CREWS SEEK SURVIVORS, BODIES AFTER TEXAS BLAST
By Denise Lavoie and Adam Geller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON Plucking a couple of faces in
baseball caps out of a swarming crowd, the
FBI zeroed in on two suspects in the Boston
Marathon bombing and shared surveillance-
camera images of them
with the world
Thursday in hopes the
public will help hunt
them down.
The somewhat blurry
but still detailed photos
and video depict one
young man in a dark
cap and another in a
white cap worn back-
ward, both wearing backpacks and one walk-
ing behind the other on the sidewalk near the
nish line as marathoners run by.
The man in the white hat was seen setting
down a backpack at the site of the second
explosion, said Richard DesLauriers, FBI
agent in charge in Boston.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe is asking
county supervisors to approve rehiring a just-
retired homicide prosecutor to aid in the trial
of William Hamilton Ayres, the former promi-
nent child psychologist whose prosecution for
molesting former patients has stretched over
several trials and led to a formal California
State Bar reprimand of the primary attorney.
On Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors will
consider Wagstaffes request for up to
$83,241.60 to re-employ
former deputy district
attorney Al Giannini as
second chair to prosecutor
Melissa McKowan in the
trial beginning May 13.
The rate is equivalent to
the hourly rate of his for-
mer position, according to
Wagstaffe.
The funds will come
from the already approved budget of the
District Attorneys Ofce.
Giannini retired in
March after 34 years as a
prosecutor in San
Francisco and San Mateo
counties. Giannini
deferred comment on his
proposed return but, in a
report to the Board of
Supervisors, Wagstaffe
said his experience trying
complicated and high-
prole felonies and in jury selection necessi-
tates his participation in Ayres retrial.
The request is not a sign of any lack of faith
in McKowan, Wagstaffe said.
This shows great confidence in her
because we are giving her assistance on the
collateral needs so she can focus on the pres-
entation of evidence, Wagstaffe said.
Ayres, 81, is charged with molesting sever-
al former male patients under the guise of
medical exams between 1988 and 1996
although prosecutors alleged he abused many
more whose cases fell outside the statute of

Leo Padreddii, San Mateo County Harbor
Commission vice president and former South
San Francisco mayor, died Wednesday at the
age of 83.
Padreddii was reportedly hospitalized since
December due to illness and a head injury.
The Harbor Commission has exactly 60
days to ll Padreddiis vacancy or the San
Mateo County Board of Supervisors will do so
after that time is up. If the
commission chooses to
appoint, as it did following
the 2012 death of commis-
sioner Sally Campbell, the
board will issue a request
for applications and con-
duct interviews. The board
could also call for a special
election.

DA offers deal in fatal fire
The San Gregorio father accused of
causing the 2004 house re that killed
his two young sons nearly four years
ago pleaded no contest to involuntary
manslaughter the week of April 19,
2008 after prosecutors conceded they
could not prove beyond a reasonable
doubt the blaze was not caused by any-
thing other than human
hands.
Charles Edward
Schuttloffel, Sr., 37, took
the negotiated plea rather
than stand trial Aug. 28, 2008 on two
counts of rst-degree murder and arson
plus the special allegations of commit-
ting multiple murder and arson causing
murder charges that carried a manda-
tory sentence of life in prison without
parole.
Instead, Schuttloffel faced a maxi-
mum of four years in prison and was to
receive credit for time earned since his
arrest the prior March. Schuttloffel was
in custody on no-bail status since being
taken into custody following a criminal
grand jury indictment.
The afternoon of May 4, 2004,
Schuttloffel called 911 to report his
house on the 900 block of Seaside
School Road was up in ames. The re
burned out after ve hours and the bod-
ies of William Leonard Billy
Schuttloffel, 2, and Charles Edward
Charlie Schuttloffel Jr., 3, were found
inside after the collapsed house.
Schuttloffel allegedly told authorities an
explosion knocked him unconscious and
threw him from the house although
investigators later ruled out the possibil-
ity.
Google shares soar 20
percent, record one-day gain
Google Inc.s stock
soared 20 percent April
18, 2008, restoring $28
billion in shareholder
wealth as Wall Street
renewed its love affair
with the Internet search
leader after weeks of worry about an
online advertising slowdown.
Driven by stellar rst-quarter results
that surprised industry analysts, Google
shares surged $89.87 to finish at
$539.41. It marked the biggest one-day
gain since Googles initial public stock
offering in August 2004, leaving the
shares at their highest closing price
since January 2008.
Google had lost favor with investors
as Web surng data and the faltering
U.S. economy raised concerns that peo-
ple werent clicking as frequently on the
Internet advertising links that generate
most of the Mountain View-based com-
panys revenue.
Apartment rents stabilizing
The price of an apartment in San
Mateo County was stabilizing, it was
reported the week of April 19, 2008,
after months of turmoil that spiked rents
as people left their homes for more
affordable options.
The rst look at the 2008 rental mar-
ket was mostly optimistic with rents
growing at a rate of .4 percent per quar-
ter, according to the RealFacts quarterly
report.
Both Daly City and Belmont had two
of the county's highest apartment occu-
pancy rates with some of the highest
rents. Daly City had a 98.8 percent
occupancy rate with an aver-
age rent of $1,591. Belmont
had a 97.4 occupancy rate
with an average rent of
$1,474, according to
RealFacts.
Students sue over
Belmont school crash
Two of the 13 students injured during
an accident at Ralston Middle School in
2007 led lawsuits naming the driver
who lost control of his car, the city of
Belmont and the school district seeking
compensation for medical expenses and
grief among other things, it was revealed
the week of April 19, 2008.
At approximately 12:30 p.m. May 2,
2007 Redwood City resident Mauro Yan
lost control of his sport-utility vehicle
and plowed into a group of students
waiting to board a SamTrans bus.
The suit, led April 9, 2008, alleged
barriers between the parking lot and stu-
dent loading area would have prevented
the tragedy.

San Bruno Park Elementary School District
will have an appointed trustee ll the vacancy
created when Trustee Skip Henderson exits
May 1.
Last week, Henderson announced plans to
retire from the board after 31 years due to
health issues. On Wednesday, the Board of
Trustees decided to ll the vacancy through a
provisional appointment through the rest of
Hendersons term, which expires in
November, said Superintendent David Hutt.
The vacancy will soon be posted on the dis-
tricts website, local cable television and local
media. To apply, a person must be at least 18,
a San Bruno resident, a registered voter and
not legally disqualied from holding ofce.
Those interested will need to complete a
board candidate information sheet, which is
available by contacting Jennifer Peponis at
624-3111 or at the dis-
tricts website,
s b p s d . k 1 2 . c a . u s / .
Applications are due to the
district ofce no later than
4 p.m. Wednesday, May 8.
A subcommittee of board
President Henry Sanchez
and Vice President Jim
Prescott will verify the
prospective candidates
before interviews will be
conducted in later May.
At the same meeting, the board requested
that the a committee to research surplus prop-
erty, called a 7-11 Committee, be added to the
May 8 agenda as an action item. The group
would look at unused district property, such as
the soon-to-be closed Crestmoor Elementary
School. In addition, it will consider ways to
use the property to generate prot.
This is not the rst time the district has stud-
ied surplus property. Such a committee was
established in late 2004. At the time, the com-
mittee found about 4 acres on the lower eld
area of John Muir Elementary School and
about 5 acres at Portola Elementary School
could be considered surplus. The then closed
Carl Sandburg and Engvall school sites were
also considered surplus.
The former Engvall Middle School site at
Interstate 280 has been leased by VB Golf,
Inc. for a number of years. In 2003, a number
of trustees entertained the idea of developing
a big-box retailer on the site. In 2008, a
developer pitched building single-family
homes and a multi-unit housing component
on the 20-acre site. Neither idea came to
fruition.
The district sold the former Carl Sandburg
site for $30.5 million in 2005. A number of
single-family homes are now on the site.

The San Mateo County Elections Ofce
announced it found 65 provisional ballots from
the November election. Though they would
not change the result, Chief Elections Ofcer
Mark Church said it was unfortunate and com-
pletely unacceptable.
There is simply no excuse for this type of
error in the elections process, Church said.
The importance and signicance of each vote
cannot be understated. It is the cornerstone of
our democracy. While the misplacing of provi-
sional ballots is a rare incident, the misplacing
of even one ballot is shocking and inexcusable
to me as the chief elections ofcer. I am com-
mitted to ensuring that each and every vote
cast by our citizens is accurately processed.
According to the Elections Office, a pre-
liminary review of election night procedures
determined that the provisional ballots from
the Redwood City Voting Center were sealed
in a Red Supply Case (RSC) and delivered to
the Elections Division in San Mateo. The
RSC was then placed in the security vault
and the ballots were transferred to a covered
bin that prevented the ballots from being
seen.
Of the 65 provisional envelopes found, only
35 contained ballots of eligible voters from 30
precincts. The remaining 30 provisional
envelopes were not eligible voters either
because they had already voted in the election
or because they were not registered. The pro-
visional ballots that were found came from the
Redwood City voting center, according to the
Elections Ofce.
Proper steps will be taken to avoid inci-
dents of this nature from ever occurring again.
A thorough review of our Elections procedures
is being conducted, and additional training will
be provided to all elections staff, Church said.
The 65 provisional envelopes will remain
sealed in accordance with Elections Code
Sections 17301 and 17032 requiring election
materials to be stored for 22 months, after
which they will be destroyed, according to the
Elections Ofce.

Craigslist armed robber
faces more than 20 years if convicted
A San Francisco man who allegedly arranged a phony
Craigslist sale in Daly City then robbed the would-be buyer at
gunpoint faces more than 20 years in prison if convicted, San
Mateo Countys district attorney said.
Rommel Narvaez, 19, pleaded not guilty Monday afternoon in
San Mateo County Superior Court to two counts of robbery and
two counts of assault with a rearm crimes that carry a hefty
sentence under Californias 10-20-Life Law, District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe said.
He is charged with two counts of robbery and two assaults
with a gun. He faces up to 22 years in prison on those charges,
and that doesnt count if he had any priors, Wagstaffe said.
The 10-20-Life Law, also known by the catch phrase Use a
Gun and Youre Done law, was enacted in 1997 with the intent
of maximizing prison sentences for those who use rearms to
carry out certain violent crimes.
Police say Narvaez responded to a Craigslist ad offering
money in exchange for iPhones, luring his victim to Lincoln Park
on Brunswick Street at Templeton Avenue on April 8. At the
park, he robbed the victim of money he brought to purchase the
phone, Daly City police Sgt. Michael Barton said. The victim
was not injured in the robbery.
Narvaez remains in custody on $150,000 bail. He is scheduled
to return to San Mateo County Superior Court in South San
Francisco for a preliminary hearing 9 a.m. April 26.
Local authorities assist federal
ICE agents in serving search warrants
Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement ofcials
served search warrants in a Daly City neighborhood late
Thursday morning, according to authorities.
ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice said search warrants were
executed this morning as part of an ongoing criminal probe not
related to immigration issues.
She said she could not comment about the location and nature
of the warrants, nor any details about yesterdays enforcement
operation. Daly City police Sgt. Michael Barton said ofcers
were asked to assist San Mateo County Narcotics Task Force
ofcials in an operation in the area of Acacia Street, near Bay
Bridge Drive just before noon.
A family of seven displaced from their
San Mateo home due to a two-alarm re
early Wednesday morning is staying
with family in Burlingame after losing
much of their belongings and sport utili-
ty vehicle.
The father woke his family and ed
the Bermuda Drive home before re-
ghters arrived on scene at about 3:40
a.m. to battle the blaze for nearly an
hour.
The SUV was on re and so was the
garage, which suffered the most damage.
The father was getting ready to go to
work when the re was reported.
Friends are accepting donations for
the family. The family is in need of
mostly clothes and school supplies.
Donations can be dropped off at Ray
Park in Burlingame Saturday where the
Burlingame Softball League is holding a
fundraiser with proceeds from the Snack

SACRAMENTO The California
agency overseeing the states effort to
build the nations rst high-speed rail
line received a boost Thursday when a
judge approved a settlement in a major
lawsuit that sought to block the project.
However, the rail authority also faced
a setback that could delay work and add
to the projects soaring costs.
The rail authority reached the settle-
ment with a group of Central Valley
farmers who sued to block the bullet
train on environmental grounds. The
approval by a Sacramento County
Superior Court cleared the last legal hur-
dle for the $68 billion project to break
ground this summer.
Getting the environmental lawsuit out
of the way is a signicant win for Gov.
Jerry Brown, a Democrat, and other
allies of the ambitious, much-criticized
project. Brown said in a news release
that it is a very solid settlement
between farmers and the California
High-Speed Rail Authority.
Under the deal, the authority agreed to
establish a $5 million fund to preserve
farmland and pay nearly $1 million in
legal fees to the groups that led the law-
suit, which include the Madera and
Merced county farm bureaus. It also
spells out how the authority will work
with landowners to acquire land along
the route.
Dan Richard, chairman of the rail
authority board, said the agreement
paves the way for construction to start
this summer on the rst 30-mile segment
of track from Madera to Fresno.
The settlement also shows that in
working together with the agricultural
community, we can build high-speed rail
and work toward preservation of agricul-
ture in the Central Valley, Richard said.
Also Thursday, the federal Surface
Transportation Board ruled that it has
authority over the California project,
which could mean substantial delays and
cost overruns if the state is forced to
comply with federal railroad regulations.
The state has applied for an exemption
to that oversight, and Richard said he is
confident the board will approve its
request next month, as it did recently for
a Florida project.
Voters approved issuing $10 billion in
bonds for the project in 2008, but public
support has dwindled in recent years as
the projects costs have soared.
Sacramento County Superior Court
Judge Timothy Frawley approved the
legal settlement a day before a scheduled
hearing on the merits of the case.
We were able to achieve some signif-
icant additional protections for agricul-
ture in Madera and Merced counties,
Tom Coleman, president of the Madera
County Farm Bureau, said in a news
release.

