U.N.CHIEF WARNS SYRIA CRISIS IS INTENSIFYING

The San Carlos City Council
should overturn an earlier approval
to expand a downtown nightclub
with music and food, according to
city staff who say they cannot
assure the community that the plan
will not be a safety hazard or detri-
mental to public peace and wel-
fare.
The City Council Monday night
will reconsider, at its own request,
the Planning Commissions 4-1
approval of a conditional use permit
for the Carlos Club. Owner Fred
Duncan wants to remake an empty
parking lot behind the 612 El
Camino Real club into an open air
walled-in patio with a food trailer,
live acoustic music and seating for
96 patrons.
In a staff report to the council,
Community Development Director
Al Savay concluded that club man-
agement and security might be able
to control activity on site but not
necessarily customers when they
leave. The potential impacts range
from nuisance, health, safety to
potentially life threatening, Savay
wrote, citing examples like public
urination, ghting, vandalism and
driving while intoxicated.
Savays memo asks the council to
look at the broader picture beyond
the club itself and said the permit
could set a precedent for other busi-
nesses with similar liquor licenses
that wish to expand, exponentially
increasing potential impacts. Savay
also referenced the LimeLight, a

Pilot turns back after
snake pops out of dashboard
CANBERRA, Australia An
Australian pilot said he was forced to
make a harrowing landing reminiscent
of a Hollywood thriller after a snake
popped out from behind his dashboard
and slithered across his leg during a
solo cargo flight.
Braden Blennerhassett unsure
whether the snake was venomous
said Thursday that his heart raced as he
tried to keep his hands still while
maneuvering the plane back to the
northern city of Darwin. The snake
popped its head out from behind the
instrument panel several times,
Blennerhassett said, and then the ordeal
worsened when the animal crawled
across his leg during the approach to
the airport.
Ive seen it on a movie once, but
never in an airplane, Blennerhassett
told Australian Broadcasting Corp.,
referring to the 2006 movie Snakes on
a Plane, in which deadly snakes are
deliberately released in an airliner as
part of a murder plot.
The 26-year-old Air Frontier pilot
was alone in a twin-engine Beechcraft
Baron G58 and had just left Darwin air-
port on a cargo run to a remote Outback
Aboriginal settlement when he saw the
snake on Tuesday.
Air Frontier director Geoff Hunt
described Blennerhassett as a cool
character who radioed air traffic con-
trol to report: Im going to have to
return to Darwin. Ive got a snake on
board the plane.
But Blennerhassett admits he was
shaken, telling Nine Network television
that his blood pressure and hear rate
were a bit elevated.
Youre trying to be as still as you
possibly can and when youve got your
hands on the power levers, he told
ABC. Youre kind of worried about
the snake taking that as a threat and bit-
ing you.
As the plane was landing, the snake
was crawling down my leg, which was
frightening, he told Nine.
Once the plane had landed, a fire-
fighter spotted the snake but authorities
were not immediately able to catch it,
Air Frontier official Michael Ellen said.
A trap baited with a mouse failed to
catch the snake by Thursday, and the
plane remained grounded.
Wyoming town with one
resident sold for $900,000
BUFORD, Wyo. A Wyoming town
advertised as the smallest in the United
States has sold at auction for $900,000.
Buford is located between Cheyenne
and Laramie in southeast Wyoming. An
unidentified Vietnamese man placed
the winning bid at auction Thursday.
As owner of the place along
Interstate 80, he will get a gas station
and convenience store, a schoolhouse
from 1905, a cabin, a garage, 10 acres
of land, and a three-bedroom home.
The town has had just one inhabitant,
Don Sammons, who served with the
U.S. Army in Vietnam in the late 1960s.
He plans to retire from his unofficial
title as mayor of the unincorporated
community and write a book about his
experiences in Buford.
The town traces its origins to the
1860s and the construction of the
Transcontinental Railroad.
At 95, oldest clown
keeps the smiles coming
BILLINGS, Mont. Floyd
Creeky Creekmore is one of the qui-
eter acts in the circus, his larger-than-
life clown shoes shuffling methodically
as he works the crowd, igniting sur-
prised giggles and slack-jawed wonder
from children that look up to encounter
Creekmores wrinkled eyes smiling
through thick makeup.
At 95 years old, the former Montana
rancher recently dubbed the oldest per-
forming clown in the world has fewer
magic tricks up his oversized sleeves
than he once did. He gave up juggling
several years ago after a stroke, and has
long since parked the home-made bicy-
cle he once incorporated into his acts.
But when the Shrine Circus comes
through Billings, where Creekmore
lives with his 96-year-old wife, Betty,
Creeky the Clown returns to life.
At home in his kitchen, while Betty
dozes in the living room, Creekmore
pulls on a multi-colored, striped jacket
and dons a bright orange wig topped by
a yellow hat.

A former Menlo College post office man-
ager who prosecutors say stole credit cards
meant for a nonprofit operating at the
Atherton school was sentenced to 60 days in
jail after pleading no contest to felony
charges of identity theft and credit card
fraud.
Debra Lynn Blaylock, 55, of Santa Clara,
was originally charged with nine counts of
second-degree burglary and three counts of
grand theft on top of the identity theft but
prosecutors dropped them
as part of the negotiated
settlement. Blaylock was
also placed on three years
supervised probation and
will be eligible to serve the
jail time through the
Sheriffs Work Program.
Blaylock, who no longer
works at the school,
swiped the cards meant for

After the nonprot received the bill and
grew suspicious, the CEO obtained a surveil-
lance video from one of the business and rec-
ognized Blaylock as the person using the card.
Further video at three other businesses also
showed Blaylock.
When she was arrested, Blaylock possessed
credit cards belonging to two Menlo College

Redwood City may be the latest Peninsula
city to ban polystyrene food containers by
mimicking a county prohibition already in
place if the City Council gives the idea a
thumbs up Monday night.
The City Council will consider introducing
the ordinance at its upcoming meeting and, if
so, will follow with a May 7 public hearing
before a nal vote.
The proposed ban would take effect Jan. 1,
giving businesses a window for education and
transition to non-polystyrene containers, but
the city will encourage voluntary compliance
ahead of that date, according to city
spokesman Malcolm Smith.
Using the countys template frees the city
from the time and expense of crafting its own
ordinance, helps keep the county from becom-
ing a patchwork of differing rules and puts
responsibility for outreach, education and ini-
tial enforcement into the hands of the countys
environmental health department. Violations
could carry nes.
Banned items will include the single-use
disposable products used in restaurants and
the food service industry, including plates,
bowls, trays and clamshell containers.
Exclusions are made for disposable packing
used for unprepared food.
Polystyrene more commonly known by
its trademark Styrofoam is already banned
in several cities in San Mateo County, includ-
ing Half Moon Bay, Foster City, San Bruno,
Pacica, South San Francisco and Millbrae.

Oyster Point ferry
service to start in June
Direct ferry service between the East Bay
and Oyster Point Marina in South San
Francisco is on track to start operations in
June.
The San Francisco Bay Area Water
Emergency Transportation Authority board of
directors met Thursday to adopt a fare struc-
ture for the new service, which will carry
peak-hour commuters from ferry terminals in
Oakland and Alameda to Oyster Point Ferry
Terminal in about 40 minutes, WETA trans-
portation coordinator Ernest Sanchez said.
When the newest transbay service begins on
June 4, there will be three morning rush hour
departures from the East Bay, and two return
trips from Oyster Point in the evening,
Sanchez said.
The number of weekday trips will be
revisited depending on the popularity
of the new service.
As demand increases and we nd out
whats really there, well add more service,
he said.
Each eco-friendly Gemini ferry which
features free Wi-Fi and runs on a bio-diesel
blend 10 times cleaner than regular diesel
carries up to 149 passengers and has room for
34 bikes.
The $7 one-way adult fare includes a free
transfer to shuttle service that connects Oyster
Point with key business centers in South San
Francisco. Some major employers in the
region have already said they plan to run their
own shuttles to and from the ferry terminal,
Sanchez said.
The fare for seniors, disabled passengers
and kids between 5 and 12 years old was set at
$3.50. Kids under 5 years old ride free.

The Redwood
P l a n n i n g
Commission did
not vote at Monday
nights meeting on a
proposal to allow
office uses in vacant, ground-level spaces
in its downtown core. Instead, the com-
mission asked for more information such
as marketing efforts and input from down-
town merchants before agreeing to revisit
the idea at a future meeting. Cities tend to
prefer retail over office space because it
encourages more foot traffic but city staff
say any use is better than a vacancy. The
vacancy rate is now 25 percent. The pro-
posal would allow office businesses to
seek a five-year use permit if 10 percent or
more of the downtown retail space is
empty.
The Redwood City Council will hold
a study session on its proposed Capital
Improvement Program for the next two
fiscal years with a final recommendation
coming before it during the June budget
sessions.
The budget proposed $18.7 million for
fiscal year 2012-13 and $22.5 million for
fiscal year 2013-14 and includes five new
multi-million projects: the $5 million
replacement of Fire Station 12; a $30
million community wellness facility co-
developed with YMCA; a $2 million

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO California congres-
sional candidate Abel Maldonado on
Thursday disputed a claim by the Internal
Revenue Service that he may owe as much as
$470,000 in additional taxes for his family
business, which includes a farm and equip-
ment rentals.
The dispute centers on which items can be
deducted for tax purposes and over what peri-
od they can be depreciated.
Maldonado, a Republican from Santa
Maria, called it a difference of opinion in a
statement released by his campaign. He prom-
ised to pay the taxes for 2006 and 2007, with
interest, if he loses in U.S. Tax Court in
Washington, D.C.
The tax code is over 72,000 pages long.
Honest people can disagree about the inter-
pretation of the rules, Maldonado said. I
believe we paid the correct amount of taxes
and followed the rules as we understood
them.
Maldonado said the ongoing dispute shows
the need for a simpler tax code.
The former state lawmaker and lieutenant
governor is one of three primary challengers
to Rep. Lois Capps, a Santa Barbara
Democrat, in the newly redrawn 24th
Congressional District along Californias
Central Coast.
The other challengers are Tea Party-backed
Republican actor, writer and Santa Barbara
businessman Chris Mitchum, son of the late
lm star Robert Mitchum, and law student
Matt Boutte of San Luis Obispo, who lists no
party preference. Under a constitutional revi-
sion sought by Maldonado and former GOP
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the top two
candidates in the June primary will face off in
the November general election, regardless of
party.
The 24th Congressional District drawn after
the 2010 census is more competitive than
Capps current 23rd Congressional District,
though it contains nearly two-thirds of the vot-
ers in her current district.
Congressional challenger disputes IRS claim
LOS ANGELES California regulators
have formally declared an April 1 rate hike
from Aetna on small employers unreason-
able, but the insurer isnt backing down from
the hike.
Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones said
Thursday that he doesnt have the authority to
outright reject Aetnas 1.8 percent average
quarterly rate increases.
Jones says annually, the hike amounts to an
average 8 percent increase.
Jones determined the hike to be unreason-
able after state actuaries found that Aetnas
projections about medical cost increases
werent supported by actual claims.
Jones says Aetna made a 27.7 percent prof-
it in 2011, paying $1.7 billion in dividends to
its parent company.
Aetna did not immediately return a call
seeking comment.
Jones says small employers shouldnt be hit
with the rate increase.
State regulator calls Aetna rate hike unreasonable

Childrens nonprofit to adopt rabbits
Rileys Place, a Woodside nonprot that
provides animal experiences for kids facing
life-threatening health issues or other chal-
lenging family situations such as homeless-
ness or abuse, will adopt one of the Peninsula
Humane Society & SPCAs few dozen bun-
nies Friday afternoon.
We are happy to nd homes for all our ani-
mals, but this is obviously special, said
PHS/SPCA spokesperson Scott Delucchi.
Were touched that one of our homeless ani-
mals will not only have a great life at Rileys
Place, but will help so many young children
who deserve to experience some joy in their
lives.
Since being founded in 2009, Rileys Place
has adopted two miniature horses, two guinea
pigs and three other rabbits from PHS/SPCA.
Children from all over the Bay Area visit the
nonprofits Woodside rural property and
spend time with the menagerie of animals.
And, for children unable to travel, Rileys
Place brings its animals to them.
In general, PHS/SPCA is careful when
placing rabbits the week of Easter, mindful
that some families might be adopting on
impulse. However, year-round, the shelter
does everything possible to educate potential
adopters about bunnies and nd matches with
families and individuals who understand the
animals needs. Annually, PHS/SPCA places
150 to 200 rabbits into new homes.
Rabbits require patience and gentle han-
dling as they are fragile animals. They should
be kept indoors, and not outdoors in a hutch
as they are extremely susceptible to the ele-
ments. Like puppies, they explore the house
and chew, so the house should be rabbit-
proofed and caregivers should provide items
and toys appropriate for chewing; electrical
cords are a common target, so they should be
protected. And, like cats, they can be trained
to use a litter box and they enjoy daily inter-
actions with family members. Rabbits should
be spayed or neutered if kept as pairs. They
can live eight to 10 or more years, according
to the PHS.

