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

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.

OMAHA, Neb. Kyle OQuinn had 26
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

away.
Will Barton had 16 points for the eighth-seed-

As the home of the San Francisco Giants,
AT&T Park has seen its fair share of low scor-
ing games.
So, Saturday, when the San Jose
Earthquakes borrow the friendly connes to
host the Houston Dynamo in a Major League
Soccer game, AT&T Park should feel right at,
well, home.
The Dynamo come into town as part of their
seven-game road trek to begin the MLS sea-
son as they patiently await the completion of
their new stadium in Houston.
The Dynamo began the year much like San
Jose, scoring a lone goal in a win against
Chivas USA.
But unlike the Dymano, the Quakes looked
like a team that had more than one idea on
offense. Their score in the 15th minute off the
foot of Chris Wondolowski was the beginning
of an evening where San Jose controlled the
run of play until the games nal two or
three minutes, there was very little doubt that
the Quakes would and should come away with
the win.
Its much too early to start thinking play-
offs, but San Jose has pieces on the 2012
squad that may in fact do some positive
things.
Last year, we would have most probably, if
not denitely, conceded a late goal, said San
Jose head coach Frank Yallop after the 1-0
win. I said this week its like a Cup nal to us
(the season opener against New England), and
we won the cup nal. So now we can build on
it.
The play of forward Steven Lenhart stood
out. The other San Jose striker didnt get on
the stat sheet, but his play up top for the
Quakes went a level above promising. Lenhart
was placed slightly in front of Wondolowski
and gave New England defenders ts the
entire night with his constant pressure on the
ball. He drew a handful of fouls and did what
he does best: cause headaches, which opens
the door for Wondolowski to score goals.
Thats not to say that Lenhart wont be expect-
ed to nd the net, but if he continues to play
the way he did against the Revolution, the
goals will come.
Speaking of pressure, Marvin Chavez, had
himself quite the game on the wings for San
Jose.
Much like Lenhart, Chavez will be looked
upon for pressure he showed last Saturday
that he has a knack for challenging lazy
defenders in their defensive third, getting
steals and jump-starting the Quakes offense
on a kind of condensed counter-attack.
Chavez did just that at least a handful of times
against the Revolution. Hes faster than the
man he replaced, Bobby Convey, and his
crosses into the box will get better as he accli-
mates himself with his new team better.
Theres no question hes got the touch:
Yallop had Chavez take all the corner kicks in
the 70 minutes that he was in the game.
Saturdays matchup with Houston will be a
defensive battle and by the looks of things,
San Jose has the soldiers for that type of
game.
Quakes hope to build on solid start

LOCAL SCOREBOARD
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The ink is drying on the offer letter
and its ofcial: College of San
Mateo offensive lineman Hoko
Fanaika is going from Bulldog to
Tiger.
CSMs football signed their
biggest transfer of the off-season
Friday when Fanaika, a Sacramento
native, agreed to play for the
Louisiana State University Tigers and
Les Miles of the Southeastern
Conference.
Fanaika, a JC All-American line-
man, elded offers from all over the
country with programs like Florida
and Kansas sending offers and
requesting visits.
Hes so excit-
ed, said Tim
Tulloch, CSM
assistant head
coach and defen-
sive coordinator.
What I love
about him, hes
just a competi-
tive kid. And
when youre
looking at options like Florida, LSU,
Kansas and Hawaii, and you choose
the one at the highest level, it just
shows what a competitor he is. He
wants to go play with the best. Im
extremely excited for him and I know
hes really looking forward to the
opportunity.
Fanaikas signing is the 17th for the
CSM program this offseason, and
Tulloch said seven more Bulldogs are
weighing offers and are expected to
sign by June. Fanaika was the crown
jewel of the transfer period and
signings dont get much bigger than
LSU, who nished No. 2 last after
losing in the BCS National
Championship game.
To Hoko, his number one thing
was getting his education and being
able to get a degree in his major,
Tulloch said of Fanaikas choice, one
that has played out a bit on CSM
Footballs Facebook page, with pic-
tures of his visits posted online. And
then two, having an opportunity
when its all said and done, to play in
the NFL. They had a very detailed
plan for him in terms of strength and
conditioning, and the types of things
they were going to ask him to do [in
the offense]. They have great aca-
demic support and he just felt like it
was the right t for him.
Fanaikas signing is the latest in a
great string of transfers for CSM.
Last year, wide receiver Rashaan
Vaughn transferred to Pac-12 power-
house Oregon and offensive lineman
Jeremy Galten donned the red and
yellow of USC. Both those teams are
expected to be in the Top 5 when the
Associated Press releases its pre-sea-
son poll later this year. LSU is in on
that list too.
And it isnt just Fanaika. Earlier
this week, CSM long-snapper Daniel
Pearlstone committed to Missouri
Valley. Before him, linebacker Justin
Sagote accepted an offer from
Washington State.
Im just so proud, Tulloch said.
All the hard work these guys do, and
they work we really push these
guys. And we push them in all areas
weight room, academics, on the
eld, life skills, all the stuff that we
do, were really a demanding pro-
gram. And to see the hard work pay
off to get to a place like LSU [is
great].
Theyre great kids. They under-
stand whats important. These are
guys that were unrecruited out of
high school who made a commitment
to doing things the right way within
our program and theyre playing at
the highest level and doing incredibly
well.