Peninsula- According to industry experts,
there are over 33 physical problems that
will come under scrutiny during a home
inspection when your home is for sale. A
new report has been prepared which
identifies the eleven most common of
these problems, and what you should
know about them before you list your
home for sale.
Whether you own an old home or a brand
new one, there are a number of things
that can fall short of requirements during
a home inspection. If not identified and
dealt with, any of these 11 items could
cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's
why it's critical that you read this report
before you list your home.
If you wait until the building inspector
flags these issues for you, you will
almost certainly experience costly delays
in the close of your home sale or, worse,
turn prospective buyers away altogether.
In most cases, you can make a reason-
able pre-inspection yourself if you
know what you're looking for, and
knowing what you're looking for can
help you prevent little problems from
growing into costly and unmanageable
ones.
To help home sellers deal with this
issue before their homes are listed, a
free report entitled "11 Things You
Need to Know to Pass Your Home
Inspection" has been compiled which
explains the issues involved.

WASHINGTON Pro-business legislation
aimed at helping companies fend off sophisti-
cated foreign hackers sailed through the
House on Thursday despite a White House
veto threat and an outcry from privacy advo-
cates and civil liberties groups that say it
leaves Americans vulnerable to spying by the
military.
The House vote, 288-127, puts the spotlight
on the Senate, which hasnt taken up the issue
and is consumed with other high-prole issues
such as gun control and immigration. The lack
of enthusiasm in the Senate and objections by
the White House mean that the legislation is in
limbo despite an aggressive push by lobbyists
representing nearly every corner of industry.
But supporters said they were gaining
momentum: Despite the White House veto
threat 92 Democrats voted for the measure,
compared to only 42 for a similar bill last year.
The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and
Protection Act, or CISPA, is widely backed by
industry groups that say businesses are strug-
gling to defend themselves against aggressive
and sophisticated attacks from hackers in
China, Russia and Eastern Europe.
Hackers havent been able to deliver crip-
pling blows to the U.S. economy or infra-
structure, but they have been able to wreak
havoc on some key commercial systems. Most
recently several news outlets including the
New York Times acknowledged that their sys-
tems had been penetrated, while banks are
said to be quietly ghting daily intrusions.
North Korea was recently held responsible for
a cyberattack that shut down tens of thousands
of computers and servers at South Korean
broadcasters and banks.
The bill, said House Intelligence Committee
Chairman Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., strikes
that right balance between our privacy, civil
liberties and stopping bad guys in their tracks
from ruining what is one-sixth of the U.S.
economy.
Under the legislation, businesses and the
federal government would be able to share
technical data without worrying about anti-
trust or classication laws. The bill also would
grant businesses legal immunity if hacked so
long as they acted in good faith to protect their
networks. The bill is sponsored by Rogers and
Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., the
panels top Democrat.
But privacy advocates and civil liberties
groups say the bill would open up Americans
most private online records to the federal gov-
ernment. The bill doesnt include a require-
ment that companies scrub data of sensitive
information like health or credit records
before sharing it with the government.
Audit finds problems with
California specialty plates
SACRAMENTO State auditors reported
significant problems on Thursday in how
California agencies collect and spend money
from certain specialty license plate funds,
including the loss of more than $22 million in
revenue that could have been used for pro-
grams to help veterans, college students, re-
ghters and others.
Gov. Jerry Brown and lawmakers sought the
audit after an investigation last year by the
Associated Press. In part, the AP found that
money in a Sept. 11 memorial license plate
fund that was intended to help victims fami-
lies and law enforcement had been diverted to
other programs.
In addition, Brown and former Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger diverted $3 million of the $15
million raised for the California Memorial
Scholarship Program to help close the states
budget decit and never paid the money back.
The report was the rst audit in the 20-year
history of Californias specialty license plate
program. It found accounting problems within
the Department of Motor Vehicles and prob-
lems in how money has been spent.
Assembly OKs money
for gun-seizure program
SACRAMENTO Californias one-of-a-
kind program to seize guns from felons, the
mentally unstable and others prohibited from
owning them is close to receiving more money
after an Assembly vote Thursday.
A bill from state Sen. Mark Leno, D-San
Francisco, was approved on a vote of 57-10,
with all the opposition votes coming from
Republican lawmakers. It authorizes $24 mil-
lion over three years for the Armed and
Prohibited Persons program to hire more
agents to seize weapons.
The vote comes a day after the U.S. Senate
rejected a gun control package, including a
proposal to expand background checks.
The state program checks databases to iden-
tify people who bought guns legally but are no
longer permitted to own them because of a
felony conviction, a violent misdemeanor, a
determination that they are mentally unstable
or a domestic violence restraining order.

WEST, Texas Rescuers searched the
smoking remnants of a Texas farm town
Thursday for survivors of a thunderous fertil-
izer plant explosion, gingerly checking
smashed houses and apartments for anyone
still trapped in debris while the community
awaited word on the number of dead.
Initial reports put the fatalities as high as
15, but later in the day, authorities backed
away from any estimate and refused to elabo-
rate. More than 160 people were hurt.
A breathtaking band of destruction extend-
ed for blocks around the West Fertilizer Co. in
the small community of West. The blast shook
the ground with the strength of a small earth-
quake and crumpled dozens of homes, an
apartment complex, a school and a nursing
home. Its dull boom could be heard dozens of
miles away from the town about 20 miles
north of Waco.
Waco police Sgt. William Patrick Swanton
described ongoing search-and-rescue efforts
as tedious and time-consuming, noting that
crews had to shore up much of the wreckage
before going in.
There was no indication the blast, which
sent up a mushroom-shaped plume of smoke
and left behind a crater, was anything other
than an industrial accident, he said.
On Thursday evening, several hundred peo-
ple packed St. Mary of the Assumption
Catholic Church in downtown West for a non-
denominational church service. A victim
relief services chaplain said prayers and
hymns were offered in honor of blast victims.
The explosion was apparently touched off
by a re, but there was no indication what
sparked the blaze. The company had been
cited by regulators for what appeared to be
minor safety and permitting violations over
the past decade.
The Wednesday night explosion rained
burning embers and debris down on terried
residents. The landscape Thursday was
wrapped in acrid smoke and strewn with the
shattered remains of buildings, furniture and
personal belongings.
Fireghter Darryl Hall choked up as he
described the search.
Crews seek survivors, bodies after Texas blast
By Nedra Pickler
WASHINGTON Four months ago,
President Barack Obama promised a grieving
nation he would do everything in his power to
change gun laws after 26 students and staff
were shot to death at Sandy Hook Elementary
School. Turns out his power and the impas-
sioned pleas of devastated families were no
match for the force of gun rights advocates in
Congress and across the nation.
The National Rie Association and its ener-
gized supporters overcame national outrage
over the deaths of innocent rst graders. The
Senate rejected expanded background checks
for gun buyers in the face of strong public
support for the change, pleas from a former
congresswoman still healing from bullet
wounds and a campaign bankrolled by a bil-
lionaire mayor. Foes of new controls were
stronger than Obamas moral indignation
from the presidents bully pulpit and his
political machine that won two elections but
couldnt translate its grass-roots power to win
the gun vote.
Obama, angry and deant over the defeat, is
vowing to ght on. And the NRA says it is
taking him seriously. We are prepared for a
very long war and a very expensive war,
association spokesman Andrew Arulanandam
said Thursday.
The NRAs success is built on the passion of
gun advocates, activists on both side of the
debate agree. Thats how they were able to
defeat expanded background checks despite
polling that shows up to 90 percent of
Americans support the idea.
You know what I hear from the members
of Congress? said Vice President Joe Biden.
I just met with one. He says, Well that may
be true, Joe, but that 10 percent who doesnt
agree, they are going to show up. Theyre
going to show up and vote. And that 90 per-
cent thinks its a good idea, but theyre not
going to vote for me or against me because of
how I vote on this, Biden said during a
Google Plus online chat Wednesday.
Arulanandam said he refers to NRA mem-
bers as super volunteers who work on polit-
ical campaigns and get to know lawmakers
personally so their voices are even more pow-
erful in the debate. A Washington Post-ABC
News poll taken last week shows they are
more likely to speak up: 20 percent of gun
owners and 14 percent of people who live
with a gun owner said they contacted a public
ofcial on gun control, compared to 10 per-
cent of adults with no gun in their home.

Wisnoms Hardware on First
Avenue in San Mateo has a new
name, one that reflects its owner-
ship Hassett Ace Hardware.
The Hassett family purchased the
San Mateo institution in 2009
from Dick and Suzi Nelson, a
third generation Wisnom. Since
then, the Hassetts have updated
the stores offerings, reconfigured
the aisles and expanded its week-
end hours.
Wisnoms has long been known
for its ability to provide and find
unique items, impeccable atten-
tion to customer service and
incredibly friendly employees.
Though the Wisnom name has a
long San Mateo history, the
Hassetts have a strong hardware
history of their own. Theyve
been in the hardware business
since 1957 and operate three
other stores in Half Moon Bay,
Palo Alto and Willow Glen.

WASHINGTON Four
Democratic and four Republican
senators formally unveiled a sweep-
ing immigration bill Thursday at a
news conference attended by tradi-
tional opponents from big business
and labor, conservative groups and
liberal ones. The lawmakers argued
that this time, thanks to that broad-
based support, immigration over-
haul legislation can succeed in
Congress.
Powerful outside forces have
helped defeat certain other initia-
tives in Washington, but on immi-
gration, the opposite is proving
true, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.,
said a day after senators under
intense lobbying pressure blocked a
major gun control package. I am
condent this issue will not fall vic-
tim to the usual partisan deadlock.
Support for the bill is already
being put to the test as conservatives
grow more vocal in opposition. Two
Republican senators held a dueling
news conference with law enforce-
ment ofcials to bash the bills secu-
rity provisions, and several conser-
vative bloggers seized on one provi-
sion of the legislation to falsely
claim that it would allow people
here illegally to get free cellphones.
The 844-page bill is designed to
secure the border, allow tens of
thousands of new high- and low-
skilled workers into the country
while requiring employers to verify
their legal status, and put 11 million
people here illegally on a path to cit-
izenship, as long as certain border
security goals are met rst.
Yes, we offer a path to citizen-
ship to people who didnt come here
legally, said Sen. John McCain, R-
Ariz., anticipating opposition to that
provision. Theyre here, and realis-
tically there is nothing we can do to
induce them all to return to their
countries of origin.
In addition to Schumer and
McCain, the members of the so-
called Gang of Eight are
Democrats Dick Durbin of
Illinois, Robert Menendez of New
Jersey and Michael Bennet of
Colorado, and Republicans Marco
Rubio of Florida, Lindsey Graham
of South Carolina and Jeff Flake
of Arizona.

OXFORD, Miss. A Mississippi
man charged with sending ricin-
laced letters to the president and
other officials was described
Thursday as a good father, a quiet
neighbor and an entertainer who
impersonated Elvis at parties. Other
accounts show a man who spiraled
into emotional turmoil trying to get
attention for his claims of uncover-
ing a conspiracy to sell body parts
on the black market.
Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, wrote
numerous Web posts over the past
several years describing the event
that he said changed my life forev-
er: the chance discovery of body
parts and organs wrapped in plastic
in small refrigerator at a hospital
where he worked as a janitor more
than a decade ago.
He tried to talk to ofcials and get
the word out online, but he thought
he was being railroaded by the gov-
ernment. Authorities say the efforts
culminated in letters sent to
President Barack Obama, a U.S.
senator and a judge in Mississippi.
Maybe I have your attention now
even if that means someone must
die, the letters read, according to an
FBI afdavit.
He is bipolar, and the only thing
I can say is he wasnt on his medi-
cine, his ex-wife, Laura Curtis, told
the Associated Press.
Jim Waide, an attorney for the
Curtis family, said Paul Kevin
Curtis was prescribed medication
three years ago. When he is on his
medication, he is terric, hes nice,
hes functional, Waide said. When
hes off his medication, thats when
theres a problem.

