IN HONDURAS, POLICE ACCUSED OF
DEATH SQUAD KILLINGS
Family Owned & Operated

The family of two cousins killed
on their way to a baptism celebra-
tion when a seizure-prone driver
slammed into their vehicle is suing
the man for wrongful death because
his medical condition and history of
collisions precluded him from legal-
ly driving.
Rodney Edward Corsiglia, who is
also charged criminally with two
counts of sec-
ond-degree mur-
der in the July
28, 2012 crash
that killed
Anulfo Picazo
and Usbaldo
Picazo Gomez,
acted with a
conscious disre-
gard for others
because he con-
tinued driving despite multiple prior
accidents linked to his seizures,
according to the suit.
The suit led March 14 in San
Mateo County Superior Court is on
behalf of the two mens ve minor
children and their wives.
The accident happened just after
noon when Corsiglia crashed into
several eastbound cars at an El
Camino Real stoplight while driv-
ing east on Sneath Lane in San
Bruno. Picazo, 39, of San Bruno,
and Gomez, 37, of South San
Francisco, were on their way to pick
up beverages for a baptism celebra-
tion. Two others, an adult and a 9-
year-old boy, were also hospitalized
with serious injuries.
Prosecutors charged Corsiglia
with several crimes including felony
drunk driving, gross vehicular
manslaughter with intoxication and
misdemeanor driving on a suspend-
ed license. They also charged mur-
der because he allegedly insisted on
driving without a license despite
being forbidden by his medical con-
dition of petite mal seizures.
Corsiglia has pleaded not guilty and
is scheduled for a jury trial Aug. 29.
Attorney Chantel Fitting did not
return a call for comment but the
civil suit also alleges that Corsiglia
knew he was prone to seizures and
... knew he was a danger to others
when driving, but willfully and
deliberately failed to avoid the
Family sues over fatal crash

The San Carlos City Council and
Planning Commission are jointly
meeting tonight to tackle what
improvement measures should be
included if both bodies are to
approve plans for the mixed-use
Transit Village around the existing
train station.
The measures are meant to ease
impacts and issues that possibly
werent labeled as signicant in the
environmental impact report and,
according to a city staff report,
many may help resolve the neigh-
boring communitys worries.
Both the council and commission
passed the EIR for the retail and
housing complex and will begin
again in spring and summer to con-
sider the projects actual merits. But
before the Planning Commission
takes its swipe at the proposal,
Councilman Mark Olbert in mid-
February suggested the council offer
some input from its perspective.
Meanwhile, another meeting
mediation meeting is planned
between the city, developer, proper-
ty owner SamTrans and the Greater
East San Carlos board. The parties
have met 10 times already about

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
To former broadcaster Jim
Henderson, Half Moon Bay seemed
like the perfect place to start a local
radio station.
Theres a sense of community
here that you dont nd in urban
areas, said Henderson, founder of
KHMB, Half Moon Bays only
community radio station.
The AM 1710 station rst aired
Oct. 15, 2009. It started with a con-
stant loop of an hour-long radio
magazine featuring local shows,
mixed with local business ads.
Id like to do a little well rather
than a lot and sound amateur, said
Henderson, who has worked for
numerous radio stations in Northern
California.
KHMB has evolved since its
beginning more than three years
ago. The station now plays an eclec-
tic variety of music for most of the
day, including 60s and 70s music,
and Frank Sinatra and Tony
Bennett. And the weekly radio mag-
azine airs once each day, at different
times.
We have 22 people in China that
listen to us, said Henderson. The
station can be heard around the
world through KHMBs website.
Henderson is not quite sure who
the people in China are, but he says
many people in San Mateo and San
Francisco also tune in to the station
online.

Revelers from NYC to Dublin
mark St. Patricks Day
NEW YORK Crowds cheered and
bagpipes bellowed during New York
Citys annual St. Patricks Day parade
Saturday, and people with a fondness for
anything Irish began a weekend of festiv-
ities from the Louisiana bayou to Dublin.
With the holiday itself falling on a
Sunday, many celebrations were sched-
uled instead for Saturday because of reli-
gious observances.
In New York, the massive parade,
which predates the United States, was
led by 750 members of the New York
Army National Guard. The 1st Battalion
of the 69th Infantry has been marching in
the parade since 1851.
Michael Bloomberg took in his last St.
Patricks Day parade as mayor, waving
to a boisterous crowd as snowakes fell
on Fifth Avenue. Marching just behind
him was Irish Prime Minister Enda
Kenny, who presented Bloomberg with a
historic Irish teapot earlier.
The Irish are found in every borough,
every corner of New York, Kenny said at
a holiday breakfast. In previous genera-
tions they came heartbroken and hungry,
in search of new life, new hope; today
they come in search of opportunity to
work in nance, fashion, lm.
Hundreds of thousands lined the
parade route in New York, cheering the
marching bands, dance troupes and
politicians.
Were crazy, the Irish, were funny
and we talk to everyone, said 23-year-
old Lauren Dawson, of Paramus, N.J.,
who came to her rst St. Patricks Day
parade.
In downtown Chicago, thousands
along the Chicago River cheered as
workers on a boat dumped dye into the
water, turning it a bright uorescent
green for at least a few hours in an eye-
catching local custom.
In a sea of people in green shirts, coats,
hats, sunglasses and even wigs and beards,
29-year-old Ben May managed to stand
out. The Elkhart, Ind., man wore a full lep-
rechaun costume, complete with a tall
green hat he had to hold onto in the wind.
Ive got a little Irish in me, so Im
supporting the cause, he said.
May bought the outt online to wear to
Notre Dame football games. But he g-
ured it was tting for this occasion, too.
I probably will get to drink for free,
he said, after posing for a photograph
with a group of women.
Thats what Im hoping, said his girl-
friend, Angela Gibson.
Kenny, who visited Chicago for St.
Patricks Day last year, was again mak-
ing the holiday a jumping-off point for
an extended trip to the U.S., with stops in
Washington and on the West Coast over
the ensuing several days.
He and President Barack Obama were
to meet Tuesday at the White House and
Kenny was to give Obama shamrocks, a
tradition that dates to Harry S. Trumans
administration. Obama also was slated to
meet the Protestant and Catholic leaders
of Northern Irelands cross-community
government, Peter Robinson and Martin
McGuinness.
Thousands of revelers gaudily garbed
in green crammed the oak-shaded
squares and sidewalks of downtown
Savannah, Ga., on Saturday, for a cele-
bration thats a 189-year-old tradition.
Led by bagpipers in green kilts, a
parade kicked off Saturday morning,
hours after customers began lining up at
downtown bars. More than 1,000 wor-
shippers also packed the pews of the
Cathedral of St. John the Baptist for the
Mass that traditionally precedes the
parade.

T
he U.S. petroleum industry began with
Edwin Drake drilling a 69-foot well on
Oil Creek near Titusville, Penn. The
output was only a few barrels of oil a day. Soon
oil reneries were built to distill kerosene and an
oil boom was on. Other wells were drilled and
soon the area that had 250 residents in 1859
boomed into a town of over 10,000 residents. An
oil exchange was opened and tracks were laid to
transport the products to the marketplace. The
discovery of the electricity and the light bulb
spelled doom for the kerosene industry. Demand
decreased as more lights were lit but the success
of the automobile increased petroleum demand
for the production of its by-product gasoline.
In the early 1900s, there were only 4,000
autos and more than 20 million horses. The
horses ran on hay but the automobiles needed
gasoline. In the mid-1800s, the oil industry, such
as it was, produced kerosene from petroleum
and it was used primarily as a lamp fuel. The by-
product of the production of kerosene was gaso-
line. There was very little demand for it until the
invention of the internal combustion engine and
its application to the automobile. This fuel was
crude and needed a lot of innovations to make it
into the rapid developments of the engine that
ran the autos. The main sources of this stuff
were at the local general store or hardware store.
It was kept in barrels. When you needed some
you would take a bucket to the store, ll it up
and pour it into the gas tank. Simple but danger-
ous. In 1905, Sylvanus F. Bowser perfected a
pump that took gas out of a barrel and put it into
your gas tank. Soon these devices were popping
up everywhere on sidewalks where the auto
could easily be maneuvered near to it to have the
fuel pumped into the car. With only 25,000 cars
on the roads in 1905, this posed only a little
problem but, by 1910, automobiles had
increased to over 500,000. The congestion on
streets became too great and another method
needed to be found to distribute the gasoline.
The success of the automobile was nothing
but phenomenal. The production of autos fueled
a great number of industries rubber tires,
brakes, engines, etc. especially the produc-
tion and distribution of gasoline. Discovery of
an oil eld ensured instant wealth. The competi-
tion for oil and its products became cutthroat
and, for many, the instant success turned into
instant disappointment when a few people and
companies began to corner the market by
acquiring the numerous supplies of oil.
Once the gasoline was rened, the problem of
distribution became all important. The pumps
were moving off of the street onto lots where
buildings were constructed to sell the gas. The
service station was invented. Gasoline was
plentiful and cheap and operators began offering
incentives to lure business their way. Most
outlets were run by independent operators but
soon the large companies, like Standard Oil,
developed standard designs for their lling sta-
tions. Competition was erce and the operators
began offering free services to the motorist, such
as pumping your gas, washing the windshield,
checking the oil and air in tires, and offering free
maps and glassware, plates and toys when a pre-
scribed amount of gas was purchased. The large
companies would sometimes employ large
teams of men to do these services. The competi-
tion for business created many failures due to
the fact that the large companies could undercut
many independent operators and not feel the
loss as other service stations could make up for
the loss. The small operator could not stand a
loss for very long.
Slowly, the large companies dominated the
gasoline market and the free incentives
became an economic burden. The free maps and
other items cost money and the free distribution
of them ceased. More and more, each service
was cut and eventually you had to pump your
own gas, do you own windshield, pay for air for
the tires and pay for the gas to the one attendant
who ran the station.
Another aspect of what developed due to the
automobile was the need for repair of tires,
engines, etc. Blacksmiths worked with metal so
many of these shops were the rst repair shops.
Many eventually erected a pump in front of the
business and would gas up cars also. Eventually
the demand for services became so great that the
one-room gas station began repairing autos and
the full-service station was born.

Journal.

Dont think of Pradeep Gupta as a typical
grandpa although he does love his three,
almost four, grandkids.
The 69-year-old who was appointed to the
South San Francisco City Council in January
has an interest in social
media. Its a tool widely
embraced by young peo-
ple. Those are the very
same people hes hoping
to engage in civil happen-
ing around town. Social
media may be his key. Its
a simple hope: Make
younger residents aware
of the needs and opportu-
nities in their own city
which would, Gupta hopes, create new ideas
as well as a fresh inux of those willing to be
involved. Not a small task, sure, but Gupta is
hoping hell have time to work on it.
Guptas the newest of the council, appoint-
ed at the start the year to ll a vacancy left by
Kevin Mullins election to the Assembly.
While Mullins term had over two years left,
Gupta was appointed until the election in
November. At that time, Gupta plans to run
for a four-year seat. If elected, then hell real-
ly have time to dive into his plan of reaching
out to involve a greater number of residents.
Gupta is interested in creating a stronger
sense of pride in the city while also maintain-
ing open space.
Such goals were far from his mind as a
young boy born in New Delhi. He comes from
a family of engineers so what to study was
never the question but where to pursue a
degree was. Gupta holds a bachelors degree
in electrical engineering from the Indian
Institute of Technology, and masters and doc-
torate degrees in electrical engineering from
Purdue University.
His career includes 30 years of experience
with the electric utility industry including 11
years at Electric Power Research Institute,
eight years at Southern California Edison
Company and 10 years as a consultant
focused on international utilities.
Gupta ended up joining a small rm in Palo
Alto, originally bringing him out to
California. He worked in Silicon Valley only a
couple of years before he and his family
moved to work in Southern California. Much
of his professional work prepared Gupta for
the many facets of knowledge required to
serve on the council like overseeing budg-
ets, risk management, long-term planning and
researching best options.
Most recently before retiring, Gupta
worked with a French-owned energy consult-
ing rm that allowed him to visit remote
locales and learn a variety of customs.
Once he and his wife of 43 years, Kumkum,
decided to retire, they moved to South San
Francisco from Orinda 15 years ago. The cou-
ple which has two children, three grandchil-
dren and a fourth on the way, started nding
other interests to explore. For Gupta that
included woodworking and becoming active in
a local theater group. In 2008, Barack Obama
became president and Gupta likes his ideas.
During the same year, Gupta attended a local
conference to look at a critical problem in San
Mateo County that the cost of living was too
high for many people who worked here. Thats
when Gupta decided to get involved.
It was clear to me that I could do some-
thing positive for the city, he said.
After attending meetings, he applied to the
Planning Commission more than once before
joining three years ago. In his newest role,
Gupta is busy taking on a steep learning curve
but remains optimistic that he can make a dif-
ference.
Quality of life for all residents is key to
Guptas vision for South San Francisco. He
wants to celebrate the different ethnic groups
but also bring people together. Many issues
facing the city, he said, could be solved if
more people would simply get involved. How
to achieve that is the biggest challenge as
Gupta sets out for what he hopes will be at
least four years on the council.

