KERRY, KARZAI BURY HATCHET IN KABUL MEETING
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A vote to change how trustees of the San
Mateo County Community College District
was postponed Thursday because ofcials
wanted more time to study the map and ll the
vacancy that will be created by board
President Helen Hausman stepping down next
month.
Hausman announced
that she intended to retire
from the board due to
health problems at the start
of Thursdays meeting,
said district spokeswoman
Barbara Christensen. The
ofcial date of her retire-
ment will be provided
prior to the boards next
meeting on April 10. Because of the upcom-
ing vacancy, many of the trustees thought it
would make sense to postpone voting on cre-
ating a by-district election, a switch from the
current at-large election system. Delaying the
vote will allow the district to contend with ll-
ing the vacancy before deciding on the pro-
posed boundary maps and election changes.
Its going to be a big change, said
board Vice President Karen Schwartz of
the election decision.
Schwartz said the delay will allow more
time to study and become familiar with the
maps.
Vacancies are rare on the college board. Its
been more than 20 years since a trustee has
left prior to the end of his or her term.
Hausman joined the board in 1989. Her cur-

Devils Slide tunnels finally open
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Annette Lantos couldnt keep her-
self from crying yesterday as she
helped open the tunnels at Devils
Slide nearly 32 years after her
late husband secured the rst $50
million in federal funding to bypass
the dangerous stretch of highway
south of Pacica.
The Tom Lantos Tunnels at
Devils Slide were scheduled to
open to trafc late last night but not
before a host of dignitaries were
invited to the coast in the morning to
celebrate the grand opening of
Caltrans $439 million twin tunnel
project.
Construction started on the project
in 2006 after Lantos, rst elected to
Congress in 1981, secured emer-
gency federal funding to construct a
bypass for Devils Slide on Highway
1, which would close often as the
road would sometimes collapse dur-
ing bad weather.
In 1995, the slide closed for 158
days and a year later county voters
overwhelming passed Measure T,
which called for constructing tun-
nels rather than carve up Montara
Mountain for a new highway.
He was a young freshman con-
gressman when he secured the $50
million for the project. The idea for
a tunnel was just in the imagination
then but now it is fully realized. Im
happy but very sad I cant share it
with Tom, Lantos told the Daily
Journal as she held back tears.

The search for a 22-year-old man who dis-

Sunday afternoon has been called off, a U.S.
Coast Guard ofcer said Monday morning.
The man was playing football with friends
at Roosevelt State Beach near Pillar Point
when members of the group realized he was

responded, and the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Ofce sent out a boat and a plane to
search for the man, sheriffs Deputy Rebecca

It has not been conrmed that the man ever
entered the water, Leahey said.

He was wearing a black T-shirt and shorts
when he disappeared.
Leahey said the mans name is not being

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
After a man wielding a long-barreled shot-
gun robbed someone on the street last week and
ed in a red Honda, San Mateo police set up a
covert operation near Eldorado Street and
Second Avenue as a trend in street robberies
has increased in the area this month, according
to police.
The citys Crime Reduction Unit set up in the

sion of a loaded shotgun concealed in his pants,
according to police.
Arrested were Keyana McLish, 19, of

BOSTON House Democratic
Leader Nancy Pelosi marked the 20th
anniversary of the federal Family and
Medical Leave Act in Boston by pushing
for federal legislation that would require
businesses to allow up to seven paid sick
days a year.
The 1993 law offers 12 weeks of
unpaid leave, which workers can use to
care for a new baby or sick family mem-
ber or to recover from an illness.
The law applies to workers hired by
companies with 50 or more employ-
ees, who work more than 1,250 hours
a year and who have been on the job
for at least a year. Labor activists say
that excludes more than half the work-
force.
Pelosi said federal laws should guar-
antee that workers can earn paid time
off.
Its not just about women, its about
families, Pelosi said Monday. Many
men take advantage of the Family and
Medical Leave Act.
Pelosi, a U.S. representative from
California, is pushing for a national stan-
dard that would let workers earn up to
seven paid sick days each year. She said
40 million Americans have no paid sick
days, forcing them to work while they
are ill or forfeit income.
State lawmakers are pushing their own
bill that would let workers earn one hour
of paid sick time for every 30 hours
worked. They said the bill would extend
the protection of paid time off to nearly
a million people in Massachusetts now
without it.
Critics of efforts to require paid time
off say small businesses dont need an
added nancial burden when the nation
is still trying to recover from the reces-
sion.
Pelosi also said Monday that she
was confident the U.S. Supreme Court
will strike down the federal Defense
of Marriage Act, a 1996 law that
defines marriage as between one man
and one woman. The court will take
up the law Wednesday.
Those families should have the full
protection of the law, Pelosi said, refer-
ring to gay married couples who have
been denied federal benets.
Speaking to reporters after the event,
Pelosi faulted the U.S. Senate for voting
to strip away part of President Barack
Obamas landmark health care law.
Last week, the Senate voted 79-20 to
repeal a 2.3 percent sales tax on medical
devices such as catheters, pacemakers
and MRI machines. The tax was intend-
ed to help to nance coverage for the
uninsured that starts next year.

SACRAMENTO Over the years,
California has added more parks to its
state system than it can afford and
should consider turning over control of
some to local entities, a new report says.
The report released Monday by the
Little Hoover Commission identied a
number of problems with the park sys-
tem. It even suggested that tourist
favorite Hearst Castle might be better
run by an operator such as the Getty
Museum that is more versed in protect-
ing the hilltop mansions European art
collection.
While the outlandish Central Coast
home of William Randolph Hearst is a
major source of revenue, its upkeep
exceeds the income it generates through
ticket sales and the cost of needed main-
tenance is as high as $60 million.
We have to take a fresh and rigorous
look at the system from top to bottom,
said Stuart Drown, executive director of
the commission, a state oversight
agency. We need a new business model
and fresh thinking.
From the coast to the giant sequoias of
the Sierra, the California parks system
protects some of the most historic and
breathtaking places in the world. For
years, the department has allowed mil-
lions of dollars in maintenance problems
to pile up as it struggled with shrinking
budgets and a manager mindset unaccus-
tomed to generating revenue or asking
for help, the report said.
The commission began looking at the
state park system a year ago. After
decades of decreasing funding, a $22
million cut at the time from its $779 mil-
lion budget threatened the closure of a
quarter of the 278 parks in the system.
Ofcials were unable to explain how the
parks were chosen or the cost of operat-
ing individual sites.
The revelations plus the discovery
last year of $54 million hidden from the

State Sen.
Jerry Hill, D-

hold a news con-
ference in
Brisbane outside
the former home
of VWR International to announce he is
introducing legislation to close a corpo-
rate tax loophole that allowed the labora-
tory and medical supply company to
claim a $37,000 tax credit for each of the
150 local workers it displaced when it
moved last year to an enterprise zone in
the San Joaquin Valley city of Visalia.
Joining Hill to voice support for Senate
Bill 434 will be former VWR employees,
labor leaders including Art Pulaski, sec-
retary-treasurer of the California Labor
Federation and representatives of
Brisbane, which lost 50 percent of its
sales tax revenue when VWR relocated to
Visalia, where it hired replacement work-
ers at lower wages, according to Hills
office.
There are 40 enterprise zones in
California in which companies receive
myriad tax breaks even when they
dont create new jobs. The largest is a hir-
ing credit like the one VWR received
that costs California $700 million a year,
and the costs are growing by more than 30
percent annually, according to Hills

The press conference is 10:30 a.m.,

MILLBRAE Our
countrys economic
roller-coaster ride
has been interesting
and historic for
sure, but also very
troubling for many
families whove not
been as financially stable as others.
Recently though Ive been observing a
phenomenon with those we serve at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. It may
be too early to confirm, but it appears that
there is a general state of confidence with
many families, along with the decisions and
choices they make during funeral
arrangements. Yes, I know you are thinking
that confidence is not a term you would
use to coincide with funeral arrangements,
but it appears to me that people I see are
tending to be more financially assured than
during the deepest years of The Great
Recession.
They say that the two things you cant
avoid are death and taxes. With that in
mind, during the economic downturn I saw a
very noticeable sense of thrift and
prudence with a lot of families who
experienced a death during that period.
Still, those who tended to cost shop at
various funeral homes selected CHAPEL
OF THE HIGHLANDS to handle funeral or
cremation arrangements. These families
found comfort with our service, and notably
with our more economic cost structure.
Now, lately the trend with families and
their funeral choices reminds me of the days
way before the recession hit. Its not that
people are utilizing their funds differently,
spending more or spending less, but that
they are more assertive and confident when
using their wallet. Seeing this over and over
gives me a good indication that something in
the economic climate is changing compared
to not that long ago.
Even though many of our honorable
elected officials in Sacramento and
Washington D.C. appear to be as inflexible
with economic issues as always, the air of
confidence with the families Ive been
dealing with means to me that these people
are feeling less pressured financially.
It is well known that when businesses do
well they hire more employees, and when
those employees are confident they will
spend their money on goods and services.
In turn, the companies that provide goods
and services will need competent employees
to create more goods, give more services,
and so onmaking a positive circle for a
healthy economy. In relation to that, after a
long period of U.S. manufacturing jobs
being sent over-seas there is news of a
growing number of companies bringing this
work back to the United States. Real Estate
values on the Peninsula remained in a good
state during the recession, but houses here
are now in demand more than ever.
Encouraging Hopeful and Positive
are words to describe the optimistic
vibrations that people are giving off. If the
community is becoming more comfortable
with spending, that indicates good health for
business and the enrichment of our
economic atmosphere. I hope Im right, so
lets all keep our fingers crossed.
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

Funeral Trends Indicate
Upswing in the Economy

By Mark Sherman
WASHINGTON The Supreme Courts
decision to hear a new case from Michigan on
the politically charged issue of afrmative
action offers an intriguing hint that the jus-
tices will not use a separate challenge already
pending from Texas for a broad ruling bring-
ing an end to the consideration of race in col-
lege admissions.
To be sure, the two cases involve different
legal issues. The University of Texas dispute,
with arguments already completed and a rul-
ing possible soon, centers on the use of race to
ll some slots in the schools freshman class-
es. The Michigan case asks whether a voter-
approved ban on afrmative action in college
admissions can itself violate the Constitution.
But the broadest possible outcome in the
current Texas case overruling the courts
2003 decision that allows race as a factor in
college admissions would mean an end to
afrmative action in higher education and ren-
der the new Michigan lawsuit irrelevant.
If the justices are planning to overrule that
earlier decision, then I would think they
would hold this case, the new one, and order
lower courts to review it based on the Texas
decision, said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of
the law school at the University of California
at Irvine. He is representing students and fac-
ulty members in the Michigan case.
At the October argument in Fisher v.
University of Texas, the courts conservative
justices sounded as if they were ready to
impose new limits on the use of race in col-
lege admissions. More than ve months have
passed without a decision, which is not
unusual in the courts most contentious cases.
The appeal in the Michigan case comes
from state Attorney General Bill Schuette,
following a ruling from the sharply divided
6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
Cincinnati. The appeals court, by an 8-7 vote,
found fault with the 2006 constitutional
amendment to outlaw preferential treatment
on the basis of race and other factors in col-
lege admissions. The provision also applies to
afrmative action in public employment and
government contracting, but those issues are
not being challenged.
High court takes on a new affirmative action case
By Tracie Cone
SACRAMENTO Lawyers for the
California city of Stockton said Monday it has
cut its budget and services to the bone and has
no choice about becoming the most populous
U.S. city to enter bankruptcy.
Creditors countered that the city has actual-
ly padded its spending to enhance its ability to
persuade a judge to let it seek Chapter 9 pro-
tection.
The arguments came as the city faced off
with its creditors at a trial to decide the issue.
Stockton has become emblematic of gov-
ernment excess and the nancial calamity that
resulted when the nations housing bubble
burst.
Its salaries, benets and borrowing were
based on anticipated long-term developer fees
and increasing property tax revenue. But
those were lost in a urry of foreclosures.
In his opening argument at the trial, Mark
Levinson, an attorney representing the city,
argued it has no other option but bankruptcy.
Stockton is a city of 300,000, and I ven-
ture to say none of them is happy about
bankruptcy, Levinson said in federal bank-
ruptcy court in Sacramento.
Creditors, however, complained that
Stockton had failed to negotiate cuts in the
money it pays into the state pension fund.
The city is not insolvent, said Guy Neal,
an attorney for the citys bond insurers. The
city has stacked the deck in favor of insolven-
cy by padding the budget with non-essential
expenditures. Stockton can and should do
more to reduce expenses.
Unable to negotiate a deal, the creditors
want the city to avoid bankruptcy, which
would likely allow Stockton to avoid repaying
the debts in full.
The trial will determine whether the city
negotiated with its creditors in good faith
before ling for Chapter 9 protection. The
trial is expected to last four days.
The citys population grew by nearly 20
percent between 2000 and 2005 and real
estate tripled in value. However, home prices
plummeted 40 percent the following year
before bottoming out at 70 percent.
Within two years, Stockton had accumulat-
ed nearly $1 billion in debt on civic improve-
ments; money owed to pay pension contribu-
tions; and the most generous health care ben-
ets in the state.

