Collaboration and communication will be
the key to creating safer communities and
schools a theme discussed at length during
a safety summit held in Redwood City
Wednesday.
Beyond Newtown: How to Ensure Safe
Schools and Communities was the topic of
the summit with hundreds of attendees
including elected ofcials, experts on school
shootings, school officials, mental health
experts and law enforcement ofcials held at
the Oracle Conference Center. Over many
hours, the group discussed lessons that can be
learned from previous violent attacks as well
as changes already in place and areas of
improvement that can be made locally.
A challenge for many has been an inability
to see attacks coming.
Katherine Newman, a sociology professor
at Johns Hopkins University, was a member
of the National Research Council team that
responded to a congressional request to study
rampage shootings in schools. Newman, a
keynote speaker Wednesday, said identifying
students who could be planning attacks can be
difcult as often the only similarities are that
they are boys who may be in the early stages
of mental illness. They often do not behave in
a way that would cause alarm to adults.
They are not the squeaky wheels everyone
is looking for, she said, adding they are

Board to get glimpse at
new budget this week
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Two years ago, the
Peninsula Corridor Joint
Powers Board declared a
fiscal emergency for the
third straight year, causing
some on the board to
declare that Caltrain was in serious jeopardy as it faced a near-
ly $30 million decit.
Times have changed but how much will be learned later this
week as the JPB will take its rst look at next years budget
and whether the commuter rail line will survive another year
without relying on help since it lacks a dedicated funding
source.
For the scal year 2013-14 budget, no cuts are proposed and
the agency intends to maintain its current level of service,
agency spokeswoman Jayme Ackemann told the Daily

Workers at the Shoreway Environmental Center in San Carlos had to evacuate the facility yesterday as crews put out a re
that started inside a commercial recycling truck.
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Shoreway Environmental Center
in San Carlos was shut down for about
three hours yesterday after a load of
recyclabes combusted at the transfer sta-
tion.
The re was spotted after a commer-
cial recycling truck dumped a load at the
San Carlos facility at about 11:15 a.m.
yesterday. The re likely started in the
truck, said Monica Devincenzi, with the
South Bayside Waste Management
Agency.
The load was likely compressed
before it combusted, an ofcial with

Bob Hope items to be
auctioned for charity
LOS ANGELES Hundreds of per-
sonal items, including antiques, artwork
and furniture once owned by Bob Hope
and his wife, Dolores, will be auctioned
to benet a Southern California charity.
The Daily News of Los Angeles
reports proceeds from the sale Saturday
will help the family service center at St.
Charles Borromeo Church in North
Hollywood, where Dolores Hope was a
member for 70 years.
The couples daughter, Linda Hope,
says memorabilia from Bob Hopes
long show business career will also be
up for sale.
Prices will range from $10 to several
hundred dollars an item.
An auction of additional property
from the couples Toluca Lake estate
will be announced by Juliens Auctions
of Beverly Hills later this year.
Dolores Hope died in 2011. Bob
Hope died in 2003.
CBS Miller rises above
the fray in Boston case
NEW YORK If John Miller had
scheduled an earlier ight, the CBS
News coverage of the Boston Marathon
bombing and its aftermath would have
been much weaker.
Miller was driving home on the after-
noon of April 15 to pick up his wife for
their ight to a vacation in Florence,
Italy. A phone call alerted him to the
bombings and he
turned around and
headed back to the
office, where hes
spent much of his
time since.
His dual role as a
low-key explainer
and reporter helped
keep CBS ahead on
key details of the
investigation as the suspects identities
began to emerge, and away from mis-
steps made by other news organiza-
tions.
Miller, who appears primarily on
CBS This Morning, reported two
days after the bombing that authorities
had their eye specically on someone
seen by a store security camera. When
Internet sleuths began speculating about
potential suspects based on pictures
taken at the scene, Miller steered CBS
away from them. Miller similarly
assured the network it wasnt true when
rivals reported erroneously that a sus-
pect had been arrested, said CBS News
President David Rhodes.
His bosses knew as much from
Millers demeanor as his words that
day. Miller sat calmly in the newsroom
eating a sandwich while other news
divisions were frantically reporting and
unreporting an arrest, Rhodes said.
One of the main reasons Im watch-
ing CBS coverage of the Boston story
is because of John Miller, said Marcy
McGinnis, a former CBS executive who
is associate dean of Stony Brook
Universitys journalism school. I think
hes got extraordinary sources. They
give him information immediately. The
night this (capture of the second sus-
pect) was unfolding, I was in awe.
Hes also very measured and clear in
his delivery, she said.
Along with reporters, most broadcast
news divisions employ analysts, usually
former ofce-holders or experts with an
insiders view of how things work. Hero
pilot Chesley Sullenberger, who com-
ments on aviation stories for CBS, is an
example.
Miller, 54, handles both roles. Hes a
veteran reporter who worked at ABC
News and its New York afliate. His
boss, CBS News Chairman Jeff Fager,
calls Miller one of the best reporters to
have ever worked in television. Miller
also worked for former New York and
Los Angeles police commissioner Bill
Bratton when Bratton ran those depart-
ments, and at the CIA, FBI and
National Security Administration.
By 2011, Miller said he was looking
to get back into journalism.
I had been doing government work
for 10 years after 9/11 and it was time to
come home, he said.
His long list of contacts was an obvi-
ous selling point, and he pitched to
Fager an ability to see stories where
others wouldnt. His insiders knowl-
edge of law enforcement would also
help him identify experts in areas like
improvised explosive devices and per-
suade them to be interviewed by CBS if
the moment called for it.

A motorcyclist who led San Bruno police
on a high-speed chase down the Peninsula was
sentenced to 14 years and eight months in
prison for hitting and dragging an ofcer who
spotted him lingering around the scene of the
citys deadly 2010 explosion and re
Paul Anthony Lee, 36, faced up to 19 years
and eight months in prison after a jury con-
victed the second-striker of evading a police
ofcer, battery on an ofcer and assault on an
ofcer with a deadly weapon, in reference to
his vehicle.
The jury deliberated less than a day before
returning its verdict in September 2012, two
years after the incident. He had been free on a
$100,000 property bond but was taken into
custody once convicted.
Lees case made headlines because it was
the rst case linked to the
deadly gas line explosion
and re that signicantly
damaged the Glenview
neighborhood and killed
eight. A San Bruno police
ofcer and gang enforce-
ment ofcer securing the
area spotted Lee and a
woman on his motorcycle
at the end of the re scene
hours after the Sept. 9, 2010 blaze erupted.
One ofcer, checking on Lees intent, asked
him to dismount the bike but he instead sped
away. An ofcer grabbed Lees jacket and was
dragged several feet before Lee drove over his
foot and sped up to 60 mph through the city to
Highway 101. The chase ended in San Carlos
when the motorcycle died and Lee was appre-
hended.
Lee reportedly told authorities after his
arrest he was riding around the scene to look
at the remains and ed out of fear because of
previous convictions. At the time of his latest
arrest, Lee was on parole for having been sent
to prison in 2003 for possession of a con-
trolled substance and a rearm, in 2005 for
attempted kidnapping of his ex-girlfriend in
front of her family and in 2009 for possession
of methamphetamine.
Prior to sentencing on the new case, Lee
sought a new trial on the basis of ineffective
counsel but, after a ve-hour hearing that
included testimony from his original defense
attorney, Judge Lisa Novak denied the
request. She also denied the defense request to
dismiss the prior strike conviction from sen-
tencing consideration.

One of three people arrested by South San
Francisco police last summer after a Los
Angeles woman reported her husbands cred-
it card being used without permission at a
hotel in the city was sentenced to a year in
jail that can be modified to residential treat-
ment.
Amanda Liesta Masellis, 27, pleaded no
contest to theft and admitted a prior strike in
return for no more than 32 months in cus-
tody. She received a year county jail with
credit for 280 days and the modification to
the Delancey Street drug treatment program.
Her two co-defendants also settled their
cases similarly. Andrea Kilie Chestnut, 28,
pleaded no contest to theft in return for three
years split between 13 months in custody and
23 months of supervision. Arthur Elbert, 38,
pleaded no contest to second-degree burglary
and identity theft. He also admitted a prior
strike in return for no more than four years in
prison when sentenced June 28 but must first
enroll in the jails rehabilitation program.
Officers arrested the three individuals after
receiving a call from the victims wife in late
August. South San Francisco police respond-
ing to the hotel room on the 200 block of
Gateway Boulevard reported finding evi-
dence indicating the trio were involved in a
large-scale identity theft ring. The evidence
included numerous birth certificates, Social
Security numbers, credit cards and a portable
credit card reader.

A Foster City man was arrested after
attempting to sell an AK-47 assault rie with
high-capacity magazines, one 100-round
drum magazine, one .45-caliber Thompson
assault-style weapon and 1,000 rounds of
ammunition last week, according to the San
Mateo County Narcotics Task Force.
On April 25, undercover narcotics agents
negotiated the purchase of two assault
weapons from Steve Bowman, of Foster City,
from his residence in the 100 block of Rock
Harbor Lane, according to the task force.
A search warrant was executed at his resi-
dence after Bowman was taken into custody.
As a result of the search, a loaded handgun
with a high-capacity magazine was located in
the bedroom of Bowmans 3-year-old child.
During the investigation,
agents learned of a second
location Bowman had con-
trol of and a follow-up
search warrant was issued
for a residence in the 3000
Block of Cabrillo Street in
San Francisco, according
to the task force.
As a result of that
search, agents located two
more assault ries, one rie, a shotgun, 12
various caliber handguns, both semi-automat-
ic and revolvers, as well as approximately
10,000 rounds of various caliber ammunition,
according to the task force.
Bowman was booked into the Maguire
Correctional Facility and has since been
released on $150,000 bail.

SACRAMENTO Critics of hydraulic
fracturing urged lawmakers Monday to sup-
port several bills that would impose a morato-
rium on hydraulic fracturing, saying there is
too much uncertainty about the health and
environmental effects of the oil drilling prac-
tice.
More than two-dozen fracking opponents
lined up to share their concerns at an
Assembly Natural Resources Committee hear-
ing, where lawmakers were expected to vote
on three bills that would prohibit fracking
temporarily. The drilling technique involves
blasting water, sand and chemicals into deep
rock formations to release oil or natural gas.
One measure from Assemblywoman Holly
Mitchell, D-Los Angeles, would halt the prac-
tice until an advisory panel analyzes the poten-
tial consequences. Mitchell said scientific
studies have shown a range of environmental
and health effects, both positive and negative.

moratorium on oil fracking

SACRAMENTO State lawmakers sent
Gov. Jerry Brown a pair of consumer protec-
tion bills Monday that prevent health insur-
ance companies from discriminating against
people with pre-existing conditions and limit
how much more insurers can charge older res-
idents.
The legislation updates California laws to
match new rules under the federal Affordable
Care Act and will give state agencies the
power to enforce and regulate individual
insurance rules.
The Assembly passed ABx1-2 on a 49-20
vote, while the Senate passed SBx1-2 on a 27-
9 vote. The Assembly bill makes changes to
the insurance code, while the Senate bill
makes changes to the health and safety code.
The bills now go to the governor, who is
expected to sign them. They were part of a
special legislative session convened by Brown
to implement national health care reforms in
California.
Sen. Joel Anderson, R-Alpine, said he was
reluctant to vote against the bill but fears it
will drive up insurance premiums for many
individuals. He cited an actuarial report com-
missioned by Covered California that found
that middle-income residents could see indi-
vidual health premiums increase by an aver-
age of 30 percent.
It pains me to oppose this because I know
how hard everyones been working, said
Anderson, who voted no.

Connies beautiful, sweet life ended unexpectedly
on April 17, 2013. She was born to Arthur and
Gene Malear on January 17, 1951 in San Francisco.
Connie grew up in Palo Alto, graduated from
Gunn High School, and spent many years as an
administrative assistant in San Francisco, San
Mateo, and Belmont. She received her Associative
of Arts degree from the College of San Mateo in
horticulture and later in psychology from LaMesa
Junior College. She had recently become an in
home care provider and was in much demand for
her care and compassion. Connie loved animals,
especially her birds and beloved rescue dog, Abbey. She walked her daily with her friends.
She traveled to Mexico, Scotland, and England. She enjoyed music, the Sacramento Jazz
Festival with her family, eating out with friends, Disneyland with her sister and nephews,
and reading. Connie will be especially missed by her friends in San Mateo/Belmont who
cherished her spontaneous, cheerful, giving nature. She was always ready for a good walk
to listen to a friend.
Connie was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her sister, Martha Malear
Coe (Thomas) of Sacramento, her beloved nephew, Peter Morrison Coe (Sylvia) and great
nephew Theo of San Francisco, and beloved nephew Samuel Malear Coe of Sacramento, and
Aunt Jody Kelly (John) of Arlington, Texas. Our family has lost a cherished, loving member
who will always be remembered for her sense of humor and kindness. Her laughter could
cheer everyone. Our special thanks to her dear friend, Susan Burkett of San Mateo, for her
support during this difcult time. Services are through the Neptune Society of Sacramento.
A celebration of Connies life will be held later this summer in San Mateo. We know that
Connie would want any remembrances in her name sent to the Peninsula Humane Society.