NEW YORK Sales of the nations two
most popular prescription painkillers have
exploded in new parts of the country, an
Associated Press analysis shows, worrying
experts who say the push to relieve patients
suffering is spawning an addiction epidemic.
From New Yorks Staten Island to Santa Fe,
N.M., Drug Enforcement Administration g-
ures show dramatic rises between 2000 and
2010 in the distribution of oxycodone, the
key ingredient in OxyContin, Percocet and
Percodan. Some places saw sales increase
sixteenfold.
Meanwhile, the distribution of
hydrocodone, the key ingredient in Vicodin,
Norco and Lortab, is rising in Appalachia, the
original epicenter of the painkiller epidemic,
as well as in the Midwest.
The increases have coincided with a wave
of overdose deaths, pharmacy robberies and
other problems in New Mexico, Nevada,
Utah, Florida and other states. Opioid pain
relievers, the category that includes oxy-
codone and hydrocodone, caused 14,800
overdose deaths in 2008 alone, and the death
toll is rising, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention says.
Nationwide, pharmacies received and ulti-
mately dispensed the equivalent of 69 tons of
pure oxycodone and 42 tons of pure
hydrocodone in 2010, the last year for which
statistics are available. Thats enough to give
40 5-mg Percocets and 24 5-mg Vicodins to
every person in the United States. The DEA
data records shipments from distributors to
pharmacies, hospitals, practitioners and
teaching institutions. The drugs are eventual-
ly dispensed and sold to patients, but the
DEA does not keep track of how much indi-
vidual patients receive.
The increase is partly due to the aging U.S.
population with pain issues and a greater
willingness by doctors to treat pain, said
Gregory Bunt, medical director at New Yorks
Daytop Village chain of drug treatment clin-
ics.
Sales are also being driven by addiction, as
users become physically dependent on
painkillers and begin doctor shopping to
keep the prescriptions coming, he said.
Prescription medications can provide
enormous health and quality-of-life benets
to patients, Gil Kerlikowske, the U.S. drug
czar, told Congress in March. However, we
all now recognize that these drugs can be just
as dangerous and deadly as illicit substances
when misused or abused.
Opioids like hydrocodone and oxycodone
can release intense feelings of well-being.
Some abusers swallow the pills; others crush
them, then smoke, snort or inject the powder.
Unlike most street drugs, the problem has
its roots in two disparate parts of the country
Appalachia and afuent suburbs, said Pete
Jackson, president of Advocates for the
Reform of Prescription Opioids.
Now its spreading from those two poles,
Jackson said.
The AP analysis used drug data collected
quarterly by the DEAs Automation of
Reports and Consolidated Orders System.
The DEA tracks shipments sent from distrib-
utors to pharmacies, hospitals, practitioners
and teaching institutions and then compiles
the data using three-digit ZIP codes. Every
ZIP code starting with 100-, for example, is
lumped together into one gure.
Painkiller sales soar around U.S.
Prescription medications can provide
enormous health and quality-of-life benets to patients. ...
However, we all now recognize that these drugs can be just as
dangerous and deadly as illicit substances when misused or abused.

Fed judge: Denying
same-sex benefits discriminates
SAN FRANCISCO A federal judge in
San Francisco says the denial of insurance
benefits to same-sex
spouses is discriminatory.
The ruling Tuesday
involves 38-year-old fed-
eral court law clerk
Christopher Nathan and
39-year-old Thomas
Alexander, who were mar-
ried in 2008 when same-
sex marriages were legal
in California. Voters later
approved Proposition 8,
overturning the state Supreme Court ruling
that had legalized same-sex marriages.
Nathan was turned down when he tried last
year to enroll Alexander in the federal govern-
ments health insurance plan. A 1996 law bars
federal recognition of same-sex unions.
Chief U.S. District Judge James Ware ruled
that denial of insurance benets based on the
sexual orientation and gender of Nathans
spouse is discriminatory.
San Jose police: Man
posing as cop is stealing cash
San Jose police are trying to identify a man
who has been posing as a police ofcer and
stealing peoples cash.
Police say the man has victimized at least
three people, including two people on
Tuesday, employing the same routine.
He comes up to Spanish-speaking immi-
grants in a green van claiming to be an under-
cover ofcer. Police say he then lifts up his
shirt to show what looks like a badge, pats the
people down and asks for their wallets to run
their names for warrants.
When he returns from the van, the money in
the wallets is gone.
Oakland charter school to stay open
An Oakland charter school that has among
the best student test scores in the state will
stay open despite allegations of fraud and mis-
management.
The city school board voted 4-3 on
Wednesday to renew the charter of the
American Indian Public Charter School II.
Board members, however, demanded that the
organization behind the school implement
stricter accounting policies.

WASHINGTON In a letter written at the
request of a federal appellate judge, Attorney
General Eric Holder on Thursday offered
assurances that the Obama administration
respects the authority of the courts.
Appeals Court Judge Jerry Smith in Texas
requested the letter after President Barack
Obama said this week that it would be
unprecedented for the
Supreme Court to overturn
a major law passed by
Congress like the health
care overhaul whose con-
stitutionality it is now con-
sidering.
On Tuesday, saying he
was seeking reassurances
that the Justice
Department recognizes
judicial authority, Smith said he wanted a let-
ter of at least three pages that makes specic
references to the presidents statements.
The longstanding, historical position of the
United States regarding judicial review of the
constitutionality of federal legislation has not
changed, Holder wrote.
The department has not in this litigation,
nor in any other litigation of which I am
aware, ever asked this or any other court to
reconsider or limit long-established precedent
concerning judicial review, Holder added.

WASHINGTON Stung by high gasoline
costs, outlying suburbs that sprouted in the
heady 2000s are now seeing their growth z-
zle to historic lows, halting American city
dwellers decades-long exodus to sprawling
homes in distant towns.
New census estimates as of July 2011 high-
light a shift in population trends following an
extended housing bust and renewed spike in
oil prices. Two years after the recession tech-
nically ended, and despite faint signs of a
rebound, Americans again are shunning
moves at record levels and staying put in big
cities.
That is posing longer-term consequences
for residential exurbs on the edge of metro-
politan areas.
Construction of gleaming new schools and
mega-malls built in anticipation of a contin-
ued population boom is cutting back.
Spacious McMansions offering the promise of
homeownership to middle-class families sit
abandoned or half-built. Once an escape from
urban problems, suburban regions hit by fore-
closures are posting bigger jumps in poverty
than cities.
The result: The annual rate of growth in
American cities and surrounding urban areas
has now surpassed that of exurbs for the rst
time in at least 20 years, spanning the modern
era of sprawling suburban development.
The heyday of exurbs may well be behind
us, Yale University economist Robert J.
Shiller said. Shiller, co-creator of a Standard
& Poors housing index, is perhaps best
known for identifying the risks of a U.S. hous-
ing bubble before it actually burst in 2006-
2007. Examining the current market, Shiller
believes America is now at a turning point,
shifting away from faraway suburbs in the
long term amid persistently high gasoline
prices.
Suburban housing prices may not recover
in our lifetime, Shiller said, calling the devel-
opment of suburbs since 1950 unusual and
enabled only by the rise of the automobile and
the nations highway system. With the burst-
ing of the bubble, we may be discovering the
pleasures of the city and the advantages of
renting, investing our money not in a single
house but in a diversied portfolio.

Sotelos squad was ambushed in an open

which killed the platoon commander, accord-

Sotelo took charge, moving the unit to a near-

retrieve the fallen lieutenants body.
Sotelo called in support and began to assault
the position, repelling the enemy.
As soon as we got across, we got lit up and
engaged in every direction, Cpl. Jose
Launder, Company K, 3rd Bn., 5th Marines,
said in a prepared statement. Sotelo just ran
over and threw a grenade.
Eventually, Sotelo called in an air strike to
silence enemy re. The squad was able to
return to safety.
Sotelo added the award only points out his
actions but the work of everyone involved
helped keep the squad safe. The supportive
squad and air assets were essential, he said.
The pilots, for example, were low on fuel and
out of ammunition, he said.
They put their lives on the line, Sotelo
said.

TUNKHANNOCK, Pa. Mitt Romney is
sharpening his focus on President Barack
Obama and broadening his pitch to independ-
ents and Democrats. He has more security
around him, his campaign team is growing
and his crowds appear more excited to see
him. Its a different world for Romney now
that hes the almost-certain Republican presi-
dential nominee.
The transition from the primary season is
well under way for Romney and his team as
the former Massachusetts governor campaigns
this week across Pennsylvania, which is sure
to be a general election battleground state.
It isnt about one person or about even one
party, Romney told a cheering crowd
Thursday at his state headquarters in
Harrisburg. Working to appeal not just to his
party any more but to the country at large, he
said, Were Republicans and Democrats in
this campaign, but were all connected with
one destiny for America.
With a broad appeal like that, its easy to
forget that the GOP primary season is still
under way and that Romney still faces a
Republican challenge though a weak one
from former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick
Santorum.
Santorum badly trails Romney in delegates
and is looking to revive his struggling candi-
dacy on April 24 when this states
Republicans weigh in on who should get the
chance to challenge Obama this fall. Newt
Gingrich and Ron Paul also have refused to
abandon their bids despite huge losing streaks.
Romney is more than halfway to the 1,144
delegates needed to clinch the partys nomina-
tion, and he could reach that total by June if
not earlier at his current pace. On Tuesday, he
racked up victories in
Wisconsin, Maryland and
Washington, D.C., and
immediately shifted his
focus to the Democratic
incumbent with a pair of
blistering speeches that
castigated Obama and cast
the fall contest as a choice
between two competing
ideological visions.
In the days since, Romney has returned to
the campaign trail with a confident tone
despite the signicant hurdles he faces as he
seeks to overtake an incumbent president at a
time when the economy on which Romney
has based his campaign is showing signs of
improvement.
Its not just Romneys message thats evolv-
ing.
The Secret Service agents protecting him
have started to implement additional measures
now that hes the presumptive Republican
nominee.
His campaign announced Thursday that for-
mer Republican National Committee
Chairman Ed Gillespie will serve as a senior
adviser, the rst of what aides say will be a big
expansion of the Boston-based campaign
team. Until now, Romney has kept his cam-
paign on the small side and has relied on an
intimate group of advisers. He knows he needs
more as he prepares to compete across the
country against a major Obama re-election
effort.
In recent days, the supporters who have
showed up at Romney events in Pennsylvania
have been treating him like a well-known gen-
eral election candidate.
And Romneys Pennsylvania campaign
headquarters buzzed with activity on
Thursday.
New world for Romney, the
all-but-certain GOP nominee
By Anne Gearan
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama is laying groundwork to make the
majority-conservative Supreme Court a cam-
paign issue this fall, taking a political page
from Republicans who have long railed
against liberal judges who dont vote their
way.
The emerging Democratic strategy to paint
the court as extreme was little noted in this
weeks hubbub over Obamas assertion that
overturning his health care law would be
unprecedented.
His statement Monday wasnt completely
accurate, and the White House backtracked.
But Obama was making a political case, not a
legal one, and he appears ready to keep mak-
ing it if the high courts ve-member majori-
ty strikes down or cuts the heart out of his sig-
nature policy initiative.
The court also is likely to consider several
other issues before the November election
that could stir Obamas core Democratic sup-
porters and draw crucial independent voters
as well. Among those are immigration, voting
rights and a revisit of a campaign nance rul-
ing that Obama has already criticized as an
outrage.
We havent seen the end of this, said
longtime Supreme Court practitioner Tom
Goldstein, who teaches at Stanford and
Harvard universities. The administration
seems to be positioning itself to be able to run
against the Supreme Court if it needs to or
wants to.
While Obama has predicted victory in the
health care case now before the court, his
administration could blame overreach by
Republican-appointed justices if the law is
rejected, said Goldstein, who wrote a brief
supporting the laws constitutionality.
This can be dangerous ground, as Obama
discovered. Since Franklin Delano
Roosevelt, few presidents have directly
assailed the Supreme Court. In Obamas
case, he issued an indirect challenge, but the
former constitutional law professor tripped
over the details.
Obama told a news conference on Monday
that he was condent that the Supreme Court
will not take what would be an unprecedent-
ed, extraordinary step of overturning a law
that was passed by a strong majority of a
democratically elected Congress.
The Supreme Court does sometimes over-
turn laws passed by Congress. Obama later
claried that he was referring to a narrow
class of constitutional law, but even then
Republicans and some court scholars took
issue. Whats not in question is that the law
wasnt approved by a strong, majority the
vote was a slim 219 to 212 in the House.