Police arrest 12 for
selling alcohol to minors
Police in San Mateo County arrested 12 people
Friday during a tap operation to keep alcohol out of
the hands of minors.
Officers from the Consumption of Alcohol
Suppression Team participated in this statewide
enforcement, arresting 12 adults who provided
alcohol to minors, according to police.
Agencies in Brisbane, Broadmoor, Burlingame,
Colma, Daly City, Pacica, San Bruno, South San
Francisco and the jurisdictions served by the San
Mateo County Sheriff's Ofce participated in the
operation.
A minor, under the supervision of an ofcer,
stood outside a liquor or convenience store and
would ask adults to buy alcohol, police said.
The minor would indicate to the adult that he or
she is underage and cannot purchase the alcohol,
according to police.
Any adult who agreed to purchase the minor alco-
hol was arrested after providing it, according to
police.
The penalty to all 12 arrested adults was a mini-
mum of $1,000 and 24 hours of community service.
The tap operation is intended to reduce the avail-
ability of alcohol to minors, who statistically have a
higher rate of drunken driving crashes than adults,
police said.
Local brief
By Tracie Cone
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO An undercover video
that showed California cows struggling to
stand as they were prodded to slaughter by
forklifts led to the largest meat recall in U.S.
history. In Vermont, a video of veal calves
skinned alive and tossed like sacks of pota-
toes ended with the plants closure and crim-
inal convictions.
Now in a pushback led by the meat and
poultry industries, state legislators across
the country are introducing laws making it
harder for animal welfare advocates to
investigate cruelty and food safety cases.
Some bills make it illegal to take photo-
graphs at a farming operation. Others make
it a crime for someone such as an animal
welfare advocate to lie on an application to
get a job at a plant.
Bills pending in California, Nebraska and
Tennessee require that anyone collecting
evidence of abuse turn it over to law
enforcement within 24 to 48 hours which
advocates say does not allow enough time to
document illegal activity under federal
humane handling and food safety laws.
We believe that folks in the agriculture
community and folks from some of the
humane organizations share the same con-
cerns about animal cruelty, said Mike
Zimmerman, chief of staff for Assembly
Member Jim Patterson, R-Fresno, whose
bill was unveiled this week. If theres abuse
taking place, there is no sense in letting it
continue so you can make a video.
Pattersons bill, sponsored by the
California Cattlemens Association, would
make failing to turn over video of abuse to
law enforcement within 48 hours an infrac-
tion punishable by a ne.
Critics say the bills are an effort to deny
consumers the ability to know how their
food is produced.

side-by-side, Yuba County Sheriffs Capt.
Ron Johnson said. He said the two were
afliated with one of the cars or drivers but
did not yet know how.
Neither the 17-year-old driver nor anyone
else was injured, he said.
The man was pronounced dead at the
scene at Marysville Raceway Park some 40
miles north of Sacramento, and the boy was
declared dead either at the hospital or in an
ambulance, the ofcer said.
The raceway was hosting the California
Sprint Car Civil War Series on the opening
day of its season.
Steven Blakesley, the announcer calling
the race from the stands, said the sprint cars
were doing so-called hot laps about an
hour before the race when a car driven by
Chase Johnson, traveling at about 90 mph,
couldnt make a turn.

WASHINGTON Welcome to
the new off-white America.
A historic decline in the number
of U.S. whites and the fast growth
of Latinos are blurring traditional
black-white color lines, testing the
limits of civil rights laws and
reshaping political alliances as
whiteness begins to lose its
numerical dominance.
Long in coming, the demo-
graphic shift was most vividly
illustrated in last Novembers re-
election of President Barack
Obama, the first black president,
despite a historically low percent-
age of white supporters.
Its now a potent backdrop to the
immigration issue being debated in
Congress that could offer a path to
citizenship for 11 million mostly
Hispanic illegal immigrants. Also,
the Supreme Court is deciding cases
this term on afrmative action and
voting rights that could redefine
race and equality in the U.S.
The latest census data and polling
from The Associated Press highlight
the historic change in a nation in
which non-Hispanic whites will
lose their majority in the next gen-
eration, somewhere around the year
2043.
Despite being a nation of immi-
grants, Americas tip to a white
minority has never occurred in its
237-year history and will be a rst
among the worlds major post-
industrial societies. Brazil, a devel-
oping nation, has crossed the
threshold to majority-minority
status; a few cities in France and
England are near, if not past that
point.
The international experience and
recent U.S. events point to an uncer-
tain future for American race rela-
tions.
In Brazil, where multiracialism is
celebrated, social mobility remains
among the worlds lowest for blacks
while wealth is concentrated among
whites at the top. In France, race is
not recorded on government census
forms and people share a unied
Gallic identity, yet high levels of
racial discrimination persist.
The American experience has
always been a story of color. In the
20th century it was a story of the
black-white line. In the 21st century
we are moving into a new off-white
moment, says Marcelo Suarez-
Orozco, a global expert on immi-
gration and dean of UCLAs
Graduate School of Education &
Information Studies.
Numerically, the U.S. is being
transformed. The question now is
whether our institutions are being
transformed, he said.
The shift is being driven by the
modern wave of U.S. newcomers
from Latin America and Asia. Their
annual inow of 650,000 people
since 1965, at a rate thats grown in
recent years, surpasses the pace of
the last great immigration wave a
century ago. That inux, from 1820
to 1920, brought in Irish, Germans,
Italians and Jews from Europe and
made the gateway of Ellis Island,
N.Y., an immigrant landmark, sym-
bolizing freedom, liberty and the
American dream.
An equal factor is todays aging
white population, mostly baby
boomers, whose coming wave of
retirements will create a need for
rst- and second-generation immi-
grants to help take their place in the
workforce.
Rise of Latino population blurs racial lines
WASHINGTON The Supreme
Court will struggle this week with
the validity of an Arizona law that
tries to keep illegal immigrants from
voting by demanding all state resi-
dents show documents proving their
U.S. citizenship before registering
to vote in national elections.
The high court will hear argu-
ments Monday over the legality of
Arizonas voter-approved require-
ment that prospective voters docu-
ment their U.S. citizenship in order
to use a registration form produced
under the federal Motor Voter
voter registration law that doesnt
require such documentation.
This case focuses on voter regis-
tration in Arizona, which has tan-
gled frequently with the federal gov-
ernment over immigration issues
involving the Mexican border. But it
has broader implications because
four other states Alabama,
Georgia, Kansas and Tennessee
have similar requirements, and 12
other states are contemplating simi-
lar legislation, ofcials say.
The Obama administration is sup-
porting challengers to the law.
If Arizona can add citizenship
requirements, then each state could
impose all manner of its own sup-
plemental requirements beyond the
federal form, Solicitor General
Donald B. Verrilli Jr. said in court
papers. Those requirements could
encompass voluminous documen-
tary or informational demands, and
could extend to any eligibility crite-
ria beyond citizenship, such as age,
residency, mental competence, or
felony history.
A federal appeals court threw out
the part of Arizonas Proposition
200 that added extra citizenship
requirements for voter registration,
but only after lower federal judges
had approved it.
Arizona wants the justices to rein-
state its requirement.
Kathy McKee, who led the push
to get the proposition on the ballot,
said voter fraud, including by illegal
immigrants, continues to be a prob-
lem in Arizona. For people to con-
clude there is no problem is just
shallow logic, McKee said.
Justices to consider
whether voters have
to prove citizenship
Police are investigating what
caused a bus carrying a college
womens lacrosse team to veer off
the Pennsylvania Turnpike and crash
into a tree, killing a pregnant coach,
her unborn child and the driver.
Players and coaches from Seton
Hill University, near Pittsburgh,
were among 23 people aboard when
the bus crashed Saturday morning.
The team was headed to an after-
noon game at Millersville
University, about 50 miles from the
crash site in central Pennsylvania.
Head coach Kristina Quigley, 30,
of Greensburg, died of her injuries
at a hospital, Cumberland County
authorities said.

NEW YORK The New York
Police Departments practice of
stopping, questioning and frisking
people on the street is facing its
biggest legal challenge this week
with a federal civil rights trial on
whether the tactic unfairly targets
minorities.
Police have made about 5 million
stops of New Yorkers in the past
decade, mostly black and Hispanic
men. The trial, set to begin Monday,
will include testimony from a dozen
people who say they were targeted
because of their race and from
police whistleblowers who say they
were forced into making slipshod
stops by bosses who were too
focused on numbers.
When we say stop, question and
frisk, were not talking about a brief
inconvenience on the way to work
or school, said Darius Charney of
the Center for Constitutional Rights,
the lead attorney on the case.
U.S. District Court Judge Shira
Scheindlin, who has said in earlier
rulings that she is deeply concerned
about stop and frisk, is not being
asked to ban the tactic, since it has
been found to be legal. But she does
have the power to order reforms,
which could bring major changes to
how the nations largest police force
and other departments use the tactic.
Street stops have become a New
York ashpoint, with mass demon-
strations, City Council hearings and,
most recently, days of protests after
police shot a teenager who authorities
say pulled out a gun during a stop.
Stop-and-frisk trial set to begin
ST. LOUIS Carmen Ricotta
knows being a college graduate
could mean higher pay and better
job opportunities, and its not like
St. Louis Community College has-
nt been practically begging her to
wrap up her two-year degree.
The school has been calling and
emailing the 28-year-old electri-
cians apprentice to get her to return
and complete her nal assignment:
an exit exam. But life has gotten in
the way and Ricotta has been too
busy to make the 30-minute trip
from her suburban home near
Fenton to the downtown St. Louis
campus.
St. Louis Community College is
among 60-plus schools in six states
taking what seems like an obvious
but little-used step to boost college
graduation rates: scouring campus
databases to track down former stu-
dents who unknowingly qualify for
degrees.
That effort, known as Project
Win-Win, has helped community
colleges and four-year schools in
Florida, Louisiana, Missouri,
Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oregon,
Virginia and Wisconsin nd hun-
dreds of ex-students who have either
earned enough credits to receive
associate degrees or are just a few
classes shy of getting them.
Backed by nancial support from
the Indianapolis-based Lumina
Foundation for Education, the pilot
project began several years ago with
35 colleges in six states. As it winds
down, some participating schools
plan to continue the effort on their
own.
Ricotta said at this point, shes not
sure if getting her two-year degree is
all that necessary.
Its a pain, she said.
Her seeming indifference to
retroactively obtaining her degree
points to just one of the challenges
facing two-year schools in particu-
lar as they strive to fulll President
Barack Obamas challenge of rais-
ing college completion rates to 60
percent by 2020: convincing not just
the public, but even some of their
students, of the value of an associ-
ates degree.

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras
The operation was quick and under
the cover of night. Armed, masked
men arrived in late-model SUVs,
getting through the gate into the
small neighborhood of humble
homes. Without ring a shot, wit-
nesses said, they took Kevin
Samraid Carranza Padilla, 28,
known in the gang world as
Teiker, and his girlfriend, Cindy
Yadira Garcia, 19.
The next morning, Jan. 10,
Honduras major newspaper, El
Heraldo, reported that police had
captured Carranza, a leader of the
18th Street gang suspected in the
shooting death of a police com-
mander months earlier. It also pub-
lished a photo of a shirtless, tat-
tooed young man lying on the
ground, his hands behind his back,
his face partially wrapped in blue
duct tape, the roll still attached.
Carranzas mother, Blanca
Alvarado, recognized him from his
tattoos.
The photo was distributed to
media by a police prosecutor,
according to three sources who did-
nt want to be named for security
reasons. Soon after, agents at the
national criminal investigations
ofce acknowledged that there was
a detention order for Carranza, and
he had been brought in.
More than two months later,
Carranza and Yadira have disap-
peared, The Associated Press has
found. They are not in police cus-
tody and there are no criminal pro-
ceedings against them. Police now
say they know nothing about the
case.
At this point, said Carranzas
mother, one can only imagine that
they are dead.
Police have long been accused of
operating more like assassins than
law enforcement officers in
Honduras, but few cases ever have
been investigated. In the past year,
police were alleged to have been
involved in the deaths of a promi-
nent Honduran radio journalist and
the son of a former police chief
but neither killing has been solved.
Despite millions of dollars in U.S.
aid to Honduras aimed at profes-
sionalizing the countrys police,
accusations persist.
In the last three years, the AP has
learned, Honduran prosecutors have
received as many as 150 formal
complaints about death squad-style
killings in the capital of
Tegucigalpa, and at least 50 more in
the economic hub of San Pedro
Sula.
The countrys National
Autonomous University, citing
police reports, has counted 149
civilians killed by police in the last
two years, including 25 members of
the 18th street gang.
Even the countrys top police
chief has been charged with being
complicit.

