OBAMA WANTS TO TARGET OIL MARKET MANIPULATION
By Lisa Leff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO The percentage of
non-Californians admitted to University of
California campuses next fall has spiked dra-
matically, ofcials reported Tuesday, meaning
more tuition for the nancially troubled sys-
tem but anxiety for residents who worry they
are being squeezed out of the prestigious
schools.
A record 80,289 students, nearly two-thirds
of the 126,455 students who applied as fresh-
men to a UC school, were accepted at one of
the public systems nine undergraduate cam-
puses, ofcials said.
Of that number, 18,846 students, or more
than 23 percent of the freshmen, are from out-
of-state or abroad and will have to pay nearly
three times more than California residents if
they decide to enroll.
The gures reect a marked increase from
last year, when 18 percent of freshmen admit-
ted were not from California. And its almost
double the percentage of foreign and out-of-
state students who gained admission for fall
2009.
Every campus except Berkeley, where the
number of nonresidents admitted declined
from a year ago, accepted signicantly more
international and out-of-state students for the
fall 2012 term, preliminary data show. At the
same time, four campuses Los Angeles,
Irvine, Merced and Santa Barbara admitted
fewer Californians.
Gov. Jerry Brown said he was disturbed by
the trend, and used it as an opportunity to pro-
mote a November ballot proposition asking
voters to approve a higher sales tax and high-
er income taxes on those making $250,000 a
year or more.
I dont like it at all, Brown told reporters

Out-of-state admissions jump, in-state students worry about being squeezed out

San Francisco Mayor Mayor Ed Lee and San Mateo County ofcials lauded critical work to the Lower Crystal Springs Dam
yesterday that will store billions of gallons of drinking water needed when the next big earthquake strikes the region.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With today marking the anniversary of
the 1906 earthquake and fire that
destroyed much of San Francisco,
Mayor Ed Lee and San Mateo County
officials lauded critical work to the
Lower Crystal Springs Dam yesterday
that will store billions of gallons of
drinking water needed when the next big
earthquake strikes the region.
Recent project completions include
improvements to the San Mateo County
dam, tunnels and pipelines that will pre-
serve the ability for the San Francisco
Public Utilities Commission to deliver
water to its 2.6 million regional cus-
tomers in case of an emergency.
The $4.6 billion bond-funded project
to improve the Hetch Hetchy water sys-
tem should be completed by 2016, said
Ed Harrington, SFPUCs general man-
ager.
After the 1906 earthquake, city of-
cials pushed hard for the building of the
OShaughnessy Dam in the Hetch
Hetchy Valley, which provides water to
most of the Bay Area.
Today marks the 106th anniversary of
Dam work hits milestone

Gov. Brown seeks
to eliminate 718
outdated reports
Administration doesnt know how
much ending reports would save
By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO From kangaroo har-
vests to tire recycling, Gov. Jerry Brown
announced Tuesday that his administration
has uncovered more than 700 unnecessary
state reports.
As part of a cost-cutting review Brown
ordered last year, the governors ofce
released a list of 718 reports it believes are
insignicant and outdated, about half of which must be sub-
mitted to the Legislature. Some of the reports that agencies and
departments have to produce or transmit include an annual
report on the kangaroo harvest in Australia and a monthly
report on response to the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
Under a state law that allows kangaroo skin shoes and other
products into California, the Department of Fish and Game is

his life insurance to nance the construc-
tion of Disneyland.
***

men, boys and girls! Disneyland proudly
presents our spectacular festival pageant of
nighttime magic and imagination. In thou-
sands of sparkling lights, and electro-syn-
the-magnetic musical sounds. Do you

Fatal crash driver granted bail
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
One half of a couple accused of a Peninsula
armed robbery spree last summer settled his
case on a reduced number of charges while his
alleged accomplice failed to appear in court
and risks having a bench warrant issued.
Marc Anthony Jordan, 23, pleaded no con-
test to robbery and admitted it is a serious
felony in return for prosecutors dropping
other charges including burglary and assault
with a deadly weapon. He faces three years in
prison when sentenced May 18.
Melissa Pearlene Butler, 21, was also due in
court at a pretrial conference but did not
appear. Judge Craig Parson took a warrant
under submission if she does not appear at an
April 19 appearance to either settle the case or
conrm her trial date.
Prosecutors say between Aug. 6 and Aug.
10, the pair and a 16-year-old boy, whose
name was withheld because he is a minor,
approached victims with weapons, demanding
money and jewelry. In one case, two of the
suspects robbed a delivery driver returning to
his vehicle. Two days later, a man reported
being assaulted and robbed on South Grant
Street in San Mateo.
Police searching their East Palo Alto homes
reported nding the stolen property, one BB
gun and one real handgun. San Mateo and
Burlingame police believe the defendants may
have committed up to 10 robberies in the area.
Butler is free from custody on $25,000 bail
while Jordan remains held on the same
amount.
Man admits robbery spree, alleged accomplice jumps bail
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A Redwood City man imprisoned for the fatal
crash that killed an 8-year-old girl and severely
injured her sister and mother was granted
$300,000 bail yesterday, offering the chance for
release while the state Attorney Generals Ofce
decides whether to challenge an appellate
courts reversal of his vehicular manslaughter
conviction.
Richard Tom, 50, had been in custody in lieu
of $2 million bond prior to his conviction but his
new defense attorney yesterday sought a reduc-
tion after a judge rst granted bail.
Defense attorney Marc Zilversmit said he
isnt certain if Toms family will be able to post
the bond.
The First District Court
of Appeals reversed Toms
2009 conviction because
prosecutor Shin-Mee
Chang told jurors his failure
to inquire about the well-
being of the other cars
occupants was substantive
evidence of guilt. The
court ruled doing so violat-
ed Toms Fifth Amendment
right of self-incrimination
and called Changs argument highly prejudi-
cial.
The Attorney Generals Ofce has not yet
announced whether it will appeal the courts
decision. If the ofce lets the decision stand, the
San Mateo County District Attorneys Ofce
must then decide whether to retry the case.
Tom was sentenced to seven years in prison
for gross vehicular manslaughter and causing
great bodily injury in the Feb. 19, 2007 crash
that killed Sydney Ng, 8, and left her mother
and 10-year-old sister hospitalized. Prosecutors
said Tom broadsided the Ng familys Nissan
Maxima with his Mercedes Benz as it made its
way across Woodside Road.
Hours after the crash, Toms alcohol level
measured .04 percent. Using scientic rates of
alcohol processing, the prosecution contended
Tom was over the legal limit at the time of the
accident. However, the jury acquitted Tom of
gross vehicular manslaughter due to intoxica-
tion and driving while under the inuence.
During his trial, Tom was originally free from
custody but taken back in when the alcohol-
monitoring bracelet required by his bail indicat-
ed the presence of alcohol.

LOCAL
By Paul Larson

MILLBRAE I
recently attended a
family funeral in
Southern California.
The burial took
place at a long
established Catholic
Cemetery which
later decided to build a Mortuary facility on
their property. I knew from past experience
that this cemetery was well maintained and
had a good reputation. The immediate
family had other loved-ones buried at the
cemetery and wished to return this time too.
With the knowledge that this cemetery had a
Mortuary on the grounds they trusted it to be
convenient and decided to have this facility
handle the funeral arrangements.
Prior to the funeral I had some phone
contact with the Mortuary staff and saw
nothing out of the ordinary. But soon after I
spoke to family members who relayed
troubling details such as higher than average
costs, questionable service and other
apprehensions that raised a red-fag. I
listened carefully taking into consideration
that funerals and arrangements may be
conducted differently in Southern California
(as compared to here on the Peninsula).
Later though I discovered that these
concerns and others were all valid as I
experienced them myself during the funeral.
Coming from the background of owning
a family run and community supportive
funeral home I was embarrassed at what I
saw as a production line process with little
compassion or time to care for the families
this Mortuary is supposed to be serving.
I wondered how the Catholic Church
could allow this Mortuary to operate in such
a manner? Well, I did some research and
discovered that the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles has mortuaries located on a
number of their cemetery properties, but
does not operate them. According to the
Funeral Consumers Alliance of Southern
California the Archdiocese has an
arrangement with Stewart Enterprises
which is a New Orleans based mortuary
corporation. Stewart Enterprises runs a
website called Catholic Mortuaries.com
giving a misleading impression to many that
the Catholic Church operates these facilities.
When patronizing one of these
mortuaries on Catholic cemetery grounds
most families assume that they will be
receiving a level of comfort as they would
from their local church or parish priest.
None of this was evident during my
experience of extremely high costs
(compared to what was received) and the
dis-interested service provided by the
mortuary staff. I dont see this as a failing
of the Catholic cemetery, but of those in
charge of running this mortuary.
The point Im trying to make is to do
your homework and shop for a Funeral
establishment you are comfortable with.
Just because a Mortuary is located on
cemetery property doesnt mean they are
your only choice or that they offer fair costs
or give better quality ofservice. You have
the right to select what ever funeral home
you wish to conduct the arrangements. Talk
to various funeral directors, and ask friends
and families who they would recommend.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Crossing guard jailed
for punching woman
A crossing guard for the San
Mateo-Foster City Elementary
School District
is in jail after
allegedly punch-
ing a woman in
the face in
Hi l l s bor ough
yesterday morn-
ing.
At approxi-
mately 10:38
a . m . ,
Hillsborough police received a call
of an assault and battery in the area
of El Cerrito Avenue and Sierra
Drive. A 53-year-old woman report-
ed she was on a walk and said hello
to a man who was walking in the
creek bed. This man, later identied
as Okaye Gordon, who frequently
walks through Hillsborough report-
edly climbed to the road, approached
the female and said, Im going to
punch you. The woman said she
was then punched in the face by
Gordon, according to police.
Responding officers located
Gordon in the creek area of El
Cerrito Avenue and Sierra Drive.
When asked, Gordon refused to exit
the creek and was then taken into
custody for obstruction of justice
and actively resisting arrest. Further
investigation and confession resulted
in Gordon being arrested for assault
and battery, according to police.
The Hillsborough Police
Department is requesting that any
witnesses to the assault to please
contact them at (650) 375-7470. At
the time of arrest, Gordon was wear-
ing a brown T-shirt and black pants.
He was also carrying a black bag.
Gordon is a 31 year old black male
adult, and is 6 feet tall and 140
pounds, according to police.
NDNU challenges Belmont
residents to clothing drive
The Associated Students of Notre
Dame de Namur University has
challenged Belmont residents to see
who can gather the most clothes for
Kids Closet at Samaritan House of
San Mateo.
Samaritan House is a private non-
prot organization providing servic-
es to help meet the essential daily
needs of more than 12,000 low-
income people in San Mateo County.
For the next two weeks, NDNU stu-
dents, staff and faculty will be urged
to donate clothing to support Kids
Closet, a Samaritan House service
that provides free clothing for chil-
dren from infants to teens.
At a recent meeting of the
Belmont City Council, ASNDNU
President Stephanie Biehl issued a
friendly challenge to the city to
match the NDNU donations. The
goal is to ll at least three barrels
with new or lightly used childrens
clothing. Collection barrels will be
placed on the NDNU campus, at the
lobby of Belmont City Hall and the
Belmont Public library. The clothing
drive is part of a project for
Samaritan House that is being con-
ducted by an NDNU public relations
class studying PR campaigns.
As I told the City Council, for
many of these kids, this is the only
place their parents can go to get
them the clothes they need for
school, said Biehl. We believe this
project is a great way to not only do
some good for our community but
also to further improve relations
between the university and the
Belmont community.