Carlmont coach Jim Liggett. I think all our kids,
with the exception of a couple, have played at the
varsity level.
Four of the eight returners are either freshmen or
sophomores, giving them all at least one season of
varsity experience under their belts. The Scots also
have a corps of senior leaders to help guide the
young but experienced team through the
rigorous Bay Division season.
I think Cap is going to be strong again,
Burlingame is going to be strong, Liggett said. I
think this will be a season where ve or six teams
can knock anybody off.
Hillsdale lost some of the pop that made the
Knights a two-time defending Bay Division
champion, as well as one of the best pitchers in
CCS the last four years. The Knights should be
OK in the pitching department as Dani Fonseca
takes over. Shes already earned a scholarship to
University of Colorado-Colorado Springs as a
pitcher. The Knights offense, however, will be a
work in progress.
Capuchino, the defending CCS Division III
champion, lost one of the top pitchers and catchers
in the PAL to graduation, but the Mustangs still
have plenty of talent coming back. Seven players
from last years third-place nishing team are back
and if the Mustangs nd a capable pitcher, they
should be right in the mix.
Burlingame is off to a strong pre-season start,
going 5-3 against a relatively tough schedule. Both
Natalie Saucedo and Kristin Chaney are raking
right now, with both sporting batting averages over
.500 right now.
Terra Nova, Aragon and Half Moon Bay have
struggled early in the preseason, but as history tells
us, Aragon and Half Moon Bay are capable of
beating anyone at anytime, while the Tigers took a
big step forward last season. If they can maintain
that caliber of play, theyll be OK.
While the Bay Division has any number of
teams winning the crown, the Ocean Division has
been a two-, three-team race the last several years.
At the top of that list has been Sequoia and
Woodside, which have both battled down the
stretch several years in a row. San Mateo jumped
up and took the championship last season, but look
for it to be a two-team race between rivals
Woodside and Sequoia.
Woodside, especially, has looked good in the
preseason, running out to an 8-1 record and

Danielle Giuliacci, who handled the bulk of
the pitching duties for Carlmont last season,
is one of three sophomores who will see time
in the circle this season.
There was no Earthquake more impressive
than Victor Bernardez, San Jose centerback. He
established his presence on that backline early in
the game and played some mean, clutch defense
for the Quakes.
I think Victors presence and calming inu-
ence on the team, its what we needed, Yallop
said.
It will be interesting to see who Yallop pairs
with Bernardez in the heart of the defense
expected starter Jason Hernandez did not play
last week and when healthy, Ike Opara (who was
recently named to the United States U-23 train-
ing camp team) has shown tremendous upside.
Justin Morrow got the start against New
England.
Houston counters with one of the most solid
defensive backlines in the league Corey
Ashe, Bobby Boswell, Geoff Cameron and
Andre Hainault will be a much harder defense to
crack than last weeks Revolution. Hainault
scored the winning goal in the 92nd minute of
Houstons game against Chivas.
The Dynamo and San Jose have a built-in
rivalry. When the Earthquakes franchise left
MLS back in 2005, they departed to Houston,
where they proceeded to win a pair of MLS
Cups.
The Earthquakes own an even 4-4-1 all-time
record against the Dynamo, including 3-1-1 at
home.
Saturdays matchup will be the lone meeting
between the two teams this season. Kickoff is
scheduled for 2 p.m.

Whether San Francisco executives and
coaches feel the same way, they werent saying.
But they also have shown interest in the man
who led Indianapolis to a Super Bowl victory in
2007. A person familiar with the situation said
that Manning worked out for 49ers coach Jim
Harbaugh on Tuesday night at Duke. ESPN
rst reported on the session.
Blue Devils coach David Cutcliffe was
Mannings offensive coordinator at the
University of Tennessee and the two remain
friends.
As it became clear the 49ers were in the race,
Miami and Arizona dropped out.
Another person conrmed to the AP that
Manning phoned the Miami Dolphins on
Thursday to advise them hell sign elsewhere.
The team has now turned its attention to free
agent quarterback Matt Flynn.
The people who spoke to the AP did so on
condition of anonymity because Mannings
workouts have remained private and most
teams involved have refused to comment on
their free agency negotiations.
The Cardinals decided to pay quarterback
Kevin Kolb the $7 million roster bonus he was
due on Saturday, ending their pursuit of
Manning. Arizona hosted Manning for about 6
1/2 hours at the teams facility on Sunday, but
the teams chances faded as the week pro-
gressed.
Acquiring Peyton Manning is no longer an
option for us, coach Ken Whisenhunt said.
After he missed the entire 2011 season,
Mannings uncertain health led the Colts to
balk at the $28 million roster bonus they would
have owed their 35-year-old leader on March 8.
So they released him, ending his long and
incredibly successful run with Indy.
Now the question is which club will land a
quarterback who could make a team an instant
Super Bowl contender.
Will it be San Francisco, which seemed to be
out of the picture?
The 49ers had been working to re-sign quar-
terback Alex Smith, the No. 1 overall draft pick
in 2005 who made a comeback last year under
rst-year coach and former NFL QB Harbaugh.
Smith has acknowledged he was happy with
the three-year offer. Both he and Manning are
represented by Tom Condon and CAA Sports.
Alex is trying to gure out what he wants to
do, 49ers CEO Jed York said earlier this week.
There have been good conversations back and
forth.
The NFC West champion 49ers on Monday
signed wide receiver Randy Moss after he spent
a year out of football, hoping he will be the
dynamic wideout and deep threat he once was.
An email to Smith, multiple phone messages
to his agency and to his father were not
returned.
The 27-year-old Smith threw for 3,150 yards
and 17 touchdowns with only ve interceptions
as San Francisco went 13-3 and made the NFC
title game last season after an eight-year play-
off drought.
Neither running back Frank Gore nor tight
end Vernon Davis had been told by the 49ers
they were pursuing Manning. Both are big fans
of Smith. Asked if Smith is still the man for San
Francisco, Gore said, I think he is.
Mannings whirlwind free agency tour of-
cially kicked off soon after he bid farewell to
the Colts in an emotional press conference.
The Broncos had the rst crack at wooing
him, rolling out the red carpet for his visit.
Team ofcials ew him in and he spent the
spent the day chatting with Elway and other
Broncos brass. He also was escorted around the
teams building by Fox and general manager
Brian Xanders as he listened to their sales pitch.
After that, Manning journeyed to nearby
Castle Rock, Colo., and spent the evening with
good friend Brandon Stokley, who played catch
with Manning the next morning and spoke
highly of his former teammate in an interview
on a local radio show.
Mannings next stop was Arizona and then,
this week, it was Tennessee.

