JUSTICES MOVING TO HEART OF HEALTH CARE OVERHAUL
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A yet to be formed advisory committee will
be tasked with nding a suitable site for a new
elementary school in Foster City by July so
the San Mateo-Foster City School District
will have enough time to put a bond measure
on the November ballot to pay for construc-
tion.
The Foster City Council voted 5-0 last night
to partner with the school district to form an
advisory committee that will report to
Superintendent Cynthia Simms on its nd-
ings.
The Superintendents Committee on
Overcrowding Relief, or SCORE, will include
13 hand-picked community members to rep-
resent both the city and school district in an
effort to nd space for Foster Citys escalating
enrollment.
The council and school district board held a
joint meeting last night on the topic. The dis-
trict has been looking for space for a fourth
elementary school in Foster City for nearly
four years now and the relationship between
the district and council has often been charac-
terized as contentious as city ofcials have
repeatedly turned down proposals to build a
school on the 15-acre city-owned site adjacent
to City Hall or on any of the citys several
parks.
Simms hopes to have the advisory commit-
tee formed by April 20 and that the group will
have some good recommendations by July.
The district is adding class space at
Audobahn Elementary but after 2014-15, no
new classrooms are planned, Simms said last
night.
Just three years ago, the student-teacher
ratio was 20 to 1 for lower grades but that
number has ballooned up to a 26 to 1 ratio

Aggressive parents force
egg hunt cancellation
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. An
annual Easter egg hunt attended by hun-
dreds of children has been canceled
because of misbehavior last year. Not
by the kids, but by the grown-ups.
Too many parents determined to see
their children get an egg jumped a rope
marking the boundaries of the children-
only hunt at Bancroft Park last year. The
hunt was over in seconds, to the con-
sternation of eggless tots and the rules-
abiding parents.
Organizers say the hunt in Old
Colorado City has gotten too big for the
hundreds of children and parents now
attending. They canceled this year.
Last Aprils egg hunt, sponsored by
the Old Colorado City Association,
experienced a few technical difculties,
said Mazie Baalman, owner of Rocky
Mountain Chocolate Factory and spon-
sor of the event.
There was no place to hide the plastic
eggs, which were lled with donated
candy or coupons redeemable at nearby
businesses. So thousands of eggs were
put in plain view on the grass. A bull-
horn to start the event malfunctioned, so
Baalman, master of ceremonies, used a
public address system that was hard to
hear.
So everybody thinks you said `Go,
and everybody goes, and its over in
seconds, Baalman said. If one parent
gets in there, other parents say, `If one
can get in, we all can get in, and every-
body goes.
Parenting observers cite the cancella-
tion as a prime example of so-called
helicopter parents those who hover
over their children and are involved in
every aspect of their childrens lives
to ensure that they dont fail, even at an
Easter egg hunt.
They couldnt resist getting over the
rope to help their kids, said Ron Alsop,
a former Wall Street Journal reporter
and author of The Trophy Kids Grow
Up, which examines the millennial
children generation.
Thats the perfect metaphor for mil-
lennial children. They (parents) cant
stay out of their childrens lives. They
dont give their children enough
chances to learn from hard knocks, mis-
takes.
Alsop and others say the parenting
phenomenon began in earnest when
baby boomers who decorated their cars
with Baby on Board signs in the
1980s began having children. It has
prompted at least two New York compa-
nies to establish take your parent to
work day for new recruits as parents
remain involved even after their chil-
dren become adults.
Lenny Watkins, who lives a block
away from Bancroft Park, took his
friends son, then 4, to the hunt in 2009.
I just remember having a wonderful
time, him with his Easter basket,
Watson said, adding he can understand
why a parent would step in.
You have all these eggs just lying
around, and parents helping out. You
better believe Im going to help my kid
get one of those eggs. I promised my
kid an Easter egg hunt, and Id want to
give him an even edge.
Jennifer Rexford, who used to live
near the park, said she participated in
public Easter egg hunts with her boys,
ages 3, 8 and 14. She doesnt anymore,
because of pushy parents that she said
she has dealt with at the hunts.
It just seems to be the mindset.
People just want the best for their kids,
Rexford said.
Alsop said that dynamic is at play
with parents who hover over their chil-
dren, even into adulthood.

The likelihood a proposed mix of budget xes
will all come to pass completely is fairly slim
but even some will contribute to a ve-year goal
of turning a structural decit into a surplus,
according to interim County Manager John
Maltbie.
With continued emphasis on things weve
already talked about ... I do think we will see a
balanced budget and retaining levels of service
for the next ve years, Maltbie told the Board
of Supervisors yesterday in his kickoff to three
days of preliminary budget hearings.
Maltbie outlined a ve-year plan of reorgani-
zation, new taxes, layoffs and greater efcien-
cies aimed at cost-savings and revenue genera-
tion. Maltbie said he also asked every depart-
ment to slash the use of cellphones and similar
devices in half, review memberships and gure
out overtime xes, particularly in 24-hour
departments. Maltbies budget estimates having
a $6 million to $14 million surplus by the fth
year if everything comes into play, including no
more state reductions and an increase in tran-
sient occupancy tax and new taxes on parking
and rental cars.
With that in mind, beginning yesterday, each
county department is giving the Board of
Supervisors a look at the budgets they are craft-
ing for the June hearings. Mondays schedule
included departments involving public safety,
the environment and community needs.
The idea is for the board to get an early look
and departments to get early feedback before
Maltbies ofce submits the recommended
budget by June 1.
The Public Works and Parks Department plan
provided by Director Jim Porter in large essence
echoed last years budget the challenge of
keeping parks open with minimal maintenance,
the reduction in landll tip fees because diver-
sion efforts have been so good and a list of
county-funded facilities that do not pay rent.
The department is also at some point looking at
spending $1.29 million in capital to convert
Highway 1 into part of a coastal pedestrian trail
as part of the Devils Slide project slated to open
in 2013. The board expressed concern that
jumping into that project will jeopardize others.
Rather than simply focusing on the timing
and funding of the Devils Slide project,
Maltbie suggested the board look at all the
nancially-strapped parks.
Weve really been operating our park system
on life support for several years, Maltbie said.
Supervisor Dave Pine, who called the situa-
tion a crisis, agreed and reminded the board
the parks need at least $14 million to stay aoat.
Porter said the county is looking at some
fairly substantial capital in the future if the
parks put off maintenance and the possibility of
building closures and the end of overnight
camping.
Porter proposed a new trafc mitigation fee
and increasing parks and permit fees. In
response to grand jury recommendations about
management of the countys vehicle eet,
Porter said in the next scal year they will be
equipped with GPS systems and an online
reservations system will begin.
Supervisor Don Horsley supported some
planning fee increases but said overall, I hate
the idea of nickel and dimeing the public.
Pine also suggested just cutting the eet and
forcing people to live within limits.
Sheriff Greg Munks said his department is
looking at the potential loss of $1.1 million in
federal funding which is equivalent to seven
deputy sheriff positions. The department could
also raise $26,000 by adjusting its vehicle
impound fee, Munks said.
The Sheriffs Ofce, much like the Probation
Department which followed with its presenta-
tion, is also affected by the ongoing costs of
state inmate realignment. The ofce is crafting
a full nancial plan for a new jail and its pro-
gramming which Munks said will be present-
ed this fall.
Chief Probation Ofcer Stu Forrest said an
average of 30 former state parolees come
under his ofces responsibility each month.
The Probation Department has been hit hard
the last few years, losing probation ofcers
and agreeing to close the all-girls detention
center Camp Kemp to cut costs. Forrest said
yesterday he and Maltbie are looking at
options such as sharing the facility with other
jurisdictions or creating gender-specic pro-
grams for both girls and boys with Camp
Glenwood.
The Probation Department is one of lean
stafng and little exibility, Forrest said.
The current budget leaves us operational
but fragile, Forrest said.
The countys re service provider, Cal Fire,
is also facing a $1.6 million decit. Deputy
County Manager Peggy Jensen said several
ideas are being looked at, including eliminat-
ing an advanced life support engine at the
Tower Road station and consolidating three
re stations.
The Board of Supervisors meets 9 a.m.
Tuesday, March 27 to hear presentations from
the Information Services Department, Human
Resources, County Counsel, County Manager,
Board of Supervisors and the Health System.
At 1:30 p.m., the board will hear from the
Human Services Agency and Department of
Child Support Services.

Its long been understood in edu-
cation that theres a gap in achieve-
ment.
For the last 50 years, test scores
between high-income and low-
income children has grown by about
40 percent, according to a study
published last year by Sean
Reardon, associate professor of edu-
cation at Stanford University. That
gap is nearly twice the size of the
achievement gap by student ethnici-
ty, Reardon found.
Today, education leaders will
gather for a special event held at
Woodside High School for
Bridging the Gap: Can Technology
Successfully Assist Our Schools in
Closing the Achievement Gap?
from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The free
interactive conversation, open to the
public, will discuss the problem,
uses for technology and programs
trying to help those stuck in the gap.
Charles Schmuck, founder of the
Peninsula College Fund, said the
problem persists despite signicant
effort by local ofcials.
What else do we need to do to ll
that gap? he asked.
The Peninsula College Fund, he
said, tries to help. Started in 2006, it
focuses on helping students whose
overall GPA fell between 3.2 to 3.8.
Schmuck learned students from
low-income areas with GPAs higher
than 3.8 were often given opportuni-
ties from schools that wanted to
increase their diversity. Students with
good grades, but not that high, how-
ever, werent given the same support.
The group started by offering
three students a four-year,
$3,000 annual scholarship.
Today, the group supports stu-
dents from Redwood City, East
Menlo Park and East Palo Alto.
The request for scholarships,
however, has increased to 65 stu-
dents, many of them warranted.
The $12,000 scholarship paid
over four years is a draw for stu-
dents, but those awarded the schol-
arship also pointed to the emotional
support and internship placement as
one of the most helpful things the
group offers.
Twenty-two-year-old Luis
Pimentel, an 07 Menlo-Atherton
High School graduate, is currently
studying chemistry at the University
of California at Santa Cruz.
Being chosen as a recipient for
the Peninsula College Fund was a
big deal for Pimentel who has two
sisters and wanted to help cover the
costs for his parents. Pimentel also
found the groups guidance helpful.
While his parents are both support-
ive of education, neither went to
college and therefore arent always
able to answer his questions. In
addition, Pimentel has enjoyed
PCFs offering of annual work-
shops. He found particularly helpful
one held before he left for college
which covered what to expect and
tips for nding ways to t in.
Tania Garcia, a 2009 Sequoia
High School graduate and junior at
the University of California at
Berkeley, has, of course, beneted
from the money. However, shes
been really thankful for the support.
Its not just giving you money,
she said about howPCF differs from
other scholarships.
When she has questions about
anything she has people to whom to
turn. Garcia was also able to call on
PCF to help get a scholarship place-
ment over the summer. Her mentor
and even Schmuck check in with
Garcia to see how things are going.
I feel like there are a lot of peo-
ple backing me, she said.

