A state appellate court overturned
the 2009 vehicular manslaughter
conviction of a Redwood City man
whose fatal crash on Woodside
Road killed an 8-year-old girl and
severely injured her mother and sis-
ter.
The First
District Court of
Appeals found
that prosecutor
Shin-Mee Chang
should not have
argued to jurors
that Richard
Toms silence
after the acci-
dent indicated his guilt and violated
his Fifth Amendment right of self-
incrimination by doing so.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe
said his ofce will decide in upcom-
ing weeks whether to retry the case
or let the reversal stand. He had yet
to read the opinion.
My only comment right now is
that we are very disappointed at this
outcome, Wagstaffe said.
Tom, 50, is serving seven years
for gross vehicular manslaughter
and causing great bodily injury in
the Feb. 19, 2007 crash that killed
Sydney Ng, 8, and left her mother
and 10-year-old sister hospitalized.
Prosecutors said Tom broadsided
the Ng familys Nissan Maxima
with his Mercedes Benz as it made
its way across Woodside Road.
Hours after the crash, Toms alco-
hol level measured .04 percent.
Using scientic rates of alcohol pro-
cessing, the prosecution contended
Tom was over the legal limit at the
time of the accident. However, the
jury acquitted Tom of gross vehicu-

King George Tupou V of Tonga, who introduced democracy to the South
Pacic archipelago after riots following his ascension in 2006, died in a
Hong Kong hospital on Sunday.
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The local Tongan community is
mourning the passing of King
George Tupou V, the man credited
with bringing democracy to the
nation a couple of years after his
father, King Taufaahau Tupou IV,
died in 2006.
Tupous family ruled the archipel-
ago with near absolute power from
1845 until just a few years ago when
Tupou V gave up his authority to
allow the countrys prime minister
to guide the nation.
He died Sunday in Hong Kong at
the age of 63. The cause of death
was not released but the king did
have a kidney removed six months
ago after a tumor was discovered.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
The story of a man buying a
Bentley for less than half of its orig-
inal price is seldom told, mainly
because it rarely happens, but as
luck would have it one such man
does exist and he lives in
Belmont.
This man owns a mid-2000s
Bentley Coupe, armed with a W12
Volkswagen motor producing 552
bhp out of 6.0 liters and a couple of
turbos. Based almost exclusively on
reputation, its fairly obvious the
Bentley was built primarily for com-
fort, and therefore the ride is noth-
ing short of soft, but its nothing that
cant be helped by having adjustable
suspension. Simply twisting a dial
can tell the car to ready itself for
high-speed cornering.
The thing to remember about the
Bentley is although it has the power
to laugh at most other cars in its
weight class, it doesnt. The power
isnt overwhelming or in your face.
It seems to say, Yes, we can go
faster whenever youre ready, and
lets you drive it. And the electron-
ics arent nearly as apparent as in
say, a Mercedes. They are in the
background, like grips on a movie
set just there to make your per-
formance more comfortable. The
Bentley really does let you drive it,
and doesnt drive you.
But now on to the owner.
He is Brad Clore, or as some peo-
ple know him, the owner of
Belmont Hardware, and he knows
how to properly acquire a luxury
coupe for a good price.
Its important to know that its a
possibility, Clore said.
A year ago, Clore was in the mar-

High school seniors in South San Francisco
who fall ve to 10 units short of graduating will
have the chance to walk in a ceremony after
summer school, according to a new rule that
will be nalized by the Board of Trustees
Thursday.
Requirements for participating in gradua-
tion ceremonies in the South San Francisco
Unied High School District were evaluated
after numerous students up to 10 units short
of what was required were allowed, last
minute, to walk in ceremonies last spring.
The decision was heavily questioned by the
community. In January, a task force with par-
ents, teachers, administrators and possibly a
couple students began to review the policies.
At the recommendation of the task force, the
board is considering a graduation for students
who meet the requirements by attending sum-
mer school. Thursday night will be a second
reading of the rule changes introduced earlier
this month. If approved, the new rules will
apply to the current senior class.
Board President Judy Bush called the
proposal a right fit for the district. Bush
was particularly happy to note those who
previously expressed concerns were tapped
to participate in the task force which made
the recommendation.
I think this is a win/win, she said.
Superintendent Alejandro Hogan said the
community feedback about adding a summer
graduation has been very positive.
Currently, South San Francisco Unieds
policy states at the discretion of the superin-
tendent or designee, a student who will com-
plete graduation requirements during the
summer may participate in graduation exer-
cises without receiving his/her diploma.
When the requirements have been satised, a
diploma shall be sent to the student.
Days prior to graduation in 2011, then
interim superintendent Adolfo Melara was
approached by a student who showed they
had overall more units than required to grad-
uate but fell short on an English class, the
equivalent of ve units, which was to be com-
pleted over the summer. After checking with
the principal to verify the information,
Melara agreed. It was at that time a principal
noted many students were in a similar situa-
tion and should be granted the same opportu-
nity.
This is when people in the community
began to question the process.
Notice was sent to both principals asking
for lists of students who met all other gradua-
tion requirements but were 10 or fewer units
shy of graduation. South San Francisco High
School had 23 students who t the criteria
while El Camino High School had 18. The day
of graduation, many students were contacted so
they were made aware of the option to walk.
Not all decided to participate.
As a result, many school employees anony-
mously took to the web voicing concerns about
the last-minute decision.
Guidelines for participating in a graduation
ceremony are different in each district.
Students in the San Mateo Union High
School District, for example, must meet all
requirements to walk. The Sequoia Union High
School District offers a summer graduation in
August for students who complete require-
ments through summer school. The Palo Alto
Unied School District allows students with a
10 or fewer units left to complete to participate
in the ceremony. This must be pre-approved
with an agreement the student will nish the
remaining units over the summer, at which time
he or she will be given a diploma.
The board meets 7 p.m. Thursday, March 22
at the District Ofce, 398 B St., South San
Francisco.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
San Carlos ofcials are moving forward
with plans to turn a downtown parking lot
and adjacent lots into a mix of housing and
retail despite the funding uncertainty created
by the statewide dissolution of redevelop-
ment agencies.
The environmental review process was
well under way for the so-called Wheeler
Plaza project when the dissolution of RDAs
took effect. Although the move put the proj-
ect in limbo, the city is continuing work on it
in the event it and the developer Silverstone
can find a way to still make it happen.
Well have to see what the numbers look
like, said Assistant City Manager Brian
Moura.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday night, the
Transportation and Circulation Commission
will consider whether to recommend the City
Council approve the final environmental
impact report.
The EIR would be valid for several years,
according to Community Development
Director Al Savay.
If instead the city halts the pre-construc-
tion approvals until money is secure, it would
have to go back to the drawing board.
The proposed project concerns the parking
lot behind Laurel Street and San Carlos
Avenue, fronting Walnut Street, and several
city-owned buildings along San Carlos
Avenue and Laurel Street. One is a six-unit
rental housing building and another the for-
mer Foodville Market. The entire space is
approximately 2.65 acres, sitting roughly
300 feet southwest of the Caltrain Station,
two blocks from City Hall and straddling
areas of both retail and multi-family housing.
Right now, the project is split into three
components: the Wheeler Plaza mixed-use
plan to replace the parking lot and retail with
9,855 square feet of commercial space and
108 residential units above a three-level
parking garage; the Laurel Street commercial
and plaza component which includes the
public space and a two-story 4,500-square-
foot building for restaurant and office space;
and the Cherry Street affordable housing
component which would include a 31-unit
building.
The proposal is consistent with the general
plans traffic components as long as certain
steps are taken to mitigate congestion,
according to the staff report. The most sig-
nificantly impacted areas would be the inter-
sections of Holly and Laurel streets and
Cherry and Laurel streets during peak hours.
To ease the flow, the FEIR suggests a new
stop sign at Cherry and Laurel streets, creat-
ing a four-way stop that allows eastbound
traffic to move through the intersection more
quickly. Coordinating the traffic signal light
at the Holly and Laurel street intersection
with other nearby signals would also make
traffic move more efficiently.
Any traffic mitigation fees would be used
to improve circulation and the design should
also include parking garage driveways with
good visibility and pedestrian warning signs
along Walnut Street, the report concluded.
The idea, if not any actual plans, for
Wheeler Plaza date back to the late 1990s
when the redevelopment agency envisioned a
parking structure with 60 residential units
and 120 bedrooms.
In November 2010, the RDA propelled the
plan by shelling out $2.8 million for the
7,400-square-foot former Foodville parcel at
1245 San Carlos Ave. adjacent to the
Wheeler Plaza parking lot.
The Transportation and Circulation
Commission meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March
20 at City Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.

Local brief
By Paul Elias
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO A contrite and emo-
tional San Francisco sheriff apologized
Monday for a domestic violence incident with
his wife after a judge sentenced him to three
years of probation and ordered him to attend
an anti-domestic violence program.
There are no excuses and I accept full
responsibility, Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi said
outside court. He read a prepared statement
and appeared to choke up several times when
he mentioned his longing to reunite with his
wife and 3-year-old son.
San Francisco District Attorney George
Gascon said he accepted Mirkarimis state-
ment as sincere and believes the sheriff is
accepting responsibility for his actions.
Last week, Gascon said he had been upset
while reading comments from Mirkarimi and
his supporters suggesting the plea was made
because of rising attorney fees and the sher-
iffs desire to simply put the embarrassing
incident behind him.
He assumed full responsibility, Gascon
said Monday in his ofce near the courtroom
where Mirkarimi was sen-
tenced for bruising the
bicep of his wife Eliana
Lopez, a former telenovela
star in her native
Venezuela.
Now that the sheriff has
pleaded guilty to a misde-
meanor count of false
imprisonment and been
sentenced, the question is
whether Mirkarimi can
keep the job he won in the November election
and took over in January.
Anti-domestic violence advocates are call-
ing for Mayor Ed Lee and the Board of
Supervisors to remove Mirkarimi, a former
supervisor, from ofce.
While Lee can start the proceedings to
remove Mirkarimi, it will take the votes of
nine of 11 supervisors to accomplish that task.
Francis Tsang, a spokesman, said the mayor
was meeting Monday with Mirkarimi to dis-
cuss the conviction and whats best for San
Francisco. He would not elaborate.
Gascon defended his ofces decision to
allow Mirkarimi to plead guilty in exchange
for the dropping of three other misdemeanor
charges of domestic violence, child endanger-
ment and dissuading a witness.
The deal was struck as a jury was picked for
a trial that promised to embarrass the newly
elected sheriff with testimony about indelity,
his temper and other intimate details.
This was not a political prosecution, said
Gascon, noting he would have gone ahead
with the trial if he wanted to harm Mirkarimis
political standing.
Our intent was not political or to embarrass
him. It was to seek justice
Gascon also said the false imprisonment
charge was a domestic violence plea and the
conviction was just as serious as the charges
that were dropped.
Under the plea agreement, Mirkarimi must
pay $590 in nes, serve probation, spend a
year in a domestic violence intervention pro-
gram, take parenting classes and do communi-
ty service.
The district attorney said Mirkarimi will be
barred from carrying a gun until a judge lifts a
stay-away order still in place that prevents the
sheriff from seeing his wife without court per-
mission.

