Districts send out potential cuts

Many teachers will receive preliminary notices that they may be laid off; protests planned
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Today will be a bad day for many working in schools as a number of teachers will receive notices that they may be laid off. California requires districts to send out preliminary notices to teachers by March 15, many of which will go before school boards starting this week.
Often the number is rened before nal layoff notices are sent out by May 15. Teachers who are laid off could be asked back over the summer, when the states budget becomes clear. Local districts are currently working with conservative budgets in case Gov. Jerry Browns budget doesnt materialize. As proposed, education funding is tied to the passage of a tax measure to go before voters in November. Without it, districts will face mid-
year cuts, which they need to budget for now. The Education Coalition opposes the disproportionate $4.8 billion in trigger reductions to our schools and community colleges that would kick in if the governors November tax initiative fails, Jill Wynns, president of the California School Boards Association said during a Tuesday press conference. Our schools would suffer 90 percent of the $5.4 billion in total trigger cuts, and thats unthinkable.
California schools and community colleges have had more than $20 million in funding cuts and deferrals over the past four years, according to the California Teachers Association. Protests are scheduled throughout the state today as well to protest possible cuts. In San Mateo County, a number of districts

More rain on the way

FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
SACRAMENTO The decisions California voters are likely to face this fall came into sharper focus Wednesday as Gov. Jerry Brown, legislative leaders and a coalition with which he had been at odds announced a deal for a proposed ballot measure to temporarily raise the states Jerry Brown sales and income taxes. The budding compromise is a fallout from Californias ongoing budget decits and a result of the governors failure last year to get Republican support in the Legislature for an extension of tax hikes that have since expired. If passed by voters in November, the tax hikes would raise anywhere from $7.1 billion to $9 billion a year at their height, according to the state Department of Finance. Californians also are likely to confront a competing ballot initiative that would raise income taxes for nearly all wageearners to help fund schools. That proposal is backed by wealthy Los Angeles attorney Molly Munger, who so far has refused to back away from her putting her initiative on the fall

Significant flooding is unlikely, Anderson said. However, areas in Burlingame along El Camino Real were suffering some ood conditions early yesterday afternoon.

Thief grabs delis fancy meat, skips cheap cuts
SALT LAKE CITY Police in Salt Lake City are trying to nd a thief with a discriminating palate who broke into a deli and stole its finest meats and cheeses. Caputos owner Troy Petersen says ve or six legs of prosciutto, artisan salami and the fanciest imported cheeses were gone when the burglary was discovered Monday morning. The less expensive cuts of meat were untouched. Petersen says the lock to a walk-in cooler thats accessible from outdoors was broken, and about $2,400 worth of food was gone. He tells the Deseret News that replacing the gourmet products will take weeks because many come from distributors in southern Europe. Petersen says the thief will have a tough time selling some of the products, because special cutting tools are required to process them. a police detective. Police found the girls address by tracing her cellphone number. The prank? To text: I hid the body ... Now what? to a random phone number.

Accused roommate killer gets May hearing

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Burlingame man accused of fatally bludgeoning his roommate with an unknown object and leaving the body with an air freshener inside the apartment for days will learn in May if hell stand trial for murder. Lawrence Arthur Hoffman, 64, has pleaded not guilty to the early December death of Joe Consentino, 70. Yesterday, he was scheduled for May 30 preliminary hearing on the evidence.
Lawrence Hoffman
Although an autopsy showed that Consentino died from blunt trauma, authorities have to uncover what exactly he was hit with although they theorize it may have been a hammer or mallet. Burlingame police arrested Hoffman Dec. 8 after Burlingame police received a tip from an
acquaintance that he may have killed his roommate. The man did not know Hoffmans address or the name of the roommate. The police traced Hoffman to a Glendale, Calif. hotel room using his cellphone and he directed them back to the apartment on the 1900 block of Garden Drive just south of the Millbrae border where he lived with Consentino. Consentinos body was inside the hallway and police said he had been there at least a few days and possibly up to a week. Hoffman remains in custody without bail. Authorities say DNA evidence recently found on clothing McElhiney was wearing was a match to Tucker. Tuckers DNA prole was in a national database following his arrest in 1978 on suspicion of rape in Spokane, Wash. Police believe Tucker came across McElhiney and attacked her while burglarizing a home. An autopsy showed she died of blunt-force trauma to the head and had been sexually assaulted.

Obituaries
William Thomas Quickert of San Bruno, died peacefully March 5, 2012. He was 83. Born in San Jose to Ruth and Thomas Quickert, the family moved to San Francisco/Daly City in the 40s, where Quickert, who went by Bill, met the love of his life, Norma Moore (Skip) in Crocker Elementary School. Quickert was instrumental in the founding of Bethany Presbyterian Church in San Bruno, where he remained a respected member and elder for the rest of his life. He established a campership fund for Westminster Woods Christian Camp for children less fortunate than his own. He is survived by his devoted wife of 62 years, Norma; children: Patrick (Cathie) Quickert, Daniel (Patty) Quickert, Nancy (Gary) Bertolini, Kathryn Quickert and Charles (Theresa) Quickert; grandchildren: Aaron, Jennifer, Jacqueline, Brent, Gina, Keith and Kevin; great-grandson Max; sisters Eleanor (Harley) Worthington, Christine (George) Walsh; brother-in-law Wayne Lovelace; and many cousins, nieces and nephews. His beloved sister, Alice Lovelace and many dear cousins predecease him. A celebration of his life will be held 1 p.m. Saturday, March 24 in Bethany Presbyterian Church, 2400 Rosewood Drive, San Bruno. Condolences may be offered to the family through Chapel of the Highlands in Millbrae.
Making an impact can seem like an impossible goal for anyone, particularly for teens, but there are opportunities to be heard even without casting a ballot. This weekend, local youth have an opportunity to learn about a variety of topics during the San Mateo County Youth Conference. Hosted by the San Mateo County Youth Commission with the help of other San Mateo County groups, the free Saturday event at the College of San Mateo offers panel discussions with leaders, presentations with movies, how-to lessons and the opportunity to meet with a variety of local organizations. This is a great place to learn how to step up, get involved and be empowered. Its so important for youth to feel the communitys positive efforts and realize that they can be part of the change instead of thinking that its the adults who do everything. This is the place to be to see the amazing work of youth in our community and to be a part of it. This is a great place to start for youth who dont know how to get involved, said 18-year-old Seema Chaundhry, a senior at Sequoia High School. The youth-driven event doesnt stray from conversations that are often difcult for adults to address with their teens. Chaundhry, for example, is taking part in the Sex, Drugs and Rock N Roll (without the Sex and Rock N Roll) presentation. The goal is to have an open
conversation and educate teens about alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. Chaundhry noted many parents are in denial about their childs access to and/or use of drugs. But annual assessments of students has shown its an issue, she said. As a teen myself, I know one of the worst things is walking around with the wrong information. We are strongly encouraging youth to come out and be honest with us about questions they may have regarding [alcohol, tobacco and other drugs] use and are looking forward to having engaging conversations with them that we can all take something away from, she said. Sixteen-year-old Robert Sukhovitsky, a junior at Sequoia High School, joined the commission in hopes of standing out to college but soon realized it gave him an opportunity to help others. During this weekends event hell be teaching the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu interactive workshop which will include a demonstration, teach youth self defense techniques and a rape-prevention session for ladies. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a very positive energy for the lives of youth. It stresses non-violence and health, he said. Sukhovitsky will also moderate the legislation and young leaders panels designed to answer teens questions and also provide steps to become more involved. Mental health is also a big issue for all people. Heather Ngai, a 17-year-old senior from Burlingame High School, will be part of the Project Happiness presen-
tation, which includes a lm showing and panel discussion about ways to maintain happiness. Teenagers are especially under an enormous amount of stress and pressure, and part of what every person should have in their lives is happiness. Happiness is something that we all search for and want, but we dont know how to really achieve it; its so abstract of a concept. And I think that more people can gain happiness and by sharing it, we can create a more peaceful and harmonious society and life, said Ngai. There will also be discussion about teen parenthood, the cycle of violence, budget cuts, undocumented youth, local policies and the Hillsdale Effect a student group that raises money for micro-loans to give to women in Guatemala to start businesses. Students hope the variety of topics will mean everyone can learn something. I want people to feel inspired and ready to start their own revolutions. This entire event is geared towards helping youth feel empowered as well as adults to see the work that people are doing to change their communities, said Ngai. The free San Mateo County Youth Conference will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, March 17 in Building 10 of the College of San Mateo, 1700 W. Hillsdale Blvd., San Mateo. Limited registration remains open meaning people can attend but may need to bring their own breakfast and lunch. For more information visit www.smcyouthconference.com.

Thieves rolling Tide detergent out of stores

By Ben Nuckols
WASHINGTON When police in suburban Washington raided the home of a suspected drug dealer last fall, they found the cocaine, all right, but also something unusual on the mans shelves: nearly 20 large bottles of liquid Tide laundry detergent. It turns out his customers were paying for drugs not with cash but with stolen Tide, police said. Tide has become a hot commodity
among thieves at supermarkets and drugstores in at least some parts of the country. For a variety of reasons, the detergent in the familiar ame-orange bottle is well-suited for resale on the black market: Everybody needs laundry detergent, and Tide is the nations most popular brand. Its expensive, selling for up to $20 for a large bottle at stores. And it doesnt spoil. One Safeway supermarket in Prince Georges County, Md., was losing thousands of dollars worth of Tide a week
before police made more than two dozen arrests. In St. Paul, Minn., a man pleaded guilty to stealing more than $6,000 worth of the stuff from a Walmart and was sentenced to 90 days in jail. Police in Newport News, Va., and other cities around the country have reported a spike in thefts. In the Washington area, some CVS pharmacies have been attaching electronic anti-theft tags to bottles. One CVS in Washingtons well-to-do Dupont Circle neighborhood keeps Tide locked up behind glass.

