SERIES OF CAR BOMBS KILL 55 LESS THAN A WEEK BEFORE VOTE

Non-violent theft, or larceny, is a crime on
the rise locally and police think they know
why the perpetrators, even if caught, risk
light punishment.
The latest trend sweeping San Mateo
County is the so-called door-knock burglary in
which criminals simply canvas neighborhoods
and knock on doors to see if anyone is home.
If someone is home, they move on, but if not,
they nd a way into the house through a rear
door or window and make off with jewelry,
electronic items or other valuables.
The crimes are taking place almost every

In the wake of the deadly explo-
sions near the nish line of the

threats locally, but that authorities

Rihanna cancels Houston
show because of illness
NEW YORK Rihanna has canceled
another date on her latest tour because
she is ill.
Live Nation says the Grammy-win-
ning singer is unable to perform at
Mondays concert in Houston as a
result of illness. The concert promoter
says fans should retain their tickets to
use at a rescheduled show.
Rihanna canceled shows in Baltimore
and Boston on her Diamonds World
Tour last month because she was sick.
The next date on the singers tour is
Tuesday in Dallas. Shes supporting her
seventh album, Unapologetic, which
features the hits Diamonds and
Stay.

Judge holds self in
contempt for his smartphone
IONIA, Mich. A Michigan judge
whose smartphone disrupted a hearing
in his own courtroom has held himself
in contempt and paid $25 for the infrac-
tion.
Judge Raymond Voet has a posted
policy at Ionia County 64A District
Court stating that electronic devices
causing a disturbance during court ses-
sions will result in the owner being cited
with contempt, the Sentinel-Standard of
Ionia and MLive.com reported.
On Friday afternoon, during a prose-
cutors closing argument as part of a
jury trial, Voets new smartphone began
to emit sounds requesting phone voice
commands. Voet said he thinks he
bumped the phone, and the embarrass-
ment likely left his face red.
Im guessing I bumped it. It started
talking really loud, saying I cant
understand you. Say something like
Mom, he said.
Voet has used a Blackberry mobile
phone for years, and said he wasnt as
familiar with the operation of the new
touchscreen, Windows-based phone.
Thats an excuse, but I dont take
those excuses from anyone else. I set the
bar high, because cellphones are a dis-
traction and there is very serious busi-
ness going on, he said. The courtroom
is a special place in the community, and
it needs more respect than that.
Over the years, the judge whose court
is about 110 miles northwest of Detroit
has taken phones away from police of-
cers, attorneys, witnesses, spectators
and friends. During a break in the trial,
Voet held himself in contempt, ned
himself and paid the ne.
Judges are humans, Voet said.
Theyre not above the rules. I broke the
rule and I have to live by it.
Woman cited for
calling 911 seeking divorce
GIRARD, Pa. Police have cited a
42-year-old Pennsylvania woman for
disorderly conduct after she called 911
requesting a divorce and police assis-
tance to make her husband leave.
Troopers say the woman called just
after 1 a.m. Saturday asking that ofcers
be sent to her home in Girard Township
in northwestern Pennsylvania.
Police say they explained to the
woman, whom they are not identifying,
that a divorce is a civil matter and that
they could not make her husband leave
the residence because no crime had been
committed.
Instead, police have cited the woman
for disorderly conduct and misusing the
Erie County 911 system.
Weinstein, Chapman
welcome baby boy
LOS ANGELES Harvey Weinstein
and Georgina Chapman have added a
baby boy to their family.
A spokeswoman for the 61-year-old
co-chairman of the Weinstein Co. said
Monday that Weinstein and his 37-year-
old fashion designer wife welcomed a
son Thursday in New York.
Weinstein and the Marchesa co-
founder are already parents to a 2-year-
old daughter. The Oscar-winning pro-
ducer of such lms as Silver Linings
Playbook and Django Unchained
also has three daughters from his previ-
ous marriage to Eve Chilton.
Chapman and Weinstein married in
2007.

Tres Amigos in downtown San Mateo
served its last tacos Christmas Day but the
owners were served with something a little
less tasteful Friday a civil complaint
alleging sexual harassment by two former
female employees over four years.
Although the two women quit the taqueria
almost two years ago, they were cleared to
take action against the three owners and
seven other male employees after they
received a right-to-sue letter from the
California Department of Fair Employment
and Housing, their lawyer Rafael Crespo told
the Daily Journal yesterday.
The founding partners, or three amigos, are
being sued for subjecting both Reynabe
Mercado and Luz Maria Torrez to a hostile
work environment.
The Tres Amigos owners denied the allega-
tions during the DFEH process, Crespo said.
The owners could not be reached for com-
ment.
Mercado and Torrez quit Tres Amigos on
the same day in 2011, April 27, after several
male employees allegedly harassed them.
They both came to work for the taco shop in
2007.
The two women allege they were shown
pornographic images by three male co-work-
ers of a man having sex with a horse and
pornographic cartoons of men and women,
according to the complaint.
The women allege they were touched inap-
propriately; shown and encouraged to read
the Kama Sutra to learn about sexual posi-
tions; asked to simulate sex acts with a hose;
and subjected to co-workers who pretended
to masturbate.
The women were also told, according to
the complaint, that if you dont like it, well,
there are other people who need a job.
Named in the civil complaint are owners
Adrian Valle, Salvador Valle and Pilar
Contreras. The employees named in the suit
are Gabriel Chaidez, Javier Rodriguez,
Almiku Lnu, Ricardo Chaidez, Antemio
Ramirez, Jose Fonseca and Adrian Fonseca.
The complaint, filed in San Mateo County
Superior Court, alleges that ownership
encouraged the hostile work environment
against women by its male employees.
The woman contend in the complaint that
they have suffered and continue to suffer
humiliation, emotional distress, mental and
physical pain and anguish and that the
harassment was done with intent.
They are seeking unspecified damages.
The downtown San Mateo taco shop is
closed now but the partners operate two other
restaurants in Half Moon Bay and San
Mateo.

Homeowner must maintain property as primary residence and remain current on
property taxes and insurance
By Martha Mendoza
SAN JOSE Awakening in a friends
bedroom after drinking too much at a
sleepover, 15-year-old Audrie Pott looked
down and realized she had been sexually
assaulted and her attackers had written
and drawn on intimate parts of her body,
her familys attorney said Monday.
Over the next week, she pieced togeth-
er one horrifying detail after another. She
went online and tried to confront the three
boys she had known since junior high
who she believed had done it.
At school, she saw a group of students
huddled around a cellphone and realized
that at least one humiliating photo of her
was circulating.
I have a reputation
for a night I dont
even remember and
the whole school
knows, she wrote in
one Facebook mes-
sage to a friend.
I cried when I
found out what they
did, she wrote in
another.
Eight days after the attack, she called
and asked her mother to pick her up at
school. She said she couldnt deal with it
anymore but would not say what was
wrong. And then she hanged herself.
The Pott family disclosed the new
details of the ordeal at an emotional news
conference Monday in San Jose, dis-
cussing painful details of what their
daughter was put through and demanding
that three 16-year-old boys arrested eight
months after the assault be tried as adults
a move that would be highly unlikely
under California law.
The family members also announced
plans to le a wrongful death lawsuit
against the suspects, their parents and the
family that owns the house where the
Labor Day party took place.
The boys arrested in the case are each
charged with sexual battery, dissemina-
tion of child pornography and possession
of child pornography. Under California
law, such less severe charges are led if a
victim does not have the ability to ght
off a sexual assault because they are
unconscious.

Caretaker arrested for fraud
A woman, who had been hired as
a caretaker for an elderly Belmont
couple was arrested Sunday for
nancial elder abuse, according to
police.
K a t h l e e n
Susan Fortune,
44, was arrested
by Belmont
police as a result
of an investiga-
tion that began
two days earlier
when the cou-
ple, who are in
their 90s, report-
ed their car was missing.
Fortune, who has several aliases,
was booked into the San Mateo
County Jail in Redwood City for
identity theft, theft from an elder by
a caretaker, possession of stolen
credit/debit cards and possession of
narcotics, according to police.
The couples car, a white 2002
Buick Regal four-door, is still miss-
ing.
Fortune, a Foster City resident,
had used her sisters name;
Kimberlie Marie McKean, when she
was hired by the Belmont couple.
She has also used the names of
Kathleen McKean, Kathleen Kean,
Kathleen Sanders and Kathleen
Flieger, according to police.
Belmont police believe that
Fortune may have secured employ-
ment with other elderly people
under one of her aliases or another,
as yet, unknown name.
We are releasing her photo in the
hope that if there are other victims,
they might come forward, Belmont
Police Chief Dan DeSmidt wrote in
a statement. Often, elderly victims
of this type of fraud are reluctant to
come forward or may not have real-
ized that they have been victim-
ized.
Anyone with information on
Fortune is asked to call Belmont
police at 595-7400 or the Belmont
crime tip line at 598-3000.
Suspects sought in
pair of tablet PC thefts
Belmont police are seeking sus-
pects in a pair of tablet PC thefts
from businesses that occurred with-
in minutes of each other Monday.
The rst theft was reported at
about 3 p.m. from the Radio Shack
store at 870 Ralston Ave.
While ofcers were responding to
that crime, a second similar theft
was reported from the GameStop
store at 1200 El Camino Real.
In both cases, a single male sus-
pect entered the store, asked to see a
tablet PC and, as soon as the suspect
had it in his hands, he ed with it to
a waiting vehicle, according to
police.
There are three suspects in the
case but only one that witnesses
could describe. The suspect who
took the tablets is described as a
black man, late 20s to early 30s, 6
feet 1 inch tall, 200 pounds, shaved
head, wearing a blue T-shirt with a
white design and blue jeans.
The getaway driver and another
suspect in the vehicle were also
described as black males.
The vehicle they were driving was
a tan older model, 1990s minivan,
similar to a Toyota or Dodge, with
tinted windows, black tires/rims and
yellow paper plates.
The suspect vehicle was last seen
eeing from the GameStop, south
on Fifth Avenue.
Anyone with information on these
crimes or these suspects is asked to
call Belmont police at 595-7400 or
the Belmont police crime tip line at
598-3000.

tion.

A 50-year-old man accused of
prostituting a teenage girl on an
online escort site and brandishing a
gun last year because her friends
visited the San Bruno condominium
where she was being kept received
four years in prison and registration
as a sex offender.
David Blackwell, of San
Francisco, pleaded no contest in
November to felony pandering and
assault by force and was released on
$500,000 bail with the warning that
any new crimes would void the plea
deal. On Monday, Blackwell was
sentenced to prison for the negotiat-
ed term of four
years with credit
for 222 days. He
was immediate-
ly taken into
custody.
As part of the
plea deal, other
charges of pimp-
ing a minor and
assault with a
rearm were dropped. Counts of
human trafcking and kidnapping
were dismissed for insufcient evi-
dence after a preliminary hearing
earlier this year.
According to prosecutors,
Blackwell marketed the girl on the
escort review website
MyRedBook.com. He allegedly
allowed the 17-year-old girl to come
and go but she was required to
check in and out with him and be
available on a moments notice to
service clients.
Prosecutors say, on April 1, 2012,
Blackwell flashed the weapon
because she had friends over to the
condominium, which was against
his rules.
The victim was uncooperative
with Blackwells prosecution and
only testified at the preliminary
hearing after her own attorney was
appointed.

