Former San Carlos mayor Randy Royce
died of cancer Tuesday, leaving behind a lega-
cy of longtime volunteerism, political bravery
that contributed to the citys pioneering out-
sourcing and an indefatigable spirit both on
and off the dais.
Royce, 62, leaves behind his wife, Yvette,
and grown sons, Roger
and Todd. He died at home
in hospice care after years
of battling the cancer that
eventually spread to his
brain and led to a tumor
around his spine that hin-
dered his walking. But
those who knew Royce
and saw him in his last
weeks said he was still quick with a smile and
handshake, with the same positive attitude he
carried through his civic activities, his nan-
cial career of 23 years with Hewlett-Packard
and including acting chief nancial ofcer of
three startups in its Agilent division along
with turns on the citys Planning Commission
and City Council.
I really think the greatest thing he gave me
was the chance to learn from him just as an
adult and a man. Randy had probably the
strongest backbone of anyone I ever met,
said friend and former fellow councilman
Andy Klein.
When Royce was named the citys 2011
Citizen of the Year, former mayor and neigh-
bor Tom Davids commented at the awards

New jail programs
in planning stages
Changes slated to reduce recidivism
and help inmates re-enter society
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
County jail inmates will be better served with expanded pro-
gramming tailored to each individual need, especially as the
population changes as a result of realign-
ment, but current conditions make changes
challenging until a new facility opens,
Sheriff Greg Munks said yesterday.
Munks unveiled to the Board of
Supervisors the strategic implementation
plan for jail-based services and re-entry
programming which was developed on the
heels of the plan implementing the states
public safety realignment. The project
looked at the current jail offerings, identi-
ed gaps, evaluated other counties and came up with a three-
to ve-year plan to improve and expand on the status quo.
We were looking at how we manage our system from the
day someone enters, Munks said.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
State Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, is intro-
ducing legislation to close a corporate tax
loophole that allowed a Brisbane company to
claim a $37,000 tax credit for each of the 150
local workers it displaced when it moved last
year to an enterprise zone in Visalia.
He introduced similar legislation in 2011
after VWR International announced it was
going to take advantage of the tax breaks
Visalia offered to move its laboratory and
medical supply company there.
That legislation, however, never made it out
of committee.
Hill held a press conference in Brisbane
yesterday morning to announce he will intro-
duce Senate Bill 434 soon to close a tax loop-
hole that allows rms in the state to reap tax
credits by relocating to enterprise zones.
Taxpayer dollars should not be used to
reward companies for ring people in one city
and hiring new employees elsewhere. We
should be focusing on true job creation, not
job transferring. My legislation will stop these
intra-state tax breaks and save the state mil-
lions of dollars every year, Hill wrote in a
statement.
He was joined by former VWR employees,
Art Pulaski, secretary-treasurer of the
California Labor Federation, and officials
from Brisbane, which lost 50 percent of its
sales tax revenue when VWR relocated to
Visalia, where it hired replacement workers at
lower wages, according to Hills ofce.
Californias enterprise zone program was
established in 1984 to create jobs in disadvan-
taged communities. But over the years, tax
consultants for big companies have exploited
loopholes in the law to claim tax credits with-
out adding to the states workforce, according
to Hills ofce.
Enterprise zones have attracted other com-
panies too such as Blue Linx, which just ed
Newark in the East Bay for an enterprise zone
in Stockton.
The intent of enterprise zones is to give tax
credits to companies to create jobs in the state
but no extra jobs are created when companies
relocate from one city to another city within
the state, according to Hills ofce.
There are 40 enterprise zones in California
in which companies receive a variety of tax
breaks. The largest is a hiring credit like
the one VWR received that costs California
$700 million a year, and the costs are growing
by more than 30 percent annually, according
to Hills ofce.
The move by VWR, owned by private equi-
ty firm Madison Dearborn Partners, cost
Brisbane roughly $2.1 million a year in tax
revenue while saving the company more than
$1.5 million annually through the enterprise
zone program, according to Hills ofce.
VWR was Brisbanes primary source of tax
revenue before it moved, according to the city.
The legislation, if approved, will require
that employers create net new jobs in the state
to claim the hiring credit, pay at least $16 an
hour and meet retention standards to claim
credits.
Hill tries again to close tax loophole

Homeowners often take issue
when someone in their neighbor-
hood wants to remodel or add on to
their home, but what if that some-
one is the mayor?
San Mateo Mayor David Lim
wants to construct a 109-square-
foot rst-story addition and a 640-
square-foot second-story addition to
his growing familys Sugarloaf
Neighborhood home and led an
application with the city last July.
Through the process, Lim held a
pre-application neighborhood
meeting to spell out to those who
live nearby what his construction
plans were.
One neigh-
bors home,
however, will
lose part of its
1 8 0 - d e g r e e
view of the Bay
with Lims addi-
tion, which ini-
tially called for
building about
800 square feet on the second oor.
So, Lim scaled the project back
and was eventually granted permis-
sion by a city zoning administrator
to move forward with the project.
The neighbors with the great
view, however, led an appeal with
the citys Planning Commission
within 10 days after approval to try
and reverse the zoning administra-
tors decision.
The neighbors, Terry Larson and
Megan Goggins, paid $515 to
appeal the decision but the process
will end up costing the Lim family
an additional $4,400 to pay for city
staff time and other expenses, he
told the Daily Journal yesterday.
In the meantime, Lim is still
working with his neighbors to nd a
solution outside of the city process.
He is also not sure whether he
will appeal himself to the City
Council if the Planning
Commission sides with the appel-
lant and turns down Lims applica-
tion.
The appellant can also appeal to
the City Council if the Planning
Commission sides with Lim.
So concerned about any potential
conicts of interest, however, Lim
sent a letter to the states Fair
Political Practices Commission for
advice, especially since the city at
the time was entangled in the 7-
Eleven controversy in which Lim
was directly involved.
Lim asked specically whether it
was proper for the same city staff to
handle his application while also
handling the 7-Eleven situation,
which centered on whether the mar-
ket could continue operating on
land zoned residential.
The FPPC ruled that a conict
does not exist and Lim actually
entered his letter and the FPPC let-
ter into the record during delibera-
tions related to 7-Eleven.
Outside of those letters, however,
Lim has been essentially mum on
the matter.
He does not want the public to
think he is getting or deserves any
special attention related to his
remodel application.
In this case, being mayor might
actually be a detriment, Lim told the
Daily Journal.
The Planning Commission will
hold a public hearing 7:30 p.m.,
Tuesday, April 9, City Hall, San
Mateo.

Three suspected home burglars
who led police on a high-speed
chase into a Belmont neighborhood
will stand trial on several felonies
after a judge found sufcient evi-
dence of all but two weapons
charges.
A judge held Dolton Tubby, 21,
Jorge Nevarez, 22, and Marquise
Weaver, 20, all of Oakland, to
answer for residential burglary and
Nevarez is also charged with reck-
lessly evading police. Judge Leland
Davis found insufcient evidence to
hold Tubby to answer on charges of
possessing a concealed weapon and
brandishing a rearm although he is
still charged with being a felon in
possession a rearm and carrying a
loaded rearm in a public place.
The three men were arrested
March 7 after the high-speed chase
that ended with Tubby allegedly
hiding in a resi-
dential recycling
bin. The mid-

Woman sues over
nail clipping in roll
A woman is suing Safeway after
consuming and regurgitating part
of a bakery roll containing a
human nail clipping, which she
claimed caused throat damage.
Amparo Solis purchased six
rolls from the Pakn Save Foods
bakery in South San Francisco in
April 2011. After biting into one
of the rolls, Solis discovered part
of a nail clipping. The bite was
regurgitated causing injury to her
throat and general health, accord-
ing to a lawsuit filed with the San
Mateo County Superior Court
Monday.
Keith Turner, director, public
and government affairs at
Safeway, could not comment on
the litigation. He did confirm that
Pakn Save is owned by Safeway
and that the company has process-
es and procedures in place to
ensure the quality of its products.
Solis has requested damages for
lost wages, medical expenses,
general expenses and loss of earn-
ing capacity.

SAN FRANCISCO Student
enrollment at Californias communi-
ty colleges has fallen dramatically in
recent years as campuses slashed
teaching staffs and course offerings
in response to unprecedented cuts in
state funding, according to a report
released Tuesday.
The report by the nonprot Public
Policy Institute of California details
the impacts of $1.5 billion in state
budget cuts between 2007 and 2012
on California Community Colleges,
the nations largest system of higher
education.
During that period, enrollment
within the 112-campus system
dropped from 2.9 million to 2.4 mil-
lion students, according to the
report, which is based on ofcial
campus reports and interviews with
more than 100 senior administrators.
The enrollment declines were
steepest among students returning to
school after an absence and rst-
time college students, researchers
said. Enrollment of rst-time stu-
dents fell 5 percent even as the num-
ber of high school graduates in
California rose 9 percent.
The decline in access of rst-time
students is troubling, given
Californias longstanding need to
increase college-going rates for new
high school graduates, who are the
workforce for the future, said PPIC
researcher Sarah Bohn, the reports
co-author.
On the bright side, continuing stu-
dents completed courses, earned
passing grades and transferred to
four-year institutions at higher rates,
researchers said.
Californias community college
system, which is known for its low
fees and open-access policies, is
open to nearly all adults, but in
recent years campuses have been
forced to turn away hundreds of
thousands of students who couldnt
get into the classes they wanted.
Across the system, the number of
academic-year course offerings
dropped 21 percent, summer classes
fell 60 percent and class sizes
swelled, researchers said. All types
of courses were cut, but the drop was
most significant for non-credit
courses for enrichment or remedia-
tion.
The outlook for California
Community Colleges has improved
since November when voters
approved Proposition 30, a ballot
measure that temporarily raises the
statewide sales tax and income taxes
of high earners.

Shooting victim found
outside San Mateo Dennys,
Salinas police investigating
A shooting victim who was found
early Tuesday morning near a
Dennys restaurant in San Mateo
was likely wounded in a gang-relat-
ed shooting in Salinas on Monday
evening, a Salinas police
spokesman said.
Ofcers responded to reports of a
shooting at the El Dorado Motel in
the 1300 block of North Main Street
in Salinas at about 6:30 p.m.,
Salinas police Cmdr. Dave Crabill
said Tuesday.
Two groups of men had fired
shots at each other and ed before
officers arrived, witnesses told
police at the scene.
At least one person was believed
to have been wounded in the
exchange, Crabill said.
At about 2:10 a.m. Tuesday,
police in San Mateo responded to
reports of a shooting victim at the
Dennys restaurant at 2920 South
Norfolk St., Sgt. Dave Norris said.
The male victim was taken to a
Bay Area hospital and is expected to
survive, Norris said.
An investigation connected the
victim a known gangmember on
parole to the Salinas shooting,
Crabill said.
It has not been determined why he
traveled approximately 90 miles
north before seeking help, he said.
The shooting remains under
investigation by Salinas police.
Solar power
contract vote delayed
Voting on a contract and solar
power purchase agreement with
Siemens Industry, Inc. was post-
poned Monday after the Redwood
City Elementary School Districts
legal counsel said it should happen
during a regular meeting.
Last week, the board spent
Wednesday night discussing the
proposal and planned to take a vote
during a special meeting Monday.
After getting the legal recommenda-
tion, the vote was again postponed
but has yet to be rescheduled, said
district spokeswoman Naomi
Hunter.
If approved, the partnership
would result in upgrades in all 15
schools to the energy management
systems, lighting, rest rooms and
water as well as the tires to the dis-
tricts eet. In addition, ve schools
Adelante, Hawes, John Gill,
Clifford and Kennedy would
have solar panels installed.
Under the agreement, Siemens
Industry would fund, build, own and
operate the solar panel with no up-
front costs to the district.
Construction could start this sum-
mer. The project is estimated to save
the district a minimum of $812,826
over 20 years for the solar power
purchase agreement at ve schools
and $406,920 over 15 years for the
energy efcient facility improve-
ments. The district and Siemens are
looking at securing an additional
savings offered through the
California Energy Commission that
could result in a savings of
$667,920 over 15 years.
FedEx Ground to
break ground on South
San Francisco facility
A groundbreaking ceremony will
be held today for a 418,000-square-

The alleged Norteo gangmem-
ber accused of stabbing four people
outside a wedding reception in Half
Moon Bay last year will have a trial
date in June on multiple attempted
murder and assault charges.
Wilmer Manuel Ucan, 18, of El
Granada, is the only suspect arrest-
ed in the Jan. 28, 2012 attack
although the Sheriffs Office previ-
ously said there are other young
men involved. They and Ucan are
allegedly affiliated with the Media
Luna Norte or Half Moon North
gang. On Monday, a June 3 trial
date was set for two cases that were
consolidated last month charges
related to the Half Moon Bay wed-
ding reception incident and based
on attacking another inmate in July,
said Chief Deputy District Attorney
Karen Guidotti.
Ucan, who previously entered a
not guilty plea, was 17 at the time
of the stabbings but prosecutors
charged him as an adult due to the
serious nature of the alleged crime
and his age being so close to 18.
According to authorities, four
men in their 20s were leaving a
wedding reception at the I.D.E.S.
hall on Main Street shortly before
midnight when they were
approached by a group of males
and stabbed by at least one of the
suspects. No motive or other details
about the altercation were released.
All four victims were treated at
the hospital and released.
While in county jail awaiting
trial on the attempted murder and
assault charges, Ucan and another
gangmember are suspected of dis-
abling a locking mechanism to
allow them to push an inner door
open and attack an opposing gang-
member, according to the District
Attorneys office. The two cases
were consolidated in February,
Guidotti said.
Ucan remains in custody on
$575,000 bail.

