DIMINISHED YET RESILIENT GROUP LIKELY
A LONG-TERM THREAT
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
By the end of Tuesday night,
coastsiders should have a good idea
whether re service will be provid-
ed by the state or come back under
local control as a recall election will
decide the fate of three on the
Coastside Fire Protection District
board who are ready to give Cal Fire
the boot.
The April 9 election is being con-
ducted to determine if directors
Michael Alifano, Douglas
Mackintosh and Gary Riddell shall
be recalled from ofce. The recall
effort started because the three
voted last year to end the districts
six-year relationship with the
California Department of Forestry
and Fire Protection in favor of re-
establishing a stand-alone fire
department to serve coastal commu-
nities.
The recall effort started with a
lengthy signature-gathering process
that has grown into a bitter and divi-
sive debate over who can do a better
job of providing re service the
state at a cheaper cost or local
municipal reghters at a greater
cost.
Both sides have taken each other
to court and just recently, Marshall
Ketchum, one of the leading gures
behind the recall effort, has apolo-
gized to the three directors he wants
to oust for taking them to court over
candidate statements led for the
election. Ketchum is also paying
$10,000 to settle the dispute.
The district collects between $8
million to $9 million annually in tax
revenue and a local re department
will cost coastsiders about $1.7 mil-
lion more than they currently pay
for Cal Fires service. Alifano,

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
San Carlos approximately 11,000
sewer customers could see their
rates rise over the next three years to
fund ongoing operations and main-
tenance of the aging pipelines and
replenish the citys sewer fund
reserves.
Even after this increase, city resi-
dents are looking at more substan-
tial increases in coming years to
meet a number of nancial chal-
lenges to the citys sewer enterprise
fund, according to Public Works
Director Jay Walter.
The issues include contributing
approximately $64 million toward
the South Bayside System
Authoritys $420 million effort to
rebuild its wastewater treatment
plant. The city also has approxi-
mately $10 million worth of sewer
system capacity improvements nec-
essary over the next ve years to
prevent overows and comply with
the legal settlement reached with
San Francisco Baykeepers. These
costs were also addressed during
last years increase hearing that
ended with a 6 percent hike in rates.
City staff recommends a ramp
down approach starting with 25 per-
cent followed by 20 percent to 10
percent to let work start near imme-
diately on improvements to the sys-
tem. The City Council Monday
night can also consider two alterna-
tives, one of a 15 percent annual
increase for three years and another
for 12 percent annually for three
years. Neither of the two other
options will bring in all the funds
needed but the 15 percent plan rep-

SACRAMENTO Some of
Californias most powerful unions
are pressuring nonprot hospitals to
prove that they provide enough
charitable care to justify their tax-
exempt status.
The California Nurses
Association is pushing legislation
that would set statewide standards
for what hospitals can count as char-
ity care. Under the bill, a hospital
would have to show why it should
keep its nonprot status if revenue
exceeds spending by more than 10
percent.
Hospitals also would be ned if
they fail to submit timely reports
detailing their charity care.
The nurses and other labor groups
supporting the bill say the tax bene-
ts the hospitals receive as nonprof-
it organizations are far larger than
the value of their charitable work.
The groups also say hospitals cur-
rently count their charity care in dif-

Sharing the experiences becomes

5,000 pay phones will
take you back to 1993
NEW YORK Want to journey to a
grittier time in New York Citys not-too-
distant past, when the murder rate was
sky-high, Times Square was a cross-
roads of crime and porn, Starbucks had
yet to arrive, and hardly anyone owned a
cellphone?
A project designed to promote an art
exhibit has turned 5,000
Manhattan pay phones into
time machines that take callers
back to 1993, a pivotal year in
the citys art, culture and poli-
tics.
Pick up a receiver on the
rarely used phones that still
dot the New York
streetscape, punch 1-
855-FOR-1993 and
you will hear a
notable resident
recounting what life was like on that
block 20 years ago.
We liked, creatively, the idea of using
a sort of slightly broken, disused system
as the canvas of this project, said Scott
Chinn of Droga5, the ad agency behind
the campaign for an exhibit titled NYC
1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and
No Star.
An eclectic mix of artists, writers,
food and fashion stars, and others has
been recruited to reminisce, including
chef Mario Batali, actor Chazz
Palminteri, porn performer Robin Byrd
and former Yankees pitcher Jim Abbott,
who threw a no-hitter in 1993.
The narrators describe a New York
that was dirtier, bloodier, raunchier and
less gentried than today but also an
easier place for a talented young person
to gain a foothold.
Batali says in his sound bite that open-
ing a restaurant was easier in 1993 when
he debuted his rst restaurant, Po.
You didnt have to have a rich daddy
or an investor or put together a team
or anything like that, he says. Its
sad to watch the cost of business
push the real individualist entrepre-
neurs out of the game.
Bike shop owner Dave Ortiz
remembers when the citys
Meatpacking District, now home
to trendy restaurants, nightclubs
and pricey boutiques, was the wild,
wild West.
The rats were huge, he says.
They were as big as cats, so you
had to walk in the middle of the street.
Its amazing what they turned it into. Its
cool but its lost its, like, authenticity.
Rudy Giuliani was elected New York
City mayor in 1993 and promised to
crack down on crime and make the city
more livable. The number of homicides
in the city 1,960 in 1993 had
already dropped from a high of 2,245 in
1990 but has plunged steeply since then.
(There were 414 in all of last year.)
The citys AIDS crisis peaked in 1993
at 12,744 diagnoses. Terrorists staged
the first attack on the World Trade
Center. The look of the city has changed
dramatically as national retailers have
replaced independent merchants. New
York Citys rst Starbucks opened in
1994.
There was a presence of a kind of
downtown underground scene which
you really dont experience in New York
anymore, recalled Gary Carrion-
Murayari, curator of the exhibit at the
New Museum featuring 161 works,
many intended to shock with sexual
imagery.
Lutz Bachers My Penis, for exam-
ple, repeats a video snippet from the
1991 Florida rape trial of William
Kennedy Smith, a nephew of the late
Sen. Edward Kennedy, in which Smith
testies about the organ in question.
In Pepsn Osorios The Scene of the
Crime (Whose Crime?), a blood-
soaked sheet covers what appears to be a
corpse. Four nude mannequins join
hands and stare into space in Charles
Rays Family Romance. Political
issues are tackled head-on in works like
Sue Williams Are you Pro-Porn or
Anti-Porn?
The exhibit and accompanying pay
phone campaign run through May 26.
Pay phones in the Times Square area
feature X-rated talk-show host Byrd
describing the neighborhood before
Disney musicals and theme-park stores
made it safe for tourists.
The area wasnt really as dangerous
as people thought it was in those days,
Byrd says.

n 1976, Kodak had a 90 percent share of
photographic and camera sales in the
United States. Everybody knew what was
meant by saying Its a Kodak moment.
But it was not always that way. It took a long
road to get to the stage we were at in photogra-
phy in 1976. Greek and Chinese philosophers
described the optics and camera as early as
fourth century and Isaac Newton described
white light as being composed of many colors
in the mid-1600s. It took another 100 years
before silver nitrate was discovered to darken
upon the exposure of light. Silver nitrate is the
basic ingredient used to capture an image on
celluloid or paper. The camera obscura (one is
found at Cliff House in San Francisco) was
used to make the rst photographic image in
1814, but it took eight hours to produce the pic-
ture and faded shortly after making. Louis
Daguerre in 1837 made his rst daguerreotype.
It took only 30 minutes to make and lasted for-
ever. He had discovered how to stop the silver
nitrate reaction from going further and darken-
ing. In 1840, Alexander Wolcott got the rst
patient for a camera. More developments on
the lm allowed the picture to be taken but it
was not necessary to develop the lm immedi-
ately as had to be done up to now.
Due to all of these developments by experi-
menting, George Eastman founded the
Eastman Dry Plate Company and shortly there-
after he invented exible, paper-based photo-
graphic lm that could be rolled for use in still
cameras and professional movie cameras. After
patenting a cheap, aim and click camera, he
began marketing the Brownie camera for the
mass market. He developed a delivery system
at drugstores throughout the east, where the
person delivered the lm to the store and the
store immediately developed the lm or sent it
to a central chemical plant. Photography for the
mass market was developed.
The rst cameras were of box form and took
round pictures that were 2.5 inches in diameter.
The camera had a xed focal length and a roll
of lm that could deliver 100 pictures. The
lm, however, had to be loaded and unloaded
in complete darkness but, in 1900, Kodak
invented the Kodak Film Tank that allowed the
amateur to load and unload a roll of lm with-
out aid of a darkroom.
Led on by his phenomenal success, the
Eastman Company was formed and plants that
would hold his multi-billion photographic
empire were built in Rochester, N.Y. It was
renamed Eastman Kodak Company in 1892.
In 1935, Kodak introduced Kodachrome, a
color reversal lm for movie and slide lm. On
June 22, 2009, Kodachrome lm production
was discontinued.
George Eastman (1854-1932) was an
American innovator and entrepreneur who
founded Eastman Kodak Company. He was
born on a 10-acre farm in New York state but
moved to Rochester when his fathers health
deteriorated. While living on the farm, his
teacher at the school he attended felt he would
never complete schooling as his mind wan-
dered and he accused him of addling. He
then continued his schooling at home.
Eastmans success was phenomenal and his
wealth increased greatly. He never married, but
his life took on a new direction in the 1910s
when he began distributing his wealth to wor-
thy social causes. He had founded the Eastman
Trust and Savings Bank and developed pater-
nal systems of support for his employees. He
donated much money to establish the Eastman
School of Music at the University of Rochester
and, in 1921, a school of medicine and den-
tistry. He became one of the major philanthro-
pists of his time, slightly behind Andrew
Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller.
A curious event occurred in Los Angeles that
many feel changed the market of photography.
Fujilm entered the U.S. market by becoming
the ofcial sponsor of the 1984 Olympics.
Kodak refused it and its share of the photo-
graphic market was 17 percent by 1997.
Kodaks market in Japan stalled and, in May
1995, Kodak led a petition with the U.S.
Department of Commerce against Japan for
unfair market practices. It was rejected as
Kodaks U.S. market share plunged from 80.1
percent to 74.7 percent. The ironic fact was that
in 1975 Kodak scientists created the worlds
rst Megapixel sensor, capable of recording
1.4 million pixels and producing photo-quality
12.5 X 17.5 cm (5 X 7 inch) print. They sat on
the research thinking that this would threaten
their lm business. They were right. Kodak
was so successful that it thought no Asian lm
would threaten their market so they sat on this
invention. The ride downhill was rough and
bumpy.
Kodak announced Monday , June 22, 2009
that it was retiring it oldest film stock,
Kodachrome due to declining sales of wet
photography and complete dominance of the
digital photographic lm, mainly by foreign
countries.
In January 2012, Kodak led for bankruptcy
and its taking measures to emerge from bank-
ruptcy.

