Jail money fight not over

San Mateo County officials look for legislation,support from unions
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The countys absence from the list of those receiving state money for new jails wasnt surprising San Mateo County hadnt even been invited to apply. But county officials remain undaunted, believing a combination of legislation by Assemblyman
Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, and supporting advocacy by the construction trades can help them nab at least some money toward constructing a new 576-bed jail in Redwood City beginning by the end of the year. Were not trying to take money from other counties. Were trying to get the state to use the money they have in a responsible and wise way,
said Deputy County Manager Mary McMillan. McMillan and Assistant Sheriff Trish Sanchez made a last-ditch appeal to the Corrections Standards Authority Thursday before it announced $602 million to 11 other counties. We didnt expect them to just say heres some money but we wanted to go on record with our
proposal and say that there are counties who arent building for at least a couple years. Were as close to shovel ready as anything in the state, said Sheriff Greg Munks. While McMillan also said they werent necessarily expecting their words to push a change of heart, she hopes their questioning of the current process and policies makes a difference down the road.
For example, she said, counties can sit on the money until 2017 and many dont yet have plans or even a site both which San Mateo County does. If you really want some of this money to go out and create jobs and the goal is not just to build a jail, wouldnt you want it to be used

Younger students at Central Middle School in San Carlos may soon have more class options as ofcials consider changing the schedule to allow for more elective opportunities. Curriculum discussions throughout the school year have found a new focus for the local districts middle schools: A desire to expose children to more elective experiences. In San Carlos, middle schools serve students in fifth
through eighth grades. To offer more opportunities to younger students, Central is considering a seven-period day, block schedule or some kind of combination in the fall. Changing the daily schedule could offer smaller class sizes while introducing students to a variety of electives, said Principal Steven Kaufman during Thursday nights board meeting. The Middle School Administrative team meets once a month. One of the main focuses we

Deciding to donate jump ropes to children in a third-world country has posed challenges for 10-yearolds Emma Romanowsky and Phoebe Rak. The original idea was to send ecofriendly ropes. But those are $15 while an average one can be purchased at a local discount store for only $1. Should the girls buy the green ones and help fewer children or buy the cheaper version and help
more kids? Then there was the obstacle of time. The fourth grade girls had envisioned meeting together twice a week for the project. Instead, they were faced with scheduling issues and have learned to split duties and check in with each other via email. Rak, for example, created a website to promote their cause and emailed friends. Romanowsky is nishing up a ier to put around town and at school. Together theyre planning a jump-a-thon at Brittan Acres Elementary School later this
month to raise funds to buy the jump ropes. Rak and Romanowsky are two of more than 200 students in the San Carlos Elementary School District taking part in the Rite Of Passage ExperienceS project, known as R.O.P.E.S. Offered to fourth, sixth and eighth grade students, the project is optional for the young learners who take on the challenge in addition to their day-to-day school work.

The Girl Scouts of the USA had its beginnings as Juliette Gordon Low of Savannah, Ga., founded the first American troop of the Girl Guides.
In 1664, Englands King Charles II granted an area of land in present-day North America known as New Netherland to his brother James, the Duke of York. In 1864, Ulysses S. Grant was promoted to the rank of general-in-chief of the Union armies in the Civil War by President Abraham Lincoln. In 1913, Canberra was ofcially designated the future capital of Australia. In 1932, the so-called Swedish Match King, Ivar Kreuger, was found shot dead in his Paris apartment, an apparent suicide, leaving behind a nancial empire that turned out to be worthless. In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered the rst of his 30 radio reside chats, telling Americans what was being done to deal with the nations economic crisis. In 1938, the Anschluss merging Austria with Nazi Germany took place as German forces crossed the border between the two countries. In 1947, President Harry S.

Jury will soon offer nale in Housewivestrial
LOS ANGELES For eight seasons, Marc Cherry has woven conict, mystery and death into the story lines of ABCs Desperate Housewives, but soon 12 jurors will be the ones supplying suspense for the veteran television writer. Deliberations in actress Nicollette Sheridans wrongful termination lawsuit begin this week, with the panel deciding whether they believe the actress was red after complaining Cherry, the series creator and show-runner, struck her on the set. He denies walloping her and contends her demise from the hit series was a long-planned plot point. Seven days of testimony have revealed conicting stories that could easily have been scripted in the Housewives writers room, providing a fascinating look behind the scenes of a hit prime-time series, complete with nancial pressures, cast conicts and secret meetings all on display. Jurors have watched montages and outtakes from the show, including the 48 and counting deaths aired since the series began in 2004. Much of the case has centered on the events in 2008, but moments after actor James Denton nished testifying, jurors heard an inadvertent spoiler about his character. Cherry has portrayed Sheridan as a polarizing gure on set, bickering with Teri Hatcher during the rst season, not unlike the plot line at the time. He also testied that Eva Longoria and Felicity Huffman were relieved to learn in December 2008 that Sheridans role as Edie Britt was being eliminated. Yet he praised Sheridan as an actress who performed so well in the shows pilot that he lobbied to make her a series regular and share the shows prots. Jurors wont hear directly from Longoria or Huffman after a judge deemed their testimony unnecessary. Sheridan attorney Mark Baute has noted that none of Cherrys allegations of bad behavior were ever documented, and Cherry himself maintains he opted to kill off Edie in the fth season primarily for creative reasons. Baute has accused Cherry and others of conspiring to make it appear they made the decision before the on-set ght, when Cherry instead cut Sheridans role only after ABC ofcials cleared him of wrongdoing. Her departure allowed the show to save much of the $200,000 per episode Sheridan would have earned if she survived into season six. Cherry and George Perkins, an executive producer, have said Desperate Housewives was under pressure at the time to cut costs. If she wins, Sheridan is seeking more than $6 million. Desperate Housewives was a ratings powerhouse in its early seasons, attracting more than 28 million viewers on some Sundays, but its audience has dwindled in recent years. It has won seven Emmy awards and as of last year earned more than $1.129 billion. Nearly 15 million viewers tuned in on the night in March 2009 when Edies character escaped strangulation and survived a car crash, only to be electrocuted by a downed power line. Baute has said the scenario reects Cherrys animosity toward Sheridan after she accused him of striking her. The primary reason I killed off the character was because I thought it was the best thing for my show, Cherry said.

Early San Bruno-Millbrae gambling

uch could be said for incorporating a city and one included developing and funding adequate police departments. In the 1940s, Millbrae was trying to cope with the many illegal activities that had been going on in the community for many years. Many places of the Peninsula were unincorporated and Millbrae was still one of them. With incorporation, an effective police force could be established to confront and solve this problem. The unincorporated segments of the county had only minimal interest by the sheriff who was greatly understaffed for a county as big as San Mateo. His standard advice to the people of the area was to take care of the problem themselves as best they could. A protective patrol was formed in Millbrae and was utilized by many households but this didnt take care of the lower business districts problems and very little control over their gambling places was gained. Residents who wanted to live in a quiet, respectable community felt helpless against the crime gures who appeared to have the county in their palms. In Millbrae, seven establishments had registered their slot machine with the federal government and obtained permits to operate them, but there were many others operating under

California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. It is expected to produce nearly $85 million annually for the state starting in scal 2012-13, the Sacramento Bee reported Sunday. Gov. Jerry Brown wants to charge rural residents for the costs of re protection, in part because of the increase of people moving to wildland areas, the newspaper reported. But critics say there is no new service in exchange for the fee that would be imposed in areas that include wildland and watershed areas. They also argue that rural homeowners are being penalized unfairly. Nevada County Supervisor Hank Westin called the $150 charge a farce to ll a budget gap created by the state. There is not an increased service level. (State ofcials) are going to take the money and hire more people to collect the fee. But according to state re ofcials, because there are more homes in rural areas, the cost of ghting wildres has gone up. George Gentry, executive ofcer of the state Board of Forestry and Fire

But in the case of a wildland re, where re is coming from the forest toward a community, that requires additional resources for protection, thats the rationale, Gentry said.

