School district prepping for cuts
Millbrae exploring school closure,shared principals,furlough days
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Closing a school, sharing principals, losing
crossing guards, the need for furlough days
and increased class sizes are all on the table
for the Millbrae Elementary School District as
it contends with a $1.9 million budget hole.
Millbrae is currently operating with a budg-
et with $16.3 million in revenue and $16.6
million in expenditures. This year’s deficit
coupled with the loss of state funds means the
district is preparing for nearly $2 million in
cuts.
“We’re in a real tough spot,” said board
President D. Don Revelo.
Millbrae, like all California school districts,
had hoped tax extensions proposed by Gov.
Jerry Brown to maintain education funding
would be passed. However, Brown announced
Tuesday negotiations for such a ballot meas-
ure were halted, meaning there would likely
be more cuts rather than less.
“We’re going to do the best we can with
what we have,” said Superintendent Linda
Luna. “We all have to come together as a city
to make this work.”
Making it work will require cuts. Last year,
there were options. This year, there isn’t much
left to cut, Luna said.
Ruling: California can
mandate cleaner ship fuels
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal court has
decided California officials have the authority
to require ships that stop in the state’s ports to
use cleaner marine fuels to reduce pollution
from engine exhaust.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled
unanimously Wednesday in favor of the Vessel
Fuel Rules, which mandate that ship operators
LOCAL
“We’re going to do the best we
can with what we have....We all have
to come together as a city to make this work.”
Millbrae is one of the smaller districts in the
county looking at possible cuts to an already
bare budget. Without the passage of the June
tax rate, Millbrae is anticipating to lose at
least $349 per student, which would be a loss
of $780,000, according to a staff report by
interim chief business officials Michele
Dodge and Paul Disario.
There are many challenges when it comes to
implementing any of the proposals as most
ideas will require negotiations with employ-
ees for approval.
Furloughs, increased class sizes or a 1 per-
cent salary cut, for example, would require
employee approval. Contracts, however, can-
not currently be reopened.
The district sent out possible pink slips
already to 8.5 full-time equivalent positions

Brown acted after state officials reported
the water content in the Sierra snowpack at
165 percent of normal for this time of year.
That is one of the wettest winters since 1970,
according to the state Department of Water
Resources.
It trails only 1983, when the water content
in the snowpack was 227 percent of normal,
and 1995, which was 182 percent of the aver-

The wet winter means state and federal

water to urban and agricultural areas as the

The Sierra snowpack is crucial for
California’s water supply. As it melts, it feeds

Biden sees progress on budget talks
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe
Biden reported “good progress” Wednesday in
budget talks to prevent a government shut-
down next week as congressional negotiators
began work on a proposal for around $33 bil-
lion in spending cuts over the next six months
— considerably less than tea party activists
demanded.
“There’s no reason why, with all that’s going
on in the world and with the state of the econ-
omy, that we can’t avoid a government shut-
down,” Biden told reporters after a meeting in
the Capitol with Senate Democratic leaders.

U.S.oil imports declining
Obama’s goal to reduce outside fuel need is well within reach
By Jonathan Fahey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — When President Obama
called for reducing the nation’s oil imports by
one-third by 2025 in a speech Wednesday, he
echoed similar goals — still unfulfilled — set
by every president since Richard Nixon.
This time, though, it might just work.
The reason: The country is already well on
its way to meeting Obama’s goal. More fuel
efficient cars, mandates to use biofuels, and
high prices are cutting into gasoline demand.
Meanwhile, domestic oil production rose in
consecutive years after two decades of
declines thanks to new discoveries in shale
deposits throughout the West.
A one-third reduction in oil is not only pos-
sible, it’s beatable, analysts say.
“We could cut our imports in half. It’s very
doable,” says Fadel Gheit, an analyst at
Oppenheimer & Co.
In recent years the U.S. has been producing
more of its own oil while also using less. Both
trends are expected to continue. Oil imports
have fallen 25 percent since 2005 when the
nation imported a record 12.5 million barrels
of oil per day.
It helps that the president gave himself a
head start toward his goal — he wants a one-
third reduction from 2008 levels. The eco-
nomic crisis reduced demand for oil, and
therefore imports. Imports have fallen 15 per-
cent since 2008, from 11.1 million barrels per
day to 9.4 million barrels per day in 2010.
In order to reach the President’s goal,
Egypt’s presidential vote to be held by November
By Maggie Michael
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO — Egypt’s military rulers said on
Wednesday that the country’s first presiden-
tial elections since the ouster of longtime
ruler Hosni Mubarak will be held by
November, giving the country’s emerging
political groups up to eight months to organ-
ize.
The announcement comes 10 days after
Egyptian voters overwhelmingly approved a
reform package of constitutional amend-
ments, but many critics fear the rapid
timetable for elections would give a signifi-
cant advantage to the most organized political
forces in the country, namely the Muslim
Brotherhood and members of the former rul-
NATION/WORLD
Barack Obama delivers remarks on his energy strategy at in Washington,D.C.
imports must fall another 2 million barrels per
day, to 7.4 million barrels per day. If he start-
ed with 2010 numbers, imports would have to
drop to 6.3 million barrels per day.
In 2010, U.S. oil production grew for the
second year in a row after 23 years of decline.
That’s largely because engineers have recent-
ly been able to tap once-unreachable fields of
oil in shale deposits in North Dakota, Texas,
New Mexico, Wyoming, California and other
parts of the West.
These shale deposits could contribute an
ing party — rather then the newly emerging
forces, especially among the youth, involved
in the uprising.
The news came as the military’s announced
a new 62-article interim constitution to
replace the one suspended after the fall of
Mubarak’s regime on Feb. 11 in a popular
uprising that rocked the region. By giving a
timetable for parliament and presidential
elections, the army backed up its earlier com-
mitment to swiftly transfer power to a civilian
democratic authority.
The presidential elections will be a held a
month or two after September’s parliamen-
tary contests, the military said.

additional 2 million barrels of oil per day by
2015, according to Rehan Rashid, an analyst
at FBR Capital markets. If that comes true, the
U.S. could hit Obama’s goal 10 years before
the deadline.
Analysts also expect oil production from the
Gulf of Mexico to grow as drilling resumes
after a pause prompted by the BP oil spill.
The nation is using less gasoline because
fuel economy of cars and truck is improving,
prices are high and refiners are required to
blend ever more biofuels into gasoline.
ElBaradei, Arab League chief Amr Moussa,
and longtime left-wing opposition politician
Hamdeen Sabahi. Egypt’s Muslim
Brotherhood, the country’s most organized
group, said it will not nominate a candidate in
the presidential elections.
The interim constitution stipulates the
creation of a committee of 100 legal
experts, academics, politicians and profes-
sionals to be selected by the newly elected
parliament to draft a new constitution,
which would then be approved by a referen-
dum.
Despite demands by many of the youth
groups behind the 18-day uprising, the new
parliament will keep a 50 percent quota of
seats allocated to “farmers and workers,” a
holdover from the country’s socialist past.

Around the nation
Wis.GOP pressing ahead
with anti-union law
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin’s
Republican leaders appear to be taking the
same confident and bullish approach to imple-
menting their divisive collective bargaining
law that they took to passing it, suggesting
they may ignore a judge’s warning that there
would be consequences to moving ahead while
challenges to the law are pending.
Gov. Scott Walker and his allies in the
Republican-controlled Legislature believe
they are on solid legal ground as they push
forth on a course that could deepen an already
toxic crisis in the state’s government.
Sidestepping Democratic state senators
playing hooky to block the law’s passage may
have angered their political opponents, but
defying a judge’s orders — however imprecise
— could put GOP lawmakers and state offi-
cials at risk of being found in contempt and
could lend weight to accusations that the
Republicans consider themselves above the
law.
Ohio House OKs
collective bargaining limits
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Labor stronghold
Ohio assumed center stage Wednesday in the
battle over collective bargaining rights for pub-
lic workers as the state Legislature was poised
to send to the governor a bill that was in some
ways tougher than that seen in Wisconsin.
The measure awaited likely passage in the
Republican-controlled state Senate on
Wednesday evening after it earlier cleared the
GOP-led House on a 53-44 vote.
Chants of “Shame on you!” quickly broke
out from onlookers in the House balcony after
the vote there.
About 150 protesters then filtered into the
Senate chamber, singing “We shall not be
moved” and shouting “Power to the people!”
Unlike Wisconsin’s measure, the Ohio legis-
lation would extend union restrictions to
police officers and firefighters.