CAIRO Egyptian vigilantes beat two
men accused of stealing a motorized rickshaw
on Sunday and then hung them by their feet
while some in a watching crowd chanted kill
them! Both men died, security ofcials said.
The killings come a week after the attorney
generals ofce encouraged civilians to arrest
lawbreakers and hand them over to police.
They are emblematic of the chaos sweeping
Egypt and a security breakdown of frighten-
ing proportions.
It was one of the most extreme cases of vig-
ilantism in two years of sharply deteriorating
security following the 2011 uprising.
Gruesome photos circulated quickly on
Facebook and other social media outlets,
showing images taken by people in the crowd
of thousands who watched and recorded the
lynchings on cell phone cameras.
The killings were in the town of Samanod,
about 55 miles north of Cairo in the Nile Delta
province of Gharbiya.
The lynchings allegedly followed a spate of
rapes in the area.

RAMALLAH, West Bank President
Barack Obama will find a disillusioned
Palestinian public, skeptical about his com-
mitment to promoting Mideast peace, when
he visits the region.
Obamas trip, beginning Wednesday,
appears aimed primarily at resetting the some-
times troubled relationship with Israel. But
winning the trust of the Palestinians, who
accuse him of unfairly favoring Israel, could
be a far more difcult task.
After suffering disappointments during the
first Obama administra-
tion, Palestinians see little
reason for optimism in his
new term.
The White House
announcement that
Obama will not present
any new peace initiatives
strengthened their con-
viction that the U.S.
leader isnt prepared to
put the pressure on Israel that they think is
necessary to end four years of deadlock in
negotiations.

OPINION 9
Bag ban
Editor,
While salaries of supervisors and
councilmembers rise, so do the costs to
the people.
We have all seen our trash bills rise
dramatically now the bag ban! Many
of us reuse plastic bags in many ways
trash can liners, carrying extra shoes
or wet items, sharing garden produce
etc., but now we must buy bags. Are
they biodegradable? Imagine bits of
uncontained trash ying in the air as the
arms raise it high and fump!
The paper bag fee doesnt seem like
much but is an unfair burden and cost to
large families who require many bags
laundering and carrying in many bags or
adding the fee to the already high cost
of groceries. For seniors on xed
income and low income, the dimes and
quarters will add up fast. How can the
homeless keep clean bags or afford the
added cost of paper?
To say merchants must keep a record
of bags sold but that no one will ever
look at the records is even more ludi-
crous. Why would it require another
study to eliminate the fee? I admire the
town of Woodside for taking a stand on
this. Why not just use some intelligent
thinking we expect of elected ofcials
and at least eliminate the fee part of the
bill? For those of us who feel the same
way, our only recourse is to vote these
members out of ofce as they come up
for re-election.

Ten cents for a bag? Sure. Ignore
the Constitution? Priceless
Editor,
Following the passage of the San
Carlos plastic bag ban, it is apparent
there is some confusion. The ordinance
has a requirement that retailers charge 10
cents for a paper bag, if thats what the
customer chooses. Ive seen it confused
for a charge by the city, a fee or a tax. To
be clear, it is none of these. It is, rather, a
government-mandated, minimum price.
If a retailer gives away a bag for free,
they can be ned by the county.
The mandate is one reason I voted
no. Clearly, the federal government
doesnt have the right to demand that a
merchant charge a minimum price for
items leaving their store, and I was pret-
ty sure we didnt have it in California
either. To be certain, I reviewed the
California Constitution online, using the
word search feature to make sure I
didnt miss something. Despite it being
wordy to a fault and full of excep-
tions, I couldnt nd the clause giving
that power to the government anywhere.
At our council meeting, I asked staff,
Has government ever mandated mini-
mum prices? Answer: the bottle
deposit. Not quite. With one, you can
get your money back; with the other,
you kiss it goodbye.
Ten cents is not a big deal. Ignoring the
limits placed on government by the
Constitution, now that is a big deal. We
are on a slippery slope. Government
already uses taxes and fees to encour-
age behavior. Mandating prices is now
added to the list. The United Kingdom
offers us an example: they passed a law
in 2011 mandating a minimum price for
alcohol. Why? To curb binge drinking.
And to think we fought the English to
escape their overreach.

Misinformation in Daily
Journals Cal Fire editorial
Editor,
I am shocked by the misinformation
contained in your March 13 editorial,
No on Coastside Fire Protection
District recall.
There was obviously no fact checking
done because the evidence is clear and
conrmed by outside investigators that
Cal Fire is providing excellent service.
Two of the ve CFPD directors are com-
pletely satised with Cal Fires perform-
ance. Cal Fire is a full-service re and
emergency services organization, which
offers its services in urban and rural
areas in 38 counties, answering over
350,000 calls per year in addition to
wildre suppression.
The micromanaging CFPD board
majority has imposed a 16-page
Description of Services (Schedule E) on
Cal Fire containing numbered 250 line
items, which they use to complain about
Cal Fires performance. In comparison,
San Mateo County has a three-page
Service Description (Exhibit E) in its
contract with Cal Fire to operate the San
Mateo County Fire Department. Cal Fire
has been the contract re service
provider for unincorporated San Mateo
County for over 50 years since 1962,
providing service to heavily populated
suburban areas. Also, Cal Fire was a
pioneer in providing cliff rescue service
within the county.
We have only three months left before
the coastside is left with no permanent
re service at all. There are no employ-
ees hired, no nalized structure in place,
no rm budget showing all the millions
in costs to the taxpayers that we all
know will be real and that we can docu-
ment now. The three CFPD directors
being recalled, Alifano, Mackintosh and
Riddell, have consistently refused to
renew the Cal Fire contract, even with
no backup plan. No district can put
together a fully functioning re depart-
ment from scratch in three months, yet
this is the road these three are taking
with your support. This is a shameful
abuse of editorial privilege.

The New York Times
S
ome horric events over the
past few months, including the
shooting of a Pakistani school-
girl and the rape and murder of a young
Indian physiotherapy student, should
have been an alert for the world to unite
in preventing violence against women.
But if a conference now under way at
the United Nations is any guide, that
message has not resounded with the
necessary urgency. During their two-
week annual meeting, delegates to the
Commission on the Status of Women
fear they will not be able to agree on a
nal communiqu, just like last year.
Who is to blame? Delegates and
activists are pointing ngers at the
Vatican, Iran and Russia for trying to
eliminate language in a draft commu-
niqui asserting that the familiar excuses
religion, custom, tradition cannot
be used by governments to duck their
obligation to eliminate violence. The
United Nations Human Rights Council
endorsed similar language just six
months ago.
Conservative hard-liners seem deter-
mined to ght it out again. They have
also objected to references to abortion
rights, as well as language suggesting
that rape also includes forcible behavior
by a womans husband or partner.
Poland, Egypt, other Muslim states and
conservative American Christian groups
have criticized one or more parts of the
draft. The efforts by the Vatican and
Iran to control women are well known.
It is not clear what motivates Russia,
although there is a strong antifeminist
strain in President Vladimir V. Putins
government. He may also be trying to
curry favor with Islamic states.
In any case, the suggestion that tradi-
tional values justify the violation of
basic human rights is spurious. As Inga
Marte Thorkildsen, Norways gender
equality minister, has noted, Violence
against women must be seen as a
human rights issue, and that has noth-
ing to do with culture or religion.
The conference will be a failure if it
cannot produce ambitious global stan-
dards that will deliver concrete results
to protect women and girls.
The UN Commission on the Status of Women
The rise of the
weaker sex
T
here has been much attention to the importance of
women this year and this month. In the last election,
women were a signicant factor in electing President
Barack Obama. In 2016, Hillary Clinton is a strong possibility
to run for president. This month, PBS featured a program on
womens changing lives and the impact on U.S. society over
the past 50 years. Betty Friedans groundbreaking book, The
Feminine Mystique, a rallying cry for housebound frustrated
suburban women, has been reissued. Sheryl Sandberg, chief
operating ofcer at Facebook, a mother of two and shatterer of
glass ceilings, has written
Lean In, about how women
can and should rise to the top
of the corporate world. And
now San Mateo County will
be celebrating its annual
Womens Hall of Fame at its
new permanent home, the
San Mateo County History
Museum.
***
Are women taking over?
Are they taking the jobs for-
merly held by men? San
Francisco has had a woman
police chief and re chief in
recent years. Santa Clara County has a female sheriff. The city
of San Mateo has a female police chief who last year was
elected chair of the California Police Chiefs. At several presti-
gious law and medical schools, women now outnumber men.
And Rotary Clubs, long the bastion of men, see increasing
numbers of professional and business women in their ranks.
In education, there is denitely a tilt toward women in man-
agement positions, especially at the elementary level. In the
San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District, males are
outnumbered three to one. There are 15 female principals and
only ve male. Its slightly different in the San Mateo Union
High School District where there are four male principals and
just two female. And the last two county superintendents of
school have been women. In the county as a whole, there are
15 women school superintendents, including the county super-
intendent, and 10 males.
It used to be that there were few women city managers.
Now there are eight out of 20 cities in San Mateo County.
Meanwhile in San Mateo County government, half of the 22
department heads are women; 199 of 361 management per-
sonnel are women; and 2,953 out of 4,819, or 61 percent, of
the regular work force are women. The county manager is and
has been traditionally, a man.
***
Twenty-nine years ago, the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors (with a nudge from female supervisors) set up a
Commission on Women and established a county Womens
Hall of Fame, where outstanding women who made a positive
impact on the community would be honored. Today, 270
women have been so recognized. Usually, the awards ceremo-
ny is held in a hotel at a dinner meeting. This year, it will held
at the San Mateo History Museum in Redwood City, Friday,
March 22 at 5:30 p.m. The museum is the new permanent
home where the Hall of Fame will go high tech. Usually about
a dozen women are recognized but this year the honors will
go to three elected ofcials, Rose Jacobs Gibson, recently
termed out of the Board of Supervisors; U.S. Rep. Anna
Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, (former county supervisor and one of the
founders of the Hall of Fame) and former assemblywoman
Fiona Ma, who represented San Francisco and also a small
portion of northern San Mateo County in the state Legislature.
It is really exciting that the Womens Hall of Fame will
have a permanent home at the County History Museum. IPad
based, it will feature proles of all honorees. Eventually his-
toric timelines and historic events will be added. This is a
wonderful partnership between the Historical Association and
the Womens Hall of Fame, according to San Mateo County
Supervisor Carole Groom.

Since the advent of Title IX, the explosion of medal-win-
ning female athletes and the expanded role women are playing
in the military, it would be silly to refer to todays women as
the weaker sex. In the political sphere, no male opponent or
colleague would consider U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San
Mateo, or the many women like her, a pushover. Shes smart,
tough, brave and a very successful politician. So should us
females want women to take over? Most women are not ask-
ing for that. Just a level playing eld where no matter what
your sex you have the opportunity to chose the eld in which
you excel. And receive the same pay as your male counterpart.
No closed doors because of ones chromosomes. The best per-
son for the job whether its a she or a he. May the best man or
woman win! Wow! If only our mothers and grandmothers had
lived to see this day.