SAN FRANCISCO The
California State University system
plans to close spring admissions at
most campuses next year, and deep
enrollment cuts are planned if vot-
ers reject Gov. Jerry Browns meas-
ure to raise taxes, a top school of-
cial said Monday.
Only eight of Cal States 23 cam-
puses will admit students for the
spring 2013 term, with enrollment
limited to several hundred commu-
nity college transfer students, Vice
Chancellor Robert Turnage said.
CSU admitted about 16,000 stu-
dents last spring.
In addition, if voters reject
Browns November tax measure,
total enrollment could be reduced
by as many as 25,000 students, or
roughly 6 percent, during the 2013-
14 academic year, he said.
Were facing an incredibly
uncertain situation, Turnage told
reporters on a conference call. In
the wake of all these cuts weve
taken, we really have to bring our
enrollments down.
The system, which currently has
417,000 undergraduate and gradu-
ate students, is curtailing spring
enrollment next year after the state
reduced funding by $750 million, or
27 percent, this year.
If voters approve Browns tax
measure, CSU funding would
remain at at $2 billion under the
governors budget plan in 2012-13.
If voters reject it, the system would
lose $200 million in the middle of
the academic year.
University administrators will
present the plan to the CSU Board
of Trustees when it meets in Long
Beach on Tuesday, though campus-
es dont need the boards approval
for enrollment decisions.
Campuses that will admit spring
2013 applicants are Channel
Islands, Chico, East Bay, Fullerton,
Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San
Francisco and Sonoma. The other
15 schools are trying to reduce
enrollment, ofcials said.
Spring admissions will be limited
to community college students who
have completed newly created asso-
ciate degrees that allow them to
transfer to CSU as juniors.
Reducing enrollment will likely
allow CSU campuses to save money
by reducing the number of instruc-
tors, administrators and staff needed
to serve students, said CSU
spokesman Mike Uhlenkamp.
School ofcials are not recom-
mending a tuition increase beyond
the previously approved 9 percent
hike this fall, when in-state under-
graduates will pay $5,970 annually,
which doesnt include room, board
or campus fees. Thats double what
they paid ve years ago and four
times what they paid a decade earli-
er.
The enthusiasm for the fee
increases is pretty much not there,
Turnage said.
Over the past three years, the state
has slashed funding for the Cal
State system along with the 10-cam-
pus University of California system
and 112 community colleges,
prompting fee hikes, course cut-
backs, staff reductions and campus
protests.
Failure of Browns tax plan would
reduce state funding of CSU to $1.8
billion, down from nearly $3 billion
four years ago.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A man accused of brutally assault-
ing and raping a woman in an aban-
doned South San Francisco home
before escaping with the help of his
cousin will learn in May if hell stand
trial on multiple felonies that could
send him to prison for life.
Sergio Cortez, 28, has pleaded not
guilty to all charges stemming from
the alleged Sept. 8 attack on a
woman who met him and agreed to
have sex. On May 9, Cortez will have
a preliminary hearing on the evi-
dence.
Prosecutors say after the couple
met, Cortez drove the woman to an
alley where he punched her in the
face and forced oral copulation
before taking her at knifepoint to an
abandoned home
in the 600 block
of Third Lane in
South San
F r a n c i s c o .
Cortez allegedly
broke into the
home, forced the
woman into a
water heater
closet where he
urinated on her
and called his male cousin to come
over.
The cousin allegedly smoked
methamphetamine with Cortez and
left at which point authorities say the
woman had her faced smashed
against the bathroom wall and toilet
tank before again being sexually
assaulted.
The cousin returned with clothing
and the men drove the woman to his
house where she was told to shower.
After Cortez left, the cousins broth-
er called South San Francisco police
who arrived and located the suspect
shortly after.
Cortez pleaded not guilty to kid-
napping for the purposes of rape,
forcible copulation and forcible rape.
If convicted, he faces 25 years to life
in prison.
At the time of his arrest, Cortez
was on misdemeanor court probation
for a petty theft conviction earlier
this year. He also pleaded no contest
in 2004 to one felony count of pos-
sessing stolen property. He received
six months in jail and probation.
He remains in custody without
bail.

WASHINGTON The nations
security and economic prosperity
are at risk if Americas schools
dont improve, warns a task force
led by former Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice and Joel Klein,
the former chancellor of New York
Citys school system.
The report, obtained by the
Associated Press, cautions that far
too many schools fail to adequately
prepare students. The dominant
power of the 21st century will
depend on human capital, it said.
The failure to produce that capital
will undermine American security.
The task force said the State
Department and U.S. intelligence
agencies face critical shortfalls in
the number of foreign language
speakers, and that fields such as
science, defense and aerospace are
at particular risk because a shortage
of skilled workers is expected to
worsen as baby boomers retire.
According to the panel, 75 per-
cent of young adults dont qualify
to serve in the military because they
are physically unt, have criminal
records or inadequate levels of edu-

Occupy Wall Street urges
May 1 strike over arrests
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Occupy Wall Street activists on Monday
called for supporters to skip work on May 1 to protest what
theyre calling police brutality during 73 arrests in New York
during the weekend.
Several dozen activists joined members of New Yorks City
Council for a news conference in Zuccotti Park to complain
about police tactics. On Saturday, police started detaining peo-
ple after hundreds of Occupy supporters gathered in the park
to mark six months since the start of the movement.
Occupy organizers across the country have been mobilizing
for months toward a one-day general strike in May.
Theyre encouraging people to stay out of work and school,
and to refrain from spending money. In New York, a coalition
of unions and worker justice groups are planning a solidarity
march through the city.
Council members at Mondays news conference included
Ydanis Rodriguez, a Manhattan Democrat who denounced
police actions, while proposing that the council create a
Protesters Bill of Rights to establish basic rights.
I am here today because Saturday night I saw the New York
Police Department using brutal, excessive force arresting peo-
ple who were protesting peacefully, Rodriguez told the news
conference. We are calling on Mayor Bloomberg and
Commissioner Kelly to ght for our constitutional rights as
hard as they ght terrorism.
Police search for man who brandished handgun
San Mateo police are looking for a man who allegedly bran-
dished a rearm after he had an incident with another motorist
on State Route 92 late Saturday night, according to police.
The incident started when the victim ashed his high beams
at a passing vehicle to get the other drive to turn off the high
beams, according to police.
Both vehicles exited the freeway and headed south on
Alameda de las Pulgas, when the suspect driver suddenly
stopped ahead of the victim driver near the 2200 block of
southbound Alameda, according to police.
The suspect is described as a black man around 40 years
old, about 5 feet 10 inches tall with a medium build, exited his
vehicle and approached the victim, pointed a handgun at the
victim and yelledat him, according to police.
The suspect then returned to his vehicle and ed the scene
in a newer, dark Mercedes with a possible partial license
plate of 6CF. The victim believes that there was also a pas-
senger in the suspect vehicle at the time of the incident,
according to police.
Anyone with information on the incident should call police
at (650) 522-7650.

FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan.
The Army staff sergeant accused of
slaughtering 16 Afghan civilians in a
nighttime shooting rampage has a
sketchy memory of the night of the mas-
sacre, his lawyer said Monday after
meeting his client for the rst time.
Lawyer John Henry Browne said
Robert Bales remembers some details
from before and after the killings, but
very little or nothing of the time the mil-
itary believes he went on a shooting
spree through two Afghan villages.
He has some memory of some things
that happened that night. He has some
memories of before the incident and he
has some memories of after the incident.
In between, very little, Browne told the
Associated Press by telephone from Fort
Leavenworth, where Bales is being held.
Pressed on whether Bales can remem-
ber anything about the shooting, Browne
said, No, but added: I havent gotten
that far with him yet.
In an earlier interview with CBS,
Browne said unequivocally that Bales
cant remember the shootings.
Bales, 38, has not been charged yet in
the March 11 shootings, though charges
could come this week. The killings
sparked protests in Afghanistan, endan-
gered relations between the two coun-
tries and threatened to upend American
policy over the decade-old war.
Earlier Monday, Browne met with his
client behind bars for the rst time to
begin building a defense and said the
soldier gave a powerfully moving
account of what it is like to be on the
ground in Afghanistan.
Browne said he and Bales, who is
being held in an isolated cell at the mili-
tary prison, met for more than three
hours at Fort Leavenworth.
Whats going on on the ground in
Afghanistan, you read about it. I read
about it. But its totally different when
you hear about it from somebody whos
been there, Browne told the AP. Its
just really emotional.

WASHINGTON Karen Capato
used the frozen sperm of her deceased
husband to conceive twins, but the gov-
ernment denied them Social Security
benets as their fathers survivors. Her
situation, more common as reproductive
technology advances, had a mostly
unsympathetic Supreme Court grap-
pling Monday with the denition of
child, inheritance law and artificial
insemination.
The case had justices trying to shoe-
horn a 1930s law that gave Social
Security survivor benets to the depend-
ent child or legally adopted child of a
person into a modern situation where a
man can bank his sperm for use months
or years later to produce a child he will
never see.
You want us to sort of apply this old
law to new technology, Justice Stephen
Breyer said to Charles Rothfeld, the
lawyer for Capato, the mother of twins
fathered by her deceased husband,
Robert. Lawmakers who wrote the sur-
vivor benefits law never had any
inkling about the situation that has aris-
en in this case, added Justice Samuel
Alito.
But Justice Antonin Scalia said that
they werent trying to delve into new
technology. What is at issue here is not
whether children that have been born
through articial insemination get bene-
ts. Its whether children who are born
after the fathers death gets benets,
Scalia said.
The Capato twins were born through
using Robert Capatos frozen sperm 18
months after he died of esophageal can-
cer. Karen Capatos application for sur-
vivor benets on behalf of the twins was
rejected by the Social Security
Administration, which said that for them
to qualify, Robert Capato needed to be
alive during their conception. A federal
judge agreed, saying they had to qualify
as Capatos children before his death or
qualify under state inheritance law as
children who could legally inherit.
Florida law expressly bars children
conceived posthumously from inheri-
tance, unless they are named in a will.
The only beneficiaries named in
Capatos will are his wife, their son and
his two children from a previous mar-
riage.
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
in Philadelphia overturned that decision,
saying the Capato twins were clearly the
biological children of Robert Capato
and deserved the survivor benets. But
other federal appellate courts have ruled
differently in similar cases, leaving the
Supreme Court to come to a nal con-
clusion.

