Stolen yacht runs aground
82-foot sailboat stocked with pizza and beer; three arrestedafter it hits Pacifica beach
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Three people were arrested Monday
after they stocked a stolen, 82-foot yacht
with pizza and beer, and then ran the ves-
sel aground on a Northern California
beach, authorities said.
Authorities took two men and a woman
off the boat hours after the Darlin got
stuck in shallow water at Pacica State
Beach, the San Mateo County Sheriffs
Ofce said.
Pacica police arrested Leslie Gardner,
63, Dario Mira, 54, and Lisa Modawell,
56, on suspicion of grand theft and con-
spiracy. They were being held in the San
Mateo County Jail. The strange tale began
early Monday when beachgoers phoned
police to report the sailboat in trouble.
The luxury yacht was trapped on a
sandbar in shallow water at low tide and
unable to get back out to sea. A few wet-
suit-clad surfers had paddled out in the
frigid water near the grounded vessel as its
hull was battered by 4- to 5-foot waves.
After television news reports of the
grounding aired, the boats owner called
police to report it stolen, Sausalito police
Sgt. Bill Fraass said.
We do have thefts of vessels through-
out the area, but the theft of a vessel of this
size is uncommon, Fraass said.
Authorities made brief contact with the
three people on board, but they refused to
disembark at rst.
Once ofcers were alerted that it was a
stolen vessel, police surrounded it with
guns drawn. After a few hours, the trio
agreed to be taken off of the yacht, jump-
ing onto personal watercraft and being
quickly ferried to shore.
One of the three suspects had a pros-
thetic leg, according to Pacica police.
The boats owner was called out to
work with authorities to have it removed
from the beach, hopefully before it was
ruined by the strong surf.
The Coast Guard said there were no
signs of pollution from the boat.

Council slows
effort to ban
leaf blowers
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In a special study session last night to
discuss how to best regulate the use of leaf
blowers in the city, the San Mateo City
Council moved away from calling for a
complete ban on the devices in favor of
other solutions.
While Councilman Brandt Grotte
expressed a desire for moving forward
with an outright ban, Mayor David Lim, who previously
favored a ban, said last night that the proposal would be hard
to enforce.
Many city residents want the gardening tools banned
because of the excessive noise they create and all the pollution

Maezie Schultz wondered aloud if
technology with computers had changed
much in the past 10 years.
Teens seated across from Schultz and
a handful of other seniors at Moldaw
Residences in Palo Alto paused before
explaining that yes, in fact there had
been many changes in technology in
recent years. Schultz, whose computer is
six to seven years old, questioned
whether that made her machine obsolete.
Collectively the group told her no, but it
would be slower. Slower was something
she didnt mind.
Schultz wanted to regain interest in
her computer. Shed lost it in recent
years and thought it was time to get back
to using it. She was one of the seniors
living at Moldaw Residences who were
to be helped by Teen Tech Tutors, a vol-
unteer group of local teens organized to
visit and help solve the tech problems.
Those issues ranged from wanting to
learn to use a new iPad a gift Sadie

to changing the font size to printed doc-
uments.

Police dog digging
in snowbank fires gun
LAWRENCE, Mass. Police say a
dog searching for a gun in a snowbank
accidentally pulled the trigger with its
paw, ring the weapon.
No humans or dogs were hurt.
The episode started at about 2 a.m.
Sunday when an ofcer on patrol heard
three gunshots. When the ofcer went to
investigate, he saw a vehicle speed away.
When the car pulled over, police saw a
man leap out and bury something in the
snow.
Ivan, a dog handled by the Essex
County Sheriffs Department, was called
to the scene to nd whatever was buried
in the snow. Police say he started dig-
ging furiously and red the gun.
Three men were arrested and police
determined the gun had been stolen in
Manchester, N.H., in October.
Ex-con accused of sneaking
back into New York City jails
NEW YORK Most people whove
done time in jail cant wait to get away.
But this week, New York City authori-
ties accused one former inmate of sneak-
ing back in.
Yonkers resident Matthew Matagrano,
36, was arraigned in Manhattan on
Saturday on charges that he impersonat-
ed a Department of Correction investiga-
tor.
Ofcials say that for at least a week,
Matagrano used phony credentials to get
into multiple city lockups, including
Rikers Island and the Manhattan
Detention Center, where he mingled
with inmates for hours.
Investigators said the case was still
unfolding, but some of the allegations
were detailed in a criminal complaint
describing Matagranos entry into the
Manhattan jail on Thursday.
It said that when questioned,
Matagrano had admitted to arriving at
the jail at around 3:30 p.m. and gaining
entry by showing a gold shield and say-
ing he was an investigator from the
departments intelligence unit.
According to the complaint, he stayed
until 11 p.m., giving cigarettes to
inmates and smoking with them in a
common area. He is also charged with
stealing a radio from an ofce while
inside.
Surveillance cameras recorded video
of Matagrano during the visit, the com-
plaint said.
It wasnt clear if or when Matagrano
would face similar charges for entry into
other city jails. A spokesman for the
Bronx district attorney, which often han-
dles cases related to crimes committed
on Rikers Island, said Saturday that he
had no information on the case.
Matagrano has a rap sheet that
includes a conviction for sodomy and
sexual abuse. Hes on the states sex
offender registry.
Its not clear why he wanted to get into
jails, but he had previously been caught
posing as a Board of Education worker
to enter two schools and rie through
student les. In 2004, he pleaded guilty
to attempted burglary in connection with
that case.
His court-appointed lawyer, Andrej
Bajuk, couldnt immediately be reached
by phone for comment. No one respond-
ed to a message left at the public defend-
ers ofce that handled his arraignment.
Department of Correction spokespeo-
ple did not immediately return phone
messages Saturday.

A man charged separately with inappropri-
ately touching two young girls at a San Bruno
Target store on the same August day was
ordered to stand trial for molestation and child
pornography possession after a judge rst
combined the two cases into one.
Glenn Albrecht, 39, has pleaded not guilty
in both cases but Judge Donald Ayoob found
sufcient evidence and ordered him to stand
trial following a preliminary hearing with one
prosecution witness. Albrecht returns to court
March 15 to enter a Superior Court plea and
possibly set a trial date. Meanwhile, he
remains free on a $100,000 bond and a
$200,000 property bond for each of the
respective cases.
San Bruno police arrest-
ed Albrecht Aug. 26 after
he allegedly touched the
buttocks of a 6-year-old
girl who had wandered by
herself into an aisle. The
girl told her parents imme-
diately and pointed out a
man later identified as
Albrecht when he re-
entered the store. The father struck Albrecht
and store security detained him until police
arrived.
A search of Albrechts home turned up a
life-sized doll of a female child, according to
the District Attorneys Ofce.
A review of the stores surveillance video
also allegedly caught Albrecht, wearing a a
shirt emblazoned with the slogan Rub me for
luck, improperly touching an 11-year-old girl
after the rst incident but before police arrest-
ed him. The girl did not report the incident but
police were able to identify her and she
described the man grabbing her buttocks with
his hand, according to the District Attorneys
Ofce.
Judge consolidates cases, orders
alleged children groper to trial
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The Burlingame man whose friend testied
he snapped and attacked his roommate after
weeks of harassment will stand trial for mur-
der later this month.
Lawrence Arthur Hoffman, 65, conrmed
the March 25 trial date yesterday at a court
conference. He previously pleaded not guilty
to bludgeoning Joseph Cosentino to death but
was held to answer after a preliminary hearing
at which his friend testied that Hoffman told
him he snapped and whacked the guy.
Cosentino, 70, died Dec. 5, 2011 from mul-
tiple blows to the head
with likely either a club or
mallet. Authorities found
him face down and cov-
ered with blankets inside
the apartment on Dec. 8,
2011 after being directed
there by Hoffman.
Hoffman had fled to
Southern California after
speaking with his friend,
who then alerted
Burlingame police that his friend may have
killed his roommate. Authorities traced
Hoffman to a Glendale hotel room and he
guided them back to his Garden Drive apart-
ment and Cosentinos body.
Hoffman had moved in with Cosentino in
August 2011 after meeting at the CVS/phar-
macy and the neighboring American Bull
Bar and Grill in Burlingame.
During the preliminary hearing,
Hoffmans friend testified that he claimed to
have killed Cosentino after ongoing belit-
tling, including comments about his wife
and daughter.
Hoffman remains in custody without bail.

NEW YORK A close-knit ultra-
Orthodox Jewish community in
Brooklyn was plunged into a new round
of mourning Monday by the death of a
baby who was delivered by cesarean sec-
tion after his parents were killed in a
grisly hit-and-run crash a day earlier.
Police hunted for the suspected driver,
identied as Julio Acevedo, saying he
was barreling down a residential street in
a BMW at 60 mph, or twice the speed
limit, early Sunday when he collided
with a car hired to take the couple to the
hospital.
The death of the newborn on Monday
piled tragedy upon tragedy and com-
pounded the communitys grief.
The baby was buried near the fresh
graves of his parents, Nachman and
Raizy Glauber, both 21, according to
Isaac Abraham, a spokesman for the
Hasidic Jewish community. About a
thousand community members turned
out for the young couples funeral a day
earlier.
The mood in the neighborhood is
very heavy, said Oscar Sabel, a retired
printer who lives near the scene of the
accident. We all hoped the baby would
survive.
Brooklyn is home to the largest com-
munity of ultra-Orthodox Jews outside
Israel, more than 250,000. The couple
wed last year in a marriage arranged
through a matchmaker and were living
in the Williamsburg neighborhood.
They were members of the Satmar
Hasidic sect, whose men dress in dark
coats and hats, wear long beards like
their Eastern European ancestors and
have limited dealings with the outside
world. Raizy Glauber grew up in a
prominent rabbinical family. Her hus-
band was studying at a rabbinical col-
lege; his family founded a line of cloth-
ing for Orthodox Jews.
Sabel, dressed in the traditional long
black coat of the Satmar, said it was a
terrible tragedy.
But its what God wants, he said.
Maybe the babys death, and his par-
ents, is not for nothing; God doesnt
have to give us answers.
Shortly after midnight Sunday, Raizy
Glauber, who was seven months preg-
nant, wasnt feeling well, so the couple
decided to go to the hospital, said Sara
Glauber, Nachman Glaubers cousin.
They called a livery cab, a hired car that
is arranged via telephone, not hailed off
the street like a yellow cab.
The livery cab had a stop sign, but its
not clear if the driver stopped. Police
said the crash with the BMW reduced
the cab to a crumpled heap, and Raizy
Glauber was thrown from the wreck.
The engine ended up in the back seat,
Abraham said.
Police said the driver of the BMW ran
away.
The baby weighed only about 4
pounds when he was delivered, neigh-
bors and friends said. He died of extreme
prematurity, the city medical examiners
ofce said.
The driver of the livery cab, Pedro
Nunez Delacruz, was knocked uncon-
scious but was not seriously hurt.

