Investigation:Six school workers knew of abuse

Teacher alleged to have hit boys; disciplinary action to be discussed for workers who didnt report it
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Six Redwood City Elementary School District employees knew of possible abuse of two 4-year-old boys in a special education classroom but did not report it as legally obligated, according to an independent investigation.
Alexia Bogdis
In early February, Alexia Aliki Bogdis, 43, of Millbrae, was charged with ve counts of child cruelty and four counts of battery on school grounds.
As a result of the arrest, the Redwood City Elementary School District placed Bogdis on administrative leave and began an internal investigation. Eight additional employees were placed on administrative leave as a result of the internal investigation. District ofcials then called for an independent investigation, results of which indi-
cate that six employees knew of possible abuse and did not meet their legal obligation to report it, according to a letter by Superintendent Jan Christensen published on the districts website Wednesday afternoon. The events surrounding the alleged abuse in this case raise important issues for anyone work-
ing with children. Our obligation to protect children under our care is our most serious responsibility. Any time [Redwood City Elementary School District] staff become aware of or have reason to believe that something might be wrong, they have not only a moral and ethical

Creating a philanthropic generation

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Teens are often interested in helping others but are not quite sure where to start. SV2 (Silicon Valley Social Venture Fund) is offering teens a chance to not only get involved but better understand the needs in their community. Through April, 35 middle and high school students are coming together for seven training sessions to inspire broad and deep learning about what nonprofit organizations are, how to think about giving money effectively, and how to select an issue on which to focus. At the end, the
PhilanthroTeens will choose an organization to give a grant of $5,000 to $10,000. Teen participants are children of the SV2 donors who attend a variety of schools in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. We are so proud to be training the next generation of Bay Area philanthropists, says SV2 Executive Director Lindsay Austin Louie. Its amazing to see how the teens mature and become engrossed in social issues over the course of only 21 hours of meetings. Launched in 2009, the SV2 Teen Philanthropy program has graduated 60. Returning high school students make up this years Leadership Committee. While SV2 donors and
staff run the group sessions, the teens take charge in making decisions about the program. Throughout the spring, the teens are volunteering at three nonprots that work to alleviate poverty. They will then debate the strengths and challenges of each organization before deciding how to allocate their grant dollars between the nonprots. For the teens, its a chance to truly understand the issues around them personally. Eighteen-year-old Ian Prouix, a senior at Menlo-Atherton High School, joined after his sister.

SACRAMENTO State Attorney General Kamala Harris promoted legislation Wednesday to reform the mortgage process in California and provide more protections for homeowners, three weeks after she secured $18 billion for California in a nationwide bank settlement. The six-bill package would write the terms of the settlement into state law, make them permanent and apply them to every lender, not just the ve banks that were party to the
nationwide agreement. What we are doing is taking the best of that settlement, bringing it to California, but doing it in a way that will have Kamala Harris lasting impact and will be on our books and change the course so that this does not happen again, Harris said.

natives. The council is slated to discuss Memory Lane again at its March 27 meeting. Neighbors and business owners whose properties abut the walkway cite problems of vandalism, loitering and drug use that they would like to stop. From 2006 through 2011, 44 calls were directly related to activities on Memory Lane. Twenty-nine of those calls were for graffiti, nine for vandalism, three for loitering and three for abandoned bikes, according to the staff report. The access way is also heavily used by Parkside Intermediate School students. School officials also support the closure. On the other hand, the city mailed surveys to 390 households about the possible closure. Of the 134 to respond, 68 percent to 70 percent did not favor the closure and 9 percent to 11 percent probably did not favor the closure, according to a staff report by City Attorney Marc Zafferano and Community Development Director Aaron Aknin. The walkway has a long history with the city. In 1939, the developer who subsidized the lots that abut Memory Lane offered it to the city for pedestrian access, as well as easements for public utilities, according to a staff report. San Bruno accepted in 1940. In 1950, the city abandoned the third part of Memory Lane, which now crosses Grace Honda to El Camino Real. About nine years ago, San Bruno approved a change to the Grace Honda conditional use permit that maintained the pedestrian access. Other than closing the pedestrian and bike access, staff put forward alternatives of improving Memory Lane with surveillance cameras, signs, fencing, repavement and vegetation, as well as enhanced monitoring by police, crossing guards or a communitybased group; or closing Memory Lane from dusk until dawn. The closure could also be done for a trial period.

Will higher gas prices derail the economy?

By Matthew Craft and Christopher S. Rugaber
NEW YORK The price of gas has jumped 45 cents since Jan. 1 and is the highest on record for this time of year, an average of $3.73 a gallon. On Wall Street, talk has turned from the European debt crisis to another worry: Will higher gas prices derail the economic recovery? Not yet, economists say. They argue that the United States is in much better shape than early last year, when a similar surge in fuel prices weighed on economic growth by squeezing household budgets. Americans spent less on clothes, food and everything else. Rising gas prices hurt less when an economy is improving than when its slowing down. So economists expect other spending wont be badly hurt, at least for now. If gas breaks its record of $4.11 a gallon, however, all bets are off. Can the economy withstand the increase weve seen so far? The answer is yes, says David Kelly, chief market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds. The reasons:
REUTERS
The current price for gas is displayed on a sign in Carlsbad.

Jobs. The country has added 2 million over the past year. Those 2 million people with paychecks will spend them, which helps the economy. Lower unemployment also makes people feel better about the economy and less likely to cut other spending way back. Job security. Unemployment claims, the best measure of layoffs, are at a four-year low. Fewer Americans are worrying about losing their job, so they can take the punch of higher gas prices and move on. A steadier housing market, the Dow Jones industrial averages clearing 13,000 and other signs of an improving economy also help. Add
them together and consumer condence is the highest in a year. More condence makes people more likely to keep spending on other things even if gas goes up. The public will howl as we approach $4 gas, but they will probably continue to increase spending, says Carl Riccadonna, a senior economist at Deutsche Bank. Gas wasnt the only thing getting more expensive last year. Prices for milk, meat, bread and other foods were rising because of higher prices for grains and other farm goods. Natural gas prices were also on the rise, making it more expensive for Americans to heat their homes. This year, natural gas prices have plummeted. Unlike like year, lling up the cars tank is about the only thing getting dramatically more expensive. Last year, when Americans were feeling it from all sides, they made tough choices, like cutting out expensive dinners. The increase in the price of gas has been more gradual this year, which could make it easier on the psyche of the American consumer. Last year, prices at the pump rose from $2.78 to a peak of $3.98 in mid-May. The national average for a gallon of regular on Wednesday was $3.73, up from $3.28 at the start of the year.

Scientists reconstruct long-extinct giant penguin

Maori for diver who returns with food stood about 4 feet 2 inches (1.3 meters) tall and lived in the Oligocene period, about 26 million years ago. The research on Kairuku was published this week in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. The rst Kairuku bones were discovered 35 years ago in New Zealand by Ewan Fordyce, a professor of geology at New Zealands University of Otago. He recently teamed with Dan Ksepka, a research assistant professor at North Carolina State University, to reconstruct a skeleton from multiple sets of fossils, using a king penguin as a model. Its pretty exciting, Fordyce told the Associated Press. Weve got enough from three key specimens to get a pretty reliable construction of its body size. Fordyce said the birds elongated bill may have been useful in catching swift prey and its large body size likely helped it swim farther and dive deeper than modern-day penguins. The bird is about a foot (30 centimeters) taller than the largest modern penguin, the emperor. It would have weighed about 132 pounds (60 kilograms), 50 percent more than an emperor.

Stockton mediation first case under new California law
SACRAMENTO Beleaguered Stockton is the rst California city to test a new union-backed law aimed at protecting public employee contracts by making it harder for municipalities to le bankruptcy. Stockton is trying to avoid becoming the most populous U.S. city in modern times to seek Chapter 9 protection by moving this week to participate in a 60-day evaluation process with its bond holders, creditors, employee unions and retirees. If progress is made, the river port city would be allowed to extend negotiations by another 30 days, but talks can be called off any time if the municipality declares a scal emergency. There is much uncertainty about how the process will work under the law, which took effect in January. This is the test case, said state Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski, D-Fremont, who authored the bill. My biggest dream is that they use the process to get to the straight talk and they avoid ling Chapter 9. Municipal bankruptcies are exceptionally rare. Of Californias 482 cities and 58 counties, only two Vallejo in 2008 and Orange County in 1994 have led for bankruptcy protection. Stockton, a city of more than 290,000 people, located 50 miles south of the state capital, was hit hard by the recession and foreclosures, forcing it to make deep cuts to police and other services.

