SAN FRANCISCO Steven
Spriggs was stopped in a trafc jam
near downtown Fresno and thought
nothing of whipping out his iPhone
4 and clicking on the map feature to
see if there was an alternate route
around the construction mess.
He was startled when he looked
up and saw a California Highway
Patrol motorcycle ofcer ordering
him to pull over. He showed the
ofcer that he was looking at a map
and not texting or talking.
Pull over, Spriggs recalled the
officer as saying. Its in your
hand.
A little more than a year later,
Spriggs is at the heart of a novel
court case that has technology blogs
and social media sites buzzing
about the $160 ticket plus court
costs he was ordered to pay for dis-
tracted driving.
A court commissioner and then a
three-judge appellate panel of the
Superior Court found Spriggs guilty
of violating a California law that
bans motorists from texting or con-
ducting phone conversations with
hand-held devices.
The judges rejected
Spriggs argument that
they were expanding
the law by refusing
to toss out the
ticket he got in
January 2012.
Spriggs, who
graduated from
law school but is
not a practicing attor-
ney, represented himself
before the commissioner
and then the appeals
panel. He initially
brought a paper
map to court to
argue that it was
legal to hold it
while driving. Not
persuaded, the traffic
court commissioner found
him guilty.
Next, he appealed to the
three-judge panel of Fresno
Superior Court, arguing in a legal
brief that the iPhone has a ashlight
feature and other functions that can
be useful to a driver and arent as
dangerous as texting or talking.
That hearing last all of 30 seconds
because no one from the CHP or
district attorneys ofce appeared to
oppose the appeal by Spriggs.
He still lost.
Fresno County Judge Kent
Hamlin, writing on March 21 for
the three-judge panel upholding the
commissioners ruling, said the
primary evil sought to be avoided is

The Belmont City Council will
have a second chance tonight to
decide whether the best way to pro-
tect the citys aging sewer system is
requiring mandatory inspections
and repairs of the laterals as a home
is being sold.
The point-of-sale mandate pro-
posed by the citys Public Works
Department, already in effect in sev-
eral other local cities due to a court
decision, was discussed by the
council at length back in January
before it voted to continue the item
until tonight.
The issue is whether a homeown-
er should have to disclose to a
potential buyer that there could be
problems with the sewer lateral and
then who should pay for the x.
Realtors are opposed to the plan,
saying it will kill the sale of the
home.
Sewer laterals are the under-
ground pipes that connect a resi-
dence or business to the main sewer
line. Maintenance of sewer laterals
is the responsibility of the property
owner in Belmont.
Fixing a sewer lateral could cost
between $7,500 and $25,000. If the
property owner cannot pay the bill
or negotiate with the buyer to split
the cost, the transaction could die,
according to the San Mateo County
Association of Realtors.
The city aims to reduce the inow
and inltration from private sewer

change in the permitting process
that goes before the City Council
tonight.
In February, the San Bruno City
Council discussed gun regulations
proposed nationally, in California
and in nearby cities. While there
were numerous questions, the coun-
cil generally supported state and
national efforts and asked staff to
come back with more information
about a variety of ideas from creat-
ing a permit system for San Bruno

Montana pet owner to
feds: The dog ate my money
HELENA, Mont. A Montana man
whose 12-year-old golden retriever ate
ve $100 bills hopes to be reimbursed
by the federal government.
Wayne Klinkel tells the Independent
Record that his dog Sundance ate the
bills while he and his wife were on a
road trip to visit their daughter.
Klinkel says he carefully picked
through the dogs droppings, and his
daughter recovered more when snow
melted.
He says he washed the remnants of the
bills and taped them together and sent
them to the Treasury Departments
Bureau of Engraving and Printing with
an explanation of what happened.
The bureaus website says an experi-
enced mutilated currency examiner will
determine if at least 51 percent of a bill
is present and eligible for reimburse-
ment. The process can take up to two
years.
Frog-phobic man awarded
$1.6M over runoff flooding
CLARENCE, N.Y. Paul
Marinaccio Sr. traces his fear of frogs to
a childhood incident in Italy when a man
holding bullfrogs chased him away after
hed wandered from the vineyard where
his parents worked.
Decades later, he found himself
describing his phobia to a jury, calling
himself a prisoner in my own home
after runoff water from a nearby devel-
opment turned his 40-acre property into
wetlands and inundated it with frogs.
I am petried. I go home at night and
I cant get in my garage because of the
frogs, Marinaccio testified in 2009.
Theyre right in front of the damn door,
OK?
It was part of a seven-year legal ght
involving Marinaccio, the town of
Clarence and a developer that, according
to The Buffalo News, nally ended last
month when the states highest court
ruled that Marinaccio, who was awarded
$1.6 million in compensation after the
2009 trial, is not entitled to an addition-
al $250,000 in punitive damages.
Marinaccio sued Clarence, a Buffalo
suburb, and Kieffer Enterprises Inc. after
runoff diverted onto Marinaccios prop-
erty from a new Kieffer subdivision
turned it into wetlands. A town engineer
initially said the water would ow into a
ditch elsewhere on Kieffer property. The
town later discovered the ditch was actu-
ally on Marinaccios property, and that it
was too small to handle the ow of
water.
Girl next door Annette
Funicello dies at 70
NEW YORK She was the rst
crush for a generation of boys, the per-
fect playmate for a generation of girls.
Annette Funicello, who became a
child star as a cute-as-a-button
Mouseketeer on
The Mickey Mouse
Club in the 1950s,
ruled among baby
boomers, who tuned
in every weekday
afternoon to watch
her on their icker-
ing black-and-white
television sets.
Then they shed
their mouse ears, as
Annette did when she teamed up with
Frankie Avalon during the 60s in a
string of frothy, fun-in-the-sun movies
with titles like Beach Blanket Bingo
and How to Stuff a Wild Bikini.
Decades later, she endeared herself to
baby boomers all over again after she
announced in 1992 that she had multiple
sclerosis and began grappling with the
slow, degenerative effects with remark-
ably good cheer and faith.
Funicello died on Monday at Mercy
Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield,
Calif., of complications from MS, the
Walt Disney Co. said. She was 70 and
had dropped from public view years ago.
She really had a tough existence,
Avalon told the Associated Press. Its
like losing a family member. Im devas-
tated but Im not surprised.
Avalon said that when they were
working together, she never realized
how beloved she was. She would say,
Really? She was so bashful about it.
She was an amazing girl, he recalled.

Four members of a San Bruno family
accused of attacking police ofcers on the
Fourth of July 2011 after chasing one relative
who allegedly lobbed an M-1000 under a
patrol car began trial Monday on numerous
felonies stemming from the brawl.
Ephraim DeVera Rapada, 59, Crystal Anne
Rapada, 29, Ervin James Rapada, 27, and
Wendell Jennings Rapada, 32, are charged with
varying amounts of battery on a police ofcer,
resisting arrest and assault in the incident that
left one ofcer with a concussion and nearly
saw another thrown off a balcony. Wendell
Rapada, the family member accused of throw-
ing the recracker that preceded the assaults, is
also accused of violating his felony probation
for rearm possession with the new arrest.
The case was assigned yesterday to Judge
Leland Davis and is estimated to last three
weeks. Wendell Rapadas probation violation
conference is trailing behind the new case.
The brutal holiday encounter began when
two San Bruno police ofcers, acting as part
of a countywide reworks abatement team,
saw a M-1000 lobbed from an apartment com-
plex to the street and roll underneath their car.
They chased the suspect, Wendell Rapada, to
an East Avenue complex and up to an outside
balcony. As Rapada
allegedly punched at the
officers, his cousin,
Crystal Rapada, came out
of the apartment and
joined in hitting and kick-
ing them, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce.
His father, Ephraim
DeVera Rapada, appeared
and reportedly tried lifting
one ofcer over the bal-
cony which is 13 feet
above ground. Next,
cousin Ervin Rapada,
allegedly participated in
the attack.
One officer reported
feeling one of the suspects
try to remove his gun from
its holster as he lost con-
sciousness. Another of-
cer arrived to help and was
allegedly struck several times in the face by
Ervin Rapada.
Another group of ofcers responded to calls
for backup and arrested the four Rapadas
charged in the case. Two others were accused
of ghting with the responding ofcers, not
the original assault upstairs, so they were only
cited for misdemeanor battery on an ofcer
and released. The District
Attorneys Ofce declined
to file charges against
either, citing insufficient
evidence.
One ofcer was hospital-
ized with a concussion and
two received black eyes
and facial contusions.
The trial has been sched-
uled and rescheduled six
times since the Rapada
family was rst arraigned
in San Mateo County
Superior Court in
November 2011.
During that time, the
family has also pleaded its
own case with an online
video demanding justice
and claiming they were the
victims of excessive police
force regardless of
whether or not they are guilty.
Ephraim and Crystal Rapada are free from
custody on $75,000 bail and Ervin Rapada is
free on $50,000 bail. Wendell Rapada is free
on $110,00 bail for both cases.

Burlingame seeks clarity
on school funding proposal
Simplifying education funding is some-
thing Burlingame school officials agree with
but they have questions about the actual dol-
lars and cents.
On Tuesday, the Burlingame Elementary
School District Board of Trustees will dis-
cuss requesting a change to the modified
Local Control Funding Formula. Gov. Jerry
Brown suggested simplifying the formula
for funding schools earlier this year. The
Local Control Funding Formula is the pro-
posed method. Under the proposal, there
would be fewer requirements for how dis-
tricts spend money and those with students
who have additional needs will receive extra
money.
The proposed target level of the base
grant for the new funding formula does not
ensure that all (Local Educational Agencies)
will receive funding levels restored to their
pre-recession levels, reads the proposed
resolution.
Most California districts have had massive
cuts since the 2008-09 school year. As such,
the request is to at least bring funding back
to the 2007-08 funding level.
The board meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 9 at
the District Office, 1825 Trousdale Drive,
Burlingame.

Windy weather
downs trees, blows debris
Windy, wet weather left Bay Area roads
littered with fallen trees and debris, and the
region remained under a high-wind advisory
through yesterday.
Gusts reaching 45 mph were expected in
parts of the Bay Area, and motorists were
advised to drive cautiously.
Overnight gusts exceeding 30 mph brought
down trees and branches in some San
Francisco neighborhoods, San Francisco
Department of Public Works spokeswoman
Rachel Gordon said.
With 75 mph gusts along Ocean Beach
overnight, the Great Highway was shut
down around 3:30 a.m. Monday between
Lincoln Way and Sloat Boulevard because
of sand.
According to weather officials, wind gusts
peaked at 62 mph along the Point Reyes
coast in Marin County; 60 mph at San
Francisco International Airport; 54 mph at
Mount Diablo in Contra Costa County; and
52 mph in the Cupertino area.
State Highway 84 in San Mateo County
was closed after downed cable lines
blocked traffic for several hours yester-
day morning, a California Highway
Patrol officer said.
The CHP responded to reports of fallen
cable lines across east- and westbound lanes
of Highway 84 west of state Highway 35
near Woodside at about 4:30 a.m., CHP
Officer Art Montiel said.
In San Mateo, city officials said a turn sig-
nal pole was knocked down by Hillsdale
Boulevard and palm fronds caused minor
issues.
Man stabbed
in front of home
A man was stabbed several times in front
of his South San Francisco home early
Sunday morning after being approached by
two men who were yelling gang-type
words at the victim, according to police.
Police responded to Kaiser Hospital
Sunday morning at about 6 a.m. where they
took a report from the 29-year-old victim
who was seeking treatment for non-life
threatening injuries.
The victim was speaking with his wife in
front of his home on Randolph Avenue when
the two men approached, according to
police.
A struggle ensued, the victim was stabbed
several times and the suspects took off on
foot toward Pecks Lane, according to police.
The first suspect is described as a Hispanic
male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, thin, wearing a
black hooded sweatshirt and dark pants.
The second suspect is described as a
Hispanic male, 5 feet tall, medium build,
wearing a white T-shirt and dark pants.
Anyone with information regarding the
case may call 877-8900.
San Bruno man arrested for
possession of stolen items
Hillsborough police arrested a San Bruno
man for possession of stolen property
Sunday morning after a resident reported a
suspicious person knocking at the front
door.
The man knocked on a door in the 600
block of Darrell Road, off of Chateau Drive
near Interstate 280, just before 7:30 a.m.,
police Sgt. Nelson Corteway said.
Police arrived and detained the man as he
was getting back into his car, and determined
that he was on probation. A search of his car
turned up stolen property linked to a recent
burglary at the home where he had parked,
Corteway said.
The man was arrested
on suspicion of posses-
sion of stolen property
and for violation of the
terms of his probation.
Police identified him as
31-year-old Federico
Horny.
Some items seized
from Hornys car are
believed to be linked to
other thefts in the area. Hillsborough police
are working to identify the owners of the
property.
Horny was driving a silver 1991 Toyota
two-door pickup truck at the time of his
arrest. Anyone who may have seen him or his
vehicle should contact Hillsborough police at
375-7470.
Body retrieved from
water near Miramar Beach
A decomposed body was found in the
ocean near Half Moon Bay on Sunday
evening, a San Mateo County sheriffs
spokeswoman said Monday.
Passersby on Miramar Beach made the dis-
covery and reported it to the Sheriffs Office
at about 5 p.m., Detective Rebecca
Rosenblatt said.
Deputies responded and brought the body
to shore, she said. The body was that of a
male.
The San Mateo County Coroners Office
will be working to determine the persons
identity and cause of death, which could take
several weeks, she said.