City refinances bonds
San Mateo homeowners will receive a
reduction on their property tax bill this
December due to the citys recent refinanc-
ing of $27.29 million in outstanding General
Obligation bonds.
The bond sale took place Feb. 27 to refi-
nance the bonds issued 10 years ago to fund
the construction of the new Main Library
and branch library improvements at a much
lower interest rate.
San Mateo has a credit rating of AA+ by
Standard & Poors and Moodys bond rating
agencies.
With a strong credit rating and low inter-
est rates, market conditions proved right for
pursuing the bond sale, according to city
officials.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch was the
successful bidder offering an interest rate of
2.39 percent, which will save the city and
taxpayers $7.1 million over the remaining
17-year life of the bonds. This equates to
savings of $400,000 annually over the next
17 years.
San Mateo home and property owners can
anticipate a reduction in their annual tax
levy of almost 20 percent for the citys por-
tion of their property tax bill assessment this
December.
Man robbed,
punched in front of home
South San Francisco police are on the
lookout for four men who robbed a man of
his cellphone on the 3800 block of Callan
Boulevard Sunday evening.
At approximately 8:30 p.m., the man was
standing in front of his residence when four
men approached him. One man punched him
in the face and stole his cellphone, accord-
ing to South San Francisco police.
Lights out for Earth Hour
Redwood City will join thousands of cities
worldwide at the end of the month in going

Earth Hour is 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Tatro faces three years and eight months in
prison plus lifetime registration as a sex
offender on charges of sexual penetration of a
minor and sending pornographic material with
the intent of seducing a minor. The charges
stemmed from a relationship with a 17-year-
old water polo player although the civil suit
she later led against him and the school dis-
trict referenced a relationship with another
girl. Counts from that case
were dismissed as part of
the plea deal but the sen-
tencing judge can consider
them in imposing the term.
San Mateo police arrest-
ed Tatro in June 2012 after
school ofcials contacted
them about the relation-
ship in the original case
which reportedly hap-
pened between October 2011 and May 2012.
Authorities say the relationship involved sex-
ual activity but not intercourse and numerous
cellphone photo exchanges of body parts.
Tatro had worked at the school for one year
as a water polo and swim coach. His arrest
came just after the end of the season and he
was not hired back.
The second girl also met Tatro while on the
water polo team. She told authorities he com-
mented on how she looked good and asked her
to friend him on Facebook around October
2011. Through December 2011, he allegedly
also asked her to come over to his home for
sleepovers and to watch movies but she gener-
ally dismissed the messages. The communica-
tion reportedly ended in December 2011 but
picked up again in March after the girl turned
18.
The rst victim is suing Tatro and the San
Mateo Union High School District for failing
to know he was a risk to students and ade-
quately train staff to protect them. In the suit
led Oct. 25 in San Mateo County Superior
Court, the girl claims much of the alleged
activity happened on school grounds or while
supervised during school events. The suit
claims Tatro and the district are responsible
for negligence in hiring and supervision, gen-
eral negligence and battery.
In his response to the complaint on behalf of
Tatro, Smith claims the girls own inequitable
conduct and acts leaves her in equal fault and
without any right to collect damages.
The district similarly denies the suits alle-
gations in its response, stating the girl failed to
mitigate her damages. The response also
states the district is immune from liability and
exercised its duty as a mandated reporter.
A case management conference in the civil
suit is scheduled for April 9.
Judge recuses himself from sentencing former coach
By Lisa Leff
SAN FRANCISCO A California lawmak-
er has introduced legislation aimed at guaran-
teeing transgender students the right to use pub-
lic school rest rooms and participate on the
sports teams that correspond with their
expressed genders.
The bill reects the accommodations that a
number of U.S. schools are being asked to make
as Americans start identifying as transgender at
younger ages.
If approved by the Legislature and signed by
Gov. Jerry Brown, Assemblyman Tom
Ammianos AB1266 would give young people
the right to participate in sex-segregated pro-
grams, activities and facilities regardless of
what gender is listed on their school records.
The measure was introduced last week by
Ammiano, D-San Francisco.
The Capitol Resource Institute, a
Sacramento-based group that lobbies for reli-
gious conservatives, highlighted Ammianos
bill in a newsletter sent to its members on
Friday, promising to ght
the legislation on behalf of
students who might object
to sharing bathrooms,
showers, and locker rooms
with students of the oppo-
site sex.
The Massachusetts
Department of Elementary
and Secondary Education
issued a policy last week
granting the same protections, but Ammianos
bill is believed to be the rst to explicitly spell
them out as a matter of state law, Transgender
Law Center executive director Masen Davis
said. Discriminating against transgender people
already is illegal in California and at least 14
other states, but supporters say the law
Ammiano introduced is necessary to ensure that
school districts do not deny students opportuni-
ties to participate in activities or to feel welcome
on campus.
We would strongly argue that our nondis-
crimination laws would already establish that
transgender students should have access to
facilities and activities that reect their gender
identity or gender expression, but because they
dont go into that level of detail, its important to
clarify this right, Davis said.
The matter of how educators respond to the
needs of transgender youngsters was highlight-
ed last week when a Colorado family went pub-
lic with their experience being told that their
rst-grader, who was born a boy, could not use
the girls bathroom at her elementary school,
and would instead have to use the facilities in
the nurses ofce or the teachers lounge.
The family has led a complaint with the
states civil rights ofce, claiming the schools
decision violated Colorados nondiscrimination
laws.
Devon, a 19-year-old Northern California res-
ident who did not want her last name used
because not all her work colleagues and
acquaintances know she is transgender, recalled
struggling with similar restrictions when she
started middle school. Because she had lived as
a boy until then and her enrollment forms still
listed her as male, she was required to attend
boys physical education classes.

Coroner:Texas man, 46, died
in Escape from Alcatraz triathlon
For the rst time in its 33-year history, a par-
ticipant in the world renowned Escape from
Alcatraz died during the event.
That Ross Ehlinger, 46, died Sunday during
the swim portion of the event held in the frigid
San Francisco Bay amid 6-foot swells and a
powerful outgoing tide raised questions about
what effect the tough conditions had on his
death. This years event was held on Sunday
rather than in June to accommodate the
Americas Cup sailing race.
The answer appears to be that the father of
three from Austin, Texas, may have had an
underlying health problem exposed in an espe-
cially grueling triathlon.
The San Francisco medical examiner is still
investigating the cause of death.
But race organizers and a heart surgeon that
participated in the race speculated that the attor-
ney succumbed to an underlying health problem
rather than being a victim of the conditions or
drowning. Ehlinger was wearing a wetsuit.
Car struck by train
cleared from Caltrain tracks
Caltrain tracks in San Bruno reopened short-
ly before 8 p.m. Monday evening after a train
struck a car on the tracks, a Caltrain spokes-
woman said.
Northbound train number 381 struck a vehi-
cle on the tracks at San Bruno Avenue at about
6:30 p.m., Caltrain spokeswoman Christine
Dunn said.
Dunn said no one on board the train or in the
car was injured.
The accident blocked both tracks for more
than an hour until they reopened at about 7:45
p.m., Dunn said.
While the car was being cleared from the
tracks trains turned around to avoid the colli-
sion scene and SamTrans operated a bus
bridge between the Millbrae and South San
Francisco stations.

Obituary
By Josh Lederman and Ken Thomas
WASHINGTON Close aides and loyal
allies who made President Barack Obamas re-
election possible are attempting to do whats
never been done before. Theyre building an
extensive, well-heeled network of outside
groups and consulting rms with one goal: pro-
moting Obamas agenda and shaping the legacy
hell leave behind.
Two months into his second term, Obama
faces strong headwinds from congressional
Republicans and a divided nation as he works to
enact an ambitious agenda.
So those who fought to keep him in ofce are
launching a sweeping effort, independent of
government, the Democratic Party and tradi-
tional liberal groups, to create a web of inu-
ence outside the White House gates that can
rally support for Obamas policies, with more
exibility that being on the inside allows.
You can only change it from the outside,
Obama said of Washington in the heat of his re-
election race, reecting a frustration that char-
acterized his rst term and his ongoing chal-
lenge to convince Republicans to see things his
way.
The election over, Obamas loyalists from
campaign strategists to online gurus and policy
hands to press agents are embracing that les-
son as a call to action, slicing his agenda into
smaller parts and launching highly targeted,
campaign-style efforts on health care, job cre-
ation and electoral politics.
The linchpin of the effort is Organizing for
Action, a nonprot run by former Obama advis-
ers that has essentially transformed his re-elec-
tion campaign into a grassroots machine to sup-
port his initiatives. In its early stages, the group
is raising millions from big and small donors
alike and whipping up support for issues like
gun control and an immigration overhaul.
Known by its initials, OFA is chaired by Jim
Messina, a former White House aide who ran
Obamas 2012 campaign, and several former
Obama aides sit on its board. David Plouffe,
who until February served as Obamas senior
adviser, is expected to join the board soon.
OFAs close ties to the West Wing and its con-
trol over the former campaigns resources has
raised questions about where the nonprot
group ends and the White House starts.
The group controls Obamas massive email
list and also his campaign Twitter account,
which has more than 27 million followers and
frequently tweets links to his government web-
site.
As a tax-exempt entity, OFA is subject to
strict limits on electoral activity, and the group
has said it wont get involved in elections. The
group accepts unlimited donations from individ-
uals and corporations but plans to release the
names of its donors. The corporate funding is a
shift: many of the same operatives involved with
OFA were once loud critics, along with Obama,
of big money- and corporate-fueled entities that
emerged after a series of court rulings, especial-
ly the Citizens United case, loosened restric-
tions on money and politics.
The arrangement has also opened the White
House to criticism that contributors, in
exchange for supporting the groups, could
receive special access to Obama that the public
is denied. White House press secretary Jay
Carney has elded repeated questioning over
whether bundlers who raised $500,000 or more
for OFA were promised quarterly meetings with
the president a claim that OFA and the White
House disputed.
Any notion that there is a set price for a
meeting with the president of the United States
is just wrong, Carney said Monday. He said its
expected that Obama would meet groups pro-
moting his agenda and that OFAs existence is
perfectly appropriate.
As advocacy groups, OFA and the smaller
organizations can coordinate with the White
House on messaging and tactics. Carney has
said that administration ofcials may appear at
OFA events but wont be raising money.
They have created literally a cottage industry
solely devoted to access and making money off
the access, said Sean Spicer, a spokesman for
the Republican National Committee.
An OFA founders summit for donors on
March 13 at a Washington hotel will include
addresses by Messina, Plouffe and others,
according to an invitation obtained by the
Associated Press. The next day will include
briengs on immigration, gun control and cli-
mate change, with former Environmental
Protection Agency head Lisa Jackson expected
to attend.
But when OFA asks supporters to cut a check,
it will be competing with a growing list of pro-
Obama factions making appeals to a limited
pool of Democratic donors.
Business Forward, a 3-year-old trade group
that has facilitated meetings between businesses
and Obama ofcials, is ramping up operations
as a liberal counterweight to the conservative-
leaning U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Business
Forward is funded by corporate money that was
banished from Obamas campaign coffers in
2008 and 2012.
Obama aides form web of influence
By Dina Cappiello
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama signaled his willingness to tackle cli-
mate change with his pick of Gina McCarthy
to lead the Environmental Protection Agency,
one of three major appointments he
announced Monday.
A 25-year veteran of environmental policy
and politics, McCarthy has worked for
Republicans and Democrats, including
Obamas presidential rival, Mitt Romney,
who tapped her to help draft state plans for
curbing the pollution linked to global warm-
ing. Along with McCarthy, Obama nominat-
ed MIT nuclear physicist Ernie Moniz to lead
the Energy Department and Wal-Marts
Sylvia Mathews Burwell to head the budget
ofce.
McCarthy, 58, a Boston native, has led the
EPAs air pollution division since 2009, ush-
ering in a host of new rules targeting air pol-
lution from power plants, automobiles, and
oil and gas production.
In nominating McCarthy as the nations
top environmental ofcial, Obama is promot-
ing a climate change champion at a time
when he has renewed his commitment to
address global warming and the agency is
contemplating a host of new rules that could
help achieve that. But McCarthy will have to
balance the administrations ambitions with a
dwindling budget: Congress has cut EPAs
budget by 18 percent over the last two years,
and the automatic budget cuts that went into
effect Friday will hinder the agencys energy
efciency programs and climate research.
Moniz, as head of MITs Energy Initiative,
has worked on developing ways to produce
power while curbing greenhouse gas emis-
sions.
Theyre going to be making sure were
investing in American energy, that were
doing everything we can to combat the threat
of climate change, that were going to be cre-
ating jobs and economic opportunity,
Obama said.
McCarthy also brings a distinctive pronun-
ciation of carbon dioxide, the chief pollutant
blamed for climate change. McCarthy, in her
thick accent, pronounces carbon as cahbon.
You wouldnt know by talking to her, but
Ginas from Boston, Obama said. He then
praised her for putting in place over the last
four years what he said were practical, cost-
effective ways to keep our air clean and our
economy growing.

