Jury finds transient guilty of first-degree
murder in beating of Belmont man, 88
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A jury deliberated less than three hours
before nding Tyler James Hutchinson
guilty of felony murder in the savage beat-
ing of an 88-year-old Belmont man during
a midday home invasion robbery that two
weeks later led to his death.
Hutchinson, 25, was convicted of rst-
degree murder in the commission of a
another felony burglary and robbery
which will send him to prison for life without parole because
prosecutors opted against seeking the death penalty. Jurors
also found him guilty of residential burglary, robbery and the

Gov. Jerry Browns effort to simplify
school funding could result in a $4.5
million cut to San Mateo County
money which normally supports region-
al occupational programs at local high
schools.
Browns proposed Local Control
Funding Formula aims to maintain, and
in some cases increase, funding to dis-
tricts throughout the state while also
simplifying the system. Unfortunately
for local high
schools, a possible
side effect in the pro-
posal eliminates the

ability to use excess
property taxes to
support the Regional
O c c u p a t i o n a l
Program, which pro-
vides job training and internship oppor-
tunities. And, since the state wasnt orig-
inally making those payments to the
county, the governors bill wouldnt fund
it in the future. As such, high school dis-
tricts are faced with tough decisions
about class offerings for this coming fall.
In the governors effort to equalize
funding statewide for both California
school districts and county ofces of
education, there seems to be a signicant
amount of unintentional harm created,

Shake on a plane? Dance
craze brings FAA inquiry
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
The latest craze to sweep the Internet
is bringing college students the wrong
kind of attention from the Federal
Aviation Administration.
During a flight from Colorado
Springs to San Diego, a group of stu-
dents started the Harlem Shake, a
dance to a song of the same name.
In the suddenly popular YouTube
videos, one person starts dancing, then
the video cuts to a large group of peo-
ple dancing, many in costume.
Matt Zelin, a sophomore, told the
Colorado College newspaper, The
Catalyst, he asked a flight attendant
for permission beforehand.
FAA spokesman Allen Kenitzer said
Thursday theyre looking at what
phase the flight was in during the
dance in the aisles.
Frontier Airlines says the seatbelt
sign was off and safety measures were
followed.
Dust from Africa affects
snowfall in California
LOS ANGELES One of the driest
spots on Earth the Sahara desert
is increasingly responsible for snow
and rain half a world away in the west-
ern U.S., a new study released
Thursday found.
Its no secret that winds carrying
dust, soot and even germs make
transcontinental journeys through the
upper atmosphere that can affect the
weather thousands of miles away. Yet
little is known about the impact of for-
eign pollutants on the West Coast,
which relies on mountain snowmelt
for its water needs.
Previous studies hinted these jet-set-
ting particles may retard rainfall in the
Sierra Nevada mountains in Northern
California by reducing the size of
water droplets in clouds. But scientists
who flew through storm clouds in an
aircraft, measured rain and snow and
analyzed satellite imagery found the
opposite: Far-flung dust and germs can
help stimulate precipitation.
During the 2011 winter, a team from
the University of California, San
Diego and National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration traced
particles suspended in clouds over the
Sierra to distant origins from the
skies over the arid Sahara that later
mingled with other pollutants in China
and Mongolia before crossing the
Pacific.
The days with the most particles in
the clouds were also days when we
see the most snow on the ground, said
study leader Kimberly Prather, an
atmospheric chemistry professor at
UC San Diego, whose study was pub-
lished online Thursday in the journal
Science.
Mayor puts lock-picking
class in newsletter
The mayor of Oakland struggling
with a spike in burglaries and other
crimes is apologizing for promoting a
class about how to pick locks in her
newsletter.
Oakland Mayor Jean Quan said
Wednesday she understood the reac-
tion of people who were upset about a
listing for the lock-picking class. She
said she will do a better job reviewing
listings in the future.
The class offered through the
website, workshopweekend.net was
geared toward people who misplace
their keys. But it didnt go over well
with some residents given the citys
crime woes, including a more-than 40
percent jump in burglaries last year.

A Windsor man who prosecutors say
arrived at a South San Francisco hotel bearing
sex items, methamphetamine, childrens toys
and plans to have sex with the two young
children of a man he met in an incest chat
room pleaded not guilty yesterday to six
felonies.
Scott Allen Schaffer, 57, of Windsor,
reached out to an undercover police ofcer
posing as a father who was actively molesting
his children and made arrangements to meet
him, his 10-year-old son and 6-year-old
daughter at the Vagabond Inn in South San
Francisco, according to prosecutors.
Schaffer indicated spe-
cic sex acts he wanted to
perform with each child
and said hed bring con-
doms because he was
HIV-positive, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
He also reportedly said
he wanted to do metham-
phetamine before the acts
and show the children
pornography on his laptop.
On the afternoon of Feb. 26, Schaffer went
to the hotel as arranged, carrying a bag and
duffel bag, and reportedly became hysterical
and apologetic when an ofcer opened the
door rather than his ctional pen pal.
Police reported nding in the bags candy, a
Harry Potter PlayStation game, sex toys,
methamphetamine and a glass pipe, enemas
and peanut butter. On Thursday, Schaffer was
formally charged with two counts of attempt-
ing a lewd act on a child, communicating for
the purposes of arranging a lewd act and two
counts of attempting a sexual act with a child
under 10. He was also charged with a misde-
meanor count of possessing a syringe.
Schaffer pleaded not guilty and asked for a
court-appointed attorney. Bail was set at
$750,000 and he returns to court March 12
for a preliminary hearing.

Man charged with arranging sex date with children
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
An allegedly intoxicated driver who collided
with another inebriated motorist in a Menlo
Park intersection last August and ed will stand
trial on charges of leaving the scene of a crime
and drunk driving after a judge found sufcient
evidence.
Yungee Kim, 41, of Sunnyvale previously
pleaded not guilty to the charges but was
ordered to trial after a preliminary hearing in
which the defense presented no evidence. Kim
returns to Superior Court March 13 to enter a
plea and possibly set a jury trial date.
Zaquis Jahrona Coleman, the other motorist
involved in the Aug. 11 crash, pleaded no con-
test in October to misde-
meanor drunk driving and
received two days jail with
credit for time served.
Menlo Park police of-
cers arrested both defen-
dants after responding to
reports of a hit-and-run
crash near the intersection
of Bayfront Expressway
and Chrysler Drive at
about 2:30 a.m.
Prosecutors say Kim, who has a 2011 convic-
tion for reckless driving, struck Colemans
vehicle nearly head-on as she made a left turn
on westbound Chrysler. A witness wasnt sure
who had the green light but said Kim ed the
scene on foot without contacting those inside
the other car.
Coleman, 22, of East Palo Alto, was unin-
jured but a 24-year-old passenger sustained a
compound fracture of her left wrist. Colemans
alcohol level tested at .18 and .19, leading to
her arrest. Roughly two hours later, ofcers
found Kim wandering in the 100 block of
Constitution Drive without any shoes and
falling down. In his pocket were keys to the car
involved in the crash and the vehicle is regis-
tered in his name, according to prosecutors.
Kim remains free from custody on a $50,000
bail bond.

Marin health officials warn
against eating some shellsh
The California Department of
Public Health has issued a warning
against eating recreationally har-
vested mussels, clams or whole
scallops from Marin County.
Dangerous levels of paralytic
shellsh poisoning toxins have been
found in mussels in the county, and
clams and scallops may also pose a
health risk, the departments
spokeswoman Anita Gore said.
The naturally occurring toxins
can cause illness or deaths in
humans, Gore said.
Shellsh sold by certied har-
vesters are subject to frequent
mandatory testing. The warning is
separate from the annual mussel
quarantine that was extended from
Oct. 31, 2012 for Del Norte and
Humboldt counties and is still in
effect, Gore said.
Toll officials approve
$5.6M Bay Bridge bash
San Francisco Bay Area trans-
portation ofcials have agreed to
spend up to $5.6 million to pay for
part of the inaugural celebration for
the new east span of the Bay Bridge.
The Bay Area Toll Authority on
Wednesday approved the funding
for a walk across the new span
planned for Labor Day. The money
is slated to come from toll revenues
although ofcials are also consider-
ing charging each walker a fee.
Suggestions have ranged from $5
to $20.
The number of walkers is expect-
ed to be limited to the rst 120,000
people who sign up in advance.
Additional celebrations are
planned by the Bay Bridge Alliance,
a private foundation that is hoping
to raise at least another $3.5 million
for a bike ride, footraces and re-
works displays.