Obituary
Trial begins for Burlingame man charged with fatally beating roommate
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A Burlingame man beat his roommate
to death with a mallet because the vic-
tims graphic and unexpected demand
for oral sex unleashed lifelong rage over
childhood molestation by his father and
his own sexual abuse of a younger
brother, according to his defense.
Lawrence Arthur Hoffman, 65, was
driven to nausea by the horror of what
hed done to Joseph Consentino, 70, on
Dec. 5, 2011 but acted in self defense to
what he perceived as a threat because of
his experience, defense attorney Geoff
Carr told jurors during opening state-
ments yesterday morning.
Prosecutor Al Serrato painted a differ-
ent portrait of the fatal encounter which
he called cold, violent and very per-
sonal between the two men who he
characterized as roommates but not
friends. Hoffman, Serrato said, told a
friend days after the homicide that he
just ipped out because Consentino
was demeaning his wife and daughter
and that he beat the f so many f
times there was no way he could have
survived.
Following the beating, Hoffman cov-
ered the partially nude body with three
blankets and fled to Reno, San
Francisco and eventually Glendale
where he was arrested after the friend
contacted authorities.
Carr told jurors there was no dispute
his client caused Consentinos death.
That will not be
the question in this
case. That will be if
its murder, Carr
said.
Hoffman is
charged with murder
and the use of a
deadly weapon,
either a mallet or
hammer although the
weapon was never
recovered. Consentino, who had no
defensive wounds, died from a massive
hole in the back of his head which
Serrato said was caused by at least nine
separate blows.
Carr suggested the jury could return a
lesser degree of homicide and that either
of the two admitted initial blows could
have killed Consentino before the several
others that Serrato said showed the mur-
der was as intentional as it was swift.
After meeting as acquaintances at the
American Bull Bar and Grill in
Burlingame, Hoffman moved into
Consentinos Garden Drive apartment in
fall 2011 as a way to make ends meet
for both men and help Consentino sell
off his late wifes accumulated knick-
knacks. Nearly immediately, the two
butted heads and Carr said Hoffman was
borrowing money from his estranged
wife to leave at the time of the beating.
Hoffman was also harboring a very,
very dark family secret that didnt
come to light until after the arrest when
his estranged younger brother, Alvin,
told defense investigators their father
had likely molested Hoffman and in turn
Hoffman had molested him, Carr said.
Hoffman never told anybody, devel-
oping psychiatric problems that led to
his seeing a psychologist and psychia-
trist more than 300 times, feeling suici-
dal and having panic attacks that mani-
fested themselves with physical pain
and gagging, Carr said.
The night Consentino died, Hoffman
emerged from the bathroom where he
had gone to calm one such attack to nd
his older roommate wearing nothing but
boxers, holding the mallet and demand-
ing oral sex, Carr said.
Hoffman allegedly reacted by grab-
bing the mallet and striking twice and,
after Consentino fell to the ground, con-
tinuing to strike in a rage of fury.
Carr said Hoffman vomited with dis-
belief, covered the man with the blan-
kets out of respect and was initially
uncertain whether to kill himself, sur-
render or ee.
He visited Greg Bailey, the friend
who would later turn him in, and
revealed I killed my roommate,
Serrato said.
In a recorded phone call later, Bailey
suggested maybe Hoffman wasnt dead
but was told otherwise.
I know what rigor mortis looks like
... I know the colors, Serrato read from
the call transcript. Parts of his head are
all over the f oor. ... Its bad.
Hoffman remains in custody without
bail.

Brigitte Patricia Diaz
Brigitte Patricia Diaz, born December 28, 1979 left us at
a young age of just 23 on April 16, 2003. Although its been
10 years in our hearts it feels like just yesterday. We miss her
just as much today, maybe even more than we did then. We
asked several of our friends whats the rst thing that comes
to mind when they think of Brigitte. It was her smile, her
energetic spirit, her love for life. Although she did not live
a full life, she lived life to the fullest. Today we remember
Brigitte, celebrate her life and are so thankful to have the
memories she continues to give to those she left behind.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A former custodian and coach at a Belmont
middle school pleaded no contest yesterday to
two counts each of falsely imprisoning and
annoying a child rather than stand trial on alle-
gations he molested two female students on
campus.
Andre Edward, 54, accepted the deal on the
two felonies and two misdemeanors with the
conditions prosecutors seek no more than nine
months in jail and he not be required to regis-
ter as a sex offender. His $50,000 bail bond
was converted to release on his own recogni-
zance pending a June 13 sentencing hearing.
The deal is off if he commits any new crimes
beforehand.
Edwards was accused of putting his hands
down the pants of a 13-year-old girl in 2001
and cupping the breast and buttock of a second
girl on Nov. 15, 2010 at
Ralston Middle School.
After the rst alleged inci-
dent, the girl contacted
police but the case was not
prosecuted for lack of cor-
roboration. School offi-
cials reportedly cautioned
Edwards not to be alone in
the janitor ofce with any
student prior to the second
allegation.
After his arrest, Edwards reportedly accused
the girls of lying and claimed his accuser in
the 2001 case acknowledged to her friend that
the accusation was false.
Edwards worked at the school from
September 1987 until February 2011, when he
retired.
Bill seeks to ban
plastic bags at state stores
SACRAMENTO Business groups are
supporting a bill that would ban California gro-
cery stores, convenience stores and pharmacies
from handing out single-use plastic bags.
Dozens of California cities have adopted
similar laws, but proposals for a statewide ban
have previously failed in the Legislature.
Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Los Angeles, said
Monday that the latest effort, SB405, has sup-
port from the California Grocers Association
and the California Retailers Association, as
well as from environmental groups.
The proposal would ban plastic bags in gro-
cery stores and pharmacies starting in 2015
and in convenience stores and liquor stores by
July 2016.
Former custodian and coach
takes deal in molestation case

WASHINGTON A bipartisan proposal
to expand background checks to more gun
buyers seemed in jeopardy Monday as a
growing number of Republican senators
expressed opposition to the proposal, perhaps
enough to derail it. But there was plenty of
time for lobbying and deal-making to affect
the outcome, which remained uncertain.
The White House said President Barack
Obama was calling lawmakers, as both sides
hunted support for a nail-biting showdown.
As of Monday evening, some senators were
saying the vote now appeared likely late this
week, rather than midweek as top Democrats
have hoped. Such a delay would give both
sides more time to nd support.
The game hasnt even started yet, let alone
over, said Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who
reached a background check compromise last
week with Sen. Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., on
which the Senate was preparing to vote.
At stake is what has become the heart of
this years gun control drive in response to
Decembers killing of children and staff at an
elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
Supporters consider a broadening of the buy-
ers subjected to background checks to be the
most effective step lawmakers can take, and
Obama urged near universal checks in the
plan he unveiled in January.
Sixteen Republicans voted last week to
reject an effort by conservatives that would
have blocked the Senate from even consider-
ing a broad bill restricting rearms. With that
debate underway, Democrats hope to win
enough supporters from this group to gain
passage of the rst amendment to that bill
the compromise between Manchin and
Toomey, which expands background checks
but less broadly than Obama has wanted.
By Monday evening, eight Republican sen-
ators from that group said they would oppose
the Manchin-Toomey plan and two were
leaning against it. Combined with the 31 sen-
ators who voted against debating the overall
gun bill last week, that would bring potential
opponents of expanding background checks
to 41 just enough votes to block the
Senate from considering the compromise.
Im not going to vote for it. Its not the
right thing to do, said Sen. Saxby
Chambliss, R-Ga., who was among the 16
who voted last week to allow the debate to
begin.
But in the heated political climate and
heavy lobbying certain in the run-up to the
vote, it was possible that minds could change.
Opponents say expanded checks would
violate the Constitutions right to bear arms
and would be ignored by criminals. They are
forcing supporters of the background check
plan to win 60 of the Senates 100 votes, a
high hurdle.
Fifty Democrats and two Democratic-lean-
ing senators voted last week to begin debate.
If all of them support the Manchin-Toomey
plan which is not guaranteed they
would still need eight additional votes.
So far, three Republicans who backed
beginning debate have said they will vote for
the Manchin-Toomey plan: Toomey and
Sens. Mark Kirk of Illinois and Susan Collins
of Maine. A fourth, John McCain of Arizona,
said he is strongly inclined to do so.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., missed last
weeks vote after saying he was suffering
from muscle weakness, but spokesman Caley
Gray said he hopes to be in the Senate for
votes this week.

STATE/NATION 8
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Our
countrys economic
roller-coaster ride
has been interesting
and historic for
sure, but also very
troubling for many
families whove not
been as financially stable as others.
Recently though Ive been observing a
phenomenon with those we serve at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. It may
be too early to confirm, but it appears that
there is a general state of confidence with
many families, along with the decisions and
choices they make during funeral
arrangements. Yes, I know you are thinking
that confidence is not a term you would
use to coincide with funeral arrangements,
but it appears to me that people I see are
tending to be more financially assured than
during the deepest years of The Great
Recession.
They say that the two things you cant
avoid are death and taxes. With that in
mind, during the economic downturn I saw a
very noticeable sense of thrift and
prudence with a lot of families who
experienced a death during that period.
Still, those who tended to cost shop at
various funeral homes selected CHAPEL
OF THE HIGHLANDS to handle funeral or
cremation arrangements. These families
found comfort with our service, and notably
with our more economic cost structure.
Now, lately the trend with families and
their funeral choices reminds me of the days
way before the recession hit. Its not that
people are utilizing their funds differently,
spending more or spending less, but that
they are more assertive and confident when
using their wallet. Seeing this over and over
gives me a good indication that something in
the economic climate is changing compared
to not that long ago.
Even though many of our honorable
elected officials in Sacramento and
Washington D.C. appear to be as inflexible
with economic issues as always, the air of
confidence with the families Ive been
dealing with means to me that these people
are feeling less pressured financially.
It is well known that when businesses do
well they hire more employees, and when
those employees are confident they will
spend their money on goods and services.
In turn, the companies that provide goods
and services will need competent employees
to create more goods, give more services,
and so onmaking a positive circle for a
healthy economy. In relation to that, after a
long period of U.S. manufacturing jobs
being sent over-seas there is news of a
growing number of companies bringing this
work back to the United States. Real Estate
values on the Peninsula remained in a good
state during the recession, but houses here
are now in demand more than ever.
Encouraging Hopeful and Positive
are words to describe the optimistic
vibrations that people are giving off. If the
community is becoming more comfortable
with spending, that indicates good health for
business and the enrichment of our
economic atmosphere. I hope Im right, so
lets all keep our fingers crossed.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

WASHINGTON The Supreme
Court seemed worried Monday
about the idea of companies patent-
ing genes that can be found inside
the human body, as it heard argu-
ments in a case that could profound-
ly reshape U.S. medical research
and the ght against diseases like
breast and ovarian cancer.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark
Ofce has been awarding patents on
human genes for almost 30 years,
but opponents of Myriad Genetics
Inc.s patents on two genes linked to
increased risk of breast and ovarian
cancer say patent protection should
not be given to something that can
be found inside the human body.
Finding a new use for a product
of nature, if you dont change the
product of nature, is not patentable.
If I nd a new way of taking gold
and making earrings out of it, that
doesnt entitle me to a patent on
gold. If I nd a new way of using
lead, it doesnt entitle me to a patent
on lead, lawyer Christopher
Hansen said.
Allowing companies like Myriad
to patent human genes or parts of
human genes will slow down or
cripple lifesaving medical research
like in the battle against breast can-
cer, he said.
But companies have billions of
dollars of investment and years of
research on the line, with Myriad
arguing that without the ability to
recoup their investment through the
profits that patents bring, break-
through scientic discoveries need-
ed to combat all kind of medical
maladies wouldnt happen.
That concerned several justices.
Why shouldnt we worry that
Myriad or companies like it will just
say, Well, you know, were not
going to do this work anymore?
Justice Elena Kagan said.
Court: Can human genes be patented?
If I nd a new way of taking gold
and making earrings out of it, that doesnt
entitle me to a patent on gold. If I nd a new way of
using lead, it doesnt entitle me to a patent on lead.

