredient.
Caper berries are the fruit of the
same bush. They are larger than
capers, but can be pickled in the
same way.
You also may sometimes nd
anchovies sold in tins wrapped
around capers. These are especially
delicious savory avor bombs. Use
them to doctor up homemade or
purchased pasta sauce.
Capers generally are used as a
avor accent, a sort of nishing
savory-salty bite for sauces,
seafood, lamb and salads. Just
remember they are intense, so a
little goes a long way. Once opened
the bottles can be refrigerated for
months.

column over on Food Network:

ULTIMATELY EASY
PUTTANESCA SAUCE
This is my speedy version of the
classic Italian pasta sauce. Serve it
over any pasta you like, and be
sure to top it with gobs of
Parmesan cheese. Some put-
tanescas are spicy; this one is mild.
Feel free to crank the heat with
more red pepper akes.
Start to nish: 25 minutes
Servings: 6
1/2 pound bacon, cut into small
pieces
2 anchovy llets
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 large red bell pepper, cored and
nely chopped
1 large green bell pepper, cored
and nely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon red pepper akes
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
and chopped
1 tablespoon chopped capers
28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and ground black pepper
In a large saucepan over medi-
um-high, combine the bacon,
anchovies, garlic, onion, both bell
peppers, oregano, basil, thyme and
red pepper akes. Saute until the
bacon is cooked and the onion is
tender, about 10 minutes.
Add the olives, capers and toma-
toes, then bring to a simmer. Stir in
the balsamic vinegar and
Parmesan, then season with salt
and pepper.

NAPA Do you like eggs with wine? How
about wine IN eggs?
Sounds a bit dicey, but its been happening
more lately as winemakers embrace concrete
egg-shaped fermenters as a way to add unique
avors to their wines.
The eggs, which can be 6 feet tall or higher,
have a cuteness factor not usually to be found
in farming machinery. In fact, the Domaine
Carneros winery in the Napa Valley was
inspired to get in the seasonal spirit and had
their 2,000-pound egg decorated for Easter
complete with a frieze of white bunnies.
Despite appearances, theres a serious side
to this fresh approach. And it all starts with
permeability.
Stainless steel tanks, which allow no oxy-
gen in, create bright, sharp avors. Wooden
barrels, which are quite porous, create a
rounder taste with avors from the oak. The
concrete egg fermenters, which fall some-
where between stainless steel and wooden
barrels in permeability, offer a third option,
says Domaine Carneros winemaker TJ Evans.
What we get is a kind of an enhanced min-
erality and a richer texture, but without the
oak, he says. Its a nice little tool that lls in
the niche.
Concrete fermenting tanks arent new.
Huge, square ones are to be found in wineries
around the world. But they fell out of favor in
California with the push to modernize during
the 70s and the move to stainless steel tanks.
But concrete has quietly been making a
comeback.
The Domaine Carneros fermenter, which
has walls about 3 inches thick and holds about
three barrels worth of wine, or 180 gallons,
comes from a French manufacturer, Nomblot,
which has been making egg-shaped fer-
menters for more than a decade.
About four years ago, a U.S. producer,
Sonoma Cast Stone Corp., based in Petaluma,
also cracked the market.
The company has been making modular
concrete fermenting tanks for some time and
company president Steve Rosenblatt, who
grows grapes himself, decided to try the dif-
ferent shape after his own winemaker asked
him about it. In addition to the oxygen factor,
the tapered egg shape condenses the gases
given off during fermentation, keeping the
wine rolling, which is believed to be bene-
cial, he says.
Rosenblatt, who cant help but think of the
fermenters in a dairy context, says he sold a
dozen his rst year and three dozen last year.
Getting the egg shape right is a technical
challenge, but theres no denying it amps up
the decorative factor. Sonoma Cast Stone,
which makes some large eggs in black or dark
brown, which give off a fun, sci- aura, was
recently commissioned to make two concrete
eggs, one red, one yellow, for wineries that
want to show off their unique tanks.
