A judge who three weeks ago
released a murder suspect awaiting
sentencing for having homemade
weapons in the county jail remand-
ed the Pittsburg man back into cus-
tody yesterday, saying he was incor-
rectly informed about how much
credit Gregory
Leon Elarms
had racked up
while at the
county jail and a
state mental hos-
pital.
Last week,
Judge Craig
Parson had
ordered Elarms, 60, back to court
Tuesday morning without explana-
tion to attorneys. After Parsons
announced his change of heart,
Elarms, who had been free since
Feb. 5, was immediately handcuffed
and returned to Maguire
Correctional Facility.
Parson said he was given inaccu-
rate information by defense attorney
Jonathan McDougall that Elarms
had earned near or enough credit
against his potential four-year sen-
tence on three weapons charges.
When given recalculated figures
from the Probation Department,
Parsons reversed his earlier ruling,
said prosecutor Ivan Nightengale.
McDougall did not return a call
for comment.
Nightengale had opposed Elarms
release on his own recognizance out
of concern for public safety and his
belief the man still had time remain-
ing. Elarms, who is the main sus-
pect in the murder of East Palo Alto
activist David Lewis at a San Mateo
shopping center, is paranoid,
allegedly threatened his son and

Hoping to bring a select-service
hotel with meeting space to San
Bruno, the City Council gave the
go-ahead to start negotiating exclu-
sively with a developer interested in
building a Marriott Springhill
Suites.
On Tuesday, the San Bruno City
Council unanimously directed staff
to move forward with negotiating
exclusive development rights with
South Carolina-based OTO
Development to build a 131-room
hotel with 3,000 square feet of
meeting space. Once completed, the
lifestyle hotel will be built as the last
part of the Crossing development.
Last year, the city purchased the
vacant lot south of Jacks
Restaurant, 1050 Admiral Court,
and north of Interstate 380 to ensure
it was developed in a way that bene-
ts the city.
Negotiations will allow the city
and developer to work out the spe-

A plan to require sewer lateral
inspections and repairs for a home

about three hours last night by the
Belmont City Council before it
decided it needed more time to
make its mind up on the proposed

The council is looking to prevent
inll and inltration of the citys
aging sewer system and to protect
the consumer from any unforeseen
problems when buying a home in
Belmont but could not decide on
how best to do both last night.

Coupa grew during the down

The defense for a man accused of fatally
beating an elderly Belmont man rested with-
out calling any witnesses and the jury in his
murder trial is expected to begin deliberations
today on the charges that could send him to
prison for life without parole.
Jim Thompson, defense attorney for Tyler
James Hutchinson, asked the court on
Monday to stipulate that victim Albert Korn,
88, had fallen a year before the murder and
was dizzy after striking his head. Thompson
then rested his case, providing a sharp contrast
to the prosecution which has spent the past
weeks calling dozens of witnesses to detail the
last time they saw Korn and whether his
injuries and death are consistent with a beat-
ing. The prosecution contends Hutchinson
beat Korn June 2, 2009 after breaking into his
home but the defense
appears poised to contend
Korns death may have
another cause.
Both sides will present
closing arguments this
morning after which jurors
will retire to begin deliber-
ations. Hutchinson, 25, is
charged with rst-degree
murder, robbery and the
special allegation of mur-
der during the commission of another felony.
He has pleaded not guilty.
Korn reportedly encountered Hutchinson
after the Belmont mans son left him to
retrieve goods at a home improvement store
and his wife left for the Peninsula Jewish
Community Center. Korns son found the
bleeding and beaten man in the kitchen and,
while conscious at the time, his father died
two weeks later after being removed from life
support. Hutchinson had allegedly ed the
scene with Korns Jaguar, wallet and jewelry
but was arrested after similar home invasion
robberies in West Sacramento following the
fatal encounter with Korn. After being con-
victed in those crimes, Hutchinson was sen-
tenced to prison for six years and eight
months and returned to San Mateo County.
In April 2011, before coming to trial,
Hutchinson was hospitalized at Napa State
Hospital as mentally incompetent but later
deemed restored. Thompson, who did not
present an opening statement, discounted a
psychiatric defense during pretrial motions.
Hutchinsons mental tness was one factor
in prosecutors opting not to seek the death
penalty. Another was his relative lack of seri-
ous criminal history and questions about his
mental tness.
Hutchinson remains in custody without bail.
Defense rests in fatal beating

anticipates it will begin generating approx-
imately $3 million in annual revenue in

The San Carlos City Council unani-
mously agreed at its Monday meeting to
direct staff to begin negotiating with
Redwood City for a fully consolidated
shared fire service model. The two cities
already have a hybrid department but the
staff recommendation is for Redwood City
to absorb the bulk of San Carlos depart-
ment. San Carlos would retain ownership
and maintenance of its fire stations and
stock like the fire engines, said City
Manager Jeff Maltbie.
Councilman Bob Grassilli called the
recommendation an excellent idea.
George L. Spillane
George L. Spillane, 78, died in Redwood
City Feb. 23, 2013.
Mr. Spillane, born in
Nashua, N.H., was the
youngest of three sons of
the late John L. and Mary
V. (Kelley) Spillane.
Mr. Spillane had a dis-
tinguished career as a
finance executive in the
t e l e c o mmu n i c a t i o n s
industry, the majority of
which was spent as chief financial officer of
California Microwave, Inc.
He earned a bachelors degree in history
and government from Boston College in
1956, served in the U.S. Army and, there-
after, attended the University of California
Berkeley for a masters degree in business
administration.
Above all, Mr. Spillane loved his family.
His greatest joy was laughing with his wife
and children and sharing a good story, a long
hike or a three-hour lunch.
Mr. Spillane is survived by his wife of 48
years, Ann (Kielty); four sons, Matthew
Kielty Spillane, Timothy John Spillane,
Daniel Christopher Spillane and Douglas
Kelley Spillane; a daughter, Kathleen
Patricia Spillane; and 15 grandchildren.
A funeral mass will be held 1 p.m. Friday,
March 1 at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church,
300 Fulton St., Redwood City.
The family is grateful for any contribu-
tions in his memory, particularly to the
American Cancer Society, Our Lady of Mt.
Carmel Parish, or to a favorite charity.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A 29-year-old Belmont parolee accused of
assaulting and holding his girlfriend in their
home and ghting ofcers who responded to
her call for help was sentenced yesterday to
four years on charges of felony domestic vio-
lence and misdemeanor resisting arrest.
Muhammad Akmed Harron Magbool Jr.,
29, also admitted having a prior criminal
strike which doubled his base sentence. He
was originally charged
with other counts of false
imprisonment, vandalism
and battery but those were
dropped as part of the
negotiated settlement.
Belmont police arrested
Magbool in early
November after receiving
an early-morning call
from a woman claiming
her boyfriend assaulted her during an argu-
ment around midnight and wouldnt let her
leave their residence on the 1000 block of Old
County Road. When officers contacted
Magbool, who was in front of the residence,
he allegedly tried eeing and fought them.
Once inside the patrol car, prosecutors say
Magbool kicked out the side window.
Magbool has been in custody on $500,000
bail and a no-bail parole hold. He was previ-
ously convicted of robbery.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO California ofcials are
using a standard bidding process for their plan
to speed construction of the states $68 billion
high-speed rail line, but there are still out-
standing questions about the inspection
process that the Legislature should investigate,
lawmakers heard Tuesday at a hearing on the
plan.
Tuesdays joint Senate hearing was billed as
an opportunity to safeguard the publics inter-
est as lawmakers evaluate whether the agency
charged with building the nations rst bullet
train has addressed a series of organizational
problems, including whether it has sufcient
staff and expertise to handle the project.
The independent Legislative Analysts
Ofce outlined questioned lawmakers may
wish to ask, including whether the California
High-Speed Rail Authority will retain the
ability to independently inspect construction
in the manner of its choosing.
The Associated Press reported last month
that a union representing state engineers ques-
tioned whether the project would have suf-
cient independent inspection, since the rm
being hired to design and build the rst phase
would hire the inspectors who test the work on
it, which the union said could be a conict of
interest.
There is no nal quality program and no
independent inspection process yet, policy
analyst Brian Weatherford told lawmakers.
The extent to which there is a truly inde-
pendent and direct inspection of the design
builders work is unclear.
Contractors submitted bids last month to
design and build the rst 30-mile stretch of
track for the bullet train, a section that is
expected to cost $1.8 billion. The rst full seg-
ment of the system will run from Madera to
Bakerseld, but the project eventually is sup-
posed to link northern and southern California
with trains traveling up to 220 mph.

SACRAMENTO California voters over-
whelmingly favor additional controls on guns
and ammunition, with women far more eager
to regulate rearms than men, according to a
Field Poll released Tuesday.
The survey found that 61 percent of voters
say it is more important to control guns and
ammunition than to protect the rights of gun
owners. Its the biggest margin of support on
that question since the Field Poll began asking
it in 1999.
In addition, more than eight in 10 voters
favor spending more money to conscate guns
from convicted felons. Three-quarters favor
permits and background checks for anyone
buying ammunition.
Roughly 60 percent favor a tax on bullets to
fund violence-prevention programs, outlawing
ammunition magazines that hold more than 10
bullets, and banning ries with detachable
magazines.
Asked whether specially trained teachers
should be allowed to carry concealed weapons
in school, 68 percent said no. That idea was
opposed by 74 percent of women and 60 per-
cent of men.
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks,
who has introduced such a bill in AB202, said
his proposal is widely accepted, particularly
among women, once he explains the concept.
It would create a deterrent effect much like
the air marshals program, because you just
dont know who is armed, he said. You could
have somebody capable of responding within
30 seconds to a classroom.
The gender difference was evident through-
out the survey.
Its not that men are opposed to these. In
many cases, theyre on the fence. But these are
being driven by women, Field Poll Director
Mark DiCamillo said.
All the questions were based on bills await-
ing consideration in the state Legislature. More
than 30 bills have been introduced dealing with
restrictions and related measures.
The poll found no difference between the
genders when it came to taking guns from
felons.
Women favored by wide margins taxing
ammunition, outlawing large-capacity maga-
zines and banning ries with detachable mag-
azines, while men were evenly divided on
those questions. Background checks for buy-
ing bullets were favored by 82 percent of
women and 68 percent of men.

SACRAMENTO As Republicans nation-
wide reconsider the partys direction, nowhere
is their challenge more daunting than in
California.
The state that produced Ronald Reagan,
Richard Nixon and the Orange County con-
servative has banished the GOP to the mar-
gins, with the party now accounting for less
than 30 percent of all registered voters.
The decades-long slide became painfully
apparent following last falls election, when
Republicans lost four congressional seats and
Democrats captured supermajorities in both
houses of the California Legislature. Latinos,
Asians, women and younger voters who make
up the bulk of the states electorate all turned
away from a party that is seen as driven by
conservatives who are out
of touch with their views.
In an attempt to restore
their party to relevance,
Republican delegates are
expected to elect as their
new chairman this week-
end a former state law-
maker who is widely seen
as a pragmatist and a
political moderate.
But its far from clear whether the former
state senator, Jim Brulte, or anyone else can
turn around the partys political fortunes. Even
the partys ofcial platform seems a better t
for socially conservative Arkansas than
California. It pledges opposition to gay mar-
riage, alternative lifestyles, abortion and
universal health care, while supporting efforts
to declare English as the ofcial language of
business.