like-minded cities considering regu-
lations on plastic and paper bags are
seeking public input throughout the
Bay Area as part of the required
environmental review process.
The seven public hearings, part of
the comment period of the
Environmental Impact Review
process, will help the jurisdictions
understand how such an ordinance
might affect them as individuals or
businesses. The EIR is needed to
help head off any potential concerns
or lawsuits that have dogged early
efforts by other cities to eliminate
bags.
The Health System anticipates
having an ordinance before the
Board of Supervisors for considera-
tion by October. The ordinance will
ban plastic bags outright and require
all retail stores to charge a minimum
of 10 cents for each paper bag.
Exemptions will be made for restau-
rants and for bags used as protective
layers such as produce bags and
bags to protect meat.
Cities involved in the group EIR
are Belmont, Brisbane, Burlingame,
Campbell, Colma, Cupertino, Daly
City, East Palo Alto, Foster City,
Half Moon Bay, Los Altos, Los
Gatos, Menlo Park, Millbrae,
Milpitas, Mountain View, Pacica,
Portola Valley, Redwood City, San
Bruno, San Carlos, San Mateo,
South San Francisco and Woodside.
According to the countys statis-
tics, 20 billion single-use plastic
grocery bags are used annually in
California and most end up in land-
lls or as litter on land and in water.
A study by the Environmental
Protection Agency found that only
4.3 percent of bags end up recycled
and a single-use paper bag has an
even larger greenhouse gas emission
than a plastic bag.

Hearing times
Working to nd solutions to the
growing enrollment in Foster City
elementary schools starts with creat-
ing a committee, which school of-
cials will do Thursday.
The San Mateo-Foster City School
District, in partnership with Foster
City, is creating the Superintendents
Committee on Overcrowding Relief
(SCORE). The group of parent and
community leaders will work togeth-
er to address student capacity chal-
lenges in Foster City. Previously, the
city and district requested applica-
tions from leaders and residents with
various perspectives to assist the
superintendent in reviewing all possi-
ble solutions to student capacity chal-
lenges; determining the benets,
costs and impact on Foster City; and
prioritizing and recommending the
best solution(s) to the superintendent.
On Thursday, the district will
appoint its members of the group.
The Foster City Council made their
appointments Monday evening
Gary Pollard, Yvonne Ryzak and
Jerry Terstiege.
SCORE shall consist of four parent
leader residents from each Foster
City school and recommended by the
schools principal; one principal from
a San Mateo school recommended by
the superintendent; two Foster City
residents recommended by the Foster
City Chamber of Commerce; three
Foster City residents recommended
by the Foster City Council, one of
whom serves on the Foster City Parks
and Recreation Committee; and three
Foster City residents recommended
by the San Mateo-Foster City School
District Board of Trustees. Meetings
will be held twice a month and will
be open to the public.
The board meets 7 p.m. Thursday,
April 19 at the District Ofce, 1170
Chess Drive, Foster City.
SCORE members to be finalized

If he follows recent tradition, Mitt
Romney will look to his right for a run-
ning mate.
Speculation over a GOP No. 2 has
been percolating for some time and has
been boiling over since Romney on
Monday put longtime adviser Beth
Myers in charge of the selection process.
While Romney insists its way too
early to start talking names, thats not
stopping others.
So far, thereve been a lot of not me
responses, including from Sen. Marco
Rubio of Florida, South Carolina Gov.
Nikki Haley, New Mexico Gov. Susana
Martinez and former Minnesota Gov.
Tim Pawlenty.
But thats par for the course. Joe
Biden and Dick Cheney once said they
had no interest in the job too.
Among those who havent atly ruled
it out: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie,
Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and van-
quished foe Rick Santorum.
Presidential candidates often perform
political as well as geographical balanc-
ing acts in picking running mates, espe-
cially Republicans. And tapping some-
one to his political right might help
Romney a former Massachusetts gov-
ernor win over still-wary conserva-
tive and tea-party factions.

SACRAMENTO The legislative
analysts ofce said Tuesday that the
latest plan to build a $68.4 billion high-
speed rail system linking Northern and
Southern California still relies on high-
ly speculative nancing, and it urged the
state Legislature to reject funding until
more details are ironed out.
The California High-Speed Rail
Authority has not provided sufficient
detail and justification to the
Legislature regarding its plan to build a
high-speed rail system, the LAO said.
Important details regarding the very
recent, significant changes in the scope
and delivery of the project have not
been sorted out.
The latest business plan, released ear-
lier this month, trimmed last years cost
estimate of $98 billion but leaves it well
above the $45 billion estimate given to
voters in 2008 when they approved sell-
ing nearly $10 billion in bonds. The lat-
est proposal for a 520-mile system link-
ing San Francisco-to-Burbank pegs
completion in 2028 and relies exten-
sively on commuter rail lines to cut
costs.
The report notes that the new plan still
anticipates getting at least $42 billion in
federal funding, which it calls highly
speculative. So far, California has been
promised $3.3 billion in federal funds to
start construction in the Central Valley,
but the project also needs financing
from the voter-approved bonds.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama pushed Congress
Tuesday to give oil market regula-
tors more muscle to deter price
manipulation by speculators, the
latest White House response to
determined Republican attacks on
administration energy policies amid
high gas prices at the pump.
Obama wants Congress to
strengthen federal supervision of oil
markets, increase penalties for mar-
ket manipulation and empower reg-
ulators to increase the amount of
money energy traders are required
to put behind their transactions.
We cant afford a situation where
some speculators can reap millions
while millions of American families
get the short end of the stick,
Obama said at the White House.
The plan is more likely to draw
sharp election-year distinctions
with Republicans than have an
immediate effect on prices at the
pump. The measures seek to boost
spending for Wall Street enforce-
ment at a time when congressional
Republicans are seeking to limit the
reach of federal nancial regula-
tions.
The presidents $52 million pro-
posal comes as Republicans have
been hammering Obama on his
energy policies, recognizing the
political cost of high gas prices on
the president.

Committee on Tuesday shows that
GSA executive Jeffrey Neely took

a 17-day trip to Hawaii, Guam and

ing by Inspector General Brian

WASHINGTON U.S. builders
requested the most permits in March
for single-family homes and apart-
ments in 3 1/2 years, suggesting that
many expect the housing market to
improve over the next year.
The Commerce Department said
Tuesday that permits, a gauge of
future construction, rose 4.5 percent
to a seasonally adjusted annual rate
of 747,000 in March. Thats the
highest level since
September 2008.
The rise in per-
mits helped offset
a slower month of construction.
Jonathan Basile, director of eco-
nomics at Credit Suisse, said more
permits is a good sign for broader
economic activity and should lead
to increase in construction in the
coming months.
Builders broke ground at a sea-
sonally adjusted annual pace of
654,000 homes last month. Thats
down 5.8 percent from February.
Apartment construction, which can
fluctuate sharply from month to
month, fell nearly 20 percent.

Legislation to create statewide

Democrats supporting the bill.
There is no doubt that an indus-
try exits around medical cannabis,

Police handcuff Georgia kindergartner for tantrum
ATLANTA, Ga. Police in Georgia handcuffed a kinder-
gartner with her arms behind her back after the girl threw a
tantrum and the police chief defended the action as a safety
measure.
The girls family demanded Tuesday that their central
Georgia city change policy so that other children arent treated
the same way. They say the child was shaken up by the ordeal.
While its unusual to see a young child handcuffed in school,
its not unheard of. School ofcials around the nation have
wrestled with the issue of when its appropriate to call police
on a student.
Salecia Johnson, 6, was accused of tearing items off the
walls and throwing books and toys in an outburst Friday at
Creekside Elementary School in Milledgeville, according to a
police report.
Police said a small shelf thrown by the child struck the prin-
cipal in the leg during the fracas. The child also jumped on a
paper shredder and tried to break a glass frame, the police
report states.

BEIRUT Artillery shatters homes in
opposition areas. Regime tanks roll
though city centers. Civilians dig graves
for dozens of corpses, scrawling their
names on headstones with black markers.
Six days on, this is the cease-re in
Syria.
But U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon and others
stand by the U.N.-negotiated truce, saying
the violence is sporadic and that President
Bashar Assads regime has lessened its
assaults. Even with dozens reported dead
over the past two days, the world powers
struggling to stop Syrias bloodshed are
reluctant to declare the cease-re dead.
That process needs to play itself out
before we judge it a success or a failure,
White House
spokesman Jay
Carney said.
Ban, speaking in
Luxembourg, said
there has been spo-
radic violence taking
place, but we think
that the overall cessa-
tion of violence has
been generally
observed.
In somewhat more critical comments of
the Syrian regime, British Foreign
Secretary William Hague said Assads
forces have complied with the cease-re
in the most grudging way possible and
not yet met all of its terms.
Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the
United Nations, said the situation is not
improving. The violence is continuing, the
bombardments, particularly in Homs,
seem to be increasing, and the conditions
that one would want and need to see for
the effective deployment of the balance of
the monitors are not at present in place.
Nevertheless, Rice called the U.N. plan
perhaps the best and potentially the last
best effort to resolve the situation through
peaceful diplomatic means.
It may be impossible to do so, Rice
acknowledged. It may be that the gov-
ernments logic is that it will continue the
use of violence despite its repeated com-
mitments as long as it can get away with
it.
But a lack of alternatives exist for calm-
ing Syrias 13-month-old crisis. The U.N.
said recently that more than 9,000 people
have been killed in the conict since
March 2011, and the death toll has risen
daily since then.

