WASHINGTON The
American job market isnt just
growing. Its accelerating.
Employers added 236,000 jobs in
February and drove down the unem-
ployment rate to 7.7 percent, its
lowest level in more than four years.
The gains signal that companies are
condent enough in the economy to
intensify hir-
ing even in the
face of tax
increases and
gover nment
spending cuts.

Plans for a temporary re station
in Burlingame will go before the
Planning Commission Monday for
review a step toward testing
shared fire services among four
cities.
San Bruno, Millbrae, Burlingame
and Hillsborough gave the go-ahead
to continue exploring shared admin-
istrative services in 2011. One of
the rst steps was creating a tempo-
rary station, which is expected to
open this summer. Under the pro-
posal, stations on Hillside Drive in
Burlingame and Crestview Drive in
Millbrae would be closed. A new
station would then be placed some-
where within the three-mile dis-
tance between the two stations.
Plans to build such a station at 1675
Skyline Blvd. in Burlingame will be
reviewed by the Planning
Commission Monday. Once built,
the station will be a test run for a
possible long-term agreement
between the cities for shared re
services.
It is recognized that moving a
re station requires a level of cer-
tainty that current re service stan-
dards can be maintained or
improved. Fire department staff,
city staff and various elected of-
cials have had many discussions on
the feasibility of consolidating re
stations to reduce costs while keep-
ing the trust of the communities we
serve, Fire Chief Don Dornell
wrote in a March 8 letter to the
community. The involved agencies

Alive with Pleasure,Sami Kaddouras latest book of poetry,explores the idea of contentment and enjoyment of life.
By David Wong
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Poet Sami Kaddouras San Mateo
backyard is very much like the man
himself: tranquil and modest.
An overhang holds a laundry line
with a few towels thrown upon
them. Lawn chairs are placed
around a small coffee table covered
by an orange tablecloth. On the
table there are an assortment of
fruit, vegetables, coffee and ciga-
rettes. The sun pierces through the
occasional break in the foliage
cherry blossom petals routinely fall.
Though the setting of his North
Central San Mateo home is serene,
he admits yard and home mainte-
nance often takes a back seat.
Kaddoura professes that most of his
life has been spent doing ofce
work, such as accounting and
translating. He laughs heartily when
he admits he has no idea whats
going on in his house.
Alive with Pleasure, his latest
book of poetry, explores the idea of
contentment and enjoyment of life.
Its very important to me for any-
body to believe that (they are) going
to live with pleasure as much as
(they can), Kaddoura said.
Kaddoura began as a playwright
because of his love for theater and
folk singing. He had trouble getting
his work published for reasons out
of hand.
So I came to the (United) States
still writing some plays, but nally I
found ... the way is closed, theres
no way (I can write) plays any-
more, Kaddoura said.
He arrived in the United States
Jan. 15, 1981 and began his career
in writing poetry in 1981. The inspi-

While farms no longer make many local
headlines, agriculture is quite important to San
Mateo Countys history.
Today, less than 1 percent of the workers in
San Mateo County are in agriculture, accord-
ing to the 2010 U.S. Census. But, according to
the 1880 U.S. Census, 960 individuals of the
8,700 living in San Mateo County owned or
leased their own farms. Next week, the San
Mateo County History Museum will unveil its
newest changing exhibit, Plowing Ahead:
Historic Peninsula Farming, focusing on the
importance of agriculture locally.
San Mateo County was the original bread
basket for San Francisco, said Mitch Postel,
San Mateo County Historical Association
president.
The two-room exhibit, which will be on dis-
play for 18 months, includes some pieces that
will be on display for the rst time. While
there are opportunities for people to get a
hands-on feel for things like creating a knot or
churning butter, visitors will also get to see
rst-hand two types of Knapp Side-Hill Plows,
which were developed in Half Moon Bay, and
horse-drawn farm equipment from
Runnymede Farm in Woodside that has been
meticulously restored by architect Adolph
Rosekrans, then donated to the museum.
Curator Dana Neitzel explained how many
of these pieces were new inventions created in
San Mateo County. The Knapp Side-Hill
Plows, for example, were created because R.I.
Knapp found himself often repairing plows
which werent made to easily go back and
forth on a hillside. With many hillside farms
locally, his design allowed for the plow to have
stronger, steel pieces and work on a hillside,
which created a family business, Neitzel said.
Equipment on display showcases tools used
in a variety of types of farming from dairy
and grain to grapes and potatoes. In the second
room, a collection of lithographs of Peninsula
farms by Grafton Tayler Brown, the rst black
artist in California, in the late 1800s give an
idea of what was grown and from where the
families originally came. Few farmers of that
time were actually from the area. Many had
traveled west or even emigrated from other
countries.
Most of the images were created in 1878 for
the book Moore & De Pues Illustrated
History of San Mateo County. Twenty-two of
these pieces will be on display along with
another six lithographs drawn by artists Joseph
Britton and Jacques Rey for the same book.
The San Mateo County History Museum,
2200 Broadway in Redwood City, is open 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.
Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for seniors and
students, free for members and children 5 and
under. For more information visit www.histo-
rysmc.org or call 299-0104.

hear a report and pro-
vide direction on the
initial steps to create

which can flexibly respond to unexpected

menting fellowship programs.

CITY GOVERNMENT
The Redwood City Council will con-
sider a ban on single-use bags based on the
countys template which also calls on
retailers to sell bags for 10 cents until Dec.
31 2014 followed by a quarter there after.
The city estimates the ordinance will poten-
tially reduce its annual use of plastic bags
by 95 percent to about 2 million annually. If
approved, the ban would begin April 25 at
the earliest but staff is recommending a six-
month transition with a start date of Oct. 1.
At the same meeting, the council will
consider dual appeals of plans to expand
the number of gas pumps at the Costco at
2300 Middlefield Road.
The Planning Commission last year
voted 6-1 to allow Costco to expand its cur-
rent 12 pumps to 16 rather than the full 20
sought by the business. Costco appealed the
decision as did nearby gas station owner
Andy Saberi who wants the station number
kept at 12.
Since the council delayed the appeal in
January, Costco has revised its site plan to
reconfigure the main driveway for a stop
sign at the exit and reduced the number of
parking spaces from 747 to 740.
The City Council meets 7 p.m. Monday,
March 11 at City Hall, 1017 Middlefield
Road, Redwood City.

Truck owner admits
torching vehicle for insurance
A Redwood City truck owner behind on his
payments pleaded no contest Friday to felony
grand theft for torching the vehicle so his
insurance company would pay off the $14,000
loan balance.
Nery Leonidas Garcia, 27, was originally
charged with arson and insurance fraud but
prosecutors let him accept a deal on the theft
charge instead. Garcia faces a set term of 120
days in jail when formally sentenced April 5.
Prosecutors say on May 3, 2011 Garcias
wife called AAA Insurance to report the
Dodge Durango stolen and a sheriffs deputy
found his truck on re in Portola Valley.
Investigators concluded the re was arson and
that Garcia had arranged the blaze to settle his
outstanding loan.
Garcia was originally free on a $50,000 bail
bond but was taken back into custody on a
$75,000 bench warrant after failing to appear
at an earlier court hearing.
Authorities warn of man
claiming to be with Sheriff s Office
San Mateo County sheriffs deputies are
warning residents in San Carlos about a man
who was going door-to-door earlier this week
claiming to be from the Sheriffs Ofce.
The incident was reported at about 6:30
p.m. Wednesday in the 1100 block of
Woodland Avenue.
The suspect said he was with the Sheriffs
Ofce, displayed some type of badge and was
also carrying candy canes. He said he wanted
to meet neighbors after recently moving to a
residence on nearby Laurel Street, sheriffs
ofcials said.
Authorities said no one from the Sheriffs
Ofce was going door to door at that time.
The suspect was described as a Hispanic
man in his early 30s who is about 6 feet tall
and heavy-set. He was last seen wearing a red
ball cap, possibly with a Mexican flag
insignia, and a black or dark-colored sweat
suit, according to the sheriffs ofce.
He was last seen walking south on Cedar
Street and has not been found.

Lawmakers OK health
insurers rate-setting regions
SACRAMENTO California lawmakers
are signaling their willingness to give insurance
companies more exibility in setting the cost
for health care premiums.
Amendments to a pair of consumer-protec-
tion bills by two Democratic lawmakers, Sen.
Ed Hernandez of West Covina and
Assemblyman Richard Pan of Sacramento,
were put into print Friday.
The bills, SBx1-2 and ABx-1, would allow
health insurers to divide California into 19 rate-
setting regions to accommodate the states size
and diversity. Some lawmakers and consumer
advocates wanted to limit insurers to as few as
six regions.
Special election set to
fill state Senate vacancy
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has
declared a special election in May to ll a state
Senate seat in the Central Valley that opened
after a moderate Democrat quit to work for
Chevron.
On Friday, the governor said the primary for
the 16th Senate District seat will be May 21.
The special runoff election, if needed, will be
July 23.
The district, formerly represented by
Democrat Michael Rubio, includes Kings
County and parts of Fresno, Kern and Tulare
counties. While its boundaries have changed
since redistricting, the special election will be
held under the previous district because Rubio
resigned in mid-term.
Family: Death of woman
in lion cage was accident
FRESNO Relatives of a 24-year-old intern
killed by a lion at a California animal park said
Friday they believe the facility followed safety
protocols and the death was a tragic accident.
Investigators believe the 5-year-old male lion
lifted the door of a partially closed feeding cage
with its paw and killed Dianna Hanson as she
cleaned a bigger enclosure area, Fresno County
Coroner David Hadden has said.
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Daly City man who fraudulently used
credit cards stolen from mail by a postal work-
er last fall pleaded no contest Friday to three
felonies while the mailman who orchestrated
the thefts delayed his sentencing two weeks.
Marlo Lacsamana, 41, pleaded no contest to
commercial burglary, identity theft and pos-
sessing stolen property. He faces three years
and four months in custody when sentenced,
in part because of his record that includes four
felony convictions.
The former postal worker who gave
Lacsamana and two others the mail, 38-year-
old Romeo Natan, was to be sentenced Friday
for similar felonies but his defense attorney
was ill. Natan is now
scheduled for a March 22
hearing at which he faces
up to three years in prison
for identity theft, commer-
cial burglary and credit
card fraud.
Most of the mail thefts
occurred during
November 2012 in the
Devonshire Avenue area
of San Carlos. Natan was
identied as the thief after being caught on a
surveillance video at the Target store in Colma
using stolen cards and an alleged accomplice
caught using a different stolen card implicated
him as the source. A Daly City police search
of Natans San Bruno home reportedly turned
up bags of undelivered mail, including more
than 2,000 pieces in a storage closet and more
than 1,000 pieces in the trunk of his car.
Prosecutors also charged three men who
received cards from Natan and all have now
settled their cases. On Thursday, Joel Lugtu,
31, pleaded no contest to credit card fraud
and identity theft for no more than nine
months jail. Edgar Guinto also received nine
months jail followed by three years proba-
tion.
Lacsamana has previous convictions for
grand theft, car theft and methamphetamine
possession. He also has a pending trial for
methamphetamine possession and being
under the inuence of drugs in public.

