SPECIAL TO THE DAILY JOURNAL
Stating she had been thinking
about it for quite some time,
Councilwoman Rosanne Foust
asked her colleagues on the
Redwood City Council to consider
placing a measure on the November
2012 ballot asking voters about the
proposed Cargill Saltworks proper-
ty development.
I would not
normally sug-
gest something
like this but this
is such a major
matter that
appears to have
divided the
c ommuni t y,
Foust said at the
councils April 9 meeting. I feel
very strongly, even though projects
can go through substantial changes
during the Environmental Impact
[Review] process we should ask
them (voters) if this council and
staff and community should contin-
ue to analyze this.
The issue at hand is the 1,436-
acre Cargill Saltworks property
located just off Highway 101 along
Seaport Boulevard. The property
has been used for salt production
since 1901. Initially owned by the
Redwood City Saltworks, it was
sold to the Stauffer Chemical
Company of San Francisco in 1905
and later to the Leslie Salt Company
in 1941. Cargill purchased the
Leslie Salt Company, including its
Redwood City plant site, in 1978.
At its peak, the Redwood City plant
site produced and shipped 350,000
tons of salt annually.
The Saltworks plan covers more
than 2.2 square miles of industrial
salt-harvesting property. Portions of
the site have been in salt production
for more than 100 years and the site
is currently off limits to the public.
The plan calls for 50 percent of the

A $20 million property sale,
announced Wednesday, will put an
end to a legal dispute over a ground
lease between North Peninsula
Jewish Campus and Foster City.
The NPJC, opened in 2004, is
home to a community, culture,
sports and education center and the
Wornick Jewish Day School and sits
adjacent to City Hall and a vacant
15-acre parcel slated for redevelop-
ment into senior housing and retail.
The NPJC leases the land from
Foster City. In a joint release
Wednesday, the two sides
announced a tentative agreement on
a set of business terms for the sale of
the about 11-acre site on which
NPJC operates. The NPJC board
approved the term sheet subject to
the City Council giving it the OK,
which it will have the chance to do
Monday, April 16.
If approved, the $20 million pro-
posal ends a lease dispute, gives the
city a nancial boost and allows the
NPJC exibility in long-term devel-
opment.
NPJC board Chair Scott Maltz
added it will allow the nonprot
more control over its own destiny.

Epic disasters the anguished
cries, the stories of heroism are
the central narratives of our age,
both enthralling and horrifying. And
our obsession began a century ago,
unfolding in just 160 terrifying min-
utes, on a supposedly unsinkable
ship, as more than 1,500 souls
slipped into the icy waters of the
North Atlantic. And the band played
on.
It was the Titanic. And ever since,
weve been hooked on disasters, in
general but the tale of the great
luxury liner, in particular. This

During the Civil War, Union volunteers

Tenn., on a mission to sabotage as much
of the rail line as they could; the raiders
were caught, and eight of them, Andrews
included, were executed as spies.

Police put the squeeze
on toothpaste thief
EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass.
Police using surveillance video have put
the squeeze on a man suspected of trying
to steal a shopping cart full of toothpaste
from a western Massachusetts grocery
store.
Police arrested 23-year old Timmy
John Laamme on Monday after spot-
ting him sitting in a car across the street
from the Stop & Shop supermarket in
East Longmeadow he was accused of
trying to rob last week.
Laamme, of Chicopee, pleaded not
guilty to shoplifting and was ordered
held without bail because of pending
cases in Springeld.
Police tell The Republican that
Laamme tried leaving the store with the
toothpaste on April 4 but ed when he
was stopped by store employees.
Police say shoplifting toothpaste and
other toiletries is common. Thieves try to
resell the items to small convenience
stores.
Austrian thieves make

VIENNA In a heist that could ll

Police say the culprits broke into a

house east of Vienna, loaded a stolen van
with the goods and then drove off.
A police statement issued Tuesday put
the value of the vehicle and its contents
at more than 55,000 euros $72,000.
The thieves also took two coffee
machines with them.
Simpsons creator:
Real Springfield is in Oregon
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. One of the
best-kept secrets in television history has
been revealed, with The Simpsons cre-
ator Matt Groening pointing to
Springeld, Ore., as the inspiration for
the animated hometown of Homer and
his dysfunctional family.
Groening told Smithsonian magazine,
published online Tuesday, that he was
inspired by the television show Father
Knows Best, which took place in a place
called Springeld. Springeld, Ore., is
100 miles south of Groenings home-
town of Portland.
When I grew up, I realized it was just
a ctitious name, Groening told the
magazine. I also figured out that
Springeld was one of the most common
names for a city in the U.S.
In anticipation of the success of the
show, I thought, This will be cool;
everyone will think its their Springeld.
And they do, he said.
Groening said he has long given
fake answers when asked about the
Simpsons hometown, leaving open
the possibility that his latest one is
itself another fake.
The show has made a running joke of
hiding the true Springelds location. In
one episode, daughter Lisa points to
Springeld on a map, but the animated
camera view is blocked by son Barts
head.
The series has been on the air for 22
years, becoming the longest-running
American sitcom, the longest-running
American animated program and a cul-
tural phenomenon with colleges devoting
courses to studying it.
People in the real Springeld the
one in Oregon took on the mantle of
the shows hometown after Groening vis-
ited during a tour before the 2007 lm
The Simpsons Movie.
Back then, tiny Springeld, Vt., beat
out 13 other like-named cities, including
the one in Oregon, to host the movie pre-
miere. The cities submitted videos meant
to connect themselves to the ctional
Springeld.
When Springeld, Ore., community-
relations manager Niel Laudati was told
about Groenings announcement, he
said: Oh OK, we knew that.
The city has already incorporated the
Simpsons into its own town lore. The
Springeld Museum features a couch
similar to the animated one shown in the
shows opening credits, and a plaque
marking the movies release.
Yo to Springeld, Oregon the real
Springeld! Groening wrote. Your pal,
Matt Groening proud Oregonian!

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A convicted sex offender who served seven
months in jail for stashing child pornography
on his home computer is facing four years in
prison for committing a similar crime while on
probation.
Kent Ping Lin, 26, of San Mateo, pleaded no
contest to felony possession of child pornogra-
phy on condition of a maximum four-year term
to run concurrent with any time imposed for
violating his probation. He will be sentenced
June 12.
In August, just two months after his release
from jail, county probation
ofcers arrested Lin after a
search of his Sugarloaf
Drive home turned up child
pornography on his home
computer. Aside from pos-
session being a crime on its
own, the charge also violat-
ed Lins probation which
also required him to regis-
ter as a sex offender, to
seek treatment and to stay away from minors,
schools and adult bookstores.
The prior December, he was sentenced to
seven months in jail and three years of super-
vised probation for felony child pornography
possession and misdemeanor drug possession.
San Mateo police had zeroed in on Lin after
federal investigators tipped them off in 2009
that he was purchasing child porn from various
websites. A search of the San Mateo home last
year where he lived with his parents turned up
a computer containing dozens of photographs
of girls 7 to 10 years old involved in sex acts
with men, according to prosecutors.
Lin remains in custody without bail.
Child porn possessor convicted again

A 21-year-old Pacica woman accused of
stabbing a cab driver in the neck and making
off with his vehicle pleaded not guilty to
attempted murder, assault and carjacking
charges.
Amanda Jenille Aldeguer did not waive her
right to a speedy trial and returns to court
April 24 for a preliminary hearing.
Pacica police arrested Aldeguer after her
mother called 911 for medical help after see-
ing an injury on her hand. Authorities con-
nected it to an earlier stab-
bing and carjacking report
in the area of West Manor
Drive and Esplanade
Avenue. At that call they
found a bleeding man, a
driver for Serra Yellow
Cab, who said a woman he
picked up at Serramonte
Center pulled out a knife
during the trip to Pacica
and stabbed him in the
neck. As he resisted, she continued to stab, he
said.
After the driver stopped the car and ed, the
woman later identied as Aldeguer got into
the front seat and drove away. Police found
the car near a Pacica park with a knife inside.
The cars video camera recorded the attack,
according to the District Attorneys Ofce.
Aldeguer was apprehended in South San
Francisco.
She remains in custody in lieu of $500,000
bail.
Rushed bills compromise disclosure
SACRAMENTO Among the many bills
rushed through when lawmakers passed the
state budget last year was one protecting teach-
ers if the state had to resort to automatic spend-
ing cuts in the middle of the school year.
The bill prohibited school administrators
from furloughing teachers unless their union
agreed, and banned them from laying off teach-
ers during the scal year, making it virtually
impossible for districts to save signicant
amounts of money. Although it had the poten-
tial for severe consequences, the bill was made
public just one hour before the vote was taken
and passed at 11 p.m.
Dead-of-night votes on rushed legislation
such as the teacher-protection bill are common
during budget season and toward the end of the
legislative session, forcing lawmakers to vote
on major issues with little or no time to read the
substance of the legislation. Many Democrats,
who control both houses of the Legislature,
defend the practice as a necessary evil, but oth-
ers say the process needs to be changed.
Several attempts to give the public at least 24
hours to examine bills before lawmakers vote
have failed, but a Republican lawmaker is try-
ing again this year.
A bill to let sunshine in has been kept in the
dark since 2007, said Assemblyman Kevin
Jeffries, R-Lake Elsinore, who has proposed
similar constitutional amendments twice previ-
ously.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. The
neighborhood watch volunteer who
shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin
was arrested and charged with sec-
ond-degree murder Wednesday after
weeks of mounting tensions and
protests across the country.
George Zimmerman, 28, could get
up to life in prison if convicted in the
slaying of the unarmed black teenag-
er.
Special prosecutor Angela Corey
announced the charges but would
not discuss how she arrived at them
or disclose other details of her inves-
tigation, saying: Thats why we try
cases in a courtroom.
Second-degree murder is typically
brought in cases when there is a ght
or other confrontation that results in
death but involves no premeditation
to kill. It carries a mandatory mini-
mum of 25 years behind bars when a
gun is used.
Martins parents expressed relief
over the decision to prosecute their
sons killer.
The question I would really like
to ask him is, if he could look into
Trayvons eyes and see how inno-
cent he was, would he have then
pulled the trigger? Or would he have
just let him go on home? said his
father, Tracy Martin.
Corey would not disclose
Zimmermans whereabouts for his
safety but said that he will be in
court within 24 hours, at which point
he can request bail. He turned him-
self in in Florida.
Zimmermans new attorney, Mark
OMara, said Zimmerman will plead
not guilty. The lawyer asked that
people not jump to conclusions
about his clients guilt and said he is
hoping that the community will
calm down now that charges have
been led. Im expecting a lot of
work and hopefully justice in the
end, he said.
On Tuesday, Zimmermans former
lawyers portrayed him as erratic and
in precarious mental condition. But
OMara said Zimmerman was OK:
Im not concerned about his mental
well-being.
Zimmerman, whose father is
white and whose mother is Hispanic,
has asserted since the Feb. 26 killing
in Sanford that he shot in self-
defense after the teenager attacked
him. Martins family argued
Zimmerman was the aggressor.

pepper-spraying of students
SAN FRANCISCO Campus
police should not have pepper-
sprayed student demonstrators at the
University of California, Davis in an
incident that generated national out-
rage when video was posted online,
investigators said Wednesday in a
report that assigned blame to all lev-
els of the school administration.
The decision by ofcers to douse a
line of seated Occupy protesters with
the eye-stinging chemical was
objectively unreasonable and not
authorized by campus policy, accord-
ing to the report by a UC Davis task
force created to investigate the inci-
dent. The pepper-spraying incident
that took place on Nov. 18, 2011,
should and could have been prevent-
ed, the task force concluded in the
long-awaited report.
The chemical crackdown prompt-
ed campus protests and calls for the
resignation of Chancellor Linda
Katehi after videos shot by witness-
es went viral.

