Notre Dame defends title while under the influence after

Squad returns from nationals with second championship win
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
For the second year, Notre Dame
High School’s cheer squad returned
from nationals with reason to be
spirited — a championship title.
Notre Dame was one of a number
of San Mateo County high schools
to earn a bid to the United Spirit
Association nationals competition
held in Anaheim last weekend.
While all squads showcased their
spirit, it was Notre Dame that suc-
cessfully defended its national title
coming home for the second time
with a first place finish in the large
varsity novice show cheer division.
“It’s almost hard to explain. We
were hoping we’d do well,” said
coach Morgan Craig. “To defend
your title in any sport is amaz-
ing. I’m proud of the girls.”
Notre Dame had a large
division, facing 23
squads. Only five
moved on to the finals,
held on Sunday. Notre
Dame’s 20-girl squad had
placed third after the prelim-
inary round Friday.
Cheerleading, like any sport, is
about the performance on any par-
ticular day. Locally, squads from
Mercy, El Camino, Sequoia,
Hillsdale and Carlmont high schools
competed in a variety divisions aim-
ing for a top spot.
The rebuilding year for Mercy’s
Crusader Rabbits earned the 24-girl
squad a fourth place finish in the
large varsity novice division,
said coach Rebecca Hazen.
“They did great. I’m
really proud of them.
They hit their routine.
They did everything
solid,” said Hazen, who
only expects her team to
improve.
Hillsdale High School’s 13-
girl squad — consisting of six sen-
iors, a junior and six sophomores —
took ninth out of 21 squads in the
medium varsity show cheer interme-
diate division, said coach Stephanie
Silvers.

Obama says spending deal close
By David Espo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A bullish President
Barack Obama said Friday that compromise is
close with Republicans on $33 billion in
budget cuts, and he warned that without a deal
the ensuing government shutdown would
“jeopardize our economic recovery” just as
jobs are finally being created.
Despite his assessment, negotiators reported
little progress, Senate Democrats backtracked
on a key concession from earlier in the week
and Congress’ top Republican sounded less
optimistic than the president that a break-
through was imminent.
“There is no number. There is no agreement
on a number” on how much to cut, insisted
House Speaker John Boehner, who is under
pressure from tea party-backed conservatives
not to give too much ground. Still, he added,
“I am not preparing for a government shut-
down.”
Funding for the government expires next
Friday at midnight, and without action by
Congress, a partial shutdown would follow.
The day’s events occurred against a back-
drop of unusually upbeat news about the econ-
omy, which is still recovering from the worst
recession since the Great Depression. The
Labor Department reported that companies
added 216,000 jobs last month and the unem-
ployment rate fell slightly to 8.8 percent.
Nearly six weeks after the House passed a
bill calling for $61 billion in cuts, it appeared
the endgame was at hand in the first of what is
expected to be a series of political battles over
the size and scope of government.
“We will be working through the weekend
to forge a compromise,” said Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. At Republican
insistence, Congress has already cut $10 bil-
lion in spending as part of a pair of stopgap
spending bills to keep the government open
for business.
While another short-term bill has not been
ruled out, Obama, Boehner, Reid and others
have said they would prefer to complete work
on a six-month bill to close out the budget
year.
Already, Republicans are looking ahead to
unveiling a 2012 budget next week, after
weighing privately whether to delay so they
could focus all of their attention on the current
clash.
Lawmaker’s speech perpetuates boozy image
By Stephen Dockery
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HELENA, Mont. — A lawmaker’s speech
railing against drunken driving reform —
mocked mercilessly by political opponents —
is no laughing matter to activists who say it
perpetuates the state’s dangerous boozy cul-
ture.
Bar owner Alan Hale said in a speech on the
House floor this week that DUI laws are harm-
ful to small businesses, implying people need
to drive home after drinking.
Tough DUI laws “are destroying a way of
life that has been in Montana for years and
years,” said the Republican from the rural
town Basin, where a few hundred people live
near the mountains of the Continental Divide.
Hale’s speech was perhaps most surprising
for its honesty. Until only recently, Montana
had one of the most permissive drunken driv-
ing cultures in the country. Montanans could
legally sip a beer while driving, and repeat

LOCAL/STATE/NATION
Barack Obama delivers remarks at a UPS shipping facility in Landover,Md.
Administration officials have been heavily
involved in the negotiations on the spending
bill, but the president struck something of an
above-the-fray note on Friday.
“Given the encouraging news we received
today on jobs, it would be the height of irre-
sponsibility to halt our economic momentum
because of the same old Washington politics,”
he said.
“It can’t be ‘my way or the highway poli-
tics,’ said the president, who has sought in
recent months to recapture the support of
independents who helped elect him in 20008
but defected to the Republicans in last fall’s
elections.
“We know that a compromise is within
reach. And we also know that if these budget
negotiations break down, it could shut down
the government and jeopardize our economic
recovery.”
Shortly before Obama spoke, Reid shifted
the Democrats’ position on one key element of
the talks, in apparent deference to environ-
mentalists angered by an earlier concession.

and seventh offenses with

culture in that there’s some validity in what he
is saying. But I certainly don’t think there’s a

Few politicians, even in Montana, dare to
stand up these days against DUI reform. But
Hale’s comments perhaps reflected what oth-

“Neither the White House or the Senate
leaders is going to accept any EPA riders,” he
said in a conference call with reporters.
House Republicans included provisions in
their $61 billion package of spending cuts that
would block the EPA from implementing reg-
ulations on a variety of industries.
Democratic officials indicated earlier in the
week some of them would be incorporated
into any agreement as part of a deal under
which Republicans would agree to accept
total cuts less than $61 billion.
In response to Reid’s statement, Kevin
Smith, a spokesman for Boehner, said, “If
they are taking EPA riders off the table, then
we’re certainly not ‘close’ to a deal.“
In fact, it appeared the two sides had agreed
to little, except that they would assemble a
framework to cut $33 billion from current
spending levels.
The original House measure would cut $61
billion from domestic accounts, including
administration priorities such as education
and infrastructure.

Hale took the business angle.
“These DUI laws are not doing our small
businesses in our state any good at all. They
are destroying them,“ Hale said, talking about
the long drives in rural areas to get to pubs.
“They are the center of the communities. I’ll
guarantee you there’s only two ways to get
there: either you hitchhike, or you drive, and I
promise you that they are not going to hitch-
hike.“
He refused to comment on the issue Friday.
Hale is not the only lawmaker to push back
against DUI reform in this legislative session.
Sen. Jonathan Windy Boy, a Democrat, took
issue with a proposal to strip driver’s licenses
from teens caught drinking, even if they’re not
driving at the time. He argued that the entire
package of proposed DUI reform puts the
Legislature on “the path of criminalizing
everyone in Montana.”

Local briefs
Downtown carjacker arrested
San Mateo police quickly arrested a
Millbrae man after he violently took the keys
from a 42-year-old San Mateo woman and
stole her car, colliding with structures in a
parking garage and another car in downtown
San Mateo Thursday afternoon.
At approximately 2:50 p.m., the woman
was in the Mills Square parking garage at
101 S. San Mateo Drive when the man, later
identified as Paul Patrick Kirwan, 42, vio-
lently took her keys to her car and tried to
flee the garage, hitting the parking atten-
dant’s structure and the closed parking gate.
He hit another car, leading to injuries to a 50-
year-old San Mateo resident, according to
police.
Kirwan then allegedly fled on foot, accord-
ing to police.
Multiple officers were on scene within two
minutes and were pointed in the right direc-
tion by witnesses. Kirwan was arrested and
was found to have been released on parole
just two weeks before. He was charged with
carjacking, assault with a deadly weapon
(intentional ramming of another vehicle),
felony driving under the influence (injury to
driver), drug possession and parole violation,
according to police.
Local schools
honored for achievement
Two local schools — Millbrae’s Lomita
Park Elementary and South San Francisco’s
Sunshine Gardens Elementary — were
selected as 2010-11 Title I Academic
Achievement Award.
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Tom Torlakson announced this week that 209
California public schools were selected for
the award given to schools receiving federal
funding to assist in meeting the needs of stu-
dents living near or at the poverty level.
“These schools have demonstrated excep-
tional commitment to the education of their
students and have achieved impressive
results,” Torlakson said in a prepared state-
ment. “I congratulate all those who put forth
the extra effort that resulted in this presti-
gious award — school administrators and
staffs, teachers, parents and, of course, the
students themselves.”
Of the more than 9,000 schools in
California, more than 6,000 of them partici-
pate in the Title I program.
The criteria to qualify for the Title I
Academic Achievement Award have become
more rigorous in recent years. To meet the
criteria for this distinction, the school must
demonstrate that all students are making sig-
nificant progress toward proficiency on
California’s academic content standards.
Additionally, the school’s socioeconomically
disadvantaged students must have doubled
the achievement targets set for them for two
consecutive years.
The 2010-11 awardees will be honored at a
reception and banquet at the Disneyland
Hotel on May 20.
Eight-year-old seeks
bone marrow match
Eight-year-old Tevita Kofeloa was diag-
nosed with aplastic anemia in February
resulting in a search for a bone marrow donor
match.
Kofeloa, who is Tongan, Samoan and
Chinese, has the best chances of finding a
match with someone who is also from Pacific
Islander and Asian descent. A donor drive is
being held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday,
April 2 at the Teman Middle School field,
855 Arastradero Road in Palo Alto.
Only 30 percent of patients find donor
matches from a relative, according with the
National Bone Marrow Donor Program web-
site. The remaining 70 percent have a better
chance of finding a match with a person who
is the same race and ethnicity because tissue
types are inherited.
Registering requires a simple cotton swab
test and answering a few questions. Potential
donors must be 18 to 60 years old and in
good health.
Those who cannot attend can request a test
kit online at http://join.bethematch.org/tevi-
ta. A test kit will be mailed to your home.