The San Mateo County Community
College Districts former information tech-
nology director and another worker who mis-
used the agencys credit card to buy $350,000
worth of goods that they later sold online
pleaded no contest to their respective charges
of embezzlement, forgery and identity theft.
Former director Bradley John Witham, 43,
faces up to ve years in prison when sen-
tenced March 21 while former worker Mark
Anthony Bustos, 42, was immediately sen-
tenced to 90 days in jail and three years of
supervised probation.
Prosecutors say between June 2006 and
June 2012, Witham used the districts credit
card to buy online dozens of electronic items
like computers, hard drives and memory
sticks which were then resold on eBay and
Craigslist. Witham also submitted for reim-
bursement three forged
receipts for iPhones and a
bunk bed set. Witham
resigned from the district
and headed to Australia
during which time Bustos
reportedly hacked into the
vice chancellors email
and learned of the investi-
gation by the District
Attorneys Ofce. Bustos
then alerted Witham,
according to the District Attorneys Ofce.
Witham pleaded no contest to four felonies
three counts of forging documents and one
count of embezzlement of public funds by a
public ofcial. He also admitted taking more
than $65,000 and an allegation that requires
he be sent to prison unless there is an unusu-
al circumstance. Prosecutors sought a six-
year maximum sentence but Judge Jonathan
Karesh capped it at ve years.
Bustos pleaded no con-
test to felony identity theft
in return for a promise of
no prison and 90 days jail.
Witham remains in cus-
tody in lieu of $1 million
bail while Bustos was free
on a $250,000 bond.
Shortly after the pairs
arrest, Ron Galatolo, San
Mateo County
Community College District chancellor,
called the situation a deplorable and discon-
certing affair but said the district acted
quickly.
On Thursday, Barbara Christensen, director
of community and government relations, said
the district had no comment on the pleas. The
district did employ an auditor to review its
internal controls. A list of suggested improve-
ments will come to the board in April, she

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A man will stand trial on three felonies for
allegedly driving a stolen vehicle into a man
exiting his car to attend a church Christmas
pageant and eeing to his girlfriends home
where authorities later discovered ammunition
and stolen property from a Millbrae burglary.
Michael John Weiler, 27, has pleaded not
guilty but a judge held him to answer on
counts of felony hit-and-run, possession of a
stolen vehicle and possession of ammunition
by a convicted felon. Prosecutors dismissed
another count of possessing stolen property
due to insufcient evidence and never charged
him with the Millbrae burglary because they
could not prove he committed the crime.
Prosecutors say Weiler was driving a stolen
Ford F-250 truck Dec. 19 when, just before 7
p.m., he collided with a man exiting his vehi-
cle on the 400 block of Miller Avenue to attend
the Christmas pageant at All Souls Church in
South San Francisco. The driver did not stop
but cameras in a nearby parking lot lmed the
collision and a South San Francisco police
ofcer later recognized the truck from a photo.
The victim was taken to a local hospital with
life-threatening injuries.
The ofcer tracked the truck to the South
San Francisco home of Weilers girlfriend and
contacted Weiler, who denied any involvement
with either the stolen 1997 vehicle or the hit-
and-run incident. Two people who witnessed
the crash later identied the truck and one of
those also identied Weiler, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce.
Weilers employer later told police he saw
him driving the truck multiple times and once
lled the tank with gasoline for him. A police
search of the girlfriends home turned up the
ammunition and stolen property from a burgla-
ry four days previous in Millbrae.
Weiler also has a pending felony case from
October for possession of methamphetamine.
He remains in custody on $150,000 bail and
returns to court March 19 to enter a Superior
Court plea and potentially set a jury trial date.

Man who fought gunman
not surprised by shooting
By Jeff Barnard
GRANTS PASS, Ore. An Oregon man
who wrestled over a gun with the barista who
killed two police ofcers in Santa Cruz said
Thursday he is not surprised the gunmans life
came to such a violent
end.
Danny Thomas said
Jeremy Goulet also pulled
a gun about six years ago
in Portland, Ore., when
Thomas confronted him
after catching him peep-
ing on Thomas girlfriend
while she took a shower.
Authorities in
California say Goulet, who worked in a har-
borside espresso shop, was shot dead by
police Tuesday after shooting two detectives
who went to his home to question him about
making unwanted advances on a co-worker.
Thomas said when he learned from Portland
police what Goulet had done in Santa Cruz, he
was shocked, but not really surprised.
He did seem crazy, Thomas said. There
was just a lot of stuff along the line where it
seemed like people had the opportunity to
lock him up.
While Goulet was ying helicopters for the
Army in Hawaii in his late 20s, he faced
court-martial on charges of raping two
women, Honolulu attorney Don Wilkerson
told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Wilkerson,
who represented Goulet, said the Army
dropped the charges when Goulet agreed to a
less-than-honorable discharge.
Thomas, 31, the owner of a womens cloth-
ing boutique, said the November 2007 con-
frontation occurred after he and his girlfriend
had driven up to their apartment late at night
and saw Goulet pacing outside. Thomas had
run Goulet off before.
I got out of the car and said, What are you
doing back? I told you not to come back,
Thomas said.

WASHINGTON In a historic argument
for gay rights, President Barack Obama on
Thursday urged the Supreme Court to over-
turn Californias same-sex marriage ban and
turn a skeptical eye on similar prohibitions
across the country.
The Obama administrations friend-of-the-
court brief marked the rst time a U.S. presi-
dent has urged the high court to expand the
right of gays and lesbians to wed. The ling
unequivocally calls on the justices to strike
down Californias Proposition 8 ballot meas-
ure, although it stops short of the soaring rhet-
oric on marriage equality Obama expressed in
his inaugural address in January.
California is one of eight states that give
gay couples all the benefits of marriage
through civil unions or domestic partner-
ship, but dont allow them to wed. The brief
argues that in granting same-sex couples
those rights, California has already
acknowledged that gay relationships bear
the same hallmarks as straight ones.
They establish homes and lives together,
support each other nancially, share the joys
and burdens of raising children, and provide
care through illness and comfort at the
moment of death, the administration wrote.
The brief marks the presidents most expan-
sive view of gay marriage and signals that he
is moving away from his previous assertion
that states should determine their own mar-
riage laws. Obama, a former constitutional
law professor, signed off on the administra-
tions legal argument last week following
lengthy discussions with Attorney General
Eric Holder and Solicitor General Donald
Verrilli.
In a statement following the ling, Holder
said the government seeks to vindicate the
dening constitutional ideal of equal treat-
ment under the law.
Obamas position, if adopted by the court,
would likely result in gay marriage becoming
legal in the seven other states: Delaware,
Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon
and Rhode Island.

SACRAMENTO California lawmakers
took the rst step Thursday toward passing
new consumer protections, such as guaran-
teeing coverage even with pre-existing condi-
tions, under the federal health care overhaul.
Democrats in both houses of the
Legislature passed bills dealing with individ-
ual insurance regulations that would prevent
insurers from discriminating and overcharg-
ing customers.
The bills, ABx1 2 by Assemblyman
Richard Pan, D-Sacramento, and SBx1 2 by
Sen. Ed Hernandez, D-West Covina, also
seek to ensure quality health coverage.
The bills now switch houses while law-
makers work out the details with Gov. Jerry
Brown to eventually pass and sign just one of
them. One of the sticking points is how many
geographic regions health insurers will be
able to use to determine premiums.
This is just one part of the puzzle,
Hernandez said.
The bills were introduced during a special
legislative session convened by Brown to
implement health care reform in the state.
The governor wants lawmakers to tweak
state laws as soon as possible so ofcials can
launch a new insurance marketplace and
expand the states health insurance program
for the poor.
The two regulatory bills passed Thursday
on party-line votes prevent insurers from dis-
criminating based on an individuals health
status, medical condition, plan experience
and genetic information. Instead, insurers
will be limited to adjusting rates on age,
geography and family size.
The measures essentially add the
Affordable Care Act to California law so
state agencies have the power to enforce and
regulate new individual insurance rules.

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy
As bells tolled and the clock struck
8, the brass-studded wooden doors
swung shut Thursday at this palace
in the Italian hills, marking an end
to Benedict XVIs papacy and the
start of his nal journey as a sim-
ple pilgrim.
Capping a day of tearful farewells
that included an extraordinary
pledge of obedience to his succes-
sor, Benedict entered history as the
rst pope in 600 years to resign
leaving the Catholic Church in
unprecedented limbo and ending a
ponticate shaped by struggles to
move beyond clerical sex abuse
scandals and reawaken Christianity
in an indifferent world.
On Benedicts last day, the mood
was vastly different inside the
Vatican than at Castel Gandolfo, the
17th-century papal retreat set in the
hills south of Rome, where he will
spend the rst two months of his
retirement.
At the seat of the popes,
Benedicts staff bade the pontiff
goodbye in scenes of dignified
solemnity, with Swiss Guards in full
regalia and prelates kneeling to kiss
his papal ring one last time.
A livelier atmosphere reigned in
the countryside, with well-wishers
jamming the hilltop towns main
square, shouting Viva il Papa! and
waving the yellow and white ags
of the Holy See.
Cheers went up as the 85-year-old
Benedict stepped out onto the
palace balcony and, arms out-
stretched, declared his papacy was
nearing the end.
I am simply a pilgrim beginning
the last leg of his pilgrimage on this
Earth, he said. Then giving a nal
blessing, he declared: Grazie e
buona notte Thank you and
good night in Italian.
It was a remarkable bookend to a
papacy that began on April 19,
2005, with a similarly meek speech
delivered from the loggia overlook-
ing St. Peters Square, where the
newly elected Benedict said he was
but a simple humble worker in the
vineyard of the Lord.
Over his eight-year papacy,
Benedict tried to set the church on a
more traditional course, convinced
that all the ills aficting it sexual
abuse, dwindling numbers of priests
and empty pews were a result of
a misreading of the reforms of the
Second Vatican Council.
Now a simple pilgrim, Benedict resigns papacy

WASHINGTON House
Republicans raised the white ag
Thursday on extending domestic
violence protections to gays, les-
bians and transsexuals after months
of resisting an expansion of the
Violence Against Women Act.
GOP leaders, who had tried to
limit the bill before last Novembers
election, gave the go-ahead for the
House to accept a more ambitious
Senate version written mainly by
Democrats.
Democrats, with a minority of
Republicans, were key to the 286-
138 House vote that sent to
President Barack Obama a renewal
of the 1994 law that has set the stan-
dard for how to protect women, and
some men, from domestic abuse and
prosecute abusers.
It was the third time this year that
House Speaker John Boehner has
allowed Democrats and moderates
in his own party to prevail over the
GOPs much larger conservative
wing. As with a Jan. 1 vote to avoid
the scal cliff and legislation to
extend Superstorm Sandy aid, a
majority of House Republicans
voted against the nal anti-violence
bill.
Obama, in a statement, said that
renewing this bill is an important
step towards making sure no one in
America is forced to live in fear
and said he would sign the bill as
soon as it hits my desk.