January to mid-April to work on their project before presenting it to judges. Students whose project meets the R.O.P.E.S. requirements are given a rope to wear during eighth grade graduation. Its probably the most fun thing I get to do during the year. Its a fabulous experience seeing the project from beginning to end, said Superintendent Craig Baker, who added as the district continues to talk about 21st century learning these are the types of projects hed like to see more of. Lynette Hovland, director of curriculum, instruction and accountability, explained the project is only offered to students who are experiencing a rite of passage. Fourth grade students, for example, will soon be in middle school. Sixth graders will soon be in the upper division of middle school. And, eighth grade students are about to enter high school. Its one of the only opportunities for kids to do something self directed. Its an academic ritual that involves a reallife experience, said Hovland. Students choose from a set of challenges, which were updated this year. Options include creativity/appreciation of the arts; innovation/invention; adventure/personal challenge; cooperative games; service/advocacy; and, for eighth graders only, personal reections. Once students choose a topic, the work begins. To complete the project, students must log time, write a report,
prepare a visual aid and oral presentation. Finally, they must present their project to a panel of judges in mid-April that decides if they earn their rope which are different colors depending on the grade. Despite being a voluntary program, more than 200 students participate annually. Hovland believes the high turnout is due to the long history of the program, which has been a district tradition for more than 10 years. One point stressed by the district and principals is that while parents are encouraged to be supportive, its a student project. The students need to gure out how to make it happen. Rak and Romanowsky, for example, were surprised to learn how many little things go into planning an event. It takes a lot to plan an event. We have to prioritize our time, said Romanowsky. Then there was the obstacle of getting the jump ropes to the children at the Working Boys Center in Quito, Ecuador. Thankfully, a group of locals travels to Ecuador annually to work with the community. Theyve agreed to carry the jump ropes with them on their trip this June, said Rak. Hovland, who previously served in the district as a principal, has long enjoyed watching what students come up with in this open-ended program. One year, for example, she had two sixth grade boys who decided to do a bake sale alongside an annual school event to raise funds to help cover the installation costs of a new playground. By reaching out to the Parent Teacher Association, the boys project became a community event with many donated goods and coffee as well as proceeds to
help provide a new safe structure at school. In another example, eighth grade girls put together a scrapbook of their middle school experience and wrote accompanying speeches on the topic. Students have built miniature golf courses, made cookbooks and shy children have come out of their shells by sharing their love of art. Oftentimes, student realize a problem in the middle, like they need money to ship donated books being collected for students in Africa a real problem for a previous group. Then this year students at Arundel are working together since multiple groups came up with the idea of collecting food for the local food bank. But each of these problems allows students to work together and build real life problem-solving skills, which is the point. I think its the best thing we do, Hovland said of the project. To support Rak and Romanowsky, or to register for the event, visit http://jumpforcharity.yolasite.com/. The jump-a-thon will be held from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, March 24 at Brittan Acres Elementary School, 2000 Belle Ave. in San Carlos. Jumping will take place from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Suggested donation to jump is $5. The event will include music, prizes, guest jumpers and a jump rope for each participant. People are also encouraged to donate jump ropes.

Past pension boosts deferred costs

By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO The recent loss of tens of billions of dollars from Californias public pension funds may have raised awareness about the high cost of guaranteed benefits for public workers, but reform advocates s a y t h e
unsustainable system has been years or even decades in the making. While Democratic lawmakers stall on taking up Gov. Jerry Browns proposal to reform pensions, those who support rolling back benets point to past political decisions that have left taxpayers facing billions of dollars in unfunded liabilities today. In the early 1990s, a union-led initiative gave the states main pension fund exclusive authority over management and investments, putting the interests of retirees ahead of taxpayers. During the dot-com boom, the state approved enhanced retirement benets and raised pay for state workers, exposing taxpayers to greater liability. The investment gains from the housing bubble allowed public pensions to mask what the system has
been doing for decades: deferring the retirement benet costs for current workers to future generations of taxpayers. Were in a place where were promising taxpayers 30 years from now are going to pay. And its wrong, said Dan Pellissier, president of California Pension Reform, a conservative group that recently suspended its campaign for pension reform after it failed to raise enough money to mount a signature-gathering drive. Dave Low, executive director of the California School Employees Association and chairman of Californians for Retirement Security, said its inaccurate to blame the current pension problem on enhanced retirement benets. He noted that the California Public Employees Retirement System, or CalPERS, lost $69 billion, more than a quarter of its value, in the
2008 housing and stock market crash. He said many unions have agreed to roll back early retirement for new employees and current workers are contributing more toward their pensions as a result of recent labor negotiations. When people say its not due to the stock market, its really due to the benets, that does not stand up to the math, Low said. Reform supporters point to Proposition 162, a 1992 voterapproved initiative that gave the labor union-friendly CalPERS board complete authority over investments and administration, shifting the pension funds allegiance from elected ofcials and taxpayers to public employees and retirees. Labor leaders who campaigned for the initiative say the change was necessary to prevent then-Gov. Pete Wilson, a Republican, and lawmakers from
using the fund to help close the state spending gap. Marty Morgenstern, Browns secretary of the Labor and Workforce Development Agency, said if taxpayers are going to be on the hook for paying pension checks, they should have a greater say over how funds are managed and invested. Under the CalPERS board structure, six of the 13 members are union members. Brown, a Democrat, wants to add two independent members with nancial expertise to the board. Rosy economic times also gave state and local governments a false sense of security, since pension funds move up and down with the overall health of the economy. CalPERS, which was 71 percent funded in 1990, grew to be overfunded in the next decade, to as much as 116 percent in 2000. The fund was down to 63 percent in 2010, the most recent data available.

Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum on Sunday nudged rival Newt Gingrich to step aside, arguing a head-to-head contest between himself and Mitt Romney should occur sooner rather than later. A deant Gingrich predicted victories in Tuesdays primaries in Alabama and Mississippi and called Romney the weakest Republican front-runner in nearly a century. Santorum and Gingrich were campaigning hard two days before what has become a potentially decisive Southern showdown for the GOP eld. Losing Alabama and Mississippi would effectively spell the end for Gingrich, who has banked his waning prospects on an all-Southern strategy. The former House speakers lone primary wins have been in South Carolina and Georgia, a state
he represented in Congress for 20 years. A win for Romney in Alabama, where polling shows a tight contest b e t w e e n R o m n e y , Newt Gingrich Gingrich and Santorum, could all but bring the GOP nominating contest to a close. The form e r Massachusetts governor has built a substantial delegate lead Rick Santorum against his rivals but has failed so far to win a state in the deep South, home to the Republican Partys most conservative voters.
Santorum, who has battled to be Romneys chief conservative foe, burnished his standing with a decisive win in Saturdays cauMitt Romney cuses in Kansas. The former Pennsylvania senator also carried contests last week in Oklahoma and Tennessee, giving him a toehold in the South. On NBCs Meet the Press, Santorum said Gingrichs recent stretch of weak showings suggests he has few options left in the race. Gingrich placed third in Kansas and dead last in Wyoming, whose caucuses Romney won easily Saturday. The speaker can stay in as long as he wants, but I think the better opportunity to make sure that we nominate a conservative is to give us
an opportunity to go head-to-head with Gov. Romney at some point and hopefully that will occur sooner rather than later, Santorum said, adding he wasnt directly asking Gingrich to get out. Santorum attended church in Tupelo, Miss., Sunday morning and had campaign stops scheduled in Meridian and Gulfport later in the day. Gingrich was also campaigning in Mississippi, where he planned to attend Baptist church services in Brandon and headline a rally there. The Gingrich campaign also deployed a truth squad across Mississippi, led by Bob Walker, a lobbyist and former House colleague now chairing Gingrichs campaign. On Fox News Sunday, Gingrich compared Romney to Leonard Wood, a U.S. Army general from New Hampshire who ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 1920 but lost on the tenth ballot to
Warren Harding. Hes not a very strong front-runner, Gingrich said of Romney. Almost all conservatives are opposed, which is the base of the party. And I think we are likely to see after the last primary in June, were likely to see a 60-day conversation about whats going to happen. In August Republicans head to their national convention in Tampa, Fla. Gingrich also took aim at Santorum, saying his support for earmarks and other spending projects while in Congress had alienated voters from the Republican party in 2006. Republicans lost both the House and Senate that year, and Santorum lost re-election to the Senate by an 18-point margin. This is somebody who on a number of occasions had Washington change him he admits it and he says its a team sport. You had to go along to get along, Gingrich said of Santorum.
Govt cant keep up with information requests

WASHINGTON The Obama administration couldnt keep pace with the increasing number of people asking for copies of government documents, emails, photographs and more under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, according to a new analysis of the latest federal data by The Associated Press. Federal agencies did better last year trying to fulll requests, but still fell further behind with backlogs, due mostly to surges in immi-
gration records requested from the Homeland Security Department. It released all or portions of the information that citizens, journalists, businesses and others sought and outright rejected other requests at about the same rate as the previous two years. The AP analyzed gures over the last three years from 37 of the largest federal departments and agencies. There was progress: The government responded to more requests than ever in 2011 more than 576,000 a 5 percent increase
from the year before. Ofces less frequently cited legal provisions that allow them to keep records secret, especially emails and documents describing how federal ofcials make important decisions. Agencies took less time, on average, to turn over records: about one month for requests it considered simple and about three months for more complicated requests. And 23 of 37 agencies reduced their individual backlogs of requests or kept buildups from increasing. The governments responsiveness
under the Freedom of Information Act is widely viewed as a barometer of how transparent federal ofces are. Under the law, citizens and foreigners can compel the government to turn over copies of federal records for zero or little cost. Anyone who seeks information through the law is generally supposed to get it unless disclosure would hurt national security, violate personal privacy or expose business secrets or confidential decisionmaking in certain areas. Sunday was the start of Sunshine Week,
when news organizations promote open government and freedom of information. Across the 37 agencies, the government turned over all or parts of the records people sought in about 65 percent of requests that it considered, a minor improvement over last year. It fully rejected more than one-third of requests, also a minor improvement over last year, including cases when it couldnt find records, a person refused to pay for copies or the request was determined to be improper under the law.

Suit: NASA specialist axed over intelligent design
LOS ANGELES NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory has landed robotic explorers on the surface of Mars, sent probes to outer planets and operates a worldwide network of antennas that communicates with interplanetary spacecraft. Its latest mission is to defend itself in a workplace lawsuit led by a former computer specialist who claims he was laid off for
promoting his views on intelligent design. Trial in the case begins Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court. David Coppedge worked as a team lead on the Cassini mission exploring Saturn and its many moons. He lost his team lead title in 2009 and was let go last year. JPL denies any discrimination. Intelligent design supporters believe a higher power had a hand in creation because life is too complex to have developed through evolution alone.

