A San Bruno foundation estab-
lished as a result of the Sept. 9,
2010, PG&E explosion and re
that killed eight and injuring 66 is
taking its initial steps toward
becoming a full-edged nonprot.
The groups board of directors
selected in the fall of 2013 say
they are about a year out from cre-
ating goals for what to do with the
$68.75 million in settlement
funds from Pacific Gas and
Electric. The agreement species
the San Bruno Community
Foundation allocates the funds for
the benet of the entire city and
cant be used for general city oper-
ations. The funds from this agree-
ment are separate from the $50
million trust agreement to speci-
cally benet the Crestmoor neigh-
borhood damaged in the blast.
The board is currently focusing
on ling the critical Form 1023 to
apply for federal approval as a
nonprofit entity, said board
President Nancy Kraus. Its first
ofcial meeting was March 20.
The journey the foundation is
on to become legally and fully
operational as a not-for-profit
organization requires that the
board adopt a myriad of policies
and procedures for governance,
she said. That is the boards focus
at the moment ling the Form
1023 as expeditiously as possi-
ble. The next steps will be to con-
sider policies [on the] budget,
stafng, investments, grant mak-
ing and formulating the many
related procedures that each of
these pathways will require. The
board must also consider the
development of branding, web-

WASHINGTON The Senate
voted 59-38 Monday to resurrect
federal jobless benefits for the

as well.

Planning has resumed for the
Station Park Green site near San
Mateos Hayward Park Caltrain
station after nancing delayed the
large-scale transit-oriented devel-
opment.
EBL&S Development submitted
a pre-application to the city
March 19 with a few changes, said
Lorraine Weiss, a contract senior
planner with the city. With the
massive development regaining
traction, the public will have more
opportunities to weigh in on the
specics.

2011, the City

acre Station

The original application called
for 599 residential units, between
10,000 and 45,000 square feet of
ofce space and between 25,000
to 60,000 square feet of retail
space at 1700 S. Delaware St. and
Concar Drive.
The proposed number of residen-
tial units still stands, but the
developer has narrowed its plans
for the Kmart site down to 10,000
square feet of ofce space, 25,000
square feet of retail space and has
changed its parking conguration,
Weiss said.
Parking was originally pro-
posed underground, however, the

Burlingame citizens are trying
to help it live up to its name the
city of trees through their new
Adopt-a-Tree program.
The Citizens Environmental
Council-Burlingame, or CEC, and
the city of Burlingame launched
the new Adopt-a-Tree program on
Arbor Day, March 7 to help ensure
the health of the 300
trees that are planted
in the city each year.
Its a great way to
get the community
involved, said
Kathy Meriwether,
director of the CEC-
Burlingame. Its a
real simple little thing
that makes a long-term dif-
ference in the environment.
Young trees need regular
watering during their forma-
tive years and volunteers can
help by watering a tree
during its rst two years
during dry months with
ve gallons of water each
week.
The idea came about when

Woman complains to police
about marijuana quality
LUFKIN, Texas Police in East
Texas have arrested a woman after she
called them to complain about the
quality of the marijuana she had pur-
chased from a dealer.
Lufkin police Sgt. David Casper said
Monday that an ofcer went to the
home of 37-year-old Evelyn Hamilton
to hear her complaint that the dealer
refused to return her money after she
objected that the drug was substandard.
Casper says she pulled the small
amount of marijuana from her bra
when the ofcer asked if she still had
i t .
She was arrested Friday on a charge
of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Hamilton said Monday that she
spent $40 on seeds and residue. She
says she called police when she got no
satisfaction from the dealers family.
Massachusetts home
intruder turns out to be a duck
NORTH READING, Mass. Police
in Massachusetts responding to
reports of an intruder in a womans
home quickly quacked the case.
A North Reading woman called
police Saturday from her upstairs bed-
room to report that she heard loud
banging noises downstairs and feared
someone had broken into her home.
Officers who responded found no
sign of a break-in.
But during a quick search of the
home, police found a soot-covered
wood duck.
Police say it appears the duck got in
through the chimney.
An officer caught the duck and
released it into a nearby pond.
Two students
arrested over teacher fight
SANTA MONICA Santa Monica
police have arrested two teenagers
over a recorded classroom fight
between a student and a teacher.
Sgt. Jay Moroso says an 18-year-
old from Santa Monica High School
was arrested Friday on suspicion of
threatening a school ofcial, battery,
marijuana possession and possessing
a box cutter on campus.
A16-year-old was arrested on suspi-
cion of battery against a school
employee.
Names and details arent being
released but a county sheriffs website
says 18-year-old Blair Moore remains
jailed.
Avideo showed teacher Mark Black
struggling with a student on Friday
and pinning him to the oor. Blacks
on leave while the school district
investigates.
A message seeking comment from
the district superintendent wasnt
immediately returned.
Bikini-clad baristas
brewing up controversy
CLOVIS Bikini-clad baristas who
work at a Northern California coffee
shop are brewing up a bit of controver-
sy with some folks upset with their
attire.
Residents in Clovis are collecting
signatures for a petition telling City
Council members that they want the
servers at the Bottoms Up to either
cover up or close up shop permanent-
l y, the Fresno Bee reported.
Candice Eslick, 50, who lives a
block from the shop that began operat-
ing in January, said the attire choices
of servers are not right for her neigh-
borhood or the city. She hopes to
deliver a petition to the City Council
on April 21.
Meanwhile, Clovis City Attorney
David Wolfe said the city probably
cant do anything about the business.
Wolfe said residents called the city
after a TVstory on the shop last month
featured a barista apparently showing
too much skin when she bent over.
He said the TV report revealed too
much.
We dont usually address that in our
city code except in adult businesses.
All your private parts have to be fully
covered or its an adult business and
you have to go somewhere else, said
Wolfe, adding that city ofcials have
visited the shop and the business has
followed the rules.

Alegislative push to force the billionaire
owner of Martins Beach to reopen public
access to the strip of beach or face eminent
domain is likely getting some local support
by county supervisors at the urging of
Supervisor Don Horsley whose district
includes the controversial site south of Half
Moon Bay.
At Tuesday mornings board meeting,
Horsley will introduce a resolution support-
ing a bill by state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, that requires the State Lands
Commission to negotiate with owner Vinod
Khosla over reopening the public access
road. If no deal is met by Jan. 1, 2016, the
state could grab a piece of the property
through eminent domain for a public road,
according to Hills bill.
At the same time local supervisors are
weighing support of
Hills bill, the proposed
legislation is being heard
in the Senate Natural
Resources Committee.
In his report to fellow
board members, Horsley
cites Hills saying that
the public and local res-
idents have been
deprived of this national
treasure for long enough.
The boards anticipated approval carries
no legal weight but adds a showing of sup-
port to the bill which is already backed by
the Surfrider Foundation, the Committee for
Green Foothills and the California Coastal
Commission.
Horsley and members of these groups
joined Hill in February at Martins Beach
Road to announce his proposed Senate Bill
968.
Hill contends the state constitution guar-
antees public access to
thousands of miles of
coastline include
Martins Beach.
Khosla bought the 53-
acre parcel in 2008 and
closed Martins Beach to
the public, sparking
national news when a
group of surfers were
cited for trespassing and
became advocates for coastal access. Prior
to the purchase, the family owning the land
charged visitors $5 for access and parking
at the beach.
Two lawsuits stemming from the Martins
Beach closure are pending.
The San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors meets 9 a.m. Tuesday, April 8
in Board Chambers, 400 County
Government Center, Redwood City.

Dead deer indicates mountain
lion activity in Hillsborough
Police found a dead deer that showed
signs of having been killed by a mountain
lion in Hillsborough early Monday morn-
i ng.
The dead deer was found in the 1400
block of Tartan Trail, police said.
Mountain lion activity is not uncom-
mon in Hillsborough and San Mateo
County, according to Hillsborough police
Sgt. Nelson Corteway.
However, mountain lions are solitary
and rarely attack people, Corteway said.
Police advise residents to avoid hiking
or jogging during mountain lions active
hours of dawn, dusk and nighttime.
If someone does see a mountain lion,
they are advised to not run or approach it.
People should stand still, face the moun-
tain lion, make noise, wave their arms,
throw rocks or other objects and pick up
small children.
Most mountain lions will try to avoid
confrontation with people, according to
Corteway.
Teens with pellet rifles
prompt scare at elementary school
Agun scare that prompted the evacuation
of an elementary school campus in
Woodside on Saturday turned out to be
teens carrying pellet guns, San Mateo
County sheriffs officials said.
Deputies responded at about 2:30 p.m.
Saturday to Woodside Elementary School
at 3195 Woodside Road, where two people
were reported to be dressed in camouflage
and armed with rifles and a machete.
About 100 students and parents were on
the campus at the time and were evacuated
safely, sheriffs officials said.
Deputies quickly found the teens and
detained and questioned them, then turned
them over to family members, sheriffs
officials said.
Toxin found in
sport-harvested shellfish
State public health officials are warning
the public not to eat any sport-harvested
bivalve shellfish from the Monterey Bay
because consumption can lead to illness or
death.
Domoic acid has been detected in shell-
fish in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties,
according to the California Department of
Public Health.
The acid leads to an illness known as
amnesic shellfish poisoning.
There are no known cases of deaths due
to poisoning from domoic acid in
California, according to state public
health officials.
The warning applies to certain types of
seafood such as mussels, clams, oysters or
whole scallops, which fall under the cate-
gory of bivalve shellfish.
Commercial bivalve shellfish are not
under the warning since they are sold by
approved sources subject to frequent
mandatory testing for toxins, state public
health officials said.
Symptoms of domoic acid poisoning
include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal
cramps, headache and dizziness. Severe
symptoms include trouble breathing, con-
fusion, disorientation, cardiovascular
instability, seizures, excessive bronchial
secretions, permanent loss of short-term
memory, coma or death.
Symptoms can occur within 30 minutes
to 24 hours of consuming toxic seafood.
More information on shellfish poison-
ing and quarantines can be obtained by
calling the CDPH's toll-free Shellfish
Information Line at (800) 553-4133.

SAN JOSE Firefighters were battling
a fire on Monday that destroyed at least one
home near a shopping center in San Jose.
Multiple news outlets reported that at
least two suburban homes were on fire
about three blocks from Westgate
Shopping Center. No information was
available on possible injuries or the cause
of the blaze.
Crews first arrived at the fire just before 3
p.m.
Firefighters say one home had been
destroyed and two others were damaged,
KNTV-TV reported. The station said 12
people had been evacuated.
PG&E spokesman Greg Snapper said the
fire also damaged a gas meter, causing a gas
leak. It appeared that the cause of the fire
was unrelated to PG&E equipment, he said.
Often times the heat from fire can dam-
age utility equipment that appears to be
the case here, Snapper said.