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

ofcer saw a four-door 2011 Mazda
6 with two people matching the
description given by the homeowner,
stopped the car and arrested the two
people inside. Maurice Hayes, 26,
out of Oakland, was arrested for res-
idential burglary, conspiracy and
parole violations. Janey Jackson, 23,
out of Oakland, was arrested for res-
idential burglary and conspiracy.
The investigation into whether
these two were involved in addition-
al crimes in Hillsborough and the
surrounding area is ongoing. The
Hillsborough Police Department
asks those with any information
relating to these cases call 375-

Police searching for
robbers in uniform
San Mateo police are searching
for two men who, while dressed in
police uniforms, robbed another
man at gunpoint Friday evening.
A 25-year-old victim was robbed
around 10:40 p.m. Friday, April 6 on
the 1100 block of Tilton Avenue in
the North Central neighborhood,
said police Sgt. Dave Norris said.
Described as two Middle Eastern
men, they used a gun to rob the man
on the street, Norris said.
After the call came in, police
throughout the county were put on
the lookout for the car, said Norris.
San Mateo police are checking with
neighboring agencies for similar
crimes. Only one such incident has
recently occurred in San Mateo, he
said.
Anyone with information should
call the Police Departments non-
emergency number at 522-7700.
Those wishing to remain anonymous
can call the Secret Witness Line at

LOS ANGELES Dear future
UCLA student: Nevermind.
Nearly 900 high school seniors
who thought they could tell family
and friends they had earned a hard-
won acceptance to the University of
California, Los Angeles, have been
told they received the wrong infor-
mation. They were actually on a
waiting list.
The 894 prospective students
received an email about nancial
aid awards last weekend that
included the phrase congratula-
tions on your admission to UCLA,
The Los Angeles Times reported
Wednesday.
The problem occurred when
updated notices of provisional
nancial aid were sent not just to the
students who had been accepted to
the institution in the Westwood
neighborhood of the city, but those
on the waiting list as well.
The email included a Web link
where a form said correctly that they
were on the waiting list, leaving stu-
dents who thought they were future
Bruins confused and the university
ooded with calls.
The nancial aid ofce sent out a
message Monday to clarify that the
students hadnt been admitted, and
offered an apology.
We realize this is a particularly
anxious and stressful time for stu-
dents and their families as they try
to make decisions about college
admissions, said campus
spokesman Ricardo Vazquez, who
blamed the mistake on human error
and told the Times that university
ofcials are looking into exactly
how it happened. We sincerely
apologize for this mistake that may
have led some of them to think they
were admitted when they remain on
the waiting lists.
In 2009, the University of
California system saw a similar mis-
take on a bigger scale, when 47,000
rejected students received emails
telling them theyd been accepted to
UC San Diego. Within two hours,
the school sent an email correcting
the mistake and apologizing.

State names Academic Achievement Awards winners
State Superintendent Tom Torlakson announced Wednesday
that 117 California public schools were selected for the 2011-12
Title I Academic Achievement Awards, including Lomita Park
Elementary in Millbrae.
The progress being made at these schools, which serve our
neediest students, should serve as a beacon of hope for
California. At a time of scal crisis and economic uncertainty,
they continue to improve, building a brighter future for their stu-
dents, Torlakson said in a press release. Their accomplishments
prove the value of investing in our schools, and I thank the hard-
working parents, teachers, administrators and school employees
at these campuses for their efforts.
The Title I Academic Achievement Award is given only to
schools receiving federal Title I funds as authorized by the
Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Title I is the single
largest federal educational program for K-12 public education.
Title I funds assist schools in meeting the educational needs of
students living at or below the poverty line. Of the more than
9,000 schools in California, more than 6,000 of them participate
in the Title I program.
The criteria to qualify for the Title I award have become more
rigorous in recent years. To meet the criteria for this distinction,
the school must demonstrate that all students are making signi-
cant progress toward prociency on Californias academic con-
tent standards. Additionally, the schools socioeconomically dis-
advantaged students must have doubled the achievement targets
set for them for two consecutive years.
The Title I Achieving Schools will join the newly named 2012
California Distinguished Schools and the 2010-11 National Blue
Ribbon Schools at award ceremonies held during the month of
May in six different regions throughout the state.
Wet weather expected to wrap up by weekend
Storm clouds will bring more rain to the Bay Area over the next
couple of days, but the skies are expected to clear by the week-
end, a National Weather Service forecaster said Wednesday after-
noon.
Forecaster Steve Anderson said the region should see more rain
by Thursday morning, and that the wet weather will likely con-
tinue into Friday.
Some BB-size hail was reported in the San Jose area around
noon yesterday. A funnel cloud touched down southwest of
Stockton early yesterday afternoon, said Stefanie Henry, a mete-
orologist with the weather services Sacramento-area ofce.
Anderson said no such weather was expected in the Bay Area.
Itll be sunny and dry over the weekend, he said.

MENDENHALL, Pa. The 2012
presidential general election has begun.
It wont be pretty.
Tuesday marked Day One, in essence,
of the contest between the two virtually
certain nominees, Republican Mitt
Romney and Democratic President
Barack Obama. Rick Santorums depar-
ture removed the last meaningful bump
from Romneys path to the GOP nomi-
nation. Romney and Obama wasted no
time in portraying the voters choice in
dire, sometimes starkly personal terms.
The campaign started yesterday, the
general election campaign, Romney
said Wednesday on Fox News when
pressed on how he would counter con-
tinued Democratic attacks that he is an
out-of-touch rich guy. Its a little early
in the process.
With Obama sad-
dled with a still-ail-
ing economy and a
divisive health care
law, and Romney
riding a wave of blis-
tering TV ads, the
fall election is
unlikely to dwell on
hope, change
and other uplifting
themes from four years ago. Much of the
nations ire then was aimed at departing
President George W. Bush, and Obama
had no extensive record to defend.
The landscape is much different now.
Voters face nearly seven months of hard-
hitting jabs and counterpunches between
the two parties standard-bearers.
Romney, the former Massachusetts
governor making his second presidential
bid, now has to unify his party, build out
a general election campaign and start
answering big questions like who he will
choose as a running
mate. He insisted
Wednesday that con-
servatives will unite
behind him and said
he believes Santorum
will campaign with
him against Obama.
He also suggested he
is considering one of
his formal rivals for
the presidential ticket.
Theres a large number of people in
the Republican party who are extraordi-
nary leaders, including some of those
who have run in this last contest with
me, and so well go through that list and
decide who could potentially become a
president if that were necessary, he told
Fox News.
The presumptive nominee attacked
Obama with gusto Tuesday in his two
public events that followed Santorums
surprising announcement.

WASHINGTON Republican Rep.
Allen West said he believes 75-plus
House Democrats are members of the
Communist Party, a claim that echoed
Joe McCarthys unsubstantiated 1950s
charges that communists had inltrated
the top ranks of the U.S. government.
Addressing a town-hall meeting
Tuesday in Florida, the freshman law-
maker was asked how many members of
the American legislature are card-carry-
ing Marxists. West said theres about 78
to 81 members of the Democratic Party
that are members of the Communist
Party. He did not provide names.
Wests ofce said Wednesday that the
congressman stood by the comments and
was referring to the 76 members of the
Congressional Progressive Caucus, the
largest group within the House
Democratic caucus.
The Communist Party has publicly
referred to the Progressive Caucus as its
allies, said Angela Melvin, a spokes-
woman for West. The Progressive
Caucus speaks for itself. These individu-
als certainly arent proponents of free
markets or individual economic free-
dom.

WASHINGTON The U.S. human

Unions gulag during the Cold War.
Robert King made his comments at a
conference Tuesday examining the
Norths network of prison labor camps
and penitentiaries that a new report esti-
mates hold more than 150,000 inmates.
King said the U.S. has made it clear to
Pyongyang that it needs not only to
address international concerns over its
weapons programs but to improve its
human rights record if it wants to partic-
ipate fully in the international communi-
ty.

Risque book pulled from Burlingame curriculum
A real gritty look at how one boy was raised in South Africa
dealing with poverty, violence and prostitution before moving to
the United States to become a well-known tennis player proved
too risqu for parents of Burlingame Intermediate students
causing Superintendent Sonny Da Marto to take it away from
students currently reading it, it was reported the week of April
13, 2007. Kafr Boy, by Mark Mathabone was added to the
curriculum more than two years prior. The coming-of-age tale
depicts an honest portrayal of being black in South America. It
was also number 31 on the American Library Associations list
of 100 most challenged books between 1990 to 2000.
South San Francisco ferry funding approved
The prospect of ferry rides between Oakland and South San
Francisco moved forward the week of April 13, 2007 with the

Commission funds for the project.
The Water Transit Authority, which heads the project, hoped
to have the South San Francisco terminal ferrying passengers

Jack London Square by the end of 2008. Ofcials announced
last week a planned opening this summer.

The Fish and Game Commission unanimously designated 29
marine preserves between Santa Barbara and Half Moon Bay,
13 of which would be off-limits to all anglers, commercial and
recreational. Deep water shing would be prohibited in the rest.

BANDA ACEH, Indonesia
Cries of panic and fervent prayers
rang out Wednesday as Indonesians
rushed toward high ground after two
strong earthquakes raised fears of a
killer tsunami.
Alerts were raised as far away as
Africa and Australia but this time
the big waves didnt come.
In western Indonesia, distraught
women ran into the streets clinging
to crying children as back-to-back
tsunami warnings revived memories
of the 2004 disaster that claimed
230,000 lives in nearly a dozen
countries. Others screamed God is
great as they poured from their
homes or searched frantically for
family members.
God! What have we done to
deserve this? one mother screamed
as residents around her piled into
cars and onto the backs of motorcy-
cles. What sins have we commit-
ted?
Two deadly tsunamis in the last
decade the most recent off Japan
just one year ago have left the
world much better prepared.
Sirens sounded along coastlines
and warnings spread like wildre by
mobile phone text messaging.
Though often chaotic, evacuations
began immediately, with streets
clogged with trafc, especially in
Aceh province, where 170,000 peo-
ple were killed in 2004.
Patients were wheeled out of hos-
pitals, some still lying in their beds
with drips attached to their arms.
And at least one hotel guest was
slightly injured when he jumped out
of his window.

