ASSEMBLY BILL WOULD PUNISH THOSE WHO BULLY ONLINE
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Now what?
Less than a week after an Assembly com-
mittee convened to discuss the role of health
care districts in public health, San Mateo
County Assemblyman Rich Gordon and
Health System Chief Jean Fraser are both
optimistic the hearing was more than lip serv-
ice.
Three districts, includ-
ing one in San Mateo
County, were represented
at the hearing along with
officials who said they
should do more.
Legislators heard dis-
parate opinions about
health care districts that
no longer operate hospi-
tals but maintain taxing
authority. But, with the testimony over and the
participants all back to their daily routines,
now what?
Gordon, D-Menlo Park, hopes information
shared will lend weight to a transparency bill
he introduced earlier this year. Fraser hopes
the Peninsula Health Care District might have
a new commitment to helping with the coun-
tys indigent.
I was surprised and pleased to hear
Peninsula testify theyre open to supporting
care for uninsured adults in their community,
Fraser said.
Although the county has been denied a $2
million grant request before, Fraser said it
will try again based on the testimony given by
Dr. Lawrence Cappel, district boardmember
and treasurer.
Cappel could not be reached for comment
but, in his testimony, he cited the districts

interview
intruder
Man was shot three times
for entering wrong home
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Police have nally interviewed the 24-year-old San Mateo
man who was shot three times in a Foster City home last
month, bringing an end to an investigation that should be for-
warded to county prosecutors by weeks end.
The shooting victim, who spent a night drinking with friends
March 24, allegedly entered the wrong residence on the 600
block of Crane Avenue just after 4 a.m. March 25, according to
police.
A houseguest called 911 and, when police arrived to the
address, shots rang out shortly after.
The victim was found with multiple gun shot wounds and

After 18 months of negotiating the
terms of a disputed lease with Foster
City, the North Peninsula Jewish
Campus has agreed to buy the land it sits
on from the city for $20 million.
The City Council approved a set of
business terms for the sale of the land
last night on a 4-1 vote.
While most of the council praised the
deal, Mayor Art Kiesel had major con-
cerns with some of the details of it.
The two sides landed in mediation last
year after the city sought damages from
the NPJC for being in default of its long-
term 55-year lease.
Under the terms of the lease, the NPJC
was to build a cultural arts center on the
property but it never took out the permits
to build the center by an established
deadline.
The potential loss of the cultural arts
center in the sale of the property was
cause for Kiesel to vote against the deal.
The NPJC is home to the Peninsula
Jewish Community Center and the
Wornick Jewish Day School and sits on
11 acres adjacent to City Hall.
The NPJC may one day build a cultur-
al arts center on the property, said PJCC
Executive Director Deborah Pinsky.
This allows us to do it in our own
time, Pinsky said about buying the land.
This gives us a chance to control our
own destiny, Pinsky said. It gives us a
lot more stability. We are very excited.
The NPJC currently leases the proper-
ty from the city for $13,815 a month,
according to the assistant city managers
ofce. The lease was initially signed
with Foster City in 1998.
Councilmen Charlie Bronitsky and
Herb Perez praised the deal.
This is a great deal for the city,
Bronitsky wrote the Daily Journal in an
email before last nights meeting. The
current lease is unfavorable and would

Mans lawsuit says
circumcision robbed him
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. A South
Dakota prison inmate is suing the hospi-
tal where he was circumcised as a new-
born, saying he only recently became
aware that hed undergone the procedure
and that it robbed him of his sexual
prowess.
Dean Cochrun, 28, is asking for
$1,000 in compensatory and punitive
damages. He also asks in the lawsuit that
his foreskin be restored in the hopes I
could feel whole again, though he
acknowledged that he didnt expect such
a restoration to be anything more than
aesthetic.
Cochrun, who is imprisoned in Sioux
Falls on a kidnapping conviction, led
the federal lawsuit Friday against
Sanford Hospital. Cochrun claims that
an unknown doctor at the then-named
Sioux Valley Hospital misled his mother
to believe that the procedure was med-
ically necessary. Cochrun argues that the
procedure was unnecessary, unethical
and without medical benet.
I was recently made aware of the
fact that I had been (circumcised) and
that ... I was robbed of sensitivity dur-
ing sexual intercourse as well as the
sense of security and well-being I am
entitled to in my person, he argued in
the lawsuit, adding that neither he nor
his partners would have that sensi-
tivity during sexual intercourse and
have a normal sex life.
Cochrun isnt represented by a lawyer
in the lawsuit, which includes a letter
from Sanford ofcials responding to a
letter requesting that his foreskin be
replaced. Patient relations representative
DyAnn Smith replied that Sanford
would not pay for the procedure.
There will be no further correspon-
dence about this matter, she wrote.
Cardboard cathedral
planned in New Zealand
WELLINGTON, New Zealand A
cathedral made from cardboard.
The idea may sound imsy, particular-
ly given that cathedrals tend to be known
for their solid presence: the ying but-
tresses, the soaring domes, the Gothic
grandeur. But in the earthquake-devas-
tated city of Christchurch, Anglican
leaders believe it will deliver both a tem-
porary solution and a statement about
the citys recovery.
On Monday, they announced plans to
build a 25-meter (82-foot) high cathe-
dral constructed with 104 tubes of card-
board. The structure will be a temporary
replacement for the iconic stone
ChristChurch Cathedral, which was
ruined last year in an earthquake that
killed 185 people and destroyed much of
the downtown.
The Rev. Craig Dixon, a church
spokesman, said the temporary cathedral
would seat 700 people, cost up to 5 mil-
lion New Zealand dollars ($4.1 million),
and would be used for 10 years while a
permanent replacement is designed and
built.
The Japanese architect, Shigeru Ban,
has used cardboard as a material for
other temporary buildings, including a
paper church which used as a commu-
nity center after the 1995 Kobe earth-
quake in Japan.
Dixon said he hopes construction can
begin within about six weeks and be
completed by the end of the year.
I think this building has the potential
to become an icon in its own right, he
said. I think it will be greatly loved for
a long time.
Dixon said the structure would be
weatherproof and re-resistant. He said
the plan is to use traditional materials
like concrete, steel and wood to provide
structural support to the A-frame-style
cathedral and an attached annex. Up to
two dozen shipping containers inside
would provide space for offices, a
kitchen and storage, he added, while the
roof would be made of an opaque poly-
carbonate material.
Richard Gray, the chairman of a
church group that has been driving the
project, said the cathedral will make a
statement that Christchurch is moving
forward, and that people are nding
solutions that are not only innovative but
also environmentally friendly after
all, he points out, the cathedral would be
recyclable.

A man accused of stabbing his girlfriends
ex-boyfriend in the head with an ice pick
began trial yesterday while authorities
arrested him on new charges stemming from
an unrelated high-speed police chase in
March during which he reportedly fired a
gun.
The defense for Arthur John Armstrong,
37, objected to delaying his attempted mur-
der trial and he will be arraigned this after-
noon on the new charges.
Armstrong was free from custody on
$100,000 bail awaiting trial at the time of
the Pacifica chase for which he was arrested
yesterday on a $110,000 warrant.
At roughly 3:32 a.m. March 23, a Pacifica
police officer gave chase to a gray Ford
Mustang speeding eastbound on Linda Mar
Boulevard at approximately 80 mph. The car
sped up further on Alicante Drive and col-
lided with a parked car
on Capistrano Drive. The
driver fled on food into a
backyard on the street
and the officer later
reported hearing two
gunshots as he
approached. Units were
called from several other
departments but an
extensive search was
fruitless.
The car was found to be an unreported
stolen vehicle.
In his earlier case, Armstrong is charged
with attempted murder, assault and the spe-
cial allegations of using a knife and causing
great bodily injury in the Nov. 15 attack of a
39-year-old man.
Armstrong and the victim met up after
they separately headed to the same beach
area near the pier to drink with their respec-
tive girlfriends. Armstrongs ex-girlfriend is
now dating the victim.
The victim told police the couples
exchanged insults before Armstrong threw a
lit firecracker in their direction. When the
victim asked what he was doing, he said
Armstrong approached and began punching
him while the ex-girlfriend assaulted the
current girlfriend.
After Armstrong and his girlfriend left, the
victim realized he was bleeding and called
for help just before 10 p.m. He gave a state-
ment to police before passing out and
medics discovered he had a slash to his knee
and blood from his ear. An ice pick was dis-
covered in nearby bushes.
The victim was placed in a drug-induced
coma. The ice pick went through his ear
canal and touched his brain which caused
severe swelling.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A San Mateo woman who spotted a man
robbing a pedestrian at knifepoint on the
Monte Diablo Avenue overcrossing in San
Mateo Thursday sent her two sons to confront
the man, according to prosecutors.
The woman spotted the robber, later identi-
ed as Hector Mora, 29, confront a 55-year-
old Spanish-speaking man with the weapon
and ask what he had in his bag, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
The woman yelled to her sons, 17 and 20
and just home from church, and they ran from
their apartment to the bridge. Mora allegedly
raised the knife to the 17-year-old, stabbing
him in the hand and forearm, before running
away. The teen required eight stitches.
Police arrested Mora nearby and the victim
and sons identied him.
On Monday, Mora was arraigned on
charges of attempted robbery and assault with
a deadly weapon. He pleaded not guilty and
asked for a court-appointed attorney. He
returns to court April 27 for a preliminary
hearing and remains in custody in lieu of
$50,000 bail.

Burlingame residents would like to be able
to walk to a relocated main post ofce but ide-
ally want it to remain in its current location.
The sale of the Burlingame Main Post
Office, located at 220 Park Road, was
approved by postal ofcials in February. On
Monday, a public meeting was held to gather
public input as one of the rst steps in the
process. U.S. Postal Service ofcials assured
those in attendance the services offered would
not change, however, it may be in a new loca-
tion. Residents were most supportive of possi-
bilities to keep the post ofce in its current
location either by not selling the property
or by leasing space from a future property
owner. If that isnt an option, a number of cit-
izens requested it be close to the current loca-
tion to allow those who walk to the post ofce
to continue to do so.
Nothing is being taken away. Were simply
looking at relocating retail services, said
U.S. Postal Service spokesman James Wigdel
to a crowd of about 40.
The Burlingame Post Ofce is about 13,400
square feet but only about 4,100 square feet is
needed.
The facility is three times the space we
need. Its literally a waste of space, said Jeff
Suess, real estate specialist in the Pacic
Facilities Service Ofce for the U.S. Postal
Service.
Being in a more appropriate space would
save the U.S. Postal Service about $70,000
annually, he said.
A sale will not be nalized unless a suitable
relocation option is available. That option
could include leasing space for the post ofce
from the new owners, but it wont be a man-
date of those who bid on the property. The
U.S. Postal Service is in the middle of a 90-
day period that includes getting an appraisal,
surveying the property, doing an environmen-
tal review, moving internal documents and
working with a historical consultant to evalu-
ate the property, said Suess. The property will
then be put on the market and advertised for
sale.
Suess showed photos of other post ofces
that were sold around the country. Some were
turned into ofce space with cafes, a museum
or, Suess favorite, a bed and breakfast.
Any possible recommendation is forwarded
to U.S. Postal Service representatives in
Washington, D.C. along with nancial docu-
ments and community input. Ultimately, the
decision to sell will be made by those in
Washington, D.C. Should a sale be approved,
the community could appeal, said Wigdel.
Burlingame ofcials have long watched the
property as a possible asset for downtown
redevelopment. The City Council previously
stated it did not have the income to purchase
such a site, however it solicited development
ideas for developing city-owned parking lots
last year.
Among the top two ideas, on which the city
just started negotiations, one required use of
the post ofce.
Grosvenor, an international property devel-
opment, investment and fund management
group, put forward a mixed-use project using
lot E located between Lorton Avenue, Park
Road, Burlingame Avenue and Howard
Avenue and the adjacent post ofce. The
concept encompasses both properties and
includes an urban village of residential and
research space.
The U.S. Postal Service faces a $9 billion
decit. Last year, the independent government
agency announced plans to close up to 3,700
post ofces and 250 mail processing centers
across the country. The U.S. Postal Service
had planned to shutter those facilities in
December but has since pushed that decision
back to May. Postal Service representatives
previously said facilities in Half Moon Bay,
Menlo Park and Palo Alto are also being con-
sidered for sale.
Members of the public may submit com-
ments for 15 days following the public meet-
ing. Comments should be postmarked by May
1, 2012 and sent to Diana Alvarado, Facilities
Planning and Real Estate, 1300 Evans St.,
San Francisco, CA 94188-8200.