NYCs Met Museum
accused of duping on fees
NEW YORK Before visitors to the
Metropolitan Museum of Art can stroll past
the Picassos, Renoirs, Rembrandts and other
priceless works, they must rst deal with the
ticket line, the posted $25 adult admission
and the meaning of the word in smaller type
just beneath it: recommended.
Many people, especially foreign tourists,
dont see it, dont understand it or dont ques-
tion it. If they ask, they are told the fee is
merely a suggested donation: You can pay
what you wish, but you must pay something.
Confusion over whats required to enter
one of the worlds great museums, which
draws more than 6 million visitors a year, is
at the heart of a class-action lawsuit this
month accusing the Met of scheming to
defraud the public into believing the fees are
required.
The suit seeks compensation for museum
members and visitors who paid by credit card
over the past few years, though some who
choose to pay less than the full price pull out
a $10 or $5 bill. Some fork over a buck or
loose change. Those who balk at paying any-
thing at all are told they wont be allowed in
unless they pay something, even a penny.
House approves shark fin ban
ANNAPOLIS, Md. A measure banning
the trade of shark fins in Maryland has
cleared the House of Delegates.
The bill passed on a 115-17 vote Monday.
The measure now goes to the Senate, where
there is a similar bill pending.
Shark ns are used in traditional Chinese
soup. Demand has led to the practice of slic-
ing off the ns of a shark while it is still alive
and discarding the wounded shark at sea.
Maryland has a small recreational and com-
mercial shark shery. State analysts say about
15 commercial watermen report catching
sharks in state waters each year.

ROME Italys highest court delayed until
Tuesday a decision on whether American stu-
dent Amanda Knox will face a new trial in the
murder of her British roommate an unusual
but not unprecedented move.
The court heard six hours of arguments
Monday and spent several hours deliberating
that and a handful of other cases before
announcing it would issue a decision at 10 a.m.
(0900 GMT) Tuesday on whether the 2011
acquittals of Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend
Raffaele Sollecito will stand.
Italian prosecutors have asked the high court
to throw out the acquittals of Knox and
Sollecito in the murder of 21-year-old British
student Meredith Kercher and order a new trial.
The high court normally issues the decisions
the same day it hears arguments. But prosecu-
tor general Luigi Riello
told reporters that in very
complex cases, it happens
that the court takes another
day.
Lawyers for Sollecito
declined to speculate on
what the delay could mean
for the decision. Sollecitos
father was calm about the
development.
We have waited so many years, one night is
not going to make a difference, Francesco
Sollecito said outside the courthouse. He said
he hadnt spoken to his son, who did not attend
the hearing, about the days proceedings.
Knox, meanwhile, was waiting anxiously in
Seattle to hear if her long legal battle is over.
Shes carefully paying attention to what will
come out, attorney Luciano Ghirga said as he
arrived at Italys Court of Cassation in Rome.
This is a fundamental stage. The trial is very
complex.
Knox, now 25, and Raffaele Sollecito, who
turns 29 on Tuesday, were arrested in 2007,
shortly after Kerchers body was found in a
pool of blood in her bedroom in the rented
apartment she shared with the American and
others in the university town of Perugia, where
they were exchange students. Her throat had
been slashed.
Prosecutors alleged that Kercher was the vic-
tim of a drug-fueled sexual assault.
Knox and Sollecito have both maintained
their innocence, although they said that smok-
ing marijuana the night Kercher was killed had
clouded their recollections.
Knox and Sollecito were convicted and given
long prison sentences: 26 years for Knox, 25
for Sollecito. But an appeals court acquitted
them in 2011, criticizing virtually the entire
case mounted by prosecutors.
Knox must wait one more
day for Italy court decision

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti One of Haitis
biggest shantytowns, a vast expanse of grim
cinderblock homes on a mountainside in the
nations capital, is getting a psychedelic
makeover that aims to be part art and part
homage.
Workers this month began painting the con-
crete facades of buildings in Jalousie slum a
rainbow of purple, peach, lime and cream,
inspired by the dazzling cities-in-the-skies
of well-known Haitian painter Prefete
Duffaut, who died last year.
The $1.4 million effort titled Beauty versus
Poverty: Jalousie in Colors is part of a gov-
ernment project to relocate people from the
displacement camps that sprouted up after
Haitis 2010 earthquake. The relocation has
targeted a handful of high-prole camps in
Port-au-Prince by paying a years worth of
rent subsidies for residents to move into
neighborhoods like Jalousie. The government
is now trying to spruce up these poor neigh-
borhoods and introduce city services.
Were not trying to do Coconut Grove.
Were not trying to do South Beach, said
Clement Belizaire, director of the govern-
ments housing relocation program, referring
to Miami neighborhoods. The goal that we
are shooting for is a neighborhood that is
modest but decent, where residents are proud
to be from that area.
While most residents welcome the attempt
to beautify Jalousie, a slum of 45,000 inhabi-
tants, critics say the project is the latest exam-
ple of cosmetic changes carried out by a gov-
ernment that has done little to improve peo-
ples lives in the Western Hemispheres poor-
est country.
This is just to make it look like theyre
doing something for the people but in reality
they are not, said Sen. Moise Jean-Charles,
an outspoken critic of President Michel
Martelly, arguing that the money could have
been better spent.

OPINION 9
Hannig is so right
Editor,
Ted Hannigs recent guest perspective
was so welcome, witty, clever, erudite
pick your superlatives (in response
to Marriage rights: A modest propos-
al in the March 23 edition of the Daily
Journal). He examined a currently
explosive societal question and put it
into much-needed perspective.
My own perspective regarding the
rights of people to marry partners of
their choice, regardless of gender, is of
course, the right one, but I wont be
very concerned if the Supreme Court
comes to the wrong conclusion that
favors the incorrect side of the question.
Given the right-wing avor of our
current sitting justices, however, I have
to doubt that theyll make the right
decision.
But will it really matter? Relax, folks
listen to Ted Hannig.

Right on!
Editor,
Finally, a brave voice setting things
right. Ted J. Hannigs March 23 guest
perspective, Marriage rights: A mod-
est proposal, is right on, not the oppo-
site. Its about time someone put things
right. Enough of these leftist demands
for equal rights for a chosen lifestyle
from people claiming they were born
that way. Left-handedness is a chosen
lifestyle, so in your face! What a mess
itd be if leftists got their way. Driving
on the left side would create chaos of
biblical proportions, like poking a left
nger in Gods eye. That wouldnt be
right. Ever noticed all the road signs
with the reminder no left turn or
right-of-way? Who sits on the right
side in Congress? Ha!
Take books. They open on the right
side, using your right hand, exactly as
God intended when he created the
Bible. It goes for coffee cups too. Why
is the handle on the right side? Because
thats where it belongs (unless an uppity
leftie turns the cup around). Ever won-
der why the bride is always on the right
side of the groom? What a disastrous
marriage if she were put on the left,
making fun of god-given traditions.
Now the left-handed minority
demand equal rights, of all things.
Equal lefts is ne with me.
Remember our God-selected president
Bush and his slogan no child left
behind? He never said no child right
behind. Thats where Cheney
belonged.
Hannigs column is on the right side
of the page, exactly as the editor intend-
ed. We both write and read toward the
right, not the opposite. Kudos to Hannig
right up my alley. Hes destined to
be lifted right up to heaven when the
time comes, while everyone with the
self-inicted lifestyle of left-handedness
is left behind and rightfully so!

Former high-speed rail
chair not true supporter
Editor,
Former High-Speed Rail Authority
Chair Quentin Kopp recently became a
high-speed rail opponent by joining
those who want to derail the project by
suggesting the blended plan on the
Peninsula to be inconsistent with
Proposition 1A (Rail authority sued
again in the March 19 edition of the
Daily Journal).
He joined the opposition because he
somehow thinks the blended plan is not
true high-speed rail. But if the blend-
ed plan is not on the table, there likely
wont be any high-speed rail.
He has a record of ip-opping and
poor transportation planning. Back in
1987, he considered the Caltrain exten-
sion to Transbay Terminal a top priority,
but when he was the chairperson of
HSRA more than two decades later, he
voted against the Transbay project,
which is a planned terminal for high-
speed rail. In the mid-1990s, he backed
a more expensive alternative to extend
BART to the San Francisco
International Airport and Millbrae. The
extension almost bankrupted SamTrans
and the connection to SFO from
Caltrain (and future high-speed rail)
became much more cumbersome.
The blended plan shouldve been an
option for high-speed rail from the
beginning. The original four-track pro-
posal caused so much grief on the
Peninsula, and it ultimately became an
obstacle in the pursuit of high-speed
rail. I was never sure about Mr. Kopps
intention when he was the chair, but
now I believe that hes no longer a real
high-speed rail supporter that he pro-
claims to be.

