Ballot might
be necessary
for land swap
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Regardless of whether the city of
San Carlos or its elementary
school district wants to swap land
to accommodate a charter school
and new athletic elds, voters may
have the ultimate say on the mat-
ter.
The government code requires a
ballot decision to convert land
designated for parks into another
use, according to City Attorney
Greg Rubens.
That option, along with several
others, will be up for discussion
Tuesday night when the City
Council holds a special study ses-
sion on the proposed trade with
the San Carlos Elementary School
District.
The proposed swap is between
the district-owned property at the
top of the hill on the Tierra Linda
Middle School campus for the
city-owned land on Crestview
Drive near Marigold Lane. The city
would have a new spot for poten-
tially more field space and the
school district would have land to
relocate the Charter Learning
Center which frees up space at
Tierra Linda for a fourth- and fth-
San Carlos officials to study options
on elementary school district proposal

San Mateo County could poten-
tially double its money on a pair
of ofce towers purchased for $40
million with plans to free itself
from pricey department leases but
ultimately rented to a major
telecommunications company.
One and Two Circle Star Way,
known collectively as Circle Star
Plaza, will be auctioned off in May
and broker CBRE recommends a
minimum bid of $85.5 million
although the nal price tag will be
market driven, according to Real
Property Services Manager Freda
Manuel.
In a report to county supervi-
sors, Manuel cited the recent
upward commercial market trends
making now an advantageous
time to sell rather than hold on to
the property.
Even that minimum is signi-
cantly higher than the $47 mil-
lion the county paid to buy,
improve, manage and lease out the
property. Commission payments
up to $600,000 will come from
the sale proceeds and due diligence
costs up to $250,000 will come
out of either the sale or the gener-
al fund.
The county purchased the two
four-story office buildings plus
parking for $40 million in 2011
as a way to relocate departments
renting space elsewhere and also
911 dispatch but discovered mak-
ing the facilities compliant would
cost more than constructing an
entirely new building. The coun-
tys space needs also downsized.
Instead, SoftBank Corp. first
contracted to rent out the
103,948-square-foot tower at 1
County could double money on Circle Star sale
Proposed $85.5 million opening bid much higher than $40 million purchase price

John Gill Elementarys outreach specialist Pam Thornburg leads members of the Happy Club in song outside of
their second-grade classroom.
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
If you stopped by John Gill
Elementary School in 1970, youd
nd an upbeat teacher named Pam
Thornburg.
Today, youd still nd Thornburg
at the Redwood City school, but in
a different capacity as the schools
outreach specialist. For the past
12 years, she has coordinated var-
ious programs for students and
families, including student success
team meetings, the food pantry,
the Jewish Coalition for
Literacys reading intervention
program, the Happy Club and the
angel brigade.
We offer a lot of services to the
students, she said. For teachers,
its a challenge to choose which to
assign to different services with a
limited amount of resources.
For the winter holidays this
year, the entire staff volunteered to
each buy one student warm cloth-
ing as part of Thornburgs angel
brigade program, which she used
to run just with friends for 20 years
prior. This year, she plans to pro-
vide students with Christmas
stockings as well.
It was really heartwarming,
she said. You feel good about
yourself since these children are
really in need of something warm
to wear.
Helping struggling families at
the school is paramount for the
fourth generation San Franciscan
who now lives in Burlingame.
Students at the school face a lot of
challenges, she said.

1989
Forty-seven sailors were killed when
a gun turret exploded aboard the USS
Iowa in the Caribbean.
The charm, one might say the genius
of memory, is that it is choosy, chancy and
temperamental: it rejects the edifying cathedral
and indelibly photographs the small boy
outside, chewing a hunk of melon in the dust.

ecorating and coloring eggs at
Easter dates back to England in
the Middle Ages. In 1290,
Edward I, the king of England (1239-
1307), purchased 450 eggs to be deco-
rated with gold leaf and given as Easter
gifts.
***
The worlds largest Easter egg weighs
5,000 pounds. The 25 foot wide and 18
foot high aluminum and steel egg was
built in 1975 in Vegreville, Canada.
The egg is visited by thousands of
tourists every year.
***
A chicken lays 250 to 270 eggs per
year.

You cant tell if an egg is hard-boiled
or not by looking at it , but you can
tell by spinning it. If the egg spins
easily, it is boiled. If it wobbles, it is
raw.

Rabbits and hares are not the same.

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

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The boater who fatally rammed into
another vessel in the San Francisco Bay off
Brisbane in August 2011 is guilty of misde-
meanor vehicular manslaughter, according
to a jury.
Phillip Larson, 77, was convicted of two
misdemeanors, vehicular manslaughter and
reckless operation of a water vessel, in the
watery Aug. 3, 2011, accident off Brisbane
that killed Minh Truong, 30, and left his
father, Kiet, clinging to the capsized boat.
He faces up to a year in jail.
Prosecutors argued that Larson was not
under the inuence of any substance but had
plenty of opportunity to avoid crashing his
boat Next Chapter into the 19-foot long
1972 Sabercraft boat carrying Truong and
his father. Larson claimed never to have
seen the boat carrying Truong but the U.S.
Coast Guard disagreed and concluded that he
had the duty to yield had failed to yield to the
smaller vessel as was his duty because his
41-foot long motor boat was larger.
Six years previous to the fatal crash,
Larson allegedly crashed a boat into the
Hunters Point Pier and injured one, accord-
ing to a wrongful death lawsuits led against
him and his Next Chapter corporation by
Kiet Truong and the mother of Minh
Truongs two young children.
Ajudge did not allow the jury to hear evi-
dence of the previous incident.

California farmers
to get more water
By Scott Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRESNO Drought-stricken California
farmers and cities are set to get more water
as state and federal ofcials ease cutbacks
due to recent rain and snow, officials
announced on Friday.
The Department of Water Resources said it
is increasing water allotments from the
State Water Project from zero to 5 percent of
what water districts have requested. The
State Water Project supplies water to 29
public agencies serving more than 25 mil-
lion Californians and irrigates nearly a mil-
lion acres of farmland.
Also, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation said
it will supply 75 percent of the water
requested by water agencies in the
Sacramento Valley, up from the current 40
percent.
This is all a bit of good news in an oth-
erwise bleak water year, Mark Cowin,
director of the California Department of
Water Resources, said on a conference call
with reporters.
The states increase to a 5 percent alloca-
tion will make a little more than 200,000
acre-feet available. An acre-foot is enough
water to cover an acre to a depth of 1 foot,
and roughly enough to sustain a family of
four for a year.
Federal and state ofcials said rain and
snow from storms in February and March
allowed them to increase water allotments.
The news comes as the state is experienc-
ing its third consecutive dry year. Gov.
Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency
in January.

Vehicle fire leads to fuel spill
Approximately 12 gallons of
fuel ran into the storm drain after a
vehicle re in the intersection of
Casa Bona and Newlands avenues
in Belmont Friday morning,
according to police.
At approximately 9:05 a.m.,
Belmont firefighters and police
ofcers responded to a report of a
vehicle on re and found a 1984
Volkswagen van fully engulfed in
ames. The re was quickly extin-
guished but not before the con-
tents of the fuel tank, approxi-
mately 12 gallons of gasoline, ran
down the street and into a storm
sewer at the corner of Casa Bona
and Semeria avenues, according to
police.
Due to the potential hazard, traf-
c in the area was diverted and
additional re apparatus from the
San Mateo Fire Department
responded to assist Belmont re-
fighters. Belmont Public Works
and San Mateo County
Environmental Health also
responded to deal with the spill.
The driver, a 58-year-old
Belmont woman, told investiga-
tors she was driving on Casa Bona
Avenue when the van began to run
rough. Ashort time later, she saw
smoke and realized the van was on
re. At this time it appears the re
started in the engine compartment
and appears accidental. The van
was towed from the scene, accord-
ing to police.
At approximately 11:40 a.m.,
the area was declared safe and the
traffic restrictions were lifted.
There were no injuries, according
to police.

SAN FRANCISCO More
Latino than white students in
California have been offered
admission to the states premier
public universities for the first
time, ofcials said Friday, a mile-
stone that reflects the diverse
racial makeup of a state where
Latino children represent a majori-
ty of students in public schools.
Preliminary admissions data
show that 17,589 Latino students
have been accepted as freshmen at
one of the University of
Californias nine undergraduate
campuses for the fall, or 29 per-
cent of all 61,120 in-state appli-
cants who were offered a spot. That
compares to 16,378 white resi-
dents, who made up 27 percent of
the admitted applicants.
Asian Americans remained the
largest single ethnic group repre-
sented in the accepted freshman
class, making up 36 percent of all
Californians admitted. Black stu-
dents received 4 percent of the
admission offers.
Campaign for College
Opportunity Community Affairs
Director Audrey Dow called the
growing share of Latino students
qualifying for a UC education a
positive trend.
It is really encouraging and
emphasizes that Latinos want to
go to college, Dow said. Latino
families, Latino students under-
stand the value of an education and
are doing what they need to do to
be competitive and eligible for the
most rigorous system in the
state.
University officials said that
competition to get into a UC
school remained stiff, a situation
they tried to address by making
room for more students. A record
86,865 students from California,
out-of-state and abroad were
accepted, or 58 percent of all
148,688 applicants. By compari-
son, the system had a 68 percent
acceptance rate for Fall 2011. The
new numbers are a sign of how
much harder winning a spot has
become.

students admitted to UC

From Clinton to Obama, many parallels
WASHINGTON Thousands of pages of documents from
President Bill Clintons White House afrm a longtime
adage: The more things change, the more they stay the same.
As Clinton prepared for an August 1994 news conference
in which he hoped to build public support for his struggling
and ultimately unsuccessful health care overhaul, he
told his advisers: Alot of them want to know they can keep
their own plan if they like it. Later that fall, Clintons
Democrats were routed in midterm elections and lost control
of Congress.
Nearly two decades later, President Barack Obama sought
to reassure Americans about his own plan, which won
approval in Congress in 2010, by telling them, If you like
your plan you can keep it. Aspate of private policy cancel-
lations forced Obama to recant his pledge that all Americans
who liked their plans could simply keep them.
More than 8 million people have signed up for health
insurance under the Obamacare law; how the overhaul is
perceived could become a deciding point for the fate of
Obamas fellow Democrats in the 2014 midterm elections.
About 7,500 pages of records released Friday through the
National Archives and the Clinton Presidential Library in
Little Rock, Ark., show the parallels between the Clinton
era and the White House under Obama. The documents may
also offer a glimpse into a future as former Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton, who led her husbands health care
task force, considers another presidential campaign in
2016.
Homeland Security
reissues immigrant asylum rules
WASHINGTON The Homeland Security Department has
reissued asylum rules to immigration ofcials amid concerns
that they are misinterpreting how to decide which immi-
grants get to see a judge for asylum claims.
The chief of the asylum division at U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services has told asylum ofcers that immi-
grants who make a credible fear claim, the rst step in the
asylum process, must have a signicant possibility of
winning an asylum case before a judge.
In a Feb. 28 memo, the ofcial, John Lafferty, said in order
to meet that standard immigrants have to demonstrate a sub-
stantial and realistic possibility of succeeding in court.
The memo, which updates an ofcer training course lesson
plan, does not substantially change the standard for how the
immigration agency handles such cases. The same language
was used to describe the standard to win a full hearing before
an immigration judge as far back as 2008, according to the
USCIS website.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. NASAs
robotic moon explorer, LADEE, is no
more.
Flight controllers conrmed that the
orbiting spacecraft crashed into the
back side of the moon Friday as
planned, avoiding the precious his-
toric artifacts left behind by moon-
walkers.
LADEEs annihilation occurred just
three days after it survived a full lunar
eclipse, something it was never
designed to do.
Researchers believe LADEE likely
vaporized when it hit because of its
extreme orbiting speed of 3,600 mph,
possibly smacking into a mountain or
side of a crater. No debris would have
been left behind.
Its bound to make a dent, project
scientist Rick Elphic predicted
Thursday.
By Thursday evening, the spacecraft
had been skimming the lunar surface at
an incredibly low altitude of 300 feet.
Its orbit had been lowered on purpose
last week to ensure a crash by Monday
following an extraordinarily success-
ful science mission.
LADEE short for Lunar
Atmosphere and Dust Environment
Explorer was launched in September
from Virginia. From the outset, NASA
planned to crash the spacecraft into
the back side of the moon, far from the
Apollo artifacts from the moonwalk-
ing days of 1969 to 1972.
Scattered over the near side of the
moon: the landing portions of six
lunar modules, ags, plaques, rovers
and more, not to mention those memo-
rable first footprints by Neil
Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Apollo 12
had been projected to be closest by
several hundred miles.
The last thing the LADEE team want-
ed was to plow into any of the his-
toric sites, said project manager
Butler Hine.
LADEE completed its primary 100-
day science mission last month and
was on overtime. The extension had
LADEE ying during Tuesday morn-
ings lunar eclipse; its instruments
were not designed to endure such pro-
longed darkness and cold.
But the small spacecraft survived
its about the size of a vending
machine with just a couple pressure
sensors acting up.
The mood in the control center at
NASAs Ames Research Center in
Mountain View was upbeat late
Thursday afternoon, according to
Hine.
Having own through the eclipse
and survived, the team is actually feel-
ing very good, Hine told the
Associated Press in a phone interview.
But the uncertainty of the timing of
LADEEs demise had the ight con-
trollers on edge, he said.
As it turns out, LADEE succumbed
within several hours of Hines com-
ments. NASA announced its end early
Friday morning.
It will be at least a day or two before
NASA knows precisely where the
spacecraft ended up; the data cutoff
indicates it smashed into the far side of
the moon, although just barely.

