Assembly Bill 524, authored by
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South San
Francisco, protects immigrants from

Neither a ferry terminal at the county
pier in Foster City nor an ice rink for the
land around the pier are ever likely to be
a reality for the citys new Werder Park,
according to a consultants report the
Parks and Recreation Committee will
consider tonight.
The city purchased the land from the
county last year and has been asking the
public to comment on what it wants to
see at both Werder and Destination
parks.
An ice rink is inconsistent with the
anticipated use for the property as
expressed in the purchase agreement
with the county, according to a consul-
tants report.
The land is too environmentally sensi-
tive for high-intensity use and could take
years to develop a rink or other similar
use, according to the consultants report.
A ferry terminal is also unlikely as the
city does not own the pier adjacent to
State Route 92 and the City Council has
previously indicated the land was pur-
chased to develop as a park.
The existing pier is also beyond repair
and would require replacement and per-
mitting for a new pier and dredging
would be extremely difcult, accord-
ing to the consultants report.
Just planning for a ferry terminal
could take years while a park could be
built in a fraction of the time, according
to the consultants report.
Foster City officials weigh future uses for open space

The sale of the Burlingame Main Post Ofce,located at 220 Park Road,was approved by postal ofcials in February 2012.Since
then, the U.S. Postal Service has been researching the property before putting it on the market.
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Most of the Burlingame City Council
wants the sale of the downtown post
ofce to be free of federal historical
preservation requirements that can tie
local control with the exception of
Councilwoman Cathy Baylock, who dis-
agreed.
During its meeting Monday, the coun-
cil voted 4-1 to send a letter to the U.S.
Postal Service requesting that preserva-
tion covenants not be added as a require-
ment of sale for the property at 220 Park
Road. Doing so, the majority said,
would tie local control and the historical
considerations would
be covered under the
C a l i f o r n i a
E n v i r o n me n t a l
Quality Act.
Baylock, on the other
hand, said the prac-
tice is customary and
could act as an extra
form of protection
for a historical aspect
of Burlingames downtown.
Support for the preservation
covenants would signal to potential
developers that the city values this his-
toric building and holds an interest in
seeing it restored and embellished as a
landmark and touchstone for our com-
munity. We have one of the few histori-
cally signicant and intact post ofce
buildings in San Mateo County if not the
state of California. Future generations
will value this buildings importance and
relevance to our towns and nations his-
tory, said Baylock, who was the lone no
vote.
The sale of the Burlingame Main Post
Ofce, located at 220 Park Road, was
approved by postal ofcials in February
2012. Since then, the U.S. Postal Service
has been researching the property before
putting it on the market. City ofcials
City seeks more control on post office plan
Burlingame council seeks fewer historical restrictions, councilwoman disagrees

The singer and musician known as
Prince was named Prince Rogers
Nelson when he was born in 1958 in
Minneapolis, Minn. The small singer
(he stands 5 feet 2 inches high) is pri-
marily known for his big hit songs in
the 1980s, including 1999 (1982),
When Doves Cry (1984) and
Raspberry Beret (1985).

The name of the prince in the Disney
movie Cinderella (1950) was Prince
Charming.
***
The prince in the 1937 Disney movie
Snow White had a minor role and
was never referred to by name.
***
In the 1812 fairy tale Little Snow
White, by the Brothers Grimm, a
daughter was born that was as white
as snow, as red as blood and as black as
ebony wood, so she was named Snow
White.

About one in every 17,000 people has
Albinism. Their bodies do not produce
melanin. Albinos have little or no pig-
ment in their skin and hair.
***
People with albinism always have
vision problems, because of abnormal
development of the retina.
***
The Latin prefix for the word white is
alba. The word albedo refers to the per-
centage of light an object reflects. A
perfectly white reflecting surface has
an albedo of 1.0, a black absorbing sur-
face has an albedo of 0.0.
***
The color white is made up of all col-
ors. Clouds are made up of water
droplets and ice crystals. The water
and ice reflect all colors equally. The
colors combined make clouds appear
white.

The Weather Channel debuted in 1982
and was available in 9 million homes.
Today, The Weather Channel reaches

enabled them to gather all of the
National Weather Services local data
into their headquarters in Atlanta, Ga.
With this development, The Weather
Channel could send localized weather
reports and forecasts to cable stations
within minutes.

Answer: They are all types of clouds.
There are four basic cloud classifica-
tions: stratus, cumulus, cirrus and
nimbus. Stratus clouds are horizontal,
layered clouds. Cumulus clouds are
large and puffy. Cirrus clouds are thin
and an altitude above 20,000 feet.
Nimbus clouds are rain clouds. The
words for the four basic cloud descrip-
tions can be combined to describe
every type of cloud. Luke Howard
(1772-1864), an English chemist and
pharmacist, established the cloud clas-
sifications in 1803.

A San Mateo martial arts studio knowingly
put its young, female students at risk by
allowing an instructor accused of inappropri-
ately touching one girl to continue working,
according to a lawsuit led on behalf of a sec-
ond alleged victim.
The girl, named Jane Doe in the suit, and
her guardian claim that Tat Mau Wong and his
company the Tat Wong Kung Fu Academy
directly led to Meng Ricky Wong sexually
abusing her in October 2011 because he
remained employed despite an earlier allega-
tion. Tat Wong and the company also failed to
alert students and their parents of the danger
or take reasonable steps to prevent contact
between Wong and minor female students, the
suit states.
Meng Ricky Wong, 36, is currently charged
with four felony counts of molestation stem-
ming from two female students, both of whom
have now led suit. He faces life in prison if
convicted of abusing multiple victims and is
due back in court April 4 to enter a Superior
Court plea and possibly set a trial date.
Meanwhile, he remains free on $100,000 bail.
Meng Ricky Wong
worked at the Tat Wong
Kung Fu Academy on
43rd Avenue between
1999 and 2011.
Prosecutors say he fondled
the two girls, then ages 9
and 11, at different times
between August 2010 and
October 2011. The girls
do not know each other
but are very similar in age
and appearance, according to San Mateo
police.
In the rst instance, Meng Ricky Wong
allegedly took the 11-year-old girl upstairs at
the studio and touched her breasts and but-
tocks. The girl reported the incident but the
lack of corroboration led to no prosecution
and Wong continued teaching.
In October 2011, the second girl reported
an identical touching incident upstairs at the
studio.
Last August, the rst girl sued Meng Ricky
Wong, Tat Mau Wong and the academy for
carelessly and negligently failing to estab-
lish appropriate guidelines for interacting and
teaching minors. The second suit, led in
March, seeks similar damages for negligence,
sexual battery and willful misconduct among
other allegations. The suit claims Wong and
the company breached their duty of care to the
minors after receiving information about the
rst alleged incident because it was proba-
ble without intervention another minor
female student would be similarly touched
inappropriately.
Instead, the suit claims, the company
engaged in a cover-up scheme to protect their
prots and reputation.
In a response to the rst suit, Tat Wong and
his parent company denied all allegations,
claimed the girl herself was negligent and said
any injuries or damages were the result of
another party.
Meng Ricky Wong is also trying to get the
allegations of sexual battery and negligent
iniction of emotional distress dismissed by
the court. The suit doesnt explain what the
alleged touching consisted of or that it was
sexual in nature, according to the court docu-
ment. A hearing is set for April 15.

The Burlingame man accused of fatally
bludgeoning his roommate and leaving the
body with an air freshener while he escaped to
Southern California began trial on murder
charges yesterday.
During a preliminary hearing for Lawrence
Arthur Hoffman, 65, a friend testied that he
snapped and attacked Joseph Cosentino,
70, after weeks of harassment. The defense at
trial will also include claims of post-traumat-
ic stress disorder, according to the prosecu-
tion.
Cosentino, 70, died Dec. 5, 2011 from mul-
tiple blows to the head with likely either a
club or mallet. Authorities found him face
down and covered with blankets inside the
apartment on Dec. 8, 2011 after being direct-
ed there by Hoffman. Hoffman had ed to
Southern California after
speaking with his friend,
who then alerted
Burlingame police that his
friend may have killed his
roommate. Authorities
traced Hoffman to a
Glendale hotel room and
he guided them back to his
Garden Drive apartment
and Cosentinos body.
Hoffman had moved in
with Cosentino in August 2011 after meeting
at the CVS/pharmacy and the neighboring
American Bull Bar and Grill in Burlingame.
During the preliminary hearing, Hoffmans
friend testied that he claimed to have killed
Cosentino after ongoing belittling, including
comments about his wife and daughter.
The case was assigned on Monday to Judge
Jack Grandsaert and attorneys spent the day
wading through motions. Jury selection
begins Wednesday, April 10 and the trial is
estimated to last four to six weeks.
Hoffman remains in custody without bail.

Woman accused of torching
ex-boyfriends bedcommitted
A Redwood City woman accused of slipping into an ex-
boyfriends home and torching his bed while he slept last year
was formally committed to a state mental facility for treatment
after being found incompetent to stand trial.
Two of three court-appointed doctors
found Jacqueline Alexandra Rivera, 18,
unable to aid in her own defense against
charges of attempted murder, arson and res-
idential burglary. After agreeing to be med-
icated if necessary, Rivera was ordered com-
mitted to California Psychiatric Transitions
in Delhi, Calif. near Turlock. A court hearing
was scheduled for May 15 to verify she has
been transported.
Competency is a persons mental ability
for trial while sanity is his or her condition
at the time of an alleged crime. Rivera will be placed in a state
mental facility and treated until, if ever, she is declared compe-
tent and able to aid in her own defense.
Prosecutors alleged around 3 a.m. April 26, 2012, Rivera
knocked on the rst-oor bedroom window of the San Mateo
home where her 21-year-old boyfriend lived with his parents and
sister. She reportedly asked to talk about their relationship, was
denied and returned with the same request an hour later. After she
left the second time, the man went to bed but told authorities he
awoke around 5:45 a.m. to nd his mattress on re. He screamed
for his father who put out the ames with a garden hose. The vic-
tim later told authorities he did not immediately alert police or
reghters because he believed Rivera was responsible but did-
nt think he could prove it. Two weeks later, the man said he
received a text message from a woman, later identied as
Riveras friend, who told him the defendant was responsible for
the re and had made several comments about plans to hurt him.