The Marin County businessman who
fell into the Bay after crashing his car
into a guardrail and trying to throw his
wife off the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge
avoided an attempted murder trial by
pleading no contest Monday to domes-
tic violence.
Xavier Jarrell McClinton also admit-
ted causing great bodily injury in the
Dec. 13 incident. In return, he faces up
to seven years in prison when sen-
tenced May 16. The defense requested a
three-hour hearing.
This is an excellent outcome. It is a
middle ground that properly holds him
accountable, said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
At McClintons
preliminary hearing
in March, a defense
psychologist testi-
ed that he is bipo-
lar and paranoid.
Defense attorney
Tony Brass was not
immediately avail-
able to comment on
the disposition.
McClinton, a 48-
year-old personal trainer and business
owner, allegedly made the attempt on
his wifes life after weeks of uncharac-
teristic behavior like believing people
were trying to break into his house to
harm him and the couples children.
On the day in question, the couple
reportedly argued as they drove east
onto the bridge and, about 2:25 p.m.,
McClinton tried driving their vehicle
off the side. He then allegedly pulled
his wife from the vehicle and tried to
go over the bridges side with her until
passersby grabbed her legs and held
her dangling as he fell. Rescue crews
pulled him from the water and arrested
him.
The accident snarled bridge trafc for
hours.
McClintons wife of eight years was
left with a severe gash on her cheek.
The jury might have concluded
McClinton wanted to kill his wife,
Wagstaffe said.
Then again they might have had
some trouble believing it, he said.
He is held without bail and barred
from contacting his wife.

May trial in alleged drug-related rape
A 47-year-old Pacica man accused of drugging his girl-
friends teen daughter with sleeping medication, including a
pill hidden in a bowl of ice cream, so that
he could fondle and rape her, will stand
trial in May.
Paul David Messersmith pleaded not
guilty to ve felony charges: forcible
rape, rape by using an intoxicating sub-
stance, sexual penetration and battery.
He was scheduled for an April 28 pretrial
conference followed by a May 27 jury
trial.
Police arrested Messersmith after the
18-year-old girl told her mother, and
then police, that on Dec. 11 she found a piece of pill in
some ice cream he gave her after a driving lesson and was
told the chunk was likely an additive. The girl said she
grew woozy and laid on the couch with slurred speech when
Messersmith pulled off her pajama bottoms and touched her.
She said after waking up from a blackout, he carried her to a
bedroom and raped her.
During a police interview the following day, the girl
shared another incident when she ingested something odd
tasting that Messersmith had given her and blacked out. The
girl said she awoke to nd herself in a hotel room with him
fondling her chest but did not tell anyone out of concern for
her mothers relationship with him.
The police discovered the drug Messersmith allegedly
used was Zolpidem, better known as Ambien.
If convicted, he faces life in prison because of the rape by
intoxication charge.
He remains in custody without bail.
Police probe Smart car vandalism in San Francisco
Four Smart cars were ipped over in an apparent vandal-
ism spree Monday in two San Francisco neighborhoods.
Police said they didnt know whether the attacks were a
prank or another episode in escalating tensions among
some residents who blame the tech industry for rising rents
and cost of living.
Its hard to determine a motive without any suspects
identied or in custody, said Ofcer Gordon Shyy, a police
spokesman who said the culprits would face felony vandal-
ism charges.
The rst car was found ipped on its roof around 1 a.m.,
and a second was spotted on its side around a couple of
blocks away about 10 minutes later in the citys Bernal
Heights neighborhood, said Shyy, a police spokesman.
Police then discovered a third Smart car ipped on its
trunk around 1:30 a.m. in the Portola neighborhood. A
fourth car was found ipped on its side shortly after 9 a.m.,
also in Bernal Heights.
The tiny lightweight cars all had shattered windows and
some body damage, Shyy said adding that police were look-
ing for multiple suspects wearing black hooded sweatshirts
who were in the area at the time of the destruction.
As she waited patiently for an insurance adjuster, Shelley
Gallivan stood Monday afternoon near the fourth Smart car
that was vandalized, a small white compact with a faded
Obama-Biden bumper sticker. Gallivan was watching the
car for her friend, Wendy Orner, who lives in Cincinnati and
had a baby nearly two months ago.

SACRAMENTO The California
Senate has erased the names and online
archives of three suspended lawmakers
entangled in criminal cases.
The Senate removed pictures, video
clips and legislative archives over the
weekend involving Democratic Sens.
Rod Wright of Los Angeles, Ron
Calderon of Montebello and Leland
Yee of San Francisco.
All that remains on the websites is
information about their Senate dis-
tricts.
The three men have lost the rights
and privileges of a senator, which
include having a Senate-maintained
website, said Mark Hedlund, a
spokesman for Senate President Pro
Tem Darrell Steinberg.
Hedlund said Monday that the
removal was consistent with steps that
would be taken if a lawmaker lost an
election or left ofce through resigna-
tion or term limits. He said the voting
records of Wright, Calderon and Yee
can still be researched through the
Legislatures website, but their press
releases and state-
ments are gone.
The public can
also track their vot-
ing and campaign
nance data through
MapLight, a non-
partisan group that
tracks money in
politics.
Wright was con-
victed for lying
about living inside
his district.
Calderon faces fed-
eral corruption
charges after author-
ities said he accept-
ed $100,000 in
bribes for friends
and family in
exchange for legis-
lation, and Yee was charged with
accepting bribes and orchestrating
weapons and drug trafcking to help
pay off campaign debts.
Last month, the Senate voted to sus-
pend the lawmakers. Gov. Jerry Brown
has called on them to resign.
The three continue to receive their
$95,291 annual
salaries but are not
collecting a daily
expense allowance.
Lawmakers have
been trying to dis-
tance themselves
from the three sus-
pended senators,
and several have
proposed legisla-
tion aiming to restore public trust in
government by untangling the web of
money and politics.
Last week Steinberg canceled a high-
prole golf fundraiser at Torrey Pines
Golf Course in San Diego, saying it
would be inappropriate in the wake of
the criminal charges. Ticket packages
ranged from $15,000 to $65,000.
Legislative staff members continue
to serve constituents in Senate dis-
tricts 8, 30 and 35, but workers no
longer answer the telephone using the
senators names. Laptops have also
been removed from the suspended law-
makers desks on the Senate oor.
The deleting of the lawmakers infor-
mation was initially reported by
CalNewsroom.com on Sunday.

SACRAMENTO A bill moving
through the state Legislature would
urge judges to grant probation and
give shorter prison terms to defen-
dants who have mental health prob-
lems stemming from their military
service.
AB2098 passed the Assembly on
Monday on a 70-1 vote. It requires
courts to consider post-traumatic
stress disorder and other mental health
issues in sentencing.
The bills author, Democrat Marc
Levine of San Rafael, says as many as
one in ve soldiers returning from Iraq
and Afghanistan have PTSD and are
more likely to commit crimes.
California law already requires
judges to consider ordering treatment
when granting probation for veterans
with mental illness.
The bill is one of several that address
how to deal with veterans in the crimi-
nal justice system. It now heads to the
Senate.

WASHINGTON Sidestepping
Congress, President Barack Obama is
using the federal governments vast
array of contractors to impose rules on
wages, pay disparities and hiring on a
segment of the private sector that gets
taxpayer money and falls under his con-
trol.
Obama this week plans to issue an
order prohibiting federal contractors
from retaliating against workers who
discuss their pay. He will also direct the
Labor Department to issue new rules
requiring federal contractors to provide
compensation data that includes a
breakdown by race and gender.
In a separate action Monday, Obama
intends to announce 24 schools that
will share more than $100 million in
grants to redesign themselves to better
prepare high school students for col-
lege or for careers. The awards are part
of an order Obama signed last year.
Money for the program comes from
fees that companies pay for visas to
hire foreign workers for specialized
jobs.
The steps, which Obama will take
Tuesday at a White House event, take
aim at pay disparities between men and
women. The Senate this week is sched-
uled to take up gender pay equity legis-
lation that would affect all employers,
but the White House-backed bill doesnt
have enough Republican support to
overcome procedural obstacles and will
likely fail.
The work policy changes demon-
strate that even without legislation, the
president can drive economic policy. At
the same time, they show the limits of
his power when he doesnt have con-
gressional support.
Republicans say Obama is pushing
his executive powers too far and should
do more to work with Congress. His
new executive orders are sure to lead to
criticism that he is placing an undue
burden on companies and increasing
their costs.
Federal contracting covers about one-
quarter of the U.S. workforce and
includes companies ranging from
Boeing to small parts suppliers and
service providers. As a result, presiden-
tial directives can have a wide and direct
impact. But such actions also can be
undone by future presidents or by con-
gressional action.
Tuesdays executive order and presi-
dential memorandum on pay equity
measures come two months after Obama
ordered federal contractors to increase
their minimum wage from $7.25 to
$10.10 an hour the same increase
Obama and Democrats are struggling to
get Congress to approve nationwide.
Obama in 2012 issued an order that
prohibited government contractors or
subcontractors from, among other
things, charging employees recruit-
ment fees, a practice that some compa-
nies have been accused of employing in
their overseas operations.
In his first month in office, he
required that certain large federal con-
tractors hire service workers who had
been employed by the previous con-
tractor on the job. He also has prohibit-
ed federal contractors from using federal
funds to inuence workers decisions on
whether to join a union.

policies on federal contractors
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK
Officials at Yosemite National Park
say a massive amount of rock has
fallen from a cliff, closing a hiking
trail.
The National Park Service said
Monday that nobody was hurt when
the 16,000 tons of rock fell 500 feet
from a cliff near Hetch Hetchy
Reservoir on March 31. Many boul-
ders tumbled into the water.
Officials say the rock crashed down
from a cliff east of Wapama Falls. The
rock broke into numerous boulders,
crushing trees and sending up a small
dust cloud.
Some 400 feet of the Rancheria
Falls Trail were destroyed and park
staff says it will remain closed for
now. Park officials say hikers can
still get to Wapama Falls starting at
OShaughnessy Dam.