One way to bridge achievement gap
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Rather than close Memory Lane
because of problems with vandalism, loi-
tering and alcohol and drug use, San
Bruno staff is recommending higher
fences and irrigated foliage to create a
buffer between homeowners and the 10-
foot-wide paved pedestrian walkway.
Last year, 14 property owners whose
homes run up against the easement and
the owner of Grace Honda approached
the city about closing Memory Lane in
hopes of stopping ongoing problems. In
February, the City Council postponed a
decision on possibly closing the walk-
way and instead instructed staff to collect
more information about alternatives.
Among the alternatives is increasing the
fencing and foliage, allowing residents to
build higher fences, erecting bollards to
keep cars out, upgrading the facility to
meet disability standards and increasing
enforcement of the area, according to a
staff report by City Attorney Marc
Zafferano.
Memory Lane is a pedestrian and bike
walkway that crosses Elm Avenue,
Poplar Avenue, Linden Avenue and
Grace Honda ending at El Camino Real.
The paved walkway is connected across

But they said he remained in the U.S.

The infractions include display-
ing signs too big, too close together
and on public property.
The controversial signs depict
fetuses and other graphic images
meant to dissuade women from get-
ting abortions.
Foti told the Daily Journal
Monday he thought he was in com-
pliance with the citys sign ordi-
nance.
They are out to get me, he said.
He was hit with similar infrac-
tions late last year for the same
offenses. The city just amended its
code enforcement rules that will
give the city the option to treat all
infractions as misdemeanors. The
rule changes do not take effect until
next week, however.

Burlingame officials
consider bond projects
Renovating an old school to meet
growing enrollment needs and mod-
ernizing other Burlingame schools
will take money.
Before asking voters to consider a
bond, the Burlingame Elementary
School District will discuss a possi-
ble project list.
Five years ago, the Burlingame
community identified more than
$90 million worth of projects to
complete. Measure A, a $48.3 mil-
lion bond measure, was passed in
2007. Those funds are nearing an
end and many projects remain.
Among the projects left are: class-
room modernization at Lincoln,
Franklin, Hoover and Burlingame
Intermediate, technology upgrades,
expanding BIS, completing roof
projects, exterior painting of older
schools and updates to multipurpose
rooms and gyms.
Measure A funds did allow the
district to complete a number of
projects including: toilet room reno-
vations at all schools, roofs at all
schools, technology enhancements
including Smartboards in all class-
rooms, eld renovations at Franklin
and BIS and classroom moderniza-
tion at Roosevelt and Washington.
The board meets 7 p.m. Tuesday,
March 27 at the District Ofce,
1825 Trousdale Drive, Burlingame.
String of burglaries
in Hillsborough
Police in Hillsborough are
reminding residents to lock their
cars and homes after a series of bur-
glaries occurred in the city last
week.
A home in the Jacaranda neigh-
borhood was broken into at about
1:30 p.m. on Thursday, police said.
The suspect or suspects gained
entry to a garage by smashing a
window, which activated a security
alarm, police said. Nothing was
taken from the home.
Separately, sometime late
Wednesday night or early Thursday,
property was stolen from an
unlocked car that was parked on
Victor Park Lane, police said.
A second auto burglary occurred
at about the same time in the 900
block of Black Mountain Road,
where property was taken from
another unlocked vehicle.
Several other burglaries were
reported in Hillsborough earlier this
month.
Police are seeking anyone who
might have seen anything suspi-
cious. Anyone with information can
contact Hillsborough police at (650)
375-7470.

WASHINGTON House members
of both parties on Monday teed off
against the agency in charge of airport
and port anti-terrorist screening, saying
it uses ineffective tactics, wastes
money on faulty equipment and treats
travelers rudely.
Were not cattle, said Rep. Gerald
Connolly, D-Va., adding that barking
orders undermines the good work of
the Transportation Security
Administration.
TSA officials told a hearing that air-
port screening is getting better for U.S.
travelers, because the agency is moving
away from a one-size-fits-all system.
Instead, the TSA is expanding pro-
grams to identify travelers posing a
risk, while allowing those who provide
personal information in advance to go
through a fast line.
A report by the Government
Accountability Office, Congress
investigative agency, agreed with law-
makers that several key programs of
the TSA have been flawed.

SAN DIEGO Mitt Romney trum-
peted a urry of conservative endorse-
ments along with backing Monday from
a delegate who belonged to campaign
dropout Jon Huntsman as he looks to
wrap up the GOP presidential nomina-
tion.
The former Massachusetts governor
highlighted the ongoing primary slog as
the conservative chorus behind him
grew, along with worry that the drawn-
out nomination ght will damage their
likely nominee against President Barack
Obama.
Campaigning in California, Romney
made an appeal to primary voters in a
contest still two months away on June 5.
I need you guys to get ready, to organ-
ize your effort, to get your friends to
vote, to collect some money, to get cam-
paign contributions, Romney told
employees at med-
ical device maker
NuVasive in south-
ern California.
Weve got a ways to
go.
R o m n e y
announced support
from Utah Sen. Mike
Lee, an early tea
party supporter who
ousted a longtime incumbent
Republican. The GOP presidential front-
runner also earned backing from
California Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the
third highest-ranking House Republican,
and from Al Cardenas, head of the
American Conservative Union.
Huntsman delegate Paul Collins, who
ran the former Utah governors cam-
paign in New Hampshire, also signed on
with Romney.
All four urged fellow Republicans to
unite behind Romney and save the GOP
from more months of a nasty, drawn-out
primary. Together, their backing repre-
sents an increasing groundswell of con-
servative support for Romney after his
Illinois victory last Tuesday. Lee, in par-
ticular, represented a coup for Romney.
He was one of the rst national tea party
voices and Romney had spent nearly a
year personally courting him. He visited
Lees Senate ofce last June to ask for
his support.
While in California, Romney planned
five separate fundraisers with deep-
pocketed donors over the next two days,
largely eschewing traditional campaign
events to raise money to pay for the pri-
mary campaign against chief challenger
Rick Santorum.
Still, Romney on Monday went after
President Barack Obama for telling
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
that he would have more exibility to
deal with missile defense after his last
election in November remarks
caught on tape when the president
thought he was speaking privately.

Benedict arrives in Cuba in footsteps of John Paul II
SANTIAGO, Cuba Pope Benedict XVI arrived in Cuba
on Monday in the footsteps of his more famous predecessor,
gently pressing the islands longtime com-
munist leaders to push through legiti-
mate reforms their people desire, while
also criticizing the excesses of capitalism.
In contrast to the raucous welcome
Benedict received in Mexico, his arrival in
Cubas second city was relatively subdued:
While President Raul Castro greeted him at
the airport with a 21-cannon salute and
military honor guard, few ordinary Cubans
lined Benedicts motorcade route into town
and the pope barely waved from his
glassed-in popemobile.
Santiagos main plaza, however, came alive when Benedict
arrived for his evening Mass, his main public event in Cubas
second city before he heads Tuesday to Havana. While the
plaza was not fully packed there was a festive atmosphere,
with Cubans dancing to the rhythms of a samba band awaiting
Benedicts arrival, waving small Cuban and Vatican ags.
Obama to Russia: More flexibility after elections
SEOUL, South Korea President Barack Obama told
Russias leader Monday that he would have more exibility
after the November election to deal with the contentious issue
of missile defense, a candid assessment of political reality that
was picked up by a microphone without either leader appar-
ently knowing.
Obamas Republican opponents pounced on the comment,
saying the president has a hidden agenda that could include
concessions to the Russians if he is re-elected this fall.
This is my last election, Obama is heard telling outgoing
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. After my election, I
have more exibility.
Afghan security forces kill three NATO troops
KABUL, Afghanistan Afghan security forces shot and
killed three international troops Monday, one of them an

The killings reect a spike in tensions between Afghan and
international forces that follow an American soldiers alleged
massacre of Afghan civilians, the burning of Muslim holy
books at a U.S. base, and uncertainty about Afghanistans fate
as foreign troops prepare to pull out.

Letters to the editor
Caltrain death investigations
Editor,
We read with concern the letter to the edi-
tor from Michael Woody of Burlingame that
appeared in the March 20 edition of The
Daily Journal.
Caltrain takes fatalities on the right of way
very seriously and those of us who work at
this agency feel deeply the impact of these
unfortunate, tragic incidents. Every fatality is
the object of an exhaustive investigation by
two independent law enforcement agencies
the county coroner and the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Ofce, Transit Police
Bureau. Caltrain does not conduct these
investigations.
It is important to note that the investigation
is not complete when the Caltrain tracks are
reopened for service. Indeed, the investiga-
tion usually has only just begun and the deci-
sion to restore service is unrelated to any
investigation into the cause of death. The
tracks are reopened only after law enforce-
ment agencies have concluded their own
work at the scene. Then, and only then, is the
railroad released back to Caltrain for the
resumption of service.
When there is a fatality on the Caltrain
tracks, the Transit Police Bureau, a division
of the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce,
conducts a complete and thorough investiga-
tion. At the same time, the county Coroners
Ofce is conducting its own, independent
investigation to make an ofcial determina-
tion as to the cause of death. These investiga-
tions typically take weeks to complete.
We concur with Mr. Woody that, These
peoples relatives and friends deserve (as
does the public) an honest answer as to what
happened.
The public can rest assured that each and
every fatality on the Caltrain right of way is
the focus of a professional, impartial investi-
gation and that it is conducted as quickly as
possible, but also as thoroughly as possible.

