Independent pharmacy to close
Family-owned business in operation since 1957
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A pharmacy that has prided itself
on customer service for more than
50 years is in the midst of closing its
doors and the owners blame the high
cost of drugs and lack of insurance
company reimbursements for its
demise.
The Carlmont Pharmacy has
anchored a corner at the Carlmont
Village Shopping Center in Belmont
since 1957 and will close its doors
by April 1.
Prescription files have already

“The insurance companies did us
in,” said Jerry Calander, who bought
the pharmacy with his brother Steve
back in 1984.
Insurance companies have cut
over the years what a pharmacist
can make and, with drug costs
increasing, insurance companies did
not appropriately raise its reim-
bursements to pharmacies, he said.
“We will buy a drug for $25 as an
example and only get back $4 from

concludes that he found alien bacterial
life in meteorites that were collected
many decades ago.
Richard Hoover of NASA’s Marshall
Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.,
claims that he found fossils that look
like the remnants of bacteria in at least
two meteorites. His research paper, pub-
Monday. “The simplest explanation for
Mr. Hoover’s measurements is that he’s
measuring microbes from Earth. They’re
contamination.”
In the paper, Hoover states that chem-
ical analysis makes it unlikely to be con-
tamination. Instead, he wrote they are
“indigenous fossils” from outer space
rather than something found on Earth.
Scientists inside and outside the space
agency have criticized and even
ridiculed Hoover’s study, his credentials
and the journal itself. They say that
Hoover works in solar physics and does-
n’t have expertise in astrobiology.
Hoover and the editor of the journal
have not responded to e-mails and phone
messages from the Associated Press.
In a statement on the journal’s web
site, editor-in-chief Rudy Schild of
Harvard University, called Hoover “a
highly respected scientist and astrobiol-
ogist with a prestigious record of accom-
plishment at NASA.”
On Monday, NASA issued a statement
by Paul Hertz, chief scientist in the sci-
ence division, questioning the validity of
claims that have not gone through peer
of Astrobiology. However, the peer
review process was not completed for
that submission.”
The Journal of Cosmology bills itself
as peer-reviewed. In his note, Schild
wrote that he has asked “100 experts”
and “over 500 scientists from the scien-
tific community” to review the paper
with their commentary to be posted
online, after the paper was released.
Typically, scientific journals obtain peer
review before deciding whether to pub-
lish new research.
The paper’s findings were first made
public by Fox News.
Pilcher said the cosmology journal
“has published papers in which the
authors assert that life could not possibly
have started on Earth and must have
started in interstellar space 10 billion
years ago,” he said. That theory is not
one held by a majority of mainstream
scientists, he said.
Similar claims about life in a mete-
orite found in Antarctica were made by
other NASA scientists in 1996 and
announced by President Bill Clinton on
the White House front lawn.

San Bruno tragedy prompts ‘Be Ready’campaign
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
September’s gas pipeline explosion and fire in
San Bruno has prompted a neighboring city to
collaborate with homeowners groups in a cam-
paign to ensure emergency preparedness in case
of a major catastrophe.
Following the San Bruno incident, officials in
the city of San Mateo decided to explore oppor-
tunities with the Neighborhood Watch and
Community Emergency Response Team
(CERT) programs and neighborhood associa-
tions to develop the “Be Ready, Be Safe, Be
Involved!” campaign.
For Mayor Jack Matthews, the campaign is
critical in case a major earthquake, for example,
strikes the region.
“If a major event occurs, you can’t look to
other cities for help,” Matthews said. “We
would have to be able to survive for 72 hours on
our own.”
The San Mateo United Homeowners
Association is taking the lead on the campaign
and is partnering with both the San Mateo
police and fire departments to promote it.
There are currently more than 330 active
neighborhood watch blocks and 500 CERT
graduates in San Mateo along with more than
25 homeowners and neighborhood associations
throughout the city.
City officials hope these programs and asso-
ciations will play a vital role in keeping neigh-
borhoods safe, helping residents prepare for and
respond to disasters and encouraging communi-
ty involvement across San Mateo.
“We’ve always worked with City Hall to pro-
mote readiness and now the relationship is per-
manent. It is in cement,” said Anna Kuhre, pres-
ident of the San Mateo United Homeowners
Association.
Neighborhood Watch and CERT are vital to
keeping the city safe and prepared, she said.
Linking the programs up with neighborhood
groups will help strengthen the community, she
said.
Fire Capt. Robert Cook is the director of San
Mateo’s CERT program and teaches first aid
and other emergency and life-saving skills to
volunteers.

Review faults state redevelopment agencies
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — A review released
Monday criticizes California redevelopment
agencies for lacking performance measures
that track how well they are fighting blight
and creating jobs, but supporters countered
that the report was done hastily to support
Gov. Jerry Brown’s proposal to abolish the
agencies.
The report by the state controller’s office
found great differences in how cities define
blight. Palm Desert, for example, used rede-
velopment money to renovate greens and
bunkers at a 4-star golf resort. Near San
Diego, Coronado’s redevelopment area covers
every privately owned parcel in the city,
including multimillion dollar beachfront
homes.
As part of his plan to close California’s
budget deficit, Brown, a Democrat, wants to
eliminate the state’s more than 400 redevelop-
ment agencies to send more local tax money
to schools, police, fire and other local servic-
es. Local governments are defending the
agencies and say Brown’s plan is illegal.
The 18 agencies subject to the review repre-
sent 16 percent of all redevelopment dollars
statewide in fiscal year 2009-10. Controller
John Chiang said the findings are troubling

Proposition 8 sponsors oppose
lifting of gay marriage ban
SAN FRANCISCO — Lawyers for the
sponsors of California’s gay marriage ban are
urging a federal appeals court to continue
blocking same-sex unions while it considers
the constitutionality of Proposition 8.
The lawyers said in court papers filed
Monday that the rationale for keeping the
voter-approved ban in effect are the same now
as they were last summer, when the 9th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals put a trial judge’s
order overturning Proposition 8 on hold.
They say the Obama administration’s recent
announcement that it would no longer defend
the federal law prohibiting the government
from recognizing same-sex marriages has no
bearing on the state ban.
LOCAL/STATE
Administration and state
attorneys reach contract
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — The union represent-
ing state attorneys has reached a tentative
contract agreement with Gov. Jerry Brown’s
administration for lower pay and higher pen-
sion contributions.
Brown’s administration announced
Monday that it had reached the deal with the
California Attorneys, Administrative Law
Judges and Hearing Officers in State
Employment. The union, which represents
about 3,400 state workers, has been without
because the lack of accountability and trans-
parency “is a breeding ground for waste,
abuse, and impropriety.”
“For a government activity which con-
sumers more than $5.5 billion of public
resources annually, we should be troubled that
there are no objective performance measures
demonstrating that taxpayers are receiving
optimal return for each dollar invested,”
Chiang said in a statement.
Tesla to release Model
S with 300-mile range
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PALO ALTO — Electric car maker Tesla
Motors Inc. plans to offer a limited-edition
version of its Model S sedan next year that
will have a battery mighty enough to keep the
car going for 300 miles on a single charge.
That’s much farther than the Nissan Leaf,
which can go up to 100 miles on a charge. The
Leaf went on sale late last year.

Downtown parking to be extended
Those wanting to enjoy dinner or watch
their little one in a music or swimming class
in San Bruno don’t necessarily want to be
rushed.
Likewise, business owners want customers
to linger in the coffee shop, look at products
other than the ones on the to-do list and con-
sider spending the extra $5 or more during a
downtown visit. That’s difficult to do when
there’s a countdown to getting a parking tick-
et. Downtown San Bruno, along San Mateo
Avenue, currently has a one-hour parking
limit. Business owners would like to see that
doubled. On Tuesday, the City Council will
consider allowing the change.
Laura Baughman, San Bruno Chamber of
Commerce executive director, said the idea
came up a while back from the businesses.
Going to a restaurant, for example, can take
longer than an hour especially if there is a wait
involved. Ladies getting their hair done can
take longer than an hour, especially when
there is coloring involved. And parents with
children enrolled in karate or music classes
could need just a little more than an hour
when time to gather one’s things is taken into
consideration, said Baughman.
The chamber drafted a letter to the city
requesting the change from one-hour to two-
hour parking. Changing won’t cost much. It
will cost $6,000 to change 30 to 35 signs in
the downtown area, according to a staff report
written by Public Services Director Klara
Fabry.
At the same meeting, the council will con-
sider allowing for the closure of San Mateo
Avenue, between Jenevein and Sylvan
avenues, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays
May 1 through Oct. 30 for the farmers’ mar-
ket. While the market will be open from 9 a.m.
to 1 p.m., the additional hours allow for setup
and cleanup. In addition, the Chamber of
Commerce is proposing additional Sunday
events throughout the year like a sidewalk
sale, moving the city’s flea market and a car
show in October.
The council meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 8
at the Senior Center, 1555 Crystal Springs
Road in San Bruno.