More than $7,500 has been donated toward
the effort to help Sams Italian Sandwich Co.
in Burlingame stay open after about two
weeks of fundraising.
Costs for improving the site its called home
since 2005, at 1080 Howard Ave., coupled
with chain stores moving to the area have cre-
ated a challenging environment for the local-
ly-owned shop. In March, an online effort to
help the mom-and-pop shop was launched
with the goal of raising $10,000. The money
will help get owners Rino Betti and June
Williams ahead of the curve.
Its truly incredible, said Betti. I am
blessed knowing that so many people from the
community have donated. I guess little old
Sams Sandwiches made a difference to a lot
of people over the years.
So far, more than 80 individual donors have
contributed to the cause, said former council-
man Russ Cohen, who is co-chairing the
effort with Councilwoman Cathy Baylock.
Donors represent six states, proving that
Sams has touched the lives of people from
Burlingame and beyond, said Baylock.
Both said the goal is in sight.
The city of Burlingame has also offered
support. Last month, the City Council altered
its lease with Sams to help keep the beloved
shop open. The proposal lowers the monthly
rent to $1,700 per month for an annual reduc-
tion in rent of $6,563.52. It also calls for the
city to use the $4,000 security deposit to pay
delinquent rent and allow the tenant to pay
$100 installments toward a new deposit of
$2,000, according to the contract.
Sams Italian Sandwich Company, original-
ly located at 297 California Drive in
Burlingame, opened in 1972. The idea was
inspired by a deli called Freddies in San
Franciscos North Beach. At 22, along with
his friend Rich Vento, who would be his part-
ner during the rst ve years of Sams, the
business was born. Theres never been a Sam
tied to Sams. It was a name the guys liked.
Things started simply in the space previously
used as a cabbie dispatch ofce. Four sand-
wiches were available. It was 75 cents for a
medium and $1.10 for a large. In the 90s the
menu expanded to five items, including
turkey.
Due to the small space of the shop, the
menu had only ve sandwiches on it until the
move in 2005.
Rising rents moved the locally-loved sand-
wich shop slightly down the road to the city-
owned former Greyhound bus depot at the
intersection of Howard Drive, California
Drive and Highland Avenue. Moving gave
Betti the option to expand the menu to include
hot sandwiches, hot dogs, soup and chili.

Fourteen businesses sold tobacco to minors
during a North County sting operation involv-
ing the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce and
ofcers from San Bruno, South San Francisco
and Daly City.
From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. March 30, a decoy
operation was held in four cities Millbrae,
San Bruno, South San Francisco and Daly
City. The operation used minors as decoys and
targeted tobacco sales outlets. Attempts to
purchase tobacco with minor decoys were
made at 161 merchants and 14 citations were
issued for the sale of a tobacco product to a
minor.
In Millbrae, three out of the 16 merchants
sold to the decoy. Businesses that sold to
decoys include: Walgreens, 45 S. El Camino
Real; Walgreens, 615 Broadway; and Skyline
Chevron Station, 400 Skyline Blvd.
In San Bruno, only one of the 37 merchants
Gas and Shop at 2001 Rollingwood Drive
sold to the decoy.
Five of the 45 merchants in South San
Francisco sold to the decoy. Those businesses
include: Jailhouse Deli & Liquors & Bait &
Tackle, 1051 Airport Blvd.; Brentwood
Service Station, 209 El Camino Real; Shell
Gas Station, 710 El Camino Real; Valero Gas
Station, 2296 Westborough Blvd.; and Valero
Gas Station, 300 S. Airport Blvd.
In Daly City, ve of the 63 merchants sold
tobacco to the decoy.
Funds for the operation were provided by
grant money from the San Mateo County
Health System. Statistics indicated that at
least 99 percent of the merchants checked
asked the decoy for identication, according
to a press release from the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Ofce.

Bay Bridge fix cost
estimate: About $1 million
SAN FRANCISCO The x for the near-
ly three dozen steel rods that broke on the new
eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland
Bay Bridge will cost about $1 million, accord-
ing to a state transportation ofcial.
Tony Anziano, a California Department of
Transportation toll bridge program manager,
provided the estimate. The bridges planned
Labor Day opening is not expected to be
delayed.
The rods that snapped last month after they
were tightened connect steel earthquake safety
devices called shear keys to the bridges deck
and a large concrete cap.
At least some of the failed rods are located
beneath that cap and cannot easily be replaced.
Crews instead will have to create two metal
collars that will provide room for new rods to
be inserted, Anziano said.
The bridge, which is replacing the span dam-
aged during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake,
is designed to withstand a major temblor.
Tests have discovered hydrogen in some of
the damaged steel rods, which is an indication
of weakness in the metal.
Anziano said Caltrans is conducting a com-
plete review of the fabrication and supply
process for the bolts.

SACRAMENTO As California endures
one of its driest winters, on record, some state
water managers are focused on the opposite
end of the precipitation spectrum the one in
ve residents who live in regions susceptible
to catastrophic ooding.
More than $575 billion in development and
$7 billion in farm output rests on or around

The price tag for capital improvements that
would be needed to protect the states infra-

$100 billion, the report warns, which is 10
times more than exists in funding from bond
measures and other sources to shore up aging
levies and dams.
Already 800 ood projects have been iden-
tied.
We realized that even those projects will
not even provide the basic level of ood pro-
tection from 100-year and 500-year oods
statewide, said Terri Wegener, manager of the

MILLBRAE Our
countrys economic
roller-coaster ride
has been interesting
and historic for
sure, but also very
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
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Tuesday night
farmers market canceled
Redwood Citys Tuesday night
farmers market is being shelved
for at least the next two seasons
while the city completes the down-
town construction projects that
have tied up traffic and parking and
closed streets.
The city and the Rotary Club
tried finding an alternative site for
the market which was located on
two streets adjacent to Courthouse
Square but couldnt find a spot that
met both groups needs. Instead,
they agreed to disband the market
which otherwise would have start-
ed its season in May.
While we were not able to
identify a suitable new location
and deeply regret not being able to
continue with our Rotary Farmers
Market, we truly appreciate the
citys perspective in the need for an
alternate site, and well continue to
support downtown Redwood City
and the community, said Lilia
Ledesma, Rotary Club president,
in a prepared statement.
City Manager Bob Bell also
expressed gratitude for its partner-
ship with Rotary and hope for fur-
ther efforts.
The market launched last year to
coincide with the citys Dancing

Sticker program three years ago to encourage Californians to switch to
more environmentally conscious vehicles. The bill extends the program
an additional three years, which would allow plug-in hybrids and hydro-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The Senate
gun control debate on the near hori-
zon, a National Rie Association-
sponsored report on Tuesday pro-
posed a program for schools to train
selected staffers as armed security
officers. The former Republican
congressman who headed the study
suggested at least one protector with
rearms for every school, saying it
would speed responses to attacks.
The reports release served as the
gun-rights groups answer to
improving school safety after the
gruesome December slayings of 20
first-graders and six adults at a
Newtown, Conn., elementary
school. And it showed the organiza-
tion giving little ground in its ght
with President Barack Obama over
curbing rearms.
Obamas chief proposals include
broader background checks for gun
buyers and bans on assault weapons
and high-capacity ammunition
magazines both of which the
NRA opposes.
The study unveiled at a news
conference watched over by several
burly, NRA-provided guards
made eight recommendations,
including easing state laws that
might bar a trained school staff
member from carrying rearms and
improving school coordination with
law enforcement agencies. But
drawing the most attention was its
suggested 40- to 60-hour training
for school employees who pass
background checks to also provide
armed protection while at work.
The presence of an armed secu-
rity personnel in a school adds a
layer of security and diminishes the
response time that is benecial to
the overall security, said Asa
Hutchinson, a GOP former con-
gressman from Arkansas who
directed the study.
Asked whether every school
would be better off with an armed
security ofcer, Hutchinson replied,
Yes, but acknowledged the deci-
sion would be made locally.
It is unusual for guards to provide
security at events that lack a major
public gure at the National Press
Club, which houses offices for
many news organizations. NRA
spokesman Andrew Arulanandam
said he did not know whether the
guards were armed, and several
guards declined to say if they were.
Hutchinson said school security
could be provided by trained staff
members or school resource ofcers
police officers assigned to
schools that some districts already
have.

Customers packed gun stores

sweeping changes to the states gun
control laws, including a ban on the
sale of large-capacity ammunition

Newtown shooting and a new classi-
cation for more than 100 types of
guns as banned assault weapons.
Lawmakers have touted the legis-
lation expected to pass the General
Assembly on Wednesday as the
toughest in the country. Some meas-
ures would take effect right away,
including the expansion of the
states assault weapons ban, univer-
sal background checks for all
rearms sales, and a ban on the sale
or purchase of ammunition maga-
zines holding more than 10 rounds.

UNITED NATIONS The U.N.
General Assembly overwhelmingly
approved the rst international treaty
regulating the multibillion-dollar global
arms trade Tuesday, after a more than
decade-long campaign to keep weapons
from falling into the hands of terrorists,
warlords, organized crime gures and
human rights violators.
Loud cheers erupted in the assembly
chamber as the electronic board ashed
the nal vote: 154 in favor, 3 against and
23 abstentions.
This is a victory for the worlds peo-
ple, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-
moon said. The Arms Trade Treaty will
make it more difficult for deadly
weapons to be diverted into the illicit
market. ... It will be a powerful new tool
in our efforts to prevent grave human
rights abuses or violations of interna-
tional humanitarian law.
The United States, the worlds biggest
arms exporter, voted yes.
Iran, North Korea and Syria all fac-
ing arms embargoes cast the only no
votes. They argued, among other things,
that the agreement favors major arms
suppliers like the U.S. over importers
that need weapons for self-defense.
Russia and China, which are also
major arms exporters, abstained along
with India and Indonesia, while nuclear-
armed Pakistan voted in favor. Many
Arab countries, including Egypt, Saudi
Arabia, Sudan and Qatar, abstained,
while Lebanon voted yes.
Never before has there been a treaty
regulating the global arms trade, which
is estimated to be worth $60 billion
today and which Amnesty International
predicts will exceed $100 billion in the
next four years.
Todays victory shows that ordinary
people who care about protecting human
rights can ght back to stop the gun
lobby dead in its tracks, helping to save
countless lives, said Frank Jannuzi,
deputy executive director of Amnesty
International USA.
The voices of reason triumphed over
skeptics, treaty opponents and dealers in
death to establish a revolutionary treaty
that constitutes a major step toward
keeping assault ries, rocket-propelled
grenades and other weapons out of the
hands of despots and warlords who use
them to kill and maim civilians, recruit
child soldiers and commit other serious
abuses.
What impact the treaty will actually
have remains to be seen. It will take
effect 90 days after 50 countries ratify it,
and a lot will depend on which ones rat-
ify and which ones dont, and how strin-
gently it is implemented.
As for its chances of being ratied by
the U.S., the powerful National Rie
Association has vehemently opposed it,
and it is likely to face stiff resistance
from conservatives in the Senate, where
it needs two-thirds to win ratication.

