Purchasing land to provide a new
home for Peninsula High School
and the San Mateo Union High
School District ofce is the prefer-
ence for Superintendent Scott
Laurence, but hell need time to
conduct a search.
Discussions of moving the alter-
native school from its current loca-
tion housed at aging facilities on
the campus of the former Crestmoor
High School in San Bruno start-
ed early last year. On Thursday,
March 7, the Board of Trustees will
hold a special meeting at the Aragon
Theater to discuss other options to
house the alternative school and dis-
trict ofce, on Delaware Street in
San Mateo. The board will review
the specic space needs for the two
different uses, the options previous-
ly discussed, and Laurences recom-
mendation moving forward. Hes
asking the board to give him six
months to look at land options. If
nothing suitable emerges, he is sug-
gesting that the district reconsider
and discuss if a new Peninsula
should be built on San Mateo High
Schools property on Delaware
Street and Poplar Avenue.
My rst priority is to nd prop-
erty, said Laurence.
The goal has been to move
Peninsula to a central location.
Generally, Laurence will be inter-
ested in land between Millbrae
Avenue and State Route 92, El
Camino Real and Highway 101.
Finding a spot within that area
would cut down on travel time for
students, who often spend one to
two hours daily on the bus, said
Laurence.
Land acquisition could mean buy-
ing separate parcels for the two
goals or possibly one for both.
A recent polling of Peninsula stu-
dents found that 86 percent take the
bus to attend school and 68 percent
live in Burlingame, Foster City or
San Mateo, according to a staff
report. The travel time for a student
each way can range from an hour to
100 minutes depending on if he or

San Carlos Mayor Matt Grocott
has an idea of how the city can but-
ton up its identity following a series
of service outsourcing moves
shirts.
Actually, Grocott is also thinking
hats or polos as long as they have
the city emblem and possibly its
motto The city of good living. The
attire would be handed out to every
ofcial, appointee and employee as
a way to encourage the sense that
San Carlos is a team rather than a
city of piecemeal providers and sep-
arate governmental bodies.
It could show that were really
all on one team,
Grocott said.
The items
would not be a
mandated uni-
form but simply
a piece of cloth-
ing to be worn
as the owner
chooses, partic-
ularly when rep-
resenting the city at regional meet-
ings or local events like Hometown
Days. The shirt, jacket, sweatshirt or
whatever is chosen could be given to
ofcials or employees when they
join the city as part of a welcome

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
It has been strange for Daniella
McBride to watch herself on televi-
sion, but the Belmont native says
going on ABCs reality show The
Bachelor was a gift.
McBride was recently eliminated
from the show, on which 25 women
compete for a marriage proposal
from one attractive bachelor.
As someone with a longtime
interest in the entertainment indus-
try, she was drawn to The
Bachelor, which has been running
for more than 10 years.
I always thought the show was
pretty interesting, she said.

Bay Bridge prepares to shine
SAN FRANCISCO After more
than 75 years in the shadow of its glam-
orous cousin, San Franciscos other
bridge is getting a chance to shine.
The San Francisco-Oakland Bay
Bridge has been turned into the latest
and by far the biggest backdrop for
New York artist Leo Villareal, who has
individually programmed 25,000 white
lights spaced a foot apart on 300 of the
spans vertical cables to create what is
being billed as the worlds largest illu-
minated sculpture.
Villareal, 46, whose previous installa-
tions have included an underground
walkway at the National Gallery of Art
and the Bleecker Street subway station
in Manhattan, is scheduled to ip the
switch on The Bay Lights with a click
of his laptop computer on Tuesday at 9
p.m. Donors attending a private water-
front reception will see it set to music,
but the work, which uses sequences of
shifting light to produce an almost-in-
nite array of abstract patterns, will be
visible to anyone with a view of the
western half of the bridge for at least the
next two years.
People are attracted to light and they
will respond in a variety of ways, even
if they dont know anything about art,
programming or technology, he said
one evening late last month while ne-
tuning the shimmering display from a
pier next to San Franciscos Ferry
Building. Its really a wonderful piece
of public art.
For Ben Davis, a San Francisco public
relations and communications profes-
sional who conceived of the idea of turn-
ing the busy Bay Bridge into a 1.8-mile-
long canvas, the $8 million project rep-
resents a long-overdue celebration of a
conduit that has been eclipsed by the
Golden Gate Bridge almost from the
time its concrete set. It opened to great
acclaim in November 1936 at the
time it was the worlds longest and most
expensive bridge but lost the lime-
light with the opening of the majestic
Golden Gate ve months later.
Those bridges are sort of like twins,
one very beautiful, one very hard-work-
ing, said Davis, whose interest in the
Bay Bridge was sparked by his rms
work promoting the soon-to-be-com-
pleted rebuilding of the bridges earth-
quake-damaged eastern span. For 75
years, the Bay Bridge has had this pleas-
ure of being able to see the Golden Gate
Bridge. Now, we are giving its sister
something really beautiful to look at for
a while.
Villareal, who studied sculpture at
Yale and completed a graduate program
in interactive telecommunications at
New York Universitys Tisch School of
the Arts, Bay Lights has represented a
sort of homecoming. After graduate
school, he spent three years at Interval
Research, a Silicon Valley think tank
spearheaded by Microsoft cofounder
Paul Allen.
But it was at Burning Man, the annual
art and music festival in Nevadas Black
Rock Desert, that the artist found his
medium. In 1997, he built a light sculp-
ture as homecoming beacon for his
tribes camp site. In the years since, his
creations have been featured in galleries
and museums around the world,
although he still sits on the festivals
board and attends every summer.
People focus a lot on the lights, but in
a way the most interesting thing about
his work is that its really dealing with
algorithms, its really about emerging
software, unpredictable software, said
Steven Johnson, author of Where Good
Ideas Come From: The Natural History
of Innovation and a longtime friend of
Villareals. Because of technology and
software really being so central to the
Bay Area, to have its great epic urban art
project be fundamentally all about code,
its just pretty a much a marriage made
in heaven.

T
he change for using the nickelodeon
from silent movies to talkies was fast
in the rst quarter of the 1900s. The
nickelodeon ourished from 1905 to 1915 and
it changed the leisure habits of the nation. The
term nickelodeon was rst used in 1888 by
Austins Nickelodeon in Boston, Mass. and
related to the price of the movie, a nickel, and
a covered building, Odeon. On June 19, 1905,
two men opened a small storefront movie
house called The Nickelodeon, in Smitheld,
Penn., that was devoted entirely to movie pic-
tures. Earlier, these 10- to 15-minute lms
were shown as a part of vaudeville shows.
This nickelodeon became an immediate suc-
cess and became imitated throughout the
country. In 1907 and 1908, the show houses
doubled to around 8,000, and it was estimated
that by 1910 as many as 26 million people
visited these theaters every week. Success,
however, was their downfall and the public
demanded more and longer lms, and better
buildings to watch them in. The 10- to 15-
minute lm became obsolete and this huge
competition began the era of movie palaces
and fabulous talent to satisfy the moviego-
ers.
Drive-Ins in San Mateo County:
The Geneva Drive-In opened at 2150
Geneva Ave., in San Mateo County near the
Cow Palace. It had 10 acres with the screen
500 feet from the projection booth. The pro-
jection booth was placed beneath the old sta-
dium seats that were used when an auto race
track was on the site. Two more screens were
added in the 1970s as the public responded
favorably to the cheap prices and the fact that
the family didnt have to dress up. The family
loaded all of its kids, and sometimes the
neighbors kids, packed the car with pop and
food (although there was a concession stand
at the site), threw in blankets and pillows for
the kids that went to sleep, and went to spend
a evening of pleasure. The Geneva Drive-In
closed September 1998.
Mission Drive-In opened at 5500 Mission
St. in Daly City actually at Guttenberg Street
in Daly City. They thought the San Francisco
address would draw in more customers. It
opened May 2, 1951; closed Oct. 5, 1976 due
to rowdy crowds.
Starlite Drive-In at 30 S. Linden Ave. and
South Canal Street (by Lindenville housing)
in South San Francisco. It opened Aug. 19,
1947 with 150 to 200 sites. The day of dress-
ing up to go to a movie was over. Bring the
kids, all for one price. It was torn down and
later the Spruce Drive-In opened to the north.
On May 10, 1966, the Spruce Drive-In
opened behind the South San Francisco
Lumber Co. at 55 Spruce Ave. The South San
Francisco Fire Department has a facility there
now.
El Rancho Drive-In at 517 Hickey Blvd. in
South San Francisco opened March 26, 1949.
Wings were added to the original screen to
show wide-screen lms. Sound was broadcast
over FM radio thus they got rid of the indi-
vidual car speakers hung onto the door of the
car. A second screen was added by 1975 but
usually older lms were shown. By the 1980s,
the drive-in was closed and housing was built
on the site.
UA Cinemas 4 opened at Tanforan
Shopping Center Dec. 19, 1974. It was short-
lived.
At 10 Noor Ave. in South San Francisco,
Century 8 opened June 3, 1985 but it was shut
down by 2008.
The Century 14 in Tanforan Shopping
Center opened to satisfy the movie-going
public with a choice of many movies at once.
Century Twenty 1901 on Junipero Serra
Boulevard opened June 21, 2002.
Serramonte 6 (American Multi-Cinema)
at 4915 Junipero Serra Blvd. It opened March
22, 1972 with a seating capacity of 1,700. It
was the rst six-plex in the Bay Area. It
closed in December 1996.

Obituary
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Lawmakers from both
parties are seeking to expand a decade-old law
that lets counties pursue court-ordered mental
health treatment for those who refuse to get
help on their own.
The renewed focus on Lauras Law, which
is in place in just two of Californias 58 coun-
ties, comes as lawmakers seek ways to stop
the kinds of mass violence experienced last
year in Newtown, Conn., and Aurora, Colo.
Both shootings involved young men with
mental health troubles.
The law, enacted by the Legislature in 2002,
can be used only if a judge nds that a patient
is not getting treatment voluntarily, has a his-
tory of hospitalization or violent behavior, and
may be dangerous.
A lack of money and the ongoing contro-
versy over forcing the mentally ill into treat-
ment has led most counties to decide against
enacting it. Some object to forced treatment if
no crime has been committed. Others say the
prospect could deter the mentally ill from
seeking treatment voluntarily for fear they
could wind up under court-ordered supervi-
sion.
Top Democratic lawmakers now say the
benets outweigh the risks, and Republicans
who oppose rearms restrictions are turning
their attention to mental health issues as a way
to address the violence.
Five lawmakers, including the Democratic
leader of the state Senate and the Republican
leader in the Assembly, have introduced bills
that would expand the law or provide funding
to support it:
SB585 by Senate President Pro Tem
Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, and
AB1367 by Assemblyman Allan Mansoor, R-
Costa Mesa, would allow counties to use
Proposition 63 money for Lauras Law. The
Mental Health Services Act, which was
authored by Steinberg, was approved by vot-
ers eight years ago and raises $1 billion a year
for early intervention and
treatment through a spe-
cial tax on millionaires.
SB664, by Sen. Leland
Yee, D-San Francisco, lets
counties use existing rev-
enue for Lauras Law,
implement it without a
vote of their board of
supervisors and clarifies
that counties can partially
implement the law. Los Angeles County has a
small pilot program, but other counties have
objected that they lack the legal authority to
start limited treatment.
SB755, by Sen. Lois Wolk, D-Davis, adds
someone treated under Lauras Law to the list
of those prohibited from owning rearms,
among other provisions.
AB1265, by Assembly Minority Leader
Connie Conway, R-Tulare, extends the initial
period of court-ordered treatment under
Lauras Law from six months to one year.
Mental health law may expand

