Civil grand jury gives
crime lab high marks

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The county’s crime lab gets high
marks from the civil grand jury
which lauds its recent accreditation
but recommends developing a way
for law enforcement and prosecutors
to better track evidence.
The San Mateo County Forensic
Laboratory doesn’t provide regular
training to local law enforcement
agencies on new forensic techniques
or have a secure online way for
authorities to get and give up-to-
date information on the state of
cases under investigation, the grand
jury concluded in a report released
yesterday.

Peninsula gets voice on high-speed rail board Police reports
By Jon Mays
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Former Redwood City mayor Jim Hartnett
was named to the California High-Speed Rail
Authority Board of Directors by California
Senate President Darrell Steinberg yesterday.
Hartnett is also the former chair of the
Caltrain Joint Powers Board and San Mateo
County Transit District Board. While he
strongly supports the idea of high-speed rail
for several reasons including the environment
and the ability to create jobs, he said he has
concerns about its financial projections and
logistics.
“It’s a system that is controversial, certainly
on the Peninsula, but not just on the
Peninsula,” he said. “You can’t just build it
because you want to.”
He has yet to be sworn in, but expects to be
before the next authority meeting May 5. And
for right now, he said he is in listening mode.
LOCAL
“There’s lots to catch up
on. I’m anxious to roll up
my sleeves and provide a
fresh set of eyes and ears
and I’ll be calling it like I
see it,” he said.
The high-speed rail
board’s membership has
changed in the past few
Jim Hartnett months with former state
senator and San Mateo
County judge Quentin Kopp leaving. He was
replaced by Robert Balgenorth, president of
the California Building and Construction
Trades Council.
Late last year, the California High-Speed
Rail Authority announced it would build the
first segment of its 520-mile span from San
Francisco to Los Angeles and Anaheim in the
Central Valley. It later agreed to extend that
segment from the small town of Borden,
through Corcoran to Bakersfield. The approx-
imated cost of the entire plan is $43 billion,
though some say that is a low estimate. The
decision to build the first segment alleviated
some pressure locally from those concerned
about the authority’s plans to construct the
line on elevated platforms in some areas of the
densely populated Peninsula.
Many had called for a local representative
on the statewide board. That includes
Burlingame Mayor Terry Nagel, whose City
Council initially fought hard against the pro-
posal. Nagel said she was pleased by the
announcement.
“I think it’s great to have representation on
the Peninsula,” she said. “[Hartnett] is very
knowledgeable on transportation issues ... I
hope he will be open to all the concerns of the
cities and be able to come up to speed quick-
ly.”
Voters approved Proposition 1A, a $9.5 bil-
lion bond to help fund the high-speed rail
project, on the November 2008 ballot.

SamTrans installs new electronic
signs with real-time information
The San Mateo County Transit District has installed new
electronic signs that display real-time bus departure infor-
mation, agency officials said.
The signs are now operating at Sequoia Station in
Redwood City and at the Colma, Daly City and Millbrae
BART stations.
They show the bus route number, the final destination and
the scheduled departure time from those stations.
A GPS system determines the exact location of the bus,
SamTrans officials said. If the bus is running late, the sign
displays a countdown to the actual departure time.
The sign will read “due” two minutes before the bus will
depart, and “no bus service” if no bus is scheduled to depart
within the hour, according to SamTrans.
The signs will also make audio announcements, including
departure times, bus detours, schedule changes and other
high-priority messages.
This real-time information will also be available on the
information website 511.org, SamTrans officials said.
The $1.3 million project was funded by voter-approved
Regional Measure 2 funds, according to the agency.

Governor going on tour
Brown,GOP to hit the road with budget message
By Juliet Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Gov. Jerry Brown is
preparing to take his budget appeal directly to
voters, holding at least two events in Southern
California that he says will be the start of a
tour to sell his plan for maintaining a series of
temporary tax hikes to plug a remaining $15.4
billion deficit.
The Democratic governor will have compa-
ny on the road: The state Republican Party
also was launching a tour Thursday. GOP offi-
cials said it is intended to counter the gover-
nor’s claim that deeper cuts to public schools,
higher education, law enforcement and other
programs are coming unless voters get the
chance to renew the tax increases.
“Should we be sitting here and saying we’re
going to close school for two months? From
my perspective, that’s a disingenuous conver-
sation,” said Assembly Minority Leader
Connie Conway, R-Tulare.
She planned to appear Thursday night in

Governor signs San Bruno tax relief bill
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Victims of the San Bruno gas pipeline
explosion got a bit of tax relief yesterday after
Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill authored by
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo.
Assembly Bill 50 exempts from state taxes
the disaster relief payments that victims
received from Pacific Gas and Electric
Company, the American Red Cross and the
city of San Bruno after the Sept. 9 disaster.
Also under the bill, owners who sold their
homes to PG&E following the disaster will
not have to pay capital gains taxes on the sale
of their home if the money is used to buy
another home within five years.
The explosion, which killed eight people,
destroyed or damaged dozens of homes and
caused more than $55 million in property
damage.
At least 668 residents, who received rough-
ly $10 million in aid, will benefit from the leg-
islation, which was expedited through the

But he said this week he is still hoping to

tion on the taxes. No one, including Brown,

even if he gets the needed votes.

election is the presidential primary in
February 2012.
Brown is hoping to put the pressure on
Republicans by laying out possible budget
Legislature and sent to the
governor prior to April 15
so that victims of the dis-
aster would not face an
added tax burden on their
2010 returns.
“Nothing will compen-
sate the residents of San
Bruno for the suffering
Jerry Hill they’ve gone through,”
Hill said in a prepared
statement. “This bill simply treats relief pay-
ments associated with the explosion as quali-
fied disaster relief payments so victims aren’t
burdened with thousands of dollars in addi-
tional taxes.”
In the days following the explosion, PG&E
began making payments ranging from
$15,000 to $50,000 to help displaced residents
cover immediate day-to-day expenses such as
temporary housing, food and transportation.
Hill introduced his legislation after resi-
dents who attended a town hall he hosted in
December expressed concerns about being
a preliminary hearing for
May 27 with a one-hour
estimate.
Bell did not return an
inquiry about his client’s
case.
Authorities began
investigating Chu, who
formerly worked as an
Yung Chi Chu information technology
technician for the Menlo
Park City Elementary School District, last
fall after the girl’s parents grew concerned
she was receiving hundreds of cellphone
calls and text messages from Chu, often
cuts that communities could face in an all-cuts
budget — although neither Democrats nor
Republicans are likely to vote for such a pro-
posal.
“It will have a devastating effect if that’s all
cuts — to schools, university, to the mentally
ill, that puts them all on the streets, and to law
enforcement, to probation, to sheriffs. It’s
unacceptable,” the governor told a meeting of
law enforcement officials in Sacramento this
week. “I know the people — when faced with
the true cuts and knowing what they are or
extending the taxes they’re already paying —
hopefully they’re going to vote to continue to
fund a decent level of government.”
Brown scheduled an appearance Friday at
an elementary school in Riverside, a
Republican area of the state that is represent-
ed in the Legislature by Assemblyman Kevin
Jeffries, R-Lake Elsinore, and Senate
Minority Leader Bob Dutton, R-Rancho
Cucamonga.
The governor ended talks after meeting with
Dutton, who presented a seven-page
Republican wish list.
taxed on that money as well as other aid.
Last year, former governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger signed Hill’s Assembly Bill
X6 11, which allowed San Bruno homeown-
ers who had qualified for a $7,000 state prop-
erty tax exemption to still receive that write-
off even if their homes were destroyed as a
result of the Sept. 9 gas pipe explosion.
The measure also allowed homeowners and
business owners to deduct income losses
resulting from the explosion and fire. In addi-
tion, the bill provided assistance to the city of
San Bruno, local schools and San Mateo
County by requiring the state to backfill first-
year local revenue losses resulting from
downward reassessment of taxpayers affected
by the disaster, according to Hill’s office.
Residents who have questions on how to
take advantage of the tax relief legislation

Prosecutors say Chu fondled the girl on
multiple occasions and sent her photos of
naked men. He allegedly also asked the girl
to send him nude photos of herself but she
refused. Police arrested at home on a
$250,000 warrant.
He is charged with 12 counts of lewd and
lascivious behavior with a minor under 14,
one count of sending harmful matter with
the intent of seducing a minor and another of
communicating with a minor with intent to
commit a lewd offense.

Local briefs
Dad acquitted of hurting baby
Jurors deliberated two days before acquit-
ting a San Bruno father of felony child cruelty
and assault charges filed
by prosecutors who
believed his 15-month-old
son’s brain injuries were
caused by shaking more
than two years ago.
Anthony Charles
Malone, 25, was also
acquitted of misdemeanor
assault, which was a lesser Anthony
option for the jury. Malone
Conviction of the charges
carried up to six years in prison.
Authorities charged Malone on Dec. 19,
2008, eight days after his roommate called 911,
to report the boy rolled onto the carpeted floor
from 14 inches above. Malone said he was in the
kitchen fetching a bottle and found his son face
down and motionless. The child’s mother was
reportedly at school at the time of the incident.
The child was taken to the local Kaiser
Hospital and transferred to the intensive care
unit at Kaiser Hospital in Oakland. Doctors
reported the child suffered a subdural hematoma
and post-traumatic seizure. Physicians also
found a pre-existing subdural hematoma — a
sign prosecutors said showed a previously
inflicted injury — and concluded the new injury
could not have been caused by a fall from the
bed to carpeted floor. Instead, they said the
baby’s retinal hemorrhaging was consistent with
shaken baby injury. Malone had been free from
custody on a $100,000 property bond.
Fall attempted murder trial set
A man charged, along with a teenage accom-
plice, with stabbing a man near downtown
San Mateo last summer because he wore a
rival gang’s color will stand trial in October
for attempted murder.
Rogelio Adonay Gastelum, 20, is also
charged with malice, assault with a deadly
weapon and acting to benefit a street gang. He
pleaded not guilty in Superior Court and will
stand trial Oct. 24. Meanwhile, criminal pro-
ceedings remain suspended for alleged
accomplice Jonathan Medina, 15, until doc-
tors determine if he is able to aid in his own
defense or should be hospitalized as incompe-
tent. Doctors’ reports are due back May 11.
According to prosecutors, on July 15, 2010,
Gastelum, then 19, and Medina, then 14, mis-
takenly believed one of four men leaving the
Project 90 treatment program were Sureños
because he wore a blue shirt. One of the
defendants allegedly yelled and flashed
Norteño signs before they assaulted the 21-
year-old man and another. The victim was
stabbed seven times in the torso — by
Medina, according to prosecutors — and
required emergency surgery to survive.

