Teen guilty in bomb plot

Jurors deadlock on two charges in Hillsdale bombing trial,request further argument
By Michelle Durand
and Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A Hillsdale High School dropout was
found guilty yesterday of attempting to
kill a chemistry teacher he thought
ruined his life but the jury remains dead-
locked on the same charge regarding the
Alexander security aide responding to reports the
Youshock bomb-laden teen was trying to start a
chain saw inside a classroom building as
part of the planned massacre he called
“D-Day.”
Jurors returned with guilty verdicts for
five of the seven charges against 18-year-
old Alexander Robert Youshock in the
failed Aug. 24, 2009 attack. Arguments
will be heard this morning on the final
two charges concerning the throwing of a
pipe bomb at Jana Torres, the security
aide who Youshock said simply got in his
way while he tried carrying out his plan.
While defense attorney Jonathan
McDougall characterized further argu-
ment as a form of coercion, Judge
Stephen Hall saw the request as a rea-
sonable way to help the jury reach agree-
ment on two counts on which it is cur-
rently split. Hall will allow McDougall
and Chief Deputy District Attorney
Karen Guidotti each 15 minutes this
morning to argue about questions raised
by the jury. The jury was unsure of
whether Youshock saw Torres before
throwing the first pipe bomb and how
detonation of the second pipe bomb
relates to the charges. The jury will con-
tinue deliberations after this morning’s
hearing.
The verdict on several of the counts,
like explosives and weapons possession,

Legislative vote on tax election nears
By Lien Hoang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — The California
Legislature is set to convene amid uncer-
tainty over the fate of Gov. Jerry Brown’s
budget proposal and warnings by majori-
ty Democrats that they might try to
bypass Republican lawmakers to call a
special election on taxes.
The most immediate question for the
session beginning Tuesday remains
whether the governor and majority
Democrats can get Republican support
for an election this summer so voters can
decide whether to renew higher sales,
personal income and vehicle taxes.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrel
Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said he could
schedule a vote soon to force GOP law-
makers to make a decision but would not
give up on a deal as long as the
Democratic governor wants to keep nego-
tiating.

BIG SUR — Heavy rain triggered

Democrats have
floated the idea of
trying to get it on the
ballot by a simple
majority vote.
Should that succeed,
the vote almost cer-
tainly would be dis-
puted in court
Jerry Brown because legislation
related to taxes and
ballot measures require a two-thirds
majority.
Mark Hedlund, a spokesman for
Steinberg, said that although such a vote
would be questionable, it was being con-
sidered.
“We’re still focusing on two-thirds but
trying to leave our options open,” he said
Monday.
Republicans would challenge the legal-
ity of a simple-majority approval, said
Sabrina Lockhart, spokeswoman for
Assembly Minority Leader Connie
rustic town of Big Sur, said Jim Shivers,
a spokesman for the California
Department of Transportation.
The section of Highway 1 was expect-
ed to remain closed at least until
Tuesday and possibly longer, Shivers
said.
The latest mudslide occurred just as
Caltrans officials were reopening a sec-
tion of the highway about 12 miles north
that had been closed after a storm
dumped mud and rocks near Limekiln
Conway of Tulare.
Budget talks stalled on Friday after
Senate Republicans released a list of 53
budget reforms and policy changes they
want in exchange for backing Brown’s
tax initiative. The governor hopes to
solve the $26.6 billion deficit by balanc-
ing the tax extensions with about $14 bil-
lion in spending cuts and fund transfers,
some of which he signed into law last
week.
One of the Republicans’ proposed
reforms would limit an extension of the
tax hikes to 18 months instead of five
years, as Democrats want. Another would
let Californians vote to reduce public
pensions and set a state spending cap.
The rest of the GOP wish-list covers a
broad range of proposals, including con-
verting public employee pensions to
401(k)-style plans, tying future state
spending to inflation, restoring funding
for county fairs and moving next year’s
presidential primary to March, rather than
June as Democrats would like.

On March 16, heavy rain caused a sec-

New hotline provides free
legal advice for elder abuse victims
California seniors who are victims of domestic abuse can
obtain free legal assistance through a new toll-free statewide
number, officials said.
Victims over the age of 60 can call the California Senior Legal
Hotline, where they will receive confidential advice on legal mat-
ters.
The program is designed to address a growing problem of
domestic violence toward elderly people who experience stalk-
ing, physical or emotional abuse, threats, or neglect by a family
member, spouse, partner, caregiver or cohabitant.
Callers can also be connected with local domestic violence
programs so they can obtain additional support, officials said.
This hotline is possible because of a grant from the U.S.
Department of Justice, according to the hotline.
The problem of domestic abuse toward seniors was highlight-
ed during a recent hearing of the Senate Special Committee on
Aging, where actor Mickey Rooney shared his story of abuse by
a family member.
The hotline will be operated under the Sacramento-based non-
profit Legal Services of Northern California.
The toll-free number for seniors in need of legal guidance is
(800) 222-1753.
This is not an emergency line, and those who feel immediate-
ly threatened should dial 911, according to hotline officials.
New Giant Pacific octopus joins Aquarium of the Bay
A Giant Pacific Octopus will be getting its tentacles wet as the
newest addition to an aquarium in San Francisco, officials said.
The Aquarium of the Bay welcomed the octopus Thursday
after purchasing it from a local crab fisherman, according to the
aquarium.
Giant Pacific Octopuses crave crabs and den-like enclosures,
and often mistake crabbers’ nets as hunting and hiding ground,
where they are unintentionally caught, aquarium officials said.
If the octopus kills and eats the crabber’s catch, many fisher-
men retaliate by killing the octopus, according to the aquarium.
Aquarium of the Bay tries to change this behavior by working
with fishermen and purchasing octopuses for exhibit.

Libyan rebels bear down on Gadhafi’s hometown
Obama says ‘we have
a responsibility to act’
By Ben Feller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Vigorously
defending American attacks in
Libya, President Barack Obama
declared Monday night that the
United States intervened to prevent a
slaughter of civilians that would
have stained the world’s conscience
and “been a betrayal of who we are”
as Americans. Yet he ruled out tar-
geting Moammar Gadhafi, warning
that trying to oust him militarily
would be a mistake as costly as the
war in Iraq.
Obama announced that NATO
would take command over the entire
Libya operation on Wednesday,
keeping his pledge to get the U.S.
out of the lead fast — but offering
no estimate on when the conflict
might end and no details about its
costs despite demands for those
answers from lawmakers.
He declined to label the U.S.-led
military campaign as a “war,” but
made an expansive case for why he
believed it was in the national inter-
est of the United States and allies to
use force.
In blunt terms, Obama said the
U.S.-led response had stopped
Gadhafi’s advances and halted a
slaughter that could have shaken the
stability of an entire region. Obama
cast the intervention in Libya as
imperative to keep Gadhafi from
killing those rebelling against him
and to prevent a refugee crisis that
would drive Libyans into Egypt and
Tunisia, two countries emerging
from their own uprisings.
“To brush aside America’s
responsibility as a leader and —
more profoundly — our responsibil-
ities to our fellow human beings
under such circumstances would
have been a betrayal of who we are,”
Obama said. He spoke in a televised
LOCAL/NATION/WORLD
address to the
nation, delivered
in front of a
respectful audi-
ence of military
members and
diplomats.
“Some nations
may be able to
turn a blind eye
Barack Obama to atrocities in
other countries.
The United States of America is dif-
ferent,” Obama said. “And as presi-
dent, I refused to wait for the images
of slaughter and mass graves before
taking action.”
Obama spoke as, in Libya, rebel
forces bore down Monday on
Gadhafi with the help of airstrikes
by the U.S.-led forces. His speech
was his most aggressive attempt to
answer the questions mounting from
Republican critics, his own party
and war-weary Americans —
chiefly, why the U.S. was immersed
in war in another Muslim nation.
So far, the nation is split about
Obama’s leadership on Libya.
Across multiple polls, about half of
those surveyed approve of the way
Obama is handling the situation. A
Pew poll out Monday found that the
public does not think the United
States and its allies have a clear goal
in Libya — 39 percent of those
polled said they do; 50 percent said
they do not.
Amid protests and crackdowns
across the Middle East and North
Africa, Obama stated his case that
Libya stands alone. Obama said the
United States had a unique ability to
stop the violence, an international
mandate and broad coalition, and
the ability to stop Gadhafi’s forces
without sending in American ground
troops. The message to his country
and the world: Libya is not a prece-
dent for intervention anywhere else.

