Ridership and farebox revenue continue to
climb for Caltrain compared to previous years
and the number of riders who use the system
has trended upward for 31 straight months
now, according to a staff report the Peninsula
Corridor Joint Powers Board will hear today.
The JPB is also expected to approve a $1.8
million expenditure to improve safety at ve
crossings along the corridor at todays meet-
ing.
The safety enhancement project will add
new trafc signals and railroad signals at
crossings in Redwood City, Palo Alto and
Mountain View.
The safety contract will be awarded as rid-
ership continues to climb for the agency,
which just adopted new farebox recovery rate
goals to help it meet its more than $111 mil-
lion annual budget.
For February, average weekday ridership
was up 11.8 percent compared to last year
when it averaged about 42,959 riders a day.
This year, however, the number climbed to
more than 48,000 riders a day for the same
month.
Last year, the transit agency set some all-
time ridership records by hitting an average of
50,000 riders a day during at least three
months.
More riders brings the transit agency more
farebox revenue as it collected about $5.3 mil-
lion in February compared to the $4.7 million
it earned during the same month last year, a
12 percent increase.
The system transported about 1.16 million
passengers during the entire month of

Woman takes deal
for scalding former
husband to death
Man died two weeks after having
boiling pot of water poured on him
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A Daly City woman who poured boiling water over her
sleeping ex-husband because she allegedly thought he was
unfaithful pleaded no contest yesterday to
second-degree murder for causing his
death two weeks later.
Jesusa Ursonal Tatad, 42, also admitted
the use of a deadly weapon namely the
scalding liquid and causing great bodily
injury. In return, she will be sentenced to
16 years to life in prison.
She acted rashly and she knows it and
regrets it, said defense attorney John May.
Tatad faced a possible rst-degree mur-
der conviction at trial and much longer sentence because she
was also charged with torture so the settlement was a good
decision on her part and also for the District Attorneys Ofce,
Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti said.
Its unmistakable that boiling water can do an awful lot of
damage and cause unbelievable pain but theres a chance a jury
wouldnt believe it can kill someone, Guidotti said.
May said the settlement also gives his client the hope of

Leno to leave NBCs
Tonight Show next spring
NEW YORK NBC on Wednesday
announced its long-rumored switch in late
night, replacing Jay Leno at the Tonight
show with Jimmy Fallon and moving the
iconic franchise back to New York.
Fallon will take over in about a year, the
switch coinciding with NBCs Winter
Olympics coverage next year. Veteran
Saturday Night Live producer Lorne
Michaels also will take over as executive
producer of Tonight.
NBC made no announcement on who
would replace Fallon at the 12:35 a.m.
Late Night slot, although Seth Meyers
of Saturday Night Live is considered a
strong candidate.
The change at Tonight, the longest-
running and most popular late-night talk
show, had been widely reported but not
conrmed by the network until
Wednesday. NBC reportedly just wrapped
up negotiations with Fallon on a contract
extension.
Steve Burke, chief executive ofcer of
NBC Universal, said the network is pur-
posefully making the move when Leno is
still at the top of the ratings, just as when
Leno replaced Johnny Carson at
Tonight in 1992.
Jimmy Fallon is a unique talent and
this is his time, Burke said.
Leno, in a statement, offered his con-
gratulations to Fallon.
I hope youre as lucky as me and hold
on to the job until youre the old guy, he
said. If you need
me, Ill be at the
garage.
Fallon said: Im
really excited to host
a show that starts
today instead of
tomorrow.
NBC has been qui-
etly building a new
studio for Fallon at
its Rockefeller
Center headquarters.
Tonight began in
New York in the
1950s, but Carson
moved it to
California in 1972.
Starting next year,
Fallon, Letterman,
Jon Stewart and
Stephen Colbert will
tape late-night shows in New York. ABCs
Jimmy Kimmel and TNTs Conan
OBrien will be the top California-based
shows.
Will Zumba instructor
sell her steamy story?
KENNEBUNK, Maine Zumba
instructor and single mom moonlights as
hooker.
From the start, the case against Alexis
Wright read like the TV Guide synopsis
for one of those steamy Lifetime made-
for-television movies.
There was Wright, the raven-haired t-
ness instructor who
taught Zumba to soc-
cer moms in a pictur-
esque New England
town while leading a
double life as a pros-
titute with a customer
list that was said to
include prominent
people, all of whom
were secretly video-
taped in the act.
There was also the business partner
who watched via Skype from 100 miles
away. The pizza delivery guy who got an
eyeful when Wright dropped her towel.
And the tenants in Wrights building who
got suspicious about all the moaning and
groaning.
Whether her tale makes it to the small
screen remains to be seen. Wrights
lawyer isnt saying what her client intends
to do. But there is nothing specically in
state law and nothing in the plea bar-
gain she reached with prosecutors that
prevents her from selling her story,
whether in the form of an interview, a
book or a script.
And there is little doubt it has a certain
appeal.
Small-town prostitution ring? Theres
something about that that smells of a
made-for-TV movie, said Peter S.
Fischer, one of the creators of the TV
show Murder, She Wrote, which
starred Angela Lansbury as a mystery
writer and sleuth in ctional Cabot Cove,
Maine.

A 27-year-old man accused of stealing
$4,000 from a Redwood City bank Monday
apologized after his arrest and said he was try-
ing to get money for bills and his mother back
in Mexico, according to prosecutors.
Marco Antonio Rubio-Baez, of Redwood
City, reportedly walked into First Republic
Bank on the 700 block of El Camino on April
1 and gave the teller a note demanding money
within ve minutes. The teller gave the sus-
pect a bag with $4,000 inside and, after trig-
gering the alarm, followed the man out of the
bank. Using his cellphone, the teller gave
police updates on the sus-
pects location and Rubio-
Baez was apprehended
near Sequoia Station.
Redwood City police
reported nding the money
and a small bag of
methamphetamine.
Rubio-Baez told authori-
ties after his arrest that he
robbed the bank to get
money for rent and cell-
phone bills and also to send back to his moth-
er in Mexico, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
At his initial arraignment, Rubio-Baez
asked for a court-appointed attorney and
pleaded not guilty to drug and robbery
charges. He did not waive his right to a speedy
trial and returns to court April 11 for a pre-
liminary hearing. Bail was set at $100,000 and
Rubio-Baez remains in custody.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Stanford University
announced Wednesday that it is joining an
initiative co-founded by Harvard and MIT to
develop a computer system that allows col-
leges to offer free online courses, a collabo-
ration that school officials said would benefit
both educators and students around the
globe.
Stanford already has its own fledgling plat-
form for delivering massive open online
courses, or MOOCS. The university has
decided, however, to suspend work on it in
favor of the system created by the two East
Coast universities as a separate nonprofit
enterprise, called edX, said John Mitchell,
vice provost for online learning and a com-
puter science professor at Stanford.
Stanford still plans to offer some of its
courses through Coursera, a commercial
Internet course provider founded by two
Stanford professors. But with the demand for
online learning increasing rapidly, it makes
sense for academic institutions to team up
instead of compete, Mitchell said.
Together, I think we will have a chance to
produce a much better platform than each of
us would be able to do individually, he said,
adding that the software that emerges from
the alliance has the potential to become the
Linux of online learning.
As part of the collaboration, elements of
Stanfords Class2Go system will be incorpo-
rated into edX before the programs source
code is made available for the asking June 1,
edX President Anant Agarwal said. Since the
first class went up on edX last year, an MIT
electrical engineering class taught by
Agarwal, the founders had always planned to
share it so outside programmers and
researchers could adapt and refine it, he said.
I really believe this will enable true, plan-
et-scale application of online education,
Agarwal said.
While some future Stanford courses will
be produced using edX, Stanford plants to
retain its own online course portal instead of
using the edX website to register students,
which colleges such as the University of
California at Berkeley and the University of
Texas at Austin now do.

Residents will get a chance to ask questions
and share concerns in a community meeting
next week about a new temporary re station
planned as part of a shared services agreement
between the Central County and Millbrae re
departments.
San Bruno, Millbrae, Burlingame and
Hillsborough gave the go-ahead to continue
exploring shared administrative services in
2011. One of the rst steps was creating a tem-
porary station, which could be opening in
Burlingame later this year. Next week, commu-
nity meetings will be held in Millbrae and
Burlingame to discuss the changes that will
come once this new temporary station opens.
The new temporary station will be part of a
plan to consolidate two existing re stations
2832 Hillside Drive in Burlingame and 785
Crestview Drive in Millbrae.
Fire Chief Don Dornell said the meetings
will allow those in the community to ask ques-
tions and gain a better understanding of how
the new station will run. Once operational, the
plan is to monitor operations daily to be sure
service remains at the level currently pro-
posed, he said.
During the community meetings, scheduled
for 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 9 and Wednesday,
April 10, attendees will get an overview of the
data and factors which were considered for the
re station consolidation including each depart-
ments budget, daily stafng, number of calls
for service within the districts, geography, appa-
ratus per square mile, re stations per square
mile, number of re stations per square mile and
travel time to calls for service. Its also a chance
for the public to have questions answered.
Under the consolidated services proposal, sta-
tions in Burlingame and Millbrae would be
closed. A new station would then be placed
somewhere within the three-mile distance
between the two stations. Plans to build such a
station at 1675 Skyline Blvd. in Burlingame
were reviewed by the Planning Commission
last month. It was supposed to return for nal
approval Monday, March 25 but was contin-
ued to allow for community input before nal
approval, said Dornell. The item will go back
before the commission Monday, April 22.
Since 2011, the plan has been to run the
temporary station for about a year to collect
data that would be shared with city councils,
at which point further consolidation could be
considered.
The project, which will be built on
Burlingame-owned land located within the
county jurisdiction, includes a 1,440-square-
foot re house building, 576 square feet of
ofce space and a 2,730-square-foot apparatus
building to house two full-size re trucks with
drive-through capacities, according to a staff
report. A special permit will be required for the
apparatus building which will be 32 feet tall,
two feet higher than the 30 foot height limit in
the area. The structure would be there for no
more than seven years, according to a staff
report. It would have to come back for approval
to become permanent, according to the staff
report.
Public meetings will be held 7 p.m. Tuesday,
April 9 at Burlingame City Hall, 501 Primrose
Road, Burlingame and 7 p.m. Wednesday, April
10 at the Chetcuti Community Room, 450
Poplar Ave., Millbrae.

