KERRY TAMPS ANXIETY OVER NORTH KOREA
MISSILE POWER

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
For many folks, making the easy
trip to the grocery store and pluck-
ing that desired item off the shelf is
not enough anymore. California
consumers are increasingly opting
to buy directly from farmers.
This growing demand for direct
e x c h a n g e s
between the
farmer and the
consumer has
led the
Department of
Food and
Agriculture to
establish regula-
tions for farm-
ers markets.
A California Farmers Market
certication assures market goers
that the food being sold is actually
grown on the farms represented.
The direct marketing of agricul-
tural products from small farms is
something Assemblyman Rich
Gordon, D-Menlo Park, says the
state needs to encourage further. He
is proposing a certication process
for Community-Supported
Agriculture, or CSA.
Like farmers markets, CSAs are
growing in number in California.
Farmers can directly market their
food to community members by
allowing them to invest in a share of
a farm in exchange for a portion of
the farms yield. This farm share
can come in the form of a regular
produce delivery basket or some
other portion of an animal or crop.
More and more people have a
real interest in being connected to
the source of their food, said
Gordon. They want it to be as close
and local as possible, and

The New Home Company wants to hear from Foster City
residents about what amenities and features it would like to see
in the senior housing project planned for the last big chunk of
vacant land in the city the 15 acres tucked between City
Hall and the Peninsula Jewish Community Center.
In October, the City Council picked Foster City Community
Partners to build on the site, which it will purchase for $30
million, and The New Home Company is acting as lead devel-
oper for a senior residential community at the site with about
400 units of housing and 30,000 square feet of retail space.

More than a decade in the making, the
Peninsula Museum of Art and the
Peninsula Art Institute have found a new
home.
The 18,000-square-foot Burlingame
location serves as a mecca for local
artists and the community at large. Ruth
Waters, the museum founder, chair and
executive director, has been in the art
community since the 1960s. She and
members of the Peninsula Art Council
gathered in 1997 to identify and assess
the absence of a museum and perform-
ing arts center in San Mateo County,
Waters said.
Waters dedicated dream was realized
in 2003 when the city of Belmont
offered a lease at the Manor House in
Twin Pines Park. The small site served
as a stepping stone toward the new loca-
tion nine times larger.
We think of Burlingame as the per-
fect location for us and, in return, we
expect to be able to contribute a valuable
community cultural resource, Waters
said.
The museum and institute are com-
prised of ve gallery spaces, a library, a
classroom, a store and 28 working
artists studios.
Unlike many large-scale museums
found in San Francisco, coveted work-
space is available onsite for some of the
nest local artists. The studios are in
high demand due to their accessibility
and affordable rent prices. Occupying

Cheerleading isnt traditionally thought of
as a sport for guys, but two Sequoia High
School juniors found themselves loving the
spirited group.
This season, the Cherokees team took rst
place in the United Spirit Association High
School Nationals competition in the co-ed
division, which requires two or more guys to
be on the team. The competition, which hap-
pened last month, was the icing on the cake
for two guys 18-year-olds German Barajas
and Lorenzo Bruni who decided to give
cheerleading a chance this year.
Cheerings a family, said Barajas. I cant
live without it. All the girls are like sisters.
Bruni, an exchange student from Italy,
agreed. A gymnast, Bruni joined the team in
the fall in hopes of continuing to practice.
Since joining, he said he formed stronger
bonds, participated in a sport that doesnt exist
in his home country and got a chance to prac-
tice his English.
Adding guys onto a squad often enhances
the stunts. Last year, Sequoias squad had one
guy, not enough to move the team into the co-
ed division. Barajas took that spot and has
enjoyed the challenges. When Bruni came on,
the team entered a new division. Sequoias
competition squad is made up of members
from both the junior varsity and varsity
squads, said coach Stacy Morell. This years
routine was choreographed over the summer,
before the squad knew they would be compet-
ing in the co-ed division. As a result, it didnt
really highlight the boys, said Morell. Now
the team is hoping to continue to grow the
number of guys and become a stronger force
in the co-ed division, she said.
Being that Barajas and Bruni were both
new, neither knew what to expect when taking
the nationals stage in Southern California last
month. There was a team with seven guys
which both boys mentioned intimidated them.
But the win despite having fewer guys
enlivened both juniors.
Im excited for the whole team, said
Barajas.
Bruni, who will be returning back to Italy,
cant continue on the team next year. Despite
that, he thinks more guys should give it a try.

County seeks $2M for clinics
The head of the countys public hospital is
seeking a $2 million grant from the Sequoia

The request isnt unusual for Dr. Susan
Ehrlich and the San Mateo Medical Center
the health care district has already con-
tributed millions to the clinics for the care of
the low-income and under or uninsured. On

the new South County Health Center which is
expected to open later this year.
The Peninsula Health Care District also

Senior care home
burglarized by utility worker
A nurse at a senior care home had $800
stolen from her purse after being distracted
by a man posing as a utility worker on the 400
block of Acacia Avenue in South San
Francisco Thursday afternoon, according to
police.
At approximately 3:32 p.m., the nurse
heard the doorbell and answered the front
door where she was greeted by a man who
appeared to be a utility worker. He asked if he
could speak to her about the overhead wiring
on the side yard. She followed him outside
where they spoke for ve to 10 minutes,
according to police.
She had left the front door open and dis-
covered that her purse was moved and the
money was missing from it after the man had
left, according to police.
Police believe the man had acted as a dis-
traction while another or others entered the
home and burglarized it. The man is
described as white, approximately 50, with
black hair. He was wearing a black baseball
hat, a dark blue uniform and brown shoes. He
had a lanyard around his neck with an
unknown type of identification badge,
according to police.

A cancer patient who reportedly set a re in
his county hospital room and threatened a
nurse with a knife before a two-hour standoff
with police will learn in mid-summer if hell
stand trial on arson and assault charges.
Zavtcho Stoyanov, 51, has pleaded not
guilty and on Friday scheduled a July 19 pre-
liminary hearing. Meanwhile, he remains free
in the custody of his friends as long as he
maintains contact with the court ve times a
week.
The March 6 evening re allegedly started
by Stoyanov caused chaos and the evacuation
of 29 rooms but little other damage.
Stoyanov, of Hillsborough, was a patient at
San Mateo Medical Center
when he reportedly began
the rst oor blaze just
before 11 p.m. After hos-
pital staff extinguished the
small fire, Stoyanov
reportedly blocked himself
in a hospital room with a
chair and hamper. When a
nurse kicked the door
open, she reported seeing
the bed and oor on re
and Stoyanov walking toward her swinging a
knife. Responding ofcers needed nearly two
hours and a Taser to negotiate and eventually
apprehend him.
The hospital quickly issued a statement
lauding the quick action of rst responders but
withheld further comment on the incident,
including Stoyanovs reason for hospitaliza-
tion or why he may have become so agitated.
Prosecutors say Stoyanov has terminal cancer
and was generally frustrated with life.
His diagnosis plays no role in whether to
prosecute him, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Unless the prosecution was out of the ordi-
nary, such as ying in 10 witness that would
be resource-heavy, we do not take into
account age or physical condition, Wagstaffe
said. Punishment is only the second part of
what we do. Holding someone accountable is
the rst.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
One of four alleged gangmembers charged
in the repeated stabbing of a man in Redwood
City was immediately sentenced Friday to 16
years in prison after pleading no contest to
attempted murder and using a deadly weapon.
Jose Luis Segurasuarez, 20, also admitted
committing the crime for gang purposes. The
plea deal makes Segurasuarez the third of the
four to settle their respective cases rather than
stand trial.
Prosecutors previously offered
Segurasuarez a 15-year settlement but revoked
it when he declined to accept.
According to prosecutors, Segurasuarez
along with three others and a 16-year-old boy
stabbed the victim several times in the
abdomen at approximately 4:30 p.m. Dec. 13,
2011 on the 800 block of Brewster Avenue.
Witnesses reported seeing two males jump out
of a gold car, stab the man and ee the area.
Police located a car matching the vehicle
description at a home in the 2600 block of
Marlborough Avenue and ultimately arrested
the three teens inside based on their state-
ments. The victim was hospitalized with criti-
cal injuries but survived.
Co-defendant Billi Ruben Antonio, 19,
pleaded no contest in July 2012 to being an
accessory to a felony and participating in a
street gang. He was sentenced to two years
with 456 days credit for time served followed
by a year of mandatory supervision.
After his competency was conrmed, co-
defendant Bryan Alexander Morales, 20, also
pleaded no contest to attempted murder in
return for 20 years in prison.
Segurasuarez has credit of 472 days against
his term earned while in custody without bail.
He must also pay restitution to be determined
at an April 25 hearing, register as a gangmem-
ber and serve 85 percent of the sentence
before being eligible for parole.

Anne Updike Newsom
Anne Updike Newsom, born Oct. 27, 1917,
died March 5, 2013.
Anne was born and
raised in Omaha, Neb.,
where she met and mar-
ried William A. Newsom,
a medical student at
Creighton University.
After World War II, the
couple was married and
moved to San Francisco,
where Dr. Newsom estab-
lished his medical practice in neurosurgery.
Together, Anne and Bill raised nine children:
William Jr., M.D. (Christine), Wendy, Rob
(Joanne), David (deceased), Laura, Mark
(Cathy), Mary (Roger Boucher), Sarah (John
Healy) and Philip (Peggy).
Anne was a stay-at-home mother and active
in numerous charitable organizations, includ-
ing the Junior League and the American Red
Cross. She was a graduate of Goucher College
in Baltimore and a member of Kappa Kappa
Gamma Sorority.
When her husband passed away in 2000,
Anne moved to the Magnolia of Millbrae
where she lived for nearly 13 years. In addi-
tion to her husband, she was predeceased by
her son, Dave, her parents, Robert and
Winifred Updike, and her sisters, Mary Sickel
and Lorry Guild. Her survivors include her
eight remaining children, and her grandchil-
dren: Rob (Jen), Chrissy, Danny, Katie,
Lucera (Nova), Beth, James (Wendy), Joseph,
Pete, Joanna, Emily, Marie (John), Roger,
Billy, Patrick, Ali, Angie, Jack and Mariclare.
She is also survived by her ve great-grand-
daughters: Keely, Maeve, Mara, Tara and
Penelope, many nieces, nephews and friends,
including Betty Leonard of Glen Ellen, Calif.
and Janice Zimmerman of Omaha, Neb.
A funeral mass was held at Our Lady of
Angels in Burlingame. Should friends wish,

Frank Gallardo
Frank Gallardo, born in San Francisco Jan.
23, 1930, died April 1, 2013.
He was raised in San Francisco and gradu-
ated from Mission High. In 1951, he married
Emily Salais. Longtime San Francisco resi-
dents, they moved to Belmont 42 years ago.
He and Emily were entirely devoted to each
other and their family. Recently, Frank
became Emilys loving caregiver. Emilys
sudden death devastated Frank and he passed
four weeks to the date of her passing.
Frank is survived by daughters Angelica
Grasso-Hotti, Cecilia Mitchell, Francesca
Muhlfelder, son Kevin Gallardo, grandchil-
dren Edward Mitchell and Gabriel Gallardo,
great-grandchild Emily Fay Mitchell, brother
Leo and sisters Sylvia and Abigail.
Frank served as usher
for the Offertory at the
Church of the Immaculate
Heart of Mary. History
was Franks passion. Ask a
question and he could
recite details worthy of a
history professor. There
was always a pile of books
and periodicals at his
chair-side. He was blessed with a green
thumb, all plants miraculously survived in his
care. He was a diehard emotional San
Francisco Giants and 49ers fan. His potato
salad was the familys treat; ice cream and
nuts were his treats.
The family suffers an irreconcilable loss.