Push to end Syria crisis stalls

BEIRUT An international push to end Syrias conflict stalled Sunday as U.N. envoy Ko Annan left Damascus without a cease-re and President Bashar Assads forces pounded opposition areas and clashed with rebels throughout the country. Western and Arab powers are struggling for ways to stem the bloodshed in the year-old conict while both the regime and the opposition reject dialogue. Former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan appeared to make little progress during two visits with Assad during his rst trip to Syria as the joint U.N.-Arab League envoy. Annan was seeking an immediate

cease-re to allow for humanitarian aid and the start of a dialogue between all parties on a political solution. After meeting with Assad on Sunday, Annan said he had presented steps to ease the crisis, but gave no details. Once its agreed, it will help launch the process and help end the crisis on the ground, he told reporters. He called for reforms that will create a strong foundation for a democratic Syria a peaceful, stable, pluralistic and prosperous society, based on the rule of law and respect for human rights. But he said a cease-fire must come rst. You have to start by stopping the killing and the misery and the abuse that is going on today and then give
time for a political settlement. Assad told Annan on Sunday that a political solution is impossible as long as terrorist groups threaten the country, according to Syrias state news service which reported identical comments after the men met Saturday. The regime blames the uprising on armed groups acting out a foreign conspiracy. Annans calls for reform also fall far short of opposition calls for Assads ouster and the end of his authoritarian regime. Opposition leaders say the thousands killed at the hands of his security forces, many while protesting peacefully, mean theyll accept nothing less. Annan acknowledged his hard task.

Yemen ofcials: US airstrikes hit al-Qaida area
SANAA, Yemen Yemeni military ofcials say U.S. aircraft have carried out four airstrikes in a southern province where al-Qaida controls several key towns. Two military officials say the airstrikes targeted Khanfar Mountain, near the town of Jaar in Abyan province, where al-Qaida is in control. There was no comment from U.S. ofcials. In the past, U.S. warplanes have targeted leaders and facilities of al-Qaida in Yemen, considered one of its most dangerous branches.

RIKUZENTAKATA, Japan For 70-year-old Toshiko Murakami, memories of the terrifying earthquake and tsunami that destroyed much of her seaside town and swept away her sister brought fresh tears Sunday, exactly a year after the disaster. My sister is still missing so I cant nd peace within myself, she said before attending a ceremony in a tent in Rikuzentaka marking the anniversary of the March 11, 2011, disaster that killed just over 19,000 people and unleashed the worlds worst nuclear crisis in a quarter century. Across Japan, people paused at
2:46 p.m. the moment the magnitude-9.0 quake struck a year ago for moments of silence, prayer and reection about the enormous losses suffered and monumental tasks ahead. Japan must rebuild dozens of ravaged coastal communities, shut down the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and decontaminate radiated land so it is inhabitable again. These are enormous burdens on a country already straining under the weight of an aging, shrinking population, bulging national debt and an economy thats been stagnant for two decades. Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda reminded the Japanese people that
they have overcome many disasters and difficulties in the past and pledged to rebuild the nation so it will be reborn as an even better place. Our predecessors who bought prosperity to Japan have repeatedly risen up from crises, every time becoming stronger, Noda said at a ceremony at the National Theater attended by the emperor and empress. Later, he told a news conference he hoped to see the disaster-hit areas fully rebuilt when babies born on the day of the disasters turn 10 years old. The earthquake was the strongest recorded in Japans history, and set off a tsunami that swelled to more than 65 feet.

Global political frustrations

Other voices
year in a row, spend more on internal security than on the military. Worries about social turmoil anticipate reaction to the closed-loop rotation of Communist Party leadership this fall. Vladimir Putin was plugged into another six-year term as Russias president, and legions of angry protesters are unimpressed, especially with the thin veneer of democratic process that surrounds the election. Nations where confronting entrenched powers can have consequences for employment, education or
oiling political frustrations are making headlines in parts of the world that prized and enforced civil order above all else. The tenacity of the response to despots and authoritarian regimes is extraordinary. In Syria, the United Nations estimates more than 7,500 have been killed since the resistance to President Bashar Assad began in spring of 2011. His father slaughtered thousands to hold power over decades. China is reported to be sending an envoy to Syria. The same news cycle reports that China will, for the third
survival are watching their streets ll with determined protesters. Bold, direct challenges that defy history. Young people in Greece, Spain and Ireland discovered their futures were pawned for short-term economic gain and partisan political advantage. Here in the U.S. presidential campaign, the capacities of the Democratic incumbent and his Republican challengers to react to this changing global environment need to be explored. Beyond bluster on Iran, GOP candidates act as if they have ceded foreignpolicy expertise to President Barack Obama. They need to articulate their concerns, visions and abilities.
Will Romney buy the presidency?

emocrats are beginning to feel optimistic with Obamas rise in the polls, the slow but steady improvement in the economy, the angry Republican primary making each candidate less likable and the increasing possibilities of maintaining or even adding to Democratic control of the Senate but that optimism may be short-lived. Mitt Romney has shown that despite his lack of charisma, he can put down his opponents with the financial muscle of his super PACs. The person supervising the Romney super PAC media blast is none other than Larry McCarthy, creator of the Willy Horton ads which destroyed Michael Dukakis. The Dukakis lead over the first George Bush collapsed after the ad began running. Super PACs make it easier to lie since their ads theoretically dont have the candidates approval. And lies abound. McCarthy first gained notoriety, according to a recent article in The New Yorker, when he worked for Mitch McConnell, currently Republican leader of the U.S. Senate. In 1964, McConnell narrowly defeated the democrat incumbent, Walter (Dee) Huddleston after a McCarthy television spot showed a pack of bloodhounds trying to track down Huddleston because he missed so many Senate votes. In fact, Huddleston had a voting record of 94 percent. So a Romney battle against Obama can be expected to feature more of the same. While the Democrats are equal to the task of being mean and nasty, they are not quite as vicious as their Republican counterparts. While the Democrats will have plenty of money to spend, it will not compare with what Romney and his super PACs will have available. Romney has eviscerated all of his opponents to date with the power of the purse and vicious ads. Democrats beware. *** Locally, the race for the Board of Supervisors is overflowing with candidates. It seems like a new entry every week. The latest is Warren Slocum, for many years the chief elections officer and assessor-county clerk-recorder. He recently retired and must miss county government. Maybe he is entering the race at this late date because he feels he has the best name recognition. If he wins, he would join former sheriff Don Horsley as the second county official turned supervisor. Then theres Menlo Park Councilman Andy Cohen, another recent candidate. He has had a troubled relationship with his council colleagues but maybe he expects to do better on the board. He will be running against fellow councilmember, Mayor Kirsten Keith as well as a long list of other elected officials Shelly Masur, Redwood City Elementary School Board trustee; Memo Morantes, San Mateo County Board of Education trustee; East Palo Alto Mayor Carlos Romero and Councilman David Woods; Redwood City Planning Commissioner Ernie Schmidt; and Slocum. Are Menlo Park City Council meetings getting testy with both Cohen and Keith running? What about East Palo Alto with Woods and Romero? And on the Redwood City school board it could get dicey with all of the trustees except one, Maria Diaz-Slocum (Warrens wife), supporting Shelly Masur. As we get closer to the June primary it will be the two candidates who have the most money, the most endorsements, and the best grassroots/web campaign. Right now that seems to be Masur, Morantes and Keith. The top two will vie in November to take termed out Rose Jacobs Gibsons place on the board. *** It was a shock to read that Tom Huening, country controller, will be giving up his position in mid-term. The supervisors have been debating on whether to call for an election in June or November or to appoint an interim controller. Heres the opportunity to at least test the recommendations of the countys Civil Grand Jury and the Charter Revision Commission which held that the post of controller should be appointed and not elected. This is a technical rather than political job and the talent pool will increase with an appointment process. In the meantime, Huening will be missed. He is one of the few Republicans elected to a nonpartisan countywide post. He ran for Congress as a Republican and lost to Anna Eshoo and also served for many years as a member of the Board of Supervisors and San Mateo County Community College District Board.