1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Friday, May 3. Mercy
is an all-girl, Catholic, college preparatory
high school, situated on 40 acres. All sixth
and seventh grade girls are invited to attend
at Mercys campus with tours and student
demonstrations. Mercy is located at 2750
Adeline Drive in Burlingame. For more

On the weekend of May 3-4, Burlingame
High School, along with the BHS Alumni
Association and the student leadership team,
will commemorate the 90th anniversary of
the school. The community is invited to par-
ticipate in a variety of planned activities.
In 1921, voters passed a $361,000 con-
struction bond to purchase land and con-
struct the new school. In December 1923, 30
teachers and 350 students moved from San
Mateo High School to Carolan Avenue in
Burlingame. The sign above the columned
porch read San Mateo High School
Burlingame Branch. The dedication cere-
mony attracted more than a thousand com-
munity members. Burlingame High School
became an independent school in 1927.
The new high school formed its bylaws,
wrote a constitution and created an organiza-
tional structure. It quickly established its
culture and many traditions that remain
today: the Little-Big Game with San Mateo

WASHINGTON State funding for pre-
kindergarten programs had its largest drop
ever last year and states are now spending less
per child than they did a decade ago, accord-
ing to a report released Monday.
The report also found that more than a half
million of those preschool students are in pro-
grams that dont even meet standards suggest-
ed by industry experts that would qualify for
federal dollars.
Those ndings combined with Congress
reluctance to spend new dollars complicate
President Barack Obamas effort to expand
pre-K programs across the country. While
Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Health
and Human Services Secretary Kathleen
Sebelius continue to promote the presidents
proposal, researchers say existing programs
are inadequate, and until their shortcomings
are xed there is little desire by lawmakers to
get behind Obamas call for more preschool.
The state of preschool was a state of emer-
gency, said Steven Barnett, director of the
National Institute for Early Education
Research at Rutgers University, which pro-
duced the report.
During his State of the Union speech,
Obama proposed a federal-state partnership
that would dramatically expand options for
families with young children. Obamas plan
would fund public preschool for any 4-year-
old whose family income was below twice the
federal poverty rate.
If it were in place this year, the plan would
allow a family of four with two children to
enroll students in a pre-K program if the fam-
ily earned less than $46,566.
Students from families who earn more could
participate in the program, but their parents
would have to pay tuition based on their
income. Eventually, 3-year-old students
would be part of the program, too.
As part of his budget request, Obama pro-
posed spending $75 billion over 10 years to
help states get these new programs up and run-
ning. During the first years, Washington
would pick up the majority of the cost before
shifting costs to states.
Its the most signicant opportunity to
expand access to pre-K that this nation has
ever seen, Barnett said of the presidents pro-
posal.
Obama proposed paying for this expansion
by almost doubling the federal tax on ciga-
rettes, to $1.95 per pack.
Obamas pre-K plan faces a tough uphill
climb, though, with the tobacco industry
opposing the tax that would pay for it and law-
makers from tobacco-producing states also
skeptical. Conservative lawmakers have
balked at starting another government pro-
gram, as well. Obamas Democratic allies are
clamoring to make it a priority.

VALLEY SPRINGS A region of oak-
studded hills in California, where big-city
dwellers come to get away from crime, was on
lockdown on Monday, two days after a myste-
rious intruder stabbed an 8-year-old girl to
death at home before being spotted by her 12-
year-old brother.
With the suspect still on the loose, some of
the kids in this enclave nestled in the Sierra
Nevada foothills were hunkering down after
school at James Barcis ranch.
Nobody is staying alone, said Barci, a
truck driver and parent volunteer at Jenny Lind
School, where victim Leila Fowler was a pop-
ular third-grader. I told my work Im not com-
ing in, and Im just going to have all of my
kids friends at the house until this is over.
The apparently random attack has the
tightknit community on edge. Parents such as
Barci spontaneously showed up Monday at the
school of 500 students to give hugs or tie pur-
ple and pink ribbons Leilas favorite colors
to trees on campus. In a pastoral place
where fat horses swish their tails in knee-high
grass and few people had ever bothered to lock
their doors, residents now say their guns are
loaded and they arent afraid to use them.
My husband wanted me to put one in my
car so Id have it in my hand when I entered the
house, Tabatha Camden said as she dropped
off a neighbors children at the school. I drew
the line at that. Weve always had one gun
loaded in the house at all times, but now we
have four.
The Calaveras County Sheriffs Ofce has
released little information about the killing
other than a vague description of a man with
long gray hair who ed when the boy con-
fronted him. Calaveras County Deputy
Coroner Steve Moore said the girl died from
multiple stab wounds.
The Fowler familys hillside street is
blocked off as a crime scene, since nobody
knows for sure yet how the intruder arrived or
where he went.

MILLBRAE Our
countrys economic
roller-coaster ride
has been interesting
and historic for
sure, but also very
troubling for many
families whove not
been as financially stable as others.
Recently though Ive been observing a
phenomenon with those we serve at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. It may
be too early to confirm, but it appears that
there is a general state of confidence with
many families, along with the decisions and
choices they make during funeral
arrangements. Yes, I know you are thinking
that confidence is not a term you would
use to coincide with funeral arrangements,
but it appears to me that people I see are
tending to be more financially assured than
during the deepest years of The Great
Recession.
They say that the two things you cant
avoid are death and taxes. With that in
mind, during the economic downturn I saw a
very noticeable sense of thrift and
prudence with a lot of families who
experienced a death during that period.
Still, those who tended to cost shop at
various funeral homes selected CHAPEL
OF THE HIGHLANDS to handle funeral or
cremation arrangements. These families
found comfort with our service, and notably
with our more economic cost structure.
Now, lately the trend with families and
their funeral choices reminds me of the days
way before the recession hit. Its not that
people are utilizing their funds differently,
spending more or spending less, but that
they are more assertive and confident when
using their wallet. Seeing this over and over
gives me a good indication that something in
the economic climate is changing compared
to not that long ago.
Even though many of our honorable
elected officials in Sacramento and
Washington D.C. appear to be as inflexible
with economic issues as always, the air of
confidence with the families Ive been
dealing with means to me that these people
are feeling less pressured financially.
It is well known that when businesses do
well they hire more employees, and when
those employees are confident they will
spend their money on goods and services.
In turn, the companies that provide goods
and services will need competent employees
to create more goods, give more services,
and so onmaking a positive circle for a
healthy economy. In relation to that, after a
long period of U.S. manufacturing jobs
being sent over-seas there is news of a
growing number of companies bringing this
work back to the United States. Real Estate
values on the Peninsula remained in a good
state during the recession, but houses here
are now in demand more than ever.
Encouraging Hopeful and Positive
are words to describe the optimistic
vibrations that people are giving off. If the
community is becoming more comfortable
with spending, that indicates good health for
business and the enrichment of our
economic atmosphere. I hope Im right, so
lets all keep our fingers crossed.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

OXFORD, Miss. A Mississippi mans
house is uninhabitable after investigators
searched it but failed to nd evidence of the
deadly poison ricin, a lawyer said Monday,
arguing that the government should repair the
home.
Kevin Curtis was once charged in the mail-
ing of poisoned letters to President Barack
Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker and a
Mississippi judge, but the charges were later
dropped. The investigation shifted last week
to another man who had a falling out with
Curtis, and that suspect appeared in court
Monday on a charge of making ricin.
Curtis lawyer, Christi McCoy, has sent a
letter to U.S. Attorney Felicia Adams demand-
ing that Curtis be provided temporary housing
and the government repair his Corinth, Miss.,
home and possessions. She also wants the
government to pay his legal bills.
To be specic, Mr. Curtis home is unin-
habitable. I have seen a lot of post search res-
idences but this one is quite disturbing. The
agents removed art from the walls, broke the
frames and tore the artwork. Mr. Curtis
offered his keys but agents chose to break the
lock. Mr. Curtis garbage was scheduled to be
picked up Thursday, the day after he was
snatched from his life. A week later, the
garbage remains in his home, along with mil-
lions of insects it attracted, the letter says.
Though attorneys for Curtis say their client
was framed, McCoy believes whoever sent the
letters had a primary goal of targeting the pub-
lic ofcials. Curtis has said that he feuded
with the man now charged in the case, James
Everett Dutschke.
I think Kevin was just an afterthought or a
scapegoat, McCoy said.
Some of the language in the letters was sim-
ilar to posts on Curtis Facebook page and
they were signed, I am KC and I approve this
message. Curtis often used a similar online
signoff.
Had damaging Curtis been the point of the
scheme, McCoy said she believes that whoev-
er set up her client could have done a better
job of implicating him, such as planting evi-
dence at his home.

WASHINGTON The Veterans Affairs
Department is withholding bonuses for senior
ofcials who oversee disability claims, citing
a failure to meet performance goals for reduc-
ing a sizable backlog in claims processing.
The backlog has increased dramatically
over the past three years, and the department
has come under intense criticism from veter-
ans groups and members of Congress.
VA spokesman Josh Taylor said Monday
that the savings would be used to help reduce
the backlog. He could provide no specics nor
say how many people would be affected.
In all, records show the department paid its
senior executives a total of $2.8 million in
bonuses in scal 2011.
During that same year, the number of dis-
ability claims pending for longer than 125
days jumped from less than 200,000 to nearly
500,000.

Boston suspects
defense team gets major boost

ty for several high-prole

appoint a second death penalty lawyer
David Bruck, a professor at Washington and
Lee University School of Law.
Tsarnaev has been charged with using a

Off-duty Berkeley police officer
stabbed in Burlingame bar brawl
An off-duty Berkeley police ofcer was
stabbed several times and three others were
injured in a brawl involving dozens of people
outside a Burlingame bar on Saturday night, a
police sergeant said.
Two groups of people confronted each other
outside of the Vinyl Room at 221 Park Road, off
of Burlingame Avenue, shortly before midnight,
Burlingame police Sgt. Don Shepley said.
A group of about 10 people had been denied
entry to the bar because a private party was tak-
ing place inside, Shepley said. When members
of the party exited the building, a ght broke out
between the groups, he said.
Witnesses told police that somewhere
between 40 and 60 people were involved in the
altercation, Shepley said.
The Berkeley ofcer who was stabbed was
taken to a hospital and is listed in stable condi-
tion. Shepley said there is no indication that the
ofcer identied himself as such during the
ght.
Also during the brawl, a bottle was thrown
and struck a woman, causing a severe cut to the
back of her head. Two others complained of
pain after being punched and kicked, Shepley
said.
The investigation showed no previous con-
nection between the two groups, and no arrests
have been made in the case, police said.
Anyone with information about the ght is
encouraged to call police at 777-4100.

Rare butterflies, open
space protected through 2043
Four endangered buttery species living in
San Bruno Mountain State and County Park
have been granted another 30 years of protec-
tion, thanks to a conservation plan announced
by county ofcials Monday allowing limited
development near the park in exchange for
habitat restoration funding.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in collab-
oration with San Mateo County and the cities of
Brisbane, Daly City and South San Francisco,
have approved a 30-year extension of San
Bruno Mountain Parks original Habitat
Conservation Plan, which in 1983 was the rst
HCP to be created under the federal
Endangered Species Act of 1973, according to
county ofcials.
In addition to protecting grasslands that sup-
port the endangered Mission Blue, San Bruno
Eln, Bay Checkerspot and Callippe Silverspot
butteries, the Habitat Conservation Plan also
ensures survival of 14 rare and endangered
plant species found in the 2,864-acre park,
according to county ofcials.
The parks summit of 1,314 feet is a landmark
to the north Peninsula and offers unobstructed,
360-degree views of San Francisco, the East
Bay, Mount Diablo and Pacic Ocean. San
Bruno Mountains 12 miles of hiking, riding
and jogging trails link various vista points and a
disabilities access trail, the Bog Trail, is located
near the park entrance, according to county of-
cials.
San Bruno Mountain Parks original Habitat
Conservation Plan allowed development on 330
acres at the base of the mountain, but also added
800 protected acres to the park. Land develop-
ers and property owners near the park con-
tribute annually to a perpetual fund for restora-
tion of buttery habitat on San Bruno
Mountain.

Man assaulted in Belmont
Belmont police are on the lookout for
someone who assaulted a man early Monday
morning on Broadway between Civic Lane

Three abalone divers die,
including retired Pacifica firefighter
A retired Pacica reghter and a San
Francisco man died in separate incidents while
diving for abalone on the Sonoma County coast
this weekend, a Sonoma County sheriffs ser-
geant said.
A third diver was killed in yet another inci-
dent in coastal Mendocino County, authorities
said.
A Sonoma County sheriffs helicopter
responded around 1 p.m. Saturday to a report
of a distressed diver at Shell Beach in the Sea
Ranch area, Sgt. Ed Hoener said.
Cedric William Collette, 66, of Pacica, who
was diving with a friend, was found under
water, Hoener said.
Because Collette was an experienced diver
and was still wearing his weight belt when he
was found, it is believed he might have suffered
a medical emergency, Hoener said.
Collette was pronounced dead at 1:49 p.m., a
Sonoma County coroners ofce spokeswoman
said.
In the second incident, the helicopter crew
responded around 8 a.m. Sunday to a report of
a diver in distress at Gerstle Cove near Salt
Point State Park, Hoener said.
Kenneth Liu, 36, of San Francisco, was also
diving with a friend, and the friend heard him
calling for help after he was pulled away from
shore by a rip tide, Hoener said.
People on shore swam out to him and man-
aged to bring him back to land against the
strong tide, but emergency responders were
unable to revive him, Hoener said.

