Supervisors name new controller

Board decides to skip election and a public appointment process to fill upcoming vacancy
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Board of Supervisors skipped both an election and a public appointment process to ll the upcoming controller vacancy, opting yesterday instead to immediately name the offices second in command and begin researching the possibility of no longer making it an elected position.
Bob Adler
The board voted 3-2 to appoint Assistant Controller Bob Adler, a suggestion made by Supervisor Don Horsley who last week favored an election. Horsley called Adler eminently qualied, saying he knew his work and work ethic from
20 years of working together in the county. Board President Adrienne Tissier and Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson also favored Adlers appointment. Both supervisor Carole Groom and Dave Pine also commended Adler but said an outright naming rather than a transparent vetting of candidates was the wrong move. It is absolutely critical that a candidate who would like to ll this position through an
appointment go through some sort of public process, Pine said. Adler follows current Controller Tom Huening who submitted his irrevocable resignation last month effective March 30. Huening, 70, has been controller since 1998 and is leaving to work full time on his second book. Adler, 57, is a Redwood City resident

Deliberation for murder retrial of former Raiders daughter begins

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
While serving time for strangling Tracey Biletnikoff at a San Mateo rehabilitation meeting hall 13 years ago, the former boyfriend now being retried showed little remorse for his victim or her family, a prosecutor told jurors during his rebuttal argument yesterday. Mohammed Haroon Ali told the doctor in August 2009 that they didnt really love her and werent there for her so I dont see any real loss for them, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe told jurors, displaying the exact words on a large poster in front of them. Alis lack of remorse doesnt decide if he should again be convicted of murdering Biletnikoff but also doesnt mesh with the description the defense gave as him feeling horrible for what he did, Wagstaffe said. Wagstaffe gave his primary closing argument Monday but returned in front of the jury yesterday morning for a nal rebuttal to the defense. The jury retired before noon to begin deliberating whether Ali is guilty of rst-degree or second-degree murder or voluntary manslaughter in the death of Biletnikoff, 20, on Feb. 15, 1999. Opening statements were given in late January and jurors have spent more than a month hearing testimony, including from Ali himself, about the events leading up to the fatal confrontation, his efforts to divert suspicion by staging a crime scene elsewhere and his ight to Mexico in Biletnikoffs car. Taking all the evidence together, Wagstaffe told the jurors that rst-degree murder is the only fair and just verdict in this case. However, defense attorney Peter Goldscheider argued that the death was a crime of passion provoked by Biletnikoff calling him names during their nal argument and inuenced by bipolar II disorder, drug use and emotional duress from a former girlfriends rejection. Wagstaffe told jurors none of those meet the legal standard of provocation and that they must judge if his response was that of an average, rational person. Thats unique to him. Thats not the standard, he said. Biletnikoff, the daughter of former football star Fred Biletnikoff, and Ali met in 1997 at respective substance abuse programs that overlapped in San Mateo. Ali had joined Project 90 while on probation for kidnapping a former girlfriend at knifepoint and became a part-time counselor with access to the van hed eventually use to move her body. The weekend before their confrontation, Ali drank beer with some friends in San Francisco followed by using crack, heroin and crank. On Feb. 15, 199, he
confessed his relapse and Biletnikoff told him he would have to begin rehab anew. They went to the Friendship Hall on Second Avenue in San Mateo to meet with one of his mentors and ended up alone together inside an ofce where Ali asked for Mohammed Ali Biletnikoffs car keys. She refused and there is where the two versions of events vary. Wagstaffe argued Ali, angry at Biletnikoffs refusal and worried that a probation-administered urine test the next day would lead to prison and deportation, choked Biletnikoff rst with his hands then with a black T-shirt to nish the job. He said Biletnikoff was in a three to ve minute death struggle that left her neck scratched and bruised. Goldscheider, and Ali in his own words, said Biletnikoff called him a loser and compared him to an ex-boyfriend. He said she was also upset he had contact with a pregnant ex-girlfriend. Ali testied he put his hands on Biletnikoffs shoulders to move her from the door and next remembers seeing her on the ground with white foam coming from her mouth. He suggested Biletnikoff lost consciousness quickly before dying which is why no one in the hall heard anything. Ali also said he added the T-shirt ligature later after Biletnikoff was dead to make it look like a sex crime. Ali moved Biletnikoffs body in the van rst to his sisters home where he pleaded with his nephew for money and then to Caada College in Redwood City where he removed her pants and dragged the body down the side of a hill, leaving her legs spread apart. He then returned the van and ed to Mexico in Biletnikoffs car. He was apprehended at the border when he tried returning to the United States. In 2001, Ali was convicted of rst-degree murder and sentenced to 60 years to life for that crime and the previous kidnapping. In 2009, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the conviction, ruling that Wagstaffe had improperly removed at least one black individual from the jury pool for racial discrimination reasons. Wagstaffe contends that is wrong. During this trial, Ali called his stories to police and family about the crime a mixture of lies and truth and yesterday Wagstaffe told jurors it is now their job to discern between the two. He showed them a list of 64 lies by his count and asked the jury not to be swayed by Alis tears and apparent bid for sympathy on the stand. Tracey Biletnikoff doesnt get to be here and ask for that, he said. Ali remains in custody without bail.

An alert citizen led to the arrest of two graffiti vandals in San Mateo early Monday morning, according to a press release by Belmont Police. At about 12:25 a.m. Monday, March 12, a citizen agged down a Belmont Police ofcer at Ralston Avenue and Hiller Street to report a group of people spray painting grafti on the sound wall on Highway 101 just north of Ralston Avenue. The ofcer responded to the area to nd four to ve people spray painting the sound wall within the San Mateo city limits. Suspects ed on foot. Belmont and San Mateo police officers worked together to search the area. A short-time later Belmont Police apprehended one of the suspects near Laurie Meadows Park in San Mateo and a second was arrested nearby by San Mateo Police. Kyle Klimas, 21 of Belmont and a 16-yearold from San Carlos, whose name is withheld due to his age, were arrested for vandalism. Klimas was cited and release and the juvenile was released to his parents. The investigation into the identities of the other suspects who ed is continuing. Anyone with information on this investigation is asked to call Belmont Police at 5957400 or the Belmont Crime Tip Line at 5983000.
SACRAMENTO California lawmakers and election officials worried about the effect of postal closures on elections are considering extending the voting period for mail-in-ballots, a move that could delay results by days or even weeks. Election officials are concerned that longer delivery times will disenfranchise tens of thousands of absentee voters after the U.S. Postal Service begins closing post offices and mail distribution centers this summer. During a joint legislative hearing Tuesday, lawmakers, county registrars and Secretary of State Debra Bowen discussed the possibility of changing California election law so ballots must be merely postmarked by Election Day. Currently, they must be in the hands of election workers by the time polls close to be counted. Bowen acknowledged the change could mean the end of same-night election results, with nearly half the California electorate voting absentee. You hate to make changes with a gun to your head, she said. About 40 percent of California voters are registered for permanent absentee ballots, compared with 5 percent in 2000. Nearly 6 million residents voted by mail in 2008, the last presidential election.

A woman walks into a post ofce which is due to close in Los Angeles.
Bowen has said that mailed ballots took from five to seven days to arrive at county election offices during last years local elections in areas that lost distribution centers, instead of the normal one to three days. Democratic Sen. Lou Correa of Anaheim said he is pushing through a bill on an urgency basis that would allow ballots to be postmarked on Election Day. A bill he introduced last year would have brought California in line with the 10 other states that do that, but it died in the Senate.
Redwood City Police to hold DUI check point St. Patricks Day
The Redwood City Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI Checkpoint from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday, March 17. The mobile checkpoint will move between four different locations within the city limits, operating for about an hour at each site. Research shows that crashes involving alcohol drop by an average of 20 percent when well-publicized checkpoints are conducted often enough. Officers will evaluate drivers passing through the checkpoint for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment. Ofcers will also check for proper licensing and will strive to delay motorists only momentarily. Drivers caught driving impaired can expect jail, license suspension and insurance increases, as well as nes, fees, DUI classes and other expenses that can exceed $10,000. Funding for this checkpoint is provided to the Redwood City Police Department by a grant from the California Ofce of Trafc Safety, through the National Highway Trafc Safety Administration, targeting those who still dont heed the message to designate a sober driver.
Transitional kindergarten gains legislative support

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Whether or not children who turn 5 late this year will start school in the fall is still in limbo after the Assembly Budget Subcommittee on Education Finance rejected the governors plan to cut funding Tuesday. Under the Kindergarten Readiness Act of 2010, authored by state Sen. Joe Simitian, DPalo Alto, students must be 5 years old to start kindergarten. Starting this year, the deadline to turn 5 will slowly be moved up from Dec. 1 to Sept. 1. An additional year of transitional kindergarten, called TK, was supposed to be offered for children with birthdays after the new deadlines the new program called for state funding. That funding is in limbo as Gov. Jerry Browns budget proposal calls to cut $223.7 million which would result in the elimination of transitional kindergarten. On Tuesday, the Assembly subcommittee opposed the proposed cut calling the idea misguided. This TK train has already left the station. Parents are planning on it, schools are planning
on it. There has already been an investment made. We would be just pulling the rug out from under these efforts that have already been happening at school sites. Parents are going to be left high and dry, Assemblywoman Julia Brownley, D-Santa Monica, chairwoman of the California State Assembly Committee on Education, said in a press release. As Simitian previously explained, providing transitional kindergarten is currently required by law. Also, the funding mechanism, he argued, doesnt allow the governor to simply make a line item cut. The law would need to be changed by a vote of both houses of the California Legislature. Without direction, and months from such a decision being made, local districts are in limbo. Most local districts are choosing the waitand-see option since, the reality is, it would be hard to afford the program without funding. San Mateo-Foster City and San Bruno elementary school districts, for example, are planning as though it will be implemented. Many of the other districts Belmont-
Redwood Shores, Hillsborough, Millbrae, and San Carlos elementary are all in a holding pattern. Moving forward without funding would be difcult for the small districts. Burlingame Elementary School District used the new law to overhaul kindergarten throughout the district to offer full-day kindergarten instead of the current policy of staggering start and end times for students. The transitional kindergarten question is compounded by possible cuts to state-funded child-care programs like preschool. Should districts decide not to offer transitional kindergarten, parents of those children could desire another year of preschool. Cuts to child care will then mean more children signing up for fewer spots. Across the state, many educational leaders have spoken out against cutting the transitional kindergarten program. Early education advocates argue the proposed cut would be a step back in the effort to better prepare children for school. Preschool California estimates cutting funds could delay access to education for 125,000 California students.