Court as a campaign issue

UNITED NATIONS Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon said Thursday the crisis in Syria
is getting worse and claiming more lives every
day even though President Bashar Assads
government insists it is withdrawing troops
ahead of a U.N. deadline to end the violence.
The U.N. chief appealed to Assad to show
vision and leadership and keep his pledge to
pull troops and heavy weapons out of cities
and towns by April 10, and he urged the oppo-
sition to be ready to stop all violence if the
Syrian government meets the deadline.
Cities, towns and villages have been turned
into war zones. The sources of violence are
proliferating, Ban told the U.N. General
Assembly. The human rights of the Syrian
people continue to be violated. ...
Humanitarian needs are growing dramatical-
ly.
His comments came as activists reported
that Syrian troops attacked the Damascus sub-
urb of Douma, an assault they said shows that
Assad is intensifying violence in the days
before the April 10 deadline. His crackdown
on the yearlong uprising has left at least 9,000
people dead, according to the U.N.
Earlier Thursday, a U.N. team arrived in
Damascus to start technical preparations for
the possible deployment of U.N. monitors for
any cease-re between Syrian troops and
rebel forces.
Ko Annan, the U.N.-Arab League envoy
trying to end the conict, said Syria has
informed him of partial withdrawals from
three locations Idlib, Zabadani and Daraa
but it is clear that more far-reaching
action is urgently required.
We must silence the tanks, helicopters,
mortars and guns, and stop all other forms of
violence too: sexual abuse, torture, execu-
tions, abductions, destruction of homes,
forced displacement, and other such abuses,
including on children, he said.
Annan and Ban spoke to the General
Assembly minutes after the U.N. Security
Council called on Syria to urgently and visi-
bly fulll its pledge to halt the use of troops
and weapons by April 10.

Coast Guard fires on
Japanese ghost ship
OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA The
U.S. Coast Guard unleashed cannon fire
Thursday at a Japanese vessel set adrift by last
years tsunami, stopping the ships long, lone-
ly voyage across the Pacic Ocean.
A Coast Guard cutter red on the aban-
doned 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru in the waters
of the Gulf of Alaska and more than 150 miles
from land, spokesman Paul Webb said.
Soon after the 25 mm cannon re started,
the ship burst into ames, began to take on
water and list, Chief Petty Officer Kip
Wadlow said. A huge spiral of smoke could be
seen over the gulf.
About two hours later, the vessel hadnt
sunk and the cutter resumed shelling, Lt.
Veronica Colbath said. This time, the Coast
Guard used 50 mm shells.
Hope for Romania baby
born with stunted intestines
BUCHAREST, Romania Baby Andrei

The tiny boy with twig-thin limbs was given
just days to live when he was born with almost
no intestines eight months ago.

miracle. People in Europe and the United
States have started offering funds to help
Andrei get a complicated intestine transplant in
the United States, the Romanian pediatrician in

High-speed rail bonds
equal no new state taxes
Editor,
The newest high-speed rail scheme
attempts to undo massive damage
caused by high-speed rails prior $98.7
billion to $117.8 billion estimate for
Phase I (San Francisco to Los Angeles)
construction.
Its newest estimate is now $68 bil-
lion, over twice the $33 billion they
sold to voters in November 2008 to
build both Phases I and II (Sacramento
and San Diego). But $68 billion is not
what voters authorized in Proposition
1A, is $35 billion more than the $33
billion bait and switch estimate and
reafrms that Californias Legislature is
legally and ethically barred from sell-
ing new high-speed rail bonds for this
boondoggle. If new HSR debt is issued,
then Californias Democrats show that
they have a spending problem, not a
revenue problem, and all new tax
yourself measures will be defeated in
November of 2012.
They cant cut massive amounts from
K-12 children, CSU/UC, seniors, parks
and police/re, but nd limitless money
for a high-speed rail train that, ve
independent polls show, Californians
dont want, cant afford, and wont
ride. The California Labor Federation
and powerful unions want Democrats
to borrow billions in high-speed rail
debt for temporary jobs; the expense is
too high and unfunded.

High-speed rail project funding
Editor,
We are not learning, are we? Now we
are going to pay for part of the high-
speed rail with funds from a cap and
trade revenue stream?
This high-speed rail plan is a pie-in-
the-sky build by politicians leading to a
sharp incline in cost and liability for us,
the tax payers. I dont understand and
wonder if Californian voters do either.
We are being screwed again by nitwits
that somehow are moving programs,
approvals, revenue and budgets around
to suit their needs. And we are just sit-
ting here. We are not getting a chance
to vote this macabre theater down for-
ever. If you have some spare cash, what
is wrong with saving money or paying
back the state debt?

No rest rooms for customers
Editor,
I have been a regular customer at
Subway Sandwiches, located on Third
Avenue, San Mateo, for years. That
changed today. I asked if I could please
use the bathroom before I ordered, and
the familiar woman behind the counter
atly said, No. There was no sorry,
no explanation just a at out no.
I took my friend with me, and we
went to Togos across the street. They
had a rest room that we didnt even
have to ask to use (imagine that). It
turned out we enjoyed the food there
better.
With all of the nice businesses and
dining establishments we have in
downtown San Mateo, I was a little
shocked to nd this Subway to be so
outright unfriendly. I wont be return-
ing there until they start providing
appropriate facilities for their cus-
tomers.

Who is the evil aggressor?
Editor,
There have been numerous letters pub-
lished about the imminent threat of
nuclear weapons in Iran. The constant
bombardment from corporate media and
pro-Israel pundits leads people to believe
that a preemptive strike is the answer. A
recent online Daily Journal poll suggests
a majority of people would support U.S.
military action at Israels behest.
Counter to mainstream accusations,
Iran would not have nukes for years.
Tehran does not have a bomb, has not
decided to build one and is probably
years away from having a deliverable
nuclear warhead, said a Reuters special
report released on March 23. The report,
citing breaking intelligence from current
and former U.S. ofcials, outlines the
less than dramatic realities of Irans
nuclear program, running counter to
many U.S. and Israeli claims that Iran
has imminent nuclear weapon capabili-
ties. Such had been the desired justica-
tion for a joint attack on Iran.
Should Iran ever decide to build a
nuclear weapon, it would take many
years contrary to Israels claim that
Iran will have a bomb within one year,
the report emphasized. Current and for-
mer U.S. ofcials say they are condent
that Iran has no secret uranium-enrich-
ment site outside the purview of U.N.
nuclear inspections. They also have con-
dence that any Iranian move toward
building a functional nuclear weapon
would be detected long before a bomb
was made.
Israel is adamant in its claim that the
goal of their true menace is to destroy
their country. But is there any concern
for Israeli casualties as a result of war
with Iran and its allies? Who is the evil
aggressor? Iran or a government hell-
bent on the ethnic cleansing of the
Palestinian people?

A
ll that Army National
Guardsman Spec. Dennis
Weichel knew when a group
of children neared his convoy in March
was that they could be in danger. The
Afghan children, in a northeastern
province, were in the area trying to
retrieve shell casings at a ring range to
sell for scrap.
Weichel leaped from his vehicle to
get the children out of the way. But
then one of them darted under a vehi-
cle, whereupon Weichel crawled under
that vehicle and pushed the child out of
the way. The youngster made it.
Weichel was run over and killed.
And in southeastern Pakistan, medics
from a military combat outpost saved
the life of a child seriously injured by a
homemade bomb. The bomb was the
creation of his father, a member of the
Taliban organization.
Civilian casualties are an unfortunate
reality of war, despite American efforts
to limit them. Then there are awful
aberrations such as the deaths of 17
Afghan civilians, allegedly at the hands
of a U.S. soldier who has been charged
with 17 counts of murder. That incident
was horric, and there was no reason or
excuse for it.
But most members of U.S. forces do
all within their power, even putting
themselves in danger in the case of
Weichel, deadly danger to help civil-
ians. And Afghan civilians know it. Of
the contrast between Weichels action
and that of Army Staff Sgt. Robert
Bales, charged in those 17 killings, one
Afghan who happens to be the uncle of
the boy Weichel saved, said, As you
know, all ve ngers on one hand are
not equal, and its the same with
American soldiers.

Spring is
in the air
T
he weather threw us for a loop this year with a
few warm winter months with nary a cloud or
drop of rain. That wet weather seemed to come on
the first day of spring, bringing us up to an almost
respectable level of rainfall that just might keep the D
word rolling around in some
peoples minds and off the tips
of their tongues.
So as the wind picks up and
the temperatures rise, there is a
reminder to us all that spring is
indeed here. And its not just
the pollen and the insects in the
air and the magnolia and cherry
blossoms on the trees.
First off, theres baseball. The
San Francisco Giants named
their opening day roster
Wednesday and Tim Lincecum
is set to take the mound tonight
and throw to a healthy Buster Posey. Theres been some
changes, and if youd like to know more specifics, and I
do mean specifics, check out the Daily Journal sports sec-
tion just a flip of the page away. Its been a long winter
away from baseball and the timing couldnt be any more
perfect for opening day.
Then theres farmers markets. Some are year-round but
dont have the same draw when the weather is more suited
for soup and a book. As far as the seasonal markets, the
first one is the Kiwanis Club Farmers Market Saturday
from 8 a.m. to noon in downtown Redwood City on the
corner of Hamilton and Winslow streets. That particular
market has been around for three decades and is a sure bet
when it comes to seasonal goods. And since its the end of
the winter growing season look for plenty of cruciferous
vegetables like collards and broccoli theyre good for
you! The mainstay for year-round farmers markets is the
Saturday morning one at College of San Mateo, but theres
also the market on Sunday morning at Caada College in
Redwood City. Theres plenty of choices for anyone want-
ing to make a trip and look to the Daily Journal for more
information as other markets start up. You can also go to
Pacific Coast Farmers Market Association website at
www.pcfma.com for more specific information on loca-
tions.
Then theres Passover and Easter. Its Good Friday folks,
and for some that means the end of Lent, so break out
those chocolate bars and six-packs (but dont bring them
to Sunday service). For those who regularly attend church,
you know the routine. But for those needing a holiday to
reconnect, the Daily Journal calendar of events will have
plenty of information for services, both at sunrise for you
early risers, and otherwise.
Looking for a fun-filled community Easter event? Then
look no further than the Burlingame Lions Clubs annual
Easter Egg Hunt and Pancake Breakfast Saturday morning.
For 37 years, the Burlingame Lions Club has put on its
Easter Egg Hunt at Washington Park. There will be more
than 4,500 chocolate Easter eggs made by Burlingames
Prestons Candy and Ice Cream given away to children.
The San Mateo Elks Band will play and there will be face
painting. All for free. Theres also a pancake breakfast
with the usual accompaniments including my favorite,
sausage, for a fairly good price its $7 for adults and $4
for children. The breakfast begins at 8 a.m., the hunt
begins at 9 a.m. and everything should be wrapped up by
11 a.m.
And if thats not enough indication that spring is here,
those who relish the growing thoughts of Green Zebras,
Black Krims, Jersey Devils, San Marzanos and Red
Chelseas, the tomato and pepper seedling sale is coming
next week. Once at the College of San Mateo greenhouse,
the suspension of the colleges horticulture program means
a new location this year for the popular sale sponsored by
the Master Gardeners of San Mateo and San Francisco
counties. Now its at the San Mateo Elks Lodge at 229 W.
20th Ave. April 14 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. There will be 35
varieties of tomato seedlings and 15 varieties of pepper
seedlings for $4 each. Master gardeners will be on hand to
tell you the right tomato variety for your garden condi-
tions. I still have a jalapeno plant from two years ago and
though growing the plants takes a little work, patience and
care (who am I kidding, its a lot of work, but the good
kind), its worth it when you can pick your own from your
backyard. And if thoughts of a summer garden dont shake
you into spring, then maybe this weekends forecast will ...
sunny skies with just a chance of rain.

NEW YORK Stocks just had their
worst week of the new year.
The Standard & Poors 500 ended a
shortened trading week down 0.7 per-
cent. Though modest compared to the
scary drops last year, its the worst since
the week ended Dec. 16, 2011.
Stock trading will be closed for the
Good Friday holiday.
Investors sold stocks Thursday on
fears that Spain may have trouble paying
back its debt after a key interest rate on
Spanish government bonds rose to the
highest point since November.
The rewall that Europe has estab-
lished is in no way adequate to handle a
Spanish default, said Jim Russell, chief
equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth
Management. Were hopeful that (its
debt) will be manageable, but were not
sure.
The S&P 500 fell 0.88 point Thursday
to close at 1,398.08. The Dow Jones
industrial average fell 14.61 points to
13,060.14. The Nasdaq composite rose
12.41 points to 3,080.50.
The Dow and S&P fell right after the
opening bell, then turned up briefly
before dropping again.
The selling appeared to be tempered
by a Labor Department report early
Thursday that the number of people
seeking jobless benets fell to a four-
year low.
The selling came after the Dow had
dropped nearly 125 points a day earlier,
its worst decline in a month. That was
triggered by minutes from the Federal
Reserves last meeting suggesting that
the central bank didnt plan any more
steps to push interest rates lower.
The sell-off yesterday was a little
overdone, a reaction to how far we came
for the quarter, and how fast, said Brian
Lazorishak, a portfolio manager at
Chase Investment Counsel. For the rst
three months of the year, the three major
indexes were up 8 percent or more, the
best start to a year since the great bull
market of the 1990s.
Spain has become the latest point of
concern in Europes debt crisis.
Investors are concerned over the ability
of the countrys government to push
through cost-cutting programs at a time
when its economy appears to be heading
for another recession.
Yields on 10-year Spanish bonds rose
0.08 percentage point to 5.74 percent,
the highest level since November and a
sign that investors are less condent in
the countrys nances.

