Questions about how sexual education
would be presented to seventh graders at
Ralston Middle School has resulted in the
program being pulled this spring to allow for
a community conversation on how to
approach the subject.
Teen Talk, a two-week program managed
by Redwood City-based nonprot Teen Talk
Sexuality Education, was set to be offered to
seventh grade students later this month
provided parents signed the permission slip.
Questions about the nature of the program, its
appropriateness and communication from the
school were raised by parents which caused
the district to, originally, place the topic on
tonights board meeting agenda. On
Wednesday, it was decided that the board item
would be pulled from the agenda. Instead, the
district will postpone sexual education for
current seventh grade students to have a com-
munity conversation about the right way to
tackle the subject.
Were extremely sensitive to our parents.
This is a sensitive subject, said co-
Superintendent Nellie Hungerford, adding
this will allow the community to come togeth-
er to nd a solution that most can support.
Teen Talk Executive Director Abigail
Karlin-Resnick said, after working with the
district, that both sides decided not to offer the
Teen Talk program during this school year.
The two-week program was scheduled to
start Monday, March 18. Instead, parents got
an email from the superintendents Wednesday
afternoon about the change. The board will
discuss sexual health and HIV/AIDS preven-
tion education during a May meeting, accord-
ing to the letter. In addition, students will be
taught the human anatomy and reproduction

Human trafficking more
prevalent than most think
By Sally Schilling
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Human trafcking often sounds like a faraway, Third World
problem, or a problem that is only happening in more-popu-
lated areas like Oakland.
The hard part is for people to believe that its here, said
Betty Ann Boeving, who moved to San Mateo County two
years ago.
Boeving, director of the Bay Area Anti-Trafficking
Coalition, has been educating communities on the realities of
human trafcking in their own backyards.
She often denes human trafcking simply as, people con-
trolling others through the exploitation of their labor.

106-year-old man
gets high school diploma
BEVERLY, Mass. Fred Butler was
married for 65 years, raised ve children,
served in the Army during World War II
and worked for years for the local water
department, but the fact he never earned a
high school diploma always bothered
him.
Not anymore.
The 106-year-old was awarded his hon-
orary diploma Monday during an emo-
tional ceremony attended by school of-
cials, state lawmakers and Beverly Mayor
Bill Scanlon.
I thank everybody who is responsible
for this, he said, wearing a mortar board
hat and tassel and holding the prized doc-
ument in his hands. I certainly appreci-
ate it.
Butler dropped out of school before the
ninth-grade to accept a full-time job at a
print shop to support his mother and ve
younger siblings.
Daughter-in-law Cathy Butler says he
regretted dropping out and always
emphasized the importance of education
to his children and grandchildren.
A grandson, Mike Calabro, said Butler
gave him $5 for every A on his report
card.
Cathy Butler launched the effort to get
her father-in-law his diploma as a way to
raise his spirits following the death of his
wife, Ruth, last year.
Fred Butlers only concern was that he
hadnt earned it.
Scanlon put that concern to rest. Its a
long time to wait for your diploma,
Scanlon said, but youve obviously
earned it very well.
Lion kills worker at
California animal park
DUNLAP A lion killed a worker on
Wednesday at a private wild animal park
in Central California, authorities said.
The person was attacked and fatally
injured after getting into an enclosure
with the lion at Cat Haven in Dunlap,
Calif., Cal Fire spokesman Ryan
Michaels told the Associated Press.
The facility, which is licensed by the
California Department of Fish and
Wildlife, is about 45 miles east of Fresno
in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
A call to Cat Haven went unanswered.
The lion, a 4-year-old male named
Couscous, had been raised at Cat Haven
since it was 8 weeks old, said Tanya
Osegueda, a spokeswoman for Project
Survival, the nonprot that operates Cat
Haven.
Osegueda did not know how the park
acquired the cub.
Cat Haven is a 100-acre wild animal
park just west of Kings Canyon National
Park. Since the property opened in 1993,
it has housed numerous big cats, includ-
ing tigers, leopards and other exotic
species.
The person who was killed worked at
Cat Haven and the lion, a male from
Africa, was shot and killed by a Fresno
County sheriffs deputy. Fish and
Wildlife spokesman Lt. Tony Spada told
The Fresno Bee.
Cat Haven has had a good safety
record, Spada said.
Another big cat sanctuary, Big Cat
Rescue in Tampa, Fla., told the AP last
year that at least 21 people, including ve
children, have been killed and 246
mauled by exotic cats since 1990. Over
that period, 254 cats escaped and 143
were killed.
Cat Haven has housed Bengal tigers,
Siberian lynx, caracals, jaguars and leop-
ards of various types as well as bobcats
native to the area. Its founder Dale
Anderson, described the private zoo sev-
eral years ago as one of a handful of facil-
ities across the U.S. that has all of the big
cat species in one place.
The facilitys website says it promotes
conservation and preservation of wild
cats in their native habitats and offers vis-
itors tours and educational outreach.
Anderson told the AP after a fatal
Christmas Day 2007 tiger attack on a
teenage boy at the San Francisco Zoo that
it was a good time to do a good story on
a small organization doing some great
work to save cats in the wild.
Tatiana, the tiger responsible for the
San Francisco attack, was killed by police
after jumping out of its enclosure and
fatally mauling 17-year-old Carlos Sousa
Jr. and injuring two other people.

A man previously found mentally t to
stand trial for allegedly trying to rape a
woman studying inside a Redwood City motel
is still competent to aid in his own defense,
according to one court-appointed doctor.
But another needs more time to complete an
evaluation of Maurice Banks and his report
will either propel the transient to trial on sev-
eral felonies or if contradictory to the other
conclusion force a tie-breaking doctor to
be appointed.
Prosecutors Ivan Nightengale believes the
latest question of Banks competency, raised
the morning of jury trial in January, is a ploy
to stave off prosecution and said hes willing
to seek a trial on the issue if the doctor evalu-
ations lean toward him being hospitalized
rather than tried for the Dec. 4, 2010 attack.
Ive been trying to get this case out to trial
for years now and its horric what he did,
said prosecutor Ivan Nightengale.
Nightengale said the doctor who found
Banks competent also concluded he is malin-
gering, or exaggerating, his post traumatic
stress disorder.
Defense attorney Jeff Hayden led a motion
to strike that report out of concern the doctor
did not take a fresh look at his client but
instead used information from a previous
competency proceeding last April. If a third
doctor is necessary,
Hayden may withdraw his
motion as moot.
I declared a doubt
based on a change in his
condition so, assuming
last years report was used,
he is signicantly differ-
ent, Hayden.
Hayden said Banks
conditions include his
PTSD, hearing voices and a history of drug
abuse. He also now has phantom pain during
which he becomes unfocused and inattentive.
Banks case has stretched over two years,
with jury trial dates set six times and multiple
mental evaluations requested. The second
doctors report is due back March 22.
Banks was previously found t last spring
but, on Jan. 14, a judge suspended proceed-
ings at Haydens request because he was act-
ing out in court through hand wringing, winc-
ing and gyrating.
If Banks is ever restored to competency and
tried, he faces life in prison on charges includ-
ing assault with the intent to sexually assault,
causing great bodily injury, assault, attempted
oral copulation, rst-degree burglary, indecent
exposure and maliciously dissuading a wit-
ness.
Ofcers arrested Banks after responding to
reports of a woman screaming for help at the
Garden Motel at 1690 Broadway in Redwood
City. The woman told police she was using the
motel as a quiet studying venue and had seen
the defendant the day before the attack enter-
ing an adjoining room and making unwanted
propositions.
At approximately 4 a.m., she told police she
heard prying noises at the window opposite
the front door and got up to run from the
room. While fumbling with the lock and
chain, a man she later identied as Banks
entered the window, grabbed her and threw
her on the bed.
The suspect punched her several times in
the face and strangled her into unconscious-
ness. When she awoke, her pants were pulled
down to her knees and the suspect was stand-
ing over her demanding oral sex. The woman
said she consented but ran from the room after
he turned his head. Police found Banks three
to four hours later at the motel and DNA
linked him to the crime, Nightengale said.
The woman was hospitalized for her
injuries, which included fractured eye orbital
bones and sinus fractures requiring surgery.
She still has severe vision trouble which
makes attending class difcult because it lim-
its her studying, Nightengale said.
Banks remains in custody in lieu of
$250,000 bail.

City suffers string of residential burglaries
Two residential burglaries took place in San Bruno Tuesday
afternoon under similar circumstances that police think may be
related to another residential burglary that
took place Feb. 28.
Tuesday, police responded to the 2400
block of Whitman Way and the other on the
2200 block of Trenton Drive. In both
instances, residents returned home after a
brief absence and discovered their rear doors
had been forced open and their homes bur-
glarized, according to police.
On Feb. 28, police responded to a home
on the 2600 block of Plymouth Way after a man tried to kick in
the door of the residence before being spotted by the occupants,
according to police.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, in his 30s, 5 feet
7 inches tall, with short curly hair and a scruffy unshaven face,
Anyone with information on this incident should call San
Bruno police at (650) 616-7100.
Three residential burglars arrested
Menlo Park police pulled over a car Tuesday night for a vehi-
cle code violation and ended up arresting the three occupants,
after smelling marijuana, for being suspects in an East Palo Alto
home burglary that occurred earlier in the day, according to
police.
Ofcers found numerous electronic items, jewelry and a large
sum of cash that was taken from a residence in East Palo Alto,
Police spoke with the victims and were able to determine the
items found in the trafc stop belonged to them, according to
police.
The stolen items were later returned to the victims.
Arrested were Menlo Park residents Francisco Ramirez, 20,
Victor Bell, 18, and an East Palo Alto juvenile, according to
police.
Charges range from residential burglary, conspiracy, posses-
sion of stolen items, contributing to the delinquency of a minor
and a criminal street gang enhancement.
JobTrains longtime executive
director Sharon Williams steps down
Sharon Williams, JobTrains longtime executive director, will
step away from her position in late spring or early summer.
A reception and dinner will be held at the Four Seasons Silicon
Valley in East Palo Alto March 9 to celebrate Williams leader-
ship and to raise funds for her Life Skills legacy to JobTrain.
Williams joined JobTrain as a general educational develop-
ment test teacher in 1973 and became director of development in
1978. She took the helm as executive director in 1979. During
her 30 plus years in JobTrains top spot, Williams and her team
transformed a beleaguered nonprot into a premier job training
and placement institution. Major accomplishments include the
purchase and renovation of a 31,000-square-foot training facili-
ty; accreditation through Western Association of Schools and
Colleges; creation of cutting edge training; and a diverse funding
base that includes support from prestigious Silicon Valley lead-
ers and corporations.
JobTrain currently helps 8,000 people each year, 500-600 of
them through full-time vocational training. At least 85 percent of
those who enroll complete their training; 75 percent are placed
in jobs; and 12 months after placement, 84 percent are still work-
ing.