Army: Fort Hood suspect had requested leave
FORT HOOD, Texas Army investigators on Monday
released a more detailed timeline of last weeks fatal shoot-
ings at Fort Hood, describing an eight-
minute rampage in which the suspect
red 35 shots over an area spanning the
equivalent of two city blocks.
Three people were killed and 16 others
wounded in the shooting spree before the
suspect, Spc. Ivan Lopez, killed himself,
authorities said.
During a news conference Monday,
Army spokesman Chris Grey said the
shootings at the Texas post followed an
argument related to Lopezs request for
taking leave, but he didnt indicate whether it was granted or
describe circumstances behind the request.
Aspokesman for Lopezs family said last week that Lopez
was upset he was granted only a 24-hour leave to attend his
mothers funeral in November. That leave was then extend-
ed to two days.
The shooting spree Wednesday ended when Lopez killed
himself with his .45-caliber pistol after confronting a
female military police ofcer, who Grey said red once at
Lopez but didnt strike him.
Providing the most detail yet about the second mass
shooting at Fort Hood in ve years, Grey mapped out how
Lopez opened re in the building where the argument began
before leaving and driving away, shooting at times from his
car. The three who died were gunned down in separate loca-
tions.
Next years high-skilled visas snapped up in days
WASHINGTON Businesses seeking highly skilled
workers from overseas took less than a week to snap up all
85,000 visas available for next year, the U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services announced Monday.
The agency had been accepting applications just since
April 1 for the 2015 scal year quota of the highly coveted
H-1B visas, which are used for computer programmers,
engineers and other skilled workers employed in the Silicon
Valley and elsewhere.
Its no surprise that the cap was reached quickly. Thats
happened repeatedly in recent years and is a key issue that
drove business executives to lobby for comprehensive
immigration reform.
The far-reaching immigration bill that passed the Senate
last year included a major increase in H-1B visas along with
other changes making it easier to bring skilled workers to
the U.S.
But with that legislation stalled in the Republican-led
House, some high-tech leaders have recently made pleas to
lawmakers to at least increase H-1B visas. Thats led to
some concern among supporters of the Senate bill that
high-tech leaders are focusing on their own priorities and
abandoning their commitment to comprehensive legisla-
tion that includes a path to citizenship for some 11 million
immigrants now here illegally.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., an author of the Senate bill, sent
a letter to high-tech chief executives last week asking them
to renew their commitment to comprehensive legislation

Thank you thank
you thank you.
This is what I hear
over and over, year
after year, from
families that we
serve. Either
verbally or in hand-written cards or letters
families say thank you: Thank for your
help; Thank you for all you have done to
make this process easier; Thank you for
making this final tribute to my mother one
which will be fondly remembered; Thank
you for your advice; Thank you for being
there for us at a time we needed you most;
Thank you for making it all easy for us;
Thank you for being a friend, etc. To hear
Thank you time and time again is a
confirmation for me that our Chapel of the
Highlands crew is doing their best to serve
families whove been through a death, in an
appropriate and professional manner, and
that we are doing the right thing in caring
for families during a difficult situation, in
turn making it more of a comfort for them.
Normally saying Youre welcome is
the correct response. Youre welcome, or
You are welcome, can be taken a number
of different ways. Generally it means you
are always a welcome guest. It can also be
taken as a blessing meaning you wish
wellness on the person who thanked you.
Wishing wellness or health to anyone is a
nice gesture. In recent years though we all
have witnessed the term Youre welcome
being substituted with Thank you back at
the person who is doing the thanking. This
is OK, but saying Youre welcome first
is taken as a hospitable and warm gesture.
Now that Thank you and Youre
welcome have been established, I would
like to say thank you back to the families we
serve: Thank you for supporting the Chapel
of the Highlands. Thank you for your
faithful patronage. Because of you we have
been able to continue with our high
standards and excellent level of service for
many years, since 1952. Thank you to those
families who weve helped so many times in
the past. Thank you to the new families
whove discovered that we offer them
respect and provide the dignified care that
their loved one deserves.
Your support, and the continued interest
from the community in our service, is what
keeps us going strong and available when
we are needed. Our costs have always been
considered fair, and the funds taken in for
our services are also very much appreciated.
Those Chapel of the Highlands funds along
with our support sifts back to the community
in different ways. Donations to local causes,
along with the donation of time through
membership in service organizations such as
Lions, I.C.F., Historical Society, Chamber
of Commerce, etc. is natural for us. Giving
back as a volunteer via these groups helps in
binding us with our neighbors, together
creating a better community for the future.
All in all there are many ways to say
Thank you. Doing so in a variety of ways
can create a circle of gratitude, in turn
making our community a better place.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

DONETSK, Ukraine Pro-Moscow
activists barricaded inside government
buildings in eastern Ukraine proclaimed
their regions independent Monday and
called for a referendum on seceding from
Ukraine an ominous echo of the events
that led to Russias annexation of Crimea.
The Ukrainian government accused
Russia of stirring up the unrest and tried to
ush the assailants from some of the seized
buildings, setting off ery clashes in one
city. Russia, which has tens of thousands of
troops massed along the border, sternly
warned Ukraine against using force.
In Washington, the U.S. said any move
by Russia into eastern Ukraine would be a
very serious escalation that could bring
further sanctions. White House spokesman
Jay Carney said there was strong evidence
that some of the pro-Russian protesters
were hired and were not local residents.
At the same time, the U.S. announced that
Secretary of State John Kerry will meet with
top diplomats from Russia, Ukraine and the
European Union in a new push to ease ten-
sions. The meeting, the rst such four-way
talks since the crisis erupted, will take place
in the next 10 days, the State Department
said.
Pro-Russian activists who seized the
provincial administrative building in the
city of Donetsk over the weekend
announced the formation Monday of the
independent Donetsk Peoples Republic.
They also called for a referendum on the
secession of the Donetsk region, to be held
no later than May 11, according to the
Russian news agency Interfax.
A similar action was taken in another
Russian-speaking city in the east, Kharkiv,
where pro-Moscow activists proclaimed a
sovereign Kharkiv Peoples Republic,
Interfax said.
It quoted the regional police as saying
they later cleared the regional administra-
tion building, and the activists responded
by throwing rebombs and rocks at the win-
dows and setting tires ablaze. Local news
reports said that the pro-Russian crowds
then recaptured the building.
Kharkiv Mayor Gennady Kernes said the
activists also took control of the TV tower
in Kharkiv and demanded it resume broad-
casting banned Russian channels. But local
police said the assailants later left.
Pro-Russians call east Ukraine region independent

SAO PAULO Infrastructure experts say
that Brazil has run out of time to meet its
promise to fully expand and renovate air-
ports that will serve hundreds of thousands of
fans pouring into the country for the World
Cup that starts in just two months.
Improvements are ready at only two of the
13 major airports that will be used in the
tournament. Around the nation, the sounds of
jet engines blend with the noise of drills,
jackhammers and bulldozers. Construction
workers carrying power tools walk alongside
passengers toting their luggage.
Most analysts say they dont expect total
chaos when the Cup begins June 12. But they
say fans should brace for unnished con-
struction work, long check-in lines, and
last-minute gate changes and ight delays
all already too common in the countrys air-
ports. There will be crowded boarding areas,
difculties claiming baggage, few food-court
options and woeful transportation.
Dont expect to nd trains or subway lines
to and from the city. Expensive taxis will be
the only option most of the time, and long
hours in trafc will be the norm on the way to
hotels. The government civil aviation
department acknowledges delays, though it
insists that Brazilian airports will be ready
for World Cup tourists.
The problems seen in some airports will
not keep visitors from being welcomed with
quality, the department said in a statement.
Still, government reports show that of the
improvement projects that are still under-
way, more than half of them had less than 50
percent of the work nished. Only the air-
ports in the northeastern cities of Natal and
Recife are considered fully ready for the
World Cup.
They say the work will be nished, but a
lot of it will just be last-minute solutions to
hide what isnt ready, said Adriano Pires, a
top infrastructure analyst. The level of
comfort will be far from ideal. Brazil had
time to get the airports ready, but it took too
long to start. From what people will see at
the airports, Brazils image wont be a very
good one.
Experts: Too late to finish World Cup airports

Letters to the editor
Mozilla
Editor,
Brendan Eich was pressured to resign as
CEO of Mozilla because six years ago he
made a contribution in support of Yes on
Proposition 8 (same-sex marriage initia-
tive) of $1,000.
There is no evidence provided that his per-
sonally-held belief inuenced his corporate
service. The inescapable conclusion one can
draw from Mozillas action is that, at least,
believing Roman Catholics, Eastern
Orthodox, Orthodox Jews, Latter-day
Saints, Missouri and Wisconsin Synod
Lutherans as well as other Bible-inuenced
Protestants are barred from corporate serv-
ice. We have not had such clear evidence of
bigotry since Bostons No Irish Need
Apply signs.
Our federal constitution wisely forbids a
religious test for government service.
Mozilla and other corporations and institu-
tions would be well advised to follow that
wise and decent principle.
Gordon M. Seely
Belmont
Freedom of speech
versus freedom to marry
Editor,
Concerning the controversy over Brendon
Eich, former CEO of Mozilla: This is just
another example of differing moral values of
conservatives and liberals. The former will
defend your right to express your opinion
even if diametrically opposed to it as this
is one of our basic, foundational laws in the
United States. The latter group feels it is
more important to censor speech that they
feel may be hurtful, does potential harm to
others or otherwise does not promote fair-
ness and justice for all. Thus, when dis-
agreed with, it is labeled homophobic,
racist, myogenic, slander, hate
speech or the good old catch-all phrase:
not politically correct and boycotts of the
offending party are suggested.
In the gay marriage debate, the left wants
fairness, inclusiveness and equal opportuni-
ty for all (especially the disenfranchised),
while the right fears unintentional negative
consequences in changing how we dene the
sacred institution of marriage which pre-
dates recorded history or any religion.
We as a society are best served when we
respectfully hear all sides of an issue, rather
than attempt to silence and punish those
with whom we disagree. We should all feel
free to support and promote the causes we
believe in, without fear of retribution.

Height of hypocrisy
Editor,
Recently, the board of Mozilla forced
their CEO to resign because his support for
Proposition 8 might be bad for business.
This time, it was a heterosexual who lost
his job but next time it could just as easily
be a homosexual.
What if, at some future point in time,
Mozilla (or any other rm) decided that it
would be better for their business if they
didnt employ homosexuals? How would
homosexuals feel about that? And if they
cant support it, isnt that the height of
hypocrisy? Isnt equal treatment in all
aspects precisely what homosexuals have
been seeking for 50 years? If an employee
can be red for making a campaign contri-
bution, can he be red for his opinion on
other controversial issues such as abortion
or gun control because holding them might
be bad for business?
And lastly, hasnt the left railed against
Wall Streets relentless pursuit of prot for
decades?
Robert Baker
San Mateo
Supreme stimulation
Editor,
The U.S. Supreme Courts latest removal
of restrictions against unlimited political
campaign contributions is likely to stimu-
late the too rich to part with more of their
inherited or easily earned money with
the expectation of selsh rewards, at the
expense of others not able to pay for
favors. However, that extra money goes
into circulation to further stimulate the
economy, which is a good thing, although
hardly intended by the respective political
bargain hunters. Now, if this supreme
action could just stimulate some brain
activity and bring voters out in force to
kick out the politicians who have sold
their own souls and the country at large out
to the highest bidders. That would be a
supreme stimulation.

Affordable Care Act enrollment
Editor,
Does anyone believe that over 2.4 mil-
lion people signed up for Obamacare in the
last week of enrollment? Going from 4.8 to
7.1 million in the last week of enrollment
stretches the imagination. Why are we cel-
ebrating any way? We have gone from 30
million to 40 million people not insured.
How is this progress? Those who do have
coverage are paying more and their
deductibles have increased dramatically.
How is this better than before?