KATMANDU, Nepa An avalanche
swept down a climbing route on Mount
Everest early Friday, killing at least 12
Nepalese guides and leaving four missing in
the deadliest disaster on the worlds highest
peak. Several more were injured.
The Sherpa guides had gone to x ropes
for other climbers when the avalanche
struck an area known as the popcorn eld
for its bulging chunks of ice at about 6:30
a.m., Nepal Tourism Ministry official
Krishna Lamsal said from the base camp,
where he was monitoring rescue efforts.
An injured survivor told his relatives the
path up the mountain was unstable just
before the avalanche struck at an elevation
just below 21,000 feet (6,400 meters). As
soon as the avalanche hit, rescuers, guides
and climbers rushed to help.
Rescue workers pulled out 12 bodies from
under mounds of snow and ice and were
searching for the four missing guides,
Lamsal said. Ofcials had earlier said three
were missing.
Four survivors were injured badly enough
to require airlifting to a hospital in
Katmandu. One arrived during the day, and
three taken to the foothill town of Lukla
could be evacuated Saturday. Others with
less serious injuries were being treated at
base camp.
The avalanche struck ahead of the peak
climbing season, when hundreds of
climbers, guides and support crews were at
Everests base camp preparing to climb to
the summit when weather conditions are at
their most favorable early next month.
They had been setting up camps at higher
altitudes, and guides were xing routes and
ropes on the slopes above.
The wall of snow and ice hit just below
Camp 2, which sits at an elevation of
21,000 feet on the 29,036-foot mountain,
said Ang Tshering of the Nepal
Mountaineering Association.
One injured guide, Dawa Tashi, lay in the
intensive care unit at Grande Hospital in the
capital late Friday after being evacuated
from the mountain. Doctors said he suffered
several broken ribs and would be in the hos-
pital for a few days.
Tashi told his visiting relatives that the
Sherpa guides woke up early and were on
their way to x ropes to the higher camps
but were delayed because of the unsteady
path. Suddenly the avalanche fell on the
group and buried many of them, according
to Tashis sister-in-law Dawa Yanju.
The Sherpa people are one of the main
ethnic groups in Nepals alpine region, and
many make their living as climbing guides
on Everest and other Himalayan peaks.
More than 4,000 climbers have summited
Everest since 1953, when it was rst con-
quered by New Zealander Edmund Hillary and
Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Hundreds have died
attempting to reach the peak.

DONETSK, Ukraine Pro-Russian
insurgents deantly refused Friday to sur-
render their weapons or give up govern-
ment buildings in eastern Ukraine, despite
a diplomatic accord reached in Geneva and
overtures from the government in Kiev.
Denis Pushilin of the self-appointed
Donetsk Peoples Republic told reporters
the insurgents in more than 10 cities do not
recognize Ukraines interim government as
legitimate and will not leave the buildings
until the government resigns. He demanded
that Ukrainian leaders abandon their own
public buildings.
Talks between Ukraine, Russia, the
United States and the European Union pro-
duced an agreement Thursday in Geneva to
take tentative steps toward calming ten-
sions in Ukraine. The countrys former
leader ed to Russia in February and Russia
annexed Crimea in March. The Geneva
agreement calls for disarming all paramili-
tary groups and immediately returning all
government buildings seized across the
country.
Pushilin, speaking at the insurgent-occu-
pied regional headquarters in the eastern
city of Donetsk, said the agreement was
reasonable but insisted everyone should
vacate the buildings, including Arseniy
Yatsenyuk and Oleksandr Turchynov, the
acting Ukrainian prime minister and presi-
dent.
Ukraine has scheduled a presidential elec-
tion for May 25, but Pushilin reiterated a
call to hold a referendum on self-determina-
tion for the Donetsk region by May 11.
The same kind of referendum in Crimea led
to its annexation by Russia.

ACAPULCO, Mexico Apow-
erful magnitude-7.2 earthquake
shook central and southern
Mexico on Friday, sending pan-
icked people into the streets.
Some walls cracked and fell, but
there were no reports of major
damage or casualties.
The U.S. Geological Survey said
the quake at about 9:30 a.m.
(10:30 a.m. EDT; 1430 GMT) was
centered on a long-dormant fault
line northwest of the Pacic resort
of Acapulco, where many
Mexicans are vacationing for the
Easter holiday.
It was felt across at least a half-
dozen states and Mexicos capital,
where it collapsed several walls
and left large cracks in some
facades. Debris covered sidewalks
around the city.
Around the region, there were
reports of isolated and minor dam-
age, such as fallen fences, trees and
broken windows. Chilpancingo,
capital of the southern state of
Guerrero, where the quake was cen-
tered, reported a power outage, but
service was restored after 15 min-
utes.
In Acapulco, 59-year-old
Enedina Ramirez Perez was having
breakfast, enjoying the holiday
with about 20 family members,
when her hotel started to shake.
People were turning over
chairs in their desperation to get
out, grabbing children, tram-
pling people, the Mexico City
woman said. The hotel security
was excellent and started calm-
ing people down. They got
everyone to leave quietly.
The quake struck 170 miles (273
kilometers) southwest of Mexico
City, where people ed high-rises
and took to the streets, many in
still in their bathrobes and paja-
mas on their day off.
I started to hear the walls creak
and I said, Lets go, said Rodolfo
Duarte, 32, who ed his third-oor
apartment.
Mexico City Mayor Miguel
Angel Mancera said there were
small power outages from fallen
transformers but officials were
working to restore the service.
The USGS initially calculated
the quakes magnitude at 7.5, but
later downgraded it to 7.2. It said
the quake was centered 22 miles
(36 kilometers) northwest of the
town of Tecpan de Galeana, and
was 15 miles (24 kilometers) deep.

Captain of sunken South
Korean ferry arrested
By Youkyung Lee and Foster Klug
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOKPO, South Korea Police arrested the captain and
two other crew members of the South Korean ferry that sank
two days ago, leaving more than 270 people missing and 29
people dead, the Yonhap news agency reported Saturday.
As the last bit of the sunken ferrys hull slipped Friday
beneath the murky water off southern South Korea, there
was a new victim: a vice principal of the high school whose
students were among the passengers was found hanged, an
apparent suicide.
The Sewol had left the northwestern port of Incheon on
Tuesday on an overnight journey to the holiday island of
Jeju in the south with 476 people aboard, including 323 stu-
dents from Danwon High School in Ansan. It capsized with-
in hours of the crew making a distress call to the shore a lit-
tle before 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Only its dark blue keel jutted out over the surface. But by
Friday night, even that had disappeared, and rescuers set two
giant beige buoys to mark the area. Navy divers attached
underwater air bags to the 6,852-ton ferry to prevent it from
sinking deeper, the Defense Ministry said.
The coast guard said divers began pumping air into the
ship to try to sustain any survivors.
Strong currents and rain made it difcult to get inside the
ferry. Divers worked in shifts to try to get into the vessel,
where most of the passengers were believed to have been
trapped when it sank, coast guard spokesman Kim Jae-in
said.

High-speed rail and Sequoia
Healthcare District
Editor,
Even though high-speed rail will
never be built, the High-Speed Rail
Authority is here to stay with us. Just
like the Sequoia Healthcare District,
it has outlived its voter-approved pur-
pose. Like career criminals, those
ofcials cling to their jobs with their
insane salaries and benets. Our cor-
rupt politicians have no intentions to
change that, having put those leeches
in place themselves. And the ock of
voters re-elect the same corrupt of-
cials over and over again. Why do
you think the crooks in Sacramento
threaten to cut school funding rst if
voters would not support tax increas-
es? They want to make the next gen-
eration even dumber, so they can be
manipulated with less effort. Just my
thoughts.

Patently absurd
Obamacare opinion
Editor,
The unremitting right wing prattle
about the so-called evils of
Obamacare as published in Fridays
Daily Journal is not only inane but
deliberately deceptive.
The editorial writers of the Las
Vegas Review-Journal article printed
in the San Mateo Daily Journal even
acknowledge two potential benefits
that have accrued since the
Obamacare law came into being.
However, they deny the fact that
these things should rightly be cred-
ited to Obamacare, stating that it
could have happened without the
new law.
First, it is noted that the expan-
sion of Medicaid is an achievement.
Yet even now they proudly publish
how red state governors rightly
deny these benefits to the most indi-
gent and needy citizens of their
states even though 100 percent fed-
erally funded by Obamacare. In fact,
it was a bullheaded, obstructionist,
recalcitrant Republican Congress
that made the Medicaid expansion
optional rather than mandatory for
each individual state.
Secondly, the piece notes that
those with a pre-existing condition
can now appropriately buy health
coverage at a reasonable cost.
Democrats in Congress had been try-
ing for years to write that into a
health law long before Obamacare.
But no, Republican members votes,
bought and paid for by the unlimited
donations of highly profitable
health insurance companies blocked
this eminently reasonable provision
from passing.
So the thesis that these much need
reforms could or would have hap-
pened without Obamacare is patently
absurd.