Families living in 70 homes on a nine-
acre parcel once used for a San Bruno
elementary school should soon be able
to vote whether to change the school dis-
trict assignment.
On Tuesday, the San Mateo County
Committee on School District
Organization approved a petition from
homeowners to change the school dis-
trict assignment from South San
Francisco Unied to San Bruno Park
Elementary and San Mateo Union High
school districts. Since one of the districts
opposed the change South San
Francisco the matter will go to a vote
of the property owners through a special
election if no appeals are led within 30
days of the committee decision,
explained Nancy Magee, county Ofce
of Education spokeswoman.
In August, home owners from 58 of
the 70 homes in the disputed area in San
Bruno known as the Merimont subdi-
vision submitted a petition to County
Superintendent Anne Campbell request-
ing the boundaries be changed from the
South San Francisco Unified School
District. Along with the fact that the land
previously housed a school in the San
Bruno Park Elementary School District,
the petitioners argued most of the neigh-
borhood children attend school in San
Bruno. As such, they would like to con-
tinue with friends through high school
into the San Mateo Union High School
District, according to the petition.
South San Francisco school ofcials
oppose the switch while elected repre-
sentatives of both San Mateo Union and
San Bruno Park support it. San Bruno
students attended Carl Sandburg
Elementary on Evergreen Drive in San
Bruno until it was closed in 1978. In
2005, the land was sold and, shortly
after, houses were built which brought
families to the area. While the land is
located within San Bruno city limits, it is
also located within the South San
Francisco Unified School District
boundary. School boundaries were
drawn prior to city limits. When Carl
Sandburg Elementary was built, the land
was in unincorporated San Mateo
County. In 1977, the Local Agency
Formation Commission annexed the
land to the city of San Bruno.
Prior to the petition from home own-
ers, the topic came up in 2010 when both
districts learned of the discrepancy. Both
San Bruno Park Elementary and South
San Francisco Unied school districts
saw the land as being within its bound-
aries. Since the two sides disagreed, the
boundary remained unchanged.
Its not only about boundaries. The
boundaries dictate where property rev-
enue is funneled. If the school district
boundaries are changed, future tax rev-
enue would instead go to San Bruno
Park Elementary and San Mateo Union
High school districts.
More recently, the money debate has
also included developer fees collected
by San Bruno Park during construction
of the housing on the Sandburg land.
South San Francisco contends it should
have received the funds a request to
be paid that money was made to San
Bruno Park earlier this year.

Leslie Gardner, 63, of Gillette, Wyo.,
was formally charged with felony grand
theft, possessing stolen property and van-
dalism. He is also facing the allegation of
excessive taking based on the value of the
boat. Prosecutors declined to pursue
charges against the Aptos couple, Dario
Mira, 54, and Lisa Modawell, 56, because
they couldnt prove they had any idea the
boat was stolen.
We dont have proof beyond a rea-
sonable doubt and by all appearances it
seems they met this man three to four
days ago and he told them he had
inherited a boat and invited them to go
on a trip, said Assistant District
Attorney Al Serrato.
A fourth person
drove with them to
Sausalito then drove
Gardners truck
toward Pillar Point
where he was to meet
the boat, Serrato said.
A judge upheld
Gardners $1.01 mil-
lion bail and ordered
him back to court March 18 for a prelim-
inary hearing after he pleaded not guilty
and asked for a court-appointed attorney.
The odd story began Monday when a
beachgoer called authorities to report a
boat, the Darling, in need of help because
it was stuck on a sandbar in shallow water
at low tide off Linda Mar Beach. The call
came about three hours after the vessel,
which his insured at $4.2 million, was
taken from the Sausalito Yacht Harbor in
the early hours of Monday morning.
As surfers paddled out to help and tele-
vision news broadcast footage of the
damaged boat, its owner recognized his
vessel and called Sausalito police to
report it stolen. Authorities surrounded
the boat at gunpoint but the three passen-
gers refused to leave for a few hours.
Once removed, they were arrested and
authorities reported nding pizza and
beer bottles onboard.
Gardner was not assessed for boating
under the inuence, Serrato said.
On Tuesday, the boat was towed to
Richmond by a salvage crew hired by the
owner so that its damage could be
assessed.
The amount of damage and the cost of
the response by the Coast Guard will be a
factor in the case, including potential
restitution, Serrato said.
The Marin County District Attorneys
Ofce considered taking the case back
into its jurisdiction because the boat was
taken from Sausalito but ultimately
allowed San Mateo County prosecutors to
handle it, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A San Mateo martial arts instructor accused
of inappropriately touching two young female
students will stand trial on four felony counts
of molestation that could leave him facing life
in prison if convicted of abusing multiple vic-
tims.
Meng Ricky Wong, 36, of Redwood City,
has pleaded not guilty to the charges but was
held to answer on all counts yesterday after
waiving a preliminary hearing on four counts
of molestation. Wong faces life in prison if
convicted of those plus the special allegation
of abusing multiple victims.
Wong worked at the Tat Wong Kung Fu
Academy on 43rd Avenue studio between
1999 and 2011. Prosecutors say he fondled
two girls, ages 9 and 11, at different times
between August 2010 and
October 2011. The girls do
not know each other but
are very similar in age and
appearance, according to
San Mateo police.
In the first instance,
Wong allegedly took the
girl upstairs at the studio
and touched her breasts
and buttocks. The girl
reported the incident but the lack of corrobo-
ration led to no prosecution. In October 2011,
the second girl reported an identical touching
incident upstairs at the studio.
In August, one of the girls sued him, studio
owner Tat Mau Wong and parent company
Action Martial Arts for carelessly and negli-
gently failing to establish appropriate guide-
lines for interacting and teaching minors.
Which girls guardian led the San Mateo
County Superior Court case is unclear but she
joined the academy in October 2006 in hopes
of earning a black belt, according to the docu-
ment. In late summer through November
2010, Wong touched the girl in a way uncon-
nected to his instruction, the suit alleges.
As a result, the girl claims she suffered
severe pain and suffering, anxiety, shock,
humiliation and shame. She also incurred
expenses for medical care, medicine and
counseling, the suit states.
He returns to Superior Court April 4 to enter
a plea and possibly set a trial date.
He is free from custody on a $100,000 bail
bond.

Police standoff ends
with arrest in San Francisco
Police arrested a robbery suspect
Wednesday after a nearly seven-hour standoff
that began when he barricaded himself inside
a marijuana growing site in San Francisco.
Four people who worked inside the building
had been taken hostage but were freed hours
before the standoff ended. Police would not
say if they had been released by the suspect or
rescued by a SWAT team.
The suspect was taken into custody after a
tactical team with a police dog rushed the
building in an industrial area of the citys
Bayview district.
Police credited the dog, named Tomak, with
capturing the suspect.
The tactical team announced their pres-
ence and the dog barked, and as they made
their way through the building, the suspect
surrendered, stating that he did not want to be
bitten by the police dog, said Sgt. Michael
Andraychak, a police spokesman.
The incident began before 4 a.m. as an
attempted robbery by four men who stormed
the building that police initially thought was a
medical marijuana dispensary, authorities
said.
Arriving ofcers arrested three suspects
wearing ski masks who ran from the scene
while another person stayed inside and
refused to leave the building.
Police quickly set up a three-block perime-
ter and treated the incident as a potential
hostage situation. The SWAT team and nego-
tiators were called.
They waited several hours before rushing
the building, where they also discovered about
1,000 marijuana plants.
Community mourns
slain Santa Cruz officers
Community members cried, prayed and left
remembrances at a closed-casket visitation for
two slain Santa Cruz Police Department
detectives.
Wednesdays public casket viewing at Santa
Cruz Memorial cemetery is the rst of several
events honoring detectives Sgt. Loran
Butch Baker and Ofcer Elizabeth Butler.
Jeremy Goulet shot and killed both ofcers
when they came to his house on Feb. 26 while
investigating a misdemeanor sexual assault
case. Goulet was killed in a subsequent chase
and shootout.
The main memorial ceremony is scheduled
for Thursday at San Joses HP Pavilion, 525
West Santa Clara St., from noon to 3 p.m. A
procession of 200 local law enforcement of-
cers leaves the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk
amusement park at 8:30 a.m. to attend the

SACRAMENTO The number of
paroled sex offenders who are fugitives in
California is 15 percent higher today than
before Gov. Jerry Browns sweeping law
enforcement realignment law took effect 17
months ago, according to gures released
Wednesday by the state corrections depart-
ment.
The increase amounts to 360 more sex
offenders whose whereabouts were unknown
and who were not reporting to their parole
ofcers last year.
An Associated Press analysis of the
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
data shows that 2,706 paroled sex offenders
dropped out of sight in the 15 months since
the new law took effect in October 2011,
compared to 2,346 in the 15 months before
realignment. The numbers were obtained by
the AP before their public release.
Thats an average of 180 sex offender fugi-
tives each month, up from 156 before realign-
ment.
Attention has focused on parolees who cut
off or disable their GPS-linked ankle
bracelets, meaning that parole agents are
unable to track their movements by satellite.
Sex offender parolees are required to wear the
tracking devices under Jessicas Law,
approved by state voters in 2006.
The governors realignment law sends
lower-level offenders to county jails instead
of state prisons and was enacted in part to
conform to a federal court order to reduce the
inmate population.
Before the law took effect in 2011, those
who violated their parole by tampering with
the devices could have been returned to state
prison for up to a year. Now they can be sen-
tenced to up to six months in county jails, but
many are released within days because local
jails are overcrowded.
Some county jails refuse to accept the
parole violators at all.
The problem varies greatly by county.
Many saw no signicant change, while some
saw decreases in the number of sex offenders
who could no longer be located.
But the number nearly doubled in Fresno
County, from 62 before realignment to 116
through the end of last year. The number
jumped from 685 to 847 in Los Angeles
County, which produces about a third of the
states criminals.
Among other large counties in Southern
California, Orange County saw an increase
from 91 to 119; Riverside County from 131 to
151; and San Bernardino County from 154 to
195. The number dropped slightly in San
Diego County, from 141 to 140.
In the Central Valley, Kern County saw an
increase in the number of fugitive sex offend-
ers from 51 to 67, Sacramento County from
170 to 191 and San Joaquin County from 74
to 94. San Francisco increased from 72 to 84.
The majority of fugitives are quickly recap-
tured, the gures show.
In Alameda County, for instance, just eight
of 106 parolees eluded capture last year.
There were four parolees still missing in
Fresno County, 71 in Los Angeles County, 11
in Orange County, seven in Riverside County,
nine in Sacramento County, 18 in San
Bernardino County, and four in San Diego
County.
Criminals have been removing their GPS
devices for as long as theyve been using
them. Its a crime we take very seriously. We
aggressively track and arrest convicts who
commit it, said state corrections spokes-
woman Deborah Hoffman.
Parolees are recaptured in an average of 12
days, she said.
Its the punishment after they are back in
custody that has changed, with overcrowding
in many county jails creating a revolving door
that often allows criminals to go free within
days.
More sex offenders are going
missing under new state law

