Federal cuts affect KCSM
Local public radio and TV station facing budget obstacles
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Federal legislation to eliminate
federal funding to National Public
Radio is one of a couple budget pro-
posals that could affect efforts to
keep San Mateo-based KCSM on
the airwaves.
Last year, the radio and television
station for the San Mateo County
El Camino Real just south of Broadway in Burlingame suffered from flooding after a series of storms saturated
the Peninsula.Forecasters are predicting wet weather through the week with showers this weekend and a rain
storm with isolated thunder storms Sunday.

SACRAMENTO — A powerful

California on Friday, unleashing a

crash on Interstate 80.
The afternoon crash in the moun-

Bay to Breakers
Redwood City company ‘a perfect
fit’for annual San Francisco race
By Janna Brancolini
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
The 2011 Bay to Breakers race
has signed a new title sponsor just
nine weeks before the event’s cen-
tennial, organizers announced
Friday.
Zazzle, a Redwood City-based
company that allows customers to
create personalized products rang-
ing from calendars to skateboards,
inked a six-figure deal last week to
become the title sponsor for the next
two years, company co-founder and
chief product officer Jeff Beaver
said.
Terms of the agreement weren’t
released, but Beaver, 31, noted it
was “actually pretty pricey” to take
over the city for a day.

Astronaut twins reunited
after five months apart
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. —
Astronaut Scott Kelly is back home
reunited with his twin astronaut broth-
er, after a five-month space station mis-
sion that was marred by the shooting of
his congresswoman sister-in-law.
Kelly hurried back to Houston on
Thursday, just a day after landing in
Kazakhstan aboard a Russian capsule.
He was immediately reunited with
identical twin Mark, who’s married to
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
Giffords is recuperating in Houston
from a gunshot wound to the head. She
was shot Jan. 8 while meeting with con-
stituents in Tucson, Ariz. The tragedy
occurred three months into Scott
Kelly’s stay at the International Space
Station.
Scott Kelly, who served as station
commander, said he called his brother as
much as he could from orbit, but satellite
coverage for phone calls was sporadic.
That’s why he couldn’t wait to be reunit-
ed.

Super full moon to shine Saturday

LOS ANGELES — There’s a full

It will appear larger as it makes its

Scientists estimate the “supermoon”
rising in the east at sunset will appear 14
percent bigger and 30 percent brighter at
its peak.
Full moons vary in size because of the

THE DAILY JOURNAL
A psychological thriller that doesn’t thrill
By Keith Kreitman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
There is no question that young
Rajiv Joseph is a playwright of the
first rank and he has a string of
recent successes to support that.
“The North Pool” was work
shopped at Theatreworks’ 2009
New Works Festival and is being
world premiered at the Lucie Stern
Theater in Palo Alto.
In this work, Joseph has taken the
high school experience as a
metaphor for the social and cultural
complexities of modern life and
presumably was intending to deal
with ethnic profiling and political
correctness. But has he done that?
Certainly, his dialogue and char-
acterizations are first rate, but the
format of the plot left me wanting.
It’s a form that has been employed
before by other playwrights and, in
fact, Joseph gives broad hints of the
style of narrative in the play itself.
It’s like the peeling of an onion
where, as one pulls away the layers
one by one, we plumb down toward
the central truth, revealed near the
end. In this play, after many unnec-
essary misleading directions, the
truth seems to come in from left
field.
The hardest to write is two char-
acter plays because these need to fill
the stage and hold the audience for
the entire hour and a half with no
intermission. Remi Sandri as Dr.
Danielson, the frustrated and self-
engrossed vice principal of a very
large urban high school, and Adam
Poss as Khadim Asmaan, a laid-
back and quietly self-assured 18
year-old-Syrian born student, do an
a commendable job of it.
From left,Vice Principal Danielson (Remi Sandri) and Khadim (Adam Poss) tion to full principal ship to an
in ‘The North Pool,’a world premiere by Rajiv Joseph.
The play is set in Dr. Danielson’s
office as the high school is clearing
for spring break. Khadim has been
called in for some transgression of
which he is not initially aware. After
Dr. Danielson calls him on a series
of lies he is presenting as excuses
for missing a class, Khadim asks for
his detention to be immediately
served in Danielson’s office.
So, now all is deceptively quiet
and resolved until Danielson begins,
unilaterally, to continue the ques-
tioning, which turns into an unex-
pected peeling of the onion of truth
as he begins to present physical evi-
dence of what Khadim has actually
been doing in this school after he
was booted out of an elite private
school. It isn’t until the last
moments that the real reason for the
confrontation is exposed. The reve-
lation, although hinted at several
times in the play, still comes as a

African-American woman with
shocker near the end.
Having said all that, I found this
play to be perplexing. I wondered
why the student needed to be from
the Middle East? The things he was
revealed to be doing in this high
school could have been typical of
any contemporary student born in
the United States. Ethnicity did not
appear to be an issue and a cultural
clash does not appear to be at the
crux of hostile confrontation.
I was teethed on the Alfred
Hitchcock version of the peeling of
the onion technique, where each
clue is uniquely relevant to the heart
of the mystery without wide digres-
sions. So perhaps I felt betrayed by
the way this play unfolds, with most
clues being misleading diversions.
Further, the playwright throws in
all sorts of other irrelevant issues
such as the white vice principal’s
own frustration at losing the promo-

identical credentials. Also, much is
made of the series of tunnels lead-
ing to the North Pool of the school
which proves utterly irrelevant to
the narrative.
All through the play, one wonders
which character deserves our sym-
pathy and at the end, my conclusion
was neither. And the broad expres-
sions of emotion at the end seemed
quite adolescently written and per-
formed.
The playwright tells us he has
been working in the script for six
years and is still rewriting in
rehearsals. Perhaps it is over-
worked. It does qualify as a psycho-
logical thriller, but it didn’t thrill
me.
What can be said positively of the
production is the set of Danielson’s

designed by Erik Flatmo is utterly

Republicans
debate future
amid budget
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California
Republicans meet in Sacramento
this weekend at a time of high ten-
sion within the party, with GOP law-
makers being pressured to avoid
compromise with Democratic Gov.
Jerry Brown and the party struggling
to stay relevant after widespread
losses at the polls in 2010.
Among the contentious items
being debated is a resolution that
would brand as a traitor any
Republican lawmaker who agrees to
let voters decide whether to extend a
series of tax increases to help close
the state’s budget shortfall. Brown
has asked the Legislature to call the
special election, along with making
$12.5 billion in spending cuts, to
help close the state’s $26.6 billion
deficit.
The state party also will consider
ways to thwart the effects of
California’s new top-two primary
system, which voters approved in
the hope that it would force candi-
dates to appeal to a wider pool of
voters and thus lead to more moder-
ate politicians headed to
Sacramento.
The party’s three-day spring con-
vention opens Friday night with an
address by John Bolton, who served
as United Nations ambassador and a
top arms control official under for-
mer President George W. Bush.
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, a
potential GOP presidential candi-
date, is the keynote speaker
Saturday.

The College of San Mateo’s
Ethnic Studies department will
host the second annual CSM Asian
LOCAL
Pacific American Film Festival in
the theater (Building 3) March 19
and March 20. The festival lineup
includes:
• “A Village Called Versailles,”
directed by S. Leo Chang. In a
New Orleans neighborhood called
Versailles, a community of
Vietnamese Americans overcame
obstacles to rebuild after
Hurricane Katrina. It is an
empowering story of how the
Versailles people who had already
suffered so much in their lifetime,
turned a devastating disaster into a
catalyst for change and a chance for
a better future.
• “The Oak Park Story,” direct-
ed by Valerie Soe and Russell
Jeung. A film that documents a ten-
ant community struggle to improve
their living conditions in a slum-
lord-managed apartment complex
in East Oakland.
The movies will be shown 7 p.m.
Saturday, March 19. Tickets are $5,
$3 for students and seniors.
Sunday, starting at 1 p.m., there
will be “An Afternoon Matinee
with CCPEP Films.”
The free afternoon features:
• “Out of Infamy: Michi
Wegley,” directed by Sharon
Yamoto and Nancy Kapitanoff.
Michi Weglyn is the author of
Years of Infamy (1976) the first
book to expose the truth behind the
violation of civil rights and the
forced incarceration of more than
120,000 Americans of Japanese
descent during World War II.
Weglyn’s interest in the subject was
personal; she was a victim of the
war as a teenager held in Gila River
Concentration Camp and later mar-
ried to a German Jew who narrow-
ly escaped Hitler’s Holocaust. This
film paints a portrait of her dynam-
ic personality and gives a stunning
human face to a dark chapter in
American History.
• “Speak Out for Justice
(Edited version),” produced by
Visual Communications and the
Nikkei for Civil Rights and
Redress. This year marks the 30th
anniversary of the hearing held by
the Commission on Wartime
Relocation and Internment of
Civilians. “Speak Out for Justice”
was filmed during the 1981 Los
Angeles hearings. The L.A, hear-
ings show Japanese Americans tes-
tifying about their experience in the
concentration camps; many talked
about their experience for the first
time.
• “Dear Miss Breed,” produced
by the Japanese American
National Museum.
Clara Estelle Breed was the
children’s librarian at the San

how the commitment of a single
person can profoundly touch the
lives of so many people. Miss
Breed was fond of all children,
including the many Japanese
American children and teenagers
who frequented the East San Diego
Branch Library.
• “Gila River and Mama: The
Ruth Mix Story,” directed by
Claire Mix and Charles Class.
In the fall of 1942, 15-year-old
Mix began volunteering on week-
ends as a nurse’s aide at Butte
Camp Hospital at Gila River con-
centration camp in Arizona. This is
her story and the story of the people