Lawyer: Girl saw
details online of sex assault
SARATOGA Fifteen-year-old Audrie
Pott passed out drunk at a friends house, woke
up and concluded she had been sexually
abused.
In the days that followed, she was shocked to
see an explicit photo of herself circulating
among her classmates along with emails and
text messages about the episode. And she was
horried to discover that her attackers were
three of her friends, her familys lawyer says.
Eight days after the party, she hanged herself.
She pieced together with emails and texts
who had done this to her. They were her
friends. Her friends! said family attorney
Robert Allard. That was the worst.
On Thursday, sheriffs ofcials arrested three
16-year-old boys on suspicion of sexual battery
against Audrie, who committed suicide in
September.
Browns appeal of prison
ruling could be difficult
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Browns
continued deance of a federal court order to
reduce the states inmate population could
face a difcult time in the appeals process
because the U.S. Supreme Court has already
weighed in on the matter, a legal expert said
Friday.
The governors administration said it will
appeal the decision issued Thursday by a
three-judge panel, which denied Browns
request to lift the population cap.
The judges also threatened to hold him and
other state ofcials in contempt if they failed
to comply with the earlier court rulings to
reduce the prison population.

WASHINGTON A promised
path to citizenship for the 11 million
immigrants in the U.S. illegally may
leave out hundreds of thousands of
them.
Bipartisan Senate legislation
would make legalization and ulti-
mately citizenship available only to
those who arrived in the U.S. before
Dec. 31, 2011, according to a Senate
aide with knowledge of the propos-
als. Anyone who came after that
date would be subject to deporta-
tion.
The bill, expected to be intro-
duced next week, also would require
applicants to document that they
were in the country before the cutoff
date, have a clean criminal record
and show enough employment or
nancial stability that theyre likely
to stay off welfare, said the aide,
who spoke on condition of
anonymity because the proposals
had not been made public.
Although illegal immigration to
the U.S. has been dropping, tens of
thousands of people still arrive
annually, so the cutoff date alone
could exclude a large number of
people. The aide said hundreds of
thousands could be excluded over-
all.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obamas plan to raise
Medicare premiums for upper-
income seniors would create ve
new income brackets to squeeze
more revenue for the government
from the top tiers of retirees, the
administration revealed Friday.
First details of the plan emerged
after Health and Human Services
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testi-
ed to Congress on the presidents
budget. As released two days earli-
er, the budget included only a vague
description of a controversial pro-
posal that has grown more ambi-
tious since Obama last oated it.
Means testing has been part of
Medicare since
the George W.
Bush adminis-
tration, but
ramping it up is
bound to stir
c o n t r o v e r s y.
Republicans are
intrigued, but
most Democrats
dont like the
idea.
The plan itself is complicated.
The bottom line is not: more money
for the government.
Obamas new budget calls for
raising $50 billion over 10 years by
increasing monthly income-relat-
ed premiums for outpatient and
prescription drug coverage. The
comparable number last year was
$28 billion over the decade.
Currently, single beneficiaries
making more than $85,000 a year
and couples earning more than
$170,000 pay higher premiums.
Obamas plan would raise the pre-
miums themselves and also freeze
adjustments for ination until 1 in 4
Medicare recipients were paying the
higher charges. Right now, the high-
er monthly charges hit only about 1
in 20 Medicare recipients.
House Budget Committee
Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., asked
Sebelius about the new proposal on
Friday, noting that it would raise
signicantly more revenue. Part of
the reason for the additional federal
revenue is that Obamas 2014 budg-
et projects an additional year of
money from the proposals.
Upper-income seniors Medicare rising

WASHINGTON A conserva-
tive senator is proposing to greatly
broaden the background check sys-
tem for firearms purchasers but
require no records of the transac-
tions as the Senate braced for votes
on amendments to gun control legis-
lation next week.
The plan by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-
Okla., was one of several proposals
Republicans were discussing in
preparation for debate. In response
to Decembers elementary school
attack in Newtown, Conn., which
killed 20 children and six adults, the
Senate is considering a Democratic
bill backed by President Barack
Obama that would expand back-
ground checks, strengthen laws
against illegal gun trafcking and
slightly increase school security aid.
The possible GOP amendments,
described by aides and lobbyists,
include one requiring states to rec-
ognize permits for carrying con-
cealed weapons issued by other
states. Many gun control advocates
oppose the idea vehemently because
some states standards for issuing
the permits are considered weak,
and such a provision, if approved,
might cause some to rethink support
for the overall bill.
It was unclear who might intro-
duce it, but two lobbyists mentioned
Sen. John Thune, R-S.D. His ofce
declined to comment.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, is
working on a sweeping measure
prodding states to send more
records to the federal background
check system, which is designed to
prevent guns from going to crimi-
nals and those with serious mental
health problems.

OPINION 9
Legislature kills jobs
and hurts families
Guest
perspective
Drones are
useful for public safety
Editor,
Regarding the story, Drone wars?
Not really in the April 10 edition of
the Daily Journal, it is disturbing to
think that people object to the use of
drones in our county. Drones could be
invaluable to our Sheriffs Ofce in San
Mateo County, with its lengthy coast-
line and expansive woodlands. Drones
are nothing more than cameras for pub-
lic safety. There are cameras in parking
lots, elevators, on BART, buses and in
public buildings (presumably San
Mateo City Hall). To argue that drones
will infringe on the privacy has no legal
basis when air space and public safety
are at issue.
You do not need to be a lawyer to
know that air space is public as the
U.S. Supreme Court made clear in U.S.
v. Causby (1946), noting: It is ancient
doctrine that at common law ownership
of the land extended to the periphery of
the universe Cujus est solum ejus est
usque ad coelum. But that doctrine has
no place in the modem world. The air
is a public highway, as Congress has
declared. Were that not true, every
transcontinental ight would subject
the operator to countless suits.
Common sense revolts at the idea. To
recognize such private claims to the
airspace would clog these highways,
seriously interfere with their control
and development in the public interest,
and transfer into private ownership that
which only the public would have a
just claim.
The need for public safety is indis-
putable. I hope the Sheriffs Ofce will
not be dissuaded from using drones for
public safety.

Social Security money
grab not the answer
Editor,
A few members of Congress want to
open the vault which currently holds
around $3 trillion in Social Security
funds scheduled to be paid out in bene-
ts over the next 15-20 years and use
those funds to help decrease the federal
decit.
Such action would be illegal under
current law as those funds were created
by taxes paid by millions of workers
during their years in the work force,
with the promise of receiving some of
it back in nancial security during their
years of retirement.
To change that formula in funding
would require new legislation by
Congress which is being strongly
opposed by those depending on said
benets for their survival.
Back to square one and the deadlock
in Congress on how to reduce the
decit without raising taxes. No one
will be pleased with any legislation
brought forward by this Congress
which refused to compromise and end
the suffering from the current reces-
sion.

Response to
Anti-Catholic Commentary
Editor,
Kudos to Dorothy Dimitre and her
column Iconic images published in
the April 10 edition of the Daily
Journal. It is unfortunate that some
Catholics consider it anti-Catholic
when anyone disagrees with the Church
or speaks with insight and truth about
the Catholic corporation. I would hope
Mr. Seely in his letter Anti-Catholic
commentary published in the April 12
edition of the Daily Journal, could real-
ize people have different views about
religious subjects. I would also hope
that he realizes that dogma is made up
and may not agree with accepted social
truth/reality or convention. His citation
of various personages of the Catholic
Church is interesting, but still a church
creation and not necessarily a generally
accepted society truth. I remember that,
when I was growing up, every Catholic
I knew had a St. Christopher medal
attached to the dashboard or dangling
from the rearview mirror of their car
until St. Christopher apparently got
demoted. We shall see in June when the
Supreme Court rules on Proposition 8
and DOMA whether the Catholic jus-
tices are able to rise above their
Catholic indoctrination and embrace
our Constitution or submit to the
dogma.
As for faith, I yield to Friedrich
Wilhelm Nietzsche when he said, A
casual stroll through the lunatic asylum
shows that faith does not prove any-
thing.

Preaching gun control?
Editor,
I am confused. The Obama adminis-

gratis to Mexican drug cartel criminal
gangs. Now Mr. Obama is preaching

The Anniston (Ala.) Star
W
hether its Darwinian theory
or basic logic is irrelevant.
All job-seekers need to
know that its getting increasingly dif-
cult to land decent employment without
a bachelors degree.
Thats not a new premise, of course.
Regardless of the eld, four-year
degrees have long been seen as a need-
ed pathway to a better life and sustain-
able employment. While todays trends
show that bachelors degrees are indeed
needed, theyre often earning job-seek-
ers positions that pay low and require
menial tasks.
In other words, todays BA is fast
becoming yesterdays high school
diploma. And the trickle-down effect
that has on high-school grads seeking
work is obvious.
Recently, a New York Times story
explained how companies such as law
rms now often require four-year
degrees for entry-level positions such as
le clerks jobs that used to be lled
by high school graduates or those with
two-year degrees.
According to the Times, economists
call this degree ination and say this
trend is spreading into positions such as
dental hygienists, cargo agents and
claims adjusters. The bottom line: With
high unemployment and tepid job mar-
kets, its now more important than ever
for job-seekers to have a college degree
on their resume.
Again, thats not new.
Degree ination is the real deal; it
may get worse.
Four-year college degrees
By Chuck McDougald
L
iving in Silicon Valley, it is easy to forget that vast
swaths of California are mired in recession. Yet tens
of thousands of Californians are unemployed as our
state takes the dubious prize as having the nations highest
unemployment rate at 9.7 percent. Some counties such as
Imperial even have unemployment rates more than 25 per-
cent.
Given this dismal record, it seems to
me that the top priority for Californias
Democratic-dominated Legislature
should be job creation. Struggling
California families wish it were so.
Instead, our one-party Legislature has
gone on a job-killing spree, intent on
increasing the misery of working families
by making it harder for businesses to
thrive and create badly needed job.
The California Chamber of Commerce has just published
its 2013 list of Job Killer bills that the states legislative
Democrats are considering. Each one will make it harder for
long-suffering unemployed Californians to see another pay-
check
The president of the California Chamber of Commerce,
Allan Zaremberg, notes, California policy makers should
keep their focus on the number one issues affecting their
constituents economic recovery and job creation. Each of
these proposed Job Killer bills would increase uncertainty
for employers and investors and lead to higher costs of doing
business, which will undermine the economic health of the
state.
I agree with Mr. Zaremberg that economic recovery and
job creation should be our legislators top priority. Here are
just a few of the chambers 32 Job Killer bills that
Sacramento politicians are considering instead:
AB 5 (Ammiano; D-San Francisco) Increased Exposure
to Frivolous Litigation Imposes costly and unreasonable
mandates on employers that could jeopardize the health and
safety of others by creating a new protected classication of
employees and customers who are or are perceived to be
homeless, low income, suffering from a mental disability or
physical disability, and establishing a private right of action
for such individuals that includes statutory damages, punitive
damages and attorneys fees.
AB 769 (Skinner; D-Berkeley) Creates Inequity in the
Tax Structure Harms struggling small businesses and
startups by repealing the Net Operating Loss (NOL) carry
back deduction, a lifeline that helps employers stay aoat,
retain employees and continue investing in their businesses
in an economic downturn.
AB 823 (Eggman; D-Stockton) Infrastructure Adds
additional costs and hurdles to critically needed new infra-
structure and development projects by imposing unreason-
able mitigation requirements.
ACA 3 (Campos; D-San Jose) Lowers Vote Requirement
for Tax Increases Adds complexity and uncertainty to the
current tax structure and pressure to increase taxes on com-
mercial, industrial and residential property owners to support
public safety services by giving local government new
authority to enact a special tax, including parcel taxes, by
lowering the vote threshold from two-thirds to only 55 per-
cent.
SB 622 (Monning; D-Carmel) Targeted Tax Threatens
jobs in beverage, retail, and restaurant industries by arbitrari-
ly and unfairly targeting certain beverages for a new tax to
fund childrens health programs.
Fortunately, Republican legislators are introducing and
supporting bills that focus on job creation and make eco-
nomic recovery state governments main priority. Theyre
doing this by encouraging private sector job creators to come
back to our state and hire workers here; balancing the budget
by reducing overspending and making state government
more efcient and effective for the taxpayers it serves; and
rejecting painful tax increases that will hurt working families
and job creators alike.
They are working to restore economic growth to every
region of our state, create good jobs for all working families
and ensure a healthy and sustainable future for our children.
Your Republican legislators are working hard to make
California the golden state of opportunity once again.