Around the state
By Terry Collins
OAKLAND At least 18 suspects afliat-
ed with a notorious street gang were arrested
Friday during a series of early morning raids in
Oakland, state and local authorities said.
The pre-dawn sweeps began about 5 a.m. at
more than a dozen locations across the city
involving alleged members of the Case Gang,
which has been involved in some of the citys
most violent crimes, Oakland Police Chief
Howard Jordan told reporters at a news confer-
ence.
More than 160 agents from the Department of
Justice, the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Drug
Enforcement Administration assisted police
with the arrests and served two-dozen search
warrants in the city and surrounding areas.
The multiagency raids were part of Oakland
polices ongoing Operation Ceasere, a joint
anti-crime and anti-violence initiative that
resurfaced late last year.
Flanked by several ofcials, including
Attorney General Kamala Harris and U. S.
Attorney Melinda Haag, Jordan said they took
successful steps in dismantling the gang, adding
that it was probably one of the more violent fac-
tions hes seen in his near three-decades in law
enforcement.
We fullled a promise today that I made to
the public back in October and that is we will
use every legal means possible to identify those
who are involved in a violent crime and to bring
them to justice, Jordan said. Today, we kept
our promise.
Jordan said the Case Gang feuded with a rival
gang, the Money Team which police say has
also faced a similar fate in terms of arrests
not for traditional motives such as money or
turf, but out of pure hatred.
Harris said the Case Gang in particular had
been roaming the streets of Oakland terroriz-
ing good and hard-working people. Those
arrested on Friday will likely face charges for
attempted murder, robbery and violent home
invasions, she added.
Lt. Tony Jones said the gang was an offshoot
of another violent group, the Nut Case Gang,
which went on a violent spree in the early
2000s. Jones said police and allies were able to
prevent the Case Gang from killing a rival gang
member, recently.
Deputy Chief Eric Breshears said that several
rearms, including an assault rie, were also
seized during the multiagency raids.
At least 18 arrested in police raids in Oakland
BERKELEY Chef and food activist Alice
Waters inspected damage to the facade of her
famed Chez Panisse on Friday after a re
blazed through a landmark dining section of
the Berkeley restaurant.
A small eating area with signature wood-
work within the restaurants front porch
burned, but reghters were able to extinguish
the re quickly and the bulk of the building
was not damaged, re ofcials said.
The re apparently started in a sub-oor area
of the building in the pre-dawn hours, but the
cause has yet to be determined, said Berkeley
Fire Department Deputy Chief Avery Webb.
The location and circumstances of the blaze
were unusual for a restaurant re, Webb said.
The business was closed at that time. There
was nobody in the building that was encoun-
tered. People arent usually in that area of the
building. So thats just drawing our attention
to the fact that we need to look at this pretty
closely, he said. Theres not an obvious rea-
son for the re yet. The investigators are tak-
ing a look at it and not starting with any pre-
conceived ideas of how the re may have
started.
No one was injured and neither the restau-
rants structure nor its celebrated kitchen suf-
fered, Waters said.
Im pretty shaky right now but Im just glad
no one was in the building, an emotional
Waters said in an early morning interview with
KRON-TV outside her charred restaurant. So
thats a great relief that in the middle of the
night that this happened. It really focuses all
your attention on what it is important.

WASHINGTON First there was a two-
year pay freeze. Now furloughs loom, as fed-
eral agencies make personnel costs a prime
target for across-the-board budget cuts that
went into effect last week. The result: anxiety
and low morale in a workforce often envied
for its job security.
It would certainly put a strain on things,
said Jonathan Schweizer, 61, an environmen-
tal engineer at the Environmental Protection
Agency in Chicago who could be forced to
take up to 13 days of unpaid leave this year.
Id probably have to run up some credit card
debt or defer maintenance on my home that
Id otherwise consider important.
Government agencies vary widely in how
they are dealing with the sequester, as the
automatic cuts are called, according to labor
unions that represent federal workers. Federal
workers could face seven days of furloughs at
the Housing and Urban Development
Department, while Homeland Security per-
sonnel might see twice that number.
More than half of the nations 2.1 million
federal workers could be furloughed over the
next six months. The federal government is
the countrys single largest employer, with its
employees making up about 1.2 percent of the
nations work force.
A lot of people think federal employees are
fat-cat bureaucrats in Washington, but they
dont realize more than 85 percent of these
workers live outside of D.C., said Tim
Kauffman, spokesman for the American
Federation of Government Employees. A lot
of them are not highly paid folks, like VA
nurses and emergency response workers.
AFGE, which represents more than 600,000
federal workers, is trying to keep track of all
the different furlough plans as their members
face the prospect of lost wages during manda-
tory time off without pay and growing frustra-
tion about getting work done.
Federal workers are
bracing for furloughs
By Cristina Silva
PHOENIX Republican Sen. John
McCain of Arizona said Friday that some of
the more than 2,000 illegal immigrants recent-
ly released by the Homeland Security
Department because of budget cuts may have
been convicted of serious crimes, citing local
sources.
In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary
Janet Napolitano, McCain demanded new
information on the release of the detainees,
who were facing deportation, including the
details of their criminal records. He said
theres a possibility some of them had com-
mitted serious crimes such
as smuggling, narcotics
trafficking and child
molestation.
Federal officials main-
tain those released were
non-violent criminals and
low-risk offenders. The
states where immigrants
were released include
Arizona, California,
Georgia and Texas.
McCain wants Napolitano to make public
this month the criteria used to determine
which detainees were released and how many
had been convicted of serious crimes.

The rich arent paying their fair share
Editor,
Regarding the story, Tax bills for rich
approach 30-year high in the March 4 edition
of the Daily Journal, what a biased view of
taxes for the rich! Todays wealthy pay but a
fraction of the taxes their grandparents paid. In
1962, the tax rate on the highest wage earners
was 52 percent. Today, carried interest tax
rates, affecting mostly the top, are around 15
percent on millions/billions.
The rich have been paying Congress to cut
their taxes and their business taxes for the last
30 years which, along with deregulation,
caused the Great Recession of 2007.

Peninsula High School
Editor,
Regarding the relocation of Peninsula High
School to the San Mateo High School campus,
its my understanding, and please correct me if
Im wrong, that the following are on record as
opposing the move: the San Mateo police
chief; the San Mateo City Council (5-0); the
administration, faculty and students of San
Mateo High School; as well as the surrounding
neighborhood.
There is also an elementary school loaded
with highly impressionable young students
within 300 yards of the proposed location. If
all this is true, what makes the San Mateo
Union High School District Board of Trustees,
as a group of supposedly intelligent adults,
think this is a reasonable location?

Oscar for Worst Whiner
Editor,
Now that the economy is on the upswing,
jobs are being created, the decit is being
reduced year after year, and the stock market
sets an all-time high, all in sharp contrast to the
destructive Bush period, how far do the Obama
haters have to go to nd something, anything,
to complain about? J.G. Millers letter, Oscar
nale, in the March 6 edition).
While patriotic Americans and foreigners
alike were delighted to see rst lady Michelle
Obama announce the Oscar for Best picture,
she is being viciously attacked by some hate
mongers and accused of having muscled in
on someone elses performance. How gullible
and ill informed do you have to be to believe
such nonsense? First of all, it is a no-brainer
that Michelle Obama was asked to do the
Oscar honors, and with her usual good sports-
manship, she agreed and made all of us proud
of her stunning appearance, with the exception
of those scraping the bottom of the barrel to
nd something to criticize.
Judging from the media around the world,
there is no doubt that her part was seen as a
nice touch by such an accomplished, intelli-
gent and well-educated role model, a patri-
otic contribution to a positive image of the
United States, and very appropriate when
historically significant movies like Argo,
Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty were in
contention for Best Picture.
And why shouldnt the Obama administra-
tion respond positively and help promote an
industry so important both for jobs and the
overall economy, not to mention the social
value of entertainment and education? The
movie industry contributes hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars a year to the trade balance, a
most welcome infusion to the economy.
Argo alone has brought in $85 million from
abroad, so far.
So, the Oscar for Worst Whiner goes to ...
J.G. Miller!