PHOENIX Out of the race to nab Peyton
Manning, the Arizona Cardinals are moving
on with quarterback Kevin Kolb.
Kolb remained on the Arizona roster at a 4
p.m. EDT deadline Friday, ensuring him a $7
million roster bonus that the team would not
have paid if they had landed Manning.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt issued a statement
acknowledging that acquiring Peyton
Manning is no longer an option for us.
Also on Friday, the Cardinals agreed to
terms on a ve-year contract for offensive
tackle Levi Brown, who had been released by
Arizona on Tuesday in a salary cap move.
The Cardinals were an early entry in the
Manning sweepstakes. The four-time MVP,
released by the Indianapolis Colts after miss-
ing last season following a series of neck sur-
geries, had dinner at Whisenhunts house last
Saturday night, then spent nearly 6 1/2 hours
at the Cardinals facility on Sunday.
But as the week wore on, the Cardinals
hopes faded as the Tennessee Titans joined the
Denver Broncos as contenders. In what had to
be sour news for the Cardinals, NFC West
rival San Francisco became a late entry in the
Manning competition.
Whisenhunt said that pursuing Manning
was an opportunity the team had to attempt.
Obviously something very unique and
unexpected presented itself, he said. Weve
said many times: If there is an opportunity to
make our team better, we view the potential of
adding a rst-ballot Hall of Famer quarterback
as one of those.
He said the Cardinals quickly put together
an aggressive plan to go after it.

NATION/WORLD
By Robert Burns
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Afghan
President Hamid Karzai says hes at
the end of the rope, and a majori-
ty of Americans feel the same way.
Of all the past decades setbacks
in the endeavor to form a solid
alliance with Afghanistan and
defeat the Taliban, the war effort has
been driven to a new low by the
slaughter of nine Afghan children
and seven adults allegedly by a U.S.
soldier whose identity had been
kept secret until late Friday.
He is Army Staff Sgt. Robert
Bales, 38, of Lake Tapps, Wash., his
attorney conrmed.
The soldier was on his way Friday
from a U.S. military detention facil-
ity in Kuwait to the maximum secu-
rity prison in Fort Leavenworth,
Kan., though Karzai demanded
anew that he be tried under the
Afghan justice system.
Karzai also is now insisting that
U.S. forces retreat from rural areas
immediately and let Afghans take
the lead in security next year. But
the White House and the Pentagon
said Friday that nothing would col-
lapse the war plan, even after the
massacre, the inadvertent Quran
burnings by U.S. soldiers and the
deaths of seven American service-
men at the hands of their allies.
Polls have shown that up to 60
percent of Americans say its time
to end the war in Afghanistan. And
thats not lost on the administration.
The Afghan people are tired of
war, Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta, just back from Afghanistan,
acknowledged on Friday. The
American people share some of that
tiredness after 10 years of war, as
well. All of thats understandable.
But he also said he is condent
that Americans realize the U.S.
needs to nish its work of stabiliz-
ing Afghanistan to ensure that al-
Qaida cannot against use that coun-
try as a launch pad to attack the
United States. His theme
patience is likely to dominate the
discourse in Washington and in
allied capitals in the lead-up to a
NATO summit meeting in Chicago
in May.
President Barack Obama called
Karzai on Friday seeking clarica-
tion on the demand concerning U.S.
troops in rural areas, and White
House press secretary Jay Carney
said the leaders agreed to keep dis-
cussing the matter, which is at the
heart of the military strategy.
I think that the two men were
very much on the same page about
gradually handing over security
responsibility to Afghan forces,
with U.S. and other international
troops switching to a support role
throughout Afghanistan sometime
in 2013, Carney said. A nal transi-
tion to Afghan control is supposed
to happen by the end of 2014.
Another pillar of the war strategy
is creating meaningful peace talks
with the Taliban insurgents, but that,
too, suffered cracks in the aftermath
of the village massacre. The Taliban
said it was no longer talking on
terms set by the Americans.
A senior U.S. official familiar
with the discussions said American
ofcials presume that the timing of
the Taliban announcement follow-
ing Sundays killings was an
attempt to gain greater leverage.
Ofcials have long calculated that
the Taliban would not engage seri-
ously in peace talks unless it had
lost more ground militarily.
Despite calls for the Army sus-
pect to be tried in Afghanistan,
Bales was own Wednesday to a
military detention facility in
Kuwait, where that countrys of-
cials expressed unhappiness that
they were not rst consulted.
War effort hits new low
By Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT Syrian rebels ignited
a new front Friday outside the capi-
tal, Damascus, in the rst signicant
ghting there since regime forces
swept over the suburbs weeks ago.
The clashes highlight the shifting
nature of Syrias conflict, with
rebels lying in wait to rise up when
the regime turns its guns elsewhere.
The return of violence to the
Damascus suburbs raises questions
about how long troops can control
areas before they re-erupt. Though
government forces have shown they
can crushed armed fighters, the
regime has appeared unable to con-
duct major offensives in more than
one place at once. That points to the
likelihood that a conict that is now
a year old and is estimated to have
killed more than 8,000 could grind
on as it slides closer to a civil war.
Diplomatic efforts have so far
brought no result, but U.N. envoy
Kofi Annan told the Security
Council in a brieng Friday that he
was determined to continue his mis-
sion and would return to Damascus.
Talks last week between Annan and
Syrian President Bashar Assad in
Damascus saw no progress in
attempts to cobble together peace
talks between the two sides.
After the condential brieng via
videolink, Annan told reporters in
Geneva that he urged the council to
speak with one voice as we try to
resolve the crisis in Syria. Russia
and China have blocked council
action against Assads regime.
The rst objective is for all of us
to end the violence and human
rights abuses and the killings and
get unimpeded access for humani-
tarian access to the needy, and of
course the all-important issue of
political process that will lead to a
democratic Syria, Annan said.
Both Assad and much of the oppo-
sition spurned Annans appeal for
talks. Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov said Moscow and
Beijing were pressing Assad to coop-
erate and that other countries should
do the same with the opposition,
which he accused of stonewalling the
U.N. mission. Other Security
Council members also need to do
their part of the work and urge the
opposition not to provoke the exacer-
bation of tensions, he said.
Syrias Foreign Ministry said in a
letter sent to the U.N. Security
Council on Friday that Damascus
will continue its crackdown. But the
ministry also said it will cooperate
with Ko Annan, the envoy charged
with trying to help end the violence
in Syria.