Redevelopment wish list expanded
A new library and remodeling a 50-year-old
fire station — estimated to cost $10 million
and $1.6 million respectively — will be added
to San Bruno’s wish list of projects to be fund-
ed using Redevelopment Agency money.
In February, the San Bruno City Council
approved contacts pledging over $100 million
in Redevelopment Agency money to fund
low-income housing and capital improvement
projects. Tonight’s conversation would simply
add two more possible projects to the capital
improvement list — a new library and replac-
ing Fire Station 51. Gov. Jerry Brown has pro-
posed elimination of the tax-based funding
formula forcing San Bruno, and many other
cities throughout the state, to pass such reso-
lutions in hopes of maintaining access to the
funds.
Previously, the council approved repayment
contracts between the city and the
Redevelopment Agency. Under the agree-
ments, the city could continue working on
projects binding the agency to cover the costs.
Approval, however, doesn’t bind the city to
the projects.
This year, San Bruno has $8.7 million in its
Redevelopment Agency budget, said Finance
Director Edmund Suen. Next year, the city
estimates $9.1 million in tax increment rev-
enue, not all of which San Bruno would be
able to access even if Brown’s proposal fails.
About $3.5 million goes to other sources;
$3.86 million would go to redevelopment
projects and $1.8 million is earmarked for
affordable housing, according to a staff report
from the Feb. 16 budget study session. A large
debt payment, $2.34 million, comes from the
funds.
If Brown’s proposal were to be successful,
San Bruno estimates a loss of $350 million
over 30 years without its Redevelopment
Agency, according to a Feb. 8 staff report by
City Manager Connie Jackson.
The council meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 8
at the Senior Center, 1555 Crystal Springs
Road in San Bruno.
Obama restarts Gitmo trials
By Lolita C. Baldor and Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Barack
Obama reversed course Monday and ordered a
resumption of military trials for terror sus-
pects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, making his
once ironclad promise to close the isolated
prison look even more distant.
Guantanamo has been a major political and
national security headache for the president
since he took office promising to close the
prison within a year, a deadline that came and
went without him ever setting a new one.
Obama made the change with clear reluc-
tance, bowing to the reality that Congress’
vehement opposition to trying detainees on
U.S. soil leaves them nowhere else to go. The
president emphasized his preference for trials
in federal civilian courts, and his administra-
tion blamed congressional meddling for clos-
ing off that avenue.
“I strongly believe that the American system
of justice is a key part of our arsenal in the war
against al-Qaida and its affiliates, and we will

The autopsy reports show that the six vic-

Federal judge John Roll and Christina-
Taylor Green, a 9-year-old girl born on Sept.
11, 2001, were shot once each, both in the
torso. The shot that killed the girl struck her

Against Libya’s rebels,Gadhafi controls the skies
By Paul Schemm and Ryan Lucas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RAS LANOUF, Libya — Repeated
airstrikes by Libyan warplanes on Monday
illustrated the edge Moammar Gadhafi holds
in his fight against rebel forces marching
toward the capital: He controls the air. After
pleading from the uprising’s leaders, Britain
and France began drafting a U.N. resolution
for a no-fly zone in Libya that could balance
the scales.
President Barack Obama warned that the
U.S. and its NATO allies are still considering
military options to stop what he called “unac-
ceptable” violence by Gadhafi’s regime.
NATO decided to boost flights of AWACs sur-
veillance planes over Libya from 10 to 24
hours a day, the U.S. Ambassador to NATO
Ivo Daalder said.
“I want to send a very clear message to those
who are around Colonel Gadhafi. It is their
choice to make how they operate moving for-
ward. And they will be held accountable for
whatever violence continues to take place,”
Obama said during remarks in the Oval Office
Monday.
Libyan warplanes launched multiple
airstrikes Monday on opposition fighters
regrouping at the oil port of Ras Lanouf on the
Mediterranean coast a day after they were
driven back by a heavy government counterof-
fensive aimed at stopping the rebel drive
toward Tripoli, Gadhafi’s stronghold.
One strike hit near a gas station in Ras
Lanouf, blasting two large craters in the road
and wounding at least two people in a pick up
truck.
The rebels oppose any Western ground
troops deploying in Libya, but they’re pressing
for a no-fly zone to relieve them of the threat
from the air. The rebels can take on “the rock-
ets and the tanks, but not Gadhafi’s air force,”
said Ali Suleiman, a rebel fighter at Ras
Lanouf. “We don’t want a foreign military
intervention (on the ground), but we do want a
no-fly zone. We are all waiting for one.”
NATION/WORLD THE DAILY JOURNAL
Arab Gulf countries
joined the calls for a no-fly
zone, with the foreign min-
ister of the United Arab
Emirates saying a confer-
ence of his country’s
neighbors that the U.N.
Security Council should
“shoulder its historical
Moammar responsibility for protect-
Gadhafi ing the Libyan people.”
Still, Western military
intervention does not seem imminent - and the
warnings may be an attempt to intimidate
Gadhafi with words before deeds. British and
French officials said the no-fly resolution was
being drawn up as a contingency and it has not
been decided whether to put it before the U.N.
Security Council, where Russia holds veto
power and has rejected such a move. Western
officials have said a no-fly zone does not
require a U.N. mandate, but they would prefer
to have one.

S
o many people are missing what is
wrong with the governor’s budget,
but it’s quite simple: The state has
operated in a deficit for many years now, but
refuses to look within to solve its budget
imbalance. Cities, counties and schools have
been looking to their own operations for
years, which has caused us to evaluate pro-
grams and costs and forced us to be more
efficient.
It’s also caused us to set priorities and spe-
cific goals. Does anyone know what the
state’s priorities are? To the state, everything
is a priority which means nothing can be cut
— but even then there are no goals. For
example, if education is a priority, what are
the state’s goals for education? You can only
set a course toward fiscal stability if you have
goals in place. A simple goal statement
would be to have the California school sys-
tem rank in the top 25 in five years, in the
top 10 in 10 years and the top three in 15
years. What will it take structurally and
financially to accomplish this goal? That kind

One of the core issues
for the state, and cities and
counties, is the rising cost
of pensions and health
care. Cities and counties
have recognized this problem and their
employees have responded by making many
concessions to help balance budgets. The
governor is ignoring this problem and wants
to tackle the deficit first. He doesn’t seem to
realize that you can’t tackle the deficit with-

— pension and benefit costs.
The governor wants to eliminate/consoli-

good idea, but has he ever seen the list of all

Gas prices about more than oil
By Jonathan Fahey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
When Jay Ricker, owner of the BP gas
station off Interstate 70 in Plainfield, Ind.,
set the price of unleaded gasoline at $3.44
per gallon on Monday of last week, it was
4 cents higher than the Friday before.
That alone might have been irritating to
drivers paying the highest gas prices in
more than two years. It was even more so
because it happened on a day when the
price of crude oil, which is used to make
gasoline, fell almost $1 a barrel.
“It’s up 20 cents one day, down 10 cents
the next day,” said Oscar Elmore, a couri-
er who was filling up his Ford Taurus at a
RaceTrac service station in Dallas recent-
ly. “It sounds kinda fishy to me.”
Gas prices rise when oil prices rise, and
fall when oil prices fall — except when
they don’t. What you pay at your gas sta-
tion depends on an array of factors, from
what happens on an exchange in New
York to what the competition is charging.
This can rankle drivers, especially
these days. Gas reached a national aver-
age of $3.51 a gallon on Monday. That’s
up 14 cents, or 4 percent, over the past
week. The week before, the average rose
20 cents, the steepest increase since
September 2008.
A year ago, the price was $2.75. The
average is the highest it’s ever been this

WASHINGTON — Honda recalled
more than 35,000 Civic hybrids in the
United States on Monday to fix a problem
with the electrical system that could cause
the headlights to turn off or the engine to

Separately, Toyota recalled about 22,000
SUVs and trucks to address faulty tire
pressure monitoring systems and Chrysler
recalled about 20,000 Jeep Wranglers over
steering issues.
Honda Motor Co. told the government
its recall would cover 2006-2007 model

