CAN OBAMA WOO HIS WAY OUT OF
CONFLICT WITH GOP?
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Two Redwood City residents poi-
soned by carbon monoxide earlier
this year are suing their landlord,
claiming the company ignored
PG&Es demands to repair a
clogged wall heater in their apart-
ment and hired an unlicensed con-
tractor whose work did not x the
problem.
Carthan Bland and Brulandra
Warren were both hospitalized in
January for dizziness, headaches,
fatigue and chest pain related to car-
bon monoxide poisoning, according
to the suit led March 7 in San
Mateo County Superior Court.
Bland was also treated three times
in a hyperbaric chamber and has
continuing numbness in his left
hand, the suit states.
Since April 2008, Bland and
Warren rented a unit at Hallmark
House Apartments on Woodside
Road operated by property manage-
ment company KDF Hallmark, LP.
In October, they began experiencing
the physical symptoms, including
shortness of breath and memory
loss. By January, the suit states the
couple called 911 after their carbon
monoxide detector began beeping
and the Redwood City Fire
Two suing apartment operator for poisoning
Pair claims wall heater unleashed unsafe levels of carbon monoxide

BART, hoping to see more small businesses secure lucra-
tive contracts with the transit agency, is actively courting
them for across the board services ranging from engineer-
ing to legal needs.
The push by the board of the Bay Area Rapid Transit sys-
tem could prove an economic boon to the entire Bay Area,
including the Peninsula and San Mateo County. The small
business initiative was considered by the Board of
Directors last July as a way to increase the amount of fed-
eral and state-funded projects awarded locally, especially
to businesses that are social and economically disadvan-
taged or who employ veterans.
Many of the plans came directly from the public, BART
boardmember Lynette Sweet said after the July meeting.

Crochet artist Lorna Watt now knows
where most of the payphones are in
downtown San Mateo. She did not a few
months ago.
She does because she decided to yarn
bomb a payphone on First Avenue and B
Street next to Jeffreys Hamburgers. She
covered it to make it appear like a giant
iPhone.
The payphone is broken, it has no
receiver, and Watt routinely watches
passersby react to her makeshift art instal-
lation since she lives close by.
What has she noticed?
People walk right by it without hardly
seeing it because they are busy on their
smartphones.
I wasnt sure what statement I was
making at first, Watt told the Daily
Journal.
She looks at the yarn bomb now as an
inspiration to digitally detox to put
down the smartphones and other gizmos
and take time to relax.
She is the founder of Knits for Life, an
online retail shop, and is moving toward
making it a full-time business this year
after working on it part time for about
three years.
Her big sellers are chain-link scarves
and winter hats. On the side, however, she
has taken to covering chairs and other
items with textured yarn and is starting to
display them in art galleries.
Yarn bombing is a new type of street art
that has spread across the world but Watt
does not know any other artists locally
who have taken to the medium.
She has also put elf booties on mail-
boxes in downtown San Mateo and cro-
cheted some geometric patterns on fences
near the Seal Point Dog Park in San
Mateo.
It is a new type of grafti, she said, that
does not have to be painted over. It can
simply be taken down.
She loves yarn bombing and asks her-
self what else can I cover?
What else can I cover?

Todays Highlight in History:
On March 11, 1888, the Blizzard of 88, also known as the
Great White Hurricane, began inundating the northeastern
United States, resulting in some 400 deaths.
On this date:
In 1513, Giovanni de Medici was proclaimed pope, succeed-
ing Julius II; he took the name Leo X.
In 1861, the Constitution of the Confederate States of America
was adopted by the Confederate Congress in Montgomery, Ala.
In 1862, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln
removed Gen. George B. McClellan as general-in-chief of the
Union armies, leaving him in command of the Army of the
Potomac, a post McClellan also ended up losing.
In 1930, former President and Chief Justice William Howard
Taft was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
In 1959, the Lorraine Hansberry drama A Raisin in the Sun
opened at New Yorks Ethel Barrymore Theater.
In 1965, the Rev. James J. Reeb, a white minister from Boston,
died after being beaten by whites during civil rights distur-
bances in Selma, Ala.
In 1977, more than 130 hostages held in Washington, D.C. by
Hana Muslims were freed after ambassadors from three
Islamic nations joined the negotiations.
In 1985, Mikhail S. Gorbachev was chosen to succeed the late
Soviet President Konstantin U. Chernenko.
In 1993, Janet Reno was unanimously conrmed by the Senate
to be attorney general.
In 2004, ten bombs exploded in quick succession across the
commuter rail network in Madrid, Spain, killing 191 people
and wounding more than 2,000 in an attack linked to al-Qaida-
inspired militants.

Soda size rule eyed from
coffee shops to clubs
NEW YORK At barbecue joints,
coffee counters and bottle-service night-
clubs, a coming clampdown on big, sug-
ary soft drinks is beginning to take shape
on tables and menus in a city that thrives
on eating and going out.
Some restaurants are ordering smaller
glasses. Dunkin Donuts shops are
telling customers theyll have to sweeten
and avor their own coffee. Coca-Cola
has printed posters explaining the new
rules, and a bowling lounge is squeezing
carrot and beet juice as a potential sub-
stitute for pitchers of soda at family par-
ties all in preparation for the nations
rst limit on the size of sugar-laden bev-
erages, set to take effect Tuesday.
Some businesses are holding off, hop-
ing a court challenge nixes or at least
delays the restriction. But many are get-
ting ready for tasks including reprinting
menus and changing movie theaters
supersized soda-and-popcorn deals.
At Brother Jimmys BBQ, customers
still will be able to order margaritas by
the pitcher, cocktails in jumbo Mason
jars and heaping plates of ribs. But
theyll no longer get 24-ounce tumblers
of soda, since the new rule bars selling
non-diet cola in cups, bottles or pitchers
bigger than 16 ounces.
Everything we do is big, so serving it
in a quaint little 16-ounce soda cups is
going to look kind of odd, owner Josh
Lebowitz said. Nonetheless,
hes ordered 1,000 of them for
the North Carolina-themed
restaurants five Manhattan
locations, rather than take on
a ght that carries the threat of
$200 nes.
As long as they keep allow-
ing us to serve beer in glasses
larger than 16 ounces, well be
OK, Lebowitz reasoned.
Beer drinkers can breathe easy:
The restriction doesnt apply to
alcoholic beverages, among
other exemptions for various rea-
sons. But it does cover such bev-
erages as energy drinks and
sweetened fruit smoothies.
City ofcials say its a pioneering,
practical step to staunch an obesity rate
that has risen from 18 to 24 percent in a
decade among adult New Yorkers.
Health ofcials say sugar-lled drinks
bear much of the blame because they
carry hundreds of calories a 32-ounce
soda has more than a typical fast-food
cheeseburger without making people
feel full.
The city has the ability to do this and
the obligation to try to help, the plans
chief cheerleader, Mayor Michael
Bloomberg, said last month.
Critics say the regulation wont make
a meaningful difference in diets but will
unfairly hurt some businesses while
sparing others. A customer who cant get
a 20-ounce Coke at a sandwich shop
could still buy a Big Gulp at a 7-Eleven,
for instance, since many con-
venience stores and super-
markets are beyond the citys
regulatory reach.
New Yorkers are divided
on the restriction. A
Quinnipiac University poll
released last week found 51
percent opposed it, while 46
percent approved.
I dont know if the state
should be our surrogate parent,
Peter Sarfaty, 71, said as he
drank a diet cola with lunch in
Manhattan this week. You get
the information out there, but to
tell people what they can or cant
do? As if its going to stop them.
Business organization ranging from
the massive American Beverage
Association to a local Korean-American
grocers group have asked a judge to
stop the size limit from taking effect
until he decides on their bid to block it
altogether. He hasnt ruled on either
request.
Many businesses arent taking
chances in the meantime.
Dominic Fazio, the manager of a Penn
Station pizzeria, has stopped ordering
32-ounce and 24-ounce cups, though he
calls the regulation ridiculous.
But I guess the law is the law, right?
said Fazio, who put up an explanatory
sign Coca-Cola Co. provided. The
Atlanta-based soda giant said in a state-
ment that helping small businesses pre-
pare was the responsible thing to do.

S
hazam, Whoom, Bam, POW! These
words and sounds became music to
my ears in the 1940s. The superheroes
had arrived. Superman, then Batman, began to
become my world although they had their
beginning in the 1930s. Actually, these super-
heroes had deeper roots than I thought they
had and much of the groundwork for their
style and substance began in the newspapers
in the early 1930s. The comic book format
was introduced in 1932 although most thought
it was only a fad and would not last. They
were newspaper strips at rst in a weird for-
mat with very little dialogue and funny word
"balloon captions coming from the mouths of
the characters. The characters, such as
Superman, wore capes, had heightened pow-
ers, high-human strength, were very athletic
and always in peak condition, skilled in hand-
to-hand combat, and moved in stealth fashion
and appeared out of nowhere. He, however,
lived in our type of world although he had
come from another planet.
For 10 cents, you could buy a 8-inch by 10-
inch, brightly decorated "booklet that
grabbed your attention and had funny men
wearing masks and gloves, running around in
tights. Actually they werent funny to young
boys. They were serious gures that somehow
conveyed a message that I and almost every
other young boy understood. The 30s had
been mired in a depression and this was fol-
lowed by World War II.
The world seemed to be in a state of chaos
but the comic books offered a release that was
hard to
understand.
The charac-
ters lived in
our real
world and
the first
superhero,
Superman,
fought for
justice and
freedom of
the individ-
ual. I could
relate to
that.
By the
late 1930s, another character was introduced
Batman. Bruce Wayne, who became
Batman, had witnessed his parents murdered
and he was out to avenge this crime as well as
other injustices. Later, in 1941, he picked up a
sidekick Robin.
The 30s were a time of striving to survive.
The economic situation offered little to most
families and kids strove to amuse themselves
with what today would be unheard of activi-
ties. I collected bottle caps from the soda dis-
pensers at the grocery stores. I had collected a
huge box full and constructed castles and
walls on the oor at night (television didnt
exist at this time). It passed the time. When
comic books made their appearance, I could-
nt afford the dime to buy one each month so
I waited until my buddies had read theirs. I
collected all that I could and kept them in the
store room at our house after reading and
rereading them a hundred times. Before I
nally got rid of them because my mother
kept falling over them, I had collected two
stacks of them that were three feet tall.
The success and impact on our society was
remarkable. Almost overnight, the publishing
houses, DC Comics and Marvel Comics,
being the main publishers, sold millions of
copies per year. Fifteen million were sold in
1942 and that increased to 25 million in 1943.
In 1953, 100 million copies were sold.
More characters were introduced as success
followed success. In the 1940s, Flash,
Hawkman, the Green Lantern with Captain
America appearing wearing a U.S. ag outt
during World War II. In 1941, Charles Mouton
Marston created Wonder Woman, a female
counterpart for the exclusively male charac-
ters up to that time.
Saturday serials in movie houses appeared
as well as radio programs.
In the 1950s, Congress and many parents
decided that this popular type of booklet had
to be controlled and the Senate Subcommittee
on Juvenile Delinquency investigated the
comic book industry. A Comic Code
Authority was formed to control the content
that comic books could include in these books
that were being sold mainly to the youth.
Their Seal of Approval was now required and
certain subjects, such as homosexuality and
drugs, could not be included in the publica-
tions.
The maturity of the American audience
changed and Spider-Man and the Fantastic
Four with themes related to your right to live
and exist. Later, the Incredible Hulk brought
us into the Atomic Age.
In 1966, a Batman series appeared on tele-
vision. The popularity of Batman and
Superman continues to this day and their
antics have been made into movies. Wonder
Woman, staring Lynda Carter, had a television
series from 1975 to 1979.