BUSINESS 10
By Christina Rexrode
NEW YORK So the Dow Jones industri-
al average broke a record this month. Now
what?
Its impossible to predict how the Dow, that
popular barometer of the stock market, will
zig and zag from here. The only thing certain
about the market is that there will be more
peaks and valleys ahead, and thats about as
specic as a fortune cookie.
But we can look at the previous times the
Dow burst through a record, and measure how
long it kept rising and why it eventually
stopped ending the bull market. And what
does history show?
After it broke one record, the Dow kept ris-
ing for nearly nine years. After another, it rose
for seven years, and after another, for ve. But
after one, it topped out just two months later.
In most cases, the bull run ended because
ination and interest rates were rising and
investors feared a recession loomed. Those
conditions dont exist today.
The Dow closed at 14,253.77 on March 5,
beating its October 2007 record by 89 points.
In the eight trading days since, it has risen on
seven of them, setting a record each time. Its
only down day was Friday.
So far, its highest close ever was Thursday,
when it reached 14,539.14.
Here are previous long-held Dow records
since World War II, when they were broken
and what happened after. Jamie Farmer, a
managing director at S&P Dow Jones Indices,
helped with the calculations.
RECORD DAY: Nov. 23, 1954. The Dow
breaks the record that had stood since
September 1929, closing at 382.74.
RISE CONTINUES: It keeps rising for
seven years, gains 92 percent and peaks at
734.91 on Dec. 13, 1961.
The Dows record-breaking day in 1954
was a long time coming. It had been 25 years
since the index hit 381.17 on Sept. 3, 1929,
when the Roaring Twenties were still roaring.
The Dow plunged in the Great Depression
and bottomed at 41.22 in 1932 down an
astonishing 89 percent from the 1929 peak.
For the rest of the 1930s, it never came close
to regaining all its losses. The highest it
reached was 194.40 in 1937 still down
nearly 50 percent from the 1929 high.
During World War II, from 1941 to 1945,
the Dow rose to 174. Peacetime spurred it
even higher, helped by a baby boom and a
desire to spend after years of rationing. The
U.S. became the worlds powerhouse econo-
my because the economies of Europe and
Japan were wrecked by the war.
After a late 40s bear, the Dow went on a
bull market run that lasted from 1949 to 1961,
its longest ever.
On Dec. 13, 1961, the Dow nally peaked
at 734.91, and then it languished. In the spring
of 1962, President John F. Kennedys ght
with Big Steel over the industrys price
increases made businesses nervous about how
theyd fare under his tenure. Their apprehen-
sion deepened when Kennedy famously said,
My father always told me that all business-
men were sons of bitches, but I never believed
it til now! (He said later that he didnt mean
to refer to the entire business community.)
By June 26, 1962, the index had fallen 27
percent from the previous years record, to
535.76.
RECORD BREAKER: Sept. 5, 1963.
The Dow breaks the record that had stood
since 1961, closing at 737.98.
almost two and a half years, gains 35 percent
and peaks at 995.15 on Feb. 9, 1966.
The Dow bounced back from its so-called
Kennedy Crash, and on Sept. 5, 1963, it set
a new all-time high, up 38 percent from its
low in June 1962. President Kennedy had
taken pains to reach out to businesses and
promised lower taxes. The standoff with the
Soviet Union in October 1962, a ght that
came to be known as the Cuban Missile
Crisis, ended without war, which gave the
market license to rise again.
On February 9, 1966, the Dow hit 995.15
and stopped rising. Investors went from plan-
ning Dow 1,000 celebrations to worrying that
ination was about to creep up and that the
Vietnam War would drag on.
After the February 1966 record, the Dow
fell 37 percent over about four years. It bot-
tomed out on May 26, 1970, in the middle of
a recession, at 631.16.
RECORD BREAKER: Nov. 10, 1972.
The Dow breaks the record that had stood
since 1966, closing at 995.26.
two months, gains 6 percent and peaks at
1,051.70 on Jan. 11, 1973.
A new bull market began in May 1970, and
the Dow rose 58 percent in two and a half
years. By late 1972, cease-re talks were
under way for Vietnam, and investors were
hopeful that the U.S. would soon pull out.
Inflation had cooled to about 3 percent.
Richard Nixon had just been re-elected in a
landslide a few days before, beating George
McGovern in every state but Massachusetts as
well as D.C.
The New York Times captured the gleeful
mood as the market approached its next goal
post. Tapewatchers around the nation, the
newspaper wrote, describing the Nov. 10,
1972, record day, rooted with the zest of
football fans. Four days later, the index
closed above 1,000 for the rst time.
Where does Dow go now?
By Mitch Weiss
BOILING SPRINGS, S.C.
Johnny Duncan knew how to work a
room. Outgoing with a wide smile
and a Southern drawl, hed drape his
arm around a stranger and ask for
their backstory.
So it was no surprise that during a
visit to Florida two decades ago, the
former pool hustler from South
Carolina walked into a bingo hall
and started chatting with the owner.
Although the owner was nearly
25 years older, they quickly discov-
ered they had a lot in common. Both
served in the
military and
wanted to help
v e t e r a n s .
Eventually, they
became part of
Allied Veterans
of the World, a
Fl or i da- based
charity investi-
gators said was
a front for a
$300 million gambling operation.
Duncan was among 50 people
arrested in a handful of states last
week, and authorities said he was a
leader in the organization accused
of running nearly 50 gambling par-
lors offering computer slot
machine-style games.
The groups executives gave pre-
cious little to veterans and lavished
millions on themselves, spending it
on boats, real estate and Ferraris and
Porsches, investigators said.
The scandal led to the resignation
of Florida Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll,
a Republican who once co-owned a
public relations rm that worked for
Allied Veterans. She has not been
charged with any wrongdoing.
Duncan, 65, was in jail Sunday.
His attorney, Kelly Mathis, has been
identied by authorities as the ring-
leader, but Duncan also played a
crucial role, authorities said, and he
had a history of running a similar
scheme. Duncan pleaded no contest
more than 20 years ago to creating a
fake charity to sponsor bingo games.
His latest arrest shocked his fam-
ily, who insisted he was innocent.
He helped a lot of veterans, said
his brother Donnie Duncan.
Family members blamed Mathis
for Duncans legal problems.
His lawyer told him it was legal.
If your lawyer tells you something
is legal, you believe him, Donnie
Duncan said.
Mathis, through his attorney, has
also insisted that Mathis did nothing
wrong and the games were legal
sweepstakes, much like contests
sponsored by fast-food restaurants
or retailers.
Duncans family was worried
about his health. He had a liver
transplant in 2011 and his family
said he needed his medicine.
Right now, Im terried that hes
not going to get the care he needs,
said Duncans daughter-in-law,
Dana Duncan.
Spartanburg County sheriffs
ofce spokesman Lt. Tony Ivey said
Duncan, who is being held without
bond, was being given his medicine.

New premier in China
rejects hacking claims
BEIJING New Chinese Premier Li Keqiang dismissed
hacking accusations against China as groundless on Sunday
and said his government was committed to
strong ties with Washington.
Referring to allegations that Chinas mil-
itary was behind massive hacking attacks
on U.S. entities, Li reiterated Beijings
statements that China is a major target of
global hackers and opposes all such crimi-
nal activity.
I think we should not make groundless
accusations against each other but spend
more time doing practical things that will
contribute to cybersecurity, Li said in his rst news conference
in his new role.
Li is the highest-ranking ofcial to comment on the hacking
claims made by U.S. cybersecurity rm Mandiant that provid-
ed a detailed picture of alleged cyberspying carried out by a
Peoples Liberation Army unit based in Shanghai.
Chinas new leaders attach great importance to relations
that meet the fundamental interests of people in both countries
and serves the global trend of peace and development, Li told
reporters at the traditional premiers news conference that fol-
lows the close of the annual legislative session.
China-U.S. ties have weathered a series of crises over the
past year over dissidents, Chinese trade practices, opposition to
Chinese investment in the U.S. and most recently hack-
ing accusations. While basically stable, political ties are seen as
lagging behind the economic relationship, with two-way trade
hitting almost $500 billion last year, and Chinas new president,
Xi Jinping, isnt expected to meet President Barack Obama
until an economic summit in Russia in September.
Following Xis elevation, Li was appointed premier last
week, with running Chinas economy his main responsibility.

PANTHER BASEBALL: BURLINGAME EDGES EL CAMINO IN GOODMANS RETURN >>> PAGE 13
By Terry Bernal
On paper, the Netherlands
matchup with the Dominican
Republic in tonights World
Baseball Classic semifinal might
seem like a David and Goliath pair-
ing.
With a roster that includes 19 cur-
rent major leaguers, the Dominicans
are stacked with infield talent.
Robinson Cano, Jose Reyes, and
Hanley Ramirez alone combine for
11 All-Star Game appearances,
while veteran Miguel Tejada a
six-time All-Star is stocked in
reserve.
While the Netherlands doesnt
boast nearly as much All-Star cal-
iber at present Andruw Jones is
the only former big-league All-Star
on the roster the All-Star poten-
tial is undeniable. And there may
soon come a day when the
Netherlands young ineld mix of
Andrelton Simmons, Jonathan
Schoop, Xander Bogaerts, and the
recently added Jurickson Profar will
stack up with the major league
accolades of Cano, Reyes, and
Ramirez.
I think three years from now,
when you look at the team and the
names that were here, I think people
will realize why were here today,
Netherlands third base coach Robert
Eenhoorn said. Because weve got
guys on this team, young guys, that
are going to be tremendous play-
ers.
Eenhoorn is vastly responsible for
the insurgence of the Netherlands as
an international baseball competi-
tor. He managed the Netherlands
national team from 2001-08, includ-
ing a pair of Summer Olympics
appearances. He has since taken
over as the teams Director of
Baseball Operations.
A former big-league infielder,
Eenhoorn was quick to point out the
emergence of Simmons as the
Netherlands superstar of the 2012
WBC thus far. Simmons made a
quick name for himself last season
as a rookie in Atlanta, winning the
everyday shortstop job and earning
National League Rookie of the
Month honors in June before spend-
ing two months on the disabled list
with a hand injury.
But Simmons has proven healthy
with a sensational WBC showing.
The 23-year-old shortstop is cur-
rently leading the team with 10 hits,
and paces all WBC players with
nine runs scored.
Among the myriad trade rumors
of the offseason, all the probable
scenarios surrounding the Justin
Upton trade involved the names of
young shortstops. The Braves found
a way around parting with Simmons
by including Nick Ahmed a tout-
ed minor-league shortstop as part
of a ve-player package sent to
Arizona for Upton and third base-

By Antonio Gonzalez
BERKELEY California feels a lot differ-
ent about a second straight No. 12 seed in the
NCAA tournament than it did a year ago.
This time, it feels at home.
The Golden Bears (20-11) barely made the
eld again Sunday but will play one fewer
game and travel a far shorter distance. They
will face fth-seeded UNLV (25-9) in San
Jose on Thursday in a rematch from earlier
this season.
Its basically a home game, guard Justin
Cobbs said.
The Runnin Rebels beat the Bears in
Berkeley on Dec. 9, when Quintrell Thomas
rebounded Anthony Marshalls air ball and
scored on a short hook shot with 1.2 seconds
remaining for a 76-75 victory. If Cal avenges
that loss, it would play the winner of fourth-
seeded Syracuse and No. 13 Montana on
Saturday.

Menlo Oaks

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The runs just kept coming.
And if youre the Menlo College baseball
team, thats exactly what you wanted.
Menlo scored early and often en route to a
Saturday afternoon doubleheader sweep of the
Simpson University Red Hawks. Between the
two games, the Oaks racked up 37 runs on 36
hits and took advantage of 13 Simpson errors
to collect two commanding victories in
National Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics West play. The wins improve Menlo
to 11-13 (4-6) on the season while Simpson
drops to 1-18 (0-6).
In Game 1, the Oaks scored at least one run
in all but two innings of the nine-inning affair
ve in a big fourth frame.
The Menlo offense exploded for 18 hits in a
game that included three different players put-

Louisville is the top seed in the NCAA tour-
nament after a topsy-turvy season in college
basketball, capped by another round of upsets
over the weekend.
That other team from the Bluegrass State
wont even get a chance to defend its national
title.
While the Big East champion Cardinals
surged to the top of the 68-team bracket
released Sunday, joined by fellow No. 1 seeds
Kansas, Indiana and Gonzaga, the team that
won it all a year ago was left out of the eld.
Kentucky was hoping the committee would
overlook a dismal performance in the
Southeastern Conference tournament, but the
Wildcats will have to settle for a spot in the
second-tier National Invitation Tournament.
As if thats not bad enough for Kentucky
fans, Louisville (29-5) gets to rub a little more
salt in its rivals wounds by opening the tour-
nament about 75 miles from home on
Kentuckys home court, Rupp Arena in
Lexington. The Cardinals will face either
Liberty or North Carolina State in a second-
round game Thursday.
The selection committee had its work cut
out after ve teams swapped the top ranking
in The Associated Press poll, capped by West
Coast Conference champion Gonzaga (30-2)
moving to the lead spot for the rst time in
school history. Committee chairman Mike
Bobinski said last week he thought as many as
seven teams could be in the running for No. 1
seeds.
Of course, only four spots were available.
The top one went to No. 4-ranked Louisville,
which stumbled through a three-game losing
streak in January after rising to No. 1 in the
poll, and came up short in an epic ve-over-
time loss at Notre Dame a few weeks later.
The Cardinals havent lost since, ripping off
10 straight wins capped by a stunning turn-
around in the championship game of the Big
Louisville top overall seed in NCAA tournament

