Council appeals The Carlos Clubs expansion plans

Decision based on public safety issues, lack of data

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

HEATHER MURTAGH/DAILY JOURNAL

U.S.Rep.Jackie Speier speaks to more than 100 people during an anti-human trafcking training held for airport personnel at San Francisco International Airport Monday morning.

Exactly one week after the San Carlos Planning Commission gave a downtown nightclub owner the green light to expand with an outside patio and live music, a majority of city councilmembers took the unusual move of appealing the decision. The 3-2 vote to appeal the approval at a Andy Klein future meeting is a rarity for San Carlos as residents rather than elected leaders are most often the ones seeking reconsideration of a planning decision. However, Mayor Andy Klein who has previously called the Planning Commission approval an affront to public safety and the citys top law enforcement ofcial and fellow councilmen Mark Olbert and Ron Collins said they want to further vet the matter.

Curbing trafficking problems Closing arguments heard

Airport training aims at making employees aware of signs,how to react

by jury in murder retrial

Human trafcking often includes air travel which is why San Francisco International Airport personnel along with local law enforcement were invited to a training session Monday covering warning signs as well as how to respond. Sex trafcking is considered the thirdlargest and fastest growing criminal industry in the world. An estimated 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders and 100,000 to 300,000 domestic minors are forced into

sexually slavery within the United States annually. Those in the human trafcking business often move the victim which is why U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo and David Palmatier of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security launched a training for airport employees Monday at SFO. If you see something, say something. In the end, our intuition is a powerful measurement of whats not right and what is wrong, said Speier. Speier explained the practice of human trafficking continues to grow since the product abducted people

can be resold. Also, the penalty for trafcking people are less harsh than selling drugs, she said. It is absolutely unacceptable that trafcking the modern day slavery of the 21st century not only exists but is thriving both domestically and throughout the world. Disrupting trafckers unhindered access to air travel through training of airline and airport personnel is an essential step in closing the door on this horric crime, she said.

This Day in History

1862

President Abraham Lincoln signed a measure prohibiting Union military ofcers from returning fugitive slaves to their owners, effectively superseding the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. In 1639, New College was renamed Harvard College for clergyman John Harvard. In 1781, the seventh planet of the solar system, Uranus, was discovered by Sir William Herschel. In 1845, Felix Mendelssohns Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64, had its premiere in Leipzig, Germany. In 1901, the 23rd president of the United States, Benjamin Harrison, died in Indianapolis at age 67. In 1925, the Tennessee General Assembly approved a bill prohibiting the teaching of the theory of evolution. (Gov. Austin Peay signed the measure on March 21.) In 1933, banks began to reopen after a holiday declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1947, the Lerner and Loewe musical Brigadoon, about a Scottish village which magically reappears once every hundred years, opened on Broadway. In 1964, bar manager Catherine Kitty Genovese, 28, was stabbed to death near her Queens, N.Y. home; the case generated controversy over the supposed failure of Genoveses neighbors to respond to her cries for help. In 1969, the Apollo 9 astronauts splashed down, ending a mission that included the successful testing of the Lunar Module. In 1980, Ford Motor Chairman Henry Ford II announced he was stepping down, the same day a jury in Winamac, Ind., found the company not guilty of reckless homicide in the ery deaths of three young women in a Ford Pinto. In 1992, the U.S. House of Representatives, trying to weather a politically embarrassing restorm, voted unanimously to publicly identify 355 current and former members who had overdrawn their accounts at the House bank. In 1996, a gunman burst into an elementary school in Dunblane, Scotland, and opened re, killing 16 children and one teacher before killing himself.

Flash of light across Phoenix skies a mystery
PHOENIX A large, eeting ash of light that appeared in the darkened skies over the northwestern edge of metropolitan Phoenix remains a mystery. The ball of light that looked like an explosion was captured by a trafc camera on Interstate 17 around 4:45 a.m. Thursday and happened to be broadcast by KSAZ-TV when the station showed footage of the roadway during a report on the mornings commute. The two electric utilities that serve metro Phoenix say they didnt have any reports of electric transformer explosions that might explain the ash. Damon Gross, a spokesman for Arizona Public Service, says a blown fuse on a transformer can produce a ash, but he said the utility had no such report Thursday morning. Its a mystery to us as well. I cant even offer a guess, said Doug Nintzel, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Transportation. Charlotte Dewey, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Phoenix, says there was no weather activity that might explain the ash. Messages left for ofcials at nearby Luke Air Force Base werent immediately returned Friday afternoon. KSAZ is asking viewers to come forward if they have any information about the mysterious ash. In 1997, dozens of people saw lights in a V-formation over Phoenix, a mystery that was captured on videotape and spurred calls for a government investigation. ered: a baby born at 23 pounds, 12 ounces in January 1879, according to the Guinness Book of Records. That newborn was said to have died 11 hours after birth. The largest surviving birth, according to Guinness, was a boy born in 1955 who weighed 22 pounds, 8 ounces. But Jaydens weight hasnt lost its shock value to Siglers family. She said her cousin didnt believe her until she showed a photo of the scale readout. Jaydens birth weight is almost twice that of his sister, Jailyn, now 2 1/2. She was 7 pounds, 2 ounces at birth. Sigler said shell have to exchange all the baby clothes she bought for larger sizes.

Woman gives birth to son weighing nearly 14 pounds

SAN DIEGO A Southern California woman says doctors predicted she would give birth to a big baby boy, but nobody was prepared for just how big. Jayden Sigler weighed in at 13 pounds, 14 ounces, when the healthy boy was delivered Thursday by cesarean section, the North County Times reported Saturday. His mother, Cynthia Sigler of Vista, said that her immediate reaction was: Howd he t? Doctors initially estimated that Jayden would weigh about 9 pounds, but that number jumped to 11 by early March, the mother told the newspaper. Dr. Jerald White, who delivered the baby at Tri-City Medical Center, said Jayden was the biggest of the 20,000 newborns he has helped usher into the world since he started in 1961. The doctor said delivering a very large baby via cesarean section is more challenging, but it wasnt so difcult that it created a problem for anybody. While Jayden will likely make a big dent in the doctors memory, hes small compared to the largest baby ever deliv-

Benefits under fire in Belmont

Council to discuss its own benefits package tonight
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Police reports
That blows
A resident complained about the loud noise of a leaf blower on the 900 block of Azalea Avenue in Burlingame before 8:23 a.m. Thursday, March 8.

After Councilman Warren Lieberman suggested in October that the Belmont City Council eliminate a lifetime health insurance benefit for councilmembers who serve 12 years, the council opted instead to look at its complete benefits package, adopted in 1997, for possible changes. Five months later, the council will hear an informational report tonight that compares the entire benefits package for councilmembers in Belmont to those in neighboring cities. Lieberman wants the council to nix the lifetime health insurance benefit for councilmembers and thinks the council may also want to reduce the $1,587.14 monthly health benefit cash out councilmembers are entitled to if they do not sign up for health insurance through the city. Lieberman told the Daily Journal yesterday he would not be surprised if the council votes 5-0 tonight to jettison the benefits. I anticipate we will change that as well, Lieberman said. But back in October, only Councilman David Braunstein supported Liebermans proposal. Councilwoman Coralin Feierbach would not comment on the matter yesterday but did say it is something that should be aired out at the council meeting. Lieberman said the benefits the council

receive are not commensurate with the job duties. Although, Lieberman had initially only eyed the lifetime benefit for changes, he thinks the comparison of other benefits to neighboring cities may cause the city to make changes elsewhere Warren related to compensating Lieberman the council. The benefits package for Belmont councilmembers is about $20,000 a year, Lieberman said. The state of the economy has resulted in every one taking a hard look at the benefits being paid out, he said. The informational report the council will hear tonight shows that Belmont councilmembers who do not elect to receive health coverage are entitled to $1,587.14 monthly cash out. But in Burlingame councilmembers only get a $200 deferred compensation for not participating in the citys health insurance plan. In San Carlos, that figure is $324.44 a month. Lieberman said if a councilmember does not need health insurance through the city then they should not get the in-lieu cash payments. The informational report also shows Belmont councilmembers get a monthly stipend of $390 and get paid $60 for each meeting they attend.

The stipend is generally lower than Belmonts neighbors but some cities pay even less, such as San Carlos, which gives its councilmembers a monthly stipend of $300. Los Gatos is the least at $150 a month. Redwood City, however, gives a $750 monthly stipend to its councilmembers. In Menlo Park, the figure is $645 a month and in San Mateo, it is $600 a month. When it comes to the lifetime health benefits package Lieberman proposes to cut, Mayor Dave Warden said back in October that the city had yet to pay a single cent to anyone eligible to receive the benefit since the package was approved nearly 15 years ago. Feierbach is the only councilmember currently eligible for the benefit and Warden will be eligible for it in the coming years. George Burgess, of the Belmont Chamber of Commerce, agreed with Lieberman and opposes the lifetime benefit. If Belmont decides to cut the lifetime benefit, it would likely only apply to future councilmembers as to not create a conflict of interest with the current council. The Belmont City Council meets 7:30 p.m., tonight, City Hall, 1 Twin Pines Lane, Belmont.