WASHINGTON The Secret
Service prostitution scandal escalated
Tuesday with the disclosure that at least
20 women had been in hotel rooms with
U.S. agents and military personnel just
before President Barack Obama arrived
for a summit with Latin American lead-
ers. The head of the Secret Service said
he had referred the matter to an inde-
pendent government investigator.
Secret Service Director Mark
Sullivan, shuttling between briengs for
lawmakers on Capitol Hill, was pep-
pered with questions about whether the
women had access to sensitive informa-
tion that could have jeopardized
Obamas security.
Sullivan said the 11 Secret Service
agents and 10 military personnel under
investigation were telling different sto-
ries about who the women were.
Sullivan has dispatched more investiga-
tors to Colombia to interview the
women, said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y.,
chairman of the House Homeland
Security Committee.
Some are admitting (the women)
were prostitutes, others are saying
theyre not, theyre just women they met
at the hotel bar, King said in a tele-
phone interview. Sullivan said none of
the women, who had to surrender their
IDs at the hotel, were minors. But pros-
titutes or not, to be bringing a foreign
national back into a secure zone is a
problem.
King said it appeared the agency actu-
ally had really lucked out. If the
women were working for a terrorist
organization or other anti-American
group, King said, they could have had
access to information about the presi-
dents whereabouts or security protocols
while in the agents rooms.

Sequoias services
Editor,
In the last four years, Sequoia
Healthcare District received $33.3 mil-
lion in property tax but returned 10 per-
cent more than that $36.6 million
to our community in grants and pro-
grams. The district has used no proper-
ty tax income for administration, nor
has it added to reserves.
Most of the money spent has been
targeted to help the poor, uninsured and
those with the greatest health care
needs, but we also have been a signi-
cant funding partner to San Mateo
Medical Center, Samaritan House,
Ravenswood Health Center, eight pub-
lic school districts and more than 50
nonprot health care organizations that
provide direct services to residents.
I am not aware of any other govern-
ment agency that returns all of its prop-
erty tax income and more back to
the community in terms of services and
does not use a penny of tax funds for
overhead, a fact I feel compelled to
point out because it has not been
reported in the current debate in
Sacramento over the future of health
care districts.

returned for every tax dollar collected.

where the spin continued. See:

Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-

issue. As stated in the April 17 Daily
Journal article, Curing what ails health
care districts: Gordons bill would
mandate that districts disclose explicit
information on the share of district
resources used for actual health care
services and those used for administra-
tion needs.
For the Sequoia Healthcare District,
those resources include current proper-
ty taxes (approximately $8 million a
year), prot sharing from Sequoia
Hospital ($2.142 million in 2008-09,
$6.272 million for 2009-10, $2.3 mil-
lion for 2010-11 and $2.158 million for
2011-12), and accumulated funds
(approximately $19 million). These are
all assets derived from property taxes.
What is the overhead for the annu-
al distribution of these assets?

Letters to the editor
F
or years, there have been small
circles of discussion about the
countys two health care dis-
tricts and the services they provide
since their roles have evolved and they
no longer t the description upon which
they were founded. Neither Sequoia
Healthcare District nor the Peninsula
Health Care District oversee the opera-
tions of a hospital, and havent for
years.
Yet they both collect taxes and have
elected boards to determine what the
best use of that money is.
In the meantime, the countys Health
System, specically the San Mateo
Medical Center, is the place of last
resort for indigent care and has the bur-
den placed upon it to fund services for
those who have nowhere else to turn.
Originally, the districts were founded
to ensure that there were health services
provided for their respective districts.
Sequoia is based in Redwood City and
Peninsula is based in Burlingame. That
mission changed over time with the
advent of managed health care and pri-
vate nonprot health care companies.
Sequoia Healthcare District provided
approximately $75 million to Catholic
Healthcare West for the construction of
the new Sequoia Hospital between
2007 and 2010 and the Peninsula
Healthcare Districts lease deal with
Sutter Health is causing its board to
accumulate its money in case Sutter
ever defaults on the new facility in
Burlingame. Both decisions were large-
ly supported by the community and
credit must be given for the time and
effort it took to get two new state-of-
the-art facilities.
Once their respective medical facili-
ties were turned over to private non-
prot health care providers, their mis-
sion changed. Now, both must deter-
mine where their money goes and for
what purpose essentially acting like
a health care foundation for the com-
munity.
Few argue with the good their mil-
lions in grants do every year but there
are lingering questions about the best
use of the money.
In 2010 numbers, Sequoia had
approximately $19 million in assets,
collected $7 million in taxes and award-
ed $8 million in grants. Peninsula
Health Care District had $46 million in
reserves, collected approximately $4
million in taxes and granted $2 million.
The grants go to worthwhile organiza-
tions that provide a variety of services
to the people in those districts.
On the surface, it would appear that
Sequoia is more generous with its
money but Peninsula worked its deal
with Sutter that the new Burlingame
facility would be paid for with no tax-
payer expense. However, Assemblyman
Rich Gordon, D-Menlo Park, takes
issue with the need to stockpile money
for an undened need decades into the
future. When he was on the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors, Gordon
wondered why the county was paying
for indigent care when there were two
health care districts formed to meet that
need.
It is a complicated issue and Gordon
took an initial step with his legislation
that districts disclose explicit informa-
tion on the share of district resources
used for actual health care services and
those used for administration needs.
This is a small restriction on the actions
of such districts and can be seen as
merely a small step, but it is an impor-
tant one to determine their future path.
There are additional questions that
could be asked. Is it best for the elected
members of a district board to deter-
mine the needs of the community it
serves? Should either district provide
more money to the county for indigent
care? Should the Peninsula Health Care
District board consider a more creative
use of its reserves possibly a land or
facility purchase for county use that
could collateral for whatever future s-
cal responsibility it might encounter?
We would support a creative use of the
money that would create a greater good
than merely sitting in reserves, but it is
ultimately up to the residents within the
district to make their preference known.
For now, the elected leadership in both
districts are merely doing what they
feel is best for the community.
Either way, this recent discussion and
Gordons legislative interest is another
chapter in a much-needed public con-
versation on the role of such districts in
our community and how we as a collec-
tive people determine how health care
needs are paid for. As this conversation
continues, perhaps there will be more
thought put into that stockpile and how
it might be better used.
The evolving role of health care districts
Reckless abandon?
A
mericas public schools are becoming lucrative
private sector markets as education is har-
nessed to the immediate and self-interested
needs of industry and learning is increasingly regimented
and standardized. Joel Bakan, Childhood Under
Siege.
When I think about
Republican legislators who
signed a pledge to refuse to
vote for any increase in taxes,
the thing that bothers me
most is the effect on educa-
tion. Im sure there is much
Im not aware of when it
comes to the hassle that is the
result of the Republican leg-
islators refusing to even con-
sider raising taxes on even
the wealthy so necessary pro-
grams to improve (or even
maintain) our schools can be
implemented. But I do know
that California ranks 47th
among the states in per pupil spending and has the largest
class sizes in the nation.
Ive read much about the problem and I watch the news
and some related talk shows on television. And what comes
through is that there are a bunch of Republican politicians
(state and national) who are hell-bent on taking this country
down the drain because they are completely unable to see
beyond their own self-centered goals and relate to the needs
of the nation. And then there are the Democrats who appar-
ently have been unable to face reality and come up with a
way to counteract the concerted effort by the Republicans to
drag our country down the tubes because of the failure to
provide needed services.
This all came to mind when I read a report in this news-
paper titled, Education linked to security, economy. Task
force: U.S. faces critical shortfalls if schools dont
improve. According to the report, The task force said the
State Department and U.S. intelligence agencies face critical
shortfalls in foreign language speakers, and elds such as
science, defense and aerospace are at particular risk because
a shortage of skilled workers is expected to worsen as baby
boomers retire. And, About 30 percent of high school
graduates dont do well enough in math, science and
English on an aptitude test to serve in the military.
There is nothing more important for the future of any
country than the quality and availability of education. Yet
recalcitrant legislators allow many teachers to be laid off,
schedules to be cut back, programs to be slashed, class sizes
to increase. Even attending community college has become
a terric nancial burden for many and the fees of state col-
leges, if they havent caused many students to go into seri-
ous debt, prevent many from attending altogether. As for
help with college tuition, are all Republicans like the
detached and illusory Mitt Romney who basically believes
that youre on your own and good luck?
So what could such Republicans be thinking when it
comes to education? Are they out to let the public schools
fall apart so they can cater to private schools and charter
schools that mainly the upper class can attend? Are they
worried that if children attend quality public schools where
they are encouraged to think independently that all hell
would break loose? Can they even imagine a scenario in
which the public schools would be left with mostly under-
privileged kids who are often difcult to teach? According
to Robert Reich (Chronicle 4/1/12), in writing of our
Republican legislators: Their strategy has been to demo-
nize government and try to privatize everything that might
otherwise become a public program nanced by tax dol-
lars.
How can this nation be the greatest country in the world
(as were often reminded) when not all of our youth have
the opportunity to get a quality education? Add the facts
that not everyone has access to health care, our infrastruc-
ture is falling apart, our prisons are lled to overowing and
so many of our legislators minds are completely closed,
even to Warren Buffets proposal to increase taxes on the
incomes of those who bring in more than $1 million.
I dread to think what kind of country our grandchildren
will be living in, say, 2040. How much more will our nation
become divided between the haves and the have-nots? Will
these kids become part of a small controlling class or be rel-
egated to a large proletariat who will have to dance to the
tune of those who could care less about anything but their
positions of power and their bank accounts and stock hold-
ings?
Paul Krugman, in his March 9 New York Times column
tells it like it is: Whenever you hear Republicans say that
they are a party of traditional values, bear in mind that they