Fall election
causes sticker shock
City clerks in San Mateo County
received sticker shock the week of
March 1, 2008 when bills for the
November election a unique bal-
lot without any state or county
issues proved double and triple
than the average con-
test.
I was totally sur-
prised this
hap-
pened,
said San Mateo City
Clerk Norma
Gomez. I dont fault the county
but I would have appreciated a
heads-up.
Gomez echoed what contacted
city ofcials said: The bottom line
is far more than what they budgeted
but it might not have hurt as much
if there was forewarning.
I think everybody around here is
coming a bit unglued, said San
Carlos City Clerk Christine Boland.
Money might be flowing, but
bills growing in Burlingame
The city of Burlingame
announced the week of March 1,
2008 it anticipated ending the year
with $47.14 million instead of the
$45.76 in the adopted budget.
Likewise, the bills went up from
$42.62 million to $43.12.
At a budget study session that
week, the City Council directed
staff to be extra conservative in the
upcoming year. Overall, the city
seemed to be telling a familiar
story: It still did not have the $4
million minimum needed annually
to fund capital improvements. That
remained at $2.5 million. Sales tax
was falling a bit short of the 5 per-
cent goal that year causing a drop
in the following years anticipated
growth to 2 percent. And employee
costs were rising steadily.
Officials order

The week of March 1, 2008,

know they would be notied by
phone

Raul Orozco, 17, and the lack of
immediate notication to the sur-
rounding neighborhood.
BART faces possible
$3.4 million deficit
The Bay Area Rapid Transit
District was facing a possible $3.4
million decit for the 2009 scal
year beginning July 1 based on
slower growth in ridership and
sales tax revenues, the transit
agency announced the week of
March 1, 2008.
The budget presented to BART
directors that week was only a pro
forma budget and the preliminary
budget was not set to be released
until March 31, 2008. The board
was scheduled to adopt the nal
budget for scal 2009 in late June.

The diversion means a reduction of

equivalent of removing more than
743,000 cars from the road.

Letters to the editor
The (Riverside) Press-Enterprise
M
ore money without additional
accountability is not a prescrip-
tion for improving Californias
higher education system. Legislators should
back the governors call for changes in the
states college and university operations. But
the Legislature should tie funding to require-
ments for a more productive and cost-effec-
tive approach to education, not just hand out
more taxpayer dollars.
Gov. Jerry Browns budget plan proposes
to spend $11.9 billion in general fund money
on higher education next scal year, an
increase of $1.4 billion over the current year.
Other sources of funding, such as tuition and
federal money, would bring the total budget
for basic community college and university
operations to $18.4 billion in 2013-14.
But Brown also proposes transforming a
higher education system that he says relies
on a model that is not sustainable. The cost
of delivering public higher education in
California is high and growing steadily, yet
often without adding productivity or value,
the governor says. Brown wants to cut the
expense of providing higher education, by
improving graduation rates, using existing
funds more effectively and embracing online
courses, among other steps.
Pressing for changes is not the same as
actually making reforms, however. The
states legislative analyst this month said that
the governors budget approach is unlikely to
result in improvements. Brown would just
give higher education additional tax dollars
without any requirement that the higher edu-
cation systems change their practices in
return, which leaves the college and universi-
ty systems free to continue operating as they
have been. Why the state would invest more
in a system that is high cost and has poor
outcomes without requiring explicit improve-
ment is unclear, the analyst notes.
Nor would the governors plan do much to
reduce overall costs. The University of
California, for example, already spends about
$166,000 for each degree, compared to
$140,000 at similar institutions nationwide,
the analyst reports. But based on the univer-
sity systems own budget plans, more tax
dollars from the state not tied to any reforms
would probably go toward higher pay, which
would actually increase the cost per student.
The analyst points out that the universities
could make some crucial improvements by
using existing resources more productively.
Capping the number of state-subsidized
courses each student could take would
encourage prompt graduation, which would
reduce costs and free up space in high-
demand classes. Likewise, using more online
education could ease classroom bottlenecks
without the need for a massive state taxpayer
investment.
But simply expecting systemic change to
somehow occur is wishful thinking. The
Legislature should link any additional state
taxpayer funding to specic improvements,
such as better graduation rates and lower
costs. Without that leverage, the states col-
leges and universities will have little incen-
tive to alter longstanding habits.
Higher education is a top priority, because
the states prosperity depends on a ready sup-
ply of well-trained workers. But the state
needs a more effective approach to meeting
that goal than just throwing more tax money
at colleges and hoping for the best.
Golden State
Editor,
Letters contributor Harry Roussard
returned from a few weeks out of town and
was complaining about working seven days a
week to pay his taxes and save some money
so I can afford Obamacare in his letter Oh
California in the Feb. 25 edition of the
Daily Journal.
From past contributions, I get that Mr.
Roussard was bitterly disappointed in the
results of the recent national election, and de
facto majority support for the new health
care mandates. I was gratied that Mr.
Roussard was able to take several weeks
away from the blistering schedule and return
to reect on the state of the economy.
His sentiments were somewhat ironic given
that the very same day an article describing
the new found pragmatic approach toward
Obamacare by many Republican governors
appeared in many newspapers nationally
including the San Mateo Daily Journal.
Apparently, said governors have realized the
provisions of the new Affordable Care Act
are benecial to many of their constituents
and, with elections, looming are scared shirt-
less that any opposition to those increasingly
popular requirements may be deleterious to
their election chances. Even Wisconsin Gov.
Scott Walker is talking nice.

Article priority
Editor,
Lets see, the Feb. 27, 2013 Daily Journals
lead stories are hotel plans in San Bruno,
sewer mandate in Belmont and murder sus-
pect back in custody.
An article about two police ofcers killed
in the line of duty in Santa Cruz only gets a
mere mention on page six.
Am I the only person that sees something
wrong with priorities given to these articles?

An overkill?
Editor,
Our Congresswoman, Jackie Speier, having
a harrowing personal experience with gun
violence, is a convincing anti-gun advocate.
But in her guest perspective, The faces of
gun violence, in the Feb. 26 edition of the
Daily Journal, it seems to me she is trying
too hard when she nds it plausible to make
pictures of damage done to a young body by
bullets public, as Veronique Pozner, mother
of a Connecticut victim, suggests.
Whats next? Publishing pictures of abort-
ed late-term fetuses to make a pro-life advo-
cates argument more compelling? Lets use
some common sense and decency when we
are trying to prove our point.

Ammunition tax
Editor,
If an extra tax on ammunition seems rea-
sonable, then why not extra taxes on these:
cars capable of exceeding 70 mph (cars kill
93 a day or is that drivers?), speed rated
tires 140 mph seems a tad excessive (33
deaths a day), cellphones (distracted driving
15 deaths a day), baseball bats and ham-
mers (more murders with them than all ries
combined), violent sports event tickets, vio-
lent video games, your cable movie bill,
movies, violent music (violent entertainment
inures viewers to violence and molds behav-
ior), alcohol (kills 27 a day), having children
(some will become criminals), lawyers (some
will defend criminals), politicians (just
because).
Im not afliated with any organization
that is for or against taxes, ammunition,
guns, cars, tires, bats, hammers, sports, vio-
lent entertainment, alcohol, children, lawyers
or politicians. However, I do try to think.

The art of
adjectives
O
n a recent trek to SPQR, the restau-
rant, not the government of the
ancient Roman Republic, I noticed
quite a few changes to Fillmore Street. Its
always been an interested and underrated
part of the city
and seems to
have seen a bit of
a renaissance as
rents rise, hip-
sters catch wind
and the home
pickle makers
move in.
But the pickle
makers (my term
for crafty hip-
sters) seemed to
have taken it a
bit far, in my
humble opinion.
Everywhere you look, you are saturated with
shops, restaurants and cafes with something
either artisan or artisanal, which would be
by denition, something made by a skilled
manual laborer or craftsperson. Its not be
confused with artesian, which is a type of
aquifer named after the former province of
Artois in France. But give that some time to
gain traction as a cool crafty product adjec-
tive.
But I digress. A Fillmore burger restaurant
features artisan burgers, which I assume
means the patties were formed by a crafts-
man or skilled laborer of sorts who really
knows their way around such an activity.
Maybe the craft is in how it is cooked, or
compiled with the typical, or not-so-typical,
accoutrements for such a piece of ground
meat. Or maybe its in the attitude of the
server, and the tattoos on the guy behind the
grill. Whatever it is, it seems to add about $4
to the price of what is really a burger on a
bun.
There is also a yogurt shop that features
artisanal yogurt, meaning, I suppose that it
was made by hand, and not some devil
machine. This particular place, called
Fraiche, thats French for fresh for those who
may not recall, has from scratch, in-house
yogurt packed full of all the right kinds of
culture you might need for a night out. I did-
nt try it, after all, there was the cheese plate
from SPQR for dessert, but it looked mighty
bright and clean, fresh even.
But whatever happened to our culture that
purveyors had to proudly present the fact that
they make things by hand? Cant something
just be good? If its made well, perhaps from
scratch and in-house, cant it gather cus-
tomers on those characteristics alone without
having to boast its artistry or craftmanship?
Using this rationale, cant a hand-rolled
burrito from the Mission be considered arti-
san? The term has lost its meaning. After all,
you can buy pre-packaged artisan food at
Safeway. Its also like the term rustic. It is
usually a term to dene something hearty
and pastoral, perhaps braised. Like some-
thing that would be served from a hearth in
an Italian village by a woman with sturdy
hands and a threadbare but quaint apron. Or
it could mean something old-fashioned but
still good. Either way, its an odd identier
for food, yet still something that seems to be
catch-all for good nowadays.
Ill take SPQR. Its good. And I assume
everything there is hand-made by someone
who knows what they are doing. It doesnt
profess to be artisan or artisanal, though the
menu is a devil to understand since Im fairly
certain the chef decides to look up obscure
Italian pasta names based on how it might ll
out the line on the menu. But at least it gives
you a chance to talk to the server at length
through a series of inquiries while you
decide if you really want your primi and sec-
ondi rst and second and spend about two
hours there. Aside from the menus slight
irtation with ostentation, the food speaks
for itself. Now thats craftmanship.