Mosque burglar Brown seeks tax-hike support from police chiefs takes plea deal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A teenage transient accused of stealing from a Belmont mosque donation box several times last year pleaded no contest to second-degree burglary in return for no more than 32 months in prison. Prosecutors say Jaouad Bouamama, 19, burglarized the Yaseen Foundation mosque on Masonic Way ve times but was only able to take cash on three occasions because the imam moved the donation box. Bouamama reportedly entered the mosque using a pass code and the break-ins were caught on a security video. Belmont police Jaouad Bouamama arrested him April 9 when a patrolling ofcer spotted him in the area and found his answers about his birth date and purpose suspicious. At the time, Bouamama was on probation for attempted residential burglary. As part of his negotiated settlement, Bouamama also admitted a prior strike. He returns to court May 2 for sentencing and remains in custody in lieu of $125,000 bail. ragon Performing Arts presents The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wildes satirical view social customs of Victorian England.

Brown noted that his plan is the only one of the three proposals that would dedicate some of the revenue to local law enforcement. His address to the California Police Chiefs Association came as Brown faces

Weve got a plan. There will be other plans, but at the end of the day weve got to get the choice.

In addition, attorney Molly Munger is underwriting an initiative that would increase income taxes across the board. Both measures would dedicate the new revenue to public education.

Seven states oppose California low-carbon fuels rule

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LINCOLN, Neb. Seven states are opposing Californias effort to enforce a state mandate that critics say discriminates against fuels produced outside California. A federal judge ruled in December that Californias Low Carbon Fuel

Standard regulation violates the U.S. Constitutions commerce clause by discriminating against ethanol made in the Midwest. California has appealed and asked to be allowed to enforce the rule while its appeal is pending. The regulation doesnt mandate using specic fuels, but assigns higher carbon scores to fuels made outside California.

Groups challenging the regulation say it conicts with federal standards and rules out fuels from other states. Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning said Monday the regulation threatens $1.3 billion in annual ethanol sales from Nebraska alone. Also ling challenges are Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

BILOXI, Miss. Republican presidential contenders and their super PAC supporters campaigned aggressively on land, through the mail and over the airwaves Monday on the eve of primaries in Alabama and Mississippi with the potential to solidify or shake Mitt Romneys standing as front-runner. In the Deep South, one of the most conservative regions of the country, Romney and his Republican rivals polished their credentials with attacks on President Barack Obamas handling of the economy and the nations use of energy. The dangers of carbon dioxide? Tell that to a plant, how dangerous carbon dioxide is, said Rick Santorum. But those criticisms were mere warm-up for the candidates going after each other. Gingrich is struggling for survival in Tuesdays primaries, and Santorum is laboring to redeem his claim that Romney cant secure the support of conservatives, particularly evangelicals who are part of the partys key base. If the opportunity provides itself in an open convention, theyre not going to nominate a

moderate Massachusetts governor who has been outspending his opponent 10-1 and cant win the election outright, Santorum said in a television interview as he campaigned across Alabama and Mississippi. Romney countered, also Mitt Romney on television. Were closing the deal, state by state, delegate by delegate, he said, emphasizing his lead in the category that matters most. He has more delegates than his rivals combined, and is amassing them at a rate that puts him on track Rick Santorum to clinch control of nomination before the convention opens next summer, a prospect that his rivals prefer not to dwell on. APs tally shows him with 454 of the 1,144 delegates needed to win the nomination, Santorum with 217, Gingrich with 107 and Ron Paul with 47.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Egypt has mediated a cease-re between Palestinian militant factions and Israel after four days of violence, an Egyptian security ofcial said. The ofcial told the Associated Press that a cease-re went into effect at 1 a.m. Tuesday. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. It was not immediately clear when a formal announcement of a cease-re would be made. The ofcial said that after hours of talks, the

Palestinians agreed to stop launching rockets at southern Israeli cities and Israel agreed to stop targeting militants in airstrikes. Neither Palestinian militant groups or Israel would immediately comment. There were no reports of violence by either side. The ghting was triggered by Israels killing of a militant leader last week. Twenty-four Palestinians died, including seven on Monday, and about 1 million Israelis in rocket range have seen their lives disrupted by the threat of rocket attacks, with frequent sirens warning them to run for cover.

Planning commissioner dies
Alex Feinman, the chair of the San Mateo Planning Commission, died Friday from a sudden heart attack, according to city ofcials. Feinman, 73, was also active on the San Mateo Park Neighborhood Association. He allegedly struck a tree while headed to play golf Friday but did not suffer any major injuries, according to a family friend. We are very saddened by the passing of Alex Feinman. Alex was a true public servant who was dedicated to improving our community. Through his service as president of the San Mateo Park Association, member of the Public Works Commission from 2006 to 2010 and member of the Planning Commission beginning in 2010 and its current chair, Alex was dedicated to building a strong community within his neighborhood and San Mateo as a whole, City Manager Susan Loftus wrote in a statement. He was both compassionate and objective in his role as a commissioner and always sought to balance the many community perspectives that were presented to the commissions. He was greatly respected by his colleagues and his contributions to the many projects and issues brought before the commissions will live on for years to come. His interest in our community was further demonstrated by his participation in the City Services Academy prior to his appointment to the Public Works Commission. He was a wonderful person who will be missed by our community and everybody who knew him. He is survived by his wife Bobbi.

Man unhurt in rollover collision

Belmont police, responding to an accident on ONeill Avenue yesterday morning, found a 2001 Ford Escape on its roof in the middle of the roadway with the unlicensed driver unhurt, according to police. The driver, Jesus Lizarraga-Rodriguez, a 26year-old Belmont resident, was able to get out of the vehicle before police arrived. He was checked at the scene by Belmont Fire Department paramedics and was found to be unhurt. Ofcers determined that Lizarraga-Rodriguez was driving east on ONeill Avenue, when he dropped a compact disc. He reached down to pick it up and drifted into the oncoming trafc lane. His vehicle then struck a Ford Expedition that was parked on the north side of the street and ipped over. A Honda Accord, parked behind the Expedition, was also damaged in the collision. ONeill Avenue was closed to through trafc for approximately an hour due to the collision, according to police. Lizarraga-Rodriguez was cited at the scene for being unlicensed.

AUSTIN, Texas In a wide-ranging talk about the Internet and government, Al Gore urged the techie crowd at South By Southwest to use digital tools to improve government. The former vice president sat for a conversation with Napster co-founder and Web entrepreneur Sean Parker on Monday at SXSW in a ashy tete-aAl Gore tete that drew an audience of thousands at the Austin Convention Center and more viewers via a live stream. Our democracy has been hacked, said Gore, framing Washington gridlock and the effects of special interest money in digital terms. To x what he called a no-longer functional U.S. government, Gore urged the audience to begin a new Occupy Democracy movement. He pushed for the creation and implementation of digital tools and social media to change the democratic conversation. Gore talked of a Wiki-democracy of digital ash mobs calling out the truth and a government square that holds people accountable. Parker, who was famously portrayed by Justin Timberlake in The Social Network, has gotten into politics by investing in Votizen, an online network of voters that leverages social networks to campaign for their issues. He also sits on the board of NationBuilder, which also seeks to organize political change.

San Bruno man still missing

OPINION
This issue must be dealt with in the present and under the current circumstances as they exist and must consider anticipated growth. Much focus has been put upon a fourth school and acquisition of additional property on which to place it. While this is certainly a solution, there may be a more cost-effective and socially responsible solution that will address the problem and be consistent with smart-growth principles. Foster City needs to create solutions that build a sustainable social, economic and environmental framework for the citys future health. There are currently four public school sites in Foster City that occupy a fair amount of real estate. Audubon and Brewer Island schools are located on 7.3 acres a piece. Foster City elementary comes in at 9 acres and Bowditch Middle school occupies 12.5 acres of real estate. While each design may have been in line with the needs of the community, architectural and educational trends of the times, there is no doubt they are outdated and antiquated. Each of these facilities will need to be refurbished or redeveloped just as a matter of maintenance or life span of the same (It is important to note that Foster City Elementary is currently being redeveloped, however, it will not significantly increase student capacity). This fact brings the fundamental question into clearer

School development in Foster City

By Herb Perez

Guest perspective
focus. Could we as a community, make better use of our existing school properties to accommodate both current and future growth in our school population? I, and many others, believe the answer is yes, but more importantly it is environmentally, socially and economically responsible to do so in accordance with the principles of smart growth. One example of a property that certainly can be better utilized is the 12.5-acre Bowditch Middle School site. Bowditchs singlestory structures sprawl across a significant portion of its property. However, the majority of Bowditch is open space. It would seem that a simple and most effective solution is to redesign and redevelop the current school properties into two-story buildings. This would provide much needed classroom space and bring down the average class size. It would provide additional classroom space for the soon to be burgeoning middle school population or accommodate both a K-5 and middle school. Additionally, since student growth seems to ebb and flow, in times of decreased enrollment, the additional space could be repurposed without additional expenditures. Our community needs to manage its expectations of years past and address the reality that smart growth is vertical and not necessarily horizontal. We need to be flexible in the design and implementation of a solution for our schools and maintain flexibility for the cyclical nature of student numbers. No solution is perfect and each is fraught with its own set of problems. Parents desire smaller schools and classrooms. While these are not mutually exclusive, they may not be able to be accommodated under the current set of circumstances. Parents do not want bigger schools for a variety of reasons which include, loss of smalltown feeling, increased anonymity and less open space. While these concerns are valid, the fundamental factor in the well-being of a student is the student-to-teacher classroom ratio. More importantly, recess and lunch schedules can be managed to accommodate a larger school population. However, only more classrooms and teachers can decrease the number of children in a classroom. It is paramount to maximize the efficiency of all existing school property and future buildings to the benefit of the children. This can be done without the purchase of additional property or taking of private property by eminent domain. This solution is available now and will not need to acquire property that is unavailable or the taking of property to the detriment of the Foster City General Plan and sustainable future.