Tempers flare in budget showdown
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — With the
clock ticking toward a possible gov-
ernment shutdown, spending-cut
talks between Senate Democrats
and the Republicans controlling the
House have broken off in a whom-
do-you-trust battle over legislation
to keep operations running for
another six months.
Democrats have readied a propos-
al to cut $20 billion more from this
year’s budget, a party official said,
but they haven’t yet sent it to House
Republicans. That’s because they
say it’s unclear whether the majori-
ty Republicans would accept a split-
the-difference bargain they’d earlier
hinted at or will yield to demands of
tea party-backed GOP freshmen for
a tougher measure.
The official spoke only on condi-
tion of anonymity to discuss internal
deliberations.
“Republicans refuse to negotiate,”
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
declared on Monday. “The infight-
ing between the tea party and the
rest of the Republican Party —
including the Republican leadership
in Congress — is keeping our nego-
tiating partner from the negotiating
table. And it’s pretty hard to negoti-
ate without someone else on the
other side of the table,” the Nevada
Democrat said.
Republicans countered that it’s
the Democrats who have yet to offer
a serious plan to wrestle spending
under control and that a Democratic
offer from last week to cut $11 bil-
lion from the budget was laced with
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Capitol Hill in Washington,D.C.
gimmickry.
Time is running short. Staff-level
negotiations last week ran aground,
and the principals are going to have
to pick up the pace to have any
chance of making an April 8 dead-
line to avoid a partial shutdown of
the government. Right now it
appears that the shutdown that both
sides have sworn to avoid is possible
— if not probable.
The vehicle for the latest fighting
is legislation to bankroll the day-to-
day operating budgets of federal
agencies — including military oper-
ations in Iraq and Afghanistan —
through the Sept. 30 end of the
budget year. Other major tests will
soon follow, as House Republicans
unveil a blueprint to attack the
broader budget mess next week —
and a must-do measure to maintain

the government’s ability to borrow
money to meet its responsibilities.
Within that context, the current bat-
tle involves relatively modest
amounts
Last month, House Republicans
passed a measure to cut more than
$60 billion from the $1.1 trillion
budgeted for such programs last
year. All the savings were taken
from domestic programs and for-
eign aid, which make up about half
of the pot. Democrats in the Senate
killed the measure as too extreme,
citing cuts to education, health
research, food inspection and other
programs and services.
Since then, Republicans have won
$10 billion in spending cuts as the
price for two stopgap measures that
have prevented a government shut-
down.

Unrest in Syria
President Assad wavers on
crackdown or compromise

Assad wavered between cracking
down and compromising Monday in
one of the Middle East’s most author-

thousands of protesters in a southern
city defied security forces who fired
tear gas to disperse them.
The unrest in Syria, a strategically
important country of 23 million peo-
ple, could have implications well
beyond the country’s borders given
its role as Iran’s top Arab ally and as
a front line state against Israel.
“Nobody has an interest in Syria
going aflame,” said Hilal Khashan, a
political science professor at the
American University of Beirut.

The southern city of Daraa —
parched by drought, rural and
impoverished — has become the
flashpoint for 10 days of anti-gov-
ernment protests in a country that
has a history of brutally crushing
dissent. At least 61 people have been
killed since March 18, according to
Human Rights Watch.
Touched off by the arrest of sever-
al teenagers who scrawled anti-gov-
ernment graffiti on a wall in Daraa,
the protests exploded nationwide on
Friday. Security forces launched a
swift crackdown, opening fire in at
least six locations around the coun-
try — including the capital,
Damascus, and the country’s main
port of Latakia.

New garbage deal stinks
Editor,
At the last San Mateo City Council
meeting, a very strange and disturbing
situation confronted our council.
They had to approve a garbage con-
tract that was already under contract
and were told that, if they didn’t
approve, they could be looking at a law
suit for breach of contract. As the city
attorney said, “It seems to me and oth-
ers that due process was circumspect
and illegal.”
San Mateo citizens must be able to
review and comment on any contract
that affects rates of any kind before it is
signed.
Does the process above resemble a
fair practice, or does it seem like a way
around fair, open, honest and transpar-
ent negotiations?

A celebration indeed
Editor,
It was billed as an invitation to a
meeting of the 70-95-100 Club as it
was the celebration of Dr. Eph
Engleman’s 100th birthday, his wife
Jean Engleman’s 95th birthday and
their 70th wedding anniversary. The
room was overflowing with love, awe
and inspiration for their lives that have
been lived so meaningfully.
Eph was a violin prodigy who later
became a world-renown rheumatolo-
gist. He still practices medicine at
UCSF and holds weekly chamber
music sessions in their San Mateo
home. Jean is a poet, community
organizer and volunteer who graduated
from Mills College. She started paint-
ing in her 70s and writing poetry in her
90s. They married in 1941. Jean and
Eph have two sons, a daughter, six
grandchildren and two great-grandchil-
dren. Jean’s and Eph’s twinkling eyes,
their warm smiles and the graciousness
with which they shared some of life’s
most profound lessons inspired all to
pursue a life of purpose.
One thing you never forget is how
people make you feel. Being around
Eph and Jean, you see firsthand two
people who love each other and love
life. Thanks for the inspiration. We’ll
pass it on.

to abandon the train. I’d be forced to
move, and I would not be alone. If and
when Caltrain recovered their funding,
they’d find that a substantial portion of
their ridership is lost forever, having

decades to rebuild what was in place.
One could argue we would be better

to Portland or Boulder and taking my

Support for Caltrain
against proposed cuts
Editor;
Caltrain is valuable to me personally
because I do not drive and therefore
rely on public transportation to get
around the Bay Area. Without Caltrain,
my capacity to travel about the Bay
Area for work and for recreation would
be limited to virtually zero. I use
Caltrain to take students on field trips,
which are integral to their courses, and
for getting to the airport, which I have
to do regularly for work trips as well as
to visit family. Without Caltrain, I
would be unable to do any of these
things. Moreover, Caltrain is essential
for the Bay Area if it is to maintain and
reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, to
reduce the costs of road maintenance
and more importantly road casualties,
and, more generally, to maintain a
workable infrastructure for a growing
and diverse population.

OPINION
I just have one question for Save the
Bay: What are you going to do to pro-
tect my neighborhood from rising sea
levels?
I know the answer. Nothing.
The Saltworks project will build and
maintain a levee system to protect the
housing of low-income, Spanish-speak-
ing residents. Your “plan” pretends we
don’t matter, or even exist. You’re
happy to come to the edge of our
neighborhood to take pretty pictures of
the birds you claim you’ll save from
the Saltworks project. But when we
have no levee, I’m sure we won’t find
you in the middle of our neighborhood
working with us to find and pay for
new housing.
You must be hoping that we’ll just
move away, so that the rich folks up the
hill can come down and revel in the
“nature” of what used to be our neigh-
borhood. Is that what it means to be an
environmentalist these days?

Ironies on irony
Editor,
When Ronald Reagan declared war
on unions as president of the United
States, he targeted PATCO, the profes-
sional air traffic controllers, by firing
the entire union force of workers. He
temporarily replaced them with mili-
tary air traffic controllers.
The effects of his actions are felt to
this day, both through the continued
attacks by Republicans on the working
force in this country and through the
failure of the aviation industry to
recover from the loss of qualified air
traffic controllers.
Ironically, an airport in Washington,
D.C. was named after the former presi-
dent who had such a deleterious effect
on air safety.
Now, the safety issue created by the
shortage of air traffic controllers has
been brought to the forefront, ironical-
ly, by two pilots having to land without
assistance because the lone air traffic
controller on duty was asleep — at the
very airport named after the late presi-
dent!
To add yet another level of irony, a
Republican-crafted bill that would cut
$4 billion over four years from the
FAA is currently working its way
through Congress.
The agency, whose purpose is to
guarantee safety in the air says it needs
more money, not less to provide air
safety.