Obituary
Three people killed, one injured
in fatal crash on Eastmoor Avenue
Three people were killed and one injured in a motor vehicle
crash in Daly City, re ofcials said Saturday.
The crash at 101 Eastmoor Ave. was reported at 8:15 p.m.,
according to North County Fire Authority spokesman Matt
Lucett.
Fireghters extricated victims from one vehicle, but three
were declared dead at the scene, Lucett said. A fourth victim
was taken to a hospital for further evaluation and treatment.
Daly City police are investigating the crash, Lucett said.
Police reminding residents to secure
homes after overnight burglary
Police are investigating a burglary at a Hillsborough home
where a back door was left unlocked overnight.
Ofcers got a report around 7 a.m. Saturday that electronics
and other valuables had been stolen from a home near Summit
Drive while the residents were away, Sgt. Patrick Barrett said.
That is pretty standard for a residential burglary people
will take things that can be pawned, he said.
Ofcers determined that one or more suspects entered the
home through an unlocked side gate and unlocked back door,
according to police.
Police are reminding residents to secure their homes and
activate any alarm systems before leaving.
Anyone with information about the burglary is asked to call
Hillsborough police at (650) 375-7470
Suspicious man reported on Vine Street,
police warn of possible burglary threat
A suspicious man rang the doorbell on a home in San Carlos
Thursday morning in what police said could have been a pos-
sible burglary attempt.
The subject rang a doorbell at a home on the 200 block of
Vine Street around 9:10 a.m., and asked the resident if Tony
was home, according to the San Mateo County Sheriffs
Ofce.
The resident told the subject no one by that name lived at
that address.
The incident was suspicious because there have been a large
number of burglaries recently up and down the Peninsula,
sheriffs ofce ofcials said.
In many of these burglaries, suspects case a home by knock-
ing on the door to determine if anyone is home, and asking an
innocent question if someone answers the door.
The subject in Thursdays incident was described as a
Hispanic male, around 5 feet 10 to 6 feet tall, with a thin build.
Deputies were unable to locate him in the area.

Iranian Americans looking for help need
to look no further than Pars Equality
Center.
Founded in 2010 by Bita Daryabari, who
now serves as the nonprots executive
director, the organization has grown to
include another location in Menlo Park. It
offers a variety of services to both new
immigrants and those who are part of the
greater community.
We are here to ensure that our commu-
nity is served in the best way possible, and
Pars Equality Center truly blossomed this
past year. We continue to introduce new
programs in the areas of social and legal
services that are improving lives,
Daryabari said in a press release about the
expansion.
Daryabari ed to the United States in
1985 after the 1979 Iran hostage crisis
which recently was the focus of Oscar-
winning lm Argo. She noted the climate
in the United States has been challenging
for Iranian Americans and Iranian immi-
grants, which is why she started the Pars
Equality Center. The goal is to two-fold: To
help educate the public about the positive
contributions that Iranian Americans are
making to the country and also bringing
the Iranian community together.
Law Department Director Nazy Fahimi
joined the team about a
year ago. She wanted
to do something more
fullling with her law
degree. Fahimi now
gets to work closer
with individuals who
might need help while
also making a differ-
ence in her own ethnic
community.
Sometimes helping simply means hold-
ing a persons hand through an unfamiliar
process. Fahimi recalled a couple in
Georgia who was being harassed by neigh-
bors. They were able to connect the couple
to the right people who could help.
I actually seen the impact working one
on one, talking to a community member
and directly giving tangible help, she said.
In another example, Fahimi mentioned a
large family who immigrated with their
ve children with one on the way. PEC was
able to offer social support, to help the
family navigate an unfamiliar school sys-
tem and get housing. Through volunteers,
the family was also able to get access to
pro bono dental work, she said.
Its through the supportive community,
both Iranian and American volunteers, that
PEC can offer help to families. Volunteers
also help PEC offer services ranging from
Center gives support
to Iranian Americans

SAN JOSE On a morning the
stock market was sailing to a record
high and a chilly storm was blowing
into Silicon Valley, Wendy Carle
stuck her head out of the tent she
calls home to nd city workers duct
taping an eviction notice to her im-
sy, apping shelter walls.
I have no idea where Im going
to go, she said, tugging on her
black sweatshirt over her brown
curls and scooping up Hero, an albi-

The Silicon Valley is adding jobs
faster than it has in more than a
decade as the tech industry roars
back. Stocks are soaring and for-
tunes are once again on the rise.
But a bleaker record is also being
set this year: Food stamp participa-
tion just hit a 10-year high, home-
lessness rose 20 percent in two
years, and the average income for
Hispanics, who make up one in four
Silicon Valley residents, fell to a
new low of about $19,000 a year
capping a steady 14 percent drop
over the past ve years, according to
the annual Silicon Valley Index
released by Joint Venture Silicon
Valley, representing businesses, and
the philanthropic Silicon Valley
Community Foundation.
Simply put, while the ultra-rich
are getting even richer, record num-
bers of Silicon Valley residents are
slipping into poverty.
In the midst of a national eco-
nomic recovery led by Silicon
Valleys resurgence, as measured by
corporate prots and record stock
prices, something strange is going
on in the Valley itself. Most people
are getting poorer, said Cindy
Chavez, executive director of San
Jose-based Working Partnerships
USA, a nonprot advocating for
affordable housing, higher mini-
mum wages and access to health
care.
Nowhere is this growing disparity
more obvious than this sprawling
and trash-strewn 28-acre tent city
that authorities are trying to clean
out. Beneath the sweeping shadow
and roar of jets soaring in and out of
nearby San Joses international air-
port, residents here say times are so
tight they have nowhere else to turn.

why cant they do something to

How is it that in an area so very

able to solve these problems. But
what we need is the collective will.
The causes for the growing dis-
parity are complex, but largely
come down to one thing: a very high

SACRAMENTO The growing
concern over hydraulic fracturing,
the technology that has led to an oil
and gas boom in many parts of the
country, has caught the attention of
California lawmakers as companies
seek to expand production in the
San Joaquin Valley oil elds.
At least eight bills proposing to
regulate or tax the industrys expan-
sion are under consideration in this
years legislative session. They
include proposals that would
require disclosure of the ingredients
used in fracking, which uses a high-
pressure blast of water and chemi-
cals to release oil from deep rock
formations, and ensure that drilling
companies have adequate plans for
handling wastewater and monitor-
ing groundwater.
A federal report last year identi-
fied the Monterey Shale, which
stretches from Kern Countys his-
toric oil elds north through the San
Joaquin Valley, as one of the largest
oil deposits in the nation. That fore-
cast helped re-ignite interest in the
reserve but also raised alarm among
environmental groups that see regu-
lators as favoring industry.
Several of the bills are from law-
makers who introduced fracking-
related legislation last session. After
those proposals failed, the state
Department of Conservation in
December released draft regulations
that the agency wants to approve
within the next 18 months. A hear-
ing on those draft rules is scheduled
for Wednesday in Bakerseld.
Oil drilling dates to the 19th cen-
tury in California, which was the
third-largest oil-producing state last
year, behind Texas and North
Dakota, according to data from the
U.S. Energy Information
Administration.
Fracking has been practiced for
decades, but its use on a larger scale
to release hard-to-access oil and gas
deposits in Texas, Pennsylvania and
North Dakota has raised fears about
potential effects on water quality
and public health.
New York, for example, has had a
moratorium on fracking since 2008.

WASHINGTON Republican
lawmakers said Sunday they wel-
come President Barack Obamas
courtship and suggested the fresh
engagement between the White
House and Congress might help
yield solutions to the stubborn
budget battle that puts Americans
jobs at risk.
Yet the lawmakers cautioned that
years of hurt feelings were unlikely
to heal simply because Obama
dined last week with Republican
lawmakers. They also said they
would not to
rush too quickly
into Obamas
embrace during
three scheduled,
and unusual, vis-
its to Capitol
Hill next week
to win them
over.
He is moving
in the right direction. Im proud of
him for doing it. I think its a great
thing, Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.,
said. Im welcoming (him) with
open arms. I think the president is
tremendously sincere. I dont think
this is just a political change in tac-
tic. I think he would actually like to
solve the problems of this country.
The White House charm offensive
comes as automatic spending cuts
have begun to take hold, and if
Washington does not block them,
they could cut jobs as varied as air
trafc controllers, meat inspectors
and Head Start teachers.
I hope that this is sincere, said
Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, chair-
man of the House Budget
Committee, who lunched with
Obama at the White House last
week. We had a very good, frank
exchange. But the proof will be in
the coming weeks as to whether or
not its a real, sincere outreach to
nd common ground.
His close friend, Rep. Cory
Gardner, R-Colo., said lawmakers
were unlikely to become fast friends
with Obama after four years of
being vilified in private and, in
some cases, public. I hope that hes
genuine. But I dont think were
going to be doing the Harlem Shake
any time soon together, Gardner
said.
Obama hopes this week to woo
lawmakers to help avert a coming
budget showdown the next dead-
line is March 27, when the current
short-term budget extension expires
and a government shutdown looms.
Yet Congress is scheduled to
leave town on March 22, meaning
the president is working on a short-
ened timeline to avert the latest cri-
sis. And the automatic spending
cuts, known as sequester, remain in
place despite both parties calling
them ill-conceived and -executed.
Senate Democrats said they were
ready to pass a spending measure to
pay for day-to-day federal opera-
tions through September. The meas-

LONG BEACH, N.Y. It
sounds like the premise for a new
reality TV series: Hurricane
House people scouring water-
side communities looking to buy
homes damaged by Superstorm
Sandy at a deep discount.
While there are bargains out
there, ranging from 10 percent off
pre-storm prices for upscale homes
on New Yorks Long Island and the
Jersey Shore to as much as 60 per-
cent off modest bungalows Staten
Island and Queens, its still very
much a game of buyer beware.
Not only are buyers are on the
hook for repairs and in some cases
total rebuilds, theyre also wading
into a host of potentially expensive
uncertainties about new ood maps
and future insurance rates, zoning
changes and updated building
codes.
Its totally changed the way I sell
real estate, said Lawrence
Greenberg, a sales associate with
Van Skiver Realtors, whose own
Mantoloking, N.J., office was
wrecked in the storm.
Prior to Sandy, prospective buyers
rarely mentioned issues such as
ood maps and building elevations
until the matter of ood insurance
came up often at closing. Now,
everybody asks the question of ele-
vation, Greenberg said. Even if
potential buyers plan to tear down
and build new, they ask about the
pending changes in ood maps pro-
posed by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, because ood
insurance rates will depend upon the
new zones.
There is no sign of a mass exodus
from shoreline communities. The
number of for-sale listings in
January in the 380 zip codes hit by
the storm was about 2 percent below
the same time last year, according to
online real estate information com-
pany Zillow Inc. That indicates that
most homeowners are rebuilding, or
have not yet decided how to proceed.
But real estate agents in New York
and New Jersey say the majority of
homes for sale in these areas have
some damage from the Oct. 29
storm, and it appears to them that a
rising number are being put on the
market as the spring home-buying
season approaches.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama is close to naming
Thomas Perez, a civil rights ofcial
in the Justice Department, as his
choice to head the Department of
Labor, two people familiar with the
process say.
His nomination could come as
early as Monday, the people familiar
with the process said Saturday. They
spoke on condition of anonymity
because they were not authorized to
speak prior to the ofcial announce-
ment.
If conrmed, Perez would replace
Hilda Solis, who resigned in
January.
White House spokesman Matt
Lehrich declined to comment.
Perez, 51, has led the Justice
Departments Civil Rights Division
since 2009 and previously served as
Marylands labor secretary. He is
expected to have solid support from
organized labor as well as the
Hispanic community, which is eager
to have representation in Obamas
second-term Cabinet.
Solis was the first Hispanic
woman to head an agency at the
Cabinet level. Perez was the rst
Latino elected to the Montgomery
County Council in Maryland, where
he served from 2002 to 2006.
Perez would come to the Labor
Department as Obama pushes a
major immigration overhaul, which
could include changes in how
employers hire guest workers.
Labor Department officials have
also taken a prominent role in sup-
porting Obamas effort to raise the
federal minimum wage from $7.25
to $9 an hour.
At the Justice Department, Perez