SACRAMENTO California Republicans
on Sunday turned to a familiar face to lead the
party back from the brink of irrelevance in a
state that once was a GOP stronghold but is
now home to a powerful Democratic political
machine.
More than 1,000 delegates to the state
partys spring convention elected former state
lawmaker Jim Brulte as party chairman and
charged him with repairing the states
nances and image while recruiting a more
diverse pool of candidates.
The hall in the Sacramento Convention
Center erupted in applause when his election
was announced. It was a rare moment of opti-
mism for the party faithful, coming four
months after an election
that dropped Republicans
to just a third of the state
Legislature and cost them
a handful of congressional
seats.
The party holds no
statewide ofce and
dropped to less than 30 per-
cent of all registered voters
in California last year.
If we are going to be successful at winning
elections, we have to get out of our comfort
zone and stop only talking to the choir and
going and talking to the people who dont
necessarily share our views, because if we
share not only our head, but we share our
heart, we will make converts, Brulte told the
delegates after his election.
He said he will focus on fundraising and
remaking the partys voter outreach and can-
didate recruitment. Of particular concern is
reaching Latinos, the fastest-growing segment
of the electorate and a demographic that has
generally shunned the party as its political
clout has grown.
Brulte, from the Los Angeles suburb of
Rancho Cucamonga, also promised to help
the party regain seats in the Legislature, say-
ing Democrats controlling both houses and
the governors ofce is a recipe for disaster.
What happens in California is important to
Republicans nationally because the state has
the largest share of electoral votes, at 55. It
has not voted for a Republican nominee for
president since George H.W. Bush in 1988,
and GOP registration has been sliding since it
hit 40 percent in 1992.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. A
private Earth-to-orbit delivery serv-
ice made good on its latest shipment
to the International Space Station on
Sunday, overcoming mechanical
difculty and delivering a ton of
supplies with high-ying nesse.
To NASAs relief, the SpaceX
companys Dragon capsule pulled
up to the orbiting lab with all of its
systems in perfect order. Station
astronauts used a hefty robot arm to
snare the unmanned Dragon, and
three hours later, it was bolted into
place.
The Dragons arrival couldnt
have been sweeter and not
because of the fresh fruit on board
for the six-man station crew.
Coming a full day late, the 250-
mile-high linkup above Ukraine
culminated a two-day chase that
got off to a shaky, almost dead-
ending start.
Moments after the Dragon
reached orbit Friday, a clogged
pressure line or stuck valve pre-
vented the timely release of the
solar panels and the crucial firing
of small maneuvering rockets.
SpaceX flight controllers struggled
for several hours before gaining
control of the capsule and sal-
vaging the mission.
As they say, its not where you
start, but where you finish that
counts, space station commander
Kevin Ford said after capturing the
Dragon, and you guys really n-
ished this one on the mark.
He added: Weve got lots of sci-
ence on there to bring aboard and
get done. So congratulations to all
of you.
Among the items on board: 640
seeds of a owering weed used for
research, mouse stem cells, food
and clothes for the six men on board
the space station, trash bags, com-
puter equipment, air purifiers,
spacewalking tools and batteries.
The company also tucked away
apples and other fresh treats from an
employees family orchard.
The Dragon will remain at the
space station for most of March
before returning to Earth with sci-
ence samples, empty food contain-
ers and old equipment.
The California-based SpaceX run
by billionaire Elon Musk has a $1.6
billion contract with NASA to keep
the station well stocked. The con-
tract calls for 12 supply runs; this
was the second in that series.
This is the third time, however,
that a Dragon has visited the space
station. The previous capsules had
no trouble reaching their destina-
tion. Company ofcials promise a
thorough investigation into what
went wrong this time; if the maneu-
vering thrusters had not been acti-
vated, the capsule would have been
lost.

Two dead in separate ofcer-involved shootings
SAN FRANCISCO Two people are dead and a third per-
son is in custody after separate ofcer-involved shootings in
Union City and nearby Hayward.
The shootings the third and four fatal shootings in the
San Francisco Bay area involving police and suspects over the
weekend came after Union City police say a suspect pulled
a gun on ofcers during a trafc stop Saturday night and after
Hayward police say a suspect tried to run down an ofcer dur-
ing a trafc stop early Sunday.
Local brief
FRESNO Federal authorities are
asking for the publics help in nding a
suspected marijuana dealer who remains
on the loose after escaping custody
while undergoing medical treatment at a
Central Valley health care facility.
Thanousone Volarat was receiving
treatment at Fresnos Community Home
Infusion Center last Monday when he
was seen getting into a red, newer model
Honda sedan that drove away from the
facility, U.S. Marshals Deputy Tim
Merrell said Sunday. He was wearing a
red jumpsuit.
Volarat was being held in the Fresno
County Jail and was escorted to the
medical center for his treatments by
Fresno County deputies. He walked out
the back door of the facility.
Merrell would not say what sort of
treatment the 32-year-old Volarat was
receiving but said it was expected he
would be seeking regular treatments at
emergency rooms or medical clinics.
The centers website that Volarat
walked away from says it provides
intravenous infusions and therapeutic
injections.
Authorities are also looking for an
unknown male driver who was behind
the wheel of the getaway car and for a
woman who may have had a role in the
escape.
Volorat has ties across the country,
including connections in Southern
California, Connecticut and Florida,
and possibly overseas in Laos, Merrell
said.
Volarat was being held on federal
charges after a grand jury indicted him
and two others in September of 2011 for
allegedly growing marijuana and distrib-
uting it in other states.
The indictments came after the seizure
of nearly 2,200 marijuana plants of-
cials said were grown by the three.
A spokeswoman for the U.S.
Attorneys Ofce said Volarat and the
two others were due to meet with prose-
cutors on March 11 to discuss a possible
plea deal.
A reward for information leading to
the capture of Volarat is being offered,
but Merrell could not provide a dollar
amount for the reward.
Feds look for escaped suspected pot dealer
SAN JOSE Two ofcers fatally
shot a man who rammed three patrol
cars during a high-speed chase through
San Jose residential streets on Saturday,
police said.
The ofcers believed the man was
armed because he brandished what
appeared to be a gun during the chase in
the citys Blossom Valley neighborhood,
Sgt. Jason Dwyer said.
They felt the suspect presented an
imminent danger, Dwyer said.
He said an officer was following the
driver of a Ford Contour who was act-
ing suspiciously around 2:30 p.m.
when he rammed the officers car and
drove away. Dwyer said the man hit
two other police cars and threw
objects, including a purse and a bag of
baseball bats, out of the car window
during the chase.
Police said the man led ofcers onto
Highway 85 before leaving the highway
after a blowout attened his rear left tire.
Witnesses told the San Jose Mercury
News he kept driving the car on three
tires, speeding more than 100 miles per
hour on a city street.

WASHINGTON A baby born
with the AIDS virus appears to have
been cured, scientists announced
Sunday, describing the case of a
child from Mississippi whos now 2
1/2 and has been off medication for
about a year with no signs of infec-
tion.
Theres no guarantee the child
will remain healthy, although
sophisticated testing uncovered just
traces of the virus genetic material
still lingering. If so, it would mark
only the worlds second reported
cure.
Specialists say Sundays
announcement, at a major AIDS
meeting in Atlanta, offers promising
clues for efforts to eliminate HIV
infection in children, especially in
AIDS-plagued African countries
where too many babies are born
with the virus.
You could call this about as
close to a cure, if not a cure, that
weve seen, Dr. Anthony Fauci of
the National Institutes of Health,
who is familiar with the ndings,
told The Associated Press.
A doctor gave this baby faster and
stronger treatment than is usual,
starting a three-drug infusion within
30 hours of birth. That was before
tests confirmed the infant was
infected and not just at risk from a
mother whose HIV wasnt diag-
nosed until she was in labor.
I just felt like this baby was at
higher-than-normal risk, and
deserved our best shot, Dr. Hannah
Gay, a pediatric HIV specialist at
the University of Mississippi, said
in an interview.
That fast action apparently
knocked out HIV in the babys
blood before it could form hideouts
in the body. Those so-called reser-
voirs of dormant cells usually rapid-
ly reinfect anyone who stops med-
ication, said Dr. Deborah Persaud of
Johns Hopkins Childrens Center.
She led the investigation that
deemed the child functionally
cured, meaning in long-term remis-
sion even if all traces of the virus
havent been completely eradicated.
Next, Persauds team is planning
a study to try to prove that, with
more aggressive treatment of other
high-risk babies. Maybe well be
able to block this reservoir seeding,
Persaud said.
No one should stop anti-AIDS
drugs as a result of this case, Fauci
cautioned.
But it opens up a lot of doors to
research if other children can be
helped, he said. It makes perfect
sense what happened.
Better than treatment is to prevent
babies from being born with HIV in
the rst place.
About 300,000 children were
born with HIV in 2011, mostly in
poor countries where only about 60
percent of infected pregnant women
get treatment that can keep them
from passing the virus to their
babies. In the U.S., such births are
very rare because HIV testing and
treatment long have been part of
prenatal care.
We cant promise to cure babies
who are infected. We can promise to
prevent the vast majority of trans-
missions if the moms are tested dur-
ing every pregnancy, Gay stressed.
The only other person considered
cured of the AIDS virus underwent
a very different and risky kind of
treatment a bone marrow trans-
plant from a special donor, one of
the rare people who is naturally
resistant to HIV. Timothy Ray
Brown of San Francisco has not
needed HIV medications in the ve
years since that transplant.
Scientists: Baby born with HIV cured
Expectant parents die in NY crash; infant survives
NEW YORK A pregnant young woman who was feeling
ill was headed to the hospital with her husband early Sunday
when the car they were riding in was hit, killing them both, but
their baby boy was born prematurely and survived, authorities
and a relative said.
The driver of a BMW slammed into the car carrying
Nachman and Raizy Glauber, both 21, at an intersection in the
Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, said Isaac Abraham,
a neighbor of Raizy Glaubers parents who lives two blocks
from the scene of the crash.
Raizy Glauber was thrown from the car and her body land-
ed under a parked tractor-trailer, said witnesses who came to
the scene after the crash. Nachman Glauber was pinned in the
car, and emergency workers had to cut off the roof to get him
out, witnesses said.
Both of the Glaubers were pronounced dead at hospitals,
police said, and both died of blunt-force trauma, the medical
examiner said.
Their son was in serious condition, Abraham said.
Nation brief
By Philip Elliott
WASHINGTON The spending
cuts are here to stay if you believe the
public posturing Sunday.
The Senates Republican leader Mitch
McConnell called them modest. House
Speaker John Boehner isnt sure the cuts
will hurt the economy. The White
Houses top economic adviser, Gene
Sperling, said the pain isnt that bad
right now.
So after months of dire warnings,
Washington didnt implode, government
didnt shut down and the $85 billion
budget trigger didnt spell doom. And no
one has a tangible proposal for rolling
back those cuts.
This modest reduction of 2.4 percent
in spending over the next six months is a
little more than the average American
experienced just two months ago, when
their own pay went down when the pay-
roll tax holiday expired, McConnell
said.
I dont know whether its going to
hurt the economy or not, Boehner said.
I dont think anyone quite understands
how the sequester is really going to
work.
And Sperling, making the rounds on
the Sunday news shows, added: On
Day One, it will not be as harmful as it
will be over time.
Both parties cast blame on the other
for the automatic, across-the-board
spending cuts but gave little guidance on
what to expect in the coming weeks.
Republicans and Democrats pledged to
retroactively undo the cuts but signaled
no hints as to how that process would
start to take shape. Republicans insisted
there would be no new taxes and
Democrats refused to talk about any bar-
gain without them.
Thats not going to work, said Sen.
Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H. If were going to
increase revenue again, its got to go to
the debt with real entitlement reform and
real tax reform when you actually lower
rates. ... Im not going to agree to any
more tax increases that are going to go to
increase more government.
Spending cuts seem here to stay
WASHINGTON Call me?
Maybe?
North Koreas young leader has riled
the U.S. with recent nuclear tests, but
Kim Jong Un doesnt really want war
with the superpower, just a call from
President Barack Obama to chat about
their shared love of basketball, accord-
ing to erstwhile diplomat Dennis
Rodman, the ex-NBA star just back
from an improbable
visit to the reclusive
communist country.
He loves basket-
ball. ... I said Obama
loves basketball.
Lets start there as a
way to warm up rela-
tions between U.S.
and North Korea,
Rodman told ABCs
This Week.
He asked me to give Obama some-
thing to say and do one thing. He
wants Obama to do one thing, call
him, said Rodman, who called the
authoritarian leader an awesome guy
during his trip. The State Department
criticized North Korea last week for
wining and dining Rodman while its
own people go hungry.
Rodman also said Kim told him, I
dont want to do war. I dont want to do
war.