Stocks jumped higher Tuesday after
promising signals about the protability
of U.S. companies and a strong debt auc-
tion by Spain. The Dow Jones industrial
average rose for the fourth day in ve
and posted its biggest gain in a month.
European stocks had their best day in
four months after Spain, the latest ash-
point in the European debt crisis, attract-
ed strong investor interest at an auction
of two-year debt.
Spains borrowing costs fell, as meas-
ured by the yields on Spanish bonds
being traded in the market. In recent
days, those yields had risen closer to lev-
els that might force Spain to seek an
international bailout.
Theres no doubt that gave the market
a second wind, Anthony Chan, chief
economist with J.P. Morgan Private
Wealth management, said of the debt
auction. The market is reassessing and
feeling a little better.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed up 194.13 points, or 1.5 percent,
at 13,115.54. It was up as much as 210
points Tuesday afternoon. The Dow has
had only one 200-point rise this year, a
gain of 218 points on March 13.
First-quarter results have begun to
pour in from companies, and traders
have been impressed so far. On Tuesday,
Coca-Cola said its rst-quarter prot
was better than Wall Street analysts had
forecast. Goldman Sachs and Johnson &
Johnson also posted strong results.
This earnings season, expectations
were low, and its going to be easy to
beat that, said Doreen Mogavero, a
oor broker at the New York Stock
Exchange and founder and CEO of
Mogavero Lee & Co. Inc., a small bro-
kerage of stocks for institutional clients.
After nine straight quarters of growth,
earnings for companies in the S&P 500
index were expected to be roughly at
for the rst quarter. The slowdown was
expected because of global threats from
Europe and China and the difculty of
beating double-digit gains in recent
quarters.
They talked earnings down for three
weeks ahead of the announcements,
agreed Kenneth Polcari, a floor broker
and managing director with the giant
brokerage ICAP Equities. Theyve
lowered the bar so much that when the
announcements come in, its like,
Look how good everyone is doing, he
said.

Big movers

SAN FRANCISCO Oracle CEO
Larry Ellison wanted to compete against
Googles Android software in the smart-
phone market before deciding instead to
sue his potential rival for copyright and
patent infringement.
Ellison acknowledged Oracles inter-
est in diversifying beyond its main busi-
ness of database software while testify-
ing Tuesday on the second day of a trial
pitting two high-tech bellwethers.
Before backing off the idea, Ellison
said Oracle considered buying a smart-
phone maker, including Palm Inc. and
BlackBerry maker Research in Motion
Ltd. Palm ended up getting sold to
Hewlett-Packard Co. for about $1 billion
two years ago, while RIM is trying to
recover from huge losses that have piled
up as the BlackBerry got battered by
Apple Inc.s iPhone and handsets run-
ning on Android.
I had an idea that we could enter the
smartphone business and compete with
everyone in the smartphone business,
Ellison testied under questioning from
a Google lawyer. It was an idea I want-
ed to explore. We explored it and decid-
ed it was a bad idea.
Ellison, a colorful CEO who ranks
among the worlds richest people, took
the stand after Google sought in opening
statements to frame the case as Oracles
response to its own failure to build
mobile software.
Google CEO Larry Page also took the
stand toward the end of Tuesdays ses-
sion. The trial was expected to last up to
10 weeks.
The dispute before a 12-person jury in
U.S. District Court in San Francisco is
over whether Google built its widely
used Android software by improperly
taking some of the technology from
Java, a programming platform that Sun
Microsystems began developing 20
years ago. Oracle acquired the rights to
Java when it bought Sun for $7.3 billion
in January 2010.
Oracle CEO mulled making smartphones
Jan. 27, 2010: Oracle closes deal to buy Sun
Microsystems and gets the Java computer
programming language and related
technology that is central to the lawsuit.
Aug.12:Oracle sues Google in U.S.District Court
in San Francisco. Oracle says Googles Android
system for mobile phones infringes on its
patented Java technology.
Sept.12,2011:The CEOs of both companies are
ordered to attend a court-supervised attempt
to settle a lawsuit.The attend sessions on Sept.
19 and 21 with no settlement reached.
March 27, 2012: In a joint statement, the two
companies indicate they are far apart of key
matters.Oracle is seeking hundreds of millions
in damages,while Google believes it wont have
to pay more than a few million dollars.
Monday: Trial begins. In opening statements,
Oracle says Googles top executives have long
known that they stole a key piece of technology
to build Android.
Tuesday: Googles opening statements frame
the case as Oracles response to its own failure
to build mobile software. Oracle CEO Larry
Ellison admits under questioning by Google
that Oracle wanted to compete with Android
before deciding instead to sue Google.Google
CEO Larry Page also takes the stand.
Case timeline

NEW YORK Citigroup has become
the first Wall Street bank to get a
thumbs-down from shareholders over
outsized executive pay.
At its annual meeting Tuesday, 55 per-
cent of the banks shareholders voted
against the pay packages that have been
granted to Citigroups top executives,
including CEO Vikram Pandits $15 mil-
lion for last year and $10 million reten-
tion pay. The vote is advisory and wont
force the bank to change its pay prac-
tices, but it did send a powerful message
of discontent to Citis leadership.
This vote is historic, said Eleanor
Bloxham, CEO of The Value Alliance, a
board advisory rm. None of the Wall
Street rms have received this kind of a
review yet. Wall Streets massive com-
pensation packages have raised the ire of
shareholders for years, especially when
they appear to have little relation to the
performance of specific executives.
Bonuses became a ashpoint of public
outrage after the 2008 nancial melt-
down, which was caused in large part by
those same Wall Street rms.
Yahoos 1Q earnings rise 28
percent to top Street view
SAN FRANCISCO Yahoos rst-
quarter results showed signs of modest
progress under recently hired CEO Scott
Thompson.
The long-struggling Internet company
said Tuesday that it earned $286 million,
or 23 cents per share, during the rst
three months of the year.
That represented a 28 percent increase
from net income of $223 million, or 17
cents per share, at the same time last
year.
The earnings for this years quarter
exceeded the average estimate of 17
cents per share among analysts surveyed
by FactSet.
Revenue totaled $1.22 billion, an
increase of less than 1 percent from the
same time last year. Still, that slight
uptick represented a breakthrough for
Yahoo because the companys revenue
has been steadily falling for years.
Intel 1Q earnings fall
13 percent, revenue steady
NEW YORK First-quarter earnings
at Intel Corp. fell 13 percent as spending
on research and marketing rose while
revenue was at, the worlds largest
chipmaker said Tuesday.
The results beat analyst expectations,
but failed to sustain Intels stock, which
hit a seven-year high of $28.78 in regu-
lar trading. In extended trading, after the
release of the results, the shares fell 68
cents, or 2.4 percent from the close to
$27.79.
Intels rst-quarter net income was
$2.74 billion, or 53 cents per share,
down from $3.16 billion, or 56 cents per
share, a year earlier.
Analysts polled by FactSet were
expecting earnings of 50 cents per share.
Revenue was at at $12.9 billion.
Analysts were expecting $12.8 billion.

EARLY RUNS PROPEL GIANTS: SAN FRANCISCO JUMPED OUT TO 2-0 LEAD IN FIRST ON WAY TO 4-2 WIN OVER PHILLY>>> PAGE 13
Matt Ballard, Half Moon Bay football coach
and athletic director, released an email state-
ment Tuesday night saying he was stepping
down from both positions to take over the foot-
ball program at Redondo Union High in
Southern California.
I have just made one of the most difcult
decisions in my life, and I cannot stress that
point enough, Ballard said in the email. It has
taken me several weeks to reach this decision,
and it was not easily made.
There was no indication
in the email who would be
replacing Ballard as the
head coach for the Cougars.
Ballard, a 1992 graduate
of Half Moon Bay, took
over the Cougars football
program in 2002. Over the
last 10 years, Ballard has
led the Cougars to a
Peninsula Athletic League record of 36-25-1,
winning Ocean Division titles in 2005 and last
season. Overall, his compiled a mark of 57-48-
1, winning the 2005 Central Coast Section
Small School championship, beating Seaside
14-6.
I am not leaving because I am unhappy,
Ballard said in the email. Quite the contrary, I
have been most happy here. HMBHS has given
me the opportunity to create a good program
with awesome people, experiment with my
teaching and coaching styles, and build a solid
foundation with wonderful people. It is the
coastside kids and people that make leaving so
difcult.
Redondo Union went 5-6 last season and is
21-14 in league play and 37-40 overall since
2005.
This opportunity came rather unexpectedly,
and I have had to do considerable reection and
self evaluation, Ballard said. I have decided
that this opportunity gives me the chance to test
myself and grow as a coach and educator.
Ive loved coaching football here, and I will
always be a Cougar at heart.