Authorities kill mountain

lion cornered in backyard
Authorities shot and killed a mountain lion
that they cornered in a backyard after it wan-
dered into a Redwood City neighborhood
Tuesday morning.
The cat was first spotted at about 8:15 a.m.
near Alameda de las Pulgas and Whipple
Avenue.
Police had set up a perimeter and trapped
the animal in the backyard of a home near
Whipple Avenue and Woodsworth Avenue,
about a block from Sequoia Hospital,
Redwood City spokesman Malcolm Smith
said. The mountain lion was shot sometime
around 11:30 a.m.
California Department of Fish and Game Lt.
Todd Ajari said the department prefers to tran-
quilize wild animals if the location is con-
ducive to it and officials can get a clear shot.
In Tuesday’s case, officials were forced to kill
the mountain lion because it was cornered in a
residential area, he said.

The verdicts join those reached Monday

It all depends on how you define it
By Mary Clare Jalonick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The No. 2 official at the
Agriculture Department recently got a real-
life lesson in the loose definition of the trendi-
est word in groceries: “local.”
Walking into her neighborhood grocery
store in Washington, Kathleen Merrigan saw a
beautiful display of plump strawberries and a
sign that said they were local produce. But the
package itself said they were grown in
California, well over 2,000 miles away.
The popularity of locally grown food —
which many assume means the food is fresher,
made with fewer chemicals and grown by
smaller, less corporate farms — has led to an
explosion in the use of the word “local” in food
marketing. It’s the latest big thing after the
surge in food marketed as “organic,” another
subject of continuing labeling controversy.
But what does local mean? Lacking com-
mon agreement, sellers capitalizing on the
trend occasionally try to fudge the largely
unregulated term. Some grocery stores may
define local as within a large group of states,
while consumers might think it means right in
their hometown.
“It’s a sales gimmick,” says Allen Swann, a
Maryland farmer who became frustrated when
he realized a nearby grocery chain was selling
peaches and corn from New York and New
Jersey as local produce. “They are using the
word local because of the economic advantage
of using the word local.”
A federal definition is unlikely because of
the diversity of crops and growing regions
around the country. A set distance or definition
that works for one state or one crop may not
make sense for others. But some states have
taken a crack at it.
Vermont defines “local” as grown within the
state or within 30 miles of where it is sold.
Massachusetts has similar restrictions for the
word “native.” And numerous other states
have made it easier for local farmers to adver-
tise that their food was produced in-state.
Maryland recently proposed a new rule that
would require retailers to disclose what state a
food is from if they advertise it as locally
grown. Maryland Agriculture Secretary Earl
“Buddy” Hance says the state settled on that
approach so consumers could be the ones to
decide what they think is local.
“I’ll think twice in the hot tub at night when
I hear rustling in the leaves,” she said.
Sept. 9 fire resource center opens
City officials and nonprofit leaders celebrat-
ed the opening of the San Bruno Resource
Recovery Center Tuesday for residents affect-
ed by the Sept. 9 natural gas line explosion
and fire.
The 4,800-square-foot center, located at 458
San Mateo Ave. in San Bruno, will be home to
a number of recovery resources like case
workers, mental health services and educa-
tional information. The center was made pos-
sible through a partnership with numerous
organizations including the Peninsula Health
Care District, which donated $100,000 to the
American Red Cross to fund tenant improve-
ments for the center.
“Whatever it takes for as long as it takes,”
Mayor Jim Ruane said about how long recov-
ery services will be offered.
Mutual aid has been highlighted during and
after the tragedy. Often that definition
responds to those in emergency services.
However, the recovery center is an example of
other services working together, Ruane said.
The space, previously vacant for more than
a year, was refurbished to include a larger
when the jury found Youshock guilty of pre-
meditating and trying to murder his former
chemistry teacher, Meghan Spalding, explod-
ing a destructive device with intent to commit
murder, possessing a destructive device in a
public place, using explosives in an act of ter-
rorism and possessing a deadly weapon.
The convictions means Youshock, who has
pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity and is
portrayed by the defense as schizophrenic,
will have a sanity phase in which jurors decide
if he knew what he was doing and if it was
wrong. This process is set to start Monday and
Guidotti told the court she would hold off on
deciding if Youshock will be retried on the
attempted murder charge until after that phase
because it “does not affect the balance of the
trial.”
He faces life in prison or, if found insane,
hospitalization.
The bomb-laden teen went to school Aug.
24, 2009 wanting to kill teachers he deemed
“guilty” of ruining his life and leaving the
principal guilt-ridden.
After five months of planning for “D-Day,”
Youshock arrived on campus with a chain saw,
10 homemade bombs and a foot-long sword.
He was never able to start the chain saw and
was tackled by a teacher before anyone was
injured.

No grounds for blasting redistricting
— The Long Beach Press-Telegram
C
alifornia’s new redistricting
commission is working furi-
ously to meet its Aug. 15
deadline for redrawing legislative lines.
Partisans are busy, too — trying to
smear its 14 members with wild accu-
sations.
Don’t be fooled. The criticism aims
only to undermine the commission’s
credibility and generate political sup-
port.
The controversy came to a boil last
week when two prominent Republicans
bashed the commission’s choice of
Oakland’s Q2 Data and Research to
assist in drawing new districts.
Bruce Cain, a University of
California professor who years ago
consulted for Democrats on redistrict-
ing, is a minority owner of Q2. That
connection — according to Tony
Quinn, a Republican commentator, and
Tom Del Beccaro, new chairman of the
California Republican Party — should
have disqualified Q2’s bid. The fact that
it didn’t, they say, is proof Democrats
have hijacked the process, which was
Letters to the editor
Perspective
Editor,
In Dorothy Dimitre’s column on
March 28, she writes disparagingly of a
letter previously submitted. In that let-
ter, the writer noted that “Since the
Three Mile Island ‘disaster’ in which
no one was killed or injured, more than
one million people have died in auto-
mobile accidents in the United States.”
Dimitre didn’t challenge him on his
facts, just the direct relevance of those
facts. The writer could have made his
point better by submitting the following
facts, which can be found easily at the
website of the American Lung
Association, www.lungusa.com: 1).

people die from coal-fired power plant
pollution which crosses state lines. 2).
Each year, 13,000 people die from par-
ticulate matter from coal-fired power
plants. Consider just the former, and
use the average of 25,000 deaths per
year or approximately 500 each week.
In the roughly two weeks since the
earthquake and tsunami that struck
northeastern Japan, approximately
1,000 people have died from coal-fired
power plant pollution. Nothing sensa-
tional, and therefore, nothing newswor-

The funny thing is that the one other
bidder, the Rose Institute, is right-lean-
ing. And Quinn, who is outraged about
Rose’s exclusion, is on that group’s
board. By his own standard, his associ-
ation with Rose should have disquali-
fied it.
Perhaps more relevant: Rose’s appli-
cation was sloppy. Unlike Q2, it didn’t
include the disclosures required to fer-
ret out such conflicts. That’s why the
commission members — five
Democrats, five Republicans and four
independents — unanimously rejected
it.
“I would have been embarrassed to
submit that report,” Vince Barabba, a
Republican member, said. Barabba is
frustrated by the attacks from his party,
including that he and his fellow
Republicans have ceded control to the
left.
“I really resent it,” he said, detailing
his years of work for the GOP dating to

crash makes worldwide headlines.
Sensational. Run it. Airplanes kill.
We’re rightfully admiring the

But did anybody notice that 52
Pakistani coal miners died in a mine
explosion last week? I’ll bet that the
letter writer noticed.