BEIRUT Syrian rebels battled regime
forces Monday in a heavily protected, upscale
area of Damascus, activists said, in a sign that
the countrys outgunned opposition is increas-
ingly turning to insurgent tactics.
At least three people were killed in the re-
ght, which was the most serious clash in the
Syrian capital since the uprising began a year
ago. The battle with machine guns and auto-
matic ries brought the countrys violent con-
ict to the streets of a neighborhood that
houses embassies and senior government of-
cials.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights, which has a network of
activists throughout the country, said 18 gov-
ernment troops were wounded in the ghting
and two later were believed to have died.
Rami Abdul-Rahman, who heads the
Observatory, described the clash as the most
violent of its kind and closest to security cen-
ters in Damascus since the revolution began.
He said several armed groups of defectors
came from one of the suburbs and red a
rocket-propelled grenade at the house of an
army brigadier general. They then entered a
building where they were chased by security
forces.
It was not clear whether the general was
hurt, he said.
The state-run SANA news agency gave a
different version of events, saying the ghting
broke out when security forces stormed an
apartment used as a hideout by an armed ter-
rorist group in the Mazzeh neighborhood.
The report said two gunmen were killed and
a third was arrested while a member of the
security forces was killed.
Due to restrictions on journalists in Syria, it
was impossible to reconcile the two accounts.
Since the start of the uprising against
President Bashar Assad, the regime has
referred to its opponents as terrorists and
insisted the revolt is driven by a foreign con-
spiracy, not popular will.
The uprising began with mostly peaceful
protests against the government, inspired by
the Arab Spring uprisings across the region.
But the regime cracked down violently, open-
ing re on demonstrations and rounding up
thousands of protesters.

Letters to the editor
The Kingston (New York) Daily Freeman
W
hat a mess. Thats how centuries
of warriors and politicians have
described what's currently known
as Afghanistan.
Were going back to Alexander the Great,
Genghis Khan, the former Soviet Union and
today a U.S.-led NATO initiative trying,
seemingly with little success, to stabilize this
troubled part of the world.
Its a mess made worse by the massacre of
16 civilians, allegedly by a lone American
soldier (although accounts vary as to whether
or not there were more).
The Taliban is using the inhumane attack
as their latest excuse to rationalize more vio-
lence. After U.S. troops burned Muslim holy
books in February, the Taliban led attacks
that resulted in six American deaths.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai, rather
than calling for calm in the wake of what
seems to be a rogue attack, instead ratcheted
up the rhetoric: This is an assassination, an
intentional killing of innocent civilians and
cannot be forgiven.
All of which again begs the question, what
is our military still doing in Afghanistan and
how fast can we get out?
Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, is calling
for patience, warning a quick U.S. (with-
drawal) could enable al-Qaida to use
Afghanistan as a base for attacks.
Its up to President Barack Obama to
quickly and in great detail inform the
American people why this continued mission
in Afghanistan is in our countrys best inter-
est. It will be a tough sell.
In reply to Sharing the wealth
Editor,
This letter is in reply to Diane S. Smiths
complaint and solution to sharing the wealth
published in the March 14 edition of the
Daily Journal. When I wrote about sharing
the wealth, I wasnt thinking about South
San Francisco. I was more interested
Woodside, Los Altos Hills or Hillsborough.
To be a real Republican, you should have
wealth you really wanted to conserve. To be
a conservative living in South San
Francisco, you must be a really religious
Republican. I can see that Diane is faithful
to her religion, but does she know that her
citys school district pays teachers $20,000
less then Hillsborough teachers for doing
the same job? There is social and economic
inequality in this country and it is growing.
People like Diane just cant see the big pic-
ture due to their faith in conservatism and
its spokesman, Rush Limbaugh.
It is sad fact that, while the middle class
is disappearing due to cuts in jobs, pen-
sions, healthcare and pay, people like Diane
are squabbling about the leftovers. The 1
percenters must be enjoying this debate
from the sidelines.

Transparency and fairness
Editor,
I see that 15 of 17 sections of the
Saltworks environmental impact report are
to be written by people hand-picked by
DMB and, DMB will control the content of
those reports so that the city doesnt see
anything that DMB doesnt want it to see.
That process will make the Saltworks
project easier to approve and save DMB
much money in mitigation costs. This is not
the transparent and fair process the city
promised its citizens, of which I am one,
and a lifelong one at that. This is not the
way other cities do this or have done this.
Consultants are overseen by the city and
work for the city as neutral parties and the
developer pays the cost. Redwood City
Neighbors United have asked the city to fol-
low the latter, transparent and fair proce-
dures. Now is the time for the city to make
these changes and stop fronting for DMB.
We are not stupid and we will not allow our
city and our Bay to be ruined for DMBs
tremendous profit. We have been asking the
council to represent the interests of the
majority of its citizens who have indicated
clearly that they do not want this develop-
ment to fill in their Bay, build all that hous-
ing away from transportation and down-
town, squander water we dont have and
crowd our freeways even more.
It has been clear from the start of this
project that the city was working with and
for DMB and not us, the citizens. I would,
at this point, love to be proved wrong, and I
ask that you changed the procedures for the
EIR so that they are transparent and fair.

Caltrain deaths and investigations
Editor,
When there is a death by a train there is
very little uproar about it these days. It is
always ruled either a suicide or trespass-
ing. The investigations only take several
minutes, during which trains are rerouted
using a single track (as not to delay the
commute too much). The latest event lasted
40 minutes.
A couple of weeks ago I asked one of my
local policemen, who was finishing up
investigating an accident on El Camino
Real, as to why their investigations take a
couple of hours even when there is no injury
or death and Caltrain takes a matter of min-
utes. He answered rather bluntly that
Caltrain does its own investigation. That
seems rather self-serving and very wrong.
But, it does explain the simplistic conclu-
sions that Caltrain provides after an acci-
dent. There needs to be independent investi-
gations into these deaths when they happen.
These peoples relatives and friends deserve
(as does the public) an honest answer as to
what happened. Maybe by doing honest
investigations patterns might emerge or
insights gained. Maybe simple things will
be learned like it could be difficult to clear-
ly hear the train whistle when you are
directly in front of it.
The investigations purpose should not be
to merely absolve Caltrain of blame. It
would be nice if some independent group or
newspaper (hint, hint) would tag along and
investigate the investigation. Pease tell me
why they get to investigate themselves.
These days not even the police depart-
ments are given that much autonomy. If they
are allowed to conduct their investigations
free from oversight why dont we make it
easier for everyone and speed up that com-
mute but equipping each train with a power
washer and Teflon cow catchers.

Getting out of Afghanistan
Other voices
Cashing out
C
ash may be king but its facing a
strong coup detat from those
would-be currency successors wait-
ing in the wings namely sh tins, laundry
detergent and yes, even the tuba.
Tuba?
Yes, tuba.
Southern
California schools
have been plagued
by a rash of
break-ins during
which the thieves
leave costly com-
puter equipment
and bypass pretty
much everything
else of value
minus the tubas
and sousaphones.
The reason seems not to be the brass
although that would be a logical assumption
considering the way copper prices sparked
widespread plundering of wire and plaques
but banda, a popular type of Mexican
dance music in which tuba plays a dominant
role. The thefts have gotten so bad some
news reports refer to the situation as an epi-
demic.
The tubas themselves are costly, up to
$6,000 by some accounts, and reportedly nab
a pretty penny on the black market. Thats
good news for the sellers but the schools and
students left empty handed are singing a dif-
ferent tune. Meanwhile, tuba players are
reportedly highly prized in banda groups and
can command up to double the pay of other
musicians.
Just by virtue of their gargantuan size, its
doubtful tubas will ever completely replace
the Benjamins as money. But, can you imag-
ine? Try hitting a drive-through with a few of
the instruments in tow. Youd never get the
dough through the window. And how does
one make change? Flutes? Tambourines?
A better idea based on the, dare we call it,
economy of scale is mackerel. Ever since
2004 when the federal penal system did
away with cigarettes in its prisons, pouches
of the oily sh became the most highly
prized item in the commissary. Mackerel
turned out to be a pretty good t in terms of
replacement dough. Need a haircut? A cou-
ple of macks. Into poker games during your
hour of yard privileges? See three mackerels
and raise another. Somebody turned stool
pigeon? You may not have enough mackerel
to take care of that job.
And why not mackerel? Is it any less ran-
dom than shells, salt or even the current
paper bills and metal coins?
Only problem with the sh is their lack of
worth on the other side of the bars. In that
world, the tide turns toward laundry deter-
gent. Yep, Tide is making a killing on the
black market which, on a side note, makes
me really want to nd said market. Sounds
like you can get a lot more than just the
proverbial baby for sale or spare kidney.
But back to the soap.
Just like with the tubas, thieves nationwide
are making clean getaways with thousands of
dollars worth of soap. Some retailers are
reportedly using security alarms on the bot-
tles or putting them behind locked doors like
its regulated cold medicine or top-shelf
liquor. One Washington state drug raid
turned up nearly two dozen plastic bottles of
the stuff. Seems customers were paying for
their cocaine in Tide rather than money.
Ofcials say Tides high price and name
recognition are behind its uptick in populari-
ty as a shoplifting target. Thieves who nab a
bottle worth $10 to $20 and sell it for half
that amount still turn a tidy prot. Sell
enough and buy a tuba! Get caught, learn
about mackerel!
Guess in the end, no matter what the cur-
rency, somebody has to pay.

NEW YORK U.S. stocks drifted
higher Monday but lost the momentum
from their biggest week of the year. A
dividend from Apple, a deal for UPS
and the promise of greater demand for
U.S. Steel drove those stocks to gains.
The Dow Jones industrial average was
up as much as 37 points but sank most
of the afternoon and nished up 6.51 at
13,239.13. It was a ho-hum perform-
ance compared with the Dows 310-
point gain last week.
The Standard & Poors 500 rose 5.58
points to 1,409.75, its highest close
since May 20, 2008. The Nasdaq com-
posite index rose 23.06 points to
3,078.32.
An index of homebuilder condence
came in unchanged. Without major eco-
nomic news or headlines out of Europe,
the markets were steered by announce-
ments from a handful of well-known
companies.
Apple rose 2.7 percent to $601.10, its
rst close above $600, after announcing
that it would pay a shareholder dividend
and buy back $10 billion of its stock
over three years.
The dividend is expected to expand
the companys shareholder reach
because value-oriented mutual funds
that focus on dividends will buy it.
Apples stock has already skyrocketed
from $405 this year, partly in anticipa-
tion of the dividend.
UPS rose 3.4 percent after announc-
ing it would buy TNT Express, the sec-
ond-largest express mail company in
Europe behind DHL. The purchase fur-
ther solidies UPS status as the worlds
largest delivery company.
U.S. Steel climbed 6.4 percent, the
best performer in the S&P 500, after
some manufacturers announced price
hikes last week, fueling expectations of
improving demand. Steel Dynamics and
AK Steel Holding Corp. also rose.
The markets couldnt match the elec-
tricity of last week. The Dow and the
S&P 500 both rose 2.4 percent last
week, their best showings of the year so
far. For the rst time, the Dow closed
above 13,000 and the Nasdaq above
3,000 on the same day.
On Monday, while ever-present con-
cerns about European debt, a slowdown
in China and the pace of U.S. economic
growth were bubbling below the sur-
face, investors seemed to take a day off
from worrying about them.