Guest perspective

ecently, Foster Citys need of a solution for its overcrowded classroom has been the topic of much debate. I offer the following to add to the discussion of this important issue and not as a definitive or exhaustive treatment of this complex issue. The acceptance of a set of prevailing and immutable facts is often difficult and painful. Ones first inclination is to ignore the reality; this is followed by trying to explain, or rationalize the discordance. Finally, there is the acceptance and adjustment of ones world view, or picture based upon the new reality these facts create. Policy cannot be developed in a vacuum by any one stakeholder. For a solution to be viable, it must include the input of parents, residents, business, city staff and the elected city and school officials. This process should include an understanding of the past and historical perspective, but must not me mired down in it. We, as a community, need to collectively address this issue as a matter of policy and move quickly to the final phase of this process by accepting the following facts. Our current ability to absorb the number of elementary school-age children is constrained by overcrowded classrooms and antiquated facilities that cannot accommodate future growth. As such, there is a need for a solution that will provide additional classroom inventory to decrease the number of children in each classroom.

Memorization or regurgitation?

Letters to the editor

Who are the real terrorists?
Editor, We know Americas history as colonists armed themselves with the assistance of the French to end British rule and the severe unfairness of the British government. Today, we, the United States of America, are regarded as the worlds greatest democracy. We should know the recently-celebrated Margaret Thatcher led her own campaign of terror in northern Ireland, sealing off every border with the Irish Republic. She speaks about her own hatred and loathing of the Irish in her biography (The Downing Street Years). We should know Nelson Mandelas history with the ANC, planting car bombs around Johannesburg. He was imprisoned as a terrorist with the help of the American CIA, and was regarded as such by every western nation. Today, Nelson Mandela is celebrated as an international human rights hero. At the same time, we should also know that Mandela himself thanked Moammar Gadhafi and the Iranian government for their help as President Clinton stood beside him during a press conference in the 1990s. So are the real terrorists the most powerful countries with the most powerful militaries in the world who use them to suppress and then oppress the most powerless people in the world? I leave it up to you. cannot be thanked and encouraged enough for their on-going efforts in support of our military veterans. (Getting returning veterans back on their feet in the March 8 edition of the Daily Journal). In addition, writer Heather Murtaugh and the Daily Journal are to be commended for this important reminder of the challenges that many of our veterans face and the help that they need once they return home.

must disagree with the recent student letter writers who believe that their high school exit exam is not important and only a product of memorization rather than learning. There is a great deal to learn about the importance of memorization. It is not simply a set of facts that you regurgitate but a way to train the mind to adapt something you memorize into something concrete to live by. I am often reminded of the poem by Edwin Markham: He drew a circle that shut me out Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout But love and I had the wit to win; We drew a circle that took him in. Of course, you do not need to memorize the poem exactly, as you should know that being a bully or excluding a person as a friend simply because that student is different may very well be inappropriate. If you memorize the order of operations for algebra or the area of a circle or square and understand fractions, you may discover how easy it is to reconnect to what you thought was lost memorization when entering a career. The art of memorization for classroom work was lost after World War II with new teaching methods. The exercise has values that can be incorporated into everyday living. If you are in the theater, exacting memorization is necessary for the play is to go on. This may also be true in troubleshooting an air or heating conditioner needing repair, if such an occupation becomes your career. Although you may never use some of the rote learning required in the exit exam, you are better off realizing the appropriateness of the exercise. Look at your teachers and how they teach the subject. Teachers are governed by principles that elicit from the student an active response are you paying attention to the material being taught; teachers explain to the students why there should be a perceived purpose and importance to learning the material. Teachers recognize that students have individual differences in the way they learn, thus adapting the same material in new ways. Homework provides appropriate practice to instill the subject matter for future use. The teacher also provides a graduated sequence, so you dont tackle the most difficult material before you have a foundation in the basics. Your teacher (or the state) then tests you so that both have some knowledge of the results. As difficult as you may find this theoretical framework, it is your duty to learn and be cooperative in the classroom and not disrupt the teacher and their tasks to prepare you for the future and living a better today after class.

Wall Street
some days its terrified. The 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 were evenly split between gainers and losers. Utilities, which tend to attract nervous investors because of their relative stability and generous dividends, rose the most. Markets in Europe were also divided. Germany did better than others, rising 0.3 percent. Greece fell 2.5 percent. The news out of Europe seemed only to make predictions on where the market is heading more foggy. Greece persuaded private investors to agree to big losses on their bond holdings, which should help the country stave off default later this month. But the country is still in a severe recession. Jeff Sica, president and chief investment officer of SICA Wealth Management in Morristown, N.J., said Greece is only a distraction from other deep-rooted problems throughout Europe, including brewing debt burdens in Portugal and Italy. Presidential elections in France add another layer of uncertainty because a new leader could backpedal on scal commitments made by President Nicolas Sarkozy. The struggling European countries also cant cut spending, which theyll likely need to do to avoid bankruptcy, without angering their citizens.

NEW YORK U.S. stocks struggled for direction Monday, unsure of what to make of news about Greeces debt workout and eclectic announcements from a few well-known U.S. companies, such as mattress maker Sealy and luxury retailer Michael Kors. The Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poors 500 ended the day higher, but the Nasdaq fell. Both indexes wavered between small gains and losses for big chunks of the day. The Dow was the most stable, staying above Fridays close for all but a few minutes. The Dow closed up 37.69 points at 12,959.71. That marked four straight days of gains, only the second time that has happened so far this year.

WASHINGTON The government led in federal court Monday a $25 billion settlement with the five largest mortgage lenders, putting an official stamp on the landmark agreement over alleged foreclosure abuses. The court papers offered few new details on the deal between the federal government, 49 states and Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo & Co., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc. and Ally Financial Inc. The deal was rst announced last month. Banks will pay roughly $20 billion to help borrowers avoid foreclosure. Most of that will go toward reducing loans for about 1 million of the 11 million U.S. households that owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. The banks will also pay $5 billion in cash to the federal and state govern-

ments. About a third of that money will go into a fund to be used for sending $2,000 checks to about 750,000 Americans who were improperly foreclosed upon from 2008 through 2011. The banks will have to complete 75 percent of their loan relief requirements within two years and 100 percent within three years. The banks did not admit wrongdoing as part of the settlement. Federal and state law-enforcement authorities could still pursue criminal action against them, the government says. If a bank violates a requirement of the agreement, it would face penalties of as much as $1 million for each violation or up to $5 million for some repeat violations. The settlement, reached after nearly a year and a half of contentious negotiations, is subject to the approval of a fed-

eral judge in Washington. It is the largest settlement involving a single industry since the $206 billion multistate tobacco deal in 1998. But consumer advocates have said far too few people will benet. The deal applies only to privately held mortgages and not to those owned by mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Banks own about half of all U.S. mortgages, or about 30 million loans; Fannie and Freddie own the other half. The banks will be required to make foreclosure their last resort. They wont be allowed to foreclose on a homeowner who is being considered for a loan modication. The new standards are aimed at preventing recent abuses by banks such as lost paperwork and so called robosigning the practice of employees signing papers they hadnt read or using fake signatures to speed foreclosures.