WASHINGTON — Those yearly

It’s an effort to save money and steer

The government is working to

If that fails, the agency will resume

“We’ll provide it, we expect, one

Assembly OKs bill on
hospitals’ seismic upgrades
SACRAMENTO — The disaster
in Japan gave state lawmakers some
pause Thursday, but they went
ahead with legislation to put off the
date when hospitals must prove they
can survive an earthquake.
The state Assembly passed SB90,
which allows hospitals to apply for a
seven-year extension of the deadline
to meet seismic safety requirements.
The current deadline for most hospi-
tals is 2013. It now goes to
Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown.
The measure will give the Office
of Statewide Health Planning and
Development, which regulates seis-
mic compliance, “more tools to
scrutinize hospitals on a case-by-
case basis, first and foremost on
structural safety,” said Democratic
Assemblyman William Monning of
Monterey.
Monning, who presented the bill,
said the office would grant exten-
sions based on a hospital’s structur-
al integrity, construction budget to
meet safety requirements, and prox-
imity to other hospitals.

Shutdown talks yield no deal
By David Espo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Time grow-
ing short, President Barack Obama
and congressional leaders failed to
reach agreement Thursday night
on a compromise to cut spending
and head off a midnight Friday
government shutdown that no one
claimed to want.
Obama, House Speaker John
Boehner and Senate Majority
Leader all said the differences had
been narrowed in a pair of White
House meetings during the day.
They directed their aides to work
through the night in pursuit of a
deal.
“I expect an answer in the morn-
ing,” Obama said in an appearance
in the White House briefing room
shortly after the meeting ended.
The comments capped a day in
which the president, Reid and
Boehner bargained and blustered
by turns, struggling to settle their
differences over spending cuts and
other issues at the same time they
maneuvered to avoid any political
blame if they failed.
With the economy just now
beginning to create jobs in large
numbers, the president said a shut-
down would damage the recovery,
adding that “for us to go back-
wards because Washington could-
n’t get its act together is just unac-
ceptable.

go out. Medicare would still pay claims for
recipients,but payments to doctors and hospitals
could be delayed if the shutdown were
prolonged.
Mail: Deliveries as usual (U.S. postal operations
are not subsidized by tax dollars).
Recreation: National parks around the country
would be gated. The National Zoo and
Smithsonian in Washington, too. The White
House says a shutdown would cancel the
popular National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade
in the nation’s capital this weekend, though
organizers are still hoping to go ahead.
Taxes and loans: The IRS would not process
paper returns, but the filing deadline would
remain April 18 — already delayed three days
because of a local holiday in Washington. It’s
unclear whether taxpayer help lines would be
staffed. Tax audits would be suspended. The
Federal Housing Administration, which
guarantees about 30 percent of home
mortgages, would stop that work. Action on

ELECTION
Continued from page 1
vidually were held to help the Daily Journal
determine endorsements. To allow each candi-
date a forum to express their opinions on the
issues discussed, candidates were given the
same five questions and asked to answer each
in approximately 50 words. Responses were
edited for grammar, punctuation and length.
Answers are arranged alphabetically by the
candidate’s last name.
1. What is the best way for the county to
eliminate its structural deficit? New taxes?
Cuts? Or a combination of both?
Holober: The county must make cuts to
eliminate the deficit. We should trim perks and
top heavy staffing first. We must control costs
before considering new county taxes. I support
a temporary California 1 percent tax surcharge
on income earners making more than $500,000
per year to assist counties, cities and schools.
Nagel: We must do more to prioritize pro-
grams and services, attract new revenue and
make cuts to the budget before asking voters to
pay a new tax. Employee compensation is the
largest line item in the budget. We must save in
this area if we are to eliminate the long-term
structural deficit.
Nikas: San Mateo County residents are not
in the mood to pay more taxes. The county is
asking for cuts across the board to reduce the
deficit by $50 million and increased the
employer contributions to 34 percent of payroll
with future increases planned to go up to 41
percent. It is not enough; we have to find a per-
manent solution and address the core issue that
is the unsustainable pension system.
Reforming the pension system is the only way
to balance the budget.
Papan: We need to do more with less. We’ll
have to make additional cuts in real estate
expenses, pensions and managerial positions.
I’ll pursue greater efficiencies, vending county
services to cities, sharing costs and improving
spending power while maintaining services.
No taxes, unless the voters approve.
Pine: We live in a new fiscal era.
Government budgets will not grow at the rapid
rate that they have in the past. We should use
this fiscal crisis to find ways to operate more
LOCAL
efficiently (e.g. shared
services with our cities).
We must prioritize the serv-
ices that are most critical
and then make cuts.
Stogner: No taxes. It has
to be cuts.
2. How should the
county handle the grow-
ing cost of indigent and
low-income health care? Richard Holober
Holober: Health care is a
human right. The county is
responsible to serve indi-
gent and low-income unin-
sured patients. The county
should accelerate efforts to
collect $6 million it is owed
from insurance companies
and patients who are able to
pay their bills and apply
these revenues to the coun- Terry Nagel
ty health system.
Nagel: We need to
improve billing and chase
down delinquent bills;
reevaluate funding discre-
tionary health care pro-
grams; identify “hot spot-
ter” patients with repeat
visits and lower their costs;
close the $8 million to $10
million Burlingame Long-
Term Care facility and Demetrios Nikas
transfer residents to less-
costly facilities; and work with private hospital
districts to expand community grant programs.
Nikas: Because of the unfunded liabilities,
services are cut; by addressing and reforming
the pension system we can restore the much-
needed services to the indigent, low-income
population and better serve the community.
Papan: Tough decisions lie ahead. The coun-
ty is charged with providing a safety net for
those in need. We must maintain critical servic-
es while working towards a sustainable budget.
I’ll fight for increased contributions from
health care districts, promote prevention-based
approaches to health care and explore
public/private partnerships and shared costs.
Pine: One of seven county residents uses the
county’s public health system and demand is
growing. To continue the level of care we now
provide, we must aggressively implement the
recently enacted health
care reform legislation,
partner with our local hos-
pital districts and put more
focus on preventative care.
Stogner: Collecting
upfront payments and pay
attention to collection,
period.
3. Now that the county
Gina Papan has purchased land for a
new jail, how big — if at
all — should it be?
Holober: County jails
are in serious disrepair. We
don’t want a judge to
impose a new jail on us.
The sheriff’s plan to build
a jail with expansion
room, if needed, saves
money and makes sense.
I’ll emphasize reducing
Dave Pine
jail populations through
effective deterrence, reha-
bilitation and diversion
programs.
Nagel: With overcrowd-
ed county jails and the
state pushing more prison-
ers our way, we badly
need a new jail. A phased
build-out of the jail would
save $5.6 million. We
Michael Stogner need rehabilitation pro-
grams like one in
Sacramento that costs $2.2 million and saves
$8 to $10 million a year and results in a 4.5
percent recidivism rate.
Nikas: [With] a new office and a new jail,
the county accumulates long-term debt while
they cannot afford the present. We should try
and avoid the transfer of 400 prisoners from
the state into our county.
Papan: While any new facility must adhere
to constitutional standards for a new jail, I
advocate for a phased approach based upon
need. We can’t build our way out of this prob-
lem. For better results, I will promote rehabil-
itation, alternative sentencing, drug court,
work furloughs, GED, parenting classes, etc.
Pine: Build it and they will come. We need
a new jail but we cannot build a facility that is
larger than required and more costly than we
can afford. The better approach is to fund pro-
grams that keep people out of jail in the first
place, reduce recidivism and provide for elec-
tronic monitoring where appropriate.
Stogner: Hold off on new jail for now.
4. How can the county fix the escalating
challenge of employee pensions and bene-
fits?
Holober: Our college district offers good
pensions at a fraction of the county’s costs. I
don’t blame workers for the recession. County
employees have accepted benefit cuts. With
my background supporting working families,
I have credibility needed for honest, frank
negotiations to control pension costs in a fair
and equitable manner.
Nagel: I have been working to address this
issue for five years, resulting in a task force
THE DAILY JOURNAL
that issued 50 recommendations. We must ask
employees and managers to increase their
contributions to both retirement accounts and
health care coverage. No one could have fore-
seen the situation we face. We must all work
together to resolve it.
Nikas: We have to honor our obligation to
all retirees. Bring all the bargaining units to
the table and negotiate a sustainable pension
for current and new employees. The alterna-
tive would not be very palatable, meaning let-
ting employees go.
Papan: We must be proactive by bringing
all members of the employee pension/benefits
debate to the table. We should start at the top,
analyze where the majority of resources are
going and work with all sides to craft a work-
able solution. No special perks and stop pen-
sion abuses.
Pine: I will work with the county’s employ-
ees to set salaries and health and pension ben-
efits that reflect the new reality of limited tax
dollars. We also need to set a cap on maximum
pension payments, eliminate double dipping,
stop pension holidays and end pension spik-
ing.
Stogner: I support the Little Hoover
Commission recommendations.
5. Short of the budget, what is the biggest
issue facing the county?
Holober: Environmental preservation,
improving transit, transportation and housing
are vital. The biggest issue is creating good
jobs. During 13 years on the college board,
I’ve strengthened job training programs at
College of San Mateo, Skyline College and
Cañada College, helping businesses with
workforce needs and preparing local residents
for good careers.
Nagel: We must improve our local economy
by attracting new businesses and creating jobs.
We’re part of Silicon Valley, the epicenter of
innovation, and we need to promote our coun-
ty as a great place to do business. I favor cre-
ating an economic development task force that
recommends incentives and cuts burdensome
regulations for existing and prospective busi-
nesses.
Nikas: The county has to fund all liabilities
instead of transferring its debt to our children.
Papan: Jobs and the economy are the biggest
issues. I’ll partner with our business communi-
ty to generate jobs and ignite our economy. I’ll
cut through regulatory red tape to foster eco-
nomic growth and bring fiscal stability back to
the county.
Pine: San Mateo County is one the richest
counties in America, yet one of three public
school children are from low-income families.
We need quality preschool, school readiness
programs, and child health care to ensure that
all kids have the foundation for success in
school. The best investment of a government
dollar is in a child.
Stogner: Without the budget being solved,
nothing else matters. We have had years to
solve this.