SACRAMENTO Legislation
that would provide funding for
Californias substance-abuse track-
ing system passed its first commit-
tee on Monday at the urging of
state Attorney General Kamala
Harris.
The states prescription drug
database allows doctors and phar-
macists to quickly review patients
substance history as a way to deter
drug abuse and to make sure
patients arent taking harmful com-
binations of drugs. Harris wants
money to main-
tain and upgrade
the database and
to pay for teams
of agents that
would track doc-
tors who
improperly pre-
scribe large
quantities of
controlled sub-
stances.
The lack of funding for the sys-
tem has been a concern because of
the number of patient deaths linked
to doctors overprescribing certain
medications.

OPINION 9
High-density housing
Editor,
I agree wholeheartedly with Peter
Carey who wrote a letter in the April
15 edition of the Daily Journal High-
density housing that he hoped the new
residents in the higher density San
Mateo housing that is planned would
utilize Caltrain. From what I know of
San Mateos planning they had just
this in mind when they did their exten-
sive corridor planning.
In addition to forsaking auto trips for
train trips, I also hope they walk and
bike for local trips that are close by.
Not only will it reduce trafc and con-
gestion, as Mr. Carey noted in his let-
ter, but it will also be better for the
planet improving air quality and
ghting climate change, and even for
public health as carbohydrates are
burned rather than fossil fuels emitting
carbon dioxide.

Dimitre Diatribe was bigoted
Editor,
I am loathe to reply to Dorothy
Dimitres Cathophobic kick-the-pope
column published in the April 10 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal in which she
wonders if Catholicism is conductive
(sic) to democracy. I fear I may
encourage her or draw attention to her
rants. This may be breaking news to
her, but she doesnt have to support the
church. Its a matter of choice, although
I realize the mass media has pretty well
limited choice to one subject. This is
not like government in which we are
forced to pay and obey. There is a
poem with a line that says, Ill believe
in separation of church and state when
my taxes are gathered in a collection
plate.
I am perplexed by Dimitres anger.
After all, Americans allow the Supreme
Court to decide many important issues,
even by overriding the will of the peo-
ple. At least the pope was elected by
vote of the cardinals. I dont see white
smoke billow when a Supreme Court
justice is appointed.
Her concern over pope folderol
makes sense, however. I think Pope
Francis could take a step toward bring-
ing the church into the modern world
by getting tattoos and wearing rings in
his nose.

I always enjoy the columns from

column about all the folderol about

Do we really need 24/7 news coverage
of the theatrical appointment of the
leader of an obsolete, greedy, misogy-
nistic and outrageously irresponsible
religion? As Dorothy eloquently states,
the pedophile priests must be thrilled
that God is never tired of forgiving
us. I would not even let a priest stand
close to my child.
Please Journal more Dimitre, less

Background checks
Editor,
I must agree with letter writer
Gregory McCarthy who takes excep-
tion to doctors determining who is
mentally ill with regards to gun back-
ground checks (Issues with gun con-
trol in the April 15 edition of the
Daily Journal).
Doctors are not qualied to diagnose
mental health, including mental illness,
and if doctors are not qualied than no
other profession is either. No evaluation
can ever be accurate.
I join Mr. McCarthy is calling for an
end to evaluation of a potential gun
buyers mental health by background
checks. The individual is very capable
of determining whether or not he is
mentally t enough to possess an AR
15 assault rie. We must end this ero-
sion of rights of gun owners and not
insist on requirements like the laws that
insist on registration of your pets.
Dont discount Mr. McCarthy and my
own paranoia on this matter. Youve all
noticed the epidemic of pet conscation
since those laws were enacted, if you
take guns away from the Jared
Loughners of the world, Mr.
McCarthys guns could be next.

Coming next
Editor,
This year will go down in history,
for the rst time in history a civilized
nation has full gun registration, our
streets will be safer, our police more
efcient and the world will follow our
lead into the future, Adolf Hitler,
1935.
His Brown Shirts then rounded up
all the guns and the largest massacre in
history begins. I know, some will say,
but that was a warring nation. It did-
nt start that way, Hitler was elected by
93 percent of the Germans and
Austrians. Freedom lovers, do your

over to the County Emergency Medical
Services Department which maintains a

America is not ready
Editor,
According to Gen Mike Hostage, who
is commander, Air Combat Command,
Joint Base Langley-Eustis: The current
situation means were accepting the risk
that combat air power may not be ready
to respond immediately to new contin-
gencies as they occur.
Our military leaders have informed us
that they are not ready to protect
America. So, what is the president
doing about this? President Obama has
sworn an oath to protect America, but
he is complacent. Some believe that
leadership starts from the ground up in
our country. In this case, theyre wrong.
We have but one commander in chief to
preserve, protect and defend America.
Yet, President Obama and his party,
including U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, can
rationalize the deterioration of our
national defenses by blaming others.
While the president is more concerned
with the next election, we are at greater
risk. How can he sleep at night?

North of reality
M
e thinks the North Korean dictator doth
protest too much. Leader Kim Jong Un has
been stomping his feet, telling South Korean
tourists to stop buying Gucci and Louis Vuitton knock-
off purses and get thee back to their own country
because gosh darn it hes
going to go ahead and
fire off a nuke. Dang.
Filled with worry
Maybe the youngster
just wants to impress his
elder world leaders or
needs an excuse for
another Bill Clinton
intervention. Or, hes
hoping for a real life
remake of The Day
After. Perhaps hes try-
ing to impress new bestie
Dennis Rodman who
claims ol Kim just
wants to be loved
because everybody knows
the best path to love is fear.
And anybody with more than a spoonful of common
sense or who holds an occupation with the fun byproduct
of anonymous mail and cryptic phone threats knows that
the worlds real scares rarely come from those who both-
er with an announcement. Individuals who whisper I
know where you live or Im going to kill you arent
typically the ones who follow through with any actual
deeds. If someone wants somebody else taken care of or
some fill-in-the-blank action taken, the truly motivated
just do it without first whispering from the shadows or
shouting from the rooftops. Theres no warning, no cries
for help.
This is why the claims from Pyongyang of an immi-
nent attack are met by the average Jane and Joe with a
shrug and Which Korea is the evil one?
Even as the country ups the ante by now saying it
wont give any notice before pulling the trigger this
answers the question of what to get a 101-year-old coun-
trys founder for his (albeit ceremonial) birthday the
population majority still isnt losing too much sleep.
There are far too many other pressing causes for concern
in the world or, more realistically, in ones own back-
yard. How can anyone on the Peninsula worry about
international peace when there might someday be drones
at home? Or, at the very least, drones on somebodys
government wish list? Convene a meeting! Write some
letters! Post on Facebook about the loss of privacy!
And yoga pants theres no time for North Korea
when yoga pants are poised to cause the fall of Western
Civilization. The situation with yoga pants has gotten so
dire manufacturers are recalling overly sheer apparel and
school districts are banning the gear for girls because
they are too distracting for boys. When so little is left to
the imagination, who needs drones?
Of course, homeowners could use personal drones to
help identify who might be knocking on their door. In
the wake of numerous midday shenanigans and so-called
door-knock burglars, some local law enforcement agen-
cies are warning people not to answer but instead loudly
ensure the visitor knows somebody is home. In other
words, greet every knock and doorbell by standing in the
hallway and telling then to go away, and if they dont,
yell Im calling the police! Of course, in all the spare
time created by the eventual lack of legitimate visitors
scared off by the paranoia, one can contemplate North
Korea.
Or bird flu. Rumor has it thats making a comeback.
Let the fretting begin.
Entertainers Beyonce and Jay-Z went to Cuba amid
much brouhaha. President Obama dared call Kamala
Harris attractive. His wife referred to herself as a single
mother. More people undoubtedly worried about these
pressing social issues.
Saggy pants. Hoodies. Transgendered bathrooms. What
fashion hue is this seasons new black? These are real
problems, North Korea!
So until Kim Jong Un and his ilk have something real-
ly worth the gray hair and forehead wrinkles, hopefully
they will excuse the lack of attention. Of course, we may
be creating a self-fulfilling prophecy; if he becomes
frustrated, theres no telling when he might go nuclear.
Or maybe he will fall quiet. Silence, after all, can be
deadly.