NEW YORK Yahoo is suing Facebook over patents, just weeks before the social-networking heavyweight is due to cash in with its initial public offering of stock. Yahoo Inc. said in a court ling Monday that Facebook has infringed 10 of its patents covering advertising, privacy controls and social networking. Yahoo had threatened to sue Facebook last month, insisting that the social network license its patents. Facebook vowed to defend itself vigorously against what it called puzzling

actions by Yahoo. Were disappointed that Yahoo, a longtime business partner of Facebook and a company that has substantially beneted from its association with Facebook, has decided to resort to litigation, Facebook said in a statement. Yahoo ties a lot of its online services to Facebook, which has helped it attract users. As with many patent suits, this one will likely be resolved in a settlement or licensing deal. That said, the patent claims could cast a spotlight on Facebooks vulnerabilities as the company tries to complete an IPO this spring. At the end of 2011, Facebook had just 56 U.S. patents, a relatively small number compared with ling a lawsuit against the company and ve U.S. publishers on allegations they orchestrated a price-xing scheme on electronic books. The involved parties are trying to avoid a high-prole court battle by negotiating a settlement, according to the Wall Street Journal.

other big tech companies. Yahoo owns more than 1,000 patents. That trove of patents may come in handy for Yahoo, which has seen its revenue fall steadily over the past three years. But it could also cast the company as desperate, trying to extract money from soonto-be-public Facebook. Yahoo made hundreds of millions of dollars from a patent settlement that it reached with Google Inc. just before the Internet search leader went public in 2004. Facebooks IPO is expected to dwarf Googles, valuing the Menlo Parkbased social network at as much as $100 billion.

Moss is boss: 49ers sign WR

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS REUTERS

Randy Moss,who announced his retirement last year, is back. After working out with the 49ers on Monday,the WR signed a 1-year deal.

SANTA CLARA Randy Moss is ready to show the world he can still be that dynamic deep threat who once dominated NFL defensive backs. Even after a year away. Even at age 35. Even with a reputation he says isnt all its made out to be. Moss is getting a another chance in the NFL, signing a one-year contract with the San

Francisco 49ers on Monday only hours after he worked out for the team and with former NFL quarterback and current coach Jim Harbaugh. Im not a free agent. Im a guy straight off the couch, straight off the street, Moss said. One thing I want the sports world to understand is the love and passion I have for football. Moss will ll a big void for the reigning NFC West champions in Harbaughs version of the West Coast offense.

While he didnt go as far as to promise not to pout when times are tough, he did say all the right things, and that he plans to be a positive presence in a locker room known for its blue-collar, unselsh approach. Moss has no interest in reecting on his past, either. This is a fresh start. The thing about me being here is theyve done their research on me. When it comes to the worldwide sports media, Ive gotten a bad rap, Moss said. Theyve done their home-

As a member of the Deans List at Menlo College, youll often nd Oaks guard Erika Garcia studying when shes not on the basketball court. So it comes as no surprise that when Garcia found out she had been named as a 2012 Daktronics-NAIA Scholar Athlete for her work this season, she was in the library. Its really rewarding, Garcia said of the honor, because I work hard, its nice to see my hard work [pay off]. Garcia was one of three Menlo basketball players named to the Daktronics scholar list Monday, with teammate Corie Thompson and mens point guard Alexander Engel. Garcia is a Garden Grove native and shes already racked up some serious hardware for her remarkable play on the court. The 5-7 guard took home her second straight California Pacic Conference 1st team distinction this year, averaging 11.6 points per

Sacramento and the Power Balance Pavilion is but a win away. And so, with that in mind, Serra and Sacred Heart Prep hit the road on Tuesday looking to lock up a spot in the Division II and Division IV CIF Nor Cal championship games. Tip off for both contests is scheduled for 7 p.m. Making the farthest trek is SHP, whos the No. 3 seed in Division IV and will travel to Modesto to take on Modesto Christian, the No. 2 seed. The Gators are fresh off an overtime win over St. Patrick/St. Vincent in the second round of the CIF tournament. In that game, McConnell was AT&T personied, charging the Bruins from long distance eight times en route to a 33 point performance. But it wasnt just No. 10 doing all the work. Ian Bennett added 13 big points in the win. Ricky Galliani had 11. The Gators will need another big offensive performance against the Crusaders Tuesday night.

Modesto Christian averaged nearly 70 points per game this season en route to a 27-5 record (12-0 league) and they have four players near double-digit points for the season. The Crusaders are led by Raymond Bowles and his 18.6 points per game. Right behind him is the duo of Anthony Townes and Tyron Rattler, each at 13 points per game. Toeing the 10 point line is Mason Washington at 9.7 per. Modesto Christian is ranked 92nd in the state by Maxpreps.com. The Gators have a 10-3 road record this season. Their last road loss came Jan. 10 at Pinewood. Since then, SHP is 6-0 away from their Atherton home, including 2-0 on neutral courts. Serra makes a shorter trip to the east to face NCS Division II champion Newark Memorial an old rival back at the midway part of the last decade. Back in March of 2005, Serra defeated the Cougars during their journey through the CIF playoffs. Newark Memorial avenged that loss in December of the same year, defeating Serra 56-49 on their home oor. A year later, the Padres traveled back to the East Bay and handed the Cougars a 60-53 loss. This will be the rst time the two teams

see each other since that December date. Newark comes into the game riding a 21game winning streak they last loss on Dec. 29, 2011 against DeMatha. Since then, theyve ridden the scoring of a core group of young players that have played beyond their years. Serra will contend with Mission Valley Most Valuable Player Casey Norris. From there, its on to the likes of sophomore sensations Joey Frenchwood and Damien Banford. Jalen Rogers can do some things in the interior for the Cougars as well. Newark is ranked 12th in the state by Maxpreps.com. Serra is 17th. The Cougars are denitely battle-tested. Theyre 1-1 against the WCAL this season (win against St. Francis, loss to Mitty) and have games against teams like McClymonds under their belt.

Picking perfect bracket a tough numbers game

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Want to be sure you have the perfect March Madness bracket this year? Not possible. If you were to stack the amount of paper it would take to ll in every bracket with every possibility among the 68 teams who will play 67 games over the next three weeks, it would not t inside the universe. So says Michael Weimerskirch, a math professor at Augsburg College who gets paid to think about numbers and the way they affect the Kentuckys, Butlers and VCUs of the world. But theres this small glimmer of hope. Weimerskirch says you could simply start ipping coins. The odds of nding perfection that way by ipping a coin to pick the winner of every game: 1-in100,000,000,000,000,000,000. For those keeping score at home, thats 1-in-100 million trillion. Or, to put it another way: Youre just as likely to win Powerball three consecutive times as you are to picking a perfect bracket by ipping a coin, Weimerskirch says. Of course, the NCAA tournament is all about making the impossible seem possible. Butler, a school with

only 4,000 kids, made it to the nals two years in a row. VCU started the tournament last year as a No. 11 seed and wound up playing in the Final Four. For those setting their sights on winning their friendly ofce pool, there are, in fact, ways to improve your odds. Weimerskirch suggests looking at the number of people in the pool. The more people in the pool, the more you must stray from picking a slate of straight-line favorites. Kentucky, by the way, is the oddson pick at 2-1, followed by North Carolina at 6-1. Its one thing to pick favorites to win the whole thing, but you have to know others are picking the favorites to win the whole thing, too, he said. So, if youre in an ofce pool with 1,000 people in it, you need to do something a little bit unusual. He recommends selecting a No. 14 seed to make it to the Sweet 16. Or an 11 to go to the Final Four, a la VCU. You need something unusual to go your way, Weimerskirch says. There gures to be plenty of that over the next three weeks, ending April 2 at the Superdome in New

Orleans. The games start Tuesday, with two first-round matchups: Mississippi Valley State vs. Western Kentucky and BYU vs. Iona. The tournament gets into full swing Thursday and Friday with 64 teams in action. Watching closely, once again, will be President Barack Obama, whose re-election campaign is welcoming visitors to his website to pick the winners. No wagering please, though anyone visiting the site is invited to donate money to Obamas campaign. In an attempt to give fans even more facts and gures to ponder, the NCAA cracked the window ever so slightly on its behind-closed-doors selection process, answering more questions this year and even releasing a list of the teams and the way they were ranked from 1 to 68. At the end of the day, though, labeling Kentucky as the No. 1 overall seed, or knowing that fth-seeded Vanderbilt was really the 18thranked overall team, doesnt give much more clarity to the guesswork. After all, in the past week, Kentucky lost to Vanderbilt, while a bunch of other top-seeded teams in their conference tournaments also lost: Kansas, Syracuse, North

Carolina, Washington, to name a few. If you had 200 co-workers in an ofce pool, just being able to pick all the 8 vs. 9 and 7 vs. 10 matchups, only about one in 200 is going to get all eight of those games right, Weimerskirch says. In short, none of this is easy. According to a study by bookofodds.com, the odds of picking a perfect bracket by always going with the better-seeded team are about 35.3 billion-1. Bookofodds.com took a look at a teen who picked every game of the rst two rounds correctly last year and found the odds of that happening were 13.46 million-1. Thats not that far removed, the website said, from the odds of a person in Missouri dying from contact with handheld power tool in a year. Thats 13.25 million-1. (The odds of the Missouri Tigers winning the national championship, on the other hand, are listed at 12-1 in Vegas. Not bad considering.) So, for the relatively modest cost of $10 or $20, you, too, can buy a bracket, try to beat the odds, get some skin in the game and actually care about March Madness, even if you dont know a basketball from a

dodgeball. You can go with logic and scouting reports, put on a blindfold and throw darts or choose teams because you like their uniforms. The luckiest could come out with a few extra ducats when the nets are cut down in New Orleans. Many more will nd themselves losing and not only to the guy in the next cubicle, but to their 2-year-old nephews, their neighbors cat and their buddys favorite stuffed animal. The most interesting story I heard came back 15-20 years ago, when Duke won it all, Weimerskirch said. It was a fairly large ofce pool of 1,000 people. One guy based it on who would win if the mascots fought. The rules were like, people with guns would beat animals, who would otherwise beat people who didnt have guns. Turns out, supernatural creatures like devils would beat most things. Sure enough, it was a great year to be pulling for the Blue Devils. No matter how you arrived at that conclusion.