The San Carlos City Council
passed a ban on single-use bags but
not before Mayor Matt Grocott ques-
tioned the data claiming that plastic is
a signicant litter contributor, argued
the mandate is unconstitutional and
worried about the health risks of
reusable sacks.
To me, were attacking the wrong
thing, Grocott said according to a
recording of Monday nights council
meeting.
Grocott said the environmental
benets of eliminating plastic bags at
retailers is diminished by people buy-
ing other bags to line garbage cans
an argument that did not sit well with
Dean Peterson, director of environ-
mental health for San Mateo County.
Peterson, who helped craft the coun-
ty ordinance which cities are using as
a template, said he only needs to
wrap his garbage can in newspaper
because his recycling habits mean he
never has wet waste. Grocott suggest-
ed Peterson teach
residents to do so
because he didnt
think all would
follow suit.
Id be happy
to, Peterson
said.
The bickering
during the public
hearing extended
beyond Grocott
and Peterson. Councilman Bob
Grassilli grew impatient as Grocott
asked numerous questions about the
ban itself, what other counties have
done and if the 10-cent price charged
to consumers who want bags is con-
sidered a fee or a tax. Comparisons to
a bottle deposit are unfair because
consumers can get that money back,
Grocott said.
These are valid questions but
couldnt you just say youre against
this and move on? Youre making
more statements than youre asking
questions, Grassilli said.
Grassilli also asked his fellow
councilmembers not to respond
because they just need to get over
this and move on to other agenda
items.
I really appreciate your respect for
my asking these questions, Grocott
said.
Grocott showed the council several
photographs of trash namely
Starbucks cups, other beverage con-
tainers and cigarette butts he
encountered while walking through
Wheeler Plaza. Specically, Grocott
said he counted 154 cigarette butts in
one direction and 176 on the way
home.
What Im seeing is not plastic
bags. What Im seeing is containers
and cigarettes, he said as an argu-
ment against the claim plastic bags
are the primary contributor to
clogged storm drains and litter-
strewn streets.
Grocott suggested the city instead
require bags to be compostable but
Peterson said they wouldnt degrade
inside a facility within the 180 days
required.
Ultimately, the council voted 4-1
with Grocott dissenting to begin the
ban July 1. Councilwoman Karen
Clapper suggested moving the date to
April 22 to coincide with Earth Day
and the start of other cities ordinance
but the others were hesitant not to
give retailer less time to use up their
existing bag stock.
The ordinance, like that enacted by
the county and several cities, allows
patrons without reusable bags to
request a single-use paper version
from retailers for the price of rst a
dime and, after Jan. 1, 2015, a quar-
ter. Retailers can voluntarily choose
to give free bags to food stamp and
WIC participants.
Bags without handles for medicine
or to segregate food that might con-
taminate are exempt as are nonprots
such as Goodwill. Restaurants can
still send food in to-go bags as public
health ofcials havent yet ruled out
the possibility of reusable bags lead-
ing to cross-contamination.
Grocott raised that concern at
Monday nights meeting but Peterson
downplayed any signicant public
safety risk.

No good deed goes unpunished.
For Redwood City garbage cus-
tomers, their increase in recycling is
one factor in a 3 percent rate increase
approved by the City Council
Monday night. The council which
unanimously agreed, with
Councilwoman Rosanne Foust
abstaining, to the hike after receiving
only 22 protest letters said it needs
to collect $18,055,164 in rates for the
estimated 2013 cost of service. City
ofcials cited higher disposal and
processing costs because of increased
tonnage and tipping fees; more
money due to provider Recology for
exceeding recycling targets; more
customers since 2011; and employee
wage and benet increases. The city
also pointed to increases in fuel and
operating costs.
Despite its role in overall costs, the
City Council lauded the citys recy-
cling efforts and encouraged more as a
way to stave off landll Ox Mountain
from hitting capacity in 2027.
The more people can do to recycle
and throw away less will help all of
us in the future, Councilwoman
Barbara Pierce said in a video of the
councils Monday meeting.
The change translates into an extra
79 cents per month per cart for those
with a 32-gallon cart and 33 cents per
month per cart for 20-gallon cus-
tomers. A 3.25 percent increase also
affects other unscheduled services
like extra pickups, overages, dirty
cart replacement and collecting of
contaminated recyclables. The new
rate became effective Tuesday.
Besides just covering costs,
Community Development Director
Bill Ekern said it will create a reserve
fund for the solid waste fund so if we
ever hit any bumps in the future we
have some protection as a city.
This years rate is less than half the
2012 increase. The Redwood City
Council unanimously increased rates
by 7.2 percent, just below the origi-
nally proposed 7.81 percent increase,
after the council passed on a new
curbside hazardous waste collection
service. The city has not been receiv-
ing many complaints about its
garbage service so thats pretty pos-
itive, said Councilman Jeff Ira.
The goal, Ira said, is to stabilize the
costs which in turn will stabilize the
rates. Peninsula cities are setting
garbage rates using an antiquated
system based solely on garbage col-
lection that does not factor in new
services like recycling and green
waste, he said.
Ira said the citys utility committee
is trying to get information and
analysis about the process before
next years anticipated rate increase
decision because my gut instinct
says we dont have a great plan for
setting rates.

Report of boat
sinking may be hoax
SANTA CRUZ The Pacific
Ocean either swallowed an adven-
turous couple and two young chil-
dren aboard a sailboat off the
Monterey coast this week, or some-
one played a cruel hoax that wasted
Coast Guard resources and tugged at
the hearts of coastal residents over
two days of desperate searching.
The Coast Guard on Tuesday
called off the search for a boat that
reportedly sank in rough seas far off
the Central California coast, saying
nothing more could be done and that
the familys distress calls might
have been a hoax.
Weve exhausted the possibili-
ties, Coast Guard Chief Petty
Ofcer Mike Lutz said. The Coast
Guard is treating the incident as a
rescue, with the possibility the calls
came from a trickster. Neither the
family nor the boat has been report-
ed missing.
Crews started looking for the fam-
ily by sea and air after receiving
their rst distress call Sunday after-
noon, when the boaters said their
29-foot sailboat was taking on water
and their electronics were failing.
The 42-hour search involved hun-
dreds of rescuers from the Coast
Guard and the California Air
National Guard.
Two Santa Cruz
police officers shot dead
SANTA CRUZ Authorities say
two police ofcers have been killed
in a shooting in Santa Cruz.
Santa Cruz County Sheriff Phil
Wowak has conrmed that the of-
cers died after the shooting occurred
around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The Santa Cruz Sentinel reports
that the rst of two shootings took
place as police were investigating a
sexual assault. A suspect red, hit-
ting the two ofcers.
The newspaper says a third person
was shot while police were in pur-
suit of the shooter. Authorities say
that person also died.

LUXOR, Egypt The terror last-
ed less than two minutes: Smoke
poured from a hot air balloon carry-
ing sightseers on a sunrise ight
over the ancient city of Luxor, it
burst in a ash of ame and then
plummeted about 1,000 feet to
earth. A farmer watched helplessly
as tourists trying to escape the blaz-
ing gondola leaped to their deaths.
Nineteen people were killed
Tuesday in what appeared to be the
deadliest hot air ballooning accident
on record. A British tourist and the
Egyptian pilot, who was badly
burned, were the sole survivors.
The tragedy raised worries of
another blow to the nations vital
tourism industry, decimated by two
years of unrest since the 2011 revo-
lution that toppled autocrat Hosni
Mubarak. The southern city of
Luxor has been hit hard, with vacant
hotel rooms and empty cruise ships.
It also prompted accusations that
authorities have let safety standards
decline amid the political turmoil
and inghting, although civil avia-
tion ofcials said the balloon had
been inspected recently and that the
pilot may have been to blame, jump-
ing out rather than stopping the re.
Authorities suspended hot air bal-
loon ights, a popular tourist attrac-
tion here, while investigators deter-
mined the cause.
The balloon was carrying 20
tourists from France, Britain,
Belgium, Japan and Hong Kong
and an Egyptian pilot on a ight
over Luxor, 320 miles south of
Cairo, ofcials said.

WASHINGTON A deeply
divided Senate voted on Tuesday to
conrm Republican Chuck Hagel to
be the nations next defense secre-
tary, handing President Barack
Obamas pick the top Pentagon job
just days before billions of dollars in
automatic, across-the-board budget
cuts hit the military.
The vote was 58-41, with four
Republicans joining the Democrats
in backing the contentious choice.
Hagels only GOP support came
from former colleagues Thad
Cochran of Mississippi, Dick
Shelby of Alabama and Mike
Johanns of Nebraska all three
had announced
their support
earlier and
Rand Paul of
Kentucky.
The vote came
just hours after
Re p u b l i c a n s
dropped their
unprecedented
delay of a
Pentagon choice and allowed the
nomination to move forward on a
71-27 vote.
Hagel, 66, a former two-term
Nebraska senator and twice-wound-
ed Vietnam combat veteran, suc-
ceeds Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta. Hagel is expected to be
sworn in at the Pentagon on
Wednesday.
Obama welcomed the bipartisan
Senate vote, although 41
Republicans opposed his nominee,
and said in a statement that we will
have the defense secretary our
nation needs and the leader our
troops deserve.
The looked past the divisions and
said he was grateful to Hagel for
reminding us that when it comes to
our national defense, we are not
Democrats or Republicans, we are
Americans, and our greatest respon-
sibility is the security of the
American people.
Republicans had opposed their
onetime colleague, casting him as
unqualified for the job, hostile
toward Israel and soft on Iran.

WASHINGTON The Supreme
Court on Tuesday struggled with
what one of the justices called its
most important criminal procedure
case in decades, whether to let
police take DNA without a warrant
from those arrested in hopes of
using it to solve old cases.
Justices seemed conicted over
whether police have a right to take
genetic information from people
who have only been arrested with-
out getting a judges approval rst,
or if the governments interest in
solving cold cases trumped the
immediate privacy rights of those
under police suspicion of other
crimes.
One justice seemed to make clear
what he thought. I think this is per-
haps the most important criminal
procedure case that this court has
heard in decades, said Justice
Samuel Alito, a former prosecutor.
This is what is at stake: Lots of
murders, lots of rapes that can be
solved using this new technology
that involves a very minimal intru-
sion on personal privacy, Alito said
later.