Letters to the editor
Kansas City Star
B
y agreeing to serve as
President Barack Obamas
health and human services
secretary ve years ago, Kathleen
Sebelius assumed a front-and-center
role in a historical effort.
Presidents since Harry S. Truman
have tried to end the moral injustice
that left millions of Americans with-
out access to affordable health care.
Obama and the Democrats in
Congress, who at the time controlled
both chambers, had a mission and an
opportunity to change the system.
Sebelius left the Kansas governors
ofce to become a part of it. Her role
in getting the Affordable Care Act up
and running was never easy, and it
would become excruciating. But
Sebelius, who resigned her post on
Friday, contributed a great deal toward
creating a fairer and better health care
system for America.
Obama tapped Sebelius because
shed been insurance commissioner in
Kansas and shed succeeded as a
Democratic governor in a state as
Republican as they come.
But Sebelius had the good fortune in
Kansas to work with a Legislature
populated at least in part by moderate
Republicans who were willing to
work with her for the good of the
state.
Washington was different. For ve
years, the top priority of Republicans
in Congress and in many state legis-
latures has been to sabotage the presi-
dents health care law.
States refused to create their own
insurance exchanges, leaving the
Health and Human Services
Department with a bigger job than
had been envisioned. Congressional
Republicans refused to release money
to properly promote the market-
places.
None of that excuses the epic web-
site debacle that nearly derailed the
entire health care law. The online
insurance marketplace that was a cen-
terpiece of the Affordable Care Act
barely worked for a full two months.
As Kansas governor, Sebelius was a
wonkish, detail-oriented executive.
But she lost control of the develop-
ment of HealthCare.gov, the insur-
ance marketplace. The wrong people
were in charge, lines of authority were
unclear and too much was required in
too short a time.
Sebelius either didnt realize the
extent of the problems or she down-
played them to Obama. Both scenar-
ios are equally bad.
The turnaround of HealthCare.gov
has been as dramatic as its crash. By
the March 31 deadline, enrollment in
the insurance exchanges exceeded
expectations.
After catching blame for the failure,
Sebelius received little credit for the
success. The White House staff that
engineered the turnaround had little
use for Sebelius and her team.
It was time for the secretary to
leave. Obamas choice of Ofce of
Management and Budget Director
Sylvia Mathews Burwell to replace
Sebelius indicates his desire to have a
proven manager in charge as health
care reform progresses. She is a good
choice, and Congress should speedily
conrm her.
As for Sebelius, history will treat
her efforts more kindly than the head-
lines that are accompanying her
departure. Recollections of the blank
screens and error messages that
marred the roll-out of HealthCare.gov
will fade in time, and Americans will
focus on what matters.
Thanks in part to her work, mil-
lions of Americans can see a doctor
and deal with serious medical prob-
lems without fear of nancial ruin.
Insurance policies cant be canceled
when a consumer becomes seriously
ill or reaches a lifetime limit on treat-
ment. Hospitals are reducing errors
and controlling costs.
Getting kids insured has always
been a priority for Sebelius. So its
tting that her resignation should
come at the same time as a report
showing the uninsured rate for chil-
dren dropped 2.2 percentage points
while she was in ofce, to 7.5 per-
cent. That piece of good news makes
for a very satisfying sendoff.
Sebelius helped create a fairer health system
States culture
of corruption
Y
ouve read the headline above. To what do you
think it refers? See how easy that was? It doesnt
take much to bring up images of Sacramento politi-
cians taken away in handcuffs or city ofcials in court for
embezzling millions from tiny towns lled with low-
income residents.
Corruption has seeped into every corner of Californias
public life. Little, big and gigantic, corruption of all kinds
has too often become a way of life for Sacramento as well as
local politicians.
Lets review the bidding. Just this year, three Democrat
state senators were arrested, indicted or convicted of a range
of crimes. In January, state Sen. Rod Wright, D-Inglewood,
was convicted on eight felony
counts of perjury and voter fraud.
Politicians constantly tell us
that our vote is our most sacred
right and duty. Yet here is an
elected ofcial who was willing
to lie, cheat and steal his way
into ofce. So much for the
rights of voters.
Interestingly, Wrights compa-
triots in the state Senate har-
rumphed that the election law
was trivial and that really, he
should not be punished for some
technical violations. These of
course are the same people who
pile law upon on law and send swarms of bureaucrats and
ofcers to enforce them while demanding that we comply
or else.
Soon thereafter, state Sen. Ron Calderon, D-Montebello,
was indicted on felony charges of bribery and money laun-
dering. Press reports accuse him of taking tens of thousands
in bribes, including $28,000 from the chief executive of-
cer of Pacic Hospital of Long Beach. He allegedly accepted
money in exchange for supporting legislation that would
delay or limit changes in Californias workers compensa-
tion laws, according to the FBI the afdavit.
Tom Calderon, his brother and former Democrat assembly-
man and now lobbyist, is charged with conspiracy and
seven counts of money laundering in a related case.
Then there is everyones favorite uncle, Democrat state
Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo, who despite
arrest and indictment is still earning his taxpayer paid
salary. Bribery, money laundering, conspiracy, gun running
the list of alleged crimes goes on and includes indict-
ments of 28 more criminals from across the state who
together engaged in a series of wide-ranging criminal plots.
Of course, corruption is not totally a Democrat disease.
My friend, Republican Pat Nolan, was ensnared in
Shrimpscam and who can forget Republican congressman
Duke Cunningham, his yacht and $2.4 million in bribes?
What can be done about Californias culture of corruption?
How can we make the leaders of the Democrat-led state
Senate and Assembly pat attention to the shenanigans
going on around them?
Some say that the answer is to ban all political contribu-
tions. However, that is simply a way forever to silence
those who are marginalized and out of power, while not
addressing the real issues of bribery and extortion.
The answer is in the very structure of our state govern-
ment. Sacramento politicians have their hands in every
aspect of our lives, of our businesses, of our nancial deal-
ings and of our personal property. Every year, they wrap us
in new laws and new regulations, from requiring bartenders
to wear latex gloves to increased gas taxes that have led to
the highest pump prices in the country.
Inuence peddlers, opportunists and rent seekers (econ-
omist-speak for political lobbying to grab more of existing
wealth without creating anything new) see their chance in
this morass of laws and regulations, and they go after it with
gusto.
Thats why complicated and overly burdensome laws like
the California Environmental Quality Act always to seem to
have carve-outs and exemptions. Or, even better, why they
are overruled in certain cases by specic legislation. CEQA
exemptions for the boondoggle of high-speed rail and the
new arena in Sacramento come to mind.
Simply, we must shrink the size and reach of government
so that incentives to game the system, rent seek and bribe
legislators are reduced or altogether eliminated. Areturn to a
constitutionalist form of government will be the stake in
the heart of the culture of corruption, which is engendered
by an expansive, progressive-liberal agenda.
As Founding Father James Madison observed, Among
the evils then of our situation may well be ranked the multi-
plicity of laws they are a nuisance: a nuisance of the most
pestilent kind.
Californias culture of corruption is here to stay, unless we
elect ofcials who will take on big government and return
power and responsibility to citizens, where it belongs.

WASHINGTON More than two-thirds
of the states reported job gains in March, as
hiring has improved for much of the country
during what has been a sluggish but sus-
tained 4 1/2-year recovery.
The Labor Department said Friday that
unemployment rates dropped in 21 states,
rose in 17 and were unchanged in the
remaining 12. Meanwhile, hiring increased
in 34 states and fell in 16.
The unemployment rate varies from as
low as 2.6 percent in North Dakota to as
much as 8.7 percent in Rhode Island. South
Carolina has experienced the sharpest rate
decline over 12 months to 5.5 percent from
8 percent.
The rate nationwide stayed at 6.7 percent
in March for the second straight month.
That national rate stayed at because some-
one was hired for almost every person who
entered the job market last month.
Employers added 192,000 jobs nation-
wide in March, close to the average month-
ly gains of the past two years.
Ohio experienced the largest month-to-
month drop in its unemployment rate: 0.4
percentage points to 6.1 percent. That
steep drop occurred because the state added
12,000 jobs last month, while the total
number of people in its job market fell
11,200 to 5.75 million.
Unemployment rates can fall when peo-
ple leave the job market, as well as when
employers hire.
North Carolina reported the second
largest year-over-year drop in the unem-
ployment rate: a 2.2 percentage point
decrease to 6.3 percent. Part of that decline
came from the loss unemployment benet s
for jobless workers. Because those workers
needed to look for jobs in order to receive
benets, the loss of the jobless aid likely
caused them to give up their hunts and no
longer be counted as unemployed.
Several states continue to lag the gains
made across the country. Unemployment
remains elevated in Nevada (8.5 percent),
Illinois (8.4 percent), California (8.1 per-
cent) and Kentucky (7.9 percent).
Jobless rates fell in 21states last month

NEW YORK Rumors of an Amazon
smartphone reached a fever pitch this week,
with several tech blogs speculating that the
device could be due out this year.
Amazon hasnt conrmed that it has plans
for a smartphone, and it isnt clear what such
a device might offer in the way of distinctive
features. Some unconrmed reports say the
phone could have a 3-D interface and multi-
ple front-facing cameras.
Introducing such a device would be tough
in a crowded market dominated by Apple and
Samsung. Even so, innovations like the
Kindle Fire and Prime membership program
demonstrate that the online retailing giant
has a knack for using its massive size and
marketing budget to capitalize on gaps in the
marketplace.
Heres a purely speculative look at ve fea-
tures an Amazon smartphone could offer.
1. 3- D shoppi ng
A 3-D interface doesnt require special
glasses could have a lot of uses. For example,
when youre shopping online, you could pull
up a 3-D image of sneakers or a jacket and see
all of the features easier, suggests Bill
Menezes, principal research analyst at
Gartner. Another possibility: you could scan
your living room to make a 3-D rendering.
Then, when youre out furniture shopping,
take a picture and digitally insert the product
into the rendering to see if it t s.
You could see Oh thats how that purple
couch looks in the bedroom, I think Ill buy
it, and you avoid buyers remorse, says
Ramon Llamas, research manager of research
rm IDCs mobile phones team.
2. Enhanced games
Amazon is rapidly expanding into the
gaming arena with its Amazon Game Studio
and video game offerings on its new stream-
ing device, Amazon Fire TV.
A phone could be a way to help them
potentially push more on the game front,
says CRTCapital analyst Neil Doshi.
The phones purported 3-D interface could
be a way to offer a more robust gaming expe-
rience.
3. Seaml ess grocery shoppi ng
Amazon has been testing a Wi-Fi wand
called Amazon Dash that simplies barcode
scanning. Such capabilities could be included
in the Amazon phone to improve on current
barcode scanning apps. Combine that with
Amazons same-day grocery service Amazon
Fresh, currently in testing in Seattle, Los
Angeles and San Francisco, and grocery
shopping could be drastically simplied.
Rather than dragging a shopping cart
through aisles or even scrolling through a
list of products online a quick wave of the
phone in your pantry could have all your gro-
ceries at your doorstep within hours.
Its an opportunity to continue to tie users
into the Amazon ecosystem, Doshi says.
4. Free streaming video
IDCs Llamas suggests one of the phones
selling points could be a free ad-supported
version of Amazons current instant Video
service, which is included in the $99 per year
Prime membership. The hypothetical service
could be viewed on the phone, a Kindle or on
Amazons Fire TV but not elsewhere like
Xbox or Roku, he says, which could be a sell-
ing point for the phone.
5. Competi ti ve pri ci ng
Menezes at Gartner, speculates that the
phone could be offered on different price
tiers. One tier could be a one-time payment
for the phone that offers Amazons apps and
services but a limited number of other fea-
tures. A higher price tier could feature a
monthly bill and a phone with more bells
and whistles.
Its difcult to be competitive on price in
the cutthroat phone market. But as Amazon
has shown with its tablets, the company is
willing to deliver high-quality hardware at a
loss in order to undercut competitors like
Apple and put its devices in the hands of peo-
ple who will use them to buy Amazons
goods and services.

abbreviated trading
BEIJING Asian stocks were mostly
higher in trading muted by Good Friday
observance.
Markets in Europe, the U.S. and many
countries in Asia were closed for the holi-
day. Oil trading also was suspended.
Among the markets that traded, Tokyos
Nikkei 225 gained 0.7 percent to
14,516.27 while Chinas Shanghai
Composite Index shed 0.1 percent to
2,097.75 after data earlier this week showed
economic growth slowed to its lowest level
since 2012.
Seouls Kospi added 0.6 percent to
2,004.28 and Taiwans Taiex rose 0.3 per-
cent to 8,966.66. Benchmarks in Malaysia
and Thailand were slightly higher.
On Thursday, global stocks were subdued
after Google and IBM reported weak results,
even though General Electric was opti-
mistic and Goldman Sachs and Morgan
Stanley beat expectations.
On Wall Street, the Standard & Poors 500
rose two points, or 0.1 percent, to close at
1,864.85. The Dow Jones industrial aver-
age, however, fell 16 points, or 0.1 per-
cent, to close at 16,408.54, hurt by the big
drop in IBM.