DENVER As lawmakers
across the country debate arming
teachers and administrators to pre-
vent another deadly school shoot-
ing, one Colorado school district
has voted to let its superintendent
and a high school principal carry
concealed semi-automatic pistols
on campus a move some say
sidesteps laws meant to keep
schools gun-free.
The seven-member school board
in southwestern Colorados rural
Dolores County voted unanimous-
ly in February to allow Ty Gray,
principal of Dove Creek High
School, and Superintendent Bruce
Hankins to double as security offi-
cers, who under state law are
allowed to carry guns on elemen-
tary, middle and high school cam-
puses.
Hankins and Gray both life-
long hunters will receive an
additional $1 per year for the extra
responsibility after completing a
concealed-carry course and receiv-
ing permits from the county sheriff
before they can carry a gun on
school grounds.
We wont live our lives in fear,
but we realize the world we live in
today and need to do everything in
our power to keep kids safe,
Hankins told The Cortez Journal
after the vote.
If somebody comes into the
building making threats or shoot-
ing, Im not going to hide behind
my desk. Id prefer to have more
than a chair (as a weapon).
The superintendent of District
RE-2J, which serves about 275 stu-
dents, declined an Associated
Press request to be interviewed by
phone or in person, though he did
respond to emailed questions.
In most school shootings, they
are over in just a few minutes,
Hankins wrote. We will have
immediate response capability.
In New Jersey, Passaic Valley
High Schools board of education
voted unanimously last month to
allow the schools principal, a
retired police sergeant, to carry a
concealed weapon during the
school day.

The Redwood City Council
Monday night adopted a ban on sin-
gle-use bags but are giving a longer
lead-up time for merchants to rid
themselves of existing stock and for
residents to prepare to cart reusable
carriers to stores.
The prohibition, unanimously
passed by the council, takes effect
Oct. 1, which allows for a six-month
transition period. Several other
Peninsula cities recently implement-
ing similar bans imposed an April
22 start date to coincide with Earth
Day.
Redwood Citys ordinance mir-
rors that of San Mateo County
which has provided the template for
most of the bans. The county will
also be in charge of enforcement
and education.
The ordinance allows patrons
without reusable bags to request a
single-use paper version from retail-
ers for the price of rst a dime and,
after Jan. 1, 2015, a quarter.
Retailers can voluntarily choose to
give free bags to food stamp and
WIC participants.
Bags without handles for medi-
cine and newspapers or to segregate
food that might contaminate are
exempt as are nonprots such as
Goodwill. Restaurants can still send
food in to-go bags as public health
ofcials havent yet ruled out the
possibility of reusable bags leading
to cross-contamination.
The environmental impact report
conducted earlier on the possibility
of a ban founded that an estimated
400 million single-use plastic bags
are used annually in San Mateo
County included approximately 42
million in Redwood City. Only a
small percentage are recycled and
the majority end up in landlls or as
litter, according to the EIR.
The EIR concluded that Redwood
City could potentially cut its plastic
bag use by 95 percent if it imple-
mented the ban.
Another city joins bag ban
The San Carlos City Council nar-
rowly passed an urgency ordinance
for zoning in its industrial area, a
move which temporarily protects
space earmarked for a hotel from
being possibly developed into a
large tness facility.
The ordinance required a four-
fifths majority and, with
Councilman Matt Grocott voting
against the recommendation, it just
passed with the necessary four
votes.
The 45-day ordinance was
spurred by interest in building on
three of ve parcels at the corner of
Industrial Road and Holly Street, a
site identified as the Landmark
Hotel Site in the citys general
plan.
The city is hoping for a hotel
and the sales tax it generates at
the location which is essentially the
entrance into San Carlos off
Highway 101. The ordinance could
keep other uses at bay by requiring a
conditional use permit for business-
es in that commercial/industrial dis-
trict. Without the ordinance, the
land owner would not require fur-
ther city review and approval for a
use like a recreation center greater
than 5,000 square feet.
The Planning Commission will
hold a public hearing and consider
permits for any proposed new and
different uses in that particular zon-
ing district.
The 45-day ban gives the city
time to look at the best uses of the
area and possible rewrite the zoning
if necessary.
The interim prohibition can be
extended by the City Council at the
end of the 45 days with another
four-fths vote. The city previously
went the route of an emergency
ordinance to allow ample study time
when faced with issues of parking
and massage business regulations.

NEW YORK Stop me if
youve heard this one before:
Theres this famous car brand
whose average driver is more famil-
iar with Social Security than social
media.
General Motors Co. will make
another attempt to get Buick to
appeal to younger buyers with fresh-
ened up versions of the Regal mid-
size sports sedan and the LaCrosse
large luxury car. GM unveiled the
pair Tuesday ahead of the New York
auto show.
Youth has been the theme of sev-
eral of Buick marketing campaigns
during the last three decades, with
famous pitchmen from Tiger Woods
to Shaquille ONeal. Sales have
even risen recently after a dramatic
and lengthy decline. But even with
that recent success, odds are against
GM making Buick a go-to option
for large numbers of drivers below
the age of 40.
Buick, once coveted for its under-
stated elegance, used to be a domi-
nant brand. In 1984, GM sold
942,000 Buicks in the U.S., accord-
ing to Wards AutoInfoBank. But
many Buick buyers died, and
younger people opted for SUVs and
cooler European cars. Sales tum-
bled, bottoming out at just over
102,000 in 2009.
GM only kept the brand alive
because it became a huge seller in
China.
The company doesnt expect
Buick sales to approach 900,000 per
year again.
GM in the next phase of
hoped for Buick revival

WASHINGTON Insurance
companies will have to pay out an
average of 32 percent more for med-
ical claims on individual health
policies under President Barack
Obamas overhaul, the nations
leading group of nancial risk ana-
lysts has estimated.
Thats likely to increase premi-
ums for at least some Americans
buying individual plans.
The report by the Society of
Actuaries could turn into a big
headache for the Obama administra-
tion at a time when many parts of
the country remain skeptical about
the Affordable Care Act.
While some states will see med-
ical claims costs per person decline,
the report concluded the over-
whelming majority will see double-
digit increases in their individual
health insurance markets, where
people purchase coverage directly
from insurers.
The disparities are striking. By
2017, the estimated increase would
be 62 percent for California, about
80 percent for Ohio, more than 20
percent for Florida and 67 percent
for Maryland. Much of the reason
for the higher claims costs is that
sicker people are expected to join
the pool, the report said.
The report did not make similar
estimates for employer plans, the
mainstay for workers and their fam-
ilies. Thats because the primary
impact of Obamas law is on people
who dont have coverage through
their jobs.
The administration questions the
design of the study, saying it
focused only on one piece of the
puzzle and ignored cost relief
strategies in the law such as tax
credits to help people afford pre-
miums and special payments to
insurers who attract an outsize
share of the sick. The study also
doesnt take into account the
potential price-cutting effect of
competition in new state insurance
markets that will go live on Oct. 1,
administration officials said.
At a White House brieng on
Tuesday, Health and Human
Services Secretary Kathleen
Sebelius said some of what passes
for health insurance today is so
skimpy it cant be compared to the
comprehensive coverage available
under the law. Some of these folks
have very high catastrophic plans
that dont pay for anything unless
you get hit by a bus, she said.
Theyre really mortgage protec-
tion, not health insurance.
A prominent national expert,
recently retired Medicare chief
actuary Rick Foster, said the report
does a credible job of estimating
potential enrollment and costs under
the law, without trying to tilt the
answers in any particular direction.
Having said that, Foster added,
actuaries tend to be financially
conservative, so the various
assumptions might be more inclined
to consider what might go wrong
than to anticipate that everything
will work beautifully. Actuaries
use statistics and economic theory
to make long-range cost projections
for insurance and pension programs
sponsored by businesses and gov-
ernment. The society is headquar-
tered near Chicago.
Kristi Bohn, an actuary who
worked on the study, acknowledged
it did not attempt to estimate the
effect of subsidies, insurer competi-
tion and other factors that could
mitigate cost increases. She said the
goal was to look at the underlying
cost of medical care.
Claims cost is the most impor-
tant driver of health care premi-
ums, she said.
We dont see ourselves as a
political organization, Bohn added.
We are trying to gure out what
the situation at hand is.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama on Tuesday named
veteran Secret Service agent Julia
Pierson as the agencys rst female
director, signaling his desire to
change the culture at the male-dom-
inated service, which has been
marred by scandal.
Pierson, who most recently served
as the agencys chief of staff, will
take over from Mark Sullivan, who
announced his retirement last
month. The agency faced intense
criticism during
Sullivans tenure
for a prostitution
scandal during
preparations for
Obamas trip to
C a r t a g e n a ,
Colombia, last
year.
The incident
raised questions
within the
agency - as well as at the White
House and on Capitol Hill - about
the culture, particularly during for-
eign travel. In addition to protecting
the president, the Secret Service also
investigates nancial crimes.
Over her 30 years of experience
with the Secret Service, Julia has
consistently exemplied the spirit
and dedication the men and women
of the service demonstrate every
day, Obama said in a statement
announcing Piersons appointment,
which does not require Senate con-
rmation.
Homeland Security Secretary
Janet Napolitano also praised
Obamas historic decision to name
Pierson as the services rst female
director.
Pierson, 53, has held high-ranking
posts throughout the Secret Service,
including deputy assistant director
of the ofce of protective operations
and assistant director of human
resources and training. She has
served as chief of staff since 2008.
That same year, Pierson was
awarded the Presidential
Meritorious Executive Award for
superior performance in manage-
ment throughout her career.
She joined the Secret Service in
1983 as a special agent and previ-
ously worked as a police ofcer in
Orlando, Fla.
Julia is eminently qualied to
lead the agency that not only safe-
guards Americans at major events
and secures our nancial system, but
also protects our leaders and our rst
families, including my own,
Obama said. Julia has had an exem-
plary career, and I know these expe-
riences will guide her as she takes on
this new challenge to lead the
impressive men and women of this
important agency.
Thirteen Secret Service employ-
ees were caught up in last years
prostitution scandal. After a night of
heavy partying in the Caribbean
resort city of Cartagena, the employ-
ees brought women, including pros-
titutes, to the hotel where they were
staying.

OPINION 9
The highjacking of free speech
Editor,
San Francisco Supervisor David
Campos has just introduced legislation
for a 25-foot buffer zone against the
pro-lifers. The Campos proposal is just
another way of eliminating the right to
free speech by using false reasons
against the pro-lifers. I started protest-
ing Planned Parenthood on Valencia
Street in San Francisco about two years
ago and the process to limit free speech
started about ve months later.
1. In 1993, the city adopted a law that
created an eight-foot bubble zone
around anyone who is within 100 feet
of any abortion clinic. On Dec. 20, I
was cited two times in violation of the
bubble zone for blocking the white
zone. Both of the violations were dis-
missed.
2. Around four or ve months later,
Planned Parenthood led for a permit
for a white zone that would prevent me
from parking my life truck that was
covered with posters of innocent, abort-
ed pre-born babies in front of the clinic.
The permit was granted.
3. Around three or four months later,
they led for an amended white zone
that would prevent me from placing any
standing posters on the white zone. It
was granted. On March 7, I was cited in
violation of the amended white zone for
obstructing loading zone. Violations are
still pending.
4. Now a 25-foot bubble zone is
being put in place to make it very dif-
cult for a pro-lifer to communicate with
the patients.
Lastly, by reading what I have written
above, doesnt this look like a well-
planned process by Planned Parenthood
and the city of San Francisco of elimi-
nating justiable free speech?