Community outreach plan to be discussed

A plan to include the community in a conversation about meeting the enrollment needs of Foster City will be shared by Superintendent Cynthia Simms Thursday evening. On March 1, the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District decided not to place a $130 million bond measure for facility upgrades on the June ballot after residents packed the room objecting to the idea of replacing a shopping center with a new school. The recent effort to oppose a school in a location where there are current businesses also raised questions about the possibility of a bond measure for improvements to facilities on the June ballot. Given the public concerns, the board held off on seeking funds and directed staff to develop a plan to reach out to the community to re-evaluate options. While the Charter Square controversy is the reason for holding off on this particular bond measure, the issue at hand is a bit more complicated. Consistent growing enrollment has been an issue for years. Community meetings were held in 2008 to gauge input on possible solutions. The overwhelming favorite from parents was a new school site. Finding a home for that school has been a challenge. A number of residents suggested using a park or building up. Originally, the district considered four sites Boothbay Park, Port Royal Park, 3.9 acres at the terminus of Halibut Street and Beach Park Boulevard and portions of the 15-acre site adjacent to City Hall. Residents came out in large numbers with concerns about losing park space for a school. Most of the parks were not suitable for a school anyway. The city was also not keen on using prime real estate for a cause that would not generate tax revenue. During the last school year, the district began searching for private land. It again considered four locations, three in Foster City 1164 Trinton Drive; 551 Foster City Blvd.; and 1050-1064 Shell Blvd. and one in San Mateo, 400 Mariners Island Blvd. Numerous closed session meetings were held before the top choice, Charter Square, was announced in September. Discussions about the property are agendized for the board during closed session Thursday night. Purchasing land is to be covered using funds from Measure L a 2008 $175 million bond measure. Measure Ls bond language allows for helping with overcrowding issues. Construction costs will most likely be covered with a new, separate bond measure. At first it appeared the district would have a $25 million bond measure on the November ballot for that purpose. As proposed, the bond would have been paid for by Foster City residents only. In August, the board pulled the measure citing a desire to conduct environmental and financial studies on a possible site before asking for funds to build the school. The board then came back with the $130 million bond measure it was considering putting on the June ballot. A larger bond was considered since the district as a whole has unmet needs from the $330 million outlined in needs in the 2007-08 facilities master plan. The board meets 7 p.m. Thursday, March 15 at the District Office, 1170 Chess Drive.

Lagoon shooter pleads no contest to two counts of assault

A Foster City man acquitted of attempting to murder two men he shot during an argument over noise at the lagoon pleaded no contest to two counts of assault by means of force yesterday rather than face a retrial on five of the same charges. Last month, the same 10-woman, two-man jury that found Jesse David Wilson, 41, not guilty of attempted murder and attempted voluntary manslaughter deadlocked on five counts of assault with a deadly weapon. Prosecutors spent the last weeks deciding whether to retry Wilson on those counts and on Tuesday agreed to a negotiated settlement. Wilsons assault charges do not count as criminal strikes and he received credit for 292 days in jail already served. He must also spend
Jesse Wilson
three years on supervised probation and Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti said the prosecution will not oppose reducing the charges to misdemeanors if he can complete 18 months
successfully. During the two-week trial, Wilson testified that he had acted in selfdefense on July 9, 2010 when he shot Steve Dimond and Anthony Cook outside his ground-floor unit at the Beach Cove Apartments. Wilson said he went outside with a .38-caliber handgun because he heard a woman scream and what sounded like a fight. Shortly after midnight, Cook, Dimond, their wives and a friend had decided to go boating
on the lagoon after drinking at a concert in Foster City. A kayak carrying three of the revelers overturned, causing one of the women to scream. Wilsons neighbor, who is Asian, went outside to ask the boating party to quiet down. He was chased back inside his apartment under a barrage of racial slurs and an armed Wilson went to investigate, according to the defense. When the boating party saw that Wilson had a gun, they allegedly rushed him to try to disarm him. Wilson fired the gun twice during the fight that followed. Dimond was shot in the back and suffered a collapsed lung and Cook was shot in the abdomen. Both men survived, and testified that Wilson had shot them before they started to punch him and beat him to the ground. Wilson suffered a broken orbital bone and multiple cuts and bruises.

On Wednesday, the Redwood City Elementary School District Board of Trustees will consider refinancing Measure B, a $22 million bond measure passed by voters in 2002. Municipal bond interest rates are at 40 year lows. Renancing the 2002 bonds could result in significant savings to bond repayment, resulting in lower tax rates for taxpayers, Chief Business Ofcial Raul A. Parungao wrote in a staff report. Parungao estimated over $4 million in debt service savings by renancing. The board meets 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 14 at the District Office, 750 Bradford St., Redwood City. On Wednesday, the San Bruno Elementary School District Board of Trustees will discuss sending notices to 17 full-time-equivalent employees 13 elementary teachers, an elementary school principal and three English/language arts instructors. California requires districts to send out preliminary notices to teachers by March 15, many of which will go before school boards starting this week. Often the number is rened before nal layoff notices are sent out by May 15. Teachers who are laid off could be asked back over the summer, when the states budget becomes clear. Layoff numbers could be high this year as Gov. Jerry Browns current state budget proposal funds education at the same rate if tax measures are passed in November. Without it, districts will face mid-year cuts, which they need to budget for now. The board meets 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 14 at Crestmoor Elementary School, 2322 Crestmoor Drive, San Bruno. On Thursday, the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District will consider sending notications to 40.1 full-time equivalent classied employees and reduce three employees from 12 months of work to 10 months. The board meets 7 p.m. Thursday, March 15 at the District Ofce, 1170 Chess Drive, Foster City.
WASHINGTON A resurgent Rick Santorum swept to victory in primaries in Alabama and Mississippi Tuesday night, upending the race for the Republican presidential nomination yet again and trying to nudge Newt Gingrich toward the sidelines. Mitt Romney was running third in both states. We did it again, Newt Gingrich Santorum told cheering supporters in Lafayette, La. He added, Now is the time for conservatives to pull together in an effort to defeat Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who still is the faraway leader in the delegate competition to pick an oppoPresident Mitt Romney nent to in the fall. Barack Obama In defeat, Romney issued a brief written statement congratulating the nights big winner but also saying, I am pleased that we will be increasing our delegate count in a very substantial way after tonight. In the hours before the votes were counted, he had bristled that Santorum was at the desperate end of his campaign. While Romney must regroup, it was Gingrich with the most to lose as he struggled for political survival in a part of the country he hoped would fuel one more comeback in the unpredictable race.

Rick Santorum is applauded by his family at his Alabama and Mississippi primary election night rally in Lafayette,La.
Birmingham, Ala., Gingrich twice referred to remaining in the marathon contest. But he was unusually complimentary toward Santorum, a contrast to pokes at Romney. If youre the front-runner and you keep coming in third, youre not much of a front-runner, he said. It is rare for Alabama and Mississippi to play an important role in a Republican nominating campaign, but the 2012 race has gone on far longer than usual. Equally improbable was the decision by Santorum and Romney to campaign in the next few days in Puerto Rico, which holds a primary on Sunday. Illinois holds its primary next Tuesday, and already Romneys super PAC was advertising there in hopes of giving him an advantage. Evangelicals played an outsized role in both of Tuesdays primary states, underscoring the challenge Romney had faced in the Southern primaries. In Mississippi and Alabama, 80 percent or more of voters leaving their polling places said they were born again Christians or evangelical. Those voters have been reluctant to rally to Romneys side in the primaries and caucuses to date. Among them, Santorum bested Romney by 9 points in Alabama and 4 points in Mississippi.
Citibank,three others fail Fed stress test; 15 pass

By Martin Crutsinger and Pallavi Gogoi
WASHINGTON Four major U.S. banks failed to show they have enough capital to survive another serious downturn, the Federal Reserve said Tuesday. The list included Citigroup, the nations third-largest bank. The Fed said 15 of the19 major banks tested passed. The Fed noted that all 19 banks are in a much stronger position than immediately after the 2008 nancial crisis.
Still, SunTrust, Ally Financial and MetLife joined Citi in failing to meet the tests minimum capital requirements. The Fed reviewed the bank balance sheets to determine whether they could withstand a crisis that sends unemployment to 13 percent, causes stock prices to be cut in half and lowers home prices 21 percent from todays levels. Citis failure came as a shock. Analysts were expecting the bank to pass, especially after it reported two years of prots. Some analysts expected the bank to be able to
increase its dividend to 10 cents a share and even buy back stock. Citis stock fell 4 percent in the after-market. For those banks that failed, the Fed can stop them from paying stock dividends or buying back their own stock. The Fed can also force them to raise money by selling additional stock or issuing debt. Last year, the Fed allowed some banks including JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo to raise their dividends because they were deemed healthier.
S.F. sheriff in political thicket after guilty plea

SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco sheriff has a political thicket to get through now that hes putting his legal woes behind him with a plea bargain in a domestic violence case that made international headlines. Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi pleaded guilty Monday to a misdemeanor charge of false imprisonment in Ross Mirkarimi exchange for the dropping of three more serious charges, including misdemeanor domestic violence and child endangerment. The plea doesnt automatically disqualify Mirkarimi from ofce, but San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee said Monday he plans to consult with city attorneys and investigate what disciplinary actions he can take. Lee does have the authority to attempt to remove Mirkarimi from ofce if the mayor believes the conviction rises to ofcial misconduct. This clearly remains serious and troubling for our city, Lee said in a statement. The sheriff has pleaded guilty to an unexpected and very serious charge that has introduced a new set of legal issues that must be thoroughly reviewed, he said. Lee could call for Mirkarimis removal from ofce, which would require a trial before the citys 11-member Board of Supervisors. Nine

votes are required to remove Mirkarimi from ofce. Political commentators predicted that Mirkarimis removal is a longshot. For starters, he still has several allies on the Board of Supervisors, where he served for eight years until January.
BART-to-San Jose construction to start in April

Federal, state and local transit ofcials say the long-awaited construction to extend Bay Area Rapid Transit service to San Jose will begin next month. Transportation leaders on Monday signed nal documents pledging $900 million in federal funds for the $2.3 billion Berryessa extension, scheduled to open in 2016. The money will fund a 10-mile BART link from Fremont to San Joses Berryessa district. Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority CEO Michael Burns called the occasion a celebration as he signed the documents along with Federal Transit Administration deputy administrator Therese McMillan at City Hall. Groundbreaking is set for April 12. Ofcials are now eyeing a proposed $4 billion extension that would connect an underground link from downtown San Jose to a street level link in Santa Clara. Burns says hes optimistic as Santa Clara County voters have already approved two sales tax increases for BART.