NATION/WORLD 8
By Andrew Taylor
WASHINGTON Republicans control-
ling the House moved Monday to ease a
crunch in Pentagon readiness while limiting
the pain felt by such agencies as the FBI and
the Border Patrol from the across-the-board
spending cuts that are just starting to take
effect.
The effort is part of a huge spending meas-
ure that would fund day-to-day federal opera-
tions through September and head off a
potential government shutdown later this
month.
The measure would leave in place automat-
ic cuts of 5 percent to domestic agencies and
7.8 percent to the Pentagon ordered by
President Barack Obama Friday night after
months of battling with Republicans over the
budget. But the House Republicans legisla-
tion would award the Defense and Veterans
Affairs departments their detailed 2013 budg-
ets, giving those agencies more exibility on
where money is spent, while other agencies
would be frozen at 2012 levels and then
bear the across-the-board cuts.
The impact of the new cuts was proving
slow to reach the broader public as Obama
convened the rst Cabinet meeting of his sec-
ond term to discuss next steps.
The Pentagon did say it would furlough
thousands of military school teachers around
the world and close commissaries an extra
day each week. And Homeland Security
Secretary Janet Napolitano said the spending
cuts were causing delays in customs lines at
airports including Los Angeles International
and OHare International in Chicago.
Obama said he was continuing to seek out
Republican partners to reach a deal to ease or
head off the cuts, but there was no sign that a
breakthrough was in the works to reverse
them.
The new GOP funding measure is set to
advance through the House on Thursday. Its
aimed at preventing a government shutdown
when a six-month spending bill passed last
September runs out March 27.
The latest measure would provide a $10 bil-
lion increase for military operations and
maintenance efforts and a boost for veterans
health programs, but would put most the rest
of the government on budget autopilot.
Military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq
would be cut to $87 billion down from
$115 billion last year reecting ongoing
troop withdrawals from Afghanistan.
It is clear that this nation is facing some
very hard choices, and its up to Congress to
pave the way for our nancial future, said
bill sponsor Harold Rogers, R-Ky., chairman
of the House Appropriations Committee. But
right now, we must act quickly and try to
make the most of a difcult situation. This bill
will fund essential federal programs and serv-
ices, help maintain our national security, and
take a potential shutdown off the table.
Senate Democrats want to add more
detailed budgets for domestic Cabinet agen-
cies but itll take GOP help to do so. The
House measure denies money sought by
Obama and his Democratic allies to imple-
ment the signature 2010 laws overhauling
the health care system and financial regula-
tion.
After accounting for the across-the-board
cuts, domestic agencies would face reductions
exceeding 5 percent when compared with last
year. But Republicans would carve out a host
of exemptions seeking to protect certain func-
tions, including federal prisons and re-ght-
ing efforts in the West, and to provide new
funding for embassy security and moderniz-
ing the U.S. nuclear arsenal. The FBI and the
Border Patrol would be able to maintain cur-
rent stafng levels and would not have to fur-
lough employees.
The legislation would provide about $2 bil-
lion more than the current level to increase
security at U.S. embassies and diplomatic
missions worldwide. Last September, a terror-
ist attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in
Benghazi, Libya, killed Ambassador Chris
Stevens and three other Americans.
A project to repair the Capitol Dome in
Washington could stay on track, and NASAs
space ight budget would be protected from
the harshest effects of the automatic cuts,
known in Washington as a sequester. An ini-
tiative to upgrade the Coast Guard eet would
be funded as well.

BAGHDAD Dozens of Syrian soldiers
who had crossed into Iraq for refuge were
ambushed Monday with bombs, gunre and
rocket-propelled grenades in an attack that
killed 48 of them and heightened concerns
that the country could be drawn into Syrias
civil war.
The fact that the soldiers were on Iraqi soil
at all raises questions about Baghdads appar-
ent willingness to quietly aid the embattled
regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The well-coordinated attack, which Iraqi
ofcials blamed on al-Qaidas Iraq arm, also
suggests possible coordination between the
militant group and its ideological allies in
Syria who rank among the rebels most potent
ghters.
Iraqi ofcials said the Syrians had sought
refuge through the Rabiya border crossing in
northern Iraq during recent clashes with
rebels and were being escorted back home
through a different crossing farther south
when the ambush occurred. Their convoy was
struck near Akashat, not far from the Syrian
border.
Ali al-Moussawi, a spokesman for Iraqs
prime minister, provided the death toll and
said nine Iraqi soldiers were also killed. The
Syrians had been disarmed and included some
who were wounded, he told the Associated
Press.
He said the soldiers had been allowed into
Iraq only on humanitarian grounds and insist-
ed that Baghdad was not picking sides in the
Syrian conict.
We do not want more soldiers to cross our
borders and we do not want to be part of the
problem, al-Moussawi said. We do not sup-
port any group against the other in Syria.
The Iraqi Defense Ministry said 10 addi-
tional Syrians were wounded in the assault. In
a statement, it warned all parties in the Syrian
war against bringing the ght into Iraq, saying
its response will be rm and tough.

up to Congress to pave the way for our nancial future.

Bag ban ordinance
Editor,
Your article Bag ban rankles mayor
in the Feb. 27 edition about the San
Carlos City Council passing a plastic
bag ban needs one correction. The
council did not pass a bag ban, rather,
we introduced an ordinance to do so.
This is typical procedure with all ordi-
nances.
The reason to rst introduce an ordi-
nance is to allow the public an opportu-
nity to review it before it becomes law.
After introduction, it must sit for ve
days minimum; usually, that means two
weeks, because of the councils meet-
ing schedule. Then, if the public has
questions or concerns, they can address
the council with those.
Rightly reported, I did vote against
the ban. Honestly, I dont see plastic
bags as San Carlos major source of lit-
ter. What I see are take-out drink
containers, cigarette butts and cigarette
packaging. If plastic bags need address-
ing, wed do just as well to require
compostable plastic bags be used. That
would mitigate most concerns.
Instead, government is claiming
authority to tell a merchant what to sell
and for what price. Where in the state
constitution is that authority given? To
enforce the policy, a county bureaucrat
is made policeman, judge and jury
with no right of appeal. These two ele-
ments make for a poor recipe in law-
making.
One caution: if anyone plans to
address our council on this issue, keep
in mind, during my questions to staff,
one councilmember left the dais twice
and the vice mayor once. When the
vice mayor returned, he challenged my
need to ask questions.

F
oster City continues to rank as
the top choice for families
searching for good schools and
an excellent quality of life. The city
was designed to provide a consistent
quality of life manifested in its infra-
structure, policies, governance struc-
ture, public safety and city staff. We as
a city have continued to reinvest in the
various aspects crucial to the publics
expectation of deliverables. The ques-
tion that remains is what areas do we
need to invest in and to what degree to
maintain the quality of life that our res-
idents expect?
The city has made a commitment to
balance our budget and cure the struc-
tural decit. The council has tasked
staff to sharpen their pencils and make
effective cuts to reduce the decit while
not affecting our quality of life.
One such case in point is our capital
improvement funds. The council has
created and supported the funding of
capital reserves that fund the mainte-
nance and replacement of infrastruc-
ture, vehicles and equipment. These
funds are long term and provide ade-
quate dollars to maintain and replace
structures like bridges, roads as well as
remodeling and updating city facilities.
After review, staff recommended cut-
ting the amount placed into these funds
because the amount would be better in
line with projected needs. In fact, just
recently, the council created an addi-
tional fund where we will place the
proceeds from the sale of the PJCC
property and the soon to be completed
sale of the 15 acres site (home to the
new senior development).
The hard fact is that a large portion
of our budget is allocated to the salaries
of staff; the staff that provides public
safety and maintains our citys parks
and infrastructure. Like most cities, 80
percent of our budg-
et is allocated for
salaries. These are
the salaries of those
who provide the
quality of life we
often speak of. We
as a city fund these
salaries as part of
our commitment to
our residents and community. This is
the cost of doing business as a city.
We are a customer service business.
Our city and staff provide and maintain
services we have all come to enjoy. As
such, should we as a city, build the
maintenance cost into our budget just
as we do in other areas? In the private
sector, many companies work hard to
develop entry-level employees into
experienced and valuable assets.
Employees become more valuable over
time because they gain experience and
knowledge.
Our employees are loyal, dedicated
and extremely diligent in their daily
performance of their duties. The city
has a great legacy of providing opportu-
nity for advancement within each
department. This allows talented and
dedicated individuals to move up in the
organization to the mutual benet of
both.
In these challenging times, the city is
faced with the challenging question of
employee compensation. We will
address this difcult question during
this years budget process. Foster City
has historically been consistent and
competitive with the employee wages
compared to our surrounding communi-
ties. However, we will once again re-
examine our assumptions and deter-
mine if there is a need to adjust our
compensation matrix.
Each year, the cost of living increas-
es. It is more expensive to purchase
goods, to educate our children and to
buy homes. In the private sector, many
employees consider the Consumer Price
Index and increase the cost of services
and the salaries of their valuable
employees accordingly.
If an employee maintains the original
salary they were hired at in an economy
in which expenses increase 1 percent to
3 percent per year, it is only a matter of
time before they are making less money
each year. If, over a period of ve
years, the CPI increases by 10 percent,
then the employees wages are worth
10 percent less in the market place.
While any analysis of this issue is more
complex, the simple fact remains that if
the CPI continues to escalate and if
salaries do not, it is only a matter time
before this affects the retention and
attraction of qualied staff.
The question that remains is whether
we should consider building a budget
that adjusts for anticipated increases
based upon the CPI or other economic
predictors. Should we consider the vari-
ous factors that affect employee salaries
and retention and adjust our budget
accordingly? Should we invest in the
people who provide our services just
like we do with our infrastructure?
These will be lively and important dis-
cussions over the coming months. I
look forward to hearing from our resi-
dents about this important issue as we
craft the upcoming budget.

Crying wolf
S
adly, again a woman has cried wolf. Or, rather, she
has falsely cried rape, making it harder not just for
real victims of violence to be legitimately heard
but also harder to silence those political mushheads who
downplay the enormity of the numbers or who just wont
shut up with their faux sci-
ence about pregnancy
stemming from the crimes.
The woman who claimed
sexual assault on the cam-
pus of the University of
California at Santa Cruz
the afternoon of Feb. 17 is
offensive and the public
she duped deserves an
explanation, an apology
and appropriate punish-
ment. Filing a false police
report is not a momentary
lapse in judgment but a
crime and even more so
when that lie heightens
community fear and risks an unwarranted incarceration.
The woman has yet to be charged and Santa Cruz authori-
ties have not said yet what path theyll take. But simply
letting the matter drop is wrong. Id say as much to the
womans face if given half a chance but her name has not
been released. When she was the alleged victim of a vio-
lent, sexual crime the anonymity was understandable and
warranted. And while she is now not technically a criminal
defendant, I cant help but wish for a little public shaming,
particularly if that may be the only slap on the wrist she
receives.
Although the supposed assault happened in Santa Cruz
County, word reverberated past its borders throughout the
Bay Area and beyond. Rape is serious business and cam-
pus attacks are particularly alarming because we like to
think of schools as places of relative safety. Fighting
Banana Slug alumni like myself and others familiar with
the UCSC campus up on the hill also know it is not a
place non-students and staff easily wander onto for possi-
ble mischief. But the campus is also crisscrossed by isolat-
ed paths and nooks and crannies that, while beautiful, can
also be a little dark and ominous at certain hours, in cer-
tain places. An attack, while disconcerting, is always pos-
sible. Its no wonder the school and community went into
safety overdrive. Its no wonder the public was wondering
what happened.
But within days, the police announced the womans
story had fallen apart and she admitted having falsified the
claims. On one hand, thank goodness the incident didnt
happen. But the other hand? Its ready to give her a good
shaking.
Why the woman lied may never come to light and
frankly little she can say will justify her actions.
The only saving grace is that the hoax did not lead to an
arrest, which is not what could be said in June 2007 when
a 23-year-old woman told Foster City police she was
attacked at gunpoint after her Jeep Liberty broke down on
Foster City Boulevard crossing over State Route 92.
She provided a detailed physical description which led a
week later to the arrest of a 25-year-old San Mateo man
whose DNA was found in the car. Seems he had been
drinking at a nearby restaurant with her which explained
the DNA. Police reported later the woman was in a rela-
tionship with another person at the time of her date which
explains the shady rape story.
The woman ended up with 90 days in jail and a hefty
bill for all the law enforcement hours spent. The public
and very real victims ended up with another reason why
legitimate claims crumble under the weight of skepticism
if they are brought to light at all. The number of untrue
reports likely pale in comparison of valid accusations but
the damage of those lies is huge. Those falsehoods give
naysayers ammunition to deny rightful allegations, to
downplay the staggering number of valid incidents and to
let those challenged by science and common sense to
make ridiculous declarations.
Rape is a crime, not an excuse to hide other behavior
and, for it to be taken seriously, false claims must be han-
dled with equal gravity.
Theres no doubt a violation happened in Santa Cruz but
it wasnt of this unnamed womans body. Disappointingly,
the breach was of the publics trust.