Toyota Motor Corp.’s recall includes
some versions of the 2008-2011 Toyota FJ

The systems that monitor the vehicles’
tire pressure did not comply with federal
safety standards. Toyota said the systems

to be recalibrated.
Owners will be notified of the recall at a

McConnell evolves Quite a

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Sacred Heart Prep’s Will McConnell knows
that when he gets a call from the press, he’ll
eventually be asked about about playing bas-
ketball with his twin brother, Reed.
What it’s like?
How much fun is it?
Were you guys really competitive growing
up?
How special is it to play with Reed?
It’s inevitable. In an interview following the
Gators’ Division IV CCS championship game
victory over Santa Cruz, the senior acknowl-
edged he’s gotten the question as least 50
times.
“I’m just trying to come up with something
original to say,” Will McConnell said, chuck-
ling a little bit.
The twin thing makes for a great newspaper
story, but Friday night against Santa Cruz,
McConnell had to stand alone and lead his
team without his brother, the 2009-10 West
Bay Athletic League MVP.
And with the spotlight at its brightest,
McConnell shined.
Against Santa Cruz in the championship
game, the forward and newly crowned
WBAL MVP, scored 16 points, had two
assists and brought down nine rebounds in a
61-51 win. The victory gave the Gators back-
to-back CCS titles.
That game followed an 18-point, three-
assist, six-rebound performance against
Carmel in the semifinals.
For his efforts, McConnell is the Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.
“I just can’t say enough about Will,” said
Sacred Heart coach Tony Martinelli. “He’s
played varsity for three years and when he
started with us, even though he was a [for-
ward or center], he didn’t like getting in the
paint too much, he didn’t like mixing it up.
And in the Carmel and Santa Cruz games,
you saw how far that kid has come in the
amount of time he’s been here.”
McConnell was everywhere Saturday
night, making key plays when his team need-
ed him the most. It was a different scenario
than what the Gators have been used to this

O’Rourke will be the first to tell
you he was not a Division I caliber
player. He will, however, insist that you
grant he had enough game to play basket-
ball in college somewhere.
After graduating from Serra in 2007, he
moved on to San Francisco State. Not the
most glamorous program — at least when
he joined the team.
“To be honest, when I signed my letter of
intent, I didn’t realize how bad the team
was,” O’Rourke said.
Four years later, O’Rourke helped turn
around a team that
won only a few
games in the season
before he joined the
Gators. Not only did
he help the program
become respectable,
he graduates in May
as one of the top
players to come
through the program.
O’Rourke holds three
school records: all-
time games played
(115), most steals
(143) and most 3-pointers attempted (497).
He is also in the top-15 in 3-pointers made
(second, 166), assists (10th, 180) and
blocked shots (11th, 31). The Gators also
won 64 games during his career, an average
of 16 wins per season.
“I’m not up there in the points or field

Teen injured eager to wear pitcher’s helmet

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SCOTTS VALLEY — Gunnar
Sandberg pulled Easton-Bell’s proto-
type of a protective pitcher helmet over
his high school baseball cap and imme-
diately deemed it comfortable. His
father thinks it looks cool, too.
The Sandbergs now plan to work on
convincing others of the importance of
such headgear for safety.
“I think any excuse not to wear it is a
weak excuse,” said Bjorn Sandberg,
Gunnar’s dad.
This Friday marks the one-year
anniversary since Gunnar Sandberg
sustained a life-threatening brain injury
while pitching in a scrimmage for
Marin Catholic High School. He got hit
by a line drive traveling at 130 mph.
Doctors removed a part of
Sandberg’s skull to relieve brain
swelling. He slowly recovered in a San
Francisco rehabilitation facility after
initially being placed in a medically
induced coma.
The 17-year-old Sandberg is back on
the field for his senior season, playing
designated hitter and first base. That’s
because he has a torn right labrum in
his throwing shoulder that likely will
require surgery. It happened sliding
headfirst into second base during a
December winter league game.
Easton-Bell Sports spent most of the
past year developing a lightweight,
padded product to keep pitchers’ heads
safe — and it’s a far cry from those
bulky batting helmets worn by hitters.
The sporting equipment company
unveiled its prototype Monday with the
hope these helmets will be worn on
fields across the country beginning as
soon as this fall, from the Little League
level to high schools. Sandberg, who
has been sporting a foam soccer-style
headband for protection to satisfy doc-
tors’orders for getting back on the field,
said he will wear Easton-Bell’s helmet
even when playing first base.
“Finally, we got something,”
Sandberg said before the formal
announcement at Easton-Bell’s “The
Dome” center, where the company
houses its helmet research and technol-
ogy division. “I’m really going to push

Wade,Heat continue insisting,‘We’re fine’
By Tim Reynolds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Having LeBron
James, Dwyane Wade and Chris
Bosh together was supposed to be
the Miami Heat formula for many
championships.
And it might. Someday.
Right now, it isn’t. With the play-
offs a little more than a month away,
time is running out.
So maybe it was fitting that Heat
coach Erik Spoelstra had his back to
the wall of Miami’s practice court
Monday when trying his best to
clear up "Crygate.” Here was his
clarification: He saw glossy eyes,
but heard no whimpering.
Ultimately, little of that matters. A
day after Spoelstra said there was “a
couple guys crying in the locker
room” in the moments that followed
Sunday’s 87-86 loss to the Chicago
Bulls — the latest entry in a grow-
ing list of last-second chances gone
awry — whether tears were falling
or not is irrelevant.
Shots aren’t falling.
That’s the bigger issue for the
Heat, who have lost four straight
and are early in their toughest
stretch of the season. Portland, hard-
ly a slouch from the suddenly surg-
ing Western Conference, visits on
Tuesday. Kobe
Bryant and the
t w o - t i m e
defending
champion
Lakers, who just
happened to roll
a San Antonio
team that embar-
Dwyane Wade rassed the Heat
last week, stop
by Thursday. The Spurs visit next
Monday.
Even with that, the Heat confi-
dence remains.
“We’re a team that no one wants
to see in the first round,” Wade said.
“We lose every game from here on
out, somebody’s got to see us in the
first round. And the Miami Heat
isn’t really a team you want to see in
the first round.
“We’re fine.”
That’s debatable.
Despite the “Big Three” averag-
ing a combined 69.9 points, 22.4
rebounds and 13.3 assists, the Heat
have clear issues, including consis-
tency at point guard and center
along with the bench. In the public
eye, every loss seems almost cata-
clysmic. There’s often speculation
over Spoelstra’s security with the
Heat, especially with a Hall of
Famer in Pat Riley still looming
over the franchise.
SPORTS
They’re 43-20, the league’s sixth-
best record — not the pace James
grew accustomed to when he was
the lone true superstar with the
Cleveland Cavaliers, who had been
among the league’s very best.
They’ve had their moments, like a
big Christmas win against the
Lakers, a late-game rally to win at
Oklahoma City, a run of 21 victories
in 22 games from Nov. 29 through
Jan. 9. That run started after James
bumped Spoelstra on the way to a
huddle in Dallas and speculation
started raining that the Heat were
already finished.
Take that stretch away, though,
and the Heat are 22-19.
Not the stuff from which titles are
made.
“At the end of the day, we’re in a
good position right now, in the
Eastern Conference and in the
whole league,” James said. “We get
a win, we’ll be all right.”
James was saying the other day
that he’d rather get blown out in a
game than lose at the buzzer, and at
this point, it’s easy to see why he
thinks that way.
The Heat have lost 11 games
already this season in which they
had a chance to take the lead or tie
the score in the final 12 seconds of
regulation or overtime. The team is
shooting 1 for 19 in those situations,
and the one make — a dunk by
James against Memphis way back in
November to tie the game — came
in a game the Heat lost on a Rudy
Gay jumper as time expired.
James is 1 for 8 in those situa-
tions. Wade is 0 for 3, as is Mike
Miller. Eddie House and Mario
Chalmers are 0 for 2. Bosh is 0 for
1.
“Growing pains,” Wade said.
That wasn’t a case of self-loathing
from Wade when he sarcastically
said Sunday that “the world is better
now that the Heat is losing.” This
team has known from the very
beginning that opponents would get
up for them and they would be
booed in every road arena in which
they play.
Bulls forward Joakim Noah says
the contempt for Miami may cut
even more deeply.
He relayed a story about walking
on Miami Beach Saturday, getting
recognized by some fans who had a
message.
“I was pretty amazed ... so many
people saying ‘Beat the Heat’ in
their own hometown,” Noah said.
“In Chicago, I don’t think that hap-
pens.”
What Spoelstra dubbed “Crygate”
was the talk in the New York locker
room Sunday night after the Knicks
beat Atlanta. And on Monday, for-
THE DAILY JOURNAL
mer Heat coach Stan Van Gundy
weighed in on the state of Miami
during his morning availability with
reporters in Orlando.
“My suggestion would be if you
don’t want the scrutiny,” the Magic
coach was saying, “you don’t hold a
championship celebration before
you even practice together. ... I think
the players thought it was going to
be easy and they were going to roll
over everybody. It hasn’t material-
ized that way.”
For the record, the Heat say they
accept the scrutiny.
“I find it kind of humorous,”
Spoelstra said.
James said he feels the same way,
at times.
Go back to what the NBA’s two-
time reigning MVP said when asked
on July 9 — the night of their rock-
star-esque welcoming ceremony at
the Heat home arena — which one
of the he, Wade and Bosh trilogy
would be taking the last shots at the
end of games.
“One game or one possession,”
James said that night, “is not going
to define who we are.”
True.
A defining moment, however, is
coming. And at this point, the Heat
can’t feel great about their chances
when it arrives.