Properties deemed public nuisance
A home on Engle Road and El Camino Real
was deemed a public nuisance after raw
sewage bubbling up under the structure and in
the yard prompted the tenant to complain to
San Mateo code enforcement officers.
When a code enforcement officer came to
inspect the home in November, however, he
found numerous other violations on the prop-
erty related to plumbing, electrical work and
gas lines all done without proper permits.
The San Mateo Community Improvement
Commission ordered the property owner
Wednesday night to clean up the mess on the
Engle Road site and adjacent home on East
Santa Inez Avenue and El Camino Real owned
by Tony Gundogdu and his wife.
Code enforcement found that critical elec-
trical and gas line work done on the Engle
Road property was done so without the prop-
er permits.
Gundogdu pledged to clean up both proper-
ties by April 13 or face fines. Wednesday’s
appeal hearing cost Gundogdu $2,000 and he
could be forced to pay the city an additional
$5,000 if work on the property goes beyond
April 13. The Gundogdus face a $100 a day
fine after April 13 if the work is not complete,
according to a staff report.
Educators: Let the people vote
Flanked by children with signs urging sup-
port of schools, state Superintendent Tom
Torlakson announced Tuesday as a sad day for
California education.
“The California dream … of a better life is
founded on education,” he said while at a
press conference held at Portola Elementary
School in San Bruno.
March 15 is a sad day for education, he
added, noting thousands of teachers were
given preliminary pink slips. Throughout the
state yesterday, an estimated 19,000 teachers,
about 2,800 in the greater Bay Area, received
preliminary pink slips, said California
Teachers Association President David
Sanchez. That number is estimated to surpass
20,000 as tallies from districts are gathered.
“The cuts must end and so must the budget
stalemate,” said Sanchez.
That doesn’t include support staff which
will most likely get layoff notices in April and
May. Torlakson promised the financial situa-

Accomplice imprisoned
in fatal drug robbery
The South San Francisco man who set up
his friend in a drug robbery turned fatal was
sentenced Wednesday to 25 years to life in
prison as part of a plea deal with prosecutors
that required him to testify against the actual
shooter.
Neil Prakash Chand, 21, escaped trial for
murder and a possible life without parole term
by pleading no contest and agreeing to testify
against Jimmy Nabong. Nabong was convict-
ed last month of first-degree murder, robbery
and a special allegation making him eligible
for life without parole or 50 years to life in
prison.
Chand took his deal in late January but sen-
tencing was delayed until after Nabong’s trial
to ensure the man testified truthfully about the
events leading to the Oct. 29, 2008 death of
his friend, Reddy. Reddy, 21, thought Chand
was helping him set up the sale of $3,000
worth of marijuana.

Hearing set for accused wife killer
A Woodside man accused of staging his
wife’s fatal shooting as a suicide to collect a
hefty insurance payout will learn in June if he’ll
stand trial for her murder nearly a year ago.
Pooroushasb Parineh,
known as Peter, was arrest-
ed in June for the death of
his wife, Parima, but a pre-
liminary hearing on the evi-
dence has been stalled sev-
eral times by his efforts to
hire attorneys and the volu-
minous amount of financial
records for both sides to
Pooroushasb evaluate.
Parineh Parineh is now set for the
hearing June 1 and prose-
cutors estimate it will take one day.
Parineh is charged with murder for financial
gain, a combination that makes him eligible for
the death penalty or life without parole if con-
victed.
Parima Parineh, 56, was killed from several
shots in her bedroom April 13. Her husband
called to report finding her in a bedroom of their
multi-million dollar home on Fox Hill Road in
Woodside. He told authorities she had killed
herself but was himself arrested for the crime
June 17. The case has dragged since that point
as the debt-saddled Parineh worked to retain a
private attorney and lawyers on both sides work
through voluminous evidence, including reams
of financial documents.
Within days of Parima Parineh’s death,
authorities say they questioned his suicide story
because of the multiple shots she sustained and
substantial debt including the home being in
foreclosure and life insurance policies rumored
to be $20 million. The insurance policy’s sui-
cide exclusion period had passed, making
Parineh eligible for a payout if his wife was
found to have indeed killed herself.
Authorities arrested Parineh June 17 in
Sunnyvale and he is being held without bail.

One of three men accused in the carjacking

Where do your electronics go?
By Sophie Schouboe
H
ave you ever thought about
what happens to your elec-
tronic devices once you’re
done with them? Chances are, you
know that simply throwing them in the
trash is not the way to go, so you take
them to be recycled. But where do they
go after that? Recycling electronic
waste is more complex than normal
recycling because electronics like com-
puters contain toxic chemicals such as
lead and mercury that are dangerous to
humans. It is important that the waste
be disposed of properly, in a way that
protects the environment from the toxic
chemicals. Chances are you’ve seen
advertisements for free e-waste drives,
but unfortunately some of the organiza-
tions running these drives do not follow
this delicate process. Rather, the e-
waste is shipped off to a developing
country and the products are taken
apart for the valuable metals they con-
tain, after which all the scraps are
burned. The cities that receive these
piles of waste get everything that comes
along with them: massive amounts of
air pollution, unsanitary drinking water,
lead poisoning and cancer. As electron-
ic consumerism increases, so does the
severity of these peoples’ living condi-
tions.
So why does this concern you?
Because the United States is one of the
largest contributors to these piles and
because, chances are, you have elec-
tronic devices in your own home that
Letters to the editor
Rush to judgment
Editor,
Believe it or not, Rush Limbaugh, the
spiritual adviser and hate administrator
for so many Republicans, has once
again managed to outdo himself. I, for
one, didn’t believe he could stoop any
lower until he went into a laughing rant
on his television-monitored talk show
about the earthquake and tsunami vic-
tims in Japan. He thought it was outra-
geously funny that the “inventors” of
Prius, the well-organized manufacturers
of everything and devout environmen-
talists were overcome by the forces of
nature, which he referred to as Gaia.
How ironic, how hilarious and how
amusing. As if that wasn’t enough, he
went on to ridicule the homeless, starv-
ing, destitute Japanese tsunami victims
for continuing to recycle, in the midst
of their crisis.
This raises an important question:
who in his right mind listens to this
moron? Anyone? Oh, of course, no one
in his right mind does.

did end up there. I
myself use electron-
ics every day; I
wake up, listen to
my iPod, go to
school and work on
the computer, come home, text my
friends on my cell phone, watch televi-

think about where these electronics
came from, what is in them or where
they end up when I’m done with them.
I see my friends go through cell phone
after cell phone, always wanting the
new version of this or that, but I never
thought, “What happens to their old
ones?” And that is precisely the reason
that this atrocity is allowed to persist —
we don’t think about what happens. It’s
not as though people intentionally
donate their old electronics to organiza-
tions that dispose of them improperly.
We want to do the right thing; it is not
our fault we didn’t know — right? That
is why it is important to question
things, to think a little further beyond
the need to get rid of some old junk. If
we are going to use electronics in the
quantity we do now, it is important we
take responsibility for what happens to
them and make sure our “new toys”
don’t end up being the source of others’
suffering.
So now the question is, “What do
you do about it?” It’s fairly simple,
actually. Make sure that whatever
Waste of redevelopment money
Editor,
Recently, the governor has called
for discontinuing the Redevelopment
Agency programs that have diverted
tax revenue for various local projects.
While some have been useful, you can
see a local abuse of the
Redevelopment money by going to
Belmont. The “Grand Opening” of the
Emmett House takes place 3 p.m.
Saturday, 1000 O’Neill St.
In total, the purchase and renovation
of the building cost about $2 million.
A significant portion of the money
came from the city’s Redevelopment
Agency. This project, spearheaded by
self-proclaimed Belmont historian
Denny Lawhern, was a waste of tax-
payer money. Every attempt to have
the building certified as historically
significant by reputable agencies has
been rejected because of the extensive
renovations made through the last 100
years and the lack of documentation
about its original appearance.
Relocated to its current site, it has
again been extensively modified; now

