Fighting for victims
and their families
FREE
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Ination remains tame
throughout the U.S. economy, with one big
exception: gas prices.
Those higher prices havent derailed a
steadily improving economy. But if they sur-
pass $4 or $5 a gallon, experts fear Americans
could pull back on spending, and job growth
could stall, posing a potentially serious threat
to the recovery.
And the longer prices remain high, the more
they could imperil President Barack Obamas
re-election hopes.
A few weeks ago, economists generally
agreed that the economy was in little danger
from higher gas prices as long as job growth
remained strong. But fears are now mounting
that gas prices could begin to weaken con-
sumer condence.
The average pump price nationwide is
$3.83 a gallon. Energy analysts say its bound
to climb higher in the weeks ahead.
Its a thorn in the side of the consumer and
businesses, said Chris Christopher, an econo-
mist at IHS Global Insight. The economy this
year would have been better and stronger if
we didnt have to deal with this.
So far, higher prices arent undermining the
economic recovery, which is getting a lift
from strong job creation. It would take a big
jump to around $5 a gallon before most
economists would worry that growth would
halt and the economy would slide into anoth-
er recession.
Thats because an improving economy is
somewhat insulated from any threat posed by
higher prices at the pump.
Will gas priceshurt economy?
Economists fear mounting fuel costs could weaken consumer confidence
Bill to kill high-speed
rail gaining support
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A bill that will cut off funding for the
states high-speed rail project is gaining
steam as the Orange City Council voted
unanimously Tuesday night to support
Assembly Bill 1455, authored by
Assemblywoman Diane Harkey, R-Dana
Point.
AB 1455, the High-Speed Rail Lemon
Law, was introduced by Harkey in January and several coun-
ties and cities across the state have already voted to support it.
When initially introduced, Peninsula ofcials also offered
support for the legislation including Burlingame Mayor Jerry
Deal and Belmont Mayor Dave Warden.
Harkeys Lemon Law would repeal more than $9 billion in
available state debt funding for the project. A vote on the leg-
islation is expected in mid-April.
In spite of the huge taxpayer funded marketing budget for
this complex project, the people and their elected ofcials are
searching for the facts and discovering that they were sold a
lemon. Already cash strapped and weary of the wasteful nan-
cial decisions being made in Sacramento, local governments
are now learning they will have to pay a share of the project
even if it never serves their constituents. I encourage everyone

Burlingame to finalize its
new leaf blower schedule
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Burlingame ofcials will hold a public hearing Monday on
new restrictions on leaf blowers introduced earlier this month.
Under the plan, Burlingame will be split into three areas and
commercial gardeners will be allowed one day a week
Tuesday, Thursday or Friday to work in each area. The
rules, which go into effect July 1, also limit the sound level and
hours in which leaf blowers can be used, according to a staff
report by City Manager Jim Nantell.
Residents will be allowed to use leaf blowers 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
on weekends. Properties greater than 5 acres in size are
allowed to use leaf blowers from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday
through Friday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekends and holidays.

river to turn the water green. The rst
year the river was dyed, in 1962, 100

river green for several hours during the
annual St. Patricks Day Parade.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Redwood City residents are looking
at sewer and water rate hikes to help the
city absorb wholesale utility costs and
fund multi-million dollar upgrades to
both systems.
City officials say the 12 percent water
increase and 9 percent sewer rate hike
proposed to start in July shouldnt be
that surprising to residents, coming on
the heels of two previous 9 percent
increases. However, the city will hold
public meetings and hearings in the
next two months to insure home and
business owners are aware of whats
coming and have the chance for input
before the changes are implemented.
Residents and business owners can
stave off the increases if 50 percent plus
one of those owning properties served
by water and sewer file protest, said
city spokesman Malcolm Smith.
If the City Council approves the
increases, a typical household will see a
$4 increase in water and $5 increase in
residential sewer rates. Commercial
account increases will be based on
water usage and business type.
Over the next 10 years, the city says
it needs to spend $200 million for its
share of replacing outdated facilities at
the regional sewage treatment plan and
$100 million for the repair or replace-
ment of its aging sewer infrastructure.
In terms of the water system, the city
is looking at $80 million over the next
20 years to maintain its drinking water
system and $10 million annually for
the next 30 years to seismically
upgrade the Hetch Hetchy water sys-
tem.
The wholesale cost of water from the
San Francisco Public Utilities
Commission will go up 10 percent on
top of a significant 38 percent jump the
previous year. The city tries easing the
unpredictable increases by approving
more uniform, moderate amounts of 8
percent to 10 percent on an annual
basis, according to the assessment by
Marilyn Harang, interim assistant pub-
lic works director.
The community information meeting
is 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 4 at the
Public Works Services building, 1400
Broadway. The City Council meeting is
7 p.m. Monday, May 7 at City Hall,

SACRAMENTO The Legislative
Analysts Office on Friday estimated that a
compromise tax measure for the November
ballot would generate about $2.2 billion less
in the first year than estimates from Gov.
Jerry Browns Department of Finance.
The Democratic governor this week
reached a deal with supporters of a rival tax
plan known as the millionaires tax. The
revised initiative would raise the state sales
tax by a quarter-cent for five years. It also
would raise taxes on a sliding scale from 1
percent to 3 percent on incomes over
$250,000 a year for seven years.
A review released Friday by the nonparti-
san analysts office estimates revenue of
$6.8 billion in 2012-13, which is $2.2 billion
less than Browns projection. Revenue for
the following year would be $5.1 billion,
according to the LAO, which would be about
$2 billion below the finance department
forecast.
The two agencies previously differed in
their revenue forecasts for Browns original
initiative, which sought to raise the sales tax
by a half-cent and raise income taxes on the
wealthy for five years. The difference in the
two projections is partly because the gover-
nors finance department estimates higher
revenue from capital gains taxes.
Both forecasts include revenue from an
expected Facebook initial public offering
later this year. The legislative analyst pre-
dicts that will bring in about $408 million in
2013-14 from the sale of stock.
Brown forged the compromise with the
California Federation of Teachers, the
Courage Campaign and other supporters of a
higher tax on millionaires this week, after
polls showed his measure slipping in public
opinion.