Report outlines abuse
by state prison staff
By Don Thompson
SACRAMENTO A California parole agent was accused
of soliciting one of his parolees to kill another. Numerous cor-
rections department employees allegedly had sex with
inmates, including juveniles.
And a prison guard was suspected of carousing regularly
with prisoners, even joining them as they drank a form of
booze the inmates manufactured themselves.
The incidents are among 278 cases of alleged employee mis-
conduct detailed in the latest report by the independent inspec-
tor general of the state corrections department.
The abuses highlighted in the reports produced every six
months raise questions about how effectively the state prison
system hires and polices its sworn peace ofcers.
The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has
promised to better follow existing policies and procedures.
But a top prison ofcial said no dramatic policy or training
changes are planned as a result of the reports.
Were pretty comfortable or satised with the level of
screening or prevention that we do already in the department.
We have a pretty high bar as it is, said Martin Hoshino, act-
ing undersecretary for operations.

A public hearing on service cuts and
modications to SamTrans busses along
the Peninsula brought a standing-room
only crowd together Wednesday to plead
with commissioners to keep their bus
routes running.
Nearly 50 community members
packed the San Carlos SamTrans
Headquarters to respond to the draft
SamTrans Service Plan, or SSP, a strate-
gy aimed at improving bus service ef-
ciency, effectiveness and usage and
modifying or discontinuing unused or
underutilized bus routes.
The rst comprehensive study done by
the agency in more than 10 years,
SamTrans planning and development
teams spent more than two years study-
ing ridership patterns to determine some
methods to increase ridership and rev-
enues while bettering service to San
Mateo County communities, according
to April Chan, executive ofcer for plan-
ning and development, who presented
the plan at the hearing.
Throughout the two-year process,
planners have received more than 1,300
comments from the public, most of
which were incorporated into the latest
versions of the plan.
The plan is very comprehensive and
reective of a pretty large amount of
community feedback, said Jayme
Ackemann, SamTrans communications
manager. This has been a highly itera-
tive process and we have come up with
new recommendations and their com-
ments effected change.
SamTrans currently operates 48 bus
routes throughout San Mateo County,
with service to the cities of Palo Alto and
San Francisco. The SSP would make
changes to the existing bus service in
several ways, Chan said.
The SSP aims to improve bus service
along El Camino Real with improved
service and frequency along the north-
south spine of the transit network, Chan
said. This would mean consolidating
Routes 390 and 391, making it one route
between Daly City and Palo Alto every
15 minutes.
The plan also calls for creating an
enhanced core bus network by improv-
ing weekday service the core market
areas of Daly City, South San Francisco,
Redwood City and East Palo Alto to at
least a 15-minute service and improve
east-west connections to El Camino
Real on weekends.
Some service routes will be modied,
Chan said, if it falls into one of three cat-
egories: consolidating services, modify-
ing routes or frequency, and a major
Public meeting draws nearly

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

Obama to return 5
percent of salary to Treasury
WASHINGTON Sharing a bit
of budget pain, President Barack
Obama will return 5 percent of his
salary to the Treasury in a show of
solidarity with federal workers
smarting from government-wide
spending cuts.
Obamas decision grew out of a
desire to share in the sacrice that
government employees are making,
a White House official said
Wednesday. Hundreds of thousands
of workers could be forced to take
unpaid leave known as furloughs
if Congress does not reach an
agreement soon to undo the cuts.
The president is demonstrating
that he will be paying a price, too, as
the White House warns of dire eco-
nomic consequences from the $85
billion in cuts that started to hit fed-
eral programs last month after
Congress failed to stop them. In the
weeks since, the administration has
faced repeated questions about how
the White House itself will be affect-
ed.

HARTFORD, Conn.
Connecticut lawmakers were
expected to approve sweeping new
restrictions on weapons and large-
capacity magazines on Wednesday,
a response to the Newtown school
shooting that will give the state
some of the countrys tightest gun
control laws.
The December massacre of 26
people inside Sandy Hook
Elementary School, which reignited
a national debate on gun control, set
the stage for changes in the state
that may have been impossible else-
where: The governor, who personal-
ly informed parents that their chil-
dren had been killed that day, cham-
pioned the cause, and legislative
leaders, keenly aware of the atten-
tion on the state, struck a bipartisan
agreement they want to serve as a
national model.
The tragedy in Newtown
demands a powerful response,
demands a response that transcends
politics, said Senate President
Donald E. Williams Jr., a Democrat.
It is the strongest and most com-
prehensive bill in the country.
The bill passed the Senate in a
bipartisan 26-10 vote following a
respectful and at times somber six-
hour debate Wednesday evening.
The House of Representatives then
debated the bill and was expected to
vote later in the night. Democratic
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has said he
would sign it into law.
The legislation adds more than
100 rearms to the states assault
weapons ban and creates what of-
cials have called the nations rst
dangerous weapon offender registry
as well as eligibility rules for buy-
ing ammunition. Some parts of the
bill would take effect immediately
after Malloys signature, including
background checks for all rearms
sales.

DENVER Ratcheting up pres-
sure for Congress to limit access to
guns, President Barack Obama said
Wednesday that recent steps by
Colorado to tighten its gun laws show
there doesnt have to be a conict
between keeping citizens safe and
protecting Second Amendment rights
to gun ownership.
I believe there doesnt have to be
a conict in reconciling these reali-
ties, Obama said
in Denver, where
he stepped up his
call for back-
ground checks
for all gun pur-
chases and
renewed his
demand that
Congress at least
vote on banning
assault weapons and limiting access
to large-capacity ammunition maga-
zines.
There doesnt have to be a conict
between protecting our citizens and
protecting our Second Amendment
rights, he said. Obama noted that
more than 100 days have passed
since the shooting rampage that
killed 20 rst-graders and six adults
at an elementary school in Newtown,
Conn., and reignited the national
debate over access to guns.
Every day that we wait to do
something about it even more of our
fellow citizens are stolen from our
lives by a bullet from a gun. Now the
good news is Colorado has already
chosen to do something about it, he
said.
In danger of losing congressional
momentum on the issue, Obama
went to Colorado which has a
deep-rooted hunting tradition and
where gun ownership is a cherished
right to use its example and public
pressure to prod Congress to act.
Colorado suffered two of the worst
mass shootings in U.S. history at
Columbine high school in 1999 and
at a movie theater in Aurora last year.

WASHINGTON Sweeping immigration
legislation taking shape in the Senate will aim
to overhaul the nations agriculture worker
program to create a steady supply of labor for
farmers and growers, who rely more than any
other industry on workers who are living in
the country illegally.
Farm workers already here would get a
speedier path to legal status than other immi-
grants here illegally, and a likely new visa
program would make it easier for foreign
workers to come to the U.S. Policymakers
aim to install such workers in place of the half
or more of the nations farm labor workforce
estimated to be in the country illegally.
Negotiators have been working to nalize
an agreement in time for the measure to be
included in bipartisan legislation expected to
be released next week, but disagreements on
wages and numbers of visas are proving
tough to solve.
Labor groups are accusing growers of push-
ing to lower farmworkers wages, while
growers dispute that and say they want to pay
a fair wage. Meanwhile, labor is resisting
growers attempts to increase the potential
numbers of new workers who would come in,
as growers argue their industrys viability
depends on a strong new labor supply.
It comes down to either were importing
our labor or were importing our food, and if
we dont have access to a legal supply of
labor we will start going offshore, said Kristi
Boswell, director of congressional relations
for the American Farm Bureau Federation.
The issue has gotten little public attention
in an immigration debate focused on securing
the border, creating a path to citizenship for
the 11 million immigrants living in the coun-
try illegally, and designing a new visa pro-
gram for low-skilled workers outside of agri-
culture. But for states from California to
Georgia to Florida with booming agriculture
industries, its a critical part of the puzzle.
At least 50 percent and as much as 70 or 80
percent of the nations farm workers are here
illegally, according to labor and industry esti-
mates. Growers say they need a better way to
hire labor legally, and advocates say workers
can be exploited and need better protections
and a way to earn permanent residence.
One thing that we know is that theres not
an industry that will benet more from a new
immigration program than agriculture, said
Giev Kashkooli, United Farm Workers vice
president. The problem is industry needs
people who are both willing and able to do
the work. And its difcult work.
The reason agriculture uses so much illegal
labor has to do with the need for workers, but
also the inadequacy of current immigration
programs. There is a 10-month visa program
for farm workers, called the H2A visa, but
growers argue its so hard to use that once
theyve completed the paperwork whatever
crop they needed picked may well have with-
ered.
There were about 55,000 H2A visas issued
in 2011, representing a small percentage of
the nations approximately 2 million farm
workers.
Part of the solution, growers and unions
say, is to create a more permanent agricultur-
al workforce. Senators would likely accom-
plish this by giving a new blue card visa
granting legal status to farm workers whove
worked in the industry for at least two years
and intend to remain in it for at least ve
years more.

WASHINGTON The Pentagon
said Wednesday it was deploying a
missile defense shield to Guam to
protect the U.S. and its allies in the
region in response to increasingly
hostile rhetoric from North Korea.
The North renewed its threat to
launch a nuclear attack on the
United States.
The threat issued by the General
Staff of the Korean Peoples Army
capped a week of psychological
warfare and military muscle moves
by both sides that have rattled the
region.
On Wednesday, the Pentagon
announced it will deploy a land-
based, high-altitude missile defense
system to Guam to strengthen the
Asia-Pacific regions protections
against a possible attack.
Pyongyang, for its part, said that
Americas ever-escalating hostile
policy toward North Korea will be
smashed by the Norths nuclear
strike and the merciless operation
of its armed forces.
The U.S. had better ponder over
the prevailing grave situation, said
the translated statement, which was
issued before the Pentagon
announced plans to send a missile
defense shield to Guam.
The Pentagon had no immediate
reaction to the latest statement, but
earlier Wednesday Defense
Secretary Chuck Hagel labeled
North Koreas rhetoric as a real,
clear danger and threat to the U.S.
and its Asia-Pacic allies. And he
said the U.S. is doing all it can to
defuse the situation, echoing com-
ments a day earlier by Secretary of
State John Kerry.
Some of the actions theyve
taken over the last few weeks pres-
ent a real and clear danger and
threat to the interests, certainly of
our allies, starting with South Korea
and Japan and also the threats that
the North Koreans have leveled
directly at the United States regard-
ing our base in Guam, threatened
Hawaii, threatened the West Coast
of the United States, Hagel said.