Sidewalks on Ralston Avenue are

Lies and damn lies
I
have found that lies are the mother’s milk of partisan
politics. For example, the creation of the word and
multi-million dollar campaigns to foster the nickname
of “Obamacare” for the Affordable Health Care Act was to
give the impression that it grants the federal government the
right to, actually, intrude into the medical care procedures of
health care professionals and
hospitals.
As far as I have been able to
determine, since ours is the
only major country in the world
that does not have universal
coverage for all of its legal resi-
dents and relies upon “for-prof-
it” institutions to operate the
financial administration our
health-care system, it is incum-
bent upon a humane nation to
see to it that the tens of mil-
lions excluded from participa-
tion by insurance company reg-
ulations get covered.
The insurance companies still
control who and what they will cover and if there are “death
panels” in this land, they are within the insurance institutions,
themselves, when they deny coverage. In no way is
Obamacare within a country mile of a universal, single payer,
government paid system.
But, what the hell? What difference does the truth make?
Makes good fodder to e-mail around to keep anger and hate
alive. The people who carry on such lies will never stop as
long as the insurance lobbies and wealthy conservatives
throw millions into the pot to fight needing to cover every-
one.
But, in a short time, it’s likely the whole debate will be
moot, as polls are showing that, as citizens are finding more
about the truth in the act, a majority now oppose the repeal
and a number are arguing that is doesn’t go far enough.
***
We now know for sure that the financial support for
Republican gubernatorial races in 2010 probably has been the
greatest in modern history, especially by the multibillionaire
Koch brothers. The purpose has become indisputable. Take
office and kill off or severely cripple public service unions.
The justification is these states are broke.
Bull pucky! None of these states are broke. They only
appear broke because the Republican Party policy, nationally,
is to universally freeze tax income. If anything, if the revenue
these states raise is not sufficient to meet budget it is because
of that policy. Truth is, in Wisconsin, alone, my old boss
Herb Kohler of Kohler Industries is a billionaire, as well as
the Johnson family of Johnson’s Wax. And there are other bil-
lion dollar industries that could cover the projected deficits by
writing tax payment checks that would hardly impact their
multibillion-dollar annual profits.
What is their incentive for such lies? Listen to Wisconsin
State Senate Majority Leader Republican Scott Fitzgerald,
one of Walker’s closest allies in the Legislature, admitting to
FOX News: “If we win this battle, and the money is not there
under the auspices of the unions, certainly what you’re going
to find is President Obama is going to have a much more dif-
ficult time getting elected and winning the state of
Wisconsin.”
Bingo!
***
And if we are nationally broke, why?
Try, budget-busting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Tax cuts
for the rich. A major recession brought on by financial insti-
tutions deregulation and failure to enforce those we had. The
collapse of the housing bubble, all of which took place on the
Republican Party watch.
But all is not lost. We can become unbroken very quickly.
Cancel subsidies for the fossil fuels industry and how about
those obsolete for small farmers that are now going to big
agriculture? Bring the damn wars to an end. Cancel those tax
cuts for the rich who have been doing nothing to expand
American-based employment and sending our jobs overseas.
They couldn’t care less about the rest of us.
***
The most self-destructive lie of all was when the national
Republicans campaigned the promise in 2010 that it can cut
$100 billion out of the federal budget, immediately. They
knew they were lying and began backing away as soon as
victorious in the House. But as I wrote several times before,
they underestimated the power of the militant Tea Partiers.
Their only hope for cuts has been at the cost of the most
vulnerable, such as the poor, funding of family planning, chil-
dren and other social programs and they just have found that
their chest beating about these programs for so many years
doesn’t amount to a hill of beans within the vast scope of
government services.
Now they’re having their butts kicked, especially House
Majority Leader Eric Cantor, who is in big trouble with the
Tea Party in his home state of Virginia.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of guys.

Business briefs
Cisco announces first dividend
NEW YORK — Cisco Systems Inc., the world’s largest
maker of computer networking gear, on Friday said its first-
ever cash dividend will amount to 6 cents per share and will
be paid on April 20.
The company has said since last year that it would start
paying a dividend equating to an annual yield of 1 percent
to 2 percent, but had not specified the amount or precise
timing.
The dividend amounts to an annual yield of 1.4 percent at
Thursday’s closing price of $17. The shares hit a 52-week
low of $16.97 in Thursday trading.
On Friday, the shares were up 14 cents to close at $17.14.
The dividend will be paid to shareholders of record as of
March 31.
Technology companies like to hold on to their cash,
investing it in their own growth rather than paying divi-
dends. But several of them have started paying small divi-
dends as they find their business maturing. Microsoft Corp.
introduced a dividend in 2003 and now carries a 2.6 percent
annual yield. Hewlett-Packard Co., which competes with
Cisco in many fields, has a yield of 0.8 percent.
Goldman will pay
Berkshire $5.65B to redeem shares
OMAHA, Neb. — The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said
Friday it has received regulators’ permission to spend $5.65
billion to repurchase Berkshire Hathaway’s preferred
shares in the banking giant.
Goldman said the Federal Reserve has approved its plan
to repay Warren Buffett’s company for the $5 billion invest-
ment it made at the height of the financial crisis in the fall
of 2008.
Goldman was eager to repay Berkshire because it had
been paying 10 percent interest on the preferred shares,
which translated into an annual expense of $500 million.
“Berkshire Hathaway’s 2008 investment in Goldman
Sachs was a major vote of confidence in our firm and we
are very appreciative of it,” Goldman spokesman Stephen
Cohen said.
BUSINESS
Stocks pull higher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks ended a rough
week with slight gains Friday after
Libyan government forces declared a
cease-fire and a group of the world’s
seven largest countries announced a plan
to bring the yen down from historic
highs.
Financial stocks rose after JPMorgan
and other large banks increased their
dividends. JP Morgan said it was
increasing its dividend to 25 cents a
share from 5 cents. Wells Fargo and U.S.
Bancorp also raised their dividends.
Japan’s currency has soared since an
earthquake struck the country a week
ago and caused devastating tsunami
waves and damage to several nuclear
plants. A stronger yen makes it more dif-
ficult for Japan’s export-driven economy
to recover by making Japanese goods
more expensive overseas.
“This is a bit of a relief rally,” said
Paul Zemsky, head of asset allocation at
ING Investment Management. “The sit-
uation in Japan looks to be stabilizing, or
at least not getting any worse, and it
looks like it may be solvable.”
News early Friday that Libya’s foreign
minister had declared a cease-fire helped
push stocks higher, but opposition forces
said shelling was still occurring after the
Unemployment rises in most metro areas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Unemployment
rose in nearly all of the 372 largest U.S.
cities in January compared to the previ-
ous month, mostly because of seasonal
changes such as the layoff of temporary
retail employees hired for the holidays.
The Labor Department said Friday
that the unemployment rate rose in 351
metro areas, fell in only 16, and was
unchanged in 5. That’s worse than
December, when the rate fell in 207
areas and increased in 122.
Other seasonal trends, such as the lay-
off of construction workers due to winter
weather, also contributed to the wide-
spread increase.
Nationwide, the unemployment rate
dropped to 9 percent in January from 9.4
percent in December. It ticked down to
8.9 percent in February. But the national
data is seasonally adjusted, while the
metro data isn’t, which makes it more
volatile. The metro data also lags the
national report by one month.
Investors cheer dividend increases
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Bank shareholders
got a long-awaited gift from the U.S.
Federal Reserve on Friday when the cen-
tral bank cleared the way for major
lenders to increase their dividends.
It was the last hurdle left on the path to
recovery for banks and signified a return
to health for the industry. Banks were
forced to cut their dividends to preserve
cash after the financial crisis that peaked
in September 2008, when the industry
was propped up by a U.S. government
bailout package totaling $700 billion.