NEW YORK It came oh so close.
The Dow Jones industrial average
came within 15 points of its all-time
high Thursday afternoon. But the
momentum petered out, and the Dow
and other indexes broke a two-day win-
ning streak and closed lower.
Economic data and company reports
reected an economy beating investors
low expectations, rather than one grow-
ing like gangbusters. Impending govern-
ment budget cuts also cast a pall for
some investors.
There was no dramatic, great news,
said Leon LaBrecque, CEO of LJPR in
Troy, Mich. Theres no remarkable eco-
nomic information. Earnings are pretty
much mixed.
The day started with the stock market
plodding along before sending investors
on a whipsaw day. After gaining a com-
bined 291 points on Tuesday and
Wednesday, the Dow spent Thursday
morning darting between small gains
and losses.
It took a decisive turn upward in the
early afternoon. Around 2:30 p.m. EST,
it hit 14,149 just 15 points from the
Oct. 9, 2007 record of 14,164.53.
Then the rally sputtered and stocks
turned lower in the nal few minutes of
trading.
The Dow ended down 20.88 points, or
0.2 percent, to 14,054.49. The Standard
& Poors 500 index slipped 1.31, or 0.09
percent, to 1,514.68. The Nasdaq com-
posite index edged down 2.07, or 0.07
percent, to 3,160.19.
Some said the markets eeting gain
Thursday was more about its general
tendency to rise over time, and not nec-
essarily a reection of a surge in strength
for the U.S. economy.
People have to separate the economy
from the stock market, said Ed
Butowsky, managing partner of
ChapwoodFinance.com in Dallas.
Thursdays data didnt provide a clear
picture on the economy.
Company earnings were mixed. J.C.
Penney and Barnes & Noble posted loss-
es. Wendys and Dominos had higher
prots. The U.S. economy grew at an
annual rate of 0.1 percent in the last
three months of 2012 better than the
original estimate of a 0.1 percent
decline, but hardly robust. The number
of Americans seeking unemployment
aid fell, and the government prepared for
federal spending cuts to kick in Friday, a
result of Democrats and Republicans not
compromising on the budget debate.
Dow edges near record, then sputters down
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Thursday on the New
York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
J.C. Penney Co. Inc., down $3.59 at $17.57
The mid-priced department store chain reported another larger-than-

WASHINGTON As economic policy
goes, experts say, the automatic spending cuts
that kick in Friday are to use a technical
term bone-headed.
Fortunately, the self-inicted wound isnt
going to leave a deep scar on an economy that
is otherwise looking pretty good. Its a scal
speed-bump on the road to economic recov-
ery, which is why the stock market is nearing
an all-time high despite Washingtons latest
display of legislative paralysis.
Thats a marked change from the past two
years, when budget battles rattled consumer
and business condence and triggered big
selloffs.
Businesses and consumers have begun to
look away from the histrionics and the battles
going on in Washington, says Bernard
Baumohl, chief global economist at the
Economic Outlook Group. Theyre begin-
ning to realize that organic growth in the pri-
vate economy is beginning to pick up speed.
From Wall Street to Main Street, Americans
are too busy spending, hiring and investing to
panic over Washingtons latest budgetary
melodrama.
Theyve seen this movie before. And this
time, the ending doesnt scare them.
Even with Fridays trigger date for the cuts
drawing near, Americans have been pouring
money into the stock market. The Dow Jones
industrial average has jumped nearly 8 per-
cent this year and is approaching a record
high.
Consumers are also growing more con-
dent. And last month, orders for U.S. factory
goods that reflect companies investment
plans surged by the most in more than a year.
It showed that more businesses have become
more upbeat about their prospects.
Only 27 percent of Americans surveyed for
a Pew Research Center/USA Today poll last
week said they had heard a lot about the
looming spending cuts. And according to a
Washington Post poll conducted late last
month, less than a third of Americans said
they thought the cuts would have a big impact
on their own nances.
Why less concern this time?
The stakes arent nearly as high as they
were two months ago, when lawmakers
engaged in a budget standoff over the so-
called scal cliff. Economists had warned that
the cliffs tax increases and spending cuts
would send the economy back into recession
if they remained in place for much of 2013.
By contrast, no one is talking about a reces-
sion this time, no matter what Congress does
or doesnt do. The nancial squeeze will be
milder. And it will be delayed.
For one thing, the cuts are smaller than they
seem: Actual spending will likely drop $44
billion in the budget year that ends Sept. 30,
according to the Congressional Budget.
Thats only slightly more than 1 percent of
federal spending.
Of that, about 80 percent will come from
discretionary programs, which includes
everything from environmental protection
to defense spending. The rest will come
from Medicare and other entitlement pro-
grams.
A sturdier U.S. economy can withstand budget cuts

NEW YORK Gap Inc. reported a 61
percent increase in fourth-quarter prots
on Thursday, capping a strong year that
saw the companys turnaround take hold.
The San Francisco-based company,
which operates stores under its name-
sake, Banana Republic and Old Navy
brands, also said that its raising its
annual dividend to 60 cents from 50
cents per share for the current year. The
company offered a muted prot outlook.
Shares rose in after-hours trading.
The companys latest performance,
which includes the critical holiday peri-
od, shows how the companys efforts to
push brightly colored fashions, new
designer collaborations and lively mar-
keting campaigns are helping to invigor-
ate sales after struggling for years to
reclaim its fashion status.
At the end of the day, we are looking
at the consumer and saying we have to
continue to give her reasons to buy, Gap
CEO Glenn Murphy told investors dur-
ing a conference call. If youre going to
win in this environment, doing the same
thing all over again is not a winning
strategy. We have to bring more and
more uniqueness, differentiation and
excitement to the business.
Among the recent standouts, says
Murphy, were what Old Navy marketed
as rock star jeans, denim leggings.
Gap earned $351 million, or 73 cents
per share, in the quarter ended Feb. 2.
That compares with $218 million, or 44
cents per share, a year earlier.
Revenue rose 10 percent to $4.73 bil-
lion in the period.

Medicare paid $5.1B for poor nursing home care
SAN FRANCISCO Medicare paid billions in taxpayer
dollars to nursing homes nationwide that were not meeting
basic requirements to look after their residents, government
investigators have found.
The report, released Thursday by the Department of Health
and Human Services inspector general, said Medicare paid
about $5.1 billion for patients to stay in skilled nursing facili-
ties that failed to meet federal quality of care rules in 2009, in
some cases resulting in dangerous and neglectful conditions.
One out of every three times patients wound up in nursing
homes that year, they landed in facilities that failed to follow
basic care standards laid out by the federal agency that admin-
isters Medicare, investigators estimated.
The elderly and other patients who need daily help from a
nurse or therapist typically are sent to skilled nursing facili-
ties, which can get reimbursed by the government for much of
the care they provide.
Apple says iTunes U downloads top 1 billion
CUPERTINO Apple says people have downloaded
more than 1 billion items from iTunes U, which features free
books, lectures and other information from schools, libraries
and museums around the world.
Apple Inc. said Thursday that there are now single iTunes U
courses with more than 250,000 students enrolled in them.
Eddy Cue, senior vice president of Internet software and serv-
ices, calls this a phenomenal shift in the way we teach and
learn.
Apple says more than 1,200 universities and 1,200 K-12
schools host courses on iTunes U. Stanford University in Palo
Alto and The Open University, an online learning center based
in the U.K., each had more than 60 million pieces of content
downloaded.

SAN FRANCISCO Google plans
to cling to its bulging stash of cash to
pay for potential acquisitions and other
technology investments that might boost
future profits, a top executive said
Thursday.
Patrick Pichette, who oversees Google
Inc.s bank accounts as the companys
chief financial officer, explained the
companys rationale for hoarding $48
billion in cash during a technology con-
ference hosted by Morgan Stanley.
It serves the shareholder best to actu-
ally have that strategic ability to pounce
when there is the opportunity to make a
major acquisition, Pichette said.
Although he didnt identify possible
takeover candidates for the future,
Pichette cited Googles $12.4 billion
acquisition of cellphone maker
Motorola Mobility last year as a prime
example of why the company believes it
needs to have lots of money at its dis-
posal.
Google clings to cash for acquisitions, says CFO

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Jon Garland felt a
little out of place at the beginning before set-
tling in and relying on what he knows best.
Garland pitched for the rst time in nearly
20 months, Franklin Gutierrez and Nick
Franklin hit home runs and the Seattle
Mariners won their sixth straight, beating the
San Francisco Giants 4-3 on Thursday.
It was a little weird, Garland said. But it
felt good to get out there for a true game situ-
ation. Ive done my throwing and my bullpens
but I have not been out there with umpires and
guys in uniforms for a long time.
Garland was 1-5 with a 4.33 ERA in just
nine starts for the Los Angeles Dodgers before
labrum and rotator cuff surgery ended his
2011 season in July. He tried to make it back
last year with Cleveland but suffered compli-
cations.
There was definitely more adrenaline
going than usual, Garland said. I really just
wanted to come out of it healthy. I felt good
about my pitches and how I was throwing.
Justin Smoak collected two more hits and
drove in a run for the Mariners. Alex Liddi
also drove in a run as Seattle matched its
longest spring win streak since 2004.
Brandon Belt had two hits, including a
homer, and scored both runs for the Giants,

League Soccers latest expansion into a soc-
cer-crazy market or about which aging
European star is bringing his game to

On the surface, the 2013 MLS season that

because of its stability.
But this year begins a new chapter, focused
on developing the quality of play and continu-
ing to raise the prole of a league that ofcials
hope will become among the planets elite
within 10 years.
There is no reason that in time Major
League Soccer cant be competitive with the
worlds best, MLS commissioner Don Garber
said. Its going to take a lot of hard work and
continued investment.
The season begins Saturday with
Philadelphia hosting Kansas City. Thatll be
followed by a Canadian showdown with
Vancouver hosting Toronto, Houston vs. DC
United, FC Dallas vs. Colorado, Chivas USA
vs. Columbus and Seattle vs. Montreal.
Sunday, defending champion Los Angeles

Andres Torres out for
a week with strained oblique
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. San Francisco
outelder Andres Torres wont play for Puerto
Rico in the World
Baseball Classic and will
be sidelined for at least a
week because of a
strained oblique.
The Giants made the
announcement Thursday,
a day after he got hurt dur-
ing a swing and had an
MRI.
The 35-year-old Torres
helped San Francisco win the World Series in
2010 and rejoined the Giants in December. He
also has played for the Detroit Tigers, Texas
Rangers and New York Mets.
Left-hander Jose Mijares, who was to play
for Venezuela, will miss the WBC due to sore-
ness in his pitching elbow. He gave up two
runs in an inning Wednesday against the Los
Angeles Angels.
Javier Vazquez out
of WBC with knee injury
NEW YORK Javier Vazquez will not
pitch for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball
Classic.
Agent Seth Levinson said Thursday that the
36-year-old right-hander had surgery to repair
a torn meniscus in his right knee.
Levinson says Vazquez still plans to travel
with the team, which plays the Dominican
Republic, Spain and Venezuela in Group C
starting March 7.
Vazquez last pitched in the major leagues in
2011, when he went 13-11 with a 3.69 ERA in
32 starts for the Marlins.