Big movers

NEW YORK Investors brushed off
early jitters about a potential slowdown
in China and pushed the Dow to its high-
est close of the year.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
38.16 points, or 0.3 percent, to
14,127.82. The index is a fraction of a
percentage point away from its record
close of 14,164, reached on Oct. 9, 2007.
Stocks dropped at the opening bell and
stayed lower most of the morning amid
concern that new steps introduced by the
Chinese government to cool the boom-
ing housing market in the worlds sec-
ond-largest economy.
Chinese markets were dragged down
by housing stocks, which fell sharply
after the countrys cabinet ordered new
measures to rein in home prices. China
will raise minimum down payments in
areas where prices are deemed to be ris-
ing too fast and crack down on efforts to
evade limits on how many properties
each buyer can acquire.
The U.S. market continues to digest
the negative news and hang tough, said
Ryan Detrick, a senior strategist at
Schaeffers Investment Research.
The stock market has rallied this year
on optimism that the U.S. housing mar-
ket is recovering and signs that compa-
nies are hiring more. Strong corporate
earnings and continuing economic stim-
ulus from the Federal Reserve have also
boosted stock prices.
Despite having already logged strong
gains this year, stocks may still be able
to maintain their momentum as investors
move money out of bonds, Rob Lutts,
chief investment ofcer at Cabot Money
Management, said.
Its all about where the money is
going, Lutts said. If the money that is
sitting on the sideline, or in bonds, is
moving into equities that alone is
enough to create that shift.
Investors put $2.8 billion into U.S.
stock mutual funds in the week ending
Feb. 27, according to Lipper. Thats
the eighth straight week investors have
put more money into stocks, the
longest streak of inflows in almost two
years.
The Dow has risen 7.8 percent so far
this year and the S&P 500 index is 6.9
percent higher, while the yield on the 10-
year Treasury note remains below 2 per-
cent. The yield, which moves inversely
to its price, rose 3 basis points to 1.87
percent Monday.
For now, stocks are likely to grind
higher as investors who missed the rally
at the start of the year buy stocks on any
drops in the market, Scott Wren, a senior
equity strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors,
said.
Id love to see a pullback, because
pullbacks are opportunities, Wren said.
Janet Yellen, vice chair of the Federal
Reserve, said Monday she does not see
risks at the moment from the U.S. cen-
tral banks low-interest rate policies. The
Fed is buying $85 billion each month in
Treasury and mortgage-backed securi-
ties to keep long-term interest rates very
low.
Investors enthusiasm is being held in
check by the automatic government
budget cuts that took effect Friday after
President Barack Obama and Congress
failed to reach a budget deal. Economists
expect the cuts to hurt U.S. economic
growth. Both Republicans and
Democrats pledged to retroactively undo
the cuts, but they have given no indica-
tion of how that process would take
shape.
In other trading, the Standard & Poors
500 rose 7 points, or 0.5 percent, to
1,525.20. The Nasdaq composite gained
12.29 points, or 0.4 percent, to 3,182.03.
Stocks grind higher, push Dow toward record
Its all about where the money is going. ... If the
money that is sitting on the sideline, or in bonds, is moving
into equities that alone is enough to create that shift.

NEW YORK J.C. Penney, which is
struggling with big losses and steep sales
declines, could face another challenge: empty
shelves.
New York State Supreme Court Judge
Jeffrey Oing told Penneys attorneys on
Monday that the chain took a risk by ordering
towels, cookware and other products from the
company that home diva Martha Stewart
founded. In fact, Oing said he could force
Penney to stop the products from heading to
the shelves this spring even as they come off
the docks.
Thats the risk your client took, Oing
said. Ultimately, you guys played it out.
Oing said he will hear oral arguments on
Friday over the issue of whether Penney can
sell goods like towels designed by Martha
Stewart Living that are covered by Macys
exclusive agreement but are not sold under the
Martha Stewart brand name.
The judges statements came during the
start of the third week in a trial that pits J.C.
Penney Co. against rival Macys Inc. over
their relationship with Martha Stewart Living
Omnimedia Inc. At issue is whether Macys
has the exclusive right to sell some of Martha
Stewart branded products such as cookware,
bedding and bath.
Penney, in a statement released Monday,
said Penney said that it would not have pro-
ceeded with its agreement with the media and
merchandising company if Penney thought it
would interfere in any way with its pact with
Martha Stewart Living.
Macys is attempting to gain through the
lawsuit more rights than it actually has under
its written contract with Martha Stewart
Living, the company said in the statement.
Macys has argued that Penney breached its
long-standing contract when it signed a deal
in December 2011 to open Martha Stewart
mini shops in most of its stores this spring.
Macys, which has been the exclusive carrier
of some Martha Stewart products including
towels and pots since 2007, is trying to block
Penney from selling those products. It also
wants to stop Martha Stewart from providing
any designs to Penney whether or not it
carries the Martha Stewart label.
Last July, Macys won a preliminary injunc-
tion against Martha Stewart Living that would
prevent it from selling housewares and other
exclusive products at Penney. In August, the
judge granted permission for Penney to open
Martha Stewart shops as long as the items
under the exclusive contract with Macys are
not sold in them.
But Penney took a more liberal interpreta-
tion of the preliminary ruling. Penney said it
plans to sell products that are part of Macys
exclusive agreement in May. The goods will
be branded under JCP Everyday, a new brand
reserved for the home divas merchandise.
Penney also plans to sell products like cur-
tains and stationery that are not a part of the
exclusive Macys contract under the label
Martha.
Mark H. Epstein, representing Penney,
argued that a decision to block the department
store from selling goods like towels and bed-
ding that dont carry the Martha Stewart label
would be devastating because the company
doesnt have a substitute.
Oing said even though he understands the
nancial repercussions, his decision cant be
inuenced by nancial matters.
These three companies are the fabric of
America, Oing said. I havent decided what
I am going to do. Im keeping the cat in the
bag.
The stakes are high for all three companies.
Macys CEO Terry Lundgren testied last
week that the Cincinnati-based department
store chain built the Martha Stewart brand to
become the biggest name in the home area,
and having a rival carry similar products
would hurt business.
J.C. Penney could wind up with empty shelves

Warren Buffet says stocks are a good
investment, long-term government bonds are
a dumb one, and ketchup is forever.
The billionaire investor covered a range of
topics in a CNBC interview on Monday,
including his purchase of ketchup maker
Heinz, the meat ax of automatic budget
cuts, and whats going to happen when the
Federal Reserve stops pumping money into
the economy.
CHEAP MONEY BOOSTS STOCKS
Warren Buffett has long been bullish on
stocks, and still is. But theyre likely to be
hurt when interest rates rise, he said.
Cheap loans make it easy to get money to
invest. And low returns on bank savings make
stocks more attractive.
Buffett predicted that those low interest
rates wont go on forever.
If interest rates go up dramatically, all
assets will go down in value, he said.
THE DUMBEST INVESTMENT
Buffet says hed still rather own stocks
than other options such as farmland, junk
bonds, real estate trusts, or long-term gov-
ernment bonds.
Theyre not as cheap as
they were four years ago
during the nancial crisis
and stock market selloff,
he said in an interview on
CNBC on Monday. But
you get more for your
money compared to other
investments.
He called long-term
government bonds the dumbest investment.
Interest rates are much lower than usual. If
they rise, bond investors could see the price
of their bonds drop. Thats because bond
prices fall when interest rates rise.
BIG SHIFT AHEAD
Buffett said money managers will be sell-
ing some investments when the Fed stops
pumping extra money into the economy. He
says it will be a very interesting day when
it becomes clear the Fed has reversed direc-
tion.
Weve never had the degree of disgorge-
ment that might be called for down the line,
and who knows how it will play out. It will be
noticeable, he said.
Buffett said that in 50 years of deciding
whether to buy companies, he has never taken
long-term economic worries into account.
That includes his recent deal to buy Heinz.
Last month he agreed to work with 3G
Capital to buy the H.J. Heinz Co. for $23.3
billion.
Charlie and I will talk about the business,
we will not get into discussions about the Fed
or whatever, he said, referring to Charles
Munger, Berkshires vice chairman. Buffett
noted that he bought his rst stock in 1942
during World War II, when the U.S. was los-
ing the war in the Pacic.
Buying a company cheaply enough means
that future economic shocks wont wreck a
deal. He predicted that Berkshire Hathaway
will own Heinz 100 years from now. Heinz
is forever, as far as were concerned, he said.
AUTOMATIC SPENDING CUTS
Buffett said the automatic spending cuts
that went into effect over the weekend are a
meat-ax way to cut spending.
But considering all the government spend-
ing and Federal Reserve cash infusions,
spending probably has to be cut one way or
another.
You may have to use the meat ax rst, he
said, and then people kind of look at their
handiwork and say, We have to do better
than this.

Research firm: PC sales
to continue slide in 2013
NEW YORK Sales of personal computers
will continue to shrink this year after a grim
2012, as consumers ock toward tablets,
research rm IDC said Monday.
IDC expects global PC sales to contract 1.3
percent this year after falling 3.7 percent last
year.
For the U.S., IDC expects the third year in a
row of contraction, while sales will continue to
grow, albeit slowly, in the developing world.

Avis could make long-awaited debut
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Freddy Avis was all smiles after his bullpen
session on Sunday. And well he should be.
Stanfords hottest freshman prospect is on
the verge of ofcially beginning his collegiate
career. That could happen as soon as Tuesday
evening, as the right-handed pitcher is avail-
able to take the ball for the Cardinal tonight at
Santa Clara. However, according to Avis, he is
more likely to debut at home this weekend
when Stanford hosts UNLV.
Avis The San Mateo Daily Journals
2012 Baseball Player of the Year out of Menlo
School is slated to t into Stanfords week-
end rotation, eventually. He has yet to appear
for the Cardinal after an internal impingement
in his throwing shoulder prevented him from
throwing throughout the fall.
Although he is likely to be tabbed as a
starter in his debut, he will be limited to 20
pitches and/or one inning of work, according
to Stanford pitching coach Rusty Filter.
The thing now is were trying to increase
his workload, the volume, Filter said. Hes
not ready to just turn loose and go. Hed be
really limited. Were looking for Freddy for
the long haul, not to add right now. So, well
be pretty careful with him and cautious.
Weve waited this long. Theres no reason to
push it now.
Avis rst started dealing with the injury at
the outset of his senior season at Menlo. He
persevered through Menlos bid to three-peat
as Central Coast Section champs they ulti-
mately fell in the championship game 10-6 to
Pacic Grove then took it upon himself to
shut it down over the summer, before starting
a rehab program over the fall. At its worst, the
injury only ever amounted to tightness of the
throwing shoulder, and a slight limitation in
range of motion.
Thats the good thing, Avis said. It does-
nt get worse in a given day. Throwing is actu-
ally the solution.
In his longest outing against live hitters
since last May, Avis turned in an impressive
two-inning performance in an intrasquad in
late January. He has since thrown a handful of

Seven different San Mateo county teams
earned Central Coast Section championships
last week.
That means there were at least seven Honor
Roll worthy performances.
This weeks roll call begins at Burlingame
High School and its varsity basketball teams
that did a little more than just win CCS titles
they made history. The boys earned their
rst ever Central Coast Section championship
while the girls won their rst since the historic
1988 season.
It was true team effort for the boys although
a massive amount of credit has to go to
Connor Haupt (22 points to lead Panther scor-
ers), who fueled the Burlingame offense in the
rst half, Nick Loew, who played the game of
his life in the post with 17 points and 16
rebounds, and the hustle of both Will Dobson
and Grant Goodman late in the game on the
boards.