When the Sequoia baseball team pushed
across the go-ahead run in the top of the eighth
inning, it appeared the Cherokees had scored
the run that would end an electrifying game.
It turned out to be little more than a speed
bump in a game that last three hours. Mills
tied the game with two outs in the bottom of
the eighth and then four innings later, the
Vikings scored an unearned run to pull out a 3-
2 win in 12 innings.
Mills manager Tony Adornetto said his team
has been in a number of close games this sea-
son, dropping one-run decisions to both
Aragon and Woodside.
I expect every game is going to be like
[this], Adornetto said. Its unfortunate it had
to end on an error. We made our share of mis-
takes. Luckily it didnt hurt us too much.
Both teams had their chances in extra
innings, but time and again, pitching and
defense got them out of jams. In the top of the
12th, Sequoia (3-2 PAL Ocean, 7-6-1 overall)
had Matt Elliott in scoring position at second
base with two outs, but the Cherokees could
not come up with clutch hit as Mills relief
pitcher Sereno Esponilla got the third out on a
called third strike.
In the bottom of the 12th, Aram
Moshkounian drew a walk on a 3-2 pitch and
moved to second on a wild pitch. Bryan
Hidalgo then hit a sharp grounder to shortstop
that went between his legs and trickled into
shallow left eld. The Sequoia left elder hus-
tled to the ball and with Moshkounian heading
home, sent a throw to the plate that beat
Moshkounian. Moshkounian slid into the
Sequoia catcher, who couldnt hold onto the
ball. The home plate umpire did not make an
initial signal, but when his teammates told
Moshkounian to touch the plate, the umpire
signaled safe, ending the marathon.
Despite the loss, Sequoia manager Corey
Uhalde was proud of the way his team played.
There were certainly frustrating moments,

In only his rst season at the varsity level,
Burlingames Scott Taggart has made quite a
name for himself.
Despite his status as a freshman, head coach
Bill Smith did not hesitate to put the youngster
into the No. 1 singles slot to begin the Peninsula
Athletic League season.
And Taggart has rewarded his coach with play
usually reserved for players with far more expe-
rience.
Hes a really good tournament player, Smith
said. And hes stepped right into our No. 1 spot.
Hes got the body for tennis. Im expecting big
things from him.
Taggart took a huge step into further solidify-
ing himself as one of the areas budding tennis
superstars.
Taggart defeated Menlo-Athertons Nick Fratt
6-2, 2-6, 10-8 in Burlingames lone win of the
afternoon. He followed that performance with
his biggest win of the year, at least on paper,
against Carlmonts Corey Pang 6-7 (4), 6-2, 7-6
(1).
For his efforts, Taggart is the San Mateo Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.
Taggarts win against Pang was huge consid-
ering that his lone loss in PAL play this season
came at the hands of arguably the best player
San Mateo county has to offer.
In that affair, Pang overwhelmed Taggart 6-0,
6-0.
But in a display of his competitive nature, the
second time around was a completely different
story.
Admittedly, Pang probably did not have his A
game in their last matchup. Still, as a freshman,
a win against a player of Pangs caliber only
boosted Taggarts condence. He followed that
win with a 6-2, 6-0 win in his matchup against
San Mateo on Tuesday.
In losing that rst set, he didnt panic, Smith
said of Taggarts win against Pang. He was able
to discern that what he was doing was working.
So, he didnt have to do too much and made cer-
tain tweaks. It wasnt a lot, just a thing of two.
Taggarts adjustments work. He took the sec-
ond set 6-2 and went toe to toe in the third set
and came out on top.
Those two guys have been cruising all season
long, Smith said, and if anything [the win]
establishes Scott as at least the second best play-
er in the PAL.

The sudden gust of wind San Mateans felt
Tuesday evening originating from 20th Avenue
and Stratford Way wasnt Mother Nature it
was in fact, a collective sigh of relief.
And the man responsible for getting Serra
High school baseball off the proverbial
schneid is Daniel Strupeni.
It was No. 22s single in the bottom of the
seventh that brought in the game-winning run
and gave the Padres a 6-5 victory over
Bellarmine College Prep.
Up until then, Serra was 0 for 5 in West
Catholic Athletic League games this season.
We needed that hit, said Serra head coach
Craig Gianinno. It was nice to nally be in a
position where we could get the hit that we
needed.
Strupenis single to right center eld scored
Conor Cakebread from third with one out and
it cleared the Serra bench as the Padres rushed
Strupeni out in center eld to celebrate.
Perhaps the hoopla may seem like too much
for some, but when your season has gone like
Serras, wins like the one on Tuesday should
be celebrated.
We deserved that, Gianinno said. We
overcame a lot of adversity in this game.
Indeed they did. Serra squandered a 4-1 lead
and actually fell behind in the top of the sev-
enth when Raul Ray singled home the go-
ahead run. And with three of Serras ve
league losses coming in one-run affairs, it
appeared the Padres were in line to lose anoth-
er heartbreaker.
Theres denitely been a lot of disappoint-
ment, said Strupeni of his teams recent run of
play. Weve been getting the chances, we just
havent been able to come up with the big hit.
Serra had plenty of opportunities Tuesday to
put some serious distance between them and

The College of San Mateo softball team
clinched at least a share of the Coast Conference
championship with a 7-0 win over Mission
College Tuesday afternoon in Santa Clara.
With two regular-season games remaining,
the Bulldogs hold a two-game lead over nine-
time conference champ Ohlone-Fremont in the
race for the Coast Conference crown and will
face the Renegades in the season nale next
Tuesday. CSM sits at 15-1 in conference play,
while Ohlone is 13-3.
Yesterdays win extended CSMs winning
streak to 19 straight and at 35-3, the Bulldogs
own the best record in the state. Pitcher Michele
Pilster picked up her 25th win of the season
which is tied for the state lead in wins. She
pitched six innings, allowing only one hit and
striking out a dozen. Amelia Shales pitched the
nal inning.
The offense was paced by a host of Bulldogs.
Lindsay Handy, Selina Rodriguez, Vika Kafoa
and Mikayla Conlin each had a pair of hits, with
Rodriguez blasting two doubles. Handy also had
a double to go along with two RBI, while Kafoa
and Conlin each drove in a run.
Leadoff hitter Jamie Navarro scored twice to
bring her runs scored total to 44, second-best in
Northern California.
College baseball
CSM had one of its worst efforts of the sea-
son, falling to West Valley 14-5.
Starting pitcher Clay Bauer lasted only 2 1/3
innings, giving up seven runs on six hits. The
relief corps wasnt much better, as four of the
nal ve pitchers also allowed at least one run.
West Valley (14-5 Coast Conference, 19-13
overall) scored three runs in the top of the rst,
but CSM countered with a trio of runs of its own
in the bottom half of the frame. But West
Valleys four-run third sent it on its way to the
win.
Cody Zimmerman, Trevin Craig, Nick
Davenport and Mike Kathan all had two hits for
CSM (15-3, 23-9), while Brandon Defazio,
Zimmerman, Jarrett Costa and Davenport each
drove in a run for the Bulldogs.

Menlo-Atherton captured its fourth straight
PAL Bay Division title with a 7-0 win over El
Camino Tuesday.
With two just regular-season matches left, the
Bears are a perfect 12-0 in Bay Division play
thus far. Aragon and Carlmont each have three
league losses.
The Bears did not lose a set in beating the
Colts and lost a total of 15 games over seven
matches.
Aragon 6, Woodside 1
The Dons only loss came at No. 1 singles, but
they dominated everywhere else as they move
closer to grabbing the No. 1 seed in the PAL
playoffs, which begin Wednesday.
Depending on how Carlmont nishes, the
Dons are all but assured one of the top two spots
in the league team tournament. The top seed will
face the Ocean Division winner, while the No. 2
seed will take on No. 3 Burlingame. The winner
of the PAL tournament earns the leagues sec-
ond automatic bid to the Central Coast Section
tournament. Regular-season champ Menlo-
Atherton clinched the rst automatic berth and
do not play in the league tournament.
Aragon (10-3 PAL Bay, 12-6 overall) won ve
of its six matches in straight sets.
Softball
Menlo-Atherton evened its Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division record at 3-3
following a 4-0 shutout win over South City
Tuesday.
M-A (3-3 PAL Ocean, 10-8 overall) scored
a pair of runs in the fourth and sixth innings.
Shannon Aguiar drove in three of the four
runs, with Emily Katz picking up the fourth
with a RBI single in the fourth.
Pitcher Katie Vallarino pitched her rst
shutout of the season, giving up only four hits
and allowing only one runner to reach third
base.
Baseball
David Karditzas, Ryan Mohr and Andrew
Pelzl each drove in three runs as South City
crushed Jefferson 18-0 in PAL Ocean
Division action Tuesday afternoon.
Joe Marcucci picked up the win on the
mound, pitching six innings of one-hit ball.
The win improved the Warriors record to 3-
4 in Ocean Division play, while the Indians
remain winless.

SAN FRANCISCO Madison Bumgarner
backed up his nice new contract with a second
straight win, Melky Cabrera hit an RBI triple,
and the San Francisco Giants beat the
Philadelphia Phillies 4-2 on Tuesday night.
Nate Schierholtz had three hits and drove in
a run and Pablo Sandoval doubled leading off
the fth to extend his hitting streak to start the
season to 11 games.
Bumgarner (2-1), pitching a day after
receiving a new $35.56 million, six-year con-
tract, outpitched Joe Blanton (1-2) and gave
San Francisco a shot at a third straight series
victory.
The nale Wednesday night for an expected
sellout at AT&T Park is another highly antici-
pated pitching matchup: San Franciscos Matt
Cain and Phillies ace Cliff
Lee.
Hunter Pence hit a solo
home run into the left-eld
bleachers leading off the
fourth for the Phillies a
clout that didnt come
close to traveling as far as
the one he clobbered in
batting practice that
cleared the top railing in
left and reached the concourse and base of the
humongous Coke bottle.
Buster Posey had three hits for the second
straight day and also checked off another
milestone in his return from last years sea-
son-ending left leg and ankle injury from a
collision at the plate with the Marlins Scott
Cousins. Posey had back-to-back three-hit

2010, against Arizona during his NL Rookie

Its hard to argue against that. As mentioned,
Taggart has only lost once. Hes taken down the
likes of James Tanjuatco, Rahul Joshi, Shep
Newcomb.
Hes easily coachable, Smith said. Its not
often you get a player like Scott who can make
strategic changes during the match. Other players
will only say, I know but dont know how to
correct themselves. He can be very tactical.
Hes got a good serve and it can be great. As
he matures, itll denitely be a strength, Smith
said.
Before that match with Pang, Taggart showed
a bit of moxie in his win against Fratt.
That was a struggle, Smith said. It wasnt
one of his best.
Taggart took the rst set on a foreign court 6-2
before the elements played a bit of a factor,
according to Smith. Fratt fought back to win the
second set which set up the super tiebreaker.
Taggart utilized his ability to cover a lot of
ground, and a mixture of specialty shots to come
away with the 10-8 win. It was the lone highlight
of the afternoon for Burlingame, but it was
indeed a bright one bright like Taggarts future
as a Burlingame Panther.