WASHINGTON Millions of peo-
ple who take advantage of government
subsidies to help buy health insurance
next year could get stung by surprise tax
bills if they dont accurately project their
income.
President Barack Obamas new health
care law will offer subsidies to help peo-
ple buy private health insurance on state-
based exchanges, if they dont already
get coverage through their employers.
The subsidies are based on income. The
lower your income, the bigger the sub-
sidy.
But the government doesnt know how
much money youre going to make next
year. And when you apply for the sub-
sidy, this fall, it wont even know how
much youre making this year. So,
unless you tell the government other-
wise, it will rely on the best information
it has: your 2012 tax return, led this
spring.
What happens if you or your spouse
gets a raise and your family income goes
up in 2014? You could end up with a big-
ger subsidy than you are entitled to. If
that happens, the law says you have to
pay back at least part of the money when
you le your tax return in the spring of
2015.
That could result in smaller tax
refunds or surprise tax bills for millions
of middle-income families.
Thats scary, says Joan Baird of
Springeld, Va. I had no idea, and I
work in health care.
Baird, a health care information man-
agement worker, is far from alone.
Health care providers, advocates and tax
experts say the vast majority of
Americans know very little about the
new health care law, let alone the kind of
detailed information many will need to
navigate its system of subsidies and
penalties.
They know its out there, said Mark
Cummings, who manages the H&R
Block ofce where Baird was getting her
own taxes done. But in general, they
dont know anything about it.

North Korea vows to
restart shuttered plutonium reactor
SEOUL, South Korea North Korea said it will restart its
long-shuttered plutonium reactor and increase production of
nuclear weapons material, in what outsiders see as its latest
attempt to extract U.S. concessions by raising fears of war.
A spokesman for the Norths General Department of Atomic
Energy said scientists will quickly begin readjusting and
restarting the facilities at its main Nyongbyon nuclear com-
plex, including the plutonium reactor and a uranium enrich-
ment plant. Both could produce fuel for nuclear weapons.
The reactor began operations in 1986 but was shut down as
part of international nuclear disarmament talks in 2007 that
have since stalled. North Korea said Tuesday that work to
restart the facilities would begin without delay. Experts esti-
mate reactivating the reactor could take anywhere from three
months to a year.

Marriage equality
Editor,
I am a left winger. I am a Libertarian.
I am a voter. I am free. I am brave. I
am religious. I am a Lutheran. And I
support our Second Amendment. I am
equal to all men and women, as God
created them. I do have the basic
human right to life, love and the pursuit
of happiness. This country says I do,
the Bible says I do.
But wait, we must be rational. News
ash, this just in: the separation of
church and state. Ever heard of it?
Guess what? I have the right to be gov-
erned under this philosophy. My coun-
try, of which I am a legal citizen, says
so in our Constitution. Last time I
checked, (May 5, 2012, when I was
married) it is government law that a
couple obtain a marriage license
from whichever state they are married.
A function by said state. Such a license
is obtained through a state employed
entity.There is no God or Bible
involved in this process. Period. It is a
function of our government, for tax
purposes.
What marriage means to to you or I
may be different. But the fact of the
matter is, marriage is an institution of
the U.S. government. So, if we truly
stand for the words on the Constitution
written more than 200 years ago, these
basic rights cannot be denied unto any,
unless denied to us all. I believe in my
right to life, love and, most importantly,
the pursuit of happiness. So get over it.
We should not have the right to vote for
discrimination. May God damn me, or
anyone else that may stand between my
own or your pursuit of happiness. Its
not OK to deny others their freedom
because you dont agree with their
choices.

Letter to the editor
T
here are always some stories
written about in the Daily
Journal that have a life of their
own and have an overall positive mes-
sage despite what seems like conict.
One such story is that of the Klaiber
family in the Shoreview neighborhood
of San Mateo. Just Monday, the city of
San Mateo had dump trucks sent out to
their home to clear it of debris. And yet
they ended up leaving the property
without loading a single item. It is quite
a remarkable turnaround for the proper-
ty that just months ago was subject to a
court order to clear up code enforce-
ment violations dating back to 1995.
With the city ramping up its efforts to
clear the property of debris, the
Klaibers responded and were able to
comply. They did it on their own, but
also with support of others who learned
of the situation through the media.
Nearly every word people have said
about the Klaibers has been positive
and many point to Marks work ethic
and community involvement. A letter
writer to the Daily Journal even pointed
out that, as a Little League coach, Mark
was fair to all, taught strong baseball
skills and good sportmanship. The letter
writer also reported that he rebuilt,
rewired and replumbed the snack shack.
Neighbors also showed their support of
the family and friends pointed to his
strong work ethic, good nature and
community spirit.
It is a testament to the Klaibers and
those who provided assistance that they
were able to meet the city deadline and
clear the house of debris. But there is
still work ahead and the city and the
family will work together to discuss
compliance issues ahead of a May 29
status conference on a permanent
injunction the city is seeking to ensure
interior work is completed.
Most everyone goes through rough
patches in which they may be in a little
over their heads. And just because
someone is the subject of news stories
about the condition of their home does-
nt make them bad people. In the case
of the Klaibers, there is strong evidence
of quite the opposite and that they just
needed a helping hand.
The city, however, should not be
painted as the bad guy in this situation.
These were long-standing code viola-
tions that needed remedy and it is the
citys responsibility to ensure the safety
of homes in all neighborhoods while
ensuring the safety of the neighborhood
as a whole. But it is encouraging that
the family was able to meet this partic-
ular deadline and will be able to remain
in their home, while working to remedy
all the citys concerns. This one might
have a happy ending after all, and may
prove that sometimes a little communi-
ty spirit and support can help good peo-
ple get through tough times.

Breaks.
Though weve enjoyed
first birthdays (and many to
follow) with seven grand-
children before the first
birthday party of our little
great-granddaughter on
March 30, I never fail to
marvel at the miracle that
these little ones represent.
As they grow and develop
and amaze us with how they
follow the expected pattern,
but also demonstrate their
unique individuality, you
cant help but be in awe of
them. Having access to babies and/or small children has a
way of bringing out the humanity in us generating a bit
of humility and an appreciation of how important it is for
us to take our minds off of ourselves and treasure the won-
ders of childhood and to bring about the poignant realiza-
tion of the potential for a life of fulfillment or despair.
Unfortunately, when thinking about the little ones, some
disquieting thoughts have come to mind.
Savannah has been born into relative stability and pros-
perity. Her physical, emotional and spiritual needs have a
good chance of being met if things stay the same. But
you cant help but wonder what kind of future is in store
for such precious, budding human beings. Will these
babies be able to find their place in this world where they
will be able to lead reasonably rewarding and productive
lives?
The reason I ask is because unless we, as a nation, make
some drastic changes in our priorities like valuing the
quality of human life more than technological innovation
or the corporate bottom line or instant personal gratifica-
tion, their chances of enjoying a healthy and fulfilling
lives are seriously threatened. When you think of what
faces them down the line, the potential for disaster comes
from many directions. If, eventually, our children arent
inundated by garbage, poisoned by pesticides or other
chemicals in their food and other toxic pollutants in the
environment, assaulted by deranged people, doomed to
poverty and hunger because of overpopulation and eco-
nomic collapse because of the demise of The Great
American Dream, it will be a miracle.
Our culture is not adequately responsive to the needs of
our children. When you check out our high infant mortali-
ty rate, the number of homeless and hungry children, the
increasing education deficiencies, the rate of abuse, the
difficulty for parents who really need it to find quality
child care (all much greater than in other developed coun-
tries), the problem is obvious. We seem to have the idea
that children can suffer considerable neglect and abuse and
grow up to be healthy and happy productive members of
society.
We Americans like to think we have a greater regard
and show a greater responsibility for the needs of our chil-
dren than most other societies. In fact, however, the very
nature of current American life fast paced and frequent-
ly changing causes our failure both to recognize and to
meet the most important needs of our children. Joseph
Rosner, Ph.D., Myths of Childrearing.
For children to grow up into adults capable of loving
themselves and others, able to bond in mutually caring
relationships and sensitive to but not overwhelmed by the
needs of others, they need to master each childhood stage
of development. When this need is not met, when they are
not allowed to be children throughout their childhood
years, they are likely to spend their lives trying to compen-
sate in any of a number of self-destructive and anti-social
ways.
Todays babies, especially, will need as much love and
support from those close to them as they can get so they
can develop the personal fortitude to cope with impending
environmental, human and spiritual threats that we can
only imagine.
Savannah is such a delight! We cant help but be in awe
of her innocence and curiosity and the miracle of her exis-
tence as we were with our seven grandchildren when they
were very young (and still do). And, as with the others,
well do what we can to help with that love and support.
What is sacred about childhood is that it is the begin-
ning, the essence of human life, the potential and the
promise of individual uniqueness, which we cannot predict
and which we therefore must not try to harness for if
we do, we restrict the possibilities. Eda LeShan,

Editorial
The Joplin (Mo.) Globe
C
all it cliff fatigue or a
bipartisan awakening.
Somehow, someway, 535
members of the 113th Congress have
managed to keep the federal govern-
ment running through the end of this
scal year without putting the nation
through yet another round of political
brinkmanship.
Granted, its just a continuing res-
olution that avoids any of the hard
and real decisions still looming on
the horizon and allows an annual
deficit larger than all federal spend-
ing combined in that long ago year of
1984, but one island of refuge in this
sea of partisanship were currently
adrift in is better than none.
The dreaded sequester, however, is
left in place. While the Pentagon gets
some new exibility to manage cuts,
the White House will remain closed to
public tours. Vacationing Americans
will nd national parks closed or scaled
back as the cuts are made as public and
painful as possible.
Network and cable news channel pro-
ducers are already lining up their eye-
witness-to-pain stories to show the per-
sonal side of arbitrary budget cutting,
while supporters of government every-
where are practicing how many times
they can insert the words fair, bal-
anced, smart and dumb into a 3-
minute television segment.
The coming drama aside, the fact
remains that, for now, one crisis has
been averted and your federal govern-
ment albeit a sequestered one
is funded through September.
But dont get too comfortable. By
mid-May we once again bump up
against that villainous debt ceiling. In
his weekly press conference, House
Speaker John Boehner let it be known
that the plan is to extract dollar-for-dol-
lar spending cuts for every dollar of
additional debt.
So, if March Madness didnt quite go
your way this year, dont feel too bad.
Mayhem in May is just around the cor-
ner, and its going to be a doozy.