Terra Novas Lesley Bode drives in a pair of runs with this single in the fth inning, turning a
3-2 Terra Nova decit into a 4-3 win over SouthCity.
Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Terra Nova pitcher Makena Borovina
seems like shes doing some kind of damage
to her throwing wrist the way she shakes off
the pain after she throws a drop ball.
But that is almost certainly not the case.
The reason for the discomfort is the soph-
omore got spiked during a game last week.
She soldiered through the pain to take to the
circle at South City Friday and led the Lady
Tigers to a 4-3 victory.
Today was her best pitching Ive seen
this year, Terra Nova head coach Donna
Tolero said.
The only damage Borovina did was to the
opposition through the opening innings,
as the sophomore right-hander set down the
rst 10 batters she faced en route to a com-
plete-game win.
I was in a groove, Borovina said. I was
just more condent today because I was
watching when we were warming up and we
looked good.
The win didnt come easy for Terra Nova.
The Tigers (3-1 in PAL Ocean, 4-8 overall)
jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the third. But
after South City nally got a base runner, by
virtue of an ineld error with one out in the
fourth, the Warriors sent eight batters to the
plate amid a three-run rally to take a 3-2
lead.
But the Tigers answered right back in the
top of the fth to take the lead for good.
Terra Nova senior Lesley Bode produced the
clutch swing of the bat with a two-out, two-
run single to give the Tigers a 4-3 advan-
tage.
As great as Bodes game-winning frozen
rope to left eld was, her postgame break-
down of the swing was even better.
I let the rst strike go by, Bode said. I
adjusted. [The second pitch] was coming on
the inside. I took my bat, adjusted, put it at
the right angle, put my power into it, I

SAN JOSE Tomas Hertl made an impres-
sive playoff debut for the San Jose Sharks
with a goal and an assist against the same
Los Angeles Kings team that almost ended
his season.
With 52 seconds left in the rst period
Thursday night, Hertl scored his rst career
playoff goal, giving the Sharks a 2-0 lead en
route to a 6-3 victory in
Game 1 of their first-
round series.
Im very excited,
Hertl said Friday. Its my
first game and my first
goal in the playoffs. Im
very happy. Its a good
game. Im very happy,
beating L.A.
Hertl hadnt scored a
goal since Dec. 12
against the Minnesota Wild, one week
before he took a knee-on-knee hit from
Kings captain Dustin Brown, damaging two
ligaments. Hertl underwent surgery on Dec.
31 and missed the next 45 games.
He returned to play in the nal two regular-
season games but Sharks coach Todd
McLellan still wondered how hed respond
in a playoff game after being sidelined for
nearly four months.
Hertl, skating on the third line with center
James Sheppard and forward Tommy
Wingels, quickly answered that question. He
had a huge rst period with four shots and a
goal. He also drew a holding penalty on
Kings defenseman Drew Doughty on a
breakaway, giving San Jose its rst power
play of the game.

LOS ANGELES As much as the Los
Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors
dont like each other, theyre a lot alike in
some ways.
Theres an All-Star point guard on each side,
theyre both young and athletic, and each
franchise is trying to distance itself from an
inglorious past that cast them as after-
thoughts for most of their years in the NBA.
The dislike between the teams goes beyond
the Southern California vs. Northern
California sense of superiority. Theyve tan-
gled while splitting their four games this sea-
son, most famously on Christmas, when
Blake Grifn was elbowed by Warriors forward
Draymond Green.
In March, Grifn and Warriors backup center
Jermaine ONeal squabbled in a Clippers vic-
tory and it carried over after the game.
I dont have Jermaines number so I dont
really talk to him, Grifn said Friday. I dont
know if theres a lingering issue or not.
With both teams having been down so long
and now competing for a title, Clippers for-
ward Matt Barnes said theres going to be
some hostility and animosity and hatred.
Itll be an entertaining series just because
how the regular season went, Warriors star
Stephen Curry said. Youve got to be pre-
pared for anything.
Some of the Clippers, including Grifn and
Barnes, got into a playoff mindset by watch-
ing Bad Boys, an ESPN documentary about
the Detroit Pistons teams of the 1980s and
90s that premiered on Thursday.
Barnes said he wishes todays players could
be as physical as the Pistons. He joked that if
he fouled as hard as Isiah Thomas did back in
the day, hed be tossed out of the NBAand need
to nd a new job.
Warriors guard Klay Thompson added some
heat to the re this week when he said Grifn
opped a lot in games. Grifn is averaging

One noteworthy story coming out of
Chicago other than the Cubs being off to
one of the worst starts in baseball is the
emergence of Conor Gillaspie at the hot cor-
ner for the White Sox.
The former Giants prospect was traded to
the White Sox prior to the 2013 season as
something of a clerical move, a result of
Gillaspie signing a major league contract as a
supplemental rst-round draft pick out of
Wichita State in 2009. In the long run, the
contract caused his minor-league options to
expire a year earlier than they would have with
a standard minor-league deal.
So, instead of optioning Gillaspie to the
minors and exposing him to waivers prior to
last season, the Giants dealt him for minor-
league pitcher Jeff Soptic.
Gillaspie broke camp with the White Sox
last season and soldiered through an up-and-
down season. The left-handed hitting third
baseman tallied a subpar .245 batting average
but clubbed 13 home runs, while in the eld
committing 16 errors in 107 games.
But this season, while just three weeks in,
has been a different story.
Gillaspie got out of the gate with an 11-
game hitting streak to start the year and has
hit safely in 12 of 13 games in which hes
played. He entered play Friday with a .314
average (16 for 51) and has anchored third
base with some surprisingly steady defense.
Conor is a solid guy, White Sox pitcher
Erik Johnson said. Hes hitting [No. 3 or No.
4] in our lineup every game and hes playing
some really great defense at the hot corner.
Gillaspie may be remembered best by
Giants fans for his rst major league home
run, an inside-the-park homer in September
2011 at AT&T Park. More notably though,
Gillaspie was the third baseman on the 2009
San Jose Giants squad that featured, among
others who would go on to play in the big
leagues, Madison Bumgarner, Brandon
Crawford and Buster Posey.
With the bat, Gillaspie set out to be the pic-
ture of consistency throughout his minor-
league career. In 2009, he hit .286 and would
go on to tab a comparable .287 career mark. In
the eld though, he committed 27 errors in
2009 alone, a result of good range and a great
arm, but plagued by inconsistency with his
glove work and throwing accuracy.
This year, however, Gillaspie has managed
to impress.
Whats great about Conor is ever since the
rst day of spring training, he was ready to
go, Johnson said. I could really tell when he
came in that he wanted to play. He had a good
offseason. He came in prepared. Hes swing-
ing that bat really well right now and I
enjoy having him in my corner.
Bay Area beginnings blossoming in Chicago
USA TODAY SPORTS
Conor Gillaspie, who started his career with the Giants before being traded at the start of the
2013 season, has found a home with the Chicago White Sox. He opened this season with an
11-game hitting streak.

Despite having won 32 of its last 33
games, including the last six in a row, the
CSM softball team found itself looking up
at not just one, but now two teams ahead of
the Bulldogs in the rankings.
CSM won its sixth game in a row
Thursday since an April 2 loss to San Jose
City College by pounding rival Ohlone 12-
0 in a game halted after ve innings because
of the eight-run mercy rule.
Pitcher Ashlynn Neal tossed a one-hitter
for CSM (16-1 Coast Conference, 36-2
overall) against the second-place
Renegades. Ohlone cant catch the
Bulldogs, however, who clinched the Coast
Conference title earlier this month.
Offensively, the Bulldogs had only one
extra-base hit a Talisa Fiame two-run
triple but had six players with two hits:
Raquel Martinez, Skania Lemus, Fiame,
Melina Rodriguez, Brooke Ramsey, Natalie
Saucedo and Taylor Cruse.
Ramsey drove in three runs, while Lemus,
Fiame, Rodriguez and Cruse all drove in a
pair of runs for CSM, while Lemus scored
four runs.
During this current run, the Bulldogs have
outscored their opponents 58-1, including
an 11-1 win over then-No. 10 ranked
Sacramento City.
CSM wraps up regular-season play
against City College of San Francisco
Tuesday prior to hosting a state playoff
opening-round series the rst weekend of
May.
Despite only two losses and winning
streaks of 26 and six games, the Bulldogs
dropped in the Northern California and state
rankings that came out Thursday. Solano
College leapfrogged the Bulldogs in the
Northern California rankings, knocking
them out of the top spot for the rst time
this season. Solano has won 25 games in a
row and is the Bay Valley Conference cham-
pion. Solano is undefeated in conference
and 32-2 overall.
The switch atop the Nor Cal rankings
means CSM also slipped a spot in the state
rankings, dropping to third with Solano
moving into the No. 2 spot.
Palomar College (27-4) remains the
states top-ranked team for the second week
in a row.

MIAMI Before the season started, a
poll suggested that the Miami Heat were the
overwhelming favorite to win the NBAtitle,
collecting a whopping 76 percent of ballots
cast.
The voters werent some know-nothings,
either.
No, this was a polling of NBA general
managers.
Things seem quite a bit different now. The
Heat dont seem like locks for a third
straight title anymore. San Antonio and
Indiana are top seeds. Brooklyn, Chicago,
the Los Angeles Clippers, Oklahoma City,
Golden State, Houston, Portland and the
Heat all gure to have a legitimate chance at
being the club to hoist the Larry OBrien
Trophy in a couple of months.
Usually, the NBA playoffs arent so wide
open. Things might change over the next
couple of months.
There are 16 teams that have a chance to
win it, said Oklahoma City coach Scott
Brooks, whose team is seeded No. 2 in the
West. If youre in the playoffs, you have a
chance. There are some good teams. Any
team can beat each other. The West is deep.
There are two teams that are really good that
didnt make it and had great years. Its de-
nitely open. Theres a lot of good basket-
ball teams that are ghting for the champi-
onship.
For as good as San Antonio and Indiana
were all year well, for most of the year in
Indianas case, before the Pacers faltered
down the stretch its never a certainty
that the No. 1 seeds reach the NBA Finals.
Its happened that way only 11 times in the
last 35 years.
Then again, the last time that there wasnt
either a No. 1 or a No. 2 in the title series
was 1978. So while upsets can happen, its
not all that common to see bracket craziness
akin to a No. 7 and No. 8 seeds
Connecticut and Kentucky playing for the
NCAAtitle earlier this month happening
in the same NBAplayoff season.
It is going to be tremendous from a fans
standpoint, watching, Golden State coach
Mark Jackson said. It going to be a lot of
fun.
Brooklyns Jason Kidd has plenty of
postseason experience as a player. He
believes the NBA championship is up for
grabs, but also probably knows history
doesnt favor his sixth-seeded club.
Since 1979, only ve teams seeded No. 4
or lower in their conference have reached the
nals. But Kidd sees reason for hope.
Its always wide open, said Kidd, the
rst-year coach of the Nets a veteran-
laden team put together to win a title this
season. You guys sometimes limit it to just
two teams but guys that are playing on a
daily basis in the Western Conference and
Basketball playoffs
look to be wide open

SAN DIEGO Tyson Ross held
the San Francisco Giants to four
hits and struck out nine in eight
scoreless innings, and the San
Diego Padres won 2-1 Friday night
to hand Matt Cain his third straight
loss.
Ross (2-2) beat Cain ve days
after topping AL Cy Young Award
winner Max Scherzer and the Detroit
Tigers. The right-hander was rarely
in trouble, despite allowing a lead-
off double to Angel Pagan. Ross
then retired the next eight batters.
He walked one.
Pablo Sandoval was the only
Giants runner to reach third base,
after hitting a single leading off the
seventh and advancing on a walk
and a double play. He was stranded
when Ross got Brandon Crawford to
line to shortstop.
Cain (0-3) allowed four hits and
one unearned run in seven innings

out eight and
walking two.
The Giants
have played eight
straight games
decided by one
run, their most
since another
streak of eight in
a row in August
1910, according to STATS.
Chris Denora tripled to right-
center with one out in the rst and
scored on a passed ball by Hector
Sanchez, who couldnt hold onto
ball four to Jedd Gyorko.
Yasmani Grandal, pinch-hitting
for Ross in the eighth, homered off
Juan Gutierrez, his rst.
Huston Street got his sixth save
in six chances, but not before
allowing Brandon Belts homer to
right with one out in the ninth, his
sixth. Street walked Hunter Pence
with two outs before striking out
Sanchez.