Obituary
By Richard Lardner
WASHINGTON A tea party
senator from Kentucky used an old-
style filibuster lasting nearly 13
hours to block Senate conrmation
of John Brennans nomination to be
CIA director.
Sen. Rand Paul ended his li-
buster shortly after midnight, but
Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell, also a Kentucky
Republican, said he would continue
to oppose Brennans conrmation
and try to keep the debate going.
After Paul yielded the oor, Sen.
Dick Durbin, D-Ill., led a motion
to cut off debate on Brennans nom-
ination and bring it up for a vote.
Paul ended his lengthy speech
with a joke. He said that he was
tempted to go another 12 hours and
try to break former South Carolina
Sen. Strom Thurmonds libuster
record of 24 hours, but he needed to
use the bathroom.
I discovered that there are some
limits to libustering and Im going
to have to go and take care of one of
those in a few minutes, Paul said.
But Pauls performance clearly
energized his colleagues and even
he seemed invigorated as the night
progressed. Paul, a tea party favorite
and a Republican critic of President
Barack Obamas unmanned drone
policy, started just before noon
Wednesday by demanding the pres-
ident or Attorney General Eric
Holder issue a statement assuring
that the aircraft would not be used
in the United States to kill terrorism
suspects who are U.S. citizens. He
wasnt picky about the format, say-
ing at one point hed be happy with
a telegram or a Tweet.
But by the time he left the oor,
he said hed received no response.
In a show of support, more than a
dozen of Pauls colleagues who
share his conservative views came
to the oor to take turns speaking
for him and trading questions.
McConnell congratulated Paul for
his tenacity and for his convic-
tion. McConnell also called
Obamas choice, John Brennan, a
controversial nominee.
Paul said he recognized that he
cant stop Brennan from being con-
rmed. But the nomination was the
right vehicle for a debate over what
the Obama White House believes
are the limits of the federal govern-
ments ability to conduct lethal
operations against suspected terror-
ists, he said.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, read
Twitter messages from people eager
to Stand With Rand. The
Twitterverse, said Cruz, is blowing
up. And as the night went on, Cruz
spoke for longer periods as Paul
leaned against a desk across the
oor.
Cruz, an insurgent Republican
with strong tea party backing, read
passages from Shakespeares
Henry V and lines from the 1970
movie Patton, starring George C.
Scott.

WASHINGTON Physicists in
Italy said Wednesday they are
achingly close to concluding that
what they found last year was the
Higgs boson, the elusive God par-
ticle. They need to eliminate one
last remote possibility that its
something else.
The long theorized subatomic
particle would explain why matter
has mass and has been called a
missing cornerstone of physics.
With new analyses, scientists are
closer to being certain they found
the crucial Higgs boson. But they
want to be 99.9 percent positive,
said Pauline Gagnon, a physicist
with the European Center for
Nuclear Research.
Last July scientists with the
worlds largest atom smasher, the
$10 billion Large Hadron Collider
on the Swiss-French border,
announced nding a particle they
described as Higgs-like, but would-
nt say it was conclusively the parti-
cle. Now thousands of checks show
them even closer.
It looks more and more like a
Higgs boson, said Gagnon after an
update presented Wednesday at a
conference in the Italian Alps.
Gagnon compared finding the
Higgs to identifying a specic per-
son. This looks, talks, and sings like
a Higgs, but scientists want to make
sure it dances like the Higgs before
they shout Eureka.
She said there is only one last
thing the particle they found could
also be: a graviton. Thats another
subatomic particle associated with
gravitational elds, not mass.
By checking the spin of the parti-
cle, scientists will be able to tell if it
is a Higgs boson, which is far more
likely, or a graviton. If it has no
internal spin, its the Higgs boson; if
it has a lot of spin its a graviton.
God particle: Confirmation is achingly close

House votes to prevent March 27 federal shutdown
By David Espo and Andrew Taylor
WASHINGTON Republicans pushed
legislation through the House on Wednesday
to prevent a government shutdown this month
while easing the short-term impact of $85 bil-
lion in spending cuts at the same time pre-
viewing a longer-term plan to erase federal
decits without raising taxes.
President Barack Obama pursued a differ-
ent path as the GOP asserted its budget prior-
ities. He arranged to have dinner with several
Republican senators at a hotel near the White
House in search of bipartisan support for a
deficit-cutting approach that includes the
higher taxes he seeks as well as savings from
Medicare and other benet programs that
they stress.
Any such compromise talks are unlikely to
yield fruit for months, if then, although
Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, the author of the
House Republican budget plan, expressed
hope that some progress across party lines
might be possible later in the year.
I think this whole thing will come to a
crescendo this summer, and were going to
have to talk to each other to get an agreement
about how to delay a debt crisis, how to save
this country from a scal train wreck thats
coming, said Ryan, who was the
Republicans vice presidential candidate last
year. He added that he had spoken with
Obama in recent days, but he declined to pro-
vide details.
For now, the divided governments immedi-
ate objectives are to prevent a shutdown of
federal agencies on March 27, at the same
time lawmakers and the White House look for
ways to ease the impact of across-the-board
spending cuts that kicked in less than a week
ago.
The legislation that cleared the House on a
bipartisan vote of 267-151 would do both,
ensuring funding through the Sept. 30 end of
the budget year while granting the Pentagon
and the Department of Veterans Affairs
greater exibility in implementing their share
of short-term spending cuts.
This is all about whether or not we shut
down the government. This is a bill to keep
the government operating, said Rep. Hal
Rogers, the Kentucky Republican who chairs
the House Appropriations Committee.
Minority Democrats appeared torn between
a desire to support legislation to keep the gov-
ernment open and their goal of replacing at
least half of the spending cuts with provisions
to increase revenue.
Instead of closing tax loopholes for corpo-
rate jets, they want to cut 4 million meals on
wheels, the partys House leader, Rep.
Nancy Pelosi of California, said of
Republicans.
The bill passed with the support of 53
Democrats, more than a quarter of those vot-
ing.
It now goes to the Senate, where Democrats
and the White House are deep in negotiations
with Republicans on changes that would give
the Department of Homeland Security and
other domestic agencies the same type of ex-
ibility in administering the spending cuts that
the Pentagon would receive.
Obamas dinner with Senate Republicans
stemmed from a suggestion he made during a
conversation recently with GOP Sen. Lindsey
Graham of South Carolina, according to a
presidential aide.

WASHINGTON Shifting course in the
face of political gridlock, President Barack
Obama is making rare overtures to rank-and-
le Republicans, inviting GOP senators to
dinner Wednesday, planning visits to Capitol
Hill and working the phones with lawmakers.
Obamas efforts are aimed at jumpstarting
budget talks and rallying support for his pro-
posals on immigration and gun control.
The presidents new charm offensive
underscores the limitations of his earlier
attempts to use public pressure, rather than
direct engagement, to win Republican coop-
eration. That strategy proved futile in recent
weeks, as the White House and Congress
failed to prevent $85 billion in automatic
budget cuts that both sides said they wanted
to avoid.
As that sequester has started taking
effect, Obama has begun quietly calling con-
gressional Republicans to discuss the
prospects for an elusive longer-term decit
reduction deal as well as his other second-
term priorities. Aides say Obama is concen-
trating his outreach on lawmakers with a his-
tory of bipartisan deal-making and those who
have indicated some willingness to support
increased tax revenue as part of a big decit-
cutting package.
In both his calls and dinner invitations, the
president pointedly has skipped over Sen.
Mitch McConnell and House Speaker John
Boehner, the GOP leaders who insist that
Obama will get no further tax hikes from
Capitol Hill.
Republicans have had mixed reactions to
the outreach from the president, who previ-
ously has shown little appetite for personal
engagement with lawmakers, often prefer-
ring to assign those efforts to his staff and
Vice President Joe Biden.
Hes never spent anytime reaching out,
said Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, who spoke
with the president this week about gun legis-
lation. The question is, is it starting to
change because there is bad poll numbers or
is it because he really decided hes going to
lead and solve some of the problems of the
country?
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a frequent critic of
the White House on national security issues,
said he was encouraged by Obamas efforts.
This is how you solve hard problems, the
South Carolina Republican said.

WASHINGTON Jeb Bush has long resis-

that comes as he promotes a new book and
Republicans struggle to rebound after
President Barack Obamas re-election.
Im not saying yes. Im just not saying no,
Bush told NBC News earlier this week, one of
a series of such comments hes made as he
talks about the book Immigration Wars in
television interviews and forums.
Comments like those
from Bush, 60, are in
sharp contrast to past
refusals to even entertain
the idea of following in
the footsteps of his older
brother, former President
George W. Bush, and
their father, former
President George H.W.
Bush.

Republican presidential primaries, Bushs
words offer a window into his evolving think-
ing on a future run.

LONDON Some cried, some cheered.
Many Latin Americans mourned the death of
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, leaders
in Europe and Asia sent condolences, and
Irans president predicted great works in the
afterlife.
President Barack Obama, meanwhile,
focused on a new chapter for Venezuela,
following 14 years in which Chavez cast him-
self as a bulwark against U.S. domination.
Chavez, who died Tuesday at age 58, was
seen as a hero by some for his socialist pro-
grams, his anti-U.S. rhetoric and gifts of cut-
rate oil. Others considered him a bully who
repressed his opponents.
A teary-eyed Bolivian President Evo
Morales, one of Chavezs closest allies and
most loyal disciples, declared that Chavez is
more alive than ever.
Chavez will continue to be an inspira-
tion for all peoples who fight for their lib-
eration, Morales said Tuesday in a tele-
vised speech. Chavez will always be pres-
ent in all the regions of the world and all
social sectors. Hugo Chavez will always be
with us, accompanying us.
Former London Mayor Ken Livingstone,
another left-wing fan of the Latin American
strongman, told the Associated Press that
Chavezs ability to shrug off American pres-
sure and weather what he described as a U.S.-
backed coup attempt had inspired the entire
continent to defy Washington.
The fact that he survived encouraged other
Latin American nations to break free and put
their own people ahead of corporate inter-
ests, Livingstone said in a telephone inter-
view. Before him, the governments there
were just creatures of the White House. Now
they are generally pursuing policies that help
their own people.
The U.N. Security Council observed a
minute of silence to honor the memory of
Chavez at the start of a meeting on
Wednesday morning.
Russias U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin,
the current council president, expressed the
deepest sympathy of the U.N.s most pow-
erful body at Chavezs death. He then asked
for a minute of silence and the 15 council
members and other diplomats and U.N. staff
in the room stood up to honor the late
Venezuelan leader.

UNITED NATIONS Armed fighters
linked to the Syrian opposition detained 21
U.N. peacekeepers Wednesday in the increas-
ingly volatile zone separating Israeli and
Syrian troops on the Golan Heights, a new
escalation in the spillover of Syrias civil war.
The U.N. Security Council demanded their
immediate and unconditional release.
The capture comes a week after the
announcement that a member of the peace-
keeping force is missing. The force, known as
UNDOF, was established in 1974 following
the 1973 Yom Kippur war to monitor the dis-
engagement of Israeli and Syrian forces and
maintain a cease-re.
Israeli ofcials have grown increasingly jit-
tery as the Syrian war moves closer to Israel.
There have been several instances in which
stray re has landed in the Israeli-controlled
Golan Heights, and Israel is concerned that
Syrian weapons could fall into the hands of
hostile groups and be used against Israel.
Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria
in 1967 and Syria wants the land returned in
exchange for peace.
Russias U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin,
the current Security Council president, said
talks are under way between U.N. ofcials
from the peacekeeping force and the captors.
U.N. peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous,
who briefed the council behind closed doors,
identied the captors as being from a group
associated with the Syrian armed opposition,
Churkin said.
There was no ghting, according to his
brieng to us, Churkin said. My understand-
ing is that they took over the trucks in which
the UNDOF personnel was moving around.
Churkin said the capture of the peacekeep-
ers is particularly unacceptable and bizarre
because the UNDOF peacekeepers are
unarmed and their mission has nothing to do
with Syrias internal conict.