Controversial water bill passes U.S. House

By Gosia Wozniaka
FRESNO The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday approved a controversial water bill that would block the restoration of the San Joaquin River and give California farmers and urban residents more water. The bill was approved by a 246 to 175
margin on a largely partisan vote in the Republican-controlled House. The measure is expected to die in the Democrat-controlled Senate. President Barack Obama also has vowed to veto it. Sponsored by Visalia Republican Devin Nunes, the legislation would repeal plans to restore the San Joaquin River and remove the $300 million already authorized for the project. The
bill overrides a settlement that ended nearly two decades of lawsuits to restore the river. It would also pre-empt state water law and reduce the amount of water available for sh, wildlife and restoration efforts. It would redirect a greater supply from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to farmers, lengthen irrigation contracts to 40 years and ease water transfers.

Obama,Congress leaders seek cooperation on jobs

By Jim Kuhnhenn
WASHINGTON After quarreling for months, President Barack Obama and the top two Republicans in Congress expressed optimism Wednesday about nding a common jobs and energy agenda, prodded by political reality to show results in an election year. Meeting face-to-face for the rst time since July, Obama, the Republican leaders and top Democratic lawmakers emerged without the acrimony and crises that have been normal hallmarks of their relationships. The president believes that there were some areas where we could nd common ground, and frankly I was encouraged, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said. The session, called by Obama, came after bipartisan majorities in Congress passed an extension of a payroll tax cut sought by the president. White House and congression-
al aides said participants concluded it was possible to act on more legislation despite the partisan pressures of an election year. I think there is an indication here that we can get some things done, and we look forward to doing that, White House spokesman Jay Carney said. Cooperation is likely on measures that face the least resistance, such as uncontroversial initiatives aimed at helping small businesses raise capital and create jobs. Carney said elements of a House Republican bill that extends assistance to small businesses overlap considerably with the presidents priorities. Though hardly an all-out thaw in the relationship, the meeting signaled a new emphasis on nding common ground. Driving Republican efforts to nd legislative successes are public approval levels for Congress and congressional Republicans in particular that are at historic lows. And while White House ofcials believe the clashes
with Congress have improved Obamas standing, they say any legislative accomplishments would accrue to his benet as well. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the burden now falls on Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. I hope that the majority leader, whos responsible . for deciding what bills we will turn to, will turn to bills that can actually pass and be signed into law, McConnell said. Still, Obama and the leaders disagreed on whether the president immediately should grant a permit for a Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline. Obama blocked the Keystone XL pipeline this year, citing uncertainty over a route that avoids the environmentally sensitive Sand Hills region in Nebraska. The pipelines Canadian builder, TransCanada, said Monday it still hopes to build the full 1,700-mile pipeline, and the White House said it would review an application for a new route.

On to Super Tuesday: GOP battle on

By David Edpo
WASHINGTON A victorious Mitt Romney and runner-up Rick Santorum both claimed satisfaction from the close Michigan primary on Wednesday as they swiftly shifted their duel for the Republican presidential nomination to Ohio and the rest of next weeks delegate-rich Super Tuesday contests. Campaigning in Bexley, Ohio, Romney promised more jobs, less debt and a smaller government if he wins the nomination and defeats President Barack Obama in the fall. Interestingly, the people who said that the economy and jobs were their No. 1 issue, they voted for me, overwhelmingly in the Michigan primary, he said. Santorum saw the events of the previous 24 hours differently, having won half of the 30 delegates in his rivals
home state primary even though he lost the popular vote. We had a much better night in Michigan than maybe was rst reported, he said, in Tennessee. While Santorum Mitt Romney contended the race to pick an opponent for Democrat Obama was down to two men, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul had other ideas as they set their own priorities for the 10 Super Tuesday contests. That made Washingtons caucuses on Saturday something of a campaign waystation, worth 40 delegates but squeezed in between two big primary nights. The pattern of the candidates schedules underscored a shift in the nature of the race, away from one-or-two-state nights where political momentum count-
ed for much, and into a period of multiple contests, where the object is to pile up delegates in pursuit of the 1,144 needed to win the nomination at the party convention this summer Rick Santorum in Tampa, Fla. As the campaigns pivoted toward Super Tuesday, it appeared Romneys narrow home state triumph after a string of weak performances had quelled talk of a late entrance into the race by another contender. There seemed no doubt that the next major clash would occur in Ohio, a big industrial state with 8.1 percent unemployment, 63 convention delegates at stake and a long history as a battleground in general election campaigns.

San Mateo County pot card fee hike lowered, delayed

Medical marijuana identification cardholders in San Mateo County who rushed to renew before a hefty fee hike took effect the week of March 2, 2007 were met with a surprise: a month-long delay and a smaller price tag. Beginning in April 2007, the county fee for non-Medi-Cal beneficiaries will be $98 while Medi-Cal users are charged $49 for processing. While the new figure was higher than the $45 cost in San Mateo County, it was far less than the $174 announced prior because of a client shortage through the state.
Picket targets contract

Teachers from three school districts chanted, sang and picketed the week of March 2, 2007 over the prolonged negotiations, charges of unfair labor practices and overall frustration with the San Mateo Union High School District during that school year. Contract negotiations came to a halt in November 2006 when both sides declared impasse over health benefits. Finally, significant progress is being made in the right direction, but nothing is solved yet, said Teachers Association President Craig Childress. The prior month, the teachers came out to express dissatisfaction with a change in their out-of-pocket benefits costs ranging from $40 to $600 deducted from their paychecks. The California Public Employees Relations Board, known as PERB, upheld the teachers complaint of unfair labor practice earlier in late January. The deductions went into effect on Jan. 31, 2007, pulling money from paychecks.
seeking no more than 16 months in prison. Although the new case was not filed against Jessica Corbyn Lack, it could be used by the court to determine how much restitution the 38-year-old must pay. Lacks negotiated plea was contingent on her repaying all the bad checks and thefts before Judge Craig Parsons imposes sentence April 13, 2007. Lack reportedly stole 20 checks while volunteering at the Burlingame United Methodist Church on Howard Avenue in August and September 2006. Prosecutors contend Lack forged five checks totaling $6,000 and inappropriately used a credit card she was given to purchase pizza for a church event. Instead, Lack allegedly spent $500 at the Half Moon Bay hotel and bought $300 worth of goods at Walgreens. The church learned of the embezzlement when the bills came in. Lack said she threw away the other 15 checks, according to Burlingame police.

Teacher honored for saving a life

A third grade teacher was recognized for an act of heroism by the Foster City Police Department the week of March 2, 2007 after helping to save the life of a man who collapsed at the Oakland Museum. At approximately noon on Feb. 22, 2007, Jennifer Flores was supervising a group of 20 Audubon Elementary School students on a field trip at the Oakland Museum. The children were having their lunch break when Flores went to another room to retrieve some jackets. While retrieving the jackets, a man collapsed on the floor and his wife called for CPR help. There were about five other people in the room, but Flores was the first to jump to the rescue. She performed CPR on the man for three to five minutes until the paramedics arrived. Flores only learned CPR in October and never thought it would actually be necessary. You take these classes, you never actually think youll have to use it. Its a good lesson for everyone, Flores said.

go into growing the grain to feed our food. Water, for example, is used not only for the livestock to drink, but also to grow all the food that the animals eat. Producing a pound of animal protein can take one hundred times as much water as producing a pound of plant protein, though it varies by the type of animal. But even broiler chickens, generally considered the most efcient of livestock, use up enough water annually to supply New York, Houston and Chicago. And thats just chickens. Beyond water needs, growing animal feed requires substantial amounts of fossil fuels. It may come as a surprise, but fossil fuels are used in every aspect of agriculture, from transport to processing to fertilizer production. This is an issue no matter what you eat, since even soybean production requires fossil fuel energy. But due to the huge amount of grain fed to our food, this effect multiplies quickly for meat. Behind every cow is enough fossil fuel to ll nearly ve barrels of oil. Do we really want to be eating that much petroleum? To put the resource use in concrete terms, we could feed the combined populations of the United States, Indonesia, Brazil and Mexico, just with the grains we, a single country, feed to our animals. We could save enough water to supply millions of American households, and save enough fossil fuels to supply the entire world with oil for a day. The concept that we can feed the world with
Feeding our food