Letters to the editor
California history
Editor,
In reference to Chuck McDougalds latest
comments; does his writing represent the
official voice of the California Republican
Party or are these columns filled with his
own opinions? Its confusing to this reader
(GOP and immigrants guest perspective
in the April 27 edition of the Daily
Journal).
Im told that California was once a some-
what peaceful Spanish then Mexican gov-
erned land. The European colonial language
for Alto California was Spanish.
Geographically bound to Latin America,
Spanish didnt quite disappear the way
French had after the Louisiana Purchase as
the United States pushed westward.
Its been said that hardly a shot was fired
in California during the US-Mexican War.
Many settled Alto-Californians stayed on
after their flags were exchanged, soon to be
eclipsed by the mass arrival of wagons and
ships filled with first and second generation
settlers; seeking gold in them thar hills.
A vast number of Californian farm work-
ers spoke Spanish. Eventually organized by
Cesar Chavez; they helped California
become the nations most important food
provider (Toiling the soil in all weather
conditions isnt work for the weak or
timid).
Our Californian Hispanic heritage is
everywhere; places, politics, sports, music,
art, theater, literature, film, fashion and
food, you name it. We should be proud of
this unique heritage.
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor
provides all Americans with legal justice on

prised to see Los Angeles Mayor Antonio
Villaraigosa or Florida Sen. Marco Rubio
seeking higher office soon.
Will that surprise Chuck McDougald? I
hope not.

guest perspective on immigration
Editor,
Mr. McDougald, Republicans want every
immigrant to succeed? (GOP and immi-
grants guest perspective in the April 27
edition of the Daily Journal). The irony is
then how come we have 11 million immi-
grants who have been here for years work-
ing under the wire in most entry level posi-
tions because they cant get a Social
Security number? Is that not due to our
Republican congress and senators? They
cant get a drivers license, loans and into
college. Seems to me they are suffering
from conservative policies that think depor-
tation is the answer rather than fighting to
make them our citizens.
I agree with you on all of us came from
somewhere except natives who we tried to
exterminate. My ancestors were Irish and
German. We cannot forget the Mexican
American war. Latinos owned a large part
of the southern United States. The 60 mil-
lion legal Hispanics here in our country
have pretty much let America know in our
last election they want to be heard and they
want equality and fairness. You are right
they have a choice. I hope both parties will
work together and work hard like these
immigrants are, Mr. McDougald. John
McCain is now in my perspective an
American hero and I say thank you for
working his 2010 campaign. We all proba-
bly know many immigrants on a personal
level or indirectly who want what we have:
an opportunity like us to become a citizen.

Sequestration priorities
Editor,
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo,
voted on Friday to ease air traffic delays by
allowing the FAA budget flexibility it oth-
erwise would not have under sequester.
Apparently, inconvenienced air travelers are
more important to her than:
1). Long-term unemployed: sequestration
cut federal long-term unemployment insur-
ance checks by up to 10.7 percent;
2). Low-income children: children across
the country have been kicked out of Head
Start education programs because of
sequestrations 5 percent cuts;
3). Cancer victims: Budget cuts have
forced doctors and cancer clinics to deny
chemotherapy treatments to thousands of
cancer patients thanks to a 2 percent cut to
Medicare;
4). AIDS sufferers: The National
Institutes of Health lost $1.6 billion thanks
to sequestration, jeopardizing important
health research on AIDS, cancer and other
diseases;
5). Low-income families: 140,000 low-
income families primarily seniors with
disabilities and families with children
will lose rental assistance thanks to seques-
trations budget cuts;
6). Students: Sequestration is already
raising fees on direct student loans, increas-
ing costs for students who are already
buried in debt;
7). Low-income and disabled seniors:
Local Meals on Wheels programs, which
help low-income and disabled seniors
access food, have faced cuts costing tens of
thousands of seniors access to the program;
and
8). The poor: The Low Income Home
Energy Assistance Program helps nearly 9
million households afford their heating and
cooling bills. Sequestration will cut the pro-
gram, so about 400,000 households will no
longer receive aid.
But I guess as long as she doesnt have to
wait for a plane that makes it OK.

Right-wing lies
Editor,
I had given up on reading Daily Journal
opinion page because of the constant
stream of right-wing, ignorant, whining
talking points. I gave it another try only to
see a guest perspective by Chris Conway
published in the April 22 edition that is
exactly the same baloney.
His complaint? San Mateo is complying
with Measure B, which was passed by vot-
ers, and requiring that supervisors be elect-
ed by-district rather than by an at-large
vote of the entire county. Until this voter-
approved switch, San Mateo was the only
county in California in which supervisors
were chosen countywide.
Chris, this isnt about diluting the value of
your vote; its about allowing under-repre-
sented areas to have more of a say. Stop the
juvenile whining and name-calling, OK?
Below, in the letters of the same edition,
Joe Locasto throws out two completely false
assertions. First, there are not more people
in California on welfare than those who are
employed. I looked up the source of this
claim, and even the original author
acknowledges that.
Second, when sworn in as governor the
first time, Jerry Brown inherited a surplus
from Reagan of $555 million. After three
years, it had grown to $5.3 billion, and by
the end of his fourth year, it had gone up
another half billion, making Californias
surplus larger than those of all the other
states combined.

How can we fight
what we refuse to name?
Editor,
The Obama administration refuses to say
we have a War on Terror, calling it over-
seas contingency operations. When Libyan
Al-Qaida affiliates murdered four
Americans in Benghazi, Mr. Obama repeat-
edly and falsely blamed an American film-
maker, not the terrorists themselves. In
November 2009 when Nidal Malik Hassan,
an Islamist U.S. Army officer, shouting
Allah is great, murdered 13 Americans at
Fort Hood, Texas, President Obama refused
to label it an act of terrorism. His adminis-
tration labeled it, (can you believe this?)
workplace violence. And even now,
Obama still will not mention the term
Muslim Jihadi terrorism in the same
breath as the Boston Marathon bombing.
Who knows? Perhaps we might hear Team
Obama label the marathon tragedy as
Sports hooliganism!
So why is all this important? It is simply
this: If our leaders dont have the courage to
even name our enemy, how can we fight it?

With a paddle
F
lorida education administrators now
have a new way to teach unruly stu-
dents a lesson that standby, the ol
paddle.
After a three-
year absence, the
Marion County
School Board
voted last week to
reinstate corporal
punishment with a
few caveats.
Parents must give
the school written
approval every
year combined
with verbal permis-
sion at the time
actual punishment is imposed. Paddling can
only be used at the elementary school level,
only on a child once per semester and, oh
yeah, principals arent actually required to
grab the board which means they can always
go soft and demand an essay explaining the
scofaws actions.
First, a question. A three-year absence? This
means up until three years ago, schools in this
district were able to adhere to the spare the
rod, spoil the child thinking that most of us
would probably assume had long ago gone the
way of new math and overhead projectors.
Teachers and administrators can rarely do
much more than look cross-eyed at a pupil
without risking legal ramications so its a lit-
tle surprising to hear of a complete 180-degree
attitude shift across the country. Of course,
this is Florida and Florida for all intents and
purposes is a bit, shall we say, different. The
trials and tribulations of Florida folk shav-
ing while driving, random crimes involving
meth and a lack of common sense, pretty
much anything too wacky to be believed
even inspired a Twitter account devoted to
every headline that begins Florida man. So
on one hand, of course if corporal punishment
as behavior modier is to be used anywhere it
would be the crazy Sunshine State. On the
other hand, as those same headlines show,
why doesnt it seem to be working?
But back to the school districts reinstate-
ment what isnt exactly clear is why only
elementary school students risk a date with a
plank when certainly there are more than a
few high schoolers who might warrant a little
schooling. Another unknown is when exactly
a principal will decide to use this latest instru-
ment in the disciplinary tool box. The rules
say a student can only be smacked once per
semester which could prove for some difcult
decisions for the paddle-wielding administra-
tion. As the principal, do you waste punish-
ment on a little insubordination or refusal to
do homework then keep the ngers crossed
little Jane or Johnny doesnt decide to torch
the cafeteria six weeks later when they cant
be paddled again? Do you leave the child
alone in an abundance of caution when they
ood the hall bathroom only to nd yourself
near the end of the semester wondering if a
few whacks over chronic tardiness is dispro-
portionate? And what if the kiddies have been
sneaking Fifty Shades of Grey during
English and actually seek out a spanking? Its
certainly no punishment when they ask.
On the ip side, students with a streak of
mischief and a fondness of rule-breaking must
also make some considerations. Do they pur-
posely land in hot water early in the semester
nothing earth-shattering but bad enough to
justify a trip to the principals ofce just to
clear the way for bigger troubles without a
beating down the road? Once they receive an
unintended paddling, do they throw all sense
of decorum out the window because the deter-
rent effect is gone until the next semester?
Suspensions, time-outs and even writing
sentences on a chalkboard might not have the
same impact as a turn with a wooden plank
but those punishments are starting to look like
more straightforward options compared to
paddlings lingering questions. Like they say,
if you cant beat em, join em.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Technology compa-
nies led the Standard & Poors 500 index
to an all-time closing high Monday.
The stock market has recovered all the
ground it lost over the previous two
weeks, when worries over slower eco-
nomic growth, falling commodity prices
and disappointing quarterly earnings
battered nancial markets.
The S&P 500 index rose 11.37 points
to close at 1,593.61. The 0.7 percent
increase nudged the index above its pre-
vious closing high of 1,593.36, reached
on April 11.
The market has had a terric run,
said Philip Orlando, chief equity strate-
gist at Federated Investors, noting that
the S&P 500 is up 12 percent since the
start of 2013. At the beginning of the
year, I thought we were going to 1,660
(for the whole year). Were only about 5
percent from that.
A pair of better economic reports gave
investors some encouragement. Wages
and spending rose in the U.S. last month,
and pending home sales hit their highest
level in three years.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
106.20 points to 14,818.75, up 0.7 per-
cent. Microsoft and IBM were among
the Dows best performers, rising more
than 2 percent each.
IBM, which rose $4.84 to $199.15,
accounted for a third of the Dows
increase. The index is just 46 points
below its own record high of 14,865
reached on April 11.
Techs popularity Monday was a
change from earlier this month, when it
lagged the rest of the market. Concerns
about weak business spending and slow-
er overseas sales have cast a shadow
over big tech rms, said Marty Leclerc,
the managing partner of Barrack Yard
Advisors, an investment rm in Bryn
Mawr, Pa.
Revenue misses from IBM and other
big tech companies have highlighted the
industrys vulnerability to the world
economy. But Leclerc thinks tech com-
panies with steady revenue and plenty of
cash look appealing over the long term.
Information technology stocks rose
the most of the 10 industry groups in the
S&P 500 on Monday, up 1.6 percent. Its
the only group that remains lower over
the past year, down 2 percent, versus the
S&P 500s gain of 14 percent.
Federateds Orlando thinks tech stocks
could continue to rally as investors shift
money from companies that pay big div-
idends and have rallied recently -- utili-
ties, healthcare and consumer staples.
Theyve been buying these companies,
but four months into this year theyve
gotten expensive, Orlando said.
The Nasdaq composite rose 27.76
points to 3,307.02, an increase of 0.9
percent. Apple, the biggest stock in the
index, surged 3 percent, or $12.92, to
$430.12.
The Nasdaq remains far below its
record closing high of 5,048.62, hit
March 10, 2000, before the dot-com
bubble popped.
The number of Americans who signed
contracts to buy homes reached the high-
est level since April 2010, according to
the National Association of Realtors.
Back then, a tax credit for buying hous-
es had lifted sales. In a separate report,
the government said Americans spend-
ing and income both edged up last
month.
A handful of companies reported earn-
ings on Monday. Eaton Corp.s quarterly
net income beat Wall Streets estimates,
helped by its acquisition of Cooper
Industries, an electrical equipment sup-
plier. But the manufacturers revenue fell
short. Its stock climbed 3 percent, or
$1.63, to $60.28.
Eatons results followed a larger pat-
tern this earnings season. Of the 274
companies that have turned in results,
seven of 10 have beaten analysts esti-
mates for earnings, according to S&P
Capital IQ. But when it comes to rev-
enue, six of 10 have missed estimates.
That suggests companies are squeezing
more prots out of cost cutting, instead
of higher sales.
S&P 500 reaches new high, led by tech
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Monday on the New
York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
J.C. Penney Co. Inc., up 19 cents at $17.19
The retailer conrmed that investment bank The Goldman Sachs Group
Inc. will provide $1.75 billion in nancing.
Penske Automotive Group Inc., up $1.62 at $31.42