Local brief
The site for a new medical campus in San
Carlos is ready for groundbreaking and con-
struction after the state water board found the
environmental remediation requirements met.
The April 12 decision that no further action
is necessary by the California State Water
Quality Control Board clears the way for the
Palo Alto Medical Foundation to take the land
title and begin work on the PAMF San Carlos
Center at 301 Industrial Way.
PAMF is currently establishing ground-
breaking and construction timelines.
Construction will happen in two phases,
with the rst outpatient medical clinic and
parking structure anticipated to take approxi-
mately two years to complete.
The plan for a new medical center began
more than a decade ago and the city approved
the project in 2007 with hopes of completion
in 2012. In March 2009, however, Sutter
Health put several capital projects include the
San Carlos Center on hold because of the
economy. In November 2010, the Sutter
Health Board of Directors gave the green light
to start again. Some cleanup efforts of the site
home of a former microwave tube manu-
facturer were done even as the project was
paused but more work began last January on
the 18.1-acre parcel.
When nished, the 192,260-square-foot San
Carlos Center will include an urgent-care cen-
ter, 75 primary physicians and specialists with
the capacity to increase to 120, an on-site lab-
oratory and pharmacy, space for outpatient
surgery and a cafe.
Hospital ofcials have estimated the rst
phase will cost approximately $210 million.
In contrast, the original plan by PAMF for
San Carlos was a $550 million complex
involving a 110-bed hospital, outpatient clinic
and medical ofces and 1,000-space parking
garage. In 2007, the blueprint dropped to a 91-
bed hospital with 120 on-site doctors and 826
other staffers instead of 1,137.

The Daly City woman who poured boiling
water over her sleeping ex-husband because
she allegedly thought he was unfaithful will
learn this summer if shell stand trial on
murder and torture charges stemming from
the mans death two weeks later.
Jesusa Ursonal Tatad, 39, is also charged
with assault with a deadly weapon, aggravat-
ed mayhem and domestic violence. She has
pleaded not guilty and yesterday was given a
June 21 preliminary hearing date.
Tatad and her husband Ronie, 36, were
divorced but living together. Authorities
have not said definitively whether they
maintained a romantic relationship or if it
was a living arrangement out of conven-
ience. Either way, prosecutors say Jesusa
Tatad thought he was unfaithful and, at
approximately 10:50 a.m. Nov. 26, boiled a
pot of water which she poured on his face
and upper body. The sleeping man reported-
ly awoke in intense pain and tried running to
the bathroom for safety.
Jesusa Tatad, who prose-
cutors say was waiting
for him, reportedly struck
him in the head with a
baseball bat. The man
managed to flee the sec-
ond-story apartment on
Coronado Avenue and
found a security guard
who called police.
Police arrested Jesusa Tatad at the home
while the man was taken to San Francisco
General Hospital with second- and third-
degree burns on more than 60 percent of his
face and upper body. He initially told the
guard and police Jesusa Tatad attacked him
with the water and bat but was sedated by
physicians due to the pain and gave no fur-
ther statements before he died Dec. 9.
Jesusa Tatad has reportedly denied hitting
him with the bat.
She is in custody without bail.

SACRAMENTO State lawmakers
trying to keep up with evolving trends in
online bullying passed a bill Monday
that would give schools broader authori-
ty to punish students who harass their
classmates on social networking sites.
AB1732 would allow schools to sus-
pend or expel students who create online
proles impersonating classmates or set up
burn pages lled with material intended
to harm others. The bill passed the
Assembly 58-0 and moves to the Senate.
Assemblywoman Nora Campos, D-
San Jose, said Californias original
cyberbullying laws were written in 2006,
before social networking had become an
integral part of teen life. She sponsored
successful legislation last year targeting
bullying on social networking sites,
including Facebook, but the bill failed to
target forms of online bullying that have
proliferated only recently.
People today are bullying in a very
different way, Campos said in an inter-
view after the vote. I want to make sure
that there are no loopholes.
The phenomenon of burn pages is
linked to the 2004 cult film Mean
Girls, which depicts students writing
hurtful comments about their classmates
in a journal called a burn book.
Online bullying has played a role in
several widely publicized teen suicides,
prompting some to call the problem an
epidemic. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention recently added a
question about cyberbullying to its bian-
nual Youth Risk Behavior Survey.
In comments on the Assembly oor,
Assemblyman Charles Calderon, D-
Whittier, framed Internet bullying as an
issue of life or death.
Words kill, and weve seen examples
of that, he said.
The topic has gained renewed atten-
tion this year with the release of the doc-
umentary film Bully. The Motion
Picture Association of America lowered
the rating for the lm from R to PG-13
last week, following widespread concern
that the R rating would restrict kids
under age 17 from seeing the movie
without an accompanying adult.

Dempsey says military
embarrassed by Colombia scandal
WASHINGTON The top U.S. military ofcer said
Monday the nations military leadership is embarrassed by
allegations of misconduct against at least 10 U.S. military
members at a Colombia hotel on the eve of President Barack
Obamas visit over the weekend.
We let the boss down, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chair-
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Pentagon news confer-
ence. He said he regretted that the scandal, which also involved
11 Secret Service agents accused of cavorting with prostitutes
at the hotel, diverted attention from Obamas diplomacy at a
Latin America summit.
Romney taps longtime adviser to head VP search
BOSTON Mitt Romney has tapped a longtime adviser to
begin his search for a vice presidential candidate.
Romney said Monday that Beth Myers is in charge of selec-
tion and vetting and analysis.
I have selected someone who has been a counselor of mine
for a number of years, Beth Myers. She was my chief of staff
when I was governor, Romney said during an interview with
Diane Sawyer of ABC News outside Fenway Park in Boston.
Romney is moving forward as the presumptive Republican
presidential nominee after rival Rick Santorum suspended his
campaign last week.

Man killed by train near Hayward Park Station
A man who was struck and killed by a train near the Hayward
Park Caltrain station in San Mateo Monday morning appears to
have committed suicide, a transit agency spokeswoman said.
The death remains under investigation, but preliminary infor-
mation indicates that the victim had gone onto the tracks inten-
tionally when he was struck by northbound train No. 215 at about
7:30 a.m., Caltrain spokeswoman Tasha Bartholomew said
Trains were about an hour behind schedule because of the inci-
dent, Bartholomew said.
North- and southbound trains were single-tracking around the
scene until northbound tracks reopened at about 9:30 a.m.

WASHINGTON The General
Services Administration investigator who
revealed a wild agency spending spree
said Monday hes investigating possible
bribery and kickbacks, and has already
recommended criminal charges to the
Justice Department. The key gure in the
scandal invoked his right to remain silent
at the House hearing.
Inspector General Brian Miller made
clear that hes not done investigating GSA
current and former ofcials, following his
lengthy report April 2 on an October 2010
Las Vegas conference that cost taxpayers
$823,000. The region-
al executive who host-
ed the Western
Regions Conference,
Jeffrey Neely,
invoked his Fifth
Amendment rights
and his chair
remained empty the
rest of the House
Oversight and
Government Reform hearing. He could
face a criminal investigation.
We do have other ongoing investiga-
tions including all sorts of improprieties,
including bribes, possibly kickbacks but Id
have to check on precisely kickbacks,
Miller told the committee. He added later,
We have recommended criminal charges.
Toward the end of the three-and-a-half
hour hearing, GSA chief of staff Michael
Robertson said he had informed the White
House of the inspector generals prelimi-
nary ndings last year. Robertson testied
that he told a White House lawyer, Kim
Harris, about the report shortly after May
2011 when I became aware that the IG had
briefed (then-GSA administrator Martha)
Johnson. After the hearing, Robertson said
in a statement, To clarify the point I made
in my testimony today, I only mentioned in
passing the existence of an IG investigation
as I bumped into a White House staffer that
I regularly worked with on GSA issues.

I regret that it does, you know,
that it does add costs that the tax-
payer has to pick up, Panetta said
during a Pentagon brieng Monday,

about the ight costs. A taxpayer
would have to pick up those costs
with any secretary of state or secre-
tary of defense. But having said
that, I am trying to look at what are

WASHINGTON Senate
Republicans derailed a Democratic
Buffett rule bill Monday forcing
the nations top earners to pay at
least 30 percent of their income in
taxes, using the day before
Americans taxes are due to defy
President Barack Obama on one of
his signature election-year issues.
By a near party-line 51-45 tally,
senators voted to keep the bill alive
but fell nine votes short of the 60
needed to continue debating the
measure. The anti-climactic out-
come was no surprise to anyone in a
vote that was designed more to win
over voters and embarrass senators
in close races than to push legisla-
tion into law.
At the White House, Obama
denounced the vote, saying
Republicans chose once again to
protect tax breaks for the wealthiest
few Americans at the expense of the
middle class. In a statement issued
after the vote, he said he would keep
pressing Congress to help the mid-
dle class.
Its just plain wrong that mil-
lions of middle-class Americans pay
a higher share of their income in
taxes than some millionaires and
billionaires, he said.
Republicans called the measure a
divisive Democratic distraction
from the nations real problems that
would not address the economys
real woes.
This legislation will do nothing
with regard to job creation, with
regard to gas prices, with regard to
economic recovery, said Sen. Jon
Kyl of Arizona, the No. 2 Senate
GOP leader.
Democrats goal, he said, was to
try to draw attention away from the
issues that the American people are
most concerned about.
Sen. Susan Collins of Maine was
the only Republican to join
Democrats in voting to keep the
measure alive, arguing that it was a
way to begin considering a badly
needed, broad revamping of the
entire tax code.
The lone defecting Democrat was
Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, who
said making the rich pay a fair share
of taxes should occur as part of an
overall tax overhaul, not as a polit-
ical ploy meant to score points.
Mondays vote was the rst time a
Buffett rule proposal has come to
a Senate vote this election year,
though Democrats have tried unsuc-
cessfully in recent months to
impose modest surcharges on the
income of the wealthy.
With presidential and congres-
sional elections approaching in
November, it was also a microcosm
of the broader battle the two parties
are waging over an economy that is
still having a tough time creating
enough new jobs. And the ght isnt
conned to the Senate oor.
On Thursday, the House plans to
vote on a plan by House Majority
Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., to pro-
vide 20 percent tax deductions to all
businesses with fewer than 500
workers a threshold that includes
99.9 percent of all U.S. companies.
Republicans say that plan would
spur job creation, while Democrats
call it a giveaway to business
because rms would not have to
hire employees to receive the reduc-
tion. That bill is expected to pass the
GOP-run House but die in the
Democratic-led Senate.