By Rachael Monosson
f youve ever own over the country and looked out the airplane window, youve probably seen the acres and acres of corn, planted in geometric patterns stretching from one horizon to another. But if you pause a moment, you may realize that the average consumer doesnt actually eat that much corn, at least not in its recognizable forms. So, where does all that grain go? Even counting high-fructose corn syrup and ethanol, 80 percent of corn grown in the United States goes not to feed human beings directly, but rather to feed livestock: chickens, pigs, feedlot cows and farmed sh. Thats about the area of the state of Nevada, dedicated to growing food for our food, without even counting pasture or other feed grains. This might not seem to mean anything, until one considers that an animal eats more food, whether measured in mass, calories or protein, than it produces, because the animal must use some of the food energy over the course of its life. The amount of grain that goes into an animal to get meat from it varies by the animal in question, but it ranges from about two times as much food in as you get out of a chicken, to more than ten times as much for a cow or lamb. On average, six times as much protein (in the form of corn, soy and range plants) is fed to livestock as we get in the form of meat. This wasteful use of resources is not limited to the amount of grain fed to animals on its own. There are also all the resources that
Guest perspective
cheap meat is simply awed, as we put far more energy into raising livestock than we get out of it as food. Eating more plants and less meat, even without completely eliminating animal protein from ones diet, can save resources on a large scale. Every meal that replaces meat with plants represents food, water and fossil fuels saved. The Meatless Monday campaign (http://www.meatlessmonday.com) is a good way to start. Or, try spreading it out. Eating meat once per day instead of twice would halve the impact of ones diet on the planets limited resources. Reducing meat consumption does not need to be a political or moral statement. It is simply a prudent measure to prevent the degradation of our planet. Like recycling or taking public transport, eating lower on the food chain means leaving a smaller footprint on the earth, and using up fewer of our shared resources. And as members of an increasingly global civilization, isnt that the least we can do?

Letters to the editor

Act of Valor
Editor, I read Paul McHughs guest perspective about Act of Valor (Inside Act of Valor in the Feb. 28 edition of the Daily Journal). It stated that this movie would attract males ages 18 to 54. Sorry to tell you, but I am over 60 and saw the movie yesterday. It was terrific! In an era when military cutbacks are rife, it is encouraging to see that even though these men volunteer, they do a wonderful job protecting our country. As your review stated, the title of this movie could be Your Tax Dollars In Action. This is somewhat true, but acts of valor occur daily by not just the Navy SEALS, but by the soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. When countless articles in womens magazines droned on where all the real men have gone, I knew. Now everyone who sees this movie will know too. The first job of the president is to protect our nation. Reducing the military budget for social programs is wrongheaded. No country, no need for social programs. Everyone should see this movie, starting with our elected officials. Glad the reviewers hat made a cameo appearance. Good luck to the mayor and the City Council on this important issue.

San Carlos should become a charter city

Editor, Mayor Andy Klein of San Carlos may be heading in the right direction by leading San Carlos to become a charter city (Mayor suggests creating charter city published in the Feb. 24 edition of the Daily Journal). Other California cities are charter cities. Sacramento, San Francisco, San Mateo, Redwood City, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Hayward, Berkeley, San Rafael, Stockton, Fresno, Anaheim, Irvine, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Pasadena and Long Beach are but a few of Californias charter cities. Why not San Carlos?
The faith that is the Religion of Peace

Editor, Muslims are rioting in Afghanistan because some Korans were accidentally burned (and for which America apologized profusely.) Meanwhile in Iran, Reverend Yousel Nadarkani is facing execution because he converted to Christianity. And yet, Christians around the world are not rioting, burning and killing others because of that. Makes you wonder which faith is truly the Religion of Peace.

ey Wyoming, jealous much? And you Rhode Island? Why are you talking so much smack when youre about as memorable as, well, nothing? Dont think youre any better, New York, even with your big-city Gotham cool. Anthony Weiner enough said. Florida? The only thing you have going on is an endless array of crazier-than-ction news stories and close proximity to some island hot spots. Washington? Relentless rain. Oregon? Ditto. Virginia is for lovers? Big deal. The Dakotas and Carolinas? Cant even tell you guys apart. Same goes for that Iowa/Ohio/Idaho trio. Theyre like three indistinguishable sisters. Did the rest of you 49 paltry states really think we wouldnt know the nonsense youve been spewing about the Golden State? Cmon, you guys ought to know that anointing California as Americas most hated in a survey by Public Policy Polling is akin to anonymous scrawling on the school bathroom wall. Everybody is going to hear about it and eventually somebody will throw the source under the bus. Go ahead, Illinois, New Jersey, Mississippi and Utah point ngers at the others and protest that you guys are also in the least favorable image category in hope that we can all be BFFs. Maybe, but still, hard to imagine the reasons for hating New Jersey are the same for the strong distaste toward the left coast. New Jersey has big hair and table-tossing housewives though they do get a nod for Bon Jovi and the Sopranos. California? Weve got shining sun, glittering snow, majestic mountains, lapping ocean waves and everything else possibly desired in between. Like, they say, dont hate us because were beautiful. Granted, we have our ugly moments not even counting our batch of batty housewives and glut of celebutantes. Chances are good we dont wake up each day with perfect brows, glowing skin and an automatic aura of condence. Weve got a few zits in need of some serious political Proactiv like Proposition 8, shoddy budgeting and a voter initiative process than lets anybody propose just about anything for the ballot. But with a few slaps of face paint otherwise known as high-level marketing and a prime spot next to the blandness of Arizona and Nevada, we look pretty good comparatively. Dont throw Lindsay Lohan in our face. Shes not a native. And the governator? Its not like you guys in the rest of the nation dont still recite Ill be back. Yes, Im talking to you lingering Jesse Ventura supporters over in Minnesota. Others might write off California as the land of fruit and nuts but everybody worth a pass through the velvet rope knows those are just the beginnings of a yummy cocktail party platter. Speaking of which, have I mentioned wine country? I might give it a bit to Texas if only because the world knows better than to mess with them. But Delaware? What good are you for anything outside of incorporation? Same goes for Vermont and New Hampshire. See ya, wouldnt want to be ya. Just send us some maple syrup and Ben and Jerrys pints. Keep the primary. Nobody gets hurt. Despite the presence of Hollywood, California is no Sally Field looking for universal validation. You dont like us? Too bad. Everybody knows theres a ne line between love and hate. Besides all we have to do to get a little affection is wave some cheap foreclosed real estate under your nose along with an invitation to join us at the popular kids table. Well nd some common ground by stop picking on each other and collectively hating on France.

ment said that the economy grew faster at the end of last year than previously estimated a 3 percent annual rate, the best reading since the spring of 2010. Stocks fell sharply after about an hour, then recovered by mid-afternoon, after the Federal Reserves survey of regional economic conditions said the economy strengthened in the rst six weeks of the year. They had turned negative around 10 a.m., after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testied on Capitol Hill that the economy has performed better than expected in recent months. He said gas prices will add to ination and unemployment is falling faster than expected. Bernankes remarks made it appear less likely that the Fed will begin another round of bond-buying to juice the economy. Bond-buying increases the money supply and could add to ination, so signs of ination make it a less appetizing option. And unemployment must remain high for the Fed to justify such an aggressive policy. U.S. Treasury debt plunged on speculation that the Fed wouldnt enter the market again. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note spiked to 2.02 percent during Bernankes remarks, from 1.94 percent minutes earlier. It fell back to 1.97 percent.

The Nasdaq composite index briey broke through 3,000 on Wednesday for the rst time since the collapse in dotcom stocks more than a decade ago. Stocks ended lower, but it was still the best February on Wall Street in 14 years. The milestone for the Nasdaq, heavy with technology stocks, came a day after the Dow Jones industrial average closed above 13,000 for the rst time since May 2008. Apple, the Nasdaqs biggest component, topped $500 billion in market value, the only company above the halftrillion mark and only the sixth in U.S. corporate history to grow so big.