Big movers
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON This year got off to a
sour start for U.S. workers: Their pay,
already gasping to keep pace with inflation,
was suddenly shrunk by a Social Security tax
increase.
Which raised a worrisome question:
Would consumers stop spending and further
slow the economy? Nope. Not yet, anyway.
On Friday, the government said consumers
spent 3.2 percent more on an annual basis in
the January-March quarter than in the previ-
ous quarter the biggest jump in two years.
And in a report Monday, the government
said consumers increased their spending in
each month, by 0.2 percent in March, 0.7
percent in February and 0.3 percent in
January.
The spending increases highlighted a
broader improvement in Americans finan-
cial health that is blunting the impact of the
tax increase and raising hopes for more sus-
tainable growth.
Consumers have shed debt. Gasoline has
gotten cheaper. Rising home values and
record stock prices have restored household
wealth to its pre-recession high. And
employers are steadily adding jobs, which
means more people have money to spend.
No one should write off the consumer
simply because of the 2 percentage-point
increase in payroll taxes, says Bernard
Baumohl, chief economist at the Economic
Outlook Group. Overall household finances
are in the best shape in more than five years.
Spending weakened toward the end of the
January-March quarter. Spending at retailers
fell in March by 0.4 percent, the worst show-
ing in nine months. And more spending on
utilities accounted for up to one-fourth of the
increase in consumer spending in the
January-March quarter, according to
JPMorgan Chase economist Michael Feroli,
because of colder weather.
Higher spending on utilities isnt a barom-
eter of consumer confidence the way spend-
ing on household goods, such as new appli-
ances or furniture, would be.
U.S. consumers keep spending despite reduced pay
WEALTH IS UP
Home prices rose more than 10 percent in the 12 months
that ended in February. And both the Dow Jones industrial
average and Standard & Poors 500 stock indexes reached
record highs in the rst quarter. As a result, Americans have
recovered the $16 trillion in wealth that was wiped out by
the Great Recession. Economists estimate that each dollar
of additional wealth adds roughly 3 cents to spending. That
means last years $5.5 trillion run-up in wealth could spur
about $165 billion in additional consumer spending this
year. Thats much more than the $120 billion cost of the
higher Social Security taxes.
The resilience in spending, despite increased taxes,
suggests that rising household wealth is providing an off-
set to higher taxes and spending cuts, says James Marple,
an economist at TD Bank.
DEBT IS DOWN
Household debt now equals 102 percent of after-tax
income, down from a peak of 126 percent in 2007. Thats
almost back to its long-term trend, according to economists
at Deutsche Bank. And households are paying less interest
on their debts, largely because of the Federal Reserves
efforts to keep borrowing rates at record lows. The percent-
age of after-tax income that Americans spent on interest
and debt payments dropped to 10.4 percent in the October-
December quarter last year. Thats the lowest such gure in
the 32 years that the Federal Reserve has tracked the data.
JOBS ARE UP
Employers have added an average of 188,000 jobs a
month in the past six months, up from 130,000 in the pre-
vious six. Job gains slowed in March to only 88,000. But
most economists expect at least a modest rebound in com-
ing months. And layoffs sank to a record low in January.
Fewer layoffs tend to make people feel more secure in their
jobs and more willing to spend.
GAS PRICES ARE DOWN
Gasoline prices have fallen in the past year and are like-
ly to stay low. Nationwide, the average price of a gallon of
gas has dropped 28 cents since this years peak of $3.79 on
Feb. 27. Analysts expect gas to drop an additional 20 cents
over the next two months. Each 10 cent drop over a full
year translates into roughly $13 billion in savings for con-
sumers.
LOAN COSTS ARE DOWN
Lower interest rates have enabled millions of Americans
to save money by renancing their mortgages. Mortgage
giant Freddie Mac estimates that in the fourth quarter of
2012, homeowners who renanced cut their interest rate by
one-third, the biggest reduction in 27 years the agency has
tracked the data. On a $200,000 loan, that means $3,600 in
savings over the next 12 months.
Among the trends
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The number of
Americans who signed contracts to buy
homes rose in March to the highest level in
three years, pointing to higher sales this
spring.
The National Association of Realtors said
Monday that its seasonally adjusted index for
pending home sales rose 1.5 percent to 105.7.
Thats the highest since April 2010, when a
homebuyers tax credit boosted sales. Its also
above Februarys reading of 104.1.
There is generally a one- to two-month lag
between a signed contract and a completed
sale. Contract signings rose in the South, West
and Midwest, and were unchanged in the
Northeast.
Steady job gains and near-record low mort-
gage rates have helped drive home sales up
over the past year. Signed contracts are 7 per-
cent higher than the same month a year earlier.
But completed sales have slowed in recent
months and dipped in March because of
a limited supply of available homes on the
market. The number of homes for sale has
fallen nearly 17 percent in the past year to
1.93 million, the Realtors group said last
week. At the current sales pace, that supply
would be exhausted in 4.7 months, below the
6 months that is typical in healthier markets.
Buyer trafc is 25 percent higher than it was
a year ago. Rising demand and low supply is
fueling more home construction.
U.S. builders started work on more than 1
million homes at an annual rate in March.
Thats the rst time the pace has topped that
threshold in nearly 5 years.

SAN FRANCISCO Siri may be feeling a
little job insecurity. The sometimes droll
assistant that answers questions and helps
people manage their lives on Apples iPhone
and iPad is facing competition from an up-
and-coming rival made by Google.
The duel began Monday with the release of
a free iPhone and iPad app that features
Google Now, a technology that performs
many of the same functions as Siri.
Its the rst time that Google Now has been
available on smartphones and tablet comput-
ers that arent running on the latest version of
Googles Android software. The technology,
which debuted nine months ago, is being
included in an upgrade to Googles search
application for iOS, the Apple Inc. software
that powers the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
Its up to each user to decide whether to acti-
vate Google Now within the redesigned
Google Search app, which is available
through Apples app store.
Siri tried to dismiss the competitive threat.
When asked for an opinion about Google
Now, Siri responded: If its all the same to
you, Id rather Google later.
Mike Allton, a St. Charles, Mo., resident
who has owned an iPhone for four years,
could hardly wait to check out Google Now,
even if Siri might interpret it as a betrayal.
Siri is looking a little green with envy,
Allton, 36, said with a laugh after he installed
Googles new app.

Safeway names
Edwards as new CEO
Safeway Inc. has named company presi-
dent Robert Edwards as its new CEO, to suc-
ceed Steven Burd when he retires in May.
The supermarket chain announced in
January that Burd would retire this spring
after more than 20 years with the grocer.
Edwards, 57, has served in a number of
leadership positions since joining the com-
pany in 2004. Before Safeway, Edwards
was a senior executive with Maxtor Corp.,
Imation Corp. and Santa Fe Pacific Corp.
Burd has been CEO of Safeway since
1993 and was named chairman in 1998.
Edwards will join the board upon taking his
new position.
Safeway said that T. Gary Rogers, the
companys lead independent director, will
become non-executive chairman following
Burds retirement.
The company, based in Pleasanton, Calif.,
operates 1,638 stores in the U.S. and
Canada.
Shares of Safeway rose 20 cents to close at
$23.51 amid a broad market rally and added
three cents in after-hours trading following
the announcement.

E
very baseball player knows when he
has put the perfect swing on a pitch
just by the sound of the ball connect-
ing with the bat. Its one of the purest sounds
in sports the perfect symphony of a ball
cutting through the air and a batter putting
the absolutely most perfect swing on it. Its
as if the batter doesnt even feel the bat
vibrate from the hit.
Call it what you want, it goes by a variety
of descriptions: on the screws, on the sweet
spot, squaring it up, nutting it, getting a hold
of one, a laser, drilling,
all verbs to describe the
perfect conuence of
baseball and bat.
That is precisely how
Half Moon Bays Brett
Berghammer must have
felt when he got into an
Erik Amundson offering
during the Cougars 10-4
loss to Menlo-Atherton
Friday. Berghammer did
what his namesake sug-
gests: he hammered an
Amundson 1-0 offering
in the top of the fourth.
In the blink of an eye, literally, you heard
the crack of the bat and the pop of
Amundsons glove for a line-drive out. It was
the type of connection by Berghammer that
seriously injures a pitcher.
Amundson was none the worse for wear.
His delivery naturally nishes with his glove
hand up near his ear which the ball mirac-
ulously found instead of Amundsons head.

in attendance could only react to Amundsons

Honor Roll-worthy performances throughout

The Knights were led offensively by Joe

including the key hit of the game a two-out,
bases loaded triple that gave the Menlo a 4-0
lead in the fourth.
Brock Cozad added a grand slam in the sev-
enth and the Knights ended the contest with
three homers and seven triples on the day
13 different players got hits.
On the hill, Chris Atkeson picked up his fth
win of the season as he, Jack Redmond and
Austin Marcus combined to throw a two-hitter
and strikeout nine.

Tebow Time in New York over after Jets cut QB
NEW YORK The possibilities appeared endless for Tim
Tebow.
Here he was, perhaps the most popular player in the NFL, in
New York as a member of the Jets and maybe the biggest thing
to hit Broadway since Joe Namath himself.
There were billboards outside the Lincoln Tunnel in New
Jersey welcoming Tebow, and sandwiches named after him at
Manhattan delis. He also had a legion of fans who followed
him because of his strong Christian beliefs.
Giants break out of funk
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX Brandon Belt hit a
two-run single in the eighth inning,
helping the San Francisco Giants
beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-
4 Monday night to end a five-game
losing streak.
Belt also had a solo homer in the
second inning against Ian Kennedy.
The first baseman broke a 4-all tie
in the eighth after Brad Ziegler (1-
1) gave up a leadoff double to Nick
Noonan and walked two.
Marco Scutaro had three hits and
scored two runs for the World
Series champion Giants. Jean
Machi (1-0) pitched a perfect sev-
enth inning for his first win in the
majors and Sergio Romo worked
the ninth for his ninth save.
The Diamondbacks scored all
four of their runs in the fourth
inning on homers off Matt Cain.
Jason Kubel had a two-run shot
and Eric Chavez and Martin Prado
each hit a solo drive, but Arizona
had two more hits.
A three-time All-Star, Cain final-
ly got some run support, but con-
tinued to struggle with the long
ball.
The Giants scored three runs in
his first five starts and matched that
in the first two innings.
San Francisco scored a pair of
runs off Kennedy in the first inning
on a sacrifice fly by Hunter Pence
and Gregor Blancos run-scoring
single. Belt led off the second with
a drive to right to make it 3-0.
Cain allowed six homers in his
previous three starts, and the balls
kept flying over the walls in the
fourth against Arizona.
He walked Cody Ross to lead off
the inning and Kubel sent the next
pitch over the wall with a towering
shot to right. Chavez tied it two
pitches later with a line-drive solo
shot that cleared the wall in left.
Prado hit a third homer in the
inning a first for Arizona since
Aug. 11, 2010, at Milwaukee
when he drove a 1-2 pitch that Cain
left over the plate near where
Chavezs homer landed.
Once cruising, Cain found him-
self trailing 4-3 after Arizonas
homer barrage.
Cain allowed five hits, struck out
six and walked four in six innings.
He didnt figure in the decision,
though, after Pablo Sandoval hit a
tying run-scoring single in the fifth.
Kennedy allowed four runs and
seven hits in seven innings.
NOTES: Arizona RHP Daniel
Hudson threw about 30 pitches in a
simulated game and another 20
during warmups in the latest step
toward his return from Tommy
John surgery last season. The
Diamondbacks hope to have him
back before the All-Star break. ...

Every boys lacrosse team, within
its offensive philosophy, is going to
have a set of rules. Its like comput-
er program, said Menlo-Atherton
head coach Steven Kryger if this
happens, then this has to follow.
But, if youre Duncan McGinnis,
goal scorer for the M-A Bears, the
rules simply do not apply to you.
In a sense, the junior, with 30
goals on the league season, knows
M-As offensive philosophy so well
that Kryger said McGinnis is able to
live in a world where he can bend
those rules almost at will.
Thats when you know that a
player really ultimately understands
[the philosophy], Kryger said.
Duncan wants to know ... when do
I break that rule? When is it OK to
go counter to that? And everybody
has to be on the same page.
McGinnis has used that under-
standing and taken his game to new
heights this season for the Bears.
Always a gifted scorer, McGinnis
now possesses a vision of the game
that allows him to be a very efcient
player. That, coupled with his never-
ending motor, has made the Bear
one of the leagues best and most
dangerous predators.
We call him the human gnat,
Kryger said. And we call him that
because he is just bugs everyone
that plays against him. He is non-
stop movement. He is constantly
looking to set screens, come off of
screens. Hes got a real good knack
for timing knowing when a team-
mate is going to receive the ball,
when to cut. He will lull defense-
man into a false sense of security.
The Los Gatos High School
defenders know exactly what
Kryger is talking about. Last week
in a win over Los Gatos, M-A rolled
to the tune of 20-3 nine of those
goals were scored by McGinnis. He
also assisted in two more.
For his efforts, McGinnis is the
Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
That win against Los Gatos
marked a high for McGinnis and the
Bears. After going through a bit of a
lull in the middle part of the season,
McGinnis, and M-A by extension,
have found quite the offensive
groove. In that game against Los
Gatos, McGinnis only took nine
shots. All nine found twine.
He communicates so well with
him teammates, Kryger said,
adding that McGinnis also has 11
assists, good for second on the team.
Thats another strength of his. Hes
always talking to his teammates. If
youre going to break the rules, your
teammates need to know as well
this is what were going to do in this
situation.
Kryger said a lot of McGinnis
success as a crease attacker comes
from his time playing in the con-
ned spaces of box lacrosse. Its
there that McGinnis develops his
quickness and agility, plus great
stick control and a lighting fast shot.
After a hot start, as McGinnis
production went down, so did M-
As. For Kryger, it was a matter of
going back to basics.
He really took it to heart,
Kryger said. I think hes put him-
self in a better position now to
where when he gets the ball, hes in
a better position to shoot. That was
the rst step.
The second has come in the form
of defense. McGinnis gnat-like
qualities apply to the defensive end
as well where hes recorded 12
forced turnovers and 32 ground
balls all in just 10 league games.
Those are extra possessions,
Kryger said. And clearly, the more
possessions you have in the game,
the more chances you get to shoot.
And when McGinnis gets a
chance to shoot, he rarely misses.
For the season, McGinnis is shoot-
ing 60 percent (30 goals on 50
shots) the average high school
player shoots at about half that.