Bipartisan agreement on
need for more farm workers
WASHINGTON Republicans
and Democrats said Tuesday that
farmers should be allowed to hire
foreign workers more easily as
Congress reworks U.S. immigration
laws. But there was some disagree-
ment on how it should happen.
Lawmakers and witnesses at a
House Judiciary subcommittee hear-
ing said the visa program that lets
farmers hire foreign agricultural
workers is so unwieldy it accounts
for only a very small percentage of
the hundreds of thousands of farm
workers hired in the U.S. Half or
more of agriculture workers are here
illegally, experts agree.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama and his ofcials are
doing their best to drum up public
concern over the shock wave of
spending cuts that could strike the
government in just days. So its a
good time to be alert for sky-is-
falling hype.
Administration ofcials are com-
ing forward with a grim compendi-
um of jobs to be lost, services to be
denied or delayed, military defenses
to be let down and important opera-
tions to be disrupted. Obamas new
chief of staff, Denis McDonough,
spoke of a devastating list of horri-
bles.
For most Americans, though, its
far from certain they will have a ter-
rible, horrible, no good, very bad
day if the budget-shredder known as
the sequester comes to pass. Maybe
they will, if the impasse drags on for
months.
For now, theres a whiff of the
familiar in all the foreboding, hark-
ing back to the mid-1990s partial
government shutdown, when of-
cials said old people would go hun-
gry, illegal immigrants would have
the run of the of the land and veter-
ans would go without meds. It did-
nt happen.
For this episode, provisions are in
place to preserve the most crucial
services and benefit checks.
Furloughs of federal workers are at
least a month away, breathing room
for a political settlement if the will
to achieve one is found. Many gov-
ernment contractors would continue
to be paid with money previously
approved.
A dubious list of budget horribles
Americas leaders have
threatened to shut the
government down,drive it over
a cliff and bounce it off the
ceiling. Now theyre ready to
smack it with a sequester.And
it sounds like they mean it this
time.
If no one backs down, big cuts
in federal spending begin
Friday. Should Americans be
worried?
A primer on the nations latest
scal standoff how we got
here, who could get hurt and
possible ways to end this thing:
What, again?
Like life in a bad Road Runner
cartoon, the United States has
survived the New Years scal
cliff, double rounds of debt-
ceiling roulette and various
budget blow-ups over the past
twoyears.Nowthethreat is $85
billion in indiscriminate
spending cuts that would hit
most federal programs and fall
hardest on the military.
By law,these cuts known as the
sequesterwill beginunfolding
automatically at weeks end
unless President Barack Obama
and Congress act to stop them.
Why did they agree to a law like
that? In hopes of nally getting
the nations trillion-dollar-plus
annual budget decits under
control.
Isnt decit-cuttinggood?
Obama, nearly all of Congress
and plenty of economists say
two things:
1) The budget decit needs to
be reduced.
2) The sequester is the wrong
way to do it.
Only a fool would do it this
way,says Paul Light, a budget
expert at New York University.
Primordial. Its beyond belief.
It makes him think of the movie
Dr. Strangelove, with Slim
Pickens riding bronco on an
atomic bomb, waving his
cowboy hat.
The sequester was designed to
land with a mighty splat to
create such a mess if allowed to
occur that lawmakerswoulddo
the right and honorable thing
and negotiate a measured,
meaningful and discerning
package of decit reduction to
head it off. But that didnt
happen, so the sequester is
about to.
And, yes, that should mean
progress on the nations debt.
The sequester is one of several
developments expected to
restrainthenationsredinkafter
four straight years of decits
topping $1 trillion.
Yee-haw.
Arethecuts reallythat bad?
Its unlikely they will be as bad
or at least as immediate
as some overexcited members
of the Obama administration
have made out. But the cuts
have the potential to be
signicant if the standoff drags
on.
Early on, about 2 million long-
term unemployed people
could see a $30 cut in benet
checks now averaging $300 a
week. Federal subsidies for
school construction, clean
energy and state and local
public works projects could be
pinched.Low-incomepregnant
women and new mothers may
ndit harder tosignupfor food
aid.
Much depends on how states
and communities manage any
shortfalls in aid from
Washington.
Furloughsof federal employees
are for the most part a month
or more away.Then,they might
have to take up to a day off per
week without pay.
Thats when the public could
start seeing delays at airports,
disruptions in meat inspection,
fewer services at national parks
and the like.
An impasse lasting into the fall
would reach farther, probably
shrinking Head Start slots, for
example.
Much of the federal budget is
off-limits to the automatic cuts.
Among exempted programs:
Social Security, Medicaid, food
stamps, Pell Grants and
veterans programs.
Even so, ofcials warn of a
hollowed-out military
capability,compromisedborder
security and spreading
deterioration of public services
if the sequester continues. Its
like a rolling ball, said
Homeland Security Secretary
Janet Napolitano. It keeps
growing.
Maybeitsscal-crisisfatigue.
Americansareyawningthisone
off. Only 27 percent of those
surveyed for a Pew Research
Center/USA Today poll last
week said they had heard a lot
about the looming automatic
spending cuts.
Less than a third think the
budget cuts would deeply
affect their own nancial
situation, according to a
Washington Post poll. Sixty
percent, however, believe the
cuts would have a major effect
on the U.S. economy.
Thats what economists and
business people are nervous
about.
The political standoff is the
factor that economists blame
most for the slowing economy,
according to the latest
Associated Press Economic
Survey. The uncertainty is
causingbusinessestoholdback
on investment and hiring, and
its making consumers less
condent about spending,
economists warn.
Howdidit cometothis?
Obama and congressional
Republicans have been
deadlocked over spending
since the GOP won control of
the House in 2010, with a big
boost from tea party activists
whochampionlower taxes and
an end to red-ink budgets.
House Republicans refused to
raise the nations borrowing
limit in 2011 without major
decit cuts. To resolve the
stalemate,Congresspassedand
Obama signed the Budget
Control Act, which temporarily
allowed borrowing to resume,
set spending caps and created
a bipartisan supercommittee
to recommend at least $1.2
trillion in decit reduction over
10 years. Republicans and
Democrats on the committee
failed to compromise,however.
That triggered the laws
doomsday scenario the so-
called scal cliff package of
across-the-board tax increases
and spending cuts.
InaNewYearsEvedeal,Obama
and Congress agreed to raise
taxes on some of the nations
wealthiest earners. And they
postponed the spending cuts
for two months until Friday.
That was supposed to buy time
to cut a deal.
Nosurrender?
As the days melt into hours,
neither side shows sign of
blinkingor evennegotiating.
Obama insists on a blend of
targeted spending cuts and tax
increases. Republican leaders
reject any more tax increases
and say the savings must come
from spending cuts.
While both sides talk about
reducing the decit, Obama
and other Democrats say this
must be done gradually, to
avoid wounding an already
weak economy.
The president is taking his case
to the people, blasting
Republicans at campaign-style
events. GOP leaders, just back
from a congressional vacation
themselves, are publicly
grousingthat Obamashouldbe
bargaining with them, not
grand-standing.
Is thereawayout?
Expect intense negotiations to
begin in Washington if enough
Americans begin yelping
about the pain from reduced
federal spending.
Obama and Congress could
agree to pare down the
budget cuts to a more logical
package of reductions,
perhaps with some tax
changes, too. Such a deal could
also retroactively restore
spending where they want to.
The sequester isnt the only
line in the sand, however.
On March 27, legislation that
has been temporarily nancing
the government expires.
Without agreement to extend
it, the threat of a government
shutdown looms again. Later
in the spring, it will be time to
raise the nations debt limit
again.
So far, two years of budget
crises have been settled with
quick xes. They have barely
dented the underlying
disagreement over how to
reform Medicare, Social
Security, taxes and spendingto
address the nations long-term
decit problem.

WASHINGTON A week
before mandatory budget cuts go
into effect across the government,
the Department of Homeland
Security has started releasing illegal
immigrants being held in immigra-
tion jails across the country,
Immigration and Customs
Enforcement said Tuesday.
Gillian Christensen, an ICE
spokeswoman, said ICE has
reviewed several hundred cases of
immigrants being held in jails
around the country and released
them in the last week. They have
been placed on an appropriate,
more cost-effective form of super-
vised release, she said.
Christensen said the agencys
priority for detention remains on
serious criminal offenders and other
individuals who pose a signicant
threat to public safety. She did not
say how released immigrants were
selected or what jails they were
released from.
Tuesdays announcement of jail
releases is the rst tangible impact
of the looming budget cuts for DHS.
The Obama administration has
been issuing dire warnings about
the impact of the sequestration and
DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano
told reporters at the White House
Monday that across-the-board cuts
would impact the departments
core operations, including border

ations.

Cuts for the poor the facts
Editor,
In his letter in the Feb. 23-24 edition
of the Daily Journal, Mr. Rudow lays
out a series of dire cuts that will result
from the sequestration, or the auto-
matic $85 billion in spending cuts slat-
ed to take effect Match 1, unless
Congress reaches a deal. He lists a long
series of horrible results: 125,000 peo-
ple will lose Section 8 housing,
100,000 homeless will not receive the
help that they need, 70,000 kids will be
denied access to Head Start and so on.
Mr. Rudow is parroting nonsense.
The real facts are these. That $85 bil-
lion in cuts comes out of a total 2013
budget of $3.803 trillion, or 2.2 per-
cent. With half of that coming from
defense the discretionary budget
needs to absorb only 1.1 percent of the
cuts. Wait. Spending in 2013 assum-
ing the sequestration happens will
exceed the 2012 budget by $15 billion.
So, Mr. Rudows stated horrible results
are ridiculous. How could an increase
in discretionary spending for 2013 over
2012, assuming the sequestration hap-
pens, be so tragic for all these poor,
unemployed, sick and children? It
cant. It simply cant.
The wolf at the door is not sequestra-
tion, but the fact that we are borrowing
46 cents of every dollar we spend. At
some point, Mr. Rudows hyperbole
will be a gross understatement when
we are forced to stop burdening our
children and our childrens children
with our excessive spending.

Sequester debate
Editor,
The current debate over sequestration
is another stark example of how and
why real change in our country must
come from the bottom up rather than
the top down. Thinking Americans
throughout the land have good, honest,
common sense ideas about how to
resolve the budget decit as well as
how to deal with the pressing problems
of gun control, immigration and afford-
able health care.
In contrast, an alarming number of
our legislators in Congress on both
sides of the aisle are locked into a
political template and offer no more
than a knee-jerk reaction to any issue
that does not conform to their pre-con-
ceived, partisan views. It is long past
time for responsible Americans to
advocate for what is good for the coun-
try; and call out all the deadwood in
Congress who believe that rigid party
politics is more important that moving
our country forward.

E
arlier this month, the San
Mateo County Board of
Supervisors passed a whistle-
blowing ordinance, ofcially called the
internal controls/fraud prevention initia-
tive. It establishes a web-based hotline
and new ethics curriculum for San
Mateo County employees with the goal
of restoring some of the publics faith
in local government, particularly local
districts, that has been tarnished by
recent incidents of nancial fraud and
abuse. When the ordinance passed, we
applauded the boards decision and said
it was a good rst step in that it also
expands Controllers Ofce software to
identify unusual nancial activities and
creates a way for workers to anony-
mously report questionable practices.
We strongly believe it is a policy that
should be adopted by other governmen-
tal agencies in the county particular-
ly those that have been the victim of
fraud.
While embezzlement and fraud are
serious issues, the recent felony child
possession charges against former chief
probation ofcer Stuart Forrest are even
more so. If true, these crimes are about
as red as red ags get. They are a
strong indication of the need for an
expansion of this policy to move
beyond nancial impropriety. Forrest,
who retired after federal ofcials raided
his ofce in December, led a key
department in the county government
that is going through signicant change
because of state realignment.
If true, the allegations that he pos-
sessed child pornography in a position
that oversees incarcerated children is
certainly alarming on many different
levels. Might it be possible that there
was other behavior in the past that may
have indicated questionable judgment
or a proclivity to these alleged crimes?
If yes, a whistleblowing policy would
have assisted in alerting those who
could do something about it.
Since he was in a position of power,
it may be difcult for someone in his
department to sound the alarm and raise
a red ag. By expanding the new
whistleblower policy to include other
concerns outside of nancial wrongdo-
ing, the county can take a strong stand
in protecting itself from questionable
behavior from the top of all depart-
ments to the bottom. The Probation
Department has had its share of trou-
bles over the years, whether it be
escapes from its juvenile facilities or
lawsuits over its employment practices.
We believe strongly in the concept of
innocence until guilt is proven, and we
look forward to seeing justice take its
course in Forrests court case. A jury
will make a decision on his innocence
or guilt. But these allegations are tow-
ering in their seriousness. Whether
Forrest is guilty or innocent, there
needs to be some additional precautions
installed so that all workers with suspi-
cions can alert the proper authorities.
Most everyone can agree that the coun-
ty is well run and that even well-run
organizations particularly of a large
size can fall victim to rotten individ-
uals. However, over the years, there
have been instances of questionable
behavior in more than one of the coun-
tys top ofces.
If the county sees t to remove the
tarnish of recent instances of nancial
impropriety in special districts and even
its own organization through a whistle-
blower policy, it should also expand
that to include other types of impropri-
eties. And county ofcials can take it
even further to include an independent
oversight ofcial or commission with
the proper authority to make stern rec-
ommendations and changes based on
any disclosures derived from it.
Whistleblowing policy needs expansion
Mind matters
C
ome over to my side of the argument. The view is
so clear from here. Ashleigh Brilliant.
When I read the Feb. 17 edition of the Mercury News
(San Mateo County version), I was amazed how many
news items and editorials seemed to blend together and
could be included under the heading of one in particular
Project would see how brain works. This article refers to
a comprehensive government and privately funded scientif-
ic project that hopes to gain greater insights into percep-
tion, actions and, ultimately consciousness ... a way to
develop the technology essential to understanding diseases
like Alzheimers and Parkinsons, as well as finding new
therapies for a variety of
mental illnesses.
Yes, and please do some
studies to find out just what
kinds of brains occupy the
space in the heads of those
involved in several other
newsworthy stories in that
newspaper that day.
Consider, for instance, the
editorial, Gutless FDA
refuses to act on antibiotics.
Now what would cause a
persons brain to become so
sclerotic that he can be a
member of one of our impor-
tant government agencies and let the corporate interests
determine its decisions decisions that will have a nega-
tive impact on the health of Americans for many years to
come? It has been known for some time that feeding antibi-
otics to promote faster weight gain in the animals that are
slaughtered only benefits the meat and pharmaceutical
industries. Never mind that the practice causes, among
other things, an increased chance for children especially to
become resistant to antibiotics needed to counteract infec-
tion. But, as happens so often, industry is calling the shots.
It would also be very helpful if they could get some
insight as to why there seems to be so many more psy-
chopaths like paranoid schizophrenics who are popping off
their firearms every day (in this issue of the paper its about
Pistorius) in some part of the country and perpetrating
hideous and egregious murders and other havoc. Seems
they are often young men who have serious mental prob-
lems that are often untreated. We need to know why this is
happening so often and what can be done about it.
Next consider the continuing standoff between the
Republicans and Democrats in Congress when it comes to
federal budget cuts. Impact of cuts could be severe
shouts the newspaper on the front page. It would be inter-
esting to learn what makes so many politicians so bound
and determined to stand by their principles (meaning,
dont increase taxes on the wealthy) to the detriment of a
great many citizens of this country. Did they come into this
world with some kind of brain aberration that distorted
their reasoning or was it how they were raised by the peo-
ple they lived with that hardened their hearts? No empathy,
no compassion only a mind firmly closed to anything
but their rigid fixation. There has to be a lot we dont know
about this.
Included in this list has to be the opinion of the guy
whose outlook is related to that of those mentioned above
Lowering math standards will short-change our chil-
dren. He just doesnt get the reason why the state board of
education has finally given those students who struggle
desperately with algebra in eighth grade a chance to take
another math class that offers the insight they need to
become a bit more adept at such computation. Apparently,
it doesnt register that this just might help decrease the
number of dropouts from high school but he just focuses on
his one and only perspective.
Last is a real kicker. Study shows educational TV has
positive affect. Seems a comprehensive study was done to
teach parents to switch channels from violent shows.
Duh! We are told that this may help young children
avoid aggressive, violent behavior. One parent comment-
ed, I didnt realize how much Elizabeth was watching and
how much she was watching on her own. Really? Hard to
fathom! You cant help but wonder how this mothers brain
works. Too busy, or what, to monitor her daughters televi-
sion watching? Oh, I forgot. She didnt realize.
These are the kinds of connections that people like me
with inquiring minds (some say opinionated and addled)
notice when reading the newspaper. (Maybe a study needs
to be done on that!) You cant help but wonder if there is
any hope that anything will improve in the future. If the
scientists who call their project the Brain Activity Map
obtain government approval for funding, they have their
work cut out for them. Wish them luck!
I may accept every point of your argument but will
never agree with your inescapable conclusion. Ashleigh
Brilliant.