Kurdish people
deserve proper recognition
Editor,
I am a Kurdish American who works
in Redwood City. I enjoy reading the
Daily Journal during my lunch breaks.
Recently, I noticed and read the article,
Syrian opposition plunges into disar-
ray by Ben Hubbard of the Associated
Press in the March 25 edition of the
Daily Journal.
I am highly offended that Mr.
Hubbard refers to a Syrian girl holding
a Kurdish ag ... celebrating Newroz.
The picture provided in the paper is of a
Kurdish group celebrating Newroz. Is
Mr.Hubbard aware that the Kurdish
population represents one of the highest
minority populations in the Middle East
as a whole who are currently displaced
by what is taking place? The Kurdistan
region of Syria is still not recognized by
the United States.
The least Mr. Hubbard could do is
properly recognize the Kurdish people
who have fought and continue to ght
so hard to keep their culture alive.

Leaf blowers ban unenforceable?
Editor,
Some people agree that leaf blowers
are awful and should be prohibited. But
in reality, they say, such a ban does not
make sense because it would be hard to
enforce.
But, similarly, many laws are not
enforced! Speed is limited on bridges
and in tunnels, but there arent police
ofcers with radar guns there. Theft is a
crime, but police are unlikely to investi-
gate theft of $1 or even $10. Should
these laws be abolished or altered? I
dont think so.

Letters to the editor
T
here were a couple interesting
items that came out of the U.S.
Supreme Court yesterday in its
discussion of same-sex marriage and
Californias Proposition 8. The rst
item was Justice Antonin Scalias con-
cern over same-sex marriages impact
on children and his mention that there
is disagreement among sociologists
about the consequences of raising a
child in a single-sex household and
whether that is harmful. The second
item was the exploration of what is the
point of marriage and if that point was
to procreate.
There was also an indication that the
justices may not be ready for a major
national ruling because the issue of
same-sex marriage is so new.
The court is deciding a fundamental
question over whether an American cit-
izen has the right to marry who they
choose, regardless of the persons gen-
der and whether a state and the voters
within that state have the constitutional
right to take away that right.
Seems like a narrow focus, yet the
discussion wandered into a philosophi-
cal debate about the point of marriage
and the impact of same-sex relation-
ships on children. These details, while
interesting and revealing, take away
from the central tenet of the case.
Justice Elena Kagan diffused the rst
point with humor and said there may
not be a lot of children produced from
late-life marriages and that the court
may not be justied in contemplating
that point.
As far as the impact of same-sex
marriage on children, the American
Academy of Pediatrics recently
declared its support and said it provides
long-term security for children and that
children should not be deprived of fos-
ter care or adoption because of sexual
orientation. In the study, the academy
cited research that showed a childs
well-being is more affected by the
strength of the family relationship
rather than sexual orientation. In addi-
tion, Justice Anthony Kennedy noted
that there are 40,000 children in
California with parents in a same-sex
relationship. Those children want their
parents to have full recognition and sta-
tus and their voices are important,
Kennedy noted.
Besides, any ruling the court comes
up with will not disallow those in
same-sex relationships from having
children and raising them without the
benet of marriage. The ruling would
simply formalize the relationship and
provide even further stability by solidi-
fying benets and rights afforded to
married couples.
Even so, it is dangerous territory for
the court to tread. It is the Supreme
Courts obligation to look at the legality
and constitutionality of certain matters,
in this case Proposition 8. It is not nec-
essarily in its purview to determine the
point of marriage and whether one mar-
riage can be seen as more productive,
benecial or true than any other.
Justice Samuel Alito cautioned
against a broad ruling because it is a
relatively new issue and no state had
recognized same-sex marriage before
2003 and most states disallow it. There
is a possibility the justices will not rule
at all, which would most certainly mean
that same-sex marriages could resume
in California since the states Supreme
Court overturned Proposition 8. While
such an action would not have the
wide-ranging impact that many same-
sex marriage proponents hoped for, it
may be the best outcome from this
court which seems to be mired in phi-
losophy in which the justices, despite
their knowledge and position, do not
seem to have properly squared away in
their own minds.
The justices are set to rule in June,
and so we wait.

Jons little daughter, who will be one-and-a-half
next month, and all other precious and vulnerable little
ones.
I can imagine that some day we will regard our chil-
dren not as creatures to manipulate or to change but
rather as messengers from a world we once deeply knew,
but which we have long since forgotten, who can reveal
to us more about the true
secrets of life and also our-
selves, than our own parents
were able to. Alice
Miller, For Your Own
Good.
Back in the 50s, not long
after our first child was
born, Ill never forget when
it first dawned upon me that
babies are not wily little
devils out to get you
creatures who had to be
forcefully molded or they
would end up being evil
people (Yes, in the old days,
some people believed that). When I realized that little
children are innocent, marvelous beings who have within
them a natural goodness that can be enhanced with kind-
ness, love, respect and appreciation, a heavy load began
to be lifted from my shoulders and I started to relate to
my offspring in a new way and enjoy them much more.
What a difference it makes when you hear your baby
cry and instead of feeling that there is a little brat out to
make trouble (or possessed with original sin), or you
must not respond to her to teach her whos boss, that you
see this wonderful little gem of humanity striving to
grow and learn, to love and be loved. And the greatest
realization of all is that when a child (especially a small
one) causes us problems, there is always a reason that the
child may not even be aware of. He may feel over-
whelmed, hungry, ill, tired or just misunderstood.
I learned that to blossom and thrive, a child must have
caretakers who are kind, who believe in him and under-
stand and have his best interests at heart. To be able to
relate to a child in a kind and loving way, especially
when the going gets rough, a person needs to be very
patient, very discerning and empathetic. But if we, our-
selves, had been damaged by inadequate parenting, we
may use our offspring to take care of our own needs
instead of taking care of theirs.
When we are meeting our own needs, we may not trust
our child to have naturally good intentions or we may
expect her to satisfy a craving for closeness that we did-
nt get in our own childhood, or we may take out our
anger at our own parents on our own little ones. We may
be rigid and authoritarian, or overcontrolling in more
subtle ways. Or we may set no limits or fail to devote
enough time and attention to our child, or even abuse him
physically and/or emotionally.
We are horrified when we hear of children being
severely battered, sexually molested and/or neglected.
But many of us rationalize when a child is spanked,
coerced into an insecure parents idea of a perfect child,
left to his own devices too soon, criticized and otherwise
treated with disrespect, that it is for his own good. But
all are part of the process of killing the spirit.
After that first dawning, it gradually became much eas-
ier for me to relate to my children in more loving and
empathetic ways. Though I knew intellectually what was
a better way to interact and to feel, all the garbage that I
hadnt dealt with that was left over from my own child-
hood stuff that had been hibernating in the back of my
mind about obedience, duty and control, and about
squelching my natural self to please the unrealistic
expectations of others, had gotten in the way. Since my
self-confidence and self-esteem were so low, it took a lot
of education and growth before I could internalize what I
knew and believed intellectually that, as Eda Le Shan
wrote: Our children are our own new beginnings, a tes-
tament to our trust in the future. The innocence, the
delight, the wonder, the vitality, the openness to life, of
childhood are necessary to us.
Its important for all of us to be reminded that when we
are interacting with babies and children, we need to give
some thought to where we are coming from. Are we all
caught up in original sin or maybe resentment from our
own upbringing, or are we free to fully appreciate the
wonderful little miracles of babies and little children
such as Savannah and Jons daughter. After all, Looking
into the eyes of a child, we see a glimpse of tomorrow.

Dow 14,559.65 +0.77% 10-Yr Bond 1.91 -047%

NEW YORK More good news on
the economy Tuesday drove the
Standard & Poors 500 index to within
two points of its record closing high.
The S&P rose 12.08 points, or 0.8
percent, to 1,563.77. Its record close of
1,565.16 was on Oct. 9, 2007, before
the Great Recession and ensuing finan-
cial crisis battered markets.
Rising home prices and orders for
manufactured goods drove all other
major indexes higher as well. The Dow
Jones industrial average rose 111.90
points, or 0.8 percent, to another record
high 14,559.65.
Unless something major comes
along to derail this rally, it just seems
like the market is going to keep climb-
ing higher, said Marty LeClerc, the
managing partner of Barrack Yard
Advisors, an investment firm in Bryn
Mawr, Pa.
Factory orders surged in February,
helped by stronger demand for com-
mercial aircraft. Overall orders for
durable goods, a catchall term for prod-
ucts ranging from refrigerators to
jumbo jets, jumped 5.7 percent from the
previous month, the Commerce
Department said Tuesday. It was the
biggest increase in five months.
All 10 industry groups in the S&P
500 rose, led by health care and energy
companies. But smaller companies,
which have been beating the market all
year, didnt do as well Tuesday. The
Nasdaq composite rose 17.18 points, or
0.5 percent, to 3,252.48, and the
Russell 2000 rose 3.97 points, or 0.4
percent, to 949.82.
Big-company stocks and small-com-
pany stocks often part ways, said Jack
Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO
Private Bank in Chicago. Recently,
Europe has been the reason. Big corpo-
rations generally do more business in
Europe, and their stocks had wavered
over the past week as traders watched
negotiations to rescue Cyprus.
After a deal was announced Sunday,
there was still uncertainty on Wall
Street Monday. But by Tuesday,
investors seemed back to focusing on
the U.S. economy, and stocks of big
companies rose the most.
By contrast, smaller companies are
less exposed to the rest of the world.
Thats part of the reason small-caps
have outpaced the market this year,
Ablin said. The Russell 2000 is up 11.8
percent this year, compared with 9.7
percent for the S&P 500.
European markets rose modestly as
investors gained confidence in the new
bailout plan arranged for Cyprus and its
banking system. Cyprus decided to
keep its banks closed for another two
days in an attempt to ward off panicked
withdrawals.
Netflix surged 5 percent, leading the
S&P 500, after an analyst at Pacific
Crest Securities said the stock will like-
ly climb as the company continues to
add subscribers. Netflixs database of
its members viewing habits should
give it an edge in creating shows and
draw more people to sign up for its
video-streaming service, the analyst
said. Netflix rose $9.82 to $190.61.
Housing prices rose in January at the
fastest pace since the summer of 2006,
before the housing bubble popped. The
Standard & Poors/Case-Shiller index
of prices in 20 cities was up 8.1 percent
over January 2012. That compared with
a 6.8 percent year-over-year increase in
the index in December. Prices rose in
all 20 cities, led by 23.2 percent in
Phoenix and 17.5 percent in San
Francisco.
S&P nears record as home prices surge
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Tuesday on the New
York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
Quicksilver Resources Inc., up 21 cents at $2.43
The natural gas producers scal fourth-quarter and full-year net income
and revenue were higher than it rst reported in February.

