‘Blended’curriculum to help failing students

San Mateo Union High School District looks to online, one-on-one instruction
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Seventeen percent of San Mateo Union
High School District students failed a course
last fall, prompting the creation of a district
plan to incorporate a combination of online
and one-on-one instruction to help struggling
teens.
After nine meetings, the Alternative
Instruction Task Force has
developed a plan to inte-
grate online curriculum to
better meet the needs of
these struggling students
— a recommendation that
will be presented to the
San Mateo Union High
School District Thursday.
Central to the recommen-

dation is creating alternative opportunities for
students to get help sooner. While the plan
calls for changes to start this summer, there is
no cost analysis proposed yet.
It can be difficult to be teaching a class and
realizing one student doesn’t understand a
portion of the topic, said Superintendent Scott
Laurence. This plan would provide the ability
for individual students to get the attention
they need and build on the skills, he said.
“We believe we can target students so they
can have greater access to understanding aca-
demics,” Laurence said.
Specifically looking at academic alterna-
tives, the task force focused on recovering
credits for failed classes, interventions for
skill acquisition and independent study
options.

Eatery pulls billboards
with cult references
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — A northern
Indiana restaurant that erected billboards
referring to the 1978 Jonestown cult
massacre in which more than 900 people
sibility to (advertise) with care, and
that’s why we’re pulling this ad. We
made a mistake and don’t want to have a
negative image in the community.”
The billboards included the statement,
“We’re like a cult with better Kool-Aid,”
over a glass containing a mixed drink, as
well as the phrase “To die for!”
In November 1978, more than 900
members of Jim Jones’ People’s Temple
drank cyanide-laced, grape-flavored
punch in a mass murder and suicide in
the group’s compound in Guyana.
Patricia Barbera-Brown of South
Bend, who lives a few blocks away from
one of the billboards, said she was so
shocked when she initially read the mes-
sage that she drove around the block.
“I thought perhaps I had misread the
sign,” she recalls. “It brought back quite
a few horrible images and memories,
and the very notion that a local restau-
rant would trivialize such a worldwide
tragedy to simply increase their sales of
cocktails is outrageous to me, and it
offended me to the core.”
She sent an e-mail to Hacienda’s exec-
utive telling them the billboards weren’t
their customers, and the competition to
determine an idea or theme to use for
advertising.
Wallet missing for 40
years found in crevice
NEW YORK — A New York man
whose wallet disappeared from his jack-
et pocket has gotten it back — 40 years
later.
Rudolph Resta was working for The
New York Times as an art director in
1970 when he left his jacket in a closet
at the old Times building in Manhattan
just off Times Square. When he went to
fetch the jacket, the wallet was gone.
Fast-forward to last fall, when a secu-
rity guard checking a gap by an unused
window came across the wallet —
apparently stashed there by a thief
who’d pulled out the cash.
Resta was tracked down through
pieces of ID linked to the Times.
Resta is now in his 70s. He’s enjoying
the memories the wallet contained —
photos of his sons as children, his glam-
orous wife and his late father.

Business tax,assessment on horizon
Burlingame council wants more study before deciding on how to move forward
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
More study will be required before the
Burlingame City Council will vote on either
changing the city’s business license tax or cre-
ating a downtown assessment district to cover
the cost of certain improvements.
On Tuesday, the City Council discussed the
possibility of placing a business license tax on
the November ballot. In addition, the city is
considering $9 million in streetscape
improvements on Burlingame Avenue, a cost
which could be covered through an assess-
ment district. The council wanted more infor-
mation on both ideas before moving forward.
“I’m interested in a deeper conversation
about business license tax,” said Councilman
Michael Brownrigg, who noted it has been
years since the fee has been increased.
Burlingame has a flat $100 annual business
fee which has not been increased since 1978,
according to the city’s website. Noting the flat
fee may not be fair when comparing small and
large businesses, staff brought the conversa-
tion forward.
Councilwoman Cathy Baylock wanted a
cursory analysis of local businesses with the
number of employees and revenue as possible
benchmarks for a tax rate before committing
to a November ballot.
Mayor Terry Nagel agreed, adding she
would be interested in taxing larger compa-
nies.
“What if there was a tax [increase] for only
businesses with 100 or more employees. It
seems like a no brainer to me,” said Nagel,
noting surrounding cities require such busi-
nesses to pay much more.
Such a tax would need voter approval in a
general election. Funds from it would go into
the general fund but is also one of two ways
the city could cover costs of updating down-
town Burlingame.

The Burlingame City Council is discussing the possibility of placing a business license tax on
the November ballot.In addition,the city is considering $9 million in streetscape improvements
on Burlingame Avenue,a cost which could be covered through an assessment district.
Burlingame Avenue has aging water and
sewer infrastructure. Tearing up downtown
without replacing the streetscape seems like a
mistake, said City Manager Jim Nantell. An
assessment district of properties on
Burlingame Avenue could be formed to cover
the estimated $8 million shortfall for funding
the $9 million project, Nantell wrote in a staff
report. The assessment district, unlike the
business tax, would require a simple majority
protest vote only of the affected 50 property
owners.
Vice Mayor Jerry Deal was interested in the
assessment, noting he had spoken with vari-
ous business owners about the idea already.

Doctors appointed in mall killing
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Two doctors appointed by a judge
yesterday will decide if a Pittsburgh
man accused of gunning down a well-
known community activist at the
Hillsdale Shopping Center last summer
is fit for trial or should be treated at a
state hospital.
Questions of Gregory Leon Elarms
Sr.’s mental state have swirled since his
arrest in the death of David Lewis but
defense attorney Jeff Boyarsky only last
week questioned his client’s ability to
aid in his own defense. On Wednesday,
two doctors were named to determine if
Elarms, 58, is competent. Those reports
are due back April 13.
Competency is a defendant’s ability to
aid in his or her own defense while san-
ity is a person’s mental state at the time
of a specific incident.
If tried and convicted, Elarms faces
life in prison without parole or the death
penalty because prosecutors allege he
laid in wait to kill
Lewis who he’d
known as a teen in
East Palo Alto.
Elarms allegedly fol-
lowed Lewis, a for-
mer felon and well-
known drug coun-
selor, from the San
Gregory Elarms Mateo Medical
Center, where Lewis
performed HIV and AIDS outreach, to
the San Mateo shopping center parking
structure where he pulled a weapon and
fired just before 6 p.m. June 9.
Lewis, 54, survived the attack long
enough to utter the name “Greg” but
was pronounced dead at the hospital
later that evening. Although armed with
that information, police made no arrests
until after Elarms called them himself
Dec. 18.
Prosecutors will not say exactly what
Elarms told police but prosecutor Al
Giannini implied it led to some of the
psychiatric questions.
LOCAL
“Given Mr. Elarms’ statement to
police, I certainly don’t fault his council
to make sure he is in a fit condition to be
tried for trial,” Giannini said.
Boyarsky said he can’t comment on
Elarms’ case or mental state at this point
and “its too early to tell” if sanity may
play a role if he is found competent.
Lewis co-founded Free at Last, a 15-
year-old East Palo Alto-based nonprofit
agency that provides services for recov-
ering drug addicts, after struggles with
addiction himself. Lewis went to San
Quentin State Prison at age 19 and,
after 15 years, returned to East Palo
Alto.
Elarms has an extensive criminal his-
tory dating back to 1969, but the major-
ity are crimes like attempted robbery
and drugs in the mid-1980s.
Elarms remains in custody without
bail.

GOP lawmakers oppose tax vote
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Republican lawmakers
formed a caucus Wednesday to oppose any
deal to close California’s $26.6 billion budget
deficit that involves tax increases but doesn’t
include corresponding tax cuts.
The GOP lawmakers said they will not sup-
port Gov. Jerry Brown’s plan to place a five-
year extension of higher sales, income and
vehicle taxes on a special election ballot
unless the Legislature also gives voters the
chance to enact a tax cut of equal or larger
value.
Sen. Tony Strickland, co-chairman of the
Taxpayers Caucus, said its members generally
support tax incentives to encourage the growth
of businesses and jobs in California.
“We do believe in the voters, that if you offer
a tax cut at the same time as a tax increase, that
the people of California would vote for the tax
cut because they know that would put people
back to work,” Strickland, R-Thousand Oaks,
said at a news conference outside the Capitol.
Caucus members also intend to reject any
budget proposal that includes accounting gim-
micks to close the deficit and to defend

Contractor pleads
not guilty to fraud
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A contractor accused of improperly doing
business with San Bruno homeowners impact-
ed by the gas line explosion and fire pleaded
not guilty yesterday to violating state con-
tracting law.
William Brent Warfield, 49, is charged with
a misdemeanor count of working without
employee insurance. On Wednesday, he plead-
ed not guilty and set a July 18 jury trial date.
Warfield, of Millbrae, was discovered in the
area Sept. 16 — a week after the deadly Sept.
9 disaster that leveled a neighborhood and left
several dead — with his work van and an
employee but not the proper workers’ com-
pensation insurance, according to prosecutors.
Warfield also said he provided the labor for
free and was not actively driving around look-
ing for work.
His license is currently active and exempt
from having workers’ compensation insurance
because he has no employees, according to the
Contractors State License Board.

returns to court May 25 for a pre-trial confer-
ence. Contracting licenses can be checked at

Wisconsin governor caught in prank
By Ryan J. Foley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON, Wis. — On a prank call
that quickly spread across the Internet,
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was
duped into discussing his strategy to
cripple public employee unions, prom-
ising never to give in and joking that he
would use a baseball bat in his office to
go after political opponents.
Walker believed the caller was a con-
servative billionaire named David
Koch, but it was actually the editor of a
liberal online newspaper. The two
talked for at least 20 minutes — a con-
versation in which the governor
described several potential ways to
pressure Democrats to return to the
Statehouse and revealed that his sup-
porters had considered secretly planting
people in pro-union protest crowds to
stir up trouble.