Quinn and Del Beccaro have a list of
other silly complaints, all of which are
easily rebutted. Having a reasonable
argument isn’t the intent, though. This
is about scoring political points.
Quinn’s screed: “The ethic (sic)

white colonial power denying an
emerging California population their
rights through racist immigrant bashing
and tax and spending policies that
deprive people of color their share of

Barabba, the GOP commissioner,
would take issue with Quinn’s assess-
ment. He’s impressed by members’
expertise, range of views and willing-
ness to consider others’ opinions.

ties have long worried the commission

Train improves our lives
Editor,
I use the trains to go to San
Francisco Giants games as well as to
see museums in the city. I go to San
Jose to see the museum and I used the
train to go to the only San Jose Sharks
game I have ever been to. I would not
consider driving. When I see the
crowded commuter trains, I shudder to
think what it would be like every train
passenger chose to drive instead. The
train increases our quality of life.

Poor babies
T
here have been, sadly, some funny columns recently
about those poor babies in the financial, business and
corporate world who feel deeply hurt they are being
picked upon. Especially, the Koch
Brothers with their $42 billion of
net worth and covert contributions
to extreme right candidates. One
Wall Street Baby was even quoted
as asking: “When are they going
to stop whacking at the Wall Street
pinata?”
Let’s see how the poor innocent
Wall Street babies have suffered.
Instead of the highly deserved
imprisonment that their predeces-
sors suffered during the Great
Depression as a result of the
inquiries by the famed Pecora
Commission, not one single Poor
Baby of today has even been a country mile from being even
being endangered of imprisonment during the Obama adminis-
tration.
They label President Obama as being anything from just hos-
tile to the business community to being a suspect socialist with
“internalized Marxist ideas” promoting societal hostility and
class warfare.
Let’s look at what mischief Obama has achieved since inau-
guration. While the lower income classes are suffering the high-
est unemployment and wrecked real estate business since the
Great Depression, U.S. businesses have posted massive profits,
the greatest in history. Poor General Electric posted only $14.5
billion. Sad, because JPMorgan Chase profits went up 47 per-
cent last year.
Since that Socialist/Marxist Obama has been in office, the
Dow Jones has increased from 8,000 to 12,000, the wealthiest
received a massive tax cut, the top marginal tax rate is one-third
of the Eisenhower years, the wealth inequality is the greatest
since before the Great Depression, the share of U. S. taxes paid
by corporations has fallen from 30 percent in 1950 to about the
7 percent of today and the percentage of those living below the
poverty line is the greatest since statistics have been gathered.
So how about that damn socialist/Marxist class warfare presi-
dent?
And, look at all them radicals he surrounds himself with!
Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, a former business-loving invest-
ment banker. Replaced by Bill Daley, JP Morgan’s Midwest
chairman and Wall Street lover and veteran Treasury Secretary
Timothy Geithner. And now, he has added General Electric
CEO Jeffrey Immelt, a corporation with $14.5 billion in profits
last year that paid no taxes. An inside joke has been reported
that other financial institutions are resenting that so many
Goldman Sachs officials occupy so many high level U. S.
Treasury jobs.
Poor babies!
The ones who should be crying, now, are those financially
and job dispossessed who are, undoubtedly, wondering why
they voted for that Wall Street and business-lovin’ Obama in the
first place.
***
We can’t deny we are living in some interesting times. Such
times cannot be predicted and sometimes we don’t even realize
we have been living through them until we look back.
Who could have predicted the Arab spring uprising against
the dictators of the Middle East? Or that the conservative
Republicans would have acquired so much traction as to be
able, at one time, to attempt to reverse so much of the social
progress of the past 80 years and block the revenue needed to
keep the nation from a horrendous financial reversal? Certainly,
we are not bankrupt but we will be if they succeed in bleeding
the nation dry of revenue to favor the oligarchs who now,
already, are astride our nation’s destiny.
Whether they succeed depends upon the negative perceptions
of the middle class. But, that is not likely, yet, because a recent
survey by two Harvard professors showed a surprising result:
Most Americans grossly underestimate the level of wealth
inequality in the United States. While the most recent data show
that the richest 20 percent of Americans own 84 percent of the
national wealth, those polled, Democrats and Republicans alike,
believed it was far more evenly divided, like 20 percent owning
just 32 percent of the wealth.
The professors concluded that the middle class considers
itself affluent because it possesses a lot of cars, houses and
material goods and is doing better than its parents and in “keep-
ing up with the Joneses.” But some owe so much on credit that
they may actually have a zero or negative net worth.
I will add, they likely don’t realize that much of this accumu-
lated wealth is due, predominately, to the manipulation of finan-
cials and has nothing to do with physical additions to the
national wealth or the creation of any productive jobs for the
benefit of other citizens.
But it will become acutely aware if the current crop of con-
servatives is able cut away enough of the instruments it has had
to increase or preserve its own wealth, such as collective bar-
gaining, unemployment, Social Security and Medicare benefits
and gelds the minimum wage and child labor laws.
That will capture its attention.

Stocks end higher
Wall Street rises after unemployment dips to 2-year low
By David K. Randall
and Matthew Craft
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A drop in the unem-
ployment rate to a two-year low sent
stocks higher Friday.
The Labor Department said the unem-
ployment rate fell to 8.8 percent, the low-
est since March 2009, as companies
added workers at the fastest two-month
pace since before the recession began.
Approximately 216,000 new jobs were
created last month, offsetting layoffs by
local governments. Economists had
expected the unemployment rate to
remain at 8.9 percent.
“We are clearly seeing a breakout in the
labor market,” said Paul Zemsky, the head
of asset allocation at ING Investment
Management. “The jobless recovery is
ending and we are moving into a job
expansion stage of the economy.”
The report helped send the Dow Jones
industrial average to a new 2011 high dur-
ing early trading. Stocks then pared those
gains in the afternoon as oil prices hit new
30-month highs. Crude oil jumped $1.22
to settle at $107.94.
The Dow’s 100-point gain early in the
day seemed unwarranted because the
employment report was just slightly bet-
ter than expected, said Jack Ablin, chief
investment officer at Harris Private Bank
in Chicago. “There’s a relief that the job
gains were continuing, but it’s not a huge
Auto sales up with economy
By Tom Krisher
and Dee-Ann Durbin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Americans bought
smaller cars and SUVs in March, as
higher gas prices made fuel efficiency a
top priority and rising employment
meant more first-time buyers bought a
vehicle.
The trends lifted U.S. sales of new
vehicles by 17 percent from a year ear-
lier to 1.25 million, a healthy rate that
shows the auto industry’s slow and
steady recovery remains on track. The
monthly sales pace, adjusted for sea-
sonal differences and projected out for
the year, came in at 13.1 million.

FDA proposes calorie counts on menus

WASHINGTON — Like it or not,
many restaurant diners will soon know
more about what they are eating under
menu labeling requirements proposed by
the Food and Drug Administration.

surprise,” he said. “It’s worth maybe 40
points on the Dow.”
Stocks rose across the market. Eight of
the 10 company groups that make up the
S&P 500 index moved higher, led by a
0.9 percent rise in industrials shares.
The Dow rose 56.99 points, or 0.5 per-
cent, to 12,376.72. The average of 30
large company stocks gained 1.3 percent
for the week.
The Dow has already risen 6.9 percent
this year. That’s the best start since 1999.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose
6.58, or 0.5 percent, to 1,332.41. The
Nasdaq composite rose 8.53, or 0.3 per-
cent, to 2,789.60.
All three indexes made gains for the
second week in a row. The S&P 500 rose
1.42 percent and the Nasdaq 1.7 percent.
“This jobs report shows that we are in
the early stages of a sustainable recovery
in employment, and that is what’s letting
the market put the recent correction
behind us,” said Phil Orlando, chief equi-
ty strategist at Federated Investors.
The Institute of Supply Management
reported a slight slowing in manufactur-
ing growth during March. The trade
group’s index of manufacturing activity
slipped to 61.2 from February’s 61.4. The
drop was largely expected after manufac-
turing hit its highest level since May 2004
during February.
sales hit 16 million a year.
The March 11 earthquake in Japan had
little impact on sales, although automak-
ers said supplies of some cars could be
tighter as spring progresses.
General Motors, Ford, Honda and
Nissan all saw double-digit increases in
sales. Of major automakers, only Toyota
reported a decline of 6 percent, but that
was expected since Toyota’s sales last
March were boosted by big incentives.
As gas prices rose, sales of more effi-
cient cars and crossovers took off. The
national average for a gallon of gas hit
$3.58 this week, the highest price ever
for this time of year. Gas prices have
jumped 25.1 cents per gallon in the past
month.