WASHINGTON Gains in housing and
manufacturing propelled the U.S. economy
over the winter, according to reports released
Tuesday, and analysts say they point to the
resilience of consumers and businesses as gov-
ernment spending cuts kick in.
U.S. home prices rose 8.1 percent in
January, the fastest annual rate since the peak
of the housing boom in the summer of 2006.
And demand for longer-lasting factory goods
jumped 5.7 percent in February, the biggest
increase in ve months.
February new-home sales and March con-
sumer condence looked a little shakier. But
the overall picture of an improving economy
drove stocks higher on Tuesday. The Dow
Jones industrial average rose 99 points in late-
afternoon trading. The Standard & Poors 500
index gained 10 points.
There is nothing in this data that says the
economy is falling back, said Joel Naroff,
chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors.
A recovery in housing has helped lift the
economy this year and is nally restoring
some of the wealth lost during the Great
Recession.
The year-over-year rise in home prices
reported by the Standard & Poors/Case
Shiller 20-city index was the fastest since June
2006. Prices rose in all 20 cities and eight mar-
kets posted double-digit increases, including
some of the hardest hit during the crisis. Prices
rose 23.2 percent in Phoenix, 17.5 percent in
San Francisco and 15.3 percent in Las Vegas.
The strength in home prices has far from
erased all the damage from the crisis. Home
prices nationwide are still 29 percent below
their peak reached in August 2006.
Still, steady gains should encourage more
people to buy and put their homes on the mar-
ket, keeping the recovery going. And higher
home prices make people feel wealthier,
which leads consumers to spend more and
drives more economic growth.
Sales of new homes cooled off in February
to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of
411,000. Thats down from Januarys pace of
431,000, which was the fastest since
September 2008.
Housing, manufacturing give U.S. economy lift
Consumer confidence falls in March
WASHINGTON Americans are less condent in the
economy than they were last month as massive government
spending cuts have stoked economic uncertainty.
Its just the latest swing in the way Americans feel about
the economy. Their views have uctuated between optimism
and angst over the months as theyve weighed an advancing
stock market and housing recovery against new economic
challenges.
From my standpoint, were still in a stalled recovery,
says Skip Tamke, a central New Jersey project manager for
a computer storage company who lost a job last May that
paid twice what hes earning now.
The Conference Board, a New York-based private research
group, said Tuesday that its Consumer Condence Index fell
in March to 59.7 from a revised reading of 68 in February
and the 68.7 that analysts polled by research rm FactSet
expected. Condence is still far off from the 90 reading that
indicates a healthy economy.
T-Mobile to start selling iPhones on April 12
NEW YORK T-Mobile USA on Tuesday said it will
start offering the iPhone on April 12, lling what its CEO
said was a huge void in its phone lineup.
T-Mobile, the fourth-largest of the national U.S. phone
companies, has been losing customers to the bigger compa-
nies, which all sell the iPhone.
This is a big deal for us, T-Mobile CEO John Legere said
at an event in New York.
The company will charge $100 up front for the iPhone 5,
then another $20 per month for two years. Thats on top of
service fees for voice, text and data that start at $50 per
month. The total monthly cost starts at $70 per month, a sub-
stantial discount to prices offered by bigger companies.
In some areas, where its network supports them, T-Mobile
will also sell the older iPhone 4, for $15 down and $15 per
month for two years, and the 4S for $70 plus $20 per month
for two years.

NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL
Aragon shortstop Annalise DiSanto res to rst for an out during the Dons 6-3 win over Terra Nova. DiSanto was a force at the plate as well,
going 2 for 4 with two RBIs and two runs scored.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Its hard to say a game is must-win three
games into the Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division season, but both the Aragon and
Terra Nova softball teams needed a win
Tuesday if they have any hope of challenging
for a post-season berth.
Both teams came into Tuesdays game with-
out a win in league play and early on, it
appeared the Tigers were in line for their ini-
tial victory in Bay Division play when Janelle
DeJong blasted a three-run home run in the
top of the third inning. But the Dons rallied
for two in the bottom of the frame and took
the lead for good with three runs in the fourth.
They tacked on an insurance run in the fth to
claim a 6-3 win.
[The win was] very important, said
Aragon coach Joe Sparaco. This was a must-
win because the girls deserved to be on the
winning side. Without this win, we might have
lost some enthusiasm.
Terra Nova coach Donna Tolero was look-
ing for any kind of positive momentum. With
three starting freshmen in the lineup, the
Tigers are experiencing some growing pains
thus far this season as they continue to search
for their rst win of the season.
Were just young and inexperienced,
Tolero said. Its a straight rebuilding year for
us.
It appeared it might be the Tigers day
Tuesday as they did a good job of making
contact against Aragon pitcher Sarah Nelson
in the early innings. They put two runners on
in the rst inning, but Nelson got out of the
jam. After being set down in order in the sec-
ond, Terra Nova (0-3 PAL Bay, 0-9 overall)
broke through in the third. Simala Afoa led off
the third with an ineld hit and stole second.
Gabby Spencer was then hit by a pitch to
bring up DeJong, who jumped on the rst
pitch she saw and ried a bullet to the fence in
right-center eld. She motored around the
bases and dove head-rst into home for a
three-run homer to give the Tigers their rst
lead of the season.
It was short-lived momentum, however.
After getting only one base runner on in the
rst two innings, Aragon (1-2, 4-9) got on the
scoreboard in the bottom of the third. With
one out, Danny Barros and Annalise DiSanto
both reached on errors, and Courtney Ching
Dons down Terra Nova

The College of San Mateo baseball team nally
reached the .500 mark overall and moved its con-
ference record to 6-4 with a 6-1 win yesterday
over West Valley, while Skyline won for the third
time in four games with a 4-3 victory over
Hartnell.
Caada was not as fortunate, however, as the
Colts dropped a 7-4 decision to Cabrillo.
CSM, which was ranked No. 1 in Northern
California in the opening preseason poll, has
struggled at times this year but evened its overall
record at 12-12 with Tuesdays win. The Bulldogs
were held scoreless for the rst three innings
before erupting for ve runs in the bottom of the
fourth inning. Ryan OMalley drove in the rst run
of the game with a single to right and Kailen
Robinson drove in two more with a triple to the
left-center eld gap. Joe Armstrong also drove in a
run with a sacrice y. The Bulldogs added an
insurance run in the fth on a DeFazio RBI single.
Pitcher Zac Grotz picked up the win for CSM,
pitching eight strong innings, scattering ve hits
and striking out six.
Skyline (4-8 Pacic Division Coast Conference,
7-17 overall) picked up its win when pinch hitter
Par Axelsson drove in the game-winning run in the
bottom of the eighth inning, driving in Robin
Lausen.
The Trojans fell behind 2-0 after Hartnell scored
in top of the fourth inning. Skyline got one of the
run back in the bottom of the frame when A.J.
Santiago scored on a Hartnell throwing error.
Hartnell pushed its lead to 3-1 with a run fth, but
again the Trojans got the run back in the bottom of
the inning on a two-out, RBI single from Michael
Thompson.
Skyline tied the game in the bottom of the sixth
on a strange sequence. With two outs, Lucciano
Molina reached on an ineld single and was lifted
for pinch runner Merrick Belding, who stole sec-
ond.
Then the play got wacky. Belding took off for
third after the throw from the Hartnell catcher
went into center eld. The throw back to the
ineld hit Hartnells second baseman in the back
of the head and it caromed back into the outeld,
enabling Belding to score the tying run.
Bryan Hidalgo was the beneciary of the come-
back as he picked up the win on the mound with
eight solid innings of work to run his record to 2-
5. Daniel Morales came on in the top of the ninth
to earn his rst save of the season.
Caada jumped out to a 4-2 lead after ve
innings, but Cabrillo scored three runs in the top of
the sixth and tacked on single runs in the seventh
and eighth innings to post the 7-4 win.
Justin Gubser and Kevin McGovern each drove
in a run, and Dylan Cook had two hits for the
Colts. Pierce Precht took the loss for Caada, giv-
ing up ve runs on six hits in six innings of work.
The Colts dropped to 10-13 overall and 6-6 in
Pacic Division play with the loss.

STANFORD For months, coach Tara
VanDerveer has been challenging Joslyn
Tinkle and Stanfords supporting cast to take
the pressure off Chiney Ogwumike.
Tinkle and Co. did just that to send the top-
seeded Cardinal to the Spokane Regional
seminals.
Tinkle made a career-high ve 3-pointers on
the way to 21 points in her nal home game at
Maples Pavilion, and Stanford used a spectac-
ular perimeter shooting performance to rout
No. 8 seed Michigan 73-40 on Tuesday night.
Ogwumike had 12 points and 15 rebounds
on a night when the Cardinals shooters did
their part just as VanDerveer has been hoping
they would.
Sara James shut down Michigan star Kate
Thompson and scored nine points, and
Stanford (33-2) won its 19th straight game to
set up a matchup with fourth-seeded Georgia
on Saturday and move a step closer to the pro-
grams goal of a sixth straight Final Four.
Jenny Ryan scored 11 points in her nal col-
lege game to lead Michigan (22-11), which
matched its second-lowest scoring output all
season .
Tinkle, Stanfords lone senior, shot 7 for 10
and made all of her 3-point attempts as the
Cardinal hit a season-best 12 3s. She also had
six rebounds, three assists and two blocks.
Tinkles father, Wayne, the Montana mens
coach, cheered her in person while former
Stanford star Candice Wiggins offered a
Joslyn Tinkle! shout out via Twitter.

MEXICO CITY Brad Guzan swatted
away shot after shot and the Americans hung on
for a 0-0 draw with Mexico on Tuesday night,
earning only their second point in a World Cup
qualier at Azteca Stadium.
The tie moves the U.S. into third place in
World Cup qualifying for the North and Central
American and Caribbean region, one point
behind Panama and behind Costa Rica on goal
difference. The Americans and Costa Ricans
both have four points, but the Ticos are ahead on
goal difference.
Mexico coach Manuel de la Torre is sure to
come under re after a third straight draw. El Tri
had plenty of chances, but couldnt nish and
were dismal on set pieces. Mexico had 15 corner
kicks, including three in the last two minutes of
stoppage time, and Guzan body-blocked the
most dangerous one, by Angel Reyna.
FIFA upholds US win over Costa Rica
ZURICH FIFA has upheld the United

Arizona and Ohio State reaching
the West Regions seminals was
not much of a surprise. Both are
loaded with talent, have great
coaches and were relatively high
seeds.
The rest of the West was a mess,
at least in terms of trying to put
together a bracket.
New Mexico, Kansas State and
Mississippi, seed Nos. 3-5, didnt
get past their rst games. Top-seed-
ed Gonzaga struggled in its rst
game, lost its second. La Salle had
to win a play-in game, then knocked
off two teams with better seeds.
Of the 12 games in the region,
seven were won by teams with the
worst seed, by far the most of the
NCAA tournaments four regions.
The West has indeed been wild,
so, in a way, it seems tting that
Wichita State and La Salle would
play in the nightcap of the regional
seminals Thursday night at Staples
Center in Los Angeles.
Its not parity. Everyones good,
La Salle coach John Giannini said.
Maybe no one is great the way
Jordan, Perkins and Worthy were,
Patrick Ewings teams, but every-
body is good.
Its a hard point to argue.
Gonzaga came into the NCAA
tournament as the nations hottest
team, ranked No. 1 the nal two
weeks of the regular season and one
of four No. 1 seeds in the eld of 68.
The Zags labored in their opener
before pulling away from Southern
University to avoid becoming the
rst No. 1 seed to lose to a No. 16.
Instead, Gonzaga became the rst
top seed to go down in this years
tournament, knocked out by the
somewhat shocking Shockers of
Wichita State.
I lost it a little bit, just the instant
reaction and realizing this was the
nish, Gonzaga senior Mike Hart
said after the 76-70 loss. Thats the
brutality of the NCAA tournament,
how great it can be and how quickly
it can all end.
That was certainly the case in the
wild West.
No. 14 seed Harvard blew up
brackets everywhere with a
Revenge of the Nerds-type victory
over No. 3 New Mexico, a favorite
dark horse pick to reach the Final
Four.
Wisconsin was unable to build off
its Big Ten tournament champi-
onship, bounced out of the tourna-
ment by Mississippi and its mouthy
guard Marshall Henderson.
La Salle didnt even get its own
seeding; the Explorers had to share
it with Boise State, earning the spot
by beating the Broncos in the First
Four. La Salle followed that up by
taking out No. 4 Kansas State and
made it three wins in ve days by
bringing down Henderson and the
Rebels.
Wichita State pulled off a mild
upset in its opening game by rolling
over No. 8 seed Pittsburgh, then
took down a tournament titan, rally-
ing from an eight-point second-half
decit to beat Gonzaga.
The way that West brackets
shook down, theyve got a great
chance of winning a couple more
games, Kansas coach Bill Self said
of the neighboring Shockers. It
will be interesting.
The next chapter in this whats-
going-to-happen-next tale comes
Thursday night, when Wichita State
and La Salle meet in a seminal for
the little guys.
La Salle got into the NCAA tour-
nament for the rst time since 1992
and hasnt been this far in the brack-
et in ve decades, before there was
a round of 16. With their three wins
so far, the Explorers have won more
NCAA tournament games in a week
than in the previous 58 years com-
bined.
Wichita State has had a bit more
recent success, winning 109 games
the past four seasons, including an
NIT title and consecutive trips to the
NCAA tournament. Even with their
success, the Shockers still dont
make much of a blip on the radar,
playing under the shadow of Kansas
and Kansas State in their own state
and being overshadowed by
Creighton and All-American for-
ward Doug McDermott in the
Missouri Valley Conference most of
this season.
The winner Thursday night in the
underdog half of the bracket will get
a shot at even bigger glory.
You keep winning, youll get
notoriety, Wichita State coach
Gregg Marshall said.
Oh, by the way, the other side of
the West bracket features one of the
best matchups so far in the NCAA
tournament.
Ohio State, the Wests No. 2 seed,
went to the Final Four last season,
has one of the countrys best coach-
es in Thad Matta and do-everything
guard Aaron Craft, who plays
defense like a pit bull and hit a last-
second 3-pointer against Iowa State
to get the Buckeyes to LA.
Arizona appears to be all the way
back from its brief fall from grace
after the retirement of Lute Olson
thanks to Sean Miller, a top-of-the-
class recruiter whos just as good at
managing a game. The sixth-seeded
Wildcats have a young, deep front-
court, a pair of big-play guards in
Mark Lyons and Nick Johnson, and
rolled through their opening two
games in the tournament.
Were waiting for you in LA,
Miller told Matta, one of his closest
friends in coaching, in a text after
both teams won over the weekend.