Give TPP the coverage it deserves
Editor,
Next week, U.S. negotiators will be working
behind closed doors in Singapore on a massive
agreement called the Trans-Pacic Partnership
(TPP) that would offshore millions of
American jobs and ood us with unsafe
imported food.
Like NAFTA and the WTO, it places com-
mercial interests rights above national sover-
eignty. This is why recent leaks reveal that
most of the 29 parts of the TPP have little to
do with trade and rather would impose limits
on government health, safety, labor and envi-
ronmental standards while granting new rights
and powers to large corporations.
Heres the kind of outrages well expect to
see more of: a Canadian company has found
gold at the headwaters of the Lempa River in
El Salvador. That country is resisting pressure
for mining operations, because the river sup-
plies half the countrys drinking water. The
mining company is allowed to sue the little
country for billions in lost prots for forbid-
ding it.

Left-hand turns
Editor,
As a long overdue follow-up to my previous
concerns, it is clear that many motorists are
violating the no left turn sign near my resi-
dence at the corner of Bellevue and Lorton
avenues.
Every day, drivers ignore the rule of the road
and turn left onto Lorton Avenue. In my esti-
mate, four of 10 cars violate the city law each
day.
This is an unsafe situation and requires a
collaborative effort to x it. One revenue-gen-
erating idea is to put up a camera to ticket the
violators.
I look forward to a proactive response on
this safety matter.

Firearmfictions
Editor,
Firearm facts. AR 15 means
ArmaLite 15, not automatic rifle or
assault rifle. Colt firearms bought the
rights to make it, but kept the name.
Assault bullets dont exist. Bullets come in
various shapes, lengths, weights and designs
for specic purposes travel farther, cut
paper cleanly, expand for hunting, for self-
defense but no company makes an assault
bullet.
Assault rie is a specic term. You cant
buy one. Its a rie that has capabilities of r-
ing bursts of bullets with one trigger pull,
and/or discharging all bullets with one trigger
pull (machine gun). Theyve been and are vir-
tually impossible to own since 1934. Firing
one bullet with each pull is what civilian guns
do, be they revolvers, pistols, ries or shot-
guns.
Assault weapons was a term coined by
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein in 1994. She
presently wants to include in the term any
semi-automatic rearm that has a detachable
clip. Virtually all do. Semi-automatic shotguns,
pistols and ries are civilian guns one pull,
one bullet, legal since 1885. Her ban can
include the majority of rearms made more
than 90 percent of them have detachable clips,
even some shotguns do.
Paraphrasing Vice President Joe Biden: re
a couple of blasts in the air from the porch
with a double barrel shotgun thats all any-
one needs for protection easier to aim/shoot
than an AR15. Multiple YouTube videos
patently disprove this. Now, Mr. Vice
President, two shots and your wife has an
empty gun, an expensive club.

Lance Armstrong
Editor,
So even little-known grandmother colum-
nists at small local papers are getting in on
Lance Armstrong bashing, as Dorothy Dimitre
did in the Feb. 20 edition of the Daily Journal.
I am neither now nor ever was a real Lance
fan. But I admired him as a superb cyclist. I
still do. He was among the very best and
found himself in a sport that was permeated by
drugs, probably has been for decades. (Every
person who ever nished second behind him at
the tour plus the winners for years before and
after have all been found guilty or admitted to
doping.) So he was faced with the choice of
using dope and being able to win, or not using
and always losing to weaker riders. His choice
was not very honorable, but how many of us
would have done differently? Persecuting rid-
ers of ten years back for using dope will not
clean up the sport why not go back to
Fausto Coppi in the 40s or investigate the
great Eddie Mercx of the 70s? The sport is
being cleaned up now by better testing and
focusing on current riders, not past champions.
Lance is being persecuted because he denied
and covered up more than others. He has
proven to be an arrogant, conceited and
intensely competitive person. He always was.
But when he was a top champion, we all loved
and admired him.
What does that make us and the Dorothy
Dimitres who howl for his scalp? Shallow hyp-
ocrites at best.

Sequestration and
the average person
The Sun Journal, Lewiston, Maine
T
o hear President Barack Obama tell it,
we should begin feeling something
like the apocalypse.
Sorry, Mr. President, but most of us have
already shrugged our shoulders. We have
become so accustomed to near-misses, last-
minute deals and cans being kicked down the
road that we dont get very excited anymore.
You say the rest rooms wont work at
Acadia, some federal workers will work four
days rather than ve and an aircraft carrier is
stuck in Norfolk?
Yeah, whatever.
The federal sequestration that went into
effect March 1 cuts $85 billion from this years
$3.6 trillion budget, or about 2.3 percent.
But it is very difcult for the average person
to determine what that means, and politicians
arent making it any easier.
Obama has been barnstorming the country
predicting that the brutal cuts will eviscer-
ate government programs.
Republicans, meanwhile, point out that fed-
eral spending has increased 17 percent since
the president rst took ofce and even after the
cuts the government will spend more than it
did the year before.
Indeed, these cuts will only slow the growth
of the federal debt, not reduce it.
The biggest problem with sequestration isnt
what it does, but what it fails to do: restructure
entitlements and taxes.
Ultimately, the Democratic administration
will try to make the sequestration cuts as
painful and obvious to the public as possible.
Republicans, meanwhile, will minimize the
impact and blame Democrats for any disloca-
tions that result.
The rest of us, weary of lurching from one
disaster to another, will watch with resignation
and disdain as our broken Congress continues
to ounder.
An economic lesson
from young adults
The Oregonian, Portland
A
fter a series of reprieves and delays,
Sequester Day arrived. While
President Barack Obama and con-
gressional leaders ponder the possibilities ...
they should spend a little time thinking about a
recent Pew Research Center report on house-
hold debt.
Americans have done a much better job of
reducing debt than the U.S. government has.
And one group, adults age 18 through 35, has
done a spectacular job reducing median
debt by 29 percent from 2007 to 2010. The
median household amount of student debt
among young adults even decreased slightly.
Of course, taxpayers have lower limits on
their credit cards than the federal government
does, forcing them to balance budgets sooner
rather than later. And some of the reasons for
reduced household debt are negative: If you
lose your home through foreclosure, it erases a
big chunk of debt.
But the Pew report reveals some positive
trends that have implications for elected of-
cials. An increasing number of young adults
are showing discipline and avoiding big-ticket
purchases they cant afford, in particular cars
and homes.
For some the decision to avoid these pur-
chases is a matter of necessity. For others it
reects the emergence of options that didnt
exist for previous generations. In cities like
Portland, its feasible to get around with a
combination of mass transit and car-sharing
services. Collapse of the housing market has
made renting a more economically attractive
option to home ownership than it was in the
recent past. And renting will become even
more attractive if lawmakers roll back the
mortgage-interest deduction.
If the White House and Congress, likewise,
could cast aside long-held economic biases
and work on a new plan suited to todays
needs their meetings might produce positive
results instead of increased animosity.

NEW YORK A burst of hiring in
February pushed stocks higher on Wall
Street.
The Dow Jones industrial average
gained 67.58 points, or 0.5 percent, to
14,397.07. The index surpassed its previ-
ous record close Tuesday and logged a
sixth straight increase Friday.
The Standard & Poors 500 index rose
6.92 points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,551.18.
The Nasdaq composite advanced 12.28
points, or 0.4 percent, to 3,244.37.
U.S. employers added 236,000 jobs last
month and the unemployment rate fell to
7.7 percent from 7.9 percent in January,
the Labor Department reported. Thats far
better than the 156,000 job gains and
unemployment rate of 7.8 percent that
economists surveyed by FactSet expect-
ed.
The strong job growth shows that
employers are condent about the econo-
my despite higher taxes and government
spending cuts.
Optimism that hiring is picking up has
been one of the factors bolstering the
stock market this year. Stocks have also
gained on evidence that the housing mar-
ket is recovering and company earnings
continue to growing.
Stocks have also been boosted by con-
tinuing economic stimulus from the
Federal Reserve.
The U.S. central bank began buying
bonds in January 2009 and is still pur-
chasing $85 billion each month in
Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed
securities. That has kept interest rates
near historic lows, reducing borrowing
costs and encouraging investors to move
money out of conservative investments
like bonds and into stocks.
Investors have also been pondering
what the Feds next move will be. That
question was in especially sharp focus
Friday after the government reported the
surge in hiring last month.
Andres Garcia-Amaya at JPMorgan
Asset Management said that the strong
jobs report may heighten speculation that
the Fed will end its stimulus sooner than
investors had anticipated, which would be
a negative for the stock market.
If the economy maintains or increases
the pace of job creation ... that could
change the Feds stance, said Garcia-
Amaya. That could mean that the Fed
could take the punch bowl away.
The Dow has gained 9.9 percent this
year and is trading at record levels, hav-
ing broken its previous record of 14,164
on Tuesday. The Standard & Poors 500
index is up 8.8 percent since the start of
the year, and is less than 1 percent short
of its all-time high close of 1,565 set Oct.
9, 2007.
The stock market is drawing in more
investors as it continues to surge.
Investors put $3.2 billion into stock
mutual funds in the week ending
Wednesday, data provider Lipper report-
ed Friday. Thats the ninth straight week
of net inows to stock funds, bringing
this years total to $59 billion.
Fridays jobs report strengthens the
case of stock market bulls, who say the
economy is gaining momentum follow-
ing a long and tepid recovery after the
nancial crisis and Great Recession, said
JJ Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist at
TD Ameritrade.
It gives hope to those that say this rally
isnt just about the Fed, its about the
economy recovering, said Kinahan. Its
giving people condence that maybe the
economy is turning the corner.
The Dow is up 120 percent since reach-
ing a 12-year low during The Great
Recession. The index bottomed out
almost exactly four years ago, on March
9, 2009, at 6,547.