U.S.Postal Service reforms

The Seattle Times
Other voices
effort to save more than $6 billion a year by closing 252 mail-processing centers and 3,700 post offices. More than 100,000 jobs would be lost. Included in Donahues proposal, which was restated recently in a letter to Congress, is an end to Saturday service, slower delivery and a nickel increase in postage to 50 cents for a first-class stamp. Congress is of two minds, and the stalling is costing a bundle. Sen. Joe Lieberman, IConn., has Senate Bill 1789, which follows the closure template, but is considered an improvement. Bipartisan resistance is growing. In part the protests are over first-class
verdue financial reforms for the U.S. Postal Service should be a priority delivery. They should not include new sources of revenue that directly compete with existing businesses. Congress is wrestling with how to staunch the losses at the Postal Service without dramatic changes. It is wishful thinking in the face of plunging mail volumes, stunning employee overhead and yet another quarterly loss, this one at $3.3 billion. Postmaster General Patrick Donahue is proposing a five-year cost-cutting plan that has lawmakers from rural districts in a panic. The ideas represent a no-nonsense
service bumping down to three-day delivery. At the core, however, are rural jobs and the cultural role of local post offices. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has HR 2309, which also promotes five-day delivery, and would gradually eliminate discounts for nonprofits and their direct-mail campaigns. He has resisted a key change that others argue could make the Postal Service marginally profitable: changes to employee benefits systems. Stay focused on mail delivery. Make postmarks count, so bill payers do not suffer late fees with slow delivery. The first savings is ending the massive prepayments on future health benefits, then making sure the mail is delivered.
Spring fling
aylight savings has given us an extra stretch of what else? daylight at one end of the clock which means spring is right around the corner Tuesday to be exact which, in turn, means its time for a little housecleaning. Maybe that explains the expected days of storms this week; even the world needs a healthy hosing off once in a while. But why stop with tidying the sock drawer, organizing the garage clutter or even washing down the earth? If spring is the time to ing out the old and make room for the new, lets also do away with some other unnecessary things. First off, lets dust off the road rules and remember that law requires drivers using windshield wipers in the rain to turn on their lights. Its not rocket science; heck, its not even more energy than the ick of the wrist. But without exception, the roadways are peppered with motorists who refuse to abide. They might be the same folks who cant merge and only turn on the blinker right before making a turn. Clean them all out, I say! Can we also nally put away the notion that all children are angelic gifts with nothing but love in their heart and smiles in their eyes? Granted, most are bouncing bundles of joy and tumbling toddlers of happiness but even the best kept garden gets a bad seed or two. Case in point, three Fresno students who in December sweetened their teachers cup of joe and a cupcake with a dash of rat poison. Fortunately, one of the fth graders had a change of heart and knocked the cup over before the teacher could take a sip. The kicker to the story is that the school district did not immediately discipline the students or head to the local prosecutors ofce; instead, ofcials simply transferred them to a new classroom how lucky is that new, clueless instructor? But what this shows is that while the most dangerous thing at a school lately is apparently the teachers themselves, a handful of students are no prize, either. It should go without saying but lets say it anyway that some things in need of a quick trip to the garbage pile need little explanation: Occupy movements that dont go anywhere, escalating gas prices, anonymous hacking, ranked voting, gloried teen pregnancy reality shows, the never-satised Birthers, the seemingly never-ending Ross Mirkarimi domestic violence circus, the denitely never-ending primary season, lingering shock that Stephen Hawking likes the occasional visit to a gentlemans club, contraception as a presidential election issue still, and rampant imitations of Angelina Jolies leg. Their time did come but now its time for them to go and not even to the recycling center. These things arent even worthy of refurbishing. And what about the presence of famous faces in food and the crazy amounts of money buyers are willing to shell out? Surely, that is a phenomenon in need of a strong shaking out except for maybe the Nun Bun because that likeness is just too uncanny to pass up. The latest bit of hoopla surrounded a McDonalds Chicken McNugget that reportedly resembles former president George Washington and sold on eBay for $8,100. Unfortunately for the owner, the buyer chickened out of the deal late last week, leaving her scrambling to nd somebody else willing to spend more on a piece of frozen fast-food than on many used cars. Stories like this just show how sad society can be although it does offer a good excuse for a trip to the drive-through. No, Im not craving food, Im scavenging for hidden gold. Yes, spring is about to be sprung and theres no time like the present to toss out the old, broken and downright undesirable. Wanting to hold on to some of them is understandable but not even losing 10 pounds or the re-emergence of acid wash as fashionable is worth keeping them in the proverbial closet. Realistically, though, chances are some of these items wont stay out of the limelight for long. Seasons arent the only thing with a tendency to fall back.

Synchronize our daylight-saving time
Editor, Sunday evenings extra daylight was marvelous! But we paid the price for moving the clocks ahead one hour on Monday morning, when we had to arise for work in the dark. Jumping ahead to daylight-saving time before the spring equinox, when there are equal amounts of daytime and night, results in dark mornings. The problem is the safety of our children walking or biking to school as the rising sun shines into commuters eyes. Its dangerous. It is even worse in the fall when we wait until six weeks after the autumn equinox before changing the clocks back to standard time. We should synchronize our daylight-saving time with the Earth and suns natural rhythms, starting DST at the spring equinox, March 21, and ending with the autumn equinox, Sept 21. There is no other welfare. Ten residents in the block support them. Indigent families need at least $2,500 each, monthly, to eke out an existence plus a few lottery tickets. Each month a government collector goes door to door on Mr. DeMatteis block collecting $500 each from the 10 democrat residents. The $5,000 is divided and given to the impoverished down the block. Im trying to envision a smiling Mr. DeMattei, wallet in hand, answering the door, peeling off five crisp Benjies each month. The picture Im getting is DeMattei and most of his charitable neighbors dismantling their doorbells. And before long, cranky neighbors discussing wild parties and suspected drug use and getting up a petition to make the leeches move. OK, make it 22 houses: 20 residents paying $250 a month to support the two at the end of the block. Or 42 houses (thats a long block), which brings it down to $125 a month. Am I getting in your price range yet, Mr. DeMattei? According to the article, the jail is estimated to cost approximately $165 million. The annual operating costs are estimated at roughly $40 million. This is money we do not have. Supervisor Dave Pine did not sign off this project. David Boesch, San Mateo Countys last manager, was forced to resign because he did not sign off on this project. In fact, he asked the outrageous question, How are the taxpayers going to afford this? San Mateo Countys Controller Tom Huening just resigned, and he did not sign off this project. He said something a little stronger: Ive basically said we cant afford it. Wake up San Mateo County taxpayers.

Bring the troops home

Editor, Unprovoked and uncaused attacks have been waged by the United States against Afghan civilians. It is not as though this was one deplorable act. In the night raids all across Afghanistan (there are an average of 10 raids per night and sometimes as many as 40 raids in a night), the U.S. military is killing civilians steadily. Combine that with the drone surveillance and the combat helicopter attacks that have killed civilians. All of this will result in perpetual war, more such killing sprees and possibly an increase in terrorism and terrorist acts like Sept. 11. Bring the troops home!

Sharing the wealth

Editor, Pity we cant have a test block in Mr. DeMatteis neighborhood a block in which only democrats live (in response to Raymond DeMatteis letter, The conservative religion in the March 6 edition of the Daily Journal).There are 12 houses in this block, 10 occupied by residents whose individual income is around $7,000 a month net. There are two (also democrat) families with no income and no ability or inclination to work, yet they have needs. They live in two houses provided by HUD agency.
We cannot afford it
Editor, In Jail money fight not over published in the March 12 edition of the Daily Journal, the following is stated: County officials remain undaunted, believing a combination of legislation by Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, and supporting advocacy by the construction trades can help them nab at least some money. San Mateo County supervisors have already signed off on plans to build a new correctional facility and Greg Munks wants to break ground by the end of the year.

Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial. JPMorgan Chase stock soared 7 percent, and other banks followed. Citigroup and Goldman Sachs gained 6 percent. Banks were easily the best-performing stocks in the market, gaining almost 4 percent as a group. The Fed had planned to release the results of its review, known as a stress test, for 19 nancial institutions Thursday after the market closed. After JPMorgan Chase made its announcement, the Fed pulled a surprise. The central bank released its stress test results a half-hour after the markets closed Tuesday two days ahead of schedule. JPMorgan Chase and 14 other nancial institutions passed. Four, including Citigroup, failed. Citigroup stock was down 4 percent in after-hours trading following the Fed announcement. The Dow nished at 13,177.68, its highest close since Dec. 31, 2007. Tuesdays close put the Dow within 1,000 points of its record, 14,164.53, set in October 2007. All 30 stocks in the Dow closed higher, the rst time that has happened this year.

The Nasdaq composite closed above 3,000 for the rst time since December 2000, when dot-com stocks were collapsing. There was already plenty of good news driving the market higher Tuesday: Retail sales in February increased the most since September, and the Federal Reserve said it expected the unemployment rate to keep falling. Then the market soared in the nal hour after JPMorgan Chase, the countrys largest bank by assets, announced that it plans to buy back as much as $15 billion of its stock and raise its quarterly dividend by a nickel to 30 cents per share. JPMorgan said it was acting with the blessing of the Federal Reserve, which was preparing to announce the results of a review to make sure banks have enough cash to withstand a nancial crisis worse than what happened in 2008.

Retail sales rose 1.1 percent in February

By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON Americans stepped up spending on retail goods in February, evidence that a stronger job market is boosting the economy. Consumers bought more autos, clothes and appliances. They also paid higher prices for gas. Retail sales increased 1.1 percent last month, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. It was the biggest gain since September. The government also revised up the previous two months. Some economists noted that the February increase and the revisions could lead to faster economic growth. It could also put pressure on Chairman Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve to rethink its plan to hold interest rates at record lows until at least late 2014.
The Fed is holding a one-day policy meeting Tuesday. We believe that the consumer is in better shape than recent downbeat commentary from Fed Chairman Bernanke, said John Ryding and Conrad DeQuadros, analysts with RDQ Economics, in a note to clients. A separate Commerce report showed U.S. companies restocked at a faster pace in January, a sign that businesses expect stronger job growth to fuel more sales. Business stockpiles rose 0.7 percent in January, while sales increased 0.4 percent. One factor driving the retail sales increase was a 3.3 percent rise in gasoline sales last month. It was the biggest increase in nearly a year and reected a surge in gas prices. Still, retail sales increased a solid 0.8 percent after excluding gas station sales.
Auto sales rose 1.6 percent. Department stores increased 1.5 percent, the largest gain since November 2010. And sales at appliance and electronics stores climbed 1 percent. The February gain pushed total sales to a record $407.8 billion. Thats 20.1 percent higher than the recession low hit in March 2009. The increase comes after the best three months of hiring in two years. The economy has gained 734,000 jobs since December. Thats lowered the unemployment rate to 8.3 percent. Retail sales picked up considerably in January and February, said Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at MFR Inc. The government report reected private data released earlier in the month. U.S. automakers reported having the best annual sales pace in four years in February, despite the surge in gas prices.
Unemployment rates fell in 45 states in Jan.