Andres Torres
MESA, Ariz. Announced as Oaklands
opening-day starter before the game, Brett
Anderson allowed one hit in two scoreless
innings Thursday in the Athletics 5-3 loss to
the Chicago Cubs.
The 25-year-old left-hander, 4-2 with a 2.57
ERA in six starts last year after he recovered
from elbow surgery, will be opposed by
Seattles Felix Hernandez in the April 1
matchup at Oakland.
Anderson said manager Bob Melvin gave
him the news a day earlier.
It sounded like he wanted to hug, but I am
not going to jump up and down and things like
that, the pitcher said. If he wants one Ill
give him one, but I wont go out of my way.
Anderson struck out one and walked none
in his rst outing of spring training.
I was healthy, so that is step one, whether I
gave up eight runs or zero like I did today,
Anderson said. It was good to continue to get
ground balls on early contact. I felt good and
threw my pitches for strikes.
Melvin said Andersons dedication during
rehabilitation last year is an indication of what
a No. 1 starter is about.
Based on the guys that we have and how
successfully he came back for us last year, we
really feel like hes the man to lead the staff,
Melvin said. He worked hard to get back and
put himself in a position to compete with us at
a time of the season where theres no easing
into things. You got to be good right away, and
he was. Then he gets hurt (oblique) and we
think hes done, and he works just as hard to
get back and pitch in a playoff game.
In his rst appearance for the Cubs after
leaving Texas as a free agent, Scott Feldman
gave up one run and two hits in two innings
with two strikeouts and two walks.
It got the butteries going again and it was
nice to get that one out of the way, Feldman
said. For the most part, I was executing my
pitches fairly well. For the rst time out it was
ne.
Derek Norris hit a fourth-inning home run
off Travis Wood, his second home run of
spring training. Michael Choice had had two
hits, including a second-inning triple that fol-
lowed a walk to Norris.
Darnell McDonald had two hits for the
Cubs, including an RBI double in the fth
against Jordan Norberto. Cuban prospect
Jorge Soler had a single and showed off his
arm when he threw out the As Josh Reddick
at third base from right eld in the rst inning.
That was about as good of throw as you
can make, Feldman said. I think Reddick
kind of had a look of shock on his face.
Brett Anderson to start opener for Oakland
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Ryan Vogelsong
has a little running joke that he is going to
plunk San Francisco teammate Pablo
Sandoval in the World Baseball Classic to
keep the Panda from a three-homer game like
the one he produced in Game 1 of the World
Series last fall.
Sandoval plans to play nice once he pulls on
the Venezuela uniform.
Hes my teammate, I dont want to ght,
Sandoval said with a smile.
Both know the team to beat: Two-time
WBC winner Japan.
Joe Torre is returning to the top step of the
dugout to manage the Americans, who have
yet to even reach the championship game of
this hugely popular international event played
every three years.
Team USA has plenty of motivation to
make up for two poor showings in this tourna-
ment. The Americans didnt get out of the sec-
ond round in 2009, then lost in the seminals
to Japan three years ago. Now, they are mak-
ing plans to reach the seminals and nal at
San Franciscos AT&T Park.
Well probably be disappointed if we dont
make it to San Francisco, said Vogelsong,
slated to be the No. 2 starter in the U.S. rota-
tion. First and foremost, were focused on
getting there.
The Japanese topped Cuba in the inaugural
Classic in 2006, then South Korea three years
later. Japan is known for its rigorous spring
trainings, which typically begin a couple of
weeks before the major league clubs and fea-
ture all-day workouts with just a short break to
eat.
Its such a dedicated group of players. I go
back to going over to Japan as a member of
the Mets back in 74 and just noticing and at
that time I didnt think necessarily that the
Japanese could play at our level, maybe
stature-wise, Torre recalled. Even though
their game was clean and disciplined, it just
didnt look like they were as good as we were.
Thats certainly has changed.

But do yourself a favor and forget every-
thing you remember about that game
from the score to the statistics to the guys on
the bench because two and half months
later, with a CCS title on the line, only the
names on the front of the jerseys are the same.
And even those might be in a different col-
ored typeface.
When the ball is tipped 8 p.m. at Foothill
College Friday night, two more seasoned, bat-
tle-tested squads will take to the oor. The
Cougars come in a 22-win team that upset No.
1 seed Seaside and the reigning DIV champi-
on Gators of Sacred Heart Prep en route to the
championship game. And the Menlo Knights
havent lost since Jan. 4. To say theyre red-
hot is an understatement.
Its a great thing for us, said Menlo head
coach Delandro LeDay of the Knights 15-
game winning streak. We understand ...
were rolling right now and the other thing is,
we havent peaked yet and thats the scary
part of our team. We won the last 15 but were
still getting better, there are still some things
we can do to get better, to clean up and hope-
fully [Friday] well do that.
Were playing with more condence, said
Half Moon Bay head coach Rich Forslund.
Our depth is better. Weve been doing a bet-
ter job of rebounding the ball and I think
thats going to play a key role in this game,
limiting their shot opportunities. Its going to
be a physical game. A tough game. Im look-
ing forward to it.
Friday marks a return to the title game for
the Cougars after losing in the 2012 version to
Sacred Heart Prep 53-44. But even that team
is much different than the current squad the
Cougars lost all ve seniors from last years
team and only ve had any varsity experience
to begin the season. Half Moon Bay last cap-
tured a CCS title in 1996.
For the Cougars, the championship chances
rest on their ability to be consistent for 32
minutes of basketball. When ring on all
cylinders, the Half Moon Bay offense, led on
the interior by Rico Nuno and on the perime-
ter by Corey Cilia, is nearly unstoppable and
a beautiful thing to watch. But mental lapses
are the Cougars Achilles heel that and
careless unforced turnovers.
Thats kind of been our mantra down the
stretch, Forslund said. We have to do a bet-
ter of job of sustaining our game plan for
longer periods of time. Were a young team,
so well still have lapses. But we have to limit
them.
Boxing out, LeDay said, when asked how
the Knights hope to stop the Cougars. We
have to rebound. We have to rebound on the
defensive end. Our job is to make sure we dis-
rupt the timing as much as possible. Thats the
major thing for us. If we can do those two
things well tomorrow, then I think that will
give us a chance.
LeDay knows the Knights dont see too
many teams with the physicality of Half
Moon Bay. But he said teams like Woodside
Priory and Sacred Heart Prep are similar in
style and have prepared his team mentality for
Fridays game.
Offensively, were spreading the ball
around, LeDay said. Defensively, were
started to understand that we can really play
defense. We can really get after teams. Thats
really been the key for us starting to pick
up the nuances on offense. I always tell our
guys, I need ball players. Not robots.
Menlos three-headed offensive monster of
Bobby Roth, Jack Heneghan and Ryan Young
will be key on Friday. But dont overlook the
play of young Liam Dunn who has stepped up
his game considerably in these CCS playoffs
from 6.2 points per game during the regu-
lar season to 12.5 in the post.
When were at full strength, were good,
LeDay said. Were good and were tough to
beat. We talk about legacy. We talk about the
seniors who are graduating, what kind of lega-
cy do you want to leave?