TEHRAN, Iran Iran calls it the
soft war with the West: Battles to
control, defend and monitor the
Internet and other high-level
telecommunications. The latest
move came quietly when the power-
ful Revolutionary Guard recently
launched what it claims is a hack-
proof communications network for
its high-level commanders.
Largely overshadowed by the
showdowns over Irans nuclear pro-
gram, the efforts to build a cyber-
fortress have become a priority
among leaders fearful of Internet
espionage and virus attacks from
abroad and seeking to choke off
opposition outlets at home.
The drive also highlights the
stepped up attempts by many
nations particularly across the
Middle East to lter the Web
after social networking sites played
such a crucial role in the Arab
Spring uprisings.
In a video message for Iranian
new year last month, President
Barack Obama denounced what he
called the electronic curtain that
keeps ordinary Iranians from reach-
ing out to Americans and the West.
We are not in an imaginary state
of threats or sanctions,
Revolutionary Guard Deputy Cmdr.
Hossein Salami told Guard leaders
in late March as he inaugurated the
new closed communications system
called Basir, or Perspective.
Threats and sanctions are practi-
cally being enforced against us.
Communications have changed the
picture of the world including
threats and wars.
The system is vaguely described
as a something akin to a closed
mobile phone network, possibly
involving special relay towers and
passcodes.

WASHINGTON Driven by
high gas prices and an uncertain
economy, Americans are turning to
trains and buses to get around in
greater numbers than ever before.
But the aging transit systems theyre
riding face an $80 billion mainte-
nance backlog that jeopardizes serv-
ice just when its most in demand.
The boost in ridership comes as
pain at the gas pump and the sluggish
economic recovery combine with a
migration of young adults to cities
and new technology that makes tran-
sit faster and friendlier than in the
past. The number of transit trips over
a 12-month period will likely set a
new record later this month or next,
say Federal Transit Administration
ofcials. The current peak is 10.3 bil-
lion trips over a year, set in December
2008. But decades of deferred repairs
and modernization projects also have
many transit agencies scrambling to
keep trains and buses in operation.
The transit administration estimated
in 2010 that it would take $78 billion
to get transit systems into shape, and
ofcials say the backlog has grown
since then. In some places, workers
search the Internet for spare parts that
are no longer manufactured. In oth-
ers, trains operate using equipment
designed, literally, in the horse-and-
buggy era.
In Philadelphia, for example, com-
muters ride trains over rusty steel
bridges, some of them dating back to
the 19th century. The Southeastern
Pennsylvania Transportation
Authority which operates sub-
way, trolley, bus and commuter rail
systems is responsible for 346
bridges that are on average 80 years
old.

OPINION 9
High-speed rail funds
Editor,
The April 16 opinion piece titled
Dear Joe, Rich, Jerry and Leland, by
Sue Lempert stated: The issue will be
approving $2.3 billion in voter-
approved bonds to build the nations
rst high-speed rail system. Part of that
money will go toward the electrica-
tion of Caltrain as part of a blended
system to accommodate high-speed rail
on the present Caltrain right-of-way
between San Jose and San Francisco.
Ms. Lempert is mistaken in her belief
that the $2.6 billion will partially be
used to fund electrication of Caltrain.
All of these funds, if approved, are
headed to the Central Valley to build a
non-electried 130 mile set of tracks
The Train to Nowhere. The funds you
want, will have to come from separate
legislation, and not by illegally taking
funds from the $9 billion in Proposition
1A bond funds that are dedicated by
law to be used for high-speed rail and
not to improve Caltrain or any other
local transit agencies facilities.

Editor,
Regarding the potential vote in
November on the Cargill development
on San Francisco Bay in Redwood
City, I am struck by those who claim
that the debate over whether Cargill
should dump a new city onto our Bay
shoreline is somehow dividing our
community. Since when is a healthy
debate bad for the community?
Presumably complaints are coming
because, for many years now, Cargill
and its boosters have been losing this
debate. The San Francisco Chronicle
and San Jose Mercury News say that
this restorable open space area is the
wrong place to build housing.
Redwood City voters are 2-1 against
the project. Many labor and business
groups are deeply concerned. And
more than 150 leading elected offi-
cials in San Mateo County and all
around the Bay Area have asked our
council to stop moving this project
forward.
Is it too much to expect our City
Council to listen to the people?

Rosanne Foust
has a serious conflict
Editor,
Once again, Redwood City
Councilwoman Rosanne Foust seems
to have trouble figuring out which
master she serves. She confuses her
paid job with SAMCEDA, an advoca-
cy group that has publically endorsed
the DMB/Cargill Saltworks project,
with her responsibility as an elected
official in the city where project
approval or rejection is still pending.
In August 2010, The Fair Political
Practice Commission (FPPC) found
Foust in violation of state laws on
conflict of interest over her dual role
as paid advocate with SAMCEDA
and as a public official. The laws on
conflicts of interest prohibits public
officials from making ... or in any
way attempting to user her official
position to influence a governmental
decision.
Fousts most recent violation of
conflicts of interest took place at the
last City Council meeting where her
unethical appeal to her fellow coun-
cilmembers to take an action on
Saltworks included a solid endorse-
ment of Cargill.
The FPPC cautioned Foust to use
their warning as a guide in future
conduct. How can Redwood City res-
idents trust any elected official who
flaunts state law?

Letters to the editor
By Jim Ruane
I
, like many residents of San
Mateo County, have followed the
recent news coverage surrounding
health care districts, and the debate
over their role in serving the health care
needs of their communities.
As the mayor of San Bruno, I would
like to offer my perspective on the work
and impact of the Peninsula Health
Care District, which serves my commu-
nity, as well as our neighbors in
Millbrae, Hillsborough, San Mateo and
parts of Foster City and South San
Francisco. Simply put, the Peninsula
Health Care District lls a vital role of
supporting community health initia-
tives. For us in San Bruno, this was
especially evident following the
September 2010 natural gas line explo-
sion and re, which took the lives of
eight of our neighbors, destroyed 38
homes and left untold emotional scars
on residents and their families.
Disasters have a way, however, of
dening communities and their values.
Following that terrible September
evening, a large number of organiza-
tions stepped forward to offer support
and services to the
residents of San
Bruno.
The Peninsula
Health Care District
Board stepped for-
ward with a
$100,000 grant to
the American Red
Cross to help fast-
track the opening of the San Bruno
Resource and Recovery Center. This
center, which continues to serve resi-
dents to this day, offers a range of
resources, including case workers, men-
tal health services and education. For
some of our residents who still remain
displaced from their neighborhood, it is
a welcoming place to gather. The Red
Cross identied a need for a central-
ized, accessible location to administer
long-term recovery services, and the
district offered the nancial support to
make it happen.
This district partnership with the Red
Cross reects what I have always con-
sidered an unsung benet of living
and working in San Mateo County: a
spirit of working together. This county,
and its respective communities and
community organizations, (health and
otherwise), have always found ways to
work toward shared goals. The
Peninsula Health Care Districts role in
San Brunos rebuilding and healing
process is a reminder of the importance
of this collaborative spirit. It is also a
reminder of the benet of a health care
district that can make sure the resources
are available to support needed health
resources, anticipated and unanticipated
now and into the future.
Problems and unforeseen circum-
stances are part of life. Its the mark of
a community how it solves those prob-
lems and faces those circumstances that
will dictate our futures. I, for one, am
grateful we have the Peninsula Health
Care District to make sure, as its vision
statement promises, that all residents
enjoy optimal health through education,
prevention and access to needed health
care services.
Jim Ruane is the mayor of San Bruno.
Health care district serves a vital role The wisdom of the line
T
here was no mistaking the man speaking outside the
park for anything other than San Francisco Giants
fan. His attire was a dead giveaway the baseball-
themed Hawaiian shirt and cap adored with pennant and
Brian Wilson beard pins.
Then there was his tale of woe.
This was the rst Opening Day
Ive missed in 13 years, he
lamented to his friends, a few feet
ahead in line.
I was all ready to go. My kids
were in the car. I was ready to
drop them off to school and head
in, he continued, then my
youngest, he vomited.
Ugh, came the groans of under-
standing.
I asked him several times, are
you sure youre sick? Are you sure
you cant go to school? the man said while his companions
nodded and even the eavesdroppers like yours truly felt his
pain. Are you sure you cant go for four hours and just not
tell Mom?
But no, the dutiful father missed the game. The boy vomit-
ed twice more before crashing into bed for the day and his
resigned father still managed to get his ticket sold on Stub
Hub so it wasnt a complete loss. At least he made Saturdays
nine-inning nail biter but those tickets he has for the Phillies
series cant seem to get any takers despite only being ve
bucks above face value.
Waiting in a line be it baseball, another sport, another
event even you get to know your fellow attendees pretty
well. At least well enough to learn about the tragedy of
Opening Day sidelined by childhood illness. And well
enough to lament a little over the likely surgery of Brian
Wilson.
Like seatmates on a lengthy airplane ride, you form alle-
giances against those who try cutting into line and share catty
chuckles over the girls and women who think dressing for
sporting events somehow requires aunting ones goods and
wearing heels just asking for a fall down the stadium steps.
Sometimes you ooh and ahh together over the littlest fans,
their buzz cuts died orange for the occasion or twirling their
cheerleader-like outts of black and orange. Sometimes you
collectively seethe watching other lines slide through the gate
while yours hasnt moved an inch.
Just ve more minutes, the ticket takers yelled as the
masses snaking down the sidewalk shooting daggers at those
whod already gotten their hands on the giveaway item before
heading back out for pre-game nibbles elsewhere. Sure, we
agreed, the welcome mats were probably full of lead, made
by children in Third World countries and will fall apart in
days. But still.
Look at them! Howd they get theirs already? What is
going on here?
By that point, coalitions were formed and people who
couldnt have been picked from a line-up an hour previous
are now the staunchest allies.
A woman of a slightly advanced age found a good use for
her cane as she inched her way forward. As a few teens tried
slyly merging into the line ahead of her she stuck the stick
out to the left before they could advance.
Oh, oops. Did I getcha there? she asked, her eyes all
wide innocence, as the sneaky pair realized they werent
going to get an easy shortcut ahead of those who had waited
hours to reach the turnstiles.
For all her skills and ofcial sweatshirt, she surprisingly
had never before been to a Giants game.
I remember the days when they would check your body
personally, she chuckled as the attendant gingerly felt her
backpack for outlawed items.
We cant do that anymore, he said.
Thats too bad. Nobody has any fun these days, she said.
Sometimes in line you even pick up a few pointers.
Youve got to be prepared, one avid fan said, pulling out
an orange collapsible cooler while waiting for the gates to
open two hours before game time.
She was obviously an authority. She and her friend even
had Giants shoes and earrings and their collective combina-
tion of smile lines and vintage gear showed just how far back
their loyalty reached. They knew to get in line early on give-
away days. Even more importantly, they knew not to spend
that time in line empty-handed.
She pulled out a well-chilled Coors Light can.
Better hurry up if you want to nish up before getting to
the bag check table, I mentioned.
Silly me.
Two of these t in a Pringles can, she said. Just in case
you ever get tired of paying for drinks.
Good to know.
And good to know the lines outside the ballpark can be just
as nutty and unexpected as the American pastime inside. Just
be sure to bring an open mind, a lot of patience and maybe
even a potato chip can.