Letters to the editor

Thanks for Burlingame leaf blower ordinance
Editor, As a 43-year resident of Burlingame, I was thrilled to learn my fellow residents and I can look forward to positive steps that bring back the quaint, quiet atmosphere we used to enjoy in Burlingame. Progress in Burlingame has in many instances stolen from its residents all the charm and uniqueness that attracted so many people to our town. I will not bulletpoint the numerous reasons leaf blowers should be banned, but rather I will use the following statement that summarizes the bottom line: we must care about our biosphere if we dont take care of the biosphere, nothing else matters. Last year, global carbon emissions hit a record high, and the latest science tells us that were almost certainly locked into roughly two degrees Celsius (or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) of warming. It might not sound like much, but two degrees Celsius will redraw maps, change landscapes, and force cities to deploy aggressive adaptation measures. Thank you Burlingame City Council for taking proactive steps to take care of our special town and passing a leaf blower ordinance. I look forward to my daily walks without having to crisscross streets to avoid the pollution from leaf blowers. And it is exciting to know that the elders, who use walkers, will not be forced to inhale and hear the pollution because of their physical inability to get out of the way. May those who care keep on trucking and save Burlingame from falling prey to progress.
Expert compromise over leaf blowers

Editor, Bravo to the Burlingame City Council for their expert compromise regulating commercial leaf blowers to one to two days a week per city district. In a progressive approach, the city worked with Bay Area Gardeners Association and the Citizens Environmental Council to create a plan that would alleviate noise and air pollution at least several days per week. The council extended the hours of personal, homeowner blower use to 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on both Saturdays and Sundays, allowing generous time for maintenance and at least a few backyard hours free from airborne, allergenic debris and high-decibel noise. Its a brilliant compromise, and Burlingames council is to be commended for their thoughtful and inclusive approach. Until we all embrace the new emissions-free and noise-free yard maintenance equipment that lifts debris instead of blowing it (e.g. gas-free, sturdy Haaga hardscape sweepers and battery-powered Lawn Ninja II mulching mowers), Burlingames compromise is the best thing on the map.
friendlier business and tax environment. You are very naive; do some more research before you talk about raising taxes. In fact, why dont you pay some state income tax before you start talking about raising taxes. Why dont you talk about the real story how the state chooses to ignore the negative economic impact on communities around these parks. Ruth Coleman, director of the California State Parks system, said, We did not use economic impact as one of our criteria. Were well aware that state parks play a big role in the California economy. Miss Zell, you have a lot of growing up to do.

Religion comes in many forms

Editor, In her March 9 sermon about the evils of religion, What would Jesus think? published in the Daily Journal, columnist Dorothy Dimitre writes that some people use religion as an addiction, a security blanket, a surrogate parent ... . In place of religion, I think she should have used ll-in-the-blank or take your pick. There are people who use other institutions as a security blanket or a surrogate parent. In place of religion, Dimitre could have used government, mass media or Facebook, which is rapidly becoming the friend of those who have no friends. I realize there are differences. As the poet wrote, Ill know theres separation of church and state when our taxes are taken in a collection plate.

Americans avoiding stocks

By Matthew Craft
NEW YORK The headlines say the nancial crisis is behind us. The Dow is back to pre-financial crisis levels. Layoffs are the slowest since the nancial crisis, and car sales the highest since the nancial crisis. So why are Americans still too scared to get back in the stock market? Because all they hear is nancial crisis. Every comparison to 2008, even a comparison thats supposedly good, stirs memories of 2008. For some people, it rekindles the fear of losing a job or a house. For others, years of retirement savings swallowed by a plunging stock market. So say the experts in the budding eld of behavioral finance. Professional investors and money managers may be bafed that Americans are shaking off the good news. But people with a background in psychology are hardly surprised. A broad measure of the stock market,
the Standard & Poors 500 index, is up more than 20 percent from last October. The index has more than doubled since March 9, 2009, the low point for stocks during the Great Recession. But everyday investors refuse to jump in. They pulled $19 billion from funds that invest in U.S. stocks in December, according to the Investment Company Institute, and $2 billion more in January. In the old days, if there was a market rally, people would call and ask to put more money in. They felt they were missing the party, says Deborah DeMatteo, an independent wealth manager at 10-15 Associates in Goshen, N.Y. This time, investors seem more than happy to miss the party. Now, people call and ask, When is it going back down? DeMatteo says. Theres a sense of doom. What are they thinking? Its a question t for a shrink. Market psychology is still psychology, which is why Wall Street banks and investment rms pay people like Richard Peterson, a psychiatrist with a medical degree from the University of Texas, to
help make sense of it. A variety of emotions and thought processes are keeping Americans out of the stock market, Peterson and other experts say. The memory of 2008, when the Dow Jones industrial average swung wildly by hundreds of points a day, is probably No. 1. The tumult of that year stamped itself in many peoples brains. Like survivors of a devastating earthquake, they carry those events with them. A traumatic memory gets seared in the brain, Peterson says. In this case, the wound is easily irritated. News that reminds people of the financial crisis debt problems in Europe, a sudden swing in the market sets off the same emotions of fear or anger. Getting your fear button pushed that often is exhausting, Peterson says. People eventually tune out to save their sanity. Fear is still with us, says Meir Statman, a professor of nance at Santa Clara University in California and a leading expert in behavioral finance. We live as if its still 2008.
Job gains could last this time

By Paul Wiseman
WASHINGTON Wait havent we seen this movie before? Companies are generating waves of jobs, and unemployment is down. The same thing happened last year around this time. Then everything faded to black starting with the earthquake in Japan, which struck a year ago Sunday. Does a happier ending await the job market this time? Economists seem to think so. For reasons ranging from progress on Europes debt crisis to a slowly improving housing market to slightly less gridlock in Congress, the economy and the job market appear better able to withstand setbacks than they were in 2011. The internal dynamics of the U.S. economy look pretty good right now, says Bill Cheney, chief economist at John Hancock Asset Management. U.S. employers added 227,000 jobs in February, the third straight month of 200,000-plus job growth. The unemployment rate remained 8.3 percent, but it was 9 percent as recently as September. By all measures, the job market is strengthening by the month. Then again, the numbers can conjure an unsettling sense of dij vu. Last year, the job market had a similar three-month run. From February through April, the economy added an average 239,000 jobs
each month. Helping drive that growth was a new Social Security tax cut that put more money in paychecks for 160 million Americans. The tax cut gives $1,000 a year, or nearly $20 a week, to someone making $50,000. It gives up to $4,272 or roughly $82 a week, to a household with two high-paid workers. The Social Security tax cut was supposed to expire at the end of 2011. But under election-year pressure, Congress has extended it through 2012. On top of that, a bond-buying program by the Federal Reserve drove interest rates on mortgages and other consumer loans to historic lows. Yet just as things were perking up, a freeze descended on the economy and job market. The March 11 earthquake and tsunami cut off supplies from Japanese factories to U.S. and other manufacturers. The Arab Spring protests escalated oil prices. And gasoline prices followed them up, to a painful $3.98 a gallon by mid-May. A clash in Washington over the federal debt limit brought the nation to the verge of default and sapped consumer and business condence. Europes debt crisis panicked investors and further shook condence. From May through August last year, job growth averaged less than 80,000 a month before regaining strength in the fall.
Some reasons:
COMPANIES C ANT SQUEEZE MORE OUTPUT FROM WORKERS During and right after the Great Recession,companies shrank their work forces because demand plunged and fewer workers were needed. CONSUMERS ARE STURDIER Since the recession,households have cut their debts and rebuilt savings. One key measure of household debt burdens debt payments as a percentage of after-tax income is at its lowest point since 1994, according to the Federal Reserve. TENSIONS EASE IN WASHINGTON The debt-limit showdown waged last summer between the Obama administration and congressional Republicans rattled condence in Americas leadership. It looked as if the United States might default on its debts for the rst time in history because leaders couldnt reach a deal. HOUSING IS INCHING BACK The collapse of real estate lies at the heart of Americas economic problems.House prices have plunged 30 percent since 2006. The drop has wiped out $7 trillion in homeowners equity. Millions of construction workers have lost jobs.
Obamas health care law: A trek,not a sprint

WASHINGTON It took only a year to set up Medicare. But if President Barack Obamas health care law survives Supreme Court scrutiny, it will be nearly a decade before all its major pieces are in place. And that means even if Obama is reelected, he wont be in ofce to oversee completion of his signature domestic policy accomplishment, assuming Republicans dont succeed in repealing it. The laws carefully orchestrated phase-in is evidence of whats at stake in the Supreme Court deliberations that start March 26. The Affordable Care Act gradually reorganizes one-sixth of the U.S. economy to cover most of the nations 50 million uninsured, while simultaneously trying to restrain costs and prevent disruptions to the majority already with coverage.
Despite the political rhetoric about what Obamacare is doing to the nation, only a fraction of the law is in effect. We really havent seen the main game, said Drew Altman, president of the California-based Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit information clearinghouse on the health care system. The major provisions that will affect the most people and cost the most money dont go into effect until 2014 or later. What has taken effect in the two years since the law was enacted has produced both successes and clunkers, and some surprises. Few expected a relatively minor provision tacked on late in the legislative process to be its biggest success so far. But allowing young adults to stay on their parents insurance until age 26 has added nearly 2.5 million people to the coverage rolls, at no cost to taxpayers. Despite Republican pledges to repeal
the overhaul, its arguably the Obama administration that has done more to scale it back. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius decided to pull the plug on a long-term care insurance program seen as a budget drain. She also decided that Washington would not dictate a basic health benets package for the country, allowing each state to set its own, within limits. Medicare recipients gained more protection from high prescription costs and better preventive coverage, but older people remain the age group most opposed to the law, concerned that cuts to the program to nance benets for the uninsured eventually will compromise their own care. If the Supreme Court overturns the law entirely, that would present an immediate dilemma about popular early benets such as coverage for young adults and prescription savings for seniors.