1,279.21. The Nasdaq composite index
gained 7.62, or 0.3 percent, to 2,643.67.
All three stock indexes ended the
week lower after markets were battered
by worries over Japan’s ability to get its
nuclear crisis under control. The Dow
lost 1.5 percent, the S&P 500 1.9 percent
and the Nasdaq 2.6 percent.
Japan is the world’s third-largest econ-
omy after the U.S. and China and buys
10 percent of U.S. exports. Tokyo’s

cent higher after the announcement from
the Group of Seven nations late

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
hopes to
become next
CHICAGO — Florida State had just
knocked off Texas A&M for its first NCAA
tournament win in 13 years, and one thought
crossed Derwin Kitchen’s mind.
Don’t stop now.
“It feels pretty good, but we’re not satisfied
with the win,” Kitchen said. “We want to try
and keep playing as long as possible.”
Kitchen scored 15 points, and the 10th-seed-
ed Seminoles moved on in the tournament for
the first time since 1998 with a 57-50 victory
over the seventh-seeded Aggies in the second
round on Friday.
Bernard James added 10 points and three
blocks, keying a go-ahead run in the second
half, and the Seminoles (22-10) advanced even
though star Chris Singleton struggled in his
return from a broken right foot, finishing with
five points and four fouls.
The nation’s leader in field-goal defense,
they held Texas A&M (24-9) to 31.4-percent
shooting on the way to their first NCAA win
since they beat TCU in the first round in 1998.
The Seminoles had dropped three straight
NCAA games, losing to Wisconsin in overtime
in 2009 and Gonzaga last season.
Now, they can start a different kind of streak.
If they beat Notre Dame on Sunday, they’ll
head to San Antonio for the next round in the
Southwest Regional, with the Final Four in
Houston.
“I’m not trying to stay right here and have
this be my glory part of the year,” Singleton
said. “I’m trying to get past Notre Dame and
trying to go all the way, as far as we can.”
Khris Middleton scored 16 for Texas A&M
— 11 in the first half. Nathan Walkup added
11, David Loubeau scored 10, but a team that
was hoping to two-step its way to tournament
games in Texas can forget about that.
“I think we weren’t being aggressive, got
caught up in the moment, too excited and rush-
ing every shot,” Loubeau said.
So a season in which they exceeded expecta-
tions and reached their sixth straight NCAA
tournament screeched to a halt.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Rubby De La Rosa
looks ready for the big leagues.
The Dodgers’ minor league player of the year
last season, De La Rosa threw four hitless
innings Friday in his second spring start to help
Los Angeles beat the San Francisco Giants 6-3.
De La Rosa walked three and struck out two.
Since allowing two runs in his first spring out-

Carlos Quentin had four hits, including a

three runs, and Gordon Beckham had three
hits, three RBIs and scored four runs. Tyler

cushion.

“It’s an amazing accomplishment we were

league, a good league, won a lot of close
games, executed, showed a lot of toughness.
One of our keys today was little things leading

which James scored eight straight.

While De La Rosa has a
promising future, Giants
starter Jeff Suppan is trying
to extend his major league
career by winning a job in
the bullpen.
Suppan, competing for
the long relief role, allowed
two runs and seven hits over
Jeff Suppan four innings with two
strikeouts. The 36-year-old
right-hander has allowed 10 runs over his last
eight innings covering three appearances.
“Sometimes you make your pitch and it gets
hit. That’s baseball,” Suppan said. “I feel like if
of a sudden they say, ’Save it for the season.”’
The White Sox jumped out to a 3-1 lead in
the first on two-out RBI singles by Konerko,
Quentin and Alexei Ramirez. A three-run
homer by Beckham in the second extended it
to 6-1.
John Danks pitched six solid innings for
Chicago, yielding four hits and a run while
striking out four. But the most important sta-
tistic was the number in the walk column:
zero.
“This is the biggest step toward being ready,
results-wise,” he said. “I threw all four pitch-
es for strikes.”
The left-hander had walked eight batters
through his first 10 1-3 innings in Cactus
League play.
“Hopefully, the pitching we’ve been throw-

of posting up strong. I didn’t think he was

guys, just to be a lot more aggressive inside.”

as he picked off Ramirez at first base for the
third out. Cramer said it wasn’t anything seri-
ous, but the injury still took its toll.
“I felt like I had a chance on every pitch in

when he replaced Okaro White after the fresh-
man hit two free throws that momentarily put
Florida State back on top 14-12. About 2 1/2
minutes later, Singleton hit his first shot — a
mid-range jumper.
Otherwise, it was a quiet start for the
Seminoles star.
The jumper was his lone basket of the half
and he quickly picked up three fouls in his first
appearance since he was injured against
Virginia on Feb. 12. He had surgery two days
later, and the Seminoles split the six games in
his absence leading up to the NCAA tourna-
ment.
Now, they’re moving on.

Sergio in the hunt at Tampa at shooting a 66
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PALM HARBOR, Fla. — Sergio Garcia is
not thinking about winning, which is becom-
ing tougher to do with each bogey-free round
at the Transitions Championship.
Garrett Willis and Chris Couch were tied
for the lead when another gorgeous day at
Innisbrook ended. Willis had a 4-under 67 in
the still of the morning to put his name atop
the leaderboard for the second straight year
— this time on a Friday, not a Thursday.
Couch had a 64 in the afternoon as the breeze
began to stir, making a par from the trees on
the 18th to tie for the lead.
Even so, it was tough to ignore the name
one stroke behind them.
Garcia is among the most talented players
in golf, although his enthusiasm waned so
much last year that he decided to take a 10-
week break from competition. This is his
first time playing in America in seven
months.
Passion no longer seems to be an issue.
The 31-year-old Spaniard looked moder-
ately disgusted when birdie putts turned
away. He produced a fist pump normally
saved for a Sunday when he holed a chip for
birdie from behind the 13th green.

past anybody — not with the history they
made against Harvard in 1998. That year,
Stanford earned a top seed and lost to the 16th-
seeded Crimson, becoming the only team ever
in the men’s or women’s tournament to lose to
the lowest seed.
It still comes up on occasion.
This Stanford team won’t stand for just get-
ting back to the Final Four again. After losing
in the championship game in 2008 and again
last year, winning the program’s first title since
1992 is what these players care most about.
Stanford — 36-2 last season with those lone
losses coming at the hands of the Huskies —
fell 53-47 to Connecticut in the 2010 NCAA
title game after leading 20-12 at halftime.
UConn won its 78th straight game to complete

opponents with blinding speed as he is forcing
them to submit once the fight hits the floor.
Beyond his crowd-pleasing fighting style,
Jones has a crowd-pleasing personality.
He has more than 53,000 followers on
Twitter, where he often posts inspirational
messages. He helps raise money for charities
trying to combat cancer, which claimed the
life of his older sister in 2000. And he remains
so grounded — despite a fanbase that includes
rapper 50 Cent — that he rarely speaks above
a whisper and is terrified of being portrayed in
a negative light.

his round of 66 was when
he felt something on the
back of his cap as he
walked off the 14th tee
early in his round. Turns
out it was a bee that stung
him on his middle finger,
although he got the
stinger out and all was
Sergio Garcia well.
A par save on the final
hole felt even better.
“Just keep trying to do the right things and
see what we finish,” he said. “I’m not wor-
ried about winning. I just want to keep build-
ing confidence into my head, and these
rounds obviously help. If we go out there
tomorrow and shoot another round, beauti-
ful. If not, that’s fine. I’ve just got to make
sure that I keep building up.”
Willis and Couch were at 9-under 133, one
shot clear of Garcia and Webb Simpson, who
had a 67 in the afternoon. Paul Casey, who
led after the first round, had to settle for a 71
and was two shots behind along with Justin
Rose (65) and Gary Woodland (68).
Innisbrook is one of the toughest tracks in
Florida, although it was vulnerable in such
ideal weather. It’s not so much the number of
players who produced low scores, rather the
Then, Stanford beat UConn 71-59 this past
Dec. 30 to end the Huskies’ record 90-game
winning streak.
“I think last year’s team had a great shot at
winning a national championship,” coach Tara
VanDerveer said. “A lot of it is you don’t
always win with your best team. Sometimes
you’re not always going to have it all in place.
I hope this particular team has the intangibles.
I think our chances of winning it all are
dependent on how aggressive we are.”
Like the host Cardinal, Texas Tech has its
own monumental win this season: a 56-45
upset of then-No. 1 Baylor on Feb. 19. That
victory certainly helped the Lady Raiders (22-
10), who lost in the quarterfinals of the Big 12
tournament, earn an at-large bid to return to the
NCAA tournament for the first time since
2005.
They will play in Saturday’s first game
against ninth-seeded St. John’s, which lost to
DePaul in the Big East tournament quarterfi-
nals. The Red Storm (21-10) are in the tourna-
the wayside,” Jones said during a news con-
ference at Radio City Music Hall. “I guess
awareness is key, knowledge is power. I’m a
pretty smart guy. I know the warning signs
when you can be sidetracked.”
He also knows when to take advantage of an
opportunity.
Jones was added to the card in February as
a late replacement for Rashad Evans, who
hurt his knee during training. Jones jumped at
the chance to face a veteran in Rua who is
coming off a knockout of Lyoto Machida that
earned him the light heavyweight title last
year.
“I was a champion back when I was 23 in
Pride,” Rua said of his days in Japan. “So if
you compare our careers in that sense, you
can see some similarities.
“Jon Jones is a great fighter,” the Brazilian
added through a translator. “He is a more
high scores that were absent.
As a result, the cut of 1-under 141 was the
lowest in tournament history. Going into the
weekend, only eight shots separate first from
worst, a rarity on the PGA Tour.
Willis is making his own kind of progress.
A year ago, Willis opened with a 65 to take
the first-round lead, then followed that with a
77 and missed the 54-hole cut. He followed
his opening 66 with a solid 67 Friday to fin-
ish his round atop the leaderboard.
“It’s a lot cooler to lead after the second
round than it is the first round,” Willis said.
Willis lives about 30 minutes away, and the
biggest surprise was not seeing his name on
the leaderboard, but not seeing the trees
sway.
“To have two days like this — this calm —
is crazy,” Willis said. “I think we’re in for a
pretty windy weekend, because there’s no
way it’s going to continue.”
Couch has missed the better part of two
years with a shoulder injury, and he wears
bracelets to help with his blood flow — a
couple on each side, figuring he needs all the
help he can get with his bad health.
The game rarely looked better.
Couch shot a 29 on the back nine of the
Copperhead course, and even his shot into
the trees left of the 18th fairway was not a
ment for a second straight season and no
strangers to tough venues like Maples after
falling 66-65 in overtime in the second round
last March to Florida State on its home floor —
though the arena will be much more hostile if
St. John’s advances to face favored Stanford in
Monday night’s second round. The program is
making consecutive NCAA appearances for
the first time since 1983 and ’84.
Texas Tech coach Kristy Curry calls it the
“most intriguing 8-9 matchup in the country”
between similar teams. And St. John’s coach
Kim Barnes Arico doesn’t need any convinc-
ing.
“The way I feel about our team and how
good we are and how I feel about their team
and how good they are, and watching them
beat Baylor, I’m sure they would say they’re in
the best league in the country as we would say
we’re in the best league in the country,” Barnes
Arico said. “To have two great teams that had
great years from two of the top leagues in the
country, and to have to play each other in the
exciting fighter that looks for finishes, that
brings a hard fight, and that’s the kind of fight
that everyone likes. So I’m excited.”
It seems a lot of people are excited.
A sellout crowd is expected at the
Prudential Center for UFC 128, which
includes the first fight for bantamweight
Urijah Faber under the UFC banner.
Faber became a star fighting for World
Extreme Cagefighting, which was purchased
by the UFC a couple years ago and later
merged with the sport’s iconic brand. The
fighters under contract were transferred to the
UFC, and Faber will make his debut against
Eddie Wineland.
“I wanted to fight a long time in the UFC.
It’s been a long road for me, seven years into
my MMA career,” Faber said. “Just excited to
have the chance and seize it and have some
fun.”

