CHICAGO Across the country,
Americans plunked down an esti-
mated $1.5 billion on the longest of
long shots: an innitesimally small
chance to win what could end up
being the single biggest lottery pay-
out the world has ever seen.
The numbers drawn Friday night
in Atlanta were 2-4-23-38-46, Mega
Ball 23.
Forget about how the $640 mil-
lion Mega Millions jackpot could
change the life of the winner. Its a
collective wager that could fund a
presidential campaign several times
over, make a dent in struggling state
budgets or take away the gas worries
and grocery bills for thousands of
middle-class citizens.
And its a cheap investment for
the chance of a big reward, no mat-
ter how long the odds 1 in 176

Americans bet nearly $1.5 billion to
win record Mega Millions jackpot

Redwood City planning commis-
sioners will consider allowing ofce
uses in the downtown retail core to
combat an unusually high amount of
ground oor vacancies in the midst
of a still-shaky economy.
On Monday night, the Planning
Commission will discuss tweaking
the citys downtown precise plan
which currently bars ofces from
those spaces. The downtown precise
plan establishes policies, goals and
programs for the long-term physical
development of the citys urban
core.
The proposed amendment would
let ofce uses go in if the applicant
can identify 40,000 square feet of
Redwood City may allow offices
on ground-floor downtown lots
Months after giving the go-ahead
to test sharing fire services, the
Burlingame City Council will dis-
cuss the funding requirements
Monday.
Burlingame currently partners
with Hillsborough for re services
under Central County Fire. In July,
the City Council approved the con-
tinuation of work toward creating a
temporary fire station while a
shared re station is explored and
consolidating administration with
Millbrae and San Bruno re depart-
ments. Moving forward with the
station, the city is now looking at
the actual cost to implement the
plan.
In total, the temporary station
project will cost $588,800. Under
the proposed shared cost agree-
ments, Burlingame would cover
$176,640, Hillsborough would
cover $117,760 and Millbrae would
cover $294,400, according to a staff
report by Central County Fire Chief
Don Dornell. The costs are less than
the original estimate of $800,000.
Costs to Central County Fire
could be offset, Dornell wrote,
through retirements and by reducing
staff on Truck 34. The temporary
station will save Central County
Fire $450,000 annually, he wrote.
Under the previously approved
timeline, an administrative merger
would occur Oct. 1 allowing for the
sharing of personnel and joint staff
meetings. A temporary re station
would open July 1, 2012 and work
for a year. Collected data would be
presented to the city councils in
May 2013 at which point further
consolidation would be considered.
A full merger could then take place
starting in July 2013.

Surfers didnt take on monstrous
waves for the Mavericks competi-
tion this year, but that wont stop the
community from celebrating the
notorious swells Saturday.
Noting previous safety issues,
Mavericks organizers decided to
debut a new tradition this year with
a festival. The festival offers music,
interviews with surfers, rare
Mavericks surf footage, food, give-
aways and the inaugural Mavericks
Awards.
Mother Nature didnt throw us
the perfect conditions for a contest,
and she may throw us a curveball
Saturday with a little rain and wind,
but that wont stop us, Contest
Director Jeff Clark said in a press
release. When its Mavericks, you
have to be ready for a few curve-
balls.
Even without an ofcial contest,
there will be awards. Spokeswoman
Jessica Banks laughed in explaining
this is the hardest part for people to
understand since the awards are new
but also because there was no of-
cial contest.
Instead the awards are considered
end-of-the season awards. These
awards were open to anyone who
surfed Mavericks massive swells
this season. Judges considered win-
ners various categories by watching
video footage and still photos.
The festival features musical acts
Dank Jenkins, Bar Fight and The
Expendables. Well-known surfers
who have surfed Mavericks will talk
and special footage of the surf will
be shown. A skate ramp will also be
part of the fun. Those wanting to
take part will need to bring their
own skateboard, have a helmet and
sign a waiver.
Celebrating Mavericks
No surf contest, but there will be a festival and awards

Ice cream is an $11 billion retail industry.
***
Ice cream production, and consumption,
increased greatly in the 20th century with
advances in refrigeration and power. In
1899, U.S. production of ice cream was 5
million gallons. In 1909, 30 million gallons
were produced, 150 million gallons were
made in 1919 and 800 million gallons of ice
cream were produced in 1986.
***
California is the nations largest ice cream
producer. The state produced 156 million
gallons of ice cream last year, including
sherbet and frozen yogurt.
***
In 1905, 11-year-old Frank Epperson left

stick. Originally called the Epsicle, Franks
children renamed the treat Popsicle.

A drumroll and countdown preceded the
ceremonial ip of switch Friday afternoon at
Westborough Middle School to showcase the
new solar and energy efciency upgrades to
South San Francisco schools.
The South San Francisco Unied School
District celebrated its $13 million project
Friday. Expected to reduce the districts utili-
ty costs by $20 million over the next 25 years,
the project includes solar panels at 15 ele-
mentary, middle and high school sites
throughout the district. Overall, the systems
are expected to produce 1.68 megawatts of
electricity, cutting the districts electricity use
in half, said Teresa Mayer, CFO and director
of nance for Chevron Energy Solutions,
which partnered with the district on the proj-
ect.
Harnessing the power of the sun helps
make our schools more environmentally sus-
tainable, cuts their energy bills, and creates
thousands of teachable moments for our stu-
dents, said California State Superintendent
Tom Torlakson. Thats a win-win-win propo-
sition, for our schools and for California.
Funded through Measure J funds, a $162
million bond measure approved by voters in
November 2010, the project will result in cost
savings. That boost will directly support
school programs, said board President Judy
Bush.
South San Francisco Superintendent
Alejandro Hogan said the work will not only
allow the district to reduce its carbon footprint
but also provide new education opportunities
for students.
In addition to solar panels, the district
included upgrades to the heating and lighting
system to help cut usage.
South San Francisco is the third local dis-
trict to go live with solar panels.
In September, the San Mateo Union High
School District held a ceremony for its $31.5
million solar project on six school sites which
corresponded with Torlaksons release of the
statewide Schools of the Future Report. The
89-page document outlines plans to support
efforts to make schools sustainable, a
statewide bond measure to offer seed money
and greater opportunities for students to learn
about emerging green technologies because of
the on-site technology.
In October, the San Bruno Park School
District debuted its $7.2 million solar project
including upgrades to the roofs to support the
system. Unlike the other projects, which used
bond funds, San Bruno used $5.3 million in
clean renewable energy bonds. The district
contributed $1.9 million from the proceeds of
selling the Carl Sandburg school site in 2005
for $30.5 million.

Schools selected to receive the
Green Schoolhouse Series building
Parkway Heights Middle School will soon
have a new building.
This week, the district learned it would
receive a Green Schoolhouse Series building
a fully furnished 15,000-square-foot build-
ing with classrooms and a tech center, said
Superintendent Alejandro Hogan.
Valued at $4 million to $6 million, the
building will be in addition to the work being
completed throughout the South San
Francisco Unied School District thanks to
Measure J a $162 million bond approved
by voters in 2010.
The credit for this award goes to Interim
Assistant Superintendent Sandra Lepley who
found the project and worked through the
lengthy application process on behalf of the
district, according to a district press release.
The contract, once reviewed with county
counsel, is planned to go before the Board of
Trustees April 12.
Belmont-Redwood Shores receives
math and science innovation grant
Sandpiper Elementary School science
teacher Nicole LaCount and PTA Grant
Committee Co-chair Jeffrey Wong were hon-
ored Wednesday at the Math & Science
Teacher Innovation Awards.
They received nearly $5,000 for LabQuest
data collection kits to study climate change
and biodiversity.
Wong assisted LaCount with applying for
the grant for an innovative lesson to help stu-
dents understand the reasons behind global
climate change, as well as its impacts, as a
mechanism for teaching fundamental scientif-
ic principles to students.
In 2005, the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors established the Innovation Fund
to provide competitive school grants for pro-
grams that engage and excite student about
science, technology, engineering and mathe-
matics (STEM). The STEM activities deepen
student engagement and understanding of the
role math and science plays in peoples lives.
The award provides math and science teachers
in fourth through sixth grades with an oppor-
tunity to connect student learning through the
innovative use of technology and creative,
interactive projects.
Principal Linda McDaniel of Sandpiper
Elementary School said, This grant award
not only shows us that we are on the right
track, providing our students with an excellent
science education, but truly inspires our teach-
ers to create innovative lesson plans designed
for our students to understand the major sci-
entic issues our world faces today. These are
lessons that stick with our students, preparing
them for high school and motivating them to
pursue careers in the sciences.

On Wednesday,
the San Mateo
County Community
College District
Board of Trustees
decided to hire a law
rm familiar with the California Voting
Rights Act; authorize Chancellor Ron
Galatolo to seek bids for a professional rm
familiar with analyzing voter populations and
drawing boundaries; and appointed a two-
member subcommittee board President
Dave Mandlekern and Trustee Richard
Holober to work with the hired profes-
sionals. That subcommittee would report nd-
ings back to the board before any decisions
will be made on the districts boundaries.
Last year, a suit was led by the Lawyers
Committee for Civil Rights, the Asian
Law Caucus, law rm Arnold & Porter
LLP and voting rights attorney Joaquin
Avila which contends the current method is
inequitable to minorities. Although Latinos
and Asians each comprise approximately 25
percent of the countys population, only one
Latino has held a seat on the Board of
Supervisors since 1995 and no Asians, the
group argued. While the case is still in court,
the San Mateo County Community
College District Board of Trustees has
been discussing examining its own policies
since it serves the same area.
The San Mateo County Association of
Realtors (SAMCAR) announced its
endorsements for the June 5 primary elec-

Student discover sunken
treasure in Oakland lake
OAKLAND An 11-year-old trawling the
waters of Lake Merritt for garbage as part of a
class cleanup project recovered two bags of
treasure instead.
The bags lled with antique jewelry, gold
and silver chains, pocket and wrist watches,
and other valuables weighed about 15 pounds
each and were submerged in a few feet of
water, said Richard Bailey, executive director
of the Lake Merritt Institute, which runs
cleanup programs at the 140-acre lake.
Bailey waded out to retrieve the sacks
Thursday after the student was unable to lift
them out of the water with a net. One of the
bags had Wells Fargo stamped on it.
Weve had some unusual things, but this is
really pretty unusual, Bailey said.
Bailey said volunteers usually come across
plastic bags and other litter although he said
that adult volunteers previously found a couple
of kilograms of white powder, a sawed-off
shotgun and an Uzi rie.
Carbon dioxide leak
sickens workers at food plant
VALLEJO One worker was in serious
condition Friday while 90 others exposed to a
carbon dioxide leak at a Northern California
food processing plant have recovered, hospital
ofcials said.
Workers at Ghiringhelli Specialty Foods in
Vallejo began having difculty breathing and
some started vomiting due to what reghters
described as a gas leak in a kitchen fed by an
external carbon dioxide tank.
The leak was capped but nearly all workers
at the plant suffered at least some effects from
the gas, Vallejo Fire Capt. Marty Culverwell
said.
It was shut off in the kitchen and the tank
feeding the kitchen has also been secured,
Culverwell said. It was contained and venti-
lated correctly.
Immigrants ordered
deported may be released in U.S.
SAN FRANCISCO The case of a
Vietnamese ex-con accused of brutally slaying
ve people in a San Francisco home has shed
harsh light on Supreme Court rulings that have
allowed the release of thousands of criminal
immigrants into U.S. communities because
their own countries refused to take them back.
After Binh Thai Luc, 35, spent years behind
bars in San Quentin for an armed robbery, an
immigration judge ordered him deported six
years ago. Instead, he resumed his old life in a
quiet San Francisco neighborhood because his
native Vietnam never provided the travel docu-
ments required for his return.
Around the Bay
The Sheriffs Ofce has released a sketch of
the man they believe robbed and attempted to
rape a woman in San Carlos Wednesday
morning as she arrived at work.
The suspect is described as light-skinned
white man in his early 30s with blue eyes and
unknown hair color. He stands 6 feet or taller
and weighs approximately 300 pounds. He
was wearing a black San Francisco Giants
baseball cap, blue jeans and a dark hooded
sweatshirt.
At approximately 6:30 a.m. March 28, the
woman was unlocking the
rear door of a business on
the 1600 block of Laurel
Street, in the alley between
Laurel and Walnut streets,
when she said a large man
grabbed her from behind
and warned he had a knife.
The man forced her into
the building and tried
removing an article of clothing but was fright-
ened away when the business alarm sounded,
according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
The man grabbed her purse as he left and
the woman was not injured.
Sheriffs deputies and Redwood City police
searched the area extensively but couldnt nd
the suspect.
This type of incident is extremely rare in
the otherwise low-crime downtown area of
San Carlos but the public is asked to be vig-
ilant about their surroundings, Lt. Larry
Schumaker said in a written statement.
Anyone with information about the incident
is asked to contact Detective Hector Acosta at
363-4064 or hacosta@smcgov.org. Callers
may also use the Sheriffs Ofce Anonymous
Witness Line at (800) 547-2700.
Sketch of attempted rapist released
An East Palo Alto housekeeper was sen-
tenced to six months jail and ordered to repay
more than $30,000 for cleaning out expensive
jewelry from at least three homes in the coun-
ty.
Between December 2009 and June 2, 2010,
prosecutors say Luz Maria Garcia, 43, stole
high-end gold and gemstone jewelry from
multiple homes she was assigned to clean by
The Maids service of Redwood City. The
District Attorneys Office said although
Garcia was charged in three cases, she also
admitted stealing from five other homes
where no victims were identied.
The rst victim reported having a $4,200
diamond ring and gold earrings taken from a
jewelry box in Belmont.
Garcia also took two pairs of gold ear-
rings and a pair of blue topaz earrings from
a Menlo Park home, according to prosecu-
tors. In Atherton, she reportedly stole a
gold necklace with diamond studs, gold
jewelry and other pieces.
Garcia reportedly sold much of the goods
to area jewelry stores.
On the morning of her February jury trial,
Garcia pleaded no contest to felony charges
of grand theft and possession of stolen prop-
erty in return for no more than a year in jail.
Garcia received half the time with credit of
one day earned before posting a $50,000 bail
bond and was also ordered to pay restitution
to the victims in the amounts of $3,940,
$15,884 and $13,084.