Letters to the editor
By Steve Okamoto
I
n a recent documentary on the
National Geographic Channel, Nat
Geo, there was a story about a floating
island of plastic and other debris floating
around in the North Pacific. The island of
junk was called The Great Pacific Garbage
Dump. The images from that show stayed
with me because I could not imagine an
island, some estimate to be as large as
North America, floating aimlessly while
creating havoc for birds and fish.
When the City Council started to deliber-
ate about adopting an ordinance to ban
plastic bags here in Foster City, the Great
Pacific Garbage Dump came into my mind.
Although we may be a small city in the
scope of a huge floating island, I still felt
that our small effort, along with other com-
munities in San Mateo County who also
adopted similar ordinances, could result in
somewhat reducing the size of that ugly,
floating debris of plastic bags and bottles.
Let me also tell you about other green
projects that we in Foster City are proud to
acknowledge. Lets first talk about the new
LED street lights installed on our streets.
Not only do they provide better illumina-
tion, but they are saving the city around
$90,000 a year in energy costs. Weve
installed synthetic turf baseball and soccer
fields in three of our parks and are design-
ing a synthetic turf field for a fourth park.
These synthetic turf fields have been
installed with park-in-lieu fees so our gen-
eral fund balances were not affected. They
have also saved millions of gallons of water
(which provides a savings to our general
fund).
Finally, we are in the early stages of
planning for solar panel installation on the
roof of the Library/Community Center and
on car shades in the adja-
cent parking lot. Early
estimates have said that
we could save in the life-
time of those panels more
than $800,000 in utility
bills.
The plastic bag ordi-
nance will become effec-
tive on April 22, which is
Earth Day. When that date arrives, you will
no longer be asked the question, paper or
plastic? If you choose to use the retailers
bag, your purchases will be put into a recy-
cled-content paper bag and the retailer will
be required to charge you 10 cents for each
bag you use. That charge will continue until
the end of the year 2014, and then the 10
cents charge will be increased to 25 cents.
As an alternative, you can avoid the bag
charge by choosing to bring your own bag.
The city has a fund called the
Construction and Demolition Fund.
Construction contractors pay a deposit to
the city that requires them to recycle 50
percent of the material they demolish as
part of a construction project. If they do not
reach that goal, the city gets to keep all or
part of that deposit. These unclaimed funds
are then used to pay for projects and pro-
grams that seek to reduce the amount of
waste that goes to our landfills. When I
learned of this fund, which is totally sepa-
rate from our general fund, I thought this
might be a wonderful opportunity to pro-
vide all residents with a free reusable bag
as this would further the citys efforts
toward recycling and waste reduction, and
also save residents from having to pay the
10 cent fee.
With the assistance of staff and Chamber
of Commerce President/CEO Joanne
Bohigan, we researched reusable bags that
met several key factors. First, they must be
either biodegradable or made from recycled
material. Plus, we wanted to purchase them
locally and, if possible, to be manufactured
locally or at least in the United States as
well. Several bags met the criteria and, with
funding available from the construction and
demolition fund, the program was brought
to the City Council for final approval.
However, it was thought that providing
reusable bags for the residents was unnec-
essary because it was felt that everyone
already had their own bag. Also, some resi-
dents might get the wrong impression that
in todays economy and budgetary chal-
lenges that we would be spending money
unwisely.
I understood all the comments and each
persons objections, so I asked the council
if I personally approached and solicited the
business community for sponsorship of this
project, would they then reconsider my
original proposal. The council agreed.
Therefore, I am now reaching out to the
business community to ask for your sup-
port. I have already heard from a couple of
excited businesses ready to join me in this
effort. Please contact me if you would be
interested in sponsoring the project, which
would be a great way to promote and drive
customers to your local business, and sup-
port a worthwhile effort to create a more

Go figure
Editor,
Every day, we read of special interest
groups that demand more funding for edu-
cation, child care, mental health programs,
prisoner rehabilitation, rebuilding infra-
structure, medical research ... you name it.
On the other hand, our friends in
Sacramento continue to pour money down
the drain for high-speed rail and Jerry
Browns pipe dream to Southern California.
You would think that all these special inter-
est groups would rally together and march
on Sacramento, demanding that these wast-
ed dollars on high-speed rail be better spent
on their favorite cause. Dont you think the
elected representatives would listen if the
noise is loud enough? Or do these groups
just like to complain? I should assume that
most citizens are just trying to survive in
todays economy and feel that they are
helpless to change the direction of events
unfolding in Sacramento.
On another topic, the general election is
long over, but President Obama made a
pass through the Bay Area recently to raise
funds for next years election of those in his
Democratic Party. Thirty-two thousand dol-
lars was a quoted figure for one to dine
with the president. If you have that kind of
money to throw around, I assume you are in
the famous wealthy 1 percent. As such,
your taxes have taken a substantial
increase, thanks to the wishes of the presi-
dent and fellow Democrats. Why would you
pay to allow them to raise your taxes?

FIghting for
gun control legislation
Editor,
President Obama is to be thanked and
commended for fighting passionately for
common sense gun control laws (Gun con-
trol: No expanded background checks, in
the April 18 edition of the Daily Journal).
Twenty years from now, when gun vio-
lence has been mercifully curtailed as a
result of his efforts, people will look back
at the contentious debates of the present
day and the obstructionists in Congress and
ask: What could they have possibly been
thinking?

Everyone loses with
Belmonts failure
T
he effort to lure Crystal Springs
Uplands School back to the table and
build a new middle school in Belmont
died fast and hard. Sad, but not really all that
unexpected considering the history of the pro-
posal.
Just a week after
Councilwoman Coralin
Feierbach changed her
mind and asked the
school to reconsider
after she and two other
councilmembers reject-
ed the proposal in
October, school ofcials
said they wont reapply
because they dont own
the property. It may
have been sold, but that is not known for sure.
Feierbach changed her mind because she
heard a developer was interested in building
housing at the Davis Drive site. She was also
seeking additional nancial sweeteners from
the school on top of the $1 million one-time
payment and $250,000 a year school ofcials
offered to the city leading up to the 3-2 council
rejection in October.
In her reasoning, Feierbach said shed rather
see a school than housing and this was a
chance to get some much-needed money for
the city.
The top-notch Hillsborough sixth- through
12th-grade school, known for its innovative
educational practices and small learning com-
munities, was seeking a leafy locale for a new
middle school since its current town has a limit
on enrollment. The new campus would have
housed 240 students and have a 52,000-square-
foot building to replace 83,000 square feet of
ofce buildings there now. But it was not to
be.
So, in essence, the city will not get what
would have been a huge benet for its resi-
dents through the esteem of such a high-quali-
ty school and its offerings to local students. It
will also not get the original nancial offer and
instead will be facing the prospect of a vacant
ofce building with the past potential to be
something noteworthy and possibly remark-
able now becoming housing, or perhaps
remaining vacant.
A more appropriate path for the city would
have been to approve the school in October
when it was before the council rather than tor-
pedoing the proposal because of what
Feierbach called nasty comments. Feierbach
didnt like some of things said publicly about
her and the council and translated that into
umbrage with school ofcials and the project
overall. So everyone loses because of a coun-
cilwomans thin skin and a too-late, too-slow
attempt at reconciliation.
One thing is for sure, Feierbachs unsuccess-
ful change of heart did little to placate those
who didnt like the school because of its
potential trafc impacts while causing bewil-
derment and disgust in those who wanted it all
along.
Feierbachs four-year City Council term is
up in November. She said she is 99 percent
sure she wont be running again. With this fail-
ure, thats probably a good idea.

SamTrans ofcials have asked for some-
where around $10 million to $15 million a
year from the San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors from the approximately $60 mil-
lion a year in money generated by the voter-
approved half-cent sales tax in November to
fund county services. SamTrans justied the
request since its paratransit service, which
costs about $13.3 million a year, serves the
elderly, the young and the disabled. Thats the
same group the county sales tax campaign said
the revenue sought to assist. In January, I pre-
dicted that the board would look kindly on the
request, but not for the full amount. What will
likely shake out is a $5 million annual contri-
bution once SamTrans provides solid data on
how exactly its service helps the same people
the county serves.
It wont be enough to pay for the entire serv-
ice, but it might be enough, combined with
new revenue from ever-rising ridership, to
stave off an effort for a new tax to pay for
SamTrans and Caltrain service.

Big movers
By Matthew Craft
NEW YORK Disappointing earn-
ings from a range of companies pushed
the stock market lower on Thursday, giv-
ing major indexes their third loss this
week.
The stock prices of Morgan Stanley,
UnitedHealth Group and others sank after
they turned in weaker quarterly results.
Prices of commodities held steady fol-
lowing a wild couple of days.
Government bond yields remained near
their lowest point of the year as investors
sought safety.
The Standard & Poors 500 index lost
10.40 points to close at 1,541.61, a
decline of 0.7 percent.
Compared with the steep drops earlier
this week, the losses on Thursday looked
tame. The S&P 500 lost 2 percent on
Monday, its worst day of the year, when a
slowdown in Chinas economic growth
set off a rout in prices for gold, oil and
other commodities and pummeled the
stocks of companies that make them.
After reaching a record high a week ago,
the index has now slumped 3 percent.
One reason behind the markets sudden
turn might simply be that investors want-
ed to take some of their winnings off the
table, said Joseph Tanious, global market
strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds. At the
start of April, the S&P 500 was already
up 10 percent for 2013, more than
investors can expect to get in most years.
For a while there, it seemed like all the
headlines were stock market hits all-time
high, Tanious said. When they see
things like that, investors get nervous and
look for reasons to sell.
Prot slipped at Morgan Stanley as the
bank made less money from trading
bonds and commodities, a common
theme for many investment banks this
earnings season. Morgan Stanley lost 5
percent to $20.31.
UnitedHealths prot fell short of ana-
lysts estimates, and the countrys largest
health insurer said it expects federal
budget cuts to pressure its earnings this
year. Its stock lost 4 percent to $59.69.
EBay fell 6 percent to $52.82 after the
online auction company cut its prot
forecast for this quarter.
The market didnt get any help from
economic news Thursday. Investors
pointed to reports that more people
applied for unemployment benets last
week and manufacturing slowed in the
mid-Atlantic region. Those reports fol-
lowed several recent signs of weakness in
the economy, including a sharp slowdown
in hiring last month and poor retail sales.
The markets drop was tempered by
better prots at Verizon, Pepsi and Union
Pacic. Verizon Communications prot
beat analysts predictions as wireless rev-
enue kept rising at a rate of 9 percent, the
envy of the industry. Pepsi net income
and revenue also surpassed estimates.
Verizons stock gained 3 percent to
$50.91, while Pepsis climbed 3 percent
to $81.25.
Higher shipping rates pushed Union
Pacics prot up 11 percent, and the rail-
road said it expects to ship more goods
later this year. Union Pacic rose 4 per-
cent to $142.46.
Analysts have set a low bar for rst-
quarter earnings. They predict that com-
panies in the S&P 500 will report that
earnings climbed just 1.5 percent in the
rst quarter compared with the same peri-
od a year ago, a slowdown from the 7.7
percent growth in the fourth quarter,
according to S&P Capital IQ.
So far, companies are easily topping the
estimates of Wall Street analysts. Of the
61 companies that turned in results
through Wednesday, 39 of them have
exceeded forecasts.
Stock market slips on weak earnings

like that, investors get nervous and look for reasons to sell.