Only one point guard in the
rich basketball history of
Burlingame High School can
claim what Mikel Floro-Cruz
can.
A Central Coast Section cham-
pionship game win.
And when you consider the list
of players who played the 1 posi-
tion for the Panthers, the fact
should simply blow your mind.
So come Monday, Floro-Cruz
and the rest of the CCS Division
III champion Panthers got the red
carpet treatment upon returning
to school for classes.
Superstar is the right word,
Floro-Cruz said.
We all felt like the whole
school, the whole city was
behind our back, Floro-Cruz
said. The support we got after
was just incredible, people com-
ing up and saying great job,
CCS champs. It was kind of like,
a dream realized. There is no way
to describe that.
There isnt an easy way, or a
short way, to describe Floro-
Cruzs story. A year ago, No. 10
wasnt even in uniform and had
all but given up on his high
school basketball career. Then
after deciding to give basketball
one more try, he was handed the
reins to a talented team and
struggled to assimilate the point
guards responsibilities. But
through hard work and a will,
that has come to dene him on
the basketball court, Floro-Cruz
and rest of the Panthers made his-
tory by beating Santa Cruz and
capturing the schools rst ever

onship.
Not to take anything away
from the team, but for me per-
sonally it was such a gratifying

GLENDALE, Ariz. John Danks hadnt
pitched in a game since last May.
The 10 months that passed since felt like 10
years to the Chicago White Sox left-hander.
The last two hours before Danks started
Chicagos spring game against the San
Francisco Giants on Monday seemed like an
eternity to him, too.
I tell you what, the clock stopped at 11
(a.m.), said Danks, who took the mound at
1:05 p.m. Arizona time for the rst time since
he faced the Cubs at Wrigley Field on May 19.
I felt like I kept looking at the clock, waiting
for the game to start. Once I got on the eld
and started warming up, it felt a little more in
my comfort zone.
Danks looked comfortable in his 35-pitch
start, throwing 27 for strikes and allowing one
run on two hits and no walks with two strike-
outs. One of the hits was a home run to left
eld by Joaquin Arias, the second batter he
faced. After that, Danks retired ve batters in
a row before allowing a leadoff single in the
third to Kensuke Tanaka.
I feel good right now, said Danks, who
threw mostly fastballs and changeups. The
test will be tomorrow and the next day. So far,
so good. As I was going back out there for the
second and third innings, I didnt feel like I
was losing anything. If anything, it was start-
ing to come to me a little bit.

SAN FRANCISCO For the rst time in
its 33-year history, a participant in the world
renowned Escape from Alcatraz died during
the event.
The death of Ross Ehlinger, 46, on Sunday
during the swim portion of the event held
in the frigid San Francisco Bay amid 6-foot
swells and a powerful outgoing tide raised
questions about what effect the tough condi-
tions had. This years event was held Sunday
rather than in June to accommodate the
Americas Cup sailing race.
The answer appears to be that the father of
three from Austin, Texas, may have had an
underlying health problem exposed in an
especially grueling triathlon.
The San Francisco medical examiner is still
investigating the cause of death.
But race organizers and a heart surgeon that
participated in the race speculated that the
attorney succumbed to an underlying health
problem rather than being a victim exclusive-
ly of the rough conditions or drowning.
Ehlinger was wearing a wetsuit.
I bet the man had a health problem, said
Dr. Lawrence Creswell, a University of
Mississippi researcher who has participated in
several Escape triathlons. I would bet that
theres a heart problem and not a drowning
problem.
Creswell said he doesnt know whether the
conditions played any role in the death.
Creswell chaired a committee appointed by
triathlons governing body to research why 43
participants died in events between 2003 and
2011. That study found that 30 of the 45
triathlon deaths that occurred during that peri-
od happened during the swimming portion.
All 30 were thought to be the result of sud-
den cardiac death.
Still, Creswell said conditions were rough
Sunday, and the water was cold. Last year, the
water was 60 degrees. But in 2011, the water
temperature was 52 degrees. The San
Francisco Bay is notoriously nicky, and con-
ditions change often and quickly regardless of
the time of year.
It was a very challenging swim, Creswell
said.
Nonetheless, Creswell said the temperature
of the water probably didnt have an effect in
a body of water that is nearly always hovering
in the 50s.
No one has died in the race in 33 years, he
said.
Race organizer Bill Burke said ofcials
plucked about 150 swimmers who were off
course or struggling from the water and repo-
sitioned all but about 10 participants back in
the water to complete the race.
We pick them up and relocate them on the
course, he said. He said organizers had 130
assets on the water, including several
kayakers and dozens of people on personal
watercraft watching over the swimmers.
Burke said that its common to reposition
60 or 70 swimmers each year and that usually
only about four or ve quit the race complete-
ly. He attributed the higher numbers of those
quitting to the cold and windy 53 degree tem-
peratures on shore.
It was miserable, he said of the end of the
1.5-mile swim when the roughly 1,700 partic-
ipants were emerging from the water.
Burke said that growing popularity of
triathlons generally, and a few iconic races in
particular, are attracting an increasing number
of athletes who may have an underlying med-
ical condition or who are simply not in shape.
Escape from Alcatraz is the most iconic
triathlon there is, said Burke, whose compa-
ny also manages New Yorks Ironman U.S.
Championship and other popular events.
I have always wanted to come to San
Francisco to race in this infamous triathlon,
said Javier Gomez, the triathlons winner.
The course was tough with cold water, strong
currents and a great eld of competitors.
Coroner: Texas man, 46, died in Alcatraz triathlon

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Baseball was
invented in the United States, but the World
Baseball Classic has been dominated by
Japan.
U.S. manager Joe Torre
has taken a different
approach in the WBCs
third edition this year.
Rather than stock his
entire roster with high-
prole stars, hes got a
basic starting nine with
utility players, three
catchers and 15 pitchers
filling out the 28-man
group.
I think its advantageous. I think you need
role players, said Milwaukee outelder Ryan
Braun, who was part of the 2009 team that
made it to the seminals. You look at regular
teams throughout the course of the season,
those role players are instrumental in teams
nding a way to win games. Its certainly
important to have versatility.
The Americans went through their only pre-
tournament workout Monday, a light, two-
hour session at Salt River Fields, the spring
training home of Arizona and Colorado.
They have exhibition against the Chicago
White Sox and Rockies before their opener
Friday against Mexico at Chase Field, which
could draw an enthusiastic and not necessari-
ly pro-U.S. crowd.
Although the team includes Braun, New
York Mets third baseman David Wright and
New York Yankees first baseman Mark
Teixeira, Torre chose only one player at each
ineld position.
Philadelphias Jimmy Rollins is at shortstop
and Cincinnatis Brandon Phillips will play
second. Their backups are Arizonas Willie
Bloomquist and Tampa Bays Ben Zobrist
with Minnesota catcher Joe Mauer expected
to ll in some at rst base as well as a desig-
nated hitter. The outfielders are Braun,
Baltimores Adam Jones and Miamis
Giancarlo Stanton of Miami, with Bostons
Shane Victorino another option.
The other catchers are Milwaukees
Jonathan Lucroy and Torontos J.P. Arencibia,
who gets to catch knuckleballer R.A. Dickey
his new teammate on the Blue Jays in
Friday nights opener.
Under pitch-count rules, starters cant throw
more than 65 pitches in opening round games.
The Americans group also includes Canada
and Italy. After round-robin play concludes
with the Canada-U.S. game on Sunday, the
top two nations advance to the second round
in Florida. The seminals and nals will be
held the following week in San Francisco.
Texiera called the competition an exhibi-
tion.
While we want to win. The important thing
is to put on a great tournament for everyone to
enjoy it, for the fans to enjoy it, he said. It
doesnt mean we dont want to win it.
Japan has won the rst two WBC titles.
While American fans may not be watching
intensely, Braun said players should expect
heated competition.
Its certainly challenging, he said. I
know the last time I played just the atmos-
phere, the environment, felt like the intensity
of a playoff game.
Torre, an MLB executive vice president,
wouldnt announce starting pitchers other
than Dickey, although he pointed out Texas
Derek Holland is starting Tuesdays exhibi-
tion against the White Sox. That puts Holland
in line to start Sunday.
Wright said that players went through their
offseason preparation with the knowledge
they would need to be in shape for the WBC.
The four or ve games Ive been in, Ive
tried to play into the sixth or seventh inning
each time, he said. Just kind of speeding up
the process, playing a few more innings earli-
er in the spring than I normally would and
obviously getting those extra at-bats is impor-
tant to get ready.
Several players mentioned their motivation
is to become the rst U.S. squad to gain the
title.
Were all here to win it, and we all have
gotten ourselves to the point where we can go
out there as if its Game 7 of the World
Series, Atlanta closer Craig Kimbrel said.
Were out there to win. Were going to put it
all on the line. Thats what were here to do.
Were not here to show up and just play and
say we played for Team USA. Were here to
say We played for Team USA and we won. I
had that feeling in the clubhouse that thats
what were all here to do.

Michael Jordan wants
paternity lawsuit dismissed
ATLANTA Basketball hall of famer
Michael Jordan asked a Georgia court on
Monday to dismiss a paternity suit against
him, calling it a shame-
less, bad faith attempt to
abuse the legal system.
Jordans lawyer John
Mayoue said in a docu-
ment filed in Fulton
County Superior Court
that the six-time NBA
champion is not the father
of Pamela Y. Smiths 16-
year-old son.
The paternity of the teen was conclusive-
ly established in divorce filings between
Smith and her ex-husband, Jordans attorney
wrote.
Jordan, 50, is the majority owner of the
NBAs Charlotte Bobcats. His spokeswoman
Estee Portnoy released a statement to the
Associated Press.
Public records show that the paternity of
the child was established in a prior case in
this same court many years ago and that
Michael Jordan is not the father. He also filed
a counterclaim seeking sanctions for the
false claims made against him. It is unfortu-
nate that well-known figures are the target of
these kind of claims. Michael Jordan will
vigorously defend himself and his reputa-
tion.

bullpens, and threw a simulated
inning against live batters last
Wednesday. As for the strict pitch
count that will be enforced in his
first official outing, the limited
workload may take some getting
used to, according to Avis.
I cant really remember (the last
time I only threw one inning), Avis
said. Im used to going until I cant
go anymore.
Despite beginning the season
without two of its best arms jun-
ior right-hander A.J. Vanegas has
also been sidelined while rehabbing
from a back injury Stanford is
still off to a sensational start, much
in part to its dominant pitching. The
Cardinal are 9-2 after a three-game
sweep of University of Texas over
the weekend, and have won eight in
row. Their pitchers have posted a
1.74 ERA thus far. Even in dropping
their rst series of the year at Rice,
they still only surrendered seven
earned runs in three games.
Weve been forced to use a lot of
guys because of some injuries, and I
think its given us some more depth
on the pitching staff, Stanford man-
ager Mark Marquess said.
Fridays starter Mark Appel has
been nothing short of brilliant,
adding another gem to his storied
resume with a three-hit shutout of
Texas in a 2-0 win. And he did so in
his signature style of challenging to
the strike zone with his fastball.
Despite striking out 14, the right-
hander threw just 110 pitches on the
night.
Its much in part to Appel that
Stanfords pitching staff is so
stacked, but for the opposite reason
than it would seem. Stanford was
anticipating not having Appel this
season, as the right-hander was a
rst-round draft pick by Pittsburgh
last June. However, Appel shocked
the baseball world by declining to
sign a pro deal and return to
Stanford.
We have seven pitchers in my
recruiting class because we all
thought that Mark was going to
sign, Avis said. But, now that he
hasnt, we have a really deep staff. It
has been awesome to watch from
the bench.
Despite Appels phenomenal start
the senior is 2-1 with a 1.17 ERA
the Cardinal leader in ERA thus
far is actually freshman Bobby
Zarubin.
Zarubin stepped into the weekend
rotation on Sunday and did not dis-
appoint, allowing just one run on
two hits over eight innings to take a
no-decision in Stanfords 2-1 walk-
off win to sweep Texas. The fresh-
man is currently 1-0 with a 0.96
ERA, and is second only to Appel
with 18 2/3 innings pitched. The
splash that earned Zarubin a start
was his brilliant performance Feb.
24 against Fresno State, in which he
came on in early relief to earn the
win with 11 strikeouts over 6 2/3
innings.
Hes done great, Filter said. I
think from the very rst outing
hes got a really good pitchers tem-
perament. Hes pretty calm out
there. He has a pitch. He has a real-
ly good changeup that he can throw
at any time.
Although he grew up in southern
California, Zarubin was born in San
Mateo and lived in Menlo Park
before his family relocated to San
Diego when he was 1. He said he
still has family in Daly City, as well
as an uncle in Pleasanton. Recruited
as a third baseman, Zarubin was
converted to the mound over the
winter when it was clear that sopho-
more Alex Blandino was going to
receive a majority of the playing
time at the hot corner.
I couldnt even imagine being a
Sunday starter when I was first
recruited here, Zarubin said.
The secret to his success on the
mound has been his dominant
changeup. Similar to that of Giants
star Tim Lincecum, Zarubin throws
the change off the split-nger grip.
Stanford catcher Wayne Taylor said
it became apparent the pitch would
be a serious weapon after he saw it
in intrasquad play.
In intrasquads all year he had
been throwing that pitch and none
of us could hit it, Taylor said. So,
Id seen him before and I knew he
had it, but he really showed it off
against Fresno State, and then did it
again [Sunday].
Now, with Avis set to take the
mound, and Vanegas on the cusp of
returning as well, Stanfords biggest
problem is, as they say, the best
problem to have too much depth.
Even Tuesday-starter Dean
McArdle is currently 2-0 with a
1.85 ERA through two starts. One
thing is for certain, though. There is
plenty of excitement surrounding
the imminent debut of Avis. And
like Appel, he proles as a pitcher
who is going to go right after hitters,
and will be most successful by ll-
ing up the strike zone.