Hat trick
W
here was my hat? I don’t live in a mansion and
the Giants 2010 World Series cap wasn’t part of
my regular work or social ensembles. I never
stuck it in the dryer — the place where socks go to disappear
on a regular basis — and I absolutely knew it wasn’t safely
packed away with my jersey. In other words, there weren’t
that many options for having left it
somewhere unexpected.
In fact, the hat had only been
worn a handful of times between
the sweet, victorious close of last
season in November and now: the
day I bought it, just before the
team killed the Rangers in the first
game of the series, followed by a
few bad hair days through the
winter and those weekend morn-
ing dog walks when a ponytail and
cap had to suffice as a fashion
statement. And frankly, when it
comes to masking frizzy locks and substantial ear warmth
during these dreary, brisk days before spring kicks in, there
are other choices more substantial and girly.
But with the boys back from Arizona ready for another
win, or at least a stretch without injury, no other hat would
do. I didn’t even have until opening day to find it, having
committed to the first Battle of the Bay exhibition game
against the Oakland A’s. Although the American-National
league showdown counts for little more than morale and
bragging rights, the Giants need to win. So one pair of fin-
gers were crossed for complete annihilation. The other for
weather that didn’t require a rain poncho (they’re so hard to
find in orange).
Fresh out of fingers, I needed more than luck to find the
hat. I needed a strong dose of memory enhancement and a
little elbow grease to look in every possible location.
But first, of course, came the accusations.
“You took my hat!” I thundered.
“Um, you’ve been complaining about it being missing for
weeks now. Don’t you think if I’d taken it I would have
‘fessed up or put it back by now?” came the response.
How dare logic get in the way.
“Anyway,” came the secondary reply, “You have other hats
if you don’t find it in time.”
What?!?! This from someone who once tore apart the
entire house looking for “lucky” baseball socks?
Second step — widen the circle of suspicion.
“Did you take it?” I asked the dogs, reminding them with
my tone about all the other times a sock, a shirt, a random
flip-flop has mysteriously made its way into one of their
beds.
If they’d taken this precious commodity, it wouldn’t just
be “bad dog” and no treats. This would be war! Wait, I mean
it would be a kinetic military action.
After all, this was not just any hat. This was a cap meticu-
lously sought, patiently waited for and still bearing the offi-
cial round World Series hologram sticker on the brim. I had-
n’t wanted the standard black cap with “SF” on the front and
a a trophy emblem on the back that appears rather anatomi-
cal in nature. And I certainly didn’t want a World Series hat
that bore the names of both San Francisco and Texas. After
moping about the satellite Dugout Store across from the ball-
park because it just didn’t have what I wanted — and that
goes double for the checkout line snaking through the store
and out the door even at 10 a.m. — the answer was discov-
ered in an overpriced souvenir stand right outside the
entrance. Dark gray, white lettering, an orange “SF.” Perhaps
not what the boys on the field wear but perfect for me.
The importance of the right hat was reiterated in the ball-
park restaurant later that day. A man offered another fan
money to remove his 2002 World Series cap because, well,
we all know how that showdown with Anaheim ended. Bad
karma, the first man said. No, said the hat-wearer. The first
man even sent a friend to buy a new 2010 cap which the
quite-surprised recipient plopped on his head over the
offending hat. No good, the buyer said, offering him money
on top of the new hat to remove it.
The man finally did, taking the new cap but not the money.
Later that night, the Giants won. Cap karma? Perhaps.
All I know is that if there was a chance my hat held the
fate of the game, I wasn’t taking it.
Besides, I’d already found the favorite green scarf that had
eluded me for who knows how long. That comfy shirt that fit
just so was finally rescued from its inexplicable place among
the pajamas. Could a third save be too much to ask?
In the end, there were no evil hat elves in my home. No
proof the dogs were retaliating in anger for never being
taken to the annual Dog Days of Summer game.
Instead, the hat had simply slipped from its closet shelf to
a dark, far corner behind the vacuum. Maybe I’d never
looked far enough back. Maybe my lack of discovery for so
long is indicative of the last time I reached for the vacuum.
That truth is something I’m keeping a lid on.

NEW YORK — Stocks closed with
slight losses Monday after falling in
the last half-hour of trading. Major
indexes had been up for most of the day
after several economic reports suggest-
ed that the recovery is continuing.
The Dow Jones industrial average
fell 22.71 points, or 0.2 percent, to
12,197.88. The broader S&P 500 index
lost 3.61, or 0.3 percent, to 1,310.19.
The Nasdaq composite fell 12.38, or
0.5 percent, to 2,730.68. Each index
had been up more than 0.4 percent ear-
lier in the day.
The Commerce Department said con-
sumer spending rose at its fastest pace
in four months in February, though
some of the increase was driven by
higher gas prices. The National
Association of Realtors said more
Americans signed contracts to buy
homes in February than economists
were expecting. Sales rose in every
region but the Northeast, but remained

Tax cut money being burned on gas
By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Americans are
earning and spending more, but a lot of
the extra money is going down their gas
tanks. Gas prices have drained more
than half the extra cash Americans are
getting this year from a cut in Social
Security taxes.
Unlike some other kinds of spending,
paying more for gas doesn’t help the
economy much. Most of the money
goes overseas, and higher prices leave
people with less money to buy appli-
ances, computers, plane tickets and
other things that can be postponed.
“When food and gasoline prices are
rising, it causes people to hunker
down,” said Chris G. Christopher Jr.,
senior economist at IHS Global Insight.

DALLAS — The airlines’ latest effort

The Social Security tax cut will give
most households an additional $1,000

President Barack Obama signed it into

and stronger economic growth.
But gas prices have jumped more
than 50 cents a gallon this year. In late
December, they hit $3 a gallon for the
first time in two years. Last week, they
averaged $3.58 nationwide, according

growth and the biggest expansion since
before the recession.
Still, much of the anticipated benefit
from the tax cut will be lost.
Christopher estimates half to two-thirds
of the extra cash will ultimately go
toward higher gas prices. Food prices
have also risen in recent months, he
noted.
Higher gas prices generally don’t
help the economy, even though they
force people to spend more. The addi-
tional money doesn’t go toward making
more products in the United States. And
it seldom pays for higher salaries or
new jobs. It generally ends up going
overseas to oil-producing nations.

“Commerce is at an inflection point
where the lines between online and

“We see retailers of all sizes, merchants

help them grow their businesses.”
Lots of businesses need help doing
things like generating demand for prod-
ucts, running their websites, delivering
goods to customers, and growing their
mobile sales, Donahoe said. GSI does
this for large companies, and eBay and
PayPal do this for small- and medium-
sized companies, he said, which makes
the acquisition a natural fit.
United and Continental then gave up and
canceled the increases on Saturday.
By Monday morning, US Airways was
the only one of the major airlines that
still had the higher fares.
It’s unclear whether consumer demand
is too weak to absorb more price increas-
es, or whether the recent failed price
hikes are merely a pause before fares

Madigan mows ‘em down
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
While warming up in the bullpen prior to
Tuesday’s Peninsula Athletic League match-
up with Aragon, Carlmont ace Daniel
Madigan couldn’t help but feel that it was
going to be his afternoon.
“I found out in the bullpen that my curveball
was working so I said, ‘Let’s abuse it.’”
With his offspeed pitch biting and his fast-
ball possessing its normal high velocity,
Madigan did just that. The senior pitched a
complete game, allowing only four hits and
striking out nine Dons.
“I think my advantage in that game was that
I got ahead on a lot of the counts,” Madigan
said. “So then, with very little runners on base,
I got a chance to kind of mess with the batters.
My curveball was working really well in the
bullpen. I was anxious to use it when I got to
the mound. It was working then so when I got
to 0-2, 1-2 counts, I wasn’t afraid to throw it in
the dirt and see if they were going to swing
after it.”
When an Aragon hitter was able to lay off it,
Madigan said he came back with another in
the strike zone that froze the batter. It was a
process he repeated over and over again to
great success and drove the Scots to a 4-0 vic-
tory. Madigan didn’t just contribute on the
mound. He also went 4-for-7 at the dish, with
a walk and a run scored during the week’s
sweep of Aragon.
For his efforts, Madigan is the Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week.
“When I got pulled up to varsity my sopho-
more year,” Madigan said, “my coach told me
that I’m going to be a pitcher with good
mechanics and everything I throw I’m going to
have confidence in. My biggest job is, I think,
I need to get it done on the mound.”
Getting it done is exactly what Madigan has
been doing this season. He’s 2-0 in three
appearances, striking out 20 hitters and walk-
ing only five. Those numbers have translated
into two very impressive ones: a .196 oppos-
ing batting average and a perfect 0.00 earned
run average.
“I think about how I’m going to get this bat-
ter out,” Madigan said of his approach on the
mound. “I don’t always look to overpower the