U.S.: North Korea planned
rocket launch a deal-breaker
PYONGYANG, North Korea
North Korea plans to blast a satellite
into space next month to mark the
centenary of the birth of its founder,
Kim Il Sung, which the U.S. quickly
called a deal-breaker for a new
agreement where the U.S. would
exchange food aid for nuclear con-
cessions.
After Fridays surprise announce-
ment, the United States warned it
would not send food aid to North
Korea if it goes ahead with the long-
range rocket launch, and U.N.
Security Council members said it
may violate sanctions.
The North agreed to a moratorium
on long-range launches as part of the
food deal with Washington, but
argues that satellite launches are part
of a peaceful space program that is
exempt from international disarma-
ment obligations. The U.S., South
Korea and other critics say the rocket
technology overlaps with belligerent
uses and condemn the satellite pro-
gram as a disguised test of military
missiles in deance of a U.N. ban.
The launch is to take place three
years after a similar launch in April
2009 drew widespread censure.
U.S. wants Iraq to stop
arms reaching Syrian govt
WASHINGTON The Obama
administration expressed concern
Friday that Iranian planes may be fer-
rying weapons over Iraq to Syrian
President Bashar Assads regime, and
asked Baghdad to cut off its airspace
to any such ights.
State Department spokeswoman
Victoria Nuland said Iranian arms
exports are banned by a U.N.
Security Council resolution. She said
Iranian cargo ights are crossing Iraq
and that the U.S. is worried about
possible weapons shipments.
Any arms sent to the Syrian
regime at this time would obviously
be used in the brutal repression that
the regime is exacting on its own peo-
ple, Nuland told reporters. She said
the U.S. was speaking with Iraq to
ensure that it isnt aiding and abetting
a U.N. violation by helping to arm
the Syrian regime.
Washington has consistently criti-
cized Iran for supporting Assads
government during a yearlong crack-
down on protesters and armed oppo-
nents.

A desire to
take action?
By Chloee Weiner
I
t happened on a Monday
night. I was taking a break
from homework (also known
as procrastinating relentlessly on
Facebook) and
was absent-
mindedly
browsing my
news feed when
it appeared. It
was everywhere
on statuses,
in friends pro-
le pictures and
all over wall posts. Before I knew
it, my night had been taken over by
the words Kony 2012. My rst
thoughts as to what Kony 2012
could be were embarrassingly inac-
curate. I immediately assumed that
a new presidential nominee had
joined the race in a last-minute
attempt to take advantage of the
general dissatisfaction with the cur-
rent candidates (or at least that
somebody had devised a fake cam-
paign to poke fun at the election).
But my misconceptions were soon
eradicated when I watched the half-
hour video that explained it all
or claimed to.
I spent the following 30 minutes
of my night with my eyes glued to
the screen, entranced, like many
others, rst by the story being told
and secondly by the surprisingly
high-production value of the lm. If
you havent seen the latest viral
YouTube video, it was released a
week ago by the charity organiza-
tion Invisible Children. The group
released the short lm in an attempt
to raise awareness of the Lords
Resistance Army and its leader,
Joseph Kony, who the video relays
is largely responsible for the abduc-
tion of hundreds of thousands of
Central African children into their
forces. The video, undoubtedly, was
impressive. Its use of Facebooks
new timeline and the charity
leaders innocent, young son to tell
the story werent short of marketing
genius. I was surprised with my
own gut-reaction to the lm. I, too,
felt immediately emotionally
attached. But my school has been
involved with Invisible Children for
a few years now, and so despite the
lms ability to instill a strong
desire to want to help, I was not
enticed by the action kit suggested
at the end of the video nor by ease
with which the video could be
passed along, given the negative
rumors Id heard about the organi-
zation over the past few years.
From its recent media attention,
Invisible Children has received as
much criticism as praise. Although
this is not all too uncommon for a
charity, claims that the organization
spends around 70 percent of its
money on stafng fees, video pro-
duction and other costs that do not