NEW YORK A four-day surge in the
stock market came to an end on Friday as
falling commodity prices brought down
energy and mining companies.
Signs of a slowing economy rattled
commodity markets. The price of crude
oil dropped 2 percent to $91 a barrel as
weak U.S. economic reports followed
forecasts for weaker oil demand.
Gold plunged $64 to $1,501 an ounce,
reaching its lowest level since July 2011.
Prices for other metals including silver
and copper also fell sharply.
One trigger for the latest fall was a gov-
ernment report that U.S. wholesale prices
declined the most in 10 months in March.
Traders tend to sell metals when ination
wanes. They also pushed gold prices
lower on reports that Cyprus may sell
some of its gold reserves, possibly leading
other weak European countries like Italy
and Spain to do the same.
Compared to commodities markets, the
stock market looked stable. The Dow
Jones industrial average dropped just 0.08
of a point to close at 14,865.05. The
Standard & Poors 500 lost 4.52 points, or
0.3 percent, to 1,588.85.
The two major indexes nished the
week with strong gains: The Dow rose 2.1
percent, the S&P 500 rose 2.3 percent.
David Joy, the chief market strategist
for Ameriprise Financial, said its as if the
stock market is telling a different story
from the bond and commodity markets.
Copper and other industrial metals slid
along with gold on Friday, while Treasury
yields sank near their lows for the year. He
said both imply traders in those markets
are more worried about a slowdown.
It gives me pause, Joy said.
Commodities and bonds are telling stock
investors: dont be in such a hurry to say
the U.S. economy is in great shape.
The sharp drop in gold futures tugged
down mining companies. Barrick Gold
lost 8 percent to $22.62, Newmont
Mining fell 6 percent to $36.37 and
Freeport-McMoRan 3 percent to $31.92.
Materials and energy stocks fell the
most of the 10 industry groups in the S&P
500, 1.5 percent and 1.3 percent.
The Nasdaq composite dropped 5.21
points to 3,289, a fall of 0.2 percent.
A handful of reports out Friday height-
ened concerns about the economys
health. Sales at U.S. retailers fell in March
and companies restocked their shelves at a
much slower pace in February than in the
month before. Thats usually a sign that
companies expect weaker spending from
consumers and businesses. A measure of
consumer sentiment from the University
of Michigan also slumped.
The stock market has held up well
despite a string of recent weak economic
reports. That resilience has left a lot of
investors scratching their heads, said
Lawrence Creatura, a fund manager at
Federated Investors.
This earnings season will likely deter-
mine which direction the market takes,
Creatura said. Next week, when Bank of
America, Google and other big names
turn in their quarterly results, could make
the difference.
Wells Fargo reported stronger quarterly
prots on Friday but its revenue fell short
of Wall Streets forecasts. The banks
stock lost 1 percent to $37.21.
The weaker economic reports pushed
traders into the safety of Treasurys, send-
ing yield near their lows for the year. The
yield on the 10-year Treasury note
dropped to 1.72 percent from 1.79 per-
cent late Thursday. Thats close to its low
point of the year, 1.69 percent, reached
April 5.

such a hurry to say the U.S. economy is in great shape.

WASHINGTON Sales at U.S. retailers
fell in March from February, indicating that
higher taxes and weak hiring likely made
some consumers more cautious about spend-
ing.
Retail sales declined a seasonally adjusted
0.4 percent last month, the Commerce
Department said Friday. That followed a 1
percent gain in February and a 0.1 percent
decline in January. Both February and
January gures were revised lower.
Consumers cut back across a wide range of
categories last month. Sales at auto dealers
dropped 0.6 percent. Gas station sales
dropped 2.2 percent, partly reecting lower
prices. The retail gures arent adjusted for
price changes.
Excluding the volatile categories of autos,
gas and building materials, core sales dropped
0.2 percent in March. That followed a gain of
0.3 percent in February. Department stores,
electronics retailers and sporting goods out-
lets all reported lower sales.
The retail sales report is the governments
rst look at consumer spending, which drives
about 70 percent of economic activity.
The decline in March shows higher Social
Security taxes are starting to affect consumers
and could dampen growth in the spring.
Many economists still predict economic
growth accelerated to an annual rate of rough-
ly 3 percent in the January-March quarter.
That would be a signicant increase from the
anemic growth rate of 0.4 percent reported for
the October-December quarter.
Still, economists say the improvement is
likely temporary. Many now expect weaker
spending will be among factors that slow
growth again in the April-June quarter, to an
annual rate of around 1.5 percent.
The U.S. consumer looks a little less
resilient, said Michael Feroli, an economist
at JPMorgan Chase. It now appears that
close to $200 billion in higher taxes may have
actually had some impact on consumer spend-
ing.
A separate report Friday on April consumer
condence seemed to bolster that point.
U.S. retail sales fall 0.4 percent in March
Gov. Brown chooses private
donors to pay for China trip
By Juliet Williams
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown likes to portray his
administration as frugal when it comes to spending taxpayers
money. So he has taken the same approach as his predecessor,
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, in paying for his trade mission
to China asking business interests and political donors to
foot the bill.
Some 90 business leaders from a variety of industries are
paying $10,000 each to join Brown on his weeklong trip to
China and cover the costs for Brown and other state ofcials,
according to the Bay Area Council, a business group that
helped organize the trip.
The delegates get access to the high-level Chinese ofcials
with whom Brown is meeting and a chance to spend time with
Brown, when they may seek to inuence his thinking on issues
that are important to them. Such access is at the heart of many
political contributions and the endless fundraisers lawmakers
hold during which lobbyists pay to mingle with decision-mak-
ers.
California teachers
fund to sell $3M in firearm stocks
SACRAMENTO The nations largest teacher pension
fund says it will sell about $3 million worth of stock from
companies that make guns and high-capacity ammunition
magazines that are illegal in California.
The California State Teachers Retirement System
announced Friday that it will sell holdings in Sturm, Ruger &
Co. and Smith & Wesson Holding Corp.
State Treasurer Bill Lockyer made a motion in January to
divest after pension fund ofcials determined that the $162 bil-
lion fund invests in the owner of a company that manufactured
one of the weapons used in the Connecticut school shooting.

Menlo-Atherton shortstop Alex Aguiar throws to rst to complete a 4-6-3 double play, avoiding Terra Novas sliding Tyler Armstrong in the
process. M-A beat the Tigers 9-1 Friday inAtherton.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Its not even the halfway point of the
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division base-
ball season and Menlo-Atherton manager Mike
Amoroso is already thinking playoffs.
Not that the Bears have locked up a postseason
berth. Far from it. Heading into Fridays home
game against Terra Nova, M-A was mired in a
four-game losing streak and in seventh place in
the eight-team standings. Amoroso is thinking
playoffs because he believes the Bears are in a
must-win situation right now if they have any
hope of securing one of the top four spots in the
standings and an automatic Central Coast
Section berth that goes along with it.
The Bears took their rst step toward accom-
plishing that goal with a 9-1 win over the sec-
ond-place Tigers.
Today was pretty much CCS, Amoroso
said. Its pretty much a one-game elimination
(for the rest of the regular season).
If M-A (2-4 PAL Bay, 12-7 overall) can play
and pitch like it did Friday, a playoff spot isnt

Ryan Cavans outlook upon switching posi-
tions this season may be a fantastic overall life
philosophy.
The Giants minor-league inelder and
former Menlo School standout has convert-
ed to third base at High-A San Jose this year,
after playing predominantly second base over
the past three seasons. But the 26-year-old
veteran has taken to the new position with a
spring in his step.
Its the hot corner, Cavan said. So you
gotta get down and ready, because youre
going to get some lasers
hit at you.
Cavan has been hitting
his share of lasers as well.
The switch-hitter entered
into play last night pacing
San Jose with .343 batting
average, while his 12 hits
currently ranks second in
the California League.
After a breakout season
at San Jose two years ago
when he ranked second on the team with 90
RBIs Cavan returns to the High-A Giants
this season to anchor the heart of the batting
order in support of young sluggers Angel
Villalona and Mac Williamson.
Returning to the Bay Area is special for
several reasons for the former Menlo School
star. For one, Cavan gets to live in his home-
town of Belmont. Of course, between family,
friends, and baseball students from his offsea-
son work as a private instructor, Cavan is the
odds-on favorite to lead the league in guest
passes.
Ive worked so hard for so many years,
Cavan said. But Id go play off in random
places. To be able to play at home is really a
blessing. So Im really thankful.
In addition to being the hometown kid,
Cavans second year at San Jose marks the
rst time outside of summer ball he has played
with the same team for more than one season
since he was in high school. Through three
years of college, he played at three different
schools Chapman College, Trinity College,
and UC Santa Barbara the latter of which