Big movers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Apple is nally
acknowledging that it has more money
than it needs. But dont expect it to cut
prices on iPhones and iPads. Instead, the
company said on Monday that it will
reward its shareholders with a dividend
and a share buyback program.
Apple, the worlds most valuable com-
pany, sits on $97.6 billion in cash and
securities. The decision to return some
of that money to investors is a clear sig-
nal that Apple is taking a different
approach in the post-Jobs era.
Former CEO Steve Jobs resisted calls
to issue dividends for years. He used to
say the money was better used to give
Apple maneuvering room to, for
instance, make strategic acquisitions.
Apple paid a quarterly dividend between
1987 and 1995, a period when Jobs was
not involved with the company.
Jobs died in October after a long ght
with cancer.
On Monday, new CEO Tim Cook said
that, with as much cash as Apple has on
hand, a dividend wont restrain the com-
panys options.
These decisions will not close any
doors for us, he told analysts and
reporters on a conference call.
Had it kept amassing cash and low-
yielding securities, Apple eventually
could have opened itself to a legal chal-
lenge from shareholders, who could
have argued that it was misusing their
money.
Cook also suggested that the dividend
could have been larger if U.S. tax laws
were different.
Apple said that it will pay a quarterly
dividend of $2.65 per share, starting in
its scal fourth quarter, which begins
July 1.
The dividend works out to $10.60
annually, or 1.8 percent of the current
stock price. By comparison, Microsoft
Corp., pays 2.5 percent of its stock price
in dividends, and Hewlett-Packard Co.
pays 2 percent.
However, in absolute terms, Apple
will pay one of the richest dividends in
the U.S. It will spend more than $10 bil-
lion on dividends in its rst year, placing
it just below companies including AT&T
Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc.,
for whom the dividend is the main way
of attracting investors.
Exxon Mobil Corp., the worlds sec-
ond largest company by market capital-
ization, pays about $9 billion in divi-
dends annually.
Apple to pay dividend, start stock buybacks
The amount of cash and securities
held by Apple at the end of each scal
year, which runs through late
September:
2005: $8.3 billion.
2006: $10.1 billion.
2007: $15.4 billion.
2008: $24.5 billion.
2009: $34 billion.
2010: $51 billion.
2011: $81.6 billion.

WASHINGTON Homebuilders
feelings about the current housing mar-
ket havent changed from February. But
many are growing more optimistic that
sales could pick up in the coming
months.
The National Association of Home
Builders/Wells Fargo said Monday that
its builder sentiment index stayed at 28,
the highest level since June 2007. The
flat reading followed five straight
increases.
Builders expressed more condence in
sales over the next six months. A sepa-
rate gauge measuring that outlook rose
in March for the sixth straight month,
from 34 to 36.
Even with the brighter outlook, the
industry has a long way to go. Any read-
ing below 50 indicates negative senti-
ment about the housing market. The
index hasnt reached 50 since April
2006, the peak of the housing boom.
A key reason homebuilders are more
optimistic is that they have seen more
people express interest in buying a
home. And growing interest has
occurred alongside other improvements
that suggest the troubled housing market
could pick up after four weak years.
Sales of previously occupied homes
rose in January to its highest level since
May 2010.
Adobe Systems posts
lower 1Q net income
SAN JOSE Adobe Systems Inc. said
Monday that its scal rst-quarter net
income fell 21 percent, weighed by high-
er operating costs even as revenue
climbed.
The midpoint of its earnings outlook
for the current quarter was slightly below
Wall Streets expectations and shares fell
after hours.
The company known for Photoshop
and other design software earned $185.2
million, or 37 cents per share, for the
three months that ended on March 2.
Thats down from $234.6 million, or 46
cents per share, in the same period a year
earlier. Excluding stock compensation
costs and other special charges, Adobe
earned 57 cents per share.
Revenue climbed 2 percent to $1.05
billion from $1.03 billion.
Safeway declares dividend,
ups buyback plan to $1 billion
PLEASANTON Grocery store
operator Safeway Inc. on Tuesday
declared its regular quarterly dividend of
14.5 cents.
The dividend is payable on April 12 to
shareholders of record on March 29.
Safeway, based in Pleasanton also
increased its share buyback program to
$1 billion, up from about $400 million
that had been remaining in the buyback
program. There is no expiration date on
the new authorization. Safeway operates
1,678 stores in the U.S. and Canada.
Its shares fell 51 cents, or 2.3 percent,
to close at $21.66. The shares have traded
in a 52-week range of $15.93 to $25.43.

Alex Smith

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STANFORD Andrew Luck is set to
become the NFLs No. 1 draft pick next
month. Stanford pitcher Mark Appel is the
likely rst choice in Junes amateur baseball
draft. Thats already guring to be quite a feat
for the school.
Add womens basketball star Nnemkadi
Ogwumike into the mix as the probable top
selection in the WNBA draft, and it very well
could be an impressive Cardinal three-fer.
Oddly enough, all three athletes happen to
be from the Houston area, though Appel
attended high school in the Bay Area.
If it happens, and thats a big if, thats a
real tribute to Stanford and the athletic pro-
gram, and a real tribute to the coaches that
they can go to a place like Houston for
Andrew and Nneka and get great kids to come
from 1,500 miles away, Lucks father, Oliver,
the athletic director at West Virginia, said
Monday before his schools womens basket-
ball team lost 72-55 to Ogwumike and top-
seeded Stanford in the second round of the
NCAA tournament at Norfolk.
A pair of Bay Area pros can relate to just
how special it is. Quarterback Alex Smith and

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Last spring
during the NFL lockout, Jim Harbaugh
handed over his playbook in good faith
to quarterback Alex Smith as a commit-
ment that the 49ers planned to bring him
back.
Harbaugh turned Smith into a steady
winner at last, a playmaker and playoff
star.
Smith still looks to be San Franciscos
man behind center, even after his coach
and team irted with Peyton Manning.
Smith had been weighing a three-year
offer from the Niners early last week
when Harbaugh and offensive coordina-
tor Greg Roman traveled to Duke to
work out Manning. For Smith, there
might be some hard feelings but
maybe not.
This guy has seen it all during his
seven-year NFL career after the 49ers
selected him with the No. 1 overall pick
out of Utah in 2005.
If Smith is offended by his coachs
brief courting of Manning, perhaps a
heart-to-heart sit-down could mend any
hurt feelings. After all, Harbaugh has
long declared his admiration for Smith,
who caddied for his coach during last
months Pebble Beach National Pro-
Am.
Its unclear whether Miami might up
the ante from the 49ers offer if Smith
decides to pursue other options. He met
with the Dolphins for 5 1/2 hours
Sunday.
Obviously I always wish him the
best, whatever he decides is best for his
career and his family, San Francisco
kicker David Akers said by phone
See SMITH, Page 12
W
ith Peyton Manning reportedly
set to join the Denver Broncos,
Alex Smith should fall in line
and re-sign with the 49ers so San Francisco
can get to work on getting better for the 2012
season.
The bottom line on the Manning versus
Smith debate is this: the 49ers are a Super
Bowl contender regardless which of those
two was the quarterback.
Despite the swear-
ing of allegiance to
Smith as the teams
starter, the 49ers
brass, at the last
minute, decided to
jump into the
Manning sweep-
stakes. The 49ers had
to be shocked when
an all-out bidding
war didnt develop
for a sure-re, hall of
fame quarterback
who is coming off
four neck surgeries.
When it didnt, it made good business sense
to check on what it would take to land
Manning even if almost smells of a pub-
licity stunt.
Think about it. While some 49ers fans
accused coach Jim Harbaugh of stabbing
Smith in the back, NFL experts believed
Harbaugh would be doing a disservice to the
franchise if he didnt kick the tires on
Manning.
By attending a workout last week, it made
the 49ers appear interested, with the knowl-
edge they were a longshot at best at landing
Mannings services. Harbaugh really believes
in Smith and wants to give him a shot to n-
ish what he started with the organization.

Monday. I think hes a great guy and a great player, obviously
he showed us what we needed as a team leader this year. Id love
to continue to play with him. Id love to play with a lot of guys
I dont get to. Thats part of the business. You just have to get
used to that.
While the 27-year-old Smith ew to Miami on Sunday, few
envision the free agent QB signing all the way across the coun-
try. He has long made it clear he would like to stay put with San
Francisco, and that could be even more true now that the Niners
added talented wideouts Randy Moss and Mario Manningham
last week to open up the eld.
Will Smith be the one throwing them the ball? That should all
be settled soon now that Manning has made his choice.
Manning and Smith both are represented by agent Tom Condon
of CAA Sports.
Smith has always said the right thing he even started to
sound like Harbaugh himself last season after working closely
with the former 15-year NFL quarterback when it comes to
the business side of football, so he might not blame Harbaugh
and general manager Trent Baalke for at least exploring the idea
of adding a player with the pedigree of four-time NFL MVP
Manning.
The 49ers were the only team among the three believed nal-
ists in the Manning chase that didnt publicly acknowledge their
interest, and it is believed their offer to Smith still stands. But
who knows whether they will give him a slight bump to the
reported $24 million contract after what Smith endured playing
the waiting game during the recent days.
Smith, who made $4.9 million in base salary last season and
then earned a $1 million bonus for reaching the playoffs, thrived
under Harbaugh and helped lead the franchise to its rst post-
season berth and winning record in nine years.
What a turnaround for the guy who had been relentlessly
booed by his home fans at Candlestick Park in previous years.
Harbaugh gave him a clean slate last season and the reins to the
offense.