All candidates and
those not seeking election
Editor,
How do our current candidates for elected
ofce, as well as those not seeking elec-
tion, understand performance-based budget-
ing, if they have not established a baseline
for each department, commission, special
district? What mechanism is used to con-
duct a comprehensive compliance review
and audit with departments? Why are you
not using a comparative analysis of each
program/function to see how departments
over time is improving, or have decien-
cies.
How can the Board of Supervisors, county
administrators, city councils and city man-
agers know how well the service provider is
functioning according to the law, rules, pol-
icy and procedures of our elected ofcials
and their appointees without a functioning
comparative analysis? How often should a
governmental entity be reviewed for com-
pliance and audits (every two years, four
years)? Those programs funded by the feder-
al and state, county and city governments
such as drug programs, including Project
90, social service agencies, including anger
management and domestic violence, do not
seem to have a comprehensive compliance
reviews to establish a baseline and then
measure their results every two years.
To give you an example of poor plan-
ning prevents poor performance, we
should look to the city of San Mateo and
their recent audit of their community devel-
opment management department to see a
myriad of deciencies and poor perform-
ance. The audit made a number of recom-
mendations to improve this department, as
reported in the San Mateo Daily Journal
Feb. 20 article (After audit, San Mateo
moves ahead with changes). Assuming cor-
rective action is put into place, how do we
know if we dont establish a baseline and
reviewed the elements of deciency without
a comprehensive compliance review?

Some discrepancies ...
Editor,
Once again Mr. Aadahl pretends he stands
on the side of truth and right with his dia-
tribe about Republican lies (Republican
Track Record letter in the April 4 issue of
the Daily Journal). And then he claims
voters out there who dont understand well
get more of the same if Republicans are
given the chance.
Has he been living in a cave? Has he
never heard: If you like your health insur-
ance plan, you can keep it. Period? Has he
never heard: If you like your doctor, you
can keep him? Has he never heard: I will
cut the decit in half? Has he never heard:
There will be no tax increases for people
earning less than $250,000? Does he and
the other voters think that we wont get
more of the same if we keep the present
liars in ofce?

In any event
W
e no longer buy things at sales.
We buy them at sales events.
Used to be there were stores and
stores sold goods and occasionally those
good were sold at a discount and the world
deemed these occasions sales. But at some
point in time, these mere mortal of sales
became elevated into the more superhuman
sounding sales events. Auto dealers in
particular are fond of them the National
Sales Event, the Summer Sales Event, the
Winter Sales
Event.
Its as if the
brilliant market-
ing minds got
together and
decided that in
this era of
Amazon Prime,
deep online dis-
counts and ongo-
ing retailer strug-
gles that sales
alone are not
exciting enough.
There must instead be an event.
The term event used to mean an unex-
pected circumstance, something out of the
ordinary, a moment marked in time that will
forever be etched in memory and history
books. Kennedy being shot? Event. The
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Event. Even the
wedding of Prince William and Kate? That
passes as an event.
Semi-annual shoe clearances at the local
mall? Not quite an event of the same caliber.
White sales were also a big deal back in
those prehistoric shopping days of yore but
even those werent anointed with event.
Granted, there once were actual retail
events in the true meaning of the word.
Anybody remember Black Friday? For those
older than, say, 15, Black Friday was the
day after Thanksgiving which marked the
ofcial start of the holiday shopping sea-
son. People camped out early, patrons
fought over cut-rate televisions and tennis
shoes, and the deals to be had were never to
be replicated again until Christmas Eve.
This was an event!
But then Black Friday became White
Thursday and Cyber Monday found a follow-
ing and dont forget Small Business
Saturday and Giving Tuesday. Every day for a
week became a sale and ultimately every
sale year-round became an event.
Television also took a cue and now we no
longer have shows or series. We have
events. The television event of the year!
The network event of the season! In the
miniseries heyday of the 1980s this brand-
ing might work, but now? Not so much.
There are no more highly-anticipated show-
ings of The Thorn Birds and North and
South. The fear-inducing nuclear tale The
Day After now that was an event,
deserved of capital letters and quotation
marks. The yearly showing of The Wizard
of Oz was also rightfully deemed an event.
In the days before VCRs, Netix and demand
television, the classic ick showed once and
only once. There was no pause, no rewind.
Flip on the channel or forget altogether and
prepare to wait a whole year to learn if
Dorothy ever made it back to Kansas.
The other irritant about everything being
tagged with the secondary term event is
the redundancy. Asale is an event. Atelevi-
sion viewing is an event. So saying sales
event or TVevent is superuous. File it
in the same category as those who say ATM
machine or PIN number. Or, a personal
favorite, the Taco Bell ads touting its carne
asada steak taco.
The question now is what new pitch
comes next. If event is the new normal,
what term will denote the new out-of-the-
ordinary phenomenon. Im sure somebody
will think of something tting eventual-
l y.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK For investors, a
volatile stock market passed a worri-
some milestone on Monday.
The market logged its longest los-
ing streak in two months, and extend-
ed a sell-off that began last week.
After biotechnology and internet
stocks pulled the market lower on
Friday, it was companies that sell non-
essential goods and services that
dragged on the market to start the
week. Concerns about earnings and
sales drove declines. CarMax slumped
after the used car dealer reported lower
net income, and Mattel dropped on
concerns about demand for big-name
toys.
Stocks have been volatile this year
after surging in 2013. Investors now
appear to question whether their lofty
prices will be justified by whats
expected to be slower growth in rst-
quarter earnings.
The markets are struggling to
choose a direction, said Joe Tanious,
a global market strategist for
JPMorgan Funds. I suspect that this
choppiness in the markets is some-
thing we are going to be seeing for
some time to come.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
20.05 points, or 1.1 percent, to
1,845.04. It has fallen for three
straight days, the longest losing span
since late January, and has shed 2.4
percent since its all-time high of
1,890.89 on April 2.
The Dow Jones industrial average
dropped 166.84 points, or 1.02 per-
cent, to 16,245.87 Monday. The
Nasdaq composite had the biggest
decline, falling 47.97 points, or 1.2
percent, to 4,079.75.
There were signs of stability in the
market. Technology and biotechnolo-
gy stocks, which were pummeled by
investors at the end of last week, were
mixed on Monday.
Facebook edged up 20 cents, or 0.4
percent, to $56.95 on Monday after it
dropped 4.6 percent Friday.
Netflix, which also slumped last
week, gained 69 cents, or 0.2 percent,
to $338.
Consumer discretionary stocks
companies that sell goods and services
that are not necessities for shoppers
saw the biggest decline among the
S&P 500s 10 sectors.
CarMax slipped $1.88, or 4.1 per-
cent, to $43.68 after the company said
late Friday that its fourth-quarter earn-
ings fell. Net income declined as the
effects of an accounting correction off-
set higher demand for its vehicles. The
companys revenue also missed Wall
Street expectations.
Mattel dropped $1.15, or 2.9 per-
cent, to $38.26 after analysts at BMO
Capital cut their outlook for the toy
company, citing lower demand for key
products such as Barbie dolls and Hot
Wheels cars.
Investors will focus more and more
on the outlook for corporate earnings
this week, as companies begin to
announce first-quarter results.
Aluminum maker Alcoa, JPMorgan and
Wells Fargo are reporting.
Overall, companies in the S&P 500
index are expected to see earnings
growth of 0.3 percent over last years
rst quarter. That rate of growth, how-
ever, is down from 8 percent in the
fourth quarter, and would be the lowest
since the third quarter 2009, when
earnings contracted 1.7 percent,
according to S&P Capital IQ.
While the outlook is poor, the low
expectations may actually help
stocks, because they give companies a
lower hurdle to overcome, said Warne.
The expectations are incredibly
low, largely due to the impact of winter
weather, said Kate Warne, an invest-
ment strategist at Edward Jones.
JPMorgan is expected to report earn-
ings of $1.41 per share for the rst
quarter on Friday, a decline from earn-
ings of $1.59 per share for the same
period a year earlier, according to
FactSet data.
Nine of the ten industry groups that
make up the S&P 500 index fell
Monday.
Stocks extend decline from last week

WASHINGTON Consumers increased
their borrowing in February on autos and
student loans by the largest amount in a
year. But for a second straight month, they
cut back on their credit card use.
Consumer borrowing climbed $16.5 bil-
lion in February, up from a $13.5 billion
gain in January, the Federal Reserve report-
ed Monday.
The category that includes credit cards fell
$2.4 billion after a $241 million drop in
January. But this decline was offset by an
$18.9 billion increase in borrowing in the
category that covers autos and student
loans, the biggest one-month gain since
February 2013. The overall increase in con-
sumer debt pushed total borrowing to a
record $3.13 trillion.
Gains in borrowing are seen as an encour-
aging sign that people are more condent
and willing to take on debt.
Increased household borrowing can fuel
higher consumer spending, which accounts
for 70 percent of economic activity.
The February decline in credit card bor-
rowing marked the third decrease in the past
four months. That continues a trend evident
since the 2007-2009 Great Recession.
Borrowing on credit cards plunged during
that recession as consumers tried to lower
their debt during a period when millions of
people were losing their jobs and many
people still working were worried about the
threat of layoffs.
Credit card borrowing started rising again
in 2011 but the increases have lagged far
behind the category that covers auto and
student loans. Economists said that many
households have become more cautious
about taking on high-interest debt.
Credit card debt in February was still 17.3
percent below its peak above $1 trillion
reached in July 2008. Credit card debt stood
at $854.2 billion in February, up just 0.5
percent from a year ago.
The measure of auto loans and student
loans in January stood at $2.28 trillion, up
7.7 percent from a year ago. It has been up
every month but one since May 2010.
A separate quarterly report on consumer
credit done by the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York shows that student loan debt has
been the biggest driver of borrowing since
the recession ofcially ended in June 2009.
The Feds borrowing report tracks credit
card debt, auto loans and student loans but
not mortgages or home equity loans.
U.S. consumer borrowing up $16.5 billion in February

NEW YORK Microsoft will end sup-
port for the persistently popular Windows
XP on Tuesday, and the move could put
everything from the operations of heavy
industry to the identities of everyday people
in danger.
An estimated 30 percent of computers
being used by businesses and consumers
around the world are still running the 12-
year-old operating system.
What once was considered low-hanging
fruit by hackers now has a big neon bulls
eye on it, says Patrick Thomas, a security
consultant at the San Jose-based firm
Neohapsis.
Microsoft has released a handful of
Windows operating systems since 2001,
but XPs popularity and the durability of the
computers it was installed on kept it around
longer than expected. Analysts say that if a
PC is more than ve years old, chances are
its running XP.
While users can still run XP after Tuesday,
Microsoft says it will no longer provide
security updates, issue xes to non-security
related problems or offer online technical
content updates. The company is discontin-
uing XP to focus on maintaining its newer
operating systems, the core programs that
run personal computers.
The Redmond, Wash.-based company says
it will provide anti-malware-related updates
through July 14, 2015, but warns that the
tweaks could be of limited help on an out-
dated operating system.
Most industry experts say they recognize
that the time for Microsoft to end support
for such a dated system has come, but the
move poses both security and operational
risks for the remaining users. In addition to
home computers, XP is used to run every-
thing from water treatment facilities and
power plants to small businesses like doc-
tors ofces.
Thomas says XP appealed to a wide vari-
ety of people and businesses that saw it as a
reliable workhorse and many chose to stick
with it instead of upgrading to Windows
Vista, Windows 7 or 8.
Thomas notes that companies generally
resist change because they dont like risk.
As a result, businesses most likely to still
be using XP include banks and nancial
services companies, along with health care
providers. He also pointed to schools from
the university level down, saying that they
often dont have enough money to fund
End of Windows XP support spells trouble for some