In those games, Woodside has compiled a
13-3 record, compared to just a 2-7 mark by
the Panthers. Granted, Presentation has played
a tougher schedule than Woodside, simply
based on the fact the Panthers play in the
much tougher West Catholic Athletic League.
But that shouldnt take away the success the
Wildcats have enjoyed this season.
In their last seven games, Woodside has
gone 5-2, but their last ve wins have come by
a combined total of 23 points, which averages
less than ve points per game. Since losing
48-36 to Westmoor in the Peninsula Athletic
League seminals, the Panthers have run off
two straight CCS Division II tournament
games by a total of 11 points beating No.3
Westmont 50-49 and Westmoor 50-40.
Presentation has been up and down this
year, but thats what happens when a team
plays in the West Catholic Athletic League.
The Panthers went only 4-8 in WCAL play
this season and 10-15 overall, the Panthers
have learned how to compete against the top
teams in the Central Coast Section.

you, there is very little the two schools
dont know about each other. So while
there will be plenty of suspense when
the ball gets tossed up at center court at
5:30 p.m., there will be very little mys-
tery.
Fridays game marks the seventh time
in CCS championship game history the
two schools have faced each other with
a title on the line the Gators lead that
series 4-2.
But since moving to the West Bay
Athletic League for the 2008-09 season,
its the Knights who hold a 5-4 advan-
tage. Whichever way you choose to slice
it, Fridays battle for the CCS title prom-
ises to be tight all way through the
two regular season matchups this year
were decided by a combined ve points.
After a strong start to the season,
Menlo was shocked by the Gators on
Jan. 15, 48-47. It was a game that
Melissa Holland went off for 29 points
and the teams were tied at halftime.
In that win, SHP held a red-hot Drew
Edelman to just 17 points and 15
rebounds the latter stat being the
most important given that the Gators
were only out-rebounded by four
against a team with much more size.
Sacred Heart Prep head coach Ann
Tafolla said rebounding will be monu-
mental come Friday night.
The key to Fridays game is to man-
age Drew on the inside as best we can
to manage both their bigs in the paint
and that we box out, she said. Make
sure they get one shot up and thats it
and that we push the ball and do what
we need to do on the offensive end.
Less than a month later, the Knights
showed the Gators what happens if they
dont limit second-chance points.
Edelman went off. She scored 25
points and pulled down 17 rebounds and
Menlo won the rebounding battle 39-25.
Edelmans rebounding allowed players
like Maddie Price to have a double-digit
scoring game (13 points, 4 rebounds)
and the Knights won 52-48.
Prep, whos gunning for their 12th
CCS title in 20 championship appear-
ances, isnt intimidated by Menlos
superior size and assures they have the
repower, at 44.3 points per game, to
stay with the Knights.
We just need to get our best shot,
Tafolla said. Our offensive style, we
dont necessarily have a problem getting
shots off just, making sure its the
best shot and that were set, were ready
and we take good balanced shots. That
we dont force anything and get down to
a 9, 8, 7, 6 seconds left and throw some-
thing up.
So far this postseason, Melissa
Holland has been held in relative check.
Whats been big for the Gators is the
play of players like Caroline Cummings,
Meaghan Holland and Helen Gannon
who have all picked up the offensive
slack.
With a balanced attack, any one of
my kids [can score] and thats the beau-
ty of my team at this point. Obviously,
Melissa is a big threat, but weve had a
couple kids have big games for us,
Tafolla said. Its really spread out. So,
as long as were getting open shots, we
should be ne.
For the Knights, a win on Friday
means championship number ve. This
will be their 10th title game appearance
and their rst since 2002. Ironically
enough, 2002 was also the last time the
Gators won a CCS title that win
came against the Knights.

who are winless in their last ve games.
Brandon Crawford and Cole Gillespie
also drove in runs.
Garland was satised with a brief out-
ing in which he allowed a hit and walked
one in one inning.
To a certain extent I felt that was
where I belonged, Garland said. I felt
good about that.
Garlands impressive resume includes
two 18-win seasons (2005, 2006) for the
Chicago White Sox. He has won at least
12 games seven times and pitched at least
200 innings in six seasons. He has a 132-
119 record with a 4.32 ERA in 330 starts.
Smoak is hitting .583 this spring with
six RBIs.
Giants ace Matt Cain lasted three
innings, giving up three runs on four hits.
He walked one and struck out two.
Everything felt good, Cain said. I
was inconsistent with my location. I was
a little bit out of rhythm and Ill need to
work on that.
Cain said he declined an invitation to
play with Team USA because of the way
the Giants season played out last year
and throwing an excess of pitches.
GIANTS
New England has a bye the rst week of the season, while
Seattle, Los Angeles and Houston have byes in Week 2 while
participating in the CONCACAF Champions League.
For the rst time since 2005, expansion is not a story line.
After successful entries into Houston, Toronto, San Jose,
Seattle, Philadelphia, Portland, Vancouver and Montreal, the
league is standing rm at 19 teams. MLS wants its 20th team
to be in New York, although there is an increased effort in
Orlando that could eventually lead to the league lling a geo-
graphic hole in the Southeast.
I think they remain a very good potential MLS ownership
group and Orlando is an intriguing market, Garber said.
Instead of expansion, the talk entering the season is invest-
ment. The league announced Wednesday its intensions to raise
the quality of play and infrastructure to make MLS one of the
worlds top leagues by the ambitious date of 2022. The goal
was originally supposed to coincide with a successful World
Cup bid. The U.S. wont be hosting that tournament Qatar
will but MLS is sticking with its plan.
There are other leagues taking notice of the improved qual-
ity in the league in recent seasons. Geoff Cameron left MLS
for Englands Premier League in August, followed by Brek
Shea and Roger Espinoza during the January transfer window,
and Kei Kamara is on loan to Norwich until early May.
Cameron and Shea joined fellow Americans Clint Dempsey,
Tim Howard, Brad Guzan and Brad Friedel, among those who
left MLS for the EPL years earlier.
While the depth of players is arguably at its peak, there are
no obvious favorites entering the 2013 season.
Los Angeles starts the year seeking to become the rst team
to win three straight MLS Cup titles, but its roster will have a
different look than the one that hoisted the title last December.

SPORTS 15
By Dan Gelston
Lauren Silberman has scant
chance at making the NFL.
Silberman never kicked anything
more than a soccer ball in an organ-
ized game and she just started prac-
ticing long-range eld goals.
Even so, the rst female kicker
scheduled to try out at an NFL
regional scouting combine would
like to see where her new hobby will
take her. In an era where Danica
Patrick can contend against men in
motor sports, Silberman is about to
take a big kick forward for female
athletes, even if the odds are clearly
stacked against her. The 28-year-old
Silberman will kick Sunday at the
New York Jets training facility in
Florham Park, N.J.
I realize that I may not make an
NFL team this year, Silberman told
NFL.com. But for me, Im expect-
ing to have fun, to meet really inter-
esting people and hopefully perfect
my technique from the other
tremendous kickers that will be in
attendance.
Her goal for the weekend is a true
long shot: perfect 60-yard field
goals.
Odds are, though, that scouts will
want to see her connect on extra
points and chip-shot eld goals with
some consistency before moving on
to the heavy kicking.
Silberman will compete against
more accomplished or polished col-
lege kickers, all hoping to prove
they have the leg strength and accu-
racy worthy of earning an invite to
an NFL training camp. St. Louis
Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein partici-
pated in a regional combine last
year before he was drafted and mor-
phed into Legatron.
Cincinnati Bengals special teams
coach Darrin Simmons said teams
look for several things specically
when judging kickers in these situa-
tions. The most important is leg
strength, followed by accuracy on
eld goals over 40 yards, and how
they did on clutch kicks in college.
When rating field goals, the
deepest we test at the combine is a
50-yard eld goal. Theres not many
attempts over 55 yards. We dont
practice kicks much deeper than that
rarely do we do them, Simmons
said. You can tell after watching a
50-yard eld goal how far the ball
goes over the crossbar if they can hit
from 55. Theyve got to be able to
hit from 55. On kickoffs, theyve got
to be able to get the ball out of the
back of the end zone.
Silberman wont be kicking
against the best of the sure-footed
prospects, but there will be talent on
hand regardless. The regional com-
bines debuted in 2011, and feature
players who werent among the 333
invited to the main combine in
Indianapolis. So no rst-round picks
are likely to show; only potential,
hidden, undrafted gems or late-
round risks. The league is holding
these sessions in 10 cities this off-
season, with the most impressive
players advancing to a super-region-
al in April in Dallas. Its sort of the
sports version of a TV reality show,
where each hit and tackle can wow a
scout and move a player on to the
next round. Only instead of a
recording contract, its an NFL one.

If you liked The Hangover
but felt like it needed more
projectile vomit, stampeding
buffaloes and naughty sorority
pledges being spanked, then
21 & Over is the feel-good,
feel-bad movie for you.
The writers of that 2009
smashed smash hit, Jon Lucas
and Scott Moore, wrote the
script here, too, and direct for
the rst time. Comparatively,
it is simultaneously amped-up
and slapped together. It is both
younger and dumber but also
even more equal opportunity
in choosing its targets; the
same people who get tooled
on also rise up and enjoy a
certain amount of empower-
ment.
Sometimes this balancing act
works and sometimes it does-
nt. 21 & Over is at its best
when its riding an all-night,
boozy high, when it captures a
sensation of idiotic invincibil-
ity. When it tries to be about
something growing up and
being responsible but still
maintaining the fun and
friendships of youth it feels
a bit strained.
While comparisons to The
Hangover are inevitable, 21
& Over is actually reminis-
cent of a different and specic
kind of movie: the early Vince
Vaughn-Jon Favreau romp.
The charismatic Miles Teller
(Rabbit Hole, Project X)
as Miller functions as the
Vaughn figure, all swagger
and snappy banter. Likably
low-key Skylar Astin (Pitch
Perfect) as Casey is more
self-effacing and cautious as
Favreau has been.
At the center of their push-
pull is their mutual childhood
best friend, Jeff Chang (Justin
Chon of the Twilight
movies), whom they always
refer to as Jeff Chang, as in
Did we just kill Jeff Chang?
While theyve all gone their

Princess Diana wore it on state visits, at royal banquets, and
most memorably to a gala dinner at the White House in 1985
when she took to the dance oor with Hollywood star John
Travolta. The Victor Edelstein gown will go under the hammer
at a vintage fashion auction in London in March, along with
nine other of Dianas lavish evening dresses. In total, Kerry
Taylor Auctions say the sale is expected to raise more than
800,000 pounds (US$1.2 million.)
The dresses, all in the signature 1980s look padded
shoulders, puffed sleeves, crushed velvet are snapshots in
the princesss glamorous, jet-setting life.
One Catherine Walker long-sleeved gown in sea-green
sequins was worn to a grand Vienna theater; a burgundy velvet
gown with a plunging back, by the same designer, was paired
with the Spencer tiara on a visit to Canberra, Australia; and a
black, beaded velvet gown, also by Walker, was worn in 1997
for a Vanity Fair photo shoot by Mario Testino.
But the most celebrated item was the Edelstein gown with
off-the-shoulder straps, which Diana chose for her and Prince
Charles rst joint visit to the White House.