Peninsula High School
Editor,
Thank you for your informative and
well-balanced editorial March 6
Finding a Spot for Peninsula High
School. I am pleased to hear
Superintendent Laurence is still in the
process of seeking an appropriate site
for Peninsula High School. Although I
cannot attend the meeting at Aragon
High School tonight, I would like to
comment on the much-touted site
adjoining San Mateo High School.
As an educator, a volunteer bilingual
tutor in a San Mateo elementary school
and the mother of a son who found the
success in an alternative high school
that he could not achieve in the tradi-
tional high school, I fully appreciate the
value of a school that educates those
who may otherwise fall through the
cracks. I agree that Crestmoor students
deserve a facility on the same level as
other district students.
However, I strongly object to the idea
of placing this school in the area of
Poplar Avenue between Delaware and
Humboldt streets and denitely not
due to any concerns about non-tradi-
tional students. There is no southbound
entry to Highway 101 from Peninsula
Avenue and the Poplar Avenue freeway
entrance has become extremely danger-
ous with cars coming from four
directions and waiting, guessing whose
turn it is to proceed. Poplar Avenue traf-
c is constantly backed up past Idaho
and Humboldt streets. Since these stu-
dents will be coming from all over the
district, more cars will add to an already
difcult and dangerous situation.
Secondly, as you note in your editori-
al, a signicant number of Crestmoor
students were relocated from San Mateo
High School. A full understanding by
educators and administrators of the
kinds of teenage rivalries that build up
in such situations would eliminate con-
sideration of placing this school close to
San Mateo High School.
I hope Mr. Laurence and his team
will nd a more appropriate location for
this worthwhile endeavor.

No CPR in health facility
Editor,
The article (Woman dies after nurse
refuses to do CPR in the March 5 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal) may not have
all the relevant facts. It is possible that
this elderly woman may have had an
advance directive which stated that in
such circumstances she did not want
CPR.
I am a volunteer of long standing for
the organization Compassion and
Choice, which helps patients make
end-of-life decisions and acts as their
advocate to see that their wishes are
carried out. It is our experience that all
too often health care facilities in their
wisdom override a prior decision to
let nature take its course and subject
their patients to unneeded, unwanted
and very intrusive interventions.
The event in the article certainly war-
rants further investigation. However, it
would be most unfortunate if it fright-
ened the administrators of these facili-
ties into not honoring their patients
wishes.

Matt Grocott
Editor,
Thank you, Mayor Grocott of San
Carlos, for standing your ground in the
face of adverse attempts to silence and
intimidate you voicing real concerns
regarding the proposed ban on plastic
bags at the last City Council meeting
(in response to Mayor Grocotts letter
Bag ban ordinance in the March 5
edition of the Daily Journal).
I have spoken to a number of restau-
rant and take-out food business in San
Carlos about this proposed ban. The
general feeling on banning plastic bags
is that it could strongly effect and ham-
per their businesses. Potential leakage
from takeout items could hinder safe
handling of hot and cold food products,
endangering the ability to protect items
from spillage on body parts, clothes, in
vehicles and home areas, etc.
What will be next, a ban on all all
plastic goods, containers and packaging
at delis and markets (or a ban on frozen
foods, selling fresh foods only), phar-
macies, dry cleaners, paint shops, hard-
ware stores, clothing stores, orists and
other sundry stores and businesses?
Lets not forget plastics in hospitals,

A better approach
to leaf blowers
Editor,
When a small, vocal and well-organ-
ized group imposes their opinion on the
public, fairness is diminished and the
needs and rights of most are impinged
upon. Such is the case with the San
Mateo City Councils apparent drive to
ban the leaf blower.
Admittedly, the blower can be noisy
and, when used nearby, can interrupt
ones enjoyment of ones garden or a
restorative walk on a tree-lined street.
However, there is unanimous agreement
among park departments, school dis-
tricts, professional gardeners and tree
service providers on the efciency of
leaf blowers. The city of San Mateo
reported on Nov. 5, 2012 that without
leaf blowers it will take six wage earn-
ers 32 hours instead of 19 hours to
clean Central Park and it will take two
staff members 8.5 hours instead of 3
hours to maintain the Japanese Garden.
That gross inefciency will be repeated
52 times per year with still greater
waste of time following storms, with
increased debris.
Of course, a home owner may well
choose to rake his own small yard or
leave leaf debris in his garden. But
when he demands that those of us
charged with cleaning large gardens,
circular driveways and tennis courts
may not use efcient tools, he displays
a gross unfairness to 96,000 fellow San
Mateo residents and all gardeners.
Numerous cities have gone beyond
this knee-jerk response and instead have
pursued the new quieter blowers and
actual agreements between neighbors
and their gardeners so noise and annoy-
ance can be reduced. With pressure
from consumers, manufacturers devised
quieter blowers and they would assured-
ly provide yet quieter blowers if we gar-
deners could only use machines at 55
db or less.
San Mateo would benet from such a
cooperative and enlightened approach
instead of a heavy-handed ban with all
its disadvantages.

Article priority
Editor,
In the March 4 edition of the Daily
Journal, I read letter writer Mr. Gus
Sinks taking issue with Mr. Gil
Hendersons letter regarding article
priority in the recent murders of two
ne police ofcers from the city of
Santa Cruz.
Well, Mr. Sinks, probably to your sur-
prise, Mr. Henderson is not the only
person that saw a problem with this. I
agree with him 100 percent. Our local
paper should have put this on the front
page. Santa Cruz is one of the many
local hot spots we enjoy in this area. All
of our public safety personnel deserve
our respect and gratitude, and this paper
should have done more to recognize
that. Im hoping they will in the future.

What a steal!
W
ith apologies to the National Rifle Association,
plastic bags dont cause litter. People do. That
is the message San Carlos Mayor Matt Grocott
pretty much promoted last week when he bristled at a pro-
posal to ban single-use bags in the city and require mer-
chants to charge patrons between a dime and a quarter if
they dare insist on such a throw-
away carryall.
Grocott, who is nothing if not
prepared, brought to the council
meeting photos of garbage
strewn about downtown San
Carlos including coffee cups and
so many cigarette butts it must
seem that the Belmont ban on
puffing is pushing smokers to its
neighbor. Bags, Grocott said, are
not the enemy.
And hes right to some extent.
Remove the bags and the county
doesnt suddenly become the pristine streets of Singapore,
unless of course we begin caning those who dare chew gum
or have no concept of a trash receptacle. For all the preva-
lent recycling and green thinking, we are still dirty, sloven-
ly people and, even when we arent, the wind has a tenden-
cy to push cup sleeves and wadded-up napkins off tables
and the top of garbage cans down the street. Lets also out-
law the wind.
But the natural elements are not in question; instead, the
question is how to control the man-made components
which is what is bringing the bag ban to dozens of cities
lately and which led to Grocotts minority opinion that
there are alternatives like compostable products.
The rest of the council disagreed. County Public Health
Director Dean Peterson disagreed. Pretty much anybody
who wants to wrap their arms around the world and are so
environmentally conscious they compost and collect rain
water and think those who use plastic bags for wet waste
are the devil they all disagreed, too.
Now Woodside is jumping into the fray, not balking at
the idea of prohibiting single-use bans but disliking the
idea of ordering merchants to charge and keep tabs on how
many they sell. Nobody needs to call Al Gore and company
quite yet; the skepticism of two cities isnt enough to
declare an environmental backlash and lament that the anti-
climate change folks are grabbing a foothold.
But sorry naysayers; in the scrum over Earth versus envi-
ronmental dictatorship, they are missing a key argument of
why some merchants say the push for reusable carriers just
arent their bag. Store owners in the Seattle area are report-
ing links between reusable bags and shoplifting. In other
words, sticky-fingered shoppers who arent keen on
shelling out 10 or 25 cents for a bag are also unwilling to
pony up on the actual price of goods. On a side note,
Washington state also did just legalize gay marriage and
marijuana so the curious may wonder if the swiped items
tend toward dish towels and zigzag papers. Maybe potato
chips.
In any case, the point is not what theyre stealing but that
merchants and retail industry experts say theyve lost thou-
sands of dollars in merchandise because thieves can more
readily hide items in reusable items before moseying back
out. Employees cant easily tell what comes in versus what
comes out when customers are bringing in their own bags
instead of relying on sacks emblazoned with store logos.
Not sure if business owners really cant get a handle on
the shoplifting problem but it certainly puts a fresh spin on
the tired debate. Maybe authorities should also outlaw
recyclable bags. This will eliminate the argument the bags
are public safety hazards when owners bypass the occa-
sional wash and dry or shove fruit in a container also used
for leaky meat or sweaty gym clothes. That ban might also
force consumers to buy only what they can fit in two
hands, or a begging bowl. Thats fine, America has an obe-
sity problem anyway.
In the meantime, I am hoarding plastic bags like theres
no tomorrow. And after Earth Day in many Peninsula cities
or July likely in San Carlos there actually will be no
tomorrow for the condemned bags, at least without a price.
They will join that graveyard of sketchy items past, along-
side polystyrene, soda six-pack rings and DDT. That means
no bags to clog up recycling machinery and contaminate
beaches but also no easily available bags to collect dog
waste, line the bathroom waste basket or bundle donation
items for Goodwill. The Earth will benefit; the pocketbook
will slightly suffer as like-minded bag users are forced to
purchase them.
Of course, we could always take a cue from Washington
state consumers and opt for a five-finger discount. At least
the reusable bags will finally come in handy.

Big movers

NEW YORK After barreling
through a record the day before, the Dow
Jones industrial average meandered
higher on Wednesday.
The Dow edged up 42.47 points, or
0.3 percent, to close at 14,296.24. An
encouraging job-market report helped
nudge the stock market up and pushed
bond prices lower.
On Tuesday, the Dow blew past the
previous all-time high it hit more than
ve years ago. The index of 30 big cor-
porations has more than doubled since
hitting a low during the nancial crisis in
March 2009.
The question now is, how much longer
can it keep climbing?
In the past, stock indexes have often
drifted lower in the months after break-
ing through previous record highs.
David Brown, director of Sabrient
Systems, an investment research rm,
sees plenty of reasons for the market to
keep climbing, however. People are put-
ting their cash into the stock market
again. And the alternatives, like bonds,
are hardly appealing.
There is literally nowhere else to go,
Brown said. Do you really want to
make 1.9 percent on a 10-year Treasury?
You wont make any money doing that.
In other trading, the Standard & Poors
500 index rose 1.67 points, or 0.1 per-
cent, to 1,541.46. The Nasdaq slipped
1.77, less than 0.1 percent, to 3,222.36.
Microsoft led a decline in tech stocks,
losing 26 cents to $28.09. European reg-
ulators ned the company for breaking
an antitrust agreement requiring the soft-
ware giant to offer computer users a
choice of Internet browsers, instead of
just Internet Explorer.
Companies added 198,000 U.S. work-
ers to their payrolls in February, accord-
ing to payment processor ADP. The rm
also said employers added 23,000 more
jobs in January than rst reported.
The ADP survey suggests that govern-
ment spending cuts have yet to deter
employers from hiring. Investors look to
the ADP survey as a preview to the
closely watched Labor Department
report, which comes out Friday.
Economists expect the government to
say employers added 152,000 jobs in
February, lowering the unemployment
rate to 7.8 percent from 7.9 percent.
As traders anticipated better news
about the job market, bond prices fell
and the yield on the 10-year Treasury
rose to 1.93 percent from 1.90 percent
late Tuesday.