Bernanke notes economy better than expected

By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON Chairman Ben Bernanke told lawmakers Wednesday that the economy has performed better in recent months than the Federal Reserve had expected. If the trend continues, he said the Fed might have to reassess its outlook for a slow recovery. Investors appeared to take Bernankes more optimistic words as a signal that the Fed is less likely to adopt further steps to boost growth. It could also mean that the Fed could back off its plan to hold its key interest rate near zero until
late 2014. Stocks and bond prices both fell. Analysts said Bernankes speech was notable for what it didnt include: any mention of a new round of government Ben Bernanke bond-buying. Speaking at a hearing of the House Financial Services Committee, Bernanke cautioned that the Fed doesnt expect the sharp drops in unemployment to continue this year and it plans to stick
with its policy on interest rates. Still, he said the Feds late-2014 target for any increase in interest rates is tied to the economys health and the Fed might have to adjust its target if the economic outlook improves. The policy is conditional, Bernanke said in response to a question on the topic. It is based on what we know now. A spike in ination could also force the Fed to reconsider that policy. Gasoline prices are rising again. Bernanke said that will likely push ination up temporarily while depressing consumers purchasing power.

Apple market value hits $500B

By Peter Svensson
NEW YORK Apples market capitalization hit $500 billion in opening trading, placing it in an exclusive club of companies that have reached the stratosphere of stock valuation. Apple is already the worlds most valuable company, and the gap between it and No. 2 Exxon Mobil Corp. has widened rapidly in the past month, as investors have digested Apples latest earnings report and raised their hopes that the company might institute a dividend. On Tuesday, it sent out invites to reporters for an event in San Francisco next Wednesday, apparently for the launch of its next iPad model. Several companies have reached the $500 billion level, but none have held on to it. Exxon was worth just over $500 billion for two short stretches at the end of 2007.

El Camino advances to first-ever CCS final

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The time has come for the Colts to invade Broncos Country. For the rst time in El Camino High School history, the boys basketball team will play in the Central Coast Section nals, this after the Colts defeated St. Ignatius in the Division III seminals 51-45 Wednesday night in San Francisco.
Its an amazing, amazing feeling, said El Camino point guard Elijah White. This is the rst time our school has ever made it to a nal. Its an amazing feeling. Amazing pretty much sums up the frantic nish on St. Ignatius home oor. No. 2 El Camino took a 45-23 advantage into the fourth quarter, but the third-seeded Wildcats stormed back behind some torrid 3-point shooting and gutsy penetration by Trevor Dunbar. St. Ignatius went on a 14-2 run to
start the fourth quarter and with 3:24 left, the El Camino lead was down to single digits. We needed to relax and understand that we dominated (S.I.) for three quarters, said El Camino head coach Archie Junio. And we should still continue to dominate them. I have a feeling that the anticipation was kicking in a little too early. The Wildcats almost made them pay for celebrating prematurely. Stephen Domingo, who the Colts held in check for three quarters (4
points, 1 of 11 shooting), found the stroke from the outside and knocked down three 3pointers as St. Ignatius started chipping away at a lead that seemed insurmountable at one point. The game was defensive to begin, with El Camino up 8-6 after one quarter. But White and Michael Smith caught re from the perimeter in the second quarter. The

Burlingame falls in overtime to SHC

Soccer season a success

s 2011-2012 high school soccer season played out, I had a feeling that it was a down year for San Mateo County teams. I couldnt imagine anyone, locally, would make much noise in the Central Coast Section playoffs. Boy, was I wrong. In the 12 seminal games played Wednesday night, eight county teams were represented in seven of them with local teams in at least one seminal game in all six division tournaments, three boys and three girls. More importantly, all the county teams represented their schools and leagues very well. Combined, the squads compiled a 14-9 record, with only ve of the 17 teams going one and done and eight teams vying for a spot in Saturdays championship games. Even the teams that have been eliminated put up ghts. Both the Hillsdale boys and girls teams pushed squads from the West Catholic Athletic League teams in rstround games before going out. The Lady Knights fell to Presentation 2-1, while the St. Ignatius boys got a lucky goal in overtime to knock out Hillsdale. Heck, the Crystal Springs girls team, which ran roughshod through a weak West Bay Athletic League Skyline Division the lower of the two WBAL divisions won its rst CCS game with a 1-0 win over Pacic Grove in the rst round of the Division III. The Gryphons lost to top seed Los Gatos 3-0 in last Saturdays quarternal game, which happens to be the most lopsided loss of all county teams. But even
San Mateo boys soccer coach Chuck Callaghan admitted he started to think about overtime when St. Ignatius tied the game at 2 late in the CCS Division II seminal game at Burlingame Tuesday evening. We ran a lot of guys a lot of minutes, Callaghan said. The Bearcats had other ideas. After seeing the Wildcats score the equalizer with three minutes left in regulation, San Mateo put its foot back on the gas. In the waning seconds of regulation, San Mateo's Benny Angeles sent a long ball to Angel Mejia. With a defender on his shoulder, Mejia had a step and broke in on goal. The S.I. goalkeeper came off his line but Mejia went around him and with a defender crashing into him, calmly slotted the ball into the empty net to give the Bearcats an incredible 3-2 and send them into the Central Coast Section Division II nals. It was nice teamwork, Mejia said. I was just hoping I was going to score. Incredible, Callaghan said. These guys have such an incredible will to win. The third-seeded Bearcats will face either No. 4 Willow Glen or No. 1 St. Francis Saturday at Gilroy High. San Mateo (18-2-2 overall) took a commanding 2-0 lead at halftime, as Alejandro Mendoza scored twice for the Bearcats. His rst strike came in the 10th minute and foreshadowed Mejias game winner. Mendoza ran onto a ball into space, beat his defender, went around a charging S.I. goalkeeper and calmly slotted it to the right corner for the 1nothing advantage. We try to go out fast, Callaghan said. We have very good forwards. Mendoza hooked up with Ezequiel Sandoval for the 2-0 advantage in the 25th

McGuire, Warriors hold off Hawks

By Charles Odum
Warriors 85, Hawks 82

Atlanta to beat the Hawks 85-82 on Wednesday night. Just incredible, Warriors coach Mark Jackson said of McGuire. He embodies everything weve preached about since Day 1, and I thought the important thing is to make a statement and to start the guy that has done everything weve asked him to do. David Lee scored 22 points, including the
ATLANTA Dominic McGuire scored no points in only his second start of the season. He drew plenty of praise, though, for his defense and rebounding as a surprise ll-in for Stephen Curry. McGuire, a forward making a start in the backcourt, had 15 rebounds and led Golden States defensive efforts against Joe Johnson as the Warriors answered a late comeback by
go-ahead basket with 30 seconds remaining. The Warriors took the lead early in the second period and protected the lead until Zaza Pachulia scored on a follow-up shot after a miss by Teague with 52 seconds remaining for a 78-78 tie. Lee drove past Pachulia to score with 30 seconds remaining to give the lead back to Golden State. Donta Ellis had 24 points and eight assists, while Lee had 12 rebounds for a double-double. McGuire, a fth-year player from Fresno
State, held Johnson to 18 points on 6-of-17 shooting. Curry missed all but the nal 3 seconds of the game due to a strained tendon in his right foot. Jackson said he knew after Wednesday nights loss at Indiana he was going to move Ellis from shooting guard to point guard against Atlanta. He said he was tossing and turning as he tried to pick a new starter at shooting guard. The surprise choice was the 6foot-9 McGuire.

Sanchez making progress in return from injury

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Giants inelder Freddy Sanchez took ground balls at second base and threw to rst Wednesday for the rst time since he dislocated his right shoulder on June 10, a signicant moment in his rehab. Sanchez returned to the eld two days after feeling some soreness in his back. Hes not too worried about his short-term prognosis though. Hes looking forward to being ready by opening day. Thats the main goal, Sanchez said. Im just anxious to get out there.
Anxious is an understatement. San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said he hopes to have Sanchez ready to play in a game by the second week of March. Freddy Its important Sanchez the pace picks up a bit, Bochy said. It would be nice to start getting him some at-bats. Sanchez and catcher Buster Posey, also coming off surgery, gure to
improve both the Giants anemic offense and shoddy defense. San Francisco ranked near the bottom in hitting (28th), runs scored (29th), home runs (22nd), and on-base percentage (29th). You always talk about defense up the middle, Bochy said. Every good club is strong up the middle. Defensively, the Giants ranked 14th in elding percentage and errors, 26th in turning double plays, eighth in stolen bases allowed and fth in passed balls. The Giants overhauled their up-themiddle defense in anticipation of get-
ting Sanchez and Posey back. Brandon Crawford, who played in 66 games last year, is slated to start the season at shortstop and Angel Pagan, acquired in a trade with the New York Mets, will begin the year in center eld. I havent been on a eld with a team since the injury, Sanchez said. Its going to take a while to get my rhythm back batting and throwing. Its good to be out there and working with Crawford. Sanchez felt his back lock up on him while elding short hops on a back eld a couple of days ago, but said it feels ne now.
I did all my stuff at both minicamps and just started throwing three or four days ago, Sanchez said. My shoulder is feeling good and Im excited to get out there. Notes: RHP Tim Lincecum is scheduled to pitch an inning in Saturdays spring opener and Bochy said it was fair to say that Lincecum is on track to start opening day. ... LHPs Brian Burres and Madison Bumgarner are set to pitch in Sundays split-squad games. RHP Matt Cain and LHP Barry Zito follow in the rotation. ... Bochy is giving the team a day off on Friday.
U.S. soccer beats Italy for first time ever