White House names San Franciscan as new AIDS czar
SAN FRANCISCO A San Francisco physician who oversaw the citys efforts to prevent HIV infections has been named as director of the Office of National AIDS Policy. President Barack Obama announced Dr. Grant Colfaxs appointment as the White House AIDS czar on Wednesday. Colfax replaces Jeff Grant Colfax Crowley, who left the position in December. As national director of AIDS policy, Colfax is charged with overseeing the administrations plans for reducing the spread of HIV and improving treatment for people with AIDS. In addition to leading the San Francisco Department of Public Healths HIV prevention department, Colfax is an assistant professor at the University of California, San Francisco. As a doctor-in-training during the height of the AIDS crisis, he treated patients at the nations rst hospital wing for people with the disease, based at San Francisco General Hospital.
WASHINGTON An upbeat Rick Santorum barreled into Puerto Rico on Wednesday in pursuit of another campaignbending victory in a Republican presidential race where suddenly no primary is too minor and no delegate is conceded. Mitt Romney put nearly $1 million into television advertising in Illinois, the next big-state showdown. If we keep winning races, eventually people are going to gure out that Gov. Romney is not going to be the nominee, said Santorum, eager to build on Tuesdays unexpected victories in Alabama and Mississippi. Romney in turn dismissed Santorum as a lightweight as far as the economy is concerned. He also rebutted suggestions that he cant appeal to core conservatives. You dont win a million more votes than anyone else in this race by just appealing to high-income Americans, he said on Fox News. Some who are very conservative may not be in my camp, but they will be when I become the nominee, when I face Barack Obama. Romney travels to Puerto Rico on Friday, after two days in New York fundraising. But in a reection of the importance of next weeks Illinois primary, aides announced he would make a previously unscheduled campaign stop in the Chicago area en route to San Juan.

showed no sign of abandoning his fading campaign. That presumably suited Romney ne. But not so much Santorum, eager for a race in which he is the sole challenger on the right for Romney, the former Massachusetts governor. The events of the previous 24 hours neatly summarized the most turbulent Republican presidential campaign in a generation. Santorums primary victories in Mississippi and Alabama were the product of a wellspring of conservative support that overcame Romneys overwhelming organizational and nancial advantages in the race to pick a November opponent for Democrat Obama. Yet despite his twin defeats in the South, Romney remains the faraway leader in the delegate chase. Incomplete returns showed him actually adding one or two to his advantage because of overnight caucus victories in Hawaii and American Samoa.
Attorney faces disbarment over breaches

SAN FRANCISCO A California Bar Court judge is recommending the disbarment of a San Francisco lawyer who represented the confessed killer of an Oakland journalist. Attorney LeRue Grim will not contest ndings by Judge Lucy Armendariz that Grim committed what was termed serious ethical LeRue Grim breaches in cases between 2007 and 2009. Those breaches are unrelated to Grims defense of DeVaughndre Broussard, who admitted to killing Oakland Post Editor Chauncey Bailey in 2007. Grim negotiated Broussards voluntary manslaughter plea, which sent Broussard to prison for 25 years.
Gingrich losses in South a big blow yet he goes on

By Thomas Beaumont and Beth Fouhy
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. The promised third dramatic comeback this was not. Newt Gingrichs defeats in his must-win home region of the Deep South on Tuesday ensure that his White House bid is all but over even if he refuses to acknowledge as much. The stubborn former House speaker is vowing to stay in the race even though hes low on cash and facing pressure to step aside after losses in Mississippi and Alabama. In doing
so, he could end up damaging his legacy in a party he helped build. Yet that seems to be a risk hes willing to take, for now at least. Why would I walk off from my party and leave them with two people who Newt Gingrich cant win? Gingrich recently told the Associated Press.

He endured six weeks of losses before crushing his rivals in his home state of Georgia. He then looked to neighboring Southern states for a third and nal rebirth.

Sheriffs deputies arrested Charles Edward Schuttloffel Sr., 36, on charges of murder, murder during an arson and committing multiple murders in the May 4, 2004 re which killed William Leonard Billy Schuttloffel, 2, and Charles Edward Charlie Schuttloffel Jr., 3.

GOP taking lead on state pension fix

enue. The stock market collapse in 2008 added to unfunded liabilities now estimated at as much as $500 billion, with local pension funds, including the Sonoma County Employee Retirement System, short tens of billions more. Key provisions of Browns plan include: Creating a hybrid retirement system with smaller guaranteed benets, a 401(k)-style savings plan and Social Security. Raising the retirement age for most state and local government employees from 55 to 67, and from 50 to 57 for public safety employees. Ending the disreputable practices of pension spiking and purchasing air time, or retirement credit in excess of years actually worked. Prohibiting retroactive benet increases and pension holidays, waivers of contributions by employers, and sometimes employees, when retirement systems are temporarily overfunded due to rising stock prices.
ets give credit where credit is due. Republicans in the state Legislature hit the political daily double by unequivocally endorsing Gov. Jerry Browns pension reform plan. GOP legislators did the right thing, and, in the process, they turned up the heat on their Democratic colleagues. Theres no strings attached to this, Senate Republican Senate leader Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar, told reporters in Sacramento recently. Its just good government reform needed in pensions, and were willing to help that come about. We urged Sonoma Countys legislators to sign on to the governors plan, but so far Browns fellow Democrats have shown little enthusiasm for pension reform, which, not coincidentally, is strongly opposed by their allies in organized labor. The governors 12-point plan would constitute a modest reform of a pension program whose costs have soared wildly since 1999, when benets were retroactively increased by 50 percent without adding any additional rev-
Splitting pension costs equally between employers and employees, a provision that would extend to present as well as future employees. Estimated savings: Between $4 billion and $11 billion over 30 years. Thats a good down payment. But additional reforms will be required to make pension funds scally sustainable without siphoning still more scarce tax dollars from other services. Legislative Democrats, including Senate President Darrell Steinberg, are promising to address pensions this spring. But they have yet to say what reforms theyre willing to support. If its less than the governor proposed, there will be little reason for voters to support their proposal to temporarily increase income and sales taxes to provide more money for public education and county jails. Browns plan ultimately requires voter approval. His Democratic colleagues need to step up and give voters a chance to weigh in on pension reform. On this issue, they appear to have willing allies among legislative Republicans.
Letters to the editor

Citizen/political ideologies relationship weakened
Editor, I would like to sarcastically applaud Diane S. Smiths hypothetical test block idea which was published in the March 14 edition of the Daily Journal. Diane illustrates a neighborhood where imaginary hardworking citizens end up paying for the imaginary indigent neighbors lifestyles. Diane characterizes poor families as lottery-buying drug users who make their neighbors pay for wild parties that end up upsetting the neighborhood. I assume Smith really knows little about people in need. Instead of offering up imaginary scenarios she could spend her time learning about real world situations. It wouldnt be right of me to categorize her as a right wing, gun toting, evangelizing, capitalist, because in truth I know nothing about her. This type of know-it-all rhetoric only weakens the ever important bonds that we as citizens continue to destroy with our political ideologies. kindergarten and preparing for this fall. I wanted to clarify a point about funding for TK. The governors proposal to eliminate funding for TK is just that, a proposal. Additionally, his most recent proposal allows districts who choose to offer TK to collect full funding for those children who are no longer eligible for kindergarten. The Kindergarten Readiness Act, however, is the law. Under either scenario current law, or Gov. Browns recent proposal school districts that choose to offer TK will be able to collect full Average Daily Attendance funding. Preschool California and the Save Kindergarten Coalition hope that school districts in San Mateo County, and across the state, join the more than 120 districts that are moving ahead with TK implementation this fall, following the law and preparing to open their doors for students who have a right to attend TK. laying off teachers and cutting benets to the needy and aged people in our nation. We are in the middle of a depression. Public employees are losing their jobs, which means they will not have money to spend to keep the economy going. Our roads are not well maintained. Bridges, dams and levees need repair. Public transportation so important in trying to curb global climate change is raising fees and cutting routes. I think we must carefully evaluate what another war would mean to us here in San Mateo County. Wars are terribly expensive in lives and funds. Our armed forces are now engaged in either attacking or occupying ve nations at once. We have troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan and Nigeria. We should bring our troops home and end all these wars. Ralph Bernstein and Saul Eisenstat wrote letters to the Daily Journal to urge making a pre-emptive attack on Iran, which may lead to World War III (Russia and China buy oil from Iran and may side with Iran). I would prefer that we spend our tax funds on a new jobs program to repair and maintain our infrastructure and create new environmentally safe energy systems. Instead of bombing Iran, we could use those funds to put solar panels on all of our public buildings. Instead of funding another war, we could increase public transportation. Improved public transportation would save families hundreds of dollars that they now need to put gas their cars. We could save money and decrease global warming. All of this sounds like a better deal than going into another war.