A’s shut down by reigning AL Cy Young winner

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mariners 6, A’s 2
OAKLAND — Felix Hernandez found his Cy
Young form in a hurry, pitching a five-hitter for his
14th career complete game and the majors’ first
this year, and the Seattle Mariners beat the AL
West rival Oakland Athletics 6-2 on Friday night.
Chone Figgins hit a go-ahead solo home run in
the sixth inning off loser Craig Breslow (0-1),
Ichiro Suzuki singled twice, drove in a run and
stole a pair of bases as the Mariners won their
opener under first-year manager Eric Wedge to

crowd of 36,067 that includ-
ed 1,000 standing-room only
tickets. Suzuki moved within
one hit of tying Edgar
Martinez’s franchise hits
record of 2,247.
Hernandez (1-0) dazzled
after allowing Josh
Willingham’s two-run, two-
out homer in the first. King
Felix faced the minimum in
each of the next six innings, allowing only a lead-
off single to David DeJesus in the fourth before
Landon Powell’s base hit to begin the eighth.
Hernandez, who won the 2010 AL Cy Young
Award despite only 13 victories, struck out five
and didn’t walk a batter in a 108-pitch gem. The
right-hander is now 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA in his
four career opening-day outings.
The previous pitcher to throw a complete game
on opening day was Ben Sheets for the
Milwaukee Brewers in 2007 against the Los
Angeles Dodgers, according to STATS LLC.
Willingham wasted little time showing why the
A’s acquired him from Washington this winter to
be their new cleanup hitter and upgrade an offense
that managed only 109 homers and 663 runs last
season, the team’s second fewest in the last 28
non-shortened seasons.
Willingham sent the second pitch he saw from
Hernandez over the out-of-town scoreboard in left
— the first opening day homer allowed by
Hernandez in his four career assignments.
Willingham became the 10th player in Oakland
history to hit a home run in his first at-bat with the
A’s. Frank Thomas last did it on April 3, 2006.

The junior college baseball season

New-look America’s Cup opens with ‘World Series’
By Bernie Wilson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — The new-look
America’s Cup will begin this sum-
mer with 15 teams from a record 12
countries sailing fast catamarans in a
true World Series.
Organizers announced Friday that
14 challengers from around the globe,
plus defending champion Oracle
Racing of San Francisco, have signed
up for the 34th America’s Cup. They
also announced Portugal, England
and San Diego as the first three stops
on the new America’s Cup World
Series.

follow during the buildup to the 2013
weather heats up, so will the CSM
bats.
But the offense isn’t what has been
carrying the Bulldogs in the season’s
earlier half. Nope, there hasn’t been a
better team on the mound in all of
California than San Mateo. Entering
Saturday’s contest against De Anza,
the Bulldogs boast the best ERA in
the state at 1.98 — the only team
with an ERA under two. That stat gets
even better in division play when it
dips to 1.92 with opponents hitting a
minute .185.
“I think out pitching coach Bryan
Faulds has been doing a great job with
the staff. It’s been a pretty consistent
message there since day one,”
Williams said. “We’ve seen them be
able to execute a plan and he deserved
a lot of credit for that.”
When Williams says personnel,
he’s referring to a trio of pitchers, all
with ERAs under 2.02 and a fourth
who is limiting hitters to a .143 bat-
ting average.
Josh Frendenhall (Hillsdale) leads
the entire state with a perfect 0.00
ERA in 21 2/3 innings. If he’s been
great, the CSM starters, Devin
Bradley (Carlmont) and Clay Bauer,
may be better — each have pitched
America’s Cup on San Francisco Bay.
“It is time to go racing,” Iain
Murray, the regatta director and CEO
of America’s Cup Race Management,
said from his home in Sydney,
Australia.
Of the 14 challengers who’ve
entered, 12 have been validated while
the others are being checked against
qualifying requirements. Some of the
vetted teams have yet to publicly
announce their challenges.
The latest to announce was Italy’s

Hanging around a couple of places
behind the Colts are the Trojans. It’s
been a weird start to the season — a
start that is only getting weirder.
“We’ve lost some games early that
we should have won — we gave
away three games in league, some by

been the mighty bats of the Mark
Hoem and Grant Nelson, who are hit-
ting .435 and .427, respectively. But
when Skyline looks back on their
start, they can’t help but feel that they
should be in a better position. The cul-
prit has been their inability to drive
runners in from scoring position —
that, and they have hit into 20 double
plays.
“We haven’t gotten those key hits
and that has hurt us, there is no ques-
tion, that is what is setting us apart,”
Nomicos said. “And if we had gotten
some key hits we wouldn’t have 14
losses, we’d probably have seven.”
Things might get tougher for the
Trojans in the second half. Hoem suf-
fered a shoulder injury sliding into
first base in a game against Cabrillo.
Nomicos says it will require surgery,
it’s just a matter of when Hoem, who
will play at USF next year, decides to
go ahead with it.
It’s yet another blow for Skyline
who lost second baseman John Bordy
to injury three weeks ago.

there is no question,” Nomicos said.

Yet, Skyline remains optimistic and
is hoping the pitching of a couple of
freshman, Andrew Hidalgo and Julian
Merryweather, plus the continued hit-
ting of Nelson and Devin Kelly
(who’s been coming on strong in con-
ference play) will be enough to make
a move upward in the standings.
“I think now we’re staring to play
real well,” Nomicos said.
“Traditionally we start playing better
in the month of April for some reason.
It’s been a roller coaster type year
with a lot of ups and downs.”

want to be — going into Saturday’s

At 9-4, Cañada is in a position to
strike and have picked the regular

Defense key for both Butler and VCU
By Nancy Armour
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — That Butler and VCU
proudly wear the same small-conference, lov-
able underdog label is readily apparent.
Less obvious is their shared devotion to the
not-so-sexy practice of hard-nosed, aggres-
sive defense — long a trademark of Butler’s
game but much more of a surprising late-sea-
son development from the running, gunning
Rams.
“That’s what’s got us here. For five straight
games, we’ve been playing great defense,”
VCU forward Jamie Skeen said Friday. “If we
play great defense again against Butler, we
can probably come out with the win.”
Eighth-seeded Butler (27-9) plays VCU,
which has gone from the “First Four” to the
Final Four, in the national semifinals Saturday
night.
“It’s more of a challenge because you know
everybody is looking at their defense, how
good they are,” VCU point guard Joey
Rodriguez said. “We want to come out and try
to prove to people we can play defense just as