Burlingame right-hander Grant
Goodman was virtually unhittable in
his rst start of the season Saturday
night, as the Panthers edged El
Camino 2-1 at Washington Park.
This begs the question: Whats
going to happen when Goodman
really nds his groove? He allowed
one run on two hits while striking
out seven in six inning of work,
though he was in the stretch most
the night as the senior issued ve
walks.
This wasnt my best perform-
ance, obviously, Goodman said. I
usually pound the zone a little bit
more. I was ying open a little too
much. But in the fourth or fth
inning I felt like I got in my groove
and felt like I did last year. So
that was a good sign.
Last year was a special year for
Goodman, who led Burlingame to a
20-win season by posting a 7-0
record while garnering PAL Pitcher
of the Year honors. In November, he
committed to USF on a baseball
scholarship, then decided to cele-
brate by going out for Burlingames
varsity basketball squad which
went on to win a Central Coast
Section Division III crown.
Goodman squandered no time
between basketball and baseball sea-
son, though. On March 6 he was on
the court as Burlingame was elimi-
nated from the NorCal playoffs in a
58-50 loss to Campolindo. On
March 7 he was on the Burlingame
diamond for baseball practice. And
on March 8 he made his season
debut but working 2 2/3 innings of
relief in Burlingames 4-2 loss to
Serra.
Now the senior is daring to dream
big. When Burlingame baseball won
its last CCS championship in 2010,
Goodman was a freshman at Serra.
Alas, that season stands as the
benchmark for Goodmans senior-
season goal.
I hope that Im the guy that just
comes in here, glues everybody
together and makes everybody have
some fun, because thats the kind of
person I am, Goodman said. Go
out there and hopefully get a
CCS championship again this year.
The rst order of business accord-
ing to Burlingame manager Shawn
Scott, however, is to iron out the
kinks in Goodmans delivery that
led to issuing five walks to El
Camino.
No, thats not a regular Grant
Goodman start, Scott said. A reg-
ular Grant Goodman start would not
be four or ve walks. He normally
throws strikes and makes guys
swing the bats. He was a little errat-
ic tonight with his front side so
there are things him and I are
going to clean up this week with his
bullpen. This is his rst start, so
well get him in the rhythm of pitch-
ing and hell be alright.
El Camino (2-7) looked poised to
get to Goodman early when Colts
catcher Evan Giacomino, on just the
fourth pitch of the game, scorched a
double up the left-center gap.
However, Giacominos double was
the only El Camino hit to leave the
ineld all night against Goodman.
The only other Colts hit was an
ineld single in the fourth inning by
Nick Moisant.
[Goodman] changed it up,
Giacomino said. He worked back-
wards a lot and it kept us off bal-
ance. He did a really good job at
that.
Burlingame (7-1) got on the
board in the bottom of the rst by
scratching out an unearned run
against El Camino starter Josh
Eclavea. With two outs, Goodman
reached on an infield throwing
error, then stole second and later
scored on an RBI single by Andrew
Brunicardi.
In the third, El Camino manufac-
tured a run to tie it. Giacomino
walked. He advanced to second on a
passed ball, advanced to third on a
wild pitch, then scored on a sacri-
ce y off the bat of cleanup hitter
Dominic Giuliani.
In the fourth, Burlingame took the
lead for good. Jian Lee led off the
inning with the loudest swing of the
night when the lefty drove a triple
up the right-center gap. Lee later
scored on an RBI elders choice
off the bat of Michael Franco.
El Camino had a chance to over-
take Burlingame in the sixth, as the
Colts had runners at second and
third with one out. However,
Goodman buckled down, notching a
strikeout and a groundout to escape
with the lead. El Camino stranded
seven runners in the game.
In the seventh, Burlingame closer
Vince Arobio earned his fourth save
of the season by notching three
strikeouts to end it.
Lights out. Thats what a closer
does, Scott said. Hes very young
on the mound. Hes really feeling it
and learning how to pitch. He used
to be a thrower and now hes learn-
ing how to pitch.
El Camino has now lost three
one-run ballgames this season.
However, Colts manager Vic
Messer was optimistic about his
teams tenacity in playing close
games, even though the results have
not favored them thus far.
Thats the part of one-run
games, Messer said. Its not so
much what we do better, or what
they do better. Sometimes its a
bounce. Sometimes its an umpire
call. Sometimes its a better swing.
Sometimes they just beat us. It
becomes demoralizing. But what
we need to do as a team is continue
to work hard so hopefully the ball
starts bouncing our way in a one-
run game, then well be on the ip-
side.
Scott was a tad more cynical of
Burlingames second one-run win
of the year, though he said he
expects a lot more close games to
come over the course of the 2013
season.
Unfortunately its what we do,
Scott said. Were battle tested
early, which is good. Being battle
tested early against some of the
teams weve played against can help
out later on in league, knowing that
we can win a one-run ballgame and
were OK with our pitching staff
our relievers to hold us in a one-
run ballgame.
Bgame edges EC in Goodmans return
Thats the part of one-run games. Its not so much
what we do better, or what they do better. Sometimes
its a bounce. Sometimes its an umpire call.
Sometimes its a better swing. Sometimes they just
beat us. It becomes demoralizing. But what we
need to do as a team is continue to work hard so
hopefully the ball starts bouncing our way in a one-
run game, then well be on the ipside.

Homeowner must maintain property as primary residence and remain current on
property taxes and insurance
ting together four-hit efforts. Jimmy Bosco
headlined the offensive attack in the double-
header opener with his 4-for-6 day at the
plate that included a homerun and three
RBIs. Kyer Vega was a perfect 4-for-4 and
Corey Metoyer added four hits and three
RBIs in the winning effort. Daniel Comstock
and Michael Brandi recorded multi-hit days
as well with two a piece.
Joey Webb picked up the win on the mound
for Menlo allowing two runs on four hits in
seven innings of work. Webb walked three
and struck out two.
In Game 2, the Oaks picked up right where
they left off.
Menlo began that game with a seven-run
top of the rst. Mickey Phelps and Vega were
hit by pitches in consecutive at-bats to put
two runners aboard for Bosco right out of the
gate. Bosco delivered with his second long-
ball of the day, a three-run shot to deep right-
center. The three runs would prove to be
enough for the Menlo pitching staff, but the
offense continued tacking on runs throughout
the game. In total, the Oaks plated 24 runs on
18 hits and cruised to the sweep.
Derek Martinez collected the win on the
hill for Menlo. He went five scoreless
innings, allowing six hits and striking out
nine. The win is the second of the young sea-
son for the senior right-hander and the 13th
for his career. The win ties Martinez with
Adam Koontz for most wins in a career for a
Menlo College pitcher.
Five Menlo batters recorded multiple hits.
Coleman Cox was 3-for-5 with a home run,
four runs scored and seven RBIs. Comstock
added four more hits to his Saturday total
with a 4-for-7 effort. Vega added three hits to
the cause while Metoyer and Ryan Coonan
each racked up a pair of singles. In total, 16
of the 24 runs cored were earned. The Red
Hawks committed eight errors in the game.
MENLO SOFTBALL
Menlo split a pair of hotly contested games
with defending Cal Pac champion Simpson to
open conference. Consistent scoring in the
later part of Game 1 and excellent relief
pitching helped the Lady Oaks to land their
first conference win. In Game 2, Menlo
threatened with the bases loaded and trailing
by one in the bottom of the seventh, but they
were only unable to plate a runner and fell in
8-7. Menlo moves to 12-14 (1-1) on the sea-
son, Simpson is now 16-12 (2-2).
In Game 1, Simpson scored all eight of its
runs in the fourth inning and lead 8-4 after
the Oaks were able to close the gap a bit in
their half of the frame.
Huge for Menlo then was the relief pitch-
ing of Mikayela Viramontes. Viramontes
entered the game in the top of the fth and
retired eight consecutive batters.
Her performance held Simpson scoreless in
the nal three innings and allowed the Menlo
offense an opportunity to claw its way back
into contention.
Viramontes collected the win in her three
scoreless innings of relief. Emily Stokes took
the loss allowing ve runs on ve hits and
ve walks in 4.1 innings.
Four lead changes made Game 2 another
back-and-forth affair between the teams.
Menlo jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on a
Jessica Soliai two-run single. Simpson scored
a run in the second and three in the third off
Menlo starter Jiana Bowie. Bowie struggled
with her location in the game, allowing six
walks in 2.1 innings. Kelly Hager came on to
nish the remaining 4.2 innings allowing
four runs on six hits over that span. She
picked up the loss.
Menlo threatened to sweep the double-
header with a bases loaded situation in the
bottom of the seventh but could not convert it
into a run.
Soliai and Ululani Reyes chipped in with
multi-hit efforts for the Lady Oaks in Game
2.
MENLO WRESTLING
Cady Chessin is the newest addition to the
2013 womens wrestling recruiting class at
Menlo College.
Chessin is a two-time California state
wrestling champion at 114 pounds while
wrestling for Los Gatos High School. Bill
Mitchell, head womens wrestling coach at
Menlo College, is pleased to have such a
well-rounded wrestler and student athlete
join the Lady Oaks program.
As a coach I look for a few traits in my
recruits. This fall I had the opportunity to
notice one particular girl that meets my
expectations of a self starter, off season train-
er, dedicated and most importantly intense on
the mat, Mitchell said via release. As a stu-
dent, she appears to excel in the classroom
also. With Cady leading the pack of freshman
I am recruiting, I see a bright future.

ending Yani Tsengs 109-week run at No. 1
with a comeback victory Sunday in the
LPGA Founders Cup.
Diagnosed with scoliosis when she was
11, Lewis had to have major back surgery
when the brace failed to correct the curva-
ture in her spine.
I was going into surgery to put a rod and
ve screws in my back, Lewis said. That
was just 10 years ago. Thats not normal,
thats not supposed to happen. I mean, Im
not, Im really not supposed to be here. People with metal in
their back, how do you play golf? I dont know. I dont know
how. I dont know why Im here. I know that theres a reason
and I know that everything happens for a reason.
Coming off a victory two weeks ago in Singapore, the 28-
year-old Lewis won her seventh LPGA Tour title. She won the
2011 Kraft Nabisco and has six victories in her last 23 events.
Im having a blast on the golf course, and to be No. 1 in the
world, its what everybody out here on tour is working for and
to be that person is, I mean, I really dont even know what to
say, said Lewis, the tour player of the year last year after win-
ning four times.
Shes the second American to top the rankings that began in
2006. Cristie Kerr was No. 1 for ve weeks over three stints in
2010.

TORONTO Back where their win-
ning streak started on Super Bowl
Sunday, the Miami Heat kept rolling
right into March Madness.
Now its on to Boston to face the rival
Celtics the team who ended the last
streak this long.
The Heat equaled the second-longest
winning streak in NBA history, pulling
away in the fourth quarter Sunday to
beat the Toronto Raptors 108-91 for
their 22nd consecutive victory.
Its a special ride right now that were
on, LeBron James said. The best thing
about it is were doing it together.
James had 22 points and 12 rebounds
for his career-best 32nd double-double
of the season, Dwyane Wade had 24
points and nine assists, and Ray Allen
scored 16 of his 20 points in the fourth
quarter for the defending NBA champi-
ons.
Chris Bosh nished with 18 points as
the Heat matched the 22 consecutive
wins recorded by the 2007-08 Houston
Rockets. The NBAs longest streak is 33
games, set by the 1971-72 Los Angeles
Lakers.
Miami will try to move into sole pos-
session of second on Monday when it
visits the Celtics who ended the
Rockets run ve years ago and have
won 11 in a row at home.
If theres any group that would be
motivated in a circumstance like this, its
that team in green, Heat coach Erik
Spoelstra said. I dont know if the
streak will be a big factor but they love
playing against us, and vice versa. Thats
what happens when you meet a team
consecutively in the playoffs. Theres a
history there, and thats what makes
these games special.
The Heat have faced the Celtics twice
so far this season. They blew out Boston
120-107 in Miami on opening night,
then lost 100-98 in double-overtime on
the road on Jan. 27, the day Boston
learned that Rajon Rondo needed knee
surgery.
They played better than us for a large
part of that game, Spoelstra said.
Winners of two straight, the Celtics
may be without veteran forward Kevin
Garnett on Monday. The 15-time All-
Star sat out Saturdays victory over
Charlotte with a strained left thigh and is
day-to-day.
We have to treat them with the
respect they deserve, Spoelstra said.
Regardless of who plays for them,
thats a team that will come out with an
incredible amount of urgency.
Wade called the looming matchup
with Boston a great challenge yester-
day.
Heat win 22nd straight
Lewis comes back