Big movers
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama signed bipartisan jobs legisla-
tion Thursday that will help small busi-
nesses and make it easier for startups to
raise capital, saying it could be a game-
changer for entrepreneurs dreaming of
founding the next Microsoft or
Facebook.
When their ideas take root, we get
inventions that can change the way we
live, Obama said in the Rose Garden,
anked by lawmakers of both parties
who backed the bill. And when their
businesses take off, more people
become employed.
He said the initiatives in the bill par-
alleled many of the provisions that he
sought last fall in his jobs agenda to
encourage small-business growth.
Republicans, who promoted the pro-
small business ideas in the House,
joined Obama at the signing ceremony,
including House Majority Leader Eric
Cantor, R-Va. Sen. Scott Brown, R-
Mass., whose seat has been targeted by
Democrats, also looked on as Obama
signed the bill into law.
This bill represents exactly the kind
of bipartisan action we should be taking
in Washington to help our economy,
Obama said.
Cantor, speaking to reporters after the
ceremony, said the bill was aimed at
the problem that we face in America
today which is that our economy is lag-
ging and our small businesses are hav-
ing too hard of a time getting up off the
ground.
Some Democrats, however, raised
concerns that the bill softened invest-
ment protections enacted after the
dot.com excesses and Wall Street melt-
downs and the changes could lead to
fraud and abuse.
Speaking to an audience that included
small business owners, Obama indicat-
ed hes aware of those concerns and has
directed top ofcials to keep a close
eye on how it goes into effect
The main part of the bill would phase
in Securities and Exchange Commission
regulations over a ve-year period to let
smaller companies go public sooner.
Firms that have annual gross revenues
of less than $1 billion would enjoy this
emerging growth company status.
The legislation may be one of the few
accomplishments for a Congress
stymied by partisan divisions heading
into the fall elections.
The bill combines a number of bipar-
tisan bills that exempt newer companies
from SEC reporting rules in order to
reduce costs and red tape.
Obama signs small business legislation
Yahoo CEO tries to
reassure workers after layoffs
SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson
plans to tell the struggling Internet companys employees
more about his turnaround strategy next week.
Thompson also sought to boost sagging employee morale
in a staff memo Thursday. It came a day after Yahoo Inc.
began laying off 2,000 workers in the biggest purge in the
companys 17-year history.
The 14 percent cut in Yahoos workforce marks
Thompsons most dramatic move since he was hired three
months ago. Yahoo Inc., which is based in Sunnyvale,
Calif., lured him away from eBays PayPal payment serv-
ice.
I have seen big turnarounds before, and this company
has the foundation, the spirit, the backbone and the creativ-
ity to get it done, Thompson wrote.
Although he didnt provide specics, Thompson hinted
that he plans to streamline Yahoos management team to
enable the company to keep pace with Internet search
leader Google Inc. and social networking leader Facebook
Inc. in the race to sell online advertising.
Gap March revenue figure up 8 percent
SAN FRANCISCO Clothing retailer Gap Inc. said
Thursday that a key revenue gure rose 8 percent in March,
well above analysts expectations, helped by higher shopper
demand for its newly retooled fashions.
The results were a positive sign for the retailer, which has
been struggling for years to turn around its business and
reclaim its fashion status.
We delivered solid sales performance in March and are
pleased with customer response to product across all
brands, Chairman and CEO Glenn Murphy said in a state-
ment.
Analysts had expected a 5.4 percent increase in revenue
at stores open at least a year. That is considered a key indi-
cator of a retailers health because it excludes results from
locations that have opened or closed in the past year. Gap
includes online sales in the gure.
Business briefs
WASHINGTON The number of
people seeking U.S. unemployment
benets fell to a four-year low last
week, suggesting employers kept hir-
ing in March at a healthy pace.
Weekly applications dropped 6,000
to a seasonally adjusted 357,000, the
Labor Department said Thursday.
Thats the fewest since April 2008.
The four-week average, a less
volatile measure, fell to 361,750, also
the lowest in four years.
Applications have been steadily
declining since last fall. The four-week
average fell 4 percent in the January-
March quarter, after dropping 8 percent
in the nal three months of last year.
When unemployment benet appli-
cations drop consistently below
375,000, it usually signals that hiring is
strong enough to lower the unemploy-
ment rate.

NEW YORK If you think texting
while walking is dangerous, just wait
until everyone starts wearing Googles
futuristic, Internet-connected glasses.
While wearing a pair, you can see
directions to your destination appear lit-
erally before your eyes. You can talk to
friends over video chat, take a photo or
even buy a few things online as you walk
around.
These glasses can do anything you
now need a smartphone or tablet com-
puter to do and then some.
Google gave a glimpse of Project
Glass in a video and blog post this
week. Still in an early prototype stage,
the glasses open up endless possibilities
as well as challenges to safety, priva-
cy and fashion sensibility.
The prototypes Google displayed
have a sleek wrap-around look and
appear nothing like clunky 3-D glasses.
But if Google isnt careful, they could
be dismissed as a kind of Bluetooth ear-
piece of the future, a fashion faux-pas
where bulky looks outweigh marginal
utility.
In development for a couple of years,
the project is the brainchild of Google X,
the online search-leaders secret facility
that spawned the self-driving car and
could one day send elevators into space.
If it takes off, it could bring reality
another step closer to science ction,
where the line between human and
machine blurs.

Donn North, head coach of the
Redwood girls basketball team out
of Payes Place in San Carlos, said it
kind of happened in slow motion.
With the scored tied 41-41 and no
time on the clock, Tatiana Reese
stepped to the free throw line in a
second round matchup against
National Junior Basketball power-
house Tustin.
It had been a hard-fought affair
and the nal 24 seconds or so had
been frantic. But with Redwoods
hopes on the line, Reese went to the
free throw line with no time left to
try and win the game.
Talk about pressure, North said.
The ball hits the left side of the
rim, sat there, rolled around to the
back of the rim and kind of, dropped
in. The place went crazy.
The win gave the Redwood team
the momentum it needed to pull off
another pair of victories en route to
winning the NJB National
Tournament. Norths team was
down 10 points in the fourth quarter.
I called a time-out and told the
girls it was going to take a team
effort, North said, everyone is
going to have to contribute, step up
and play defense.
The Redwood team did just that,
led by Mia Woo and Mallory North,
who came up with key steals which
spearheaded the comeback.
The All-Net tournament team
capped off their run with a 39-26
win over Palo Alto that was sparked
by a 10-0 run in the rst quarter.
Throughout the whole tourna-
ment, every girl contributed, North
said. We have 10 girls and all 10
made an impact in one game or
another.
Next up, North will take a sixth
grade level team over to Reno to
play in the AAUs biggest tourna-
ment over Memorial Day. More
than 700 teams participate in that
tournament.
RALSTON MIDDLE SCHOOL
WINS TITLE
The Ralston Middle
School Gold B basket-
ball team capped off an
impressive undefeated
season (13-0) last
week, capturing the dis-
trict championship by defeating
Central Green 25-23.
This win, just like all of our pre-
vious wins, was a total team effort,
said Ralston head coach Karl Tahir.
The boys played hard as a team
and every one of them contributed
as they have throughout the whole
season. The main thing when the
season started ... was defense, hard
work and perseverance to all the
boys. Its wasnt by luck that we
won all of our close game because
the boys played hard on defense.
Ralston only allowed two oppo-
nents to score more than 20 points
on them all season long.
Ralston took a 10-5 lead into half-
time and led throughout most of the
game. That is, until Central Green
took the lead, 23-23, with 2:31 left
in the fourth quarter.
Ralston regained the lead when
Timothy Tai made a pair of free
throws to make it 24-23.
It was great, Tahir said of the
win. They bought into [the philos-
ophy]. The only thing that is
dependable at this level is good
defense.
SAN MATEO AAU
REPRESENTS WELL
The San Mateo AYSO Girls 10-
under team the Midnight
Werewolves recently won the
Northern California sectional tour-
nament.
The victory entitled them to com-
pete in the AYSO California State
Championships, held in Palm
Springs, Calif.
Coached by Paul Chun and Shar
Manu, the Midnight Werewolves
brought their solid defense to the
desert, but lost in the semi-nals to
Business City, 3-0.
The girls later lost in the consola-
tion game to Lompoc, 3-0.
We couldnt be more proud of
these girls, Chun said via email.
The results were not exactly what
we hoped for, but it was a wonder-
ful, fun experience.
We played hard and competitive-
ly. We represented San Mateo and
all of Northern California with
pride.
It was the rst appearance of a
San Mateo AYSO soccer team in the
state tournament in recent memory,
according to Chun.

Kill Frank Gores head
Report says Saints, Williams targeted specific 49ers
By Brett Martell
NEW ORLEANS A newly
released recording purports to cap-
ture former
Saints defensive
c o o r d i n a t o r
Gregg Williams
telling players
to put a lick
on San
F r a n c i s c o s
Kyle Williams
to see if the
receiver still had
lingering effects
from an earlier concussion.
Filmmaker Sean Pamphilon, who
had access to Saints meetings for a
documentary on football, has post-
ed the audio on his web site.
Pamphilon initially shared the con-
tent with Yahoo Sports, telling the
website that while he was not both-
ered by much of Williams profani-
ty-laced speech, he was troubled by
comments about the previously
concussed player.
I thought, Did he just say
that? Pamphilon said in an article
posted Thursday. That was the red
ag for me.
Williams, who is suspended
indenitely for his admitted role
overseeing a bounty system that
offered Saints defenders cash for
big hits, did not immediately
respond to a phone message and
email left with his foundation in
Missouri on Thursday.
Williams left New Orleans after
the season and was hired as defen-
sive coordinator by the St. Louis
Rams.
Pamphilon made the recording of
Williams speech during a meeting
before the Saints lost to the 49ers in
a divisional playoff game in
January.
When the New York Giants
defeated the 49ers a week later in
the NFC title game, several Giants
players made similar comments
about wanting to get hits on
Williams, who fumbled twice in the
game, because they knew he had
previous concussions.
In Pamphilons recording,
Williams also tells his players to set
their sights on running back Frank
Gore, quarterback Alex Smith and
receiver Michael Crabtree.
We need to decide on how many
times we can beat Frank Gores
head, he says.
Williams also
implores his
charges to lay
out Smith and
later adds, We
need to decide
w h e t h e r
Crabtree wants
to be a (exple-
tive) prima
donna or he
wants to be a
tough guy. He becomes human
when we ... take out that outside
ACL.
Pamphilon also described
Williams pointing to his chin when
he said, We hit (expletive) Smith
right there.
P a mp h i l o n
said Williams
then rubbed his
fingers together
as one might do
when doling out
cash, saying, I
got the first
one, which
P a m p h i l o n
understood to
mean the defensive coordinator had
placed a cash bounty on Smith.
The NFL has said Williams
bounty system offered off-the-
books cash payments of $1,000 or
more for hits that either knocked
targeted opponents out of games or
left them needing help off the eld,
and the Saints have been punished
heavily for allowing such a program
to endure for three seasons.
NFL Commissioner Roger
Goodell also suspended Saints head
coach Sean Payton for the entire
2012 season, while handing down
additional suspensions of eight
games to general manager Mickey
Loomis and six games to assistant
head coach Joe Vitt, who also
coaches linebackers. The Saints,
meanwhile, were fined $500,000
and docked second-round draft
picks this year and next.
The Williams recording was
released on the same day that the
Payton, Loomis and Vitt were in
New York for an appeal hearing
regarding their unprecedented pun-
ishments.
After Vitts appeal was heard, his
lawyer, David Cornwell, was asked
about the audio tape, and described
it as, a rogue coach about to get
red.
He was red two days later,
said Cornwell, who also serves as
executive director of the NFL
Coaches Association. He was on
the way out.
Cornwell said the league told the
Saints at the start of the playoffs
that it was reopening its bounty
investigation. He said Loomis and
Payton told Williams, Theres no
place for this in this organization or
this league.
The NFL, however, in its state-
ment last month announcing the
penalties for team ofcials, said the
GM and coach made only cursory
inquiries into the possible pres-
ence of a bounty program.
Pamphilon said Payton and
Loomis were not in the room when
the recording of Williams was
made.
Williams can
be heard using
metaphors he
has often used
throughout his
coaching career,
such as, kill
the head and the
body will die.
That was
Williams way of urging players to
disrupt opposing teams star players
with intimidating and nasty physi-
cal play. Another of Williams
mantras was that respect comes
from fear, which he repeats in the
recording.
Weve got to do everything we
can in the world to make sure we
kill Frank Gores head, Williams
says. We want him running side-
ways. We want his head sideways.