written envelope from Libertyville,
Ind., he realizes he better have a good
answer for that 90-year-old retired
schoolteacher, too.
In Indiana, seemingly everyone is a
basketball expert and talking about it
has no boundaries.
My favorite story is this little old
lady who writes me in longhand and
says I dont know much about basket-
ball, but I really enjoy watching the
boys play, and can you also explain to
me why when were playing a 1-3-1
zone, we dont push anyone out to the
elbow? Glass said with not even a
hint of a chuckle. She says all this
after she says she doesnt know much
about basketball.
Here, basketball is treated like a
kings sport. Stars are considered roy-
alty and the Hoosiers still rule the
state, especially now, just two wins
away from their rst Final Four trip
since 2002 after one of the grandest
comeback stories in its storied history.
Five years ago, coach Tom Crean
took over a program that had just two
returning players and had been sullied
by scandal.
Over the next three years, the proud
Hoosiers won just 28 games. Then
came Cody Zellers commitment,
Christian Watfords buzzer-beating 3-
pointer against then-No. 1 Kentucky, a
trip to the round of the 16 and sudden-
ly the Hoosiers were back.
But even during the bleak years, the
passion for Indiana basketball never
wavered.
The Hoosiers continued to be
ranked in the top 10 nationally in
attendance even as Butler reached
back-to-back national championship
games and rival Purdue contended for
Big Ten titles while Indiana lagged at
the bottom of the league.
There was no shortage in interest,
either. People talked about it year-
round on radio talk shows and mes-
sage boards, at Little League baseball
games and swim meets and certainly
at local bars.
So when the Hoosiers hit it big last
year, of course the eager fans went
bonkers. Glass said from the 2010-11
academic school year to 2011-12,
alumni donations increased by $1 mil-
lion. Thats up an additional 22 percent
this year.
Merchandise sales have increased
about 30 percent since last year, too,
and the teams famous candy-stripe
pants, which cost $75, have become all
the rage in grade schools, middle
schools and high schools around the
state. Theyre so popular that some
people who ordered the striped pants
in October are still waiting for their
Christmas gifts to arrive.
According to Glass, even some
within the athletic department didnt
realize Indiana was last ranked No. 1
in the preseason poll in 1979, had gone
20 years without winning an outright
Big Ten crown or had earned a No. 1
seed in the NCAA tournament only
two other times. And now that theyre
back in the regional seminals, facing
fourth-seeded Syracuse on Thursday
night in Washington, Hoosiers fans are
holding their emotions in check for
something far bigger their rst title
run since 1987 when Keith Smart beat
the Orange on that famous baseline
shot.
This year has been different
because the expectations were so high.
But I think its harder to exceed lofty
goals than to overcome milder ones,
Glass said. So were not dancing and
celebrating the Sweet 16, because
thats what we want at Indiana and
thats what we expect.
Basketball is the great unier in
Indiana, bringing together young fans
and old, boys and girls, those from
urban areas and tiny rural communi-
ties. For decades, of course, the state
high school basketball tournament was
up for grabs for any school, no matter
how small.
Dan Dakich, a radio talk show host
who grew up in the northwest Indiana,
played high school ball at Andrean,
near Chicago. He played at Indiana
and served as a longtime assistant on
Bob Knights staff before taking the
head coaching gig at Bowling Green,
then returned to Indiana in 2008 and
wound up serving as the interim coach
when Kelvin Sampson was red amid
NCAA recruiting violations.
The one thing that really demon-
strated it to me was when Indiana was
ready to get rid of Kelvin Sampson
even though he had a good team and
even though he was winning, Dakich
said. Dont get me wrong. I liked
Kelvin. But the fans didnt just want to
win, they wanted to win the right way
and you just dont always nd that.
Indiana buzzing as
Hoosiers make run
GAINESVILLE, Fla. March
Madness in the Sunshine State has long
meant little to most people in Florida.
Sure, the Florida Gators have been an
NCAA tournament staple during coach
Billy Donovans tenure, which includes
back-to-back national championships
(2006-07).
Everywhere else in the football-fren-
zied state, though, the closest fans usu-
ally get to college basketballs biggest
stage is taking part in ofce pools and
watching bracket-busting games on tel-
evision.
With second-seeded Miami, third-
seeded Florida and darling Florida Gulf
Coast advancing in the NCAA tourna-
ment, basketball has taken center stage
all across the peninsula. Throw in the
Miami Heats 27-game winning streak,
six shy of tying the NBA record set by
the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers, and
hoops is the hottest thing going in
Florida.
Spring football? Not now. Baseball
spring training? Please. Even the beau-
tiful beaches cant compete with whats
happening on the hardwood.
This time of year, so many people
are captivated by the NCAA tourna-
ment, Donovan said Tuesday.
Certainly, when you have three teams
from the state of Florida still playing in
the NCAA tournament and in the
Sweet 16, I think its certainly going to
draw a lot of attention to basketball.
Its certainly a change, too.
Not only does Florida have three
schools in the round of 16 for the rst
time, each program reached milestones
in this NCAA tournament.
Miami, the No. 2 seed in the East
Regional, earned its highest seeding in
school history and made it to the round
of 16 for the rst time since 2000 and
second time since joining Division I in
1985. The Hurricanes face third-seeded
Marquette on Thursday in Washington,
D.C.
Florida, the No. 3 seed in the South
Regional, advanced to round of 16 for
the third consecutive year the rst
time thats happened in the programs
18 tournament appearances. The
Gators play streaking Florida Gulf
Coast on Friday night in Arlington,
Texas.
And theres little left to say about
Florida Gulf Coast, which became the
rst 15 seed to advance to the round of
16 in tournament history. The Eagles
knocked off Georgetown and San
Diego State in Philadelphia over the
weekend to make history, capturing
fans along the way with their up-tempo
offense, alley-oop passes and high-y-
ing dunks.
When FGCU players returned to
class Monday, they were greeted by
applause. Later that night, about 4,000
fans attended a pep rally inside the
schools arena to celebrate the pro-
grams accomplishment.
We think we can compete with
them, coach Andy Eneld said. If we
play well, well have a chance to win
the game.
Donovan agrees, saying FGCU
shouldnt be considered Cinderella at
this point.
The country may give a team a
label, but we never do that, Donovan
said. This is a really good team that
has played exceptionally well. The
seeding and all that stuff, it doesnt
mean anything. When the ball goes up
in the air, youre playing against each
other. This is a team that beat Miami,
beat Georgetown, knocked off San
Diego State. They went into their con-
ference championship, basically on the
road, and beat Mercer on their home
court.
You dont do those things unless
you are really good.
Sunshine State teams are
gleaming in NCAA spotlight

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. San Francisco
Giants manager Bruce Bochy saw something
very positive this spring training few
injuries for the World Series champions.
It looks like were coming out of it pretty
good, Bochy said Tuesday after a 4-2 victory
over San Diego in the Giants nal home game
of the spring at Scottsdale Stadium.
The Giants will wrap up the Arizona portion
of their schedule on Wednesday by playing at
the Diamondbacks before returning home for a
three-game Bay Bridge exhibition series with
the Oakland Athletics.
The only injury concern for Bochy at this
point appears to be the status of third baseman
Pablo Sandoval, who has been sidelined with
inammation of a nerve in his right elbow.
Bochy said he is hopeful that the World Series
MVP will be ready for opening day on April 1
against Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium.
Two of Bochys top hitters this spring deliv-
ered once again. Hunter Pence hit a tiebreak-
ing, two-run double in the fth inning and is
hitting .361.
Brandon Belt, who started in left eld and
nished at his regular rst base spot, had three
hits to raise his average to .453 after sitting out
two games with a mild neck strain.
And perhaps the best news for the Giants
came from one of the side elds, where open-
ing day starter Matt Cain pitched a simulated
game against minor leaguers in order to avoid
the NL West Padres. The right-hander pitched
six innings and threw 93 pitches.
Marco Scutaro came up with a rare play, tak-
ing an extra base after a walk. The MVP of last
years NL championship series drew a two-out
walk in the third inning, sprinted to rst, then
kept going and stole second.
You dont get that opportunity very often,
said Scutaro, who also accomplished the feat in
2002 and 2009. I dont know how many years
its going to take me now (to do it again).
Pences double came off San Diego starter
Andrew Cashner.
Cashner, a right-hander who is battling for
the fth spot in manager Bud Blacks rotation,
had a solid effort. He gave up two runs on three
hits, walked two and struck out four in four
innings.
I thought I threw the ball well, said
Cashner, who threw 72 pitches.
Cashner said he has not had much luck
throwing breaking balls in the desert air, but
those types of pitches worked better against the
Giants.
I mixed curveballs and sliders. It was one of
my best outings as far as pitch execution goes,
he said.
Carlos Quentin made his rst start of the
spring in left eld for the Padres after dealing
with soreness in his right knee in the aftermath
of offseason surgery. He said he felt good and
hopes to continue to make progress toward the
April 1 opener against the Mets in New York.
Logan Forsythe, expected to play third while
Padres star Chase Headley heals from a frac-
tured thumb, has had health issues of his own
plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He played
three innings on Tuesday.
NOTES: INF Brock Bond was chosen as the
Giants Harry S. Jordan Award recipient. The
honor goes to the minor leaguer in his rst big
league camp who exemplies the teams spirit.
... Padres 1B Yadier Alonso had scraped knuck-
les when hit by the ball on a swing in the sev-
enth inning. He was ruled out on batters inter-
ference and Giants C Guillermo Quiroz was
nicked.
Scutaro turns walk into double
By Gary Schatz
GOODYEAR, Ariz. Brett Anderson is
ready for the season to start.
Anderson, Oaklands opening-day pitcher,
gave up three runs and six hits in 5 1-3 innings,
and the Athletics went on to beat the Cleveland
Indians 7-6 in 10 innings on Tuesday.
Once I get this last start out of the way, it will
hit me, Anderson said. Its an honor to go out
there and get that rst start. Its going to be excit-
ing.
Anderson missed most of last season for the
Athletics recovery from elbow surgery but made
it back for the playoffs. He pitched six scoreless
innings against Detroit in the AL Division series.
I threw some good fastballs and changes to
get some ground balls. Im ready to get up in the
bigs with some humidity maybe the breaking
ball will be better, Anderson said. It was good
to get my stamina built up.
Eric Sogard doubled home Michael Choice
with the tying run in the fth inning and then
scored two outs later on Yoenis Cespedes fourth
home run of the spring to put the As up 5-3.
Jose Ramirez had an RBI single in the ninth,
advanced to third on Ryan Rohlingers single to
center and scored the tying run on Travis
Blackleys wild pitch.
We want to use Buckley for multiple
innings, Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. It
is something we are trying to make a decision on.
Those are the situations you evaluate closely.
Blackley also pitched the 10th and picked up
the win.
Daric Bartons two-out single in the top of the
10th put Oakland back ahead, and Nate Freiman
scored two batters later on a bases-loaded walk to
Luke Montz to increase the lead to 7-5.
Todd Hankins had an RBI grounder for the
Indians in the bottom of the 10th.
Zach McAllister, who will make the major
league opening day roster for the rst time, gave
up ve runs and eight hits in 5 2-3 innings.
Delivery wise I felt very good. I had good life
on my fastball, McAllister said. Every thing
was good except for that curve ball to Cespedes.
Hes a really good hitter I wanted to be aggres-
sive and I made too good of a pitch for him to
hit.
McAllister had to iron out his mechanics after
he was told he earned a spot in the starting rota-
tion.
My spring was up and down, McAllister
said. Half way through I got out of sync a little
bit mechanically. I got a little frustrated by that. I
was extremely happy today with my delivery. I
wasnt happy with the results. I wanted to go out
and put up zeros but I got my delivery back and
thats what makes me successful
Brandon Moss doubled and Josh Reddick
tripled for Oakland.
Grant Balfour, recovering from arthroscopic
surgery on his right knee on Feb. 14, retired all
three batters he faced for the As.
Indians closer Chris Perez made his rst of-
cial spring appearance since straining his right
shoulder on Feb. 26. He retired all three batters
he faced, one by strikeout.
Perez looked really good, Indians manager
Terry Francona said. He felt good. He said he
was a little rusty. I didnt look like that. He was
throwing free and easy and letting it y. The ball
came out of his hands really well.
NOTES: Daisuke Matsuzaka and Matt Capps
signed minor league contracts with the Indians.
Both players were released from contracts earli-
er this week to avoid the $100,000 retention
bonus that is mandated by the collective bargain-
ing agreement. ... Balfour has made three appear-
ances since returning from his surgery. They
told me I would be out 4-6 weeks and Im back
in four. All my stuff is ready for the season,
Balfour said. He has retired all nine batters hes
faced. ... Athletics 2B Adam Rosales was placed
on the 15-day disabled list with strained left
intercostal muscles (muscles in the ribs). Rosales
was injured Monday night while making a throw
in a game against Milwaukee.
Cespedes goes deep in As win
SACRAMENTO Sacramentos City
Council is scheduled to consider a wide-rang-
ing deal Tuesday night thats designed to
nance a new arena and keep the NBAs Kings
from moving to Seattle.
The panel is to vote on a package that would
use parking fees from events at the new down-
town arena.
City ofcials reached a preliminary agree-
ment Saturday with the investment group that
hopes to keep the Kings from moving, but the
late negotiations leave little time for council
members to study the proposal before the vote.
Opponents have argued that the city should
not be paying to subsidize billionaires.
Sacramento is hoping to block a bid by
group that has a pending purchase agreement
to buy the Kings from the Maloof family,
move the team to Seattle and restore the
SuperSonics name. That group, led by hedge-
fund manager Chris Hansen and Microsoft
Chief Executive Steve Ballmer, has had a deal
to acquire a 65 percent stake in the team for
$341 million since January.
The Sacramento investment group includes
Silicon Valley software tycoon Vivek
Ranadive, 24 Hour Fitness founder Mark
Mastrov and billionaire Ron Burkle, co-owner
of the NHLs Pittsburg Penguins. Sacramento
Mayor Kevin Johnson announced late Monday
that Paul Jacobs, CEO of the international
technology company Qualcomm, has also
agreed to become part of the Sacramento bid.
While they have united to buy the team,
whether the NBA would allow them to stay
hinges on a deal to replace the aging Sleep
Train Arena in the suburbs four miles north of
downtown.
Johnson, a former NBA all-star, said the
deal would avoid new taxes and ensure a net
impact to the citys general fund. Johnson has
the ear of NBA Commissioner David Stern,
but he must convince other team owners not to
approve the move.
The new $447 million arena would be built
on the site of the Downtown Plaza, an aging
shopping mall whose tenants have ed to the
suburbs, taking sales tax revenues with them.
Johnson said Monday that the term sheet for
the arena deal includes a long-term deal to
keep the Kings in the city. He said a new arena
would revitalize the west end of downtown
and bring new businesses to the area.