WASHINGTON As President Barack
Obama and lawmakers spar over huge federal
decits, theyre confronted by a classic con-
tradiction: Most Americans want government
austerity, a survey shows, but they also want
increased spending on a host of popular pro-
grams: education, crime ghting, health care,
Social Security, the environment and more.
Less for defense, space and foreign aid.
The newly released General Social Survey
asked people whether they believe spending
in specic categories is too much, too lit-
tle or about right. It covers the publics
shifting priorities from 1973, when Richard
Nixon was president, through 2012 with
Obama in the White House.
Despite a dislike of taxes, more people
have always favored increases in spending
than cuts, wrote the surveys director, Tom
W. Smith, of the independent research organ-
ization NORC at the University of Chicago.
While peoples priorities shift over the
years, theyve not changed on one category.
Foreign aid has been stuck rmly in last place
since the survey began. Last year, 65 percent
of those surveyed thought there was too
much, 25 percent checked about right and
a slim 11 percent said too little. The num-
bers are not much changed from 1973
when 73 percent said too much on foreign aid,
22 percent just right and 5 percent too little.
Various polls have consistently shown the
public believes foreign aid is a far bigger slice
of the spending pie than it actually is.
Foreign aid amounts to loose change, hov-
ering for years at 1 percent or less of the fed-
eral budget, compared with defense spending
and entitlement programs like Social
Security and Medicare. Those are among the
biggest decit drivers and a focal point in
Washingtons recent budget debates. The sur-
vey shows the public is largely opposed to
cuts in entitlement programs but tilts toward
cuts in the defense budget.
To reach all these conclusions, Smith
devised an index that boils down his ndings
to a single number for each category. If every-
one favored more spending for a given pro-
gram area, the maximum score would be
+100; and if everyone wanted less spending,
the score would be a negative number, -100.
On this scale, top-ranked improving edu-
cation in 2012 scored +68.4 while bottom-
rated foreign aid scored a -60.4.
Support for defense spending has swung
back and forth between negative and positive
over four decades. It posted a -28.4 in 1973
near the end of the politically divisive
Vietnam War, turned positive in 1978 and
peaked at +48.9 in 1980. It returned to nega-
tive territory from 1983 to 2000. But after the
Sept. 11, 2001, terrorism attacks and the start
of the war in Afghanistan, support for more
defense spending again went positive
through 2004. But it turned negative again as
U.S. military involvement in Iraq increased
and has been negative ever since.
Conversely, Social Security has always
been in positive territory. Most people have
favored increased spending on this program
since the mid-80s, with the exception of 1993
and 1994.
Survey: Many conflicted on government spending cuts

NEW YORK McDonalds new Fish
McBites failed to hook enough diners to get
the fast-food chains U.S. sales growing in
February.
The worlds biggest hamburger chain said
Friday that a key sales gure was down 3.3
percent in the U.S. for the month. When
excluding the extra day of sales for February
of last year, which was a leap year, the com-
pany said the gure was at. That was despite
the rollout of the Fish McBites nuggets in
three sizes, which were also offered as the rst
new Happy Meal entree in a decade.
The struggle to grow at home reects the
mounting pressures on McDonalds, which
had managed to pull away from its rivals and
thrive even during the Great Recession.
Now the Oak Brook, Ill.-based chain is fac-
ing a rapidly shifting industry, with chains
such as Chipotle and Panera reshaping cus-
tomers expectations about fast food. An
increase in payroll taxes that took effect in
January isnt helping.
Long-time competitors such as Burger
King, Taco Bell and Wendys are also revamp-
ing their menus and stepping up advertising.
Making matters worse, McDonalds CEO Don
Thompson, who took the helm this summer,
has said that he expects overall growth in the
industry will continue to be at to down for
some time.
In response, McDonalds is playing up its
Dollar Menu to attract budget-conscious din-
ers, a strategy some analysts have questioned
because it could hurt prot margins. The chain
is also increasing its limited-time offers as a
way to keep its menu fresh.
Notably, McDonalds also has a high bar to
meet because of its past success; U.S. sales
rose 11.1 percent in February of last year and
2.7 percent in 2011.
In light of those tough comparisons, R.W.
Baird analyst David Tarantino said
McDonalds U.S. results were respectable.
He also noted that the broader industry
remains pressured by other factors, such as
higher payroll taxes and gas prices.
Results in other parts of the world were
mixed. Globally, McDonalds said sales at
established restaurants fell 1.5 percent for the
month.
Fish McBites fail to spark McDonalds sales

WASHINGTON The head of Delta Air
Lines on Friday joined the growing opposition
to the Transportation Security Administrations
new policy allowing passengers to carry small
knives onto planes.
Delta CEO Richard Anderson said in a letter
to TSA Administrator John Pistole that he
shares the legitimate concerns of the airlines
ight attendants about the new policy.
Allowing small knives to be carried on board
after a ban of more than 11 years will add lit-
tle value to the customer security process ow
in relation to the additional risk for our cabin
staff and customers, Anderson said in the let-
ter, which was obtained by the Associated
Press.
If the purpose is to increase security check-
point ow, there are much more effective steps
we can take together to streamline the security
checkpoints with risk-based screening mecha-
nisms, he said.
Delta, based in Atlanta, is the worlds sec-
ond-largest airline. It is the rst major airline to
join not only ight attendants but pilots, feder-
al air marshals and insurance companies in a
burgeoning backlash to the policy. Pistole
announced the policy on Tuesday.
TSA spokesman David Castelveter declined to
comment on the letter. He said TSA plans to
implement the policy on April 25 as scheduled.

Google to pay $7M to settle Wi-Fi case
SAN FRANCISCO Google will pay a $7
million penalty to settle a multistate investiga-
tion into the Internet search leaders collection

A person familiar with the matter says the

Four Menlo wrestlers named All-American
Early signs: Ocean battle-tested
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
There is one thing all eight base-
ball teams that make the Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division
have in common so far: Theyve all
taken more than their fair share of
lumps.
A little more than a handful of
games into the season, no team has
a winning record and a couple are
still looking for win number one.
But, in all fairness, thats to be
expected with the Ocean forced to
ll their schedules with tough com-
petition against a member of the
PAL Bay Division, or a West
Catholic Athletic League power-
house, or venture into the typically
weaker San Francisco talent pool
a true feast or famine when it comes
to scheduling.
What were left with to evaluate
are numbers and schedules that give
very little actual insight into what
we should expect once the Ocean
starts going head to head with each
other, forcing those who wish to
know how the league will shape up
to dig a little deeper.
Aragon High Schools inux of
talent from a frosh/soph team that
won the Ocean Division last year
left the 2013 version of the division
with a bit of an anomaly. Both
champions, Woodside and Sequoia
high schools, return to defend their
title and that usually isnt the
case. The Wildcats and Cherokees
are off to a combined 1-9 start in
their non-league schedules.
Between the two, Sequoia might
be the team most likely to repeat
and thats based mostly on returning
experience. Consider that the
Wildcats were so senior-heavy en
route to an 11-3 league mark that
only 144 of their 696 plate appear-
ances were taken by non-seniors.
This year, 133 of those plate appear-
ances return.
The Wildcats are 1-6 to begin the
year, but they have some interesting

Get your mind right. Have a good
attitude.
Menlo College 165-pound
wrestler Eric Lopez went into the
National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics champi-
onships repeating those two things
to himself over and over again.
I was little nervous at the tourna-
ment, but Im fortunate enough to
have a good coaching staff, Lopez
said. My head coach, he just kept
telling me to take it round by round
and wrestle like you know how to. I
just embraced it. I embraced being
at the national tournament because
not a lot of people get to go there. It
was a pretty intense tournament.
As it turned out, it was also a very
successful tournament for the Oaks
wrestling program. A second place
national nish by Lopez spearhead-
ed four Menlo All-American efforts
last week in Idaho. The strong
showing at the national champi-
onships by ve competing Menlo
wrestlers earned the team a top-10
nish overall.
Menlo nished with 41.5 points,
good for 10th place out of the 37
teams in the tournament.
I was more happy than sur-
prised, Lopez said of his showing
at nationals. He entered the tourna-
ment ranked 16th nationally but
Weather ends Giants vs. Dodgers game
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Los
Angeles left-hander Ted Lilly would
have liked to pitch to defending NL
MVP Buster Posey. The weather just
would not cooperate Friday.
Once the hail came down in
earnest, Posey didnt even wait for
the umpires, he walked out of the bat-
ters box.
Those are the things you need,
Lilly said after recording two outs
before heavy rain and hail ended the
proceedings. I wanted to pitch to
Posey with a guy on second, when
you need to make a quality pitch to a
good hitter.
The game was stopped in the bot-
tom of the second with Los Angeles
up 4-0.
Lilly, who said hes completely
over his shoulder problems, thought
he might pitch again in four days.
Lillys season ended last May due
to left shoulder inammation.
Im not even thinking that way,
Lilly said. Im trying to get myself
in the best pitching condition possi-
ble so that I can pitch the way I am
capable.