Police searching for burglary
suspect in high-speed pursuit from
San Mateo to San Francisco
San Mateo and Hillsborough police are
working together to locate a burglary suspect
who was interrupted at one San Mateo home
on Friday and may have cased some
Hillsborough houses, according to police.
San Mateo police were called to a home in
600 block of Edgewood Road around 12:20
p.m. for a reported interrupted burglary.
The suspects were already gone from the
scene when police arrived, but around the
same time Hillsborough police intercepted
and pursued a white Chevy Malibu speeding
on to northbound Interstate Highway 280.
The suspect in the vehicle discarded items as
he drove.
Daly City police located the vehicle aban-
doned in San Francisco, near Parque and
Ensquina drives, around 1:15 p.m. and iden-
tified it as the suspect vehicle in the burgla-
ry, police said.
Hillsborough police are now investigating
whether two door-knock incidents in their
city that occurred around the same time, in
the 500 block of El Arroyo and the 100 block
of Eucalyptus, might be linked to the same
suspect, police said.
Fuel spill disrupts Caltrain service
Caltrain service was back on schedule
Sunday after a damaged train engine caused
a fuel leak and disrupted trains for several
hours on Saturday evening, a spokeswoman
said.
The southbound train apparently struck a
large piece of metal on the tracks between
South San Francisco and San Bruno at about
7:30 p.m., Caltrain spokeswoman Christine
Dunn said.
A tank on the engine was damaged, caus-
ing a leak of diesel fuel, Dunn said.
No one was injured.
North and southbound trains were delayed
until crews cleared the northbound side for
single-track service at about 10:15 p.m.
Hazardous materials crews continued to
work overnight, and Caltrain was cleared for
regular service Sunday morning, Dunn said.
At about 9:30 a.m., a southbound train
broke down near the San Antonio Station at
Mountain View and was taken out of service,
Dunn said.
The problem was unrelated to Saturdays
spill, which remains under investigation, she
said.
Police investigate three
home burglaries Friday
Police are investigating three home burgla-
ries that occurred in a Belmont neighborhood
Friday and appear to be connected to a string
of recent burglaries in San Mateo and
Hillsborough.
The burglaries took place between 8 a.m.
and 4 p.m. in the 1600 block of Manzanita
Avenue, in the 1700 block of Valley View
Avenue and in the 2000 block of Mezes
Avenue, police said.
Police said officers received a tip from a
neighbor in the area reporting that someone
had knocked on their door on Friday morn-
ing to ask about selling their car, which was
not for sale.
The neighbor described that person as a
black man in his mid 20s with a stocky build,
gold caps or a gold grill on his front teeth
who was last seen wearing a red sweatshirt
or jacket and red cap, according to police.
Police believe the burglaries reported
Friday are related to a series of similar home
burglaries reported in recent months
throughout the Peninsula.
In many of those cases, suspects would go
to the homes front door to see if anyone is
there and force entry at a rear or side door if
they do not get an answer, police said.
Belmont police Chief Dan DeSmidt said
residents should immediately report suspi-
cious activity and take steps to secure their
homes.
Anyone with information about these
cases is asked to call Belmont police at
(650) 595-7400 or the crime tip line at (650)
598-3000.
Teens arrested in connection
with series of arson res
Police arrested two teens who allegedly set
three separate fires in San Francisco last
month in addition to other arsons dating back
to 2010, police said.
On the night of March 23, unknown sus-
pects set two fires in Orange Park and anoth-
er fire near the 500 block of El Camino Real,
according to police.
Working with a police school liaison and
school officials, South San Francisco police
detectives earlier this week were able to
identify two 14-year-old suspects responsi-
ble for the arsons.
Police said that during interviews, both
suspects also confessed to setting other fires
dating back to 2010.
The teens were arrested and referred to
Hillcrest where they are expected to face
arson and conspiracy charges. Both were
released to their parents.

troubling for many
families whove not
been as financially stable as others.
Recently though Ive been observing a
phenomenon with those we serve at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. It may
be too early to confirm, but it appears that
there is a general state of confidence with
many families, along with the decisions and
choices they make during funeral
arrangements. Yes, I know you are thinking
that confidence is not a term you would
use to coincide with funeral arrangements,
but it appears to me that people I see are
tending to be more financially assured than
during the deepest years of The Great
Recession.
They say that the two things you cant
avoid are death and taxes. With that in
mind, during the economic downturn I saw a
very noticeable sense of thrift and
prudence with a lot of families who
experienced a death during that period.
Still, those who tended to cost shop at
various funeral homes selected CHAPEL
OF THE HIGHLANDS to handle funeral or
cremation arrangements. These families
found comfort with our service, and notably
with our more economic cost structure.
Now, lately the trend with families and
their funeral choices reminds me of the days
way before the recession hit. Its not that
people are utilizing their funds differently,
spending more or spending less, but that
they are more assertive and confident when
using their wallet. Seeing this over and over
gives me a good indication that something in
the economic climate is changing compared
to not that long ago.
Even though many of our honorable
elected officials in Sacramento and
Washington D.C. appear to be as inflexible
with economic issues as always, the air of
confidence with the families Ive been
dealing with means to me that these people
are feeling less pressured financially.
It is well known that when businesses do
well they hire more employees, and when
those employees are confident they will
spend their money on goods and services.
In turn, the companies that provide goods
and services will need competent employees
to create more goods, give more services,
and so onmaking a positive circle for a
healthy economy. In relation to that, after a
long period of U.S. manufacturing jobs
being sent over-seas there is news of a
growing number of companies bringing this
work back to the United States. Real Estate
values on the Peninsula remained in a good
state during the recession, but houses here
are now in demand more than ever.
Encouraging Hopeful and Positive
are words to describe the optimistic
vibrations that people are giving off. If the
community is becoming more comfortable
with spending, that indicates good health for
business and the enrichment of our
economic atmosphere. I hope Im right, so
lets all keep our fingers crossed.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you

Funeral Trends Indicate
Upswing in the Economy

The state awarded the countys
Human Services Agency $100,000
to help homeless families and indi-
viduals ready to leave a shelter but
without the funds to afford perma-
nent housing.
The California Department of
Community Services and
Development announced Friday
$1.6 million in awards for initiative
and innovative projects that benet
low-income populations using fed-
erally-funded Community Services
Block Grants. The grants include
$100,000 for San Mateo Countys
Rapid Re-Housing Project.
The grant recipient is actually the
countys Community Action
Agency, a public entity that HSA
helps to administer, said HSA
spokeswoman Amanda Kim.
The grant funds will subsidize the
initial deposit for a rental which is
usually a combination of rst and
last months rent plus a security
deposit. Recipients will be ready to
move but lacking the substantial
amount required to start the lease.
The funds will help an estimated
18 households, or 54 people includ-
ing children, move out of emer-
gency shelters and into permanent
housing, Kim said.
The average market rent for a
two-bedroom apartment in San
Mateo County is $2,155 per month,
which gives some sense of the con-
siderable resources needed to move
into a rental, Kim said.
CAA is very glad to receive the
competitive grant which will move
those ready closer to self-sufcien-
cy and create greater capacity in the
homeless services system, Kim said
.
Grants like that given the San
Mateo County project also gives
communities the chance to create
and implement innovative solutions
by targeting local needs, according
to CSD Acting Director Linne
Stout.
As a result ... Californias low-
income families and individuals liv-
ing in these communities will be
positively impacted by these new
opportunities, Stout said in a pre-
pared statement.
The grants awarded fell into ve
categories: employment, homeless
services, youth services including
employment, food and nutrition and
innovative projects.

Two shot by officer
in SF when person
points replica gun
SAN FRANCISCO Two people are hos-
pitalized after they were shot when a San
Francisco police ofcer opened re when a
person involved in a confrontation pointed
what turned out to be an air-powered gun at a
group of people.
A San Francisco police spokesman says the
trouble started around 2 a.m. Sunday after a
group of people left a bar in the citys Mission
District and were involved in altercation with
a second group.
Ofcers responded when one person ran to
a nearby police station and told police there
was a person brandishing a gun.
Officer Gordon Shyy, a department
spokesman, says the two people were shot by
the ofcer after he opened re when he saw
the suspect pointing the gun at the group.
Police initially described the weapon as a
replica gun, but later said it was an air-powered
rearm capable of discharging a projectile.

Burlingame, CA 94010
By Ryan Nakashima
LOS ANGELES Some people have had
it with TV. Theyve had enough of the 100-
plus channel universe. They dont like timing
their lives around network show schedules.
Theyre tired of $100-plus monthly bills.
A growing number of them have stopped
paying for cable and satellite TV service, and
dont even use an antenna to get free signals
over the air. These people are watching shows
and movies on the Internet, sometimes via
cellphone connections. Last month, the
Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this
group Zero TV households, because they
fall outside the traditional denition of a TV
home. There are 5 million of these residences
in the U.S., up from 2 million in 2007.
Winning back the Zero TV crowd will be
one of the many issues broadcasters discuss at
their national meeting, called the NAB Show,
taking place this week in Las Vegas.
While show creators and networks make
money from this groups viewing habits
through deals with online video providers and
from advertising on their own websites and
apps, broadcasters only get paid when they
relay such programming in traditional ways.
Unless broadcasters can adapt to modern plat-
forms, their revenue from Zero TV viewers
will be zero.
Getting broadcast programing on all the
gizmos and gadgets like tablets, the back-
seats of cars, and laptops is hugely impor-
tant, says Dennis Wharton, a spokesman for
the National Association of Broadcasters.
Although Wharton says more than 130 TV
stations in the U.S. are broadcasting live TV
signals to mobile devices, few people have the
tools to receive them. Most cellphones require
an add-on device known as a dongle, but these
gadgets are just starting to be sold.
Among this elusive group of consumers is
Jeremy Carsen Young, a graphic designer,
who is done with traditional TV. Young has a
working antenna sitting unplugged on his
back porch in Roanoke, Va., and he refuses to
put it on the roof.
I dont think wed use it enough to justify
having a big eyesore on the house, the 30-
year-old says.
Online video subscriptions from Netix
Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. which cost less
than $15 a month combined have given
him and his partner plenty to watch. They take
in back episodes of AMCs The Walking
Dead and The CWs Supernatural, and
they dont need more, he says.
He doesnt mind waiting as long as a year
for the current seasons episodes to appear on
streaming services, even if his friends acci-
dently blurt out spoilers in the meantime.
With regular television, he might have missed
the latest developments, anyway.
By the time it gets to me to watch, Ive
kind of forgotten about that, he says.
For the rst time, TV ratings giant Nielsen
took a close look at this category of viewer in
its quarterly video report released in March. It
plans to measure their viewing of new TV
shows starting this fall, with an eye toward
incorporating the results in the formula used
to calculate ad rates.
Our commitment is to being able to meas-
ure the content wherever it is, says Dounia
Turrill, Nielsens senior vice president of
insights.
The Zero TV segment is increasingly
important, because the number of people
signing up for traditional TV service has
slowed to a standstill in the U.S.
Last year, the cable, satellite and telecoms
providers added just 46,000 video customers
collectively, according to research rm SNL
Kagan. That is tiny when compared to the
974,000 new households created last year.
While its still 100.4 million homes, or 84.7
percent of all households, its down from the
peak of 87.3 percent in early 2010.
Nielsens study suggests that this new
group may have left traditional TV for good.
While three-quarters actually have a physical

Kayaker helps save family after crash into river
KYBURZ, Calif. A kayaker is being credited with help-
ing to save a family of ve after their SUV had veered off a

The family was driving along Highway 50 near the Sierra
Nevada community of Kyburz Thursday afternoon when their
SUV veered off the road, hit a concrete mile marker, a large

Hikers avoid night on mountain thanks to rescue
SAN FRANCISCO Four hikers avoided spending the
night on the side of a Santa Clara County mountain thanks to a
search and rescue by California Highway Patrol aircraft. The
CHP sent one of their planes Saturday to search after getting a
report the hikers had become lost on Mt. Umunhum After a CHP
airplane spotted what turned out to be four hikers on the west
side of the mountain, a CHP helicopter was called for because it
was too late to a send in a ground crew to rescue the group.

LOS ANGELES When Los
Angeles cold case detectives caught up
with Samuel Little this past fall, he was
living in a Christian shelter in Kentucky,
his latest arrest a few months earlier for
alleged possession of a crack pipe. But
the LA investigators wanted him on far
more serious charges: The slayings of
two women in 1989, both found stran-
gled and nude below the waist vic-
tims of what police concluded had been
sexually motivated strangulations.
Littles name came up, police said,
after DNA evidence collected at old
crime scenes matched samples of his
stored in a criminal database. After
detectives say they found yet another
match, a third murder charge was soon
added against Little.
Now, as the 72-year-old former boxer
and transient awaits trial in Los Angeles,
authorities in numerous jurisdictions in
California, Florida, Kentucky, Missouri,
Louisiana, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi
and Ohio are scour-
ing their own cold
case les for possible
ties to Little. One old
murder case, in
Pascagoula, Miss.,
already has been
reopened. DNA
results are pending in
some others.
Littles more than
100-page rap sheet
details crimes in 24 states spread over 56
years mostly assault, burglary, armed
robbery, shoplifting and drug violations.
In that time, authorities say incredulous-
ly, he served less than 10 years in prison.
But Los Angeles detectives allege he
was also a serial killer, who traveled the
country preying on prostitutes, drug
addicts and troubled women.
They assert Little often delivered a
knockout punch to women and then pro-
ceeded to strangle them while mastur-
bating, dumping the bodies and soon
after leaving town. Their investigation
has turned up a number of cases in
which he was a suspect or convicted.
Police are using those old cases and
tracking down surviving victims to
help build their own against Little.
We see a pattern, and the pattern
matches what hes got away with in the
past, said LAPD Detective Mitzi
Roberts.
Little has pleaded not guilty in the
three LA slayings, and in interviews
with detectives after his September
arrest he described his police record as
dismissed, not guilty, dismissed.
I just be in the wrong place at the
wrong time with people, he said,
according to an interview transcript
reviewed by The Associated Press.
Still, as more details emerge, so do
more questions. Among them: How did
someone with so many encounters with
the law, suspected by prosecutors and
police ofcers of killing for decades,
manage to escape serious jail time?
Its the craziest rap sheet Ive ever
seen, said Los Angeles Deputy District
Attorney Beth Silverman, who has
worked many serial killer cold cases.