Another Napa Valley winery using the egg-
shaped fermenters is CADE. When the winery
bought the eggs, also from Nomblot, they
werent sure what to expect, says winemaker
Tony Biaggi. But all fears were put to rest
when we tasted the rst wines fermented in
them.
The egg-fermenters are used to add nuance
to CADE sauvignon blanc. Though the egg-
fermented wine amounts to only 6 percent of
the nal blend, it adds interesting layers, says
Biaggi. The wines fermented in concrete
eggs seem to be alive and full of energy.
Domaine Carneros is best known as a pro-
ducer of well-regarded sparkling wine, but the
egg fermenter is being used to make a fairly
unique still wine, pinot clair, which is a white
wine made from the red-skinned grape pinot
noir. Color comes from skin contact with the
juice, so this wine is kept clear by gently
pressing the juice out of the grapes and putting
the juice straight into the egg.
Giving an Easter spin to the egg was some-
thing that Eileen Crane, founding winemaker
and president of Domaine Carneros, thought
would be a lighthearted touch.

Nuts often get a bad rap because of
their high fat content. But the fat in most
nuts is the healthy unsaturated variety.
It doesnt mean you should eat nuts
with abandon, but it does mean you
should feel no guilt about working them
into a healthy diet.
The trick is moderation. And because
nuts are so rich, moderation can be easy.
All that rich avor means it doesnt take
much to feel satised. Whether you pre-
fer to incorporate them in a dish, sprin-
kle them on a salad, or snack them by the
handful, they are a great choice for
healthy eating.
Nuts generally have a deeper avor
when toasted. To toast raw nuts, place
them on a dry baking sheet and roast for
10 to 12 minutes at 350 F. Keep a close
eye on them because they go from toast-
ed to burnt very quickly.
The freezer is the best place to store
nuts (same goes for seeds). All their
healthy oils put them at risk for going
rancid. Place them in a zip-close plastic
bag and squeeze out the air before freez-
ing. Always give your nuts a sniff and a
taste before putting them in your dish. If
they have any sourness or bitterness,
dont use them.
Weve chosen to showcase walnuts in
this recipe for a composed salad made
from roasted tomatoes (the roasting
brings out their sweetness) and creamy,
herbed ricotta cheese. For a great dinner,
serve this alongside a piece of crusty
multigrain bread with some greens and a
grilled chicken breast.
ROASTED TOMATOES WITH
HERBED RICOTTA AND WALNUTS
Start to nish: 2 1/2 hours (30 minutes
active)
Servings: 4
4 large tomatoes, halved and cored
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts
Balsamic vinegar (optional)
Heat the oven to 325 F. Place a wire
rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Spray
the rack with cooking spray.
Arrange the tomatoes on the rack, cut
sides up. Sprinkle the tomatoes with the
salt, sugar and white pepper. Roast for 1
hour. Flip the tomatoes over and roast
for another hour, or until the tomatoes
are soft, wrinkly and have shrunken con-
siderably in size. While the tomatoes are
roasting, in a medium bowl stir together
the ricotta, basil, thyme and oregano. Set
aside to allow the avors to meld.
Serve the herbed ricotta alongside the
roasted tomato halves. Sprinkle with
toasted walnuts and drizzle lightly with
balsamic vinegar, if using.
Nuts are good in a healthy diet
Whether you prefer to incorporate them in a dish,sprinkle nuts on a salad,or snack
them by the handful, they are a great choice for healthy eating.
Whole Foods to stop sale
of unsustainable seafood
By Michael Hill
ALBANY, N.Y. Whole Foods Market said Friday that it
will stop selling sh caught from depleted waters or through
ecologically damaging methods, a move that comes as super-
markets nationwide try to make their seafood selections more
sustainable.
Starting Earth Day, April 22, the natural and organic super-
market chain will no longer carry wild-caught seafood that is
red-rated, a color code that indicates it is either overshed or
caught in a way that harms other species. The ratings are deter-
mined by the Blue Ocean Institute, an advocacy group, and the
Monterey Bay Aquarium in California.