orget the coffee; the most important liquid in the newsroom is the hand sanitizer. Not just any antibacterial gel, mind you, but specically Lysols Healthy Touch which appears as a clear liquid inside the bottle but pumps out into a pile of foam. Oh, and most importantly to the men of the newsroom, the sanitizer apparently smells like brake cleaner. The bottle was purchased on a whim at the dollar store on the thought it would help combat the never-ending bouts of coughs and snifes that travel through the ofce regularly. Maybe we should be called print germ-alists because undoubtedly if one person starts with the runny nose and scratchy throat, the others will eventually follow suit in turn until the original Patient Zero starts all over again. You know how classrooms full of young children always seem to be hotbeds for ailments? Its kind of like that we also have a fondness for nap time and snacks although were all a lot taller and can drive ourselves to the corner drugstore to search for caplets, liquid spoonfuls of relief and, obviously, hand sanitizer. The bottle sat on the edge of the desk for a while before someone gave it a hesitant try. Maybe hand sanitizer isnt manly at least not unless it evokes an automotive aura. Suddenly, once the brake cleaner description went viral, the sanitizer became a more popular draw to my corner than the ready stockpile of ibuprofen. Yet all good things must come to an end and with time the bottle grew emptier and emptier. I brought in a different brand that promised moisturizing with the sanitizing. Who doesnt like a two-for-one deal? Kill germs, not your hands, the bottle proclaimed. But it cant kill germs if it isnt used and the picky perfume connoisseurs were not pleased. Blech, one said (if one actually says blech). Smells like a little old lady, said another which ultimately became the consensus. Frankly, closing ones eyes and inhaling, the assessment is true. The scent is too oral, too overpowering, too reminiscent of pin-curled women of a very advanced age who are a little heavy on the perfume application. However, one male employee stood apart. He tried the new bottle, then back to the original foam. Then back to the moisturizing option. I guess Im more like a woman, he admitted. The macho contingent, however, werent ready to be in touch with their softer side. With the foam nearing its last days, panic struck. Where would we nd more? An Internet search turned the panic into near-hysteria. Seems Lysol in its wisdom had discontinued the product. Nooooo! came the collective wail. To eBay! they cried. Try Amazon! To their delight, a few bottles of the prized stuff still exist, albeit for a hefty price. Faced with an $8 price tag to replace the beloved bottle, they began grudgingly using the previously disparaged sanitizer particularly as the latest rounds of coughs grew gravely and sinus veered between clogged and runny. Eventually, someone brought in another option. The gel was clear and didnt promise to moisturize. Perhaps there was hope. Then came the real test. Smells like Citron Vodka, came the verdict after the rst whiff. Mix it with the moisturizing sanitizer. Perhaps the scents will cross-cancel one another, I helpfully suggested. Dear Lord no, then Ill just smell like a little old lady whos been drinking, came the appalled reply. Seems you can smell like perfume or you can smell like a lemon drop but never the two shall meet. In any case, the men are now on their own when it comes to beating back the ever-present cold and u bugs. I, for one, have wiped my hands clean of the situation.

Citi was one of just four major nancial companies that didnt pass the Feds latest test of how banks would hold up during an extreme economic downturn. On Tuesday, a powerful rally in bank stocks pushed the Dow to its highest close since the last day of 2007. The Federal Reserve said 15 of the 19 major banks it surveyed passed its test. Other banks that got passing grades from the Fed mostly rose. Regions Financial rose 6.9 percent to $6.17 after the bank said it would sell $900 million in stock to repay some of the money it received as part of the 2008 bank bailout. Bank of America rose 4.1 percent to $8.84 and Zions Bancorporation jumped 10.5 percent to $21.58, the most of any stock in the S&P 500 index. MetLife, an insurance company, also failed to pass the Feds stress test. The stock slid 5.8 percent to $37.16, the most in the S&P 500. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose sharply, to 2.27 percent from 2.11 percent late Tuesday.
Stocks ended pretty much where they started Wednesday on Wall Street, a day after the market had its biggest gain of the year. The Dow Jones industrial average eked out an increase of 16.42 points, its sixth consecutive gain. The Dow ended at 13,194.10, up 0.1 percent. The Dow was up as much as 43 points in the morning, but most of those gains evaporated by mid-afternoon. It was the longest winning stretch for the Dow since February 2011, but that was one of the few bright spots on an otherwise glum day in the stock market. The Standard & Poors 500 edged down 1.67 points to 1,394.28. The Nasdaq composite inched up 0.85 point to end at 3,040.73. The Nasdaq closed above 3,000 on Tuesday for the rst time since December 2000. Other market indicators were weak. The Russell 2000 index of small-company stocks fell 1 percent. Only two of the 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 rose, technology and banks. Falling stocks outnumbered rising ones more than 2-to1 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Bond market sees a stronger economy

By Daniel Wagner
WASHINGTON The bond market is betting on a stronger economy. Prices for U.S. Treasury debt plunged for the fth straight trading session Wednesday, and the yield on the benchmark 10-year note spiked to its highest level since October. Money poured out of bonds and into stocks after rosy words on Tuesday from the Federal Reserve gave traders condence that the economic recovery is
strengthening. Major stock market averages are at or near four-year highs. Treasury yields and interest rates that take their cues from Treasury yields, including mortgage rates remain near all-time lows. So while mortgage rates may creep up, they should remain historically low. Even with the economy getting stronger, the Fed plans to keep short-term interest rates near zero through 2014. And demand is strong for long-term Treasurys because the dollar and the U.S. government still look like safer bets than the euro and other nations.
More evidence of the hunger for U.S. debt came Wednesday afternoon, when the Treasury Department auctioned $13 billion in 30-year bonds. Bids came in higher than current market prices. The bonds were priced to yield 3.38 percent. Similar bonds trading on the open market fetched a yield of 3.41 percent. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note was 2.27 percent as of 4 p.m. Eastern time Wednesday. It hasnt closed above that level since Oct. 28, but the yield is far lower than the 3.36 percent level where it settled a year earlier.
Business briefs
Zynga holders plan to sell up to $400M in stock
SAN FRANCISCO Zynga shareholders may sell up to $400 million of stock through a public offering, three months after the online game maker went public, to try to avoid a drop in its stock price. The San Francisco-based company said Wednesday that shareholders are selling stock to facilitate an orderly distribution of shares. This means the company wants to make sure its stockholders dont sell a lot of stock all at once when the post-IPO lock-up period expires. Early investors typically must wait about six months to sell off parts of their stakes after an initial public offering. The expected wave of share sales can weigh on a newly public companys stock price.
Citi disappointment on Fed test raises questions

NEW YORK Everyone expected Citigroup to pass the Federal Reserves latest stress test easily. It had just posted two years of prots, and CEO Vikram Pandit said as recently as March 7 that he was condent about rewarding shareholders with more dividends. Pandit himself was handsomely rewarded with a $14.8 million pay package last year. But in a shock to Wall Street, Citigroup failed the stress test, the Federal Reserves annual checkup for banks. The Fed said Citi, unlike any of its peers, does not have enough capital to raise its stock dividend and still withstand a nancial crisis worse than 2008.

South Florida knocks Cal out of tourney

By Joe Kay
DAYTON, Ohio Ugly, ugly, ugly. Just the way South Florida likes it. The Bulls introduced the NCAA tournament to the Big Easts nastiest defense Wednesday night, putting more than just a chill into a California team that had never seen anything like it. The Bulls allowed only
13 points in the rst half and brushed their way to a 65-54 victory. South Florida (21-13) will play No. 5 seed Temple in Nashville on Friday, a matchup of teams known for gritty defense. Few have been better than this one for the rst 20 minutes on the NCAA stage. The Bulls swarmed em, bumped em and swatted their shots away those that werent air balls, that is.
California (24-10) didnt score over the last 8:55 of the rst half, missing 10 shots and turning it over twice while South Florida pulled ahead 36-13. Guard Jorge Gutierrez, the Pac-12 player of the year, was held to 10 points on 4-of-10 shooting. It wasnt all defense that got it done for South Florida. Freshman point guard Anthony Collins, a thin-built player with a youthful
face that reminds coach Stan Heath of a 12year-old kid, played like a star in his rst NCAA tournament game, scoring 12 points. Victor Rudd had 15 points The Golden Bears wont soon forget the way they got worked over. They must have felt as if there were six Bulls on the oor at times playing defense.