Pine for District One supervisor

District One seat on the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors after
Mark Church was elected to be

Rather than appoint his replace-

Michael Stogner and Demetrios
Nikas, have not run a traditional
campaign but offer unique points of
view in the race. Nikas, in particu-
lar, should be commended for his
adherence to the importance of
pension reform, which is turning
out to be a major component to the
campaign — with all candidates
mostly in agreement.

county’s structural deficit, on track
to hit $150 million by 2015 without
action, is in need of repair. The
county is currently in the midst of
cutting $50 million and 270 posi-

in the midst of coming up with
plans to cut 10 percent to 24 per-
cent of their budgets, all meant to
close two-thirds of a $82 million
funding gap. The remaining deficit
will likely be made up with
employee concessions or layoffs.
That will happen regardless of who

lar line struck me: “For some, the
idea of attending Nesbit turned
them off to the idea of change.” I
think that it is a shame that par-
ents are so worried about their
children attending Nesbit
Elementary. I attended Nesbit
when I was younger and went on
to graduate from California State
University, Fresno with honors in
2007. I had wonderful teachers
and I still make an effort to see
them as frequently as possible.
Without that basis for my educa-
tion, I do not think I would be the
person I am today.
Although I do not live in
California anymore, my husband
and I are planning to move back
from Scotland and would be
thrilled to have our son attend
Nesbit. It is unfair for people to
be judging something they have
not experienced.

OPINION
whoever is elected will immediate-
ly be faced with hearings and sig-
nificant decisions about the coun-
ty’s funding priorities.
Pine’s experience in the business
world and as a trustee on the San
Mateo Union High School District
Board should help.
Pine was elected to the high
school board in 2007, immediately
after the district was pummeled
with large-scale cuts and layoffs
because of the economy and some
poor decisions by previous board
members who were hoodwinked by
some of the district’s former staff.
Pine came on board after four years
on the Burlingame Elementary
School Board as part of a reform
movement and has helped stabilize
the district’s finances through keen
attention, fiscal management and
creative ideas such as the district’s
solar project. Though we have dif-
fered on some qualitative aspects of
Pine’s decisions on the board,
including the decision to switch
health care levels for recent
retirees, he made them with the
best intentions and that was to keep
as much money in the classroom as
possible. And even in disagree-
ment, Pine is open to new ideas
and is willing to listen and learn.
A traffic
nightmare
Editor,
The Saltworks public relations
machine is in overdrive, particu-
larly on traffic. DMB, the devel-
oper, says 40,000 out-of-town
commuters drive to work in
Redwood City every day.
Saltworks will provide local
housing to get them out of their
cars. Of 40,000 commuters, 84
percent travel 30 miles or less
from nearby communities. These
people are unlikely to move. In
any case, Saltworks will only
house 30,000.
DMB doesn’t anticipate
Saltworks will create a lot of
extra traffic. A preliminary
report says 7,000 cars could be
added to rush-hour traffic.
Even if Saltworks residents
commute to Redwood City prop-
er, west of Highway 101, their
cars would jam Marsh, Woodside

As a high-tech entrepreneur with
several companies including
Radius, Inc. and Excite.com and as
the former vice president and gen-
eral counsel of Handspring, Pine
has experience making quick and
creative decisions to stay on the
crest of rapidly-changing environ-
ments for which Silicon Valley is
known. While there are significant
differences between government
and business, there is always room
for creative and colorful thinking in
even the grayest of government
buildings.
When Pine unsuccessfully ran for
state Assembly in 2002, he was a
political novice with a lot of bright
ideas. Now, he has proven himself
in elected office and has gained a
reputation for his thoughtful and
open approach to the toughest
issues. He is also a quick learner,
which will be key as he will be
immediately engaged in challeng-
ing and critical decisions on the
Board of Supervisors that affect the
lives of hundreds of thousands of
people. And his belief in more
transparency at the county level
through his work on the charter
review committee, and this election
as a result, proves he is willing to
take on the establishment.
The other candidates are worthy
and could hit the ground running.
However, Pine can hit the ground
sprinting.
and Whipple interchanges,
already at capacity. And no one
can predict how many Saltworks
residents would commute to San
Francisco, San Jose or else-
where. DMB claims Saltworks
is a transit-oriented community.
The closest Caltrain stations
are more than a mile away —
across 101. DMB is bringing
direly needed housing to a jobs-
rich region. Saltworks would
include one million square feet
of offices and 140,000 square
feet of commercial/retail space.
Even MORE people would com-
mute to these new jobs. Don’t be
fooled by DMB spin doctors.
Saltworks would create a traffic
nightmare.

nuclear safety
regulations
— The Marietta (Ohio) Times
A
s Americans continue to
watch events at a stricken
nuclear power plant in
Japan, the last thing we want to
hear is that atomic energy safety
regulations in this country are
“contradictory and unclear.”
Yet those very words were used
by the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission’s inspector general in
a report about the 104 nuclear
power plans in this country. They
referred to guidelines used by
nuclear plant operators to report
potential safety risks.
Nuclear plants generate about 20
percent of the electricity used in
the United States. We have no rea-
son to believe a disaster such as
that in Japan would occur at a U.S.
facility.
But the inspector general’s report
should be of concern. In it, NRC
officials cited at least 24 situations
in which nuclear plant equipment
defects were noted by operators but
not reported to the government.
That occurred between December
2009 and September 2010.
NRC officials should take a look
at those “contradictory and
unclear” reporting rules. To put it
bluntly, any equipment malfunction
that threatens the safety of plant
workers or the public in any way
should be reported immediately. If
rules changes are needed, they
should be made immediately.

Stocks end with small loss

By Chip Cutter and Francesca Levy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
1,459.30 NEW YORK — Stocks are ending the
day with small losses after a 7.4-magni-
tude earthquake struck Japan.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
as many as 96 points in morning trading,
but recovered most of its losses after a
tsunami warning was lifted.
The Dow fell 17.26 points, or 0.1 per-
cent, to 12,409.49 The Standard &
Poor’s 500 fell 2.03, or 0.2 percent, to
1,333.51. The Nasdaq composite fell
3.68, or 0.1 percent, to 2,796.14.
The quake rattled investors, partly
since it struck near the same area as the
massive earthquake that triggered devas-
tating tsunami on March 11. Stock
indexes pared their losses after the
impact of the latest quake appeared to be
less than initially feared. In the U.S.,
economic news was mostly positive. The
Commerce Department said 382,000
people applied for unemployment for the
first time last week. That was the third
drop in four weeks. The decline in appli-
cations suggests layoffs are slowing.
Major retailers also reported better-
than-expected sales for March at stores
that have been open at least a year.
Analysts had predicted declines because
of cold weather and higher gas prices.
Wall Street
Costco Wholesale Corp. rose 4 percent
after reporting a 13 percent gain in sales.
Limited Brands Inc. rose 1 percent after
it said its revenue increased 14 percent
because of strong sales at its Victoria’s
Secret stores. Nordstrom Inc. and
Macy’s Inc. also rose about 1 percent.
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. rose 10 per-
cent, the most of any stock in the
Standard & Poor’s 500 index. The home
furnishings retailer posted strong results
late Wednesday and said it expected earn-
ings to rise 10 percent to 15 percent this
year. Constellation Brands Inc. rose 7 per-
cent. The maker of Robert Mondavi wine
and Svedka vodka recovered from a loss
in the same quarter a year ago and report-
ed a double-digit increase in wine sales in
North America. KLA-Tencor fell 5 per-
cent, the most out of any company in the
S&P 500. The chip manufacturer gets 14
percent of its revenues from Japan.
Netflix, Inc. also fell, dropping 3 per-
cent a day after the home-entertainment
company announced its decision to pay
nearly $1 million per episode to stream
the TV series “Mad Men.” Dish Network
Corp. emerged as a new competitor after
announcing it would buy Blockbuster
Inc. out of bankruptcy.

Google,gov’t near deal on travel buy

By Joelle Tessler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Google Inc.
could receive government clearance as
early as Friday to purchase airline fare
tracker ITA Software in a $700 million
deal that could make the search leader
the hub of online travel, according to a
person with knowledge of the matter.
Although talks are ongoing and could
still fall apart, Google appears close to a
deal with the Justice Department on an
agreement that would let it buy ITA.
Google must accept government condi-
tions to protect other companies in the
travel industry, the person said. The per-
son was not authorized to discuss the
review and spoke on condition of
anonymity. The government review of
the deal has been seen as a test of how
aggressively U.S. antitrust regulators
intend to police Google as the company
uses the wealth and influence gained
from its dominance in Internet search to
expand into other markets.
The acquisition would give Google
control over software that powers the
reservation systems of most major U.S.
airlines and many popular online fare-
comparison services, including Kayak,
TripAdvisor and Hotwire.
Google has said it wants to use ITA to
improve its search results for travel —
giving consumers more choices and bet-
ter ways to search for plane tickets. That
would enable the company to command
higher ad rates from airlines, hotels,
rental car agencies and other leisure
services.
Rivals fear that Google could use ITA
to build its own online travel service and
then use its control over Internet search
to steer consumers to that service while
burying competing sites further down in
its search rankings. The person said
Justice Department officials might sub-
ject Google to government oversight to
ensure that the company does not favor
its own travel products and services in its
search results.

Two PG&E execs to step
down as utility reorganizes
SAN FRANCISCO — Two top Pacific Gas & Electric Co.
executives are resigning — one with a sizeable bonus — as the
California utility reorganizes following a deadly explosion on
one of its high-pressure gas lines in a San Francisco suburb.
The utility’s president announced this week that John S.
Keenan, the chief operating officer, and Edward Salas, senior
vice president of engineering and operations, were leaving the
company.
A document filed Wednesday with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission shows Keenan will step down at the
end of the month with more than $3.2 million in severance
payments.