Baylor, Stanford, UConn, Irish earn No. 1 seeds

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Brittney Griner and the Baylor Lady Bears have one goal this season a national championship. Anything less would be a disappointment for the undefeated topseeded Lady Bears, who are looking to become the seventh school to run through a season unbeaten. Standing in the way could be the other No. 1 seeds Stanford, Connecticut and Notre Dame, dominant all season long. The Huskies and Irish both lost competitive games at Baylor this season. Griner and Baylor, who lost in the regional nal last season, could be the rst team ever to win 40 games in a year, but coach Kim Mulkey only cares about one thing a second national title for the school. We started hearing about that, and its never been a goal of ours,

Mulkey said of winning 40 games. Our simple goal is to win a national championship. The basketball madness gets started Saturday the rst step en route to the Final Four, which begins April 1 in Denver. To get to their second Final Four in three seasons, the Lady Bears might have to get through Tennessee, which is appearing in its 31st straight NCAA tournament. I wish I was not in the same bracket as Pat (Summitt), because of the respect I have and also because weve already played, Mulkey said. The two teams met in November, and Tennessee held an eight-point lead early in the second half before Griner took over en route to a ninepoint victory. The 6-foot-8 phenom has been dominant lately scoring more than

40 points twice in the past 10 games, including a 45-point effort in the Big 12 tournament seminals this past weekend. The Lady Vols have won eight national championships but havent been to the Final Four in three seasons. They pledged at the beginning of the season that they would not go a fourth consecutive year without reaching the Final Four something theyve never done and would try to win a national title to honor Pat Summitt. The coach announced in August shed been diagnosed with early onset dementia, Alzheimers type. Summitts squad will face her alma mater Tennessee Martin in the opener. I like my alma mater, Summitt said. I like winning and moving on better.

Before a potential matchup with Baylor, Tennessee could meet Delaware and the nations leading scorer Elena Delle Donne. The 6-5 star is averaging 27.5 points this season and has guided the Blue Hens to a 30-1 mark. Now they are looking for their rst NCAA tournament victory. Connecticut hopes to win its eighth national championship (tying Tennessee) and will start with a matchup against Prairie View. UConn coach Geno Auriemma told the Huskies faithful in the preseason that this team wouldnt win a national championship. But his young team has developed over the past ve months, and Connecticut looks poised to make another run after beating Notre Dame for the Big East tournament title. If you have to rely just on

momentum then you dont have a good enough team, Auriemma said. Weve got to hope we have a good enough team and then rely on momentum as an extra asset. The Irish also have been focused on winning a title after falling just short last season, losing in the championship game to Texas A&M, which is a No. 3 seed in the Raleigh region. The two teams could meet in the regional nal. Notre Dame, which will open up at home against Liberty, reached the national title game last year by knocking off UConn in the Final Four. It was the fourth straight season that UConn made the Final Four. The two teams, who already have played three times this year, could meet for a fourth time in Denver. The Cardinal also have advanced

Thats just how it is and it has to stay that way if were going to be successful. I think we will eventually make our own breaks if we keep ghting that way.

McMorrow has denitely proved she is a contender and given the lack of options in the yweight division, she could remain a ghter in demand for some time to come. Shes going to keep going, Croft said. In womens boxing, [the Mucino ght] was definitely the ght of the year so far. Im biased because I was involved with it. But as far as ghts go, it was a good ght. Since Melissa is a top-10 ghter, anyone on the way up is going to have to ght her. If they want to be a champion, theyre going to have to beat her.

game in the 2011-12 campaign. Its great, Garcia said. We accomplished so much on the court. Getting something like this is the icing on the cake. I think I contributed well to the team. I was a good leader and I had a big role to ll. So its to contribute on and off the court, academically, and being able to contribute with my athletic skills and lead by example. Its nice. Garcia was effective on the court while handling an 18-unit load at Menlo, attributing some of her success to frequent power naps during the day. I try to put my best foot forward, she said. I dont want to turn in anything I wouldnt be proud of. Sometimes its kind of rough. Garcia graduates in May with a degree in Psychology.

SURPRISE, Ariz. This time, Tim Lincecum was pleased with his outing. Lincecum pitched four solid innings and the San Francisco Giants beat the Kansas City Royals 2-1 on Monday. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner yielded an unearned run and an ineld single. He struck out four and walked two after he was knocked around for ve runs and seven hits in his previous outing against Colorado. Lincecum said it was definitely motivation not to have another similar performance. Tim Lincecum You try to come out here and take them seriously, but know youre coming out here with a purpose to get your work in and not necessarily care about the outcome, he said. But as athletes and competitors, we want the outcome to be good every time. Regardless of that, you just try to focus on what youre working on and try to keep that competitive edge as well. This is a lot better than my last outing. The fact I doubled my innings helps and my arm and my body still feels good and I still kept my mechanics. Im trying to take that as a positive and run with it. Jarrod Dysons single off Lincecums left foot in the fourth was the only hit he allowed. Lincecum was opposed by Luke Hochevar, who allowed two runs and four hits in three innings for Kansas City.

The Royals selected Hochevar with the No. 1 pick in the 2006 draft and Lincecum went 10th overall that same year to the Giants. We knew he was there and he was probably going to end up being one of the top two or three picks, Lincecum said. He had to have been just because of his stuff. You got to see it today; its live 93-95, 96 (mph). I think the matter of him, just like all of us, is just a matter of locating your pitches. He said the Royals scouted him a little bit before the draft. I was more of an undersized pitcher, so wherever I fell I was happy with, said Lincecum, who is listed at 5-foot-11 and 157 pounds, compared to 6-5 and 222 for Hochevar. The Royals had a rough fth inning when heralded prospects Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas left with injuries. Hosmer hurt his right shoulder when he landed awkwardly diving for a ground ball in the fth. He was checked out by the team doctor and could be able to play Tuesday. Moustakas had a bruised right knee after he was hit by a Santiago Casilla pitch in the bottom half. He will be re-evaluated on Tuesday. I was only on the ground for a couple of seconds and was walking to rst when Skip pulled me out, Moustakas said. It feels a little sore, getting hit by 94 (mph) on the side of the knee. Hos went down and I went down right after that, kind of a good scare. Were both OK. Hos is feeling good. We were in the trainers room together, but everything seems to be OK though. Royals manager Ned Yost said Hosmer is likely to play Tuesday, but well see with Moose how he is.

The other trainers and boxers who saw the ght thought she did. They were coming up to us after the ght saying, Youre the champion, Croft said. There is just no way we won just two or three rounds in the ght. Croft said Mucino came out fast, hitting McMorrow with some big shots in the rst couple of rounds, but McMorrow weathered it and turned the ght in her favor in the middle rounds. Starting in the third round, I looked at [Mucinos] face and she could not believe Melissa was not afraid and not taking a step backward, Croft said. This girl, Mucino, shes a banger. She ghts in what people would say is the traditional Mexican mode. This girl was, from the third round on, she was running. I could see in her face she wanted no part of Melissa.

As rough up Peavy, Sox

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENDALE, Ariz. Jake Peavy was roughed up again in his second spring start for the Chicago White Sox. He even crossed up a sign with catcher Tyler Flowers on a pitch that Brandon Allen hit for a two-run single. At least his condence is still intact. No doubt in my mind that if Im healthy I will get people out, he said. There is no chance I will give that up after a rough spring training start. Peavy left with one out in the third and was charged with six runs and eight hits in a 9-4 to the Oakland Athletics on Monday. Its early. Ive got ve, six more of these to get better, he said. We all have to get better. I certainly will. You want results, you dont want to walk out there and give up runs and hits. Peavy made his spring debut against

Milwaukee on Wednesday and surrendered three runs and four hits over two innings in a 10-6 loss. The 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner threw more breaking balls in this outing. I threw a lot of breaking balls, some good and some not so good, he said. Just had a hard time commanding the outer half of the plate. Peavy said he has to work on his tempo. Injuries limited him to 19 games last season. Collin Cowgill went 3 for 3 with three RBIs for Oakland, which nished with 15 hits. Tyson Ross allowed three hits in three scoreless innings. As slugger Daric Barton went 0 for 3 with two walks in his rst spring game. Barton, who batted second and served as the designated hitter, is coming back from surgery in September for a torn labrum in his right shoulder. The rst baseman has yet to make throws in a game.