Yahoo adds two more
applications to mobile arsenal
SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo is taking the next step in its
effort to make some of its most popular services more
appealing and accessible to the growing audience connecting
to the Internet on smartphones and tablet computers.
The mobile push being orchestrated by CEO Marissa
Mayer has hatched Yahoos rst email application for Apple
Inc.s iPad and other tablet computers running on Google
Inc.s Android software.
Yahoo Inc. also has created a new weather app for Apples
iPhone that will provide current temperatures and forecasts
on top of slideshows featuring pictures of landmarks and
other scenery in the cities chosen by a user.
The company, which is based in Sunnyvale released the
apps Thursday.
Like many other Internet companies, Yahoo Inc. is pouring
more engineering talent and money into developing mobile
applications as people spend more time consuming content
on smartphones and tablets.
Mayer has made mobile services one of her top priorities
since defecting from a top job at Google to become Yahoos
CEO nine months ago. She has already overseen a redesign
of Yahoos email app for smartphones, as well as the app for
its Flickr photo service on the iPhone and iPad.
Flight delays: Furloughs
begin at airports Sunday
WASHINGTON Air trafc controller furloughs sched-
uled to kick in on Sunday could result in ight delays of
more than three hours in Atlanta, as well as signicant delays
in Chicago, Los Angeles and New York-area airports, feder-
al ofcials said Thursday.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and Federal
Aviation Administrator Michael Huerta said they have no
choice but to cut controller stafng by 10 percent, which will
reduce how many planes airports can handle. But a spokes-
woman for Airlines for America, a trade association for the
airline industry, said the furloughs are unnecessary and air-
lines are considering suing the government.
Without the furloughs, FAA ofcials could nd no way to
cut $637 million from the agencys budget as required by
automatic, across-the-board spending cuts approved by
Congress, LaHood and Huerta said at a media brieng.
Grants provide $9M for foreclosure assistance
SACRAMENTO A fund that is distributing money
from a national settlement with mortgage lenders is giving
21 California organizations a total of $9.4 million to help
borrowers who face the loss of their homes to foreclosure.
The money comes from a settlement announced last year.
California secured more than $20 billion, the largest share of
any state.
The distributions from the California National Mortgage
Settlement Grant Program were announced Thursday.
Programs that provide free legal assistance and foreclo-
sure-intervention services will benet.
Business briefs
LOS ANGELES The real estate
tracking firm DataQuick says San
Francisco Bay Area home sales
dipped in March compared to the
same period in 2012, but the median
price rose on a year-over-year basis
for the 12th consecutive month.
San Diego-based DataQuick said
Thursday that the March results were
due to demand continuing to outstrip
supply in many areas. DataQuick says
7,263 new and resale houses and condos
sold in the nine-county area last month,
up 34.4 percent from February but down
6 percent from March 2012.
The median price paid in March was
$436,000, an increase of 7.7 percent
from $405,000 in February and up 21.8
percent from $358,000 in March 2012.
DataQuick says transactions of
$500,000 or greater helped push the
median sale price up.
Supply affects Bay Area March home sales

SAN FRANCISCO Googles latest
quarterly results provided further proof
that the Internet search leader is guring
out how to make more money as Web
surfers migrate from personal computers
to mobile devices.
The rst-quarter numbers released
Thursday show that a recent decline in
Googles average ad prices is easing.
Thats an indication that marketers are
starting to pay more for the ads that
Google distributes to smartphones and
tablet computers. The company expects
that trend to continue as it changes its pric-
ing system and as mobile devices emerge
as the most effective way to reach con-
sumers.
In another encouraging sign, the
Motorola cellphone business was less of a
burden than it has been since Google
bought it for $12.4 billion nearly a year
ago.
Meanwhile, Googles core operations,
such as Internet search, maps, video and
email, remain reliable moneymakers.
Those factors, coupled with an unusual-
ly low tax rate, produced earnings that
exceeded analyst estimates and pleased
investors. Googles stock gained $11.84,
or 1.6 percent, to $777.75 in extended trad-
ing Thursday after the report came out.
As with most major technology compa-
nies, Googles future success is likely to
hinge on its ability to adjust to an acceler-
ating shift from computers controlled by
keyboards and mice to mobile devices that
respond to the touch of a nger and are
usually within a persons reach.
Google has been among the companies
leading the transition, thanks to the
Android software that it has been giving
away to device makers since 2008.
Android is now the leading mobile operat-
ing system. Most device makers using
Android also prominently feature
Googles services, giving the company
more opportunities to sell ads.
Even so, the mobile upheaval has pre-
sented Google with challenges that have
been worrying investors, despite the com-
panys steadily rising earnings.
Mobile ads so far have fetched less
money than those viewed on the larger
screens of laptop and desktop computers.
Googles average price, or the cost per
click to advertisers, has fallen from the
previous year in six consecutive quarters,
including the rst three months of the year.
Now, there are signs that marketers are
starting to pay more for mobile ads. The
rst-quarter decrease in average ad prices
was just 4 percent. By comparison,
Googles average ad price fell by 6 percent
during the nal three months of last year
and by 12 percent during last years rst
quarter.
Googles first quarter shows
more progress in mobile ads

WASHINGTON The head of the
International Monetary Fund says the
United States, Europe, Japan and China
all need to make adjustments to their cur-
rent economic policies in order to boost a
still-struggling global economy.
IMF Managing Director Christine
Lagarde says the United States and many
countries in Europe need to focus more on
growth and less on trimming budget bal-
ances this year. She said there was a criti-
cal need for policies focused on spurring
jobs. Lagarde told a news conference
Thursday that we need growth, rst and
foremost.
Lagarde spoke to reporters to preview
upcoming discussions among nance
ministers and central bank governors of
the worlds 20 major economies plus the
spring meetings of the 188-nation IMF
and its sister lending institution, the World
Bank. Earlier this week, the IMF lowered
its outlook for the world economy this
year, predicting that government spending
cuts would slow U.S. growth and keep the
17-nation area that uses the euro currency
in recession.
Ofcials of the Group of 20, which
includes Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew
and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke, were scheduled to begin their
discussions over a working dinner
Thursday night and wrap up Friday with
the issuance of a joint communique. The
G-20 is composed of the worlds major
developed countries such as the United
States, Japan and Germany and fast-grow-
ing developing nations including China,
Brazil and India.

With his top two starting pitchers unavail-
able, Sequoia baseball manager Corey Uhalde
called on Jarrett Crowell to make his rst start
of the season at home against San Mateo.
Uhalde and the Cherokees may have found
a long-term solution to any kind of pitching
woes. Crowell pitched ve innings of two-hit
ball, allowing one run while striking out ve
and walking only one in a 17-3 Sequoia win.
Crowell gave up both hits in the rst inning
and issued a walk to San Mateo pinch hitter
Ariel Tennenhouse in the fth inning, retiring
11 in a row between the rst inning and the
base on balls.
We were confident because he throws
strikes and hes not afraid of anyone, Uhalde
said of Crowell. It was big to know he could
go out and do the job.
While Crowell was shutting down San
Mateo, the Sequoia (6-1 PAL Ocean, 11-8-1
overall) offense was getting enough key hits
to drive in runs as the Cherokees scored 17
runs on 12 hits. Occasionally, they didnt even
need a hit to score. Four San Mateo pitchers
combined to walk 11 batters, with Eli Dugan
and Tyler Leary each drawing bases-loaded
walks to drive in runs.
All told, Sequoia sent eight batters to the
plate in each of the second, third and fourth
innings.
Sequoia trailed 1-0 after half an inning but
quickly tied the score in the bottom of the
frame on a Zane Gelphman double to drive in
Crowell, who led off the inning and doubled
on the rst pitch he saw. From there, it was a
constant Cherokees procession across home
plate. They scored in every inning they batted,
taking the lead for good with a four-run
fourth. They added two more in the third and
put another four-spot on the scoreboard in the
fourth before scoring three runs in each of the
fth and sixth innings.

The most dangerous place to play a varsity
softball game in on paper.
Burlingame knows this very well. In a week
when the Panthers admittedly overlooked an
upstart Sequoia ball club (which shut out the
Panthers), Burlingame was in danger of doing
so again in their Peninsula Athletic League
showdown with Aragon Thursday afternoon.
Up just 1-0 in the bottom of the fourth,
Burlingame surrendered three runs to the
Dons on a Sophia Ceretta home run and a
couple of errors and found themselves down
3-1.
I think there was a little bit of panic, said
Panthers head coach Doug McKeever. The
problem is, this team being relatively young
and me being a rst-year head coach, Ive
come to learn that you cant overlook any-
body. It seems like were our own worst
enemy and the girls have such a high expecta-
tion of where we should be and it doesnt
always pan out and I think they get impa-
tient.
Luckily for Burlingame, Thursday was not
a day for total impatience. In fact, down 3-1,
the Panthers put the pedal to the metal, scor-
ing ve runs in the last three innings to come
away with a 8-4 win.
What was nice about today, we made a few
changes in the field and in the lineup,
McKeever said. And the girls stepped up.
And thats what were looking for.
I think at rst we panicked and thats why
the errors kind of continued, said
Burlingame shortstop and offensive cataylst
Nicki Lunghi. But, once we got back in the
dugout we just kind of settled down. We know
we could hit the ball, we know this is a hit-
table pitcher and I think we had to regroup,
make adjustments and nally at the end we
did that.
The rst half of the game was a nice little
pitchers duel between Aragons Sarah
Nelson and Meagan Ailand.
Nelson allowed one run in the rst on an
RBI single by Kacy Edwards. But from there,
Nelson was solid until she came out of the
game following a shoulder injury in the sixth.
Sarah is a real trooper, said Aragon head

OAKLAND David Lee has worked for
eight seasons to be in the NBA playoffs. The
last time he even attended a postseason game
was between the Bulls and Wizards in
Chicago before the 2005 draft.
Its been a long time to wait, said Lee,
who spent his rst ve seasons with the New
York Knicks. Im having
to do more to calm myself
down than to get hyped to
be ready for it.
A lot of Lees team-
mates can relate.
Andrew Bogut is the
only Golden State
Warriors starter who has
ever been to the playoffs.
Only five players have
been to the postseason.
Heck, only ve players on the current roster
were even in the NBA the last time the fran-
chise made the playoffs in 2007.
When the sixth-seeded Warriors begin their
rst-round series at third-seeded Denver on
Saturday, it will be uncharted territory for
most involved, including second-year coach
Mark Jackson. For the rst time, the former
NBA point guard will be in a suit on the bench
instead of a jersey on the court when the ball
is thrown up for the rst time.
Jackson was adamant after the teams light
practice Thursday that playoff experience
matters little. He also recalled when the
Boston Celtics led by Larry Bird, Robert
Parish, Kevin McHale and Dennis Johnson
knocked his Knicks out in the rst round his
rookie year in 1987-88 in four games.
Experience didnt send us home, Jackson
said. The Boston Celtics, with four Hall of
Famers, sent us home.
Denvers George Karl has Jackson well out-
numbered on the NBA sidelines. Karl will be
coaching his 22nd squad in the playoffs.
Jackson, who had never coached at any
level when the Warriors hired him two years
ago, deected the attention to his players
when pressed about how his abilities will be
tested.

The College of San Mateo swim team went
into the 2013 Coast Conference champi-
onships expecting a dog ght.
And it would appear, they bit rst.
In what CSM head coach Randy Wright
called, a ne rst day of competition, CSM
won eight medals in 10 events.
We had some great swims on day one,
Wright said via email.
On the mens side, CSM was highlighted by
Derek Koo, who had a tremendous 200-meter
individual medley race.
What was supposed to be a close race on
paper, Koo pulled away on the breaststroke
and never looked back. He nished in 1:58.38.
On the womens side, All-American super-
star Miya Oto nished nearly a second ahead
of the eld in winning the 50-meter freestyle.
Also strong, according to Wright, was
CSMs relay teams. The womens 400-meter
medley relay team (Oto, Rachel Rosas,
Kellsey Mercado, Kelly Dwyer) took rst in
4:14.34. The same team took silver in the 200-
meter freestyle relay.
The mens 400-meter medley relay team
(Koo, Jason Wong, Alvaro Andaluz, Richard
Gonzalez) also picked up silver.
Mercado took bronze in the 100-meter IM.
Andaluz picked up a third-place nish in the
50-meter freestyle and so did the mens 200-
meter freestyle team.
The Coast Conference championship action
resumes Friday at DeAnza College in
Cupertino with trials at 10 a.m. and nals at 3
p.m.
Today all four relays were really strong
and won medals, Wright said. We need
great swims by all four members to win a
medal. Today it happened. This is only day
one, we need to continue to have great swims
and build momentum for the next two days.
College baseball
The College of San Mateo baseball team is
going to need some serious help.
By virtue of its most recent loss, a 12-2 drub-
bing at the hands of Chabot College, CSM nds
itself two games out of rst place with just
three left on the Coast Conference schedule.
The climb towards another division title just
got a whole lot harder.
Worse for the Bulldogs, the Gladiators plated
eight runs (six of them earned) against CSM
ace Zac Grotz, who only went 2 1/3 innings in
the loss. CSM used seven different pitchers in
the game. Grotz surrendered those runs on ve
hits and four walks. He struck out four.
On the other side, Matt Narahar pitched a
gem for Chabot. Narahar went eight innings
and pitched around three hits and six walks. He
struck out nine.
Brandon San came in and worked a one-hit,
one-walk ninth inning.
The Gladiators jumped all over CSM in the
rst three innings. They scored twice in the top
of the rst and sent 10 men to the plate in the
third when they scored six runs on just three
hits. Chabot was the beneciary of a pair of
CSM errors in that frame.
Chabot went up 9-0 before the Bulldogs got
a run home. A Trevin Craig walk started things
off and he went to third on a Brandon Defazio
ground-rule double. CSM loaded the bases on a
walk but would only get the one run after a
Kailen Robinson sacrice y and a Jarrett
Costa strikeout.
The Bulldogs scored once more in the bot-
tom of the ninth on a Dane Vande Guchte sac-
rice y, but not before Chabot scored another
three runs in the top of the ninth.
Chabots remaining three games are against
West Valley, City College of San Francisco and
Mission colleges, which have a combined win-
ning percentage of .432.
In other local college baseball action, Caada
beat rival Skyline College 11-3 to keep pace
with rst-place Cabrillo College the team
that currently owns the Pacic Divisions top
spot by a game.
The Colts are schedule to meet Cabrillo in
the last game of the regular season, at Cabrillo,
on April 25.