NEW YORK For most of the year,
Apple has propelled the Nasdaq com-
posite index forward. The stock climbed
from $405 at the start of the year to more
than $630 last week, and the Nasdaq eas-
ily beat the gains of other indexes.
Now Apple is sliding the other way
and taking the Nasdaq with it.
Apple stock dropped more than $25 on
Monday, its fth straight day of declines.
The losing streak has wiped out about
$60 billion of Apples market value.
Thats more than the most optimistic
projections of the value of Facebook.
Apple helped push the Nasdaq com-
posite index down 22.93 points on
Monday to 2,988.40. The index is now
up about 15 percent for the year after
almost reaching 20 percent by the end of
March.
Its been a very quirky market
because its been a few companies that
have delivered most of the rally this
year, said Mark Lamkin, CEO of
Lamkin Wealth Management in
Louisville, Ky. Its not been a broad-
based rally.
Apple, still the most valuable compa-
ny in the world, accounts for 12 percent
of the Nasdaq, more than any other
stock. It has been on an almost uninter-
rupted climb for three years, powered by
its hot iPhones and iPads.
But last week, a veteran technology
analyst boldly issued a downgrade for
Apple. He predicted that cellphone com-
panies would probably stop offering
such generous subsidies for customers to
adopt the iPhone.
Investors may also be locking in prof-
its and getting out before Apple reports
earnings April 24. Even after the ve-
day decline, Apple stock is up 43 percent
for the year.
Its had a huge run, said Burt White,
chief investment officer of LPL
Financial in Boston. Some investors
probably said, Might as well take some
prots.
The broader stock market was at,
helped by strong March retail sales but
hurt by continuing concerns about rising
borrowing costs for debt-troubled Spain.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
dropped 0.69 point to 1,369.57.
Apple dragged down other technology
stocks, which fell more than any other
industry group in the S&P. Google,
which went to trial Monday against
Oracle in a copyright case over the
Android phone, dropped for the second
day in a row.

Big movers
By Christopher S. Rugaber
WASHINGTON Americans bought
more electronics, started home improve-
ment projects and updated their
wardrobes last month, inspired by
warmer weather and a healthier job mar-
ket.
Retail sales rose 0.8 percent in March,
the Commerce Department said
Monday. The gain capped a strong quar-
ter for retail spending, which is con-
tributing to a brighter outlook among
economists for growth in the January-
March quarter.
Businesses are responding to the high-
er sales by restocking their shelves at a
steady pace, a sign that they expect the
trend to carry over into the spring.
More retail spending also helped off-
set a decline in condence among home-
builders. And it could ease concerns
about March hiring, which slowed to
half the pace of the previous three
months.
Retail sales soared in March with
stores in just about every category
recording sharp increases over February
levels, said Joel Naroff, chief economist
at Naroff Economic Advisors. And lets
not forget, the February spending was
strong.
The retail sales report is the govern-
ments rst look at consumer spending
each month. The gain contributed to a
mixed day of trading on Wall Street.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed up roughly 72 points to end the
day at 12,921.But the Standard & Poors
500 index ended the day essentially at,
while the Nasdaq composite fell 23
points.
Americans are spending more despite
paying higher gas prices and seeing little
growth in their wages.
Shoppers bought more furniture, gro-
ceries, clothes and sporting goods last
month. They also paid more for gas.
Still, excluding cars, gas and food,
sales rose 8.2 percent in the rst quarter,
the most in two years.
The gain pushed total retail sales to a
record high of $411.1 billion, 24 percent
higher than the recession low hit in
March 2009.
This is a good report, said Chris
Christopher, an economist at IHS Global
Insight. Consumers are spending
despite feeling the pump price pinch.
Other recent data suggest stronger
growth in the January-March quarter.
Business stockpiles rose a seasonally
adjusted 0.6 percent in February, the
Commerce Department said in a sepa-
rate report Monday.
U.S. retail sales rise in March
CHICAGO The parent company of
United Airlines said on Monday its chief
nancial ofcer is leaving to take a job at
Apple Inc.
Zane Rowe had been CFO at
Continental from 2008 before those two
airlines merged in 2010. The merged air-
line kept many of the executives from
Continental, including CEO Jeff Smisek.
Apple said Rowe will be one of its
vice presidents of sales. He built a great
team at United and we think he is going
to do a fantastic job
at Apple, Apple
spokesman Steve
Dowling said.
United said Rowe,
41, would be
replaced by John
Rainey, who was
also named an execu-
tive vice president.
His jobs will include
overseeing the nancial operations of
the company, including investor rela-
tions, eet issues, and procurement.
Rainey, 41, is also a Continental veter-
an, having worked there since 1997. He
had been senior vice president of nan-
cial planning and analysis since 2005.
John has the experience, intellect and
skills to be a superb CFO, and my entire
team looks forward to working with him
in his new role, said CEO Jeff Smisek.
Shares of Chicago-based United
Continental Holdings Inc. rose 86 cents,
or 4 percent, to close at $22.30 before
the change was announced. Shares of
Cupertino-based Apple ended trading
down 4.2 percent, or $25.10, at $580.13.
Oracle focuses on Google
emails in Android trial
SAN FRANCISCO Oracle intends
to rely heavily on Googles own internal
emails to prove Googles top executives
knew they were stealing a popular piece
of technology to build the Android soft-
ware that now powers more than 300
million smartphones and tablet comput-
ers.
Oracles strategy emerged Monday as
one of the companys lawyers kicked off
the opening phase of a lengthy trial pit-
ting two Silicon Valley powerhouses.
Google lawyers will make their open-
ing statements Tuesday.
The showdown in a San Francisco fed-
eral court centers on allegations that
Googles Android software infringes on
the patents and copyrights of Java, a pro-
gramming technology that Sun
Microsystems began developing 20
years ago.
Oracle Corp. acquired the rights to
Java when it bought Sun Microsystems
for $7.3 billion in 2010.

WNBA DRAFT: STANFORDS OGWUMIKE IS SELECTED WITH THE NO. 1 PICK >>> PAGE 12
Menlo baseball stays red hot
Two days. Four games. Four wins for the
Menlo College baseball team.
The Oaks complete a baseball-lled week-
end by taking down Simpson University four
times in a matter of two days.
The four wins improve the Oaks Cascade
Conference mark to 17-11, good for third in
the division. They are two games behind
College of Idaho and 4.5 behind division
leader Lewis-Clark State.
The Oaks stayed red hot in their nal home
doubleheader of the 2012 season, taking the
pair from Simpson.
Both games were tight throughout, but
ultimately Menlo took the upper hand with
wins of 11-8 and 5-2 to improve their
overall record to 23-21.
The Oaks have also won 14 of their last 16
contests and 11 of their last 12 in conference.
We expect to win now, said rst year head
coach Stefan McGovern via email.
Simpson was not a bad team and it was a
close a majority of the time, but I liked the
way we answered back every time we got
down. At the beginning of the year its almost
like we expected to lose, but now its a com-
pletely different mentality.
This sentiment was put on full display in the
bottom of the eighth inning of Game 1.
The Oaks began the bottom of the eighth
down by two, but loaded the bases with one
out.
Red Hawks reliever Joshua Yachinich
walked Coleman Cox and Collin Forgey, with
a John Hanley hit-by-pitch sandwiched in
between.
Up came senior Will Pierce looking to
deliver. Pierce came through, smacking a
double into the right center eld gap off
Daniel Chavez to deadlock the score at 8-8.
Moments later, with Pierce at second and
Forgey at third, Michael Brandi drove one
over the head of center elder Garrett Barnett,
giving the Oaks a 10-8 lead on a two-run
triple.
C.J. Dailey would go on to knock Brandi in
on a sacrice y to left, and after a 1-2-3 top
of the ninth by Menlo reliever Ryan Buscemi
to earn the save, the Oaks had themselves an
11-8 opening game victory.
Giants ink Bumgarner
NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL
Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner signed a six-year contract that keeps him in San Francisco until at least the 2017 baseball season.
SAN FRANCISCO Madison Bumgarner
had no intentions of waiting for free agency.
The quiet left-hander with a loud fastball
and a dominating presence on the mound has
risen rapidly through the ranks for the San
Francisco Giants. No reason to put off a pay
raise, either.
Bumgarner and the Giants agreed to a new
$35.56 million, six-year contract through the
2017 season Monday, locking up the lefty
through arbitration and his rst year of free
agency.
Now I can go out there and just pitch, he
said. It kind of took the weight off my shoul-
ders.
The deal includes $560,000 in base salary
this season, $35 million in new money over
the next ve years and $12 million options for
the 2018 and 2019 seasons. The options can
escalate to $14 million if he nishes in the top
three for the NL Cy Young Award or $16 mil-
lion if he wins the honor, said his agent, Tom
Little.
The move keeps San Franciscos top
three starters Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain
and Bumgarner under contract at least
through next season.
Weve made no secret of our strategy. Our
strategy is to lock up as many homegrown
players as we can, Giants President and CEO
Larry Baer said. It doesnt mean were going
to be able to lock up every homegrown play-
er.
San Francisco is off to a solid start.
The 22-year-old Bumgarner, squeezed
between Lincecum and Cain in the rotation,
helped form the starting pitching trio that car-
ried the Giants to the 2010 World Series title.
He has a 3.12 ERA and a 21-20 record in
three-plus seasons in San Francisco and is still
polishing his pitches.
The move was the latest step toward man-
agements offseason goal to keep the star
pitchers together beyond this season.
Lincecum, a two-time NL Cy Young Award
winner, agreed to a $40.5 million, two-year
contract in late January. And Cain signed a
$127.5 million, six-year contract the
largest deal for a right-handed pitcher in base-
ball history earlier this month.

More blues
for Sharks
By Josh Dubow
SAN JOSE Andy McDonald scored one
goal and set up another in the second period to
help the St. Louis Blues regain home-ice
advantage in their rst-round series against
San Jose by beating the Sharks 4-3 in Game 3
on Monday night.
Patrik Berglund, Jason Arnott and
Alexander Steen added power-play goals, and
Brian Elliott made 26 saves in place of injured
Jaroslav Halak as the Blues won their second
straight following a double-overtime loss in
Game 1 to take a 2-1 series lead. Game 4 is
Thursday in San Jose.
Brent Burns, Colin White and Logan
Couture scored for the Sharks, who again
struggled to nd answers against St. Louis,
losing for the sixth time in seven meetings this
season. If San Jose doesnt nd a way to pen-
etrate St. Louis soon, the Sharks could exit in
the rst round after making it to the Western
Conference nals the past two seasons.
After going more than eight years between
playoff victories, the second-seeded Blues
have now put together back-to-back wins with
the same formula that made them so success-
ful in the regular season.
Elliott and Halak have been the backbone of
a record-setting defense, and a balanced offen-
sive attack takes advantage of whatever mis-
takes the opposition makes. Five players had
at least two points apiece with McDonald
recording two assists to go with his goal, and
defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo helping out on
three goals.
For the second straight game, the Blues took
control in the second period. McDonald got
them off to the fast start when Berglund
deected Colaiacovos point shot off the post,
and McDonald knocked the rebound into an
open net just 1:01 in.
Halladay outduels
Lincecum, Philly tops Giants 5-2
SAN FRANCISCO Roy Halladay out-
lasted Tim Lincecum in a matchup of two-
time Cy Young Award winners, leading the
Philadelphia Phillies past the San Francisco
Giants 5-2 on Monday night.
Halladay (3-0) struck out six and allowed
seven hits in eight innings on a crisp and
cool spring night along the bay. He also had
an RBI single in a rematch of aces from the
2010 NL championship series.
Laynce Nixs two-run double highlighted
a four-run rst off Lincecum (0-2) that pro-
duced all the power Philadelphia needed.
The Phillies chased San Franciscos shaggy-
haired and struggling right-hander after he
gave up ve runs and eight hits in six
innings.
Jonathan Papelbon pitched a scoreless
ninth for his third save in three chances this
season.
A rare gathering between two of baseballs
SPORTS 12
franchises commitment to signing long-term deals with both.
However, he doesnt expect anything to get done during the sea-
son, as is the case in most years.
We see the future in both those guys, too, Evans said, and
its important to us to make sure they know that.
Bumgarner has been an important cog.
The Giants drafted the lefty 10th overall in 2007, and it didnt
take long for him to make a splash. At 20 years and 38 days old,
Bumgarner became the franchises youngest pitcher to start a
game in his major league debut since the Giants moved from
New York in 1958.
A year later, he became the fth-youngest pitcher to start a
World Series game and fourth-youngest to win one at just 21
years and 91 days old when San Francisco beat the Phillies for
the citys rst championship.
Its hard to believe hes 22 years old, Giants manager Bruce
Bochy said. To have two-fths of our rotation tied up (long
term), thats always a good thing. We always talk about special
talent throwing a baseball, but his makeup is off the charts.
Bumgarner is on his way to making San Francisco special.
The 6-foot-5, 235-pounder nished 11th in the NL last year
with a 3.21 ERA and reached the 200-inning mark for the rst
time in his career. Bumgarner struck out 191 and walked 46 last
season.
His 8.40 strikeouts per nine innings in 2011 also was the
third-best ratio among all NL left-handed pitchers behind Los
Angeles Clayton Kershaw (9.57) and Philadelphias Cliff Lee
(9.21) both previous Cy Young Award winners.
Bumgarner is 1-1 with a 3.21 ERA in his rst two starts this
year. Fittingly, his next outing comes against Philadelphia on
Tuesday night opposite right-hander Joe Blanton, a member of
what many consider to be baseballs best rotation, which
includes Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels.
Who knows how good we can be? Bumgarner said. I think
we can be just as good, if not better.