Refreshing point of view
Editor,
What a refreshing view submitted by U-T
San Diego and printed on your opinion page
in the March 24-25 edition of the Daily
Journal. One can only hope that the majority
of Californians nally are getting it. You can-
not live on borrowed money forever and
sooner or later the tax payers money and
patience runs out. We are getting close to
both of those situations. It does sound so log-
ical, we must decouple the spending from the
taxes and set a realistic budget based on
requirements only. That should be a base
line. Would using the 2008 budget numbers
for instance be a realistic start? How simple
would that be?
A Jerry Brown directive signed by
Democrats and the Republicans, the latter
who would line up to sign that agreement for
sure. The former not so much. And that, edi-
tor, is where we have our problem. In
California, it is Spend Baby ... Spend!
We could easily end up as the spent state
too.

Armchair cowboys
Editor,
Thank goodness we have the wisdom of
armchair warriors like Scott Abramson,
Desmond Tuck and Gil Anda (Letters, March
23) to advocate for a pre-emptive military
attack on Iran.
Naturally, these men have never fought for
Israel themselves, and their homes and fami-
lies are 7,000 miles from the consequences if
they are wrong, but we certainly must listen
to them over misguided skeptics like Meir
Dagan, who as Mossad leader was Israels
greatest warrior against Iran is directing
the sabotage of Irans reactors and the assas-
sinations of their nuclear scientists.
Dagan, of course, couldnt possibly be
right that an Israeli strike would be idiocy,
doomed to failure and likely to ignite a mas-
sive retaliatory attack that could claim many
Israeli lives. Thank goodness our homegrown
military geniuses know better. And, after all,
those missiles wont be falling on San Mateo.
Those of us with family in Israel and faith
in Dagans brilliance and experience feel dif-
ferently. We believe Dagans conclusion that
Irans nuclear program would easily survive
the attack, and that our loved ones might not.
But we are, of course, idiots worthy only of
Abramsons condescension and Tucks smug-
ness. As to Andas straw men nobody is
ignoring Irans threat they guide us like
the Scarecrow from Oz, in all directions.
May those cowboys continue to ride their
armchairs and write. They may yet save us
all from sanity.

Electric train
Editor,
Now that Caltrain is going to be electried,
where is the power going to come from? Is it
going to come from abandoned wind turbines
or solar arrays that cannot supply electricity
only when the sun shines? Or maybe the
power will come from bankrupt solar compa-
nies and bankrupt solar projects like Gov.
Jerry Browns baby in Southern California
that is stopped due to company bankruptcy.
These guys and gals in Sacramento need to
put together a good sound energy policy for
California before they overload the system
with electric trains and electric cars. The
energy policy in place now is not good now
and never will be for this state. Oh, wait a
minute. I know, the state can sell electric
vouchers that can be used for a price during
the trains running times. Or maybe the peo-
ple along the route will have to use electrici-
ty only at certain times of the day.
No, the train shouldn't be electried and
the folks in Sacramento that are pushing it
should have a pink slip delivered to them
very soon.

Public respect of high school tracks
Editor,
The story, Track closures concern run-
ners, in the March 2 edition of the Daily
Journal caught my eye, because I am a fairly
frequent user of the Hillsdale High School
track, and the parent of a former HHS stu-
dent athlete.
Of course, the SMUHSD student athletes
should have priority usage of all the districts
sports facilities. The district and the schools
athletic directors and coaches should
absolutely have control over when the gener-
al public or other organizations can use the
schools sports facilities. Students safety
must come rst and public safety second.
There is no doubt the coaches are most
knowledgeable of the risks and benets of
mixed usage of the facilities at any given
time.
Non-school users of the synthetic tracks
also need to be respectful of the facilities
they are so graciously allowed to use.
Despite signs at every entrance to the
Hillsdale track that clearly state certain rules
and restrictions, I have witnessed countless
violations by the general public who appar-
ently dont give a damn about the safety of
our high school athletes, or about preserving
the condition of the facilities on which the
district and city spent millions of dollars.
Bicycles, baby strollers, roller blades and
inappropriate footwear cause undue wear and
tear on track surfaces and are downright dan-
gerous to users on synthetic turf. Dogs, nut
and seed shells and food wrappings do like-
wise, not to mention the added lth.
It is my sincere hope that student athletes
and the public will be able to enjoy these
precious sports venues for many years to
come. To do so, all must respect the priorities
and fulll the responsibilities of usage.

Wrong turn on energy
Editor,
Please pay attention to the destructive
actions President Obama is approving by
allowing the construction of the southern part
of the Keystone Pipeline, dirty oil sands to be
built without regard to our rights to clean air,
water, food and soil. If we dont have these
then were a sick society that will only get
sicker.

Tired excuses
P
ills must be a lot heavier lately. How
else to explain the spike in exhaus-
tion as the reason given for the latest
round of 28-day vacations taken by those
whove collapse
under the weight of
their own celebri-
ty?
Cocktails, too,
have obviously
grown drier than
the best OO7 mar-
tini. Dehydrated,
this same woefully
tired and cotton-
mouthed set says.
Parched beyond
belief.
True, most of us
mere mortals cure exhaustion and dehydration
with a bottle of candy-colored electrolytes and
a little shut-eye. But we do not know the chal-
lenges of popularity. We do not know what it is
like to sit in ritzy hotel rooms with no opportu-
nity to lay our weary heads on 1,000-thread
count sheets of Egyptian cotton. We do not
know just how hard it is to nd the time for a
mere sip of cucumber and lemon-avored
water or crunch a few ice chips between
appearances. There is just no time when one is
busy promoting themselves or saving the
worlds children.
Granted, the wife of Kony 2012 director
Jason Russell now says his own personal docu-
drama namely a bizarre San Diego melt-
down in which he was found naked and ranti-
ng in the street and, by some accounts, giving
himself a helping hand is the result of psy-
chosis rather than drug or alcohol dependency.
A month or so in the hospital is what he needs,
his camp says.
The so-called reactive psychosis is still tied
to the initial explanation exhaustion AND
dehydration but sprinkles a little stress on
top. A triple whammy, no less!
Not to demean the very real possibility of a
mental break, but the reasoning seems a little
contrived in this era where ll-in-the blank
excuses are just fashionable code for abuse
problem. Thats right. Exhaustion is the new
black and chronic fatigue syndrome goes great
with a pair of Manolos.
For Russell, heres hoping those hospital
beds are comfy and the water perfectly chilled
because the way the Invisible Children project
and his own show have gone viral, theres no
way hes going to avoid the spotlight when
shipped back out to the real world. If he really
wants to move the focus back on an evil war-
lord and away from his own Britney Spears-
like misadventure, Russell better make sure to
schedule in some apple juice and nap time on
a regular basis.
Of course, unlike Russell, most folks in the
public eye dont gamble with blaming more
than one physical ailment in the hopes of pro-
tecting their image. Mike The Situation
Sorentino, of Jersey Shore fame, opted rst for
exhaustion. Then he moved to admitting pre-
scription medication and alcohol (not quite a
surprise for anybody with even a passing
awareness of the reality shows premise). Who
knew exing ones abs and tanning took so
much out of a boy? Of course, if the latter
were true, George Hamilton would be the most
exhausted man in the world. Actually, The
Situation is probably just tired of his situation
namely a ridiculous nickname and being
overshadowed by a pregnant Snooki.
And actress-turned-plastic-cougar Demi
Moore? The only thing fatigued on her is her
thumb from all that Tweeting of needless com-
mentary and even less necessary self-portraits
during her marriage meltdown. Whitney
Houston? She was so worn out she took an
unfortunate nap in a bathtub. Dave Chappelle?
He was so tired back in 2007 he disappeared
to South Africa. Probably got sidetracked look-
ing for Kony, or maybe a comfy mattress and a
tall glass of water. Lindsay Lohan enough
said. Even unexpected songstress Susan Boyle.
The list goes on and on and on.
When will they realize that the only thing
that has grown tired is the excuse?