How MTC can help Caltrain
Editor,
Good news, that a Bay Area author-
ity has stepped in to help save
Caltrain. The Metropolitan
Transportation Commission seeks
ways to cope with the carrier’s budget
emergency — ways other than allow-
ing it to implode, a fate likely under a
Caltrain plan to lop all but rush-hour
service to a handful of Peninsula sta-
tions.
To reduce Caltrain’s $30 million
deficit calls for more than nibbling at
peripherals. CEO Mike Scanlon says
budget woes stem from BART’s prior
claim on San Mateo County trans-
portation funds. What could go to
Caltrain instead pays BART’s operat-
ing costs between Colma and
Millbrae. In turn, that lowers Caltrain
funding from San Francisco and Santa
Clara counties. MTC has the funding
clout to say that Caltrain’s emergency
merits an emergency response. They
can act to limit diversion of funds to
BART, if not declare a moratorium
while Caltrain puts its house in order.
There is solid ground to do so:
BART’s Peninsula extension, project-
ed to become a money-maker, has
fallen short, thus increasing our coun-
ty’s payments at Caltrain’s expense.
MTC should explore why Caltrain
hasn’t tapped brimming ridership
beyond San Jose. Monterey County,
now a bedroom for Silicon Valley,
wants commuter service to Salinas. It
would reduce air pollution from oft-
clogged Highway 101. San Benito and
Santa Cruz counties both bulge with
commuters who could shuttle to
trains. Why is Caltrain, equipped to
provide regional service, confined to

Mondale, Jimmy Carter’s vice presi-

to bring attention to the ticket. Ferraro
proved to be a formidable campaigner,
though she was questioned about issues
in ways that a female candidate would

Budget problems prompt
need for structural change
Editor,
Redwood City’s budget difficulties
include skyrocketing employee costs;
increases in operating expenses; flat
revenues; a stagnant economy; and the
necessity for significant reductions in
expenditures. With fewer staff than we
had 10 years ago, and while working
to generate new revenue and improve
efficiencies, we must address the
underlying structural problems with
our budget.
Using one-time funds, such as
reserves or gifts, only delays the need
for fiscal reform. If we use reserves to
balance our budget, at the end of three
years they’d be exhausted and we’d
still be facing a deficit the following
years. In the past, reserves were used
to endure temporary revenue reduc-
tions and buy time as the financial tide
turned. Today’s financial environment
is different, requiring permanent struc-
tural change in our expenditures.
In the same manner, using bequeaths
or other one-time funds for ongoing
operations merely postpones the
inevitable. Once those funds are gone,
they’re gone — but our day-to-day
services must continue. That path is
unsustainable and will lead to a col-
lapse when the dollars run out and
we’re left with providing services we
can’t continue to fund. In fact, sup-

But it’s fair to say that Ferraro’s can-

seek office, and it also diluted at least
some of the old-fashioned chauvinism
that was not too far under the surface in
national politics. After all, women real-
ly have come to the forefront as candi-
dates for major political office and for
judgeships in fairly recent history.

The growing ‘New Axis’
Editor,
This war isn’t just about
Afghanistan and Iraq. It’s about the
whole new axis and it shows no sight
of going away. New axis is a term
coined in 1996 to refer to
Washington’s then known enemies.
Now it is at least 15: Iran, North
Korea, Serbia, Syria, Libya, China,
Chechnya, Sudan, Venezula and
Uzbekistan, plus sizable groups in
Russia, Pakistan, Belarut, Iraq and
Afghanistan. Some hate each other,
but they hate Washington more, and in
operation against Washington, they are
known to assist each other. The eco-
nomics and investment effect will con-
tinue long after the war does.

Do you believe
in miracles?
“W
e are good at teaching technological skills,
but when it comes to the more important
things, like character, we have nothing to
say.” — David Brooks, “The Social Animal.”
Every year after the Bay to Breakers race, there’s been a big
fuss over the way the route has been trashed by the partici-
pants. It hasn’t made any dif-
ference. Of course, it’s not
fair for those who behave
themselves to be denied the
fun of the “race” because of
the miscreants, but it’s also
not fair that the yards of
those who live along the
route are trashed so callously.
This is the behavior of 2- and
3-year-olds — not something
that we should tolerate for a
minute from supposedly
grown adults.
This year the Bay to
Breakers will get another
chance. Zazzle of Redwood
City has become the new title
sponsor and claims they will see that more security and more

Nevius of The Chronicle wrote: “over the past decade, the
Bay to Breakers racers broke the ‘social contract’ that would
keep their behavior acceptable and the race a more family
friendly event.” But do these immature boys (it’s mostly
males) who so cavalierly disregard social niceties have any
clue about a “social contract?”
You’ve got to feel for those who live along the route. You
can’t blame them for being outraged by the inconsiderate and
childish behavior of the participants who urinate on their
property and dump the huge amount of trash along the route.
And you can’t help but be thoroughly disgusted by people
who are so immature, selfish and lacking in any social respon-
sibility. So how did they get this way? This question is impor-
tant because the answer gives us one clue as to how the break-
down of our culture has manifested itself in the last few
decades.
This made me think of a book I read recently titled,
“Manning Up” by Kay S. Hymowitz. She explores the recent
phenomena of so many young people (mostly males) growing
up so immature and self-obsessed that they are without con-
sideration for others and feel no responsibility for their
actions. (Of course, alcohol is involved, but isn’t that just
another way they aid and abet their immaturity?) Hymowitz
thinks a new life stage called “preadulthhood” (basically from
around 20 to the early 30s) has had a lot to do with this. She
writes, “As with adolescents in the 20th century, preadults
have been waitlisted for adulthood. Preadulthood is also a
response to particular social and economic conditions that cre-
ate much uncertainty and angst. A demanding economy
lengthens adolescence, already an extension of childhood, into
a decade or more of preadulthood.” And, she adds, “Men may
have lost the clarity of previous eras’ scripts for growing up,
but that does not mean that the only alternative is to hang out
in a playground of drinking, hooking up, playing “Halo 3” and
underachieving.” (And trashing the Bay to Breakers route).
But then you think, “Why shouldn’t it happen?” When you
consider how kids have been raised (or not) during the recent
decades and what kind of media that is regularly in their faces,
what types of adults they’ve had to emulate, the lack of rea-
sonable standards of behavior among the above, is it so unbe-
lievable? Add to that a culture that encourages “grab what you
can while you can” and “no one matters but you.”
A child learns to be thoughtful and considerate by being
treated that way and having good role models while being
firmly, but kindly, corrected when he doesn’t act accordingly.
This builds a healthy kind of self-esteem that prevents such
Bay to Breakers behavior. We all need the kind of self-esteem
that makes us so secure in ourselves that we are considerate
and thoughtful of others. With healthy self-esteem, we possess
a kind of humility that prevents us from believing that we are
so special that no one else matters. Healthy self-esteem isn’t
“Look at me! Here I am! Aren’t I wonderful?” like most in the
entertainment business. It isn’t believing that you are “the
best” and therefore you are superior to everyone else so you
don’t have to follow the rules.
In its way, the Bay to Breakers race is a manifestation of the
failure of our modern culture to provide the kind of guidance
that young people need to grow up into adults who lead pro-
ductive and satisfying lives. David Brooks, writes of “a cultur-
al revolution that has decimated old habits and traditional fam-
ily structures.” He says, “The web of relationships that habitu-
ate self-restraint, respect for others and social sympathy (have)
lost their power.”
It will be interesting to see what transpires this year on May
15 — the 100th anniversary of Bay to Breakers. Let’s hope for
a miracle!