TUCSON, Ariz. — This was one spring

Monday to play a charity game that honored
Christina-Taylor Green, the 9-year-old girl

Chicago beat the Diamondbacks 12-1 in the

of the cause," said Guillen, the Chicago manag-

“The South Bay is the single-most compelling
part of our fan base,” Giants President Larry
Baer said. “It’s densely populated with the
strongest representation of our sponsors, the
strongest representation of our ticket buyers and
the strongest representation of our television
viewership and radio listeners.”
Selig — who has repeatedly said the A’s can’t
survive financially playing in the run-down
Oakland Coliseum they share with the NFL’s
Raiders — has indicated in the past he considers
territorial rights to be sacred. The A’s and Giants
play about 17 miles apart, separated by pictur-
esque San Francisco Bay.
Selig formed the task force to analyze the sit-
uation and report back to him, and Wolff
believes that process is done.
“The committee is working and I do not know
when their work will be complete,” said Pat
Courtney, Selig’s spokesman.
In the A’s view, how could the Giants be upset
about them moving 40 miles farther away?
A complex issue
The Giants don’t consider it that simple when
their South Bay fan base is taken into account.
They declined to provide exact numbers of their
ticket sales in the South Bay, but acknowledge
having contributed financially to the group

San Francisco’s Class-A San Jose club and
opposes the A’s moving to town.

game was held before moving to the Phoenix
area, and 7,419 fans were in attendance.
Green's father, John, is a scout for the Los
Angeles Dodgers and grandfather Dallas was a
former major league manager and pitcher.
The young girl's 11-year-old brother, also
named Dallas, threw out a first ball, as did some
of her Little League teammates. Guillen and
Diamondbacks players John Hester and Tony
Abreu caught the tosses.
"I'm not the kind of guy who chokes up too
often," Guillen said. "I got tears in my eyes
when those kids came up and shook my hand."
Among the items sold for charity were pink
pins bearing Christina-Taylor Green's initials,
purple wristbands and commemorative T-shirts.
"Baseball has been such a big part of all our
lives as a family that we feel honored to be
here," John Green said. "We miss our daughter
tremendously, but I think this is something she
“We solidified a fan base and the core is the
city of San Francisco and straight directly south
those 50 miles,” Baer said. “This is our focus.”
Selig has asked the two clubs not to publicly
debate the issue. Many San Jose city officials are
on board, with Mayor Chuck Reed a big propo-
nent of professional baseball in the South Bay
— and he is on record saying he would welcome
the A’s. But if this process takes too long, the A’s
risk that he might no longer be in office.
“I’m patiently waiting for the commissioner to
rule,” Wolff said. “The committee hopefully has
finished its work and Bud is contemplating his
decision. That’s all I know. I think it will be
sooner rather than later. I don’t think it’s another
year off.”
A’s majority owner John Fisher doesn’t speak
out about the situation, though Wolff has
expressed his frustrations at times.
Wolff, the savvy Los Angeles real estate
developer and a fraternity pal with Selig back in
their days at Wisconsin, is ready to break ground
on a ballpark projected to cost between $400
million and $450 million — if and when he gets
the OK to relocate. There are working drawings
of the venue and an architect has been chosen.
Wolff expects getting building permits to take
about nine months, then the actual ballpark
would require another two years to complete.
Wolff would like to hear from Selig either
way, though the A’s “don’t have a Plan B,” Wolff
said.
“I’m in baseball because of Bud, and I believe
he’s the best commissioner in baseball by far,
even though he’s my friend,” Wolff said.
“Baseball wouldn’t be where it is without Bud. I
respect his reasoning.”
City of Oakland: Too late

Alexei Ramirez, who homered twice, Adam
Dunn and Carlos Quentin were in the Chicago
lineup. The D-backs sent regulars Stephen
Drew, Miguel Montero and Kelly Johnson.
Drew said he had an opportunity to talk with
the Greens before the game.
"It's a huge cause," said Drew, who went 2 for
3 in the game. "It's unfortunate, what happened.
To be able to give back to that cause, it's really
a positive outlook."
White Sox starter Edwin Jackson allowed a
run and six hits in 3 1-3 innings.
"It's always good to be able to give back as
much as we can," Jackson said. "It's an unfortu-
nate situation that we have to be here, but as
long as we can bring a little peace and a little
happiness, that's what we're here for."
Ramirez went 3 for 3 with three RBIs.
unveiled three waterfront sites as potential
spots to build a new ballpark for the A’s and
ultimately keep the team from leaving town.
Yet Wolff and the ownership group, com-
mitted to keeping the team in the Bay Area,
feel they have exhausted their options in
Oakland after years of effort.
In the past they haven’t been able to find a
suitable spot to build and were set to leave
blue-collar Oakland and move to nearby
Fremont until that plan fell through. Wolff
said it cost his group $30 million.
“It takes me an hour and 45 minutes exact-
ly to go through (the paperwork) of what we
did in Oakland,” Wolff said of his efforts in
the diverse East Bay city.
This isn’t the first time baseball has dealt
with territorial rights. The Baltimore Orioles
were compensated in a complicated transac-
tion when Major League Baseball bought the
Montreal Expos and moved them to
Washington, D.C.
Baseball’s other 29 teams purchased the
poor-drawing Expos for $120 million in 2002,
and the commissioner’s office initially operat-
ed the team before it sold. The franchise was
moved to Washington for the 2005 season and
renamed the Nationals.
In the Bay Area, former A’s owner and well-
known businessman Walter Haas — a third-
generation San Franciscan who ran the
Oakland franchise from 1979-95 — gave the
Giants the OK to assume rights to San Jose in
a favor of sorts to former San Francisco owner
Bob Lurie when his team was considering
moving to Florida. The deal basically hap-
pened with a handshake and then was
approved by baseball’s owners.
Haas’ son, Wally, sold the A’s to the group
that preceded Fisher and Wolff: Steve Schott
and Ken Hofmann.

Ramon Castro of the White Sox and Cody
Ransom of the Diamondbacks also homered.
"It's kind of hard to pitch in the wind,"
Jackson said. "The ball is going everywhere.
Just go and try to keep the ball down and keep
the ball on the ground."
Diamondbacks starter Zach Duke had a

ing up three homers in three innings.
"I knew anything that got up in the air had a
chance," Duke said. "Unfortunately, they got
three up in the air on me, but normally those are
outs. I'm encouraged by today's outing."
NOTES: The Diamondbacks announced
they have set a spring-training attendance
record by selling 148,943 tickets during their
first season in suburban Phoenix. The total sur-
passed the mark of 136,940 during 2002 spring
training in Tucson.
History on Giants’ side
The territorial rights have been defined sever-
al different times, beginning when former Giants
managing partner Peter Magowan bought the
team before the 1993 season.
Magowan and his group, which included
Baer, quickly made the decision to bring in slug-
ger Barry Bonds — who broke Hank Aaron’s
home run record in August 2007 and played a
huge role in revitalizing baseball in San
Francisco. Bonds’ presence helped the club
build a privately funded downtown ballpark.
The Giants are paying for that privately built
waterfront ballpark, which opened in 2000 in
what has become a bustling area at China Basin.
San Francisco drew 3 million fans every year
until reaching only 2.8 million in the 2008 and
‘09 seasons, then got back to 3 million in its
championship 2010 year.
“We felt it (those two years at 2.8 million),”
Baer said. “We’ve got to be at 3 million to break
even.”
It’s not that the Giants don’t feel for their
cross-bay rivals. They had their share of lean
years, losing $115 million from 1993-99 at
Candlestick Park after Magowan’s group bought
the team for $100 million and took over before
moving into AT&T Park — and drawing
Oakland-like crowds of about 9,000 fans a night
when things were especially dire.
“We were there before, in this situation,” Baer
said. “We know the need to have a modern and
fan-friendly ballpark. We were there. It reminds
us when we came into the Giants in 1993. The
reality is that we have many case studies, includ-
ing the San Francisco Giants, where a new ball-
park was built very close to an old ballpark and
became a success story — San Francisco and
Seattle to name two in the last decade.”
Now, it’s up to Selig to make his call.