also showed Walker’s cozy relationship
Court asked to clear way for gay unions
By Lisa Leff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Lawyers for two
same-sex couples again asked a federal
appeals court on Wednesday to allow gay
marriage to resume in California while the
court considers the constitutionality of the
state’s ban on same-sex unions.
The couples’ attorneys filed a motion
asking the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals to lift the stay it imposed in
September on a trial court ruling that
struck down the voter-approved ban
known as Proposition 8.
The request was prompted by an “intol-
erable” delay created last week when the
California Supreme Court said it needed
the rest of the year to consider a pivotal

taken by President
Ronald Reagan when he fired the
nation’s air-traffic controllers during a
labor dispute in 1981.
“That was the first crack in the Berlin
Wall and led to the fall of the Soviets,”
Walker said on the recording.
The audio was posted by the Buffalo
Beast, a left-leaning website based in
Buffalo, N.Y., and quickly went viral.

he carried out the prank to show how

legal question in the case — whether
Proposition 8 sponsors have authority to
challenge the lower court’s decision,
lawyer Theodore Olson said.
“The right to marry is not an abstract
principle any more than might be said
about the right to vote, the right to speak
and the right to practice one’s religion,”
Olson said. “Every day our fellow citizens
are denied their most basic civil rights that
their friends and neighbors freely enjoy ...
that discrimination inflicts countless
injuries.”
The plaintiffs, a lesbian couple from
Berkeley and a gay couple from Pasadena,
also have asked the California Supreme
Court to hasten its examination of the legal
standing issue.
Murphy said he arranged the call
Tuesday after speaking with two
Walker aides, including the governor’s
chief of staff. He placed the call using
Skype and recorded it.
Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie
confirmed that it was Walker’s voice on
the call. At a news conference, Walker
acknowledged being deceived but stuck
to his message that the union changes
were needed to balance Wisconsin’s
budget.
“I’m not going to let one prank phone
call be a distraction from the job we
have to do,” Walker said. “The things I
said are the things I’ve said publicly all
the time.”
On the call, the governor said he was
ratcheting up the pressure on Senate
Democrats to return to the Capitol a
week after they fled to block the legis-
lation. He said he supported a move to
require them to come to the Capitol to
pick up their paychecks rather than
have the money deposited directly.

Bench warrant for missing carjacking suspect
One of three men accused in the carjacking and robbery of a
taxi driver on the order of a fellow cabbie is wanted on a $250,00
bench warrant after failing to appear in court
for a pretrial conference.
Rajinder Kumar, 25, forfeited his
$250,000 bail and Judge Lisa Novak issued
a warrant in a new amount after he skipped
the hearing. Novak also vacated the March
14 jury trial for him although the date stands
for co-defendants Balraj Sing, 38, and Raj
Singh, 30.
All three have previously pleaded not

pose of robbery, robbery and carjacking which can carry life sen-

Authorities say Raj Singh orchestrated the plan in which the
other two called the cab driver to arrange a late pickup at the
British Bankers Club in Menlo Park. The driver later reported
that they directed him to Daly City but first stopped at a
Redwood City apartment complex where they went inside
momentarily. Back in the cab, the driver said he was told to use
surface streets in Millbrae to reach San Bruno. At one point, one
of the passengers reportedly drew a handgun and ordered the
driver to the back seat where he was held with the weapon to his
head while the other passenger drove the cab. After the back seat
passenger took the cab driver’s cell phone and wallet, they
warned him not to move for 15 minutes and left, the driver
reported. The driver later reported hearing the man walk to
another car and drive off. Raj Singh is the man who picked them
up and set up the crime, according to prosecutors.
Redwood City man killed in big-rig crash
A 68-year-old Redwood City man was killed Wednesday
afternoon in a crash involving a big-rig on State Route 92 in San

The victim, who was alone in the Blazer, was driving east
when his car drifted into westbound traffic and struck the big-rig,
Montiel said.
The man died before he could be airlifted to a hospital.
Traffic in both directions was blocked for more than an hour.
A Sig-alert was issued at 2:27 p.m. and canceled at 3:42 p.m.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. —
After 143 million miles and nearly a

Discovery is poised to blast off

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand
— Rescuers broadened their search
of collapsed buildings in New
Zealand’s quake-shattered city of
Christchurch on Thursday, as hopes
faded of finding any more survivors
in the hardest-hit office blocks down-
town.
Police said Thursday that up to 120
bodies may still lie trapped in one of
those buildings alone, though it was
impossible to know the exact num-
bers caught in the tangled wreckage
of concrete and steel that was the
Canterbury Television building.
The official death toll from
Tuesday’s 6.3-magnitude temblor
stood at 76, based on the number of
bodies that have been recovered from
throughout the city and brought to a
special morgue, and the missing were
listed at 238.
“We know there are more bodies
yet to be recovered and we are in the
process of doing that,” police
Superintendent Dave Cliff told a
news conference Thursday.
Still, he cautioned that the list of
missing almost certainly included
people who had left town without
notifying family or were otherwise

has declared the quake a national dis-

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip —
Israeli tank fire wounded 11 people,
including at least six militants, in
the Gaza Strip on Wednesday fol-
lowing an attack on an Israeli
patrol, the military and Palestinian
officials said. One of the wounded
later died in a hospital.
The Israeli military said its tanks
opened fire after the militants deto-
nated a bomb targeting the Israeli
patrol near the border and then fired
mortars at the soldiers.
Gaza health officials said one of
the wounded militants died and
another was in serious condition.
Both Islamic Jihad and Hamas mil-
itants said they fired mortars at the
troops. No Israeli soldiers were
hurt.
Israel and Hamas have largely
observed an unofficial cease-fire
since an Israeli military offensive in
Gaza two years ago. But clashes
sporadically flare up along the
volatile border as Gaza militants
fire rockets and mortars into Israel,
drawing military reprisals.
Wednesday’s incident marked the
first time in weeks the clashes have
produced casualties.
After nightfall, two rockets
exploded in Israel’s south. No one
was hurt. One exploded in the
Israeli city of Beersheba, 20 miles
(30 kilometers) from Gaza, police
said, setting a house on fire.
Another rocket landed near the
town of Netivot.
Environmental Protection Agency
on Wednesday said it will make it
much cheaper for companies to

to control pollution at more than
200,000 industrial boilers, heaters
and incinerators nationwide at a 50
percent cost savings to the compa-
nies and institutions that run them.
Those operating large boilers that
burn renewable fuels would not be
required to install some expensive
technologies, and only maintenance
would be required for smaller boil-
ers. That would cost $1.8 billion less
each year than the original proposal,
and still avert thousands of heart
attacks and asthma cases a year, the
agency said.

like to suggest that these billions of our tax
dollars be spent to improve the lives of our
citizens instead of going to the apartheid
nation of Israel.
Israel has good systems of public educa-

activities for their Jewish citizens. This gives
the Jewish citizens there a better life than we
have for people of all religions (or none) here
in the United States. I would prefer that our
tax funds be used to take care of our needs
here at home. I especially fault the use of our
funds for the brutal occupation of Palestine
and the use of phosphorous bombs on the
people in Gaza.
Any American citizen who wants to send
funds to Israel may do so. Their generous
donations could pay for a lot of bombs, tanks
and other weapons of war that are now paid
for by the United States. These donations
could allow the tax funds of the citizens of
the United States to be spent here to maintain
domestic programs that are threatened by our
“austerity program.” Since we need to save
money, I would like the savings to be made in
military funds for Israel.

should impose their own sanctions while
pressing the United Nations to act. Britain
made a good first step when it revoked eight
weapons-related export licenses for Libya.
The Arab League suspended Libya’s partici-
pation in its meetings.
We were reassured to see some Libyan
diplomats rejecting their government’s bru-
tality. Two military pilots refused to fire on
their fellow citizens and flew their planes to
Malta. All should be granted safe haven.
The United Nations high commissioner for
human rights says Gadhafi’s use of lethal

ty. We agree. There needs to be a thorough
investigation.
While I have read of women being abused
in Egypt, of several hundred people being
killed, tear gassed and seen pictures of rock-
throwing Egyptian youths on television, I will
give Obama the benefit of the doubt and con-
clude that he was trying to bring calm to the
situation.
On April 15, 2009, the Tea Party demon-
strators, here in Atascadero, a city of only
27,000 people, met in the central plaza with
signs and flags. After some speeches by
organizers and some public officials, they
marched around the town in a column four or
five people abreast and 10 or 12 blocks long
— cheers, but no violence.
I regret that I heard no such commentary
from anyone in the Obama administration
during the hundreds of thousands of Tea Party
demonstrators in this country. I only heard
accusations of hate, racism, bigotry and that
the Tea Party had no clear message that could
be heard in Washington.
Do you think it is easier for the Obama
administration to hear messages from half
way around the world in a foreign language
than from here at home?

More housing needed
Editor,
I am one of the lucky ones. My commute to
and from work is congested, but at least it is
local.
Think of those who have been priced out of
our community — our teachers, our firefight-
ers, our police officers — who spend hours
on the road each day to get to their jobs.
They’ve been priced out of the communities
they serve and without new, affordable hous-
ing in our area will be facing those commutes
their whole careers.
For the sake of those who serve us, we
need new housing opportunities now.