The Chicago Tribune
D
ecades ago, in the scariest
days of the nuclear arms race
with Russia, American
schoolchildren learned to duck and
cover under their desks in case an
atomic bomb was dropped nearby.
Since the end of the Cold War, kids
have grown up free of the fear of
nuclear attack. But those days may be
coming to an end.
New threats have emerged. The rst
is North Korea, which is believed to
have as many as 10 nuclear warheads
and recently carried out its third nuclear
test. The Pyongyang regime, according
to House Intelligence Committee
Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., has
missiles that can reach U.S. shores.
Missile defense is an attempt to but-
tress the power to retaliate with the
ability to fend off incoming warheads
before they arrive. Last week the
Defense Department said it would
spend $1 billion to deploy more missile
interceptors along the West Coast to
shoot down a North Korean missile,
increasing the total number from 30 to
44 in the next four years.
Its a reasonable and useful step, at a
cost that would seem trivial if the sys-
tem were ever called on to deect an
attack.
With regard to Iran, the administra-
tion took a different step, scrapping the
last phase of a missile defense system
that has elicited vigorous objections
from the government of Russia
which regarded the program as a threat
to neutralize its nuclear weapons. The
Pentagon insisted the U.S. decision was
based on technical problems, which
may be true. But it may also serve to
pave the way to better relations and
even arms reductions with Moscow.
The danger still exists, of course, but
President Barack Obama has made it
clear he will take military action if nec-
essary to keep Iran from getting the
bomb. If he succeeds in deterring
Tehran from that course or in
forcibly preventing it the European
missile shield will not be needed quite
so soon.
American missile defense still has a
lot of hurdles to surmount before it can
offer a reliable safeguard against attack.
But even an imperfect system is better
than nothing. And no one can doubt the
need to keep pursuing it.
Growing need for missile defense
Public access in jeopardy
with proposed court fee
By Dave Price and Marshall Wilson
D
ecades of free access to public court les would
end under a proposal in Gov. Jerry Browns prelim-
inary budget.
We write this on behalf of the San Francisco Peninsula
Press Club Board of Directors, which strongly opposes the
proposal. But why should you?
Because free access to public records is a cornerstone of
our democracy. Free access to public records makes it more
difcult for those doing wrong to hide.
The proposal in the state budget would authorize courts to
charge a $10 search fee for les requested by journalists,
businesses and members of the public. It would exclude par-
ties involved in the cases requested.
The budget would also double the fee for photocopying a
court le from 50 cents to $1 a page.
The fees were among numerous revenue-generating pro-
posals made by state court administrators who have been
forced to cut $1 billion in costs over the past ve years. They
have had to re employees, shorten hours and delay court-
house construction projects due to these budget cuts, so it is
understandable that they would seek new sources of revenue.
But the courts should not seek to close their budget gap by
charging for public record searches. That would be a major
step backward in transparency and set barriers to information
people need in a free and democratic society.
A search fee would limit access to low-income citizens
and nonprot advocacy groups, and discourage legitimate
research by journalists of issues that are of concern to the
communities they serve.
A newspaper reporter on the legal beat might review 50
les in a day. At $10 a le, that would cost the newspaper
$500 a day or $130,000 a year. Few newspapers, not even
the largest ones, could afford such a daily expense.
Reporters would be forced to review fewer cases, reducing
the news the public would get from the media.
Small mom-and-pop community newspapers and inde-
pendent online scribes would be priced out of covering the
courts.
What is the cost to society? Plenty. Think of how many
stories you have read that have exposed wrongdoing by indi-
viduals, corporations or government agencies that include
the line, court records reveal.
Its in court records that journalists nd information that
informs the public and infuriates everyone from CEOs to
ofcials of all stripes.
This fee would hit businesses, too. When conducting back-
ground checks for lenders, employers and landlords,
researchers search court records for debt, eviction, criminal
and probate records.
The $10-per-le fee would hinder nonprot advocacy
groups who might want to research the legal history of a
land developer or industrial polluter, for instance.
In 2013, youd think that all court records would be
online, and that access to les would be a mouse click away.
But the state Judicial Council, the entity that proposed this
$10 fee to Gov. Brown, last year abandoned a computer sys-
tem to store case les online after costs had ballooned out of
control.
The Judicial Council blew a half-billion dollars on that
project more than offsetting the search fee it now wants
to collect.
Americas courts have a long tradition of open access root-
ed in the Sixth Amendment, which says all citizens are enti-
tled to a public trial. The framers of the constitution want-
ed public access to the courts to provide a check on excesses
in the legal system.
This approach to solving the courts nancial problems
ignores the publics role in monitoring the administration of
justice.
The documents held by the courts are considered to be
public documents, meaning they dont belong to the court.
They belong to the public.
The public shouldnt be asked to pay twice for access to
their documents.
The San Francisco Peninsula Press Club strongly supports
more funding for the courts, but asks the governor and the
Legislature to reject this wrong-headed fee that would limit
the publics right to know. We encourage you to do the same.

Big movers
By Daniel Wagner
Stocks reversed an early rise on Wall
Street Monday as traders returned to wor-
rying about the European economy.
Optimism about a deal to prevent nan-
cial collapse in Cyprus had briey pushed
the Standard & Poors 500 index to with-
in a quarter-point of its record closing
high, but stocks soon turned negative.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite
index both closed down 0.3 percent. The
Dow Jones industrial average slipped 0.4
percent.
Stocks turned negative about an hour
into the trading day Monday as the initial
euphoria about Cyprus deal to secure 10
billion euros in emergency funding was
overshadowed by renewed concerns about
the European economy.
The fear intensied after a top European
ofcial indicated that investors in strug-
gling banks may be forced to take losses
an element of the Cyprus agreement
that had previously been seen as unique to
that country.
All ten industry groups in the S&P
500 closed lower, with industrial and
materials companies posting the
biggest losses. Network technology
company VMware Inc. dove after the
website Business Insider reported that
PayPal and eBay will remove its soft-
ware from 80,000 servers. The stock
fell $3.65, or 4.6 percent, to $76.50.
Among the biggest drags on the S&P
500 index were software maker Red Hat
Inc., online marketplace eBay Inc. and
Textron Inc., an aerospace and defense
contractor.
Europe still needs a long-term econom-
ic x, said David Kelly, chief global
strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds. Business
activity in the 17 nations using the euro
has declined continually since September
2011, according to research by Markit, a
data provider. The regions economy
shrank 0.6 percent in 2012, according of-
cial government statistics.
Business activity in nations that use the
euro contracted more quickly in March,
according to Markits closely-watched
survey of purchasing executives, which
was published Thursday. The index had its
worst decline in four months.
European policy makers have avoided a
nancial crisis by ooding the market
with cash, but they havent addressed eco-
nomic hardship on the ground, Kelly said.
In granting Cyprus emergency rescue, for
example, lenders demanded economic
reforms, debt payments and a banking
overhaul that will result in heavy losses
for bank bondholders and shareholders. In
addition, people with more than 100,000
euros in their accounts will lose up to 40
percent of their deposits.
Kelly said thats tough to swallow for
people facing high unemployment and
government cutbacks in Greece, Italy,
Spain and other countries that received
bailouts.
If theyre going to end up broke any-
way, Kelly said, it will be harder and
harder for people to make the sacrices
that Europe is demanding of them. That
could lead voters in bailed-out countries to
resist lenders terms, increasing political
and economic instability in Europe and
weighing on global markets, he said.
That concern intensied Monday after a
key ofcial indicated that the Cyprus res-
cue may serve as a model in other nations
with struggling banks.
If the bank cant do it, then well talk
to the shareholders and the bondholders,
well ask them to contribute in recapitaliz-
ing the bank, and if necessary the unin-
sured deposit holders, said Jeroen
Dijsselbloem, who chairs meetings of
nance ministers from nations that use the
euro, in an interview with the Financial
Times and Reuters. Dijsselbloems ofce
conrmed the remarks.
Wall Street had opened higher, follow-
ing gains in Europe and Asia. Traders
were relieved that international lenders
agreed early Monday to release emer-
gency rescue funds for Cyprus. The
European Central Bank will continue to
support the nations foundering banks. In
exchange, Cyprus will take major steps to
shrink its troubled banking industry and
cut its budget.
Stocks fall on broad concern about Europe
By Elena Bectoros

NICOSIA, Cyprus Cyprus has extended
the closure of its banks for two more days
until Thursday a sudden postponement that
comes after the countrys leaders spent days
struggling to come up with a plan to raise the
money needed to secure an international
bailout.
Banks in the country have already been
closed for more than a week to prevent a run
on deposits. All except the countrys two
largest lenders had been due to open Tuesday
morning after the country clinched an
eleventh-hour deal with the 17-nation euro-
zone and the International Monetary Fund to
provide Cyprus with a bailout.
Without that deal, the countrys banks
would have collapsed, dragging down the
economy and potentially pushing it out of the
eurozone.
The decision to keep banks closed two more
days was announced late Monday. The
Central Bank said that for the smooth func-
tioning of the entire banking system, the
nance minister has decided, after a recom-
mendation by the governor of the Central
Bank, that all banks remain shut up to and
including Wednesday.
Banks have been closed since March 16 to
avert a run on deposits as the countrys politi-
cians struggled to come up with a way to raise
enough funds to qualify for the bailout. An
initial deal that would have seized up to 10
percent of peoples bank accounts spooked
depositors and was soundly rejected by law-
makers early last week.
ATMs have been functioning, but many run
quickly out of cash, and a daily withdrawal
limit of 100 euros was imposed on the two
largest lenders, Bank of Cyprus and Laiki.
Under the deal reached in the early hours of
Monday morning in Brussels, Cyprus agreed
to slash its oversized banking sector and
inict hefty losses on large depositors in trou-
bled banks to secure the 10 billion euro ($13
billion) bailout.
The new plan allows for the bulk of the
funds to be raised by forcing losses on
accounts of more than 100,000 euros in Laiki
and Bank of Cyprus, with the remainder com-
ing from tax increases and privatizations.

SAN FRANCISCO The two new suitors
pursuing Dell have a message for Wall Street:
Dont allow Michael Dell to hoard potential
gains from the PC makers expansion into
more protable technology products and serv-
ices.
Competing bidders Carl Icahn and the
Blackstone Group LP are wooing Dell share-
holders with an offer of a little more money
today coupled with the possibility of even big-
ger returns if the struggling personal comput-
er maker can pull off the turnaround envi-
sioned by its CEO and founder, Michael Dell
and a group of investors led by Silver Lake
Partners.
The new bidders are also making a state-
ment by proposing to maintain Dell Inc.s sta-
tus as a publicly traded company.
The long-awaited challenge to Michael Dell
and Silver Lake began to unfold Monday with
the announcement that Icahn, a billionaire
investor with a long history of corporate con-
frontation, and the Blackstone, a major buyout
rm, had submitted separate alternatives in an
attempt to scuttle a $24.4 billion sales agree-
ment that has been in place since Feb. 5.
If completed, the original deal would end
Dells 25-year history as a publicly traded
company, leaving it entirely owned by
Michael Dell, Silver Lake and a handful of
other investors. The new bidders are taking
advantage of a 45-day window that had been
left open for better offers.
Although the details are still sketchy, both
Icahn and Blackstone are offering to buy a
portion of Dell Inc.s outstanding stock at
prices higher than the $13.65 per share that
Michael Dell and Silver Lake have proposed
to pay. Icahn is offering $15 per share for up
to 58 percent of the companys existing stock
while Blackstone will ante up more than
$14.25 per share in cash or stock for an
unspecied number of shares.
SEC approves Nasdaqs
Facebook IPO payment plan
NEW YORK The Securities and
Exchange Commission said Monday that it has
approved a plan by the Nasdaq stock exchange
to pay $62 million in reimbursements to invest-
ment rms that lost money because of technical
problems during Facebooks initial public
offering last year.
The Nasdaq had said in June that it would
pay $40 million but later increased the amount
to $62 million.
Facebook went public May 18 amid great
fanfare, but computer glitches at the Nasdaq
delayed the start of trading and threw the debut
into chaos. Technical problems kept many
investors from buying shares that morning, sell-
ing them later in the day or even from knowing
whether their orders went through. Some said
they were left holding shares they didnt want.
Facebooks stock originally priced at $38 and
closed that rst day at $38.23 after going as
high as $45. The lackluster close disappointed
investors who had hoped for a rst-day pop.
Nasdaq has said that it was embarrassed by the
glitches, but that they didnt contribute to the
underwhelming returns.
Shares of Menlo Park-based Facebook Inc.
fell 39 cents to $25.34 in Monday morning
trading.
San Jose set to
consider Samsung incentives
SAN JOSE San Jose is set to consider
nalizing a $7 million incentive package to
keep Samsung Semiconductor in Silicon Valley
and trump an open invitation from Austin,
Texas, to expand its operations there.
The City Council is expected to approve the
plan at its Tuesday meeting,
The package includes an expedited 120-day
development permit process, a 50 percent break
on utility taxes, and a $37,440 tax credit for
each employee hired. The city is also reimburs-
ing Samsung $500,000 for equipment purchas-
es by the rm.
The deal was outlined at an August signing
ceremony at the City Hall Rotunda with Gov.
Jerry Brown, Mayor Chuck Reed and Jong-
Joon Kim, president of device solutions for
Samsung Electronics.
Parts of the incentive package have already
been approved. In January, the City Council
authorized a reduced trafc impact fee from
$13.54 per square foot to $5 per square foot.
San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed thanked
Samsung for choosing his city during his State
of the City address last month.