Letters to the editor
The New York Times
P
resident Barack Obama ofcially
announced his new brain research
initiative on Tuesday, with a pledge
to put $100 million in his 2014 budget to
support work at three federal agencies. It is a
modest but welcome start for an effort that
could transform our understanding of how
the brain works and help researchers nd
new ways to treat and prevent brain disorders
like epilepsy and Alzheimers.
The ultimate aim is to learn how the brain
generates thoughts, dreams, memories, per-
ceptions and other mental images; how it
stores and retrieves vast quantities of data;
and how it learns from experience or educa-
tion. More immediately, the aim is to gener-
ate new technologies in data processing, nan-
otechnology, optogenetics and other esoteric
elds to study how billions of brain cells and
complex neural circuits interact.
The $100 million will be split among the
National Institutes of Health, the lead agency
for biomedical research; the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency, which
has a strong interest in treating soldiers with
brain injuries; and the National Science
Foundation, which supports a broad range of
research in numerous elds. Federal ofcials
say $100 million in the rst year will be suf-
cient to convene expert groups to identify
worthwhile projects and to collaborate with
private donors who are also pouring millions
into brain research.
Some researchers think a higher level of
nancing perhaps $300 million in federal
support annually will be needed over the
next decade to make substantial progress. For
now, Obamas challenge to the nations
research community to get started is a big
leap forward.
The status quo will be maintained
Editor,
The shining city on the hill was political
rhetoric. It was Ronald Reagans poetic
attempt to justify granting citizenship to mil-
lions of illegal immigrants. The Doors, he
said, are open to everyone with the energy
and the will, and the heart to get in. It was
that misplaced sentiment which initiated our
current immigration crisis.
For 25 years, our elected ofcial complied.
They keep the doors at the border open. The
businessman was allowed to illegally employ
the immigrants with impunity. Yet none of
the participants not the elected ofcials,
not the businessman and not the immigrants,
have been indicted. Its as if no crime has
been committed. Nevertheless, there are 12
million illegal immigrants that live and work
in this country. So a crime has, indeed, been
committed. A crime against the people. They
are its only victims. But this crime will never
be prosecuted. The peoples ofcials who
perpetrated this crime are in charge of its res-
olution. All the participants are expected to
be exonerated. And, therefore, the status quo
which is cheap labor for the businessman
will be maintained. The immigrants will
be placed on the path toward citizenship. And
then the victims who inhabit the shinning
city on the hill can re-elect their ofcials for
solving the crime their ofcials committed.

Editor,
I nd it interesting that Sams Sandwiches
has now been described as a part of the
heart and history of Burlingame.
Really? While you can get a decent sand-
wich there, it is hardly iconic. What troubles
me is the growing tendency of legislative
bodies at all levels to pick winners and losers
in what should be a free marketplace: espe-
cially when tax dollars are involved (and,
yes, lowering the rent is an expenditure of
public funds). This is particularly ironic in
Burlingame, where it is extremely difcult to
even attempt to open a new food service
business. Letter writers Mr. Reitsma and Ms.
Buckley may be correct that it made sense
for the community to act to save this busi-
ness. However, the proper way to help was
the original attempt to raise private funds.
But why bother with that when you can dip
into the public treasury? It truly does pay to
have friends in high places. Mr. Sanzio
recently called it political arrogance. He
was right!

maker by supporting ofceholders and those

be the right thing to do.

Sale of our common wealth
Editor,
The citizens of our nation are being robbed
of a decent standard of living and of our
long-held domestic programs like welfare,
education, pensions, public parks and proper-
ly maintained transit and infrastructure,
which are being cut to the chant of
Austerity! As we fall farther into a major
and long lasting depression, the only segment
of our economy recovering is the banking
industry that produces nothing but debt.
They are doing just swell because our federal
government is making regular gifts to them
of trillions of dollars with no strings
attached.
What we the citizens own as our common
wealth is our parks, schools, community hos-
pitals and post ofces, and now they are
being put up for grabs to the wealthy and
greedy few. No longer can we go to the
museum without paying, or to a national park
or a local beach. We have to pay to use what
belongs to us. The current attack on City
College in San Francisco is an example of
the wave of privatization of our common
wealth. That which belongs to us all is being
sold to wealthy individuals.
Regarding the story, City seeks more con-
trol on post ofce plan in the April 3 edition
of the Daily Journal, if that public building,
now held in our common wealth, is bigger
than is needed by the post ofce, some other
public agency can use the space in the public
interest. The nearby parking lot is our com-
mon wealth as well and must not be sold to
cause us the expense of building a two-level
parking structure and a new post ofce
somewhere in the area. Better yet, dont
sell our post ofce. We must protect our
common wealth.

Government humor?
Editor,
I happened to be at the government center
in Redwood City on business yesterday.
Knowing I would be there, I decided to take
along my property tax payment which is due
in a few days. Our county tax collectors
ofce faces the lobby of building 555.
Directly to the right is a narrow hallway with
signs sending those with payments down the
hallway to an ofce at the back of the build-
ing. As you approach that ofce there is
another sign for the chapel located next
door. I am not sure what a chapel is doing
in a government building but it did seem
amusing if you have one to locate it next to
the tax collectors payment ofce, although
putting it in the court building just across the
plaza might improve business.

Foreign concept
T
he illegal immigrant is now, for all
intents and purposes, an alien concept.
On Tuesday, the Associated Press the
Bible of newspaper style guidelines that cut
across political leanings and personal prefer-
ences alerted newsrooms that the term ille-
gal immigrant has
now been replaced
by immigrants
who live in or enter
a country illegally
or without legal
permission.
Specically, jour-
nalists are told out-
side of direct
quotes to use illegal
only in reference to
an action but not a
person. The terms
illegal alien, an ille-
gal, illegals or
undocumented are also getting the boot.
In other words, its not who you are, its
what you do. And even if you do something
that is prohibited under current law, god forbid
you dare be dened by it.
The Associated Press standards are an ever-
evolving set of rules and, even with this
switch, the organization concedes even more
change to the language of immigration is
expected down the road. Thats fair; even the
dictionary makes amendments.
But if the Associated Press is so gung ho
about what it deems as progress, why are
reporters still spelling out compact disc on
rst reference as though readers think music
reviews are really alluding to certicates of
deposit? And cellphone still dont under-
stand how that became one word along with
website.
The real problem with this illegal immigrant
change is that there is no accurate but brief
replacement word or term. As anybody who
has ever tried crafting a headline or succinctly
writing a lead sentence to a news story knows,
brevity is more than the soul of wit. Brevity is
a requirement when working with a lot of
information in a limited space. Immigrants
who entered the country illegally is just a bit
wordy. Undocumented or undocumented
worker could both be incorrect. Not every
immigrant works and plenty have documents,
just not the paperwork needed to reside in the
United States legally.
Immigrant advocates may hail the switch as
a victory but changing the words doesnt
change their status and it doesnt change the
current laws.
But if illegal alien or illegal immigrant is
now uncouth, what then?
Wily wanderers? Resident afoul of the bor-
der? Stealthy tourists? Uninvited guests?
Replacement neighbors? Country squatters?
Perhaps, a page out of Harry Potter would
sufce Those Who Shall Not Be Named.
The land of free speech is becoming the land
of free to say anything, but not things that
might rub somebody the wrong way.
For its part, the Associated Press decision-
makers (oh wait, I mean executives who make
style decisions) claim the change is an overall
move away from labels, calling them a way for
lazy reporters to pigeonhole folks. Side note,
nobody is any longer schizophrenic. They are
people diagnosed with schizophrenia. Marilyn
Monroe was not a bombshell blonde. She was
an actress with platinum tresses.
And that pesky 1 percent? Chances are they
will soon change from the rich to those
with extra disposable income who are chal-
lenged by those who occupy.
In that vein, I will no longer report on mur-
derers. I will report on individuals who just
happen to murder people. Wouldnt want to
put O.J. Simpson and Scott Peterson in a box.
I will not write about city ofcials but men

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK Weak reports on hir-
ing and service industries sent the stock
market sharply lower Wednesday, giving
the Dow Jones industrial average its
worst day in more than a month.
The Dow fell 111.66 points, or 0.8
percent, to 14,550.35, its worst decline
since Feb. 25. The Standard & Poors
500 index dropped 16.56 points, or 1.1
percent, to 1,553.69. Both indexes
closed at record highs the day before.
The stock market started 2013 with a
rally as investors became more opti-
mistic about the U.S. economy, especial-
ly housing and jobs. The reports
Wednesday disappointed the market and
came two days after news that U.S. man-
ufacturing growth slowed unexpectedly
last month.
The losses were widespread. All 10
industry groups in the S&P 500 index
fell. Banks and energy stocks had the
worst losses, 1.7 percent and 1.6 percent.
Utilities, which investors hold when they
want to play it safe, fell the least, 0.3
percent.
The market is overdue for a correc-
tion, said Joe Saluzzi at Themis
Trading. I dont think that the economy
supports this type of a rally.
Signs of investor skittishness appeared
across a number of different markets.
Commodities slumped. Crude oil
dropped $2.74, or 2.8 percent, to close at
$94.45 a barrel and industrial metals like
copper fell.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note
fell to 1.81 percent from 1.86 percent,
the lowest level for the benchmark rate
since January. The decline means
investors are moving money into low-
risk U.S. government debt.
The Russell 2000 index, which tracks
small company stocks, fell for a third
straight day, dropping 1.7 percent. Its
now down 3.5 percent so far this week,
far worse than the declines in the Dow,
0.2 percent, and the S&P, 1 percent.
Thats another signal that investors may
be becoming more bearish about the
U.S. economy.
Small company stocks, which did bet-
ter than the Dow and the S&P 500 in the
rst three months of the year, are more
sensitive to the outlook for the U.S.
economy than the larger companies in
the Dow and S&P. Thats because they
rely far more on domestic sales than
global giants like IBM and Caterpillar,
which sells heavy machinery and con-
struction equipment around the globe.
The Dow Jones Transportation
Average, an index of 20 stocks including
airlines like Delta and freight companies
FedEx and UPS, fell more than 1 percent
for a third straight day. The index, which
is regarded as a leading indicator for
broader market indexes as well as the
economy, has fallen 3.9 percent this
week, after surging 17.9 percent in the
rst quarter.
U.S. service companies kept growing
at a solid pace in March, but the expan-
sion was less than economists were
expecting. The Institute for Supply
Managements index of service compa-
nies fell to 54.4 from 56 a month earlier.
The report was the weakest in seven
months.
Separately, payrolls processor ADP
reported that U.S. employers added
158,000 jobs last month, down from
Februarys gain of 237,000. The ADP
report is often seen as a preview for the
governments broader survey on
employment, which is due out Friday.
The slowdown in hiring was due in
part to construction rms holding back
on adding new employees. That sent the
stocks of homebuilders lower.
PulteGroup fell 85 cent, or 4.3 percent,
to $19.01 and D.R. Horton dropped 57
cents to $22.84.
Weak economic reports send stock market lower