WASHINGTON Two years
after the nuclear crisis in Japan, the
top U.S. regulator says American
nuclear power plants are safer than
ever, though not trouble-free. A
watchdog group calls that assess-
ment overly rosy.
The performance is quite good,
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Chairman Allison Macfarlane said
in an interview with the Associated
Press.
All but ve of the nations 104
nuclear reactors were performing at
acceptable safety levels at the end of
2012, Macfarlane said, citing a
recent NRC report. You cant
engage that many reactors and not
have a few that are going to have
difculty, she said.
But the watchdog group, the
Union of Concerned Scientists, has
issued a scathing report saying near-
ly one in six U.S. nuclear reactors
experienced safety breaches last
year, due in part to weak oversight.
The group accused the NRC of tol-
erating the intolerable.
Using the agencys own data, the
scientists group said 14 serious inci-
dents, ranging from broken or
impaired safety equipment to a
cooling water leak, were reported
last year. Over the past three years,
40 of the 104 U.S. reactors experi-
enced one or more serious safety-
related incidents that required addi-
tional action by the NRC, the report
said.
The NRC has repeatedly failed
to enforce essential safety regula-
tions, wrote David Lochbaum,
director of the groups Nuclear
Safety Project and author of the
study. Failing to enforce existing
safety regulations is literally a gam-
ble that places lives at stake.
NRC ofcials disputed the report
and said none of the reported inci-
dents harmed workers or the public.
Monday marks the two-year
anniversary of the 2011 earth-
quake and tsunami that crippled
Japans Fukushima Dai-ichi
nuclear plant. U.S. regulators,
safety advocates and the industry
are now debating whether safety
changes imposed after the disaster
have made the nations 65 nuclear
plants safer.
New rules imposed by the NRC
require plant operators to install or
improve venting systems to limit
core damage in a serious accident
and set up sophisticated equipment
to monitor water levels in pools of
spent nuclear fuel.
The plants also must improve pro-
tection of safety equipment installed
after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror
attacks and make sure they can han-
dle damage to multiple reactors at
the same time.

KABUL, Afghanistan A series
of security problems and fractured
relations with Afghan leaders
plagued Defense Secretary Chuck
Hagels rst trip here as Pentagon
chief, including the Afghan presi-
dents accusations that the U.S. and
the Taliban are working in concert to
show that violence in the country will
worsen if most coalition troops leave.
The top U.S. commander in
Afghanistan, Gen. Joseph Dunford,
quickly rejected the charges
President Hamid Karzai made
Sunday as categorically false. But
the accusations were just the latest
in a series of disputes that have
frayed relations between the two
nations as the U.S. works to wind
down the war and turn the countrys
security over to the Afghans.
Speaking to reporters shortly after
Karzai made the comments,
Dunford said the Afghan leader has
never expressed such views to him
but said it was understandable that
tensions would arise as the coalition
balances the need to complete its
mission with the Afghans move to
exercise more sovereignty.
We have fought too hard over the
past 12 years, we have shed too
much blood over the past 12 years,
we have done too much to help the
Afghan security forces grow over
the last 12 years to ever think that
violence or instability would be to
our advantage, said Dunford.
Dunfords comments came, how-
ever, soon after U.S. ofcials can-
celled a news conference with Hagel
and Karzai because of a security
threat just a day after a suicide
bomber on a bicycle struck outside
the Afghan Defense Ministry, killing
nine Afghan civilians and wounding
14 others. Hagel heard the explosion
from the safe location where he was
meeting with Afghan ofcials but
was never in danger.
The security problems compound-
ed a series of are-ups in recent
weeks, including a dispute that has
stalled the transfer of a U.S. prison to
Afghan authority as well as Karzais
order to expel U.S. special operations
forces out of Wardak province, which
lies just outside the capital, because
of allegations that Afghans working
with the commandos were involved
in abusive behavior.
Hagel met with Karzai Sunday
night and said that he discussed all
the key issues with the president. He
also rejected any suggestions that the
U.S. is in collusion with the Taliban.
Speaking to reporters traveling with
him, Hagel declined to detail his con-
versation with Karzai but said, I
think he understands where we are
and where weve been, and hopefully
where were going together

LAHORE, Pakistan Hundreds
of Christians clashed with police
across Pakistan on Sunday, a day
after a Muslim mob burned dozens
of homes owned by members of the
minority religious group in retalia-
tion for alleged insults against
Islams Prophet Muhammad.
Christians are often the target of
Pakistans harsh blasphemy laws,
which rights activists say are fre-
quently used to persecute religious
minorities or settle personal dis-
putes. Politicians have been reluc-
tant to reform the laws for fear of
being attacked by religious radicals,
as has happened in the past.
The plight of Pakistans other reli-
gious minorities, such as Shiite
Muslims, Hindus and Ahmadis, has
also deepened in recent years as
hard-line interpretations of Islam
have gained ground and militants
have stepped up attacks against
groups they oppose. Most Pakistanis
are Sunni Muslims.
The latest incident began Friday
after a Muslim in the eastern city of
Lahore accused a Christian man of
blasphemy an offense punishable
by life in prison or even death. A
day later, hundreds of angry
Muslims rampaged through the
Christian neighborhood, burning
about 170 houses.
Authorities have arrested 160 sus-
pected members of the mob, many
of whom were identied through
TV footage and photos published in
newspapers, said police officer
Abdur Rehman.
But it remains to be seen whether
anyone will be held to account. Mob
violence is not uncommon follow-
ing blasphemy allegations, and
police often round up large numbers
of suspects. However, these arrests
rarely result in actual convictions.
There have been no convictions
related to a deadly attack on
Christians in 2009 in the eastern city
of Gojra that was also sparked by
blasphemy allegations, the Express
Tribune newspaper reported
Sunday.

San Mateo needs more
creative architecture
Editor,
The March 6 edition of the Daily
Journal had a photo or two of new con-
struction at Bay Meadows II (Bay
Meadows homes almost on market). I
regret to say that the architecture looks
old, tired and humdrum. It could just as
well be located in Cleveland or
Philadelphia as in San Mateo. In addi-
tion, the residences appear to be nearly
at curbside without setback. This repeats
a pattern of unimaginative, brutal and
boring architecture approved by the city
of San Mateo in recent years. The city
apparently does not recognize the oppor-
tunities for innovative, artistic design
presented by major developments along
the transit corridor.
Other examples of bad architecture
include the massive apartment structure
built at street side on El Camino Real,
across from Hillsdale Shopping Center.
The new project at the site of the old
Police Department on Delaware Street
practically leans out over the street. The
setback may satisfy code, but the struc-
ture sties the living spaces across on
the east side of Delaware. That design is
reminiscent of a mid-60s ofce building,
not a comforting residence for families.
The Kaiser building at Hillsdale and
Saratoga, across from the new Police
Department, is nothing more than a bor-
ing box out of the Kaiser archives with
new exterior trim work. A peculiar tres-
tle-like structure is on one end of Kaiser
that is brutish and oversized, with no
apparent use. Even the police building
across the street is a confusing mish-
mash of forms and shapes, with no
sense of the grace or grandeur expected
from a public building.
Where is the imagination, the drama,
the excitement that could be architec-
turally presented at these new develop-
ments?
Fortunately, we can enjoy the creative
and stately new San Mateo Main
Library near downtown.