BEIRUT Syria promised to
comply with a U.N.-brokered cease-
re beginning Thursday but carved
out an important condition that
the regime still has a right to defend
itself against the terrorists that it
says are behind the countrys year-
old uprising.
The statement Wednesday offered
a glimmer of hope that a peace ini-
tiative by special envoy Ko Annan
could help calm the conict, which
has killed some 9,000 people. But
the regime still has ample room to
maneuver.
In comments carried on the state-
run news agency, Syria said the
army has successfully fought off
armed terrorist groups and
reasserted state authority across the
country.
A decision has been taken to stop
these missions as of the morning of
Thursday, April 12, 2012, the state-
ment said, adding: Our armed
forces are ready to repulse any
aggression carried out by the armed
terrorist groups against civilians or
troops.
The government denies that it is
facing an uprising by Syrians who
want to dislodge the authoritarian
family dynasty that has ruled the
country for more than four decades.
Instead, the regime says, terrorists
are carrying out a foreign conspira-
cy to destroy Syria.
Because the regime has treated
any sign of dissent as a provocation,
there are only dim hopes for an
abrupt end to the bloodshed.
The White House cautioned that
President Bashar Assads regime
has reneged on promises to stop the
violence in the past.
Syria says it will stop fighting by U.N. deadline

Letters to the editor
The Oneonta (N.Y.) Daily Star
A
recent Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau report indicates
the total amount of U.S. student
loan debt has surpassed $1 trillion.
For the rst time in U.S. history, student
loan debt exceeds debt from credit cards and
auto loans. But with the decline of unskilled
labor jobs, more Americans are attending
college than ever before. And that isnt a bad
thing; college graduates earn much more on
average than those who lack degrees, and a
skilled workforce can produce goods and
services of greater value.
Unfortunately, many students are leaving
school without the requisite skills for an
increasingly demanding job market but
with unmanageable debt that threatens the
economic recovery, according to National
Association of Consumer Bankruptcy
Attorneys President William Brewer.
As bankruptcy lawyers, were the rst to
see the cracks in the foundation, Brewer
said to the Associated Press this week. We
were warning of mortgage problems in 2006
and 2007. ... Now were seeing the same
signs of distress. Were seeing huge defaults
on student loans and people driven into
nancial difculties because of them.
While students who attend for-prot col-
leges make up just 26 percent of all borrow-
ers, they account for 43 percent of defaults
since 2008, according to U.S. Department of
Education statistics. The loan-default rate at
for-prot colleges is 11.6 percent, compared
to just 6 percent for public colleges and 4
percent for traditional private colleges.
In a global economy, higher education isnt
just a necessity for those pursuing careers;
its a crucial component of a competitive
economy. Congress and the White House
should treat it as such, not as a cash cow for
their lobbyist friends.
Time to deal with the big problem
Editor,
Is it a shock to anybody that the state
teacher pension has a projected shortfall of
$65 billion?
This is on the heels of the behemoth
California Public Employees Retirement
System recently having to admit that they too
are projecting a shortfall in the 10s of bil-
lions of dollars. This, after being assured for
years by experts that taxpayer involvement
would not be necessary and they were funded
adequately. Not. Now the projected funding
shortfalls of these two pension funds are by
far the largest problem that Californians face.
Every other issue in California is dwarfed
both in size and scope, yet because of the
immense power of organized labor and the
liberal majority in our state government, it
gets swept under the rug and ignored. Now,
who do you suppose gets stuck with making
sure this shortfall is made whole to
Californias teachers and other state public
union employees pensions? You guessed it,
you and I.
The benets that have been promised to
public employees are unrealistic and more
importantly, unsustainable. Until public
employee compensation and pensions are
seriously brought into line with the 21st cen-
tury, I would like the voters of California to
say no to any new state income and/or sales
taxes. Force the state government to deal
with this unfunded, liable catastrophe by vot-
ing no to any new state taxes this November.

Family diner
Editor,
Thank you for running your story today
about the Pantry (Family diner set to close
in the April 11 edition of the Daily Journal).
My wife, our family and I are heartbroken
that the Pantry and the lovely Morales family
have been asked to vacate the current loca-
tion. I dont know what the property owners
have in mind for the location, but there is no
way any member of our family will ever
patronize it. This is far more than a restaurant
story, this is a community issue that I hope
you continue to cover. These family busi-
nesses are intertwined with generations of
San Mateo and Peninsula residents. The
Pantry in particular forges bonds between
residents from all walks of life, because once
you step through the doors you are family
too. Thank you again and I look forward to
more!

Takla is no victim
Editor,
Regarding the story, Home mistakenly put
on auction list in the April 10 edition of the
Daily Journal, let me see if I have this right.
First, Gloria Takla takes out a loan that is
for more than her house is worth with a low
initial payment that quickly balloons into a
much larger one. Then she decides to stop
paying her mortgage payments and now
wants the bank to forgive most of the out-
standing loan. The article did not say how
long she had stopped paying the payments,
but it must be for several years to get to the
point her home was going to be auctioned.
Now, you and she both want everyone to
feel sorry for her as the bank was actually
going to nally make her move out of a
house she wasnt paying for.
Takla is no victim in this. When she
bought the house she knew what her income
was and how much she could afford to pay.
Nobody forced her to sign up for the mort-
gage; she made the decisions as an adult. She
is just taking advantage of everyone who is
out working and paying for their mortgages.
I bet she will continue to not pay and even-
tually be forced out of the house.

Andy Cohen and housing
Editor,
That Andy Cohen, currently on the Menlo
Park City Council, would consider housing
as his main interest and accomplishment in
his bid for a county supervisor seat is truly
odd (A long road to supervisor candidacy
in the April 9 edition of the Daily Journal).
While he has supported affordable housing
and promoted some foreclosure assistance
for Belle Haven, which is east of Highway
101, he has staunchly voted against housing
developments west of Highway 101 (even
when they had below market rate units),
either as condos or rentals.
If voters are looking for a candidate who
truly understands our areas housing issues
or has a broad understanding of other issues
in the county, they will need to look else-
where.

Mad Scrabble
Z
arf? What the heck is zarf? All I know
actually all I care about is that
zarf is a recognized Scrabble word
and, sadly, I was not
the player who
plopped it on a dou-
ble-letter, double-
word combination
that all but assured
my humble defeat.
With that in mind,
let me wish all like-
minded ruthless
spellers an early H-A-
P-P-Y S-C-R-A-B-B-
L-E D-A-Y!
Thats right, move
over Call of Duty. Nobodys given you an of-
cial day yet, have they?
Tomorrow is not only Friday the 13th but
also National Scrabble Day which celebrates
the birthday of game inventor Alfred Mosher
Butts on April 13, 1899. Butts debuted the
game in 1938 and the world has never been the
same since. Madden and Angry Birds may be
the latest gaming favorites but Scrabble is the
classic.
Scrabble, because of its competitive nature,
has always been in my life. Anyone else have a
grandmother who refused to give 8-year-olds
any passes, free peeks into the dictionary or
freedom from being challenged at every cor-
ner? Then, of course, there was the infamous
mit incident of a few years back. Picture a
gaggle of females snowed in at a Tahoe cabin
with a Scrabble board, a few bottles of wine,
no Internet or phone reception, no dictionary
and a player who insists m-i-t is how one
spells mitt. I was outnumbered by the tipsy
majority who said m-i-t sounded pretty good.
The story still goes that the vein in my temple
looked ready to burst.
Now, though, players no longer have to
worry about boards and tiles and getting every-
body in one location for a full-on spelling rum-
ble. Thanks to the advent of the smartphone
and those ne folks at Zynga, Words With
Friends means you can take your spelling
and the associated brain cramps anywhere
you go. Even better, the application totals up
the counts for you (no fuzzy math worries!)
and even decides if a word is valid or not.
In a way, it is like Scrabble for dummies if
only because it lures you into trying letter
combinations youd never previously use for
fear of being challenged and losing a turn. If
the word isnt actually a word, the app tells
you and wont let it play.
Hence, zarf.
Even my challenger, the one who made the
word, was impressed.
But little is as impressive as one member of
my regular word-playing gaggle. Lets just call
her Mary. Mary is erce, somehow able to turn
a handful of nothing but consonants into a
thing of beauty, using the small spaces
between already-played words in ways that
would make inll-housing advocates proud
and her opponents swear with new verve and
creativity.
For the purists, the cyber-version is, granted,
not actually Scrabble. The extra-point squares
are slightly different, the amount of letters dif-
ferent and theres no feeling around inside the
letter bag trying to feel out the E and Q tiles.
However, the original doesnt allow players to
take a turn in line, on the phone, before bed,
with morning coffee, in trafc jams and pretty
much every place else in between. The original
also doesnt provide for juggling multiple
games, often with the same players win
one, lose one, call it a wash for the logophiles
self-esteem.
Regardless, the modern version wouldnt
exist without Butts invention. Its tting to
salute him tomorrow no matter which game
feeds the need to gure out every two-letter Q
word and weigh how long to safely hang onto
the Z before being left with the high-scoring
tile at games end.
Other pastimes will come and go heres

NEW YORK Investors on
Wednesday all but forgot the previous
days burdens and sent stocks soaring. It
was a stark turnaround from the day
before, when theyd pushed the market
into a free-fall on worries about
European debt and corporate earnings in
the U.S.
Those fears about problems festering
on both sides of the Atlantic were
calmed thanks to a surprising prot from
Alcoa and news that borrowing costs in
Spain had edged down, a potential sign
that investors have more faith for
now, anyway in that countrys nan-
cial health.
The result was a U-turn on Wall Street.
The Dow Jones industrial average
climbed as much as 129 points in early
trading before settling at 12,805.39, up
89.46 points. The previous day, it had
lost 214 points, the cap to its biggest and
longest losing streak this year.
European markets rose, too. Stocks
climbed roughly 1 percent in major cap-
itals, excluding Greece, after losing 2 to
3 percent the day before. Treasury prices
fell, signaling that investors are more
willing to put money in stocks.
Other U.S. indexes also erased much
of the previous days losses. The
Standard & Poors 500 rose 10.12 points
to 1,368.71 after losing 24 points the day
before. The Nasdaq composite climbed
25.24 points to 3,016.46 following a 56-
point loss Tuesday.
Alcoa rose more than 6 percent after
reporting late Tuesday that it turned a
prot in the rst three months of the year
and handily beat the expectations of
Wall Street analysts, who were predict-
ing a loss. Since Alcoa is the rst com-
pany in the Dow average to report earn-
ings, its results have a greater ability to
move the market compared with compa-
nies that report later. More rst-quarter
results will be released over the next few
weeks.
Market watchers were divided over
how long the gains would last and
whether Alcoas prots actually mean
anything for the rest of the earnings sea-
son.
Im not predicting were going to
have a blowout earnings quarter, said
David Armstrong, managing director of
Monument Wealth Management in
Alexandria, Va. But I think if people
thought earnings season was going to be
bad, they may be pleasantly surprised.
One earnings report? countered Uri
Landesman, president of the New York
hedge fund Platinum Partners.