SAN JOSE The San Jose
Sharks have searched for an identity
on their journey through this lock-
out-shortened season.
There was the high-powered
power play that helped them get off
to a record-setting start. Then came
an offensively challenged seven-
week stretch that jeopardized their
playoff chances, followed by a
strong closing stretch that has the
team brimming with confidence
heading into the postseason.
With three potent scoring lines, a
goaltender playing at the top of his
game and more speed throughout
the lineup, the Sharks head into the
playoffs starting Wednesday night
in Vancouver with the roster and
style of play they hope can succeed
in the postseason.
I think weve got more of an
identity right now, forward Tommy
Wingels said. We really do. In the
past 15, 20 games we found what
really made us successful and thats
playing the north-south game. At
times you can make great plays but
at other times you just have to
advance the puck. If a team is
swarming and constantly hounding
the puck you have to move for-
ward.
This has been a rollercoaster sea-
son for San Jose. With the benet of
continuity in a season without a real
training camp or preseason, the
Sharks started fast by winning a
franchise-record seven straight
games to open the season that fea-
tured a 4-1 home win against the
Canucks.
Then the wheels fell off for San
Jose during a stretch when the team
lost 17 of 23 games to fall out of
playoff position with just over a
month left in the regular season.
The team then turned its fortunes
during an impressive closing stretch
to the season that was fueled by
strong goaltending from Antti
Niemi, a few under-the-radar trades
before the deadline and the move of
defenseman Brent Burns to forward.
We feel great going into the
playoffs, forward TJ Galiardi said.
Weve had some time to play with
our linemates the way the lines are
right now. Guys are starting to get
good chemistry. We have a pretty
balanced attack. Guys cant wait to
get it started.
The Sharks went 12-3-1 to clinch
their ninth straight postseason berth
the second longest current run in
the NHL before losing the nal
two games.
The Sharks became a much faster
skating team with pre-deadline
deals that sent impending free
agents Douglas Murray, Michal
Handzus and Ryane Clowe out.
Raf Torres was brought in to add
speed and an imposing physical
player to the third line and players
like Galiardi, Justin Braun and Matt
Irwin got more consistent playing
time.
Playing fast is just getting the
puck out of our end quick and get-
ting into the other zone quicker,
defenseman Dan Boyle said.
Todays game theres not so much
pretty plays passing up and down
the ice as much as they used to be.
Playing quick is getting it out as
quick as you can and playing in
their zone. The last 15 games weve
done a pretty good job of that.
The move of Burns to forward
helped add depth to San Joses front
line as he scored nine goals and 20
points in 24 games as a forward. He
helped form an imposing line with
Joe Thornton and Galiardi and also
allowed Joe Pavelski to drop to the
third line, where he excelled with
nine goals and ve assists in his
nal 18 games.
Niemi started every game during
that run to the playoffs, posting
three shutouts, a 1.93 goals against
average and a .931 save percentage
as he showed off the form he had in
helping Chicago win the Stanley
Cup in 2010.
Hes a different player this year
than last year, Galiardi said. The
thing with Nemo is he wants a lot of
shots and he wants those guys get-
ting breakaways. Its such a crazy
mindset. ... Hes the reason were
here in the playoffs and hes been
doing it all year. Its a calming effect
having him back there.
The Sharks are also a very differ-
ent team than the one that made an
early exit a year ago when they lost
the nal four games of a ve-game
rst-round series against St. Louis.
San Jose had been to the confer-
ence nal the previous two years
before falling at against a faster,
more disciplined Blues team. The
Sharks had the second-worst penal-
ty-kill unit during the regular season
a year ago and then allowed six
goals in 18 power-play chances over
ve games against the Blues.
This year, the Sharks had the sixth
best penalty kill unit in the regular
season in a trend they hope carries
over to the playoffs.
Were playing a bit of a different
game than we did back then, a game
that is more suited to the type of
lineup we have, coach Todd
McLellan said.

Ex-Raiders assistant
coach guilty in bottle attack
SAN LUIS OBISPO A former
Oakland Raiders assistant coach is
facing up to four years in state
prison after being convicted of strik-
ing a man with a beer bottle outside
a California bar.
The San Luis Obispo Tribune
(http://bit.ly/ZNHehs) reported
Monday that jurors found Randy
Hanson guilty of felony battery and
misdemeanor assault.
Hanson is best known for alleging
in 2009 that then-Raiders head
coach Tom Cable broke his jaw and
teeth during a ght at a hotel.
Hanson testied he acted in self-
defense after 51-year-old James
Kelsey approached him at the Pismo
Beach bar in August and taunted
him about Cable. Hanson conceded
he remembered little about the night
because hed had 10 glasses of wine.
Kelsey testied the attack left him
with a broken nose and concussion.
NBA committee recommends
rejecting Kings move
In an emotional saga that has
dragged on for nearly three years,
the Sacramento Kings nally appear
to be staying put in Californias cap-
ital city.
The NBAs relocation committee
voted unanimously Monday to rec-
ommend that owners reject the
application for the Kings to relocate
to Seattle, the latest and by far the
strongest in a long line of cities
that almost landed the franchise. The
committee made the decision over a
conference call and forwarded the
recommendation to the NBA Board
of Governors.

conversation. I wish I wasnt the kid
in the classroom raising his hand
and saying, Im different, Collins
writes. If I had my way, someone
else would have already done this.
Nobody has, which is why Im rais-
ing my hand.
Saying he had endured years of
misery and gone to enormous
lengths to live a lie, Collins imme-
diately drew support for his
announcement from the White
House President Barack Obama
called him along with former
President Bill Clinton, the NBA,
current and former teammates, a
sponsor, and athletes in other sports.
Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe
Bryant tweeted that he was proud of
Collins, writing: Dont suffocate
who u r because of the ignorance of
others, followed by the words
courage and support.
Weve got to get rid of the
shame. Thats the main thing. And
Jasons going to help that. Hes
going to help give people courage to
come out, said Billie Jean King, a
member of the International Tennis
Hall of Fame who conrmed she
was gay after being outed in the
early 1980s.
I guarantee you hes going to feel
much lighter, much freer. The truth
does set you free, theres no ques-
tion. It doesnt mean its easy. But it
sets you free, King said in a tele-
phone interview with The
Associated Press.
The Wizards, whose season ended
April 17, issued a statement from
President Ernie Grunfeld: We are
extremely proud of Jason and sup-
port his decision to live his life
proudly and openly. He has been a
leader on and off the court and an
outstanding teammate throughout
his NBA career. Those qualities will
continue to serve him both as a play-
er and as a positive role model for
others of all sexual orientation.
Collins coach with the Celtics,
Doc Rivers, drew a comparison
between Mondays announcement
and Jackie Robinsons role when he
joined the Brooklyn Dodgers in
1947, breaking the color barrier in
Major League Baseball.
I am extremely happy and proud
of Jason Collins. Hes a pros pro.
He is the consummate professional
and he is one of my favorite team
players I have ever coached, Rivers
said. If you have learned anything
from Jackie Robinson, it is that
teammates are always the rst to
accept. It will be society who has to
learn tolerance.
Collins says he quietly made a
statement for gay rights even while
keeping his sexual orientation a
secret. He wore No. 98 with the
Celtics and Wizards 1998 was
year that Matthew Shepard, a gay
college student in Wyoming, was
killed, and the Trevor Project, a sui-
cide prevention organization, was
founded.
According to the General Social
Survey, the public has grown
increasingly accepting of gay rela-
tionships since the late 1980s. That
survey found in 1987 that 76 percent
of Americans thought sexual rela-
tions between adults of the same sex
was morally wrong.
That fell to 43 percent by 2012.

DENVER The Denver
Nuggets left behind a hole in the
wall just inside the visiting locker
room at Oracle Arena, courtesy of
frustrated forward Kenneth Farieds
size 16 sneaker.
Escaping the hole theyre in
against the Golden State Warriors
wont be so easy.
The sixth-seeded Warriors have
won three straight games since los-
ing All-Star David Lee, the leagues
leader in double-doubles, to a sea-
son-ending hip injury in the series
opener.
Theyre one win away from clos-
ing out George Karls third-seeded
band of speedsters who rolled into
the playoffs on a 23-3 run and an
NBA franchise-best 57-win season
that included 23 straight home wins.
Denver, which is facing the
prospect of getting bounced from
the rst round for the ninth time in
10 years, had designs on a deep
playoff run like they had in 2008-09
but have been outsmarted, outhus-
tled, outshot and outrebounded this
entire series.
Only Andre Millers twisting
layup with a second left in Game 1
stands between the Nuggets and a
four-game sweep. Golden State
coach Mark Jackson surprised Karl
with what was essentially a four-
guard starting lineup for Game 2
and the Warriors havent missed Lee
or many shots, for that matter
ever since.
The Warriors were 3-18 when
playing without Lee over the last
three regular seasons but are 3-0
without him in the playoffs as
Jacksons rotations have messed up
Karls matchups and many maneu-
vers.
Were not doing things right and
theyre doing everything right,
Miller said.
Andrew Boguts pre-eminence in
the post after an injury-lled regular
season in which he didnt play in
any of Golden States four games
against Denver has been among the
biggest surprises of the series.
Hes brought a defensive physi-
cality to their front line, Karl said.
The Nuggets have found no
answers for Stephen Curry and the
rest of the uncannily accurate
Warriors, whose barrage of 3-point
baskets, high shooting percentages
and surprising dominance in the
paint and on the glass have sapped
the Nuggets energy along with their
vaunted transition game.
When they come down and just
hit 3s when youve just crossed half-
court, you cant scheme around that.
You cant stop that, Faried said.
We just have to nd a way to not
let them do that.
When someone suggested in the
aftermath of Denvers 115-101 loss
Sunday night that the good news is
the Nuggets were heading back to
the Pepsi Center for Game 5
Tuesday night, the ustered forward
retorted, Theres no good news.
That about sums it up for Denver,
which is on the verge of yet another
early exit from the playoffs.
This is the Nuggets 10th straight
trip to the postseason but theyve
advanced past the rst round just
once during that decade.
Karls counting on the homecourt
helping the Nuggets snap out of
their funk, noting it usually takes
one game to turn around your con-
dence.
Exhibit A in that argument is
Golden States Game 2 win when
they handed the Nuggets their rst
home loss in three months, then
rode that wave of momentum to two
wins in Oakland.

week. The junior southpaw remains
unbeaten in league play at 4-0.
Tommy Cauleld of Burlingame
baseball allowed three runs to
Aragon in the rst inning but did not
allow another as he held the Dons to
just six hits and struck out 10.
Cauleld got a no-decision after
throwing seven innings as Aragon
won the game 5-4 in the bottom of
the 10th inning thanks to
Perkins blast.
Junipero Serra catcher Michael
Tinsley has had himself quite the
stretch of baseball. Hitting primari-
ly out of the lead-off spot and over a
four-game stretch, Tinsley went 7-
for-14 from the plate with a triple,
three doubles and three singles. He
drove in ve runs, stole four bases
and scored an additional ve runs.
Its no surprise Serra won three
out of the four games over that
stretch.
After falling to El Camino at
home last Tuesday, Sequoia High
School desperately needed a strong
showing against the Colts to remain
in the thick of the PAL Oceans divi-
sion race. Junior hurler Kyle
Cambron made sure they got just
that.
Cambron, pitching for the rst
time in a month, was strong in a win
over El Camino.
Chris Ortiz had three hits in that
win while Liam Clifford, Tommy
Lopiparo and Kenny Belanger
added two hits a piece. Third base-
man Zane Gelphman had maybe the
biggest hit of the afternoon when he
plated a pair with a two-strike oppo-
site eld single in the second inning.
And over at Menlo-Atherton, Erik
Amundson not only threw a com-
plete game, three-hitter, he also
drove in a pair of runs in the Bears
10-4 win over Half Moon Bay. All
four of the Cougars runs were
unearned.
Elsewhere in the Honor Roll, it
was another strong statistical week
for the Sacred Heart Prep boys vol-
leyball team. Ian Bennett continued
his offensive tear, collecting 48 kills
and 14 digs over a two-game
stretch.
Matt Hao was an assist machine,
going off for 72. Grant Chou dug
out 47. And Lukas Hruska had a
strong overall week with 12 kills
and an impressive 13 blocks.
Menlo-Atherton boys lacrosse
had a eld day against Los Gatos.
The Bears tallied 20 goals, nine of
which came courtesy of Duncan
McGinnis. He has also two assists.
Drew Uphoff scored a hat trick
and collected another three assists.
Grifn Waymire made 10 saves.
In girls lacrosse, Menlos Ali
Kim had a strong week with eight
goals and ve assists. Also big for
the Knights was Kira Sze (four
goals) and Parvathi Natayan (seven
goals, assist).
And there were 33 goals scored
last week in a game between Menlo-
Atherton and Sacred Heart Prep.
M-As Emily Carlson was the
Bears leading goal scorer with four.
Ali Mayle and Caroline
Cummings were huge for SHP.
They scored seven and six goals
respectively.

the Atlanta Hawks built a 17-point lead at
halftime, then withstood an Indiana comeback
over the nal two quarters to even the series
with a 102-91 victory in Game 4 on Monday
night.
After struggling much of the second half,
Smith made every big play down the stretch.
He swished a rare 3-pointer, came up with an
offensive rebound to set up a 3 by Kyle
Korver, then nished off a fast break with a
right-handed dunk.
Paul George scored 18 of his 21 points in the
second half as the Pacers made a game of it
but couldnt come back from a 57-40 decit
at the break.