C
alifornia Republican activists
gathered for their spring con-
vention last weekend in the
state capital and batted around a variety
of ideas for revitalizing the party.
Pick one: Stick to base principles
about the economy and social issues, or
adjust the partys principles to broaden
its appeal beyond older white voters
or merely adjust the way the party
expresses its principles to sound less
divisive? Mount an all-out challenge to
Gov. Jerry Brown in the 2014 election,
or focus instead on strengthening the
partys farm system with better candi-
dates in municipal and district races?
Rebuild methodically from party
nances on up, or (as Karl Rove, the
campaign guru for former President
George W. Bush, told delegates in a
speech) Get off your ass and ght
back aggressively?
California Republicans must pick one
and then rally around its familiar princi-
ples of scal restraint.
California needs a robust Republican
Party to serve as a foil for free-spending
Democrats. But the GOP here is any-
thing but robust now.
Republicans hold no statewide ofces.
They are weak in the Legislature against
Democrats two-thirds supermajority.
They lost ground here in the 2012 con-
gressional election. The state party is
heavily in debt.
These are all symptoms of the broader
problem: Republicans share of the state
voter rolls has shrunk to 29 percent (vs.
Democrats 44 percent). The GOPs
even-worse numbers among younger
generations and the growing Latino pop-
ulation suggest it must change to be a
party of the future.
Most younger Californians not to
mention most slightly older Californians
dont want a party that wants to run
their private lives, so theyre turned off
by conservatives who are xated on gay
marriage. Latinos wont join a party that
doesnt seem to welcome them and their
families, so a GOP that makes a priority
of hard-line immigration policies isnt
likely to win them over.
But younger Californians envisioning
a prosperous future, and people who
come to this country to share in a strong
economy, will recognize the value of a
GOP that makes a priority of promoting
responsible scal practices.
Its not a matter of abandoning conser-
vative principles on other issues its
about acknowledging differences of
opinion on social principles and then
emphasizing Republicans most popular
principle.
State voters can get behind an opposi-
tion party that stands ready to keep
Democrats honest in Sacramento on
spending issues.
There were positive signs at the state
GOP convention. Along with new chair-
man Jim Brulte, of the Inland Empire,
the party elected vice chairwoman
Harmeet Dhillon, of San Francisco, the
rst woman and the rst Sikh in that
position. The California Log Cabin
Republicans reported more party leader-
ship candidates than ever sought support
from the gay and lesbian group.
Maybe most encouraging, top
Republicans spoke of emphasizing the
partys libertarian streak on economic
and social issues. A scal focus by
Republicans will be best for the party
and, not coincidentally, best for the state.
How to fix Californias GOP
The time
is ripe
E
verywhere you look government seems to be in a
mess. Dysfunctional is the apt description of what is
happening in the U.S. Congress. Dysfunctional is an
apt description of what has happened to Californias initiative
process.
It wasnt meant to be this way. When Gov. Hiram Johnson
and his progressive allies fashioned direct democracy the
initiative, referendum and recall in 1911, these reforms
were meant to combat corrupt special interests and empower
individual citizens. Today,
the opposite has occurred.
The process for qualifying a
citizen initiative has resulted
in well-nanced organiza-
tions, including corporations
and interest groups, spending
millions of dollars, bypassing
the legislative process and
placing their pet projects or
policies directly in front of
voters. The initiative has
become a tool of special
interests and the mega rich.
On the November 2012 bal-
lot, $372 million was spent
to promote or attack 11
measures. The average voter is captive to deceptive and
expensive media advertising and frustrated by the length and
complexity of a ballot lled with issues he/she doesnt under-
stand.
But the time is ripe for change. Especially since a powerful
and well-respected legislator, Darrell Steinberg, California
Senate president pro tem, has made changing the process a
top priority.
***
Steinberg has put forth three major changes which he hopes
to place on the November 2014 ballot.
1). Require a 60-day cooling off period when an initiative
qualies to allow legislative review. Any change would have
to be agreed to by the sponsor before it went on the ballot.
This would correct an inexible system in which, once signa-
ture gathering is complete, no change can be made in the ini-
tiatives wording despite mistakes. This is known as indirect
democracy and is in use in 10 states. It might also reduce the
number of ballot measures.
2). Allow the Legislature to put statutory changes and their
own initiatives on the ballot-including tax increases with a
majority vote. This would avoid the situation when a spend-
ing measure would need to go through the initiative process
and obtain special interest money to pass, as in the recent
case of Proposition 30.
3). Provide a sunset provision in which laws enacted by
voters could be repealed by an act of the Legislature with the
governors signature after 10 years. A lot can change in 10
years and good governance demands exibility.
***
There are other possible reforms to make the current sys-
tem work better. The League of Women Voters has been
studying how to improve the initiative process for many
years. It now wants to update and review existing proposals
by holding a series of workshops throughout the state so its
members and the public can weigh in.
The Leagues list for possible action includes:
Limiting paid signature gatherers. Hiram Johnson envi-
sioned the initiative as a volunteer citizens effort, not a big
business;
Appropriate titling and summary before signatures are
gathered. As we all know, titles and descriptions of these
measures can often be deceiving;
Changing the time and number of signatures required to
qualify an initiative for the ballot; and
Full disclosure laws of ballot backers. Is this really a
locally inspired ballot measure or the work of some oil
tycoon in Texas?
Since direct democracy in California is much more accessi-
ble to groups which have signicant amounts of money, the
league is exploring ways to return the process to its original
intent to be a tool for the people. Money spent by propo-
nents before an initiative qualies for the ballot can deter-
mine which measures even get qualied. Some ideas to level
the playing eld include adjusting qualication requirements
to allow fewer signatures or allowing more time to qualify an
initiative.
If you want to add your voice or just become better
informed, attend the non-partisan leagues workshops 1 p.m.-
3 p.m. Tuesday, March 19 at the Silicon Valley Community
Foundation ofce at 1300 S. El Camino Real, San Mateo; or
7 p.m.-9 p.m. at the leagues ofce, 444 Peninsula Ave., Suite
1, San Mateo. The time is ripe for change!

The Des Moines (Iowa) Register
A
soldier shot in World War I
may not have been killed by
the initial wound. Yet there
was a good chance a subsequent infec-
tion would take his life. By World War
II, that soldier had a better chance of
survival due to the wide availability of
antibiotics. These miracles of modern
medicine ght infections and save lives.
But the vast majority of antibiotics
developed to treat people are given to
the animals people eat. Farmers add low
doses to feed and water to prevent dis-
ease in crowded livestock facilities. The
drugs also promote growth. A bigger
cow, pig, turkey or chicken translates
into more money for producers.
How does this widespread use in ani-
mals affect humans? It is killing us, a
growing number of scientists say.
Bacteria are adaptable little guys.
Over time, they develop a resistance to
commonly used antibiotics. Those more
resilient bacteria then move from ani-
mals to humans. The bacteria causing
everything from urinary tract infections
to pneumonia in humans are more dif-
cult to treat with common antibiotics.
Tens of thousands of Americans are
killed each year by drug-resistant infec-
tions. It costs the countrys health care
system billions of dollars.
So what should be done? Obviously,
there is a desperate need to develop new
antibiotics. People have heard by now
they should avoid overusing and misus-
ing these drugs, which can contribute to
resistance. But the extensive use of
antibiotics in agriculture and its cul-
pability in a human health crisis can-
not be ignored. Science isnt ignoring it.
Neither can Washington lawmakers. ..
At the very least, Congress should
require more reporting on what drugs
are being used on what animals so scien-
tists can better track the impact on
human health.
Its time for this country to care as
much about protecting human health as
growing big cows or chickens.

BUSINESS 10

NEW YORK Is it too late?
If youve stayed out of stocks recently, you
might be worried that youve missed your
chance to get back in. After all, they must be
expensive now that the Dow Jones industrial
average has risen 120 percent in four years to
a record high.
The good news is that stocks still seem a
good bet despite the run-up. The bad news:
Theyre no bargain, at least by some meas-
ures, so dont get too excited.
Many investors obsess about stock prices.
But you must give equal weight to a compa-
nys earnings. When earnings rise, stocks
become more valuable and their prices
usually rise, too.
That seems to be happening now.
Weve had record prots upon record prof-
its, says John Butters, senior earnings analyst
at FactSet, a research rm. And estimates are
well have record prots this year, too.
Whats more, some of the typical threats to
stock run-ups such as rising ination and
interest rates, which often trigger a recession
seem unlikely to appear soon.
Among reasons to consider stocks again:
A STRONGER ECONOMY:
There are no signs of a recession. And thats
encouraging for stocks, which almost always
fall ahead of an economic downturn. Stocks
started falling two months before the Great
Recession began in December 2007 and one
year before the recession that started in March
2001.
Better yet, the economy may be on the
verge of faster growth. The Labor Department
announced Friday that the unemployment rate
in February dipped from 7.9 percent to 7.7
percent, its lowest level since December 2008.
Employers added more than 200,000 jobs
each month from November-February, com-
pared with 150,000 in each of the prior three
months.
More jobs mean more money for people to
spend, and consumer spending drives 70 per-
cent of economic activity.
And there has been a urry of other hopeful
signs lately. Homebuilders broke ground on
new homes last year at the fastest pace in four
years. Sales of autos, the second-biggest con-
sumer purchase, are at a ve-year high.
If recent history is any guide, this econom-
ic expansion is still young. The expansion that
began in June 2009 is 44 months old. The pre-
vious three expansions lasted 73 months, 120
months and 92 months. Corporate earnings
grow in expansions, which can push stocks
higher.
In the 1982-1990 expansion, earnings of
companies in the Standard and Poors 500
stock index grew 50 percent, according to
S&P Dow Jones Indices, which oversees the
index. The S&P 500 itself surged nearly 170
percent.
For 2013, earnings of S&P 500 companies
are expected to grow 7.9 percent, then jump
another 11.5 percent next year, according to
FactSet. If thats right, stocks could rise fast.
But history offers three caveats: First, if you
look at the 11 expansions back to World War
II, instead of the last three, they last 59
months on average. By that measure, the cur-
rent expansion is middle aged, not young.
Second, investing based on U.S. economic
expansions may not work as well as in the
past. Big U.S. companies generate nearly half
their revenue from overseas now so you need
to worry about other economies, too. The 17
European countries that use the euro as a cur-
rency have been in recession for more than a
year. Japan, the worlds third largest economy,
has struggled to grow.
If the worst is over for these countries, U.S.
stocks could continue rising. If the growth
drags, stocks could fall.
Third, earnings forecasts are often too high.
They come from nancial analysts who study
companies and advise on stocks to buy. In the
past 15 years, their annual earnings forecasts
were an average 10 percent too high, accord-
ing to FactSet. Last year, they got closer: They
overestimated by 4 percent.
STOCKS REASONABLY PRICED:
Investors like to use a gauge called price-
earnings ratios in deciding whether to buy or
sell. Low P/E ratios signal that stocks are
cheap relative to a companys earnings; high
ones signal they are expensive.
Right now P/Es are neither low nor high,
suggesting stocks are reasonably priced
To calculate a P/E, you divide the price of a
stock by its annual earnings per share. A com-
pany that earns $4 a share and has a $60 stock
has a P/E of 15. Most investors calculate P/Es
two ways: based on estimates of earnings the
next 12 months and on earnings the past 12.
Stocks in the S&P 500 are at 13.7 times
estimated earnings per share in 2013. That is
close to the average estimated P/E ratio of
14.2 over the past ten years, according to
FactSet. The P/E based on past earnings
paints a similar picture. The S&P 500 trades
now at 17.6 times earnings per share in 2012,
basically the same as the 17.5 average since
World War II, according to S&P Dow Jones
Indices, which oversees the index.
Again, a caveat.
Another way to calculate P/Es, called a
cyclically adjusted ratio, suggests stocks
are not such a decent deal. Its champion is
economist Robert Shiller of Yale University
who warned about the dot-com and housing
bubbles. He thinks its misleading to look at
just one year because earnings can surge or
drop with the economic cycle. To smooth
such distortions, he looks at annual earnings
per share averaged over the prior 10 years.
The cyclically adjusted ratio is 23 times.
Since the end of World War II, its ranged
between 6.6 and 44.2, and the average is 18.3.
That suggests stocks are expensive, though
perhaps not wildly so.
No matter which P/E you choose, its
important to think of it as a rough guide at
best. Stocks can trade above or below their
average P/Es for years.
OPTIMISTIC INVESTORS:
A new love of stocks could prove a power-
ful force pushing prices up. In fact, it can push
them up even if earnings dont increase.
Thats what happened in the ve years
through 1986. Earnings fell 2 percent, but the
S&P 500 almost doubled as small investors
who had soured on stocks throughout the
1970s returned to the market. The multiple
shorthand for the price-earnings ratio rose
from eight to nearly 17.
Buying stocks now may be less risky
LOS ANGELES From Sports
Illustrated to People to its namesake
magazine, Time Inc., was always an
innovator.
But now when the troubled maga-
zine industry is facing its greatest
challenge, the company Henry Luce
founded is struggling to nd its way
in a digital world.
Time Warner Inc.s decision to
shed its Time Inc. magazine unit
last week underscores the chal-
lenges facing an industry that
remains wedded to glossy paper
even as the use of tablet computers,
e-readers and smartphones
explodes.
Although the new devices might
seem to present an array of opportu-
nity for Time Inc.s 95 magazine
titles, many publishers have found
the digital transition troublesome.
Digital editions of magazines repre-
sented just 2.4 percent of all U.S.
circulation in the last half of 2012,
or about 7.9 million copies, accord-
ing to the Alliance for Audited
Media.
Although that number more than
doubled from a year earlier, its
hardly gangbusters growth, consid-
ering that the number of tablets in
the U.S. also more than doubled last
year to 64.8 million, according to
research rm IHS.
The fact that so few tablet owners
are buying magazines on their
devices is a concern because both
ad and circulation revenue from
print editions have fallen more than
20 percent since their peak near the
middle of the last decade. And,
according to forecasts, theres no
recovery in sight.
We have to get much better at
capturing those (digital) readers,
said Mary Berner, president of The
Association of Magazine Media.