WASHINGTON The government
says avid best-seller readers who use
electronic books have been getting
ripped off.
Tina Feys Bossy Pants, Tim
Tebows Through My Eyes and Keith
Richards Life maybe they should
have cost less.
The Justice Department and 15 states
sued Apple Inc. and major book publish-
ers Wednesday, alleging a conspiracy
that raised the price of electronic books.
They said the scheme cost consumers
more than $100 million in the past two
years by adding $2 or $3, sometimes as
much as $5, to the price of each e-book.
If there was price xing, even the e-
book version of the hot-selling Walter
Isaacson biography of Steve Jobs, the
late genius behind Apple computers,
may have cost too much.
Attorney General Eric Holder said
executives at the highest levels of the
companies conspired to eliminate com-
petition among e-book sellers. Justices
antitrust chief, Sharis Pozen, said the
executives were desperate to get
Amazon.com the marketer of Kindle
e-book readers to raise the $9.99
price point it had set for the most popu-
lar e-book titles, because that was sub-
stantially below their hardcover prices.
The federal government reached a set-
tlement with three of the publishers,
Hachette, HarperCollins and Simon &
Shuster. But it will proceed with its law-
suit in federal court in New York City
against Apple and Holtzbrinck
Publishers, doing business as
Macmillan, and The Penguin Publishing
Co. Ltd., doing business as Penguin
Group.
U.S. sues to lower e-book best-sellers prices
Natural gas below $2
for first time in decade
By Jonathan Fahey
NEW YORK The price of natural gas has fallen to its low-
est level in more than a decade, a remarkable decline for a com-
modity that not long ago was believed to be in short supply.
The countrys supply of natural gas is growing so fast that ana-
lysts worry the countrys underground storage facilities could be
full by fall and lead to further price declines.
On Wednesday, the futures price of natural gas fell to $1.984
per 1,000 cubic feet, its lowest level since January 28, 2002,
when the price hit $1.91. If the price slides to $1.75, it would be
the lowest since March 23, 1999.
Natural gas production has boomed across the country as ener-
gy companies employ new drilling techniques to tap previously
untouched reserves. The process has raised concerns about water
safety, and has been temporarily banned in New York and New
Jersey. But where it has been allowed, it has led to increases in
drilling, job growth and production.
Google tweaks Plus social
network for ease of use
NEW YORK Google is tweaking its social network,
Google Plus, to make it easier to use and to distinguish it from
rival Facebook. The most visible change is a new navigation
ribbon on the left side of the Google Plus page with icons for
the most used features, such as games, photos and your per-
sonal prole. Hover over an icon to do specic tasks, such as
add photos from your phone or an online album.
You can reorder the features in the ribbon and hide the ones
you dont use often. The changes, announced Wednesday, are
designed to help Google Plus adapt more easily to growth
and to make room for new features in the future.

T
he 650 Show, a boxing showcase
being presented by San Mateos B
Street Boxing at the Burlingame
Machinist Lodge Saturday night, features a
number of ghters still in the infancy of
their career. Of the 13 bouts, eight have
ghters who have seen, max, four amateur
ghts.
Those bouts, while important to the
ghters and their clubs, are merely the
appetizer before the main course as the
second-half of the card highlights a number
of veteran amateur ghters.
Among them are Billye Burke and Mike
Marshall from San
Mateos Westside
Boxing Club. With
about 50 ghts
between them, Burke
at a 165 pounds, and
Marshall at 201,
should provide a
show, says Patrick
Ragan, their trainer
and Westside Boxing
Club owner.
Ragan said
Marshall is a three-
time Golden Gloves
Regional champion and recently competed
in the United States Olympic Boxing
Trials. Burke is a two-time Golden Gloves
Regional titleholder.
Marshall will face off against Ramon
Hernandez of Oaklands King Gym in the
nal bout of the evening. For Marshall,
who lost a controversial 17-16 decision in
his only bout at the Olympic trials last
month, Hernandez is his rst Bay Area
opponent in a while.
Theres not a lot of competition around
here for him, Ragan said. Thats why Ive
taken [Marshall, along with Burke] to New
York, to Las Vegas, to L.A., to spar. Weve
been fortunate to travel and gain a big edge
in training. [Ive] been taking them to Wild
Card (home of trainer Freddie Roach), take
them to work with the (former multiple-
time champion) James Toneys camp and
those pros down there.
Ragan said he doesnt know much about
Hernandez, but Kings Gym is not going to
send a ghter unprepared and Ragan knows
that any time you step in the ring, anything
can happen. Hes been stressing this ght is
not simply an opportunity to get in some
work.
This guy (Hernandez) is out here train-
ing to come out here and take [Marshalls]

Because of an injury to Brian Elliott, Jaroslav Halak became the St. Louis Blues de facto starter against the Sharks in Game 1 of the playoffs.
By R.B. Fallstrom
ST. LOUIS Ken Hitchcocks big decision
decided itself.
It was no surprise when the St. Louis Blues
coach announced Jaroslav Halak would start in
goal in the playoff opener against the San Jose
Sharks. After all, his other option, Brian Elliott,
didnt practice because of an unspecied upper-
body injury sustained about a week ago.
Oh yeah, its a big decision before Elliott got
hurt, Hitchcock said. Were pretty hopeful hes
going to be able to back up tomorrow and get
himself ready but were not 100 percent, so we
made the decision really yesterday.
Elliott led the NHL with a 1.56 goals-against
average, nine shutouts and a .940 save percent-
age, and was the Blues lone All-Star. Halak was
fth with a 1.97 goals-against average and six
shutouts and is playoff-tested, winning a pair of
Game 7s to lift the No. 8 seed Canadiens in
2009-10.
Their combined 15 shutouts tied the modern
NHL record set by the Chicago Blackhawks in
1969-70, and theyre the rst tandem in NHL
history with at least six shutouts apiece.
Even though Elliotts locker stall was empty,
Halak was taking nothing for granted and acted
as if he didnt know he would start. He didnt
make much of his prior success, either.
That happened two years ago almost, Halak
said. We are here right now and its a different
team, different playoffs. Its a new season for
everybody. You start from scratch.
Expectations are high for a franchise that took
ight after the Hitchcock hire in early
November, going 43-15-11 after a so-so 6-7
start. Theyre the No. 2 seed in the Western
Conference after a 109-point total that tied for
second overall in the NHL.
And, though theyre in the playoffs for just the
second time in seven seasons and havent won a
series in a decade, they swept the four-game sea-
son series against the No. 7 Sharks while
outscoring them 11-3. Halak and Elliott each
shut out San Jose at home.
It doesnt matter which goalie you play
against, which system you play against, the
Halak to face Sharks

OAKLAND Nothing new for Jonny
Gomes getting hit by a pitch to win a game in
extra innings. Strangely, it happened to him
just last season when he was plunked by Brad
Lidge to hand the Washington Nationals a vic-
tory over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Been there, done that, Gomes quipped.
Jonathan Broxton got Gomes this time, hit-
ting him on the rst pitch he threw with the
bases loaded in the 12th inning and forcing
Jemile Weeks home for the winning run in the
Oakland Athletics 5-4 victory over the
Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.
Moments earlier, Broxton (0-1) plunked
new As cleanup hitter Yoenis Cespedes on the
rst pitch to load the bases and the closer
received a mound visit from pitching coach
Dave Eiland.
I wasnt very good
today, with the walks and
everything else. It started
out good but I just didnt
have it, Broxton said.
One was a sinker and one
was a four-seam fastball.
It marked the third time
the As won on a game-
ending hit by pitch in
Oakland history and rst
since Olmedo Saenz on July 20, 2002, against
Texas.
You can hit me four times if we win, said
Gomes, nearly hit earlier on a heater from
Kelvin Herrera. We have to write that down
and keep it in the back of our minds because

DENVER Carlos Gonzalez tripled twice,
drove in four runs and scored three times
Wednesday night, leading the Colorado
Rockies to a wild 17-8 win over Tim
Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants that
recalled the pre-humidor days at Coors Field.
The Rockies collected 22 hits half of
them for extra bases on a cool, sometimes
damp evening.
Matt Reynolds (1-0) got the win with 1 2-3
innings in relief of Jeremy Guthrie, who failed
to hold a 6-0 lead, and Tyler Chatwood picked
up his rst career save with a three-inning
stint.
Guillermo Mota (0-1) took the loss in relief
of an ineffective Lincecum, who had his sec-
ond straight shaky start but wasnt tagged with
his second loss thanks to a seven-run fourth-
inning rally that briey gave the Giants the
lead.
Looking to bounce back from a poor per-
formance at Arizona in the season opener,
Lincecum was tagged for six runs and eight
hits in just 2 1-3 innings. He walked two,
threw two wild pitches and left trailing 6-zip.
His ERA ballooned to 12.91, but he
watched his teammates score seven times in
the top of the fourth to take him off the hook.
However, San Franciscos bullpen would
give up the games next 10 runs.
Guthrie allowed six runs before he was
replaced by Reynolds. Guthrie gave up nine
hits, walked two and allowed two homers in 3
1-3 innings. Hes allowed back-to-back
homers in each of his two starts for the
Rockies bury Giants