By Daniella Matar
GENOA, Italy American players applauded each other and their fans. Their supporters cheered loudly and proudly waved the red, white and blue. Gaining a rare victory over a soccer power, the United States beat Italy 1-0 Wednesday night on Clint Dempseys goal in the 55th minute for the Americans rst win over the Azzurri in 11 games over 78 years. Its a work in progress, Dempsey said. I like to think that were clos-
ing the gap and hopefully one day we can do something special. A Texan who has become an increasingly important element of the American team, Dempsey put a right-footed shot from just inside the penalty area past an outstretched hand of goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon. Fabian Johnson had crossed to Jozy Altidore, who with his back to the goal against Italys Andrea Barzagli touched the ball back toward the top of the area. I think we look like a top team in the sense where we have one chance and were going to make it count, Altidore said. I think its a big step in the right direction.
After returning to the World Cup for the rst time in 40 years in 1990 and advancing to the quarterfinals in 2002, the Americans have to Clint Dempsey struggled make additional progress. They were knocked out in the rst round of the 2006 World Cup and the second round of the 2010 tournament, eliminated both times with defeats to Ghana. They wasted a two-goal lead against Mexico last June and lost 4-2 in the
nal of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, their regional championship. That prompted the U.S. Soccer Federation to re coach Bob Bradley in July and replace him with Jurgen Klinsmann, the former German national team star player and coach who has lived in California for more than a decade. Its historic for us beating a team of Italys level, Klinsmann said. If you beat Italy on their own soil then that means a lot. ... Obviously as a coach youre pleased because you see them progressing, you see young players stepping up and playing against these amazing, experienced Italian players who have won the
World Cup and played big tournaments year in and year out. Obviously it was a big step for us. Among the seven nations considered the world powers Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain it was just the ninth win for the United States to go along with 48 losses and six ties. The Americans had been 0-7-3 against Italy and had been outscored 32-4. We dont want to get carried away its a friendly, U.S. captain Carlos Bocanegra said. But it denitely feels good and well be excited about this one, and hopefully it gives us more condence going into the summer.

Tiger gets testy at press conference

By Doug Ferguson
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. Tiger Woods had a terse exchange with a magazine reporter Wednesday over excerpts from his former swing coachs new book, and ended the conversation with a long stare and a sarcastic, Have a good day. If that wasnt enough, he elded 10 questions about his putting. And so began a bumpy road to the Masters for Woods, who has gone more than two years without winning on the PGA Tour, and is approaching the four-year anniversary of his last major championship. Woods, who last year moved to Palm Beach County, is playing the Honda Classic for the rst time since 1993, when he was a 17-yearold with no big concerns except to nish high school. Hank Haneys book, The Big Miss, is scheduled for release March 27, the week before the Masters. The book is about Haneys six years as Woods swing coach, and Golf Digest on Tuesday began to release excerpts through its tablet applications. In the excerpt, Haney details Woods fascination with the military, particularly the Navy SEALs. I was beginning to realize that his sentiment ran deep, and that as incredible as it seemed, Tiger was seriously considering
becoming a Navy SEAL, Haney wrote, referring to the summer of 2007. I didnt know how hed go about it, but when he talked about, it was clear that he had a plan. After nding out that the Navy SEAL age limit is 28, I Tiger Woods asked Tiger about his being too old to join. Its not a problem, he said. Theyre making a special age exemption for me. When asked about the book, Woods said his disappointment with Haney hasnt changed. When asked his reaction to the excerpt, Woods replied, Well, Ive already talked about it. His agent, Mark Steinberg, said in a statement Tuesday afternoon that Haney engaged in armchair psychology that was ridiculous. Because of his father, its no secret that Tiger has always had high respect for the military, so for Haney to twist that admiration into something negative is disrespectful, Steinberg said. Woods father, Earl, was part of the U.S. Armys special forces. The press conference at PGA National turned awkward when Alex Miceli, a Golfweek senior writer and contributor to Golf Channel, asked Woods if he considered clearing attempt deected off a teammate and right to the feet of Eli Love, who buried it. That second Wildcats strike re-awoke the Bearcats as they pressed hard for the go-ahead score. They had a couple of close chances before Angeles found Meija. We just kept pressing, Mejia said.
being a Navy SEAL at the height of his career. Ive already talked about everything in the book. Ive already commented on everything, Alex, Woods said. Then I must have missed you answering that question, Miceli replied. Well, Ive already commented on the book. Is that in the book? Is it in the book? Woods said. Miceli replied he had not seen the book. Youre a beauty, you know that? Woods said, trying to smile. Miceli said Steinbergs statement suggested something was wrong with the excerpt and he wanted to know if it was true. Woods paused for a moment, said with indifference, I dont know, then stared at him and said, Have a good day. It was a change from the way he handled a press conference in December 2010. Tom Callahan had written in His Fathers Son that he would not have been surprised if Woods had followed his father into the military. Woods was asked that day where Callahan came up with that notion. Well, Ive always wanted to become a SEAL, Woods said back then. Thats something that I told my dad from the very get-go either Im going to become a professional golfer or Im going to go become a Navy SEAL. On Wednesday, Woods worked hard to contain his anger. Burlingame opened the scoring in the 14th minute when defender Mark Lopez intercepted an Irish clearing attempt and ried a low, hard shot into the lower left corner of the net from 35 yards out to give the Panthers a 1-0 lead. SHC tied the game 10 minutes before halftime. Using some fancy footwork, Jonathan Rojas beat two Panther defenders along the endline before feeding a pass to a wide open William Velasco in front of the net. Velascos
The Haney book gures to be the latest distraction for Woods, whose life has been loaded with them since his downfall caused by extramarital affairs. Since he returned from the scandal at the 2010 Masters, Woods has gone through a divorce and went more than a year before adding corporate sponsors. He changed coaches and caddies, and missed four months with leg injuries. His new swing the fourth overhaul he has made since turning pro in 1996 is coming together nicely. Woods has shown greater command of his golf ball in the last four months, giving himself a chance to win four times. He won his Chevron World Challenge at the end of last year with birdies on the last two holes. But the putter, the one club in his bag no one could ever question, has become a talking point. Woods lost in the second round of the Match Play Championship last week when he badly missed a 5-foot par on the 18th hole. He left Arizona by saying it would take him one day to x it. I had to go back to putting in the reps, and I did, he said. I spent almost four hours the other day putting, which was good two different sessions ... with a meal in between, he said. I just worked on just going back to my old basics with my dad, and some of the things that he taught me. When I looked at the tape, I got away from some of those things. one-timer tied the game at 1 at halftime. The Panthers went ahead 2-1 when Kasey Wakasa was taken down in the penalty box, earning a penalty which he calmly converted in the 50th minute, but the Irish came right back with the equalizer three minutes later. Velasco scored his second goal of the night off an assist from Dashiell MacNamara. Rojas put SHC up 3-2 with a goal off an assist from Wesley Chambers, but Schneiders late strike sent the game to extra time.

minute. Sandoval made a run down the left sideline. A Wildcat defender missed on a clear attempt and Sandoval broke in on goal. As a defender and goalkeeper closed on Sandoval, he sent a short cross to the front of the goal where Mendoza got inside position on his defender and scored into an empty net. At halftime, Callaghan reiterated to his team to keep working. We talked about going for that third goal, Callaghan said. San Mateo began working for that dagger goal, but as the half wore on, the Bearcats appeared to lose some of its aggressiveness. We took our foot off the pedal, Mejia admitted. S.I. started its comeback in the 54th minute when James Smith headed home a Shane Slosar corner. The Wildcats tied it with three minutes left in regulation when a San Mateo