By Eddie Pells
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Nobody will dispute that they
are great coaches, and the latest evidence lies in
the teams they guided to this year’s Final Four.
Nobody will argue that John Calipari and Jim
Calhoun are saints, either.
The men on the sidelines for the Kentucky-
Connecticut Final Four matchup have had their
share of trouble — with each other, the programs
they run and the NCAA.
They are a microcosm of everything that’s
right and wrong in college basketball — a coach-
driven game where good leaders can elevate pro-
grams and players to new levels but the road to
success often produces its fair share of cringe-
worthy dealing.
Calipari leads the fourth-seeded Wildcats (29-
8) against Calhoun and the third-seeded Huskies
(30-9) in the second semifinal Saturday. Both

good as them.”
Virginia Commonwealth (28-11) is a shoot-
er’s dream team, a roster full of guys who
think they’re in range as soon as the bus nears
the arena. (It’s no coincidence TV analyst
Steve Kerr joined the Rams for a shooting
contest during practice at last weekend’s
Southwest Regional.)
The Rams have launched 895 3-pointers
this year — no, that’s not a misprint — and
are shooting an unbelievable 44 percent from
long range just in the NCAA tournament.
They’ve finished with 12 3s in three of their
first five games, with Brandon Rozzell mak-
ing six on his own against Georgetown and
Bradford Burgess doing the same against
Florida State.
But don’t mistake VCU for the
Globetrotters.
The Rams are not exactly Wisconsin
wannabes, ranking 238th (out of 336 teams)
in field goal defense and 134th in scoring
defense. They’re 298th in rebounding margin.
Yet they’re in the Final Four because they shut
down Southern California, Georgetown,
Purdue and Florida State before manhandling
coaches coaxed a turnaround out of their young,
struggling teams to make unexpected trips to the
game’s biggest stage — the third for Calipari and
fourth for Calhoun.
On the eve of the game, their histories were as
lively a topic as the success of their teams.
One of the first questions Calipari fielded
Friday was whether he is the 2000’s version of
former UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian, a coach
who did a lot of winning in his day but did it with
his phone number firmly entrenched on the
NCAA’s speed dial.
The question slid off the Wildcats coach as
smoothly as good Kentucky bourbon.
“I respect everything that Jerry did — his kids,
how they played, all those things,” Calipari said.
“But, no, I think I’m the 2011 John Calipari. I
don’t know what that means, and I hate to talk in
the third party. But I am who I am.”
Unlike Calhoun, Calipari has no qualms about
how many of his players have had startlingly
top-seeded Kansas.
The Jayhawks, once the top-ranked team in
the country, managed just 61 points while
shooting 35.5 percent overall and 9.5 percent
from 3-point range, all season lows. After not
trailing by more than two points the entire
tournament, Kansas was down by 17 before
halftime.
Overall, Virginia Commonwealth is allow-
ing an average of 62 points in the tournament,
almost five fewer than their season average.
They’re holding opponents to 39 percent
shooting, well below their season average of
44 percent.
“They keep teams off balance,” said Matt
Howard, Butler’s leading scorer and rebound-
er. “You have to be prepared for multiple
looks. They’re going to press. They’ll play a
little bit of zone. Then they also have a good
man-to-man. I think when you’re really scor-
ing the ball really well, too, that gives you
energy defensively. I think you can make an
argument they’ve scored as well as anybody.
“When you’re able to score and get into
those different defenses, I think that really
helps their defense.”
brief college careers and, indeed, views that as
something of a feather in his cap. He recruits the
best players, replaces them just as quickly —
goodbye John Wall, hello Brandon Knight —
and gets them to accept different, sometimes
uncomfortable roles to come together as a team.
He is back in Houston, where three years ago
he won two games at the regional to lead
Memphis to the Final Four, only to leave that
school a year later, just as the program was run-
ning into NCAA problems involving the recruit-
ment of Derrick Rose.
Calipari’s first Final Four visit, with
Massachusetts back in 1996, also has been
scrubbed by the NCAA. Which led to another
tongue-in-cheek question: How does it feel to be
coaching in your first Final Four?
“I don’t deal with that,” said the 52-year-old
coach, who spent four years in the NBA between
his stints at UMass and Memphis. “We’ve been
here three times. Those players played those

If anyone knows that, it’s Butler.
The Bulldogs are one of the soundest fun-
damental teams in the game — these are the
guys who play in the gym where “Hoosiers”
was filmed, after all. They can shoot, and they
do it quite well. Howard shoots almost 49 per-
cent, while Andrew Smith is averaging almost
9 points a game on 62 percent shooting.
But they came within 2 points of the cham-
pionship last year thanks to downright nasty
defense. Butler shut down K-State’s Jacob
Pullen in the regional final, hounding him into
4-of-13 shooting and four turnovers. It
harassed Michigan State into 16 turnovers in
the Final Four and allowed zero — zip, zilch,
nada — fast-break points.
And when the Bulldogs’ season was on the
verge of slipping away this year with three
straight losses and four in five games, it was
defense, not offense, that turned things
around.
“We really focused on the defensive end of
the floor,” Howard said. “We weren’t guard-
ing the way we normally had, and I think that
was really important for us to get back to
that.”
games and did what they were supposed to. I’m
so proud of what they’ve all accomplished.”
He says this without apology. Though his
schools suffered, Calipari was not found at fault
in either of the NCAA probes.
The so-called problems between Cal and Cal
began during those UMass days, when the
coaches were on top of each other in neighbor-
ing states — one trying to protect his turf and the
other trying to carve out his own. Things got
testy during the recruitment of Marcus Camby,
who wound up choosing UMass and whose
issues there eventually landed the school on pro-
bation.
Both coaches acknowledged the relationship
got off to a rough start.
“I mean, the northeast, you’re so tight, you’re
right on top of each other, that it is a competitive
environment,” Calipari said. “Our radio shows
and television shows are in each other’s states, in
our cities. That’s how it is there.”

I thought that was a great at-bat, probably the

UConn,Stanford hope experience equals wins

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — This is one year when
Connecticut isn’t the only team relying on experi-
ence in the women’s Final Four.
Sure, the Huskies are two-time defending
champions, but is there a point where the law of
averages catches up? Consider:
— Just to get to the championship game,
UConn will have to beat Big East rival Notre
Dame for a fourth time this season, never an easy
task.
— If they do that, they might have to play
Stanford, which has four straight years of Final
Four experience itself, plus confidence from beat-
ing UConn and snapping its 90-game winning
streak earlier this year.
“I think that there’s maybe a certain amount of
more calmness. That’s all I would say having
gone back,” said Stanford coach Tara
VanDerveer. “People know a little bit more what
to expect.”
None of that phases UConn coach Geno
Auriemma.
“One thing is the absolute truth: There’s only
one team playing right now that knows how to
win a national champi-
onship,” he said. “Only a
couple kids playing know
how to win a national cham-
pionship, and I’m fortunate
to have them on my team.”
One of those players is
Maya Moore, a four-time
All-American with 3,000
Tara points and the key to the
VanDerveer Huskies’ unprecedented run
over the past few seasons.
She“s working on adding
three-time national champi-
on to that impressive resume.
“Where does she fit in
among the great ones?
Should we mention her
name? I would say you’re
not going to be able to men-
tion a lot of names before
Geno you get to her name,”
Auriemma Auriemma said. “For sure,
I’m certain of that.”
UConn’s first opponent is a familiar one: Notre
Dame. The two teams played three times this sea-
son and the Irish hung with Connecticut in those
games — including a three-point home loss in
January.
Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw needs only
to look across the bracket for inspiration since
Texas A&M beat Baylor in the regional final after
falling to the Lady Bears three times this season.
“We will definitely reference Texas A&M; the
fourth time’s a charm,” McGraw said. “I think it’s
going to be a mental hurdle to get over. It’s diffi-
cult, I hope, to beat a team four times.”
While her players lack Final Four experience,
McGraw does not. Her Irish team won the nation-
al title in 2001 after knocking off UConn in the
semifinals, but that was Notre Dame’s last trip to
the championship.
In that season, the Irish lost to Connecticut in
the Big East title game on a last-second shot by
Sue Bird.
Notre Dame already has erased one losing
streak by topping Tennessee in the regional final
after dropping 20 straight to the Lady Vols.
Stanford has done only one thing recently in the
Final Four — lose.
The Cardinal haven’t won a title since 1992,
and were beaten by Tennessee in 2008 and
Connecticut last year.
“For Kayla and I and the other seniors, we’re
very focused coming into this Final Four,”
Stanford senior Jeanette Pohlen said, referring to
Kayla Pedersen. “It’s tough making it that far and
not coming away with the national championship.
I think it’s motivating us even more and making
us even more excited because we do know this is
our last chance at it. We’ve gone this far. We’re
just going to give it all we have.”
Texas A&M coach Gary Blair coached
Arkansas to the Final Four in 1998 and down-
played how much the past four trips to the nation-
al semifinals will help the Cardinal.
“The experience factor is in age, and I’m older
than Tara and I’m going to use that to my advan-
tage,” he joked. “That’s the number one thing I’ve
got over her right now. And I don’t think she can
do a thing about that.”
He vowed his team wouldn’t be intimidated by
the hype and flash of the Final Four.
“What we’re going to have to do is put our cell
phones away,” he said. “We’re not going on a
sightseeing trip. We’re not going to look at all of
the statues and stuff. We’re going to win a nation-
al championship.”

isn’t pretty, their 73 runs scored is good for fourth in the divi-
sion. And that has them locked into that second place position
— for the time being.
They have Allen Stiles to thank for that. Stiles is hitting .418
for the season, .431 in division play, good for third. His team-
mate and former Aragon standout Alex Sortwell has seen a
nice return to the Peninsula, driving in 23 runs for the Colts.
But if Cañada is going to make a move to the top and stay
there, they’ll have to do it by improving their pitching. The
Colts are sixth in the conference with a 3.47 team ERA, thanks
in large part to a defense that is ranked sixth in the state. In
conference play, only Ohlone is better at catching the baseball.