STANFORD Pep Hamilton put his hands
on his forehead, closed his eyes and scrunched
his face. When it comes to talking about the quar-
terback competition, Stanfords offensive coordi-
nator is still searching for the answers.
Same goes for the rest of the Cardinals recon-
struction.
Hamilton and defensive coordinator Derek
Mason held an informal roundtable discussion
with a small group of reporters Wednesday, an
annual get-to-know-you-type meeting that was
especially pertinent this spring. Stanford is
replacing four likely rst-round picks in the NFL
draft, including projected No. 1 overall selection
Andrew Luck, along with a slew of other starters.
The Coast Conference division leaders faced
off Wednesday in San Mateo, with Pacic
Division front-runner Ohlone College-Fremont
beating Golden Gate top dog College of San
Mateo, 9-4 in a community college baseball
showdown.
Despite the game being played at CSM, the
Bulldogs were the visitors on the scoreboard
because Tuesdays game in Fremont got rained
out.
Both teams have already eclipsed the 20-win
mark this season, but Ohlone the 2010 state
champs jumped out to an early lead
Wednesday and never looked back. Ohlone (14-
3 Pacic Division, 20-9 overall) scored a run in
the bottom of the rst and tacked on four more
runs in the second for a 5-0 lead.
CSM (14-2 Golden Gate Division, 22-8 over-
all) got on the scoreboard with a run in the top
of the third, but the Renegades answered with a
run in the bottom of the fourth.
CSM closed to 6-4 with a run in the fth and
two more in the sixth, but it was as close as the
Bulldogs would get as the Renegades got the
two runs back in the bottom half of the frame
and added an insurance run in the eighth.
Mark Hurley had a big day at the plate for
CSM, going 4 for 5 with a double. Cody
Zimmerman drove in a pair of runs for the
Bulldogs, who nished with three hits. Jarrett
Costa also had three hits in the loss.
CSM starting pitcher Clay Bauer worked into
the fth inning before being lifted for a reliever.
Bauer dropped to 3-4 on the season after giving
up four earned runs and ve hits, while walking
four and striking out only two.
Skyline 8, Mission 4
The Trojans picked up their third win a row
behind the power of Matt Page, who homered
twice and drove in four runs.
Much like the CSM-Ohlone game, despite
playing at home, Skyline was the visitor since
the game was moved from Mission. That
enabled the Trojans to jump out to an early
lead. Page hit a two-run blast in the top of the
rst inning.
The game was a back-and-forth affair, but
with Skyline leading 4-3, the Trojans added
an insurance run in the sixth and broke the
game open with three more in the seventh.
That was enough to make a winner of Nick
Paton, the rst career college victory. He
came in to relieve starter Forrest Armanino in
the rst inning and worked 4 1/3 innings.
Dan Molieri also found his way to the
mound for three innings of relief for his team-
leading 21st appearance of the season. Only
Greg Gonzalez, who appeared in 22 games in
2007, has appeared in more games in one sea-
son since 2001.
High school baseball
Carlmont picked up a much-needed win,
beating visiting Capuchino 4-0 Wednesday.
Both teams came in with 1-3 marks early in
the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
season and both needed a win if they want to
contend for the division title. Burlingame,
Hillsdale, Menlo-Atherton and Terra Nova all
entered play Wednesday with 3-1 marks.
Scots starting pitcher Sean Collins was
nearly unhittable against Capuchino, allowing
just two in an 83-pitch, complete-game effort.
On offense, the story was the long ball as
Carlmont (2-3 PAL Bay, 8-7 overall) went
deep twice. Nick Rich led off the bottom of
the fourth with a towering shot to center. In
the sixth, Nic Bongi crushed a two-run bomb
to left. Jason Marley picked up the other RBI
for the Scots, using a rst-inning single to
score Justin Fink for a 1-0 lead after one
inning.
High school tennis
The Menlo-Atherton boys tennis team took
a huge step toward a PAL Bay Division title
with a dominating 6-1 win over Burlingame
Wednesday.
Because of rainouts, M-A (9-0 PAL Bay,
14-2 overall) and Burlingame (6-3) had not
faced each other this season. The Bears have
already beaten every other team in the divi-
sion, but in crowning a league champion,
Burlingame almost always has a say.
Wednesday, the Panthers had no response to
a thorough beat down. Burlingames lone win
came at No. 1 singles, where Scott Taggart
beat Nick Fratt in three sets.
Those would be the only two sets the Bears
would lose as they swept the rest of the
matches. No. 3 singles player Richie Sarwal
had the easiest match of the day, losing just
one game in two sets. In fact, in M-As six
wins, it lost only 23 games.
Carlmont 5, Aragon 2
Corey Pang returned to the top of the Scots
ladder and he set the tone in a big win for
Carlmont, which moved into second place in
the PAL Bay Division standings.
Pang lost only three games in a two-set
sweep as Carlmont (7-2 PAL Bay) won three
of four singles matches and two of the three
doubles matches.
Carlmonts Pete Eakin and Aragons Isaac
Wang were involved in the most dramatic
match of the day at No. 3 singles. Eakin
cruised to a 6-0 rst set win, but Wang rallied
for a 6-2 win in the second set. Eakin pulled
out the win with a 6-2 decision in the nal set.

PHILADELPHIA Nearly all the Miami
Marlins rushed over to the dugout railing and
playfully pretended to listen when Joey Cora
sat down to speak about lling in for suspend-
ed manager Ozzie Guillen.
Shortly after Guillen addressed the team in
the clubhouse Wednesday and apologized for
saying he admired Fidel Castro, it was business
as usual for the players.
To a man, they had his
back.
Its really a hard time
for him and his family,
closer Heath Bell said.
We felt bad for him. You
have to understand that
occasionally guys make
mistakes. At least hes
owning up to it and not try-
ing to hide or shy away from it. Hes going to
try and make up for his mistakes.
He can only be a better person out of it.
Like he said, if he doesnt learn from this, hes
stupid. Thats what he said.
Guillens comments led to his ve-game sus-
pension that started when Miami played the
Phillies in the second game of a three-game
series. The Marlins, who opened a new ball-
park last week and added several marquee free
agents over the winter, are off to a 2-3 start.
A day after a contrite Guillen held an hour-
long news conference in Miami, he talked to
the team for less than 10 minutes and expressed
similar emotions.
Theres nothing he needs to apologize to us
about, reliever Mike Dunn said. Hes our
manager and we back him 100 percent.
Outelder Logan Morrison said: I love the
guy.
The Marlins conclude the series with
Philadelphia on Thursday, before returning
home to play Houston on Friday.
Guillens praise of the Cuban dictator in an
interview with Time magazine outraged the
Cuban-American community in Miami and led
some politicians to call for his dismissal.
This one was big and he felt it from the
beginning, said Cora, a close friend of Guillen
whos been coaching under him since 2004
with the Chicago White Sox. He got shaken,
he felt it. After he analyzed what happened, in
retrospect, he wouldnt have said what he said.
He apologized and it came from the heart and
hopefully he makes amends with the commu-
nity.
He will.
Cora has lled in for Guillen before, though
never under these circumstances. He said he
planned to manage games the way Guillen
would and was certain players wouldnt be
affected.
Things werent quite the same for him, of
course.
Ive never had this many people try to get
me to talk, Cora joked. You guys know me. I
dont talk. I barely say Hi to people.

PITTSBURGH Jakub Voracek beat
Marc-Andre Fleury from in close 2:23 into
overtime to give the Philadelphia Flyers a 4-3
comeback victory over the Pittsburgh
Penguins on Wednesday night in Game 1 of
the Eastern Conference quarternal series.
Fleury stopped Matt Reads shot from the
corner, but Voracek pounced on the rebound to
cap a furious rally from a 3-0 decit. Daniel
Briere scored twice, and Brayden Schenn
added a goal in his playoff debut. Ilya
Brzygalov settled down after a shaky start to
nish with 25 saves.
Sidney Crosby, Tyler Kennedy and Pascal

Theres still much to learn about the new crop
of Cardinal players, and even the programs two
coordinators are still waiting for the answers to
emerge.
Its a tough situation at this point in the off-

time with the rst-team offense at Stanfords
annual spring game Saturday in cozy Kezar
Stadium in San Franciscos historic Golden Gate
Park, and no decision is expected until at least the
second week of training camp.
Its still up in the air, Hamilton said. You
dont know if hes a ghter until you see him take
a punch.
Hamilton expects to give senior Stepfan Taylor
who ran for 1,363 yards and 10 touchdowns
last season in a four-man rotation upwards of
30 carries per game and see if he can make a run
at 2009 Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby
Gerharts school record of 1,871 yards rushing.
And if nothing else, the hope is Stanfords stout
running back and powerful offensive line will
take pressure off any quarterback.
In my opinion, we have the best running back
in the country, Hamilton said.
The defensive side of the ball is a little more
proven.
Chase Thomas and Shayne Skov headline a
linebacker group that has more talent than spots
available on the eld. The defensive line remains
almost entirely intact and could help Stanford
remain one of the Pac-12s best defenses.
Our defensive front is salty, man, Mason
said. Theyre salty.
The bigger challenge comes replacing safeties
Delano Howell and Michael Thomas hopeful
late-round draft picks who struggled to defend
more athletic wide receivers and cornerback
Johnson Bademosi. Mason remained mum on
who might feel the voids, but expects to have a
clearer idea come fall, when freshmen from a
recruiting class largely considered
Another challenge is replacing co-defensive
coordinator Jason Tarver, who moved across the
bay for the same position at the Oakland Raiders.
Mason said he will assume Tarvers responsibili-
ties including taking over all the play calling,
which he did most of anyway and is ready to
bear the brunt of any criticism for a unit that
failed miserably in losses to Oregon and
Oklahoma State last season.
Im the one responsible. Im the man in
charge when it comes to did you get it done, or
did you not get it done, Mason said. Thats on
me. And I wholeheartedly take responsible of
everything we do.
How it all shakes out is still unclear.
The Cardinal nish up spring practice this
week, and then coaches wont be able to have a
full grasp on players again until August. As
Hamilton wanted to make clear before leaving
the room, Its early.

Rockies. This time, Nate Schierholtz and
Brandon Crawford went deep to spark the
rally.
After Barry Zito on Monday became the
rst Giants pitcher to throw a shutout at Coors
Field, Lincecum couldnt get out of the rst
inning unscathed as Gonzalez hit an RBI
triple to left-center and scored on Troy
Tulowitzkis groundout.
Gonzalez drove in another run with his sec-
ond triple in the third, this one to right eld.
He scored when Lincecums second wild
pitch bounced away from rookie catcher
Hector Sanchez, whose throw to the pitcher
covering the plate was wide.
Sanchez was starting in place of Buster
Posey, who has shingles.
Ramon Hernandezs RBI single made it 6-0,
and after Lincecum walked Chris Nelson to
load the bases with one out and the pitcher
coming up, Giants manager Bruce Bochy
brought in right-hander Daniel Otero.
Otero got Guthrie to ground into an inning-
ending double play, a missed opportunity that
loomed ever larger once the right-hander took
the mound in the top of the fourth and retired
just one of the next seven hitters.
After Melky Cabreras RBI single and
Pablo Sandovals run-scoring double made it
6-4, Reynolds replaced Guthrie, walked his
rst hitter to load the bases and then surren-
dered a two-run single to Sanchez and a sacri-
ce y to Schierholtz that gave the Giants the
lead.
The Rockies regained the lead in the bottom
half of the fourth on Gonzalezs run-scoring
groundout, Tulowitzkis RBI single and
Michael Cuddyers RBI double off Mota that
made it 9-7.
The Rockies scored seven times in the fth.
Marco Scutaros RBI double made it 10-7
and chased Mota, who gave up ve runs, four
earned, and six hits in one-plus inning of
work. Gonzalez singled home a run off
Jeremy Affeldt for his fourth RBI and Helton
followed with a run-scoring double that made
it 12-7.
Thats when things really got crazy.
Hernandez singled home another run, send-
ing Cuddyer to third. Hernandez took second
on an error by rst baseman Brett Pill, who
redirected the throw home into foul territory
along the rst-base line. The catcher retrieved
the ball and Cuddyer found himself caught
halfway between third and home. He retreated
and got into a rundown with Hernandez bar-
reling his way to third.
Cuddyer was safe at home when Pill made
his second error on the play, and Hernandez
reached third safety when Crawford, covering
the bag, missed the tag. He wasnt charged
with an error, but when the wacky play was
over, there were seven Giants all hanging
their heads or shaking them in disbelief
between third base and home plate while the
Rockies were wildly celebrating their luck.
Nelson followed with an RBI double and
Eric Young Jr. an RBI triple that made it 16-7.
Schierholtz hit his second homer, off Tyler
Chatwood, leading off the seventh.
NOTES: The Rockies had eight doubles,
three by Cuddyer, who tied his career high,
and three triples. ... Posey pinch-hit in the
eighth. ... Schierholtzs other two-homer game
was last July 6 vs. San Diego. ... LHP Drew
Pomeranz is set to make his rst start Sunday
after a solid outing for Double-A Tulsa on
Tuesday night in which he threw four score-
less innings and worked his way out of a
bases-loaded, no-out jam at Corpus Christi.