Two teams remain in Nor Cal quest

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
After a weekend of CIF basketball, the local eld of four vying for a place in Sacramento has whittled down to two. Serra and Sacred Heart Prep captured victory (albeit in completely different fashions), while Half Moon Bay and the Terra Nova girls' basketball teams saw their seasons come to an end. Serra had very little trouble against No. 11 Las Lomas Saturday night. The Padres defeated the Knights 64-43.
The win for Serra comes a week after falling to Archbishop Mitty in the Central Coast Section Division II nals. Mitty, the No. 1 seed in the CIF Division II bracket, also won on Saturday. If the two teams were to win next Tuesday, the stage would be set for a fourth matchup between the teams this time for the CIF Nor Cal championship. Junior Henry Caruso led the Padres with 18 points and 10 rebounds while junior Andre Miller chipped in with 12 points and 5 assists. The win runs Serras record to 24-
6 on the season with the Nor Cal seminals up next. The No. 3 seed Padres will travel to No. 2 Newark Memorial. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. Further south on the Peninsula, Sacred Heart Prep got their revenge against St. Patrick/St. Vincent, beating the Bruins 80-78 in overtime. The Gators avenged a loss to SPSV in last years Nor Cal playoffs in which the Bruins went on an 8-0 run during the last 3:27 to win 49-48. In the 2012 version of the Division IV contest, SHP got an inspired effort from Cole
McConnell, who was on re from the outside, accounting for eight 3pointers. The guard nished with a game-high 33 points. The Gators advance to the seminals of Division IV where theyll face No. 2 seed Modesto Christian. The Crusaders handled Cardinal Newman 87-81 in their second round matchup. Half Moon Bay head coach Rich Forslund knew his second round game against No. 1 seed Salesian in Division IV was going to be an uphill batter. And he was right. The Pride breezed through their second
round against the No. 8 Cougars 7034. Logan Marshall led the Cougars in scoring with 11 points. For Salesian, Jermaine Edmonds had 14 points, Jabari Bird 13 and Davion Mize and Markel Leonard 10 each. In girls basketball, Terra Nova saw their season come to an end with a disappointing loss to No. 4 Modesto Christian 63-61. The loss was the second in a row for the Tigers something that hap-

Kentucky,UNC, Syracuse,MSU get top seeds
By Eddie Pells
Wilson fine in spring debut

This time around, the madness began before the brackets even came out. Kentucky, Syracuse and North Carolina all earned top seeding for the NCAA tournament Sunday despite weekend losses that brought even more intrigue to the threeweek, 67-game tournament better known as March Madness. Michigan State earned the other No. 1 seed and was the only one of the four top-billed teams to win its conference tournament. The Spartans defeated Ohio State 68-64 in the Big Ten title game a contest widely viewed as the game for the last No. 1 seed, even if selection committee chairman Jeff Hathaway wouldnt quite go there. As it turned out, this game put the No. 1 seed into the eld, he said. While No. 2 seeds Kansas, Duke, Missouri and Ohio State wonder whether they couldve been rated higher, teams such as Drexel, Seton Hall, Mississippi State and Pac-12 regular-season champion Washington think about what might have been. Those bubble teams were left out, and all will be wondering how Iona, California and South Florida made it.

Defending champion UConn a No.9 seed this season

STORRS, Conn. Connecticut will defend its national championship as a No. 9 seed in the South Region of the NCAA tournament. UConn (20-13) will play Iowa State Thursday in a rst-round game in Louisville. The winner faces a possible matchup with the overall top seed, Kentucky. The Huskies were considered a bubble team before coach Jim Calhoun returned from a medical leave. UConn won its regular-season
nale over Pittsburgh and two games in the Big East tournament, before having their 13-game postseason winning streak snapped by Syracuse, 58-55, last week in the quarternals. These kids, down the stretch, came around to earn themselves this (bid), and you guys know it wasnt by a wide margin, Calhoun said. It really wasnt. We had to win some games and we did, and we showed them that we deserved to get in Freshman center Andre Drummond said there was no cheering in the locker room when the
brackets were announced. He said the team has taken a business-like approach to what is in front of them, even if others have not. He said his mom called him after the selection show, excited about his potential matchup with Kentuckys Anthony Davis. The two centers were among the most highly touted freshmen coming into this season. I was like, All right, mom, but were not worried about that right now, he said. Im worried about Iowa State right now. Were going to go out there and play some good bas-
ketball, try to win this game and hopefully see Kentucky on Saturday. UConn has never played Iowa State. Its the rst NCAA tournament bid in seven years for the Cyclones (22-10), who were knocked out of the Big 12 tournament by Texas. Iowa State struggled to gel in nonconference play, and nearly lost at home to lowly Mississippi Valley State before the turn of the year. But the Cyclones turned it on in the Big 12, winning 12 games and beating a pair of top-10 opponents in Kansas and Baylor.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. A packed house of 10,900 got to see a former AL Cy Young Award winner and a three-time NL All-Star closer in action Sunday in the San Francisco Giants 7-5 spring training win over the S e a t t l e Mariners. Dark-bearded closer Brian Brian Wilson Wilson got a standing ovation from Giants fans at their spring training home as he jogged to the mound to start the fourth inning. Wilson, who said he noticed the cheering, allowed a hit but nished his nine-pitch day with a strikeout-throwout double play. The way my brain works is, if theres not a lot of adrenaline pumping then I dont feel normal, Wilson said. In situations like pitching in a live game, whether its nerves or what not, I always feel calm because it just feels normal to me to be out on the mound. Its just where I live. Wilson pitched last season with a tender right elbow. I know its still going to be on peoples mind, its just one inning. Well see how the next nine go and then opening day, All-Star break, playoffs, he said. The Mariners featured 2010 AL Cy Young Award winner Felix Hernandez making his second spring training start. He allowed two runs on four hits in four innings and threw 53 pitches, striking out three. Both runs against him came in the third. Good command, I was throwing a lot of strikes, Hernandez said. The third inning, some little mistakes but it happens. Up a little bit. Hernandez said he hopes to throw 80 pitches in his next start as he gears up for the Mariners opening day of the regular season in Japan on March 28.

Rice coach on verge of milestone

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Since winning the national championship in 2003, Rice baseball has become synonymous with elite pitching. So, its tting the Owls closed out their three-game series at Stanford with a pitching gem. Its Stanford that boasts the powerhouse pitching rotation this season, though. The Cardinal had already wrapped up the series by cruising to an 11-6 win Saturday, after Friday nights thrilling 4-2 walk-off win in 10 innings. In taking the series, the Cardinal prevented Rice manager Wayne Graham from reaching a career milestone on their turf. With Rices 1-0 win at Sunken Diamond yesterday, Graham now stands one win away from his 1,500th victory as a collegiate head coach. The win total is unofcial, as it includes his 11 years at San Jacinto-North Community College, where Graham won 574 games. As recognized by the NCAA, ofcial managerial records only apply to those accumulated at four-year schools. Grahams ofcial career record currently stands at 925-365.
Somebody asked me once: We heard youre a demanding coach, Graham said. I said: Thats redundant. Indeed, demanding and coaching are apparent in Grahams success as a collegiate coach. Since taking over the San Jacinto-North baseball program in 1981, Graham has never recorded a losing season. In 11 years at San Jacinto, the team won its region 11 times, and ve times captured the pinnacle National Junior College Athletic Association championship. Before Graham took over at Rice, the baseball program had nished above the .500 mark just seven times since its inception in 1913. Since Graham took over in 1992, the Owls have tabbed 20 consecutive winning seasons, culminating in their 2003 national championship, when Rice defeated Stanford in three games at the College World Series.
college level. Graham recruited the future rst-round draft pick to play at San Jacinto. After that, developing rst-round draft picks became something of a calling card for Graham.
tune, as the Cardinal settled for runner-up in their last appearance in the College World Series nal. Rice captured the crown with a 14-2 victory, the largest margin of victory ever in a CWS championship game.
National championship
There is no better evidence of Grahams legacy of developing elite talent than Rices pitching staff from the 2003 national championship squad. The Owls boasted four future rst-round draft picks on that team, including the entire weekend rotation of Jeff Niemann, Wade Townsend, and Phil Humber, as well as closer David Aardsma, who was drafted by the Giants j u s t w e e k s before Rice won the College World Series. Much in part to the social media boon of the early 21st century, college baseball began gaining a bigger audience in a hurry. And, one of the rst national spotlights of the era fell to the dynamic Rice pitching staff of 2003. With the spotlight also came a lot of hype. Somehow that pitching staff, because of the way things evolved, got an awful lot of national publicity, Graham said. It may have been slightly overinated, because we didnt have guys that threw as hard as [the media] said they threw. Our guys were basically 88-92 mph pitchers who threw strikes. Rices historic triumph in Omaha was S t a n f o r d s misfor-
Stanford primed for 12 run