By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON The unemployment rate fell in 45 U.S. states in January, a sign that nearly all of the country is beneting from an improving economy and job market. The Labor Department said Tuesday that only New York state reported a higher unemployment rate in January than the previous month. Unemployment rates were unchanged in four states. Thats better than December, when rates fell in 37 states, were unchanged in
10 and rose in three. Nationwide, the unemployment rate fell to 8.3 percent in January from 8.5 percent in the previous month. Employers added 284,000 jobs, the second-highest total in six years. Hiring has picked up as the economy has improved. Growth accelerated to a 3 percent annual pace in the nal three months of last year. Thats better than the 1.8 percent pace in the third quarter. Nevada had the nations highest unemployment rate in January, at 12.7 percent, down from 13 percent in the previous month. California and Rhode Island
had the next-highest rates, each with 10.9 percent. North Dakota reported the lowest jobless rate, at 3.2 percent, followed by Nebraska at 4 percent and South Dakota at 4.2 percent. Last month, 37 states reported an increase in total jobs, while 13 states said they lost jobs. The gures are different than the unemployment rates because rates can fall even if a state doesnt add new jobs. Unemployed workers who give up on their job searches, for example, are no longer counted as unemployed, thereby reducing the rate. his unlimited data service. In a letter dated Friday, a law rm retained by AT&T Inc. is threatening to shut off Matthew Spaccarellis phone service if he doesnt sit down to talk. The phone company doesnt say if the settlement would involve money beyond the $850 award the Simi Valley, Calif., resident won from the company in small claims court on Feb. 24. AT&T has about 17 million smartphone customers on unlimited plans, and has started slowing down service for users who hit certain trafc thresholds. Spaccarelli maintained at his Feb. 24 small-claims hearing that AT&T broke its promise to provide unlimited service, and the judge agreed.

And if the early indications are any sign, Schoof may want to hire a secretary. Or at least put the weeks schedule on his outgoing voicemail message. You know, just to save time. Avis is barely in his second week on the baseball eld following a successful stint on the basketball team and hes already making noise on the mound and on the dish. And with
Lately, the phone in Craig Schoofs ofce has been ringing off the hook. And most of the time, its one question that is asked: When is Freddy pitching? Of course, people everywhere want to know when Freddy Avis, stud-ace for the Menlo baseball team, will climb onto the hill and hurl his arsenal of pitches at the opposition.
the annual rivalry game against St. FrancisMountain View on the schedule, there was no question who would take the ball for the Knights. Weve known [Avis would pitch] since theyve scheduled the game, Schoof said. That was the goal, to give Freddy a shot and see how far Freddy can go. I think we felt condent. Obviously we look forward to St. Francis every year as a test to see where we are.
Where Menlo is happens to be a safe and secure place if Avis has the ball. In that game against the Lancers, one of the best teams in the state, No. 7 pitched ve innings of two-run ball and left the game with a 3-2 lead.

is over
By Chris Jenkins
NEWARK It was deja vu all over again for the Serra basketball team. Only this time, it didnt end like it was supposed to. The last time the Padres faced Newark Memorial in the Northern California playoffs, it was 2005. The Padres beat the Cougars in overtime of the seminals on their way to the state championship game. Tuesday, the two teams faced off again, this time on Newarks home court in the Division II seminals. And much like the 2005, the game came down to the wire. Unfortunately for Serra, there was not a repeat performance as Newarks Damien Baneld hit a layup with 1.9 seconds left to give the Cougars a 48-46 win. Give Newark credit, said Serra coach Chuck Rapp. They made one more play than we did. The partisan home crowd exploded when Banelds shot fell through the net and then they rushed the oor, thinking the game was over. But Rapp called a timeout immediately and after the referees conferred with each other, 1.3 seconds was put back on the clock. I told the ref during their (Newarks) last timeout, if they score I wanted a timeout immediately, Rapp said. It was a tall order, however, to ask the Padres to go the length of the court and make a shot. It never even got that far as the Padres inbounds pass was intercepted by the Cougars at half court to end the contest. You gured this would be a dogght, Rapp said. I had a feeling it would come down to the last possession. Credit Newarks Casey Norris for giving the Cougars the chance to win. Norris scored 16

MILWAUKEE The Milwaukee Bucks agreed to trade Andrew Bogut and Stephen Jackson to the Golden State Warriors, a person with direct knowledge of the deal said Tuesday night. The Bucks will receive guard Monta Ellis, forward Ekpe Udoh and center Kwame Brown, the person conrmed to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported the deal on its website Tuesday Monta Ellis night. Speaking before Golden States game at Sacramento, Ellis said he and Udoh were headed back to Oakland. Its not a bad thing, man, Ellis said. Not at all. We are going to another team to do the same thing we love to do. Im riding back home with him. Ellis, whose future has been subject to trade speculation, was reminded that he recently said he wanted to stay with the Warriors long term. Well, everybody says that, Ellis said. But sometimes it (doesnt) always work out like that. The trade represents a parting of ways between the Bucks and Bogut, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 draft who has struggled with injuries. It also allows the Bucks to rid themselves of Jackson, who had fallen out of favor with coach Scott Skiles and now gets to rejoin his former team. The players wont be separated from their respective former teams for very long, as the Warriors host the Bucks on Friday night. Bogut fractured his left ankle Jan. 25 against Houston when he landed awkwardly, and its

Heading into Tuesdays game against Gavilan, the College of San Mateo softball team led the state in wins with 24 and have lost only three times. With 11 freshmen, thats quite an accomplishment. Its been pretty exciting to see a team full of freshmen do what weve done, said CSM
coach Nicole Borg. Weve beaten some pretty good teams. Freshman pitcher Michele Pilster (Capuchino) is a big reason why. Her 15 wins leads the state and she picked up her 100th strikeout over the weekend. She has an ERA of 1.33, having allowed just 26 runs (18 earned) over 94 innings, with 10 complete games. Pilster is just one of four freshmen pitchers Borg is rolling out this season. Amelia Shales (Notre Dame-Belmont) is 7-1 in eight starts
(14 appearances), with a 1.81 ERA. Our freshmen pitching staff has done well. A lot of growth needs to happen there, Borg said. Ive known Michele for so long, so I expected it. My expectations were very high for her. Shes done a great job so far, but I would like to see her strive to be better. While the Bulldogs are loaded with rstyear players, it is the sophomores who are anchoring the offense. Shortstop Lindsay Handy (Hillsdale) is batting .346 and leads the
team with 27 RBI. First baseman/designated hitter Vika Kafoa (Capuchino) carries a .365 batting average and leads the team with ve home runs and has 24 RBI. The freshmen are also doing their part with the bats. Jamie Navarro (Capuchino) is hitting .398 and has driven in 20 runs to go along with four homers. Shes also supplied speed at the top of the lineup, with a team-leading 11 stolen

in California and Stanford. What began with little steps like ending the schools 23-game losing streak early in Bennetts rst year, the rst win in the conference tournament later that season, and a .500 record in year two, has led to far bigger accomplishments at a school that had enjoyed little athletic success since coach Skip Madigans Galloping Gaels were a football powerhouse in the 1920s and 30s. The Gaels have become a legitimate rival to Gonzaga in the WCC and a team that has developed a reputation as a mid-major worth watching by joining Kansas, Duke, Gonzaga and BYU as the only schools to win at least 25 games each of the past ve seasons. It surprises me how consistently successful its been, athletic director Mark Orr said. Its every year. Five straight years of 25-plus win seasons. The continued success has been pretty remarkable. What has made it even more noteworthy is it hasnt been a one-player or one-year phenomenon. Saint Marys broke through to get to the tournament in Bennetts fourth season but no regular on that team was still around when Patty Mills helped the Gaels get back there four years later. When Mills left early for the NBA in 2009, the Gaels were expected to take a step back, but instead got their rst NCAA tournament wins since 1959 and went to the round of 16 behind effervescent big man Omar Samhan. Samhan left and the Gaels won a share of the WCC title for the rst time since 1997. WCC player of the year Mickey McConnell then graduated and Matthew Dellavedova and Rob Jones picked up more of the slack and delivered the regular season and tournament titles this year. We havent been a one-shot wonder, Bennett said. Weve been consistent pretty much over the last eight years. The constants have been a head coach who values stability over seeking whatever higher prole job comes his way, and a pipeline of players from Australia who have teamed with mostly overlooked local recruits to build a winner. And they did it despite an antiquated gym that is overowing when the attendance hits 3,500 and with-

Bennett builds consistent winner at Saint Marys

By Josh Dubow
MORAGA As the banners were unveiled celebrating Saint Marys double conference title to kick off a Selection Sunday celebration, there were more fans on hand at McKeon Pavilion than the Gaels drew for games in coach Randy Bennetts rst season at the school. From two wins in a season to a pair of conference championships in a season. From an empty gym to overowing stands that necessitate a building expansion. Bennett has created a consistent winner in what is widely considered to be one of the best program-building performances in the country. He inherited a 2-27 team with no winning tradition, a small following, and a gym more suited to a high school than a Division I powerhouse and Bennett led the Gaels to ve straight 25-win seasons and four NCAA tournament berths in the past eight years. They beat Gonzaga for the outright regular season and West Coast Conference tournament titles this year, the rst time the Gaels have
held both titles in the same year, and thereby ended a 14-year run where the Bulldogs won at least one conference championship. Finally getRandy Bennett ting to the top, that was a breakthrough, Bennett said. It was hard. Im not saying we conquered it, but we nally got the upper hand for a season. Weve been knocking on the door the last ve years. Somebody had to kick the wall down. It nally happened and it was us. The seventh-seeded Gaels (27-5) open the NCAA tournament on Friday against 10th-seeded Purdue (21-12) in Omaha, Neb., with hopes of making another deep tournament run like the one two years ago that helped establish them on the national stage. The Gaels have managed to accomplish this despite competing in the crowded Bay Area sports scene that includes six major professional teams and two Pac-12 schools
out many of the modern amenities that many schools believe are necessary to attract recruits who are able to win at the Division I level. There are modest plans to expand McKeon Pavilion by 500-600 seats, and build a new training room, weight room and other facilities, but it will never be able to compete on that front with bigger schools. Weve done it by winning, getting on TV, Bennett said. We havent done it with facilities. You can do two things with that. You can say We dont have good enough facilities, so we cant be good. Or you say, Were going to be good and it doesnt matter what our facilities are. We nd guys who believe other factors are more important than if we have a good gym. Bennett is a major reason for that. While coaches on the mid-major level look to cash in success with an immediate promotion to a bigger job, Bennett has stayed for 11 seasons. Orr calls the marriage between Bennett and a family-oriented school where Bennetts two young boys are among scores of children shooting baskets on the court after home games the perfect t.

