Shifting adult school services in
California to community colleges,
as proposed by the governor, was
rejected by an Assembly committee
that instead wants the program
revamped.
In January, Gov. Jerry Brown
released a budget that focused on
education reform including a new
funding formula, called Local
Control Funding. It also proposed
putting the responsibility to offer
adult education with community
colleges rather than K-12 districts,
which currently
oversees the
program. On
Tuesday, the
A s s e m b l y
B u d g e t
Subcommi t t ee
on Education
Finance took a
u n a n i mo u s ,
bipartisan vote
to not shift adult education respon-
sibility. Instead, the committee
thought adult education should be
reworked.
Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla,
D-Concord, who chairs the
Assembly Budget Subcommittee on
Education Finance, was quoted in
the Sacramento Bee as being con-
cerned that Browns adult education
proposal would result in additional
cuts.
We want to send a message that
adult education needs to be rebuilt.
But, we dont want to in any way
lead to further undermining of those
programs, she told the Bee.
Locally, education leaders were
happy about the vote.

WASHINGTON The Senate
approved legislation Wednesday to
lock in $85 billion in widely decried
spending cuts aimed at restraining
soaring federal decits and to
avoid a government shutdown just a
week away. President Barack
Obamas fellow Democrats rejected
a call to reopen White House tours
scrapped because of the tightened
spending.
Federal meat inspectors were
spared furloughs, but more than 100
small and medium air trafc facili-
ties were left exposed to possible
closure as the two parties alternately
clashed and cooperated over propos-
als to take the edge off across-the-
board spending cuts that took effect
on March 1.
Final House approval of the meas-
ure is likely as early as Thursday.
Obamas signature is a certainty,
meaning the cuts will remain in
Senate OKs
$85B in cuts,
no shutdown
House approval of the measure
could occur as early as Thursday

Cops: Guard shot finger
trying to remove ring
PITTSBURGH A federal prison
guard has been charged with shooting
his own nger in a drunken attempt to
remove his wedding ring during an argu-
ment with his wife at their northwestern
Pennsylvania home, police said.
A criminal complaint said Bradford
police were called just before 9 p.m.
March 2 and were met by Alfredo
Malespini III, 31, who told ofcers he
was trying to get rid of his wedding
ring and decided to shoot it off. The
Bradford Era rst reported the shooting
on Friday.
The gunshot badly mangled
Malespinis nger, but didnt remove the
ring, police said.
At the time of the shooting in
Bradford, which is near the New York
border about 130 miles northeast of
Pittsburgh, Malespini was employed as a
lieutenant at the Federal Correctional
Institution-McKean, a medium security
prison a few miles away.
Vicky Moser, the executive assistant
at the prison, said she could confirm
only that Malespini remains employed
as a lieutenant at the prison, but could
not comment as to whether hes been
suspended or has otherwise taken
leave.
Bradford police Lt. Steve Caskey told
the Associated Press that he wasnt sure
of Malespinis employment status, but
as far as we know, he is still seeking
treatment in Erie.
Malespini was taken to UPMC Hamot
hospital where he was treated for the
gunshot wound and also for mental or
emotional issues, Caskey said.
Police have been called to the
Malespini residence a couple times
previously for domestic disputes, but
Caskey said he doesnt believe
Malespini had ever been charged with a
crime before.
On the day of the shooting, Malespini
had been drinking quite heavily
throughout the day and he and his wife
had been arguing throughout the day
about an affair he had had several
months ago, Caskey said.
Malespini has been charged with dis-
orderly conduct and was cited for ring
a weapon within city limits but also is
charged with reckless endangerment, a
second-degree misdemeanor punishable
by up to two years in prison. Thats
because the bullet Malespini red could
have endangered someone else, Caskey
said.
He was out on his back deck, he was
outside...the bullet could have been red
in a direct line with neighbors houses,
Caskey said.
Nobody else was hurt in the shooting,
and Malespini was neither armed nor
confrontational when police arrived.
The weapon was still there, but it was
not in his possession. It was lying on the
kitchen counter, Caskey said. There
were never any threats to any ofcers.
Mad about him: Hamm
a fan of Timberlakes style
BEVERLY HILLS Mad Men
star Jon Hamm is going mad over Justin
Timberlakes suit and tie the song and
the singers style.
Im a big fan of Justin Timberlake,
Hamm said in a recent interview. I think
hes a trendsetter, as they say. But hes
always been kind of a natty dresser.
The 42-year-old actor, who says he has
an appreciation for fashion, returns as
womanizing adman Don Draper when
season six premieres April 7 on AMC.
Seeing Mad Men style inltrate pop
culture from Taylor Swifts mod
minidress on the March cover of Elle
magazine to Timberlakes ode to old
Hollywood glamour with his latest hit,
Suit & Tie, is the ultimate compliment
for Hamm.
Its nice that our show has had that
sort of serendipitous resonance with
fashion, he said. I think its great. I
think its really cool.
As for Timberlake, Hamm believes the
pop star is a very fashion-forward kind
of guy, although the Grammy winner is
guilty of at least one fashion dont.
That one unfortunate picture of him
in that denim tuxedo excused, Hamm
said with a smile, referring to
Timberlakes all-denim ensemble at the
2001 American Music Awards.

As any Cinderella knows, if the shoe ts
wear it.
And Oakland resident Alison Sooter plans
to do that and more when the 17-year-old
takes a dream come true trip to Paris for a
shoe shopping spree after a stop at a San
Carlos shoe companys international head-
quarters for some design lessons and a few
pairs of ats.
The well-heeled adventure comes courtesy
of Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area which
provides dreams for ill children. In Alisons
case, the prompt is Hodgkins lymphoma. But
while her illness may be the reason she is
going to Paris now she is certainly not letting
it dene her or her vacation.
As of Monday, Alison didnt know too
much about what to expect from her trip other
than she was leaving Paris-bound from San
Francisco International Airport on Saturday
for a week of shoe shopping with her mom
and 14-year-old brother. What she was more
certain of was what kind of shoes she was
looking for.
Shoes for school and I kind of want shoes
for prom, she said, adding she is also in need
of some black ats.
After missing part of her senior year due to
a difcult course of chemotherapy, Alison is
enjoying being back in her regular routine
which includes looking forward to prom and
competitive swimming. Shes a little less ex-
ible and gets tired sometimes during swim
meets but Alison said shes been supported by
an awesome group of friends and is back in
the swing of things.
Alison isnt sure if anyone other than adults
know about her Parisian plans but joked if her
friends knew theyd be excited for me but
also secretly jealous
because theyd want to
go.
A friends trip to Paris
and the allure of the City
of Lights Its always a
party theme, a Night in
Paris, she said. Its the
place you think of when
you think of Europe
added to Alisons lifelong
desire to visit but she never thought shed go
until much later in life.
In the meantime, she honed her shoe desire
with trips to Nordstrom Rack to ll up carts
and try on possible additions to her closet.
Unique and funny-looking shoes catch her
eye although she doesnt know if she could
pull them off. Her collection includes a pair of
UGGs, a lot of moccasins and even slip-on
Toms although her narrow feet make those
challenging, she said.
Currently, she owns 21 pairs of shoes
although she concedes they dont all get regu-
lar use.
You cant wear high heels all the time, she
explains.
After Friday, she will have a few more pairs.
Prior to departure with her mom and 14-year-
old brother William, Alison is heading to San
Carlos to meet with the founder and design
director of LUV shoes. The companys inter-
national headquarters are in San Mateo
County and CEO Michael Toschi and Design
Director Caroline Cecil will show her shoe
design and creation from start to nish for
both his high-end leather mens footwear line
and the more mass market LUV.
Toschi said shell see how inspiration
becomes reality all the way through samples
and approval.
Shell know more about shoes than 99 per-
cent of people, Toschi said.
If Alison is excited about her trip, Toschi
might be equally stirred up about her visit to
learn about his world of shoe design.
The real joy comes from giving and on
Friday it will be just as much about me having
a good experience, he said. Its like a gift to
us and I think shes going to have a lot of fun
here.
Toschis connection to Make-A-Wish
Greater Bay Area is proof of the serendipity
and magic the nonprot brings about, said
Executive Director Patricia Wilson.
Wilson and Toschi struck up a conversation
on an airplane and, by the time it landed, he
was on board as its newest partner. The next
day, Wilson mentioned the encounter to her
staff and the program director mentioned for
the rst time in 14 years there was a wish
involving shoes.
The missions of both the company and
Make-A-Wish align well, Toschi said.
If youre a child that is dying or ill your
best weapon is motivation and hope and being
inspired to live, he said. And our companys
philanthropic section believes inspiration is
the greatest gift you can give another person.
But the giving doesnt stop there. Toschi
said Alison will be outtted with a few pairs
for walking around Paris and visiting its land-
marks like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre.
Maybe shell get those black ats after all.

County earns top
credit ratings in the state
San Mateo County is the only one of
Californias 58 counties to secure AAA ratings
from both Standard & Poors and Moodys rat-
ing services, which can be used to evaluate the
countys scal health, according to county
ofcials.
In a recent report, Standard & Poors cited
the wealth and depth of the countys eco-
nomic base and moderate to low debt levels,
resulting in part from a history of pay-as-you-
go capital spending among other positive
indicators.
These reports afrm what our residents
know: that San Mateo County provides excel-
lent public services while constantly watching
the bottom line, said Don Horsley, president
of the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors.
The strong ratings mean the county can bor-
row money at low interest rates to nance
major capital projects such as a new re sta-
tion and replacement jail project, saving tax-
payer dollars, according to county ofcials.
Standard & Poors noted the county has
eliminated 727 positions over the past four
years while at the same time winning voter
approval for a vehicle rental business license
tax and a half-cent sales tax, which takes
effect April 1.

SACRAMENTO In a move that is raising
concern about limiting access to public docu-
ments, California courts could charge $10 for
each record search under a proposal included
in Gov. Jerry Browns budget.
The governor included the search fee as one
of the ways the courts can raise $30 million a
year to offset budget cuts.
The judicial budget has been reduced by
more than $1 billion through cuts and transfers
over the past ve scal years, which has result-
ed in fewer courtrooms, construction delays
and an array of higher fees.
Media organizations and good-government
advocates worry that such a fee would restrict
access to les the public has a right to view.
Democratic lawmakers also expressed distaste
for restricting information to those who can
afford it.
Justice that suddenly comes with a big
price tag so that not all
newspaper reporters or
members of the public may
be able to get access to
court records, for example,
can mean justice denied,
said Sen. Loni Hancock,
D-Berkeley. We know
that, for instance, higher
fees for investigative
reporting could have pre-
vented those young journalists decades ago
who exposed the Watergate scandal.
Currently, there is no charge to search a
court le, although courts charge $15 to look
up cases that require a court employee to take
more than 10 minutes to search. Under the
governors proposal, a person could search for
free for a case in which that person is a party
but would be charged $10 for each additional
search.
We are supporting and proposing those fee
augmentations not because we regard them as
being sound policy, but out of a simple impulse
for self-preservation, said Steven Jahr, admin-
istrative director of the courts.
He said court ofcials would rather see the
Legislature restore $535 million to
Californias court system, which includes 58
trial courts, six courts of appeal and the state
Supreme Court.
Hancock said lawmakers are holding off on
the proposal until the governor updates his
budget in May.
Jim Ewert, general counsel for the
California Newspaper Publishers Association,
said the current system already allows the judi-
cial system to recoup costs from large data-
mining rms without restricting public access.
He said the proposal should be pulled regard-
less of how much extra money the state might
collect from recent tax hikes.
Theres a lot of people competing for those
resources, Ewert said. Im not condent that
the May revise will alter the courts position on
this.