MILWAUKEE Matt Cains struggles continued against
the Milwaukee Brewers.
Yovani Gallardo homered and struck out six in his rst start
since being arrested on a drunken driving charge, and the
Brewers beat San Francisco 7-2 Thursday for a three-game
sweep.
We knew how good these guys are, San Francisco man-
ager Bruce Bochy said.
They will get back on track. Its baseball. We came in here
and (Milwaukee) played well. They swung the bats well and
they pitched well. These last two games we faced pretty good
pitchers and they did a good job on us.
San Francisco lost for the fourth time in six games and fell
to 0-4 when Cain pitches.
Cain (0-2) gave up seven earned runs and seven hits while
striking out four without a walk in six innings. The Brewers
led 7-0 after three innings.
It didnt really matter what pitch it was in those three
innings, Cain said. Everything was coming back to the
middle. Right in the middle. I was just not executing the
pitches at all.
Gallardo (1-1) was arrested early Tuesday morning. The
right-hander allowed ve hits, one walk and one earned run
in six innings to give his team its season-high fourth victory
in a row after a 1-8 skid.
It was tough, Gallardo said. Its obviously something
you dont want to ever run into or happen.
Theres different things we all go through, different situa-
tions. We all have stuff off the eld.
Something like that is a big deal. Its serious. I apologize.
Im just going to do everything possible and everything I
have to do so something like that doesnt happen again.
Ryan Braun and Jonathan Lucroy also homered for
Milwaukee, which swept San Francisco for the rst time
since July 18-20, 2008.
I think Yo had something to prove and obviously wasnt
happy with what happened a few days ago, Milwaukee man-
ager Ron Roenicke said. And he was determined to go out
there and do whatever he could to pitch well, and he did.
Yo is really well-liked here. And they know how hard it is
on him, and what hes going through. I think this is a tight
bunch of guys and I think they really pull for each other.
Gallardos two-run homer was his rst of the season and
11th of his career, the most by a Milwaukee pitcher.
Braun hit his third homer of the year, a two-run shot in the
rst. He had been in a 1-for-18 slump in which he struck out
11 times.
In the second inning, Carlos Gomez was hit with a pitch,
stole second and scored on a single by Yuniesky Betancourt.
Gallardos homer to left made it 5-0.
Lucroy added his two-run homer in the third for a 7-0 lead.
Gallardo had allowed 12 earned runs in his past three
starts, but his only blemish came in the fourth. He gave up a
leadoff double to Brandon Crawford, who scored on a sacri-
ce y by Brandon Belt.

Crawford gets 2-year ban
Olympic gold medalist Shawn Crawford was suspended for
two years by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency on Thursday for
not giving full information about his whereabouts for out-of-
competition drug testing, although his coach said he retired
after the trials last summer and U.S. Track and Field said he
led retirement papers this year.
Bobby Kersee was caught off guard by the ban on Crawford,
the 2004 Olympic 200-meter champion. At 35 years old, this
suspension would all but end Crawfords career, but Kersee
insisted he has already stepped away.
I dont understand this. He hasnt put on spikes all year,
Kersee told The Associated Press in a phone interview. I just
dont understand how this is allowed to happen? I think its
wrong. Eventually, the truth has to come out.
A person who hasnt put on spikes all year, a married man
trying to take care of his family and what does he get for the
end of his career a two-year ban? I dont understand.
There is paperwork an athlete needs to ll out in order to
ofcially retire and be removed from the out-of-competition
testing pool. U.S. Track and Field spokeswoman Jill Geer said
Crawford led his retirement papers this year.

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders spent this offseason
getting rid of almost all of the remaining high-prole players
brought in by the previous regime.
One of the few still around in Oakland is running back
Darren McFadden. McFadden is entering the nal season of
his rookie contract hoping a new offense that better suits his
talents will help revive his game after a disappointing 2012
season.
General manager Reggie McKenzie cut
three former top 10 picks this offseason
when he let go of defensive back Michael
Huff, receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey and
linebacker Rolando McClain. But he
remains condent McFadden can regain
the game-breaking ability he showed when
healthy in 2010 and 11 under former
coach Hue Jacksons offense.
Its a great feeling that they have that
condence in me so I just want to go out
there and prove to them on the eld that I
can do that, and just show them that Im the type of player they
think Im capable of being, McFadden said Thursday.
The Raiders ofcially returned to work this week with plen-
ty of new faces from the team that went 4-12 in the rst sea-
son under coach Dennis Allen and a brand new offense under
new coordinator Greg Olson.
Olson replaced Greg Knapp, who was red after last season
when his offense didnt t the personnel in Oakland. The
biggest mismatch was McFadden, who had struggled in a
zone-running scheme early in his career before thriving in a
more power-based system.
After averaging more than 5 yards per carry in each of his
two seasons in Jacksons offense, McFadden averaged just 3.3
yards per carry last season the lowest ever for a Raiders
back with at least 150 carries in a season.
I came in last year with my hopes super high, McFadden
said. They were just crushed. So I just wanted to put that
behind me and move forward.
While McFadden said his problems were about execution
not scheme, his pleasure with the change was evident in his
big smile when asked about what he liked about Olsons
offense.
Its a downhill offense, he said. Thats one of the main
things I like about it. Im the type of guy, I like to get going
downhill off the back so Im looking forward to it. I think its
going to be a great t for our team.
When McFadden ran in a similar offense in 2010 and 11, he
was one of the games best big-play backs, gaining at least 20
yards on one of every 15 runs when he could mostly focus on
running straight ahead.
Last year when the offense called for him to run outside and
look for a hole to cut through, he had only four long runs in
216 carries.
I think it will help him a ton, center Stefen Wisniewski
said. I would expect a lot more production out of him for
sure. Im not going to guess how much, but I really think hell
thrive in this.
McFadden is one of the few high-priced players remaining
in Oakland after Huff, Heyward-Bey, McClain, quarterback
Carson Palmer and defensive linemen Richard Seymour and
Tommy Kelly all left this offseason.
McFadden is one of only two former rst-round picks
remaining and is the longest-tenured position player along
with safety Tyvon Branch still on the roster.
I can honestly say I knew about 20 people, he said. So its
part of football, guys are going to come in and out and youve
just got to keep pushing forward and I feel like everybodys
doing a great job of putting the team together and Im looking
forward to the season.
McFadden said he has not talked with the Raiders about
extending his contract and is keeping his focus for now on
playing football.

Giants WR Cruz still not with team for program
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Even as the deadline for
restricted free agents to sign offer sheets with other teams
approached, Giants general manager Jerry Reese was making
no assumptions about the future of Victor Cruz.
The teams top pass-catcher of 2012 still unsigned to a
one-year, rst-round tender worth $2.879 million remained
absent from the teams voluntary offseason conditioning pro-
gram Thursday. Reese had no idea if hed see the Pro Bowl
standout during the program, training camp, or even into the
season.
Cruz caught 86 passes for 1,092 yards and 10 touchdowns
last season.
The Giants started voluntary the workouts Monday. New
York placed the rst-round tender on Cruz a little more than a
month ago. It allowed the popular receiver to enter restricted
free agency, but it also gave the Giants the right to match any
offer he received.
If the Giants allow him to leave, they will get a rst-round
draft choice as compensation.
Cruz was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2010. The
salsa-dancing University of Massachusetts player has 168
receptions for 2,628 yards and 19 touchdowns. He made the
2012 Pro Bowl and is considered one of the leagues best slot
receivers.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. A Pilot Flying J employee told
investigators that CEO Jimmy Haslam, who is also the
owner of the Cleveland Browns, knew about rebate fraud at
the truck stop chain his family owns, according to an FBI
afdavit unsealed Thursday.
The 120-page document filed in federal court in
Knoxville, where Pilot is based, alleges that members of the
companys sales force preyed on smaller trucking compa-
nies by reducing the amount of rebates they were owed for
buying certain amounts of fuel.
Special Agent Robert H. Root alleged a conspiracy and
scheme to defraud executed by various Pilot employees to
deceptively withhold diesel fuel price rebates and discounts
from Pilot customers ... for the dual purposes of increasing
the protability of Pilot and increasing the diesel sales com-
missions of the Pilot employees participating in the fraud.
The afdavit was led to secure the search warrants used
in Mondays raid on the Pilot Flying J headquarters.
One employee identied only as a condential source told
investigators that the rebate scheme was discussed during
sales meetings attended by Haslam and Pilot President
Mark Hazelwood.
The informant said the practice was known by a variety of
euphemisms ranging from manual rebates to screwing.
Haslam denied wrongdoing in a news conference earlier
this week. He said in a statement Thursday that the foun-
dation of this company is built on its integrity and that any
willful wrongdoing by any employee of this company at any
time is intolerable.
He said the company would continue to cooperate with
authorities and conduct its own investigation.
Informants secretly recorded conversations among Pilot
employees holding frank -and often profane - discussions
about the rebate scheme, and agents interviewed current and
former members of the sales team.
The investigation began after agents were contacted in
May 2011 by a condential informant who said they had
been told about the scheme by a Pilot Flying J employee.
The investigation continued through this month. Jimmy
Haslam bought the Cleveland Browns in a $1 billion deal
last summer.
Haslam was in Cleveland on Thursday to help prepare for
next weeks NFL draft. League spokesman Greg Aiello
declined to weigh in on whether the investigation would
affect Haslams role as team owner.

SAN JOSE Marty Havlat scored twice
against his former team and the San Jose
Sharks closed in on a ninth straight playoff
berth, beating the Minnesota Wild 6-1 on
Thursday night for their most lopsided win of
the season.
Logan Couture added two goals and two
assists, and Raf Torres and Joe Pavelski also
scored for the Sharks, who have won three
straight games to remain tied for fourth place
with Los Angeles in the race for home-ice
advantage in the rst round of the Western
Conference playoffs. Antti Niemi made 26
saves in his 22nd straight start.
Pierre-Marc Bouchard scored the lone goal
for the Wild, who dropped behind St. Louis
into seventh place in the conference.
Minnesota has a four-point lead over ninth-
place Dallas and Detroit in the battle for the
nal playoff spot in the conference but has
one fewer game remaining.
There was little carry-over from the nasty
nish to the last meeting between these teams
two weeks ago in San Jose. Sharks defense-
man Marc-Edouard Vlasic was ned for slash-
ing former teammate Dany Heatley at the nal
whistle. Vlasic then took Heatley to the ice in
an ensuing scrum and Heatley suffered a sea-
son-ending shoulder injury. But with both
teams ghting for playoff position, this was
not the time for retribution.
Havlat has struggled to produce in his two
seasons in San Jose since being acquired in a
deal for Heatley in July 2011. But he has
excelled against the Wild this month with
three goals and two assists. He has no points
in his last 10 games against the rest of the
league.
Along with the two goals, Havlat also drew
the penalty that set up Coutures power-play
tally when he was held by Clayton Stoner
early in the second.
The Sharks capitalized on a nifty passing
sequence when Joe Thornton fed Patrick
Marleau behind the goal line and Marleau set
up Couture in the slot for a one-timer that
made it 2-0.
Bouchard brought the Wild back when he
beat Niemi with a backhand on a breakaway
off a nice feed from Jason Pominville, but
Havlat restored the two-goal lead late in the
period with help from his linemate Couture.
Couture leaped to knock down Niklas
Backstroms clearing attempt behind the net
and quickly fed Havlat in front for the easy
goal with Backstrom scrambling to get back
in position.
Torres and Pavelski then broke the game
open when they teamed up for a pair of goals
in a 22-second span early in the third period.
The rst came when Torres forced a turnover
from Jonas Brodin and then skated around the
net to beat Backstrom on a wraparound for his
rst goal with the Sharks on an assist from
Pavelski.
They stayed on for the ensuing faceoff
scored again to end Backstroms night. Torres
shot was blocked and went right to Pavelski in
the slot, who scored his 14th goal of the sea-
son.
Couture added his second against Darcy
Kuemper on an assist from Havlat midway
through the third.
The Sharks took a 1-0 lead after the rst
period when Niemi stopped Jason Pominville
on a breakaway shortly before San Jose capi-
talized on a fortuitous bounce. Havlats cen-
tering pass to Logan Couture deected off the
stick of back-checking Mikko Koivu and into
the net to give the Sharks a 1-0 lead.