49ers give CB Perrish Cox a second chance

By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO In two days, the San Francisco 49ers took risks on a pair of players who werent even in the NFL last year. Randy Moss on Monday. Perrish Cox a day later. Cox is getting a fresh start with San Francisco, signing a two-year contract Tuesday after being acquitted on sexual assault charges in Colorado earlier this month. We are pleased to add Perrish to our team, general manager Trent Baalke said. As an organization, from ownership on down, we have done our due diligence and are condent that Perrish will be a positive contributor to the 49ers, as well as our community. San Francisco announced the deal on the rst day of NFL free agency. On Monday, they signed wide receiver Randy Moss after he sat out the 2011 season. Cox was accused of sexually assaulting a woman at his apartment in September 2010
after a night of partying. She became pregnant, and prosecutors said DNA tests indicated Cox was the father. Cox denied having sex with the woman, who testied that she believed she was drugged because she remembers little about what happened. I want to thank everybody for giving me the chance to actually express myself and go out and have dinner with the owner and the GM so they could gure out what kind of guy I am, Cox said. Ive worked hard through this whole process. Like I was telling them, whatever happened, happened, and I took full responsibility for my actions. But it will never happen again, ever again. Im a positive guy, and if I can help in any way, I want to be there to help. The 25-year-old Cox didnt play last year after the Broncos released him at the end of training camp, spending time with his family in Waco, Texas, and working out with his trainer father. A capable defensive back and return man,
Cox made it clear several times during a conference call that he appreciates the opportunity. First off, I never want to be in a position I was in before ever again, Cox said. Thats not me. Im not that type of guy. To prove that, Ill show the community and the coaches and the team what type of guy I am and can be. From here on out, Ill show it. Coxs addition could be a sign the 49ers wont pursue re-signing cornerback Carlos
Rogers, who shared the team lead with six interceptions for the NFC West champions last year. Cox had 57 solo tackles, two forced fumbles and an interception as a rookie in 2010. Playing for current 49ers defensive backs coach Ed Donatell while in Denver, he appeared in 15 games with nine starts and ranked third among 2010 rookies with 14 passes defensed.

Warriors make a trade then Sharks flaming out pull off win against Kings
SACRAMENTO Nate Robinson, David Lee and Brandon Rush all scored 17 points, and the Golden State Warriors shook off the trade of leading scorer Monta Ellis to beat the Sacramento Kings 115-89 on Tuesday night. The Warriors agreed to send Ellis, forward Ekpe Udoh and center Kwame David Lee Brown to Milwaukee for Andrew Bogut and Stephen Jackson, a person with direct knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced. The stunned Warriors then got 15 points from Charles Jenkins, 14 points and 10 rebounds from Dorell Wright, and 14 points from Klay Thompson. Despite the loss of its top scorer and a key reserve, the Warriors pulled away in the second half for an easy victory. Ahead by 11 points after three quarters, Golden State extended it to 21 points by midway through the fourth. DeMarcus Cousins had 19 points and 12 rebounds for the Kings, who lost their second straight home game. Tyreke Evans had 16 points, Isaiah Thomas scored 15 and
Francisco Garcia added 11. It was the fourth of nine straight home games for Sacramento, the longest homestand in franchise history. Drafted out of high school as a secondround pick in 2005 by Golden State, Ellis became one of the NBAs most dangerous open-court players and has averaged 19.6 points in seven seasons. But the Warriors made the playoffs just once with him. Ellis spoke in the visitors locker room before the game and didnt seem upset regarding the trade, which came in the same week he was named the Western Conference Player of the Week. He averaged 20.5 points, 7.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds last week in leading the Warriors to a 3-1 record. Ellis exchanged goodbyes with stunned teammates, then quickly left the arena for the unexpected quick return trip to Oakland with Udoh, who appeared shocked after learning of the trade on a locker room TV. Its not a bad thing, man, Ellis said. Not at all. We are going to another team to do the same thing we love to do. Im riding back home with him (Udoh). The Warriors get a quality center, but also one who is injury prone and may not even play this season. Bogut, picked rst overall by Milwaukee in the 2005 draft, hasnt played since injuring his left ankle in a Jan. 25 game. He has played in only 12 games this year and missed a combined 76 games in the previous three seasons. in the opening period, connecting on just 3 of 13 shots. When Norris scored on a drive to the basket, the Cougars held a 13-5 lead with 3:18 to play in the rst, but back-to-back layups from Caruso and Sal Domanico got the Padres to within four and they trailed 15-9 after one quarter of play. (Not falling apart in the first quarter) showed a lot of resiliency, Rapp said. Things were getting sideways there. The Padres then opened the second quarter with a 9-4 run to close their decit to 19-18. A pair of free throws from Andre Miller got the Padres to within one and then back-to-back 3pointers from Jason Barsocchini gave Serra its rst lead of the game. His rst 3 put the Padres up 23-21 and his second pushed their advantage to 26-21 with 15 seconds left in the half. In a foreshadowing of things to come, Norris drained a 3 of his own with one second left and the Cougars trailed 26-24 at halftime.
CALGARY, Alberta Matt Stajan scored 4:20 into overtime, and Jarome Iginla reached 30 goals as the Calgary Flames beat the San Jose Sharks 3-2 on Tuesday night in a pivotal Western Conference matchup. In the nal minute of overtime, the Flames came in on a 2-on-1 break and executed it perfectly. Blake Comeau sent a pass across to Stajan, who scored his fth of the season into an open side. Sven Baertschi also scored for the Flames (33-25-12), who have won four straight.
Logan Couture scored his 29th and 30th goals for San Jose (34-25-10). Despite having just one win in seven games (1-3-3), the Sharks have moved into eighth place in the Western Conference. Calgary and Colorado are even with the Sharks at 78 points, but San Jose has one game in hand on Calgary and two on the Avalanche. Couture tied it 1:22 into the third period as the Sharks third-ranked power play, after going 0-for-4 through the rst two periods, converted with the extra man.
Manny homers,As get a the win

PHOENIX Manny Ramirez showed he has plenty of pop left in his bat, hitting his rst home run in an Oakland Athletics uniform Tuesday. While that may have been a signicant milestone to some, it wasnt to Ramirez. I know what I can do, the embattled slugger said after helping the As to an 8-6 victory over a Milwaukee Brewers split squad. Ramirez was hitless in the rst eight at-bats of his comeback this spring. He snapped out of that funk with a homer to left-center against right-hander Mike Fiers in the second inning. Ramirez, who has not played in the majors since last April, drew a walk his next time up and then ied out. He had spent the past couThat 3 appeared to wake Norris up as he was unstoppable in the third quarter, scoring all 12 of his teams points. He nished with a game high 23 points. It (just) happened, Norris said. His 3-pointer with 2:19 left in the third gave Newark a 36-32 lead, but the Padres closed the period with a layup from Domanico and a jumper from Caruso to tie the score at 36 heading into the nal eight minutes. The Cougars scored the rst four points on the nal period and maintained a 2- to-4-point cushion for the rst half of the fourth quarter. With the Cougars leading 44-40, Serras Vika Jimenez got the Padres back in the game. He drained a 3 with 2:36 left to cut the Serra decit to 44-43 and another Jimenez 3 gave the Padres a 46-44 advantage with 2:03 to play. It would be Serras last bucket of the night as Norris tied the game at 46 with 58 seconds to play before his drive and pass to Baneld ended it.
ple of days in minor league camp getting extra at-bats. Everyone is playing year-round and Im trying to catch up, Ramirez said. Every time I go (to minor league camp), I love it. If you like to play, you enjoy it because once you dont have it, you dont have it. Ramirez, who turns 40 in May, must serve a 50-game suspension to start the season for a second violation of baseballs drug policy. His new teammate, Yoenis Cespedes, went hitless for the second consecutive game. Cespedes, the Cuban outfielder the As signed to a four-year, $36 million deal, struck out twice and grounded out. Since he homered and had two hits in his Cactus League debut, Cespedes has gone 0 for 6 with three strikeouts. Serra was led by Carusos 12 points, while Barscocchini added 11. [Newark is] fast and deep. They played good defense. They took us out of a lot of things we wanted to do (offensively), Rapp said. [My] kids played their behinds off.

16 of his 23 points in the second half, but it was a Norris pass that gave the Cougars the win. With the game clock winding down, Norris drove to the basket and went up for a shot, only to dish the ball to Baneld underneath. Baneld, who nished with 12 points, scored only two points in the second half they just happened to be the game-winning points. I wanted the ball in that situation, Norris said. I just went at the rim and he (Baneld) was wide open. The game didnt start well for Serra (24-7) as Baneld gave Newark (28-4) a quick 6-0 lead as he converted back-to-back three-point plays.

JC baseball in full swing,Caada has hot bats

Leave it to Mother Nature to slow down the Caada baseball team. Right now, it appears that some rain is about the only thing that could put a bit of a damper on the current tear the Colts enjoy at the moment. Following a 21-6 shelling of Skyline over the weekend, the Colts were rained out of their game against West Valley. Still, Caada stands at 4-1 in the Coast Conference Pacic Division. And as the 21-run output over the weekend indicates, youd be hardpressed to nd another team having better at-bats than the Colts. Consider this, Caada is hitting .284 as a team (3rd in the division) and is the only team in the division with a .400-plus on-base percentage, at .408. To a large part, that number has to do with their 89 walks (22 more than the next best team in the Pacic). The Colts are also rst in home-
runs (14), stolen bases (30), RBI (119), runs (129) and slugging percentage (.420). At the heart of their offensive output has been the play of the heart of their batting order. Zach Turner and Steven Knudson are proving to be a dynamic tandem. The duo is near the top of the Pacic Division in the three Triple Crown categories. Turner is hitting .364 (5th in division), with ve homeruns (1st) and 31 RBI (1st) and a .1167 OPS. Knudson numbers read .403 (3rd), ve homeruns (1st) and 22 RBI (2nd) with a .1210 OPS. Turner and Knudson are cleaning up what is set up by the efforts of players like Eren Miravalles (eight steals), Alex Sortwell (.415 OBP), Peter Woodall (.517 OBP) and Nick McHugh (.469 OBP). On the mound, Caada has received a formidable effort by their starting pitchers. The staff as a whole has given up only a pair of homeruns. Pierce Precht is leading the
charge. The lefthanders 2.15 ERA over 29 1-3 innings of work leads the Colts. Gregory Hansen has been the workhorse with 38 2-3 innings of ball. He leads the team with 22 strikeouts. Peter Casey has a pair of wins. On the other side of the spectrum though is the team from Skyline College, who, based on the numbers, cant seem to get anything going offensively. The Trojans and their 3-14 record rank last in a lot of major offensively categories. As a team, Skyline is hitting .241 and have scored a division-low 65 runs. As a team, they have no homeruns and the second most strikeouts with 108 (behind only Caada at 128). Theyre also last in on-base percentage at .291. Corey Faubel has been a bright spot though. Hes hitting .347 with a .419 on-base percentage and is slugging .428 for the year. Down in San Mateo, the CSM baseball team nds itself in a familar spot atop the Coast
Conference Golden Gate Division standings with a 3-1 mark, although the Bulldogs dropped their rst conference game of the season over the weekend, a 7-2 decision to Chabot-Hayward. Theyre a well-balanced team, said CSM manager Doug Williams. We certainly didnt play our best game and were looking forward to the next time we play them. Its a big week for the Bulldogs. In addition to a meeting with division foe Mission, they take on county rivals Skyline and Caada the only time they will face both the Trojans and Colts, who play in the Coast Conferences Pacific Division. Williams said he is not placing any more importance on playing traditional rivals than he would any other team. They all count, but Im not looking at any one game as any more important than another, Williams said. Were certainly looking at a way to nd our most consistent game. At times, we pitched well. At
times, weve played pretty outstanding defense. Offensively, weve just been OK, a little bit lower than our expectations. If we start clicking on that cylinder, well be a lot better. Despite being tied for the Golden Gate Division lead, the Bulldogs have a modest, by their standards, overall record of 10-7. Williams chalks that up to the fact the Bulldogs have played a tough nonconference schedule and in those games, the opposition is usually sending its best pitcher to the mound. (Our overall record is) certainly not terribly surprising because weve faced a lot of good pitching. Most of the pitchers weve seen have been [their aces]. Theres been some good arms out there and we have a tendency to face them, Williams said. I think that results in, hopefully, playing a little better in the second half of the season.
Staff reporter Nathan Mollat contributed to this report. he was traded, Volstad said, Yeah, thats what I hear. I still can get upset if things dont go my way. When that happens, you still have to make pitches and move on as best you can. The 25-year-old Volstad pitched a combined 499 2-3 innings over the last three seasons, going 26-35.
Sports brief
Volstad again pitches well for Cubs in win over SF.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. The sizzle of Carlos Zambrano nally zzled in Chicago, and that caused the
Cubs to try to nd another starting pitcher. Enter Chris Volstad, acquired in a trade with the Miami Marlins in January for the more temperamental right-hander. Volstad describes himself as a laidback guy who digs time on the beach back home in Florida and likes to dig
his cleats into the mound and let the ball y. From early indications this spring, the 6-foot-8 Volstad is tting in nicely with the Cubs. On Tuesday, for the second time in as many spring starts, Volstad pitched three shutout innings and started a two-run inning by leading off the third with a single. The Cubs
went on to hold off the San Francisco Giants 5-4. I felt good out there, Volstad said. I was able to attack down in the zone, pound the strike zone, get ahead of guys and to let the sinker work for me. Told that his demeanor appears to be the opposite of the man for whom