Miracle on Ice gold medal to be auctioned
MINNEAPOLIS One of the Olympic gold medals earned
after the famed Miracle on Ice hockey game in 1980 will be
auctioned beginning next week.
The Minnesota collegiate hockey player who helped Team
USAbeat the Soviets on the way to the gold, Mark Pavelich,
is selling his medal through Dallas-based Heritage Auctions.
Online and email bidding opens April 25.
Heritage sports director Chris Ivy said Pavelich, 56, is not
in any nancial distress.
Bidding for Pavelichs medal will start at $62,500, Ivy told
the Star Tribune, but expects a lot of spirit bidding. One
other gold medal from the team has been auctioned when Mark
Wells sold his to a private buyer for $40,000. The buyer auc-
tioned it in 2010 for about $310,000.
Pavelich, originally from Eveleth, skated for the UMD
Bulldogs in college. His NHL career included stints with the
New York Rangers, the Minnesota North Stars and nally the
San Jose Sharks in the 1991-1992 season.

OAKLAND Alberto Callaspo hit a
three-run homer and the Oakland Athletics
went deep four times to back Sonny Grays
strong pitching Friday night in an 11-3 rout
of the Houston Astros.
Josh Reddick and Coco Crisp each added a
two-run shot for Oakland. Yoenis Cespedes
hit a solo homer in the second inning to fol-
low up his two-run single in the rst against
Jarred Cosart (1-2).
Cespedes single came one batter before
Callaspo connected for his second home run
of the season. John Jaso drew Cosarts
fourth walk of the first inning before
Reddick hit his rst homer with his own
towering drive to right eld.
That chased Cosart, who retired only one
batter before being replaced by Paul
Clemens.
Gray (3-0) gave up more than one earned
run for the rst time this season. He allowed
RBI singles to Dexter Fowler and George
Springer in the fifth along with Chris
Carters sacrice y before Crisp homered
in the bottom half.
Oakland won its ninth in 11 games after
going 7-2 on the clubs
rst road trip. The As had
their four-game winning
streak snapped
Wednesday at the Angels,
but are the only team in
the majors yet to lose
back-to-back games.
Houston manager Bo
Porter left the dugout in
the third to yell at Jed Lowrie, apparently
upset that the No. 2 hitter attempted to bunt
with his team ahead 7-0 in his second plate
appearance of the rst inning.
Lowrie ied out in the third after two
inside pitches.
Cosart received a mound visit in the rst
after consecutive one-out walks to Josh
Donaldson and Brandon Moss loaded the
bases. After a high pitch near Cespedes
head, the Cuban slugger lined a single into
center eld.
Cosarts quick exit ended a solid stretch in
which Astros starters posted a 3.00 ERA
over the previous seven games.
Gray allowed nine hits, struck out four and
walked two in six innings as the As handed
Houston its fth straight loss and sixth in
seven games.
Springer went 2 for 5 while batting
cleanup for the rst time, two days after
making his major league debut. Porter said
he would have preferred to avoid putting the
prized prospect in that position in his third
game, but the manager wanted to shake up
the lineup to get the Astros going.
Oaklands eight runs in the first two
innings were more than the seven Houston
totaled in its previous four.
Astros left elder Alex Presley was a late
scratch with flu-like symptoms and was
replaced by L.J. Hoes.
NOTES: Reddick homered for the rst
time in 87 at-bats since Sept. 15. It was his
fth hit of the year. ... As LHP Scott Kazmir
(2-0) is set to start Saturday after experienc-
ing arm trouble in his last outing. ...
Springer got his rst stolen base. ... The
Astros went 3-7 at the Coliseum last season
and 4-15 overall against the As. ... Oakland
pitcher A.J. Grifn, sidelined since the start
of the season with an elbow injury, is yet to
begin a throwing program and manager Bob
Melvin isnt sure when that will happen. ...
Gray is 5-1 in nine career games against AL
West teams.

Where has the Easter Bunny hidden all those Homes!
John King has been serving home sellers and buyers on The Peninsula and Silicon Valley for almost 30 years.
Top 1% of Keller Williams agents.
As we enter into the heart of the Spring market, the inventory of
available homes remains very low. Even though last week the inventory
practically doubled lrom the week belore, inventory is still 12 ol what we
usually see at this time ol year.
Many homes did come on last week in anticipation ol the Easter
weekend and spring break and there are additional homes that have come
on lor this Easter weekend. Yet,
the demand remains very high and
there are still multiple ollers and

rotated my hips, picked up my back foot and
sent it right by the third baseman.
Borovina and the Terra Nova defense did
the rest, but not without plenty of drama
over the nal three innings.
In the fth, the Warriors got their leadoff
hitter on when Clarissa Fong was hit by
pitch. Claudia Flores reached on a elders
choice with Fong getting thrown out at sec-
ond. Emily Cotla followed with a liner back
to Borovina, who nabbed it and threw
behind the runner at rst for an inning-end-
ing double play.
In the sixth, Leanna Cruz and Gina Pozzi
reached base to start the inning. But with no
outs and two runners in scoring position,
Borovina induced two straight pop outs
before Alex Shiffer hit a towering y out to
right, stranding runners on second and third
to end the inning.
In the seventh, South City junior Kassidy
Lanchinebre led off with a single. But the
Tigers promptly turned their second double
play of the afternoon to clear the bases.
Then after back-to-back singles by Flores
and Cotla, Terra Nova senior shortstop
Janelle DeJong elded a sharp grounder to
end it on a force out at third.
The last two innings we had our chances
and just couldnt get a key hit, South City
head coach Manny Cotla said.
The fourth-year coach was still upbeat fol-
lowing the loss though.
Im still proud and happy with this
game, Cotla said. It showed that were
still right there. I told [my team] not to feel
down. Were still in this and its early in the
season.
With the win, Terra Nova leapfrogs South
City (4-2, 7-5) in the Peninsula Athletic
League Ocean Division standings. The
Tigers are now tied for rst place with San
Mateo, as the Bearcats downed El Camino
10-0 Friday.
Sister duo setting table
Makena Borovina had a big day at the
plate as well, going 2 for 3 while plating
the Tigers rst run in the second inning.
Terra Novas No. 2 hitter slammed a one-out
triple to center and later scored on an RBI
single by Gabby Spencer-Crook.
The triple was Makena Borovinas rst of
the year. Her younger sister, freshman Maia
Borovina, is actually the triples machine in
the family though, as the Tigers leadoff hit-
ter has six three-baggers this season.
With the way the younger Borovina has
performed, its strange to think she was sur-
prised at making the varsity squad heading
into the season.
I was really happy of course and I was
kind of shocked, Maia said.
The older Borovina has had her ups-and-
downs in the pitching circle since herself
making the varsity squad as a freshman.
This year she has split starting-pitching
duties with fellow sophomore Spencer-
Krook.
After taking a tough loss to San Mateo in
a relief appearance Wednesday, Makena
Borovina impressed Friday in South City
the city where her father grew up and where
her grandparents currently reside.
In the rst few innings she had us good,
Cotla said. The pitcher did a great job. We
were off-balance. We really didnt hit the
ball.
Later in the game we started getting
better hits. It just seemed like we couldnt
get that key hit with people on base.
That was true of both teams. South City
stranded six runners in the game while Terra
Nova stranded nine.

the Eastern Conference feel like theyve got
a chance.
This year, that doesnt just seem like
coach speak.
Take the East. On paper, the biggest mis-
match is No. 1 Indiana against No. 8
Atlanta, especially because the Hawks are
the only sub-.500 team in the playoffs. And
just a couple weeks ago, the Hawks went to
Indianapolis and absolutely embarrassed
the Pacers, running out to a 32-point half-
time lead in one of the more stunning games
of the entire NBAseason.
Theres some good teams out there,
Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. Every team
in the playoffs have given us some prob-
lems. Weve been able to win against them
as well. But its certainly shaped out to be a
good conference.
No. 5 Washington won the season series
over No. 4 Chicago. Out West, the third-
seeded Clippers and sixth-seeded Golden
State split four meetings. Memphis ousted
Oklahoma City a year ago and those clubs
meet in the rst round. And San Antonios
quest to avenge last years loss in the NBA
Finals starts against Dallas the last team
to beat Miami in a seven-game series, win-
ning the title in 2011.
So there are some good stories, and
theres intrigue with every first-round
series.
That doesnt mean everyone in the league
thinks itll be a year laden with surprises.
Philadelphia coach Brett Brown put it sim-
ply to him, the game changes in the
playoffs, period.
The regular season and the playoffs are
like two different sports, Brown said. If
you put me in a bubble and you drag me out
in May, I can say this is different than the
game Im seeing in November. Its just
entirely different.
Thats why Brown, a former Spurs assis-
tant, thinks theres a very small number of
teams capable of winning it all.

Its crazy the way he was able to recover
so quick, and now hes had a huge impact for
us in the playoffs, said fellow Sharks rook-
ie Matt Nieto. Theres no doubt in my mind
that hell continue to score throughout the
playoffs. Its a huge boost for us.
At this point, the Sharks shouldnt be sur-

two goals in his second NHL game against

nights later, Hertl scored four goals against

Hertl had 15 goals and 10 assists in his

that for sure.