Unless youre sitting atop the Bay Division
standings of the Peninsula Athletic League in
boys baseball, there is no such thing as being
comfortable a handful of games into the
season, and everyone is within two or three
games of each other.
And so, Fridays matchup between Aragon
and Half Moon Bay high schools was big in
that two middle of the pack teams that are off
to rough starts could begin to build some
momentum with a win.
Coming into the game, that team appeared
to be Aragon, who used four Cougar errors on
Wednesday to come away with a 7-2 win
behind the pitching of Aldo Severson.
But seven innings later, Half Moon Bay
proved just how crazy the rest of the PAL Bay
season could be.
The Cougars used three Aragon errors and
ve hits to score all four of their runs on
Friday. That, combined with a complete-
game, four-hit gem by Peter Richardson,
translated to a big 4-1 win.
We really needed this game if we wanted
to get back into the Bay race, said Half
Moon Bay manager Steve Terraszas.
Theres no gimmes in the PAL Bay. Getting
this one was good.
You have to tip your hat to the Half Moon
Bay pitcher, said Aragon manager Lenny
Souza. He kept us off-balanced all day. Got
ahead. Didnt walk anybody. He did a real
good job. Gave us ts. We didnt do a great
job of swinging the bat today. It is what it is.
Richardson frustrated Aragon bats the entire
afternoon with the exception of a fastball
that Severson deposited over the right eld
fence in the bottom of the fourth inning. And
from the games onset, it actually looked like
we were in for a great pitchers duel.
Chris Hahn was solid for the rst three
innings of the game. But unfortunately for the
right-hander, his defense came undone in the
fourth and the Cougars took full advantage.
The frame started with a y ball to left eld
that fell between two Aragon defenders. That
non-play was followed by a hit-and-run dou-
ble into the right-eld gap off the bat of Peter
Bacich that gave Half Moon Bay the lead.
Tom Howell followed with a bunt that Hahn
pawed but could not get a throw off on, giving
the Cougars runners on rst and second with
no out.
After a y ball, the Aragon defense gave the
Cougars another run when an attempted steal
on a wild pitched turned into a throwing error
into left eld. Bacich scored easily to make it
2-0. Richardson then followed with a bunt that
started foul and then swerved its way back
into the ineld, hitting the bag and giving the
Cougars even more base runners.
Then, after another fly ball, Resse
Hammerstrom and Brad Kelly really made the
inning sting with back-to-back singles that
gave Half Moon Bay its 4-0 lead.
We tried to be a little more aggressive on
the bases, Terraszas said, and ... make them
play catch for a change put pressure on
their defense.
Take away that inning, and its a tight ball
game, Souza said. Its unfortunate, but you
have to be able to not make mistakes in close
ball games. I think were all very disappoint-
ed. I think we all thought this was our chance
to get back in the hunt. Now were really
going to have to get after it next week. Were
all having a tough time with it because we feel
like we have a lot of talent on the team. Its
just not coming through when we need it to.
We gave them four runs last time,
Terraszas said, We knew if we cut out the
errors, pitched a good game, wed be alright.
We can swing the bat with the best of them, I
think. Its just a matter of defense and pitching
with a senior on the mound and 10 seniors
on the team, we should have the ability to do
that.
That inning got extended, Souza said.
Hahn is not a 30-pitch inning kind of kid.
Hes a 10-pitch inning kind of kid. And when
we dont play behind him 100 percent of the
time, people are going to score runs against
him. But what you saw from him the rst
three innings is what should have kept going.
We just lost focus in that inning. Its unfortu-
nate.
Seversons one-out home run looked like a
sign of life for Aragon in the fourth. But
apparently, Richardson was having none of
that. After the bomb, Richardson allowed just
two more base runners.
For the most part, I was just throwing
strikes fastballs, Richardson said. And I
was just letting my defense do the work. We
were a little down (after Wednesday), but we
knew we had to come in here and get a win. I
wanted to go out there and give my best per-
formance to give us a chance.
He pitched, certainly his best league game,
maybe the best game hes pitched all year
long, Terraszas said. He had his stuff, he
was pitching from ahead which made a huge
difference. We played good defense and didnt
make any errors.
Cougars avenge loss, down Aragon 4-1
By Doug Ferguson
AUGUSTA, Ga. The 14-year-old from
China isnt going anywhere in a hurry. And
this Masters is still a long way from taking
shape.
Despite being the rst player at Augusta
National to get hit with a one-shot penalty for
slow play, teen sensation Guan Tianlang still
made history Friday as the youngest player to
make the cut in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event.
And it came down to the last shot of a wild
and windy day.
Jason Day could have sent the kid home
early with a birdie from just off the front of
the green on the 18th hole. But the Australian
was wide left and tapped in for par, giving him
a 4-under 68 and a one-shot lead over fellow
Aussie Marc Leishman and the ageless Fred
Couples.
The par meant that Guan, who had one shot
added to his score on the 17th hole for his sec-
ond bad time of the round made the cut
under the 10-shot rule.
If I can make it, I would be really happy
for it, Guan said some ve hours earlier. But
if I didnt make it, its still a great week.
Hes now part of a weekend at Augusta that
should be as dynamic as ever.
Day was at 6-under 138, and 18 players
were within four shots of the lead, including
Tiger Woods.
Woods moved into a share of the lead with
a two-putt birdie on the
eighth hole, and his game
looked to be as sharp as
ever perhaps too sharp.
Right when it looked like
he might take the outright
lead, Woods hit a lob
wedge that was so perfect
it hit the ag on the par-5
15th and caromed back-
ward off the green and
into the water. Instead of having a short birdie
putt, he had to scramble to save bogey.
Woods posed over another shot on the 18th
and was stunned to see it hop onto the upper
shelf, leading to his second three-putt bogey
of the week. He had to settle for a 71, though
he was still only three shots out of the lead.
My score doesnt quite indicate how well I
played today, Woods said.
Day, a runner-up at the Masters two years
ago, can be one of the most exciting players in
golf when his game is on, and he was ring at
ags from everywhere Friday. Even from the
pine straw under the trees on the dangerous
11th, the Aussie took dead aim at the pin and
set up a rare birdie to join the leaders.
His only blunder was hitting into the water
short of the 12th, though he still managed to
escape with bogey, and then he red a 4-wood
low enough to stay below the trees and avoid
the wind on the 13th, setting up a two-putt
birdie.
He was cognizant of the guys behind him
Woods included though just as much pres-
sure comes from trying to be the first
Australian in a green jacket.
The moment I start worrying about other
players is the moment I start losing focus on
what I need to do, and when I do that, Ill start
making bogeys, Day said. Its obviously
great to have the lead. Im very exciting for
the challenge over the next two days. It really
is exciting to have the opportunity to win the
Masters. Im very, very happy where I am
right now.
The 53-year-old Couples, who shared the
36-hole lead last year at the Masters, birdied
the 18th hole for a 71 and will play in the nal
group.
I did tee off Thursday with the idea of
playing well, and now its Friday afternoon
late. Im surprised, but Im not going to freak
out over it, Couples said.
Former Masters champion Angel Cabrera
birdied ve of his last six holes for a 69 and
was in the group two shots behind, along with
former U.S. Open champion Jim Furyk (71)
and Brandt Snedeker (70). Woods was at 3-
under 141 with six others, including Adam
Scott (72), Lee Westwood (71) and Justin
Rose (71).
And still in the mix was Rory McIlroy, who
turned his fortunes around with a 5-wood
from about 275 yards that set up a short eagle
putt. He added three more birdies on the back
nine and had a 70, leaving him only four
shots out of the lead going into the weekend.
Anything under par today was going to be
a good score, McIlroy said.
The hole locations were severe in spots,
with one pin tucked on top of a mound toward
the front of the fth green.

The Giants closer entered Fridays game
against the Chicago Cubs six for six in save
chances this season.
But after a ninth-inning
San Francisco comeback,
he could not hold a 3-2
lead as Starlin Castros
two-out double off the
center-eld wall gave the
Cubs a 4-3 victory.
Chicago led 2-0 heading
into the top of the ninth,
but closer Kyuji Fujikawa
allowed a one-out RBI sin-
gle by Pablo Sandoval and hit Buster Posey
with a pitch before Brandon Belts two-out
double down the right-eld line scored two
runs and gave the Giants a 3-2 lead.
Romo was then summoned from the
bullpen for his fourth appearance in ve days.
Pinch-hitter Dioner Navarro tied the game
with a home run to right eld to lead off the
inning, the rst pinch-hit homer of the season
for the Cubs.
I made a good pitch. He put the ball in
play, Romo said. Things happen when you
put the ball in play. You tip the cap to him. No
excuses.
Romo then struck out Luis Valbuena and
Brent Lillibridge before David DeJesus sin-
gled to center to set up Castros winner.
Its a great comeback and a tough loss to
go with it, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
The boys battled back hard there in the ninth.
Sergios been so good, he just got a couple
balls up in the ninth.
Its going to happen and hes going to have
to deal with the occasional hiccup. Thats the
life of a closer.
Matt Cain made his rst start since giving
up nine earned runs in 3 2-3 innings in a 14-3
loss to St. Louis on April 7. The Giants ace
allowed seven hits solo home runs to
DeJesus and Castro while striking out six and
walking two.
A lot of time if you make good pitches,
you get rewarded for it, Cain said. If you
make bad pitches, guys get the ball up in the
air and if the winds blowing the wrong way,
youre at the mercy of whatevers going to
happen.
Carlos Villanueva pitched 7 1-3 shutout
innings and allowed three hits and struck out
three.
The strong start was Villanuevas second in
a row. Villanueva made his Cubs debut April 6
at Atlanta and allowed one run in 6 2-3
innings.
After allowing Angel Pagan to lead off the
game with a single, Villanueva retired the next
12 batters until Hunter Pence singled with one
out in the fth.
Villanueva was replaced with one out in the
eighth by James Russell after giving up a sin-
gle to Gregor Blanco. Brandon Crawford sin-
gled off Russell, but the Cubs left-hander got
pinch-hitter Andres Torres to ground into a 5-
4-3 double play.
Chicago took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the
third when DeJesus led off with his home run.
DeJesus blast was helped by a wind that was
blowing out to right eld. DeJesus had three
hits.
The Cubs doubled their lead in the bottom
of the fth when Castro homered, taking a 1-
2 pitch from Cain and lining it into the left-
eld bleachers.
San Francisco threatened in the sixth after
Crawford led off with a walk and was sacri-
ced to second by Cain. With two outs,
Scutaros sharp grounder to third was snagged
by Steve Clevenger, who threw to rst to get
the San Francisco second baseman.
Sandovals ninth-inning RBI single extend-
ed his hitting streak to six games.
Notes: Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don
Mattingly said that San Diego Padres outeld-
er Carlos Quentin shouldnt play again until
the injured Zack Greinke can pitch. When
asked about Mattinglys comments before
Fridays game, Giants manager Bruce Bochy
said thats a great point. ... Saturdays pitch-

OAKLAND Oakland Athletics second
baseman Scott Sizemore is scheduled for a
second reconstructive surgery on his left knee
Tuesday, another blow for the inelder and
reigning AL West champions after he missed
all of last season.
Sizemore will meet with
Dr. James Andrews in
Pensacola, Fla., on
Monday, then have sur-
gery to repair the torn
anterior cruciate ligament.
The 28-year-old
Sizemore was hurt 14
months ago during the rst
full-squad workout of
spring training in 2012
and missed the season with the same injury.
He batted .216 with six RBIs, a double and
triple during 21 spring training games.
It was hard for me to watch, my stomach
dropped, teammate and infielder Adam
Rosales said. Obviously my heart goes out to
him, it really does. Size is strong, hes a com-
petitor. I hope the best for him.
Sizemore was a fth-round draft pick in
2006 out of Virginia Commonwealth by the
Tigers, who were in town Friday to open a
three-game weekend series at the Oakland
Coliseum.
In 110 games between Detroit and the As in
2011, Sizemore hit a combined .245 with 11
home runs and 56 RBIs. He was 0 for 5 this
season before injuring the knee Tuesday on
the road against the Angels when hustled to
shallow right eld on a bloop single by Mike
Trout that fell between Sizemore and Chris
Young.
Tigers manager Jim Leyland felt terrible for
Sizemore, placed on the disabled list
Wednesday.
Yeah, anybody like that, any player that
does that, particularly somebody you know,
absolutely, Leyland said.
Thats some real tough luck. The biggest
thing about this, is I dont think anybody,
unless theyve gone through it, including
myself, understands how brutal that rehab can
be when people get hurt. Im talking about
whether it be the shoulder, elbow, ankle, what-
ever. Some of those rehabs are so brutal, and
they work so hard. Its a crying shame, yes,
without question.
As athletic trainer Nick Paparesta didnt
want to speculate Friday how Andrews would
decide to repair the torn ACL this time after
using a tendon from Sizemores hamstring
when operating in March 2012. It also could
be done with cadaver tissue or a patellar ten-
don.
Former As catcher Landon Powell needed
two ACL surgeries, so Oaklands medical staff
has been through this process.
Its not something that happens a lot, but
we have a little bit of history with it,
Paparesta said.
Eric Sogard will become the regular second
baseman, while utilityman Rosales will pro-
vide some depth once he returns from a
strained muscle in his left ribcage area.
Rosales still needed to face live hitting and
throw across the diamond before he goes on a
rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento.
Those are the small, little steps, tests Ive
got to put my body through, he said.
Shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima, on the DL
with a strained left hamstring, was set to take
groundballs and do some running as he con-
tinues to progress before going on his own
rehab assignment.
Were going to take the homestand and see
how things go, Paparesta said of both Rosales
and Nakajima.

center Andrew Bogut has a bone bruise in his
surgically repaired left
ankle.
An MRI exam on Friday
revealed the latest injury
complication for the often-
hobbled Australian big

Bogut sprained his ankle
during the Warriors loss
to Oklahoma City on
Thursday night, keeping
him out of Fridays game
against the Lakers. He has missed 49 of
Golden States 80 games this season.
Boguts MRI results will be examined by
the doctor who performed offseason
microfracture surgery on his ankle. The
Warriors should know more about the extent
of the injury in the next few days.
Golden State has clinched its second playoff
berth in 19 years, and began the night leading

coach Gary Woo, who took over the program
this season following four varsity seasons as a
Warrior from 2007-2010. Mentally, we just
werent prepared.
It appears the Scots enjoy a true homeeld
advantage back on the Belmont campus,
where Woo said his team had difculties with
the courts set-up.
I think not having the playing experience
there was one of the biggest factors. Woo
said.
But even with the loss, Woo said he consid-
ers the Warriors as heavy contenders for the
Bay title.
I think were denitely one of the better
teams in the league, he said. South Citys
mixed doubles team of Tiffany Ng and Bowie
Yu are currently undefeated on the year, and
the Warrior girls (both singles an doubles) are
really stepping their overall games up.
At 5-1, Carlmont denitely has the upper
hand early. But you cant count out the Dons,
who sit in third place and boast individual tal-
ent like that of Candy Zhang, the reigning
Daily Journal Girls Player of the Year, plus
Viviane Chen and Victoria Sun.
However, the Dons have teams like Mills
and El Camino ghting them for positioning
in the middle of the Bay.
Over in the Ocean, the assenscion of
Sequoia High School to the Bay has opened
the door and at 5-0 Crystal Springs Uplands
School has taken the early advantage.
But second-year head coach Rachell
Berania said the Gryphons current mark is a
bit deceiving and that the Ocean Division is
super tight especially at the top.
Being undefeated so far hasnt been easy,
Berania said. Its been tough to get to this
point and theres a lot of hard work behind it.
San Mateo High School, at 4-1, and Terra
Nova, at 3-2, are considered contenders to
Ocean badminton supremacy as well.
For the Gryphons, Berania said consistency
and a strong pair of No. 3 doubles teams has
really led the charge.
At this level, you basically know whos
good at the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked positions,
Berania said. So, if you have a good No. 3,
you have a large advantage.
For Crystal Springs, that advantage mani-
fests itself in the girls doubles team of
Fleming Peck (freshman) and Shikah
Avancha, plus a boys duo of Kent Kober and
Zach Canquini.
And, it doesnt hurt when youre No. 1
girls singles player is the Central Coast
Sections runner-up in sophomore Tiffany Xi.
The team has totally exceeded my expecta-
tions, Berania said. We want to keep our
heads level though because the other teams
are getting stronger.
Other teams like Burlingame, who are
hanging in the middle of the Ocean, are dan-
gerous because they are ripe with individual
talent.
The Panthers No. 1 singles player is the
two-time Daily Journal Player of the Year Jan
Banquilles. And in 2013, hes taken his play
up to the No. 7 ranked talent in the under-17
category for United States Badminton.
Banquilles isnt alone. The Panthers boast
ve players ranked in the top 100 boys in the
nation.
But head coach Sal Banquilles said his team
of Panthers is very young and 2013 has been
a season of rebuilding the program by plug-
ging inexperienced players in key situations.
The immediate results havent been great, but