WASHINGTON Two inuen-
tial senators, one from each party,
are working on an agreement that
could expand background checks on
rearms sales to include gun shows
and online transactions, Senate
aides said Sunday.
If completed, the effort could rep-
resent a major breakthrough in the
effort by President Barack Obama
and his allies to restrict guns follow-
ing last Decembers massacre of
schoolchildren in Newtown, Conn.
Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and
Pat Toomey, R-Pa., could nail down
an accord early this week, said the
aides, who spoke on condition of
anonymity to
describe the pri-
vate talks. With
the Senate
r e t u r n i n g
Monday from a
t w o - w e e k
recess, the
c h a m b e r s
debate on gun
control legisla-
tion could begin as soon as Tuesday,
though it might be delayed if the
lawmakers need more time to com-
plete a deal, the aides said.
The potential deal, which aides
cautioned still might change, would
exempt transactions between rela-
tives and temporary transfers for
hunters and sportsmen, they said.
Manchin is a moderate who touts
an A rating from the National Rie
Association, which has opposed
Obamas gun control drive. Toomey
has solid conservative credentials
and was elected to the Senate two
years ago with tea party support
from his Democratic-leaning state.
A united front by the two law-
makers would make it easier for gun
control advocates to attract support
from moderate Democrats who
have been wary of supporting the
effort and from Republicans who
have largely opposed it so far.
With conservative Republicans
threatening a libuster, Democrats
will need 60 of the chambers 100
votes to prevail. There are 53
Democrats and two Democratic-
leaning independents in the Senate.
Federal background checks are
currently required only for transac-
tions handled by the roughly 55,000
federally licensed rearms dealers;
private sales such as gun-show or
online purchases are exempt. The
system is designed to keep guns
from criminals, people with serious
mental problems, and some others.
After 20 rst-graders and six ele-
mentary school staffers were killed
at Newtown, Obama proposed
applying the requirement to virtual-
ly all rearms sales. Gun control
advocates consider expanded back-
ground checks to be the most effec-
tive step lawmakers could take to
curb gun violence.
Also high on Congress agenda is
immigration, where a decisive
moment is approaching.
Bipartisan groups in the House
and Senate are expected to present
legislation as early as this week
aimed at securing the U.S. border,
xing legal immigration and granti-
ng legal status to millions who are
in the United States without author-
ization. That will open months of
debate on the politically com-
bustible issue, with votes by the
Senate Judiciary Committee expect-
ed later this month.
The House returns Tuesday and
initially plans to consider a bill pre-
venting the National Labor
Relations Board from issuing rules
until a dispute over administration
appointees is resolved.
Background checks on gun sales may expand
Barack Obama
Schumer sees deal this week on immigration
WASHINGTON A raucous public debate over the
nations awed immigration system is set to begin in earnest
this week as senators nalize a bipartisan bill to secure the
border, allow tens of thousands of foreign workers into the
country and grant eventual citizenship to the estimated 11
million people living here illegally.
Already negotiators are cautioning of struggles ahead for an
issue thats deed resolution for years. An immigration deal
came close on the Senate oor in 2007 but collapsed amid
interest group bickering and an angry public backlash.
There will be a great deal of unhappiness about this pro-
posal because everybody didnt get what they wanted, Sen.
John McCain, R-Ariz., a leader of the eight senators negotiat-
ing the legislation, said Sunday. There are entrenched posi-
tions on both sides of this issue.
Theres a long road, said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.,
appearing alongside McCain on CBS Face the Nation.
There are people on both sides who are against this bill, and
they will be able to shoot at it.
Schumer, McCain and their Gang of Eight already missed
a self-imposed deadline to have their bill ready in March, but
Schumer said he hopes that this week, it will happen.
Nation brief
CHICAGO Anne Smedinghoff had
a quiet ambition and displayed a love of
global affairs from an early age, joining
the U.S. Foreign Service straight out of
college and volunteering for missions in
perilous locations worldwide.
So when the 25-year-old suburban
Chicago woman was killed Saturday
in southern Afghanistan the first
American diplomat to die on the job
since last years attack in Benghazi,
Libya her family took solace in
the fact that she died doing some-
thing she loved.
It was a great adventure for her ...
She loved it, her father, Tom
Smedinghoff, told The Associated Press
on Sunday. She was tailor-made for this
job.
Anne Smedinghoff grew up in River
Forest, Ill. an upscale suburb about
10 miles west of Chicago the daugh-
ter of an attorney and the second of four
children. She attended the highly selec-
tive Fenwick High School, followed by
Johns Hopkins University, where she
majored in international studies and
became a key organizer of the universi-
tys annual Foreign Affairs Symposium
in 2008. The event draws high-prole
speakers from around the world.
Those who knew Smedinghoff
described her as a positive, hard-work-
ing and dependable young woman.
While a student in Baltimore, she
worked part time for Sam Hopkins, an
attorney near campus. He described her
as ambitious but in a wonderfully quiet,
modest way.
Her rst assignment for the foreign
service was in Caracas, Venezuela, and
she volunteered for the Afghanistan
assignment after that.
Slain diplomat had passion for foreign affairs
WASHINGTON The White House
on Sunday warned Republicans that a
my way or the highway approach
would spell the GOPs defeat in upcom-
ing budget negotiations and told its
Democratic allies that they, too, will
have to bend on President Barack
Obamas delayed spending plan set to be
released this week.
White House senior adviser Dan
Pfeiffer said the White House was will-
ing to work with rank-and-file
Republicans to come up with an outline
that both jump-starts the economy and
reduces the nations red ink. Yet
Pfeiffer also told the GOP that stub-
bornness among their partys leader-
ship would only yield public embar-
rassment akin to the one the GOP faced
last year when voters rejected
Republican presidential nominee Mitt
Romneys economic proposals and
gave Obama a second term.
Right now, the approach of many
Republicans particularly the leader-
ship in the House is my way or the
highway. Their view is the only accept-
able plan is to try to cut away prosperity,
turn Medicare into a voucher program
and essentially enact the Romney eco-
nomic plan, Pfeiffer said. The
American people rejected that and
Republicans shouldnt be doubling
down on it.

BAGRAM AIR FIELD,
Afghanistan The United States
accepts that a diminished but
resilient Taliban is likely to remain a
military threat in some parts of
Afghanistan long after U.S. troops
complete their combat mission next
year, the top U.S. military ofcer
said Sunday.
In an Associated Press interview at
this air eld north of Kabul, Army
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he is
cautiously optimistic that the Afghan
army will hold its own against the
insurgency as Western troops pull
back and Afghans assume the lead
combat role. He said that by May or
June, the Afghans will be in the lead
throughout the country.
Asked whether some parts of the
country will remain contested by the
Taliban, he replied, Yes, of course
there will be.
And if we were having this con-
versation 10 years from now, I sus-
pect there would (still) be contested
areas because the history of
Afghanistan suggests that there will
always be contested areas, he said.
He and other U.S. commanders
have said that ultimately the
Afghans must reach some sort of
political accommodation with the
insurgents, and that a reconciliation
process needs to be led by Afghans,
not Americans. Thus the No. 1 pri-
ority for the U.S. military in its nal
months of combat in Afghanistan is
to do all that is possible to boost the
strength and condence of Afghan
forces.
Shortly after Dempsey arrived in
Afghanistan on Saturday, the
Taliban demonstrated its ability to
strike.
It claimed responsibility for a sui-
cide car bombing that killed ve
Americans three soldiers and two
civilians, including Anne
Smedinghoff, a foreign service of-
cer and the rst American diplomat
killed overseas since the terrorist
attack Sept. 11 in Benghazi, Libya.
A fierce battle between U.S.-
backed Afghan forces and Taliban
militants in a remote corner of east-
ern Afghanistan left nearly 20 peo-
ple dead, including 11 Afghan chil-
dren killed in an airstrike, Afghan
ofcials said Sunday.
There are now about 66,000 U.S.
troops in Afghanistan. That number
is to drop to about 32,000 by
February 2014, and the combat mis-
sion is to end in December 2014.

BAGRAM, Afghanistan The
top U.S. military officer said
Sunday the Pentagon had bolstered
its missile defenses and taken other
steps because he cant take the
chance that North Korea wont
soon engage in some military
action.
Heightened tensions with North
Korea led the United States to post-
pone congressional testimony by the
chief U.S. commander in South
Korea and delay an intercontinental
ballistic missile test from a West
Coast base.
North Korea, after weeks of war
threats and other efforts to punish
South Korea and the U.S. for joint
military drills, has told other nations
that it will be unable to guarantee
diplomats safety in the Norths cap-
ital beginning Wednesday.
U.S. Gen Martin Dempsey, the
Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman who
just wrapped up a visit to
Afghanistan, was asked in an
Associated Press interview whether
he foresees North Korea taking mil-
itary action soon.
No, but I cant take the chance
that it wont, he said, explaining
why the Pentagon has strengthened
missile defenses and made other
decisions to combat the potential
threat.
Dempsey said the U.S. has been
preparing for further provocations
or action, considering the risk that
they may choose to do something
on one of two nationally important
anniversaries in April the birth of
North Korean founder Kim Il Sung
and the creation of the North Korean
army.
U.S. Gen. James Thurman, the
commander of the 28,000 American
troops in South Korea, will stay in
Seoul as a prudent measure rather
than travel to Washington to appear
this coming week before congres-
sional committees, Army Col. Amy
Hannah said in an email Sunday to
the AP.
Thurman has asked the Senate
Armed Services Committee, the
House Armed Services Committee,
and the House Appropriations sub-
committee on defense to excuse his
absence until he can testify at a later
date.
Dempsey said he had consulted
with Thurman about the rising ten-
sions on the Korean peninsula.
Dempsey said both Thurman and
South Koreas Joint Chiefs of Staff
chairman, Gen. Jung Seung-jo,
decided it would be best for them
to remain in Seoul rather than
come to Washington. The Korean
general had planned to meet with
Dempsey, the U.S. Joint Chiefs of
Staff chairman, in mid-April for
regular talks.
Dempsey said that instead of
meeting in person with Thurman
and Jung in Washington, they will
consult together by video-telecon-
ference.

BEIRUT After weeks of rebel
gains in the south, the Syrian regime
launched a counteroffensive on
Sunday with widespread airstrikes
and an operation that reclaimed a
northern village on a strategically
important route.
At least 20 people were killed in
heavy airstrikes that targeted rebels
trying to topple the regime in at least
seven cities and regions. To under-
line their resolve, the government
called on opposition ghters to sur-
render their arms and warned in
cellphone text messages that the
army is coming to get you.
State television said the aim of the
counteroffensive was to send a mes-
sage to the opposition and its
Western backers that President
Bashar Assads troops are capable
and willing to battle increasingly
better armed rebels on multiple
fronts.
Rebels have been making gains in
recent weeks, especially in the south
near the border with Jordan. They
have seized military bases and
towns in the strategically important
region between
Damascus and
the Jordanian
border about 100
miles away.
However in
the north, the
main rebel
stronghold, gov-
ernment troops
have been chip-
ping away slowly over the past
weeks at rebel gains around the city
of Aleppo, the countrys main com-
mercial hub. They have been ham-
mering rebel-held districts inside
the city with fighter jets and
artillery, sowing fear among resi-
dents.
Troops recaptured on Saturday
the village of Aziza on a strategic
road that links Aleppo with its air-
port and military bases, activists
said. Rebels have been trying to cap-
ture that airport and the nearby
bases for months now.
The regime seized back the vil-
lage southeast of Aleppo after a 10-
day battle with rebels, said Rami
Abdul-Rahman, director of the
Britain-based activist group Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights.

OPINION 9
Lempert for a day
Editor,
We are regular readers of the Daily
Journal and the Monday column writ-
ten by Sue Lempert. We were sad to
read Robert Bacons April 1 letter
about Ms. Lempert, which was fol-
lowed by Ms. Bloomelds April 4 let-
ter that expressed a view which was
unclear to us.
We are aghast at the unfairness of the
ad hominem attacks against someone
who, we think, tried hard to work for
the good of the whole community as a
school board member, council member
and mayor.
We are left to wonder what smolder-
ing resentment or different goals
prompted such uncivil comments.

Dont text and drive
Editor,
I was disappointed when I saw signs
on the freeway concerning texting
while driving. The signs say: $159 if
caught texting while driving not
worth it! I dont think thats enough.
The ne should be $481 to really dis-
courage folks from texting while driv-
ing.
Those $381-$481 nes for violating
buses-only lanes are more of a deter-
rent than $159. I see people texting
quite a bit.
Statistics show that the older crowd
is texting. The $159 is not enough to
get their attention.
I would hate to have anyone I care
for, including myself, to be killed by a
selsh, self-absorbed person texting
while driving.