LOS ANGELES Five former elected
ofcials of the small, blue-collar California
city of Bell were convicted Wednesday of
multiple counts of misappropriating public
funds by paying themselves huge salaries
while raising taxes on residents.
Former Mayor Oscar Hernandez and co-
defendants Teresa Jacobo, George Mirabal,
George Cole and Victor Belo were all convict-
ed of multiple counts and acquitted of others.
Former Councilman Luis Artiga was cleared
entirely.
The charges against the ofcials involved
paying themselves inated salaries of up to
$100,000 a year in the city of 36,000 people,
where one in four residents live below the
poverty line.
An audit by the state controllers ofce pre-
viously found the city had illegally raised
property taxes, business license fees and other
sources of revenue to pay the salaries. The
ofce ordered the money repaid.
The guilty ndings were related to the
appointment of the defendants to the Solid
Waste and Recycling Authority, an agency
that prosecutors had argued during trial served
no purpose other than to pay them a salary.

MILLBRAE Our
countrys economic
roller-coaster ride
has been interesting
and historic for
sure, but also very
troubling for many
families whove not
been as financially stable as others.
Recently though Ive been observing a
phenomenon with those we serve at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. It may
be too early to confirm, but it appears that
there is a general state of confidence with
many families, along with the decisions and
choices they make during funeral
arrangements. Yes, I know you are thinking
that confidence is not a term you would
use to coincide with funeral arrangements,
but it appears to me that people I see are
tending to be more financially assured than
during the deepest years of The Great
Recession.
They say that the two things you cant
avoid are death and taxes. With that in
mind, during the economic downturn I saw a
very noticeable sense of thrift and
prudence with a lot of families who
experienced a death during that period.
Still, those who tended to cost shop at
various funeral homes selected CHAPEL
OF THE HIGHLANDS to handle funeral or
cremation arrangements. These families
found comfort with our service, and notably
with our more economic cost structure.
Now, lately the trend with families and
their funeral choices reminds me of the days
way before the recession hit. Its not that
people are utilizing their funds differently,
spending more or spending less, but that
they are more assertive and confident when
using their wallet. Seeing this over and over
gives me a good indication that something in
the economic climate is changing compared
to not that long ago.
Even though many of our honorable
elected officials in Sacramento and
Washington D.C. appear to be as inflexible
with economic issues as always, the air of
confidence with the families Ive been
dealing with means to me that these people
are feeling less pressured financially.
It is well known that when businesses do
well they hire more employees, and when
those employees are confident they will
spend their money on goods and services.
In turn, the companies that provide goods
and services will need competent employees
to create more goods, give more services,
and so onmaking a positive circle for a
healthy economy. In relation to that, after a
long period of U.S. manufacturing jobs
being sent over-seas there is news of a
growing number of companies bringing this
work back to the United States. Real Estate
values on the Peninsula remained in a good
state during the recession, but houses here
are now in demand more than ever.
Encouraging Hopeful and Positive
are words to describe the optimistic
vibrations that people are giving off. If the
community is becoming more comfortable
with spending, that indicates good health for
business and the enrichment of our
economic atmosphere. I hope Im right, so
lets all keep our fingers crossed.

Burglary interrupted at home
in White Oaks neighborhood
in San Carlos, suspect at large
Sheriffs deputies are searching for a bur-
glary suspect who ran from a home in San
Carlos White Oaks neighborhood after
assaulting the homeowner who interrupted
the crime at approximately 11:20 a.m.
Wednesday.
The suspect, last seen running from the
home in the 100 block of Oakview Drive, is
described as a skinny Hispanic man in his
20s standing about 5 feet 5 inches tall with
short, dark hair.
He was wearing a black sweatshirt and
black pants, and was heading in the direction
of Alameda de las Pulgas, according to the
Sheriffs Office.
The homeowner sustained minor injuries
and was transported to the hospital for evalu-
ation, according to the Sheriffs Office.
Anyone with information on this crime
should contact the Sheriffs Office at 363-
4911.
Doctors to evaluate yacht theft
suspects mental competence
Two doctors will evaluate a Wyoming man
to determine whether he is competent to
stand trial in San Mateo County Superior
Court for allegedly stealing a yacht from
Sausalito earlier this month.
An April 30 hearing is scheduled on the
doctors reports on 63-year-old Leslie
Gardner, of Gillette, Wyo., San Mateo
County Assistant District Attorney Al Serrato
said.
Criminal proceedings against Gardner
remain suspended.
Prosecutors said Gardners attorney John
May expressed doubt last week about his
clients ability to participate in his defense.
Gardner has pleaded not guilty to grand
theft, receiving stolen property in excess of
$3.2 million, and vandalism in connection
with the theft of the 82-foot vessel Darling
from the Sausalito Yacht Harbor, believed to
have been taken early the morning of March 4.
He is being held in San
Mateo County Jail on $1
million bail.
Two other suspects, Lisa
Modawell, 56, and Dario
Mora, 54, both of Aptos,
were also initially arrested
in the case.
The couple, who were
dating, met Gardner
through a mutual friend in
Santa Cruz, and were driven with Gardner by
a fourth person to Sausalito, Serrato said.
The San Mateo County District Attorneys
Office decided not to file charges against
them because there was doubt about whether
prosecutors could prove they knew the yacht
was stolen, Serrato said.
The yacht was found when it ran aground
in shallow water near Linda Mar Beach in
Pacifica later the morning of the theft.
Sausalito police received a call from the
yachts owner, John Furth, of Santa Rosa,
who was watching news coverage of the inci-
dent and recognized the boat as his own.
The vessel was freed and towed to
Richmond for repairs.
Best Buy robbed at gunpoint
San Carlos police are searching for a man
who robbed a Best Buy at gunpoint
Wednesday afternoon, according to the San
Mateo County Sheriffs Office
At approximately 1 p.m., the man entered
the store at 1127 Industrial Road and walked
to a counter where he requested to look at
some electronics. An employee brought the
products to the counter and the man bran-
dished a handgun and told the employee to
move back. He then grabbed the goods and
fled out the front door, according to the
Sheriffs Office.
The man was described as 5 feet 11 inches,
160 pounds, 20 to 30 years old, wearing a
white jacket and blue jeans. He was seen
driving away in a black BMW with heavily
tinted windows, according to the Sheriffs
Office.

WASHINGTON The nations views on
gay marriage are more favorable in large part
because of a shift in attitudes among those who
know someone who is gay or became more
accepting as they got older of gays and lesbians,
according to a national survey.
The Pew Research Center poll also nds that
a large group of younger adults who tend to be
more open to gay rights is driving the numbers
upward. The issue has grabbed the national
spotlight recently with the public embrace of
same-sex marriage by Democrat Hillary
Rodham Clinton and Republican Sen. Rob
Portman of Ohio.
Weve certainly seen the trend over the last
ten years, Michael Dimock, director of the cen-
ter, said Wednesday. But were now really in a
position to talk about the combination of gener-
ational change and personal change that have
sort of brought the country to where it is today.
Overall, the poll nds 49 percent of
Americans favor allowing gays and lesbians to
marry legally, and 44 percent opposed to the
idea. Thats more people now favoring gay mar-
riage than opposing it. A decade ago 58 percent
opposed it and a third supported it.
The 49 percent who now support same-sex
marriage includes 14 percent who said they
have changed their minds.
When asked why, almost one-third say its
because they know someone who is gay a
family member, friend or acquaintance. A quar-
ter said their personal views have changed as
they thought more about the issue or just
because theyve grown older and more accept-
ing.
One of those polled said: My best friend
from high school is a gay man, and he deserves
the same rights, adding that his friend and a
partner are in a committed relationship.
Another person attributed the shift in attitude
to old fashioned ignorance, and said I grew
up a little bit.
Just 2 percent overall said their views have
shifted against gay marriage.
Another major factor in the long-term shift in
the publics view: the so-called millennial gen-
eration of young adults born since 1980
todays 18- to 32-year-olds who entered adult-
hood in the new millennium. The survey nds
70 percent of millennials favor same-sex mar-
riage.
Gay marriage has long been an issue of parti-
san political debate, but it resurfaced recently
with Clinton and Portman declaring their sup-
port, and as the Supreme Court prepares to take
up the issue.
On Monday, Clinton announced her support
for gay marriage lining up with other poten-
tial Democratic presidential candidates who
favor it.
In an online video released by the gay rights
advocacy group Human Rights Campaign,
Clinton says that gays and lesbians are full and
equal citizens and deserve the rights of citizen-
ship.
And last week, Portman reversed course and
said he now supports gay marriage. He said he
had a change of heart after he learned one of his
sons is gay. I have come to believe that if two
people are prepared to make a lifetime commit-
ment to love and care for each other in good
times and in bad, the government shouldnt
deny them the opportunity to get married, he
wrote in an op-ed in The Columbus Dispatch.
His reversal makes him the only Republican in
the Senate to back gay marriage.

VATICAN CITY Forgive Pope Francis
security team for looking a bit nervous.
One pope was shot in St. Peters Square
while riding in an open vehicle. Another was
tackled by a woman with mental problems in
St. Peters Basilica. So in the early days of
Francis ponticate, as the pope delights the
ock by wading into crowds and pressing the
esh, its only natural that chief Vatican cop
Domenico Giani seems on edge.
Just consider some of Francis acts of papal
outreach, which have all made for a refreshing
change from the reserved style of his prede-
cessor Benedict XVI, but present a huge
headache for a security detail attached to one
of the planets most high-prole people.
The day after his election, Francis
eschewed the Vaticans armored limousine
and traveled through the chaotic streets of
Rome in an ordinary car to pick up his things
at a downtown hotel.
At his rst Sunday Mass as pontiff, Francis
caused a stir by mingling with bystanders at a
Vatican gate, shaking hands and even allow-
ing himself to be grabbed by the shoulder, all
while people jostled to get closer.
Then on inauguration day, Francis stood for
nearly 30 minutes Tuesday in an open vehicle
that circled the vast square, kissing babies
handed up to him and at one point jumping
out to bless and kiss a disabled man in the
crowd.
Its not for nothing that Francis has quickly
been dubbed the unpredictable pope. And
for a bodyguard, unpredictable means trouble.
Giani looked particularly worried by the
crowd that gathered after the Sunday Mass.
La Stampa newspaper quoted an aide at the
scene as saying that things better get back to
normal or were in trouble.
Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico
Lombardi said last week that the Vatican was
well aware of Francis informal and open style
and that proper security measures would be
taken, even if that hasnt happened immedi-
ately.
There are a lot of nut cases out there, said
another Vatican official, who requested
anonymity as he is not authorized to discuss
security.