The Cardinal solidied their No. 2 national ranking with their series win over the weekend. Rice, currently ranked No. 4, is the third top 20 team Stanford has faced in nonconference play this sea-
Turning it around
Graham said the key to turning around an unsuccessful team in a hurry takes more than teaching fundamentals. On the other hand, it isnt a magic act, either. Youve got to have baseball logic, Graham said. If I didnt have baseball logic, Id have to be an idiot, because Ive been around [the game] my whole life. You dont necessarily do radical things. You just make sure your guys play sound baseball, and you put in the time. Once asked how much time one need put in, Graham said: What you really have to do is work 82 hours a week for 10 years, and never take a vacation. So went the first decade of Grahams coaching career, which he served at the high-school level in the Houston area. After nine years at Scarborough High, he transferred to Spring Branch High for one season in 1980, where his team won its section title by downing Spring Woods High in the championship game 3-1, defeating a senior righthander named Roger Clemens. Clemens, though, would become the rst of many cornerstone arms Graham helped to develop at the
Coaching legend
In each of the rst two games of the series, Stanford slugger Austin Wilson came to the plate in the second inning with a runner in scoring position. The sophomore is as dangerous a hitter as any in the potent Cardinal lineup this season. And, both times, Graham made a visit to the mound prior to Wilson checking in to the box. Grahams slow, deliberate walks to mound paid off. In both instances, Rice pitchers aggressively attacked the strike zone. And, both at bats ended in quick, rallystiing outs. While Rice pitching ultimately could not stave off the Cardinal bats, the immediate outcomes following Grahams mound visits are testament to the venerable coachs aggressive nature. Its this nature that has made Graham one of the most successful coaches in the history of college baseball.
son. The Cardinal previously swept Vanderbilt and Texas. Stanford now boats a record of 13-2. And, while Stanford homered three times in the series, it was the art of playing small ball that helped turn the tide in both wins. Friday night, outfielder Justin Ringo who was a late substitution for an injured Jake Stewart, who was scratched from the lineup just an hour before game time played the hero with an epic walkoff home run in the 10th inning. Yet, it was Ringos third-inning sacrice bunt that moved two runners into scoring position, which both eventually scored to tie the game. We dont [bunt] that often, but when we do it, its a big spot, and we showed it in [those] rst two games, Stanford manager Mark Marquess said. Trailing early once again on Saturday, Stanford designated hitter Christian Grifths executed a similar bunt to move two runners into scoring position, in what turned into a three-run rally to give the Cardinal the lead. It was good, Griffiths said Anytime you can get runs on the board, for our offense, its awesome. Just getting the ball rolling is really good. Stanford is currently hitting .312 as a team, and has outscored its opponents 12644 on the season.

marked only the second time since 2003 that the top four teams in The Associated Press poll all lost in the same week. Kentucky, placed in the South region, earned the overall No. 1 seed and will open the tournament against the winner of a first-round game between Mississippi Valley State and Western Kentucky. No. 8 seed Iowa State will play defending champion Connecticut. Elsewhere in the South, No. 5 Wichita State plays No. 12 VCU, a Final Four team last year, while No. 4 Indiana plays No. 13 New Mexico State. On the bottom of that bracket, No. 2 Duke plays No. 15 Lehigh, and No. 7 Notre Dame plays No. 10 Xavier, while No. 3 Baylor plays No. 14 South Dakota State and sixth-seeded UNLV plays 11th-seeded Colorado, which won its way into the bracket by winning the Pac12 tournament. In the West, top-seeded Michigan State will begin its quest for its seventh Final Four since 1999 against No. 16 LIU. No. 8 Memphis plays No. 9 St. Louis, as Rick Majerus takes his third team to the NCAA tournament. No. 5 New Mexico plays No. 12 Long Beach State, and No. 4 Louisville plays No. 13 Davidson. The bottom of the bracket features No. 2 Missouri against No. 15 Norfolk State and No. 7 Florida against No. 10 Virginia. Missouri was ranked eighth overall and Hathaway said the Tigers bad strength of schedule cost them in the seeding, even though they won the Big 12 tournament.

In the moments immediately after the brackets came out, the Iona-Drexel debate was getting the most traction. They werent the last team in, Hathaway said of Iona. They had a very good nonconference strength of schedule; they were 44. I know a lot of people are going to try to compare them to Drexel, and Drexel was well over 200. ... We think we got that one right. Obviously, a lot of people will debate it, and thats what makes it fun. Next up, the NCAA tournament a 68-team free-for-all that starts with rstround games Tuesday. Thats the rst step en route to the Final Four, which begins March 31 in New Orleans. Kentucky and Syracuse each enter the tournament with only two losses. Both were shoo-ins for top seeds Hathaway all but said so last week though their recent losses certainly will add more guesswork to those millions of brackets being lled out at spring training sites, corporate board rooms and everywhere else across America. Syracuse fell to Cincinnati in the Big East seminals on Friday; Kentucky lost to Vanderbilt in the Southeastern Conference title game, and the Tar Heels lost to Florida State in the ACC nals Sunday. Combined with Kansas loss to Baylor in the Big 12 seminals, this
QUEST
pened to them only once this year (with losses to Berkeley and Bishop ODowd in December of 2011). ELSEWHERE After a 6-6 start to the season, the Caada College baseball team has found its groove - especially with the sticks. The Colts are 4-1 in Coast Conference Pacic Division play and are fresh off a 21-5 drubbing of Skyline College on Saturday. The Colts collected only 16 hits but were the beneciary of 10 walks. And they made the Trojans pay dearly for them. Nowhere was that more evident in the bottom of the fourth inning when Caada sent 14 men to the play en route to a 10-run inning that, for all intents and purposes, sealed the deal for the Colts. Alex Sortwell (2 for 5, 3 RBI) led off with a walk and went to third on a Nick McHugh (2 for 4) single. Another walk loaded the bases. Zach Turner (2 for 4, 4 RBI) popped up to rst base, but he was picked up by the hot bat of Steven Knudson (4 for 6, 6 RBI) who singled in a pair of runs, increasing a 5-0 lead to 7-0. Caada poured it on from there. Peter Woodall (0 for 2) was hit by a pitch to reload the bags and Kyle Zerbies (1 for 4) walked to plate run number eight. Dylan Wisthoff (2 for 5) singled right after that and following a strikeout, Sortwell was back up to the dish. The former Aragon Don singled home a pair of runs to make it 11-0. After McHughs second at-bat resulted in a walk and another bases loaded situation, Eren Maravilles (2 for 4, 4 RBI) took it upon himself to empty the bags with a grand slam. Turner struck out to end the rally. Caada wasnt quite done scoring, plating ve runs in the seventh inning to leave absolutely no doubt. On the mound, Pierce Prencht went seven innings, surrendering seven hits and two earned runs, striking out six in the process. Mitch Labbie pitched a scoreless ninth. Skyline got multiple hit games from Ryan Bender, Corey Faubel and Trevor Greenlaw. The loss drops the Trojans to 1-5 in league play. CHABOT 7, COLLEGE OF SAN MATEO 2 College of San Mateo ace Clay Bauer had a tough time with the Chabot lineup, surrendering four runs (three earned) over 5 1-3 innings of baseball as the Bulldogs fell to the Gladiators 72 on Saturday. Bauer struck out eight, walked three and gave up seven hits. The Bulldogs were down 4-2 heading into the eighth, but a threerun inning by Chabot increased their lead to ve runs. Brandon Defazio and Mark Hurley had multi-hit games for CSM. Josh Davenport struggled, going 0 for 4 and leaving ve men on base. The loss was the rst in league for the Bulldogs, who are still 3-1 and sit atop the Coast Conference Golden Gate Division.

Stewart uses bold move late to win at Las Vegas

By John Marshall
LAS VEGAS Timing the restart perfectly, Tony Stewart dove to the edge of the apron and ducked under the two cars in front of him. With one bold move, the defending Sprint Cup champion was on his way to a redemptive win. Stewart made a three-wide pass on a late restart and held off Jimmie Johnson at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday, winning at a track that was the site of his biggest disappointment last season. We had to wait 365 days for a shot at it again, Stewart said. I might not have been so mad on the airplane had I known I was going to win a year later. Stewart came back to Las Vegas with a new crew chief and the hope of having a little better luck than he had a year ago, when a pit mishap spoiled a chance at victory with
what he believed to be the best car in the eld. With Steve Addington calling the shots from the pit box, Stewart again Tony Stewart had a good car in his return trip to the desert, uncatchable on the restarts and good enough to hold off Johnson, Greg Bife and anyone else who tried to track him down. Its been a long time since Ive seen a car that fast, said Bife, who nished third. On the restarts, Ive just never seen a car driving off like that. Stewart got the lead with a didhe-just-do-that move with 34 laps to go in the 400-mile race. Coming around turn 4 to the start/nish line, Stewart charged up behind Brad Keselowski and timed
it just right to dip below him on the apron. He zipped to the front and stayed there, pulling away on three more less-thrilling restarts over the nal 17 laps. It was his sixth win in the past 13 Sprint Cup races and rst on the 1.5-mile tri-oval not far from the bright lights of the The Strip. We almost got too good a restart because I got such a good run on Brad, I almost got there too quick, Stewart said. If wed have got there a foot earlier, wed have had to check up and probably wouldnt get a run and get underneath him like that. A year ago, Stewart appeared to be cruising to Victory Lane at Las Vegas, only to be tripped up in the pits. He was penalized for leaving his pit stall with an air hose still attached and the team opted to take two tires on a later stop to get him back to the front.
Stewart did get to the front, but the rest of the teams saw that taking two tires would work and switched tactics. Forced to take four tires late in the race, he dropped to 22nd and ran out of time to catch Carl Edwards, nishing second. Stewart went on to win his third Sprint Cup championship, thanks to the ve times he was able to get to Victory Lane. He red crew chief Darian Grubb after the season and lured Addington from Penske Racing to replace him. Stewart was 16th at the Daytona 500 and had a good nish ruined last week at Phoenix after he turned off his car to save on fuel and couldnt get it to re-fire, a problem believed to be linked to NASCARs new electronic fuel injection system. He was well back in the pack after a lengthy pit stop and nished 22nd. Stewart qualied seventh at Las Vegas and took his rst lead on lap
135, beating Johnson on a restart. He lost the lead briey on a cycle of green-flag pit stops and quickly regained it. He turned back a challenge by Keselowski and pulled away from Johnson on a nal restart with four laps left to nally take the checkers, leaving Darlington and Kentucky as the only active tracks he hasnt won at. I really believe Tony is really coming into his own with StewartHaas Racing, co-owner Gene Haas said. Hes as calm as Ive ever seen him, composed, very condent in what he does. I have no doubt this could be another pivotal year for Tony. Johnson had to break out a backup car after a crash in practice on Saturday, sending him to the back of the field. He didnt take long to get to the front, though, challenging Matt Kenseth for the lead by lap 83.