people living here illegally.
Already negotiators are caution-
ing of struggles ahead for an issue
thats deed resolution for years. An
immigration deal came close on the
Senate oor in 2007 but collapsed
amid interest-group bickering and
an angry public backlash.
There will be a great deal of
unhappiness about this proposal
because everybody didnt get what
they wanted, Sen. John McCain, R-
Ariz., a leader of the eight senators
negotiating the legislation, said
Sunday. There are entrenched posi-
tions on both sides of this issue.
Theres a long road, said Sen.
Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., appearing
alongside McCain on CBS Face
the Nation. There are people on
both sides who are against this bill,
and they will be able to shoot at it.
Schumer, McCain and their
Gang of Eight already missed a
self-imposed deadline to have their
bill ready in March, but Schumer
said he hoped that this week, it will
happen.
All of us have said that there will
be no agreement until the eight of us
agree to a big, specic bill, but
hopefully we can get that done by
the end of the week, said Schumer.
Another negotiator, Sen. Lindsey
Graham, R-S.C., was more cau-
tious, saying on NBCs Meet the
Press that he hoped to get the deal
done in the next couple of
weeks.
Raucous debate on immigration to get underway
A transient accused of stealing
iPhones and other electronics in
several Peninsula cities to fund a
drug habit was charged Monday
with 13 felony counts of second-
degree robbery.
Nicholas Anthony Simat, 26,
appeared in court yesterday and his
bail was set at $197,500, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
If convicted, Simat faces roughly
11 years in prison but, under
realignment, the term would be
served locally.
Authorities arrested Simat
Thursday at a
friends home in
Pinole after
police received
a tip, according
to the South San
Francisco Police
De p a r t me n t .
Police said
Simat admitted
to committing
numerous iPhone thefts and said
they were stolen to support a heroin
and oxycontin habit.
Since Feb. 27, numerous iPhone
thefts happened throughout the
Peninsula after a man entered vari-
ous businesses and pretended to be a
customer. The same man went to
businesses in South San Francisco,
Burlingame and Daly City. When
employees were distracted or left
the area, the man would quickly
steal iPhones, iPads and other elec-
tronics from employees desks.
During these interactions, the man
referred to himself as Mike or
Michael and claimed to be a com-
puter guy who recently inherited
money, according to police.
He is also suspected of burglary
and theft in Pleasanton.

WHYNOW?
Major problems with U.S. immigration have been
around for decades.
President George W. Bush tried to change the
system and failed. President Barack Obama
promised tooverhaul it in his rst term but never
did.
In his second term, hes making immigration a
priority, and Republicans also appear ready to
deal.
Why thenewcommitment?
Obama won 71 percent of Hispanic voters in his
2012 re-election campaign, and he owes them.
Last years election also sent a loud message to
Republicans that they cant ignore this pivotal
voting bloc.
Its been the kind of breathtaking turnaround you
rarelyseeinpolitics. Plus, theres growingpressure
from business leaders, who want to make it easier
for the U.S. to attract highly educated immigrants
and to legally bring in more lower-skilled workers
such as farm laborers.
WHATSTHEPROBLEM?
Talk about comprehensive immigration reform
generally centers on four main questions:
What to do about the 11 million-plus
immigrants who live in the U.S. without legal
permission.
How to tighten border security.
How to keep businesses from employing
people who are in the U.S. illegally.
How to improve the legal immigration system,
now so convoluted that the adjective Byzantine
pops up all too frequently.
WHATSTHEGANGOFEIGHT?
A group of four Democrats and four Republicans
in the Senate, taking the lead in trying to craft
legislation that would address all four questions.
Obama is preparing his own plan as a backup in
case congressional talks fail.Theres also a
bipartisan House group working on draft
legislation, but House Republican leaders may
leave it to the Senate to make the rst move.
COMINGTOAMERICA
A record 40.4 million immigrants live in the U.S.,
representing 13 percent of the population. More
than 18 million are naturalized citizens, 11 million
are legal permanent or temporary residents, and
more than 11 million are in the country without
legal permission, according to the Pew Hispanic
Center, a privateresearchorganization.
Those in the U.S. illegally made up about 3.7
percent of the U.S. population in 2010.While
overall immigration has steadily grown, the
number of immigrants in the U.S. illegally peaked
at 12 million in 2007.
WERENO.1
The U.S. is the leading destination for immigrants.
Russias second, with 12.3 million, according to
Pew.
WHEREFROM?
Twenty-nine percent of the foreign-born in the
U.S., or about 11.7 million people, came from
Mexico. About 25 percent came from South and
East Asia, 9 percent from the Caribbean, 8 percent
from Central America, 7 percent South America, 4
percent the Middle East and the rest from
elsewhere.
The gures are more lopsided for immigrants
living here illegally: An estimated 58 percent are
from Mexico.The next closest gure is 6 percent
from El Salvador, says the government.
WHERETO?
California has the largest share of the U.S.
immigrant population, 27percent, followedby
New York, New Jersey, Florida, Nevada, Hawaii and
Texas, according to the Migration Policy Institute,
a private group focused on global immigration
issues.
California has the largest share of immigrants in
the U.S. illegally, at 25 percent, followed by Texas
with 16 percent. Florida and New York each has 6
percent, and Georgia has 5 percent, according to
the Department of Homeland Security.
GETTINGIN
Heres oneway tothink about theways
immigrants arrive in the U.S: Some come in the
front door, others the side door and still others
the back door, as laid out in a report from the
private Population Reference Bureau.
Arriving through the front door: people legally
sponsored by their families or employers. Also
refugees and asylum-seekers, and immigrants
who win visas in an annual diversitylottery.
Side door: legal temporary arrivals, including
those who get visas tovisit, work or study.There
are dozens of types of nonimmigrant visas,
available to people ranging from business visitors
to foreign athletes and entertainers.Visitors from
dozens of countries dont even need visas.
Back door: Somewhat more than half of those
in the U.S. illegally have come in the back door,
evading border controls, Pew estimates.The rest
legally entered, but didnt leave when they were
supposed to or otherwise violated terms of their
visas.
HOWDOWEKNOW?
Its widely accepted that there are more than 11
million immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
But how do we know that?
Those who are living here without permission
typically arent eager to volunteer that
information. Number-crunchers dig into census
data and other government surveys, make some
educated assumptions, adjust for people who
may be left out, mix in population information
from Mexico and tend to arrive at similar gures.
The Department of Homeland Security estimates
there were 11.5 million immigrants living in the
U.S. illegally in January 2011. Pew puts the
number at 11.1 million as of March 2011.
Demographers use whats called the residual
method to get their tally.They take estimates of
the legal foreign-born population and subtract
that number from the total foreign-born
population.The remainder represents those who
are living in the country without legal permission.
ISITACRIME?
Simply being in the United States in violation of
immigration laws isnt, by itself, a crime; its a civil
violation.
Entering the country without permission is a
misdemeanor criminal offense. Re-entering the
country without authorization after being
formally removed can be felony.
Pew estimates that a little less than half of
immigrants who lack legal permission to live in
the U.S. didnt enter the country illegally.They
overstayed their visas, worked without
authorization, dropped out of school or
otherwise violated the conditions of their visas.

The last of three Norteo gang-
members charged with attacking a
Redwood City taqueria patron
because they thought he was a
Hispanic gang rival will receive
eight years in prison after pleading
no contest to felony assault and
admitting he had been to prison
before.
Formal sentencing for Roberto
Gallegos, 29, was set for May 3 so
that the victim can attend the hear-
ing.
Gallegos plea deal ends the case
which prosecutors say began July
21, 2012 at Tacos El Grullense on
Woodside Road in Redwood City
when he and two others taunted the
victim because he wore a blue shirt
and they did not believe his claims
of being Persian. Co-defendant Juan
Carlos Madero, 31, reportedly
punched him in the face and the oth-
ers then attacked the man with bro-
ken bottles and punches, according
to the District Attorneys Ofce.
Madero pleaded no contest to
felony assault and causing great
bodily injury. He faces up to 16
years in prison as a second-striker
when sentenced May 2. Third co-
defendant Jonathan Fuentes Ortiz,
22, pleaded no contest to felony
assault and received four years in
prison. He was also sentenced to a
concurrent ve-year term for violat-
ing probation imposed after attack-
ing his father whom he blamed for
his mothers imprisonment on
attempted murder charges.
Madero remains in custody in lieu
of $225,000 bail. Gallegos is held

Amid a sea of global awareness and interconnection,Notre Dame High School in Belmont is denitely riding the
wave. Students and staff alike have welcomed many new faces and languages from around the world into the
hallways and classrooms this year.The experience of having international students on campus is changing the
way community members view their own and other cultures, adding a new lens for viewing and connecting to
the world beyond these shores. Many cross-cultural friendships are developing, and global interaction is no
longer an abstract idea for students.Though Notre Dame High School has traditionally had a sizable number of
students whose families have emigrated from other countries, many of our current international students have
come to the United States alone, without their own families.These intrepid girls are living on the Peninsula with
host families, thousands of miles from their parents and friends in China, Russia, Japan,Thailand and India.They
are immersed in a rigorous college preparatory program,are absorbed in the study of American culture and are