I’ve given periodic updates on my

Today, I write the obituary for my

my wife and I moved to Livermore in

was probably 12 to

he was adopted.
Sunday, we made the

it was time. He had
slowly gotten worse

our worst fears — a

I didn’t know which was going to be
worse: making the decision to euthanize or
explaining it to my daughter. She had
grown up with Cosmo, he was her “broth-

found out which was worse. I broke down
sobbing.
Which drew a curious response: “Weird.
I’ve never seen a boy cry before.”
She eventually came to understand it in
whatever way a 7-year-old can. We headed
to the clinic and eventually said our tearful
good-byes. There was one chuckle when
my daughter said, “Don’t worry Cosmo,
mommy and daddy will join you soon.”
I knew what she meant.
I stayed with him to the end. What made
it so difficult was Cosmo was MY dog. We
chose each other. I grew up with dogs, but

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — Four former
NFL players, including Hall of Fame
defensive end Carl Eller, sued the NFL
on Monday in hope of joining current
players in their antitrust fight against
the league and halting the lockout.
Eller, three-time All-Pro running
back Priest Holmes and ex-players
Obafemi Ayanbadejo and Ryan
Collins are listed as plaintiffs in the
44-page complaint filed in federal
court in Minneapolis.

of all retired or former NFL players
who receive health, retirement or other
benefits from the league or its subsi-
dized plans, arguing those benefits
will be jeopardized by the loss of NFL

Bonds, who
holds the major
league record for
home runs in a
career, is
accused of four
counts of mak-
Kimberly Bell ing false state-
ments and one
of obstruction for telling a federal
grand jury in 2003 — months after
his relationship with Bell ended —
that he never knowingly used per-
formance-enhancing drugs.
Bell took the stand Monday
morning after San Francisco Giants
clubhouse manager Mike Murphy
nervously testified that Bonds need-
revenue in an extended lockout.
The suit was also filed on behalf of
potential rookie players, arguing the
lockout would harm them by increas-
ing injury risk if they’re unable to play
in games and stiffening the competi-
tion if they must enter the league a
year later with another pool of rookies.
The lawsuit asks the court to stop the
2011 NFL draft until the alleged
antitrust violations are resolved.
The case was assigned to Senior
U.S. District Judge Richard Kyle in St.
Paul, Minn., where U.S. District Judge
Susan Richard Nelson is scheduled to
hold an April 6 hearing on a request by
current players to immediately halt the
lockout.
Shawn Stuckey, an attorney for the
former and future players, said he

ed a bigger hat for the 2002 season.
Prosecutors say that testimony is
important because an enlarged head
is a side effect of human growth
hormone use.
Under questioning from Assistant
U.S. Attorney Jeff Nedrow, Bell
said she asked Bonds about the
problem with his left elbow, which
she described as “a big lump ... it
looked awful.” She testified that
Bonds responded by saying his
steroid use caused the injury,
because the muscle and tendons
grew too fast for the joint to handle.
“It blew out,” she said.
Bell also said that Bonds talked
about the widespread use of steroids
among baseball players, including
his suspicion that Mark McGwire
intends to ask the court to combine the
retirees’ lawsuit with the antitrust suit
filed by Tom Brady, Drew Brees,
Peyton Manning and others.
“We hope that we can be a part of
that hearing. For the sake of judicial
economy, it would help to streamline
things to make sure you get all parties
involved at the same table at the same
hearing at the same time,” Stuckey
said.
He added: “If we can’t get that, we
want to give the retired players a
voice.”
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in
email that league attorneys had not yet
had an opportunity to review the law-
suit and declined to comment.
Stuckey, a former linebacker with
New England and Tampa Bay, said
was juicing during his assault on the
single-season home run record in
1998 — a mark that Bonds later
broke.
“He mentioned that other players
do it and that’s how they got ahead,
that’s how they achieved,” Bell said.
Dressed in a dark blue suit, Bonds
alternately watched Bell on the
stand, scribbled notes and whis-
pered to one of his defense attor-
neys, Allen Ruby.
Bell, wearing a gray pantsuit and
white shirt, said she and Bonds met
briefly on July 3, 1994, and attend-
ed a barbecue the next day. From
there, they shared a romantic rela-
tionship that continued even after
Bonds married another woman in
1999.

the attorneys representing the current
players.
“We thought the best way to remain
in solidarity with all the players was to

consistent with the goals of all NFL
players. We want everyone to be on
the same page. We hope that our
efforts from this point forth remain
consistent.”

line, is in the suit to represent the Hall

Bell said that Bonds’ sexual per-
formance declined in the later years
of their relationship. She said that
his testicles changed shape and
shrank. She also testified that Bonds
grew — and shaved — chest hair
and developed acne on his back.
A visibly uncomfortable Bell tes-
tified that Bonds’ behavior also
changed over time. “He was
increasingly aggressive, irritable,
agitated and very impatient,” she
said.
Bell became emotional as she tes-
tified that Bonds verbally abused
her starting in 1999, saying that —
in addition to threatening to decapi-
tate her — Bonds said “he would
cut out my breast implants because
he paid for them.”
Baltimore on the Super Bowl champi-
on team in the 2000 season, are plain-
tiffs to represent retirees with vested
pensions.
Collins, a tight end with Baltimore
and Cleveland who was on
Minnesota’s practice squad in 1998, is
in the lawsuit to represent non-vested
former players.
The NFL offers retirement, disabili-
ty and death benefits, with each pro-
gram subsidized by the 32 teams. The
retirees want the NFL lockout lifted to
ensure their pensions and health bene-
fits remain funded.
According to the lawsuit, those ben-
efits can end if a collective bargaining
agreement is not renewed by next
March 11 — a year after the last one
expired.

AL champ Rangers facing Padres hope to close

hurdles in bid to repeat
By Stephen Hawkins
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Texas — The shiny champi-
onship rings Texas players are still in boxes. There
have been a lot of spiffy improvements to Rangers
Ballpark, too, since their first World Series.
Yet, there is already plenty to tarnish the expec-
tations for the Rangers less than six months after
winning their first American League pennant.
Just like the days when the Rangers were still
also-rans in the AL West, there seem to be grow-
ing concerns about pitching despite plenty of big
bats.
All-Star third baseman Adrian Beltre has been
added to a lineup so stacked that Rangers career
hits leader Michael Young has been pushed into
the role of the primary designated hitter and
dropped to sixth in the batting order. Josh
Hamilton is coming off an AL MVP season when
he led the majors hitting .359, along with 32 home
runs and 100 RBIs.
But ace left-hander Cliff Lee decided not to stay
despite a $138 million, six-year offer and instead
returned to Philadelphia, another team he has
pitched for in the World Series.
And soon after settling on their Lee-less rota-
tion, and deciding to keep hard-throwing Neftali
Feliz in the bullpen, Tommy Hunter strained his
right groin, Derek Holland had a horrible outing
and C.J. Wilson went only two innings his final
Arizona start because of tightness in his left ham-
string.
Wilson, the crafty left-hander who won 15
games last season after making the transition from
the bullpen to the rotation, did throw some more
pitches on the side after com-
ing out Saturday and still
plans to start the season
opener at home Friday
against Boston.
But while the weekend
will include the debut of the
ballpark upgrades and hand-
ing out those rings to fifth-
Josh Hamilton year manager Ron
Washington and his players,
it marks the beginning of the Rangers’ bid to
return to the World Series.
“We know what it takes to get there now, and
we need to win three more games, that’s it,” said,
Lewis 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA in four postseason
starts after 12 regular-season wins in his return
from Japan. “That was the big deal, we know what
it takes, we know what type of grind it is.”
The Rangers had never won a postseason series,
or even a home playoff game, before last season
— the 50th in the history of the franchise that start-
ed as the expansion Washington Senators in 1961.
“It’s a confidence builder. We’ve always felt like
we could do it,” Hamilton said. “We just got to the
point where the pitching stepped up, and our
defense and our hitting kind of all worked togeth-
er at the same time.”
Ian Kinsler has returned to the leadoff spot after
a career-best .382 on-pace percentage last year