VOGEL-STRONG: ANOTHER SOLID OUTING FOR A GIANTS PITCHER IN WIN >>> PAGE 13
Serra wins on walk-off bunt in the 12th
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Serra was held to just one hit through 11
innings of play, but still managed to score a
dramatic 5-4 win over El Camino in yester-
days Knights of Columbus Tournament open-
er at Serra High School.
Junior right elder Nolan Dempsey execut-
ed a game-winning suicide squeeze to score
Christian Conci in the bottom of the 12th
inning marking the rst walk-off win for
Serra this season. The last time the Padres
won in walk-off fashion was in last years
West Catholic Athletic League playoff opener
against Bellarmine.
The Padres entered into their nal at bat
trailing by a run after El Camino broke a 3-3
deadlock in the top of the 12th. The Colts took
the lead when catcher Evan Giacomino laid
down a sacrice bunt that produced a run on a
Serra throwing error, allowing Harley Torres
to score from second base. But Serra tied it up
with one swing of the bat in the bottom of the
frame when catcher Michael Tinsley led off
the inning with a towering solo home run to
right.
I think the whole team decided in that last
inning just to go out and end it, Tinsley said.
Serra would have mustered little offense
without its lefty-handed-hitting catcher.
Tinsley provided the rst Serra hit of the day
with an RBI double in the rst. The next
Padres hit would not come until Tinsleys
12th-inning bomb. Serra totaled just three hits
throughout.
We were trying to hit balls as hard as we
could, Tinsley said. We got some over the
course of the entire game that just happened to
be right at people.
Still, El Camino retired the side in order just
four times in the game. Colts pitchers issued
Huge win
for Padres
I
f the Serra baseball team goes on to do
special things this season like win-
ning a West Catholic Athletic League
title and/or a Central Coast Section champi-
onship the Padres could look back on
Fridays win over St. Francis as the catalyst
that propelled them to lofty heights.
The Padres are no strangers to top-notch
competition. Their non-
league schedule is a whos
who of the Bay Areas
best. But their 10-9 road
win over the Lancers
Friday afternoon was a
statement win among
statement wins. The
Lancers are ranked No. 6
in the nation by Max
Preps and they showed off
their explosive offense by
putting a six-spot on Serra
in the rst inning and
increased their lead to 8-1
after a two-run third.
But the Padres, who are epitomizing the
denition of team this year, came roaring
back to hand the Lancers their rst loss of the
year. They scored six runs in the third to cut
the decit to 8-7 and then in bottom of the
fth, trailing 9-7, they scored three more to
take the lead.
Honor Roll has big
week on the links
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It was a good week on the links for local
golfers.
Sacred Heart Prep traveled to Marin County
on Monday for the Wildcat Invitational hosted
by Marin Catholic. The Gators nished in fth
place in the 23-team eld. Gator junior Bradley
Knox and sophomore Derek Ackerman both
recorded 4-over par rounds of 75 to lead the
team.
Freshman William Hsieh shot a 77 to lead
Menlo High school to a top 10 nish out of 21
high schools at the annual Wildcat Invitational.
Hsieh nished 25th in the eld of 117 high
school players.
Andrew Buchanan, the reigning Daily
Journal Golfer of the Year, shot a 78. He was
also the medalist in the Knights 191-227 win
over Harker, shooting a 31, 5-under par.
Elsewhere on the Honor Roll, the Crystal
Springs baseball team improved to 4-0 on the
season. Emmet Hiemstra went 2-for-3 with a
double and three RBIs against Hayward
Leadership and Alex Bierman went five
innings and knocked in the go-ahead run with
a single in the bottom of the sixth scoring Tim
Stiles. Stiles picked up the win.

Its almost a consensus among all
Peninsula Athletic League baseball
managers: The Hillsdale Knights can
hit.
As a team, the boys in baby blue and
red boast a .344 team batting average
and have scored 83 runs in 12 games.
Its a lineup made of up some well-
known PAL boppers.
But most recently, a young catcher
who last year broke into the varsity
level as a sophomore and bounced up
and down the lineup card, is the one
anchoring it.
Taran Poss is the No. 3 hitter on
arguably the Peninsulas best hitting
team and any baseball purist will tell
you that means the catcher, whos hit-
ting .459 this season, has to be in the
conversation as one of the leagues top
hitters.
Its really cool to hit No. 3 with all
the great hitters we have, Poss said. I
can be condent and do what I do and I
know theyre going to produce behind
me, get on base so I can drive them in.
We have a great team this year, a lot of
great hitters, so its just an honor to be
hitting in the 3-hole.
If you ask anyone on the Knights, the
honor is all theirs.
Last week, in posting a 2-0 record
against rival Aragon High School, Poss
went 7 for 8 from the plate and drove in

STANFORD Stanford womens basketball coach Tara
VanDerveer plans to sit down with athletic director Bernard
Muir at the end of the season to begin talks about a contract
extension.
VanDerveer is signed for two more years through the 2014-
15 season, but she said Monday she is ready to think about her
job on The Farm beyond that time frame
and to plan her future at the university
where she has become one of the top
coaches in the country.
I love it here, VanDerveer said
Monday before an NCAA tournament
practice. This spring were going to have
a conversation. I will meet with Bernard
and gure out what the plan will be. It
seems its a good thing to have a contract
with the things that are happening.
Basically, its just an athletic director and
university decide if youre going to work for them. Theres
always pressure on coaches.
VanDerveers top-seeded Cardinal (32-2) will play No. 8
seed Michigan on Tuesday night in the second round of the
NCAA tournament at home in Maples Pavilion as they look to
reach a sixth straight Final Four.
The 59-year-old Hall of Fame coach is in her 27th season at
Stanford and has a 741-151 record at the school. Shes in her
34th overall season as a Division I head coach, going 893-202
for her career.
Sixtys the new 40. Ive been here like 100 years now, 28
years. Thats a long time, VanDerveer said, including the
1995-96 season when she was away to coach the U.S.
Olympic team to a gold medal in the Atlanta Games.
Muir, who left Delaware last July to replace Big 12
Commissioner Bob Bowlsby as Stanford athletic director, is a
regular at Maples to watch VanDerveers team.
Still, VanDerveer knows the importance of a sit-down to get
a better idea of Muirs impressions of her and the program
moving forward.
You have a new athletic director. Hes been great, she
said. I love working with Bernard. This years team has done
extremely well to be 32-2 and have the injuries that weve
had. ... I have great communication with Bernard. I think well
have a really good conversation and gure out whats best for
me, for the team and for Stanford.

Tara VanDerveer
ORLANDO, Fla. The moment was
vintage Tiger Woods, and so was his
reaction.
Seconds after Rickie Fowler made a
40-foot birdie putt on the 12th hole to
pull within two shots of the lead, Woods
posed over his 25-foot birdie putt until
he swept the putter upward in his left
hand and marched toward the cup as it
dropped for a birdie.
Fowler, standing on the edge of the
green, turned with a slight smile as if to
say, What else can I do?
Woods won the Arnold Palmer
Invitational on Monday and returned to
No. 1 in the world for the rst time since
October 2010, the longest spell of his
career. After all that time, after so much
turmoil with his personal life and his
health, Woods looks as good as ever.
Maybe better.
Its a byproduct of hard work,
patience and getting back to winning
golf tournaments, Woods said.
He essentially wrapped up his eighth
title at Bay Hill with an 8-iron out of a
fairway bunker on the par-5 16th that
easily cleared the water and landed safe-
ly on the green for a two-putt birdie.
Woods dangled his tongue out of his
mouth as the ball was in the air, another
sign of his swagger.
Just like his other two wins this year,
Woods never let anyone get closer than
two shots in the nal round. With a con-
servative bogey he could afford on the
nal hole, he closed with a 2-under 70
for a two-shot win over Justin Rose.
Woods walked off the 18th green
waving his putter over his head truly
a magic wand at Bay Hill to
acknowledge the fans who have seen
this act before. His eighth win in the
Arnold Palmer Invitational tied a PGA
Tour record that had not been touched in
48 years.
This win had extra signicance. Hes
back to No. 1.
If I get healthy, I know I can play this
game at a high level, Woods said. I
know I can be where Im contending in
every event, contending in major cham-
pionships and being consistent day in
and day out if I got healthy. That was
the rst step in the process. Once I got
there, then my game turned.
A year ago, he came to Bay Hill with-
out having won in more than 2 1/2
years. He left this year having won six
times in his last 20 starts on the PGA
Tour.
Next up is the Masters, where Woods
will try to end his ve-year drought in
the majors.
Im really excited about the rest of
this year, Woods said.
Woods fell as low as No. 58 in the
world as he coped with the collapse of
his marriage, a loss of sponsors and
injuries to his left leg. One week after he
announced he was dating Olympic ski
champion Lindsey Vonn, Woods
returned to the top of golf.
Number 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!! Vonn tweeted
moments after his win.
Asked if there was any correlation to
his winning right after going public with
his relationship, Woods smiled and said,
Youre reading way too much into
this.
Like so many other victories, this one
was never really close.
Fowler pulled to within two shots
with a 25-foot birdie putt on the 14th
hole, but after he and Woods made
bogey on the 15th, Fowler went at the
ag on the par-5 16th and came up a few
yards short and into the water.

Tiger Woods salutes the crowd during the nal round of his win at Bay Hill.
By Jon Krawczynski
Florida Gulf Coast was the breakout
star of the weekend, alley-ooping its way
on to the national stage to capture every-
ones attention. You probably watched
the Eagles crash the round of 16 like
everyone else. Well, there were 63 other
teams playing last weekend, too.
La Salle broke through as well.
Bluebloods such as Duke and Michigan
State were big winners as well. So the
next round will have something for
everyone.
Now the Eagles, and the rest of the
country, get to take a deep breath before
we get going again on Thursday. So here
is a look at some of the highs and lows
from a memorable rst weekend.
BEST PLAY: Brett Comer to Chase