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

Barack Obama hugs crying members of the audience after delivering remarks on measures
to reduce gun violence.
By Andrew Taylor
WASHINGTON Even as it adds fuel to
battles over taxes and Social Security,
President Barack Obamas budget will reprise
lots of smaller bore proposals that have gone
nowhere in a gridlocked Washington.
Ideas like higher Transportation Security
Administration fees on airline tickets, the end
of Saturday mail delivery and higher pension
contributions for federal workers are the hardy
perennials of Obamas budgets, reprised year
after year, along with more widely known pro-
posals like taxing oil companies and the rich.
Many of the ideas have been seen as candi-
dates for inclusion in broader decit deals that
have never come to pass.
Obama proposes some $200 billion in sav-
ings outside of health care costs, including a
new fee on telecommunications companies
and other users of federally licensed commu-
nications spectrum and billions of dollars
claimed by selling off excess federal proper-
ties. They are part of Obamas most recent,
spurned budget offer to House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, in December and will be
reprised when Obamas budget comes out on
Wednesday.
Efforts for a grand bargain on the budget
between Obama and Congress have proven
elusive, however, and stand-alone attempts to
advance the proposals including cutting
farm subsidies and overhauling the Postal
Service have bogged down as well.
At issue are dozens of longstanding options
to trim the federal budget. They include elim-
inating direct payments to
farmers even if they dont
produce a crop and curb-
ing $30 billion worth of
Medicare payments over a
decade to hospitals to
reimburse them for
patients who dont pay
deductibles and copay-
ments.
But the nature of budget
cuts or new fees is that they often go after
powerful interest groups. So they typically
die, only to be reprised year after year as the
administration assembles its budget wish list.
For instance, Obamas proposal to save
about $140 billion over a decade by reducing
Medicare payments to drug companies is
opposed by both Republicans and
Democrats. Obamas proposal to require fed-
eral workers to contribute more to their pen-
sions is opposed by both his labor union
allies and many Democratic lawmakers alike.
And legislation to stem losses by the Postal
Service by allowing it to cut Saturday deliv-
ery and close facilities has to pass through a
gantlet of unions and lawmakers worried of
shuttering facilities in their districts and
states.
Senate Republicans have easily repelled
recent attempts by the Appropriations
Committee to enact a $2.50 increase in airline
security fees that would double the per-pas-
senger TSA fee for those taking nonstop
ights thats based on proposals of the budg-
ets of both Obama and George W. Bush. Itll
be reprised on Wednesday.
Obamas budget
plan revisits small
bore budget cuts
By Nedra Pickler
HARTFORD, Conn. With time running
out on the chance to pass gun control legisla-
tion, President Barack Obama on Monday
warned Congress not to use delaying tactics
against tighter regulations and told families of
the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting
victims that hes determined as ever to honor
their children with tougher laws.
Obamas gun control proposals have run into
resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in
doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach
compromise with Republicans over expanding
required federal background checks have yet to
yield an agreement, and conservatives were
promising to try blocking the Senate from even
beginning debate on gun control legislation.
The day Newtown happened was the tough-
est day of my presidency, Obama said in an
emotional speech from Connecticuts capital,
an hours drive from Newtown. But Ive got to
tell you, if we dont respond to this, thatll be a
tough day for me too.
Some of the Sandy Hook families are mak-
ing an attempt to push through the bill. Obama
met with them privately before his speech at
the University of Hartford Monday evening,
then brought 12 family members back to Air
Force One for the trip back to Washington.
The relatives want to meet with senators
whove yet to back the legislation to encour-
age their support in memory of their loved
ones.
Nothings going to be more important in
making sure that the Congress moves forward
this week than hearing from them, Obama
said. His eyes teared as he described Nicole
Hockley, who lost her 6-year-old son, Dylan,
saying how she asks him every night to come
to her in her dreams so she can see him again.

JERUSALEM Secretary of State John
Kerry worked Monday to corral Israeli and
Palestinian leaders into a new and ambitious
peace process that includes reviving parts of a
long-dormant plan embraced by the Arab
world a decade ago, ofcials said.
The 2002 initiative that Kerry wants to
revive parts of would have provided Israel
recognition throughout the Arab world in
exchange for a pullout from territory con-
quered in 1967.
On his third trip to Jerusalem in the last two
weeks, Kerry committed himself to a multi-
month peace push that could mean numerous
follow-up trips to the region. He met with
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
and other senior Israeli and Palestinian of-
cials Monday, a day after sitting down for pri-
vate one-on-one talks with Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah.
I am intensely focused on this issue and
the region because it is vital really to
American interests and regional interests to
try and advance the peace process and
because this festering absence of peace is
used by groups everywhere to recruit and
encourage extremism, Kerry told reporters.
Both sides mistrust each other deeply and
there are reasons that mistrust has built up,
he added. I am convinced that we can break
that down.
Kerrys foremost goal is to restart direct
Israeli-Palestinian peace talks that have hard-
ly taken place at all over the last 4 1/2 years.
And, in a break from previous American-led
efforts, he also wants to focus on a modied
version of the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative.
The initiative was revolutionary when Saudi
Arabia introduced it and the 22-member Arab
League endorsed it. It offered Israel compre-
hensive recognition in exchange for with-
drawal from the lands it conquered in the
1967 Mideast war.
Although Israel never embraced the plan
and the Palestinians oppose any changes to it,
the basic parameters seem to be gaining trac-
tion as a framework for future talks between
the Israelis and Palestinians. Arab League
chief Nabil El-Araby and Qatars prime min-
ister will lead a delegation to Washington this
month to discuss the initiative with Kerry,
Arab ofcials said.
Kerry, however, is seeking new conditions
to sweeten the deal for Israel, ofcials said.
Arab and Palestinian ofcials say he has
talked about upgraded guarantees for Israels
security and allowances for border adjust-
ments based on mutual agreement.
A senior State Department ofcial would
only say Kerry wanted the plan enhanced.
The American ofcial spoke on condition of
anonymity because of Kerrys orders not to
brief reporters.
Earlier Monday, Kerry told U.S. consulate
staff in Jerusalem that he was coming so reg-
ularly to the Mideast because he believed
peace could be reached. If we can get on a
track where people are working in good faith
to address the bottom-line concerns, it is pos-
sible to be able to make progress and make
peace, he said.
Among the countless peace plans and con-
dence-building strategies devised for Israel
and the Palestinians over the years, the Arab
Leagues initiative was one of the quickest to
be dismissed. It was overshadowed by erce
Israeli-Palestinian ghting at the time and
Israel has never softened its objections to the
1967 lines, which it sees as indefensible.
There is also a spiritual component. For
Israel, returning to its old borders would mean
a withdrawal from east Jerusalem, home to
the citys holiest Jewish, Muslim and
Christian religious sites
Winning Netanyahus support will be dif-
cult. He sharply clashed with President
Barack Obama two years ago when the
American president publicly endorsed the
1967 borders as the basis of a two-state solu-
tion. While Netanyahu has described the Arab
peace initiative as a welcome sign of accept-
ance, he has refused to accept its take-it-or-
leave it conditions.
The Palestinians, too, dont want to make
new concessions. Theyve won a score of
diplomatic victories over the last year, includ-
ing recognition as a non-voting member state
of the United Nations and as full members of
other multilateral institutions, and feel inter-
national support of their cause is growing.
The chief Palestinian negotiator, Saeb
Erekat, said Kerry has been oating the Arab
initiative as a possible way out of the dead-
lock but that it could not be changed. Kerry
asked us to change a few words in the Arab
Peace Initiative but we refused, he told the
Voice of Palestine radio station on Sunday.
Abbas left Monday for talks on the plan at
an Arab League meeting in Qatar. There, a
special committee was holding an urgent
meeting on the subject, said Mohammed
Subeih, the Arab Leagues undersecretary for
Palestinian affairs.

Tuesday, the council will discuss a draft to
establish a permit system for new firearm
dealers.
The new rules would require new busi-
nesses that plan to sell firearms to: certify it
meets state requirements for selling guns; be
located at least 250 feet away from residen-
tial districts, schools, day-care centers or
parks and 1,200 feet from other firearms
dealers, card rooms, massage establishments
and adult businesses; keep all firearms
secure with additional measures like alarms,
security cameras, reinforced doors and win-
dow and $1 million in liability insurance;
work with police to set reasonable hours of
operation; renew the permit annually; and a
hearing should a permit be denied or
revoked, according to the staff report.
Currently two businesses in San Bruno sell
guns and a third has permits to do so.
The council meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 9

Letters to the editor
By Art Kiesel
T
he annual Foster City budget season
is ofcially underway with the meet-
ing and subsequent direction setting
that took place March 25.
For the past several years, we have had an
unbalanced budget where expenses exceeded
income. Since the recession that started in
2008, many municipalities including Foster
City have found themselves in a decit
spending situation. In 2009, the sitting City
Council decided on a policy direction of
achieving a balanced budget by the 2013-14
scal year. That policy has been a work in
progress and proceeding as planned.
However, we are currently working on that
targeted budget year and it is my expectation
that Foster City will have a balanced budget
for the coming year.
Since 2009, we have been faced with some
obstacles such as a prolonged recession that
some believe we are still experiencing, the
housing market bust and the end to redevel-
opment agencies (RDAs) to name a few, each
of which have a negative impact on revenues.
Foster City has held its own through the
housing market crises with values going
down much less than other nearby communi-
ties and it appears that housing values in
Foster City are on the rise. We have been for-
tunate to have companies willing to invest in
housing in poor economic times that commit-
ted affordable housing funds before the RDA
dissolution.
It goes without saying that budgets are
comprised of revenue and expenses. Our suc-
cesses from the revenue perspective have
included the passage of Measure P, an
increase in Transit Occupancy Tax that the
Foster City voters approved in November of
2011. We have already seen positive signs of
increased revenue as a
result. It needs to be
noted that any tax
increases requires voter
approval as we witnessed
in recent state-sponsored
Proposition 30 this last
November.
On the expense side of
the budget, we have more
immediate control. We have merged re
department administrative services with San
Mateo in an effort to reduce expenses and
this action continues to show positive results.
The Foster City-San Mateo arrangement is
progressing favorably. We have reduced head
count through attrition and job responsibility
reassignments. However, with the current
volume of baby-boomers reaching retire-
ment age, we have seen several department
heads retire taking with them irreplaceable
institutional knowledge.
Foster City has been a scally responsible
city for many years due to responsible city
councils. However, there are many new chal-
lenges arising from external forces that we
now have to address and must employ out-of-
the-box thinking and creativity. We have to
be even more diligent with the theme of
doing more with less. Everywhere expenses
continue to increase faster than revenues and
have been doing so for some time.
The dissolution of redevelopment agencies
has taken nearly $13 million from our ability
to provide and assist with affordable housing.
We now have to spend more time and money
seeking out new funding methods and
sources to provide state-mandated affordable
housing. The state instituted Realignment
in which prisoners under the responsibility of
the state are being reassigned to county
responsibility. With the modication of the
three-strikes law (Proposition 36) passed this
last November, prisoners are being released
earlier resulting in more pressure being place
on local law enforcement for repeat offenders
at a cost still too early to quantify.
The federal government has been over-
spending for decades and is now looking at
$1.1 trillion in cuts by 2021. This is impor-
tant for us to watch because, with the state
already hurting nancially, how much will
the federal cuts affect the state and how
many government employees will see layoffs
or furloughs? Either of these federal actions
does not bode well for our regional and state
economy. We now have new terms to identify
federal overspending such as Fiscal Cliff
and Sequestration. Once the state assesses
the impact of the federal cuts have on state
coffers, nancial responsibility for more
things will in all probability be pushed down
to the counties and cities.
I remain convinced that we as local elected
ofcials must become more involved in
regional and state issues and are all affected
by federal, state and county actions more
than ever before. Yet, the focus on broader
issues must not overshadow maintaining the
quality of life issues we have experienced in
Foster City. Foster City is and continues to
be one of the better places in which to live
and raise a family and it is hoped that the
trend will continue.

Chuck McDougald
and the party of opportunity
Editor,
I, for one, sincerely appreciate Mr.
McDougalds clarication of the philosophi-
cal differences that dene Democrats and
Republicans (Party of opportunity guest
perspective in the April 6-7 edition of the
Daily Journal). Some of a more cynical stripe
than myself may believe they recognize the
tired, self-serving baloney expressed so many
times in the past by those right wing icons,
Ayn Rand and General Bullmoose.
Dividing the population into givers and
takers does seem to be the current mantra of
the party that seems determined to self
immolate. Chuck can boast of being the
partys local party chair, California Vets for
U.S. Sen. John McCains failed attempts to
seek nomination as a presidential candidate
and Carly Fiorinas failed attempt to secure a
seat in the Senate. He astutely recognizes the
attempts to reach out to those communities
Republicans have managed to alienate with
their obvious distaste for anyone who isnt a
male, white, heterosexual, Christian English
speaker.
I was a tad disappointed though that he
failed to mention the dominance in that crew
of lunatics he calls a party by evangelicals
and the Tea Party. That was probably just an
oversight. As an avowed member of the 47
percent, I say with all sincerity Good luck
Chuck.
Mike Slavens
San Mateo
Tomorrows Republican Party
Editor,
Various selective Republican values as
seen and set forth through Chuck
McDougalds rose-colored glasses illustrate
the need for new leadership in the
Republican Party (Party of opportunity
guest perspective in the April 6-7 edition of
the Daily Journal) if it plans to maintain any
semblance of hope and unity for this and
future generations of all Americans young
and old, of all faiths and beliefs; including
those with serious health conditions and for
Americans of all races, economic back-
grounds, genders, nationalities, including the
more and less fortunate.
Many of us are born American while many
more are Americans by choice. This often
includes a critical struggle to survive for
those in their new land.
We (state, federal and local governments)
can do more to help all newcomers learn to
become good and productive citizens.