L.A. stadium developer
releases plan for NFL
LOS ANGELES A group seeking to
bring the NFL back to Los Angeles unveiled a
massive environmental plan Thursday, laying
out ways to deal with the trafc nightmare that
throngs of fans could create around the pro-
posed $1.4 billion downtown stadium on
game days.
Required under a state agreement to make
the planned 72,000-seat Farmers Field envi-
ronmentally friendly, Anschutz Entertainment
Group said it will spend about $35 million to
reduce the trafc footprint by, among other
things, expanding the nearby U.S. 101 free-
way and a commuter train station.
The environmental impact report has a goal
of having 25 percent of fans use alternative
transportation, with 5,000 people estimated to
walk or bike to games.
We have to change peoples habits from
the day they buy their rst ticket, AEG
President Tim Leiweke said at a City Hall
news conference.
Leiweke stressed the stadiums green cre-
dentials in unveiling the 10,000-page docu-
ment, which is a key step in returning profes-
sional football to Los Angeles for the rst
time since 1994. Leiweke said he hopes the
stadium will be ready in time for the 2017 sea-
son and added that if an NFL team arrives
before the stadium is ready, it can use tempo-
rary venues such as the Rose Bowl in
Pasadena or the Los Angeles Coliseum.
The report, which took two years to com-
plete, is a milestone on the way to luring back
a team to Los Angeles, which lost both the
Raiders and Rams in 1994. After a 45-day
public comment period, the report goes to the
City Council.
It also could face legal challenges but
Leiweke praised the completion the $27 mil-
lion report, which he called the worlds most
expensive piece of paper.
In terms of football, we are now in the
offensive zone, not the defensive zone,
Leiweke said at the news conference where he
was surrounded by helmeted construction
workers, janitors and other union laborers
who back the stadium.
The report estimates the stadium could pro-
vide 11,000 permanent new jobs in addition to
thousands of construction jobs, and generate
$1.7 billion for the local economy.
However, some analysts have argued that
the benets are overstated.
Trafc is a crucial concern. The report itself
says the stadium will have unavoidable sig-
nicant impacts, including nearly 20,000
additional car trips downtown on weekends.
Leiweke said he was condent that the mit-
igation plans could deal with the upsurge and
even the crush from a Super Bowl, noting that
365,000 people currently travel in and out of
downtown every day.
We can do that on a Sunday for 68,000
people, he said. We can do this. We just
have to teach people and reward them for
using mass transportation.
One idea would be to give mass transit users
rst crack at tickets, he said.

The Giantssuccess in 2012 will depend on Buster Poseys health and bat.
As ready to resume season
By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND By the time
Oakland gets through its rst eight
games, the Athletics will already
have faced Mariners ace Felix
Hernandez three times.
Its a crazy schedule that began
with these two clubs facing off in
their rst two games last week in
Japan, with each winning once
including King Felixs Game 1
victory at the Tokyo Dome.
Now, the AL West rivals resume
their season-opening series stateside
albeit eight days later. Its a non-
traditional two-game series Friday
and Saturday. Then, the As travel to
Seattle next weekend for a three-
game series at Safeco Field in the
Mariners home opener.
Yes, the Mariners and As will
know each other inside and out by
mid-April.
Its a little weird playing so
many games, then weve got their
home opener, too, Oakland catcher
Kurt Suzuki said. Weve got like
nine games in the rst two weeks.
Thats part of scheduling, but
theyre in our division so were
going to see them a lot.
Seattle manager Eric Wedge even
swapped his starters for this week-
end to move Hernandez to Saturday
and Jason Vargas to Friday so
Hernandez is lined up to also pitch
the Mariners home opener April 13.
Hes the ace, Hernandez joked
of Vargas.
This situation is also unique for
these clubs given they opened the
regular season last week only to
return for more exhibition games
before they reunite in the Bay Area.
These two clubs will certainly
know each other well by mid-April.
Once weve ended up seeing
them it will be like Good riddance,
I think (for) both sides, As manag-
er Bob Melvin said. I see where
they ip-opped their starters and
well see Felix over at their place
again. Well see him three times in
the rst I dont know how many
games of the season. We have to
step up and beat him. Until we do
that, we can complain about it all we
want. We just have to go out there,
and if were going to be a good team
were going to have to beat good
pitching. So we get tested early on
with him.
Both teams could use strong per-
formances over the rst month if
they want to stay in the chase in a
division featuring the two-time
reigning AL champion Texas
Rangers and Albert Pujols and the
Los Angeles Angels.
Its been a very good offensive
spring for us, Wedge said. Its a
big step to move in the right direc-
tion.
New As center fielder Yoenis
Cespedes has no idea if he will draw
a standing ovation in his home debut
for the As.
He sure hopes so. Melvin is
counting on it.
But if not, the highly touted
Cuban defector plans to prove
myself and earn that at some point
during his rookie season after sign-
ing a $36 million, four-year contract
early last month in Oaklands
biggest splash of the offseason.
I hope to please the Oakland fans
and please myself, Cespedes said.
Im sure I will earn it.
Cespedes batting practice has
quickly become a not-to-miss event
that some are already saying is the
most entertaining in these parts
since the days of home run king
Barry Bonds.
Cespedes has quickly shown the
immediate impact he might have as
a rookie. The As outbid the Marlins
and others to land the 26-year-old
Cespedes, who starred for Cuba in
the 2009 World Baseball Classic
and hit .458 with two home runs and
ve RBIs in six games.
He plans to be patient as he makes
the difcult adjustment to major
league pitching.
Every player needs to have
patience for things to go his way,
Cespedes said. Im going to need
patience not only for the rst month
but for the whole season.
Both teams are returning to more
normal routines after the long trip
home and jet lag that has now sub-
sided for most.
Japan, all the adrenalin, a lot of
people, opening day, it was crazy,
Hernandez said. I loved it.
It was Oaklands second such trip
to Tokyo since 2009, when the As
opened against the Boston Red Sox.
West champs are first
PHOENIX The game between
the San Francisco Giants and
Arizona Diamondbacks has just
about everything a season opener
needs.
Rivals that expect to contend send
a pair of the National Leagues best
pitchers to the mound two-time
Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum for
San Francisco and Ian Kennedy, 21-
4 with a 2.88 ERA in a breakout sea-
son a year ago, for Arizona.
A capacity crowd at Chase Field
will watch Friday evenings nation-
ally televised contest, the opener of
a three-game set that Lincecum says
is not just any old series.
Arizona clinched the NL West
with a victory last Sept. 23 over a
San Francisco team that was coming
off a World Series championship in
2010.
The Giants remember watching
that celebration.
Its one of those things to maybe
get some redemption early on if it
falls that way, but its still early on
in the season to the point where
were going to run into them a
bunch of times, Lincecum said.
Its not do or die but its something
where we want to make a state-
ment.
Lincecum is coming off the rst
losing season of his major league
career at 13-14, but he had a better
ERA than Kennedy at 2.74. Against
the Diamondbacks, though, the San
Francisco ace had big trouble.
In four starts against Arizona, he
was 0-3 with a 4.32 ERA. Kennedy,
on the other hand, was 3-0 with a
1.22 ERA in ve starts against San
Francisco.
Kennedy is Arizonas season-
opening pitcher for the second year
in a row and he wants to avoid the
games hype as much as possible.
Because its against the Giants,
at home, it is going to be a little bit
more for our players, Kennedy
said. For myself, I will try to keep
it at a minimum. For myself, it is
that rst inning and trying to get
through the rst. I like pitching nice
and cool and calm.
Daily Journal Take
The recipe for success in 2012
isnt a complicated one: For the
Giants to make it back to the
playoffs, theyre going to have to
hit. And the good news is, that
after a historically bad offensive
season, San Francisco can do
nothing but improve.
The Giants 570 runs scored
were the lowest by a defending
World Series champion in Major
League history. Consider that, in
games in which the Giants scored
three or more runs, their record
was 55-9. Yet they were only able
to reach the magic number in 40
percent of their games.
So, whats it going to take?
Well, the Giants need to get on
base and they need to drive those
runners in. San Francisco was
15th in the National League last
season in OPS (on-base plus
slugging).
For the on-base portion, they
went out and acquired Melky
Cabrera and Angel Pagan, a pair
of outelders with a reputation
for getting on base. Theyre hop-
ing that Emanuel Burriss, who
will start for an injured Freddy
Sanchez early on, and Brandon
Crawford, can get on base at a
decent clip at the bottom of the
order.
For the slugging, San
Franciscos biggest acquisition
was the recuperation of Buster
Posey, their franchise catcher.
But theyll need a bounce-back
year from Aubrey Huff, another
All-Star campaign from Pablo
Sandoval and for Brandon Belt to
take the next step to stardom.

Westwood leads at Masters
By Doug Ferguson
AUGUSTA, Ga. With his words
and then his play, Lee Westwood shot
down the notion Thursday that this
Masters was a two-horse race.
On a busy opening day at Augusta
National that featured mud, a little
rain and a snowman on the nal hole
for Henrik Stenson, Westwood pro-
vided a steady hand Thursday with
seven birdies for a 5-under 67 that
gave him a one-shot lead.
It was the rst time Westwood has
led after the opening round of a
major, though that was little comfort.
Louis Oosthuizen made four birdies
over the last ve holes for a 68, while
Peter Hanson of Sweden made six
birdies for his 68. Bubba Watson,
blasting tee shots with his pink driver,
was among six players at 69.
Westwood had said it would be
naive for anyone to think this major
was only about Tiger Woods and
Rory McIlroy.
Those two horses were happy to
still be in the running.
Woods took two penalty shots, hit
three tee shots that rattled the pines
and was thrilled to make bogey on his
last hole for a 72, the rst time since
2008 that he failed to break par in the
opening round of the Masters.
I had some of the worst golf
swings Ive ever hit today, Woods
said.
McIlroy opened with a double
bogey, though his big moment was on
the 10th hole. A year ago, thats
where his Sunday collapse began
with a hooked tee shot into the cabins
for a triple bogey. This time, he
pushed a 3-wood into the trees on the
other side and managed a par.
That was a bit of an improvement
from the last time I played it,
McIlroy said.
Better yet was a birdie-birdie n-
ish, including a 15-foot putt from the
fringe on the 18th that gave him a 71,
making him one of 28 players who
broke par and were within four shots
of the lead. It was huge, McIlroy
said. I didnt feel like I had my best
out there. To nish under par for the
day, Im very pleased.
Along with Woods smiling after a
72, three-time Masters champion Phil
Mickelson was delighted with a 74.
He sprayed tee shots all over the
course, including one so far left on
the 10th into bushes he didnt know
existed that he never found his ball.
Mickelson made a triple bogey there,
then spent the rest of the back nine
scrambling for his life.

Value in a luxury sedan: Lexus LS
By Ann M. Job
With a starting retail price of $68,505, the
2012 Lexus LS sedan is bargain-priced com-
pared to European competitors.
The agship sedan of the luxury Lexus line,
the roomy, comfortable, V-8-powered LS also
is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports
magazine, where this four-door auto is rated
above average in reliability.
And the luxury-swathed, ve-passenger LS
is notable for its many large, well-labeled and
well-arranged buttons and controls that allow
a driver to operate the sound system and
heater/air conditioner directly, without having
to go through a menu of selections on a dis-
play screen.
Yet, the LS isnt old school. Its just one of
the best in the luxury sedan class at providing
both old and new, easy-to-understand inter-
faces for drivers to adjust things they tune fre-
quently.
There is no frustrating BMW-like i-Drive
system here, nor a confusing Audi-like scroll-
ing half circle of selections for car settings.
Still, while the LS is a ne highway cruiser,
it lags V-8 competitors in engine power.
Starting manufacturers suggested retail
price, including destination charge, is $68,505
for a 2012 LS 460 with rear-wheel drive, 380-
horsepower V-8 and regular length of 16.6
feet. With all-wheel drive, the 2012 LS 460
has a starting MSRP, including destination
charge, of $70,810. A 2012 LS 460 L, which
stretches to 17 feet in length, has a starting
retail price of $74,050. With all-wheel drive,
the 460 L starts at $76,355.