Big movers
By Matthew Craft
NEW YORK Worries about an eco-
nomic slowdown in China fueled a steep
drop in commodity prices Monday,
spooking investors and giving the stock
market its worst day of the year.
The trigger for the sell-off came from
China, where the worlds second-largest
economy expanded 7.7 percent in the
rst three months of the year, well below
forecasts of 8 percent or better. That
news pummeled copper, oil and other
commodities. Shares of oil and mining
companies fared the worst because
China is a huge importer of their prod-
ucts.
The decline came after a pile of nega-
tive economic reports. In addition to the
concerns about China, a separate report
showed weak manufacturing in the
Northeast, and a home builders survey
indicated housing activity isnt going to
be strong, either, said Steven Ricchiuto,
chief economist for Mizuho Securities.
People are realizing that the global
economy isnt as strong as they expected
it to be, he said.
The market began tumbling hours
before reports emerged of two bombs
exploding in the packed streets near the
nish line of the Boston Marathon. The
attack that killed two people and injured
more than 100 was just one more thing
to worry investors.
The pullback disrupted, at least for the
moment, the phenomenal rally that has
sent the Dow Jones industrial average up
13 percent and the Standard & Poors
500 index up 11 percent in 2013. Both
indexes marked record highs only last
Wednesday. But the markets exception-
al performance has fueled widespread
speculation about an inevitable retreat.
Concerns that Cyprus and other trou-
bled European countries may sell gold to
raise cash have also weighed on prices
for precious metals, said Dan
Greenhaus, chief global strategist at the
brokerage BTIG.
The Dow tumbled 265.86 points to
close at 14,599.20, a decline of 1.8 per-
cent. Caterpillar, a maker of heavy
equipment used by miners, led the index
lower, falling 3 percent to $82.27. The
S&P 500 index slumped 36.48 points to
1,552.37, a loss of 2.3 percent.
The S&P was led by Freeport-
McMoRan Copper & Gold, which fell 8
percent to $29.27. Analysts at Citigroup
placed a sell rating on the mining giant
on the expectation that copper prices
will continue sliding.
The Nasdaq composite fell 78.46
points, or 2.4 percent, to 3,216.49.
It was the biggest drop for the stock
market since Nov. 7 Election Day
last year.
Of the 10 industry groups in the S&P
500, materials and energy stocks fared
the worst, losing 4 percent. Indexes of
small companies and transportation
stocks, which are more vulnerable to
swings in the economy, also fell 4 per-
cent.
Crude oil prices hit their lowest level
since mid-December, sliding $2.58 to
nish at $88.71 in New York trading.
And gold fell $140, plunging below
$1,400 an ounce for the rst time in two
years as a sell-off in metals continued
from last week. Gold has now slumped
$203 an ounce over the past two days.
Frank Fantozzi, CEO of Planned
Financial Services, a wealth manage-
ment rm, says people had bought gold
since the nancial crisis on the belief
that it was safe place to keep money. But
now that the metal has slid 20 percent
this year, theyre jumping out.
I think youre getting some panic
selling right now in the gold market,
Fantozzi said. People who have been
holding on to gold expecting a rebound
are now thinking, I better get out.
Cetin Ciner, a nance professor and
expert in precious metal markets at the
University of North Carolina,
Wilmington, said gold had also offered a
protection against rampant inflation
when the economy recovered. That
helped push gold prices as high at
$1,900 in 2011, but the high ination
they worried about still hasnt hit.
Dow has worst day of the year
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK The shine has come off the
gold market.
The price of gold logged its biggest one-day
decline in more than 30 years Monday, tum-
bling $140.30, or 9 percent, to $1,361. While
gold has been gradually falling since hitting a
peak of $1,900 in August 2011, the sell-off
accelerated late last week.
Before the drop, gold had climbed every
year since 2001, as investors bought the metal
both as protection against ination and as a so-
called safe haven. The precious metal peaked
as lawmakers wrangled over raising the debt
ceiling in the summer of 2011 and threatened
to push the U.S. into default.
But a slowdown in ination, combined with
speculation the Federal Reserve is considering
winding down its stimulus program, prompted
investors to sell Friday. Reports that Cyprus
may sell some of its gold reserves to pay off its
debts, following its bailout, also rattled the
market. The selling then intensied Monday
as speculators dumped their holdings.
Heres why gold is falling and what the
decline says about the economy:
INFLATION REMAINS LOW
Investors bought gold because they were
afraid that ination would rise too fast as a
result of the Feds effort to stimulate growth
by driving down interest rates through pur-
chases of government bonds. The higher cost
of goods would erode the purchasing power of
dollars. So far, though, ination has remained
under control, even as the economy has
improved. In fact, the value of the dollar has
risen recently relative to other major
economies. That makes gold a less attractive
investment.
FEAR FACTOR EASES
Investors also buy gold as a safe haven, a
kind of insurance when they are worried
about the possibility of some kind of a finan-
cial collapse. While there has been a lot to
worry about over the last six years the
financial crisis, the threat of a U.S. default,
meltdown in Europe none of those events
have led to financial Armageddon.
That fear factor has dissipated after central
bankers around the world have bailed out
one economy after the other.
Gold is an insurance asset for when
things go very wrong, says Nicholas
Brooks, head of research and investment
strategy at etf securities. Its just that people
dont feel the need for insurance right now.
STOCKS ARE RISING
Even with Mondays stock market drop,
stocks have surged this year. Investors are
optimism that the U.S. economy is poised to
decisively pull out of its slump following the
Great Recession. Thats pushed the Dow
Jones industrial average and the Standard &
Poors 500 index to record levels.
The Dow is up 11 percent this year. Before
the big sell-off, gold was down almost seven
percent.
In this world of hot money, what have
you done for me lately, people have lost
patience. Especially when the Dow started
making new highs, they started thinking,
Why am I in gold? Im missing all the
action, says Peter Schiff, CEO of Euro
Pacific Capital.
The shine comes off the gold market
By Tom Krisher
DETROIT General Motors and
Ford are putting aside their longstanding
rivalry to work together to develop a new
generation of fuel-efficient automatic
transmissions.
The companies said Monday that their
engineers will jointly design nine- and
10-speed transmissions that will go into
many of their new cars and trucks.
When transmissions have more gears,
engines dont have to work as hard. That
saves fuel. As long as the shifting is
smooth, most customers dont give
much thought to their transmissions.
The erce rivals, which rank rst and
second in U.S. auto sales, say theyll
save millions of dollars that can be spent
on areas that set them apart from other
automakers such as quieter rides and
nicer interiors.
Neither would estimate exactly how
much theyll save, but each said trans-
missions cost hundreds of millions of
dollars to develop. The more gears a
transmission has, the more complex and
costly it is to develop and build.
While we still can be really competi-
tive, we can collaborate where it makes
sense, said General Motors Co.
spokesman Dan Flores. We will still
ght every day in the marketplace over
every sale.
The savings also will help the compa-
nies keep their prices competitive.
Neither would say when the new trans-
missions will show up in cars and trucks,
although design work already has begun.
A previous venture to jointly design six-
speed transmissions took about three
years.
The companies will manufacture
transmissions separately. Theyll likely
order parts from the same companies,
saving millions more dollars, said David
Petrovski, an analyst for IHS
Automotive who specializes in transmis-
sion forecasting.
GM, Ford to collaborate on new transmissions

NEW YORK As J.C. Penney Co.
burns through its cash after a disastrous
turnaround plan and taps almost half of
its credit line, the ailing department
store chain doesnt only have to calm its
investors. It has to restore condence
among its several hundred suppliers
whose constant flow of merchandise
must continue if the retailer is to survive.
Penney announced Monday that it
would draw $850 million from its $1.85
billion revolving credit line to pay for
replenishing inventory, particularly for
its overhauled home area. Some analysts
say the move shows that the Plano,
Texas-based company is burning
through cash faster than expected.
Penney is also looking for alternative
sources of funding.
It comes at a critical time. Penney is
wrapping up back-to-school orders and
is starting to order goods for the critical
holiday shopping season. Normally,
retailers order goods well in advance but
dont pay for them until about 30 to 60
days until after goods are shipped. If
vendors start demanding to be paid in
advance, stores face a cash crunch when
they order goods for busy shopping peri-
ods.

Baseball highlights this weeks Honor Roll
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Were just about halfway through
the league seasons in high school
baseball, and that means many of
the countys best hitters are really
locking into their strokes at the
plate.
Brett Moriarty of Menlo-Atherton
went 3-for-4 with four runs RBIs
during the his teams 9-1 win over
Terra Nova. Batting in the ve hole,
he drove in one during M-As ve-
run rst inning, later stealing home
on the back end of a double steal.
He drilled a two-run double to right-
center eld in the fth and added
another RBI in the sixth.
Sean McHugh of Mills drove in
three runs and had three hits in the
Vikings 7-5 win over El Camino.
He hit a solo home run one pitch
after Mike McWhirter clubbed a
three-run shot in the top of the rst.
McHugh legged out an ineld hit to
drive in his second run in the fourth
inning and singled to center to drive
in the Vikings nal run of the game
in the sixth inning.
Dominic Giuliani of El Camino
baseball went 2-for-4 with three
RBIs in the Colts 7-5 loss to Mills.
It was a solid two-win week for
T
he Peninsula Athletic
Leagues Bay Division
baseball standings just got
a lot tighter following Burlingames
17-4 beating of Carlmont last
Friday, handing the Scots their rst
division loss of the season and
earning a series split with the divi-
sion leaders.
Burlingame now nds itself,
along with Terra
Nova, a game
behind the Scots
with 4-2
records. The
Tigers could
have pulled into
a tie for rst, but
lost 9-1 to
Menlo-Atherton
Friday as well.
Hillsdale was
probably the
biggest beneci-
ary of
Carlmonts loss as it takes some of
the sting out of losing three of their
last four league games. At 3-3, the
Knights are still within striking dis-
tance of the teams above them.
Hillsdale had a huge test the next
two weeks, however, with Carlmont
this week and Terra Nova looming
the following week.
Capuchino, Menlo-Atherton,
Aragon and Half Moon Bay all
sport 2-4 league marks, but only
three games out of rst, they are a
two- or three-game winning streak
from being right back in the mix.
In the West Catholic Athletic
League, Serra is primed to make a
run at a league crown. The Padres
and St. Francis are tied atop the
standings with 6-1 records and hold
a two-game lead over Valley
Christian and Bellarmine as the
second round of league play begins
today.
Right now, Serra would hold the
tiebreaker over the Lancers by
virtue of the Padres come-from-
behind 10-9 win over St. Francis
March 22.
They have a rematch next
Thursday, but the Padres cant look
too far ahead. They have three
tough games before that St.
Ignatius today, Valley Christian
Saturday and Mitty next Tuesday.

BOSTON Two bombs explod-
ed at the Boston Marathon nish
line Monday two hours after Lelisa
Desisa and Rita Jeptoo crossed it to
win the race. Two people were killed
and dozens injured, and authorities
said they were investigating another
blast at the John F. Kennedy Library
ve miles away.
Race volunteers and public of-
cials rushed to the aid of wounded
spectators, and the medical tent set
up to care for fatigued runners was
quickly converted to a trauma clinic.
Runners and spectators were crying
as they fled the billowing gray
smoke rising from a running gear
store overlooking the end of the
course.
The explosion sent some runners
tumbling to the pavement and oth-
ers, already unsteady from the 26.2-
mile run, were knocked down by
those rushing toward the scene. A
Rhode Island state trooper who ran
in the race the blasts tore limbs off
dozens of people.
The blasts shattered the euphoria
of what had been an uneventful
117th edition of the worlds oldest
and most prestigious annual
marathon. Runners still on the
course were diverted to the Boston
Common; race ofcials said 4,496
runners had crossed the checkpoint
at more than 24 miles but did not
make it to the nish line.
A year after record high tempera-
tures sent unprecedented numbers of
participants to the medical tent, tem-
peratures in the high 40s greeted the
eld of 23,326 at the Hopkinton
starting line. It climbed to 54
degrees by the time the winners
reached Bostons Copley Square.