Burlingame freshman Scott Taggart has lost
only once in PAL play at the No. 1 singles
position this season.

but the key was we battled, Uhalde said.
There was never a point where they werent
in this game. For me, that overshadows the
execution.
The two teams combined for ve runs on 13
total hits, all singles.
By the time Moshkounian scored, it over-
shadowed tremendous starting pitching per-
formances from Mills Joey Carney and
Sequoias Jake Mauldin. Both pitchers gave
up runs in the rst inning, but that would be all
the scoring until the eighth inning.
Carney walked Mauldin to lead off the game
before retiring the next 15 batters he faced. He
had a no-hitter through ve innings, but Elliott
broke that up with a single up the middle on an
0-2 count. It was the rst real trouble Carney
found himself in the game and he escaped
unscathed. Elliott took second on an errant
pickoff attempt and took went to third on a
groundout. With Mauldin at the plate, the
Cherokees attempted a squeeze bunt, but
Mauldin was hit by the pitch, which forced
Elliott back to third base. Mauldin promptly
stole second with Elliott attempting to score
on a delayed double steal, but he was cut down
at the plate on a perfect throw from shortstop
Esponilla for the second out of the inning.
Mauldin went to third on the play and then
tried to steal home, but was thrown out at the
plate.
Carney worked into the ninth inning, allow-
ing just one earned run on just ve hits.
Mauldin was even more impressive. He also
allowed only ve hits in eight innings of work,
striking out 11 in the process.
We were off balance all day, Adornetto
said.
Mauldin also faced some adversity and he
too got through with ying colors. With the
scored tied at 1 in the bottom of the fth, Mills
loaded the bases with no outs, on a pair of sin-
gles and a elders choice. Mauldin struck out
the next two batters and got a groundout to get
out of the jam and end the inning.
Sequoia reliever Cameron Greenough faced
a similar situation in the ninth inning and he
too got out of the inning without allowing the
winning run.
Weve been carried by our pitching all
year. Our team ERA is well under 2 (runs per
game), Uhalde said. We play a lot of 2-1
games and I thought that would be enough
(Tuesday).
Although the run Greenough allowed was
unearned, it was the rst run of any kind hes
allowed in 15 innings of work this season.
Sequoia wasted little time in taking a 1-0
lead. Mauldin walked to lead off the game,
went to second on a groundout, took third on
a passed ball and scored on Carl
Wassermanns ground out RBI. Mills came
right back to tie the game in the bottom of the
inning. Esponilla led off with an ineld hit and
went to second on an error. Moshkounians
sacrice bunt moved Esponilla to third and he
scored on Hidalgos groundout.
The Cherokees went back ahead 2-1 by
scratching a run across in the top of the eighth.
Ryan Perkins singled and went to second on
an errant pickoff attempt. Oliver Contento put
down a sacrice bunt to move Perkins to third
and he scored on Elliotts opposite-eld are
single to right.
The Vikings tied the game in the bottom of
the inning, with Hidalgo again driving in the
tying run, plating Esponilla, who had drawn a
one-out walk.
Hidalgo was in the middle of the game-win-
ning rally as well. Although he ofcially only
gets two RBI, his grounder through the short-
stops legs drove home the winning run.

49ers sign Grant,
Swain to 1-year deals
SAN FRANCISCO Linebacker Larry
Grant and wide receiver Brett Swain have
signed one-year contracts to remain with the
San Francisco 49ers.
The 49ers announced Tuesday that Grant
signed a one-year deal he had previously been
tendered. Drafted in the seventh round by San
Francisco in 2008, Grant spent three seasons
with the St. Louis Rams before returning to
the Bay Area last season.
He set a career-high with 30 tackles and had
two sacks and one forced fumble for the NFC
West champion 49ers last season. Grant also
had 10 tackles on special teams.
Swain was picked up by San Francisco after
being released by Green Bay during training
camp last year. He had two catches for 15
years in ve games.

Serra had plenty of opportunities Tuesday
to put some serious distance between them
and the Bells.
They were down 1-0 in the rst when an
error at second base blew a potential double-
play opportunity and Johhny Regan drove in a
run.
Serra got the run back in the second inning
and actually took the lead on Strupenis rst
clutch hit of the afternoon a two-strike sin-
gle up the middle that drove in a pair.
Hes been as clutch as anyone this season,
Gianinno said.
The Padres added two more in the bottom of
the third when Jordan Paroback led off with a
single. He was eventually forced out. A short
time later, Serra had runners on second and
third with one out. Enter Paul Murray, whose
sacrice y to deep left scored one run and
Derek Merryweather followed with a double
that scored another to make it 4-1.
The Bells pulled one back in the fourth
fueled by another Serra errors (their second of
four).
Bellarmine then got the big knock they were
looking for. With one out, Jake Whipple beat
out a swinging bunt on a bang-bang play at
rst. A couple pitches later, Grant Napier got
a hold of one and deposited the ball over the
Serra scoreboard for an impressive opposite
eld home run to tie things up at four.
The Padres looked poised to re-take the lead
in the fth. They had a runner on third with no
one out. Murray grounded out to rst, strand-
ing the runner. Then, in one those moments
you see once in a blue baseball moon, Serra
attempted a suicide squeeze with
Merryweather at the plate only to have No. 21
pop the ball behind him. Instead of going foul
or ending up dead off of Serras low netting,
the Bellarmine catcher made a fantastic over-
the-shoulder catch and the Serra runner crash-
ing from third had no chance to get back for
the rare 2-5 double play.
In the sixth, the Padres got another runner to
third, but left him stranded when Paroback
struck out.
With opportunities wasted, it looked like
perhaps the Bells would hand Serra another
heartbreaking loss after they were the ones to
get the clutch two-out single in their half of
the seventh.
But, the Padres battled. Mickey McDonald
singled to lead off and Colin Theroux drew a
walk. After a Murray sacrice bunt and a
Merryweather intentional walk, Antonio
Freschet drew a free pass of his own to bring
in the tying run.
With the bags still juiced and one out,
Strupeni stepped up and was down 1-2.
I was just looking for a ball that I could
drive, Strupeni said.
He got just that and placed the ball into right
center eld to give the Padres their rst league
win.
We were lucky enough to be in that
moment, Gianinno said. Im proud of the
way our guys fought. We got the job done.
SERRA
ANAHEIM Daric Barton ended a career-
worst homerless drought of 76 games with a
solo shot against Dan Haren and Coco Crisp
drove in the go-ahead run with an eighth-
inning single, triggering a four-run rally that
carried the Oakland Athletics to a 5-3 victory
over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday
night.
The Athletics got a one-out single from
Cuban rookie Yoenis Cespedes and a two-out
bunt hit from Kurt Suzuki in the seventh
before manager Mike Scioscia brought in left-
hander Scott Downs to face the left-swinging
Barton leaving Haren with a bewildered
look on his face.
The move turned out perfectly, as Barton
took a called third strike at the knees. But
Kevin Jepsen (0-1) gave up a pair of one-out
walks, Crisps clutch single and a run-scoring
ground-rule double by Josh Reddick that put
Oakland ahead 3-2. Cespedes greeted David
Carpenter with a two-run single to cap the
rally.
Brian Fuentes (1-0) pitched a scoreless sev-
enth inning for the victory and Grant Balfour
got his third save in as many attempts despite
giving up a one-out homer in the ninth by
Vernon Wells.
Haren allowed ve hits and no walks in 6 2-
3 innings after failing to get through six in
either of his rst two starts.
The only run against the
three-time All-Star right-
hander came in the fth on
Bartons home run.
Albert Pujols season-
opening home run drought
reached 11 games and 45
at-bats. The only other
time in his 12-year career
that the three-time NL
MVP went more than ve games before hit-
ting his rst homer was 2009, when it took
Pujols nine games and 28 at-bats to do it.
Pujols is the only player in Major League his-
tory to hit 30-or-more home runs in each of
his rst 11 seasons.
Oaklands Tyson Ross allowed two runs,
seven hits and no walks over six innings and
struck out three in his season debut after get-
ting recalled from the minors. The right-han-
der, who turns 25 years old on Sunday, got his
chance with the Athletics in need of a fth
starter for the rst time season.
Barton, who began the season on the dis-
abled list because of a right shoulder strain,
drove an 0-1 pitch into the lower seats in the
right eld corner with two out in the fth to
open the scoring. It was his rst home run
since Oct. 1, 2010, when he hit two against
Seattles Luke French at Safeco Field.
One pitch later, center elder Peter Bourjos
made a leaping grab above the fence to rob
Josh Donaldson of what would have been his
second big league homer.
Bourjos tied the score 1-all in the bottom
half with a run-scoring groundout and Torii
Hunter gave the Angels a 2-1 lead with an RBI
single in the sixth.
Notes: The As optioned RHP Andrew and
OF Collin Cowgill to clear roster spots for
Ross and RHP Neil Wagner, who were
recalled from Triple-A Sacramento. Ross was
the teams nal cut in spring training. ...
Pujols is homerless in 40 career at-bats
against Oakland. ... Only a sacrice y by
Crisp in the nal meeting of last season
between the As and Angels prevented Downs
from nishing with a perfect 0.00 ERA at
home. ... The As had scored in only one of
their previous 31 innings before Bartons
homer. ... The As have failed to reach double
digits in hits in any of their rst 12 games, the
longest such streak from the start of a season
since the franchise relocated from Kansas
City to Oakland in 1968. ... Fuentes, the for-
mer Angels closer, has been looking for his
200th career save since June 19, 2011, when
he closed out a 2-1 win against San Francisco.
He has pitched in the ninth inning four times
since then, but not in a save situation.
As win with 4-run eighth
SAN JOSE If the Sharks big guns dont
start scoring soon, San Jose might have a quick
stay in the Stanley Cup playoffs after making it
to the Western Conference nals for two straight
years.
The St. Louis Blues have throttled the top line
of Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Joe
Pavelski to take a 2-1 lead in their rst-round
series.
The high-powered trio that combined for 79
goals in the regular season has none this series or
in four regular-season games against the Blues.
Logan Couture, one of San Joses three 30-goal
scorers along with Marleau and Pavelski, got his
rst in seven games this season against St. Louis
with 17 seconds remaining in a 4-3 loss in Game
3. But it was too late to make a difference.
Were getting the chances. We just have to
stick with it and keep going, Marleau said
Tuesday. Theres tweaks here and there that we
do between games and during games. Its up to
us to go out there and execute that and make sure
we get the job done.
The top players have not been doing that.
Thornton did chip in three assists in the loss on
Monday night, but two came in the nal 3:02
when the game had essentially been decided.