Peyton Manning chooses Broncos, deal pending
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER The Denver Broncos got their
Man. Make that Peyton Manning.
Pending nal contract negotiations, Manning
will join John Elways
Broncos with hopes of
winning another Super
Bowl.
So much for
Tebowmania.
Still to be decided is
what happens to last sea-
sons quarterback sensa-
tion, Tim Tebow.
The Broncos and
Manning agent Tom
Condon spent Monday
working out parameters of a deal expected to
be worth about $95 million over ve years after
the NFLs only four-time MVP called Elway,
the Broncos revered QB-turned-executive, and
told him he had decided to come to Denver.
Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams also said
Manning let him know that he had picked the
Broncos. Adams released a statement Monday
conrming the Titans were out of the running
and later said to The Tennessean: He called
me himself and told me he wasnt coming, that
he made his mind up to go with Denver.
Besides the Titans, the San Francisco 49ers
had been a nalist in the chase for Manning,
who turns 36 on Saturday and missed all of
2011 because of multiple neck surgeries.
ESPN rst reported the record-setting quar-
terback instructed his agent to negotiate the
details of a deal with the Broncos, less than two
weeks after the Indianapolis Colts released him
rather than pay a $28 million bonus.
I think its a great place for him, Broncos
defensive end Robert Ayers said outside the
Broncos complex. I dont think he made a
bad decision. I think he made a great decision.
Hopefully we can prove him right and hopeful-
ly we can win a lot of games here.
Despite being sidelined all of last season,
Mannings success in the past the Colts
averaged a 12-4 record from 2001-10 made
him by far this offseasons top potential signing
and perhaps the most desired free agent ever.
He was wooed to Denver by Hall of Fame
quarterback Elway, who led the Broncos to two
Super Bowl championships and now serves as
their vice president of football operations.
Elway, who retired from the game after win-
ning his second straight title in 1999, never
sounded all that convinced Tebow was the
answer at the sports most important position
and now could trade the enormously popular
but awed QB.
Tebow energized the Broncos in leading
them to the playoffs last season and has fans
all over the country but his play was erratic.
I wouldnt say I feel bad for him, Ayers
said. Its a business. And Im pretty sure Tim
understands that. ... We wish him luck, no mat-
ter what he does. I hope hes here. Hes a great
leader, a great locker room guy.
Manning was cut loose March 7 by the Colts.
The move marked the end of an era, a 14-
year alliance between the team that drafted
Manning No. 1 overall and the QB who
brought Indianapolis from football irrelevance
to the 2007 Super Bowl title and a second
appearance in the NFL championship game
three years later.
But with Mannings rehab continuing, the
Colts decided it was time to rebuild from top to
bottom, and they are expected to take Stanford
quarterback Andrew Luck with the top pick in
Aprils draft.
Two days after standing alongside Colts
owner Jim Irsay at an emotional farewell news
conference, Manning began his free agency
tour in the place it was ending: Denver.
Manning landed on Tebows turf with all the
trappings of star treatment own to town on
a chartered plane, then spending the day with
Elway, coach John Fox and general manager
Brian Xanders.
From there, Manning crisscrossed the coun-
try in search of a new team, as various clubs
courted a guy with more than 50,000 yards
passing, nearly 400 touchdowns and 11 Pro
Bowl selections.
After Denver, next up was a meeting with
the Arizona Cardinals, and he also spent time
speaking with or throwing for the
Titans, 49ers and Miami Dolphins.

Raiders sign Spencer and Carlisle
ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders
signed cornerback Shawntae Spencer to a
one-year deal Monday and also brought back
guard Cooper Carlisle less than a week after
cutting him.
Spencer was released last week after eight
seasons with the San Francisco 49ers and
quickly found a new home across the bay with
the Raiders, who were looking to bolster their
depleted secondary.
Shawntae looked at the opportunities and
options and thought the Oakland Raiders were
the best situation for him, said his agent,
Peter Schaffer. He was very impressed with
the coaching staff and is very excited to be an
Oakland Raider.
Spencer is already familiar with Oaklands
new defensive coordinator, Jason Tarver, who
was a defensive assistant for most of
Spencers tenure with the 49ers.
Spencer started 72 games his rst seven
years for San Francisco, including all 32 in
2009-10.
A lot of people are making a big deal
about Smith visiting with the Miami
Dolphins, but Smith is smart. He was just
covering his bases. Even he had to feel the
team was making only a tepid run at
Manning, but Smith wanted to make sure he
landed on his feet somewhere else, just in
case the football gods got together and
inspired Manning and the 49ers to strike a
whirlwind deal.
Besides, from strictly a business stand-
point, Smith has to realize his best chance at
winning now is with San Francisco. He
knows how close the 49ers got to the Super
Bowl last year and, with a bulk of the last
years roster returning especially on
defense Smith signing elsewhere would
be a big ip of the bird to the Niners, who
jerked him around a lot more often than not.
But if you want to really look at the moves
that bolstered the 49ers Super Bowl resume,
see the receiving position. Until the team
brought in legitimate NFL-caliber wideouts,
it didnt matter if Smith or Manning was
throwing, there was no one to catch.
Say what you want about Randy Moss (too
old, too petulant) and Mario Manningham
(not enough production for the hype), you
have to admit they are an upgrade over the
likes of Ted Ginn Jr., Kyle Williams and
Brett Swaim (remember, him?).
Michael Crabtree doesnt appear to be a
true No. 1 wideout, but he could do plenty of
damage underneath with Moss stretching the
eld.
What did Manningham do to the 49ers in
the NFC Championship game with the New
York Giants? Four catches and a touchdown?
That was more production than the entire
49ers receiving corps had in the game. Put
Manningham on the 49ers for the day and
the Niners are facing off against New
England in the Super Bowl.
With an upgrade of weapons and expect
more receivers coming via the draft Smith
should have the arsenal to make the 49ers a
major player again in the NFL.
On the other hand, Manning probably
believes it cant get better than Denver right
now. The Broncos defense might be just a
notch below the 49ers, but its still light years
better than anything Manning had in
Indianapolis. More importantly, Broncos leg-
end John Elway is running the show in
Denver. Believe it or not, these two were
once contemporaries, with Elway at the end
of his championship years and Manning just
beginning his in 1998.
Manning essentially did whatever he want-
ed in the play-calling department offensively
with the Colts. I have a feeling Elway all but
guaranteed Manning can run the offense as
he sees t. Of course, there is the money
$95 million over ve years. I cant imagine
the 49ers would come even close to matching
those numbers.
And then there is the most important rea-
son of all: Peyton Manning sincerely did not
want to play in the NFC and stand in his
brother Elis way of winning more Super
Bowls.
While the debate raged over the weekend
over whether the 49ers should sign Manning
or Smith, I think the real answer is: they
cant really go wrong either way.

newly acquired Golden State Warriors big
man Andrew Bogut are connected forever
based on both being picked No. 1 from the
same school the same year: in 2005 out of
Utah.
Thats amazing, Stanford womens bas-
ketball coach Tara VanDerveer said of the
possibility the Cardinal could do it with three
athletes in the coming months.
As former Colts star and four-time NFL
MVP Peyton Manning moved toward a deal
with the Denver Broncos on Monday, his
expected replacement in Indianapolis two-
time Heisman Trophy runner-up Luck pre-
pared to show off his skills at Stanfords pro
day on Thursday.
Stanford athletic director Bob Bowlsby
doesnt want to get his hopes up when it
comes to the unpredictability of professional
sports drafts.
If it works out, it would certainly be quite
remarkable, Bowlsby said. We are very
proud to have such high performers within our
programs and we are pleased that they project
high achievement at the next level as well.
Appel, Stanfords hard-throwing 6-foot-5
Friday night starter, is 2-1 with a 3.19 ERA
with 40 strikeouts to 10 walks through his rst
four starts for the Cardinal, who are off until
Saturday for nals week.
Earlier this month before a game against
Rice, Luck threw out the rst pitch as Appel
stood in as catcher.
It says a lot about those two athletes. Luck
is very special and Mark Appel is special
also, Cardinal baseball coach Mark
Marquess said. Theyre both very humble,
very strong academically and impressive
young men. Were very proud of that. A lot
has to happen with the baseball. Luck, his job
is done. I think the thing with Mark Appel that
doesnt change in pro baseball, whether he
wins 12 games or four games, is 97-98 mph.
Whether hell be the rst one or not, hell be
in the top three or four because he has a
tremendous fastball. He has other things, too.
Hes a great competitor. Its exciting. Its a
great time for Stanford.
Ogwumike has plenty to accomplish before
she turns her attention to the WNBA draft.
Shes trying to lead the second-ranked
Cardinal to a fth consecutive Final Four and
elusive national title. Stanford hasnt won an
NCAA championship since 1992.
She is a big fan of Luck, and has followed
Appels success, too.
I think it would just represent the greatness
of our school, Ogwumike said. Our school
doesnt just bring in great athletes, but great
people. I havent had the pleasure of meeting
Mark Appel but Im good friends with
Andrew and hes the sweetest guy one could
ever meet, not to mention one of them most
talented football players in the country.
I think that would be really, really great if
that even happened. Not a lot of schools can
say that ever happened to them.
And Ogwumike has a huge supporter in
sophomore sister and teammate, Chiney.
Stanford has just really put their athletes in

PICK
PAL teams take to the diamond
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Will this weeks action to begin the
Peninsula Athletic League softball season
mark the changing of the guard?
That is the question as the PAL begins its
league play this week. And the Carlmont soft-
ball team will get the rst crack at two-time
defending Bay champions Hillsdale today at
the home of the seven-time CCS title winners
in Belmont.
The Scots appear to be the odds-on favorite
to win their 28th PAL division title, but their
rst since 2009.
We have a pretty good group of girls,
Carlmont coach Jim Liggett told the Daily
Journal last week. I think all our kids, with
the exception of a couple, have played at the
varsity level.
Four of the eight returners are either fresh-
men or sophomores, giving them all at least
one season of varsity experience under their
belts. The Scots are off to a 7-1 start.
Hillsdale will try to adjust to life without
Jordan Richwood, who was the face of the
Knights during her tenure. In the circle will be
Dani Fonseca, who some believe can be just
as dominant as the two-time Daily Journal
Softball Player of the Year.
Tuesdays game is scheduled for a 4 p.m.
start.
Elsewhere on the softball docket, Aragon
will open at Capuchino and Burlingame heads
to Half Moon Bay.
In the Ocean Division openers on
Wednesday, Menlo-Atherton will be
Woodsides rst PAL test after the Wildcats
steamrolled through the preseason schedule.
Last years surprise team, San Mateo, heads to
Redwood City to take on Sequoia, while Mills
is back in the Ocean after one season in the
Bay and faces South San Francisco. Two old
rivals, El Camino and Jefferson, wrap up the
opening-day schedule.
Staying on the girls side of things, two old
lacrosse rivals collide this week when Menlo
and Menlo-Atherton tangle on Tuesday. The
Knights are the reigning WBAL champions,
going a perfect 8-0 last season.
M-A struggled, nishing six games behind
Menlo in standings. But they always have a
little something in the tank for the Knights.
The game is scheduled for a 4 p.m. start.
The Knights wont be quite done with their
rivals though. On Friday, Menlo heads up
Valparaiso to face longtime nemesis Sacred
Heart Prep. The Gators nished two games
behind the Knights last season.
In boys tennis, the rackets should be swing-
ing following a week of limited activity
because of the weather.
Sequoia continues its impressive run
through the PAL Ocean Division, standing
now at 4-0 with matches against South City
and Oceana scheduled for the week (those
teams are a combined 2-4).
By virtue of its win against El Camino last
week, Menlo-Atherton has a half-game lead
on the rest of the bunch in the Bay Division at
the seasons midway point.
Carlmont, Burlingame and Aragon sit at 3-
1.
The Dons and Panthers will shufe that
order around when they meet on Thursday.
But before then, Aragon can make a gigantic
statement in its match against Carlmont. The
Scots are one of favorites this season and the
Dons have a lot of potential and promise. A
win for Aragon would be more than huge.
On the baseball diamond, its shaping up to
be a big week for the boys from Serra.
On Tuesday, the Padres will try to bounce
back from a tough 1-0 loss to St. Ignatius
when they take on Archbishop Mitty.
Playing on the road again, the Padres
dropped its second straight one-run game in
their loss to the Wildcats on Monday.
Andrew Garcia and Blake Peters combined
on a three-hitter, but the Padre bats were only
able to muster one hit of their own.
After Tuesdays game against the
Monarchs, the Padres travel to Mountain View
for a showdown against nationally ranked St.
Francis, 10-0 on the year.
Serra is 4-5 overall and now 0-2 to start
WCAL play.
PAL Ocean Division gets cracking on
Tuesday, with a full slate of games.
Aragon heads over to Mills while Westmoor
travels south to face San Mateo. The game to
watch is Woodsides matchup with Jefferson
at the home of the Indians. Jefferson took its
gigantic lumps last season in their bounce-
back year following an absence from PAL
play. Jefferson, behind the coaching of Cesar
Vega, has tasted more success already this
year that all of last season. But Woodside will
be their rst true test. Rounding out Ocean
play, South San Francisco visits Sequoia. All
games are scheduled for 4 p.m.
The Bay Division joins the fun on
Wednesday and things begin with a doozie.
Carlmont sinks their spikes into Washington
Park for a game against Burlingame. Both are
expected to contend for a Bay title.
In other action, Terra Nova makes the long
trip to Menlo-Atherton to face the Bears.
Reigning Bay champion El Camino has a lit-
tle trip of its own when it goes down to Half
Moon Bay. The Hillsdale Knights take on the
Mustangs of Capuchino.
CSM takes
down rivals
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Two San Mateo County rivals, two impres-
sive wins for the CSM baseball team.
A couple of days after a marvelous pitching
performance from ace Clay Bauer, College of
San Mateo pounded out 10 runs on 10 hits to
beat Skyline 10-2 Monday afternoon.
Last Saturday, CSM defeated Caada
College 4-2.
Mondays game against the Trojans was a
make-up after rain canceled the matchup last
week.
The game was tight in its early parts, with
the score notched at one-all going into the fth
inning.
It was then that Bo Walter bunted home
Mike Kathan in for a 2-1 lead.
CSM added two more in the frame and
never looked back, with most of the damage
done in sixth, when the Bulldogs scored six
runs.
Freshman Andrew Herrera got his rst win
for the Bulldogs, pitching 3 1/3 innings of
relief. He struck out three and allowed just one
hit and one walk after coming on in the fourth
inning with the bases loaded and two outs and
getting Skylines Cory Faubel to groundout
back to the pitcher.
Skyline had taken a 1-0 lead in the top of the
rst that held up until the fourth inning.
Kathan was 3 for 4 in the game and scored
two runs.
The Trojans managed only ve hits.
Last Saturday, Bauer turned in perhaps his