Orange County Register
H
ow much does the state gov-
ernment waste? Especially
given that taxes in California
went up by $7 billion this year,
Californians want to know. This month,
the Joint Legislative Audit Committee
of the Legislature tasked state Auditor
Elaine Howle with auditing state funds,
which she said could take up to ve
months.
The audit request comes after several
scandals involving state funds. In
January, reported the Los Angeles
Times, The California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection hid $3.6
million rather than depositing it into the
states cash-strapped general fund as
required, interviews and documents ...
show.
In December, the Sacramento Bee
reported, State ofcials overseeing
construction of the new San Francisco-
Oakland Bay Bridge agreed this year to
pay a public-relations company nearly
$10 million for services the Brown
administration says it knew nothing
about, including hundreds of thousands
of dollars to conduct tours and to pro-
duce a video and commemorative
book. Gov. Jerry Brown canceled the
waste.
And, last summer, the Department of
Parks and Recreation sat on more than
$54 million in unreported funds at the
same time it had been soliciting private
donations to keep 70 parks open, the
Register reported. The scandal led to
the resignation of parks chief Ruth
Coleman.
We very much agree with the audit,
Jon Coupal told us; hes the president
of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers
Association, which opposes tax increas-
es. We hope the auditor is given the
tools to perform the job that needs to be
done. And we hope that when waste
and fraud has been revealed, that there
are consequences for those involved.
There are two problems with waste and
fraud in California: nding it and doing
something about it.
He added that he was encouraged
that the Legislature itself has begun to
take its oversight responsibilities seri-
ously. This also is happening after the
Democratic Party gained supermajority
status in both houses of the Legislature.
Democrats seem to understand that
Republicans no longer can be blamed
for everything, so the money needs to
be spent more prudently.
Mr. Coupal also urged other responsi-
ble government ofcials to go after
waste and fraud, in particular Attorney
General Kamala Harris and local dis-
trict attorneys and grand juries.
Gov. Browns scal 2013-14 state
budget update in May will show
whether his projection of a balanced
budget from the tax increases still
holds. But whether that happens, spend-
ing money frugally is an essential prac-
tice of government.
We encourage Ms. Howle to do a
thorough job.
Audit should dive deeply into states books
Training
Americas
future leaders
T
ucked away in an ofce on Claremont Street in down-
town San Mateo is the headquarters of Junior State, a
nonpartisan nonprot organization training Americas
future political leaders since 1934.
Junior State chapters at local high schools, about 500 nation-
wide, are student run. The
chapters encourage civic
engagement and political
awareness on campus by
sponsoring debates on current
controversial issues and partic-
ipating in voter registration
drives and candidate forums.
Recently, a group of Junior
State students gathered to
watch Waiting for
Superman and discussed edu-
cation reform proposals. Most
of the student chapters also
held debate watch parties dur-
ing the recent presidential
election. Its up to the students
to organize a chapter at their
high school. Currently, there are local chapters at San Mateo
High School, Hillsdale High School, Mercy High School and
Crystal Springs Uplands School.
The Junior State Foundation (made up of adults) runs summer
schools at Stanford, Princeton and Georgetown universities.
Three years ago, it started a summer school in China called JSA
Diplomat Program. Students at the U.S. summer schools study
American government, international relations, economics, con-
stitutional law, speech and political communications. Its a rigor-
ous program with students expected to write a college-level term
paper and take an essay exam. In Beijing, American Junior State
students study Chinese history and government along with con-
versational Chinese. This year, there will be a new summer pro-
gram at the University of Virginia where students will take
advanced placement U.S. history and visit historic sites.
Students attending the Stanford summer school get a dose of
conservative and liberal politics when they meet with representa-
tives from the Hoover Institute on campus and San Francisco
government leaders. In D.C., students meet with Republican and
Democratic U.S. senators, members of Congress and the
Cabinet. The Princeton program includes trips to New York City.
The summer schools are expensive. Most students receive
partial scholarships and raise the rest themselves. The Junior
State website has some helpful hints on how to fundraise. For
the aspiring politicians in the group, they are learning the rst
tools of the trade.
***
The organization has important connections in D.C. U.S. rep-
resentatives Zoe Lofgren, Mark Takano and Derek Kilmer are
Junior State grads. So are former U.S. attorney general Edwin
Meese, former secretary of defense Leon Panetta; former U.S.
secretary of transportation Norman Mineta and former White
House press secretary Mike McCurry. Other Junior State alums
who now hold elective ofce are Joe Simitian, Santa Clara
County supervisor and former state senator and assemblyman;
Ted Lempert, San Mateo County Board of Education president
and former state assemblyman and San Mateo County supervi-
sor; San Bernardino County Supervisor Janice Rutherford; Liz
Lempert, Princeton, N.J. mayor; Beth Freeman, San Mateo
County Superior Court judge; and West Sacramento Mayor
Chris Cabaldon. The late Gary Fazzino, former Palo Alto coun-
cilman, and Jerry Newfarmer, former San Jose city manager,
were Junior State grads. Tom Brady, New England Patriots quar-
terback and San Mateo native, also participated in high school.
***
The real action at Junior State takes place at student-run
conventions held in the fall and spring. About 1,000 students
from Northern California are expected to gather at the Santa
Clara Marriott at the end of April to participate in debates and
elect ofcers. They also take time off to have fun with a night-
ly dance following the ofcial agenda. Similar conventions
will be held in Southern California and in the 33 states where
Junior State has 10,000 participating students. Leadership
skills are developed by those who seek and win elective
ofce. The students take these jobs very seriously.
***
Akshaya Natarajan, president of the San Mateo High School
chapter, is running for the statewide ofce of lieutenant gover-
nor in April. Students in her chapter (as in many others) meet
once a week, usually have one debate on a current controver-
sial topic per meeting, and raise funds to pay for the fall and
spring conventions. One of the more interesting topic debates
students will be arguing in Santa Clara is Silence is Consent.
Topics range from foreign policy to the environment.
***
The idea for Junior State was the dream of Professor E.A.
Rogers, headmaster of a school for boys in the Santa Cruz
Mountains. He felt a viable democracy needed to train its
youth in the essentials of good government and that, without
an informed populace, democracy was worthless. His students
suggested a junior government an educational project to
help create the statesmen and citizens of the future. As the
idea jelled, students decided the organization would be non-
partisan, non-sectarian, not-secret and nonprot. Students
would not only learn about democracy but would practice it.
Today, Professor Rogers 1934 dream has evolved into the
largest student-run organization in the United States.

I
f a student cheats on an important
test, such as a midterm, he is pun-
ished, and rightly so. His teacher
doesnt merely brush aside the offense
and blame it on all the stressful and
unnecessary high-stakes tests that
todays unfortunate students are
required to take.
Yet every time an educator is caught
in a test-cheating scandal, the teachers
union response is as predictable as 2
plus 2: Of course cheating is wrong, but
what else can we expect when policy-
makers stress achievement on standard-
ized tests and especially when, as in
this case, there were nancial bonuses
attached to higher scores?
It happened again last week, as
Atlanta educators surrendered to
authorities after being indicted in the
nations biggest and most blatant exam-
ple of systemic cheating. Close to 200
teachers and principals in the Atlanta
schools admitted to xing students
incorrect answers and other wrongdo-
ing; the indictment names 35 people,
including the former superintendent of
schools.
Randi Weingarten, president of the
American Federation of Teachers,
issued a joint statement with the head
of the Georgia Federation of Teachers
that condemned the misdeeds and
declared that cheating could not be con-
doned under any circumstances.
By all means, policy makers should
reexamine how extreme reliance on
standards tests, which measure a limit-
ed portion of what students have
learned, might harm education. But
cheating isnt one of the issues they
should consider. Holding pizza parties
while tampering with student answer
sheets, as some teachers in Atlanta did,
isnt a natural reaction to academic or
career pressure. Its dishonesty, plain
and simple.

NEW YORK March Madness: Its not
just for basketball.
The sports world is laser focused on college
hoops right now. The annual tournament is
near its climax, with just a quartet of teams
cutely called the Final Four slugging it out
for the national championship title, which will
be decided Monday. And since the stock mar-
ket is a lot like the tournament, packed as it is
with upsets and long shots, we asked half a
dozen experts to come up with their own Final
Four of stocks.
The answers varied widely, from natural
gas and oil wells to Oreos and comfy shoes,
but there were a few common themes. The
pros wanted stocks that were cheap. That can
be a $10 stock or a $100 stock what mat-
ters is whether the stock price still has room to
grow. They scrutinized cash ow and debt
levels to get an idea of what a company is
really worth, no matter what the market might
be saying. They liked stocks that paid divi-
dends, which are cash payouts that companies
can give to shareholders each quarter.
They tended to favor companies that have
taken a thumping, either in their stock price or
reputation. Picks include BP, still under the
long shadow of the Gulf oil spill; Apple,
which some fear has run out of hit products;
and Big Lots, whose former CEO was
accused of trading on inside information.
The ones that are unloved on Wall Street
and really beaten up, says Russell Croft,
who, like almost everyone we interviewed,
described his investment strategy as contrar-
ian. We like to really look at those.
Maybe thats why so many said theyd
cheer for Wichita State in the real Final Four
on Saturday. Didnt know that Wichita State
was in the tournament? Yeah, most fans
werent expecting that either.
Heres more from the coaches box our
experts picks and their opinions about each
one. As with basketball brackets, remember:
There are no guarantees in stock picking.
John Buckingham
Chief investment officer at Al Frank
Asset Management in Aliso Viejo, Calif.
Apple: It should be able to keep cranking
out products that its rabid base of customers
will want to buy unlike, say, the makers of
the BlackBerry or the Palm Treo. Cash piles
are high and CEO Tim Cook, the successor to
Steve Jobs, is nding his footing. The com-
pany is more than just one man.
Newmont Mining: Even with the price of
gold falling this year, it should continue to be
protable. Newmont can still sell gold for
more than it costs to extract it, and it also has
substantial reserves of the precious metal
and a very geographically diverse mix of
mines.
Deere & Co.: Agriculture should boom as
the world population expands, and investing
in a company that makes farm equipment
seems like a good way to get on board. Think
of the gold rush: The people who sold the
picks and shovels made all the money.
Foot Locker: Sales and revenue should
continue to grow because the company has a
product that Americans want, and manage-
ment has been careful to not expand too
quickly. We buy shoes from them. We think
its a good customer experience.
Hoops: He picks Louisville, the only No.
1 seed still in the tournament. They win it for
Kevin Ware, Buckingham predicts, referring
to the sophomore who was injured in
Sundays win over Duke. Theyve got karma
on their side, theyve got the best talent,
theyve got the best coach.
Matthew Cofna
Editor of the Morningstar StockInvestor
newsletter in Chicago
Baidu: Revenue is still surging for Chinas
most popular search engine, and it still has a
corner on the market despite competition
from rival Qihoo. The falling share price
makes it a good buy. Its a rapidly growing
company priced like an average company.
C.H. Robinson Worldwide: The truck bro-
ker, which connects companies who need to
move their stuff with truckers who can move
it, has been gaining market share for decades
and should continue to do so. Its technology
and scale give it a leg up on mom-and-pop
competitors.
National Oilwell Varco: It makes equip-
ment for deep-water oil drilling and horizon-
tal drilling, which is expected to expand in
coming years. Companies that run rigs will
need to update their equipment. The more
complicated drilling gets, the better it is for
National Oilwell Varco.
Charles Schwab: Its nding a comfort-
able niche between high-end money manage-
ment services like Morgan Stanley Smith
Barney and Bank of Americas Merrill Lynch,
and services that are more do-it-yourself like
E(asterisk)Trade and TD Ameritrade. Schwab
is also good at cross-selling, which means
getting each customer to buy multiple prod-
ucts.
Hoops: I havent really been following it,
but I always go for the underdog, Cofna
says. In other words ... Wichita State.
Russell Croft
Portfolio manager of the Croft Value
Fund in Baltimore
Quanta Services: A boom in natural gas
and increased oil production will create a big-
ger demand for Quantas pipeline contracting.
It also works on the North American electric
power grid, which is old and antiquated and
needs signicant upgrades. Theres pressure
to start spending (on upgrading the grid). You
can only push it down the road so far before
you get brownouts and blackouts.
Mondelez International: The company,
which spun off from Kraft Foods last year,
makes munchies like Oreos, Cadbury choco-
lates and Ritz crackers. The snack category
should keep growing, and Mondelezs large
footprint in emerging market countries should
help.
Hardwood to trading oor: Stocks go Final Four
By Joan Lowy
WASHINGTON Airline pas-
sengers are getting grumpier, and its
little wonder.
Airlines keep shrinking the size of
seats to stuff more people onto
planes, those empty middle seats that
once provided a little more room are
now occupied and more people with
tickets are being turned away
because ights are overbooked.
Private researchers who analyzed
federal data on airline performance
also said in a report being released
Monday that consumer complaints
to the Department of Transportation
surged by one-fth last year even
though other measures such as on-
time arrivals and mishandled bag-
gage show airlines are doing a better
job.
The way airlines have taken 130-
seat airplanes and expanded them to
150 seats to squeeze out more rev-
enue I think is nally catching up
with them, said Dean Headley, a
business professor at Wichita State
University who has co-written the
annual report for 23 years.
People are saying, Look, I dont
t here. Do something about this. At
some point airlines cant keep
shrinking seats to put more people
into the same tube, he said.
The industry is even looking at
ways to make todays smaller-than-
a-broom closet toilets more compact
in the hope of squeezing a few more
seats onto planes.
I cant imagine the uproar that
making toilets smaller might gener-
ate, Headley said, especially given
that passengers increasingly weigh
more than they use to. Nevertheless,
will it keep them from ying? I
doubt it would.
In recent years, some airlines have
shifted to larger planes that can carry
more people, but that hasnt been
enough to make up for an overall
reduction in ights.
The rate at which passengers with
tickets were denied seats because
planes were full rose to 0.97 denials
per 10,000 passengers last year,
compared with 0.78 in 2011.
It used to be in cases of overbook-
ings that airlines usually could nd a
passenger who would volunteer to
give up a seat in exchange for cash, a
free ticket or some other compensa-
tion with the expectation of catching
another ight later that day or the
next morning. Not anymore.
Since ights are so full, there are
no seats on those next ights. So
people say, No, not for $500, not for
$1,000, said airline industry analyst
Robert W. Mann Jr.
Regional carrier SkyWest had the
highest involuntary denied boardings
rate last year, 2.32 per 10,000 pas-
sengers.
Airline passenger complaints surged in 2012
Tallest building in
RI will soon go dark
with zero tenants
By Michelle R. Smith
PROVIDENCE, R.I. Rhode Islands tallest building will
soon be its most visible symbol of the states long economic
decline.
The 26-story Art Deco-style skyscraper, known to some as the
Superman building for its similarity to the Daily Planet head-
quarters in the old TV show, is losing its sole tenant this month.
No one is moving in, and the building, the most distinctive fea-
ture on the Providence skyline, will no longer be fully illumi-
nated at night, if at all, its owner says.
Its a blow for the city and the state, which had 9.4 percent
unemployment in February and has had one of the worst jobless
rates in the nation for years.
Nicolas Retsinas, a senior lecturer in real estate at Harvard
Business School, says 111 Westminster, as the building is also
known, will be the ultimate urban pothole.
At 428 feet, or about one-third the height of the Empire State
Building, it was the tallest skyscraper in New England when it
opened in 1928 as the Industrial National Bank Building. It has
housed a bank ever since.
That 85-year run will end when Bank of America ends its
lease for the buildings entire 380,000 square feet and completes
its move into more modern space nearby in the coming days.
The bank most recently occupied only about 20 percent of the
building, says Bill Fischer, a spokesman for its owner, High
Rock Development of Newton, Mass.
High Rock says it does not want to use it as ofces. The build-
ing represents such a large share of downtown ofce space,
Fischer says, that it would ood the market to do that.