FRESNO A citrus disease that has killed
millions of citrus trees and cost growers bil-
lions of dollars across Florida and Brazil has
been detected in California, despite the indus-
trys best efforts to keep it at bay.
After a week of testing the U.S. Department
of Agriculture conrmed at noon Friday that
citrus greening was detected in a lemon-grape-
fruit hybrid tree in a residential neighborhood
of Los Angeles County.
The disease stands to threaten not only
Californias nearly $2 billion citrus industry,
but treasured backyard trees scattered through-
out the state.
Huanlongbing is called the worlds worst
disease of citrus, said Dr. Robert Leavitt of
the California Department of Food and
Agriculture. It had been present until now in
all of the worlds major citrus producing areas
except California.
The bacterial disease, also known as huang-
longbing, is carried by the Asian citrus psyllid
and attacks a trees vascular system, producing
bitter fruit and eventually killing the tree. Sap-
sucking pysllids that feed on an infected tree
become carriers of the disease.
It is not a threat to humans.
Its disappointing, said Joel Nelson of
California Citrus Mutual. Now well see if
this great program that we believe
we have in place is going to
work.
Detection of the disease
has been state citrus
growers fear since the
bug rst crossed into
San Diego County
from Mexico in
2008, potentially
t h r e a t e n i n g
Californias fresh citrus
market. Despite 25 years of
worldwide research, there
still are no biological or genetic
controls for the disease that keeps
fruit from ripening.
The disease is present in Mexico and across
the southern U.S., but nowhere is the problem
more severe than in Florida, where the disease
rst appeared in 2005. The University of
Florida estimates it has cost 6,600 jobs, $1.3
billion in lost revenue to growers and $3.6 bil-
lion in lost economic activity.
The pest and the disease also are present in
Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and South Carolina.
The states of Arizona, Mississippi and
Alabama have detected the pest
but not the disease.
California growers and
state agricultural ofcials
have been aggressively
trapping and testing
bugs for the disease
since the rst sighting
four years ago.
This is the other shoe
dropping, said Ted Batkin of
the California Citrus Research
Board. Were prepared, and now
well put our game face on.
The industry group will ramp up trapping
efforts and increase testing samples in an effort
to keep the disease from crossing into the San
Joaquin Valley, where 80 percent of the states
citrus grows.

April Foolishness!

WASHINGTON The argu-
ments are done and the case has been
submitted, as Chief Justice John
Roberts says at the end of every
Supreme Court argument. Now the
justices will wrestle with what to do
with President Barack Obamas
health care overhaul. They have a
range of options, from upholding the
law to striking it down in its entirety.
The court also could avoid deciding
the laws constitutionality at all,
although that prospect seems remote
after this weeks arguments.
A look at six potential outcomes,
from the simplest to the most compli-
cated possible rulings:
Q. What if the Supreme Court
upholds the law and nds Congress
was within its authority to require
most people to have health insur-
ance or pay a penalty?
A. A decision in favor of the law
would end the legal ght and allow
the administration to push forward
with implementing its provisions
over the next few years, including the
insurance requirement, an expansion
of Medicaid and a ban on private
insurers denying coverage to people
with pre-existing health problems.
The political wrangling, however,
probably would continue as candi-
dates for Republican presidential
nomination and lesser ofces are
calling for repeal of the law.
Q. What if, on the other hand,
the court strikes down the entire
law?
A. That would kill a costly new
federal entitlement before it has a
chance to take root and develop a
constituency of beneciaries and sup-
porters, namely more than 30 million
people who are supposed to wind up
with health insurance because of the
law.
In addition, some parts of the law
already are in effect and would be
rolled back. One popular provision
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 tax-
payers.
But theres no escaping Americas
double-barreled problem of excruci-
atingly high health care costs and
many uninsured people, more than 50
million according to the latest esti-
mates.
Whether its dealing with the feder-
al decit, retirement security for sen-
iors or even the Pentagon budget,
elected ofcials would still have to
confront health care at nearly every
turn.
Congress would get to roll the ball
up the hill again.
Q. What happens if the court
strikes down the individual insur-
ance requirement, but leaves the
rest of the Affordable Care Act in
place?
A. Knocking out the requirement
that Americans carry insurance
would not be the end of Obamas
health care overhaul. Theres a lot
more in the 900-plus pages of the
law.
But it would make the complicated
legislation a lot harder to carry out,
risking more complications for a U.S.
health care system already seen as
wasteful, unaffordable and unable to
deliver consistently high quality.
Ten million to 15 million uninsured
people who would have gotten cover-
age under the law could be left out.
The cost of individually purchased
private health insurance would jump.
That would make it more expensive
for the government to subsidize pre-
miums, although millions of middle-
class people would still be entitled to
such assistance under the laws
remaining provisions.
If the individual mandate is struck,
the laws Medicaid expansion would
still cover millions more low-income
people, mainly childless adults.
And a host of other mandates
would stay in place. Starting in 2014,
medium-sized and large employers
would be hit with nes for not pro-
viding coverage to their workers.
Insurance companies would be
required to accept people with pre-
existing medical problems, no longer
allowed to cherry-pick the healthy to
keep costs down. They would also be
barred from imposing higher premi-
ums on people in poor health and
limited in what they could charge
older adults.
If that happens, premiums in the
individual health insurance market
would jump anywhere from 10 per-
cent to 30 percent, according to vari-
ous forecasts from economists.
Experts debate whether or not such
a cost spike would trigger the col-
lapse of the insurance market for
individuals and small businesses
or just make coverage even more
expensive than it already is.

NATION/WORLD 8
By Julie Pace and Ben Feller
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama said Friday he was plowing ahead with
potential sanctions against countries that keep
buying oil from Iran, including allies of the
United States, in a deepening campaign to
starve Iran of money for its disputed nuclear
program.
The world oil market is tight but deep enough
to keep the squeeze on Iran, Obama ruled.
The sanctions aim to further isolate Irans
central bank, which processes nearly all of the
Irans oil purchases, from the global economy.
Obamas move clears the way for the U.S. to
penalize foreign nancial institutions that do oil
business with Iran by barring them from having
a U.S.-based afliate or doing business here.
Obamas goal is to tighten the pressure on
Iran, not allies, and already the administration
exempted 10 European Union countries and
Japan from the threat of sanctions because they
cut their oil purchases from Iran. Other nations
have about three months to signicantly reduce
such imports before sanctions would kick in.
Still, administration officials said that
Obama is ready to slap sanctions on U.S. part-
ners and that his action on Friday was another
signal.
At issue for Obama was ruling, by Friday,
whether oil supplies were sufcient to keep
demanding that nations cut off Iran not an
insignicant matter in a time of high election-
year gas prices at home.
Obama gave his OK after considering avail-
able reserves, increased oil production by
some countries and global economic condi-
tions. The White House emphasized that he
would continue to keep an eye on the oil mar-
ket to make sure that it and its consumers
could withstand shrinking purchases out of
Iran.
With oil prices already rising this year amid
rising tensions over the nuclear dispute
between Iran and the West, U.S. ofcials have
sought assurances that pushing countries to
stop buying from Iran would not cause a fur-
ther spike in prices.
The U.S. sanctions are set to take effect on
June 28. A European oil embargo, approved in
January, starts in July.
Put together, Obama administration ofcials
contend Iran is about to face its most severe
economic pressure ever.
The United States imports no oil from Iran.
The main importers of Iranian oil that have
not received exemptions from the U.S. are
China, India, Turkey, South Africa and South
Korea. The administration would be loath to
hit a close friend like South Korea or India, or
a NATO ally like Turkey, with sanctions, and is
working with those countries to reduce their
imports.

Barack Obama shakes hands after talking at the University of Vermont in Burlington.

PORTLAND, Me. President Barack
Obama could be caught in an election-year
bind on gay marriage, wedged between the
pressure of supporters who want him to back
same-sex marriage and the political perils of
igniting an explosive social issue in the midst
of the campaign.
Interviews with gay rights advocates and
people close to Obamas campaign suggest it
is no longer a matter of if, but when the presi-
dent publicly voices his support. But Obama
backers are split over whether that will happen
before the November elections.
Gay marriage is already a big issue in a
handful of states that have it on their ballots in
November, including Maine, where Obama
was headlining two fundraisers Friday. The
president also headlined fundraisers Friday in
Vermont, one of six states, plus the District of
Columbia, where gay marriage is legal.
But neither in Vermont nor in Maine did
Obama touch on the issue during his public
remarks.
Once an opponent of gay marriage, Obama
declared in 2010 that his personal views on the
subject were evolving. He has gone no fur-
ther in public since then.
People familiar with the Obama campaigns
deliberations have tamped down expectations
that the president might declare his support for
gay marriage before the election. They say the
campaigns internal conversations on the issue
focus instead on how to energize gay and les-
bian voters in spite of Obamas lack of clarity
on the issue.
Public support for gay marriage is increas-
ing in the U.S., including among the inde-
pendent voters who are a key to general elec-
tion success.
But regardless of whether Obama has made
up his mind on the subject, its not the topic
his campaign wants to be talking about head-
ing into an election expected to be decided
largely on economic issues. As White House
and campaign ofcials learned all too well
during the controversy over birth control
access earlier this year, stepping into social
issues even those with Democratic support
can quickly throw the presidents message
off course.

problems with gay marriage issue
OPINION 9
High school tracks should be
available for the general public
Editor,
I am writing in response to Christina
Reynolds letter, Public respect of high
school tracks, in the March 27 edition
of the Daily Journal, in which she
claims that because she has observed
multiple violations of athletic track
usage at Hillsdale High School among
casual athletes and others who according
to her dont give a damn about the
safety of athletes. It is right that the
school district exclude the general pub-
lic from any track at any high school at
the sole discretion of district ofcials
and coaches. This statement is not fair to
the many folks who use the facilities
respectfully at high schools that I know
of. I have not seen such behaviors at
Mills, Burlingame or San Mateo high
schools for the past 10 years. If anyone
claims that tracks are being destroyed or
vandalized and athletes safety is imper-
iled then reliable records should be
brought forward.
Adding insult to injury, Reynolds
states that the public should be respect-
ful of the facilities that they are so gra-
ciously allowed to use. We should want
to preserve the facilities on which the
district and city spent millions of dol-
lars. Well, where did these millions of
dollars come from? The fact is that there
has been a long tradition of the district
providing the public that supports them
access to their tracks.
This is harmless, is good for peoples
health and builds community support for
the district. We should be happy to
encourage our citizens to come outdoors
to exercise. Instead of teaching our chil-
dren to keep toys to themselves,
shouldnt we teach sharing and commu-
nity building?