Stanford freshman Freddy Avis sails through Sundays bullpen session
with pitching coach Rusty Filter looking on.
Danks made only nine starts last
season and, after trying to rehab
through his shoulder injury, had
arthroscopic surgery in August to
repair a capsular tear and minor
debridement of the rotator cuff and
biceps in the shoulder. He has been
on a normal workload and routine
this spring and has been saying he
expects to be on the opening-day
roster.
Mondays start was an important
step in his recovery process.
Im glad its over, he said. I
couldnt have really asked for more.
I dont want to give up homers, but
my main focus was throwing strikes
and I was able to do that.
Ryan Vogelsong allowed three
runs on four hits in his third spring
start for the Giants. Vogelsong made
his last appearance before he joins
Team USA for the World Baseball
Classic. He threw five scoreless
innings over his rst two starts.
Its early, Vogelsong said. My
location has been pretty good, so
that helps.
Matt Cain pitched three innings in
relief, allowing two runs and ve
hits. Cains spring ERA is 6.43.
White Sox outfielder Dewayne
Wise hit an opposite-eld, three-run
homer near the left-eld foul pole
against Josh Osich, who inherited
two of Vogelsongs baserunners.
Jeff Keppinger, signed in the offsea-
son to play third base for Chicago,
singled three times in three at-bats
and stole a base. Alexei Ramirez
doubled in a run and Paul Konerko
singled in a run.
NOTES: White Sox right-handed
reliever Jesse Crain, who was
scheduled to pitch for Canada in the
World Baseball Classic, withdrew
due to a strained right adductor.
Crain said he hopes to return to his
normal routine in a week.
GIANTS
PHOENIX John Jaso was
brought to Oakland as a backup. He
showed what he could do as a
starter.
Jaso had a bases-loaded triple,
Brandon Moss had two hits and an
RBI, and the Oakland Athletics beat
the Los Angeles Angels 13-5 on
Monday.
Hes always had good numbers
but its still good to see him hit like
that, As manager Bob Melvin said.
He got that triple off a left-hander
and hes had good at-bats this year.
Jaso, a four-year veteran, was
obtained in a three-way trade from
the Seattle Mariners to backup
catcher Derek Norris.
Vernon Wells hit a three-run home
run, extending his hitting streak to
ve games, and reigning AL Rookie
of the Year Mike Trout had three hits
for the Angels, who lost their third
straight. Howie Kendrick and Scott
Cousins also drove in runs.
Josh Reddick, Jed Lowrie and
Moss each drove in runs in the fth
to put Oakland ahead to stay.
Angels starter Jason Vargas went
two scoreless innings, walking one
and striking out one in his rst out-
ing of the spring.
I felt pretty dialed in, Vargas
said. I mainly threw fastballs and
tried to pound the strike zone. I
threw a couple of decent change-ups
but thats not something Im wor-
ried about. Its been there for a
while.
As starter Dan Straily allowed
two runs on four hits over 2 1-3
innings. He struck out two.
The inside fastball to right-han-
ders was what Curt (Young) and I
talked about before the game,
Straily said. That was something I
got better doing. It wasnt the great-
est outing but Im still working on
stuff to get better.
Melvin didnt seem worried.
He pitched well, Melvin said.
Hes working on things and gave
up a couple of runs.
Jaso helps As get past Angels, 13-5

Nina Newman were the bread while
Lauren Rally was the meat to the
CCS championship sandwich.
Michaels got the Burlingame
offense going with 15 points in the
rst half and Nina Newman scored
eight big points as part of a very
strong third quarter. But the most
consistent player on Championship
Saturday at Foothill College was
Rally and her 16 points.
The Panthers arent the only ones
making some important room in
their trophy cases.
Menlo School added three CCS
championship titles over the week-
end.
Senior center Drew Edelman was
her MVP-self in Menlos title run. In
a CCS seminal win over Scotts
Valley, the USC-bound star scored
30 points and pulled down 23
rebounds. And in the CCS nal
against Sacred Heart Prep, Edelman
was nearly unstoppable in a rst half
that saw the Knights build a 29-9
lead. Edelman scored 25 points and
brought down 19 boards in a 55-32
win the victory gave the Menlo
girls their rst title since 1995.
For the Menlo boys basketball
team, junior guard Bobby Roth
showed great leadership and hit
clutch baskets throughout the play-
offs. He scored 13 points each in the
seminal against Palma and the nal
against Half Moon Bay. In the
championship, he hit several key
baskets, then nished with seven of
his 13 points in the fourth quarter of
a 46-41 win.
And in boys soccer, a showdown
between rival Gators and Knights
gave senior goalie Timmy Costa a
chance to shine on the offensive end.
After thwarting several SHP attacks,
it was actually Costas penalty kick
that pulled Menlo into a 1-1 tie for
the rst CCS boys soccer champi-
onship in school history.
It was a co-championship and the
Knights have Andrew Segre to thank
for that. The SHP forward scored the
lone goal for his team in the champi-
onship game.
Speaking of co-championship, the
Woodside girls soccer team picked
up its rst CCS title (Division I)
since 1977 the first year of
Central Coast Section girls soccer
competition. There were no goals in
regulation, so props go out to the
entire Wildcats defense perhaps
more specically to a player like
Randall Stafford, one of the few
Woodside seniors on the team, and
one who will graduate in June as a
CCS champion.
Not all title runs had happy end-
ings. The Serra and Half Moon Bay
boys basketball teams, along with
the historic Woodside girls hoops
squad and the Sacred Heart Prep
team saw their dreams end a win
short.
In those losses, Sean Watkins and
Jaqui Biggins (Serra), Rico Nuno
and Corey Cilia (Half Moon Bay)
and Madison Michelis (Woodside)
and Melissa Holland (SHP) were
offensive standouts.
And while there is still the CIF
basketball championships to cover
before the Honor Roll can ofcially
put a stamp to the winter season, the
spring sports are already in full
swing.
For Menlo baseball, it was the
Adam Greenstein show on the nal
day of the Tim Kuenhnert Memorial
tournament as the senior did it in
eld, on the mound and at the plate
in Menlos 1-0 victory over
Woodside on Saturday.
Greenstein made a diving stop at
shortstop in the second inning and
ipped the ball to second basemen
Sam Crowder to save a run and then
came on in relief in the sixth with no
outs and one on, and proceeded to
retire the next six batters in order.
Greenstein picked up the win and
he then had the walk-off hit, driving
in Graham Stafford who opened the
inning with a double and advanced
to third on a sacrice bunt.
The extremely well pitched and
played game only took an hour and
23 minutes as Woodside pitcher
John Mahoney was effective, throw-
ing a complete game and allowing
only six hits while walking six and
striking out one. Three Menlo pitch-
ers combined for the shutout, throw-
ing only 74 pitches in the process.
The Carlmont baseball team is
playing very well to begin the sea-
son and continued to do so last week
with a couple of wins over San Jose
schools.
Against Lynbrook, Kyle Barret
launched the Scots rst home run of
2013, a two-run shot in the fth
inning. He was also responsible for
the games rst RBI with a ground-
out in the first that scored Kai
Haake. Third baseman Matt Seubert
drove in three runs with sacrice
ies in the second, fourth and fth
innings. Hit leaders of the game
were Tanner Westmoreland (3 for 4),
Jason Marley (2 for 3) and
Johnathan Corvello (2 for 2).
Starting pitcher Ryan Hogan
secured his second victory with six
innings of work, allowing just one
earned run on three Vikings hits.
Against Overfelt, the Scots
exploded with six runs (three
earned) in the bottom of the fth
inning with runs driven in by Barret
(two-run single), Haake (single),
Marley (single) and Corvello (sac
bunt). Starter Matt Seubert pitched
the rst four innings, surrendering
just one unearned run on three hits,
no walks and tallying six strikeouts.
Evan McClain came and threw the
nal three innings, picking up the
win while striking out ve.
Elsewhere in the spring sports,
Sacred Heart Prep defeated Menlo-
Atherton 201-221 last Thursday at
Sharon Heights Golf and Country
Club. Bradley Knox was the medal-
ist shooting an even par 36. ... Scott
Taggert of Burlingame tennis went
2-0, picking up wins against Jorge
Lopez and Devon Hughes, dropping
only three points in the process. ...
For Menlo-Atherton lacrosse,
Duncan McGinnis had a huge week.
The Bear scored 13 goals and tallied
four assists in three games. ... Chase
Connell was solid in goal for M-A.
... For SHP baseball, Will Nahmens
moved to 2-0 with a win over San
Mateo. ... Hank Robson had four hits
in that win as well. ... The SHP girls
lacrosse team moved to 2-0 after a
13-0 win against Notre Dame-San
Jose. Brigid White scored a hat trick
in that win. ... And nally, SHPs
Bret Hinrichs won four events in a

experience, Floro-Cruz said. This
year, I wanted to make the most of
it. I decided to give it a shot. I real-
ly worked really hard. Its just been
a crazy ride. I couldnt have asked
for anything more.
And the Panthers couldnt have
asked anymore from the point guard
especially during the CCS play-
offs.
After averaging ve points per
game in the regular season, Floro-
Cruz more than doubled that during
the post season to 12 points per
including a big 20-point outpour
that propelled Burlingame past
Mills and into the CCS nals last
Wednesday night and 11 huge
points in the championship game
that included clutch free throws
down the stretch.
For his efforts, Floro-Cruz is the
Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
Hes been tremendous, said
Burlingame head coach Pete
Harames. This year, Ive been try-
ing to encourage him to shoot,
because he can shoot. And slowly
but surely, hes more condent with
taking the shot. Hes really helped
us offensively. Hes a tremendous
kid. Hes a quiet assassin. Hes just
a wonderful kid whos constantly
concentrating on being better.
I think when people see the num-
bers, theyre really surprised by
what Ive put up in the playoffs,
Floro-Cruz said. I think my team-
mates know I have the ability to do
that its just that I always look for
my teammates rst. But as the play-
offs came around, my teammates
and my coaches were encouraging
me saying that if we want to win,
we need you. When I know people
are counting on me, I try to do the
best I can. I think that was the main
difference.
Floro-Cruz was a difference-
maker in all three CCS games. Its a
contribution that went beyond just
the point total. As the point guard,
the ow of the offense is Floro-
Cruzs responsibility and it wasnt
one he necessarily slid into natural-
ly at the seasons start.
When you dont play as a junior,
it takes time. And to do it against
those WCAL teams, pressing full
court, banging him as physical as
they were, it was a rite of passage
for him, Harames said. And he
earned it. He held up. And that
experience, once league rolled, he
had great condence in his ball-han-
dling. Hes improved progressively
during the season to where hes very
condent now.
Its a condence thats best when
the pressure is on.
What makes me play so calm is,
I know people are relying on me,
Floro-Cruz said. When I know my
coaches are relying on, my team-
mates are relying on me, its just
something that comes easy for me. I
dont think about it too much.
Floro-Cruz and the Panthers cele-
brated like champions over the
weekend, but now must turn their
attention to the CIF State playoffs
that begin Wednesday night.
His leadership and his tenacity is
tremendous, Harames said. Point
guard to me is, youre in the game,
you have the feel of the game, so go
for it.
Floro-Cruz did just that and the
Panthers are happy he did.