Welcome to budget season
Get out of dodge
T
hank goodness a New Hampshire
school district took the extraordinary
step of banning dodgeball from the
list of acceptable pastimes. Now the kiddies
have more time to rack up kills in Call of
Duty and forgo the exercise that might keep
them off the obesity rolls.
As everybody knows, of course, the most
direct path from angelic childhood to homici-
dal disaster is not mental illness, access to
weaponry, violent video games or movies,
parental abuse, peer bullying or a litany of
other possibilities thrown on the post-tragedy
bandwagon. The true culprit is dodgeball.
In that spirit, the Windham School Board
voted 4-1 to ban human target games for
all students enrolled in kindergarten through
12th grade. The
vote, which came
after a middle
school parent
complained his
child was bullied
during a dodgeball
game, prohibits
dodgeball and
nine other games.
The advocates
said the move was
an attempt to
remove violence
from schools in
the aftermath of the horric events at Sandy
Hook Elementary School. How can the
school promote an anti-bullying campaign
while simultaneously allowing physically
aggressive activities that essentially separate
the wheat from the chaff? the school board
basically asked.
No word yet on how often Adam Lanza
was among the rst players struck during his
school PE classes.
And no word yet on whats next for the no-
no list. Kickball, baseball, softball, tetherball
even the otherwise innocuous four square
all involve balls directed toward children.
And basketball! That sport must brew noth-
ing but a future crop of demons, what with
its quick passes of the basketball what if
it smacks some poor kid in the face? and
deliberate attempts to keep the ball away
from the shorter and weaker. Shame on us!
Hide and seek is no good; teaches a preda-
tory mindset as does every form of tag. Cops
and robbers has pretty much kicked the
bucket but lets also prohibit kick the can,
too. You never know when the kids might
want to go old school and god forbid they
sneak around the human target game prohibi-
tion by taking a cue from the past.
Once the physical games are out, make
sure the students sitting down criss-cross-
apple-sauce dont muddle their minds with
the wrong types of board games. The capital-
ism of Monopoly will breed legions of
Gordon Gekko-emulating corporate raiders
who will do anything for a buck, including
sell rearms without the proper background
checks. Risk teaches children to strategize
combat and love beating their enemies which
connect the dots is a straight shot to
becoming the next American Taliban or at
least wage a personal war on the nearest
campus.
Yes, Windham school ofcials are on to
something. In fact, the loudest congressmem-
bers and other elected leaders scrambling
over themselves to condemn weapons ought
to switch gears and propose nationwide limi-
tations on school activities. Maybe the armed
security guards and teachers proposed for
campus can also monitor that no under-
ground dodgeball games spring up. Because
if the districts and the nation legislates and
prohibits every possible item and action that
might promote violence, the fact it will still
exist must be attributed to something any-
thing right?
To their credit, the Windham ofcials are
likely well-meaning in the effort to dodge
future trouble. But in the court of public
opinion, theyre dropping the ball.

NEW YORK Investors are having a
hard time making up their minds.
The stock market extended its longest
period of indecision in nearly 15 years
Monday. For nearly three weeks, the
Dow Jones industrial average has alter-
nated between gains and losses, the
longest such streak since July 1998.
The ip-opping follows a decisively
strong start to the year that drove both
the Dow and the Standard & Poors 500
index to record highs. Since mid-March,
however, signs of a slowdown in the
U.S. and another meltdown in a troubled
fringe economy in Europe, this time
Cyprus, made investors more cautious.
Its almost as if this market is frus-
trating both the bulls and the bears, said
Ryan Detrick, a senior technical analyst
at Schaeffers Investment Research. Its
tough to say buy the dips because then
we go down, and were not going any-
where.
Even on Monday, the market was
indecisive. The Dow fell as much as 67
points in the morning, then turned high-
er in the afternoon to end with a modest
gain of nearly 50 points.
Investors are turning their focus to
earnings reports from major U.S. com-
panies, which began in earnest late
Monday when Alcoa, a major maker of
aluminum, turned in a mixed report. Its
earnings were ahead of expectations but
its revenue missed. The stock fell 13
cents in after-hours trading following the
release of its earnings report. It closed
up 15 cents to $8.39 during regular trad-
ing.
Later this week the pace of reporting
picks up when Bed Bath & Beyond,
Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase
announce their first-quarter perform-
ance.
A big factor driving the Standard &
Poors 500 up 9.6 percent this year has
been optimism over company prots.
While the expectations for the rst quar-
ter are relatively modest, many investors
are expecting to see more of a pickup in
earnings later in the year.
Earnings for companies in the S&P
500 index are expected to rise just 0.7
percent from the rst quarter of last year,
but that growth is expected to accelerate
sharply to 13 percent in the nal three-
month period of the year, according to
data from S&P Capital IQ.
On Monday the Dow Jones industrial
average rose 48.23 points, or 0.3 per-
cent, to close at 14,613.48. The S&P 500
index closed up 9.79 points, or 0.6 per-
cent, at 1,563.07.
J.C. Penney slumped 10 percent in
after-hours trading after the troubled
department store chain announced that it
was bringing back its old CEO, Mike
Ullman. CEO Ron Johnson is departing
after his turnaround strategy failed to
win over shoppers, which included
slashing the number of sales.
Telecommunications stocks fell 0.5
percent and health care stocks inched up
just 0.2 percent, lagging the rest of the
market. The two industry groups have
performed well this year as investors
sought out less risky stocks that pay
good dividends. Health care companies
are up almost 16 percent, making them
the best performers in the S&P 500.
Lufkin Industries, an oileld equip-
ment maker, surged $24.03, or 38 per-
cent, to $87.96 after General Electric
Co. agreed to buy the company for $3
billion. GE wants to bolster its oil and
gas operations. Its stock rose 19 cents, or
0.8 percent, to $23.12.
Johnson & Johnson logged the biggest
percentage decline on the 30-member
Dow Jones industrial average, dropping
93 cents to $81.11. Analysts at
JPMorgan cut their rating on the stock to
neutral, saying it has risen too far, too
fast. Johnson & Johnson is up 16 percent
this year.
Stocks fell Friday after the govern-
ment reported a slowdown in hiring that
was far worse than economists had
expected. The report capped a bad week:
The S&P 500 logged its biggest weekly
decline of the year as signs emerged that
U.S. growth is starting to cool.

Big movers

WASHINGTON What business gets
more customers every year, yet keeps losing
money?
The U.S. Postal Service delivers mail to
11 million more homes, offices and other
addresses than it did a decade ago, even as
the amount of mail that people in the United
States receive has dropped sharply.
That combination may be financially
dicey, some analysts say.
The more delivery points they have to
service, the higher their costs in fuel, time
spent, etc., says Rick Geddes, associate pro-
fessor in Cornell Universitys department of
policy analysis and management.
But it doesnt mean their revenue goes up
it doesnt necessarily mean people are
mailing more stuff, he says.
Indeed, the volume of mail has decreased
steadily as people stay in touch with email,
Facebook and other electronic services
more. Total mail volume handled by the
financially shaky postal agency dropped to
160 billion pieces last year from its all-time
high, 213.1 billion in 2006. Revenue fell to
$65.2 billion last budget year from a high of
$74.9 billion in 2008.
The cost of delivery is the agencys largest
fixed expense. It takes tens of billions of
dollars a year and 300,000 people, or 60 per-
cent of the agencys workforce, to handle
deliveries, says Postal Service spokes-
woman Sue Brennan.
The service isnt losing money on deliv-
ery, but adding addresses while losing vol-
ume is an issue, she says.
In 2007, we could deliver 10 or 15 pieces
of mail to a house and we were making a lot
of money just because the volume was so
high, Brennan says.
Those times have ended, but the mail car-
rier is still required to go to every address,
six days a week, whether taking 15 pieces
there or one.
The number of new addresses had been
rising by roughly 2 million almost every
year since 1989, but was cut in half to 1 mil-
lion or less annually during the recession
and housing crisis this decade.

NEW YORK J.C. Penneys board of
directors has ousted CEO Ron Johnson after
only 16 months on the job as a risky turn-
around strategy backred and led to massive
losses and steep sales drops.
In a statement issued late Monday, the
department store chain said that it has rehired
Johnsons predecessor Mike Ullman, 66, who
was CEO of the department store chain for
seven years until November 2011.
The announcement comes as a growing cho-
rus of critics including a former Penney CEO
Allen Questrom called for his resignation as
they lost faith in turnaround strategy.
Penney reported dismal fourth-quarter
results in late February that capped the rst
full year of a transformation plan where
Penney amassed nearly a billion dollars in
losses and its revenue tumbled almost 25 per-
cent to $12.98 billion.
Under Johnson, 54, Penney embarked upon
a strategy that included ditching coupons and
most of its sales events in
favor of everyday low
prices, bringing in hipper
designer brands such as
Betsy Johnson and remak-
ing outdated stores by
installing specialty shops
devoted to brands like Joe
Fresh and Levis to replace
rows of clothing racks.
Johnsons goal was to
reinvent Penneys business into a hip place to
shop in a bid to attract younger, wealthier
shoppers. But since Johnson, who was the
mastermind behind Apples stores, rolled out
his plan, once loyal customers have strayed
from the 1,100-store chain. It hasnt been able
to attract new shoppers to replace them.
In a vote of condence, investors drove
Penneys shares up 24 percent to $43 after
Johnson announced his vision in late January
2012. But as Johnsons plans unraveled,
Penneys stock lost more than 60 percent of its
value. Meanwhile, credit rating agencies
downgraded the company deeper into junk
status.
Bradway salary jumps
in first year as Amgens CEO
Amgen Inc.s new CEO, Robert A. Bradway,
received total compensation of $13.6 million in
2012, more than his predecessor, who stepped
down from the post in late May but retained
other duties, according to an Associated Press
analysis of a company regulatory ling.
Bradway, who was promoted from chief
operating ofcer to chief executive on May
23, saw his compensation nearly double from
$7.1 million in 2011.
Last year, Bradway, 50 years old, was paid
a salary of $1.26 million and received stock
awards worth $8.57 million, incentive pay-
ments of $3.32 million and miscellaneous
compensation totaling $420,059.
That included nearly $314,000 in retirement
plan contributions, $65,000 for personal use
of company aircraft, more than $20,000 for
his personal expenses and those of guests dur-
ing business travel, and $15,000 for nancial
planning services.
Amgen, the worlds biggest biotech compa-
ny by revenue, reported the gures Monday in
a proxy statement led with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ahead of Amgens
annual meeting on May 22.
Ericsson to buy
Microsofts TV software unit
NEW YORK Ericsson, the Swedish maker
of telecommunications equipment, has agreed
to buy Microsofts Mediaroom business, which
makes the software that powers AT&Ts U-
Verse TV service, the companies said Monday.
Neither company said how much Ericsson is
paying.
Mediaroom gives phone companies a way to
provide cable-like TV services over phone
lines. Its used in 22 million set-top boxes in 11
million households, Microsoft said. U-Verse
accounts for about 4.5 million of those homes.
Its also used by Deutsche Telekom of
Germany and by Telus Communications of
Canada.
Microsoft Corp., which is based in
Redmond, Wash., said its focusing its
resources on making its Xbox service a deliv-
ery vehicle for entertainment to game consoles,
phones, PCs and tablets.
Ericsson said the Mediaroom business com-
plements its portfolio of TV products. The busi-
ness employs more than 400 people and is
based in Mountain View.