Off-leash dog hours
Editor,
I would like to commend the
Burlingame City Council for the wisdom
of its off-leash policy, and in particular
for its recent decision to keep
Washington Park on-leash during
evening hours (Burlingame dogs to stay
on leash in the March 21 edition of the
Daily Journal).
I do not agree with John Syracuse in
his letter, Extended off-leash hours at
Washington Park, in the March 28 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal, that this policy
denies dogs and owners their opportunity
to socialize or that the decision reects
an aspiration on the part of the council to
turn Burlingame into a want-to-be
Rodeo Drive. In terms of parks,
Burlingame is a poor community that
will probably never have the park
resources that other communities enjoy.
Under these circumstances it is neces-
sary that the few parks available serve
the whole community. Maintaining the
existing mixture of on- and off-leash
hours at Washington Park helps to do
this.
Anyone who visits Washington Park or
Ray Park will observe responsible dog
owners, their on-leash dogs, and every-
one else sharing a beautiful, safe and
clean community resource. If additional
off-leash capacity is necessary, it should
be added as a dedicated, fenced area, not
subtracted from existing resources.

Well-written perspective
Editor,
Regarding Michelle Durands March
30 column Rushing to judgment, My
thoughts exactly! Bravo! A well-written,
to-the-point, appropriate and fair analysis
of the Trayvon/Zimmerman situation. It
needed to be said.
Though, I think it would have been
appropriate as well to have commented a
little more on how local and national tel-
evision broadcasters and their associated
talking heads (on the left and right) are
handling the story. It seems, no doubt
for their own nancial and rating inter-
ests, they are more interested in exploit-
ing and inciting viewers than they are in
properly informing them. Sad! This is
hardly responsible journalism. They too
are part of the rush to judgement prob-
lem to which you rightly refer, a big part.

Time to do something
Editor,
Are our citizens asleep? It is time to
outrage at deplorable conditions of our
roads. El Camino Real (the royal high-
way, really?) is so full of dangerous pot-
holes and as a result, drivers veer this
way and that on this narrow roadway to
avoid the most obvious holes. Why do
we accept this? Id rather my money
went to road repairs than to replace my
motor mounts every so often. Citizens,
you can do something. Call Caltrans at
358-4127 and tell them of your motoring
experiences on El Camino. Maybe a few
more complaints will result in a better
and safer El Camino Real.

T
o drill or not to drill, Baby?
That is the question that is
launching a thousand heated
partisan debates early in this presiden-
tial campaign season.
Is drilling merely a catchy slogan, as
President Barack Obama has suggested
in recent campaign speeches? Or is it
an important piece of a national policy
with the potential to lead us to energy
independence and, eventually, to a sus-
tainable energy future? We have argued
consistently and strenuously that it is
the latter.
This situation provides an enormous
opportunity, if only our leaders,
Democratic and Republican together,
will see it and act decisively. That
opportunity is to dramatically expand
the domestic market for natural gas.
Doing so would also answer the pres-
idents protestations that more drilling
wont change high gasoline prices at
the pump. Yes, that is true.
But not so much if our fuel of choice,
for transportation in particular, becomes
natural gas.
Well grant that this is not an instant
x. But over the intermediate and long
term, shifting our eet vehicles, our 18-
wheelers, even our diesel-powered
freight locomotives to run on natural
gas, will pay dividends of price stabili-
ty.
If Obama is serious about an all of
the above energy policy, and we hope
he is, greatly expanding the use of natu-
ral gas as a transportation fuel is the
obvious place to start.
Domestic natural gas
A ticket to ride
I
n judging the affordable health care legislation, I believe
its important to look back and reexamine the veriable
facts.
1). Ours is one of the only among the advanced industrial
nations in the world that does
not have universal health cover-
age for all of its residents.
2). What we have been con-
tinuing to support is prot-based
insurance systems that ride
above and upon our health care
system determining what will or
will not be covered in reim-
bursements for services ren-
dered.
3). Financially successful
insurance companies operate on
underwriting principals that
gauge risk, and one of the
greatest risks is in booking those with preexisting medical
problems. Good business practices dictate that, as well as
knocking off of the books, if possible, those who have those
later come up with serious illnesses.
Thats wonderful and sensible in the world of business com-
petition but deadly for those in the real-time health care world
who cant slip in under the tent, either because they cant
afford or can afford but cant get covered. That leaves any-
where from 30 million to 50 million American residents
two-thirds of them children out of our health care system
that would not be true under universal coverage.
Thats unconscionable enough for many in our land to
demand that these residents not be left out in the cold,
exposed to serious illnesses or even death.
Yes! Of course, there are emergency rooms and forced serv-
ices in hospitals but someone has to pay for these and its usu-
ally the already insured or the taxpayers. Thats ignoring the
humiliation of those forced to resort to such charity.
Give some credit to President Obama, who was under enor-
mous pressure from his liberal base when the Democrats
controlled both houses of Congress and the White House to
pass some sort of universal health care. He resisted and chose,
instead, to preserve the prot-based insurance systems by leg-
islating only reform and assuring that by overriding and over-
seeing an industry which had already been riding upon the
health care system. Obama, of course, paid the price in the
polls from both the left and the right.
The industry, justiably, complained that under that legisla-
tion, an individual who had not been insured could wait until
he was in an ambulance on the way to the hospital to sign up
for coverage, having never before contributed into the pool
from which benets are drawn. To be fair for forcing more
insureds upon them, a mandate was added to the act for all to
be covered so that the pool would be expanded accordingly. In
other words, all would need to buy a ticket to ride on the
insurance worlds control of covered health care costs.
That set the attack mode for administration haters to get that
issue to the Supreme Court where that feature will, likely, be
called unconstitutional because of the makeup of the conser-
vative majority. And, that will certainly cause the entire struc-
ture of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to
crumble.
Remember you heard it here rst: Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell declared on March 27, if the act implodes,
the Republicans are not planning to do very much about the
uninsured. That sound you will be hearing is universal care
proponents jumping in the air and kicking their heels for two
reasons: More uninsured and their supporters are likely to join
unhappy women in voting against the Republicans in
November. And, with the mandate out, all that will be left to
save the uninsured is universal health care. If both houses of
Congress and the presidency are captured by the Democrats in
November, thats it. And, in no way could that be successfully
challenged as unconstitutional under the commerce clause of
the Constitution.
The upside of such a development would be, by eliminating
insurance companies with their 20 percent to 33 percent
administration fees and bringing them down near to the 3.5
percent administration of Medicare, the gross annual health
care call of 17.5 percent of the gross national product could be
reduced sharply to perhaps 13 percent. The downside is that
tens of thousands of jobs in the private sector could be lost.
A word to the wise: My view is that the conservatives have
shot themselves in the feet, again, in their hatred of a man
who is really a moderate. They should have let the administra-
tion compromise ride. And, as the current candidates for the
Republican nomination to run against the president are still
trailing him in the polls, they better let up on him in unde-
served criticism. Its getting really old and a 33 percent drop
in Rush Limbaughs audiences, which predates the Fluke inci-
dent, the 28 percent drop of Sean Hannity, the lasher-in-
chief of the president and the ring of wooly-brained Glenn
Beck from Fox News reects that new mood.

Rising consumer spending boosted
stocks on Friday, and Wall Street closed
its best rst quarter since 1998.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
66.22 points to close at 13,212.04. The
Standard & Poors 500 index rose 5.19
points to close at 1,408.47. The Nasdaq
composite barely moved, falling 3.79
points to close at 3,091.57.
For the quarter, the Dow posted an 8
percent gain and the S&P a 12 percent
gain, the best for those indexes in 14
years. The gain was 19 percent for the
Nasdaq, its best since 1991.
The Commerce Department said con-
sumer spending rose in February at the
fastest rate in seven months. Strong hir-
ing over the past three months has added
up to the best jobs growth in two years,
putting more people back to work.
Americans spent more even though
their income has stagnated for two
months after taxes and ination. Some of
the increased spending has gone to gaso-
line, which is the most expensive on
record for this time of year. Oil prices
rose again on Friday, up 23 cents in New
York to $103.02 per barrel.
Nine out of 10 industry groups in the
S&P 500 rose. The biggest-gaining cate-
gory was energy stocks, although ren-
ers fell because of the higher oil prices.
Health care stocks rose, too, with two of
the biggest gainers being health insurers
UnitedHealth Group Inc. and WellPoint
Inc. Technology stocks fell slightly.
Some of the buying could be driven by
end-of-the-quarter efforts by fund man-
agers to get into stocks now that they
have become popular again, said Jim
Russell, a regional investment director
for US Bank Wealth Management. And
individual investors who have been rely-
ing on bonds appear to be getting back
into the market, too, he said.
We are very heartened to see the
retail investor stop playing one key on
the piano that is, all bonds, all the
time, he said.
Apple fell 1.7 percent after a company
that makes its iPhones and iPads said it
would effectively raise per-hour wages
at its factories in China, suggesting that
manufacturing prices could rise.
Shares of BlackBerry maker Research
in Motion Ltd. rose 6.6 percent a day
after the Canadian company said it
would return to focusing on corporate
customers and shake up its management
to try to get prots growing again.

Big movers
By Bernard Condon
NEW YORK The bulls werent
bullish enough.
The stock market just had its best rst
quarter in 14 years. The surge has sent
Wall Street analysts, some of whose
forecasts seemed too sunny three months
ago, scrambling to raise their estimates
for the year.
That its up isnt surprising. Its the
magnitude, says Robert Doll, the chief
equity investment manager at
BlackRock, the worlds biggest money
manager.
Doll says stocks could rise 10 percent
more before the end of the year. That
would be enough to push the Dow Jones
industrial average to an all-time high and
the Standard & Poors 500 close to a
record.
For the rst three months of the year,
the Dow was up 8 percent and the S&P
12 percent, in each case the best start
since the great bull market of the 1990s.
The Nasdaq composite index, made up
of technology stocks, has had an even
more remarkable run up 19 percent
for the year, its best start since 1991.
I dont think anyone could have pre-
dicted this, says Chip Cobb, a senior
vice president at Bryn Mawr Trust Asset
Management. For these gains, he says,
I thought it would take all year.
The jump gives money managers like
Cobb hope that ordinary folks burned by
two deep bear markets in a decade will
start buying again, propelling the index-
es even higher.
In a remarkable act of self-restraint
or foolishness, depending on your view
they have mostly stayed out of the
market. One reason they may jump in
now is that fear of looming disasters,
like a full-blown debt crisis in Europe or
a second recession in the United States,
has faded.
Bulls say investors will turn their
attention to the only thing that really
matters for stock prices in the long run
corporate prots.
Another hopeful sign for gains is that
those who have been buying stocks
appear to be taking bigger risks than
before, suggesting growing condence.
Last year, investors put much of their
money into so-called defensive stocks,
such as utilities and health care compa-
nies, which make money in bad times as
well as good. This year, its the risky fare
thats being scooped up.
Financial stocks are up 22 percent, the
best among the 10 industry groups with-
in the S&P. Technology companies are
up 21 percent. Consumer discretionary
stocks, like hotels and cable companies,
are up 16 percent.
Utilities are down 3 percent for the
quarter, the only group in the red.
Standard & Poors Capital IQ, a
research rm, predicted at the beginning
of the year that the S&P would hit 1,400
by the end of the year. By March 15, it
had hit 1,403, and on Friday it was at
1,408.
We were originally accused of being
too optimistic, says Sam Stovall, chief
equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ. It
doesnt mean we cant have a 10 percent
correction, but its unlikely we will.
For stocks, a stable and impressive climb
By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON U.S. consumers
boosted their spending in February by
the most in seven months, raising expec-
tations for stronger growth at the start of
the year.
Americans spent more even as their
income barely grew. To make up the dif-
ference, many cut back on saving.
Consumer spending rose 0.8 percent
last month, the Commerce Department
said Friday. The biggest increase since
July coincided with the best three-month
hiring stretch in two years.
Paul Dales, an economist at Capital
Economics, suggested that estimated
annual growth for the economy in the
current January-March quarter may be
revised up to around 2.5 percent,
compared with earlier estimates of about
2 percent. Consumer spending drives
roughly 70 percent of economic activity.
Some of the higher spending last
month reected surging gas prices. But
consumers spent more on other goods
and services, too. After excluding ina-
tion, which was due mainly to gas
prices, spending rose a solid 0.5 percent.
The jump in consumer spending
helped Wall Street extend its best start
since 1998. The Dow Jones industrial
average rose 77 points in afternoon trad-
ing. Broader indexes also gained.
Still, the job gains are not resulting in
bigger paychecks for most Americans.
Income grew just 0.2 percent last month,
matching Januarys weak increase. And
when taking inflation into account,
income after taxes fell for a second
straight month.
Most consumers spent more of what
they earned and saved less. The saving
rate dropped to 3.7 percent of after-tax
income in February. That was the lowest
level since August 2009. It had averaged
4.7 percent for all of last year.
Micron, Oracle settle
lawsuit over chip prices
BOISE, Idaho Micron Technology
Inc. has settled a lawsuit in which Oracle
Corp. accused the Idaho memory chip-
maker and other companies of articially
inating prices for microchips.
The 2010 lawsuit claimed that Micron
and the other companies conspired to raise
prices from 1998 through 2002, in viola-
tion of federal and state antitrust laws.
Micron makes semiconductor chips for
computers, mobile devices, cameras and
other devices. It makes products under the
Lexar and Crucial brands.
Micron announced the settlement late
Thursday without providing details such
as nancial terms.
Oracle had accused Micron and four
other companies of articially inating
prices above what Oracles Sun
Microsystems business should have paid
for them. The lawsuit that was settled did
not name the other companies as defen-
dants.
The Justice Department had investigat-
ed whether the companies conspired to
manipulate the number of DRAM chips
released to market to inate prices.
Micron was granted immunity because it
cooperated. The investigation resulted in
nes and guilty pleas from four compa-
nies Samsung Electronics Co., Elpida
Memory Inc., Inneon Technologies AG
and Hynix Semiconductor Inc.