Grainy, bloody, montage
of a spaghetti Western
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Its a total goof, of course.
Thats obvious even before Will Ferrell, dressed in a cowboy hat
and a neckerchief sitting astride a horse in the Mexican desert,
opens his mouth and utters his rst overly enunciated Spanish
words in Casa de mi Padre. Its clear from the opening titles: a
grainy, bloody, Quentin Tarantino-style montage of melodramatic
spaghetti Western imagery, featuring Christina Aguilera belting
out the bombastic theme song.
The affection for B-movies and telenovelas is clear in this
sendup from Matt Piedmont (making his directing debut)
and writer Andrew Steele, longtime collaborators of
Ferrells from Saturday Night Live and Funny or Die.
But the premise, which would have been just ne as a
sketch, feels as if its been stretched awfully thin to ll an
entire feature.
Still, you have to give everyone involved credit for just
going for it. That starts with Ferrell himself, speaking
solid Spanish (albeit with an Americanized accent) as
Armando Alvarez, a dimwitted ranchero whose
successful businessman brother, Raul (Diego
Luna), is the star of the family as far as their
father (the late Pedro Armendariz Jr.) is con-
cerned.
Armando actually has a lot in common with
Ferrells most famous comic characters, men who are
steadfastly self-serious and unaware of their own idiocy. He
could be un hermano to Ron Burgundy or Ricky Bobby, or at least
un primo; the performance isnt too far off from Ferrells impres-
sion of former President George W. Bush, either. That he sings a
drunken campre tune with his best friends (Efren Ramirez and
Adrian Martinez) celebrating the fact that all he understands is
cows softens and sweetens him by comparison.
Everyone plays it totally straight no one questions how the
gangly Ferrell could possibly belong in this family and when
Raul brings home his stunningly beautiful ancie, Sonia (Genesis
Rodriguez), it further seals Armandos inferiority. But it turns out
Raul is a drug dealer locked in a turf war with the powerful Onza
(Lunas friend and frequent co-star Gael Garcia Bernal).
Armando must nd a way to restore the familys respectable
name, even as he nds himself falling in love with Sonia. And
Rodriguez, a former telenovela actress who also appeared this year
as a knockout jewel thief in Man on a Ledge, seems quite com-
fortable with this kind of over-the-top material.
Intentional continuity errors, missing frames and cheap produc-
tion values abound. Far more effort went into making Casa de mi

GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS AT
ACTORS THEATRE OF SAN FRANCIS-
CO. Even if you never were sold a house that
was too big for your budget or never got talked
into an adjustable rate mortgage, you might be
inclined to check for your wallet as David
Mamets Glengarry Glen Ross brings you in
close contact with a pack of rapacious real
estate salesmen who look at a customer like a
wolf looks at a lamb. Decked out in slick suits
and two-toned shoes, these predatory housing
subdivision hustlers salivate and snarl over lists
of leads, and when they land a glad hand slap on
a prospective buyers back, you can be pretty
sure they are feeling for a place to insert the
knife. An extremely strong acting ensemble
serves Mamets dark comedy well. One hour 45
minutes with one intermission. Directed by
Keith Phillips. Through March 24.
CAST:
John Krause as Shelly Levene: Frank Willey
as John Willliamson; Mark Bird as Dave Moss;
Sean Hallinan as George Aaronow; Randy Blair
as James Lingk; Christian Phillips as Richard
Roma; and Carole Robinson as Detective
Baylen.

General Admission: $38, Student and Senior:
$26. For tickets, call (415) 345-1287, email
tickets@actorstheatresf.org or visit
ticketweb.com, brownpapertickets.com or dra-

before the show at the theatre box ofce.
Reservations strongly suggested, as tickets are
subject to availability. General information at