No clear-cut favorites

Assuming the run stays away, the Peninsula Athletic League baseball season is scheduled to get under way next Wednesday. The PAL is, once again, split into the Bay and Ocean divisions with eight teams in each. Teams will play home-and-away schedules this season, so once a team is done playing an opponent per week, they wont see them again. In the Bay Division season opener, Carlmont will be at Burlingame, Terra Nova will be in Atherton to take on Menlo-Atherton, El Camino will travel over the hill to take on Half Moon Bay and Hillsdale will be at Capuchino. In the Ocean Division, Aragon is at Mills, Westmoor takes on San Mateo, Woodside heads to Daly City to face Jefferson, while South City is at Sequoia. On Friday, Wednesdays home teams will be the visitors. As the defending Bay Division champion, El Camino (4-2-1 preseason) will be the team to beat until further notice. Colts manager Carlos Roman said there is no added pressure to defend the title because he expects to contend for the championship every year. Our goal is, every year, to win the PAL. Thats rst and foremost, Roman said. I dont need to put it front of them. The Colts are that rare PAL team that has won consecutive division titles. They captured the Ocean Division crown in 2010 and then moved up to the Bay last year and won the championship as well. It will be no cakewalk for whichever team ends up winning the title. The Bay Division is among the most balanced leagues in the Central Coast Section with any number of teams capable of winning the division title. The way I look at it, everybody is (capable of winning a championship), Roman said. Both Menlo-Atherton (5-1) and Terra Nova (51) are off to good starts this season. Last year, the Bears nished league play with a 5-9 record, but were 15-12 overall. The Tigers nished at .500 with a 7-7 record. Carlmont (4-2) and Burlingame (4-2-1) are both perennial contenders, with the Panthers having played a pretty rugged preseason, including a 1-0 win over Serra.
Change had to be made

he sports talk shows, Facebook and Twitter have been blowing up in the Bay Area since it was announced the Golden State Warriors traded Monta Ellis their best player along with up-and-coming big man Ekpe Udoh and an injured Kwame Brown to Milwaukee for injured center Andrew Bogut and former Warrior Stephen Jackson. Finally. The one piece Golden State fans have been clamoring for years -- a real center. Now, everyone is blasting the trade. Im not one of them. While Im not thrilled with the trade, I dont have a real problem with it, mainly because the Warriors were going nowhere with Ellis and changes need to be made. Im sick and tired of the same ol, same ol from the Warriors. The team needed to shake up the status quo and it did. Bogut is a legitimate, actual center. His biggest problem is staying healthy. The No. 1 overall pick of the Bucks in 2005, Bogut has yet to play a full 82-game season. That is a bit disconcerting since the team already has one of those in Steph Curry, who should be done for the year with a bum ankle that he is constantly re-injuring. Where does that leave the Warriors for the rest of this season? Where theyve been for better part of 20 years -- out of the playoffs. If you want to be mad, be upset with the Warriors decision makers. They are the ones that put Golden State in the mess it is now. The Warriors already had a combo guard, but instead of surrounding him with other pieces, the Warriors brass went and drafted Ellis clone in the form of Curry. Instead of nding a

Knicks in free fall,coach Mike DAntoni quits

By Brian Mahoney
NEW YORK Maybe theres a big-name coach out there who can bring out the best in Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks. Mike DAntoni decided Wednesday he wasnt that guy. And so, he resigned, surprising even his bosses. It wasnt just Carmelo, interim general manager Glen Grunwald said. I think it was our whole team was not playing up to where
we thought they could be and I know Mike was as frustrated as anyone about that and thats what led him to that decision, that maybe there needs to be a new approach and look at it. Assistant Mike Mike DAntoni Woodson will serve as interim head coach, starting with Wednesday nights game against the
Portland Trail Blazers at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks brief resurgence in a wave of Linsanity last month has been replaced by a six-game losing streak that has dropped them into a tie for the eighth and nal playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, along of speculation of friction between DAntoni and his AllStar forward. DAntoni ran the Knicks through their morning shootaround, but not before stopping into Grunwalds ofce at the Knicks training
center and telling him and fellow executive Allan Houston of his intentions. Grunwald called MSG chairman James Dolan, who went up to the Westchester training center for what he called a very honest conversation with the DAntoni. He later said the parting was mutual. He clearly felt it was best for the organization if he were not to continue as coach of the team. He did offer to stay, Dolan said during

It was basically do nothing for six weeks and wait for it to heal, he said. After that, I didnt have much of an offseason, rehabbing three days a week. It was worth it. ... I am working toward Opening Day, max it out (velocity) and keep it that way the rest of the season. Wilsons training regimen includes keeping his heart rate up as much as working the arm. When you come into the game in this (closing) situation, your heart rate is 140 to 170, he said. I try not to keep my heart rate below 160 (in workouts). Keep it steady. The Indians had to be encouraged by the strong four-inning effort from veteran righthander Derek Lowe. Acquired in a trade with Atlanta on Oct. 31, the 38-year-old gave up a run on two hits with a walk. I had a lot better command, a lot of quick outs, the majority on the ground, said Lowe, who threw 42 pitches. Notes: Bochy said he was pleased with the pregame bullpen session of right-hander Ryan Vogelsong, who has yet to throw in a game because of a back strain. Vogelsong, who was 13-7 in 28 starts last season, threw a simulated game situation, taking breaks in between innings. . . . Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera had three hits, including a pair of doubles.

Posey gets first spring hit 49ers and CB Rogers

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. The San Francisco Giants got encouraging performances from two stars returning from injuries. Buster Posey had his rst hit of the spring, a home run, in the Giants 2-2, 10-inning tie with Cleveland on Wednesday. The young catcher suffered a devastating leg injury in a home-plate collision with the Marlins Scott Cousins on May 25. Closer Brian Wilson, shut down for the nal six weeks of the season with a sore elbow, pitched a hitless, scoreless fth inning in his second outing of the spring. Posey, who broke his left bula and tore ankle ligaments, served as the DH on Wednesday. He hit an opposite-eld solo home run just inside the right-eld foul pole off left-hander Tony Sipp with two outs in the sixth to tie the game. Posey said he thought the ball was going out of the park when he made contact. I thought I hit it pretty good, he said. I just wanted to hit the ball hard. Thats my goal every time to hit the ball hard. The NL Rookie of the Year in 2010 is taking a steady approach to his comeback, catching every three or four days and getting at-bats when he can as the DH. Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Posey could see more atbats in minor-league games. Posey caught four innings against the Cubs on Tuesday, will catch again Friday or Saturday and will increase his time to six innings next week, according to Bochy. Posey has not had any issues defensively and appears to have picked up where he left off in handling the pitching staff. Its about getting the at-bats, seeing the pitches and getting the timing. I am seeing the ball well, said Posey, who wears an ankle guard.
agree on 4-year deal

By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Cornerback Carlos Rogers is returning to the San Francisco 49ers just as he had hoped and bringing him back keeps one of the NFLs top defenses intact heading into 2012. Its clear the 49ers are working furiously at building another team to contend for a shot at the Super Bowl. Rogers has agreed on a $31.3 million, fouryear contract, a person with knowledge of the negotiations conrmed Wednesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team had yet to formally announce the deal. Rogers still needs to travel to the Bay Area in order to sign, and that could take a couple of days. The 30-year-old Rogers and safety Dashon Goldson shared the team lead with six interceptions each last season for the NFC West champion 49ers. Rogers had said he wanted to stay put with the Niners on a long-term deal. Im excited about all the moves they made, especially keeping the defense the same, Pro Bowl running back Frank Gore said Wednesday in a phone interview from Miami. It was one of the best defenses last year. If they come back and play together they can be even better. Were going to be a good team. Its been quite the week for the 49ers, who are gearing up for another playoff run after losing 20-17 in overtime of the NFC championship game to the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants. On Monday, San Francisco signed wide receiver Randy Moss after he spent 2011 out of football, then brought in cornerback Perrish Cox on Tuesday to join a talented secondary that also includes safety Donte Whitner. Gore is condent that the combination of Moss, Michael Crabtree and tight end Vernon Davis will open up the eld and keep defenses guessing. Signing Randy Moss is really big for us. People have to respect him because of what hes done in this league as one of the best receivers and a future Hall of Famer, Gore said. Its
going to be big. Especially when youve got Vernon Davis, Crabtree, Randy Moss, players who can make plays, that should be easy on me. Moss vowed to be a positive inuence despite his reputation for taking plays Carlos Rogers off and not going hard in practice. Gore isnt worried about Moss disrupting a strong chemistry. I think he will (t in). I know Coach (Jim) Harbaugh and (general manager) Trent Baalke, they have a great eye for talent. If they made that choice, I think thats great, Gore said. The team is still working to re-sign quarterback Alex Smith, with the sides saying the 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick was weighing a threeyear offer. Smiths comeback season in 2011 under former NFL quarterback Harbaugh proved pivotal to the team ending an eight-year drought without a playoff berth or winning record. Smith took his share of boos and criticism during his initial six up-and-down seasons in the league. The 49ers and Smith made it clear they wanted to get something done during the offseason to keep Smith with his only NFL franchise. Smith is represented by Tom Condon and CAA Sports, and Condon is also working to get Peyton Manning signed with a new team so there is some thinking that might happen before Smith re-signs. Condon and others in his agency havent responded to multiple messages seeking an update on negotiations. Alex, hes a tough guy. I like him a lot, especially with all the stuff he went through and getting put in the situations Coach Harbaugh put him in and believing in him, Gore said. He got the chance he really never had there from an offensive standpoint. It showed he can play ball. He went through a whole lot, man. I think Alex is going to take his game to a whole other level, especially coming off the year he just had.