DALLAS Abig drop in customer com-
plaints helped U.S. airlines post their best
ratings ever even though more ights were
late and more bags were mishandled, accord-
ing to a report released Monday by universi-
ty researchers.
Virgin America topped the ratings, and
three regional airlines scored at the bottom.
Among the four biggest airlines, Delta
ranked best followed by Southwest,
American and United, according to
researchers from Wichita State University
and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
The researchers have graded airlines since
1991 on government gures for on-time
performance, mishandled bags, bumping
passengers, and complaints led with the
U.S. Department of Transportation.
Their key findings:
ON-TIME PERFORMANCE: Airlines
operated 78.4 percent of their ights on
time in 2013, down from 81.8 percent in
2012. Best: Hawaiian Airlines; worst:
American Eagle. Only two airlines
improved: American Airlines and United.
BAG HANDLING: The rate of lost,
stolen or delayed bags rose 5 percent. Best:
Virgin America; worst: American Eagle.
BUMPING: The rate of bumping passen-
gers from flights fell 8 percent. Best:
JetBlue Airways; worst: SkyWest.
COMPLAINTS: Consumer complaints
to the government dropped 15 percent in
2013 after rising 20 percent the year before.
Best: Southwest Airlines; worst: Frontier.
Air travel: Late flights are up, complaints down
FTC says operators of
jerk.com deceived consumers
WASHINGTON The Federal Trade
Commission says the operators of a website
called Jerk.com are the ones behaving
badly.
The commission said Monday the web-
site harvested personal information from
Facebook to create proles labeling people
a Jerk or not a Jerk.
Jerk allegedly charged consumers $25 to
email the companys customer service
department. Consumers were then told they
could pay $30 to revise the online prole
but got nothing in return. The site also made
consumers believe the content had been cre-
ated by other users, not the company.
The FTC estimates that Jerk LLC, the
Boston-area based parent company behind
the site, and John Fanning, its operator,
created proles for more than 73 million
people including children between
2009 and 2013. Attempts to contact
Fanning were unsuccessful, and his attor-
ney could not be reached for comment
Monday.
The FTC is seeking an order that would
bar the company from such deceptive prac-
tices, prohibit them from using improperly
obtained personal information and require
them to delete the information. Ahearing is
scheduled to begin before an administrative
law judge in January of 2015.
Facebook said in a statement that it
applauds the FTCs work and will continue
to work with the commission as it pursues
Jerk.com and others that abuse its service.

Brian White got hot at precisely the
right time.
At the outset of a week featuring a boys
lacrosse matchup against rival Menlo,
White a senior at Sacred Heart Prep
emerged with a double hat trick en route to
an 18-7 rout of Mountain View April 1. Then
against archrival Menlo April 3, White
duplicated the feat with six goals to pace
SHP to a pivotal 15-14 win.
His offensive heroics make White the San
Mateo Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
The showdown between the Gators and the
Knights was a battle of unbeatens. And with
the dramatic one-point win, SHP moved
into rst place while improving to 5-0 in
De Anza League play. Since losing their rst
two games of the season, SHP has won
seven of its last eight games.
The Gators are already looking ahead
though. They play two more critical games
this week with a Tuesday matchup against
third-place Palo Alto before traveling to
Menlo-Atherton Thursday. Also, SHP has to
travel to Menlo for the De Anza League
rematch May 1.
I think weve got to go into it with a
chip on our shoulder, not content with a
one-goal win, White said. Weve got to
really be ready for a tough game that we can
come up and win by a bigger spread.
Still, last weeks clash with Menlo was
quite a show. The game was Sacred Heart
Preps featured athletics game of the week
prompting the biggest crowd White has
seen in his four years as a varsity player.
With the Menlo campus right next door to
Sacred Heart Prep, the showing was fairly
equal in support of both teams. And as the
game went down to the wire, things got
pretty nuts.

Huskies junior Ryan Boatright, right, celebrates after Connecticuts 60-54 win over Kentucky

ARLINGTON, Texas No conference
wanted them. Several teammates and their
coach left them. The NCAA kept them out
for a year.
UConn won it all anyway.
Shabazz Napier turned in another all-court
masterpiece Monday night to lift the
Huskies to a 60-54 win over Kentuckys
freshmen and a national title hardly anyone
saw coming.
Napier had 22 points, six rebounds and
three assists, and his partner in defensive
lock-down, Ryan Boatright, nished with
14 points.
Napier kneeled down and put his forehead
to the court for a long while after the buzzer
sounded. He was wiping back tears when he
cut down the net.
Honestly, I want to get everybodys
attention right quick, Napier said. Youre
looking at the hungry Huskies. Ladies and
gentlemen, this is what happens when you
banned us.
Yes, it is only a short year since the
Huskies were barred from March Madness
because of grades problems. That stoked a
re no one could put out in 2014.
UConn (32-8) never trailed in the nal.
The Huskies led by as many as 15 in the rst
half and watched the Wildcats (29-11) trim
the decit to one with 8:13 left. But Aaron
Harrison, Kentuckys big-moment shooter
in the last three games, missed a 3-pointer
from the left corner that wouldve given the
Cats the lead. Kentucky never got closer.
One key difference in a six-point loss:
Kentuckys 11 missed free throws a ash-
back of sorts for coach John Calipari, whose
Memphis team blew a late lead against
Kansas after missing multiple free throws in
the 2008 nal. The Wildcats went 13 for 24.
UConn went 10 for 10, including Lasan
Kromahs two to seal the game with 25.1
seconds left.
We had our chances to win, Calipari
said. Were missing shots, were missing
free throws. We just didnt have enough.
In all, Caliparis One and Doners got outdone

laying for Menlo School has its
privileges. The Knights have one of
the top water polo programs in the
nation and, as such, draw a lot of attention
from not only college coaches, but national
team bigwigs.
Nick Bisconti has certainly beneted from
his time at Menlo,
among others. The
junior recently com-
pleted a one-week
training session with
the United States
Mens National Water
Polo Team in Colorado
Springs.
Bisconti has had a
few stumbles along the
way, but he grew from
those obstacles and
has his sights rmly
set on one day making
the national team and playing in the
Olympics.
It was just insane. Just an insane amount
of training, said Bisconti. It was tough.
Weights in the morning, three hours in the
pool, a little break, meetings, more training
from 5 to 8 (p.m.), then dinner and lm ses-
sions.
Im hoping to train and compete interna-
tionally this summer. That would be my
dream. Thats just a stepping stone to the
Olympics. Its a long way off, but its in the
back of my mind.
All of this has been a whirlwind and there
is not a lot of advance notice when it comes
to national-team training. He said he was

Nearly every golfers Valhalla is Augusta
National Golf Club home of the Masters
Tournament. Started in 1933 by the leg-
endary Bobby Jones and built by another
legend, Alister MacKenzie, Augusta
National is home to the only major golf
tournament that is never rotated.
As CBS golf anchor Bill Nantz says dur-
ing the Masters broadcast: its tradition
unlike any other.
The opportunity to set foot on club
grounds is an experience
very few non-members
get to experience, let
alone given the chance to
play the famed course.
Lucy Li is one of the
lucky few. While she did-
nt play an actual round
on the grounds, she did
get to soak in the aura of
the club as a nalist in
the Drive, Chip and Putt inaugural champi-
onship at Augusta National Sunday as a prel-
ude to the Masters Tournament that tees up
beginning Thursday.
The 11-year-old Redwood City native cap-
tured the 10-11 age-group championship,
nishing with a score of 26 points one
point ahead of runner-up Jacqueline Nguyen
of Houston. Li had the highest score 11
in both the driving and chipping compe-
tition. She struggled in the putting portion,
but her lead was big enough that she held off
Nguyen.
Its really exciting, said Li, who picked
up the game three and a half years ago.
Its a really big deal.
The Drive, Chip and Putt championship is
a collaboration of the Masters Tournament,
United States Golf Association and The PGA
of America. The top two nishers in 110
local qualifying tournaments held last sum-
mer moved on to one of 11 regional qualify-
ing sites, where Li also nished rst.
Only one from regional can go (to the
nals), Li said.
There are 11 qualiers in each of eight
divisions: boys and girls ages 7-9, 10-11,
12-13 and 14-15, for a total of 88 partici-
pants.

MINNEAPOLIS The Oakland Athletics
can win a lot of different ways, as evidenced
by their two-year hold on the AL West divi-
sion title.
Yoenis Cespedes proved he can play
through a hurting right heel, giving Scott
Kazmir and the As a spark with a pair of
RBIs that helped spoil the Minnesota
Twins home opener with an 8-3 victory
on Monday.
When were swinging well, we feel like
we have a deep lineup, As manager Bob
Melvin said.
Cespedes has been hobbling around the
last few days with the injury, but the team
wasnt worried enough about it to hold him
out. The Cuban slugger followed a leadoff
walk to Brandon Moss by crushing a double
in the second inning for the rst run against
Kevin Correia (0-1) and hit a sacrice y in
the seventh.
Moss added a two-run single in the third
and Derek Norris homered in the sixth.
Everyone knows their
strengths and they dont
go outside of their game,
and I think thats what
makes us a great overall
ballclub and very deadly
down the stretch of the
whole season, Norris
said.
Jed Lowrie hit what
the As believed was a
home run down the right-field line in the
third inning, but the call on the field was a
foul ball and the umpire-initiated review,
which lasted more than four minutes,
upheld the ruling. Lowrie took a walk
instead and later scored.
Kazmir (2-0), who stymied with Twins in
five starts against them last season for
Cleveland, completed six innings with six
hits, three runs and four walks allowed. He
struck out ve, and RBI doubles by Aaron
Hicks and Jason Kubel were the only dam-
aging hits against him. This wasnt his
best, but Kazmir got enough quick outs to
stay in there.
Not very efcient with my pitches, but
theres going to be days like that so I need
to be able to battle. To get six out of that,
thats something you can build on, he said.
The 30-year-old Kazmir dazzled in his As
debut with 7 1-3 scoreless innings last
week against his old team, the Indians. He
did the same against the Twins in 2013,
going 3-0 with a 1.45 ERA in 31 innings
with 36 strikeouts.
With Jarrod Parker, a 12-game winner last
year, out for the season following elbow
ligament replacement surgery and A. J.
Grifn not yet ready because of a spring arm
injury, the rotation took a hit. Kazmir,
then, is that much more valuable.
Oh, and so is the lineup.
All the way through, guys are taking
quality at-bats and really working the start-
ing pitcher early in the game. That goes a
long way as far as getting the win, Kazmir
said.
Correia came out with two outs in the
sixth. He yielded nine hits, six runs and two
walks while striking out three.
He started pounding inside a bit better
and his last couple innings were better
because of that, Twins manager Ron
Gardenhire said. But you cant just stay out
and over the plate on these guys.
Alberto Callaspo and Josh Reddick also
drove in runs for the As, who played with-
out center elder Coco Crisp because of a
sore left wrist. Norris, Callaspo and Josh
Donaldson each had two hits.
I just threw a couple bad pitches in situa-
tions where I had a chance to get out of a
jam, Correia said. Thats what Ive been
able to do the last couple years.
Lowrie was hit by a pitch on the lower
right leg in the seventh inning and was in
too much pain to stay in the game. Nick
Punto, who played seven seasons for the
Twins, entered as a pinch runner and eventu-
ally scored on a balk by Sam Deduno.
The Athletics made a bullpen shuffle
before the game, reinstating right-hander
Ryan Cook from the disabled list and send-
ing right-hander Evan Scribner to Triple-A
Sacramento. Cook, who was out with
shoulder tendinitis, struck out two in a hit-
less ninth.
Kazmir continues dominance of Twins as As win 8-3
Scott Kazmir