AOL CEO’s 2010 pay package dropped 40 percent

SAN FRANCISCO — AOL CEO Tim Armstrong’s pay
package decreased 40 percent in 2010 to $15.3 million,
according to an Associated Press analysis of a regulatory fil-
ing, as the struggling New York-based Internet company
attempted to turn itself around.
A Thursday filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission stated that Armstrong earned a salary of $1 mil-
lion last year and a performance-based bonus of $2.3 million.
He received stock worth $4.9 million on the date it was
granted, down 13 percent from what he received in 2009, and
options worth $7.1 million on the date they were granted,
down 63 percent from the year before.

HP:Former executive boosted secrets then bolted

SAN FRANCISCO — Hewlett-Packard Co. has filed a law-
suit against a former executive over allegations he took trade
secrets with him when he went to work for rival Oracle Corp.
The case against Adrian Jones, who was a senior vice presi-
dent in HP’s server, storage and networking division in Asia,
shows the growing rancor between the Silicon Valley technolo-
gy titans. HP’s and Oracle’s decades-long partnership is being
strained by growing competition between the companies.

Chevy’s Cruze a small car contender By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chevrolet’s new small car, the 2011
Cruze, is a pleasantly styled, good-
handling sedan with an inviting inte-
rior and impressive government crash
test results.
The Cruze also comes as an uplev-
el fuel-sipper “eco” model with a
noteworthy U.S. government fuel
economy rating of 28 miles per gal-
lon in city driving and 42 mpg on the
highway.
But the Cruze has a starting retail
price that’s $1,565 higher than the car
it replaces, the Chevy Cobalt. It’s also
priced higher than some competitors.
Specifically, a base 2011 Cruze
with manual transmission and base,
136-horsepower four cylinder has a
starting manufacturer’s suggested
retail price, including destination
charge, of $17,275.
This compares with the $16,360
starting retail price, including destina-
tion charge, for a 2011 Toyota
Corolla with manual transmission
and 132-horsepower four cylinder,
and the $16,995 starting retail price
for a 2012 Ford Focus sedan with
manual transmission and 160-horse-
There’s a full 43 inches of front-seat legroom in the Cruze, which is better than in many compact sedans. Front
and rear shoulder room is a bit better than what’s in many other small cars,too.The rear seat offers seat belts for power four cylinder.
The lowest starting retail price for a
three,but there is not enough room for more than two adults back there for any length of time. Cruze with automatic transmission is
$18,200.
In contrast, a 2012 Focus sedan
with automatic starts at $18,090,
while a 2011 Hyundai Elantra sedan
with automatic and 148-horspower
four cylinder starts at $17,830.
The Cruze eco model, with lighter-
weight wheels, aerodynamic details
and smaller gasoline tank, starts at
$19,175 with manual transmission.
In the past, it was customary in the
auto industry for fuel-thrifty models
of small cars to be priced at the lower
end, not higher than their base mod-
els.
But the Cruze joins the early-
introduction 2012 Ford Focus in

sion higher. The Focus is available

age that costs an extra $945.
In lineage, the Cruze is a bit of an
amalgam of small-car engineering
from South Korea and Europe, where
Chevrolet’s parent company, General
Motors Corp., has had operations.
GM got into bankruptcy trouble in
2008, though, and a replacement
small car for the Cobalt finally got to
the States for the 2011 model year.
In fact, the Cruze is assembled —
with Ecotec four cylinder imported
from Austria and another 15 percent
of parts coming from Mexico — at a
factory in Lordstown, Ohio.
Remember, U.S. taxpayers helped
provide loans to GM as it sought to
correct its financial situation the last
couple of years.
The test Cruze was the top-of-the-
line LTZ model, and it had the uplev-
el, 1.4-liter, turbocharged Ecotec four
cylinder that’s expected to be in most
Cruzes sold.
Torque peaks at 148 foot pounds at
a low 1,850 rpm, and the engine,
mated to a six-speed automatic trans-
mission, moved the Cruze along in
city traffic with good pep. But there
was some lag if I quickly put down
the accelerator for fast acceleration,
and the engine could get noisy at high
revs.

McIlroy off to strong start at Masters

Rory McIlroy watches his tee shot during first
round play in the Masters golf tournament.
By Paul Newberry
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Rory McIlroy has
another early lead at a major championship.
Now, he’s got to avoid another meltdown.
One of golf’s brightest young stars, the 21-
year-old McIlroy surged to the top of the
Masters with a 7-under 65 on Thursday. He
was in the clubhouse two shots clear of the
field, poised to become the youngest first-
round leader in Masters history.
Former PGA champion Y.E. Yang made a
run at McIlroy but closed with back-tot-back
bogeys, settling for a 67. Long-hitting Alvaro
Quiros also challenged, getting to 5 under
with five holes to play.
McIlroy nearly duplicated his dynamic start
at last year’s British Open, where he opened
with a 63. The next day at St. Andrews, in a
howling wind that actually forced a brief
delay, he slumped to an 80.
He shouldn’t face those conditions in
Georgia, where the forecast calls for warm,
sunny weather through the weekend.
Whatever happens, he feels better prepared to
deal with any adversity.
“At the time, it was very disappointing,”
McIlroy said, referring to his second-round
collapse at St. Andrews. “But looking back, it
was probably very valuable in my progression
as a golfer.”
He rallied to finish third in the British Open,
though far behind winner Louis Oosthuizen,
and was third at the PGA Championship.
Throw in his performance at the Ryder Cup,
where he helped Europe reclaim the trophy
from the U.S., and it’s easy to understand why

It may be too soon to tell, but through three
games of the new Major League Soccer sea-

with the issue of having too much of a good
thing.
And not enough of another.

have actually made things worse. But coming

There was a moment in yesterday’s boys’
volleyball match between Serra and St.
Francis in which the Padres allowed them-
selves to hope.
Already down a pair of sets to the Lancers,
the Padres showed great resiliency and battled
to win the third set 25-22. In addition, St.
Francis’ Georgie Ellenikiotis, who finished
the game with 13 kills, tweaked his knee on
an awkward landing and had to come out of
the game.
Up until that point, the junior outside
hitter had given the Padres fits the entire
night with his size.
But the Lancers aren’t hovering around the
top of the West Catholic Athletic League for
nothing. Even with their best player down, the
Lancers were able to cruise, starting the deci-
sive fourth set on a 9-2 run and riding that
wave to a 25-18 win to give them a 3-1 over-
all victory.
With Ellenikiotis on the sidelines, captain
Chris Markuson stepped up big time, tallying
seven kills in the fourth frame alone. He
would finish the match with 12 in all.
Jimmy Frazier had nine kills for the
Lancers.
Serra did their best to try and contain the
two Lancer big men on the outside, but St.
Francis was just too consistent with their
attack the entire match. Whenever the Padres
seemed to score a momentum-shifting point,
St. Francis would go on a mini-run to only
widen the gap.
Set one went to St. Francis rather easily 25-
19. And set two belonged to them as well 25-
17.
Adam Lumpkins led the Padres with 11
kills and two blocks. Joey Alftin added nine
kills. Matt Williams, who had a sensational
third set for the Padres, finished the match
with eight kills and 4 1/2 blocks.
The loss drops the Padres to 2-9 in league
play. The Lancers are 7-3.