Fieler vs. Georgetown. The exclamation
on Florida Gulf Coasts emphatic intro-
duction to the masses. It was brazen not
only for the casual nature with which
Comer ipped the ball practically over
his head to a soaring Fieler, but also in its
timing. The Hoyas were making one nal
charge, down seven points with two min-
utes to play when Comer made a pass
usually reserved for dunk contests. Fieler
threw it down one-handed, and the
Eagles rolled to the victory.
BEST GUTS: Aaron Craft, Ohio
State. The heady point guard made the
play of the game against Iowa State.
Twice. First he stepped in at the last sec-
ond to take a charge, a call that Iowa State
fans will dispute for a long time, as the
Cyclones Will Clyburn was driving for
the go-ahead basket. Then he took, and
made, his only 3-pointer of the game just
before time expired to push the Buckeyes
into the regional seminals, where they
will meet Arizona.
The moments a lot bigger than me,
Craft said. It just happened to be in my
hands at the end.
BEST NEW TEAM: Florida Gulf
Coast. They dont get any newer than the
Eagles, who hail from the beachfront
school in Fort Myers that came into exis-
tence just 16 years ago. Now the school
that is barely old enough to drive a car is
the rst No. 15 in the round of 16.
I feel like were getting a lot of
America behind us, Sherwood Brown
said. I guess you could say were a part
of Americas team at this point.
BEST VILLAIN: Marshall
Henderson, Mississippi. Strutting and
pounding his chest whether the ball
swished through the net or clanked off
the rim, Ole Misss irrepressible
Henderson puts the shooting in shoot-
ing guard. His shot selection was some-
thing out of the Wild West, but his trash
talk was all new school.
Theres no question Marshall Mania
affects the psyche of the other team, Ole
Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. How
can you avoid it? Marshall this, Marshall
that. We live with Marshall Mania. So for
us, its normal, another day at the ofce.
Henderson was able to down
Wisconsin in the round of 64, but La
Salle was undaunted.
BEST CONFERENCE: The Big
Ten. Its been advertised as far and away
the best conference in the country all sea-
son long, and the big boys have backed
up the hype with some exceptional play
in the tournament. Four teams Ohio
State, Indiana, Michigan and Michigan
State are in the regional seminals for
the second straight season. Prior to last
season, the Big Ten hadnt accomplished
that much since 1999. Wisconsin was the
only team in the conference to not win a
game.
BEST REDEMPTION: Oregon.
The Ducks felt slighted by the selection
committee when they were stuck with a
No. 12 seed in the Midwest Region, even
after winning the Pac-12 tournament. All
they did was bludgeon Oklahoma State
and Saint Louis by a combined 30 points
to soar into the round of 16, where they
will play top-seeded Louisville.
We just decided as a team were going
to go out there and we dont care who
were going to play, Oregons Arsalan
Kazemi said.
BEST GAME NEXT ROUND:
Duke vs. Michigan State. Does it get any
better? Two tradition-drenched programs.
Two of the games most successful
coaches in the Spartans Tom Izzo and
the Blue Devils Mike Krzyzewski. No. 2
seed against a No. 3 seed. Can we play
tonight?
WORST PERFORMANCE:
UCLA vs. Minnesota. The sixth-seeded
Bruins delivered a stinker that belies the
programs proud tournament history in a
20-point loss to No. 11 Minnesota in the
South Region. Shabazz Muhammad and
the short-handed Bruins went nearly ve
minutes without scoring a eld goal to
start the game and showed little ght or
inspiration against the Golden Gophers,
who were reeling with three straight loss-
es entering the tournament. The listless
performance was the final straw for
UCLA brass, which red coach Ben
Howland.
WORST ENCORE: VCU vs.
Michigan. The only havoc being brought
in that game was from the Wolverines.
Shaka Smarts Rams pounded Akron in
the opener, winning by 46 points. Smart
strutted out to the court for the game
against Michigan like an amped-up prize
ghter, then watched Trey Burke and the
Wolverines knock his team out in the rst
few minutes. Michigan handled the
Rams vaunted pressure defense with
ease, leading by 30 points in a 78-53 vic-
tory.
11 walks and also hit two batters. El
Camino manager Vic Messer
described his pitchers approach
with two simple words: Wildly
effective.
Thats a quote Ive heard
before, Messer said. We came out
with a game plan. We wanted to
mix speeds. We all know who they
are. They are who they are, but
weve got to pitch to our strengths.
El Camino starter Dante Ordonez
nessed his way through three wild
innings, allowing just two runs (one
earned) despite walking six. Serra
touched Ordonez for both runs in
the rst. Jordan Paroubeck stole
home on a delayed wheel steal after
Mickey McDonald swiped second.
McDonald later scored on Tinsleys
double to give Serra a 2-0 lead.
El Camino answered back in the
second off Serra starter Jordan
Jauregui. Paul Cormican was hit by
a pitch to lead off the inning before
Nick Moisant drilled an RBI double
off the wall in left to cut Serras lead
to 2-1.
In the fourth, Jauregui loaded the
bases before giving way to Serra
reliever Kyle Herminghaus. Two of
those runners would come around to
score of back-to-back RBI singles
by Ordonez and Torres to give El
Camino a 3-2 lead.
Bullpens for both teams
impressed.
Serra right-handers Herminghaus
and Matt Blais combined for seven
shutout innings. Meanwhile, El
Camino senior Steve Pastora
stepped up with his most impressive
outing of the season, throwing four
innings of no-hit ball, surrendering
one run on three walks and two hit
batsmen while striking out six.
Serra touched Pastora for a run in
the fth. Following two walks and a
hit by pitch, Dempsey got drilled
with two outs and the bases loaded
to plate Paul Murray with the tying
run.
After battling into extra innings,
Serra turned to ace Orlando Razo
for two innings of relief. Despite
getting touched for an unearned run
in the 12th, Razo featured his usual
dynamic stuff, fanning all six outs
he recorded. The senior southpaw
notched the win to improve his
record to 3-1. El Camino senior
Dominic Aparicio worked 2 1/3
innings to take the loss. His record
falls to 0-2.
Razo was originally slated to start
Thursdays tournament finale
against St. Marys. Serra manager
Craig Gianinno said its still possi-
ble Razo will take the ball in that
game.
Pregame dedication
Prior to the game, Serra honored
alumnus and former El Camino
manager Carlos Roman, who along
with former Serra manager Pete
Jensen forged the tradition of El
Camino matching up with Serra in
the annual Knights of Columbus
Tournament. The two teams have
played in the tourney every year
since 1985.
Roman was presented with a
plaque in a pregame ceremony, and
threw out the rst pitch. It was the
rst time El Caminos former man-
ager of 29 years has ever thrown out
a rst pitch. It was a perfect strike.
They wanted me to sit in the
both dugouts, but I wasnt all that
comfortable with sitting in either
dugout because I couldnt tell
anybody what to do, Roman said.

MESA, Ariz. Ryan Vogelsong
has one more spring start before tak-
ing his turn in San Franciscos start-
ing rotation early next month when
the regular season opens.
The right-han-
der appears
ready for the
season to start
now after work-
ing six strong
innings to help
lead the Giants
to a 9-3 win over
the Chicago
Cubs on
Monday.
Vogelsongs only goal in his last
start before the season Saturday in
Oakland is simple: Dont get hurt,
he said. Dont take a line drive
back off of something.
Andres Torres and Joaquin Arias
hit two-run doubles, Angel Pagan
drove in two runs and Buster Posey
had three hits, including a two-out
bloop double to drive in Vogelsong
in the fourth.
I still have one more (start),
which Im not going to complain
about, Vogelsong said. But if I
didnt have one more, I would be
ne, too.
George Kontos, Javier Lopez and
closer Sergio Romo each pitched a
scoreless inning in relief of
Vogelsong.
Travis Wood, whose place in the
Cubs starting rotation is set, strug-
gled for the rst time this spring.
Wood, a left-hander who went 6-13
for the Cubs last season, allowed
four runs on seven hits and threw
two wild pitches in his four-inning
outing.
One of those days where it was a
grind at best, Wood said. I didnt
have anywhere close to my best
stuff. Its nice knowing you have
one more (start) instead of just
straight into the season, but even a
day like this is kind of nice, that way
going into the season you know how
it felt.
The Cubs got a run in the third off
Vogelsong on a single, sacrice and
a double by David DeJesus that
Pagan lost in the sun and allowed to
drop in center eld.
Chicago loaded the bases in the
fourth, but third baseman Nick
Noonan made a diving stop of a
grounder hit by Alberto Gonzalez
and threw him out to end the inning.
Noonan, making a late push for a
major-league roster spot, also dou-
bled twice and scored twice.
Dioner Navarro hit a towering
home run to right field off
Vogelsong in the sixth. His 14 RBI
lead the Cubs in spring training.
Reliever Cory Wade allowed four
runs on four hits in two innings, but
Shawn Camp came on and struck
out the side for the Cubs in the
eighth inning.
Notes: Giants 3B Pablo Sandoval
is still dealing with nerve inamma-
tion in his right elbow and continues
to get treatment. He didnt play
Monday, but Bochy said he felt bet-
ter and that Sandoval will throw
lightly in the next couple of days. ...
RHP Tim Lincecum is scheduled to
start Thursday against Oakland in
San Francisco. ... Cubs opening day
starter Jeff Samardzija makes his
last start of spring training Tuesday
against Cincinnati. RHP Scott
Feldman, another starter who will
be in the regular-season rotation,
gets the call on Wednesday against
Kansas City. ... Shawon Dunston, a
former Cub and current Giants
instructor, and his son Shawon
Dunston Jr., a minor-league
prospect in the Cubs organization,
exchanged the lineup cards before
the game and shared an embrace at
home plate.
Vogelsong works 6 innings, Giants win
Ryan Vogelsong
PHOENIX Kyle Lohse is join-
ing Milwaukees pitching staff at
just the right time. It appears the
Brewers can use the help.
Chris Young hit a grand slam and
Josh Donaldson homered among his
four hits as the Oakland Athletics
backed Bartolo Colon with a big
offensive performance in a 9-7 vic-
tory over Milwaukee on Monday.
Brewers starter Chris Narveson
served up Youngs slam in the
fourth. The left-hander allowed six
runs on eight hits in 3 2-3 innings.
Five days after giving up only one
hit in six scoreless innings against
San Francisco, Narveson walked
ve and fell to 1-2 with a 5.50 ERA
this spring.
Asked what the difference was
between Mondays outing and
Narvesons previous start, Brewers
manager Ron Roenicke said:
Command of the ball. He walked
ve people and you cant do that.
His stuff was OK, but he wasnt
consistent with it. He had trouble
getting in rhythm. He would pitch
well to one batter and not so well to
the next two, he added.
Roenicke is looking forward to
adding Lohse to an uncertain rota-
tion. The free-agent right-hander
nalized a $33 million, three-year
contract with Milwaukee on
Monday after going 16-3 with a
2.86 ERA for NL Central rival St.
Louis last season.
The move came exactly a week
before the Brewers open the season
at home against Colorado. Lohse is
expected to pitch Thursday against
the Rockies in a Cactus League
game, though his regular-season
debut for Milwaukee could be
delayed until mid-April as he gets
his arm in shape.
We are better with Lohse,
Roenicke said. I like our other
starters very much, but Lohse is a
special guy.
Scott Sizemore had four hits and
two RBIs for the As. Colon gave up
three runs and six hits over ve
innings in his third start and fth
appearance of the spring. He struck
out three and walked none.
Colon will sit out the rst ve
games of the season while complet-
ing his 50-game suspension for a
positive drug test last year.
He threw all of his pitches and
actually worked on off-speed stuff,
Oakland manager Bob Melvin said.
Young hits slam, Colon goes
five, Athletics beat Brewers