The city most recently sent a letter to Patel
Feb. 14 notifying him of the delinquent pay-
ments.
We emphasize that the transient occupancy
taxes are paid to your hotel by each transient
and is considered a debt owed to the city of
San Mateo. Your hotel has been negligent in
its obligation to remit to the city the tax that
your hotel has already collected, according to
a letter sent to Patel from San Mateo Finance
Director David Culver.
When called directly by the Daily Journal
yesterday to discuss the case, Patel hung up
the phone without commenting.
The hotel owes the city nearly $42,000 in
taxes from December; $46,000 in November;
$50,000 in October; $7,000 in September; and
about $3,600 in July, according to the com-
plaint.
Our ofce has sent several letters, most
recently Jan. 10, 2013, to notify your hotel of
the need to report and remit the required hotel
taxes and to advise that further action would
be taken if payments are not made timely. It is
evident that our numerous efforts to alert your
hotel to the seriousness of your violations of
the municipal code have not been successful,
Culver wrote in the letter to Patel.
Patel will have to notify the city within 10
days as to whether he will seek a hearing
regarding the tax assessment or decide instead
to face a judge.
It is uncommon for the city to have to le a
complaint to collect the tax. It has been done
once before in the last ve years, according to
the City Attorneys Ofce.
TAXES
separate ways for college, Jeffs 21st birth-
day brings them back together again or
rather, Miller and Casey just show up at
Jeffs university to take him out for a wild
celebration.
But Jeff has a medical school interview at
8 a.m. the next day, arranged for him by his
ridiculously demanding and stern father
(Francois Chau) who insists that he join the
family tradition and become a doctor, too.
Clearly, Jeff Chang isnt going to make it.
What starts out as just one beer ha ha
becomes many beers, and shots, and a
mechanical bull ride, and random make-out
sessions. And thats just the beginning. The
getting-hammered montage is actually a kick
as the trio hops from one campus bar to the
next (21 & Over was filmed at the beauti-
ful University of Washington), giving us a
glimpse of how these disparate guys could
have been best pals in the first place.
If the entire movie was one big drunkfest,
though, it would be a little monotonous and
redundant. There are only so many drinking
games in the world. Lucas and Moore try to
balance the raunchiness with reality, as the
friends struggle to figure out what to do with
their lives once the buzz and college
are over. These segments dont feel nearly as
well thought-out and the tonal shifts can be
a little jarring, but the actors always have a
nice camaraderie with each other.
And in the end, everyone gets a chance to
shine, or at least enjoy a little revenge: the
Latina sorority girls and the Asian field
hockey player and the weird, hairy resident
assistant and the drugged-out homeless guy
in the Native American headdress and yes,
even Jeff Chang.

to put the cuts into effect.
So entrenched were the two parties that the
Senate chaplain, Barry Black, opened the days
session with a prayer that beseeched a higher
power to intervene.
Rise up, O God, and save us from our-
selves, he said of cuts due to take effect some-
time on Friday.
The immediate impact of the reductions on
the public was uncertain, and the administration
pulled back on its earlier warnings of long lines
developing quickly at airports and teacher lay-
offs affecting classrooms.
On the Senate oor, a Republican proposal
requiring Obama to propose alternative cuts that
would cause less disruption in essential govern-
ment services fell to overwhelming Democratic
opposition, 62-38.
Moments later, a Democratic alternative to
spread the cuts over a decade and replace half
with higher taxes on millionaires and corpora-
tions won a bare majority, 51-49, but that was
well shy of the 60 needed to advance.
Republicans opposed it without exception.
In a written statement after the votes, Obama
lambasted Republicans. They voted to let the
entire burden of decit reduction fall squarely
on the middle class, he said.
He noted that he would meet with congres-
sional leaders from both parties at the White
House on Friday, but no one is expecting action
before the cuts begin taking effect. Obama said,
We can build on the over $2.5 trillion in decit
reduction weve already achieved, but doing so
will require Republicans to compromise. Thats
how our democracy works, and thats what the
American people deserve.
Said House Speaker John Boehner, the top
Republican in Congress: Obama and Senate
Democrats are demanding more tax hikes to
fuel more stimulus spending.
Though furloughs are a fear for some, espe-
cially certain federal workers, there is little sign
of business worry, let alone panic in the nation.
Stocks declined slightly for the day after trading
near record highs. And unlike the scal cliff
showdown of two months ago, there are no
deadlines for action to prevent tax increases
from hitting nearly every American.
Still, there was talk of crisis.
We have the opportunity to avoid the kind of
calamity and disaster that is being threatened
and is completely unnecessary, said Sen. Pat
Toomey of Pennsylvania, who co-authored the
Republican proposal.
The question is, are we going to achieve
these savings through badly designed spending
cuts that make no attempt whatever to distin-
guish between more sensible government
spending and less sensible spending?
Sen. Patty Murray of Washington said that
was precisely what Democrats had tried to do
by proposing the deferral of Pentagon cuts until
U.S. combat troops have come home from
Afghanistan in two years time.
At the same time, she said the Democrats had
reasonably proposed replacing half of the pend-
ing cuts with higher taxes on the wealthiest
Americans and biggest corporations.
In fact, the Democratic measure also included
small increases for a variety of small programs
such as biodiesel education, assistance for bio-
mass crops and certication of organic foods.
Boehner and House Republicans show no
hurry to alter the cuts, contending they provide
leverage with Obama in their demand for sav-
ings from government benet programs. Yet
they are expected to launch legislation next
week to replenish government coffers after cur-
rent funding expires on March 27, and that
measure could become a magnet for new
attempts to change Fridays sequester.
Already, some Republicans held out hope the
current struggle might lead to talks on complet-
ing work on the nal piece of a decit reduction
package that has been more than two agonizing
years in the making.
The objective here ought to be not just to
deal with sequester but to deal with the under-
lying spending problems, which require tax
reform as well as reform of benet programs
like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security,
said Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio.
Democratic senators emerged from a lunch
with Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and
top Pentagon ofcials and said the current cuts
could not be allowed to stand.
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said the session
had conrmed to him that as currently constitut-
ed, the cuts were a really, really dumb idea.
In a cycle of crisis followed by compromise
over the past two years, Obama and congres-
sional Republicans have agreed to more than
$3.6 trillion in long-term decit savings over a
decade.
None of the savings to date has come from the
big benet programs that lawmakers in both
parties say must be tackled if the country is to
gain control over its nances. Each party fears
the political fallout of confronting them on their
own, but Democrats, in particular, are reluctant
to scale back programs that they count as their
political birthright.

By Derrik J. Lang
LOS ANGELES Kristen Kish
doesnt need any more chances. Shes
the winner of Top Chef: Seattle.
The 28-year-old chef de cuisine at
Boston restaurant Stir was crowned
champion of the Bravo cooking compe-
tition Wednesday after facing off against
Brooke Williamson, the 34-year-old co-
executive chef of Los Angeles restau-
rants Hudson House and The Tripel.
I remember hearing my name and
turning my back to the judges for what
felt like ve minutes but what Im sure
was just ve seconds to compose myself
and take it all in, Kish said after win-
ning.
She had been eliminated from the
competition but won her spot on the 10th
season nale after besting ve previous-
ly eliminated contestants on the com-
panion web series Last Chance
Kitchen.
In the nale, Kish and Williamson pre-
pared a ve-course meal on the y as the
shows judges and a crowd of diners
watched.
The winning menu consisted of chick-
en liver mousse with frisee, mustard,
prune, hazelnuts and pumpernickel; cit-
rus and lavender cured scallop with bit-
ter orange, Meyer lemon and apple;
bone marrow with celery root puree,
mushrooms, bitter greens and radishes;
and red snapper with leeks, Little Gem
lettuce, tarragon, uni and shellsh nage.
At the end of the day, my cooking is
not super complicated, Kish said. My
goal for this menu was just to do simple,
good, elegant food with precision and
excellence, taking simple things like
chicken liver moose, bone marrow or a
piece of sh and executing them well.
Does the win mean Kish, who works
for chef Barbara Lynch, will follow in
the footsteps of past Top Chef cham-
pions and open her own restaurant?
Eventually, sure, I dont know, Kish
said. I want to let this TV thing settle
down in the coming months and see how
long I can last without it. Im lucky and
very thankful that Im working for an
amazing woman who inspires me every
day. I want to create my career and sus-
tain my career based off of my talents
and abilities, as opposed to being on tel-
evision.
Kristen Kish wins Top Chef: Seattle
Behind the scenes of
Top Chef: Seattle finale
By Derrik J. Lang
LOS ANGELES Kristen Kish made winning the Top
Chef: Seattle finale look easy.
In reality, preparing her five-course meal on the fly as the
Bravo cooking competitions judges and a crowd of diners
spectated from the sidelines was a non-stop endeavor requir-
ing several hours of preparation and some phony silver-
ware.
The 28-year-old chef de cuisine at Boston restaurant Stir
was crowned champion of the 10th season Wednesday and
took home the $125,000 grand prize after facing off against
Brooke Williamson, the 34-year-old co-executive chef of
Los Angeles restaurants Hudson House and The Tripel.
Kishs winning menu consisted of chicken liver mousse,
citrus and lavender cured scallop, bone marrow and red
snapper with leeks, Little Gem lettuce, tarragon, uni and
shellfish nage.
At the end of the day, my cooking is not super compli-
cated, Kish said after winning. My goal for this menu was
just to do simple, good, elegant food with precision and
excellence, taking simple things like chicken liver mousse,
bone marrow or a piece of fish and executing them well.
Heres a taste from behind the scenes of Kishs win at the
Top Chef finale filmed earlier this month:
Kish and Williamsons finale battle played out in less
than an hour on TV, but it actually lasted more like eight
hours. The cheftestants each had a set amount of time to
prepare each course, and an audio snafu delayed production
by an hour. However, the clock and the cooking never
stopped during the ongoing Iron Chef-like showdown.
Even when Kish and Williamson faced critiques from the
judges, their sous chefs were behind them readying the next
courses.
The portions for diners were much smaller than those the
judges devoured, and most of the crowd wasnt able to taste
both finalists dishes. Also, despite the presence of each
winner from the previous nine seasons, they didnt have a
say on who would join their ranks. (That was more intimi-
dating than anything, Kish later said. It was kind of com-
forting because they knew what we were going through, but
it was very intimidating because they can be some of the
harshest critics.)
While the massive kitchen stadium erected inside a Van
Nuys soundstage was impressive, the dining experience
itself was more like a picnic. Thats mostly because eaters
had to taste the finalists dishes with plastic flatware. Top
Chef executive producer Dave Serwatka said they often use
silver-toned plasticware instead of the real thing during
filming because it doesnt make clanging and scratching
noises that can be picked up by microphones.
Kish was selected as the winner before the final course,
but she still managed to serve her dessert: a lemony olive oil
cake.
Kristen Kishs winning menu consisted of chicken liver mousse with frisee,mustard,
prune, hazelnuts and pumpernickel; citrus and lavender cured scallop with bitter
orange,Meyer lemon and apple;bone marrow with celery root puree,mushrooms,
bitter greens and radishes; and red snapper with leeks,Little Gem lettuce,tarragon,
uni and shellsh nage.