Rose rallies to win World Golf Championship
DORAL, Fla. On a day of endless drama at Doral, Justin Rose won his rst World Golf Championship standing on the practice range. Rose had to make up a three-shot decit against Bubba Watson, and then a two-shot decit against Keegan Bradley. Rose was steady down the stretch, even with a bogey from the bunker on the 18th hole, and closed with a 2-under 70 to win the Cadillac Championship. Watson, as always, made it interesting. He hit a bullet of a 4-iron out of the palm trees to just inside 10 feet for a chance to force a playoff. His birdie putt
missed on the low side, ending a wild day even by his standards. He closed with a 74. If that wasnt enough, Tiger Woods muddied his Masters future when he left after 11 holes with soreness in his left Achilles tendon, wincing badly on his nal shot a 321-yard drive down the middle of the 12th fairway. Woods said he would have it evaluated to determine the scope of the injury. NBC Sports showed images of Woods behind the wheel in a black sedan as he drove away from Doral. It returned to golf just as Rory McIlroy, who started the nal round eight shots behind, holed a bunker shot for eagle on the 12th hole. McIlroy pulled within one shot of the lead with a birdie on the 16th hole, but he closed with a bogey and a 67 to nish alone in third.

Loraxbeats John Carter

By David Germain
e have a brand new, state-of-theart facility, but cant get our outgoing mail picked up. Its true. Inside our 56,000 square-foot, LEED-certied green building, our dog rooms feature an ultra slick ushing system, the dog and cat rooms have 15 air exchanges per hour and ofces for people have a lighting system that shuts off automatically when there is a period of no activity inside the room. Spray-mount technology allows staff to clean rooms using a fraction of the water needed to clean dog runs at the Coyote Point shelter. Our indoor dog park for dogs awaiting adoption at the Lantos Center literally opens to the sky with the ip of a switch; a retractable roof allows fresh air and loads of sunlight. Still, we cant get outgoing mail picked up every day. The postmaster says this is now standard operating procedure. Mail carriers will not enter our building or other businesses to pick up mail unless they have mail to deliver. I can get my mail carrier to pick up mail at home when I ip the little red ag on the side of my box, but we cant get daily service at our business. The postmasters advice: you guys have volunteers who walk dogs; they can bring mail to one of the two street boxes on Rollins Road. So, thats what we do. Low-tech, but it works. Does your dog take offense to your mail carrier? Many dogs bark every time the mail carrier delivers mail. Your dog hears someone rustling at the mail slot, barks and the scary noise goes away; every day the message is reinforced. Its classic conditioning. If your carrier is up for it, bring your dog out on leash, of course to meet him or her and get his sniff on. Next time the postal carrier delivers, your dog might not be as likely to bark since the stranger wont be as unfamiliar. Scott oversees PHS/SPCAs Adoption, Behavior and Training, Education, Outreach, Field Services, Cruelty Investigation, Volunteer and Media/PR program areas and staff from the new Tom and Annette Lantos Center for Compassion.
LOS ANGELES Dr. Seuss the Lorax has easily beaten Edgar Rice Burroughs John Carter at the weekend box ofce. Studio estimates Sunday put Universal Pictures The Lorax at No. 1 for the secondstraight weekend as the animated adventure based on the childrens book took in $39.1 million. That raised its 10-day domestic total to $122 million, making The Lorax the topgrossing movie released this year. John Carter, based on Tarzan creator Burroughs tales of the interplanetary adventurer, opened in second-place with $30.6 million. Thats an awful start given the whopping $250 million that Disney reportedly spent to make John Carter, which also earned generally poor reviews that will hurt its long-term prospects. The movies salvation could come overseas, where John Carter opened in 55 markets with $70.6 million, giving it a worldwide total of $101.2 million. The stronger international business helps, but that worldwide total still pales compared to global debuts of $200 million and up for many modern blockbusters. We would have hoped for more considering the larger economics of the lm but are still encouraged with how its been received by audiences that have seen it and hope to see that generate positive word of mouth for the balance of the run, said Dave Hollis, Disneys head of distribution. The Warner Bros. teen comedy Project X held up well in its second weekend with $11.6 million to nish at No. 3 and raise its domestic haul to $40.1 million. Elizabeth Olsens horror tale Silent House, released by Open Road Films, opened modestly at No. 4 with $7 million. Olsen plays a young woman terrorized inside her familys spooky summer home. Eddie Murphys comedy A Thousand Words, a leftover shot in 2008 and nally dumped into theaters by distributor Paramount, was a dud at No. 6 with just $6.4 million. The movie features Murphy as a fast-talking literary agent and neglectful family man who gets a lesson on the important things in life after discovering he has only a thousand
The Loraxtopped the box ofce for the second straight week.
Top ten movies

1.Dr.Seussthe Lorax,$39.1 million ($1.4 million international). 2.John Carter,$30.6 million ($70.6 million international). 3.Project X,$11.6 million ($3 million international). 4.Silent House,$7.01 million. 5.Act of Valor,$7 million. 6.A Thousand Words,$6.4 million. 7.Safe House,$5 million ($6.1 million international). 8.The Vow,$4 million ($2.4 million international). 9.This Means War,$3.8 million ($9.4 million international). 10.Journey 2:The Mysterious Island,$3.7 million ($9.2 million international).
words left to utter before he dies. A Thousand Words was so bad it had a perfect score on the film critic site Rottentomatoes.com: all of the 37 reviews compiled there for the movie were negative. John Carter at least managed 49 percent favorable notices of the 170 reviews compiled there. Thats still not a recipe for staying power at the box ofce, particularly with such
a bad opening in the United States. If you just take the domestic number, its not a very pretty picture, said Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for box-ofce tracker Hollywood.com. But if you look at the worldwide opening weekend of a hundred million dollars, thats pretty solid. John Carter casts Friday Night Lights co-star Taylor Kitsch in the title role as a 19th century Civil War veteran whisked away to Mars, where he falls for a beautiful princess and becomes a hero in the red planets own civil war. Disney executives noted that the movie had a 25 percent uptick in domestic business from opening day Friday to Saturday, saying it was a sign that audiences were talking up John Carter to friends. But the movie drew only 41 percent of its viewers from the under-25 crowd, indicating that Hollywoods key audience of young action fans was not interested. Overall domestic business rose again as studios continued their 2012 box-ofce roll. Revenues totaled $140.5 million, up 8.7 percent from the same weekend last year, according to Hollywood.com. Receipts have climbed every weekend this year, with domestic revenues inching above $2 billion so far in 2012, an 18 percent increase over last years.