he was drafted out of as a 16th round pick by
the Giants in 2009.
In four previous seasons of professional
baseball, he moved up a level per year all the
way to Double-A Richmond last season.
Moving back to High-A might discourage
some players, but not Cavan, who is under-
standably upbeat about he prospect of playing
so close to home to start the 2013 season.
I love it, Cavan said. Im happy to be
back. We have a really good team this year, so
Im excited to see how it plays out.
Double-A struggles
Cavan hit the rst major downturn of his
professional career last season with his pro-
motion to Double-A Richmond. Entering
2012, he touted a career .277 average in three
pervious seasons. But with the leap to the
Eastern League notorious as the toughest
leap on the Giants organizational ladder
Cavan scufed through a .228 season average.
Hes a guy who can hit, Giants roaming
infield instructor Jose Alguacil said.
Sometimes he goes in streaks the way hes
on-and-off. Hes a guy who puts a lot of pres-
sure on himself. He knows hes got to do a lit-
tle bit more than other people. He wants to be
in the big leagues like any other player here
with a uniform. I think sometimes thats what
hurts Cavan. Hes a guy that wants to get
things done today. And he doesnt understand
that theres tomorrow. And that can get him in
trouble. But hes a good kid and he keeps
working.
One of the benets for the organization of
Cavan returning to San Jose is it gives the
Giants exibility to move him between west-
coast teams Triple-A Fresno or short-season
Salem-Keizer as necessary. But Giants roving
instructor Steve Decker said the most impor-
tant thing for Cavans development is regular
playing time. But Richmond is all lled up
with top ineld prospect Joe Panik currently
playing second base, and 2012 San Jose
Giants Player of the Year Adam Duvall at
third. So at present, Cavan will see far more
playing time with San Jose.
Hes going to hit every day and hes going
to play every day, Decker said. And as far as
his hitting goes, we wanted to make sure that
he got back to doing what he was doing best
when he was successful here. And that was
attacking. Hes what we call a predator-type
hitter, which means hes aggressive to and
through the zone. He lets the bat y
through the zone.
Brand new glasses
Even though hes playing a new position,
Cavan is using the one-and-only ineld glove
hes used in previous years. However, he has
added a new tool to his arsenal a brand new
pair of prescription glasses. The specs were
issued just four days before Cavan reported
for spring training to correct an astigmatism.
And while he now looks like a superhero alter-
ego, the glasses seem to have given him new
super powers on the diamond.
I see the ball so much better, Cavan said.
I can see the change in speeds, like change-
ups, splitters, cutters. Im seeing the late
movement now for the rst time. And I think
thats allowed me to make more consistent
contact.
Cavans strong offensive showing started in
spring training. Although the journeyman
reported to minor-league camp, he got the
opportunity to play in a handful of games with
the major league squad. He even started a
game at second base and produced with an
RBI single in his rst at bat before blasting
a home run onto the right-center lawn of
Scottsdale Stadium later in the game.
Actually a fan caught it, Cavan said. And
then [Giants reliever George Kontos] got the
ball back from the fan. So I got the ball. Yeah,
it was kind of cool.
Outstanding defender
When Cavan rst broke into pro ball with
Salem-Keizer in 2009, he was an erratic
defender, to say the least. Over his rst two
pro seasons, he committed 43 errors as a mid-
dle inelder. In 2011 at San Jose however, he
turned a corner. Now he is considered one of
the best ineld gloves in the Giants organiza-
tion.
One of the great qualities, and what makes
him such a great player, is no matter how his
hitting was going up-and-down at times, hes
the best defender in all of baseball, Decker
said. And thats really a testament to who he
is as a person and an athlete. So we were real-
ly happy with that.

Greinke needs surgery,
expected to miss 8 weeks
PHOENIX Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher
Zack Greinke will need surgery to repair his
broken collarbone and is expected to miss
eight weeks.
Greinke was hurt Thursday night in a
bench-clearing brawl with the Padres that
started when San Diego slugger Carlos
Quentin charged the mound after he was hit
on the arm by a pitch.
The Dodgers said Greinke was examined
Friday by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles
and had a CT scan. ElAttrache and Dr. John
Itamura will operate Saturday at White
Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles to place a
rod in the clavicle to stabilize and align the
fracture.
Speaking to reporters before his team
played Arizona on Friday night, Dodgers
manager Don Mattingly said he wasnt sur-
prised by the extent of Greinkes injury.
We knew last night, for the most part, that
it was going to be extended, he said. Its
unfortunate.
Greinke, the 2009 AL Cy Young Award
winner, signed a $147 million, six-year con-
tract with the Dodgers during the offseason.
Obviously, the attention that he got this
winter and things that hes done in his past tell
you hes hard to replace, Mattingly said. I
guess were in a sense fortunate that we have
a few extra starters this spring, and right now
its a good thing.
Ted Lilly and Chris Capuano are the candi-
dates to take Greinkes next scheduled start on
Tuesday against the Padres in Los Angeles.
Lilly has been on the 15-day disabled list
since March 28.

LOCAL SCOREBOARD
BOSTON Lt. Col. Rodney Freeman was training for the
2005 Boston Marathon when his New Hampshire Army
National Guard unit shipped out to Iraq.
Goodbye, Heartbreak Hill.
Hello, Ziggurat of Ur.
I was planning to run, and the government had a different
idea, said Freeman, who gathered some friends together for a
shadow marathon at their military base outside Nasiriyah,
Iraq.
At that time, Iraq wasnt a very friendly place. Everything
coming out of Iraq was negative, Freeman said this week. Its
not the T-shirt. Its not the medal. Its not the marathon. Its the
fact that Mom and Dad could see something back home thats
positive.
The plans for that rst race grew from a handful of buddies
following a Humvee with a cooler of water to more than 350
runners, escorted by gun trucks, through the dusty Iraqi streets.
The Boston Athletic Association, which organizes the
marathon, has supported a shadow race for members of the
military each year since then.
For inspiring a new tradition in the worlds most traditional
road race, the B.A.A. presented Freeman with its Patriots
Award on Thursday night during the annual marathon kickoff
party.
A high school athlete while growing up in Maine, Freeman
wasnt willing to give up on his dream of running Boston after
he was deployed overseas. He gathered a few friends for a
26.2-mile run on Marathon Monday and sent off an email to
the B.A.A. to let them know his plan.
The marathon organizers promised support, but they also
encouraged Freeman to see if he could get more people
involved. Soon, he had enlisted hundreds of runners and
arranged for a course that took them off the base and to the
Ziggurat of Ur, a 4,000-year-old pyramidal platform built by
the Mesopotamians.
Leaving the base meant an escort of two gun trucks and
scheduling that part of the run in the morning, before the heat
and the locals were out in full force. Portable bathrooms and
mobile hospitals were set out along the course. The Humvee
with a cooler grew to eight tractor-trailers full of water.
Instead of New England spring rain, Freeman had to worry
about a sandstorm that hit two days before the race and prepare
for sweltering heat. The run started at 6 a.m. to avoid the
hottest part of the day; by noon that day, the temperatures had
climbed to 130 degrees.
The B.A.A. sent over T-shirts and bibs for all the runners and
nishers medals just like the ones they hand out in Copley
Square at the end of the 26.2-mile trek from Hopkinton. A ban-
ner with the organizations unicorn logo was hung over the
start and nish line.
Just like Boston shuts down for the day, the base shut down
for the day, Freeman said. It became something bigger than
me.
In fact, the event grew so large that Freeman was too busy to
run in it. After he returned to the States, he was invited back to
run Boston; he nished the 2006 race in about 4 hours, 30 min-
utes.
Since the 2005 race at Camp Adder, thousands of runners
have participated in shadow marathons each year in Iraq and
Afghanistan; the 2008 race on the supercarrier USS Nimitz
was delayed for several days because of 50-knot winds and 14-
foot waves.

Learn how to grow a bountiful summer vegetable garden from
seed or with starts using sustainable measures and without the
use of harmful and pollution pesticides.
Free rafe of a compost bin and vegetable starts
out of the question. Starting pitcher Matt McGarry was nails,
pitching a complete game, ve hitter in his rst start in two
weeks. He threw 97 pitches, striking out ve and walking only
one.
[His performance] was close to awless,Amoroso said. He
had six three-ball counts, which is something hes been working
on. At least he didnt walk them. You cant defend a walk.
The Bears had experienced the gamut of games during their
slide. They dropped a couple of close games, along with a pair of
blowouts. Things didnt start out well for M-A as Terra Nova (4-
2, 11-3) scratched out an unearned run in the top of the rst
inning on an Anthony Gordon sacrice y.
M-A, however, did not sit around feeling sorry for itself.
Instead, the Bears came back with a ve-spot in the bottom of the
rst, sending nine batters to the plate and banging out four hits in
the process. The rst seven M-A batters reached base safely, with
McGarry, Alex Aguiar, Brett Moriarty and A.J. Lemons coming
up with consecutive run-scoring singles to put M-A up 4-1.
Moriarty would steal home on the back end of a delayed double
steal for the Bears fth run of the inning.
M-A scored nine runs on 12 hits, led by Moriarty, who was 3
for 4 with four RBIs. McGarry was 2 for 4 with an RBI and two
runs scored, while Aguiar also went 3 for 4 with an RBI and two
runs scored.
Hitting is contagious, Amoroso said. We strung some hits
together.
That would be more than enough offense for McGarry, who
was never seriously threatened the rest of the way. Terra Nova
managed to get only four more runners into scoring position over
the nal six innings of the game.
They put us to sleep, said Terra Nova manager Joey Gentile.
Beau Eastman came on in relief in the second inning for Terra
Nova and he kept the M-A bats in relative check. The senior lefty
kept the Bears off balance with a slinging, side-arm release.
Eastman went the nal ve innings for the Tigers, allowing four
runs (two earned) on eight hits.
I thought Beau did a great job, Gentile said.
Eastman held the Bears scoreless in the second through fourth
innings before they nally got to him in the fth when they
tacked on two more runs for a 7-1 lead. McGarry led off the
inning with a single and Aguiar followed with a bloop double to
shallow right eld. Moriarty followed with a two-run single to
center.
Terra Novas best chance to make a game of it disappeared in
the bottom of the inning when Kobe Christo was called out at the
plate as he tried to score on a wild pitch. It appeared Christo beat
the tag, but the umpire thought otherwise.
That turned the momentum, Gentile said.
M-A added a pair of unearned runs in the top of the sixth with
Erik Amundson and Charles Grose each scoring to give the Bears
the nal margin of victory.
Its an inspirational win, Amoroso said. Now well try to
build off something.