DORAL, Fla. Tiger Woods struggled on
the practice range, and he didnt feel much
better two holes into his second round Friday
at the Cadillac Championship. He would not
have guessed this would be the day to set a
personal record for birdies, much less wind up
with a two-shot lead.
All I need is one shot,
he said. And as soon as I
feel it on one, I can pretty
much carry through. And I
did that today.
It was a 4-iron on the
par-3 fourth hole, the
toughest on the Blue
Monster.
Woods hit a bullet with
a slight fade at the left
edge of the green and heard the crowd cheer
as the slope and the grain took the ball to
within 4 feet for birdie.
And just like that, he was on his way.
In a World Golf Championship with the
biggest names in the hunt, Woods ran off six
birdies in an eight-hole stretch around the turn
in a clean, crisp exhibition. That sent him to a
7-under 65 and a two-shot lead over former
U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell.
Woods has made 17 birdies in two rounds,
his most ever on the PGA Tour, though that
wasnt the most important number.
It left me a two-shot lead, Woods said.
He was at 13-under 131, his lowest 36-hole
score on tour since the 2009 AT&T National.
Woods followed that 4-iron with a wedge he
stuffed to inside 2 feet. He added a collection
of 10- to 15-foot birdie putts, and ended his
big run with another 4-iron with a totally dif-
ferent shape, this one high and soft to 15 feet
on the 224-yard 13th hole. Those par 3s
ranked as the two toughest at Doral on Friday,
and he birdied them both.
A birdie-birdie nish by McDowell gave
him a 67 and prevented a dream nal group
for the weekend at Doral Woods and long-
time nemesis Phil Mickelson.
Mickelson, sparked by a visit to Augusta
National earlier in the week, hit a 9-iron that
stopped inches from dropping for a hole-in-
one on the par-3 ninth. He had a 67 and was
three shots behind, along with Steve Stricker
(67).
Rory McIlroy showed signs of turning the
corner with a 69, although he ended with a
sloppy three-putt bogey. It was his rst round
under par this year, a small consolation for the
worlds No. 1 player. He was still 11 shots
behind Woods.
Woods, who once owned these WGCs, has
not won the last 10 hes played. But after a key
putting tip from Stricker on Wednesday after-
noon, Woods looks as comfortable as ever on
a Blue Monster course where he has won
three times.
Its going to be tough to catch him,
Stricker said. We all know when he gets out
in front, hes tough to catch and tough to beat.
Looks like hes playing well. Looks like all
parts of his game are working. Yeah, hes
going to be tough to catch.
The toughest part of the weekend might be
the Blue Monster.
The greens already are rm and crusty
under a week of sunshine and dry air. Woods,
McDowell and most everyone else expects it
to only get worse.
I guess they can let this place go since
theyre going to tear it up on Monday,
McDowell said.
More birdies for Tiger, lead at Doral
Tiger Woods
PHOENIX Mercy, look whos off to a 2-
0 start at the World Baseball Classic.
Italy, which had never won more than a
game in either of the two previous Classics,
followed its come-from-behind win over
Mexico on Thursday night with a 14-4 thump-
ing of Canada on Friday to go to 2-0 in Group
D competition before the United States had
even played a game.
Chris Colabello drove in four runs with four
hits, including a three-run homer, to lead the
rout.
Italy scored eight runs after Canada cut the
lead to 6-4 in the top of the seventh.
The game was called under the tourna-
ments mercy rule after Italy scored ve
times in the eighth to make it a 10-run game.
My No. 1 goal coming here and joining
these guys was to be able to get a couple ws
and see how far we could go, Colabello said.
All personal stuff aside, its such an unselsh
group.
The Italian team plays the United States on
Saturday night. Canada (0-1) plays Mexico
Saturday afternoon.
Italy has not clinched a trip to the second
round, but its certainly in very good shape,
especially since a three-team tie would be
decided by a formula that relies, essentially,
on total runs scored vs. runs allowed.

PEORIA, Ariz. Josh Donaldson arrived
with his Oakland Athletics teammates for
Fridays spring training game against the
Seattle Mariners with his equipment bag but
not his customary No. 20 jersey.
Furnished with a temporary top with No.
98, Donaldson broke out of an 0-for-15 slump
with a pair of long home runs as Oaklands
game against Seattle was rained out in the top
of the fourth inning with the Athletics ahead
12-1 Friday.
The last couple of days Ive been working
on a couple of things in the cage, and the
biggest thing for me is just getting comfort-
able in the box, Donaldson said. I was able
to get pretty comfortable and get a couple of
good pitches to hit.
Donaldson hit a two-run homer and a solo
shot. Seth Smith and Michael Choice also hit
two-run homers for the As, and Shane
Peterson had a solo drive.
None of the stats count because the game
wasnt ofcial.
Everybody had good at-bats, certainly
Donaldson, Oakland manager Bob Melvin
said. I dont care if the wind was blowing in
or out. They were going out anyway.
Donaldson was asked whether hell keep
the No. 98.
Well, I mean, everybody seems to want it
to, I dont know, Donaldson said. I dont
know if it was the number or not, but I might
give it another chance. Well see.
Donaldson had one hit in his rst 20 spring
training at-bats coming in.
As Donaldson breaks out of slump
turned that ranking upside down with his
finish. I was expecting to be in the finals. I
expected to do well. I had a bad tournament
two weeks before and that kind of set me
back a little bit. But coach helped me get my
mind right. I knew I was just as good as
those guys. Its just, mentally, you have to
come prepared and in that tournament I did.
After a 3-0 first day, Lopez won his semi-
final match 7-5 to start Day 2 and become
the only Oaks wrestler to enter the champi-
onship round. Lopez met Jimmie Schuessler
of Grand View in an exciting conclusion to
his season. Schuessler and Lopez battled it
out and were tied with just 18 seconds left in
the match. Schuessler was able to score a
point with just under 18 seconds remaining
to earn the 4-3 decision and claim the
national championship title.
You definitively have to have a good
mind-set when you go into the tournament.
Were all so close talent-wise and physical
stature, it can go either way. Its just the guy
who has the better mind-set, Lopez said.
Menlo boasts an additional three All-
Americans.
Angel Garcia was the lone senior to place
in the top six for Menlo at the NAIAs.
Garcia entered the tournament as the No. 2
ranked wrestler at 133 pounds and finished
third in the tournament after an 11-3 victory.
Garcia earned All-American status for the
second consecutive year.
He went in there with the right mind-set,
Lopez said. He wrestled tough.
Like Lopez, Scott Brasil is a sophomore
who finished the season ranked as the No. 5
wrestler in the 285-pound division. Brasil
finished sixth overall at the NAIAs after bat-
tling back from a shoulder injury that took
away half his season.
Jose Chacon was the only Menlo wrestler
to earn NAIA Daktronics Academic All-
American status for the 2012-13 season.
Chacon is a senior who also qualified and
wrestled at the national championships.
Hes a good role model, Lopez said. He
doesnt just put the work in the wrestling, he
puts it in the academics.
The top-10 finish at nationals concludes
yet another successful season for the Menlo
Oaks wrestling team, who also finished No.
15 in the final NAIA coaches poll released
in February.
The key to my success there was, well, I
chalk it up to a good coaching staff, Lopez
said. The whole time my coaches told me
the people that do well at the national tour-
nament are the guys with good attitudes.
Thats how I took it. Im happy to be here.
Im going to make the best of it.

MENLO ATHLETICS
Eric Lopez, top, Jose Chacon, left, and Angel Garcia of Menlo College wrestling helped the
Oaks to a top-10 nish at the NAIANational Championship in Idaho last weekend.
needed to be aggressive.
Brandon led a balanced scoring attack for
the Golden Bears, who clinched a share of
their rst conference title in school history last
Saturday with a win over Washington.
Afure Jemerigbe and Brittany Boyd both
added 15 as California (28-2) won its 16th
straight. The 28 wins are a single-season
school record.
USC reached the quarters by knocking off
Oregon State in the opening round on
Thursday, but the Trojans couldnt be compet-
itive against the Golden Bears for a third time
this season.
USC took California to overtime in
Berkeley in January before the Bears pulled
out a 71-63 win.
A month later in Los Angeles, the Trojans
rallied in the second half but fell short in a 72-
64 loss.
Harberts led USC (11-20) with 24 points,
but this time the Trojans were playing catch
up from the start.
They were committed to showing us they
were the tougher team, USC coach Michael
Cooper said.
California dominated most of the rst half,
holding USC to 27 percent shooting and forc-
ing 10 turnovers, which the Bears turned into
14 points.
California led by as many as 21, but the
Trojans scored eight of the nal 10 points of
the half to get within 15, a decit that could
have been less had USC not missed its nal
four shots of the half. California had 11 offen-
sive rebounds in the rst half while USC had
16 total rebounds.
The Bears started the second half on a 10-4
run and were never threatened.