GOLDEN STATE BASKETBALL: THE WARRIORS FALL TO UTAH IN PLAYOFF HUNT >>> PAGE 16
By Brett Martel
NEW ORLEANS Make that
three straight upsets for Louisville,
who used the latest thriller to head
back to the womens national cham-
pionship game for the rst time
since 2009.
Antonita Slaughter scored 18
points on six 3-pointers and
Louisville clawed back from a 10-
point halftime deficit to defeat
California 64-57 in the national
semifinals Sunday. Bria Smith
scored 17 on 6 of 7 shooting for the
Cardinals (29-8), who were a No. 5
seed and became the rst team seed-
ed worse than fourth to win a Final
Four game.
The result ensures an all-Big East
Conference nal in the leagues last
season in its current form, with
Louisville meeting the winner of the
other semifinal between Notre
Dame and Connecticut on Tuesday
night one night after the
Louisville mens team plays
Michigan for the championship.
Right now anything can hap-
pen, Louisville coach Jeff Walz
said. Why not us?
Layshia Clarendon scored 17 for
Cal (32-4), which had won the
Spokane Region as a second seed.
Gennifer Brandon added 12 for the
Golden Bears and Brittany Boyd
added 10 points.
It was the third straight upset for
Louisville, which had to beat
defending national champion
Baylor and Southeastern
Conference power Tennessee just to
get to New Orleans.
No one expects us to be here,
Slaughter said. No one expects us
to be in the championship game.
Just come together as a team and
win as a team.
Shoni Schimmel, who had been
one of the stars of the tournament,
struggled early for Louisville, but
nished with 10 points, including a

Scots prep
for big week
with victory
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
No one is hiding the fact that this week will
be huge for the Carlmont High School base-
ball team and its aspirations to unseat
Burlingame High School atop the Peninsula
Athletic League table. The Scots and Panthers
face off in a pair of huge showdowns on
Wednesday and Friday.
Burlingame used the off week to toughen
up and gave West Catholic Athletic League
contender St. Ignatius everything it could
handle last Friday night despite a 2-0 loss.
The Scots took a different route in prepara-
tion by welcoming West High School of
Tracy to San Carlos and cruised to a 8-3 win.
In his second start of 2013, Matt Seubert
gained his rst victory pitching 4 2/3 innings
while allowing just one unearned run on four
West singles. He walked two, hit a batter and
struck out three
The Wolfpack whittled the score down to 6-
3 in the sixth after Carlmont jumped out to a
6-1 advantage after two innings.
West loaded the bases with two out when
Evan McClain came in to pitch the nal 1 1/3
innings to pick up his rst save of the season.
Aaron Albaum, a sophomore whos been
playing well as of late for the Scots, drove in
the rst two runs for Carlmont in the bottom
of the rst with a two-out single that plated
Kai Haake and Jason Marley.
The next batter, Justin Fink, provided the
only extra-base hit of the game with his dou-
ble to deep center, bringing Albaum home.
The Scots would score three more times in
the second with singles from Jesse Austin,
Aaron Pleschner, Tanner Westmoreland (good
for an RBI) and Nick Rich (good for two
RBIs).
The sixth pitcher of the afternoon for West
walked the bases loaded to start the bottom of
the sixth and McClain's sacrice y brought
in Pleschner.
Albaum would then produce his second hit
and third run batted in of the day with a sin-
gle to left that drove in Haake.
Carlmont is now 13-2 on the season. The
Scots hold a one-game lead over the Panthers
in the Bay Division standings.
LOWELL 5, SACRED HEART PREP
Sacred Heart Preps run through San
Francisco schools hasnt gone smoothly.
A day after Archbishop Riordan teed off on
Gator pitching to the tune of 12 runs, SHP ran
into a very hot Aaron Leong of Lowell High
School.
Leong gave SHP ts at the dish and on the

scoring the rst run, Leong was 2-for-3 with

Cards crush Cain
By Rick Eymer
SAN FRANCISCO Matt Carpenter has
no explanation for the sudden turn of events,
other than a little bit of luck and a lot of
aggression.
Matt Cain became the rst Giants pitcher to
allow nine runs in an inning since 1902 when
Carpenter and the St. Louis Cardinals tagged
him Sunday in a 14-3 romp over San
Francisco.
I wasnt as sharp as I was, for some rea-
son, for the rst three innings and it just kind
of fell apart, Cain said. I dont know that
they changed anything. I just started making
some bad pitches and they put good swings
together.
The Cardinals chased Cain (0-1) while
scoring nine times in the fourth inning. The
last two runs came home on Carlos Beltrans
single off reliever Jose Mijares.
He was great the rst time through the
order and then I thought we did a good job the
second time being aggressive, Carpenter
said. Guys were battling up there and things
started to roll for us and a couple of balls fell
in. We did a good job of swinging at good
pitches.
According to research by the Elias Sports
Bureau provided by the team, Cain was the
rst Giants pitcher to give up so many runs in
a single inning since John Cronin on Sept. 27,
1902, in the second game of New Yorks dou-
bleheader against Brooklyn.
Its one of those innings we couldnt stop
the bleeding and the game got out of hand
there, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. I
cant say there was anything different he was
doing. They just threw out some pretty good
at-bats.

The supposed showdown in womens col-
lege softball atop the Coast Conference North
Division turned out to be anything but that.
As it stands, by virtue of its 10-0 shelling of
Foothill College, the College of San Mateo
softball team now has an anaconda-like grip
on the divisions top spot with four games
to play, the Bulldog lead is 3 1/2 games (on
De Anza College) and four on the Owls.
Michelle Pilster was sensational in the cir-
cle for the Bulldogs. The CSM ace and reign-
ing California Community College Athletic
Associations Pitcher of the Year went six
innings allowing just one hit and zero runs.
Amelia Shales pitched a perfect ninth this
after shutting down Chabot College a couple
of days earlier in a ve-inning mercy rule vic-
tory.
Jenn Davidson and Kaylin Stewart had big
offensive days for the Bulldogs both went
2-for-4 from the plate and drove in three runs.
Selina Rodriguez, formerly of El Camino
High School in South San Francisco, also had
a multi-hit game including a triple.
CSM jumped all over Foothill in the early
part of the game. They scored a run in the rst
and added four more in the second. The
Bulldogs sprinkled in runs during the third
and sixth before leaving absolutely no doubt
with a three-run seventh. In all, CSM tallied
11 hits and drew four walks.
Jamie Navarro went deep for CSM. The for-
mer Capuchino Mustang now was four on the
season with 35 runs batted in and is hitting a
robust .437.
Pilster picked up her state-leading 23rd win.
COLLEGE BASEBALL:
GAVILAN 9, CAADA 5
The Colts of Caada College could not
overcome a tough start by David Moody and
let a big opportunity slip away.
With a chance to make the Coast
Conference Pacic Division very, very inter-

SAN JOSE Despite dealing
away many of their star players
before this weeks NHL trade dead-
line, the Dallas Stars are delivering
a clear message to the rest of the
Western Conference that they arent
packing it in just yet.
Jamie Benn scored the lone goal
in the shootout and Kari Lehtonen
stopped all three attempts as the
Stars snapped the San Jose Sharks
seven-game winning streak with a
5-4, come-from-behind victory on
Sunday.
They can keep thinking that. The
only thing that matters is what we
believe in this dressing room, Benn
said. Its not going to be pretty
some nights. But the effort is going
to be there and the heart and charac-
ter will be there also. I think you
saw part of that.
Alex Chiasson started the second
rally back from a two-goal decit
when he scored his second goal of
his third career game early in the
third period. Loui Erickson tied it
for the Stars, who have beaten divi-
sion-leading Anaheim and the
streaking Sharks the past two
games.
Eric Nystrom also scored, and
Lehtonen made 32 saves through
overtime for Dallas, which moved
within four points of Detroit for the
nal playoff spot.
The situation were in, every
game is important, forward Ray
Whitney said. If we have any
chance at all (to reach playoffs) its
going to be a pretty impressive run
at the end. If you look at these guys,
they hit a hot streak at the right
time. You can see how it catapulted
them up in the standings. For us to
have any chance, were going to
have to go on a similar run.
Tommy Wingels, Brent Burns, TJ
Galiardi and Marc-Edouard Vlasic
scored for the Sharks, who had won
the rst six games of their seven-
game homestand. San Jose failed in
its attempt to become the rst NHL
team to win every game on a home-
stand of at least seven games,
according to STATS LLC.
Its very disappointing, Wingels
said. Were happy with the homes-
tand as a whole but youre only as
good as your latest performance.
There are things we need to clean
up and move on.
Benn beat Antti Niemi in the sec-
ond round of the shootout when he
skated out wide and then came back
to the middle for a forehand shot.
Lehtonen sealed the win when he
stopped Burns on the nal attempt.
This was the rst of three meetings
between the teams in a span of 17
days, and the clubs look far different
than they did for the rst meeting of
the season in February in Dallas.
The Stars have traded key players
Brenden Morrow, Jaromir Jagr,
Derek Roy and Michael Ryder since
winning 3-1 then. That loss was the
ninth in 10 games for the Sharks,
who have turned things around dra-
matically of late.
San Jose won in Anaheim on
March 25 and then took the rst six
games of this homestand to vault
from outside the playoff picture to
the middle of the ght for home-ice
advantage in the rst round.
I like to look at the positives, it
was a good homestand, captain Joe
Thornton said. Now we have to go
win some games on the road. All in
all, we needed to win some games at
home and we did. It would have
been nice to get the two tonight but
we didnt. But good homestand.
The Stars twice erased two-goal
decits with Nystrom and Chiasson
scoring 26 seconds apart in the sec-
ond period to tie the game at 2.
Chiasson and Erickson scored in the
opening half of the third period to
tie it at 4. The tying goal game when
Erickson beat Brad Stuart to the
rebound of a shot by Matt Fraser
midway through the third.
I just think we kept believing in
here, Chiasson said. We were
down 2-0, made it back 2-2, then
were down 4-2 and made it back 4-
4 and ended up winning in a
shootout.