WASHINGTON Privacy laws urgently
need to be updated to protect the public from
information-gathering by the thousands of
civilian drones expected to be ying in U.S.
skies in the next decade or so, legal experts
told a Senate panel Wednesday.
A budding commercial drone industry is
poised to put mostly small, unmanned aircraft
to countless uses, from monitoring crops to
acting as lookouts for police SWAT teams, but
federal and state privacy laws have been out-
paced by advances in drone technology,
experts said at a Senate hearing.
Current privacy protections from aerial sur-
veillance are based on court decisions from the
1980s, the Judiciary Committee was told,
before the widespread drone use was anticipat-
ed. In general, manned helicopters and planes
already have the potential to do the same kinds
of surveillance and intrusive information gath-
ering as drones, but drones can be own more
cheaply, for longer periods of time and at less
risk to human life. That makes it likely that
surveillance and information-gathering will
become much more widespread, legal experts
said.
The Federal Aviation Administration recent-
ly predicted about 7,500 civilian drones will be
in use within ve years after the agency grants
them greater access to U.S. skies.

MONUMENT, Colo. The fatal shooting

answered the front door at his house high-
lights a troubling reality for the nations
judges, prosecutors and other legal officials:
At a time when attacks on them are rising,
its difficult for them to remain secure, even
when they are off duty.
Investigators do not yet know why Tom
Clements, 58, was shot around 8:30 p.m.
Tuesday at his home just north of Colorado
Springs. They could not rule out any possi-
bilities, including that it was a random shoot-
ing or that it was an attack related to
Clements job, authorities said.
While small in numbers, similar attacks on
officials have been increasing in the U.S. in
recent years, said Glenn McGovern, an
investigator with the Santa Clara County
District Attorneys office in California who
tracks such incidents worldwide. He said
there have been roughly as many in the past
three years at least 35 as the entire
prior decade. Revenge is usually the motive,
he added.

Pennsylvania school asks

BETHLEHEM, Pa. A Pennsylvania high
school wants its students to cut back on the
body spray.
Freedom High School in Bethlehem says
one of its students was recently taken to a hos-
pital after being exposed to Axe Body Spray.
Now, ofcials are asking students to stop
using it as a cologne or fragrance while
attending the school.
Unilever, which makes Axe, says it is look-
ing into the report.
The company says in a statement that the

should call the toll-free number on the back of

School ofcials say the affected student is

had or what chemical may have been
involved.

JERUSALEM Seeking a fresh
start to a strained relationship,
President Barack Obama and Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu on Wednesday demon-
strated solidarity on the key issues
that have stirred tensions between
them. The U.S. president vowed he
would do what is necessary to
prevent Iran from obtaining a
nuclear weapon, while Netanyahu
reafrmed that his newly formed
government seeks a two-state solu-
tion to Israels decades-long dispute
with the Palestinians.
Obama, in Israel for the rst time
in his presidency, also pledged to
investigate reports that Syria had
used chemical weapons for the rst
time in its two-year civil war. And
he sternly warned Syrian leader
Bashar Assad that use of such
weapons would
be a game-
changer, one
that could
potentially draw
the U.S. military
into the conict
for the rst time.
The Assad
regime must
understand that
they will be held accountable for the
use of chemical weapons or their
transfer to terrorists, Obama said,
standing alongside Netanyahu at a
nighttime news conference.
Expectations were low for a
breakthrough during Obamas visit
on any of the major issues roiling
the region. Instead, the president
was focused on reassuring anxious
Israelis that he is committed to their
security, and on resetting his rocky
relationship with Netanyahu. The
two leaders have been at odds over
Israeli settlements and Irans disput-
ed nuclear programs, and
Netanyahu famously lectured
Obama in front of the media in the
Oval Office on Israels right to
defend himself.
Compared with past encounters,
there was a noticeable lack of
uneasiness Wednesday, the first
time the two leaders have met pub-
licly after both survived elections
that will leave them stuck with each
other for the foreseeable future.
They traded jokes throughout a day
of side-by-side appearances. And
they repeatedly referred to each
other by their rst names, Obama
calling his Israeli counterpart by his
nickname, Bibi.
On Iran in particular, the two
leaders sought to show they were
united in their desire to prevent the
Islamic republic from developing
what Obama called the worlds
worst weapons.

Public employees should
not be allowed to strike
Editor,
In regards to the story Teachers give
green light to possible strike, in the
March 20 edition of the Daily Journal,
public employees government or
teachers should not have the right to
strike or have a work stoppage or slow
down. Essentially, these jobs have a
history of security and government is
subject to nite taxation. These
employees have to live within the gov-
ernment means. It is the Legislature
that passes on taxation and they alone
should be held accountable for public
nance of their operations.
If employees are unhappy with their
protected sector, then they can leave
and enter the private sector for jobs and
understand how uid their lack of secu-
rity really is. In addition, the state
should remain a right to work state and
no one should be required to pay union
dues unless they want to. Card checks
to establish a union should be disal-
lowed as the ballot should remain
secret to protect the decisions of the
voter. Card checks invade the privacy
of thought about a personal matter or
belief and should not become part of
our collective bargaining and public
policy labor law.
The most important ballot initiative
in a recent general election: Four states
Arizona, Utah, South Carolina and
South Dakota passed the right of
workers to have a secret ballot in union
elections. The passage ranged from
60.1 percent to 86.1 percent. It is clear
that workers want a right to secrecy
without intimidation by peers and man-
agement protection from threat, intimi-
dation and force, as well as protection
from proxies who use the same tactics
to require union membership.

Prescription drugs
Editor,
Everybody who has ever picked up a
prescription drug from a pharmacy has
received a personal prescription infor-
mation sheet which informs you of the
possible side effects and allergic reac-
tions you may get.
This prescription drug system is
upside down and backward. Your health
care provider, doctor, should have
this drug information with them at your
ofce visit up front so you, the patient,
can have the information to make an
informed decision on a whole range of
drugs as well as their side effects and
allergic reactions before your medica-
tions are ordered.
These personal prescription sheets
should cover only the drug trials,
proven side effects and allergic reac-
tions no tort lawyer language that

Forgiving W?
Editor,
Jeb Bush has now gone on record
stating that history may very well be
kind to his brother George W. Thats
possible, despite Ws record of getting
us into unnecessary, disastrous wars,
screwing up the economy, loading up
the Supreme Court with right-wingers
and a whole host of actions detrimental
to the country and the world at large.
Yes, brother Jeb may be right that W
may be forgiven as someone who was
lured into a position way over his head,
an ofce he was clearly unqualied to
hold and situations requiring intellect
and education he didnt possess.
The question remains, though: Will
those behind the W debacle be forgiv-
en? Will history look kindly on the
Rumfelds, the Cheneys, those rigging
the elections in Republican favor, the
U.S. Supreme Court that intervened
and gave the election to Bush instead
of Al Gore in 2000? And how kind
should history be on those who actually
voted for someone as clearly unquali-
ed for the U.S. presidency as George
W. Bush so obvious before selected
and so convincingly demonstrated
afterwards? How kindly should history
look at the religious right that made the
W phenomenon even possible (never
mind how unconstitutional it is to mix
religion and politics).
Who is really in a position to for-
give the victims of 9/11 and its after-
math, the dead and the maimed, as a
result of a terror action totally pre-
dictable and preventable?
If history forgives George W. Bush,
Im afraid we havent learned much
from his disastrous eight years in an
ofce he had no business holding and
for which an uneducated, gullible vot-
ing population should be held responsi-
ble as co-conspirators.

Letters to the editor
The Jerusalem Post
U
.S. President Barack Obamas
visit to Israel is being billed
by Washington insiders as pri-
marily a charm offensive. They have
suggested that the American leader
wants to communicate directly with the
Israeli people, voicing his strong sup-
port for Israel and its security.
Obama will no doubt praise the U.S.-
funded Iron Dome system, which oper-
ated so successfully during Operation
Pillar of Defense last November. It is a
powerful symbol of the unbreakable
alliance that both Israel and the United
States want to convey during the presi-
dents visit.
The White House has made it clear
that Obama will not be bringing with
him grandiose plans to jump-start the
long-stalled peace process with the
Palestinians. This represents a change
in Washingtons approach to a historic
presidential visit to the Jewish state.
In Obamas rst term, the assessment
seemed to be that it made no sense to
come to Jerusalem as long as negotia-
tions with the Palestinians were stalled
and the U.S. president could have no
tangible diplomatic achievements to
show the American people.
As the leader of the Jewish people,
who have been threatened with destruc-
tion by Irans leaders, Netanyahu wants
assurances that the US will launch a
military strike if necessary to prevent a
nuclear-armed Iran.
The Atlantics Jeffrey Goldberg quot-
ed several sources in Amman and Tel
Aviv saying that Israeli drones were
monitoring the Jordan-Syria border on
Jordans behalf and that military and
intelligence ofcials from the two coun-
tries are in constant contact, planning
for the inevitable chaos post-Bashar
Assad.
Israel is also concerned that a large
amount of arms including huge
caches of chemical and biological
weapons could fall into the wrong
hands.