Among the seafood disappearing from Whole Foods shelves
will be octopus, gray sole, skate, Atlantic halibut and Atlantic
cod caught by trawls, which can destroy habitats. The compa-
ny will stock sustainable replacements like cod caught on lines
and halibut from the Pacic.
In the long term, what were really looking to do is help
reverse trends of overshing and bi-catch, so that really we can
move the industry as a whole toward greater sustainability,
said seafood quality standards coordinator Carrie Brownstein.
She added that Whole Foods is making the shift a year ahead
of its internal deadline.
Retail prices could be higher in some cases in which sus-
tainable suppliers have lower yields.
Whole Foods, which has been strengthening its buying prac-
tices for years, is among a number of supermarket chains
responding as consumers become more concerned about the
sources of their seafood.
In the past month, BJs Wholesale Club announced a policy
to ensure its seafood is sustainable or on track to meet sustain-
ability standards by 2014, and Supervalu announced a com-
prehensive policy to ensure its farm-raised seafood is sustain-
able. Supervalu, which operates Albertsons, Shop n Save and
seven other retail brands, also stopped selling six wild-caught
species because of sustainability concerns.
The changes have come fast. In 2008, when Greenpeace rst
published its seafood sustainability scorecard of supermarkets,
all 20 of the major chains surveyed failed. Last year, 15 of 20
companies had passing scores, said John Hocevar, the environ-
mental groups oceans campaign director.

dropped to 11th for health behaviors
like smoking and drinking, 12th for a
healthy physical environment like air
pollution and 19th for morbidity.
Among the Bay Area counties, only
Marin rst place statewide and
Santa Clara in second beat out San
Mateo County. San Benito and Placer
counties, respectively, also edged out
San Mateo County while neighboring
San Francisco pulled in the 24th spot.
The reports source is very reputable
and its ndings are reective of what the
countys health officials see, Mayer
said.
The county has a ratio of primary care
physicians to residents of 721 to 1, 82
percent of residents are screened for
diabetes and 70 percent get mammogra-
phy screening. Only 9 percent of chil-
dren are in poverty, but 22 percent of
children are in single-parent households
and the violent crime rate is 301 inci-
dents per 100,000 people.
The county has consistently ranked in
the top ve which indicates in part its
afuence but also the efforts made in
health prevention, particular balancing
efforts equally helpful for residents of
all ages, Mayer said.
For instance, the county is combating
its 34 percent childhood obesity prob-
lem with communities that foster walk-
ing and have access to fresh fruit and
vegetables and safe access to parks.
However, Mayer said the goal is also
making sure those sidewalks good for
biking and walking are also safe for
older adults who move at a slower pace.
These types of changes take a really
long time of consistent and regular
work so the rankings reflect great
progress across the board, Mayer said.
That said, there is always more work
to be done.
The countys obesity rate is 20 per-
cent which falls below the 25 percent
national average and 24 percent in the
state. The county also has a better motor
vehicle crash death rate than the others,
seven per 100,000 locally versus 12
both nationwide and statewide between
2002 and 2008.
The birth rate is 23 per 1,000 teens
aged 15 to 19 in San Mateo County, just
above the nations 22 but below
Californias 40 important statistics,
according to the rankings, because teen
pregnancy is linked with poor prenatal
care and pre-term delivery.
Fourteen percent of the countys adult
population smokes which is on par with
the state and nation but 18 percent
reported binge and heavy drinking com-
pared to the nations 8 percent and the
states 17 percent between 2004 and
2010. Binge drinking was dened as
four alcoholic drinks for women and
ve for men on a single occasion in the
past 30 days while heavy drinking is
more than one for women or two for
men per day.
The county also reported 248 new
chlamydia infections per 100,000 peo-
ple in 2009 which is shy of the states
average of 399 but nearly triple the
national benchmark of 84.
Mayer said both the drinking and
STD numbers do not seem out of the
ordinary for the county.
The full report and rankings are
available at www.countyhealthrank-
ings.org.

the family said prayers and sang
hymns.