Big movers
By Daniel Wagner
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed at a record high Tuesday after
reports on auto sales and factory orders
provided the latest evidence that the U.S.
economy is strengthening. Traders
plowed money back into European stocks
as the financial situation in Cyprus
appeared to stabilize.
Health insurers powered the gains a
day after the government released revised
reimbursement rates for Medicare
Advantage plans. The new numbers sug-
gest that funding cuts will be less severe
than analysts and companies had feared.
The Dow closed up 89.16 points, or 0.6
percent, at 14,662.01. It had risen as high
as 14,684 in the late morning.
The Dow broke through an all-time
record on March 5. It has risen steadily
since then, routinely setting new trading
highs.
The Standard & Poors 500 index rose
8.08 points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,570.25. It
rose to within two points of its trading
high of 1,576 reached on Oct. 11, 2007.
European markets closed sharply high-
er on the rst trading day after a tense,
four-day holiday weekend. Paris CAC-
40 rose 2 percent, Londons FTSE 100
1.2 percent and Frankfurts DAX 1.9 per-
cent.
The gains in Europe markets boosted
condence among U.S. investors. While
European markets were closed for four
days for the Easter holiday, many traders
feared that Cyprus precarious nancial
situation would worsen. That concern
also weighed on U.S. markets Monday,
said Peter Tchir, who runs the hedge fund
TF Market Advisors.
But no bad news materialized. Instead,
Cyprus international lenders agreed to
extend until 2018 its deadline for meeting
key budget targets. European markets
opened higher and rose strongly after
U.S. trading began Tuesday. The gains
fed a virtuous cycle that sent stocks high-
er on both sides of the Atlantic, Tchir
said.
Everyone was waiting to see if Europe
had problems from Cyprus, he said.
Instead, we got the all-clear signal.
The trading day began with solid
March sales reports from U.S. automak-
ers. Chrysler said it sold more cars and
trucks than in any month since the Great
Recession began, an increase of 5 per-
cent. Sales for General Motors and Ford
rose 6 percent.
Orders to U.S. factories rose 3 percent
in February, the best gain in ve months,
the government said after trading began.
The increase was driven by a surge in
demand for commercial aircraft, an espe-
cially volatile category.
Health care stocks rose the most of the
10 sectors in the S&P 500 index, adding
1.4 percent. The sector is up 17.1 percent
this year.
Traders were relieved about the insur-
ers prospects after Mondays news about
Medicare Advantage rates. Preliminary
data released in February had raised fears
that companies offering the plans would
be forced to cut benets, increase cus-
tomers premiums or abandon some mar-
kets. This weeks data suggest that may
not be necessary.
UnitedHealth was the biggest gainer in
the Dow. DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc.
led the S&P 500 higher. Also among the
S&P 500s top 15 gainers were Humana
Inc., Aetna Inc. and Cigna Corp.
UnitedHealth rose $2.77, or 4.7 per-
cent, to $61.74. DaVita rose $7.29, or 6.1
percent, to $127.20. Humana gained
$4.09, or 5.5 percent, to $79.11. Aetna
rose $1.92, or 3.7 percent, to $54.30.
Cigna added $1.84, or 2.9 percent, to
$64.75.
Airline stocks fell sharply after Delta
Air Lines Inc. said a key measure of
revenue was hurt last month by govern-
ment spending cuts, a technical glitch
and attempts to get passengers to pay
more.
Delta fell $1.31, or 8.1 percent, to
$14.94. United Continental Holdings Inc.
lost $1.59, or 5.1 percent, to $29.38. US
Airways Group Inc. fell 93 cents, or 5.6
percent, to $15.74. JetBlue Airways Corp.
dropped 40 cents, or 5.9 percent, to $6.34.
Health insurers lead stocks higher
By Peter Svensson
NEW YORK Goldman Sachs dropped
Apple off its list of most highly recommended
stocks Tuesday as it joined other analysts in
reducing expectations for a company that has-
nt had a revolutionary new product since the
iPad in 2010.
Goldman analyst Bill Shope said the iPhone
5, introduced last fall, hasnt sold as well as he
expected. He said the company now needs
some real hits among the products it rolls out
during the second half of the year in order to
boost the stock price.
Apples stock fell $1.01, or 0.2 percent, to
$427.90 in afternoon trading Tuesday, while
the Nasdaq was up 0.2 percent. Apples stock
price is close to its one-year low of $419, hit a
month ago. Its well off its all-time peak of
$705.07, reached in September on the day the
iPhone 5 went on sale.
Besides taking the company off Goldmans
Americas Conviction List, which it had been
on since December 2010, Shope lowered
Apples price target on the shares to $575,
from $660. But he kept a Buy rating for the
company.
After a heady decade, Apples sales growth
is slowing down.
Goldman takes Apple stock off preferred list

NEW YORK To see what Facebook has
become, look no further than the Hutzler 571
Banana Slicer.
Sometime last year, people began sharing
tongue-in-cheek online reviews of the banana-
shaped piece of yellow plastic with their
Facebook friends. Then those friends shared
with their friends. Soon, after Amazon paid to
promote it, posts featuring the $3.49 utensil
were appearing in even more Facebook feeds.
At some point, though, the joke got old. But
there it was, again and again the banana
slicer had become a Facebook version of that
old knock-knock joke your weird uncle has
been telling for years.
The Hutzler 571 phenomenon is a regular
occurrence on the worlds biggest online social
network, which begs the question: Has
Facebook become less fun?
Thats something many users especially
those in their teens and early 20s are asking
themselves as they wade through endless
posts, photos liked by people they barely
know and spur-of-the moment friend requests.
Has it all become too much of a chore? Are the
important life events of your closest loved ones
drowning in a sea of banana slicer jokes?
Is Facebook losing its edge?
Euro area unemployment at record 12 percent
LONDON The eurozone economy has passed another
bleak milestone.
Official figures Tuesday showed that unemployment
across the 17 European Union countries that use the euro has
struck 12 percent for the rst time since the currency was
launched in 1999.
Eurostat, the EUs statistics office, said the rate in
February was unchanged at the record high after Januarys
gure was revised up to 12 percent from 11.9 percent.
Spain and Greece have mass unemployment and many
other countries are seeing their numbers swell to uncomfort-
ably high levels as governments across the region enact
tough austerity measures to get a handle on their debts.
The eurozone, which is made up of a little more than 330
million people, is one of the worlds major economic pillars
and the turmoil surrounding it has been one of the main rea-
sons why the global recovery has been muted.
A total of 19.07 million people were ofcially out of work
in the eurozone in February, nearly two million more than
the same month the year before.
High-skilled visa requests likely to exceed supply
WASHINGTON The Homeland Security Department
expects applications for high-skilled immigration visas to
outpace the available supply in a matter of days, one of the
fastest runs on the much-sought-after work permits in years
and a sign of continued economic recovery amid new hiring
by U.S. technology companies.
The urgent race for such visas highly desired by
Microsoft, Apple, Google and other leading technology
companies coincides with congressional plans to increase
the number available to tech-savvy foreigners.
The race to secure one of the 85,000 so-called H-1B visas
available for the 2014 budget year started Monday and
requests will be accepted through at least Friday. If petitions
outpace the availability in the rst week, U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services for the rst time since 2008
will use a lottery to pick which companies get visas to award
to prospective employees.

SAN FRANCISCO Free agent corner-
back Nnamdi Asomugha reached agreement
on a one-year contract with the San Francisco
49ers on Tuesday that could pay him as much
as $3 million this year.
Asomughas representative, Ben Dogra,
said that Asomugha is expected to sign his
new deal Wednesday. He was busy taking
high school students
around his native Bay
Area on Tuesday in an
effort to show them their
future options and college
choices.
The contract has no
guaranteed money.
Asomugha is due to earn a
base package of $1.35
million with salary and
bonuses, and could make an additional $1.65
million in incentives for playing time, awards
such as the Pro Bowl and reaching the play-
offs.
Hes excited to be a 49er and feels its a
great football team, and hes returning home,
Dogra said in a phone interview. Its such a
unique set of circumstances that hes coming
back. Its not about the money for him. He
wants to play for a winner. He had a very good
visit with them 10 days ago and again over the
weekend. He thinks they have a great chance
to win a Super Bowl and he wants to be part
of it. He has a chip on his shoulder, in a good
way.
The former All-Pro was released by the
Philadelphia Eagles on March 12 after two
disappointing seasons and now he is ready
to help the 49ers return to the Super Bowl and
win after losing 34-31 to the Ravens on Feb. 3

Scots rough up Sequoia

Carlmonts Jacy Phipps slide safely into third ahead of the throw for a three-run triple. Phipps drove in ve runs in a 10-0 win over Sequoia.

The bad news for the Sequoia softball team:
it has to face Central Coast Section and
Peninsula Athletic League power Carlmont
twice this week. The good news: the
Cherokees will be done with the Scots for the
season after Thursday.
Because of the differences in spring breaks,
most schools are on vacation this week while
Carlmont and Sequoia had their spring break
last week. Tuesday, the Cherokees traveled to
Belmont to face Carlmont for the rst time in
at least 15 years and the results were pre-
dictable: the Scots hit the ball early and often
and closed things out after 4 1/2 innings due
to the 10-run mercy rule, beating the
Cherokees 10-0.
While Carlmont coach Jim Liggett admitted
starting pitcher Rebecca Faulkner wasnt at
her best, the Scots offense picked her up.
They hammered out four runs in the rst, ve
more in the second and reached the 10-run
mark with a single run in the third. The Scots
scored their 10 runs on 12 hits.
Our offense hit well today, Liggett said.
And while Faulkner didnt have no-hit stuff,
she denitely had enough to make 10 runs
stand up.
Its funny to say that (she didnt have her
best stuff), Liggett said. She wasnt throw-
ing as hard as she could.
She was still good enough to run her record
to 10-1 this season and throw her eighth
shutout of the season. She allowed just ve
hits and struck out seven.
Despite the lopsided loss, Sequoia coach
Scott Reynick took some positives from the
game.
The score wont tell the whole story. Im
big on looking at faces and body language and
we looked like we belonged, Reynick said.

College of San Mateo starting pitcher Zac
Grotz admits the rst inning of a baseball
game isnt his favorite you can even call it
a love-hate kind of thing.
Hate, because just like on Tuesday after-
noon against Monterrey Peninsula College,
Grotz has struggled in the
rst inning of some games
this season.
But love, because once
out number three is
recorded, Grotz is usually
nails thus, the first
serves as the gateway to
his success.
Grotz and the Bulldogs
overcame a slow start
Tuesday to take down the
Lobos 8-1. After surrendering a run two bat-
ters into the game, No. 22 settled down and
pitched seven innings, scattering another ve
hits while walking two and striking out ve.
Throughout the year, the rst inning has
always been the toughest for me, Grotz said.
Coming from last year, I was kind of a reliev-
er, so transitioning back to starting, once I get
that rst inning down, Im comfortable.
He doesnt rattle, said CSM manager
Doug Williams. He just pours the ball into
the zone, hes not afraid of any situation and
thats the sign of a real number one. Hes real-
ly good.
For a minute there, it looked like Monterrey
came out with more intensity than the
Bulldogs were ready for. Ty Morris tripled and
Dylan Candae singled him home right after to
make it 1-0 and no out.
But something clicked for Grotz after that
knock and the right-hander got a pair of
ground balls and a strikeout to limit the rst-
inning damage.
Zac has been so good, Willams said. He
settled in. Hes got his composure and he kept
it small. And we talk about keeping it small in
those situations and thats what he was able to
do there.
I feel like its almost how I go out there in

SAN JOSE Through his own ferocious
play, Ryane Clowe taught his San Jose Sharks
teammates the spirit of toughness and sticking
together.
The New York Rangers are counting on that
very hard-nosed player doing the same thing
as he moves across the country to join anoth-
er contender.
New York acquired the ery forward from
the Sharks for three draft
picks Tuesday, ahead of
Wednesdays trade dead-
line.
To save space under the
salary cap, the Sharks
made the tough call to part
ways with a versatile
leader in both the locker
room and on the ice.
Hes one of these guys
thats feared and respected, hes tough as
nails, he can play the game, hes a great team-
mate, and hes a pending unrestricted free
agent, San Jose president and general manag-
er Doug Wilson said.
As a player and a teammate, teammates
know he has their back and hes just a tremen-
dous heart-and-soul competitor.
The Sharks receive the Rangers second-
round pick and a third-round pick in the 2013
draft, and a conditional second-round pick in
the 2014 draft.
We are extremely pleased to be able to
acquire Ryane, Rangers president and gener-
al manager Glen Sather said.
He is a unique combination of size, skill
and toughness. His strong leadership and
character make him a tremendous addition to
our organization on and off the ice.
If Clowe re-signs with the Rangers or the
team wins two playoff rounds, the pick
remains New Yorks 2014 second-round selec-
tion.