Cleaning up
S
pring has now ofcially sprung which means, along
with hopefully the advent of consistent sandal weath-
er, the time has come to clean out the closets, wipe
off the shelves, do more than just push the dog fur balls
under the couch and make some hard decisions about what
unneeded items need tossing.
But why stop at the tangible pile-ups in ones domain? We
might all be well better served to do some assessment of
other things cluttering the environment and sitting around
past their useful date.
Lets start with cleaning up
our language. Sequester and
scal cliff are this years
shock and awe, overused to
the point of ridiculousness
particularly when a signi-
cant enough slice of the pop-
ulation couldnt even under
threat of pain and suffering
dene the terms or their rami-
cations. These words dont
necessarily warrant the
garbage pile, or even a minty
bar of soap in the mouth
upon use, but a trip to
Goodwill or some other
donation center is in order. Perhaps there they can be recy-
cled into uses that dont make the average persons eyes roll
back and their brain turn off. Even better although about
as realistic as holding onto that pair of jeans on the off
chance you shed ve pounds both political parties nd
common ground to avoid the need to ever warrant the terms
again.
A copy of Roe v. Wade and some history lessons apparent-
ly need a strong dusting off because the recent glut of
severely restrictive laws makes one wonder if current genera-
tions have grown lackadaisical in protective reproductive
freedom. The masses that once would not have stood idly by
while states like Arkansas and North Dakota implement fetal
heartbeat laws have moved onto important struggles like gay
marriage, which is laudable, but gaining rights is only half
the battle. The other half is keeping them.
The garbage pail is earmarked for starlets and actors who
cant get their stuff together and instead jumble up the air
with their antics and all-around stupidity. Many have tried
the recycling or even the personally repurposing route to no
avail; now its off to the landll because compost just seems
a little mean. This includes anybody on a show whose title
includes the words real housewives.
The reputations of way too many public gures could do
with a heavy steam cleaning or even scouring to do away
with the tarnish. Cases in point, disgraced cyclist Lance
Armstrong, former Alameda County supervisor Nadia
Lockyer and conservative Sen. Robert Menendez, chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who rumor has
it enjoys dalliances with Dominican Republic prostitutes.
One reputation that is beyond cleaning, xing or revamp-
ing is Anna Ayala, otherwise known as the Wendys chili
lady for the infamous scheme cooked up between her and
her husband to bilk the fast-food giant. After her 2005
claims of nding a severed digit in her chili were debunked
as staged and she went away on a four-year vacation at the
big house, Ayala hit the radar again by falsely claiming
somebody else shot her son in the ankle. Seems as a felon
hes not allowed to have a rearm so the logical answer is of
course to nger somebody innocent.
Another item not even t for a Freecycle website is the
coverage and reaction to the Steubenville, Ohio rape case
that riveted the court-viewing public and raised all kinds of
public outrage and debate over teens, small towns, girls who
drink, the football players who assault them and everybody
who felt the attack was proper social media fodder.
Afterward, CNN was knocked for portraying the convicted
rapists too sympathetically, Fox was slammed for broadcast-
ing the name of a sexual assault victim and one of the boys
lawyers offered up this gem on Piers Morgan that his
teenage client shouldnt be forced into lifetime registration
as a sex offender because at 16 he doesnt have a fully devel-
oped brain. Lawyer Walter Madison said his client shouldnt
one day at age 75 have to explain his younger selfs
actions. Hmm. State Sen. Leland Yee used a similar neuro-
logical explanation to successfully get California to eradicate
life in prison without parole for juveniles but even that
requires a 25-year baseline sentence.
And sometimes during a deep clean, things we all but for-
got about look fresh again with the perspective of a new sea-
son. Gun legislation. The Pope. Bangs.
So grab the mop and broom and do a little sprucing up.
The best part of spring cleaning is making room for a whole
new years worth of disorder.

Fear of a revived debt crisis in Europe
faded from the stock market Wednesday,
freeing the Dow Jones industrial average
to touch an all-time high.
After dipping Monday on concerns
that Cyprus would become the latest
European nation to stir scal chaos, the
Dow posted its second straight day of
gains.
Stocks traded steadily higher for most
of the day and spiked after the Federal
Reserve said it will continue with
aggressive measures to boost the econo-
my. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said
that Cyprus crisis posed no major risk to
the U.S. economy.
The Dow was up 44 points shortly
before the Fed announcement. It rose as
much as 91 points shortly after the Fed
released its policy statement at 2 p.m.,
touching an all-time high of 14,546 at
2:25 p.m.
The Fed said the U.S. economy has
strengthened after pausing late last year,
but still needs support from the central
bank. The Fed plans to continue buying
$85 billion in bonds per month inde-
nitely to keep long-term borrowing costs
down and spur investment. It also said it
would keep short-term interest rates at
record lows, at least until unemployment
falls to 6.5 percent.
Unemployment fell last month to 7.7
percent, the lowest in four years. The
Fed doesnt expect the rate to reach its
target until 2015.
The Dow closed up 55.91 points
Wednesday, or 0.4 percent, to 14,511.73.
Stock markets were little changed
Tuesday despite rising uncertainty in
Cyprus. Anyone watching would con-
clude that the market decided Cyprus is
overblown as an issue, said Brian
Gendreau, a strategist at Cetera
Financial Group.
Gendreau said traders had been con-
cerned about what precedent might be
set by Cyprus efforts to avoid a crisis. A
plan to seize money from bank savings
accounts was met with outrage and was
rejected Tuesday by the island nations
parliament.
The nations unusual status as an inter-
national nancial haven makes it an
unlikely roadmap for future rescue
efforts.
I think the markets going to start
looking at other things, he said.
Cyprus was negotiating with interna-
tional lenders, seeking support for its ail-
ing nancial system. Without a bailout
deal, Cyprus banks could collapse, dev-
astating the countrys economy and
potentially forcing it to exit the euro cur-
rency group. That could roil global
nancial markets.
Attention had returned to Europe this
week after several months respite, dur-
ing which traders focused on the
strengthening U.S. economy and drove
stocks to multi-year highs.
Over the previous two years, concerns
about a breakup of the euro currency
often dominated trading of U.S. stocks.
The jitters receded after central banks
provided enough extra cash to help prop
up Europes commercial banks.
Among stocks making big news was
FedEx. The shipping company reported
sharply lower quarterly earnings and
said it will cut capacity to Asia. FedEx is
seen as a bellwether for the broader
economy because air shipments are tied
closely to the pace of business activity.
FedEx sank $7.33, or 6.9 percent, to
$99.13.
Adobe soared after reporting strong
first-quarter earnings. The company,
which makes Adobe Reader and
Photoshop, said it has picked up more
subscriptions to online versions of its
software products. The stock rose $1.71,
or 4.2 percent, to $42.46.
In other trading, the Standard & Poors
500 index rose 10.37 points, or 0.7 per-
cent, to 1,558.71. The Nasdaq composite
index rose 25.09, or 0.8 percent, to
3,254.19.
The S&P 500 is just six points below
its all-time high of 1,565, reached in
October 2007. It is up 9.3 percent so far
this year.

Amazon CEO recovers Apollo engines from Atlantic
LOS ANGELES Rusted pieces of two Apollo-era rocket
engines that helped boost astronauts to the moon have been
shed out of the murky depths of the Atlantic, Amazon.com
CEO Jeff Bezos and NASA said Wednesday. A privately fund-
ed expedition led by Bezos raised the main engine parts dur-
ing three weeks at sea and was headed back to Cape
Canaveral, Fla., the launch pad for the manned lunar missions.
Weve seen an underwater wonderland an incredible
sculpture garden of twisted F-1 engines that tells the story of a
ery and violent end, Bezos wrote in an online posting.
Last year, the Bezos team used sonar to spot the sunken
engines resting nearly 3 miles deep in the Atlantic and 360
miles from Cape Canaveral. At the time, the Internet mogul
said the artifacts were part of the Apollo 11 mission that gave
the world one small step for man, one giant leap for
mankind.

LOS ANGELES Researchers at Hewlett-
Packard Co. have developed a way to put
glasses-free 3-D video on mobile devices with
a viewing angle so wide that viewers can see
an object more fully just by tilting the screen.
Glasses-free 3-D is not unique. Nintendo
Co. Ltd.s 3DS handheld allows video game
play in 3-D without glasses, but it requires
players to look straight into the screen with
their noses centered.
HPs researchers have found a way to make
images viewable in 3-D from angles up to 45
degrees from center in any direction up,
down, side-to-side or diagonally. That means
viewers can see a persons face with one ear
blocked from view, but reveal the ear by
swiveling the screen.
The companys ndings will be published in
the scientic journal, Nature, on Thursday.
The scientists used nanotechnology to etch
multiple circles with tiny grooves into a glass
layer of the display.
The grooves bend light in a way that allows
for 64 different points of view.

NEW YORK Oracle Corp. on Wednesday
reported at earnings for its scal third-quarter,
hurt by a drop in sales of hardware systems and
new software. Shares tumbled in after-hours
trading on the weaker-than-expected results.
Revenue from new software licenses and
online or cloud subscriptions, a closely
watched figure, fell 2 percent year-over-year
to $2.3 billion. The company had predicted
that number would rise by 3 percent to 13
percent. Hardware systems revenue dropped
16 percent. But while the hardware revenue
decline has been ongoing and expected, the
drop in new software licenses and subscrip-
tions was a surprise.
As one of the worlds largest makers of busi-
ness software, Oracles numbers help Wall
Street gauge the direction of corporate technol-
ogy budgets. When Oracles earnings are lack-
luster, its often a sign that companies are con-
cerned about the economy.
But Oracle also depends on international
markets for a major part of its revenue.
Europes economy is still limping amid worries
about unwieldy government debts and Chinas
economic growth has been slowing. That said,
Forrester analyst Andrew Bartels thinks it will
take earnings reports from other technology
vendors before it becomes clear whether the
problem is Oracle-specic or reects broader
demand. He thinks its likely both.

This wasnt exactly the welcome
the Aragon Dons baseball team was
hoping for in this their latest stint in
the PALs top division.
But its the welcome they got, thank
their Alameda de la Pulgas neighbors
and now PAL Bay Division rivals.
The Dons got off to a rough league
start, losing to an intense Hillsdale
High School team 15-8.
We just had more intensity, said
Hillsdale rst baseman Michael
Camel, who homered in Wednesdays
win. Once things happened, we just
wanted to keep it going. It all hap-
pened from the dugout, getting the
energy up and it just pumped us up
more. Its just amazing how we fought
back, started getting hits, played great
defense. Offense, defense, everything
just came together.
The Knights took an early 3-0 lead
off of Aragon starter Aldo Severson
before watching it disappear in the
bottom half of the frame and turn into
a 5-3 decit after two innings of play.
But come the third, Hillsdale
hulked up at the dish and dominated,
making the Dons pay for every single

Menlos Edelman goes out on top
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As athletes come up through the ranks of
the youth leagues to club to high school and
beyond, talent usually is the determining
factor in how far they can advance. Once
they reach a certain level, all the talent is
very similar, meaning the difference
between good and elite players is in their
mental makeup.
Having always been the tallest player on
her teams, Menlo School center Drew
Edelman has consistently worked on her
mental approach to the game. Literally
standing head and shoulders taller than just
about anyone else on the court, the 6-4
Edelman is used to having to play a differ-
ent game. Because of her size and strength,
she tends to get beat up a lot by players
without a lot of help from ofcials. They
see defenders bounce off Edelman and tend
to swallow their whistle, the common
thought being, Her shot wasnt altered,
must not have been a foul.