STAGE DIRECTIONS:
Actors Theatre of San Francisco is located at
855 Bush St., San Francisco, near Union
Square, in a busy block of small hotels, restau-
rants and apartment buildings. There are numer-
ous parking lots in the area, including the
Stockton-Sutter garage three-blocks away
(enter on the Bush Street side).
OH, AND DID YOU KNOW?:
In writing Glengarry Glen Ross, about real
estate agents prepared to engage in unethical
and illegal acts to sell undesirable real estate to
unwitting prospective buyers, David Mamet
drew on his experiences in a Chicago real estate
ofce, where he worked briey in the late
1960s. Mamet dedicated the play to fellow
playwright Harold Pinter.
AN ASIDE:
Artistic Director Christian Phillips said, The
play is full of profanity and vulgarity and pres-
ents a hard world with truly brutal behaviors.
And it is considered a masterwork because
within this brutal world the situations are uni-
versally engaging, the almost too easily identi-
ed with characters are brilliantly developed
and there is a perverse humor throughout the
play. Our production has focused on capturing
the humor in David Mamets magnicent dia-
logue and, most importantly, on the irtation
with redemption that provides the emotional
whallop for the plays ending.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Again, Robert Kelley, founder and artistic
director of TheatreWorks, brings us another
socially conscious play that addresses the
interests of the broad diversity of population
that is the Bay Area.
First thing, about Carly Mensch, the author
of the comedy Now Circa Then relative-
ly new to the theater, she is proving herself a
rst-rate playwright. She brings her characters
to life so vividly, one feels one is watching
real life in real time. Perhaps, it is in the
German origin of her name, human being,
that she is gifted with an insight about the
characters she creates.
What I particularly appreciate is her dia-
logue. Not only unaffected but in the scenes of
the current era, when she peppers in some
dirty words, they are not for shock value but
are no more than one hears daily in our mod-
ern middle-class conversations.
This West Coast premiere is blessed with
two super actors: Kimiye Corwin is Margie,
an escapee to New York City from a limited
life in a small town in Michigan and desperate
for any job. Matt R. Harrington is Gideon,
whose mother has been a famed historian,
who has become a fanatical history buff who
treasures participating in historical recre-
ations, including working as a re-enactor at a
New York City tenement museum.
When the inexperienced Margie lands the
job, she is daily in close work with Gideon, as
the two are recreating, in one of the museums
tenement sets, a Jewish family of immigrants
from Europe who arrived in New York City
from East Prussia in 1890. So, the play oper-
ates at two levels, the recreated years of the
immigrants Julian and Josephine Glockner
and the romance that develops as the two play
out those roles at the museum.
At its roots, this is a play about how con-
stant and similar human relationships and
responsibilities are in even over a century. The
key lines of the play are voiced by Gideon:
Its about two people. About how they go
through life together. About how they gure
out how to be decent to each other even as
times get rough. How, maybe, they lose their
way sometimes but, ultimately, enrich each
others lives. And then, how all of that some-
how ts into the larger history of a place
called The Lower East Side (of New York
City) circa 1890.
As Margie, Kimiye Corwin is the scene-
stealer as she bounces from mood to mood,
sexy affection to cold rejection of poor
Gideon who has fallen madly in love with her.
She is, obviously, shying away from commit-
ment to Gideon and trying to escape her fam-
ily in Michigan where her folks expected her
to end up pretty much like Josephine, the
woman she plays at the museum: a domestic
slave with ve kids and no prospects. At one
point she almost demolishes the set in frustra-
tion.
Gideon, on the other hand, rooted in the
past, is more restrained and has the funniest,
mostly sarcastic lines. Has to be seen is the
scene in which he is giving Margie acting les-
sons.
Much of the success of this production is in
the authentic moveable period sets of the inte-
rior of the museum by Andrew Boyce and the
costuming by Jill Bowers.
For those whose ancestors immigrated dur-
ing that time period, this is a learning experi-
ence about the debt they owe to those who
risked all for a better life in America.
For those who just want to experience well-
written comedy and great performances, this
is the show for you.

Find a quiet beach
getaway in Mexico
By Kim Curtis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MAJAHUAL, Mexico My criteria for a
vacation were simple: Warm weather.
Postcard beaches. Clear, sunny skies. Long,
languid days to immerse myself in beach
books. A price that wouldnt break the bank.
And most of all, solitude.
So when I arrived in Majahual, on the
Caribbean coast of Mexico, I was taken aback
no, horried by the throngs of tourists,
beach massage tables, souvenir hawkers, and
drunken 20-somethings dancing shirtless in
the streets.
Fortunately, the bed-and-breakfast I had
reserved for the week was a half-hour drive
from the center of town, and it turned out to be
a vacation paradise where the only noise was
from the waves crashing on the beach.
I had chosen the Costa Maya area, near the
border of Belize, after considering Thailand,
Honduras and a few other tropical spots. The
Costa Maya town of Majahual is about six
hours south of the Riviera Maya, the popular
tourist region that stretches from Cancun to
the Mayan ruins at Tulum. Id been to Mexico
City and a few colonial towns in central
Mexico in the past, but I was a little wary of
planning a Mexican beach getaway, with
images of drunken spring breakers and nonde-
script all-inclusive resorts springing to mind.
But despite the busy scene I encountered
when I arrived in Costa Maya which I later
learned changes depending on what cruise
ships are docking Majahual turned out to
be exactly what I wanted, solitude included.
Id gotten my sightseeing out of the way en
route to Majahual. Id own into Cancun, then
quickly left behind the colossal resorts by tak-
ing a bus about 80 miles south to Tulum for a
three-day visit to see Mayan ruins and spend a
little time at Tulums South Beach, where I
rented a simple and reasonably priced cabana
at the Shambala Petit Hotel. Restaurants, bars,
bicycle rentals and yoga classes were all with-
in a few minutes walk of my cabana. It was
nothing fancy ceiling fans, shared bath-
room and shower but I loved the pristine
beachfront location and relaxed vibe. Its easy
to nd similar accommodations nearby.
Early one morning, I traveled to Coba, an
ancient Mayan city about 27 miles northwest
of Tulum, with a private driver arranged
through my hotel.

directly benet its cause have been vali-
dated. Similarly, the quality of the
information presented in the video in
regards to the LRAs location and activ-
ity, as well as the Ugandan govern-
ments own involvement in the atroci-
ties, has already been attacked by politi-
cians and philanthropists alike. I really
cant pretend to be an expert on the
cause or the organization, but I have
seen how its message and call for
action has effected the people around
me and quite honestly, its been
astounding.
Even with the recent Arab Spring and
other examples of social medias ability
to mobilize the worlds youth, to me,
the idea of modern-day unity toward a
cause seemed distant, or even a trend of
the past. But Facebook statuses like,
Finally something to care about that
followed the spread of the video made
it clear that American youth (or at least
the ones from this area who contribute
to my Facebook news feed) are also
craving something over which to be
passionate. However, with this desire to
take action has also come the trend of
hollow, almost meaningless action.
Regardless of whether or not Invisible
Childrens methods are sound, they are
drawing attention to a worthy cause
(especially the importance to rebuild
areas of Central Africa that have been
destroyed by the atrocities over the
years). However, the hollow response I
mentioned results from the tendency of
many peoples response to be all talk
and no action. Invisible Children has
exploited the youths addiction to social
media and it is only my hope that they
use this potential in the effective way
possible. Spreading a message is one
thing, but instilling a long-term passion
for a cause is another. Perhaps if
Invisible Children can attract motivated
youth rather than those momentarily
enraptured by their cause, they will
receive more credit for their newfound
following.