Haros former school, Newark Junior
High School in the East Bay, also held a
moment of silence for the boy at lunch
yesterday. Haro, in the eighth grade,
transferred to Vallemar earlier in the
school year and was an avid soccer
player and skateboarder.
He was a well-liked kid, a pretty
good athlete and had a great smile,
according to his teachers, Mark Neal,
the principal at Newark Junior High
School wrote the Daily Journal in an
email yesterday.
The American Red Cross is housing
the rest of the family now and looking to
transition them into long-term housing,
said Cynthia Shaw, a local spokes-
woman for the Red Cross.
So far, we have provided them with
shelter, food and emotional support,
Shaw said.
The re was reported at 5:54 a.m.
from a home on the 500 block of
Inverness Drive in Pacica.
A cause of the re has yet to be deter-
mined but officials with the North
County Fire Authority indicated it was
likely not set intentionally.
The principal and parents group at
Sunset Ridge Elementary School in
Pacica set up a memorial fund for the
family, where some in the Haro family
currently attend school.
The Sunday blaze was too intense ini-
tially for firefighters to battle from
inside the home, a North County re
ofcial said.
Arriving reghters reported heavy
ames coming from windows on both
oors of the two-story home.
Two adults and a child were taken to
San Francisco General Hospital suffer-
ing minor injuries from smoke inhala-
tion and a burned arm.
Occupants of the home who had evac-
uated Sunday morning told reghters
that two people were possibly still
inside.
To assist the family and make a dona-
tion, send checks to the Haro Family
Memorial Fund, Sunset Ridge

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 2012
ARIES (March 21-April 19)There is an abundance
of opportunities around you, but unless something in
particular interests you, youre likely to ignore them
all. Dont let this be a do-nothing day.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Although you have an
abundance of friends with whom to share the day, there
is likely to be one ineffective acquaintance who will
serve as a detractor. Dont let him or her spoil the fun.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)If you fnd yourself
devoting too much time to trivial activities, put a stop
to it as early in the day as you can. Once you get in
gear, you can accomplish all your big objectives.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)Even if your reasoning
skills arent as sharp as they usually are, youll still
be alert enough to get a reasonable amount done,
and in a successful manner. It should be a decent
day for you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Your chances for generat-
ing substantial material returns are excellent but, of
course, it will be up to you to actually do so. Dont
just talk a good game, jump in and play.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Others will verify that
youre the one who is making a major contribution to
a joint endeavor, yet you wont see it. Thats OK, as
long as your partner recognizes it and appreciates
what you do.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)Trust your luck, because
developments over which you seem to have little
control will be the ones that shower you with the
largest rewards.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)Avail yourself of a new
organization or club that will give you a chance to
mingle and meet with a number of infuential people.
Some of these big shots could become your buddies.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)When it comes to
career-related issues, dont hide your light under a
bushel. If you believe that you have a constructive
idea to contribute, make your concept known.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Whether or not you
believe your social life is at a high point, there are
some strong indicators that it is about to get even
better. Someone fascinating and dynamic is about to
enter the scene.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)A transformation that
youve been wishing would take place is about to
happen. It will not only beneft you, but your loved
ones or a close buddy as well.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)You might have a hard
time believing it, but if you stand back a minute you
would see that it is not only the other fella who is
getting all the concessions, its you too.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
SAM JORDAN
Case Number 122191
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: SAM JORDAN. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Sa-
muel L. Jordan, Jr. in the Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition of Probate requests that Samuel
L. Jordan, Jr. be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: May 4, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo, 400 County Cen-
ter, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you ob-
ject to the granting of the petition, you
should appear at the hearing and state
your objections or file written objections
with the court before the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person or by your
attorney. If you are a creditor or a con-
tingent creditor of the decedent, you
must file your claim with the court and
mail a copy to the personal representa-
tive appointed by the court within four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters as provided in Probate Code sec-
tion 9100. The time for filing claims will
not expire before four months from the
hearing date noticed above. You may
examine the file kept by the court. If you
are a person interested in the estate, you
may file with the court a Request for
Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing
of an inventory and appraisal of estate
assets or of any petition or account as
provided in Probate Code section 1250.