Raiders re-sign S Matt Giordano
ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders have re-signed safety
Matt Giordano to a free-agent contract.
The team announced the move Monday.
Giordano played 15 games for Oakland last season. He led
the team with ve interceptions and added 66 tackles and one
sack.
The 29-year-old Giordano has history with the Raiders new
hierarchy. He played one season in Green Bay, where new gen-

department and spent 2010 in New Orleans with Oakland coach
Dennis Allen serving as defensive backs coach.
Giordano played his rst four seasons with Indianapolis,

Stanford star goes No. 1 overall
BRISTOL, Conn. Nnemkadi
Ogwumike is excited to be staying in
California.
The Stanford sen-
ior was picked No.
1 in the WNBA
draft by the Los
Angeles Sparks on
Monday.
Im grateful for
the L.A. Sparks for
picking me,
Ogwumike said. It
means a lot and its
one of the highest
accolades Ive ever received. Im look-
ing forward to going back to Cali.
Ogwumike helped guide the Cardinal
to the Final Four during all four of her
seasons at the school, including this
years loss to eventual champion Baylor.
The 6-foot-2 forward, who averaged
22.5 points and 10.2 rebounds this past
season, is the rst Stanford player to be
taken with the No. 1 pick. Previously
three Cardinal players have been drafted
third overall.
I think looking back, a lot of the
players could have gone No. 1,
Ogwumike said. Things go different
ways. Im really proud to be part of this
legacy.
Despite finishing with the fourth-
worst record in the league at 15-19, the
Sparks won the draft lottery in
November. They had the smallest
chance of the four teams with a shot at
winning with only a 10 percent chance.
They are the second team in the 11-year
history of the lottery to win with the
fewest number of chances. Phoenix did
it ahead of the 2007 draft.
Los Angeles also had the top pick in
2008 and selected Tennessee star
Candace Parker, who went on to win
Rookie of the Year and MVP honors in
her rst professional season.
While Ogwumikes selection was
almost a certainty with the top pick, the
rest of the draft was a bit more of a mys-
tery with no clear-cut choices going in.
Tennessee guard Shekinna Stricklen
went second to the Seattle Storm, who
will be without star Lauren Jackson for
the rst part of the season since she will
stay in Australia to train for the London
Olympics this summer.
I was a little surprised, Stricklen
said. It helped when I did a workout
with coach Brian (Agler), I had a feeling
but wasnt sure.
Notre Dame post Devereaux Peters
went third to the defending champion
Minnesota Lynx, who had ve of the
rst 20 picks in the draft.

The Blues capitalized on an interference penalty by Douglas
Murray midway through the period when McDonald threaded a
cross-ice pass to Arnott, who beat Antti Niemi to give the stingy
Blues a commanding two-goal lead.
The Sharks came up with a few good chances in the second
but Elliott robbed his former college teammate at Wisconsin, Joe
Pavelski, on one shot from the slot, and stopped everything else
to keep it 3-1.
The frustration for San Jose became evident late in the period
when Daniel Winnik took a boarding penalty against
Colaiacovo, which proved crucial when Steen beat Niemi with a
point shot on the power play in the opening minute of the third
to make it 4-1.
Colin White scored with 3:02 remaining and Logan Couture
added a goal with 18.5 seconds left for the Sharks, but it was far
too late for a comeback.
The boisterous, towel-waving crowd was energized from the
start after Murray attened T.J. Oshie with a check just after the
opening faceoff.
But there was little for the home crowd to cheer after that as
the Blues made it difcult for the Sharks to come out of their
own end and controlled much of the play.
Niemi started strong for San Jose, making a pair of tough
saves against Oshie and David Perron after a turnover by Winnik
but he couldnt shut the Blues down on their rst power play.

The days second game and 2012 home
nale featured a strong pitching performance
from Menlos James Jensen.
The starting pitcher went 7 2-3 innings,
allowing just two earned runs to notch his sec-
ond win of the season.
The strong showing gave the Oaks a chance
to break through off Simpson pitching late in
the game.
Tied 2-2 in the bottom of the seventh,
Menlo loaded the bases.
Michael Brandi came up for a pinch hit at-
bat and promptly lined one up the middle for
a run scoring single to give the Oaks a 3-2
lead.
Menlo tacked on two insurance runs on a
C.J. Dailey sacrice y and a Coleman Cox
RBI single.
Alden was responsible for all three earned
runs in the inning to take the loss.
The combination of senior relievers Chris
Cleary and Tristan Heckerl got the nal four
outs of the game to secure the 5-2 victory and
push Menlo to the series sweep.
The Oaks will take a break in their confer-
ence schedule this Tuesday as the team travels
to NCAA DII San Francisco State for a
rematch of a game won by Menlo last
Tuesday, 10-4.
First pitch is slated for 2:30 p.m.

He may be a very good golfer when the
stage lights arent on. But put him on a
course for a real round of golf and he falls
apart.
Before withdrawing Friday, Rice was 8-
over through seven holes during his rst
round Thursday and things did not get much
better.
I would say even I could do that, but I
wont, because I cant. I would love to be a
bogey golfer averaging 1-over on every
hole. But Im not even that good.
Bogey golf is the rst goal every hacker
wishes to attain. Bogey golf is a good round
for those who play casually. That is not good
for anyone who believes they are good
enough to contemplate turning pro.
Given Rices work ethic, he may eventual-
ly get to the level he wants. But given his
success in his previous profession, maybe he
should just stick with putting his name on the
tournament and not his game in the tourna-
ment.

Looks like reworks are just starting
between KNBR and recently red host Ralph
Barbieri.
Barbieri had hired attorney Angela Alioto
and a lawsuit appears to be brewing for
wrongful termination. The Barbieri camp
released a statement Sunday outlining their
issues with KNBR management and the sta-
tions parent company Cumulus Media.
KNBR red off a statement of its own,
saying Barbieri was red for cause, the du
jour buzzword in the wake of the ring of
University of Arkansas football coach Bobby
Petrino.
KNBR has made a lot of changes since
Cumulus took over and the Atlanta-based
media conglomerate has really exed its
muscle in the last year some good, some
bad.
The good:
Bringing Larry Krueger back from exile.
Some people dont like Krueger, but he
works well with Gary Radnich from 9 a.m.
to noon. He keeps Radnich somewhat reined
in and on topic.
Moving Damon Bruce back to KNBR
1050 in the noon to 3 p.m. slot. It was a
smart move coming on the heels of the disas-
trous pairing of Bruce and Radnich in the
morning. Bruce does not need a sidekick and
Radnich was reduced to the one paired with
Bruce.
The bad:
Unceremoniously dumping the Tony
Bruno segment with Radnich. Many KNBR
fans said the half-hour between the two was
why they tuned in. The abrupt breakup
rubbed a lot of people the wrong way and
started this latest round of bad vibes at The
Sports Leader.
I think the thing Cumulus does to upset
fans is just the sheer callousness with which
they dispatch people. It always seems to
come out the blue rst Bruno and now
Barbieri. Maybe if management showed a lit-
tle compassion and humanity, people would
cut them some slack.

Kenyas Korir, Cherop win Boston Marathon
BOSTON Trailing the leaders by 200
yards when the Boston Marathon slogged
through Heartbreak Hill, Wesley Korir passed
them one by one until he took the lead on his
way out of Kenmore Square.
Thats when leg cramps forced him to slow
down and relinquish the lead.
Its hot out there, in case you didnt know,
he told reporters after enduring temperatures
in the mid-80s to win the 116th Boston
Marathon on Monday. I knew it was going to
be hot, and one important thing that I had to
take care of today ... was really hydrate as
much as possible. I guess my biology degree
kicked in a little bit.
Singing religious songs as he trudged along
the scorching pavement, the native Kenyan
a permanent resident of the United States
retook the lead from Levy Matebo in the nal
mile to cross the nish line in 84.8-degree
temperatures with a time of 2 hours, 12 min-
utes, 40 seconds.
It was almost 10 minutes behind the world
best established here a year ago by Geoffrey
Mutai and the second-slowest Boston victory
since 1985. Mutai, who was hoping a repeat
victory would earn him a spot on the Kenyan
Olympic team, dropped out after 18 miles
with stomach cramps.
Instead, it was Korir who may have won a
ticket to the London Games.
To me, I think running the Boston
Marathon is an Olympic event, he said. I
dont care what comes up after this, but Im
really, really happy to win Boston.
Sharon Cherop won the womens race to
complete the Kenyan sweep, outkicking
Jemima Jelagat Sumgong to win by 2 seconds
in 2:31:50. The womens winner was decided
by a sprint down Boylston Street for the fth
consecutive race all of them decided by 3
seconds or less.