NEW YORK — Telecommunications
companies led a broad stock rally
Wednesday following a report that private
companies are continuing to add workers.
All ten sectors of the benchmark
Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose. AT&T
Inc. led the 30 stocks that make up the
Dow Jones industrial average with a 2.2
percent gain.
The Dow gained 71.60 points, or 0.6
percent, to 12,350.61. The S&P index
rose 8.82, or 0.7 percent, to 1,328.26. The
Nasdaq composite rose 19.90, or 0.7 per-
cent, to 2,776.79.
The ADP National Employment Report
said 201,000 new private sector jobs were
added in March. That is roughly in line
with the 210,000 analysts had expected.
Investors were encouraged by a strong
gain in small business hiring, said Ryan
Detrick, a strategist at Schaeffer’s
Investment Research.
The report showed “that things are not
as bleak as they seemed a few weeks
ago,” Detrick said.
The ADP report is seen as a precursor
to the government’s March payrolls
report due Friday, but the two reports
don’t always paint the same picture of the
Wall Street
overall labor market.
Cephalon Inc. surged 28 percent, the
most of any stock in the S&P index, after
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International
offered to take over the biopharmaceuti-
cal company for $5.7 billion in cash.
Valeant, based in Canada, rose 12 per-
cent. The takeover bid is the latest in a
string of deal-related news, another posi-
tive sign for investors.
“It shows that companies still think
there are some good deals out there,” said
Detrick. “If they are willing to pay a pre-
mium, that’s a good sign for the overall
stock market.”
The market plodded higher against a
backdrop of unsettling international
news. Concerns about European debt
loomed as Portugal moved closer to need-
ing a bailout and Spain’s central bank
forecast a lower growth rate and higher
deficit than previously predicted.
Seawater near Japan’s crippled nuclear
facility tested at its highest radiation lev-
els yet and the plant’s owner publicly
acknowledged that four of six nuclear
reactors would have to be decommis-
sioned. In Libya, NATO forces initiated a
new wave of airstrikes against Gadhafi’s
troops.

Google brings high-speed network to Kansas

By Maria Sudekum Fisher
and Jolle Tessler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — After seeing
Facebook pleas and flash mobs, and
even cities temporarily renaming them-
selves “Google,” the search engine giant
said Wednesday it has chosen Kansas
City, Kan., as the first place that will get
its new ultra-fast broadband network.
Google announced that the city would
be the inaugural site for its “Fiber for
Communities” program, which it says
will be capable of delivering Internet
access more than 100 times faster than
the home broadband connections pro-
vided by phone and cable companies
across the U.S.
The company envisions systems that
will let consumers to download a high-
definition, full-length feature film in less
than five minutes, allow rural health
clinics to send 3-D medical images over
the Internet and let students collaborate
with classmates around the world while
watching live 3-D video of a university
lecture.
Google’s service, which will provide
Internet connections of 1 gigabit per sec-
ond to as many as 500,000 people, will
be offered in early 2012 while the com-
pany looks at other communities across
the country.
More than 1,100 cities had made bids
to become a test site for the company’s
fiber-optic network, trying to catch
Google’s attention and show their enthu-
siasm.
Milo Medin, Google’s vice president
for access services, said Kansas City,
Kan., was selected in part because of its
solid network infrastructure and because
the program would have an impact on
the community, one of the poorest in the
state.
“We believe gigabit broadband can be
leveraged for economic development
and educational gain, both of which are
vital in the global economy that we live
in today,’” Medin said.

Google reaches privacy settlement with FTC
WASHINGTON — Google has agreed to adopt a compre-
hensive privacy program to settle federal charges that it
deceived users and violated its own privacy policy when it
launched a social networking service called Buzz last year.
The search giant triggered a fierce user backlash when it
integrated Buzz into its Gmail email service in February 2010.
The service automatically created public circles of friends for
users based on their most frequent Gmail contacts. But many
users complained that they didn’t want all their email contacts
— which could include ex-spouses, doctors, employers and
recruiters — to become part of a social network for anyone to
see.
The settlement announced Wednesday with the Federal
Trade Commission requires Google to study both its existing
services and any new services it launches to determine if they
pose risks to user privacy — and develop policies to address
those risks if they do.
The settlement mandates independent audits to oversee and
verify Google’s privacy program every other year for the next
20 years. The settlement also requires Google to obtain user
consent before sharing consumer information with third parties
if it alters a service to use the data in a way that would violate
its existing privacy policy.

Gilead Sciences signs research deal with Yale

FOSTER CITY — Gilead Sciences Inc. said Wednesday it
signed a multiyear research collaboration with Yale School of
Medicine, focusing on potential cancer treatments.
The biopharmaceutical company will provide $40 million in
research support and basic science infrastructure development
during the initial four-year period, and will provide a total of
up to an additional $100 million over 10 years if an option to
renew the collaboration is exercised.
Gilead, which sells HIV treatments such as Atripla and
Truvada, will have the first option to license Yale inventions
that result from the collaboration.
In morning trading, shares of Gilead Sciences added 68
cents to $42.73.

Errors kill Serra
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
On most days, a quick glance at a
baseball scoreboard will tell you all
you need to know about a game.
The first number in the “totals”
section will tell you the who, the
second the how and if the last one
happens to be a big, crooked num-
ber, it will tell you the why.
The Serra Padres know that all too
well — on paper, yesterday’s ball
game against the struggling
Bellarmine Bells should have been a
relatively easy win.
But why they lost 8-3 to the team
from San Jose previously winless in
the West Catholic Athletic League
can be explained by glancing at the
scoreboard and looking at the num-
ber seven, as in seven Serra errors.
“The scoreboard said it,” said
Padres manager Craig Gianinno,
“we got to play catch, we have go to
get better, bottom line. It’s disap-
pointing. But our guys are resilient
and they’re going to bounce back.
We’re going to be back to practice,
we’re going to get back to basics
and we got to get better. We just
cannot afford to extend innings.”
The Padres survived being
shutout by the Bells by putting up
three runs in the bottom of the 6th.
But for the game, they only man-
aged five hits and went down in
order in five of their seven innings.
Most of that can be attributed to
the pitching of Bellarmine starter
Christian Celicio who went six
innings, allowing those five hits and
three earned runs.
But Wednesday’s performance
with the gloves wasn’t very Serra-
like — in three previous WCAL
games, the Padres had five errors
combined. The game marked the
second time this year Serra has
committed at least six errors.

Rivalry renewed to start 2011 Santa Clara wins CIT title
By Beth Harris
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers and the San
Francisco Giants play each other 17 times, and
Clayton Kershaw figures there’s no better time
than the season opener for Los Angeles to meas-
ure itself against the World Series champions.
The 23-year-old left-hander starts Thursday
night against Tim Lincecum and the Giants,
who dominated the headlines long after the
Dodgers’ season ended without a playoff
appearance.
“Obviously, they’re the team to beat,”
Kershaw said. “But this year is a brand new year
and there are a lot of expectations with every
team coming in, and the Giants are just one
more team we’ve got to beat.”
The Giants will have to wait until their second
home game on April 9 to receive their champi-
onship rings. But just knowing their bitter rivals
have a World Series title to celebrate is annoy-
ing enough to many Dodger fans.
“With the history, sure it’s going to be (hyped
up),” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. “With
the two clubs, it goes way back. I actually look
forward to how it’s going to go. It should be
very exciting.”
Thursday’s game is the first of seven meetings
“Obviously,they’re
the team to beat.”
— Clayton Kershaw,Dodgers’starter today
against World Series champ Giants
between the teams in the first two weeks of the
season.
“It’s going to be a tough series no matter
what,” Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier said. “It
always is between these two teams, and it’s
something where a lot of emotion and a lot of
energy fills the ballpark because it’s the
Dodgers-Giants rivalry.”
The Giants will be without two of their top
players to start the season. All-Star closer Brian
Wilson is on the disabled list because of a
strained oblique, while Cody Ross, their best
hitter during the playoffs, has a strained calf.
For the Dodgers, fifth-starter Jon Garland
(oblique), third baseman Casey Blake (back),
catcher Dioner Navarro (oblique) and pitcher
Vicente Padilla (arm surgery) are on the DL.
Kershaw got the opening day nod a year after
starting the Dodgers’ home opener.
“It’s an exciting opportunity, but at the same
time, you try to keep it in perspective,” he said.

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. — When you play in
the West Coast Conference, you’re going to walk
into some imposing gyms from time to time. But
playing the likes of Gonzaga and St. Mary’s
probably didn’t prepare Santa Clara for a practice
this week at Madison Square Garden of all
places.
Running through a workout on the same floor
where Carmelo Anthony plays for the Knicks,
and where Kemba Walker led UConn to a Big
East championship, however, did prove to have
dividends.
Just ask Iona.
Two days after that Garden practice, Ben
Dowdell had 14 points, eight rebounds and two
assists as Santa Clara handled the Gaels 76-69 to
win the third annual CollegeInsider.com tourna-
ment on Wednesday night.
Kevin Foster had 16 points and the Broncos
(24-14) placed five in double figures en route to
the easy road victory over Iona (25-12). Santa
Clara led 38-28 at the half, and outrebounded
Iona 39-32.
The loss ruined a thorough performance from
Iona’s Michael Glover, who finished with 22
points, 12 rebounds, three blocks and a steal.