John Mahoney appears to be the front-run-
ner as the new Wildcats ace with 136 of 140
innings lost to graduation. Mahoney already
has a superb outing against Menlo School
under his belt. Players like Bradley Degnan
and Jordan Benavides (.296 combined aver-
age in 2012) will be looked upon in leadership
roles on a team that has just as many seniors
(2) as freshman.
Sequoias biggest hole to ll is in the pitch-
ing department with the Ocean Division
Pitcher of the Year lost to graduation.
But the Cherokees have much more experi-
ence coming back. Theyll be led by All-
League designated hitter Laim Clifford, who
hit .385 last season. Sequoia is off to an 0-3
start and is looking at players like Jeremy
McIntyre, Eli Dugan and Jeremy Crowell to
carry the team once league play rolls around.
Cameron Greenough will be huge off the
mound, too.
For the rest of the Ocean pack, its a matter
of making sense of a combined 6-22 mark.
El Camino moves down from the Bay
Division and is off to a 2-4 start with close
losses to the likes of SHP, Menlo-Atherton
and Aragon (by just a combined six runs).
Theyve already had a peek at Ocean compe-
tition when they beat Woodside 5-0 at the
Menlo tournament.
On the mound, Josh Eclavea looked impres-
sive in a game against Aragon. Look for
Dominic Aparicio and Paul Cormican to com-
plement him on the bump. Offensively, it
appears Harley Towes (.444 batting average)
and Steven Pastora (.421, 6 RBIs) have picked
up the early load. But keep an eye on
Emiliano Rios (.368), returning All-League
honorable mention player.
It looks like youll be able to put South City
in the same contender conversation. The
Warriors are 2-3 in non-league play so far
but their most telling games are not the two
San Francisco wins, but their two Bay
Division losses by a combined 28-8 score. All
in all, it looks like the Warriors are beating up
on the teams they should.
Big for South City is the play of Andrew
Pelzl, whos already hitting .375 with six
RBIs after hitting .152 a year ago. Keep an
eye out for sophomore phenom Daniel Perez
at the dish and on the mound. Hes hitting
.368, ve RBIs and has allowed just four
earned runs in his pitching appearances.
Put a star next to Warrior players Josue
Rangal and Tyler Keahi as well.
It appears Ocean fans get their daily dose of
heartbreak when evaluating the Daly City
teams from year to year. But Jefferson has
already reached half of their entire win total
from last year a season in which the
Indians were outscored 269-56 and had nary
an All-League mention. Theyll be looking to
just compete and have 2013 wins against
Mission of San Francisco and KIPP King of
San Lorenzo.
Westmoor is a complete mystery as well
with online records showing the Rams have
only played one game in 2013 a 10-3 loss
to Capuchino.
Finally, there is Mills and San Mateo high
schools who are still looking for win number
one in 2013 at combined 0-10.
Theres plenty to suggest that the Bearcats
record wont stay and an 0-for.
Offensively, San Mateo is still nding its
stroke. Theyre hitting .128 as a team with no
player hitting over .286 on the young year.
But there are close games on the programs
record against Capuchino and the WCALs St.
Ignatius that suggest the Bearcats will com-
pete in Ocean play.
Theyll need a whole of Taylor Sanft on the
mound and on the dish. Hes one of the few on
the team that return with any varsity pitching
experience and it appears hell be joined by
Spencer King and Alejandro Meza, who went
3-4 last year in 13 appearances with a 3.00
ERA (nine starts). Also, keep an eye out for a
young player by the name of Sergio Noriega,
whos seeing some playing time in non-league
play and is putting up some numbers.
Up at Mills, the Vikings have had to tough-
en up against Bay Division opponents and the
lumps have come to the tune of an average of
10-1 scores a 2-0 loss to Burlingame looks
promising though.
Gone is the Ocean Player of the Year, Brian
Hidalgo. So Mills is looking to replace him
with the likes of Sean McHugh (.310 so far in
2013). Aram Moshkouians experience will be
huge for the Vikings and so will the contribu-
tion of William Chen and Kyle Vallans.
OCEAN
Matt Kemp is also recovering from shoulder
injury and says he has no issues.
I just have to go out there and let it go,
Kemp said. Its like any normal spring train-
ing. It was my eighth at bat. I need to see
pitches and nd my rhythm. I have 24 days to
nd my rhythm and even if I dont have it by
Opening Day, I know I will nd it way before
the season is over.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy expressed
concern about closer Sergio Romo, who threw
26 pitches in Team Mexicos 6-5 loss to Italy
in an opening round game of the World
Baseball Classic on Thursday night. Because
he did not reach 30 pitches, he was eligible to
pitch again Friday.
If youre going to go that way, youre bet-
ter off throwing four more pitches, Bochy
said. The rules are established to protect
these pitchers. You cant blame Mexico
because they will be ghting for their lives
and they want to win.
Romo clearly labored in his one inning stint,
going to a full count three times and giving up
the go-ahead runs.
Hopefully you trust them to be honest,
Bochy said. Its a little frustrating when you
dont know if they are 100 percent honest.
Thats why we checked in with him. We have
a guys career here. He has to understand he
has some responsibility here.

VATICAN CITY The preliminaries over,
Catholic cardinals are ready to get down to
the real business of choosing a pope. And
even without a front-runner, there are indica-
tions they will go into the conclave Tuesday
with a good idea of their top picks.
Then it will be just a matter of agreeing on
one man to lead the church and tackle its
many problems.
The conclave date was set Friday during a
vote by the College of Cardinals, who have
been meeting all week to discuss the churchs
problems and priorities, and the qualities the
successor to Pope Benedict XVI must pos-
sess.
That said, there doesnt appear to be a front-
runner, and the past week of deliberations has
exposed sharp divisions among cardinals
about some of the pressing problems facing
the church, including governance within the
Holy See itself.
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico
Lombardi, said the pre-conclave meetings had
given the cardinals a chance to discuss the
prole, characteristics, qualities and talents
a future pope must have.
Those closed-door deliberations, he said,
provided an opportunity for discussion and
information-gathering so the cardinals could
go into the conclave ready to cast their ballots.
The preparation is absolutely fundamental,
Lombardi said.
Cardinal Sean OMalley, archbishop of
Boston, agreed, noting that without this
weeks meetings the conclave could drag
on.
The preference is to have enough discus-
sions previous so that when people go to the
conclave, they already have a particular idea
of who theyre going to vote for, he told
reporters at a brieng earlier this week.
Then its a matter of consensus-building in
order to reach the two-thirds majority needed
to elect a pope a process that for the past
century has taken no more than a few days.
Benedict himself was elected on the fourth
round of voting in 2005, a day after the con-
clave began one of the fastest papal elec-
tions in recent times. His predecessor, John
Paul II, was chosen following eight ballots
over three days in 1978.
Cardinals set Tuesday as start date for conclave

WASHINGTON Sulaiman Abu Ghaith,
the charismatic al-Qaida spokesman,
fundraiser and son-in-law to Osama bin
Laden, is likely to have a vast trove of knowl-
edge about the terror networks central com-
mand but not much useful information about
current threats or plots, intelligence ofcials
and other experts say.
Abu Ghaith pleaded not
guilty Friday to conspiring
to kill Americans in prop-
aganda videos that warned
of further assaults against
the United States as devas-
tating as the Sept. 11,
2001, attacks on the World
Trade Center and the
Pentagon that killed near-
ly 3,000 people.
Believed to be more of a strategic player in
bin Ladens inner circle than an operational
plotter, Abu Ghaith would be the highest-
ranking al-Qaida gure to stand trial on U.S.
soil since 9/11. Intelligence ofcials say he
may be able to shed new light on al-Qaidas
inner workings concerning al-Qaidas
murky dealings in Iran over the past decade,
for example but probably will have few
details about specic or imminent ongoing
threats.
He gave U.S. ofcials a 22-page statement
after his Feb. 28 arrest in Jordan, according to
prosecutors. They would not describe the
statement.
Bearded and balding, Abu Ghaith said little
during the 15-minute hearing in U.S. District
Court in New York in lower Manhattan just
blocks from Ground Zero and displayed
none of the nger-wagging or strident ora-
tions that marked his propaganda in the days
and months after 9/11.
Bin Laden son-in-law could yield info on al-Qaida
are now ready to move forward with the con-
struction of a temporary re station on the
selected site.
The project, which will be built on
Burlingame-owned land located within the
county jurisdiction, includes a 1,440-square-
foot re house building, 576 square feet of
ofce space and a 2,730-square-foot appara-
tus building to house two full-size re trucks
with drive-through capacities, according to
the staff report. The re house will include a
kitchen, living and dining areas, three bed-
rooms, two individual bathrooms and a small
laundry room. The re station ofces will
include a public lobby, an ofce, data room,
storage room and bathroom. A special permit
will be required for the apparatus building
which will be 32 feet tall, two feet higher than
the 30-foot height limit in the area. The struc-
ture would be there for no more than seven
years. It would have to come back for
approval to become permanent, according to
the staff report.
The land is currently undeveloped with 107
trees. Building the temporary re station will
call for the removal of 28 trees, including 16
that are of a protected size. The conceptual
site plan includes 14, 24-inch box size plants
to be installed.
Dornell said the new site will meet the stan-
dards set in the San Mateo County Pre-hospi-
tal Advanced Life Support Joint Powers
Agreement including having a re engine
with a paramedic on scene of a medical call
within 6 minutes and 59 seconds for 90 per-
cent of the calls for service.
Since the 2011 go-ahead, the plan has been
to run the temporary station for about a year to
collect data that would be shared with city
councils, at which point further consolidation
could be considered.
Six property options were previously put
forward for the possible location of the tem-
porary station with preference given to the
three-acre Skyline site with an estimated
$800,000 cost. The costs cover a temporary
working station with facilities to house equip-
ment and reghters.
Burlingame and Hillsborough merged re
departments to form Central County Fire in
2004. Talk of expanding the shared services to
include Millbrae and San Bruno began in
2007.
Under the consolidation, the four-city
department would have a $25.1 million annu-
al budget with Central County Fire cities cov-
ering 50 percent, San Bruno contributing 30
percent and Millbrae putting in 20 percent.
Projected annual savings for each city ranges
from $95,000 to $595,000. For Millbrae and
Burlingame, estimated to save the most, clos-
ing stations accounts for the majority of the
savings.
The commission meets 7 p.m. Monday,
March 11 at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road.

B
y now, seniors who applied to col-
lege have pretty much heard it all.
Have you heard from anywhere yet?
Did you have your interview? And, of course,
wheres your rst choice? Interestingly
enough, though, Ive only
ever been asked once
about my plans for defer-
ring matriculation, more
colloquially known as
taking a gap year.
My immediate answer
was no. But the fact of
the matter is that I had
never given it much seri-
ous thought, mainly because I had never
known any college-bound seniors in previous
years who chose to do so. To me, the fact
that Ive even had this conversation with one
other peer simply points to a status quo, at
least at Aragon High School, in which imme-
diately beginning higher education is almost
an expectation.
But should it be? A quick Google search
unearthed a slew of material, both in advoca-
cy and opposition. Nearly all acknowledged
that a gap year often takes the edge off of
burnout, leaving students with new energy
and inspiration for resuming their educa-
tion. Many argued that the opportunities to
gain work experience, learn a new skill or
travel abroad for volunteerism afforded stu-
dents the chance to broaden their perspec-
tives and focus their interests.
Still, source after source stressed the need
for thoughtfully planned, well-organized time
to have a fruitful experience; without ade-
quate structure or sufcient forethought, stu-
dents run the risk of squandering time and
money. At the same time, the opportunity
cost of taking a gap year not completing
freshman year of college potentially
leaves students ill-equipped to resume aca-
demic coursework, should they eventually
choose to return to school.