Article priority?
Editor,
In a letter published in the March 1
edition the Daily Journal, Gil
Henderson wrote in to complain about
your choice to cover Peninsula news on
page one and relegating a regional
story to page six.
Mr. Henderson apparently doesnt
understand why people read the Daily
Journal. I for one enjoy the local fea-
tures and avor and hope you dont
change. The news he referred to had
massive coverage in the mainstream
media where it belongs. I suppose that
for the price he pays, he expects the DJ

answer his question, yes Gil, you are
the only one that sees something wrong
with this.

Medicare concerns
about sequestration
Editor,
Contrary to the article No ruckus
about Medicare cuts in pending
sequester published in the Feb. 28 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal, physicians
are extremely concerned about cuts to
Medicare from sequestration. The cuts
come at an already difcult time for
physicians who care for Medicare
patients and will cause real pain. Since
2001, Medicare payments for physician
services have only increased by four
percent, while the actual cost of caring
for patients has increased by more than
20 percent. The new cuts widen this
already enormous gap.
As the cuts go into effect, there are
plenty of reasons for patients, physi-
cians and all Americans to be con-
cerned. A report released jointly by
groups representing physicians, nurses
and hospitals found up to 766,000
health care and related jobs could be
lost by 2021 as a result of the 2 percent
cut in Medicare from sequestration.
Physicians also face the continuing
threat of drastic cuts from the broken
Medicare physician payment formula.
Adding another cut takes us in the
wrong direction: It threatens access to
care for patients and prevents progress
in moving Medicare toward new mod-
els of delivering care that will help
ensure quality and reduce costs now
and in the future.

Aging piano demolition
Editor,
During the 60s, my friend Dave, a
gifted engineering student attending
UC Berkeley, contemplated pledging a
fraternity. He was far removed from
prudishness and frequently revealed an
abundant capacity for raucous revelry
why else join a fraternity? During a
frat house visit one weekend, he wit-
nessed a group of inebriated fraternity
brothers laboring diligently to re-posi-
tion a grand piano out of an upper story
level of the house with the express pur-
pose of watching the piano plummet
toward a deafening crescendo on the
pavement below.
Lacking the equivalent motivation
years later to do likewise with our old
upright piano here in Half Moon Bay,
my wife and I elected instead to
acquire a suitable locale and use for the
piano we no longer desired. A success-
ful garage sale found the piano a home,
inviting entertainment for a local coast-
side youth camp. Regrettably, we
deprived our artistically egocentric
craving for attention by overlooking a
more theatrical and provocative dispos-
al of the piano.
In retrospect, we were too naively
altruistic, art-challenged and unimagi-
native to stage the grandeur of anything
like the recent pyrotechnical oblitera-
tion of a baby grand piano. Here, dubi-
ous art successfully triumphed over the
commonsensical to the jubilation of
250 people, fondly reminiscent of the
aforementioned animal house. Dave did
give the fraternity a pass, deeming the
pianos senseless demolition too offen-
sive even for his youthful sensibilities.
I theorize Dave and I, boorishly encum-
bered with philanthropic mindsets,
remain simply out of tune with
Timothy Leary and the times.

A
fter years of resisting all criti-
cisms of its operations, the
California Institute for
Regenerative Medicine is nally listen-
ing a little. It spent $700,000 for an
outside, high-level review that compli-
mented the stem cell agency for fund-
ing an excellent portfolio of research
projects, but also raised serious objec-
tions to the agencys structure, which
the review said was likely to lead to
nancial conicts of interest.
The criticisms were nothing new
many of the same points have been
made since the agency was created by
Proposition 71 in 2004 but the posi-
tive response by the chairman of the
agencys board was. The governing
board is now making changes to
address some of the long-standing
issues.
Yet the agency isnt exactly embrac-
ing an ethical overhaul. Its doing just
enough to address the criticisms with-
out triggering any oversight from the
Legislature. The modications are more
a bandage than a cure. Like a bandage,
they will probably do, but only for a
limited time.
The single biggest problem identied
in the report by the Institute of
Medicine, an arm of the National
Academy of Sciences, was that the
large governing board, which approves
all of the grants made from the $3 bil-
lion bond that funds the stem cell
agency, includes 13 representatives
from institutions that apply for the
grants, such as the states large research
universities. And even though they
cant vote on applications from their
own organizations, the concern has
been that some mutual hand-washing
might be taking place, especially con-
sidering that during the rst several
years, 90 percent of the grants went to
those organizations. The report advised
the stem cell agency to have grant deci-
sions made by outside experts who had
no stake in the outcome.
The agency isnt going that far.
Instead, it adopted a voluntary policy
under which the grant-eligible board
members are supposed to abstain from
voting on all funding applications.
Why not just change the boards
makeup? The current structure was
built into Proposition 71, so any change
would require a bill passed by 70 per-
cent of the Legislature. It seems clear
that the agency, which has enjoyed
extraordinary freedom from govern-
ment oversight, wants to keep things
that way. Any reform bill has little
chance of gaining a 70 percent vote
without the agencys support.
If the stem cell institute is just a tem-
porary agency that will last until its
public funding runs out it plans to
give its last grants with existing funds
in 2017 its planned reforms will
probably be enough. But if the institute
wants to be a permanent part of the
research landscape and possibly ask
for more public funding voluntary
recusals are an inadequate patch. The
agencys leaders should admit that the
original setup was awed and seek a
true x.
Critiquing the stem cell board
Leadership in
the Assembly
K
evin Mullin, San Mateo Countys brand new assem-
blyman, is a lucky man. He was the only Democrat
not to face an opponent in the primary. Anyone who
thought of challenging him thought better of it and ended up
supporting him. He arrived in Sacramento just as voters
approved a change in term limits. Instead of a limit of six years
in the Assembly, he could now serve 16 if he decided to forgo a
race for the state Senate. And he immediately was tapped for a
leadership position, third in line to the Speaker.
But it isnt just luck. As the Yale football coach once said, a
good team makes its breaks.
Mullin arrived in Sacramento
as probably the most seasoned
freshman, wise to the ways of
the state Capitol. He is the son
of former assemblyman Gene
Mullin and managed his
fathers campaigns. Mullin
also worked for former assem-
blyman Johann Klehs and for-
mer assemblywoman Jackie
Speier, now congresswoman.
Mullin was not overwhelmed
as a newcomer. He had a pret-
ty good idea of what to
expect.
As assistant speaker pro tem, Mullin gets to preside over the
Assembly if Speaker John Perez is absent or if Speaker pro tem
Nora Campos, D-San Jose, is unavailable. But hes also part of
the leadership team. He has important committee assignments
including budget, local government, revenue and taxation. He is
already a major player since he rst took ofce in December.
***
Is there any chance Mullin could end up as speaker? Since
Willie Brown held the post from December 1980-June 1995,
most of the speakers of the Assembly have been Latino men
from Southern California. They included Cruz Bustamante
(96-98); Antonio Villaraigosa (98-2000); Fabian Nunez
(2004-07); John Perez (2010-present.) Meanwhile, the presi-
dents pro tem of the state Senate have been white men from
Northern California Bill Lockyer (East Bay), John Burton
(San Francisco), Don Perata (East Bay) and Darrell Steinberg
(Sacramento). Historically, the odds arent good. But things
could change now that new term limits have allowed ofcials
to stay in one legislative house longer. Whatever happens,
Mullin will certainly be in the running. The key is who will
be the new speaker when John Perez is termed out and who
will follow Steinberg in the state Senate (The new limits only
apply to the newly elected members of the Legislature).
***
As a former mayor and councilman in South San Francisco,
Mullin is aware of how the loss of redevelopment funds is hurt-
ing cities. He hopes to do something to ease the pain. Hes
introduced a bill to lower taxes for in-state manufacturing and
to allow about-to-become-18-year-olds to vote in the primary.
But not everything is a bed of roses. He is getting pushback on
his bill to make public pension systems more competitive when
theyre buying and selling real estate. Opponents object to limit-
ing public disclosure. There will be other legislation he will
champion. But right now, Mullins main focus is on leadership.
His district ofce at 1528 El Camino Real in San Mateo is
the former ofce of both Jerry Hill and dad Gene Mullin
when they were in the Assembly. Now state Sen. Jerry Hill is
just down the hall. Mullin has found an apartment in
Sacramento across the street from the Capitol. He spends
Monday-Wednesday nights there and then comes home to
wife Jessica who has her own busy career as Peninsula direc-
tor of the League of California Cities.

While the county is pursuing a whistleblower program,
Burlingame Councilwoman Terry Nagel is following up on con-
cerns about local government embezzlement presented at a
Council of Cities meeting she organized in October. Panelists
Joan Cassman of Hansen Bridgett, San Mateo County
Controller Bob Adler and San Mateo County Treasurer/Tax
Collector Sandie Arnott have complied a list of nancial safe-
guard questions for board members and councilmembers to ask.
These include: Do any employees handle cash, stamps or
checks? How many employees have credit cards? What protec-
tions are in place to protect against their misuse? What back-
ground checks are required before people are hired to supervise
or manage nances or investments? Are all employees required
to get anti-fraud training? Are budgets compared on a regular
basis to actual results to detect signicant variances? The days
of pilfering library nes, using credit cards for personal pleasure
or falsifying contracts may be dwindling. Embezzlers, beware!