East tournament. They trailed Syracuse by 16
points early in the second half, but turned up
the full-court pressure and won in a romp, 78-
61.
No. 7 Kansas (29-5) moved up to take the
second overall seed after an impressive run
through the Big 12 tournament, capped by a
70-54 victory over rival Kansas State in the
title game. No. 3 Indiana (28-6) is third over-
all despite falling to Wisconsin in the Big Ten
seminals. The Zags claimed the last of the
coveted No. 1 seeds, edging out Atlantic
Coast Conference champion Miami.
The top spots are signicant in at least one
respect: A No. 1 has never lost to a 16th-seed-
ed team.
Its going to happen. A 16 is going to beat
a 1 eventually, Kansas coach Bill Self said.
Certainly we dont hope that happens. Ill
pull for all the 1 seeds to make sure that does-
nt happen, but it will (eventually). Theres
more parity this year than years past. This is a
unique tournament. I havent studied the
bracket, but I would expect the unexpected.
There will be a lot of mild upsets in this tour-
nament.
Miami became the rst ACC team to be
denied a top seed after winning both the regu-
lar season and the conference tournament in
the ACC. The Hurricanes were among the No.
2 seeds with conference rival Duke,
Georgetown from the Big East, and Big Ten
tournament champion Ohio State.
Miami had a tremendous year. They are a
great basketball team, Bobinski said. If we
had ve spots, Miami would be there with us.
We have great appreciation for the year
Miami has had. In the nal analysis, we put
Gonzaga just ahead of them. But it was very,
very close.
Duke cost itself a shot at a No. 1 seed with
an upset loss to Maryland in the quarternals
of the ACC tournament. Georgetown lost in
the Big East seminals and settled for a No. 2
as well, but Indiana was in no danger of drop-
ping off the top line, despite its loss to the
Badgers. Bobinski said the Hoosiers overall
body of work was good enough to ensure they
didnt fall below one of the top four spots, no
matter what happened Sunday.
The tournament begins Tuesday with a pair
of games in Dayton, Ohio. Everyone is trying
to get to Atlanta for the Final Four, which
begins April 6 at the Georgia Dome.
On Thursday, Gonzaga takes on Southern in
the second round of the West Regional at Salt
Lake City. The Zags will be relishing their
rst No. 1 seed, though they are hardly a tour-
nament neophyte; this is their 15th straight
NCAA appearance, a mid-major program that
has shown it can hang with the big boys.
This season, they come into the tournament
on a 14-game winning streak.
The Zags are no longer the plucky upstarts.
Theyre one of the favorites.
In our judgment thats a very complete and
very strong basketball team, Bobinski said.
On Friday, Kansas stays close to home in
Kansas City, Mo., facing Western Kentucky in
a South Regional second-round game, while
Indiana opens in Dayton at the East Regional
against either LIU Brooklyn or James
Madison, another of the First Four contests.
One thing is for sure in this most uncertain
season: There wont be a repeat champion.
A year after taking its eighth national title
only UCLA has won more Kentuckys
success in restocking each year with the best
one-and-done prospects hit a roadblock. The
Wildcats never meshed as a unit, then lost the
best of the freshmen when Nerlens Noel went
down with a season-ending knee injury.

man Chris Johnson.
Prospect showcase
It seems the reason Upton isnt now with
the Red Sox or the Rangers is because neither
team was willing to part with its respective
top prospect. Both of whom are shortstops.
And both of whom are on the Netherlands
WBC team.
Said Eenhoorn of the Rangers not trading
Profar and the Red Sox not trading Bogaerts:
Smart move. Ill tell you what. These guys
can play for us any time. Theyre not only
great players. Theyre great kids too. Its fun
to be around them. Theyre having fun and
theyre great people. Their personalities are
just tremendous.
Profar currently ranked the top amateur
prospect in the game by Baseball America
was recently added to the Netherlands roster
after Yurendell de Caster was injured March
11 against Cuba. Bogaerts currently
ranked the No. 8 prospects in the game is
slated to move to a reserve roll for the
Netherlands, with Profar to take over at sec-
ond base, and Schoop to move from second
base to third.
Despite being pushed to the bench,
Bogaerts was excited about the addition of
Profar.
Oh man, hopefully hell play a great
game, Bogaerts said. Help us get some runs
and help us make defensive plays. He plays
well for a young kid. I played with him grow-
ing up when we were small. So its going to
be pretty nice to play with him now.
Bogaerts is one of two Netherlands players
from the Caribbean island of Aruba in the
Dutch Antilles. Because of this, he grew up
playing against Profar and Schoop, who both
hail from the island of Curacao the largest
island in the Dutch Antilles which
accounts for 14 current players on the
Netherlands WBC roster.
Tejadas return to SF
While the Netherlands is managed by
Giants hitting coach Hensley Muelens, and
Giants reliever Santiago Casilla has been a
workhorse out of the pen for the Dominican
Republic, one of the most unheralded returns
to the Bay Area is that of Tejada.
The 2002 American League Most Valuable
Player as a member of the As, Tejada last
played in the major leagues as a member of
the Giants in 2011. And he owns an interest-
ing footnote in Giants history as he had the
game-winning hit April 9, 2011 against the
Cardinals on the night San Francisco received
its 2010 World Series Championship rings.
Thats really special, Tejada said.
Because when you play in front of your
home crowd, especially that night they got
the rings for the World Series. It gave me
extra energy.
Along with Derek Jeter and Nomar
Garciaparra, Tejada was once considered
among the big three of AL shortstops. So, its
tting his Dominican team should match up
against the Netherlands in his return to AT&T
Park, as the Dutch may very well boast the big
three of the future in Simmons, Bogaerts, and
Profar.
I think this is good for world baseball,
Tejada said. I think it is good to see all these
young guys coming up from other countries.
Especially from the Netherlands. I think they
are not very familiar [in] baseball for now. To
see all these young guys with not a lot of time
[in] the big leagues. I think they have some
talent. They have some guys that are going to
be good in the big leagues in a couple years.
WBC
bracket also includes No. 1 seed Indiana and
No. 2 seed Miami.
Weve been criticized this whole year
were soft, we cant compete with top athletic
teams and stuff. But its time for us to make a
name for ourselves, that we can compete not
just against the top teams in our conference,
but in the country, said guard Allen Crabbe,
the Pac-12 Player of the Year.
This year
The opening-round matchup seems far
more maneuverable this season.
The Bears bounced out of the Big Dance in
the rst round last March, falling 65-54 to fel-
low No. 12 seed South Florida after going
down 36-13 at the half in Dayton, Ohio. The
Bulls earned a spot in the eld of 64 with that
win.
I think a year ago we were excited to get
in, but we didnt play like it, Cobbs said.
The journey from its home at Haas Pavilion
to the neutral site at HP Pavilion in San Jose
is only about 50 miles south down Interstate
880. The short distance will allow Cal to keep
its usual practice schedule, avoid changing
time zones and rest a whole lot more.
Were excited about the location. It just
makes logically everything so much easier,
Cal coach Mike Montgomery said. Weve
got our work cut out for us, but it just seems
so much more manageable.
For the second selection Sunday in a row,
there were some nervous moments in
Berkeley.
Cal rolled off seven straight wins before
losing at home to rival Stanford in the regular-
season nale and needed to play well in the
Pac-12 tournament to ensure an NCAA invite.
Instead, the Bears were upset by Utah in the
rst round and had to wait three anxious days
to nd out they earned the at-large bid.
Adding to the uncertainty, the CBS televi-
sion broadcast announced Pac-12 tournament
champion Oregon as a No. 12 seed in the
Midwest Region. After about 10 quiet min-
utes, Cal nally learned its fate, leading to
light cheers and maybe a few exhales felt
around the athletic ofces that surround
Haas Pavilion.
There was some apprehension, I suppose,
when Oregon got a 12 (seed), Montgomery
said. Im thinking, Uh-oh. There could be
some question mark there.
Big boys
An even more difcult task now awaits Cal:
proving it belongs among the big boys.
Montgomery has produced three of the last
four Pac-12 players of the year Crabbe,
Jorge Gutierrez (2012) and Jerome Randle
(2010) but has failed to lead a deep run in
the tournament in his rst four years at Cal.
Besides last seasons early exit, the Bears also
missed the tournament in 2011, lost in the sec-
ond round to Duke in 2010 and were defeated
in the rst round by Maryland in 2009.
Montgomerys magic at Stanford over 18
years including a Final Four appearance in
1998 just hasnt taken shape in March
across the bay at Cal yet and he knows it.
You play for ve months. You work so
hard to earn the right to be in this tournament.
And weve done that, and thats a credit to the
kids, Montgomery said. And now weve got
this opportunity to go out and hopefully we
can take advantage of it. This is where you
kind of make or break. You can really do some
things if you can advance through the tourna-
ment.

Stephen Curry scored 29
points, Klay Thompson had 26 with
six 3-pointers, and Golden State
stayed ahead of Houston in the
Western Conference standings with
a 108-78 win over the Rockets on
Sunday night.
James Harden and Jeremy Lin
scored 21 points apiece for the
Rockets, who now trail Golden
State by 1 1/2 games for the No. 6
seed in the West.
Golden State snapped a ve-game
losing streak to the Rockets and got
some payback for a 140-109 loss in
Houston on Feb. 5, the Warriors
most lopsided loss of the season.
The Rockets
scored a season-
high point total
in that one and a
s e a s o n - l o w
point total on
Sunday night.
Golden State
also held
Houston to sea-
son-low point
totals in the rst quarter (10) and
rst half (31) and won in Houston
for the rst time since Dec. 31,
2007.
The Rockets were the NBAs
highest scoring team coming into
the game, but their offense looked
awful most of the night.
Houston went 3 for 23 from the
eld and had four turnovers in the
rst quarter. No one was immune to
the dysfunction Harden missed a
driving layup, rookie Thomas
Robinson blew an uncontested dunk
and Donatas Motiejunas missed all
six of his shots.
The Warriors had offensive issues
of their own early, starting 8 for 28.
Curry and Thompson went a com-
bined 2 for 12 in the opening quar-
ter and Curry missed his rst four 3-
point tries.
Backup center Greg Smith pro-
vided a spark for Houston with a
three-point play and a one-handed
dunk at the start of the second quar-
ter. But Smith quickly picked up
two fouls and went to the bench.
Thompson swished a 3 from the
corner with 8:17 left in the rst half
to extend the lead into double digits.
Lin sank Houstons rst 3-pointer
in nine attempts, but Curry
answered with his rst 3-pointer
and a jumper in the lane as Golden
State stretched the lead to 14. Curry
sank a fallaway 3-pointer from the
corner and a oater in the lane as
the gap swelled past 20.
Golden State led 54-31 at half-
time. In their previous meeting here,
Houston scored 77 points in the rst
half, its season high. The Rockets
went 2 for 16 from 3-point range
and had more turnovers (8) than
assists (5) in the rst half.
Houston rallied from a 59-39
decit to beat Minnesota on Friday
night and the way the third quarter
started, it looked like another mon-
ster comeback might be brewing.
Harden intercepted a pass and
raced for a layup and 3-pointers by
Lin and Harden trimmed the decit
to 11.
Harden turned a steal into a
breakaway layup and Chandler
Parsons swished a 3-pointer from
the corner for his rst basket as the
Rockets continued their surge and
cut the gap to 62-57.
But Thompson sank three 3-
pointers in a 4-minute span and
Houston started missing again. The
Warriors nished the third quarter
with a 13-3 spurt to lead 75-60
heading to the fourth. The Warriors
led by double digits the entire fourth
quarter.

GREENSBORO, N.C. After
helping North Carolina turn its sea-
son around, P.J. Hairston nearly car-
ried the Tar Heels to an Atlantic
Coast Conference tournament
championship.
Hairston scored 28 points with six
3-pointers in Sundays 87-77 loss to
No. 9 Miami in the final. That
capped a weekend of big perform-
ances in his hometown despite a cut
on his non-shooting hand that
required him to wear a padded
bandage for the last two games.
It felt fine, Hairston said.
Didnt bother me at all. I mean,
just the thought of me having
stitches in my left hand, it
stopped me from kind of trying to
reach or trying to do certain
things, but I still played through
it regardless.
The 6-foot-5 sophomore scored
21 points with ve 3-pointers in
Fridays quarterfinal win against
Florida State, though he suffered the
cut to the webbing between his left
middle and ring ngers a wound
that required eight stitches. He
returned for Saturdays seminal
against Maryland and nished with
13 points and two more 3s.
Hairston nished 9 for 17 from
the eld and 6 for 13 from 3-point
range against the Hurricanes. He
was named to the all-tournament
team.
It was like a video game at rst,
senior Dexter Strickland said. He
was hitting all his shots. He played
amazing this whole week.
For Miami, Shane Larkin scored a
career-high 28 points, eight in the
nal 2 1/2 minutes, to help the
Hurricanes pull away.
Trey McKinney Jones added a
career-high 20 points for the top-
seeded Hurricanes (27-6), including
the go-ahead 3-pointer from the left
corner with 6:27 left that started
Miamis nal push to secure the
programs first ACC tournament
title.
In a terric back-and-forth game
lled with big shots, the Hurricanes
nally slowed the third-seeded Tar
Heels (24-10) enough down the
stretch to secure what amounted to a
road win in front of UNCs home-
state crowd.
The Tar Heels hit 13 3-pointers,
which fell one shy of tying the pro-
grams record in the tournament.
But it wasnt enough to secure
UNCs rst ACC title since 2008
nor coach Roy Williams 700th
career victory.
No. 9 Miami beats UNC 87-77 for 1st ACC title