NEW YORK Brook Lopez had 28 points
and 10 rebounds, Deron Williams added 23

Peninsula Athletic Leagues Bay Division
title race.
***
Speaking of the Bay Division race, its
been a roller-coaster ride all season long and
its only going to get better as we head into
the nal two weeks of the season.
There was a shakeup at the top of the
standings with Terra Nova leap-frogging
Carlmont for rst place, knocking the Scots
into a two-way tie for second with
Burlingame.
The Tigers have ve of their last six, while
Carlmont has dropped three of four. Menlo-
Atherton has moved into fourth place and
has won four of its last ve to improve to 5-5
on league play.
Aragon, Capuchino, Half Moon Bay and
Hillsdale, all 3-6, still have a chance to make
a run at a title, provided they get some help.
Which could be coming. Terra Nova faces
Burlingame next week and Carlmont in the
nal week of the regular season. Burlingame
has Capuchino to end the season, while
Carlmont gets the league-leading Tigers and
an always dangerous Aragon squad to end
the year.
***
The PALs Ocean Division is a lot more
clear-cut. Mills, at 10-0, need win only two
of their next four games to clinch at least a
share of the division title. The Vikings big
test is this week when they take on second-
place Sequoia. The Cherokees are two games
out and would need a sweep to give them-
selves a shot at a co-championship but, con-
sidering the Vikings close the season at win-
less Westmoor, it appears the Ocean title is
Mills to lose.
***
In West Catholic Athletic League play, it
appears Serra will have to be content with a
second-place nish after dropping a 13-3
decision to league-leading St. Francis,
assuming they can close out Riordan and
Sacred Heart Cathedral to end the regular
season.
The Padres needed to beat the Lancers to
pull into a rst-place tie with them as Serra
dropped games to both St. Francis and Mitty
last week. St. Francis now owns a two-game
lead over the Padres with two games left to
play.
The good news for Padres Nation is Serra
gets two more potential cracks at the
Lancers, whose only loss on the season is to
Serra. As to top two seeds in the WCAL
tournament, they are on a collision course for
the WCAL tournament title and most likely a
fourth matchup in CCS.
***
Now that the rest of the nation is getting its
rst real glimpse of Golden State Warriors
guard Steph Curry, is there any way he is not
on the Western Conference all-star team next
year? Personally, he reminds me of a more
athletic Reggie Miller both have silky-
smooth, lightning-quick shots, but Curry may
be a little more adept at putting the ball on
the oor and getting to the rim.
Either way, as long as Currys ankles
remain relatively healthy, he is one of the
NBAs brightest young stars. Im glad the
everyone else is nally getting up to speed.

MADRID Real Madrid needs to over-
turn a three-goal decit to reach its 13th
European Cup nal. Its a decit Los Blancos

This is our last chance to put things right,
Madrid midelder Sami Khedira said ahead
of Tuesday nights Champions League semi-

leg, we didnt convince as a team and we pro-
duced a weak performance. Now we have to
achieve the impossible.
Not quite.
Real Madrid lost the rst leg of the total-
goals series 4-1 last Wednesday in Germany.
Madrid recovered from the same decit
against Englands Derby with a 5-1 overtime
win to advance to the 1975-76 Champions
Cup quarternals. In the third round of the
1984-85 UEFA Cup, Madrid beat Anderlecht
6-1 in the second leg after opening with a 3-0
loss on the road. And in the same round of the
following years UEFA Cup, Madrid routed
Borussia Moenchengladbach 4-0 in the sec-
ond leg after losing 5-1 in Germany.
It was clear in the beginning, when the
draw was made, that wed have to go there
and ght to get through, Dortmund coach
Juergen Klopp said. Weve improved our
starting position. Of course, Madrid believe
they can get through. It wont be a stroll in the

Hospitals see surge of superbug-fighting products
By Mike Stobbe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK They sweep. They swab. They sterilize.
And still the germs persist.
In U.S. hospitals, an estimated 1 in 20 patients pick up infec-
tions they didnt have when they arrived, some caused by dan-
gerous superbugs that are hard to treat.
The rise of these superbugs, along with increased pressure
from the government and insurers, is driving hospitals to try all
sorts of new approaches to stop their spread:
Machines that resemble Star Wars robots and emit ultravi-
olet light or hydrogen peroxide vapors. Germ-resistant copper
bed rails, call buttons and IV poles. Antimicrobial linens, cur-
tains and wall paint.
While these products can help get a room clean, their true
impact is still debatable. There is no widely-accepted evidence
that these inventions have prevented infections or deaths.
Meanwhile, insurers are pushing hospitals to do a better job
and the governments Medicare program has moved to stop
paying bills for certain infections caught in the hospital.
Were seeing a culture change in hospitals, said Jennie
Mayeld, who tracks infections at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in
St. Louis.
Those hospital infections are tied to an estimated 100,000
deaths each year and add as much as $30 billion a year in med-
ical costs, according to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. The agency last month sounded an alarm about a
nightmare bacteria resistant to one class of antibiotics. That
kind is still rare but it showed up last year in at least 200 hos-
pitals.
Hospitals started paying attention to infection control in the
late 1880s, when mounting evidence showed unsanitary con-
ditions were hurting patients. Hospital hygiene has been a con-
cern in cycles ever since, with the latest spike triggered by the
emergence a decade ago of a nasty strain of intestinal bug
called Clostridium difcile, or C-diff.
The diarrhea-causing C-diff is now linked to 14,000 U.S.
deaths annually. Thats been the catalyst for the growing focus
on infection control, said Mayeld, who is also president-elect
of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and
Epidemiology.
C-diff is easier to treat than some other hospital superbugs,
like methicillin-resistant staph, or MRSA, but its particularly
difcult to clean away. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers dont
work and C-diff can persist on hospital room surfaces for days.
The CDC recommends hospital staff clean their hands rigor-
ously with soap and water or better yet, wear gloves. And
rooms should be cleaned intensively with bleach, the CDC
says.
Michael Claes developed a bad case of C-diff while he was
a kidney patient last fall at New York Citys Lenox Hill
Hospital. He and his doctor believe he caught it at the hospi-

WASHINGTON Trail mix. Potato chips.
And now gum.
With a growing number of foods boasting
added caffeine for an energy boost, the Food
and Drug Administration says its time to
investigate their safety.
The FDAs new look at added caffeine and
its effects on children and adolescents is in
response to a caffeinated gum introduced this
week by Wrigley. Called Alert Energy Gum, it
promises The right energy, right now. The
agency is already investigating the safety of
energy drinks and energy shots, prompted by
consumer reports of illness and death.
Michael Taylor, FDAs deputy commission-
er of foods, said in a statement Monday that
the only time FDA explicitly approved the
added use of caffeine in a food or drink was in
the 1950s for colas. The current proliferation
of caffeine added to foods is beyond anything
FDA envisioned, Taylor said.
The environment has changed, he said.
Taylor said the agency will look at the
potential impact these new and easy sources
of caffeine will have on childrens health and
will take action if necessary.
Wrigley and other companies adding caf-
feine to their products have labeled them as
for adult use only. A spokeswoman for
Wrigley, Denise M. Young, said the gum is for
adults who are looking for foods with caf-
feine for energy and each piece contains
about 40 mg, or the equivalent amount found
in half a cup of coffee. She said the company
will work with FDA.
Millions of Americans consume caffeine
responsibly and in moderation as part of their
daily routines, Young said.
Food manufacturers have added caffeine to
candy, nuts and other snack foods in recent
years. Jelly Belly Sport Beans, for example,
have 50mg of caffeine in each 100-calorie
pack, while Arma Energy Snx markets trail
mix, chips and other products.
Critics say its not enough for the companies
to say they are marketing the products to
adults when the caffeine is added to items like
candy that are attractive to children.
Could caffeinated macaroni and cheese or
breakfast cereal be next? said Michael
Jacobson, director of the Center for Science in
the Public Interest, which wrote the FDA a let-
ter concerned about the number of foods with
added caffeine last year. One serving of any
of these foods isnt likely to harm anyone.
The concern is that it will be increasingly easy
to consume caffeine throughout the day,
sometimes unwittingly, as companies add caf-
feine to candies, nuts, snacks and other foods.

WASHINGTON The latest bad news in
the hunt for an AIDS vaccine: The government
halted a large U.S. study on Thursday, saying
the experimental shots arent preventing HIV
infection.
Nor did the shots reduce the amount of the
AIDS virus in the blood when people whod
been vaccinated later became infected, the
National Institutes of Health said.
Its disappointing, said Dr. Anthony Fauci,
head of NIHs National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases. But, there was important
information gained from this study that will
help determine what to try next.
The study had enrolled 2,504 volunteers,
mostly gay men, in 19 cities since 2009. Half
received dummy shots, and half received a two-
part experimental vaccine developed by the
NIH. All were provided free condoms and given
extensive counseling about the risks for HIV.
Its a strategy known as prime-boost. A
DNA-based vaccine made with genetically
engineered HIV material is given to prime the
immune system to attack the AIDS virus. Then
a different vaccine, encasing the same material
inside a shell made of a disabled cold virus, acts
as a booster shot to strengthen that response.
Neither vaccine could cause HIV.
The idea: Train immune cells known as T
cells to spot and attack the very earliest HIV-
infected cells in someones body. The hope was
that the vaccine could either prevent HIV infec-
tion, or help those infected anyway to ght it.
A safety review this week found that slightly
more study participants who had received the
vaccine later became infected with HIV. Its not
clear why. But the difference wasnt statistically
signicant, meaning it may be due to chance.
Overall, there were 41 HIV infections in the
vaccinated group and 30 among placebo recipi-
ents. When researchers examined only partici-
pants diagnosed after being in the study for at
least 28 weeks long enough for the shots to
have done their job there were 27 HIV infec-
tions among the vaccinated and 21 among the
placebo recipients.
The NIH said Thursday that it is stopping vac-
cinations in the study, known as HVTN 505, but
that researchers will continue to study the vol-
unteers health.
Josh Robbins, 30, of Nashville, Tenn., is
among the participants who became infected.
He said hes glad he was in the study, because
its close monitoring meant he was diagnosed
and treated much sooner than most people
and hes feeling great and because the nd-
ings help science.
Weve got to keep moving forward,
Robbins said. The study certainly can lead us
down a new direction to hopefully nd some-
thing that might work.
Multiple attempts at creating an AIDS vac-
cine have failed over the years. A 2009 study in
Thailand is the only one ever to show a modest
success, using a somewhat different prime-
boost approach. Newer research suggests anoth-
er approach to try creating powerful antibod-
ies that could work a step earlier than the T-cell
attack, before HIV gets inside the rst cell.