Cause of fetid water
proves to be elusive
By Kevin Begos
PITTSBURGH What causes clear, fresh country well
water to turn orange or black, or smell so bad that its undrink-
able?
Residents of a western Pennsylvania community have been
trying for more than a year to get that question answered in their
quest to get clean water back.
Some of them say the water was spoiled by drilling deep
underground for natural gas. Others point to pollution from old
coal mines. Theyve also been told it could even be a bafing
mix of natural and manmade reasons that change the water over
time, like the leaves change on trees. But no one knows for sure,
and they say the uncertainty is maddening.
In late 2011, the drinking water for about a dozen residents in
the Woodlands, a rural community about 30 miles north of
Pittsburgh, began to change. At rst, the families blamed gas
drilling, or fracking, being done 2000 feet away. But state tests
showed the water wasnt contaminated by drilling, and even
more confusingly, many of their neighbors reported no prob-
lems.
Families with bad water then turned to federal ofcials. But
last summer the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency quietly
sent a letter to one resident, Janet McIntyre, saying the agency
agreed with the state nding, since most of the chemicals found
in the water could have occurred naturally.
McIntyre wasnt satised, noting that the EPA never set foot
on my property to test the water themselves. The EPA didnt
respond to a request for comment on why the agency didnt
retest the water.
Still, the residents with water problems were hopeful that
the Atlanta-based U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry was looking at the issue. But last month the
agency said it is not actively investigating complaints from
this area.
Im just very, very frustrated, McIntyre said.

San Mateo Countys California
Interscholastic Federation state bas-
ketball title hopes fall on the shoul-
ders of just one team now: The
Menlo girls basketball team.
Five teams went into the weekend
with CIF state aspirations and only
the Lady Knights, behind a 53-38
win over No. 4 Bear River, saw their
season extended. Menlo is now a
Northern California Final Four par-
ticipant in Division IV with a date
against No. 1 Salesian scheduled for
a Tuesday, 7 p.m. tip-off.
The Knights were led yet again
by the double-double effort of the
countys most dominant gure in
Drew Edelman. The center scored
18 points and pulled down 10
rebounds.
Menlo got off to another quick
start especially on the defensive
end. The Knights led 14-7 after one
quarter and saw their advantage
increase to 12 points at recess.
As a team, Menlo shot 50 percent
from the eld.
The Knights got another major
supporting effort from Maddy Price
who scored 15 points. Lauren Letes
14 points rounded out the winning
effort.
Sacred Heart Prep had zero luck
shutting down Mariya Moore and
the rest of No. 1 seeded Salesian,
losing 74-43. Moore scored 19
points in a barrage of Salesian
offense that saw 11 different players
get on the score sheet.
The Gators trailed 22-8 after one
quarter and 38-20 at the half.
SHP nishes its 2012-13 cam-
paign at 22-10.
On the boys side of the CIF, El
Camino High School, the Division
II No. 8 seed, hung tough with the
No. 1 Gaels of Dublin but fell 86-75
in a game that saw the higher seed
pull away with a big second half.
The Colts led by two after the rst
period and were tied with Dublin
come halftime. But ultimately, El
Camino was done in by a fourth
quarter in which they were
outscored by eight points.
It was a formidable farewell for
the dynamic duo of Michael Smith
and Elijah White who have re-ener-
gized the El Camino basketball pro-
gram with their play the last three
seasons. Smith knocked down six 3-
pointers en route to his 28-point
night. White scored 20 (on 6 of 21
shooting from the eld).
Another senior, Alex Huerta,
drained four trifectas and nished
with 14 points.
In Division IV, the Menlo Knights
saw their season end at the hands of
No. 3 Marin Catholic 52-45.
But the boys from Valparaiso did
not go out without a ght.
Down 14 points at the half, the
Knights cut that decit to just a
point with about 2:30 left in the
Menlo girls head to Final Four

DORAL, Fla. Tiger Woods is hitting his
stride on a march to the Masters.
Woods had full control of his game Sunday
and never let anyone get closer than three
shots until he had locked up his 17th World
Golf Championship title. With a conservative
bogey that didnt matter on the nal hole, he
closed with a 1-under 71 to win the Cadillac
Championship.
For the rst time in ve years, Woods has
two wins before the Masters.
It was one year ago at Doral that Woods
withdrew after 11 holes in the nal round
because of tightness in his left Achilles ten-
don, creating uncertainty about his health and
whether he could ever get his game back.
False alarm.
Woods has won ve times in the last year,
the most of anyone in the world, and he can
return to No. 1 with a win at Bay Hill in two
weeks.
He won by two shots over Steve Stricker,
who might want to claim a share of this tro-
phy.
Stricker spent 45 minutes on the putting
green with Woods on the eve of the tourna-
ment, helping him with his posture over putts.
Woods made 27 birdies this week, one short
of his personal best on the PGA Tour.
Thank you to Steve for the putting lesson,
Woods said at the trophy presentation. It was
one of those weeks where I felt pretty good
about how I was playing, made a few putts
and got it rolling.
Stricker, playing a part-time schedule,
picked up his second runner-up nish in just
three starts. He closed with a 68, and had no
regrets about offering Woods some help.
At times you kick yourself, Stricker said
with a laugh. Hes a good friend. We talk a
lot about putting. Its good to see him playing
well.
The Masters is a month away, and Woods is
sure to be the favorite.
Rory McIlroy, the No. 1 player in the world,
showed signs of recovering from his rough
start to the season. He had a 65 and tied for
eighth.
Woods won in January at Torrey Pines by
four shots. He won for the fourth time at
Doral, making this the seventh golf course
where he has won at least four times.

During his entire freshman season
at the College of San Mateo last
year, Dylan Nelson started two
games. Less than a month into his
sophomore season as a transfer
sophomore at Cal, the right-hander
already has two starts under his belt.
Nelson took his second start yes-
terday, taking the hill against Fresno
State at Evans Diamond with a
chance for Cal to sweep the 2008
National Champs in a four-game
series. Nelsons outing was cut
short, as he threw just two innings
to take a no-decision. However, Cal
ultimately delivered an 8-4 win to
roll to its fourth straight victory
the Golden Bears longest winning
streak since April of last year to
up its record to 9-7.
Nelson turned in an auspicious
debut as a Cal starter last week
against No. 19-ranked Rice, though.
Taking the ball March 4 in Houston,
Nelson worked
six innings of
shutout ball in a
game Rice
eventually won
1-0 with a walk-
off ninth inning.
I dont think
he came back
from his first
start as strong
as he could, Cal manager Dave
Esquer said. I thought he looked a
little compromised (yesterday). I
dont think hes injured, but I think
his body, going from the pen to
starting last week, I dont think he
bounced back as well as he could.
Hes not injured. But, I think its
going to take him some time to
bounce back and get his feet back
underneath him.
For Nelson though, simply don-
ning the Cal uniform has been like
catching lightning in a bottle. Not
that the start of his Division-I career
hasnt been fantastic. Even after
surrendering two runs over two
innings yesterday, the hurlers 1.76
ERA over 15 1/3 innings of work is
still tops on the team. Thats pretty
good considering the transfer to Cal
wasnt even on his radar the day he
pitched his nal game at CSM.
On May 12, 2012, Nelson took
the ball for CSM and went the dis-
tance against Diablo Valley College
in the California Community
College Northern California Super
Regional Playoffs. Nelson went the
distance to help CSM to a must-win
victory in the elimination game.
According to Nelson, it was a
videotape of that game that helped
catch the attention of Cal. With a
year of community-college eligibil-
ity remaining, he had expected to
return to CSM to compete for a
year-long role as a starting pitcher
something at which he excelled as a
four-year varsity star at Galileo
but had yet to establish at the col-
lege level. When Cal came calling
though, his transfer came though
virtually overnight.
That got the ball rolling, and I
ended up coming here, Nelson said.
They got me into the school, got
me a nancial-aide package, and it
all worked out. It went from noth-
ing to Berkeley in about a day.
The fact that Cal pitching coach
Mike Neu used to head the program
at DVC couldnt have hurt. Neu said
Nelson was viewed as solely as a
reliever heading into the season.
Given Nelsons success in the Rice
game, along with the Cal rotation
experiencing something of a roller-
coaster start this season, Nelson will
now be a contender to crack the
weekend rotation for good.
We brought him in to be a reliev-
er, Neu said. But hes pitched so
well, well probably have to keep
him in [a starting] role.
According to Neu, Cals 2011
Cinderella season in which the
Bears made a trip to the College
World Series played a part in neces-
sitating the acquisition of a commu-
nity-college transfer to pitch. Prior
to that season, the Cal baseball team
was initially axed. And because the
program headed into the season
under the pretense it wouldnt exist
the following year it was ultimate-
ly saved in the zero hour by eight-
gures in private contributions later
that season several Cal players
opted to transfer to other programs.
That had something to do with
it, Neu said. We were looking for
guys to come in right away and
pitch.
Cal wasnt Nelsons rst shot at
the Division-I stage. Out of high
school he had an offer from
Sacramento State, but opted instead
for the community-college route.
Following last season, there was, in
addition to Cal, some interest from
Arizona State. However, Cals was
by far the most equitable offer.
I was really set on Berkeley,
Nelson said. Its close to home, a
great school, so I couldnt be
happier here.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Cody
Zeller squeezed the basketball as the
nal seconds ticked off the clock,
sealing Indianas rst outright Big
Ten title in two decades.
It was a tting nish, for sure.
Because without some huge plays by
their 7-foot center, the second-ranked
Hoosiers wouldve had to share the
conference championship.
Zeller made a go-ahead layup with
13 seconds left and altered Trey
Burkes shot at the other end, lifting
Indiana to a 72-71 victory over No. 7
Michigan on Sunday.
After falling out of bounds on the
nal sequence, Zeller got up quickly
and gave teammate Christian Watford
someone to save the ball to at the end.
Weve been working on that all
year closing out games, said
Zeller, who had 25 points and 10
rebounds.
The Hoosiers (26-5, 14-4) trailed
by ve in the nal minute but took
advantage when the Wolverines (25-
6, 12-6) were unable to close it out at
the foul line, costing themselves a
piece of the Big Ten title.
Jordan Morgan had a fairly easy
tip-in attempt of Burkes miss that
could have won it for Michigan, but
the ball rolled tantalizingly around the
rim and off.
It just hung there, Burke said.
Watford got to the rebound
Indiana had 23 more boards than
Michigan with 4 seconds left and
threw it back in bounds to Zeller.
Christian made a great play at the
end that people might not realize, sav-
ing the ball to Cody, Hoosiers guard
Jordan Hulls said.
A couple of Michigans rivals sure-
ly wish the Wolverines had won.
Ohio State, which beat Illinois on
Sunday, needed an Indiana loss to
earn a share of the conference cham-
pionship. Michigan State was in the
same position before defeating
Northwestern later in the day.
The Hoosiers had already clinched
a share of the title, for the rst time
since 2002, but needed another victo-
ry to nish alone atop the conference
for the rst time since 1993.
In retrospect, thatll be good and
thatll sink in, Indiana coach Tom
Crean said.
Indianas 26th victory, and the fact
that it withstood test after test in the
highly competitive Big Ten, might
have earned the Hoosiers a No. 1
seed in the NCAA tournament. They
will be the top-seeded team at this
weeks Big Ten tournament in
Chicago.
Were not done yet, Hulls said.
When the Hoosiers nished off
Michigan and the teams shook hands
along the sideline, Crean and
Michigan assistant Jeff Meyer, a for-
mer Hoosiers assistant, had a heated
exchange.
Im not talking about any of that,
Crean said. Ask him.
A message seeking comment from
Meyer was left with a Michigan
spokesman.
The Wolverines blew a chance to
win a share of the Big Ten title for a
second straight year for the rst time
since the 1985 and 1986 seasons.
This really hurts, Burke
acknowledged. This was for a
championship.
Morgan made a tiebreaking put-
back with 1:35 left, teammate Tim
Hardaway followed with a layup on
the Wolverines next possession and
Glen Robinson III made the rst of
two free throws with 52 seconds to
go to give the Wolverines a 71-66
lead.
After Zeller made a shot on the
ensuing possession, Hardaway
missed the front end of a 1-and-1.
Zeller then connected on two free
throws and Burke couldnt convert at
the line, missing the front end of
another haunting 1-and-1.
This game wasnt blown on the
free throw line, Michigan coach John
Beilein insisted. Those two are our
leaders, and theyve won a lot of
games for us. Were never going to
put this on them.