With the most wins in the state, any loss by
the College of San Mateo softball team makes
for a big headline.
On Tuesday, the Bulldogs traveled to San
Jose City College and suffered their third
Coast Conference loss, 2-1. San Jose scored a
run in the bottom of the seventh inning off of
the states winningest pitcher, Michelle
Pilster, to pick up its 10th conference victory.
The Bulldogs, at 9-3, are still two games up
of Foothill College in the North Division. San
Jose and Cabrillo College are tied atop the
South Division with 10-2 records.
San Jose got on the board rst with a run in
the opening frame. The Bulldogs tied the
game in the fourth after Pilster got on board
and Katie Tam doubled her home.
But as its been the case for CSM in game
where theyve lost, leaving runners stranded
on base is the Bulldogs Achilles heel. On
Tuesday, the Bulldogs left eight runners on
base.
Pilster was solid in the circle again, allow-
ing just ve hits to a team that came into the
game with a .405 batting average good for
fourth in Northern California.
But one of those hits happened to come at
the worst possible time.
College baseball
A ve-run third and eight-run eighth buried
the Skyline College baseball team in a 13-3
loss to West Valley College.
The loss drops the Trojans to 9-18 and puts
an end to a three-game winning streak.
Bryan Hidalgo, formerly of Mills High
School, went just three innings, surrendering
ve runs on four hits and ve runs (two
unearned). He also walked two.
But Hidalgos outing wasnt the roughest.
Joey Carney gave up three runs on two hits
and walked one without recording an out to
start the eighth with the score 5-3 in West
Valleys favor.
His replacement, Connor Taylor, didnt fair
much better. Taylor surrendered four runs on
two hits and walked a pair.
Skyline scored its three runs in the eighth
inning. With two outs, Cory Fauble singled
and Lucci Molina duplicated the feat a batter
later. Up came Ismael Orozco, who drove
home his teammates with a triple. Orozco
scored a batter later when Carney singled in a
run.
But West Valley responded emphatically
with those eight runs in the eighth inning.
Skyline was out-hit 12-8 with the majority of
damage done by a quintet of Vikings.
Even with the loss and currently in last
place in the Coast Conference Pacific
Division, the Trojans are just two games out
of rst.
Girls lacrosse
The Menlo-Atherton girls lacrosse team
overcame a strong start by Saratoga and
scored a thrilling, late-game goal to come
away with a 13-12 non-league win.
Saratoga jumped out to a quick 3-1 lead,
before M-A answered with four straight goals.
M-As goalkeeper Alaina Kleck kept the
Bears in the game with six of her eight saves
in the rst half and Menlo-Atherton went into
halftime with a 5-4 lead.
The Falcons started fast in the second half
going on a 4-1 run with three goals by Ingrid
Hong. But the Bears defense, led by Megan
Wiseman and Maya Israni, made several key
stops allowing Heather Melendez and
Amanda Wiseman to score two goals apiece.
With the game tied at 12 with 1:30 remain-
ing, Meredith Geaghan-Breiner beat two
defenders to score the game winner.
Lady Bulldogs suffer rare softball loss

LOS ANGELES Madison Bumgarner
pitched two-hit ball over eight innings, giving
the San Francisco Giants a 3-0 win against the
Dodgers while overshadowing the major
league debut of high-priced Los Angeles
pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu (He-YUN Jin Ree-
YOO) on Tuesday night.
Bumgarner (1-0) struck out six and walked
none in the second straight gem at Dodger
Stadium. The only hits were a pair of doubles
by Andre Ethier and A.J. Ellis. Left-hander
Clayton Kershaw homered and pitched a four-
hit shutout in the Dodgers 4-0 victory on
opening day Monday.
Sergio Romo pitched a perfect ninth to earn
his rst save of the season.
Ryus debut helped draw 45,431 fans to see
the left-hander who signed a $36 million, six-
year deal with the team in December, making
him the rst player to go
directly from the Korea
Baseball Organization to
the U.S. major leagues.

in New Orleans. Now, he gets another start
right back where his football career began.
The 31-year-old Asomugha spent his rst
eight NFL seasons, from 2003-2010 with the
Oakland Raiders, who selected him 31st over-
all in the rst round of the 2003 draft out of
nearby California in Berkeley. He made three
Pro Bowls during his time with Oakland.
Playing in the 49ers talented secondary
means more to Asomugha at this stage of his
career than a hefty pay day. Before his release
in Philadelphia on the rst day of free agency
last month, he had been due to make $15 mil-
lion this season, including $4 million guaran-
teed, after signing a $60 million, ve-year deal
with the Eagles in 2011.
He believes in karma and timing, Dogra
said. He wants to show everybody its not
about the money for him. He wants to prove
something. He could have walked away and
retired. He wants to play for a winner. Hes
inspired. He wants to be part of a great team
and take care of unnished business from last
year. He wants to end this on his terms.
Hopefully, he can get a ring and stay happy.

49ERS
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO In Cleveland one day
for the start of offseason conditioning, in the
Bay Area the next studying his new San
Francisco playbook.
What a whirlwind 24 hours for Colt McCoy.
McCoys trade from the Browns to the 49ers
was nalized Tuesday after the quarterback
passed a physical.
I actually showed up in Cleveland yesterday
to start the offseason, McCoy said on a confer-
ence call between meetings at his new team
headquarters. I didnt really know what was
going to happen. I think there was a lot of spec-
ulation. At the end of the day yesterday I was a
49er, and I couldnt be more happy.
McCoy will have the chance to win the back-
up job behind Colin Kaepernick for the NFC
champions, who had a spot to ll after trading
2005 No. 1 overall draft pick Alex Smith to
Kansas City at the start of the NFLs free agency
period.
We are pleased to add another high-charac-
ter player like Colt to our roster, 49ers general
manager Trent Baalke said. He is a young,
competitive player who we
are looking forward to
working with.
McCoy showed up in
Cleveland on Monday to
participate in the teams
offseason training regimen
only to learn he was headed
West to play for ex-NFL
quarterback Jim Harbaugh
and the two-time reigning
NFC West champion Niners.
Its good to get a new fresh start, fresh
opportunity, and to do it with a team thats well
established, McCoy said. Ive heard nothing
but great things about this place. ... Its a bless-
ing.
San Francisco is sending a pair of undis-
closed draft picks to the Browns. A person
familiar with the deal told The Associated Press
the team got a fth- and seventh-round pick in
this months NFL draft in exchange for McCoy
and Clevelands sixth-round pick. The person
provided details of the trade on condition of
anonymity.
McCoy cant wait to get to work alongside
Harbaugh, the 2011 NFL Coach of the Year
after his rookie season as a head coach. As of
Tuesday afternoon, McCoy was still waiting for
the chance to toss the ball around with the coach
though they still had a sit-down scheduled
after lunching together earlier in the day.
Theyve been very successful. Ive watched
Coach Harbaugh since he was at Stanford,
McCoy said. Ive played with some guys who
were with him at Stanford, Owen Marecic, he
played both ways for him, one of my good bud-
dies.
These guys have been around the game for a
long time, they know offense like the back of
their hand. My job is to come in and learn things
as quickly as I can. We do a lot of things simi-
larly. Ill be new to it but Im excited to get
going.
When questioned whether he asked his agent
to try for a trade, McCoy didnt answer directly
but it sure sounds as if he wasnt against the
idea.
I just told him that I wanted whats best,
McCoy said. This is a situation I think will
work out best for us, me and the Browns organ-
ization. It was a quick turnaround, a quick
change of events. ... I went in with the mindset
to compete and Ill carry that mindset over here
as well.
The 26-year-old McCoy played in only three
games last season because of a shoulder injury,
a year after starting 13 games in 2011 before
sustaining a concussion.
McCoy, who won 45 career games at Texas,
was forced into the starting lineup as a rookie
and made eight starts in 2010. The very next
year, he was the victim of a helmet-to-helmet
hit by Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison.
Brandon Weeden beat out McCoy last season,
then the Browns signed veteran Jason Campbell
last week to make McCoy expendable.
He is healthy now his shoulder and his
frame of mind and ready to compete. Thats
just what Harbaugh likes, and the coach knows
Scott Tolzien will show up also ready to chase
the No. 2 job.
As crazy as the past day went, McCoy is
moving forward.
It happened this way, so I kind of live and
never look back, McCoy said. There were
some great things that went on and sometimes I
learned from things that went on. I have no hard
feelings. I know thats probably a shock for
some people to hear that. At the end of the day,
Im where Im supposed to be right now.

ALAMEDA Going from a playoff con-
tender in Seattle to a rebuilding project in
Oakland doesnt seem to bother Matt Flynn
much.
If anything, the Raiders new quarterback is
embracing his new surroundings and his
new role.
With Carson Palmer
having been traded to
Arizona in a deal that was
completed Tuesday, Flynn
is expected to be Oaklands
starter next season after
spending his rst ve sea-
sons in the NFL as a back-
up.
Hell have to beat out
Terrelle Pryor for the job
in training camp, and theres been talk the
Raiders are considering taking West Virginia
quarterback Geno Smith with the third overall
pick in the draft later this month.
But all indications are that the 27-year-old
Flynn will be Oaklands third different starter
in three years when the 2013 season begins.
I think that should be everybodys expecta-
tion, whether youre competing for lineback-
ers, DBs or snapper, Flynn said during a meet-
ing with Bay Area reporters. Youre expecting
to win that job. Thats the mental approach Im
going to take to it. Im here to work and Im
here to compete and do what I need to do to
make this place better.
The Raiders didnt have to pay much to
acquire Flynn from the Seahawks, sending a
fth-round pick in 2014 and a conditional
selection in 2015 to the Seahawks in return for
a player whos been mostly untested since
entering the NFL as a seventh-round pick in
2008.
Flynn has started just two games in the NFL,
both while with Green Bay. He put up modest
numbers as a backup with the Packers but
gained national attention when he threw for
480 yards and six touchdowns in a Week 17
game against Detroit during the 2011 season.
Flynn cashed in on that success and signed a
three-year, $26 million deal with Seattle but
lost the starting job to rookie Russell Wilson
early last season and spent the remainder of his
time in the Pacic Northwest on the bench.
Now hes in Oakland, where general manag-
er Reggie McKenzie has orchestrated a mas-
sive overhaul of the teams roster and bloated
payroll. McKenzie worked in Green Bays
front ofce when the Packers drafted Flynn ve
years ago.
We always got along and I always knew
Reggie had a pretty good head on his shoul-
ders, Flynn said Tuesday. Talking with him
leading up to this process, it got me excited
because he has a vision for where this things
going. Hes a big-picture guy.
Some fans in Oakland might think otherwise.
Since the 2012 season ended, the Raiders
have gutted their roster and rid themselves of
the heavily backloaded contracts that have kept
McKenzie from being much of a player in free
agency.
Before trading Palmer to the Cardinals in a
deal that had been expected ever since the quar-
terback balked at the teams request to take a
pay cut, the Raiders had already cleared up
some much-needed salary cap space by cutting
wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, safety
Michael Huff and defensive tackle Tommy
Kelly. They also declined to spend on some of
their own free agents, allowing seven-time Pro
Bowl punter Shane Lechler, starting defensive
end Matt Shaughnessy and linebacker Philip
Wheeler to sign with new teams.
Palmer was scheduled to earn more than $13
million for Oakland, though he agreed to
restructure his deal down with the Cardinals
once the trade was completed.
Flynn, on the other hand, will make $5.25
million this season and $6.25 million in 2014.