Behind the wheel
By David McHugh
FRANKFURT, Germany The
Porsche 911, with its sloping roof line,
long hood and powerful rear engine, has
been a sports car-lovers fantasy for the
half century since its 1963 introduction.
Its creator, Ferdinand Alexander
Porsche, grandson of the automakers
founder, is dead at age 76.
Porsche died Thursday in Salzburg,
Austria, Porsche AG said Thursday. No
cause was provided.
Known as F.A. to his colleagues,
Porsche headed the companys design
studio in the early 1960s when it needed
a replacement for its first car, the
Porsche 356. He came up with some-
thing sleek, ruthlessly stripped of deco-
ration, and packing a six-cylinder engine
where the 356 had a four-cylinder. Its a
combination that the company has
evolved instead of replacing and which
turns on car enthusiasts even today.
The 911, now in its seventh version,
remains recognizably the same vehicle,
though with much updated mechanical
Ferdinand Porsche, 911 sports car designer, dies

In comparison, the starting MSRP, includ-
ing destination charge, for a 2012 Mercedes-
Benz S550 with 429-horsepower V-8 and
standard all-wheel drive is $95,375, or some
$24,500 more than a base, all-wheel drive LS
460. The 2012 BMW 750i with 400-horse-
power V-8 starts at $86,195, or some $17,600
more than an LS.
The major price competitor to the LS is
Hyundais rear-wheel drive 2012 Equus,
which has a 429-horsepower V-8 and a start-
ing retail price of $59,900. Note that while the
Equus comes with standard luxury features, it
does not carry a luxury badge.
Lexus, whose parent company is Toyota,
struggled last year with car supplies
because of the Japan earthquake and tsuna-
mi. As a result, after 11 years as best-sell-
ing luxury brand in the United States,
Lexus last year fell behind BMW. And LS
sales so far in calendar 2012 are down some
30 percent from a year ago.
The car didnt receive major changes for the
2012 model year.
But the LS is back to its roots as a value-
based competitor to the European luxury cars.
The test LS 460 showed how it can make
buyers feel at home who enjoy an environ-
ment free from intimidating, overwhelming
technology.
The interior of the LS test car included wide
front seats that were stylized and shaped as
sport seats. They were fatigue-reducing rest-
ing spots that provided good support without
being hard, and the range of power adjust-
ments made them adaptable to both short and
tall passengers.
Gauges were easy to understand and well
illuminated, even in daylight. There was noth-
ing gimmicky or distracting about them.
Controls on the center of the dashboard on
down to the center console were a pleasant
mix of large buttons and good-sized displays
and were arranged in a coherent way.
For example, driver and front passenger
could readily nd the respective temperature
controls and tune the radio without fuss.
Having listened to the Mark Levinson audio
system available on the LS before, though, I
would have preferred to have it in the test car.
Instead, sounds came through a premium, 10-
speaker system that worked ne but didnt
quite have the crispness and amazing clarity
of the Levinson system.
All seams on the seats and gaps on the metal
car body as well as between interior trim
pieces were perfectly aligned for exceptional
t and nish on the test car.
The ride was compliant in normal suspen-
sion mode, so riders didnt feel much of the
road and bumps came through as only mild
vibrations.
There was a mild amount of road feel from
the optional summer tires that were 19-inchers
on attractive, 10-spoke alloy wheels.
But the sensations dialed up when the sus-
pension setting was moved to sport mode, and
passengers readily could notice the ride was
stiffer and bumps more pronounced.
This was part of an optional sport package
that added paddle shifters inside for quick
shifting, sans clutch pedal, of the eight-speed
automatic transmission.
The more than 4,200-pound LS also stiff-
ened a bit in corners and turns while in sport
mode, but it still felt like a good-sized,
weighty auto in emergency maneuvers.
The 4.6-liter, four-cam V-8 delivers strong,
but not unnerving, power, and it comes
through smoothly. It was normal for the car to
glide forward, rather than roar forward, in
serene and rened fashion.
The V-8 tops out at 367 foot-pounds at
4,100 rpm, so 0-to-60 miles an hour takes 6.4
seconds, which is about a second slower than
higher-powered V-8 cars like the S550.
Premium gasoline is required in the LSs
22.2-gallon tank, so a llup at todays prices is
above $90.
In the test drive, which was half city driving
and half on highways, the LS managed 18.9
mpg.
The ofcial U.S. government fuel economy
rating for the LS 460 is 16 mpg in the city and
24 mpg on highways.
This compares with 15/25 mpg for the more
powerful 2012 Mercedes S550 and 15/22 mpg
for the more powerful 2012 BMW 750i.
There is a higher mileage version of LS. Its
a gasoline-electric hybrid LS rated at 19/23
mpg. Starting retail price for this model is
$113,625.

parts and technology. The new version was
mobbed and groped when it was unveiled in
September at the Frankfurt auto show.
Showgoers left the doors and roof smeared
with ngerprints as they scrambled for a
chance to sit behind the wheel.
The new car was originally designated the
901, but the number was changed because
French competitor Peugeot claimed a patent
on car names formed with a zero in the mid-
dle.
Manny Alban, president of the 106,000-
member Porsche Club of America and owner
of two 1990 911s, compares the design to the
Coca-Cola bottle an outline thats instantly
familiar even to people who are not auto
enthusiasts.
Its a car that has evolved since 1963 quite
gracefully, he said, adding that although the
latest version has Porsche Carrera S on the
rear end, a lot of people would say you dont
need that because a Porsche enthusiast would
say you can look at it and know its a 911.
Its very German. Everything has a pur-
pose, every button, it all makes sense, there
are no gizmos. You wont look back 20 years
later and say why did they put that on there.
Porsche CEO Matthias Mueller paid tribute
to the 911 creator, saying in a statement that
he founded a culture of design in our compa-
ny that distinguishes our sports cars even
today.
Porsche was the son of former Porsche
Chairman Ferry Porsche, who died in 1998,
and the grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, who
started the company as a design and engineer-
ing rm in the 1930s.
Born in Stuttgart on Dec. 11, 1935, F.A.
Porsche was initiated into the family business
while still a boy, spending time in his grandfa-
thers workshops and design facilities. He
studied at the Ulm School of Design and
joined the company in 1958, taking over the
design studio in 1962.
Porsche left the operational part of the com-
pany with other family members in the early
1970s, and in 1972 founded a design business,
Porsche Design Studio, where he created eye-
glasses, watches and pens.
As a designer, he stressed function over dec-
oration. A formally coherent product needs
no decoration, it should be elevated through
pure form, he once said.
He served as chairman of Porsche AG from
1990 to 1993 and helped steer the family rm
through a crisis as sales plunged in the late
1980s under pressure from global competition
and a strong German mark that hindered
exports.
Under his chairmanship, the company
brought in a new CEO, Wendelin Wiedeking,
who is credited with turning the company
around.
Porsche was to be buried in a private cere-
mony in the chapel at Schuettgut, the Porsche
familys estate in Zell am See, Austria.

HELENA, Mont. Three Cups of Tea
author Greg Mortenson mismanaged the non-
prot organization he co-founded to build
schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan and spent
millions of dollars of charity money on char-
ter flights, family vacations and personal
items, according to an investigative report
r e l e a s e d
Thursday.
Mor t e ns ons
control of the
Central Asia
Institute went
largely unchal-
lenged by its
board of direc-
tors, which con-
sisted of himself
and two people
loyal to him, the
report prepared
by the Montana
A t t o r n e y
Generals office said. When an employee
would question his practices, Mortenson
either resisted or ignored the person, the report
found.
The result was a lack of nancial accounta-
bility in which large amounts of cash sent
overseas were never accounted for. Itemized
expenses listed as program-related were miss-
ing supporting receipts and documentation.
Employees and family members charged
items such as health club dues and gifts to CAI
credit cards.
Mortenson himself reaped nancial benets
at the expense of the Central Asia Institute,
including the free promotion of Three Cups
of Tea and his later book, Stones Into
Schools, and the royalties from thousands of
copies CAI bought to donate to libraries,
schools, churches and military personnel, the
report said.
Mortenson must reimburse the charity more
than $1 million under a settlement agreement.
Nearly half has already been repaid.
The books came under scrutiny last year
when reports by 60 Minutes and author Jon
Krakauer alleged that Mortenson fabricated
parts of both and that he beneted nancially
from the charity. The attorney generals probe

If any lm should be redone
in 3-D, its Titanic. And if
any lmmaker should be the
one doing the redoing, its
James Cameron.
Hes been a pioneer in
advancing this cinematic tech-
nology for years now, from
his underwater documentaries
to the record-breaking jugger-
naut that is Avatar. And so
ironically, for a lm that has-
nt got an ounce of understate-
ment in its three-hour-plus
running time, Titanic in 3-D
is really rather subtle and ne-
ly tuned. Theres nothing gim-
micky about the conversion
process; its immersive, it
actually enhances the viewing
experience the way a third
dimension ideally should.
Its also gorgeous: crisp and
tactile, warm and inviting
until all hell breaks loose, that
is. So often when 2-D lms
Titanic sails again
James Camerons re-release stays afloat with help of 3-D

Youll have no trouble enticing
the kids to get involved in this easy
and tasty part of Easter dinner prep.
Weve combined a blend of
crunchy cereals and noodles with a
deliciously sticky blend of choco-
late, marshmallow and peanut butter
to create edible nests in which the
little ones can store their chocolate
eggs and jelly beans (assuming
those treats stick around long
enough to be stored).
The process is simple just melt
together the butter, marshmallows,
peanut butter and chocolate, then
stir in the dry ingredients. After that,
let the children set to work shaping
their nests.
Just note this is a messy proj-
ect. So you might want to do it
before the kids get into their Easter
best. Also, to make it a little less
messy, lightly coat the kids (or
your) hands with cooking spray.
The nished nests can be stored
in plastic bags at room temperature
for up to a week.
CHOCOLATE BUNNY NESTS
Start to nish: 20 minutes (plus
cooling time)
Makes 20 small nests
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
10-ounce package mini marsh-
mallows
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
6 ounces semisweet chocolate
bits
2 cups thin chow mein noodles
1 1/2 cups square corn cereal,
such as Corn Chex
2 cups crispy rice cereal, such as
Rice Krispies
Line a baking sheet with waxed
paper.
In a large saucepan over medium-
low heat, melt the butter. Add the
marshmallows, peanut butter and
chocolate bits. Stir continuously
until completely melted and blend-
ed.
Remove the pan from the heat and
stir in the chow mein noodles, corn
cereal and rice cereal. Allow the
mixture to cool until safe to handle.
For small nests, scoop by the
tablespoonful onto the prepared
baking sheet. For larger nests, use
about 1/2 cup. Use your thumb or
the back of a spoon (coated with
cooking spray) to create an indenta-
tion at the center of each mound to
form a nest. Allow to nish cool-
ing until rm.

PHOTOGRAPHY IN MEXI-
CO: SELECTED WORKS
FROM THE COLLECTIONS
OF SFMOMA AND DANIEL
GREENBERG AND SUSAN
STAINHAUSER. The San
Francisco Museum of Modern Art
invites you to explore the rich tra-
dition of photography in Mexico
by enjoying the works both of
important Mexican photographers
and of major American and
European artists who found
Mexico to be a place of inspira-
tion.
Photography in Mexico:
Selected Works from the
Collections of SFMOMA and
Daniel Greenberg and Susan
Steinhauser begins with the rst
artistic owering of photography
in Mexico after the Mexican
Revolution (19101920), looks at
the Mexican illustrated press at
midcentury, and reviews the docu-
mentary investigations of cultural
traditions and urban politics in the
1970s and 1980s. More recent
photographic considerations
encompass contemporary interna-
tional photographers perspectives
on U.S.-Mexico border issues.
Mark Klett, Victoria Sambunaris
and Alec Soth consider the border
as landscape, while works by Elsa
Medina, Susan Meiselas and Paolo
Pellegrin document the experi-
ences of migrant workers and oth-
ers trying, successfully or unsuc-
cessfully, to cross into the United
States. Photography in Mexico
also features photographs by key
Mexican photographers, including
Lola Alvarez Bravo, Manuel
Alvarez Bravo, Manuel Carrillo,
Hctor Garcia, Lourdes Grobet,
Graciela Iturbide, Enrique
Metinides, Pedro Meyer, Pablo
Ortiz Monasterio and Mariana
Yampolsky, along with works
made in Mexico by Tina Modotti,
Paul Strand and Edward Weston.
SFMOMA Assistant Curator of
Photography Jessica S. McDonald,
who organized the exhibit, said,
In my role as a curator I have the
opportunity of asking questions of
our collection-new questions that
we have never asked before in such
a comprehensive way. Some of
these questions are asked for very
practical reasons: in this case we
were offered a very generous gift
of Mexican photography from col-
lectors Daniel Greenberg and
Susan Steinhauser, the kind of gift
that requires us to do an inventory
of our current holdings. But the
very simple question What do we
have, quickly turned into What
can we learn, and What stories
can we tell, and these are the
questions I wish to explore with
this exhibition. On Thursday,
April 12, at 6:30 p.m., McDonald
speaks on Enrique Metinidess
Rescate de un ahogado en
Xochimilco con pblico reejado
en el agua. Visitors should meet
McDonald in the Haas Atrium
before moving into the galleries.
Her talk, free after museum admis-
sion, will last approximately 20
minutes.