Child’s play
“W
ould you like to go watch
children in the park?” The
query, even when posed by
someone I know well, came as a surprise.
“What exactly do you mean? Like at the
zoo? Will I need to bring peanuts, or better
yet, bread crumbs for feeding? Is it like bird
watching? Do I get a handbook?” I asked
back.
Hyper, high-on-
sugar-and-life chil-
dren running
crazed in the park
and scurrying
about monkey bars
do invoke images
of wild animal
safari parks, at the
very least.
“No, no, it is for
my growth and
development
class,” came the
more logical explanation. “Our assignment is
to observe children at different ages and
report what we see.”
Ah, so much for Wild Kingdom.
“But we can’t go to the park,” I said. “Not
unless we borrow a toddler or two to bring
with us.”
Somebody who goes to a park play area
without a small person tagging along is sus-
pect at best, creepy at worse. We might as
well buy a white, windowless van to transport
us to the park and once there hand out candy
and ask for help finding lost puppies.
Think about it. You can’t even pick up a
child from school unless your name is on a
pre-submitted list of authorized adults. Babies
in maternity wards wear bar code wristbands.
Milk cartons are still daily reminders of
worst-case scenarios. Amber alerts are a flash-
ing highway staple. Parents consider GPS
devices — implants even — to keep track of
their offspring. When it comes to child safety,
McGruff the Crime Dog and secret safety
words no longer cut it.
In other words, observing kids at the park
would be no, ahem, walk in the park.
It could be worse — think of male growth
and development students. Pray to the gods
these gentlemen have siblings and cousins at
their disposal. If women can’t feel secure
watching strange children run and jump and
play, think how much more creepy a single
male might look.
The gender double-standard is nothing new.
At least a few boys in my prehistoric high
school days wanted to be teacher, I remember.
One specifically wanted to tackle kinder-
garten. But he said he never would — there
would be too much risk. What if a child need-
ed help in the bathroom? What if a youngster
wanted a hug or unexpectedly offered a peck
on the cheek?
He didn’t want to chance any sense, let
along any allegations, of impropriety. Who
could blame him? Age is not a protection,
either. Even the most grandfatherly of teach-
ers and men are not free from reproach. And
if they are not spared from suspicion, why
should younger women?
One can never be too careful.
Just try being a journalist wanting to inter-
view kids. Better yet, try being a photogra-
pher snapping hot day shots of pig-tailed
cuties enjoying ice cream cones. That’s a sure
way to get a solid slap across the face or loud
verbal scolding.
Which brings me back to the park.
Or rather, not the park.
But fear of mislabeling is not a good excuse
for not completing one’s homework. In fact, it
falls somewhere below the dog eating the
assignment.
Thankfully for my companion’s quandary,
she had a modern-day alternative — watching
kiddos on the Internet.
Yep. That’s not creepy at all.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks had their
worst two-day pullback in six months
after clashes in Libya sent oil prices to
two-year highs and Hewlett-Packard
said its revenue growth was slowing.
Forces loyal to Libyan leader
Moammar Gadhafi continued to fight
with anti-government demonstrators,
leading to widespread chaos and shoot-
ing in the streets of the Libyan capital,
Tripoli. Nearly 300 people have been
killed, according to the New York-based
Human Rights Watch.
The unrest sent oil up 2.8 percent to
$98 a barrel Wednesday, its highest price
since October 2008. Libya is the world’s
15th largest exporter of crude, account-
ing for 2 percent of global daily output.
Traders are worried the revolt could
threaten Libya’s oil production and
spread to other countries in the region.
“We’re at a point where the market is
concerned over this series of dominoes
in the Middle East and wonders if there’s
another country that’s next to fall,” said
David Katz, a portfolio strategist for
Weiser Capital Management.
Oil companies benefited from the
higher crude prices. Chevron Corp. was
the biggest gainer in the Dow average,
rising 1.9 percent. Exxon Mobil Corp
also gained 1.9 percent. Energy compa-

Oil prices hit $100 per barrel
By Chris Kahn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Oil hit $100 per barrel
Wednesday for the first time in 2 1/2
years as the unrest in Libya worsened,
and gasoline prices in the U.S. climbed
to nearly $3.20 a gallon, the highest level
ever for February.
West Texas Intermediate crude for
April delivery jumped $2.68, or 2.8 per-
cent, to settle at $98.10 per barrel on the
New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier
in the day, prices hit triple digits for the
first time since Oct. 2, 2008. West Texas
Intermediate has soared 18 percent since
Valentine’s Day.
The national average for a gallon of
regular gasoline rose 2.3 cents
Wednesday to $3.194, according to
AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price
Information Service. Gas has jumped 8.2
cents per gallon in the past month and
$1.28 in the past year.
Wall Street
nies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index
rose 2 percent, the only gain among its
10 company groups.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost
107.01 points, or 0.9 percent, to
12,105.78. The Dow has fallen 285.47
points, or 2.3 percent, over the last two
days. It was the largest drop since
August 12.
The S&P 500 fell 8.04, or 0.6 percent,
to 1,307.40. The Nasdaq composite fell
33.43, or 1.2 percent, to 2,722.99.
Each major index has gained more
than 10 percent over the last three
months, leading some analysts to say
that the situation in Libya is giving
traders an opportunity to sell and lock in
profits after the market’s recent run-up.
The market’s two-day stumble is only
its second significant decline this year.
The other came on Jan. 28, when
protests in Egypt escalated.
“The market has strong fundamentals
and those will once again dominate very
shortly,” said Doug Cote, senior market
strategist with ING Investment
Management.
Technology stocks fell after Hewlett-
Packard Co., a bellwether for the group,
gave a disappointing revenue forecast
for the current fiscal year. The stock fell
9.6 percent, the most out of the 30 that
make up the Dow average.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — March Madness
could take on a whole new meaning if
Apple gives the world another iPad next
week.
Apple Inc. is expected to unveil the
second generation of its wildly success-
ful media tablet, widening its head start
against competitors just starting to sell
their first tablet computers.
The Cupertino, Calif.-based company
e-mailed invitations to a media event in
San Francisco Wednesday that show a
calendar page with the corner peeling
away to reveal an iPad underneath. The
large “2” on the calendar page denotes
the event’s March 2 date, but is also a
hint that Apple is about to announce the
follow-up to the original iPad.
The iPad, about the size of a large
book, has been likened to an overgrown
iPhone or iPod Touch, as it is powered
Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil
analyst at Oil Price Information Service,
said he expects gasoline prices will con-
tinue to rise in the next few months to
between $3.25 and $3.75 per gallon as
the spring driving season approaches.
The uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt
earlier this month already had markets on
edge before protests escalated in Libya,
which has the biggest oil reserves in
Africa. The rebellion widened
Wednesday as protesters overwhelmed
government buildings and advanced
around Tripoli, the capital.
French oil giant Total said it started to
wind down its oil operations in Libya,
where it produced an average of 55,000
barrels per day last year. That follows
similar moves by other oil companies.
Libya’s biggest oil producer, Eni, idled
operations that produce 244,000 barrels
of oil and gas per day. Spain’s Repsol-
YPF and Austrian oil company OMV
also suspended operations.

by similar software and can run the same
applications, or “apps.”
But it has a bigger screen that makes
reading e-mails, surfing the Web and
watching movies easier on the eyes.
With a starting price of $499, it’s less
expensive than many computers and, at
1.5 pounds, it also weighs less. Unlike
small, inexpensive laptops such as net-
books, the iPad turns on instantly, so
people don’t have to wait through a slug-
gish boot-up. And the iPad also lasts
about 10 hours unplugged, making it
ideal for travelers and other people on
the go.
Apple sold more than 15 million iPads
in its first nine months on sale, including
7.3 million to holiday shoppers during
the October-December quarter — about
a million more for the quarter than ana-
lysts were expecting.
Since the iPad’s launch, other consumer
electronics makers have been scrambling
to develop tablets of their own.
Business brief
Apple shareholders nix
CEO succession disclosure
CUPERTINO — Apple shareholders
rejected a proposal Wednesday that called
for the company to disclose a succession
plan for its chief executive.
The rejection came a month after Apple
CEO Steve Jobs went on an indefinite
medical leave for unspecified problems —
an absence that could be related to his pre-
vious bout with pancreatic cancer or his
2009 liver transplant. Jobs did not attend
the meeting, which was led by Chief
Operating Officer Tim Cook and general
counsel Bruce Sewell.
Apple Inc. announced the preliminary
vote on the non-binding proposal at its
annual shareholders meeting at the compa-
ny’s Cupertino headquarters. The compa-
ny did not provide the voting breakdown.
The Central Laborers’ Pension Fund,
which owns 11,484 shares of Apple stock,
called for a succession plan to ensure “a
smooth transition” in case Jobs leaves as
CEO.

Wildcats open CCS with shutout win over Leland

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Prior to his team’s Central Coast
Section Division I first-round game,
Woodside girls’ soccer coach Jose
Navarrete lamented about his lack of
scoring punch from anyone other than
super senior striker Taylor Duffner.
Woodside, seeded No. 7 in the brack-
et, saw its fortunes rise and fall this sea-
son based on Duffner’s production. If
she scored, the Wildcats had an excel-
lent chance of winning. No Duffner
tally usually meant a scoreless tie — or
worse.
Duffner was at the top of her game as
the Wildcats hosted No. 10 Leland
Wednesday night. Unfortunately for
Woodside, Duffner did not find the
back of the net. Fortunately for the
Wildcats, two freshmen stepped up as
they beat the Chargers 2-0.
“We’re not a real high scoring team,”
Navarrete said. “Teams that match up
Taylor well do well against us.”
Woodside (12-6-2 overall) will take
on No. 2 Gilroy Saturday at a time and
place to be determined.
Leland knew Duffner was the focal
point for the Wildcats so the Chargers
man marked her for most of the game.
Sometimes she was bracketed by two
defenders, and at other times, three and
sometimes four defenders would col-
lapse on her.
But that didn’t prevent her from
being the most dangerous player on the
field. Her speed and touch made it dif-

The man
can coach
When former Westmoor girls’ basketball
coach Corey Cafferata took over the
Mission College women’s program in Santa
Clara before the 2009-10 season, the Saints
were one of the worst teams — if not the
worst team — in the state.
In the previous four seasons before
Cafferata’s arrival, the Saints won two
games and lost 102 — including 88 in a
row.
There would be no slow growth curve
under Cafferata, however.
“The goal for my first year is to be .500.
After that, I feel we’ll
be competing for
Coast Conference
championships and
hopefully getting far
in the state playoffs,”
Cafferata told the
Daily Journal follow-
ing his hiring in 2009.
Two years later,
Cafferata isn’t far off
his prediction. After
going 7-20 last season
— during which the
Saints went 2-5 in
overtime games — the Saints completed
their rise from the ashes this year. This sea-
son, Mission finished with an overall record
of 16-11 and a third-place finish in the
Coast Conference-South standings at 8-4.
Most incredibly, just three seasons after