It didnt look like we were overmatched.
Sequoia pitcher Gina Rodriguez had a rocky
start and looked upset after giving up ve runs
in the second inning. Reynick put his arm
around his starter and gave her a little pep talk
before she went into the dugout. Rodriguez
pitched three innings and gave up nine earned
runs. Makayla Genardini pitched the nal
inning, allowing a pair of hits but no runs.
Clearly [Rodriguez] wasnt sharp today,
Reynick said. But I told her I was proud of
her, moving on to the next batter. I was look-
ing for her to compete and turn the page and
battle them.
Sequoia (1-2 PAL Bay, 5-3 overall) had at
least one hit in every inning, but could not get
that one big hit to put any pressure on
Carlmont (3-0, 12-2). At least the Cherokees
got the bats going early with Caitlin
Castagnola singling up the middle with one
out in the rst inning. It was big because the
last thing Reynick wanted to see was his team
go inning and after inning without a hit and
worry about having to break up a no-hitter or
perfect game.
That was the rst thing on my mind,
Reynick said. I didnt want to reduce my
expectations to breaking up a no-hitter.
Castagnola had the hot bat for the
Cherokees as she went 3 for 3.
We give out stickers (for good performanc-
es) and that was a two-sticker game, Reynick
said. She was locked in.
Alania Woo and Ashley Killmon had the
other two hits for Sequoia, with Woos being a
double in the second inning.
While Sequoia was looking for moral victo-
ries, Carlmont was just looking for the win
and the Scots wasted no time in putting this
game to bed early. The Scots got their rst run
in the rst inning on a Christy Peterson sacri-
ce y and Kira Loucks followed with an RBI
single. Jacy Phipps had the big hit in the
inning with a two-run double to the left-center
eld gap to give Carlmont a 4-0 lead after one
inning.
It was just a warmup for Phipps, who added
a bases-loaded triple in the second inning to
drive in three more runs. She hit a shallow y
ball to right eld that the Sequoia rightelder
couldnt get to. She went into a slide but had
the ball skip past her, allowing Phipps to race
around to third, sliding in safely ahead of the
throw.
A freshman, Phipps batted in the seventh
spot and showed that there is no weakness in
the Scots batting order.
Im just thinking if I see a strike Im going
to hit it, Phipps said. Even though Im bat-
ting down there, Im just trying to get RBIs.
Said Liggett: Usually we dont bring up a
freshman unless she can play. She looked
good in preseason. Its not easy being a fresh-
man being called up (to the varsity level).
Youre the low man on the totem pole.
In addition to Phipps ve RBIs, Peterson
drove in a pair of runs, as did Gabby Pons.
Leadoff hitter Missy Pekarek reached base in
her three at-bats with two walks and error,
scoring three times. Taylor Yzaguirre had a
pair of hits and scored twice, and did Pons and
Loucks.
SOFTBALL
the rst inning, Grotz said. Sometimes,
youre not always there, your stuffs not there,
or your not feeling well. So, its kind of hard
to keep that repetitive attitude every time. But,
I try to get in that same routine. I can feel I
was a little off today.
If Grotz was a little off, the Lobos pitching
staff was way off. Starter Otto Kramm lasted
three hitters and left with the bases full of
Bulldogs in the rst all of which reached
via the free base (two walks, one hit batter).
Marc Heron was summoned and he quickly
proceeded to walk in the tying run. Then,
Kailen Robinson followed with a shot to cen-
tereld that was misread by the outelder and
allowed two runs to waltz home to make it 3-
1. After another walk, Jarett Costas elders
choice brought in another CSM run. By the
time the rst inning was over, Grotzs tough
start was forgetten with the Bulldogs up 4-1.
They helped us a little bit, Williams said
of the Lobos pitchers who in all gifted 12 base
runners via the free pass (eight walks, four hit
batters) in the game. They had trouble nd-
ing the plate, but we continue to improve and
get better after a shaky start. We feel good
about that. We go into a tough week, so its
nice to get that rst one.
Grotz put the game on cruise control from
there, running into minor trouble in the sixth
(two on, one out, double play to get out of the
inning) and seventh.
Between the rst and that seventh, the
Bulldog offense staked the former Burlingame
Panther with plenty of support.
In the fourth, a Brandon Defazio lead-off
single turned into a run coutesy of Robinson
and in the fth, an Armstrong single turned
into another run thanks to a Trevin Craig
squeeze bunt.
WIth the score 5-1 in the seventh, a runner
on rst and two outs, Grotz got a visit from
Williams.
Lately my arm has been a little tired,
Grotz said. So, weve been on a little bit of a
pitch watch. He came out and told me one
more and told me that was going to be my last
batter. I said, ne. Im going to go after this
guy. Once that guy pulled the ball down the
line, with runners on second and third, I didnt
want to leave it up to someone else. I Just
wanted to nish it and get it done.
That last jam ended innocently with a
ground ball to second. Grotz then gave way to
Vincent Koci, who was perfect in an inning of
work. DJ Sharabi and Skyler Fuss closed the
win out for the Bulldogs.
CSM added a run in the seventh when an
error at second allowed Armstrong to race
around third and score after a sensational slide
at the plate. Then one more in the eighth on a
Robinson single.
Weve been doing a lot better job of that
lately coming up with some big hits and
timely hits and thats what was missing early,
Williams said. Although we still left a fair
share of runners on base today, we did
enough.
CSM
If neither occurs, the pick becomes New
Yorks fth-round 2014 selection.
While Clowe hasnt scored a goal this season,
he has 11 assists in 28 games. The rugged right
winger has long been considered the heart of the
franchise. He was originally selected by San
Jose in the sixth round of the 2001 draft and
leaves the Sharks ninth on the teams career
points list with 271.
He waived his no-trade clause to join a
Rangers team that entered Tuesday holding the
eighth and nal playoff spot in the Eastern
Conference. The Sharks let Clowes camp take
the lead and Clowe made the nal call on the
swap.
These types of deals are always extremely
difcult, Wilson said on a conference call
shortly after meeting with Clowe.
Ryane is a homegrown guy, tremendous
character and tremendously respected. Its a
deal, having just nished meeting with Ryane, I
have mixed emotions. But its with great appre-
ciation of what hes given us as a member of our
organization and certainly how he helped us
through this process we just went through.
Ryane and his agent, Kent Hughes, were
very involved in this process and had the nal
say and certainly did everything they could to,
one, get to place they wanted to get to, but also
help our organization get full value back for
Ryane. That just tells you an awful lot about
Ryane, Wilson said.
The 30-year-old Clowe has 101 career goals
and 170 assists for 271 points in his eight sea-
sons with San Jose. He surpassed the 50-point
mark in three straight seasons from 2008-11,
and has a pair of 20-goal seasons.
Now, the Sharks must ll a big void.
Part of that will happen with ve picks among
the rst 61 selections in the June 30 draft.
Were going through kind of a reset and
refresh with our team, Wilson said. You cant
really allow three unrestricted free agents to
leave and not get any assets in return. So we
kind of came to the decision and conclusion
there were some things we wanted to do. Weve
got some young players who were ready to seize
the opportunity.

Scott: Rushs remarks
not a reable offense
SAN FRANCISCO Pac-12
Commissioner Larry Scott said Tuesday that
comments made by the conferences coordi-
nator of ofcials are not a reable offense
and have been mischaracterized as targeting
only Arizona coach Sean Miller during inter-
nal meetings before the league tournament.
In a phone interview with the Associated
Press, Scott said that Ed Rushs remarks were
part of an overall point of emphasis to crack
down on coach misconduct on the sideline. He
said an investigation found Rushs rant includ-
ed an inappropriate joke offering a group of
ofcials $5,000 for a trip to Cancun if they
called a technical foul on Miller, but that every
official interviewed confirmed nobody
thought they were getting a reward.

OAKLAND Michael Morse hit a three-
run homer and a solo shot, Hisashi Iwakuma
followed up Felix Hernandezs gem with an
impressive outing of his own, and the Seattle
Mariners beat the Oakland Athletics 7-1 on
Tuesday night.
Iwakuma struck out seven and didnt walk a
batter as the Mariners won their second con-
secutive game against Oakland to begin the
season. He gave up a leadoff homer by Yoenis
Cespedes to the deepest part of center eld in
the second inning, then quickly regrouped and
retired 15 of his nal 16 hitters.
Kyle Seager doubled twice among his three
hits, drove in a run, scored a pair and reached
base ve times. Kendrys Morales added an
RBI single for Seattle, which is 2-0 for the
eighth time in club history.
After King Felix and three relievers com-
bined on the third opening day shutout in
Mariners history Monday, Iwakuma did his
part against the reigning AL West champions.
So did the hitters.
Morse, a former Mariners farmhand who
returned to the franchise this season, had his
sixth career two-homer game and rst since
Sept. 27 last year with Washington at
Philadelphia.
Seattle tagged Jarrod Parker for four runs
and ve hits in ve innings, working the count
to raise his pitch total in a hurry. The right-
hander, a 13-game winner last season as a
rookie, walked three and struck out one. He
led the As pitching staff with 63 free passes
last season.
Parker allowed consecutive singles to
Michael Saunders and Seager to start the game
but retired Morales on a popup and induced
Morses inning-ending double play. The pitch-
er also worked through the second unscathed
before allowing back-to-back walks to
Saunders and Seager in the third. Morales
reached on a elders choice and Morse then
sent a 2-2 pitch over the right-eld wall. Josh
Reddick slammed face-rst into the fence try-
ing to make a play.
Justin Smoak drew a bases-loaded walk as
Seattle added a run in the seventh against Ryan
Cook, who had a pair of four-pitch walks and
a ve-pitch free pass to go with a hit batter in
a rough seventh. Oakland walked eight in all.
After almost daily lineup changes a year
ago, As manager Bob Melvin stuck with the
same hitters in order for Game 2. The group
held to three hits in a 2-0 loss to Hernandez a
night earlier mustered just three more.
My pen was shaking, Melvin joked.
Iwakuma got through a 1-2-3 rst inning on
10 pitches and was unfazed after Cespedes
connected. The pitcher, who posted a club
rookie record 2.65 ERA in 16 starts last year,
allowed two hits in six innings.