SIEM REAP, Cambodia Googles rst
high-end laptop, the Chromebook Pixel, is an
impressive machine. It feels light and comfort-
able in my hands and on my lap. Its high-res-
olution display makes photos look sharp and
video come to life. From a hardware stand-
point, its everything Id want a laptop to be.
But the Pixel isnt very practical at least
not yet for most people. It works well when
you have a steady Internet connection, but
cant do much once you lose that connection.
And because it uses Googles own operating
system, it doesnt run enough software yet to
replace your other machines.
I brought the Pixel along for a nearly three-
week trip to Thailand and Cambodia, where I
knew I wouldnt have the type of round-the-
clock access Im used to in the U.S. I was sur-
prised by how much I could do, but quickly
got frustrated when I couldnt do more.
Such frustration doesnt come cheap. Prices
for the Pixel start at $1,299, just $200 less than
a MacBook with a comparable screen and the
ability to do much more ofine. A higher-end
Pixel with cellular access costs $150 more
than the basic model and is scheduled to start
shipping Monday.
For those unfamiliar with Googles entry
into the laptop market I guess thats many
of you the Pixel and other Chromebooks
run a Google operating system called Chrome
OS. Based on the Chrome Web browser avail-
able for Windows and Mac computers,
Chrome OS underscores Googles vision of
letting the Internet do all the heavy lifting
instead of your computer.
As a result, you can power up and start
working on the Chromebook right away. Boot
time is minimal because theres not a lot of
software to load. Those functions are pulled
from the Internet as needed. That also means
updates come regularly and dont need any
installation on your part.
Theres not a lot of storage on the machine
either. The idea is to keep as much as you can
online, through a storage service such as
Google Drive or Dropbox.
Think of the Chromebook as a gateway to
the Internet. You can download apps from
Google and others to run on the Chromebook,
but many of those apps do little more than
access a website on your Chrome browser
when youre online.
Google laptop impressive, but not for all
Intel CEO gets $18.9M
pay package in final year
SAN FRANCISCO Intel CEO Paul Otellini received
a pay package valued at $18.9 million last year as he pre-
pared to retire, bowing out from a challenge posed by the
growing popularity of mobile devices that have curtailed
the demand for the companys personal computer chips.
The amount disclosed in a Wednesday regulatory filing
represents a 10 percent increase from Otellinis total com-
pensation in 2011, based on a formula used by the
Associated Press. The uptick stemmed from the size of the
Intel stock awards and options that Otellini got last year.
Those could end up being worth more or less than the com-
panys estimated values, depending on how Intels recent-
ly slumping stock fares in the future.
Intel Corp.s board wasnt entirely satisfied with
Otellinis performance last year. To reflect its disappoint-
ment, the boards compensation committee trimmed the
cash portion of Otellinis incentive pay by 19 percent from
the previous year to $5.23 million.
EMarketer: Facebook
U.S. mobile ad revenue soaring
NEW YORK A research firm says it expects
Facebooks mobile ad revenue to soar this year, hitting
nearly $1 billion a year after the company started to splice
ads into its users mobile phones and tablet computers.
Wednesdays forecast comes a day before Facebook
holds an event to unveil a new Android product.
Speculation has centered on a mobile phone, made by HTC
Corp., that deeply integrates Facebook into the Android
operating system. The move comes as Facebook works to
evolve from its Web-based roots to a mobile-first com-
pany, as its mantra goes.
EMarketer said it expects Facebook Inc. to reap $965
million in U.S. mobile ad revenue in 2013. Thats about
2.5 times the $391 million in 2012, the first year that
Facebook started showing mobile ads.

STILL IN 6TH: WARRIORS TAKE DOWN HORNETS, GRIP ON PLAYOFF SPOT GETS TIGHTER >>> PAGE 12
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The hunt to ll the Menlo College football
head coaching void has concluded and a face
familiar to the Bay Area and Menlo commu-
nity will take the helm as the schools newest
head coach.
Menlo Director of Athletics Keith Spataro
announced Tuesday that former San Jose
Sabercats quarterback Mark Grieb has been
named the newest Menlo head football coach.
Grieb, a 1996 graduate of the University of
California at Davis, makes his return to the
Oaks football program following two brief
stints as an assistant coach. In 2003 he served
as the teams offensive coordinator and in
2011 he headed up the receiving corps as a
position coach.
From 1999 to 2012, Grieb spent 12 success-
ful seasons as the quarterback of the San Jose
SaberCats of the Arena Football League
where he led the squad to three Arena Bowl
championships, earning Most Valuable Player
honors in 2004 and 2007. He earned Maxwell
Club Arena Football
Player of the Year honors
in 2004.
We pride ourselves in
being a program with
champions of character,
Spataro said. Above all,
we wanted to nd a head
coach that was in line with
those character traits. And
secondary to that, we
wanted to nd someone
who had a true passion for teaching espe-
cially the sport of football. Its a daunting task
to get out there with 105 men every day and
try to get them in go in the same direction.
Theres got to be a calmness to you. But at the
same time, there has to be a presence to you.
And I think Mark reects those things.
It was a long process, Grieb said. I think
the athletic director and the athletic staff did a
great job in being thorough with the process. I
know they a bunch of applications so I didnt
know how it was going to go, to be honest. So,
Menlo College hires former AFL star Grieb as new football coach
W
ith the San Francisco Giants hav-
ing signed catcher Buster Posey to
a long-term deal, the Giants have a
number of key pieces locked up for the foresee-
able future, with Posey, and pitchers Matt Cain
and Madison Bumgarner all in San Francisco
for the next several years.
But the Giants brass will have a major deci-
sion to make this year and again in a couple
more. This is the last year of the Tim Lincecum
two-year, $44-million
deal he signed, mean-
ing hell be a free agent
at the end of year. Third
baseman Pablo
Sandovals extension
will be up at the end of
next year, giving Giants
management another
tough decision.
What to do? The
Lincecum situation is a
lot more cut and dry
a good performance
this season will trans-
late into a big contract, either with the Giants or
elsewhere. Even with a strong 2013, I would
expect the Giants to be cautious with
Lincecum. Having already assigned nearly
$300 million to Posey and Cain for the better
part of the next decade, it wouldnt be surpris-
ing to hear they might not have the money to
sign Lincecum to a huge, long-term contract.
Given Lincecums preference for shorter term
deals so far, anyway the Giants might
get away with something reasonable to retain
Lincecum maybe a three-year, $40 to $50
million deal. At least it will give both Lincecum
and the team time to prove that 2012 really was
a uke.
The team will have a much tougher decision
on Sandoval. On the plus side, Sandoval
appears to be one of those talents who was
born to hit a baseball. On the negative side is
his plus size. Sandoval is quickly entering that
eating his way out of league discussion. Do
the Giants really want to sign a 300-pound

There is a method to El Caminos madness.
At rst glance, the Colts non-league sched-
ule opened a lot of eyes because of the quality
of opponent manager Victor Messer put in
front of his baseball team. And on paper, with
El Camino in the PALs Ocean Division,
games against the likes of Serra, Riordan,
Burlingame and Sacred Heart Prep for exam-
ple, looked like mismatches.
But consider that of El Caminos eight loss-
es, six have come against teams that suppos-
edly are better than the Colts. And in those
games, the average margin of defeat less than
two runs.
So while there might be some Peninsula
Athletic League baseball fans surprised by El
Caminos latest win, a 3-1 decision over Bay
Division contender Hillsdale High School, no
one that wears the red and gray nds anything
surprising about it.
Thats what were trying to do. Thats why
we put this schedule together like we did,
Messer said. Hillsdale is a great ball club. We
scheduled all these schools so we can try to
get ourselves better prepared for league
against a higher level of competition. All those
teams are good and hopefully someone will
see were just as good as they are. No disre-
spect to our league, because there are some
great teams in our league too, but we put this
schedule together because we want to play
that better competition.
Messers commitment to playing tougher
teams early on has paid off so far for the Colts.
El Camino currently sits at 4-0 in Ocean play.
All four of those wins were blowouts the
Colts out-scored Jefferson and San Mateo by a
combined 56-4, or an average of 14-1 per
game.
Against Hillsdale, the Colts played a clean
baseball game. They committed one error to
the Knights three. And while Hillsdale man-
ager Neal Donohoe has preached for weeks
his team must do the little things right to win
El Camino tops Hillsdale

The Rock is ready to roll into WrestleMania
as a dual champion.
Hes the reigning king of the box ofce after
G.I. Joe: Retaliation stormed to $40.5 million
over the weekend to become the No. 1 movie.
And in the ring, hes walking tall as WWE
champ.
Everything Dwayne The Rock Johnson
touches these days turns to gold, from the lm
franchises he whips into blockbusters, to the dia-
mond-encrusted WWE championship belt he
drapes over his shoulder before he hits the ring
to lay the smack down one
more time in his triumphant
return to the company.
Johnson is set for his lat-
est starring role when he
defends his title against
John Cena at WrestleMania
29 on Sunday at MetLife
Stadium in East Rutherford,
N.J. The main event
rematch is the pinnacle for
the sports entertainment powerhouse and one of
the most popular spectator sports in America.
Its the biggest show of my career, the 40-
year-old Johnson said.
Johnson has the sequel
market cornered, exing his
box ofce muscle in fran-
chise lms as Fast Five,
The Mummy Returns,
Journey 2: The Mysterious
Island and now G.I. Joe:
Retaliation.
Hes ready to prove
another one of his sequels
can top the original when
he faces Cena on Sunday.
In his rst singles match since 2004, Johnson
defeated Cena last year at Sun Life Stadium in
Miami in a WrestleMania main event billed as
Once in a Lifetime.
Well, that tagline may as well be Once a
Year.
Hard to believe a professional wrestling com-
pany would stretch truth in advertising, but the
two became set for a return bout once Rock beat
C.M. Punk at Januarys Royal Rumble to win
the championship and Cena won the 30-man
Rumble to become the No. 1 contender.
Johnson said the rematch made sense because
it was still the biggest money match the promo-
tion could offer in the Super Bowl of sports
entertainment.