Serra bottles up Woodside

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The formula for success this season for the
Serra boys soccer team is simple: Score first
and you’ll probably win the game — the
Padres have yet to drop a ballgame this season
when they tally the first goal.
So 15 minutes into yesterday’s CCS
Division I boys soccer playoff matchup
between No. 8 Serra and No. 9 Woodside,
Padres’ coach Jeff Panos felt he needed to
make a move.
Enter Serra’s Dylan Shafe, a senior defend-
er with a knack for finding the open space.
“He’s got a tall frame and does a really nice
job going after those balls (in space),” Panos
said. “He’s the kind of guy, he doesn’t give us
that spark unless he comes off the bench, so
we give him about 10 minutes to let the game
settle and man, he really knows how to find
that open space.”
Shafe’s ability to spark the offense would be
the difference in Serra’s 2-0 victory over the
visiting Wildcats. He set up the first goal in the
17th minute and scored another in the 32nd.
Shafe and the Padres will advance to face their
WCAL rivals, No. 1 seeded Bellarmine, on
Saturday at a site and time to be determined.
“Just go after loose balls and see what you
can do,” said Shafe about his instructions prior
to substituting into the contest.

head of steam.
One Cafferata knows could evaporate in a
instant.
“When we’re on, we’re great,” Cafferata
said. “When we’re not, we get killed.”
Wednesday night, however, the Saints
were on their game as they won the first
playoff game in school history, a 96-84
decision over Los Medanos.
While the Saints play in the Coast
Conference-South, there is a definite
Northern flavor to the Saints. The team
relies on a quintet of Peninsula Athletic
League alums — four of whom played for

CSM falls to Sacramento in playoffs

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Those who seem to think that
experience matters little in a playoff
environment need only look at last
night’s affair between the College of
San Mateo women’s basketball
team and Sacramento City College.
Having battled all night and flung
into an overtime period, the
Bulldogs (11-15) found themselves
tied at 53 with 3:21 left in the game.
It was in that 3:21 though where
San Mateo showed their youth,
turning the ball over four times and
failing to capitalize on some spotty
free-throw shooting by the Panthers
(13-14). As it stood, the visitors
from the Big 8 conference pushed
ahead and won 58-53, thus ending
the season for the Bulldogs.
It was a disappointing end to the
year considering that the Bulldogs
battled so hard to even get into these
playoffs, winning 4 of 6 down the
stretch and giving division-leading
Foothill all they could handle in the
regular-season finale.
“They (Sacramento City) did a
good job, you have to give it to
them,” said CSM coach Michelle
Warner. “They played really physi-
cal, pressure defense, I’m sure they
out-rebounded us. But, we had
some looks, we just didn’t hit them.
We missed at least five to 10 layups
on the inside and it’s the first time in
the playoffs for a lot of them, so it’s
nerves and the excitement at home.
But not to take anything away from
Sac City, they did a good job.”
The Panthers battled the entire
night, overcoming deficits of seven
points twice by forcing the issue
with their pressure defense. The
Bulldogs committed 25 turnovers in

Marleau gets game winner for Sharks in OT
By John Wawrow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — Foiled by Pittsburgh
goalie Marc-Andre Fleury once already in
overtime, San Jose’s Patrick Marleau went
back to the front of the net to see if he could
get another opportunity.
He did, and took advantage, converting
Logan Couture’s rebound from close at 4:56
of overtime to seal a 3-2 victory over the
Penguins on Wednesday.
It was Marleau’s second goal of the game,
and came exactly a minute after he broke in on
a clear-cut breakaway only to have his back-
hand gloved by Fleury.
“That wasn’t my best move, that’s for sure,
Burriss making comeback
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — At long last,
Emmanuel Burriss is back where he is sup-
posed to be for the San Francisco Giants.
It has been a long 20 months since the last
half of Burriss’ 2009 season at Triple-A Fresno
was shelved because of a fracture of the fifth
metatarsal bone in his left foot. Another fracture
of the same bone in spring training a year ago
limited him.
He played in five games for Class A San Jose
in 2010, 67 games for Fresno and five for the
Giants, but still wasn’t quite the same as before.
Now 25 pounds lighter and moving around
much better, he is in the mix for a reserve role
with Mark DeRosa and Mike Fontenot.
“It’s a difference between night and day over
last year,” he said. “It took a long time for me to
get back here, where I’m feeling more comfort-
able.”
He said when he was injured the first time, “it
was a big disappointment. The second time was
heartbreaking.”
Burriss was having a good spring when he
injured the foot again. He couldn’t work out the
way he wanted, use his legs the way he wanted,
and that contributed to his weight gain.
“It was tough mentally,” he said. “There were
times when I wondered if it was still worth it.
My parents played a big part in keeping me
going, and my 6-year-old son. He’s just now
really getting to learn and enjoy the game, and

but it was a good save,”
Marleau said.
Marleau’s resilience
resembled that of his
team’s, which didn’t let
down after allowing
Pittsburgh’s Tyler
Kennedy to force overtime
by scoring with 50 sec-
Patrick Marleau onds left in regulation.
“It’s just a sign of our
perseverance,” Marleau said. “You don’t want
to see that happen, but when it does happen,
you want to see guys forget about it right
away.”
the energy he has, it just
brings you up.”
Burriss also played win-
ter ball in the Dominican
Republic for the Gigantes
del Cibao. He played short-
stop almost exclusively, but
is working at both middle
infield spots here in camp.
Emmanuel He took grounders at sec-
Burriss ond base on Wednesday.
In 2009, Burriss was the
opening day second baseman for the Giants and
he could have the chance to be there again if
Freddy Sanchez isn’t ready to go after offseason
surgery on his left shoulder.
Burriss has 107 career games at second, 47 at
shortstop, and has a career batting average of
.264.
“We want to give Manny more action at sec-
ond base,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
Burriss wants to make sure he is ready to go
at second or short. He sits two seats away from
veteran shortstop Miguel Tejada, one of the
newest Giants.
“We’ve talked about how to play a couple of
times. He is here to work and it can only help
me to watch how he does things,” Burriss said.
Returning to good health means Burriss also
can use his speed on the basepaths, and can be
valuable as a pinch-runner in the late innings if
he doesn’t start. “I’m a speed guy, so it feels
good to be able to run again,” Burriss said.
The decisive goal came during a scramble
in front, and after Fleury stopped Couture
from in close. The puck dribbled to the left of
the net, where Marleau flipped it in for the
surging Sharks who improved to 14-2-1 in
their past 17 games.
It was Marleau’s sixth game-winner of the
season, and second in overtime in a span of
five games, after he settled a 2-1 win at
Nashville.
The Sharks extended their winning streak to
five games while also vaulting a point ahead
of Phoenix into first place of the tightly
packed Pacific Division.
Couture, with his franchise rookie record-
tying 25th goal of the season, also scored
while Antti Niemi stopped 24 shots.
Warriors,Nets make trade
for Murphy and draft pick
By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — First came a trade for Deron
Williams. Then came a little bench boost and
some salary cap space for comfort.
Hours after completing a blockbuster deal that
landed All-Star point guard Deron Williams, the
New Jersey Nets bolstered their bench with two
backup big men while sending Troy Murphy and
a 2012 second-round draft pick to the Golden
State Warriors on Wednesday night.
The Nets acquired the expiring contracts of
Brandan Wright and Dan Gadzuric, whose deals
are worth about $11 million combined this year,
close to the same for Murphy. The Warriors are
expected to buy out Murphy’s contract if they
can’t move him in another deal before
Thursday’s NBA trade deadline.
“We are very pleased to add Dan and Brandan
to our roster,” Nets general manager Billy King
said. “Dan is an NBA veteran who will add
depth to our frontcourt rotation, while Brandan
is a young player who we feel has significant
room to grow and develop in our system.”
This will hardly be a Bay Area reunion for
Murphy.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Kennedy scored twice for the Penguins,
who are winless in their past three (0-1-2) and
dropped to 2-5-2 in their past nine since
Evgeni Malkin sustained a season-ending
knee injury to join captain Sidney Crosby on
the injury list. Crosby is out indefinitely after
missing his 21st straight game with a concus-
sion.
Penguins coach Dan Bylsma wasn’t pleased
with the outcome, even though the Penguins
earned a point to move four points ahead of
the fifth-place Washington Capitals in the
Eastern Conference.
“It doesn’t feel much of a consolation prize
to add a point there,” Bylsma said. “We think
we need to play better than that to get the
result we want going forward.”
He was taken by the Warriors with the 14th
overall pick in the 2001 draft. Then he was dealt
to Indiana in 2007 and traded to New Jersey
before this season, never panning out. Golden
State has no plans to keep him and was working
to buy out the final year on Murphy’s contract.
The 6-foot-11, 245-pound center will likely
draw strong interest from playoff teams who are
looking for another big man, such as Orlando,
Miami and Dallas. Murphy has averaged 11.8
points and 8.5 rebounds in his career, but has
played only 18 games because of injuries this
season.
The Warriors had been fielding calls all season
hoping to land a big name. They’ll have to settle
on trying to stockpile draft picks, a formula new
owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber have said is
a priority for a franchise that is used to trading
them away.
“Our draft-pick situation could use some help.
There’s no doubt about that,” Warriors general
manager Larry Riley said. “So that’s one of the
things we actually are trying to address. We’re
trying to acquire draft picks. We’re not going to
be foolish about it. But whenever we have an
opportunity to acquire a draft pick within reason,
we’ll do that.”