BUSINESS 10
By Daniel Wagner
WASHINGTON Companies are rushing
to describe the impact of higher Social
Security taxes that took effect in January.
They paint a bleak picture.
Cash-strapped shoppers are spending less,
many U.S. firms warned in earnings
announcements over the past few weeks. They
are avoiding small luxuries like restaurant
meals and fashion items. And theyre recon-
sidering major new purchases. Wherever peo-
ple chose to cut back, those companies would
feel the pinch.
In the past, companies have blamed u epi-
demics, earthquakes and SARS for poor
results. The trouble, experts and analysts say,
is that these high-prole events are only part
of the story sometimes barely a sliver.
The latest culprit is a 2 percent increase in
the Social Security payroll tax, which all U.S.
wage earners pay. The rate was reduced tem-
porarily as a measure to boost the economy
out of recession, but that holiday ended on
Dec. 31. As a result, households earning
$50,000 will have about $1,000 less to spend
this year. A household with two high-paid
workers will have up to $4,500 less.
Any time something like this happens
whether Hurricane Sandy or the tsunami or
the payroll tax hike or uncertainty in
Washington any company that didnt per-
form as well as they would have liked gets to
say, Look, these idiots in Washington are
screwing it up for us, says Dan Greenhaus,
chief global strategist at BTIG, a brokerage
rm.
Greenhaus says he is not surprised by the
number of companies grousing about payroll
taxes. A catchy news hook can help compa-
nies blame a macrotrend for what may be a
micro story about their individual strengths
and weaknesses, he says.
Theres little doubt that the drop in take-
home pay will drag on economic growth.
Government economists estimate it will lower
economic output 0.6 percent this year.
Yet the tax talk ignores a host of trends, out-
side events and company-specific factors,
analysts say. They say investors should pay
closer attention to these factors when consid-
ering how a company might perform this year.
Take Darden Restaurants Inc., operator of
chains like Olive Garden and Red Lobster.
Like other casual sit-down restaurant compa-
nies, Darden faces tough competition from
chains like Chipotle Mexican Grill and Panera
Bread, whose food and prices fall somewhere
between fast-food and sit-down fare. Dardens
shares slid 28 percent between their recent
peak in September and Feb. 21, the day before
it lowered its earnings forecast.
But when the weaker forecast was
announced, Darden CEO Clarence Otis
blamed the payroll tax hike, along with gas
prices and winter weather. He said things had
looked promising for the restaurant chain in
late 2012 until these difcult macroeconom-
ic headwinds blew in. Sales dropped because
customers had less buying power, Otis said,
despite the restaurants price cuts and promo-
tions.
They arent executing as well as their com-
petitors, says Sara Senatore, an analyst at
Sanford C. Bernstein who covers the industry.
Fast food diners, generally lower-end than
Dardens casual dining clientele, cut spending
quickly when taxes rose, said Steve Wiborg,
North America president of Burger King
Worldwide, on an earnings call last month.
Wal-Mart offered a similar message when it
announced earnings, saying its core cus-
tomers, poor and middle-class Americans,
were spending less because of the payroll tax
hike, along with higher gas prices and delayed
tax refund checks.
Yet Wal-Mart and other discount retailers
saw potential benets from the tax squeeze.
Wal-Mart said it is condent that our low
prices will continue to resonate, as families
adjust to a reduced paycheck. Dollar Tree
executives said last week that their store
would provide a welcome alternative for
Americans seeking to cut back.
Were seeing the effect (of the payroll tax
hike) on the consumer, said CEO Bob Sasser,
but we think were part of the solution and a
destination for a cash-strapped consumer
whos trying to balance their budget.
Discount retailer stocks are rising. The TJX
Cos. Inc., operator of T.J. Maxx and
Marshalls, is up 6 percent this year, Ross
Stores Inc. 7.5 percent and Stein Mart Inc.
16.6 percent. Wal-Mart is up nearly 4 percent
since its earnings announcement on Feb. 21,
while Burger King has gained more than 9
percent since it unveiled results on Feb. 15.
Like the mid-range retailers and restaurants
that can blame their woes on tax policy,
lower-end stores may be trumpeting its bene-
ts to them too hastily, says Joesph LaVorgna,
chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank
Securities.
Payroll tax hike: Killer whale or red herring?
WASHINGTON The poor
rich.
With Washington gridlocked
again over whether to raise their
taxes, it turns out wealthy families
already are paying some of their
biggest federal tax bills in decades
even as the rest of the population
continues to pay at historically low
rates.
President Barack Obama and
Democratic leaders in Congress say
the wealthy must pay their fair share
if the federal government is ever
going to x its nances and reduce
the budget decit to a manageable
level.
A new analysis, however, shows
that average tax bills for high-
income families rarely have been
higher since the Congressional
Budget Ofce began tracking the
data in 1979. Middle- and low-
income families arent paying as
much as they used to.
For 2013, families with incomes
in the top 20 percent of the nation
will pay an average of 27.2 percent
of their income in federal taxes,
according to projections by the Tax
Policy Center, a research organiza-
tion based in Washington. The top 1
percent of households, those with
incomes averaging $1.4 million,
will pay an average of 35.5 percent.
Those tax rates, which include
income, payroll, corporate and
estate taxes, are among the highest
since 1979.
The average family in the bottom
20 percent of households wont pay
any federal taxes. Instead, many
families in this group will get pay-
ments from the federal government
by claiming more in credits than
they owe in taxes, including payroll
taxes. That will give them a negative
tax rate.
My sense is that high-income
people feel abused by being target-
ed always for more taxes, Roberton
Williams, a fellow at the Tax Policy
Center, said. You can understand
why they feel that way.
Last week, Senate Democrats
were unable to advance their pro-
posal to raise taxes on some wealthy
families for the second time this
year as part of a package to avoid
automatic spending cuts. The bill
failed Thursday when Republicans
blocked it. A competing Republican
bill that included no tax increases
also failed, and the automatic
spending cuts began taking effect
Friday.
The issue, however, isnt going
away.
Obama and Democratic leaders in
Congress insist that any future deal
to reduce government borrowing
must include a mix of spending cuts
and more tax revenue.
I am prepared to do hard things
and to push my Democratic friends
to do hard things, Obama said
Friday. But what I cant do is ask
middle-class families, ask seniors,
ask students to bear the entire bur-
den of decit reduction when we
know weve got a bunch of tax loop-
holes that are beneting the well-off
and the well-connected, arent con-
tributing to growth, arent contribut-
ing to our economy. Its not fair. Its
not right.
On Sunday, Senate Republican
Leader Mitch McConnell of
Kentucky said Republicans are
committed to reducing the budget
decit without raising taxes again.
In a separate broadcast interview,
White House economic adviser
Gene Sperling called that position
unreasonable.
The Democrats sequester bill
included the Buffett Rule, named
after billionaire investor Warren
Buffett. It gradually would phase in
a requirement that people making
more than $1 million a year pay at
least 30 percent of their income in
federal taxes.
Tax bills for rich families approach 30-year high
Strike affecting operations of Vegas taxi rm
The chief operating ofcer of Las Vegas second-largest taxi-
cab company acknowledges striking drivers are affecting his
operations.
Bill Shranko says Yellow-Checker-Star Transportation was
only able to ll two-thirds of its 600 cabs the rst shift after the
strike took effect early Sunday.
Nevada Taxicab Authority spokeswoman Teri Williams didnt
immediately respond to messages seeking comment on the
strikes overall effect on Las Vegas. The chief negotiator for the
union representing drivers says the main sticking points are over
pay and working conditions. Paul Bohelski says about 1,400 of
the companys 1,700 drivers are union members and over 1,000
of them are participating in the strike.
For Fla. citrus crop, its been a tough year
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Floridas citrus crop has suffered
huge losses this year, with fruit falling from trees and the over-
all forecast declining about 10 percent, but the problems should-
nt translate to a price increase at the breakfast table yet.
Experts and growers say warm, dry weather; too much fruit
on each tree; and citrus greening disease are the likely culprits.
Some say this is the year that greening which is caused by
a fast-spreading bacteria and is also known as HLB, or, in
Chinese, Huanglongbing nally translates into crop losses.
Greening is spread by insects, and there is no cure. It leaves fruit
sour and unusable, and eventually kills the infected tree.

pendent residential real estate company in California,

The wait is nally over.
For an entire season, the Burlingame bas-
ketball team played 5 on 6 every time they
took the court ve other girls in different
colored uniforms and a ghost.
Thats because for a year the Lady Panthers
heard about the historic and legendary 1988
Burlingame team that is immortal down on
Carolan Street by winning the Central Coast
Section and CIF state titles 25 years ago and
how they too had the potential to accomplish
something special.
Well now, after a convincing 62-48 victory
over Branham in the CCS Division III nals
on Saturday, the 2012-2013 Lady Panthers
will live forever.
The pressure applied by history was noth-
ing compared to the pressure the Panthers put
on themselves to begin this title run. With the
No. 1 seed in Division III in hand,
Burlingame knew anything short of a section
title would be a disappointing nish to a sea-
son that already featured a Peninsula Athletic
League South Division co-championship and

Finally.
With a word and a smile that hurled a heavy
load off the collective shoulders of a proud
basketball program, Burlingame High School

an entire city.
Finally. Finally the Burlingame boys bas-
ketball team is a Central Coast Section cham-
pion.
The 2012-13 Panthers did what no other
Burlingame team had done in its history
Saturday afternoon at Foothill College by
defeating Santa Cruz 54-51 and capturing the
CCS Division III title. In thrilling fashion and
in front of what felt like the entire city of
Burlingame, the Panther withstood a second-
half surge that saw the Cardinals wipe away a
10-point halftime decit (and one that actual-
ly reach 13 at different times) to take the lead
with 3:59 left in the game. But Loew, Connor
Haupt, Mikel Floro-Cruz, Willam Dobson
and the entire Burlingame team fueled a pas-
sionate four minutes of basketball that saw
the Panthers forge ahead and hold on.
I lot of people doubted us and didnt think
Panthers sweep party!

Foothill College, the Panthers played
like a well-oiled machine leaving
absolutely no doubt that 2012-13 is
their year.
It feels absolutely amazing, said
Burlingame guard Lauren Rally, who
had a tremendous game. Aside from
her 16 points, Rally was without a
doubt the games most consistent
player. Im on Cloud 9 right now.
Weve been dreaming about this and
wanting it really badly. Im so happy
we nally got it. We just kept our
minds together. We kept our cool. We
knew that if we played as a team, we
played hard, wed make it and win.
We all did our best.
Its really cool since we honored
that team on their 25th anniversary,
said Burlingame head coach Bill
Lepaltak. And to do something that
theyve done. I dont know whats
going to happen the next game or the
one after that, but these kids, Im so
proud of them. Thats why we do
this. Thats why all coaches do what
we do.
The Panthers dominated the game,
holding a basketball clinic through-
out. After taking a seven-point lead
after one quarter, that advantage
never dipped with Burlingame in
absolute control.
The key was composure and
defensive rebounding, said
Burlingame forward Nine Newman.
We executed the game plan. There
was no point during the game where
we were looking the scoreboard. We
were just playing.
Burlingame jumped out to a 15-5
lead after a hot start by Dana
Michaels and Lauren Rally.
Michaels was on re for the half, at
times looking like she couldnt miss
even if she tried. She was 5 of 7
shooting, all 3s (15 points) with her
final one of the half giving
Burlingame a 10-point lead they
actually increased to 12 on a great
hustle play by Lexi Elia.
I dont know. I just came out hot I
guess, Michaels said of her rst
half. I have those days sometimes.
Im just happy this was one of those
days. I was ready all week. I worked
hard at practice. I think we all
worked hard at practice.
The Panthers shot 58 percent as a
team in the rst half while their
defense held Branham offense to just
7 of 27 shooting.
We thought we could score and
we thought we could slow them
down with our press, Lepaltak said.
We werent trying to get a steal we
were just trying to get them to use 15
seconds off the shot clock. Were not
the kind of team that can run 30 sec-
onds off the shot clock. So what hap-
pens is, we need to run time off the
clock with our defense because
offensively were not that good when
were patient. Were way better when
we just kind of re it up. Most of the
time today, we scored in the rst six
or seven seconds of the shot clock.
After sitting out the majority of the
rst half with foul trouble, the third
quarter belonged to Newman. She
scored six points, grabbed three
rebounds, blocked a shot and dished
out a pair of assists to help
Burlingame maintain and increase its
lead 51-34. After an eight point rst
half, Rally scored another eight in
the third quarter alone while the
Bruins defense focused on Michaels.
Lauren Rally has an incredible
will, Lepaltak said. She is the
strongest willed kid that I have ever
coached.
Just not to play stupid, Rally said
when asked what the key to her game
was on Saturday. I knew I had to
make good passes, take smart shots. I
know I fouled out but I just knew to
play smart, play it safe.
The Panthers stayed efcient and
were never in any real danger come
the fourth quarter. They got the
champion party started early as
Lepaltak pulled seniors like
Newman, Nora Gustafson (4 points,
7 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 assists),
Rally and Michaels off the oor.
It was awesome, Michaels said
about coming off the oor with only
a couple ticks left on the clock. It
was crazy to think we won CCS.
Nobody thought we were going
to win a CCS championship,
Lepaltak said. No one thought we
were going to win the PAL champi-
onship. So, its cool for them.
The win was the 29th of the year
for the Panthers.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.
Michael Thompsons dream of
winning his rst PGA Tour event
was walking up the nal fairway
with a big lead and very little stress.
The reality was much different
Sunday in the Honda Classic.
He had a one-shot lead as he stood
in the 18th fairway, some 240 yards
from the ag with trouble in the way
in the shape of large lake. The motto
from his golf team at Alabama was
to nish strong, and Thompson
did just that.
Instead of laying up, he drilled a
5-wood into the bunker left of the
green, setting up a simple sand shot
and a birdie he didnt even need. He
closed with a 1-under 69, one of
only ve rounds under par on a pun-
ishing day at PGA National to nal-
ly become a PGA Tour winner.
That for me kind of sealed the
deal, Thompson said. It allowed
me to walk up the fairway and enjoy
the experience, see the crowd and ...
just nish strong.
The start wasnt bad, either.
Thompson holed a 50-foot eagle
putt on the third
hole, relied on a
superb short
game around the
toughest part of
the golf course to
build a four-shot
lead, and hung
on for a two-shot
win over Geoff
Ogilvy that takes
him places he
always wanted to be.
He gets into his rst World Golf
Championship next week at Doral,
and qualies for two more WGCs
this year at Firestone and in
Shanghai. Hes in the PGA
Championship, gets to start next
year in Hawaii and earned a two-
year exemption on the PGA Tour.
And to think just two weeks ago
he was so down after a 78-80 per-
formance at Riviera that he won-
dered if he would ever make anoth-
er cut.
This week was magical,
Thompson said. Just had a groove
and kept feeling it.
It turned out to be a big week for
Ogilvy, too.