Lakers hang Shaqs No. 34 jersey in the rafters
LOS ANGELES Although Shaquille ONeal rarely nds
himself speechless, he says hes thrilled beyond words to see
his jersey in the Los Angeles Lakers rafters.
The Lakers planned a halftime ceremony Tuesday night to
honor ONeal. Theyll hang his No. 34 jersey in the Staples
Center collection including Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-
Jabbar and Magic Johnson.
ONeal is the sixth-leading scorer in
NBA history. He played eight of his 19
NBA seasons with the Lakers, winning
three championships and reaching four
NBA nals during his basketball prime.
Although ONeal began his career in
Orlando and played for four more teams
after leaving Los Angeles, the 15-time All-
Star says he considers Los Angeles his
NBA home, and hopes to represent the
Lakers in the Hall of Fame.

By Elizabeth Karmel
Pressure cookers never really did much for
me. They seemed fussy and scary! All
those stories about explosions.
Then I used one to make a risotto, a dish
that by denition is tedious to make. I was
blown away. It simplied the process and
most impressively sped it up. What nor-
mally takes me 45 minutes in a traditional
saute pan was done and ready to serve in
about 20. Thats my type of risotto! And my
type of pan.
Pressure cookers really are very cool
devices. Because the lids clamp on and create
a pressured, steam-driven environment, they
allow you to cook at higher temperatures.
Normal boiling or steaming cooking methods
max out around 212 F, the boiling point of
water. Pressure cookers allow for water (as
steam) to be superheated, reaching as high as
250 F.
The result is a moist, quick method of
cooking that produces deliciously tender
meats in little time. And modern pressure
cookers also happen to be very safe (dont
worry about explosions!).
My risotto recipe is simple and delicate
because I wanted it to showcase the aspara-
gus. But it would be easy to add a touch of
garlic, your favorite mushrooms and even
tender spring peas.
The second time I made it, I added porcini
mushroom powder and it was divine, result-
ing in a bolder, more umami lled risotto
without any mushroom slices. The garlic and
mushrooms or porcini powder should
go in at the beginning and peas should be
added when the asparagus is to let the heat of
the steaming rice cook the tender vegetables.
I have never had so much fun making risot-
to. Now that I have the hang of using the
pressure cooker, I cant wait to tackle short
ribs, chicken Marbella, whole stuffed arti-
chokes and grits, too anything that nor-
mally takes hours and/or lots of stirring to
make!
PRESSURE COOKER
RISOTTO WITH ASPARAGUS
The asparagus is added raw to the rice after
it is cooked, letting the delicate green stalks
cook just briey. This light touch leaves the
asparagus bright green and slightly crunchy.
If you like your asparagus cooked more, you
can grill or saute it briey before adding it to
the risotto. But do not add it to the pressure
cooker at the same time as the rice or it will
overcook.
Start to nish: 45 minutes
Servings: 4
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, chopped or thinly sliced
1 cup Arborio rice
1/2 cup white wine
2 cups no-salt chicken broth
Pinch of salt, plus more to taste
Pinch of red pepper akes
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup small asparagus tips and tops, cut
into 1-inch pieces
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
In a medium pressure cooked over medi-
um, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the
shallot and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, or until
translucent. Increase heat to high and add the
rice, stirring to coat. Toast the rice, stirring
constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine
and cook until evaporated.
Add the broth and a pinch each of salt and
red pepper flakes. Stir until the mixture
comes to a simmer, then lock on the pressure
cookers lid. Set a timer for 9 minutes. Bring
the cooker up to full pressure, then reduce the
heat to maintain that level. Cook until the
timer goes off.
Take the cooker off the heat and wait 3
minutes, then put the pot in the sink and run
cold water over it to release the pressure.
Open the cooker; the rice should be creamy.
Return the pot to the stovetop over medium
heat. Add the butter, asparagus, cheese and
chives. Stir until heated through and the but-
ter and cheese have melted. Season with salt
and pepper.

based on immigration status.
A recent report by the National
Employment Law Project found that labor
violations and widespread retaliation have
become prominent features of the low-wage
labor market in California, according to
Mullins ofce.
In many of these low-wage occupations
and industries, vulnerable immigrants cannot
exercise their labor rights or speak out against
unfair or illegal working conditions without
the fear of retaliation, Jose Mejia, of the
California State Council of Laborers, wrote in
a statement.
The bill is a big step toward improving job
quality in the low-wage jobs that fuel the
states economy and to remove the ability of
employers to use immigrant status for retalia-
tion or other unlawful purposes, Mejia wrote
in the statement.
By clarifying the definition of extortion,
AB 524 will help level the playing field and
prevent unethical employers from using
immigration status as a means of escaping
responsibility for workplace abuses, coer-
cion and wage theft, according to Mullins
office.
AB 524 passed the Assembly Public Safety
Committee yesterday on a 5-2 vote.

NEW YORK Pizza Hut has found a way
to get more cheese into American diets a
pizza crust made of little cheese-stuffed bread
bowls.
The chain on Wednesday will introduce a
new pizza that comes surrounded by 16 semi-
circles of cheese that can be pulled off and
eaten separately. The Crazy Cheesy Crust,
which will be available for several weeks,
isnt the rst time Pizza Hut has incorporated
cheese into its crusts.
In 1995, the chain introduced its Stuffed
Crust Pizza as a limited-time offer but the
pies were such a hit that they soon became a
permanent part of the menu.
Even as fast-food chains increasingly look
to cater to health-conscious diners, Pizza
Huts latest invention shows Americans still
have an appetite for indulgent new creations.
Burger King, for example, recently rolled out
its rst turkey burger as part of a limited-time
spring menu. But the menu also included a
burger stuffed with bacon and cheddar
cheese, as well as tater tots stuffed with bacon
and sweet onions.
Pizza Hut has also offered variations of the
cheese-stuffed crust with pepperoni and other
toppings hidden inside. Fast-food fanatics
may also notice that the latest pizza has a
similar shape to the chains Crown Crust
pie that was introduced in the Middle East a
year ago. That pie, which comes surrounded
by mini-cheeseburgers, isnt available in the
U.S. but images of it have circulated widely
online. In Japan and Thailand, Pizza Hut has
also offered pizzas with hot dog-stuffed
crusts.
Doug Terfehr, a spokesman for Pizza Hut,
noted that the cheeseburger and hot dog
crusts worked overseas because people often
group together those foods and pizza as being
American, so combining them makes sense.
He said the Crazy Cheesy Crust was devel-
oped specically for the U.S. market. By not
making it an over-the-top indulgence, Terfehr
said it would be more likely that people
would buy the pies repeatedly rather than just
trying them once as a novelty.
Pizza Huts executive chef Wiley Bates said
it took about a year to perfect the pie and that
the shape had to be simplied so it would be
easy for restaurant employees to make. For
example Bates said earlier versions of the pie
had four little cups of cheese per slice, rather
than two.

A pepperoni slice of the new pie has 390 calories and 20 grams of fat. By comparison, a slice
of the regular hand-tossed pepperoni is listed at 310 calories and 13 grams of fat.A pepperoni
slice from the Stuffed Crust pie has 340 calories and 16 grams of fat.

Whenever Esi Impraims mother
made jollof a rich, tomato-laced
dish of meats, rice and sometimes
seafood the time it took to bub-
ble away on the stove was always
excruciating.
I always got excited when we
had it, the 32-year-old Chicago
executive assistant says of the
ubiquitous West African staple.
Sometimes she liked to experi-
ment with her dishes, but this one
was always the same.
Impraims parents came to the
U.S. from Ghana, and her mom
served jollof alongside fish or
chicken and went light on the oil.
But the dish, popular in countries
such as Senegal, Nigeria, Ghana
and Liberia, has as many varia-
tions as cooks. A one-pot meal,
jollofs basic ingredients include
rice that turns bright umber in the
tomato sauce, spices that range
from nutmeg to chili peppers, and
sometimes vegetables.
Sound like jambalaya? Not a
coincidence.
If you look at gumbo, jamba-
laya, hoppin John, these are all
derivatives, says Frederick
Douglass Opie, a scholar of food-
ways of the African diaspora at
Harvard University. As you lis-
ten to the definition of what jollof
rice is a red-based rice its
the same thing. As my mother
would say, Theyre all kissing
cousins.
Jollof rice is thought to have
originated in the Jollof empire, a
kingdom that controlled wide
swaths of western Africa from the
14th through the 19th centuries.
Many American slaves came from
this part of the continent, part of
Africas rice belt. They brought
with them their agricultural
knowledge and their rice-based
food traditions.
Like the American dishes it
influenced, jollof has endless vari-
ations. It is made differently in
different countries, and even by
different people in the same coun-
try. A story in the British newspa-
per The Guardian called jollof
the African dish that everyone
loves but no one can agree on.
Most versions begin by frying
onions in oil, adding tomatoes and
stock, then cooking the rice in the
resulting sauce. But which rice,
which spices to add and whether
to serve the meat on the side or
mixed into the dish can make
grandmothers feud. Vegetables
whether or not to include them, let
alone which ones to use are
another point of contention. Even
the way its spelled can change.
At Brooklyn, N.Y.s Joloff
Restaurant (yes, spelled different-
ly) owner Papa K. Diagne flavors
his tomato sauce with fish stock,
as he would in his native Senegal.
His fish and vegetables carrots,
cabbage, eggplant, cassava or
sweet potato simmer in the
sauce, then get removed and
served on the side. The rice cooks
in the flavored tomato broth.
Diagne also makes a jollof rice
with chicken and a vegetarian ver-
sion. For all of them, he uses only
fine-grained or broken jasmine
rice.
I have Asian persons, African-
Americans, Africans, I have a
variety of customers, Diagne
says. A lot of people come for the
jollof rice.
At Lagos Peppersoup Corner at
the Intercontinental Restaurant in
Columbus, Ohio, Nigerian chef
and owner Esther Ajiboye uses
only parboiled rice, a rice that is
partially cooked in its husk. Her
flavorings include curry powder,
bouillon cubes, habanero pepper
and occasionally ginger. But
almost no vegetables.
The only vegetables I use are
onion and red bell pepper,
Ajiboye says.
But such disagreements dont
make jollof unique. Its like
pizza, Harvards Opie says.
Theres a big argument between
Chicago and New York. Theyve
both got the same ingredients, its
just what you do with them.
JOLLOF RICE
Start to finish: 45 minutes
Servings: 8
For the rice:
4 tablespoons canola or veg-
etable oil, divided
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons tomato paste
15-ounce can crushed or diced
tomatoes
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pep-
per
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
(more or less to taste)
2 cups basmati rice
5 to 6 cups (1 1/2 quarts) unsalt-
ed chicken stock
For the vegetables (select 2 to
3):
1 red bell pepper, cored and diced
1 green bell pepper, cored and
diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 carrots, diced
3/4 cup fresh or frozen peas
3/4 cup fresh or frozen green
beans
For the protein (select 1 or 2):
1 pound large peeled shrimp
1 pound boneless, skinless
chicken thighs
1 pound sirloin steak, cubed
1 pound tofu or seitan, cubed
For the garish (select 1):
Chopped fresh parsley
Chopped fresh cilantro
Sliced scallions
Hot sauce
In a large, heavy bottomed pan
such as a Dutch oven over medi-
um-high, heat 2 tablespoons of
the oil. Add the onion, garlic and
ginger, then cook until softened
and beginning to brown, about 6
to 7 minutes. Add the tomato
paste and continue to cook until
the mixture becomes brick red,
about another 6 to 7 minutes.
Add the crushed tomatoes,
coriander, cumin, curry, salt,
black pepper, thyme, red pepper
flakes and rice. Stir to mix. Add 5
cups of the chicken stock and
bring to a simmer, then cover and
cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until
the rice is tender and has absorbed
most of the liquid. Check the rice;
if it is still firm, add another cup
of stock and cook until absorbed.
Meanwhile, in a large saute pan
over medium-high, heat 1 table-
spoon of the remaining oil. Saute
your choice of vegetables for 5 to
6 minutes, or until beginning to
brown and starting to be tender.
They do not have to be complete-
ly cooked through. Add them to
the rice and stir in.
Repeat the sauteing process
with the remaining tablespoon of
oil and your choice of protein,
searing it over medium-high heat
for 5 to 6 minutes. Stir that into
the rice mixture, as well.
Cook until the rice has
absorbed all the liquid and the
vegetables and protein are cooked
through. Season with salt and pep-
per, to taste, and garnish with
herbs and/or hot sauce.
Jollof: A taste of Africa reminiscent of the South
A one-pot meal, jollofs basic ingredients include rice that turns bright umber in the tomato sauce, spices that
range from nutmeg to chili peppers, and sometimes vegetables.