By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK A jump in home sales
and strong earnings from Home Depot
helped the Dow claw back more than half
of its losses from Monday. Improving
consumer condence also brought back
buyers to the market.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed up 115.96 points, or 0.8 percent,
to 13,900.13. The Dow fell 216 points
the day before, its biggest drop in three
months, on concern that the European
debt crisis may are up again. The index
has moved 100 points or more on four
out of the past ve trading days.
The Standard & Poors 500 index rose
9.09 points, or 0.6 percent, to 1,496.94.
The Nasdaq composite was up 13.40
points, or 0.4 percent, at 3,129.65.
Home Depot, the biggest home
improvement store chain in the country,
jumped $3.64, or 5.7 percent, to $67.56
after reporting that its income rose 32
percent in the latest quarter thanks to
strong U.S. sales and the cleanup that fol-
lowed Superstorm Sandy. That made it
the biggest gainer in the Dow, accounting
for about 28 points, or about a quarter, of
its advance.
Companies on the whole, particularly
U.S. companies, are doing well,
Michael Mussio, a portfolio manager at
FBB Capital, said.
Strong earnings from home improve-
ment companies, such as Home Depot
and Lowes, which reported earnings
Monday that beat Wall Street forecasts,
compounded evidence that the U.S.
housing market is maintaining its recov-
ery, Mussio said. Also Tuesday, the gov-
ernment reported that sales of new homes
jumped 16 percent last month to the
highest level since July 2008.
The report boosted housing compa-
nies, which led the S&P 500 higher.
PulteGroup rose $1.03, or 5.7 percent, to
$19.05, edging out Home Depot as the
biggest gainer in the index. D.R. Horton
advanced 88 cents, or 4.12 percent, to
$22.25 and Lennar Corp. rose $1.35, or
3.7 percent, to $38.01.
The rebounding housing sector has
been an important factor behind a rally
that pushed the Dow above 14,000 last
week, close to its record high close of
14,164 reached in October 2007. The
Dow is still up 6 percent this year, even
after Mondays sell-off. The S&P 500 is
up 5 percent.
Also Tuesday, a measure of consumer
condence rose sharply, reversing three
months of declines, as shoppers began
adjusting to a payroll tax hike last month.
Investors closely watched testimony
by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke. The Fed chairman said that
the automatic government spending cuts
due to take effect Friday would put a
drag on the economy. He urged lawmak-
ers and the White House to replace the
cuts with longer-term policies to reduce
the budget decit.
Investors shouldnt be dissuaded from
buying stocks by any are-up in Europes
economic troubles, says Hans Olsen, a
strategist at Barclays. The strategist says
stocks should have a good year thanks to
earnings growth and a pickup in corpo-
rate dealmaking.
Deals have accelerated sharply in the
last three months and have involved
household names including Heinz, Dell
and American Airlines. Some of the
acquired companies soared 20 percent or
more when the deals are announced.
Its not yet clear how the recent see-
saw in the market will affect investors.
Individual investors have been creeping
back into stocks since the start of this
year, but the swings might yet unnerve
them.
The gyrations worry them, it scares
them, even though the market is up, says
Gabriel Fancher, an adviser at the
Financial Group, a nancial planner.
The market seems out of peoples hands
these days.
Tuesdays good news about the econo-
my in the U.S. helped investors turn their
focus away from Europe.
While U.S. market rose, European
markets fell again as investors worried
about Italys political situation.

Big movers

WASHINGTON Internet users who ille-
gally share music, movies or TV shows online
may soon get warning notices from their serv-
ice providers that they are violating copyright
law. Ignore the notices, and violators could
face an Internet slow-down for 48 hours.
Those who claim theyre innocent can protest
for a fee.
For the rst time since a spate of aggressive
and unpopular lawsuits almost a decade ago,
the music and movie industries are going after
Internet users they accuse of swapping copy-
righted les online. But unlike the lawsuits
from the mid-2000s which swept up every-
one from young kids to the elderly with some-
times ruinous nancial penalties and court
costs the latest effort is aimed at educating
casual Internet pirates and convincing them to
stop. There are multiple chances to make
amends and no immediate legal consequences
under the program if they dont.
Theres a bunch of questions that need to
be answered because there are ways that this
could end up causing problems for Internet
users, such as the bureaucratic headache of
being falsely accused, said David Sohn, gen-
eral counsel for the Center for Democracy and
Technology, a Washington-based civil liber-
ties group. But he added: Theres also the
potential for this to have an impact in reduc-
ing piracy in ways that dont carry a lot of col-
lateral damage.
The Copyright Alert System was put into
effect this week by the nations ve biggest
Internet service providers Verizon, AT&T,
Time Warner Cable, Comcast and Cablevision
and the two major associations represent-
ing industry the Motion Picture
Association of America and the Recording
Industry Association of America.
Under the new program, the industry will
monitor peer-to-peer software services for
evidence of copyrighted les being shared.
Each complaint will prompt a customers
Internet provider to notify the customer that
their Internet address has been detected shar-
ing les illegally. Depending on the service
provider, the rst couple of alerts will likely
be an email warning. Subsequent alerts might
require a person to acknowledge receipt or
review educational materials. If a nal warn-
ing is ignored, a person could be subject to
speed-throttling for 48 hours or another simi-
lar mitigation measure.
After ve or six strikes, however, the per-
son wont face any repercussions under the
program and is likely to be ignored.
Music, movie industry to warn copyright infringers
Bernanke signals continued
support for low interest rates
By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON Ben Bernanke sent a message Tuesday to
Congress: The Federal Reserves low-interest-rate policies are
giving crucial support to an economy still burdened by high
unemployment.
The Fed chairman acknowledged the risks of keeping rates
low indenitely. But he expressed condence that such risks
pose little threat now.
Delivering the Feds semiannual monetary report to Congress,
Bernanke sought to minimize concerns that the central banks
easy-money policies might cause runaway ination later or dan-
gerous bubbles in assets like stocks. He sought to reassure
sometimes-skeptical senators that the Fed is monitoring poten-
tial threats and can defuse them before they hurt the economy.
Several Fed policymakers said at their most recent meeting
that the Fed might have to scale back its bond purchases because
of the risks. Those comments, contained in minutes released last
week, fanned speculation that the Fed might soon allow long-
term borrowing rates to rise. Stock prices fell sharply.
Suits: More water, less buzz in Bud, Michelob beer
PHILADELPHIA Beer lovers across the U.S. have
accused Anheuser-Busch of watering down its Budweiser,
Michelob and other brands, in class-action suits seeking mil-
lions in damages. The suits, led in Pennsylvania, California
and other states, claim consumers have been cheated out of the
alcohol content stated on labels. Budweiser and Michelob each
boast of being 5 percent alcohol, while some light versions
are said to be just over 4 percent.
The lawsuits are based on information from former employ-
ees at the companys 13 U.S. breweries, some in high-level
plant positions, according to lead lawyer Josh Boxer of San
Rafael, Calif.

WONDO MONEY: REIGNING MLS MVP GETS NEW 4-YEAR DEAL WITH SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES >>> PAGE 12
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Turns out last year wasnt a uke.
For the second year in a row, the Half Moon
Bay boys basketball team advances to the
Central Coast Section Division IV champi-
onship game after knocking off the No. 1
seed. Tuesday night, that was Seaside, 46-39,
at Menlo School.
I thought we played very well on defense,
said Half Moon Bay coach Rich Forslund.
They (Seaside) shot 30 percent for the game.
We rebounded the ball very well.
This marks the rst time in school history
that the Cougars will appear in back-to-back
CCS championship games. They lost 53-44 to
Sacred Heart Prep in 2012. The fourth-seeded
Cougars will face No. 3 Menlo School in the
championship game. The Knights knocked off
No. 2 Palma 64-53 in the other seminal game
at Menlo.
Early on, it appeared there was no way the
Cougars would make it back. Less than three
minutes into the game, Half Moon Bay (22-6)
was already down 9-0 as Seaside (20-4)
drained three straight 3-pointers to open the
contest. After that, however, the Cougars
defense shut down the Spartans, holding them
to just 30 points the rest of the game, includ-
ing only two points in the second quarter.
My rst instinct was, Were in trouble,
Forslund said as he team quickly fell behind.
I think what happened after that, they started
settling for that shot. We did a good job of get-
ting hands up in their faces. A lot of their fast
break scoring comes from offensive rebounds.
They didnt get hardly any of that tonight.
After falling behind 9-0, the Cougars
methodically worked their way back into the
game and when Corey Cilia drained a 3 with
1:17 left in the rst, Half Moon Bay was only
down 15-11 after one.
HMB back in CCS finals

The Menlo School boys basketball team
advanced to the Central Coast Section Division IV
championship game for the rst time since win-
ning it all in 2009 after the third-seeded Knights
knocked off No. 2 Palma 64-53 Tuesday night at
Menlo School.
Its a great win for the program, said Menlo
coach Delandro Leday. Im just happy for the
boys.
The Knights (19-7) will take on No. 4 Half
Moon Bay in the championship game at 8 p.m.
Friday at Foothill College.
Menlo had four players score in double gures,
led by Jack Heneghans 15 points. Bobby Roth
added 13, Ryan Young nished with 12 and Liam
Dunn came off the bench to chip in with 11.
We read the newspaper clippings that they had
more talent, Leday said. But we have some guys
who can score.
Palma was led by UCLA-bound Noah Allen,
who scored 17. Jacob Taylor also scored 17 for the
Chieftains. Jacob Regester scored nine in the rst
half, but managed only one basket in the second to
nish with 11.