WASHINGTON Strong auto sales,
better hiring and a continued housing
recovery helped the U.S. economy grow
in January and February throughout the
country, according to a survey released
Wednesday by the Federal Reserve.
The survey noted that 10 of the Feds
12 banking districts reported moderate or
modest growth, while the Boston and
Chicago districts reported slow growth.
Consumer spending increased in most
regions, although spending growth
slowed in many districts and much of the
gains were driven by auto sales. Many
districts said consumers pulled back
slightly elsewhere after seeing taxes rise
and gas prices increase. Some also
expressed concerns about federal spend-
ing cuts that started on March 1.
Housing markets showed more
strength in nearly all parts of the country.
Manufacturing grew modestly in most
regions after struggling in through most
of 2012. And many districts reported
improvement in individual jobs markets.
The report, called the Beige Book,
provides anecdotal information on eco-
nomic conditions through February 22.
The information will be discussed along
with other economic data during the
Feds next policy meeting on March 19-
20.
Analysts said the report was slightly
more upbeat than the previous Fed sur-
vey, noting the modest rebound in manu-
facturing in the past two months. Jennifer
Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital
Markets, called the latest survey more
encouraging news on the U.S. economy.

New TSA rules on knives
draw fire from Sept. 11 families
NEW YORK Some family members of victims killed
in the Sept. 11 terror attacks said Wednesday that they are
outraged by the Transportation Security Administrations
decision to let passengers carry pocketknives on planes.
TSA Administrator John Pistole announced Tuesday
that airline passengers will be able to carry pocketknives
with blades less than 2.36 inches long and less than half an
inch wide. Souvenir baseball bats, golf clubs and other
sports equipment also will be permitted starting next
month.
The agency said the policy aligns the U.S. with interna-
tional standards and allows the TSA to concentrate on
more serious safety threats.
Unions representing flight attendants and other airline
workers decried the change, and several relatives of people
killed when terrorists hijacked four U.S. airliners on Sept.
11, 2001, criticized the move as well.
Im flabbergasted, said Sally Regenhard, whose fire-
fighter son was killed at the World Trade Center. Im real-
ly disgusted by this latest news.
Regenhard said she recently had a container of yogurt
confiscated by the TSA because it was a gel. Im just
wondering why a yogurt is more dangerous than a
penknife or a golf club, she said.
Debra Burlingame, whose brother Charles was the pilot
of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon, said a pock-
etknife can be just as deadly as a box cutter, like the ones
the hijackers used. Box cutters will still be banned under
the new rules.
When youre drawing a blade against someones neck,
theyre quite lethal, Burlingame said. This is bad news.
Facebook adds University
of California chief to board
Facebook says the chancellor of the University of
California at San Francisco, Susan Desmond-Hellmann,
will join its board of directors.
She will be the second woman elect-
ed to the Menlo Park companys board,
joining Facebooks No. 2 executive,
Sheryl Sandberg. The company named
Sandberg to the body last June after
criticism that its directors were all men.
Before serving as chancellor,
Desmond-Hellmann was an executive
at biotechnology drugmaker
Genentech, which markets some of the
best-selling cancer drugs in the world.
She is a doctor with a specialty in treat-
ing cancer.
Facebook Inc.s board also includes Netflix Inc. chief
Reed Hastings, entrepreneurs Marc Andreessen and Peter
Thiel, and Washington Post Co. CEO Donald Graham.
Facebook CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg is chairman
of the board, which now has nine members.

Burlingames Will Dobson goes up for a shot Wednesday during the Panthers 58-50 loss to Campolindo High School in the CIF Northern California state tournaments rst round.
Burlingame swept at home, Menlo sweeps its games, El Caminos stars have huge night
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It was the great Connor Haupt, Burlingame
Panther basketball legend and Central Coast
Section champion, who said, every run has to
come to an end eventually.
And thus, in front of a standing-room only
crowd at Burlingame High School and only a
couple days removed from experiencing the
ultimate of highs by capturing two CCS
Division III titles, the Panthers basketball pro-
gram was dealt a double dose of disappoint-
ment by losing in the opening round of the
CIF Northern California playoffs.
The girls could not buy a basket against No.
11 Modesto Christian and fell 48-34 while the
boys fell apart in the nal minutes of their
game against No. 10 Campolindo and lost 58-
50.
We had a lot of mental breakdowns, said
boys center Nick Loew. We just didnt exe-
cute. I thought we gave it a heck of a run at the
end but it was too little too late I guess.
I think we fought but it just wasnt
enough, said boys point guard Mikel Floro-
Cruz. We had the momentum but every time
we gained one step, it was two steps back with
a turnover or a missed shot. We were in it, but
at the end of the day, the scoreboard shows it.
The Panthers appeared to be in the drivers
seat late in the game, clawing back from a 10-
point decit with 5:04 left in the game to 48-
47 with 3:34 on the clock and all the momen-
tum in their corner.
The performance up until that point was
typical of Burlingames run through this post-
season. Campolindo was in control on the
scoreboard throughout, but the Panthers knew
they were good for one big surge and they got
it when Floro-Cruz hit an emotional 3-pointer
to pull within one.

Things didnt go Steven Hughes way on the
mound, but the Aragon junior ended up being
the hero with the bat as the Dons (5-0)
downed El Camino 5-2 Wednesday at Aragon
High School.
With Aragon trailing 2-1 in the fth inning,
one loud swing from Hughes propelled the
Dons to victory, as the big left-handed hitter
stepped to the plate with two on and two out
and slammed a three-run home run to the
right-center power alley.
Hughes took a no-decision through four
innings, but junior left-hander Brennan Carey
hurled two perfect innings of relief to earn the
win. El Camino right-hander Josh Eclavea
surrendered four runs (one earned) over ve
innings to take the loss.
His record falls to 2-1.
We hit the ball around
the yard, Aragon manager
Lenny Souza said. We
didnt string them together
today. But any time you
can get out with a win
against a team like El Camino youre happy.
El Camino (2-4) jumped on the board in the
rst when Steve Pastora swiped home on a
wheel steal. Then with two outs and the bases
loaded, Emiliano Rios singled to right to drive
home Eclavea, giving El Camino a 2-0 lead.

the inning when, with one on, Aldo Sevrerson

For the rst time in his coaching career,
Serra High School tennis coach Marcus
Charles was speechless.
His team hugged, tears were shed and
Charles said he didnt know what to say.
The Serra varsity tennis team defeated
eight-time defending champion Bellarmine
Bells 5-2 in front of a hostile San Jose crowd
on Tuesday the teams rst win against the
West Catholic Athletic League powerhouse in
more than 15 years.
It was very intense, Charles said. They
knew when they went in they had a great
chance to win given how we did against them
(Bellarmine) last year. Physically, they knew
they could go shot-for-shot with those guys.
But mentally, we werent ready last year. We
werent there yet.
That all changed on Tuesday, Charles said.
In fact, it was the mental side of tennis that
propelled the Padres over the Bells.
When we jumped up 3-2, we felt we had
them. Bellarmine had their entire cheering
section out. But, those guys were really bat-
tling out there. They were all focused, Ive
never seen them so focused. At the end of the
match, I was speechless. For the rst time I
could not nd words.
The Padres received key wins at No. 1 and
No. 2 doubles.
Seniors Alex Frank and Joey Simpson,
along with juniors Brenden Barrows and
Gordon Barrows won in straight sets.
The other crucial wins came at No. 1, 3 and
4 singles.
Sean Talmadge, Peter Campana and Eric
Dennis all went three grueling sets to secure
the victory.
The win is crucial as Serra tries to capture
its rst West Catholic Athletic League title
since 1990. The Padres nished second in the
WCAL last year.
The win also keeps Serra unbeaten for the
season.
The Bells had not lost a WCAL team match
in at least the last four seasons and nished
second in the Central Coast Section and
Northern California tournaments last year.
On another Serra quick hit, it was a record
breaking Mt. Pleasant Relay for shotputter
Jonathan Beering. With only one week of
track practice under his belt, Beering broke
Tom Banduccis 41-year school record of 57-
10 with his put of 58-6.5 on a second round
throw.
The toss was not a complete surprise after
Beerings junior year campaign that saw him
nish second in the Central Coast Section and
14th at the CIF state meet. Beerings previous
best of 56-9.5 was set at CCS nals last year.
His throw on Saturday was the farthest by a
CCS shotputter since 2008.

Calgary Flames burn
past San Jose Sharks
By Antonio Gonzalez
OAKLAND Klay Thompson made the
go-ahead 3-pointer with 7.5 seconds remain-
ing and nished with 20 points to lead the
Golden State Warriors
past the Sacramento
Kings, 87-83 on
Wednesday night.
Thompson then forced
Tyreke Evans into an
errant layup on the nal
possession to seal a slop-
py win for the Warriors
over the Western
Conferences worst team.
After dropping the first
two in Sacramento this season, Golden State
overcame 18 turnovers and 36 percent shoot-
ing against its Northern California rival.
David Lee had 17 points and 10 rebounds,
and rookie Harrison Barnes added 14 points
for the Warriors, who are 2-0 since a four-
game losing streak. They held the Kings to 40
percent shooting and forced 15 turnovers.
Jason Thompson had 17 points and eight
rebounds, and Patrick Patterson added 15
points for Sacramento, which has lost 11 of its
last 13 games. DeMarcus Cousins had ve
points and four rebounds and sat out the entire
fourth quarter.
The long-range shot bailed out the Warriors
again.
Stephen Curry came off a pick-and-roll and
made a 3-pointer to give Golden State an 82-
78 lead with a little more than 2 minutes
remaining. The Warriors stopped Sacramento,
but then had a shot-clock violation just before
Jarrett Jacks layup.
Jason Thompson hit a jumper and Patterson
followed with a 3-pointer in front of the
Warriors bench to put the Kings ahead 83-82.
Patterson mouthed a few words and icked
three ngers back at Golden States bench as
he skipped down court.
The Warriors then blew two chances to tie
or take the lead. Jack missed a 3-pointer on the
rst one, and Klay Thompson missed an open
jumper after another stop and timeout.
The third time proved to be the charm.
Toney Douglas missed a difcult shot in the
face of a defender, Andrew Bogut corralled
the rebound and the Warriors called timeout.
Lee found Thompson standing in the corner,
and the second-year guards swish gave
Golden State an 85-83 lead, holding his hand
in the air as the sold-out crowd announced at
19,956 roared to its feet.
Evans missed a difficult layup in
Thompsons face, Draymond Green grabbed
the rebound and made both free throws to seal
the victory. While it was sloppy at best, the
Warriors will take every win they can get as
they look to remain a playoff contender.
The matchup of bruising big men turned
into an afterthought.
Bogut, starting for the second straight game
after sitting out the previous six with back
spasms, only played in spurts and deferred to
his teammates on offense. He nished with
two points and eight rebounds in 28 minutes.
Cousins picked up two fouls in the rst 10
minutes, sat the rest of the half and often
looked disinterested. During one timeout in
the second quarter, he watched the in-house
band instead of joining the Kings huddle.
Cousins, who had eight points on 1-for-12
shooting in a home loss against Denver a night
earlier, nished 2 for 10 from the oor.
With more room to move on the oor, Jack
and Klay Thompson each made two 3-point-
ers and Curry added another to highlight a 20-
6 run in the rst quarter that gave Golden State
a 26-16 lead. The Warriors started 5 of 9 from
beyond the arc.
Sacramento answered with a 15-5 spurt
capped by Douglas layup and 3-pointer mid-
way through the second quarter. The Kings led
44-41 at the break.