Johnson settles into rotation
Johnson, the former Cal ace who took the
ball in Game 1 of 2011 College World Series,
broke camp this season with the White Sox for
the rst time in his career. After posting a 3-2
record in 2013 as a late-season call-up, the
right-hander scufed through his rst two starts
this season, getting hit hard at Kansas City and
Colorado to the tune of a 9.58 ERA.
He turned it around on Jackie Robinson Day,
as Johnson was solid in his rst home start of
the year April 15, working 6 2/3 innings in tak-
ing a no-decision in an eventual 2-1 White Sox
win over Boston.
Johnson locked up with former White Sox
right-hander turned Red Sox hurler Jake Peavy.
The result was a solid pitchers duel. The two
never played together in Chicago, but worked
together during Johnsons rst big-league
spring training camp last season.
[Peavy is] a workhorse, Johnson said.
Hes a true competitor. Hes a (2007) Cy Young
Award winner. Hes a great pitcher. And the big
thing I learned from him is he always preached
fastball command, just like Greg Maddux
always preached fastball command. Thats your
base. If youre going to build a house, thats
your foundation. Thats your strongest part of
the house. Its always something you can go
back to.
Another player Johnson enjoys having in his
corner is fellow Cal alumnus Marcus Semien.
The two both made the opening-day roster this
season for the rst time in their respective
careers.
Semien was actually the opening-day third
baseman for the White Sox. But with the emer-
gence of Gillaspie, along with injuries to
Gordon Beckham and Jeff Keppinger, the versa-
tility of Semien has allowed him to move over
to second base.
I really enjoy Marcus being out there,
Johnson said. Its like the old days back in
Berkeley. I always enjoy him out in the eld
playing defense behind me. And hes very clutch
for us and I know hes one of those guys who
goes out and works on getting better each day.
Johnson and Semien were the rst two play-
ers from the Cinderella Cal team to reach the big
leagues. They actually debuted on the same day
on Sept. 4 at Yankees Stadium. They are two of
10 players from the 2011 Golden Bears team
playing in pro ball. Those currently in the
minor leagues are second baseman Tony Renda
(Nationals), pitcher Dixon Anderson
(Nationals), pitcher Matt Flemer (Rockies),
pitcher Joey Donorfrio (Cardinals), outelder
Danny Oh (Yankees), third baseman Mitch
Delno (Giants), catcher Andrew Knapp
(Phillies) and catcher Chadd Krist (Cubs).

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BARCELONA, Spain Barring a drastic
turn of fortune, Barcelona is on the brink of
finishing its worst season since former
coach Pep Guardiola molded it into one of
the most successful teams to play soccer.
Barcelonas stinging 2-1 loss to Real
Madrid in the Copa del Rey nal Wednesday
completed an eight-day span that can best
be described as a debacle for the Catalan
club.
Sports daily Sport summed it up with the
headline: This winning era is over, let the
new one begin!
Barcelona hadnt lost three games in a row
since the 2002-03 season, and a campaign
that promised to bring home at least one
piece of major silverware is close to being
its rst without an important trophy since
Guardiola took over in 2008.
Xavi Hernandez said he had heard
Barcelona being written off for years now,
but acknowledged one day the end would
have to come.
The sense of crisis at Camp Nou is not just
based on the trio of defeats that left it out of
the Champions League seminals for the
rst time in seven seasons, sitting third in
the Spanish league, and cost it the cup tro-
phy to its ercest rival.
Equally as worrying is forward Lionel
Messis erratic form after a year riddled with
injuries.
Once as reliable as he was electric, Messi
went from scoring a hat trick at Madrid last
month to a string of sub-par performances
during which he spent long periods looking
uninterested and even
lethargic.
As Messi goes, so does
the team, which no
longer presses oppo-
nents for long stretches
to set up its passing
attack.
Even though
Barcelonas slide began
last season with its 7-0
loss to Bayern Munich over two legs in the
Champions League, it has reached new lows
with this series of stumbles across all three
competitions in a little over a week.
Coach Gerardo Martino looks certain to
be replaced this summer, unless both
Spanish leader Atletico Madrid and Real
Madrid drop points and Barcelona can over-
take them with ve rounds to go in the
league.
The first-year Argentine manager was
already under heavy pressure for his lineup
choices before the Copa del Rey loss.
After the result against Madrid, Martino
appeared to claim he was hamstrung by
Barcelonas control style perfected by
Guardiola and his assistant-turned-successor
Tito Vilanova.
Barca has a way of playing that is unique
and not very modiable, no long balls for-
ward, no big striker, Martino said.
Normally it creates scoring chances, but
when you arent precise it is tough to move
the ball inside tight spaces. (The problem)
is a lack of precision in the last 20 meters.
For me, this is not a question of motiva-
tion.
The rapid demise of Barcelonas title
hopes comes amid a season full of uncharac-
teristic trouble.
First it was Messis tax problems, then
came his leg injuries. That was followed by
a court investigation into the signing of
Neymar, which led to Sandro Rosells resig-
nation as president.
This month, FIFA said it was banning
Barcelona from signing new players for one
season due to its breaching of regulations
regarding the signing of youth players.
Barcelona has proven capable of a quick
turnaround. It is often overlooked that the
golden age established by Guardiola and
the teams 14 of a possible 19 titles in four
seasons was preceded by Frank Rijkaards
revival of the team with Ronaldinho.
Messi is still in his prime, Neymar has
shown flashes of greatness, and Andres
Iniesta and Sergio Busquets continue to play
well.
But it will need to replace veteran defend-
er Carles Puyol and goalkeeper Victor
Valdes, and the FIFA transfer ban means it
must rely solely on its productive soccer
academy to rejuvenate its squad.
Martino bestowed his condence in the
group of players he will likely leave
behind.
This is a team, (and) when you analyze it
and look at the ages of its players, you see
it has a lot left in it, Martino said. It can
get better results than those of this year.

24.1 points and shooting 53 per-
cent.
If hes opping, keep doing it
because those numbers look awful
good to me, so op on, rst-year
Clippers coach Doc Rivers said.
Blakes kicking a lot of peoples
butt and they need something to say
about him.
Here are ve things to watch for as
the best-of-seven series opens
Saturday at Staples Center:
Curry vs. Paul
Curry is the best pure shooter in
the NBA. Chris Paul is a wily veter-
an who can do it all, whether its
scoring or getting the ball inside to
the Clippers big men. Currys dead-
aim will test Pauls defense. Im
looking forward to the challenge,
Curry said.
No Bogut
Warriors center Andrew Bogut is
out indenitely with a broken rib,
leaving ONeal to start in his place.
The 35-year-old veteran averaged
7.9 points and 5.5 rebounds when
healthy this season. Ive been
through a lot of battles in the play-
off eld and I know how intense it is
and I have great experience in that,
ONeal said. Defensively, theyll
need all ve starters to block shots,
take charges and grab rebounds.
Well be able to do some different
things, be a little quicker and switch
a lot more, but well denitely miss
him, Curry said.
Defense
Both teams gaudy offensive num-
bers make it easy to overlook
defense. The Warriors and the
Clippers each held opponents to
about 44 percent shooting, among
the top in the league.
Trash talk
Can Grifn keep his cool when he
gets fouled hard? He racked up the
maximum 16 technical fouls during
the regular season. Paul drew his share
of techs, too. Theres a line that you
dont want to cross, Rivers said.
For the most part weve been on the
right side of it. You try to regulate it
and gure out how far you can go with
it. The key is allowing both teams to
play.
3-point shooting
Both teams love to shoot the 3. Led
by Curry and Thompson, the Warriors
average 38 percent from long-range;
the Clippers 35 percent. Los Angeles
knows it has to limit Golden States
offensive rebounds or else the
Warriors will kick the ball out for a 3.
Thats one of the things they really
kill teams with, Grifn said.
Clippers starting guard J.J. Redick is
a threat from long-range, but hes
been bothered by a back injury and
its uncertain how many minutes he
can play effectively. Jamal Crawford,
the Clippers 3-point shooter off the
bench, is working to regain his
rhythm after missing several games
with a tendon injury.

DES MOINES, Iowa One of the
more remarkable aspects of
Connecticuts national title run was
that potential star Rodney Purvis
could only watch his Huskies team-
mates because of NCAArules forcing
transfers to sit out a year.
Hes like a Ferrari sitting in the
garage that I cant drive, UConn
coach Kevin Ollie said.
Ollie isnt the only coach watch-
ing their rosters ll up with players
who have already made at least one
stop at another college.
A recent surge in transfers has
turned the once-sleepy late signing
period, which this year started
Wednesday and runs through May 21,
into a monthlong frenzy that has
changed college basketball.
According to STATS, the number of
players who have appeared in a game
for more than one Division I school
has nearly tripled over the past
decade, from 122 in 2004-05 to 325
or one for nearly every school in
the country in 2013-14.
It used to be that there was a stig-
ma of some type attached to schools
that recruited outside of the high
school ranks, San Diego State
coach Steve Fisher said. You were
not considered able to compete with
the blue bloods. Well, now the blue
bloods recruit transfers, They take
one-and-dones. They take guys who
have graduated and have one year
left.
The result is that the college hoops
transfer market has exploded. For
recent grads looking for one last shot
at the Final Four, disgruntled players
looking for more minutes and junior
college stars hoping to land a high-
major scholarship, the late signing
period offers hope for players and
their new schools.
Research by the NCAAshows that
the number of transfers from two-
year/junior college schools into
Division I has remained steady over
the last 10 years or so, hovering
between roughly 15 percent and 17
percent of all Division I players.
The real movement, though, is
within Division I.
According to STATS, the number of
transfers from one Division I school
to another jumped from 259 to 325
from 2012-13 to 2013-14 alone.
That number could go much higher
once this years transfers are tallied.
Alot of times kids arent transfer-
ring or leaving because of the envi-
ronment theyre in, Florida coach
Billy Donovan said. It generally
comes down to one thing, and a lot of
times its playing time. Kids now
want that instantaneous success.
College transfer numbers are up
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWYORK Even as the NBAprepares for a draft that could
be headlined by freshmen, Commissioner Adam Silver remains
committed to keeping them in college.
So much so that NCAAPresident Mark Emmert was invited to
discuss his involvement with owners.
Silver is moving cautiously on potential changes to areas
such as the lottery format and playoff structure, but makes it
clear that raising the draft age limit to abolish the so-called
one and done is one of his priorities.
Freshmen Andrew Wiggins of Kansas and Jabari Parker of
Duke are expected to be top-ve picks in June, but Silver
believes teams are taking those players young because of the
system in place, not because its their preference.
The fact that our teams would draft these players if they were
coming out of high school as they used to, or one year out of
college, I think doesnt mean change isnt necessary, Silver
said Friday.
The age limit requiring American players to be 19 and a year
out of high school was implemented in 2005, creating a system
where players would simply go to college for a year and then
declare for the draft. Silver and predecessor David Stern have
long spoken about the desire to increase the limit to 20. But no
change, which would have to be discussed with the union, was
made during the last round of collective bargaining in 2011.
The sides havent been able to have much serious discussion
since then. The union has been without an executive director
since ousting Billy Hunter 14 months ago, but Silvers desire
for change remains.
Were ready to go, Silver said. Weve been thinking about
this issue for a long time.
Silver said a change was unlikely for next season, and a tran-
sition period would be necessary whenever one was made. In
the meantime, he wants the NCAA part of the discussion, so
Emmert addressed owners during the two-day meetings.
NBA commish wants
an age limit change

I
suspect local orists have been selling
a large number of owers to nervous
and excited high school students over
the last few weeks. Bouquets for creative ask-
ings, dainty corsages for ladies and impossi-
ble-to-pin but always elegant boutonnieres
for gentlemen prom season is in full
bloom.
But while prom has
been dancing through the
thoughts of my peers for
the last few weeks, it has
been on my mind since
the beginning of this
school year. As a member
of Aragons senior class
student council, I was part
of the group that had the
responsibility of planning this years
Casino Royale-themed prom, which was held
at the San Francisco Design Center Friday,
April 11.
Prom short for promenade actually
originated more than a century ago as a type
of co-ed banquet held for graduating college
seniors. But following World War II and the
rise of teenage culture, prom became a main-
stay at high schools during the end of the
school year.
Going through the prom-planning process
most of which occurred over the last sev-
eral weeks has allowed me to reect on
proms place in the lives of American
teenagers. While my experience was
undoubtedly very different from those who
attended their proms several decades or years
ago, a few characteristics remain very much
the same. These similarities, however
insignicant, help me understand why prom
remains such a classic tradition in our cul-
ture.
Since the beginning, prom has been about
fashion, but what you count as stylish for
prom may depend on when you were a
teenager.
At my prom, I found that the majority of
gentlemen wore classic, black tuxedos. This
left me shocked by the photos of my dads