NEW YORK Stocks leapt to multi-
year highs and recorded one of their
biggest gains of the year Monday after
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke
suggested that the economy still needs
help to produce faster job growth.
The Dow Jones industrial average
climbed 160.90 points to 13,241.63, its
third-best showing this year. The
Standard & Poors 500 index rose 19.40
points to 1,416.51, its highest close since
May 2008.
The Nasdaq composite index, which is
closing in on a 20 percent rally for the
year, climbed 54.65 points to 3,122.57, its
best nish since November 2000.
Health care stocks led the market on a
day when the Supreme Court began hear-
ing arguments on the constitutionality of
President Barack Obamas 2010 health
care law, which will require Americans to
carry insurance or pay a penalty.
If the court upholds the law, the insur-
ance companies stand to gain 30 million
customers. But the full impact is hard to
judge. The industry also ran ads against
the overhaul after deciding it would not
bring them enough healthy patients to
balance higher costs.
Health care stocks gained 1.7 percent
as a group Monday, beating the S&Ps 1.4
percent gain. Aetna rose 3.1 percent,
WellPoint 2.9 percent and UnitedHealth
Group 2.7 percent. The court is expected
to decide the case in June.
Bernanke, speaking to a group of econ-
omists, sounded pessimistic about jobs
even though the country has added an
average of 245,000 jobs each month since
December and the unemployment rate
has fallen steadily since last summer.
He noted that the number of people
working and the hours they work are well
below where they stood before the 2008
nancial crisis. He also suggested that
some of the decline in the rate was
because discouraged workers gave up
looking for work.
Bernankes comments could mean two
things for the market, both good for
stocks.
They could suggest that he believes the
Fed needs to continue to prop up the
economy by keeping short-term inter-
est rates near zero and perhaps by buying
more bonds later.
The Fed has embarked on two previous
rounds of bond-buying, most recently in
August 2010. The idea is to drive down
long-term interest rates and encourage
investors to buy stocks. The second round
ignited a 28 percent stock rally in eight
months.
He didnt say anything new. Its just
the fact that he said it, said Chip Cobb,
senior vice president of Bryn Mawr Trust
Asset Management in Pennsylvania.
Now were looking for more stimulus
again. Its like we cant get enough.
Bernanke said that some recent hiring
is merely companies making up for lay-
ing off too many people in 2009, rather
than a sign of a growing economy. That
could be a relief to investors who were
worried that labor costs would grow too
quickly and shrink earnings, said Paul
Zemsky, head of asset allocation at ING
Investment Management in New York.

NEW YORK The price of gasoline
is less than a dime away from last years
high.
Gas reached a nationwide average of
$3.90 per gallon on Monday. It has risen
17 cents so far this month. Pump prices
are expected to keep rising in the weeks
before Memorial Day weekend the
traditional kickoff of the summer driving
season.
The national average peaked last year
in early May at $3.98 per gallon. The
record high of $4.11 was set in July
2008.
Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil
analyst at Oil Price Information Service,
expects that at the very least were
going to get very close to the record. He
said prices could keep climbing through
June if a potential Sunoco renery clo-
sure in Philadelphia signicantly tight-
ens East Coast supplies of gasoline.
The price of gasoline has tracked the
price of crude oil. Benchmark U.S.
crude has gone up 8 percent already in
2012. Oil rose 16 cents Monday to
$107.03 per barrel in New York. Brent
crude, which is used to price oil import-
ed by U.S. reneries, added 52 cents to
nish at $125.65 per barrel in London.
Oil has risen this year as Western
nations confront Iran over its nuclear
program. They fear that Iran is building
a weapon, though it denies the claim.
Western leaders are trying to cut off
Irans oil revenues through an embargo
and a variety of other sanctions in hope
of forcing it to negotiate.
Iran is the worlds third-largest oil
exporter. Oil traders say that concerns
about a prolonged standoff, and reduced
Iranian exports, has added about $15 to
$17 per barrel to the price of oil.
Representatives from the U.S. and ve
other nations are expected to meet with
Iran in April for a new round of talks
about its nuclear program, diplomats
told The Associated Press. The country
turned away international inspectors in
February.
Meanwhile, natural gas futures hit a
new 10-year low, giving up 4.9 cents to
end the day at $2.226 per 1,000 cubic
feet.
Gas prices closing in on last years high
By Derek Kravitz
WASHINGTON The number of
Americans who signed contracts to buy
U.S. homes dipped in February from
nearly a two-year high, a mixed signal
ahead of the spring home-buying season.
The National Association of Realtors
said Monday that its index of sales
agreements declined 0.5 percent last
month to a reading of 96.5. Januarys
reading of 97 was the highest since April
2010, the last month buyers could quali-
fy for a federal home-buying tax credit.
A reading of 100 or higher is consid-
ered healthy. April 2010 was also the last
time it was that high.
More signings in recent months are
among the signs of a slight pick-up in
the housing market. Still, analysts said
the decline in February report was disap-
pointing after the three best months of
hiring in two years.
So far, stronger employment growth
has not prompted signicantly sturdier
willingness to sign purchase contracts,
despite or perhaps because of
some erosion in house prices over the
last few months, said Pierre Ellis, an
economist at Decision Economics.
Contract signings typically indicate
where the housing market is headed.
Theres a one- to two-month lag between
a signed contract and a completed deal.
A sale isnt nal until a mortgage is
closed.
January and February made up the
best winter for completed sales in ve
years, when the housing crisis began.
And builders are more condent about
the market and have is year. In February,
they requested the most permits to build
single-family homes and apartments
since October 2008.
Facebook: Ownership
lawsuit shows elaborate fraud
BUFFALO, N.Y. Attorneys for
Facebook sought the dismissal Monday
of what they called an opportunistic
and fraudulent lawsuit by a New York
man claiming half-ownership of the
social networking site.
The attorneys asserted that Paul
Ceglia, of Wellsville, had forged docu-
ments, fabricated emails and destroyed
evidence, and said he had waited too
long six years to le it and the
statute of limitations had expired.
Ceglias attorneys say their client
deserves his day in court.
In his 2010 lawsuit, Ceglia claimed
that a 2003 contract he and Facebook
founder Mark Zuckerberg signed enti-
tled Ceglia to 50 percent of Facebook,
which launched the following year.
Ceglia said the contract showed that
when he hired Zuckerberg, then a
Harvard University freshman, to help
him develop a street-mapping database,
he also gave Zuckerberg $1,000 in start-
up money for his edgling Facebook
idea in exchange for half-ownership of
the company if it grew.
Contracts for U.S. homes dipped in February

CSM ON THE TRACK: BULLDOGS POST TOP MARK, CSM BASEBALL WINS, SO DOES MENLO COLLEGE >>> PAGE 16
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There have been enough roadblocks to frustrate anyone,
but Menlo School center Drew Edelman just keeps moving
forward.
The summer before her freshman year, she broke a nger
on her right hand. She learned how to use her left better. She
tore ligaments in her wrist in August, had surgery in
September and was cleared to play Dec. 1. She went on to
post double digits in scoring and rebounding for the second
straight year. Despite the Knights playing with six or seven
players, which is never a good formula for a 6-4 center and
foul trouble, she only fouled out once this season.
All in all, Edelman just continues to better and better.
I stepped it up during my summer season, Edelman said.
She stepped it up enough to earn the Daily Journals
Female Basketball Player of the Year honors.
According to Menlo coach John Paye, Edelman stepped up
her game a lot this season.
She really improved her midrange game 15 feet out
not just on the block, Paye said. She also improved her drive
to the basket, (but) she still has a lot of room for improve-
ment.
Edelman set the tone for her season when she was named
the MVP of the Oregon Trail tournament early in the summer.
The way Edelman has progressed, one can almost count on
her improving in the future. She didnt pick up the game until
eighth grade and, in four short years, has developed into
arguably the best center in the county. At 6-4, she certainly
See PLAYER, Page 12
SPORTS 12
has the size, but size and coordination
dont always go hand in hand. But a
background in soccer helped her prepare
for both the volleyball and basketball
courts.
This year, Edelman averaged 18.9
points on 53 percent shooting from the
eld, and 16.4 rebounds per game a
ve-point leap in both categories. She
averaged just under two blocks and
assists per game (1.9 and 1.7, respec-
tively) and nearly one steal. She was
held under double-digits scoring once
this season, while twice scoring 30
points. She had six games of 20
rebounds or more with a high of 33
against American Canyon, along with
three games of 10 offensive boards or
more including 17 versus Mercy-
Burlingame.
As much as her game has grown on
the court, Paye is equally proud of the
way Edelman has grown as a person and
leader.
What also typies her success was
her maturity level, Paye said. In previ-
ous years, she would get down on her-
self if things didnt go her way. She
would get emotional at times when she
was an underclassman.
She is still kind of getting used to her
[height], but I really admire her. She
really handles herself very well.
As good as Edelman was during the
season, she really hit her stride at the
end of the season in the West Bay
Athletic League and in the Central Coast
Section tournaments as she helped the
Knights win ve of their nal six games,
including the WBAL tournament title.
In the WBAL seminals, the Knights
were matched up with nemesis Sacred
Heart Prep, which beat Menlo twice dur-
ing the regular season. Edelman had 15
points and 17 rebounds. Against Mercy-
San Francisco in the championship
game, Edelman scored the game winner
with one second left in a 53-52 win, cap-
ping a 25-point, 16-rebound perform-
ance. The Knights went on to win two
games in the CCS Division IV tourna-
ment before falling in the seminals.
She a talented player. Shes only
going to get better, Paye said. Shes
still learning the game. Shes a smart
girl and shes also a hard worker,
too.

PLAYER MMA and a dog
W
henever I interview someone and they say the
game was a dog ght, I cringe a little bit in light
of the Michael Vick story.
I understand its a common sports cliche to describe the
battle of a game (again, another misnomer) and I dont have
a problem with it.
Especially after watching my dog, Jake, at the dog park
wrestling with another dog and couldnt help noticing how
much it resembled an MMA match.
Now before I go any further, let me make this disclaimer:
no dogs were injured in the writing of this column. They
were two pups just wrestling around
with each other and at no time was
either dog in danger of getting hurt.
Also, whatever you may think of
Mixed Martial Arts, its a combat
sport that is clearly here to stay.
Its clear Jake is most comfortable
on his back, like a jujitsu expert.
Despite the other dog having domi-
nant position, Jake did a great job
fending off his attacks. At the same
time, Jake didnt just lie there and
absorb punishment, he went on the
offensive, a rare trait in the world of
MMA.
When Jake nally did manage to
get the reverse and gain top mount position, he went into
action, forcing his opponent to the defensive. The other dog
had a hard time fending off Jakes attacks and he did a good
job of moving around on top to keep his opponent off bal-
ance.
Jakes standup is probably the weakest facet of his MMA
game, but even then, he holds his own. Like a wrestler
checking his opponents hands to prevent him from getting
a grip, Jake would go after the other dogs front paws, as
way of keeping his opponent occupied. It was a only a mat-
ter of time before Jake ended up on his back, but his will-
ingness to engage in all areas of an MMA ght makes Jake
an attractive opponent. In a theoretical world of course.
***
Obviously there has been a lot of Tim Tebow talk lately,
following his ousting at Denver and subsequent move to the
New York Jets. Hes been such a hot-button topic for the last
year, so I shouldnt have been surprised when my uncle, who
is far from a diehard sports fan, asked me what the big deal
is about Tebow.
Is he good? my uncle asked.
To which I responded, No, and then gritting my teeth
and shaking my head, added, All he does is win.
Its not that I dont like the guy. Its just that it doesnt
make logical sense.
Hell be horrible all game long, the Broncos defense
keeps them in the game and then Tebow will have one good
drive usually at the end of the game, I added.
The look of bewilderment on his face is expected: hes not
good, but yet he wins? It just doesnt compute.
And yet, right now, that is Tebows NFL legacy. Will it
continue in New York? Im sure well nd out.