Education.
Magee expressed hope that the lan-
guage of the bill could be changed but
even then there would be unknowns
about how the county would be allowed
to use the funds.
In the short term, local high school
districts have decisions to make since
spring is the time when students sign up
for classes in the fall.
On Wednesday, the Sequoia Union
High School District Board of Trustees
authorized staff to use $400,000 from
reserves to save the majority of the ROP
courses for the fall. Superintendent Jim
Lianides is hoping the bills language
can be altered before then to give the
county access to tax revenue. In the
meantime, Wednesdays decision allows
the district to plan for the fall and main-
tain most of the current offerings.
In the San Mateo Union High School
District, Assistant Superintendent of
Instruction Andy Parsons said the dis-
trict is planning to assume it will offer
the same courses next year as it does this
year. The offerings in the South San
Francisco Unied School District are
run through the county and will depend
on decisions made at that level.
ROP instructor Andrea Vizenor wor-
ries students will now miss out on an
opportunity to gain knowledge that they
can use right away both in school or in
internships that can lead to paid posi-
tions.
The San Mateo County Office of
Education Regional Occupational
Program covers 15 industry sectors and
58 career pathways, according to the
program website. Vizenor works within
the Hospitality, Tourism and Recreation
Career Pathway, which allows teens to
learn about the industry then participate
in an internship. Some of those intern-
ships lead to a job. Regardless, teens are
learning a skill that they can put to use to
nd a career or, at the very least, gain
experience that can be used in the future.
Such programs, Vizenor said, engage
students in real-world learning opportu-
nities while also motivating them.
Seeing skills they learn in school applied
to real-life situations at work often give
students that light bulb moment, she
said, adding many of her students also
grow in condence.
Locally, the problem starts with how
ROP is funded.
The San Mateo County Office of
Education is an excess property tax
county. Meaning, like a basic aid dis-
trict, the county Ofce of Educations
property taxes are more than the states
per pupil allocation. Unlike a basic aid
district, the county Ofce of Education
is not allowed to spend that extra cash
except when specically allowed under
Californias Education Code. In the cur-
rent school year, SMCOE spent $4.5
million on ROP/Career Technical
Education programs and directed $1.5
million of that to support districts as they
continue to build their Career Technical
Education programs.
As a result, the state hasnt needed to
allocate money to support ROP in San
Mateo County. Other county ofces of
education, which received payments for
the program in previous years, will con-
tinue to under the plan. However, if
passed, Browns plan will repeal the
education code effectively barring the
San Mateo County Ofce of Education
from using this money to fund regional
occupational programs.
This funding model shift includes
some unintentional and negative impacts
that need to be considered as the lan-
guage is debated in the legislature. The
San Mateo County Ofce of Education
continues to experience restricted access
to excess property tax revenue, the elim-
ination of the ROP program causes an
immediate reduction in funding, and
although SMCOE is held harmless to
the other funds it receives, our Local
Control Funding Formula is far lower
than our current level of funding. If these
issues are not addressed or modied, the
SMCOE will not experience any
increase in funding for years to come,
said Magee.
ROP
Albert Korn.
Murders like this are the ones that
scare us the most because there was
nothing done by Mr. Korn that increased
his risk of harm at all. He was at home in
the middle of the day and there was
nothing to suggest he was exposed to the
kind of danger he encountered, prose-
cutor Morris Maya said after the verdict
was returned.
Hutchinson beat Korn so severely on
June 2, 2009, according to prosecution
experts, he lost teeth, blew out one pupil
and sustained massive blunt force trau-
ma to his head that led to a brain injury,
coma and eventual death after his family
removed him from life support.
Korn was inside his Hallmark Drive
home, awaiting the return of his adult
son who made a run to The Home Depot
for address numbers, when prosecutors
say Hutchinson broke through a window
with an intent to steal. Hutchinson had
been spotted wandering shirtless in the
neighborhood but Maya said its unclear
why he chose to walk to that part of
Belmont and enter the Korn residence.
He ransacked the bedroom and
encountered Korn in the ofce, beating
the man before looking through the
house some more. He ed in Korns
Jaguar with his wallet and jewelry while
Korn stumbled into the kitchen where
his son found him.
The Jaguar was found abandoned with
Hutchinsons DNA and fingerprints
inside and he was arrested in Yolo
County after a series of similar home
invasion robberies.
Hutchinsons defense attorney told
jurors in closing arguments Wednesday
that Korn may have been injured in a fall
like one hed had the year previous and
that the evidence linking his client to the
break-in was circumstantial. Attorney
Jim Thompson argued Maya was prey-
ing on the jurys emotions by calling
Hutchinson a savage and telling them
a lesser verdict like involuntary
manslaughter was an injustice.
The jury began an hour of delibera-
tions just after 3 p.m. Wednesday and at
10:30 a.m. Thursday announced it had
reached verdicts. Maya said the jurors he
spoke with after the verdict understood
the gravity of the case but were com-
pelled by the overwhelming evidence.
He also said Korns wife was very appre-
ciative of the verdict and glad to see her
husbands killer brought to justice.
Thompson said he was disappointed
in the verdict.
Sentencing is set for May 7 and Judge
Mark Forcum has no option other than
life in prison without parole.
Hutchinson also has a pending assault
case for an alleged attack on correction-
al ofcers in the county jail while await-
ing prosecution. Maya said those
charges may be dropped in the face of
Hutchinsons life sentence but a nal
decision has yet to be made by his ofce.
Prior to his trial for Korns murder,
Hutchinson was convicted of the Yolo
County robberies and sentenced to six
years and eight months in prison.
Hutchinson also spent time at Napa State
Hospital after being found mentally
incompetent.
Hutchinson remains in custody with-
out bail.

PisCEs (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Its best not to
discard traditional methods in order to experiment
with something new. Actually, working with known
qualities enhances your chances for success.
ariEs (March 21-April 19) -- As long as you stay
away from speculative ventures, this should be a
proftable day for you. Go out of your way to make
your bundle the old-fashioned way -- earn it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Dont allow a few
minor setbacks to diminish your hopes and
expectations. Any obstacle you encounter is likely to
be merely temporary, and easily overcome.
GEMini (May 21-June 20) -- Even if you cant totally
resolve some unwanted developments, you should
be able to lessen their impact. Besides, challenges
only stimulate your ingenuity.
CanCEr (June 21-July 22) -- Dont deny yourself
or those you love an unexpected pleasurable
encounter, even if it costs you a few bucks. The
happiness it engenders is worth the sacrifce.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Its imperative that you
study important situations very carefully. What
at frst appears to be unpleasant might contain
benefts that youll discover only after a close
inspection.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If youre too
materialistic, you might not be satisfed by the
results of your efforts. Look out for your interests,
but not by gouging another.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Funds could suddenly
become available to you for obtaining something
youve wanted but never thought you could afford.
How this unfolds could be rather mysterious.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Theres a chance
that you could be subjected to some frustrating
resistance from an individual who is usually
easygoing. It proves that everybody is human.
saGiTTarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- What works for
you might not work for someone else. Thus, ignore
any pessimistic opinions this person might express
about something or someone that you hold dear.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It behooves you
to try to do something different with a casual
acquaintance. Fresh personalities and encounters
will have a very favorable effect on you.
aQuarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You dont need
to be fearful if you fnd yourself in a tight spot.
Adversity only strengthens your resolve, and youll
discover youre more than a match for spontaneous
complications.

TENTIAL BIDDERS If you are consider-
ing bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are risks in-
volved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on a
property itself. Placing the highest bid at
a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear ownership of
the property. You should also be aware
that the lien being auctioned off may be a
junior lien. If you are the highest bidder
at the auction, you are or may be respon-
sible for paying off all liens senior to the
lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You
are encouraged to investigate the exis-
tence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder's office or
a title insurance company, either of
which may charge you a fee for this infor-
mation. If you consult either of these re-
sources, you should be aware that the
lender may hold more than one mort-
gage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale post-
ponements be made available to you and
to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been post-
poned, and, if applicable, the resched-
uled time and date for the sale of this
property, you may call 1-800-281-8219
or visit this Internet Web site www.recon-
trustco.com, using the file number as-
signed to this case 12-0022638. Infor-
mation about postponements that are
very short in duration or that occur close
in time to the scheduled sale may not im-
mediately be reflected in the telephone
information or on the Internet Web site.
The best way to verify postponement in-
formation is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Nora Z. Trescony
Case Number 123072
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Nora Z. Trescony. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by Ju-
liane T. Stevens. in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Juliane
T. Stevens. be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster 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 to 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: March 8, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. Probate, Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo, 400
94063. If you object 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 contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing 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 ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