Games’
changes
W
ith the high school baseball and
softball seasons in full swing,
there are changes in each sport to
pay attention to. The baseball change was
made for safety reasons, as well as to dial
down the offense, while the change made in
softball was to increase offense.
The hue and cry over baseball bats has been
front-page news since last season when a num-
ber of high-profile accidents showed the spot-
light on “hot” bats: bats that were so light,
powerful and with such a huge sweet spot —
balls that were doubles 20 years ago were fly-
ing out of ball parks,
and legitimate home-
run hitters were putting
on displays not seen in
the high school ranks.
A number of critics
classified these bats as
weapons.
Because of the out-
cry, the California
Interscholastic
Federation instituted
new bat rules this sea-
son, which limit the
amount of rebounds
bats are allowed to have, among other
changes.
Obviously, comparing numbers from 2010
to 2011 really won’t work until the end of the
season, but I did research to see if there were
any glaring differences in numbers.
I cruised over to MaxPreps.com as it does
the best job of trying to cobble together nation-
al stats — at least of those schools that upload
their data to the website. Obviously, not every
player and team is represented, but it gave me
some kind of data to crunch.
Despite having only half a season’s worth of
stats, there are some interesting developments.
It appears the top hitters will remain so, but the
.300 average hitter — which in high school is
considered only above average — looks
bound to drop from last year to this year.
Last season, 14 players in the Central Coast
Section finished the season with batting aver-
ages of .500 or better, 69 who batted in the

The CIT this year featured a 24-team field
from 15 different conferences, including the West
Coast, the MAAC, Conference USA, the
Missouri Valley and the Mountain West. The
majority of the teams — understanding they
probably weren’t going to get invited elsewhere
— signed onto the tournament prior to Selection
Sunday. Old Dominion and Missouri State won
the first two installments of this tournament.
Santa Clara defeated Northern Arizona, Air
Force, San Francisco, SMU and Iona to win the
title, the last three being on the road. The Broncos
closed the season by winning eight of their last
nine games.
Neither will their fellow students. In fact, Santa
Clara will host a welcome back salute to the team
on Thursday afternoon on campus. This is Santa
Clara’s first-ever postseason, non-conference
tournament championship.
Iona finished the season on a 12-2 stretch, but
the two losses — both in championship settings
— were costly and may overshadow an other-
wise strong season. Iona lost to St. Peter’s 62-57
in the MAAC title game, and then to the Broncos.
Iona defeated Valparaiso, Buffalo and East
Tennessee State to advance to the CIT final.

Teen go-kart Memphis mauls Warriors by 19
racer fights
doping ban
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GENEVA — Branded a doping cheat at age
13, a kart driver is appealing a two-year ban to
the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Igor Walilko of Poland is scheduled to give
evidence at the Lausanne-based court on
Thursday when his lawyers challenge the ban
imposed by motor sport’s governing body, the
FIA.
Walilko was 12 when he tested positive for the
banned stimulant nikethamide after an interna-
tional kart race in Germany last July. It was the
driver’s first doping test.
Walilko’s lawyer Michael Lehner tells The
Associated Press the case is “very difficult” for
the teenager, who was a national junior champi-
on.
“He was very famous in Poland and, one day
after, he was a criminal child,” Lehner said in a
telephone interview. “He has good chances to go
to a career in motor sport, and now with a two-
year ban it’s finished.”
The FIA did not respond to requests for com-
ment on the case.
According to Walilko’s website, he began rid-
ing motocross bikes at 4 and followed his father,
Rafal, into the sport.
In 2007, Walilko started competitive racing in
karts — the same route taken by Michael
Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton on their road
to become Formula One world champions.
“He has a lot of talent,” Lehner said. “The
father pushed him, this is normal in sport, but the
father doesn’t push him in doping.”
Walilko won the Polish junior title in 2009. He
competed in Germany last season, piloting
125cc engines in KF3 class races. At the
Ampfing circuit on July 18, he finished second
in a 24-lap race, reaching speeds of 55 mph.
German organizers took a urine sample after
the race, and it showed traces of nikethamide.
The World Anti-Doping Agency classifies
nikethamide as a specified substance that allows
for explanations of accidental use — if an athlete
proves how it was consumed.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Tony Allen scored 21
points and helped reverse Memphis’ lack-
adaisical first-half effort in the Grizzlies’ 110-
91 victory over the Golden State Warriors on
Wednesday night.
Allen added eight rebounds and four assists
as Memphis not only won its fifth straight at
home, but assured the Grizzlies (42-33) of
their first winning season since 2005-06, the
last time the team made the playoffs.
Mike Conley and Zach Randolph scored 20
apiece, with Conley also recording seven
assists. Randolph had 13 rebounds and six
assists as Memphis extended its hold on the
final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Coupled with Houston’s 108-97 loss to
Philadelphia on Wednesday night, the
Grizzlies now have a three-game buffer on the
Rockets.

Stanford ready for run at NCAA title
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STANFORD — From the moment last season
ended in disappointment, Kayla Pedersen and
Jeanette Pohlen made it clear their senior seasons
at Stanford would be incomplete without an
NCAA championship.
They reiterated it Wednesday: Another near
miss at a national title won’t do for this star tan-
dem in their final shot at winning it all.
The top-seeded Cardinal (33-2) head off to their
fourth straight Final Four on Thursday riding a
27-game winning streak and gearing up for an
unexpected semifinal matchup Sunday in
Indianapolis with No. 2 seed Texas A&M after its
upset of Baylor.
“It’s incredible to make it to four straight Final
Fours, but at the same time we’re not satisfied
with that,” Pedersen said. “I think that determina-
tion, that focus that we’re going to bring this year
and that experience that we’ve lost a bunch of
times in the Final Four, is really going to motivate
us for one more game.”
Grizzlies 110, Warriors 91
points, all in the first half.
Stephen Curry was 2 of 14 from the field
and 1 of 6 outside the arc for the Warriors, fin-
ishing with only six points. He did have nine
assists.
Golden State, second in the league in 3-
point shooting at 39.4 percent, were 6 of 21
from outside the arc (28.6 percent).
Meanwhile, Memphis, which leads the
league in points in the paint, held an advan-
tage there 76-50 and helped the Grizzlies
shoot a season-best 56.5 percent on 48-of-85
shooting from the field.
Radmanovic led a rally by the Warriors
bench to overtake an early eight-point
Memphis lead. While the rest of the Warriors
had misfired on their first six 3-pointers,
Radmanovic was perfect on his initial three.
The Warriors were coming off an over-
time loss at Oklahoma City on Tuesday
night, but the Grizzlies were the ones who
looked a tad lethargic in the half, getting
beat on the boards and not forcing turnovers
Stanford hasn’t brought home the title trophy
since 1992 despite reaching the NCAA final
twice in the program’s past three trips to the Final
Four. The Cardinal lost the title to Tennessee in
2008 and to Connecticut last year.
Everybody involved insists it’s time to finally
get over the hump, which likely will mean getting
through two-time defending champion UConn
for a second time this season.
“Is this team better prepared? Do I have a sense
of it? No,” coach Tara VanDerveer said of the
Cardinal’s chances.
Pohlen, the Pac-10 Player of the Year, and
Pedersen already have done so much to leave their
legacy, like that school-record 63-game home
winning streak at Maples Pavilion. They never
lost on their home floor for their careers — a mark
no other Stanford senior class has accomplished.
It was Pohlen’s coast-to-coast drive for the win-
ning layup against Xavier during last season’s
special run that sent Stanford back to the Final
Four.
Now, it’s their final try on the biggest stage.
“For Kayla and I and the other seniors, we’re
THE DAILY JOURNAL
— two keys to their success.
Despite both teams shooting poorly at the
start — combined they missed their first 11
shots — they ended the half above 53 percent.
The Grizzlies had a handful of steals in the
third quarter, as Allen scored 10 points.
Memphis used the energy to reverse Golden
State’s momentum and ended the quarter up
79-72. The Grizzlies then extended the lead to
as many as 19 in the fourth quarter.
Notes: The Warriors’ 91 points marked the
first time in the last nine games of the series
that both teams didn’t reach at least 104
points. ... Lee entered with double-doubles in
20 of last 36 games. He fell one rebound short
of another double-double. ... Randolph had 10
points in the fourth quarter. Memphis is 10-0
when he reaches double-digits in the final
quarter. ... Memphis’ previous high field-goal
percentage for a game was 55.7 against
Denver on Feb. 13. ... Memphis is 17-1
against teams playing the second night of a
back-to-back, including 14-0 at home.
very focused coming into this Final Four,” Pohlen
said. “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.”
Stanford ended the Huskies’ record 90-game
winning streak with a thrilling 71-59 victory at
Maples Pavilion back on Dec. 30, holding UConn
star Maya Moore to 14 points on 5-of-15 shoot-
ing. That after UConn rallied from a 20-12 half-
time deficit against Stanford to win the national
title last April — a result that still stings around
Stanford.
Pedersen said after that demoralizing defeat
that she didn’t want Stanford to be remembered as
the team that made it to the last game and never
won.
“As a freshman, sitting there with the seniors
and hearing them declare their passion, to hear
they feel so strongly, you want to help them end
their senior year right,” said Pac-10 Freshman of
the Year Chiney Ogwumike.