season. They didn’t lose a game during league
play and actually haven’t loss since December
of 2010 — and with a big piece of their team
out and the Gators playing the No. 2 seed in
the tournament, the game was competitive
throughout.
“It changed things up for them completely,”
Martinelli said about Santa Cruz playing his
team tough. “I think they take it personally
that people criticize the league they play in, or
the teams we’ve played in the preseason. They
wanted to play a good team and they wanted
to win.”
Win they did when McConnell took control
of the game.
“With Will, he’s the captain of our team and
he’s a guy who people look to lead us when
things get a little tough,” Martinelli said. “And
with Reed out, a lot of it fell on his shoulders
— especially in the beginning of the game.
Will showed why he’s such a good leader and
why he’s been an important player in the pro-
gram in the time that he’s been here.
“The style of the game was so fast right
away, we were stealing the ball and turning it
over and they were stealing it and turning it
over,” Martinelli said. “I think everyone just
got caught up in that. In the second half, Will
seemed to slow himself down a little bit. He
was the player that he’s been the whole year.
The turnovers went away and everything he
was doing out there was positive.”
That hard work paid off
McConnell’s time as a Gator involved an
evolution of his game. And Martinelli believes
it had to do with another Sacred Heart great.
“Playing against (center) Ty Cobb last year
really pushed Will to change the way he
played a little bit, because he had to,”
Martinelli said. “The practices are competitive
and if you want to win you have to do that. So,
playing against a guy like Ty last year really
helped in his development. I think knowing
what we were missing with Ty and knowing
that between him and Tomas O’Donnell on
the inside that they’d have to make up for that
player being gone, it really changed how he
played.”
That evolution helped McConnell’s game
out tremendously — now McConnell was a
threat from anywhere on the court.

“He started rebounding for us, he was
blocking shots — he made up for what I
thought would be lacking when we loss Ty
Cobb from last year’s team,” Matinelli said.
“Will picked up that slack. Will can score, he
can shoot that short corner jumper and then
when he gets inside, he’s really tough for
defend. In that second half he just started
doing it all. He didn’t have a great first half,
but in the second half he really showed why
he’s the MVP of our league.”
McConnell will graduate this season and
head off to Dartmouth. And while the com-
parisons to his brother might follow him
wherever he goes, with his performance this
week, McConnell’s moment as a key individ-
ual component of the Sacred Heart team will
be his alone.

O’Rourke believes the success of the likes of
Decensae White, Dan Mavraides and Tommy
McMahon — former Serra teammates who
all moved on to Division I programs —
opened the door for him to play at San
Francisco State.
“I was lucky enough to have some good
basketball players that went to big places
right before me,” O’Rourke said. “All those
guys going places helped me out.”
As did simply playing in the Serra pro-
gram that puts a premium on hard work and
hustle over sheer physical talent.
“I felt I had the talent (to play in college),”
O’Rourke said. “More than talent, I just
worked harder than a lot of people. I just had
a greater will than other people do.”

playing as a 17-year-old
freshman, eventually
averaging about 10 min-
utes a game. The last two
seasons, he has served as
a team co-captain and
started all 58 games.
Phoenix A press release from
O’Rourke the San Francisco State
sports information depart-
ment is littered with O’Rourke’s numbers
and achievements. Three times he was named
to an all-tournament team and he was the Dr.
Hal Charnofsky Award recipient following
the 2009-10 season — an award given to the
university’s most outstanding male student-
athlete. His freshman year, he was named to
the California Collegiate Athletic Association
(CCAA) all-academic team and made the
honor roll in every semester during his
career.
O’Rourke will graduate with a bachelor’s
thinking of becoming a police officer.
Before that, however, he will exhaust all
avenues to continue playing basketball at a
high level. Much like college, if he really
wants to play, there could be an opportunity
overseas or with a number of smaller leagues
around the country. He knows the chances of
playing competitively after college are slim,
but don’t discount his will, talent and drive.
After all, those characteristics led him to San
Francisco State in the first place.
“Not a lot of people thought I’d be able to
play DII in college,” O’Rourke said. “If an
opportunity arises to play somewhere else,
I’d love to play. I would definitely be willing
to work hard throughout the summer.
“I’m not throwing the whole idea (of play-
ing professionally) out the window.”

around our local area for everyone to wear this. Wouldn’t you
rather wear this than be in the hospital for two months?”
The helmet weighs about 5 ounces, combining components
of other products: the stretchy strap of ski goggles, an absorbent
mesh liner like those inside a football helmet and the hard, ener-
gy-absorbent plastic similar to that used for bike helmets.
While Easton-Bell CEO Paul Harrington can’t yet provide a
price for the pitcher helmet, he insists that revenue from his
project was never the priority or motivation — but rather filling
a need.
“One injury’s too many,” said Harrington, who believes
Major League Baseball could be interested in the product down
the road. “For Gunnar to be here today, standing here trying this
on, is truly an inspirational story.”
Stephen D. Keener, the president and CEO of Little League
will support Easton-Bell’s product and push for its widespread
use. One day, Keener hopes, pitchers will pull on their protec-
tive helmets the way players grab for their bats or gloves.
“This type of product needs to be introduced at the youngest
levels of youth baseball,” Keener said. “That’s not going to hap-
pen overnight. It’s going to take some time. ... What we’re talk-
ing about is saving kids’ lives. These injuries are rare. When
they do happen, they are very traumatic, catastrophic.”
Sandberg’s frightening accident sparked the Marin County
Athletic League to ban metal bats and require its 10 teams to
use wooden bats. The league is using wood bats again this sea-
son.
In addition, college baseball and California high schools are
using new, safer metal bats this season.
While the bats play closer to their wooden counterparts minus
the weight and mass, they also are designed to decrease the exit
speeds of the ball off the bat. The average speed had been con-
sidered 93 mph, but many hits were coming off at rates of 100-
103 mph and making for dangerous situations in which players
had little or no time to react or protect themselves.

Vitamin sources from A to K: An overview
By Don Gauvreau
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nearly everyone knows that you
need adequate amounts of vitamins
on a daily basis in order to maintain
optimal health, but many people are
still unfamiliar with the functions
each vitamin has in the human body.
Here’s a general overview of the
major roles each vitamin has in the
human body and the best sources of
food to obtain them from:
Vitamin A
Vitamin A (retinol) is a fat-solu-
ble vitamin, which means that it’s
stored in the liver and fatty tissues,
and is eliminated from the body at a
much slowly rate than water-soluble
vitamins. Vitamin A is crucial for
the health of your eyes and skin, and
is involved in cell growth and repro-
duction. The best food sources of
vitamin A are fish and liver. Beta-
carotene, the precursor to vitamin
A, can be found in high quantities in
carrots and dark green vegetables.
Vitamin B1
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is a water-
soluble vitamin, which means that it
isn’t readily stored in the body.
Since water soluble vitamins are
excreted from the body each day
they must be taken in on a regular
basis for optimal health. Thiamine’s
main function in the body is to help
metabolize carbohydrates into
usable energy. The best food
sources of thiamine are whole
grains.
Vitamin B2
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is a
water-soluble B vitamin, which is
involved in vital metabolic process-
es in the body and is needed for nor-
mal cell function, growth and ener-
gy production. The best sources of
riboflavin are meats, fish, dairy
products and eggs.
Vitamin B3
(Niacin, Niacinamide)
Vitamin B3 (niacin/niacinamide)
is involved in the oxidation of fatty
acids, energy production and tissue
repair. The best food sources of
niacin and niacinamide are meats,
beans, whole grains and fish.
Vitamin B5
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is
a water-soluble vitamin that is
required for the metabolism of pro-
tein, carbohydrates and fats. The
best food sources of pantothenic
acid are meats, liver, kidney, fish,
chicken, eggs and milk.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 (pyroxidine) is essen-
tial for all stages of amino acid
metabolism and is involved in the
metabolism of carbohydrates and
fats. Vitamin B6 is also plays a role
in the synthesis of various neuro-
transmitters in the brain. The best
food sources of vitamin B6 are
wheat germ, chicken, fish and eggs.
Vitamin B7
Viatmin B7 (biotin) is involved
the metabolism of fatty acids and
branched-chain amino acids
(BCAAs), and the growth and
development of skin and hair. Biotin
requirements are very small and it
can be found in most foods, but
some of the better sources are liver
and egg yolk.
Vitamin B9
Vitamin B9 (folate/folic acid) is a
water-soluble B vitamin that helps
the body make healthy new cells,
and also has a role in regulating
blood flow in the body. Women take
folate before and during pregnancy
to help prevent birth defects. The
best sources of folate are dark green
leafy vegetables and legumes.
HEALTH THE DAILY JOURNAL
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is
a water-soluble vitamin that helps
sustain healthy nerve cells and red
blood cells. Vitamin B12 is also
needed to make DNA, which is the
genetic material that makes up all
cells. The best food sources of vita-
min B12 are liver, beef and fish.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is prob-
ably the most widely used water-
soluble vitamin. Vitamin C plays a
countless number of roles in the
human body, but is best known for
its antioxidant powers and positive
effects on the immune system. The
best food sources of vitamin C are
red peppers, cherries and a variety
of citrus fruit.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D (cholecaliferol) is a
fat-soluble vitamin and is essential
for bone growth and mineral bal-
ance in the body. When ultraviolet
rays from the sun hit your skin they
trigger your body to synthesize vita-
min D. Very few naturally-occur-
ring foods contain high quantities of
vitamin D, however, many foods are
now fortified with it.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) is
a fat-soluble vitamin that is best
known for its antioxidant properties.
Although there are 8 different forms Vitamin A is crucial for the health of your eyes and skin,and is involved in