WASHINGTON A new analysis of
President Barack Obamas budget for next year
says the decit scenario for next year isnt as
rosy as the White House gured last month.
Fridays Congressional Budget Ofce report
said Obamas budget would produce a $977 bil-
lion decit next year $75 billion more than
predicted by the White House.
Over the coming decade, CBO says Obamas
policies would result in decits totaling $6.4
trillion. Decits would be even higher were it
not for Obamas proposals to raise taxes on
higher-income people.
The White House seized on the gures as val-
idation of its claims that Obamas budget brings
the decit under control at least when meas-
ured against the economy, the measure used by
most economists in evaluating the decit.
CBO found that by 2016 decits as a share
of the economy would be below 3 percent a
key milestone of scal sustainability, said
White House budget ofce acting director
Jeffrey Zients. Debt held by the public will
decrease and then stabilize as a share of the
economy, also a key indicator of improving s-
cal health.
The nonpartisan CBO said Obamas budget
ofce consistently overestimates tax revenues
over the coming decade. CBO predicts revenues
on average that are about $120 billion less each
year than predicted by the White House.
Still, CBO said Obamas budget would gen-
erate somewhat lower decits over the coming
decade than the White House predicts. Much of
that is due to lower interest costs and less gen-
erous cost-of-living adjustments in Social
Security benets.
The forecasting differences for 2013 arent
unusual and generally are caused by CBOs less
optimistic view of the economy over the next
couple of years. The White House forecasts
higher income and corporate prots.
For the current budget year, CBO says
Obamas policies, if enacted, would generate a
$1.25 trillion decit. Thats $74 billion better
than the White House forecast but still repre-
sents the fourth consecutive year of trillion dol-
lar-plus decits.
The report is a precursor to the annual budget
debate in Congress. House Budget Committee
Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., plans to unveil
his budget plan next week, which will call for
sharply lower spending on federal health care
programs, lower taxes than called for by Obama
and less money for the day-to-day budgets of
federal agencies than called for in last years
budget and debt pact.

Obituaries

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO After two Deep South losses,
Mitt Romney is intensifying his campaign
efforts in the economically challenged Midwest
a friendly region for him in hopes of
regaining his front-runners momentum when
Illinois holds its Republican presidential pri-
mary Tuesday.
But the race for Illinois and its cache of 54
delegates is tighter than might have been
expected, thanks to Rick Santorums recent rise
in opinion polls. And President Barack Obama,
the Democrat they both hope to oust, is making
his presence felt, too, in his adopted home state.
Romney is clearly mindful of the threat from
Santorum. He and his allies are pouring money
into the state, near Michigan where he grew up
and his father was governor. Romney won the
Michigan primary on Feb. 28.
Logistically, hes also looking to take advan-
tage of Santorums failure to get the signatures
needed to ensure hes on the ballot statewide in
Illinois.
And Romneys on the attack.
We are not going to be successful in replac-
ing an economic lightweight if we nominate an
economic lightweight, the former
Massachusetts governor said Friday during an
early morning stop in suburban Rosemont near
Chicago. The criticism, focusing on the econo-
my, which is the voters No. 1 concern, was a
one-two punch against both President Barack
Obama and Republican Santorum. I am an
economic heavy weight, and I know how to x
this economy, Romney declared.
Romney also began airing a television adver-
tisement in Illinois accusing Santorum, a former
two-term senator, of having little understanding
of the economy. And he began airing a radio ad
pointing to Santorums crushing defeat for re-
election in 2006. Santorum lost his seat in
Pennsylvania to Democrat Bob Casey by 18
percentage points.
Santorum, just back from campaigning in
Puerto Rico for Sundays
primary there, sounded
condent despite Romneys
heavy organizational and
advertising edge and
unconcerned about the crit-
icism of his economic acu-
men.
Appearing at a Hispanic
grocery store in Prospect
Heights, Ill., he shot back at
his rival.
I believe in a light touch
of government where
Governor Romney believes
in a very heavy touch,
Santorum said. So he is an
economic government
heavyweight.
Obama was fundraising
and campaigning in
Illinois, too, on Friday and
taking his own shots at the
Republicans for negative
campaigning.
Noting he was in the
land of Lincoln, Obama
said the Republicans
werent exactly appealing to
in the Civil War presi-
dents words the better
angels of our nature. He
told his audience at a
fundraiser in Chicago, Im thinking maybe
some Lincoln will rub off on them while theyre
here.
In a wry reference to the heated Republican
race, he said, Weve got some guests in Illinois
this week. Apparently they have not wrapped
up on the other side.
Romney, after Illinois, headed to campaign in
Puerto Rico, where hes hoping to win Sundays
primary.
Santorum faces the same obstacles in Illinois
that he has in previous contests a lack of
money and campaign organization.

OPINION 9
Weekend March 17-18, 2012 THEDAILYJOURNAL
What if Iran means it?
Editor,
War with Iran has been in the news
every day lately, as Mike Caggiano
wrote in his March 10 letter to the
Daily Journal Tomorrows
Mississippi. He argues that if only the
Jews in Israel would give up their land,
sovereignty and right to self-defense,
then magically and overnight the Arab
world will end their 100-year war to
destroy the Jewish State, the ayatollahs
in Iran will abandon their quest for
nuclear weapons and peace will reign
in the Middle East.
That is quite a worldview; the Jews
cause the problems. But what if you are
wrong, Mike? What if the Jews are not
the cause? What if Israel withdraws
without a comprehensive peace agree-
ment, as they did from Gaza, and
10,000 more rockets are red at Jewish
children instead of get[ing] the ball
rolling on normalization?
In 2006, after Israel withdrew from
southern Lebanon, the U.N. failed its
obligation to prevent Hezbollah from
re-arming with 20,000 Syrian and
Iranian rockets. Did you demand peace
from the Arabs? And what if you are
wrong about the ayatollahs in Iran?
What if the ayatollahs mean what they
say, just like another genocidal tyrant
in World War II? What if trusting other
governments to stop the ayatollahs
leads to another 6 million Jews being
murdered in a single ash? Will you
and the world say I am sorry, again?
Larry Feinstein
San Carlos
Clarifying position on Iran
Editor,
The letter published in the March 15
edition of the Daily Journal from
Patricia Gray accuses me of advocating
America attacking Iran in my letter of
March 12. If someone is going to
attack me, at least be honest. Nowhere
in that letter did I advocate, or hint, that
America should attack Iran. I presented
a case for taking Iran seriously, and if
Israel does attack, to know the reason
why. Israel is a sovereign country, and
must do what it has to do to continue to
exist.
Saul Eisenstat, MD

Reality of threat of nuclear Iran
Editor,
Patricia Gray (author of a letter pub-
lished in the March 15 edition of the
Daily Journal) is appalled that some
letter writers take the threat of nuclear
bombs in the hands of Irans Islamic
terror cheerleading Mullahs very seri-
ously and urge thinking seriously about
destroying their atomic weapons capa-
bility. Instead, Ms. Gray urges that we
concentrate our resources on such
things as solar panels for all our build-
ings. Does Ms. Gray think it really
matters how many buildings are solar
paneled if our children and grandchil-
dren live in those buildings under the
daily threat of atomic annihilation?