comes with being one of the best and most watched pitchers in the section wont be an issue for Avis. And with a scholarship to Stanford already in hand, No. 7 has turned his attention to leading the Knights back to the Promised Land. Hes really a team rst guy and his whole focus is really on 3-peating and giving us a chance to win the third CCS (title) in a row, Schoof said. He really is. Hes a team guy. Hes not really worried about himself, and rightfully so, next year is taken care of, he knows where hes going and what hes going to do. We will go as far as he leads us, offensively and defensively. The hype surrounding Avis is warranted. And according to Schoof, No. 7 had taken even bigger strides to improve his overall game. With that, and a pair of CCS titles to his name already, what everyone will be watching, will be how Avis handles the expectations. So far, so great. What Ive told him, and its kind of the same thing I told Kenny (Diekroeger) three for much of last season. Bogut also missed signicant time with an injured lower back in the 2008-09 season. When Bogut has played, he has played well. In 408 career games, he is averaging 12.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocked shots. The Bucks struggled in February without Bogut, but have won four of their last ve to chase down the struggling New York Knicks in a race for what would be the No. 8 playoff seed in the Eastern Conference. Jackson, meanwhile, hasnt played since Feb. 19, recently sitting out with what the team has described as a hamstring injury. Skiles benched him for a game in January It was very disappointing. De Anza did a good job and they outplayed us. We had four big errors. I dont like to get outplayed. The Bulldogs have since rebounded from that loss Dons and have won three straight over Coast Conference foes all in convincing fashion. They beat Mission and Chabot by a combined score of 31-1 and followed that win a 9-1 win over Marin. If we play our best, were better than a lot of teams were going up against, Borg said. But all of our tools and all of our weapons have to be ring on all cylinders. years ago: Enjoy this. Not many people get to have this attention and everything like that. I rmly believe pressure comes from within its not from outside its how you handle it. The team voted him team captain. He comes out every day. Theres no prima donna in him. No one works harder than him at practice. Hes a great leader. Hes the rst to get there and the last to leave. Schoof said Avis transition from the basketball court to the diamond was smoother this year. As such, Avis has picked up right where he left off and his game, on the mound and at the dish, is picking up steam. Offensively, Avis had three hits against Mountain View. Against the Lancers, he was 1 for 3 with a double. Dont discount him swinging the bat at the next level, Schoof said. Hes got the bat speed and the athletic ability to do it. Hell bust out in two of three weeks and really hit his stride.

The deal brings the enigmatic Captain Jack back to the Bay Area. He helped lead the teams only playoff run since 1994, a surprising trip to the second round in 2007. In October 2009, the disgruntled Golden State star asked to relinquish his captain title during a meeting with then-Warriors coach Don Nelson and general manager Larry Riley. He was traded to Charlotte the next month. Ellis has been the Warriors main offensive threat, averaging 21.9 points. 174 feet, 2 inches which ranks as the second-best throw in Northern California and the third-best in the state this season. The throw improved his personal best by 20 feet. His previous best was 154 feet. He had some pretty good throws in that range against American River, but he fouled, Mangan said. In practice, he has been looking pretty good. Hes getting his technique down and is working out the rough edges. I dont think this is a one-day thing. Uikili is also having a strong season in the shot put, with a No. 3 ranking in the state with a mark of 50-11. He is behind teammate Evan McDaniel, who is ranked No. 2 with a distance of 52-1 3/4. McDaniel is also ranked No. 8 in the discus, with a distance of 156-7. Teammate Nate Wright is ranked No. 6, with a mark 11 inches further. In the javelin, McDaniel is ranked No. 9 with a throw of 169-9. Zeke Edwards (Sequoia) is ranked No. 18, with a season-best throw of 161-6. I expect McDaniel to get better. I think he still has a lot of growth. I expect Nate Wright

Ellis signed a six-year, $66 million contract in July 2008, then injured his left ankle in August in a low-speed mo-ped crash an offseason activity prohibited in his deal as is a standard provision for contracts around the league.

Hes coming back from being sick two years ago. Zeke is still working some of the rust off, Mangan said. In the sprints, CSM won ve of the 10 heats contested in Modesto. Damien Ross won his heat with a time of 11.10 and helped the 4x100 relay team to a third-place nish in a time of 42.22 which is the sixth-best time in Northern California this year and the sixthbest time in school history. In 300 intermediate hurdles, Roman Skovronski is ranked No. 4 in Nor Cal with a time of 55.81. On the womens side, Nikki Uikili (Mills) continues to be one of the best throwers in Northern California. The defending Nor Cal javelin champion, she improved her mark to 133-11, which is the best throw in Nor Cal this year. Its nearly ve feet better than her personal best, which she set last season.

The Bulldogs are already a game behind nemesis Ohlone College in the Coast Conference standings. Of CSMs three losses, one came to De Anza in the Coast Conference opener Feb. 21. Borg said her focus is always on winning the conference and now the Bulldogs can ill afford another stumble as their nal 13 games are all in conference play. They get their rst crack at Ohlone Saturday in Fremont. You never want to go out in conference and on your rst try, lose. Ultimately, you can only afford one loss if you want to win conference. We get one loss and we wasted it on our rst try, Borg said. [The loss to De Anza] was just a bad day all the way around.

Barack Obama warns China against skirting the rules

By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama warned China Tuesday that it would not be allowed to gain a competitive advantage in world trade by skirting the rules. Making an election-year pitch to American workers, and businesses as well, Obama announced Washington has brought a new trade case against Beijing. The goal is to pressure China, a rising Asian economic power, to end its restrictions on exports of key materials used to manufacture hybrid car batteries, at screen televisions and other high tech-goods. If China would simply let the market work on its own, wed have no objection, Obama said during remarks in the White House Rose Garden. But their policies currently are preventing that from happening. And they go against the very rules that China agreed to follow. The U.S., working in conjunction with the European Union and Japan, asked the World Trade Organization Tuesday to facilitate talks with China over its curtailment of exports of whats known as rare earth minerals. Obama cast the fresh action against China as part of a broader push to level the playing eld for U.S. companies. When it is necessary, I will take action if
our workers and our businesses are being subjected to unfair practices, Obama said. With the U.S economy slowly recovering from recession, Obama has sought to bring a renewed focus on Chinese policies that could hinder U.S. Barack Obama expansion. He used an executive order last month to create a new trade enforcement agency the Interagency Trade Enforcement Center to move aggressively against China and other nations. Obamas posture on China has already surfaced as an election-year issue, with Republican front-runner Mitt Romney criticizing him for refusing so far to cite China for manipulating its currency. Romney has said he would label China a currency manipulator on his rst day in ofce, a move that could lead to trade sanctions against Beijing. The White House insisted that Tuesdays announcement was not intended to be a counter to Republican criticism. The presidents commitment on this has been evident from the very beginning, and this is simply part of that effort, White House spokesman Jay Carney said.

BEIRUT The Syrian army has recaptured most of the northern rebel stronghold of Idlib near the Turkish border, pushing hundreds of military defectors out of a major base they had held for months even as pockets of resistance kept up their ght on Tuesday. The three-day operation to capture the city followed closely after a similar offensive to dislodge the opposition from another key piece of territory it had controlled, the Baba Amr district in central Homs. The two victories gave President Bashar Assads regime unmistakable momentum as it tries to crush the armed opposition ghters. A pledge Tuesday from Syrias staunch ally Russia that Moscow will continue selling weapons to the regime was yet another boost.
And a diplomatic bid by U.N. envoy Ko Annan to broker a cease-re and start negotiations failed over the weekend. Still, international pressure is more intense than ever, with the U.S. considering military options. On Tuesday, the Arab League chief said the regimes killing of civilians amounts to crimes against humanity and he called for an international inquiry. Activists reported fresh violence in central province of Hama near Homs, the suburbs of Damascus and elsewhere, killing dozens. New York-based Human Rights Watch said troops have planted land mines near its borders with Turkey and Lebanon along routes used by people eeing the violence and trying to reach safety in neighboring countries. HRW said its report was based on accounts from witnesses and Syrian deminers and that the land mines have already caused civilian casualties.