The NCAA tournament is down the Final Four and there is
probably not a more anticipated matchup than Kentucky-
Louisville and all the story lines that go along with it.
Despite Kentucky coach John Calipari trying to downplay
the signicance of this game, the only way it could be bigger
is if it was the NCAA championship, because there are very
few rivalries as intense as the one between the Wildcats and
the Cardinals.
Throw out the fact Louisville coach Rick Pitino led
Kentucky to a NCAA title, if Texas and Florida are known as
football states, Kentucky is known as a basketball state and,
in the commonwealth of Kentucky, you are either a
University of Kentucky fan or a Louisville supporter.
I havent watched a lot of the tournament this year. I pur-
posely didnt ll out a bracket so I would not be beholden to
every game of the tournament, but I have a feeling Ill try to
carve out some time for this matchup.

NFL: Kickoff rule
reduced concussions
PALM BEACH, Fla. Moving kickoffs up 5 yards last
season did exactly what the NFL sought, reducing concus-
sions.
The kickoff rule had an effect on the game, said Rich
McKay, chairman of the leagues competition committee.
There was a 40 percent reduction in concussions on that
play.
The league repeatedly has said the change to kicking off
from the 35-yard line was done solely for player safety.
McKay said Monday at the owners meetings it served that
purpose.
But he admitted surprise that total kickoff returns dropped
53 percent.
For all plays, concussions were down 12.5 percent, from
218 in 321 games in 2010 to 190 in 320 games last season.
There was no Hall of Fame game last year because of the
lockout.
Owners will vote this week to enhance player safety by out-
lawing horse-collar tackles on passers in the pocket, a pro-
posal made by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
There was a lot of talk about quarterback injuries, he said.
We watched every play where the quarterback was hurt. We
looked at every roughing-the-passer penalty, 100-plus, and we
were comfortable that the quarterback is being protected ade-
quately.
Owners will consider expanding protection of defenseless
players to those who are hit by crackback blocks. The pro-
posal calls for outlawing contact to the head area or being
blocked by an opponent headrst.
We saw some hits we wanted to make sure that players
changed their hit points on, McKay said.
CSM track posts winning marks
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
College of San Mateos Evan
McDaniel had the longest California
Community College mens shot put of
the season and Nikki Uikili won three
womens throwing events for CSM at
Mondays Maurice Compton
Invitational track and eld meet.
McDaniels put of 55 feet, 3 3/4 inch-
es led a CSM sweep of the shot, which
included Sione Fanaika at 50-9 1/4 and
Josh Uikili at 47-11 (the latter ranking
No. 15 in the state).
Fanaika was already No. 4 at 50-11.
McDaniel, a freshman from Reno,
improved more than three feet over his
previous best of 52-2, set on Feb. 24. He
also won the discus throw at 159-3 to
move up to No. 7 in the state, with
Fanaika second at 157-9 (good for No. 8
in the state).
Nikki Uikili threw the discus 140-6

COLLEGE BASEBALL
CSM 3, MISSION 2
The College of San Mateo baseball
team took advantage of an eighth inning
throwing error by Mission College and
Jeff Vonmoser scored the eventual win-
ning run in the Bulldogs 3-2 victory.
Ryan Wood, who pitched three
innings of one-hit baseball in relief,
picked up the win for CSM. Starter
Andrew Herrera went 2 1-3 innings.
Joseph Armstrong, who pitched a per-
fect ninth, picked up the save. He also
went 2 for 3 at the dish.
CSM led 1-0 early before Mission put
two runs on the board in their half of the
third inning on only one hit.
The Bulldogs tied it a half-inning later
when Nick Davenport singled to right
eld, plating Tanner Robinson.
Menlo College 7, Patten
University 5 (Game 1);
Menlo 11, Patten 0 (Game 2)
The Oaks took care of business today,
completing their series sweep against
Patten University with wins of 7-5 and
11-0 in Mondays doubleheader.
Pitching, defense and timely hitting was
the story, as Menlo moves to an even 10-
10 in conference play with an overall
record of 13-19.
We played some of our best baseball
for the majority of the series and the
results showed it, said Oaks Head
Coach Stefan McGovern via press
release. It was good that we didnt let
up, and that our best game came in the
fourth game of the series, which is
something to build off.
In that fourth game, the second of this
afternoons double dip, Menlo received
their best performance of the year from
junior starting pitcher James Jensen.
Making only his second start of the
season, the Castro Valley native went the
distance, surrendering four hits in earn-
ing his rst victory of the season.
Menlos offense in the second game
pounded out 11 runs on 15 hits.
Seven Oak runs in the first three
innings set the tempo as Menlo was the
beneciary of ve doubles in the rst
three frames. Coleman Cox kicked off
the scoring with a two-run double in the
bottom of the second inning to score
Will Pierce and C.J. Dailey, and then
Matt Ramon followed with an RBI base
knock to plate Cox.
In the bottom of the third, consecutive
RBI doubles off the bats of Pierce and
Michael Brandi pushed the lead to 5-0
and both would come around on an error
by second baseman David Whiteside to
extend that margin to 7-0.
Pierce nished the second game 3 of 4
with two doubles and three runs scored.
All seven runs were scored off Patten
starter Sean Rogers.
The Oaks would tack on four more in
the bottom of the sixth to push the game
out of reach at 11-0.
In game one, starting pitcher Derek
Martinez allowed four runs, three of
them earned, to record his second win of
the season.
Offensively the Oaks came to
Martinezs aid with seven runs over the
rst three innings. Menlo jumped on the
board with three in the bottom of the
first, starting the contest with three
straight singles from Mickey Phelps,
James Threw and Collin Forgey.
Threws base knock drove in Phelps,
who had stole second, and Threw and
Forgey touched up home on respective
RBI groundouts from Will Pierce and
C.J. Dailey.
In the bottom of the second, Threw
came up with a clutch two-run double to
score Taylor Cohn and Aaron Suarez-
Lopez pushing the Menlo lead to 5-0,
and a Forgey sacrice y to plate Phelps
gave the Oaks a 6-0 advantage.

Sandoval goes yard in win
ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders
more than doubled their draft haul by
receiving three compensatory picks
Monday for Aprils draft.
The NFL awarded the Raiders picks at
the end of the third, fourth and fth
rounds based on free agents they lost
and signed last offseason.
Whatever the formula is, I love this
formula. I love it, new general manager
Reggie McKenzie said from the NFL
owners meetings in Florida.
Obviously this is better than what I
expected, he said. Hopefully, we can
make do and have some good picks.
McKenzie was expecting a third-
round pick as compensation for star cor-
nerback Nnamdi Asomugha signing
with Philadelphia. He was very pleased
to get picks in the fourth and fth rounds
as well.
Among the other free agents the
Raiders lost last season were tight end
Zach Miller, guard Robert Gallery and
linebacker Thomas Howard. The most
prominent player signed was tight end
Kevin Boss.
Oakland previously only had picks in
the fth and sixth rounds because of
trades and the supplemental draft.
The Raiders traded their rst-round
pick to Cincinnati last October for quar-
terback Carson Palmer, their second-
rounder to New England for the picks to
draft offensive lineman Joseph
Barksdale and running back Taiwan
Jones last year, their third-rounder to
take quarterback Terrelle Pryor in the
supplemental draft, their fourth-rounder
in 2010 to Washington to acquire quar-
terback Jason Campbell and their sev-
enth-rounder last year to Seattle for line-
backer Aaron Curry.
Oaklands rst pick in Aprils draft
will be the 95th overall up two spots
because New Orleans was docked a sec-
ond-round pick for its bounty program
and the Raiders used their third-rounder
in the supplemental draft.
TOKYO Kurt Suzuki hit his second home run in Japan
on Monday in the Oakland Athletics 12-6 loss to the Hanshin
Tigers in an exhibition game.
Oakland shortstop Cliff Pennington led off the fourth inning
with a solo homer and Suzuki, who hit a two-run home run in
the Athletics 5-0 win over the Yomiuri Giants on Sunday, con-
nected for a three-run shot at Tokyo Dome to cut Hanshins
lead to 7-4.
I was just trying to put the barrel on the ball and keep it
simple, Suzuki said. When you go out there you cant take
anything for granted and have to play hard.
The Athletics are in Japan to open the season against Ichiro
Suzuki and the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday and Thursday.
Cuban defector Yoenis Cespedes sat out Mondays exhibi-
tion after leaving Sunday nights contest because of cramps in
his quadriceps. Cespedes was 0 for 4 in Sundays game against
the Giants but is expected to be in the lineup for Wednesdays
game.
The Tigers took a 7-0 lead through the rst three innings,
taking advantage of some sloppy defensive play by the As.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Pablo
Sandoval gave the San Francisco Giants
something to smile about with a two-run
homer with two outs in the ninth inning
to defeat Kansas City 4-2 on Monday.
Sandoval had three hits, including a
double, and scored twice.
But what occurred in the rst 2 2/3
innings was even more important for the
Giants.
Ryan Vogelsong, expected to be a key
part of the rotation, made his rst Cactus
League start after twisting his back at
the start of the spring.
Vogelsong, a right-hander who was
13-7 in 30 games (28
starts) in 2011, gave
up a run and two hits
and struck out two in
2 2/3 innings.
He threw 39 pitch-
es, one short of the
teams goal.
It wasnt bad in
the first inning
(when the run
scored), but it was denitely better in
the second and third, Vogelsong said.
It was good that I got to sit down, get
back up, sit down, get back up, sit down,
get back up for three innings.
He said he hasnt been worried about
his back this spring.
I was condent that I would be OK,
he said. You guys (reporters) were
more worried about it than anyone else.
It has been a non-issue.
I had Tommy John surgery (in 2001),
so I have been through the rehab process
before.
I havent thought about it (back) at
all. I just try to pitch. I dont hear the
crowd, I dont hear the music, I just
focus on hitting the (catchers) glove as
much as I can.
He also was pleased that he was able
to throw out of the stretch, and even
elded a bunt.
The Giants might not be able to get

estly, I will try not to pay too much attention to it.