Married only 20 minutes, a groom leaves
his bride to launch his plan to overthrow the
British government.
Thus Jeffrey Hatchers Smash takes the
Dragon Theatre audience through a witty
satire of romance, education, socialism and
lofty but misguided goals.
Hatcher based this two-act play on 1883s
The Unsocial Socialist, the last novel
George Bernard Shaw wrote before starting to
write plays.
Hence Shaw acionados will recognize
themes and character types that gure into his
plays.
In Smash, the time is moved up to spring
1910. The groom is Sidney Trefusis (William
J. Brown III), a rich socialist, while his
beloved bride is Henrietta Jansenius (Katie
Rose Krueger), daughter of a wealthy man.
Disguising himself as a laborer he calls
Mengels, Sidney goes to Alton College for
women. Since its students are being groomed
to become the wives of Englands most pow-
erful men, Sidney plans to indoctrinate them
with the ideals of socialism, which they will
pass on to their husbands-to-be to begin a
revolution.
Complicating matters, one of the students,
the spunky, rebellious Agatha Wylie (Sarah
Benjamin), falls in love with him. Their main
nemesis is Altons headmistress, the formida-
ble Miss Wilson (Shelley Lynn Johnson).
Another complication arises when
Henrietta and her father, Mr. Jansenius (Paul
Stout), an Alton trustee and Agathas godfa-
ther, arrive for Founders Day.
Henrietta pretends not to recognize Sidney,
but shes instrumental in bringing about his

Well totally forgive you if, as Fading
Gigolo begins, youre mistakenly con-
vinced youre watching a Woody Allen
movie. There are those familiar white-on-
black titles, the classy jazz on the sound-
track, and Allens unmistakable voice, too,
setting the scene.
And there are further similarities: The
streets of New York look beautiful (not just
Manhattan were talking Brooklyn.) The
cinematography is meticulous. There are
some fabulous apartments. And theres that
multi-talented cast of actors youd never
think of together: Sharon Stone and Soa
Vergara? Vanessa Paradis and Liev
Schreiber?
But Fading Gigolo isnt a Woody Allen
lm its a John Turturro lm, with a rare
acting-only appearance by Allen. And its a
credit to Turturro who writes, directs and
stars that despite all these initial paral-
lels, it ends up feeling like his movie,
going in directions you dont expect.
Thats both a compliment and a criticism.
The movie feels like several lms com-
bined. On one level, its slapstick comedy,
particularly when Allen rips off those one-
liners. On another, its a much deeper medi-
tation on loneliness and the need for con-
nection. Oh, and on the strictures of reli-
gion, too. The various tones dont always
mesh harmoniously.
But well take messy and interesting over
neat and uninteresting any day especial-
ly when a movie has as much heart as this.
The plot is unabashedly preposterous.

rare book shop. As hes sadly packing to
close down, he mentions to his friend
Fioravante (Turturro), a quiet book-lover
and part-time orist, that his dermatologist
told him shes looking for a man to partici-
pate in a minage a trois with her and her best
friend. Does Murray have any suggestions?
If you think thats unlikely that your
dermatologist would ask you to set up a
threesome lets add that the dermatolo-
gist is Sharon Stone, an actress who gets
even better-looking as she ages. And her
friend? Soa Vergara. And theyre offering a
cool thousand.
Murray thinks Fioravantes perfect for the
job. Fioravante asks Murray if hes on
drugs. Apart from Zoloft, no, Murray
says. Fioravante: Im not a beautiful man.
Murray: Youre disgusting in a very pos-
itive way.
For economic reasons, Fioravante gives
in, and in his rst meeting with the bomb-
shell doctor, sweeps her off her feet, show-
ing you men out there (women already know
this) that you dont need to be good-look-
ing to be sexy just condent, thoughtful
and truly interested in what a woman has to
say.
Suddenly, a business is born. Murray is
the pimp. Fioravante is the ho. And
everyones pretty happy.
Then the movie shifts gears. Murray takes
the children he looks after (too complicated
to explain here) to get their hair de-loused
by a Hasidic Jewish woman in
Williamsburg, Avigal (a surprisingly won-
derful Paradis), the young widow of a much
older rabbi. Her religion dictates that her
hair must be covered and her skin, too, from
neck to knees.
And yet Murray thinks she could be a good
client for Fioravante. Inappropriate as this
sounds, Fioravante handles the situation
with grace. Somehow the two, when they
meet, ll a crucial need in each others lives.
Their scenes together are quite touching,
particularly a slow lunch in which Avigal
shows Fioravante how to debone a sh.
Their budding relationship, though, caus-
es angst for Dovi (Schreiber, also excel-
lent), a Hasidic man who secretly pines for
Avigal. Asuspicious type, he also serves on
a neighborhood auxiliary police force,
which makes it easy for him to spy on
Avigal.
All of which gets Murray into some real
trouble. And here the lm veers quickly back
into slapstick mode. For a bit, anyway. It
ends on a bittersweet but appealing note.
And then you realize that youve been thor-
oughly moved, by a movie about a morose
orist-gigolo and his wise-cracking book-
dealer pimp.
Thats whats fun about the movies, isnt
it?
Fading Gigolo, a Millennium
Entertainment release, is rated R by the
Motion Picture Association of America for
some sexual content, language and brief
nudity. Running time: 90 minutes. Three

MID-CENTURY HOMES OPEN FOR VIEWIN SAN
MATEO. Between 1950 and 1974, Joseph Eichler became
one of the nations most inuential homebuilders, using a
Modernist style inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and now
known as California Modern. Eichler built more than
11,000 homes in California. His largest development was
The Highlands, more than 700 houses built between 1956
and 1964 in the hills west of the city of San Mateo. Arare
opportunity to view 10 original and remodeled Highlands
Eichler houses is offered on Saturday, May 3 and Sunday,
May 4 as part of a fundraiser for the Highlands Elementary
School PTA.
Highlands Eichler Home Tour Chair Linda Siguenza said:
Eichlers. You cant not have an opinion on them. For some
of us, like myself, we grew up in these homes, mostly orig-
inal. To the coolness factor, we were largely oblivious, but
enjoyed them through childrens eyes. Cuddling up to the
spot on oor where the radiant was warmest on a Saturday
morning. Learning how to quietly manipulate the sticky
sliding kitchen cabinets for a stealth cookie snack with deft
skill. Playing in the bountiful surrounding open space like
we were explorers in a faraway land, all the while under the
protective eyes of our parents through walls of glass. These
homes, founded from fresh inspiration, continue to inspire.
These houses look great from the street, but the real magic
is past the front door and under the beams. Panes of glass
and architect designed spaces bring the outside in and the
inside out, a feel and a look that denes California living.
A single day $55 tour ticket includes a comprehensive
tour booklet and allows one person into all of the featured
homes and event activities. Acatered lunch may be added for
$12. Ticketholders can meet and shop from nine mid-centu-
ry modern inspired artists within the homes. Artists include
Steve Cambronne from Palm Springs, Victoria Kloch,
Atomic Mobile by Debra Ann, Gretchen Michaels, Mae
Perlson, JW Pippen, Chris Ranes, Michael Murphy and
Jeffery Crussell. Contractors and architects behind the
remodel work will also be on site. Free showings of the lm
"People in Glass Houses: The Legacy of Joseph Eichler" by
realtor-turned-lmmaker Monique Lombardelli are sched-
uled. A limited edition, numbered commemorative event
poster is available for purchase to ticketholders. For more

MID-CENTURY MODERNISM ON DISPLAY AT
THE CONTEMPORARY JEWISH MUSEUM IN SAN
FRANCISCO. From April 24 through Oct. 6, The
Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco presents
Designing Home: Jews and Midcentury Modernism, the rst
major exhibition to explore the role of Jewish architects,
designers and patrons in the formation of a new American
domestic landscape during the post World War II decades.
Brimming with vintage furnishings, textiles, wallpapers,
ceramics, posters, dinnerware and photographs, Designing
Home features the work of over 35 creative professionals
who helped spark Americas embrace of midcentury mod-
ernism, a bold new direction in design and thought.
Spotlights on signicant architecture from the era are pre-
sented throughout the galleries, including areas dedicated to
Joseph Eichlers designs.
The exhibition highlights the contributions of both
well-known designers and architects, among them Anni
Albers, George Nelson and Richard Neutra, as well as others
whose fascinating life stories and important contribution
have received much less critical attention, such as Ruth
Adler Schnee, Marguerite Wildenhain and Alex Steinweiss.
Designing Home also examines signicant patrons, mer-
chants and media gures who helped disseminate the mid-
century modern aesthetic and worldview to a broad audience.
A screening room illuminates Hollywoods role in pro-
moting modern design to the American public. Movie clips
featuring modern settings and fashion, vintage commer-
cials and illustrated title sequences by such luminaries as
Saul Bass are featured. Basss well-known movie poster
designs are also a highlight of this gallery.
The Contemporary Jewish Museum is open daily (except
Wednesday) 11 a.m.-5 p.m. and 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Thursday.
Museum admission is $12 for adults, $10 for students and
senior citizens with a valid ID, and $5 on Thursday after 5
p.m. Youth 18 and under are free. For general information
on The Contemporary Jewish Museum, visit thecjm.org or
call (415) 655-7800. The Contemporary Jewish Museum is
located at 736 Mission St. (between Third & Fourth streets),
San Francisco.

Game On serves up a plate of fantasy baseball, Silicon
Valley and environmentalism in a world premiere present-
ed by San Jose Repertory Theatre.
Playwrights Dan Hoyle and Tony Taccone combine all
these elements through the two main characters, Vinnie
(Marco Barricelli) and Alvin (Craig Marker), who share a
passion for fantasy baseball and the San Francisco Giants.
Theyre watching a game in the media room of a Los
Altos mansion while hoping to talk with an investor
wholl fund their idea for a new enterprise insects as a
tasty, protein-rich, environmentally friendly food in the
United States. Vinnie has even prepared two plates of
spring rolls made with the critters.
While they wait, theyre visited by Bob (Mike Ryan),
whos not as innocuous as he seems at first; Glen (Cassidy
Brown), the partys host and an avid environmentalist;
and Beth (Nisi Sturgis), Glens wife. Alvin knows Glen
and Beth from college.
Barricellis Vinnie, a cab driver, is rumpled and not too
polished. Markers Alvin, an unemployed Wall Street
type, is better dressed and smoother. Both have urgent,
almost desperate reasons to turn their idea into a money-
maker.
Director Rick Lombardo nicely orchestrates the action
by the excellent actors despite shortcomings in the
script. One is that the arguments between Vinnie and
Alvin go on too long.
Another shortcoming might be a directors choice, and
thats toward the end of the 90-minute, intermissionless
play, when the two men get involved in a food fight.
People in the front rows might be hit with flying bits of
rice and lettuce (no bugs, though).
Glens enviro-rap is a bit much, too, although his whale
imitation is terrific.
Hoyle, known as a solo performer, and Taccone, artistic
director of Berkeley Repertory Theatre, have a sound
premise for the play, but it needs some refining and per-
haps refocusing.
Game On continues at San Jose Repertory Theatre
through April 19. For tickets and information call (408)

the 70s (He assures me this was the epito-
me of style at the time). Ladies have also
undergone prom style evolutions over the
years. Dresses in the 50s tended to be white
and tea-length, while dresses of today cover
a range of colors, prints, luster, lengths ...
and plunges.
Regardless of current fashion trends, prom
remains an opportunity to feel glamorous.
Getting ready and dressing up becomes a
memory in itself and seeing peers dressed
their best provides a nice contrast from
daily school fashion.
Over the last several decades, the expecta-
tion to attend prom with a date has loos-
ened. In past years, many students stayed at
home the night of prom if they were unable
to nd a date. While a large number of stu-
dents still attend prom with dates, it is no
longer viewed as a necessity. I am so glad
prom can be something students can enjoy
with a group of friends and not something
that is limited by pressure to follow a some-
times exclusive tradition.
My favorite facet of prom is that it is uni-
versal. As I meet more students from other
high schools in other parts of the country,
Ive found that there are few things that link
our school experiences together. However,
one common link is almost always prom.
On several occasions, attending prom has
proved to be an invaluable conversational
starter when meeting new people. What did
your dress look like? What was your theme?
Can I see photos?
And just as prom connects me to other
people my age, I was reminded last week
that it also connects my generation to those
older than us. While setting up at the Design
Center a few hours before prom started, sev-
eral employees stopped to ask me what I
was doing. When I explained to them about
our prom, they all smiled and recounted
some of their experiences from their own
soirees during high school. Regardless of
age, they all viewed prom as a joyful memo-
ry to be reminisced with a smile.
While attending my senior prom is not
the most dening moment of my high
school career, I am so glad I could help con-
tinue a special American tradition and share
it with my friends.