THE ASSOCIATE DPRESS
CALGARY, Alberta Miikka Kiprusoff
made 32 saves in his return from a knee injury
to lead the Calgary Flames to a 4-1 victory
over the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night.
Blake Comeau scored the tiebreaking goal
early in the third period. Jarome Iginla,
Roman Cervenka and Curtis Glencross (into
an empty net) also scored for Calgary, which
improved to 4-1-1 in its last six games.
Joe Thornton had the only goal for the
Sharks, who are 2-6-1 in their last nine.
Kiprusoff returned to the lineup after miss-
ing 13 games with a sprained knee. The 36-
year-old goalie was injured in the second peri-
od of Calgarys 4-1 win over the Red Wings
on Feb. 5. Calgary went 6-5-2 during his
absence.
Kiprusoff was busiest in the third as the
Sharks had the periods only two power plays
and outshot Calgary 17-6. But they couldnt
beat Kiprusoff, who began his NHL career
with the Sharks 12 years ago.
Calgary took a 2-1 lead at 2:57 of the third
when Comeau burst down the right wing and
snapped a shot inside the far post, past San
Jose goalie Thomas Greiss.
It was Comeaus rst goal this season and
just his second in the last 41 games, dating to
last season.
Less than 2 minutes later, Iginla scored his
sixth goal in the last ve games by ripping a
shot past Greiss from the slot after being set
up by Jiri Hudler.
The Flames took a 1-0 lead at 4:27 of the
rst period, before the Sharks had put their
rst shot on Kiprusoff. A shot by defenseman
Jay Bouwmeester was stopped by Greiss, but
the rebound kicked out to Cervenka, who
scored his rst goal in nine games.
Greiss was making his rst start for the
Sharks in 10 games. Anntti Niemi was given
the night off after beating the Vancouver
Canucks on Tuesday night.

SEATTLE For a change, talk-
ing about Pac-12 womens basket-
ball from a national perspective
doesnt stop after mentioning No. 4
Stanford.
R i g h t
behind the
Cardinal, and
sharing the
c onf e r e nc e
title this year,
is rapidly
i mp r o v i n g
and fifth-
r a n k e d
Ca l i f or ni a .
Not too far
back are No.
14 UCLA and the surprise of the
season, No. 18 Colorado. Even
recently downtrodden Washington
is showing signs of resurgence and
is on the verge of a 20-win season.
While the top to bottom depth of
the Pac-12 could still use improve-
ment, the coaches see the league
becoming stronger and receiving
more worthy recognition.
The depth of the conference will
get a chance to showcase itself this
week when the Pac-12 tournament
moves out of Los Angeles and gets a
four-day billing at KeyArena in
Seattle.
Stanford, California, UCLA and
Colorado all received first-round
byes. The tournament begins on
Thursday with fifth-seeded
Washington facing No. 12 Oregon;
No. 6 Utah vs. No. 11 Arizona; No.
7 USC vs. No. 10 Oregon State and
No. 8 Washington State vs. No. 9
Arizona State.
My hope this weekend and mov-
ing forward is because of the televi-
sion coverage and the timing of it,
its going to help the NCAA selec-
tion committee. It will give us a
good look, Arizona State coach
Charli Turner Thorne said. A few
years ago when we talked endlessly
to have it or not, the biggest reason
was to allow teams to get a few
more wins that were on the bubble
and showcase ourselves for seed in
the NCAA tournament. Were really
positioned well for that now with
how things are structured.
As conference tournaments begin
around the country, the Pac-12 is
one of two along with the SEC
with four teams ranked in the top
18 nationally. The last time the con-
ference ended the season with four
teams ranked in the nal AP poll:
1981. Five times since 2001, the
conference ended the season with
just one ranked team, including
Stanford last season.
Colorado is clearly the surprise of
the four ranked teams. Colorado
was picked to nished ninth in the
preseason conference poll.
Its always our goal to be better
than anyone thinks we would be. I
knew at the beginning of the season
there was no way we would nish
ninth, Colorado coach Linda Lappe
said. But I knew we had to stay
healthy and get our young players
better and acclimated to the college
game and thats a huge reason we
were able to nished fourth.
Increasing exposure and recogni-
tion nationally for Pac-12 womens
hoops was one of Larry Scotts ini-
tiatives when he took over as con-
ference commissioner. A big help in
increasing that exposure was the
development and launch this year of
the Pac-12 Network, which regular-
ly made games available on a
national platform. Combining that
bump in how many games are being
seen with the teams doing their part,
and the end result is more national
attention on the Pac-12 than has
been seen for quite some time.
We certainly had a view and a
belief that Pac-12 womens basket-
ball was under leveraged and was
not getting the respect nationally
that it deserved, Scott said.
Along with separating itself from
the mens tournament and getting
out of Los Angeles where there was
minimal interest, the tournament
was bumped up by a week, giving it
premier billing on the West Coast
and more time for the NCAA selec-
tion committee to look over team
resumes.
There wont be any debate about
NCAA bids coming to Stanford,
California, UCLA or Colorado. A
Stanford-California matchup in the
conference title game could deter-
mine a No. 1 seed in the NCAA
tournament and which team gets to
stay on the West Coast with the
regional in Spokane, Wash.
We know we put ourselves in a
pretty good position to get a really
good seed in the NCAA tourna-
ment, California coach Lindsay
Gottlieb said. Were focused on
winning the Pac-12 tournament,
thats important to us, and if that
leads to a No. 1 seed its pretty
incredible that were in that spot.
But that only comes if we play pret-
ty good basketball this weekend.
Washington could put itself back
in the NCAA bubble discussion
with a deep run, but a four-game
losing streak to end the regular sea-
son likely ended the Huskies hopes
of an at-large bid.
Then there is the rest of the eld,
none of which enter the tournament
with more than eight conference
victories and only Utah has a win-
ning record.
Its not like you have a No. 1
team and a No. 12 and there is a lot
of space in between, Stanford
coach Tara VanDerveer said. Its
compressed. There are a lot of good
teams in there.
Moving to Seattle puts the tourna-
ment in a womens basketball
hotbed, although just how strong the
public response will be remains to
be seen. The conference has part-
nered with Force 10 Hoops, the
owners of the Seattle Storm, to
operate the event. Coaches are
thrilled to be playing where the
games will be appreciated and not
just an afterthought as they seemed
to be in Los Angeles.
Im condent that its going to
be a lot better than it was in Los
Angeles, Scott said. How big and
how strong remains to be seen.
SAN FRANCISCO On top of
the NFL one season, out the door
the next.
The San Francisco 49ers released
six-time Pro Bowl kicker David
Akers on Wednesday, ending a two-
year run of record-breaking highs
and frustrating lows. General
Manager Trent Baalke thanked
Akers in a statement, calling the
kicker a true professional who rep-
resented himself and this organiza-
tion with class.
We wish him, and his family, all
the best, Baalke said.
Akers appeared in all 32 regular-
season games and ve playoff con-
tests the past two seasons, including
San Franciscos 34-31 loss to the
Baltimore Ravens in the Super
Bowl on Feb. 3. He connected on 73
of 94 eld goal attempts and all 78
extra points.
In 2011, Akers set NFL records
with 44 eld goals made and 52
attempted. He also tied the league
mark for the longest made when he
kicked from 63 yards in the season-
opening win at Green Bay last year,
bouncing the ball off the crossbar
and through the upright.
But Akers made just 29 of 44
attempts last season, his lowest per-
centage since 1999. That included
two potential game-winning kicks
in separate overtime games against
the St. Louis Rams, leading to a tie
and a 49ers loss.
Akers, now 38 years old, particu-
larly struggled from long range. He
finished the season 9 of 19 on
attempts from 40 yards or more.
The 49ers even brought in Billy
Cundiff to compete against Akers
before the divisional-round playoff
and NFC championship game.
Niners coach Jim Harbaugh
decided to stick with Akers anyway.
Akers hit the left upright on his only
attempt in the NFC title game and
made three eld goals in the Super
Bowl. However, he missed a 39-
yard try that was called back
because the Ravens were agged for
running into the kicker.
The left-footed Akers later
revealed he underwent double her-
nia surgery in February 2012 then
re-aggravated the area during the
season when he slipped on the eld
during practice. After a Nov. 25
game at New Orleans, Akers
returned to the doctor in
Philadelphia who performed the
surgery to receive an injection.