work; study put on hold

tal. Claes praised his overall care, but felt the
hospitals room cleaning and infection con-
trol was less than perfect.
I would use the word perfunctory, he
said.
Lenox Hill spokeswoman Ann Silverman
disputed that characterization, noting hospi-
tal workers are making efforts that patients
often cant see, like using hand cleansers dis-
pensers in hallways. She ticked off a list of
measure used to prevent the spread of germs,
ranging from educating patients family
members to isolation and other protective
steps with each C-diff patient.
The hospitals C-diff infection rate is lower
than the state average, she said.
Westchester Medical Center, a 643-bed
hospital in the suburbs of New York City has
also been hit by cases of C-diff and the other
superbugs.
Complicating matters is the fact that larger
proportions of hospital patients today are
sicker and more susceptible to the ravages of
infections, said Dr. Marisa Montecalvo, a
contagious diseases specialist at Westchester.
Theres a growing recognition that its not
only surgical knives and operating rooms
that need a thorough cleaning but also spots
like bed rails and even television remote con-
trols, she said. Now theres more attention to
making sure that all the nooks and crannies
are clean, and that its done in perfect a man-
ner as can be done, Montecalvo said.
Enter companies like Xenex Healthcare
Services, a Texas company that makes a
portable, $125,000 machine thats rolled into
rooms to zap C-diff and other bacteria and
viruses dead with ultraviolet light. Xenex
has sold or leased devices to more than 100
U.S. hospitals, including Westchester
Medical Center.
The market niche is expected to grow from
$30 million to $80 million in the next three
years, according to Frost & Sullivan, a mar-
ket research firm.
Mark Stibich, Xenexs chief scientific offi-
cer, said client hospitals sometimes call them
robots and report improved satisfaction
scores from patients who seem impressed
that the medical center is trotting out that
kind of technology.
At Westchester, they still clean rooms, but
the staff appreciates the high-tech backup,
said housekeeping manager Carolyn Bevans.
We all like it, she said of the Xenex.
At Cooley Dickinson Hospital, a 140-bed
facility in Northampton, Mass., the staff calls
their machines Thing One, Thing Two, Thing
Three and Thing Four, borrowing from the
childrens book The Cat in the Hat.
But while the things in the Dr. Seuss tale
were house-wrecking imps, Cooley
Dickinson officials said the ultraviolet has
done a terrific job at cleaning their hospital
of the difficult C-diff.
We did all the recommended things. We
used bleach. We monitored the quality of
cleaning, but C-diff rates wouldnt budge,
said nurse Linda Riley, whos in charge of
infection prevention at Cooley Dickinson.
A small observational study at the hospi-
tal showed C-diff infection rates fell by half
and C-diff deaths fell from 14 to 2 during
the last two years, compared to the two
years before the machines.
Some experts say theres not enough evi-
dence to show the machines are worth it. No
national study has shown that these prod-
ucts have led to reduced deaths or infection
rates, noted Dr. L. Clifford McDonald of the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
His point: It only takes a minute for a
nurse or visitor with dirty hands to walk
into a room, touch a vulnerable patient with
germy hands, and undo the benefits of a
recent space-age cleaning.
Environments get dirty again,
McDonald said, and thorough cleaning with
conventional disinfectants ought to do the
job.
Beyond products to disinfect a room,
there are tools to make sure doctors, nurses
and other hospital staff are properly clean-
ing their hands when they come into a
patients room. Among them are scanners
that monitor how many times a health care
worker uses a sink or hand sanitizer dis-
penser.
Still, technology only takes us so far,
said Christian Lillis, who runs a small foun-
dation named after his mother who died
from a C-diff infection.
Lillis said the hospitals he is most
impressed with include Swedish Covenant
Hospital in Chicago, where thorough clean-
ings are confirmed with spot checks.
Fluorescent powder is dabbed around a
room before its cleaned and a special light
shows if the powder was removed. That
strategy was followed by a 28 percent
decline in C-diff, he said.
He also cites Advocate Christ Medical
Center in Oak Lawn, Ill., where the focus is
on elbow grease and bleach wipes. Whats
different, he said, is the merger of the
housekeeping and infection prevention
staff. That emphasizes that cleaning is less
about being a maids service than about sav-
ing patients from superbugs.
If your hospitals not clean, youre creat-
ing more problems than youre solving,
Lillis said.

WASHINGTON Were in
denial: Americans underestimate
their chances of needing long-term
care as they get older and are tak-
ing few steps to get ready.
A new poll examined how people
40 and over are preparing for this dif-
cult and often pricey reality of aging
and found two-thirds say theyve
done little to no planning.
In fact, 3 in 10 would rather not
think about getting older at all. Only
a quarter predict its very likely that
theyll personally need help getting
around or caring for themselves dur-
ing their senior years, according to
the poll by the AP-NORC Center for
Public Affairs Research.
Thats a surprise considering the
poll found more than half of the 40-
plus crowd already have been care-
givers for an impaired relative or
friend seeing from the other side
the kind of assistance they, too, are
likely to need later on.
I didnt think I was old. I still
dont think Im old, explained
retired schoolteacher Malinda
Bowman, 60, of Laura, Ohio.
Bowman has been a caregiver
twice, rst for her grandmother. Then
after her father died in 2006,
Bowman moved in with her mother,
caring for her until her death in
January. Yet Bowman has made few
plans for herself.
I guess I was focused on caring
for my grandmother and mom and
dad, so I didnt really think about
myself, she said. Everything we
had was devoted to taking care of
them.
The poll found most people expect
family to step up if they need long-
term care even though 6 in 10
havent talked with loved ones about
the possibility and how theyd like it
to work.
Bowman said shes healthy now but
expects to need help someday from
her two grown sons. Last month,
prompted by a brothers fall and
blood clot, she began the conversation
by telling her youngest son about her
living will and life insurance policy.
I need to plan eventually, she
acknowledged.
Those family conversations are cru-
cial: Even if they want to help, do
your relatives have the time, money
and knowhow? What starts as driving
Dad to the doctor or picking up his
groceries gradually can turn into feed-
ing and bathing him, maybe even
doing tasks once left to nurses such as
giving injections or cleaning open
wounds. If loved ones cant do all
that, can they afford to hire help?
What if you no longer can live alone?
The expectation that your family
is going to be there when you need
them often doesnt mean they under-
stand the full extent of what the job of
caregiving will be, Susan Reinhard, a
nurse who directs AARPs Public
Policy Institute, said. Your survey is
pointing out a problem for not just
people approaching the need for
long-term care, but for family mem-
bers who will be expected to take on
the huge responsibility of providing
care.
Most people who have been care-
givers called the work both worth-
while and stressful. And on the other
end, those who have received care are
less apt to say they can rely on their
families in times of need, the poll
found.
With a rapidly aging population,
more families will be facing those
responsibilities. Government gures
show nearly 7 in 10 Americans will
need long-term care at some point
after they reach age 65, whether its
from a relative, a home health aide,
assisted living or a nursing home. On
average, theyll need that care for
three years.
Despite the it wont happen to
me reaction, the AP-NORC Center
poll found half of those surveyed
think just about everyone will need
some assistance at some point. There
are widespread misperceptions about
how much care costs and who will
pay for it. Nearly 60 percent of those
surveyed underestimated the cost of a
nursing home, which averages more
than $6,700 a month.
Medicare doesnt pay for the most
common types of long-term care. Yet
37 percent of those surveyed mistak-
enly think it will pay for a nursing
home and even more expect it to
cover a home health aide when thats
only approved under certain condi-
tions.
The harsh reality: Medicaid, the
federal-state program for the poor, is
the main payer of long-term care in
the U.S., and to qualify seniors must
have spent most of their savings and
assets. But fewer than half of those
polled think theyll ever need
Medicaid even though only a third
are setting aside money for later care,
and just 27 percent are condent

2014-15 budget, Ackemann said.
Two years ago, the current 86-train-a-day
schedule was almost reduced to a 68-train-a-
day schedule and some stations were pro-
posed to be closed before the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission approved some
fund swaps to keep the schedule intact.
Since early 2011, ridership has steadily
climbed every month, however, as com-
muters have continued to support the rail
agency at the farebox. In 2012, it set several
ridership records, surpassing 50,000 average
weekday riders a day in at least three differ-
ent months.
Despite the good news, however, the
agency has still had to rely on one-time funds
in some recent years to meet its more than
$100 million budget.
This week, the board will get a glimpse at
next years operating and capital budgets,
which totaled more than $150 million last
year about $110 million for operating and
about $40 million for capital.
The board will also get an update on annu-
al passenger counts, which the agency con-
ducts every year in January and February.
The count will show the JPB where rider-
ship has grown the most and will include
onboard bicycle counts as well as bikes
denied boarding during the counting period,
according to a staff report.
Analysis of the ridership numbers and pas-
senger use of stations and trains will help
guide decisions for the FY 2014-15 budget,
which the JPB will adopt in June.
Last years count showed that 41.5 percent
of Caltrains riders boarded in Santa Clara
County compared to 32.3 percent in San
Mateo County and 26.2 percent in San
Francisco County.
Its busiest station, however, is at the end of
the line in San Francisco at Fourth and King
streets where 9,670 commuters hopped on
the train every day in 2012.
The agencys second busiest station is Palo
Alto in Santa Clara County with about 4,660
average riders every weekday and the
Millbrae station leads San Mateo County for
boardings with about 2,880 a day, according
to last years count.
The JPB will also hear ridership numbers
for March, the 32nd straight month it has
trended upward.
For March 2013, average weekday rider-
ship was up 13.5 percent compared to last
year when it averaged about 42,907 riders a
day. This year, however, the number climbed
to more than 48,710 riders a day for the same
month.
The system transported about 1.31 million
passengers during the entire month of
March, an 11.4 percent increase over last
year, according to a staff report.
More riders brings the transit agency more
farebox revenue as it collected about $5.6
million in March compared to the $4.9 mil-
lion it earned during the same month last
year, a 15.3 percent increase.
For year-to-date numbers, total ridership is
up 11.3 percent; average weekday ridership
is up 11.9 percent and total farebox revenue
is up 16.6 percent this year compared to last
year.
Average Caltrain shuttle ridership is also
up 15.2 percent over last year, according to
the staff report.
The agencys operating budget has
increased by 76 percent since FY 2004 from
about $63.8 million to about $111 million for
FY 2012-13.
But rider contributions have increased by
216 percent over the same period from $19
million in FY 2004 to a projected $60 mil-
lion for FY 2013, or about 54 percent of the
agencys operating budget.
The agencys other sources of income
include taxes and contributions from its three
partners, SamTrans, the San Francisco
Municipal Transportation Agency and the
Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority.

trial on that charge plus a count of assault with
force on Monday but instead the prosecution
asked for more time to bring in an expert wit-
ness in domestic violence issues because the
victims attorney said he now refuses to testi-
fy, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen
Guidotti.
The trial, estimated to last ve days, will
now begin Aug. 12 just shy of a year after
the evening prosecutors say Harris left his for-
mer partner with broken orbital bones and a
metal plate in his head. Defense attorney Alin
Cintean maintains that the other man, Dimitri
Geier, threw the rst punch and his client was
charged because of who got injured in the
altercation.
Geier was also suing Harris civilly for
assault, battery, false imprisonment, negli-
gence and both intentional and negligent
iniction of emotional distress. In February,
Geier had the suit dismissed.
Attorney Craig Charles said he was sur-
prised as anybody else about his clients deci-
sion but that it was ultimately his to make.
Geier also doesnt want to participate in the
criminal proceedings, Charles said, adding
that does not mean he is backpedaling on the
allegations.
The physical facts are the facts. Those
remain unchanged as is the damage that was
the result of the facts, Charles said.
Even if Geier refuses to testify, as legally
allowed under a relatively recent change in the
law, Guidotti said the case can go forward.
A victims refusal to testify always has an
impact on a case. However, he did testify at
the preliminary hearing so we have the option
of seeking to proceed on his former testimony,
if the court permits it, Guidotti said.
But Cintean, who said he vigorously
opposed the trial delay, thinks prosecutors
will have very, very serious difculty pre-
senting the case without his participation.
The case was very weak to start off and
just keeps getting weaker, he said.
The Aug. 21 encounter between Harris and
Geier, who reportedly were broken up at the
time, began at Su Hong restaurant in Menlo
Park when Harris allegedly grew upset that
Geier poured soy sauce on a place of rice. The
men argued for seven minutes and Harris said
he would no longer take Geier to the airport as
planned, according to the civil suit.
As the men left to remove Geiers belong-
ings from Harris car so that he could instead
take a cab, Harris tried pulling the other mans
pants down and accused him of stealing his
underwear, according to the suit.
Geier unsuccessfully tried pushing Harris
away but the bigger man shook him violently
and punched him in the arms, the suit stated.
Geier allegedly hit Harris three times in the
face but Harris seemed only to grow more
agitated and punched him in the face several
times until he fell, the suit stated.
Harris allegedly threw Geiers property
from the car and left while Geier hailed a cab
and was taken to an emergency room in San
Jose. Harris was arrested at his home.
A led legal response to Geiers lawsuit
prior to its dismissal claimed Harris was in
fear of his life and his physical well-being and
was merely acting out of self-defense.
If convicted, Harris faces up to seven years
in prison, Guidotti said.
Harris played offensive tackle for both the
San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders
before retiring in 2008. The criminal case
sparked the rst public acknowledgment of
his sexuality.
He is free from custody on $75,000 bail.