Raiders to release TE Boss Free agency set to begin

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders plan to release tight end Kevin Boss just one year into a four-year contract. Boss agent, Scott Smith, tweeted Monday night that the Raiders told him Boss will be released Tuesday and become an unrestricted free agent. ESPN and NFL Network rst reported the pending move. Boss signed a $16 million, four-year contract last summer to replace Pro Bowl tight end Zach Miller. Boss wasnt utilized much in coach Hue Jacksons offense, nishing the season with 28 catches for 368 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games. Oakland drafted two tight ends last year in David Ausberry and Richard Gordon, who played sparingly as rookies. The Raiders also have 2009 draft pick Brandon Myers under contract. Myers caught 16 passes for 154 yards last season and has 32 catches for 250 yards in three NFL seasons. Boss is the latest player released in an offseason overhaul in Oakland, following defensive backs Stanford Routt, Chris Johnson and Hiram Eugene as new general manager

Reggie McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen put their own stamp on the team in the rst offseason since the death of longtime owner Al Davis. The Raiders announced they tendered oneyear contracts to restricted free agent defensive lineman Desmond Bryant and three exclusive rights free agents: fullback Marcel Reece, defensive end Mason Brodine and cornerback Bryan McCann. The offers mean the Raiders have the right to match any contract offer to Bryant or receive compensation if he leaves. The three exclusive rights players can negotiate with other teams. Oakland also conrmed it had restructured linebacker Aaron Currys contract to keep him for this season. Curry was acquired last October from Seattle for a 2012 seventhround pick and a conditional fth-rounder in 2013. The Raiders had previously restructured deals with quarterback Carson Palmer, defensive tackle Richard Seymour and safety Michael Huff to save more than $20 million against the 2012 salary cap.

A lot of things stood out to me. It seems Harbaughs throws were on target, too. Jim Harbaugh makes 49ers veteran emergency board: Best coachs workout in NFL history (especially while wearing khakis & a sweatshirt), Niners CEO Jed York tweeted. Moss, who worked out last Tuesday with

Open for business, wild as it might get. The NFLs calendar turns toward a new season Tuesday when free agency begins. As if there hasnt been enough news with the Peyton Manning tour, Saints bounties and veterans being cut by their teams, now comes the roster feeding frenzy. Four-time MVP Manning is, of course, the top free agent after he was released last week by Indianapolis. So far, hes met only with the Broncos and Cardinals. Manning did not show at the Dolphins headquarters Monday despite speculaPeyton tion he would meet with Manning the team. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross arrived at the team complex at midmorning, and several players including quarterback Chad Henne showed up around the same time to work out. Henne is a free agent and not expected back this season. A media stakeout at the complex began

when a local TV station camera crew arrived at 4 a.m. Half a dozen TV cameras and a handful of reporters eventually gathered across the street. They werent allowed on the teams property, but a Dolphins ofcial brought out water, pizza and napkins. Curious motorists occasionally pulled up to ask for an update. While Manning is pursued, many other game-changers, such as Ray Rice, Wes Welker, Matt Forte and DeSean Jackson, were given franchise tags and will require compensation if they switch teams. Still, there are dozens of enticing options, from Mario Williams to Mario Manningham, from Vincent Jackson to Matt Flynn. You go into pro free agency to try to address a need, hopefully not needs, Jaguars general manager Gene Smith said. You want to get a couple of players out of it that can come in here and help you right away. Youre looking for a quality starter or maybe trying to ll a situational role on your team. But lling huge holes, thats not where you want to be. Addressing those needs is best done in the draft. But that grab bag isnt until late April, by which time many teams will have spent many millions of dollars on free agents.

The athletic, 6-foot-4 Moss ts the bill. Moss said he initially retired for personal reasons outside of football and considered making a comeback late in the 2011 season before ultimately deciding to give his body more time to train. He suffered a shoulder injury during 2010 with New England.

Sharks pick up crucial win against Oilers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EDMONTON, Alberta Logan Couture scored a tiebreaking goal early in the third period and the San Jose Sharks snapped a ve-game slide with a 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night. Joe Thornton had a goal and an assist while Torrey Mitchell also scored for the Sharks (34-25-9), who are trying to get back into the playoff picture after losing 11 of their previous 13 games.

San Jose is one point back of eighth-place Colorado in the tight Western Conference race. The Avs won 3-2 in overtime against Anaheim on Monday. Joe Thorton Ryan Whitney and Taylor Hall scored for the Oilers (26-36-7), who have lost six of seven.

San Jose got off to a fast start, taking advantage when Oilers goalie Devan Dubnyk lost sight of a bouncing puck. Mitchell converted a rebound of a Tommy Wingels shot just 1:07 into the game. The Oilers tied it with 49 seconds left in the rst. Whitney wound up from the top of the faceoff circle and red a shot past Antti Niemi while both teams were down to four players a side. Dubnyk made up for his earlier gaffe midway through the second,

coming across to make a huge stick save on a rebound attempt by T.J. Galiardi. The Sharks went up 2-1 on the power play a minute later. Patrick Marleau fed a pass through to Thornton, who snapped home his 15th of the season. Edmonton drew even again with ve minutes to play in the second on a tremendous effort by Hall. After blocking a shot at his own blue line, Hall turned on the jets to outrace a pair of San Jose defenders to the puck and

beat Niemi for his 26th of the season. The Sharks got their go-ahead goal 38 seconds into the third period when Dan Boyle unleashed a hard shot from the point that Couture tipped past Dubnyk while on the power play. NOTES: It was the fourth and nal scheduled meeting between the teams this season. Edmonton won two of the rst three in shootouts. ... San Jose had gone six games without a power-play goal before scoring with the man advantage in the second period. ...

Feds release health overhaul blueprint

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Fifty million people in America lack health insurance and the law says most of them must soon be provided coverage. But how to deliver? The Obama administration Monday finalized an ambitious blueprint for new state-based markets that will offer consumers one-stop shopping along the lines of amazon.com. It may sound simple enough, but getting there will be like running an obstacle course. The rule comes just two weeks before the Supreme Court takes up a challenge to the constitutionality of the law in a case brought by states. Many governors and legislators are on the sidelines awaiting the outcome, even as time is running out to act. Starting Jan. 1, 2014, new health insurance markets called exchanges must be up and running in every state, the linchpin of a grand plan to make health insurance accessible and affordable to those who now struggle to find and keep coverage. Individual consumers and small businesses will be able to shop online for competitively priced coverage, and many will receive government subsidies to help pay premiums. More competition will drive down costs and exchanges will give individuals and small businesses the same purchasing power big businesses have today, Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius said in a statement. Experts say its anybodys guess how the national rollout will go. If a state is not ready, the law requires the federal government to step in to run its exchange. But the Obama administrations request for $800 million to operate federal exchanges has gotten a frosty reception from congressional Republicans.

At this point its still an open question as to whether all the states will open up as of 1-1-2014.
Neil Trautwein of the National Retail Federation

At this point its still an open question as to whether all the states will open up as of 1-1-2014, said Neil Trautwein of the National Retail Federation, a business group whose members will be heavily affected by the law. Reaction on Monday to the 640-page rule was mixed. Consumer organizations, the insurance industry and some business groups gave it favorable or neutral reviews. Republican governors panned it. The new markets are for individuals and small businesses buying plans. Most people who now have employer health insurance will not have to make changes. Its a design that works well in Massachusetts, where an exchange has been in place for several years. Massachusetts achieved political consensus about its health care overhaul under former GOP Gov. Mitt Romney, who is now seeking his partys presidential nomination. Thats far different from the enduring national divisions over President Barack Obamas law, even though it used Romneys as a foundation. Setting up 50 state exchanges wouldnt be easy even if the federal overhaul enjoyed widespread support. For things to go smoothly, state and federal officials must work together to verify private personal and financial details for millions of people, make sure that consumers are enrolled in the right health plan, and accurately calculate how much government aid, if any, each household is entitled to. And with customer service the goal, consumers need to get answers in hours, not weeks.