Nets land Deron Williams in wild day of trades

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Nets finally landed a big-name All-Star
on a wild day before the trading deadline that
left several NBA teams with hard-to-recog-
nize rosters.
The Jazz sent point guard Deron Williams
to New Jersey, which stole some attention
from the neighboring Knicks on Wednesday
with Carmelo Anthony making his New York
debut that night. Utah received rookie Derrick
Favors and point guard Devin Harris.
The Nets also picked up Brandan Wright
and Dan Gadzuric from the Golden State
Warriors for Troy Murphy, a move that could
help New Jersey clear salary space at the end
of the season.
The struggling Atlanta Hawks acquired
guard Kirk Hinrich from Washington in a five-
player trade, upgrading their backcourt for the
playoff run. The Hawks
also received forward
Hilton Armstrong in
exchange for guard Mike
Bibby, rookie guard
Jordan Crawford, swing-
man Maurice Evans and a
first-round pick in this
year’s draft.
Deron Williams The Hornets and Kings
agreed on a trade sending
forward Carl Landry to New Orleans in
exchange for shooting guard Marcus
Thornton and cash. The deal gives the playoff-
contending Hornets depth in the frontcourt,
but at the cost of a popular former LSU star
who can score in a flurry.
The Jazz also will receive the Nets’ first-
round pick in 2011, which could be a lottery
pick, along with cash and Golden State’s 2012
first-round draft pick. The Nets hope Williams
will sign a contract extension, which they can
offer this summer. If so, he would become the
face of their franchise when they move to
Brooklyn in 2012.
The deal came two days after the Nets failed
to land Anthony from the Denver Nuggets.
Jazz CEO Greg Miller said he made the move
because of a “gut feeling” that he wouldn’t be
able to sign Williams to a long-term deal after
next season.
The Jazz were a perennial contender with
Williams, but his reputation took a hit when
Hall of Fame coach Jerry Sloan retired one
day after clashing with him during a game.
Golden State is expected to buy out
Murphy’s contract to make him a free agent.
Wright’s and Gadzuric’s contracts — worth
about $11 million combined this year, close to
the same as Murphy’s — also expire at the
end of the season and help New Jersey clear
salary cap space.
The Hornets-Kings trade upset at least one
NBA owner — the Dallas Mavericks’ Mark
Cuban — who questioned the fairness of the
NBA allowing a league-owned team to absorb
more salary while at the same time sending
cash to the other club involved in the trade.
The NBA took over the Hornets in December
from founder George Shinn, who was having
cash-flow problems and wanted to unload the
club quickly.
The Hawks have lost four out of five games
and slipped to fifth in the top-heavy Eastern
Conference. Not only do they have to worry
about catching the teams ahead of them, but
the sixth-place Knicks, who began the night
five games behind Atlanta, made one of
biggest splashes ahead of Thursday’s trade
deadline by acquiring Anthony.

If CCS went with the traditional 1-vs-16, 2- games that were decided by eight points or a .500 mark somewhere. Second, the simple

Someone asked me recently why the top

Interesting question. My thought is it’s

blowouts in the early rounds of the playoffs.
vs-15, etcetera, there would be many more
lopsided games. Imagine this: the Jefferson
boys’ team, seeded No. 9 in Division III, beat
No. 16 Prospect by 16 points — one of the
largest margins in the first round. Now if the
ninth-best team in the bracket can win that
easily, what would top-seeded Sacred Heart
Cathedral do to Prospect?
Granted, I’m a firm believer of the “on any
given day…” mantra, but there is not a lot of
parity in the high school game. The best are
the best for a reason.
With the byes in place, however, first- and
second-round games should be a lot more
competitive, ramping up excitement and
making the entire CCS experience a better
product. Tuesday’s night 34 first-round
games — both boys and girls — featured 14
less, including four games decided by a
point.
So while fans may have to wait a couple of
extra rounds to see the top seeds play, at least
the early-round games will be a lot more
interesting.

Haters of the West Catholic Athletic
League always grumble around tournament
time about the perceived “elite” treatment the
boys’ and girls’ basketball programs receive
from CCS.
Everyone knows the top two, three teams
in the WCAL are elite, haters question the
last three teams in the WCAL getting into
CCS with losing records.
First, it’s allowed — any team that has a
losing overall record finished the season with
fact is, the WCAL is the best league in CCS
— even the last-place teams are better than
many programs that have winning records.
The perfect example is Valley Christian’s
81-67 win over Capuchino. The Mustangs
were the darling of the PAL this season, fin-
ishing as a co-division champion and enjoy-
ing an overall record of 16-8. Valley
Christian came into the game with an 8-17
mark. Seeding-wise, Cap was No. 13 and
Valley No. 12.
It should come as no surprise the Warriors
cruised to the win.

regulation in response to that defense, and
saw their respectable 33 percent shooting in
the first half drop to 19 percent in the second.
After struggling from the floor in the first, Sac
City found a bit of range, shooting 37 percent
in the game’s latter half.
CSM led by one at the break, 27-26, behind
a 10-point, six-rebound half by Trish
Malaspina. Coming in, the Bulldogs’ focus
was on containing Sac City’s trio of scorers in
Collette Eugene, Nikkia Davis and Treshenia
Solomon, who all came into the contest aver-
aging double-figure points for the season.
CSM had no legitimate answer for
Solomon, the Panthers’ big offensive presence
in the interior, who was 4 for 6 from the floor
in the half. Davis and Eugene, however, were
held in check for the majority of the game.
The Bulldogs looked like they would take
control to start the second half by going on a
mini-spurt that raised their lead to six with
13:18 left in the game.
But the Panthers, who shot 27 percent in the
first half and were 1 of 10 from 3-point land,
could suddenly shoot. Mercedes Dobson, who
came into the game averaging 4.5 points per
game, doubled that total on her first three
shots of the half, all 3-pointers — her third
gave the Panthers a 43-40 lead with under 10
minutes to play in the second half.
But the Bulldogs responded with an 11-2
run that had them up 51-45 with 3:31 left in
regulation.
Things fell apart from there for CSM.
They’d be outscored 13-2 the rest of the way,
showing their youth by being careless with the
basketball.The Bulldogs were 1 of 5 shooting
in the overtime period.
“I’m just so proud of our team because
every game they’re trying to get better at
something, trying to execute and we under-
stand the game plan,” Warner said. “I’m just
really proud. They all work, they all want it,
they all have a piece of the team. They do well
and together they play well. Our shots just
weren’t falling tonight, you know? Some days
it’s there, some days it’s not.”
Malaspina capped a great CSM career with
14 points and 14 rebounds. Kimmie Fung
added eight rebounds of her own while scor-
ing eight points. LeShay Wallace was in dou-
ble figures for the Bulldogs. She scored 10
points.
The Panthers were led by Davis and her 14
points.

WILDCATS
Continued from page 11
ficult for the Leland defense to keep up
with her. When it did, it left the rest of
the Wildcats to fill the void.
Erika Negrete and Gianna Rosati
filled the void admirably. Both fresh-
men, each had a goal: Negrete’s strike
just before halftime and Rosati’s tally
with about 15 minutes to play to ice the
victory.
Negrete’s goal was the most surpris-
ing. She was making her varsity debut
after spending the season at the frosh-
soph level. She appears to have a nose
for the goal.
“We only have three forwards (on the
varsity roster),” Navarrete said. “We
needed another set of legs.”
With about four minutes before half-
time, Duffner intercepted a Leland goal
kick about 35 yards from the Chargers’
net. Duffner broke on goal and, as the
defense collapsed on her, she sent a
cross along the ground into the Leland
penalty box, where it was deflected by
a Charger defender. But Negrete, who
was crashing the goal on the play,
stopped on a dime, recovered backward
to gain control of the ball before
unleashing her shot that found the back
of the net.
Considering the play of Leland goal-
keeper Rachelle Tanase — who fin-
ished with 12 saves — Navarrete was
relieved to get that first goal.
“I think it takes pressure off the
whole team,” Navarrete said. “We were
playing real well.”
The first half was controlled by
Woodside, which spent a majority of
the time in the Leland half of the field.
On the rare occasion the Chargers got
Woodside’s Taylor Duffner traps the ball off a throw-in during the
Wildcats’2-0 win over Leland in the first round of the CCS Division I playoffs.
past midfield with a head of steam, the
Woodside defense was there to clear
balls away. The Wildcats’ defense of
Rosati, Jessica Diedrich, Emma Danz
and Allison Gillespie was so effective,
Woodside goalkeeper Lily Garza did
not face a shot and handled the ball only
twice.
Heading out for the second half,
Navarrete warned his defense to be pre-
pared for a desperate Leland squad.
“I told them, ‘I guarantee you’re
going to see a much different Leland
team,’” Navarrete said.
He was right. Leland opened the sec-
ond half with a sense of urgency. The
SPORTS
NATHAN MOLLAT / DAILY JOURNAL
Chargers appeared to be quicker to the
ball and started stringing some passes
together. Garza was a little more busy
in the second half, finishing with two
saves.
Leland’s pressure was short-lived,
however, and with about 15 minutes
left in the game, the Wildcats sealed the
win on Rosati’s goal.
Rosati moved up into the penalty box
on a Woodside corner kick, which
Caitlin Brandman whipped into the
box. The ball was nodded down —
right to Rosati’s foot. She calmly side-
footed a shot past a surprised Leland
goalkeeper for the game’s final score.
SERRA
Continued from page 11
“Just pressure hard.”
Serra’s ability to pressure and defen-
sively contain Woodside’s Octavio
Perez were the difference in the ball-
game.
In the 17th minute, Shafe pressured a
ball deep in the offensive zone.
“I just found a through pass, made it
down the line,” Shafe said. “I tried pass-
ing it and it got through the goalie.”
Once it got through goalkeeper
Bryan Torres, Robert Peardon was at
the doorstep and gratefully tapped the
ball in for the 1-0 lead.
“Dylan’s got potential to give us that
great spark and I think he did that
today,” Panos said. “He’s a kid that
builds off that sort of confidence. This is
the kind of team where the goals are
coming from all over the place. It’s not
just one guy. So today was Dylan’s day,
so it’s great.”
“We started off slow. We didn’t get
going and pressuring from the begin-
ning,” said Woodside coach Michael
Bustos. “Unfortunately with the out-
come, when you start off slow that’s
what happens as a result. I think these
guys were a little nervous, we have a
very young team. So they get a taste of
what to expect for the upcoming years.”
Woodside’s roster is young, with
Bustos saying he only has four seniors
on his roster. That inexperience may
have been at the root of the second goal.
In the 32nd minute, the Padres were
awarded an indirect free kick following
a foul from just inside 40 yards.
Eduardo Velado did the honors and sent
the ball on a low liner down the middle
of the pitch. As Torres came out to catch
THE DAILY JOURNAL
the ball, Shafe snuck just in front of
him, untouched, and deflected the ball
into the back of the Woodside net for
the 2-0 lead.
“We like our chances when we play
at home,” Panos said. “This field, we’ve
done very well in for most of the year,
particularly in tight games. We have not
lost this year when we’ve gotten the
first goal, so once we got that early
goal, I think everyone’s confidence
goes up.”
“Yes, (the goals were) very frustrat-
ing,” Bustos said. “They were simple,
easy goals. They were both mistakes
(on our part). It’s something we got to
fix for the following year. We have to
learn from it.”
Woodside did their best to make it a
ballgame in the second half — but
things got really physically and chippy
as frustrations mounted.
Serra’s goalkeeper Alex Trulio left
the game following a collision in his
penalty box that left him dizzy. And
there was a lot of extracurricular activi-
ty as the minutes wound down.
Trulio was replaced with Shun Okai
whose save of Perez’s low laser to his
left was the save of the game and pre-
served the clean slate for the Padres.
Serra will face Bellarmine for the
fourth time this year. In three previous
meetings, the Padres are 0-2-1 with
both losses coming at Bellarmine.
“Bellarimine is a very good oppo-
nent,” Shafe said. “We just have to step
up our game, make better passes and
play the wings so we can get to goal.”
“We have the potential to play
Bellarmine four times every year, so,
here we go again,” Panos said. “We got
game number four coming up on
Saturday and I think these guys are
hungry for it. They’re still the number
one team and it’s going to be a big chal-
lenge.”