GIANTS
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Barry Zito and Matt
Cain accepted the mic from Train lead singer
Patrick Monahan and belted out Journeys
Dont Stop Believin as a couple of thou-
sand fans cheered and sang right along.
On Sunday night, these two mega-million-
aire pitchers took a different stage, performing
with Train during the rock bands sixth and
nal date in San Francisco.
Train reached out to Zito and asked him to
take part Sunday night at The Fillmore and
he wasnt going to pass up that chance. The
left-hander joined Monahan and Co. late in
their set for the groups popular song Save
Me San Francisco, playing the guitar and
singing. Then, Monahan invited Cain to come
down and Zito stayed in for one more song as
they led everyone in Dont Stop Believin.
So great, Zito said afterward. It was a lot
of fun, with Cainer up there. All good.
They high-ved afterward, downright giddy
about what they had just done.
It was good, Cain said, smiling while get-
ting a congratulatory hug from wife, Chelsea.
She lmed the performance for the pitcher,
who earlier this month signed a new $127.5
million, six-year contract.
Zito knew the venue well, too.
Ive been here a bunch of times but never
played, he said. Its neat.
Tori Burns, daughter of late Giants majority
owners Harmon and Sue Burns, attended the
sold-out show and had a blast with others in
the Giants VIP section above the stage.
Zito has another gig in the works for later
this year. Through his Strikeouts for Troops
foundation, which offers nancial assistance
to wounded servicemen and servicewomen
and their families, he will host the inaugural
Strikeouts For Troops All-Star Gala and
nationally televised concert on Nov. 11,
Veterans Day, on the ight deck of the USS
Midway aircraft carrier in San Diego.
The concert will draw about 3,500 specta-
tors and feature renowned musical artists,
appearances by major leaguers, other celebri-
ties, veterans, and servicemen and service-
women and their families.
We believe there is a natural connection
and synergy between Strikeouts For Troops
and Major League Baseball, and by teaming
together we can bring awareness to and make
a difference in the lives of our troops and mil-
itary families in their time of need, Zito said
in announcing the show. We also believe this
All-Star Gala will become the iconic and
true Veterans Day event.
For Zito, Sunday nights jam session was
just a great way to warm up for that event
not to mention an opportunity he doesnt get
every day.
Oh, yeah, he said with a grin.
Barry Zito jams with Train
Angels sink the Oakland Athletics
ANAHEIM Kendrys Morales hit his rst
homer in nearly two years and drove in four
runs, and Jered Weaver recorded his 1,000th
career strikeout while pitching ve-hit ball
into the seventh inning of the Los Angeles
Angels 6-0 victory over the Oakland
Athletics on Monday night.
Morales followed his three-run homer in the
rst inning with an eighth-inning double to
score Albert Pujols, who went 2 for 4 with a
double. Pujols still hasnt homered in 10
games with the Angels, but his new cleanup
hitter provided plenty of power as Los
Angeles opened a weeklong homestand with
just its second win in six games.
Morales staked Weaver (2-0) to a healthy
lead, and the AL Cy Young runner-up retired
his rst 11 batters.
Weaver struck out six, rolling his career
total into quadruple digits when he fanned
Josh Reddick in the sixth inning.
Reddick had two hits and Brandon
McCarthy pitched into the eighth inning for
the As, who have lost three straight.
McCarthy (0-2) yielded 11 hits and ve runs
while failing in his fourth attempt to get his
rst win of the season.
Oakland was shut out for the third time in
six games when Jemile Weeks struck out with
the bases loaded in the ninth.
Morales last homer nearly wrecked his
career when he jumped on home plate to cel-
ebrate a game-ending grand slam on May 29,
2010, severely breaking his ankle.
best never lived up to the billing.
The pitching matchup was the rst regular-
season meeting of multiple Cy Young Award
winners since Johan Santana and Randy
Johnson on May 16, 2009. It also was the rst
time Halladay and Lincecum who split two
matchups in the memorable NL championship
series the Giants won in six games en route to
a World Series title faced each other in the
regular season.
Only one still resembled an ace.
Lincecum, coming off the worst outing of
his career, has given up more runs in the rst
inning this season (nine) than he did all of last
(eight). Halladay had only been nicked for
one run and seven hits total in home wins
against Pittsburgh and Miami previously.
Philadelphia backed its ace with all the run
support he needed before Lincecum could
even record two outs.
Hunter Pence and Shane Victorino each sin-
gled home a run and Nix smacked a two-run
double in the rst to give the Phillies a quick
4-0 lead. By the time Lincecum recovered
from the 30-pitch inning, the damage had
been done.
Halladay worked out of a jam in the rst,
allowing only Aubrey Huffs sacrice y to
right. The pitcher even lined a run-scoring sin-
gle in the fourth.
After Lincecums RBI grounder in the
fourth sliced Philadelphias lead to 5-2, Pence
picked up Halladay with a leaping grab
against the right-eld wall on a slicing y by
Angel Pagan to save a run.
An announced sellout of 41,136 fans had
little else to get excited for other than watch-
ing one of baseballs best.

Spurs down Dubs
OAKLAND Tim Duncan
scored 13 points in his shortest night
of work this season, Tiago Splitter
added 15 points and eight rebounds
and the San Antonio Spurs beat the
Golden State Warriors 120-99 on
Monday night to move into the top
spot in the Western Conference.
Gary Neal added 17 points and
Manu Ginobili scored 12 points
with four assists for the Spurs, win-
ners of 17 of their last 20. San
Antonio moved percentage points
ahead of Oklahoma City in the race
for the No. 1 seed in the West. The
Thunder lost 92-77 to the Los
Angeles Clippers.
Duncan played just 12 minutes
and took only eight shots, part of
coach Greg Popovichs plan to keep
his starters fresh for the postseason.
Tony Parker (eight points, five
assists) and Ginobili joined Duncan
on the bench for most of the second
half when the Spurs led by as many
as 32 points.
Nate Robinson had a season-high
30 points and Klay Thompson
scored 29 for Golden State, which
has lost 14 straight to San Antonio.
Popovich said before the game he
was more concerned with his teams
health than he was in trying to get a
better seeding in the West, especial-
ly with the Spurs playing the rst of
three games in three nights.
Trying to win is part of it, trying
to stay healthy is part of it, said
Popovich, who called this his deep-
est team ever in San Antonio.
Crew in fatal race joined by love
SAN FRANCISCO The yacht
that was rolled by unexpectedly
large waves in a tragic accident that
left one crew member dead and four
missing was manned mostly by
experienced sailors who lived to be
on the water and understood the
risk, friends and fellow sailors said
Monday.
Eight people were aboard the Low
Speed Chase on Saturday when a
pair of swells slammed all but one
of them into the water near the
Farallon Islands and sent the yacht
onto rocks.
Four had spent several years sail-
ing together on the now-wrecked
boat. They were joined by a shared
love and the various skills they
brought to a day or week at sea, said
Adam McAfee, who was a member
of that core crew and typically
helmed the vessel until about 18
months ago.
There is a part of me that is
thinking, Would this have turned
out differently if I was on board?
said McAfee, 45. Could we have
gotten out of there without anything
happening, unscathed, or would I be
dead Number 6?
The owner, James Jay
Bradford, 41, of Chicago, recog-
nized that he did not have the
expertise to skipper a sailboat in rig-
orous conditions, but he took care
and pride in working with a captain
and putting together a crew he
joined as a hands-on member,
McAfee said.
The scion of a family that made
millions through the Nashville-
based brokerage company, the low-
key Bradford had lived in San
Francisco until a few years ago and
bought the 38-foot vessel in 2006.
He quickly began going on local
and distance races to Hawaii and
Mexico with fellow sailors from the
San Francisco Yacht Club in Marin
County, where he kept the boat.
With McAfee in the drivers seat
and Bradford working in the middle
of the boat, Marc Kasanin, a profes-
sional artist and talented sailor close
to their ages, was recruited to trim
the main sail. Rounding out the
group of regulars was Jordan
Fromm and Nick Vos, strong young
men in their 20s who had grown up
sailing with the yacht clubs youth
sailing program, and Alexis Busch,
Vos longtime girlfriend.
They were inseparable, they did
everything together, said Zoe Fritz,
20, a co-worker of Buschs at a
Marin County health club.

KABUL, Afghanistan For Taliban
militants and U.S. strategists alike, all
roads in this impoverished country of
mountain passes, arid deserts and nearly
impassable goat tracks lead to this ancient
capital of 3 million people nestled in a
high and narrow valley.
The Taliban made their intentions clear
over the weekend, mounting spectacular
coordinated attacks that spawned an 18-
hour battle with Afghan and NATO
forces. And now, the U.S. is gearing up
for what may be the last major American-
run offensive of the war a bid to secure
the approaches to the city. While bomb-
ings and shootings elsewhere in
Afghanistan receive relatively little atten-
tion, attacks in the capital alarm the gen-
eral population, undermine the govern-
ments reputation and frighten foreigners
into eeing the country. Thats why insur-
gents on Sunday struck locations that
were so fortied they could cause little or
no damage, including the diplomatic
quarter, the parliament and a NATO base.
These are isolated attacks that are done
for symbolic purposes, and they have not
regained any territory, U.S. Defense
Secretary Leon Panetta said Monday.
The U.S.-led spring offensive, expected
to begin in the coming weeks, may be
NATOs last chance to shore up Kabuls
defenses before a signicant withdrawal
of combat troops limits its options. The
focus will be regions that control the main
access routes, roads and highways into
Kabul from the desert south and the
mountainous east.
U.S. preps for last major Afghan offensive
U.N.s Ban: Syria must allow observers full access
BEIRUT U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said
Monday the Syrian government is responsible for guaranteeing
U.N. observers full freedom of movement to
monitor the countrys tenuous cease-re,
which appeared to be unraveling as regime
forces pounded the opposition stronghold of
Homs, activists said.
Even though overall violence in Syria has
dropped signicantly since the truce took
effect Thursday, the governments shelling
of the central city of Homs over the past four
days has raised doubts about President
Bashar Assads commitment to special
envoy Ko Annans plan to end 13 months of violence and
launch talks on the countrys political future.
An advance team of six observers arrived in Damascus late
Sunday to negotiate the missions ground rules with Syrian
authorities.
Ban, speaking to reporters in Brussels, called on Assad to
ensure the observers work is not hindered.
It is the Syrian governments responsibility to guarantee free-
dom of access, freedom of movement within the country, he
said.
Norways mass killers tears not out of pity
OSLO, Norway Anders Behring Breivik shed tears as he
went on trial Monday for killing 77 people but not for his vic-
tims. The emotional display came when prosecutors showed his
anti-Muslim video.
Dressed in a dark suit and sporting a thin beard, the right-wing
fanatic defended the July 22 massacre as an act of self-defense
in his professed civil war, and sat stone-faced as prosecutors
described how he killed each of his victims.
But he was gripped by emotion when they showed a video

Suddenly, the self-styled resistance ghters eyes welled up.
He cringed his face and wiped away tears with trembling hands.
Nobody believes that he cried out of pity for the victims,
said Mette Yvonne Larsen, a lawyer representing survivors and
victims families in the court proceedings.