By now, the whole world knows how the
Menlo girls basketball team is going to attack
you.
Theyre going to feed Drew Edelman.
And theyre going to keep doing it until you
stop them.
No one wearing the blue and yellow is
pulling any Houdini acts here.
But no matter how many times youve seen
that formula put into play during Edelmans
career, there is still something magical about
its efciency and that was the case for Menlo
Tuesday night during the Central Coast
Section Division IV seminal at Notre Dame-
Belmont against Scotts Valley.
The No. 2 Knights beat the Falcons 58-46
behind Edelmans 30 points and 22 rebounds.
And if it wasnt for a third quarter when she
only hit a pair of free throws while her other
teammates warmed up, Edelman could have
easily had a lot more.
We came out strong, said Menlo head
coach John Paye who has his team one win
away from a CCS title. We were able to get

If youre a fan of the Sacred Heart Prep
girls basketball team, you know it isnt every
night you can look at the box score, notice a
ve in the points column for Melissa Holland
and expect to hear your Gators won.
Especially not in a game as big as the
Central Coast Section Divison IV seminals
against the No. 1 seeded Soquel Knights,
right?
But thats exactly what happened Tuesday
night on the Notre Dame-Belmont campus
and SHP guard Helen Gannon can explain.
I have to say our heart, Gannon said when
asked how, despite the lack of scoring from
their leading scorer, the Gators are on the way
to the CCS DIV nal. Everyone says, Sacred
Heart? This little tiny school in Atherton?
People have barely heard of us. I think its just
heart, wanting to go out there and make a
name for ourselves. Make our school proud.
The Gators survived various second-half
surges by the Knights but held on for a 55-52
win. SHP led by as many as 12 points and saw
double-digit leads trimmed down to single
possession advantages, including 54-52 with
less than a minute to go in the game.
[We played] controlled, focus basketball,
said SHP head coach Ann Tafolla. We tend to
get a little antsy when teams dont go, Oh,
youre up 10? Then I guess well stop play-
ing. And I told them that at halftime, we can

PHOENIX Jemile Weeks refuses to
point fingers or make excuses. The face
responsible for his sub-par sophomore season
is the one he sees in the mirror every morning.
The second baseman is now trying to regain
his starting role with the Oakland Athletics.
There are plenty of candidates in the ineld.
Scott Sizemore returns after tearing his left
knee last spring and missing the year. Jed
Lowrie was obtained in a trade with the
Houston Astros and the As signed Japanese
veteran Hiroyuki Nakajimi.
There also are veteran
backups Adam Rosales
and Eric Sogard.
Weeks, who led off for
the As in Saturdays
spring opener at the
Milwaukee Brewers,
embraces the competition.
Its my job to show
them Im no different than
I have been in the past,
Weeks said. There is a sense of having to
prove it to people if they doubt.
He was Oaklands rst-round pick in 2008,
reached the majors ahead of schedule and hit
.303 in 97 games as a rookie in 2011.
There was no reason to think he would
backpedal. But last Aug. 21, when he was hit-
ting .220 with two homers and 20 RBIs, he
was sent to Triple-A Sacramento.
That prompted As GM Billy Beane to make
some moves during the offseason that has pro-
duced some stiff competition this spring.
You put guys into situations to see what
they can do, As manager Bob Melvin said.
You take into consideration a guy who has a
track record but guys know theyre in compe-
tition.
For Weeks, its a matter of returning to what
made him successful in the rst place: work-
ing hard every day year around.
His older brother, Milwaukee Brewers
inelder Rickie Weeks, is also convinced
Jemile will return to prominence.
Hes an All-Star second baseman, the
elder Weeks said. I know that for a fact.
After his sensational rookie season, in
which he led all major league rookies in bat-
ting average and triples, he got of his routine,
perhaps resting on his laurels just enough to
offset the things he accomplished the previous
season.
Everybody goes through streaks like this,
Oaklands Weeks wants to regain starting spot

The San Jose Earthquakes announced
Tuesday that the club has signed forward
Chris Wondolowski to a new contract, making
the Danville native the second Designated
Player in club history. Per league and team
policy, terms of the deals were not disclosed
but the deal is believed to be four years and
worth $600,000.
Im very excited right
now, Wondolowski said
via conference call with
the media Tuesday as he
and the rest of the Quakes
prepare for the Major
League Soccer opener
March 3 against Real Salt
Lake. Its a huge honor to
sign the contract and to
show that youre wanted
here. I wouldnt want to
be anywhere else. I love
the organization. I love where theyre headed,
the coaching staff is unbelieveable and I love
them. But especially the guys in the locker
room; thats what makes it fun and worth-
while.
Wondolowski, 30, is the reigning
Volkswagen MLS Most Valuable Player after
tying the league record for goals in a season
with 27 in 2012. He has led the league in goals
for three consecutive years, earning three
MLS Best XI selections in the process. The
two-time MLS All-Star is also the all-time
league leader in goals per 90 minutes among
players with at least 100 appearances with a
0.64 clip.
The new deal keeps Wondolowski in San
Jose for at least three more seasons with a club
option for a fourth. The fourth year becomes
guaranteed if the forward reaches certain
goals or milestones, according to
Wondolowski who represented himself in the
contrct negotiations.
Im just really excited that it shows that the
team wants me here because the team wants
me here, Wondolowski said. Thats the part
Im the most excited about. Theyve rewarded
me for a couple good years and Im hoping I
can repay them with a couple more good
years. I think thats the main message.
Following breakout campaigns in 2010 and
2011, Wondolowski compiled one of the best
seasons ever by an MLS player in 2012 and
was rewarded with the Volkswagen MLS
MVP. He also took home the Budweiser
Golden Boot and was an MLS Best XI selec-
tion. Wondolowski scored 27 goals and more
than doubled his career high in assists with
seven to lead his club to their second
Supporters Shield trophy. His goal total tied
an MLS mark that has stood since the leagues
inaugural season in 1996. He also broke the
MLS record for game-winning goals with 11,
two more than the previous mark held by him-
self and LAs Carlos Ruiz.
Wondolowski is the all-time club leader in
goals (64) and game-winning goals (26). He
also holds the MLS mark for goals in a three-
year span (61).
Wondolowski becomes only the third
American to get the Designated Player label
of the 57 in MLS history. He joins Landon
Donovan and Freddy Adu.
I denitely hope that continues to be the
trend because I feel like those are the players
that are making it and proving themselves,
Wondolowski said. Sometimes the league
has been a bit quick to give foreign players DP
money that arent quite accustomed to the
league. Those (domestic) players are the ones
that drive the league.
Wondolowski burst onto the scene in 2010,
scoring a goal in each of his rst four appear-
ances after beginning the season fth on the
depth chart at forward. He capped that memo-
rable season with 10 goals in the clubs last
eight games to lead the Earthquakes to their
first MLS Cup Playoff appearance since
rejoining the league in 2008. He also sur-
passed LA Galaxy forward Edson Buddle in
the nal week of the regular season to earn the
Budweiser Golden Boot. Wondolowskis 18
goals accounted for 52.9 percent of San Joses
season total, the second-largest percentage in
MLS history.
In 2011, Wondolowski would repeat his
success with a league-leading 16 goals and his
rst U.S. Mens National Team appearance.
His rst cap came on Jan. 22, 2011 against
Chile. To date, Wondolowski has made nine
appearances for the USMNT, the most recent
of which was a Jan. 29, 2013 start against
Canada at BBVA Compass Stadium in
Houston.
I really dont feel any more pressure,
Wondolowski said about his raise affecting his
on-field play. I always put pressure on
myself. To be honest, its like playing with
house money because Ive been in the situa-
tion and the one thats real pressure is the guy
that doesnt play on a regular basis and gets
his one opportunity. Thats where the real
pressure is. I have condence in my ability
and the teams ability. I think were hitting our
stride and were where we want to be heading
into the season.

INDIANAPOLIS If the Indiana Pacers
learned anything from their 108-97 win over
the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, its
exactly how close they are as a team.
Team unity and having each others back
has been a theme for the Pacers, and they had
a chance to show it when center Roy Hibbert
got involved in a fourth-quarter scufe.
Hibbert was ejected following the skirmish
that began when he and David Lee exchanged
shoves under the basket after a missed shot.
There were two or three guys coming after
(Hibbert), Pacers forward David West said.
We preach and talk about togetherness, so
thats part of what were going to do. Were
going to defend one another. They came after
him too many times.
West, who had 28 points and seven
rebounds, also was called for a technical foul,
along with the Warriors Lee, Stephen Curry
and Klay Thompson, for the altercation.
No players left the bench.
Curry tried to push Hibbert away and was
shoved twice to the court as the ght went
from the key to the baseline.
Seriously, I didnt even feel him, Hibbert
said of Curry. I saw some light-skinned guy.
I dont know if it was Klay Thompson or
Steph Curry, I just knew there was a light-
skinned guy by me.
Hibbert believes he will face a suspension.
Indianas a very physical team, Lee said.
Theyre one of the most physical teams, if not
the most physical team in the East.
George Hill had 23 points and seven assists,
and Paul George had 21 points and 11
rebounds for the Pacers (36-21), who have
won ve straight.
Curry scored a season-high 38 points and
Thompson had 13 for the Warriors (33-24),
who had a three-game winning streak
snapped.
It was just physical play, Curry said.
Teams are gearing up for playoff basketball
and amping up the intensity a little bit.
The Pacers built a 95-85 lead midway
through the fourth quarter and not even the
scufe shook them up as they ended a three-
game skid against Western Conference teams.
When play resumed, Ian Mahinmi made a
free throw and later West had three baskets,
Lance Stephenson hit a 3-pointer and George
scored on a jumper to give the Pacers a 104-87
lead with 3:28 left to play.
We knew we had to (close it out) with Roy
going out, George said. We knew we had to
close that game. Were happy about this, but
its one game.
Indiana beats the Warriors
after 4th-quarter scuffle
GLENDALE, Ariz. Tim Lincecums
long hair is gone. Dont let the new image fool
you.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner is
hoping he looks like the pitcher he was before
struggling last season.
Lincecum gave up three runs and failed to
get through two innings in his rst spring
training start Tuesday for the San Francisco
Giants, an 8-8 tie with the Los Angeles
Dodgers.
The 28-year-old right-hander shed the shag-
gy do this winter, and he worked with two
trainers to increase his strength after going 10-
15 with a 5.18 ERA last year. He thrived as a
reliever during the Giants run to a World
Series championship but is poised to return to
form as a starter this season.
Lincecum gave up four hits and was done
for the day after Skip Schumakers two-run
double with one out in the second inning.
Still, he was happy with his effort.
Mechanically, I felt really good,
Lincecum said. I hit most of my pitches,
other than a slider that kind of spun out on me.
I threw all my pitches. I denitely felt strong.
Its just a good sign to feel the ball come
out of your hand in a way that it didnt last
year, he said.
Lincecum said he started against the
Dodgers without the benet of pitching bat-
ting practice at the Giants training camp in
Scottsdale. He said his scheduled session was
canceled because of rain.
Last year, I didnt have the will to sustain
my pitching, he said. I wasnt strong
enough. But now I feel like I am.
Josh Beckett, meanwhile, struck out three in
two scoreless innings for Los Angeles.
I got my pitches in, Beckett said. Thats
the most important thing. I dont think you can
take too much from results right now. But I
feel good.
The Giants trailed the Dodgers by ve runs
after two innings. Two homers by designated
hitter Brett Pill led the San Francisco come-
back.
With two outs and the Dodgers leading by
two in the ninth, Pill drove a pitch from
Dodgers right-hander Gregory Infante over
the left-eld wall. Pill also hit a solo shot in
the fourth.
Lincecum struggles in 1st spring start
Hockey coach gets 15
days in jail for tripping player
RICHMOND, British Columbia A
Vancouver pee-wee hockey coach has been
sentenced to 15 days in jail for tripping a play-
er during a postgame handshake.
Martin Tremblay swept out the leg of an
opposing player while the teams were going
through the typical hockey ritual of lining up
to shake hands after the game. Two players, a
10-year-old and a 13-year-old, fell to the ice.
The move was caught on video and worked its
way around the Internet.
The 48-year-old pleaded guilty to one count
of assault in November.
Richmond provincial court Judge Patrick
Chen gave Tremblay jail time, saying he was-
nt satised that time served in the communi-
ty was enough to denounce or deter the man
for his actions.