the deal this season
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Padres are set-
ting the tone for an interesting NL West race.
Just before spring training, ace Mat Latos
signed three balls intended to raise money for
charity, adding the words “I hate SF” in a dig at the
defending division and World Series champion
San Francisco Giants.
Last Saturday, the Padres and Dodgers perked
up their rivalry when the benches emptied after a
batter from each team was hit by a pitch.
The Padres will try to win the division after
coming painfully close last year. Although they
overachieved by winning 90 games, they faltered
down the stretch and were eliminated from playoff
contention on the season’s last day.
They move on without All-Star slugger Adrian
Gonzalez, who was traded to the Boston Red Sox
because the Padres said they couldn’t afford to
keep him once he became a free agent.
The Padres were a feel-good story most of last
summer. They cruised to an NL-best 76-49 record
on Aug. 25, good for a 6 1/2-game lead in the NL
West. But they lost their next 10 games to see their
lead shrink to just one game, and then won only 14
more games the rest of the way.
“The last thing on my mind after last year was
being satisfied. You’re that close and then you
don’t make it,” said left-hander Clayton Richard,
the team’s No. 2 starter. “We’ll take what we can
from last year and look forward.”
During spring training a year ago, All-Star clos-
er Heath Bell predicted the Padres would win the
World Series.
“I (stink) at predictions,”
said Bell, who decided not to
prognosticate this year, in
part because he wasn’t happy
that Latos stirred it up with
the “I hate SF” balls.
“This year I’m definitely
not predicting anything,”
Mat Latos Bell added. “We’re just
going to take care of busi-
ness and not talk about anything else.”
Bell does offer this: “I think we can win more
than 90 games. We have a great pitching staff. I
think we’re going to be on base more, so we’re
going to score a couple more runs, and I think
those games where we couldn’t score anything, I
think this year we’re going to be able to score.
Every game we’re going to score at least a couple
of runs, where last year we were struggling to
score some runs.”
Despite Gonzalez’s departure, the Padres say
they are a more complete team this year.
Bell said the players acquired by general man-
ager Jed Hoyer will make this a livelier, more
vocal club. Among them are second baseman
Orlando Hudson, who never stops chattering.
“I think this team is going to be a lot more fun,”
said Bell, whose 47 saves were one shy of the
majors-best 48 by San Francisco’s Brian Wilson.
“Last year we jelled really nice. We had a good
time, we had fun, but I think this year there’s going
to be more antics and more joking around, a lot
more fun this year.”

Favored Phillies know expectations are high favorites to win it all entering spring
By Rob Maaddi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEARWATER, Fla. — How’s
this for pressure? Anything less than
a World Series title will be consid-
ered a failure for the Philadelphia
Phillies this season.
Expectations are that high for a
franchise that’s won just two cham-
pionships in 128 years and has lost
more games than any pro team in
professional sports.
A sensational starting rotation
bolstered by the stunning offseason
addition of Cliff Lee is the reason
the Phillies were consensus
training.
Adding Lee to a staff that includes
reigning NL Cy Young Award win-
ner Roy Halladay, three-time All-
Star Roy Oswalt and 2008 World
Series MVP Cole Hamels gives
Philadelphia a rotation that’s
already been compared to some of
baseball’s all-time best starting
staffs.
But injuries took a toll this spring
and the team will head north with-
out five-time All-Star second base-
man Chase Utley, closer Brad Lidge
and outfielder Domonic Brown, a
top prospect who was expected to
help replace Jayson Werth.
Still, the Phillies are considered
the team to beat in the NL. Even
Bruce Bochy, manager of the
defending World Series champion
San Francisco Giants, gave
Philadelphia the nod when his club
opened camp.
The Phillies have won four
straight NL East titles, and led the
majors with 97 wins last year. They
were World Series champions in
2008, fell two wins short of repeat-
ing in ’09 and were two wins away
from becoming the first NL team in
66 years to capture three consecu-
tive pennants before losing to the
Giants in the NLCS last fall.
That’s why fans in Philadelphia
began planning for an October
parade down Broad Street from the
minute the Phillies signed Lee to a
$120 million, five-year contract in
December.
Of course, having the best team
on paper doesn’t guarantee success.
“Sometimes people forget how
hard it is to win. Sometimes we for-
get everything about it — fans,
media, organizational people, play-
ers, managers and coaches,” manag-
er Charlie Manuel said early in
spring training. “The other day, I
was just sitting and thinking about
winning. Winning is hard. The
Yankees have won 27 World Series.
How long have they been in exis-
tence, 128 years? That means that
over 100 years, they lost. Winning is
tough. Winning is hard. And you’ve
got to stay at it.”
Losing Utley doesn’t help. Utley
is out indefinitely with a tricky knee
problem, leaving a big void in
Philadelphia’s lineup. Utley’s injury
and Werth’s departure — he signed
a $126 million, seven-year deal with
Washington — means the Phillies
will start the season without their
Nos. 3 and 5 hitters from the last
few years.

Stanford heading back to Final Four NCAAning the Spokane Regional in 2008
By Tim Booth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPOKANE, Wash. — Nnemkadi
Ogwumike knows nothing but going
to the Final Four since arriving at
Stanford. Little sister Chiney is
coming along for the ride this time.
Nnemkadi Ogwumike dominated
the inside with 23 points and 11
rebounds, sister Chiney chipped in
with 18 points and 15 boards, and
Stanford is headed back to its fourth
straight Final Four after the top-
seeded Cardinal ended the surpris-
ing run of Gonzaga 83-60 in the
Spokane Regional final on Monday
night.
The size and strength of Stanford
was simply too much for the
Bulldogs, and their more than
11,000 hometown fans, to overcome
on this night. Kayla Pedersen and
Jeanette Pohlen will close out their
college careers on The Farm a per-
fect 4 for 4 at reaching the Final
Four, a streak that started by win-
when they were freshman.
Stanford (33-2) won its 27th straight
to match the longest streak in school
history and will face the Baylor-Texas
A&M winner in the national semifi-
nals on Sunday night.
Courtney Vandersloot did her best to
carry Gonzaga (31-5) for a half before
the Bulldogs wore down in the final 20
minutes under a bevy of missed shots
and a befuddling Stanford zone
defense. Vandersloot, who came in
averaging 30.7 points and 10.3 assists
in the tournament, finished with 25
points and nine assists, including 18
straight Gonzaga points during a 9-
minute stretch of the first half.
But Stanford managed to harass
Vandersloot in the second half and
limited her to just four points. Her stel-
lar college career ended when she
checked out with 1:14 left to a stand-
ing ovation and a wave to the crowd
after leading Gonzaga to upsets of
Iowa, UCLA and Louisville to reach
the first Elite Eight in school history.
SPORTS
Gonzaga was trying to become the
first team not named Stanford from
West of the Rockies to reach the Final
Four since Long Beach State in 1988.
Instead, it’s Stanford going to the
Final Four for the 10th time.
Pohlen broke out of her recent
shooting slump by hitting five 3-point-
ers and finished with 17 points. Lindy
La Rocque, averaging less than four
points on the season, scored 11,
including pair of key 3-pointers in the
first half when the Ogwumikes were
getting plenty of help from their team-
mates.
Then the sisters took it upon them-
selves at the start of the second half to
make sure there wouldn’t be one more
Gonzaga upset. They scored 14 of
Stanford’s first 16 points to start the
half, with Nnemkadi twice ripping
away rebounds on Chiney’s misses.
They combined for 11 offensive
rebounds and 26 rebounds total —
more than Gonzaga’s total of 25.
Stanford outrebounded Gonzaga by
24.