49ers release struggling kicker David Akers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
David Akers, right, was a six-time Pro Bowl kicker who struggled in 2012.
I knew we always had one last burst in us,
Loew said. It doesnt matter what the decit
was. We could have been down 20, we can
still come back with this team. I was really
happy with the effort out there.
We had a few good buckets there, but
theyre a good team and they battled right
back, Haupt said. They battled for every 50-
50 ball and they got every one. That makes a
big difference.
A winning difference actually. The Cougars
turned up the intensity from there, outscoring
the Panthers 10-3 and more importantly, out-
hustling and out-working Burlingame to key
rebounds and loose balls. And during the
game, Campolindo did an exceptional job of
slowing Haupt down. He nished with only
11 points.
The closed out very well on shooters,
especially Connor, and that really bothered
us, Floro-Cruz said. Theyre a great team.
They switched very well and they pushed
me out of my range, Haupt said. I was two
to three feet behind the 3-point line on most of
my shots. Its a lower percentage shot when
youre that far out. They played great
defense.
Campolindo held a 23-18 lead at the half
and 39-38 advantage after three quarters.
The Panthers nish the season 21-10.
I loved being a Panther, Haupt said in this
nal game in the red and white. I couldnt be
happier with the way my senior season went.
We have a lot to be happy about.
On the girls side, the Modesto defense was
as good as advertised.
The Crusaders got the Lady Panthers com-
pletely out of their groove, holding them to 13
of 59 shooting from the eld (22 percent)
including 1 of 14 from beyond the arc.
We shot the ball terrible, said Burlingame
girls head coach Bill Lepaltak. They outre-
bounded us. We didnt play very well. We
were down ve in the third quarter and they
hit a couple of 3s. We didnt shoot the ball
good enough tonight. Defensively ... we did-
nt rebound well and our guards broke down.
We talked about the way we wanted to play
defense and our guards went up too high.
The rst quarter was a preview of things to
come with the teams combining for just 12
points (Modesto 7, Burlingame 5).
But the Crusaders found a little rhythm in
the second and the Panthers simply did not.
Burlingame shot 5 of 28 from the oor and
trailed 22-13 at the half.
The nine-point deficit was cut to four
behind Lauren Rally, Nora Gustafson and
Nina Newman in the third quarter, 26-22, but
the Crusaders put together an 18-5 stretch that
put the game away.
Were 28-3, Lepaltak said. One loss
doesnt take away from all that. The kids hurt
because they wanted to go out playing their
best game and they didnt. And the coach
wanted to do out coaching his best game and
he didnt either.
In other CIF Northern California action, El
Camino got 25 points from Elijah White and
19 from Michael Smith to defeat No. 9
Rocklin 72-60. ... The Menlo boys defended
home court against St. Marys and won 60-54.
... The Menlo girls once again jumped out to
big lead in the rst half and then coasted to a
55 -40 victory against Moreau Catholic. ...
Menlo was led by Drew Edelman and Lauren
Lete who scored 28 and 15 points respective-
ly. ... Edelman also chipped in 13 rebounds. ...
Half Moon Bay boys saw their season come to
a 55-52 end against Liberty Ranch. ... Sacred
Heart Prep girls made easy work of Anderson.
crushed a deep drive to left. The ball cleared
the wall for an apparent home run. However, it
bounced off a metal shack beyond the fence
and back into the eld of play, and was ruled a
live ball as if it had not left the yard. The Dons
ultimately left the bases loaded, scoring no
runs in the inning.
In the third, Aragon once again seemed to tie
it up. However, this time it was El Caminos
defense not the umpire that intervened.
The Dons got on the board when cleanup
hitter Chris Davis doubled home Severson,
with Davis advancing to third on a throw to the
plate. Hughes followed with a towering y ball
down the line in medium-deep left eld, but
the left elder Rios red a cannon-shot home
to cut down Davis at the dish, denying Aragon
the would-be tying run on what appeared to be
a gimme sacrice y.
Any time Im in that in situation, Im not
looking to [throw to the cutoff man], Im look-
ing to throw the guy out, Rios said. Me and
[catcher Evan Giacomino] usually have a good
connection going. He made a great catch and I
just tried to get the ball there as soon as I could
and let him do everything else.
El Camino had several early chances to
extend its lead. But the Colts stranded eight
runners over the rst four innings, including
leaving the bases loaded in the rst and the
second. In the second, the Colts loaded the
bases with no outs and the heart of their order
due up, but failed to get the ball out of the
ineld through the rest of the inning.
In the fth, Eclevea seemed to be cruising
on the mound for the Colts. The right-hander
got two quick outs. After Severson blooped a
single to right, Davis hit a chopper down the
third-base line that turned into a tricky hop
over the bag for Colts third sacker Nick
Moisant.
The senior picked the ball cleanly and had
the third out of the inning in his sights, but an
errant throw to rst allowed Davis to reach,
setting the table for Hughes.
With Hughes coming to the plate and the go-
ahead run on base, El Camino manager Victor
Messer opted to stick with Eclavea on the
mound. Eclavea has been the Colts workhorse
this season, pacing the staff in innings
pitchedthus far.
Eclavea is our workhorse, Messer said.
Hes our guy. So were going to stick with
him, and win or lose, were going to ride him.
But on his 79th pitch of the afternoon,
Eclavea grooved a fastball across the letters in
a fastball count that Hughes launched over the
wall in right-center for what proved to be the
game-winner.
(It was a) 2-0 count, and I was looking for
a fastball the entire way, Hughes said. I saw
my pitch right there, a nice inside (fastball)
right at the chest. Thats my pitch right there.
Aragons bullpen did the rest, facing just one
over the minimum through the nal three
innings, including a six-up and six-down per-
formance by the big southpaw Carey, before
Severson closed it out in the seventh.
[Carey] shut the door, Souza said. He did
a great job. We really needed that. We jumped
on the lead, and you need someone to go out
there and take care of it like that.
Next up for both squads El Camino trav-
els to Archbishop Riordan, Friday at 3:15 p.m.
while Aragon travels to Fremont to take on
Washington, Saturday at 1 p.m.

FARO, Portugal When the U.S. women
get rolling, watch out.
Abby Wambach got her 154th goal, leaving
her four shy of Mia Hamms all-time record,
and Rachel Buehler scored in her 100th
appearance as the Americans rebounded from
a sluggish first half to beat Iceland 3-0
Wednesday in the opener of the Algarve Cup.
Shannon Boxx also scored for the Olympic
champions, who got all three goals and 12 of
their 18 shots in the second half.
The U.S. will play Friday against China,
which drew 1-1 with Sweden on Wednesday in
the other Group B game. In Group A, Norway
beat Japan 2-0 and Denmark and Germany
tied 0-0. In Group C, host Portugal beat Wales
2-0 and Mexico beat Hungary 1-0.
The Americans struggled to find their
rhythm in the rst half, and needed a diving
save by Jill Loyden on a header inside the
penalty area to avoid falling behind in the 19th
minute.

Goodell: NFL can and
must make football safer
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. NFL
Commissioner Roger Goodell says the league
will continue to do everything we can to
make football safer.
Player safety in the NFL has been a fre-
quent topic of conversation recently and
Goodell discussed it again Wednesday during
a lecture and question-and-answer session at
the department of exercise and sport science
at the University of North Carolina.
We know that in order to secure the future,
we can and must do more to make the game
safer, and in the process, we will make other
sports safer as well, Goodell said.
Goodell called for a culture of safety for
every sport and welcomes the national con-
versation about player safety and the growing
issue of concussions.
The NFL is facing concussion-related law-
suits from thousands of former players. In a
series of interviews about head injuries with
The Associated Press in December 2011, 31
of 44 players said they wanted the league to
have independent neurologists at games.

Many Americans have embraced outdoor
decorating, filling their yards with fluffy
sofas, gleaming end tables and even outdoor
rugs.
But what happens when the sun goes down?
Chris Lambton, landscape designer and
host of HGTVs Going Yard, advises his
clients to give as much thought to the lighting
of their outdoor space as they do to the fur-
nishings.
Forget yesterdays glaring porch light, he
says. You can now choose from a wide range
of much subtler lighting options. Many are
inexpensive and stylish enough to quickly
turn a basic patio into a chic entertaining
space.
Here Lambton and two other outdoor deco-
rating experts Los Angeles-based design-
ers Jeff Andrews and Brian Patrick Flynn
offer advice on the newest, most attractive and
safest options for outdoor lighting.
INDULGE YOUR INDOOR STYLE
Many indoor furniture designs and fabrics
are now available as outdoor items, Lambton
says, and the same goes for lighting.
Companies are creating outdoor versions of
their most popular indoor lamps and xtures.
Flynn is a fan of outdoor chandeliers on
patios or decks that are covered: Theyre an
excellent way to make any humdrum outdoor
space feel like an actual room.
But, he says, choose wisely: To get them
right, youve got to take scale and proportion
into consideration. Install one thats too small,
and it will look like an afterthought. Install
one thats too big or hangs too low, and it will
completely overwhelm the space.
Flynn also recommends using oor lamps
and table lamps designed for outdoor use.
Prices vary widely (from more than $1,000 to
less than $100), so he suggests hunting online
for deals and the perfect style.
Another option: Create your own outdoor
xture. Many electricians can rewire your
favorite indoor lighting to be safely used out-
side, Lambton says. Search for whatever x-
ture you like, he says, then put an outdoor
conduit in and attach it to a switch.
GO VINTAGE
Vintage is always a key to good lighting,
Andrews says, indoors and outdoors.
Recently I got these really cool, inexpen-
sive Moroccan lanterns with a vintage look.
Rather than simply displaying them on a
table, he hung them from outdoor branches. I
had them wired for outside and hid the wires
in the trees, he explains.
When the vintage lanterns glow from the
tree branches at night, it gives the yard a
romantic and kind of European feel.
FORGET THE FLOOD LIGHT
Rather than one or two bright porch lights,
all three designers suggest using a variety of
softer lights.
Lambton has used faux stone blocks with
LED lights hidden inside, alongside tradition-
al lighting. Flynn has done the same with illu-
minated planters.
Sneaking in ambient light in unexpected
ways is something I love to do, Flynn says.
In Los Angeles, I turned the middle of a fam-
ilys Los Feliz backyard into a full-edged
family room, comfy sectional sofa and all. To
bring light to the space, I used modern, plas-
tic planters that light up. They have cords on
the back of them, and connect to exterior out-
lets. Once turned on, a light bulb inside the
transparent plastic illuminates and the entire
area glows softly. This is so genius because it
requires no electrician whatsoever.
Even simpler options: thin strips of lights
that can be attached along the underside of
deck railings, or strands of lights in the shape
of everything from simple bulbs to stars,
hearts or jalapeno peppers strung overhead.
No matter which style of light you choose,
Andrews says, add dimmers to your outdoor
light switches. Everything in the world, he
says, needs to be on a dimmer.
GO BEYOND
YOUR DECK OR PATIO
Dont forget to light the far reaches of your

yard, Lambton says. It will make your property feel bigger and
banish the feeling of being enveloped by darkness when you
entertain outside.
It costs little to place a few small, solar-powered lights at the
bases of trees and shrubs. He also suggests attaching a few to
tree branches. And I love to uplight ornamental grasses,
Lambton says. It adds nice depth to the yard.
DONT FORGET THE FIRE
Fire pits of all sizes from huge outdoor replaces to small
tabletop containers provide golden, ickering light for your
outdoor space.
Display a collection of pillar candles in varying sizes (bat-
tery-powered or real), either clustered on their own or tucked
inside large, glass lanterns to add a bit of sparkle to your
yard, Andrews says.
Or create an outdoor chandelier with candles: I tend to try
my hand at rustic do-it-yourself ideas, Flynn says. In my
own outdoor dining room, I suspended a candelabra made
from reclaimed pine planks, rope, mason jars and tea lights
above the dining table. When my family comes over for pizza
night, it creates the perfect ambience.
COMBINE
SAFETY AND BEAUTY
Home improvement stores and websites offer a huge array
of options for lighting outdoor pathways and deck stairs,
adding beauty while making your space safer.
And what about the safety of leaving lighting out in all
weather? If its outdoor-rated, Andrews says, it should be ne.
But keep your climate in mind.