BRISTOL, Tenn. Kasey
Kahnes bumper-banging battle
with Brad Keselowski was just the
warm-up act in an action-packed
race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Former teammates Denny Hamlin
and Joey Logano exchanged words
after the race in person and on
Twitter because Hamlin spun
Logano as Logano was racing for
the lead.
A at tire knocked Jeff Gordon
and Matt
Kenseth out of
the race while
they were run-
ning 1-2.
T y p i c a l
Bristol, right?
It looked that
way as Kahne
and Keselowski
staged a spec-
tacular battle for
the lead, only for a caution to put
them side-by-side for a restart with
39 laps to go.
Keselowski had an issue, he either
spun his tires or the Hamlin-Logano
feud disrupted his start, and Kahne
sailed away for his rst career victo-
ry at Bristol.
Feels really good to win at this
place, Kahne said. Such a tough
track over the years. This is a big
race for me. When you race in the
Sprint Cup Series, Bristol is a race
you want to win.
Tempers flared after the race
when Logano leaned inside
Hamlins window to complain
about Hamlin spinning him as he
tried to pass Gordon for the lead.
Logano was pulled away from
Hamlins car by crew members for
both drivers in a classic post-Bristol
clash that delighted the crowd.
Theyre fighting! Its Bristol!
yelled Clint Bowyer, who saw the
action on the ineld big screen.
Logano wouldnt discuss what he
told Hamlin, but indicated theres
no love lost between the former Joe
Gibbs Racing teammates.
Thats a freaking genius behind
the wheel of the 11 car probably
the worst teammate Ive ever had,
Logano said. I have a scorecard
and Im not putting up with that.
What goes around, comes around. I
had to put up with him for years, so
whatever.
Hamlin shrugged it all off.
He said he was coming for me,
Hamlin said. I usually dont see
him, so its usually not a factor.
The two sparred briey on Twitter
after the season-opening Daytona
500, when Hamlin complained
Logano ruined the closing laps of
the race. But he said Sundays ap
was not a carryover.

heres an old saying ... if you dont
like pet hair, then staff off my
couch! Thats for all the pet owners
who truly dont mind their pets making the
couch their own. Not everyone is in this
camp. Many others love their dogs, but want
them to have boundaries. My wife and I jok-
ingly call Murray our ungrateful mop. Im
guessing he was a backyard dog in his pre-
vious home; with us, he spends 95 percent
of his time inside. You think that would be
good enough, but noooo. We learned that he
likes to hop up on the comfy couch when
we leave. And, hes not alone. Many dogs
do this; some, like, Murray, quickly hop off
the couch as soon as they hear their owners
pull up. We know Murray does this for fact
because of the telltale impression and warm
spot on the couch cushion. Whats an owner
to do if they want to keep their dog off the
sofa? First, make sure your dog has a decent
alternative, a warm cozy place to lie, prefer-
ably in a spot where he feels hes part of the
action and can see his people. If you sense
that hes not digging his bed and is longing
for your couch, make sure to reward him
with treats and praise when he retires for the
night in the preferred spot. For some dogs,
this wont be enough. Theyll happily sneak
back to the couch as soon as you retire for
the night. You can deter them by placing
items on the couch. For us, this is easy,
since we have many good-sized kids toys
lying around. Other turns their cushions on
their sides to discourage couch-potato
behavior. In either case, your dog begins to
realize the couch is not an option. Couch
blocking may not have to be a permanent
approach, but you can use it periodically to
remind him.

NEW YORK Oz the Great
and Powerful is living up to its
name at the box ofce.
Walt Disneys 3-D blockbuster
led all lms for the second week in
a row, taking in $42.2 million
according to studio estimates
Sunday. Sam Raimis prequel to the
L. Frank Baum classic The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz also took
in $46.6 million overseas, leading to
a two-week worldwide total of
$281.8 million.
In a winter of underperforming
releases, that makes Oz easily the
biggest hit of 2013 so far.
Boy, did we need it, said Paul
Dergarabedian, box-ofce analyst
for Hollywood.com. There have
been a lot of box-ofce casualties
this year. This is the shot in the arm
that we needed, but were still wait-
ing for the marketplace to gain
some sort of momentum.
The box ofce is down nearly 13
percent from last year.
Among the weekends debuts, the
Halle Berry thriller The Call far
exceeded expectations with a $17.1
million opening for Sony and
TriStar Pictures. The Steve Carell
magician comedy The Incredible
Burt Wonderstone fared worse,
opening with a disappointing $10.3
million for Warner Bros.
The performances of the two new
releases continued a theme of 2013:
Movies targeting female audiences
have had more success than male-
driven lms. The Call, in which
Berry plays a 911 operator, was
deliberately marketed to women,
who made up 61 percent of its audi-
ence, Sony said. Burt
Wonderstone, starring Carell and
Jim Carrey as rival Las Vegas magi-
cians, sought a young male comedy
audience that didnt materialize.
Female turnout has driven most
all of the box ofce hits of the year,
including the Melissa McCarthy
comedy Identity Thief and the
vampire romance Warm Bodies.
Macho films like Arnold
Schwarzeneggers The Last Stand
and Sylvester Stallones Bullet to
the Head have zzled.
Studios should take note, says
Dergarabedian. Theres a lot of
female power going on at the box
ofce.
Opening in just three theaters in
New York and Los Angeles was
another lm starring James Franco,
who plays the Wizard in Oz the
Great and Powerful. Spring
Breakers, a dreamy trip of day-glo
debauchery starring Franco, Selena
Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens,
opened with a strong $90,000 per-
theater average ahead of its wider
release next weekend.

Family Connections
honors supporters
Family Connections, a tuition free non-
prot preschool for low-income families,
honored three important supporters at their
Night of Dreams event at the Sharon
Heights Country Club Tuesday, Feb. 26.
More than 200 friends, elected ofcials,
donors and supporters gathered to honor
three outstanding partners and to help raise
funds for its free preschool and parent educa-
tion programs.
More than $60,000 was raised thanks to
the contributions of event attendees, sponsors
and fund-a-need contributors.
The event also provided an opportunity to
introduce Young Scholars, an educational and
mentoring program. The evening opened
with a welcome by former Assembly speak-
er pro tem Fiona Ma. Brad Lewis, former
San Carlos mayor and producer of Pixars
Oscar-winning lm Ratatouille served as
event emcee.
The honorees were Little Wonders, a
play-based, parent participation program
serving Bay Area Peninsula families since
1992; the Sequoia District Adult School
and Cris Adair, former Family Connections
board president. Parent speakers/presenters
were Yadira Cardenas, Farrah Johnson,
Genaro Solorio and Genaro Solorio Jr.

unresolved concerns and mediation coupled with the improve-
ment measures may solve many of the worries, according to a
staff report by Community Development Director Al Savay.
For example, SamTrans is considering free parking options
and both it and the city are considering moving shuttles to the
west side to eliminate possible safety hazards. Environmental
cleanup will happen during construction to deal with toxics
under the berm and developer Legacy is considering a count-
er offer on building heights.
At Mondays meeting, the council and Planning
Commission will specically focus on 13 improvement meas-
ures suggested by the commission, all of which they can
ignore, adopt or increase. The measures include having the
developer prepare a landscape design plan for the vacant rail-
road corridor property, contribute funding toward a residential
parking permit program and more thoroughly study noise
before and after construction. The nal EIRs measures also
include improving the intersection at El Camino Real and
Holly Street and using water conservation methods in con-
struction and landscaping.
The proposal by Foster City-based developer Legacy
Partners calls for converting a 10.53-acre strip of land within
the existing Caltrain station and running parallel to the rail-
road corridor. The project envisions eight four-story buildings
with 281 housing units among a mix of 407,298 square feet of
residential, 23,797 square feet of ofces and 14,326 square
feet of retail space. The project would also include 667 park-
ing spaces and a new SamTrans Transit Center on 4.29 acres.
Not every councilmember was initially sold on the idea of a
joint meeting when Olbert suggested it last month but ulti-
mately agreed. Mayor Bob Grassilli, for one, said the two
bodies are kept independent for a reason. Councilwoman
Karen Clapper also wondered if the council wasnt getting
ahead of itself since there is not a specic blueprint proposed.
On the other hand, Councilman Matt Grocott felt a heads-up
on the councils priorities is a good move.
Both bodies have already spent dozens of hours over
numerous meetings addressing the Transit Village project.
Along with the joint meeting, the city also considered plan-
ning a separate site visit and walking tour of the area ear-
marked for development but Assistant City Manager Brian
Moura said that has been postponed.
The joint meeting is 7 p.m. tonight at City Hall, 600 Elm St.,
San Carlos.

Radio Magazine
Hendersons mission is not to hear his
own voice on the air. Rather, his goal is
to provide a medium for other local
voices.
I want people to turn on the radio and
hear their neighbors and friends, he
said. I want to make this truly a com-
munity resource in every way.
The radio magazine features local
voices speaking on a variety of topics.
One of Hendersons own neighbors
hosts the popular segment Coastside
Carousel. Christopher ODonnells
show features music and interviews with
local musicians.
ODonnell likes to bring the artists
into the intimate setting of KHMBs
cozy downtown recording studio. The
interviews feel more like sitting down in
the living room for a chat than a formal
show, he said.
I like them to feel like they are com-
ing for a visit, not to promote them-
selves, said ODonnell.
The magazine also includes a weekly
feature story. Past stories have included
interviews with a local retired astronaut
and a retired Secret Service agent.
An upcoming feature will focus on the
recall election for the Coastside Fire
Protection District board, with inter-
views with incumbents and the candi-
dates challenging their seats, said
Henderson.
Keeping with the community-cen-
tered content, Community Bulletin
Board details nonprot news. And Pet
Patrol, a segment hosted by the owner of
Kibbles n Gifts Pet Shop, is popular
with animal lovers, Henderson said.
Henderson hopes to add more shows
to the station that speak to particular
demographics, along with developing a
daily Half Moon Bay news program.
Emergency communication
Besides being a source of local infor-
mation, the small station has the poten-
tial to serve another important purpose.
Henderson has offered KHMB as a
potential communication tool in the
event of a disaster.
He is working on a plan with the San
Mateo County Office of Emergency
Services to bring information to the iso-
lated coastal area in an emergency.
If there was a county-wide emer-
gency, Half Moon Bay would be the
Staten Island of New York, he said. If
cellphone towers went down, you could
turn on your car [radio] and get some
information.
Getting on the air
Getting on the airwaves wasnt easy.
Henderson rst tried to get a low-power
FM frequency through the Federal
Communications Commission, but
nothing was available. He nally found
a way to secure a low-power AM fre-
quency.
A group of radio transmitters on top
of a building in downtown Half Moon
Bay distributes a good signal to all of
Half Moon Bay proper and some fringe
areas, Henderson said.
In the future, Henderson hopes to set
up another group of transmitters near
the airport, allowing for neighbors in El
Granada and Montara to tune in.
There are some quirks that affect a
low-frequency AM station, including
weather. On foggy days, the signal
reaches a little farther than it does on
sunny day.
Were probably one of the few sta-
tions operating like this, said Brad
Mencarelli, who has worked for major
Bay Area radio stations, including
KGO, ABCs local station.
Being near the ocean also impacts AM
signals, he said. This may be the reason
an AM 1700 station in San Diego can
sometimes can be heard on their 1710
frequency, said Mencarelli, who handles
the stations automated broadcasting.
The KHMB automation computer
known as Hal a reference to the 1968
movie 2001: A Space Odyssey
sends the pre-recorded shows and music
lineups to the transmitters.
Mencarelli also helps local business
owners to record professional-quality
commercials. After years of working as
a sound engineer, he knows how to aw-
lessly mix music into radio commer-
cials.
He played an ad just recorded by a
woman advertising her local in-home
care business, with the soothing music
he had mixed into it.
Shes never done radio before, said
Mencarelli, admiring the womans on-
air voice.
Spinning records
After attending the College of San
Mateo, Henderson worked in broadcast
radio in Stockton, Tahoe and Santa
Rosa, among other places.
He recalled his rst job working as a
DJ in Stockton in the 60s. On weekdays
from midnight to 6 a.m., he played Top
40 records.
You were spinning the hits, he said
of the old radio days.
He ended up in the rental car business,
but never lost his love of radio.
If you live in Half Moon Bay, tune in
to AM 1710. For more information, or to

probably dangerous consequences of his
actions.
His license was permanently suspended in
2011 but his record of crashes linked to the
condition date back to 2002.
Between 2002 and 2011, Corsiglia had
seven trafc accidents. Six were between 2007
and 2011 and all were reported to involve
speeding and seizures. One day in 2007,
Corsiglia reportedly left one Redwood City
accident that injured three to rent a new car. A
few hours later in San Bruno, he reportedly
ran a stop sign and broadsided a car with two
passengers before running off an embankment
and into a tree.
He also has three prior convictions for driv-
ing on a suspended license and a couple DUIs.
In 2004, while on probation for an earlier
domestic violence conviction, Corsiglia was
convicted by a jury of striking his girlfriend
with a telephone receiver. The defense
claimed Corsiglia was unconscious at the time
due to intoxication and seizures.
Along with Corsiglia, the civil suit lists
unnamed defendants who should have report-
ed him to either a health ofcer or Department
of Motor Vehicles because of his dangerous
condition. Failing to do so permitted him to
drive which led to the deaths of Picazo and
Gomez, the suit states.
Corsiglia remains in custody without bail.
He is not currently represented legally in the
civil suit.