16-5 with a 2.79 ERA and threw a perfect
game.
In three previous exhibition outings span-
ning seven innings, he had allowed nine runs
ve earned on 13 hits with only three
strikeouts. But against the Brewers, Cain
matched his spring strikeout total eight batters
into the game.
Cain pitched into trouble in the fourth after
striking out Brewers starter Chris Narveson
looking. Norichika Aoki and Scooter Gennett
singled and Carlos Gomez walked.
Aoki scored on a sacrice y by Alex
Gonzalez and Cain ended the inning by retir-
ing Bobby Crosby on a y ball to deep center.
Cain had been scheduled to throw four
innings, but a little stomach upset limited him
to three.
My stomach was a little bit funky this
morning so they just wanted to get things
going, Cain said. I might have gone another
inning or so but for the little tummy ache
issue. Something just didnt agree.
Brett Pill, Cole Gillespie and Nick Noonan
had RBI singles for the Giants.
Narveson made his second ofcial appear-
ance and third overall he started against
Team Canada in a World Baseball Classic
exhibition Tuesday and gave up two runs
and ve hits in three innings.
Sometimes you come in and you didnt
feel your best and a couple of days later you
feel good, Narveson said. Youre going to
have your ups and downs. Its part of the
process.
Narveson, who missed nearly all of last sea-
son following surgery on his left rotator cuff
and labrum on May 1, struck out one.
I feel ready to pitch, Narveson said. Im
taking each step as a platform for preparation
for the start of the season. I know if I do that,
Ill be ready to go once the season starts.
NOTES: Cain said he still hasnt broken
out his slider but likely will in his next start.
We thought about mixing some in but just
didnt do it, he said. ... The Brewers released
RHP Kelvim Escobar. Escobar, who has
pitched in one game in the majors since 2007
due to a variety of shoulder issues, was diag-
nosed with a nerve impingement just above
his right hand. . Milwaukee will face Zack
Greinke and the Los Angeles Dodgers on
Monday. Greinke was 25-9 for the Brewers
over 1 1/2 seasons before he was traded to the
Los Angeles Angels at the trade deadline last
year.

early in the fourth period. But Marin showed
just how tough they are. After retaking the

Central Coast Section title.
Wes Miller led all Menlo scorers with 14

The Knights end their 2012-13 season with

In Friday night action, Serra basketball saw
their season end roughly at the hands of No. 4
Sheldon of Sacramento in CIF Open Division

The Padres found themselves in early foul
trouble, mainly after Henry Caruso was whis-
tled for three very early fouls, and Sheldon all
but cruised to a 71-50 win.
Even with all those fouls, Caruso still man-

port, and the defense was doing its job.
Everything just felt comfortable from the begin-
ning.
The dynamic low-three-quarters-wheeling
lefty made a statement in the rst inning by
striking out the side. Between the fourth and the
seventh innings, he recorded seven consecutive
outs albeit with three base runners scattered
between by way of strikeout. Razo, who was
promoted to varsity as a sophomore, now has 23
strikeouts over 14 innings on the young season.
This is his third year with us, Serra manag-
er Craig Gianinno said. His maturity is poised.
His leadership (and) his competitive intensity
are all intangibles that he brings to the table.
Serra got on the board in the third inning,
though it would have been much sooner if not
for the smooth pickoff move of Burlingame
starter Tommy Cauleld, who notched a pair of
picks by throwing behind two steal attempts,
one in each of the rst two innings.
Pickoff
Burlingame rst baseman Jonathan
Engelmann said Cauleld has been good for
one pickoff a game through each of his rst
three starts. But, the southpaw obviously upped
the ante Friday night.
Hes got a great move, Engelmann said.
So thats always a play in the back of our
heads, especially with Serra. Theyve got really
good speed. Theyll take big leads. So, we were
expecting the runners and he picked at the right
times, luckily to get them out.
Serra broke through in the third, though. After
Dalvin Martin walked to start the frame, Jordan
Paroubeck doubled over the third-base bag.
Mickey McDonald drove Martin home on the
following pitch with a groundout to second
base, before cleanup hitter Paul Murray
launched a two-out triple to deep left to drive
home Paroubeck.
Burlingame answered back in the bottom of
the inning. After a leadoff ineld single by Phil
Cauleld, Keone Keahi moved him to second
with a sacrice bunt. Michael Franco then
reached on an ineld error, moving Cauleld to
third, before Vince Arobio smashed a two-out
double up the right-center gap to clear the bases
and tie it at 2-2.
In the fourth, Franco made the defensive play
of the game by tracking down a long y ball to
center off the bat of Christian Conci. With a
birds-eye view from right, Burlingame right
elder Andrew Brunicardi estimated Franco
went about 60 feet while angling towards the
left-center wall on the booming y to track it
down.
Wind
The wind was really picking up at the end of
the game, Brunicardi said. So, as he was run-
ning back it kept carrying and carrying. I
thought it was going to go over his head. But
instead of going with the ball, he beat the ball to
where the spot was, and he just tracked it down
really well.
At the time the play loomed large, as Serra
senior Kyle Wallau followed with a base hit that
would likely have scored a runner from scoring
position. However, Burlingame could not hold
off Serra in the following frame.
In the fth, Paroubeck and McDonald turned
over the lineup with back-to-back triples to
secure the lead for Serra. Paroubeck said
McDonalds long opposite-eld triple was the
hardest hit ball of the night. And thats really
saying something as later in the evening, while
Paroubeck was standing on deck, the Fresno
State-bound senior almost got smoked in the
head by a foul ball.
That was coming right at my face,
Paroubeck said. It might have caught a little
helmet.
Despite the loss, Burlingame manager Shawn
Scott agreed that the game was a treat to watch,
especially with a near-capacity crown on hand.
I was very pleased with the way both teams
played, Scott said. It was good to see two
high-school teams play baseball the way they
played.
Serra (6-1) now owns a 12-2 regular-season
record against Burlingame (4-1) since 2001. In
the annual Serra-Burlingame preseason
matchup a tradition which started in 1996
with Rich Sciutto at the helm of Burlingame,
and Pete Jensen at the helm of Serra, respec-
tively Serra has won 15 of the 17 games.
Burlingames two wins, each by a margin of 1-
0, came in 2007 and 2012.
SERRA
Graeme McDowell, who started the nal
round four shots behind, made a birdie on the
opening hole, but never got any closer.
McDowell had third place to himself until he
went for the green on the 18th hole and found
the water. He made double bogey, shot 72 and
fell into a four-way tie for third that cost him
$172,500.
Phil Mickelson (71), Sergio Garcia (69) and
Adam Scott (64) also tied for third.
Woods improved to 40-2 on the PGA Tour
when he had the outright lead going into the
nal round, the last two wins with McDowell
at his side. Woods last won while ahead at
Bay Hill a year ago.
The way Tiger was playing, I was always
in chase mode, McDowell said. He was
always going to be a tough guy to catch. Fair
play to him. He played fantastic golf the last
couple of days.
Woods nished minus 19 at 269 and earned
$1.5 million in winning this World Golf
Championship for the seventh time.
McIlroys week ended on a happy note.
Not only did he nish the tournament, he
might have turned the corner with a bogey-
free 65. McIlroy opened with a 7-iron into 18
feet for eagle, which he called one of the best
shots he hit. He shot a 32 on the back nine for
a round that surprised him considering how
far away he felt when he arrived at Doral.
Just goes to show, its not as far away as
you think, McIlroy said. Thats been one of
my problems. I always think when Im play-
ing bad that its further away than it is. Thats
just where I have to stay patient ... and know
that if I put in the hard work, that the results
will bear fruit. Whether thats sooner or later,
it doesnt really matter.
McIlroy said he wont add a tournament the
next two weeks, returning at the Houston
Open before going to the Masters. He is
signed up for the member-guest a week from
Monday at The Medalist Club, presumably as
the guest of former NBA great Michael
Jordan.
Hes asked me, so depending on what my
schedule is and where I have to be ... well
see, he said.
Scott had the low round of the tournament
with eight birdies in his round of 64.
Thats what McDowell, Mickelson and
Stricker would have needed to have any
chance of catching Woods. As he did early in
third round, McDowell gave it his best shot,
only to have Woods answer on every occa-
sion.
McDowell two-putted for birdie on the par-
5 opening hole as Woods blasted a shot from
a buried lie at the back of the green well past
the pin and off the green. He had to chip close
just to save par. McDowell hit his approach on
the second hole to 7 feet and looked as if he
might pick up another shot.