problem. In fact, he hit out of the trees to
about 10 feet and had to settle for par.
“I feel like I’m good enough to win,” he
said.
Along with being tied for the lead, he was
equally thrilled that he plays Saturday with
Willis, a close friend and frequent practice
partner. They practiced together earlier this
week, but this time there will be a little more
at stake.
Even so, the field is as bunched as ever.
Brandt Snedeker, in his first tournament
since becoming a father, had a 64 to lead a
group at 6-under 136 that included 17-year-
old Matteo Manassero, two-time PGA Tour
winner Mark Wilson and Peter Hanson, who
had a peculiar day with the putter.
Another shot back was a group that includ-
ed a trio of U.S. Open champions — Geoff
Ogilvy, Lucas Glover and defending champi-
on Jim Furyk — while U.S. Amateur cham-
pion Peter Uihlein made 14 pars in his round
of 69 and was at 3-under 139.
Uihlein holed out a 40-yard bunker shot on
No. 5 for eagle, then holed out from the fair-
way for eagle on No. 7. He had two bogeys
coming in, but easily made the cut in his sec-
ond PGA Tour start.
Hanson would not have thought a 67 was
in the cards today.
first round for a chance to play Stanford at
Stanford in the second round, it’s unbelievable.
It’s got to be one of the toughest first-round
matchups and it’s probably going to be a great
game.”
Stanford senior stars Jeanette Pohlen, the
Pac-10 Player of the Year, and Kayla Pedersen
are trying to wrap up a perfect record at home
for their careers. Stanford hasn’t lost in Maples
since a second-round NCAA defeat to Florida
State in March 2007 — and redshirt senior
Melanie Murphy is the only one on the roster
who was part of it.
“I still have a tough time wrapping my head
around it. If you see the teams that come into
Maples, everyone competes,” said Pac-10
Freshman of the Year Chiney Ogwumike. “It’s
an incredible feat. Hopefully if we work hard,
we’ll be able to do something special in the
history of Stanford. Those players have taught
us a legacy, and that’s a legacy not to lose at
Maples. Hopefully we’ll hold onto that for a
while.”
Also fighting on the main card are light-
weight contender Jim Miller, veteran mid-
dleweight contender Nate Marquardt, and
Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic, who like Rua
became a decorated fighter in Japan before
moving to the UFC several years ago.
The card is especially deep as the UFC
returns to New Jersey, just across the Hudson
River from Manhattan, where mixed martial
arts has yet to be approved by the New York
legislature.
White hopes another sellout crowd a short
drive from New York — and perhaps a future
star like Jones who grew up in the state —
might finally be the tipping point.
“At the end of the day, do we have to be in
New York? Do we have to be here?” White
said. “At the end of the day, there are so many
places we can do fights, but we should be in
New York. We should be here.”

shown that he can do it, scoring 11 goals in
2009 to lead the team, but he only scored once
in 2010 (he did have eight assists, a career
high).
In the midfield, the MLS Comeback Player
of the Year Bobby Convey is still the heart and
soul. Convey led the team in assists in 2010
(10) and will most likely see most of his time
spent on the left wing. He’ll be aided by Khari
Stephenson, who returns to the Earthquakes in
2011 after making 11 appearances last season.
A healthy Stephenson might be the key for
SPORTS
San Jose — he possesses great creativity and
control. Joey Gjertsen and Sam Cronin will
see significant minutes in the midfield as well,
with newly acquired Simon Dawkins (on loan
from Tottenham) looming around the corner.
Those who follow the Earthquakes are also
very excited about Anthony Ampaipitakwong,
San Jose’s 2010 second round draft pick.
The Earthquakes’defense is as solid as they
come, some say even championship quality.
San Jose only allowed 33 goals in 2010, 14 at
home, good for sixth in the league. Most
importantly, they accomplished that with a
couple of key cogs going down with injury
and missing significant time — those compo-
nents are back in 2011.
Ike Opara was having a quality rookie cam-
paign when he went down with a broken foot.
Now fully recovered, he and Jason
Hernandez, are solid in the middle of the San
Jose defense. Opara has been known to be
efficient when he comes up to try and score
too — something San Jose will surely need.
On the wings, the Earthquakes are hoping
their captain, Ramiro Corrales, can put togeth-
er a full and healthy season. When Corrales is
on the field,he makes things look effortless.
The other flank will most likely be manned by
Tim Ward, who filled in when Corrales went
down with injury last season and improved
with every match.
Chris Leitch, Bobby Burling and Brandon
McDonald add depth to the backline (with
McDonald capable of playing some midfield
THE DAILY JOURNAL
as well).
In goal, the Earthquakes will be without Joe
Cannon, a fan favorite and team leader when
he donned the keeper gloves for San Jose. In
his place will be last season’s mid-season
acquisition and at times savior, Jon Busch,
who went 7-6-5 with a 1.06 goals against
average. Busch proved that he is more than
capable of being a No. 1 goaltender, but he is
34 years old. If he were to go down, the
responsibility will fall in the hands of Andrew
Webber, who’s played in two games during
his MLS career. Webber might not be holding
the No. 2 spot for very long — battling him
right now for it is David Bingham, the former
Cal Bear who San Jose acquired in an off-sea-
son lottery.

With aid slow,Japanese fend for themselves By Kristen Gelineau
and Foster Klug
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KARAKUWA, Japan — There
may be no water, no power and no
cell phone reception in this tsunami-
struck town, but in the school that
serves as a shelter, there are sizzling
pans of fat, pink shrimp.
Relief supplies have only trickled
into the long strip of northeast Japan
demolished by a powerful earth-
quake and the wave it unleashed a
week ago, leaving affected commu-
nities to fend for themselves.
Many have risen to the occasion.
No water for the toilets? No prob-
lem. Students in Karakuwa bring
REUTERS buckets of water from the school
An elderly man sits on a chair among rubble in Kesennuma City,Japan. swimming pool to give survivors
the dignity of a proper flush. In the
kitchen, a giant rice cooker given to
the school by a resident sits on a
table, steam rising from the heaping
mounds of rice inside.
“For a long time, in the country-
side, even if you didn’t have enough
for yourself, you shared with oth-
ers,” said Noriko Sasaki, 63, as she
sat on the ground outside another
relief center in the town. “That is
our culture. Even if they’re not rela-
tives, we feel as if they’re sisters or
brothers.”
There are hardships — a junior
high hardly offers the comforts of
home — and while the sense of
community runs all along the coast,
not all survivors are as well off.
Blustery snow, fuel shortages and
widespread damage to airports,
roads and rails have hampered
delivery of badly needed assistance
to more than 450,000 homeless try-
ing to stay fed and warm, often
without electricity and running
water in shelters cobbled together in
schools and other public buildings.
More than 6,900 people are con-
firmed dead so far and another
10,700 are missing. The disaster
also damaged a seaside nuclear
power plant, which remains in crisis
as workers struggle under danger-
ous conditions to prevent a melt-
down and major radiation leaks.
In the flattened hamlet of
Shizugawa, Koji Sato, a carpenter
who usually builds homes, is mak-
ing coffins.
He said he hasn’t had time to real-
ly think about the hardship he’s
faced. “All I have been doing is
making coffins.”