He’ll be facing off against Lincecum, a two-

“It’s always tough, and it’s going to be a bat-
tle that first day,” Ethier said. “But you’ve got to

hard to be as calm as Joe,” he said. “But I’ve
always been similar in the fact that, as a coach,
you’re always paying attention to your guys
because every little movement in their body
language tells you something about what’s
going on with them. I just kind of take down
notes as the game goes on if things are bother-
ing me and I write them down.”
During pre-game ceremonies, Placido
Domingo will sing the national anthem and

.400s and 214 who batted in the .300s.
So far this season, 16 players are hitting over
.500 and 48 hitting in the .400s. But look at the
2011 numbers of .300 hitters compared to last
season — halfway through the 2011 season,
there are only 125 batters hitting in the .300s,
nearly a 100-player drop from last season.
Apparently, MaxPreps doesn’t keep pitching
stats, but just from watching games, pitchers are
definitely back at a premium. Even I have to get
used to the new bats because I’ve seen dozens of
balls hit this season that would have been
screaming extra base hits last year that are
bloops and flares into the shallow outfield this
season.
In softball, the trend appears to be going the
opposite way of baseball. As a way to inject
some offense into the game and take some of the
emphasis off the pitcher, the pitcher’s circle was
moved from 40 feet last season to 43 feet this
season. This has resulted in better offensive

“(You lose) when you have more errors than
hits,” Gianinno said. “We got to play catch, we
have got to get back to basics, we have to get
better.”
Bellarmine stepped on the gas right out of
the gate. Matt Glomb doubled past a diving
Danny Morales down the left field line scoring
Conner Jauch with two outs in the top of the
first off of Serra starter Thomas Cox.
Bellarmine made Cox work the entire after-
noon, taking calculated at-bats in the first
three innings. It did them no good in the sec-
ond, but they increased their lead in the top of
the third fueled by the first Serra error. Larry
Walkley provided the key blow in the frame
when he singled home a pair with a one-out
chopper that split the infield in half.
numbers (so far) and inflated pitcher earned run
averages.
According to MaxPreps.com, 10 players in CCS
in 2010 batted .500 or better, with 43 players hit-
ting in the .400s. This season, 12 players are hit-
ting .500 or better, while the number of .400 hit-
ters has risen to 53. Obviously, all these numbers
can, and will, fluctuate by the end of the season.
But it’s hard not to wonder.
Now, take into account softball ERAs. In
2010, 34 CCS pitchers had ERAs of 2.00 or less.
So far this season, only 18 have accumulated
those numbers.
Again, the eye test proves there is a difference.
When Capuchino and Hillsdale met in 2010,
Hillsdale pitcher Jordan Richwood struck out 21.
Tuesday, facing a very similar Capuchino squad,
Richwood had “only” 11 strikeouts. And her
velocity, which was up in the high 50s and low
60s last season, was at about 52 mph early in the
game Tuesday.
So if you’re used to watching a lot of high
school baseball and softball games and they just
don’t feel right this season, now you know why.

Serra High School and the Padres’ baseball
Down 3-0, the Padres looked like they
would make a dent in the deficit in their half
of the third. Serra loaded the bases after back-
to-back singles and an error. The following
hitter, Paul Murray, hit a ground ball to third
fielded by Cameron Russo, who went home
for the force. Danny Morales charged down
the third base line to try and disrupt a poten-
tial 5-2-3 double play, but he was too aggres-
sive, taking out catcher Jake Whipple with his
slide. The umpire ruled baserunner’s interfer-
ence and Murray was called out at first for the
inning- and rally-ending double play.
Bellarmine took advantage of that lapse in
concentration in the top of the fourth when
Trevor Demerritt led the inning off with a dou-
ble to greet reliever Matt Michellini. He’d
score on a single to center off the bat of
Bradley Northnagel to put the Bells up by
four.
It would have been worse actually because

I don’t know if outpouring would be the right
word, but I did receive quite a bit of feedback
following my tribute column to my dog Cosmo.
Everyone in the office, couple of phone calls, a
few emails, the head softball coaches at Hillsdale
and Capuchino, all felt my pain.
I really appreciate the kind words and now on
day four it’s getting a little bit easier.
Someone told me they haven’t gotten another
dog seven years after the fact. Didn’t want to go
through the pain again. I can understand.
But I think I’m leaning the other way: I’ve
already looked up shelter dogs on the web.
behind Michellini. The right-hander buckled
down and pitched around those mistakes.
Still, those errors may have affected the
Serra bats, which were flat throughout the
game. The wheels really came off in the top of
the 6th when the Bells scored four times on
four hits, two walks and a hit batter.
“You tip your cap to Bellarmine,” Gianinno
said, “their guy pitched really well, they did
what they needed to do.”
The Padres saved themselves from being
shutout with a three-run sixth inning high-
lighted by a two-run single off the bat of
Michael McEntee.
“I talk a lot with our guys about adversity,
about answering back,” Gianinno said. “Are
you going to be a guy that is going to answer
back or sit back on your heels and allow the
game to take you over? Or are you going to
attack the game? We got to get better at
answering back. This group is capable.
They’ve shown that.”

Get ahead of garden maintenance
By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
The best way to keep a good gar-
den is to anticipate seasonal work
and stay ahead of it. It is all about
timing, really, and starting early
keeps me from playing catch-up
later in the season. Staying ahead of
garden chores means making lists
and prioritizing.
It also means paying close atten-
tion to the weather. In my zone 6
garden, the ground has thawed and
the soil is soft from the abundance
of spring rain. Walking in a garden
when the ground is soft and wet is
detrimental to the soil. In early
spring, wet soil compacts easily,
depleting it of oxygen. Once it is
compacted, water does not pass
through soil as easily, and neither
will roots later in the season. A
stretch of dry sunny weather will be
needed before I can work on my
borders, but when it comes, I’ll be
watching for it. Until then I’ll stay
off any wet garden soil.
In the meantime there are a lot of
other jobs that can be done before
spring is really under way. March is
when I do all of my coppicing. For
those who don’t take advantage of
this time-honored horticultural
practice, you are missing out on a
great renewable resource.
Coppicing is the practice of cutting
woody plants back to the ground
Willow whips,useful props in the garden,are a beneficial by-product of spring pruning.
every spring.
Traditionally done with fast-
growing shrubs like willows, the
practice began in Europe as a way
to create firewood in areas devoid
of trees, and later to grow material
for making woven baskets.
SUBURBAN LIVING
Every spring I coppice several
different types of willows in my
garden. Willows grow quickly and
if not cut back regularly will over-
take a garden. Coppicing them
annually allows me the opportunity
to grow many of the ornamental
types right in the border, such as the
pink-tipped variety ‘hakuro nishiki’
and the beautiful narrow-leaved
rosemary willow.
Most types of willows will pro-
duce long slender “whips” each
year after the shrub has been cut

back. Some of these whips can be
as long as 6 to 8 feet in length,
depending on the type of willow.
Once cut, these long thin branches
are very useful in the garden.
I cut the shrubs back before the
leaves appear each spring and wrap
the whips in bundles with twine.
These bundles make the perfect
support for climbing peas in the
vegetable garden, or for supporting
floppy perennials in the border.
Their natural look is unobtrusive
and once plants begin to grow over
them they become virtually invisi-
ble in the garden.
A few weeks ago, an editor from
a national magazine called asking
me if she could do a feature story
on my garden later this season.
There is nothing like having com-
pany over to get one’s house in
order, and a garden is no exception!
This spring I am going to have to
pay close attention to my garden
chore list so I’m not behind the
eight ball when the photographer
arrives.