The College of San Mateo softball team has
not seen a game of Saturdays magnitude in
quite some time.
For the last nine years, Ohlone College has
owned the Coast Conference and has been the
Bulldogs main nemesis.
But Saturday, as a make-up game from ear-
lier this season, CSM walks onto the East Bay
campus with a chance to put a chokehold on
the rst outright division title in the Nicole
Borg era.
I think every game is the Game of the Year
at this point, Borg said. Its our rival, its
Ohlone, so it always get your blood owing a
little more when youre playing them, just
because were always the rst- and second-
place teams.
But in all honesty, we always stayed
focused, just taking it one game at a time.
Were not so much focusing on the name on
the other shirts, but more what we have to do
to beat their strengths and really capitalize on
their weaknesses. I think weve done a pretty
job of that so far.
The Bulldogs currently sit 1.5 games ahead
of the Renegades in the Coast Conference
North Division with eight games remaining
on the schedule two against the reigning
champions with the latter played on the CSM
campus.
CSM has had relatively no problems against
the North division this season. Theyre 9-1,
but they have yet to play the Renegades who
are the gold standard.
As long as we play our best, I think were
going to come out on top, Borg said. We
were the co-conference champs with them in
2005 and 2007 but since then, theyve won it
outright. So, for four years weve been second
place, thats kind of how we look at it. Its
always been a real tight run, its not like
theyve blown us out of the water. Its been
one game, one run. So, I think we have all the
tools necessary to overcome that this year, I
really, really do. And I have a great group.
They just dont like to lose.

Burlingames Charlotte Pratt, left, gets off a shot during the Panthers 16-12 win over
Menlo-Atherton Friday afternoon.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
To use basketball analogies, the Burlingame
girls lacrosse team is a methodical team that
likes to set up in the half court and work the
ball around until nding a good shot. The
Menlo-Atherton team, on the other hand, is a
fast-breaking squad that looks to get out and
run at every opportunity.
The Bears had their running game working
to near perfection for a half, but ultimately, the
Panthers slowed them down in the second half
and came away with a 16-12 win Friday after-
noon in Atherton.
M-A was killing us on the fastbreak, said
Burlingame coach Tara Pratt. On the fast-
breaks, we were watching the ball and they
took advantage.
We made a couple adjustments.
The main adjustment was a simple one
maintain defense on each M-A player. It
worked as the Bears were limited to just two
goals in the second half after scoring nine in
the opening 25 minutes.
Burlingame, meanwhile, became the
aggressor offensively in the second half, con-
sistently attacking the goal and drawing penal-
ty shots following M-A fouls. Of the Panthers
seven second-half goals, four came on penalty
shots.
Thats what Ive been telling them: drive to
the goal. You never know what will happen,
Pratt said.
It also helps to have a player of the caliber
of Pratts daughter, Charlotte Pratt. The senior,
who has secured a water polo scholarship to
UCLA, scored eight times for the Panthers,
oftentimes going up double and triple teams to
do so.
She showed off her abilities early in the sec-
ond half when she had the ball at the top of
offensive zone and bided her time. She nally
initiated a run at goal and buried her shot to tie
the game at 10.
After Bridget Magaa-Sandoval scored her
second goal of the second half to give M-A an
11-10 lead, the Panthers scored six answered
goals to take a commanding lead. The Bears

NEW ORLEANS Welcome to The
Other Game at the Final Four.
OK, so, the Ohio State-Kansas matchup
may not have the fantastic freshmen, the out-
spoken coaches or blood-feud story line of the
opening semifinal between Kentucky and
Louisville. But this one still should be worth a
two-hour investment in
front of the TV set
Saturday night.
Besides the chance to
watch two top-line teams
play for a spot in the
national title game, the
Buckeyes-Jayhawks game
offers a rare opportunity to
see two All-Americans
going at it with everything
on the line.
Ohio State is led by
Jared Sullinger, the sopho-
more forward who missed
the rst matchup between
these teams with a bad
back. Kansas best player
is Thomas Robinson, who
had 21 points and seven
rebounds in the Jayhawks 78-67 win on Dec.
10.
In my eyes, hes the college player of the
year, Sullinger said of Robinson. I know
some think different. But with his season, the
way he took his team to the top, youve just
got to give it to him.
In fact, its Kentuckys Anthony Davis who

The stars are aligning. Phil Mickelson won
at Pebble Beach, and Rory McIlroy reached
No. 1 in the world. And, of course, there was
Tiger Woods in Sunday red, a winner again at
last on the PGA Tour.
Its Masters time.
But even as the azaleas start to bloom, a
thorny issue has returned the all-male
membership at Augusta National Golf Club
thanks to another achievement that took place
far away from the fairways and greens.
Virginia Rometty ofcially took over Jan. 1 as
CEO of IBM, the first
woman to be chief execu-
tive in the 100-year history
of Big Blue.
IBM is a longtime cor-
porate sponsor of the
Masters, and its last four
CEOs have been invited to
be members.
Next in line, though, is a
woman.
For Martha Burk, who
led an unsuccessful cam-
paign 10 years ago for Augusta to admit a
female member, the solution is simple.
What IBM needs to do is draw a line in the
sand Were either going to pull our spon-
sorship and membership and any ancillary
activities we support with the tournament, or
the club is going to have to honor our CEO the
way they have in the past, Burke said in a
telephone interview.
Theres no papering over it, she said.
They just need to step up and do the right
thing.
Club ofcials have declined comment, cit-
ing its policy that membership issues are pri-
vate. At least there has been no mention of a
bayonet, the term used by former chairman
Hootie Johnson that ignited this debate in the
summer of 2002.
IBM has not returned phone calls seeking
comment.
It would seem that something has to give
the clubs recent history asking IBM chief
executives to become members, or its history

innings over El Camino to run their Peninsula
Athletic League record to 3-0.
Kielty pitched three innings, allowing only
two hits, walking one and hitting a batter.
She was pulled for innings four and ve for
Gina Rodriguez, who was just as good if
not better with a no-hit stint of relief.
The Sequoia offense was steady, scoring
three in the rst, one in the second, another in
the third, three more in the fourth and putting
up a ve-spot in the fth.

the cycle. Wilkes had a double.
Alaina Woo had a hit, a triple.
Makayla Genardini, Jackie Hutchison and
Claire Casey had two-hit games for Sequoia.
Kielty is now 3-0 in PAL play.

For the second consecutive Friday, the Oaks
walked off with a dramatic victory, capping off
a doubleheader with a 3-2 extra inning win to
complete a twin-bill sweep against La Sierra.
With two out and the winning run at second
in the bottom of the 11th, Jonathan Ochoa
smashed a double up against the wall in left,
plating Kaimi Haina to give Menlo the win.
Lights out pitching produced a 5-1 victory
in the opening game of the double dip, push-
ing the Oaks overall record to 15-19.
The Oaks have now won ve games in a row
and seven of their last eight.
In Game 1, Menlos duo of Joey Webb and

Webb earned his third win of the season and
remained perfect on the year with ve innings
of seven-hit ball, while Jensen recorded his
rst save of the campaign with four perfect
innings.
In Game 2, the Oaks were led by some ter-
rific relief pitching courtesy of Derek
Rodrigues.
The sophomore tossed six shutout innings,
allowing just three hits to pick up his third win
of the season.
High school baseball
While most local schools will be on their
Spring Break on Monday, Aragon and
Hillsdale will host a local tournament, starting
on Saturday (weather permitting), to keep
their arms and bats sharp.
On Saturday, Hillsdale is scheduled to face
San Mateo while Aragon battles Terra Nova.
Mills joins the fray on Monday with a game
against the Bay Division-leading Knights. San
Mateo and Aragon will play each other in the
nightcap.
Games between the teams are scheduled all
the way through Thursday at noon and 3 p.m.
Aragon manager Lenny Souza said that games
Friday are a possibility given the chance of
rain Saturday.
Hillsdale continues to play great baseball to
begin the season. Tied 3-3 in the top of the
seventh, the Knights scored two runs in their
half of the frame which held up for a 5-3 over
Carlmont. It was the Knights second win in a
week against the Scots. On Wednesday,
Hillsdale won 8-3.
Michael Sweeney went ve-plus innings in
a no decision effort. Robbie Folies came in for
innings six and seven for the win.
For us, we swung the bats really well at the
end of the game, said Hillsdale manager Neal
Donohoe. Its one of those things were every-
one is nding a way to contribute.
Eight of the nine Hillsdale starters got a hit
on Friday. And the one that didnt got on base
twice via the walk.
Thats how you win games, Donohoe
said.
Carlmont was held to ve hits. The Knights
talllied 10 knocks.
Hillsdale in now 3-1 in PAL Bay Division
play. Carlmont is 1-3.
Earlier in the week and in anticipation of the
potential rain, Menlo-Atherton took down
Capuchino 4-2.
Nick Langes picked up the win. Eddie
Cecchi got the loss the loss. Lucci Molina
homered for Capuchino.

Giants release Fontenot,
place Sanchez on DL
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. The San
Francisco Giants have released inelder Mike
Fontenot and placed second baseman Freddy
Sanchez on the 15-day disabled list along
with pitchers Ryan
Vogelsong, Eric Surkamp
and Dan Runzler.
San Franciscos moves
Friday for Sanchez,
Surkamp and Runzler are
retroactive to Monday,
while Vogelsongs move is
retroactive to Tuesday.
Vogelsong, who
emerged as an unlikely
All-Star last season when he joined the rota-
tion to ll in for injured lefty Barry Zito,
strained his back lifting weights last month
before arriving to spring training.
Sanchez had hoped to be ready for opening
day after undergoing labrum surgery on his
right shoulder last summer and missing the
rest of the 2011 season.
The lefty Surkamp has a strained exor ten-
don in his pitching elbow, while Runzler has a
strained lat muscle.
Livan Hernandez joins
Braves after Astros cut him

arrived at the Braves spring training complex,
about 15 miles away.
Hernandez is the active

Hernandez is a two-time
All Star and helped
Florida win the 1997
World Series. He also
spent time with San
Francisco, Montreal, Arizona, Minnesota,

Hernandez has a career record of 174-176
with a 4.39 ERA.