Padre look like crap than making it,
you know, legitimately good. Thats the
source of steady humor but never out-
right hilarity, and it all might have
seemed far more novel if directors like
Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez hadnt
already staked out this territory. An
example of outright weirdness
which Casa de mi Padre could have
used more of is the stream-of-con-
sciousness fever dream Armando expe-
riences after an encounter with a mysti-
cal snow leopard in the desert, an ani-
matronic cat that gives him advice cre-
ated by Jim Hensons Creature Shop.
When its obvious that Armando and
Sonia arent really riding their horses,
for example, but rather are sitting in
front of a chintzy background, its good
for a chuckle. During one of many
zooms in this 70s-style production,
you can see the camera crew in the
reflection of a characters sunglasses.
Again, cute, but not much more. But
maybe its better if youve had a couple
margaritas with friends beforehand.
Casa de mi Padre, a Pantelion
Films and Lionsgate release, is rated R
for bloody violence, language, and
some sexual content and drug use. In
Spanish with English subtitles.
Running time: 84 minutes. Two stars

CITY
Jeff, Who Lives at Home Mark Duplass has said that he
and his brother, Jay, look to the veteran Belgian lmmaking
brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne for artistic inspiration,
with their naturalistic, documentary-style approach to telling fea-
ture stories. Thats evident once again in this sweet, slight tale
told with simple intimacy and a deadpan tone to its absurd humor.
Not much happens over a meandering day in suburban Baton
Rouge, La., but it all builds to a climax that makes the journey
worthwhile. Jason Segel plays the titular character, a 30-year-old
slacker who still lives in the basement of his childhood home.
Inspired by the M. Night Shyamalan movie Signs, he believes
there are no coincidences, that everything happens for a reason if
youre willing to open your mind and pay attention to the daily
details that can determine your fate. And so a simple errand for
his widowed, enabling mother (Susan Sarandon in a lovely,
understated performance) turns into a weird and winding adven-
ture involving pickup basketball, amateur sleuthing and an elu-
sive man named Kevin. The Duplasses create the sensation that
were just following along wherever Jeff takes us, without judg-
ment. Ed Helms and Judy Greer co-star. R for language includ-
ing sexual references and some drug use. 82 minutes. Three stars
out of four.
***
21 Jump Street The TV show that made Johnny Depp a
star is little more than a jumping-off point for this rowdy, raunchy
big-screen update that aims for laughs over action and delivers
them intermittently. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are surpris-
ingly amusing together as newbie cops sent undercover as high
school kids to root out a drug ring. Directors Phil Lord and
Christopher Miller take everything the car chases, the
shootouts, the teen kegger, the goofy idiocy of the characters to
the extreme. Some of the absurd violence is funny, some is point-
lessly mean and nasty enough to jar viewers out of the action now
and then. Hill and Tatums odd-couple act is the best thing about
the movie, both playing the straight man yet managing to make
their partnership much funnier than the hit-and-miss jokes and
action really are. 109 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

to review the facts, not the spin, and send a
message to Sacramento to halt this ill-con-
ceived, costly and unnecessary project,
Harkey wrote in a statement Thursday.
On Tuesday, Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-
San Mateo, held a press conference in San
Mateo to urge the California High-Speed Rail
Authority to fund construction of the two
bookends of the system in San Francisco and
Los Angeles while starting construction on
the project in the Central Valley concurrently.
To fund electrication of Caltrain, the rail
authority would need to pledge about $750
million that would have to be matched by
local sales tax revenue.
Hill said previously that Harkeys legisla-
tion was unnecessary since economic condi-
tions could improve that would make the
project easier to fund in the coming years.
The Legislature can decide on its own
whether to vote for or against Gov. Jerry
Browns proposal to issue $2.6 billion in state
bonds later this year to get the project under
way in the Central Valley, Hill said.
State voters approved the project by passing
Proposition 1A in 2008, which commits about
$9.5 billion in bond proceeds to build a high-
speed rail system from San Francisco to Los
Angeles.
Already, the cities of Rancho Santa
Margarita, Mission Viejo, San Juan
Capistrano, Orange and Orange, Kings and
Shasta counties have voted to support the bill.
AB 1455 will also be appearing on several
more county and city council agendas over
the next few weeks, according to Harkeys
ofce.
Harkey has been most critical of the esca-
lating price tag for the project that is now esti-
mated to cost more than $100 billion. When
voters passed Proposition 1A, the estimated
price tag was about $36 billion.
The state is already in debt, Harkey said,
and cannot afford to fund the project. She also
said voters were deceived by the ballot lan-
guage in Proposition 1A that included ques-
tionable ridership and cost projections.