BARCELONA, Spain Cristiano Ronaldo
got the better of Lionel Messi on Tuesday,
scoring twice to lead Real Madrid to a 3-1 win
at Barcelona and a spot in the Copa del Rey
nal.
After salvaging a 1-1 draw in the rst leg,
Madrid neutralized Barcelonas passing game
and counterattacked to perfection at the Camp
Nou to hand its archrival its rst home loss in
any competition since last April.
We played a great game, Ronaldo said.
We faced the game with a serious attitude,
played better and scored three goals, which is
tough to do.
It was also a second straight cup setback for
the Catalan club, which is running away with
the Spanish league but lost 2-0 at AC Milan in
the rst leg of its Champions League last-16
matchup.
While Messi had a quiet night, Ronaldo
scored for a sixth straight visit to Camp Nou
when he earned and converted a penalty in the
13th minute. Ronaldo hit again on the break in
the 57th before Raphael Varane got his second
goal of the series in the 68th to turn a con-
vincing win into a rout.
Defender Jordi Alba scored late for
Barcelona, but it was much too late to prevent
Madrid from advancing 4-2 on aggregate.
Madrid will play either Atletico Madrid or
Sevilla in the Copa del Rey nal on May 18.
After struggling in his rst encounters with
Barcelona, Ronaldo has become a nemesis for
the Catalan club by scoring goals that have
directly contributed to them losing titles the
past three seasons.
Besides ending Barcelonas cup defense
this campaign, Ronaldo scored here to
dethrone Barcelona as league champions last
season after also netting the winning head-
er against Barcelona in the 2011 cup nal.
Ronaldo is our reference. Hes vital for
us, said Madrid captain Iker Casillas, who in
a rare move spoke in place of coach Jose
Mourinho, even though the goalkeeper sat out
because of a broken hand. He has shown how
good he is not just today but in other clasico
matches. He is on a great run right now and
we have to try and get the most out of it.
While Ronaldo put on one of his most
memorable performances since joining
Madrid, Messi couldnt keep up as the oppos-
ing defense again surrounded him and his
teammates never picked up the slack.
A victory in the cup for Madrid would go
some way toward salvaging what could be
Jose Mourinhos last season with the club,
after seeing its defense of the Spanish league
title stutter and crumble.
With another clasico looming on
Saturday at Madrid in the league, that title is
rmly in Barcelonas grasp as it has a 12-point
lead in the standings, with Mourinhos team
another four points back.
That means Madrid can turn its attention to
next Tuesdays Champions League match at
Manchester United, following a 1-1 home
draw in the rst leg of their last-16 series.
Since being thrashed 5-0 in his rst game in
charge of Madrid in 2010, Mourinho has a
record of four wins, six draws and six losses
against Barcelona. And Madrid has come a
long way with only one loss in their last seven
contests.
For Barcelona, it was their worst defeat at
the hands of its erce rival since losing 4-1 in
the Santiago Bernabeu in 2008.
The two cup losses also indicate that
Barcelona is sorely missing coach Tito
Vilanova, who is still undergoing treatment in
New York after having a second tumor in two
years removed from his throat in December.
Barcelona, which was again led by assistant
coach Jordi Roura, has ve wins, three draws
and three losses since mid-January.
This is a hard loss to accept but we have to
pick ourselves up quickly, Barcelona mid-
fielder Cesc Fabregas said. We had our
chances but they get out on the break so easi-
ly and we left too many spaces open. We need
to learn from our mistakes (and) remember
that we still have two titles to ght for.
Ronaldo leads Madrid past Barca to make Copa final
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Cliff Pennington
brings deft defense to the shortstop position.
Any offense he provides for his new team in
Arizona would be a bonus.
Needless to say, the Diamondbacks would
love more performances like the one
Pennington delivered against his former
Oakland teammates on Tuesday, when he
went 2 for 2 with a two-run homer for
Arizonas split squad in a 9-4 win.
Acquired last October in a trade that sent
center fielder Chris Young to Oakland,
Pennington hit just six home runs last season
and has 24 in 1,748 career at bats in the
majors. So his shot off Fernando Rodriguez
was a rarity.
Im just trying to take good swings right
now, he said. Im seeing the ball good. I
caught one out front. Its not something Ive
done a whole lot in my career but Ill catch
one from time to time.
Pennington, who came up through the
Oakland organization, acknowledged being
extra motivated against his former team, even
if it was only a spring training game.
Anytime you play your friends in anything
theres always a little extra on it and Ive got a
lot of buddies over there, he said. Id be
lying if I said it wasnt a little bit sweeter.
Pennington is in competition with Willie
Bloomquist for the everyday shortstop job but
he said he isnt worrying about that situation.
Im just trying to go out there and get as
comfortable as I can with the guys on this
team, this coaching staff, he said. Signs and
the National League, theres a whole lot of
stuff on my plate right now that Im trying to
iron out. Im just going to do the best I can,
play the way I play and whatever happens,
happens.
Manager Kirk Gibson said his staff has been
working with Pennington, who hit just .215
last season after batting .264 in 2011.
Hes going to have a better year this year
than he did last year. How much, I dont
know, Gibson said. Weve been working on
some things. Obviously he executed properly
today. ... Were trying to shorten him way up,
trying to get his bat short to the ball. He can
wait and see and recognize the ball longer.
Hes a really good ballplayer, you can tell that.
Hes a baseball player.
Jason Kubel and Adam Eaton also hit two-
run homers for Arizona.
As starter A.J. Grifn was sharp in his
spring debut. The right-hander, who came up
from the minors to go 7-1 with a 3.06 ERA in
15 starts and help the As win the AL West last
season, gave up one hit and struck out three in
two scoreless innings. It was his rst big
league spring training start. That left him in
the unusual position of having started a major
league postseason game before starting a big
league spring training game.
As fall to Dbacks in spring ball
Weeks said. I came into last season feeling
good and then I got out of my routine.
He wasnt going to blame the sophomore
jinx, how pitchers adjusted to him or anybody
afliated with the Athletics. He took full
responsibility.
Sure pitchers threw me differently but I
have to go back to getting out of my routine,
Weeks said. Those were the same pitchers I
faced as when I broke in. It was my results
which were different. You realize this game is
not easy and you have to keep working hard to
be good. Theres really no other substitute for
that.
The As really dont know what to expect
out of Sizemore and Lowrie, who has also
been plagued by injuries during his big league
career. Nakajimi is making the adjustment to
American baseball.
I have to applaud Billy for what he did this
offseason, Melvin said. Its a nice problem
to have. What it allows us to do is withstand
injuries, or give guys days off over the course
of a season.
Lowrie, who has yet to play a full season in
the majors, is as healthy as hes been and also
looking forward to the season. He says play-
ing shortstop is why I am here. I feel good. I
havent played since last year but I feel
healthy.
Lowrie, who turns 29 in April, played in a
career-high 97 games with the Houston
Astros. He missed two months because of
thumb and ankle injuries.
Thats why you put in the time to rehab,
Lowrie said. You know there is baseball
down the road.
Its also the reason Weeks has himself back
on track and looking forward.

Sports brief
SPORTS 14
said. We made sure we stuck to
their shooters.
The game was close the entire rst
half, but Palma (19-7) jumped out to
a 5-0 lead and despite seeing Menlo
tie the game at 8 and again 18, the
Chieftains led after both the rst
quarter (16-15) and halftime (29-26).
In the second half, however, the
Knights exploded 38 points. They
scored 20 in the third quarter while
limiting Palma to just eight points as
Menlo turned a three-point halftime
decit into a nine-point advantage
going into the fourth quarter.
Roth tied the game at 29 for the
Knights by hitting a 3-pointer to
open the third quarter. A bucket from
Palmas Regester put the Chieftains
back up 33-32, but a 3-pointer from
Menlos Ryan Young gave the
Knights the lead for good, 35-33.
That basket keyed a 14-4 run by
the Knights, who led 46-37 going
into the fourth quarter. The Knights
did a good job of driving to the bas-
ket and either getting a layup or kick-
ing it out to the wing and knocking
down a 3. They hit four of their six 3s
in the second half.
We found a rhythm (offensive-
ly), Leday said.
Roth scored 11 of his 13 in the sec-
ond half, while Young had eight of
his 12 in the third and fourth quar-
ters.
Menlo pushed its lead to 52-37 fol-
lowing a 3 from Dunn and a three-
point play by Wes Miller and the
Knights were threatening to run
away with the game, but Palma
responded with a 6-0 run to get with-
in 10, but the Chieftains could not get
enough stops to pull much closer.
The good thing about this team is,
we dont have one or two guys we
depend on, Leday said. It was just
a great team effort.
NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL
Menlos Jack Heneghan takes the ball right at Palmas Noah Allen during
the Knights64-53 win in a CCS Division IV seminal game Tuesday night.
MENLO
the ball into Drew, Drew was able to
nish. We had a lot of intensity. Scotts
Valley is a tough team. Weve battled
them every year for the last ve years.
Theyre well coached. They have com-
petitors. They never gave up. I wouldnt
expect anything less from them.
On Tuesday, the Knights appeared to
deate the Falcons from the get-go with
their efciency. With the score 6-5 in
Scotts Valleys favor, the Knights put
some weight on the accelerator and
went on a 10-0 run. Theyd then close
the quarter on a 7-0 clip to lead 24-13
after one and it was actually a 13-0
run if you add the rst couple of min-
utes of the second quarter in there.
Behind all that initial offense was
Edelman and her 22 points and 11
rebounds.
The Falcons did their best to try and
trim a 33-19 halftime decit but realis-
tically, the Knights were never in any
real danger. Scotts Valley got to within
12 points before Menlo went on a 7-0
run to close the quarter this with the
Falcon putting two or three defenders
on Edelman on the block.
The Falcons may have had the
Knights a little dgety in their seats
when they pulled to within 11 points.
But Maddy Price and her six fourth-
quarter points (16 overall) made sure
the lead did not dip below double dig-
its.
We were here two short years ago
when we were ahead by four points
with 28 seconds to go and Mercy-San
Francisco and they a 3-pointer, a steal
and a 2-pointer to go ahead by one,
Paye said when asked if he ever felt
uncomfortable at any time during the
fourth quarter. So, I knew anything
can happen. I was not relieved until the
nal buzzer sounded.
The Knights will play rival Sacred
Heart Prep at 5:30 p.m. Friday at
Foothill College in the DIV nal.
We felt like we were strong, Paye
said when asked if the championship
game is where he envisioned his squad
getting to at the beginning of the sea-
son. We have a good, solid team. I
think we are peaking at the end. I have
to hand it to our seniors. We have four
seniors on our team that they know it
was one and done tonight. And they
stepped up their game and really rallied
the whole team.
KNIGHTS
be up 10, we can be up 15, its never
going to be enough. Theyre going to
keep coming. Keep playing focus, con-
trolled basketball. And they took care of
the ball which we havent done all the
time. It was a good day to do it.
It was a great day considering Soquel
did a good job of shutting down one of
the Holland sisters. Unfortunately for the
Knights, Meagan Holland was her usual
self as No. 2 scored 14 points. And she
wasnt alone picking up the offensive
slack. Gannon scored 14 while Riley
Hemm (nine points) and Caroline
Cummings (eight points) had huge,
momentum-shifting buckets for the
Gators.
Shes been there. She plays tough
defense. She boxes out. Shes our big
kid,Tafolla said of Cummings. It was a
sort of a guided effort through all of them.
We did something totally different on
defense and they did it, they managed it.
I think we all just stepped it up,
Gannon said. We came in here knowing
we were the underdog and I think that we
realized she was going to be shut down
but we just all stepped it.
SHP led 19-15 after the rst quarter
and pushed the lead to 10 with six min-
utes left in the half. The Knights cut it to
seven but Gannon banked home a long 3-
pointer at the buzzer to get the lead back
to double digits.
The second half was all about the
Gators taking Soquels best punches and
hitting bit shots to thwart the comeback
efforts.
The Knights got off to a 7-0 start in the
third before Gannon hit a bucket to stop
the surge. Then, Soquel was down 38-37
before Jessica Koenig hit a big 3-pointer
to do the same.
The Knights dominated the boards in
the third quarter to give them plenty of
second-chance offensive looks. Still, they
only shot 27 percent from the oor.
Defense its all weve been work-
ing on, Gannon said. We switched up
the defense a little. We added the press.
We wanted to come out the strongest on
the press.
Up six come the fourth, the Gators led
by as many as nine before Soquel began
to foul to try and save time with over two
minutes left in the game.
The strategy almost worked because
Soquel got to within two and had a
chance to tie the game after a SHP free
throw made it 55-52 with 29 seconds left.
But the Knights missed the equalizing
shot.
Im happy for them, Tafolla said. I
want you to feel what its like to play at a
level, to win and to pull it off. To win.
Enjoy the moment and be like, That was
so awesome. Its a fun place to be in for
sure.
SHP
It was a sign of things to come for
Cilia, who nished with a game-
high 21 points. He opened the sec-
ond quarter with another 3 to cut the
Seaside lead to 15-14 and when
Case DuFrane hit a leaning jumper,
it gave Half Moon Bay the lead for
good, 16-15.
After scoring six points in the rst
half, Cilia erupted for 15 in the sec-
ond half, hitting all three of his 3-
point attempts. None was bigger
than his 3 at the end of the third
period that extended the Cougars
lead back to seven points, 35-28,
after Seaside had cut its decit to
four. Cilia was 5 of 6 from beyond
the arc in the game.
That was huge, Forslund said of
Cilias 3 just before the end of the
third quarter. Corey played his tail
off. Hes probably the hardest work-
er on the team.
While Cilia was the only player
on either team to nish in
double gures, the Cougars got a lot
more production from the rest of the
squad. Seven different players
scored in the rst half alone. It was
that depth that proved to be critical
as Forslund rotated nearly every
player on the roster into the game.
Compare that to Seaside, which
goes only seven players deep.
Our depth is a big factor,
Forslund said. We played at least
10 guys. We needed everybodys
contributions tonight.
The Cougars dominated on the
boards, out-rebounding the Spartans
31-17. Seasides reluctance to drive
to the hoop and not crash the boards
limited the Spartans to one-and-
done more often that not.
In this case, they couldnt get to
the basket and had to settle for
perimeter shot after perimeter shot,
Forslund said.