Experts against burying reactors Analysts predict iPad 2

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Why not just bury them?
The idea of smothering and sealing
Japan’s overheated nuclear reactors
in sand or concrete to stop the crisis
is appealing. But experts say that it’s
too early for something that desper-
ate and that it could be a big mistake
that could make matters worse.
Most urge continuing the current
efforts to cool the radioactive materi-
al, and at least one suggested massive
spraying to hold down radioactive
dust.
Fires, explosions or partial melt-
downs have struck four of the six
reactor units at the Fukushima Dai-
ichi power plant. There are few
options for stopping the dangerous
overheating of nuclear materials
there. Military fire trucks sprayed
tons of water Friday, and workers
hope to restart cooling systems once
a new power line is installed.
Reporters in Japan raised the
notion Friday of sealing the reactors
and fuel rods in concrete as an emer-
gency measure. But officials with
Japan’s nuclear safety agency and the
plant’s operator did not embrace the
idea.
“We believe it is not a realistic
option,” said Hidehiko Nishiyama of
the Nuclear and Industrial Safety
Agency. And Teruaki Kobayashi, a
manager at the Tokyo Electric Power
Co., said the utility would not rule
out entombing the reactors but thinks
the probability is low.
It’s true that concrete tombs may
someday stand at the troubled
nuclear complex, one expert said, but
only as a long-term strategy once the
radiation has cooled.
The entombment idea has been
touted on American television by
Michio Kaku, a physics professor at
the City College of New York and a
television host on the Science
Channel.
shortages after quake
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Market research
group IHS iSuppli said Friday that
last week’s earthquake in Japan
could cause shortages of Apple
Inc.’s iPad 2 tablet computer.
The iSuppli analysts, who regu-
larly do “teardown” analyses to
determine what components are
used inside consumer electronics,
said they have identified at least five
parts that come from Japan: storage
and memory from Toshiba Corp.
and Elpida Memory Inc., an elec-
tronic compass from AKM
Semiconductor, touch-screen over-
lay glass that is likely from Asahi
Glass Co. and a battery from Apple
Japan Inc.
ISuppli said some of these suppli-
ers have said their facilities were not
damaged by the earthquake or
tsunami. However, they will likely
be affected in some way by the
resulting logistical problems in
Japan, including intermittent elec-
tricity and hurdles to transporting
raw materials and shipping out
products, iSuppli said.

Automakers feeling effects of crisis

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — A week after the disaster in
Japan erupted, its impact on automakers around
the world is worsening.
Most of Japan’s auto industry is shut down.
Factories from Louisiana to Thailand are low
on Japanese-made parts. Idled plants are cost-
ing companies hundreds of millions of dollars.
And U.S. car dealers may not get the cars they
order this spring.
If parts factories in Japan stay closed for sev-
eral more weeks, dealers and manufacturers
will feel deepening effects: fewer cars, dimin-
ished revenue and frustrated customers.
Analysts say it’s too early to calculate the
cost to the overall industry. But Goldman Sachs
estimates the shutdowns are costing Japanese
automakers more than $150 million a day.
Even if Japanese auto plants manage to
restart in the next few weeks and make up lost
production, threats will remain. Hundreds of
car part suppliers were near the epicenter of the
earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan.
How fast they can feed parts to car plants is
unclear. Even after plants restart, the threat of
rolling electricity blackouts — caused by
Japan’s crippled nuclear reactors — could ham-
per production for months.

Parenting:
By the book
By Jeremy Venook
P
arenting seems to be in the news
everywhere you look lately. First
came the hubbub about Amy Chua’s
controversial book on Chinese-style hyper-
parenting, “The Battle Hymn of the Tiger
Mother,” bringing with it endless debates
about whether her
method was demeaning
to her children — along
with questions as to what
exactly it was she was
advocating.
Just as that debate
began to simmer down, I
opened a newspaper to
see an article in which a
writer castigated a breed of hyper-parents not
mentioned in the Tiger mom debates: The
“helicopter parents” who seem to live vicari-
ously through their children, who hang on to
them and aid and over-schedule them in a
quest to get them as perfectly prepared as
possible, striving for the best schools from an
absurdly young age.
It’s no surprise that this topic draws so
much attention and captivates readers for so
long once it hits the headlines. Parenting is
an immensely important and, on many levels,
immensely personal subject for, well, every-
body who is, was or plans to be a parent.
Because of the nature of the task, there is a
constant search for advice and opinions on
the topic, and it’s only natural for some to
take umbrage when somebody suggests that
you might be doing it wrong.
Many of the articles I have read seem to
center on a single repeating theme: the author
identifies a somewhat generalized problem
with kids these days, then make a broad
statement about what parents should and
shouldn’t be doing. One might argue that
kids these days are overstressed and over-
scheduled, and parents are to blame for put-
ting so much pressure from a young age.

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE ‘UM
By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
For more than 15 years, the Belgian artist
Isabelle de Borchgrave has recreated life-
size historical costumes entirely from paper.
Taking inspiration from rich depictions in
early European paintings, iconic costumes
in museum collections, photographs, sketch-
es and even literary descriptions, de
Borchgrave works paper to achieve the
effect of textiles: crumpling, pleating, braid-
ing, feathering and painting the surface.
With Pulp Fashion: The Art of Isabelle de
Borchgrave, San Francisco’s Legion of
Honor presents 60 of de Borchgrave’s
trompe l’oeil works that draw on several
themes presenting quintessential examples
in the history of costume—from
Renaissance costumes of the Medici family
and gowns worn by Elizabeth I and Marie-
Antoinette to the designs of the grand cou-
turiers Fredrick Worth, Paul Poiret,
Christian Dior and Coco Chanel. Special
attention is given to the creations and studio
of Mariano Fortuny, the eccentric early
20th-century artist, who is both a kindred
spirit and a major source of inspiration to de
Borchgrave. Additionally, five creations
inspired by four paintings in the Legion of
Honor’s European collection are presented
for the first time.
De Borchgrave, a painter by training,
works in collaboration with leading costume
historians and young fashion designers to
create a world of splendor from simplest rag
paper. Painting and manipulating the paper,
she crafts elaborate dresses inspired by the
rich depictions in early European painting or
by the iconic costumes in museum collec-
tions around the world. As de Borchgrave
explains, “Although my inspiration springs
from the period dresses in the great museum
WEEKEND JOURNAL
collections, this is just a wink at history. My
work is a confluence of influences—paper,
painting, sculptor, textiles, costume, illusion
and trompe l’oeil.”
The exhibition is presented in six sections:
• The Artist’s Studio provides insight into
de Borchgrave’s creative process.
• In White showcases a selection of nine
dresses devoid of color.
• Papiers à la Mode features gowns worn
by legendary historical figures Elizabeth I,
Madame de Pompadour, Empress Eugénie
and Marie-Antoinette. Famous designers
Charles Fredrick Worth, Paul Poiret and
Coco Chanel are represented by signature
pieces.
• Fortuny is an immersive environment
created under a feather-light paper tent pop-
ulated by recreations of Fortuny’s famed
pleated and draped gowns.
• The Medici is the artist’s most extrava-
gant series, with elaborate velvets, needle-
work lace, ropes of pearls, and intricate coif-
fures transformed into paper sculpture.
• Inspiration draws on images from four
paintings in the museum’s European paint-
ing collection: Massimo Stanzione, Woman
in Neapolitan Costume, 1635, Konstantin
Makovsky, The Russian Bride’s Attire,
1889, Jacob-Ferdinand Voet, Anna Caffarelli
Minuttiba, 1675, and Anthony van Dyck,
Marie Claire de Cory and Child, 1634.
Fine Arts Museums director John E.
Buchanan Jr., said of the exhibition, “I am
proud to say that this exhibition, so appro-
priately presented in the galleries of our
Legion of Honor museum, is the first to offer
an overview of the artist’s most important
bodies of work: from the white dresses and
Papiers à la Mode to the Fortuny and Medici
collections and her newest creations.”