NYON, Switzerland Its a Spain vs. Germany double bill
in the Champions League seminals.
Barcelona will play Bayern Munich and Real Madrid will
face Borussia Dortmund as Fridays draw kept the Spanish and
German teams apart.
I nd it very thrilling to be playing against the best team in
Europe, Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said.
Seeking its fourth title in eight years, Barcelona opens at
Bayern on April 23 in a matchup of runaway league leaders,
then hosts the second leg on May 1. Real Madrid starts at
Dortmund on April 24 and is home on April 30.
The draw avoided a rematch of the foul-lled 2011 semi-
nal between the Spanish powers, won by Barcelona on 3-1
aggregate.
Real Madrid defeated defending champion Dortmund 2-0 in
the 1998 seminals, winning the rst leg 2-0 at home.
I dont have to repeat that Real is a difcult opponent, but
from the three possible opponents Real is the only one weve
beaten this season, Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said.
The winners meet in the nal on May 25 at Londons
Wembley Stadium, where Barcelona beat Manchester United
in the 2011 nal.
In the second-tier Europa League, Chelsea meets Basel and
Fenerbahce plays Benca. The Swiss and Turkish teams are

Egypt leader and military
chief put tension aside
CAIRO Egypts Islamist president made
a strong show of unity with the military,
standing by the countrys top general and
warning in a statement broadcast Friday
against slandering the armed forces after
leaks from a report that the president himself
commissioned implicated troops in the killing
of protesters.
The ndings of the report if conrmed,
since the report itself has not been made pub-
lic are potentially embarrassing for the
military, which has presented itself as the ally
of protesters in the 18-day uprising that top-
pled autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
The findings would also put President
Mohammed Morsi in a sensitive position.
After vowing to win justice for slain protest-
ers in his election campaign, he commis-
sioned the report soon after his inauguration
in June, forming a fact-nding panel to inves-
tigate the deaths of more than 1,000 killed in
the uprising and during the nearly 17-month
rule by the military that followed Mubaraks
fall. But now in ofce, he needs the backing
of the powerful military, and following up on
the missions ndings would likely bring a
backlash from the generals.
In the statement aired Friday from a meet-
ing the night before, Morsi stood beside army
chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, with the mil-
itarys top brass lined up around him. El-Sissi
staunchly denied any abuses by the military
and both he and the president denounced
slanders against the armed forces, though
neither referred directly to the leaked report.
I will not ever allow slanders in any way,
shape or form or ... any means to attack any
member of the armed forces, Morsi vowed.
Beyond the issue of the report, the high-
prole meeting appeared to be putting an end,
for now, to weeks of behind-the-scene ten-
sions between the military and the presidency.
The statements by the two leaders seemed to
be a mutual recognition of the need to work
together at a time of increasing polarization in
the country that has threatened to slip into
sustained bloody violence.
There have suggestions of friction between
the military and the presidency over a string
of issues, including the militarys clampdown
on tunnels between Egypt and Gaza ruled
by Hamas, an ally of Morsis Muslim
Brotherhood and over the fate of a border
region claimed by Sudan, whose Islamist gov-
ernment is also close to the Brotherhood.
Some Egyptian media have presented the
signs as pointing to a full-blown crisis
between the two sides.
Lithuanian woman shares
home with three puma cubs
KLAIPEDA, Lithuania A Lithuanian
woman says she has been raising three pumas
in her three-room apartment after fearing for
their lives at the local zoo.
Rasa Veliute, a 23-year-old volunteer at the
zoo in Klaipeda, a Baltic Sea port town, says
she took the cubs home four months ago after
their mother began neglecting them.
The pumas also known as mountain
lions or cougars are named Kipsas, Gipse
and Kinde. Veliute says they eat a lot of chick-
en and get along well with her East European
shepherd dog.
There is no Lithuanian law barring keeping
the animals at home, and the zoo did not
object to Veliutes actions. But Veliute told
reporters Friday that the pumas have grown
fast and will likely return to the zoo this sum-
mer.

WASHINGTON On the brink of an
expected North Korean missile test, U.S.
officials focused on the limits of
Pyongyangs nuclear firepower Friday, trying
to shift attention from the disclosure that the
Koreans might be able to launch a nuclear
strike. They insisted that while the unpre-
dictable government might have rudimentary
nuclear capabilities, it has not proven it has a
weapon that could reach the United States.
A senior defense official said the U.S. sees
a strong likelihood that North Korea will
launch a test missile in coming days in defi-
ance of international calls for restraint. The
effort is expected to test the Norths ballistic
missile technologies, not a nuclear weapon,
said the official, who was granted anonymity
to discuss intelligence matters.
Unless the missile unexpectedly heads for
a U.S. or allied target, the Pentagon does not
plan to try to shoot it down, several officials
said. As a precaution, the U.S. has arrayed in
the Pacific a number of missile defense Navy
ships, tracking radars and other elements of
its worldwide network for shooting down
hostile missiles.
The tensions playing out on the Korean
peninsula are the latest in a long-running
drama that dates to the 1950-53 Korean War,
fed by the Norths conviction that
Washington is intent on destroying the gov-
ernment in Pyongyang and Washingtons
worry that the North could, out of despera-
tion, reignite the war by invading the South.
The mood in the North Korean capital,
meanwhile, was hardly so tense. Many peo-
ple were in the streets preparing for the birth-
day of national founder Kim Il Sung the
biggest holiday of the year. Even so, this
years big flower show in Kims honor fea-
tures an exhibition of orchids built around
mock-ups of red-tipped missiles, slogans
hailing the military and reminders of threats
to the nation.
The plain fact is that no one can be sure
how far North Korea has progressed in its
pursuit of becoming a full-fledged nuclear
power, aside perhaps from a few people close
to its new leader, Kim Jong Un.
Concern about the Norths threatening
rhetoric jumped a notch on Thursday with the
disclosure on Capitol Hill that the U.S.
Defense Intelligence Agency believes with
moderate confidence that the North could
deliver a nuclear weapon by ballistic missile.
The DIA assessment did not mention the
potential range of such a strike, but it led to a
push by administration officials to minimize
the significance of the jarring disclosure.
Secretary of State John Kerry said in Seoul
on Friday its inaccurate to suggest that the
North had fully tested and demonstrated its
ability to deliver a nuclear weapon by ballis-
tic missile, a message also delivered by the
Pentagon and by James Clapper, the director
of national intelligence.
Indeed, the attention-getting DIA report
made no such suggestion; it simply offered
what amounts to an educated guess that the
North has some level of nuclear weapons
capability. It has been working on that for at
least 20 years, and private analysts who
closely track North Korean developments say
its fairly clear that the North has made
progress.
Kerry, who was headed to Beijing to seek
Chinese help in persuading North Korea to
halt its nuclear and missile testing, told
reporters in Seoul that the Norths progress
on nuclear weapons, as described in the DIA
report, pushed the country closer to a line
that is more dangerous. Kerry also was due
to visit Japan.
U.S.stresses limits of North Koreas firepower
By Bradley Klapper
SEOUL, South Korea U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerry delivered a stark warning to
North Korea on Friday not to test-re a mid-
range missile, while tamping down anxiety
caused by a new U.S. intelligence report sug-
gesting signicant progress in the communist
regimes nuclear weapons program.
Kicking off four days of talks in an East
Asia beset by increasing North Korean
threats, Kerry told reporters in Seoul that
Pyongyang and its enigmatic young leader
would only increase their isolation if they
launched the missile that American ofcials
believe has a range of some 2,500 miles or
enough to reach the U.S. territory of Guam.
If Kim Jong Un decides to launch a mis-
sile, whether its across the Sea of Japan or
some other direction, he will be choosing
willfully to ignore the entire international
community, Kerry told reporters. And it
will be a provocation and unwanted act that
will raise peoples temperatures.
If the trajectory of the test missile suggests
that it could be a threat to either the U.S. or
allies, the military would move to shoot it
down from one of nine warships armed with
sophisticated ballistic missile defense sys-
tems in the Pacic, including two that were
moved closer to the Korean peninsula, U.S.
officials said, speaking on condition of
anonymity because they were not authorized
to publicly discuss military plans.
Kerry said the test would be a huge mis-
take for Kim.
It will further isolate his country and fur-
ther isolate his people who are desperate for
food and not missile launches, he warned.
They are desperate for opportunity and not
for a leader to ex his muscles.
Kerrys diplomatic tour, while planned
long in advance, is unusual in that it brings
him directly to a region of escalated tensions
and precisely at a time when North Korea is
threatening action. The North often times its
military and nuclear tests to generate maxi-
mum attention, and Kerrys presence on the
peninsula alone risked spurring Pyongyang
into another provocation. Another key date is
the 101st birthday of the nations founder,
Kim Il Sung, on April 15.

T
here are an uncountable number of
words in the English language. Yet
we use the same four with unfailing
frequency to greet each other.
Hi, how are you? we ask to the people
we see on the streets, in hallways, restaurants
and various other meeting
places. We ask this uncre-
ative question multiple
times a day and, more
often than not, we dont
wait to hear the answer.
The perplexity of this sit-
uation has always puzzled
me. While I myself have
been guilty of perpetrat-
ing this useless and automatic trend, I cant
help thinking that there must be a better way.
Out of the incredible amount of words in
our everyday vocabulary, it shouldnt be too
hard to come up with some new ideas, ques-
tions that would provide an actual look into
the life of the person involved. Questions that
would make us pause for a few seconds, long
enough to actually want to catch the answer.
So what would this ideal question do? It
should be personal. No one wants to be
greeted by the same generic phrase over and
over again. As a high school senior, I can
attest to how tiresome it can be. I can only
take so many more questions along the lines
of Where will you be next year? and
What schools did you get into? If someone
were to ask me a more personal, more specif-
ic question about college, I would not mind
as much. Id even reward that creative person
with an honest, thoughtful answer.
By taking the time to put a little more
thought into the way we greet each other and
the questions we ask in passing, well get to
know the people were greeting exponentially
better. Of course, if mere politeness is what
you go for in a greeting, then simply say
hi. Dont bother asking how someone is if
youre not going to listen to them answer
you. It would be better not to have asked at
all.
Hi, how are you?

The Whipping Man is a play thats worth
seeing again because the Marin Theatre
Company production is so gripping in the
hands of MTC artistic director Jasson
Minadakis and his three-man cast.
It takes place between April 13 and 15,
1865, in a once-grand Richmond, Va., home
thats now in shambles. The Civil War had
ended April 9, thus ending slavery. Simon (L.
Peter Callender), a house slave, has stayed
behind to guard the house while his wife and
daughter joined their master and mistress in a
safer area.
The masters son, Confederate Capt. Caleb
DeLeon (Nicholas Pelczar), staggers home
from the war with a gangrenous leg wound. A
younger house slave, John (Tobie Windham),
arrives shortly thereafter, apparently eeing a
pursuer.
Simon tells Caleb that if his leg isnt ampu-
tated, he could die, but Caleb wont go to a
hospital. Therefore, Simon amputates the leg
in a wrenching scene.
Because the three are Jewish, they decide to
have an improvised Seder to celebrate
Passover, which had begun a day or so earlier.
Before they begin, though, Simon arrives with
terrible news: President Lincoln has been
assassinated. Calling him Father Abraham
who set us free, Simon speaks movingly
about the day he met Lincoln.
This speech is one of the plays highlights.
John has another when he describes being
savagely whipped by the whipping man, to
whom masters would take misbehaving
slaves. Calebs most moving scene comes in a
Whipping Man a gripping Civil War drama