Sharks Dan Boyle said. You want to get
shots, trafc, screen the goalie, get some ugly
rebound goals. Thats usually the key to suc-
cess.
Most of the season the Blues have been a
defense-oriented outt, setting an NHL record
with just 155 goals allowed. Hitchcock is
hopeful the Blues can step it up on offense,
too, with difference-makers David Perron,
Andy McDonald and Alex Steen healthy after
missing huge chunks of the season with con-
cussions and ready to complement a relentless
north-south attack designed to grind down
opponents.
The shifty Perron was second on the team
with 21 goals and totaled 42 points in 57
games. The speedy McDonald had 22 points
in 25 games, and Steen, perhaps the teams
best two-way player, had 28 points in 43
games.
Im excited to see how we look offensive-
ly because I believe we can match against
anybody, Hitchcock said. And I think were
going to prove it.
Perron was sidelined more than a year by a
mid-ice blow to the head delivered by the
Sharks Joe Thornton, who emerged from the
penalty box and caught the Blues player by
surprise. Thornton texted an apology before
Perrons rst game back, the two have spoken,
and Perron said its a non-factor.
It was really dirty to me because he was
coming out of the box, and how can you know
someones coming out of the penalty box?
Perron said. Hes moved on, Ive moved on,
and the biggest thing for us is to beat the
Sharks, not to beat Joe Thornton.
Thornton, the Sharks captain, anticipates
hell be the prime target for heckling.
Were not going to get a warm reception
there, I hope, Thornton said. Theyre not
going to get a warm reception here in San
Jose, I can tell you that much.
The Blues were the rst team to clinch a
playoff spot, the Sharks among the last. That
was most unusual for a franchise thats made
it to the Western Conference nals the last two
seasons.
The Sharks were shut out in both trips to St.
Louis, once each by Elliott and Halak, and led
in only one of the last three meetings.
Obviously, they had our number a little
bit, Sharks forward Ryane Clowe said. We
didnt go over those past games as much mov-
ing forward. Well have to work to get our
chances.
Both coaches realize its a different game
now. Nobodys playing on back-to-back
nights, nobodys worn out from the road, and
theres been plenty of time to concentrate on
the strengths and weaknesses of a single
opponent.
The adjustments that happen from game to
game are a little more dened when you play
in a series, McLellan said. There are
momentum swings. Thats why playoffs exist,
thats why seven-game series are always
exciting, regardless of what sport it is.
Hitchcock noted that the Boston Bruins lost
their rst two games of the playoffs at home
last spring, and still won the Stanley Cup.
Its four games youve got to win, not one.
Anybody knows losing two games in a row
isnt a big deal, losing at home isnt a big
deal, Hitchcock said. Its a long grind, and
you get a chance at redemption right away.
The Sharks will do their best to capitalize
on a decided advantage in the postseason.
We have some experience. We dont have
enough of it, McLellan said. If we would
have had enough of it we would have had
more success the past two years.
But we do have some we can draw on, and
I believe that well need that at some point.
SHARKS
head off, Ragan said. If you come out and
underestimate someone and get hit hard, it
can be done. [Marshall] has to be on top of
his game.
The Burke-John Broussard 165-pound bout
could be a war, given the familiarity between
the two. This will be the fourth time the pair
have squared off, with Burke holding a 2-1
edge.
The other kid has some good pop. Weve
had to work around that power, Ragan said.
Theyve not only seen us in competitions,
but in sparring.
Were very familiar with each other.
[Broussard] is a tough kid, out of San
Jose P.A.L. Hes been around a while. Hes
been dominant in the area, Ragan said.
Billye is ready to go for this one.

There was more upheaval at KNBR
Wednesday when it was learned longtime
drive-time co-host Ralph Barbieri was red.
Details are sketchy about what went down,
but a couple of reputable bloggers believe
it was simply a money-saving move.
All right. I can understand the business
side of things. But cmon. How can manage-
ment so unceremoniously dump a Bay Area
icon no matter what you thought of
Barbieri (I for one was not a huge fan), he
deserved a lot more than a swift kick to the
curb.
I actually think the remaining co-host, Tom
Tolbert, will take off by himself, if manage-
ment lets him. And why wouldnt it? To me,
the whole point of getting rid of Barbieri is
to save the large amount of money he was
making. Why would management turn
around and hire someone else if the whole
point is to save money?
Tolbert has made that show over the years,
so much so when he is on vacation, I would
not turn in to listen to Barbieri. His habit of
talking over guests or going off on self-
absorbed tangents forced me to change the
channel more than once, but Barbieri knew
his Bay Area sports and was denitely not
some thoughtless yeller. He has some of
Gary Radnichs style, but kept it way more
on point than Radnich does.
As for Barbieris future? Who knows? At
an age when most people are thinking retire-
ment, I wouldnt be surprised if he just
stayed dark. But I would also be surprised if
he didnt show up in the media in some way,
shape or form in the future. Given the new
media landscape, someone with Barbieris
talent (and yes, I admit the man is talented)
shouldnt stay on the sideline for very long.

Coco Crisps RBI groundout earlier in the
12th tied it at 4 after Billy Butler doubled home
the go-ahead run in top half of the inning against
Andrew Carignan (1-1).
A day after rain shortened the Royals 3-0 win
following seven-plus innings, fans got their
share of baseball in the nale.
Cespedes already has been hit three times,
and his teammates are taking notice. While
Cespedes didnt think Broxton intentionally
red at him Everybody could see he was
wild he was glad to hear starter Brandon
McCarthy had spoken up on his behalf and that
the pitchers would consider retaliation if it
comes to that point.
Kansas City heads home for the rst time
since the start of spring training in mid-February
at 3-3, but without the same momentum it
would have had with a second winning road
series after taking two of three at Los Angeles.
Oakland closer Grant Balfour pitched a score-
less ninth and 10th. He allowed Alcides
Escobars leadoff single in the 10th and a two-
out walk to Jeff Francoeur on four pitches
before striking out Mike Moustakas.
The As now head out for their rst real road
trip a seven-gamer considering the two
matchups with the Mariners in Tokyo two
weeks ago counted as Oakland home games.
They get Seattle ace Felix Hernandez for the
third time Friday at Safeco Field.
Kansas Citys Alex Gordon hit a tying home
run off Brian Fuentes in the seventh.
Jose Mijares hit Josh Reddick with a breaking
ball in the right shoulder area leading off the
eighth, and the ball ricocheted into Reddicks
neck and jaw as he tried to raise his arm to pro-
tect himself. He went down for a couple of min-
utes before leaving the game. Crisp came in to
run and Greg Holland relieved Mijares, but the
As couldnt capitalize.
Reddick briey had spotty vision and was put
through concussion tests as a precaution but he
expects to play Friday.
That last inning was kind of weird, Reddick
said. You dont really see a game ending like
that.
Gomes hit a two-run homer in the fourth to
put the As ahead and McCarthy in position for
his rst victory of the season before Fuentes
gave it up.
Cespedes doubled, swiped third for his rst
steal and scored on catcher Brayan Penas
throwing error to make it 1-0 in the second.
Pena threw wildly into left eld trying to get
Cespedes at third on his steal.
Cespedes hit his rst career single in the 11th
after his initial ve hits went for extra bases. The
Cuban rookie wrapped up his rst homestand 4
for 16 with two home runs and eight strikeouts.
Gordon also singled in a run in the third for
the Royals, who squandered a chance when they
left the bases loaded in the fth.
McCarthy allowed two runs and six hits in six
innings. Oaklands opening-day starter also
struck out four and walked two in his third
appearance in the teams rst seven games.
The lanky right-hander retired his rst seven
batters and looked more in sync than he did in
going only ve innings his last time out, a 7-3
loss to Seattle in the As home opener last
Friday.

Now that another season of Mad
Men is taking us back to the 1960s,
lovers of Mid-century Modern style are
eyeing the sets for inspiration.
Luckily, the popularity of both the
AMC show and the design style makes it
easy to nd furniture that sets the stage.
The retro decor complements many of
todays furnishings something to
remember when youre trying to capture
that 60s vibe, says Anthony Larosa, for-
mer furniture design department chair at
Savannah College of Art and Design. He
cautions against going all-in on the vin-
tage look, even if you love it.
People would have had a mix of fur-
niture in their homes, he notes. We get
attached to things; we take them with us
when we move and redecorate.
If youre keen to incorporate vintage,
reproduction or newly reissued pieces
from the Mad Men era, he suggests
starting by looking at books and maga-
zines from the period to see what real
interiors looked like.
Thats the approach the shows set
production team took.
LIVING ROOM FURNITURE
Mad Mens set decorator, Claudette
Didul, says she and Production Designer
Dan Bishop are especially proud of the
Manhattan apartment they created for
newlywed characters Don Draper, an ad
agency exec, and his former secretary,
Megan Calvet. The split-level, open-plan
living room was initially envisioned by
show creator Matthew Weiner, but it was
up to the production team to make the
space cool, livable and able to accom-
modate shoot requirements.
We have to be able to move walls,
and set up camera platforms, so we
couldnt have actual furniture in certain
places. The sofa, bench and wall unit are
all built for the space and can be easily
removed, says Didul.
Those looking to capture the look
might like Gus Moderns tweedy, tai-
lored Rochelle sofa, designed by David
Podsiadlo, which looks a lot like the
Drapers ($1,999 at www.wayfair.com).
Crate & Barrels Bel-Air collection of
coffee and side tables features walnut-
stained tops on svelte, cast-aluminum
tripod bases (side $399, coffee $549).
Vintage Danish modern pieces are hard
to nd and often pricey, but the Calista
teak sideboard, with its honey hue and
lean prole, has the look at a reasonable
price ($1,499).
Florence Knolls Lounge series of
geometric chairs and sofas are classics.
While the real thing will set you back
$4,000 or more, you can nd a similar
one at www.roveconcepts.com for $549.
Niels Bendtsens airy, glass-topped,
oating-drawer Homework desk often
sells for about $2,000, but Rove, a
Vancouver, British Columbia-based
retailer, offers it for $899. Theres a wide
variety of inspired by pieces here.
Herman Miller commissioned furni-
ture designer Mark Goetz to design a
sofa that would complement the work of
early Modern icons like Isamu Noguchi,
George Nelson, and Charles and Ray
Eames. The result is a tailored yet com-
fortable leather seat wrapped in a clean
curve of molded plywood veneer
(www.allmodern.com, $3,949).
Goetz says, What makes the best
Mid-century pieces is that they not only
appeal to our personal sense of style;
they have a degree of visual and func-
tional truth that makes people want to
live with them.
LIGHTING
In period TV shows, light xtures are
essential in delivering the right look. On
Mad Men, theyre practically charac-
ters in themselves. Tall, slender wood,
colorful opaque glass, gleaming metal
every sets personality is punctuated
by one or two statement lamps.
Didul says the production team
favored vintage lampshades despite their
fragility. The slubbed silk on them is
just beautiful, and the light through them
is really unique, she says.
Hers came from Los Angeles-area
prop shops and vintage stores.
You can nd similar versions, such as
Lamp Works walnut Tulip table and
oors lamps (from $224.89 to $427.39 at
www.wayfair.com), and www.shades-
oight.coms long-necked turquoise or
orange ceramic table lamps ($129 each).
Babette Hollands new capsule-shaped
Gemini and Apollo lamp designs refer-
ence the 60s space missions. Shes done
some of the bases in solid hues, others in
her signature stripes, but the palette is
true to the era cranberry, gold, olive,
sapphire ($450 each at