PAUL
Continued from page 17
Alas, it is not to be. There are chuck-
les, even some deep guffaws, as sci-fi
guys and comic book creators Clive
Gollings and Graeme Wily hook up with
a real alien by the name of, well, you
know.
But in the end — as well as the middle
and maybe even at the outset — “Paul”
is more often a close encounter of the
middling kind.
Seth Rogen provides the wisecracking
voice of the green pint-size alien with
the huge blue eyes. Paul crashed in
America’s desert Southwest in 1947.
Since then, he’s been the guest of a clan-
destine government operation.
One thing is clear from Rogen’s turn:
As Paul schooled his hosts, he also
picked up the kind of crass habits that
require an R rating.
Too often “Paul” — penned by Pegg
and Frost — unfolds like one long string
of inside jokes. Of course, a huge por-
tion of the audience will be in on the
gags. After all, pop culture’s material on
alien-human interaction is vast.
There’s “Star Trek,” “Star Wars,” plen-
ty of nods to Steven Spielberg. That
hardly begins the list. In a winking
moment, a country-western band plays a

Another asserts that kids these days are
coddled and sheltered, and parents need
to loosen the reins and permit them to
have real experiences. Still others claim
that kids these days are oversaturated
with television and video games rather
than good ol’ books and playing outside
with friends. Kids these days have no
discipline, have no fun, have no per-
spective — the list goes on and on.
But despite all of the headlines and
memoirs and shelves full of books
claiming to contain the secret to parent-
ing, I can’t help but notice a single
opinion that is all too often left out of
the debate. I am speaking, of course, of
we children and teenagers, we who are

niques parents have read about in news-
papers and guides written by everybody

On Thursday, the California
Legislature passed portions of Gov. Jerry
Brown’s proposed budget. Education
funding remains in limbo, however, until
a decision to place tax extensions on a
special statewide ballot is made.
Statewide, California community col-
leges face a 6.8 percent, or $400 million
reduction, according to the California
Community Colleges Chancellor’s
Office. That could mean 400,000 stu-
dents would lose access to classes.

the event, said Angela Fang, the race’s
general manager.
Alcohol and floats are banned on the
race course this year in hopes of moving
the race away from the bacchanalian
spectacle it has become and back toward
a family-friendly event with creative
costumes and safe traditions, such as
tossing tortillas, Fang said.
The course will have heavy fencing,
checkpoints and police enforcement of
the alcohol rule, and problem areas such
as the Panhandle and Alamo Square will
be more heavily monitored, she said.
There will also be 1,226 toilets — a
WEEKEND JOURNAL
familiar ditty in a bar full of rough char-
acters.
Wide-eyed and chattering, Clive and
Graeme begin their first jaunt to the U.S.
at the fan-driven confab known as
Comic-Con. France may always have
the rarefied Cannes film festival in May.
But one weekend in July belongs to the
hoardes who descend on San Diego for
the ever-growing annual event.
They come wearing costumes from
their fave sci-fi, comic-book, fantasy
sources. Those who don’t may wear the
look of the gobsmacked, just like
Graeme and Clive.
“Paul” gets this fan-loving energy
right. The blokes’ awe and joy is sweet.
Jeffrey Tambor’s turn as beloved if dys-
peptic sci-fi author Adam Shadowchild
is amusing. And the movie is likely to be
embraced by its base.
It’s a promising enough preamble for
Clive and Graeme’s road trip to the
nation’s extraterrestrial hot spots.
Directed by Greg Mottola, “Paul” loves
its fanboys but can’t quite maneuver its
American folk stereotypes. The guys
share a nice moment with Pat, the tart
owner of a roadside diner that caters to
ET-seeking pilgrims, played by Sue
Sylvester, er Jane Lynch. They also have
a too-telegraphed of a run-in with camo-
sporting hayseeds.
Off a darkened stretch of two-lane
black top, they meet Paul. “They come
in peace and we go to pieces,” quipped
from Ph.D.s to celebrities.
Honestly, in my limited experience,
parenting strikes me as a task far too
complicated and involved to make a
general statement, especially when said
statement is advice meant to be applica-
ble to most or all children. Looking
around at my friends at school, I can’t
imagine how a single approach could
possibly work for everybody. I person-
ally enjoy being what many would con-
sider over-scheduled — I consciously
choose to pursue a collection of hobbies
that has me darting around from activi-
ty to activity. On the other hand, I have
friends who swear by the power of naps
and built-in breaks to keep them on
track. To me, it is this distinction that
strikes me as the most important, not
whether or not a child practices classi-
cal piano for four hours per day or if
they have plenty of time for rest and
relaxation: Does the schedule take into
account the kid’s own abilities and
study habits?
I’m not going to pretend that I can
state funding to be cut about $5.6 mil-
lion and our workload (number of stu-
dents we are funded to serve) cut by 5.2
percent,” said Chief Financial Officer
Kathy Blackwood, who added that
would affect 1,230 full-time equivalent
positions.
If the taxes don’t pass, the local fund-
ing is expected to be cut upwards of
$15.5 million, a workload reduction of
14.3 percent that more than doubles the
number of affected employees. The par-
cel tax passed by voters in November
will help with these cuts, Blackwood
added.
Which courses could be on the chop-
ping block is still unknown. However,
last year programs outside of the aca-
demic core and job training courses —
such as KCSM — faced cuts.
Last year, KCSM-TV faced elimina-
significant increase from other years,
Fang said. Race organizers hope to elim-
inate at least 65 percent to 70 percent of
problems reported in the past.
“There were very difficult days for me
after last year’s race,” she said. “But the
neighborhoods did pull together.”
Beaver said his company had dis-
cussed safety and cleanliness issues, but
was generally not concerned about the
bad publicity that reportedly drove away
insurance giant ING.
Zazzle officials heard through a friend
of the company that the sponsorship was
possible, and within days it had decided
to take advantage of the opportunity,
Beaver said.
The company is offering custom cen-
tennial merchandising and plans to use
social media platforms to expand the
race’s audience, he said.
Clive earlier. Guess who’s not ready for
the role of rescuer?
Paul made a break for it, sensing his
usefulness had come to an end. He’s pur-
sued by Agent Zoil (Jason Bateman).
The determined G-man takes his orders
from an unseen hardcase whose voice
provides yet another pleased-with-itself
nudge. Two feds with lesser skills (Bill
Hader and Joe Lo Truglio) are also on
the case.
The chase is on. A first contact will
lead to deeper bonding. With Mottola at
the helm and featuring Rogen, the movie
comes with the requisite penis, fart and
quasi-enlightened gay jokes.
It’s familiar, not incandescent, come-
dy. Still the film takes its most ambitious
— and tonally complicated — turn when
the trio pull into the Pearly Gates RV
Park, where Moses Buggs (John Carroll
Lynch) and daughter Ruth live a right-
eous Christian life.
Forget encounters of the third kind. As
played by Kristen Wiig, the cowed
daughter of a fiery father is in need of
some human contact, Ruth sports a T-
shirt with the words “Evolve This!” on it
and an image of Jesus facing off with
Charles Darwin.
What would Jesus do, indeed.

hold up myself or anybody I know as a
model for how you should or shouldn’t
raise a child. My argument is exactly
the opposite: There is no single method
of parenting that guarantees some
degree of success or failure in a child. I
realize that there are some great guides
out there, full of useful tips for parents,
but it’s frustrating to see the subject dis-
torted into one-dimensional assertions
by writers who aren’t considering the
nuances. The unique perspectives
afforded by high school clearly demon-
strate that each student has his or her
own needs, and parenting is too big of a
subject to approach with too broad of a
brush.

tion. The college district directed all
ancillary services to be self-funded.
Lawrence began raising funds with an
initial deadline of presenting the $1 mil-
lion plan of late February, which was
extended to mid-March. The plan fell
just shy of the goal.
Reaching $900,000 was focused on
three main options: Offering the public
use of the station’s facilities or air access
for a price, losing a few people and con-
trolling costs.
“We ended in the black,” said
Lawrence.
KCSM broadcasts a variety of pro-
grams including television courses, the
numbers for which have dropped in
recent years in favor of online classes.
Broadcasting, as a program, was on hia-
tus for a couple of years but returned

“We really felt there was brand syner-
gy with Zazzle,” he said. “Bay to

fit for our brand.”
He added that despite the recent con-
troversy over the race’s “more extreme
events,” the company wanted to be there
for the centennial event.
“We wanted to preserve the fun
aspects and make it safe for everybody,”
said Beaver, a Bay Area native who has
participated in the race several times.
The event has been a tradition in his
family since he was a kid.
“(My parents) have their 75th anniver-
sary shirts and windbreakers,” he said.
Bay to Breakers sold out Thursday at
50,000 runners, but organizers are trying
to open up a few thousand more spots,