WEEKEND JOURNAL 21
By David Rooney
LOS ANGELES Its a given at multi-
plexes these days that despite switch-off-
your-cellphone announcements and the occa-
sional grumbling protest, whatevers onscreen
will have to compete with tiny pockets of light
from audience members unable to stay off
their handhelds. Watching those glow patches
come and go during Disconnect reinforces
the lms position on how desensitized weve
become to these technological intrusions. Not
that Henry-Alex Rubins schematic multi-
strand drama is at all shy about articulating its
themes.
Directing his rst narrative feature, docu-
mentary-maker Rubin (Murderball) has
assembled a solid cast and weaves together
the three interconnected stories of Andrew
Sterns original screenplay with elegance and
efciency. But this is a lm that voices its
warning about the hazards of a wired exis-
tence with solemn self-importance. Its also
quite late in the day to be pointing out that
were so plugged into our devices we often
fail to see or hear the people closest to us.
Thats not to say Disconnect is without
powerful scenes, and a thread about the heed-
less consequences of cyber pranks among
kids on social network sites probably stands
to reach more adolescents than non-ction
treatments of bullying.
Nina (Andrea Riseborough) is a TV news
reporter investigating porn chat sites that
recruit underage teens, many of them run-
aways. She establishes a connection online
with Kyle (Max Thieriot), at rst in private
chats and then cam-to-cam. They eventually
meet and she convinces him to participate in
an exposi, promising to keep his identity con-
cealed. But when the story is picked up by
CNN, representing a huge professional coup
for ambitious Nina, it lands on the FBIs
radar, placing her under pressure to betray her
source.
The networks legal counsel is Rich Boyd
(Jason Bateman), who has more urgent issues
with his troubled 15-year-old son Ben (Jonah
Bobo). An aspiring musician and friendless
high school loner, Ben is targeted for humili-
ation by skater buddies Jason (Colin Ford)
and Frye (Aviad Bernstein), who invent a
female handle and begin messaging him.
They start by admiring his music and then
take it sexual, sending a naked photo and
requesting that he do the same.
Jasons father Mike (Frank Grillo) is a wid-
owed former cop from the computer crimes
unit, now working as a private investigator.
Victims of credit card fraud, ex-Marine
Derek (Alexander Skarsgard) and his wife
Cindy (Paula Patton) hire Mike when the
police prove unhelpful and the couples sav-
ings and assets are taken. Retracing Cindys
participation in an online grief support group
following the death of their baby, Mike
believes he has found the identity thief. But
obtaining concrete evidence proves too slow
for Derek, who confronts the suspect
(Michael Nyqvist).
The ways in which technology has polluted
communication for these people are laid out
with exacting thoroughness in Sterns script.
Rich is constantly consumed by work calls
and emails at home; Ben is so plugged into a
headset or a laptop that he rarely speaks;
Cindy shares secrets about her marriage with
a screen moniker.
The thematic points are made clearly, with
well-sustained tension and no shortage of dra-
matic impact. Its just that its all a bit obvi-
ous, becoming self-consciously operatic when
Rubin crosscuts among the slow-mo violence
that brings each story to its climax. And the
ensuing moral lessons and re-established
human connections are a bit too neat and tidy.
There are compelling performances to bol-
ster the material, however, including from
some of the young cast members.
Thieriot ably straddles the lines within
Kyle. Like his irty online persona, appearing
in just underwear and tattoos, he has learned
to use sex and cockiness to get by, but shows
vulnerability when he starts to believe there
might be another way forward in life. Fords
Jason early on reveals ickers of a conscience
to distinguish him from more callous Frye.
Looking like a young Paul Dano, Bobo makes
Ben a heartrendingly fragile outsider, and as
the popular sister who beats herself up about
ignoring his pain, Haley Ramm has affecting
moments.
Standout among the bigger names is
Bateman, whose obsessive determination to
nd the trigger for Bens desperation drives
the developments of that strand. Hope Davis
is given too little to do as Richs wife, con-
cerned only about her sons health and not
with assigning guilt.
Riseborough is stuck with a character that
becomes less credible as her interaction with
Kyle continues after the news report. But
Grillo is a strong presence, and Skarsgard,
considerably drabbed down from his True
Disconnect an earnest cautionary tale
Disconnectis a lm that voices its warning about the hazards of a wired existence with solemn self-importance.Its also quite late in the day
to be pointing out that were so plugged into our devices we often fail to see or hear the people closest to us.

Oscar Wildes play The Importance
of Being Earnest has amused audiences
with its wit and satire since 1895. Now
its the basis for a world premiere musi-
cal, Being Earnest, presented by
TheatreWorks.
Composers Paul Gordon and Jay
Gruska have updated the setting to 1965,
a time captured by Fumiko Bielefeldts
costume designs, which are inuenced
by Carnaby Street.
Unfortunately, the costumes are more
appropriate to the times than the music.
While the Beatles and other such groups
were dominating pop charts with boun-
cy, hummable tunes, Gordon and
Gruskas score seems bland and repeti-
tious.
Thanks to a top-notch cast and Robert
Kelleys direction, however, the show
still has entertainment value. It also ben-
ets from Wildes words, which Gordon
has incorporated into his book and some
of the lyrics.
The plot focuses on two young
English gentlemen, Algernon Moncrieff
(Euan Morton) and Jack Worthing
(Hayden Tee), who resort to deception to
woo the women to which theyre attract-
ed. Algernon pursues Cecily Cardew
(Riley Krull), Jacks ward. Jack courts
Gwendolen Fairfax (Mindy Lym),
Algernons cousin.
One of the obstacles they face is
Gwendolens mother, Lady Bracknell
(Maureen McVerry), who prefers being
proper and maintaining her social status.
Completing the cast are Diana Torres
Koss and Brian Herndon.
Everyone sings well, but Mortons
unflappable Algernon and McVerrys
snooty Lady Bracknell are especially
noteworthy. A mainstay of Bay Area the-
ater, McVerry also may be familiar to
Peninsulans because of her musical the-
ater work with middle school students.
Another reason why she is a standout
is that Bielefeldt has given her some gor-
geous costumes, especially in the nal
scene. Bielefeldt has also designed an
eye-catching outfit for Lym, who
appears in a Mary Quant-inspired
ensemble in the second act. Both Lym
and Krull sport the go-go boots so popu-
lar at that time.
Musical director William Liberatore
conducts four other musicians from the
pit. The set is by Joe Ragey with lighting
by Steven B. Mannshardt. The sound
design by Jeff Mockus is sometimes too
loud.
Gordon turned Emma and Jane
Eyre into award-winning musicals, but
with Being Earnest, the costumes are
more memorable than the music.
Being Earnest will continue at the
Mountain View Center for the
Performing Arts, Castro and Mercy
streets, through April 28. For tickets and

Groundbreaking comic
Jonathan Winters dies
By John Rogers
LOS ANGELES Jonathan Winters, the cherub-faced
comedian whose breakneck improvisations and mist charac-
ters inspired the likes of Robin Williams and Jim Carrey, has
died. He was 87.
The Ohio native died Thursday evening at his Montecito,
Calif., home of natural causes, said Joe Petro III, a longtime
friend. He was surrounded by family and friends.
Winters was a pioneer of improvisational standup comedy,
with an exceptional gift for mimicry, a grab bag of eccentric
personalities and a bottomless reservoir of creative energy.

ashback, when he writes a letter to his beloved from a battle-
eld.
Each man dreams about what hell do now that the war and
slavery have ended. Each also has a secret that makes his
future uncertain.
This gripping, provocative drama looks at that era in a dif-
ferent light and through differing viewpoints. Callenders
Simon is a wise, centered presence. Pelczars Caleb has suf-
fered greatly and has come to doubt his faith. Windhams John
is the most complex character, an intelligent, angry man with
dreams, a penchant for theft and, like Simon, a deep faith.
The Whipping Man also draws intriguing parallels
between the Jews who were freed from slavery in Egypt and
the Southern blacks who were freed from slavery in this coun-
try. Thus it works on many levels, meriting more than one
viewing.
It will continue at Marin Theatre Company, 397 Miller Ave.,
Mill Valley, through April 28. For tickets and information call
(415) 388-5208 or visit www.marintheatre.org.

WHIPPING
Blood look, conveys the simmering anger of an Iraqi vet
reduced to being a thankless paper-pusher. He and Patton
effectively draw the lines that isolate them in their grief and
then the slow thaw as they face a fresh crisis together.
In a curious bit of casting, fashion designer Marc Jacobs reg-
isters convincingly in his couple of scenes as Harvey, the
sleazy surrogate parent of the sex-cam models, luring them off
the street with the promise of shelter and income.
While the city locations are somewhat anonymously any-
place, cinematographer Ken Seng gives the lm a suitably
cold, almost grim look, echoed in Max Richters mainly elec-
tronic score. Extreme closeups and onscreen text exchanges
are used skillfully to engage us in the cyber dialogue, and edi-
tors Lee Percy and Kevin Tent uidly keep each of the stories
in equal play.
Disconnect, an LD Entertainment release, is rated R for

DISCONNECT
brutal war, the humans and aliens have
settled into an uneasy peace, but alien
technology that crashed to Earth has
drastically changed the landscape.
The Defiance game shows the
effects of these arkfalls on Californias
Bay Area, now a wasteland packed with
bloodthirsty mutants, hostile cyborgs
and overgrown, fire-spewing insects.
Your character male or female,
human or Votan is an ark hunter who
makes a living by scavenging from crash
sites, and the search for a particular alien
artifact brings you to the West Coast.
Soon after your arrival, the games
sprawling map opens up, letting you
choose from dozens of missions. You
can race dune buggies around the
wilderness. You can infiltrate raider
strongholds and steal their loot. You can
rescue farmers from hellbug infesta-
tions. Most missions can be handled
solo, but if you stumble across a major
arkfall youre going to need help from
other online players.
Youll also discover episode mis-
sions that relate to the next weeks
installment of the Deance TV show.
In the rst such adventure, you meet
military veteran Joshua Nolan and his
partner, an alien named Irisa. They ask
for your help retrieving a lost Votan
doohickey, which turns out to be a sig-
nicant plot device in the premiere of
the Syfy drama.
The titular town of Deance was built
on the ruins of St. Louis, so I dont know
how many of its characters will visit us
ark hunters out West. But both sides of
the Deance team have collaborated
on building an impressive world, and
Im eager to see where they go from
week to week.
I was able to battle through the initial
batch of episode missions in just a few
hours, but theres plenty more to do. As
with any online shooter, you can engage
in raucous death matches with your fel-
low humans. Or you can enroll in the
Shadow War, in which huge teams of up
to 64 players each battle for control of
sites all over the map.
Such massively multiplayer epics are
popular among computer gamers, but we
havent seen many on consoles. Ive
been playing Deance on the Xbox
360, and I love being able to use an
Xbox controller instead of a PCs key-
board and mouse. On the other hand, I
was frequently unable to log onto
Trions servers during the rst few days
after the game went on sale. That prob-
lem has eased up, but there are still too
many glitches, from unresponsive con-
trols to disappearing inventory items.
Theres also a wearying sameness to
the bulk of the missions, which typically
consist of racing to a location, killing a
bunch of monsters and retrieving some
object. The action is intense and chal-
lenging, often reminiscent of 2K Games
ne Borderlands. But its missing that
series twisted sense of humor, and Im
hoping Trion delivers more variety in
future episodes. Its a work in progress;
for now, I give it two stars out of four.
DEFIANCE
But if a genuine concern for the well-
being and mental health of those you
greet daily is present, then asking them
unique questions will be much appreci-
ated. Not only will the person youre
talking to be pleased by the unexpected
cleverness of your questions, they will
reward you with unique answers.
For example, if you ask someone for
three adjectives describing their being
at the current state they are in, you will
get a slew of interesting words in
response. Tired, ecstatic, splendid or
downright miserable, just to name a
few. You could ask how a persons rela-
tive is doing, although you should be
prepared to hear long, detailed-to-a-
fault stories about so-and-sos mothers
toe surgery.
If you ask about cats, dogs, sloths or
other household pets, you might have to
wait through a slide show of pictures
dedicated to Fluffy. Youll also be
expected to conrm that yes; Fluffy is
in fact the cutest dog, cat, sloth or other
animal alive. And you might have to
assure a proud uncle that, yes; his little
niece denitely is the prettiest princess
around.
So while an unpredictable question
will inevitably generate an unpre-
dictable answer, it will absolutely make
life more interesting. All it takes is a lit-
tle effort to get a big reward which, in
this case, involves a little more thought
of the parts of both people involved.
Instead of the normal, almost mechani-
cal way in which we interact with each
other in passing, it would be much
more fullling to take the time needed
to ask personal questions that will gen-
erate interesting answers.