Ladybugs are cute,but not inside Luxury home
By Lee Reich
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
“Ladybug, ladybug fly away home ...”
Whoops, she did! And her home is also
my home and your home.
With spring just around the corner,
she’s awakening and coming indoors.
Ladybugs are such lovable creatures
that it’s hard to call them a pest even
when they act like one. Just now they’re
creeping on windows along with cluster
flies, also benign creatures but “pests”
not at all welcome in my house.
Ladybugs do get even peskier indoors: I
occasionally find them marching across
a pillow or scuffling along the edge of a
teacup.
A NEW BUG ON THE BLOCK
It’s not your imagination that the
annual ladybug migration indoors has
increased in recent years. These home-
bodies are one particular kind of lady-
bug, known officially as Asian multicol-
ored lady beetles (Harmonia axyridis).
Like other species of ladybugs, the
Asian multicolored lady beetle is friend
to gardener and farmer, and she was
deliberately introduced from Asia to
help us out here. She’s happy in her new
home and so far has escaped enough nat-
ural predators to let her numbers soar
and spread.
Asian multicolored lady beetles are
not easily distinguished from the 4,000
other ladybug species worldwide. She
has a red, orange or yellow-orange back
dotted with anywhere from zero to 20
dark spots. Recognize her mostly as the
ladybug that comes to your breakfast
table.
This season’s encounters with lady
beetles began last fall. Asian multicol-
ored lady beetles are also known as
Halloween beetles for their habit of clus-
tering on walls in late October, prefer-

ably light colored walls that face south-
west and are not too far from wooded
areas. Later in the season, frosty weath-
er drove them to seek shelter in cracks
and small openings in the wall.
With spring around the corner, the
beetles are awakening. They creep
around looking for light, and some find
their way into our homes.
And they wake up hungry, so will
devour some aphids and scale insects.
SHE BELONGS OUTDOORS
Still, ladybugs don’t want to be
indoors and neither do we really want
them here — at least, not so many. One
way, then, to please both ladybugs and
humans is to check and repair caulking
around window and door frames or any
other potential entry points. Another
way is to open a window for a few min-
utes now and then over the next few
weeks; the ladybugs will stretch their
wings and be off. Or periodically vacu-
um the ladybugs up, then empty the vac-
uum cleaner bag outdoors.
For those into gadgetry, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture has devel-
oped a blacklight trap. Ladybugs fly
toward the light, bump into smooth plas-
tic, vertical panels, then slide through a
funnel into a waiting bag, which can be
periodically emptied outdoors.
Spraying or swatting is too brutal an
act to inflict on a ladybug, and is also
foolish from a practical standpoint. Dead
ladybugs stink and give off a yellow
fluid that stains fabrics. Also, dead lady-
bugs attract other insects: carpet beetles,
for instance, which, besides carpets and
dead ladybugs, also dine on leather, soft
wood, grains and many other things. Not
an insect you want to attract.
Even as I release ladybugs outdoors in
coming weeks, I’m hoping that they
don’t fly too far away. To that end, I’ll
plant dill, daisies, and other flowers
heavy in nectar in my garden as well as
limit use of pesticides. Ms. Ladybug, mi
casa es su casa. Fly away home.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
magazines
get facelifts
By Colleen Long
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Luxury home magazines that provide read-
ers a peek inside some of the swankiest, most interesting
abodes around the world are getting a freshening up — from
new editors and publishers to new approaches to technology.
The venerable Architectural Digest, which slipped from its
position as ad-page leader in recent years, has a new editor and
a March cover that proclaims in pink: “The Age of Elegance.”
Elle Decor, defending its position at the top of the heap, has
witty new columns and vibrant features.
Traditional Home has a new publisher and launched a digi-
tal version called “TradHome.” Veranda has a new editor and a
new app. The list goes on.
Part of this is coincidence, part of it necessity; Architectural
Digest stole editor Margaret Russell from Elle Decor, so for-
mer Executive Editor Michael Boodro got the job leading that
magazine.
But the economy had a role in all of it. The magazines —
like the rest of the publishing world and the country in gener-
al, really — took a big hit when the economy tanked a few
years ago. Advertising plunged, designers lost work and no
one was buying anything, let alone a $6 magazine advertising
a $2,200 pair of sheets.
Many magazines folded, from the upstart Domino to Martha
Stewart’s Blueprint. The ones that emerged are sinewy and
focused — aiming to stay squarely in the center of the design
dialogue.
“I feel it coming back,” said Ann Maine, editor of Traditional
Home. “I see it at trade shows — there is more attendance,
more buying. I stand in a show room to look at new products
and across the room I see retailers placing orders. Work is
picking up for designers from Indianapolis to New York to
L.A.”
Advertising is on the upswing, too. In 2010, Elle Decor had
1,121 pages of ads, up from 832 the year before. AD had 837,
up from 791. House Beautiful was 710, up from 650, accord-
ing to Mediamark Research, Inc., a media research provider.
The term “shelter” magazine is used for the most upscale
home magazines, which focus on living well. They feature
beautifully designed rooms, or create them.
Architectural Digest is something of an anomaly in the
bunch — its readership is 50 percent male. A stalwart on fancy
coffee tables, it was seen to have staled in recent years and its
advertising has not yet returned to previous levels. In 2006,

Decorating with photo art
By Kim Cook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
One of the hottest trends in home decor is
hanging photographic art, which can make a
big impact without costing a lot.
Flip through the pages of any shelter maga-
zine to see examples of arresting imagery, in
color and black and white, of streetscapes,
landscapes, portraits and still lifes.
“Photo art brings in elements of energy,
atmosphere and emotion,” says designer
Thom Felicia, one of many designers and
retailers who are championing the form.
One place to check out new directions in
photo art is artspan.com, a website featuring
contemporary artists. Photographer Irene
Andreadis of Huntington, N.Y., did a striking
series of shots, featured on the site, of an old
train car abandoned in the woods. Her lush,
color-saturated shots of flowers also caught
the eye of Tiffany’s store decorators, who
bought several orchid photos.
Kim Curinga, a photographer based in Eight
Four, Pa., shot a series of feline portraits,
manipulated in Photoshop to look like pop art.
The images, also on artspan.com, have a fun
modern art vibe.
She’s also captured a beautiful group of
Yosemite images, evocative of Ansel Adams’
work.
“Three of these, 5-feet-tall and framed,
hang in my home. I print things large —
they’re more dramatic,” she says.
New Yorker Jen Bekman started
20x200.com in 2007. As she sees it, “there are
a lot of people out there who want to sell their
art and a lot of people who’d like to buy it.
They just have a hard time finding each other.”
The name came from the initial concept,
which was to offer limited editions of 200 of
each art piece, priced at $20. The site now
offers a broader range of sizes and prices.
If you’re new to photo art, how should you
decide what to buy?
“Start with prints and art books,” Bekman
says. “It’s a great way to figure out what you
like. Don’t be shy about orienting yourself
through something that already interests you:
animals, sports, books, nature or even a spe-
cific color.”
Inexpensive photo art posters and some lim-
ited editions can also be found on sites like

Atmospherics bring
a character of quiet
By Kim Cook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
“Atmospheric” decor is characterized by
soft textures, transparency, iridescence, opaci-
ty — or even all of those at once. It can create
a mood of quietude and retreat.
And it is, some designers say, popular now
as an antidote to an increasingly jarring and
sped-up world.
“We’re seeking balance and understanding,
and we want to unclutter our minds,” says
design consultant Laura Guido-Clark of
Berkeley, Calif. Despite atmospheric decor’s
quiet, it has “an inherent energy,” she says.
Many of these elements were on the run-
ways of Monique Lhuillier and Chanel this
spring, and in furnishings, they offer a coun-
terpoint to the season’s alter ego, an exuberant
jumble trunk of hot hues and wild colors.
The colors in atmospherics tend to be light-
weight and sheer — as Guido-Clark notes,
“veiled like mist or air.” Yet there can be ele-
ments of strength and purity. We see a lot of
dreamy hues — soft whites, blush, silver —
but also hefty colors — graphite, charcoal.
Textures include voile, moire silk, slubbed
wool, crystal, hammered metals, blown glass,
ceramic, even translucent concrete.
Mud Australia, a top ceramics studio, cre-
ates beautifully curvy vessels and plates in
soft, chalky hues with names like “ocean,”
“milk,” “powder,” “dust.”
Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka creates
conceptual furniture out of interesting materi-
als. He’s designed a line of thick, clear poly-
carbonate furniture for Kartell called The
Invisibles. And Paper Cloud, created for
Moroso, is a white, fluffy sectional sofa.
Describing his interest in light and wind,
Yoshioka says, “I’m fascinated by elements
that stir and stimulate the imagination.”
Italian designer Diego Grandi, who along
with Manola Bossi created the voluptuously
elegant gold-glazed Oppiacei Table, says, “I
call myself a ‘slow addict.’ I listen to silence
with pleasure.”
Trove’s dreamlike wallpapers include Ciel,
with a cloud motif; an oceanic Sargasso; and
Nekkar and Askella, both featuring a cascade
of feathery petals.