Thinking of an electric car? Get your garage ready By Tom Krisher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
With gas prices rising and instability in the
Middle East, the thought of an electric car in
the garage might be getting more appealing.
Before you jump for the new technology,
though, make sure your garage is ready to be
a refueling station.
Depending on which car you buy and how
old your home is, it could cost a couple thou-
sand dollars to prep the garage so you can
charge a car quickly enough to take off for
work in the morning with a full battery.
Then again, it could cost nothing at all.
Start with the age of the home. Older hous-
es may not have enough juice to handle an
electric car. Fifty years ago, who would have
thought we’d be plugging in cars at night?
So the garage may have to be rewired.
According to experts, you need at least a 12-
amp circuit to charge a car in a reasonable
amount of time. You also need a circuit in the
garage with little or nothing else on it.
Anything else drawing power from the same
circuit can slow the charging.
Even if you have a dedicated circuit in the
garage, it still may not work for you. Most
garages have standard 120-volt outlets. But a
dedicated 240-volt outlet, similar to the kind
Depending on which car you buy and how old your home is,it could cost a couple thousand that powers an electric dryer, can cut the
dollars to prep the garage so you can charge a car quickly enough to take off for work in the charging time in half. That’s important
morning with a full battery. depending on the electric car you buy.
Two mass-market electric cars, the
Chevrolet Volt and the Nissan Leaf, have dif-
ferent power systems and different charging
needs. The Leaf is all electric and can go up to
100 miles on a single charge. But it needs
more juice than the Volt to refill the batteries.
It takes eight hours to recharge a Leaf even
with a 240-volt circuit, double that at 120
volts.
The Volt can only go about 40 miles on bat-
tery power, but it has a small gas motor on
board that can keep the car going when the
battery runs out. With its smaller battery pack,
it can be recharged in 10 hours even on 120
volts, five hours or less at 240.
GM estimates that recharging the Volt will
add no more than about $1.50 per day to your
electric bill, based on the national average
electricity cost of 11 cents per kilowatt hour.
AeroVironment, the company that makes
charging stations for Nissan, recommends
outfitting your garage with a special 240-volt
station. The basic station begins charging
when you plug the car in; a smart station can
start charging later in the evening when the
load on the power company grid is lower.
Either way, you’ll need an electrician who
knows about car charging to figure out your
needs and hook the 240-volt station to a dedi-
cated 40-amp circuit, said Kristen Helsel, vice
president of electric vehicle solutions for
AeroVironment.

Common gardening mistakes and how to avoid them
By Dean Fosdick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Gardening is a forgiving hobby.
You can always right any wrongs
next growing season.
The best way to prevent prob-
lems, though, is with good plan-
ning.
“Designing from the top of your
head may work, but things most
likely will work better if you write it
down and do a simple drawing,”
said Jack McKinnon, a garden
coach from San Francisco. “Think
before you plant.”
Most gardening failures result
from simple things, he said, “like
people who don’t fertilize, or if they
do, put on too much. The same goes
for people who don’t understand
watering, or add too much. Many
tend to do their pruning with power
tools and then overdo it.”
Here are 10 common gardening
mistakes and ways to avoid them:
1. Neglecting soil preparation.
Test the plant beds before you
begin, and again every few years to
see if soil conditioners are needed.
Add sand or peat moss to compact-
ed, poorly drained ground, to
improve its structure and encourage
root growth.
2. Overplanting.
Design with the size of mature
plants in mind. Try succession
planting, in which early, cool-
weather crops are harvested before
later, less hardy plants reach maturi-
ty.
3. Flawed feeding.
Test the plant beds before you begin,and again every few years to see if soil conditioners are needed.
“Mulch plants and they’ll be so
much happier,” said Tia Pinney,
adult program coordinator at the
Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary,
in Lincoln, Mass. “Supplement your
soil, don’t just fertilize it.”
4. Improper watering.
Too much water can be just as
damaging as too little. Do a finger-
SUBURBAN LIVING
in-the-ground test to ensure that the
soil around the roots is moist.
Vegetables need about an inch and a
half of water per week.
5. Wrong location.
Growing conditions change as
trees and shrubs mature, creating
different shadow patterns. Most
plants need six to eight hours of sun
per day to develop.
6. Improper pest control.
Don’t kill the good bugs, like pol-
linators, in an effort to eliminate the
bad. “One thing we hear a lot is an
attitude of: ‘All I have to do is spray
and that will cure it’,” said Mary
Ann Ryan, master gardening coor-
dinator with Penn State Cooperative

Extension in Adams County, Pa.
7. Faulty maintenance.
Don’t set your cultivator (or hoe)
too deep, damaging plant roots. Pull
some weeds by hand.
8. Over-pruning.
As a rule, don’t remove more than
30 percent of the foliage from
shrubs in one cutting. And don’t
“top” trees to control their height.
“That reduces their life span rather
than improves their health,” Ryan
said.
9. Botched planting.
Choose the right plant depth. “I
know of one property where they
put a tree with its root ball on the
surface of the ground, and then
mulched around it up to the level of
the trunk,” Ryan said. “People don’t
know how to plant.”
10. Failing to start over.
“Oftentimes, people let diseased
things grow that should be pulled
out, and it affects the health of the
entire crop,” McKinnon said.
Start with a small plot so you can
correct mistakes more easily, the
experts say. And look to your coun-
ty extension office for support if you
run into trouble. Garden coaches
also can diagnose problems and
suggest remedies, as can master
gardeners and landscape designers.

27 other wholesale customers, including
the Bay Area Water Supply and
Conservation Agency.
Most cities on the Peninsula partner
together to purchase water through
BAWSCA. In San Francisco, residents
approved a bond measure in November
2002 to fund more than 80 projects to
improve the system but San Mateo
County residents will pay for the proj-
ects through rate increases.
Next year, the SFPUC will charge its
wholesalers at least 41 percent more for
water and by 2021, water rates will dou-
ble for all of its customers.
“Without these projects, in case of a
major earthquake the Bay Area could be
without water for 30 to 60 days. The
community won’t survive,” said
LAYOFFS
Continued from page 1
Brown announced Tuesday negotiations
for such a ballot measure were halted,
meaning there would likely be more cuts
rather than less.
Unless there is change, however, the
district will need to make serious cuts,
Hudak said.
“It’s bad for business. It’s bad for
schools. It’s bad for employees. It’s irre-
sponsible of Sacramento,” Hudak said.
Among those losses are employees.
San Mateo-Foster City sent possible
layoff notices to 83.6217 full-time
equivalent positions including 30 teach-
SUBURBAN LIVING
BAWSCA Chief Executive Officer Art
Jensen.
System improvements would get
water running back to the Bay Area
within 36 hours, Jensen said.
“It is well worth the money for health,
safety and economic well-being,” Jensen
said.
So far, the SFPUC has delivered most
of its projects on time and on budget,
Jensen said.
Built in the early- to mid-1900s, many
parts of the system are outdated, with
critical portions crossing over or near
three major earthquake faults, according
to the SFPUC. In 2002, the SFPUC
launched the improvement project to
repair, replace and seismically upgrade
the system’s deteriorating pipelines, tun-
nels, reservoirs, pump stations, storage
tanks and dams that carry water from the
Hetch Hetchy reservoir in Yosemite
National Park to the Bay Area.
“The devastating earthquake in Japan
is a sobering reminder of the need to
ers, 7.33 FTE of middle school elective
teachers, four assistant principals and
nine administrators, among other cuts.
These cuts would mean $5.436 million
in savings for the district from two dif-
ferent funds, according to a staff report
by Joan Rosas, assistant superintendent
of human resources.
Superintendent Pendery Clark previ-
ously explained that this year’s initial
deadline is unique. Many people on the
layoff list will not normally get final
notifications. This year, that’s still an
unknown, she said.
Losing teachers will mean increased
class sizes. Currently, the proposal adds
one to two children in kindergarten
through third-grade classrooms, which
currently have 24 students per teacher,
have a seismically secure and reliable
drinking water system,” said SFPUC
General Manager Ed Harrington.
The San Andreas fault runs right
through the middle of the Crystal
Springs reservoir, Harrington said.
The SFPUC held a groundbreaking
yesterday at the end of Skyline
Boulevard and Crystal Springs Road
where two outlet towers that draw water
out of the reservoir are slated to be
demolished and ultimately submerged
under the water line. The towers were
built in 1891 and 1936.
Additional work in the area includes
upgrades to the spillway and parapet
wall at the top of the Lower Crystal
Springs Dam built in 1890, according to
the SFPUC.
“When you live in California, you
understand earthquakes,” said Carole
Groom, president of the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors. “There is
no more important work than seismic
upgrades to public infrastructure.”
according to a staff report by Chief
Business Official Michaela Ochoa. Over
two years, that could create a $2.5 mil-
lion savings.
A large savings could also come from
changing bell schedules allowing for
adjustments in the bus routes. Currently,
each bus makes one trip per morning.
Changing bell schedules to allow for one
bus to make two trips in the mornings
and afternoons could generate $750,000
in savings over two years, Ochoa wrote.
District office and special education
employees are also on the chopping
block.
The board meets 7 p.m. Thursday,
March 31 at the District Office, 1170
Chess Drive in Foster City.