quite work out — the Patriots beat
Villanova in their first game but lost to
Ohio State in the next round —
Larranaga is more than happy to live
vicariously through Butler and confer-
ence compatriot VCU.
“I have some favorite mid-major
teams,” Larranaga said, “and two of
them are in the Final Four.”
When Butler made the champi-
onship game a year ago, Larranaga
made a congratulatory call to his good
friend, Bulldogs athletic director Barry
Collier. Collier quickly thanked
Larranaga for helping Butler get there.
“I said, ’What are you thanking me
for?”’ Larranaga said. “He said, ’Until
2006, no one thought this could be
done.’ And now I think all mid-majors
think this is a realistic goal for us to
make it to the Final Four.
“I don’t want to make it sound like
I’m taking credit for any of this. I think
like everybody else, you look for signs.
And I think one of the signs for
THE DAILY JOURNAL
whether or not a mid-major can make
it to the Final Four is when someone
gets there. My son sent me an email
and he said, ’I’m going to start calling
your Roger Bannister.’ I said, ’What is
that all about?’ He said, ’Until Roger
Bannister ran a sub-4-minute mile,
everybody said that it couldn’t be
done.’ After he ran a sub-4-minute
mile, it seemed like everybody in the
country, in the world, can run a 4-
minute mile.”
Mid-majors have now made the
Final Four in three of the last six
NCAA tournaments. That’s not a bad
batting average.
“I think that’s kind of a psychologi-
cal barrier that’s been overcome,”
Larranaga said. “Then the next barrier
is a mid-major to win the national
championship.”
Larranaga points out that such a sce-
nario wouldn’t be possible in NCAA
football, where VCU and Butler would
have been relegated to ignorable bowl
games instead of getting a chance to
play for the title.
“But in basketball,” he said, “we
play it on the court.”

China Team challenges for 2013 America’s Cup
By Bernie Wilson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
China Team on Monday announced it will
challenge for the America’s Cup in 2013 in San
Francisco.
China Team is the seventh syndicate to pub-
licly announce its challenge. Two other groups
have entered but won’t announce their chal-

While every other dog was bouncing
around yelping, he calmly sat there with
those sad, brown eyes. When I put the lead
on him to take him to the get-acquainted
room, I immediately felt his power. Powerful
through the chest and shoulder, he nearly
pulled me to — well, wherever he wanted to
go.
When I finished the paperwork and loaded
him into my car to make him part of our
family, he whimpered the whole way home.
It was a precursor to his lifelong vocaliza-
tion. He was constantly moaning and groan-
ing, whimpering and barking — but all in a
good way. He always treated the vet’s office
like a symphony hall with his howling and
braying. My wife swears she taught him how
to say “I love you,” but I never really heard
it.

Thursday is the deadline for entering the 34th
America’s Cup.
The winner of the Louis Vuitton Cup chal-
lenger series will meet defending champion
Oracle Racing of San Francisco for the oldest
trophy in international sports.
China Team made its America’s Cup debut in
2007, finishing last in the Louis Vuitton Cup.

The first time he came home, I let him out
in the backyard and he did laps around the
entire area for about 10 minutes.
He never lost that rambunctious spirit. He
never learned to walk loosely on his leash,
which eventually led him to flunk obedience
school. And, if he got loose in the front yard
— he was gone, gallivanting around the
neighborhood for however long it took us to
corral him and bring him home.
While certainly athletic, Cosmo was by no
means an athlete. Fetch wasn’t for him. He’d
chase a ball around for a few minutes and
grow bored. The only thing he wanted —
more than anything else in the world — was
to be around his family. He could not stay in
the backyard for more than five minutes
before wanting to be back in the house with
us.
And the greeting home was the same every
day, whether we were coming home from
work, or a five-minute jaunt to the grocery
store. Upon putting the key in the door lock,
you could hear Cosmo on the other side,
“(Our relationship) has always been good,”
Madigan said. “He’s been my catcher since
freshman year, so me and him have great
chemistry together. I trust him with everything
he does, with placement, framing, blocking
balls in the dirt. I just have all the confidence
in the world with him.”
That confidence has found its way to the
plate as well. For the year, Madigan is hitting
.364 and is getting on-base at a .652 pace.
“(I have a) two-strike approach the whole
way,” Madigan said. “A lot the pitches I saw
against Aragon they threw right there, so I’m
not opposed to going after the first pitch and it

crew.
“This America’s Cup will feature the best
sailors on the fastest boats, so we’re very happy
to be part of this adventure with China Team, a
boat which will truly represent China, as most
sailors will be Chinese”, Wang Chao Yong,
chairman of China Team, said in a statement.
He also said China Team has the full support
of the Chinese government.

whimpering and moaning, just so glad we
were home.
To put it plainly, Cosmo was a 68-pound
worked out for me after the first two at-bats,
so I got comfortable with it. And if not, I
always try to drag the pitcher deep in the
count so they’re forced to throw something I
want to hit and I got after it. I need to have a
short swing to the plate. You hit line drives
and home runs will come. I’ve always tried to
keep my swing short. I rarely pull the ball. I
try to abuse the left-center field gap. With
these new bats these year, you can’t try to hit
for power.”
Still, Madigan knows that for the Scots to be
successful, he’s going to have to continue his
domination on the mound.

More radioactive water spills at Japan nuke plant
By Shino Yuasa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO — Workers discovered
new pools of radioactive water leak-
ing from Japan’s crippled nuclear
complex, officials said Monday, as
emergency crews struggled to pump
out hundreds of tons of contaminat-
ed water and bring the plant back
under control.
Officials believe the contaminated
water has sent radioactivity levels
soaring at the coastal complex and
caused more radiation to seep into
soil and seawater. Crews also found
traces of plutonium in the soil out-
side of the complex on Monday, but
officials insisted there was no threat
to public health.
Plutonium — a key ingredient in
nuclear weapons — is present in the
fuel at the complex, which has been
leaking radiation for over two
weeks, so experts had expected
some to be found once crews began
searching for evidence of it this
week.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. official
Jun Tsuruoka said only two of the
plutonium samples taken Monday
were from the leaking reactors. The
other three were from earlier
nuclear tests. Years of weapons test-

complex, and destroyed the crucial
power systems needed to cool the
complex’s nuclear fuel rods.
Since then, three of the complex’s
six units are believed to have par-
tially melted down, and emergency
crews have struggled with every-
thing from malfunctioning pumps to
dangerous spikes in radiation that
have forced temporary evacuations.
Amid crisis, hunt for
better radiation care
By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Japan’s
nuclear emergency highlights a big
medical gap: Few treatments exist
to help people exposed to large
amounts of radiation.
But some possibilities are in the
pipeline — development of drugs
to treat radiation poisoning, and the
first rapid tests to tell who in a pan-
icked crowd would really need
them.
The U.S. calls these potential
products “countermeasures,” and
they’re part of the nation’s prepara-
tions against a terrorist attack, such
as a dirty bomb. But if they work,
they could be useful in any kind of
radiation emergency.
“Thinking of terrorist events is
what drives us. Mother Nature can
be much of a terror, too,” says Dr.
Robin Robinson, who heads the

federal Biomedical Advanced
Research and Development
Authority, or BARDA, that funds
late-stage research of products the
government deems most likely to
pan out.
BARDA has invested $164 mil-
lion for research into anti-radiation
treatment candidates since 2008,
and $44 million for radiation test-
ing — in hopes of adding such
products to the nation’s emergency
medical stockpile soon. That’s in
addition to research dollars from
the National Institutes of Health
and the Defense Department.
Japan’s crisis — where last week
two nuclear plant workers were
hospitalized for radiation burns —
is sure to renew attention to a field
that’s long been overshadowed by
the hunt for protections against
bioterrorism, not radiological
emergencies. Among the radiation

was not a surprise as McDougall specifically
asked the jury during closing arguments to
convict. But the attempted murder charges
and attendant allegations that Youshock pre-
meditated and intended to kill are less certain.
Even after a decision is made on these two
points, Youshock’s sanity will still be in ques-
tion.
Although Guidotti portrayed Youshock, 18,
as a highly-functioning person despite likely
mental issues, McDougall claimed schizo-
phrenia left him unable to form intent. The
jury’s verdict, read Monday morning, sided
with Guidotti’s argument but McDougall will
soon have a second chance at convincing
members his client was debilitated by mental
illness during the months leading up to the
failed Aug. 24, 2009 attack and that morning
he walked onto campus with 10 homemade
pipe bombs, a chain saw, 10-inch sword and
other accouterments meant to trap teachers
and protect himself from blood splatter.
Youshock pleaded not guilty by reason of
insanity to two counts of attempted murder

projects considered farthest along in develop-
ment:
• Rapid tests that could spot dangerous radi-
ation doses with mere finger-pricks of blood.
Already, a prototype machine sits at New
York’s Columbia University that could check
thousands of people.
• Some drugs now used to help cancer
patients boost their infection-fighting blood

may do the same thing for radiation victims.