Letters to the editor
Contra Costa Times
O
ne of the many visions of
Steve Jobs was an all-iPad
classroom in which digital
textbooks replace expensive hardback
books. With the technology developed
and widely disseminated, his dream
should already be a reality.
Mobile devices like the iPad offer far
more than low-cost texts, they can be
valuable teaching tools that greatly
expand students ability to access infor-
mation, explore and create. Moreover,
young students are no strangers to
them.
San Ramon Valley school district
spokesman Terry Koehne understands
this. He said that using an iPad, for
many kids, is like what using a pencil
was to their parents. These kids are
born with a digital device in their
hands. Theyre digital natives. The rest
of us are digital immigrants.
Therein lies a challenge for the
immigrants to accommodate the
natives. If young students have the
ability and desire to use digital devices,
why not use the new technology to
teach them?
Some school districts agree and have
embarked on ambitious programs to
employ iPads or similar devices. The
San Ramon Valley district has a three-
year plan to boost technology, includ-
ing iPads in schools.
The Emery district in Alameda
County plans to use bond money to buy
an iPad for every student in grades
seven to 12. Acalanes High in Lafayette
used iPads in the classroom, and other
schools have pilot programs.
Theres a lot more to mobile digital
devices than a new way to access texts.
They can change the way teachers pres-
ent core materials. Students can interact
with iBooks, view objects in three
dimensions, individualize lessons and
view related materials.
John Perry, director of information
technology in the Emery school district,
is right in saying it is time for the edu-
cation industry to catch up with the stu-
dents, some of whom have been using
digital technology for years.
Unfortunately, there is still a digital
divide. Wealthier school districts and
families have access to the latest tech-
nology, while many students in poorer
neighborhoods do not.
That is why it is so important for all
school districts to provide digital
devices to all students. With the spread
of Wi-Fi on campuses, it is possible for
every student in every classroom to
have an iPad or something like it.
Universal distribution of mobile digital
devices can eliminate the unfair techno-
logical advantage some students have
while enhancing learning of all stu-
dents.
Of course, the devices by themselves
do not provide an adequate education.
School districts need to gure out what
they want to teach and then buy the
right technology to help them succeed.
Despite the obvious and exciting
advantages of digital devices, there is
still some resistance. One teacher in
Palo Alto complained that the devices
dont help our kids be prepared to be in
the classroom. Perhaps its the class-
room and teacher that need to make an
adjustment. Another complaint made by
school districts is the cost of providing
iPads to every student. In a time of
tight education budgets, this is a real
issue, although it shouldnt be.
According to research by the Bay
Area News Group, providing an iPad
and digital texts for a class of 32 stu-
dents for six years (the typical life span
of a textbook) is $36,000. The cost of
regular texts and workbooks for the
same class for six years is $11,328. The
difference is $24,672, which comes out
to and additional expenditure of
$128.50 per student per year.
According to the National Education
Association, California spends $9,541
per student per year. Thus the cost of
providing students with mobile digital
devices like iPads would be an increase
in overall school spending of just 1.34
percent.
Even with a weak economy and tight
education budgets, there is no real scal
reason California cannot move ahead
and provide its students with the latest
21st century technology.
State should provide students digital devices
What you want and
what you can have
O
ne of the requirements of personal maturity is under-
standing the limitations of what one can have, despite
how much one
earnestly wishes for more.
This applies to nations, also.
I particularly refer to military
interventions. The United
States earnestly and sincerely
entered the Vietnam crisis hop-
ing to save the south from
being taken over by the north,
considering that the latter
called itself communist. But
the reality is it was more of a
civil war, after which the
reunited nation began moving
into a market economy.
Because we had become the
strongest nation in the world,
we assumed we could pull that off. That mistake, believing that
strong nations can permanently control and direct other
nations, has plagued the strongest as the Roman and British
Empires, in particular, found out. For example, Britain
assumed it could do so with India when that nation had a pop-
ulation nine times its size. With so many colonies around the
globe, it was impossible for it to keep a sufciently large per-
manent military presence to retain control.
It is this sort of conceit an arrogance of power that got
us into a land war in the divided nation of Vietnam, with a total
population of 60 million. In order to have our way there we
would have needed a permanent occupation. That would have
just pleased the then Soviet Union, having our troops tied up
there with a death loss of 58,000, the wounding of more than
130,000 and, collaterally, the drugging and mental break down
of innumerable others of our young.
Then, we get embroiled in the landmass of Iraq, something
wisely avoided by President George H. W. Bush and General
Colin Powell after Desert Storm, expecting to create a
democracy in a nation of 25 million of an entirely different cul-
ture. And people, such as little old me, warned that as soon as
we pulled out it would go right back to the 1,400-year
internecine battles we had interrupted with our invasion. And,
that is happening right now, after the government asked us to
leave. American human toll: 5,000 dead, 42,000 wounded.
Chasing Bin Laden, we entered the landmass of Afghanistan
10 years ago, with an estimated population of 34 million and
became embroiled in war with our previous ally against their
Russian invasion, the Taliban. How could our leaders at that
time not have realized that we cannot permanently defeat an
indigenous army made up from a population that has been
there, perhaps, more than a thousand years and just pull out
and go home, as planned? Shattered American lives: 1,800
dead, 10,000 wounded.
And, that is not counting the estimated trillions of dollars
these adventures cost that could have been used to further build
up and strengthen our own nation.
Moral: Its not what you want but what you can realistically
have. Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas rightly called it
The Arrogance of Power, or the immortality syndrome of an
older nation becoming an adolescent in power.
***
Rick Santorums victories in some of the Republican primar-
ies in the South, narrow as they have been, doesnt surprise me.
He is an excellent campaigner, a very likable guy, sincere and
forthright in his convictions and an underdog, nancially, to the
super-funded Romney and Gingrich.
Of course, I would be concerned about what those convic-
tions are that stir his soul so deeply. If I would need to con-
dense them, it would be this advocate of no walls between his
church and state in our land would, as president, seek to imple-
ment its tenets legislatively.
But, since the conservatives have complained endlessly they
have not been able to gain the White House recently because
their candidates have not been conservative enough, I would
like to see him take the Republican nomination. Then, in the
election, we would have a clear-cut voter test of the political
and economic philosophies of the majority of our citizens, even
to the most extreme.
They know what they want. Lets see if they can have it.
***
Other than that, Ive come to the conclusion that conservative
candidates are like suicide bombers. The more they ignite
their bombs against their competition, the more they blow
themselves up for the national elections. And, as for conserva-
tive talk show bombers, now advertisers are also shying
away from Mark Levin, Tom Leykis, Michael Savage, Glenn
Beck and Sean Hannity. Conservative defenders of these, right-
fully, counter that liberal talk show hosts more often get a pass
on the demeaning names they use. But there is simply no other
occasion in talk media history that has even been within a
country mile of Rushs nine hours of tirade, ending with his
suggestion that Fluke and other women make videos of their
sexual experiences. Bamm!!