DENVER The rust-colored

serves as both a welcome and a
warning for players when they step
off the team bus.
The greeting part Pepsi

registers. But the other portion of
the message is designed to catch
your attention, maybe even making
the pulse race a little bit more: ... to
the Mile High City. Elevation 5,280

womens Final Four really is up in
the air, the higher altitude shouldnt
bother Baylor, Stanford, Notre
Dame or Connecticut on the court
over the weekend.
That searing sensation in the
lungs after a few trips up and down
the oor? Think of it as imaginary.
The difculty of taking a deep
breath before a crucial free throw
late in the game? Again, just a g-
ment.
Or so research indicates from
high altitude performance techni-
cians, who say proper hydration and
nutrition are almost bigger obstacles
in thin air than the altitude itself.
If one team is really hung up on
elevation Oh my gosh, were at
altitude! and loses it mentally,
the opposing team who keeps it
together mentally can use altitude as
a sixth man, said Scott Drum, asso-
ciate professor of exercise and sport
science and director of a high alti-
tude performance lab at Western
State College of Colorado in
Gunnison, where the elevation is
7,700 feet. But if they come in and
believe in their skills and their
readiness, they should be ne. It
should not affect their game.
Getting players to buy into that
concept, though, is a little more
tricky. Because feeling the burn in
the lungs is believing.
It denitely is a real thing, said
Irish senior guard Natalie Novosel,
whose team faces Big East rival
Connecticut on Sunday. Honestly,
at that point, were going to have to
suck it up and play through it
because its the biggest stage and
we cant let climate and altitude get
in the way.
UConn coach Geno Auriemma
thought he had a solution to the alti-
tude situation, only to have his idea
quickly quashed by the team doctor.
I suggested turning the oxygen
off in the plane on the way over
there for about an hour and get them
used to sucking for breath,
Auriemma said. But he advised us
not to do that.
So, I guess well have to deal
with it when we get there.
And hopefully not this:
headaches, nausea, dizziness and
lethargy. Those are all symptoms of
acute mountain sickness. But dont
worry, Drum insisted, those signs
typically only manifest at 8,000 feet
and above.
Typically.
If players eat on a regular sched-
ule and drink water, theyll be ne,
Drum said. They need to deliber-
ately stay well fed and hydrated.
That could be the secret to reach-
ing college basketballs mountain
top come Tuesday nights title
game.
Oh, and minimize distractions.
No sightseeing excursions since a
well-rested team could be the differ-
ence in the championship game.
Everybody is on the same level
playing eld, Drum said. Theyre
all well trained already, but nobody
is well acclimated.
For Baylor coach Kim Mulkey,
the altitude presents a different
predicament. She was recently diag-
nosed with Bells palsy, a form of
facial paralysis.
We have medicine in the doctors
hands, because I am concerned
about the inner ear and the altitude
for myself, said Mulkey, whose
team is 38-0 heading into the game
Sunday against Stanford. Now, for
the team, Ive had them visit with
our strength and conditioning coach
and (the trainer) on hydration, drink
a lot of water prior to going.
Each team is making a pretty dra-
matic leap up in elevation.
Notre Dame boasts the highest
campus of the four at around 725
feet above sea level. Connecticut
(600 feet) and Baylor (470 feet)
arent too far behind, while Stanford
(23 feet) is hardly more than three

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

took player of the year awards from The
Associated Press and college basketball writ-
ers Friday. But while Davis is a story of an
ultra-talented freshman trying to lead his team
to a championship in what likely will be his
only year with the Wildcats, Sullinger and
Robinson approach college in a different way.
At one point last season, Sullinger was
viewed as a surere lottery pick, a one-and-
done prospect with nothing much left to prove
in college. He never saw it that way, however,
and when Ohio State was eliminated from last
years tournament as a No. 1 seed, the 6-foot-
9 forward committed to staying in college.
I wanted to make a statement, that not
everybody is using college basketball as a pit
stop to go the next level, he said. That theres
more than money and endorsements. Theres
championships that youve got to win at every
level. Thats what I pride myself on. Ive won
a championship all the way from elementary to
now. I pride myself on winning. Thats the
biggest thing. Thats why I came back.
Pride, was also one of the rst words
Robinson used when asked about his decision
to return for his junior year.
He spent most of his rst two seasons play-
ing limited minutes behind the Morris twins,
Markieff and Marcus. NBA scouts were telling
Robinson he could be a rst-round draft pick if
he left.
It was a pride issue, Robinson said. I did-
nt want people to guess and be like, I think he
can play. Weve seen glimpses. I wanted to
come back and prove to everybody that Im a
good player.
He did. Widely viewed in the preseason as a
player who might nudge his way onto some
All-America lists, Robinson outperformed the
predictions. He averages 17.7 points and 11.8
rebounds a game and is learning the difference
between coming off the bench as a role player
and leading a team.
Guys can be prepared to get a check, but
Im not sure theyre all prepared to make a liv-
ing, Kansas coach Bill Self said. Thomas
wasnt prepared to make a living. I mean, lets
call it like it is. He never had to carry the water.
To me, it wasnt a hard decision. He needed to
show everybody and himself that he was a guy
who could make plays to impact a game.
While Kentucky coach John Calipari, never
one for understatement, said he thinks Game 1
will be played in the 90s, Las Vegas oddsmak-
ers disagree. The over-under for Louisville-
Kentucky is the exact same as it is for Ohio
State-Kansas: 136.5. The Buckeyes are 2.5-
point favorites over Kansas a sign of how
big a difference Sullinger and a neutral court
mean in the eyes of the experts.
Of course, both teams have changed consid-
erably over the past three months.
Guys were still nding their own way.
Guys were trying to dene their own role to
the coaching staff, Ohio State coach Thad
Matta said of the December meeting.

Continued from page 11
NCAA
By Nancy Armour
NEW ORLEANS Kentucky coach John
Calipari likes to say there are no rivalry games
at this point in the season.
Try telling that to the Bluegrass State, where
basketballs version of the civil war
Kentucky vs. Louisville, winner plays for the
NCAA title has so divided the small state
that senior citizens have actually come to
sticuffs.
The fans take it as, whoever loses, its their
funeral, really, Louisville senior guard Chris
Smith said. Its really cut-throat, I would say.
The game Saturday is the fth time top-
seeded Kentucky (36-2) and fourth-seeded
Louisville (30-9) have met in the NCAA tour-
nament. They split the previous four meetings.
Basketball purists may argue Duke-North
Carolina or Kansas-Missouri are the games
biggest, most intense rivalries. But those are
like quaint tea parties compared with the ani-
mosity between Kentucky and Louisville,
which required government intervention to get
them to schedule each other.
No, think Auburn-Alabama on the hard-
court, and you get the idea.
We get along with most of them, Kentucky
fan Pat Stahl said of Louisville fans, as long
as they dont talk to you.
Or, heaven forbid, say something at a dialy-
sis appointment. A 71-year-old Louisville fan
punched a 68-year-old Kentucky fan earlier
this week after their discussion over Saturday
nights game got out of hand.
To be fair, police say the Kentucky fan did
ip off the Louisville fan.
It all started with the racial lines in
Kentucky, Louisville coach Rick Pitino said
of the rivalry. Now (its) no longer racially
motivated. Its just pure hatred.
Its a given that Louisville and Kentucky
would be rivals, their campuses a mere 70
miles apart in a state where basketball is king.
To hear fans of both schools tell it, however,
the programs might as well be on different
planets.
Kentucky is a college basketball blue blood,
its seven national titles second only to UCLA,
while Louisville has a nice little tradition
going with two national titles.
Kentucky is the bigger school, and its cam-
pus is set in bucolic hill country. Louisville
sprawls over several city blocks, smoke from a
soy processing plant billowing overhead and
railroad tracks cutting through the center of
campus. (If the Louisville lacrosse coach never
sees a train again after she retires, itll be too
soon.)
Big Blue counts most of the state among its
fan base, too, while Louisville isnt necessari-
ly even No. 1 in its own city.
In fact, about the only thing the two schools
have in common is Pitino, who led the
Wildcats to one national title and two other
Final Four appearances in eight years at
Kentucky.
Forget that engendering any warm-and-
fuzzy goodwill with the Kentucky folks, how-
ever. Now that Pitino isnt theirs, Kentucky
fans hate him, too.
Since we got Rick, (the rivalry) is more on
their part, Robert Coke said. Theyre used to
getting the cream of the crop and being top-
notch, so its hard when they see someone else
doing well.
Think its a coincidence that Kentucky sped
up its plans to renovate Rupp Arena after
Louisville decided to build the KFC Yum!
Center?
But the bad blood has been simmering for
generations.
Kentucky never scheduled in-state schools

RANCHO MIRAGE After tak-
ing one round off from her utter
domination of the LPGA Tour to get
rested and reinvigorated, Yani Tseng
is right back in her usual spot atop
the leaderboard.
The worlds top-ranked golfer shot
her second straight 68 at the Kraft
Nabisco Championship on Friday,
moving into a one-stroke lead over
Haeji Kang after the second round of
the seasons rst major.
Lindsey Wright (71) and Sun
Young Yoo (69) were third at 6
under, while Hall of Famer Se Ri Pak
was three strokes back in fth mid-
way through the only major she has
never won. Pak shot a 69 to move to
5 under, joined by Karin Sjodin and
World No. 2 Na Yeon Choi.
Yet everybody in the talent-packed
eld realizes theyre only chasing
Tseng, who has won the tours last
two tournaments.
Shes a force to be reckoned
with, said Australias Wright, who
shared the lead with Tseng for ve
holes. I think its great to have her
up there again, but its also great to
be able to challenge her and try to
give her a run for her money.
After nishing two strokes back
on Thursday, Tseng produced yet
another relentless round of long
drives and steady putting. The 23-
year-old Taiwanese star has led nine
of the LPGA Tours last 10 rounds,
and the ve-time major winner has
won three of ve tournaments this
year and six of 12 overall.
And she still had enough energy
after her stellar second round to play
a little pickup basketball.
You never get tired when you
want to win a tournament, Tseng
said. I just gured out Im tired
after the last two wins when you
come into this week, but after
(Thursday), I had a good sleep, and I
relaxed a few days, and I think Im
coming back with a fresh focus.
The rest of the eld should be wor-
ried when the Orlando Magic fan has
enough energy to hoop it up with her
manager and friends. After ghting
exhaustion during practice and in the
rst round Thursday, Tseng woke up
fresh to resume her quest to become
the youngest golfer to win six majors
three years younger than Tiger
Woods, who was 26 when he won
his sixth.
Tseng took control by exploiting
her distance advantage over nearly
everybody off the tee. After follow-
ing a long birdie putt on her fourth
hole with another birdie on her fth,
she birdied three of Mission Hills
four par-5s with soaring drives that
arent regularly matched by her fel-
low pros.
Pak stayed in contention with her
second straight solid round despite
playing through much of the
warmest weather after starting with
the nal tee time of the morning
group.
The 34-year-old Pak has won ve
majors, including three LPGA
Championships, and has 25 tour vic-
tories overall, but the former prodigy
and Korean golf pioneer has just one
victory on the LPGA Tour since July
2007. She shares many concerns
voiced by Wright on Thursday about
the importance of adding balance
and perspective to the grind of tour
life.
Im having trouble for ve or six
years, actually, Pak said. I still love
golf, and I cant quit it because I still
really want to play. It took a lot for
myself to be happy. It was difcult to
nd out. ... Slowly, I know Im get-
ting better and better, and my attitude
and everything is getting slowly bet-
ter. Starting last year around the fall,
I dont know how, (but) everything is
really calm for me.
Although Pak has four top-10 n-
ishes in the Kraft Nabisco, she has
never done better than ninth at
Mission Hills, failing to nish the
career grand slam.
This is one of my goals Ive set,
said Pak, who won four majors
before she turned 25. Getting into
the Hall of Fame, thats the biggest,
and next, trying to win a major like
this. This is the goal for me for 14,
15 years. This is the one I need, but
this is the one that always gives me a
hard time.
Kang birdied her nal hole in the
Palm Springs afternoon heat to con-
clude an eventful seven-birdie, three-
bogey round, moving to 7 under with
a 68. She has just two top-10 nish-
es in her four-year LPGA Tour
career.