Cal women back in NCAA tournament

By Janie McCauley
BERKELEY On the bus after Californias season ended last year in the second round of the WNIT, several players made a vow to change. They called a mandatory team meeting. The next postseason trip would be for the NCAA tournament and nothing less. The Golden Bears arent sure who actually brought the group together in the locker room that day. Eliza Pierre thinks it was Talia Caldwell, who gures it must have been fellow junior Layshia Clarendon. Clarendon has no idea and it hardly matters now. Cal is back in the NCAA tournament for the rst time since a run to the regional seminals in 2009 capped a stretch of four straight NCAA berths by the program. First-year coach Lindsay Gottliebs eighthseeded Bears (24-9) will open against No. 9 seed Iowa at Notre Dame on Sunday in the Raleigh region. The message that day last spring called for a
collective commitment. It wasnt a good feeling, Caldwell recalled of traveling back from Boulder, Colo., The whole trip didnt feel good. It wasnt just after we lost. It was like something wasnt right, we need to change something. Luckily, we had it easy because it wasnt a lack of talent. Some teams just dont have the talent. Our team, pound for pound, is one of the most talented in the nation. And during a two-week span last spring when Cal was without a head coach, Caldwell, Clarendon and Pierre were among the leaders in keeping things going right on schedule. From extra shooting in the gym, to track workouts and sessions in the weight room, the Bears forged ahead unsure who would lead them. We had to be responsible, take responsibility for our own futures, Caldwell said. We didnt just do it. We killed it. Like: Whatever you do this time in April when were doing spring workouts, make sure its going to benet you next March when were in the tournament. Period. DAntoni wasnt the only one who couldnt gure out why the Knicks couldnt win with their best player. Its hard to explain why we have struggled and I dont really dont want to get too deep on that, Woodson said. I think whats more important is that we move forward. A message was left with DAntoni seeking comment. He seemed upbeat after the morning practice and gave no indication of his plans. Asked the last thing he said to players, rookie Iman Shumpert said: Well, this morning it was, See you tonight. So like I said, its a shock to us. Anthony said after the shootaround he supyears and, now, their rst win. The Bulls came in 0-2 in the tournament. Other teams exult when one of their players hits a big basket. The Bulls cheer from the bench as the other team passes the ball around helplessly and hopelessly. They were cheering their defense from the opening tip. The rst time down the court, Gutierrez forced a running shot that was too hard, a taste of the misery ahead. California missed its rst ve shots and eight of its rst nine, helping South Florida pull ahead 15-3. Collins made a driving layup, a oater, a 15foot pull-up jumper and a layup off his steal during the opening run, getting South
Joanne Boyle had abruptly departed to coach Virginia and athletic director Sandy Barbour swiftly replaced her with Gottlieb, the former Cal top assistant and then-Santa Barbara head coach. Gottlieb has been impressed how quickly her players bought into a new coaching style and took charge of how their season would go. Gottlieb and her coaches make it comfortable, too. They have an open-door policy for the close-knit group, and players regularly wander in to say hello throughout the day. I always say to people, You have to be who you are and you have to go to your strengths and your comfort zone, and to me thats relationships with the players and that is genuinely caring about their home life, whats going on at school, who they are as people, Gottlieb said. I dont think you can try to put yourself in somebody elses mold. I dont think that makes me any less intense on the court or any less invested in the basketball part of it. Theres no question Im going to hug them in the hallway or were going to laugh and joke about things, because for me nothing else ported the coach 100 percent, denying a New York Post report that he would like a trade before Thursdays deadline. DAntoni acknowledged the media frenzy around the sinking club but believed the Knicks would handle it. You battle against it. I think were cohesive enough to battle through this, and we expect to do that, he said. His departure comes less than a month after he seemed rejuvenated by the emergence of Jeremy Lin, the undrafted point guard from Harvard who came off the end of the bench and proved to be the player who could properly run his offensive system. But that was short-lived. Lin has still played Floridas unpredictable offense moving. The Golden Bears readily acknowledged that they hadnt played anything quite like the Bulls defense. With four players averaging in double gures, their best chance was to spread the ball around and be patient. They ran out of patience real fast, prompting coach Mike Montgomery to call a timeout to get his team settled down. Instead, things quickly got worse. A lot worse. Gutierrez hit a fade-away 15-foot jumper with 8:56 left in the rst half. The Golden Bears wouldnt score again before halftime, with South Florida pulling off a 14-0 run. It ended with a telling moment: California guard
would feel quite right. It was a thrill for Gottlieb to watch her players celebrate when Cals name was called on Selection Monday. And, across the country, Gottlieb has her own loyal cheering section. Her 75-year-old father, Steve, brother Peter, sister Chris and brother-in-law Jim, and nephews Tommy and Alex, found a bar in Midtown Manhattan to watch the regular-season nale against Stanford. The transition to a new coaching staff was a seamless one, especially considering Charmin Smith stayed on and new assistant Kai Felton had recruited many of the Bears players during her previous coaching stints at both Southern California and Oregon. We were really blessed that rst of all it wasnt a bad split with Coach Boyle. Everyone was on good terms, Caldwell said. Then the whole process, a lot of us were familiar with Coach Gottlieb before, so that helped. None of Cals players have been in an NCAA tournament game before, yet Gottlieb has no sense theyre satised with just getting there. well, but the defensive was struggling and DAntoni said the team wasnt giving a consistent effort after a home loss to Philadelphia on Sunday. Woodson, the former Atlanta Hawks coach who was hired this summer, is a longtime friend of Grunwald and former Knicks coach Isiah Thomas. Dolan said Woodson understood he would be evaluated at the end of the season. Perhaps a call will go out to Phil Jackson or John Calipari. The latter, preparing his topseeded Wildcats for the NCAA tournament, wrote on Twitter that he was committed to Kentucky and reafrmed that commitment at a press conference in Louisville. Justin Cobbs dribbling toward the basket and failing to even attempt a shot before the buzzer sounded. Totally discombobulated. The Golden Bears shufed toward the locker room with blanks expressions. Their 13 points matched the seventh-fewest in an opening half since the NCAA tournament expanded in 1985, according to STATS LLC. The Bulls pulled ahead 57-25 with 8:49 left. The only question was how low they could keep the sore. California fouled repeatedly in the nal minute, giving itself enough chances to hit the 50-point mark.

a press conference. After a long discussion, we did agree it was best for the organization to have new voice moving forward. Dolan made it clear that he believes in the players and still expects a playoff berth. DAntoni said before the season that the Knicks should be a contender, but they havent looked like one in the last 10 games all since Anthony returned from a groin injury. New York is just 2-8 in that span, and

son. The Dons had an especially tough 2011 season. They had plenty of talent, but for whatever reason, it did not translate into Bay Division success. Jefferson (2-3-1), could be the surprise thus far of the preseason. With two wins, the Indians have already won twice as many games as it did last season, when they nished 1-18 overall and went winless in the Ocean Division. Westmoor (3-5) is in a similar position as Jefferson. Once a perennial bottom feeder, manager Kevin Brady is slowly but surely turning the program around. Last season, the Rams were 4-10 in league and 9-17 overall. Look for them to take another step forward this year. Mills (2-4), which nished in a tie for third place in the Ocean last season, has played a fairly tough preseason. Four of their six games have been against Bay Division squads. The Vikings lone win was a 1-0 decision over Lowell last week. Sequoia (1-2), San Mateo (1-6) and South City (1-7) have found the win column only once so far this season. San Mateo has played arguably the toughest preseason schedule of any team in the entire PAL. Three of the Bearcats losses have come against teams that are a combined 17-4-1 in preseason play. They also lost to CCS Division III defending champion Menlo School. Their lone win has come against El Camino. No matter the division, however, any team that wants to contend for a championship needs to have quality pitching. One good starter gives a team a chance to be a .500 club. Two quality arms? If youve got two good [pitchers], put them up for contenders right now, Roman said. If you can run two guys out there who can pitch seven innings, you can contend.

Roman said trying to nd that preseason balance of trying to prepare a team for the league season while trying to win at the same time can be a tough. There is a little bit of balance because there is so much emphasis put on points and seedings for CCS, Roman said. I look at it as preseason. Every time we play, we want to win, but not at the expense of injuring a player. Capuchino (3-4-1) and Hillsdale (2-5) have gotten off to slower starts this season. It may take a few games for the Mustangs to nd their rhythm once league play starts, as they are making the move from the Ocean to the Bay this season. The Mustangs nished in second place in the Ocean Division last season. Hillsdale has been a solid club for the last several years and is always a tough out. Defending Ocean Division champ Half Moon Bay lost a lot of talent from last years squad, which explains this seasons 1-6 start. In the Ocean Division, Woodside is one of only two teams to have compiled a non-losing preseason record. The Wildcats are 44 early in the year, with wins over Bay Division squads Capuchino at Menlo-Atherton. The only Ocean team with a winning record thus far is Aragon, which is 3-1, including three wins in a row. Aragon, along with Sequoia (1-2), were moved into the Ocean after nishing at the bottom of the Bay Division standings last sea-

complement, Golden State essentially drafted Ellis replacement. They are the same player: on the smallish side, not real point guards who know how to score. At least now the Warriors have freed up some minutes for 6-7 shooting guard Klay Thompson, their top draft pick this season. Although still a rookie, Thompson has something Ellis and Curry never will size. Unlike the NFL draft where teams traditionally draft the best available player, NBA teams with only 12 players on a team and only ve on the court at one time should be drafting for need. In the 2009 draft, Curry may have been the best available player at the No. 7 pick, but the Warriors didnt need another small combo guard. But they drafted him anyway. Critics argue the Warriors didnt get fair value in trading one of the top shooting guards in the league. Of course they didnt. Theyre the Warriors. Just like they have to overpay to get free agents to come to Oakland (see David Lee, who the Warriors got in a sign-and-trade deal with the New York Knicks), they have no bargaining position when it comes to making trades. Everyone around the NBA knew the Warriors were shopping Ellis. That right there put them behind the eight ball in making any kind of quality deal. Why would any other team give up top-notch talent when they know the Warriors are desperate? Of course, now that Ellis is out of Oakland, he will probably make the all-star team next season because he is out of NBA purgatory. The true value of this trade will not be known until next year when both Bogut and Curry get a full offseason of rehab on their ankles, along with a full, standardized training camp under their belts. Only then will we know if this trade was worth it or not. KNBRs Larry Krueger said if the Warriors cant win, at least they should be entertaining. Now theyre not. I dont agree with that. I dont watch Golden State now because the Warriors are perennial losers, no amount of 110-109 losses are going to change my perception about that. What the Warriors lost in excitement, maybe they can make up with wins next season. *** In the March 11 of the Daily Journal, in the article, Wild ending to rivalry game, a South City players name was misspelled. The correct spelling is Tyler Keahi. *** After one season, Woodside basketball coach Phillip White is stepping down for personal reasons. He led the Wildcats to a 17-10 overall record and a 5-5 mark in PAL Bay Division play this past season.