English society in the late 19th century.

bonds to allow for two small schools
of 300 to 400 students and for six addi-
tional classrooms to Menlo-Atherton
High School. Godbe Research com-
pleted a voter survey regarding a
potential measure to support the dis-
tricts four comprehensive high
schools and alternative high school
programs. The results showed strong
support for a measure, reaching 68.4
percent for a simulated June election.
Support was generally consistent in
the school district regions that feed
into the high school district. Measure
Arequires a 55 percent yes vote on this
June 3 ballot item.
The argument in favor states to
ensure that our local schools continue
offering a challenging, varied and top-
quality curriculum as student enroll-
ment grows, Measure A is critical
now. Its signed by bond co-chair
Julia Horak, Redwood City
Councilwoman Alicia Aguirre,
Belmont City Treasurer John Violet,
San Carlos resident Linda Teutschel,
Deborah Stipek, dean of the Graduate
School of Education at Stanford
University, and district alumnus Steve
Westly, former California controller.
A demographic study indicates the
district is projected to grow starting in
the 2014-15 school year, reaching
more than 10,000 students by 2020-
21. Projections indicate that the dis-
trict will reach 10,056 students by
2020-21. These projections are based
in part on partner elementary district
growth. Enrollment in the partner dis-
tricts started to grow in 2006-07 from
22,893 students and reached 24,653
students in 2012-13.
Our high performing high schools
have drawn families to our communi-
ties, causing a surge in student enroll-
ment, the argument goes on to state.
Measure A will avoid school over-
crowding, help protect our high
schools diverse curriculum and ensure
students can enroll in the classes they
require.
For me its really important to sup-
port public education, said Horak,
who lives in San Carlos and has a sev-
enth- and eighth-grader. The most
important part is that our school dis-
trict is growing rapidly. We all know
its a great place to live, and we have
great schools. We know that the kids
are coming and we need to continue to
support our fantastic science and tech-
nology programs.
She noted its important to teach
kids in state-of-the-art classrooms.
In contrast, the rebuttal, written by
Mark Hinkle, president of the Silicon
Valley Taxpayers Association, states
the district is spending irresponsibly.
When school boards put bond
measures like Measure A before the
voters, they are admitting that every-
thing they are spending your tax dol-
lars on now is more important than the
projects for which this tax increase is
being sought, he wrote. Budgets
show us priorities. The Sequoia Union
High School District says they want
to avoid overcrowding, provide updat-
ed classroom technology, labs, etc.,
but are those priorities in their current
budget? No.
It goes on to state the district already
had a $165 million bond measure in
2008 that was supposed to take care of
technology funds for 10 years.
Additionally, it notes most people
would not pay for a computer class or
laptop with a 25-year loan. It states
buildings shouldnt be updated every
10 years with a 25-year bond and that
the districts spending is 141 percent
more per student than the statewide
average. Teachers in the district make
an average of $81,674 per year versus
the statewide average of $72,962 per
year, it states.
That a school district would pay off
a computer or router thats going to be
obsolete in ve years with a mortgage
seems like an insane type of thing that
individuals would never do, Hinkle
said. Its $265 million plus 25 years
of interest. Money should be spent on
maintenance and upkeep.
In rebuttal to Hinkles statements,
the pro side wrote this rigid ideologue
who doesnt even live in our com-
munity has filed an argument
against every school measure on the
ballot in every recent major election.
It goes on to state that currently each
of the comprehensive high schools is
at or near capacity.
Science and 21st century techno-
logical skills are essential for success
in todays competitive economy, it
states. Measure Aprovides additional
science labs and updated technology to
prepare students for the modern work-
place. By making our local high
schools a priority, our entire commu-
nity benets. Good schools improve
neighborhood safety and strengthen
property values.
The argument in favor also addresses
scal accountability, noting the funds
cant be taken by the state; no funds
can be used for administrators
salaries; and the measure would qualify
the districts schools for future state
matching funds and citizen oversight
and annual audits are required to ensure
all funds are used for voter-approved
purposes.

divorce, alcoholism, death weve
pretty much seen it all, she said.
With all these volunteer programs,
we can plug children into these pro-
grams so they can get the help that
they need.
Thornburgs latest venture is the
Happy Club, which gets together on
Thursdays at recess time. The group of
about 25 students rst started meeting
in September 2013 and sings songs
such as The time to be happy is now
and Love is something if you give it
away. They also share kind things
they did for others in the past week.
Its so important for kids to be kind
as young children, she said. I love
my job. Every day I look forward to
coming to school and seeing the joy in
the faces of children when they get a
new jacket or receive something from
one of these services.
Thornburgs love of the school has
kept her there for so many years.
Theres a sense of family here, she
said. I think thats important. The
children are really sweet and dont act
entitled. Theyre appreciative of any-
thing we do for them; I think thats
important.
She notes how on a ier asking for
counseling John Gill students, its
called the school with a heart.
It is a school with a heart, she
said. To me, that says it all.
Services she helps coordinate such
as the food pantry provide students
with foods such as rice, beans, oat-
meal, macaroni and cheese, tuna,
spaghetti sauce, corn, soup, green
beans, cereal and fruit. Sue Alvarez
from Woodside Portola Valley Rotary
Club donates the food. She also helps
coordinate internship programs
through Notre Dame de Namur
University, StarVista and police
departments to connect people study-
ing to become counselors and students
in need.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your sense of humor
will help you escape an awkward situation. You
will meet with opposition if you try to force your
opinions on others.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Keep your composure
today. Tension and anger will escalate if you are
stubborn. If you make improvements at home, you
wont have time to get into family squabbles.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A friend is likely to
develop stronger feelings toward you. Make sure
your intentions are clear, or your relationship may
have a bitter ending. Leading someone on will
make you look bad.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Children should be
included in your plans. Be cautious when it comes to
affairs of the heart. You could be in for a surprise if

by including the ones you love in enjoyable social
activities. Helping others out will make you feel more

little personal time today. Its great to be considerate
and caring, but you could use a little pampering as
well. Save your charitable efforts for another time.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Avoid arguments to

Free admission, everyone welcome
grade school.
The district has already held one public
hearing on the idea and there is no denitive
action scheduled by the council Tuesday
night. However, that has not stopped oppo-
nents and proponents from lining up,
adding more than 400 signatures to a pro-
swap petition and ooding decision mak-
ers email boxes with arguments and pleas
on both sides.
Heading into that meeting, Councilman
Ron Collins said hes looking to hear from
the public about what residents want. A
challenge, he said, is balancing the desires
of the community with the citys nances,
the districts wishes and the indisputable
fact that more room is needed for students
both present and future.
Its unavoidable. We have to put these
kids somewhere, Collins said.
But some Crestview residents would prefer
not to have them there, arguing that a new
school will bring with it trafc among other
concerns and may not even cater to children
who live in the city.
Collins also brings up another point
the school district may want the citys land
but does the city want the schools parcel?
If we take the land it might take $5 mil-
lion to $15 million to develop and then
well need to buy a house to create egress
and ingress and build possibly a gym or ten-
nis courts. So what we get is a piece of land
that we could maybe do something with but
for what? We dont just have $10 million
laying around, Collins said.
City Manager Jeff Maltbie estimates the
cost of building a park at approximately
$11 million with $129,000 in ongoing
maintenance and management. The city
doesnt currently have those funds and
would require a bond measure to tax to cover
access and park facilities at Tierra Linda,
according to Maltbie.
In March, the city received an $18 mil-
lion offer by a housing developer for the
land which was appraised last May at $13.5
million but Collins said that offer has now
expired. Regardless, the higher offer is
making some think that perhaps a straight
trade with the school district wouldnt be
equitable.
The city could theoretically sell the land
to the district at a price it can afford but
Collins said then the decision is whether to
take that money and buy something else or
deposit it in the general fund.
While the rst question for the city is
whether it even wants to go ahead with
some version of a land deal, the ultimate
decision may come to voters.
The Crestview site acquired in 1974 is
designated as park land in the citys general
plan and zoning map which means the coun-
cil would need to declare discontinued use as
a park is the public interest and call a spe-
cial election for simple majority voter
agreement. If passed, the city could then
sell or trade the site. If it fails, the city must
wait one year before going to voters again.
Placing the matter on the November ballot
is estimated to cost $32,000.
Adam Rak, president of the San Carlos
Elementary School District Board of
Trustees, prefers the city opt for a trade or
sale rather than development of the land but
said either way the district just wants an
answer sooner rather than later so that it can
look at alternatives.
Were the ones under the time crunch.
Theyre not. So the more they can work
with us the better, Rak said.
Aspecic timeline isnt set but Rak said
the district can have some patience if the
city is headed in that direction.
Rak also points out that the city would
need a referendum even if it preferred devel-
opment to school facilities on that site
the question may be then what the commu-
nity wants rather than what brings in the
most dollars.
Rak hopes the council Tuesday night
hears an outpouring of support and said a
petition of support as of Friday had more
than 400 signatures.
He understands some Crestview residents
have worries such as increased trafc in the
neighborhood but hopes for a collaborate
effort to nd mitigation steps.
Clearly there will be a change if this
goes through for the folks that live near
Crestview and wed like to continue to work
with them, he said.
The San Carlos City Council meets 6 p.m.
Tuesday, April 22 at City Hall, 600 Elm St.,
San Carlos.

Circle Star Way and months later added its
103,904-square-foot sister property, 2
Circle Star Way. Between the two, after bro-
ker fees and upfront improvement costs, the
county estimated standing to bring in more
than $6 million in yearly revenue and more
than $30 million over the seven-year life of
the agreement.
SoftBank is a telecom company which
owns a majority of Sprint Nextel.
In 2013, the county began in earnest dis-
cussing selling off the properties and at
Tuesdays meeting the Board of Supervisors
will consider formally declaring its inten-
tion and setting the sale terms such as time
and place, opening proposals and how to
publish notice.
As proposed, the sale will be by auction at
the May 20 Board of Supervisors meeting
with acceptance of the highest sealed bid.
The Board of Supervisors meets 9 a.m.
Tuesday, April 22 in Board Chambers, 400
County Government Center, Redwood City.