Tame bunny tale
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
“Hop” has one of the cutest bunnies you’ll
ever see and plenty of other eye candy among
its computer-generated visuals, yet there’s not
much bounce to the story behind this inter-
species buddy comedy.
Letting bad-boy Russell Brand supply the
voice of the Easter bunny sounds like a prom-
ising way to add spice to a warm and fuzzy
family flick. Too bad the movie winds up
about as bland as carrot-flavored jelly beans.
Its gooey sentiment and hare-brained gags
are likely to appeal only to very young kids.
The filmmakers trip up on their scattered
attempts to inject some hipness to “Hop” for
older children and parents (a bit about a rabbit
apparently cooked in a pot is handled so tepid-
ly, it barely registers as a halfhearted allusion
to the boiled bunny in “Fatal Attraction,”

Easter bunny and ‘Arthur’

LOS ANGELES — A couple years ago,

Brand plays the animated heir to the Easter
Bunny’s throne in the family film “Hop,”
opening Friday. A week later, he takes on the
title role in “Arthur,” a reimagining of the
1981 Dudley Moore classic. Plus he’s writing
and producing — and possibly directing —

Returning to ‘The
Lands Beyond’
By Jeremy Venook
I n my English class, we recently intensi-
fied our long buildup to the AP literature
exam. Along with the multiple choice and
essay questions on preprepared passages that
make up the bulk of the
test, my teacher alerted us
to an essay prompt
designed to trip up those
who merely skim through
their assigned reading: stu-
dents are given a topic and
asked to pick a book “of
literary merit” around
which to base an essay.
The first step for tack-
ling this assignment, my
teacher said, was to have a mental list of novels
that fit that criterion; and so I began cataloguing
my reading by that token — yes for “Cat’s
Cradle” and “Invisible Man,” no to “Harry
Potter” and “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.”
And, though I always knew it would fit on the
latter list, I was always disappointed I couldn’t
make the case for my favorite book, the story
that has perhaps meant more to me than any
other. It was, after all, a children’s book that
taught me the importance of reevaluations.
When I reached for Norton Juster’s “The
Phantom Tollbooth” on the shelf for the second
time, I wasn’t expecting the realization that
came at the end of the 250-page fable on time
well spent in “The Lands Beyond.” I had read
the book only a year before, when I was in sec-
ond grade; I didn’t expect that reading it again
as a third grader would mean much more than a
few hours’ entertainment.
But lo and behold, I made a remarkable dis-
covery — the text may not have changed, but
the story itself seemed a different thing entirely.
Puns leapt from the pages that I now realized
were full to the brim with clever wordplay
(including many subtle jokes that escaped my
notice for many more years of rereading). More
importantly, I discovered morals galore that had
eluded my 7-year-old self but that were clear as
daylight to my 8-year-old self. There were les-
sons to be learned on every page, lessons about
the perils of jumping to conclusions, about the
coexistence of awful din and oppressive, over-
bearing silence, and, most importantly, about
learning.
That day, I made myself a promise that I
have yet to break — once a year, I told myself,
I will take a few hours out of my schedule, no
matter how busy it becomes with theater and
politics and schoolwork, to return to the now-
shabby book that taught me that learning is
anything but a one-time experience. And as I
discovered in the third grade, each passing year
brings me new appreciation for the book that
introduced me to the joys of rereading. One
year, I may discover a new play on words,
something that gives me a knowing chuckle at

By the time he built Tao House,
where he and his third wife,
Carlotta Monterey, resided between
1937 and 1944, playwright Eugene
O’Neill had lived in over 35 differ-
ent places. At Tao House, on a hill-
side overlooking the town of
Danville, O’Neill found a sanctuary,
and its isolation allowed him to
write his best works, including The
Iceman Cometh (1939), Long Day’s
Journey Into Night (1941) and A
Moon for the Misbegotten (1943).
Sadly, although O’Neill called Tao
House ‘my final home and harbor,’
he was eventually forced to leave it
because of health issues and the
pressures of World War II. O’Neill
died in 1953 in Boston at age 65.
Visiting Tao House, which has
been restored by the National Park
Service as it was when O’Neill
lived there, is a wonderful way to
learn about the life and work of one
of America’s most prominent play-
wrights, often considered the father
of modern American drama because
of the uniquely American style of
tragedy he created.
Lead Park Ranger Randy
Harabin, who conducts guided tours
of the site, is enthusiastic about his
work at Tao House. Harabin said,
“The National Park Service pre-
serves this historic site so that the
legacy of America’s only Nobel
Prize winning playwright will be
known to future generations.”
VISITING TAO HOUSE. Tao
House is open Wednesday through
Sunday, with tours daily at 10 a.m.
and 12:30 p.m. Closed Mondays
and Tuesdays, Thanksgiving,
Christmas and New Year’s Day.
Visitation is by reservation only.
Visitors are transported to the site in
a National Park Service shuttle from
the Museum of the San Ramon
Valley, 205 Railroad Ave. in
Danville. Both the tour and shuttle
are free. Be alert for uneven walk-
ing surfaces and stairs on the tour
route. For information call (925)
838-0249 or visit
www.nps.gov/euon.
SATURDAYS WITHOUT
RESERVATIONS. Beginning May
1, no reservations will be required
for visits on Saturdays, when the
shuttle leaves the museum at 10
a.m. 12 p.m. and 2 p.m.
O’NEILL READINGS.
Playwrights’ Theatre mounts
staged-readings of two of O’Neill’s

tions begin at 3 p.m. and last
approximately two hours. Tickets
are $25 for individual performanc-
es, $45 for both. Reservations can
be made at www.eugeneoneill.org
or by calling (925) 820-1818. The

conducted as a joint effort between
the National Park Service and DNC
Parks & Resorts at Yosemite, Inc.,
the park’s main concessionaire.
Completed in 1927, the Ahwahnee
blends an array of design influ-
ences, including Art Deco, Native
American, Middle Eastern and Arts
& Crafts Movement, seen in the
stenciling, woodwork, lighting fix-
tures and china patterns. For the
renovation, Designers Richard
Kollath and Edward McCann
researched Yosemite’s archives to
select textiles and colors comple-
mentary to those used in the hotel
between 1927 and 1942, established
by National Park Service historians
as the period of historic significance
for this living museum of art and

my naivete for having passed it over
all these years; the next year, one of
the book’s better-hidden “teachable”
moments may finally hit its mark
and remind me how much more
there is to understanding than simply
absorbing the obvious and plowing
on ahead.
Alec Bings, a boy who grows
downwards from his birthplace six
feet above the ground, wonders at
the way each passing year and each
revisited experience bring with them
a new perspective and a new appreci-
ation for those of us who grow
upwards. He incredulously asks Milo
if “your head keeps changing its
height and you always see things in a
different way? Why, when you’re 15
things won’t look at all the way they
did when you were 10, and at 20,
everything will change again.” His
words inspired me to take my
Phantom Tollbooth pledge a step fur-
ther, beyond the written page to a
broader kind of revisitation. In the
many years since I first stepped back
into “The Lands Beyond” and dis-
covered a whole new world between
the familiar blue and gold covers, I
have learned that learning means
always taking the time to look back,
no matter how enticing it may be to
look only straight ahead. After all,
you never know what you could gain
from a book you first read way, way
back in the second grade — even if it
isn’t “of literary merit.”