The best kind of picture day is
once again here.
The Commissioners Trophy,
awarded at the end of the World
Series every year, is back in town as
the San Francisco Giants continue
to celebrate their 2012 champi-
onship victory.
The World Championship Trophy
tour will stop in San Mateo on
Thursday, March 21 with the public
viewing scheduled for 1 p.m. and
ending at 3 p.m.
Both Commissioners trophies
(from the 2012 and 2012 World
Series) will be on display at San
Mateo City Hall, located on 330 W.
20th Avenue.
Its a unique opportunity for San
Mateo Giants fans to celebrate the
2012 World Series given that the
trophies are only coming to commu-
nities with a Junior Giants Baseball
League. According to the City of
San Mateo, the Giants selected San
Mateo because the Police Activities
League hosts such a Junior Giants
League.
Fans will have the chance to have
their photo taken with the trophies
while supporting their local Junior
Giants Baseball League through a
donation to the San Mateo PAL.
As proven by the tour stop two
years ago, there will be a large num-
ber of fans attending the trophy
viewing.
According to the Giants website,
the 2012 World Series champions
intend to accommodate as many
fans as possible. During the viewing
time period, fans can take photos of
the trophies with their personal
cameras up to a designated area
while waiting in line.
Once fans have reached that des-
ignated area, only the professional
photographers will be allowed to
take a posed photo of you or your
group.
Fans are advised to arrive early as
the line will be cut off, if needed, to
allow the trophies to leave at the
designated end time. A Giants rep-
resentative will assess and deter-
mine a cutoff point in line.
A fan who arrives during the des-
ignated viewing time is not auto-
matically guaranteed a photo with
the trophies. Fans are accommodat-
ed on a first-come, first-served
basis.

104-93 Wednesday night.
Tiago Splitter added 17 points,
Manu Ginobili had 16 points and
seven assists and fellow reserve Nando
De Colo had 10 points for San Antonio
(52-16), which is second to Miami
(53-14) for the leagues best record.
Stephen Curry had 24 points for
Golden State (39-31), which remains
sixth in the West. Harrison Barnes
added 13 points, Jarrett Jack had 14
points, David Lee added 10 points and

Golden State pulled within 92-87 as
Curry hit 1 of 2 free throws, but
Duncan threw in a running hook and a
jumper to give San Antonio a 96-88
lead with 2:37 remaining.
Duncan was 11-for-17 from the eld

13th game of at least 20 points and 10
rebounds this season.
Kawhi Leonard made his rst three

(fourth) are both among the top ve in
3-point percentage, but neither team
made a 3 until Ginobili knocked down
his second attempt with 10:30 left in
the rst half.
It was part of a greater emphasis on
defense by the Spurs.
San Antonio held Golden State to 49
percent shooting in the rst half while
forcing nine turnovers and blocking

Couture scored twice in regulation
and added a shootout goal, and Dan
Boyle netted the tiebreaker winner
in the San Jose Sharks 4-3 victory
over the Edmonton Oilers on
Wednesday night.
After Couture pulled the Sharks
within a goal on a power play at
6:50 of the third, Tommy Wingels
tied it at 9:15. San Jose snapped a
two-game losing streak with its sec-
ond victory in eight games.
Sam Gagner, Shawn Horcoff and
Ryan Jones scored for Edmonton.
The Oilers have earned eight points
in their last ve games.
The Oilers opened the scoring
midway through the rst period on a
power play. Nail Yakupov fed the
puck across the ice to Gagner, who
had time to tee up a slap shot from
the top of the circle that beat Antti
Niemi to the glove side. It was
Gagners 12th goal of the season.
Couture tied it off a rebound with
just under 6 minutes to play in the
period.
Edmonton regained the lead with
8 minutes left in the second period.
Nick Schultz picked up a pass as
he stepped on the ice from the
penalty box, raced in on a 2-on-1
and fed Horcoff.
The Oilers made it 3-1 early in the
third period when Jones stole the
puck from defender Matt Irwin
behind the San Jose net and hooked
around to send the puck through
Niemis legs.
Couture scored his 14th goal of
the season to make it 3-2, sending a
shot through traffic and past
Dubnyk, and Wingels tied it with a
quick wrist shot.

Brad Stevens is amused by all this talk of
parity in the NCAA tournament.
The coach who guided little Butler to the
national championship game two years in a
row wonders why everyone seems to be say-
ing all at once: Hey, theres some pretty good
teams beyond the glamour conferences.
Stevens remembers his rst basketball job,
as Butlers director of basketball operations in
2001, when the Bulldogs easily won their
rst-round game as a No. 10 seed. They
cruised past Wake Forest, an entry from the
mighty Atlantic Coast Conference, after lead-
ing 43-10 at halftime.
Yep, 43-10!
People at that time called those upsets,
Stevens said Wednesday. Now they call it
parity.
Its time to nd out just how evenly matched
these teams really are.
The prelims were wrapping up with two
more rst-round games in Dayton, plus a
glimpse of college basketballs future with the
official unveiling of the new Big East
Conference.
But, as everyone knows, the tournament
really gets started on Thursday.
Sixty-four teams. Thirty-two contests. All
going down in an exhilarating and, yes,
exhausting two-day mosh pit of hoops.
By the time its done late Friday, we should
have at least some answers to the most press-
ing questions: Can a 16th-seeded team beat a
top-seeded team for the rst time? Will the
selection committee look smart for inviting so
many of the so-called little guys at the
expense of more established programs? Will
the refs call more fouls than they did during a
low-scoring regular season that often resem-
bled wrestling more than basketball?
The only thing we know for sure is there
wont be a repeat champion.
Kentucky didnt even get an invite to the 68-
team party. Heck, the Wildcats season is
already over, snuffed out by Robert Morris
a school near Pittsburgh, not some guy known
as Bob Morris to his friends in the National
Invitation Tournament.
Hmm, maybe thats an indication of whats
to come in the NCAAs, after a season in
which no team established itself as a clear-cut
favorite.
I think its been pretty obvious throughout
the year theres a lot of parity in basketball,
said Saint Louis forward Dwayne Evans,
whose fourth-seeded team opens against No.
13 New Mexico State in San Jose, Calif.
Every day you turn on SportsCenter and you
see a bunch of upsets. But I think that pro-
vides a lot of exciting college basketball. And,
as a team, I think we have a legitimate chance
here.
Louisville coach Rick Pitino, whose team
was seeded rst overall after romping into the
tournament on a 10-game winning streak,
joined the chorus of those using the P word.
In his mind, the constant exodus of one-
and-done players from programs such as
Kentucky, which essentially has to start over
each season, has leveled the playing eld
more than ever before.
There are no longer the Kareem Abdul-
Jabbars or Bill Waltons or those great players
from Carolina and Duke Christian
Laettner and those people. It just doesnt hap-
pen, Pitino said. You take a Colorado State
with ve seniors, theyre every bit as good as
any of the number 1 seeds who play the game.
Parity, he added, has set in. Thats what
makes it so much fun. You really, really cant
pick who is going to win.
Maybe so, but the odds are, one of those
teams on the top line will emerge as the cham-
pion in Atlanta on April 8. Thats good news
for the Cardinals and the other No. 1 seeds:
Kansas, Indiana and Gonzaga.
Since 1988, when sixth-seeded Kansas won
the national title, only once has the champion
emerged from anywhere below a third seed
(No. 4 Arizona in 1997). More telling, the
team celebrating at the end is usually a No. 1
seed 16 times thats been the case during
the 24-year span.
So, while its not unusual for an upstart such
as Butler, George Mason or VCU to crack the
Final Four, the cream usually rises to the top
in the last game of the season.
Time to see if NCAA tourney really up for grabs
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SYRACUSE, N.Y. Syracuse has been under investigation
for possible NCAA violations, mostly in its basketball pro-
gram, for at least a year, according to two media reports.
CBS Sports.com, citing an unidentied source, reported
Wednesday that the school has received a letter of preliminary
inquiry from the NCAA.
The Post-Standard reported NCAA investigators have been
conducting interviews with Syracuse employees and former
employees. The newspaper said the investigation includes the
handling of former player Fab Melos academic eligibility.
In 2012, the star center was declared ineligible for the
NCAA tournament days before it started.
Same story they had last year at this time, coach Jim
Boeheim said in San Jose, Calif., before the Orange played
Montana in their opening game of the NCAA tournament. I
guess thats annual. I guess next year well get it again.
NCAA investigating Syracuse
mistake defensively and on the mound they
made.
We stopped playing catch and you cant make
mistakes against a good hitting team like Hillsdale,
bottom line, said Aragon head coach Lenny
Souza. We have a lot of talent on our team and
hopefully we can bounce back Friday. But, they
really took it to us. You have to tip your hat to them
and be disappointed in yourself for the mistakes
you made that cost us that many runs. You cant
give a team like that that much leeway. Theyre
going to make it hurt.
We played pretty solid defense, said Hillsdale
head coach Neal Donohoe. We stopped walking
people. We made them earn their runs more. Once
we made them earn everything, it was harder for
them to score runs and we kept putting pressure
(offensively).
The pressure started in the third after Aragons
Connor Ching put the Dons up 4-3 and then
Seversons single made it 5-3. Those runs were
scored off of Brandon Butcher who found himself
in the game after Aragon knocked out the Hillsdale
starter.
His afternoon started tough, but Butcher settled
down and tossed another four innings, holding the
Dons scoreless the rest of the way.
Mentally, Im just in there trying to throw
strikes, Butcher said. I know were a good hit-
ting ball club and they can rally with each other to
get runs. I was just trying to throw strikes, get them
to pop up or ground out really give my defense
a chance to make plays on the eld.
Weve used him out of the bullpen mostly, just
for that, Donohoe said. He can take a game that
seems like its going not the way we want it, calm
everyone nerves, he doesnt get rattled. Hes been
our steadying hand out of the pen.
The Knights surged ahead in the third, aided by
ve Aragon walks and errors and two hits, the
biggest off of Kellen Tsuruokas bat. By the time
the third frame ended, Hillsdale was up 9-5.
And they werent done yet. The fourth began
with a Taran Poss double that fueled a ve-run bar-
rage punctuated by Camels very long, opposite
eld, people-on-the-football-eld-look-out-below,
home run.
Runner on third, our goal is just to get that run-
ner in, Camel said. One out, just take our best
hacks and be aggressive. I just drove it far. It was a
mistake but it was a good mistake I guess.
Tsuruoka had another big double and Armando
Fajardos single plated run number ve. Hillsdale
added one more in the sixth on another Poss dou-
ble. In all, the Knights tallied 11 hits, were handed
11 walks and capitalized on six Aragon errors.
This is a young group, Souza said of his team.
I hope they learn something from it. Its discour-
aging. We just have to get better from it.