Nearly 30 million people are eventually expected to get private health coverage through exchanges, about half of whom are currently uninsured. Another group of uninsured people as many as 16 million low-income Americans expected to qualify for Medicaid could also enter the system through their exchanges. States are moving in fits and starts to set up the new markets. Only 13 states and Washington, DC, have adopted a plan. Progress varies widely among other rest. Under the law, most Americans will have a legal responsibility to carry health insurance, either through their job, a government program or by buying their own. Millions will receive financial assistance for their premiums. Whether that amounts to an unconstitutional expansion of federal power is among the subjects of a showdown that begins March 26, when the Supreme Court is set to begin an unusual three days of arguments. A decision is expected by June. Sebelius says she expects the court to uphold Obamas Affordable Care Act and thinks states will move quickly once the court has ruled. States have until Jan. 1, 2013 to obtain federal approval for their exchanges. Among the rules key elements: States can receive conditional federal approval for their exchanges if their plans are far along but not final by Jan. 1, 2013. States can operate exchanges in partnership with other states. The federal government will

Health care lawyer Paul Clement a court regular

By Mark Sherman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Paul Clement used to argue for the federal governments power until he started arguing against it. But hes no ip-opping political candidate; hes a lawyer. Changes like this are part of his job. Clement is playing a key role in three politically charged Supreme Court cases in which Republican-led states object to Obama administration policies or federal laws on health care, immigration and redrawing political boundaries. Paul Clement In the biggest of those, the 45-yearold law school acquaintance of President Barack Obama will be trying to sink Obamas health care overhaul. Not that long ago, Clement would regularly stand before the justices and defend even the most aggressive uses of federal power, making his case without written notes and parrying questions with an easy banter. He argued for the Bush administrations policy on detaining suspected terrorists, a federal law outlawing a medical procedure called partial-birth abortion by opponents, the McCain-Feingold law aimed at limiting the inuence of money in politics and a federal ban on the use of marijuana for medical purposes. Clement was President George W. Bushs top Supreme Court lawyer, the solicitor general, the last government job on his impeccable conservative resume. He was a law clerk for Justice Antonin Scalia, then worked for John Ashcroft, both when Ashcroft was a senator and attorney general. If a Republican wins the White House, expect to nd

CPUC: PG&E kept poor records prior to explosion
SAN FRANCISCO State investigators issued a report Monday blasting Pacic Gas & Electric Co. for keeping disorganized, difcult to access records about its natural gas pipelines in the years preceding the fatal San Bruno explosion. The findings by the California Public Utilities Commission staff were part of an investigation into whether the record keepthe community as a whole to address their needs, Johns said. The announcement came just under a month after the city publicly called out the utility agency for walking away from negotiations. PG&E representatives responded by saying it His recent run of cases hasnt hurt his chances. Theres no doubt that Paul has become the leading advocate for the most deeply conservative causes in the law. That is a reputation he has worked hard to earn, said David Frederick, a Supreme Court lawyer who often represents consumers.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

The gas-fed ames were roaring for more than 90 minutes before workers were able to manually close valves to cut off the ruptured line. Rebuilding has started and is still ongoing. Earlier this month, the California Public Utilities Commission said it is following up on reports from welders with the United Association of Plumbers, Pipe Fitters and Steamtters who raised the concerns after working on tests of PG&E pipelines in 2011. CPUCs Consumer Protection and Safety Division has already investigated claims that PG&E found leaks in some distribution pipelines but failed to make timely repairs. That investigation had thus far found no evidence to support those claims. Last month, San Bruno petitioned the CPUC to become part of a global settlement with the utility agency. But the centerpiece of Clements work, and of the high court term, is the electionyear fight over the law that is intended to extend health care coverage to more than 30 million people. Clement will carry the bulk of the argument among several attorneys with clients opposing the law. Representing Florida and 25 other states, Clements central argument is that Congress went too far in requiring nearly every American to purchase insurance or pay a penalty. federally approved methods for coordinating with the Medicaid program in their states. Exchanges must be able to use intermediaries called navigators to help educate consumers and small businesses about how the new system works. Exchanges must be financially self-sufficient by 2015, by charging fees to support their operations.

U.S.official: Suspect in killings had head injury

By Heidi Vogt and Mirwais Khan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan The soldier accused of killing 16 Afghan civilians, most of them children, and burning their bodies was trained as a sniper and recently suffered a head injury in Iraq, U.S. officials said Monday. The name of the suspect, a married, 38year-old father of two, has not been released. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said he may face capital charges, and that the U.S. must resist pressure from Washington and Kabul to change course in Afghanistan because of anti-American outrage over the shooting. We seem to get tested almost every other day with challenges that test our leadership and our commitment to the mission that were involved in, Panetta told reporters traveling with him to Kyrgyzstan. War is hell. A U.S. ofcial said that during a recent tour of duty in Iraq, the suspect was involved in a vehicle accident and suffered a head injury. The ofcial spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter is under investigation. The vehicle accident was not a combatrelated event, the ofcial said. There was no available indication about the extent of the injury, or whether his injury could be linked to any abnormal behavior afterward. Two U.S. ofcials speaking on condition of anonymity said the suspect had been trained as a sniper. Sundays attack in southern Kandahar province unfolded in two villages near a U.S. base. Villager Mohammad Zahir recounted how an American soldier burst into his home

Shootings dents support for war

in the middle of the night, searched the rooms, then dropped to a knee and shot his father in the thigh as he emerged from a bedroom. He was not holding anything not even a cup of tea, Zahir said. The shootings come as anti-Americanism already is boiling over in Afghanistan after U.S. troops burned Qurans last month and a video of Marines urinating on alleged Taliban corpses was posted on the Internet in January. If the attack unleashes another wave of antiforeigner hatred, it could threaten the future of the U.S.-led coalitions mission in Afghanistan. The events have also raised doubts among U.S. political gures that the long and costly war is worthy. An enraged Afghan President Hamid Karzai called it an assassination, an intentional killing of innocent civilians that cannot be forgiven. He demanded an explanation from Washington for the deaths, which included nine children and three women. NATO and member countries said the slayings were a blow to the alliances efforts to cultivate trust but would not affect the timeline to hand over security operations to Afghans by the end of 2014. The White House said U.S. objectives will not change because of the killings. Outraged Afghan lawmakers called for a suspension of talks on how to formalize a

long-term U.S. military presence in the country and demanded that the shooter face trial in an Afghan court. The soldier, a staff sergeant who has been in the military for 11 years and served three tours in Iraq, was being held in pretrial connement in Kandahar by the U.S. military while Army ofcials review his complete deployment and medical history, Pentagon ofcials said. The soldiers name was not released because it would be inappropriate to do so before charges are filed, said Pentagon spokesman George Little. But Panetta, his rst public remarks on the incident, said Monday evening the death penalty is a consideration as the military moves to investigate and possibly put the suspect on trial. The soldier was deployed to Afghanistan on Dec. 3 with the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, based at Joint Base LewisMcChord located south of Seattle, according to a congressional source, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. He was attached Feb. 1 to the village stability program in Belambai, a half-mile from one of the villages where the attack took place, the source said.

WASHINGTON The weekend massacre of Afghan civilians, allegedly carried out by a U.S. soldier, newly undermines the rationale for a war that a majority of Americans already thought wasnt worth ghting. But the Obama administration and its allies insisted Monday the horric episode would not speed up plans to pull out foreign forces. President Barack Obama called the episode tragic, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called it inexplicable. Obama told a television interviewer Monday that the killings underscore the need to hand over responsibility for security to Afghans. But he said it wont lead to an early withdrawal of U.S. troops. I think its important for us to make sure that we get out in a responsible way so that we dont end up having to go back in, Obama told Pittsburgh station KDKA. It makes me more determined to make sure that were getting our troops home. Its time. Clinton told reporters at the United Nations in New York, This terrible incident does not change our steadfast dedication to protecting the Afghan people and to doing everything we can to build a strong and stable Afghanistan.

British court: Right-to-die case can proceed

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON In a case that challenges Britains definition of murder, a severely disabled man who says his life has no privacy or dignity will be granted a hearing on his request that a doctor be allowed to give him a lethal injection. Tony Nicklinson suffered a paralyzing stroke in 2005 that left him unable to speak or move below his neck. The former rugby

player and corporate manager requires constant care and communicates largely by blinking, although his mind has remained unaffected. I am fed up with my life and dont want to spend the next 20 years or so like this, Nicklinson Tony Nicklinson said in a statement.