SERRA
of Brandon Butcher of Hillsdale
High School, who went four innings
in shutting down the Aragon offense
for a Peninsula Athletic League
opening win.
Jason Marley showed off a bit of
power this week for Carlmont, along
with teammate Kyle Barret. The
Scots reeled off three wins last week
thanks to them and players like
Johnathan Corvello, Tanner
Westmoreland and Matt Seubert.
The Sequoia offense had a huge
week. They scored half a seasons
worth of runs against Westmoor.
While the entire team contributed,
Tyler Leary (6-for-7, 2 walks, 4
runs, 8 RBIs) denitely stood out.
Kyle Cambron and Cameron
Greenough combined for 10 innings
and 17 strikeouts (only four hits) for
the two wins on the mound.
Menlo School got a big day from
Jack Redman (6 IP, 0 BB, 3 Ks, 4
hits) in a 2-0 win over Redwood
Christian and then a huge afternoon
at the plate by Adam Greenstein (2
hits, 3 RBIs) in a win over
Archbishop Mitty.
Honor Roll long-ball shout-outs
go to Jeremy McIntyre and Eli
Dugan, as well.
In softball, Menlo-Atherton,
behind Emily Katz (7 Ks) picked
up a 15-0 win. The offense for M-A
was led by Erin LaPorte who hit a
home run and a double as part of her
three hits.
Erin Goode also had a home run
and four RBIs to go with 2 hits.
Rebecca Faulkner of Carlmont
was terric in the circle to get the
Scots off to a 2-0 start in league
play. The left-hander struck out 22
in 11 innings of work, allowing just
ve hits and one earned run. She
was also 4-for-6 at the plate with a
pair of RBIs.
Elsewhere, Brooke Bullington
scored seven goals in a Menlo girls
lacrosse win. ... It was an eight-goal
week for Sacred Heart Preps
Caroline Cummings. ... Ian Bennett
of SHP volleyball had a 53-kill
week.
three runs to lead a 24-run scoring
output by the Knights to start league
play.
He was also a steady, consistent
force behind the plate something
Hillsdale desperately needed in
Game 1 against the Dons.
For his efforts, Poss is the Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.
I had a good feeling that we
would come in and contribute right
there in the middle (of the lineup),
said Hillsdale manager Neal
Donohoe of his expectations for
Poss heading into this season. He
gets a lot of walks. He takes a lot of
pitches, doesnt strikeout much. So,
he was denitely someone we were
counting on. Hopefully, hell con-
tinue to produce for us.
All signs point to Poss being able
to do just that. Through 12 games,
No. 32 has only struck out six times
and has at least one hit in every
game except the season-opener
against Mountain View.
Im just condent, Poss said.
Ive been working with coach
Donohoe trying to work on my
swing. So, a lot of condence has
been instilled in me. I got in the 3-
hole and was condent in what I can
do put the ball in play.
Its been quite the breakout season
so far for Poss, who hit just .200 as
a sophomore. But No. 32 made the
most of his sophomore season on
varsity soaking up as much
knowledge as he could from his
experiences at the plate.
It denitely helped to have a
whole year of varsity experience
under my belt, Poss said. So now
I know what to expect. Im more
condent at the plate, not as timid as
I was as a sophomore.
I was a little pull-happy last year.
I was trying to hit the ball too hard.
This year, Ive stayed condent in
my swing, condent in my hands.
Thats pretty much been my
approach go right back up the
middle because thats where I nd
more consistency.
He doesnt strike out much,
Poss said. He puts the ball in play.
We like to try to get our top three
hitters up in the rst inning so, right
away, hes on at top of our lineup.
Hes one of our best three hitters.
It isnt just a hitting thing for Poss
in 2013. Hillsdale has talent on the
pitching staff but its young tal-
ent, susceptible to emotional incon-
sistencies. No. 32 has done his best
to steady those nerves.
Hes one of the most baseball
savvy kids Ive ever coached,
Donohoe said. He knows when to
go out and talk to guys. Calm them
down. What to say to them. He just
stays so positive with the pitchers.
Youll even see him go out there,
give the pitcher a smile, talk to him,
try to calm him down and quickly
turn out and tell me to get him out of
the game because he doesnt have it.
He really understands the game
well.
We have a pretty good staff this
year, Poss said, a pretty young
staff. And its been really good to
work with them because, they know
what they need to do and I know
what I need from them. It really
helps to have a year of varsity expe-
rience, especially with this young
staff. Theyre eager. Theyre hungry
for more innings. Its made my job
of receiving pitches and managing
them a lot easier.

Sean Watkins picked up the win
with four innings of one-hit ball to
stabilize the pitching staff and
enable the Padres offense to com-
plete the comeback. The Padres
offense was led by Jordan
Paroubeck, who was 2 for 4 with
three RBIs, and Mickey McDonald,
who was 2 for 3 with two runs
driven in. Paroubeck and Christian
Conci each hit a home run during
Serras six-run third Paroubeck
a three-run bomb and Conci adding
a two-run shot. McDonald came up
with the game winner with a two-
run double in the fth.
The win was made even bigger
by the fact the Padres had dropped
a disappointing 2-1 loss to Mitty
earlier in the week. The win over
St. Francis moves the Padres into a
three-way tie atop the WCAL
standings, along with the Lancers
and Valley Christian, who are all 4-
1 in league play.

Dont look now, but the Terra
Nova baseball team is off to a fabu-
lous start to the 2013 season.
Following a two-game sweep of
Capuchino last week, not only are
the Tigers tied atop the Peninsula
Athletic Leagues Bay Division
standings with Carlmont and
Hillsdale, they are undefeated over-
all at a perfect 9-0.
As a team, the Tigers are batting
.384, which is good for third in the
CCS, according to Max Preps, and
are averaging over seven runs per
game. The Tigers are led by senior
Vic Guillera, who is batting .522.
Sophomore Anthony Gordon has
been a revelation thus far, batting
.400, with four extra-base hits
among his 10 hits and is tied for
the team lead in RBIs with seven.
Just as important, the Terra Nova
pitching staff has been on point.
The Tigers have a team ERA of
1.15, which is also good for third
in CCS, according to Max Preps.
And its a pair of sophomores
leading the way on the bump.
Gordon is 2-0 in ve appearances
and has yet to allow a run. Ray
Falk has been just as good. Hes 3-
0 with a 0.32 ERA. Hes allowed
just one run in 22 innings, has
walked just one and has struck out
a whopping 23 batters.
Anchoring the rotation is senior
Julius Raval, who is also 3-0 with
an ERA of 2.88.
***
As a whole, the PALs Bay
Division is showing that San Mateo
County public schools can play
some baseball. Of the eight teams
in the division, seven of them have
winning records. Overall, the Bay
Division has a combined record of
59-25.
Conversely, the Ocean Division
does not have one team with a win-
ning record.

stop on a ve-game trip.
Emerson Etem scored his second career
goal and Francois Beauchemin also scored for
the Ducks, who wrapped up a string of ve
home games in eight days with their rst
three-game skid of the season.
Corey Perry scored for Anaheim with 1:40
to play, but Dan Boyle scored on an empty net
with 28 seconds left.
Antti Niemi stopped 24 shots for the road-
weary Sharks, who begin a seven-game home-
stand Wednesday against Anaheim needing a
strong push to make the playoffs for the 14th
time in 15 seasons.
Viktor Fasth made 34 saves for the Ducks,
who have hit the rst skid in their remarkable
season.
The Ducks have followed up their tri-
umphant win over NHL-leading Chicago last
Wednesday with three consecutive losses,
including back-to-back defeats from Detroit
by a combined 7-2 over the previous three
days. Anaheim had won a franchise-record 13
straight home games before its current slump.
Teemu Selanne didnt score while appear-
ing in his 1,373rd NHL game, surpassing
Teppo Numminens record for Finnish play-
ers.
OAKLAND Stephen Curry had 25
points, 10 assists and seven rebounds on a
sprained right ankle, and the Golden State
Warriors held off the Los Angeles Lakers 109-
103 on Monday night.
David Lee added 23 points and 12
rebounds, and Klay Thompson scored 22
points to propel the Warriors to a 25-point
lead early in the third quarter in a matchup
with huge playoff implications. Golden State
(41-31) improved to a game ahead of idle
Houston (39-31) and 4 1/2 games in front of
the Lakers (36-35) for sixth place in the
Western Conference.
Los Angeles lead over Utah (35-36) for the
nal playoff spot is down to one game. The
Jazz beat Philadelphia 107-91 in Salt Lake
City earlier Monday night.
Kobe Bryant scored 36 points and Steve
Nash had 21 points, nine rebounds and seven
assists in an otherwise lackluster Lakers
effort. Los Angeles has lost three straight
games, and the latest was never even close.
Questionable to play since spraining his
twice surgically repaired ankle in Saturdays
victory over Washington, Curry sat out the
morning shootaround and often grimaced dur-
ing a pregame workout at the arena. Warriors
coach Mark Jackson called Curry a game-
time decision, though Lakers coach Mike
DAntoni never doubted Curry would play
or play well.
With the dynamic point guard leading the
way, the Warriors received contributions from
all over.
Thompson hit three of his six 3-pointers in
the rst quarter, and Curry made another one.
Festus Ezeli added an alley-oop from Jarrett
Jack and put back a miss to give Golden State
a 28-14 lead.

short speech to about 500 in attendance.
I think dad is extremely ecstatic and is
looking on with great delight, Tillemann-
Dick told the Daily Journal. Its a tribute
to those people who have persisted.
She wasnt the only one crying, howev-
er, as Moss Beach resident Zoe Kersteen-
Tucker also shed a tear yesterday as she
shared her story about the citizen-led ini-
tiative that brought the tunnels to life.
She, along with Lennie Roberts and
April Vargas, were praised repeatedly yes-
terday for leading a grassroots effort to
push the state Department of
Transportation away from constructing a
new highway over the mountain.
U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer was also
praised for getting the stretch of highway
deemed a continuing federal emergency,
which helped secure more funding for the
project.
It was a chilly morning yesterday but not
too cold for some people to dress in cos-
tume for the occasion. One woman wore a
red and yellow mask and cape and called
herself Captain Tunnel and another fellow
dressed as the devil who later would be
seen riding in a vintage car in a parade
through the south tunnel.
Soon, the slide itself will close and be
transformed into a county park with trails.
This is going to preserve one of the
nicest areas on the California coast, said
Don Horsley, president of the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors.
The new tunnels will hopefully bring
more tourists to the coast, said Half Moon
Bay Mayor Rick Kowalczyk, who was
shivering in the cold as he spoke.
The chamber wants to remind us that
just a few miles south it is sunny and 77
degrees, he said as a thin blanket of fog
blocked out the sun.
Half Moon Bay Vice Mayor John
Muller was also in attendance and wore a
special tie for the occasion.
It was one Tom Lantos gave to him 27
years ago as Muller visited his congres-
sional ofce in Washington, D.C.
Muller never wore the tie until yester-
day.
He was so gracious, Muller said about
Lantos. I have special memories of Tom
and this is one more.
Many spoke at yesterdays ceremony
including U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San
Mateo, U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo
Alto, state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San
Francisco, state. Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, and Assemblyman Kevin Mullin,
D-South San Francisco.
Its a testament to the power of the bal-
lot, Speier said about the passage of
Measure T in 1996.
The new park will also give Pacica a
new tourist attraction, Speier said.
Each of the twin 4,200-foot-long tunnels
is about 45 feet tall and just under 30 feet
wide. The debris from the tunnels lled a
disposal site equivalent the size of a foot-
ball eld, 150 feet deep and Caltrans
essentially constructed a new mountain on
the south side of the tunnels with all the
debris where a maintenance center will be
hidden away from view.
The project is at least a year behind
schedule and $100 million over budget but
Pacica resident Mike Mooney told the
Daily Journal that the cost will soon be
forgotten.
The new county park will provide one of
the most stunning views of the Pacic
Ocean anywhere in the world, said
Pacica Mayor Len Stone, who was a
teenager when Measure T passed.
He praised the concerned citizens who
turned into advocates to help preserve
Montara Mountain by pushing for a tun-
nel.
Hallelujah. This day is nally here,
Stone said to a cheering crowd.
The ceremony ended with a parade fea-
turing vintage cars led by a Model-T with
a license plate that reads THNK TNL.