whose father was a diplomat for the Canadian
Government. She lived in the UK, the US and
Canada. She graduated from USF, Magna Cum

Psychology (National HonorSociety, AlphaSigmaNu).
She spent many years in the pharmaceutical industry
as a regional Sales Manager for Procter and Gamble
and worked for Ralph Lauren and Berlex Labs.
She was voted Top Ten in the USA by the American Business Womans Assn. in 1984,
and hosted a television show, Women Today (Emmy). Sherry is presently on the
healing team of St. Pauls Episcopal Church-Burlingame, the honorary Committee for
the Peninsula Stroke Assn., and board member emeritus for USF. She loves to sail,
cook and entertain and has a passion for working with the senior population. She feels
that they have much love to give and much knowledge to share.
Its denitely frustrating, Edelman said. It
came to a point where I had to control my emo-
tions. Last summer, my main thing was con-
trolling my emotions and not letting it affect
my play.
Playing the post, it becomes a personal
thing. I had to work on ignoring that personal
ght.
Edelmans mental makeup was put to the test
this season, all thanks to football. While mess-
ing around on the Menlo football eld before a
homecoming powder puff game, Edelman
went up to catch a football and came down
awkwardly on her right ankle re-aggravating
an older ankle injury that resulted in, as
Edelman put it, [I] ripped a bunch of liga-
ments.
No surgery was required but it delayed her
return to the basketball court. With a scholar-
ship to USC already in hand, Edelman was
looking to cap a brilliant prep career with a spe-
cial senior season. Now, she was getting off on
the wrong foot.
I lost all my cardio (conditioning). I missed
quite a few games, Edelman said. I wanted to
come back fast, but not too fast. I totally
thought it was going to affect my season. It
really took a lot out of me. At the beginning, I
didnt think I was going to be that great.
The wait was worth it for Edelman and the
Knights. Edelman averaged 20.5 points per
game and pulled down 13 rebounds per contest.
She also helped Menlo to its rst Central Coast
Section championship since 1995 and a spot in
the Northern California tournament seminals.
For her efforts, Edelman is the San Mateo
Daily Journals Girls Basketball Player of the
Year the second year in a row Edelman has
received the honor.
Having already established herself as a dom-
inating center and a Division I college prospect,
Edelman had only one more goal for her high
school career a CCS title. She knew she
would need help and the rest of the Knights
obliged.
Yeah, we wanted to get a CCS title. I
dont think we had accomplished everything
yet (during my career at Menlo), Edelman
said. Im the only one going to play in college.
I tried not to make it about me. Im going to
keep playing (after high school) and I wanted
to make sure everyone was united and having a
good time.
There were a lot of people Maddie
Price, Lauren Lete who could score.
People, for the most part, all improved.
Most of Edelmans improvement came
between the six inches between her ears. Her
dont take it personal attitude can be seen in
the number of games in which she fouled out
one, a 47-45 loss to rival Sacred Heart Prep.
The mere fact Edelman was available all game
long had an impact on the game, whether she
was dominating or not. There werent too many
games in which she wasnt dominant. Sixteen
times she scored 20 points or more. In the
rebounding department, she had 20 games of
10 boards or more and three times pulled down
20.
In the playoffs, Edelman stepped up her
game, averaging 23 points and 14.5 rebounds
in six playoff games. She had her best game of
the season in the CCS Division IV seminals
against Scotts Valley, when she scored a sea-
son-high 30 points and grabbed 24 rebounds,
also a season high. She followed that with a 23-
point, 22-rebound performance against Sacred
Heart Prep in the CCS championship game.
That (Scotts Valley game) was the begin-
ning of ve games where our team was playing
really well, Edelman said.
I think we went out with a bang and we
went further than anyone expected us to.

SCOTTSDALE San Franciscos Ryan
Vogelsong and Milwaukees Chris Narveson each
pitched six impressive innings Wednesday and the
Giants and Brewers played a neat 0-0, 10-inning tie
in a game between split squads.
Vogelsong, fresh off a stint with the U.S. team in
the World Baseball Classic, gave up three hits,
walked one and struck out seven. Narveson had his
best outing of spring training, allowing just one hit,
walking none and striking out four.
The teams closers, San Franciscos Sergio Romo
and Milwaukees John Axford, both had scoreless
innings. Romo gave up a hit, walked a man and
struck out a batter. Axford gave up one hit.
Crawford leads Giants
to a 6-4 win over Padres
PEORIA, Ariz. Brandon Crawford had three
hits and an RBI, leading a San Francisco Giants
split squad to a 6-4 victory over the San Diego
Padres on Wednesday.
The Padres hoped starter Andrew Cashner
would get into the fourth inning with less that 40
pitches, but he didnt make it through the third
he threw 31 pitches in the rst. But Cashner only
gave up one run on three hits. He struck out four
in his second start of spring training.
Giants starter Chad Gaudin pitched three
innings and gave up two runs on seven hits. He
had two strike outs.
Left elder Gregor Blanco had two hits, includ-
ing a perfectly placed bunt single. Padres catcher
John Baker also had two hits.
The Giants other squad played a 0-0, 10-inning
ties against Milwaukee.
Harper has 4 RBIs,
Nationals beat Marlins 7-5
JUPITER, Fla. At 20, Bryce Harper enjoys
the spring training perks of an established veter-
an.
Harper doubled, singled and drove in four runs
Wednesday, then exited in a private car during the
Washington Nationals 7-5 win over the Miami
Marlins 7-5.
Harper had a two-run double in the third and a
two-run single in the fth. The outelder raised
his spring batting average to .400 (20-for-50) with
12 RBIs.
Harper joined teammate Jayson Werth in leav-
ing the Marlins spring training facility during the
seventh inning for the two-hour drive back to the
Nationals camp.
Nationals starter Chris Young allowed two hits
in ve innings. He walked one and struck out two.
Young, at camp on a minor league contract, is
trying to restart his career. He said he chose to join
the defending NL East champs despite the
Nationals rotation being virtually set and the staff
12-14 pitchers deep.
Spring training roundup
By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA Once the shock of being
traded from the Super Bowl champion
Baltimore Ravens wore off, Anquan Boldin
called Colin Kaepernick to get a feel for the
49ers young quarterback.
The two have spoken several times since then,
and Kaepernick can probably expect a few more
calls between now and offseason workouts.
Boldin doesnt want anything preventing him
from settling in quickly, and getting on the same
page with his quarterback was the perfect start-
ing point.
Thats very important for a quarterback and
receiver ... it doesnt just happen overnight,
Boldin said Wednesday. Whenever you see a
quarterback and receiver on the same page that
means theyve spent time together.
Im excited to get to work with him. A spe-
cial kid, smart guy, very athletic. For me, hope-
fully I can help him grow as a quarterback.
Thats one of the primary reasons San
Francisco made the move to acquire the 32-year-
old Boldin, to give Kaepernick another veteran
receiver to throw to. Randy Moss, who spent the
2012 season with the 49ers, is a free agent and
isnt likely to re-sign with
the team, while Mario
Manningham is recovering
from reconstructive left
knee surgery.
Theres also the fact that
Boldin is a proven play-
maker. He had 65 catches
for 921 yards and four
touchdowns for Baltimore
last season, then helped the
Ravens knock off the 49ers in the Super Bowl
when he caught six passes for 104 yards and a
score.
Ive been playing against that guy in our divi-
sion twice a year for a while now, said kicker
Phil Dawson, who signed a one-year deal with
the 49ers on Tuesday after spending 14 years in
Cleveland. He knows how to rise to the chal-
lenge at that moment in the game when your
team needs a play. Not every guy in the league
can do that.
Dawson joined Boldin in meeting with
reporters from the Bay Area, Boldins rst since
the deal was announced on the opening day of
free agency.
Boldin was in Africa doing charity work with
other NFL players at the time the trade was
made. The Ravens, needing to free up money
after signing quarterback Joe Flacco to a six-
year, $120.6 million contract, expressed an inter-
est in keeping Boldin but wanted him to take a
pay cut.
When he didnt, Baltimore moved quickly and
shipped him to San Francisco in exchange for a
sixth-round draft pick. The deal rankled many
Ravens players and fans, and even had Boldin
himself scratching his head.
I really didnt expect to be traded, especial-
ly from the conversations that I had with the
Ravens before I left to Africa, Boldin said. I
just thought at some point we would try to
work things out, one way or another. I dont
think they led me on. The only regret I have is
not being able to say goodbye the way that I
would like to.
The receiver still doesnt have a contract
extension. Hes due to earn $6 million in base
salary during the upcoming season, then could
become a free agent in 2014 if nothing gets
done with the 49ers.
Boldin has yet to meet with 49ers coach Jim
Harbaugh, the younger brother of his former
coach in Baltimore. But everything else that has
happened since the deal was announced tells
Boldin this is a good t.
Boldin likes direction 49ers are headed
already on shaky ground, following a damning
article published in The Sporting News, in
which several anonymous players questioned
the coachs methods. During his 19-month
tenure as the national team coach, Klinsmann
has constantly shifted his lineups, never stay-
ing with one for very long. There is a time to
tinker with lineups to see who plays well
with others, how players handle unfamiliar
positions but World Cup qualifying is not
the time to do it. The Americans defensive
line has been just shy of an unmitigated disas-
ter and the offense still doesnt seem to have
bought into Klinsmanns attacking style.
Yet here they are, playing their most impor-
tant games of the year, without longtime cap-
tain Carlos Bocanegra (who was dismissed
from the team after being benched against
Honduras) and Landon Donovan (the home-
grown talent who, mysteriously, is not in train-
ing camp). The scoring prowess of Jozy
Altidore and Clint Dempsey, who are pulveriz-
ing the nets with their club teams, cant seem
to translate it to the national team.
I, for one, was excited to see Klinsmann
hired. A real soccer man who would pull out
the best of the Americans and position them to
be a real threat in World Cups to come. Hasnt
really happened that way, not yet. And Im
beginning to think that is doesnt matter if
Klinsmanns the coach or his predecessor Bob
Bradley or even Bruce Arena, who had the
greatest amount of success with the national
team. Im starting to believe the Americans just
arent that good and are destined to never be a
big player on world soccer scene.
At rst glance, it appears the rest of the
teams in CONCACAF, which includes teams
from North and Central America and the
Caribbean, is catching up to the Americans. I
think its the other way around: the U.S. is
sinking to the level of inferior opponents.
At one point, not too long ago, the U.S. was
a top-20 team in the world. The Americans
were ranked No. 33 in the latest FIFA rank-
ings. Despite the soccer mom/dad culture
that has permeated the American suburbs for
generations, soccer hasnt seem to have caught
on beyond the youth leagues. The cries of
Wait until our best athletes start playing soc-
cer are falling on deaf ears. The simple fact of
the matter is, the best American athletes arent
playing soccer, not past the age of 10 or 12
anyway. Even if they are, they tend to gravitate
to other sports.
Maybe its time to temper enthusiasm for the
USMNST and just enjoy the ride to the World
Cup if they get there. The way things are
going, thats no sure thing.
***
During my time as the Sports Lounge, Ive
kind of taken you behind the curtain, so to
speak, and given readers glimpses into my per-
sonal life the birth of my daughter (who
will be turning 10 in a couple of months), the
death of the my dogs and now the passing of
my father.
While Ive received condolences from many
people for the deaths in my family, I had never
received any from any of the athletes Ive cov-
ered in my 12 years on the Peninsula.
Until Sunday. Serra basketball standout
Henry Caruso made a fan for life when he
emailed me condolences on the passing of my
dad after the Daily Journal published his obitu-
ary in last weekends paper. Not that I go
around looking for sympathy and Im not
looking for a rash of emails from kids, parents
and coaches, but the fact a kid that I covered in
Little League and now high school would have
the common decency to take time out and
shoot me an email really meant a lot to me.
Caruso knows me on a professional level,
reporter-athlete. He doesnt know me personal-
ly and has never met my father. But obviously
he has been raised right by his parents as well
as his surrogate family at Serra.
Now dont go and do something stupid to
mess all this up, Henry.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ready. Set. Go. Growing seedlings indoors
seems almost like a race. Of course, it has a
staggered start, with onions already growing
strongly and tomatoes not yet sown.
Watering these seedlings is crucial: Timely
watering keeps them chugging along apace;
two or three days of neglect could spell death.
A simple way to automatically water
seedlings is to rely on the soil to draw water
up from below by capillary action. This is just
how various types of commercially available
seedling-growing kits work (available online
from such sites as gardeners.com,
leevalley.com, burpee.com and charleysgreen-
house.com).
Soil watered by capillary action stays con-
stantly moist, rather than swinging between
the extremes of having plant roots cry out for
air and then for water.
LET CAPILLARITY WORK FOR YOU
Capillary watering itself is nothing new. For
years, capillary matting a thick, water-
absorbent fabric that does not rot has been
available, mostly to commercial greenhouse
growers. The idea is to let one end of the fab-
ric dip down into a water reservoir while the
remainder rests at on a horizontal surface.
Pots of plants sit on the at mat. If the pots
likewise have at bottoms and the soil within
is right up against the bottom of the pots, then
a capillary water connection is established
throughout. As plants drink in water, it is
replenished by water drawn up from the mat
which is, in turn, drawn up from the reservoir.
These capillary-watering seed starters are
nifty setups that make it convenient to raise
seedlings in your home. A small plastic pan
holds water. Into the pan ts a Styrofoam or
plastic table on which sits the mat, with one
end dipping into the water. A multi-celled
Styrofoam or plastic planting tray sits atop the
mat.
The whole setup is about the size of a three-
ring notebook, or half that, depending on the
number and size of the cells. Right now, my
broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale
seedlings 24 seedlings in about a square
foot of space are growing in 1-1/2 inch
square cells. In about a month, Ill have
cucumbers and melons started in propagators
with slightly larger cells.
A few other features round out these sys-
tems. A clear plastic cover maintains humidi-
ty while seeds are germinating, then tucks
neatly out of the way under the reservoir. The
underside of the table looks like a pegboard,
and can be ipped over to pop seedlings up
out of their cells when they are ready for trans-
planting. Plant roots knit the soil together to
keep it intact during transplanting. And after a
good cleaning, the whole setup is ready for re-
use year after year.
A FEW CAUTIONARY NOTES
Capillary watering does have drawbacks.
Water evaporating at the surface of the soil
leaves fertilizer salt residues. These residues
can accumulate in the soil and draw water out
of the roots the same way potato chips dry out
your lips. Seedlings generally do not spend
enough time in containers to bring on this
problem, especially when care is taken not to
over-fertilize. If necessary, occasional water-
ing from above will wash the salts down and
out of the soil.
Another problem is that of seedling roots
growing out through the bottom of their cells
and into the matting. Then plants become dif-
cult to remove from their cells and lose too
many roots when they are nally ripped away.
I avert this problem by periodically lifting the
planting tray up off the mat beginning when
the seedlings are large enough for their roots
to bind the soil together.
Perhaps the worst threat to any automated
system is neglect. I have almost lost seedlings
from forgetting to check the water level in the
reservoir, which only needs to be done about
weekly. Its easy to forget about watering
when so much of the job is done for you.
Despite these minor shortcomings, these
capillary watering systems for raising
seedlings are among the few horticultural giz-
mos that I recommend. Before I used them,
my seedlings tethered me to my house daily
throughout April and May.
Seedlings need water; capillary systems
A simple way to automatically water seedlings is to rely on the soil to draw water up from
below by capillary action.