SHES YOUNG, BUT SHE CAN PLAY: CARLMONT SOFTBALL PLAYER IS ATHLETE OF THE WEEK >>> PAGE 12
N
ow that the 2012 season is ofcially
over, the San Francisco Giants can
start getting back to normal and
concentrate on defending their World Series
title.
The Giants had to wait until they raised
their World Series champion banner, awarded
Buster Posey his MVP and handed out cham-
pionship rings before turning the page to the
season at hand. Hard to
fault them if they were at
less than their best
against the St. Louis
Cardinals, who dominat-
ed the nal two games of
the three-game set.
The Giants have been
nothing but distracted
since opening the season.
First was all the hoopla
about opening against the
Dodgers and all the talk
about who will rule the
National League West.
Then, they come home to face another team
that will be in the NL playoffs in the
Cardinals. Add in all the pomp and circum-
stance surrounding this past weekend, and I
wouldnt be surprised if they werent fully
focused on baseball.
So dont get too worried about the Giants
lack of offense right now. Dont worry that
Marco Scutaro is batting under the Mendoza
Line or if Pablo Sandoval is too big. All that
will work itself out over the next six months.
The season is six games old. The Giants have
yet to truly get into their routine and, once
Giants can

Daniel Navas rst big-league home run
will live in infamy, not just among Bay Area
baseball fans, but through the ages of major
league history.
On June 12, 2010, Nava dawned the Red
Sox uniform for his major league debut at
Fenway Park, and with then-Boston short-
stop Marco Scutaro standing on deck went
deep on the rst pitch he ever saw in the bigs
for a historic grand slam. It was just the sec-
ond time in history a player has hit a gland
slam on the rst pitch of his career. And it
came on the Fox Saturday Baseball Game of
the Week, no less.
For a baseball player, it was the stuff of
fairy tales.
But that was three years ago. Since that
time, Nava has toiled between the majors and
minors, spending the entirety of the 2011 sea-
son at Triple-A Pawtucket before bouncing
between there and Boston in 2012.
This year, however, Nava at long last real-
ized another baseball dream, as the former
College of San Mateo and Santa Clara
University star made Bostons opening-day
roster for the rst time in his career. And
Monday, he hit another monumental home
run, taking Orioles left-hander Wei-Yin Chen
over the Green Monster for a three-run blast.

most of all.
Luke Hancock produced another huge game

became the rst coach to win national titles at
two schools when relentless Louisville rallied
from another 12-point decit to beat Michigan
82-76 in the NCAA championship game
Monday night.
This title came on the same day Pitino was

WIth a team ranked in the top 40
nationally by Maxpreps.com, you
better believe that not just anyone
can put on a uniform and start for
the Carlmont High School softball
team.
Power, speed and talent to spare
the Scots truly have it all.
So when you look down at the 15-
2 mark (including a 4-0 record in
Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division play), take a gander at the
ungodly statistics it might come
as a surprise to see a freshman at the
top of several offensive statistics.
But rest assured, Jacy Phipps con-
tributions at the dish are no mistake
and with 17 games under her
belt, they arent a uke either.
Shes a good player, said
Carlmont head coach Jim Liggett.
She impressed us early on and we
decided to give her a shot on the var-
sity. Shes exceeded all of our
expectations.
Phipps was handed the outeld
duties on a serious Central Coast
Section championship contender
and instead of crumbling under the
pressure of having a competitive and
talented bunch of veteran outelders
champing at the bit for some playing
time, the freshman has thrived.
Phipps is hitting .405 with a .468
on-base percentage and is slugging
.548.
On top of that, despite facing var-
sity level pitching, the youngster has
only struck out three times.
Last week in four games, Phipps
was white-hot. She went 7-for-12
from the dish with 10 runs batted in
she also scored a pair of runs.
For her efforts, Phipps is the San
Mateo Daily Journal Athlete of the
Week.
She works extremely hard,
Liggett said. She listens to what
you have to tell her. She works on
her aws. But, she just has a natural
talent when it comes to hitting the
ball. Were really excited for her
future.
When you have a week like
Phipps had, you cant help but be
excited.
She began her .583 tear with a 2-
for-2 day at Sequoia that included a
double and triple, good for five
RBIs. From there, Phipps did not let
up. Once again against the
Cherokees, she collected another
pair of hits in four at-bats and added
another RBI.
Then, at the Mission College tour-
nament on Saturday, Phipps went 4-
for-6 at the plate with four runs bat-
ted in. She was also named to the
tournament First team.
With Phipps tearing it up, its no
coincidence the Scots went 4-0 in
that stretch, out-scoring the opposi-
tion 32-3. And more impressively,
the young Scot continues to thrive
with all the competitive pressure
that comes from within Carlmonts
own team.

SHP record-setters moving on
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The names Nico Robinson and
Cameron Van are held in legendary
status at Sacred Heart Prep when
talking track and eld.
And now, their superb efforts both
on the track and in the classroom
have been rewarded with respective
opportunities to compete at the next
level after graduation this May.
Robinson was recognized as the
Most Valuable Track and Field
Athlete in the West Bay Athletic
League last season.
His school record time of 14.91 in
the 110 meter high hurdles is cur-
rently the best in the Central Coast
Section this year. He also owns the
SHP school record in the 330 inter-
mediate hurdles (39.69, third best in
the CCS this season) as well as the
school record in the long jump (22-
8). Robinson announced he will be
attending Dartmouth University
next fall where its reported that the
Big Green hope to leverage his
sprint and jump skills as a top tier
decathlete.
Last year, Van was the lone Gator
(and only one of two WBAL male
representatives) to make it to the
CCS track and eld nals where he
nished among the top eight com-
petitors in the high jump.
This year he is again ranked
among the top high jumpers in the
CCS with a season best jump of 6-2.
He is a two-time all WBAL selec-
tion and owns SHP school records
in the high jump (6-3) as well as the
triple jump (42-8). Van announced
that next fall he will attend
Claremont-McKenna College where
hell participate in both events for
the Stags.
We couldnt be more excited for
both Nico and Cam as they continue
their outstanding track and field
careers, said SHP Athletic Director
Frank Rodriguez. The combination
of academic diligence, extraordi-
nary athleticism and the constant
desire to improve has really paid off
for the both of these terric young
men.

The Peninsula Athletic League
Ocean Division got a glimpse at the
future last week in Woodside fresh-
man pitcher Jamie Kruger.
And the future is a bit scary for
the Ocean.
Kruger pitched 6 1/3 innings of
hitless baseball against Sequoia
High School before surrendering a
single and having to settle for a 1-
hitter in a win for the Wildcats.
Kruger walked four and struck out
six while allowing an unearned run.
The Cherokees bounced back
nicely after Krugers masterpiece.
They beat the Wildcats 11-2, taking
advantage of four errors and pound-
ing out nine hits.
Zane Gelphman had a 3-for-3 at
the plate. But the real hero was
probably pitcher Spencer Smith,
who threw 6 2/3 innings of four-hit,
shutout relief after Woodside put up
a two-spot in the rst inning.
Elsewhere on the baseball dia-
mond, at the Cupertino Lion Club
tournament, Menlo picked up its
10th win after Sam Crowder deliv-
ered a two-out, two-strike single to
right eld that scored the tying and
winning runs to cap off a miraculous
comeback. The Knights were down
6-0 at one point. The hit was
Crowders third of the game. Austin
Marcus had a pair of knocks along
with Adam Greenstein.
It was also a good week for the
Knights Will King, who had a pair
of extra base hits in a 9-7 loss to
OGorman High School and Chris
Atkeson, who gave the Knights ve
solid innings against the very pow-
erful Grandview High School lineup
at the Bishop Gorman Desert
Classic in Las Vegas.
In boys lacrosse and in a loss to
Arizona state champion Brophy
Prep at the Lankenhammer tourna-
ment, SHP got a three-point day
from Noah Kawasaki and Frakie
Hattler.
Hattlers performance against
Brophy came shortly after a four-
goal, four-assist effort against Marin
Catholic.
And nally, at the fourth annual
California Catholic Invitational fea-
turing some of the best swimming
program in the state, SHP represent-
ed well on the girls side.
Ally Howe set an invitational
record with a 55.75 in the 100 meter
buttery. She was also a part of the
200 medley relay team that took rst
place. SHPs 400 freestyle relay
team also took rst.
On the boys side, SHP nished
second and Serra took third.
It was a record-setting day for
Serras Joe Kmak in the 100 meter
breaststroke (58.81). Kmak was also
a part of the 200 meter medley relay
team that took rst place.
Speaking of that team, Zachary
Zamecki took the 200 meter
freestyle race in 1:49.89.
SHPs Bret Hinrichs had a huge
day. He won the 100 meter freestyle,
set a record in the 100 meter back-
stroke and was part of the 400 meter
freestyle relay team that won it for
the Gators.

during Carlmonts win over Sequoia.
top overall seed in the tournament, though
they sure had to work for it.
Louisville trailed Wichita State by a dozen
in the second half of the national seminals,
before rallying for a 72-68 victory. This time,
they fell behind by 12 in the rst half, though
a stunning spurt at the end of the period wiped
out the entire decit.
For that, they can thank Hancock, named
the most outstanding player. He came off the
bench to hit four straight 3-pointers after
Michigan got a boost from an even more
unlikely player, freshman Spike Albrecht. He,
too, made four straight from beyond the arc,
blowing by his career high before the break
with 17 points. Coming in, Albrecht was aver-
aging 1.8 points a game and had not scored
more than seven all season.
While Albrecht didnt do much in the sec-
ond half, Hancock nished what he started for
Louisville. He buried another 3 from the cor-
ner with 3:20 remaining to give the Cardinals
their biggest lead, 76-66. Michigan wouldnt
go away, but Hancock wrapped it up by mak-
ing two free throws with 29 seconds left.
While Pitino shrugged off any attempt to
make this about him, there was no doubt the
Cardinals wanted to win a national title for
someone else injured guard Kevin Ware.
Watching again from his seat at the end of
the Louisville bench, his injured right led
propped up on a chair, Ware smiled and
slapped hands with his teammates as they cel-
ebrated in the closing seconds, the victory
coming just 30 miles from where he played
his high school ball.
Any pain he was feeling from that gruesome
injury in the regional nal, when he landed
awkwardly, snapped his leg and was left
writhing on the oor with the bone sticking
through the skin, was long gone as he hobbled
gingerly onto the court with the aid of crutch-
es, backing in a sea of confetti and streamers.
Peyton Siva added 18 points for the
Cardinals, who closed the season on a 16-
game winning streak, and Chane Behanan
chipped in with 15 points and 12 rebounds as
Louisville slowly but surely closed out the
Wolverines (31-8).
Michigan was in the title game for the rst
time since the Fab Five lost the second of two
straight championship games in 1993. Players
from that team, including Chris Webber,
cheered on the latest group of young stars.
But, like the Fab Five, national player of the
year Trey Burke and a squad with three fresh-
man starters came up short in the last game of
the season.
The rst half mightve been the most enter-
taining 20 minutes of the entire tournament.
Burke started out on re for Michigan, hit-
ting his rst three shots and scoring seven
points to match his output from the seminal
victory over Syracuse, when he made only 1-
of-8 shots.
Then, when Burke sidelined most of the
rst half with two fouls, Albrecht took con-
trol. The kid whose nickname comes from his
rst pair of baseball spikes showed hes a pret-
ty good hoops player, too, knocking down one
3-pointer after another to send the Wolverines
to a double-digit lead.
When Albrecht blew by Tim Henderson
with a brilliant hesitation move, Michigan led
33-21 and Louisville was forced to call time-
out. The freshman was mobbed on the
Michigan bench, like the Wolverines had
already won the national title, with one team-
mate waving a towel in tribute.
Not so fast. Not against Louisville.
The Cardinals just kept coming back.