ELECTRIC
Continued from page 20
“This is no different than installing an appliance or something
else,” she said. “We need to take the power from your breaker
box and run it to where you want the charging station installed.”
Charging stations also are available from other manufacturers.
Helsel said it will cost about $2,000 to buy the dock and stan-
dard installation services by an electrician when done through
AeroVironment and a Nissan dealership.
The Volt, however, may not need anything. If you have a ded-
icated circuit in your garage, General Motors, which makes the
car, recommends charging the car first on 120 volts before
spending the cash on a 240-volt charging station.
“Most cars are parked more than 10 hours,” said Britta Gross,
GM’s director of electrical infrastructure. “If I were a consumer,
I would always try 120 first, and if you’re not satisfied, then you
can consider the 240-volt upgrade.”
The Volt has a setting that lets the owner pick the time by
which the car has to be recharged fully, and the car can wait to
start charging. The Leaf has a timer so the owner can set on and
off times for charging based on the day of the week.
The Volt charger from GM costs $495, and about $1,500 to
install, although it could be more depending on how much work
is needed at the house, Gross said.
And whether you need a special charging station depends on
how far you drive. If you go only 20 miles a day, a 120-volt out-
let will work for either car because the battery doesn’t have to be
fully charged every night.
Gross said she’s working to change building codes so that all
garages have 240-volt outlets to charge cars, but she conceded
that will take years. Many auto industry analysts say it will be
years before electric cars are in a lot of garages because cars
powered by internal combustion engines will continue to get
more efficient.
A 120-volt outlet wouldn’t work for James Brazell, 84, of
Asheville, N.C., one of the first people in the country to buy a
Volt. He didn’t want to use any gasoline, yet he makes several
short trips per day, and on some days, when he attends class at
the University of North Carolina Asheville, he will drive 51
miles, more than the Volt’s electric range.
At first, he used the standard outlet in the garage of his home
at a retirement community, but he ended up using a half-gallon
of gasoline in four days. Then the charger he ordered from GM
arrived at a cost of $530 including shipping. An electrician in his
community installed it for an estimated $300, although he has-
n’t received the final bill.
Now he plugs the car in after short trips. “Pretty much I top it
up every time I bring it into the garage,” he said.
Before the charging station, the 120-volt outlet didn’t charge
his car much between trips, he said.
Even though he’s a retired oil company executive, Brazell
knows that the country will need to change the way it gets
around because oil is a finite resource. And he likes driving by
gas stations.
“It makes me feel good, especially when gasoline went up 30
cents a gallon the day I got the car back here.”

Gadhafi’s forces adapt to
airstrikes, pound rebels UK: Libya’s foreign minister to resign
By Ryan Lucas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AJDABIYA, Libya — Moammar Gadhafi’s
ground forces recaptured a strategic oil town
Wednesday and moved within striking dis-
tance of another major eastern city, nearly
reversing the gains rebels made since interna-
tional airstrikes began. Rebels pleaded for
more help, while a U.S. official said govern-
ment forces are making themselves harder to
target by using civilian “battle wagons” with
makeshift armaments instead of tanks.
Western powers kept up the pressure to
force Gadhafi out with new airstrikes in other
parts of Libya, hints that they may arm the
opposition and intense negotiations behind the
scenes to find a country to give haven to
Libya’s leader of more than 40 years.
Even as it advanced militarily, Gadhafi’s
regime suffered a blow to its inner circle with

the apparent defection of Foreign Minister
Moussa Koussa. Koussa flew from Tunisia to
an airport outside London and announced he
was resigning from his post, according to a
statement from the British government.
Moussa Ibrahim, a Libyan government
spokesman in Tripoli, denied that the foreign
minister has defected saying he was in
London on a “diplomatic mission.”
It was not immediately possible to confirm
either statement with Moussa or people close
to him.
Gadhafi’s justice and interior ministers
resigned shortly after the uprising began last
month, but Koussa would be the first high-pro-
file resignation since the international air cam-
paign began.
Airstrikes have neutralized Gadhafi’s air
force and pounded his army, but his ground
forces remain far better armed, trained and
organized than the opposition.
CIA sends teams to Libya
By Adam Goldman and Donna Cassata
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The CIA has sent small
teams of operatives into Libya and helped res-
cue a crew member of a U.S. fighter jet that
crashed, and the White House said Wednesday
it was assessing “all types of assistance” for
rebels battling Moammar Gadhafi’s troops.
Battlefield setbacks are hardening the U.S.
view that the poorly equipped opposition prob-
ably is incapable of prevailing without decisive
Western intervention, a senior U.S. intelligence
official told the Associated Press.
Lawmakers, in private briefings with top
Obama administration officials, asked tough
questions about the cost of the military opera-
tion and expressed concern about the makeup of
the rebels.
Members of Congress quoted officials as say-
ing the U.S. military role would be limited, and
heard President Barack Obama’s director of
national intelligence compare the rebel forces to
a “pick-up basketball team.”
“No decision has been made about providing
arms to the opposition or to any groups in
Libya,” said White House press secretary Jay
Carney. “We’re not ruling it out or ruling it in.”
The CIA’s precise role in Libya is not clear.

LONDON — Libyan Foreign Minister
Moussa Koussa arrived in Britain on
Wednesday and is resigning from his post,
Britain’s government said.
Koussa arrived from Tunisia at Farnborough

west of London, the Foreign Office said in a
statement, adding that he traveled to Britain

tion and assess the strength and needs of the
rebel forces in the event Obama decided to arm
them.
An American official and a former U.S. intel-
ligence officer, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because of the sensitivity of the
information, told the AP about the CIA’s
involvement in Libya after the agency was
forced to close its station in Tripoli, the capital.
They said CIA helped safely recover the F-
15E Strike Eagle’s weapons specialist, who was
first picked up by rebels after the crash March
21. The pilot was rescued by Marines.
They suffered only minor injuries, the mili-
tary has said. Officials have declined to say what
mission the F-15 was on at the time it went
down. The crew ejected after the aircraft mal-
functioned during a mission against a Libyan
missile site.
The former intelligence officer said some CIA
officers had been staging from the agency’s sta-
tion in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.
The New York Times first reported the CIA
had sent in groups of CIA operatives and that
British operatives were directing airstrikes.
Obama said in a national address Monday
night that U.S. troops would not be used on the
ground in Libya. The statement allowed for
wiggle room as the president explores options in
case he decides to use covert action to ship arms
to the rebels and train them.
“He has told us that he
is resigning his post,” the
statement said. “We are
discussing this with him
and we will release fur-
ther details in due course.”
Moussa Ibrahim, a
Libyan government
spokesman, denied that
Moussa Koussa the foreign minister has
defected saying he was in