The Irishs Oscar Reyes scored in the 98th minute about two minutes before the game would go to a penalty-kick shootout to end the Panthers season short of a CCS championship for the second year in a row. Last year, Burlingame advanced to the championship game, only to lose 3-2 to Willow Glen. Twice Burlingame (11-8-3 overall) held a one-goal advantage and twice Sacred Heart Cathedral (13-6-4) tied the game. The Irish took a 3-2 with about 20 minutes to play, but a goal from Burlingames Sam Schneider with about ve minutes left in regulation sent the game into two, 10-minute overtime periods.

the bench. But with the Peninsula Athletic League Most Valuable Player on the sideline, it was Anthony Knight who all but won the game for El Camino with some inspired basketball. No. 11 scored all 10 of his points in the frame and maybe more importantly, handled the point guard position with ease. I was really nervous, Knight said. I dont usually get the chance to play the 1. But the coach told me and I tried to play hard, keep my team in it. Knight did more than that. No. 11 helped the Colts surge ahead it was his steal and thunder dunk-a-rama that gave El Camino a 40-23 lead with 1:21 left in the third quarter. We already know what Anthony Knight can do, Junio said. He is a point guard. We just have another point guard. It was no worty teams in the championship games. In a section dominated by the WCAL in nearly every other sport, the CCS soccer tournaments are annually the most balanced, in which a public school has just a good a chance as a private school to win a CCS title. Thats based more on the game itself. In no other sport can one team dominate and yet walk away with a loss than in a soccer game. Its just the nature of the beast. *** The county is also proving it can play some basketball. Three teams Serra, along with the Half Moon Bay and Sacred Heart Prep boys squads all advanced to the CCS nals Friday. At least one girls team, either Terra Nova or San Mateo, will move into the Division III championship game, and the El Camino boys will have a shot as well as the Colts face St. Ignatius in a Division III seminal game Wednesday night. The most surprising story is Half Moon ries. Two more baskets gave El Camino a 45-23 advantage heading into the fourth. And it was then that the Wildcats turned on the jets. Domingo started the quarter with back-to-back bombs. Sandwiched between 14 Wildcat points were a pair of Smith free throws. But with 3:59 left, the lead was down to 10 points. St. Ignatius had all the momentum and with 1:34, a Dunbar bucket and then a White charge gave S.I. the basketball down by four. The Wildcats missed on that possession, and back down the oor, White fed Jalen Bitanga for a huge basket to make it 51-45. Perhaps even bigger was Smiths block shot of Dunbar on the ensuing drive, putting the Colts, their bench and El Camino fans in a ruckus. Bay. One of the smallest schools if not the smallest in the PAL advanced to the Division IV title game with a 49-42 upset of No. 1 Palma Tuesday night. It is the Cougars rst nals appearance since winning it all in 1996. What makes their story great is the fact they came out of the PALs Ocean Division, supposedly the second-best division in the PAL. Coach Rich Forslund, in his second season on the coast, has done wonders with the program, using the WCAL model to get them there: namely by playing tough defense. Forslund guided Riordan to three CCS titles (in 1999, 2001 and 2006), along with two other nals appearances (2002 and 2007). In 2002, however, he piloted the Crusaders to the state title. In two years with Half Moon Bay, Forslund has compiled a PAL record of 15-5, going 6-4 last year before capturing the Ocean Division title this year with a 9-1

North Korea says it will halt nuclear activities

By Matthew Penington and Foster Klug
WASHINGTON North Korea raised hopes Wednesday for a major easing in nuclear tensions under its youthful new leader, agreeing to suspend uranium enrichment at a key facility and refrain from missile and nuclear tests in exchange for a mountain of critically needed U.S. food aid. It was only a preliminary step but a necessary one to restart broader six-nation negotiations that would lay down terms for what the North could get in return for abandoning its nuclear weapons program. Pyongyang pulled out of those talks in 2009 and seemingly has viewed the nuclear program as key to the survival of its dynastic, communist regime, now entering its third generation. But the announcement, just over two months after the death of longtime ruler Kim Jong Il, also opened a door for the secretive government under his untested youngest son, Kim Jong Un, to improve ties with the United States and win critically needed aid and
international acceptance. It also opened the way for international nuclear inspections after years when the Norths program went unmonitored. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the agreement, which was announced at separate but simultaneous statements by the long-time adversaries, was a modest step but also a reminder that the world is transforming around us. We, of course, will be watching closely and judging North Koreas new leaders by their actions, Clinton told a congressional hearing. Indeed, North Korea has reneged on nuclear commitments in the past. An accord under the six-party talks collapsed in 2008 when Pyongyang refused to abide by verication that U.S. diplomats claimed had been agreed upon. The North Korean Foreign Ministrys statement, issued by the state-run news agency, said the North had agreed to the nuclear moratoriums and U.N. inspectors with a view to maintaining positive atmosphere for the U.S.-North Korea talks.

Syria threatens to cleanserebel area in Homs

Egypt lifts travel ban on U.S. pro-democracy workers
CAIRO Egypt lifted a travel ban Wednesday on seven Americans charged with fomenting unrest by working for illegally funded pro-democracy groups, signaling an end to the worst crisis in Egypt-U.S. relations in 30 years. The clash put $1.5 billion in annual American aid to Egypt at risk and sparked intense behindthe-scenes negotiations between the two countries to find a way out. Defense lawyer Tharwat AbdelShaheed said the seven Americans, including the son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, could only leave the country if they post bail of 2 million Egyptian pounds (about $300,000). They have also signed pledges to attend their next hearing.

BEIRUT The Syrian regime showed a new determination Wednesday to crush its opponents, vowing to cleanse a rebel-held district in the besieged central city of Homs after nearly four weeks of shelling. Government troops massed outside the embattled neighborhood of Baba Amr, raising fears among activists of an imminent ground invasion that could endanger thousands of residents, as well as two trapped Western journalists, who have been under heavy bombardment. A Spanish journalist who had been stuck in the area escaped Wednesday to Lebanon, the second foreign reporter to do so since a government rocket attack last week
killed two of his colleagues and wounded two others. The fate of the foreign journalists has drawn attention to Homs, which has emerged as a key battleground between government forces and those seeking to end the regime of authoritarian President Bashar Assad. The governments increasingly bloody attempts to put down the 11month uprising have fueled mounting international criticism. The Obama administration summoned Syrias senior envoy in the U.S., Zuheir Jabbour, over the Homs offensive. The State Departments top diplomat for the Mideast, Jeffrey Feltman, expressed his outrage over the monthlong campaign of brutality and indiscriminate shelling in Homs, according to a statement.

Country meets contemporary decor

By Kim Coook
Browse through old Country-oriented shelter magazines and youll see a lot of what designers used to call duck and basket decor: calico-print-lled rooms, Colonial furnishings, walls stenciled with owers and ducks. It was a homey, well-loved style. Now a new generation of home decorators and stylemakers is updating the look. Country Living magazine lls pages with bright colors, crisp graphic prints, tag-sale side tables and smart mid-century sofas. There are still great baskets, but nowadays the ducks more likely to be part of a hip new wallpaper. Call it Modern Country or Farmhouse Chic its sparer and less cluttered than the old Country, but no less welcoming. It honors Countrys homespun roots without sending us too literally back to the past. Well-worn, often utilitarian elements from the farm house, barn and small-town store blend with contemporary furnishings and finishes, making it all look

Thats where she found an old cowboys bathtub that now holds extra blankets in her bedroom. The rooms transformation, which includes snowy white paint, a chandelier and luxurious white bed linens, is chronicled on her blog, Buckets and Burlap.