In losing, the Colts drop to 8-8 in Coast
Conference Pacic play, 1 ? games behind
Gavilan in the standings as the baseball sea-
son heads down the home stretch.
Moody pitched 4 2/3 innings, surrendering
all nine runs. He allowed 12 hits including a
home run.
The Colts actually jumped out to a 2-0 lead
on the road. Dylan Cook singled to lead off
the game and made it to third by stealing sec-
ond and then taking advantage of passed ball.
Then with one out, Andrew Vanisi (Aragon
High School) singled him home. After a
Justin Gubse, another passed ball and an error
by Gavilan, Vanisi came to score and make it
2-0.
But that would be all the offense Caada
mustered until the eighth inning when they
put up a three-spot. Up until then, Erik Barron
stied Caada bats. Barron went eight innings
and stuck out eight while allowing nine hits
only two of the runs he surrendered were
earned.
Cook and Maurice Fuller had multi-hit
games for the Colts.
In other junior college baseball action,
Skyline College fell to Monterey Peninsula
College 6-4.
COLLEGE SWIMMING
CSM nished their regular season schedule
at the Chabot Invitational.
We had very good swims today, said
CSM head coach Randy Wright. Alvaro
Andaluz and Derek Koo were able to drop
time in their events, improving their chances
to qualify for States. Al (breaststroke) and
Derek (backstroke) are both in the top 16 but
are dangerously close to the 16th place cut
line. Despite the improvement, they will need
a big nish to be safe.
Freshman diver Erin Harris once again had
a strong showing, placing rst in the one
meter and second in the three meter. Coach
Kelly Winterbottom has done an amazing job
with Erin, Wright said. [Harris] showed a
lot more poise and condence in today's
meet. Championship diving gets started next
Saturday in Modesto at the NorCal Diving
Championships.
The top 6 in each event qualify for State
Finals.
Erin has a great dive list, if she can nish
she will be a top contender in the North.
Other top nishers include the all-world
Miya Oto, who took rst in the 50 freestyle and
50 backstroke. She also helped the womens
400 medley relay team of Rachel Rosas,
Kellsey Mercado and Kelly Dwyer, win.
Andaluz won four events, including the
mens version of the same relay along with
Jason Wong, Derek Koo and Richard
Gonzalez.

The Oaks continued their winning ways on
Saturday afternoon as they completed the
series sweep of National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics West foe Corban
University by slugging out 35 runs on 38 hits.
Menlo took the front end 15-9 and won 20-
6 in game two.
The long ball was big for Menlo on
Saturday as Jimmy Bosco led the team with a
four-home run, 10-RBI performance at the
plate with two home runs coming in each
game.
Michael Brandi, Ronnie Schivo and Daniel
Comstock each added a home run to the 20-
run effort in the series nale.
The win is the 10th straight for the Oaks
and the 16th of their last 17 games.
Menlo betters their record to 25-14 (14-6)
while Corban falls to 22-17 (8-12).
Bosco continues to do it all for the Oaks.
Bosco batted .538 on the weekend with 11
runs, 12 RBIs, six walks, a double and those
four home runs. He also added two outeld
assists and stole a base.
Menlo scored 55 runs on 48 hits and struck
out just 13 times in 144 at bats
The win is the teams 25th of the season.
They did not reach 25 wins until April 22 in
2012.

clutch transition pull-up that gave Louisville a
57-54 lead with 2:06 left.
Clarendon responded with a left win 3 of
her own to tie it, but Sara Hammond, playing
with four fouls for the last 7:20, gave the
Cardinals the lead for good with a string move
inside as she was fouled. On Saturday night,
Louisvilles mens team had to erase a 12-
point second-half deficit against Wichita
State, so the women didnt need much inspi-
ration when they went into halftime trailing
37-27.
Louisville re-emerged composed and
quickly narrowed its decit with a 7-0 run that
began with Schimmels 3. Smith added a mid-
range jumper and Hammond scored inside to
make it 37-34.
Cal was back up 47-39 when Clarendon
spun into the lane for a pull-up jumper, but the
Cardinals then scored the next seven points,
starting with Slaughters deep 3 and ending
with Jude Schimmels free throws that made it
as close as 47-46.
The Cardinals nally pulled back into the
lead when Hammonds free throws made it
53-52 with 3:40 left.
Before tip-off, Walz had the relaxed look of
a coach who had been there before, which of
course he had, when Louisville fell to
Connecticut in the 2009 national title game.
Walz walked over to the Cal bench for a
friendly chat with Golden Bears coach
Lindsay Gottlieb, giving her a hug before he
walked back toward his bench, and then
across the court to welcome some fans in the
front row.
Walzs team also appeared more composed in
the rst few minutes, racing to an 8-2 lead with
the help of Slaughters rst 3 and a pair of
layups by Smith. Smiths third basket inside the
rst ve minutes give Louisville a 10-6 lead,
then Cal started to look more comfortable.
Talia Caldwells putback marked the begin-
ning of a 12-1 run, capped by Clarendons
transition jumper that gave the Golden Bears
an 18-11 lead.
Jude Schimmels 3 got Louisville as close
as 25-22 midway through the half, but the
Cardinals had trouble keeping pace while
Shoni Schimmel, their leading scorer, missed
six of her rst seven shots.
Cal, which has won with strong rebounding
all season, also controlled the game in that
department, 23-11 overall and 8-3 in offensive
rebounds. Complicating matters for
Louisville was that Hammond, their leading
rebounder (6.5 per game), sat out most of the
rst half with two fouls.
CAL
Adam Wainwright (1-1) pitched seven
innings, giving up two runs on seven hits for
his rst win since signing a rich new contract
at the end of spring training. He struck out six
and walked none.
Pitching against Matt you have to take that
0-0 mentality, Wainwright said. I cracked
rst and I thought I had to keep it there for us
to have a chance. Our offense did an amazing
job. Against a pitcher like that you never
expect anything like that.
Cain pitched a perfect game last year and
helped the Giants win their second title in
three seasons. The pregame ceremony includ-
ed the presentation of rings to Giants Hall of
Famers Willie Mays, Willie McCovey,
Orlando Cepeda, Juan Marchial and Gaylord
Perry.
Cain retired the rst nine batters, then gave
up seven hits while getting just two outs in the
fourth. Beltran, Carpenter and Matt Adams
each drove in two runs during the outburst.
Cain left after Carpenters two-run single.
I dont know what it is, every at-bat has
been tough against him, said Carpenter, who
is 6 for 7 lifetime against Cain. All I can say
he comes at me, gets ahead and I have to ght
back into the count. Hes as good as there is in
the league.
Back in 2008, the Cardinals scored nine
runs against Cain spread out over 3 2-3
innings.
Adams nished with three hits, including a
two-run double in the fourth.
I cant get over the two-strike, two-out hits
we were putting together, Cardinals manag-
er Mike Matheny said. If youre looking for
a kind of offense, thats what we can be. It
was a nice run there.
The Giants gave up their most runs in an
inning since 2004 when Cincinnati scored 10
in the eighth.
The Cardinals team record is 12 in an
inning, accomplished last July.
Carpenter added an RBI double in the
eighth. Allen Craig, Pete Kozma and John Jay
also drove in two runs apiece.
Brandon Belt singled with two outs in the
Giants ninth to end an 0-for-12 streak and
Nick Noonan followed with a single for his
rst major league hit.
NOTES: Cardinals 3B David Freese was 3
for 5 with 2 RBIs in a rehab game with Triple-
A Memphis. ... LHP Jamie Garcia (1-0, 1.59)
starts Monday night for the Cardinals against
Cincinnati. His eight wins against the Reds
are his most against any team. ... LHP
Madison Bumgarner (1-0, 0.00) starts for the
Giants on Monday night against the Colorado
Rockies. He has a career 2.39 ERA against
the Rockies. ... Cain is 2-4 with a 6.18 ERA in
nine starts against St. Louis. ... Cardinals RHP
Joe Kelly was hit in the hand by Guillermo
Quirozs line drive that went for an RBI single
in the ninth. He will have X-rays taken
Monday in St. Louis.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Giants minor-leaguer Jack
Snodgrass was admittedly a little
anxious Friday night prior to his
Double-A debut.
But the big left-hander went
about his pregame business at The
Diamond in Richmond, Virginia
like it was just another game.
Before hitting the eld, he watched
the beginning of the big clubs
home opener on the clubhouse tele-
vision, enjoying the rst ve frames
of Barry Zitos seven shutout
innings in the Giants 1-0 win over
St. Louis.
Snodgrass echoed Zitos gem by
throwing one of his own, as the
southpaw combined with reliever
Daryl Maday to toss the rst no-hit-
ter in Flying Squirrels history, top-
ping Twins Double-A afliate New
Britain, 1-0.
An abbreviated seven-inning
game due to its being preceded by
the continuation of Richmonds
rain-delayed season opener from the
previous night, Snodgrass faced just
one over the minimum through six
innings of work. He induced 10
groundouts and struck out two
against one walk, throwing a total of
72 pitches.
I just felt condent out there
from pitch-one, to be honest,
Snodgrass said. With each pitch, I
grew more and more condent in
my stuff and how things were going
to work out.
Just three pitches shy of
Richmonds early-season pitch limit
of 75, Snodgrass handed the ball
over to Maday. The right-hander
battled through an error and a walk
before striking out New Britain left
elder Dan Rohlng to end it.
That last inning, it wasnt exact-
ly as smooth as youd like it,
Maday said. There was an error
behind me then I walked a guy.
The last batter of the inning, we had
a pretty good battle going. I threw
him a couple good sliders and I
ended up getting to a full count.
I threw him another slider, and he
took it looking.
Snodgrass dealing
One at bat may have cost
Snodgrass the chance to go the dis-
tance. With one out in the fourth,
the 6-foot-6 left-hander locked up
with New Britain first baseman
Reynaldo Rodriguez. The two bat-
tled though a nine-pitch at bat
before Snodgrass struck out the
journeyman slugger. But after six
innings, the pitch count knocked
Snodgrass out of the game.
I thought they may give me a
shot (in the seventh) just in case I
got three one-pitch outs, Snodgrass
said. But I was totally cool with
handing the ball over. I understood
the circumstances. Theyre looking
out for me so by no means was
there any animosity getting taken
out of the game.
Snodgrass has pitched one previ-
ous no-hitter in his life, as a 15-
year-old on his American Legion
team in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
On the other hand, Maday has never
pitched a no-hitter. And the native
of Bristol, Wisconsin had never
been involved in one until Friday
nights historic feat in Richmond.
Guys were excited, Maday said.
There wasnt a whole lot of jump-
ing around or any champagne
spraying or anything like that. But I
was just excited for Jack his rst
Double-A start just coming in
and pitching a really, really good
game. I was happy to be able to
secure his first win here in
Richmond.
Pitching-rich system
Snodgrass is one of just five
pitchers to receive a Double-A pro-
motion from last years High-A San
Jose squad. Along with fellow
starters Ryan Bradley and Taylor
Rogers, Snodgrass hopes to contin-
ue the success they saw last season.
Each posted double-digit wins in
2012, while each ranking in the
California League top 10 in innings
pitched.
There isnt currently a lot of room
for advancement in the Giants
pitching-rich farm system, however.
The major league pitching staff
returned all but one pitcher from
last seasons World Championship
team, with reliever Chad Gaudin
replacing veteran right-hander
Guillermo Mota, who departed via
free agency.
Theres kind of a logjam in the
organization at the moment,
Snodgrass said. So, its pushing
guys that could be here back in
High-A, or somewhere else in the
organization. Were denitely rich
in pitching. You can say that for the
major league roster as well.
Relievers Phil McCormick and
Jose Valdez were also promoted
from San Jose to Richmond to start
the season.
Other prominent debuts
The two top pitching prospects in
the Giants organization also made
their respective season debuts over
the weekend.
Right-hander Kyle Crick the
Giants top overall prospect accord-
ing to Baseball America took his
rst High-A start Saturday, working
four innings to take a no-decision in
San Joses 6-2 win at Visalia. Crick
allowed just one run on three hits,
while striking out three. He did
wrestle with his control however,
walking four and throwing a wild
pitch.
San Jose third baseman Ryan
Cavan (Menlo School) went deep in
the game for his rst home run of
the year.
And at Low-A Augusta, right-
hander Chris Stratton the organi-
zations No. 3 prospect after Crick
and Double-A second baseman Joe
Panik, according to Baseball
America bounced back from a
freak injury that ended his 2012 sea-
son. Following a fast professional
start last year in which he was the
Giants top amateur draft pick in
June, Stratton was struck in the head
by a line drive during batting prac-
tice in August.
Stratton showed no ill effects
Saturday in earning his rst win of
the season, leading the
GreenJackets past Lexington 4-1.
The big right-hander out of
Mississippi State worked five
innings, allowing one run on six hits
while walking one and striking out
three.
Former Cal third baseman Mitch
Delno powered Augusta with a
double and two RBIs.
Flying Squirrels duo combines for teams first ever no-hitter
By Kristie Rieken
HOUSTON Brett Anderson
bent over to stuff some things into
his suitcase, stood up and bumped
his head into the open door at the
top of his locker.
It was a tting end to an up-and-
down day for Oaklands starting
pitcher who got a win against
Houston, but also deected two
Astros hits off his left thumb and wrist
and needed X-rays after the game.
It doesnt feel great, Anderson
said of his wrist. I got a couple
other places on my body that does-
nt feel good now either with my
head now and my wrist.
Anderson struck out 10 more
Houston batters and the Athletics
backed him with three home runs
for a 9-3 win Sunday and a three-
game sweep of the Astros.
He got bruised on his thumb in
the second inning and dinged on his
wrist in the sixth.
Other than the fact that I could-
nt get out of the way, it was a pret-
ty good day, Anderson said. I
pitched pretty decent, got some
ground balls and some strikeouts
and got a win.
Coco Crisp homered for the third
straight day, Jed Lowrie again con-
nected against his former team and
Chris Young homered in his home-
town. The As sent Houston to its
fth straight loss.
The Astros, playing their rst year
in the American League, went 1-5
on their season-opening homestand
against Texas and Oakland. Theyll
now start a nine-game road trip to
the West Coast against division
opponents.
You never look forward to going
on the road, but it might be a fresh
start to get on the road a little bit,
Houstons Brandon Barnes said.
Its just one of those things where
well try to go out and have fun.
Anderson (1-1) and the As
bullpen combined for 14 strikeouts.
The Astros 74 strikeouts through
the rst six games are the most in
major league history since 1921,
STATS said. The previous mark was
held by Colorado, which fanned 65
times through the rst six games of
2004.
Houston has reached double-digit
strikeouts in ve games. All but one
starting pitcher the Astros have
faced has either set or tied a career
high for strikeouts against them.
Anderson tied a career high for
strikeouts in only six innings. He
allowed two unearned runs and ve
hits.
Three HRs propel As over Astros 9-3