Fine wine is said to improve with bar-
rel aging. So why not ne beer?
Thats the thinking behind the emerg-
ing craft beer trend of aging brews in the
barrel to give them more complexity.
Theres something extra about the
avor, says Dougal Sharp, master brew-
er and owner of the Scotland-based com-
pany Innis & Gunn, which has just intro-
duced its Irish Whiskey Cask Stout in
the United States.
Oak aging anything a wine, a spir-
it or a beer imparts enormous depth
of avor and mellowness and complexi-
ty. Just think about some of the best, the
real premier cru oak-aged wines that
youve had. You might not be able to
point to exactly why you just love the
wine, but you do because it has this
enormous depth of avor. Thats what
barrel-aging gives beer.
The Innis & Gunn beer was a bit of an
accident that began about a decade ago
when Sharp, working for his familys
brewing company in Edinburgh, got an
order from an Irish whiskey maker look-
ing for a custom-brewed beer to season
whiskey barrels for a special nish. The
plan was to throw out the beer once the
seasoning process was over, and thats
what happened at rst. But then some
distillery employees who apparently had
practiced a little initiative intervened.
I got a call one day from the distillery
to say, Youre not going to believe this
but the workers who are emptying these
barrels out dont want to throw the beer
down the drain because they say its just
too delicious.
Sharp investigated and later, after
rening the process, set up Innis & Gunn
with his brother, Neil. (Innis and Gunn
are the brothers middle names.) The
company also makes beer aged in old
rum casks, but for now the limited-edi-
tion whiskey cask stout is the only beer
available here.
Aged for 60 days in a three-step matu-
ration process, the beer is priced at
$12.99 a four-pack and there are plans to
introduce it in draft form.
Though its still a niche in the overall
industry, wood- and barrel-aged beers
merited their own category in the 2011
Great American Beer Festival, with 40
entries. And theyre just one of the many
developments to arise from the fast-
moving craft beer scene.
The entire American beer scene has
changed over the past three decades
because of todays small U.S. craft pro-
ducers, says Julia Herz, craft beer pro-
gram direct at the Brewers Association,
based in Boulder, Colo.
Something new brewing in barrels
More women are making
and enjoying beer
By Michelle Locke
A brew and a bro its the classic pairing, right? Not nec-
essarily.
From the rise of female brew masters to the growth of
womens tasting groups, women are becoming much more
than a pint-sized part of the brewing world.
The emergence of women as both beer-lovers and brewers
happened as the craft beer scene grew overall by leaps and
bounds, and thats no coincidence, says Lisa Morrison,
Oregon-based writer, blogger and author of Craft Beers of the
Pacic Northwest.
I think that women are nally discovering, thanks to craft
beer, that beer has avor, she says.
When we start getting into the artisan stuff you start realiz-
ing that theres an entire rainbow of avors that you can enjoy.
And because of that you can pair that with all kinds of differ-
ent food avors, Morrison says. Women love food. We love
cooking. We love tasting food. We love sampling different
things. So when you put all that together, the cooking with
beer, the pairing food with beer, the whole wide-ranging genre
of beer styles and beer avors its something that women
Oak aging anything a wine, a spirit or a beer imparts enormous depth of
avor and mellowness and complexity.

can get really excited about.
The marketing message is also different,
says Julia Herz, home brewer and craft beer
program director at the Boulder, Colo.-based
Brewers Association.
Historically, the mass-produced lagers
have been marketed as a beverage targeting
males in their mid to high 20s, and it seems to
me in advertising that I see for craft beer that
its really not marketed as a gender-specic
beverage.
Its hard to put a number on the trend, but
Morrison and others say theyve personally
seen more women take an interest in beer.
It used to be at beer festivals, I was pretty
much the only gal. Now its denitely ventur-
ing more toward 60-40 with women being
the 40 percent, says Morrison, who has been
involved in the craft beer scene for nearly 15
years.
On the business side, beer management
remains predominantly male, though there
have been changes there, too, says Irene
Firmat, founder and CEO of Full Sail Brewing
Co. in Hood River, Ore.
To support female brewers, a support net-
work called the Pink Boots Society was
formed. It includes a consumer tasting group
organization, Barleys Angels, that has chap-
ters in the U.S., Canada, Australia and South
America.
Being a female beer producer means stand-
ing out, says Rosemarie Certo, cofounder and
owner of Dock Street Brewing Co. in West
Philadelphia.
Certos interest in beer started when she
began making beer at home because she was-
nt happy with what was available domestical-
ly at the time. She started Dock Street in 1985
and remembers in the early days going to
make a sales pitch to a distributor and being
the only woman in a room of more than 50. I
remember not being bothered by it, she
recalls.
She sees the craft segment as generally hav-
ing a different approach to business. I think
its easier for women to enter the craft indus-
try only because the craft industry is different
to begin with, she says, pointing out that most
people dont go into the labor-intensive craft
beer business with dreams of piling up a for-
tune. Its an industry that is born from a lot of
love.
Firmat also started in beer about 25 years
ago, a time when there were about 20 craft
breweries nationwide compared to todays
2,000. Back then, it was considered more out-
landish to be challenging the big domestic
producers than to be a woman in the beer busi-
ness, she says.

How big is craft beer? In March, the
Brewers Association, which represents small
and independent brewers, released prelimi-
nary 2011 data showing a 15 percent increase
in craft brewers retail sales from 2010 to
2011, representing a total barrel increase of
1.3 million.
At the Saxon + Parole restaurant in New
York City, Innis & Gunn is served as well as a
bourbon-barrel-aged beer, Curieux, from
Allagash Brewing Co. in Portland, Me.
Both are really delicious, especially for
beer-lovers eager to try something different,
says Naren Young, who overseas the beverage
program at the restaurant. For those people
that want Bud Light, this is certainly not for
them, he says. But the beers are just home
runs for those people who want to experi-
ment.
He sees barrel-aged beer as another way
craft beer producers are staking their claim as
an alternative to mainstream offerings. And he
likes the way it goes against the quick and fast
trend that seems to apply just about every-
where else these days.
Barrel-aging takes time and adds such a
nice complexity, he says. The craft move-
ment has enlightened people to what small-
batch beer can be.

To make the most of tender spring vegeta-
bles, its important to use a gentle touch at the
stove.
This not only results in a more delicious
dish, its also usually much less work. This
simple braise of chicken legs and spring veg-
etables is a great example. Though the chick-
en cooks for 30 minutes in chicken stock, the
vegetables steam in the same pot for just a few
minutes.
For maximum avor, we brown the chicken
in a heavy pan before deglazing with a bit of
white wine. This adds all the flavorful
browned bits to the sauce. If you prefer chick-
en breasts over dark meat, you could certainly
substitute them for the legs. For best avor,
opt for bone-in.
For the sauce, we use chicken stock rather
than broth. Stocks are made with the avorful
bones, so they often have a deeper avor than
broths. You also can get stocks completely
unsalted, unlike broths. This allows you to
control the sodium you add to your dish. You
should be able to nd stocks alongside the
broths and soups at the grocer.
Broccolini looks like baby broccoli on long,
thin stalks. Its actually a hybrid of broccoli
and Chinese kale, but with a mild, slightly
peppery avor.
BRAISED CHICKEN LEGS
WITH SPRING VEGETABLES
Start to nish: 1 hour (30 minutes active)
Servings: 4
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons all-purpose our
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
4 chicken legs, skin and excess fat removed
(can also substitute a mix of drumsticks and
thighs)
Salt and ground black pepper
2 large sweet onions, quartered
1/4 cup white wine
2 cups no-salt chicken stock
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 bunch asparagus
1 bunch Broccolini
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
In a small bowl, mix together the butter and
our until completely smooth. Set aside.
In a heavy bottomed pot over medium-
high, heat the oil. Season the chicken legs
with salt and pepper. Working in batches,
cook the chicken legs until well browned,
about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chick-
en to a plate.
Add the onions to the pot and brown for 8
minutes. Add the wine and scrape the bottom
of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Return
the chicken legs to the pan along with the
stock and thyme. Bring to a low simmer, then
cover. Reduce heat to low and simmer until
the chicken legs are tender, about 30 minutes.
When the chicken is cooked, place the
asparagus and Broccolini over the chicken and
cover. Allow the vegetables to steam for 4 to 5
minutes, or until just tender and bright green.
Transfer the chicken legs and vegetables to
a platter. Increase the heat to medium-high
and whisk in the our and butter mixture.
Continue whisking until the mixture thickens,
about 3 minutes. Whisk in the vinegar, then
season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce
over the chicken and vegetables.
Light touch makes the
most of spring veggies

M
uch as I love a big, beefy steak,
sometimes I need something on
the lighter side.
Which doesnt mean Im willing to sacrice
the delicious char of the grill or the satisfac-
tion of something big and boldly avored on
my plate.
So I started playing around with the idea of
vegetable steaks produce that is cut into
thick slabs, then slowly grilled over medium
heat until tender and seared. Of course, the
cast of vegetable characters with which you
can do this is limited. People have been doing
it with portobello mushrooms (sans slicing)
for years. But I was looking for something
new.
For example, butternut squash could be cut
into rounds. Ditto for potatoes, both sweet and
white. Fennel bulbs could be trimmed and cut
in half top to bottom. If youre good with a
knife (and careful as you set them on the grill)
even cabbage and broccoli could be done this
way.
But my favorite is cauliower. With some
experimenting, Ive found that a head of cau-
liower can be sliced into two thick steaks
that hold up well on the grill. They can be sea-
soned as you see t, and topped with whatev-
er you like. In this recipe, I keep the season-
ings simple, then top them with lightly
poached eggs and trufe oil, creating a deli-
cious sauce.
GRILLED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH
POACHED EGGS AND TRUFFLE OIL
Start to nish: 30 minutes
Servings: 2
1 large head cauli-
ower
Olive oil
Salt and ground black
pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic
powder
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon white or
cider vinegar
2 eggs
Trufe oil (or trufe-
avored olive oil)
Heat a grill to medium. Bring a large
saucepan of water to a low simmer.
Use a paring knife to trim away the leaves
and any stem at the base of the cauliower,
but do not cut out the core. Stand the head of
cauliower upright on its base. Use a large
bread or other serrated knife to trim away 1/2
inch on either side of the head. Reserve these
pieces for another use.
Leaving the head standing upright, use the
knife to slice the cauliower in half down the
center to create 2 even halves. Sprinkle both
sides of each half with olive oil, then with salt,
pepper, a bit of the garlic powder and a little
lemon juice.
Carefully set the steaks on the grill, cover
and cook for 8 minutes. Use a spatula to care-
fully ip the cauliower and grill for another
8 minutes, or until both sides are lightly
browned and tender. Transfer to serving
plates, then cover with foil to keep warm.
Once the cauliower is done, add the vine-
gar to the simmering water.
Crack 1 egg into a small glass, then gently
and slowly pour it into the simmering water
by bringing the lip of the glass right down to
the surface of the water so the egg slides in.
Cook for 4 minutes, then use a slotted spoon
to lift out the egg (letting excess water drip
away), setting it one of the cauliower steaks.
Repeat with the remaining egg.
Season the eggs with salt and pepper, then
drizzle with trufe oil. Serve immediately.