HEALTH 17
By Marilynn Marchione
SAN FRANCISCO Have a heart prob-
lem? If its xable, theres a good chance it can
be done without surgery, using tiny tools and
devices that are pushed through tubes into blood
vessels.
Heart care is in the midst of a transformation.
Many problems that once required sawing
through the breastbone and opening up the
chest for open heart surgery now can be treated
with a nip, twist or patch through a tube.
These minimal procedures used to be done
just to unclog arteries and correct less common
heart rhythm problems. Now some patients are
getting such repairs for valves, irregular heart-
beats, holes in the heart and other defects
without major surgery. Doctors even are testing
ways to treat high blood pressure with some of
these new approaches.
All rely on catheters hollow tubes that let
doctors burn away and reshape heart tissue or
correct defects through small holes in blood
vessels.
This is the replacement for the surgeons
knife. Instead of opening the chest, were able
to put catheters in through the leg, sometimes
through the arm, said Dr. Spencer King of St.
Josephs Heart and Vascular Institute in Atlanta.
He is former president of the American College
of Cardiology. Its conference earlier this month
featured research on these novel devices.
Many patients after having this kind of pro-
cedure in a day or two can go home rather than
staying in the hospital while a big wound heals,
he said. It may lead to cheaper treatment,
although the initial cost of the novel devices
often offsets the savings from shorter hospital
stays.
Not everyone can have catheter treatment,
and some promising devices have hit snags in
testing. Others on the market now are so new
that it will take several years to see if their
results last as long as the benets from surgery
do.
But already, these procedures have allowed
many people too old or frail for an operation to
get help for problems that otherwise would like-
ly kill them.
You can do these on 90-year-old patients,
King said.
These methods also offer an option for people
who cannot tolerate long-term use of blood
thinners or other drugs to manage their condi-
tions, or who dont get enough help from these
medicines and are getting worse.
Its opened up a whole new eld, said Dr.
Hadley Wilson, cardiology chief at Carolinas
HealthCare System in Charlotte. We can hope-
fully treat more patients more denitively, with
better results.
For patients, this is crucial: Make sure you are
evaluated by a heart team that includes a sur-
geon as well as other specialists who do less
invasive treatments. Many patients now get
whatever treatment is offered by whatever spe-
cialist they are sent to, and those specialists
sometimes are rivals.
We want to get away from that and do
whatever is best for the patient, said Dr.
Timothy Gardner, a surgeon at Christiana Care
Health System in Newark, Del., and an
American Heart Association spokesman.
There shouldnt be a rivalry in the eld.
Here are some common problems and newer
treatments for them:
HEART VALVES
Millions of people have leaky heart valves.
Each year, more than 100,000 people in the
United States alone have surgery for them. A
common one is the aortic valve, the hearts main
gate. It can stiffen and narrow, making the heart
strain to push blood through it. Without a valve
replacement operation, half of these patients die
within two years, yet many are too weak to have
one.
Essentially, this was a death sentence, said
Dr. John Harold, a Los Angeles heart specialist
who is president of the College of Cardiology.
That changed just over a year ago, when
Edwards Lifesciences Corp. won approval to sell
an articial aortic valve exible and small
enough to t into a catheter and wedged inside
the bad one. At rst it was just for inoperable
patients. Last fall, use was expanded to include
people able to have surgery but at high risk of
complications.
Gary Verwer, 76, of Napa had a bypass opera-
tion in 1988 that made surgery too risky when he
later developed trouble with his aortic valve.
It was getting worse every day. I couldnt
walk from my bed to my bathroom without hav-
ing to sit down and rest, he said. After getting a
new valve through a catheter last April at
Stanford University, everything changed; it was
almost immediate, he said. Now I can walk
almost three miles a day and enjoy it. Im not
tired at all.
The chest cracking part is not the most fun,
he said of his earlier bypass surgery. It was a
great relief not to have to go through that recov-
ery again.
Catheter-based treatments for other valves also
are in testing. One for the mitral valve Abbott
Laboratories MitraClip had a mixed review
by federal Food and Drug Administration advis-
ers this week; whether it will win FDA approval
is unclear. It is already sold in Europe.
HEART RHYTHM PROBLEMS
Catheters can contain tools to vaporize or
ablate bits of heart tissue that cause abnormal
Heart repair breakthroughs replace surgeons knife
Some patients are getting treated for valves,irregular heartbeats,holes in the heart and other
defects without major surgery.Doctors even are testing ways to treat high blood pressure
with some of these new approaches.

signals that control the heartbeat. This
used to be done only for some serious or
relatively rare problems, or surgically if a
patient was having an operation for anoth-
er heart issue.
Now catheter ablation is being used for
the most common rhythm problem
atrial brillation, which plagues about 3
million Americans and 15 million people
worldwide. The upper chambers of the
heart quiver or beat too fast or too slow.
That lets blood pool in a small pouch off
one of these chambers. Clots can form in
the pouch and travel to the brain, causing
a stroke.
Ablation addresses the underlying
rhythm problem. To address the stroke
risk from pooled blood, several novel
devices aim to plug or seal off the pouch.
Only one has approval in the U.S. now
SentreHeart Inc.s Lariat, a tiny lasso to
cinch the pouch shut. It uses two catheters
that act like chopsticks. One goes through
a blood vessel and into the pouch to help
guide placement of the device, which is
contained in a second catheter poked
under the ribs to the outside of the heart. A
loop is released to circle the top of the
pouch where it meets the heart, sealing off
the pouch.
A different kind of device Boston
Scientic Corp.s Watchman is sold in
Europe and parts of Asia, but is pending
before the FDA in the U.S. Its like a tiny
umbrella pushed through a vein and then
opened inside the heart to plug the trou-
blesome pouch. Early results from a piv-
otal study released by the company sug-
gested it would miss a key goal, making
its future in the U.S. uncertain.
HEART DEFECTS
Some people have a hole in a heart wall
called an atrial septal defect that causes
abnormal blood ow. St. Jude Medical
Inc.s Amplatzer is a fabric-mesh patch
threaded through catheters to plug the
hole.
The patch is also being tested for a more
common defect PFO, a hole that results
when the heart wall doesnt seal the way it
should after birth. This can raise the risk
of stroke. In two new studies, the device
did not meet the main goal of lowering the
risk of repeat strokes in people who had
already suffered one, but some doctors
were encouraged by other results.

WASHINGTON We know a lot about
how babies learn to talk, and youngsters learn
to read. Now scientists are unraveling the ear-
liest building blocks of math and what
children know about numbers as they begin
rst grade seems to play a big role in how well
they do everyday calculations later on.
The ndings have specialists considering
steps that parents might take to spur math
abilities, just like they do to try to raise a good
reader.
This isnt only about trying to improve the
nations math scores and attract kids to
become engineers. Its far more basic.
Consider: How rapidly can you calculate a
tip? Do the fractions to double a recipe?
Know how many quarters and dimes the
cashier should hand back as your change?
About 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. lacks the
math competence expected of a middle-
schooler, meaning they have trouble with
those ordinary tasks and arent qualied for
many of todays jobs.
Its not just, can you do well in school? Its
how well can you do in your life, says Dr.
Kathy Mann Koepke of the National Institutes
of Health, which is funding much of this
research into math cognition. We are in the
midst of math all the time.
A new study shows trouble can start
early.
University of Missouri researchers
tested 180 seventh-graders. Those
who lagged behind their peers in a
test of core math skills needed to
function as adults were the same kids
whod had the least number sense
or uency way back when they
started rst grade.
The gap they started with,
they dont close it,
says Dr. David Geary,
a cognitive psy-
c h o l o g i s t
who leads
the study that is tracking children from
kindergarten to high school in the Columbia,
Mo., school system. Theyre not catching
up to the kids who started ahead.
If rst grade sounds pretty young to be pre-
dicting math ability, well, no one expects tots
to be scribbling sums. But this number sense,
or what Geary more precisely terms number
system knowledge, turns out to be a
fundamental skill that students con-
tinually build on, much more than
the simple ability to count.
Whats involved? Understanding
that numbers represent different
quantities that three dots is the
same as the numeral 3 or the
word three. Grasping magni-
tude that 23 is bigger than
17. Getting the concept that
numbers can be broken into
parts that 5 is the same
as 2 and 3, or 4 and 1.
Showing on a
number line
that the difference between 10 and 12 is the
same as the difference between 20 and 22.
Factors such as IQ and attention span didnt
explain why some rst-graders did better than
others. Now Geary is studying if something
that youngsters learn in preschool offers an
advantage.
Theres other evidence that math matters
early in life. Numerous studies with young
babies and a variety of animals show that a
related ability to estimate numbers without
counting is intuitive, sort of hard-wired in
the brain, says Mann Koepke, of NIHs
National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development. Thats the ability that lets you
choose the shortest grocery check-out line at a
glance, or that guides a bird to the bush with
the most berries.
Number system knowledge is more sophis-
ticated, and the Missouri study shows chil-
dren who start elementary school without
those concepts seem to struggle enormous-
ly, says Mann Koepke, who wasnt part of
that research.
Early number sense plays role in later math skills

WASHINGTON Whether it means open-
ing school track meets to deaf children or
developing a new lunch menu with safe alter-
natives for students with food allergies, recent
Obama administration deci-
sions could significantly
affect Americans with dis-
abilities. But theres been
little progress in one of
the most stubborn chal-
lenges: employing
the disabled.
According to government labor data, of the
29 million working-age Americans with a dis-
ability those who are 16 years and older
5.2 million are employed. Thats 18 percent of
the disabled population and is down from 20
percent four years ago. The employment rate
for people without a disability was 63 percent
in February.
The job numbers for the disabled havent
budged much since the passage of the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990,
which gave millions of disabled people civil
rights protections and guaranteed equal oppor-
tunity in employment, public accommoda-
tions, transportation, government services and
more.
The National Council on Disabilitys Jeff
Rosen said longstanding prejudicial attitudes
need to be addressed to boost jobs.
Employers are still catching on to the fact
that the needs of most workers with disabili-
ties arent special, but employees with disabil-
ities often bring specialized skills
to the workplace, Rosen said.
Perhaps no one knows how to
adapt, think critically or nd
solutions better than someone
who has to do so daily in
order to navigate a world
that wasnt built with them
in mind.
Rosen, who is
deaf, was
named in
J anuar y
as chair-
man of the
council, an independent federal agency that
advises the president, Congress and other fed-
eral agencies on disability policy.
The Obama administration recently has
acted to expand the rights of Americans with
disabilities in other areas.
The Education Departments civil rights
division released new guidelines that direct
schools to provide students with disabilities
equal access to extracurricular sports teams. If
schools cant, they should create similar ath-
letic programs for disabled children, the
department said.
Also, the Justice Department said in a settle-
ment with a Massachusetts college, Lesley
University, that severe food allergies can be
considered a disability under the law. That
potentially could lead to new menus and
accommodations at schools, restaurants and
other places to address the needs of people
with food allergies.
One silver lining in the lagging employment
for the disabled has been federal hiring.
The latest data from the U.S. Ofce of
Personnel Management shows nearly 15 per-
cent of new federal hires between 2010 and
2011 were people with disabilities almost
19,000 people. Thats up from the previous
year when about 10 percent of new hires were
people with disabilities.
President Barack Obama signed an execu-
tive order in 2010 aimed at improving the fed-
eral ranks of people with disabilities. The goal
was to add 100,000 disabled people to federal
payrolls in ve years; that would be within
reach if the 2010-2011 hiring numbers were to
stick or improve.
Federal agencies are trying to achieve the
numbers through better recruitment, especial-
ly at colleges and universities. And last month,
OPM issued rules to limit the paperwork that
potential hires with disabilities would need to
provide. They essentially self-identify as
disabled by qualifying for a special hiring cat-
egory known as Schedule A that allows dis-
abled people to apply for a job through a non-
competitive hiring process, meaning they
could be hired without competing with the
general public.
The administration also is considering new
rules that would leverage the power of federal
spending to encourage companies to hire more
disabled workers. The Labor Department is
weighing a rule that would require companies
with federal contracts to set a goal of having at
least 7 percent of their workforce be disabled.
Federal contractors employ nearly one-quarter
of the nations workforce.
Since the rule was proposed more than a
year ago, business groups have complained
that it would be too burdensome and lead to
conicts with federal laws that discourage
companies from asking job applicants to iden-
tify themselves as disabled.