Modern takes
on Easter decor
By Kim Cook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fuzzy chicks and cute bunnies are part of the pastel pantheon
of Easter decor, and their charm helps dene the look of the
season.
But for those who prefer celebrating with a modern aesthet-
ic, there are many attractive decor options that are a tad less
cute and a tad more contemporary. Some reference Easters tra-
ditional color palette in new ways, while others put a modern
twist on the holidays iconic elements.
Pottery Barn has realistic speckled and robins eggs that
would make pretty ller for tabletop bowls and vases. There are
luster-nished glass eggs here, too, in soft yellow, pink and
blue that would look smart on a gray or navy tablecloth or sleek
lacquered console. Mercury-glass pillar candle holders are ren-
dered in an interesting new shimmery pale blue. And theres an
elegant silver-plated cake server embossed with a rabbit motif.

Albany, Ore.-based designers Jason and Cara Hibbs hand-
draw, then screen-print rabbit images on organic our sack cot-
ton tea towels. The charming result would make a great hostess
gift. (www.etsy.com/shop/ohlittlerabbit)
Canadian textile artist Cristina Larsen crafts winsome stuffed
felted bunnies and chicks in a rainbow of hues that have a ter-
ric design-y vibe.
I use merino wool to make all my felt. I dye the colors and
stitch every toy by hand, she says. While Larsen calls them
toys, theyd be equally at home as artsy Easter dicor.
(www.etsy.com/shop/textileplatypus)
The key to a modern Easter look is simple, according to
Kevin Sharkey, executive creative director for Martha Stewart
Living Omnimedia: Its about a controlled color palette.
Easter candies can be used to create a graphic tablescape. Fill
plain glass cylinders or apothecary jars with single or multi-
colored jellybeans for a colorblock effect. Consider adding a
pillar candle, or place a smaller plant or vase inside a bigger
container and ll the spaces in between with confections.
Buy a bunch of the same style chocolate rabbit in different
sizes and arrange them going down the center of the table like
a runner, Sharkey suggests.
Or ll a low tray with colorful Peeps, another classic Easter
treat that happens to be one of Sharkeys favorites. Last year, he
says, Stewarts daughter, Alexis, gave him a gift box full of
every color Peep they make. I brought it into the ofce and
everyone was taking pictures of it because it was so cool to look
at.
There are some other clever decorating ideas on Stewarts
website for those with a slightly crafty hand, like studding
wreaths and Styrofoam balls with dozens of pussy willow
catkins.
Use eggs in interesting ways. Youll nd instructions at
MarthaStewart.com on how to make decorative eggs and
wreaths that have a tailored look, using muted paint and trims.
Metallic paint and glitter-coated eggs amp up the wow factor.
There are tips too on using eggshells and egg cups as vases for
diminutive bouquets of lily of the valley or pansies.