Owning the property, as opposed to leasing it,
will allow more stability and a greater oppor-
tunity to work with donors. Plus, Maltz said
the organization can now spend more time
focused on offering programs to the commu-
nity.
The NPJC will continue to operate and offer
its facilities, including the Peninsula Jewish
Community Center and the Ronald C.
Wornick Jewish Day School, to the communi-
ty and its members. The 140,000-square-foot
center is located at 800 Foster City Blvd. and
has 10,000 members, half of which reside in
Foster City, according to the PJCC.
The lease was initially signed with Foster
City in 1998. More recently, the lease result-
ed in a dispute regarding plans to build a cul-
tural arts center. A permit for one had not
been secured by 2008. After mediation and
non-binding arbitration, the sides began dis-
cussing the sale of the property as a possible
solution.
Under the terms, the $20 million deal
includes a $1 million down payment and a
$19 million promissory note at 3.25 percent
interest for 25 years. The loan is secured by a
rst position deed of trust held by the City.
Obligations under the current lease includ-
ing obligations for future construction and
modication or elimination of discounts for
Foster City residents will no longer apply
while the NPJC pays off the promissory note
to Foster City.
In addition, the parking area currently used
by the NPJC located on the adjacent and cur-
rently vacant 15 acres owned by the city will
be replaced with an alternative permanent
parking site which should be completed later
this year.
In May, the Planning Commission will con-
sider a change in the land use designation to
accommodate the change in ownership. Then,
the City Council will consider the sale in late
May or June. Escrow would close within 90
days of the sales approval.
While the council has not yet discussed
what it will do with the revenue, Assistant
City Manager Steve Toler said the sale will
not be approved as a way to address the citys
structural deficit. The plan is to look at
responsible, long-term uses for the funds, he
said. What those uses could be will be dis-
cussed at a City Council budget study session
Monday, May 14.

Weve been told that the colors remind
people of those 1950s tumblers, so they
immediately love them, she says, talking
about the aluminum drinkware found in many
homes at the time. So much of the design of
that period is timeless. We did our best to tap
into that and bring it forward.
ART, ETC.
Most of the modern art on Mad Men isnt
actually vintage. Didul has found great pieces
at rental galleries such as Art Pic in Los
Angeles, and through artist friends.
The dramatic dot graphic in the shows ad
agency ofce was created by the art depart-
ment under Bishops guidance. The piece
echoes the work of English Op Art proponent
Bridget Riley. Similar posters are at www.zaz-
zle.com, starting at about $100.
You can nd reproduced examples of one of
that eras most prolic designers, George
Nelson, known for sunburst, asterisk, polygon
and ball wall clocks (Polygon clock, $590 at
www.wayfair.com) as well as the molded
polypropylene Swag desk chair and
Marshmallow sofa ($499 and $3,299 respec-
tively at www.hivemodern.com).

weeks 100th anniversary of Titanics sinking
has merely magnied the Titanics fascina-
tion.
There were catastrophes before that fateful
Sunday night in April 1912, but nothing quite
captivated the newly wireless-connected
globes attention. It was more than news. It
was a macabre form of entertainment.
Bigger, deadlier disasters followed, but they
all borrowed from the storylines morality
plays, really established by the Titanics
sinking: The high-prole investigations ...
wall-to-wall news coverage ... issues of
blame, technological hubris, ignored warnings
and economic fairness all were themes that
played out in the BP oil spill, the space shut-
tle disasters, Hurricane Katrina, the Exxon
Valdez and the recent grounding of the Costa
Concordia.
The story is ageless, like all great stories,
said James Delgado, director of maritime her-
itage at the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration. The elements
in this case of triumph, tragedy, and hubris, of
bravery and cowardice, all wrapped up in one
brief moment. That speaks to people.
And to this day, The Titanic is big business
in movies, books, songs, poetry and museum
exhibits hundreds of miles from the nearest
ocean. Dozens of tourists have paid tens of
thousands of dollars to dive in Russian sub-
mersibles to visit the ships watery grave and
see in the ocean oor where the Titanic dug
in and the ship created this knife-like sharp
edge, Delgado said.
For decades that burial spot was unknown,
but the discovery of the Titanic in 1985
brought Titanic back to the worlds attention.
Then a dozen years later, another man raised
the Titanic to an even greater fame with a
multi-Academy Award winning movie and
follow-up documentaries. This was, he said, a
parable that the storyteller in him could not
ignore.
Its this great sort of metaphorical novel
that actually happened, said Titanic direc-
tor James Cameron. You can go and visit the
wreck and go and see this monument to
human folly.
The 882-foot long Titanic steamed from
Queenstown, Ireland, on Apr. 11 toward New
York, carrying more than 2,200 passengers
and crew, more than 130,000 pounds of meat
and sh, 1,750 pounds of ice cream, 400
asparagus tongs and only 20 of the 32
lifeboats designed to be on board. The ship
ignored more than 30 different ice warnings.
At 11:40 p.m. on April 14, The Titanic hit an
iceberg and stalled. At 2:20 a.m., it sank.
Before the Titanic, the great Chicago re,
the Galveston hurricane and the San Francisco
earthquake attracted Americas attention, but
the Titanic hit a nerve in a different way,
said Kevin Rozario, a professor of American
Studies at Smith College. Its the dramatic
quality of the Titanic.
Everything about the sinking its speed
and the fact that everybody was in one place
added to the drama.
In fact, the Titanics sinking took about as
long as a stage play of that era, noted John
Wilson Foster, a Queens University Belfast
professor who wrote several Titanic books.
The survivors did say during the sinking it
seemed like a play, Foster said.
The public, especially in the past century,
has become increasingly fascinated with dis-
asters, especially technological ones. Thats
because it helps us cope with increased mech-
anization, risk and deep-rooted questions
about what it means to be human, said
Rozario, author of the book Culture of
Calamity. He said disasters reect everyday
fears that at we often ignore. When a catastro-
phe happens, we see ourselves in the story-
lines that play out.
And with Titanic, the storylines played out
instantly thanks to the recent innovation of
wireless telegraphy. Even before the
Carpathia arrived in New York with survivors,
the story starts to get told in a particular way
before there is any substantial information
about what happened, said Harvard
University professor Steven Biel. Its unprece-
dented how quickly the story goes around the
world.
TITANIC
SUBURBAN LIVING 19

Every spring, the magnolia
growing on the side of our house is
the first tree in the neighborhood to
burst into bloom. Some years, it is
a full two weeks ahead of trees just
like it growing in yards nearby. The
secret to its early bloom is not spe-
cial attention paid to its care; on
the contrary, I probably neglect it
more than other trees in the yard.
The reason this magnolia is the
first to bloom is that it is growing
in a microclimate.
Microclimates are, as their name
implies, small areas or locations
affected by environmental factors
that set them apart from the norm.
Environmental influences such as
radiant heat, protection from wind
and sun, or nearby bodies of cold
or warm water can all create micro-
climates. These areas may a few
degrees warmer or a few degrees
cooler than the surrounding envi-
ronment, and that can make a
marked difference for what kind of
plant will grow there. In the mag-
nolias case, growing close to the
southwest side of our home, it
enjoys radiant heat from the house
and is sheltered from any direct
wind.
Perceptive gardeners can take
advantage of microclimates to
improve a plants chances for sur-
vival plants that are marginally
hardy. Gardeners in zone 5, for
example, may be able to grow
plants hardy only in the warmer
climate of zone 6.
A gardening friend of mine in
coastal Rhode Island has really
taken advantage of microclimates
in his garden. He grows a type of
shrubby palm tree not commonly
found growing north of the
Carolinas, which are several zones
warmer than southern New
England.
Another way microclimates help
certain plants grow better is when
they match other needs of the plant,
such as the right amount of mois-
ture. Sedums, for example, like
sharp drainage and store water in
their tissues. Thus, many varieties
grow much better when planted on
rocky slopes often in full hot sun.
Excess moisture, which often caus-
es the roots of these types of plants
to rot, does not accumulate in such
conditions, and the plants thrive.
Fostering microclimates is not
restricted to creating warmer
areas. The opposite can be done as
well. Plants that detest heat can be
sited in cool microclimates. The
same friend who grows the palms
also grows the cherished
Himalayan blue poppy,
Meconopsis betonicifolia. These
beautiful plants with deep cerulean
blue flowers dont tolerate heat, so
my friend planted them on the
north slope of a tall bank just
above a stream. As far as I know,
he is the only gardener growing
them successfully in his area.
Microclimates can be created
easily enough in any garden, but
creating a warm spot is usually eas-
ier than creating a cool one. Sun
obviously plays a factor, and most
microclimates are designed to cre-
ate warm spots in the garden.
However, if you live in cold
regions of the country where the
ground routinely freezes solid,
warm sunny spots can be detrimen-
tal to some plants.
Broadleaf evergreen plants
exposed to winter sun will often
develop brown spots or brown
edges on their leaves if grown in
locations where the sun beats down
on them when the ground is frozen.
These types of plants continue to
lose water through their leaves,
even in winter. When their roots
dont have access to water due to
frozen ground, the cells in the
leaves die.
Many broadleaf evergreens, such
as rhododendrons and southern
magnolias, are much happier when
grown in winter shade. Planting
them out of the winter sun will
often improve their hardiness and
avoid leaf damage due to winter
sun.
Have a look around your back-
yard this spring and see where you
might take advantage of existing
microclimates or create some new
ones. You will discover that it
makes for a more interesting gar-
den.
Climate change we can believe in
Sedum is a plant that thrives in an articial microclimate: a rock garden
with exposure to the hot sun.