Stanford men ready
for NIT Final Four
NEW YORK After ying all the way
across the country for the second time this sea-
son, Washington wants to make this trip to
Madison Square Garden much more successful
than the rst one.
The way the Huskies gure it, if they win the
NIT championship it will show they truly
belonged in the NCAA tournament.
The only No. 1 seed left in the 75th edition
of the NIT, Washington faces coach Tubby
Smith and his rejuvenated Minnesota team
Tuesday night in the second game of a semi-
nal doubleheader. Stanford plays
Massachusetts, driven by Brooklyn-bred point
guard Chaz Williams, in the Final Four opener.
Washington (24-10) spent a week in New
York during December, taking in two
Broadway musicals and taking it on the chin
against Marquette and Duke.
Now the Pac-12 regular-season champs are
back with a renewed purpose and a chip on
their shoulders.
Its a lot more of a business trip. Were out
here playing for a championship. Were out
here on a mission, so it is less fun and more
work, said sophomore guard Terrence Ross, a
potential NBA prospect averaging 26.3 points
in the NIT. I think coming back is just, its
more of an opportunity to prove to everybody
that we should have been in the NCAA tourna-
ment.
When the Huskies took Manhattan three
months ago, they visited the 9-11 Memorial
and scored theater seats for The Lion King.
They also saw Memphis and met the cast
backstage, with players then writing papers on
the shows as part of a two-credit course
arranged through a joint project between the
schools athletic administration and drama
department.
They ate at the famous Dinosaur Bar-B-Que
in Harlem, and actor Jim Caviezel, a
Washington alum whose father played hoops at
UCLA for John Wooden, hosted the Huskies
on the set of his CBS television show Person
of Interest.
But when it came time to hit the court,
Washington came up empty in two key games
at Madison Square Garden. The Huskies lost to
then-No. 11 Marquette 79-77 and four days
later to then-No. 7 Duke, 86-80.
A victory in either game might have
impressed the NCAA tournament selection
committee. Instead, the Huskies were left out
when the 68-team eld was announced March
11, making them the rst team to win a regu-
lar-season title in a so-called power conference
and still miss the NCAAs.
When the reality set in, we were rock-bot-
tom mentally. So its difcult. But theyve
done a good job of bouncing back, coach
Lorenzo Romar said Monday. I think the
experience from being here last time should
help us this time. I thought we had a little
pregame jitters when we were here the rst
time. I dont think well have that. ... I think
were here now really focused on this tourna-
ment.
Washington will play No. 6 seed Minnesota
(22-14), which sputtered through an injury-
plagued season lled with close losses in the
rough-and-tumble Big Ten.
The Golden Gophers lost star forward
Trevor Mbakwe to a season-ending knee injury
in their seventh game, and senior center Ralph
Sampson III has missed the last ve with a
sprained right knee. Backup forward Oto
Osenieks is still bothered by concussion symp-
toms, too.
Other than that, though, Smith said the
Gophers are healthier than they had been and
thats made all the difference. Theyve reeled
off three straight road wins in the NIT, by an
average margin of 11 points, against La Salle,
Miami and Middle Tennessee the latter
before a raucous crowd of 10,521.
Top talent defines this
years NCAA Final Four
Lurking in virtually every corner of the
Superdome this weekend will be lottery picks,
some other NBA rst rounders and assorted
AP All-Americans.
Everywhere, that is, except the Louisville
locker room.
This years Final Four features three teams
Kentucky, Kansas and Ohio State all
with their fair share of the most gifted players
in the country, and a fourth with a coach who
has squeezed the most out of the next tier of
talent.
Does that make Louisvilles Rick Pitino the
best coach, or say something about John
Calipari, Bill Self and Thad Matta? Well,
those three might tell you something about
how tough it is dealing with a bench full of
stars.
A lot of coaches would agree that, at times,
coaching teams with a ton of talent is probably
more difcult because youre constantly try-
ing to get the maximum out of them, said
Matta, who has a star in AP All-American
rst-teamer Jared Sullinger, widely viewed as
a top-15 NBA draft pick. Its so much easier
to get to the top than stay at the top. A lot of
times when you have a team thats loaded, you
ght a lot more adversity on the outside than
when youre scraping to get to the top.
Which brings us to the Kentucky Wildcats,
who play Louisville on Saturday in the rst
seminal.
By choice, Calipari has developed a pro-
gram so overowing with top-level talent that
hes spending more time looking to replace
players after a season or two than developing
them over four.
Freshman Anthony Davis, another AP All-
American, will likely be the top player in the
draft should he leave after this season.
Classmate Michael Kidd-Gilchrist wont be
far behind. Freshman Marquis Teague and
sophomores Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb
will also have a chance at the rst round if
they leave.
So, Calipari must be the most persuasive
(some might have another adjective to
describe this after those run-ins with the
NCAA) recruiter in history, right?
We dont do anything outlandish, he said.
Were not promising minutes or shots.
Theyve just really got to trust that you have
their best interest at heart. Its a players-rst
program and they learn that, as you sacrice,
we all gain, as individuals and as a team.
Getting his players to buy into that, and to
come to a team where they arent guaranteed
to be the only star, might be Caliparis biggest
accomplishment as a coach. But once they get
there, he insists hes doing more than simply
rolling the ball out on the oor.
Kansas Thomas Robinson
leads AP All-America team
Kansas forward Thomas Robinson has even
more in common with Blake Grifn now. Not
everything, though.
Robinson, who played through personal
tragedy as a sophomore reserve, capped his
junior season by being a unanimous selection
to the Associated Press All-America team
Monday, a day after leading the Jayhawks to
the Final Four.
The 6-foot-10 Robinson averaged 17.9
points and 11.8 rebounds this season and he
was a rst-team pick by all 65 members of the
national media panel that selects the weekly
Top 25.
The last unanimous pick was Grifn in
2009.
Its a blessing to be named even in the
same category as Blake Grifn, Robinson
said. For that to happen, Im glad all the hard
work is paying off.
Robinson did find some similarities
between them besides being Big 12 Player of
the Year.
That man jumps out the gym. He looks like
a superhero when he takes off, Robinson
said. But we both try to be aggressive. He
knows what he does well. I feel the same way.
I know what I do well.
Joining Robinson on the rst team were
Jared Sullinger of Ohio State, the rst repeat
All-America in three years, freshman Anthony
Davis of Kentucky, Draymond Green of
Michigan State and Doug McDermott of
Creighton.
Davis received 63 rst-team votes while
Green, the lone senior on the team, got 53.
Sullinger had 30, one more than McDermott.
The voting was done before the NCAA tour-
nament.
Robinson received nationwide support as a
sophomore when he lost his mother, grand-
mother and grandfather in a three-week peri-
od. He not only became a starter this season,
he became a star.
Sports brief
Ex-S.F. Giants
employee sentenced
for embezzlement
SAN FRANCISCO A former
payroll manager for the San
Francisco Giants has been sen-
tenced to 21 months in federal
prison after she admitted to embez-
zling $2.2 million.
Forty-two-year-old Robin
OConnor of American Canyon
was sentenced Monday in feder-
al court, where she tearfully
apologized to family, friends
and the team.
The judge ordered OConner to
pay more than $1.4 million to the
Giants and forfeit two cars prose-
cutors say she bought with the
stolen money. She previously paid
back $960,000.
In November OConner pleaded
guilty to defrauding the team by
transferring money to her bank
accounts between June 2010 and
June 2011.
Her attorney says OConner is
deeply remorseful, and her hus-
band would take the couples two
sons to his native England if she
went to prison.

You dont
have to live
like this!
By Mark Sherman
WASHINGTON As demonstrations
swirled outside, Supreme Court justices sig-
naled on Monday they are ready to confront
without delay the keep-or-kill questions at the
heart of challenges to President Barack
Obamas historic health care overhaul.
Virtually every American will be affected by
the outcome, due this summer in the heat of
the election campaign.
On the rst of three days of arguments
the longest in decades none of the justices
appeared to embrace the contention that it was
too soon for a decision.
Outside the packed courtroom, marching
and singing demonstrators on both sides
including doctors in white coats, a Republican
presidential candidate and even a brass quar-
tet voiced their eagerness for the court to
either uphold or throw out the largest expan-
sion in the nations social safety net since
Medicare was enacted in 1965.
Tuesdays arguments will focus on the heart
of the case, the provision that aims to extend
medical insurance to 30 million more
Americans by requiring everyone to carry
insurance or pay a penalty.
A decision is expected by late June as
Obama fights for re-election. All of his
Republican challengers oppose the law and
promise its repeal if the high court hasnt
struck it down in the meantime.
On Monday, the justices took on the ques-
tion of whether an obscure tax law could
derail the case.
Audio of the days argument can be found
at: http://bit.ly/GSXEpf.
The 19th century law bars tax disputes from
being heard in the courts before the taxes have
been paid.
Under the new health care law, Americans
who dont purchase health insurance would
have to report that omission on their tax
returns for 2014 and would pay a penalty
along with federal income tax on returns due
by April 2015. Among the issues facing the
court is whether that penalty is a tax.
Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr.,
defending the health law, urged the court to
focus on what he called the issues of great
moment at the heart of the case. The 26
states and a small business group challenging
the law also want the court to go ahead and
decide on its constitutionality without delay.
But one lower court that heard the case, the
federal appeals court in Richmond, Va., has
said the challenge is premature. No justice
seemed likely to buy that argument Monday.
The justices red two dozen questions in
less than a half hour at Washington attorney
Robert Long, who was defending the appeals
court ruling.