for his irreverent comedic style through standup appearances, TV
and radio hosting gigs, a bestselling memoir and a regular soccer
column in the national newspaper, The Guardian.
He maintained that irreverence when he came to the United
States, referring to President George W. Bush during the MTV
awards as “that retarded cowboy fellow.”
Brand channels the same sense of subversive mischief into his
two latest film roles. In “Hop,” he plays E.B., an animated rabbit
set to inherit Easter duties from his dad, though E.B. would rather
be a drummer in a rock ’n’ roll band. He takes off from his home
on Easter Island through a magic rabbit hole and lands in Los
Angeles, where he befriends slacker Fred O’Hare (James
Marsden) and sets them both on an unexpected course.
In “Arthur,” Brand plays the loveable but irresponsible billion-
aire who whiles away his days drinking and playing with his
expensive toys (including a Batmobile) as his nanny, Hobson
(Helen Mirren), looks after him. Arthur’s all-play, no-work
lifestyle is threatened when his mother gives him an ultimatum:
Marry the corporate executive she’s chosen for him or lose his
inheritance.
The two characters have something in common, Brand says.
“They’re wayward, mischievous spirits that have to grow up,”
he says. “Both characters have got to fulfill duties placed on them
by their parents and both characters want to pursue love, either
their love of drumming in the case of the animated rabbit or their
love of a woman in the case of Arthur.”
Both roles also required a sweetness and sensitivity from
Brand that filmmakers say he hasn’t always shown on screen.
“Arthur” director Jason Winer says Brand is “the one actor on
this planet who could reinvent this character for a new genera-
tion.” Not only does he have the charm and comedic chops to pull
off the part, but “he is someone who has done a lot of soul search-
ing and has actually grounded himself quite a bit,” Winer says.
“I suddenly felt excited by the idea of giving him a role on the
big screen where he got a chance to show people that he has lay-
ers as an actor and that he has that sensitivity, because I don’t
think either through his standup or his two American movies peo-
ple have seen that side of him,” he says.

Miguel Covarrubias (1904 - 1957)
was a Mexican painter, ethnologist and
art historian. A man of many talents
who worked in many media, including
oil, pen and ink and watercolor,
Covarrubias became one of Vanity Fair
magazine’s premier caricaturists as well
as a designer of sets and costumes for
the theater, including La Revue Negre,
the show that made Josephine Baker a
smash in Paris. The broad range of
Covarrubias’ interests and creativity
can be seen by visiting his work now on
display in three different venues in San
Francisco.
Covarrubias at the Consulate General
of Mexico.
“Los Covarrubias,” a retrospective at
the Consulate General of Mexico, dis-
plays drawings and paintings by both
Covarrubias and his wife, Rosa
(Rolando). The exhibit, developed by
Jimena Motta, a graduate student com-
pleting her Masters in Museum Studies
at San Francisco State University, is
comprised of 18 pieces owned by San
Francisco collector Adriana Williams
and four from The Mexican Museum,
which collectively reflect the couple’s
interest in many cultures, including the
south of Mexico, Bali, New York’s
Harlem and ancient civilizations,
including the Olmecs. Commenting on
the development of the show, Curator
Motta noted, “What really got my
attention was to realize that Los
Covarrubias are well known in the
USA, but not in Mexico. I think this is
a great opportunity for everyone, but
especially for Mexicans, to learn about
two artists that loved Mexico, and that
did so much for the country through
their research and other projects.”
Consulate Cultural Attachée Marimar
Suárez Peñalva added, “The Consulate
General of Mexico in San Francisco is
pleased to have this exhibition in its
gallery. It is one of our priorities to sup-
port young Mexican artists and curators
and to promote their work in this space.
Also, we are pleased to show the work
of such great Mexican artists to the pub-
lic of the Bay Area.” The Consulate-
General of Mexico in San Francisco is
located at 532 Folsom St. The Gallery
is open to the general public Monday to
Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. “Los
Covarrubias” runs through April 29.
(415) 354-1720. Free.
Covarrubias at the de Young
Museum.
Covarrubias created six murals for
the 1939 Golden Gate International
Exposition on Treasure Island. The
mural set featured oversized, illustrated
maps, the largest of which, The Fauna
and Flora of the Pacific, can be seen in
the Art of the Americas galleries at the
de Young Museum in Golden Gate
Park. The mural, measuring 15 feet by
24 feet, depicts the four Pacific Rim
continents suspended in a swirling blue
Pacific Ocean populated with sea crea-
tures. Covarrubias is also known for his
analysis of the pre-Columbian art of
Mesoamerica, particularly that of the
Olmec culture. His chart analyzing
Olmec iconography is displayed as part
of the de Young’s current “Olmec:
Colossal Masterworks of Ancient
Mexico” exhibit, which runs through
May 8. 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive.
(415) 750-3600 or www.deyoungmuse-
um.org.
Covarrubias at the Asian Art
Museum.
In 1930 and 1933, Covarrubias and
his wife took trips to Bali, where they
immersed themselves in the local cul-
ture, language and customs, and his
1937 book, Island of Bali, is an impor-
tant source of information about Bali in
that decade. Examples of Covarrubias’
artwork from that period can be seen in
“Bali: Art, Ritual, Performance,” at the
Asian Art Museum through Sept. 11.
On display are his intriguing painting
Tanah Bali (“Land of Bali”), in which
Covarrubias illustrates the defining
geographical features of the island, and
his watercolors, Burial bulls and
Barong landung figures. 200 Larkin St.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
FIRE
Continued from page 1
mitting a deal with its provider, Cal Fire.
In the time since, the county said no on
a proposal and supervisors Carole
Groom and Adrienne Tissier pushed
mediation between the two cities, and
some city officials are given greater con-
sideration to the expensive idea of going
it alone.
If the private company’s bid wins out,
though, a San Carlos Fire Department
may be more cost-efficient, said Vice
Mayor Andy Klein.
Fire union Local 2400 is opposed to a
private option, much as it balked at the
idea of a state contract, but Klein said
the irony is its pushing of the county to
drag its feet allowed other possible bids
time to come in.
“They shot themselves in the foot,”
Klein said.
In a March 3 memo to San Carlos City
Manager Jeff Maltbie, union President
Ed Hawkins said the only savings a pri-
vate company can manage is by employ-
ing fewer people and paying them below
a living wage. There would be an
“inevitable” significant reduction in
service quality, Hawkins wrote.
He also called privatization of a pub-
licly funded service anti-democratic
because taxpayers can’t petition for
redress of grievances.
“Privatization is a poor choice for San
Carlos and the citizens would suffer the
consequences,” Hawkins wrote.
ATTACK
Continued from page 1
Two men in Dodgers clothing were
exchanging barbed comments with three
men in Giants gear as thousands of base-
ball fans left the stadium after Thursday
night’s 2-1 Dodger victory, Detective
T.J. Moore said.
The Giants fans tried to distance them-
selves from their assailants, and two
made it away from them, but one was
struck with fists on the back of the head
and as he fell, his head hit the ground in
Parking Lot 2 on the third base side of
the ballpark, Moore said.
Both attackers then kicked the victim,
who suffered a head injury, and ran,
Moore said. When the victim’s friends
turned around to look for him, they saw
him on the ground and made their way
back to him.
Police paramedics on bicycles were
the first to arrive to help the victim. An
ambulance was called and the victim
was taken to a nearby hospital, Moore
said.
He remained in critical but stable con-

Halleran said. The case should be sub-
mitted to the District Attorney’s Office
by Monday morning to determine what
charges, if any, should be filed, said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Meanwhile, Hajiyeva is also awaiting
trial on an earlier alleged DUI from
October in which her blood alcohol level
was .24. Hajiyeva has pleaded not guilty
in that misdemeanor case and was free
from custody on her own recognizance.
Trial is scheduled for June 20.
Meanwhile, both San Carlos and
Belmont have agreed to try mediation
overseen by a retired judge named by the
county. In its closed session Monday, the
San Carlos City Council named Mayor
Omar Ahmad and Councilman Randy
Royce to its mediation team.
There is still no word on when media-
tion will happen, Royce said.
Whatever the outcome, San Carlos —
and Belmont — are closing in on the
Oct. 13 dissolution of its joint depart-
ment. While the two cities could decide
to make a go of the joint powers author-
ity, the funding runs out after that date,
said Moura.
Funding has been the big sticking
point between the two cities. While
Belmont has a dedicated revenue stream
for fire service, San Carlos must dip into
its general fund which officials say is no
longer affordable. Previous efforts to
tweak the funding formula were
rebuffed by Belmont, leading to the San
Carlos City Council’s decision to part
ways.
Although Belmont grudgingly agreed
to mediation, it is still moving toward a
stand-alone department.
In his memo, Hawkins suggests the
joint powers authority return to the 50-
50 funding formula and consider
restructuring management by retaining
its fire marshal and fire prevention staff
but get other managers from a neighbor-
ing department.
The option could save San Carlos
alone $600,000 or $1.2 million for the
JPA collectively, Hawkins wrote.
But at least Klein said he doesn’t put
dition Friday, the detective said. The vic-
tim has been identified, but his name was
being withheld until police can talk to
relatives, Moore said. Because his
injuries were so severe, detectives had
not yet talked to him, he said.
Investigators were reviewing footage
to see if any security camera captured
the attack, but Detective Larry Burcher
said so far they’d found “nothing of
great value.”
Stow’s brother-in-law, David Collins,
told KGO that Stow has “swelling of the
brain, a fractured skull and ... a frontal
lobe that’s bruised pretty badly.”
“It’s sad,” Giants manager Bruce
Bochy said before Friday’s game against
the Dodgers. “It’s a shame somebody’s
in critical condition because of a ball
game. When they’re out fighting in the
parking lot, we’ve lost sight of what this
is all about. Sounds like the guy got
blindsided, too.”
Moore said no one in the crowd had
come forward with any cellphone or
camera footage, but also noted that there
were so many people in the area that 90
percent of the crowd may not have even
known what was going on.
“I was disappointed,” new Dodgers
manager Don Mattingly said. “You don’t