Education code requirements for compre-
hensive sexual health and HIV/AIDS preven-
tion education that are not met this year will
be addressed in eighth grade, Hungerford
and fellow co-Superintendent Suzanne Roy
wrote.
This year was supposed to be the second
year that the Belmont school was to use
Teen Talks curriculum. Last year, the pro-
gram caused a stir with many of the par-
ents. Parents of current seventh graders are
also concerned by the lack of communica-
tion and about the possible graphic nature
of how the topics are presented. School
administrators sent out additional informa-
tion via email earlier this week but parents
have some unanswered questions.
Communication was the main issue for par-
ents. Originally, a permission slip that was
sent out had little information about what
would actually be covered in the sexual edu-
cation program. A second permission slip has
since been sent out along with answers to
questions and concerns being posed by par-
ents such as: being uncomfortable with stu-
dents asking parents about the topics dis-
cussed, whether or not students will individu-
ally take part in a demonstration of how to use
a condom and the inappropriate questions
which can be submitted in the anonymous
question box.
By pulling the curriculum, the district is
hoping for a community conversation about
how to approach sexual health education,
according to the letter.
The board meets 7 p.m. Thursday, March 7
at Fox School, 3100 St. James Road, Belmont.

on the first floor that prompted hospital
staff to evacuate 29 rooms Tuesday
night before 11 p.m., according to
police.
After hospital staff extinguished the
small re, Stoyanov isolated himself in a
hospital room and was reported to be in
possession of a knife, according to
police.
Police attempted to negotiate with
Stoyanov and set up a tactical team
around the room. It took nearly two
hours, however, before he gave himself
up to police.
Stoyanov was arrested at about 1 a.m.
and no injuries were reported from the
incident.
The investigation revealed that in
addition to setting the small fire,
Stoyanov had also attempted to stab a
hospital employee during the incident,
Stoyanov was evaluated and cleared
by the hospital staff and subsequently
booked into San Mateo County Jail for
assault with a deadly weapon and arson.
The arson investigation will be jointly
pursued by the San Mateo police and re
departments.
Due to the quick action of those
responding, this incident was resolved
without serious injury to patients, hospi-
tal staff or the suspect, Dr. Susan
Ehrlich, the medical centers chief exec-
utive ofcer, said in a prepared state-
ment. The hospital is a county-run facil-
ity.
Hospital staff could not indicate why
Stoyanov was in the hospital and police
could not indicate why the man was so
agitated as to start the re to protect
Stoyanovs medical privacy.

In many parts of the country, you dont
have to look far to see cherry trees in bloom
in coming weeks. Still, more than half a mil-
lion visitors annually embark on a spring
pilgrimage to Washington, D.C., to see the
ones there.
Besides sheer profusion, those cherries
have history. They were a gift from Japan as
thanks for our help during the Russo-
Japanese War of 1905. Howard Taft was sec-
retary of war then; he was president when
the first cherry tree was lowered into the
ground in 1912 by his wife, Helen.
AGING TREES
Alas, no tree lives forever, and those orig-
inal cherries have been succumbing to age
despite efforts to coddle them along. It
wouldnt seem right to stick just any old
cherry trees into the ground to replace those
that fail. After all, these particular trees
symbolize a bond with Japan and have stood
witness to history. Besides, there are a num-
ber of different cherry species and varieties
not even all pink-flowered, or double-
flowered or weeping cherries are the same.
The 3,000 or so trees sent as a gift in 1912
were mostly Yoshino cherry trees. Yoshinos
are hybrids of unknown parentage, and
come in a number of varieties, among them
those with pink flowers and upright habit
(Afterglow), white flowers and weeping
habit (Pendula) and diminutive size and
weeping habit (Shidare Yoshino).
The earliest replacements for ailing trees
around the Tidal Basin were made in the
1930s and were of a Yoshino variety called
Akebono (Daybreak), which has double,
pink flowers.
THE CLONING SOLUTION
In recent years, efforts were made to
replace ailing trees with genetic replicas
of the originals. Such trees would be
exactly the same as the originals, only
younger. Genetic replicas are created by
cloning, which involves taking cuttings
from the original trees and rooting them
to make whole new ones.
Rooting cuttings from an 80-year-old tree
is not easy, because cuttings generally root
most readily from so-called juvenile wood.
Where do you find juvenile wood on an 80-
year-old plant? In sprouts near the base, the
original part of the plant.
Since not all of the original Yoshino cher-
ries were identical, efforts have also been
made to fingerprint them, using their
DNA to better identify and differentiate
them. The greater the genetic diversity that
is found the better, because a narrow gene
pool makes any planting more likely to be
wiped out by pest problems.
Some of those original cherries are not
even Yoshinos but so-called Japanese cher-
ries, another species with a similar range in
varietal characteristics. Kwanzan is perhaps
the most famous variety of Japanese cherry.
A BETTER CHERRY?
A few other ornamental cherry species
exist, and the one Id plant would be Higan
cherry. Unfortunately, Higan is not counted
among those trees originally set in the
ground around Washingtons Tidal Basin.
While cherries generally are susceptible to a
number of insects and diseases, Higan is one
of the most pest-resistant. It is also longer
lived, faster growing, and more tolerant of
heat and cold than the others.
Higan cherrys qualities do not sacrifice
beauty. Like other ornamental cherries,
Higan varieties show a range of ornamental
characteristics. For instance, the variety
Whitcomb has horizontal, spreading limbs
that each spring are dotted with pink buds
that unfold into almost white blossoms.
Pendula is a variety offering very early, sin-
gle pink blossoms on weeping stems.
Autumnalis is truly unique, not for its semi-
double pink blossoms that unfold in spring,
but because it often puts on a repeat per-
formance in autumn.
How to replace Washingtons famed cherry trees?
The cherry trees come in a number of varieties, among them those with pink owers and
upright habit (Afterglow), white owers and weeping habit (Pendula) and diminutive size
and weeping habit (Shidare Yoshino).

Coercion, the main element of human
trafcking, can take many forms.
Women stuck in brothels is the typical
idea, said Boeving.
But human trafcking can be children
in restaurants, nannies and hotel maids.
Hotels will hire a man with a van full of
maids who come, clean the rooms and get
back into van without getting paid, said
Boeving.
It is a crime that is right under our
nose and very well hidden, she said.
There are ways that people can be the
eyes and ears in the Bay Area.
Boeving urges people to think twice
about what is happening at their local nail
salons and massage parlors, which are
often fronts for prostitution businesses.
In a Tedx Talk she gave in San Mateo a
few years ago, Boeving marveled at the
number of massage parlors in Belmont.
There are 87 massage parlors, the last
time it was checked, for a population of
26,000 people, she said in the talk, part
of a global set of conferences that focus
on technology, entertainment and design.
Lets realize that there are many mas-
sage parlors that are actually fronting as
businesses where young girls are brought
in to be giving much more than a mas-
sage.
The problem of human trafcking is
not just one of foreign victims being
brought into the United States to be
exploited. Boeving gave an example of a
local girl who was growing up as a soccer
star in Los Altos who was pimped out by
her own parents in San Jose.
Purchasing power
Every person can affect human trafck-
ing with their wallet, said Boeving. Items
like chocolate and coffee are often pro-
duced using child labor, she said.
There are resources available for the
public to discover how their lives inter-
sect with slavery. Oakland-based slavery-
footprint.org allows people to answer the
question, how many slaves work for
you? Slavery Footprint takes a list of
someones purchases and shows them
which of their products were made using
modern-day slavery.
Human trafcking does not just appear
to be growing because it is more and
more exposed, but is actually expanding
rapidly, said Boeving.
Were facing the fastest growing crime
in the world, she said.
San Diego, Los Angeles and San
Francisco are all in the top 10 cities in the
country estimated to have the highest
human trafcking, she said.
Trained eyes
In San Mateo County, which is home
to the San Francisco International
Airport, rising community awareness is
helping to combat local human trafck-
ers.
Last month, two people were arrested
at La Quinta Inn in South San Francisco
for holding three women and one girl for
prostitution.
A hotel clerk, who had recently under-
gone human trafcking training, alerted
police after noticing a man check two
women into a hotel room one night, and
two different women into the same room
the next night.
The training that the South San
Francisco Police Department has done
for hotels near the airport has been a key
development.
[The hotel clerk] reported to the police
what he had been trained to recognize as
suspicious, said Al Serrato, San Mateo
County assistant district attorney. That
resulted in two defendants in custody.
The two defendants would be the rst
in the county to be tried under the new
human trafcking law Proposition 35,
which increased human trafcking penal-
ties.
Before the passage of Proposition 35
last year, trafckers were tried for other
crimes that were easier to prosecute,
including pimping, pandering, false
imprisonment and kidnapping, said
Serrato.
A human trafficking conviction
requires proof that the victims were
coerced, something Serrato said can be
hard to prove, as young or foreign victims
often grow to trust the perpetrators.
With the passage of Proposition 35
which has redened human trafcking
and increased penalties the county
could see more human trafcking prose-
cutions in the future, said Serrato.
Freedom House
Since it began in 2010, Freedom House
in San Mateo County has helped more
than 100 human trafcking victims.
Theyre in nail salons, theyre in
restaurants, theyre in private homes,
said Frances Byrne, deputy director of
Freedom House. That does happen right
here in San Mateo County.
Children are often trafcked by their
own parents who need money or drugs,
said Byrne.
One victim told Byrnes she was traf-
cked at age 9, when her parents sold her
to a gang.
These children are very, very vulnera-
ble, she said, adding that they are often
foster children.
Freedom House provides counseling
and an 18-month victim aftercare pro-
gram. The organization holds eight of the
just 529 beds in the country designated
for trafcking victims, said Byrne.
Betty Ann Boeving will be speaking at a
International Womens Day Human
Trafcking Event hosted by the American
Association of University Women. The
event is Friday, March 8, from 1 p.m. to
2:30 p.m., at the Burlingame Parks and

two buildings that city staff have rou-
tinely had to address, he said.
But now, the city wants a complete
outside assessment of the two buildings
to determine what work needs to be done
to keep their commercial tenants in
place, which include the Melting Pot and
brand-new tenant AdsWizz at the Transit
Center.
Other tenants that suffered water intru-
sion in December include Fletchs,
Beard Papas, So Thankful Clothing Co.
and Cold Stone Creamery at the Main
Street Parking Garage between First and
Second avenues downtown.
The city-owned buildings are only 10
years old.
Were looking to be a responsible
property owner, Bronson said.
The assessment will include an analy-
sis of the architectural, structural,
mechanical, electrical, plumbing and
water intrusion and seek corrective rec-
ommendations along with budget esti-
mates for the suggested corrective work
and a proposed timeline for completion.
A site visit is scheduled for March 13
and proposals are due by March 27.
Fletchs, the Chicago-style hot dogs
restaurant on Second Avenue, had some
windows leak and puddles form in the
restaurant in December. The damage
was not major, however, but is cause for
concern in the future, an employee told
the Daily Journal.
The Main Street Parking Garage is
unique, Bronson said, as it has parking
stacked on top of commercial stacked on
top of parking, Bronson said.
Water was still pooling in some areas
of the Main Street Parking Garage yes-
terday from rain earlier this week.
The garage has 82 parking spaces
underground and 251 parking spaces on
the upper oors. The Transit Center has
about 165 parking spaces underground.
The assessment will include a look at
all walls, doors, windows, the elevators
and the structural integrity of the foun-
dation.

pleasure. The fun is in the chase.

efforts are spent doing things for others, when it
comes time to divvy up the results, youll share in
what they gained.

presentation, try to isolate the key players, because
youll do much better and be far more dynamic