Strong quakes rattle Japan, but cause no damage
TOKYO A series of earthquakes rattled Tokyo and northeastern Japan on Wednesday evening but caused no apparent damage or injury in the same region hit by last years devastating tsunami. The strongest was a magnitude 6.8 that struck off Hokkaido island and generated a small tsunami. Some communities along the northern Pacic coast advised residents to evacuate coastal homes. A swelling of 20 centimeters (8 inches) was observed in water at the port of Hachinohe in Aomori about an hour after the tremor, with smaller changes seen elsewhere. The Meteorological Agency lifted all tsunami advisories within about 90 minutes. About 9 p.m. local time, a magnitude-6.1 quake shook buildings in the capital. It was centered just off the coast of Chiba, east of Tokyo, at a rather shallow 15 kilometers (9 miles) deep.
Accused soldier flown out of Afghanistan

KABUL, Afghanistan The American soldier accused of shooting 16 Afghan villagers in a predawn killing spree was own out of Afghanistan on Wednesday to an undisclosed location, even as many Afghans called for him to face justice in their country. Afghan government ofcials did not immediately respond to calls for comment on the late-night announcement. The U.S. military said the transfer did not preclude the possibility of trying the case in Afghanistan, and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said the soldier could receive capital punishment if convicted. Many fear a misstep by the U.S. military in handling the case could ignite a restorm in Afghanistan that would shatter already tense relations between the two countries. The alliance appeared near the breaking point last month when the burning of Qurans in a garbage pit at a U.S. base sparked protests and retaliatory attacks that killed more than 30 people, including six U.S. soldiers. In recent days the two nations made headway toward an agreement governing a long-term American presence here, but the massacre in Kandahar province on Sunday has called all such negotiations into question. Afghan lawmakers have demanded that the soldier be publicly tried in Afghanistan to show that he was being brought to justice, calling on President Hamid Karzai to suspend all talks with the U.S. until that happens. The U.S. staff sergeant, who has not been named or charged, allegedly slipped out of his small base in southern Afghanistan before dawn, crept into three houses and shot men, women and children at close range then burned some of the bodies. By sunrise, there were 16 corpses. he soldier was held by the U.S. military in Kandahar until Wednesday evening, when he was own out of Afghanistan based on a legal recommendation, said Navy Capt. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman. We do not have appropriate detention facilities in Afghanistan, Kirby said, explaining that he was referring to a facility for a U.S. service member in this kind of case. The soldier was transported aboard a U.S. military aircraft to a pretrial confinement facility in another country, a U.S. military ofcial said, without saying where. The ofcial, who spoke anonymously because he was not authorized to release the information publicly, would not conrm if that meant an American military base or another type of facility. He said the Afghan government was informed of the move. Kirby said the transfer did not necessarily mean the trial would be held outside Afghanistan, but the other military ofcial said legal proceedings would continue outside Afghanistan. U.S. ofcials had previously said it would be technically possible to hold proceedings in Afghanistan, noting other court-martial trials held here.

Syrian rebels lack guns, money after key defeats

BEIRUT Two significant defeats at the hands of Syrian government troops have exposed the limitations of the countrys rebel forces: They are low on cash, running out of weapons and facing a ercely loyal military that will ght to the death. Insisting that their drive to oust President Bashar Assad by force remains strong, the Free Syrian Army says the arms shortage is the main obstacle. Send us money, were desperate. Send us weapons, Ahmad Kassem, who coordinates military operations for the FSA, told the Associated Press in an interview.
WASHINGTON Determined to show momentum in a war marred by setbacks, President Barack Obama and British Prime Minster David Cameron said for the first time Wednesday that NATO forces would hand over the lead combat role to Afghanistan forces next year as the U.S. and its allies aim to get out by the end of 2014. The announcement added both clarity and urgency to the path of a war that has fallen into a demoralizing period, rocked by the burnings of Qurans at a U.S. base, deadly protests against Americans
and a shooting rampage, alleged against a U.S. soldier, that left 16 Afghan civilians dead. Yet Obama made clear those incidents, and intensifying political pressure surrounding them, will not lead him to bring American troops home sooner. He said he still plans to gradually withdraw forces through 2014 as Afghan forces take on more responsibility, cautioning no one should expect any sudden, additional changes in the pace of withdrawal. The trials of war, bloodshed in Syria and a nuclear standoff in Iran dominated questioning at a joint appearance by Obama and Cameron at the White House.

Muppet manifesto Swiss bus crash kills 28

Blistering exit for Goldman exec.
By Christina Rexrode
By John Heilprin and Don Melvin

NEW YORK Goldman Sachs, arguably the most storied investment bank on Wall Street, has been compared to a money-sucking vampire squid and called the evil empire of nance. On Wednesday, it got a black eye from one of its own. Greg Smith, an executive director at the bank, resigned with a blistering public essay that accused the bank of losing its moral ber, putting prots ahead of customers interests and dismissing customers as muppets. It makes me ill how callously people talk about ripping their clients off, he wrote. The decay of Goldmans proud culture of teamwork, integrity and humility, he wrote, threatened the survival of an investment house that weathered two world wars and the Great Depression. The stinging essay, Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs, appeared on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times on Wednesday morning. It was the talk of Wall Street immediately and circulated online all day. CNBC ran clips of the ornery balcony critics from The Muppet Show. Other websites quickly posted spoofs, including Why I am Leaving the Empire, by Star Wars villain Darth Vader. Smith became a trending topic on Twitter. The Times said the essay had received 3 million page views online by 4 p.m. The second-most-viewed story had 500,000, and that was a business section story about the essay. Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein and President Gary Cohn told the banks employees in an open letter that Smiths claims did not reect the culture of the bank. They cited glowing internal reviews of the service Goldman provides to clients. It is unfortunate that all of you who worked so hard through a difcult environment over the last few years now have to respond to this, they wrote. Smith worked for Goldman in London when he resigned, but the bank did not provide further details or say how much money Smith made. He previously worked in the New York ofce. Smith, identied by The Times as head of the companys United States equity derivatives business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, wrote that he attended sales meetings in which helping clients was not part of the discussion. If you were an alien from Mars and sat in on one of these meetings, you would believe that a clients success or progress was not part of the thought process at all, he wrote. Smith wrote that Goldman had devolved from a company he was proud to work for when he started 12 years ago. Goldman became a public company in 1999, adding pressure for the bank to turn bigger prots. On Wall Street, the essay may have been shocking in tone, but it was not surprising in content. Goldmans peers, even some of its customers, take its pursuit of prot as ordinary business. I would be very surprised if it did anything more than anger the people who are already hostile to Goldman, said Lawrence Baxter, a former executive at Wachovia who teaches at Duke Universitys law school.
SIERRE, Switzerland A tour bus carrying schoolchildren home from a class trip slammed head-on into a tunnel wall in the Swiss Alps, killing 22 Belgian students and six adults and instantly changing a joyous skiing vacation into a tragedy spanning two European nations. As authorities tried Wednesday to piece together what happened, parents, classmates and rescue workers struggled to grasp the awful turn of events. Only days earlier, the children had updated a lively blog about the highlights of their adventure: ravioli and meatball dinners, cable-car rides and sing-a-longs. Police said the bus was not speeding and everyone aboard had been wearing seat belts when it crashed late Tuesday inside the 2.5-kilometer (1.5-mile) Tunnel de Geronde on a highway near the southern town of Sierre, a gateway to the Val dAnniviers tourist region. No other vehicles were involved. Belgian authorities ew anxious parents and relatives to the site and called for a day of mourning. The Swiss parliament held a minute of silence for the victims. Investigators were still trying to determine how a modern bus, a rested driver and a seemingly safe tunnel could produce one of the deadliest highway crashes in Swiss history. Olivier Elsig, prosecutor for the Swiss state of Valais, said ofcials were look-

ing at three possible causes a technical problem with the bus, a health problem with the driver or human error. He said an autopsy would be performed on the driver. We will examine everything to nd out what happened, Elsig said. Dr. Jean-Pierre Deslarzes, medical director of the local Swiss rescue service OCVS, said rst-responders were traumatized because so many of the victims were children around 12 years old. The accident virtually shredded the front end of the bus, leaving only small, barely recognizable pieces in place. Passengers were trapped inside. We found an apocalyptic situation when we arrived, said Christian Varone, police commander for Valais. Swiss President Eveline WidmerSchlumpf also ew to Sion to pay her respects to the victims, survivors and rescue ofcials. A crisis center was set up for families of the dead.
GOP leader: Obama must back off military cuts