What is the parade of horribles? asked
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, if the court were to
decide the penalties were not a tax and the
health care case went forward? Long suggest-
ed that could encourage more challenges to the
long-standing system in which the general rule
is that taxpayers must pay a disputed tax before
they can go to court.
The questions came so quickly at times that
the justices interrupted each other. At one
point, Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena
Kagan and Sotomayor started speaking at the
same time. Chief Justice John Roberts, acting
as trafc cop, signaled Ginsburg to go rst,
perhaps in a nod to her seniority. Only Justice
Clarence Thomas, as is his custom, stayed out
of the fray.
Verrilli also faced pointed questioning over
the administrations differing explanations for
whether the penalty is a tax.
General Verrilli, today you are arguing that
the penalty is not a tax. Tomorrow you are
going to be back and you will be arguing that
the penalty is a tax, Justice Samuel Alito said.
Verrilli said Mondays argument dealt with
the meaning of the word in the context of the
19th century law, the Anti-Injunction Act.
Tuesdays session will explore Congress
power to impose the insurance requirement
and penalty. In that setting, he said, Congress
has the authority under the Constitution to lay
and collect taxes, including the penalty for not
having insurance.
Still, he had trouble keeping his terms
straight. Answering a question from Kagan,
Verrilli said, If they pay the tax, then they are
in compliance with the law.
Justice Stephen Breyer jumped in: Why do
you keep saying tax? Breyer reminded Verrilli
he should be saying penalty.
Right. Thats right, Verrilli said.
The administration ofcials involved with
the defense and implementation of the health
care law, Attorney General Eric Holder, Health
and Human Services Secretary Kathleen
Sebelius, were in the courtroom Monday.
Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama and
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi also were
in the crowd that lled the courtrooms 400
seats.
Outside the court building, about 100 sup-
porters of the law walked in a circle holding
signs that read, Protect my healthcare, and
chanting, Care for you, care for me, care for
every family. A half-dozen opponents shout-
ed, We love the Constitution!
Republican presidential candidate Rick
Santorum was there, too, declaring anew that
GOP front-runner Mitt Romney has no stand-
ing to challenge Obama on the law since
Massachusetts passed a somewhat similar ver-
sion when Romney was governor. Santorum
said, If you really want Obamacare repealed
theres only one person who can make that
happen.
Said Romney, on CNN, If Im elected pres-
ident I will repeal Obamacare. And I will stop
it in its tracks on Day One. I believe its uncon-
stitutional. I believe the court will nd it
unconstitutional.
A four-person student band from Howard
University was part of the group favoring the
law, playing New Orleans-style jazz tunes.
People hoping for a glimpse of the action
had waited in line all weekend for the relative-
ly few seats open to the public. The justices
allotted the case six hours of argument time,
the most since the mid-1960s.
The justices also will take up whether the
rest of the law can remain in place if the insur-
ance mandate falls and, separately, whether
Congress lacked the power to expand the
Medicaid program to cover 15 million low-
income people who currently earn too much to
qualify.
If upheld, the law will force dramatic
changes in the way insurance companies do
business, including forbidding them from
denying coverage due to pre-existing medical
conditions and limiting how much they can
charge older people.
The law envisions that insurers will be able
to accommodate older and sicker people with-
out facing nancial ruin because of its most
disputed element, the requirement that
Americans have insurance or pay a penalty.
HEALTH
Excerpts from Mondays Supreme Court
arguments over whether legal challenges
to President Barack Obamas health care
law are premature under the Anti-
Injunction Act, which bars lawsuits
against a tax until after the tax is paid:
Solicitor General Donald Verrilli: This
case presents issues of great moment and
the Anti-Injunction Act does not bar the
Courts consideration of those issues.
Robert A. Long: Somewhat to my sur-
prise, tax is not defined anywhere in the
Internal Revenue Code.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor: Assuming we
find that this is not jurisdictional, what is
the parade of horribles that you see occur-
ring if we call this a mandatory claim pro-
cessing rule? What kinds of cases do you
imagine that courts will reach?
Justice Antonin Scalia: If its not juris-
dictional, whats going to happen is you
are going to have an intelligent federal
court deciding whether you are going to
make an exception. And there will be no
parade of horribles because all federal
courts are intelligent.
Justice Stephen Breyer: What we want
to do is get money from these people.
Most of them get the money by buying the
insurance and that will help pay. But if
they dont, they are going to pay this
penalty, and that will help, too.
Justice Samuel Alito: Today you are
arguing that the penalty is not a tax.
Tomorrow you are going to be back and
you will be arguing that the penalty is a
tax. Has the Court ever held that some-
thing that is a tax for purposes of the tax-
ing power under the Constitution is not a
tax under the Anti-Injunction Act?
Verrilli: No, Justice Alito, but the Court
has held in the license tax cases that some-
thing can be a constitutional exercise of
the taxing power whether or not it is
called a tax. And thats because the nature
of the inquiry that we will conduct tomor-
row is different from the nature of the
inquiry that we will conduct today.
Tomorrow the question is whether
Congress has the authority under the tax-
ing power to enact it and the form of
words doesnt have a dispositive effect on
that analysis. Today we are construing
statutory text where the precise choice of
words does have a dispositive effect on the
analysis.
Justice Elena Kagan: Suppose a person
does not purchase insurance, a person who
is obligated to do so under the statute
doesnt do it, pays the penalty instead, and
that person finds herself in a position
where she is asked the question, have you
ever violated any federal law, would that
person have violated a federal law?
Verrilli: No. Our position is that person
should give the answer no.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Theres
this category of people who are Medicaid
eligible; Medicaid doesnt cost them any-
thing. Why would they resist enrolling?
Gregory Katsas: I dont know, Justice
Ginsburg. All I know is that the difference
between current enrollees and people who
could enroll but have not is, as I said, is a
$600 million delta.
Roberts: Why would you have a require-
ment that is completely toothless? You
know, buy insurance or else. Or else what?
Or else nothing.
Katsas: Because Congress reasonably
could think that at least some people will
follow the law precisely because it is the
law. And let me give you an example of
one category of person that might be -- the
very poor, who are exempt from the penal-
ty but subject to the mandate.
Katsas: The purpose of this lawsuit is to
challenge a requirement a federal
requirement to buy health insurance. That
requirement itself is not a tax. And for that
reason alone, we think the Anti-Injunction
Act doesnt apply.
Chief Justice John Roberts: The whole
point of the suit is to prevent the collec-
tion of penalties.
Katsas: Of taxes, Mr. Chief Justice.
Roberts: Well, prevent the collection of
taxes. But the idea that the mandate is
something separate from, whether you
want to call it a penalty or tax, just does-
nt seem to make much sense.
Katsas: Its entirely separate, and let me
explain to you why.
Roberts: Its a command. A mandate is a
command. Now, if there is nothing behind
the command, its sort of, well, what hap-
pens if you dont follow the mandate? And
the answer is nothing. It seems very artifi-
cial to separate the punishment from the
crime.
Katsas: Im not sure the answer is noth-
ing, but even assuming it were nothing, it
seems to me there is a difference between
what the law requires and what enforce-
ment consequences happen to you.

By Marilynn Marchione
CHICAGO New research gives clear
proof that weight-loss surgery can reverse and
possibly cure diabetes, and doctors say the
operation should be offered sooner to more
people with the disease not just as a last
resort.
The two studies, released on Monday, are
the rst to compare stomach-reducing opera-
tions to medicines alone for diabesity
Type 2 diabetes brought on by obesity.
Millions of Americans have this and cant
make enough insulin or use what they do
make to process sugar from food.
Both studies found that surgery helped far
more patients achieve normal blood-sugar
levels than medicines alone did.
The results were dramatic: Some people
were able to stop taking insulin as soon as
three days after their operations. Cholesterol
and other heart risk factors also greatly
improved.
Doctors dont like to say cure because
they cant promise a disease will never come
back. But in one study, most surgery patients
were able to stop all diabetes drugs and have
their disease stay in remission for at least two
years. None of those treated with medicines
alone could do that.
It is a major advance, said Dr. John Buse
of the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, a leading diabetes expert who had no
role in the studies. Buse said he often recom-
mends surgery to patients who are obese and
cant control their blood-sugar through med-
ications, but many are leery of it. This evi-
dence will help convince them that this really
is an important therapy to at least consider,
he said.
There were signs that the surgery itself
not just weight loss helps reverse diabetes.
Food makes the gut produce hormones to spur
insulin, so trimming away part of it surgically
may affect those hormones, doctors believe.
Weight-loss surgery has proven to be a
very appropriate and excellent treatment for
diabetes, said one study co-leader, Dr.
Francesco Rubino, chief of diabetes surgery
at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill
Cornell Medical Center. The most proper
name for the surgery would be diabetes sur-
gery.
The studies were published online by the
New England Journal of Medicine, and the
larger one was presented Monday at an
American College of Cardiology conference
in Chicago.
More than a third of American adults are
obese, and more than 8 percent have diabetes,
a major cause of heart disease, strokes and
kidney failure. Between 5 million and 10 mil-
lion are like the people in these studies, with
both problems.
For a century, doctors have been treating
diabetes with pills and insulin, and encourag-
ing weight loss and exercise with limited suc-
cess. Few very obese people can drop enough
pounds without surgery, and many of the
medicines used to treat diabetes can cause
weight gain, making things worse.
Surgery offers hope for a long-term x. It
costs $15,000 to $25,000, and Medicare cov-
ers it for very obese people with diabetes.
Gastric bypass is the most common type:
Through keyhole surgery, doctors reduce
the stomach to a small pouch and reconnect it
to the small intestine.
One previous study tested stomach banding,
a less drastic and reversible procedure for lim-
iting the size of the stomach. This technique
lowered blood sugar, but those patients had
mild diabetes. The new studies tested perma-
nent weight-loss surgery in people with long-
time, severe diabetes.
At the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Philip Schauer
studied 150 people given one of two types of
surgery plus standard medicines or a third
group given medicines alone. Their A1c levels
the key blood-sugar measure were over
9 on average at the start. A healthy A1c is 6 or
below.
One year after treatment began, only 12
percent of those treated with medicines alone
were at that healthy level, versus 42 percent
and 37 percent of the two groups given sur-
gery.
Use of medicines for high cholesterol and
other heart risks dropped among those in the
surgery groups but rose in the group on med-
icines alone.
Every single one of the bypass patients
who got to 6 or less got there without the need
for any diabetes medicines. Almost half of
them were on insulin at the start. Thats pret-
ty amazing, said a study co-leader, Dr.
Steven Nissen, the Cleveland Clinics cardio-
vascular chief.
An obesity surgery equipment company
sponsored the study, and some of the
researchers are paid consultants; the federal
government also contributed grant support.
The second study was led by Dr. Geltrude
Mingrone at the Catholic University in Rome,
with Rubino from New York. It involved 60
patients given one of two types of surgery or
medicines alone. The researchers set as their
goal an A1c under 6.5 the level at which
someone is considered to have diabetes.
Two years later, 95 percent and 75 percent
of the two surgery groups achieved and main-
tained the target blood-sugar levels without
any diabetes drugs.
Studies: Surgery can put diabetes into remission
It is a major advance. ...This evidence will help convince
them that this really is an important therapy to at least consider.