instead going under the radar but are
acting out in hopes of solving a prob-
lem.
Sharing information
Often, after the fact, it becomes clear
that children in the community are
aware of possible problems but did not
come forward to share that informa-
tion with adults. Changing the culture
to support students coming forward to
share information is imperative to pre-
venting such incidents, she said.
Students need a person somewhat sep-
arate from school bureaucracy who
will discreetly research concerns. This
could be in the form of a school
resource officer.
Locally, budget cuts means fewer
schools have access to such a school
resource officer. If they do, the officer
may not be on campus as often as he or
she may have been in previous years.
Creating a supportive community with
adults who are seen as allies is an
important topic reiterated by many
throughout the event from school
and law enforcement officials to men-
tal health specialists.
Not sharing information is an area
that can be addressed. This can be in
the form of not passing along informa-
tion when a student changes schools,
like going from eighth grade to a high
school. One reason not to share infor-
mation is to allow students a clean
slate in their new school, however it
also means important information isnt
being shared. Newman discussed this
phenomenon as happening in the com-
munity when a person doesnt share
information with another parent and in
schools who want children to have the
benefit of a clean slate.
Scott Laurence, superintendent of
the San Mateo Union High School
District, said that his district has start-
ed working more with counselors from
feeder districts to be sure academic
and social support is available to stu-
dents.
Peer-driven support
The support system, however, can-
not be driven only by adults.
Dr. Shashank Joshi, child and adult
psychiatry at Stanford University,
explained that teens tend to follow the
lead of their peers. Teens are more
likely to act as they think their friends
are. While risk is important to teen
growth, there also needs to be a
healthy support system for that period.
Depression, he said, can lead to
things like suicide and violence.
Combating that comes from creating a
support system. One program Joshi
was encouraged by is Source of
Strength a bullying prevention pro-
gram that identifies and trains peer
leaders in a school as well as adults.
The changes on those campuses after
five months showed an empowered
youth who believed adults were there
to help.
Agency collaboration
In San Mateo County, working
together to prepare has been a focus
but one that can still be improved
upon. The need for agencies to work
together was highlighted in 2009 when
Alexander Robert Youshock, who was
then 17, went onto the Hillsdale High
School campus in San Mateo carrying
a chain saw in a soft guitar case, a tac-
tical vest outfitted with 10 homemade
pipe bombs, a 10-inch sword, a face
shield to protect him from blood splat-
ter and four door stops to keep teach-
ers from locking classes inside. He had
plans to kill three teachers but was
unable to start the chain saw. Two
bombs that exploded injured no one
then Youshock was tackled by a
teacher and held down until police
arrived.
Columbine was a game changer in
terms of law enforcement and schools
working together in a crisis. On April
20, 1999, two students at Columbine
High School in Littleton, Colo. went
on a rampage at school, killed 13 peo-
ple and then themselves.
San Mateo Police Chief Susan
Manheimer said Columbine made it
clear that police were not simply
responding to an event. Instead, there
needed to be a coordinated countywide
effort. A challenge has been keeping
consistent protocol between schools
and emergency responders. For exam-
ple, the San Mateo Union High School
District has multiple locations in dif-
ferent cities, each of which has differ-
ent ways of working with local law
enforcement. Much of the school
efforts have been focused on preven-
tion through planning, practicing
drills, training and putting infrastruc-
ture in place to work should things go
wrong.
Were not trained in crisis manage-
ment, said Laurence.
As a result, working with others
becomes more important. Highlighting
a way to achieve better partnerships,
the summit included a talk by Jennee
Littrell, director of guidance/wellness
at Grossmont Union High School
District in San Diego. In 2001, the
school district experienced two shoot-
ings and a five-person suicide cluster.
Sharing information countywide with
all organizations working with chil-
dren has created a solution in this
Southern California area. In 2009, an
information-sharing agreement was
introduced to the various agencies. It
started small but has been slowly
rolled out to other districts.
By working together, Littrell said
the district has been able to help stu-
dents sooner and better understand
similarities amongst students falling
into certain negative behaviors.

the load outside and spread it out broad-
ly into the parking lot where they
attempted to put the re out themselves.
The workers hosed down about 3 tons
of material before reghters arrived,
Devincenzi said.
It took re crews from Redwood City,
San Carlos and Belmont about 45 min-
utes to contain the blaze. The cause of
the re is under investigation but a work-
er on scene said it may have been a bat-
tery that combusted, igniting a big load
of recycled paper.
The re cleared the recycling center
and the adjacent SBWMA and Recology
facilities on Shoreway Road due to
smoke. Workers tried to nd some shade
in the area while the re was being con-
tained. Temperatures were up to 84
degrees in San Carlos yesterday and a
stiff wind sent smoke in all directions.
No one was injured but about three
workers were evaluated at the scene by
paramedics.
Chemicals, other hazardous waste and
hot ashes are not accepted into the recy-
cling program, Devincenzi said.

Syrian premier escapes bomb attack
By Albert Aji
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAMASCUS, Syria Syrias prime minis-
ter escaped a brazen assassination attempt
Monday when a bomb exploded near his con-
voy in Damascus, state media reported, in the
latest attack to target a top ofcial in President
Bashar Assads regime.
Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi was not hurt
in the explosion in the capitals western neigh-
borhood of Mazzeh, state TV said. The TV
showed footage of heavily damaged cars and
debris in the area as reghters fought to
extinguish a large blaze set off by the blast.
The state news agency said several people
were killed in the blast, while the Britain-
based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights
activist group said the explosion killed at least
ve, including two of al-Halqis bodyguards
and one of the drivers in his convoy.
As evidence that the prime minister was
unhurt, the state-run Al-Ikhbariya station said
al-Halqi went into a regular weekly meeting
with an economic committee straight after the
bombing. The station broadcast video of the
prime minister sitting around a table in a room
with several other offi-
cials.
But in comments after
the meeting, al-Halqi
made no reference to the
blast, nor was he asked
about it by reporters, leav-
ing doubt as to whether
the footage was filmed
before or after the bomb-
ing.
The state news agency,
meanwhile, quoted al-Halqi as saying that the
assassination attempt exposes how armed
groups are bankrupt after the latest advances
made by Syrian troops around the country.
Syrias conict started with largely peaceful
anti-government protests in March 2011 but
eventually turned into a civil war that has so
far killed more than 70,000 people, according
to the United Nations.
State TV quoted Syrias Information
Minister Omran al-Zoubi as saying that target-
ing al-Halqi, who is in charge of carrying out
the political program to end Syrias crisis,
shows that some in the opposition reject a
political solution.
U.N. urges Syria to let in chemical weapons experts
By Edith M. Lederer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
UNITED NATIONS Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon appealed to Syria again
Monday to allow experts into the country
without delay or conditions to investigate alle-
gations of chemical weapons use, saying this
is a crucial moment to get the team on the
ground.
The U.N. chief told reporters he takes seri-
ously a recent U.S. intelligence report which
indicated Syria has twice used chemical
weapons and said a credible and comprehen-
sive inquiry requires access to all sites where
allegations have been made.
Syria wants any investigation limited to an
incident near Aleppo in March, but Ban wants
a broader investigation, including a December
incident in Homs.
Ban made his appeal for access standing
beside Swedish chemical weapons expert Ake
Sellstrom, a former U.N. chemical weapons
inspector in Iraq who heads the team, before
they met privately. He praised Sellstrom and
his team for their integrity and independence
and professionalism.
U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said later
that the secretary-general and Sellstrom dis-
cussed the steps that have been taken so far in
gathering information from a range of
sources. He said they agreed that there is no
substitute for an on-site investigation to deter-
mine if chemical weapons have been used.
Ban stressed earlier to reporters that on-
site activities are essential if the United
Nations is to be able to establish the facts and
clear up all the doubts surrounding this issue.
He noted that April 29 is the Day of
Remembrance for All Victims of Chemical
Warfare.
As we address these allegations, Ban said,
I encourage all involved to uphold their
responsibilities in enabling us to properly
police these heinous weapons of massive
destruction.
In a message marking the day, the secre-
tary-general said the allegations of the use of
these indiscriminate and morally repugnant
weapons in Syria serve as a reminder of the
continuing vital importance of the Chemical
Weapons Convention.
The convention prohibits the development,
production, acquisition, stockpiling, reten-
tion, transfer or use of chemical weapons by
the 188 states that have ratied it.

Iraq instability tested further with bombing wave
By Adam Schreck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD A wave of car bomb
blasts tore through Shiite areas south of
Baghdad on Monday, killing at least 36
and deepening fears that Iraq is rapidly
spiraling back out of control.
The attacks capped a week of turmoil
that is posing the greatest test of Iraqs
stability since U.S. troops left the country
in late 2011. At least 218 people have
been killed in attacks and battles between
gunmen and security forces that began
with clashes at a Sunni protest camp in
northern Iraq last Tuesday.
The unrest follows four months of
widespread protests among Iraqs Sunni
minority, who feel they are discriminated
against and are being marginalized by
Prime Minister Nouri al-Malikis Shiite-
led government.
Iraqi ofcials fear that Sunni feelings of
disenfranchisement could be exploited by
extremist groups such as al-Qaida and
militant organizations such as the
Naqshabandi Army, which is linked to
Saddam Husseins former regime.
In a possible sign of mounting worries
over the deteriorating security situation,
Iraqi authorities announced they plan to
close the countrys only border crossing
with Jordan, beginning on Tuesday. The
Interior Ministry said the move is related
Iraqs domestic affairs.
The route to the border runs through
the cities of Ramadi and Fallujah, west of
Baghdad, which have been hotbeds of
Sunni anger at the government. Many
Sunnis in western Iraq have economic,
tribal and cultural ties with Jordanians,
most of whom are also Sunni.
Sheik Fakhir al-Kubaisi, a protest
organizer in Anbar province, blasted the
latest closure plans as another escalation
by the Iraqi government to punish the
revolting Iraqi people. He predicted the
closure would drive up the prices of food
and medicine, and might be tied to a com-
ing security crackdown on protest sites in
the area.
The Interior Ministry spokesman, Lt.
Col. Saad Maan Ibrahim, insisted the bor-
der closure was solely a technical matter
and is unrelated to ongoing tensions in
the country. He did not elaborate, and
said it should reopen within 48 hours.
Iraq temporarily shut the same border
crossing in January, weeks after anti-gov-
ernment protests erupted along the desert
highway heading to the checkpoint. That
angered many Sunnis in western Iraq,
who saw it as collective punishment for
their rallies.
The International Crisis Group recently
warned that the standoff between Sunni
protesters and the central government has
begun a dangerous slide toward con-
frontation.

Powerful blast injures at least 35 in Prague
PRAGUE A powerful blast believed to be a gas explosion
ripped open an ofce building in the center of Prague on
Monday, injuring at least 35 people and sending shockwaves
through the Old Town tourist district.
The blast shattered windows in the scenic area of charming
streets and postcard-pretty buildings, sending glass ying.
Authorities closed a wide area around the site and some tourists
were stranded on street corners with baggage-loaded trolleys,
unable to get into their hotels.
Authorities said two or three people were still believed to be
missing, but sniffer dogs searching the rubble had not indicated
that anyone was buried and the prime minister said it appeared
no one had died.
An AP cameraman lming at the time of the blast said the
physical impact could be felt on the famed 15th-century Charles
Bridge over the Vltava River, which was packed with tourists.
The explosion occurred on Divadelni Street at about 10 a.m.,
in one of a row of several-story tall brick buildings dating back
about a century. The street was covered with rubble and police
evacuated people from nearby buildings.
Its really immense and huge, almost like after an air assault
or a bomb explosion, Prime Minister Petr Necas said after vis-
iting the scene. So, if we really prove what we think right now,
which is that nobody died, it was very lucky.
Prague mayor Bohuslav Svoboda ruled out a terrorist attack,
saying the blast was a gas explosion.
Prague is a major tourist capital, visited every year by legions
of students, backpackers and others from around the world. In
2012, a total of 5.4 million people visited, with a large majority
from outside the country many from Germany, Russia and
the United States.
Israel leader: Iran has not yet crossed red line
JERUSALEM Israels prime minister says Iran is edging
closer to nuclear-weapons capability but has not yet reached the
red line he laid out in a speech to the
United Nations last fall.
Benjamin Netanyahu told his Likud Party
on Monday that Iran is systematically
getting closer to developing a weapon. He
says Israel cannot let Iran cross this point.
Israel says a nuclear-armed Iran would
pose a threat to the existence of the Jewish
state, citing Irans repeated calls for the
destruction of Israel. Netanyahu has repeat-
edly hinted that Israel would be prepared to
attack Iran unilaterally if international pres-
sure fails to curb the Iranian nuclear pro-
gram.
In his U.N. speech last September, Netanyahu said the inter-
national community has until the summer of 2013 to stop Iran
from getting a bomb.
Canada dismemberment trial set for fall 2014
MONTREAL The trial of a former porn actor accused of
dismembering his Chinese lover and mailing the body parts to
Canadian political parties will begin in
September 2014.
Luka Magnotta has pleaded not guilty in
the slaying of Jun Lin last May. He is
accused of killing the university student and
posting a video online that shows him stab-
bing and having sex with the dismembered
corpse.
A Quebec judge consulted with the pros-
ecution and defense and on Monday
announced Sept. 15. 2014 as the start of the
trial.
The case emerged when a package containing a severed foot
was found at the headquarters of Canadas Conservative Party
last May. That same day, a hand was discovered at a postal facil-
ity, in a package addressed to the Liberal Party of Canada.