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK It was a mundane
end to an electrifying week on the stock
market.
Stock indexes wavered indecisively
between small gains and losses Friday
before closing mixed. Earlier in the
week, the Standard & Poors 500 and the
Nasdaq composite index were on a tear,
hitting levels that hadnt been reached in
years.
On Friday, the Dow Jones industrial
average and the Nasdaq both ended the
day down. The Dow fell 20.14 points to
13,232.62. The Nasdaq fell 1.11 points
to 3,055.26. The broader S&P 500 index
edged up 1.57 points to 1,404.17.
Despite Fridays losses, the three
major indexes were all still up more than
2 percent for the week. The Dow had its
rst down day after seven straight gains,
ending its longest winning streak since
February 2011.
Investors were weighing competing
reports about the health of the U.S.
economy. A key measure of consumer
sentiment came in lower than expected,
and high gas prices continued to weigh
down hopes about a recovery. On the
plus side, prices for other goods,
including food, stabilized.
Telly Zachariades, a partner at The
Valence Group investment bank, said the
market appears to be on the upswing,
even if its marred by a few off-days.
Its almost like today was a spring train-
ing game that ended up getting rained
out, he said.
Others think the markets rise earlier
this week only masks underlying prob-
lems in the economys fundamentals,
like uncertainty over oil prices and tax
policies and the countrys burgeoning
decit.
The market is giving us a free pass on
our unsustainable fiscal positions
through the presidential election, said
Barry Knapp, head of equity strategies at
Barclays Capital. But in 2013, were
going to have to deal with this.
What weve seen today, Knapp
added, is a little bit of a warning sign.
The markets back-and-forth pattern
this week was caused partly by conict-
ing news about the economy. The
University of Michigans closely
watched consumer sentiment index
came in below analysts expectations,
driven by worries about rising gas prices.

Apples latest iPad drew die-hard fans
to stores in the U.S. and nine other coun-
tries Friday, many of whom lined up for
hours to be among the rst to buy one.
The third version of the iPad went on
sale there at 8 a.m. local time, with 25
other countries getting it a week later.
The new model, at prices starting at
$499 in the U.S., comes with a faster
processor, a much sharper screen and an
improved camera, though the changes
arent as big as the upgrade to the iPad 2.
I dont think its worth the price but I
guess Im a victim of society, Athena
May, 21, said in Paris.
About 450 people lined up outside
Apples Ginza store in downtown
Tokyo. Some had spent the night
sleeping outside the store. In
Madison, Wis., people brought reclin-
ing lawn chairs for naps, while a few
played games on older iPads.
Dipak Varsani, 21, got in line in
London at 1 a.m. Thursday local time
and said he was drawn by the new
devices better screen.
Youve got clearer movies and clear-
er games, he said. I use it as a multi-
media device.
In Hong Kong, a steady stream of buy-
ers picked up their new devices at preset
times at the citys sole Apple store after
entering an online lottery.
The system, which required buyers to
have local ID cards, also helped thwart
visitors from mainland China Apples
fastest growing market who have a
reputation for scooping up Apple gadg-
ets to get them earlier and avoid sales tax
at home. A release date in China has not
yet been announced.
Kelvin Tsui, a 26-year-old hospital
worker in Hong Kong, was allowed to
buy two and planned to sell the second
to make money.
Two years after the debut of the rst
iPad, the devices launch has become the
second-biggest gadget event of the
year, after the annual iPhone release.
Customers could have ordered iPads
ahead of time to arrive at home Friday,
but many came out in person for the
atmosphere.
People always stop to talk to us,
Harry Barrington-Mountford, 22, said in
London. I am exhausted though. I have
only had about 45 minutes of sleep.
Christos Pavlides, 24, got to a down-
town Philadelphia store at 10 p.m.
Thursday and was the rst in line. He
already owns the two previous iPad
models and several iPhones and gures
the new iPad was next.
Despite competition from cheaper
tablet computers such as Amazon.com
Inc.s Kindle Fire, the iPad remains the
most popular tablet computer. Apple Inc.
has sold more than 55 million iPads
since its debut in 2010.