best pitching performance of the season to
lead CSM over Caada.
The sophomore ace had 11 strikeouts (to tie
for the Golden Gate Conference season lead
with 44) and only walked the nal batter he
faced in 7 2/3 innings of action. He allowed
one earned run while on the mound and was
responsible for a second after leaving. Dylan
Nelson got his second save of the year, shut-
ting down the Colts after allowing that nal
run to score in the seventh.
Golden Gate leader CSM (13-7, 6-1) started
the Coast crossover game with four hits to
score three runs as it turned it out, it was all
they would need. Brandon Defazio Walter sin-
gled, Joseph Armstrong tripled them home
and then scored on Cody Zimmermans sin-
gle.
Armstrong went 2 for 4 at the plate to raise
his team-leading season average to .385,
fourth best in the Golden Gate Conference.
Defazio, Walter and Hurley also had two hits
apiece for the Bulldogs. Trevin Craig added
an RBI double in the fth to score Hurley.
In womens softball action, the Bulldogs are
back after a weeks rest on Wednesday when
they travel to Gavilan for a 3 p.m. showdown.
CSM is on a nine-game winning streak,
their second such stretch of softball this sea-
son. Both are the longest for Coach Nicole
Borg at San Mateo.
Michele Pilster is fresh off her 16th win of
the season in a game against San Jose City
College. Her total is good for the second-most
wins in the state. She is 16-2.
She struck out seven and walked just one,
giving up one earned run in the bottom of the
seventh. Selina Rodriguez had a home run,
going 2 for 4 at the plate with two RBI and
two runs scored.
Jamie Navarro also homered.
Menlos Tim Tatum Named
a 2nd Team All-American
The NAIA DII Mens Basketball All-
American list was announced on Monday and
Menlo Colleges Tim Tatum took home a 2nd
Team All-American honor.
The senior from Vacaville dominated dur-
ing his nal campaign with the Oaks, averag-
ing 15.3 points per game while leading the
conference with 10.3 rebounds to earn the
California Pacic Conference Player of the
Year award.
Tatum also recorded 12 double-doubles this
year while his 10.3 boards per game were
good enough for eighth in the nation.
The 6-6 forward ends his storied two-year
Menlo career as a two-time Cal Pac rst team-
er.
Tatums 8.3 career rebounds puts him sec-
ond on the programs all-time list while his
299 boards in 2011-12 shatter the all-time sin-
gle season mark of 221.

CSM
Dubs retire Mullins No. 17
KELLY COX/REUTERS
Former Warrior Chris Mullin speaks to the media before his #17 jersey is retired prior the game.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND Chris Mullin didnt think
hed see his No. 17 Golden State jersey hang-
ing from the rafters at Oracle Arena, not after
a bitter parting with the Warriors three years
ago.
But, Mullin has found a way to overcome a
lot during his life and Hall of Fame basketball
career.
Mullin was to be honored as part of a half-
time ceremony during Monday nights game
between Golden State and the Minnesota
Timberwolves.
The former St. Johns star who went on to
become a ve-time All-Star after entering the
NBA as a rst-round pick in 1985 was having
too much fun remembering his playing days
and joking with former teammates than to get
caught up in a discussion about any lingering
resentment he may have toward his former
employers.
Wearing a dark-colored suit with a light
blue and yellow tie, Mullin smiled as he
recalled spending hours in the gym after prac-
tice with Mitch Richmond and Tim Hardaway,
each player trying to one-up the other no mat-
ter what the drill was.
The trio formed the famed Run-TMC
combination which was the centerpiece for the
Warriors run-and-gun style under coach Don
Nelson in the late 1980s and early 90s.
Cal must crash the boards
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Cal corrals
rebounds at a dizzying rate and the Golden
Bears will need that strong board play and
plenty of poise if they have any chance of
upsetting top-seeded Notre Dame in the sec-
ond round of the NCAA tournament.
Cal had a 13.2 average rebounding edge over
opponents this season and the Golden Bears
beat Iowa 41-29 on the boards in their NCAA
opener over the weekend, including a whop-
ping 19-7 edge on the offensive glass during a
10-point victory.
The Golden Bears need to grab one more
rebound Tuesday to set the programs single-
season record (theyve tied the record 1,558 set
in 1980-81). They are also averaging nearly 46
rebounds per game.
Notre Dame had little trouble on the boards
against Liberty another team with a strong
rebounding margin but the more talented
Golden Bears have three tall and aggressive
players inside in 6-2 Gennifer Brandon, 6-3
Talia Caldwell and 6-3 Reshanda Gray.
We still have to do our fundamentals box
out, go after it and check your opponent,
Caldwell said. Well see if its more difcult
tomorrow. I think if we do our fundamentals
weve learned all season we can do just as well
as we have been doing.
Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said the
Irish are going to need contributions from
everyone in what is basically a four-guard
offense.
I think they are a better rebounding team
than Liberty, just so much more athletic, so
much faster, bigger, stronger, McGraw said.
Its scary watching them rebound. Weve got
to get everybody in there to help. I dont think
were going to be able to rely on one person.
Notre Dames biggest starter, 6-2 Devereaux
Peters, said the Irish will have to beat the
Golden Bears to the ball. Its that simple.
They have some pretty big posts and are
pretty athletic and obviously crash the boards a
lot, she said. Well probably use our quick-
ness a little bit more tomorrow since they have
some bigger girls.
Cal coach Lindsay Gottlieb knows the
Golden Bears must keep Notre Dame from
jumping out fast behind its loud home crowd,
something Liberty couldnt do when it fell
behind 11-0 in the rst two minutes and never
caught up during a 74-43 loss Sunday.
The Golden Bears hope to make Notre Dame
take difcult shots and will have to send their
post players to the perimeter to defend the 3-
point shot.
Cal (25-9) played a tough schedule, losing
three times to No. 2 Stanford, once in overtime
at Palo Alto by three points. They were beaten
convincingly in the other two meetings, includ-
ing a 15-point loss in the nals of the Pac-12
tournament.
The Golden Bears also played at Rutgers to
open the season and faced Ohio State at home
both close losses but they are used to
boisterous crowds.
I think that allows our players to go in with
the mentality that theyve been-there, done-
that a little bit. Obviously Notre Dame pro-
vides unique challenges but thats what I like
about our team, Gottlieb said of a mix of vet-
erans and freshmen, including starting point
guard Brittany Boyd.

OAKLAND Kevin Love
banked in a 16-foot jumper with 4
minutes left, then added an insur-
ance tip-in off a miss by J.J. Barea
to help the Minnesota
Timberwolves keep their dimming
playoff hopes alive with a 97-93
win over the Golden State Warriors
on Monday night.
Love finished with 36 points and
17 rebounds for his 39th double-
double of the season. Luke Ridnour
added 11 points and 10 assists,
while Anthony Tolliver scored 10
points off the bench, all in the
fourth quarter for the
Timberwolves.
Minnesota (23-24) snapped a
three-game los-
ing streak with
the win and
moved within 1
1/2 games of
Houston for the
eighth spot in
the Western
Conference.
David Lee

who remained winless since trad-
ing leading scorer Monta Ellis to

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE Bobby Ryan had a
goal and two assists and Jeff
Deslauriers won in his rst game in
more than two months as the
Anaheim Ducks dealt a blow to San
Joses playoff hopes with a 5-3 vic-
tory over the Sharks on Monday
night.
Francois Beauchemin, Corey
Perry, Nate Guenin and Kyle
Palmieri also scored and Nick
Bonino had a career-high three
assists for the last-place Ducks, who
had lost ve of six.
Marty Havlat, Ryane Clowe and
Joe Pavelski scored for the Sharks,
who missed a golden opportunity to
improve their playoff positioning on
a night their rivals were idle.
San Jose entered the night in ninth
place in the Western Conference but
could have moved into third posi-
tion by taking the Pacic Division
lead with a win. Their chances
looked good against a struggling
Ducks team on the back end of
back-to-backs starting a goalie who
hadnt played an NHL game since
Jan. 10.
The Sharks struck rst but twice
allowed Anaheim to score the shift
after a San Jose goal to lose for the
third time in three home games this
season against the Ducks.
The Sharks have little margin for
error if they want to avoid missing
the playoffs for the rst time since
the 2002-03 season.
San Jose is one point behind divi-
sion leaders Dallas and Phoenix,
with a game in hand over the
Coyotes, and a point behind
Colorado as well with two games in
hand. The Avalanche and Coyotes
are tied for seventh in the confer-
ence.
The Sharks fell behind in a lack-
luster second period, giving up the
lead when Perry outraced Havlat
and Marc-Edouard Vlasic to knock
in the rebound of Ryan Getzlafs
breakaway attempt.