Earthquakes Kaval appalled by players slur
STAFF AND WIRE REPORT
Following a 1-0 loss to the
Portland Timbers Sunday night, the
San Jose Earthquakes are the mid-
dle of some damage control that
involves something more serious
than soccer.
In Sundays defeat, Quakes for-
ward Alan Gordon was ejected
after receiving his second yellow
card of the match following a foul
on a Portland player.
But minutes earlier, Gordon was
seen on the television broadcast
using a slur toward Johnson.
After the match, Gordon released
a statement through the team.
I would like to sincerely apolo-
gize to everyone who watched
tonights match on NBC Sports
Network. The language I used
came during a heated moment and
does not reflect my feelings toward
the gay and lesbian community. I
made a mistake and I accept full
responsibility for my actions, the
statement read.
Will Johnson, the Portland player
who Gordon directed the slur to,
was diplomatic after the game.
I think its probably better that I
dont comment on that, he said.
Its a very sensitive matter. Id
prefer the league go through with

As romp the Astros
OAKLAND Jed Lowrie drove
in four runs, Tommy Milone won
his third straight start and the
Oakland Athletics beat the Houston
Astros 11-2 on Monday night.
Nate Freiman added a three-run
homer and Brandon Moss had three
RBIs for the As. Oakland also ben-
eted from eight walks - four in the
rst inning by Houston starter Erik
Bedard.
Carlos Pena had two hits for the
Astros, who have lost three straight
following a three-game winning
streak.
Milone (3-0) had a season-high
six strikeouts and didnt walk a bat-
ter for the eighth time in his career.
The left-hander, who won an
Oakland rookie record 13 games in
2012, pitched out of jams in the
fourth and sixth before leaving fol-
lowing Jose Altuves one-out RBI
single in the seventh.
The As, who swept the Astros in
Houston earlier this season, needed
it after Brett Anderson and Jarrod
Parker were roughed up by the
Detroit Tigers last weekend.
Sharks shut out Coyotes
GLENDALE Antti Niemi
stopped 35 shots for his fourth
shutout of the season, Logan
Couture scored two goals, and the
San Jose Sharks earned a key road
victory by racing past the Phoenix
Coyotes 4-0 on Monday night.
Needing a win after a rough
week, the Sharks overwhelmed
Phoenix in the second period to
move within a point of Los Angeles
for fourth place in the Western
Conference.
San Jose outshot Phoenix 24-7 in
the period, going up 3-0 on goals by
Tommy Wingels, Couture and Joe
Pavelski. Niemi made some tough
saves early and was steady after the
Sharks took the lead to earn his
23rd career NHL shutout.
Jason LaBarbera stopped 37 shots
for Phoenix, which remained 11th
in the West and four points out of
the nal playoff spot with six games
left.
These two Pacic Division rivals
came in needing not just one win,
but several as the season winds
down in its nal two weeks.
The Sharks put themselves in
good position for a playoff spot
with a seven-game winning streak,
but followed by losing three of four,
putting them just two points ahead
of the Wests nal spot.
The Coyotes earned a point in
eight of their previous nine games
(5-1-3), but were still 11th. Phoenix
lost a big chance to gain ground in
its previous game, losing in over-
time to struggling Calgary.
The Coyotes had good pressure
against San Jose in the rst period,
creating numerous quality scoring
chances.
Mikkel Boedker missed on one
when his shot from the crease hit
the crossbar, and another drive by
David Moss was turned away by
Niemi, who nearly did the splits to
make a pad save.
LaBarbera, starting after Mike
Smith sustained a lower body injury
and couldnt go, made a similar leg-
splitting move in the closing sec-
onds of the first period to stop
Couture on a semi-breakaway.
Warriors pick up a big win
OAKLAND Stephen Curry
made seven 3-pointers to nish with
35 points, leading the Golden State
Warriors past the severely short-
handed San Antonio Spurs 116-106
on Monday night.
Curry hit 7 of 13 shots from
beyond the arc to move within one
of Ray Allens single-season record
of 269 3-pointers set in 2005-06
with Seattle. Curry added eight
rebounds and ve assists to help the
Warriors pull away late and move a
game ahead of Houston for the
Western Conferences sixth seed.
Gary Neal had 25 points and ve
assists and Patty Mills scored 23
points for the Spurs, who rested
their key starters a night after losing
91-86 loss at the Los Angeles
Lakers. San Antonio still had the
Warriors on the brink until Curry
took control.
After the Spurs tied the game at
84 early in the fourth quarter, Curry
connected on three 3-pointers dur-
ing a run that gave Golden State a
107-87 lead with less than 5 minutes
remaining. The 32nd straight sellout
crowd announced at 19,596 chanted
Curry! Curry! Curry!
Warriors coach Mark Jackson
took his starting point guard out
with 3:51 remaining. Fans gave
Curry a standing ovation, and they
belted out another roar moments
later when the video board showed
the Rockets lost 119-112 at
Phoenix.
Klay Thompson scored 23 points
and David Lee added 12 points and
11 rebounds for the Warriors, who
nish the regular season at Portland
on Wednesday. Houston, which
would hold the tiebreaker over the
Warriors after winning the season
series 3-1, will visit the Lakers it its
nale Wednesday.
49ers, Raiders, close out
deals before 1st workout
SANTA CLARA San
Francisco 49ers cornerback
Tramaine Brock has signed his one-
year tender.
The team announced Monday that
Brock had signed the contract he
had been previously offered.
Brock had 16 tackles and a forced
fumble last season for the NFC
champions, who lost 34-31 to the
Baltimore Ravens in the Super
Bowl. He also shared the team lead
with 15 tackles on special teams.
Brock joined the 49ers as an
undrafted rookie free agent in 2010.
In 2011, he made two interceptions
in 11 games.
Three Raiders sign
Defensive back Brandian Ross,
offensive lineman Alex Parsons and
running back Jeremy Stewart all
have signed their exclusive rights
tenders with the Oakland Raiders.
The team announced the signings
on Monday, the rst day of ofcial
offseason workouts for the Raiders.
Ross started one game last season
and played both cornerback and
safety in 14 games.
Parsons played sparingly last sea-
son after starting in place of injured
center Stefen Wisniewski last sea-
son.
Stewart had 25 carries for 101
yards in four games last season.
BOSTON Everybody in uni-
form at the Tampa Bay Rays game
Monday against the Red Sox at
Fenway Park wore the number 42
as Major League Baseball celebrat-
ed its fth annual Jackie Robinson
Day.
Fans will see more of that number
on jerseys before the next couple of
days are out. All the teams in action
there were eight night games on
the schedule, in addition to the
Rays-Red Sox day game were
asked to wear Robinsons number
on the 66th anniversary of his break-
ing the color barrier with the
Brooklyn Dodgers. Teams that did-
nt play on Monday planned to pay
tribute Tuesday.
The anniversary is drawing spe-
cial attention this year with the
release of the film 42 about
Robinson, which went into wide
release over the weekend.
We had a screening down in
spring training, Rays manager Joe
Maddon said. It was open to all of
our personnel.
More than 100 players and other
club employees watched the lm at
a theater in Port Charlotte, Fla., the
Rays spring training site, and I
think a lot of guys walked away with
a greater appreciation of
Robinsons contribution, Maddon
said.
Maddon said Robinsons debut on
April 15, 1947, helped lead to the
broader civil rights movement.
I still dont think people under-
stand how much it plays into the
Martin Luther King situation, he
said. The revolution that occurred
at that particular moment, it mat-
tered. That had to happen rst to set
that whole thing up.

It isnt often you see a lead-off hitters men-
tality embedded in the heart of a baseball
teams order.
But thats what you have in Mills High
School and Sereno Esponilla. After two years
servicing the Vikings in the No. 1 spot in the
lineup, 2013 marked the high school debut of
Esponilla in the 3-hole and perhaps no one,
not even head coach Tony Adornetto, could
have expected these results.
I knew he was going to hit well,
Adornetto said. I didnt expect .440.
Actually, its .443 to be exact. And not just
any kind of .443 its an average that
includes an on-base percentage in the .580
realm and most importantly, a 6-0 mark in
Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division
play.
Hes a three-year starter, so he knows
everything as much as he can, Adonetto
said. He knows how we like to do things, so
its good to have him as a leader on the eld.
Esponillas leadership at the plate and in the
shortstop position was on display last week in
the Oceans rst major showdown of the sea-
son. With the Vikings and El Camino Colts at
4-0, No. 3 was the motor that made Mills go.
Esponilla went 3-for-4 in the series and was
on base six times wracking havor on El
Camino to help the Vikings in a huge two-
game sweep.
For his efforts, Esponilla is the Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.
It gave us condence that we can play
against anybody, Adornetto said of those two
wins. We had a rough non-league schedule.
We played some good games, but the record
didnt show in terms of the wins and losses.
But it was good experience getting us ready
for the league schedule.
In a lot of ways, the non-league portion of
the schedule was rougher because of
Esponillas absense. But once the shortstop
returned, it shored up MIlls offense and
defense. Playing at the 6, Esponilla has just
one error all season long. And at the dish, his
experience in the lead off role gives him the
foresight to understand baseball situations and
help his team out.
If were in a situation where we need a guy
on, he isnt afraid to take pitches, Adornetto
said. He can work counts and hit the ball all
over the eld. Its only helped him the last
couple of years coming into this year.

the Padres of Serra High School.
Serra beat the Fighting Irish of Sacred Heart
Cathedral 9-0 in Fridays West Catholic
Athletic League matchup. The Padres were led
by senior center elder Jordan Paroubeck who
had four hits, including a home run, two dou-
bles, four RBIs, two runs scored and a stolen
base.
Earlier in the week, a player whos been in a
groove since the beginning of the season con-
tinued his winning ways. Orlando Razo led the
Padres to a 7-0 win over Archbishop Riordan.
Razo pitched a shutout, allowing just two hits
while striking out four.
Mickey McDonald racked up three RBIs on
three hits, singling in the third and fth innings
along with doubling in the sixth.
Sequoia swept South San Francisco last
week in a pair of blowouts. Spencer Smith and
Zane Gelphman combined for a couple of
complete games on the bump for the
Cherokees. Marcus Avelar, Chris Ortiz, Liam
Clifford and Gelphman had big weeks at the
dish. The quartet combined for 10 RBIs.
Other standout baseball performances
include: Sacred Heart Preps Cole March, who
hit two home runs in the same inning
including a grand slam in a win against
Pinewood. ... Aldo Severson pitched his way to
a victory and hit a home run in a loss to Half
Moon Bay. ... Is anyone swinging a hotter stick
than recently called up from Carlmonts
frosh/soph outfielder Aaron Albaum? The
sophomore had another big hit in the Scots
Wednesday win over Burlingame. ... The
Panthers returned the favor though. In a 17-run
barrage, Jian Lee and Vince Arobio drove in
three runs. ... Menlo got off to a 2-0 start in
WBAL play. ... Adam Greenstein led the way
with the Knights rst home run of the year, a
solo shot in the third that started a 14-run
inning. Other key hits in the inning were a
two-run double by Graham Stratford and a
three-run triple by Brock Cozad. ... Days later,
Menlos Mikey Diekroeger who went 3-for-3
with two RBIs and a stolen base in a win
against The Kings Academy.
On the softball eld, Sophia Cerreta of
Aragon came through with the go-ahead RBI
as the Dons rallied from a 7-1 decit to beat
Sequoia 8-7. Cerreta, who was on the hook for
the loss, drove home Courtney Ching with a
single to right during the Dons seven-run
sixth.
Rebecca Faulkner of Carlmont played the
two-way hero in a win over Burlingame. She
pitched a complete game and then hit the
game-winning, three-run home run, to keep
the Scots undefeated in league play.
Burlingame bounced back in emphatic fash-
ion. Nicki Lunghi led the way, driving in ve
of the Panthers 11 runs in a blowout of Terra
Nova.
In boys lacrosse, Nick Schlein of Menlo-
Atherton, scored four goals in the Bears 10-8
over rival Sacred Heart Prep. The win keeps
M-A unbeaten in Santa Clara Valley Athletic
League De Anza Division play, and 3-0
against the Gators and Menlo School.
The Sacred Heart Prep girls lacrosse team
remained undefeated after a 17-8 league win
against Castilleja. Brigid White led SHP with
eight goals. Caroline Cummings added four. ...
White and Cummings scored six goals apiece
in another win over Burlingame.
The Serra varsity swim team defeated the
Archbishop Mitty Monarchs by the score of
115-67 last week. Double winners were Joe
Kmak 200 individual medley and 100
breaststroke and Zack Zamecki 200 and