NEW YORK AT&T Inc. on Friday
gave up on appealing an $850 award
won by an iPhone user in small claims
court, and sent him a check.
Matt Spaccarelli, of Simi Valley,
Calif., had sued the phone company
because it was slowing down the data
service on his phone. Spaccarelli has an
unlimited data plan, but as of this fall,
AT&T had begun slowing download
speeds for these subscribers if they use
more than a certain amount of data in a
month.
Spaccarelli argued that unlimited is
unlimited, and the judge agreed at a
hearing on Feb. 24.
AT&T initially said it would appeal
the decision. It then offered to go into
settlement talks with him, in a letter that
implied that AT&T was looking at can-
celling his service completely.
Spaccarelli has admitted to tethering
his phone to other devices, providing
them Internet access through AT&Ts
wireless network. Thats against AT&Ts
rules.
Spaccarelli turned the settlement offer
down.
AT&T scotches appeal, pays small-claims litigant
By Elliot Spagat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO A judge approved a
settlement Friday to give owners of
Honda Civic hybrids up to $200 each
over claims that the fuel economy of the
cars was inated.
In making the ruling. Superior Court
Judge Timothy Taylor cast aside argu-
ments that a motorists victory in small
claims court entitled other owners to a
larger award.
Taylor said the essence of a settlement
is compromise.
No doubt plaintiffs would have loved
to have gotten more. Certainly their
counsel had every incentive to get as
much as possible, he said. Honda
undoubtedly has many arrows left in its
quiver, and certainly would have pre-
ferred to pay nothing.
Taylor listened to nearly two hours of
arguments before issuing the nal rul-
ing.
The case gained widespread attention
after a Los Angeles woman won a
$9,867 judgment last month against
Honda in small claims court a ruling
the carmaker vowed to appeal. Plaintiff
Heather Peters opted out of the class
action so she could try to claim a larger
damage award for her the failure of her
2006 Civic to deliver the 50 mpg that
was promised.
The judge said Peters legal victory
carried little weight.
Peters, who recently reinstated her law
license, said Friday that she was disap-
pointed but not surprised at the ruling by
Taylor.
The judge got testy with her last
month when she tried to address him at a
hearing, saying he had not yet received
confirmation that her license was
renewed.

Administration outlines
options on birth control
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The Obama administration signaled
Friday its willing to help insurance companies offset the cost
of providing free birth control to women working at church-
afliated institutions like hospitals and colleges.
By nding a way to make the middlemen whole, the admin-
istration may be able to extricate itself from an unexpected
political furor over birth control that has mobilized partisans
across the political spectrum a half-century after the advent of
the pill.
A 32-page regulatory proposal unveiled Friday offered
options for providing free birth control to women whose
employers object to contraception on religious grounds. The
government now classies birth control as preventive care, and
President Barack Obamas health care law requires health
plans to cover prevention at no cost to the consumer.
Churches, synagogues, mosques and other institutions
whose primary purpose is to propagate faith are exempt from
the mandate. But when the administration sought to impose the
requirement on religious nonprots serving the public, it trig-
gered a backlash. That forced President Barack Obama himself
to offer a compromise: insurers, not the religious employers
would bear the responsibility.
Fridays proposal lists options for carrying out the presi-
dents compromise without forcing insurers to bear the whole
cost or tempting them to engineer backdoor maneuvers to
recoup money from religious institutions that object to birth
control.
Administration ofcials are seeking public comment for 90
days and will sift the responses before making any nal deci-
sion. Reecting the sensitivity of the issue, ofcials spoke only
on condition of anonymity.
Our general principle is that we want to maintain the pos-
ture that a religious organization that objects to paying for con-
traception, wont, said an ofcial who briefed reporters.

RECORD-SETTING ROUND: MENLO BOYS GOLF TEAM SETS NEW SCHOOL SCORING MARK WITH TEAM TOTAL OF 4-UNDER 176 >>> PAGE 12
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After ending the previous two Peninsula
Athletic League seasons looking up at
Hillsdale atop the Bay Division standings, the
Carlmont softball team appears poised to
retake the top spot and, like the Scots did from
2003 to 2009 in winning the Bay Division
title, hold on to it for a long time.
The Scots are off to a 7-1 start to the pre-
season with the PAL opener scheduled for
Tuesday. In the Bay Division, Aragon will
open at Capuchino, Burlingame heads to the
coast to take on Half Moon Bay, while the
schedule makers wasted little time in match-
ing up the two-time defending Hillsdale
Knights at the Scots.
In the Ocean Division openers Wednesday,
Menlo-Atherton should be a good test for a
hot Woodside squad, last years surprise team
San Mateo travels to a strong Sequoia side,
while Mills rejoins the Ocean after a year in
the Bay and will travel to South City. El
Camino at Jefferson wraps up the opening-
day schedule.
All games are slated for 4 p.m. starts.
As usual, the Bay Division should be wide
open as it continues to rank as one of the top
divisions in the Central Coast Section.
Carlmont, however, with eight returners and a
four-deep pitching staff, has to be the odds-on
favorite to take down Hillsdale.
We have a pretty good group of girls, said

GREENSBORO, N.C. The Lehigh
Mountain Hawks said they werent afraid of
mighty Duke.
Maybe no one believed them at the time, but
the Patriot League champions proved they
were serious.
C.J. McCollum scored 30 points and Lehigh
upset Duke 75-70 to become the second No.
15 seed to beat a No. 2 during a wild Friday in
the NCAA tournament.
The Mountain Hawks are the sixth 15 seed
overall to pull off the trick. Norfolk State
edged Missouri 86-84 in the West Regional
earlier in the day, and No. 13 seed Ohio
knocked off Michigan to add to the madness.
Duke dropped its rst tournament game for
only the second time in the past 16 years, and
this one occurred just 55 miles from its cam-
pus. The Blue Devils also lost their opener
against 11th-seeded Virginia Commonwealth
in 2007.
The Blue Devils had no answer for the
speedy McCollum, the two-time Patriot
League player of the year and the nations
fth-leading scorer.
It didnt help that the Blue Devils hit just 6
of 26 shots from 3-point range.
Lehigh (27-7) led most of the game, draw-
ing support from North Carolina fans who

RALEIGH, N.C. The stealthy 49ers
are in the chase for Peyton Manning. The
Dolphins and Cardinals are out. And the
Broncos and Titans want to make sure the
four-time NFL MVP is healthy.
Got all that?
After a brief lull, the pursuit of Manning
sure got interesting in a hurry Friday.
The years top free agent, who has been
rehabbing in North Carolina after a string
of neck surgeries, threw the football at
Dukes athletic facilities for Hall of Fame
QB turned Broncos executive John Elway
along with Denver coach John Fox.
The workout lasted a little under two
hours, and when it was over Elway seemed
convinced that Manning is still Manning.
We enjoyed visiting with Peyton today
in N.C., he wrote on his Twitter account.
He threw the ball great and looked very
comfortable out there.
A few minutes later, Elway posted:
Watching him throw today was the next
step in this important process for our team
and Peyton. It was a productive visit and
went well.