ARTHUR TRESS: SAN
FRANCISCO 1964. In 1964, San
Francisco was ground zero for a
historic culture clash as the site of
both the 28th Republican National
Convention (the Goldwater
Convention) and the launch of the
Beatles rst North American tour.
At the same time, civil rights
demonstrations directed against
the hiring practices of the automo-
bile dealers on Van Ness Avenue
garnered national attention. New
Yorker Arthur Tress, now a notable
American photographer known for
his staged surrealism and exposi-
tion of the human body, was then a
23-year-old fresh out of college. In
San Francisco to visit his sister,
Tress used his Rolleiex camera to
document what was to him a very
foreign city, but one well suited to
his quirky sensibilities. San

Tresss San Francisco photographs
since they were briey shown in

are transformed into 3-D, theyre done so
hastily with results that are murky and
inaccessible. Cameron clearly took his
time here 60 weeks, to be exact, with a
team of 300 people working on a frame-
by-frame reconstruction to add the illu-
sion of depth. So while the romantic rst
half of the lm remains more emotionally
compelling, the disastrous second half has
become even more visually dazzling.
If youre going to devote an afternoon to
Titanic again, you want to feel as if
youre on that boat when it snaps in half.
And you will.
No, Cameron didnt rewrite the ending,
or history. The maiden voyage of the
R.M.S. Titanic still goes down after a fate-
ful collision with an iceberg. As writer and
director, Cameron has stayed true to the
content of his 1997 lm, the winner of 11
Oscars including best picture and that
includes his clunky script lled with
hokey dialogue and broad characters. No
amount of 3-D wizardry can make Billy
Zanes villainous millionaire leap off the
screen and seem like a fully eshed-out
human being, but his mustache-twirling
machinations are still amusing.
What also remains intact is the earnest-
ness of Titanic, the absence of snark or
irony, and the sensation that youre watch-
ing a big, ambitious, good-old-fashioned
spectacle that can withstand the test of
time. Sure, a lot of the present-day
framing device material looks dated
thats a sweet mullet and earring youve
got there, Bill Paxton but the budding,
forbidden love affair between Leonardo
DiCaprio and Kate Winslet is as infectious
as ever.
Lets recap the plot real quickly:
Paxtons character and his crew are
exploring the underwater remains of the
shipwrecked Titanic looking for the rare,
priceless Heart of the Ocean pendant. Its
original owner, Rose (Gloria Stuart),
whos now about 100 years old, comes
forward to say it belonged to her and share
her story of survival.
Flashback to April 1912, and the launch
of the worlds biggest and most expensive
cruise ship, one thats supposedly unsink-
able. Young, well-bred Rose (Winslet) is
on board with her smarmy, controlling
anci Cal (Zane) and her condescending,
old-money mother (Frances Fisher). But
so is the poor but resourceful artist Jack
(DiCaprio), whos made his way onto the
ship with a winning poker hand. Rose is
more free-thinking than she looks, Jack is
more charismatic than he looks, and in no
time hes sketching her naked and theyre
doing it in the back seat of a car in the
cargo hold.
Were condensing a bit here.
Anyway, you know the story by now,
but the 3-D actually makes it seem new in
some ways. The costumes look more
rened, the sense of vertigo feels more
severe, the rushing water feels more
immediate. And its just fun to see the
buxom, feisty Winslet and boyish, charm-
ing DiCaprio in the roles that made them
superstars on the big screen once more.
Thats another thing: If youre going to
see Titanic in 3-D, see it with people
who loved the movie the rst time; I have
to admit I was not one of them back then
but found myself surprisingly more
engaged this time around. Its so familiar,
so full of lines and moments that are
ingrained in the culture, its just begging
for Rocky Horror Picture Show-style
interactions. Take DiCaprios joyous
exclamation Im the king of the world!
for example. You know its coming but its
just so tantalizing, you may feel com-
pelled to shout it along with him.
TITANIC
focused only on the charitys nances and operations, and did
not examine the books contents.
The yearlong investigation concluded that the Central Asia
Institute took in far more donations than it spent, and with $23
million in reserves, it still has a strong nancial outlook. But
the charity needs better oversight so that too much control is
not in one persons hands, the audit found.
Mortensons pursuits are noble and his achievements are
important. However, serious internal problems in the manage-
ment of CAI surfaced, Attorney General Steve Bullock said in
the report. Despite the severity of their errors, CAI is worth
saving.
Mortenson was permanently removed as CAIs executive
director in November. Central Asia Institute Interim Executive
Director Anne Beyersdorfer told the Associated Press that
Mortenson will continue to work as a paid employee of the
charity, but he will no longer serve on its board of directors
unless the new board brings him on as a non-voting member.
Mortenson, who had heart surgery last year, will not contin-
ue his former breakneck pace in promoting the books and CAI
projects at home and abroad, but he will still be the charitys
public face and work to build relationships overseas, she said.
Hes the heart and soul of the organization, Beyersdorfer
said. Hes the co-founder and I think we all think of him as
our chief inspiration ofcer.
Mortenson declined to comment because of a still-pending
civil lawsuit led in Montana challenging the claims in his
books, she said.
A settlement agreement signed by Mortenson, CAI and the
attorney generals ofce said Mortenson will be barred from
being a voting member of the board and from holding any
position of nancial oversight as long as he is employed by the
charity.

WEEKEND JOURNAL 23

MILLBRAE I
recently attended a
family funeral in
Southern California.
The burial took
place at a long
established Catholic
Cemetery which
later decided to build a Mortuary facility on
their property. I knew from past experience
that this cemetery was well maintained and
had a good reputation. The immediate
family had other loved-ones buried at the
cemetery and wished to return this time too.
With the knowledge that this cemetery had a
Mortuary on the grounds they trusted it to be
convenient and decided to have this facility
handle the funeral arrangements.
Prior to the funeral I had some phone
contact with the Mortuary staff and saw
nothing out of the ordinary. But soon after I
spoke to family members who relayed
troubling details such as higher than average
costs, questionable service and other
apprehensions that raised a red-fag. I
listened carefully taking into consideration
that funerals and arrangements may be
conducted differently in Southern California
(as compared to here on the Peninsula).
Later though I discovered that these
concerns and others were all valid as I
experienced them myself during the funeral.
Coming from the background of owning
a family run and community supportive
funeral home I was embarrassed at what I
saw as a production line process with little
compassion or time to care for the families
this Mortuary is supposed to be serving.
I wondered how the Catholic Church
could allow this Mortuary to operate in such
a manner? Well, I did some research and
discovered that the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles has mortuaries located on a
number of their cemetery properties, but
does not operate them. According to the
Funeral Consumers Alliance of Southern
California the Archdiocese has an
arrangement with Stewart Enterprises
which is a New Orleans based mortuary
corporation. Stewart Enterprises runs a
website called Catholic Mortuaries.com
giving a misleading impression to many that
the Catholic Church operates these facilities.
When patronizing one of these
mortuaries on Catholic cemetery grounds
most families assume that they will be
receiving a level of comfort as they would
from their local church or parish priest.
None of this was evident during my
experience of extremely high costs
(compared to what was received) and the
dis-interested service provided by the
mortuary staff. I dont see this as a failing
of the Catholic cemetery, but of those in
charge of running this mortuary.
The point Im trying to make is to do
your homework and shop for a Funeral
establishment you are comfortable with.
Just because a Mortuary is located on
cemetery property doesnt mean they are
your only choice or that they offer fair costs
or give better quality ofservice. You have
the right to select what ever funeral home
you wish to conduct the arrangements. Talk
to various funeral directors, and ask friends
and families who they would recommend.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

LOS ANGELES Its been
stuck in my head for weeks like a
psychotic episode: My Heart Will
Go On, Celine Dions big, bombas-
tic ballad from Titanic. Now that
James Cameron has nally released
the 3-D redo of his 1997 shipwreck
epic the winner of 11 Academy
Awards, including best original
song it still wont go away. It
goes on ... and on ...
But were all about turning a neg-
ative into a positive around here, so
were using this as an opportunity to
talk about ve other great winners
of the best original song Oscar.
There are dozens to choose from so
youll have some favorites of your
own, but these are sure to keep you
humming along:
Over the Rainbow from
The Wizard of Oz (1939):
One of the greatest songs ever
from one of the greatest movies
ever. A favorite from childhood
thats just as moving for grown-ups,
its full of girlish innocence and
melancholy longing. Written by
Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg, its
been copied and covered endlessly
by singers ranging from Frank
Sinatra to Kylie Minogue. Sam
Harris became a minor star by belt-
ing out a soaring version of it on
Star Search in the mid-80s, and
Katharine McPhee made it one of
her signature tunes on American
Idol. But of course it will always
belong to Judy Garland. She per-
forms it early in the lm when shes
still a naive farm girl, before all the
tornadic activity and house-drop-
ping that inspire her journey down
the yellow brick road.
When You Wish Upon a
Starfrom Pinocchio(1940):
A personal choice, since this is
the song my mother supposedly
sang to me when I was a baby. Or so
goes the lore I was too young to
remember. Written by Leigh
Harline and Ned Washington and
sung by Cliff Edwards in the voice
of perky sidekick Jiminy Cricket,
this is probably the greatest song
ever to come from a Disney animat-
ed movie. Its certainly the most
identiable with the studio, since it
plays along with the logo before
every Disney lm. Its hopeful and
earnest and unabashedly sentimen-
tal. And like the song that inspired
this weeks list, this one will really
get stuck in your head. It also pro-
vided inspiration for one of the
more daring episodes of Family
Guy, titled When You Wish Upon
a Weinstein.
Moon River from
Breakfast at Tiffanys(1961):
When Audrey Hepburn sings it
alone on the fire escape of her
Manhattan apartment, its intimate,
sweet and plaintive, an indication of
the insecure woman looking for
love that she tries to suppress
through her glamorous persona and
wild nights. When it swells during
the lms climactic conclusion in
an alley in the pouring rain, as
Hepburn nds the cat she cast aside
and clutches it to her chest while
giving George Peppard a passionate
kiss its heartbreaking. I cry
every time in a matter of seconds.
Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer
they did not screw around.
(Chevy Chase also felt prompted to
belt out this song during an espe-
cially thorough doctors exam in
Fletch.)
Theme From Shaft (1971):
Hes a bad mother ... so how do
you NOT choose this song among
the top ve? It has such great ener-
gy and is such a fabulously funky
reection of its time: the horns, the
driving chicka-chicka, the staccato
strings. Isaac Hayes is at his
smooth, soulful best here, crooning
lyrics that seemed so racy in their
day about Richard Roundtrees
character, the black private dick
thats a sex machine to all the
chicks. This was a bold pick from
the Academy, and it made Hayes the
first black person to win an
Academy Award outside of the act-
ing categories. Can you dig it?
Lose Yourself
from 8 Mile (2002):
So damn catchy. Such vivid visu-
als. And so crucial to the story as an
exploration of the main characters
fears and ambitions. Who knows
whether Eminem can actually act,
but he did a great job of playing a
version of himself here in Curtis
Hansons drama about an aspiring
rapper battling his demons as he
struggles to make it out of his work-
ing-class Detroit neighborhood. I
love what an unconventional choice
this was for the Academy (and I
pondered Its Hard Out Here for a
Pimp from Hustle & Flow as one
of my ve selections this week for
the same reason). And I think its
hilarious that forever more, we can
describe Eminem as Academy
Award winner Marshall Mathers.