A Request for Special Notice form is
available from the court clerk.

WORLD 30 Wednesday April 4, 2012 THEDAILYJOURNAL
By Ben Hubbard and Albert Aji
BEIRUT Syrian troops began pulling
out Tuesday from some calm cities and head-
ed back to their bases a week ahead of a dead-
line to implement an international cease-re
plan, a government ofcial said.
The claim could not immediately be veri-
ed and activists near the capital Damascus
denied troops were leaving their area. They
said the day regime forces withdraw from
streets, Syria will witness massive protests
that will overthrow the government.
Forces began withdrawing to outside calm
cities and are returning to their bases, while in
tense areas, they are pulling out to the out-
skirts, the government official told the
Associated Press in Damascus without saying
when the withdrawal began. He spoke on
condition of anonymity because he was not
authorized to talk to the media.
President Bashar Assad agreed just days
ago to an April 10 deadline to implement
international envoy Ko Annans truce plan.
It requires regime forces to withdraw from
towns and cities and observe a cease-re.
Rebel ghters are to immediately follow by
ceasing violence.
Khaled al-Omar, an activist in the
Damascus suburb of Saqba, denied that any
withdrawal was under way in his area.
This is impossible. I can see a checkpoint
from my window, he said via Skype, adding
the regime forces were still in the main
square.
Earlier in the day, opposition activists
charged that the regime was racing to crush
opponents ahead of the cease-re deadline by
carrying out intense raids, arrests and shelling
on Tuesday.
Opposition activists have blasted Annans
plan as too little, too late and are particularly
angry that it does not call for Assad to leave
power the central demand of the uprising.
They suspect Assad will manipulate the plan
and use it to stall for time while his forces
continue to crack down.
He thinks he can win more time to take
control of all Syrian cities, activist Adel al-
Omari said by phone from the southern town
of Dael, where regime forces have been
torching activists homes since they raided on
Monday. This wont happen, because as
soon as he withdraws his tanks from the
cities, the people will come out and push to
topple the regime.
Western leaders have cautiously accepted
the April 10 deadline while pointing out that
Assad has broken previous promises and
insisting the regime must be judged by its
actions.
Also Tuesday, Amnesty International said
people are still being arrested across Syria,
including 13 students who were beaten at
their school in the Damascus suburb of
Daraya.
The organization said it received the names
of 232 individuals, including 17 children,
who were reported to have been killed since
Syria agreed to the plan on March 27.
Syrian troops begin pullout
Clashes in rival towns
kill 22 in western Libya
TRIPOLI, Libya Militias from rival
towns in western Libya battled each other
with tanks and artillery on Tuesday in erce
ghting that killed at least 22 people, local
ofcials said.
The clashes erupted over the weekend
between the Arab-majority town of Ragdalein
and the Berber-dominated town of Zwara,
some 110 kilometers (70 miles) west of the
capital Tripoli. The violence is fueled by
deep-rooted animosity between the neighbors,
who took different sides in Libyas civil war
that toppled Moammar Gadha last year.
The ghting is the latest in a series of local
rivalries that threaten to divide Libya along
tribal and regional lines. Libyas new leaders,
who took power after Gadhas capture and
killing in October, have struggled to stamp
their authority on the country and rein in the
myriad armed groups that helped defeat the
dictators forces but have refused to disarm.
Mali Coup leader stays
put, despite sanctions
BAMAKO, Mali The day after an
embargo was placed on Mali, the soldier who
led a recent coup said Tuesday that he agrees
with restoring constitutional order, but rst
Malis ills need to be addressed by holding a
national convention which will decide on the
best way forward.
With Capt. Amadou Haya Sanogo refusing
to step down, surrounding nations have
imposed severe nancial sanctions on Mali,
including the closing of the countrys borders
and the freezing of its account at the regional
central bank.
The embargo went into effect overnight
Monday, after Sanogo failed to meet the 72-
hour deadline imposed by the Economic
Community of West African States, or
ECOWAS, which had demanded he hand
power to civilians immediately.