NBA PLAYOFF RACE GLANCE
By Antonio Gonzalez
OAKLAND Mo Williams
scored 25 points, Al Jefferson added
19 points and 12 rebounds, and the
Utah Jazz regained the Western
Conferences nal playoff position
by holding off the Golden State
Warriors 97-90 on Sunday night.
Williams made a 3-pointer with
13.4 seconds remaining to put Utah
ahead by six and spoil Golden
States shot to clinch a playoff berth
in front of a sellout crowd of
19,596. The Jazz moved a half-
game ahead of the Los Angeles
Lakers for the eighth seed.
Stephen Curry scored 17 of his 22
points in the rst half and Klay
Thompson had 20 points for the
Warriors, who were trying to clinch
a postseason spot for the rst time
since 2007 and just the second in 19
years.
That celebration will have to wait.
The Jazz played like a team play-
ing for its playoff life, just as coach
Tyrone Corbin had hoped before the
game. They outhustled and outmus-
cled Golden State for most of the
game, holding off one nal urry
for a critical win.
After the Warriors went down 11
points late in the fourth quarter,
Thompson and Curry each hit a 3-
pointer to cut Utahs lead to 91-86 with
3:28 to play. Draymond Green fol-
lowed by tipping in David Lees miss
to bring the Warriors within three.
Jefferson hit a jumper that
silenced fans standing all over the
arena, then Lee answered with a
layup to bring the crowd back to full
throat. Golden State forced another
stop, but wasted the offensive
opportunity.
Green had his layup blocked by
Derrick Favors, got the ball back
and tossed it out to Jarrett Jack, who
missed a contested 3-pointer with
the shot clock winding down. The
Jazz isolated Williams at the top of
the arc against Green, and he
drained the shot that sent Utah
home with a monumental win.
The Lakers lost 109-95 to the
Clippers earlier Sunday to give the
Jazz a major opportunity in what
has already been a topsy-turvy race
for the nal spot. Utah owns the
tiebreaker after winning the season
series against the Lakers 2-1.
Golden State, still in sixth place
in the West, still needs any combi-
nation of two wins or losses by the
conferences ninth team to seal a
playoff berth. A slow start just
proved too much to overcome.
Curry kept the Warriors on pace
by scoring the rst nine points dur-
ing his teams erratic start, which
included four turnovers in the rst
4:12. He made his rst three shots
from the arc, the last giving Golden
State a 38-29 lead midway through
the second quarter.
The Jazz erased that decit in
fewer than four minutes behind a
17-4 run capped by Gordon
Haywards 3-pointer. After going
ahead by 10 points on consecutive
deep 3s by Randy Foye and Mo
Williams, Utah held on for a 56-48
halftime lead.
Jazz top Warriors 97-90, regain 8th spot in West

e recently heard from an owner
whose dog was hit by a car.
While the dogs physical issues
were resolved with surgery and physical
therapy (she limps occasionally, but gets
around very well), she no longer goes on
walks, something she absolutely loved
before her accident. She will get as far as
the sidewalk, and then put on the brakes.
Her digging in at this physical barrier also
seems to be associated with a car driving
past the house. The good news is that this
can be turned around. Odds are, the initial
accident was very traumatic and now she
associates every walk outside with potential
car accidents. A dog could have a similar
association with stormy, rainy weather or
even with car rides, if her last and only ride
was a trip to the vet. I knew a dog a typi-
cal water-loving breed who feared water.
When she was young, she was running in
the small strip of patio between a pool and
hot tub and slid into the pool. The technique
used to help dogs overcome these fears is
desensitization and counterconditioning. The
idea is to expose your dog to that which
scares them at a very low level, one that
doesnt trigger the negative response and
then you can teach a new response. Take the
rst example. Maybe that dog wouldnt
react negatively if she saw the car from 100
feet away. Or, for the dog who fears stormy
weather and wont go outside to pee or poop
when its raining, you can take her out dur-
ing a light sprinkle. If the dog remains calm
with this level of exposure, you up the ante.
The key to desensitization is introducing a
counterconditioning element, a new positive
association. Food or treats are wonderful
tools for this, but they work best if they are
special treats, not the daily treats or biscuits.

LOS ANGELES Resurrected
demons and resurrected dinosaurs
are helping to put some life back
into the weekend box ofce.
The demonic horror remake Evil
Dead debuted at No. 1 with $26
million, according to studio esti-
mates Sunday.
In a tight ght for second-place
were two holdovers, the animated
comedy The Croods and the
action ick G.I. Joe: Retaliation,
both with an estimated $21.1 mil-
lion. Final numbers Monday will
sort out which movie comes out
ahead.
Steven Spielbergs 3-D debut of
his dinosaur blockbuster Jurassic
Park came in fourth with $18.2
million. Thats on top of the $357.1
million domestic haul for Jurassic
Park in its initial run in 1993.
Released by Sonys TriStar
Pictures, Evil Dead added $4.5
million in 21 overseas markets, giv-
ing it a worldwide start of $30.5
million. Shot on a modest budget of
$17 million, the movie is well on its
way to turning a prot.
The remake was produced by the
1983 originals lmmakers, director
Sam Raimi and producer Rob
Tapert, and its star, Bruce
Campbell. The new Evil Dead
lays the gore on thickly for the story
of a group of friends terrorized and
possessed by demons during a trip
to a cabin in the woods.
Its one crazy ride, that movie. I
have to think Sam Raimi is so proud
in remaking this lm that it turned
out so well, said Rory Bruer, head
of distribution for Sony. Its such a
visceral ride, where youre holding
on to your seat or holding on to the
person next to you.
Paramounts G.I. Joe sequel,
which had been No. 1 the previous
weekend, pushed its domestic total
to $86.7 million. The movie also
added $40.2 million overseas for an
international haul of $145.2 million
and a worldwide take of $232 mil-
lion.
The Croods, a DreamWorks
Animation release distributed by
20th Century Fox, raised its domes-
tic total to $125.8 million after three
weekends. Overseas, the movie did
an additional $34.1 million to lift its
international total to $206.8 million
and its worldwide receipts to $333
million.
Universal Pictures Jurassic
Park reissue opened in a similar
range of other recent blockbuster 3-
D releases such as Titanic ($17.3
million) and Star Wars: Episode I
The Phantom Menace ($22.4
million).
None of the new movies or
holdovers came close to the domes-
tic business being done a year ago
by The Hunger Games, which led
over the same weekend in 2012 with
$33.1 million in its third weekend.
But collectively, Hollywood had a
winning lineup of movies that gave
revenues a lift from last year.
Domestic receipts totaled $134
million, up 8.5 percent from the rst
weekend of April a year ago, accord-
ing to box-office tracker
Hollywood.com. That uptick comes
after three-straight weekends of
declining revenue and a quiet rst
quarter in which domestic business
has totaled $2.47 billion, down 11.4
percent from the same point in 2012.
Evil Dead rises again with $26M box-ofce stake
Fashion designer Lilly
Pulitzer dies at age 81
MIAMI Lilly Pulitzer hosted parties in her bare feet and
wasnt afraid to get a little messy just as long as she looked
good and had fun, too.
In the late 1950s, the Palm Beach socialite had time to spare
and a wealthy husband who owned citrus groves, so she
opened an orange juice stand just off the islands main shop-
ping street. Pulitzer needed to hide all the juice stains on her
clothes, though. Instead of just putting on an apron, she asked
her seamstress to make some sleeveless dresses in colorful
fruit prints, and a fashion staple was born.
Pulitzer died at her home Sunday, according to Quattlebaum
Funeral and Cremation Services. She was 81. Pulitzers tropical
print dresses became a sensation in the 1960s when then-rst lady
Jacqueline Kennedy, who attended boarding school with Pulitzer,
wore one of the sleeveless shifts in a Life magazine photo spread.

TV set, only 18 percent are interested in hook-
ing it up through a traditional pay TV sub-
scription.
Zero TVers tend to be younger, single and
without children. Nielsens senior vice presi-
dent of insights, Dounia Turrill, says part of
the new monitoring regime is meant to help
determine whether theyll change their behav-
ior over time. As these homes change life
stage, what will happen to them?
Cynthia Phelps, a 43-year-old maker of
mental health apps in San Antonio, Texas,
says theres nothing that will bring her back to
traditional TV. Shes watched TV in the past,
of course, but for most of the last 10 years
shes done without it.
She nds a lot of programs online to watch
on her laptop for free like the TED talks
educational series and every few months
she gets together with friends to watch older
TV shows on DVD, usually something total-
ly geeky, like NBCs Chuck.
The 24-hour news channels make her anx-
ious or depressed, and buzz about the latest
hot TV shows like Mad Men doesnt make
her feel like shes missing out. She didnt
know who the Kardashian family was until
she looked them up a few years ago.
I feel absolutely no social pressure to keep
up with the Joneses in that respect, she says.
For Phelps, its less about saving money
than choice. She says shed rather spend her
time productively and not get sucked into
shows shell regret later.
I dont want someone else dictating the
media I get every day, she says. I want to be
in charge of it. When I have a TV, Im less in
control of that.
The TV industry has a host of buzz words to
describe these non-traditionalist viewers.
There are cord-cutters, who stop paying for
TV completely, and make do with online
video and sometimes an antenna. There are
cord-shavers, who reduce the number of
channels they subscribe to, or the number of
rooms pay TV is in, to save money.
Then there are the cord-nevers, young
people who move out on their own and never
set up a landline phone connection or a TV
subscription. They usually make do with a
broadband Internet connection, a computer, a
cellphone and possibly a TV set that is not
hooked up the traditional way.
Thats the label given to the group by
Richard Schneider, the president and founder
of the online retailer Antennas Direct. The site
is doing great business selling antennas capa-
ble of accepting free digital signals since the
nations transition to digital over-the-air
broadcasts in 2009, and is on pace to sell near-
ly 600,000 units this year, up from a few
dozen when it started in 2003.
While the cord-nevers are a target market
for him, the category is also troubling. More
people are raised with the power of the
Internet in their pocket, and dont know or
care that you can pull TV signals from the air
for free.
Theyre more aware of Netix than theyre
aware over-the-air is even available,
Schneider says.
That brings us to truck driver James Weitze.
The 31-year-old satises his video x with an
iPhone. He often sleeps in his truck, and has
no apartment. To be sure, hes an extreme case
who doesnt t into Nielsens denition of a
household in the rst place. But hes watching
Netix enough to keep up with shows like
Weeds, 30 Rock, Arrested
Development, Breaking Bad, Its Always
Sunny in Philadelphia and Sons of
Anarchy.
Hes not opposed to TV per se, and misses
some ESPN sports programs like the X
Games.
But hes so divorced from the traditional TV
ecosystem it could be hard to go back. Its
become easier for him to navigate his smart-
phone than to gure out how to use a TV set-
top box and the button-laden remote control.
Im pretty tech savvy, but the TV industry
with the cable and the television and the
boxes, you dont know how to use their equip-
ment, he says. I try to go over to my grand-
mas place and teach her how to do it. I cant
even gure it out myself.