were told the post ofce could go on the
market in three months.
Councilwoman Terry Nagel respond-
ed to Baylocks concerns during the
meeting by saying her intention is to be
sensitive to the historical elements of the
building. However, she is against
requirements that could negatively
impact the creative uses of the building
in the future.
Baylock said that since Burlingame
doesnt have a preservation ordinance,
the building would be treated like any
other under CEQA. The preservation
covenant would be an extra level of sup-
port, she said.
The Burlingame Post Ofce is about
13,400 square feet but only 4,100 square
feet is needed, U.S. Postal Service
spokesman James Wigdel said in 2012.
The plan, announced at that time, was to
relocate all retail and P.O. Box opera-
tions currently housed in the Burlingame
Main Post Ofce to a yet-to-be-deter-
mined new location in the same vicinity
as the current location that is appropri-
ately sized for the citys needs.
A prime piece of downtown real
estate, city ofcials have actively been
working to generate ideas for the site
once it goes on the market.
Last year, Burlingame ofcials asked
for development proposals using city-
owned parking lots and told those put-
ting together proposals that lot E, which
is adjacent from the post ofce, could be
included since it might soon be on the
market. Nineteen proposals were
received. Two proposals rose to the top
from Grosvenor and Equity Residential.
Grosvenor, an international property
development, investment and fund man-
agement group, put forward a mixed-use
project using lot E. The concept encom-
passes the post ofce land and was cre-
ated in partnership with San Francisco-
based BAR Architects. It includes an
urban village with 100 residential
units, 35,000 square feet of retail and/or
restaurant space and 125 residential
parking spaces, according to a staff
report. Grosvenor proposes to either pay
an in-lieu fee to compensate for the loss
of city-owned and managed parking
spaces on the property. The rm is also
open to discussing ideas for helping the
city construct a parking structure on lot
J, across Park Road from lot E.
Equity Residential, a real estate
investment trust based in Chicago, has a
proposal that doesnt include the post
ofce space. Burlingame is in discussion
of terms for exclusive negotiating agree-
ments with both developers.
In 2010, the Burlingame City Council
adopted the Burlingame Downtown
Specic Plan, which provides the frame-
work for the business area. Earlier this
month, the city held the rst in a series
of workshops to explore and identify
opportunities and options for particular
aspects of downtown Burlingame. The
post ofce space was among the central
locations discussed in the rst meeting.

SFO after slain San Francisco supervi-
sor Harvey Milk but an airport
spokesman says the group wont weigh
in on the merits of that specic recom-
mendation.
Its not deciding who. Its just decid-
ing how, said acting airport spokesman
Doug Yakel.
The Airport Commission created the
committee to establish policies and
guiding principals using a public
process that incorporates the airports
history, according to Airport
Commission President Larry Mazzola.
The airport has had the same name
for nearly 60 years and the brand and
reputation are internationally recog-
nized. Many distinguished people have
helped and supported the airport in that
time, Mazzola said in a prepared state-
ment.
The nominees announced yesterday
will be voted upon by the Airport
Commission at a public meeting April
16. Foust is nominated in her capacity
as president and CEO of the San Mateo
County Economic Development
Association.
Joining her as a possible business rep-
resentative is Lee Blitch, retired vice
president of San Francisco State
University and former CEO of the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
Other nominees are Airport
Commissioner Linda Crayton; former
airport commissioner Carl Ito; Melinda
Yee Franklin, the director of corporate
and government affairs of the west
region for United Airlines; San
Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes
White; Pamela H. David, executive
director of the Walter and Elise Haas
Fund; and Jon Ballesteros, vice presi-
dent of public policy for the San
Francisco Travel Association.
Although Yakel said there have been
several proposals over the years to
rename SFO or its facilities for individ-
uals like former mayor Joseph Alioto or
former congressman Tom Lantos, the
idea heated up after Supervisor David
Campos suggested honoring Milk.
Airport officials initially estimated
doing so could cost about $4.1 million
but revised analysis said only changing
the signature name sign on the interna-
tional terminal could bring the price
down to as little as $355,000.
The renaming legislation comes
before the Board of Supervisors Rules
Committee on April 4.

FOUST
Some on the council, however, would
like to see some tax revenue raised from
the purchase of the 2.6-acre Werder
property.
A solar panel or wind turbine farm are
also proposals the committee will con-
sider tonight although the consultants
report by Callander Associates deems
the idea is essentially not feasible.
Callander Associates specializes in land-
scape architecture.
A community garden also might not
work at either park because of soil con-
ditions, according to the report.
Werder Park now has a picnic area,
rest room and parking lot while
Destination Park is the triangular-shaped
parcel near Halibut Street that was once
considered for a fourth elementary
school in the city.
Officials with Ice Center of San
Mateo, which will close soon at
Bridgepointe Shopping Center, have
expressed an interest in building a new
ice rink at Werder as it is close to its cur-
rent location.
The citys Parks and Recreation
Director Kevin Miller previously told
the Daily Journal that an ice rink would
be an awesome facility for Foster City to
have but indicated Werder might not be
the best place for an ice rink considering
its location and lack of space.
Proposals so far include keeping both
parks as open space, adding more picnic
tables and benches and interpretive bird
and wildlife signage.
Vendor opportunities and the ice rink
are proposed just for Werder Park.
The next scheduled public review and
input session will be held May 16 when
the item will be considered by the Foster
City Planning Commission for comment
and input before the City Council con-
siders it in September.
The Foster City Parks and Recreation
Committee meets 6:30 p.m., City Hall,
620 Foster City Blvd., Foster City.

YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A
DEED OF TRUST, DATED 05/04/2006.
UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PRO-
TECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE
SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU
NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NA-
TURE OF THE PROCEEDING
AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CON-
TACT A LAWYER. Notice is hereby giv-
en that RECONTRUST COMPANY,
N.A., as duly appointed trustee pursuant
to the Deed of Trust executed by MA-
HARRAM MAMMADOV, A MARRIED
MAN AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE
PROPERTY, dated 05/04/2006 and re-
corded 5/12/2006, as Instrument No.
2006-071813, in Book N/A, Page N/A, of
Official Records in the office of the Coun-
ty Recorder of San Mateo County, State
of California, will sell on 05/14/2013 at
1:00PM, San Mateo Events Center, 2495
S. Delaware Street, San Mateo, CA
94403 at public auction, to the highest
bidder for cash or check as described
below, payable in full at time of sale, all
right, title, and interest conveyed to and
now held by it under said Deed of Trust,
in the property situated in said County
and State and as more fully described in
the above referenced Deed of Trust.
The street address and other common
designation, if any, of the real property
described above is purported to be:
1116 WEST HILLSDALE BOULEVARD,
SAN MATEO, CA, 94403. The under-
signed Trustee disclaims any liability for
any incorrectness of the street address
and other common designation, if any,
shown herein. The total amount of the
unpaid balance with interest thereon of
the obligation secured by the property to
be sold plus reasonable estimated costs,
expenses and advances at the time of
the initial publication of the Notice of Sale
is $888,461.56. It is possible that at the
time of sale the opening bid may be less
than the total indebtedness due. In addi-
tion to cash, the Trustee will accept
cashier's checks drawn on a state or na-
tional bank, a check drawn by a state or
federal credit union, or a check drawn by
a state or federal savings and loan asso-
ciation, savings association, or savings
bank specified in Section 5102 of the Fi-
nancial Code and authorized to do busi-
ness in this state. Said sale will be made,
in an ''AS IS'' condition, but without cove-
nant or warranty, express or implied, re-
garding title, possession or encumbran-
ces, to satisfy the indebtedness secured
by said Deed of Trust, advances there-
under, with interest as provided, and the
unpaid principal of the Note secured by
said Deed of Trust with interest thereon
as provided in said Note, plus fees,
charges and expenses of the Trustee
and of the trusts created by said Deed of
Trust. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BID-
DERS If you are considering bidding on
this property lien, you should understand
that there are risks involved in bidding at
a trustee auction. You will be bidding on
a lien, not on a property itself. Placing
the highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you
are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to in-
vestigate the existence, priority, and size
of outstanding liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county record-
er's office or a title insurance company,
either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware
that the lender may hold more than one
mortgage or deed of trust on the proper-
ty. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER
The sale date shown on this notice of
sale may be postponed one or more
times by the mortgagee, beneficiary,
trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California Civil Code. The
law requires that information about trust-
ee sale postponements be made availa-
ble to you and to the public, as a courte-
sy to those not present at the sale. If you
wish to learn whether your sale date has
been postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of