NEW YORK Peyton Manning back in
Indianapolis in a Broncos uniform.
Peyton vs. younger brother Eli in another
Manning Bowl.
Andy Reid returning to Philadelphia: Let
the booing begin now?
The NFL schedule is lled with return visits
and intriguing matchups, beginning with a
road game for the defending Super Bowl
champions.
And Peyton Manning will be part of that
too, as the Baltimore Ravens travel to Denver
for the now-traditional Thursday night opener
on Sept. 5. The Orioles are home that night
and Major League Baseball could not move
their game.
So $121 million quarterback Joe Flacco and
his fellow champs were sent to Denver to
face Manning and the team they beat in dou-
ble overtime on their way to the Super Bowl.
It still bites on everybody, Broncos receiv-
er Eric Decker said. Its tough to kind of
relive that game, especially the opportunities I
think we left on the eld. Its going to de-
nitely re us going into this year.
New York Jets coach Rex Ryan, who spent
10 years as an assistant in Baltimore, seemed
most interested and was annoyed by the
Ravens being forced to kick off the season on
the road.
I think that the world champs can open up
at home and thats where I think they should
open, at home, Ryan said. I think it is com-
mon courtesy. I dont know what gets involved
in that. I am not in charge of it, but if I would
have been, the Ravens would be opening at
home.
If baseball had only 16 games, I might
understand it. But just as common courtesy
maybe (the Orioles) say, Ill play this one on
the road. Just from a fan perspective of
sports.
In Week 2, Peyton visits Elis house.
Both Manning brothers often have said its
uncomfortable yet memorable playing against
each other; its only happened twice, with
Peyton and the Colts winning. Even though
Peyton now is a Bronco, the dynamic is
unchanged for the star quarterbacks.
We havent talked about it a whole lot, Eli
said. More kind of joking and jabs at each
other, but obviously anytime you play your
brother it is special. It is unique and I cherish
those moments whether before the game or
looking across during the national anthem and
seeing my big brother and seeing him at the
coin ip; those are great moments that well
cherish.
The folks in Indy cherished having Peyton
Manning as their record-setting quarterback
for 13 seasons; he sat out 2011 after several
neck surgeries, then was released by the Colts
and signed with Denver. The reception he
almost certainly will receiver at Lucas Oil
Stadium will be warm and loud.
Its always fun when you spend time at a
place and then go back, said Colts kicker
Adam Vinatieri, who has done that in
Foxborough four times. Im sure hell get a
standing ovation right when he comes out.
Hopefully, it will be loud and the fans will
make it hard for him (to call plays).
Like they do in Philadelphia for both
teams.
Reid jokingly acted surprised about the
Chiefs Week 3 trip to the City of Brotherly
Love and, at times, venom for the coach of
the Eagles, which Reid was for 14 seasons.
Reid and the rest of the Chiefs knew about it
long ago, and they got the Thursday night
spotlight.
Were playing Philly? said Reid, hired by
Kansas City days after being red in Philly.
Nah, itll be an exciting atmosphere. It
always is at Lincoln Financial Field there. But
right now, Im a Chief, so were going to get
ourselves ready to play, whenever and wher-
ever we have to play this season.
Other high-prole games:
The Sunday night season opener is the
Giants at the Cowboys, and the Monday night
doubleheader has Philadelphia at Washington
with or without Offensive Rookie of the
Year Robert Grifn III, who is rehabilitating a
major knee injury then Houston at San
Diego.
I will say this: Here comes the challenge
again, Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. We
didnt play as well last year on the road as we
had in previous years and so thats a great
challenge for our team.
Thanksgiving Day has Detroit hosting
Green Bay once an every-year occurrence
and Dallas at home for Oakland.
Its an incredible tradition, playing on
Thanksgiving Day, Packers coach Mike
McCarthy said. Its a blessing for everyone
involved. Were fortunate enough to still be
home in time to share in the importance of the
day.
The holiday night game features one of
footballs most intense rivalries: Pittsburgh at
Baltimore.
Rematches of 2012 championship games
come on Sunday night, Dec. 22, with New
England at Baltimore, and the next night, with
NFC winner San Francisco at Atlanta in the
nal Monday nighter of the season.
Buffalos annual home game in Toronto
will be against the Falcons on Dec. 1.
London will host two previously
announced matches: Minnesota hosting
Pittsburgh on Sept. 29, and Jacksonville host-
ing San Francisco on Oct. 27.

NEW YORK Derek Jeter will be
sidelined until after the All-Star break
because of a new fracture in his bro-
ken left ankle a blow to a New York
Yankees team already reeling from
injuries and one that raises long-term
questions about
the 38-year-old
s h o r t s t o p s
future.
Yankees gener-
al manager Brian
Cashman said
Jeter should be
able to resume
his rehabilitation
when the new
crack heals, in
about four to eight weeks. Cashman
has repeatedly maintained the 13-time
All-Star should be able to return at his
previous level of play.
Jeter will not require surgery for the
break, Cashman said after speaking
with Dr. Robert Anderson, who oper-
ated on the Yankees captain on Oct.
20.
He told me 95 percent of the peo-
ple that have this, they come back
from it ne. You just have to back off,
Cashman said.
But its a setback, so its not a good
situation, he said.
Then again, the Yankees and Jeter
repeatedly said all winter that he
would be ready to play on opening
day. And Jeter, whose range already
has declined, turns 39 on June 26.

3 for 4 with a pair of doubles, collecting three
RBIs and scoring three runs. Chris Ortiz was
2 for 4, with a two-run double in the four-run
second. Drew Tweedy, batting in the No. 9
position, was 2 for 3, with a pair of RBIs and
two runs scored. Gonzalo Rodriguez came off
the bench in the fth inning and still managed
to collect two hits, two RBIs and a run scored.
Were winning games as a team, Uhalde
said.
Taylor Sanft was San Mateos most produc-
tive hitter. His sacrice y in the rst inning
drove in Sergio Noriega, who had a one-out
double and moved to third on Melvin Browns
single. He then jump-started the Bearcats
two-run sixth inning after Crowell had been
lifted for a reliever. Sanft crushed a one-out
double, went to third when Anthony
Valenzuela reached on an error and scored on
a Memo Gomez groundout. Valenzuela would
eventually score on a balk.
When a team is facing an obviously over-
matched opponent, its not uncommon for the
superior team to start getting away from their
approach at the plate because suddenly every-
one is looking to pop one. Uhalde said it was
easy for his players to maintain their focus
because the Sequoia coaching staff is always
evaluating its players.
We have two or three guys at every posi-
tion. Were so deep as a team. It doesnt mat-
ter what the score is. Theyre working for
playing time, Uhalde said. Opportunities are
precious. The scoreboard doesnt matter.
With the win, Sequoia remains one game
behind Ocean Division leader Mills. Uhalde
and the Cherokees know that if they stumble
now, winning a title becomes remote. But
Uhalde believes he doesnt have to worry
about his team overlooking any opponent.
The only pressure is self imposed by the
simple fact we started (the season) 0-5,
Uhalde said. These guys like playing with
each other and they know theyre not good
enough to sleep on any team.
If we dont come to play, anyone can kick
our [butts].

SEQUOIA
coach Joe Sparaco. She keeps hitters off bal-
anced and thats what we asked her to do. She
did a fabulous job.
For a moment there, it looked like it was a
fabulous job that might earn her the win. An
error to start the fourth allowed Nicole Horita
to reach rst and Cerreta homered to deep
center eld. Annalise Di Santo followed with
a single up the middle, and shed score when
the Burlingame defense tossed the ball around
for a moment in the frame. Just like that, the
Dons were up 3-1.
These girls have a lot of heart, Sparaco
said. We had our share of drama during the
week and for them to come back and play as
well as they did is a tribute to them as athletes.
And the school needs to understand how
proud they need to be of these girls when they
put forth the kind of effort they did today.
Unfortunately for Aragon, Burlingames
talent was just too much.
With one out, Lunghi walked to start a
three-run rally, punctuated with RBI knocks
by Rachel Topper and a two-out, two-run sin-
gle by Melissa Guevara to give the Panthers
the lead, 4-3.
Aragon came back in its half of the fth and
got the equalizing run on a Courtney Ching
single, but back came the Panthers behind
Raine Armanino and Lunghi singles to retake
the lead and never let it go.
Armanino took over for Ailand after four
innings of work.
The rst couple of innings, she was on
re, McKeever said of Ailand. The heat I
think got to her a little. Sometimes, these girls
dont hydrate and they started putting a heavy
bat on the ball. Raine came in and nished the
game nicely.
I think our defense was pretty solid,
Lunghi said. I think all around, when we
needed the out, we got it and I think that was
important in keeping the game close because,
with the amount of runners they put on, they
couldve scored more runs.
Burlingame tacked on three more runs in
the seventh behind Sydney Oliver, Kat
Marcan and Lunghi singles.
Its really big because against Sequoia, we
kind of overlooked them, Lunghi said. We
decided the next day at practice that we need
to treat ourselves like the underdog in every
game. And we have to go out there every
game like were going to get killed. And we
have to have that mentality that we need to
ght until the end. I think this win today real-
ly helped.
BGAME
Every series Ive ever been a part of, the
best team has won, he said. Phil Jackson
didnt, to me, outcoach Larry Bird. He won.
He did an incredible job. (The Lakers) had the
two baddest boys on the oor in Shaq and
Kobe.
Meager expectations also are keeping the
Warriors loose.
Lee posted a photo on Twitter in the after-
noon of ESPN magazines preseason predic-
tion, which gave Golden State a zero percent
chance to make the playoffs. Even though the
Warriors nished 47-35 and made monumen-
tal strides on defense and rebounding this sea-
son, they are still treating themselves as the
underdogs in this season.
Then again, the Nuggets won an NBA fran-
chise-best 57 games and became just the 11th
team in league history to lose three or fewer
home games in a season. They nished 38-3 at
the Pepsi Center, part of the reason Golden
State left a day early to adjust to the altitude in
the Mile High City.
I dont think anybody expected us to be
in this position, Lee said. We were talk-
ing last night, most of us were deciding
(last year) which beach we were going to
this weekend, are we going to ship the car
out for the summer or leave it here for
another week. Last night felt like it was just
another game we were finishing with and
beginning our new journey. Im the most
excited guy in this gym right now.
Getting too anxious is also part of the con-
cern, especially in a series where both teams
like to push the pace.
Denver led the league with 106.1 points per
game this season. Golden State was seventh
with 101.2, including Stephen Currys NBA-
record 272 3-pointers this season.
Veterans such a Bogut, Richard Jefferson,
Jarrett Jack, Carl Landry and Andris Biedrins
the only player still on the roster when
Golden State upset top-seeded Dallas in 2007
have tried to offer advice to teammates
about what to expect in the playoffs. Mostly,
its just to keep doing what got them to this
point.
Its not like you can tell them, Its this or
its that, Bogut said. At the end of the day,
its 5-on-5 basketball. You still have to get
stops to win games. Its just everything is
magnied because theres more media atten-
tion and the games are all sold out. I dont
think the game changes. I think the environ-
ment around the game changes.
Curry watched his dad, Dell Curry, in the
playoffs growing up. The last time he attend-
ed a playoff game was in his hometown of
Charlotte, N.C., when the Orlando Magic
swept the Bobcats in four games in 2010.
While he has never played in the NBA play-
offs, Curry has often been at his best in the
biggest games of his career.
Curry dazzled at Davidson, leading the tiny
college to the regional nals in 2008. He has
also scored a career-high 54 points in a loss to
the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Feb.
27 and had 47 points in a loss at the Lakers
last Friday.

ISLAMABAD Former
Pakistani military ruler Pervez
Musharraf ed court in a speeding
vehicle Thursday to avoid arrest
after his bail was revoked in a case
involving his decision to re senior
judges while in power over ve
years ago.
The harried escape broadcast live
on Pakistani TV marked a new low
in Musharrafs troubled return from
exile last month to seek a political
comeback in the May 11 parliamen-
tary election.
Musharraf made his exit with the
help of bodyguards, who pushed
him past policemen and paramili-
tary soldiers and helped him into a
black SUV that sped off with a
member of his
security team
hanging on the
side of the vehi-
cle. Lawyers
taunted the 69-
year-old as he
roared away,
yelling, Look
who is running!
Musharraf is
running!
The car carrying the former mil-
itary strongman dashed to his lux-
ury farmhouse, which is protected
by high walls, razor wire and
guard towers. Dozens of police
and elite commandos blocked the
main road that runs to the com-
pound on the outskirts of
Islamabad, keeping a crowd of
journalists and onlookers at bay.
About 20 Musharraf supporters
held banners and shouted slogans.
None of the security forces pro-
tecting the compound made any
move to arrest Musharraf, likely
because they were awaiting orders
from senior ofcials trying to gure
out how to deal with a delicate situ-
ation. Musharrafs legal team said
they would appeal the arrest warrant
in the Supreme Court.
A lot of people are going to
demand to know why he escaped
the custody of the security forces,
said Rasul Baksh Rais, a political
science professor at Lahore
University of Management
Sciences.
Pakistans government seems
reluctant to wade into the controver-
sy surrounding Musharraf, especial-
ly given his connection to the army,
considered the most powerful insti-
tution in the country.