LOS ANGELES A grave
12-year-old African girl,
abducted from her village by
vicious armed rebels and
forced to wage war as a child
soldier, guides the viewer
through the horrors of
Canadian director Kim
Nguyens engrossing Oscar-
nominated drama War
Witch. Managing to be nei-
ther sentimental nor sensa-
tionalistic, the lm tells its
story from the heart, and from
the simple, straightforward
viewpoint of young heroine
Komona, warmly played by
the talented Rachel Mwanza
in her screen debut.
Certainly, watching a little
girl live through events that
far exceed most adults night-
mares is not easy, and only
Komonas indomitable
courage and will to survive

Suspending disbelief is a part of watching
most any action lm, where bullets y like
birds and mayhem explodes as easily as a
shaken soda can. But even in such a contrived
movie world, its asking far too much for us to
accept that Noomi Rapace would be hounded
as a monster for a little scaring around her
left eye.
Its just one of the many
silly leaps of logic taken in
the lifeless Dead Man
Down, a lm that brings
together two lost souls bent
on vengeance. Colin
Farrell stars as a brooding
gangster, Victor, whos
inltrated the brutal gang
of Alphonse (Terrence
Howard) to avenge the
deaths of his wife and daughter. Hes joined in
revenge by Rapaces Beatrice, who spies him
across from a neighboring high-rise, and
blackmails him into killing the drunk driver
that crashed into her.
Ive had pimples worse than the marks left
on Beatrices face, but shes mad with mur-
derous fury at the blemish and despite her
obvious, unmarred beauty is chased by
rock-throwing kids for her supposed disg-
urement. Dead Man Down either cant
stomach having its star actress appear actual-
ly maimed, or its simply too lazy to make
Beatrices motivations plausible.
Its the rst Hollywood lm for Danish
director Niels Arden Oplev, who made the
original The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,
starring Rapace. Dead Man Down starts
with vacant sidewalk musings by Victors
friend and cohort Darcy (Dominic Cooper),
Dead Man Down is lifeless and ludicrous

WEEKEND JOURNAL
The lack of national statistics effectively
limits evaluating the merit of gap years to
isolated studies and anecdotes, although their
growing prevalence was cited by various
institutions. Still, I wonder if data are even
necessary. Yes, lets take the chance to sit
down and have an honest discussion about
what does or doesnt work. But all other
things being equal, the decision to take a gap
year should ultimately depend upon an indi-
viduals unique agenda, in both an academic
and personal sense.
In my case, Im not sure a year off
between high school and college would nec-
essarily amount to a meaningful investment,
and I say this knowing full well some will
counter, You can never know until you try.
To respond, I do agree: there is some guaran-
teed value in what one New York Times blog
post rather bleakly referred to as [b]reaking
up the Cradle to College to Cubicle to
Cemetery Cycle.
Still, this is a conversation I have already
had with, not only my parents and teachers,
but also myself. In one form or another, Ive
considered and discussed most key, long-
term questions, namely What do I want out
of college? And we concluded that a gap
year was not consistent with my answers.
That being said, it was interesting to recog-
nize the different considerations that factor
into planning a gap year. Various organiza-
tions offer formal gap year programs, yet stu-
dents may elect to pursue a more individual-
istic enterprise. Some nd employment while
others apply for unpaid internships.
Budgetary issues inevitably tie in with the
question of staying home or traveling abroad.
They also circle back to formal versus self-
guided programs, especially as some experi-
ences offered by companies come with a
hefty price tag.
In short, wherever graduation will leave
the class of 2013, the chance to pause, refo-

STUDENT
make the journey bearable. As the off-screen
narrator, she tells her unborn baby the story of
how she became a child soldier. The real-life
horrors she recounts fold into a smooth,
dream-like screenplay that doesnt require a
lot of on-screen blood and gore to describe
whats going on. Despite its extreme cruelty,
Komonas story is told with commendable
delicacy and reserve, if those terms can be
applied to such a tale, but in any case circum-
venting the usual voyeuristic, colonialist per-
spective.
The film was shot in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo but the action takes
place in an unnamed African country, where
guerrilla forces lead by youthful warlords
wage constant battle0 on government soldiers
sent into the jungle to kill them. The rebels
replenish their losses by raiding villages.
When Great Tigers rebels descend on the
poor patched-together houses of a coastal vil-
lage, they kill most of the inhabitants and
force the terried Komona to gun down her
own parents; if she doesnt obey, they will kill
them, painfully, with machetes. After per-
forming the fateful act, she is proclaimed a
rebel, thrown into a dugout canoe and taken
deep into the jungle, under the guidance of a
screeching male sorcerer who casts spells
along the way.
Komona and the other kidnapped children
are given huge Kalashnikovs and told, Your
gun is your mother and father. Scared to
death and beaten mercilessly by the head sol-
dier, she is given magic milk, an intoxicant
culled from white tree sap, to ease her pain
and hunger. She is the only one who survives
a government ambush, thanks to her eerie
ability to see eyeless gray ghosts in the trees
who warn her of the enemys presence.
Recognizing the usefulness of her gift, Great
Tiger gives her an AK-47 with magic powers
and names her his war witch. Its a danger-
ous post, should her intuition fail her, but
Komona seems confident of her macabre
visions.
Her only friend in the group is an albino boy
she calls Magician. The crack of rifles
momentarily gives way to some personal hap-
piness when they escape from their captors.
They take shelter in the home of Magicians
uncle, a butcher who has lost his family in a
way so terrible, says Komona, it cannot be
told. When Magician announces to the not
unwilling girl he wants to marry her, she bar-
gains for time by sending him in quest of a
mythical white rooster. This part of the lm
allows a glimpse into normal life, which
surreally seems to co-exist side by side with
the terror in the jungle. The butcher even has
a picture of assassinated Congolese independ-
ence leader and prime minister Patrice
Lumumba, suggesting an overturned world of
legality out there, somewhere. But the only
reality the children know is the barrel of a gun
and the sharp edge of a machete, and their
nightmare is not yet over.
The actors are very spontaneous, particular-
ly self-possessed newcomers Mwanza in the
title role and Serge Kanyinda as the unforget-
table Magician. The camera only has eyes for
them and the adults barely exist as individual
characters. Discreetly following the story
while highlighting its supernatural aspects,
tech work by the Canadian crew strikes the
right note.
The story is underlined by Nguyens excep-
tional and varied choice of contemporary
African music, respectfully setting events in
their own cultural framework, like local sor-
cery and magic. The ghosts who haunt
Komona and threaten her unborn baby are just
as real or unreal as the soldiers who bury trai-
tors alive. The only time the story jumps out
of Africa, be it ever so briey, is when the kids
put down their guns to watch TV and nd
Jean-Claude Van Damme suited up for war in
Universal Soldier Regeneration.

who, while holding his newborn, reects on
how were not meant to be alone. Deep stuff,
indeed.
Alphonse, played with typical velvety suavi-
ty by Howard, is receiving mysterious mes-
sages that read you will realize with frag-
ments of a photograph. Hes starting to panic
by lashing out at his best guesses of the source.
Victor is drawn to Beatrice, who lives alone
with her mother (Isabelle Huppert). The ne
French actress is bizarrely out of place, and her
small role is a bit of awkward farce about her
hearing aid and Tupperware.
The screenplay by J. H. Wyman (Fringe) is
squirm-inducing in its preposterous dialogue
and haphazard plotting. When Victor and
Beatrice go out for dinner (shortly before she
corners him about killing her assailant, a scene
in which she extravagantly spins Victors car
out of control), they describe themselves as if
on a Match.com date. They each admit drink-
ing causes them to swear, and then atly trade
two four-letter expletives. The words would be
better groaned from the audience.
Victor carefully plots the nal, bloody our-
ish of his revenge. But Darcy is closing in on
his real identity, and his growing intimacy with
Beatrice is making Victor, with increasingly
furrowed brows, silently question his mission.
There is some solid noir atmosphere, courtesy
of cinematographer Paul Cameron, but the ten-
sion nally bursts as inelegantly (with a pick-
up ramming into a mansion) as it was it manu-
factured.
The lm was partially nanced by the WWE,
so perhaps its tting that Dead Man Down
should climax with the automotive equivalent
of a body slam.
Dead Man Down, a Film District release,
is rated R for violence, language throughout
and a scene of sexuality. Running time: 118
minutes. One star out of four.
Motion Picture Association of America rat-
ing denition for R: Restricted. Under 17

Bieber resumes tour
after scuffle, health problems
LONDON Its been a rough week for
Justin Bieber: Getting booed for being late,
struggling to breathe mid-performance and
fainting backstage, then caught on camera
clashing with paparazzi.
But the 19-year-old pop sensation appeared
to have recovered Friday for his nal concert
in London, singing and dancing to thousands
of adoring fans at the O2 Arena.
Earlier Friday, the star made headlines
when he got into an altercation with insult-
hurling paparazzi, lashing out at a photogra-
pher with a stream of expletives as he was
restrained by minders.

SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
DEAD METAPHOR HITS
THE BULLS-EYE AT AMERI-
CAN CONSERVATORY THE-
ATER. At rst, recently returned
Middle East War veteran Dean
Trusk has reason to doubt that his
sniper skills (double-digit con-
firmed kills) will allow him a
smooth transition into gainful civil-
ian employment. But it turns out
that Deans specialty is much in
demand with his target audience
and, before long, high-caliber if
morally questionable offers pour in
as Dean learns that he has left one
war zone overseas only to enter
another at home. Will Dean say no
to bundles of cash or will he give his
old career one more shot? George F.
Walkers dark comedy Dead
Metaphor, in its world premiere at
A.C.T.s Geary Theater, draws laugh
after laugh by taking hard punches
at political and social hypocrisies
while the action moves briskly on
Scenic Designer Christopher
Barrecas terrific turntable set.
Directed by Irene Lewis. One hour
and 50 minutes with a 15-minute
intermission.
AN ASIDE:
A.C.T. Artistic Director Carey
Perloff said, I read Dead Metaphor
all in one sitting the rst scene
made me laugh out loud, the second
scene was a shocker and by the third
scene I was totally hooked.
[Playwright] George Walker has an
incredible knack for mining dark
humor out of impossible circum-
stances, deploying a kind of vivid
satire to make us listen to our own
clichs and become aware of our
own hypocrisy. A.C.T. audiences
are in for an outrageous ride and a
vivid glimpse at the underbelly of
modern life and contemporary poli-
tics.
STAGE DIRECTIONS:
A.C.T. is located at 415 Geary St.,
just off Union Square in the heart of
downtown San Francisco. Parking is
available one block away at the
Mason/OFarrell Garage, 325
Mason St. Show your theater ticket

transit: the theatre is a relatively
level four-block walk from the Bart-
Powell Street Station (Market
Street).
TICKETS:

able at act-sf.org or (415) 749-2228.
EXTRA, EXTRA:
Journalist Phil Bronstein, execu-
tive chair of the Board for the
Center for Investigative Reporting,
takes part in a discussion with
A.C.T. Artistic Director Carey
Perloff immediately following the 8
p.m. performance of Dead
Metaphor on Wednesday, March 20.
The discussion will explore issues
raised by Dead Metaphor, including
nationwide unemployment rates
among veterans and the politics of
postwar living. Bronstein will also
discuss his recent investigative
report on the Navy Seal responsible
for killing Osama Bin Laden who
has since had difculty nding a job
back at home. Visit www.act-

ration for his rst poem, Welcome, You
Devil, came from a love letter written
by a girl named Nadia Kaddoura his
rst cousin, once removed. The letter
came with a couple of sexually-sugges-
tive photos, although the letter was
addressed to his siblings, Kaddoura was
well-aware for who those photos were
intended.
Right away I went to the table and I
wrote: Dear Little Devil, Thank you for
your letter and keep in touch,
Kaddoura said.
They had met earlier in his teenage
years, when she was about 5 and playing
in front of his house.
I went to tickle her and she hits me in
my stomach ... since then I (swore) to
never get close to that girl in my life,
Kaddoura said.
When they last met in 1993, she was a
professor at the American University in
Beirut.
While thinking what to do (with my
career), it hits me ... like some natural
force rules me: You have to write this
(poem), he said.
After the trepidation of writing that
rst poem, Kaddoura found it much eas-
ier to work on his other poems.
Between 1991 to 1993, Kaddoura did
not write any poems until a failed mar-
riage arrangement with a woman named
Rajaa Sirhan renewed his creative spark
during the aforementioned trip to Beirut
in 1993.
That event would spark him to write
Zajal poetry a singable form of poet-
ry that Kaddoura equates with rapping.
Born in Dec. 5, 1953 in Baalbek,
Lebanon, Kaddoura is acquainted with
the importance of his hometown the
city is famous for its well-preserved
Greco-Roman ruins, referred to by
locals as The Castle.
He encountered many tourists grow-
ing up in Baalbek, which helped to
spawn his desire to write because of
the open-air theater productions often
taking place at the ruins in the summer.
His family moved to Beirut in 1969
and it was fortuitous for the young
Kaddoura as he was coming into his own
as an 18-year-old.
Mostly I used to like going to movie
theaters ... just so I could sit and listen to
the music broadcasting from the speak-
ers, he said.
Kaddoura joined the French Cultural
Center in the late 1970s, where he rst
got the idea to move to the United States.
According to Kaddoura, someone at
the center told him where his talents
would be best suited.
(With) the way you talk, you cant
live in any place but America,
Kaddoura said.
His poetry often has strong narratives,
especially in his first work, Vision
Beneath Ashes.
(Vision Beneath Ashes), written in
Arabic is the dough to make the bread
(of my following books) ... anybody that
reads this book will know my (manner
of thinking), Kaddoura said.
His third book, My Nickname is
Sesame is an allusion to the way some
poets open the way for others to com-
prehend their concepts.
Each word has its own rose, and each
rose has its own glory, Kaddoura said.
Its own smellers (that its messages res-
onate with).
Alive with Pleasure, by Sami
Kaddoura, is published by Tate
Publishing and Enterprises. The book is
available through bookstores nation-
wide, from the publisher at
www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or
by visiting barnesandnoble.com or ama-
zon.com.
POET
in the original case plus felony charges
of burglary and attempted possession of
child pornography and four misde-
meanor counts each of child annoyance
and disorderly conduct involving loiter-
ing at a rest room in the Daly City inci-
dent. He is also charged with child
annoyance and offering alcohol to a
minor for allegedly harassing four pre-
teens the same day prosecutors say he
took the girl from Parkside Elementary
School in San Mateo.
After entering his plea, Mrozek was
scheduled for jury trial July 29.
Mrozek previously waived a prelimi-
nary hearing on the 19 charges and head-
ed straight to Superior Court.
Prosecutors say Mrozek groped the
girl and covered her mouth with his hand
before carting her off campus just before
2:45 p.m. Sept. 21. A short distance
away, the girl escaped by kicking her
attacker and running back to the school
where she reported the incident, accord-
ing to San Mateo police. Mrozek is also
accused of offering vodka to two 12-
year-old boys; verbally harassing two
girls at Bayside STEM Academy; and
was escorted off the Horrall Elementary
School campus by a suspicious adminis-
trator. Both schools are in San Mateo.
After reading of Mrozeks arrest, an
official at George Washington
Elementary School in Daly City contact-
ed authorities about a March incident in
which four 9-year-old girls reported see-
ing a ash from under the bathroom stall
as they used the facilities. The girls
fetched a teacher who tried forcing the
man from the stall. He nally ran from
the bathroom and ed.
Mrozek faces 25 years to life on two
fronts one for kidnapping to commit
a sexual assault and the other commit-
ting a sexual act with a child under age
10, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Mrozek remains in custody without
bail.

jobs a month. The hiring has been fueled
by steady improvement in housing, auto
sales, manufacturing and corporate prof-
its, along with record-low borrowing
rates.
Job growth was weaker much of last
year. Employers added an average of
154,000 from July through October and
only 132,000 from March through June.
The recovery is gathering momen-
tum, Paul Ashworth, an economist at
Capital Economics, said in a note to
clients.
The gains could boost consumer
spending, adding momentum to the U.S.
recovery and helping troubled
economies in Europe and Asia.
The U.S. economy is forecast to grow
a modest 2 percent this year. Growth will
likely be held back by uncertainty about
the federal budget, higher Social
Security taxes and across-the-board gov-
ernment spending cuts that kicked in
March 1. And unemployment remains
high nearly four years after the end of
the Great Recession. Roughly 12 million
people remain out of work.
The unemployment rate declined in
February from 7.9 percent in January
mostly because more people found
work. Another factor was that 130,000
people without jobs stopped looking for
work last month. The government does-
nt count them as unemployed.
The last time unemployment was
lower was December 2008, when it was
7.3 percent.
The unemployment rate is calculated
from a survey of households. The num-
ber of jobs gained is derived from a sep-
arate survey of employers.
Hiring would be rising even faster if
governments werent shrinking their
workforces, as they have been for nearly
four years. Governments cut 10,000 jobs
in February.
Some $44 billion in spending cuts
kicked in last week after Congress failed
to reach a budget deal. The cuts are
expected to shave about a half-point
from economic growth this year and
lower total hiring by about 30,000 jobs a
month from April through September,
according to Moodys Analytics.
And most workers have had to absorb
higher Social Security taxes this year.
Someone earning $50,000 has about
$1,000 less to spend in 2013. A house-
hold with two high-paid workers has up
to $4,500 less.

saTUrday, MarCH 9, 2013
PisCEs (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Its not a good day
to make last-minute changes on something that
is steadily moving along on a proscribed course.
Instead of making any improvement, you could
derail the entire endeavor.
ariEs (March 21-April 19) -- Although youre pretty
good at convincing people of the rightness of your
case, if you go overboard, you could cause them to
backtrack.
TaUrUs (April 20-May 20) -- This could be one of
those days when you might be able to get a better
deal from a stranger than you could from a friend.
It proves that it sometimes pays to check outside
sources.
GEMini (May 21-June 20) -- Being too indecisive
could severely lessen your chances of achieving
much of anything. Take plenty of time to fgure out
what you want to accomplish.
CanCEr (June 21-July 22) -- If youre not too
discerning about what you want to get done, you
could go off in multiple directions, not knowing
where youre heading or why. Have a goal in mind
for best results.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Disappointment is
inevitable if you set too high a price on some
merchandise and/or service that youre trying to
sell. It isnt likely that youll be able to fnd too many
takers, if any.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You will be held
accountable for any promises or commitments
youve made but havent as yet come through on. Be
ready to pay up, whether youre ready or not.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you dont believe in
yourself or your abilities, you cant expect others to.
Your colleagues will see you only as you see yourself.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An arrangement with
some friends that youre presently contemplating
might not be as terrifc as it appears on the surface.
Look closely before you leap.
saGiTTariUs (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Because of
a strong urge to expedite an important matter,
you could easily do something that would be
counterproductive. Try to forgo any decision-making
for the nonce.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It might take far
more self-discipline than youre able to muster to
complete a tedious assignment. Unfortunately, any
disinterest on your part destroys productivity.
aQUariUs (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Lady Luck is your
buddy at present, but only up to a point. If you begin to
take foolish risks, shes likely to ignore you and instead
favor someone who isnt trying to beat the odds.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Noreen Salley Ahern, aka Noreen
Ahern, aka Noreen S. ahern
Case Number: 123134
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Noreen Salley Ahern,
aka Noreen Ahern, aka Noreen S. Ahern.
A Petition for Probate has been filed by
Spencer Crowl. in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Spenc-
er Crowl. be appointed as personal rep-
resentative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests that the decedents
will and codicils, if any, be admitted to
probate. The will and any codicils are
available for examination in the file kept
by the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: April 8, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. Probate, Superior Court
of California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