NCAA
Golden State tandem making
3s at a record-setting pace
By Antonio Gonzalez
OAKLAND At the end of the Golden
State Warriors practice Monday, Stephen
Curry and Klay Thompson
lined up at opposite bas-
kets and engaged in a
shooting contest.
The game was simple:
rst person to make seven
shots from each of the ve
spots beyond the 3-point
line wins. Or, rst person
to miss two shots in a row
loses. Both had two team-
mates one to rebound, and another to make
a clean pass.
Each won once. No tiebreaker needed.
The outcome seemed tting considering
Golden States backcourt tandem has shot its
way to the top together this season. The pair
has combined to make 444 3-pointers, sur-
passing the 435 Orlandos Dennis Scott and
Nick Anderson hit in the 1995-96 season for
the most by any duo in league history.
As for who usually wins when Curry and
Thompson face each other?
Its pretty even, Thompson said. It just
depends on the day, whoever got better sleep
that night.
Entering Tuesday nights game against the
Minnesota Timberwolves, Curry has made
247 shots from beyond the arc and Thompson
has hit 197. Both already have eclipsed Dorell
Wrights franchise record of 194, set two
years ago while shooting 37.6 percent.
Even more impressive might be the rate the
current Warriors tandem has shot.
Curry has hit 45.2 percent of his shots from
3-point range, second only to Atlantas Kyle
Korver (45.5 percent) among players with at
least 150 attempts. Thompson is just shy of 40
percent.
Scott shot 42.5 percent when he set the
NBA record with 267 3-
pointers made a mark
Curry could conceivably
top with five games
remaining. Anderson shot
39 percent that season,
when the Shaquille
ONeal-led Magic lost to
Michael Jordans Chicago
Bulls in the Eastern
Conference nals.
Thats pretty cool of an
accomplishment, to sustain that kind of shoot-
ing all year, Curry said. And for two guys to
do it in the same season, its pretty cool. I
know Klay wouldve broken some records by
himself.
The biggest challenge for the Warriors has
been maximizing the duos abilities.
With both shooting at a historic pace, oppo-
nents have started to chase them off the
perimeter. That has forced Warriors coach
Mark Jackson to often go to a three-guard
lineup at the end of games, with Jarrett Jack at
point guard and Curry and Thompson on the
wings.
Some nights that lineup has been effective.
Others, not.
Sunday nights 97-90 loss to the Utah Jazz
was the latter, when the Warriors wasted a
chance to seal the franchises rst playoff
berth since 2007 and second in 19 years.
Curry, in particular, took just ve shots in the
fourth quarter after scoring 17 points in the
rst half. He nished with 22 points.

they do, then you start making assessments.
But lets face it. The main question is and
has been for the last several seasons: do they
have enough offense? Early returns suggest
Giants fans are in for another wild, torturous
ride one that will feature tough, gritty
pitching and (hopefully) clutch offense.
***
I couldnt help notice during the San
Francisco Giants World Series ring ceremony
Sunday that the rst several players out of
the dugout were not members of the 2010
championship team.
Then I started thinking about it. The only
two regular position players left from the
2010 World Series team were catcher Buster
Posey and third baseman Pablo Sandoval.
The other six everyday positions were
manned by different players only two years
apart.
The one constant between the 2010 and
2012 championship teams is the pitching
staff. Four of the ve starters were on both
teams, as well as a majority of the bullpen.
Has there ever been such a budding dynas-
tic team that won multiple World Series
with a major turnover of the roster? The
Florida Marlins come to mind, but they were
never mistaken for a dynasty.
***
I think the coolest thing the Giants organi-
zation does during these celebrations is
bringing in the teams Hall of Famers
Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan
Marichal, Orlando Cepeda and Gaylord
Perry. Receiving a World Series ring must be
a dream come true for the players, but get-
ting to shake the hands of the games legends
has to be a close second.
The Giants players throwing balls into the
stands as the rst pitch was also cool.
***
Who are the hottest teams in baseball a
week into the season? The Colorado Rockies
had won ve in a row going into San
Francisco Monday night, but the other team
riding a ve-game winning streak? The
Oakland As, who have outscored the opposi-
tion 37-13 during the streak, averaging over
seven runs a game.
After losing their rst two to the Mariners
to open the season, the As beat Seattle in the
back two of the four-game set and then
swept the Astros over the weekend which
is what they are expected to do if they are to
contend for the American League West
again. At 5-2, the As have the best record in
the American League.
Oakland is due for a test the rest of the
month, however. They open a three-game
series in Anaheim against the Angels, fol-
lowed by four against the reigning AL
champs, Detroit Tigers. The As get a
breather with another series against the
Astros, but then close out the month with a
road trip to Tampa Bay and Boston, before
coming home to host the Baltimore Orioles
and Angels. As a KNBR caller said Sunday,
you cant win a division title in April, but
you can lose it. The As wont have to win
them all, but they have to be competitive and
win more series than they lose.

The homer accounted for all of Bostons
runs on the afternoon, as the Red Sox tri-
umphed in their home opener, 3-1.
It was kind of the same thing about the
rst-pitch grand slam, Nava said. I wasnt
trying to do it. It was a situation that I was just
really trying to put a ball in the outeld.
Because if I get a ball in the outeld, we
get a run in.
The home run is Navas second in as many
days, as the switch-hitter joined the Will
Middlebrooks power brigade Sunday in
Toronto. Middlebrooks blasted three home
runs Sunday, including a pair of homers
against reigning National League Cy Young
Award winner R.A. Dickey. Then in the sev-
enth, Middlebrooks and Nava went back-to-
back against reliever David Bush, adding to
Bostons 13-0 win over the Blue Jays.
We have a team that can hit, and hittings
contagious, Nava said. I think [Sunday] was
a good example of that. It was just a good
feel from the top to bottom of the lineup that
we had. We put quite a few runs on the board,
and it was a good day.
Sunday also marked the debut of Nava as a
rst baseman. The last time he played the
position was at CSM, where he had to borrow
a teammates glove. In spring training this
year though, the new Boston coaching staff
led by first-year Red Sox manager John
Farrell approached Nava about playing
rst base to add some versatility to the switch-
hitting outelders resume.
Ive been actually working at rst base this
whole spring training, and they let me know in
advance, Nava said. I knew it was some-
thing they were very interested in me doing.
So it was nothing that caught me off guard. I
actually had a glove sent to me when I rst got
out to spring training a couple months ago.
I obviously didnt know how it was going to
play out. But it allowed me a chance to play
[Sunday]. So that was obviously a good
thing.
In addition to Farrell taking over at the
helm, the Red Sox have added an array of new
coaches, including hitting coach Greg
Colbrunn and assistant hitting coach Victor
Rodriguez.
Rodriguez has been Bostons roving minor-
league hitting instructor since 2007, the year
before Nava signed with the organization out
of the independent Golden League. Nava said
the new coaching staff has set an entirely dif-
ferent tone in the Red Sox clubhouse. The
team has responded, jumping atop the
American League Eastern Division standings
with a 5-2 record to start the season.
It really has (changed the tone), Nava
said. From the manager, all the way down to
everyone who is new this year, they really
changed the environment of the clubhouse.
We have a bunch of guys who are grinders,
who are good players, grind games out, and
play the game the right way. Thats not to say
the guys we had last year werent. Its just that
with the change and the turnover with the
guys they brought in, its just a huge focus of
their game.

NBA PLAYOFF RACE GLANCE
PHILADELPHIA With per-
haps billions of dollars at stake, a
hearing Tuesday over concussion
litigation filed against the NFL
promises to be a contest between
legal lions.
About 4,200 former players have
sued the league. Some suffer from
dementia, depression, Alzheimers
disease and other neurological
problems. Others simply want their
health monitored.
And a small number, including
Ray Easterling and 12-time Pro
Bowler Junior Seau, committed sui-
cide after long downward spirals.
The players lawyers accuse the
NFL of promoting violence in the
game and concealing known cogni-
tive risks from concussions and
other blows to the head. They hope
to keep the litigation in federal
court so they can use the discovery
process to access NFL les and
see what the league knew when.
The NFL failed to live up to its
responsibility: it negligently height-
ened players exposure to repeated
head trauma and fraudulently con-
cealed the chronic brain injuries
that resulted, the players lawyers
wrote in their latest brief, led in
January.
The NFL, with $9.2 billion in
annual revenues, argues that the
complaints belong in arbitration
under terms of the collective bar-
gaining agreement. The league
insists it has always followed the
best available science and made
player safety a top priority.
The rule in our league is simple:
Medical decisions override every-
thing else, NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell said in a speech last
month at the University of North
Carolina.
The NFL will be represented
Tuesday by Paul Clement, a former
U.S. solicitor general under
President George W. Bush who has
fought gay marriage, gun-control
measures and President Barack
Obamas state health care mandates
before the Supreme Court.
Players lawyer David Frederick,
an Obama ally, has taken consumer
protection ghts over investor fees
and prescription drug warnings to
the high court.
They spend most of their time,
Paul Clement and David Frederick,
at the Supreme Court, said Paul
Anderson, a Missouri lawyer who
tracks the NFL litigation on his
w e b s i t e ,
nflconcussionlitigation.com. This
is really a multibillion-dollar issue.
Thats why both parties went out
and hired the best of the best.
Senior U.S. District Judge Anita
B. Brody of Philadelphia will hear
the case and decide whether the
lawsuits stay in federal court or are
pre-empted by the collective bar-
gaining agreements.
Scores of related lawsuits around
the country have been steered to her
because she had been assigned the
2011 Easterling suit, the rst to be
led.
If Brody sides with the players,
she would then rule on some broad-
er issues, which are expected to
include hard-fought battles over the
science of concussions and brain
injuries, along with the players
claims of fraud and negligence.

SAN JOSE A near-perfect homestand
catapulted the San Jose Sharks from a erce
ght just to make it into the NHL playoffs to
a battle for home-ice advantage in the opening
round.
If the Sharks are going to have any hope of
winning that race and nishing in the top four
in the Western Conference, they are going to
need to take the momentum they built during
their recent seven-game winning streak and
bring it out on the road, where they have had
problems all season.
San Jose left Monday for a four-game trip
that begins Tuesday night in Columbus. The
Sharks will play six of their nal 10 games on
the road, where they are just 6-10-2 this sea-
son.
Theres been a certain
way weve played since
weve been home, for-
ward Joe Pavelski said.
Its been a fairly simple
game. On the road thats
one of the things you
focus on, keeping it sim-
ple, keeping the crowd out
of it. Dont kill yourself
with turnovers and stuff.
We did that pretty well here while we were at
home. Lets try to take that formula on the
road.
The Sharks turned their season around when
they followed a win at rst-place Anaheim
with six straight at home to go from ninth
place to fourth in the Western Conference.
Then just when it seemed like they could do
no wrong, the Sharks blew a pair of two-goal
leads in the homestand nale against Dallas
on Sunday and ultimately fell 5-4 in a
shootout, missing a chance to post the longest
perfect homestand in NHL history.
San Jose leaves home in fth place in the
West, one point behind Los Angeles with one
game in hand over the Kings. The Sharks
entered play Monday with a seven-point lead
over ninth place Phoenix, giving them a bit of
a cushion in terms of making the playoffs.
We jumped up a few spots in the stand-
ings, forward Tommy Wingels said. We
knew this homestand was important. In the
big picture were happy about it but theres a
bitter feeling right now. There are things we
need to clean up and move forward.
Giving the Sharks increased condence was
the fact that this seven-game winning streak
was more complete than the franchise record
seven-gamer to start the season.
With no preseason and an abbreviated train-
ing camp because of the lockout, the Sharks
took advantage of continuity to get off to a fast
start. They converted on 31 percent of their
power-play chances in that span, with almost
all of the scoring being done by the quartet of
Patrick Marleau, Joe Thornton, Logan
Couture and Pavelski. They accounted for 21
of the 27 goals in the rst seven games and
combined for 50 points.
With defenseman Brent Burns moving up to
forward recently to combine for a productive
line with Thornton and Marty Havlat, and
Pavelski dropping to the third line to add
depth, the scoring was much more spread out
during the second streak with 12 players get-
ting goals and only Pavelski scoring more
than three.
I think were playing the right way right
now, give or take segments of games where
we let it get away from us, coach Todd
McLellan said. Right now were playing the
type of hockey that allows us to win consis-
tently. At the beginning of the year, scoring
ve or six goals a night, we looked like the
Globetrotters there for a while in Edmonton
when everything was going our way. We
werent going to continue playing that way. I
think were playing a better brand of game
right now. That sets us up for success.
That wasnt happening during a seven-week
stretch in the middle of the season when San
Jose lost 17 of 23 games and earned just three
regulation wins, raising questions about
whether the team would miss the playoffs for
the rst time since 2002-03.
General manager Doug Wilson then dealt
bruising defenseman Douglas Murray to
Pittsburgh for draft picks as he started a
process of retooling the roster for the future
without totally giving up on this season.
Trades of little-used center Michal Handzus
and longtime stalwart Ryane Clowe followed.
But as the teams play turned around before
last weeks trade deadline, Wilson ended up
adding reinforcements in deals for forward
Raf Torres and defenseman Scott Hannan
because he felt like this team could make a run
in the postseason.
Its not just winning games, its playing the
right way, Wilson said. Weve played the
right way the rst seven games of the year and
went through a long streak of not playing the
right way. But the coaching staff and players
are playing a really good 60-minute game and
when they play that way I think we can play
with anybody.
Torres made an immediate impact in his
rst game on Sunday, assisting on two goals
and delivering the hard hits than made him
reviled in San Jose when he was with the
opposition.
Sharks hope to bring home
success on next road trip