Urban gardening experiment blossoms in Houston
By Monica Rhor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — A funny thing happened
after Keiji Asakura suggested the creation of
a vegetable garden in the middle of the con-
crete corridor and skyscraper canyon that is
downtown Houston.
It actually came to fruition — with a swift-
ness that stunned the landscape architect and
the nonprofit group that shared his vision.
Within three weeks, seeds, plants and con-
tainer pots had been donated, city officials
had hopped on board, and a nascent garden
had sprouted outside the 25-story Bob Lanier
Public Works Building.
Now, a mere two months later, herbs, veg-
etables and flowers are flourishing on a

“AD, which had been the leader and the go-
to place, lost it to Elle Decor, but whereas Elle
Decor’s advertising has returned, AD was still
foundering,” said Martin S. Walker, a media
consultant. “It didn’t move with the times.”
Enter Margaret Russell. The former Elle
Decor editor, and Bravo’s “Top Design”
judge, has already made some subtle changes
to the magazine, such as adding a new last
page called “Exchange Rate” that promises to
reveal “Key sales, surprising steals and the
state of the market.” She’s increasing cover-
age of art and architecture, and shepherding a
redesign of AD’s website.
Russell said she’s not focused on the com-

And this experiment, which involves non-

and employees of the Department of Public
Works and Engineering, has become living

exclusive magazine, but it’s not just about a
price tag. It’s about looking at the detail —
how could that inspire you?” she said.
Meanwhile, at Russell’s old digs, Boodro
has created a design directory for the website
and a What’s Hot! feature. The April issue,
currently being tweaked, is full of fantastic
exotic homes, new columns and tons of color.
“I do feel confident in the choices that I
make,” he said. “I think my interests are the

the way people live. I’m a little bit of a voyeur
that way.”

Vegetable Garden Project” is also part of a
trend in cities across the country, where once-

and rooftops are being turned into communi-

for the gardeners, farmers markets, and for
food banks serving the needy.
Although community gardens date back at
least to Eleanor Roosevelt’s World War II
Victory Garden, more and more cities are
now using them as a tool for economic devel-

Of course, all the magazine editors say their
readers are diverse in age and makeup, but
industry figures show most are upper-class
women in their 50s. They are loyal — there is
very little crossover among the magazines. So
to keep up with the times, the magazines are
reaching out to bloggers and trying to position
themselves as trusted go-to brands. They all
have tens of thousands of Facebook fans, and
people devoted to Twitter. Boodro says he has
found writers and designers from blogs.
Dara Caponigro, editor of Veranda, said the

Growing potatoes is in the bag
By Dean Fosdick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Grow bags and potatoes make the perfect
pairing.
The containers take up little room, can be
placed where they get good sun and eliminate
much of the labor required for growing pota-
toes. You can dispose of the spades and garden
forks.
“No more digging to plant or digging to har-
vest,” said Frank Oliver, head of product
design and development at Gardener’s Supply
Co. in Burlington, Vt. “Potatoes are one of the
most labor-intensive food crops to grow in the
garden. But doing the growing in bags mini-
mizes much of the work... . Just turn the bags
over when the potatoes are big enough to eat.”
Grow bags aren’t a new idea. People have
been making their own for years from such
things as plastic garbage bags, wire baskets,
whiskey barrels and buckets.
“What’s new about it are the space-age
materials that are available,” said Jim
Gerritsen, co-owner of Wood Prairie Farm, a
mail-order house specializing in organically
grown potatoes near Bridgewater, Maine.
“These pots allow plants to breathe, retain
water longer and can be used for several grow-
ing seasons. They’re fueling the container
trend.”
The new fabrics resemble the black, plastic-
like sheets used by landscapers as weed barri-
ers beneath layers of mulch. They allow water
to escape rather than pool at the bottom of the
bag, and let air infiltrate the soil, which keeps
the potatoes’ roots from rotting and becoming
susceptible to disease.
About one in every five of the nation’s home
gardeners grows potatoes, said Bruce
Butterfield, market research director for the
National Gardening Association.
“What I found interesting was that almost
half of all those who grow food at home, or 48
percent, grow some kind of food in contain-
ers,” he said.
Potatoes can provide a bountiful harvest,
but require attention.
“They’re gluttons,” Gerritsen said. “They
like a lot of food and water. But if you take
care of them, they’ll take care of you with sur-

prisingly large returns.”
Planting can begin in early spring — any-
where from six weeks to shortly before the
last killing frost. Find a site that gets six to
eight hours of sunlight per day. For best
results, buy certified disease-free seed pota-
toes.
You can plant small potatoes whole or slice
large potatoes into sections containing two or
three “eyes,” which are small indentations
where buds form. Place them eyes up in a
layer of potting soil about four inches from the
bottom of the container and a foot or so apart.
Cover them with a dirt-moss mix that retains
water.
Mound the soil around the plants as they
grow to generate more tubers, which form
along the stems rather than at the roots.
Continue mounding gradually until the con-
tainer is full. It’s time to harvest when the
vines die back.
Beware, however, these
potato-growing errors. Don’t:
• Forget to water. “If potatoes get dry, you’re

• Overfeed. “I recommend a slow-release
organic fertilizer that will nurture the plants
over an entire season,” Gerritsen said. “Give
them too much of a (chemical) jolt and you’ll
get a sturdy plant with a whole lot of foliage,
but at the expense of a sizable crop.”

DATEBOOK
Q&A
Continued from page 1
act’s definition of marriage?
A.DOMA has been used by federal officials to
justify excluding gay couples from a wide range
of benefits that are available to heterosexual
couples.These include federal health,Social
Security,pension and tax benefits,even to gay
couples who were legally married in the
handful of states that recognize same-sex
unions. The Governmental Accountability
Office has estimated that there are more than
1,000 provisions of federal law “in which
benefits,rights,and privileges are contingent on
marital status or in which marital status is a
factor.”
Widows have been forced to pay estate taxes,
where a survivor in a heterosexual marriage
would have no tax bill from an inheritance.
Federal employees may not enroll their same-
sex spouse in federal health plans or take family
and medical leave to care for their partner.
Same-sex couples cannot file joint income tax
returns or benefit from state retiree health
insurance plans that are controlled by federal

the president will have to explain why he
thinks now is the appropriate time to stir
up a controversial issue that sharply
divides the nation,” said Boehner’s
spokesman Michael Steel.
Gay groups, which had long pressured
the administration to take a step like this,
were pleased. Ron Carey, executive
director of the National Gay and Lesbian
Task Force, called the policy change “a
tremendous step toward recognizing our
common humanity and ending an egre-
gious injustice against thousands of lov-
ing, committed couples who simply
want the protections, rights and respon-
sibilities afforded other married couples.
We thank the Obama administration.”
UTILITY

possible revenue from taxing telephone
services was not included. Mayor Dan
Quigg wanted information on taxing cell
phones and land lines, while Vice Mayor
Marge Colapietro supported discussing
the options with residents.
Councilwoman Gina Papan, on the
other hand, had some issues.
“I’m having a difficult time with this,”
she said. “I know we’re looking for new
revenue. I personally don’t think this is
the way to go.”
Such a tax could be imposed on a vari-
ety of utility services like electricity, gas
services delivered through mains, pipes
or mobile transport, telephone services,

family to Disneyland.
The relationship included several sex-
tax law.DOMA even has been used to prevent a
gay couple from filing a joint petition for
bankruptcy.
Q.But isn’t gay marriage legal in some parts
of the United States?
A.Yes,same-sex marriage is legal in Connecticut,
Iowa,Massachusetts,New Hampshire,Vermont
and the District of Columbia.Another 30 states
have constitutional amendments banning gay
marriage.Still other states recognize civil unions,
but not gay marriage,between partners of the
same sex.
In addition,California’s constitutional
amendment banning same sex marriage,
Proposition 8,has been ruled unconstitutional
by a federal court.The case is on appeal.
Q.So what changed with the
administration’s new view of the matter?
A.DOMA remains in effect.Indeed,Holder said
the Justice Department will continue to enforce
it.But in federal courts,the significant legal
firepower of the federal government has
changed sides,which could influence judges’
consideration of anti-DOMA lawsuits.
Q.How have the legal challenges to DOMA
fared?
A. The legal case against DOMA was difficult to
make before states began recognizing gay
marriage.But last year,U.S.District Judge Joseph
Tauro in Massachusetts ruled DOMA
unconstitutional in the face of challenges by
Obama’s move may position him
politically at the forefront of rising pub-
lic support for gay marriage. Polling
results can vary rather significantly
depending on what words are used to
describe gay marriage, but there is a
gradual trend in public opinion toward
more acceptance of gay marriage.
An Associated Press-National
Constitution Center Poll conducted last
August found 52 percent of Americans
saying the federal government should
give legal recognition to marriages
between couples of the same sex, while
46 percent said it should not. In polling
by ABC News and the Washington Post,
support for the legalization of gay mar-
riage has climbed from 37 percent in
2003 to 47 percent in February 2010.
Holder’s statement said, “Much of the
legal landscape has changed in the 15
years since Congress passed” the
Defense of Marriage Act. He noted that
video or cable services, water or
garbage, according to a staff report writ-
ten by Finance Director LaRae Brown.
Papan was particularly against taxing
garbage or water services, as costs for
both are quite high, she said.
Any utility users’ tax would require
voter approval. The passage threshold
would depend on how the city proposes
to use the funds. If the money is pro-
posed as a general tax, it would require a
simple majority while a tax dedicated to
a certain use requires two-thirds
approval rating.
The tax comes as a percentage added
to a customer’s bill. Using 2009 receipts,
for example, a 1 percent tax on services
from Pacific Gas and Electric would
raise $205,680 for Millbrae, Brown
wrote. At 5 percent, that represents
$1.028 million or $2.056 million at 10
percent.
repeat courses or participate in inde-
pendent study.
Moving forward, the task force sug-
gests implementing a combination of
online curriculum and teacher-led
instruction, called blended curriculum,
through summer school and at the com-
prehensive and continuation high
schools.
In the new proposed curriculum, stu-
dents who failed a course could go
online to focus on areas with which they
had difficulty. Those assignments will
come after an assessment test. Students
would work independently online and
have one-on-one time with the teacher
for additional support.
Starting with two sections per school
at first, each school would provide
opportunities to earn credits through a
ual incidents at Craighead’s home and
the giving of alcohol, according to the
District Attorney’s Office.
After Craighead broke off the relation-
ship and returned to her ex-boyfriend, the
boy told his mother who in turn fired her
for violating the center’s Christian
lifestyle contract. The mother also called
her insurance carrier who told her to con-