Sharks outlast Avalanche 3-2 in shootout
SAN JOSE Patrick Marleau
scored in the fourth round of the
shootout, Antti Niemi stopped three
shots in the nal session and the San
Jose Sharks showed signs of coming
out of a monthlong slump with a 3-
2 victory over the Colorado
Avalanche on Tuesday night.
Michal Handzus made the rst
shot and two Sharks missed before
Marleau shook Semyon Varlamov,
sneaking the puck between the goal-
tenders legs for the winning score.
Niemi turned aside 25 of 27 shots
before the shootout and tossed aside
John Mitchells attempt to send it to
a fth round.
Logan Couture and TJ Galiardi
also scored goals for the Sharks,
who snapped a two-game losing
streak. San Jose has won eight
straight at home, including three in
overtime.
San Jose had been 1-6-3 in its last
10 games since setting a franchise
record by winning its rst seven of
the season. The Sharks 41 shots on
goal were the most since a 4-0 win
over the Avalanche exactly a month
earlier.
Chuck Kobasew scored in the rst
period and Mark Olver scored the
tying goal for the Avalanche with
3:16 remaining in regulation.
Colorado fell to 0-1-2 on its three-
game road trip.
San Jose overcame the loss of its
key contributors, while Colorado
struggled to put pressure on net.
Avalanche center Matt Duchene,
leading the team with 11 assists and
17 points, sat out with a lower-body
injury. Sharks forward Ryane Clowe
served the second and nal game of
his suspension by the NHL for insti-
gating a ght late in Fridays 2-1
loss at Chicago, and San Jose placed
defenseman Brent Burns on injured
reserve with a lower-body injury.
The Sharks looked at home from
the start, and Colorado never looked
cozy as usual. The Avalanche
have lost eight straight in San Jose
since winning Game 1 of their rst-
round playoff series in 2010.
Just 25 seconds into the game, Joe
Thornton stole the puck from the
back boards and quickly passed to
Couture collapsing on goal. Couture
flicked the puck past Varlamov,
falling to the ice as his seventh goal
of the season and rst in nine
games sailed into the back of the
net.

Dont have time for
breakfast? Drink it
By Candice Choi
BOCA RATON, Fla. If you dont have time to sit down
for a bowl of cereal in the morning, companies are hoping
youll want to drink your breakfast.
As companies struggle to grow cereal sales in the U.S.,
Kellogg and General Mills are preparing to roll out breakfast
drinks.
At an industry conference Wednesday, Kellogg CEO John
Bryant said one way the company will redene cereal is with
its Breakfast To Go milk-based drink, which will be rolled
out nationally this year. A day before, General Mills said its
testing a dairy-based breakfast shake called BFast that has
whole grains and the nutrition of a bowl of cereal and milk,
including ber, protein, vitamins and whole grains. The drink
is currently being tested in the Northeast.
In separate remarks, both companies noted that a similar
drink called Up & Go by Sanitarium Health and Wellbeing
Co. is performing strongly in Australia, with about 10 percent
to 20 percent of the cereal business.
The broader idea of turning meals into drinks is getting more
attention as people look for convenient ways to eat on the go.
Even though it doesnt take much time to sit down for a bowl
of cereal, people are increasingly looking for portable foods
they can eat on the way to work or school.

LA PAZ, Bolivia The growing
global demand for quinoa by health food
enthusiasts isnt just raising prices for
the Andean super grain and living
standards among Bolivian farmers.
Quinoa fever is running up against phys-
ical limits.
The scramble to grow more is prompt-
ing Bolivian farmers to abandon tradi-
tional land management practices,
endangering the fragile ecosystem of the
arid highlands, agronomists say.
Quinoa currently fetches as much as
$3,200 a ton, up nearly threefold from
ve years ago a surge fed by food-
ies making quinoa a hot health-food
product based on its high content of pro-
tein and amino acids. Its also gluten-
free. Though used like a grain, quinoa is
actually an edible seed.
The United Nations has designated
2013 as the International Year of
Quinoa, and Bolivian President Evo
Morales celebrated it in New York
Wednesday along with Perus rst lady,
Nadine Heredia. Their countries are the
worlds two biggest producers.
The U.N. Food and Agriculture
Organization believes quinoa can make
an important contribution to global food
security and ghting hunger.
Quinoa can grow if very diverse cli-
mactic and environmental conditions,
including climates with very little rain-
fall. And thats especially important on a
planet that is warming where desertica-
tion and the erosion are more pressing
than ever, U.N. Secretary General Ban
Ki-Moon said in New York.
Quinoa has been cultivated in the
Andean highlands since at least 3000
B.C., growing natively from Chile north
to Colombia. It grows best at high alti-
tudes in climates with cool days and
even cooler nights.
In December, Morales mounted a trac-
tor and plowed furrows into the soil of
his highlands hometown, Orinoca, to
promote quinoa as sowing season got
under way. Townspeople sacriced a
llama to ask Pachamama, or Mother
Earth, for a good harvest.
But last week, Morales was out chas-
tising farmers for having planted quinoa
in pastures where llamas traditionally
graze. Without the llamas manure, little
would grow in the arid highlands more
than two miles (three kilometers) high
where the most prized variety of quinoa
originates.
Quinoa goes hand in hand with the
natural fertilizer that llamas produce and
there must be a nutritional crossing
between the two, said Rossmary Jaldin,
an expert in the crop.
Bolivias deputy minister of rural
development, Victor Hugo Vasquez, said
30 percent of his countrys 70,000
quinoa producers are now children of
peasants who left the farm but have been
drawn back by high quinoa prices.
He and the president of Bolivias
National Association of Quinoa
Producers, Juan Crispin, say many of the
growers dont follow traditional farming
methods and are depleting soils because
they dont rotate crops.
Were not going to work with them,
said Vasquez. We are not going to help
them.
Morales government declared quinoa
a strategic priority two years ago and has
since disbursed $10 million in credits for
increasing yields to cash in on the boom.
The countrys quinoa crop expanded
from 240 square miles (63,000 hectares)
in 2009 to 400 square miles (104,000
hectares) last year, when it produced a
total of 58,000 metric tons, according to
the Rural Development Ministry. That is
more than 40 times the production in
2000.
The United States imports 52 percent
of Bolivian quinoa while 24 percent
goes to Europe, where France and the
Netherlands are big buyers.
Peru, meantime, raised its production

to 43,640 metric tons last year from 29,640
tons in 2009 and exported $30 million worth,
up 20 percent from the previous year.
Their gains have caught the attention of
potential competitors. Farmers are beginning to
plant quinoa in other countries, including
Canada, Australia, China, India and Paraguay.
A few thousand acres are harvested in a high-
land valley of the U.S. state of Colorado and
also in Minnesota.
Bolivian farmers are complaining to their
government that they need harvesting machin-
ery since most of their quinoa is harvested by
hand. Morales administration has invited
South Korean engineers to design the desired
machines.
Duane Johnson, a former Colorado state
agronomist who helped introduce quinoa to the
United States three decades ago, said quinoa
can be commercially planted and harvested just
like grain.
Its just the size of millet, said Johnson,
who now lives in Bigfork, Montana. I think
the problem you get into in South America is
getting enough land to justify a combine.
When he was growing quinoa in the late
1980s, the United States accounted for 37 per-
cent of the worlds quinoa crop, Johnson said.
Today, it has about 2 percent, he said.
Environmental concerns about the expansion
of quinoa in Bolivia arent the only problems
that experts see.
Near Lake Titicaca, in some of the high-
lands most fertile soils, quinoa is now showing
up where it hadnt before been planted, replac-
ing potatoes, beans and oats in some elds.
Experts fear that trend could harm food
stocks in this poor nation where one in ve
children suffers from chronic malnutrition.
And with quinoa now costing three times as
much as rice in La Paz markets, it isnt eaten
much by Bolivians.

Founded in 2006, Coupa is the leading
provider of cloud-based spend optimization
software. It has about 300 customers in 40
countries that use the companys purchasing
and procurement software to improve their
spending power and reduce costs up to 11
percent.
Saving 11 percent a year brings Coupas
clients coming back as it has about a 95 per-
cent renewal rate for its software subscrip-
tions.
About $14 billion in spending went
through Coupas platform last year,
Bernshteyn told the Daily Journal.
The beauty of the cloud is you dont buy
anything, he said.
While a company such as Ross Dress for
Less may optimize how it spends money for
most of its products, some items such as
hangers or signs or even bathroom supplies
can be purchased through Coupas platform
for signicant savings.
Every penny counts, he said.
Coupa works with suppliers in practically
every category which creates a network effect
that boosts its corporate clients profits.
Coupas software links buyers with suppliers
in a one-stop-shop platform.
The company was named a silver winner in
the category of Fastest-Growing Company
of the Year by the 2012 Best in Biz Awards
and has seen a 1,000 percent increase in rev-
enue growth over the past four years.
Last year, it added some more corporate
giants to its list of customers, including AAA
Insurance, Amerinet, Cadence Design
Systems, Coca Cola Bottling Co.
Consolidated, ITT Exelis, General Atlantic,
Hanger, Inc. and Orbitz.
All the new clients have caused the compa-
ny to outgrow its current headquarters in
downtown San Mateo on Ellsworth Avenue.
With no available space to grow in its cur-
rent location, the company went out looking
for a larger space. But instead of housing the
company under one roof say in San
Francisco or Palo Alto, Bernshteyn decided
to lease more office space in downtown San
Mateo to create a campus-like feel for the
company.
The new ofce will open March 18 and is
located on B Street, across from the old City
Hall building.
The dozens of new employees the company
plans to hire in the coming months will reap
the benets of being a Coupa employee with
unlimited pizza, a short walk to the Caltrain
station and an unlimited paid time-off policy.
As the company plans to open its new
development center on B Street, it is also
preparing for the upcoming Coupa INSPIRE
Conference in San Francisco April 8.
The conference will feature industry ana-
lysts, customers, partners and Coupa execu-
tives to discuss best practices in spend opti-
mization.
Senior-level executives from the health
care, nance, aviation, media and technology
industries will present how they have suc-
cessfully optimized their spend.
Executives from Pandora, Blackstone,
Avalon Health Care, Inc., Aircraft Service
International Group and others are expected
to speak at the conference on how Coupa has
helped them save money.
Coupa helps companies get more for their
money by promoting a frugal culture and
helping the company know where their
money is being spent. It also helps companies
combine their spend power with partners to
get even better terms from suppliers.
Coupa calculates it has saved its corporate
clients just more than $1 billion so far.
The company is proof that the software-as-
a-service, or on-demand software, in the
cloud works.
Software-as-a-service, or SaaS, sales
reached $10 billion in 2010 but that number
is expected to climb to about $21 billion in
2015.
Much of the growth in the industry is cen-
tered right here in Silicon Valley.
And while some might be confused as to
where Silicon Valleys dividing lines are,
Bernshteyn is not.
Its a fair claim that this is Silicon Valley,
he said about downtown San Mateo. He touts
the recent approval of the Draper University
of Heroes in downtown as proof of that claim.
Tim Draper is the venture capitalist that fund-
ed Hotmail, Skype and several other startups
who even sat down with Bernshteyn to dis-
cuss Coupas future. Coupa has had three
rounds of venture capital funding to help fuel
its rising success.
It plans to hire about 50 new employees
shortly, mostly in engineering and sales, with
most of the positions being lled in San
Mateo. The company is also starting to hire in
Australia and Europe as its reach extends
overseas.