The Renegades have some tools of their
own. Ohlone comes in with the second-best
pitching staff in the division, boasting a 2.63
team ERA (CSM is rst). They do lead the
division in shutouts with six.
More than likely (and weather permitting),
the Bulldogs will see Katy Bihl. In 12 starts
this season, Bihl has posted a 2.22 ERA. Shes
allowed 38 runs and 62 hits in 78 2-3 innings
this season, and has struck out 49.
They got some talent, Borg said. They
got good pitching, they have kids that can hit.
Were going to have to play our best to beat
them. Thats ultimately what it comes down
to. They have a lot of weapons. We just have
to know how to capitalize on their weakness-
es.
Offensively, the Renegades are hitting .378
as a team, good for rst in the North Division.
Theyre second in runs scored with 217 and
are rst with 301 total hits. Theyre a team
that likes to put pressure on defenses they
have 59 steals on the year (second in the divi-
sion behind Foothill College) and are rst in
sacrice plays with 49.
Kaley Marden leads the Ohlone offensive
attack. Shes hitting .506 for the season with
13 doubles and 23 RBI. Ohlones power
comes in the form of Lauren Ermitano, whos
hitting .424 with seven homers and 32 runs
batted in.
While a win on Saturday would be huge,
Borg was quick to caution against a potential
victory being the end-all of the season for her
Bulldogs.
Weve emphasized that every win is a huge
win, Borg said. We havent played our sea-
son up until now to come and beat Ohlone.
Its not like were going to be content after
whatever happens [on Saturday] if we do
come out on top. We still have seven games to
go and the girls understand that. There is no
rest. We have eight games to play to the best
of our ability to give us the best chance possi-
ble to place high for [the playoffs]. We want to
set a standard for where we want to be in gen-
eral at CSM.
CSM has nished second to Ohlone every
year since 2007 when they tied for rst with a
20-4 record. In 2011, the Bulldogs nished
one game out. In 2010, Ohlone took the divi-
sion by one game; 2009 by four; 2008 by
nine; 2006 by ve.
CSM
managed one last goal inside of two minutes,
but the Panthers basically ran out the clock to
secure the win.
It was a different paced game. Lacrosse is
a running game and were a running team,
said M-A co-coach Jessica Smith.
Added M-A co-coach Heather Titterton:
Sometimes you dont know why (a team gets
taken out of its game).
While Burlingame ended up pulling away
in the second half, the rst half was a back-
and-forth affair. M-A scored on nine of its rst
10 shots, but could not put any distance
between itself and Burlingame. The Panthers
took a 1-0 lead on a Polina Davidenko penal-
ty shot, but the Bears responded with back-to-
back goals from Sydney Novak-Federmeyer
and Emily Carlson, who nished with four
goals. Burlingame came right back with a
goal each from Davidenko, who nished with
four goals, and Pratt for a 3-2 lead.
Polina has come through in a phenomenal
way this season, Tara Pratt said. Shes
changed her game a lot.
The teams traded goals for much of the rest
of the half before the Bears got a little breath-
ing room. Heather Melendez put the Bears up
7-6 with 7:27 left in the half off a penalty shot
before Carlson netted back-to-back strikes to
put M-A up 9-6 with 6:31 left in the half.
Burlingame, however, nished the half with
a urry, tying the score at 9 at halftime. Tyler
Gindaux scored twice, sandwiched around a
Pratt penalty shot.
After the break, Burlingame took over.
I think they controlled the ball a little
more, Smith said.
LACROSSE
of never having a female member since it
opened in 1933.
To be clear, Augusta allows women to play
as guests during the eight months it is open
(October to May).
And the exclusivity of the club is limited in
practice. Johnson, during a 2002 interview
with The Associated Press, said Augusta
National holds four parties a year in which
only the members are allowed.
Still, these arent your ordinary business-
men. The members include Warren Buffett
and Bill Gates, CEOs from major insurance
companies, nancial rms and media compa-
nies, including Brian Roberts of Comcast,
which owns Golf Channel.
None are women.
What has become clear is that questions
about the way Augusta National does business
and whom it invites are sure to get as
much attention as the return of Woods or the
emergence of McIlroy.
Anticipation has shifted from whos going
to win the green jacket to whether a woman
will nally wear a green jacket.
One difference this time around is that Burk
can put a face on the controversy, even though
Rometty has not said whether she is interest-
ed in becoming a member. In fact, Rometty is
said to be play golf sparingly. She is more pas-
sionate about scuba diving.
Fortune magazine listed her at No. 7 last
year in its annual ranking of the 50 Most
Powerful Women in Business. It was the sev-
enth consecutive year she has been on the list.
Augusta never talks about its members,
although they are seen in green jackets during
the tournament. Thats how it was discovered
that former Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Lynn
Swann was invited to join.
Johnson, and successor Billy Payne, made it
clear that there is no timetable for inviting a
woman to join, and if history is any indica-
tion, pressure from Burk or the media is not
going to change that.
Burk worries that Rometty might feel pres-
sure to avoid the all-male club, and says thats
a much the fault of IBM as Augusta National.
It does put IBM in a tough spot, but its all
their own making, Burk said Friday morning
on CNN. They have had nine years to help
this club come into the 21st century. Theyve
done nothing about it. Now, theyre both in a
bind.
I wouldnt put this on the CEO to do, she
said, referring to Rometty. It is the board of
directors responsibility. Samuel Palmissano,
who is a member of the club, has a great
responsibility here as chairman of IBM. And
they need to just step up and do the right thing
and get this

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders
agreed to a one-year deal with unrestricted
free agent Philip Wheeler on Friday to ll
their void at starting outside linebacker.
Wheeler visited the Raiders on Thursday
and agreed to the deal a day later, his agent
Todd France said. NFL Network rst reported
the agreement.
Wheeler played 13 games for Indianapolis
last season, making 80 tackles and recording
one sack. He played four seasons overall with
the Colts with 182 tackles and two sacks.
New general manager Reggie McKenzie
said earlier in the week that strongside line-
backer was one of the nal starting positions
that needed to be lled this offseason.
A hole was created there earlier this month
when the Raiders released Kamerion
Wimbley. Wheeler is not the pass rusher that
Wimbley is but is considered to be a better run
defender, which is a big need in Oakland.
The agreement came hours after the Raiders
lled another hole by acquiring backup run-
ning back Mike Goodson from Carolina for
offensive lineman Bruce Campbell.

NATION/WORLD 19

BRASILIA, Brazil A Brazilian
court decision that sex with a 12-year-
old does not necessarily constitute statu-
tory rape has caused outrage among
human rights activists in the country.
The Superior Court of Justice ruled
this week that a man accused of having
sex with three 12-year-olds couldnt be
convicted of rape because of extenuating
circumstances, including the fact the
girls had previously worked as prosti-
tutes.
Amnesty International on Friday
blasted the verdict by the appeals court
as outrageous and called it an affront
to the most basic human rights.
This shocking ruling effectively gives
a green light to rapists and if it prevails
could dissuade other survivors of sexual
abuse from reporting these crimes, the
head of the groups Brazil branch, Atila
Roque, said in a statement.
Brazils human rights minister, Maria
do Rosario Nunes, said the verdict
would in practice spell impunity, and
she pledged to try to get it overturned.
The courts president, Ari Pargendler,
has said the court is open to revising the
decision
Brazilian law forbids sex with anyone
under the age of 14, but that law was
adopted in 2009. The court said the fact
that the alleged crime occurred in 2002
was another extenuating circumstance
and upheld the rulings of lower courts in
Sao Paulo.
It is of extreme concern that the pro-
tections provided by Brazils legislation
in cases such as these have not been
implemented, said the Amnesty
International statement.

This shocking ruling effectively gives a

Japan eases limits in nuke no-go zone for first time
TOKYO Japan is letting up to 16,000 people back into their
homes around its leaking nuclear power plant, easing restrictions
in the no-go zone for the rst time since last years disasters.
They wont be allowed to stay overnight, some must wear pro-
tective gear, and its unclear how many will return at all, but the
step is crucial to permanently resettling towns vacated since the
the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami devastated the
Fukushima Dai-ichi plant and caused meltdowns in three of its
reactors.
A 20-kilometer (12-mile) zone around the plant has been off-
limits to about 100,000 residents for more than a year because of
radiation contamination. But the plant was declared stable in
December, with leaks substantially subsiding, and that let of-
cials focus on how to clean up the contamination and allow some
people to return.
On Friday, the government said it was rearranging the evacua-
tion zone based on three categories of contamination, rather than
by distance. The strict perimeter was long criticized as an inexact
measure of safety, as radiation levels varied widely in the area
and some hotspots existed outside the area.
The change affects three of the 11 municipalities inside the for-
mer evacuation zone.
The reorganization would be the foundation for the recon-
struction of the affected towns. We will thoroughly discuss
how we can best accommodate their needs, said Economy and
Trade Minister Yukio Edano, who announced the step late
Friday.
Syria clashes, protests complicate peace mission
BEIRUT Clashes and protests broke out across many parts
of Syria Friday, further complicating a peace mission by U.N.
envoy Ko Annan who urged the government to lay down its
weapons rst to immediately end the countrys yearlong crisis.
As angry protesters lamented inaction by Arab countries, U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tried to work out how to help
the opposition in talks with Saudi Arabia, the biggest advocate
for arming the rebels against President Bashar Assad.
Her visit comes ahead of a 60-nation weekend gathering of the
so-called Friends of the Syrian People in Istanbul. The meeting
is an effort to nd ways to aid Syrias fractured opposition, which
has been frustrated by the governments military gains on the
ground. The U.S. is seeking to unify Syrias opposition move-
ment and nd ways to further isolate Assads regime.
Assad accepted a peace plan brokered by Annan earlier this
week and promised Thursday to spare no effort to make sure it
succeeds. But he demanded that armed forces battling his regime
commit to halting violence as well.
Underscoring the challenges, activists reported shifting clash-
es, some close to the capital Damascus, and others in the north-
ern Idlib province, the restive central province of Homs and the
countrys east. The reported death toll ranged from 34 to 42.
Workers restoring Russian mansion find treasure
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia For years, kopek-pinching
Soviets sat down in a cheap restaurant in a former mansion of the
nobility for plain meals, unaware of the treasure secreted nearby.
Workers restoring the building this week nally found it, unex-
pectedly, in a storage space hidden between two oors more
than 1,000 pieces of jewelry, silver service sets stamped with the
name of one of Russias most prominent noble families, mirrors
and brushes in silver frames. Many of them were wrapped in
newspapers dated from the early months of 1917, as Russia
careened toward the Bolshevik Revolution that ended life as the
nobles had known it.
Fridays announcement of the nd by the Intarsia company,
which is performing the restoration work, excited the news media
and sparked arguments over who can claim the valuables. The
nd is so new that experts havent had time to inspect the goods
and estimate their value.
The treasure tale touches on two of Russias most renowned
and romantic gures: Peter the Great and Alexander Pushkin.

I
cannot exactly imagine what life is like
for a columnist who focuses solely on
the college admissions process. I mean
no disrespect to the peo-
ple who hold such posi-
tions; by all means, I
have read many columns
on the college admissions
process in my lifetime.
But now, as college
admissions letters have
nally rolled in, I am
starting to feel a sense of
underwhelming acceptance on the subject of
college admissions.
I have heard the stories about the good stu-
dent who unfortunately was rejected from
even his or her safeties. I have heard the sto-
ries about the miracle child who success-
fully gained admission at a high-reach
school. I have heard the snide comments
about sob stories and legacy and afrmative
action. And, I have heard the shouts of joy
and congratulations.
But after all the hubbub, I am only left
wondering: What is at the center of all the
craze about college admissions? Today, get-
ting into college has become a full-blown
business. There are private college advisors
available to help students make decisions
which look good on the college resume.
There are SAT classes, ACT classes, college
essay classes and more. There are books ded-
icated to publishing to the masses the
secrets of getting into any top university.
There are books detailing what goes on
behind the closed doors of the admissions
ofce. There are books exemplifying the best
essays of the top students in the nation. The
list goes on.
Of course, following the path to post-sec-
ondary education is important to many stu-
dents. College is supposed to be the pathway
to highly qualied jobs. But college is not by
any means an end.
Perhaps the craze over college is a matter
of parents wanting the best for their children.
After all, it is one of the last decisions many
parents make with their children while under
the same roof. At the same time, however, the
decision of where to go to college or whether

Julia Roberts chews up the scenery and spits
it back out again with great brio in her rst
truly villainous role as the evil Queen in
Mirror Mirror.
And oh, what scenery it is. After all, this is
a lm from Tarsem Singh, director of such
spectacular spectaculars as the trippy The
Cell and last years dreary Immortals.
Basically, the scenery IS the movie and the
costumes, of course, from the late Eiko
Ishioka. They dominate every moment of this
cheeky, heavily tweaked version of Snow
White, but at least theyre a marvel to watch.
Theyd better be, because the dialogue and
the action are, for the most part, rather dull
and weirdly devoid of energy.
This anachronistic, genre-hopping fairy tale
I swear, theres a George of the Jungle
joke at one point comes from screenwriters
Marc Klein and Jason Keller from a story by
Melisa Wallack. It begins with the beautiful,
innocent Snow White (Lily Collins, daughter
of Phil), whos just turned 18, trapped in her
bedroom in a castle perched high on a precip-
itous cliff. Her father, the King (Sean Bean),
set off into the woods one day long ago and is
presumed dead; her stepmother, the Queen,
has taken over the kingdom and tyrannically
transformed a place that was once merry into
a wasteland of poverty and strife.
The Queens right-hand man is the butt-
kissing Brighton (Nathan Lane), who keeps
trying to tell her shes broke, but she wont lis-
ten. All she cares about is her status as the
fairest of them all, which she reinforces by
visiting a mirror housed in a thatched hut hid-
den dramatically in the middle of a dark, iso-
lated lake. (That Tarsem is an imaginative
dude, we cannot deny that.)
But fortunately, into her kingdom comes the
young, gorgeous, single and (more important-
ly) wealthy Prince Alcott (Armie Hammer in a
perfect bit of casting; he seems game to make
fun of his all-American good looks). The