Tuesday in Sacramento after address-
ing a meeting of the California Medical
Association. This is ugly, and wed
better do everything we can to slow it
down and even reverse it.
Even though the system has stepped
up recruitment of students from outside
the state, 61,443 Californians 3.6
percent more than last year still
gained admission to a UC school,
though not necessarily to one of the
campuses they hoped to attend.
That increase is due to the system
accepting roughly 7,900 more fresh-
men that it did last year.
But because the system received so
many more applications across the
board, the admission rate for in-state
students dropped from 69.7 percent last
year to 65.8 percent for this year.
I dont see how it couldnt make us
worried that our kids are going to have
a much harder time getting into the
local schools. Its distressing, said
Berkeley resident Carrie Hibbs, whose
daughter is a high school junior hoping
to attend the University of California at
Santa Barbara in the fall of 2013. It
just means there will be a trickle-down
effect, with more students looking to
Cal State schools and them becoming
more competitive and crowded, so its
going to affect a lot of us.
Kate Jeffery, the UC systems inter-
im director of undergraduate admis-
sions, acknowledged that California
high school students whose educations
are subsidized by the state are facing
stiffer completion from nonresidents
who are paying their own way, if you
will. Nonresidents will pay about
$36,078 in tuition in the coming aca-
demic year, compared with $13,200 for
residents.
The issue with the California resi-
dent students is a funding problem, the
amount of money we get from the state
to educate students, Jeffery said.
That amount has not increased.
Because not all students who are
admitted end up enrolling, it is still too
early to say what proportion of the
freshman class will come from outside
California, she said.
Last year, nonresidents accepted
their admission offers at lower rates
than in-state students, and ended up
comprising about 12 percent of the
freshmen who planned to enroll in the
fall.
Jeffery sought to emphasize the ben-
efits of building a student body that has
more non-Californians. Apart from the
financial contribution, out-of-state stu-
dents bring geographical and cultural
diversity to campuses, she said.
Jim Walker, a retired high school
educator who spent years reading
applications to UC Berkeley, said that
while it was naturally distressing for
college-bound students to not be
accepted to the campus they wanted,
the university system should be com-
mended for continuing to meet its
decades-old pledge to admit the top 9
percent of Californias high school
graduates.
The University of California, to this
date, has met its commitment and will
continue to do so, Walker said. You
may not always get the campus of your
choice because of the increased num-
ber of applicants, but the commitment
is there if you take the right courses
and do well.
STUDENTS
required to make sure the kangaroo har-
vest does not exceed Australias quota.
The monthly reports on the Loma Prieta
earthquake are considered to be unnec-
essary after 23 years.
Another requirement directs the
Department of Transportation to report
on the use of used tires. The state said it
will continue to make recycling informa-
tion public but not turn in a formal
report.
The Legislature wants to get a lot of
information and one report leads to
another report, and after 10 or 20 years,
you have literally hundreds and hun-
dreds of reports, Brown told reporters
Tuesday after a speech to the California
Medical Association meeting in
Sacramento. It takes time, its not free.
The administration did not have an
estimate on how much the change would
save. Browns spokeswoman Elizabeth
Ashford said the goal was to improve
worker productivity and reduce some
printing and production costs.
Brown, a Democrat, issued his execu-
tive order back in December as part of
his effort to streamline government and
improve state efciency. He said govern-
ment should be focused on providing
helpful information to taxpayers.
California faces a $9.2 billion budget
decit this year and the governor warned
the gap could grow by $1 billion or
more. Brown is scheduled to update the
Legislature next month.
I think it will be bigger than it was
before, Brown said about various court
challenges to state cuts. Whether its $1
billion or a couple billion, well let you
know in a couple weeks.
In response to Tuesdays ndings, the
administration will end production on
about half of those reports. Browns
nance director, Ana Matosantos, asked
the Legislature to end reporting require-
ments on the remaining half.
In a letter dated Tuesday, Matosantos
asked the Senate and Assembly to take
legislative action on 375 reports that the
administration believes to be no longer
of value or are one-time reporting
requirements that have already been
completed.
REPORTS
the 1906 earthquake.
More than half of San Francisco
burned down as a result of the devastat-
ing re that ensued after the 1906 earth-
quake. This event led to the building of
the Hetch Hetchy Water and Power
System nearly 100 years ago a system
we are investing in now to protect our
Bay Area people and economy, said
Lee.
The project is on time and on budget,
said Adrienne Tissier, president of the
San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors.
Tissier started an emergency prepared-
ness program in San Mateo County after
Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans
seven years ago. The region should not
just be prepared for an earthquake,
Tissier said, but any other disaster that
strikes the region including a drought.
Increasing the capacity for water in
the reservoir by 3 billion gallons will
also help the region prepare for popula-
tion growth and new development, she
said.
The Lower Crystal Springs Dam was
built in 1888 and survived the 1906
earthquake and Loma Prieta earthquake
of 1989.
Now, in the case of any seismic
event, water would be restored within 24
hours, said Lee, who also praised the
job creation made possible by SFPUCs
Water System Improvement Program.
The Upper and Lower Crystal Springs
Reservoirs, Pilarcitos Reservoir and San
Andreas Lake serves as the primary stor-
age facility for emergency backup and
supplementary water supply for the
entire San Francisco Peninsula.
Following the infrastructure upgrades
in the dam area, San Mateo County will
rebuild the Skyline Bridge over the dam.
Major projects currently in construc-
tion include the rst tunnel under the
Bay and a new seismically-reliable dam
in Calavaras.

However, Johnson is still facing a May
7 trial on the felony charge.
Between 2008 and 2010, Johnson
allegedly made 36 separate withdrawals
totaling $5,000. The associations treas-
urer discovered the theft.
Wagstaffe said he believed Johnson
took the funds for a personal matter but
didnt have further details.
Defense attorney Ross Green did not
return an inquiry for comment on the
allegations.
The police officers association no
longer exists as the Sheriffs Ofce took
over police services from the city of Half
Moon Bay earlier this year. Sheriffs Lt.
Larry Shumaker said by that point
Johnson was no longer employed with
Half Moon Bay.
Johnson is free from custody on his
own recognizance.
If convicted, Johnson faces up to three
years in prison although the time would
be served in the county jail under the
new realignment sentencing guidelines,
Wagstaffe said.

THEFT
I dont see how it couldnt make us
worried that our kids are going to have a much
harder time getting into the local schools. Its distressing.
Berkeley resident Carrie Hibbs
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 2012
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Establish your own
agenda if you can. Youll know better than anyone
what you need to accomplish and what can wait.
Dont let anybody or anything take you off course.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Being in a devilish
mood, youre dying to tell others the secret you pos-
sess. If you give in and tell all, youll be in the soup.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A social involvement
could prove to be both enjoyable and instructive,
especially if youre interacting with a small group.
Intimate circles have a way of revealing much.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Because you have the
capacity to focus on signifcant objectives, achieving
success in your endeavors is likely. Once you estab-
lish a goal, you wont be dissuaded from your task.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Youre not likely to be much
of a talker, but when you do speak up it will be with
something that needs to be said, and will be of
extreme value to your listeners.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A close friend of yours
could receive some important information from a reli-
able source and wont be remiss about sharing it with
you. What you learn could make or save you money.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- When making an impor-
tant agreement with another, be sure to scrutinize all
the fne print. Chances are itll be those nasty insig-
nifcant items that cause trouble down the line.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- This is an excellent day
to rid get rid of all those nasty, minor jobs that have
piled up. Clear the decks so that you can make room
for more important projects coming your way.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A social contact
youve established could be of big help concerning
something that is occurring in another area of your
life. She or he will be just the person you need to
help out.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Drop everything and
take care of something important that only you can
bring to a successful conclusion. It probably involves
a domestic affair.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A perfect opportunity
to bring out into the open a critical matter that youve
been reluctant to discuss may present itself. Dont
waste this chance to unload.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Think in terms of
making a lot of small profts instead of scoring one
big kill. Little gains have better chances of occurring,
and they can add up into something signifcant.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
SAM JORDAN
Case Number 122191
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: SAM JORDAN. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Sa-
muel L. Jordan, Jr. in the Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition of Probate requests that Samuel
L. Jordan, Jr. be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection of the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: May 4, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo, 400 County Cen-
ter, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you ob-
ject to the granting of the petition, you
should appear at the hearing and state
your objections or file written objections
with the court before the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person or by your
attorney. If you are a creditor or a con-
tingent creditor of the decedent, you
must file your claim with the court and
mail a copy to the personal representa-
tive appointed by the court within four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters as provided in Probate Code sec-
tion 9100. The time for filing claims will
not expire before four months from the
hearing date noticed above. You may
examine the file kept by the court. If you
are a person interested in the estate, you
may file with the court a Request for
Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing
of an inventory and appraisal of estate
assets or of any petition or account as
provided in Probate Code section 1250.
A Request for Special Notice form is
available from the court clerk.