Giants almost home Trevor Cahill earns
Jam-packed weekend planned for the
champs who open home schedule today
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco
Giants’ slow start likely will mean little this
weekend. The anguish and torture that became
so familiar to fans with all the close games
during last season’s remarkable run to the
World Series can be forgotten for a few days
at least.
It will be a jam-packed opening series with
three sellouts against St. Louis at AT&T Park.
The reigning champions will raise the win-
ning flag Friday in their first home game,
receive their championship rings Saturday
night with Commissioner Bud Selig in the
house, and recognize Rookie of the Year
catcher Buster Posey in a pregame ceremony
on Sunday.
And, possibly adding to the frenzy of the
coming days: a potential verdict in the perjury
trial of home run king Barry Bonds.
“For a couple of games there’s going to be a
lot of hoopla. We know that,” manager Bruce
Bochy said. “It’s going to be special, too, to
have our opening day.”
The Giants headed into Thursday’s off day
at 2-4 with all the losses by two or fewer runs,
far from the kind of start they would have
hoped for with their roster nearly intact from
that special postseason last fall.
Especially considering all the games have
been against the NL West — Los Angeles and
San Diego, the team the Giants beat on the
final day of the 2010 regular season to clinch
their first division title and playoff berth since
2003.
Bearded closer and last season’s major
league saves leader Brian Wilson is back after
being activated from the disabled list
Wednesday, so he certainly will draw his share
of cheers and lookalikes in the stands.
Left-hander Jonathan Sanchez, who won a
career-best 13 games in 2010, is thrilled to
make his second straight start in the home
opener and as eager as everybody else for the
ring ceremony “just to get it on my finger.”
He also knows the Giants need to stay
focused on playing.
SPORTS
“It’s a new year, a new season. We’ve got to
work. We’ve got to win this year,” he said.
“We’ve got to work harder, because there’s
going to be a lot of teams out there that want
to beat us. We’re just going to bring the same
thing we did last year to this year and go from
there.”
On Sunday, past Giants Rookie of the Year
Award winners will throw out the ceremonial
first pitch, including Hall of Famers Willie
Mays, Orlando Cepeda and Willie McCovey.
If the Giants’ first exhibition game in their
waterfront ballpark March 28 is any indica-
tion — with more than 38,000 in attendance
for an all-Bay Area matchup with the Oakland
Athletics — everybody is eager to celebrate
the city’s first World Series title for as long as
possible. The Giants captured their first crown
since moving West in 1958 and first overall
since the New York team won in ’54.
“I’m sure the guys are looking forward to
getting home, to get the rings and have the
excitement that goes with it,” Bochy said.
“But I think as much as that is just to get home
and get a chance to get settled in and get
organized.
“We have to enjoy the moment. They’ve
earned that, so have some fun with it. But at
the same time, you’ve got to put your so-
called game faces on. That’s got to be in the
back of your minds, too, that these games are
important. We need to play well. We need to
play better.”
San Francisco’s season-opening homestand
continues with three games against the rival
Dodgers starting Monday.
The Giants will dedicate that first game with
Los Angeles to fan Bryan Stow, who was
attacked outside Dodger Stadium after San
Francisco’s season opener on March 31.
The 42-year-old paramedic and father of
two from Santa Cruz has shown signs of brain
damage after suffering a severe skull fracture
and bad bruising to his brain’s frontal lobes,
according to doctors.
The team, along with Stow’s employer,
American Medical Response, will partner to
collect donations at the gates and throughout
the ballpark for The Bryan Stow Fund.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO— After spending most of
spring training working on his curveball,
Trevor Cahill’s extra effort is starting to pay
off.
Cahill pitched eight strong innings for his
first win of the season,
Conor Jackson singled
home the go-ahead run
and the Oakland Athletics
beat the Toronto Blue Jays
2-1 on Thursday.
“(Cahill) was outstand-
ing,” Oakland manager
Bob Geren said. “He had
the strikeouts going, he
Trevor Cahill had the good curveball
going. He started devel-
oping that pitch at the end of last year and
took it into spring training and kept working
on it and working on it.
“I couldn’t be happier with how that pitch
has progressed,” Geren said. “Trevor has
taken to it and it just adds something to his
arsenal that’s going to help him.”
Known mostly for his sinker, Cahill spent
hours in the spring working on his curve with
A’s pitching coach Ron Romanick, and got
good use out of it against the Blue Jays.
“I used it a lot first pitch and then if I was
behind I threw it in there for a different look,”
he said. “It’s helped me out a lot since two
years ago when I was basically just fastball-
changeup.”
Brian Fuentes closed out the game for his
first save as the Athletics avoided a three-
game sweep. Fuentes gave up a two-out single
to Adam Lind before getting Aaron Hill to fly
out.
Oakland trailed 1-0 going into the eighth
when Andy LaRoche led off with a double and
advanced to third on Cliff Pennington’s sacri-
fice.
Blue Jays starter Romero was angry at him-
self for not trying to get what looked to be an
easy out at third on the bunt, settling for the
safe play at first.
“The one thing you’re thinking as a pitcher
is get an out in that situation,” Romero said.
“It’s not a force play. I don’t know. I think I
Friday • April 8, 2011 13
just didn’t make the play the way I should
have and kind of kicked myself in the head for
that one.”
Jason Frasor (1-1) replaced Romero and
fanned Coco Crisp, but strike three was a wild
pitch that bounced away from J.P. Arencibia,
allowing LaRoche to score and Crisp to move
to first.
“(Frasor) had a pretty nasty breaking ball,”
Geren said. “If you can get a good hitter like
Coco to be fooled that much it’s got to be a
tough pitch to block, too.”
Crisp stole second and third before scoring
on Jackson’s go-ahead single.
Shawn Camp replaced Frasor after Josh
Willingham was hit by a pitch. Camp got
Kevin Kouzmanoff to ground into a fielder’s
choice to end the inning.
Cahill (1-0) came in 0-2 with an 8.04 ERA
in three starts against Toronto, but kept the
Blue Jays in check. He allowed one run and
three hits, walked none with seven strikeouts.
Cahill and Romero kept it scoreless through
the first five innings, and the quick pace kept
both pitchers sharp.
“I could tell from the get-go that (Romero)
was going to have a good game and he did,”
Cahill said. “His stuff was nasty. I felt like I
sat down and got right back up. I think you get
into a rhythm.”
Hill singled to start the second, stole second
base and went to third on a grounder, but was
stranded when Travis Snider struck out.
Oakland’s Daric Barton hit a one-out double
in the sixth and went to third on a grounder
but Willingham was caught looking for the
third out.
Toronto broke through in the bottom of the
sixth when Arencibia led off with a double
and scored on a two-out single to right by
Jayson Nix.
A stolen base put Nix in scoring position,
but Jackson made a sliding catch on Lind’s
sinking liner to end the threat.
Romero allowed one run and four hits in 7
1-3 innings. He walked two and struck out
five.Oakland infielder Mark Ellis was held out
of the starting lineup because of an inner-ear
problem and dizziness, but came on as a
defensive replacement in the eighth. It was the
1,000th game of his career.

San Carlos’ Descalso makes homecoming
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
While the Opening Day spotlight
will rightfully be pointed at raising
the World Series Championship flag
at AT&T Park today, there will be a
fair share of
excitement
c o u r s i n g
through the visi-
tors’ dugout as
well.
Today marks
the homecom-
ing of Dan
Descalso. The
Dan Descalso San Carlos
native broke
camp this year with the Cardinals as
a utility infielder and will be making
his first Bay Area stopover since
breaking into the big leagues with a
September call-up last season.
Despite being selected in the third
round of the 2007 draft out of U.C.
Davis, Descalso advanced through
the Cardinals farm system as an
under-the-radar prospect. And while
versatility and a left-handed bat
helped him garner attention for a
Tension continues for NFL, players
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A day after
the judge handling the NFL lockout
lawsuit urged the sides to go “back
to the table,” the players and owners
both expressed a willingness to do
so. The hitch: Each offered to meet
for talks in a setting the other finds
unpalatable.
A lawyer representing MVP quar-
terbacks Tom Brady, Peyton
Manning and other players suing
the NFL wrote U.S. District Judge
Susan Richard Nelson on Thursday
to say they’re willing to engage in
mediation overseen by her federal
court in St. Paul, Minn.
And NFL executive vice president
Jeffrey Pash sent a letter Thursday
to another lawyer representing play-
ers, James Quinn, with a copy going
to Nelson, proposing to resume
talks about 1,000 miles from her
big-league roster spot, Descalso has
climbed the organizational ladder
the old-fashioned way. He can flat-
out hit.
It took awhile for Descalso to find
his stroke at the outset of his career.
During his first full pro season in
2008, he hit just .243 in 403 at bats
at High-A Palm Beach. Yet he was
promoted to Double-A Springfield,
where he finished the year on a 13-
for-37 tear.
“It think it actually [started click-
ing] at the end of the 2008 season,”
Descalso said. “I got to go up to
Springfield … and hit like .350 over
the last couple weeks of the season.
I got some confidence there and
then the next year I hit the ground
running.”
Descalso returned to Springfield
in 2009 where he hit .323 and
earned a start in Texas League All-
Star Game. Soon after, he was pro-
moted to Triple-A Memphis. And in
2010, he was invited to his first big-
league camp, where he hit a memo-
rable walk-off home run against the
Twins on a nationally televised
ESPN broadcast. He returned to
Memphis in 2010, and posted career
courthouse — instead returning to
the Washington office of federal
mediator George Cohen.
Since filing suit in Minnesota on
March 11, the players repeatedly
have said they only are interested in
meeting with the league to discuss
settling the litigation. And since the
lockout began at midnight later that
night, the NFL repeatedly has said it
only is interested in returning to
mediated bargaining.
So Thursday’s flurry of letters
doesn’t really represent meaningful
progress. There were more, too,
including a message to Nelson from
NFL outside counsel David Boies
that referred to a conference call
with the court Friday “to discuss
mediation.”
Boies also wrote: “The purpose of
the mediation would be to negotiate
a settlement not only of the issues
raised in the complaints, but also the
SPORTS
highs in hits (132), home runs (9)
and RBIs (71), while striking out
just 48 times in 468 at bats.
Upon reporting to big-league
camp in 2011 though, competition
was high. The Cards had a slew of
left-handed hitting infielders in
camp this year — starting second
baseman Skip Schumaker, Triple-A
third baseman Matt Carpenter and
the organization’s top positional
prospect Zack Cox. And what’s
more, they all performed exception-
ally.
Schumaker solidified his role as
the Cards’ starting second baseman
going 21 for 54 (.389) in spring
training. Carpenter — a 25-year-old
sweet-swinging third baseman who
has drawn comparisons to former
Giants great Bill Mueller — was 17
for 51 (.333) through the preseason.
But Descalso kept pace, going 16
for 52 (.308), while demonstrating
the acumen to play three infield
positions.
Ironically, Descalso hardly had
any pro experience on the left side
of the infield prior to playing in the
big leagues. He has logged 61 minor
league games at shortstop and third
many other issues that must be
resolved to permit the upcoming
season to be played and for the
league to operate effectively.”
In his letter to Quinn, the NFL’s
Pash said: “We are prepared to
resume discussions as promptly as
possible and to have significant
ownership involvement in those dis-
cussions. Our thought would be to
resume discussions under the aus-
pices of George Cohen and his col-
leagues at the Federal Mediation
and Conciliation Service. After
spending the better part of three
weeks with us, they know the
issues, they know the parties, and I
think we all agree that they were
effective at getting both sides to
look openly at each other’s posi-
tions and try to find solutions.”
Pash also told Quinn: “We under-
stand that you will want appropriate
assurances that the players will not
base combined, all of which were in
A-ball. Since 2008, he played sole-
ly on the right side of the infield,
primarily at second base. A day
after his September call-up last sea-
son, however, he was taking
pregame grounders at third.
“I think they just wanted to see
how I would handle taking to third
base, because it had been awhile
since I’d been out there. And I think
I did a pretty good job,” Descalso
said.
So far, so good. Descalso has yet
to make a fielding error in the big
leagues, while playing exclusively
on the left side of the infield. Of
course, he does have collegiate
experience at the hot corner, having
been the starting third baseman at
U.C. Davis for most of his three sea-
sons there.
Presently at his alma mater, all
eyes are on the big-league promo-
tion of Descalso.
“He was really a special college
player,” Aggies manager Rex Peters
said. “I always thought he had the
tools to make it to the big leagues.
He’s worked really hard. So we’re
all rooting for him.”
compromise any legal position as a
result of entering into those discus-
sions. We are prepared to give rea-
sonable and appropriate assurances
to that effect.”
Cohen mediated 16 days of nego-
tiations in February and March that
failed to result in a new collective
bargaining agreement, and the old
one expired.
The union dissolved itself, saying
it no longer represented players in
bargaining under labor law, which
allowed them to sue the league
under antitrust law.
Owners locked out the players,
creating the NFL’s first work stop-
page since 1987.
Boies referred to the “head start
over any other potential mediator”
that Cohen would have, and added,
“We cannot see any reason to start
back at square one with a different
mediator.”
THE DAILY JOURNAL
And Peters is not surprised in the
least that Descalso is handling big-
league spells at shortstop.
“I think he’ll handle anything
they throw at him,” Peters said.
“He’s that kind of kid…. He’s a ball
player.”
While most of the Aggies from
his era have moved on, Descalso
still visits U.C. Davis in the offsea-
son and mixes it up with the team in
the spring. And he takes seriously
his role as something of an icon
within the program.
“You may not be at a Stanford or
a Cal, but you still have a chance to
move on if you play the game the
right way,” Descalso said of being
an Aggie.
Descalso also acknowledges the
benefit of receiving playing time at
a smaller school.
“If I didn’t have that opportunity,
if I would have gone somewhere
and sat for one or two years, I don’t
know if I would have developed the
same way,” Descalso said.
Quinn, meanwhile, replied to
Pash by saying: “Your invitation to
’resume’ discussions in front of Mr.
Cohen makes no sense as collective
bargaining between the NFLPA and
the NFL is over.”
During Wednesday’s hearing in
St. Paul on the players’ request for a
preliminary injunction that would
lift the lockout, Nelson recommend-
ed court-supervised talks, saying
such negotiations should take place
at “not the players’ table, not the
league’s table, but a neutral table, if
you will.”
“This is really a matter that
should be resolved as soon as possi-
ble,” added Nelson, who said she
would take “a couple of weeks” to
rule on the players’ bid for an
injunction.
Nelson said she “would be glad to
facilitate” negotiations, if the sides
were interested.