AUSTIN, Texas Vince Young picked some familiar ground as
he tries to resurrect his sinking NFL career.
Out of football since being cut by the Buffalo Bills before last sea-
son, the former University of Texas star used the Longhorns pro
timing day workouts Tuesday to throw passes in front on scouts for
30 teams.
Seven years earlier, Young used the same venue to make his case
as the top quarterback in the draft. This time, he was just trying to
show teams hes worthy of a roster spot.
Young declined interviews with dozens of reporters, but Youngs
agent Jerry Marlatt told The Associated Press that Young chose the
Texas workout because hes comfortable on campus and it got him
in front of nearly every team at once.
Young is enrolled in school and nish his degree in May, Marlatt
said.
This is a good spot for him, Marlatt said.
Marlatt said Young doesnt have any individual team workouts
scheduled yet, but called Tuesday the opening shot ... Hes show-
ing teams hes been working out, throwing and getting ready.
The 29-year-old Young, has been on a dizzying fall since he was
drafted third overall by the Tennessee Titans in 2006 after leading
the Longhorns to the national championship. The 2006 Offensive
Rookie of the Year twice played in the Pro Bowl with the Titans.
But questions over his work ethic, leadership and injuries led to
his release from Tennessee after the 2010 season. Young played
2011 as a backup in Philadelphia and was trying to make the roster
in Buffalo when he was cut there.
Young threw for about 30 minutes in a workout directed by Texas
offensive coordinator Major Applewhite. Most of the scouts that
came to inspect Texas players such as safety Kenny Vacarro and
defensive end Alex Okafor, stayed to watch Young throw. Despite
the recent trend of offenses using the read-option Young did not run
for scouts.

ALAMEDA Tackle Alex Barron
signed a free-agent contract with the
Oakland Raiders on Tuesday as he
hopes to revive his career after sitting
out the past two seasons.
Barron, a former rst round pick by
St. Louis in 2005, has started just one
game since 2009. After playing spar-
ingly in Dallas in 2010, Barron missed
the entire 2011 season with New
Orleans with a knee injury and was cut
in training camp last summer by
Seattle.
Oakland was one of the few teams to
show interest in Barron this offseason
as the Raiders look to bolster their
offensive line as they shift from a zone
blocking scheme to a power-based
offense under line coach Tony Sparano.
Barron has experience playing both
left and right tackle, although Jared
Veldheer is entrenched on the left side
in Oakland. The Raiders recently re-
signed right tackle Khalif Barnes.
Barnes also has some experience play-
ing guard.
Barron is the rst offensive addition
made by the Raiders this offseason as
general manager Reggie McKenzie has
spent the opening weeks of free agency
focusing on building up the defense.
Barron started 74 games in his rst
ve seasons with the Rams after being
drafted 19th overall out of Florida State.
He struggled in St. Louis with 43 false
starts, 13 holding penalties and 33
sacks allowed in his ve seasons,
according to STATS LLC.

walked to load the bases. Jessy Doss drove in
the rst Aragon run with a single to shallow
right eld and Sophia Cerreta drove in the sec-
ond run of the inning with a bases-loaded walk.
Terra Nova pitcher Makena Borovina got out of
the inning without any further damage, howev-
er, but the Dons were buoyed by the uprising.
Weve been down more and come back,
said DiSanto, who was 2 for 4 with two runs
scored and two runs driven in. We werent dis-
couraged.
Aragon took the lead for good with a trio of
runs in the bottom of the fourth as the Dons
sent nine batters to the plate. Kaylyn Majasich
led off with a single to center and stole second
and third, with Nelson drawing a walk to put
runners on the corners and bring up DiSanto.
After Nelson stole second to get into scoring
position, DiSanto smacked a 1-1 offering to
right eld for a two-run single to give Aragon a
4-3 lead.
Were kind of that team that takes a while to
wake up, DiSanto said. The speed (on the
pitches) was really slow and there was a weird
spin on it. The second time we came up, we
adjusted.
After her two-run single, DiSanto stole sec-
ond and went to third on a wild pitch. She
ended up scoring on a Ching groundout to put
the Dons up 5-3.
Aragon scratched out one more run in the
fth. Barros reached on an ineld hit, stole sec-
ond and went to third on a DiSanto single.
Ching then legged out a bunt single and, when
the ball was thrown away, Barros came in to
score for a 6-3 Aragon lead.
Credit Terra Nova, however, which did not
go down without a ght. In the top of the sev-
enth, the Tigers got back-to-back singles to
open the inning from Haley ONeill and
Arianna Johnson to knock Nelson from the cir-
cle. Cerreta came in to relieve Nelson and got
the rst batter she faced to y out to center and
then got the next batter on a comebacker.
DeJong, however, walked to load the bases and
became the tying run at rst. Elizabeth Smith
came up and worked the count full before
swinging through a low offering from Cerreta
to end the game.

Spokane is a comfortable Northwest second
home for Stanford considering the Cardinal
played there in the 2008 NCAA regional and
again in 2011 and now this season, too.
Ogwumike will lead them back.
The Pac-12 Player of the Year scored 29
points in a hard-fought 72-56 rst-round win
against No. 16 seed Tulsa on Sunday, when
Stanford used a 48-point and 65.5-percent
shooting second half to advance.
While Ogwumike set the tone on the boards
Tuesday, she watched the shooters get on an
early roll that lasted all 40 minutes.
Stanford made seven of its rst 11 3-point-
ers and nished 12 for 25 while holding one of
the nations best long-range shooters
Thompson in check on the other end. The
Cardinal shot 53.8 percent overall to 29.2 per-
cent by the Wolverines, and Stanford held a
35-22 rebounding advantage.
Bonnie Samuelson came off the bench to hit
back-to-back 3s late in the rst half, and
Tinkles 3-pointer at the 14:09 mark of the
second half put Stanford up by 30.
Even when the Wolverines had high-per-
centage scoring chances, they struggled.
During one sequence early in the second half,
Sam Arnold missed a layup, grabbed her own
rebound and missed again.
Cold-shooting Michigan, which beat ninth-
seeded Villanova 60-52 in the rst round,
couldnt overcome Thompson being thor-
oughly shut down.
The 6-foot-4 wing player, with her 14.5-
point average and 39.3-percent shooting from
3-point range, missed her rst 10 shots, mak-
ing ve free throws before hitting her lone
basket with 3:41 to play. She was 1 for 11
overall and missed all six of her 3-point tries.
First-year Michigan coach Kim Barnes
Arico was sent home in the second round by
Stanford for the second time in three years.
Her St. Johns team lost 75-49 on the
Cardinals home oor in 2011.
This time, Stanford overpowered Michigan
on both ends to win its eighth straight home
game in the NCAA tournament since a stun-
ning second-round defeat to Florida State in
2007.
The Wolverines starting lineup featuring
four seniors couldnt pull off the same kind of
upset the schools volleyball team did at
Berkeley in December to deny the favored
Cardinal a trip to the Final Four.
Barnes Arico has reached ve NCAA tour-
naments and four in a row, and her teams have
always won at least one game. Last season, St.
Johns lost to Duke in the Fresno Regional
seminals.
Stanford made ve of its initial eight shots
and jumped to an early 6-2 edge on the boards
ve by Ogwumike alone for a 13-5 lead
at the 14:36 mark of the rst half.
From the opening tip, Thompson faced
swarming defense from James with and with-
out the ball and struggled to get shots, let
alone uncontested looks. Thompson airballed
her rst 3-point try from the baseline as the
Wolverines began the game 3 for 10, and
Stanford had already hit four 3s and made
eight of 11 shots to take a 21-7 lead.
Thompson shot another airball under pres-
sure early in the second half and quickly
missed again from long range on the left wing.
Former Stanford stars Jayne Appel and
Brooke Smith were in attendance to see their
former team improve to 28-4 overall at home
in the tournament.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Denny Hamlin will
be sidelined at least six weeks because of a
fractured vertebra sustained in a last-lap crash
at California.
Hamlin was evaluated Tuesday by Dr. Jerry
Petty of Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine
Associates. While it was determined Hamlin
wont need surgery, the L1 compression frac-
ture in his lower back needs time to heal.
Dr. Petty will make the determination
when Hamlin will be able to return to racing
this season, Joe Gibbs Racing said in a state-
ment.
While there was no ofcial word from
Hamlin in the statement, he tweeted: I wish I
got good news today.. I didnt.
Hamlin has made 264 consecutive Sprint
Cup Series starts, 13th most among active
drivers. He raced two weeks after undergoing
knee surgery during an off week in 2010, and
completed the race at Phoenix without a
replacement driver despite obvious pain.
If he heals according to Pettys estimated
timeline, hed only miss ve races because
NASCAR is off this weekend. But among the
next five are stops at Martinsville and
Richmond, where the Virginia-raised driver
has a combined six wins. He also hosts and
competes in an annual charity race at RIR.
Joe Gibbs Racing said no decision has been
made on a replacement for Hamlin, who is
10th in the Sprint Cup Series standings. But
the team has former Cup regulars Elliott
Sadler and Brian Vickers in its stable in the
Nationwide Series, and both will likely get
seat time in the No. 11 Toyota.
Vickers is scheduled to drive the Sprint Cup
race at Martinsville for Michael Waltrip
Racing.
Hamlin was injured when his car hit head-
on into an interior wall at Auto Club
Speedway after contact with Joey Logano.