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
TONY AWARD-WINNER JONATHAN
PRYCE IN HAROLD PINTERS THE
CARETAKER AT THE CURRAN THE-
ATRE. A mentally challenged man brings
an elderly tramp home to his attic room in a
run-down house controlled by his sometimes
violent brother. The interactions of the three
expose their struggles and fears, alternating
between hilarity and terror. Pinter said of the
play, As far as I am concerned The
Caretaker IS funny, up to a point. Beyond
that point, it ceases to be funny, and it is
because of that point that I wrote it.
Jonathan Pryce, the two-time Tony Award-
winning actor (Comedians, Miss Saigon),
plays the enigmatic drifter Davies in this
new production, which first opened at the
Liverpool Everyman Theatre in October
2009 and then moved to Londons West End.
Alan Cox (Young Sherlock Holmes) as
Aston and Alex Hassell (Calendar Girls) as
Mick.
Two hours and 20 minutes with an inter-
mission. Directed by Christopher Morahan.
Through April 22.
TICKET INFORMATION:
Performances are Tuesday through
Saturday at 8 p.m. and Wednesday, Saturday
and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets on sale at (888)
746-1799 or at shnsf.com, the only author-
ized online seller of tickets for SHN
Theatres. Suitable for ages 13 and up. No
children under 5 allowed.
STAGE DIRECTIONS:
The Curran Theatre is located at 445
Geary St., San Francisco, two blocks from
Union Square. The Downtown Center
Garage at 325 Mason St. (at OFarrell
Street) is the closest parking lot. The BART
Powell/Market Street station is three blocks
away.
OH, AND DID YOU KNOW?:
The real-world origins of The Caretaker
lie in Pinters acquaintance with two broth-
ers who lived together, one of whom brought
an old tramp to the house for a brief stay. At
the time, Pinter himself had very little
money and so identified somewhat with the
tramp, with whom he occasionally spoke.
Pinter wrote 29 plays, including the
Caretaker, The Homecoming and Betrayal,
and 21 screenplays, including the French
Lieutenants Woman and Sleuth. Actor
Jonathan Pryce is known to movie audiences
as Governor Weatherby Swann in the Pirates
of the Caribbean series and as James Bond
villain Elliot Carver in Tomorrow Never
Dies.

PARTY LIKE ITS 1955. Could you
drop Wi-Fi for hi-fi? Abandon sushi lunches
for Tupperware parties? What would you
give up for a simpler life? In Maple and
Vine, at American Conservatory Theater, a
couple overwhelmed by the infinite choices
of the modern world discovers an enticing
escape route: joining a community of 1950s
re-enactors, where life is slower, passion is
risqu, and a sparkling cocktail is a daily
accessory. But in this provocative comedy,
retro attitudes about gender, race and sexu-
ality stir up powerful questions. How much
are you willing to sacrifice for happiness?
Through April 22 at the Geary Theatre, 415

WEEKEND JOURNAL
24
Queen tries to woo him with a lavish ball, but
the Prince only has eyes for Snow, whom hed
encountered briey in the forest earlier that day
when neither of them realized the other was,
you know, royal. (The wedding she plans for
him looks like something that could take place
in the Capitol of The Hunger Games, with its
foppish guests dressed in garishly colorful,
over-the-top costumes and makeup.)
When the Queen tries to have Snow killed
out of jealousy, the young beauty escapes and
makes a new home with the Seven Dwarves,
who get actual back stories and some of the
lms funnier lines. None of them is named
Dopey or Doc, but they do give Snow a tough-
girl makeover, complete with the obligatory
training montage.
Collins has a lovely screen presence
shes got this young Audrey Hepburn thing
going but she lacks a certain oomph, even
after her character has learned to ght and
supposedly found her inner strength. Roberts
rules her at every turn, even when she ashes
that iconic smile in cruel fashion. She seems
to be reveling in playing a role thats such a
departure; that sense of joy only sporadically
nds its way to the rest of the lm.

MIRROR
to go to college does not determine success.
Going to college does not make a person
honest. Going to college does not guarantee a
six-gure salary. Going to college does not
make a person gain a higher level of spiritu-
ality. Going to college does not guarantee
much at all (other than, for most people, a
hefty tuition bill).
Ultimately, the success of a person lies
upon the person himself or herself and not
the institution which they attend. If success
is solely dependent on location, then the
entire idea of social mobility in America is
void.
If success is solely dependent on location,
then living in a neighborhood with poor pri-
mary and secondary schools would doom a
person to a poor college. Living in a neigh-
borhood with successful primary and second-
ary schools would allow access to a success-
ful college. Living in a neighborhood with
mediocre primary and secondary schools
would mean entry to a mediocre college.
College works in the same way. Attending
a less than prestigious college does not doom
a person to a bad career. Attending a presti-
gious college does not guarantee a person
riches.
Thus, I am now coming to realize that col-
lege is not an end. Perhaps the craze to get
into college was important for me in high
school, but I know that looking forward I
will have to work just as hard wherever I go.
There is no relief in getting into college for
me because I know that I will continue to
work hard wherever I go. And I welcome
that challenge.

By David Bauder
NEW YORK Five years ago, just off a
bout from cancer, Bob Schieffer was set to
retire from CBSs Face the Nation. That
never stuck, and now hes doubling his work-
load.
Starting Sunday, the public affairs program
expands to an hour. Vice President Joe Biden,
whom Schieffer interviewed Thursday in
Milwaukee, is the featured guest. Republican
presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and
Ron Paul are also booked.
With a presidential campaign under way,
its an attention-getting time for the Sunday
morning shows. The landscape changed
already this year when George
Stephanopoulos returned to the helm of
ABCs This Week in January.
Although the voluble Biden would seem the
perfect guest for a newly expanded show,
Schieffer said the move doesnt mean all
interviews will be twice as long. Rather, it
offers the show a better chance to react to the
news, have more guests and feature CBS cor-
respondents Norah ODonnell and John
Dickerson more.
I dont think youre ever going to see the
same kind of Face the Nation twice, said
Mary Hager, the shows executive producer.
Weve got a lot of exibility and were going
to take advantage of that exibility.
Shortly after Schieffer started as host two
decades ago, he said his competitor, the late
Tim Russert of Meet the Press, went to his
NBC bosses to urge that the show be expand-
ed to an hour. Give me three months, Russert
said, and if the ratings dont improve well go
back to a half-hour.
They never looked back, and Russert domi-
nated Sunday mornings until his death in
2008.
Tim was the best of the best, Schieffer
said. But the fact of the matter is what pro-
pelled them to No. 1 is they went to an hour
and they were the rst to do that. When they
did that, it left us in the dust.
Schieffer repeatedly nagged his bosses to
follow suit. He made the same speech when
Jeff Fager and David Rhodes took over last
year, not expecting much. When they gave the
go-ahead, Schieffer said, I nearly fainted.
(The approval has some strings attached.
Rhodes said it will be reviewed after 20 weeks
before it is made permanent.)
Ratings and election news gured in the
timing. Meet the Press, now with David
Gregory, averaged 3.24 million viewers dur-
ing the February ratings sweep. Face the
Nation was a close second with 3.08 million,
the Nielsen company said. This Week had
2.58 million and Fox News Sunday aver-
aged 1.12 million.
CBS expands Face the Nation to one hour on Sunday

By Christy Lemire
The documentary Bully is
essential to see, whether youre a
parent or a kid, whether youve
been on the giving or receiving
end of such increasingly pervasive
cruelty.
But its also frustrating to
watch, because while the stories
included here are undeniably
moving by nature, theyre not
exactly told in the most artful way,
rendering Bully far less emo-
tionally impactful than it might
have been.
Director Lee Hirschs film
grows repetitive and seems longer
than its relatively brief running
time. Tonally, it bounces with no
rhyme or reason between a hand-
ful of students across the country
whove suffered from bullying;
technically, it feels a bit messy,
with needless zooms and images
that fade in and out of focus.
Perhaps that was an intentional
aesthetic choice. Either way, its
distracting and headache-induc-
ing.
Still, if Bully does nothing
more than provide the impetus for
a dialogue, it achieves its purpose.
Hirsch spent a year with about a
half-dozen families with children
whove been bullied at school
teased, abused, humiliated and
ostracized behavior which
adults too often sweep aside with
the cliche that kids will be kids.
Among them are David and Tina
Long of Murray County, Ga.,
whose 17-year-old son, Tyler,
hanged himself. Tina bravely
shows the closet where the family
found him, in his bedroom since
turned into an office, and the death
has turned the Longs quiet subur-
ban life into a crusade for aware-
ness.
Among the movies other stories
is 12-year-old Alex, a scrawny kid
from Sioux City, Iowa. His parents
acknowledge hes a bit weird but
as his mom points out, hed be the
most devoted friend to anyone
who would accept him. Hirschs
camera captures Alexs grueling
daily school bus ride as big, mean
kids use him as their punching
bag. Alex has no idea how to stand
up for himself and no adults seem
capable of doing it for him (the
assistant principal of his middle
school comes off as especially
clueless and inept).
These moments are also the
ones that earned Bully a ridicu-
lous R-rating for language from
the Motion Picture Association of
America; The Weinstein Co. is
now releasing the film unrated.
In conservative Tuttle, Okla.,
16-year-old Kelby has been
shunned since she came out as a
lesbian, as have her parents. She
finds a small circle of friends who
accept her as she is, including a
girlfriend, and people who inspire
her to get out of bed every morn-
ing, but she feels discouraged
when she cant open up more
minds and hearts. Her parents
evolution on the subject is inspir-
ing to see.
These are just some of the sto-
ries Hirsch shares in Bully. Any
one of them might have served as
its own complete film. This is
especially true of a tale that comes
toward the end: that of Kirk and
Laura Smalley, whose 11-year-old
son, Ty, took his own life because
of bullying. These are admittedly
simple, small-town folks: avid
hunters and St. Louis Cardinals
fans with longtime family roots in
the area who are forced to reexam-
ine everything that defines them in
a teary haze. Kirks honesty and
purity of emotion are haunting,
and our time with this family is
tantalizingly brief.
As the mother of a 2-year-old
boy, Im glad Bully exists. As a
film critic, I wish it were more
accomplished.
Bully, a Weinstein Co.
release, is not rated but contains
some violence and disturbing situ-
ations involving kids and teens
and some language. Running time:
94 minutes. Two and a half stars
out of four.
Bully focuses on intolerable cruelty
If Bully does nothing more than provide the impetus for a dialogue, it achieves its purpose.