der, one count of possession of a destructive
device in a public place, one count of the use
of explosives in an act of terrorism and two
counts of possession of a deadly weapon.
The plea means after jurors decide on the
final two charges, they must listen to evidence
in a sanity phase to decide if he should be
incarcerated or hospitalized. If they choose
the latter, Youshock will be sent to a state hos-
pital for a minimum of 90 days and then pos-
sibly released. If the jury finds he was sane at
the time, Youshock could be sent to prison for
life. Youshock remains in custody without
bail.
One attempted murder charge has split the
jury which is questioning if it was premeditat-
ed.
Torres, who ran into the hallway where
Youshock tried unsuccessfully to start his
chain saw, jumped back when he threw the
bomb or else it would have struck her upper
legs, Guidotti told jurors during closing argu-
ments Wednesday.
In contrast to the short time frame Youshock
purportedly decided to kill Torres, he spent
five months planning the school attack in
which to kill three teachers, including chem-
istry instructor Meghan Spalding for which he
was charged with the other count of premedi-
tated attempted murder. In a journal,
Youshock listed teachers’ names, including
Spalding, with the word “guilty.”
• An injection that saved monkeys from
highly lethal beams. It seems to protect the
body’s two most radiation-sensitive spots, the
bone marrow and lining of the gut.
Today, there are only a few proven therapies
for radiation injuries. Good supportive care —
lots of fluids, infusions of blood-clotting
platelets, and infection-fighting antibiotics —
is key for acute radiation syndrome, an overall
poisoning that can begin causing symptoms
days to weeks after a super-high exposure. To
guard against longer-term harm, doses of
potassium iodide can protect against future
thyroid cancer by shielding the thyroid from
one type of fallout, radioactive iodine. A few
other treatments can help the body eliminate
radioactive cesium and a few other isotopes.
“If the plan had worked, she would be dead
and so would I,” he told jurors a week ago.
Youshock, by his own testimony, was
unhappy at Hillsdale High School but didn’t
begin plotting in earnest until March 2009
after watching news coverage of a German
school shooting. He sold belongings for
money to buy pipe bomb needs such as PVC
piping, used his birthday money to buy a
chain saw he named “Collie” after the
Columbine massacre and convinced his moth-
er to purchase explosive chemicals online by
claiming to make bottle rocket engines. After
his arrest, officers found a thumb drive in his
bedroom containing a film manifesto in which
he spoke of plans to kill teachers and leave
Principal Jeff Gilbert to live with the guilt.
There were also clips of his making black
powder and practicing with the chain saw.
On the morning in question, he asked his
mother to drop him near the school by claim-
ing to be filming with a friend at a nearby
park.
Instead, he headed to the classroom build-
ing housing Spalding’s room with a soft gui-
tar case carrying the chain saw and a back-
pack containing a tactical vest with the
bombs, the sword, door stoppers to trap teach-
ers, fingerless gloves to better grip any of his
six BIC lighters and a face shield to protect
himself from blood splatter. After the chain
saw noise drew attention, Youshock threw two
Part of the challenge is radiation’s variety of
injuries — burns, bone marrow and gastroin-
testinal damage, lung scarring, the later-in-life
cancer risk. Yet outside of an immediate blast
zone where open wounds and burns make
injury clear, there’s no fast way to tell who got
a huge dose.
Those Geiger counter-style monitors used
on power-plant workers in Japan? They detect
contamination on clothing or skin that might
not enter the body, not what the body has
absorbed, says medical physicist David
Brenner, director of Columbia’s Center for
Radiological Research.

shown that sheer stress can cause nausea and

pipe bombs that injured no one including the
weapon lobbed at Torres. He ran toward the
middle of campus but was tackled by English
language development teacher Kennet
Santana and other staff who held him until
police arrived to take over and cut away the
volatile vest.
McDougall, and several doctors he called
during trial, said Youshock likely had schizo-
phrenia which made him misinterpret the
teachers’ and Gilbert’s prodding to participate
and do homework as attempts to ruin his life.
The defense said Youshock began hearing
voices in eighth grade and, by the time of the
attack, was subsisting on cheeseburgers, little
sleep and two-hour showers. He remained in
his room, playing video games, and thought
people were following him, McDougall
argued.
Using a “reasonable person standard” to
evaluate his guilt doesn’t work,” McDougall
told jurors.
Guidotti claimed his issues are real but have
been exploited and exaggerated for the sake of
his defense.
Even with the disease, Youshock is very
high-functioning with cognitive abilities, two
of the doctors said.
They also said he may just have a schizoid
personality disorder that leaves him unat-
tached to human relationships and flat but is

radiation sickness in people who weren’t
exposed, he adds.
“Before you can start to treat people, you
need to know what radiation doses they got,”
Brenner says. “If you take a guess and get it
wrong, you might do more harm than good.”
So his team developed a way to detect early,
DNA-based signs of radiation damage that
estimated dose — using a drop of blood like
diabetics use to test their blood sugar.
Brenner’s team built a robotic machine
named RABiT — for “rapid automated bio-
dosimetry tool” — that can analyze those
bloodspots quickly. The eventual goal is to be
able to test 30,000 blood samples in a day.
Brenner is working with Northrop Grumman
to make the machinery smaller, even portable.

No threat from Japanese radiation spread across U.S.
By Randolph E. Schmid
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Traces of radioactive
material from the endangered Japanese
nuclear plant are being detected from coast to
coast in the United States and in Iceland, but
amounts continue to be far below levels that
would cause health problems.
The development of super-sensitive equip-
ment to detect radiation is both a blessing and
a curse, allowing scientists to monitor materi-
als released in nuclear accidents, but also caus-
ing unnecessary worry, said Kathryn Higley,
director of the nuclear engineering and radia-
tion health physics at Oregon State University.
Traces of radioactive cesium and iodine are
being reported from Nevada to Vermont, South
Carolina to Massachusetts, thanks to equip-
ment that Higley says can detect material
“many orders of magnitude below what would
be hazardous.”
The traces of radiation outside of Japan are
“absolutely of no concern,” added Ahmed
Hassanein, head of nuclear engineering at the
Purdue School of Nuclear Engineering.
Curiously, one spot where extremely small
amounts of the radioactive isotopes were
detected was Las Vegas’ Atomic Testing
Museum, about 65 miles from the desert site
where the United States tested atomic bombs
in the 1950s.
Ted Hartwell, manager of environmental
monitoring at the Desert Research Institute,
said he’s certain the isotopes came from Japan
because they’re not usually detected in
Nevada. But he said the readings were far
below levels that could pose any health risks.
Gerhard Wotawa of Austria’s Central
Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics,
said the amounts of radiation detected so far

were a fraction of what people are normally
exposed to, adding that doctors, pilots and oth-
ers are often confronted with much higher
concentrations.
He also said that several types of material
flung into the air at the Chernobyl plant 25
years ago are not turning up in the aftermath of
the Fukushima accident because there has
been no explosion to propel these heavier ele-
ments in the atmosphere.
Graham Andrew, a senior aide to
International Atomic Energy Agency chief
Yukiya Amano, said it was too early to com-