Birds showing signs of spring fever

By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
I recently spent time skiing with friends in Colorado. As the temperatures there felt more like March than January, it was hard not to talk about the weather ... back home. We were a large group, and although we all hailed from different parts of the country, each of us reported the same thing: This was the winter that never happened. Now well into February, Mother Nature dare I say it? seems to have given us a pass on harsh weather. Plants and animals seem convinced that spring is upon us. According to news reports, sandhill cranes began their spring migration north almost a month ahead of schedule, showing up along the Platte River in Nebraska in January, a rare sight.
Indeed, avian life in my own backyard seems to indicate optimism. My resident screech owls have already begun proclaiming their breeding territories with highpitched trills just after dusk. Last week, while out walking the dogs early one morning, I spotted one perched in the entrance of the owl box mounted on the north side of a large willow tree near our pond. His small ear tufts were unmistakable, and as I slowly approached the
box, which is hung about 15 feet off the ground, I noticed he slowly closed his eyes as if he were falling asleep in front of me. This clever tactic helps disguise the birds large yellow eyes while still allowing them to see. He sat motionless in the entrance hole, and the markings on his plumage looked amazingly similar to the bark of the willow tree. Screech owls are not the only owls in our backyard. The much larger great horned owl can be heard calling almost every night, too. This large bird is seldom seen during the day, and most people are not aware when great horned owls frequent their backyards. Great horned owls begin their courtship in November and start nesting as early as February. Sitting on eggs in February is no easy task when temperatures can easily be
well below freezing, although they seem to be getting a break this year. Their young take a long time to mature, and owl chicks are ready to leave the nest in late spring, when there will be an abundance of prey on which to practice their hunting skills. The denitive sign of spring for me is when I hear the rst redwing blackbird call from the marsh behind our house. I have not heard one yet; most years, the males do not arrive until March to stake out their territories. If they are enjoying the mild winter like the rest of us, I have a feeling I will hear them early this year. The rst to show up in the marsh are males at least two years old. These seasoned veterans know that arriving early means getting rst dibs on the prime breeding sites. They are easy to spot; the sides of
their wings have bright red badges. Younger males without the red wings will arrive later with the females and do their best to coax a mate with real estate that is less than desirable. The mallards, too, have decided it is time to choose a date for the dance. The larger groups that were together for the winter have split up, and I have noticed pairs swimming together in the small ponds and marshes near my home. The males brilliant green head, dark chestnut breast and steel-grey back seem to jump out against the dull landscape and are in stark contrast to the drab plumage of the female. Perhaps all this activity means we are in for an early spring. Im ne with that as long as Mother Nature doesnt discover her oversight in March and suddenly decide to make up for it!

The bills would give renters more notice before they have to vacate a foreclosed home and give cities more tools to ght neighborhood blight from vacant houses. Lenders would have to provide borrowers with a single point of contact if they need to discuss foreclosures or refinancing, without getting passed around to different departments. Wednesdays announcement comes days after Harris called for a halt to foreclosures throughout California. Last week, she asked the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees loans backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to suspend foreclosures and consider reducing mortgages for atrisk homeowners. The two federal programs own or guarantee more than 60 percent of California mortgages but are not subject to the $25 billion settlement announced in February between more than 40 states and the nations top mortgage lenders. Harris was joined at the Capitol news conference by Democratic lawmakers, including Assembly Speaker John Perez, of Los Angeles, and Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, of Sacramento. Similar efforts to reform the mortgage industry have been introduced repeatedly, only to be watered down or die in the Legislature. Harris and Steinberg said they expect opposition from the banking industry as well as many Republican and some moderate Democratic lawmakers. The national settlement makes it more likely the bills will pass this year, Steinberg said. Previously, we did not have the template of a national settlement that addresses each and every one of these issues. Thats the difference, Steinberg said. If its the right resolution for some homeowners in distress, it ought to be right for all homeowners in distress. The California Bankers Association said it has previously worked with lawmakers to pass more than fourdozen mortgagerelated bills. It warned in a statement that the proposed state legislation must mesh with what is being done at the federal level. Dustin Hobbs, spokesman for the California Mortgage Bankers Association, said his organization was still reviewing the proposed legislation. Californias lending community remains committed to both helping homeowners and protecting affordable access to mortgage credit, his association said in a statement. It is critical that any new legislation take into account our states fragile economic condi-
THE DAILY JOURNAL

tion. Any introduction of new legislation and regulation must include a realization that markets and consumers need stability in order for lasting economic recovery to take hold. The announcement came as about 50 members of the Occupy movement and foreclosure groups chanted and waved signs outside the state Capitol, demanding an immediate halt to foreclosures. A group calling itself Bay Area Moratorium planned to ask Harris to seek to vacate every current foreclosure action and bar local sheriffs from enforcing the foreclosures, using the argument that the foreclosures were based on fraud. Its not a real settlement, its hush money to get you through the next election, said Kevin Carter of Sacramento, one of the demonstration leaders. He used a bullhorn to lead the protesters in chants of, Banks got bailed out, we got sold out. Steinberg and Harris said the problem has resonated not only with individual homeowners, but across the state and national economies. If there was ever a meatandpotatoes, middleclass issue, if there ever was a crisis putting innocent, hardworking people into dire circumstances, this is it, Steinberg said.
MORTGAGE
More than 500,000 Californians have lost their homes to foreclosure since 2008, more than in any other state. The socalled California Homeowner Bill of Rights would prohibit some of the most egregious practices that contributed to the housing crisis. That includes banks signing off on foreclosures without properly reviewing the documentation, a process known as robosigning. It also would prohibit a practice known as a dualtrack foreclosure by requiring lenders to rst attempt to work with borrowers on foreclosure alternatives before ling a notice of default. The legislation also would let Harris convene a special grand jury to investigate nancial and foreclosure crimes that span the state. Harris increased ability to defend homeowners would be paid for with a $25 fee on each notice of default filed by a lender. Prosecutors would have four years to bring charges in foreclosurerelated crimes, up from the current one year.

Its hard to mess up something thats already chipped or faded. She adds: Theres a certain restfulness about it that appeals to so many, and its refreshingly attainable.

Two kids in a bedroom can be better than one

By Melissa Kossler Dutton
Going on vacation? Hire a sitter for your garden

By Dean Fosdick
Gardeners dont have to remain housebound during the vacation season just because their edibles and owers need tending. Find a sitter to handle the work. Keep your must-do list simple, though. Few plant minders are willing to do windows or the laundry. The job depends upon what they have in their yards and how long theyll be gone, said Caryn Sommersdorf, who operates Green Garden Sitters in Orlando, Fla. A vegetable garden may need to be checked every day. A ower garden, not so much. Sommersdorf and partner Jennifer Richardson perform the typical seasonal gardening chores weeding and watering, mowing and harvesting. Well also bring in the mail. Turn the lights off and on to make it look like somebodys home. Well fertilize and prune and care for our clients pets, too, she said. But were not going to clean or paint the house. Sommersdorf got into the garden-sitting business a few years ago after asking a friend to take care of her tomatoes while she was away. I asked her to water the plants, but she didnt think about picking them, and the plants were a mess when I came home, she said. They had worms everywhere. Fruit ies. It took them a while to produce again. Reliable plant sitters can provide peace of mind for vacationing gardeners, Sommersdorf said. They also can save them money. Florida has a lot of snowbirds (winter residents) who go away for half a year and come back and all their landscaping is dead, she
said. Thats quite an investment lost. Gardeners going on vacation should create a chores checklist, and arrange for an interview and plant tour with prospective sitters well before departing. Show them where the hoses, pruners and other tools are kept and demonstrate how they work. Offer up the edibles when they ripen, and point out your favorite owering plants to ensure they are not weeded out. Design a watering program. Group your container plants so theyre easier to work with. Timers can be great on hoses but be sure you have someone around who can keep an eye on them for you, said Robin Haglund, president of Garden Mentors Inc. in Seattle, who frequently is asked how to prep plants for trips. You may want to provide your own supplies, too, such as fertilizers and pest-control products if youre into organic gardening, she said. Garden sitters also can serve as temporary managers of a property, said Jack McKinnon, who operates a business called The Garden Coach in the San Francisco Bay Area. Some people hire maintenance services for their yards, he said. Some of these crews come at odd hours and need to be held accountable for what they do. McKinnon suggested a few ways to nd garden sitters: Go online. Look for ads in the paper under Landscape Gardeners. I doubt its all that difcult to nd knowledgeable people looking for garden work in this economy. For more informationabout garden sitters visit the University of Vermont Extension Department of Plant and Soil Science fact sheet at http://pss.uvm.edu/ppp/articles/jul99tips.htm.
In the Panebianco house, sharing a bedroom is about more than saving space. Gerri and Sam Panebianco have chosen to put their sons, 3-year-old J.P. and 2-year-old Eric, in the same room because they want them to become good friends and develop social skills. We want them to understand what its like to navigate shared space and to be happy sharing space, said Gerri Panebianco, an owner of Little Crown Interiors, which specializes in designing childrens rooms, in Orange County. Through her work, she has seen many parents making a similar choice, deciding that having kids share a room is good preparation for college and marriage. This is a skill that they feel children should be learning early, she said. Of course, in many families with more children or smaller homes, sharing a bedroom is also a necessity. Todays tough economy has caused many families to stay in smaller homes longer, said Jim Badgley, managing broker of Windermere Real Estate in Kirkland, Wash. I know theyve outgrown their house, but theyre not moving, he said. Stefanie Nieves and her husband, Eddie Morales, have no plans to sell their two-bedroom, starter home in Perth Amboy, N.J. even though they now have two children. We cant really move, so we have to make the space work, she said. Her children, 3-year-old Elias and 18month-old Mia, share a bedroom. The kids have responded well to the arrangement, she said. They have the best relationship, she said.
They love being in their room. Pairing a boy and a girl hasnt been an issue at their age, she said. But as children approach middle school, that arrangement can be more challenging, said James Crist, a psychologist at the Child and Family Counseling Center in Woodbridge, Va. Parents should make accommodations such as having kids dress in the bathroom to ensure privacy for older brothers and sisters who share a room, he said. Whatever the reason for putting children together, a shared bedroom is a good opportunity to learn about negotiation and compromise, Crist said. There can be other benets as well, he said. When kids are in the same room, they may have an easier time going to bed, and can become closer with their siblings. It can strengthen the relationship, he said. Children may nd it reassuring to have a sibling there to keep them company and talk with them before falling asleep. Some of the kids really prefer sharing the space, he said. They choose to stay together. Gus Dreher, 6, loves sharing a room with his big brother, Abe, at their home in Peterborough, N.H. Im not scared when Im with him, Gus said. Sharing a room has been good for the boys, said their mother, Tonya Dreher. The boys, who used to share a room with their now 10year-old sister, arent interested in separating, even though the family now lives in a four-bedroom home. Tonya and her husband, Steve, like the closeness that has developed between the brothers. Theyve always been together, Tonya Dreher said. I feel like when theyre in there, theyre allies.