Its standard procedure for Major League Soccer to review

Gordon was escorted from the locker room after the game
by team personnel and did not speak with reporters after
match.
The loss dropped the Earthquakes to 2-3-2.
On Monday, San Jose President David Kaval issued a state-
ment.
We are working hand in hand with the league right now on
this very serious matter, the statement read. Alans com-
ments do not reect the views or beliefs of our organization.
We have always promoted an atmosphere of acceptance and
equality in our stadium and amongst our diverse and passion-
ate fans.
I am appalled by the use of the hurtful language on the
pitch last night. We will use the collective energy and
resources of our club to foster an inclusive environment for all
of our fans. I hope to use this deplorable incident as a tool to
help eradicate offensive language of this kind.
For our fans, I know the organization has let you down. I
will do my best to take the necessary actions to make sure we
once again can be viewed as a beacon of diversity, communi-
ty, and equality.
Portland is 2-0-4 against the Earthquakes. Sundays game

SLUR
How good is the Carlmont softball
team? A freshman, Jacy Phipps, cur-
rently leads the Scots in RBIs with 18.
The Scots have four players on pace to
drive in 20 runs or more and have a
chance to have eight, and as many as
10, players nish with 10 RBIs or
more.
Carlmont is threatening to go unde-
feated in Peninsula Athletic League
Bay Division play and has only two
losses on the year, to Soquel and San
Benito a pair of Central Coast
Section powers. The Scots have since
avenged their loss to San Benito with a
convincing 9-1 win April 6. The
Haybalers have won the last seven
Division crowns in a row, beating
Carlmont twice in the nals, including
last year.
The Scots will be, once again, a
favorite to win a section title some-
thing that has evaded the seven-time
champs since 2004.
Even more scary? The Scots have a
chance to be even better next year.
They will return their starting pitcher,
shortstop, rst baseman and outeld.
***
Despite being upset by Carlmont
April 4, it looks like the Menlo-
Atherton boys tennis team will capture
its fourth-straight PAL Bay Division
title.
The Bears lost a pair of starters to
grades going into the match against the
Scots, but have won their last two
matches, including a big 5-2 win over
Burlingame last week. With matches
against the bottom two teams in the
division Woodside and El Camino,
which are a combined 2-20 in Bay
Division it would take a monumen-
tal stumble to be denied the leagues
automatic spot into the CCS tourna-
ment.
Carlmont, on the other hand, is surg-
ing right now. The Scots still have a
shot at second place as they face
Aragon today. A win by the Dons
would lock up second place in the
standings as well as the top seed in the
PAL tournament which is used to
determine the leagues second automat-
ic CCS berth. The top seed in the
league playoffs will take on Ocean
Division champion Hillsdale.

Desisa, of Ethiopia, won a three-way sprint
down Boylston Street to nish in 2 hours, 10
minutes, 22 seconds and snap a string of three
consecutive Kenyan victories.
Here we have a relative newcomer, said
Ethiopias Gebregziabher Gebremariam, who
nished third
In just his second race at 26.2 miles, Desisa
nished 5 seconds ahead of Kenyas Micah
Kogo to earn $150,000 and the traditional
olive wreath. American Jason Hartmann n-
ished fourth for the second year in a row.
The Ethiopians run very good tactical
races, defending champion Wesley Korir, a
Kenyan citizen and U.S. resident, said after
nishing fth. One thing I always say is,
Whenever you see more than ve Ethiopians
in a race, you ought to be very careful. As
Kenyans, we ought to go back to the drawing
board and see if we can get our teamwork
back.
Jeptoo, 32, averted the Keynan shutout by
winning the womens race for the second
time. Jeptoo, who also won in 2006, nished
in 2:26:25 for her rst victory in a major race
since taking two years off after having a baby.
After a series of close finishes in the
womens race ve consecutive years with
3 seconds or less separating the top two
Jeptoo had a relatively comfortable 33-sec-
ond margin over Meseret Hailu of Ethiopia.
Defending champion Sharon Cherop of
Kenya was another 3 seconds back.
Shalane Flanagan, of nearby Marblehead,
was fourth in the womens division in her
attempt to earn the rst American victory in
Boston since 1985. (Two-time winner Joan
Benoit Samuelson, running on the 30th
anniversary of her 1983 victory, nished in
2:50:29 to set a world record for her age
group.)
The hardest part about Boston is the
Bostonians want it just as bad as we do,
which really tugs at our heart, said Flanagan,
a three-time Olympian. We all want it too.
We want to be the next Joanie.
Kara Goucher, of Portland, Ore., was sixth
for her third top 10 nish in Boston as many
tries. The last American woman to win here
was Lisa Larsen-Weidenbach in 85; Greg
Meyer was the last U.S. man to win, in 1983.
Theres just more pure numbers of African
runners, said Goucher, who noted that the
eld of ve American women with personal
bests under 2:30 was the strongest in years.
Thats a good team of American women,
she said. One day the opportunity is going to
be there.
This year it was the mens race with the
sprint to the nish.
Desisa, 23, was among a group of nine men
all from Kenya or Ethiopia who broke
away from the pack in the rst half of the
race. There were three remaining when they
came out of Kenmore Square with a mile to
go.
But Desisa quickly pulled away and
widened his distance in the sprint to the tape.
Its Desisas second victory in as many
marathons, having won in Dubai in January
in 2:04:45.

SACRAMENTO Former pro-
fessional athletes who have battled
countless injuries since they left the
game on Monday criticized a bill in
the state Legislature that would
restrict players from collecting
workers compensation benets in
California.
Two dozen former players,
including San Francisco 49ers
defensive player Dana Stubbleeld
and Reggie Williams of the
Cincinnati Bengals, appeared at the
state Capitol to speak against
AB1309, which they said was an
effort by team owners to avoid pay-
ing them for legitimate injuries.
(Players) paid into the system
and now they want to take the sys-
tem away from us, said Ickey
Woods, who grew up in Fresno and
was a running back for the Bengals.
California is one of nine states
that allow professional athletes from
out-of-state teams to seek workers
compensation awards, which are
paid by their employers. A bill by
Assemblyman Henry Perea, D-
Fresno, would allow only players
from California teams to claim
workers compensation and would
shorten the ling period for claims.
Proponents of AB1309 say out-
of-state players abuse Californias
broad workers compensation rules
by ling claims here even when they
have received awards elsewhere.
Allowing non-residents to use the
system increases costs for state tax-
payers, they say.
Professional athletes have every
right to le for workers comp bene-
ts but they should do so in their
home state or in the state where they
were principally employed, Perea
said in a news release promoting the
bill.
The California Labor Federation
and Consumer Attorneys of
California are backing the players
and opposing the legislation.
They argue that some injuries ath-
letes suffer while playing may not
be apparent for years, particularly
ailments resulting from repeated
stress or injury.
California law has broad limits on
filing workers compensation
claims, based on when a player
knew of the injury and whether they
were properly notied of their com-
pensation rights when they retired.
Under Pereas bill, workers com-
pensation claims would have to be
led within a year of an athletes
nal game or of a physician diag-
nosing the condition, whichever is
later.
Opponents said narrowing
Californias rules is unfair to players
who paid income taxes for games
played within the state and should
be allowed access to Californias
compensation system.
What we want is a fair look at
where the injury took place and
Pro athletes fight limits on Calif. workers comp

its assumed rate of return over the past one-,
five- and 10-year periods. SamCERAs antic-
ipates a 7.5 percent annual return but its
investment performance ranks in the bottom
20 percent, according to the civil grand jury.
SamCERA CEO David Bailey said its esti-
mate of the unfunded liability is specific to
its fund investments while the civil grand
jurys higher estimate is not. Bailey said the
jury also estimates as if SamCERAs entire
fund is invested in bonds rather than a more
diversified portfolio.
Bailey also disagrees with the rate of
return noted in the report, saying as of March
31, 2013, the fund had earned 7.7 percent
over the prior 10 years.
The jury report SamCERAs funded lia-
bility: The elephant in the room recom-
mends the county prioritize paying down the
debt over new or expanded programs and that
the pension plan improve its financial disclo-
sures.
The county has been trying to highlight the
pension challenge and does not disagree
with the grand jurys conclusion, said
spokesman Marshall Wilson.
However, he said, the individual pensions
have to be put in perspective.
The average retiree from San Mateo
County receives an annual pension of
$33,876, or $2,823 a month, Wilson said.
The county budgeted a $92.5 million con-
tribution to SamCERA as partial payment on
the liability which is more than allocated for
each of the Sheriffs Office, capital projects,
road construction and maintenance, library
system or parks, the report stated.
The use of Measure A sales tax revenue to
cut down on the liability has been suggested
but nothing has yet been approved and the
issue wont be discussed by the Board of
Supervisors until June.
Even if SamCERAs reported $1 billion
unfunded liability is accurate, the figure still
breaks down to $1,500 for every man,
woman and child in San Mateo County, the
report concludes.
The countys taxpayers pay the price rather
than pension recipients through slashed serv-
ices, higher taxes or both, the report stated.
Over the past four years, the county has
already slashed employees, frozen pay and
restricted hiring along with trying to contain
retirement costs through new benefit formu-
las and establishing a higher age of receipt.
Most county employees have not had a pay
raise since 2008 and the Board of
Supervisors is taking concrete steps and
hearing regular updates from SamCERA,
Wilson said
But the jurors say that rather than mean-
ingfully addressing SamCERAs problem,
the Board of Supervisors opted for a strategy
of hope hope that they dont need to
increase its contribution, hope the 7.5 per-
cent rate of return is met, hope the new pen-
sion changes will drop the liability and hope
they dont need to make changes unpopular
with employees.
The civil grand jury reports are not legally
binding but recipients are required to
respond in writing within 90 days. In July
2012, the jury addressed the countys esca-
lating retirement costs which touched on the
unfunded liability and rate of return assump-
tions. The current grand jury decided to dig
deeper into this aspect because of the dra-
matic impact both can have on the countys
financial well-being.

day now in every part of San Mateo County.
Affluent neighborhoods, however, such as in
San Mateo or Hillsborough are targeted even
more by criminals.
In the past couple of months, door-knock
burglaries in both cities have sent police on
high-speed chases that ended in multiple
arrests in Belmont and the arrest of another
man who robbed a Hillsborough home who
was nabbed later in San Francisco.
The San Mateo County Police Chiefs and
Sheriffs Association has noted a great uptick
in property crimes starting around the holi-
days in December, said San Mateo Police
Chief Susan Manheimer, also president of
the local chiefs association.
In San Mateo, the citys burglary rate was
up 34 percent for January and February of
this year, according to uniform crime report-
ing statistics sent to the FBI.
The year-to-year numbers are climbing as
well as larceny spiked upward 12 percent
from 2011 to 2012 and auto thefts climbed 4
percent during the same period, according to
the San Mateo Police Department.
In 2010, the FBI estimates larceny alone
cost its victims across the United States $6.1
billion.
Manheimer and other local police officials
recently addressed the San Mateo Council of
Cities to brief municipal elected officials on
some of the reasons for the crime trends.
The reasons include:
What were once brief spikes in crime are
now longer trends of criminal activity;
What used to be small suspect groups has
now expanded to multiple crews working
larger geographic areas such as multiple
cities or the entire county;
Low risk of long-term incarceration
since the change in realignment sentencing
guidelines, property crimes such as vehicle
and residential burglary only result in being
sentenced to county jail rather than state
prison;
Ease of monetary return on small
portable items the price of gold is high
and electronics items such as mobile phones,
tablet computers and laptops are easily
resold online;
The Peninsula is a target rich environ-
ment with many upscale neighborhoods
where both parents work, the children go to
school and homes are unoccupied during the
entire day.
The most disturbing trend, however, is the
recruitment of juveniles, Manheimer said.
Crime crews are routinely using juveniles,
such as high school dropouts, to commit
crimes under the tutelage and direction of an
adult, Manheimer said.
There is almost no risk of juvenile incar-
ceration due to realignment, Manheimer
said.
Police are taking a countywide look at the
problem and in San Mateo they have saturat-
ed some neighborhoods with extra patrols to
curb the activity or catch the crooks.
Police have enacted regional and county-
wide responses to the trend, Manheimer said.
There are also a number of shopping cen-
ters, theaters and downtown areas where
expensive vehicles are parked and often
leave valuable electronic items in plain view,
Manheimer said. These become easy targets
in unlocked vehicles and are visible enough
to prompt a window-smash to locked vehi-
cles, she said.