LOS ANGELES Tim Lincecum walked
seven, matching a career worst, yet still man-
aged to get the win when Pablo Sandoval and
Hunter Pence homered to lead the San
Francisco Giants to a 5-3
victory over the Los
Angeles Dodgers on
Wednesday night in the
rubber game of their sea-
son-opening series.
Lincecum (1-0) threw
91 pitches in ve innings,
but limited the Dodgers to
two unearned runs and
three hits. He struck out
four while outperforming
Josh Beckett in a matchup of marquee pitch-
ers coming off the worst season of their
respective careers.
Beckett (0-1) was charged with ve runs,
three earned, and six hits in six innings. Carl
Crawford had three hits and scored a run for
Los Angeles.
Lincecum won Cy Young Awards in 2008
and 2009 and led the NL in strikeouts for
three consecutive years. But the right-hander
was 10-15 with a 5.18 ERA last season, then
was relegated to bullpen duty in the playoffs
allowing an earned run and three hits in 13
innings with 17 strikeouts.
Lincecum, embarking on the nal year of a
two-year, $40.5 million contract, was the
Giants opening day pitcher in each of the pre-
vious four seasons. The 28-year-old right-
hander missed two starts in spring training
because of a blister problem and was slotted
behind Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner in
the rotation.
Beckett was the World Series MVP with
Florida in 2003 and the ALCS MVP with
Boston in 2007 his only 20-win season.
But the 32-year-old right-hander was 7-14
with a 4.65 ERA in a combined 28 starts last
season with the Red Sox and Dodgers after he
was acquired in a blockbuster nine-player
trade on Aug. 25.
Pence gave the defending World Series
champions a 5-2 cushion in the sixth with a
line-drive solo homer to right-center.
Jose Mijares relieved Lincecum in the sixth
and threw 11 pitches without recording an
out. He loaded the bases by hitting Skip
Schumaker with a 1-2 pitch that caromed off
his shoulder and over the home plate screen.
Matt Kemp, who was 0 for 2 in bases-
loaded situations and hitless in four at-bats,
grounded into a double play against George
Kontos as Mark Ellis scored. Javier Lopez
then came in and struck out Adrian Gonzalez.
Giants win, take series from L.A.
OAKLAND Jed Lowrie and Chris
Young hit back-to-back home runs in the sev-
enth inning, helping Tommy Milone and the
Oakland Athletics beat the Seattle Mariners 6-
2 on Wednesday night.
Nate Freiman had two hits and an RBI in
his major league debut as Oakland knocked
around Joe Saunders and two relievers after
managing just one run and six hits in the rst
two games of the series.
Franklin Gutierrez and Michael Morse
homered in the rst, but Milone settled down
and retired 17 of his nal 18 batters while
pitching seven innings. It was the third homer
in two games for Morse, a key offseason
acquisition for the Mariners.
Lowrie, acquired in a trade from Houston
just before the start of spring training, went 3
for 3 with a walk and three RBIs. His
tiebreaking two-run double off Saunders in
the fourth put the As ahead for good.
Oakland had seven extra-base hits overall:
ve doubles and two home runs. Eight As had
at least one hit while four drove in at least one
run.
It was quite a difference from the rst two
games, though manager Bob Melvin didnt
seem too concerned with his clubs slow start.
Milone (1-0) allowed only one baserunner
after the second inning, nishing with one
walk and four strikeouts. Sean Doolittle
pitched the eighth and Chris Resop worked
the ninth to complete the ve-hitter.
Gutierrez got the Mariners off to a nice start
when he hit the fourth pitch from Milone over
the wall in left for his second career leadoff
homer. Morse, who led the majors with nine
home runs in spring training, tacked on a two-
out drive to center.
Freimans rst career hit got Oakland on the
board in the second. But the rookie rst base-
man was thrown out at the plate trying to
score on Scott Sizemores double to left.
Freiman later singled in the fourth then
made a sliding catch in front of the photogra-
phers well near Seattles dugout in the fth.
Saunders (0-1) ran his pitch count up in the
third when he yielded a leadoff double to
Coco Crisp, then walked Lowrie and Young.
Yoenis Cespedes drove in Crisp with a sacri-
ce y to center, but Saunders limited the
damage from there.
The As went up 4-2 in the fourth on
Lowries double to left-center after Josh
Reddick doubled and Crisp reached on a eld-
ers choice.

Giants 5, Dodgers 3

OAKLAND David Lee had 23 points
and 16 rebounds, Stephen Curry added 20
points and nine assists, and the Golden State
Warriors shook off a slow start to ease past the
New Orleans Hornets 98-88 on Wednesday
night.
Jarrett Jack nished with 19 points and
eight assists off the bench against his former
team to keep the Warriors in sixth place in the
Western Conference playoff chase. Golden
State (43-32) remained one game ahead of
Houston (42-33), which won 112-102 at
Sacramento.
The Rockets own the tiebreaker after going
3-1 against the Warriors this season.
Eric Gordon scored 21 points and Robin
Lopez had 17 points and seven rebounds for
the Hornets, who were swept 4-0 by the
Warriors this season. New Orleans led by 11
points in the second quarter before the
Warriors surged ahead for good.
The playoff chase has been evident all over
Golden States faces literally.
Center Andrew Bogut convinced his team-
mates not to shave until the nal regular-sea-
son game at Portland on April 17 as a way of
bonding during the playoff push. Golden State
closed the homestand 4-1.
With shadows and scruff starting to show,
the playoff picture also is becoming clearer.
The Warriors are four games in front of the
eighth-place Los Angeles Lakers and 4 1/2
games ahead of the Utah Jazz.

Tim Lincecum
when I got the call, I was extremely excited
about this opportunity to be a head football
coach at Menlo College. I really look forward
to going to back. It should be a great experi-
ence.
Aside from playing professionally, Grieb
has spent the last 10 years coaching in various
capacities. He spent a pair of seasons as an
assistant coach at his alma mater, U.C. Davis.
While receiving his masters of arts degree
in science education from Stanford University
in 2001, Grieb was a graduate assistant under
Tyrone Willingham.
Aside from his two stints with Menlo, Grieb
has also spent time as an assistant coach at
Monterey Peninsula College and Foothill
College.
[Being a head coach] is something that
Ive thought about ... I guess, its something
that I thought would come further down the
line. I didnt think it was something that
would happen so quickly. But it has and Im
excited. I think its a great t for me, being
from this area.
During his time in the AFL, Grieb launched
an assault on the AFLs career record books,
inking his name in the top-three in six career
offensive categories including: Most passes
completed in a career, completion percentage,
passing yards, touchdown passes, most passes
attempted and most seasons as the league
leader in passing yards.
He was the rst player in AFL history to
throw for more than 4,000 yards in seven-
straight seasons and the only player in league
history to throw for 70-plus scores in nine
straight seasons.
During his last two seasons with the team,
Grieb rolled into a role as both a player and
coordinator, running offensive meetings and
practices and leading offseason workouts for
teammates under head coach Darren Arbet
and offensive coordinator Terry Malley.
Grieb takes over for Mark Speckman, who
accepted a job with the Montreal Alouettes of
the Canadian Football League after a 4-6 sea-
son with the Oaks.
It was a good process, Spartaro said. Our
staff worked really hard to get the process
done fast. We were able to turn in over in fair
amount of time.
Menlo has not had a winning season since
2003 when the Oaks went 7-3. Since then, the
Oaks are 24-61.
I didnt expect it, Grieb said. But Im
ready for the challenge. Being a head coach is
a huge responsibility.
I think that Menlo College really has
everything it need to be successful. I think if
we can trust one another and work together
and we treat each other well, that the football
is going to come, the winning is going to
come.
A San Jose native, Grieb was a three-sport
standout at San Joses Oak Grove High
School. He went on to receive a bachelor of
science degree in biochemistry from U.C.
Davis. He has spent the last year teaching
chemistry at Leland High School in San Jose
and currently resides in San Carlos with his
wife, Erin and twin daughters.