Doctors aim to save fertility of kids with cancer
By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The treatment
beating back 9-year-old Dylan
Hanlon’s cancer may also be destroy-
ing his chances of fathering his own
children when he grows up.
Upset that doctors didn’t make that
risk clear, his mother, Christine,
tracked down an experiment that just
might salvage Dylan’s future fertility.
Between chemo sessions, the pair
flew hundreds of miles from their
Florida home to try it.
Many of the cancer treatments that
can save patients’ lives also may cost
their ability to have babies later in life.
Young adults have options — bank
some sperm, freeze embryos or eggs.
Children diagnosed before puberty
don’t.
With childhood cancer survival
reaching 80 percent, there’s a growing
need to find ways to preserve these
youngsters’ fertility — and patients
like Dylan are on the front edge of
research that’s banking testicular cells
and ovarian tissue to try.
“There are viable options, and they
are on the doorstep,” says Dr. Kyle
Orwig of the University of Pittsburgh.
He leads the study Dylan joined to
store the stem cells boys harbor that
later on will produce their sperm. The
idea is to eventually transplant the
cells back.
It may sound odd to discuss fertili-
ty issues still decades away even as
parents agonize over whether a child
will live or die.
Yet it can be hopeful: “We expect
they’ll live that long,” says Dr. Teresa
Woodruff of Northwestern
University’s Oncofertility
Consortium, who works with girls’
ovarian tissue. “If we protect their fer-
tility now as a 9-year-old, we hope ...
that tissue we’ve guarded can be
used” when they’re grown.
Researchers say several dozen boys
and girls, including some babies, so
far are part of these early-stage exper-
iments at a handful of medical cen-
ters.
About 10 percent of the 1.5 million people diagnosed with cancer last year were younger than 45, more than
15,000 of them under 20.Woodruff said perhaps half of younger patients risk either some immediate fertility
damage,or for girls,the prospect of menopause in their 20s or 30s.
And while there are no guarantees,
Dylan’s mother rests easier knowing
“that I’m doing all I can do” for his
future.
About 10 percent of the 1.5 million
people diagnosed with cancer last
year were younger than 45, more than
15,000 of them under 20. Woodruff
said perhaps half of younger patients
risk either some immediate fertility
damage, or for girls, the prospect of
menopause in their 20s or 30s. It
depends on the type of cancer and
treatment. Numerous forms of
chemotherapy, high-dose body-wide
radiation, radiation aimed at the
pelvis and some surgeries can leave
patients unable to procreate.
Even young adults too often
aren’t told in time about fertility
preservation options, despite guide-
lines issued in 2006 urging doctors
HEALTH
to discuss them upfront.
Where does that leave the youngest
patients? Boys don’t produce sperm
before puberty, ruling out sperm
banking. Girls are born with all the
eggs they’ll ever have but those are in
an immature state, so egg-freezing
isn’t an option.
Enter the new research.
In Holiday, Fla., a lump in Dylan
Hanlon’s chest turned out to be
Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare cancer, fortu-
nately caught early. The prescribed
nine months of chemotherapy began
in September, turning fourth grade
into home-schooling. Dylan has
struggled with side effects and infec-
tions during every-other-week hospi-
talizations for the chemo. But it seems
to be working; his mother was told the
prognosis is good.
Then in December, Christine
Hanlon stumbled across information
from the patient advocacy group
Fertile Hope that revealed Dylan’s
chemo bears a high risk of infertility.
She began hunting options. The first
study she found accepts only the
newly diagnosed.
An only child, Dylan “loves babies.
He told me one day he was going to
have 10 kids,” Hanlon says. Learning
the risk late “broke my heart. ... He
might have lost an opportunity.”
Finally she tracked down Orwig,
who oversees a multi-hospital pro-
gram called Fertility Preservation in
Pittsburgh that offers services to men,
women, boys and girls.
Orwig and other researchers have
restored fertility in a range of male
animals — mice, rats, pigs, dogs —
by storing and reimplanting sperm-
producing stem cells.
Tuesday • March 8, 2011 17
Testing the technique in boys
requires biopsy-style removal of a
small amount of testicular tissue. No
one knows how many stem cells are
floating among the millions of other
cells frozen from that sample, or how
many are necessary. But Orwig says
the more tissue collected, the better.
Dylan joked, “So Ma, I’ll be a
guinea pig?” Hanlon says he easily
agreed. Most of his sample was
frozen, for Dylan’s later use if he
wants it. The rest went to Orwig’s lab
for research — and two weeks later
came the good news that Dylan’s tis-
sue indeed harbored stem cells
despite a few months of chemo.
Key to this approach will be multi-
plying stored stem cells so that many
more can be injected back, adds Dr.
Jill Ginsberg of Children’s Hospital of
Philadelphia, who has banked cells
from more than 25 boys in her own
study. Her research partner at the
University of Pennsylvania is work-
ing on that step.
Girls pose a different challenge.
Some young women have had
strips of their ovaries removed and
frozen before cancer treatment, and
then transplanted back a few years
later. It’s considered experimental
even for adults, with 13 births report-
ed worldwide so far, says
Northwestern’s Woodruff.
Now researchers are banking the
same tissue from girls. It requires
laparoscopic surgery. Storing enough
isn’t the issue: Egg follicles are pro-
gressively lost through life, so a girl
harbors more than even a 20-some-
thing, Woodruff says. A bigger
unknown is how long they can be
frozen. Also, there’s a possibility can-
cer cells could lurk in frozen tissue.
So Woodruff is going the next step,
researching ways to force those stored
follicles to ripen into pure eggs in a
lab dish.
However the different experiments
pan out, Hanlon said more families
should be told about them: “Doctors
should have this information, have it
there to give to the parents. Let the
parents decide.”