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Joe Biagini describes the personality of
the 2014 San Jose Giants pitching staff as
more of a college team. Thats high praise,
being as Biagini hardly got to enjoy his
college career.
As a sophomore at College of San Mateo
in 2010, Biagini underwent Tommy John
surgery which effectively ended his tenure
with the Bulldogs. By the numbers as a jun-
ior transfer at UC Davis, he didnt have
much fun, posting a 7.47 ERAover 13 relief
outings.
Something peculiar happened during that
2011 season though, as the right-hander
experienced a sever spike in velocity. A
self-described weak kid growing up, Biagini
topped out at 88 mph with his fastball on a
good day while at CSM. By the end of his
junior year at Davis though, he was touch-
ing 94 mph.
It was then Biagini
who was born in Menlo
Park but moved to Santa
Clara at age 4 started
getting some serious
attention from major
league scouts. And it was
the team for which he
grew up rooting that
landed him, as the Giants
selected Biagini in the
26th round of the 2011 draft.
It didnt really hit me right away. It was
kind of a surreal experience, Biagini said.
I felt honored to be worthy of playing for
the Giants.
After spending two seasons in Giants
Low-A affiliate Augusta, Biagini was pro-
moted to High-A San Jose to start the
2014 season. He made his debut with the
minor-league Giants Monday at Lancaster,
dealing to the tune of two hits through six
shutout innings. Departing with a 1-0
lead, he ultimately took a no-decision as
Lancaster rallied for two runs in the bot-
tom of the ninth against reliever Tyler
Mizenko to walk off on a two-run double
by cleanup hitter Rio Ruiz.
Opposing teams gure to be hard-pressed
to score against San Joses pitching staff
this season though. San Jose is composed
of most of the staff from last years Augusta
team which ranked fourth in the South
Atlantic League with a 3.45 team ERA and
finished with best overall record in the
league. The headline act in San Jose this
year is 2012 rst-round draft pick Chris
Stratton, who earned his rst win of the year
in San Joses 7-1 opening-day win at
Rancho Cucamonga.
You can tell when you watch [Stratton]
pitch that he just has something that
throws hitters off, Biagini said. He is
very unique.
Biagini said he is in awe of many of the
pitchers with whom he has come up through
the ranks of the Giants farm system. Nine
hurlers on the current San Jose staff pitched
for the 2012 Short-Season Salem-Keizer
team with which Biagini began his profes-
sional career.
I feel pretty comfortable with most of
the guys. Most of the other pitchers and I
were together in Short-Season [in 2012]. I
immediately noticed how close the team
was. This team denitely has a close-
knit group.
While Biagini has had his ups and downs
throughout his career he currently owns a
9-14 career record with a 5.16 ERA the
big 6-foot-4 right-hander owns what may
just be one of the best senses of humor in
the minors. When asked what he brings to
the table amid a pitching staff with so many
talented weapons, his response was an
immediate laugh and a questioning tone as
he said: Asmile?
Biagini deals in rst start for San Jose Giants

Amanda Wiseman,
M-A girls lacrosse
Wiseman scored seven goals in a 13-12
win over Castilleja April 1, including the
game-winning shot in the closing seconds
on a bounce shot to break a 12-12 tie.
Ryan Kammuller,
Burlingame baseball
The Panthers junior shortstop was a force
against Capuchino April 4, going 2 for 2
with a sacrice y to produce the best game
of his varsity career. Burlingame went on to
win the game 4-3.
Kyle Cambron,
Sequoia baseball
Not only did the big right-hander re a
two-hit shutout April 1 against El Camino,
he faced the minimum in the Cherokees 1-0
win as all three base runners Cambron
allowed were retired on the base paths.
Eryn McCoy,
Hillsdale softball
The sophomore red a two-hit shutout
April 5 in a 7-0 win over Prospect. McCoy
is now 6-1 on the year and has tabbed two
shutouts for the 9-2 Knights.
Sam Alton,
Caada baseball
The Colts persevered for a 1-0 win in 13
innings over Cabrillo April 3 largely due to
one of Altons best performances of the
year. The sophomore took a no-decision
after working 12 shutout innings. With the
win, Caada overtook Cabrillo for first
place in the Coast Pacific Conference.
Cabrillo has since moved back into rst
place, and leads the Colts, tied for second
place with Ohlone, by a half game.
Steve Pastora,
CSM baseball
The El Camino grad continues to rack up
multi-hit games. Pastora went 7 for 9
through two games last week, tabbing three
hits April 2 at Ohlone then four hits April 3
against City College of San Francisco. The
freshman is currently hitting .417, ranking
fourth among California Community
College hitters.
Danny Chavez,
Menlo College baseball
The CSM transfer tossed a no-hitter April
4 at Cartan Field. Menlo won 7-0 behind
Chavezs gem, as the right-hander struck out
four against three walks. It is the second no-
hitter in Menlo College history. The team
has since won four straight.
It was pretty loud, White said. It was
awesome.
Aseesaw battle throughout, SHP took a 9-
7 lead into the half. Menlo junior Jack
Marren rallied the Knights back in the third
quarter with one of his four goals to tie it at
10-10. SHPstar senior Sean Mayle respond-
ed with a goal to give the Gators the lead for
good at 11-10. But as Menlo stayed within
striking distance, White put the game away
with his nal goal to cap the double hat
trick on an unassisted midrange dodge, stak-
ing SHP to a 15-13 lead.
I didnt think we played our sharpest
game, SHPhead coach Chris Rotelli said. I
thought, at times, it was sloppy. But it was
very hard fought. We had very good energy
and we grinded it out when we needed to.
With four more weeks remaining on the
schedule, Rotelli takes the Gators current
undefeated record with a grain of salt.
We havent really done anything yet,
Rotelli said.
White is one of a core group of players
with the ability to do something special
this season. He and fellow seniors Mayle,
Frankie Hatler, Alex Castro and Noah
Kawasaki have all played lacrosse together
since grade school, starting with the
Redwood City club team the Tomahawks.
White, himself, has been playing since the
second grade.
Mayle is universally recognized as the
Gators best player. Ticketed for the
University of Denver currently ranked
No. 8 in the nation the senior is a major
target for opposing defensemen.
Sean Mayle is one of the best Ive
ever played with, White said. Hes so fast
and he really has a powerful shot and he can
control the ball so well.
Mayles prowess creates plenty of oppor-
tunities for his teammates to step up, with
White being the recent benefactor.
He can almost score at will, White said.
But what happens a lot, he gets shut off by
[the opponents] long pole. Thats what
Mountain View did a lot, Menlo did a little
bit shut him off where all the other offen-
sive players would have to do their part.
White has plenty of lacrosse chops
though, along with an impressive lineage.
His older brother Bill graduated from Sacred
Heart Prep in 2012 allowing for the two to
play together with the Gators for two years.
Whites father Jim was a college lacrosse
player at Northwestern, where Bill White is
now a student and where Brian White will
attend in the fall.
For the time being though, Brian White is
just enjoying the ride of scoring 12 goals in
SHPs last two games.
I think this past week something clicked
and I was playing pretty well, he said.

WHATS ON TAP
by a more fundamentally sound, more-sea-
soned group that came into this tournament
a seventh-seeded afterthought but walked
away with the programs fourth national
title since 1999. They were the highest seed
to win it all since Rollie Massiminos
eighth-seeded Villanova squad in 1985.
Napier and Boatright now go down with
Kemba Walker, Emeka Okafor and all those
other UConn champs of years past. This
adds to the schools titles in 1999, 2004
and 2011.
This one was, by far, the most unexpected.
A short year ago, UConn was preparing
for its rst season in the new American
Athletic Conference after being booted
from the Big East and not welcomed by any
of the so-called power conferences.
Longtime coach Jim Calhoun left because of
health problems. And most damaging the
NCAA ban that triggered an exodus of ve
key players to the NBAor other schools.
Napier stuck around. So did Boatright.
And Calhouns replacement, Kevin Ollie,
gured out how to get the most out of their
grit and court sense.
They were one step ahead of Kentucky
all night, holding off furious rally after
furious rally.
Kentuckys biggest push started when
James Young (20 points, seven rebounds)
posterized Amida Brimah with a monster
dunk to start a three-point play and trigger
an 8-0 run.
In the middle of that, Boatright, who shut
down Harrisons twin brother, Andrew, most
of the night, twisted his left ankle while
receiving an innocuous-looking pass from
Napier. He called a timeout. Got it worked
on and came back out.
Napier and Niels Giffey made 3s on
UConns next two possessions, and sudden-
l y, that one-point lead was back up to ve
fairly comfortable by this tight, taut,
buzzer-beating tournaments standards.
The big question in Kentucky is what will
happen to all those freshmen. Julius Randle
(10 points, six rebounds) is a lottery pick if
he leaves for the NBA. Young and the
Harrison brothers could be rst-rounders,
too. Big question is whether theyll want to
leave on this note.
They were preseason No. 1, a huge disap-
pointment through much of this season, then
came on just in time for a run to the nal.
But they got outdone by a team on a dif-
ferent sort of mission a team led by
Napier, who stuck with the program even
though he knew the 2012-13 season was for
nothing but fun.
Oh, what fun this was, though.

SPORTS
The contest consists of longest average drive, combined
distance to the pin on a pair of chips and a trio of putts.
There is more to the driving portion of the competition
than just distance. Golfers must also show control and the
only drives that were counted had to be within a 30-yard
wide chute.
Li nished with a best average distance of 227.2 yards.
But much like the game of golf, the championship is not
decided off the tee. Its around the green where real golfers
make their money. None was better than Li from off the
green as her two chips left her a combined 5 feet, 1 inch
from the cup.
It was one of the best of the tournament, Li said of the
competition held on Augustas practice green. It was really
hard 20 yards (away), with a tier in front.
Lis nal score could have been even better if not for some
shaky putting. The rst pair of putts were on the practice
green but the nal stroke of the championship was held on
the 18th green.
Li wont be the last golfer to struggle on Augustas
famously slick greens.
My putting wasnt very good. I got a little quick and the
greens were really fast, Li said. The greens are crazy fast.
Theyre (at) tournament speed.
While Li did not get a chance to experience playing along
side Raes Creek or holes Nos.11, 12 and 13 which make up
Amen Corner, she and her family will get to watch Tuesdays
practice round before heading home. She whetted her
appetite enough to know she wants to come back to take on
the track some day.
Of course Id like to play Augusta, Li said.
And she is knowledgeable enough to know the difference
between playing her home course of Cinnabar Hills Golf
Club in San Jose and playing the course that hosts the
Masters.
Cinnabar Hills is a nice course, Li said. But Augusta
National is Augusta National.