FOOD 19
By Sara Moulton
I love lamb, in every way and every cut.
But I dont eat it very often because of the
same thing that tends to make it so very deli-
cious its fattiness.
Still, all bets are off during Easter, when I
happily bow to tradition. In Easters past, Ive
roasted a whole leg of lamb or part of a leg,
and prepared it in a Mediterranean fashion.
Trouble is, theres always so much left over.
So this year Im going with smaller lamb
steaks that are cut from the leg, one of the
leanest cuts of lamb (especially if you also
trim away any fat).
In fact, the leg is so lean you have to figure
out how to replace the flavor and moisture
that goes missing when you kiss the fat good-
bye. In this recipe, that is accomplished with
a rosemary-garlic rub with added salt. When
you rub a piece of protein with salt and let it
sit, the salt eventually makes the meat juici-
er. It works like a brine, minus the liquid.
Having chosen a lean cut of meat, I also
wanted a lean way to cook it. Grilling fit the
bill. The problem is that grills are banned
here in New York City. And elsewhere in the
country, many people still havent hauled
their grills out of storage for the season yet.
The solution is a grill pan. In my opinion,
every home should have one. Grilling done
properly that is, as long as you dont
incinerate the ingredient in question is a
healthy way to coax flavor out of meats and
vegetables, not least because it requires very
little fat.
Grilled marinated lamb all by itself is pret-
ty darn tasty, but I wanted to gild the lily a
bit. After all, it is Easter. Since I already was
giving the lamb the Mediterranean treatment
with a rosemary-garlic rub, I thought why not
top it with an egg-lemon sauce, a stalwart of
the Greek culinary repertoire?
But egg-lemon sauces can be tricky
because the sauce is thickened only by the
egg. If you dont cook it enough, the sauce
wont thicken. If you cook it too much, the
eggs scramble. So I stabilized the sauce by
adding cornstarch, which makes it creamy
and curd-less, and allowed me to keep it hot
over low heat without any worries.
I finished the sauce with chopped baby
artichokes since artichokes and lemon are
such a happy pair. I like frozen artichokes
because unlike the canned or bottled vari-
eties, theres no salt or oil added to them.
Then I caramelized them under the broiler
for a few minutes to concentrate their flavor.
Of course, if you have the time and inclina-
tion to prep and cook fresh baby artichokes,
please go ahead. You can poach them in
acidulated water until tender, then add them
to the sauce.
How to serve this dish? One of our prob-
lems these days is what is delicately referred
to as portion control. Less delicately, we eat
too much. My strategy is to present protein
on a plate so that it looks plentiful, even
though the portion isnt huge. In this case, 4
ounces of sliced steak, fanned out a bit, looks
like more than 4 ounces of an unsliced steak.
Just be sure to let the steaks rest before you
slice them so that theyre nice and juicy. And
remember to add the juice from the plate
with the resting lamb to the sauce, which will
marry the two. See for yourself; its a happy
marriage. Every bites a winner.

Mont. looks at allowing
people to eat roadkill
By Kathryn Haake
HELENA, Mont. Elk, deer, antelope and moose: If
Montana residents can scrape it up, they can eat it.
State lawmakers are poised to say just that after the Senate
gave its initial backing Wednesday to a bill that would allow
people to salvage roadkill for food. The measure is now a nal
vote from heading to Gov. Steve Bullock.
It makes no sense to let the carcasses of big-game go to
waste on Montanas roadways, supporters said.
It really is a sin to waste a good meat, said state Sen. Larry
Jent, D-Bozeman.
The measure calls for law-enforcement ofcers to issue per-
mits to individuals who would be allowed to remove the car-
casses of elk, deer, antelope and moose off the states road-
ways. An earlier version would have allowed fur-bearing ani-
mals, upland game birds and migratory game birds to be
scraped up, too, but it got canned.
Opponents question whether the meat would be safe and
whether it would create liability issues for food banks that
accept it. Sen. Kendall Van Dyk, D-Billings, said law-enforce-
ment ofcers are not qualied to decide whether roadkill is
safe to eat.
GRILLED LAMB STEAKS WITH
ARTICHOKE LEMON SAUCE
Start to finish: 1 hour 40 minutes (20
minutes active)
Servings: 4
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh
rosemary leaves, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-
virgin olive oil, divided
1 pound lamb steaks cut from the leg
(preferably about 3/4-inch thick)
1 cup artichoke hearts, patted dry and
chopped (frozen is best)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Set aside 1 teaspoon of the chopped
rosemary. In a wide, shallow bowl com-
bine the remaining rosemary, the garlic,
1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of
the olive oil. Add the lamb and coat it
well on all sides with the herb mixture.
Cover and chill for at least 1 hour, and
up to overnight.
Set an oven rack 4 inches from the
broiler heating element. Heat the oven
to broil.
In a small bowl, toss the artichokes
with the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil
and salt and pepper to taste. Arrange the
artichokes in a single layer on a rimmed
baking sheet. Broil, turning them sever-
al times, until they are golden around
the edges, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove the pan from the broiler and
set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium,
heat the chicken broth until it is sim-
mering. In a small bowl whisk together
the egg yolk, lemon juice, reserved tea-
spoon of rosemary and the cornstarch.
Add a little of the chicken stock to the
mixture in a stream, whisking. Add the
egg mixture back to the chicken stock
and cook for 1 minute, or until the
sauce starts to bubble. Season with salt
and pepper, then stir in the artichokes.
Keep warm over low heat.
Heat a grill or a grill pan over medi-
um-high heat. Wipe off most of the gar-
lic herb mixture from the lamb and
spray the meat with olive oil cooking
spray. Add the lamb to the grill pan.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook,
turning once, about 4 minutes per side
for medium-rare. Transfer the lamb to a
plate, cover loosely with foil and let
rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the lamb against the grain into
slices about 1/4-inch thick. Add the
lamb juices from the plate to the arti-
choke lemon sauce. Divide the sliced
lamb between 4 serving plates and
spoon sauce over each plate.

LAMB
special because he was known to set up
computers or power wash houses for
neighbors.
As word of his passing moved through
San Carlos yesterday, and ags were
lowered, others echoed that same theme
of helping others. He coached AYSO
soccer, served on the San Carlos Sister
Cities Association and chaired the citys
75th Anniversary Committee. He trav-
eled to Pass Christian with the citys
relief effort in the wake of Hurricane
Katrina to help rebuild the Mississippi
town and volunteered for so many caus-
es friends and colleagues yesterday con-
ceded they likely couldnt provide a full
list.
Theres almost not a group you can
name in town that Randy Royce is not
connected with, said Assistant City
Manager Brian Moura.
Every time one enters the San Carlos
historical museum, Klein said, they see a
plaque dedicated to Royce.
Despite being diagnosed with lung
cancer, Royce ran for City Council in
2007 and was the top vote-getter. Four
years later, he was defeated for re-elec-
tion, a move that fellow councilmen like
Ron Collins chalked up to his political
bravery in promoting the outsourcing
of city services like police and re.
He recognized the warning signs our
city was approaching a scal crisis and
was willing to stick his neck out and do
the right thing even at the risk of his own
popularity, said Collins who ran on the
same ballot.
The controversial actions during his
mayoral tenure moved the city from a
$3.5 million structural decit to a budg-
et surplus of more than $500,000 in just
over a year and spurred other cities to
consider outsourcing.
He was the right man for the right job
at the right time and I think that will be
his legacy. He saw a problem and was
willing to x it and never regretted it,
Collins said.
Former mayor Don Eaton recalled
Royces lack of ego.
He was just as happy taking photos at
Hometown Days as anything else,
Eaton said, referencing Royces turn as
the unofcial city photographer.
As mayor, Royce also pushed Pacic
Gas and Electric to conduct hydrostatic
testing of natural gas lines after the
deadly San Bruno explosion and re.
San Carlos then became one of the
states rst cities whose lines were test-
ed this way and upgraded with automat-
ic shut-off valves.
Royce was also remembered for his
attitude, both in the face of cancer and
political battles and throughout his life.
I wish I could get his spirit and put it
in me all the time, said Mayor Bob
Grassilli who estimated having known
Royce for 10 to 12 years. He always
had this impish grin and smile. He had
an indomitable spirit that just would not
die.
Grassilli said Royces legacy is cer-
tainly one of civil and political service
but that hed also want to be remem-
bered as a good father and good hus-
band.
Royce enjoyed woodworking, travel,
walking his dog Mia, skiing and golf.
Royce was also a good friend, those
close to him said.
He founded a mens lunch group with
members meeting once a week at a dif-
ferent restaurant. In January, when they
learned Royces immobility made his
attendance impossible, the group moved
lunch to his house instead, Collins said.
Tuesday afternoon was the weekly
lunch date and they spoke of how it
might not be long now, Collins said.
An hour later, Klein let the members
know Royce had passed. The same day
and hour as his beloved lunch group
a tting time, Collins said.
At many years his junior, Klein said he
grew up with the legend of Randy Royce
rather than seeing him become the man
he was. And once he had the chance to
serve with Royce on the council?
He was everything I expected him to
be and more, Klein said.
A memorial service for Royce is
planned at the Hiller Aviation Museum.
Further details are pending.

Who says the traditional Easter ham has to
be traditional?
We understand that there is good reason
for many traditions, particularly when it
comes to food. After all, many food tradi-
tions earned their place because they are
simply delicious. The glazed ham is a fine
example. And thats why we decided not to
mess with that part of this spring staple.
We did, however, play around with what
our ham is glazed with. We decided to ditch
the orange marmalade, brown sugar, pineap-
ple-cherry, and various clove-spiked glazing
options. Instead, we took our inspiration
from an Asian pantry staple hoisin sauce.
It comes ready-made by the jar, usually in
the Asian food section of the grocer.
From there, we stirred in a few extras to
jazz it up, then used it as a simple glaze. In
keeping with the theme, we served the ham
with a light slaw made from Napa cabbage
and snow peas dressed with a light vinai-
grette. While our ham was on the large size,
if you dont need one quite so big, you can
always use any extra glaze as a sauce along-
side the ham.
HOISIN-GLAZED HAM WITH
NAPA CABBAGE-SNOW PEA SLAW
We know ... 24 servings is a lot. But
Easter ham is like Thanksgiving turkey; you
want ample leftovers. So we went big to
ensure youll have plenty to send home with
guests, and still have more for sandwiches
and soups the next few days.
Start to finish: 5 hours (30 minutes active)
Servings: 24
For the ham:
10- to 12-pound bone-in ham
9.4-ounce jar hoisin sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons five-spice powder
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
For the slaw:
1 head Napa cabbage, thinly sliced
1 bunch scallions, trimmed and sliced
6 ounces snow peas (about 1 heaping cup)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch of salt
Ground black pepper
Heat the oven to 300 F. Fit a large roasting
pan with a roasting rack.
Set the ham on the rack, then slice a hash
pattern over the entire surface, cutting about
1/2 inch deep. Roast the ham for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk togeth-
er the hoisin, five-spice powder, red pepper
flakes, garlic powder and ginger. Once the
ham has roasted for 1 hour, brush half of the
glaze over the surface of the ham, being sure
to get some of the glaze down into the
checked slice marks. Roast for another hour,
then brush the ham with the remaining
glaze.
Continue roasting, monitoring the temper-
ature and color. Cook the ham until it reach-
es 160 F at the center, about another 2 hours.
If the outside of the ham begins to get too
dark, tent it with foil. Remove the ham from
the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before
slicing and serving.
While the ham bakes, prepare the slaw. In
a large bowl, combine the Napa cabbage,
scallions and snow peas. Cover with plastic
wrap, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
When ready, in a small bowl whisk together
the rice vinegar, oil, ginger, sugar and salt
and pepper. Toss the slaw with the dressing
just before serving.