By choosing cremation you have many options. You can
have a viewing before the cremation, a memorial service
or visitation, even a graveside service. Afterward, the
container can be buried, stored in a columbarium, or
cherished as a keepsake, or there is the option of
scattering the cremated remains.
The choices are almost endless,

He had the numbers to back it up. With one
full year of hype, Rock-Cena drew 1.217 mil-
lion pay-per-view buys last year and another
78,363 packed Sun Life Stadium on the
strength of the match. Much like the Final Four
or World Series, the WrestleMania brand is
almost guaranteed to ll a stadium before a
match is announced. Its getting fans at home to
plunk down at least $59.95 for the standard def-
inition broadcast that can truly stuff the coffers.
Rock means revenue. Rock means ratings,
WWE Hall of Famer Booker T said. The Rock
is great, not just a great performer, but he is a
great ambassador for this business.
With shows tailored around The Rock, the
last two WrestleManias have topped 1 million
buys. The WWE expects to hit that mark again
Sunday.
The Rock had a wrestling ring set up wher-
ever he was on location lming movies, his pri-
vate training camps a part of the grind neces-
sary to keep his spot as the biggest dual threat
in entertainment.
I always knew he loved the business, Cena
said. He loves it so much now that he really is
the busiest person in the history of the WWE.
Hes everywhere at once. He can do everything
and still compete as WWE champion.
Rock was in position to call his shots and he
picked Cena for his return feud over Punk or
any other superstar on the roster. For all the
trash talking in the ring, theres a deep respect
in real life between two wrestlers who know
how to carry the global sports entertainment
empire.
Hes been the No. 1 guy in the company for
many years now, and has managed to maintain
a genuine, optimistic love for the business,
Johnson said. Often times, inherently, what
the business creates is pessimism over time,
and unhappiness. John has been able to stay
above that, not get lost in the garbage, and not
get lost in the noise. Hes very focused, very
committed. Theres an X-factor about John that
moves an audience.
Rock is among four key stars including
Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker and Triple H
who work a scaled back schedule with main
event slots waiting for their returns. The four
have combined for ve pay-per-view matches
since last years WrestleMania, the kind of
work-rate wrestlers on a punishing 200-day-a-
year schedule could appreciate more than any
ve-star match. Amid gripes Rock takes a head-
line position that could go to a full-time
wrester, Cena said Johnson has earned that
spot.
I wish we had one guy with 10 percent of
his vision and his aspiration, he said. When
he gets a small opportunity, he kicks the damn
door down and owns the horse. Often times
here, we have superstars that remind me of a
hamster on the treadmill and those are the guys
that usually complain. I dont take too kindly to
them. Im fortunate Rocks here and Im glad
hes here. He can show up whenever he wants.

SAN JOSE Dan Boyle scored on a spec-
tacular end-to-end rush with a two-man
advantage to help the San Jose Sharks win
their sixth straight game, 4-2 over the
Minnesota Wild on Wednesday night.
Marty Havlat got the scoring started for San
Jose and Joe Thornton broke a tie with a goal
off the skate of a Minnesota defender late in
the second period. TJ Galiardi also scored and
Antti Niemi made 31 saves to help the Sharks
move into a tie for fourth place in the Western
Conference.
Charlie Coyle and Dany Heatley scored for
the Wild, who lost for the third time in four
games following a seven-game winning
streak. Niklas Backstrom made 29 saves as
Minnesota lost consecutive games for the rst
time since Feb. 12-14 to fall into a tie for the
Northwest Division lead with Vancouver.
Both teams made moves earlier in the day
before the trade deadline with Minnesota
acquiring forward Jason Pominville from
Buffalo and the Sharks getting forward Raf
Torres from Phoenix.

ball games, it was an error in the fourth that
opened the gate for El Camino.
Hillsdale jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the
second following a Michael Camel home run.
But the blast was one of just four hits the
Knights would manage the entire game off of
starting pitcher Dante Ordonez, and relievers
Javier Espinoza and Dominic Aparicio, who
came in tight spots and prevented the Knights
from scoring.
A lot of things happened today, Messer
said. Our pitching has been doing really well.
We got some key moments when our pitching
came through and did a great job.
Just throw strikes, get ahead and go after
them, Ordonez said when asked what the key
to his rst win of the year was. It takes one or
two innings to get into my groove the rst
three batters. If I can get through them, I can
get through anyone.
Hes been pitching some great games for
us, Messer said. He did well against Serra
earlier this year. So, we knew he could do well
and we knew this is a good hitting ball club.
And he came out and did his job. Our pitching
did really good today.
El Camino got the support it needed in the
fourth following a walk to Dominic Liuliani
and a single by Nick Moisant. El Camino plat-
ed those base runners thanks in large part to a
pair of Hillsdale throwing errors.
We had some great at-bats today, Messer
said. We try to preach putting the ball in play,
contact, doing the little things we need to do
to win. Thats how we play. Were not going to
come up and hit the 900-foot home run all the
time. Were going to do the the little things.
And today, it just worked out. We took advan-
tage of the situation. We didnt plan for it. We
just happened to be in the right place at the
right time.
Aparicio was responsible for thwarthing
Hillsdales most serious equalizing threath in
the fth. The Knights loaded the bases ahead
of the heart of their order. But Aparicio got
Taran Poss to y out in shallow left and then
played hockey goalkeeper and kept a Camel
smash in front of him to retire big No. 24 at
rst.
El Camino added an insurance run in the
seventh thanks to a Josh Eclavea sacrice y
to centereld.
Theyre good, Ordonez said of Hillsdale.
Were good. Im condent about our team.
We arent (intimidated). Theyre another team
to us. Were condent in our team.
COLTS
third baseman to a long-term, big-money deal?
Management cant be happy with Sandovals Ill
get my weight under control in a couple years
comment, which means he wont get into shape
until his walk year. Its not what you want to hear
from a possible franchise player.
In my opinion, I wouldnt make any huge
commitments to either player. Both still need to
prove they are elite-level players, both now and
going forward.
***
How good is Sharks general manager Doug
Wilson? Not only has he made several, well-
timed moves trades to pick up draft picks
he still has the Sharks in playoff contention.
There was a thought as San Jose has struggled
in this lockout-shortened season that Wilson
would blow up the team and go into a full
rebuilding mode. Things werent looking good as
he dealt defenseman Douglas Murray to
Pittsburgh. The thought was that was just the rst
shoe to drop. Since then, however, the Sharks
have won four in a row, are in the sixth spot if the
playoffs started today and still have a shot to
move up to as high as a No. 4 seed.
All the while, Wilson continues to wheel and
deal. He sent an underperforming Ryane Clowe
to the New York Rangers Tuesday for draft picks
and then ipped a conditional draft pick to reac-
quire former Sharks defenseman Scott Hannan
and another draft choice for rugged forward Raf
Torres, one of the toughest and some might
say dirtiest players in the NHL.
Its not often a team trades away major pieces
and still stays in the playoff hunt. That is a testa-
ment to Wilson.
***
Speaking of GMs, is there any area in the
country that has better general managers than
those plying their trade here in the Bay Area? San
Francisco Giants GM Brian Sabean, the longest
tenured GM in Major League Baseball, has
brought two World Series title to the city by the
Bay.
Across that small expanse of water is Oakland
As GM Billy Beane, who has done more with
less than any general manager probably in histo-
ry. The jury is still out on the As neighbor,
Golden State Warriors GM Bob Myers, but con-
sidering the Warriors are in a good position to
make the playoffs this season, it appears Myers
knows what he is doing.
Oaklands other tenant, the Raiders, had a mess
to deal with when Reggie McKenzie took over
the head man spot. The early returns have not
been all that great, but give the man some time.
He was very well regarded in Green Bay and,
considering the depths the Raiders have been in,
its going to take a few years for McKenzie to
turn around that ship.
Then there is San Francisco 49ers GM Trent
Baalke, who has only returned the 49ers to their
former glory and turned the team back into a
Super Bowl contender in just a few short years.

Exonerated LB Banks
signs with the Atlanta Falcons
ATLANTA Brian Banks said signing
with the Atlanta Falcons is his second-biggest
accomplishment.
The biggest was Banks exoneration of rape
charges one year ago.
Banks, 27, signed with the Falcons on
Wednesday, giving him an opportunity he said
he did not believe would be possible when he
spent ve years in prison and ve years on
probation following his conviction of rape and
kidnapping charges a decade ago.
I felt at the time in order for me to exit
prison with a sane mind and be able to just
function as a person I had to let go of certain
dreams and goals I once held in life, football
being one of them, Banks said. I cant
believe this is happening. Its surreal.
Banks was a 16-year-old junior and had
made a verbal commitment to sign with
Southern Cal when a Long Beach Poly high
school classmate accused him of the rape.
The woman recanted her claim and offered
to help Banks clear his name after he was out
of prison. That helped lead to the conviction
being overturned by a California court and
Banks record cleared on May 12, 2012.
Banks said he read every book he could nd
while in prison and also learned to value every
opportunity.

WORLD
Taliban attack Afghan
courthouse, 53 dead
By Kim Gamel
KABUL, Afghanistan Insurgents wearing Afghan army
uniforms launched a suicide attack and stormed a courthouse
Wednesday in a failed bid to free Taliban inmates, killing at least
44 people, half of them shot in the basement. Nine attackers were
killed.
The attack one of the deadliest in the more than 11-year-old
war began about 8:30 a.m. when nine men wearing suicide
vests drove into the capital of Farah province in western
Afghanistan, evading checkpoints by using army vehicles,
according to the provincial police chief. The standoff ended
some eight hours later when the last gunman was killed.
Insurgents have stepped up assaults targeting the Farah provin-
cial government in recent months as they vie for control of an
area bordering Iran to the west and Helmand province to the east.
Farah has become increasingly volatile as the site of a growing
drug trade after military offensives in neighboring areas.
The Taliban seem to be exploiting the opium harvest and the
unpopular eradication efforts by the government to further estab-
lish their presence, Fabrizio Foschini, of the independent
research group Afghan Analysts Network, said in a recent blog.
Militants have staged high-prole complex attacks across
Afghanistan in a bid to show their strength and undermine con-
dence in the central government.
Wednesdays assault was among the most brutal for civilians,
raising fears of deteriorating security as international combat
forces withdraw by the end of 2014 and hand over control to
Afghan security forces.