Giant pension fund expects lower investment return

By Judy Lin
SIMI VALLEY The Obama administration should retreat from billions of dollars in deeply damaging defense cuts and begin investing in a new generation of tanks, planes and ships as the nation confronts danger around the globe, the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee said Wednesday. With much of the countrys armament dating to the Reagan era and a decadelong war in Afghanistan, Congress must get our forces the tools they need to win the current war and deter future wars, said Rep. Howard Buck McKeon, RCalif. That means repairing and replacing
equipment that was lost and damaged in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. It means upgrading and restoring our nuclear deterrent, which is falling apart after two decades of neglect, McKeon said in a speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. He called cuts in military personnel a total of 100,000 Army soldiers and Marines shameful, and warned that ripple effects would harm everything from schools to manufacturing. Instead of coming home to ticker tapes, these brave men and women will come home to pink slips. Instead of marching in victory parades, they will stand in unemployment lines, McKeon said. These cuts, deeply damaging to our
defense, will hurt everyone associated with the military, he added. Overall defense spending is dictated by the budget agreement that President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans reached in August that calls for defense cuts of $487 billion over a decade. McKeon voted for that budget agreement but insisted he will work to reverse the defense cuts. The $614 billion defense budget for 2013 would slash the size of the Army and Marine Corps, cut back on shipbuilding and delay the purchase of some ghter jets and weapons systems. Overall, the budget would provide $525.4 billion in base spending and $88.5 billion for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

SACRAMENTO The nations largest public pension fund lowered its forecast Wednesday for investment returns and asked the state of California, school districts and local governments to increase contributions a move that could siphon more money from basic services. The California Public Employees Retirement System voted to lower its projected annual return from 7.75 percent to 7.5 percent. The change will cost the state an extra $303 million a year, with about $167 million coming from the general fund. It also bumps the overall annual state contribution to CalPERS to $3.8 billion, or about 4 percent of the overall general fund budget for the coming scal year. The action by the CalPERS board marked the rst time in a decade it has lowered its projected return. The fund, which serves 1.6 million California government workers, retirees and their families, has an unfunded liability of at least $85 billion. Representatives of local agencies said they were concerned the boards action will further hurt their budgets at a time when many are facing decits. Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District Chief Kurt Henke acknowledged that the investment rate eventually will need to be lowered even further but warned the board before the vote that you have a lot of local governments on the edge. Implementing this in one fell swoop would be devastating for us, he told board members before their vote. I dont see the bottom in Sacramento. In taking its action, the board directed its staff to examine phasing in the rate adjustment over two years as a way to lessen the immediate budget impact on local governments.

Rain barrels an easy way to go greenin garden

By Melissa Kossler Dutton
Robin Blair does what she can to help her plants thrive. She plants them in good soil and keeps the weeds away. She also waters them regularly with rainwater captured in barrels in the yard of her Shrewsbury, N.J., home. Collecting the water is easy, she says, and good for her plants and the environment. Rainwater is void of chemicals. Its kinder to plants and landscaping, says Blair, who has two rain barrels and a cistern tied into her gutter system. Water is a precious resource. Why not collect rainwater and reuse it? Blair is such a proponent that she got trained to teach other gardeners how to make and use rain barrels. When she organized a workshop last spring, she was surprised at how many people wanted to attend. We kept getting more and more orders, she says. Rain-barrel use and classes are on the rise around the country, according to gardening and conservation experts. Although the concept of capturing and reusing rainwater has existed for thousands of years, many gardeners and environmentalists are revisiting it because of concerns about storm-water runoff and water conservation. Its one of our more popular classes, says Madeline Samec, a horticultural program assistant with the St. Johns County Extension Agency in St. Augustine, Fla. We almost dont have to advertise. Most rain barrels hold around 55 gallons of water and are connected to a downspout. They normally have an overow pipe that detours

excess water away from a homes foundation, and a lter that prevents mosquitoes from entering. Rain barrels also have a tap that can be used to ll watering cans or connect to a hose. A 55-gallon barrel connected to a 1,000square-foot roof will ll up during a 1-inch rain. The barrels can be purchased for $50 to $120 each, or constructed out of food-grade drums. In addition to watering the garden, some people use rainwater for koi ponds or aquariums, says Dotty Woodson, extension program specialist for water resources at Texas
AgriLife Extension Service in Dallas. She said many rain-barrel users like that rainwater does not contain chlorine, uoride or other chemicals that municipalities use to treat water. While investing in a rain barrel does help the environment, its not likely to shave a lot off of a homeowners water bill, Woodson says. People might come to the class with the idea that its going to save them money but were very, very honest about that, she says. It wont have a huge impact. The environmental issue is what were looking at. A rain barrel can be connected to a gutter system without too much difculty, the experts said. First, homeowners need to remove a section of downspout and replace it with exible tubing. When the rain barrel is in use, the tubing should run from the downspout to the barrel. When the rain barrel is not in use, the tubing should reconnect back to the downspout. Rain barrels are a very easy way to go green, says Mandy Stark, marketing and outreach specialist for the city of Lenexa, Kan., which promotes their use through a public art display. Every summer, the city places painted rain barrels around town to encourage residents to install them. Those who do feel theyre making a tangible difference that theyre actually doing something that protects the environment, Stark says. Many municipalities experience a 30 percent to 40 percent increase in residential water usage in the summer. Rain barrels can help reduce that. elsewhere in the area although no fatalities were reported. A head-on collision was reported at Devils Slide at Highway 1 yesterday at about 4:40 p.m. The roadway was closed for some time but no injuries were reported. Flights were delayed at San Francisco International Airport yesterday for up to three hours. Right now its arrivals, but later on it will start affecting departures, airport spokesman Mike McCarron said early yesterday. Shorter, regional ights experienced the longest delays.

Since the wet weather began Tuesday, Marin County has borne the brunt of the rainfall, with 7.8 inches measured there, Anderson said. In the Santa Cruz Mountains, 8.1 inches has fallen, compared to 1.3 inches in San Francisco. The wettest area in San Mateo County has been Portola Valley, getting about 2.2 inches of rain in 24
hours from Tuesday to Wednesday. As for forecasts beyond Saturday, the models used by the weather service are in disagreement about whether more rain is on the way, forecaster Christine Riley said. It doesnt look as likely ... but were still really uncertain right now, Riley said. Currently on the NWS website, rain is listed as a possibility both Sunday and Monday in the Bay Area with sun returning Tuesday.

Let gardening season begin

By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
Beware the ides of March. We all remember the warning given to Caesar (to which he should have paid closer attention!). The midpoint of March also happens to be a date of note to gardeners, as thats when they should be ready to kick off the gardening season. (In warmer parts of the country, they should get rolling even earlier.) Some may think its a bit early to begin gardening, since most hardy plants are still dormant. True, but a dormant garden is precisely what makes it a good time to start. Over the years, I have learned that the more prep work I get done in my garden before dormant plants start waking from their winter rest, the less work I have later in the season. Getting a jump on garden chores before your garden is in active growth also means you can get the work done much quicker. It takes more time to work around the tender new growth of emerging plants than it does bare ground. Here is a checklist of early spring activities to help you get a jump on your garden chores. Start your early cleanup by picking up all dead wood from fallen limbs and branches. Use these branches to start a new compost pile. Build the pile by alternating layers of dead sticks and branches with leaves and grass clippings collected later in the season. The piles
of branches provide necessary air inside the compost pile and help maintain a balanced ratio of 25-30 parts carbon to one-part nitrogen. A good rule of thumb to remember for composting garden debris is: Browns are carbon, and greens are nitrogen. Things like wood chips, dead branches, straw, pine needles, peanut shells and wood ashes are all carbon-rich browns. Grass clippings, weeds, fresh manure, vegetable garden waste, spent ower heads and kitchen scraps are all nitrogen-rich greens. Rake all beds of debris including under shrubs where wind-blown dead leaves often collect over the winter. Finish cutting back any perennials that you missed last fall. I cut my evergreen perennials back at this time too. Old tattered leaves on plants like hellebores are usually unsightly after the long winter. Their presence detracts from new spring growth and early spring blooms. I also cut back any epimedium stems and evergreen fern fronds for the same reason. Apply fertilizer or well-rotted manure to shrubs. Hold off on fertil-
izing perennials this early unless you know exactly where they are or unless they have started to show signs of new growth. Be careful not to over fertilize. I prefer organic fertilizers and follow recommended application rates carefully. Applying fertilizers early allows time for them to work into the soil. When your plants begin active growth later in the spring, they will have access to plenty of nutrition. As soon as the ground is free from frost, edge all beds. Edging early, especially in areas where you have grass butting up against garden beds helps keep you ahead of wandering grass roots. For best results cut at least a 3-inch edge. This will provide an adequate barrier between wandering grass roots and your beds, helping to cut down on weeding time later in the season. It also sets off beds with a clean, professional look. Apply mulch early, but not before dormant perennials have started to emerge. I wait to mulch my beds until I can just see new growth emerging on my perennials. Many perennials resent having their crowns (the neck of your plant) covered, and will rot during periods of heavy rain. Applying mulch early to shrub boarders is ne at this time. Getting some of this work out of the way early will free up valuable time once spring starts in earnest, when your gardening to-do list really starts to grow. It also gets your garden looking good early, giving you more time to enjoy it.
Edging beds is one of the gardening tasks best tackled before weather turns warm.
Right at Home: Ceramics strong this spring

By Kim Cook
Ceramics are always a great supporting player on the home decor stage, but this season theyre grabbing more of the spotlight. Todays ceramists are exploring creative textures and nishes, and even the mass market is offering exciting new examples of the pottery arts. From velvety soft, lacy tealight holders to chunky, colorful platters, theres something for everyone.
You can choose to feature pottery prominently or enlist it as punctuation to other colors and textures in your room. A piece with lots of pattern punch can be a conversation starter, whether it was created half a world away by a village artisan, or right in your own hometown. Ceramics also can help tie a space together, picking up elements a knitted motif or a color, say that appear in artwork, throw pillows or rugs elsewhere in the room.
And ceramics are easy to change out when you tire of them. Homegoods often has cool ceramics that resemble higher end versions. This spring, youll nd a Provence-style, rustic, mustard-hued lamp base with a honeycomb embossment, an array of chic birdpatterned plates in ne china, and several color-saturated glazed vessels in deep teal or cranberry. Scandinavian design studio Ferm Living created an ethereal new collection for spring that includes matte
white or terra cotta ceramic vases made of stacked spheres and polygons. A series of porcelain pieces, including a teapot and bowl, features a spear geometric in subtle organic tones of charcoal, pale pink, seafoam and curry. Susan Dwyer, a sculpture major at art school in Chicago, was inspired by the clean, minimal lines of the citys industrial landscape to create a cool series of vessels evoking factory buildings, water towers and silos. All hand-formed, each
piece has a unique organic look which is at odds with, yet complementary to, the manufactured structure it represents. Amy Adams, the brains behind Brooklyn-based Perch studio, has designed a clever series of stacking cups with stenciled rosettes, owers, garlands or triangles. Available in black and white or turquoise and white, these have a nice folk-arty look and would be versatile little repositories for drinks, owers or trinkets.