place to celebrate.
If youre a Jameson fan consider heading
to Molloys Tavern, 1655 Mission Road in
South San Francisco. Fun fact, Molloys is
one of the top sellers of Jameson an Irish
whiskey worthy of this pub inspired by its
homeland in Northern California. As
someone posted on the bars Facebook page,
Everyone is Irish on their Uncle Jamesons
side. The bar is cash only. But dont worry,
there is an ATM on site.
Irish-owned-and-operated Fiddlers Green
333 El Camino Real in Millbrae cele-
brates the motherland year round. On St.
Patricks Day, try house specialties like Irish
lamb stew, shepherds pie, beer-battered fish
and chips and of course, corned beef and cab-
bage. There will also be bagpipers through-
out the day playing traditional Irish music.
Down the road in Burlingame, Behans
Irish Bar 327 Broadway is putting up
a tent for the first time ever. Rain wont keep
people from showing up, but those running
the bar are worried about fitting a St.
Patricks Day crowd inside. The tent goes up
at 8 a.m. Saturday morning. Corned beef and
cabbage will start to be served at 5 p.m.
Corned beef and cabbage is definitely a
theme throughout the Peninsula. Its being
offered at Original Nicks Pizzeria and Pub,
1214 S. El Camino Real in San Mateo,
Clooneys Pub, 1189 Laurel St. in San
Carlos, and also Paddy Flynns, 246 Lorton
Ave. in Burlingame.
Continuing to travel south, ONeills in
San Mateo, 34 S. B St., opens at 6 a.m.
Saturday with Irish coffee stands set up. The
afternoon is when the beer starts flowing, a
food truck will be on hand and bagpipers
will provide background music.
Before heading out, plan for a designated
driver or have a cab companys number on
hand. Alternatively, call AAA Northern
California which is offering free tows from 6
p.m. Saturday to 6 a.m. Sunday through its
Tipsy Tow program.
Many people enjoy getting in the spirit of
St. Patricks Day, which tends to involve
plenty of celebrating, AAA Northern
California spokeswoman Cynthia Harris said
in a press release. If youve been drinking
alcohol, dont get behind the wheel.
Drivers, potential passengers, party hosts,
bartenders and restaurant managers can call
(800) 222-4357 for a free tow home of up to
10 miles by saying I need a Tipsy Tow.
The service is a one-way ride for the driver
and vehicle home. Additional passengers
will be transported only if there is room in
the tow truck cab.
How traditional an experience is desired is
up to each individual but take a minute to
realize the celebration didnt begin as a beer-
drinking, people-pinching day.
The day was intended to be a religious cel-
ebration for St. Patrick, the patron saint of
Ireland. For thousands of years, the Irish
have observed this day as a religious holiday,
going to church in the morning then cele-
brating in the evening. Although the celebra-
tion falls during Lent, the rules against meat
were lifted and people would dance, drink
and eat.
Until the 1970s, Irish law mandated pubs
be closed on the holiday. In 1995, however,
the government decided to capitalize on the
widely popular holiday by opening pubs and
inviting tourists to celebrate St. Patricks
Day in Ireland.

CELEBRATE
Under the new rules, all leaf blowers can be no
louder than 65 decibels and to have them cer-
tied by the city.
During a period of emergency, the city man-
ager can temporarily suspend enforcement of
the rules. Violators face a ne of $50.
Looking at leaf blower restrictions came
about last year when the Burlingame Citizens
Environmental Council recommended the ban
to maintain clean air and water while cutting
down on air and noise pollution. Since then, a
community poll showed residents were split
over a complete ban but showed stronger sup-
port for a ban on gas-powered leaf blowers.
Current law limits how loud a leaf blower
can be and the hours of operation to 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to
4 p.m. on Sundays and holidays.
At the same meeting, the council will hear
results of a six-month trial expanding the off-
leash hours for dogs in Washington Park to
include 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The council
approved the extension in August on a 3-2
vote with Vice Mayor Anne Keighran and
Councilwoman Cathy Baylock dissenting.
In 2008, the council voted to allowed off-
leash dogs on the upper eld of Cuernavaca
Park and the eastern most lawn in Washington
Park before 7:45 a.m.
In September 2010, the council discussed
extending the hours to include after 6 p.m. but
asked the Parks and Recreation Commission
to gather more public opinion. A survey from
last year showed a positive response for the
additional hours. The commission again rec-
ommended the expansion for a trial period,
which was granted.
The trial period ended Feb. 15 with no
reports of issues or complains, according to a
report from the Parks and Recreation
Commission. The police department issued
one citation, one leash law warning and took
two calls about dogs in the park during the
trial but all calls were outside of the designat-
ed hours. As a result, the commission is rec-
ommending to permanently allow the extend-
ed hours.
The council meets 7 p.m. Monday, March 19
at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road.

BLOWERS
SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 2012
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)One of your very best
assets is the ability to see value in things that others
totally overlook. Keep an eye peeled for these kinds
of opportunities.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)Get your duties out of
the way as early as possible, because you are going
to want some time to have a little fun with your
friends as well. You deserve it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)The trends and tides of
time will start shifting in a favorable direction, mak-
ing it possible for you to achieve a huge objective
that you never thought would be possible.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)If possible, avoid
involvements with friends who are too deeply im-
mersed in tradition. Theres nothing wrong with it,
but your benefts will come through more progressive
interests.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)Dont discount a unique
idea that dominates your thinking just because it
happens to be a departure from your usual concep-
tions. Being different can be good at times.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Listen attentively when
others speak, whether or not you consider the orator

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Dont be hesitant to
experiment with a new procedure or technique
involving your work or an independent project.
What you develop might be a time-saver and could

schedule as fexible as possible, because there is
a strong possibility that an enticing situation will
manifest itself. Find time for fun as well.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)When it comes to
anything fnancial, both chance and circumstances
are likely to favor you. Something opportune is in the
making, and you should be a part of it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)Because associates
have considerable respect for your judgment, they
are likely to support an endeavor that youre develop-
ing. Take help where you fnd it.

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.