WASHINGTON More people pull the
night shift. Teens text past midnight and stum-
ble to class at dawn. Travelers pack red-eye
ights.
Nodding off behind the wheel isnt the only
threat from a lack of shut-eye. Theres growing
evidence that people who regularly sleep too
little and at the wrong time suffer long-lasting
consequences that a nap wont cure: An
increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and
other health problems.
We have a societal conspiracy for sleep dep-
rivation, says Russell Sanna of Harvard
Medical Schools sleep medicine division, who
attended a TEDMED conference last week
where scientists called sleep loss one of health
cares big challenges.
Just how unhealthy is it? Consider how sleep
may play a role in the nations diabetes epi-
demic.
Studies have long shown that people who
sleep fewer than ve hours a night have an
increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes,
the kind that tends to strike later in life.
Rotating shift work three or more night
shifts a month interspersed with day or evening
hours raises the risk, too, says a recent report
from researchers who analyzed years of med-
ical records from the huge Nurses Health
Study.
Diet and physical activity are big factors in
Type 2 diabetes. Certainly its harder to work
out or choose an apple over a doughnut when
youre tired, especially at 3 a.m. when your
bodys internal clock knows you should be
sleeping.
But a study published last week shows sleep
plays a more complex role than that. As sleep
drops and normal biological rhythms are dis-
rupted, your body physically changes in ways
that can help set the stage for diabetes, reports
neuroscientist Orfeu Buxton of Bostons
Brigham and Womens Hospital.
Buxtons team had 21 healthy volunteers
spend almost six weeks living in a laboratory
where their diet, physical activity, sleep and
even the light was strictly controlled.
The volunteers started out well-rested. But
for three of those weeks, they were allowed
only about 5 1/2 hours of sleep every 24 hours
at varying times of the day or night, to
mimic a bad shift rotation or prolonged jet lag.
That knocked out of whack the bodys circa-
Beyond drowsy, too little
sleep ups diabetes risk
By Mike Stobbe
ATLANTA Accidents are killing far
fewer children and teenagers than in the
past, according to a new government report
released Monday.
The death rate for youths ages 19 and
younger dropped about 30 percent from
2000 to 2009. The number of deaths dropped
too, from about 12,400 to about 9,100.
Weve made progress, and because weve
made progress our children are safer than
ever before, said Ileana Arias of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, the
agency that released the report.
But accidental injuries remain the leading
cause of death for youths ages 1 to 19. On
average, one child dies every hour from
fires, falls and other accidents, she added.
A 41 percent drop in traffic fatalities had a
huge impact on the numbers crashes
annually account for half or more of kids
deaths from accidents. The CDC didnt ana-
lyze exactly what caused that decline, but
officials believe it was helped by measures
like graduated drivers licenses and use of
child safety and booster seats.
Childhood deaths from drownings, fires
and falls also plummeted.
Meanwhile, the CDC saw an alarming
jump in deaths from prescription drug over-
doses, a trend seen in adults but which also
reaches down into the ranks of older
teenagers.
Accidental poisonings for all kids and
teens rose by 80 percent, to 824 in 2009,
according to the new report. About half of
the most recent poisoning deaths were ado-
lescents ages 15 to 19 who overdosed on
prescription drugs.
For some kids, prescription medications
some of them snagged from parents med-
icine cabinets appear to be replacing mar-
ijuana as gateway drugs, said Arias, the
CDCs principal deputy director.
The toll from suffocations also rose, to
1,160 deaths in 2009. Roughly 1,000 of
those were infants ages 1 and younger, a
group for which the suffocation rate climbed
54 percent.
CDC ofcials repeated their call for parents
to put babies to bed on their backs, remove
loose bedding materials and take other steps
to make cribs and sleeping places safer.
The report also looked at trends in individ-
ual states. The authors saw declines in
almost every state, with the biggest drops in
Delaware, Iowa, Oregon and Virginia.
Mississippi continued to have the worst
numbers, with an accidental death rate in
2009 of 25 per 100,000 people ages 19 and
younger. Massachusetts had the lowest rate
at 4 per 100,000.
The CDC report was based on death cer-
tificate information for youths ages 19 and
younger for the years 2000 through 2009.
Fewer kids die from accidental
injuries but drug overdoses up
Theres growing evidence that people who regularly sleep too little and at the wrong time suffer
long-lasting consequences that a nap wont cure: An increased risk of diabetes, heart disease
and other health problems.
Weve made
progress, and because
weve made progress our
children are safer than ever before.

otherwise tie up the property for many
years to come at a very low lease rate.
Perez hopes the $20 million will be
put in reserves with a portion of it
going toward addressing the citys
ongoing structural deficit. The sale is
expected to be finalized by June.
It is a great deal for both parties,
Perez told the Daily Journal yesterday.
This deal empowers them to make the
best use of the land.
Litigation had also become costly,
Bronitsky wrote.
Both sides can now save money on
legal fees, said Scott Maltz, the vice
president of the board of directors at
the NPJC.
The cultural arts center is on hold,
Maltz said. The NPJC will now con-
centrate on increasing its program-
ming, he said.
The city sent a letter in March 2011
to the NPJC demanding it pay $1 mil-
lion in damages and forfeit the parcel
of land on which the cultural center
was to be built.
The NPJC, opened in 2004, failed to
obtain a building permit for a cultural
arts center by January 2008, causing a
quiet dispute between the two parties
for more than a year.
The deal to sell the land means the
fight is over, Perez said.
They are a good partner, Perez said
about the NPJC. It is the best deal for
the city.
Some key development terms in the
document include a $20 million sale
price with a $1 million down payment
and a $19 million promissory note at
3.25 percent interest for 25 years.
Kiesel said the interest rate was too
low but Councilwoman Pam Frisella
supported the sale.
I have no question that this is the
right thing to do, Frisella said at the
council meeting.
The loan to the NPJC is secured by a
first position deed of trust held by the
city. While the NPJC pays off the
promissory note to the city, its obliga-
tions under the current lease agree-
ment will no longer apply, including
obligations for future construction.
The NPJC will be allowed to modify
or eliminate discounts for Foster City
residents, another item of concern for
Kiesel.
The parking area currently used by
the NPJC which is located on the
vacant 15 acres owned by the city will
be replaced with an alternative perma-
nent parking site, targeted for the end
of 2012, according to a staff report.
The 140,000-square-foot center is
located at 800 Foster City Blvd. and
has 10,000 members, half of which
reside in Foster City, according to the
PJCC.

dian rhythm, a master biological clock that regulates such pat-
terns as when we become sleepy and how body temperature
rises and falls.
What happened was startling: Blood sugar levels increased
after meals, sometimes to pre-diabetic levels, because the pan-
creas stopped secreting enough insulin, Buxton reported in the
journal Science Translational Medicine.
At the same time, the volunteers metabolic rate slowed by 8
percent. The researchers had them on a diet so they didnt gain
weight but Buxton says typically, a metabolism drop of that
size could mean gaining 10 to 12 pounds over a year.
The results make sense, says Dr. Michael Thorpy, sleep cen-
ter director at New Yorks Monteore Medical Center and a
neurology professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
If were going to spend a third of our day sleeping, theres
got to be a good reason for it, says Thorpy, who notes that dia-
betes is far from the only worry.
Up to 70 million Americans are estimated to suffer from
chronic problems with sleep, from insomnia to sleep apnea.
Impaired sleep has been linked to high blood pressure, heart
disease, obesity, depression, memory impairment and a weak-
ened immune system. Still another concern: The World Health
Organization has classied night shift work as a probable car-
cinogen, because too much light at night may hamper a hor-
mone involved both with sleep and suppressing tumor cells.
Dont people adjust to the night shift if theyre on it long
enough? Buxton says rotating shifts probably are most worri-
some. In his study, the volunteers bodies went back to normal
after nine nights of sufcient sleep at the right time. No one
knows how long it takes before sleep deprivation and an off-
kilter biological clock may cause permanent damage.
Monteores Thorpy says natural night owls seem to adapt
better to night shifts, but that people never fully adapt if they
swing back to daytime schedules on their days off. Also, about
30 percent of regular night workers have trouble sleeping dur-
ing their off hours or are particularly fatigued, he says, some-
thing termed shift work disorder.
The consumer message:
The National Institutes of Health says adults need between
seven and nine hours of sleep daily for good health.
If you work nights, go straight to bed when you get home,
Buxton advises. Avoid too much light along the way. Thorpy
says wearing yellow- or orange-tinted sunglasses on the drive
home can block short-wavelength blue light that triggers
wakefulness.
Let natural light help keep your biological sleep clock on
schedule, advises Harvards sleep-education Web site. For
most people, sunlight in the morning is key. For the night shift,
more bright light in the evening shifts peoples internal clock,
Buxton explains.
For anyone, a sleep-inducing bedroom is one thats dark,
quiet and cool. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and stressful situations
near bedtime. Electronics right before bed arent advised,
either. Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day
also helps.

obligation to maintain reserves and the
districts support for San Bruno re vic-
tims, childrens health care and nursing
program loans.
The discussion of whether health care
districts should contribute more to
health care is not new for San Mateo
County but has received renewed atten-
tion including last Wednesdays hearing
and Gordons spot bill.
Knowledge and understanding are key
steps toward passage, he said, and those
at the Assembly Committee on
Accountability and Administrative
Review got an earful.
This hearing was very helpful in
terms of the legislation Im carrying and
very, very helpful in terms of awakening
the current discussion, Gordon said.
The bottom line is even if my legisla-
tion is not amended its going to move
forward.
Gordons bill would mandate that dis-
tricts disclose explicit information on
the share of district resources used for
actual health care services and those
used for administration needs. Gordon
isnt sure if there will be any opposition
to his bill and said it is hard to gauge
right now because many of the states
health care districts are situated differ-
ently than San Mateo County.
The key thing is not to do anything to
harm districts doing a great job. Again,
what I want to do is provide that higher
level of accountability, Gordon said.
Gordon said there is still time this ses-
sion for a public debate and legislative
consideration.
In her testimony, Fraser recommend-
ed requiring health care districts to
shoulder some of the indigent care and
taking a cue from federal health care
reform requirements of insurance com-
panies mandate that districts spend
95 percent of their revenue for health
services.
Although Fraser has no role in any
legislative remedies, she said any fund-
ing from Peninsula could make a huge
difference for the nearly 3,000 people
waiting to get primary care through the
Health System.
In contrast, Fraser praised the Sequoia
Healthcare District which also does not
operate a hospital but contributes hefty
amounts toward local care. Specically,
for the past five years, the Sequoia
Healthcare District has given between
$1.6 million and $2 million annually for
uninsured adults and $4.3 million for a
new clinic. Both districts have also
aided low-income children and support
specialized paramedic response.
Part of the concern over what the dis-
tricts spend is also relative to what they
take in and keep. Based on 2010 num-
bers, the Sequoia Healthcare District
had approximately $19 million in
assets, collected $7 million in taxes and
awarded $8 million in grants. Peninsula
Health Care District had $46 million in
reserves, collected approximately $4
million in taxes and granted $2 million.
The two districts philosophies and
financial strategies are often pitted
against each other as Sequoia awards
more than it takes in and Peninsula
argues its hefty reserves are necessary in
case it ever has to buy the hospital back
from parent Sutter Health.
Gordon isnt swayed.
I still have trouble with the argument
that Peninsula needs to stockpile money
in case Sutter goes bankrupt, Gordon
said.
Fraser sees the policy in terms of how
quickly health care overall changes and
said planning decades in advance is not
something anybody has the luxury to
do.
It seems so unlikely to plan for
because if something was to happen to
Sutter we would have a much more
massive problem, she said.
With health care delivery moving
away from large-scale medical facili-
ties, the collapse of a hospital might not
be the primary worry the district main-
tains, she said.
Gordon compared the districts to
redevelopment agencies a govern-
mental function that served a purpose
but is not above periodic review to
determine if they are still relevant.
These districts were created in a dif-
ferent time and place, Gordon said.