Whenever a team does something unexpected
early in the season, coaches can sometimes
wonder if their team is peaking too soon.
Or, it can be a sign of things to come.
Well have to wait to see how the rest of the
season plays out, but the Menlo School boys
golf team is on pace to have an outstanding
2012. The Knights set a school record in beat-
ing Crystal Springs, 176-220 at Poplar Creek
Golf Course Thursday afternoon.
The score of 176 tops the mark of 184 set last
season. But the most amazing part is the
Knights nished 4-under par as a team, with six
birdies and two eagles among them. Usually a
team will have one, maybe two, players shoot a
sub-par round. Menlo had three under par and
two others just miss, nishing at 1-over.
Not many teams shoot 4-under, said Menlo
coach Dave Buchanan. It was really quite a
round.
Making the achievement even more amazing
is the fact the Knights record-setting round
came in less than ideal conditions. While the
wind and on-and-off drizzle can make the ball
dance around in the air, the greens were espe-
cially receptive. If the Knights could get their
ball on the green, it would stay.
Perhaps those conditions helped contribute to
eagles from junior Andrew Buchanan, who
added two birdies on the day for a 3-under 33,
and freshman Ethan Wong, who nished the
day with a 1-under 35.
Wongs was especially impressive. He drove
the 259-yard, par-4 seventh hole and then
drained a 10-foot putt for eagle.
The great thing about Poplar is, there are
three drivable par 4s, so these guys were licking
their chops at that, Buchanan said. [Wongs]
was the closest ball, so he had to sit there on the
green and watch three chips and four putts, and
it didnt bother him at all.
Finishing between Buchanan and Wong was
senior Jackson Dean, who shot a 2-under 34.
Dean was nailed down the stretch, scoring a
birdie on three straight holes 6, 7 and 8 to
turn a 1-over into a 2-under.
Seniors James Huber and Will Petit both n-
ished with 1-over 37s.
[Huber] was the one [who] really came
through for us. He made a big jump in his
scores this week. Hes been (shooting) in the
50s, Dave Buchanan said. [Petit] scrambled
well.
Colum Coyne, who is playing his rst year of
varsity golf, red a 7-over 43. Not great, but not
terrible.
For everybody but Andrew, this was every-
bodys best round of the year, but only our third
match, Dave Buchanan said. I dont think, at
the end of the season, this will be their lowest
scores of the season.
Menlo puts together record-breaking round
Not many teams shoot 4-under. It was really quite a round.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MESA, Ariz. Eric Surkamp made anoth-
er pitch to become part of San Franciscos
rotation.
A long shot to claim a spot, Surkamp threw
four effective innings as the Giants beat the
Chicago Cubs 3-2 Friday.
Surkamp went 2-2 in six starts for San
Francisco as a rookie last season. He gave up
one run and four hits, striking out four.
Im happy with how I did, said Surkamp,
nicked only by Anthony Rizzos home run.
My arm speed is coming back a little bit. I
ran into a little dead arm early in spring train-
ing. But Im starting to feel better.
Surkamps chances to make the rotation rest
on whether the Giants start somebody on the
disabled list.
Eric threw well, Giants manager Bruce
Bochy said. It seems like hes developing
more and more condence each time he gets
out there.
For the Cubs, Matt Garza chopped into his
sky-high spring ERA by allowing two runs
and three hits in four innings. He walked one
and struck out three.
I pulled out all my stuff today, said Garza,
hoping to be the opening day starter for the
Cubs. That makes it a lot easier when I need
a weapon besides a fastball and a changeup.
Im happy we made progress but Im still
not done, he said. Ive done this the last
seven years. Six actually it took one year to
gure it out. I getting my ready at my pace. I
know my body.
Garza carried a 16.20 ERA into the game.
He sailed through the rst three innings before
giving up two runs in the fourth.
When April 5th comes, Ill be ready to go.
Its one step at a time to get everything right,
get everything in sync. The hardest thing
about this game is getting back into the
rhythm, he said.
Rizzos homer was his second of the spring.
Catcher Blake Lalli, a non-roster invitee, also
hit a solo homer for the Cubs.
Cubs manager Dale Sveum has been
preaching aggressive baserunning. But in this
game, the approach backred in the ninth
inning.
With the Cubs trailing 3-2, Joe Mather sin-
gled but was then thrown out trying to go form
rst to third on Brett Jacksons sacrice bunt.
For the Giants, Buster Posey went 1 for 2.
He is scheduled to serve as the DH in a minor
league game, then take a few days off, Bochy
said.
The Cubs will play a split-squad set
Saturday, with one game against the Athletics
at Phoenix and the other being the rst of two
against the Texas Rangers in Las Vegas.
It breaks up spring training, Sveum said
of the Vegas trip. I dont know if its a
reward. Youre still playing. You dont get to
enjoy Vegas, though Im sure somebody will.
NOTES: The game drew a packed crowd of
13,245...The Cubs picked up RHP Frankie de
la Cruz off waivers from Milwaukee.
Surkamp strong in Giants win
Pettitte makes
comeback, rejoins Yankees
TAMPA, Fla Andy Pettitte went with his
heart and headed back to the hill.
A year after the star left-hander said he did-
nt have the desire to keep pitching, Pettitte
ended his brief retirement and announced
Friday he was returning to the New York
Yankees.
Three months shy of his 40th birthday,
Pettitte signed a minor league deal with an invi-
tation to spring training. If his comeback is suc-
cessful and hes added to the major league ros-
ter, he would get a $2.5 million, one-year con-
tract.
My desire to work is back, Pettitte said on
a conference call. The commitment level was-
nt there last year. I dont know if it was
because I had a year off, just my desire to work
was back. This is where Im at right now.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman
said there are no incentives in the deal and that
Pettitte who is expected in camp Tuesday
will only be a starter. Pettitte has pitched in the
majors for 16 seasons, 13 with the Yankees.