Young Master: Chinese 14-
year-old looking for fun
AUGUSTA, Ga. Guan Tianlang is in
good company this week at Augusta National.
He played a practice round Monday with
two-time Masters champion Ben Crenshaw,
then headed out in the afternoon with Tiger
Woods. He has a game lined up Tuesday with
Tom Watson, an eight-time major champion.
On Wednesday, he plans to play the Par 3
Tournament with Nick Faldo, winner of six
majors.
Cant he play with someone his own age?
Not at this Masters.
Guan is the 14-year-old from China, the
youngest to ever play in the Masters and the
youngest player at any major in 148 years. He
qualied by winning the Asia Pacic Amateur
Championship last fall in Thailand, and now
he gets a crack at the best in the game, on one
of the most famous golf courses in the world.
Nerves? So far, only a big smile.
Im really excited in the morning when I
come out on the course and theres many peo-
ple here, Guan said Monday, conducting his
news conference in English with a Chinese
translator at his side in case he needed help.
He rarely did.
The kid has shown to be special in many
ways.
He went wire-to-wire in the Asia Pacic
amateur, and he wasnt even rattled on the
nal hole at Amata Spring Country Club. With
a belly putter he had been using for about six
months, he calmly rapped in a 5-foot par putt
for the one-shot win and a drive down
Magnolia Lane in the passenger seat, of
course.
Age seems to have no limits these days in
golf.
Tiger Woods was 21 when he set 20 records
to win the 1997 Masters. Sergio Garcia was 19
when he nearly beat Woods in the PGA
Championship two years later. Morgan Pressel
was 18 when she won a major championship
on the LPGA Tour. Lydia Ko was 15 when she
won the Womens Canadian Open last year on
the LPGA Tour.
Even so, this is the Masters.
Guan is 14, the only player in the eld who
brought his eighth-grade homework with him
to Augusta National.
Giants back to winning ways
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Hunter Pence hit a
three-run homer in the rst inning that held
up, Buster Posey added a late RBI single and
the San Francisco Giants snapped the
Colorado Rockies five-
game winning streak with
a 4-2 victory Monday
night.
Madison Bumgarner (2-
0) won his sixth in a row
against the Rockies and
owns a seven-start unbeat-
en run in the rivalry. The
left-hander began his
career 0-3 against
Colorado in ve starts.
He struck out ve and walked ve in 5 2-3
innings Monday, allowing two runs and ve
hits.
One of those was Carlos Gonzalezs long
two-run homer to right in the third. The ball
bounced off the pathway and splashed into
McCovey Cove.
San Francisco extended its winning streak
against the Rockies to seven games and
bounced back from a 14-3 loss to St. Louis a
day earlier when ace Matt Cain was tagged for
nine runs in the fourth inning.
Michael Cuddyer had two hits and stole his
rst base for a Rockies team that had won ve
in a row since losing its opener 5-4 in 10
innings at Milwaukee. Dexter Fowler had his
six-game hitting streak to start the season
snapped as he went 0 for 4 with two strike-
outs.
Pence sent the rst pitch he saw from Jorge
De La Rosa (0-1) deep into the bleachers in
left-center for one of the hardest, longest balls
he has hit at home since joining the Giants last
July. Pablo Sandoval singled twice and scored
a run.
The reigning World Series champions
returned to a more normal routine after three
straight days of celebrations the ag raising
Friday for the home opener, Poseys NL MVP
presentation Saturday and then Sundays ring
ceremony.
Bumgarner pitched a 1-2-3 rst, then issued
at least one walk in each of the next four
innings. After Cuddyer drew a leadoff walk in
the fourth, Bumgarner was helped by a double
play to get out of it unscathed.

The beeping devices include those that measure blood
pressure and heart rate among other things. Some beep
when theres an emergency, and some beep when theyre
not working.That can lead to noise fatigue and the delay in
treating a patient can endanger lives, the accreditation
commission says.
By Lindsey Tanner
CHICAGO Constantly beeping
alarms from devices that monitor the
vital signs of the critically ill have
desensitized hospital workers who
sometimes ignore the noise, leading to at
least two dozen deaths a year on aver-
age, a hospital accrediting group said
Monday.
And these cases are probably vastly
underreported, said the Joint
Commission in an alert to hospitals call-
ing attention to the problem.
The beeping devices include those that
measure blood pressure and heart rate
among other things. Some beep when
theres an emergency, and some beep
when theyre not working. That can lead
to noise fatigue and the delay in treating
a patient can endanger lives, the accred-
itation commission says.
Complicating the situation is the abun-
dance of technology, with no standardi-
zation for what the beeps mean, said Dr.
Ana McKee, the commissions executive
vice president and chief medical ofcer.
The commissions estimate of possible
deaths related to the problem is consid-
erably lower than the reports it found in
a U.S. Food and drug Administration
database. The FDA lists more than 500
deaths potentially linked with hospital
alarms between January 2005 and June
2010. But that includes mandatory
reports of malfunctions and in some
cases the connection to a death is only
tenuous.
The commissions own database
reports 80 deaths and 13 severe injuries
between January 2009 and June 2012.
Hospitals voluntarily report these to the
commission, which reviews them and in
these cases determined there was a clear
connection to the device, said McKee.
There likely are far more problems
than have been reported, partly because
ignoring or misinterpreting an alarm
may have set off a chain of events that
led to an injury or death, she explained.
But tracing back to that rst oversight
can be difcult, McKee said.
Alarm-system events included patient
falls, delays in treatment and medication
errors that resulted in injury or death, the
Joint Commission said.
The most common factor was alarm
fatigue. But other problems included
misinterpreting alarm signals, too few
staffers to respond to alarms, and equip-
ment malfunctions.
With the proliferation of technology,
alarms, and a lack of standardization,
its more challenging for doctors and
nurses to respond adequately, McKee
said.
The commission said hospital leaders
need to address the problem and train
staffers in safe alarm management.
The organization accredits more than
10,000 U.S. hospital and health care
organizations. Hospitals covet accredita-
tion and following commission advice is
key to maintaining it.
Hospital group says alarm fatigue can be deadly

WASHINGTON The loud, insistent calls
in Washington to rein in the rising costs of
Social Security and Medicare ignore a major
and expensive entitlement program the
militarys health care system.
Despite dire warnings from three defense
secretaries about the uncontrollable cost,
Congress has repeatedly rebuffed Pentagon
efforts to establish higher out-of-pocket fees
and enrollment costs for military family and
retiree health care as an initial step in address-
ing a harsh scal reality. The cost of military
health care has almost tripled since 2001,
from $19 billion to $53 billion in 2012, and
stands at 10 percent of the entire defense
budget.
Even more daunting, the Congressional
Budget Ofce estimates that military health
care costs could reach $65 billion by 2017 and
$95 billion by 2030.
On Wednesday, when President Barack
Obama submits his scal 2014 budget, the
Pentagon blueprint is expected to include sev-
eral congressionally unpopular proposals
requests for two rounds of domestic base clos-
ings in 2015 and 2017, a pay raise of only 1
percent for military personnel and a revival of
last years plan to increase health care fees
and implement new ones, according to sever-
al defense analysts.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel insisted
this past week that the military has no choice
as it faces a $487 billion reduction in project-
ed spending over the next decade and possibly
tens of billions more as tea partyers and other
fiscal conservatives embrace automatic
spending cuts as the best means to reduce the
governments trillion-dollar decit.
The greatest scal threat to the military is
not declining budgets, Hagel warned, but
rather the growing imbalance in where that
money is being spent internally. In other
words, money dedicated to health care or ben-
ets is money thats not spent on preparing
troops for battle or pilots for missions.
Hagel echoed his predecessors, Leon
Panetta, who said personnel costs had put the
Pentagon on an unsustainable course, and
former Pentagon chief Robert Gates, who
bluntly said in 2009 that health care is eating
the department alive.
In his speech last past week, Hagel quoted
retired Adm. Gary Roughead, the former
Navy chief, who offered a devastating assess-
ment of the future Pentagon.
Without changes, Roughead said, the
department could be transformed from an
agency protecting the nation to an agency
administering benet programs, capable of
buying only limited quantities of irrelevant
and overpriced equipment.
The militarys health care program, known
as TRICARE, provides health coverage to
nearly 10 million active duty personnel,
retirees, reservists and their families.
Currently, retirees and their dependents out-
number active duty members and their fami-
lies 5.5 million to 3.3 million.
Powerful veterans groups, retired military
ofcer associations and other opponents of
shifting more costs to beneciaries argue that
members of the armed forces make extraordi-
nary sacrices and endure hardships unique to
the services, ones even more pronounced after
a decade-plus of wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
Members of the military have faced repeat-
ed deployments, had to uproot their families
for constant moves and deal with limits on
buying a home or a spouse establishing a
career because of their transient life.
Retirement pay and low health care costs are
vital to attracting members of the all-volun-
teer military.
If you dont take care of people, theyre
not going to enlist, theyre not going to re-
enlist, said Joe Davis, a spokesman for the
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Resistance in Congress to health care
changes was evident in the recently passed
spending bill to keep the government running
through Sept. 30. Tucked into the sweeping
bill was a single provision stating emphatical-
ly that none of the funds made available by
this act may be used by the secretary of
defense to implement an enrollment fee for
the TRICARE for Life program.
The program provides no-fee supplemental
insurance to retirees 65 and older who are eli-
gible for Medicare. The Pentagon repeatedly
has pushed for establishment of a fee, only to
face congressional opposition.
The provision in the spending bill blocking
an enrollment fee had widespread support
among Republicans and Democrats, accord-
ing to congressional aides. The Pentagon,
nonetheless, is expected to ask again in the
2014 budget for an enrollment fee.
The department also is likely to seek
increases in fees and deductibles for working-
age retirees and try again to peg increases in
them to rising costs as measured by the
national health care expenditure index pro-
duced by the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services. That index rose 4.2 per-
cent in 2012 and is projected rise by 3.8 per-
cent this year.

SAN FRANCISCO A trial began on
Monday in a lawsuit led by an environmental
group against the nations largest baby food
makers aimed at forcing the companies to alert
consumers that some products contains low
amounts of lead.
The trial will help determine if the products
must carry warning labels in California.
Gerber Products Co., Del Monte Foods,
Beech-Nut Nutrition Corp. and many other
makers of baby foods and juices are selling
products containing lead at levels that require
warning labels under California Proposition
65, the Environmental Law Foundation asserts
in the suit led in Alameda County Superior
Court in Oakland.
Lawyers for the food companies say the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration tested products
targeted in the lawsuit and decided levels were
below the federal standards that require a
warning.
FDA tests on products named in the lawsuit
also found lead levels below FDAs current
tolerable intake levels for lead.
But both sides in the case agree on one fact:
Baby foods containing carrots, peaches, pears
and sweet potatoes have some lead. Also cov-
ered by the suit are grape juice and fruit cock-
tail. Lead exposure can damage a childs devel-
oping brain and lead to a lower IQ. Overall,
lead poisoning in the U.S. has declined signif-
icantly since it was removed from paints and
gasoline formulas.
Still, more than 500,000 U.S. children are
believed to have lead poisoning, according to
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
Old paint, contaminated drinking water and
soil tainted by old leaded gasoline are primary
sources of lead exposure for children in the
U.S., the CDC reported. Some specialists
describe children as having lead poisoning
only when high levels of lead are present.
Others use the term more broadly to describe
any child with levels that can impact intelli-
gence or cause other harm.
The companies argue that the lead in fruit
and vegetables used in the products is natural-
ly occurring. If the trial judge nds that is true,
it could exempt the companies from having to
warn consumers.