ALAMEDA Oakland Raiders
offensive lineman Mike Brisiel has
restructured his contract to give the

Brisiel converted $3 million of his
$4.35 million base salary into a
guaranteed roster bonus paid next
week, agent Jeff Sperbeck said in an
email. The restructuring was rst
reported by the Bay Area News

Brisiel is in the second year of a
$20 million, ve-year contract. He
struggled in his first year with
Oakland and underwent major ankle
surgery in the offseason to x a
problem that hindered him during
the season.
Brisiel was brought in for his

Oakland is switching to a more

Long wait in Kenya
vote; 19 dead in Mombasa
MOMBASA, Kenya Kenyas
presidential election drew millions
of eager voters who endured long
lines to cast ballots Monday, but the
vote was marred by violence that
left 19 people dead, including four
policemen hacked to death by
machete-wielding separatists.
Ofcials urged voters not to be
intimidated by the violence amid
fears the impending election results
could spark another round of the
ethnic-related bloodshed in which
more than 1,000 people died after
the 2007 vote.
The election is the rst presiden-
tial poll under a new constitution
designed to prevent the ethnic vio-
lence of 2007-08. Enthusiastic vot-
ers formed long lines around the
country, and election ofcials esti-
mated turnout at 70 percent of 14
million registered voters.
The voting got off to a bloody
start when a group of 200 separatists
set a trap for police in the coastal
city of Mombasa in the pre-dawn
hours, Inspector General David
Kimaiyo said. Four police were
hacked to death with machetes,
coast police boss Aggrey Adoli said.
China opens congress that

BEIJING Newly installed
Chinese leader Xi Jinping faces an
early test of his pledges to curb cor-
ruption, raise living standards and
create a fairer society when Chinas
national legislature opens Tuesday
to appoint top government posts and
approve policies.
The annual session of the
National Peoples Congress comes
as the government has shifted more
resources to provide social benets
to an increasingly demanding public
that is empowered by the Internet
and tired of the waste and extrava-
gance of the governing Communist
elite.
An indication of the Xi leader-
ships priorities and how it is doing
in consolidating power after three
months in ofce will come with the
opening policy address to the con-
gress. Though given by Premier
Wen Jiabao, who is retiring after a
decade in ofce, the address and an
accompanying budget are consensus
documents approved by Xi and oth-
ers in the collective leadership.
Around the world
By Nicole Wineld
VATICAN CITY Cardinals
said Monday they want to talk to
Vatican managers about allegations
of corruption and cronyism within
the top levels of the Catholic
Church before they elect the next
pope, evidence that a scandal over
leaked papal documents is casting a
shadow over the conclave and set-
ting up one of the most unpre-
dictable papal elections in recent
times.
The Vatican said 107 of the 115
voting-age cardinals attended the
rst day of pre-conclave meetings,
at which cardinals organize the
election, discuss the problems of the
church and get to know one another
before voting.
The red-capped princes of the
church took an oath of secrecy and
decided to pen a letter of greeting
and gratitude to Benedict XVI,
whose resignation has thrown the
church into turmoil amid a torrent
of scandals inside and out of the
Vatican.
I would imagine that as we move
along there will be questioning of
cardinals involved in the governing
of the Curia to see what they think
has to be changed, and in that con-
text anything can come up, said
U.S. Cardinal Francis George.
The Holy Sees administrative
shortcomings were thrust into stark
relief last year with the publication
of documents stolen from
Benedicts desk that exposed the
petty infighting, turf battles and
allegations of corruption, nepotism
and cronyism in the highest eche-
lons of the Catholic Church.
The popes butler was convicted
of stealing the papers and leaking
them to a journalist; he eventually
received a papal pardon.
The emeritus pope, meanwhile,
remained holed up at the papal resi-
dence at Castel Gandolfo, his tem-
porary retirement home while the
discussions on picking his successor
kick into gear in Rome.
No date has been set yet for the
conclave and one may not be decid-
ed on ofcially for a few more days;
the dean of the College of Cardinals
has said a date wont be nalized
until all the cardinals have arrived.
Eight voting-age cardinals are
still en route to Rome; some had
previously scheduled speaking
engagements, others were due in
over the coming days, the Vatican
said. Their absence, however, didnt
otherwise delay the conclaves
preparations.
Speculation has mounted that the
conclave might begin around March
11, with the aim of having a new
pope installed by March 17, the
Sunday before Palm Sunday and the
start of Holy Week.
weekday afternoon. Josh Lauder,
Myles Jeffery and Jeremy Stern fol-
lowed Manny and Bee Cherkas,
who had a variety of issues.
Seventeen-year-old Lauder, a jun-
ior at Menlo School, started the pro-
gram. Inspired by working with his
own grandparents to help them mas-
ter changes in technology, Lauder
thought others could benet from
the help. Teens visited Moldaw
Residences before and the success
inspired Lauder to turn it into a
school public service requirement.
In total, there will be four visits by
the group of teen volunteers, many
of whom get volunteer hours for
their work. Then Lauder will write
up and talk about the experience.
For the seniors, the time offered
by students provides a much-needed
service.
In the Cherkas home, the boys
had a few tasks to tackle. Bee
Cherkas has a ash drive which will
hold important medical information
about her. Once the information is
uploaded, the ash drive will be
added to a key ring so that if some-
thing should happen, emergency
workers would know what they
need to about her. The problem was
scanning the documents to put them
on the ash drive. After a bit of
looking at the couples scanner,
Lauder realized the flash drive
could be plugged straight into the
machine for easy loading.
In the other room, Jeffery and
Stern worked with Manny Cherkas
to master a tablet that previously
wouldnt hold a charge. The teens
looked up troubleshooting direc-
tions on their smartphones while
offering suggestions to Cherkas.
After a bit of research, the group
decided on steps to take and hope it
will work going forward.
Jeffery, 16, never thought about
offering to help seniors until asked
to volunteer. He doesnt need the
hours but was helping out simply
because he was asked.
Stern, on the other hand, was
returning last week to help tutor
seniors for the second time.
The Cherkas enjoyed having the
help from the teens.
Its wonderful. We didnt grow
up with [computers], said Bee
Cherkas, who added she can man-
age but likes to nd ways to do
things faster.
Once everyone had returned to
the original circle, other seniors
reported similar success.
Zdenka Levy, for example, had
two questions on which she wanted
her teen tutor focus. Things went so
quickly, however, she was able to
ask and get answered all six ques-
tions she actually had.
It was marvelous, Levy said,
who wrote down the process so she
could duplicate it in the future if
needed.

HEALTH 17
By Garance Burke and Judy Lin
OAKLAND Set on a gritty corner of
Oaklands International Boulevard, the non-
prot Street Level Health Project offers free
checkups to patients who speak a total of 22
languages, from recent Mongolian immi-
grants seeking a doctor to Burmese refugees
in need of a basic dental exam.
It also provides a window into one of the
challenges for state ofcials who are trying to
implement the Affordable Care Act, President
Barack Obamas sweeping health care over-
haul.
Understanding the law is a challenge even
for governors, state lawmakers and agency
ofcials, but delivering its message to non-
English speakers who can benet from it is
shaping up as a special complication. That is
especially true in states with large and diverse
immigrant populations.
For Zaya Jaden, a 35-year-old from
Mongolia, getting free care for her sisters
persistent migraine was a much higher priori-
ty than considering how the expansion of the
nations social safety net through the
Affordable Care Act might benet her.
The sisters crammed into the clinics wait-
ing room, sandwiched between families chat-
ting in the indigenous Guatemalan language
Mam, and discussed whether enrolling in
Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act
would work for the familys nances.
It was a good idea that Obama had, but I
dont know if it will work for me, said Jaden,
who gets private insurance for her family
through her job as a laundress at an Oakland
hotel and currently makes too much money to
qualify for Medicaid. If I make less than
what I make to try to qualify for the govern-
ment program, how could I pay my rent?
Jadens ambivalence demonstrates the cul-
tural and language hurdles that California and
several other states are facing as they build
exchanges or health insurance market-
places and try to expand coverage to ethnic
and hard-to-reach populations.
California has the largest minority popula-
tion of any state, about 22.3 million people.
Thats followed by Texas with 13.7 million,
New York with 8.1 million, Florida with 7.9
million and Illinois with 4.7 million.
In Illinois, where nearly 1.2 million resi-
dents dont speak English well, the task of
translating information about the health care
overhaul into other languages has fallen to
nonprot groups and community organiza-
tions.
So far its fallen to us, and we dont know
what (the states) capacity will be to go
beyond Spanish, said Stephanie Altman of
Health and Disability Advocates.
The state intends to submit an outreach plan
to the federal government this spring. Illinois
ofcials expect federal grant money eventual-
ly will be available to help reach non-English
speakers, said Mike Claffey, a spokesman for
Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn.
The U.S. Census estimates that more than
55 million people speak a language other than
English at home. Nearly 63 percent of those
are Spanish-speakers, with the highest con-
centrations in Texas, California and New
Mexico. Chinese was the third most common-
ly spoken language, with large populations in
California, New York, Hawaii and
Massachusetts.
Five other languages have at least 1 million
speakers: Tagalog, French, Vietnamese,
German and Korean.
In California, two-thirds of the estimated
2.6 million adults who will be eligible for fed-
eral subsidies in the health care exchange will
be people of color, while roughly 1 million
will speak English less than very well, accord-
ing to a joint study by the California Pan-
Ethnic Health Network and the UCLA Center
for Health Policy Research and the University
of California, Berkeley Labor Center.
With such diversity in cultures and lan-
guage, the authors said the success of health
care reform hinges in large part on how well
the state conducts culturally and linguistically
competent outreach and enrollment efforts.
If the exchange did no targeted outreach,
there could be 110,000 fewer limited-English
proficient individuals enrolled, said Cary
Sanders, director of policy analysis for
CPEHN, an Oakland-based multicultural
health advocacy group.
Even the relatively mundane task of devel-
oping a brand for Californias new health care
exchange has prompted some angst.
The exchanges staff tried to come up with a
name that signified health insurance and
would translate well into Spanish, Chinese,
Tagalog, Vietnamese and other languages
commonly used in California.
The exchanges ve-member board settled
on Covered California and is currently test-
ing tag lines to see which words resonate best
in focus groups. Advocates disappointed by
the name are hoping the board selects a tag
line that will be simple to understand and
translate.
Jaden, for instance, said she had no idea
how Covered California would translate to
Mongolian.
Languages, cultures challenge health reform
California faces cultural and linguistic challenges in trying to market the states new
health insurance exchange to limited-English speakers and
hard-to-reach populations. Many say they speak English less than very well.
Here are the most commonly spoken languages besides English for people older than
age 5 in California:

More importantly, they want Covered
California to launch an inclusive marketing
and outreach campaign in a place where a
majority of the population is not white and
nearly 7 million residents speak limited
English.
Covered California translates to
California Cubierto in Spanish, but what
exactly does it mean? said Laura Lopez,
Street Level Health Projects executive direc-
tor, who immigrated to the United States from
Peru years ago. Its not just providing a piece
of paper that says this is what is covered. Its
really having people on the ground talking
with the community.
Californias exchange isnt shying away
from the challenges.
Its executive director, Peter Lee, recently
announced that new federal funding will be
used to support a multi-language campaign,
build a network of community-based assis-
tants who can guide people to the right health
plan and multilingual call centers.
The exchange is making $43 million avail-
able for community-based organizations,
faith-based groups, nonprots and local gov-
ernments to compete for outreach and educa-
tion grants.
California is unique from every other state
not only geographically because our popula-
tion is spread out, but you have multiple eth-
nic populations that are traditionally hard to
reach, and they need their own custom way to
be reached, said Oscar Hidalgo, the
exchanges communications director.
The exchange estimates that 5.6 million
Californians are without health insurance, or
16 percent of the population under age 65. Of
that number, 4.6 million are eligible for cov-
erage under the Affordable Care Act, while
the rest are not because of their immigration
status.
Advocates say California should rene its
efforts to reach non-English speakers.
Doreena Wong, who promotes health access
for immigrants at the Los Angeles-based
Asian Pacific American Legal Center, is
among those urging the exchange to build a
website that is not just in English and Spanish,
but to offer translations in other languages
prevalent throughout the state: Arabic,
Armenian, Chinese, Farsi (Persian), Hmong,
Khmer (Cambodian), Korean, Russian,
Tagalog and Vietnamese.
According to the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services Ofce for Civil Rights,
organizations that receive federal funding
have to provide written notices in English,
Spanish and other languages spoken by 10
percent or more of the households in the area
they serve.
Wong recently told the board that many
people eligible for the exchange arent pro-
cient in English, have limited education or
have never had health care insurance. Other
groups have requested the exchange, at a min-
imum, add Chinese.
Hidalgo said the states health exchange
website, www.coveredca.com , is being creat-
ed in such a way more languages can be added
later. He said the exchange rst needs to
launch an introductory website where con-
sumers can learn about impending health care
changes, such as federal subsidies for working
families and tax credits for small businesses.
Its very challenging to put together a web-
site thats consumer friendly in English, and
then to do it in 13 languages is a very, very big
task, he said. I think whats important for us
is to take a step in English and Spanish and
gure out what the feedback is. ... We dont
have all the answers at this moment, but were
going to nd them.