You can hardly blame them.
When the public address
announcer at Santa Clara University
asked the captains of the Serra High
School basketball team to step up
and accept yet another Central
Coast Section runner-up trophy,
Henry Caruso, the face of the
Padres team, graciously did so.
But upon returning to the end of
the court to join the rest of his team-
mates, no one wanted to look at it,
let alone touch the trophy. And real-
ly, who can blame them?
For the fourth straight season, the
Serra basketball team reached the
CCS championship game only to
see their title hopes vanquished.
And for the second straight tourna-
ment, it happened at the hands of
CCS unstoppable basketball jug-
gernaut Archbishop Mitty.
After erasing a 29-21 halftime
decit and leading 36-35 with 2:59
left in the third quarter, Serras tank
hit empty and Mitty blitzed them to
the tune of 20-10 the rest of the way.
The result was a 55-46 end to
Serras Open Division title run and
the Monarchs fourth straight CCS
championship.
Theres denitely a lot of frus-
tration, said Serra head coach
Chuck Rapp. You want to be able
to nish the job and weve just
come up short four years in a row.
In basketball youll see that when
you make this great run, this great
surge and then theres nothing there
to nish it. So its kind of like run-
ning your hardest and coming up 10
feet short of the nish line and just
not having gas left in the tank.
There is nothing really complicat-
ed to dissect about Serras loss. Yes,
they shot less than 40 percent for
the game and were outrebounded
39-25. But all of Mittys statistical
advantages are rooted in the sec-
tions best player: Aaron Gordon.
No. 32 was once again dominant.
He nished with 24 points and 21
rebounds.
We got beat on the boards,
Rapp said. And you know, (Aaron)
Gordon is just, give him a lot of
credit, he just changes the game
with packing him in and trying to
help off him and every time we
did, he hit an open teammates, and
every time that open teammate hit
the shot. Hes just a hard cover. Hes
a big time player maybe the best
player in the United States. Hes in
that argument. Guys like that create
a lot of mismatches and they took
advantage of it.
Gordon established his domi-
nance early. Defensively, he fac-
tored into almost all of Serras
offensive looks. With the score tied
8-8, he sparked an 11-0 run that
bled into the second quarter and cul-
minated with the Monarchs already
up 22-11. Serra shot just 8 of 24 in
the rst half but was able to trim the
lead a bit to 29-21 behind a solid
two-quarter performance by Matt
Jajeh (8 points, 2 rebounds, 2
steals).
Gordons line at the half read 15
points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks, 3
steals and 2 assists.
The lead stayed there until Serra
finally found a little momentum
shooting the basketball in the third
quarter. Caruso hit from beyond the
arc, so did Sean Watkins, Andre
Miller and Jaqui Biggins, and with
three minutes left in the period,
Serra was up by 1.
But that was the only run Serra
could and would muster. Mitty and
Gordon responded, regaining the
lead and pushing it to four heading
in the nal period.
Whatever fire the Padres had
started in the third burnt out
emphatically in the fourth quarter.
With the Monarchs still relatively
efcient on offense, Serra could not
buy a bucket. In fact, Serra didnt
hit a eld goal until the 3:28 mark
of the period, a Watkins 3, that
trimmed the lead to ve.
Watkins trifecta was three of
Serras seven points in the fourth
period.
They really battled, Rapp said.
Theyre a credit to Serra High
School. Henry Caruso is just an
ambassador for Serra basketball.
Every game he leaves it out on the
oor, he battles, he competes and
its just a privilege to coach him and
Im proud of all the seniors and all
theyve done for the program. It
really means a lot to me.
That which doesnt destroy you
makes you stronger. Get knocked
down four times, you get up ve.
We just have to keep out hands up,
keep moving forward and see what
we can do at NorCals.
Serra runs into Mitty again
Members of the Serra basketball team look on as Archbishop Mitty is
announced the CCS Open Division champions Saturday night at Santa
Clara University.
STANFORD Chasson Randle was deter-
mined to not let Stanford blow another big
second-half lead. He got a big hand from sel-
dom-used Gabriel Harris to make sure.
With one more game until the Pac-12 tour-
nament, it was exactly the type of lift coach
Johnny Dawkins team needed.
Randle scored 22 points and matched his
career high with six assists, and Stanford
snapped its longest losing streak at home this
season with an 84-66 win over Utah on
Sunday.
Guys dug defensively and got stops when
we needed to, said Randle, who also
matched his career high of four 3-pointers.
Then we capitalized on the other end of the
oor. We did a good job of nding each other,
even in tough situations.
Four days after wasting a 10-point lead in
the second half of a 65-63 loss to Colorado,
Stanford jumped out to another big advantage
against Utah then had to hold on after a surge
by the Utes cut the Cardinals lead to 46-42
with 16 minutes left.
Randle provided the biggest boost.
He made a 3-pointer and added two free
throws, then later scored on a cutter through
the key to cap a 9-0 run. Stanford went on
another big run followed by Randles fourth 3
that put Stanford up 74-58.
We were able to withstand it, Dawkins
said. We were able to dig down, dig in and
get stops which gave us a chance to build our
lead back up. Youre not going to make that
run back on the offensive end. You have to dig
in.
Dwight Powell added 15 points, eight
rebounds and four assists while Harris had
career highs of 14 points and seven rebounds
off the bench for the Cardinal. Stanford (17-
13, 8-9 Pac-12) led by as many as 22 points,
using a big run in the second to pull away.
Blackhawks top Red Wings
DETROIT Patrick Kane had a couple
shots that simply could not be stopped.
Just like the Chicago Blackhawks.
Chicago extended its NHL-record season-
opening points streak to 22 games Sunday
when Kane scored the tying goal on a power
play with 2:02 left in regulation and the
Blackhawks earned an extra point when the
star forward scored the only goal in a shootout
of a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings.
Just amazing whats going on, Kane said.
Corey Crawford was perfect in the shootout
and nished with 32 saves to help Chicago
win a ninth straight game.

Sports brief
SPORTS 14
wed be very good this year, Loew,
who scored 17 points and brought down
16 rebounds, said. It felt good to prove
people wrong today.
I think the difference was, at the end
of the day, good teams nd a way to win
and we proved we are a good team,
Floro-Cruz said. We never gave up
throughout the whole game and its just
an amazing feeling.
The feeling for the team has to be
greater considering the season-long
journey undergone by the Panthers
from a coaching change to begin the
season, to a tough run through even
tougher non-league opponents, through
a 12-0 record in Peninsula Athletic
League South Division play, through a
disappointing loss in the PAL tourna-
ment seminals and then a couple of
nail-biting wins in the CCS playoffs
without a doubt, it was one of the cra-
zier rides in the entire section.
No. I thought we were going to try
and survive, said rst year head coach
Pete Harames when asked if he could
have ever envisioned standing as a CCS
champion when he took over the
Burlingame varsity team in August
2012. I thought we had good players
and the junior class is terric as far as,
Ive had them before. But, with the sen-
iors it took us a while to learn about each
other, see what was going on and it was
a tough preseason while we were trying
to adjust. They have that competitive
spirit.
Spirit
The Panthers needed every ounce of
that spirit Saturday afternoon.
Burlingame got out to a hot start from
the tip-off. They shot 6 of 9 from the
oor in the rst quarter led by Haupt and
his pair of 3-pointers. Loew also estab-
lished himself in the paint from the get-
go. Together they helped Burlingame
build a 16-10 lead.
I was just trying to take my time in
the post, Loew said of his start. I came
out and scored on the rst possession
and I rushed my shot in the second. As
soon as I did that my coaches told me to
slow down, take my time and thats what
I did. I tried to get in a good rhythm
inside.
Burlingames hot start bled over to the
second quarter after another Haupt tri-
fecta and Loew bucket made it 23-10 as
part of an 11-0 Panther run. For the half,
Burlingame shot 46 percent and led 27-
17 at recess.
There were no real signs of let-up to
start the second half for the Panthers.
The Cardinals pushed but every time
they did, someone Floro-Cruz,
Haupt, Loew was there to push right
back.
Not by accident
But Santa Cruz didnt reach the DIII
nal by accident. The Cardinals big run
of the game manifested itself in the form
of Spencer Schwartz who burnt white-
hot when Burlingames lead reached 38-
25. No. 23 hit 10-straight points in a solo
run that ran into the fourth quarter and
ignited his Santa Cruz teammates, bench
and fans. By the time Burlingame could
control the ames, and actually hit a
shot to respond, the Cardinals led 45-44
with 3:59 left on the clock.
We had them by 10 there for a while
and they battled back credit them,
they came out with some re in the sec-
ond half, Haupt said. But at the end of
the day, I know my guys wanted it
more.
They (Santa Cruz) made their run in
a six-minute area where we could still
compete, Harames said, and so it
became a game, possession against pos-
session. Once it got to a 1, 2-point game,
now our concentration was focused.
Maybe the rst part of the run, we
were on heels a little bit but as got into
it, weve been through that the entire
season, Floro-Cruz, who finished with
eight points, said. Weve come back
from huge deficits. My team is great.
Everyone does their part. But I knew
that when my team needed me, I could
step up. I was ready for the moment.
As it turned out, the entire
Burlingame team was ready for that
moment. After years of reaching CCS
finals and folding under pressure,
2012-13 was the season when the
Panthers chose to seize the champi-
onship opportunity. They needed heavy
doses of hustle by Dobson, Chris
Graham and Grant Goodman on the
boards, and clutch free throw shooting
by Haupt and Floro-Cruz.
With 4.5 seconds left in the game,
Santa Cruz hit its final basket to make
it a 52-51 game in favor of the Panthers
and then fouled Haupt on the inbound
with 3.1 seconds left.
And perhaps there is nothing more
fitting or poetic than having
Burlingames poster boy on the free
throw line with the schools first ever
boys CCS title at stake. Calmly, Haupt
hit the pair.
I always want the ball in my hands
when its crunch time, Haupt said. I
just tried to come in shooting like any
other game come out firing when I
have the open shot. They were going
down in the first half and it felt good
and thankfully it turned out well for us.
Its the best feeling Ive ever had in
my life. By far. Definitely it was a
tough start (to the season). We transi-
tioned to a new coach. But I couldnt be
happier. We have the best coaches in
the world. We started off a little slow.
We had a tough preseason schedule.
Everyone doubted us. Everyone
thought we were going to finished sixth
in the PAL and now were here champi-
ons of CCS, Haupt, who led
Burlingame with 22 points, said.
Defense
I think rebounding today and
defense was key, Loew said postgame.
I mean, we did give up a lot of offen-
sive rebounds, but in the end, we closed
it out and we did the things that we
needed to do to win. Mikel missed last
year and he came out this year with a
fire Ive never seen. Hes a great point
guard. We wouldnt have won without
him.
Personally, I love the underdog men-
tality that we had. We missed three
months (with the coaching change), so
were three months behind every other
school. So when you have that, you
automatically have a re inside you and
you just come out and win. You have to
bust your ass, try and play your hardest
and do everything you can to win.
Thats what weve been doing all season
long.
Its something the Panthers have done
throughout their history.
And it all came together on Saturday
afternoon. Finally.