residential streets by crosswalks.
Neighbors and business owners whose
properties abut the walkway cite prob-
lems of vandalism, loitering and drug
use they would like to stop. From 2006
through 2011, 44 calls were directly
related to activities on Memory Lane.
Twenty-nine of those calls were for graf-
ti, nine for vandalism, three for loiter-
ing and three for abandoned bikes,
according to a staff report. The access
way is also heavily used by Parkside
Intermediate School students. School
ofcials also support the closure.
On the other hand, the city mailed
surveys to 390 households about the
possible closure.
Of the 134 to respond, 68 percent to
70 percent did not favor the closure and
9 percent to 11 percent probably did not
favor the closure, according to an earlier
staff report by Zafferano and
Community Development Director
Aaron Aknin.
City staff does not recommend closing
the lane temporarily or permanently
noting similar activity in residential
areas near Capuchino High School,
Lions Field and Forest Lane Park.
Memory Lane had the fewest number of
calls compared to those, according to the
staff report. In addition, staff felt closing
Memory Lane would cut off access used
by many in that community.
The walkway has a long history with
the city.
In 1939, the developer who subsidized
the lots that abut Memory Lane offered it
to the city for pedestrian access, as well
as easements for public utilities, accord-
ing to a staff report. San Bruno accepted
in 1940. In 1950, the city abandoned the
third part of Memory Lane, which now
crosses Grace Honda to El Camino Real.
About nine years ago, San Bruno
approved a change to the Grace Honda
conditional use permit that maintained
the pedestrian access.
At the same meeting, the council will
consider amending its investment policy
to include money from the $68.75 mil-
lion settlement, which includes five
vacant lots, with Pacic Gas and Electric
Company in regards to the fatal Sept. 9,
2010 explosion and re.

houseguest ended up shooting the intrud-
er.
The victim was transported to the hos-
pital with injuries so serious that police
have still been unable to interview him.
After police conducted some inter-
views, however, it was determined that
the shooting victim had spent the night
drinking with friends who live in the area.
It is apparent he was intoxicated and
there is a distinct possibility that he may
have inadvertently entered the wrong res-
idence, believing it to belong to one of his
companions that evening, according to a
police statement.
The intruder was unarmed, according
to police, and the houseguest, in his 40s
and a resident of Brentwood, was staying
at the home after a family gathering,
according to police.
It is unclear whether anyone will be
charged in the incident as police have yet
to forward the case to the San Mateo
County District Attorneys Ofce.
VICTIM
court on April 5. He posted a $10,000
bail bond.
Charles Vela Reyes Jr., 46, of Menlo
Park, delayed entering a plea until April
2 and remains in custody in lieu of
$10,000 bail.
Christopher Daniel Winans, 24, of
East Palo Alto pleaded not guilty and
returns to court April 6 for a preliminary
hearing. He is free on a $10,000 bail
bond.
The remaining suspects bailed out
after their March 22 arrest and will
appear in court at the end of April. They
are Paul Tazbaz, 36; Samnang Chun, 23,
both of San Mateo; Steve Wilson, 52,
and Cruz-Martin Caseiro-Rosas, 32,
both of South San Francisco; and
Stephen Wolf, 64, of Portola Valley.
The 10 men were identied as possi-
bly being in possession of child pornog-
raphy during a Silicon Valley ICAC
Task Force investigation which is head-
ed by the San Jose Police Department.
The task force targets peer-to-peer le
sharing online by tracking images of
pre-pubescent children through individ-
ual Internet protocol addresses. The
police then searched the homes where
those addressed originated.
Images and videos of prepubescent
boys and girls engaged in sexual acts
were found on a computer in Lees resi-
dence and evidence showed he both
downloaded and shared them, according
to the District Attorneys Ofce.
Authorities looked at Ambler after
Microsoft received a cybertip in
October 2010 about child pornography
being accessed from his IP address,
prosecutors said. A search of his home
allegedly returned images and videos of
children between the ages of 6 and 15
in various sexual acts and some of the
pornography came from as far away as
the United Kingdom. Authorities
reported also finding numerous emails
related to trading or forwarding the
images, too.
Reyes laptop computer had child
pornography on it and the download
dates coincided with the times he had
custody of his 8-year-old child during
his ex-wifes business trips, according
to the District Attorneys Ofce.
A similar cybertip also led detectives
to Winans East Palo Alto residence.
SUSPECTS
now.
By the 2014-15 school year, even with
a 26 to 1 student-teacher ratio, the dis-
trict will run out of space for new stu-
dents, Simms said.
The advisory committee will include
four parents from each Foster City
school; one principal; two residents
picked by the Foster City Chamber of
Commerce; three residents picked by the
City Council; and three residents picked
by the districts Board of Trustees.
Members and past members of the
City Council and school board will not
serve on the committee.
The two groups held a joint meeting
last night to see if city ofcials were on
board with the districts SCORE plan.
Projections show enrollment increas-
ing steadily at Foster City schools over
the next few years and with new high-
density housing being built at Pilgrim-
Triton, pressure on school space will
increase.
Some council members questioned
whether the group of 13 will be effective
enough to sway the council if the group
decides that city-owned property will be
the best bet for a new school.
Councilman Charlie Bronitsky sug-
gested that the city and district pick a
liaison from each board to report on the
groups ndings and process.
Without a champion on this council it
will be hard to get done, Bronitsky said.
Having that champion is critical.
He suggested newly-elected
Councilman Steve Okamoto act as a liai-
son to the group.
Councilman Herb Perez questioned
why a principal should sit on the adviso-
ry group and said it should be lled with
experts rather than people who are just
passionate about the issue.
Without a group of critical thinkers
looking at the issue, it is likely the group
will come back to the council in July
with recommendations the council will
not like, he said.
The district wants to put a $130 mil-
lion bond measure on this Novembers
ballot and wants to have a fourth school
site identied by then. If it doesnt, the
district will not be able to put a bond
measure on the ballot until November,
2013.
Since enrollment continues to grow,
the district is placing Foster City stu-
dents in schools within the city limits but
not necessarily the one closest to a fam-
ilys home. Should enrollment spike
before a long-term solution is found, the
district may need to look at placing
Foster City students in San Mateo
schools, Simms said previously.

SCHOOLS
TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 2012
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Although your fertile
imagination will supply you with many brilliant ideas,
unless you implement at least some of them, theyll
be of little value. Dont be all talk and no action.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A better-than-usual day
in terms of your fnances is not a signal to loosen up
the purse strings, especially if you do so to gratify
an extravagant whim. Better to pay off any long-
standing bills.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- As long as you dont al-
low negative inclinations to weaken your resolve, you
should be able to successfully promote a promising
idea. Remain positive throughout the day.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Although conditions for
personal acquisition look good, you need to be smart
about how you handle your newfound wealth. If you
go on a spending spree, all that you gained will slip
away rapidly.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Social involvements with
friends should prove to be rather pleasant, as long as
you dont get carried away and spend more than you
can afford. Leave the credit cards at home.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There is nothing wrong
with fulflling your ambitious aspirations, but only if
you dont do so at the expense of others. If it is, you
may lose more than you gain.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- In order to get your points
across, you should try not to be coy or circuitous
when explaining them. The best way to state your
case is in an enthusiastic, direct manner.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- The ability to improve
upon some basic ideas of others is one of your better
assets. If and when your schemes work out well,
make sure you get some of the credit.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If a partnership is
to work out well, both you and your cohort must be
in total agreement, down to the last detail. When you
are, it will be a slam dunk.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have what it
takes to accomplish a lot, but remember, you still
have your limitations. Establish reasonable objectives
that you can complete.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- In order to maintain
a smooth relationship with a valued friend, do not
intentionally or even accidentally pry into personal
matters he or she wishes to keep secret.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- When it comes to your
work or something youre tying to accomplish, much
productivity can be achieved through consistency
and tenacity. Do not involve yourself in what you
cant fnish.