place at least through the end of the
budget year on Sept. 30 even though
he and lawmakers in both parties have
criticized them as random rather than tar-
geted. Obama argued strongly against
them in campaign-style appearances,
predicting painful consequences, before
they began taking effect, and
Republicans objected to impacts on
Pentagon spending.
Without changes, the $85 billion in
cuts for the current year will swell to
nearly $1 trillion over a decade, enough
to make at least a small dent in economy-
threatening federal decits but requiring
program cuts that lawmakers in both par-
ties say are unsustainable politically. As a
result, negotiations are possible later in
the year to replace the reductions with
different savings.
The administration as well as
Republicans picked and chose its spots in
arguing for exibility in this years cuts.
My hope is that gets done,
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said
earlier in the week of the effort to prevent
layoffs among inspectors that could dis-
rupt the nations food supply chain. If it
does not, come mid-July we will fur-
lough meat inspectors, he added, depart-
ing from the administrations general
position that exibility should ease all
the cuts or none at all.
Nor did the White House resist a bipar-
tisan plan to prevent any cut in tuition
assistance programs for members of mil-
itary.
The nal vote was 73-26, with 51
Democrats, 20 Republicans and two
independents in favor and 25
Republicans and Democratic Sen. Jon
Tester of Montana opposed.
Political considerations were on ample
display in both houses as lawmakers
labored over measures relating to spend-
ing priorities, both for this year and a
decade into the future.
Rep. Mark Mulvaney, R-S.C., said he
had wanted the House to vote on
Obamas own budget, but he noted the
president hadnt yet released one. Its
with great regret ... that Im not able to
offer a presidential budget for a vote, he
said. He added he had wanted to vote on
a placeholder 34 pages full of ques-
tion marks but House rules prevent-
ed it.
Minority Democrats advanced a plan
that calls for $1 trillion in higher taxes,
$500 billion in spending cuts over a
decade and a $200 billion economic
stimulus package. Republicans voted it
down, 253-165.
They are expected to approve their
own very different blueprint on
Thursday.
It calls for $4.6 trillion in spending cuts
over a decade and no tax increases, a
combination that projects to a balanced
budget in 10 years time. That spending
plan would indeed be simply a blueprint,
lacking any actual control over federal
spending.
The issues were grittier in the Senate,
where lawmakers grappled with the
immediate impact of across-the-board
cuts on individual programs.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., a decit
hawk, said he wanted to reopen the
White House tours, shut down since ear-
lier in the month. He said his proposal
would take about $8 million from the
National Heritage Partnership Program
and apply it toward opening up the tours
at the White House, opening up
Yellowstone National Park and the rest of
the national parks.
White House press secretary Jay
Carney told reporters previously the
decision the cancel the White House
tours was made by the Secret Service
because it would be, in their view,
impossible to staff those tours; that they
would have to withdraw staff from those
tours in order to avoid more furloughs
and overtime pay cuts.
But in remarks on the Senate oor,
Coburn said, This is a Park Service
issue, not a Secret Service issue.
Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., said the funds
involved in Coburns amendment would
not go to the Secret Service, and as a
result the tours would not be affected.
He also said the Heritage program, a
public-private partnership, helps produce
economic development and should not
be cut.
The vote was 54-45 against the pro-
posal. Montana Sen. Max Baucus, whose
state borders on Yellowstone National
Park, was the only Democrat to vote with
Republicans.
The Park Service has announced some
parks may open late to automobile trafc
this spring because budget cuts have
reduced funds available to clear roads of
winter snow.
The overall legislation locks in the $85
billion in spending cuts through the end
of the budget year, yet provides several
departments and agencies with exibility
in coping with them. It extends exibili-
ty to the Pentagon, the departments of
Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs,
Justice, State and Commerce and the
Food and Drug Administration.
But bipartisanship has its limits, and in
private negotiations Republicans rejected
Democratic attempts to provide exibili-
ty for the rest of the government.
That set off a scramble among law-
makers to round up support for changes
on a case-by-case basis.
The provision to prevent furloughs for
federal meat inspectors had the support
of industry as well as from both sides of
the political aisle and cleared without a
vote. It was supported by Sen. Mark
Pryor of Arkansas, a Democrat seeking
re-election next year, and Sen. Roy Blunt
of Missouri, who quietly helped
Democrats round up the votes they need-
ed to clear the legislation over a proce-
dural hurdle.
The effect was to transfer $55 million
to the Agriculture Departments Food
Safety and Inspection Service from other
accounts within the department, includ-
ing deferred maintenance.
Without this funding, every meat,
poultry, and egg processing facility in the
country would be forced to shut down for
up to two weeks, said Blunt. That
means high food prices and less work for
the hardworking Americans who work in
these facilities nationwide.
In contrast to Blunt, Sen. Jerry Moran,
R-Kansas, opposed Democrats when
they sought to overcome procedural hur-
dles earlier in the week.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Stormwater runoff can quickly drain a
homeowners wallet. The flooding erodes
yards, soaks basements, pollutes streams and
wastes a precious resource.
But rainscaping an integrated system of
directed water ow and settling basins can
convert those losses into gains by providing
new wildlife habitat, beautifying properties
and in some cases providing food for the din-
ner table.
Its becoming a pattern of capture and
reuse rather than simply moving the water
off, said Pat Sauer, Rainscaping Iowa
Program administrator. There are more
options out there than just rain gardens. Were
looking more comprehensively at what can be
done on the landscape.
Numerous state and local groups are hold-
ing workshops and providing rebates for res-
idents who add such renements to their
properties as rain barrels, cisterns, permeable
paving, settling ponds, green roofs and
berms.
Iowa is providing training for profession-
als certied rainscapers who are design-
ing some of those programs, Sauer said.
Many of these agencies also build large-
scale inltration systems projects on public
lands, said Cleo Woele-Erskine, who along
with Apryl Uncapher wrote Creating Rain
Gardens. (Timber Press, 2012).
Landscapers often merge art with science.
In Portland, Ore., many parking lots and
curb strips sport swales (depressions) and
retention basins, often decorated with sculp-
tures of leaping sh, Woele-Erskine said.
Rainscaping, though, can be expensive and
complicated. So why bother?
A rain garden is not only a beautiful, low-
maintenance, water-saving garden, but can
additionally provide habitat and forage for
local fauna, sustain select edibles for harvest,
reduce pollution, ooding and erosion to
nearby rivers and become a daily reminder of
the importance of water conservation,
Uncapher said.
Yards vary, and rainscaping designs must be
site specic.
Some suggestions:
Perk. Conduct a soil test to see if your
yard will percolate (drain) rainwater, Sauer
said. If it doesnt perk, then all youll be left
with is standing water. If your yard is hard,
like concrete, youll have to improve the soil.
Plant native. Prairie plants and woodland
seedlings with deep roots help soak up
stormwater, filter pollutants and recharge
groundwater levels, Sauer said. Using native
plants also helps ensure theyll survive their
new setting.
Installing a residential rain garden, which
is a saucer-like depression in the ground that
captures rain from a downspout, driveway or
patio, is the simplest and least expensive way
to retain stormwater, Woele-Erskine said.
But heres his kicker: They wont work if
your yard is uphill from your house.
Use permeable materials like bricks,
paving blocks or gravel on driveways and
walkways, with spacing that allows water to
seep into the soil.
Edibles. Berries, asparagus, ddlehead
ferns, fruit trees, winter squash, Brussels
sprouts, and culinary and tea herbs can be cre-
ative additions in the right rain garden sites,
but use them with care. Be aware of where
the water is owing into your rain garden
from, Uncapher said. Rain gardens serving
to intersect runoff from potentially polluted
surfaces are not ideal for edibles unless soil
and water nutrients are tested and monitored.
Rain gardens and related rainscaping fea-
tures give homeowners a chance to be part of
the stormwater and pollution solution, while
serving aesthetic and functional purposes,
said Bob Spencer, RainWise program manag-
er for the City of Seattle.
Not only are the gardens attractive land-
scaping, they are protecting our water bodies
and the creatures that live there, he said.

ent, said hes pleased with the develop-
ments in the Assembly that will keep
adult education services as an extension
of K-12 school districts.
Scott Laurence, San Mateo Union
High School District superintendent,
agreed.
I believe that this is a positive step
but just the rst one of many over the
next few months. I have a feeling there
will be many of these releases as they
work through the educational funding
structure, he said.
Larry Teshara, San Mateo Adult
School director, was happy about the
vote but said its just the start of this con-
versation. Keeping adult education
where it is makes more sense, he said,
because it serves the very individuals
Brown hopes to help under the Local
Control Funding Formula. Plus, moving
adult education to community colleges
wouldnt offer the same exibility, he
said.
For a student to register at the San
Mateo Adult School, for example, he or
she could start right away and be able to
work around other responsibilities with-
out being penalized with a lower grade.
Browns hope with the change is to
eliminate redundancies and better serve
local adults with programs like English,
vocational skills and citizenship.
Locally, however, the San Mateo County
Community College District currently
doesnt offer classes that arent for cred-
it like a citizenship class. Students
need that opportunity as well as the
chance to prepare for college while not
yet a college student, said Teshara.
Specifically, Browns proposal
includes shifting $300 million in fund-
ing to community colleges to cover the
adult education programs as well as an
additional nearly $16 million for appren-
ticeship programs. As a result, K-12
school districts would no longer offer
adult education programs.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES As Jay Leno lobs
potshots at ratings-challenged NBC in
his Tonight monologues, speculation
is swirling the network is taking steps to
replace the host with Jimmy Fallon next
year and move the show from Burbank
to New York.
NBC conrmed Wednesday its creat-
ing a new studio for Fallon in New York,
where he hosts Late Night. But the
network did not comment on a report
that the digs at its Rockefeller Plaza
headquarters may become home to a
transplanted, Fallon-hosted Tonight.
The New York Times reported the plan
in a Wednesday story, citing unidentied
network executives. The Hollywood
Reporter had a March 1 report about a
Fallon-Leno switch, which was denied
by the network.
Looming over NBC is its messy, failed
effort to replace Leno with Conan
OBrien, which ended in 2010 with
Leno regaining Tonight and NBC los-
ing OBrien who got a $45 million
exit deal to TBS. Lenos current
Tonight contract expires in September
2014.
That occurred under a different
regime, before NBCUniversal was taken
over by Philadelphia-based Comcast
Corp., which has a
reputation for disci-
pline. While NBC
dithered and back-
tracked on its
Tonight succession
plan involving
OBrien, Comcast is
likely to be more
decisive.
I dont know if
its possible to have a less orderly transi-
tion than Leno-OBrien, said analyst
Brad Adgate of media-buying firm
Horizon Media.
Fallon contacted Leno in an effort to
help smooth the potential switch,
according to a Hollywood Reporter story
Wednesday.
The latest roiling of the late-night
waters began in January when ABC
moved Jimmy Kimmel Live back to
11:35 p.m. Eastern to offer direct com-
petition to Leno and CBS David
Letterman.
With the potential for Kimmel, 45, to
draw advertiser-favored young viewers
away from Leno (62) and Letterman
(65), its unsurprising that their networks
might step up their succession planning.
At 38, Fallon is the youngest of the
pack.
Leno, who took over Tonight from
Johnny Carson in 1992, did not respond
Wednesday to a request for comment.
But he might be tak-
ing advantage of

Tonight stage and
its audience of mil-
lions.
Although late-
night hosts are
known for needling
their network bosses
on-air, the timing of Lenos latest jabs at
NBC seemed to make the network par-
ticularly uncomfortable. They reportedly
asked him to stop; he hasnt.
You know the whole legend of St.
Patrick, right? St. Patrick drove all the
snakes out of Ireland and then they
came to the United States and became
NBC executives, Leno joked on
Mondays show.
On Tuesday, he played off a news
report about a Serbian woman with a
rare brain condition that causes her to
see the world upside down: Isnt that
crazy? Its unbelievable. She sees every-
thing upside down. In fact, she thinks
NBC is at the top of the ratings.
He kept up the pace Wednesday,
according to a NBC transcript released
after the shows taping and with gibe
included. Leno quipped that scientists
may be able to clone extinct species and
bring them back from the dead, so
theres hope for NBC.

aries (March 21-April 19) -- Usually you can
maintain an upbeat attitude, but it might take
everything in your power not to let a sour
temperament take over.
TaUrUs (April 20-May 20) -- When around people
who have something worthwhile to say, you should
do more listening than talking. Youll fnd much useful
information that will come in handy down the line.
GeMini (May 21-June 20) -- Focus your efforts on
endeavors that could contribute to your fnancial
well-being. Two unrelated opportunities that might
come your way -- seize both of them.
CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- One of your greatest
assets is the ability to take control of a situation and
wrest something valuable from it, and youll get a
chance to do this today. Youll know how to delegate
effectively.
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your goals can best be
achieved by operating in a manner that doesnt
generate much attention. Quietly do your own thing
while letting others do theirs.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- One of the major
reasons behind the current spike in your popularity
is your genuine concern for others. Sincerity builds
strong bonds of friendship.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If youre too wishy-
washy to make your own decisions, your colleagues
will happily make them for you. Unfortunately, you
might not appreciate the results.

learned from painful past experience will be wisely
utilized. You arent likely to repeat a mistake that
you once made in a similar situation.
saGiTTariUs (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your instincts
are likely to be a shade sharper than usual when it
comes to important personal matters. Youll heed
your hunches and use them effectively.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Diplomacy and tact
are your two greatest assets, especially regarding
your friendships. Situations that normally could be a
bit testy wont get a chance to go south.
aQUariUs (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Any assignment that
requires your immediate attention should be given
top priority. Youre wont have any peace of mind if
you ignore important mattes that need tending to.
PisCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You wont need to be
around a ton of people to have a good time. In fact,
hanging out with a few special friends could produce
all the fun you need.