He left his sunny Silicon Valley work envi-
ronment for the frigid cold of the Great Lakes
in a city recently named the nations most
miserable by Forbes Magazine for its high rate
of violent crimes, high unemployment, declin-
ing population and nancial crisis.
Just Monday, Kwame Kilpatrick, a former
mayor of Detroit, was found guilty of racket-
eering, fraud and extortion, after a ve-month
public corruption trial.
Lost jobs
Detroit has lost more than 323,000 jobs
since 2005.
It has also seen a mass exodus of people
leaving the city with its population falling
nearly 25 percent in 10 years from 951,270 in
2000 to 713,777 in 2010, according to U.S.
Census Bureau gures.
Soon, Detroit may be forced to le for
municipal bankruptcy. Michigan Gov. Rick
Snyder declared that it was in a nancial
emergency March 1 and just Thursday, he put
Detroit in the hands of an emergency nancial
manager to lead the troubled city.
While Clarke was brought it to help the
struggling city two years ago, its woes contin-
ue.
So, is Detroit really that miserable and if so
why would Clarke want to stay?
No, its not the most miserable city.
Miserable means there is no hope and there is
hope here, he told the Daily Journal.
He described downtown Detroit as a ghost
town when he rst arrived.
That has changed, however, as big players
such as Quicken Loans Dan Gilbert has
invested heavily in the city, he said.
Gilberts family of companies, including
Rock Ventures, has purchased 15 to 20 build-
ings in the last two years and has brought in
7,500 new employees into the downtown,
Clarke told the Daily Journal.
Midtown Detroit has also attracted new
young professionals to the area who have
caused an increase in demand for housing.
Its a tale of two cities, Clarke said.
While downtown and midtown are boom-
ing, Clarke said, it is the neighborhoods that
have suffered the most.
The city is 173 square miles but downtown
and midtown are only about 7 square miles, he
said.
City services
Police, re, public transportation and other
city services have been stretched to the limit
and are no longer reliable, he said.
There are four people to every one job,
Clarke, 39, said.
One of Clarkes missions while in Detroit
has been to help local companies save on pro-
curement and to maximize their spending. His
goal has been to link buyers with sellers in the
Detroit area to keep the money local. He will
launch a website soon called
www.D2Dbusiness.org to help streamline the
effort.
We want to capture the spend going out-
side the city and keep it here, he said.
While Clarke is set to live in Detroit a while
longer, he is not sure how long hell last in the
long term.
Its cold and the darkness can be a bum-
mer, he said.
Reverse the trend
Wayne State Universitys Detroit
Revitalization Fellows Program aims to
reverse the downward trend in Detroit by
assembling some of the brightest minds in the
country to work and live in the city for at least
two years to help bring it back to life.
Clarkes success the past two years has
helped the universitys program get additional
funding through 2015.
The university is looking to ll another class
of fellows. To apply, visit

PisCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Youre likely to be
popular with friends and relatives, with some even
visiting you unexpectedly. Thankfully, you wont
mind, and will make everyone feel welcome.
aries (March 21-April 19) -- With your curious
mind, not much is likely to escape your attention.
Plus, when you spot something new, youll want to
share it with the whole world.
TaUrUs (April 20-May 20) -- Your best source of
gain is likely to lie in a familiar realm. Instead of
trying to explore a new area, rely on who and what
you know.
GeMini (May 21-June 20) -- Dont hesitate to take
on several assignments simultaneously, even if they
are unrelated to one another. Youll fnd that the
busier you are, the better youre likely to function.
CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- Its best to continue to
keep a secret ambition to yourself. Talking about it
could tip off the competition, and they would steal
your idea without hesitation.
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It isnt likely to be a single
large expenditure that gets you in trouble, but an
accumulation of many small, careless purchases.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Most of the gratifcation
youll experience today will come from situations
in which you use your mental prowess and
resourcefulness to circumvent obstacles.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your intense curiosity
could make certain companions feel uncomfortable
if youre not careful, especially if you question them
about issues that they consider personal.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Youll be so at ease
when it comes to utilizing your attributes properly
that it will take an especially sharp adversary to best
you at anything.
saGiTTariUs (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Although a
strong, independent effort should produce satisfactory
results, youll be even more effective in partnership
arrangements. Team up whenever you can.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Most of the time,
we need some form of material motivation to get us
moving, but not so for you today. What drives you is
your great pride in your work.
aQUariUs (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Although youre
likely to be well organized, this will be true only up to
a point. Youre likely to leave too much of what you
should be taking care of up to chance.

title to the property. You are encouraged
to investigate the existence, priority and
size of outstanding liens that may exist
on this property by contacting the county
recorder's office or a title insurance com-
pany, either of which may charge you a
fee for this information. If you consult ei-
ther of these resources, you should be

By John Rogers
RANCHO PALOS VERDES, Calif. She
was just 16, a shy girl whose life revolved
around school and homework, when the
phone call came that would change her life.
It was Thanksgiving weekend, and Victoria
Hu couldnt wait for her father to return from
a business trip to China. She missed their fam-
ily dinners and even their occasional golf
games, although she never
cared much for the sport.
Soccer was her game.
Still, like her brother, she
enjoyed the time those
outings provided with
their workaholic father.
He had been scheduled
to arrive the day after
Thanksgiving when
Victorias mother got
word of a delay. She did-
nt go into detail but assured her children their
father would be home by Christmas.
A month later, the house trimmed and the
children asking incessantly When is Dad
coming home? Victoria learned the truth.
Her father, a Chinese-American engineer, had
been arrested on charges of stealing Chinese
state secrets. He wouldnt be home that
Christmas, or for many more.
That was in 2008. Today, Hu Zhicheng still
isnt home, thanks to a bizarre set of legal cir-
cumstances that prohibit him from leaving
China even though authorities dropped all
charges.
In Shanghai, he lives life as a free man, able
to do anything except depart the country. Six
thousand miles away in California, his family
remains locked in their own emotional pris-
ons: The wife who was left to raise two chil-
dren alone. The son, just 13 when this started,
who speaks bitterly of missing out on father-
son moments.
And the daughter, who spent years yearning
for her fathers return and now dedicates part
of her life to bringing him home.
I ght because I believe justice will pre-
vail, she has written, because this is the
right thing to do.
Four years ago
Until that call four years ago, Victoria and
her brother, Richard, had grown up as typical
American teenagers. Their days were lled
with school, soccer practices and hanging out
with friends.
Their parents, both born in China, met at
Tianjin University. After earning doctorates in
engineering, the couple moved to the United
States in 1989, where Hu did research at the
Massachuset t s
Institute of
Technology.
Victoria was
born in Boston,
and Richard three
years later in New
Jersey, where the
family moved
after their father
took a job doing
pioneering work
in the develop-
ment of emission-
limiting catalytic
converters for
automobiles.
By 2004 Hu was an internationally recog-
nized expert in the eld, and he decided to
take that expertise back to China. In a place
notorious for its horric smog, he gured to
get in on the ground oor helping create
cleaner-running automobiles.
Hus wife, Hong Li, was leery of the move.
She and her husband had become U.S. citi-
zens, and she worried they were too
Americanized to t in back in China. Whats
more, they no longer had the personal con-
nections, or guanxi as the Chinese call it, so
valuable to doing business there.
But, she adds, I didnt want to be the
(one) who, when the end day comes, he says,
I had a dream and you didnt let me do it.
At rst, things went well. Hu became chief
scientist and president of a company trying to
build top-grade catalytic converters and was
even honored by the province of Jiangsu as
one of its leading innovators. Li started her
own business supplying materials to the com-
pany that employed her husband.
The children were enrolled in school and
began learning about their Chinese heritage.
In summer, Li would bring them back to the
states to attend academic camps and keep up
with English and U.S. culture. In 2007, they
were enrolled in a camp at the University of
California, Los Angeles, when Li got the rst
inkling of trouble.
A business rival had accused her husband of
stealing information and providing it to Lis
company. Police were asking questions. Hu
called his wife in California with a warning:
Dont come back.
Hu soon returned to the U.S., intent on set-
tling in California with his wife and children.
The family found a xer-upper in Rancho
Palos Verdes, a picturesque Los Angeles sub-
urb of rolling hills overlooking the Pacic
Ocean.
But back in China, police wanted to talk
with Hu. His company also wanted him to
continue with his research. And so, in
November 2008, he returned to his native land
for what he thought would be a brief visit.
On Nov. 28, the day he was supposed to y
back to California, Hu was arrested.
Shock
I was ... Its hard to explain, even now. I
was in shock, Victoria says of learning of her
fathers arrest.
For 17 months he was jailed while police
investigated. During that time, he and his fam-
ily say, he was allowed no contact with his
wife or children other than the occasional let-
ter. Victoria did her best to boost his spirits.
Ill be a sunlight that will warm your heart
and Ill be your moonlight guiding you
through the dark, she wrote to him behind
bars.
A soft-spoken woman of 20 now, Victoria
keeps her emotions in check when talking
about her father. But then, as a teenager trying
to nd her way forward, she poured her feel-
ings into letters to him, and even an essay she
wrote for a college application.
The stress hit both my health and my
schoolwork: I was often sleep-deprived,
depressed and irritated, she wrote. I worried
constantly and wondered if he is still alive. ...
Although I reacted initially with anger and
hopelessness, I realized eventually that I
couldnt afford to pity myself. My mom need-
ed my support ...
She never doubted her fathers innocence.
He was an award-winning scientist with near-
ly 50 patents to his name; she knew he didnt
need to steal anybody elses research.
The Chinese eventually found the same. In
April 2010, a Chinese court approved prose-
cutors request to withdraw the case against
Hu because of a lack of evidence. Hu was
released, and made arrangements to leave the
country. But when he got to the airport, he
learned that as soon as the criminal case was
dropped his accuser had filed a patent
infringement lawsuit. The government would-
nt let him depart until that was resolved.
As months turned into years, Hus wife
frantically called the U.S. Embassy in China
and wrote letters to her two senators, her con-
gressman and the White House. As she did so,
it fell on her daughter to sacrice her child-
hood to take care of the family.
She helped me cook dinner. She helped me
take care of her brother, her mother says.
She used her own money she made from
teaching other kids and
bought Richard T-shirts and
books, and she cut his hair.
When Li became ill and
unable to sleep because of the
stress, Victoria cared for her,
too.
At the end of each exhaust-
ing day of schoolwork, cooking, cleaning,
tutoring and preparing for college, the teenag-
er would fall into bed and often cry herself to
sleep.
In the beginning, neither child said much to
friends about their situation. Richard, now 17,
still hasnt, although he says he is starting to
follow his sisters example and open up. He
recently granted an interview to his high
schools yearbook staff.
Its not the most pleasant thing to talk
about, the normally upbeat teenager says
dryly. When he sees friends with their dads he
says he knows hes missing out on father-son
experiences that would seem pretty impor-
tant.
A year ago, with diplomatic efforts to bring
her father home failing, Victoria decided to
take the case to social media.
She posted a petition to Change.org that has
gathered more than 60,000 signatures, and she
started a Facebook page called Help
Victorias Father Dr. Zhicheng Hu Come
Home. The prole picture is a graphic poster
of her dad smiling broadly under the words:
Free Dr. Hu.
She also worked with a friend to create a
web novella in which she recounts a brief visit
to Shanghai in 2010, after her fathers release
from prison. Victoria traveled alone; neither
her brother nor mother has been back to
China. Her mother fears getting trapped there
as well, because her husbands accuser impli-
cated her company. Li even missed her own
mothers funeral.
Victoria, meantime, hasnt seen her father
since that visit.
His hair has grown whiter. He seems frail-
er, she wrote in the novella. But when he
sees me his smile could light up the sky.
Settlement
Last month in Shanghai, the 50-year-old Hu
spoke with the Associated Press about his
case. He said he believes he is being pressured
to make a nancial settlement with his well-
connected business rival.
We still havent heard anything from the
court, he said, adding that under Chinese law
the deadline to bring the lawsuit to trial or dis-
miss it should have passed months ago. Calls
by AP to the Tianjin No. 2 Intermediate
Peoples Court, which has delayed ruling on
Hus case but kept the travel restrictions in
place, rang unanswered last week.