SAM GREENWOOD/AUGUSTA NATIONAL
Redwood Citys Lucy Li was one of eight champions crowned
in the inaugural Drive, Chip and Putt championship. The nals
were held at Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters
tournament, where Li won the girls10-11 age-group title.
National Team, basically the junior national team, last sum-
mer, asking him to train for a spot on a team that would be
competing in Argentina.
Despite failing to make the squad, he had an outstanding
tournament with his Stanford club team at the Junior
Olympics with the team winning a silver medal and
Bisconti earning a rst-team All-American selection.
This past summer was a turning point for me, Bisconti
said.
In January, he got a call from the senior national team,
inviting him to a national-team training camp in Irvine.
It was a bunch of high school guys, about 20 of us, train-
ing, Bisconti said. I got out of the pool on the last day, and
the national team coach said, You need to get faster.
Its never a good sign when the main man says you need to
be better. But when Bisconti got another call, inviting him to
train with the national team, he was a bit confused.
I thought it was going to me and the junior national team
and the (senior) national team, Bisconti said. When we got
out there, there were only six other junior team guys and the
(senior) national team.
There is bound to be some correlation between Biscontis
skill and the Menlo program, considering the pedigree of
Menlo coach Jack Bowen. Aformer All-American at Stanford,
Bowen has played on the national team and is highly regarded
in water polo circles nationally. You can bet if Bowen has a
stud player, national team management knows about it.
Bisconti credits Bowen for helping him get to where he is
today.
[Bowen] has taught me the most that I know, in terms of
water polo, Bisconti said. Jack has been the core for my
development.
Jack is such a great coach and he can turn anyone into a
great player. Menlo is a pretty good program in terms of water
polo, top-25 in the nation Id say. We compete at a high level
and it really helps in developing players.

LOUNGE
Playing in the Giants system is the second time in
Biaginis life he has pitched for the same organization as
his father, Robert. Not only was his dad a minor-league
pitcher for the Giants in 1981 and 82, but he also played at
CSM. While his father having played for CSM wasnt the
bottom line in his decision to enroll there, it was Robert
who recommended the program to his son after Biagini grad-
uated from The Kings Academy.
Ive never wanted to say (I went to CSM) just because he
went there, Biagini said. But he knew the program. But it
was more of a baseball decision. It felt like the right place for
me at the time.
Now recovered from the arm injury which derailed his career
with the Bulldogs, Biagini is having more fun than ever.
I was excited about being in with this group, Biagini
said. If you ask anybody, [the camaraderie] is actually more
like a college team.

SAO PAULO Brazilian labor ofcials have allowed
work to resume in part of the World Cup stadium where a
worker died while installing the stadiums temporary seats.
Construction had been partially stopped at the Itaquerao
stadium, which is hosting the World Cup opener in June,
because of safety concerns following the death of the work-
er on March 29.
Ofcials from the Labor Ministry inspected the venue
Monday and said most of the necessary safety measures had
been implemented where the seats were being installed. Not
all the work could resume, however, because construction
workers had yet to install protective nets in part of the site.
Brazilian World Cup organizers and FIFA said the delay
should not keep the stadium from being nished in time for
the Brazil-Croatia opener on June 12.

WASHINGTON At the prodding of busi-
ness organizations, House Republicans qui-
etly secured a recent change in President
Barack Obamas health law to expand cover-
age choices, a striking, one-of-a-kind
departure from dozens of high-decibel
attempts to repeal or dismember it.
Democrats describe the change involving
small-business coverage options as a
straightforward improvement of the type
they are eager to make, and Obama signed it
into law. Republicans are loath to agree,
given the strong sentiment among the rank
and le that the only x the law deserves is
a burial.
Maybe you say it helps (Obamacare), but
it really helps the small businessman, said
Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn., one of several
physician-lawmakers among Republicans
and an advocate of repeal.
In a weekend statement, House Speaker
John Boehners ofce characterized the pro-
vision was just one part of Republicans
larger effort to repeal the full law and
replace it with better solutions focused on
lowering health care costs for families and
small businesses.
Until the statement was issued, no mem-
ber of the House GOP leadership had sought
to draw public attention to the x, which
was tucked at Republicans request into leg-
islation preventing a cut in payments to
doctors who treat Medicare patients. The
bill cleared Congress more than a week ago.
It is unclear how many members of the
House rank and le knew of it because the
legislation was passed by a highly unusual
voice vote without debate.
Several lobbyists and Republican aides
who monitored the issue said the provision
reects a calculation that no matter how
hard the party tries, the earliest the law can
be repealed is after Obama leaves ofce in
2017. In the meantime, according to this
line of thinking, small-business owners
need all the exibility that can get to com-
ply with it.
One repeal-favoring Republican lawmak-
er took a similar view. I was brought up in
a family of 12. My mother taught me to be
patient, said Rep. Tom Reed of New York,
who backed a stand-alone bill to make the
same change.
The provision itself was relatively minor.
It eliminated a cap on deductibles for small
group policies offered inside the laws
health care exchanges as well as outside; the
cap was set at $2,000 for individuals and
$4,000 for families.
Republicans said they sought it so small
businesses can offer high-deductible plans
that could be purchased by individuals who
also have health savings accounts. These
tax-preferred accounts are a long-time
favorite of many Republicans, who say
they give consumers greater control over
their own health care.
The health law contains no deductible
caps for individual plans or those offered by
large employers, and the Department of
Health and Human Services already had
waived them for small businesses through
2015. The legislation means they will
never go into effect.
As yet, there is no indication the change
in course heralds any sort of signicant pre-
election change in attitude by Republicans,
GOP seeks coverage choices in health law they hate

who last week engineered their 52nd vote in
the House to repeal or dismember the law.
They have said they intend to make its elim-
ination a key element in the November elec-
tion.
At the same time, though, administration
ofcials announced last week that more than
7 million people have signed up for cover-
age. Democrats hope to counter demands for
repeal by challenging critics to explain
why they want to eliminate some of the
politically popular provisions such as guar-
anteed of coverage for pre-existing condi-
tions or plans without a lifetime cap in cov-
erage costs.
Fittingly in an era of divided government,
now that the change has been made, of-
cials in both parties are once more at odds,
each describing it as a victory for their side
in a ceaseless political struggle.
Asked if the legislation strengthened the
law, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-
Nev., said, I would hope so. I believe that
it does. He added, So there are changes
being made. But the Republicans have to
get over if they hate Obamacare and are
going to repeal it, he added.
Rory Cooper, a spokesman for House
Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said,
This is another in a series of changes to
Obamacare that the House has supported to
help save Americans from being harmed by
the law, and were glad to see the President
signed it into law. Cantor was involved in
negotiations on the legislation, which were
overseen by Boehner, R-Ohio, and Reid.
While Cooper described the change mere-
ly as one of several designed to prevent
harm, the episode marks the first time
Republicans have agreed to make it easier
for anyone to obtain coverage under the law.
According to a list maintained by the
ofce of the House Republican whip, Rep.
Kevin McCarthy of California, ve of the
eight previous changes signed by Obama
reduced funding; one repealed a minor
voucher provision; one jettisoned a section
dealing with home care for the elderly; and
the other eliminated a tax reporting require-
ment.
In this case, though, large business
organizations that support repeal pressed
Republicans to make the change.
Repealing the annual limitation on
deductible would free up an important
lever that employers need as they struggle
to design affordable plans that meet the
requirements of the law, R. Bruce Josten,
executive vice president at the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce, wrote senior law-
makers. He expressed satisfaction with
HHS waiver, yet added, a more permanent
and predictable solution is critical.
Democrats said the now-defunct limita-
tion was inserted into the original law in an
unsuccessful attempt to win the vote of for-
mer Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe of
Maine. She supported the bill in the Senate
Finance Committee but opposed it on the
Senate oor.

PHOENIX Aplastic surgeon who admit-
ted stealing medicinal cocaine from a
Scottsdale surgery center was sentenced
Monday to three years of probation for his
theft and drug convictions.
Dr. Paul Kenneth Holden stole ve vials
of the drug in the middle of the night July
10 from a surgery center that shares a build-
ing with his medical ofce, authorities said.
Awoman who was cleaning the surgery cen-
ter spotted Holden during the crime, police
said. He was clad in a white lab coat and was
hiding behind shelves next to the surgery
centers pharmacy.
Holden, 42, pleaded guilty three weeks
ago to a misdemeanor theft charge and a
felony drug-paraphernalia possession
charge. Holden can ask the court after com-
pleting any probation sentence to down-
grade his felony conviction to a misde-
meanor conviction.
He faced up to two years in prison, but
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge
Pamela Svoboda followed the recommenda-
tion in Holdens plea agreement that he be
sentenced to probation.
The judge pointed out that Holden had no
prior criminal history and has been under-
going substance abuse counseling.
Doctor gets probation in medicinal cocaine theft
rior of ofce or residential buildings, Weiss
said.
The proposal also includes a 1-acre park
and approximately 2 acres of open space
throughout the site, Weiss said.
The pre-application looks at modifying
portions of the 2011 plans, while also pro-
viding specic designs for buildings and
site improvements, Weiss said.
In 2010, the developer sought to post-
pone construction until it could secure
nancing in the range of $300 million.
EBL&S was unavailable for comment, how-
ever, Weiss said the annual development
agreement review took place earlier this
year.
As part of that 2011 agreement, EBL&S
paid $1.7 million to the city, which went
toward improvements along Delaware
Street, said Councilman Jack Matthews
said.
Station Park Green, along with a handful
of nearby transit-oriented development
projects such as Bay Meadows and the pro-
posed ofce development near State Route
92 called the Hines project, aligns with the
citys Rail Corridor Plan, Matthews said.
With Station Park Green back on the
table, Matthews said he wants to see a
vibrant transit-oriented community amidst
quality architectural designs.
He was active in the citys approval of its
Rail Corridor Plan in 2005 and thought it
could take decades to see progress.
Matthews said he is astonished at how far
Bay Meadows, Station Park Green and other
transit-oriented developments have come in
just nine years.
So when we made that vote [for the Rail
Corridor Plan], we werent sure when any of
this would happen. It actually happened in a
much more accelerated way than we had
thought, Matthews said. We have our
vision being fullled more quickly than I
think anyone imagined and thats great and
Im excited about it, Matthews said.
Parking and trafc were signicant con-
cerns during Station Park Greens rst go-
around and Matthews said hes interested in
the city following up after projects are com-
pleted.
Large-scale developments typically
increase trafc, however, whats concerning
are studies and projections that underesti-
mate actual impacts, Matthews said.
I think its important to follow up and
see what actually happens. To see what your
study says it would be, and if we nd out that
theres actually more trafc than projected,
then we gure out what we can do about it,
Matthews said.
Ben Toy, president of San Mateo United
Homeowners Association, knows many res-
ident naysayers fear increased trafc but
says its time to plan for a pedestrian-cen-
tric future.
He spent many years living on 19th
Avenue near the site and believes transit-
oriented development will eventually alle-
viate the trafc Station Park Green oppo-
nents fear, Toy said.
Do it right, a step at a time. Its painful
because as long as people still drive theres
going to be trafc. But youve got to start
somewhere, Toy said. We have to be good
stewards of every opportunity when we have
a sizable space like that to do it right for the
21st century.
The Greenbelt Alliance earlier endorsed
the Station Park Green project and agrees
contained development is better for the
environment, said Matt Vander Sluis,
Greenbelt Alliance regional director.
This is an example of a well-planned
development that allows for easy walking
and biking creating a vibrant neighborhood
while taking development pressure off of
our natural lands, Vander Sluis said.
Many residents were extremely outspo-
ken against the project and, although some
have moved away, Toy said hes condent
controversy will surface at the revival of
Station Park Green plans.
No decisions are made during the pre-
application stage, however, the public and
the Planning Commission will be give a
chance to weigh in, Weiss said.
There will be a neighborhood meeting 7
p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 15 at the
San Mateo Marriott, 1770 S. Amphlett
Blvd. in Inspire Room 2.
The public is also invited to comment at
the Planning Commission Study Session
starting 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 13 at City
Hall.