KARACHI, Pakistan When
Bindiya Rana, a transgender candi-
date in Pakistans elections, went
door to door in the Karachi slum she
hopes to represent, few people
seemed to care about which gender
she identies with. They were more
interested in what she was going to
do to combat the street crime and
electricity outages in their neighbor-
hood if elected.
For the rst time in Pakistans his-
tory, transgender people are running
as candidates. The development
marks a sign of progress for trans-
gender people in this conservative
country, where they have long been
met by abuse.
Transgender refers to people who
present themselves to the world in a
way that does not correspond with
their sex at birth. In Pakistan, that
usually means people born as men
who now dress like women and
wear makeup. They identify as a
third gender rather than as male or
female but usually ask to be referred
to by the feminine pronoun since
there is no third-gender pronoun.

In the sleek sci-fi thriller
Oblivion, Tom Cruise plays
yboy repairman Jack Harper,
a patroller of the drone-con-
trolled skies over Earth. From
a sparse dock where he lives
with his supervisor and girl-
friend, Victoria (Andrea
Riseborough), Jack makes
daily ights in his spacecraft
to the Earths barren surface.
Were the mop-up crew, he
says.
He tells us that its been 60
years since aliens invaded,
leading to a devastating
nuclear war. Though humans,
he says, won out, they had to
abandon the planets surface
(New York is buried up to the
Empire State Buildings nee-
dle), taking refuge on a moon
of Saturn. On a desolate Earth,
the only beings remaining are
hiding bands of Scavengers
(Scavs) that look something
like a cross between the
Tusken Raiders of Star Wars
and Milli Vanilli.
Monitoring the land are
white, round drones that
appear like giant, oating cue
balls from afar, but menacing
robot killers up close.
Occasionally, they need serv-
icing from Jack. He avoids
their blasters by authenticat-
ing himself, but as they bleep
and blork, he cowers anxious-
ly not entirely certain
theyre on the same team.
His faith is greater with
Victoria, who guides his
movements from her comput-
erized desk. Her superior
(played with a folksy
Southern accent by Melissa
Leo) is seen only in scratchy
video communiques.
We have seen many of the
elements of Oblivion in
countless science ction tales.

LOS ANGELES Twitter has launched a
service that lets people nd music they like and
tweet songs from iTunes, Spotify and Rdio.
Twitter said in a blog post that an app will be
available for download from Apples online
store Thursday. A Web version also rolled out
Thursday. Twitter said the service will eventu-
ally be available on Android devices as well.
The service uses information from Twitter
chatter to detect popular tracks as well as new
artists. Users who follow musicians can see
other artists those musicians follow and can
listen to 30-second clips of songs by them.
Tapping the play button on an image of an
artist plays a clip from one song picked to rep-
resent them. In the case of Gotye, for example,
a tap plays a preview of Eyes Wide Open.
Users can tap another button that opens iTunes
where they can buy the track. Or they can play
full songs by signing up for a $10-a-month
subscription from Spotify or Rdio.
While users can tweet what theyre listening
to and add a few characters of comment, they
have to go back to the regular Twitter app for
normal Twitter functions. However, the people
youre following and whos following you are
integrated across both apps.
The music app is strikingly more visually
appealing than the regular Twitter app. Squares
of photos of artists ll the screen and bounce
around in response to swipes. The app also
starts a turntable spinning with a little picture
of album cover art when playing a song.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Conductor Eric Kujawsky likes big, heavy,
complicated modern symphonies. Thats
why the Redwood Symphony, of which he is
music director, performs composers like
Mahler and John Corigliano. Last Saturday
at Caada College, it was the turn of
Christopher Theofanidis, a contemporary
American composer whose Symphony No. 1
Kujawsky heard on CD and decided to pro-
gram.
This symphony is a large, sometimes bru-
tal work with weird and fascinating combi-
nations of sounds. The first movement fea-
tures a recurrent theme that seems Native
American in style. Its first played by an
unearthly combination of massed oboes and
clarinets, and later reappears all over the
orchestra. But the most captivating part of
the movement, and the work, is an interlude
of slowly cohering fragments for brass and
percussion.
The second movement begins with a string
theme that Benjamin
Britten might have writ-
ten, and then transmutes
into something like fanta-
sy adventure movie music
1960s Japanese
Godzilla flicks, perhaps.
Then comes a quick rough
scherzo.
The finale begins, and
ends, with a timpani solo
and, in between, features much gruff rum-
bling and growling for the lowest-pitched
instruments in the orchestra, as if it had been
composed by a bear.
At times, huge walls of dissonance roll out
toward the audience. Even when its quiet,
the music is never ingratiating, though the
weird sounds are mesmerizing. Kujawsky
told the audience that he expected we would
like this work. I dont think its capable of
being liked, exactly. You have to be friendly
and approachable for that. But it sure is awe-
inspiring.
All four movements end quizzically, with-
out big bangs. So Kujawsky
capped the symphony with an
encore of the angular Dance
of the Knights from
Prokofievs Romeo and Juliet.
This famously harsh dance fit
perfectly with the mood,
though next to the
Theofanides it felt almost
meek.
That comparison will
give you an idea of what
the symphony sounded
like. On the noisy scale in
which Aaron Jay Kernis is
a 10, this gets an eight.
Only the denizens of rock
arenas would remain
unimpressed.
Being ingratiating at
this concert was the job of David Garner, a
professor at the San Francisco Conservatory
who recently arranged Six Persian Songs
thats the pieces title for soprano and
orchestra. The soprano was Iranian expatri-
ate Raeeka Shehabi-Yaghmai, Garners for-
mer student, who brought the songs to his
attention.
A professional opera singer used to per-
forming in Italian, Shehabi-Yaghmai looked
delighted to be bringing us songs familiar to
her, sung in her own native tongue, for a
change (English supertitles were provided).
The four traditional and two modern
melodies were well served by Garners
orchestration. He provided graceful counter-
melodies in a light scoring that did not inter-
fere with the clarity or audibility of the
voice, except deliberately in the concluding
bouncy paean to the attractions of Kurdistan.
Much of the backing was for harp or light
winds, giving a bit of a French sound to the
music. The cultural mixture of Persian and
traditional Western is just what Shehabi-
Yaghmai was looking for when she enlisted
Garner. Their goal, as they explained in a
pre-concert talk, was to mix the two styles
thoroughly as artistic rapprochement
between Iran and the Western world.
The six songs varied in mood; dancing,
romantic and sad. Most successful was My
Homeland, an exiles lament by Davood
Sarkhosh. Garners scoring was at its best
here. The orchestra builds up strongly, with-
out either covering the soprano or feeling like
its only popping up when she stops to take a
breath. Shehabi-Yaghmai sang with passion.
The French sound made a further appear-
ance in the concert in Claude Debussys
Petite Suite. This is an early work of
Debussys, tuneful and charming. The
Redwood Symphony performance was fine
in the winds. The strings betrayed more of
the orchestras amateur status. Yet they gave
the music the gentle lilt that makes it work.
Redwood Symphonys next show is a con-
cert performance of Stephen Sondheims
classic grisly operatic musical, Sweeney
Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,
June 1 and 2 at Caada College. Tickets and
information at www.redwoodsymphony.org.

STUCK ELEVATOR AT
AMERICAN CONSERVATORY
THEATER COMPRESSES 81
TERRIFYING HOURS INTO
81 ELECTRIFYING MINUTES.
In 2005, a Chinese deliveryman
was trapped in a Bronx elevator for
81 hours, hoping for help, yet
afraid of what being rescued by the
authorities might mean, because he
was an undocumented immigrant.
Stuck Elevator, in its world pre-
miere at A.C.T., transforms his
ordeal into a completely sung
series of solo and ensemble per-
formances that vividly depict both
his mental and physical deteriora-
tion as well as his life outside his
temporary cage. An unflinching
and entirely mesmerizing look at
one mans search for the American
Dream. Directed by Chay Yew.
Libretto by Aaron Jafferis. Music
by Byron Au Yong. One hour and
21 minutes with no intermission.
Through April 28.
STAGE DIRECTIONS: A.C.T.
is located at the Geary Theater,
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 tick-
et stub to receive a discount. The
theater is a relatively level four-
block walk from the Bart-Powell
Street Station (Market Street).
TICKETS: Tickets from $20 -
$85 are available at act-sf.org or
(415) 749-2228.
AN ASIDE: A.C.T. Artistic
Director Carey Perloff said, I dis-
covered this remarkable piece at
the Sundance Playwrights Lab,
where it leapt to the fore because
of its astonishing originality. Who
would have thought you could turn
the true story of a frightened
Chinese deliveryman stuck in an
elevator into a hilarious and heart-
breaking musical about hunger,
immigration, family, dreams and
duck sauce? This richly imagined
piece of musical theater is a won-
derful tribute to San Franciscos
vibrant Chinese culture and a
thrilling example of a commitment
to new work that defies the bound-
aries and uses all the tools of the-
ater to create something entirely
new.
A.C.T.S COMING ATTRAC-
TIONS: National Theatre of
Scotlands Black Watch makes its
highly anticipated Bay Area pre-
miere May 9. Inspired by inter-
views with soldiers who served in
Iraq with Scotlands 300-year-old
Black Watch regiment, this power-
ful depiction of war takes over the
long-dormant Drill Court at San
Franciscos historic Mission
Armory. Splicing together choreo-
graphed marches and Scottish bal-
lads with searing video news
footage, Black Watch captures the
layered state of being at war.
Through June 9. A.C.T. completes
its 2012-13 season with a new pro-
duction of Tom Stoppards
Masterwork Arcadia, whose
story moves between the 19th cen-
tury and the present through a
series of love stories, as characters
from both eras discover connec-
tions, unearth mysteries and unrav-
el hidden truths. May 16 - June 9.
And its not too early to start think-
ing about A.C.T.s 201314 sea-
son, which includes the West Coast
premiere of Tony Award-winning
director Frank Galatis new stag-
ing of 1776; BD Wong ((M.

But weve seldom seen them more beautiful-
ly rendered.
Director Joseph Kosinski, who based the
film on the ideas of his unpublished graphic
novel, is an expert in 3-D modeling and com-
puter graphics. His Tron: Legacy was a
critical flop for its muddled story but was
remarkable for its elegant digital architec-
ture.
This carefully organized world is thrown
when a NASA shuttle crashes with an astronaut,
Julia (Olga Kurylenko), who seems to recog-
nize Jack. His own memory has been scrubbed
but ickers with images from his past.
As the film builds, it plays with familiar
sci-fi themes of identity, memory, faith in
institutions and human nature. Little can be
said about Morgan Freemans character
without giving much away, but suffice to say
that he enters the film in shades, lighting a
cigar and wearing a cape. Yes, a cape.
Kosinski could have chucked all his visual
effects and just gone with a cape-clad
Freeman.
Analyzing the substance of Oblivion,
which declines as so many science-fiction
films do as the puzzles are solved,
inevitably diminishes the film. But for those
who enjoy the simple thrill of handsomely
stylized image-making, Oblivion is mostly
mesmerizing.
PG-13 for sci-fi action violence, brief
strong language, and some sensuality. 124
minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.
SCI-FI
By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
One minute, life is perfectly happy. The next
minute, everything comes crashing down.
Thats what happens to Walter Wells (Liam
Craig) in Julie Marie Myatts The Happy
Ones, presented by Magic Theatre.
Its 1975 in Garden Grove. Walter has a
beautiful wife and two great kids, a boy and a
girl. They live in a lovely home and have good
friends and neighbors. He owns a successful
appliance business.
Then a phone call changes his life. His wife
and children have been killed in a trafc acci-
dent caused by a wrong-way driver. He plunges
into grief.
Among others, his best friend, Unitarian
minister Gary Stuart (Gabriel Marin), and
Garys new girlfriend, Mary-Ellen Hughes
(Marcia Pizzo), try to cheer him up, but he just
wants to be left alone.
When he goes to the hospital to confront the
injured driver, Bao Ngo (Jomar Tagatac), who
killed his family, Walter rejects the Vietnamese
refugees requests to kill him.
Bao later shows up at Walters store begging
to give Walter something or to do something
for him, like cooking or cleaning. Walter reluc-
tantly relents, unknowingly setting both him-
self and Bao on a path toward recovery.
Like Walter, Bao has suffered the loss of his
wife and two children. When Bao ed Vietnam
during the fall of Saigon, they stayed behind,
only to be killed a few days later. Bao also lost
his livelihood as a pediatrician and now works
nights in a bakery.
Director Jonathan Moscone skillfully leads
his four well-cast actors along the emotional
road that Myatt has laid out for them. Craig
embodies Walters initial near-catatonia as he
somehow gets himself to work every day.
Tagatac is sympathetic as the guilt-ridden
Bao, who has his own losses to overcome.
Marin and Pizzo as Gary and Mary-Ellen, both
of whom are insecure but well-intentioned, are
good foils to Walter and Bao.
Erik Flatmos set and Christine Crooks cos-
tume design recreate the time and place, aided
by Cliff Caruthers sound design, highlighted
by popular music of that era.
The two-act The Happy Ones is a fascinat-
ing, memorable study of grief and recovery,
leavened by humor. Its well worth seeing.
It continues at Magic Theatre, Building D,
Fort Mason Center, San Francisco, through
April 21. For tickets and information call (415)