against their rivals.
Lehigh coach Brett Reed said before the
game his team came to Greensboro to do more
than just compete and thats exactly what it
did.
The Mountain Hawks led most of the rst
half despite shooting just 38 percent from the
eld.
Lehigh grabbed the lead for good at the 8:21
mark of the second half when Mackey
McKnight made a 3-pointer.
The Mountain Hawks momentum contin-
ued to build as the game went on and they
started to pull away in the nal three minutes.
McCollum hit a 3-pointer off a screen from
Gabe Knutson and John Adams followed with
a breakaway dunk to push the lead to 61-54
with two minutes to go.
Duke would get as close as three twice in
the nal 30 seconds, including when Quinn
Cook hit a 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds left.
Duke fouled McCollum on the inbounds
pass and he made up for two earlier misses
from the line by hitting both shots to seal a
shocking victory that sent the Greensboro
Coliseum crowd into a frenzy.
Lehigh got a huge game from Knutson, who
scored 17 points on 5-of-5 shooting from the
eld and a 6-of-7 performance from the foul
line.
McCollum was 9 of 24 from the eld and 10
of 16 from the foul line. He also handed out
six assists and grabbed six rebounds.
Mason Plumlee and Austin Rivers led Duke
with 19 points apiece. The Blue Devils (27-7),
who were playing without injured forward
Ryan Kelly, nished the year with back-to-
back losses. They lost to Florida State in the
ACC seminals.

OMAHA, Neb. Purdue made it through
its NCAA opener again, but Saint Marys
made it interesting.
Lewis Jackson made the go-ahead free
throws with 22.8 seconds left after the Gaels
had rallied from 11 points down late to take
their rst lead, and the Boilermakers won 72-
69 in the Midwest Regional on Friday night.
Jorden Page hit a 3-pointer with 44.2 sec-
onds left to nish a 14-2 run that brought the
Gaels back from a 66-55 decit with 4:24 to
play.
Purdues Terone Johnson and Saint Marys
Clint Steindl were called for traveling before
Jackson made his free throws. Page badly
missed what would have been a go-ahead 3
with 10 seconds left, and Robbie Hummel
made two free throws for a three-point lead.
Rob Jones, who had 17 of his 23 points in
the second half, missed a 3 at the buzzer for
the seventh-seeded Gaels (27-6).
Purdue won its NCAA tournament opener
for the 14th straight time. The Gaels were
back in the tournament for the rst time since
their surprising run to the round of 16 in 2010.
Johnson had 21 points for the 10th-seeded
Boilermakers (22-12). Jackson scored 15 of
his 18 in the second half and Hummel and
Anthony Johnson nished with 10 apiece.
Purdue turned back the Gaels repeatedly in
the second half before the West Coast
Conference champions made one last push.
Matthew Dellavedovas three-point play got
the Gaels within 66-58 with 4 minutes to play.
After Dellavedova took a charge from D.J.
Byrd, he drove the length of the oor for a
layup. Hummel missed at the other end, and
Jones hit a jumper to make it a four-point
game with 2:41 left.
Terone Johnson badly missed a free throw,
and Jones hit a baseline jumper.
Jacksons drive to the hoop put Purdue back
up 68-64 with 1:37 left. Dellavedova made a
couple of free throws to pull the Gaels within
two. After Hummel missed a 3, Page took a
pass from Dellavedova for his only 3 of the
night and a 69-68 Saint Marys lead.
Hummel, back in the tournament after miss-
ing the past two Purdue appearances because
of ACL tears in his right knee, didnt seem to
miss a beat on the big stage. He hit an early 3,
swapped some skin with Ryne Smith on the
way back to play defense, and later got a
friendly bounce from the rim on a baseline
jumper.
But Terone Johnson, starting his eighth
straight game after beginning the season on
the bench, carried the Boilermakers in the rst
half. He shot 6 of 8 and had 15 points, almost
double his season average.
He scored seven points in an 8-0 Purdue
run, nishing the spurt with a layup after Byrd
rebounded Jacksons missed free throw for a
27-16 lead.
Saint Marys struggled for the rst 20 min-
utes, shooting just 31 percent and missing all
but one of their 15 3-point attempts. The
Gaels nished at 42 percent and went 4 of 25
on 3s.
The atmosphere at CenturyLink Center was
subdued early, with the crowd drained from
No. 15 seed Norfolk States 86-84 upset of
Missouri in the previous game.
During the rst media timeout a group of
Norfolk State players walked into arena, some
still in game jerseys, and got a big cheer as
they lifted their hands to raise the roof.

points and 14 rebounds, making several key
plays in the closing minutes, and No. 15 seed
Norfolk State held on to stun second-seeded
Missouri 86-84 on Friday in the West Regional.
Pendarvis Williams and Chris McEachin each
added 20 points for the MEAC champion
Spartans (26-9), who made their rst trip to the
NCAA tournament a memorable one. They
became the fth No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2 and
the rst since fellow conference member
Hampton in 2001.
OQuinn had a chance to take some of the
drama out of the nish when he went to the free
throw line with 3.8 seconds to go, but the 70-per-
cent foul shooter missed both tries.
Missouri coach Frank Haith called a timeout
with 2.9 seconds left to set up a nal play, and
the ball wound up in the hands of Phil Pressey.
He took a couple of hard dribbles and let loose a
3-pointer from the wing that clanked off the
back iron as the buzzer sounded.
Norfolk State advanced to play No. 7 seed
Florida in the third round Sunday.
Michael Dixon led Big 12 tournament cham-
pion Missouri (30-5) with 22 points, and Pressey
and fellow guard Marcus Denmon nished with
20 points each. Pressey also had eight assists.
No. 9 Saint Louis 61, No. 8 Memphis 54.
COLUMBUS, Ohio Kwamain Mitchell
scored 22 points, including three big 3-pointers,
and Saint Louis rode its gritty defense to a 61-54
victory over Memphis on Friday night in a West
Regional second-round game.
Mitchell closed the rst half by banking in a 3,
then nailed two others to help the ninth-seeded
Billikens (26-7) overturn an eight-point second-
half decit. Theyll move on to play the winner
of LIU Brooklyn and top-seeded Michigan State
on Sunday.
Brian Conklin added 16 points, including ve