NFL tryout lasts
all of two kicks
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. Lauren Silberman lined up for
a kick at NFL history, took a deep breath and booted the foot-
ball.
It barely went anywhere, traveling 19
yards, and she grabbed at her right leg.
Still, it was good enough to make her
the rst woman to try out at a regional
combine, even if her day lasted all of two
kicks.
With the 36 other kickers all male
a handful of scouts and more than two
dozen media watching in complete silence
at the New York Jets practice facility,
Silberman struggled for about 20 seconds
to place the football on the tee before
measuring her steps and then trying that second kick.
This one went only about 13 yards.
She then asked to see a trainer and left the practice eld
after injuring her quadriceps, and appeared to be slightly
favoring her right leg.
They certainly didnt go as far as they were in practices,
Silberman said, but I tried to work through the pain.
Rockies pitchers wild
in 7-2 loss to Athletics
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Todd Helton gures his 17th sea-
son with the Colorado Rockies will be his last.
The 39-year-old rst baseman went 0 for 2 in his spring
training debut Sunday, a 7-2 loss to the Oakland Athletics.
Playing for the rst time since hip surgery and a drunk driving
arrest, Helton popped up and grounded out at Salt River Fields.
I felt good. I wished Id felt better at the plate. My timing
wasnt there, said Helton, who received a loud and extended
ovation from fans. Now its all about getting out there and
getting reps. You want to be peaking when youre breaking
camp. My goal is to be ready for the season.
Its been a difcult offseason for the longtime Rockies star,
who had surgery to repair a torn labrum in August. Entering
the nal year of his contract, he was arrested and charged with
drunken driving last month.
Helton said he starting hitting in late November, two months
earlier than usual, to assess his physical and mental feel for the
game. He quickly decided he wanted to play in 2013, and the
.320 career hitter with 2,420 hits is eager to erase the taste of
a .238 season that was shortened to 69 games.
I wanted to see if I could still swing it a little bit and by the
third or fourth (session) I was already getting excited, Helton
said.

win over the Knights this season,
but also on pace to win a sixth CCS
title when they found the back of the
net just before halftime.
But 17 minutes into the second
half, Menlo converted a penalty
kick and the teams spent the rest of
regulation and 20 minutes of over-
time looking for a game winner that
never came.
As a result, the teams nished in a
1-1 tie and a share of the CCS
crown.
It feels weird to end in a tie,
said Menlo coach Marc Kerrest.
But I think its a fair result.
This is the rst CCS boys soccer
title for the Knights and sixth for the
Gators, who werent necessarily
thrilled with the result.
I dont know what to feel, said
SHP coach Armando Del Rio. The
guys dont feel like a CCS champi-
on. It may take some time to digest
it.
We have to give credit to Menlo.
Beating a team three times (in one
season) is tough.
Del Rio said he believes the fact
the fth-seeded Gators were facing
10th-seeded Menlo for the third
time may have caused his team to
feel a lot of nerves. The Gators beat
the Knights 1-0 in the rst meeting
of the season and recorded another
one-goal victory later in the cam-
paign.
Third time the charm?
Would the third time be the charm
for Menlo?
Not quite, but Del Rio felt fortu-
nate to come away with a piece of
the title.
I thought we could have done a
lot better. I think [my team] was a
little bit tense. They came in with a
little bit of tension, Del Rio said.
At the end of the day, we had 100
minutes to change it (the outcome).
And at times, were kind of fortu-
nate to get a co-championship.
Kerrest said his team was deter-
mined to change its fortunes against
its archrival.
We havent beaten then in six
years. I think they (the Gators)
expected to come here and clean us
off pretty easily, Kerrest said. Its
a heated rivalry and they had our
number during league. But we knew
CCS was a second chance for us.
After an evenly played rst half,
Sacred Heart Prep (18-2-4) scored
what can be a back-breaking goal
just before halftime, based on pure
hustle from striker Andrew Segre.
As the ball rolled toward the Menlo
end line, Segre sprinted 30 yards
and won a 50-50 ball from a Menlo
defender. Segre turned, and from a
tough angle, sent a shot on frame.
Willy Lamb was stationed right in
front of the goalmouth and appeared
to nod it in, but Del Rio said Lamb
told him he didnt touch it, giving
Segre the goal.
Those goals right before halftime
can have a deating effect on teams,
but Menlo (15-5-4) came out in the
second half with even more deter-
mination. Seventeen minutes into
the second half, Menlo Striker Max
Parker made a strong run through
the SHP defense. As he got to the
top of the Gators penalty box, the
SHP goalkeeper came way off his
line to challenge Parker, who was
poised to go around the keeper but
was taken down in the box, earning
a penalty kick.
Spot kick
In a twist, Kerrest called on goal-
keeper Timmy Costa to take the spot
kick. Costa, who was solid all game
between the posts for the Knights,
calmly slotted his shot into the left
corner of the net for the equalizer.
Weve had three different penal-
ty kicks this year and missed all
three, Kerrest said. I have a load
of condence in Tim. Timmy Costa
had an amazing game. Hes been
amazing all year.
The Gators applied a lot of pres-
sure during the rest of regulation,
out-shooting the Knights 7-2 in the
second half, but could not nd the
game winner. The Gators best
chance at victory in regulation came
late off a throw in. Robert
Hellmans header was parried away
by Costa, but the rebound went right
to Daniel Thaure, who hit his fol-
low-up shot wide.
Overtime
SHP had the best chance in over-
time to pull out the victory. After a
relatively uneventful rst 10-minute
overtime period, it was another
Hellman header in the second 10-
minute overtime period that nearly
put the Gators ahead. Off a corner
kick, Hellman whipped a header on
frame that appeared destined for the
left corner.
But Menlos Jackson Wagner was
there to head the ball out of danger
off the goal line to preserve the tie
and the co-championship.
Which is OK in Kerrests book.
Were CCS champs. Were going
to look at the glass as half full,
Kerrest said. At the end of the day,
we get to put a (CCS championship)
banner up (in our gym).
RIVALS
season in school history. With Saturdays tie,
Woodside became the only girls team in CCS
to nish with an unbeaten record, nishing
with a 19-0-4 mark, along with a Peninsula
Athletic League Bay Division championship.
The CCS title is just icing on the cake, as far
as Woodside coach Jose Navarrete is con-
cerned.
We didnt even set (a goal) this high,
Navarrete said. We just wanted to get better
(Every practice, every game).
If there was any question the Wildcats
belonged on the eld with Santa Teresa,
which boasts a number of players in the U.S.
National Team pool, they answered it with a
dominating rst half, during which Woodside
put pressure on the Santa Teresa defense the
Saints had not experienced this season. With a
number of eet-footed forwards, Navarrete
constantly kept fresh legs up top as he rotated
a number of players into the attack.
Freshman Jilliene Aguilera was especially
dangerous, as was sophomore Lauren
Holland, junior Heather Seybert and Alegra
Stangvik. The Wildcats spent the opening 40
minutes keeping the Saints defense on its
heels as the Wildcats spent almost the entire
rst half in the Saints ends of the eld and
out-shot Santa Teresa 6-1.
The only thing that was missing was that
one goal, Navarrete said. I think one goal
was going to decide this thing. We threw
everything at them.
The Wildcats gave so much in the rst half
that they appeared to be a bit gassed in the
second half on a day during which tempera-
tures soared into the mid-70s. Santa Teresa,
which spent the rst half with little time due
to Woodside pressure, started stringing passes
together in the rst half and nding itself with
much more time to make decisions. The
Saints had a much easier job in the mideld
and they were the ones pressuring the
Woodside defense, which much like their
Saints counterparts, were unbeatable.
We shot so much (of our effort) in the rst
half. Maybe we should have let off a little bit,
Navarrete said. We gave up the mideld (in
the second half) because of a lack of numbers
and a lack of legs. Fatigue was denitely a
factor. We knew we would give up some
counter, but at the end of every counter, we
had (sweeper) Gianna (Rosati).
Rosati was rock solid as the last line of
defense, time and again clearing away any
danger the Saints might have presented.
Over the nal 15 minutes of regulation,
however, Woodside found its legs again and
went on the attack, looking for that elusive
goal. The Wildcats earned three corners dur-
ing that time, but could not hook up with
Rosati, the teams leading scorer and deadly
with her head on corners.
Woodside continued its assault in the two
10-minute overtime periods, but just could not
convert. The Wildcats best chance came early
in the second overtime period when Katie
Pedigo made a long run down the left sideline.
She whipped a cross into the Santa Teresa
penalty box where she found Mackenzie
Person, who one-timed a shot attempt. But it
was blocked by a Santa Teresa defender and
never even made it on goal.
Despite not securing the outright title,
Navarrete had little to complain about after
the game.
The heart I wasnt sure of came out today.
Everything they had they gave on the eld,
Navarrete said. I took a bunch of kids who
had no business being here, not yet anyway.
Everything we asked of them (this season),
they did.

MENS HOOPS
By John Marshall
AVONDALE, Ariz. Carl
Edwards climbed from his car,
stood on the door and landed a
backip near the nish line. He
then hopped up on the wall in front
of the grandstand, grabbed the
checkered ag and waded into the
crowd, trading high-ves with fans.
After a miserable week at
Daytona, Edwards had plenty to
celebrate.
That it came at Phoenix
International Raceway only seemed
tting.
Coming through on his promise
to dominate after his Daytona dis-
aster, Edwards pulled away on a
late restart and snapped a 70-race
winless streak on Sunday, the sec-
ond long drought hes ended at
Phoenix.
This win feels as good or better
as any win Ive ever had, Edwards
said.
Edwards had a rough 2012 sea-
son, missing the Chase for the
championship. His downward spi-
ral continued at Daytona, where he
wrecked ve cars. On his way out
of Florida, Edwards said he was
ready to dominate and win at
Phoenix.
He did just that, leading the nal
78 laps on the 312-lap race around
PIRs odd-shaped oval in the rst
non-restrictor-plate race with
NASCARs new Gen-6 car.
Edwards got a good push from
defending Sprint Cup champion
Brad Keselowski on the restart with
two laps left and pulled away from
there, winning for the rst time
since Las Vegas in 2011.
After parking his car at the nish
line, Edwards landed his rst back-
ip in nearly two years and cele-
brated with the fans just like he
did at PIR after ending another 70-
race winless streak in 2010.
Im sure its a relief for someone
like Carl, said Denny Hamlin, who
nished third and had a long win-
less streak end at Phoenix last year.
Hes now relevant again, he really
is and its a good sign for their race
team for things to come.
The big duel came behind
Edwards.
Despite struggling with his car
most of the day, Hamlin made a
bold move on the last lap with a
pass on the apron below the dogleg.
He popped up alongside Daytona
500 winner Jimmie Johnson and the
two drag-raced to the nish, where
Johnson edged him by a few inches.
Keselowski, who was outside
Johnson during Hamlins move, n-
ished fourth and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
ended up fth.
As far down as I was, I was com-
mitted, there was nothing that I was
going to do where I would back
out, Hamlin said. I just hoped I
would have just slid in front of the
48, then you risk getting punted and
spun, and your whole day youve
worked everything for is taken
away in a corner. I held my line and
thought I really did the right thing
and gave those guys room to pass
me back and one of them did.
Edwards ends long drought at Phoenix
DATEBOOK 17
I
n Malcolm Gladwells book Outliers,
he suggests it takes about 10,000 hours
of dedicated practice to master a skill.
This could apply to a computer programmer
or hacker, a baker or boxer, rock star or rock
scientist. His rule accounts for luck and
privilege, such as that rock scientist being
born into a family that enables her to attend
college. Our resident spay/neuter veterinari-
an, Dr. Steve Sweetser, believes the theory.
Hes performed 60,000 spay/neuter surgeries
in his 11-plus years with the Peninsula
Humane Society & SPCA and joined us
well into his professional career, so his total
of dog and cat xes is much higher. He
can neuter a cat in about two minutes and
wrap up a male dog in ve to 10 minutes.
Dr. Sweetsers domain, our low-cost
Spay/Neuter Clinic, has served this commu-
nity since 1970, making surgeries affordable
for local residents. The fee to x a cat, for
example, is $50 or $60 (for females). For
dogs, its $80 to $140, with large females on
the high end. By comparison, getting your
pet xed at a private veterinary clinic could
cost $400 or more. Were thankful that our
local veterinary community fully under-
stands that offering low-cost xes is vital to
our mission and helps us control this com-
munitys number of unwanted animals.
Occasionally, pet owners question the quali-
ty, reasoning it might be lacking since our
price is so low. If anything, the opposite is
true. Since Dr. Sweeter and our other staff
veterinarians perform spay and neuter sur-
geries so often, this is our specialty. Cat
owners can make an appointment and often
get in the following day. Folks with small,
male dogs can get into our clinic in less than
a week, while those with large male dogs
have a 10- or 11-day wait. The wait time for
female dogs is about two and a half weeks.
To make an appointment, please call