In Seattle,plans for a harvestable food forest

SEATTLE A plot of grass sits in the middle of Seattle, feet from a busy road and on a hill that overlooks the citys skyline. But its no ordinary patch of green. Residents hope it will become one of the countrys largest food forests. The park, which will start at 2 acres and grow to 7, will offer city dwellers a chance to pick apples, plums and other crops right from the branch. I think its a great opportunity for the people of Seattle to be able to connect to the environment, said Maureen Erbe, who walked her two dogs next to the plot on a recent overcast day. Would she pluck some fruits from the forest? Heck yes, I love a good blueberry. Youre not from Seattle if you dont like a good blueberry, she said. For health-conscious and locallygrown-food-loving Seattle, the park is a new step into urban agriculture. Cities
You know you like your cup of Joe in the morning. But are you ready for a cup of Hugh? We are, of course, talking about actor Hugh Jackman, who recently launched a coffee and tea company that raises money for charity. Philanthropy is the driving force behind Jackmans involvement in the coffee world. In a telephone interview he talked about being inspired by the late Paul Newman and his company, Newmans Own, which has donated millions to charity. But its not the only reason. The other factor? Taste. Hey, Im a coffee snob, says Jackman, who could drink coffee all day, because I just love it, but limits himself to one or two cups. If Im buying it, I want a great cup of coffee. If you can have a great cup of coffee and the prots of that company are actually going back to different charities, I think its a win-win for everybody. Jackmans interest in creating a coffee company was sparked during a tour he took as an ambassador for World Vision, an organization that works with children and families. In Ethiopia, he met Dukale, a local coffee farmer, and was struck by how hard he worked to look after his family, and by how a little help could make a big difference in the lives of coffee farmers. In a piece of synchronicity, he discovered that a friend, Barry Steingard, who has 25 years experience in the coffee and restaurant industry, was planning on getting back in the coffee business. I said, Well, do you need a partner? said Jackman. So far Laughing Man Coffee & Tea chocolates were also recently added is the rst subsidiary under Jackmans umbrella company, Laughing Man Worldwide. The way it works is 50 percent of the subsidiary prots go to the parent company, which then donates 100 percent of its prots. Educational initiatives are the focus of the coffee company,

prospects, Zandi said. I would do exactly what the Fed is doing. I would keep all of my options open. Things could go badly wrong. Some Fed-watchers note that Chairman Ben Bernanke needs to be cautious. Better for him to have underestimated the economys strength than to have overestimated it. Bernanke can always point later to the Feds low-rate policies as having worked better than even he expected. Most of all, the Fed doesnt want to withdraw its help for the economy prematurely The Fed is lagging behind the better economic news, said David Jones, chief economist at DMJ Advisors and the author of several books on the central bank. They are erring on the side of being too pessimistic to be sure that they are providing sufcient support for the economy. At the same time, Jones said that if the strengthening economy were to ignite runaway ination, the Fed might have to raise rates much sooner than late 2014 to cool growth. Doing so might fan criticism of the Fed, he said. It could also cause interest rates to jump and stock prices to fall. The Fed has almost promised us zero rates through 2014, Jones said. But if the Fed has to tighten before late 2014, their credibility will be hurt. In the meantime, the economy is growing stronger. In its statement after Tuesdays meeting, the Fed policymakers did caution that rising oil and borhoods. Next to it is a sports park, a driving range and a lawn bowling club. The food forest would be next to a heavily used road and near many apartment complexes. Seattle gets the big picture and so the focus on local food actions is a collaborative one, said Laura Raymond of the citys community garden program. The department has allocated $100,000 for the rst phase of the park, roughly a 2-acre plot. The land is owned by the citys utility and through an inter-agency agreement will be developed at no land cost. Raymond said the city hasnt veried it, but Leonardo DiCaprio is partnering with the La Colombe Torrefaction coffee company to create a special blend, LYON, with net prots earmarked for environmental projects supported by the actors foundation. Meanwhile, Newmans daughter, Nell Newman, partnered with Vermonts Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. to source, roast, package and distribute fair trade organic coffee under the Newmans Own Organics gas prices will raise ination temporarily. But they said longer-term ination should remain stable repeating a view Bernanke expressed earlier this month. The statement was approved on a 9-1 vote. Richmond Fed President Jeffrey M. Lacker dissented for the second straight meeting. The statement said Lacker doesnt anticipate that economic conditions are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate through late 2014. Most economists say any further steps by the Fed, such as another bond buying program to try to drive interest rates even lower to boost the economy, arent likely soon. It would be hard for the Fed to justify more bond-buying now, Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said in a note to clients. Despite the brightening prospects, unemployment remains historically high something Bernanke mentioned in testimony to Congress last month, when he said, The job market remains far from normal. Bernanke also said consumer spending and condence remain less than healthy, inationadjusted pay gains are low and credit is still tight for many. As long as they are, Bernanke suggested, unemployment might not fall much further. Low interest rates are intended to encourage consumers and businesses to borrow and spend more. the forest might become the biggest one in the country. Glenn Herlihy, who helped create the parks initial designs, believes it can grow to that size. Herlihy studies permaculture, a land management technique that aims to develop gardens modeled on natural ecosystems that means natural fertilization that comes with decaying vegetation and a variety of plants in one plot. Unlike orchards, which only have one type of tree or shrub, a food forest has many types. Developers use edible trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals. Fruit and nut trees are on label. Green Mountain allocates at least 5 percent of pre-tax prots to social and environmental projects in the communities where it does business. Celebrity coffees are just a fraction of the overall market. Still, the trend of celebrities working with high-quality roasters to make coffee for a cause can only be a good thing, says Miles Small, owner and editor-in-chief of CoffeeTalk magazine, based in Vashon, Wash. Coffee is, and has always been an instrumental tool in bringing disparate folks together for a common cause, he said. Buying celebrity coffee with a donation element helps toward achieving the charitable goals of the celebrity and also helps the over 25 million families worldwide whose survival is dependent on the growing of this not so simple bev-

ECONOMY
nier view than it did in January, when it announced a plan to hold short-term rates near zero through 2014 to help the economy. Since then, a stream of reports has pointed to a steadily strengthening economy. Employers have added more than a half million jobs. Retail spending has picked up. Even the housing market is stirring. Yet few expect the Fed to drop its plan to keep short-term rates near zero for nearly three more years. Not anytime soon. A pullback from that timetable could jolt investors. As long as ination stays tame, analysts say, the Fed will likely decide to hold rates down if it feels theyre still helping the economy. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moodys Analytics, said the core question for the Fed isnt whether the economy is strengthening. Rather, it must decide whether the gains might falter, as they have at times since the recession ended in June 2009. For now, the Fed isnt announcing any new steps to boost the economy. But it isnt ruling them out, either. Despite the better economic numbers, the Fed remains very nervous about the economys
Among improvments
Hiring has brightened.Two jobs reports issued since the Feds January meeting have been blowouts: Employers added 284,000 jobs in January and 227,000 in February.The unemployment rate has declined to 8.3 percent. The Fed had said in late January that unemployment would likely be 8.2 percent to 8.5 percent by years end, a forecast that already looks too high. Fewer people are being laid off.Weekly applications for unemployment benets have declined for six months.The four-week average of applications is near a four-year low.That suggests that the job gains will continue. Growth in the economys service sector has accelerated. An index of service-sector activity, covering retailers, hotels and restaurants and information technology companies, has risen twice since the Feds January meeting. The economy is growing faster,and incomes are up. The government said last month that the economy expanded at an annual rate of 3 percent in the nal three months of last year, much better than in the previous quarter. It also said incomes rose more in the second half of last year than previously thought. That means more money to spend. Consumers are more condent and spending more. Consumer condence rose last month to its highest level in a year.And retail sales jumped 1.1 percent in February, the biggest increase since September. Figures for the previous two months were revised higher. Even homebuilders are more optimistic. An index of homebuilder sentiment rose for the fth straight month in February to its highest level since May 2007. Builders are becoming more hopeful as they see more prospective home buyers looking at homes.

When a group of people interested in sustainable gardening brought the idea of a food forest for the Beacon Hill neighborhood to city ofcials in 2010, the city-volunteer effort began. That year, city ofcials had declared it the year of urban agriculture. The plot is in one of the citys oldest neigh-
the upper level, while berry shrubs, edible perennials and annuals are on the lower levels. Plants to attract insects are also planted for natural pest management. All of these plants work together like a forest ecosystem, but they are edible, Herlihy said. In Pittsburgh, a food forest a quarter of an acre big is in its second year of existence. So far, only a berry bush and a pear tree have yielded fruits. We tell people its not a food forest, its aspiring to be a food forest, said organizer Juliette Jones. erage called coffee. In some ways, the coffee-celebrity connection seems a natural. Who hasnt seen umpteen paparazzi shots of stars clutching their Starbucks? But Jackman laughs when asked if Hollywood has a corner on caffeine. Coffee is the world over, he said. Its one of the oldest products known to man and its one of the greatest crops ever. Traditionally, coffee is part of ritual and part of unity and community. In Ethiopia, the families Jackman met roasted, ground, brewed and drank coffee together. Its all part of community and being together, he said. I think its kind of a great product and underlines what our company is about.

Pittsburgh distillery will host whiskey tastings

By Kevin Begos
A healthy vegetable casserole

By Alison Ladman
PITTSBURGH Youve probably heard of wine tastings. Now, whiskey tastings are legal in Pennsylvania too. A new state law allows small distilleries to give samples to visitors and sell bottles of their spirits directly to the public. Thats big news for Wigle Whiskey in Pittsburgh, which opened to the public on Friday. The distillery is named after Philip Wigle, who burned down the home of a federal tax collector in the 1790s and helped lead the Whiskey Rebellion, a major test of George Washingtons presidency. The rebels objected to one of the rst federal taxes on distilled spirits. Revenue from the taxes was meant to provide the poor and weak national government with funds to pay off debts from the Revolutionary War. This guy, Philip Wigle, was almost hung here 200 years ago because he wanted to make a little whiskey, said Eric Meyer, one of an extended clan thats trying to bring back what was once a ourishing Pennsylvania tradition. Wigle is one of just ve active distilleries in the state, according to federal data and Meyer. We were Kentucky before Kentucky, said Meyer, 31, who notes that the famed Jim Beam family was originally from Pennsylvania. After Washington raised an army to put down the Whiskey Rebellion, part of the peacemaking process was Kentuckys offer of 60 acres of free land for any family willing to move west, and grow corn. Meyer said many small distillers took the offer, and started brewing with the new crop. Washington eventually gave an ofcial pardon to Wigle, who had been charged with treason. Mary Ellen Meyer said the idea for a distillery came after the family visited a winery in Canada. She recalled their adult children saying, We could do something like this, but they didnt want to do wine. On the long drive home the family researched possibilities on their mobile devices, and learned that white whiskey can be bottled and sold immediately after distilling. Brown, or aged whiskey, sometimes sits in barrels for years before bottling. When they got home the children said, White whiskey. Thats what weve got to make, she recalls. The family spent months looking for a suitable space and nally found one in Pittsburghs Strip District, known for its food markets. We wanted something very light and open and friendly for the public, she said, of the architect-designed space that features modern xtures and exposed steel beams, and a room with tables and chairs.
Get your Passover Seder off to a healthy start with a avorful root vegetable casserole. We seasoned it with citrus and herbs and added a crumb topping. In keeping with the kosher for Passover rules, we used crushed matzo in place of the more traditional breadcrumb topping that goes with casseroles. Just a touch of oil helps to keep it crunchy. We kept the vegetables moist with applesauce. If you dont have homemade applesauce, be sure to select a brand that is unsweetened. Not only will it be more nutritious, but many varieties of applesauce are sweetened with corn syrup, which is not kosher.