TOULOUSE, France A gun-
man on a motorbike opened re
Monday at a Jewish school, killing a
rabbi and his two young sons as
they waited for a bus, then chased
down a 7-year-old girl, shooting her
dead at point-blank range. It was the
latest in a series of attacks on
minorities that have raised fears of a
racist killer on the loose.
Authorities said the same
weapon, a powerful .45-caliber
handgun, was used in two other
recent shootings in southwestern
France, also involving an assailant
who fled by motorbike. Those
attacks left three people dead
military paratroopers of North
African and Caribbean origin.
The shootings echoed across a
nation that has been focused on an
upcoming presidential race in which
issues about religious minorities
and race have gained prominence.
President Nicolas Sarkozy facing
a hard re-election battle raised
the terrorism alert level in the region
to its highest level, while also not-
ing a possible racist motive.
This act is despicable, it cannot
go unpunished, Sarkozy said in a
prime-time address to the nation.
Each time this man acts, he acts to
kill, giving his victims no chance.
Mondays attack was as quick and
methodical as it was terrifying.
At around 8 a.m., with more than
100 students and other worshippers
inside a synagogue adjoining the
Ozar Hatorah school, the gunman
coolly got off his motor scooter. He
opened re at 30-year-old Jonathan
Sandler, a rabbi who taught at the
school, and his sons, 4-year-old
Gabriel and 5-year-old Arieh, while
they waited for a bus to a Jewish
primary school across town.
As the shots rang out, panicked
students darted inside the school
grounds and the attacker chased
them, witnesses said. At one point,
he grabbed the principals 7-year-
old daughter, Miriam Monsonego,
by her hair, shot her in the head and
ed.
Cries of, There are shots! there
are shots! rang out in the syna-
gogue, recalled a 29-year-old neigh-
bor who gave only his rst name,
Baroukh. He said some children
took refuge in a basement.
Nicole Yardeni, a local Jewish
ofcial who saw security video of
the attack, described the shooter as
determined, athletic and well-
toned.

WASHINGTON Mitt Romney
may lead in delegates and Rick
Santorum might have momentum,
but neither of the two leading
Republican presidential candidates is
having an easy time exciting even his
own voters.
Out of a dozen states where voters
in the GOP contest have been polled,
most Romney voters have said they
strongly favor him in just ve of
them. A majority of Santorum voters
felt that committed to him only four
times out of 11 states where he was
on the ballot and voters were sur-
veyed.
Each man is struggling to consis-
tently spark the intensity that could
separate him from the pack.
Consider that Arizona is the only
state where
Romney had a
higher propor-
tion of voters
e x p r e s s i n g
strong feelings
about him than
his rivals did.
And Santorum
hasnt had that
edge in any state
yet, despite an animated campaign
style and passion for hot-button
social issues like contraception that
have contrasted with Romneys
stiffer, more analytic manner.
On average, 50 percent of Romney
voters and 49 percent of Santorums
say they strongly favor their candi-
date, with the rest expressing reserva-
tions about their man or a greater dis-
like for his rivals, according to
entrance and exit polls of voters in 12
states.
When it comes
to winning fer-
vent devotion
from his own
supporters, both
men trail former
House Speaker
Newt Gingrich
and Texas Rep.
Ron Paul. Those
two GOP presidential campaigns are
lagging but 58 percent of Gingrichs
backers and 53 percent of Pauls, on
average, say they strongly favor their
candidate. Analysts say higher per-
centages of devoted supporters are
common with candidates whose less-
er backing leaves them with only the
most committed followers.
Republican operatives express con-
cern about Romney and Santorum.
They say the gures raise questions
about how quickly the GOP will be
able to end its drawn-out slugfest and
begin generating voter enthusiasm
for a nominee to challenge President
Barack Obama in November.
At this point in the game, you
should be drawing the troops toward
you. The intensity about you should
be pretty strong, said Mike
McKenna, a Republican consultant
not working for any of the con-
tenders.
Political professionals generally
consider intensity of support a key
ingredient to a winning campaign.
Such enthusiasm can help pave the
way for everything from yard signs to
campaign contributions to voters who
show up on Election Day.
Motivation is the name of the
game in trying to get people to the
polls, said Josh Putnam, a political
scientist at Davidson University.

Avalanche kills five
foreign tourists in Norway
OSLO, Norway Five people
were killed and one person was
dug out alive after Swiss and
French skiers were buried by an
avalanche Monday on Norways
Arctic fringe.
Rescuers located the victims
through beacons from their radio
transceivers, but only the first per-
son they found survived, a Swiss
man who was taken to a local hos-
pital in stable condition.
A 1-kilometer (3,000-foot) wall
of snow came crashing down on
the skiers on Sorbmegaisa moun-
tain, 65 kilometers (40 miles) east
of the northern city of Tromsoe,
police spokesman Morten
Pettersen said. The last victim was
found buried under 6 meters (20
feet) of snow.

WASHINGTON Lindsay Porters kid-
neys were failing rapidly when a friend
offered to donate one of his. Then she made
an unusual request: Would he donate part of
his immune system, too?
Every day for the rest of their lives, trans-
plant recipients must swallow handfuls of
pills to keep their bodies from rejecting a
donated organ. The Chicago woman hoped to
avoid those problematic drugs, enrolling in a
study to try to trick her own immune system
into accepting a foreign kidney.
Its one of a series of small, high-stakes
experiments around the country that has
researchers hopeful that theyre nally closing
in on how to help at least some transplant
patients go drug-free. The key: Create a sort
of twin immunity, by transplanting some of
the kidney donors immune-producing cells
along with the new organ.
Im so lucky, says the 47-year-old Porter,
who stumbled across the research at
Chicagos Northwestern University. Porter
was able to quit her pills last summer, a year
after her transplant, and says, I feel amaz-
ing.
These experiments are a big gamble. If the
technique fails, patients could lose their new
kidney, possibly their lives. Doctors stress that
no one should try quitting anti-rejection drugs
on their own.
Why risk it even in a careful scientic
study? Anti-rejection medications can cause
debilitating, even deadly, side effects, from
fatigue and infections to an increased risk of
cancer and kidney damage.
Without the drugs, the hope for me is Im
able to keep this kidney for the rest of my
life, Porter says.
Across the country, Stanford University is
testing a slightly different transplant method
and hosted a reunion earlier this month for
about a dozen kidney recipients whove been

drug-free for up to three years.
These people who are off their drugs,
theyre cured, says Dr. Samuel Strober, who
leads the study of Stanfords approach. If
they have to be on drugs the rest of their life,
it doesnt have the same meaning of cure.
Anti-rejection drugs work by ratcheting
down the immune system, suppressing it from
attacking foreign cells. For decades, scientists
have sought ways to eliminate the need for the
drugs by inducing whats called tolerance
getting one persons immune system to live in
harmony with another persons tissue.
The experimental approach: Transplant the
seeds of a new immune system along with a
new kidney. Its the 21st-century version of a
bone marrow transplant, and possible for now
only if the transplanted kidney comes from a
living donor.
How does it work? Doctors cull immune
system-producing stem cells and other immu-
nity cells from the donors bloodstream. They
blast transplant patients with radiation and
medications to wipe out part of their own
bone marrow, far more grueling than a regular
kidney transplant. That makes room for the
donated cells to squeeze in and take root, cre-
ating a sort of hybrid immunity that scientists
call chimerism, borrowing a page from
mythology.
In pilot studies of a few dozen patients,
Massachusetts General Hospital, Stanford and
a team from Northwestern and the University
of Louisville all have reported successfully
weaning many, but not all, of their initial par-
ticipants off anti-rejection drugs.
But each team uses slightly different meth-
ods, and its far from clear which might work
best. For example, Mass General patients
were weaned off drugs even though their
hybrid immunity didnt last while it per-
sisted for years in the other studies. That
might be because researchers transplanted dif-
ferent mixes of cells, or because different pre-
transplant treatments may alter how the
patients body reacts.
The question is whether the transplant
approach can be made easier and more reli-
able, said Dr. Laurence Turka of Bostons
Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital, who isnt
involved in those trials.
Were at the very early phase of something
that has generated a lot of excitement in the
scientic community, says Turka, who also is
deputy director of the Immune Tolerance
Network, a consortium founded by the
National Institutes of Health to spur the eld.
It has tremendous potential moving forward.
Whether it will live up to its potential remains
unknown.
Stay tuned:
This may not be the only approach. At
Emory University, Dr. Kenneth Newell is
compiling a registry of truly rare patients
kidney recipients who somehow survive
despite quitting the pills on their own because
they couldnt afford them or because of side
effects. Hes only discovered about three
dozen so far. Researchers are testing them for
biological markers that might explain why
they fared well and who else is a good candi-
date and have found clues that a complete-
ly separate part of the immune system plays a
role.
Continued from page 17
IMMUNITY
To help figure that out, researchers are
beginning some new experiments:
Rather than treating only new transplant
patients, the Northwestern-Louisville team
is about to begin a pilot study
transplanting donor immune cells to
people years after they received their new
kidney as long as their long-ago organ
donors still are alive and willing to provide
those cells.
Stanford is testing only people with well-
matched donors, and hopes later this year
to begin the first larger, multi-hospital
study of that population. It also is about to
begin testing its method in people with
poorly-matched donors, like those studied
by Northwestern and Mass General.Thats
important because so many transplant
patients lack a well-matched kidney.
Mass Generals study is set to restart soon
after some changes to minimize side
effects.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Now heres a tag team
for the ages: Richard Nixon, Mitt Romney,
Barack Obama.
The arc of history joins all three in the cause
of universal health care, a goal promoted by
Nixon four decades ago and advanced in laws
enacted by Romney and Obama in turn. So
where are the high ves between the president
and the former Massachusetts governor?
The most signicant health care law since
Medicare gets barely a shout-out from Obama.
And when Romney must talk about the law he
won in Massachusetts, its because someones
got him on the defensive in the Republican
presidential primary campaign.
Big health care reform turns out not to be
very popular and actually unhealthy for the
candidates who did it, says Robert Blendon, a
Harvard professor who tracks public opinion
on the subject.
The Supreme Court will decide if the new
federal health care overhaul or any part of it is
unconstitutional after arguments next week. If
the law that Republican opponents call
Obamacare survives, Romneycare will
stand in the history books as a guidepost for it,
hardly the rst time a state has served as a lab-
oratory for national social policy.
The federal and Massachusetts laws share
much, including a requirement that individuals
carry health insurance, a provision that taxpay-
ers provide help for those who cant afford it
and protections against denial of coverage. And
ObamaRomneycare shares more with Nixons
never-implemented approach an insurance
system anchored in the private market with a
hefty government safety net than with the
Clinton administration initiative that collapsed
in the 1990s under the weight of its own com-
plexity and reach.
Obama and Romney are not overly modest
men, but you might think so when it comes to
this subject.
Health care got two sentences in Obamas
State of the Union speech, one more than he
devoted to an unfair-trade case against Chinese
tires. Romney sticks to the Republican line that
Obamas law must be repealed, and gives so-so
reviews of his own law. Some things worked,
some things didnt, and some things Id
change, he says when pressed.
Stuart Altman has been in the thick of it all
as a health policy economist who advised
Nixon in the 1970s and four more presidents of
both parties since. He also co-chaired a
Massachusetts task force on health policy in
the prelude to Romneys initiative.
Poor Romney, he has to run away from it,
Altman said, simply because Republicans have
made it their refrain that Obamacare must
go, and Romneys plan cant easily be divorced
from it.
While Obamas not running away from it,
hes not actively selling it, and from my point
of view thats unfortunate, said Altman, who
supports the law. It needs a very substantial
champion. It needs some substantial selling.
Right now the negatives are outweighing the
positives, in terms of sales, by about 100 to 1.
In a dozen speeches or remarks in public set-
tings last month, Obama spoke not a word
about the law, even as his administration
churned out press releases about its benets.
But he does sell the initiative to crowds that
have already bought it: Its a standard
applause-generator in his remarks to
Democratic fundraisers.
The crucial difference between the Romney
and Obama plans is the most obvious: One is
state, the other is federal. Romney argues that
states must be free to draw up their own plans
to expand health coverage and the feds have no
business imposing a national solution, a point
at the center of the Supreme Court case.
Moreover, the federal law is designed to be
paid for in part by cutting money from
Medicare, which creates political opposition
that states wouldnt face.
But both penalize people who dont buy
insurance and businesses that dont offer it to
employees, with exceptions for the smallest
companies. They both rely on new health
insurance marketplaces, called exchanges in
the federal law, to give individuals outside the
employer-supported insurance system a choice
of plans. Both laws subsidize workplace-based
insurance and coverage for people making well
above the poverty level, not just the poorest.
Romney acknowledged the similarities in a
less politically charged time for him, during his
2010 book tour, and praised the individual
insurance mandate that, for conservatives, has
become the most contentious part of the over-
haul. Speaking to the Emory University student
newspaper, he said of Obama: And some of
the best features of his health care plan are like
ours such as, we do not allow insurance
companies to drop people who develop illness-
es, our insurance is entirely portable, virtually
all of our citizens are insured and there is an
individual responsibility for getting insurance.
He went on to criticize the one-size-ts-all
solution from Washington and emphasized his
preference for plans devised by each state.
Romneys law is credited with expanding
coverage but not controlling costs, which it did
not set out explicitly to do. Public opinion sur-
veys in Massachusetts consistently suggest it is
well regarded, and there has been no serious
effort to roll it back.
Its almost as if were discussing poll results
from a separate country, Blendon says.
And the state law has an advantage over the
federal one in winning public support: the pas-
sage of time.
In Massachusetts, in the sixth year of the
program, it would be very hard to envision that
were going to take away insurance coverage
from all the people who got coverage and say
lets go back to six years ago, Blendon said.
In contrast, people have been slow to see the
benets of Obamas law or to experience
any downside because the bulk of it does
not kick in until 2014.