Mackintosh and Riddell, however, say
no new taxes will be
required to make a
stand-alone depart-
ment work on the
coast.
The recall election
is already underway
and about 3,000
votes have reported-
ly been cast so far.
If a majority of the
recall vote is yes
for any of the three
ofces, the election
shall also determine
who will replace the
directors on the
board.
Alifano is being
challenged by Karen
A n d e r s o n ;
Mackintosh is being
challenged by J.B.
Cockrell; and Riddell is being chal-
lenged by Lee
McKusick and
Harvey Rarback.
Both sides have
attracted union
money from either
Cal Fire supporters
or those who want to
gain local control of
the service.
A l i f a n o ,
Mackintosh and
Riddell voted to
ditch Cal Fire last
year because they
say it did not meet
the demands of its
contract with the dis-
trict, including pro-
viding extensive
municipal re train-
ing. The three were
also not pleased with
the high turnover of reghters serving
the coast. Up to 250 different reghters
have been rotated in and out of the area
since Cal Fire started providing service
there six years ago.
The opponents want to take the direc-
tors seats so they can get a new contract
in the works with Cal Fire, however,
before the current
one ends June 30.
Meanwhile, the
district has started to
search for a re chief
to lead a new stand-
alone department
with directors Gary
Burke and Ginny
McShane consistent-
ly voting against the
plan over the past
year.
Recall supporters
are emboldened by a
San Mateo Civil
Grand Jury report
that praised Cal
Fires service and
stated that the effort
to re-establish a re
department to serve
the coast was ill-advised.
Previously, the Half Moon Bay Fire
Protection District and Point Montara
Fire Protection District provided service
on the coast but the two consolidated in
2007 to form the Coastside Fire
Protection District, which contracted
with Cal Fire shortly after because the
old departments were mismanaged.
RACE
ries are quite different. How they
escaped and remained unharmed
personally often came in unexpected
ways. But each emphasized the
importance of sharing history to be
sure its never forgotten.
Escaping the war
Al Kuhn grew up in a small
German community. A knock on his
family door changed everything.
They were among local Jewish peo-
ple who were rounded up in the mid-
dle of the night. Women and chil-
dren were separated from the men,
who were then imprisoned. Kuhn
was able to return home where they
witnessed soldiers destroying the
towns synagogue. He described
how the religious building had hard
benches, which had special feather-
stuffed cushions. Those were thrown
into the re, said Kuhn who then
saw feathers going into the sky.
Those same feathers rained down on
the community for days, he said.
His family decided to sacrice
everything for a way out. They had
owned and run a general store
which slowly lost patronage. When
a wealthy man was looking for
cheap labor to run a farm he planned
to start in Bolivia, Kuhns father told
a lie to get his family the job. Kuhns
mother traded their silver to get the
dollars needed to purchase a ticket
currency Jewish people werent
supposed to have at the time, he
said. The family was then on its way.
On the trip, the family was
allowed to bring some things with
them a sewing machine, some
tools and the tuxedo Kuhns father
wore on his wedding day. Today, he
still has two of the 70-year-old dish
towels embroidered with his moth-
ers initials.
The Kuhn family was essentially
the last one to escape his village in
Germany. Since then, those tracing
what happened to residences have
created lists of those who died. The
names are familiar to Kuhn, who
was just a little boy at the time. His
family lived for 10 years in South
America. It was in 1949 that his
family was able to make it to the
United States.
His wife, 75-year-old Liliane
Kuhn, was born in Paris to German-
born parents who had ed their
homeland in 1933 when Hitler
gained power. Her father joined the
French Foreign Legion. Her mother,
along with another woman, ended
up walking about 300 miles from
Paris to Lyon pushing young ones in
a stroller. Along the way, a German
soldier questioned the two women
who were trying to escape but an
ofcer insisted the ladies be allowed
to pass. Once in Lyon, the mother
with a young baby found an apart-
ment in a fth-oor walk-up. Their
Christian neighbors offered to help
hide Liliane Kuhn with their family
who owned a farm in the mountains.
The family essentially fostered the
little girl for four years. Her parents
would visit when they could and
Liliane Kuhn found herself bonding
with the familys son, who acted as
her older brother.
At the end of the war, I was
returned to my parents. I was very
lucky, said Liliane Kuhn, who has
vivid memories of being taken to the
farmhouse as an infant but none of
being returned to her mother.
Kuhn recognizes how lucky her
family was. Through the help of oth-
ers, they remained safe. She
remained in contact with the family
that took her in over the years.
Looking back, Kuhn noted that,
while in school, her history books
never discussed either World War I
or World War II a period she
must have learned about from her
parents.
The couple ended up meeting on a
blind date in New York. They only
moved to California a few years ago
but their son lives nearby in San
Mateo.
Living through uncertainty
Levy, 87, was born in Yugoslavia
where she lived until 1941 when she
was 15. Then, her comfortable life
as a teenager came to an end, she
said. Changes came on slowly but
were noticeable. For example,
Jewish people needed to wear a yel-
low star on their clothing. Levy, who
often tells her story to school chil-
dren, had a felt yellow star on hand
that she made to give a visual. Once
the star was on her clothes, Levy
noticed friends she had her whole
life treated her differently, hurriedly
crossing the street to get away from
her. She watched as Jewish families
had land and possessions taken
away and professionals were told
they could no longer do their work.
Knocks started on nearby doors
a sign that someone in the fami-
ly would most likely be taken. First,
Levy watched her cousin leave to
work in a labor camp, at least that
was the explanation at the time.
Years later, a mass grave was found
on the edge of town. It was assumed
those young men who were rst
taken were inside. In total, Levy lost
11 family members in the
Holocaust.
Her immediate family dealt with
many more knocks on the door. The
next knock required that she, her
mother and father go to a fairground.
After a night, Levys brother came
waving papers signed by the men
working in the factory their father
managed. The workers had signed a
petition to give him special permis-
sion and the family returned home.
Those left at the fairground were
deported the next day and never
heard from again, she said.
Special permission didnt keep
Levys father safe for long. Another
knock at the door came and this time
the militia wanted Levys father. He
was sent to a brutal camp in Croatia.
He did return to the family but, at
50, Levy recalled her father looking
like a man of 90 with two black n-
gers and eyes that had seen horror.
The family relied on false docu-
ments in an attempt to escape to
Italy. Levy and her brother attempt-
ed to get into the country rst but
were arrested. After 12 days in jail,
the siblings were freed. Two months
later, while in Italy, the family was
again taken by Italian agents on a
train for one and a half days to the
southern part of the country to a
concentration camp. Those staying
at the camp quickly approached
Levy and said the situation wasnt
that bad. She stayed there for 18
months before U.S. soldiers came to
free the area.
In late 1943 or early 1944, Levy
said they were relocated to empty
villas. Through word of mouth, she
learned that President Franklin D.
Roosevelt would allow refugees to
travel to the United States if they
promised to return after the war was
over. A 15-day boat trip later, there
was crying and song when travelers
saw the Statue of Liberty. Levy
spent one and a half years at an old
Army barracks in upstate New York.
At the wars end in 1945,
President Harry S. Truman signed a
law to allow the refugees to stay. It
was the rst step for Levy to becom-
ing a naturalized citizen. She even-
tually spent 28 years in San Mateo
before moving to Palo Alto.
Its important for the younger
generation to know that part of his-
tory, to hear rst hand from a sur-
vivor, said Levy. Im hoping they
will remember the stories; how cruel
the world is and look for peace.

aries (March 21-April 19) -- It isnt likely that youll
tolerate anything that inhibits your mobility and
independence. Loose chitchat poses a distraction
you will fnd especially annoying.
TaUrUs (April 20-May 20) -- Youll be more self-

you achieving all of your objectives today look to be
pretty good, as long as you make a game plan frst
and dont try to alter them along the way.

some of your associates might be keener than
yours. Just because you fail to see as they do, dont

resents a solid start toward the goal, accord-
ing to Walters report.
That alternative lets the city, among other
things, fund approximately $5 million of the
highest-priority master plan projects within the
next ve years without issuing new debt. The
plan identies at least $20 million worth of
projects needed over the next 10 years.
Current monthly sewer charges of $53.10 are
slightly below the $57.88 median of 23 region-
al agencies surveyed. In the rst year of the rec-
ommended adjustment, the monthly rate would
increase to $67.29 followed by $80.75 and
$88.82 in years two and three. The 15 percent
option would increase to $61.91 in the rst year
and the 12 percent option to $60.29.
On Monday, the council will consider author-
izing a public hearing May 28 on the chosen
increase. If 50 percent of ratepayers submit
written protests by the close of the hearing, the
city cannot implement the increases. If
approved, the rates increased will take effect
July 1 of each year beginning this year.
Walter also asks the City Council to look at
changing the way hotels are charged for sewer
service. San Carlos currently charges based on
the number of rooms rather than volumetric
rates and metered water use. The change would
decrease sewer charges for hotels by about 45
percent.
The city could also adopt a new moderate
strength commercial class for commercial users
whose volume is higher than that of a standard
customer but lower than those in the high
strength category like restaurants. The city
would gain about $20,000 by also changing the
minimum annual charge to standard strength
commercial customers. The charge would drop
from 100 percent to 75 percent of the residen-
tial rate but be applied consistently to all non-
residential accounts.
The San Carlos City Council meets 7 p.m.
Monday, April 8 at City Hall, 600 Elm St., San
Carlos. Written protests must be sent in a
sealed envelope to Sewer Rates, City Clerk,
City of San Carlos, 600 Elm St., San Carlos,
CA 94070. Protests must identify the property
by street address or assessors parcel number,
identify the property owner(s) and be signed by
one of the current property owners. For further
questions, contact Public Works at 802-4204.

ferent ways, making it difcult to compare
the efforts.
Its so broadly dened, its extremely
hard to actually measure precisely how much
community benet or lack thereof the hospi-
tals are putting back in the community, said
Bonnie Castillo, legislative director for the
nurses union. The California Labor
Federation, the California Teamsters Public
Affairs Council and the California Domestic
Workers Coalition also support the bill.
The organization representing hospitals in
the state says its unfair to look solely at a
hospitals costs and revenue because a wider
margin in a given year might be needed to
cover updates to a facility or subsidize a
struggling clinic under the same ownership.
If hospitals with a wider gap between rev-
enue and expenditures have their nonprot
status revoked, some might look at reducing
or eliminating community services such as
adult day-care centers so they can cover their
new tax bills, said Jan Emerson-Shea, a
spokeswoman for the California Hospital
Association.
Its not just about revenues and expendi-
tures, Emerson-Shea said. Its about what
theyre doing to serve these communities.
She also noted that hospitals le annual
reports describing the benets they provide
to communities.
Assemblyman Rob Bonta, an Oakland
Democrat, is carrying the bill with
Democratic Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski
of Fremont. Bonta said a hospital would
have a chance to explain its excess revenues
before the organizations nonprot status and
accompanying tax benets would disappear.
They just have to explain why its OK and
show it, he said. If its not OK and theyre
giving it in the form of bonuses, this would
make sure that we know it.
Bonta and other supporters point to sever-
al state auditor reports issued since 2007 that
highlighted discrepancies in what nonprot
hospitals currently disclose as charity care.
Last years report found that out of 218
nonprot hospitals required in 2010 to report
on their charitable work, 15 did not submit
any documents. The state auditor recom-
mended that lawmakers clarify what consti-
tutes charity care and set a standard amount
if that work determines whether a hospital
can be a nonprot.