pare Chernobyl and Fukushima, but also sug-
gested that to some degree the two accidents
are like comparing apples and oranges.
“In the case of Chernobyl there was a large
graphite fire that lifted radioactivity to high
altitudes and spread it over large distances,” he
said. “To the best of my knowledge, there has
not been that process in the case of
Fukushima.“
Highly sensitive equipment to detect radia-
tion was first developed to make sure countries
were observing the nuclear test ban treaty,
Higley explained, and more recently there has

been a focus on preventing terrorism.
In addition, she noted, iodine-131 is often
used in medical treatments, meaning it may be
released around manufacturing plants and also
in wastewater from hospitals where people
undergo treatment. Indeed, she noted, radia-
tion detectors are scattered around her univer-
sity and at others where researchers work with
radioactive isotopes.
Recent increases in levels of iodine and
cesium are being attributed to the Japan
release because of the timing and tracking of
winds from the region. Southern utility com-
panies on Monday said air monitors at power
plants in Florida and South Carolina had
detected iodine-131, which they concluded
was coming from Japan.
Unlike Chernobyl when the isotopes were
blasted high into the stratosphere where it
could spread quickly, the radiation from Japan
has remained in the lower atmosphere, noted
Ross J. Salawitch, a University of Maryland
researcher who has been tracking the plume
from Japan.
Jeffrey Stehr, an atmospheric research scien-
tist at the University of Maryland, said that
while the radiation from Japan has been wide-
ly detected, it could take as much as a year to
spread throughout the Northern Hemisphere.
It could take another year before it is wide-
spread in the Southern Hemisphere because of
blocking at the equator caused by rising air
currents where winds from north and south
collide.
While memories of the Chernobyl disaster
in what is now Ukraine have raised concerns,
the amounts of radioactive material released in
Japan have been much less than at that event.,
said William H. Miller, a professor at the
University of Missouri Research Reactor.

For the past four years, the Service
League has expanded exponentially
under the guidance of Mike Nevin, a for-
mer county supervisor, Daly City mayor
and San Francisco police officer.
Nevin has taken advantage of the cur-
rent economy to expand what he calls the
best service the league provides — Hope
Houses. In 1990, the Service League
opened the first Hope House, a residen-
tial program lasting anywhere from six
months to a year that helps people transi-
tion successfully back into society after
they have been released from jail. In the
four years Nevin has been executive
director, he has purchased four proper-
ties. There are now six Hope Houses
offering separate residential treatment to
men and women.
“We’ve been able to buy four proper-
ties,” said Nevin. “We’ve been lucky,
because we’ve been able to buy during
the down market.”
While the Hope Houses offer residen-
tial treatment following incarceration,
the league also provides assistance to
those still in jail.
“We have programs specifically for
women, to help with alcohol and drug
addiction,” said Nevin. “We have people
working in the jail message center, serv-
ing as liaisons. There are two libraries,
one recreational and one legal, for pris-
oners. We help with Project Read, people
get their credentials through us to go in.”

funding stream and relies on contribu-

Francisco Municipal Transportation
Agency for survival.
Short-term solutions offered up by the
MTC include diverting about $5 million
from the Dumbarton Rail project and
the repayment of part of a loan from
VTA for $7 million.
A fund swap could also divert money
into operations, away from capital proj-
ects.
Caltrain’s problems essentially stem
from SamTrans’ own problems as it too
faces a nearly $11 million deficit next
fiscal year.
SamTrans has reduced its contribu-
tion to Caltrain by nearly $10 million
the past two years and Muni and VTA
have followed suit.
SamTrans’ Chief Executive Officer
Michael Scanlon said last week he
hopes the proposed solutions from the
MTC, including a possible fund swap,
could help minimize the service reduc-
tions and keep more than 48 trains run-
ning during weekdays next fiscal year.
Although Lim’s resolution to have the
JPB wait for MTC solutions may be
only symbolic, South San Francisco

The council will approve the water
rate increase in the coming months after
a public notification and hearing.
In years past, Estero was able to mini-
mize the impact to residents by offset-
ting SFPUC’s rate hikes but that may no
longer be the case as discretionary funds
are drying up.
Foster City works in five-year finan-
cial plans and is looking closely at capi-
tal projects and other city services for
cost savings.
The council will consider raising
wastewater rates, which capital projects
to pursue, whether to replace aging vehi-
cles or purchase new equipment and to
continue to fund shuttles for seniors as it
moves to adopt a budget this June.

League’s office, helping with the mes-
sage center and talking to the families of
the incarcerated and those recently
released from jail.
Her time at the Hope House was any-
thing but easy. Up at 6 a.m. every day,
she and the other residents would exer-
cise and attend two classes before break-
ing for lunch. Afternoons were spent
attending two more classes, followed by
dinner and a little free time before a
group meeting and time for journaling
and reflection.
“We really try to teach practical skills,”
said Nevin. “Each Thursday, there’s a
cooking class. We got a grant for a teach-
ing kitchen. We bring in Stanford profes-
sors to teach some of the classes, and
they just love it. We got a grant to build a
state-of-the-art gym. We really focus on
treating the whole person.”
“It’s really great for women and their
families,” Fregon said of the programs
offered not just at the Hope House, but
also to those seeking help from the
Service League in general.
Nevin agrees.
“The idea is to show them their worth
as a human being,” he said. “The recidi-
vism rate in California is around 75 per-
cent, but our success rate is 70 percent
the other way. We have 70 percent that
don’t end up back in jail.”
One of the most important factors in
maintaining such positive numbers is
helping clients develop positive relation-
ships with each other. The women, in
particular, support each other after leav-
ing jail. A group of Hope House alumni
meets each week to offer advice and
camaraderie to one another.
“If you give people not a handout, but
a hand, they begin to see their own
value,” said Nevin. “You give them an
opportunity to feel their feelings.”
even be a good thing for South San
Francisco,” Matsumoto said of Lim’s
resolution.
As chair of the SamTrans board,
Matsumoto’s mission is to make sure
that bus service is maintained in the
county.
“We had to cut our funding to Caltrain
as to not impact bus service,”
Matsumoto said.
Lim will introduce the resolution
because he sees Caltrain as a vital serv-
ice to his city.
“This resolution would send a clear
message that the city of San Mateo
appreciates the efforts to resolve this
financial crisis without resorting to
drastic rhetoric and that we stand with
our fellow city and county representa-
tives in recognizing the important
impact Caltrain has in all cities,” Lim
wrote.
The City Council will consider Lim’s
resolution at its April 4 meeting, three
days before the JPB next meets.
Timing is critical for the JPB, because
it must properly notify the public of fare
increases or station closures well before
July 1, when the next fiscal year starts,
Ahmad said.
“I have no problem with the effort in
San Mateo,” Ahmad said. “At some
point, though, we must inform the pub-
lic of changed schedules and station clo-
sures.”
MTC help could allow Caltrain to run
somewhere between a low of 48 trains
to the current 86 trains the agency cur-
rently operates.
planned for May.
Earlier this year, the council voted to
place an increase to the hotel tax on the
November ballot. Foster City residents
will decide whether to tax out-of-town
visitors an extra 2 percent to stay at the
city’s two hotels.
Revenue from the tax is expected to
generate about $300,000 a year.
Foster City, however, has a healthy
reserve of nearly $17 million.
The city intends to have a fully bal-
anced budget by the end of fiscal year
2012-13 without dipping into its
reserves. The city’s general fund budget
is about $31 million.
The council is expected to adopt the
budget at its June 20 meeting.

There is a good chance that in the next year you’ll
be quite fortunate in areas where you had no luck
previously. For example, Dame Fortune may offer you
numerous new ways to generate as much additional
earnings as you desire.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Good stuff is in store,
and it will increase in intensity with every new
activity you undertake. The more you run around and
circulate, the more good things can occur.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t be afraid to strive
for large goals that usually tax all of your capabilities,
because the harder you try to reach them, the luckier
you will become.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your grasp of situations
will be vast and accurate, and you’ll ably handle both
social and commercial involvements. Put your ideas
into practice the way you think it should be done.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Something profitable
might come your way that could generate far more
revenue than your usual way of securing funds. What
you tap into is likely to be extremely lucrative.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Follow your impulses
regarding partnership arrangements. Instinctively,
you’ll know how to handle things that will be to your
advantage, and to that of all others involved.