same-sex couples as well as the state of
Massachusetts.
Two new federal lawsuits in Connecticut and
New York raise many of the same issues.
Q.What has the Supreme Court said about
DOMA?
A.Nothing,so far.The court has so far turned
down appeals asking it to weigh in on the law.
But those appeals were filed after lower courts
upheld DOMA.The court often hears appeals
when a federal law has been struck down.There
is no timetable for when the next DOMA case
might reach the Supreme Court.
Q.Are the DOMA and Prop 8 case in
California alike?
A.Yes and no.From 35,000 feet up,they both
deal with the same basic issue:Does the
government have a legitimate interest in
preventing gay couples from getting married
and enjoying the same benefits as other
married couples? But they details differ and
eventual Supreme Court review of one or the
other would not necessarily produce identical
results.The Prop 8 case probably would ask the
court to decide whether gay marriage should
be a right nationwide.In DOMA,the court could
strike down a portion of the law without forcing
states to recognize same-sex marriages.Of
course,until appeals come forward and the
court agrees to hear them,this is all speculation.
the Supreme Court has ruled that laws
criminalizing homosexual conduct are
unconstitutional and that Congress has
repealed the military’s “don’t ask, don’t
tell” policy.
At the White House, spokesman Jay
Carney said Obama himself is still
“grappling” with his personal view of
gay marriage but has always personally
opposed the Defense of Marriage Act as
“unnecessary and unfair.”
Boehner said that Obama has conclud-
ed the Defense of Marriage Act fails to
meet a rigorous standard under which
courts view with suspicion any laws tar-
geting minority groups who have suf-
fered a history of discrimination.
The attorney general said the Justice
Department had defended the law in
court until now because the government
was able to advance reasonable argu-
ments for the law based on a less strict
standard.
A tax on water or cable services would
not raise as much. A 1 percent tax would
raise $41,400 if added to water services
or $45,150 on cable services.
Quigg wanted more information about
taxing telephone services. A 1 percent
tax on cell phones, for example, may go
unnoticed particularly by young users,
he said. Brown explained taxing phone
services, particularly cell phone service,
is complicated as federal and state laws
apply. But she agreed to put together
information for a future meeting.
If the council was to move forward, it
could incur costs for hiring a firm to
research tax options, conduct a city-wide
workshop programs and survey voters’
preferences. In addition, placing a meas-
ure on the ballot will cost about $36,800,
Brown wrote. While Colapietro favored
a community dialogue, the council did
not give direction on the matter.
Credit Recovery Lab. Students who have
fallen behind or failed units within a cur-
rent course can be referred to the lab
during the semester. The task force
believes this will result in less dropouts,
more kids on track during the school
year and a smaller demand for summer
school.
Starting this summer, 50 percent of
classes could have the blended model
with nearly all classes embracing a mix
of online and in-class instruction.
If the board favors the proposal, the
next step would be deciding on an online
curriculum vendor, revising the adminis-
trative regulations for alternative credits
and have the curriculum council approve
course changes. The state budget, which
will not be known until June, will play a
major part in this, said Laurence.
tact police and child protective services.
The boy was not cooperative — a
decision supported by his mother — and
wanted the case “to go away,” which led
to the disposition, said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
In addition to the year of court proba-
tion, Craighead is prohibited from teach-
ing minors or engaging in child care.

Thursday, Feb. 24, 2011
Even if you are subjected to some unexpected changes
orchestrated by outside forces in the year ahead, take advan-
tage of what occurs and you’ll stay one step ahead of them.
Make things work as if you designed them yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be positive, imaginative and
resourceful, and you will be able to turn negative situations
into positive ones. Even if it takes all your smarts to reverse
things, it’ll be worth it.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Although you may get an
opportunity to take unfair advantage of a situation that
involves others, you’ll think twice about it and won’t. It’ll turn
out to be a wise decision.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be careful not to be taken
in by a know-it-all. Chances are this person won’t know what
s/he is talking about and could take you down a blind alley.
Follow your own lead.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Enjoy yourself when you’re
with friends, but don’t try to introduce a business proposal
into the conversation. They’ll resent you for trying to take
advantage of the relationship you have with them.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Although Lady Luck might
try to help you fulfill an ambition of yours, if you’re too nega-
tive, you won’t recognize it, and it’ll go by the wayside. Try to
be optimistic.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Without realizing it, you could be
much too assertive in dealing with others. However, after get-
ting rebuffed a few times, you’re likely to recognize this and
become more friendly.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Unless you are thorough in
your evaluation of something important, you could pass it up
and not even realize what you lost. Once you do, however,
you’ll try to repair the damage.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Should early events be a bit
trying, do your best to keep your head straight until things
quiet down again, and they will. If you don’t get yourself
rattled, the rest of the day will be a breeze.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Regardless of what is asked
of you and how much you resent it, do what is expected of
you. Your good efforts will eventually be noticed and could
even be rewarded in some way.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t do anything that
others might consider to be a bit underhanded, because they
are likely to find a way to get even with you. Try to stay above
board at all times.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Trying to force issues
or make things happen is likely to be a formula for causing
severe complications. Regardless of what’s going on, you’ll be
better off letting events run their own courses.
Previous
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Early happenings might
cause you to view things from a negative perspective, but
Sudoku
if you stay the course and remain optimistic, you will be
rewarded and end up being grateful that you had.

Americans,Turks
Gadhafi’s control weakened By Paul Schemm tion was for the
flee Libya’s chaos
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANKARA, Turkey — Foreigners

Obama sharpens critique of
Libya amid widening unrest
By Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Obama
administration on Wednesday
sharpened its condemnation of a
bloody crackdown on Libyan
opposition demonstrators as it
broadened its outreach to govern-
ment officials, dissidents, rights
activists and youth in other Arab
nations across a Middle East that is
seething with unrest.
Amid the tumult rocking the
region, Obama condemned the vio-
lence in Libya in the sharpest terms
Washington has yet used and
directed his administration to pre-
pare a full range of options, includ-
ing possible sanctions that could
freeze the assets and ban travel to
the U.S. by Libyan officials. He
said he was sending Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clinton to
Geneva for international talks
aimed at stopping the bloodshed
and formulating a unified global
message to Libyan leader
Moammar Gadhafi.
“The suffering and bloodshed is
outrageous and it is unacceptable,”
Obama told
reporters after
meeting with
Clinton at the
White House.
“So are threats
and orders to
shoot peaceful
protesters and
Barack Obama further punish
the people of
Libya. These actions violate inter-
national norms and every standard
of common decency. This violence
must stop.”
Obama did not, however, lay out
specific measures he would take if
Gadhafi did not respond to the
appeals. In part, U.S. officials said,
this was because of fears that
Gadhafi might order reprisals
against Americans and other for-
eigners still in Libya if threatened
with sanctions. A ferry carrying 35
U.S. diplomats and family mem-
bers along with an unknown num-
ber of private Americans was to
have left Tripoli for the
Mediterranean island of Malta on
Wednesday but was delayed due to
poor weather.

BENGHAZI, Libya — The scope
of Moammar Gadhafi’s control was
whittled away Wednesday as major
Libyan cities and towns closer to the
capital fell to the rebellion against
his rule. In the east, now all but bro-
ken away, the opposition vowed to
“liberate” Tripoli, where the Libyan
leader is holed up with a force of
militiamen roaming the streets and
tanks guarding the outskirts.
In a further sign of Gadhafi’s fal-
tering hold, two air force pilots —
one from the leader’s own tribe —
parachuted out of their warplane and
let it crash into the eastern Libyan
desert rather than follow orders to
bomb an opposition-held city.
International momentum was
building for action to punish
Gadhafi’s regime for the bloody
crackdown it has unleashed against
the uprising that began Feb. 15.
President Barack Obama said the
suffering and bloodshed in Libya “is
outrageous and it is unacceptable,”
and he directed his administration to
prepare a full range of options,
including possible sanctions that
could freeze the assets and ban trav-
el to the U.S. by Libyan officials.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy
raised the possibility of the European
Union cutting off economic ties.
Another proposal gaining some trac-
United Nations to
declare a no-fly
zone over Libya
to prevent it using
warplanes to hit
protesters. U.N.

Commissioner

Moammar Rights Navi
Gadhafi
Pillay said that if
reports of such strikes are confirmed,
“there’s an immediate need for that
level of protection.”
Italy’s Foreign Minister Franco
Frattini said estimates of some 1,000
people killed in the violence in Libya
were “credible,” although he stressed
information about casualties was
incomplete. The New York-based
Human Rights Watch has put the
death toll at nearly 300, according to
a partial count. In Tripoli, Gadhafi’s
stronghold, protest organizers called
for new rallies Thursday and Friday,
raising the potential for a more
bloody confrontation.
Militiamen and Gadhafi supporters
— a mix of Libyans and foreign
African fighters bused in — roamed
the capital’s main streets, called up
Tuesday night by the Libyan leader
in a fist-pounding speech in which he
vowed to fight to the death. The gun-
men fired weapons in the air, chanti-
ng “Long live Gadhafi,” and waved
green flags. With a steady rain, streets
were largely empty, residents said.
fled the chaos in Libya by the thou-
sands Wednesday, with Americans
and Turks climbing aboard ships,
Europeans boarding evacuation flights
and North Africans racing to border
crossings in overcrowded vans.
Two Turkish ships whisked 3,000
citizens away from the unrest engulf-
ing Libya as Turkey cranked up its
largest-ever evacuation, seeking to
protect an estimated 25,000 Turkish
workers in Libya. More than 200
Turkish companies are involved in
construction projects in Libya worth
over $15 billion, and some construc-
tion sites have come under attack by
protesters.
The safety of U.S. citizens was a
prime concern after failed attempts
earlier this week to get them out by
plane. But hundreds of Americans
safely boarded a 600-passenger ferry
at Tripoli’s As-shahab port on
Wednesday for the five-hour journey
to Malta, a Mediterranean island south
of Italy. Over a dozen countries —
including Russia, China, Germany
and Ukraine — sent planes in to help
their citizens escape an increasingly
unstable situation.
Tripoli airport was chaotic and over-
flowing with stranded passengers, said
Carlos Dominguez, who flew from the
Libyan capital to Madrid. He said peo-
ple could not buy tickets online and
Libyan Airlines was accepting only
cash.