LAS VEGAS Matt Kenseth
decided not to replace any tires dur-
ing the nal pit stop under caution,
and the calculated risk put him in
the lead.
Kenseth knows a bit about risk
after his offseason move to Joe
Gibbs Racing, and this latest gam-
ble paid off with his third victory in
Vegas.
Kenseth won on his 41st birthday
in just his third start for his new
team, barely holding off Kasey
Kahne at Las Vegas Motor
Speedway for his 25th career victo-
ry Sunday.
I was real nervous all day,
Kenseth said. (Kahne) had the best
car. I told (crew chief) Jason
(Ratcliff) with about 12 to go that I
was sorry we were going to lose. We
were just too tight. ... We didnt
have the fastest car there, but we
had it where we needed it to be.
Kenseth took charge by taking
only fuel on the nal pit stop during
caution while almost everybody
else replaced two tires. He took the
lead and held
onto it, using his
veteran savvy
and a few
s c r e a m e d
instructions at
his new spotter
to keep
Kahnes impres-
sive Chevrolet
behind him to
the nish.
The frequently laid-back Kenseth
celebrated with uncommon vigor
after his JGR Toyota crossed the
line. Hes still getting comfortable
with his new teammates after leav-
ing Roush Fenway Racing in the
highest-prole driver move of the
offseason, joining Gibbs after 13
seasons with RFR.
Im not a huge goal person, but
my goal was to win, and to win
early, Kenseth said. Nobody has
put any pressure on me except for
myself, but I also know that Coach
hired me to come in there, climb in
that car and win races. You certain-
ly want to do that, and you dont
want to disappoint people. Im glad
we got a win, but its still only Week
3. I feel like this is the beginning.
Pole-sitter Brad Keselowski n-
ished third, with Kenseths team-
mate, Kyle Busch, in fourth and
Carl Edwards fifth. Jimmie
Johnson, the overall points leader,
was sixth and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
seventh.
Defending Vegas champion Tony
Stewart nished 11th, while Gibbs
driver Denny Hamlin was 15th after
an eventful week featuring a
$25,000 ne from NASCAR for
criticizing the new Gen-6 race car.
The win was the 50th for Toyota
in Sprint Cup Series competition.
Kenseth is just the third NASCAR
driver to win on his birthday, join-
ing Cale Yarborough who did it
twice and Busch.
I showed them a fake ID when
they hired me, Kenseth said with a
laugh. Told them I was 28, going to
be 29 this year.
Kenseth has won at least one race
in 11 of his 14 full seasons in the
Sprint Cup series, but the rst 13
were all in Fords with Roush
Fenway, the team that gave him his
break in NASCAR and fostered his
development into a likely Hall of
Famer. Kenseths decision to leave
for a seat on Gibbs team was an
open secret for much of last season,
although the veteran star never real-
ly explained his move.
I had a lot of condence after our
rst meeting and decided to go do
this, and just had a great feeling
about it, and still do, Kenseth said.
Gibbs had his own worries before
the race after a rough start to the
season for Toyota. Kenseth and
Busch both had serious engine trou-
ble at Daytona two weeks ago.
Lots of times, a victory, the thrill
of it, depends on kind of what hap-
pens leading up to it, Gibbs said.
Weve had a tough couple of
weeks, as everybody knows. ... In
tough times, everybody bands
together around our place. We start-
ed ghting, and we worked our way
out of some tough things.
The 400-mile race was the rst
real test for NASCARs new Gen-6
car on the intermediate tracks
theyre built to race. Although
Hamlin commanded the weeks
headlines with his pessimism
amplified by the NASCAR fine,
most drivers were curious how the
Gen-6 would work in its ideal 1.5-
mile environment.
Any drivers who still think its too
tough to pass in the new car must
not have been watching Busch, who
made two lengthy charges up to
early leads, doing it both before and
after a pit-row speeding penalty
dropped him back to 18th.
I just hate it for my team, said
Busch, a Las Vegas native and grad-
uate of nearby Durango High
School. We had by far the best car
in practice. I dont know where that
went. Today was a different day.
The worst Gibbs car ended up win-
ning the race. Its funny how this
game works.
Busch, who nished second in
Saturdays Nationwide Series race,
charged through the field with
impressive ease and took the lead
out of a restart with a daredevil
move on the apron with 102 laps to
go. He went three wide and got
underneath Kahne while kicking up
dust well below the white line.
Kahne set the qualifying speed
record on the Vegas track last year,
but rain wiped out qualifying this
week.
Kenseth holds off Kahne to win in Vegas

MIAMI Mario Chalmers
scored 26 points, Chris Bosh added
24 and the Miami Heat won their
18th straight game, easily topping
the Indiana Pacers 105-91 on
Sunday night.
The 18-game streak ties the sev-
enth longest in NBA history, and is
the leagues best since the Boston
Celtics won 19 straight during the
2008-09 season. Miami will try for
No. 19 when it hosts Atlanta on
Tuesday night.
The win also gave Miami (47-14)
a victory over every NBA team this
season. The Heat lost both previous
meetings with Indiana.
Dwyane Wade scored 23 points
for the Heat, who controlled the
game despite a season-low 13 points
from LeBron James. Ray Allen
added 11 for Miami.
David West scored 17 of his 24
points in the rst half for the Pacers,
who fell nine games behind Miami
in the Eastern Conference stand-
ings. Roy Hibbert scored 15, D.J.
Augustin had 14 and Paul George
scored 10 for Indiana.
James previous season-low was
15. He still finished with seven
assists and six rebounds for the
Heat, who held a 27-15 edge in
points off turnovers and nished the
game shooting 56 percent compared
with 41 percent by Indiana.
Chalmers needed only nine shots to
get his 26 points, going 5 for 6 from
3-point range and making all seven of
his free throws. He also grabbed
seven rebounds, a season high.
There may have been touches of
gamesmanship beforehand. Things
like the Pacers coming out for
warm-ups and choosing the basket
that the Heat typically use, or just
about every starter keeping those
pleasantries before tip-off such as
handshakes and hugs at an absolute
minimum. And there were moments
of physicality: an extra nudge here
or there. But nothing near the level
of those body-ying, blood-drawing
clobberings that came during last
seasons Eastern Conference semi-
nals.
Then again, that series was com-
petitive throughout. This game was
essentially over just after halftime.
Miami led by nine after the open-
ing quarter, the second-largest
decit the Pacers faced after 12 min-
utes all season. Indiana hardly fold-
ed; the Pacers used a 24-14 run to
get within two when West scored
with 2:57 left before the half. The
margin was still only six in the nal
minute before intermission.
But the Heat couldnt have script-
ed a better nal 6.9 seconds of the
half.
After a deflection sent all the
defensive matchups askew, James
found himself being guarded 1-on-1
by Hibbert, so he simply drove past
the 7-foot-2 center for a slam.

PHOENIX Running out of outs,
Adam Jones and the United States
suddenly broke loose and saved them-
selves from a humbling loss.
Now, thanks to a fast finish,
theyre heading to Miami for the
next round of the World Baseball
Classic.
Jones doubled in the tying and go-
ahead runs in the eighth inning, Eric
Hosmer hit a three-run double in the
ninth and the U.S. scored seven
times in the last two innings to beat
Canada 9-4 on Sunday.
Words cant describe it, Hosmer
said, recalling how he felt standing
on second after his big hit. It is
hard to hold your emotions right
there. It is just an unbelievable feel-
ing and when you hear the crowd
chant USA and the other crowd
chanting Canada. It is an unbeliev-
able experience.
The winner of the game moved
on, the loser went home. And for a
long while, it didnt look good for
manager Joe Torres team.
It would have been embarrass-
ing, second baseman Brandon
Phillips said. I would have been
embarrassed. USA this is where
baseball started and we represent
our country. I just feel that if we had
lost we didnt do our job. We have to
go out there and try to be the rst
American team to win the WBC.
That is our goal.
The U.S. trailed 3-2 after seven
innings before erupting. Team USA
and Italy each went 2-1 and
advanced in Group D while Canada
and Mexico went 1-2 and were
eliminated.

LOS ANGELES Kobe Bryant
was asked what it felt like to be a
playoff team, his Lakers having
just moved into the No. 8 spot in the
Western Conference after a 90-81
victory over the Chicago Bulls on
Sunday.
Bryant, who had 19 points, nine
assists and seven rebounds, let out a
less-than-enthusiastic yippee.
The win improved the Lakers to
33-31, the rst time theyve been
two games over .500 all season.
They are one-half game ahead of
Utah for the nal playoff spot. And
while the Lakers may feel a sense of
accomplishment in reaching playoff
position after such a poor start to the
season, Bryant is quick to note there
is plenty still left to do.
Were very focused, Bryant
said. We know what we have to do
and what lies ahead. Everybodys
locked in.
That would include Lakers center
Dwight Howard, who is playing
more like the player the Lakers
hoped they were getting when he
was acquired in a trade with
Orlando. Howard scored 16 points
on 8 of 14 shooting, blocked four
shots and grabbed 21 rebounds, the
fourth time this season hes had 20
or more rebounds.
I think I am getting a little bit
better, said Howard, who was 0 for
5 from the free throw line. Im just
going to keep working on my con-
ditioning, get my timing back and
just keep going hard.
The Lakers, who have won eight
of 10 since the All-Star break, led
by four points at halftime. But
point guard Steve Nash keyed a 21-
7 third-quarter spurt that put the
Lakers up by as many as 18 points.
Nash scored 10 of his 16 points in
the third quarter.
We have to try to climb higher,
Nash said. This team is far from a
nished product, so we have to
improve every night. Get tighter on
both ends of the oor. The more we
play together the better we should
be and the more we should learn
how to play together.
What is the point of getting to
the playoffs if you hold tight and
this is a nished product? We need
to try to improve while we solidify a
playoff spot and be a better team,
and hopefully a tougher team to
compete with in the playoffs.
The Lakers led almost through-
out, only briey falling behind by
two points in the second quarter.
Metta World Peace (12 points),
Earl Clark (11 points) and Jodie
Meeks (10 points) all scored in dou-
ble gures for the Lakers.
Nate Robinson led the Bulls with
19 points, Joakim Noah had 18
points and 17 rebounds and Carlos
Boozer had 12 points and 10
rebounds for Chicago.
Bryant was scoreless in the rst
quarter and had just six points at
halftime, but the Lakers maintained
a lead behind Howards play in the
paint.
I thought Howard in particular in
the rst half set the tone, Bulls
coach Tom Thibodeau said. He just
dominated the paint with shot-
blocking, rebounding, physicality.
That set the tone for the game and
they dominated us on the boards
from the start. Kobe came out as a
playmaker so they played well.
The Lakers finished the third
quarter with a 73-61 lead when
Clark took a pass from Bryant and
made a jumper at the buzzer. The
Bulls got within eight points on a
basket by Boozer with 8:02 left, but
got no closer the rest of the way.
Bryant missed all three shots in
the rst quarter, going scoreless in
the opening 12 minutes. World
Peace was cold as well, missing
four open 3-pointers, but the Lakers
held an early lead thanks to
Howards efforts down low.
Howard leads Lakers over Bulls 90-81

ts baby season, and not the wah, wah
kind. Its the time of the year when our
Wildlife Rescue Center begins receiv-
ing orphaned wild animals from local resi-
dents who look to us to play mom for a few
months before the orphans can be released
and make it on their own. Two baby hum-
mingbirds (hummers, we call them) were
the rst to arrive, which is almost always the
case. Baby squirrels, songbirds and raccoons
always follow; blame it on nature. In the
case of the rescued songbirds by far, the
most common incoming wildlife well-
meaning residents often over-care; many of
the babies should simply be left alone.
People all over our county nd baby birds
out of their nests and assume they need care.
But, contrary to popular belief and myth,
baby birds can be left alone or gently placed
back into their nests without being rejected
by their mothers. The key in determining the
right course of action is being able to identi-
fy the life stage of the bird. If the baby is
fully feathered and hopping on the ground
free of immediate dangers like a nearby pet
or trafc, help isnt needed. This edgling
was purposefully bumped out of the nest
and is learning important survival skills
from nearby parents. However, hatchlings
with no feathers, covered with down, or
very few feathers can use a helping hand.
These babies should be gently returned to
their nests. If a bird looks injured, is in
harms way (like on a busy sidewalk or in a
yard shared by pets) or if you cant locate or
reach the nest, place the bird in a shoebox or
open paper bag without food or water and
keep it in a quiet area until you can visit our
center. Our area for sick, injured or
orphaned wildlife is on the second oor of
our Center for Compassion, 1450 Rollins
Road in San Mateo.