Eating disorders
hit more than
half million kids
By Lindsey Tanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — More than half a
million U.S. teens have had an eat-
ing disorder but few have sought
treatment for the problem, govern-
ment research shows.
The study is billed as the largest
and most comprehensive analysis of
eating disorders. It involved nation-
ally representative data on more
than 10,000 teens aged 13 to 18.
Binge-eating disorder was the
most common, affecting more than
1.5 percent of kids studied. Just
under 1 percent had experienced
bulimia, and 0.3 percent had had
anorexia. Overall, 3 percent had a
lifetime prevalence of one of the
disorders. Another 3 percent of kids
questioned had troubling symptoms
but not full-fledged eating disor-
ders.
The study was released online
Monday in Archives of General
Psychiatry.
The rates are slightly higher than
in other studies. And the study is
based on kids and parents inter-
viewed over two years ending in
2004. But co-author and researcher
Kathleen Merikangas of the
National Institute of Mental Health
says similar rates likely exist today.
More than half the affected teens
had depression, anxiety or some
other mental disorder. Sizeable
numbers also reported suicide
thoughts or attempts.
Merikangas said the results
underscore the seriousness of eating
disorders.
Big drop in kids’ear infections
By Mike Stobbe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Ear infections, a
scourge that has left countless tots
screaming through the night, have
fallen dramatically, and some
researchers suggest a decline in
smoking by parents might be part of
the reason.
Health officials report nearly a 30
percent drop over 15 years in young
children’s doctor visits for ear infec-
tions. That’s half a million fewer
trips to the doctor on average.
Why the numbers are declining is
a bit of a mystery, but Harvard
researchers think it’s partly because
fewer people smoke, meaning less
irritation of children’s airways.
Many doctors credit growing use of
a vaccine against bacteria that cause
ear infections. And some think
increased breast-feeding is protect-
ing more children.
“We’re sort of guessing here,” said
Dr. Richard Rosenfeld, a New York-
based ear, nose and throat specialist
who speaks about the issue for the
American Academy of Pediatrics.
To be sure, middle ear infections
still plague many U.S. children.
For decades, they were the most
common reason parents brought
young children to a doctor, accord-
ing to health officials. The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
hadn’t bothered to issue a report on
them in nearly 20 years.
Cases skyrocketed from 1975-
1990. The visit rate for children 5
and under more than doubled in that
time.
A big reason, Rosenfeld said, was
a steady rise in dual-career families.
HEALTH
“When people are smoking less
around their kids,when homes are smoke-free,
the rate of ear infections can and has decreased.”
— Hillel Alpert,lead author of a study
published recently by the journal Tobacco Control
More families put their kids in day
care, and day care is a breeding
ground for the germs that lead to ear
infections.
But the study by Harvard
University suggests another contrib-
utor: cigarette smoke.
Most ear infections occur after a
cold. In children, the ear is more
directly connected to the back of the
nose, so infections in a child’s nose
and throat can easily trigger ear
inflammation. Such swelling is a
fertile setting for the bacteria that
cause ear infections.
Cigarette smoke, inhaled through
a child’s nose, can trigger the same
kind of irritation and swelling, said
Dr. Gordon Hughes of the National
Institute on Deafness and Other
Communication Disorders.
CDC figures show that 88 percent
of U.S. nonsmokers were exposed to
secondhand smoke around 1990, but
that fell to about 40 percent in 2007
and 2008.
Harvard research indicates the
decline coincides with a drop in
childhood ear infections.
“When people are smoking less
around their kids, when homes are
smoke-free, the rate of ear infections
can and has decreased,” said Hillel
Alpert, lead author of a study pub-
lished recently by the journal
Tobacco Control.
At the request of the Associated
Press, the CDC checked its recent
trend data on ear infections, based
on annual surveys of a representa-
tive sample of doctors.
For children ages 6 and under, the
number of medical visits in which
the main diagnosis was ear infection
dropped by nearly 30 percent from
1993 to 2008 - from an estimated
17.5 million visits to about 12.5 mil-
lion.
The rate of such visits dropped by
about 32 percent, from 636 ear
infection-related visits per 1,000
children to 431 per 1,000.
The trend downward for young
children seems to have leveled off in
the last few years.
A CDC analysis of data from
2004 through 2008 found the differ-
ences year-to-year were not mean-
ingful, said Susan Schappert of the
CDC’s National Center for Health
Statistics.
Some doctors have noticed fewer
ear infections in their waiting rooms
compared to what they saw years
ago. “We don’t see them that much
anymore,” said Dr. Michael Baron, a
family practice doctor in Stone
Mountain, a suburb of Atlanta.
Another factor in that decline may
be growing use of a vaccine that pro-
tects against strep bacteria that can
cause ear infections. The vaccine,
first licensed in 2000, would not
account for the drop in cases in the
THE DAILY JOURNAL
1990s, but probably has contributed
to the decline since, several experts
said.
Also, some studies have credited
antibody-rich breast milk with low-
ering infants’ risk for respiratory and
middle ear infections. About 77 per-
cent of new mothers breast-feed, at
least briefly, up from fewer than
two-thirds in the early 1990s.
Of course, these are just theories.
None seems to explain the Willis
household in Charlotte, N.C.
Neither parent smokes, both chil-
dren have had all recommended vac-
cines, and Vanessa breast-fed each
child for about three months.
Yet their 6 1/2-year-old son
Hatcher got 10 ear infections in only
a year when he was younger. Their
21-month-old daughter Libby
Jeanne has had three or four ear
infections, too, including one just
last month.
Hatcher’s first bouts with ear
infections were particularly rough.
“He would shriek and cry and we
couldn’t figure out what was causing
him so much pain,” said Vanessa, 35.
“I remember spending many
nights on the couch sitting straight
up, holding him against my chest,”
the only way the boy would sleep.
“That’s a miserable thing for work-
ing parents.”
Jessica Hyatt, a 21-year-old mom
in Spokane, Wash. whose home is
also smoke-free, said her 2-year-old
daughter Chesnie has had four ear
infections, including a recent one
that lasted close to two months.
Various treatments, including
antibiotics, have not worked.
Jessica, a college student, has
repeatedly missed classes to be
home with Chesnie.

Stomach pacemaker could help obese lose weight
By Maria Cheng
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Patrick Hetzner tried diets
and exercise, just about everything short of
stomach stapling to lose weight. Nothing
worked. Five months ago he tried something
new: a stomach pacemaker that curbed his
appetite.
Since having it implanted, Hetzner, a 20-
year-old Munich mailman, has knocked off
more than 10 kilos (22 pounds) from his ear-
lier weight of 104 kilos (229 pounds).
Hetzner got the device as part of a clinical
trial. Since being approved by Britain last
month, the device is available for sale across
the European Union. It works a bit like a car-
diac pacemaker, and consists of a stimulator
and a sensor surgically implanted onto the
stomach.
The stimulator sends out electrical pulses
meant to trick the stomach and brain into
thinking the body is full. Hetzner said the
pulses kick in a few minutes after he starts
eating or drinking. He said they make him
feel full after finishing about half the amount
of food he would normally eat.
“It feels like a little pressure on my stom-
ach or a tickle, but it’s not a bad feeling,” he
said in a telephone interview.
“It’s been like a little guide to help me
change my life,” he said.
So far, about 65 patients in two studies
have received the device from U.S. pace-
maker manufacturer Intrapace. Only about
half of those have had the pacemaker for at
least a year, and most lost about 20 percent
of their weight and kept it off.
Other stomach pacemakers are on the mar-
ket but most are used to relieve symptoms
HEALTH
like nausea and vomiting, not to fight obesi-
ty.
Appetite is partly controlled by signals
sent from nerves around the stomach to the
brain; the stomach pacemaker taps into that
communication system, sending a message
to the brain that the body is full after a rela-
tively small amount of food is consumed.
“If you can stimulate the nerves going
from the stomach to the brain, that should
indeed have an effect in reducing food
intake,” said Stephen Bloom, an obesity
expert at Imperial College in London, who is
not connected to Intrapace or the clinical tri-
als.
Bloom, however, questioned whether the
device would work long-term, as people
might eventually get used to the electrical
pulses and keep eating anyway.
Doctors familiar with the pacemaker say
there will always be ways for patients to eat
and work around the system. “We could
make the (stomach pacemaker) work so peo-
ple feel like they’re going to throw up, but
we don’t want that,” said Thomas Horbach,
chief of surgery at Stadtkrankenhaus
Schwabach, near Munich, who led one of the
trials.
“If you take away all the responsibilities
from the patient, they will not change on
their own.”
As an additional benefit, the sensor tracks
when patients eat, drink or exercise, so
patients can chart their progress. Intrapace
has also created an online network for
patients to trade weight loss advice and share
experiences.
Other surgical approaches to weight loss
come with serious side effects.
People who have their stomach stapled or
have a gastric band must eat smaller amounts
Tuesday • March 8, 2011 19
of mostly low-fat foods, because their stom-
achs can’t accommodate or process large
volumes. If they overeat, they will feel nau-
seous, vomit, or suffer from other problems.
The most serious side effect seen in the
pacemaker has been an infection linked to
surgery. In Britain, the pacemaker costs
about 15,000 pounds ($24,040), including
the keyhole surgery used to implant it.
Intrapace President Chuck Brynelsen said
that’s comparable to other weight loss sur-
geries.
The device is authorized for sale across the
EU, though the company is first targeting
weight loss clinics in Britain, Germany and
Spain. It also plans to submit the device for
approval in the U.S. once it has more data,
and hopes it will be available there in 2014.
The pacemaker hasn’t yet been implanted
commercially in Europe, but Intrapace is in
talks with clinics interested in offering it.
Brynelsen said the battery in the device
lasts about five years and it will be up to
patients how long they want to keep the
pacemaker. “We don’t know if patients will
see (the stomach pacemaker) as a bridge to
recovery or whether this is a crutch they will
need for the longer term,” he said.
Some experts said the pacemaker did not
address people’s underlying reasons for
overeating. “The problem with these devices
is they assume people are rational and that
they eat because they’re hungry,” said
Stephan Rossner, a professor in the obesity
unit at Karolinska University Hospital.
“A lot of obese patients eat because they’re
depressed, they can’t sleep at night, or they
have nobody to have sex with,” he said. “So
whatever you insert into their stomach, they
can out-eat that device because it’s other
things that drive them to consume.”
Hetzner said he intends to keep the stom-
ach pacemaker for about four years.
“I don’t want to backslide,” he said, adding
he would recommend the device to others. “I
want to be sure I can stick with it and that my
body adapts to this new way of eating.”