Hall in San Mateo, where she died, to the ravine. The weekend before her Feb. 15, 1999 death, Biletnikoff spent time with a childhood friend while Ali went drinking in San Francisco and continued on a bender up and down the Peninsula involving alcohol, heroin and cocaine. That Monday, he confessed his relapse to Biletnikoff who drove him from her East Bay home back to Project 90s meeting space at the Friendship Hall. Inside the office, Ali said he asked Biletnikoff for her car keys so he could return to San Francisco because he did not want to start over. Then it came to the point that what really got me angry is when she called me a loser, he said. Biletnikoff was angry also because he told her of his former girlfriend being pregnant, an admission that came the same day the couple had unprotected sex. Ali claimed Biletnikoff hit him a few times but he never struck her. In a different segment of testimony, he said a wound on her head was caused after her death because he dropped the body while moving it from the van to the ravine. After leaving the body, Ali fled to Mexico in her car and was arrested coming back into the United States. Ali said he returned because he dreamt of Biletnikoff, the same reason he later confessed to authorities about the strangling. Under cross-examination, Ali admitted having never told anybody including the defense psychiatrist that he staged the body to look like a sexual assault because he was afraid. Wagstaffe asked repeatedly why he kept such information to himself for 13 years but was willing to tell jurors. Is that because youre making it up? Wagstaffe asked. No, Im not, Ali said. Ali remains in custody without bail. He continues his testimony this morning.

ALI
personally for the first time how he says Tracy Biletnikoff, 19, was strangled by his hand in a manic state described earlier by doctors as fueled by bipolar disorder and emotional distress. Ali, dressed in a dark suit and green shirt, began his day of testimony outlining his move from Fiji as a teenager, a series of relationships which prosecutors have used to argue a previous history of violence on his part and eventually the circumstances of Feb. 15, 1999 when Biletnikoff confronted the recovering drug and alcohol abuser about a relapse. I grabbed her shoulders ... I tried to move her, Ali said, explaining his desire to leave an office at the Friendship Hall where Biletnikoff was telling him he had to restart the Project 90 rehabilitation program from scratch following a weekend of drugs and alcohol. I was just angry, he said, recalling how he tried pulling her from the door and that his hands moved to her neck. The next thing he remembered, he testified, was that she was on the floor with white froth at her mouth and I couldnt believe I did it. Ali said he used a Project 90 van to drive his girlfriends body to a relatives home and then to a parking lot at Caada College in Redwood City where he pulled off her jeans to replicate a sex crime and pulled her by the ankles down the ravine. Ali said he also took a black T-shirt from his home and wrapped it around Biletnikoffs neck to further divert attention from his crime. The T-shirt found on Biletnikoff is a critical decision for jurors as District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe has argued Biletnikoff was actually still alive after Ali manually strangled her and he knowingly turned his shirt into a ligature to finish off the job. Defense attorney Peter Goldscheider wants jurors to
believe Alis version which bolsters his argument the death was less than a first-degree murder and he should be found guilty of a lesser charge. Ali was convicted of first-degree murder in 2001 and sentenced to 60 years to life for that crime and a previous kidnapping of a former girlfriend. Ali did not testify in that trial. In 2009, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the conviction, ruling that Wagstaffe had improperly removed at least one black individual from the jury pool for racial discrimination reasons. During his time in prison, the defense said Ali was diagnosed with bipolar disorder which played a role in the strangulation. The defense also said Ali was mentally distressed because, days before, a former girlfriend pregnant with his child told him she wanted nothing to do with him. During cross-examination at the end of the day, Ali conceded during this period he was also still involved with a 16-year-old girl he had formerly impregnated and even exchanged Valentines Day gifts. However, he insisted he and Biletnikoff loved each other. Ali and Biletnikoff, the daughter of former football star Fred Biletnikoff, met in 1997 at respective substance abuse programs that overlapped in San Mateo. Ali was even named a counselor in Project 90 with access to the group van he later used to transport Biletnikoffs body from the Friendship Sacred Heart Prep, had a similar experience. Toole joined the group freshman year after she and her mother had read an article about the program in a local magazine. Getting involved has made me more aware of whats going on around me, she said of working with organizations like the Boys and Girls Club and Shelter Network. The opportunities have also inspired Toole to continue to be involved. Shes particularly enjoyed working with children at the Boys and Girls Club on things like reading, arts and crafts. Denna Nazem, 14, joined as a sixth grader. Since joining, the eighth grader at Menlo School has taken the lessons from PhilanthroTeens to a new level by starting her own project at school. Specically, Nazem was interested to learn about the effects of childhood poverty. It changed my view about how important education is, she said. the legal reporting requirements, such as telling a superior but not law enforcement. Guidotti said ultimately it was reported, which brought other issues to light. Also, these individuals will be important witnesses, she said. Bogdis was put on administrative leave from the district Wednesday, Feb. 1 after allegations were made about her conduct in the classroom. Investigators believe Bogdis slapped a student, twisted a students wrist and kicked the back of a chair, causing a desk to move forward and strike a student. She is also accused of depriving a child of food and kicking a child in the stomach. No children were seriously injured. Bogdis has worked in the district for
SV2
philanthropic efforts and Prouix wanted to learn more. He was intrigued by the idea of supporting efforts that would make long-term investments rather than offering one-time xes. This year, Prouixs second with PhilanthroTeens, hes a leader which allows him to take a more active role in the groups work. Its inspired me a lot to see things rsthand versus just reading about it, he said. Learning about local poverty issues was eye opening for Prouix who, through the process, met a teen who is also a senior at M-A receiving help. It was a realization Prouix had never previously had. Shannon Toole, a 17-year-old junior at
As a result, she helped create the Menlo Mentors a group of about 30 middle school students who volunteer at the Boys and Girls Club tutoring students and overall mentoring after school. Nazem credits PhilanthroTeens with opening her eyes to the volunteer opportunities, the importance of getting involved and also ways her school can become involved. This years SV2 teens program is under way, but we still have a few spots open for new SV2 Partner families, if you join by Friday, March 2. The remaining PhilanthroTeens sessions for this year are from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday March 4, March 25, April 22 and April 29.

ABUSE
responsibility to report it to CPS, but a legal obligation to do so, Christensens letter said. Disciplinary actions will soon be discussed for the six employees who knew of possible abuse. The district noted there is no evidence any other employees had knowledge of the possible abuse. San Mateo County Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti said it is unlikely the employees will be prosecuted. They may have simply delayed reporting or made technical violations of
ve years, district spokeswoman Naomi Hunter said previously. She has never served in any other positions and her most recent class had seven students, Hunter said. Police investigators believe the victims were two 4-year-old boys and that the crimes occurred over the past few months. Ofcers acted on a report from Child Protective Services and obtained an arrest warrant for Bogdis Feb. 3, police said. Bogdis, who is out on $15,000 bail, is due back in court Thursday for arraignment.