Bid cities for 2018 Games make presentations

investment program, Munich played
up the financial strength of German
sponsors and Annecy pushed its
French Alpine traditions as the three
cities bidding for the 2018 Winter

to a key international audience.
Three months before the IOC
vote, the bid teams made 20-minute
presentations at the SportAccord

world.

had (maybe in Arturo Alvarez when
he was healthy a season ago). That
ability is worth its weight in gold.
Dawkins tallied his first MLS goal
Saturday on a pretty combination
play with Convey and Johnson that
opened a lot of eyes.
Dawkins played because he did so
well against Dallas a week before

filling national team duties with
Jamaica that it forced Yallop’s hand
against Seattle. His goal in the first
half made Yallop’s decision a good
one.

The IOC will select the host city by
secret ballot at its session July 6 in
Durban, South Africa.
IOC executive board member
Craig Reedie of Britain said all
three bidders helped their cause
Thursday, and Annecy — widely
considered the outsider — had
stepped up its game.
“You had German efficiency and
order, a very clear message on the
market from Pyeongchang and a
surprisingly elegant and distin-
guished contribution from Annecy,”
Reedie said in an interview. “It’s a
much better race that many in the
IOC thought it would be six months
ago. The two perceived front-run-
ners have developed extremely well
and the improvement in Annecy is
marked.”
But lo and behold, Stephenson
scored against the Sounders too,
coming off the bench at halftime to
secure the second equalizer on a 35-
yard laser. The goal was impressive
and it came following a move that
sent Joey Gjertsen to the bench at
the half. Gjertsen was having a fan-
tastic match, pairing with Dawkins
in the central midfield, and his play
has been improving as he sees more
of the pitch.
But there isn’t room in the mid-
field for all of three (Dawkins,
Stephenson and Gjertsen), especial-
ly with Sam Cronin taking up a spot
as a central defender — it’s an
important role in Yallop’s scheme.
So, two spots for three players who
are all playing well ... what’s a
coach to do?
“Maybe both (play)” Yallop said
in a press conference following the

Pyeongchang, which is making its
third successive bid after narrow
defeats for the 2010 and 2014
Olympics, is considered the favorite
as it makes its case for taking the
Winter Games to a new market in
Asia.
Munich, which hosted the 1972
Olympics, is seeking to become the
first city to stage both the summer
and winter games. Munich says it’s
time to bring the Winter Games
back to Germany after an absence of
80 years.
Annecy says it can offer “authen-
tic” village-style games in the heart
of Europe’s most popular winter
sports region, including the site of
the first Winter Olympics in 1924 in
Chamonix.
Pyeongchang, which went third in
the presentations and drew the
largest crowd, said South Korea has
Seattle draw. And if you read more
into what he said, Yallop was more
pleased with his team’s perform-
ance than concerned about a mid-
field that is getting a little crowded.
The 4-5-1 alignment is working
though. Yallop likes Wondolowski
on the wing and trailing on plays in
which the striker/midfielder can
clean up the messes and turn them
into goals. Stephenson said after the
Seattle game he is willing to do
whatever his coach says, but he’s
playing too well to start games on
the bench. So the competition for
that final midfield spot will be
between Dawkins and Gjertsen.
While Gjertsen has been playing
well, Dawkins and his skill with the
ball give him the starting advantage.
The Englishman on loan from
Tottenham isn’t necessarily up to
game fitness yet, so Gjertsen will

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Tiger Woods watches his shot from the pine needles on the 11th hole during first round play
in 2011 Masters. Woods is six shots from the leaders with a 1 under par, 71.
GOLF
Continued from page 11
the young man from Northern Ireland is con-
sidered a star-in-the-making.
He sure had it going at Augusta National,
taking advantage of nearly perfect conditions
for scoring: a clear day with only the slightest
breeze. McIlroy started rolling at the par-5
second with the first of three straight birdies,
and kept it going through a bogey-free round.
“I trusted everything,” he said. “I trusted
where I wanted to hit the ball. That’s the key
around here. With some of these pins, you can
get tentative and try to guide it in there. You
just have to pick your targets and trust your
swing. I was very happy with the way I did
that.”
McIlroy doesn’t expect to fall apart on
Friday.
“I have that experience to draw on,” he said,
“especially being in a similar position to last
year at St. Andrews. I feel like I’m better pre-
pared to tee off in the second round of a major
with the lead.”
Tiger Woods wasn’t anywhere near the
lead, but at least he wasn’t totally out of it.
Mired in the longest winless streak of his
career, he made a long putt at No. 14, lipped
out several others and finished with a 71.
He considered it a promising start.
“I’d rather be where Rory is,” Woods said,
glancing at the scoreboard from behind the
18th green. “But, hey, there’s a long way to
go. We’ve got a long grind ahead of us. ... I’m
very pleased. I’m right there in the ballgame.
SPORTS
REUTERS
I’m only six back.”
While Woods has gone 20 tournaments over
17 months without a win, he’s always a con-
tender at Augusta National, where he’s cap-
tured four green jackets and finished fourth a
year ago.
Defending champion Phil Mickelson teed
off in the next-to-last group and pushed his
opening tee shot into the trees left of the fair-
way. He scrambled to save the first of seven
straight pars, before a birdie at No. 8 pushed
him into the red for the first time.
Lefty was coming off a three-stroke win at
Houston, his first triumph since last year’s
Masters and a sign that his game was peaking
at just the right time.
With five holes to play, Mickelson was still
at 1 under.
Yang made an eagle at the 13th and briefly
pulled into a tie for the lead with consecutive
birdies on 15 and 16. But a wild drive behind
the trees led to a bogey at the 17th, and he
made another at the final hole after knocking
his approach shot over the green and failing to
pull off a tricky up and down.
Matt Kuchar shot 68, while five other play-
ers were at 69: Sergio Garcia, Charl
Schwartzel, Brandt Snedeker, Ross Fisher and
2008 Masters champion Trevor Immelman.
Two-time U.S. Open winner Retief Goosen
had the early lead after holing out an eagle
from the fairway on the first hole.
But the South African limped to the finish
with three straight bogeys for a 70 that felt
much worse.
For the first time since 1999, Woods wasn’t
the Augusta favorite. Mickelson is the book-
makers’ choice at 13-2, while his longtime
rival is the second pick at 10-1.
BONDS
Continued from page 11
and one count of obstruction of justice.
Bonds, owner of the major league records for
home runs in a career and a season, told the
grand jury in 2003 that Anderson misled him
into taking designer steroids by calling them
flaxseed oil and arthritis cream.
Nedrow told the jury that Bonds’ story was
obviously false because the former baseball
star was a rich, professional athlete who paid
close attention to his body.
“He makes $17 million a year and doesn’t
know what he’s taking,” Nedrow rhetorically
asked the jury. “That’s his account and it’s an
account that’s false.”
Nedrow alleged that Bonds lied about his
drug use because he wanted to keep it from
his famous father, former Major League
Baseball player Bobby Bonds and from his
team, the San Francisco Giants.
“The defendant had a secret and he didn’t
want his dad to know about it,” Nedrow said.
Bobby Bonds died of cancer in 2003.
Dressed in a dark blue suit, Bonds leaned
forward at the defense table and occasionally
sipped from a water bottle during closing
arguments. He sat attentively between two of
his lawyers as Nedrow discussed the testimo-
ny of Bonds’ former girlfriend, Kimberly
Bell, and his estranged best friend and ex-
business partner, Steve Hoskins. Bell testified
about physical and behavioral changes she
witnessed during her nine years with Bonds,
including hair loss, acne, shrunken testicles
and mood swings. Nedrow alleged those were
side effects of steroid use.
Nedrow played a recording Hoskins secret-
ly made of a conversation he had with
Friday • April 8, 2011 17
Anderson. Hoskins testified that he made the
recording in 2003 to prove to Bonds’ father
that his son was using steroids. Nedrow said
the recording shows the two men discussing
injecting Bonds with designer steroids.
Hoskins “cared about the defendant,”
Nedrow said. “He was worried about the dan-
gerous effects of the drugs.”
The defense team contends that Hoskins
made the recording in an attempt to extort
Bonds. In early 2003, Bonds accused Hoskins
of selling memorabilia without Bonds’ per-
mission. Bonds severed his business relation-
ship with Hoskins and also asked the FBI to
investigate Hoskins.
As closing arguments stretched into the
afternoon, Bonds’ attorney Cristina Arguedas
attempted to discredit Bell by saying that she
“committed perjury” when she exaggerated
the shrinkage of Bonds’ testicles during her
appearance before the grand jury. Arguedas
also pointed out that Bell posed nude for
Playboy and appeared on Howard Stern’s
raunchy radio talk show.
Ruby wrapped up his closing argument by
urging jurors to dismiss testimony about the
size of Bonds’ head, which grew while he
played for the Giants. Prosecutors argued
head growth was a side effect of steroid use.
Ruby said that there is no scientific proof that
steroid use leads to head growth.
“This business about Barry’s head getting
bigger, to use a legal term, is stupid,” Ruby
said. “All this head lie has done is to demo-
nize Barry Bonds.”
Bonds’ trial, now in its 12th day, has gener-
ally attracted little interest locally but the San
Francisco courtroom where the case is being
tried was packed on Thursday with spectators
and media.