Twenty to thirty dollars wont hurt, said
Elvira Bakken of Las Vegas. I think it just
gives us a chance of maybe winning our
dream.
So what exactly would happen if the coun-
try spent that $1.5 billion on something other
than a distant dream?
For starters, it could cure the everyday wor-
ries of hundreds of thousands of American
families hit by the Great Recession. It costs an
average of $6,129 to feed the typical family
for a year meaning the cash spent on tick-
ets could ll up the plates of 238,000 house-
holds.
As gas prices climb faster than stations can
change the numbers on the signs, the money
spent on tickets could ll the tanks of 685,000
households annually.
Or it could play politics. So far in this cam-
paign, Republicans and President Barack
Obama have spent $348.5 million. The
amount spent on Mega Millions tickets could
cover that tab four times over.
Could the money dig governments out of
debt? Thats a problem that even staggering
ticket sales cant solve. It could trim this
years expected $1.3 trillion federal decit by
just over a tenth of 1 percent. In Illinois, the
money would disappear just as fast into that
states $8 billion decit.
On a personal level, that much money stag-
gers. Giving $1.46 billion to a broker could
purchase 2.4 million shares of Apple stock. (It
would also be enough to buy about 2.4 million
iPads at the starting price of $499. Thats
almost as many as the 3 million new iPads that
Apple has already sold.)
Or consider the whimsical: A family of up
to 12 could live for more than a century at
Musha Cay, magician David Copperelds
$37,000-a-night private island resort in the
Exuma Cays of the Caribbean.
For a more celestial vacation, the nearly
$1.5 billion wagered could purchase about
7,300 tourist tickets for a ride into space
aboard Virgin Galactics SpaceShipTwo. And
it would pay for 26 rides for U.S. astronauts to
the International Space Station aboard the
Russian Soyuz spacecraft.
It would even buy a stake in pop culture.
Want to inuence the next winner of American
Idol? If it costs a quarter to text in a vote to
Ryan Seacrest, and it takes 122 million votes
to win as it did last season, the money could
control the outcome of the next 47 seasons.
For the states that participate, the money
spent on lotto tickets is hardly a waste. It does-
nt all end up as the winners personal fortune
much of it is used by states to fund educa-
tion and other social service programs, which
is why advocates promote the lottery.
Though the specics vary among the 42 par-
ticipating states and the District of Columbia,
only about half of ticket sales go into the actu-
al jackpot. Another 35 percent goes to support
government services and programs, while the
rest funds lottery operating costs.
On Friday, the lottery estimated that total
ticket sales for this jackpot, which has been
building up since Jan. 28, will be about $1.46
billion, said Kelly Cripe, a spokeswoman for
the Texas Lottery Commission.
Youre about 20,000 times more likely to
die in a car crash than win the lottery, but that
doesnt matter to most people.
Part of it is hope. ... The average person
basically has no chance of making it really
big, and buying a lottery ticket is a way of
raising the ceiling on what could possibly hap-
pen to you, however unlikely it may be, said
George Loewenstein, a professor of econom-
ics and psychology at Carnegie Mellon
University who has studied how rich and poor
consumers make a choice to buy lottery tick-
ets.
The odds are much better that someone will
begin their weekend a winner. Aaron Abrams,
a mathematician at Emory University, said he
calculated that there was only a 6 percent
chance that no one would hold the winning
numbers.
Every time the jackpot gets higher, more
and more people buy tickets, which makes it
more and more likely that someone will win,
Abrams said. So the chance that it rolls over
this many times in a row is very small. Its
quite a rare event.
The estimated jackpot dwarfs the previous
$390 million record, which was split in 2007
by two winners who bought tickets in Georgia
and New Jersey.
The rarity of Fridays jackpot was fueling
the fervor. Lines formed at grocery stores, gas
stations, liquor stops and other venues across
the country.
In Arizona, a ca worker reported selling
$2,600 worth of tickets to one buyer. In
Indiana, hundreds lined up for a giveaway of
free tickets. Hundreds from Utah and Las
Vegas streamed in to neighboring California
or Arizona to buy tickets because their states
dont participate.
Accountant Ray Lousteau, who bought 55
Mega Millions tickets Friday in New Orleans,
knows buying that many tickets doesnt math-
ematically increase his odds, and that his $55
could have gone elsewhere. He spent it any-
way.
Mathematically, it doesnt make a differ-
ence, and intellectually we know that. But for
some reason buying more tickets makes you
feel more lucky, Lousteau said. Even people
who know better are apt to feel that way.
In Chicago, Peter Muiznieks bought a ticket
at a liquor store. He knows his chance of win-
ning is a long shot, and that the money the
country is spending on tickets could go else-
where. He still couldnt help himself, and
laughed as the apparent contradiction of his
opinion and his actions.
Lottery and games of chance are a stupidi-
ty tax and the more we all buy into this, the
less rational we are as a society, he said.
LOTTO
By John Carucci
NEW YORK Most people wouldnt
dare call chiseled WWE superstar John Cena
any names, let alone a bowl of Fruity
Pebbles.
But in the lead up to their WrestleMania 28
Once in a Lifetime match Sunday in
Miami, thats exactly what The Rock told
Cena he looked like.
Instead of getting upset, Cena said he
turned the situation around by contacting the
cereal maker, now hes on three million
boxes of the stuff.
While it was done in typical WWE trash-
talk fashion, Cena says the pressure can get to
you.
Im one of those guys that gets cheered,
but also gets booed. Those who dont like me,
severely dont like me, Cena told the
Associated Press on Friday. Usually your
rst instinct is to lash out at these people. ...
but I believe you always need to turn a nega-
tive into a positive.
Heavily involved in the Be-A-Star anti-bul-
lying campaign, Cena is not just a voice for
the cause, he also says he was a victim.
According the former WWE Heavyweight
champion, he was bullied as a kid because he
loved rap and wore hip-hop clothing in a town
where it wasnt popular. He started lifting
weights to protect himself.
By the time I was 15, I was a built kid, and
the comments didnt come so often, and the
people making fun of me sort of fell by the
wayside, Cena said.
While most of it was talk, Cena doesnt see
much of a difference when it comes to hurtful
remarks.
The introduction of social media pretty
much gives everyone a voice, but unfortu-
nately, people choose to use that voice in a
negative way, Cena said.
Cena wants young people to know that not
everyone is going to like you for who you are:
The best way to get back at them is to put a
smile on your face and do whatever you can
to succeed.
While hes in the business of physical con-
frontations and verbal assaults, he said insults
still affect you. He also wants victims to know
that, so Cena refuses to block anyone or edit
his Twitter account.
WWE star John Cena takes
a stand against bullying
SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 2012
ARIES (March 21-April 19)Keep your disagree-
ments with your mate or special someone to yourself
when out in public. You wont feel any better if you
let things ripin fact, you might fnd yourself being
frowned upon.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Be understanding, not
critical, when someone is trying to help you, even if
he or she is going about it all wrong. If the person
feels you dont appreciate the help, itll never be
offered again.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)If youre not careful,
extravagance could get the better of you, leaving you
with inadequate resources to acquire something that
you really need. Put necessity ahead of desire.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)Stick to matters that are
materially meaningful, which you are exceptionally good
at handling, and leave the social concernswhere you
could bombup to someone else.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Most limitations you experi-
ence will be the result of your own negative thinking
and/or behavior. If you want to succeed, you must
have an expansive, optimistic outlook.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Giving is a two-way
street. People will treat you kindly if youre equally
as generous with them as they are with youthat can
mean with your time as well as with your possessions.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)It might not be too smart
to request a business favor from someone you know
purely on a social basis. Once you cross that line, it
could chill the relationship.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)Unfortunately, thinking
and doing are not one and the same thing. You might
simply seek out accolades and endorsement, yet not
necessarily want to do anything to earn them.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)If youre not get-
ting the best results by using traditional techniques,
experiment with some new procedures. It may be
time for a change.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Forming an associa-
tion for the wrong reasons might drag you down
instead of making your position stronger. Make sure
any big move you make has a legitimate purpose.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)Before making any
impulsive promises to an old friend, you should think
twice. Your good intentions could go by the board
when you realize its an inconvenience.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)When taking on a job
or performing a service for another, be absolutely
certain you estimate the cost accurately. Any over-
sight will come out of your pocket, not the clients.

vacant retail space, or about 10 percent of the
total downtown supply of 406,975 square feet.
The city would still have to issue a use permit
allowing the ofce businesses for no more
than ve years.
The City Council will make the nal deci-
sion after the Planning Commission submits
its recommendation.
The city favors retail because it generates
more foot trafc than ofce uses, particularly
when clustered together. However, even ofce
space is better than empty space, according to
Acting Planning Manager Blake Lyon and
Downtown Development Coordinator Dan
Zack who are recommending the change.
Ground oor vacancies in the downtown
core have dropped from a high of 30 percent
in July 2010 to approximately 20 percent now.
Industry standards place the desirable range
between 5 percent and 10 percent, according
to the staff recommendation.
Although the current economy is cited as
causing the existing high vacancy rate in the
Broadway area, city staff conclude the prob-
lem is cyclical and will likely continue to pop
up. The precise plan change will keep store-
fronts lled until retail growth takes hold.
Along with the proposal to aid the vacancy
rate, the commissioners will also consider
tweaks to make the plan more exible for
creative solutions or unusual site con-
straints. Those changes include allowing
restricted-use businesses like massage, tan-
ning and bail bonds and nancial institutions
in the entertainment district and new bars into
downtown. Other proposals would clarify or
simplify language like those governing signs
and sidewalk width.
No further environmental impact reviews or
necessary for the changes because the pro-
posed amendments dont introduce any new
uses or increase the development capacity of
the downtown precise plan.
The city of San Mateo is also holding a
study session Monday on a similar issue. Its
study session will assess its current downtown
retail frontage requirement rst adopted in
1986 with its downtown plan. It was modied
in 2000 during the dot-com boom as a number
of ground-oor spaces were being converted
to ofces and the council passed an urgency
ordinance prohibiting ofces on the ground
oor. The modications were solidied in
2001 and were brought up again recently after
a tech company requested an expansion into a
ground-oor space.
The Redwood City Planning Commission
meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 3 at City Hall,
1017 Middleeld Road, Redwood City. The
San Mateo City Council meets 5:45 p.m.
Monday, April 2 at City Hall, 330 W. 20th
Ave., San Mateo.
OFFICES
Under the proposal, stations on Hillside
Drive in Burlingame and Crestview Drive in
Millbrae would be closed. A new station
would then be placed somewhere within the
three-mile distance between the two stations.
Six property options were put forward for
the possible location of the temporary station
with preference given to a three-acre Skyline
site with an estimated $800,000 cost. The
costs cover a temporary working station with
facilities to house equipment and reghters.
Burlingame and Hillsborough merged re
departments to form Central County Fire in
2004. Talk of expanding the shared services to
include Millbrae and San Bruno began in
2007.
Under the consolidation, the four-city
department would have a $25.1 million annu-
al budget with Central County Fire cities cov-
ering 50 percent, San Bruno contributing 30
percent and Millbrae contributing 20 percent.
Projected annual savings for each city ranges
from $95,000 to $595,000. For Millbrae and
Burlingame, estimated to save the most, clos-
ing stations accounts for the majority of the
savings.
At the same meeting, the council will hear
the annual report from the Broadway Avenue
Business Improvement District and consider
setting a public hearing on the 2012-13 pro-
posed levy.
The council meets 7 p.m. Monday, April 2 at
City Hall, 501 Primrose Road, Burlingame.
FIRE
Mavericks has a long history locally start-
ing in 1975 when Clark became the first to
ride a 15-foot Mavericks wave.
After 15 years of not sharing the big wave
spot, Clark got other California surfers to
give the spot a try. In 1992, the spot made
headlines. Richard Schmidt rode a 25-foot
wave at the time, the largest wave ridden
on the West Coast.
Hawaiian surfer Mark Foo was the first
death among the monstrous waves in 1994.
A female had not conquered the challenge
until Santa Cruz surfer Sarah Gerhardt took
it on in February 1999. Later that month, the
first surf contest was held at he spot. Darryl
Flea Virostko who will be on hand
Saturday won the $15,000 first prize the
initial year of the contest dubbed the Men
who ride mountains.
California surfers ruled the competition
until Feb. 7, 2006 when South African Grant
Twiggy Baker won.
The Mavericks Festival will be held from 9
a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, March 31 on the
outside grounds of the Oceano Hotel & Spa,
280 Capistrano Road in Princeton Harbor,
Half Moon Bay. Tickets are $35 at the door
and parking will be available for $10 at the
Half Moon Bay Airport. Proceeds from the
parking will support the Coastside Boys and
Girls Club.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark
The 17 countries that use the euro
have boosted their emergency fund-
ing for heavily indebted countries to
(euro) 800 billion ($1.1 trillion)
an amount that falls short of what the
currency unions international part-
ners had said is needed to calm nan-
cial markets.
Of the (euro) 800 billion limit
eurozone nance ministers agreed to
Friday, only some (euro) 500 billion
($670 billion) is still available for
new bailout loans. About (euro) 300
billion ($400 billion) in loans have
already been used to bail out Greece,
Ireland and Portugal.
The International Monetary Fund
and others have been calling for a
nancial rewall of more than
(euro) 1 trillion ($1.3 trillion) just
in case the much larger economies of
Spain and Italy need assistance. On
Friday, IMF managing director
Christine Lagarde congratulated
European leaders on their agree-
ment, but didnt say whether it went
far enough to guarantee additional
help from the IMF.
I welcome the decision of euro
area ministers to strengthen the
European rewall, Lagarde said in a
statement. The IMF has long
emphasized that enhanced European
and global rewalls, together with
the implementation of strong policy
frameworks, are critical for ending
the crisis and securing international
nancial stability.
Stock markets recovered some
ground Friday after sharp losses this
week. European stocks will end the
month higher and still above the lev-
els of last summer, when Europes
debt crisis ared up.
Germanys DAX closed 1.0 per-
cent higher at 6,946.83 while the
CAC-40 in France rose 1.3 percent
to 3,423.81 and Britains FTSE 100
gained 0.5 percent to 5,768.45.
Many economists fear that further
trouble in Europe could smother a
burgeoning economic recovery in
other parts of the world. Together,
Italy and Spain hold more than
(euro) 2.5 trillion in debt and a
default or even the serious threat
of a default could pummel banks
across Europe and spread panic on
global markets.
But putting up large amounts to
save some of its members is not an
easy task for the eurozone. Rich
countries such as Germany and
Finland face rising opposition
against bailouts among their voters,
while the nances of many other
states are already overstretched.
Even reaching the overall (euro)
800 billion capacity required a com-
plicated patchwork of several old
and new funds and loan programs.
Ministers struggled to add up old
commitments to reach a large gure
to impress markets, only to quickly
explain its components to calm down
voters worried about their tax money.