A little retro and a whole lot of
fun, cream cheese mints are the per-
fect way to keep little hands busy
during Easter dinner preparations.
Make up the dough, then let the
kids play around with different a-
vors and colors (or not, if youre
trying to avoid pink and green
hands). They also can form the
mints in a variety of shapes.
Consider making lemon mints,
classic peppermints, or orange
cream mints. You even could do
mocha mints with coffee and
chocolate extracts.
RETRO CREAM CHEESE MINTS
Start to nish: 30 minutes, plus
drying
Makes 7 dozen
8 ounce block cream cheese
2 pounds powdered sugar
Flavorings or extracts of your
choice
Gel food coloring (optional)
Superne sugar
In the bowl of a stand mixer,
combine the cream cheese and
about a quarter of the powdered
sugar. Using the dough hook, begin
mixing. As the mixture comes
together, add the remaining pow-
dered sugar, a quarter at a time,
mixing well between each addition.
The dough also can be mixed by
hand; treat it as though you are
kneading bread dough. The mixture
with be quite stiff.
Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of the a-
voring or extract of your choice.
Alternatively, you can divide the
dough and make multiple batches,
each with a different avor. Once
the avoring is mixed in, add food
coloring, mixing until evenly col-
ored. As with the flavoring, the
mixture can be divided and differ-
ent colors can be used for each
batch.
Pinch off pieces of the dough and
roll into 1-inch balls. Roll the balls
in the superne sugar. Press the
pieces into candy molds or press
with a fork or the bottom of a glass
to make a decorative impression on
the tops. Place on waxed paper and
allow to dry, uncovered, overnight.
If keeping longer than a few days,
place in an airtight container
between sheets of waxed paper and
freeze for up to 1 month.

The review and plan is meant to bolster
existing offerings while looking to the future
opening of a new jail facility which has long
been touted as a place to focus on rehabilita-
tion and services that may curb recidivism and
ease inmates back into society. The boards
acceptance of the plan has no scal impact but
future action like adding staff and developing
curriculum will carry a price tag.
With realignment, some inmates who once
would have been imprisoned are staying local-
ly or serving split sentences with mandatory
supervision. The new population of inmates
typically serving longer terms than those sen-
tenced to local time requires a different
approach to programming, Munks said.
The plan calls for a full spectrum of options
that address three functions reform, activi-
ty and re-entry that begin at intake and con-
tinues until the day they walk out the door.
However, the current overcrowded Maguire
Correctional Facility makes some recommen-
dations like establishing case workers with
individualized plans challenging, said Dr.
Roberta Chambers of Resource Development
Associates, which the Sheriffs Office
employed to develop the plan.
For example, one jail pod used for the
Choices rehabilitation program at Maguire
was shut down for specialized housing of
those with disciplinary problems because of
the hardening of the population under
realignment, Munks said.
Despite the challenges, Munks said he is
anxious and interested in looking at new
things and expanding current services like
electronic monitoring.
Other recommendations include incentiviz-
ing behavior changes, education like literacy
programs and vocational training all sug-
gestions lauded by speakers like Dr. Joan
Rosas, associate superintendent of the County
Ofce of Education.
Education, she said, is very important to
successful transitions and a lack of recidivism.
Scott Peyton, reentry coordinator of jail pro-
gram Achieve 180, said the plan reinforces
what his program is already doing. While
local recidivism hovers around 60 percent to
70 percent, he said Achieve 180 participants
have about 38 percent with most being techni-
cal violations.
Supervisor Adrienne Tissier, who helped
lead the project, is also eager to get going.
I would like to get more people doing
things today rather than waiting, she said.

and damaged an additional 70. The NTSB
issued 39 safety recommendations to PG&E,
gas pipeline operators and federal and state
regulators including the identication of all
gas transmission lines that had yet to undergo
testing for safe operating pressure and
installing automatic shut-off valves on exist-
ing pipelines. Of those, 12 were specically
targeted at San Francisco-based PG&E.
On Tuesday, Nick Stavropoulos, executive
vice president of gas operations, announced
the company had completed seven of the 12.
Our employees continue to work hard
every day to make our national gas system the
safest in the nation. We are making real
progress that can be seen and felt by our cus-
tomers, employees and regulators. We still
have work to do to achieve our ambitious goal,
but the change that is under way is real and
measurable, said Stavropoulos.
Most recently, PG&E updated its contin-
gency plans for work on its transmission sys-
tem, can better track the maximum pressure in
highly-populated areas and developed written
performance measurements and guidelines
into its public awareness plan. Last year, it
implemented emergency procedures, 911 noti-
cation procedures and requirements of time-
ly post-accident toxicological tests,
Stavropoulos said.
San Bruno City Manager Connie Jackson
said the city is happy that work is being com-
pleted. She added the citys focus is to remain
diligent to ensure that all the recommenda-
tions are followed and implemented.
State Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, said
much of the work being done is remedial to
bring the utility company up to the basic stan-
dards it should have already been meeting.
Whats not yet known, he said, is how PG&E
will maintain safety of its system long term.
In September 2011, the NTSB posted its
nal 140-page report for the yearlong investi-
gation of the San Bruno incident. The gas-fed
ames were roaring for more than 90 minutes
before workers were able to manually close
valves to cut off the ruptured line. NTSB
Chairman Deborah Hersman called the event
a litany of failures by PG&E.
PG&E
gay rights in 10 years continues Wednesday,
when the justices will consider the federal law
that prevents legally married gay couples from
receiving a range of benets afforded straight
married people.
The issue before the court on Tuesday was
more fundamental: Does the Constitution
require that people be allowed to marry whom
they choose, regardless of either partners gen-
der? The fact that the question was in front of
the Supreme Court at all was startling, given
that no state recognized same-sex unions before
2003 and 40 states still dont allow them.
There is no questioning the emotions the
issue stirs. Demonstrators on both sides crowd-
ed the grounds outside the court, waving signs,
sometimes chanting their feelings.
Inside, a skeptical Justice Samuel Alito cau-
tioned against a broad ruling in favor of gay
marriage precisely because the issue is so new.
You want us to step in and render a decision
based on an assessment of the effects of this
institution which is newer than cellphones or
the Internet? I mean, we do not have the ability
to see the future, Alito said.
Indeed, it was clear from the start of the 80-
minute argument in a packed courtroom, that
the justices, including some liberals who
seemed open to gay marriage, had doubts about
whether they should even be hearing the chal-
lenge to Californias Proposition 8, the states
voter-approved gay marriage ban.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, the potentially
decisive vote on a closely divided court, sug-
gested the justices could dismiss the case with
no ruling at all.
Such an outcome would almost certainly
allow gay marriages to resume in California but
would have no impact elsewhere.
There was no majority apparent for any par-
ticular outcome, and many doubts were
expressed by justices about the arguments
advanced by lawyers for the opponents of gay
marriage in California, by the supporters and
by the Obama administration, which is in favor
of same-sex marriage rights. The administra-
tions entry into the case followed President
Barack Obamas declaration of support for gay
marriage.
On the one hand, Kennedy acknowledged the
recentness of same-sex unions, a point stressed
repeatedly by Charles Cooper, the lawyer for
the defenders of Proposition 8. Cooper said the
court should uphold the ban as a valid expres-
sion of the peoples will and let the vigorous
political debate over gay marriage continue.
But Kennedy pressed him also to address the
interests of the estimated 40,000 children in
California who have same-sex parents.
They want their parents to have full recog-
nition and full status. The voice of those chil-
dren is important in this case, dont you think?
Kennedy said.
Yet when Theodore Olson, the lawyer for
two same-sex couples, urged the court to sup-
port such marriage rights everywhere, Kennedy
feared such a ruling would push the court into
uncharted waters. Olson said that the court
similarly ventured into the unknown in 1967
when it struck down bans on interracial mar-
riage in 16 states.
Kennedy challenged the accuracy of that
comment, noting that other countries had had
interracial marriages for hundreds of years.
The justice, whose vote usually decides the
closest cases, also made clear he did not like the
rationale of the federal appeals court that struck
down Proposition 8, even though it cited earli-
er opinions in favor of gay rights that Kennedy
had written.

others to act in a reasonable manner when you
behave otherwise. Try to handle things with logic,

work. To be on the safe side, play it straight and get

task. If you lose your patience and get careless,

you dislike. If youre more impatient than usual, a
confrontation could erupt.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Usually your

and dont blow things out of proportion. You could
create problems for some innocent people.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Martha Frances Picone
Case Number: 123128
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Martha Frances Picone,
Mary F. Picone, Mary Picone. A Petition
for Probate has been filed by Sandra
Murray in the Superior Court of Califor-
nia, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that Sandra Murray
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests that the decedents
will and codicils, if any, be admitted to
probate. The will and any codicils are
available for examination in the file kept
by the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: April 8, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. Probate, Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

WORLD 31
By Paul Larson
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.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Funeral Trends Indicate
Upswing in the Economy
Advertisement
By Menelaos Hadjicostis
NICOSIA, Cyprus Cypriot businesses
were under increasing strain to keep running on
Tuesday after nancial authorities stretched the
countrys bank closure into a second week in a
harried attempt to stop depositors rushing to
drain their accounts.
Cypruss central bank governor, Panicos
Demetriades, said superhuman efforts are
being made to open banks on Thursday.
Temporary restrictions will be imposed on
nancial transactions once the banks do, he
said, but would not specify what they would be
or how long they would be in place for.
We have to restore the publics trust in
banks, he said.
Finance Minister Michalis Sarris told the
Associated Press the restrictions would help
stem any mass deposit withdrawal that is
bound to happen and that they would be
removed in a relatively short period of time.
I think every day (banks) are not open cre-
ates more uncertainty and more difculties for
people, so we would like to do our utmost to
make sure that this new goal that we have set
will work, he said.
All but two of the countrys largest lenders
had been due to reopen Tuesday, after being
shut since March 16 to stop savers from with-
drawing all their money from the banks while
politicians gured out how to raise the funds
necessary for Cyprus to qualify for an interna-
tional bailout.
However, the central bank made a surprise
reversal just before midnight, announcing all
banks would remain closed until Thursday
while it and the lenders work on capital controls
to limit the amount of money that can be with-
drawn.
We have to all understand that we live in
very critical times, ofcials of the government
and the central bank are working day and
night, Demetriades said.
Under the deal for a 10 billion euro ($12.9
billion) rescue clinched in Brussels early
Monday, Cyprus agreed to slash its oversized
banking sector and inict hefty losses on large
depositors in troubled banks. Sarris said author-
ities hope to limit job losses to a small num-
ber.
We are looking to a much smaller banking
system over time and more concentrated on its
core business which is Cyprus and the interna-
tional business units in Cyprus, he said.
The bulk of the bailout funds will be raised by
forcing losses on accounts of more than
100,000 euros ($129,000) in the countrys sec-
ond- largest lender, Laiki, with the remainder
coming from tax increases and privatizations.
The bank will be dissolved immediately into
a so-called bad bank containing its uninsured
deposits and toxic assets, with the guaranteed
deposits being transferred to the nations
biggest lender, Bank of Cyprus.
Deposits at Bank of Cyprus above 100,000
euros will be frozen until it becomes clear
whether or to what extent they will also be
forced to take losses. Those funds will eventual-
ly be converted into bank shares.
It is a painful development, no doubt about
that...it doesnt matter how rich you are, how
many millions you have, you dont like your
deposits, which you assume were safe, to be
converted into shares, said Sarris, adding that
authorities are condent that those shares will
eventually gain in value.
Sarris said Cyprus economy will shift from
one centered on nancial services.
Cypriots have a robust entrepreneurial spirit,
they will look for other markets ... Were build-
ing on our relationship with China, a stronger
relationship with the Middle East, our shipping
sector is doing well, our tourism sector is doing
well, I think we will nd opportunities to com-
pensate for this serious setback, he said.
Cyprus businesses hurt as banks stay shut
Knox saga still not
over for Italian courts
ROME Its not over yet for Amanda
Knox.
Italys top criminal
court dealt a stunning set-
back Tuesday to the 25-
year-old college student,
overturning her acquittal
in the grisly murder of her
British roommate and
ordering her to stand trial
again.
She thought that the
nightmare was over, Knoxs attorney, Carlo
Dalla Vedova, told reporters minutes after
conveying the unexpected turn of events to his
client, who had stayed up to hear the ruling,
which came shortly after 2 a.m. West Coast
time. But shes ready to ght.
Now a student at the University of
Washington in Seattle, Knox called the deci-
sion by the Rome-based Court of Cassation
painful but said she was condent that she
would be exonerated.
Kerry in Paris to
talk Syria with French
PARIS U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry is in Paris for talks
with French officials
about aid to the Syrian
opposition and the situa-
tion in Mali.
Kerry arrived in the
French capital Tuesday on
the last leg of a ve-nation
trip that also took him to
Israel, the Palestinian
Authority and Jordan with
President Barack Obama and then on his own
to Iraq and Afghanistan.
He will see the French foreign minister on
Wednesday. France is one of several European
nations that would like to send military aid to
the Syrian rebels.