Trump investigating
citizenship question
of President Obama
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Real estate tycoon Donald Trump said
Thursday he isn’t convinced that President Barack Obama was
born in the United States ,but says he hopes
the president can prove that he was.
Officials in Hawaii have certified
Obama’s citizenship, but “birthers” have
demanded additional proof. And Trump,
who is weighing whether to seek the
Republican presidential nomination, says
not all the questions haven’t been
answered.
Donald Trump In an interview broadcast Thursday,
Trump told NBC News he plans to decide
by June whether to run, and said that if he is the GOP nomi-
nee, “I’d like to beat him straight up,” not on the basis of the
question of where Obama was born.
Trump insisted he didn’t introduce the citizenship issue, but
he isn’t letting go of it either. Since he was asked about it dur-
ing an interview several weeks ago, the real estate executive
said, he’s looked into it and now believes “there is a big possi-
bility” Obama may have violated the Constitution.
“I’d like to have him show his birth certificate,” Trump said.
“And to be honest with you, I hope he can.”
Asked in the interview how genuine his presidential ambi-
tion is, Trump said, “I always take things seriously, but I’ve
never taken it seriously like this. I wish I didn’t have to do it.”
“I wish this was the greatest place in the world,” Trump said.
But he said the United States is losing respect in the world at a
time when jobs at home are vanishing. He accused Obama of
giving the country “a terrible presidency.”

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE ‘UM
By Susan Cohn
DAILY JOURNAL
SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
The de Young Museum’s exhibit
Balenciaga and Spain, curated by
Hamish Bowles, European editor at
large of Vogue, features 120 haute cou-
ture garments, hats and headdresses
designed by Cristóbal Balenciaga
(1895–1972) that illustrate
Balenciaga’s expansive creative vision,
which incorporated references to
Spanish art, bullfighting, dance, region-
al costume and the pageantry of the
royal court and religious ceremonies.
As legendary fashion editor Diana
Vreeland vividly described him,
“Balenciaga was the true son of a
strong country filled with style, vibrant
color, and a fine history,” who
“remained forever a Spaniard. ... His
inspiration came from the bullrings, the
flamenco dancers, the fishermen in their
boots and loose blouses, the glories of
the church and the cool of the cloisters
and monasteries. He took their colors,
their cuts, then festooned them to his
own taste.” Curator Bowles notes,
“Balenciaga’s ceaseless explorations
and innovations ensured that his work
was as intriguing and influential in his
final collection as it had been in his
first.”
The ensembles featured include gar-
ments commissioned and worn by
some of the world’s most iconic
tastemakers, among them Doris Duke,
Baroness Pauline de Rothschild,
Countess Mona Bismarck, Gloria
Guinness, Ava Gardner, Thelma
Chrysler Foy, Claudia Heard de
Osborne and the Bay Area’s own
Eleanor Christenson de Guigné and
Elise Haas.
The de Young Museum is located at

Ronan is a force of nature in ‘Hanna’
Five best Blanchett films
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Whether
she’s front-and-center as the star of
a film or playing a juicy supporting
part, Cate Blanchett is always fas-
cinating to watch, with her
astounding versatility and transfix-
ing, chameleon-like features.
This week, Blanchett plays a vil-
lainous CIA operative on the hunt
for a teenage killing machine in
“Hanna.” The Australian actress
works a Texas drawl that drips with
menace, but she’s also quite adept
at running in Prada heels. So we
took on the daunting task of select-
ing five — and only five — of her
best performances:
“The Aviator” (2004):
Blanchett won the Academy Award
for best supporting actress for her
portrayal of Katharine Hepburn
opposite Leonardo DiCaprio’s tor-
mented Howard Hughes in Martin
Scorsese’s spectacle of a biopic.
She’s a complete joy to watch.
Blanchett isn’t doing a dead-on
impression, and she shouldn’t be,
but she definitely embodies the
actress’ spirit. Just seeing her stride
across a golf course and hearing
her ask Hughes in that hard New
England accent whether he likes
the the-a-tah —
because she just
loves the the-a-
tah — is a total
hoot.
“I’m Not
There” (2007):
Writer-director
Todd Haynes
took an ambi-
Cate Blanchett tious approach
to the often-
cliched musical biography genre
by casting six different actors to
play Bob Dylan. But the boldest
choice of all was in selecting
Blanchett as one of them. This may
sound gimmicky but she’s riveting

Sweetly savory chicken soup for spring
G
etting your kids interested in food
and cooking really can be as simple
as asking, “Hey, do you want some
mangos?”
To which my 6-year-old son, an otherwise
bored participant in the grocery shopping that
day, responded with an all-too-teenager-like,
“Sure.”
As I carried the mangos back to the cart, the
sum of my plans for them amounted to peel-
ing, cubing and dumping them on my son’s
plate. Apparently he’d come up with other
ideas.
“How about if we cut them up and turn them
into a soup? A really thick one. And we can
add chicken and some spices, like cinnamon
and curry,” he said. “And there would be
chunks of chicken and mango in the soup. Can
we do that?”
That’s when you find yourself staring and
blinking at your kid. And finally stammer,
“Um. Sure.”
Point being, of course, that giving children a
little influence in the food that comes into the
house can go a long way to making them will-
ing to get involved with it once it’s there. A
few extra minutes spent involving children
while at the grocery store can pay real divi-
dends at dinner.
This recipe is the simple, weeknight-friend-
ly soup that resulted from Parker’s grocery
store inspiration. He helped at every stage,
from peeling the mangos to cooking the chick-
en. The result is a delicious and healthy soup-
as-meal for spring.
To keep the flavor of the mango sweet and
fresh, it is barely cooked. The flavor of lime
and curry go wonderfully with it. The soup
also could be made dairy-free by substituting
coconut milk for the creme fraiche.

A healthy dose of modern frat-boy crude-

of two princes out to rescue a damsel from an
evil wizard. Sort of “The Princess Bride” as
retold in colorful sailor’s vernacular.
Crassness overwhelms “Your Highness,”

slacker Prince Thadeous, defiler of dwarf
queens, partaker of illicit apothecary herbs
and all-around palace loser.
Older brother Fabious (Franco) is heir to
the throne and the kingdom’s golden boy,
newly returned from a heroic quest with rav-
ishing bride-to-be Belladonna (Deschanel) in
tow.
After sorcerer Leezar (Justin Theroux)
abducts Belladonna as part of his scheme to
gain unstoppable powers, Thadeous must
reluctantly accompany his brother to fetch
her back.
On the road, they team with the mysterious
Isabel (Portman), a lethal warrior with her
own grudge against Leezar.
Despite the colorful costumes, mythologi-
cal beasties and salty language, “Your
Highness” is a tired tale whose scattered
laughs fail to liven up the lumbering action.
Green shows no greater poise directing
action here than he did with the repetitive
nately adept at running in Prada heels. She’s
looking for Hanna herself — and has a vest-
ed interest in keeping her alive.
But before they can meet up, Hanna must
travel through Morocco and Spain and final-
ly to Germany. That she does this alone, and
with no money, is a fact you will have to sus-
pend disbelief to accept. Along the way she
gets some help from a British family on hol-
iday. Olivia Williams is lovely, and a rare
source of warmth, as the New-Agey mother,
while Jessica Barden steals all her scenes
here, as she did in “Tamara Drewe,” as the
sassy teenager who becomes Hanna’s first
real friend.
Hanna responds with a mixture of fascina-

BUDGET
Continued from page 1
cuts with substantially shorter school years,
fewer extra curricular programs and lots of
layoffs.
Gov. Jerry Brown’s original proposal kept
funding to education at a standstill for next
year only if a tax package was extended
through a special June ballot. No election was
called and the governor is said to start a cam-
paign for a November ballot which leaves
schools in limbo.
In the last two years, California has lost
30,000 teachers to layoffs, said California
Teachers Association President David
Sanchez. This year, nearly 20,000 more could
be lost due to budget cuts, he said.
“That’s 50,000 teachers in the last three
years,” he said.
Losing teachers and other employees has
simple side effects: larger class sizes, less per-
sonalized attention, fewer program opportuni-
ties and, more recently, shorter school years.
Funding cuts are coming from numerous
sources, and without knowing the state’s
plans, school officials are making drastic deci-
sions.
Without the ballot measure, California
schools will lose at least $2.3 billion or $349
per student, according to the San Mateo
County Office of Education. If the state
decides to make an all-cuts budget, schools
could lose up to $828 per student.
Locally, there will be many impacts.
Schools in Redwood City could have one
less week of classes next year. Raul Parungao,
chief business officer for the Redwood City
Elementary School District, put together three
scenarios earlier this year; the best case is no