HAIRCUT (reg.$14)
By David Crary
NEW YORK They look intent-
ly at the camera, some impassively,
some with smiles, all of them aware
that theyve just shared with an
online audience a most personal
story: Why they tried to kill them-
selves.
By the dozens, survivors of
attempted suicide across the United
States are volunteering to be part of
a project by a Brooklyn-based pho-
tographer, DeseRae Stage, called
Live Through This a collection
of photographic portraits and per-
sonal accounts.
Its one of several new initiatives
transforming the nations suicide-
prevention community as more sur-
vivors nd the courage to speak out
and more experts make efforts to
learn from them. Theres a new sur-
vivors task force, an array of blogs,
some riveting YouTube clips, all
with the common goal of stripping
away anonymity, stigma and shame.
Everyone feels like they have to
walk on egg shells, says Stage,
who once tried to kill herself with
self-inicted cuts. Were not that
fragile. We have to gure out how to
talk about it, rather than avoiding
it.
Such conversations are proliferat-
ing.
In January, the American
Association of Suicidology
launched a website called What
Happens Now? described as the
rst sustained effort by a national
prevention organization to engage
survivors in a public forum. It fea-
tures a blog, updated weekly, with
contributions from survivors shar-
ing their experiences and often
using their real names.
In one of the latest posts, the
founder of a respite home for suici-
dal people writes powerfully about
her own suicide attempt eight years
ago, involving both pills and a
kitchen knife, and about the contri-
butions that survivors can bring to
prevention efforts.
Survivors have a unique perspec-
tive on what lifes like down in the
deep, dark hole, writes Sabrina
Strong, executive director of
Waking Up Alive in Albuquerque,
N.M. We found our way out ...
Were not afraid to crawl down in
the dark hole with someone else.
Seeking to encourage those types
of contributions, the National
Action Alliance for Suicide
Prevention a federally funded
public-private partnership has
formed a rst-of-its-kind task force
comprised of prevention experts and
Suicide survivors help to shape prevention efforts
DeseRae Stage said only one of her subjects has had a change of heart and
asked not to be publicly identied.

survivors. It plans to issue recommendations
this fall for how practitioners and organizations
in the prevention field can engage and
empower suicide attempt survivors.
One of the task force co-chairs is psycholo-
gist John Draper, project director of the
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, a net-
work of centers that eld calls from emotional-
ly distressed and potentially suicidal people.
According to studies cited by Draper, about 7
percent of survivors later kill themselves, a far
higher rate than for other groups.
Yet that means 93 percent go on to live out
their lives, he said. Weve got to talk to them,
engage then, nd out what is bringing them
hope and keeping them alive.
The other co-chair is Eduardo Vega, the sur-
vivor of a suicide attempt who is now executive
director of the Mental Health Association of
San Francisco.
Nobody can speak to the issues, the sort of
agony, even the decision-making that goes on
when youre actively suicidal so much as some-
body whos been there, and can relate to all
thats going on in a nonjudgmental way, Vega
says in a recent video. Thats the sort of magic
that will make a difference.
In past decades, the stigma surrounding sui-
cide was intense, and most people who tried to
kill themselves avoided any public disclosures
about their experiences. There was far more
involvement in the prevention movement by
bereaved relatives of people who completed a
suicide.
Among them was Michelle Linn-Gust,
whose sister killed herself at 17 and who, in her
current role as president of the American
Association of Suicidology, helped launch the
What Happens Now? website.
The bereaved, the people whove lost some-
one, like me, that movement has taken off,
Linn-Gust said. But the attempt survivors
have not had a voice. Nobody has given them a
home.
Over the years, individuals who had
attempted suicide would surface occasionally,
writing books or going on the public-speaking
circuit to share their experiences. One such
communicator is Kevin Hines, who became a
prolic writer and speaker after surviving a
jump from the Golden Gate Bridge in 2000. A
survivor in Canada, David Granirer, has carved
out a specialty as a stand-up comedian whose
monologues address depression and mental ill-
ness.
Among Granirers routines is a feigned
phone conversation in which he unsettles a
smarmy telemarketer. Im so depressed, he
says. If you hang up, Ill kill myself.
Whats new in the past couple of years is a
broader phenomenon a surge of collective
projects by survivors, corresponding with a
keener and more systematic interest by preven-
tion experts in their potential contributions.
The voices of people who have thought
about suicide and possibly attempted suicide
have been largely absent from public conversa-
tions about suicide and what should be done
about it, says Karen Butler Easter, president of
National Association of Crisis Center
Directors. They know what hurts, and they
know what helps.
One asset that survivors say they can supply
is candor.
We are willing to speak truthfully, even if
others are afraid to, writes Sabrina Strong in
her recent blog post. We understand that we
do others a disservice by providing generic and
whitewashed advice from the school of magi-
cal thinking `Things will get better.
`Everythings all right.
Sometimes things dont get better, at least
not right away.
Historically, prevention specialists made rel-
atively little effort to seek input from people
who tried to kill themselves. Experts say treat-
ment often was and in some cases still is
condescending, and at times harsh and puni-
tive.
The attitude was that if a person tried to kill
themselves, they were irresponsible, they were
not people we could trust, and we knew whats
better for them, said John Draper. There also
was some concern that they might kill them-
selves if we engaged them.
Those attitudes have evolved in recent years,
with more interest in collaborative treatment.
Yet prevention experts say many therapists lack
specialized training in how to deal with sur-
vivors and balk at treating them because their
above-average rate of eventually killing them-
selves prompts fear of malpractice suits by
their families.
Among those serving with Draper and Vega
on the new task force is Heidi Bryan of
Neenah, Wis., who survived a suicide attempt
in the 1980s and whose brother did kill himself.
Bryan, 55, has been active for more than a
decade in suicide-prevention initiatives, and
has observed notable changes in how experts
view survivors.
I remember sitting at a conference when
speakers were talking about survivors it was
like we were lab rats, she said. Now theyre
nally realizing maybe we should be brought
in on this. We need to erase the misperceptions
that people have about us, so were treated with
the respect we deserve.

BEIJING Two more people have
died in China from a new strain of bird
u, raising the death toll from the virus
to 13, state media reported Sunday.
The ofcial Xinhua News Agency said
the two deaths were reported in
Shanghai and that three new cases were
also conrmed in the nancial hub. A
total of 11 new cases were reported
Sunday including two in a central
province that previously had been unaf-
fected. In all, 60 cases of the virus,
known as H7N9, have been reported in
China.
The two cases reported Sunday in cen-
tral Henan province, which is next to
Beijing, followed an announcement
Saturday that a 7-year-old girl had
become the rst person in the capital to
be infected with the virus. All previous
reported cases were in Shanghai and
other eastern areas of China.
A World Health Organization ofcial
said Sunday that it wasnt surprising that
the virus had spread to Beijing.
Michael OLeary, head of WHOs
ofce in China, said its not the case that
everyone conrmed to be infected with
H7N9 was clustered in one small area
with the same source of exposure.
So weve been expecting new cases
to occur. ... Furthermore, we still expect
that there will be other cases, he said.
Four new cases were reported Sunday
in eastern Zhejiang province and two
more in Jiangsu.
Health officials believe the virus,
which was rst spotted in humans last
month, is spreading through direct con-
tact with infected fowl.
OLeary said the good news was
that there was still no evidence that
humans had passed on the virus to other
humans.
As far as we know, all the cases are
individually infected in a sporadic and
not connected way, he said, adding that
the source of infection was still being
investigated.
The girl from Beijing, whose parents
are in the live poultry trade, was admit-
ted to a hospital Thursday with symp-
toms of fever, sore throat, coughing and
headache, the Beijing Health Bureau
said.