FOOD 19
By Sara Moulton
Id love to claim that this wonderful recipe
required hours of arduous research and testing
(not to mention the expert application of all of
my hard-won culinary skills) before I was able
to settle on the exact proportions of its ideal
ingredients. But Id be lying. In truth, I had
almost nothing to do with it. The clams did it.
Certain ingredients including clams,
mussels, rack of lamb, skirt steak and dark
chocolate make meals delicious with very
little effort on your part. Really, youd have to
be an idiot to screw them up. Clams and mus-
sels are especially generous, delivering a one-
two punch of taste thrills: the succulent
bivalves themselves and the deeply avorful
juices that stream out of them when theyre
cooked.
My favorite way to mess with clams is to
steam them, as in this recipe. You toss all the
ingredients into a pot, pile on the clams, put
on the lid, crank up the heat, and presto! Ten
minutes later the dish is done. The only prob-
lem is that the clam liquor at the bottom of the
pot is so tasty that Im forced to sop it up with
slice after slice of bread.
Thats why I decided to bulk up this dish
with broccoli rabe, a healthy and savory veg-
etable that absorbs some of the clam liquor as
it cooks (though the clam liquor that remains
still cries out for at least a slice or two of
toasted country-style bread).
As a way of blunting the vegetables slight-
ly bitter edge, your rst step with broccoli
rabe is to blanch it. Cut off the tough ends of
the stems, then boil it all in a large pot of salt-
ed water for two minutes. Next, drain it and
transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the
cooking and set the color. Finally, chop it
crosswise into pieces about 1/2-inch thick. Its
just much easier to eat that way. The garlic,
chili sauce, ginger and sesame oil in the broth
are complements strong enough to stand up to
the robustness of the broccoli rabe.
After insisting above that theres no way to
screw up cooking with clams, Ive got to
emphasize one crucial step, a step to ensure
that the little guys turn out tender. You need to
remove each clam from the pot as it opens up.
The rst ones will be good to go after four or
five minutes. The last clam might stay
clammed up until ve or six minutes later, by
which time the rst clams if youd left
them in would be horribly tough.
Thats it. Quick, easy, nutritious, delicious
and satisfying. Try it and see if you dont end
up happier than a clam.

and saute for 1 minute. Add the chili sauce,
white wine, chicken broth and clams. Cover
tightly and cook until the clams start to open.
As they open, transfer the clams to a bowl. It
will take 7 to 10 minutes for all the clams to
open. Discard any clams that do not open.
Keep the saucepan over medium heat.
Return the clams and any liquid in the bowl to
the pan. Add the broccoli rabe, then cook just
until heated through. Add the sesame oil and
stir well. Divide the clams and broccoli rabe,
along with the cooking liquid, between 4 shal-
low soup bowls. Serve each bowl with a few
slices of toasted bread and a soup spoon.

You need to remove each clam from the pot as it opens up.The rst ones will be good to go

by which time the rst clams if youd left them in would be horribly tough.

may have headed to East Palo Alto while
free which alarmed that community,
Nightengale said.
I was absolutely happy, Nightengale
said of Parsons new decision.
Time served is calculated as a combi-
nation of actual days in custody plus
other credit for good behavior or work
time. Time at the jail is gured different-
ly than days at a state mental hospital
which is part of why the various parties
came up with disparate totals.
Elarms was originally held without
bail when charged in the 2010 murder
but the amount was dropped to $500,000
after a judge dismissed the case for a
violation of his Miranda rights.
Prosecutors charged Elarms with having
the jailhouse weapons a spork, a
toothbrush and two pencils strapped
together and all sharpened to a point
found during cell searches in February
2011 as a way to keep him in custody
while appealing that ruling and in
January he pleaded no contest to three
counts. However, Elarms is seeking to
withdraw the plea. McDougall previous-
ly told the Daily Journal Elarms has
questions regarding what he understood
about the plea deals future conse-
quences for probation and parole.
Parson will hear the motion March 5
and, if it is denied, impose sentence up
to four years. If he receives that maxi-
mum, Elarms has about 10 months left
of the time for which hell serve half,
Nightengale said.
Meanwhile, prosecutors remain hope-
ful a higher court will overrule Judge
Stephen Halls ruling in November that
San Mateo police did not Mirandize
Elarms or respond to his numerous
requests for a lawyer before taking his
confession. With the admission out, Hall
found insufficient evidence to hold
Elarms to answer for Lewis murder.
Elarms is accused of following Lewis
on June 8, 2010 from San Mateo
Medical Center, where he was an out-
reach worker, to the parking garage of
Hillsdale Shopping Center and shooting
him once in the torso. The men reported-
ly knew each other from childhood but
Elarms believed Lewis had become his
enemy. Lewis uttered the name Greg
before dying but police made no arrests
until contacted by Elarms six months
after the shooting.
Elarms was later committed to Napa
State Hospital as unable to aid in his
own defense before being deemed com-
petent and returned to San Mateo
County for prosecution.

contract is expected to come back before
the council for approval this summer,
said City Manager Connie Jackson.
Councilman Ken Ibarra said the work
toward getting a hotel in San Bruno has
been a long time coming.
We patiently waited for this night and
for an opportunity to have this hotel. I
am just pleased to serve with the mayor
on this subcommittee and be serving on
this council to see this day here, said
Ibarra.
Mayor Jim Ruane echoed Ibarra and
said the property, which now houses the
Crossings, was previously U.S. Navy
land which was not generating tax rev-
enue. Today its worth $300 million, he
said.
Five developers applied when San
Bruno issued a request for proposals in
November. The city currently doesnt
have any large space for meetings or
wedding receptions. Offering such space
was a proposal requirement which was a
challenge, Jackson said, since its not
typical of lifestyle hotels.
OTO Development founder Todd
Turner said the company was delighted
to get the call from Jackson to be the rec-
ommended company. He said the com-
pany spent many months getting to
know the city staff and area. It will soon
break ground on a project in Palo Alto,
which gave Turner condence that the
estimates provided are conservative and
represent real costs locally.
OTO Developments vision includes a
five-story hotel that is about 77,000
square feet of oor area, 70 feet tall with
parking both below and at grade. The
$30 million project will have two natural
gas shuttles available to transport hotel
patrons to local businesses and to and
from the San Francisco International
Airport. It will feature 3,000 square feet
of meeting space, enough room for up to
400 people for meetings depending on
the conguration. The hotel will have a
free breakfast buffet and all-day coffee
and tea service as well as a 24-hour mar-
ket with convenience and food items for
sale.
Financing the deal will require a part-
nership with the city. The plan calls for
the developer not to pay for the land, for
the city to refund half the hotel tax for
the rst ve years, and that San Bruno
will waive all development and impact
fees, including building permits, accord-
ing to the proposal. Staff estimates this
represents about $3.955 million in proj-
ect assistance. Turner said that subsidy
would decline if the development cost
estimates go down.
Under the project timeline, OTO
Development estimates it will take a
total of three years from agreeing to start
negotiations last night to opening the
hotel doors in 2016.
Once complete, the hotel will be the
nal piece to the 20-acre development of
the former U.S. Navy site. A vision was
created for the space through the City
Council and community. It always
included a hotel. Since then, the area has
been built up to include the Crossings
1,063 multi-family units in ve build-
ings and a 15,000-square-foot fully-
occupied commercial center and then
Jacks Restaurant.
HOTEL
has the potential to kill the transaction.
A long line of real estate agents told
the council so last night while only a
couple of residents offered support for
the mandate.
The San Mateo County Association of
Realtors is also against the mandate.
Some cities in the county already have
the mandate but that is due to a court
order after pollution watchdog San
Francisco Baykeeper sued several cities
after excessive sewage waste owed into
freshwater creeks and the Bay. Pacica,
South San Francisco, Millbrae and
Burlingame already require the inspec-
tions at the point of sale but Belmont is
not required to.
Paul Stewart, the government affairs
director for SAMCAR, told the council
last night it should adopt the ordinance
but not make the inspection mandate at
the point of sale.
The proposed ordinance would also
require mandatory sewer lateral inspec-
tions for home renovations of more than
$50,000.
The council voted unanimously last
night to continue the item to a later date
but not before Vice Mayor Warren
Lieberman offered up his own motion.
Lieberman called for simply requiring
a disclosure form between the seller and
buyer at the point of sale to let the buyer
know that there could be potential prob-
lems with the lateral and the city would
ultimately require it to be xed. His
motion received no support, however.
Sewer laterals are the underground
pipes that connect a residence or busi-
ness to the main sewer line. Maintenance
of sewer laterals is the responsibility of
the property owner in Belmont.
Fixing a sewer lateral could cost
between $7,500 and $25,000. If the
property owner cannot pay the bill or
negotiate with the buyer to split the cost,
the transaction could die, SAMCAR
contends.
Resident Greg Bryant said the ordi-
nance the council considered last night
would only x the citys sewer lateral
problems after every single resi-
dent sells their home and leaves
town.
Thats not the way to solve
the problem, Bryant said.
Some questioned how big the
inll and inltration problem is
related to sewer laterals in com-
parison to the city-owned sewer
system.
Lieberman also mentioned
how the council chose not to
seek bonds to x the citys aging
sewer infrastructure years ago
because it did not want to burden
its residents with more annual
fees.
Lieberman said the sewer lat-
eral inspection and repair
requirement at the point of sale
would bring too much anxiety
to the transaction.
The ordinance will likely be
brought back to the council in a
modied form in April at the
earliest.

PisCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- There are always
those times when we turn out to be the victor with
something in which we are vulnerable. If you happen
to take a beating in the early rounds today, keep this
in mind.
aries (March 21-April 19) -- Be as fexible as
possible when trying to iron out the snags in an
agreement. When you allow everything to be on the
table during negotiations, the problems will dissolve.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Stay out of offce
politics as much as possible. Chances are nothing
will be resolved, but the brouhaha it stirs up could
unsettle you and affect your job performance.
GeMini (May 21-June 20) -- Unless you match your
activity with the clock, not everything you want to
accomplish will get done. Dont spend too much
time on unanticipated interruptions.
CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- Dont fght for what
you want if you know that doing so will have
detrimental side effects. Whats good for you might
not be equally rewarding for the others involved.
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Even though Lady Luck
is willing to help you out, you might not notice her
contribution until late in the game. Make some room
for her to squeeze into the picture.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- When it comes to
your fnancial affairs, be both careful and prudent
by thinking frst and acting second. If you reverse
this order, you might not be able to clean up your
mistakes.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- In negotiating a matter
of importance, dont be too hasty and accept what
is frst offered. If you arent getting exactly what you
want, you should be able to improve your position.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Something that you
work really hard on might not turn out as well as you
expected. Conversely, that to which you devote little
effort could go over like gangbusters.
saGiTTarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Try to be tolerant
and forgiving in involvements with both your family
and friends. When you overlook their shortcomings,
they, in turn, will overlook yours.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although it might
not be easy, a critical objective can be achieved.
When Lady Luck sees that you are doing everything
you can, she will lend a helping hand.
aQuarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Youll have good
luck in fulflling your expectations and hopes, but
not necessarily in the way you expected. Unforeseen
developments will cause you to scrap your original
plans.