“Out of those two schools, the girls put

Carlmont’s squad, which returned to
competition this year after a 10-year
break, earned 22nd in the large interme-
diate division, said coach Jelica Baker.
Baker called the experience an overall

much stock in Hawkins’ numbers and
believes the city is better off looking at
the other options.
The city of San Carlos began last year
dissolving its fire service joint powers
authority with the city of Belmont in
hopes of stemming a decade of cuts and
plugging a $3.5 million deficit. City
leaders have already outsourced its
entire police department as well as parks
maintenance and payroll. Fire service
costs the city $6.3 million annually,
which officials said is just too much.
Belmont Councilman Dave Warden has
called the money concerns a “red her-
ring” to break up the JPA because the
amount saved would be nominal com-
pared to what is needed.
He and Mayor Coralin Feierbach
voted against mediation.
Although the county never submitted a
formal proposal, a preliminary penciling
out showed contract options ranging
from $3.8 million to $5.7 million per
year, depending upon the size of the
staff, whether salaries are frozen and the
inclusion of the hazardous materials
unit.
The cheapest choice would have
spared the city of San Carlos millions of
dollars and save the county $650,000.
After hearing from Cal Fire that a
regional department could save up to
$17 million for all cities involved, the
supervisors’ finance subcommittee
believed a better approach would be to
tell Belmont and San Carlos to try work-
ing out its problems while the county
worked on its own regional approach
outside of their situation.
want to see that. Everyone likes rivalries,
but to me that’s crossing the line.”
The Dodgers said they were cooperat-
ing with investigators and wished the
victim a speedy recovery.
“It is extremely unfortunate that this
incident took place on what was other-
wise a great day at Dodgers Stadium for
tens of thousands of fans,” the team said
in a statement. “We’re committed to hav-
ing the most fan and family friendly
environment in baseball and will contin-
ue to make that a top priority.”
The stadium has been plagued by
opening day violence in the past.
In April 2009, a man stabbed his
friend in the stadium parking lot after the
home opener, in which the Dodgers beat
the Giants 11-1. Arthur Alvarez was
arrested and charged with assault with a
deadly weapon. Alvarez, who contended
that he was knocked to the ground and
acted in self-defense, was later acquitted
by a jury.
The West Coast rivalry began on April
18, 1958, the first game played in
California after both teams had moved
from New York. The Dodgers beat the
Giants 6-5 in a game played before near-
ly 79,000 fans at Los Angeles Memorial
Coliseum.

In the year ahead, you could develop a whole new
group of friends through a novel interest of yours.
Both they and your newfound activity will greatly ex-
pand your social life as well as your view of the world.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you know what you
want and why you want to do it, you can establish
better goals for yourself. If not, it’s likely the objec-
tives you set will turn out to be counterproductive.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you keep your think-
ing positive, your excellent imagination can work
wonders for you. Just remember that negative think-
ing can work against you with equal efficiency.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Steer clear of any type
of joint financial endeavor with an individual or a firm
whose reputation is questionable. The prospective
deal is likely to be a bummer.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Although you usually
get along rather well with others, today could be an
exception. One way to offset this is to be a good
listener and let everyone else do all the talking.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Generally you’re pretty good

Disciplined Libyan opposition force emerging
Senate did favor Libya no-fly zone
By Donna Cassata
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Some law-
makers are grousing loudly that
President Barack Obama sent the
nation’s military to Libya without
Congress’ blessing.
They’re ignoring a key fact: The
Senate a month ago voted to sup-
port imposing a no-fly zone to pro-
tect civilians from attacks by Col.
Moammar Gadhafi’s forces.
With no objections, the Senate on
March 1 backed a resolution
strongly condemning “the gross
and systematic violations of human
rights in Libya” and urging the
U.N. Security Council to take
action, “including the possible
imposition of a no-fly zone over
Libyan territory.”
There was no recorded vote. It
was simply approved by unani-
mous consent.
No one in Washington is inter-
preting that resolution as a full-
blown authorization for military
action, especially as the no-fly zone
expanded to airstrikes on Gadhafi’s
tanks and munitions sites. But the
measure undercuts the congres-
sional criticism that Obama was
totally off on his own. Defense
Secretary Robert Gates pointedly
reminded lawmakers of that during
his marathon testimony on
Thursday.
“There have been a lot of con-
cerns expressed about the consulta-
tion with the Congress, but in its
own way, the Congress consulted
with the president, and particularly
this body that unanimously in a res-
olution called for the imposition of
a no-fly zone,” Gates told the
Senate Armed Services Committee.
Not so, said Sen. Susan Collins,
R-Maine.
She argued that the resolution
was limited, praising the courage of
the Libyan people, calling on
Gadhafi to stop the attacks and wel-
coming a vote in the U.N. Security
Council. Reciting the phrase on the
no-fly zone, she said it was “the
only part that’s even tangentially on
this issue” and was “pretty weak
language in terms of authorizing
the United States.”

By Ben Hubbard
and Ryan Lucas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AJDABIYA, Libya — Something
new has appeared at the Libyan
front: a semblance of order among
rebel forces.
Rebels without training — some-
times even without weapons —
have rushed in and out of fighting in
a free-for-all for weeks, repeatedly
getting trounced by Moammar
Gadhafi’s more heavily armed
forces. But on Friday only former
military officers and the lightly
trained volunteers serving under
them are allowed on the front lines.
Some are recent arrivals, hoping to
rally against forces loyal to the
Libyan leader who have pushed
rebels back about 100 miles this
week.
The better organized fighters,
unlike some of their predecessors,
can tell the difference between
incoming and outgoing fire. They
know how to avoid sticking to the
roads, a weakness in the untrained
forces that Gadhafi’s troops have
exploited. And they know how to
take orders.
“The problem with the young
untrained guys
is they’ll weak-
en us at the
front, so we’re
trying to use
them as a back-
up force,” said
Mohammed
Majah, 33, a
Moammar former ser-
geant.
Gadhafi
“They don’t
even know how to use weapons.
They have great enthusiasm, but
that’s not enough now,” he said.
Majah said the only people at the
front now are former soldiers,
“experienced guys who have been
in reserves, and about 20 percent
are young revolutionaries who have
been in training and are in organ-
ized units.”
The greater organization was a
sign that military forces that split
from the regime to join the rebel-
lion were finally taking a greater
role in the fight after weeks trying
to organize. Fighters cheered
Friday as one of their top com-
manders — former Interior
Minister Abdel-Fattah Younis —
drove by in a convoy toward the
front.

Thousands call for trials
of Egypt regime figures
CAIRO — Egyptians returned in
their thousands to Cairo’s Tahrir
Square on
Friday to
demand that for-
mer President
Hosni Mubarak
and members of
his ousted
regime be
brought to trial
face accusations Hosni Mubarak
of corruption,
vote-rigging and abuse of dissidents.
Such prosecutions are a central
aim of the 18-day popular move-
ment that toppled Mubarak on Feb.
11 after nearly three decades of
autocratic rule, both to heal old
wounds and to try to ensure the ex-
officials don’t creep back to power.
Many in Egypt’s pro-reform camp
say the current military rulers are
not moving fast enough to meet
those and other demands to trans-
form their country’s politics.
Egyptian prosecutors are going
after top figures in the former
regime and others associated with it,
including businessmen, politicians
and security officials.