May 19 race.
We have time to gure some things
out, Lee said.
He added that details about the Boston
explosions remain unclear and may
affect what additional security measures
are taken.
Lee noted that preliminary reports
indicated the bombs may have been
inside trashcans, and said, were look-
ing and are sensitive to that.
Suhr said police and other city depart-
ments held a conference call after the
bombing and that the Police
Departments command staff will be
walking along Market Street to ensure
public safety.
The police chief encouraged anyone
who sees anything suspicious to alert
authorities.
Err on the side of caution, Suhr said.
Better it be nothing and we dispense
with it quickly than it be something that
we dont know about and somebody gets
hurt.
He said police arent the only source
of security in a large event such as a
race, which spans several miles in a city.
If theres going to be 50,000 people
in the Bay to Breakers ... thats 50,000
sets of eyes and ears that listen and see,
and if you see something, say some-
thing, Suhr said.
A smaller race is scheduled for this
weekend in Golden Gate Park, and
organizers of that race, the Playworks
San Francisco Run for Recess 5K, are
also in communication with the city,
Playworks executive director Ellen
Goodman said.
Goodman said it is still too early to tell
what security changes could be made
until more information comes to light
from Boston.
Another big event coming up in San
Francisco is the Americas Cup, for
which preliminary races begin in July.
SECURITY
an act of terrorism.
President Barack Obama vowed that
those responsible will feel the full weight
of justice.
As many as two unexploded bombs
were also found near the end of the 26.2-
mile course as part of what appeared to be
a well-coordinated attack, but they were
safely disarmed, according to a senior
U.S. intelligence ofcial, who also spoke
on condition of anonymity because of the
continuing investigation.
The ery twin blasts took place about
10 seconds and about 100 yards apart,
knocking spectators and at least one run-
ner off their feet, shattering windows and
sending dense plumes of smoke rising
over the street and through the uttering
national ags lining the route. Blood
stained the pavement, and huge shards
were missing from window panes as high
as three stories.
They just started bringing people in
with no limbs, said runner Tim Davey of
Richmond, Va. He said he and his wife,
Lisa, tried to shield their childrens eyes
from the gruesome scene inside a medical
tent that had been set up to care for
fatigued runners, but they saw a lot.
They just kept lling up with more and
more casualties, Lisa Davey said. Most
everybody was conscious. They were very
dazed.
As the FBI took charge of the investiga-
tion, authorities shed no light on a motive
or who may have carried out the bombings,
and police said they had no suspects in cus-
tody. Ofcials in Washington said there
was no immediate claim of responsibility.
WBZ-TV reported late Monday that
law enforcement ofcers were searching
an apartment in the Boston suburb of
Revere. Massachusetts State Police con-
rmed that a search warrant related to the
investigation into the explosions was
served Monday night in Revere but pro-
vided no further details.
Police said three people were killed. An
8-year-old boy was among the dead,
according to a person who talked to a
friend of the family and spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity. The person said the
boys mother and sister were also injured
as they waited for his father to nish the
race.
Hospitals reported at least 144 people
injured, at least 17 of them critically. The
victims injuries included broken bones,
shrapnel wounds and ruptured eardrums.
At Massachusetts General Hospital,
Alisdair Conn, chief of emergency servic-
es, said: This is something Ive never
seen in my 25 years here ... this amount of
carnage in the civilian population. This is
what we expect from war.
Some 23,000 runners took part in the
race, one of the worlds oldest and most
prestigious marathons.
One of Bostons biggest annual events,
the race winds up near Copley Square, not
far from the landmark Prudential Center
and the Boston Public Library. It is held
on Patriots Day, which commemorates the
rst battles of the American Revolution, at
Concord and Lexington in 1775.
Boston Police Commissioner Edward
Davis asked people to stay indoors or go
back to their hotel rooms and avoid
crowds as bomb squads methodically
checked parcels and bags left along the
race route.
TERROR
The search was made more difcult
because heavy cellphone use caused slow
and delayed service. In an age connected
by everything digital, the hours after the
blasts produced a tense silence.
At the race, 51-year-old Julie Jeske of
Bismarck, N.D., had nished about 15
minutes before the explosions and was
getting food about two blocks away
when she heard two loud booms. She
immediately tried to call her parents, but
could not place the call. A friend was
able to post on Facebook that they were
OK, but reaching her parents was anoth-
er worry.
I wasnt able to call and I felt so bad,
Jeske said. When I was nally able to
reach them, my mom said she was just
absolutely beside herself with fear.
Tim Apuzzo of Seattle said he spent an
agonizing 10 minutes frantically trying
to call his girlfriend, Quinn Schweizer,
who was watching the marathon with her
friends at the nish line. But when he
kept getting a recording saying there was
no service, he started to worry because
you know you have a group of people in
this generation all wired in ... and quick
to respond.
Finally, she was able to call him to say
she was safe and that her group had left
the nish line just minutes before the
blast to walk to a cafe for lunch.
Google stepped in to help family and
friends of runners nd their loved ones,
setting up a site called Google Person
Finder that allows users to enter the name
of a person theyre looking for or enter
information about someone who was
there. A few hours after the explosion,
the site indicated it was tracking 3,600
records.
Mary Beth Aasen of Shorewood, Wis.,
and her husband were using an app to
track their daughter Maggies progress
along the marathon route. They didnt
realize anything was wrong until a wor-
ried friend texted Aasen and asked if
Maggie was OK.
The app indicated that Maggie was still
moving, a relief for her parents. Mary
Beth Aasen tried in vain to call her
daughter for about 30 minutes before
Maggie called her.
When I talked to her she was pretty
upset, Aasen said. Physically she said
she felt great but she was upset because
she hadnt been in contact with her
friends.
Aasen said she was waiting for Maggie
to call her back with an update, but knew
cellphone service was slow in the area.
I just feel terrible for the people who
havent been in contact with their family
and friends who are there, she said. Im
praying for everyone who hasnt heard
yet.
David Meixelsperger, who owns the
Berkeley Running Company in Madison,
Wis., nished the race about 90 minutes
before the explosion. He sent an email to
customers of his store and friends in the
running community letting everyone
know he was safe, but that he couldnt
send or receive calls on his cellphone.

aries (March 21-April 19) -- To achieve some of
your bigger objectives, you might have to do things
in a circuitous way. Just be sure not to charge into
walls, hoping they will crumble on impact.
taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Argumentative
individuals will frustrate you, but the solution is
obvious. Dont involve yourself with companions
who overreact to a difference of opinions.
GeMini (May 21-June 20) -- Take nothing for
granted in both your commercial and personal
dealings. If you play things too loose, you might
think you have an agreement, when all youve got is
a maybe.
CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- To get along well with
someone who is pertinent to your plans, it might
be necessary for you to make some concessions.
Failing to do so could bring things to a halt.
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When sharing a job with
others, be sure that no one person has more work to
do than the others. Each must do his or her share.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Be prepared to operate
on your own if it becomes necessary. A friend upon
whom you can usually depend might let you down.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be a good sport and
pick up all the pieces after someones temper
tantrum. This person needs to be consoled, not
chastised.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Its rarely a good idea
to get angry with someone just because he or she
disagrees with you. Its important to keep an open
mind and a forgiving heart.
saGittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Guard against
inclinations to suddenly change course, especially
when your goal is within reach. A shift in direction
will do nothing except take you off track.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you are not
successful, it isnt due to a lack of good ideas.
Although your imagination is excellent, your
implementation might not be.
aQuarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be careful that
you do not trip over your own shoelaces. The only
obstacles in your path are the ones you put there
yourself.
PisCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If its up to you to
make plans for a get-together with friends, give
thought to who is involved. Dont invite anyone who
hasnt been getting along with everyone else.

to the highest bidder for cash or check as
described below, payable in full at time of

to and now held by it under said Deed of

scribed in the above referenced Deed of
Trust. The street address and other
common designation, if any, of the real
property described above is purported to

gation secured by the property to be sold
plus reasonable estimated costs, ex-
penses and advances at the time of the
initial publication of the Notice of Sale is

under, with interest as provided, and the
unpaid principal of the Note secured by
said Deed of Trust with interest thereon
as provided in said Note, plus fees,

and of the trusts created by said Deed of
Trust. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BID-
DERS If you are considering bidding on
this property lien, you should understand
that there are risks involved in bidding at
203 Public Notices
a trustee auction. You will be bidding on
a lien, not on a property itself. Placing
the highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you
are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to in-
vestigate the existence, priority, and size
of outstanding liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county record-
er's office or a title insurance company,
either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware
that the lender may hold more than one
mortgage or deed of trust on the proper-
ty. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER
The sale date shown on this notice of
sale may be postponed one or more
times by the mortgagee, beneficiary,
trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California Civil Code. The
law requires that information about trust-
ee sale postponements be made availa-
ble to you and to the public, as a courte-
sy to those not present at the sale. If you
wish to learn whether your sale date has
been postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call 1-800-281-
8219 or visit this Internet Web site
www.recontrustco.com, using the file
number assigned to this case 12-
0070696. Information about postpone-
ments that are very short in duration or
that occur close in time to the scheduled
sale may not immediately be reflected in
the telephone information or on the Inter-
net Web site. The best way to verify
postponement information is to attend
the scheduled sale. DATED:

BAGHDAD Insurgents in Iraq
deployed a series of car bombs as part of
highly coordinated attacks that cut across
a wide swath of the country Monday,
killing at least 55 on the deadliest day in
nearly a month.
The assault bore the hallmarks of a
resurgent al-Qaida in Iraq and appeared
aimed at sowing fear days before the rst
elections since U.S. troops withdrew.
There was no immediate claim of
responsibility, but coordinated attacks
are a favorite tactic of al-Qaidas Iraq
branch.
Iraqi ofcials believe the insurgent
group is growing stronger and increasing-
ly coordinating with allies ghting to top-
ple Syrian President Bashar Assad across
the border. They say rising lawlessness on
the Syria-Iraq frontier and cross-border
cooperation with a Syrian group, the
Nusra Front, has improved the militants
supply of weapons and foreign ghters.
The intensifying violence, some of it
related to the provincial elections sched-
uled for Saturday, is worrying for Iraqi
ofcials and Baghdad-based diplomats
alike. At least 14 candidates have been
killed in recent weeks, including one
slain in an apparent ambush Sunday.
Of course we are concerned about the
violence in the country that has been
increasing in the last weeks, United
Nations envoy Martin Kobler told the
Associated Press. He condemned the
bloodshed and urged Iraqi ofcials to
push ahead with the elections.
They should be free and fair, and
every voter should go to the polls free of
intimidation and fear, he said.
Iraqi Army Maj. Gen. Hassan al-
Baydhani, the No. 2 ofcial at Baghdads
military command, said authorities man-
aged to defuse three car bombs in
Baghdad before they could go off.
He described the violence as an
attempt to derail the elections and intim-
idate voters.
The terrorists want to grab headlines
as we approach election day, he said.
Mondays attacks most of them car
bombings were unusually broad in
scope. Among the places where attacks
erupted were the Sunni-dominated west-
ern Anbar province and Saddam
Husseins hometown of Tikrit, the ethni-
cally contested oil-rich city of Kirkuk
and towns in the predominantly Shiite
south.
The deadliest attacks hit Baghdad,
where multiple car bombs and other
explosions killed 25 people.
In one attack, a parked car bomb
exploded at a bus station in the eastern
suburbs of Kamaliya, killing four and
wounding 13. Qassim Saad, a teacher in
a nearby school, said his pupils began
screaming as the explosion shattered
windows.
He described a chaotic scene where
security forces opened re into the air
upon arrival to disperse onlookers as
overturned vegetable carts sat stained
with blood amid wrecked storefronts.
Saad blamed politicians and security
forces for lapses that led to the attacks,
saying that elected ofcials are doing
nothing to help the people and are only
looking out for their benets.
Series of Iraqi car bombs kill 55
Maduro certified as election winner amid protests
CARACAS, Venezuela Venezuelas government-friendly
electoral council quickly certied the razor-thin presidential
victory of Hugo Chavez hand-picked suc-
cessor Monday, apparently ignoring oppo-
sition demands for a recount as anti-gov-
ernment protests broke out in the bitterly
polarized nation.
People stood on their balconies in
Caracas apartment buildings banging pots
and pans in protest as the electoral coun-
cils president proclaimed Nicolas Maduro
president for the next six years.
Across town, thousands of students
clashed with National Guard troops in riot gear who red tear
gas and plastic bullets to turn the protesters back from march-
ing on the city center. Students threw stones and pieces of con-
crete.
The city was otherwise peaceful, although protests were
reported in provincial cities. There were no immediate reports
of injuries.
Maduro was elected Sunday by a margin of 50.8 percent to
49 percent over challenger Henrique Capriles a difference
of just 262,000 votes out of 14.9 million cast, according to an
updated ofcial count released Monday.
Boston blasts prompt
U.K. review of London Marathon
LONDON British police are reviewing security plans for
Sundays London Marathon, the next major international
marathon, because of the bombs that killed two people at the
race in Boston. But there is no known specic or credible
threat against the British race as of yet, a security ofcial said.
The London Marathon is a hugely popular race. Last year,
some 37,500 athletes competed, with many more watching the
springtime event.
London has long been considered a top target for interna-
tional terrorists, with the government saying the threat level is
substantial. In 2005, a series of suicide attacks on the public
transport system in the British capital killed 52 people.
London and mainland Britain also face a moderate threat
from Northern Ireland-related terrorism, according to the gov-
ernment.
Two bombs exploded near the nish of the Boston Marathon
on Monday, killing two people, and injuring at least 22 others,
race organizers and police said.