TAX
ballot. The Democratic governor announced the deal with proponents of a ballot initiative that would have raised incomes taxes on millionaires. Democratic-leaning interest groups moved quickly to align behind the single, high-stakes budget proposition. Its the tax program that balances the budget, and thats the key, Brown told the Associated Press after a news conference at a Boeing Co. facility in Long Beach. Joining the forces creates a higher probability of victory, and thats good for school kids, its good for public safety. Brown said working together provides a greater chance of success in November. Joshua Pechthalt, president of the California Federation of Teachers, the chief nancial backer of the millionaires tax, said his group always sought to collaborate with the governor. He said it became clear to Brown and other powerful Democrats within the last couple of weeks that the teachers union was unlikely to simply drop its ballot proposal. I think No. 1, the governor and the legislative leaders saw that we were committed to this, we were not backing down, and last week we published some recent polling we did, which continued to show our measure polling very, very strong, Pechthalt said. The millionaires tax had continued to fare better in public polling than the gov-
Proposed tax measures

Here are separate tax proposals that will be aiming for the November ballot. One is by a coalition that includes Gov. Jerry Brown, while the other is from Los Angeles attorney Molly Munger: Gov. Jerry Brown and the states two largest teachers unions want to ask voters to approve higher taxes for up to seven years.One part of the initiative would raise income taxes on a sliding scale,from 1 percent to 3 percent more,starting at incomes of $250,000 and above. The higher income tax rates would start in January 2013 and last for seven years. Browns plan, which is merging with one called The Millionaires Tax, also would add a quarter-cent to the statewide sales tax for four years starting in January. The additional revenue, up to $8.9 billion a year, would go into a special account dedicated to school districts and community colleges,which in turn would free up money for other local and state services. The Our Children, Our Future initiative sponsored by Munger would raise income taxes on a sliding scale,from four-tenths of 1 percent on dual-income households earning less than $35,000 a year to 2.2 percent for couples with incomes greater than $5 million.The estimated $10 billion a year it would raise would be placed in a separate trust fund that could be spent only on local schools,early childhood education and child care. For the rst four years, 30 percent of new revenue would help pay down state education bond debt. The governor and lawmakers would be prohibited from using the money or directing how it could be spent.The tax increases in the Munger proposal would start in 2013 and last until 2024.
ernors more nuanced approach, which called for a four-year, half-cent increase in the sales taxes and a ve-year sliding scale income tax hike starting with people who make $250,000 or more a year. A Public Policy Institute of California poll last week found Browns measure with just 52 percent, far lower than initiative supporters like to see so early in an election cycle. None of the tax proposals has yet qualied for the ballot. The compromise struck by Brown and the groups backing the millionaires tax will require them to start a new effort to gather petition signatures. The compromise proposal would reduce the four-year sales tax hike to a quarter-cent instead of a half-cent and increase the income tax rates on highincome earners by 1 percentage point to 3 percentage points, depending on income. cation list are funded through money that could be cut by the state this year. The Burlingame Elementary School District Board of Trustees is sending notications to 14.5 FTE positions including 7.5 elementary school teachers, 1.5 reading specialists and 2.5 physical education specialists. Earlier this month, the San MateoFoster City Elementary School District Board of Trustees voted to send notications to people lling 20.03 full-time equivalent positions such as administrators, and those who help with math, art, curriculum, music and social studies. The Millbrae Elementary School District is planning for an estimated $838,790 loss if the November ballot measures do not pass, Superintendent Linda Luna said previously. With that in mind, the district is sending out notications to 9 FTEs including seven teachers in kindergarten through eighth grade, an elementary resource teacher and a middle school counselor. In the Hillsborough City School District, the Board of Trustees already approved a $600,000 budget cut plan that will lead to a few layoffs two teachers due to increasing class sizes, an of how Ali treated women who dared to tell him no. The crux of the case was not if Ali killed Biletnikoff but whether after strangling her with his hands he used a T-shirt ligature to nish the job while she was still alive. The jury listened to more than a month of testimony, including from Ali himself, before beginning deliberations just before noon Tuesday. Biletnikoff, the daughter of former football star Fred Biletnikoff, and Ali met in 1997 at respective substance abuse programs that overlapped in San Mateo. Ali had joined Project 90 while on probation for kidnapping a former girlfriend at knifepoint and became a part-time counselor with access to the van hed eventually use to move her body. The weekend before their confrontation, Ali drank beer with some friends in San Francisco followed by using crack, heroin and crank. After confessing his relapse, Biletnikoff told him hed have to start the rehab program from scratch and the two argued inside an ofce at Friendship Hall on Second Avenue in San Mateo.
The income tax also would last seven years rather than the ve years as Brown had proposed. Rick Jacobs, chairman of the Courage Campaign, another sponsor of the millionaires tax called the deal a victory for progressives and everybody who believes that the state of California needs to refund itself. He acknowledged that backers now face a short deadline to qualify the measure and collect the 807,615 signatures needed to place it on the ballot. Signatures that Brown and the millionaires tax supporters had already gathered will not count toward the new initiative, meaning they will have to spend millions of dollars more. Its going to cost a lot of money, but we can get this revised measure on the ballot. It can be done, and from our perspective, it must be done, Jacobs said. English language learner specialist, two Spanish teachers, a 12-hour per day computer specialist program and 1.5 positions at Crocker connected to electives. Superintendent Anthony Ranii doesnt anticipate any additional reductions in staff. Some districts discussed the cuts as recently as last night. On Wednesday, the San Bruno Elementary School District Board of Trustees discussed sending notices to 17 full-time-equivalent employees 13 elementary teachers, an elementary school principal and three English/language arts instructors. San Bruno is also looking at closing an elementary school, which is why a principal is on the notication list. Jim Lianides, superintendent of the Sequoia Union High School District, said the district is releasing one administrative position, 1.6 full-time-equivalent probationary teaching positions, 53.8 temporary teaching positions and 30 temporary adult school teachers, most of whom are part time. The district is likely to hire back most of the temporary positions at a later date, he said. Wagstaffe argued Ali killed Biletnikoff because she refused to give him her keys so he could score more drugs and after rst strangling her manually deliberately used the T-shirt because she wasnt yet dead. Defense attorney Peter Goldscheider said Biletnikoff called him a loser and compared him to an ex-boyfriend. He said she was also upset he had contact with a pregnant ex-girlfriend. Ali testied he put his hands on Biletnikoffs shoulders to move her from the door and next remembers seeing her on the ground with white foam coming from her mouth. Ali testied he added the Tshirt ligature before leaving Biletnikoffs body on the side of a ravine near a Caada College parking lot. He also pulled off her pants to make the scene look like a sex crime before eeing to Mexico in her car. He was apprehended at the border when he tried returning to the United States. Goldscheider said Ali was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder while in prison after his rst conviction. Ali remains in custody without bail.

are sending out notices. Notification goes to a couple groups of employees. Temporary employees are often rstyear teachers who are only offered a one-year contract to start. Certicated employees most often refers to tenured employees who will be receiving a notice. With seniority, certificated employees may have an opportunity to be reassigned in the district. In the Redwood City Elementary School District, for example, 10 certicated people will receive notices due to possible loss in funding, said Chief Business Ofcial Raul Parungao. Of those 10, six currently have new possible assignments. In terms of temporary teachers, the district will send notices to 25.4 full-time equivalent positions, representing 30 people. Should the budget situation change, those employees may be asked to stay with the district, said Parungao. Most employees on this years noti-

but Judge Barbara Mallach held off the reading until 9:30 a.m. this morning. The jury sent out one question Tuesday afternoon asking for clarication on the felony murder rule committing murder during another felony which is one way they can reach a rst-degree murder verdict. At stake for Mohammed Haroon Ali, 36, is whether the jury found him again guilty of rst-degree murder in the Feb. 15, 1999 death of Tracey Biletnikoff or will return a lesser verdict of seconddegree murder or voluntary manslaughter. The defense agreed Ali killed Biletnikoff but contended the death was a crime of passion provoked by name calling and inuenced by mental illness. But District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, who prosecuted Ali in 2001 for the same case and again now after the 2009 reversal, told jurors Biletnikoffs death was just the latest and most severe example