Facial contortions, sound effects, tall tales

Jonathan Winters was the worthy cus-
todian of a sparkling and childish comedic
genius. He did Gods work. I was lucky 2
know him, Carrey tweeted on Friday.
On Jack Paars television show in 1964,
Winters was handed a foot-long stick and
he swiftly became a sherman, violinist,
lion tamer, canoeist, U.N. diplomat, bull-
ghter, utist, delusional psychiatric
patient, British headmaster and Bing
Crosbys golf club.
As a kid, I always wanted to be lots of
things, he told U.S. News & World
Report in 1988. I was a Walter Mitty
type. I wanted to be in the French Foreign
Legion, a detective, a doctor, a test pilot
with a scarf, a sherman who hauled in a
tremendous marlin after a 12-hour ght.
The humor most often was based in
reality his characters Maude Frickert
and Elwood P. Suggins, for example, were
based on people Winters knew growing up
in Ohio.
A devotee of Groucho Marx and Laurel
and Hardy, Winters and his free-for-all
brand of humor inspired Johnny Carson,
Billy Crystal, Tracey Ullman and Lily
Tomlin, among many others. But
Williams and Carrey are his best-known
followers.

the workspaces is an array of artists working
in various media including stone carving, jew-
elry, painting, photography, wood working
and ber.
We feel we have the opportunity to offer
the community the best we can, Waters said.
Artists competed for the studio space that
lled up months in advance and were rigor-
ously chosen based on quality, diversity and
originality, Waters said. Seven board members
are responsible for evaluating candidates for
both workspace and exhibitions. Each mem-
ber is an artist, including Waters, who works
in hardwood, bronze, marble and large-scale
installations.
Waters afnity for hardwood carving dates
back to her childhood when her parents
restored antique furniture. Waters hand chisels
and sands large blocks of salvaged wood to
create her sculptures.
Millinery ber artist Wayne Wichern is leg-
endary in his eld, having led workshops at
the de Young museum and the prestigious
Penland School of Crafts. He now works out
of space at the Peninsula Art Institute where
he will teach a class in exquisite hat making.
If you want to learn something well, teach
the next person, because you have to be able to
communicate the technical and, in many
cases, the artistic inuence as well, Wichern
said.
Wichern has amassed more than 1,000
antique wooden hat molds in the 27 years hes
been in the business. Wichern had previously
worked out of his home studio and was subject
to storing many of his tools. Now a member of
the institute, Wichern said hes able to share in
the synergistic inspiration of fellow resident
artists. Teaching is both informative and
rewarding, he added.
I learned a long time ago to give it all away,
because you get so much more back, he said.
The museum personnel will offer both
youth and adult classes to enrich the commu-
nity and assist in replacing artistic outlets
often dismissed in schools due to budget cuts,
Waters said. Math and science have always
been supported in schools and can be rein-
forced through nurturing the creative mind,
Waters said.
The institute is developing the Leonardo
Studio, a program geared toward integrating
the arts and sciences, Waters said. These elds
are not mutually exclusive and success
requires the creative ability to see outside the
box, Waters said. Children from kindergarten
to eighth grade will be encouraged to attend
classes at the museum.
I think its going to catch on very well, its
an approach thats not commonly taken. Its
natural to this area, the brain power is just out-
standing, Waters said.
The San Francisco and Berkeley areas have
ourished in the arts and culture scene, while
Silicon Valley became home to some of the
most advanced scientic minds. Waters mis-
sion is to create a middle ground that will har-
bor the integration of both.
Resources include a library where visitors
can be inspired while browsing the 1,400
available books. A platen press center in one
of the lower level studios is a unique facility
with equipment publicly accessed in only two
or three places in the North Bay, Waters said.
The museum store is an economic support
to local artists, some of whom are outside of
the museum and institute structure, who can
sell their uniquely crafted pieces. The halls
lining the studios are decorated with examples
of the artists works, encouraging visitors to
peek in or chat with present artists.
The facilities exist due to generous dona-
tions, experienced volunteers and docents who
value the cultural arts. The Peninsula Museum
of Art and the Peninsula Art Institute are there
to entertain, support and enhance the local cul-
ture, Waters said.
We expect to bring in visitors to the
Burlingame area, as well as provide a visual
treat to the Burlingame residents, Waters
said.
The Peninsula Museum of Art and the
Peninsula Art Institute are located at 1777
California Drive in Burlingame. For hours,

classroom 10 and taken 22 computers from a
locked cart, Principal Skip Johnson said at the
time. The theft came as a big blow for the
school which has plans to open as a magnet in
the fall with a technology focus. After hearing
about the theft, two men decided to do some-
thing about it. As a result, Facebook donated 20
refurbished 15-inch MacBook Pros, according
to a company spokesman.
Eric Sylvester, a program manager on the IT
team at Facebook, heard about the theft from a
colleague at the San Mateo County Health
Department. He initiated the donation at that
time, and his colleague Anup Patel helped get
the laptops ready for the students, a Facebook
representative wrote in an email Friday.
Now the school can get back to using tech-
nology in all aspects. This fall, El Crystal is
expected to welcome more students and be
converted into a school that focuses on a sci-
ence, technical engineering and mathematics,
or STEM. Even before the switch, computers
are generally used all day at the school and
shared by the student body.
However, the police are still looking for leads
about the theft.
Police responded to a burglary alarm being
activated at El Crystal, 201 Balboa Way, at
10:08 p.m. March 28. Ofcers found the door
of one the classrooms forced open and the con-
tents of the room had been tampered with,
according to a press release from the police
department. Ofcers searched the area but did
not nd any suspects.
Police Chief Neil Telford encouraged anyone
with information to contact police at 616-7100.

saTUrday, aPriL 13, 2013
ariEs (March 21-April 19) -- To get what you
want, you might be tempted to employ subterfuge.
However, if you do, it could turn out to be a major
embarrassment.
TaUrUs (April 20-May 20) -- If you have a lot of
rushing around to do, you could easily get careless
with your possessions. Make sure you have your
valuables on your person at all times.
GEMini (May 21-June 20) -- If youre unprepared to
help yourself, why should you expect others to pick
up the slack? Success is more than likely to elude
you, through no fault but your own.
CanCEr (June 21-July 22) -- Fight off any
tendencies toward self-pity, because it is a futile
state. Your family and companions will be immersed
in their own problems and will have little sympathy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Instead of feeling obligated
to do business with a frm that youve dealt with
previously, go where you can get the best deal.
Sentiment can be unaffordable at times.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Indecision or
inconsistency on your part can be unnerving to your
associates. To maintain your credibility, you must do
what you say, and do it confdently.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont treat an
assignment indifferently just because you feel its
beneath you. If you fail to deliver, it could greatly
damage your prospects.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- There is a strong
possibility that you could be too gullible in your
commercial dealings. Be extra careful and question
everything, especially in unfamiliar waters.
saGiTTariUs (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be wary of
getting deeply and quickly involved with someone
you just met. Let things develop slowly, and time will
be the judge.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Strive to be a
productive individual instead of a procrastinator.
What you put off doing now will most likely never
get done.
aQUariUs (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your impulse for
instant gratifcation could cause dire fnancial
complications. Stop deluding yourself into making
rash purchases.
PisCEs (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Dont anticipate
failure before you even give something the old
college try. You have as much chance of winning as
you do of losing. Focus on the former, not the latter.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Manuel J. Gil
Case Number: 123245
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Manuel J. Gil. A Petition
for Probate has been filed by Marsha Ca-
sillas. in the Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo. The Petition for
Probate requests that Marsha Casillas
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests that the decedents
will and codicils, if any, be admitted to
probate. The will and any codicils are
available for examination in the file kept
by the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: May 10, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28,, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Community-Supported Agriculture is
about as close as you can get.
Right now, CSAs are operating with-
out any established certication process.
Theyre kind of in a no-mans-land,
said Gordon.
And this no-mans-land could create
an environment where regulators con-
cerned with public safety could come in
and say you cannot operate anymore, he
said.
There have not been any serious issues
with these small citizen-farmer partner-
ships as of yet. But Gordon does not
want to wait around for regulators to
come down on these small operations.
Were trying to be very proactive, he
said. We want to make sure these farm-
ers are protected.
The details of Gordons proposed leg-
islation, Assembly Bill 224, are still
being worked out, but he said his main
purpose is to avoid the establishment of
a one-size-ts-all regulation that ham-
pers the operations of CSAs. He aims to
establish a no-cost certication process
that takes into account the various sizes
and types of CSAs.
He would like the Department of Food
and Agriculture to help increase public
awareness of CSAs by listing options on
its website, like it does for farmers mar-
kets.
Regulating relationships
In the ideal CSA, the consumer has a
direct relationship with the farmer.
[Consumers] are the weekly moni-
tors, said Jered Lawson, executive
director of Pie Ranch in Pescadero.
Where the relationship is real and gen-
uine, you dont need regulators looking
over your shoulder.
Lawson has been working for decades
establishing CSAs including the
Homeless Garden Project and train-
ing others at UC Santa Cruz on starting
their own.
For small farm viability, of course,
continuing to operate without any regu-
latory involvement would be great, he
said.
But Lawson knows that the idea of the
CSA now encompasses larger farm
operations that aggregate products.
That relationship becomes more
transactional, he said.
As these larger operations emerge, so
will public health concerns. Lawson did
not want to comment on Gordons bill,
which is still in the works, but he said
that establishing varying regulatory stan-
dards for large and small operations
would help small farms. Exemptions
could be made for very small farms that
demonstrate a certain level of communi-
ty involvement, he suggested.
As a farmer, Lawson has accepted the
regulations that have emerged in
response to the proliferation of farmers
markets. The annual inspection from the
agriculture commission is worth the
extra cost to assure customers of the
integrity of his food, he said.
If we want a relationship-based food
system, you can have integrity and
knowledge of what each other is doing,
he said. But where it grows beyond the
personal relationship, then there needs to
be legitimacy in that.

would like to see for the area.
Monday night, the City Council will
hear an update on the project.
City staff is currently working with a
consultant on the draft environmental
impact report and expects the public
review period to begin at the end of
April.
It is anticipated that the nal project
details will be in place by June, accord-
ing to a staff report.
The City Council will ultimately make
the nal decisions on the general devel-
opment plan, development agreement
and EIR sometime in the fall, according
to the staff report.
A preliminary schedule assumes that
the sale of the property will be nalized
in late 2013, with site development
occurring in 2014 and the rst construc-
tion to be completed between 2015 and
2017, according to the staff report.
The city has had other developers in
the past committed to building senior
housing on the site but nancing for
those projects fell through.
The city will reap $30 million by sell-
ing the site but property and sales tax
revenue generated from the project once
it is completed will add signicant rev-
enue annually to the citys general fund,
which pays for police, re and other city
services.
The project includes the construction
of 200 for-sale units, 138 assisted and
independent living units and 66 senior
affordable apartments. It will also fea-
ture a town square.
The for-sale units will be available for
those 55 and older and the other units
will be set aside for those 62 and older.
The city entered an exclusive rights to
negotiate agreement with Foster City
Community Partners Feb. 6 through
August 2013.
The Foster City Community Partners
consortium is comprised of Merrill
Gardens, SRM Development, Mid-Pen
Housing, Urban Community Partners
and Campus Property Group.
Residents can participate in an online
survey on the project at www.tnhcfoster-
city.com.

BBC in hot seat as
anti-Thatcher song
climbs British chart
By Raphael Satter
LONDON Opponents of the late Margaret Thatcher are
taking a kind of musical revenge on the former prime minister,
pushing the song Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead up the
British charts in a posthumous protest over her polarizing poli-
cies.
By Friday the online campaign had propelled the Wizard of
Oz song to No. 1 on British iTunes and into the top ve of the
music chart used by the BBC to compile its weekly radio
countdown.
David Karpf, who studies online campaigns, said the chart
battle was an example of a new kind of protest enabled by
social media A way for people to signal protest en masse
without shouting from the rooftops.
Its a form of symbolic protest, he said.
The unusual campaign has caused a headache for the BBC.
With the ditty near the top of the charts, the broadcaster faced
the prospect of airing the words The Wicked Witch is Dead!
on its Sunday countdown show, just days before Thatchers
funeral, scheduled for Wednesday.
Some lawmakers from Thatchers Conservative Party had
called for the publicly funded broadcaster to drop the song,
while others warned that such a move would mean censoring
a form of dissent.
The BBC, caught between allegations of censorship and
complaints about poor taste, split the difference, saying it
would broadcast only part of the tune along with a news
item explaining why it was there.
BBC director-general Tony Hall said that while the broad-
caster found the campaign distasteful and inappropriate, he
and other executives had decided the song should not be
banned but should not be broadcast in full, either.
We have agreed that we wont be playing the song in full,
rather treating it as a news story and playing a short extract to
put it in context, he said in a statement.