The risk is that gas prices could eventually slow growth by
causing some people to cut spending on other goods, from
appliances and furniture to electronics and vacations. Gasoline
purchases provide less benet for the U.S. economy because
about half of the revenue ows to oil-exporting nations, though
U.S. oil companies and gasoline retailers also benet.
Many American businesses suffer, too. They must pay more
for fuel and shipping and for materials affected by high oil
prices, such as petroleum-based plastics. Prot margins get
squeezed.
Even if prices ease after the summer driving season, dont
expect gasoline to fall below $3 a gallon. The government esti-
mates that this years average will be $3.79, followed by $3.72
in 2013.
Most economists accept a rough guideline that a 25-cent rise
in gas prices knocks about 0.2 percentage point off economic
growth.
Gas prices also have an outsize impact on consumer con-
dence, Christopher noted. Its a high-frequency purchase.
Consumers notice the price whether theyre lling up or driv-
ing past a gas station.
Along with the unemployment rate and stock market levels,
gasoline prices heavily determine how Americans see their
nancial health.
That effect was evident Friday when a decline was reported
in the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan index of con-
sumer sentiment. The result surprised some economists who
had assumed that higher stock prices and lower unemployment
would lift consumer sentiment.
The Michigan report showed that gasoline worries ... are
outweighing stock market gains and job growth when it
comes to influencing consumer attitudes, said Michael
Hanson, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
The price of gasoline has climbed 17 percent since the year
began to a national average of $3.83 a gallon. Thats the
highest ever for this time of year. A month ago, it was $3.52.
Gasoline prices have followed oil prices up. Oil is rising, in
part, because of tensions surrounding Irans nuclear program.
Iranian leaders have threatened to close a shipping route into
the Persian Gulf. Experts say the standoff could lead to tighter
global oil supplies later this year.
Contributing to higher gas prices is stronger demand from
China and other developing economies.
Most economists expect gas prices to top $4 a gallon by
May. That would drag on consumer spending and the econo-
my.
Its like a tax, Hanson said.
Economists note that gas prices tend to hit consumer con-
dence especially hard once they surpass round numbers, such
as $4 a gallon or $5 a gallon. Consumer condence levels pro-
vide a rough guide to what Americans will actually do when at
the mall or their favorite store.
A Gallup poll last week found that nearly half of Americans
would make signicant spending cuts in other areas if gas
topped $5 a gallon. On average, Americans said gas prices of
$5.30 to $5.35 are a tipping point that would cause them to
make those cutbacks.
Motorists have responded to rising pump prices by driving
fewer miles in more efcient vehicles. Theyve conserved so
much fuel this year that theyve effectively reduced gasoline
spending even though a gallon is an average of 32 cents high-
er than it was a year ago, said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at
the Oil Price Information Service.
Gas prices really choked the consumer in 2008, Kloza
said. This year Im not so sure.
Retailers have begun to worry that higher gas prices will
eventually force many consumers to cut back.
If gas prices do start (going) upward again and creeping
back up to $4 and $5, I think that is going to be a problem for
our customer, Charles Holley, Wal-Marts chief nancial of-
cer, said this month.
Some trends in the economy should cushion the impact of
higher gas prices. Americans saved more last year. That gives
them some leeway to pay for costlier gas out of savings rather
than cutting spending in other areas.
Easing the impact further, other energy prices have fallen
even as gas costs have soared. The price of natural gas to resi-
dential consumers has dropped an average of 8 percent a year
since 2009.
Consumers saved more money in January from lower natu-
ral gas and electricity prices than they paid in higher gas costs,
Christopher said.
The price of gasoline will likely follow developments in
Iran. Continued sparring between Iran and the West means
prices will keep going up. But if Iran adopts a more concilia-
tory tone, oil and gasoline prices could tumble.
The outcome will help determine the U.S. elections in
November. Obama has been under pressure to do something to
ease prices even as the economy is producing its best job
growth since the recession ended.
A Washington Post-ABC News poll conducted last week
found that 59 percent of voters disapproved of the way Obama
has handled the economy. A month ago, the same poll found
that 53 percent disapproved.
Obamas Republican opponents have criticized him for
blocking efforts to expand drilling in restricted areas of the
Gulf of Mexico and in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge.

WASHINGTON George Clooney
and his father were arrested Friday dur-
ing a protest outside the Sudanese
Embassy, and the actor said he has asked
President Barack Obama to engage
China on stopping a humanitarian crisis
in northern Africa.
The protesters accuse Sudanese
President Omar al-Bashir of provoking a
humanitarian crisis and blocking food
and aid from entering the Nuba
Mountains in the countys border region
with South Sudan.
Clooney, his father, Nick Clooney, and
others were arrested after being warned
three times not to cross a police line out-
side the embassy. Those taken into cus-
tody included NAACP President Ben
Jealous, Martin Luther King III, and
actor and comedian Dick Gregory.
Several members of Congress also
were arrested, including Massachusetts
Reps. James McGovern and John Olver,
Texas Rep. Al Green and Rep. Jim
Moran of Virginia. They were hand-
cuffed and placed into a U.S. Secret
Service van.
Clooney was released several hours
later after paying a $100 ne.
The arrests came after Clooney met
this week with Obama, testied in the
Senate and attended a state dinner for
British Prime Minister David Cameron.
Clooney told The Associated Press
before he was arrested that he can only
hope to draw attention to the crisis in
Sudan but that he doesnt know if any
progress has been made. He said he was
impressed, though, with Obamas
engagement on the issue.
Its amazing to sit down with a world
leader who knows all of the intricacies
of whats going on in Sudan, he said.
The actor said he asked Obama to
involve China more in pushing for a
solution in Sudan. A YouTube video
Clooney recently posted online from his
trip to Sudan appears to show a Chinese-
made missile being used against the
Nuba community.
Clooney said international leaders
need to follow the money owing to
Sudans leaders to expose corruption.
This is a moment where we have a
chance to do something because if we
dont, in the next three to four months,
theres going to be a real humanitarian
disaster, Clooney said before his arrest.
The situation is urgent, he said, because
the upcoming rainy season would block
transportation of food aid to the area.
Clooney said he didnt know if his
actions would make a difference but that he
at least wanted to make more people aware.
Its such a silly thought to think
youre actually succeeding in any of
this, he said. But if its loud enough
and you keep making it loud enough at
the very least people will know about it,
and you cant say we didnt know. Thats
the rst step.