LOS ANGELES It wasnt
exactly a mighty victory, but Jack
the Giant Slayer won the weekend
at the box ofce.
The Warner Bros. 3-D action
extravaganza, based on the Jack and
the Beanstalk legend, made just $28
million to debut at No. 1, according
to Sunday studio estimates. It had a
reported budget of just under $200
million.
But the studio also hit a milestone
on the global front with Peter
Jacksons fantasy epic The Hobbit:
An Unexpected Journey crossing
the $1 billion mark worldwide. The
rst of three lms based on the clas-
sic J.R.R. Tolkien novel has made
$301.1 domestically and $700 mil-
lion internationally.
Jack the Giant Slayer comes
from Bryan Singer, director of The
Usual Suspects and the rst two
X-Men movies. It stars Nicholas
Hoult, Ewan McGregor, Ian
McShane and Stanley Tucci.
Among other new releases, the
college romp 21 & Over from
Relativity Media made only $9 mil-
lion this weekend to open in third
place. And the horror sequel The
Last Exorcism Part II from CBS
Films debuted in fourth place with
just over $8 million.
Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros.
executive vice president of theatri-
cal distribution, said Jack the Giant
Slayer opened lower than the stu-
dio had hoped, but hes encouraged
by its CinemaScore, which was a B-
plus overall and an A among view-
ers under 18. One bit of good news
for Jack is that it had a 56-percent
uptick from Friday to Saturday, sug-
gesting strong word-of-mouth and
more family audiences for the PG-
13 adventure.
That tells us that the audiences
that are seeing it really do like it,
Goldstein said. The international
opening in Asia has been very
strong the 3-D component of the
special effects works in a big way
outside the domestic marketplace.
Jack the Giant Slayer made
$13.7 million in 11 international
territories for a worldwide total of
$41.7 million. Internationally, A
Good Day to Die Hard, the fifth
film in the blockbuster Bruce
Willis franchise, was the big win-
ner of the weekend with $18.3 mil-
lion for a global total of nearly
$222 million.
Domestically, this is the sixth
weekend in a row that movie ticket
sales are down, said Paul
Dergarabedian, box-ofce analyst
for Hollywood.com. He pointed out
that many of the action pictures
aimed at men this year including
Snitch, The Last Stand, Bullet
to the Head and Parker have
been disappointments at the box
ofce.
Other lms have done OK but
we need to do better than OK to
keep up with last years pace, he
said. Where is the audience? I
dont want to overstate this, but
where are the guys?
Among the few bright spots, the
Jason Bateman-Melissa McCarthy
comedy Identity Thief has
become the rst lm to cross the
$100 million mark this year. Now in
its fourth week in theaters, the
Universal movie has made $107.4
million.
This is a tough marketplace right
now. Everything is underperform-
ing, Dergarabedian said. There
hasnt been a huge breakout hit yet.
For every Identity Thief there have
probably been 10 other lms that
have underperformed.
Meanwhile, winners at last week-
ends Academy Awards, including
Argo, Silver Linings Playbook
and Life of Pi, are still sticking
around in the top 20 after several
months in theaters, further under-
scoring the weakness of recent new
releases.
But Dergarabedian was optimistic
that things will turn around with the
opening next week of Disneys Oz
the Great and Powerful, a much-
anticipated prequel to The Wizard
of Oz starring James Franco and
directed by Sam Raimi. Its expect-
ed to open in the $75-100 million
range.
We need the cavalry to arrive
and we need them soon, he said.
Maybe James Franco is the caval-
ry.

LOCAL 19
December 1996
UA the movies, later known as Metro
Center 6 at 200 Colma Blvd. opened in 1987
but closed in 2003 and razed.
The Burlingame and Peninsula Twin
Drive-In at 350 Beach Road in Burlingame.
Capacity of 1,500 cars was good but the loca-
tion confused drivers and many gave up and
left without getting off Highway 101. It
remodeled and reopened with two more
screens and was called the Burlingame 4. It
closed in 2001 and plans for a bio-tech center
at this site have been talked about.
The Redwood Drive-In, with a capacity of
1,300 cars, opened at 557 E. Bayshore Blvd.
June 14, 1961. Its screen measured 90 feet in
height and 130 feet in width. By the mid-70s,
it had expanded to four screens. It boasted a
large childrens playground and a huge snack
bar that provided plenty of soft drinks, pop-
corn and pizza to keep the kids happy as mom
and dad sat in their car enjoying the movies. It
closed Sept. 13, 1967 and was torn down.
Three years later, the Century Park 12 opened
on May 18, 1990 but closed in 2006.
Century 20 opened at Broadway and
Theater Way next to the Fox in Redwood City.
Theater-in-the-round (Hyatt Music
Theater) at 1304 Bayshore Highway in
Burlingame opened Sept. 5, 1964. Broadway
shows and big name stars were thought to be
the key to success in the $2.5 million, 2,500-
seat innovation but it wasnt professional
enough for the Peninsula crowd and it folded
only 18 months after it opened. On March 29,
1966, however, it opened after remodeling as
Hyatt Cinema and it reopened six years later
as the Hyatt Twin after being cut in half. On
Oct. 5, 2006, in its last gasp tried to succeed
as a tri-plex. It nally closed April 20, 2007
and now stands empty.

HISTORY
Ryan Seacrest.
When she was rst approached by
producers of the show several years ago,
she turned down an offer to audition. She
recently decided to seek out the show
again when she was ready to look for
love.
I was at the point in my life where I
was single, she said. I thought it could
be a good t for me.
At 24, McBride was not necessarily
looking to get engaged to this seasons
bachelor Sean Lowe.
In reality, I just thought that Im a
hopeless romantic, she said. [I
thought] if I found someone I had a con-
nection with, who knows what would
happen.
Living on camera
The rst night of the show, McBride
arrived at a mansion in Los Angeles to
meet Lowe, along with 24 other women.
I was a complete nervous wreck, she
said. There were all of these other beau-
tiful women.
When she was not sleeping, McBride
was being followed by cameras, but it
did not take her long to adjust to the
limelight.
I became completely comfortable
with all the cameras, she said.
As the speed-dating progressed, bach-
elor Lowe took women on group dates
and selected others for romantic one-on-
one dates. At the end of each week of
dating, he would eliminate women with
who he did not foresee a lifelong part-
nership.
Unfortunately for McBride, she did
not secure an exotic one-on-one date.
Her group dates were activities that she
would never do on a real-world date. She
competed with other girls in a volleyball
game in Los Angeles and in a relay race
in Montana.
When she was eliminated after the
fth week, she was the only girl left who
had not had a one-on-one date with
Lowe. She fought back tears after she did
not receive a rose from Lowe at the end
of the week.
Obviously Im hurt, she said after
she was eliminated in the shows rose
ceremony. I never got that shot with
him, and then all of sudden Im leaving.
Really Reality?
While many viewers are skeptical of
just how real Lowe is, McBride said he
was as great in reality as he seems on tel-
evision.
He is very real and honest, she said.
Hes goofy too.
Many bachelors say they are looking
for love, but what is unique about Lowe
is he is seriously looking for his wife, she
said.
I really think he was ready, said
McBride, who hopes that it will work out
for him in the end.
From rock climbing to yachting in
exotic locations, the dates on the show
are nothing short of fantasies. While
many say the fancy dates are unrealistic,
McBride said they can reveal ones true
character.
I think you should experience abnor-
mal situations and see how you react in
that environment, she said.
Sparking a connection
McBride felt there was a mutual
attraction between her and
Lowe, but she noticed that
she did not have the same
connection with him that
some of the other women
had.
I was hopeful that I
would spend more time
with him, but he
grew stronger feel-
ings for others, she
said. I felt I didnt
get enough time.
On the other hand,
she surprisingly forged
friendships with some of
the women she was
competing against.
Its one of the best experiences I took
from the show, she said of living with
the other women. We were each others
survival.
The journey was also about self-dis-
covery for McBride.
What I took from it was that its OK
to open up about love and put your heart
out there, she said.
Moving on
Now having worked behind and in
front of the cameras, McBride says she
would be open to another opportunity to
be on reality television.
In the meantime, she is back in the dat-
ing world with a new vision of her ideal
relationship.
[The show] opened me up to know-
ing what Im looking for, she said.
McBride attended Carlmont High
School and was on the swim team.
Looking back on her high school days,
she remembers being runner-up for
homecoming queen and embarrassing
herself in front of her biggest crush.
She was walking straight toward him
in platform shoes.
I looked so cute that day, she said.
Her condence quickly fell away
when she tripped and fell in front of him.
I literally fell at on my face, she
said. It was the most embarrassing
moment ever.
Today, McBride prides herself on hav-
ing a positive outlook on life. She
believes everything happens for a reason.
She has traveled to Mexico and
Europe, and enjoys meeting new peo-
ple. McBride helped start Real
Options for City Kids (RockSF), a
mentoring program in San
Francisco.
She is currently living in
Belmont.

packet.
Grocott was prompted by seeing the police vehicles that once
bore the citys name along with the Sheriffs Ofce star be switched
to only the former so that the county law enforcement can more eas-
ily move its equipment among the cities that contract with it.
Were not going to get that back so I asked myself what are some
other ways we can bring about some identity to the city? Things
like that can be important to employees as well as the commission-
ers and staff, Grocott said.
Grocott broached the idea at the City Councils recent strategic
planning retreat. The council will consider it, along with other top-
ics raised at the retreat, at a future council meeting.
But while the other councilmembers didnt dismiss the idea, the
reaction was mixed. Vice Mayor Bob Grassilli, for one, wants to
iron out the details rst mainly the price tag.
I dont mind spending and Im not saying Im against it. Some
dollars might not be very much if its a good thing for the commu-
nity but we shouldnt necessarily spend public money arbitrarily,
he said.
Grassilli compared the clothing proposal to that of an ofcial city
coin by former mayor Omar Ahmad. Grassilli and Grocott both
voted against the idea in April 2011 but it passed and the city now
hands out the coins as a thank you, congratulations, honor or mark
of important circumstances. The cost of 300 coins was $2,500.
Grassilli opposed the coin because of the cost but concedes the
city is in better nancial shape now.
Councilman Ron Collins favors the idea of city attire as not only
a sense of identity but a source of pride among employees. Collins
said a City of Good Living baseball hat he received from the new
re department upon joining the council is his hat of choice and
he is similarly proud to wear a city T-shirt.
If the plan doesnt cost too much, he thinks the city should
explore the idea.
Grocott also takes price into consideration and said some of the
work may already be under way as part of the citys earlier efforts
at rebranding itself. The company hired by the city churned out
some coffee cups and shirts as examples of what could be done and
Grocott said those might be a good starting point.
Price aside, Grocott said the goal is to let San Carlos residents
and workers know they are still a united community despite the
Sheriffs Ofce having taken over police, some parks services hav-
ing been outsourced and Redwood City in negotiations to fully
absorb the re department.
Grassilli isnt so sure thats a problem.
My philosophy is that folks in San Carlos appreciate the servic-
es but dont necessary ask where the people live, he said.

she used district-provided or public
transportation options, according to a
staff report.
Finding a new home for Peninsula has
been an ongoing conversation.
In 2010, a district advisory committee
found that Crestmoor High School could
be considered surplus if a new, appropriate
home could be found for the alternative
school Peninsula High and the other dis-
trict services currently housed on the site.
During a January 2012 study session
about Measure O, a $186 million bond
measure passed in November 2010, the
board agreed a new facility for the alter-
native school should be the next priority
for the money. Trustees told staff to
research all options placing the
school on land at Hillsdale or San Mateo
high schools, purchasing new land or
remodeling the Crestmoor site in San
Bruno where the school is currently
located. Laurence then held meetings
with local groups and elected ofcials
explaining the pros and cons of the vari-
ous options before the board took up the
topic.
The possibility of moving the facility
to either San Mateo or Hillsdale high
school has spurred opposition at each
school, by law enforcement ofcials and
the San Mateo City Council, as well as
in the community including two
online petitions. This is the rst meeting
of the board on the topic since the idea
came under re from the community last
summer.
Laurence is no longer suggesting
Hillsdale be a consideration. San Mateo
Unions enrollment is expected to grow
in the southern part of the district. The
space at Hillsdale will most likely be
needed to accommodate that growth.
Renovating Crestmoor is also no longer
suggested by Laurence since it would
not x the long commute time for stu-
dents.
Another aspect to this conversation is
the Crestmoor High School site which
was previously deemed to be unused or
unneeded land for educational purposes
if Peninsula was relocated. The decision
opens up the option to sell the property,
a move San Bruno residents have widely
criticized. But that topic is not whats
being considered at this time.
The board meets 5:30 p.m. Thursday,
March 7 at the Aragon Theater, 900
Alameda de las Pulgas, San Mateo.