The companys shareholders, not
ratepayers, should pay for the xes,
Mark Toney, executive director at The
Utility Reform Network, told the Daily
Journal.
TURN and Assemblyman Jerry Hill,
D-San Mateo, held a press conference
outside a hearing in San Francisco yes-
terday to pressure CPUC ofcials to
have PG&E come up with another way
to pay for improvements to the system
since it was negligent in keeping it safe.
CPUC could order PG&E sharehold-
ers to pay for this, Toney said yesterday.
Under PG&Es Pipeline Safety
Enhancement Plan the CPUC is current-
ly reviewing, the utility could also reap a
nearly $1.5 billion prot in return for
making the capital investment. The
CPUC is conducting an evidentiary
hearing on the PG&E plan and commis-
sioners are not set to make a decision on
it any time soon, said CPUC spokesman
Chris Chow.
The plan has customers paying for
about 95 percent of the cost to x the
utilitys aging infrastructure over a 50-
year period. Deciencies to PG&Es
pipelines were exposed after a natural
gas pipe exploded in San Bruno in
September 2010 that killed eight and
destroyed nearly 40 homes.
PG&Es bid to pretend San Bruno
never happened is doubly self-serving,
in that the company will reap huge prof-
its from pipeline safety investments,
Toney said. PG&E failed to manage
and operate a safe gas transmission
pipeline system even though they had
the money to do so and even though the
company was booking generous prots.
For each $1 in pipe the company
places in the ground under its safety
plan, ratepayers would pay more than
$3.50, according to Hills ofce.
PG&E customers pay their gas utility
bill each month assuming theyre getting
a safe, well-managed service. They
shouldnt have to pay PG&E 50 years of
higher utility bills for service they
should have been receiving all along,
Hill said.
The utility has nearly 5,800 miles of
gas transmission pipes in the state it
plans to have assessed by the end of
2015. Its safety plan calls for pipeline
modernization and installing automated
valves in highly-populated areas as well
as to consolidate its pipeline records
electronically.
The utilitys new safety program is a
result of new regulatory requirements
that are unparalleled in the country,
according to a policy paper presented to
CPUC ofcials by PG&E.
If the CPUC approves PG&Es plan,
rates will go up in 2012 by 4.26 percent,
according to the policy paper.
But Toney contends the new regulato-
ry requirements are based on PG&Es
past failings.
The San Bruno tragedy shined a light
on PG&Es entire system, Toney said.
The systemwide problems were
found by the National Transportation
Safety Board after San Bruno, Toney
said.
The $70 million settlement PG&E just
made with the city of San Bruno was
paid for by shareholders and not ratepay-
ers, Toney said. Shareholders should
also pay for improvements to the overall
system, he said.
Ratepayers cannot be billed for utility
errors and omissions, Toney said.

San Mateo County has one of the
largest Tongan populations outside of
Tonga with about 13,000 living locally.
About 57,000 Tongans live in the United
States, according to the U.S. Census.
The total population of Tongas 171
South Pacific islands is only about
105,000.
He was the rst king to bring democ-
racy to the islands. We are all very sad
about his death, said Malissa Netane,
Pacic Islander Community Facilitator
at the Peninsula Conflict Resolution
Center. The PCRCs Tongan Interfaith
Council works closely with local gov-
ernment and nonprofit agencies to
ensure the immigrant communitys basic
needs are being met.
He is very important. There are lots
of immigrants here who follow the roy-
als, Netane said. There are also many
members of the royal family and nobili-
ty who live locally, she said.
Recently, the king was credited for
bringing mobile phone service to the
islands. Tupou V was never married but
did father a child.
The heir to the throne and brother,
Crown Prince Tupoutoa Lavaka Ata
was reportedly at the kings side just
before he passed away.
Two members of the Tongan Royal
Family, Prince Tuipelehake, 55, his
wife Princess Kaimana, 45, were killed
July 5, 2006 on Highway 101 near
Redwood City with their driver Vinisia
Hefa, 36 in a crash involving Edith
Delgado, who was convicted of vehicu-
lar manslaughter.
Tonga is the only country in the South
Pacic that has a monarchy in place.
An ofcial with the Tongan Consulate
General in San Francisco said a memori-
al is being planned locally to honor the
king, a date has not been set, however.

ket for a new car. After testing out sever-
al, realizing his large stature was too
much for the common auto, he nally
settled on the modest Bentley. At long
last, after going through vendors and
various resources, he had found one at
an auction.
It was less than $50,000 for the entire
car, and it only had one minor aw: the
engine had blown. Going through sever-
al shops, nding none that would work
on the apparently infamous Bentley, he
found one mechanic in San Mateo that
was willing to rebuild it.
This journey to making the Bentley
driveable was clearly not without peril,
and it wasnt about to get any easier.
Although the mechanic was ready to
start work, it seemed Bentley kept a
closed lid on gaskets, forcing Brad to go
to the last option: Buying a brand new
motor.
The result? A fully-functioning mid-
2000s Bentley Coupe, mint condition,
for less than $80,000. A Bentley of that
era is worth about $100,000, so the value
is the only thing about this car that actu-
ally is in your face.
In retrospect, there is an important les-
son to take away from Clores experi-
ence. What was once a seemingly
unreachable goal to most people is now
a tangible possibility, built by a top tier
car with a reasonable price. The Bentley
is an accommodating machine and like
Clore, it isnt out to impress anyone, it
just wants to be comfortable.

lar manslaughter due to intoxication and

During his trial, Tom was taken back
into custody in lieu of $2 million bail
when the alcohol-monitoring bracelet
required by his bail indicated the pres-
ence of alcohol.
In the three-judge decision led yes-
terday, the appellate court concluded the
prosecution erred by using Toms failure
to inquire about the well-being of the
other cars occupants as substantive
evidence of guilt.
The argument was highly prejudi-
cial, said the court in explaining how
Toms right to a fair trial was violated.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES John Carter is
now ofcially a op of galactic propor-
tions.
The Walt Disney Co. said Monday that
it expects to book a loss of $200 million
on the movie in the quarter through
March. That ranks it among
Hollywoods all-time biggest money-
losers.
Directed by Pixars Andrew Stanton,
the 3-D effects-laden movie about a
Civil War veteran transplanted to Mars
was already headed to the Red Ink
Planet, according to Cowen & Co. ana-
lyst Doug Creutz. Yet he expected a
write-down of about half that size.
Disney said John Carter has brought
in about $184 million in ticket sales
worldwide so far. But ticket sales are
split roughly in half with theater owners.
The movies production budget is esti-
mated to be about $250 million with
about $100 million more spent on mar-
keting.
The movie was based on a series of
books written by the late Edgar Rice
Burroughs, starting with A Princess of
Mars in 1912 and ending with John
Carter of Mars, published posthumous-
ly in 1964.
There was plenty of material for
sequels and prequels but they seem high-
ly unlikely now.
With a 51 percent Tomatometer rat-
ing on movie site Rotten Tomatoes, the
lm got average reviews, though AP
Movie Critic Christy Lemire called it
massively confusing and deadly
dull.
The poor reception was a shock given
Stantons directing success with movies
like Finding Nemo and Wall-E, each
of which won an Oscar for best animat-
ed feature.
Disney said the loss on John Carter
will cause its studio to lose $80 million
to $120 million for the quarter. Prots
from other movies and home video disc
sales will be more than wiped out.
Miller Tabak analyst David Joyce said
the studios projected loss is more than
double what he had expected, and that
will cause him to trim his estimate for
Disneys earnings. The hefty spending
on production and marketing is causing
the Burbank company to book the loss
sooner than might be the case for a
smaller-budget lm.
Its good that Disneys airing their
dirty laundry now, he said.
Disney: John Carter to lose $200M