THEASSOCIATED PRESS
BAKERSFIELD Police on Monday
were investigating whether there was any
criminal wrongdoing in the handling of a
health emergency at an independent living
facility where a woman died after a nurse
refused to provide CPR.
An ofcial at Glenwood Gardens, a sprawl-
ing, gated facility in Bakerseld, defended the
nurse, saying she had followed policy in deal-
ing with the 87-year-old woman who col-
lapsed in a dining room.
A police dispatcher who elded the 911 call
was told the woman appeared to have a heart
problem and was barely breathing.
Police immediately routed the call to the
Bakerseld Fire Department, where a dis-
patcher pleaded with a nurse at the home to
perform CPR on the woman.
The nurse refused, saying one of the facili-
tys policies prevented her from doing CPR,
according to an audio recording of the call.
Michaela Beard, a spokeswoman for
Bakerseld police, said she couldnt provide
any further information because the investiga-
tion was ongoing.
An unidentied woman made the Feb. 26
call, and asked for paramedics to be sent to
help the woman. Later, a woman who identi-
ed herself as a nurse got on the phone and
told dispatcher Tracey Halvorson she was not
permitted to do CPR on the woman.
Halvorson urged the nurse to start CPR,
warning the consequences could be dire if no
one tried to revive the woman, who had been
laid out on the oor on her instructions.
I understand if your boss is telling you,
you cant do it, the dispatcher said. But ... as
a human being ... you know, is there anybody
thats willing to help this lady and not let her
die?
Not at this time, the nurse answered.
During the 7-minute, 16-second call,
Halvorson assured the nurse that Glenwood
couldnt be sued if anything went wrong in
attempts to resuscitate the resident, saying the
local emergency medical system takes the
liability for this call, the transcript states.
Later in the call, Halvorson asks, Is there a
gardener? Any staff, anyone who doesnt
work for you? Anywhere? Can we ag some-
one down in the street and get them to help
this lady? Can we ag a stranger down? I bet
a stranger would help her.
Halvorson is an experienced dispatcher and
has worked for the county center for at least a
decade, Kern County Fire Department Deputy
Chief Michael Miller said.
She followed procedures until she ran out of
options when the caller refused to perform
CPR or identify anyone else who could,
Miller said.
Its not uncommon to have someone refuse
to provide CPR if they physically cant do it,
or theyre so upset they just cant function,
Miller said. What made this one unique was
the way the conversation on the phone went.
It was just very frustrating to anyone listening
to it, like, why wasnt anyone helping this
poor woman, since CPR today is much sim-
pler than it was in the past?
Firefighters and ambulance personnel
arrived at the facility seven minutes after the
call came in, Miller said.
Woman dies after nurse refuses to do CPR
HEALTH 19
By Kyle Potter
MINNEAPOLIS During a key scene in
the play Venus in Fur the lead actress lights
up a Marlboro from her purse and takes a
drag, tilting her head backward while exhal-
ing a long stream of smoke.
Vanda smokes for only about a minute
before dropping the cigarette into her coffee
mug, but its a pivotal moment that begins the
characters transformation into an assertive
woman. And some theater employees say it
wouldnt feel nearly as raw if the actress
couldnt smoke an actual cigarette on stage.
If youre going to be authentic to that
aspect of a play, its essential, said Bain
Boehlke, artistic director at The Jungle
Theater in Minneapolis, where Venus in
Fur currently is playing. Just the smell of
the cigarette smoke is part of the world of the
play.
Those moments of authenticity could
become harder to pull off in Minnesota if
lawmakers amend the states smoking ban to
eliminate an exemption for theatrical produc-
tions. Now that alternatives exist, a state sen-
ator says theres no reason actors should sub-
ject the audience to tobacco fumes or glorify
smoking on stage, and she has introduced a
bill that would ban the practice.
Its so much easier to use e-cigarettes or to
use something else that doesnt have all the
carcinogens in it, said Barb Goodwin, a
Columbia Heights Democrat.
Minnesota is one of 11 states, plus
Washington, D.C., in which smoking bans
dont apply to actors lighting up on stage.
Goodwin said she proposed her bill on
behalf of a constituent, a frequent theatergoer
with a severe allergy to cigarette smoke. The
senator also worries that actors smoking
onstage glamorizes tobacco for children.
Her constituent, Joan Gilmore, said ciga-
rette smoke makes her throat tighten and her
head pound. Gilmore, a 53-year-old sailing
instructor from Fridley, said she has had to
leave three plays early and skipped others
after learning that actors would smoke
onstage. She doesnt see why its a big deal
for actors to use pretend cigarettes.
Theater is all about illusion, Gilmore
said.
But Boehlke and other directors worry that
the clink of an electronic cigarette on an
ashtray or the smell of burning herbs will pull
the audience out of the action of the play.
The Minnesota Opera already chooses not
to use tobacco cigarettes, in part because its
bad for a singers voice.
Actors at the Guthrie Theater,
Minneapolis drama kingpin, rarely light up
real cigarettes. An actor smoked an electron-
ic cigar in the recent performance of Long
Days Journey into Night.
But theater spokesman Quinton Skinner
said the Guthrie wants to keep tobacco ciga-
rettes an option, especially for plays set in a
time when smoking was part of a fabric of
society.
In order to realistically depict that, you
need to have some onstage smoking,
Skinner said.
Minnesotas exemption dates to 2007,
when a group of theaters asked lawmakers
for a pass as they put the nal touches on the
statewide smoking ban. Larry Redmond, a
lobbyist for Minnesotan Citizens for the Arts
who led that push, said his organization will
ght against any change. He called it a mat-
ter of artistic freedom.
Goodwin rejects that.
Whats going to happen if they dont
smoke in that production? Really, how is that
going to have a good bearing on the way peo-
ple feel about the play? she asked incredu-
lously.
Goodwin said shes open to allowing actors
to smoke herbal cigarettes, but some directors
arent sold.
Joel Sass, who directed Venus in Fur at
the Jungle, said most actors and audiences
have hated the herbal alternatives when he
has seen them used.
To smoke, or not? In Minneapolis, that is the question
If youre going to be authentic to that
aspect of a play, its essential. ... Just the smell
of the cigarette smoke is part of the world of the play.

Campbell requesting the boundaries be
changed from the South San Francisco
Unied School District. Along with the
fact that the land previously housed a
school in the San Bruno Park
Elementary School District, the petition-
ers also note most of the neighborhood
children attend school in San Bruno. As
such, they would like to continue with
friends through high school into the San
Mateo Union High School District,
according to the petition.
South San Francisco school ofcials
oppose the switch while elected repre-
sentatives of both San Mateo Union and
San Bruno Park support it. Tonight, the
San Mateo County Committee on
School District Organization could make
a decision on the petition. Since the dis-
tricts involved disagree, the committees
decision could be to put the question to
the affected property owners through a
special election.
San Bruno students attended Carl
Sandburg Elementary on Evergreen
Drive in San Bruno until it was closed in
1978. In 2005, the land was sold and,
shortly after, houses were built which
brought families to the area. While the
land is located within San Bruno city
limits, it is also located within the South
San Francisco Unied School District
boundary. Both San Bruno Park
Elementary and South San Francisco
Unied school districts saw the land as
being within its boundaries. In 2010,
both sides disagreed on the topic so it
remained with South San Francisco.
Both the South San Francisco and San
Bruno districts wanted the parcel when
discussing the boundary lines in 2010.
That hasnt changed. School boundaries
were drawn prior to city limits. When
Carl Sandburg Elementary was built, the
land was in unincorporated San Mateo
County. In 1977, the Local Agency
Formation Commission annexed the
land to the city of San Bruno.
Its not only about boundaries. The
boundaries dictate where property rev-
enue is funneled.
In 2005, the San Bruno district sold
the site for $30.5 million which became
the land on which 70 single-family
homes were built. In 2007, property tax
revenue from the site began to be col-
lected and forwarded to the South San
Francisco Unied School District. If the
school district boundaries are changed,
future tax revenue would instead go to
San Bruno Park Elementary and San
Mateo Union High school districts.
More recently, the money debate has
also included developer fees collected
by San Bruno Park during construction
of the housing on the Sandburg land.
South San Francisco contends it should
have received the funds a request to
be paid that money was made to San
Bruno Park earlier this year.
Just last year, such a request from
property owners spurred a special elec-
tion.
In 2011, Mark Bendick submitted a
neighborhood petition to change the
school assignments for the homes on
Fairmont Drive. At the time, students
were zoned to attend Belmont-Redwood
Shores Elementary and Sequoia Union
High school districts. Under the propos-
al, students would instead attend the San
Mateo-Foster City Elementary and San
Mateo Union High school districts. In
October, the San Mateo County
Committee on School District
Organization gave a preliminary OK to
the plans but only one of the four dis-
tricts involved supported the plan. As
such, a special election was held in May
2012 among the 77 voters who ultimate-
ly decided to allow the property transfer.
The committee meets 7 p.m. Tuesday,
March 5 in the Pine and Oak Rooms at
the San Mateo County Office of
Education, 101 Twin Dolphin Drive,
Redwood City.

they stir up, such as fecal matter and
other ne particulates.
Both Lim and Grotte said it was the
main topic of concern they heard from
city residents when they last campaigned
for their seats in 2009.
But Lim said last night that not even
environmental groups such as the Sierra
Club will take a stance on their use.
Lim now favors an exchange program
such as the one implemented by the
South Coast Air Quality Management
District in Southern California.
That program helps subsidize the
replacement of older leaf blowers with
newer ones that are less noisy and create
less emissions.
The Northern California Bay Area
Quality Management District, however,
does not have plans currently to imple-
ment such a program but Lim said it
should.
Both Deputy Mayor Robert Ross and
Councilman Jack Matthews said there
was not enough scientic evidence to
support that leaf blowers actually create
health hazards.
Councilwoman Maureen Freschet was
absent from the meeting as she was
attending her fathers funeral last night.
Lim suggested, however, that her input
last night could have added signicantly
to the discussion as to whether to move
forward with pursuing a ban.
It is likely the council will study the
issue more before it decides to amend its
municipal ordinance that regulates the
use of leaf blowers.
The problem, the council agreed, is
that the current ordinance is too difcult
to enforce.
We need to pass a law people can
enforce, Lim said.
An outright leaf blower ban is in effect
in Santa Monica but city ofcials there
have expressed that it is difcult to
enforce, Community Development
Director Lisa Grote told the council last
night.
A few gardeners urged the council to
seek greater outreach with the gardening
community to help them stick to the
citys rules regarding leaf blower use.
They also said a ban could put them
out of work as the price for landscaping
would increase substantially if rakes and
brooms are used instead of leaf blowers.
Others, however, stated that all leaf
blowers lead to health problems such as
hearing loss and respiratory problems.
Burlingame recently amended its
municipal code to limit leaf blowers dur-
ing certain days and certain times.
Currently, leaf blowers are allowed to
be used weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Use
is prohibited on Sundays and major hol-
idays.
The City Council adopted a leaf blow-
er ordinance in 1997.

concentrate on furthering your own abilities. Try to

mean that it will for you. Experiment to fnd your

chance that one of your well-intentioned gestures
might produce some unintended and unpleasant
effects, causing others to have diffculty in

you know you shouldnt, causing you much guilt later.
aQUariUs (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A lot of
disappointment is possible if you base your
expectations on unrealistic premises. Make it a point
to try to see things for what they are and not as you