Funnel cloud and STORM
waterspout twist
around Bay Area
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
California averages about six tornados a year, although most
of those touch down near the Los Angeles Basin or in the
Central Valley, according to a National Weather Service mete-
orologist.
Friday marked a day of unusual weather, however, as the Bay
Area had several brushes with cyclones of various forms,
including a funnel cloud that flattened a shed in Santa Rosa and
a waterspout that twisted over the waters near San Francisco’s
Ocean Beach.
“It’s not completely rare,” meteorologist Chris Stumpf said.
“They do occur occasionally.”
Stumpf said the last time a tornado touched down in the Bay
Area was March 21, 2005, when it struck South San Francisco.
That vortex had wind speeds between 73 and 112 mph, which
were strong enough to lift roofs and awnings off houses and
down power lines.
Although the weather service issued a tornado warning earli-
er today for San Mateo County, the warning expired at 11:30
a.m. with no report of damage.
“The Doppler radar indicated some rotation with the San
Mateo-Half Moon Bay storm,” which prompted this morning’s
pre-emptive measure, Stumpf said.
Farther north, a San Francisco resident in the Outer Sunset
today had a digital camera handy when a funnel of water
extended from the line of gray storm clouds hovering over
Ocean Beach.
In the YouTube video, the waterspout can be seen edging
closer to the shoreline before losing its momentum and dying
out before posing a hazard to coastal homes.
A shed in Sonoma County was not as fortunate. At about 9:45
a.m., a funnel cloud descended on Santa Rosa near 1330 King
St., where the fierce rotating winds tossed debris onto nearby
power lines and properties three houses away.
Cold, unstable air mixed with strong winds helped to form
those twisters, Stumpf said; “It really helped to spin those
things up.”
Storms expected to pass through the Bay Area on Sunday
will bring another chance for thunderstorms, Stumpf said, with
“some really strong winds” and more cold, unstable air.
As for the likelihood of a twister touching down this week-
end? Don’t count on it, Stumpf said. “There could be a brief
spin-up. It won’t be quite as unstable as this one was.”
Small hail accompanying heavy rain could be likely and wind
gusts near 50 mph are also expected to affect “pretty much the
whole Bay Area,” he said.
LOCAL

Central Valley through Sunday and a
winter storm warning through early
Saturday for the Sierra, where as much
as 3 feet of snow was predicted by
Saturday.
Another storm expected to pack a
similar wallop was forecast to hit a
wider swath of the state on Sunday,
with high water levels projected as far
south as San Diego.
Snow was reported as low as 1,200
feet, just 30 miles east of the state cap-
ital, and winds up to 50 mph were
expected through mountain passes.
The Sierra Avalanche Center in
Truckee predicted a considerable dan-
ger of snow slides.
Tree-toppling gusts of 35-45 mph
were forecast throughout the Central
Valley and Sierra foothills, putting
utility crews on alert.
Thunderstorms that moved through
the San Francisco Bay area were
blamed for a small tornado that
downed power lines and tore away a
150-foot section of a tin roof covering
a landscaping business in Santa Rosa,
about 60 miles north of San Francisco.
No injuries were reported.
Meteorologist Steve Anderson said it
was the first time a tornado has
touched down in the area in about a
decade. A tornado warning was issued

According to prosecutors, on Aug. 1,
2008, Tuttle entered the Main Street
Market and, without provocation,
stabbed a clerk in the side with a kitchen
knife before fleeing. The clerk was treat-
ed for a four-inch gash.
Redwood City police tracked Tuttle to
his mother’s South San Francisco home
where they reported finding him in the

weather service had no reports of any
twisters.
The wet weather was expected to
last through next week.
“We’re kind of socked in for an
unsettled wet period,” National
Weather Service meteorologist Eric
Kurth said.
State and federal agencies were
dumping more water from Northern
California reservoirs to make room for
mountain runoff, but officials said no
major rivers were in danger of flood-
ing.
It helped that much of the precipita-
tion was falling in the form of snow,
said California Department of
Resources spokesman Ted Thomas.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation
increased the flow from Lake Shasta
on the northern Sacramento River and
Folsom Lake east of Sacramento. The
state Department of Water Resources
boosted flows from Lake Oroville 70
miles north of the state capital.
As a result, Sacramento River water
was spreading into the Sutter and Yolo
bypasses, low-lying areas north and
west of the state capital that are set
aside to handle excess water and
reduce the danger of flooding.

according to the District Attorney’s
Office.
Before Tuttle could be tried, his attor-
ney questioned his mental state. Getting
him actually committed once found

Tuttle refused to leave his jail cell for the

The high volume of water covered
portions of parks and bicycle trails
through flood plains in Sacramento
and Redding. Sacramento shut flood
gates at Del Paso Boulevard along the
American River for the first time since
2006, requiring drivers to take a
detour.
Isolated mudslides and creek flood-
ing were expected to continue
throughout the state.
The most noticeable effect of the wet
weather in Northern California was
along the coast, where a 150-foot sec-
tion of Highway 1 south of Carmel slid
toward the ocean on Wednesday.
Engineers expected the two-lane
coastal highway leading to scenic Big
Sur to be closed at least a month after
the collapse near Rocky Creek Bridge.
High water south of Sacramento will
send water spilling out of Deer Creek,
where a 70-year-old man was rescued
earlier this week after driving his
Cadillac around barriers and having it
submerged by flood waters.
Rob Hartman, hydrologist in charge
of the National Weather Service’s
California-Nevada River Forecast
Center, said flooding at the mouth of
the Eel River near Fernbridge, along
the northern coast south of Eureka,

the facility but was returned to San
Mateo County for prosecution when
doctors there deemed him mentally fit.
Before he could face trial, Tuttle’s
defense attorney again questioned both
his competence and his sanity in the
2008 attack.
Tuttle returns to court March 22 to
certify his return from the hospital and
set dates for both a pretrial conference
and jury trial.
He remains in custody without bail.

Allies prepare for Libya’s no-fly zone
By Danica Kirka
and Jill Lawless
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Britain and France
took the lead in plans to enforce a
no-fly zone over Libya on Friday,
sending British warplanes to the
Mediterranean and announcing a
crisis summit in Paris with the U.N.
and Arab allies.
France said it was ready for possi-
ble military action, but with Libya
declaring a cease-fire and the United
States keeping quiet about its own
military role, questions remained
about when any action would come
— and what its consequences would
be.
In a joint statement to Moammar
Gadhafi late Friday, the United
States, Britain and France — backed
by unspecified Arab countries —
said a cease-fire must begin “imme-
diately” in Libya, the French presi-
dential palace said.
The statement called on Gadhafi
to end his troops’ advance toward
Benghazi, and pull them out of
Misrata, Adjadbiya and Zawiya, and
called for the restoration of water,

“The U.S. is ready to act, along
with partners from the League of
Arab States and Europe,” she said.
“Gadhafi should be under no illu-
sions that if he doesn’t act immedi-
ately he’ll face swift and sure con-
sequences, including military
action.”
Prime Minister David Cameron,
one of the most enthusiastic backers
of a no-fly zone, said Britain would
send Typhoon and Tornado fighter
jets to air bases “in the coming
hours” so they would be in position
to stop Moammar Gadhafi’s forces
mounting air strikes against rebels
based in the eastern city of
Benghazi.
“The clock is ticking and we must
be ready to act quickly,” Cameron
said, adding that Gadhafi must prove
he was serious about a cease-fire to
avoid military strikes.
The United States has a host of
forces and ships in the region,
including submarines, destroyers,
amphibious assault and landing
ships with some 400 Marines, but
U.S. officials have not said what role
American participation will take.
In that time, China has expanded
its economic footprint in the region
and has surpassed the United States
as Brazil’s top trade partner.
Despite the competing, pressing
demands on the president, the White
House has been determined to pro-
ceed with the trip, emphasizing the
potential of the burgeoning region
for U.S. economic growth.

From rooftops, snipers
kill 46 Yemeni protesters
SANAA, Yemen — A massive
demonstration against Yemen’s gov-
ernment turned into a killing field
Friday as snipers methodically fired
down on protesters from rooftops
and police made a wall of fire with
tires and gasoline, blocking a key
escape route.
At least 46 people died, including
some children, in an attack that
marked a new level of brutality in
President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s
crackdown on dissent. Medical offi-
cials and witnesses said hundreds
were wounded. The dramatic escala-
tion in violence suggested Saleh was
growing more fearful that the
unprecedented street protests over
the past month, set off by unrest
across the Arab world, could unrav-
el his 32-year grip on power in this
volatile, impoverished and gun-satu-
rated nation.
Warm welcome greets
Aristide on return to Haiti
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti —
Former President Jean-Bertrand
Aristide returned home Friday from a
seven-year exile to the warm
embrace of jubilant supporters
despite criticism from the U.S. and
domestic opponents who said his
presence could disrupt the weekend’s
already delayed presidential election.
Aristide emerged from a chartered
flight from South Africa with his
wife and daughters, waved and blew
kisses at a crowd. Speaking to sup-
porters and journalists, he criticized
the decision to bar his political party,
Lavalas Family, from the election,
saying it had disenfranchised a
majority of Haitians in the sharply
divided nation.