property to be preserved for permanent

marsh restoration and the remaining half
be developed into housing, schools,
parks and retail and transit facilities. The
site could have up to 12,000 housing
units.
Since 2006, DMB Pacic Ventures has
engaged Redwood City residents on the
future on the Saltworks site. In 2008,
Measure W asked voters to change the
citys charter to effectively stop the
Saltworks project but was defeated.
Also in 2008, Measure V asked voters;
Shall a Charter Amendment requiring
majority voter approval for future devel-
opment of the Cargill Lands, consisting
of approximately 1,450 acres east of
Highway 101 and south of Seaport
Boulevard, with exemptions for takings
and vested rights, be adopted? It was
also was rejected by voters.
Since that time, the city has embarked
on an extensive environmental review of
the Saltworks site. In response to the sig-
nicant amount of public input during
the citys review process, DMB notied
city staff that they were evaluating future
alternatives for the Saltworks site, which
continues today.
The announcement of the Saltworks
plan was the start of a lengthy period of
official study, evaluation and public
review. The City Council will make nal
decisions on the development based
upon the impacts and benefits to
Redwood City.
Foust asked the council to consider,
calling for an advisory vote on the proj-
ect description after the EIR is present-
ed to the city. The council and city staff
is currently waiting for the EIR to be
completed.
Recently, a community group calling
itself Redwood City Neighbors United
has been critical of the councils EIR
process. The groups slogan is, We
believe in responsible growth not
Saltworks!
At minimum, this creates the appear-
ance of a conict of interest that will
result in studies that may be perceived
by the public as biased, wrote Dan
Ponti, the co-chair of Redwood City
Neighbors United, on the EIR process.
At worst, it affords Cargill/DMB the
clear opportunity to control the content
and conclusions of reports before any-
one, including the City, gets to see
them.
Redwood City Mayor Alicia Aguirre
took exception to the groups comments
and responded in a letter.
Only when the new review and scop-
ing process is complete, and the project
description is nalized and ready for
environmental review, will the city begin
preparation of the EIR document, inde-
pendently, with the citys own consult-
ants, her letter stated. Its a fundamen-
tal responsibility of Redwood City to
analyze the project description in a
transparent, impartial, detailed manner,
and bring it into the public review
process.
Foust is the chief executive of the San
Mateo County Economic Development
Association, also known as SAMCEDA,
which has endorsed the project. Last
year, Foust received a ruling from the
states Fair Political Practices
Commission that she acted in violation
of state ethics rules when she participat-
ed in a decision regarding the project.
She has since voluntarily recused herself
from any council discussion of the proj-
ect.
But you have been dinged consistent-
ly out there and Ive been dinged, which
is why I will not be involved in discus-
sion in the future, Foust said as she
addressed her colleagues about commu-
nity discussions on the proposed devel-
opment. She also expressed concern
about how the project is continuing to
divide the community and taking a
tremendous toll on the council and
city staff. The measure would, she said,
allow the council to hear from the pub-
lic at large in addition to the various
interested groups.
A representative from Save the Bay,
the environmental nonprofit strongly
against the project, said it is premature
to comment on Fousts proposal.
We have a rough sense of what she
said, said Stephen Knight, political
director of Save the Bay, about Fousts
proposal.
The developer also has a wait-and see-
approach.
We are considering the implications
of giving voters a say on whether to
undertake environmental review of a
revised restoration and reuse plan for the
Saltworks property and await details of
what the City Council wants to do said
Jay Reed, director of Communications
and Strategic Planning for DMB
Associates, Inc.
I feel that a well-crafted project
description that includes fundamental
community benets would be enough to
present to the voters of Redwood City,
Foust said. This is an opportunity for
this council to discuss this, and con-
sider putting it on an agenda for a future
meeting.
This is an opportunity for you to lead,
for you to actually step out and say this
is what we need to do for our communi-
ty, Foust told her colleagues.
Aguirre said she would look at the
suggestion and put it on an agenda for a
future council meeting to discuss.
This is an opportune time to explore
various options in moving forward on
this unprecedented project for the com-
munity of Redwood City, said Aguirre.
Prior to re-engaging in that process, the
City Council may want to consider
whether the revised project is of interest
to the community and worthy of further
exploration and analysis.
VOTE
county supervisor.
Keith, 45, is running against seven oth-
ers to follow Supervisor Rose Jacobs
Gibson who is being termed out. Keith
said the large candidate pool isnt what
makes running for a county seat different
than her runs for city government;
instead, she says it is geography.
Supervisors are elected countywide and
Keith said the challenge is making sure
even those in Daly City, the furthest
reach from District Four, know who she
is and what shes about.
Of course, Keith is no stranger to
speaking up and getting out. As a defense
attorney, mayor and afliate of a lengthy
roster of organizations and activities
not to mention the mother of two chil-
dren, one boy and one girl Keith is
always busy. She ticks off two decades of
service and currently serves on the advi-
sory board of Community Overcoming
Relationship Abuse and the Legal Aid
Luncheon Committee which raises
money to provide legal services to those
in the county.
I dont watch a lot of TV, she joked.
But she said participation and volun-
teering are more than just stepping stones
to elected ofce.
These are things that are always
important to me, Keith said.
Keiths interest in human rights and
social justice were strongly inuenced by
time spent in Santiago, Chile at age 12.
Keith was born in San Jose and attended
high school in Redwood City and
Belmont but moved to the South
American country because her stepfather
worked for a mining company. The coun-
try was in the midst of the Pinochet
regime, which Keith called a tough time
to be there, and she said it drew her to a
minor in international relations at the
University of California at Santa Barbara
and public interest work after law school
at Golden Gate University. In Chile,
Keith also learned Spanish, a skill she
remembers using while taking calls at the
domestic violence organization Sor
Juana Inez and while handling political
asylum and immigration cases.
Keith sees her criminal defense work
as another mode of public interest and, as
a member of the countys private defend-
er panel, she does a lot of misdemeanor
and domestic violence cases.
That same interest in giving back led
her to city government, rst community
mediation and housing committees,
eventually the Planning Commission and
in 2010 City Council of the town shes
called home since 1996. She hadnt con-
sidered the council but people asked her
to run, Keith said.
The timing made sense, she said.
During her time, the Menlo Park City
Council has gotten a lot of attention for
attracting its newest resident
Facebook. The social media giant now
calls the Belle Haven neighborhood
home, bringing with it 9,400 potential
jobs to the county and a highly anticipat-
ed IPO. Keith said working with the
company, which she called a great cor-
porate citizen showed her that business-
es can become highly involved in their
communities the company joined
forces with the Boys and Girls Club, for
example and sees it as an example of
the economic development shed like to
promote in San Mateo County if elected.
But as with the City Council, Keith
said she needed a little pushing into the
county supervisor race. Keith was a rela-
tive latecomer, pulling nomination
papers long after many of the other can-
didates had already announced. But with
others telling her it would be a good t
and a growing list of endorsements,
Keith said she decided to take the chance.
If she wins, Keith said it wont likely
seem too different for her children, now
12 and 14. After a decade of meetings
and thick agenda packets, Keith said
theyre used to their mom going off for
hours.
It isnt odd for them, she said, adding
she thinks it is good to set an example for
them through service and participation.
She also thinks its good to speak up
against wrongs.
In March, Keith led a complaint with
the Elections Ofce over the ballot des-
ignation of opponent Warren Slocum
who listed his former position of chief
elections officer and assessor-county
clerk-recorder as though it was current. A
judge and Chief Elections Ofcer Mark
Church agreed, leading to Slocum
changing the wording.
Its important when in public ofce to
be open and transparent, Keith said. If
I see something that is not right, Im
going to call it.

KEITH
Keypriorities
The budget
Budget
Id do it thoughtfully and look at
everything ... Id ask the right
questions to come to some
solutions about what to cut.
Tax measures
Supports all three on the June
ballot.
Economic development
Create more jobs, attend
conferences to encourage people
to relocate themselves and
business and team up more with
the San Mateo County Economic
Development Association.
Transportation
Happy to see money set aside for
Caltrain electrication and
supports the blended system for
high-speed rail. Also wants the
High-Speed Rail Authority to only
study the two-track plan on the
Peninsula and take the four-track
idea out of the business plan.
Thenewjail
Favored a new facility, particularly
to replace the womens jail, but
called future decisions on size and
funding complicated.
Those are tough decisions and its
not easy.
Health care districts
Its important that the state does
take a look at the districts and Im
glad they are ... Its a complicated
issue when the districts hold onto
so much money yet health and
human services have such a great
need.
Balancing district vs. county
needs
You have to be interested in the
whole area and go to the different
parts ...You just stay informed and
talk to people. You have to be a
personwhowants tobeengaged.
Housing
Would work with existing agencies
like HEART, HIP Housing and
Shelter Network; alsopromoteinll
housing and high-density near
train stations and transit corridors.
Districtversusat-largeelections
There are pluses and minuses to
everything and the point of the
lawsuit is to say minorities have a
tougher time running countywide.
... If the county moves to district
elections I dont think that means
ignoringother parts of thecounty.
Keith on the issues
THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2012
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You wont be looking for
a free lunch, though your desire for material accumu-
lation will be quite strong. Youll be prepared to work
for what you hope to get, and thats a good thing.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- In addition to your fair
for detail, youll have another dimension that could
serve you well. Itll be your ability to see whatever is
important to you in its entirety.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It does you no good
to be overly anxious about matters that affect your
material well-being. Just keep on top of the things
that make you a proft, and youll be fne.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If youre required to
make a decision that would affect others as well as
yourself, remain calm. Fortunately, your judgment is
exceptionally astute in this current cycle.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Give it all youve got, be-
cause your efforts will not go unnoticed or unacknowl-
edged by persons who sit in judgment of your work.
Once you gain their respect, youll become a favorite.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- In case you didnt know,
imitation is the sincerest form of fattery. Youre likely
to be surprised when someone whom you thought
disliked you starts to copy your every move.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Something in which
youre involved could start to produce far more than
you ever thought possible. Its time to take another
look at your various endeavors and work on the
promising ones.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Although you are likely
to be far more dynamic when dealing with friends on
a one-on-one basis, you should be able to get along
with just about everybody at present.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Even though your
prospects look encouraging both materially and
fnancially, large rewards are likely to come only from
special efforts on your part.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you can, hang
out with persons you know socially, because they
could prove lucky. If you have any pressing problems,
theyll be the ones to help.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Its OK to put trust in
your faith, because thats what will get the job done.
Believe in your creed, it wont let you down.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Over the next few
days, two separate friends could play enormously
important roles in your affairs. Each will help you
make a dynamic change in your life in different ways.