changing parking from slanted to paral-
lel and thinning the avenues two lanes
to a total of 20 feet. Sidewalks will also
be widened from 10 feet to 16 feet with
bulb-outs to allow for smaller pedestrian
crossing areas. The design will include
more landscaping and outside dining
space. On Monday, the City Council and
staff celebrated the start of the $16.5
million project. While all were excited to
get started, many joked about the humor
that will come from watching people
parallel park on the revamped downtown
street.
Councilman Jerry Deal was the rst to
comment on the new parking congura-
tion, urging everyone to pay attention.
Work actually started on the utilities
last night. The effort to re-enliven the
area, as Mayor Ann Keighran put it, is
the rst major work to Burlingames
downtown since the 70s.
Today is our rst step of our raised
bar of expectations, she said.
In February, the City Council
approved $16.5 million in plans to cover
construction management, field engi-
neering and public service outreach. The
work will be performed by Robert A.
Bothman, Inc. of San Jose. Utilities
work started last night at Burlingame
Avenue and California Drive then heads
west, said Public Works Director Syed
Murtuza. By early May, the effort will
start on the north side near Lorton
Avenue and Primrose Road. Businesses
will remain open during all work. Work
will be done both during the day and
night, to speed up the process, said
Murtuza, who added the project will be
a signature development for the
Peninsula and hopefully the state.
Its expected to be complete by the end
of summer 2014.
Property owners were also on hand to
laud the work that will soon revitalize
the area. Ron Karp was happy that so
many people were able to come together
to make the plan a reality. Nick Delis
agreed, adding that, once complete,
Burlingame Avenue will put the town on
the map.
Paying for the plan comes through a
variety of funding sources. In May,
property owners voted to create an
assessment district to support the work.
Funding will also come from water and
sewer enterprise funds, state gas tax and
county transportation tax funds, grants
and capital improvement funds, revenue
from the assessment district and
increased parking meter rates.
During construction, those in the
Burlingame Avenue area should expect
changes to travel patterns and lane direc-
tion, possible road closures, detours and
narrower pedestrian walkways, heavy
equipment along the road which may
block some streets or parking spaces,
dust due to heavy machinery digging
and tearing down structures or pave-
ments, uneven pavement, water, sewer
and gas shutoff at certain hours of the
day and construction-related noise,
according to the city website.

laterals that can lead to sewage over-
ows and potential nes for the city.
The city has undertaken a series of
measures to reduce inow and inltra-
tion including a smoke-testing program
and FOG program in which restaurants
and other businesses are made aware of
the fat, oil and grease that harm the
sewer system.
There is also a permit-driven sewer
lateral inspection program for when
property owners make significant
remodels to their homes of $50,000 or
more.
The point-of-sale mandate, however,
dominated most of the councils discus-
sion when it last took up the issue two
months ago.
Some cities in the county already have
the mandate but that is due to a court
order after pollution watchdog San
Francisco Baykeeper sued several cities
after excessive sewage waste owed into
freshwater creeks and the Bay. Pacica,
South San Francisco, Millbrae and
Burlingame already require the inspec-
tions at the point of sale but Belmont is
not required to.
Paul Stewart, the government affairs
director for SAMCAR, told the council
in January that it should adopt the ordi-
nance but not make the inspection man-
dated at the point of sale.
Councilman Warren Lieberman even
offered up his own motion at the last
meeting to simply require a disclosure
form between the seller and buyer at the
point of sale to let the buyer know that
there could be potential problems with
the lateral and the city would ultimately
require it to be fixed. His motion
received no support, however.
At the last meeting in January, resident
Greg Bryant said the ordinance the
council considered that night would only
x the citys sewer lateral problems after
every single resident sells their home
and leaves town.
The point-of-sale options the council
will consider tonight are:
No requirement at point of sale;
Seller disclosure without an inspec-
tion required;
Seller disclosure with inspection and
repair (if needed) completed by buyer
within 180 days of close of escrow;
Inspection before close of escrow
and repair (if needed) completed by
buyer within 180 days of close of escrow
and;
Inspection and repair (if needed)
completed before the close of escrow.

p.m., tonight, City Hall, 1 Twin Pines
Lane, Belmont.

the distraction the driver faces when
using his or her hands to operate the
phone. That distraction would be pres-
ent whether the wireless telephone was
being used as a telephone, a GPS navi-
gator, a clock or a device for sending
and receiving text messages and
emails.
The ruling doesnt apply outside of
Fresno County.
Nevertheless, Spriggs said he is trou-
bled that police can now pull over
motorists they suspect of simply hold-
ing their mobile phones.
Spriggs, a fundraiser for Fresno State
University, said hes unsure if he has the
time or money to pursue further appeals
to the California Court of Appeal and
the state Supreme Court.
Im just a little guy who is frustrat-
ed, Spriggs said. I dont see how they
can extend this law.
He actually supports the prohibition
on texting and conversing on hand-held
devices while driving, saying his adult
sons leg was badly broken in 2010
when he was struck by a motorist who
was chatting on a mobile phone.
Judge Hamlin acknowledged in his
ruling that changes in the law may be
needed.
It may be argued that the Legislature
acted arbitrarily when it outlawed all
hands-on use of a wireless telephone
while driving, even though the legal use
of ones hands to operate myriad other
devices poses just as great a risk to the
safety of other motorists, the judge
wrote in the March 21 ruling. It may
also be argued that prohibiting driving
while using electronic wireless com-
munications devices for texting and
emailing, while acknowledging and fail-
ing to prohibit perhaps even more dis-
tracting uses of the same devices, is
equally illogical and arbitrary.
But the judge said its up to the
Legislature to amend the law. Until
then, Hamlin wrote, courts are com-
pelled to deem illegal nearly all uses of
hand-held phone by motorists.

a lien, not on a property itself. Placing
the highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you
are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to in-
vestigate the existence, priority, and size
of outstanding liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county record-
er's office or a title insurance company,
either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware
that the lender may hold more than one
mortgage or deed of trust on the proper-
ty. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER
The sale date shown on this notice of
sale may be postponed one or more
times by the mortgagee, beneficiary,
trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California Civil Code. The
law requires that information about trust-
ee sale postponements be made availa-
ble to you and to the public, as a courte-
sy to those not present at the sale. If you
wish to learn whether your sale date has
been postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call 1-800-281-

ments that are very short in duration or
that occur close in time to the scheduled

WORLD 28
By Gregory Katz and Robert Barr
LONDON Love her or loathe her, one
things beyond dispute: Margaret Thatcher
transformed Britain.
The Iron Lady, who ruled for 11 remarkable
years, imposed her will on a fractious, run-
down nation breaking the unions, triumph-
ing in a far-off war, and selling off state indus-
tries at a record pace. She left behind a leaner
government and more prosperous nation by the
time a political mutiny ousted her from No. 10
Downing Street.
Thatchers spokesman, Tim Bell, said the
former prime minister died from a stroke
Monday morning at the Ritz hotel in London.
As flags were flown at half-staff at
Buckingham Palace, Parliament and Downing
Street for the 87-year-old, praise for Thatcher
and her leadership poured in from around the
world.
Margaret Thatcher undoubtedly was one of
the most remarkable political gures of the
modern world, said Russian President
Vladimir Putin.
Putin said Thatcher made a signicant con-
tribution to the development of the Soviet-
British and Russian-British ties, which we will
always remember with gratitude.
President Barack Obama said many
Americans will never forget her standing
shoulder to shoulder with President (Ronald)
Reagan, reminding the world that we are not
simply carried along by the currents of history.
We can shape them with moral conviction,
unyielding courage and iron will.
Queen Elizabeth II authorized a ceremonial
funeral a step short of a state funeral to
be held for Thatcher at St. Pauls Cathedral in
London next week with military honors.
Prime Minister David Cameron cut short a
trip to Madrid and Paris to return to Britain fol-
lowing news of Thatchers death, and said
Parliament would be recalled from recess on
Wednesday so lawmakers could pay tribute.
For admirers, Thatcher was a savior who res-
cued Britain from ruin and laid the groundwork
for an extraordinary economic renaissance. For
critics, she was a heartless tyrant who ushered
in an era of greed that kicked the weak out onto
the streets and let the rich become lthy rich.
Let us not kid ourselves. She was a very
divisive figure, said Bernard Ingham,
Thatchers press secretary for her entire term.
She was a real toughie. She was a patriot with
a great love for this country, and she raised the
standing of Britain abroad.
Thatcher was the rst and still only
female prime minister in Britains history. But
she often found feminists tiresome.
Her boxy, black handbag became such a rec-
ognizable part of her image that her way of
dressing down ministers and opponents
became known as handbagging.
A grocers daughter, she rose to the top of
Britains snobbish hierarchy the hard way, and
envisioned a classless society that rewarded
hard work and determination.
She was a trailblazer who at rst believed
trailblazing impossible: Thatcher told the
Liverpool Daily Post in 1974 that she did not
think a woman would serve as party leader or
prime minister during her lifetime.
Margaret Thatcher, Iron Lady, dead at 87
By Tom Raum
WASHINGTON Margaret Thatcher and
Ronald Reagan, two self-assured and rm-
speaking conservatives, joined forces in the
early 1980s and drastically changed the eco-
nomic and political landscapes in both of
their countries.
Their calls for more-austere government
and lower taxes still resonate with conserva-
tives on both sides of the Atlantic. And their
side-by-side standing up to Soviet commu-
nism is credited by those of all political
stripes as hastening the end of the Cold War.
Thatcher died Monday in London of a
stroke at 87.
The British prime minister and the
American president had the kind of personal
bond that is extremely rare at such high lev-
els of power.
She was the rst and last White House
State Dinner guest during Reagans eight-
year presidency. And when he died in 2004,
at 93 after suffering for years with
Alzheimers disease, a frail Thatcher attend-
ed his state funeral.
They had similar backgrounds and in
some ways could understand what the other
was experiencing, said Heather Conley,
director of Europe programs for the Center
for Strategic and International Studies in
Washington.
And they had unique solidarity. They
were tough, they were single-minded in
many ways. Some have argued that that lack
of complexity was their shortcoming. But in
some ways, their focus was their strength,
Conley said.
Reagan and Thatcher forged a special
friendship from the very beginning, the rst
time they met, former rst lady Nancy
Reagan said Monday.
I loved it that she and Ronnie were as
close as they were, she told Fox News.
Thatcher led Britains Conservative Party
to three election victories, governing from
1979 to 1990. Reagan was president from
1981 to 1989.
Both cut income taxes deeply and reined in
national government spending. Both favored
privatizing many government functions.
Both stood up to organized labor. Both tack-
led ination. Both were strong advocates of
free markets and increased open internation-
al trade.

LONDON It went beyond the Big Bang.
Margaret Thatcher transformed the British
economy over little more than a decade in
ofce. She introduced free-market policies that
helped the country throw off its postwar
malaise and shook up the cozy world of banks
and brokers with a urry of deregulation
which came to be known as the Big Bang
that made London one of the worlds pre-emi-
nent nancial centers.
But while Thatcher ushered in an era of
unprecedented economic growth, her legacy on
economic issues remains divisive. Some argue
her policies also sowed the seeds for the 2008
nancial crisis. Meanwhile, the economy is on
the verge of another recession and she is still
reviled by unions who say she ignored the
needs of workers and the poor.
To supporters, she changed Britain from a
nation in long term industrial decline to an
energetic, dynamic economy. To opponents,
she entrenched inequalities between the regions
and classes, and placed the free market above
all other concerns, Richard Carr, a political
historian at Anglia Ruskin University said in
statement. Our politics, and many of our
politicians, have been forged in her legacy.
When Thatcher arrived at 10 Downing Street
in May 1979, Britains rst female prime min-
ister set about smashing the existing economic
order. Along with her conservative soulmate,
President Ronald Reagan, she rejected the way
economic policy had been conducted since the
end of World War II in favor of a focus on free
market ideology that is accepted by most of the
world today.
The woman who said she learned to be careful
with money by watching her green-grocer father
sought to reduce the governments footprint in
the economy, diminished labor unions powers
and overhauled Londons nancial center.
In 1986, just a year before the movie Wall
Street coined the phrase greed is good,
Thatcher pushed through a urry of reforms,
the so-called Big Bang, which broke up the
boys club culture that dominated the City of
London. The changes allowed international
banks like Goldman Sachs to step in and
attracted a river of foreign business.
It changed the nancial services sector and
the country.
The Big Bang paved the way for the spec-
tacular growth of the nancial services industry
in the U.K., said Iain Begg, a professor from
the London School of Economcis. It went
from a relatively cozy banking center doing
business with the rest of the world to a major
league player earning money from the rest of
the world.