YOUSHOCK
Continued from page 1
chemistry and the school’s method of
encouraging group activities and teacher
closeness, had harbored hatred for
months if not years. On Aug. 24, 2009,
launched his failed “D-Day” attack,
Guidotti said.
But defense attorney Jonathan
McDougall said something else was
behind his client’s beliefs and actions —
schizophrenia.
Youshock, then 17, is mentally ill and
had growing persecutory illusions which
kept from forming the premeditation and
specific intent needed under the law,
McDougall said.
However, McDougall told jurors “I’m
not going to stand here and ask you to
find him not guilty.”
Instead, McDougall said his illness
blurred the line between reality and fan-
tasy.
Youshock, now 18, faces life in prison
if convicted of two counts of attempted
murder, one count of exploding a
destructive device with intent to commit
murder, one count of possession of a
destructive device in a public place, one
count of the use of explosives in an act
of terrorism and two counts of posses-
sion of a deadly weapon.
He has pleaded not guilty and not
guilty by reason of insanity, meaning
jurors may deliberate a second time to
determine if he knew what he did was
wrong. If found guilty and insane,
Youshock will be hospitalized rather
than incarcerated.
‘Why does the world hate me?’
Even before he plotted against
Hillsdale, McDougall said Youshock had
begun hearing voices, staying up all
night playing video games, taking two-
hour showers and eating nothing but
overcooked cheeseburgers. He stayed
silent for days on end and his sister had
already been involuntarily committed
twice because voices said to cut herself,
according to McDougall. He thought
people were following him and would
stand in front of the mirror with a cap
gun to his head, pretending to kill him-
self, McDougall said.
Youshock, McDougall said, wondered
BUDGET
Continued from page 1
ask voters to extend temporary sales,
income and vehicle tax hikes for another
five years, which would be accompanied
by $12 billion in spending cuts.
“I think it might take a few more days
than that, at the rate we’re going,”
Brown said. “So people are nervous, and
they want to deal with all these other
collateral issues, and I’m willing to deal
with some. ... But so far, the Republicans
haven’t suggested any cuts.”
He said lawmakers want to delve “into
all sorts of other collateral matters like
schools and seniority and things like
that, which I’m perfectly willing to talk
about, but I would like to get a budget.”
A handful of Republican lawmakers
held their own news conference Monday
and said they remained steadfast in their
opposition to the special election. Many
have joined a so-called taxpayer caucus
to oppose tax increases, including the
extension of the tax hikes that were
enacted in 2009 and are scheduled to
expire this year.
CLOSED

needs to sell before its doors close.
Greeting cards and other gift items are
being sold at 50 percent off.
The greeting cards were hand-picked
by Calander’s wife, Rose, as were many
in his journal, “Why does the world hate
me?”
Although the defense painted
Youshock as mentally ill, Guidotti in her
remarks stuck with the events and
argued he knew what he was doing.
Guidotti methodically spelled out the
chronology of Aug. 24, 2009, during the
second week of school, which began
with an unrelated power outage and
ended with police finding in Youshock’s
room a suicide note, the journal and the
thumb drive containing the manifesto.
Day of attack
Youshock arrived on campus with the
chain saw in a guitar case, the foot-long
sword in a sheath at his side and a bag
holding other tools — four rubber door
stoppers to trap students and teachers in
rooms, a face mask to protect him from
“splattering blood” and a tactical vest
armed with 10 live pipe bombs, Guidotti
said.
He headed directly to Building 101
where his loathed chemistry teacher,
Meghan Spalding, and two other hated
teachers had classrooms. Even as his
plan went awry, Youshock didn’t leave
campus and instead knowingly ran back
toward its center, she said.
Youshock threw two of the bombs but
they injured nobody. He failed to start
the chain saw because it was in the off
position but the noise drew teachers
from their class who in turn alerted secu-
rity aide Jana Torres. He threw a bomb at
Torres, who jumped back from the
explosion, and ran until teacher Kennet
Santana tackled him in a bear hug.
Others, including Gilbert, joined until
police arrived.
Following opening statements,
Guidotti called several witnesses who
described a frightening and chaotic
scene.
English teacher Kristin Sanchez
recalled seeing Youshock, who she knew
by name but little else, sitting outside her
classroom with a large, black duffel bag
at his feet. A short while later, she saw
him standing outside her door and
pulling on what looked like a bulletproof
vest with a metal canister in the pocket.
She distinctly remembered the gold-
detailed sword at his side and wondered
at first if it might be a prop for a
Shakespeare reenactment.
She contacted Torres, telling her she
had a “very bad feeling” about what she
“I don’t think anybody on our side
really wants to go up on taxes,” said
freshman Assemblyman Mike Morrell,
R-Rancho Cucamonga.
He was one of four Republicans at the
Capitol news conference. They com-
plained about what they said were bloat-
ed salaries and wasted money at the
California Department of
Transportation.
In a sign that compromise was becom-
ing elusive, a group of five Republican
senators who did not join the taxpayer
caucus and had been talking with Brown
behind closed doors Monday sent a let-
ter to him saying it appeared they had
“reached an impasse.”
“We thoughtfully presented our sub-
stantive reform proposals to create jobs,
require responsible state spending, elim-
inate abusive pension practices and
implement meaningful government
reforms,” said the letter by Sens. Tom
Berryhill of Modesto, Sam Blakeslee of
San Luis Obispo, Anthony Cannella of
Ceres, Bill Emmerson of Redlands and
Tom Harman of Huntington Beach.
“We were therefore disappointed to
find that our reforms were either reject-
ed or so watered down as to have no real
effect on future spending or the econo-
of the unique gift items in the store and
alternative medicines and wellness prod-
ucts from overseas.
“We are offering deep discounts on all
our products,” Calander said.
Yesterday, customer Gwen Layritz
was shopping for a greeting card at the
pharmacy. She has been a regular cus-
tomer there for almost 10 years.
“I will miss it because the people
here are nice,” Layritz said. “And I

had encountered and looked back to see
him with the chain saw. She heard Torres
ask what he was doing followed by a ball
of flame. Sanchez ran as the building
rocked.
“It was a huge explosion sound. ... At
that point I knew it was a bomb and I
started screaming for someone to call
911,” she testified.
Sanchez said she ran to the adminis-
tration building and hid with the dean of
students, first in his office and then the
men’s bathroom until they heard police
sirens.
During her direct testimony, Sanchez
wiped at tears when shown the chain
saw and her eyes darted often to
Youshock at the defense table. Emotion
was also visible from student math
teacher Michael McCall who spotted
Youshock with a knife when he stepped
into the hallway to see if the power out-
age had also hit other classrooms. He
stepped back in the room and heard a
distinctive sound.
“I heard someone trying to start a
chain saw ... and I thought they don’t
need a chain saw to fix the lights,” he
said.
As the other teacher covered the glass
door with paper, students screamed and
McCall said he heard pieces of the bomb
hitting the walls.
Police response
The first prosecution witness, San
Mateo police Officer Rick Apecechea,
described first being dispatched for a
shooting at the campus and arriving to
find two faculty members dog piled on
top of Youshock. Apecechea handcuffed
Youshock, ordered the others away and
stayed on him until more help arrived.
It “felt like forever,” he said.
Under cross-examination, Apecechea
said Youshock answered his questions
about the number of bombs and how
they detonated. He did not struggle or
otherwise fight the officer, he testified.
“He didn’t try to harm you in any-
way?” McDougall asked.
“Other than being there? No,”
Apecechea said.
Youshock remains in custody without
bail. The prosecution continues its case
today.

Brown is unable to compel Democratic
interest groups to accept difficult
changes.
Brown had said earlier in the day that
some Republicans who have indicated a
willingness to compromise with majori-
ty Democrats on the budget have been
threatened with retaliation, which could
include losing financial support for their
future election campaigns.
“There is a lot of fear that the entire
machinery of the more conservative ele-
ments will be turned against whoever
votes to put this on the ballot,” Brown
said.
He said Republicans have told him
they also are wary of making a political-
ly controversial move ahead of the
California Republican Party convention
in Sacramento March 18-20.
“Because they feel that their heads
will be on a stick,” Brown said, referring
to KFI radio’s “John & Ken Show,”
which aggressively target Republican
lawmakers who support any policy the
hosts perceive as not conservative
enough.
The Southern California radio hosts
often post pictures on their website of
lawmakers’ heads on a pike.

There is a strong possibility that you will establish
a number of new relationships with certain people
whom you’ve always thought of as special. With their
influence, you’ll be able to realize a number of major
achievements.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Companions are likely
to respond to your requests if you appeal more
to their emotions than to their logic. This will be
especially true with people whom you’ve helped in
the past.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Don’t be surprised if
friends look to you for advice and direction in all
the shared involvements you have with them. When
asked, take the helm and lead the way.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - If you sense the odds
are tilted in your favor when it comes to competitive,
career situations, rejoice, as long as you don’t make
the mistake of underestimating the competition.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Be optimistic regarding
the outcome of an important career situation that has
looked rather bleak. You’d be right in thinking that
your ship is coming in at last.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - You have the ability to
mastermind important work-related situations that
have stymied others, when you run across certain fac-
tors they have overlooked. Be alert and on your toes.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - The best way to win brownie