HEALTH
HEALTH 19
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
WASHINGTON Tornado,
hurricane or flood, nursing homes
are woefully unprepared to protect
frail residents in a natural disaster,
government investigators say.
Emergency plans required by the
government often lack specific
steps such as coordinating with
local authorities, notifying rela-
tives or even pinning name tags
and medication lists to residents in
an evacuation, according to the
findings.
That means the plans may not be
worth the paper theyre written on.
Nearly seven years after
Hurricane Katrinas devastation of
New Orleans exposed the vulnera-
bility of nursing homes, serious
shortcomings persist.
We identified many of the same
gaps in nursing home preparedness
and response, investigators from
the inspector generals office of
the Health and Human Services
Department wrote in the report
being released Monday.
Emergency plans lacked relevant
information. ... Nursing homes
faced challenges with unreliable
transportation contracts, lack of
collaboration with local emer-
gency management, and residents
who developed health problems.
The report recommends that
Medicare and Medicaid add spe-
cific emergency planning and
training steps to the existing feder-
al requirement that nursing homes
have a disaster plan. Many such
steps are now in nonbinding feder-
al guidelines that investigators
found were disregarded.
In a written response, Medicare
chief Marilyn Tavenner agreed
with the recommendation, but
gave no timetable for carrying it
out.
Nationally, more than 3 million
people spent at least some time in
a nursing home during 2009,
according to the latest available
data. Nearly 40 percent of them,
1.2 million, were in the top 10 dis-
aster-prone states. The typical
nursing home resident is a woman
in her 80s or older, dealing with
physical and mental limitations
that leave her dependent on others
for help with basic daily activities.
Investigators pursued a two-
track approach. First they looked
at the number of nursing homes
that met federal regulations for
emergency planning and training.
Then they went into the field to
test how solid those plans were, in
a sample of homes drawn from 210
facilities substantially affected by
floods, hurricanes and wildfires
across seven states during 2007-
2010.
On the surface, things appeared
to be in good shape. Ninety-two
percent of the nations 16,000
nursing homes met federal regula-
tions for emergency planning,
while 72 percent met the standards
for emergency training.
A different story emerged when
inspectors showed up at 24 select-
ed nursing homes and started
pulling files and interviewing staff.
The specific facilities in
California, Louisiana, Minnesota,
North Carolina, North Dakota,
Tennessee, and Texas were not
identified in the report. All had
been affected by disasters; 14 had
evacuated and the remainder shel-
tered in place.
A detailed, well-rehearsed emer-
gency plan is a basic requirement
for disaster preparedness. But at
one home, the emergency plan was
in several boxes. At another one, it
was on a legal pad.
Of the 24 emergency plans, 23
did not describe how to handle a
residents illness or death during
an evacuation. Also, 15 had no
information about specific medical
needs of patients, such as feeding
tubes and breathing equipment.
Seven plans were silent on how to
identify residents in an evacuation,
such as by attaching wristbands or
name tags. Inspectors said 15
made no provision for including
medication lists.
None of the nursing homes met a
government recommendation for a
seven-day supply of drinking
water if residents had to shelter in
place and their regular source of
water was unsafe or unavailable.
Twenty-two had no backup plans
to replace staff members unable to
report for work during a disaster.
Transportation was an Achilles
heel. None of the nursing homes
had planned to ensure transporta-
tion of adequate food and water for
evacuated residents, while 19 had
no specific plan for transporting
wheelchairs and similar equip-
ment. Twenty-two of the plans did
not describe how the nursing home
would transport medications.
Seventeen had no specific plan
for working with local emergency
coordinators to decide whether to
evacuate or shelter in place.
Not surprisingly, administrators
and staff from 17 of the nursing
homes told investigators they
faced substantial challenges in
responding to the disasters that hit
their areas. A common problem
was that transportation contracts
were not honored after an evacua-
tion was called. Four nursing
homes that did evacuate said they
had problems trying to keep track
of residents and supplies, in some
cases temporarily losing patients.
The vulnerability of nursing
home patients became a national
issue when 35 residents of St.
Ritas Nursing Home just outside
New Orleans perished during
Katrina. Some drowned in their
beds.
Prosecutors charged the owners
of the facility with negligent homi-
cide, saying they should have
evacuated the home. But a jury
acquitted them of all charges.
Some jurors said afterward that
Louisiana authorities should have
taken responsibility for the safety
of nursing home residents ahead of
the monster storm.
A Houston Chronicle investiga-
tion found that, all told, at least
139 nursing home residents died
during the hurricane or its after-
math.
The top 10 disaster-prone states,
as ranked by historical statistics on
major disaster declarations, are
Texas, California, Oklahoma, New
York, Florida, Louisiana,
Alabama, Kentucky, Arkansas and
Missouri.
Big gaps found innursing homes disaster plans
The typical nursing home resident is a woman in her 80s or older, dealing with physical and mental limitations
that leave her dependent on others for help with basic daily activities.

has been hospitalized since, unable to tell
his side of the story until Foster City
detectives nally had a chance to inter-
view him Friday.
Police would not indicate what the
shooting victim recalled from that night.
Police, however, said that extensive inter-
views with the shooting victims friends
showed that the San Mateo man may have
been so drunk that he mistakenly entered
the wrong home before being shot.
It is apparent he was intoxicated and
there is a distinct possibility that he may
have inadvertently entered the wrong res-
idence, believing it to belong to one of his
companions that evening, according to a
police statement.
The intruder was unarmed, according to
police, and the houseguest, in his 40s and
a resident of Brentwood, was staying at
the home after a family gathering, accord-
ing to police.
The shooting victim was inside the
home, near a kitchen, when the house-
guest opened re, according to police.
The shooter cooperated with investiga-
tors, according to police.
Last week, Foster City police said the
investigation was complete minus the
shooting victims testimony. Police want-
ed to give the man a chance to give a state-
ment before forwarding the case to the
San Mateo County District Attorneys
Ofce.
Before interviewing the shooting vic-
tim, investigators indicated they had a
clear understanding of what took place
based on who weve spoken to so far.
Whether anyone is charged is up to the
District Attorneys Ofce, according to
Foster City police.
In other crime news, Foster City police
still have no suspect in the mysterious
death of 71-year-old Klaus Gachter, found
dead in his Waterbury Lane home Dec. 16.
Police ruled the death a homicide after
nding him lying in a pool of blood and
said it was not a random act of violence.
The investigation into Gachters death
continues, police said yesterday.
Gachter was the rst homicide in Foster
City in six years.

Burlingame. The appeal was against the
eight applications from ExteNet to
attach wireless communication boxes to
existing poles in the public right-of-way
that were previously approved by the
citys Public Works department.
Residents requested the permits be over-
turned arguing there is no gap in service
to address and that ExteNet failed to
meet legal standards to consider alterna-
tives for increasing service.
City ofcials are limited in their abili-
ty to deny such applications, however,
they agreed the proposals did not pro-
vide enough information or acceptable
solutions. As a result, the council unani-
mously directed staff to appeal six of the
eight applications.
Councilman Michael Brownrigg noted
he made that proposal with the knowl-
edge that only two antennas would not
meet the needs of ExteNet but with the
hope there could be a way to nd a solu-
tion. Final resolutions will come back
before the council at a future meeting.
Overall, the council found many prob-
lems with the ExteNet proposal.
I dont think this proposal, as is, is
the least intrusive, said Vice Mayor Ann
Keighran, who noted that is one of the
few areas the city does have power.
Councilwoman Cathy Baylock agreed
adding the proposal doesnt meet the
citys aesthetic requirements.
Councilwoman Terry Nagel was will-
ing to delay the decision in hopes of
nding workable solutions, a number of
which she suggested during the meeting.
We must nd some middle ground to
work within the law between what we
can do and what the residents can
accept, she said.
Brownriggs concern was the cumula-
tive impact of approving the applica-
tions. He said this approval was proba-
bly just the start of meeting the growing
wireless telecommunications need.
Attorney Jamie Hall, representing
ExteNet, said the company was willing
to work with the city but has met all
requirements including evaluating alter-
natives. Also, proving a need is not a
requirement for approval, he said.
Keighran questioned how, in a city of
18,000 trees, alternatives to better hide
the antennas could not be found. Hall
pointed to an alternatives study ExteNet
conducted which resulted in 16 possibil-
ities that were not accepted for a variety
of reasons. At this point, Hall said the
responsibility to provide concrete alter-
natives is on the city. Should those be
provided, ExteNet would consider those.
Nagel pointed out two places where
undergrounding may be an option. Hall
said the company would agree to such a
condition unless it was found unfeasible.
Brownrigg questioned whether or not
allowing the ExteNet applications would
set a precedent. Earlier this year, new
wireless telecommunication rules were
adopted by the city. ExteNet, however, is
under the earlier rules. Brownrigg ques-
tioned if new applicants would point to
this approval as a reason to gain extra
access. City Attorney Gus Guinan did
not believe approving the applications
would set such a precedent. Brownrigg
argued that by holding ExteNet to a
higher standard, however, it would cre-
ate a higher standard as a precedent for
future applications.
In the 33-page appeal, the group said
ExteNet failed to prove a signicant gap
in service in Burlingame. Instead, the
appeal said the permit locations are on
the city limits, addressing service issues
in neighboring Hillsborough. In addi-
tion, the appeal said the company fails to
examine less disruptive alternatives.
In a nine-page response to the appeal,
Public Works Director Syed Murtuza
wrote ExteNet worked with the city to
modify the applications. Two, for exam-
ple, were modied to have the majority
of the equipment underground. Another
two were changed to a different, albeit
nearby, location thought to have less
impact on those in the area.
Wireless communication has been a
hot button issue in Burlingame since last
year when T-Mobile and ExteNet
Systems put in numerous applications to
install antennas in residential areas of
Burlingame to meet the growing need
for cellphone service. Murtuza said the
eight cellphone antenna applications
from ExteNet were approved as well as
10 wire supports, which offer additional
safety.
Residents came out in force to support
the appeal. Many questioned why the
alternative of placing all the improve-
ments underground wasnt examined.
Others noted safety issues with the pro-
posed installations. Many supported the
appeal even if it meant a lawsuit.
Burlingame resident Cheri Jaunich
said if the antennas and support wires
are approved they will be a constant
reminder of why the community should
not support the council in the future
because they are the individuals respon-
sible for representing the public. She
encouraged the council to consider
approving the appeal and facing the pos-
sible lawsuit.
Worst case scenario is we lose a
case, she said, putting the city back in
the situation its currently in. Best case,
well have a better ability to regulate
these going forward. Dont let corpo-
rate bullies scare you.
Community involvement on the topic
began last year when residents requested
a moratorium to study the issue and draft
rules a request the city granted. New
rules developed by the Wireless
Telecommunications Working Group,
which included residents and city of-
cials, were adopted early this year.
The moratorium also covered pending
applications resulting in a lawsuit from
ExteNet claiming the city purposely
delayed the applications. In February,
the two sides were ordered to mediation.
If not resolved, the matter could go
before a judge in September.

APPEAL
By Deepti Hajela
NEW YORK The Associated Press
won a Pulitzer Prize for investigative
journalism Monday for revealing the
New York Police Departments wide-
spread spying on Muslims, while The
Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa., and a
24-year-old reporter captured the award
for local reporting for breaking the Penn
State scandal that ultimately brought
down Joe Paterno.
In a reection of the forces reshaping
the media world, the turmoil-ridden
Philadelphia Inquirer won in the public
service category for exposing pervasive
violence in the citys schools, while
David Wood earned a Pulitzer in nation-
al reporting for a relative newcomer, The
Hufngton Post, for stories about the
suffering endured by American troops
severely wounded in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
It was only the second Pulitzer ever
awarded for reporting that appeared
online only.
Another Pulitzer for investigative
reporting was awarded to The Seattle
Times for a series about accidental
methadone overdoses among patients
with chronic pain.
The New York Times won two prizes.
David Kocieniewski was honored in the
explanatory reporting category for a
series on how wealthy people and corpo-
rations use loopholes to avoid taxes. And
Jeffrey Gettleman received the award for
international reporting for his coverage
of famine and conict in East Africa.
Sig Gissler, administrator of the
prizes, said the winners in this years
96th annual competition show that jour-
nalism is still a vibrant force as a
watchdog for the public.
The APs series of stories available
online at http://apne.ws/IrNyPk
showed how New York police, with the
help of a CIA ofcial, created an aggres-
sive surveillance program to gather
intelligence on Muslim neighborhoods,
businesses and houses of worship. It was
the 50th Pulitzer won by the news organ-
ization.
The articles showed that police sys-
tematically listened in on sermons, hung
out at cafes and other public places,
infiltrated colleges and photographed
people as part of a broad effort to pre-
vent terrorist attacks. Individuals and
groups were monitored even when there
was no evidence they were linked to ter-
rorism.
The series, which began in August,
was by Matt Apuzzo, Adam Goldman,
Eileen Sullivan and Chris Hawley. The
stories prompted protests, a demand
from 34 members of Congress for a fed-
eral investigation, and an internal
inquiry by the CIAs inspector general.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly
and Mayor Michael Bloomberg have
defended the program as a thoroughly
legal tool for keeping the city safe.