Kumquats:What they are and how to use them

Visually, they resemble diminutive oranges. But they technically arent citrus. And unlike oranges, it is the thin skin that is sweet, while the esh is sour. You probably wont nd bushels of them at the grocer, but most stores will have a few pints (they usually are sold in the same containers as cherry tomatoes) tucked away among the strange produce offerings. And they are worth looking for. Heres why: In a tiny (about the size of a large olive), bright orange package, kumquats pack a puckeringly intense sweet-tart avor that complements both sweet and savory dishes. They also make a mean cocktail. Kumquats, which originated in China, are eaten whole as in, skin and all. The seeds can be chomped, too. But thats a matter of taste. I prefer to slice the kumquats in half and use the tip of the knife to pop out the seeds (its easy). The halves are amazing drizzled with or dunked in a bit of honey. Dont bother juicing them. Because the sweetness resides in the skin, youll be disappointed. Better is to
heres really no way around it. Kumquats are an odd little fruit.

halve and seed one, then blend it into your smoothie. In general, the intensity of these avor bombs means a little goes a long way. Kumquats should be rm, but tender. They can be stored at room temperature for several days (their avor is best at this temperature), or refrigerated for two

Kumquat and Red Onion Salsa on Baked Haddock

Start to nish: 25 minutes Servings: 4 2 eggs 1 tablespoon all-purpose our 1 cup panko breadcrumbs 1 teaspoon salt 1 1/4 pounds haddock llets, divided into 4 pieces 1 medium red onion, quartered 1/2 jalapeno pepper (with seeds if you like it hot) 2 cloves garlic 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro 1 pint kumquats, halved and seeded 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon lemon juice Salt and ground black pepper Heat the oven to 400 F. Coat a rimmed baking
to three weeks. If you try kumquats fresh and nd the skin is too tough, dunk them in boiling water for about 20 seconds, then place them in ice water to cool. Oh, and the funny name? It comes from the Cantonese kin ku, which means golden orange. For more ideas for using kumquats, check out the Off the Beaten Aisle column over on Food
sheet with cooking spray. In a wide, shallow bowl or pie pan, whisk together the eggs and our. In a second similar bowl or pan, mix the breadcrumbs and salt. One piece at a time, dip the haddock in the egg blend, turning to coat all sides, then dredge through the breadcrumbs, patting them on to cover evenly. Arrange the haddock on the prepared baking sheet. Spritz the tops of the sh with cooking spray. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the sh akes easily. Meanwhile, in a food processor combine the onion, jalapeno and garlic. Process until chopped. Add the cilantro and kumquats, then pulse to chop. Transfer the kumquat mixture to a medium bowl. Stir in the olive oil, honey and lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Serve the haddock topped with the salsa.

Adler will nish out Huenings term and be eligible for re-election that is, if the position is still elected. Horsley and Groom agreed to serve on a subcommittee with the county counsel to look at asking voters to change the county charter so that the controller position is always appointed rather than elected. Horsley also suggested having safeguards in place like a nite term to prevent the position from losing its independence. A charter review committee previously considered such a recommendation but ultimately refrained from asking the Board of Supervisors to move the idea before voters.

ADLER
who joined the county in 1995 and was named assistant controller in 1998. The controller, essentially the countys top scal ofcer, is an elected position but the county charter allows the board to ll vacancies through either an election or appointment. The board previously delayed a decision until Jacobs Gibson returned from medical leave to participate in a vote. Taken together, the board would have been unable to place the controller election on the June primary ballot so the only options other than appointment by the end of April was a pricey special election or waiting until November. A controller election in the fall would cost approximately $40,000. Lisa Conrad, speaking on behalf of the countys League of Women Voters chapters, urged the board to choose an appointment because to call a special election would be of an incredible expense to the county and voter turnout is likely to be low. Conrad said the controller position is particularly critical in the wake of the state disbanding the redevelopment agencies, a point the board revisited in choosing to pick Adler outright.

Jacobs Gibson worried that if the board held a public interview and consideration process but opted for an internal candidate like Adler anyway, the public would accuse the board of being disingenuous. Pine agreed there was that danger but between the two evils of public perception and not having a completely open process he preferred the latter. This is a situation where youre damned if you do, damned if you dont, Pine said. But Tissier suggested the current economic times in particular calls for someone with institutional knowledge and experience now. By law, the controller must meet at least one of several criteria: be a certied authoritys business plan. Cost to electrify the Caltrain corridor is estimated to be about $1.5 billion with local sales tax revenue needed to match the $750 million being sought from the rail authority, Hill said yesterday. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission is expected to release a plan soon that will detail how local sales tax money can be used to fund the capital project. Caltrain is governed by a joint powers board made up of ofcials from San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. The MTC is the regional transportation agency that oversees public capital projects throughout the Bay Area. The MTC has provided the funding the past two years that has helped Caltrain keep its full schedule of service despite facing a nearly $30 million annual structural decit. An electried Caltrain corridor would increase ridership and revenue that would free up money for other transit agencies in the Bay Area to upgrade their systems, Hill said yesterday. San Mateo councilmen Jack Matthews and Robert Ross and Redwood City Councilwoman Rosanne Foust joined Hill at a press conference yesterday morning where he spelled out how funding electrification of Caltrain early would benet the overall statewide project.

He is set to earn a degree in psychology and intends to go to graduate school. In the meantime, he is looking for entry-level work with a local company. Employers at yesterdays boot camp, however, were not particularly looking to hire psychologists, he said. Many employers were seeking customer service representatives work he is not opposed to doing, OConnor said. Looking for work in this economy is extremely competitive. The job market is improving with unemployment down to its lowest level in four years. I believe the high number of employers looking to hire is a sign that the job market is nally coming around. My goal ... is to keep the momentum going by having job seekers identify their unique skills and matching them with employers who are seeking those skills, Speier said.

will benet the local transit agencies rst before the overall high-speed rail project is completed. The early investment could get the Caltrain corridor electried by 2019, more than a decade before the rail authoritys current business plan goal. The rail authority is set to release an updated business plan later this month that is expected to offer support for a blended system approach on the Peninsula, that would keep the Caltrain corridor an essentially two-track system with about nine miles of passing tracks to be built so high-speed trains can pass the local commuter trains. Early designs of the local project showed a mostly four-track aerial structure from San Francisco to San Jose that faced erce opposition from detractors up and down the Peninsula. Last month, Caltrain sent a letter to the rail authority saying it will only support the blended system idea that was rst proposed by state Sen. Joe Simitian, DPalo Alto, Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, and U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, early last year. Hill said yesterday that the four-track proposal should be taken out of the rail
San Mateo ofcials have made it clear a four-track aerial structure will not work in downtown because the corridor is so narrow. Foust, president and CEO of the San Mateo County Economic Development Association, has touted local job creation as a benet of the project. She is also married to Jim Hartnett who joined the board of the California High-Speed Rail Authority in recent months. Last night, Hartnett spoke at a Senate information hearing on high-speed rails new business plan convened in Mountain View by Simitian and attended by Dan Richard, the new chair of the rail authority board. There are some critical decisions being made on the project soon, Hill said yesterday. It is time for the public to be heard and get involved. The switch to electric power would allow Caltrain to run faster and more frequent trains, increasing ridership, Hill said. Electried trains will be quieter than current diesel trains and will reduce emissions by 90 percent, Hill shouted as a diesel train roared into the downtown San Mateo Caltrain station during the press conference.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal 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 objection of 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 11, 2012 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 petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. 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 DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: David T. Hornsby, SB# 162065 Del Beccaro, Hornsby & Blake 800 S.

Afghan villagers recount weekend shooting rampage

By Mirwais Khan and Deb Riechhann
BALANDI, Afghanistan As bullets flew, the Afghan woman scooped up her 3-year-old niece and ran for their lives. Moments later, the woman was dead and the girl lay bleeding from a gunshot wound. It was the closing scene of a massacre that left 16 civilians, including nine children, dead in two villages in southern Kandahar province. The U.S. is holding an Army staff sergeant that military ofcials say slipped off a U.S. base before dawn Sunday, walked to the villages, barged into their homes and opened fire. Some of the corpses were burned. Eleven were from one family. Five other people were wounded. The military said Tuesday there was probable cause to continue holding the soldier, who has not been named, in custody. U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has said he could face capital punishment. Villagers angry at foreign troops, frustrated with their government and tired of war recounted the tragedy to a delegation sent to the scene by President Hamid Karzai. Two who lost relatives

insisted that not one but at least two soldiers took part in the shootings. President Barack Obama pledged a thorough investigation, saying the U.S. was taking the case as seriously as if it was our own citizens, and our children, who were murdered. In Afghanistans rst signicant demonstration since the killings, protesters in the east burned an efgy of Obama as well as a cross, which they used as a symbol of people like many Americans who are Christians. The also called for the death of the soldier who has been accused. On Tuesday, there was even more gunfire in Balandi, the village where 12 civilians were killed. Taliban insurgents opened fire from behind some trees at members of the delegation, including two of Karzais brothers. One Afghan soldier died of a gunshot wound to the head, while Afghan security forces returning re killed three militants. Delegation members escaped unharmed.
WASHINGTON The Obama administration is only beginning to calculate the pace of troop withdrawals from Afghanistan beyond this summer, facing an endgame fraught with political risk and complicated by shocking setbacks like the alleged U.S. slaughter of Afghan civilians. At stake is not only President Barack Obamas pledge to prevent Afghanistan from reverting to the terrorist haven it was before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, but also his commitment to wind down the war while crafting a long-term security relationship with the Afghans. U.S. military commanders want to keep as many troops in the country as possible until the Dec. 31, 2014, target date for having all combat forces out. They fear a too-rapid pullout would risk surrendering the security gains they have made in recent years. But the White House faces the prospect of intensifying political
pressure to end the military mission, especially after events such as the burning of Muslim holy books by U.S. troops last month that triggered a wave of Afghan violence, including the killings of at least six U.S. troops by Afghan troops. Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., a top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, is among those calling for a faster withdrawal. It is time to bring our troops home, and, while the president has laid out a responsible path to do so, we should continue to look for every opportunity to accelerate our timeline, Smith wrote in an opinion piece in USA Today. Troop-cut planning is a product of complex calculations of the number and kinds of forces that are expected to be required in areas of Afghanistan with varying degrees of security and political weaknesses. For example, it has already been decided that as many as 10,000 Marines will come out of Helmand province by September, reecting vastly improved security in a former Taliban stronghold.