sider buying camera equipment to rent
out to others as a way to make extra
money.
She found a shop she liked to rent from
in her hometown and told her son and
best friend Max Shevyakov to at least
check it out.
They mulled it over, saw that the store
Gurevichs mom rented from was always
busy and decided to take the plunge.
The two were friends since attending
school together in Aurora, Colo. but were
living thousands of miles apart when the
idea was rst posed.
Shevyakov had worked in Silicon
Valley at Hewlett-Packard and then
another startup as he and Gurevich decid-
ed to dive into starting their own business.
At rst, we thought it would be an
after-school activity that earned us extra
beer and travel money, said Shevyakov,
32, who earned a masters degree in com-
puter science from Columbia University.
So, in 2007, the two bought some cam-
era equipment with their own life savings
and started the business in Shevyakovs
spare bedroom in San Mateo.
The business started with two Trader
Joes bags lled with camera equipment
and plenty of credit card debt.
They set up their website for online
rentals and the orders started to come in
slowly. Two months later, however, the
business turned into a full-time job and
the two knew they were on to something
good.
They put all the prots back into buy-
ing equipment.
The hardest part in the early days,
Shevyakov said, was keeping up with the
inventory. He also credits his wife for
sticking by him while he undertook the
new venture and ran up the charges on the
credit card. In the beginning, the two
childhood friends lled all the orders,
handled the shipping, cleaned the equip-
ment and ne-tuned the companys web-
site.
The demand was clearly there, he
said.
They opened a small shop in San
Mateo then moved to a space on
Industrial Road in San Carlos where the
company is currently headquartered.
They have since signicantly expanded
their San Carlos headquarters and have
just opened a new warehouse in the
Boston area, where Gurevich now lives
and works.
The two bags of original camera equip-
ment has now turned into a thriving busi-
ness with 60 employees operating on two
coasts.
Its customers are those who want to try
out new equipment before they buy it,
hobbyists, nature lovers and travelers.
Its newest customers, however, include
corporate clients such as Al Jazeera,
Showtime, the BBC, Facebook, Google,
Adobe and many other high-tech compa-
nies in the area.
Borrowlenses.com now rents audio and
video equipment, which is its fastest-
growing sector, Shevyakov said.
Equipment can also be picked up at sev-
eral locations in the Bay Area or be
shipped directly.
Shevyakov even hired his father to be
the companys accountant.
Its good to have someone you trust
handle the money, he said.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Hillsborough will hold its second
town meeting next week to discuss
wireless communications facilities
and the towns aesthetic character.
In 2006, Hillsborough rst adopt-
ed a wireless communications ordi-
nance to regulate the location of
wireless communications facilities
in the town in a manner that recog-
nizes the benets of wireless com-
munications technology while
accommodating the values of the
community. Specic points of the
ordinance reduce visual effects of
wireless communications facilities,
preserve the rural character of the
town, encourage co-location of
facilities and locate facilities where
impacts on the towns residents are
minimized.
Since this ordinance was adopted,
there have been many changes in
the wireless industry, including the
implementation of new technology
and equipment, new legislation and
court rulings, and direction from the
Federal Communications
Commission. In February 2012,
Congress made a sweeping change
to the Federal Telecommunications
Act requiring that certain types of
wireless projects be allowed by state
and local governments. In light of
these changes, the Hillsborough
City Council adopted a moratorium
on the processing of all wireless
communication facilities in
September. The moratorium allows
the community and staff an oppor-
tunity to study the issue of how to
properly balance wireless needs,
infrastructure impacts and commu-
nity aesthetics, and then to develop
a new town wireless ordinance to
reect that balance.
In neighboring Burlingame,
desires to regulate wireless commu-
nications facilities was a hot topic
starting in the summer of 2011.
ExteNet submitted an antenna
proposal to address gaps. That led to
an long community process with a
request by residents for a moratori-
um to study the issue and draft rules
a request the city granted. New
rules developed by the Wireless
Telecommunications Working
Group, which included residents and
city ofcials, were adopted in 2012.
The moratorium also covered
ExteNets applications resulting in a
lawsuit from the company claiming
the city purposely delayed the appli-
cations. In February, the two sides
were ordered to mediation. The suit
is still in court.
Burlingame staff ultimately
approved eight applications from
ExteNet to attach wireless commu-
nication boxes to existing poles in
the public right-of-way. Residents
appealed that decision and the coun-
cil agreed to uphold the appeal on
six of the eight applications in April.
The council will meet 6 p.m.
Monday, March 11 at Town Hall,
1600 Floribunda Ave.
Hillsborough to discuss rules for wireless communication

PisCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Trying to be all things
to all people wont get you the kind of approval
youre seeking. If you want people to like you, just
be yourself.
aries (March 21-April 19) -- Help isnt likely to be
forthcoming, so dont depend on others to do things
for you. The more you take on yourself, the more
youll get done.
TaUrUs (April 20-May 20) -- Even if youre usually
good at handling money, this is not likely to be the
case at present. You may be too tightfsted for your
own good.
GeMini (May 21-June 20) -- Try to avoid discussing
topics that could cause a fght, especially with
another whose views differ radically from yours. You
wont have much patience for argument.
CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- Upon occasion, you
can deprive yourself of some useful information,
all because you dont like the person who knows it.
Dont allow something petty to make your life harder
than necessary.
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take with a grain of salt
any proposal that offers you something for nothing.
Somebody might end up ahead, but you can bet your
bottom dollar it wont be you.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Unless youre extremely
careful, you could easily add fuel to an already
smoldering domestic issue. The slightest thing you
say could set off a confagration.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- The one thing you
can never afford to be is gullible about your
commercial dealings. Before making any disclosures
whatsoever, insist upon verifcation of what is
promised.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Under no condition
should you run your fnancial affairs predicated upon
anticipated returns. The only cash you can count on
is what you have in hand.
saGiTTariUs (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- There is nothing
wrong with having a good opinion of yourself, but
allow the praise for your achievements to come from
the lips of others, not from yours.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- In conversations
with friends or associates, theyre likely to learn
more from you than you will from them. Listen hard,
and try not to give away too much.
aQUariUs (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- New complications
could arise if you poke your nose into places where
youre not invited. This will only alienate you from
others.

SAO PAULO Faithful attend-
ing Sunday Mass on ve continents
for the first time since Pope
Benedict XVIs retirement had dif-
ferent ideas about who should next
lead the Roman Catholic Church,
with people suggesting everything
from a Latin American pope to one
more like the conservative, Polish-
born John Paul II. What most
agreed on, however, was the church
is in dire need of a comeback.
Clergy sex abuse scandals and
falling numbers of faithful have
taken their toll on the church, and
many parishioners said the next
pope should be open about the prob-
lems rather than ignore them.
Worshippers in the developing
world prayed for a pope from a
poorer, non-European nation, while
churchgoers in Europe said what
was more important was picking a
powerful gure who could stop the
steep losses in Catholic numbers.
Some South African Catholics
called for what they said was a more
pragmatic approach to contraception
given the AIDS epidemic devastat-
ing that continent. They also sug-
gested ending the celibacy require-
ment for priests, insisting on whats
viewed as the traditional importance
of a man having a family.
Catholics likely will nd out this
week whether such hopes become
reality, as cardinals worldwide arrive
in Rome for a conclave that could
elect a new pontiff. Many expect the
church to pick another European to
replace the Pope Emeritus Benedict
XVI, who resigned Thursday.
In Brazil, the Vatican has seen its
numbers chipped away by neo-
Pentecostal churches offering the
faithful rollicking music-lled serv-
ices and hands-on practical advice.
Its an approach matched by the
massive Mother of God sanctuary
led by Brazils Grammy-nominated
pop-star priest Marcelo Rossi.
More traditional Catholics snub
Rossis charismatic masses, but
many point to his style of aggressive
evangelization as the way forward in
the worlds biggest Catholic nation,
which has seen Catholics drop from
74 percent of the population in 2000
to 65 percent a decade later.
Im certain the most important step
in surpassing the challenges facing the
church is having a new pope who
renews the believers, said Solange
Lima, a 32-year-old new mother who
spoke over the roar of a Christian rock
band at Mother of God.

CAIRO U.S. Secretary of State
John Kerry on Sunday rewarded
Egypt for President Mohammed
Morsis pledges of political and
economic reforms by releasing
$250 million in American aid to
support the countrys future as a
democracy.
Yet Kerry also served notice that
the Obama administration will keep
close watch on how Morsi, who
came to power in June as Egypts
rst freely elected president, honors
his commitment and that additional
U.S. assistance
would depend
on it.
The path to
that future has
clearly been dif-
cult and much
work remains,
Kerry said in a
statement after
wrapping up
two days of meetings in Egypt, a
deeply divided country in the wake
of the revolution that ousted long-
time President Hosni Mubarak.
Egypt is trying to meet conditions
to close on a $4.8 billion loan pack-
age from the International Monetary
Fund. An agreement would unlock
more of the $1 billion in U.S. assis-
tance promised by President Barack
Obama last year and set to begin
flowing with Kerrys announce-
ment.
The United States can and wants
to do more, Kerry said. Reaching
an agreement with the IMF will
require further effort on the part of
the Egyptian government and broad
support for reform by all Egyptians.
When Egypt takes the difcult steps
to strengthen its economy and build
political unity and justice, we will
work with our Congress at home on
additional support.
Kerry cited Egypts extreme
needs and Morsis assurances that
he plans to complete the IMF
process when he told the president
that the U.S. would provide $190
million of a long-term $450 million
pledge in a good-faith effort to
spur reform and help the Egyptian
people at this difcult time. The
release of the rest of the $450 mil-
lion and the other $550 million
tranche of the $1 billion that Obama
announced will be tied to successful
reforms, ofcials said.
Separately, the top U.S. diplomat
announced $60 million for a new
fund for direct support of key
engines of democratic change,
including Egypts entrepreneurs and
its young people. Kerry held out the
prospect of U.S. assistance to this
fund climbing to $300 million over
time.
Recapping his meetings with
political gures, business leaders
and representatives of outside
groups, Kerry said he heard of their
deep concern about the political
course of their country, the need to
strengthen human rights protec-
tions, justice and the rule of law,
and their fundamental anxiety about
the economic future of Egypt.
Kerry says U.S. releasing millions in aid to Egypt
KARACHI, Pakistan A car bomb
exploded outside a mosque on Sunday, killing
37 people and wounding another 141 in a
Shiite Muslim dominated neighborhood in the
southern Pakistan city of Karachi the third
mass casualty attack on the minority sect in
the country this year.
No one has taken responsibility for the
bombing, but Shiite Muslims have been
increasingly targeted by Sunni militant groups
in Karachi, Pakistans economic hub and site
of years of political, sectarian and ethnic vio-
lence, as well as other parts of the country.
The bomb exploded outside a Shiite
mosque as people were leaving evening
prayers in Pakistans largest city. Initial
reports suggested the bomb was rigged to a
motorcycle, but a top police ofcial, Shabbir
Sheikh, said later that an estimated 100 kilo-
grams (220 pounds) of explosives was planted
in a car.
Col. Pervez Ahmad, an official with a
Pakistani paramilitary force called the
Rangers, said a chemical used in the blast
caught re and spread the destruction beyond
the blast site. Several buildings nearby were
engulfed in ames.
Men and women wailed and ambulances
rushed to the scene where residents tried to
nd victims buried in the rubble of collapsed
buildings. The blast left a crater that was 2
meters (yards) wide and more than 1 meter (4
feet) deep.
I was at home when I heard a huge blast.
When I came out, I saw there was dust all
around in the streets. Then I saw ames, said
Syed Irfat Ali, a resident who described how
people were crying and trying to run to safety.
A top government ofcial, Taha Farooqi,
said at least 37 people were conrmed dead
and 141 more were wounded.
Sunni militant groups have stepped up
attacks in the past year against Shiite Muslims
who make up about 20 percent of Pakistans
population of 180 million people. Sunni mili-
tants linked to al-Qaida and the Taliban view
Shiites as heretics.
Tahira Begum, a relative of a blast victim,
demanded the government take strict action
against the attackers.