protests. Orange County is being sued over its planned jail expansion by the city of Irvine which may tie it up in court, keeping its $100 million on hold. It could be that any of those could not work out and then well be back in play, McMillan said. Meanwhile, McMillan said the county is looking at jail nancing options like bonds that would be reimbursed by any funds from the state. County Manager John Maltbie is also working on nancing for both the construction and operating costs as part of his ve-year plan, Munks said. The jail is estimated to cost approximately $165 million. San Mateo County supervisors have already signed off on plans to build a new correctional facility and Greg Munks wants to break ground by the end of the year. The county spent $17 million for parcels on Chemical Way in Redwood City specically to build a jail somewhere other than the originally preferred, but debated, site near downtown. Last year, a board majority agreed to a hybrid design plan in which three oors topped by 40 feet of unnished space for future use. Munks envisions a nonprot taking over that space for rehabilitation or training programs. Any money saved in the construction could be a boon because the annual operating costs are estimated at roughly $40 million. A third of that is debt service. Any state money to lower that number would be huge, Munks said. Munks also hopes the county can use realignment funds $4 million was given to the county this year but will climb to $10 million next year toward Kaufman would like to offer elective wheels with a mixture of classes throughout the year so students are exposed to more. Classes fth and sixth graders try out would be an introduction into whats offered in seventh and eighth grades. Trustee Kathleen Farley liked the idea of an elective wheel. Such an offering would allow students to try new things and learn to fail successfully, she said. Anything we can do to stretch that offering to really try to get kids involved with stretching their own learning would be awesome, Farley said. Superintendent Craig Baker further explained changing the schedule wouldnt create segmented 45-minute classes. The idea is to have longer times in classes. Also, Baker would like to see students learn about multiple things at a time. For example, providing a technology or physical education lesson in Spanish includes two topics but doesnt maintenance at Filoli, is also leaving. The pair will be heading just outside of Ojai, Calif. to be closer to family, to tend to their own garden and, of course, continue to care for Tolmachs birds. Tolmach believes its a good time to move on. She has two managers with whom shes worked for years, allowing there to be continuity in supporting the breathtaking grounds. That being said, Tolmach believes in new blood when it comes to staff and also the board, which needs to be turned over from time to time, she said. A love of plants started early in life for Tolmach, who grew up in Staten Island, N.Y. She grew up in a bedroom community with lots of gardens and animals. As a teen, she visited the Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania and fell in love with horticulture, which wasnt really something people knew about let alone a professional avenue for women. Despite that, Tolmach earned her bachelors degree in plant science-horticulture from the University of Delaware. She traveled to California for an internship, during which Tolmach quickly learned she knew little about plant life in the Golden State. Deciding to learn more, Tolmach attended the University of California at Davis where she earned her masters degree in environmental horticulture. Tolmach caught a break after graduaongoing costs because that program is about shifting and housing prisoners. San Mateo County previously turned down up to $100 million in state funding because it came with too many strings, like a mandatory re-entry facility for state inmates. The state since amended the requirements, leading to the countys participation in the recent application process. The county submitted a letter of intent but was informed in October it neednt apply further. In that phase, the county ranked number nine in the large county population category, beat out by counties including Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside, Orange, Kern, Sacramento, Santa Clara and Fresno. A key component was how few inmates San Mateo County sends to state detention compared to the others approximately 560 annually while Los Angeles County sends 19,000 and San Bernadino sends 5,800. Regardless of cost, there has been little debate the county needs a new jail to ease overcrowding. The Maguire Correctional Facility is rated for 688 inmates but often averages more than 1,000 while the womens facility usually surpasses its 84bed rating. Inmates are double- and triplebunked in rooms once meant for rehabilitation and programming, which cuts services and education ofcials say are key to reducing recidivism. The number is starting to ramp up and is about 100 more than when realignment started, Munks said. During several study sessions to determine the size of a new facility, Supervisor Dave Pine and members of the public questioned whether more effort should be placed in prevention rather than increased bed size. require more time of students or teachers, he said. Trustees generally favored the idea. Board Vice President Beth Hunkapiller did want to be sure literacy needs would still be a priority. Throughout the middle school meetings, district administrators have been meeting to discuss curriculum, instruction, professional development, scheduling and other issues. The group identied top priorities for the next two years: consistent course offerings; dene what is considered core curriculum; expand foreign language offerings; and expand elective offerings. In terms of scheduling, possible changes could happen at both Central and Tierra Linda middle schools next year, according to a staff report by Hovland. Tierra Linda is considering adding another section of French and a technology/journalism/yearbook elective. tion. A friend had recently been hired at Filoli. The home was originally built for prominent San Franciscans William Bowers Bourn II and his wife. The Bourns remained in the house until both died in 1936. In 1937, the property was sold to Mr. and Mrs. William P. Roth, who maintained the property. In 1975, Mrs. Roth donated 125 acres of Filoli to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The remaining acreage was given to Filoli Center, which operates the estate today. Tolmach was hired as a gardener in 1977. One of her rst jobs was to create a scale map of the property to allow for planning of care. Those drawings helped down the road as the pipes were replaced and more modern tools were purchased for the maintenance of the property. Tolmach is nostalgic as she discusses the wide variety of plants and how theyve changed since the 70s. Shes also hopeful whoever takes her place will continue to maintain the historic beauty of the property rather than change it. Before she leaves, Tolmach is working on getting her ofce in line and helping to plan Holiday Traditions the annual fundraiser for the property, which Tolmach promises will be magical.

pretty immediately? she asked. McMillan plans to enlist the help of state building trades groups to demand that they need jobs now. She is also hopeful Hill can get legislation passed enabling the state to shift money allocated to build state facilities no longer necessary with so many inmates shifted locally under realignment, she said to the pot available for jail construction and expansion. Hill, who previously lobbied unsuccessfully to change the funding criteria from number of inmates to shovel-readiness, said another option is legislation sending back unused funds from a previous funding phase to the state for redistribution. We can put people to work immediately when those counties may never build those jails, Hill said. In the announcement of the funds, Matthew Cate, CSA chairman and California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation called the awards a major boost for California counties to house local inmates safely and effectively. However, McMillan said not releasing millions of unused dollars does nothing to alleviate crowding at either the local or state levels. Another consideration is if some counties awarded money will even accept or act upon it. Los Angeles County is in the midst of heavy debate over a new jail, complete with opposition groups and

have this year is scheduling, said Lynette Hovland, director of curriculum, instruction and accountability. Their minds are experiencing transition and they are intensely curious. They prefer active versus passive learning. And they favor interacting with their peers instead of working alone, said Hovland. Kaufman explained at a staff meeting it became clear the school wasnt offering enough electives. And adding more would be challenging given the limitations of the six-period day. With teachers eager to make changes quickly, Kaufman began polling teachers to see what topics they previously taught or would be interested in teaching. In addition to changing the schedule,

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Most of the time, it is un-
ment could occur that would elevate your hopes and expectations. Just because something sounds too good to be true doesnt mean that it lacks potential. ArIES (March 21-April 19) -- Give money matters top priority, because this could be one of those rare days when you can effortlessly reach your financial goals and fatten your bank account in the process. TAUrUS (April 20-May 20) -- Meaningful projects that you personally direct have excellent chances for success. Apply your best efforts toward getting what you really want.
wise to rely totally on your hunches while ignoring your logic. Today, though, could be one of those rare exceptions when you wont want to discount your intuition. cANcEr (June 21-July 22) -- If a face-to-face meeting concerning an important involvement with another becomes necessary, dont use a surrogate, even if you think that person could do a better job. You need to handle this in person if you want the credit that will eventually come. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont be afraid if you get drawn into a competitive involvement that has rather high emotional or financial stakes. Youll come out ahead.
VIrGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your optimistic outlook will be one of your greatest assets. Youll use it effectively to further your personal interests by minimizing all insignificant negatives.

Think big. cAPrIcOrN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If there is someone of the opposite gender whom youre desirous of impressing, dont come on too strong. In fact, be a bit standoffish and try to let him or her make the first move. AQUArIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Dont hesitate to press for a close if theres an important matter that you want to wrap up.

Schwarzeneggers son injured in an Idaho ski accident

Soldier kills sleeping Afghanis

SUN VALLEY, Idaho The 18-year-old son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver says he has been treated for injuries after getting in a little ski accident in Idaho. Patrick Schwarzenegger tweeted Saturday that he received stitches down the back and but (sic) after the accident, and he also thanked doctors who he said cared for him in Sun Valley. He provided a link to a photo he posted to the social networking application Instagram, showing a deep cut on his lower Patrick Schwarzenegger back. He also said that he had been bruised in the accident, but did not provide details on how he got injured. A spokesman for Shriver did not provide further details. In 2006, Arnold Schwarzenegger broke his leg in a ski accident at Sun Valley while he was governor of California.
HISTORY
ofcials in government and others who wanted privacy. Gypsy screened her patrons by telling their fortune with palm reading and if their signs were good, they could visit the upstairs where gambling and prostitution was reported to be available. Alices Inn, the Millbrae Tavern, Remember Me, the Yellowstone, the Crossroads, Tip Top Inn, and the 16-Mile House were a few of the better-known establishments in Millbrae that offered slots to play. After Millbraes tough ght for incorporation in 1948, a new mood and attitude permeated the city and county and a drive was instituted to put an end to this blatant aunting of the law. The legal system began working for the common citizen and noted gambler Sam Termini was sent to jail for failing to pay taxes. San Mateo County gambling kingpin Emilio Georgetti left for greener pastures in Las Vegas after failing to buy land for a gambling establishment along El Camino Real by Ludeman Lane in Millbrae. His plans for the largest gambling establishment on the Peninsula was never realized. Even numerous traditional gambling joints that had sprung up along the San Francisco border began to be closed. The overt presence of gambling faded from view, although it was reported that one could still nd some action if he looked hard enough.
Rediscovering the Peninsula by Darold Fredricks appears in the Monday edition of the Daily Journal.
BALANDI, Afghanistan Moving from house to house, a U.S. Army sergeant opened fire Sunday on Afghan villagers as they slept, killing 16 people mostly women and children in an attack that reignited fury at the U.S. presence following a wave of deadly protests over Americans burning Qurans. The attack threatened the deepest breach yet in U.S.-Afghan relations, raising questions both in Washington and Kabul about why American troops are still fighting in Afghanistan after 10 years of conflict and the killing of Osama bin Laden. The killing spree, the worst atrocity committed by U.S. forces during the Afghan war, comes amid deepening public outrage spurred by last months Quran burnings and an earlier video purportedly showing American Marines urinating on dead Taliban militants. The Quran burnings sparked weeks of violent protests and attacks that left some 30 Afghans dead, despite an apology from President Barack Obama. Six U.S. service members were also killed by their fellow Afghan soldiers, although the tensions had just started to calm down. Residents said Sundays attack began around 3 a.m. in two villages in
REUTERS
Afghan National Army soldiers keep watch inside a U.S. base in Panjwai district Kandahar province Sunday.
Panjwai district, a rural region outside Kandahar that is the cradle of the Taliban and where coalition forces have fought for control for years. The villages are about 500 yards (meters) from a U.S. base in a region that was the focus of Obamas military surge strategy in the south starting in 2009. Villagers described cowering in fear as gunshots rang out as a soldier stalked house after house firing on those inside. They said he entered three homes in all and set fire to some of the bodies. Eleven of the dead were from a single family, and nine of the victims were children. Some residents said they believed there were multiple attackers, given the carnage. One man cant kill so many people. There must have been many people involved, said Bacha Agha of Balandi village. If the government says this is just one persons act we will not accept it. ... After killing those people they also burned the bodies.