have real-time communication, a way to let
clients have access,” Karagianes said.
The software company that sold the lab its
system is in the process of developing such a
model and said it is expected “soon” although
there is not a specific timeline, Karagianes
said.
An unknown is if the update will be part of
the lab’s current maintenance contract or
require purchase. Sheriff Greg Munks is hope-
ful it will be free because the county serves as
a beta site for the company but said he is pre-
pared to pay for the update if necessary.
Currently, the situation is “kind of old
school with phone calls and emails,” he said.
However, he and District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe said the communication is much
improved.
In the past — the “paper world,” as
Wagstaffe deemed it — reports would get lost
or misplaced and signals got crossed.
“They’ve done an excellent job of correct-
ing that,” he said.
One outstanding feature still needed is being
alerted when new reports are generated, he
said.
The jury also recommended the lab offer
regular or standard training on forensic tech-
niques and crime scene investigation.
Karagianes said training is offered but on a
more as-needed basis for agencies and indi-
viduals rather than on a more formal schedule.
“We tend to rely on our client agencies to
tell us when they need it,” Karagianes said.
WEEKEND JOURNAL
longer a viable option. Now the district is esti-
mating a loss of $5.6 million to $9.6 million.
Either scenario will result in 10 furlough days
for employees and a drop in school days from
180 to 175.
For employees, this will mean larger class
sizes and less income. The furlough days rep-
resent a 5 percent pay cut. In the worst-case
scenario, Redwood City employees will face a
7.5 percent additional pay reduction, said
Parungao. For a person making $72,000 annu-
ally that equates to $9,000 a year or $750 per
month.
Teachers have agreed to such concessions
while negotiations with employees in the
California School Employee Association
needs to occur, he said.
Even after dipping $1.7 million into the
reserves, Redwood City is still looking for up
to $1 million in cuts.
Fewer school days could be an option.
Statewide, districts are looking at having as
few as 160 school days — that’s basically a
month less of school, according to the County
Office of Education.
On the surface that seems like a child’s
dream, right? Extra summer. Financially,
that’s an extra month of child care for parents.
Low-income families struggling to make it are
often aided by state programs, which are also
on the chopping block. Teachers will have
fewer days to teach the same standards.
“You’re not going to be able to,” Sanchez
said.
Teachers, faced with growing class sizes,
won’t be able to teach the same topics with 20
less school days.
Statewide, teachers have decided education
will be its plan to call for change. The week of
May 9 will be one of multiple demonstrations
culminating on Friday, May 13, the state’s
deadline to send teacher layoff notices.
Another challenge is that each agency has
their own needs, he said.
The crime lab serves several jurisdictions in
the county and some non-county agencies,
provided services including ballistics, toxicol-
ogy, fingerprint, DNA analyses and crime
scene processing.
Last fiscal year, the lab received $4.21 mil-
lion from the Sheriff’s Office budget and gen-
erated another $1.12 million in lab fees.
The lab director is appointed by the sheriff
and oversees a staff of 31.5 full-time equiva-
lent positions and qualified interns.
The civil grand jury last looked at the crime
lab in 2006 when the recommendations
included receiving independent accreditation.
The lab met this goal Sept. 11, 2010 from the
American Society of Crime Laboratory
Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board.
The accreditation is valid until 2015.
Previously, grand jury reports were not as
glowing as the assessment issued yesterday.
“This report culminates 12 to 15 years of
real hard work to overcome the prior deficien-
cies,” Munks said.
In October 2000, the jury found the former
crime lab was seismically unsafe, did not meet
health or safety codes and had inadequate
plumbing and potentially unsafe electric
wiring. The 75-year-old building was also
infested with the Stachey-Botris mold which
sickened employees. The new LEED-certified
lab broke ground the following year.
Civil grand jury reports carry no legal
weight but recipients are required to respond
in writing within 90 days.

Request for Proposal # ISD1806
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the
County of San Mateo will receive
sealed proposals for the following:
To provide the County of San Mateo’s
Information Services Department a
proposal for a Modular/ Container
based Recovery Data Center.
The RFP Document may be obtained
from the following website:
http://www.co.sanmateo.ca.us/ids/rfp,
or by contacting Patricia Gonzales at
the County of San Mateo, 3rd Floor,
Redwood City, CA 94063. Email
pgonzales@co.sanmateo.ca.us.
Pursuant to County Ordinance Sec-
tion 2.83.170:
(a) Before the County contracts for
engineering services, architectural
services, management consultants, or
similar one-time professional assis-
tance to accomplish specific projects,
requests for proposals shall be ob-
tained if the expense of the contract is
estimated to exceed the amount es-
tablished by the Government Code as
the limit of the Purchasing Agent's au-
thority to engage independent con-
tractors. The request for proposal
shall be in accordance with Adminis-
trative Memoranda promulgated by
the County Manager.
(b) The Board of Supervisors may
authorize the use of request for pro-
posal procedures when County de-
sires to acquire systems, such as
computer system, telecommunication
systems, or the like, consisting of both
equipment and software programs.
The Board, if it determines that a re-
quest for proposal is in the best inter-
est of the County, may authorize such
request for proposals instead of com-
petitive bidding that might otherwise
be required by this code. Such re-
quests for proposals shall be pursuant
to Administrative Memoranda promul-
gated by the County Manager.
(c) The Board of Supervisors may
waive any of the provisions of this
chapter which require requests for
proposals in any situation where the
Board of Supervisors determines that
the best interest of the County could
be served without the necessity of re-
quests for proposals.
Request for Proposals shall be sealed
and filed with the Information Services
Department, 455 County Center, 3rd
Floor Redwood City, CA 94063-1663,
on or before April 28, 2011 @ 3:00
P.M. There will be no public hearing.
The County of San Mateo reserves
the right to reject any or all proposals
and to accept or reject any items
therein, or waive any informality in
proposals received.

school teacher myself, I know com-
promises will have to be made, seri-
ous campaigns launched and ulti-
mately this community will pull
together to weather this storm,” he
wrote.
Velschow will fill the position left
vacant by the resignation of Michael
Parker last month. Parker’s term is
set to end in two years. Velschow
will hold the seat until November at
which time a two-year seat will be
put on the ballot.
Velschow is a Belmont resident
with three children at Central
Elementary School. The oldest will
attend Ralston Middle School in the
fall. A longtime Belmont resident,
Velschow attended Cipriani
Elementary School as a child as
well as Ralston before graduating

square feet of office space, was con-
ceived to sit adjacent to the
Hayward Park Station and incorpo-
rated transit-oriented Caltrain serv-
ice into its design.
“We shouldn’t let short-term fixes
put into jeopardy community
plans,” Talansky said.
Burlingame Mayor Terry Nagel
also spoke in opposition to the pro-
posed service reductions, which
included the cancellation of week-
end service at Burlingame Station.
The proposed cuts could have a
chilling effect on the economies of
regional cities, Nagel said.
Earlier in the meeting, Chuck
Harvey, the San Mateo County
from Serra High School in San
Mateo. He holds a bachelor’s degree
in political science from the
University of California at Davis
and his teaching credential in social
science from San Francisco State
University.
No stranger to the district,
Velschow was co-chair of the 2008
Measure U campaign, a successful
bid to pass a seven-year $78 annual
parcel tax to support the local
schools.
Velschow was on the short list of
trustees Cathy Wright and Brian
Matthews, along with Silfvast.
Board President Andrew Stulbarg
favored Pritchard and Eliopoulos
noting both had independent
thoughts in their responses, but was
open to the idea of adding an educa-
tor to the board.
Wright explained that perspective
was helpful in the past.
“Chuck teaches in a basic aid dis-
trict. He’d have that knowledge.
Transit District’s deputy CEO, pre-
sented the board with a report show-
ing that Caltrain ridership had
steadily increased systemwide over
the past year. Out of 32 stations in
Santa Clara, San Mateo and San
Francisco counties, 27 saw increas-
es in riders, Harvey said.
LOCAL/WORLD
When we had an educator [on the
board], she would bring us back to
the roots of why we’re here.
Sometimes we get caught up in
other things but having an educator
who is actually touching the lives of
children every day; it’s nice to have
a more balanced perspective,” she
said.
Matthews agreed. An educator’s
perspective is missing from the
board which is otherwise made up
of lawyers and business people.
“I’m looking to fill the gap,” he
said.
When previously questioned
about the time commitment to the
board, Velschow expressed a will-
ingness to give up coaching to be
dedicated to the trustee position —
something that stuck out for
Stulbarg.

email: heather@smdailyjournal.com or
by phone: (650) 344-5200 ext. 105.
Trains at peak hours were com-
pletely full, Harvey said. There were
more riders boarding with bicycles
and 50 percent more capacity to
accommodate them, he said.
Caltrain’s weekend ridership was
also on the rise, he said, due to the
popular Baby Bullet service
between San Francisco and San Jose
that was introduced in January.
“We are the model,” Tissier said,
before making a motion to postpone
voting on the station closures, serv-
ice reductions and fare hikes until a
specially scheduled meeting on
April 21.
“The system is not broken,” direc-
tor Liz Kniss said. “If we’re ever
going to ring the Bay with rail, we
need Caltrain.”
Director Arthur Lloyd agreed.
“We have a success story here,”
Lloyd said. “Why kick it?”
Strongest aftershock since
Japanese tsunami kills two
By Jay Alabaster
and Tomoko A. Hosaka
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SENDAI, Japan — A strong after-
shock ripped through northeastern
Japan, killing two, injuring dozens
and piling misery on a region still
buried under the rubble of last
month’s devastating tsunami.
The quake late Thursday was the
strongest tremor since the March 11
jumbo and did some damage, but it
did not generate a tsunami and
appeared to have spared the area’s
nuclear power plants. The

Libyan rebels angry after
airstrike blamed on NATO
AJDABIYA, Libya — An appar-
ent NATO airstrike slammed into a
rebel combat convoy Thursday,
killing at least five fighters and
sharply boosting anger among anti-
government forces after the second
bungled mission in a week blamed
on the military alliance.
The attack — outside the strate-
gic oil port of Brega — brought
fresh questions about coordina-
tion between NATO and the
patchwork of rebel militias in a
conflict described by a senior U.S.
commander as a stalemate that
could eventually require the
Pentagon to reassert more power,
and possibly even send in ground
forces.
Tensions between the rebels and
NATO were flaring even before the

Many people in the area have

for nearly a month, and the latest

Twelve children killed
in Brazil school shooting
RIO DE JANEIRO — A gunman
roamed the halls of an elementary
school in Rio de Janeiro on
Thursday and killed 12 children, lin-
ing them up against a wall and
shooting them in the head at point-
blank range as he shouted, “I’m
going to kill you all!”
It was the worst school shooting
in Brazil — and would have been
deadlier if the gunman had not been
shot in the legs by a police officer,
who said the man then fell down
some stairs and shot himself in the
head.