BEIJING In a worrisome sign, a
bird u in China appears to have mutat-
ed so that it can spread to other animals,
raising the potential for a bigger threat
to people, scientists said Wednesday.
So far the u has sickened nine people
in China and killed three. Its not clear
how they became infected, but theres
no evidence that the virus is spreading
easily among people.
But the virus can evidently move
through poultry without making them
sick, experts said, making it difcult to
track the germ in ocks.
The ndings are preliminary and need
further testing.
In the wake of the illnesses, the
Chinese Center for Disease Control and
Prevention shared the genetic sequence
of the H7N9 virus with other scientists
to help study how the virus might
behave in different animals and situa-
tions.
One scientist said the sequence raises
concern about a potential global epi-
demic, but that its impossible to give a
precise estimate of how likely that is.
At this stage its still unlikely to
become a pandemic, said Richard
Webby, director of a World Health
Organization flu center at St. Jude
Childrens Research Hospital in
Memphis, Tenn.
We should be concerned (but) theres
no alarm bells ringing yet, he said.
The virus has genetic markers that
would help it infect people, Webby said.
That makes him worry about a pandem-
ic a bit more than he does for other bird
u viruses, such as the H5N1 virus that
emerged a decade ago, he said.
The tentative assessment of this
virus is that it may cause human infec-
tion or epidemic, said Dr. Masato
Tashiro, director of the WHOs inuen-
za research center in Tokyo and one of
the specialists who studied the genetic
data, It is still not yet adapted to
humans completely, but important fac-
tors have already changed.

GENEVA It is one of the cosmos
most mysterious unsolved cases: dark
matter. It is supposedly what holds the
universe together. We cant see it, but
scientists are pretty sure its out there.
Led by a dogged, Nobel Prize-win-
ning gumshoe who has spent 18 years on
the case, scientists put a $2 billion detec-
tor aboard the International Space
Station to try to track down the stuff.
And after two years, the rst evidence
came in Wednesday: tantalizing cosmic
footprints that seem to have been left by
dark matter.
But the evidence isnt enough to
declare the case closed. The footprints
could have come from another, more
conventional suspect: a pulsar, or a rotat-
ing, radiation-emitting star.
The Sam Spade in the investigation,
physicist and Nobel laureate Sam Ting
of the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, said he expects a more
denitive answer in a matter of months.
He condently promised: There is no
question were going to solve this prob-
lem.
Its a tantalizing hint, said California
Institute of Technology physicist Sean
Carroll, who was not part of the team.
Its a sign of something.

By Melissa Rayworth
Warm weather and the rst buds of spring
have been slow to arrive in much of the coun-
try. But even if your garden has yet to grow,
you can add beauty, fragrance and a sense of
springtime to your home by decorating with
lush plants and potted trees.
Decorating with plants kind of fell out of
vogue for a time, says California-based inte-
rior designer Molly Luetkemeyer. It was
such a 70s thing, or I think people associated
it with the 70s, but its become popular
again in recent years.
Today, designer spaces pretty much
always include some element of life, says
interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn, founder
of decordemon.com. While that can be any-
thing from coral to tortoise shells, pressed
leaves or even a tiny bowl with a goldsh, the
most common way to add life is with potted
plants and trees.
Weve asked Flynn, Luetkemeyer and Betsy
Burnham of Burnham Design in Los Angeles
for advice on choosing the right plants, pot-
ting them perfectly and keeping them bloom-
ing with minimal effort.
WHERE TO START?
Talking to someone at a nursery is a really
good idea, says Burnham, because employ-
ees at garden stores and plant nurseries are
usually glad to answer questions about choos-
ing and caring for plants.
You can choose plants based on the spot in
your home where youd like to keep them
(sundrenched windowsills, shady corners or
in-between spaces that get a mix of sun and
shade). Or you can select a plant you love and
then ask for advice on where to place it.
If you have pets or small children, ask
whether a plant youre considering is poison-
ous. And if you want plants that need very lit-
tle attention, dont be shy about saying so.
While Im a fan of making a big statement
with greenery, Flynn says, Im only inter-
ested in plants and trees that are low-mainte-
nance. Give me something that requires daily
care and/or delicate grooming, and its most
likely to go from green to brown or black in
less than 72 hours.
FABULOUS FERNS
All three designers like ferns, such as the
maidenhair. Theyre so delicate and soft,
says Luetkemeyer. Theyre fresh, and theyre
that pale green thats the beginning green of
spring.
Maidenhairs are fairly easy to care for:
They need to be watered, she says, but if
you water them, they hang around.
Consider grouping several together in small
pots or buying just one large fern.
They can ground a space grouped together
in odd numbers in pots of varied heights on
the oor, Flynn says. Or you can use them
to add life high up in a room with hanging
basket planters. And then they also look
excellent potted and placed on a pedestal, cof-
fee table or console table.
If you want something larger and bolder
than the delicate maidenhair, Flynn suggests
the staghorn fern. Just remember that all ferns
do best in shade rather than direct sunlight.
FLOWERING PLANTS
I love plants that ower in the spring, says
Luetkemeyer, who recommends daffodils,
narcissus and hyacinth.
She also loves gardenia plants for their
heady fragrance and shiny leaves. But they do
require a bit of effort.
Any plant thats a woody plant, with a
wood thats exposed, is going to be a little bit
trickier, she says. Consider researching gar-
denias online to learn how much water and
how much light your plant will need.
And with all potted plants, Luetkemeyer
suggests placing a dish underneath the pot to
catch and maintain the water, then placing a
coaster underneath the dish to protect the fur-

niture or oor.
POTTED TREES
A statement tree, says Burnham, adds
height to your room, and plays with the light
at a window.
Her clients in southern California often opt
for the color and fragrance of small citrus
trees in their homes or at the entrance to a
patio or yard.
They require light and require water,
Burnham says, but they have fabulous oral
blooms in addition to the color of the fruit.
Flynn also suggests g trees: Fiddle leaf
g trees are, hands down, my favorite, he
says. Theyre super architectural and almost
kind of minimalist. Since these grow straight
upwards, theyre perfect for corners or ank-
ing a replace or focal point without growing
out and over it.
I also use ddle leaf g trees in unexpect-
ed places, he says, just to add a big burst of
life into an otherwise utilitarian space such as
a bathroom or even ofces. The key to using
them successfully is ensuring they dont come
into contact with direct light, and that theyre
not exposed to dry heat.
COUNTERTOP HERBS
This might be a great time to put some
herbs in your kitchen, Luetkemeyer says.
Many grocery stores and nurseries sell herb
plants such as mint or basil that are already
blooming in small plastic pots. You can re-pot
them into more attractive containers, then
cluster several together on a countertop.
PERFECT POTTING
What you plant something in makes just as
much of a statement as the tree or plant itself,
says Burnham.
Take time shopping for exactly what you
want. Add a little extra effort, she says, and
you get a really chic little addition to your
room.
One simple approach is to put the plant
into a fabulous low basket and cover it with
reindeer moss, Burnham says. You dont see
the soil, and dont see the plastic container
inside.
Luetkemeyer agrees that its worth taking
time to choose the right pots: You can take
the same plant and pot it four different ways
and it creates four different vibes, she says. A
pot is sort of like the frame on the piece of
art. It sets the tone.
NON-PLANT GREENERY
If you dont wish to commit to even a low-
maintenance plant, Flynn suggests you work
in fruits in decorative ways.
Oranges, clementines, apples and limes ...
look excellent grouped in vessels, he says.
The key to getting it right is to separate them,
and not have different types of fruit within the
same grouping. My favorite way to use fruit
decoratively is by placing them in apothecary
jars in different heights and sizes.
Whatever kind you choose, Flynn is sure
youll be happier if you add some kind of
greenery to your home.
Whether youve got all the time in the
world to care for something or just want to be
able to squirt a water bottle on your way out
the door, he says, theres denitely some-
thing out there for you.

parole one day.
Tatad was also originally charged with
aggravated mayhem and domestic violence.
She was scheduled for trial April 15 but now
instead returns to court May 17 for sentenc-
ing.
Tatad and her husband Ronie, 36, were
divorced but living together. In her mind, he
had promised to remarry her and bring their
children back from the Philippines once they
saved enough money but, two weeks prior to
the scalding, she walked in on him and his
girlfriend, May said.
This was festering, May said.
At approximately 10:50 a.m. Nov. 26, 2011,
Tatad boiled a pot of water which she poured
on his face and upper body. The sleeping man
reportedly awoke in intense pain and tried
running to the bathroom for safety. The man
managed to ee the second-story apartment
on Coronado Avenue and found a security
guard who called police.
Ronie Tatad was treated for second- and
third-degree burns on more than 60 percent of
his face. He initially told the guard and police
Tatad attacked him with the water and hit him
over the head with a baseball bat when he
tried escaping but was sedated by physicians
due to the pain and gave no further statements
before he died Dec. 9, 2011.
Tatad denied hitting him with the bat and
the autopsy did not conrm any head trauma.
May said the defense position is that she
picked up the bat in defense because he was a
wild man after being scalded but did not
deliberately swing at him.
Tatad has no prior criminal history in San
Mateo County and there were no previous
police calls for domestic violence between the
pair.
Authorities still arent clear either if Tatad
meant to kill the man when she deliberately
boiled and poured the water although intent
isnt required for a murder charge.
Other than her conduct, we dont have any
evidence she was plotting his death, Guidotti
said.
Tatad acted intentionally but never intended
to kill him and is distraught, May said.
She knows that she caused the death of the
only man she ever loved, he said.
Tatad remains in custody without bail.