LOS ANGELES Oz the
Great and the Powerful clicked
with moviegoers.
Disneys 3-D prequel to the clas-
sic L. Frank Baum tale The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz debuted
in rst place and earned $80.3 mil-
lion at the weekend box ofce in the
U.S. and Canada and $69.9 million
overseas, according to studio esti-
mates Sunday.
Oz tells the origin of James
Franco as the wizard with Mila
Kunis, Michelle Williams and
Rachel Weisz as the trio of witches
he encounters after crashing in the
mystical realm of Oz.
The updated take on Oz, which
was directed by original Spider-
Man trilogy mastermind Sam
Raimi, was a gamble that looks like
it will pay off for the Walt Disney
Co. The lm reportedly cost $200
million and opened a week after
Jack the Giant Slayer, another
big-budget 3-D extravaganza that
reimagines a classic tale, opped in
its opening weekend, debuting with
$28 million at the box ofce.
Oz was also golden overseas.
The lm conjured up $69.9 million
from 46 foreign markets, including
Russia and the United Kingdom.
Oz could follow in the footsteps
of Disneys Alice in Wonderland,
another costly 3-D film, which
opened on the same weekend in
2010 and went on to gross over $1
billion worldwide.
Oz is the shot in the arm that
the industry needed, said Paul
Dergarabedian, box-ofce analyst
for Hollywood.com. We had six
consecutive weekends where the
box ofce was down. As a result,
were at a 12-and-a-half percent
decit year-to-date on box ofce
revenues versus last year. Not a lot
of movies have worked. There have
been several underperformers.
In its second weekend, Jack
stomped out second place behind
Oz with $10 million, dropping 62
percent since its opening weekend.
It earned just $4.9 million overseas.
Jack, based on the Jack and the
Beanstalk fable, was directed by
Bryan Singer and stars Nicholas
Hoult and Ewan McGregor.
The only other new release this
weekend, the FilmDistrict revenge
drama Dead Man Down starring
Colin Farrell and Noomi Rapace,
opened in fourth place with $5.3
million.

The fact is that we have an economy now

Policy Institute in Washington D.C. Unless
we adopt a new approach to economic policy,
were going to continue going down this path,
which means growth that does not really bene-
t the great majority of people in this country.
Nationally, Mishel says the declining value
of the federal minimum wage is a major factor
driving inequality. On Monday, in an effort to
address this, minimum hourly wages will rise
from $8 per hour to a new minimum of $10
per hour, the nations largest minimum wage
increase approved by voters last fall. While its
a dramatic shift for tens of thousands of work-
ers, its a minuscule fraction of the increases
top earners in the region enjoyed last year.

REBOUND
While deliberations have been
secret, there appear to be two big
camps forming that have been at
loggerheads in the run-up to the
conclave.
One, dominated by the powerful
Vatican bureaucracy called the
Curia, is believed to be seeking a
pope who will let it continue calling
the shots as usual. The speculation
is that the Curia is pushing the can-
didacy of Brazilian Odilo Scherer,
who has close ties to the Curia and
would be expected to name an
Italian insider as Secretary of State
the Vatican No. 2 who runs day-
to-day affairs at the Holy See.
Another camp, apparently spear-
headed by American cardinals, is
said to be pushing for a reform-
minded pope with the strength to
shake up the Curia, tarnished by
inghting and the Vatileaks scan-
dal in which retired Pope Benedict
XVIs own butler leaked conden-
tial documents to a journalist. These
cardinals reportedly want Milan
archbishop Angelo Scola as pope, as
he is seen as having the clout to
bring the Curia into line.
The other key question to resolve
is whether the pope should be a
pastoral one somebody with
the charisma and communication
skills to attract new members to a
dwindling ock or a manageri-
al one capable of a church overhaul
in a time of sex-abuse scandals and
bureaucratic disarray.
Its hard to nd any single candi-
date who ts the bill on both counts.
Italy has the largest group of car-
dinal electors with 28, and believes
it has a historic right to supply the
pope, as it did for centuries. Italians
feel its time to have one of their
own enthroned again after 35 years
of foreigners, with the Polish John
Paul II and the German Benedict.
But Italians are divided by which
Italian church groups they have
been afliated with, and which lead-
ers they follow. A dispute that pitted
the followers of the archbishops of
Genoa and Florence is said to have
cost them the papacy in 1978 after
455 years of Italian popes.
Andrea Riccardi, a founder of the
Sant Egidio community and minis-
ter of cooperation in the Italian gov-
ernment, says Italian cardinals
should get the rst look.
The pope is bishop of Rome,
Riccardi said. Only if the selection
of an Italian becomes impractical
should it be the case to look in
another direction.
From one point of view, the
Italians have already suffered a set-
back.
The selection of Tuesday for the
conclave to begin is considered a
victory for the foreigners who had
sought more time to get to know get
to know one another amid pressures
to begin voting as early as Sunday.
And the leading Italian newspaper
Corriere della Sera, which polled
experts on Saturday, found Boston
Cardinal Sean OMalley topped
their list of papal favorites ahead
of both Scherer and Scola.
Two other Americans Cardinal
Timothy Dolan of New York and
Cardinal Donald Wuerl of
Washington also emerged as
potential popes in the survey. That
was a surprise since Americans had
largely been written off because of
potential negative perceptions of
electing a superpower pope. Vatican
watchers have also noted that an
American pope would likely have
difficulty dealing with anti-
Christian violence and persecution
in the Islamic world.

SELMA, Calif. Californias
$44 billion agricultural industry
faces a worsening labor shortage as
farmworkers age, more return home
to Mexico and fewer new migrants
arrive to replace them.
The states farming workforce is
aging and shrinking for several rea-
sons, including stricter immigration
enforcement, an improving econo-
my in Mexico and the lack of inter-
est in eld work among the children
of farmworkers, according to the
Sacramento Bee.
Basically, were running out of
low-skilled workers, said J.
Edward Taylor, a University of
California, Davis, economist who
has studied the migration of farm-
workers from Mexico. The second
generation doesnt do farm work.
Thats why weve relied on a steady
inux of newcomers. And the new-
comers are in dwindling supply.
More than 70 percent of state
agricultural producers expect a
worker shortage starting this spring
and worsening through the growing
season, according to the California
Farm Bureau Federation.
Lawmakers and farm lobbyists
are discussing remedies, including
granting legal status to more than 1
million undocumented farmworkers
and expanding the number of visas
for agriculture.
We have to try to nd a system
that is not going to cause a major
disruption to our industry, said
Bryan Little, the farm bureaus
director of labor affairs.
Manuel Cunha Jr., president of
the Nisei Farmers League, repre-
senting 1,100 farms and other agri-
culture outlets, said his groups
workforce fell by 20 to 30 percent
during last years harvest season. By
September, some farm crews were
as much as 60 percent short of the
workers they needed.
Cunha blamed increased farm
audits by federal immigration of-
cials and the increasing dangers of
crossing the border from Mexico.
Workers were leaving agricul-
ture because they were fearful of the
audits and getting busted, Cunha
said. And then, when they went
home, they realized it wasnt worth
it to return because of the drug traf-
ckers and human trafckers.
The declining number of farmwork-
ers is prompting some growers to
switch to crops that require less labor.

doesnt mind. Keeping active is good for
Ball. Thats not actually why he does it.
Its part of a recycling program through
the Elks that raises money to support
services offered to local veterans.
Last year, for example, money raised
through recycling supported spinal cord
injury winter sports and gave a $7,000
boost to the television fund. On the
fourth Thursday of each month, the
committee holds birthday parties for
patients at the Palo Alto Veterans Affairs
Health Care System, served food on
Veterans Day and offered Thanksgiving
and Christmas lunches for the Spinal
Cord Injury Unit.
Ball, a 47-year member of the local
Elks lodge, has been focusing on helping
veterans for 31 years. It started when he
retired from Western Electric. The father
of two, now adult, children with his late
wife Nancy, Ball has often wondered
when he had time to work. Doing work
to support the volunteer efforts of the
Elks takes lots of time. Ball did have to
admit to himself that part of the reason
he has less time is it takes him longer to
get things done, he said with a laugh.
Stopping isnt really an option though.
Ball smiles largely while describing the
impact these efforts have for the local
veterans. Along with a handful of volun-
teers, Ball heads up the dirty work that
makes the project possible. On Friday,
the group hauled 1,100 pounds of glass
to be recycled. To date, supporting the
programs has meant recycling 52,254
pounds of glass, 1,086 pounds of alu-
minum cans and 1,085 pounds of plastic
bottles for a total of $9,677. The
National Veterans Service Committee, of
which Ball is the chair, also received
$1,740 in donations.
In the last year, the Elks also held 11
barbecues and invited 44 veterans to din-
ner at the lodge from the Traumatic
Recovery Program in Menlo Park. Visits
to local veterans dont just include food.
The volunteers bring donations of books,
clothing and games. Donations not used
by those in the trauma recovery program
are given to veterans in the Extended
Care Unity and the Domiciliary Service
in Menlo Park, said Ball.
Efforts to help the veterans has been a
promise made by the Elks after World
War II, which Ball served in as a naviga-
tor for the U.S. Air Force.
So long as there are veterans, the
Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks
will never forget them, reads the prom-
ise. Thats what the members of the San
Mateo National Veterans Service
Committee work to meet, rain or shine,
said Ball.
Anyone can help by dropping off alu-
minum cans, plastic bottles, glass bot-
tles, newspapers and cardboard to the
San Mateo Elks Lodge, 229 W. 20th Ave.,
and depositing them in containers on the
west side and rear of the parking lot. The
lodge also collects clean, wearable
mens and womens clothing, shoes,
paperback books, playing cards, jigsaw
puzzles and table games, which can be
left at the lodge ofce.

There are prime opportunities in
areas such as electrical, plumbing and
concrete where small businesses ought
to be playing a larger role at BART,
Sweet said in a prepared statement.
Other goods and services needed by
BART include construction, ofce sup-
plies, catering, printing, laundry, bank-
ing, information technology, computer
supplies and janitorial.
BART is currently looking at how to
unbundle large contracts and issue mul-
tiple contracts where possible as ways to
give small businesses a helping hand.
BART, which is one of the Bay Areas
largest employers, is holding two infor-
mational meetings this month to let busi-
nesses know about the new directive and
help them get bonded and certied with
the agency which are contractor require-
ments. Both meetings will be held in San
Francisco but a BART spokeswoman
said that in no way indicates the agency
is not hoping for proposals from busi-
nesses closer to the Millbrae end point of
the line. An earlier meeting was packed
by business owners and BART ofcials
were thrilled by the interest, said
Communications Ofcer Luna Salaver.
Salaver wasnt sure just how much
money worth of contracts may be up for
grabs because the BART system
involves so many departments and dif-
ferent needs.
Its kind of hard to say ... but there is
always some project that needs to be
accomplished that a small business can
benet from, Salaver said.
The informational meetings are 6 p.m.
to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 13 at the
San Francisco City College-Mission
Campus, 1125 Valencia St., San
Francisco and 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Saturday march 23 at the West Bay
Conference Center, 1290 Fillmore St.,
San Francisco. RSVPs to either can be
made at 415-545-8216.
Those interested who cannot attend
are encouraged to visit www.bart.gov
and click on the small business initiative
link under the Ofce of Civil Rights sec-
tion.

Department discovered high levels of
carbon monoxide. A Pacic Gas and
Electric employee also found the wall
heater chamber clogged and turned it off
until KDF Hallmark had a dealer or
licensed contractor repair the equipment.
The suit claims KDF Hallmark instead
had an unlicensed maintenance worker
clean the vent and turn the heater back
on. PG&E disconnected the gas line
again on Jan. 5 after discovering elevat-
ed levels of carbon monoxide still pres-
ent and, over the next two days, both
Bland and Warren sought medical atten-
tion.
Bland and Warren are seeking dam-
ages for negligence, emotional distress,
breach of contract, unlawful business
practices, nuisance and breaching the
covenant of good faith dealing and quiet
enjoyment. The plaintiffs have suffered
worry and anxiety over living in an
inhabitable premises, being exposed to
carbon monoxide and potentially losing
their home, the suit states.
A case management conference is
scheduled for August.
An inquiry to KDF Hallmark went
unanswered.