BROWN
Continued from page 1
then, saying he would bring all 120 law-
makers together no matter how long it
took.
He was off to a strong start after taking
office in January, passionately imploring
lawmakers to set aside their personal
interests for the good of the state, invit-
ing them to his downtown loft, dropping
in at Republican gatherings and charm-
ing Capitol denizens with his Welsh
corgi, Sutter, at his side. His approach
won praise from lawmakers and special
interests across the political spectrum
who said it marked a dramatic shift from
the previous administration of Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, who showed
little interest in getting to know rank-
and-file lawmakers.
But in the end, neither the style nor the
experience of the former two-term gov-
ernor was enough to bridge the divide
between Democrats and Republicans
over longstanding budget and policy dis-
putes.
The 72-year-old Democrat was forced
to concede defeat this week in his quest
for a June special election on taxes, call-
ing off talks with Republican lawmakers
whose votes he needed to get the meas-
ure on the ballot. Legislative ballot
measures and tax increases require a
two-thirds vote in the state Legislature,
which this year means two GOP votes
are needed in each of the Democrat-con-
trolled houses.
Even while presenting a plan that bal-
anced the tax renewals with deep spend-
ing cuts, Brown ran headlong into the
partisan gridlock he was warned had
consumed the Capitol since he was last
in the governor’s office nearly three
decades ago.
“The governor in some ways learned
what we’ve experienced in this
Legislature over the last decade or so:
There is a political party which is
increasingly on the fringe of California
politics, which is ruled by radio talk
show hosts, bloggers and they govern
out of fear and they are unwilling to do
the basics of governance,” a frustrated
Senate President Pro Tem Darrel
Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said of
Republicans in the state Legislature after
Brown ended negotiations.
The governor had hoped to appeal to
politicians’ better nature as he sought to
address the state’s $26.6 billion deficit
through a mix of deep spending cuts and
BUDGET
Continued from page 1
Brown called an unrealistic “wish-list.”
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, said that request is unreasonable.
“It is an offensive request,” Hill said.
“It adds $4 billion to the deficit. They are
proposing to put a bigger hole in the
budget. They want the moon.”
Senate Republican Leader Bob
Dutton, R-Rancho Cucamonga, sees it
differently, however.
“While compromise is needed to avoid
an all-cuts budget, it involves more than
the Republicans going along with the
first, last and only solution of higher
taxes offered by the majority party dur-
ing this budget debate,” Dutton said in a
prepared statement after Brown halted
budget talks Tuesday.
Hill, however, thinks the state can
deliver a balanced budget.
“It is not time to panic. We have $13
billion to go and 76 days to do it,” Hill
said.
Some Democrats in state office think
the governor may still be able to court
some Republican support, while others
don’t see the GOP returning back to the
negotiating table at all. Democrats far
outnumber Republicans in the
Legislature but taxes cannot be raised or
even put on the ballot without a two-
thirds vote.
“It remains to be seen whether the
problem can be solved with
a special election ballot measure that
would ask California voters to extend for
five years the temporary increases in the
sales, vehicle and personal income taxes
the Legislature approved two years ago.
He was not known for warm relation-
ships with lawmakers when he was last
governor, from 1975 to 1983, when he
was criticized for spending too much
time in failed attempts at the presidential
nomination. But an older and wiser
Brown aggressively courted legislators
from both parties this time around. His
outreach won accolades, but no amount
of charm apparently could overcome the
partisan gridlock that has overtaken
Sacramento and made it nearly impossi-
ble for the Legislature to pass budgets or
enact long-term fiscal reforms.
Last year, the Legislature went a
record 100 days beyond the July 1 start
of the fiscal year before passing a budg-
et.
Brown did not address reporters
Tuesday after announcing he was
pulling the plug, but he showed his frus-
tration after GOP legislative leaders sub-
mitted a seven-page list of demands they
were seeking in exchange for their sup-
port of the special election. At the top of
the Republican list was a desire to
include changes to public employee pen-
sions and a state spending cap on the
same special election ballot.
“Let me be clear: I support pension
reform, regulatory reform and a spend-
ing cap, and offered specific and detailed
proposals for each of these during our
discussions,” Brown said in a statement
announcing he was calling off the talks.
“While we made significant progress on
these reform issues, the Republicans
continued to insist on including
demands that would materially under-
mine any semblance of a balanced budg-
et.”
Republicans,” said state Sen. Joe
Simitian, D-Palo Alto. “The potential for
common ground is there but the two
sides have grown apart.”
The tax extensions may be placed on
the November ballot through the initia-
tive process, Simitian said, although he
is hopeful the problem can be solved in
the Legislature and that the governor and
GOP leaders can sit back down at the
table for more bargaining.
“The June election is now lost,”
Simitian said, adding that perhaps the
Legislature can put the tax extensions on
the ballot in a special election in
September if Republicans come along,
he said.
Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D-San
Francisco, doesn’t expect any
Republicans to jump the aisle in support
of the tax extensions, however.
“We’ve shown our willingness to
make cuts,” Ma said. “They are not
being a part of the solution.”
Ma contends Republicans may be hes-
itant to support the tax extensions
because of threats of constituent back-
lash.
“I don’t see them coming to the table,”
she said. “I think they are scared they
will get recalled.”
In the governor’s current budget pro-
posal, spending for K-12 education is in
line with last year’s budget but if the
state cannot get the $12.5 billion in taxes
extended, schools will face huge cuts.
“I think the state is in serious trouble
right now,” said state Sen. Leland Yee,
D-San Francisco/San Mateo. “We can-

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Republicans blamed public employee
unions for the breakdown in negotia-
tions. They said Brown was unwilling to
buck powerful Democratic interests,
even though the governor said recently
that he had warned his union allies that
they should agree to concessions or face
the prospect of more far-reaching
reforms if an independent group quali-
fies a ballot initiative to change the pub-
lic pension system.
“It is a sad commentary that the best
interests of California play second fiddle
to the self-serving interests of public
employee unions,” said state Sen. Tom
Harman, R-Huntington Beach.
“Unfortunately the go-to answer for
Democrats always seems to be more
taxes. Nothing has changed.”
The unions opposed a hard spending
cap, and without their financial support,
Brown’s tax plan likely would not fare
well at the ballot.
Brown knew he was walking into a
quagmire in Sacramento. But he had
hoped to rise above the partisanship, and
in doing so, push others to do the same.
He implored Democrats and
Republicans in his January State of the
State address to emerge from their
respective corners for the good of
California, saying the state’s precarious
financial footing was more dire than in
previous years. In his inauguration, he
referred to that approach as a “philoso-
phy of loyalty” to California.
But lawmakers are not of the same
breed Brown encountered in the 1970s
and 1980s, before term limits forced
them to be looking ahead constantly to
their next office and worrying about how
every vote might be portrayed in a future
election.
Republican lawmakers also are fearful
of powerful, vocal interests that oppose
taxes at all costs, pushed by conservative
radio hosts and bloggers who demand
that they sign an anti-tax pledge pushed
by the Washington, D.C.-based
Americans for Tax Reform. The group’s
president, Grover Norquist, pre-emp-
tively admonished California lawmakers
that even allowing voters to decide
whether to renew the higher taxes was
akin to voting in support of them.
Term limits also have given special
interests, including public employee
unions, more clout in the Legislature.
Brown had hoped to move on to edu-
cation, job creation, criminal justice and
water issues once the state’s fiscal house
was in order. Those plans are on hold
now.
children away. Teachers may have to
suffer through the summer without
knowing if they have a job in the fall.”
The governor presented a balanced
approach to the budget with cuts and
revenue raising and a cuts-only solution
will not work, Yee said.
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo
Park, agreed.
“An all-cuts budget would be too dev-
astating,” Gordon said.
Gordon wants to know what the
Republican solution to solving the crisis
is.
“What is their plan? Is it just to say
‘no?’ At some level the Republicans will
make themselves irrelevant,” Gordon
said.
Perhaps it is time, he said, for the
Legislature to eliminate the two-thirds
majority to raise taxes.
“It is worth discussing,” Gordon said.
With the June election essentially lost,
an initiative process for the November
ballot may be the state’s best solution to
avoid drastic cuts, Gordon said.
“The failure of Republicans to provide
the opportunity for people to vote on
these measures creates a situation that is
dire for the state,” Gordon said.
The budget is due June 15.
Last year, the state budget was not
passed until 100 days until well after it
was due.

U.N.: High radiation outside Japan’s exclusion zone
By George Jahn
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VIENNA — Recent radiation
readings outside the exclusion zone
around Japan’s nuclear disaster
show radiation substantially higher
than levels at which the U.N.
nuclear agency would recommend
evacuations, agency officials said
Wednesday.
The comments could add to the
debate over how far people need to
stay away from Japan’s Fukushima
Dai-ichi nuclear complex, which
was crippled in the country’s March
11 earthquake and tsunami.
Elena Buglova, an official from
the International Atomic Energy
Agency, said the reading was 2
megabecquerels per square meter at
the village of Iitate, adding that “as
a ratio it was about two times high-
er” than levels at which the agency
recommends evacuations.
Iitate is about 25 miles (40 kilo-
meters) from the Fukushima com-
plex where emergency crews are
battling to keep radioactivity from
spreading.
Japanese officials have told resi-
dents to evacuate within a 12-mile
WORLD THE DAILY JOURNAL
(20-kilometer) zone and to stay
indoors within 18 miles (30 kilome-
ters) of the damaged complex, but
U.S. officials have recommended
citizens stay at least 50 miles (80
kilometers) away.
The officials emphasized that the
readings at the village of Iitate were
sporadic and only at one measuring
point.
Denis Flory, a senior IAEA offi-
cial, demurred when asked whether
the agency was recommending that
the village be cleared of residents
but said it had advised Japanese
authorities to “carefully assess the REUTERS
situation.” A man is screened for signs of nuclear radiation in Fukushima,Japan.