SUBURBAN LIVING 19
By Laura Jofre
My husband and I were city folks with
two young children, excited to be buying a
house in the suburbs: Rooms and oors!
Our own driveway! Our front yard, tiny
though it is! We even got two trees: one in
the front and one in the back.
Theres no trash on our street, was the
rst thing my 5-year-old daughter said.
Not only was there no trash, there were no
shouters, loiterers or urine smells: Nothing
to be wary of. There were no downstairs
neighbors complaining about the racket,
and no upstairs neighbors blasting music
while moving furniture. No more airshaft
views through pigeon poo windows or
laundry-room roach fears: Life would be a
bucolic celebration of the seasons and
open spaces. We bought garden tools.
Shortly after we moved in the spring, we
heard a persistent knocking that recalled
our old noise-averse downstairs neighbor.
It turned out to be a black-and-white
woodpecker with a jaunty red cap, who
systematically drilled circular holes in our
brown wooden shingles. We went from
admiring the bird to banging on the win-
dow to squirting it with a water gun (rain!
It shivered in delight), to xing a fake owl
to the roof.
It wasnt scared. It pecked straight
through the shingle and ew back to the
tree. It turns out that one of the wood-
peckers natural adaptations, to protect
itself from pecking-induced brain dam-
age, is to have a very small brain.
A neighbor advised us to paint our
house a less tree-like color.
Maybe there was something unpalatable
about our trees. The one behind the house
had ants all over it, which thrilled the kids.
Look, Mom, theyre going right in! That
didnt seem right. I grabbed a stick I
was sort of excited that we even had sticks
and tentatively poked the bark. My
stick encountered no resistance for several
rotten inches. The arborist said it should
come down.
So, suburban nature was not carefree.
Still, there were daffodils, there was bird-
song, there was grass. And we had our lit-
tle house to clean and paint and decorate,
because it was, for once, our own place.
We relished our private pod of family life.
My father came to see the house one day
that spring; as we approached the front
door from outside, my father said calmly,
Thats probably termites. I may have
screamed. The invasion covered roughly a
third of the door.
Termites! I had heard of them: They ate
houses. Why wasnt my father alarmed?
Theyll be gone in an hour, he said.
They left behind only a few wings as evi-
dence of their cavorting. I kicked them off
my doorstep.
The next spring, I was more prepared.
We planted a new tree, enjoyed our cro-
cuses. The woodpecker kept knocking and
we kept trying to turn him away, like sea-
soned naturalists who know a pest from a
prize. We also acquired a robin who
bashed against our window in a daily
brawl with its reection. The window held.
But when spring, in its indiscriminate
energy, actually entered my house, well, I
lost it.
It was a warm day, and the kids and I
were heading out to the paradise of our
yard. We approached our front door, from
the inside, and found it seemingly covered
with a grayish brown blanket. As it came
into focus, I saw the blanket was actually a
moving, squirming mass of termites.
Ew, Mommy, look at the door!
shrieked my daughter.
Are those bugs? asked my son, 3, fas-
cinated.
Oh, it was horrifying. There were just so
many. Some of them were ying. And they
were on the wrong side of the door. Nature
was ne, woodpeckers and rotten trees
were ne: They were all outside.
I hustled the kids down to the playroom.
You guys want to watch TV? I asked.
And Ill see if those silly bugs want to go
outside? Do you think theyre lost? The
kids nodded slowly, skeptically, and I
strolled out of the room, practically hum-
ming in my composure.
Then I sprinted, face averted, past the
front door. I found the yellow pages and
the biggest ad for pest control, and dialed
with shaking ngers.
The nice lady I spoke to advised me to
vacuum the termites, as if it were that easy.
She waited as I wildly waved the vacuum
hose at the door, trying to accomplish the
job from the distance of the hose length,
with my head turned away and my eyes
closed. Nothing doing. I had to get up
close, grit my teeth, and vacuum those
suckers.
What do I do with the vacuum bag? I
imagined the termites all crawling around
in there, becoming angry, plotting.
Well, I would throw it away, she said.
Eventually, we would replace a section
of plywood wall hidden beneath our front
steps where the termites had found their
own homey bliss.
And stay out! Suburbanite vs. Spring

February, a 7.2 percent increase over last
year.
For year-to-date numbers, total rider-
ship is up 11.3 percent; average weekday
ridership is up 11.9 percent; and total
farebox revenue is up 16.6 percent this
year compared to last year.
Average Caltrain shuttle ridership is
also up 16 percent over last year, accord-
ing to the staff report.
On-time performance for the month,
however, was 93.5 percent, down from
94.6 percent last year.
A couple of promotions last month
also helped boost ridership including
Giants FanFest when an extra 5,393 rid-
ers took the train on a Saturday. Sharks
fans are also taking the train to HP
Pavilion in San Jose as average ridership
is up 14.7 percent on game night,
according to the staff report.
When the JPB took over the operation
of Caltrain in June 1992, average week-
day ridership was 20,161. Since then,
ridership has increased nearly 150 per-
cent.
Caltrain has released a How to Ride
video to accommodate all its new riders.

Before his departure Thursday after-
noon, Obama will be in the Peninsula for
two fundraisers to benefit the
Democratic National Committee.
The rst will be a $32,000-a-head
brunch at the Atherton home of Liz
Simons and Mark Heising. The presi-
dent will then visit the home of Marcia
and John Goldman. The cheapest tickets
to that event cost $1,000.
Activists opposing the Keystone XL
pipeline, including the Raging Grannies,
will be in Atherton on Thursday and plan
to hold an 8:15 a.m. rally on Valparaiso
Avenue, near Alameda de las Pulgas.
Other local groups have been holding
rallies around the Bay Area this week to
pressure Congress and Obama to push
through a comprehensive immigration
reform package.
Obama will take off from SFO
Thursday afternoon. The president was
last in the Bay Area during his re-elec-
tion campaign in October.
OBAMA
By Matthew Lee
WASHINGTON Yikes! It seems
The Daily Show and diplomacy dont
mix.
Thats the lesson the U.S. Embassy in
Cairo is learning the hard way after
being rebuked by both the Egyptian
government and the State Department
for causing an international incident.
The embassy tweeted a link to a Jon
Stewart monologue that mocked
Egypts president offending the
Egyptians and then deleted its entire
Twitter account before restoring it with-
out the post in question, irritating
Washington.
Egyptian President Mohammed
Morsis ofce called the tweet inappro-
priate and unbecoming of a diplomatic
mission while the State Department said
the unusual affair was the result of
glitches in the embassys social media
policies that are now being corrected.
The imbroglio over the tweet comes
at a time of rising tensions between
Cairo and Washington, which has
expressed deep concerns that Morsis
government is backsliding on human
rights protections.
And, it underscores the pitfalls of
allowing individual American
embassies to control the messages they
disseminate through social media.
The trouble began on Tuesday when
the embassy posted a link to Stewarts
monologue on his Comedy Central
show the night before. Stewart took sav-
age aim at Morsi for the arrest and inter-
rogation of Egyptian comic Bassam
Youssef, who has frequently criticized
the president on a popular television
program that has been likened to
Stewarts own.
Tweet about Daily Show boomerangs on U.S. Embassy
reduction of service to downtown San
Francisco, according to SSP documents.
Routes 123 in the North Bay, 280 in
East Palo Alto and 359 along El Camino
in the Central County are all recom-
mended for discontinuation based on
duplications with other routes, Chan
said, although route 280 could receive a
reprieve depending on the citys shuttle
service.
Lastly, the plan calls for the introduc-
tion of alternative service pilot programs
in San Carlos and Pacica to test an
alternative model with a flexible,
demand-response service.
Many in attendance represented adults
with special needs or challenges, or sen-
iors, all worried about being stranded
without transportation or having to walk
a greater distance should their route be
modied or discontinued.
Laura Lorenger said for 37 years she
has ridden the 260 bus, which serves
Belmont and San Carlos, every day to
her Community Gatepath Adult Day
Care Center in San Carlos. She voiced
concern about the changes.
I am concerned about my accessibili-
ty. Will a shuttle stop at the bus stop,
she asked the board.
William Ames Farrell voiced his fear
in losing route 295, which he says would
force him to walk a great distance on
dark, unpaved sections of the road where
he could get hit by a car or become a vic-
tim of crime. Reductions to this route
could force him to walk two miles to
catch the bus at El Camino Real in
Menlo Park.
I ride it to work every day, Farrell
said. I am not up for something new, I
am up to ght for it the people with
special needs and challenges cannot
walk there it is unsafe for us.
Foster City resident Patrica
Niederhofer came to the meeting repre-
senting other Foster City seniors, who,
like her, rely on the bus service to get
around.
Losing our bus service in Foster City
would present a hardship for those who
ride busses in the city, she said.
Jay Rohas with the Caada College
students union said his classmates fear a
reduction in service from Redwood
Citys Sequoia Station to the college at
the top of Farm Hill Boulevard in
Redwood City. Reading three letters
from his peers, Rohas said, its just
another obstacle to overcome to gradu-
ate.
The public has until April 15 to com-
ment on the SSP before it is nalized
with further recommendations and
brought to the board for a vote on May 1.
If it passes, the plan will not be imple-
mented until fall at the earliest.
But until then, Ackemann said,
SamTrans planners will look closely at
the comments presented Wednesday and
that they receive in the coming weeks.
We will look closely at all of [the]
comments before rendering any deci-
sions, she said. If there is a transit-
dependent group, we want to make sure
that we dont leave them without critical
lifeline services.
Additional comments on the plan are
due by April 15. To view the plan and
find out ways to comment go to

aries (March 21-April 19) -- Offering unsolicited
advice is risky at best, so if you do so anyway,
make sure the recipient knows that its just a
suggestion. You dont want to be held accountable
for unpleasantness.
TaUrUs (April 20-May 20) -- Youre likely to have
rigid ideas about how things should be done, so any
input from a friend or associate could be disruptive.
Try to keep an open mind.
GeMini (May 21-June 20) -- It isnt always smart to
try to do something the way another does, even if
that persons work is excellent. Whats viable for him
or her might not be a good ft for you.
CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- Try to avoid a risky
fnancial arrangement that you know little about and
have little control over. Now is not the time to take
chances.
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- An old, unresolved
disagreement between you and your special
someone could rear its ugly head if you allow it.
Letting outsiders into your business could make
matters worse.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Labors of love are likely
to be handled with remarkable skill, but, by the
same token, you might not want to be identifed with
something that you dislike but are required to do.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Even though your
earning potential is excellent, the way you manage
your affairs may not be up to snuff. Try to bring your
A-game to everything you take on.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- In order to complete
what you start, you need to put limitations on how
much you attempt to do. Work on one assignment at
a time, and proceed slowly and cautiously.
saGiTTariUs (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Instead of trying
to rectify anothers erroneous perception of you,
youre likely to let it go unchallenged and brood
about the injustice being done to you. Why?
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be on guard,
because there is reason to believe that you could be
the target of an expert manipulator. Speak up and
dont be a victim.
aQUariUs (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be careful not to do
anything that could offend someone important to
you. You may think your behavior is funny, but the
person who pays your salary is likely to be ticked off.
PisCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- As always, you
will have a choice of how you view developments:
positively or negatively. Dont envision failure when
its just as easy to see success.