WASHINGTON Chances are
youve heard of mapping genes to
diagnose rare diseases, predict
your risk of cancer and tell your
ancestry. But to uncover food poi-
sonings?
The nations disease detectives
are beginning a program to try to
outsmart outbreaks by routinely
decoding the DNA of potentially
deadly bacteria and viruses.
The initial target is listeria, the
third-leading cause of death from
food poisoning and bacteria that
are especially dangerous to preg-
nant women. Already, the govern-
ment credits the technology with
helping to solve a listeria out-
break that killed one person in
California and sickened seven
others in Maryland.
This really is a new way to nd
and fight infections, said Dr.
Tom Frieden, director of the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. One way to think of
it is, is it identifying a suspect by
a lineup or by a ngerprint?
Whole genome sequencing, or
mapping all of an organisms
DNA, has become a staple of med-
ical research. But in public
health, it has been used more
selectively, to investigate partic-
ularly vexing outbreaks or emerg-
ing pathogens, such as a worri-
some new strain of bird u.
For day-to-day outbreak detec-
tion, officials rely instead on
decades-old tests that use pieces
of DNAand arent as precise.
Now, with genome sequencing
becoming faster and cheaper, the
CDC is armed with $30 million
from Congress to broaden its use
with a program called advanced
molecular detection. The hope is
to solve outbreaks faster, food-
borne and other types, and maybe
prevent infections, too, by better
understanding how they spread.
Frankly, in public health, we
have some catching up to do,
said the CDCs Dr. Christopher
Braden, who is helping to lead the
work.
As a rst step, federal and state
ofcials are rapidly decoding the
DNA of all the listeria infections
diagnosed in the U.S. this year,
along with samples found in
tainted foods or factories.
Its the rst time the technolo-
gy has been used for routine dis-
ease surveillance, looking for
people with matching strains who
may have gotten sick from the
same source.
If this pilot project works, the
CDC says it sets the stage to
eventually overhaul how public
health laboratories around the
country keep watch on food safe-
t y, and to use the technology
more routinely against other out-
breaks.
Genome sequencing really is
the ultimate DNA fingerprint,
said George Washington
University microbiologist Lance
Price, who uses it to study the
spread of antibiotic-resistant bac-
teria and says the CDCs move is
long overdue.
Especially in foodborne out-
breaks, the technology will
increase investigators ability to
nab the right culprit, he said. The
faster that happens, the fewer
people may get sick.
This is going to change every-
thing as far as source attribution,
Price added. Recalls are expen-
sive, the industry doesnt like
them, and theyve got to be accu-
rate.
Todays standard tests some-
times miss linked cases or pro-
vide false leads. For example,
U.S. officials in 2012 initially
thought a salmonella outbreak in
the Netherlands, associated with
smoked salmon, was linked to
cases here. Later sequencing
showed the bugs were different.
The current methods of subtyp-
ing salmonella arent very good,
said epidemiologist David Boxrud
of the Minnesota Department of
Health, part of a pilot Food and
Drug Administration network that
has begun sequencing that germ
and certain others when theyre
discovered in food. State labs in
Arizona, Florida, Maryland, New
York, Virginia and Washington
also participate.
Sequencing also promises to
reveal drug resistance and how
virulent a germ is more quickly
than todays tests, and track how
its spreading from one person to
another through tiny genetic
changes that act like footprints.
Key to making it work is the
computing power of a massive
federal database being used to
store the gene maps, said Duncan
MacCannell, the CDCs senior
adviser for bioinformatics. Its
one thing to analyze bacterial
DNA culled from a few dozen sick
people during an outbreak, and
another to compare samples from
thousands.
Until recently, the CDC didnt
have the tools and approaches to
make sense of this much data, he
said.
The listeria project began as
ofcials were investigating some
sick Maryland newborns and their
mothers. Genome sequencing
showed those cases were linked to
a California death, helping inves-
tigators determine which foods to
focus on, said Dr. Robert Tauxe,
CDCs leading foodborne disease
sleuth.
Standard tests prompted recall
of the FDAs suspect, a brand of
Hispanic-style cheese. Last
month, the government
announced that sequencing also
confirmed listeria from the
recalled cheese matched germs
from the patients.
We expect to be able to match
more and more of what we nd in
people to what we nd in food, as
the project grows, Tauxe said.

When the board has advanced to the
point of being able to announce the
grant-making process that announce-
ment will be made at a public meeting,
Kraus said. The board hasnt even got-
ten to the point where it has explored
some of the options for what it could
do with the money, she added.
The San Bruno City Council received
and reviewed more than 80 applica-
tions for the positions. After inter-
viewing 11 nalists, the City Council
selected Patricia Bohm, Ben Cohn,
Frank Hedley, John P. McGlothlin,
Emily Roberts and Regina Stanback-
Stroud, in addition to Kraus.
Crestmoor residents have some pre-
liminary ideas of how theyd like to
see the money spent. Debra Marks
home was damaged in the explosion.
She would like to see the library updat-
ed or upgraded, along with a communi-
ty meeting room, she said.
Theres no place that we can have
meetings without intruding on other
entities, she said. Itd be nice if the
community had place to go where peo-
ple could have meetings when needed.
Neighbor Bill Magoolaghans home
had to be rebuilt as a result of the
explosion and he understands the foun-
dation has a large challenge in nding
meaningful ways to spend the money.
Hed like to see an investment rather
than just spending it that nds a way to
continue to have revenue coming into
the neighborhood that could be used
for other projects.
I, like everybody else, am very curi-
ous about what theyre going to come
up with, he said. Maybe some major
projects like a community center or
indoor pool. Im interested in things
that benet the entire community such
as ongoing support or therapy. Theres
still a lot of people struggling with
having lives uprooted and living in a
war zone.

PG&E
lawmakers and outside groups and
Boehners unwillingness to allow it to
the floor without changes that
Republicans say would enhance job cre-
ation.
The Senate vote itself, seven months
before congressional elections, capped
a bruising three-month struggle. Fifty-
one Democrats, two independents and
six Republicans voted for approval.
The bill was the rst major piece of
legislation that Democrats sent to the
oor of the Senate when Congress con-
vened early in the year, the linchpin of
a broader campaign-season agenda
meant to showcase concern for men and
women who are doing poorly in an era
of economic disparity between rich and
poor.
In the months since, the Democrats
have alternately pummeled Republicans
for holding up passage and made con-
cessions in an effort to gain support
from enough GOP lawmakers to over-
come a libuster. Chief among those
concessions was an agreement to pay
the $9.6 billion cost of the ve-month
bill by making offsetting spending cuts
elsewhere in the budget.
The White House-backed measure
would retroactively restore benefits
that were cut off in late December, and
maintain them through the end of May.
Ofcials say as many as 2.3 million
jobless workers have been denied
assistance since the law expired late
last year. If renewed, the aid would
total about $256 weekly, and in most
cases go to men and women who have
been off the job for longer than six
months.
Sens. Jack Reed, D-R.I., and Dean
Heller, R-Nev., the bills leading sup-
porters, said they were willing to con-
sider changes in hopes of securing pas-
sage in a highly reluctant House.
Heller also said he was seeking a
meeting with Boehner to discuss the
measure.
At the White House, President Barack
Obama said in a statement: I urge
House Republicans to stop blocking a
bipartisan compromise...Lets remove
this needless drag on our economy and
focus on expanding opportunity for all
Americans.
In their letter to Boehner, seven
House Republicans wrote that since the
program expired, many more people
have lost benets each week, bringing
the number of long-term unemployed
Americans without government assis-
tance to greater than two million.
Michael Steel, a spokesman for
Boehner, noted that the speaker had
said months ago we are willing to look
at extending emergency unemployment
insurance as long as it includes provi-
sions to help create more private sector
jobs but last week, Senate
Democratic leaders ruled out adding any
jobs measures at all.
That was an apparent reference to a
refusal by Senate Democrats to permit a
vote on a Republican proposal that
would have allowed construction of the
proposed Keystone oil pipeline from
Canada and made numerous changes in
the nations health care law. GOP law-
makers say all of the proposals would
help create jobs.
BILL
about how to work together on pro-
grams.
Trees are important to me, she
said. They clean the air and the city
mentioned with drought conditions
some of the young trees might not
make it.
In an ongoing effort to increase the
urban canopy, the citys Park Division
crews spend a significant of time
watering newly planted trees to ensure
their survival, said Bob Disco, park
supervisor and city arborist.
Many of the trees the volunteers are
watering are in the commercial areas in
Burlingame where they are often neg-
lected, Disco said. Having the vol-
unteers take on this commitment for
two years frees staff to perform their
routine tree maintenance on our
15,000 city street trees.
The rest of Burlingame cares about
trees too. Burlingame has the longest
running city of trees designation in
Northern California.
Its important because we have a lot
of newly planted of tress that die
because they dont get watered on a
regular basis, said Vice Mayor Terry
Nagel. Weve been a tree city for sev-
eral decades, so people care very pas-
sionately about trees in Burlingame.
Its like having a baby-sitter for new
trees to make sure well tended until
theyre strong enough to survive.
There are several positive aspects to
having more trees in Burlingame, the
city says.
Absorbing pollutants is one, while
another is reducing erosion, control-
ling storm water runoff and lowering
temperatures by transpiring water and
shading surfaces. It also says it helps
reduce stress levels and improve men-
tal health.
Given that we live between two
major highways, we need to do every-
thing we can to clean our air and make
our community a better place to live,
Meriwether said. It (a tree) actually
takes particulate matter out of the air.
Trees are one thing as citizens we can
leave as a legacy behind when were
long gone.
There are 20 trees on the adoption
list and so far two have been adopted.
To sign up to adopt a tree, visit
bit.ly/1d8tIXO. To learn more about
the program, visit bit.ly/1qHxHUv. To

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Marjorie A. Culp
Case Number: 124334
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Marjorie A. Culp. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Patricia
A. Culp in the Superior Court of Califor-
nia, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that Patricia A.
Culp be appointed as personal represen-
tative to administer the estate of the de-
cedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: April 30, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