Quiche often graces the table of
Easter brunches, but everything
thats good about quiche happens
to be whats not good for us.
Its rich. Its creamy. Its filled
with cheese. And then there is the
crust. The buttery crust that holds it
all together is not so great for the
body. So we decided to do a little
remake.
The easy thing to reach for is the
frittata. Like an oven-baked omelet,
frittatas are easy and puffy and can
be filled with lots of delicious
ingredients. The only problem is
that traditional frittatas are made
without a crust. We wanted a crust.
We also wanted at least some of the
creaminess that makes a quiche,
well, a quiche.
For the crust, we opted for a layer
of shredded potatoes. They crisp
nicely, adding that starchiness that
the crust provides, but little of the
fat.
For the creamy texture, we went
with fat-free half-and-half and eggs
studded with lean ham, asparagus,
shallots and a touch of gruyere
cheese. You can swap out whatever
you like for your fillings, but be
sure the ingredients are cooked
before they go in.
EASTER FRITTATA
Start to finish: 30 minutes
Servings: 8
1 cup chopped asparagus (1-inch
lengths)
4 egg whites
2 whole eggs
1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half
Salt and ground black pepper
1/4 cup shredded gruyere cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 shallots, sliced
3/4 cup diced smoked ham
2 cups shredded frozen hash
brown potatoes, thawed
Heat the oven to 400 F. Fill a
medium bowl with ice water.
Bring a medium saucepan of
water to a boil. Add the asparagus
and blanch for 3 minutes, or until
just tender. Use a slotted spoon to
remove the asparagus from the
boiling water and immediately
transfer to the ice water. Once the
asparagus is cool, drain and set
aside.
In a blender, combine the egg
whites, whole eggs, fat-free half-
and-half, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4
teaspoon pepper. Blend until
smooth. Stir in the shredded
gruyere.
In a nonstick, oven-safe skillet
(cast iron works great) over medi-
um, heat the oil. Add the shallots
and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until
soft. Add the ham, asparagus and
the blended egg mixture. Stir for 1
minute, or until the egg just starts
to set up.
Sprinkle the shredded potatoes
over the top and sprinkle with salt
and black pepper. Bake for 5 min-
utes on the ovens center rack, or
until the eggs are set. Increase the
oven to broil and cook for another 5
to 7 minutes, or until the potatoes
are crisp and lightly browned.

now-defunct Mountain View nightclub
in the early 2000s whose owner sued the
city for $13 million after it revised its
conditional use permit. The city chose
that route rather than revoking the per-
mit after a brutal beating and the owner
argued the revised conditions led to its
downfall. The city prevailed in the suit
but incurred considerable legal fees.
Duncan said the report reaches new
heights in killing his project through
bogus numbers and comparisons to
cities with completely different demo-
graphics and criminal activity.
San Carlos granted Duncan a parking
exemption last year but, before the
Planning Commission made its decision,
Sheriffs Capt. Greg Rothaus, head of
the San Carlos Patrol Bureau, recom-
mended denial out of worry theat
expanded space means more safety
problems. In making his argument,
Rothaus reported 131 incidents from the
club; a later breakdown by the Sheriffs
Ofce showed that 69 were spot checks
initiated by deputies and seven were
more specifically alcohol-related like
driving while under the inuence.
Duncan said he looks at numbers
reported by First Chance, the countys
jail alternative for motorists arrested for
DUIs, which shows that between July 1,
2010 and June 30, 2011, 2 percent or
less of such cases are linked to the
Carlos Club even with weekend check-
points.
They caught a veried 10 people in a
12-month survey. That is a lot of shing
to catch only 10 people, Duncan wrote
in an email.
Responding to an anticipated increase
in impacts because of the expansion
would hinder the citys ability to provide
an appropriate level of service to the
entire community, Savay wrote.
Other concerns raised by commission-
ers and public speakers at prior hearings
included noise and how patrons will line
up to enter the club. An acoustic study
found the existing club complies with
noise guidelines with the front door
closed and that a new patio would also t
within the restrictions with acoustic
music only.
On the other hand, several speakers
also commended Duncans makeover of
the club and said adding food to the
alcohol menu would help keep problems
at bay.
The permit approved by the Planning
Commission includes conditions limit-
ing non-amplied music to the patio,
requiring on-site security and a one-year
review.
The appeal by a council rather than a
member of the public was unusual and
not unanimous. Councilmen Matt
Grocott and Bob Grassilli were in the
minority, saying they did not like the
precedent set by the council calling for a
review. Grocott suggested revisiting the
clubs conditional use permit at the end
of a year but others said that would cre-
ate a new challenge to revoke once
issued in part because the proposed patio
will have already been constructed.
On Monday, the Planning
Commission discussed naming a repre-
sentative to formally represent the body
at the upcoming hearing but ultimately
decided against doing so.
Commissioners can still attend and
speak as private residents.
Although Grassilli did not support the
appeal, he said that is not necessarily
indicative of how he will vote Monday
night.
For me, those are separate, Grassilli
said.
Grassilli said he still needs to digest
all of the Planning Commissions prior
staff reports and actions along with hear-
ing any testimony at the meeting before
making a nal decision.
Councilman Ron Collins, who did
support the appeal because he felt the
issue was not properly vetted by the
Planning Commission, also said his
mind is not yet made up.
Im pretty pro-business so Im really
looking for a reason to vote for it but I
dont know yet what Ill nd, Collins
said. I never want to be in a position to
hinder business development but theres
a lot of serious issues here.

destroyed 40 homes, PG&E has pro-
posed investing up to $5 billion in
upgrades to its gas transmission
pipelines across the state that the
California Public Utilities Commission
is set to vote on soon.
PG&Es Pipeline Safety Enhancement
Plan, which the CPUC is currently
reviewing, could reap the utility a nearly
$1.5 billion prot in return for making
the capital investment.
Hill told the Daily Journal Thursday,
however, that the eventual prot could
reach more than $8 billion over a 50-
year period.
Hills Assembly Bill 1456 will be
heard in committee Monday and PG&E
has already come out against it.
PG&E responded in a letter to the
chair of the Assembly Committee on
Utilities and Commerce that Hills legis-
lation would discourage investment in
infrastructure.
While we recognize what the author
is attempting to do, the suggestion of
tying or adjusting a future authorized
rate of return based on past safety per-
formance is misguided in the impacts
that would result. Such a policy would
have a devastating impact on safety,
PG&Es Kent Kauss, director of state
government relations, wrote in the letter.
That response upset Hill.
Theyve got a lot of guts to talk about
safety. Ive got eight families in San
Bruno that can speak about safety, Hill
said about the victims of the San Bruno
pipeline explosion and re.
If the CPUC approves PG&Es
Pipeline Safety Enhancement Plan,
ratepayers will see their bills increase to
pay for about all of the improvements.
Hill has said that the utilitys share-
holders and not its ratepayers should pay
for the xes.
The Utility Reform Network, based in
San Francisco, agrees with Hill and
wants to pressure CPUC ofcials to have
PG&E come up with another way to pay
for improvements to the system since it
was negligent in keeping it safe.
AB 1456 would require the CPUC to
consider any gas utilitys safety perform-
ance when determining its rate of return.
PG&Es safety plan has its customers
paying for about 95 percent of the cost to
x the utilitys aging infrastructure over
a 50-year period.
By making the capital improvements,
the CPUC authorizes PG&E an 11.35
percent return on the investment.
Existing law allows the CPUC to x
the rates and charges for every public
utility and requires that those rates and
charges be just and reasonable.
Hill does not think PG&Es proposal
is just and reasonable.
A CPUC independent review panel
determined that PG&Es nancial focus
had been detrimental to the systems
safety in a report it released in June
2011.
Hill was also critical of PG&E for
diverting hundreds of millions in
ratepayer money meant for pipeline xes
into prot before the San Bruno inci-
dent.
The utility has nearly 5,800 miles of
gas transmission pipes in the state it
plans to have assessed by the end of
2015. Its safety plan calls for pipeline
modernization and installing automated
valves in highly-populated areas as well
as to consolidate its pipeline records
electronically.
The utilitys new safety program is a
result of new regulatory requirements
that are unparalleled in the country,
according to a policy paper presented to
CPUC ofcials by PG&E.
If the CPUC approves PG&Es plan,
rates will go up in 2012 by 4.26 percent,
according to the policy paper.

Award-winning musical. It also will fea-
ture a young cast led by San Mateo 20-
somethings Vicki Morgan, playing Tracy
Turnblad, and director Amanda Folena.
Both women are excited to bring to the
Peninsula a show that celebrates being
different.
Its not surprising that Morgan and
Folena ended up in the performing arts.
Both women grew up with a proclivity
for performing.
Folena, 29, grew up around the Bay
Area. As a child, she would mimic those
she saw on television. When her parents
put her in music class, Folena was
astute, taking in each and every moment.
From there she took the normal variety
of dance classes and participated in
shows. When it came time for college,
Folena decided to continue studying act-
ing at both the University of Southern
California, where she earned her bache-
lors degree, and Purdue University,
where she earned her masters in ne
arts. Along the way, Folena took classes
on the various aspects of stage work
thinking it would make her a better
actress. While she is a professional
actress, and acts once in a while, she
truly loves directing.
Twenty-six-year-old Morgan grew up
in San Mateo. The Aragon alum was
dancing and singing at a young age. At
4, she saw a close friend perform on
stage and condently told her mom she
too could do it. A year later, she was on
stage. More than 20 years of shows later,
Morgan is taking to the stage for the
third time as Tracy the lovable girl
who dares to question the way things
are.
The show is a showcase of lovable
characters, but it also has a message
about which both women are passionate.
Morgan, as a plus size woman of
mixed ethnicity, believes in the show.
With all the talk of bullying in the world,
this is a show encouraging people to
stand up and love yourself for who you
are, she said.
Folena similarly loved the overall
theme of the show, but really, really
loves Tracy.
What I love is, Tracy is this beautiful
person set aside because she happens to
be a big girl. I know what thats like,
she said, adding that despite being dif-
ferent, Tracy helps bring everyone
together.
Folena gives Morgan credit for being a
mentor both on stage, as Tracy, and off
while working with a young cast. Those
in the show are in high school, as are
most of the actors in the performance.
Both women said the young performers
add an amazing energy and a naivet t-
ting for the topics explored in the show.
Hairspray performances are held 8
p.m. Thursdays through Fridays and 2
p.m. Sundays from now until April 22.

PLAY
FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2012
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you fnd yourself
attempting to negotiate with someone who wont
budge an inch, it might be better to forget about try-
ing to work with him or her. Look for another source.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- During this phase of the
heavenly cycle, it will be important to keep pace with
all of your responsibilities and duties. If you fall too
far behind, you may never get back on track.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- This is one of those
days when people tend to put the social graces under
a microscope. Any form of misconduct or overindul-
gence on your part will be frowned upon and talked
about for a long time.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you fnd yourself be-
ing forced to accept another persons desires in spite
of your own needs, chances are youll rebelliously do
the opposite.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Usually you would simply
shrug off anyone who is not in accord with your
views or desires, but if the way the offending party
goes about it ticks you off, you wont hesitate to bury
him or her.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- When youre put in
charge of the fnancial affairs or resources of others,
be as prudent as possible. Even then, unless you frst
consult the sponsor, you could get in trouble.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be on guard and ready
to deal with some opposition from an unexpected
source. Regardless of how out of line it might be,
itll give you a big, fat headache. Forewarned is
forearmed.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Excuses wont be any
help whatsoever where neglected promises are con-
cerned. When you are not in total control of matters,
they will simply control you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Dont allow
yourself to get caught in the middle of two warring
friends. You wouldnt be able to help at all, plus youd
get hammered from both sides.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Take nothing for
granted in negotiating a competitive development. If
your opposition has more going for him or her than
you surmise, you could get in way over your head.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- There is a good
chance that youll be far more vulnerable than usual
to high-pressure sales pitches. If this is the case, you
could impulsively do something that would prove costly.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- When it comes to issues
about which you feel strongly, be extra careful about ex-
pressing them when confronted by someone who holds
equally strong opposing viewpoints. Keep mum.

OF THE 2010-2015 CONSOLIDATED PLAN
NOTICE OF PUBLIC REVIEW & PUBLIC HEARING
The purpose of the Consolidated Plan is to identify and address community
development needs in the areas of housing, physical improvements, social
services and economic development to improve the quality of life in San Mateo.
The Consolidated Plan is a requirement for receiving funding for two federal
grant programs from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD), the Community Development Block Grant and HOME Program. It is
also intended to help plan and coordinate community development programs
in a comprehensive manner. The 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan was adopted
in 2010 and each year an action plan is prepared to carry out the goals and
programs identied in the Consolidated Plan. For the 2012-13 program year,
program year 3 of 5, the City is receiving entitlement awards of $648,927 from
CDBG and $250,576 from HOME.
Persons interested in obtaining a copy of the draft Action Plan may pick one
up at the City of San Mateo Neighborhood Improvement and Housing
Division, 330 West 20th Avenue, San Mateo, CA (650) 522-7220. The
draft Action Plan will also be available for review online at http://www.

submitted in writing to San Mateo Neighborhood Improvement and Housing
Division, 330 West 20th Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94403 or via email to
cwahl@cityofsanmateo.org.
A public review period beginning April 6 through May 7, 2012 will take

Community Relations Commission will include a review and public comment
period at their regular meeting on April 11, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. in City Hall

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Mitchell Dean Confer
Case Number 122207
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Mitchell Dean Confer.
A Petition for Probate has been filed by
Sally Confer in the Superior Court of Cal-
ifornia, County of San Mateo. The Peti-
tion of Probate requests that Sally Confer
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection 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: May 11, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo, 400 County Cen-
ter, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you ob-
ject 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 con-
tingent creditor of the decedent, you
must file your claim with the court and
mail a copy to the personal representa-
tive appointed by the court within four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters as provided in Probate Code sec-
tion 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 DE-154) 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.