In January, Nicklinson asked the High Court to declare that any doctor who kills him with his consent will not be charged with murder. On Monday, a judge said the request may proceed, making it the first right-to-die case of its kind to get a hearing in a British court. The 57-year-olds condition is stable, though Nicklinson has refused since 2007 to take any life-prolonging drugs recommended by doctors, including heart medication or

blood thinners. The ministry of justice argued that granting Nicklinsons request would require changing the law on murder and that such changes must be made by Parliament. The government had applied to have the case dismissed. In his ruling, Justice William Charles said Nicklinson was now inviting the court to cross the Rubicon and that his case had an arguable base.

the crime but what exact crime it is. Wagstaffe offered jurors two theories of rst-degree murder premeditated and death during the commission of another crime, that being the robbery of her car keys. Jurors can also consider seconddegree murder or voluntary manslaughter which is the crime the defense said more accurately portrays the facts of the case. Nothing could have predicted what happened on that day, Goldscheider said. Biletnikoff, 20 and the daughter of former football star Fred Biletnikoff, and Ali met in 1997 at respective substance abuse programs that overlapped in San Mateo. Ali, who had joined Project 90 after testing dirty twice as part of his probation for twice kidnapping a former girlfriend., had been clean two years and was working part time as a counselor with the program. The weekend before their confrontation, Ali drank beer with some friends in San Francisco followed by using crack, heroin and crank. The day of Biletnikoffs death, the two met up to car shop but instead he confessed his relapse and the two drove around and had sex before going to Project 90 to speak with his mentors. Both eventually ended up at the Friendship Hall on Second Avenue and, alone inside an office, Ali asked Biletnikoff for her car keys. At this point, the prosecution said an angry Ali choked Biletnikoff rst with his hands then with a black T-shirt to nish the job. No matter how much he wants to cry ... and oat stories and lies, the fact remains unchangeable that this is all about him, Wagstaffe said. Ali, according to Wagstaffe, was mad at Biletnikoff but also afraid that a probation-administered urine test the following day would test positive for drugs, sending him to prison and possibly deportation. Ali, who said Biletnikoff called him names and compared him to a former Planning Commission hearings which culminated in last Mondays 4-0 approval of the permit. Vice Chair Scot Masters dissented. City Manager Jeff Maltbie agendized the item to discuss whether the council actually wanted an appeal a majority is required for a council to do so but both Klein and Councilman Matt Olbert last week were ready to make the move themselves. Despite the council majority wanting new consideration, all but a few public speakers last night supported club owner Fred Duncan and asked the council to leave the decision alone. They called the clubs makeover under Duncans ownership a great improvement over the previous dive and said his plan will actually help prevent the safety concerns that worry the council. Duncan wants to turn an empty parking lot behind the 612 El Camino Real club into an open air patio with a food truck, live acoustic music and seating for 96 patrons. Duncan received a parking exemption last year with little fanfare themselves or use the bathroom. Should you notice a person in such a situation, Quigley said not to try to rescue the person or confront the trafcker. Instead, alert airline personnel who can let the pilot know. Ultimately, authorities will be identied and often airport personnel will be asked to discretely identify the person in question. Nancy Rivard, an American Airlines ight attendant and founder of Airline Ambassadors, shared many stories during the training about trafcking being stopped simply by noticing small details like a person with a baby who was traveling without a diaper bag or a man with a child who didnt know the little ones name or age. Sandy Dhuyvetter, TravelTalk Media and AAI member, explained many cases of human trafcking can be stopped as long as people speak up. Dhuyvetter added, that as those looking to prevent trafcking get smarter, so will the indiboyfriend leading up to the fatal confrontation, claimed the ligature was added later when he staged the body to look like a sex crime. If the couple were locked in the violent struggle argued by the prosecution, somebody in Friendship Hall would have heard something, Goldscheider said. Both sides agree Ali moved Biletnikoffs body in a Project 90 van rst to his sisters home where he pleaded with his nephew for money and then to Caada College in Redwood City where he removed her pants and dragged the body down the side of a hill where it was left spread-eagle one final indignity, Wagstaffe said. Goldscheider said the way Ali left the body was brutal but not indicative of his motive or premeditation in the murder. Instead, he said the staging showed Alis panic. After leaving the body, Ali returned the van and fled to Mexico in Biletnikoffs car. He was apprehended at the border when he tried returning to the United States. The trial, which began in late January, is actually the second for Ali. In 2001, he was convicted of rst-degree murder and received a life sentence for the death and the previous kidnapping. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the verdict in 2009 for racial discrimination during jury selection and sent the case back to San Mateo County. In his closing remarks this time, Wagstaffe asked jurors to return a verdict of rst-degree murder. After 13 years and 26 days, it is time for justice, he said. Ali remains in custody without bail. The defense continues its closing argument today followed by the prosecution rebuttal.

ALI
Continued from page 1
that pressure on her neck, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, later telling jurors strangulation takes roughly three to ve minutes to cause death. Wagstaffe addressed jurors for the better part of the day, repeatedly focusing on what he said were Alis choices in the crime, its cover up and his ight to Mexico. Defense attorney Peter Goldscheider nished out the afternoon and continues his arguments today that Tracey Biletnikoffs death was a crime of passion fueled by Alis bipolar disorder, emotional anguish over a prior girlfriends rejection and the victim barraging him with insults and at least one hit. Ali, 36, testied during more than two days on the stand he doesnt remember strangling Biletnikoff and that his hands went from pushing her by the shoulders to her neck. The next thing he recalled was her on the ground, white foam from her mouth and eyes bulging, and he believed she was dead. But Wagstaffe, showing jurors vivid autopsy photos of Biletnikoffs heavily bruised and scratched neck, said even the defenses own pathology expert said the death could not have happened in that way because she obviously fought. This was a death struggle going on here, Wagstaffe said. Although the trial has included testimony about drugs, women and sex and Alis defense has argued psychiatry, Wagstaffe said the case is simply a classic domestic violence murder underscored by Alis previous violent confrontations with other women who had the audacity to tell him no. Biletnikoffs Feb. 15, 1999 death inside the Friendship Hall, a San Mateo meeting hall for substance abuse programs, is not a matter of who committed

CLUB
Continued from page 1
Councilmen Matt Grocott and Bob Grassilli disagreed, as much over the process as the decision. Were setting a precedent here ... and I dont necessarily think its a good one, Grassilli said. Grocott suggested The Carlos Clubs one-year permit granted by the Planning Commission stand and, if problems arise, revisit the matter at renewal time. If they fail that, then they fail, Grocott said. But Councilman Ron Collins said he wants more information and to hear from Sheriffs Capt. Greg Rothaus, head of the San Carlos Patrol Bureau. The appeal hearing is scheduled for the rst meeting in April. The decision to hold an appeal was quick in comparison to often-lengthy

but hit some hurdles requesting a conditional use permit after Rothaus worried that expanding the night club could also expand what he said are public safety problems. Rothaus reported 131 incidents from the club; a later breakdown by the Sheriffs Ofce showed that 69 were spot checks initiated by deputies and seven were more specically alcohol-related like driving while under the inuence. In calling for an appeal last week, Klein said the Planning Commission was remiss in not speaking with Rothaus again before taking its vote to clear up any lingering concerns or questions about the data and overall public safety issues. Rothaus had made a presentation at a meeting in the fall when the permit request rst came before the commission and several members last Monday said that was sufcient.

SFO
Continued from page 1
the only independent charity of the overall airline industry, led the training program Monday for airline, airport and hotel employees, as a front-line of defense. Deborah Quigley, United Airlines customer service operations and member of Airline Ambassadors, explained airports are a natural way for human trafckers to move people around. As a result, she said employees in the airport should know the warning signs. There are many signs that someone may be a victim: they are unsure of where they are going, afraid of people in uniforms, claim to be an adult with incorrect documentation, dressed inappropriately, may appear to be drugged or malnourished and not free to talk for

viduals wanting to continue their business. Human trafficking victim Petra Hensley shared her story of being a 16year-old in the Czech Republic who was kidnapped while walking to see a friend. She was beaten, bound, held without access to food and water and raped repeatedly before escaping. Hensley described how a girl who was also there was shot on her second day of being held. The experience gave Hensley a desire to speak up against human trafcking. Shes hoping through education to change the attitude of people who notice something might be wrong but dont speak up. To report possible cases of human trafcking call the Homeland Security tipline at (866) 347-2423. For more information about Airline Ambassadors visit www.airlineamb.org.

TUESDAY, MARCH 13, 2012 PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Something in which

youve been involved has greater potential than you realize. Fortunately, youll become aware of its total value and do something about it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Make your judgment calls based on what you like as well as on tactics that have worked for you before. If it was a winner in the past, chances are it will be again. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your leadership qualities are likely to be accentuated. Others will do as you ask, not because of any commands you make but because youll inspire them to do so.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Itll be the things you unselfishly do for others that will yield you some surprising benefits. Whatever you do from the goodness of your heart will be justly rewarded. CANCER (June 21-July 22) If you get the chance, spend the day with a friend in whom you can confide. It can be very helpful to thrash things out with someone who has your best interests at heart. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your manner allows others to feel comfortable in your presence, making you easy to work with. Those who join up with you could end up achieving something they couldnt do on their own. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A better-than-average

cycle for developing new friends and/or social contacts is opening up for you at this point in time. Make the most of it by getting out and mingling with new people. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You could be extremely adept in helping others sort out their problems. If asked, dont hesitate to offer what you think might be a good solution to someone in need. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Dont hesitate to take a firm stance on an issue about which you are extremely familiar. Eventually those who think differently will see the light. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Someone who

needs the skill and knowledge you possess will be approaching you for help. Be reasonable about the fees you charge for your services. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Instead of looking at life too seriously, think of it as a game to be played that youd like to win. If you follow the rules, it can be both fun and productive at the same time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Youre likely to have a great deal of strength and inner resolve upon which to draw. If you make the most of it, it will not only serve you well but also act as an inspiration to others. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.