rent term expires in November. There
are generally two options for lling
such a vacancy: appointing a person to
ll the remainder of the term or holding
a special election, which comes at an
additional cost to the district. Schwartz
estimated the board would discuss the
options in late April.
Since the new election system is a big
change, the board decided to delay that
vote until after the vacancy is lled to
allow the new trustee to weigh in.
The district oversees three colleges
and serves more than 40,000 students
annually. Trustees for the ve-member
board are not required to live within a
certain geographic area or district. The
districts five trustees are currently
elected by voters countywide.
Previously, the district was advised by
state chancellors to look at the way local
elections are set up. In recent months,
the board held public hearings on the
matter and offered a 90-day comment
period on the proposed boundaries.
Now the district is considering changing
to electing representatives by district. If
approved locally, the proposed election
changes would go before the California
Community Colleges Board of
Governors for the nal OK to be issued
this November.
Using that timeline, current trustees
would nish out their terms but those
with terms ending in 2013 would need
to live within the new districts to seek
re-election. This year, representatives
from areas 1 and 2 would be elected. In
2015, representatives from areas 3, 4
and 5 would be elected, according to the
proposal before the board.
Heres what the proposed boundaries
would include: Area 1 Daly City,
Colma, Brisbane and parts of South San
Francisco; Area 2 San Bruno,
Millbrae, Pacica and portions of both
Hillsborough and South San Francisco;
Area 3 Burlingame, San Mateo and
portions of Hillsborough; Area 4 San
Carlos, Menlo Park east of Highway
101, East Palo Alto and most of
Redwood City; and Area 5 the coast-
side south of Pacifica, Woodside,
Portola Valley, Atherton, Foster City,
Belmont and a portion of Redwood
Shores.
The differences in the two systems are
primarily how many voters a candidate
needs to convince and how much money
it will cost to run. At-large elections ask
voters to choose board members to rep-
resent the entire county instead of just
the district from which they are elected.
The California Voting Rights Act allows
challenges from any voter for at-large
election. Not changing could open the
district up to such a lawsuit.

the prosecutor referred to him as a
felon during her closing argument to
jurors. On Monday, a new trial date of
June 3 was set, said Chief Deputy
District Attorney Karen Guidotti.
Bringazi, who was previously con-
victed for repeatedly having sex with an
inebriated teenager, is charged with hav-
ing intercourse with the drunk 15-year-
old sister of his roommates girlfriend.
He is charged with a lewd act against a
child more than 10 years younger and
unlawful sexual intercourse. Bringazis
former attorney Tom Deremegio
announced three days into trial he had
an irreconcilable conict and could no
longer represent his client. Attorney
Steve Whitworth was since retained as
the defense attorney.
Prosecutors say Bringazi, then 25, had
sex with the Oregon teen on Aug. 24,
2010 when she came with her half-sister
to visit family. Bringazi was a room-
mate of the sisters boyfriend and the
girls reportedly stayed with them. On
the night in question, Bringazi pres-
sured the girl to have a beer during a
drinking game before having sex with
her in his room, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
The next day, the girl allegedly
refused further advances and Bringazi
kicked her and the sister out of the
apartment. The roommate contacted
authorities, according to prosecutors.
At the time, Bringazi was on parole
for multiple Santa Clara County convic-
tions of using a minor to produce
obscene material and penetration of a
minor using a foreign object.
While awaiting a new trial date,
Bringazi is accused of assaulting a cor-
rectional ofcer while trying to remove
a T-shirt illegally covering the mans jail
cell light.
The alleged jail attack happened just
after 10 a.m. Oct. 16 when the ofcer
passed out lunches in the maximum
security unit housing Bringazi. When
the ofcer stepped inside Bringazis cell
to remove a T-shirt and towel covering
the light in violation of jail policy,
Bringazi responded, You are going to
have to make me and blocked him
from leaving, according to prosecutors.
The two ultimately fought until the of-
cer got assistance and Bringazi report-
edly later told an intake sergeant the
ofcer was waiting to attack him over a
written grievance made a few months
previous.
Bringazi is out of custody on
$100,000 bail.

Its just not possible, said Fred Sainz
a spokesman for the Human Rights
Campaign, the nations largest gay rights
organization, which began employing
two people to stand in line Thursday.
The court will hear arguments
Tuesday over Californias ban on same-
sex marriage. On Wednesday, the court
will take up the federal Defense of
Marriage Act, the 1996 federal law that
denes marriage as between one man
and one woman. Supporters and oppo-
nents of same-sex marriage say the cases
are so potentially historic that they want
to be inside the courtroom to watch, no
matter what the cost in time or money.
Part of the reason the seats are so cov-
eted is the court doesnt allow TV broad-
casts of its arguments, so coming in per-
son is the only way to see the justices at
work. The court has said it will release
transcripts of the hearings as well as
audio recordings roughly two hours after
each case ends, but advocates say thats
no substitute for being there.
Seats, meanwhile, are at a premium
because there arent that many. The
courtroom seats about 500 people, but
seats are reserved for court staff, jour-
nalists and guests of the justices and
lawyers arguing the case. After those
people are seated, there will be about
100 seats Tuesday for lawyers who are
members of the Supreme Court bar and
at least 60 seats for the general public.
An additional 30 seats for the public will
rotate every three to five minutes.
Tickets for all those seats are handed out
on a rst come, rst served basis.
For the most controversial cases, the
line to get those tickets can start to form
about a day before. When the court
heard three days of arguments on health
care last year, the rst people arrived
three days early.
This time, the line started even earlier.
By Monday morning there were more
than three dozen people waiting, even as
snow was falling. Several in the line said
they were being paid, while others
included college students and a substi-
tute teacher. People in line said they
passed the time talking and reading.
There were games of cards and at one
point people watched the television
show The West Wing on one persons
computer. Those waiting said theyd
made friends, and they traded watching
each others chairs and sleeping bags to
go for bathroom breaks or coffee. On
Monday morning, one man came around
offering others doughnuts.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Robert Allen Martin
Case Number: 123130
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Robert Allen Martin. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by Li-
sa Jeanine Damestoy Effandi in the Su-
perior Court of California, County of San
Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests
that Lisa Jeanine Damestoy Effandi be
appointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests that the decedents
will and codicils, if any, be admitted to
probate. The will and any codicils are
available for examination in the file kept
by the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster 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 to 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: April 10, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. Probate, Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in

person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing 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 ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

KABUL Eager to overcome a
bout of bickering, U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerry and Afghan
President Hamid Karzai made a
show of unusual unity between their
two nations on Monday. The friend-
ly display came as the U.S. military
ceded control of its last detention
facility in Afghanistan, ending a
longstanding irritant in relations.
Kerry arrived in the Afghan capi-
tal of Kabul on an unannounced
visit amid concerns that Karzai may
be jeopardizing progress in the war
against extremism with anti-
American rhetoric. After a private
meeting, Kerry said he and Karzai
were on the same page on securi-
ty and reconciliation issues and
brushed aside suggestions that rela-
tions were in peril.
Karzai infuriated U.S. officials
earlier this month by accusing
Washington of colluding with
Taliban insurgents to keep
Afghanistan weak even as the
Obama administration pressed
ahead with plans to hand off securi-
ty responsibility to Afghan forces
and end NATOs combat mission by
the end of next year.
At a joint news conference after
their talks, Karzai told reporters that
his comments in a nationally tele-
vised speech had been misinterpret-
ed by the media. Kerry demurred on
that point but said people some-
times say things in public that
reect ideas they have heard from
others but dont necessarily agree
with.
I am confident the president
(Karzai) does not believe the U.S.
has any interest except to see the
Taliban come to the table to make
peace and that we are completely
cooperative with the government of
Afghanistan with respect to the pro-
tection of their efforts and their peo-
ple, Kerry said. He noted that he
had specically raised the comment
in question with Karzai and was sat-
ised with the response.
Were on the same page, Kerry
said. I dont think there is any dis-
agreement between us and I am
very, very comfortable with the
presidents explanation.
For his part, Karzai said that he
had been trying to make the point in
his speech that if the Taliban really
wanted foreign troops out of
Afghanistan they should stop killing
people.
In the March 9 speech, he berated
the Taliban for deadly bombings in
Kabul and the city of Khost that he
said showed that they are at the
service of America and at the serv-
ice of this phrase: 2014, the
withdrawal date set for most inter-
national forces.
Karzai suggested in the speech
that the U.S. and the Taliban were
working together trying to frighten
us into thinking that if the foreign-
ers are not in Afghanistan, we
would be facing these sorts of inci-
dents.
Standing beside Kerry on
Monday, Karzai said today was a
very good day, citing the turnover
of the detention facility at the U.S.-
run Bagram military base north of
Kabul. He also expressed gratitude
for the sacrices made for his coun-
try by Americans.
At the same time, he defended
allegations he has made about
American troops or their local con-
tractors abusing Afghan civilians.
He said his complaints and criticism
were not meant to offend anyone
but rather to protect his people.
When I say something publicly,
it is not meant to offend our allies
but to correct the situation, he said.
I am responsible for the protection
of the Afghan people. I am the pres-
ident of this country. It is my job to
provide all the protection I can to
the people of this country.
Karzai has ordered U.S. special
operations forces out of Wardak
province, just outside Kabul,
because of allegations that Afghans
working with the commandos were
involved in abusive behavior.

WASHINGTON The United
States is training secular Syrian
ghters in Jordan in a bid to bolster
forces battling President Bashar
Assads regime and stem the inu-
ence of Islamist radicals among the
countrys persistently splintered
opposition, American and foreign
ofcials said.
The training has been conducted
for several months now in an
unspecied location, concentrating
largely on Sunnis and tribal
Bedouins who formerly served as
members of the Syrian army, of-
cials told The Associated Press. The
forces arent members of the lead-
ing rebel group, the Free Syrian
Army, which Washington and oth-
ers fear may be increasingly coming
under the sway of extremist militia
groups, including some linked to al-
Qaida, they said.
The operation is being run by
U.S. intelligence and is ongoing,
officials said, but those in
Washington stressed that the U.S. is
providing only nonlethal aid at this
point. Others such as Britain and
France are involved, they said,
though its unclear whether any
Western governments are providing
materiel or other direct military sup-
port after two years of civil war that
according to the United Nations
already has killed more than 70,000
people.
The ofcials spoke on condition
of anonymity because they werent
authorized to speak publicly about
the program.
Ofcially, the Obama administra-
tion has been vague on the subject
of what type of military training it
may be providing, while insisting
that it is doing all it can short of
providing weapons to the rebels or
engaging in its own military inter-
vention to hasten the demise of
the Assad familys four-decade dic-
tatorship.
White House spokesman Josh
Earnest said Monday the U.S. has
provided some logistical nonlethal
support that has also come in handy
for the Syrian rebels who are, again,
ghting a regime that is not hesitat-
ing to use the military might of that
regime against its own people.
That is something were going to
continue to work to bring to an
end, he told reporters.
Its unclear what effect the train-
ing has had in the conict, which
has become a quagmire with
Assads regime unable to snuff out
the rebellion and Syrias opposition
incapable thus far of delivering any
serious blow to the ruling govern-
ments grip on Damascus and con-
trol over much of the country.