Prior to his 2007 arrest, Ayres was
well-known as president of the
American Academy of Child and
Adolescent Psychiatry and for hosting
the sex education series Time of Your
Life. Ayres received juvenile court
referrals up through 2004 even as San
Mateo police continued its investiga-
tion. Police began looking at him in
2002 after a former patient accused
him of molestation during the 1970s
when he was 13. After a U.S. Supreme
Court ruling on the statute of limita-
tions nixed criminal prosecution, the
victim and Ayres reached a confidential
settlement in July 2005. In a deposition
for the lawsuit, Ayres reportedly admit-
ted conducting physical exams of
patients as part of his care.
A 2009 criminal trial on nine felony
counts of child molestation ended with
a hung jury. A subsequent trial on his
competency launched before a second
criminal prosecution also ended with a
mistrial and prosecutors agreed he
could be committed to Napa State
Hospital. Last year, the case took an
unexpected turn when hospital doctors
concluded he was faking or exaggerat-
ing his condition and returned him to
San Mateo County. The defense fought
the move but, after a multi-day hearing,
a judge reinstated criminal charges.
But before a second criminal trial
begins in May minus the charge
stemming from a former patient now
thought to have lied or exaggerated his
earlier testimony defense attorney
Jonathan McDougall has previously
indicated a desire for a venue change or
removal of McKowan.
McDougall did not return a call for
comment but, in an earlier court filing,
claimed McKowan had indications that
the former patient lied and is herself a
witness to how others like parents and
a victims advocate injected them-
selves into the evidence.
On Thursday, Judge Beth Freeman
denied McDougalls efforts to subpoe-
na California State Bar records about
its investigation into McKowan that
was spurred by the case.
Bar spokeswoman Laura Ernde said
there is no public information on the
disciplinary investigation.
However, McKowan stipulated to
committing an act of professional
misconduct and was ordered private-
ly reproved by a State Bar Court
judge, according to a letter sent from
the Bar to the victims advocate who
made the complaint over the prosecu-
tors alleged failures such as contacting
doctors who trained with Ayres to show
he was never taught to administer
physical exams. McKowan was also
ordered to send the advocate, Victoria
Balfour, a letter and attend a one-day
ethics course through the California
Bar.
Wagstaffe also conducted an internal
investigation into McKowan but
declined to disclose its conclusions cit-
ing personnel matters.
He said adding a lawyer to an impor-
tant case is not unusual and pointed to
an ongoing murder trial in which a sec-
ond defense attorney joined just before
it started.
Ayres remains free from custody on
$900,000 bail.

Padreddii joined the San Mateo
County Harbor District, which runs both
Pillar Point Harbor in Princeton and
Oyster Point Marina/Park in South San
Francisco, in 1997 when appointed to ll
a vacancy. He was elected to a full term
the following fall and was last re-elected
in November 2012 for what he said
would probably be his last term. He told
the Daily Journal during the campaign
his goal was to make both harbors in 10
years the best its every been.
Padreddii helped establish ferry and
water taxi services at Oyster
Point/Marina Park and wanted to see it
expanded to Redwood City.
Every time fellow commissioner
Pietro Paravanno said hed enter a meet-
ing, Padreddii greeted him the same way
Wheres my sh?
It was a joke between just them, two
avid shermen who sat on the same
board, and Paravanno always had a
reply. Leo, the ocean is getting bigger.
According to those who knew
Padreddii and his lengthy commitment
to public service, the commissioners
legacy is also pretty big. So was his
commitment to family, Paravanno said.
He was a real model for family life
and public life in terms of serving the
residents of the county in such a pas-
sionate way, Paravanno said.
Padreddiis passion for getting the
ferry service running is fellow
Commissioner Robert Bernardos fond-
est memory of him.
His big dream was for additional
direct service to San Francisco from
South San Francisco. Unfortunately, he
never got to see his dream come true,
Bernardo wrote in an email, adding that
Padreddiis tremendous service will
not be forgotten.
The lifelong South San Francisco res-
ident spent more 30 years of public serv-
ice, including four years on the South
San Francisco City Council when it
planned and developed Oyster Point. He
was intensively involved in the initial
development and helped draft the joint
powers agreement between the city and
harbor for its administration. Padreddii
also served nine years on the South San
Francisco school board, served on the
San Mateo County Fair Board and had
32 years of city and state law enforce-
ment experience including FBI training
at the California Highway Patrol
Academy and as an Alcoholic Beverage
Control investigator.
Basically he has been continuously in
public service all these years. He was
very well-known and will be missed by
many people, said Harbor District
General Manager Peter Grenell.
Outside of service, Padreddii enjoyed
golf, deep sea shing and hunting.
Commissioner Sabrina Brennan, who
ran in the same November election as
Padreddii said, while she did not have
the opportunity to serve with Padreddii,
she will never forget his dedication to
public service.
Padreddii is survived by his wife, son
and stepson.
Grenell said the call for applications
will happen in May.

tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Lois Loretta Burton. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by Ri-

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

jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
203 Public Notices
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: May 1, 2013 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Ctm 2F, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA

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.

contacting the county recorder's office or
a title insurance company, either of
which may charge you a fee for this infor-
mation. If you consult either of these re-

very short in duration or that occur close
in time to the scheduled sale may not im-
mediately be reflected in the telephone

LOCAL/WORLD 31
charges to which she pleaded not
guilty. In March, the prosecutors dis-
missed charges against Bogdis after
school aides who made the allegations
backed off their claims.
The situation has resulted in numerous
lawsuits. This week, the second family
of one of the children involved led a
lawsuit against the district, Bogdis and
ve of the aides.
Within the lawsuit, led by attorney
Heather Sweeney of the San Francisco-
based Dolan Law Firm, the family
claims that their 5-year-old non-verbal
autistic son was abused by Bogdis
through forced feedings, withholding of
food and water, kicking, forceful
restraints, general neglect and being
made to stand in one place for long peri-
ods of time. In addition, the family
claims their son was emotionally abused
and that the school knew of the parents
concerns prior to the February 2012 inci-
dent when the family was contacted by
police about abuse of their son.
Among the allegations are charges of
assault, child abuse, battery, intentional
iniction of emotional distress, neglect
iniction of emotional distress, neglect
supervision, neglect hiring, training,
supervision and retention, neglect failing
to recognize and report child abuse and
negligence.
Naomi Hunter, Redwood Elementary
School District spokeswoman, said the
district has yet to be served and cannot
comment on the case.
The latest suit joins six others led in
October one from the parent of a boy
allegedly kicked and deprived of food,
the others from ve instructional aides
who lost their jobs after the case came to
light.
Bogdis, a ve-year employee of the
district, was accused of slapping a stu-
dent, twisting a students wrist and kick-
ing the back of a chair, causing a desk to
move forward and strike a student. She
was also accused of depriving a child of
food and kicking a child in the stomach.
The two victims alleged in the crimi-
nal case were her students at Roosevelt
Elementary School where she taught a
group of 3- to 5-year-old developmental-
ly challenged children. The day after
Bogdis initial arraignment in March,
district officials said an independent
investigation showed six employees
knew of the possible abuse but did not
alert anybody as mandated by law.
After Bogdis arrest, she was placed
on administrative leave and has a court
order barring her from campus, its
employees and all students.
Ms. Bogdis is still an employee of the
Redwood City School District, and is
serving in a non-classroom position.
Due to our obligation to protect the pri-
vacy of staff, we are not able to share
further details of her employment, said
Hunter.
BOGDIS
ly members of the suspects, he said.
Though it may be difcult, the nation is
counting on those with information to
come forward and provide it to us.
They looked much like typical college
students, but DesLauriers described them
as armed and extremely dangerous, and
urged anyone who sees or knows them to
tell law enforcement and do not take any
action on your own.
The break in the investigation came just
three days after the attack that killed three
people, tore off limbs and raised the
specter of another terrorist attack on U.S.
soil. FBI photo-analysis specialists have
been analyzing a mountain of surveil-
lance footage and amateur pictures and
video for clues to who carried out the
attack and why.
The volume of information is likely to
grow, joined now by a torrent of tips from
people who think they might know the
suspects. In releasing the images, the FBI
gambled that useful clues will emerge,
not just time-wasting leads.
Authorities are selective in putting out
images of suspects because doing so risks
tipping off the hunted and losing the ele-
ment of surprise. But it can be a last resort
when authorities hit a wall trying to iden-
tify or capture someone.
Within moments of the announcement,
the FBI website crashed, perhaps because
of a crush of visitors.
The images were released hours after
President Barack Obama and rst lady
Michelle Obama attended an interfaith
service at a Roman Catholic cathedral in
Boston to remember the dead and the
more than 180 wounded in the twin blasts
Monday at the nish line of the 26.2-mile
race.
The FBI video is a compilation of seg-
ments, altogether about 30 seconds long.
The planting of the backpack, as
described by authorities, was not part of
the footage made public.
The man in the dark hat was dubbed
Suspect 1 by the FBI and appeared to be
wearing sunglasses. The other, in the
white hat, was labeled Suspect 2. Both
appeared to be wearing dark jackets. The
FBI did not comment on the mens
height, weight or age range and would not
discuss their ethnicity.
It would be inappropriate to comment
on the ethnicity of the men because it
could lead people down the wrong path
potentially, said FBI agent Greg
Comcowich, a spokesman for the Boston
FBI ofce.
The enlarged pictures of white-hatted
Suspect 2 in prole and head-on were
blurry but still remarkable in their detail
and more revealing than those of
Suspect 1.
While authorities said the information
on the men began coming together over
the previous day or so, agent Daniel
Curtin said the FBI did not release the
photos earlier because its important to
get it right.
Distribution of the images brought both
encouragement and unease to some
Bostonians.
Jennifer Lauro of Topseld, Mass.,
worried that the photos might breed fear
and suspicion.
It just looks like a college kid, so I
think thats going to make people feel
vulnerable, she said. Because it could
be anybody. It looks like any kid from
Boston College or Boston University or
any other school.
Judy and Marc Ehrlich watched the
marathon from a spot between miles 25
and 26 on Monday and felt the ground
shake when the bombs exploded. The
couple said it was creepy to see images of
the suspects who were there at the same
time, walking around. But they were
comforted that the FBI had come up with
suspects.
Unless they kill themselves, theyre
going to get found, Marc Ehrlich said.
He added: Theres nowhere in the world
to hide.
James Kallstrom, who headed the FBI
ofce in New York City in the 1990s, said
you get a million phone calls when the
public is asked for help. But thats why
you have 1,000 people working for you.
The key is to have a good ltering sys-
tem. Theres going to be a whole bunch of
these things you just disregard, he said.
At the Cathedral of the Holy Cross ear-
lier in the day, Obama saluted the resolve
of the people of Boston and mocked the
bombers as these small, stunted individ-
uals who would destroy instead of build
and think somehow that makes them
important.
BOSTON
Obama honors victims
of Boston bombings
By Julie Pace
BOSTON Called upon to console a grieving city and reas-
sure a shaken nation, President Barack Obama on Thursday
promised that Boston would run again
after deadly twin bombings at its famous
marathon. More than 2,000 people rose in a
standing ovation in the Cathedral of the
Holy Cross and sang America the
Beautiful.
Obamas message of resolve in time of
tragedy was echoed by Mayor Thomas
Menino and Gov. Deval Patrick at a packed
interfaith service.
Nothing will take us down because we
take care of one another, Menino said.
Even with the smell of smoke in the air and blood in the streets
and tears in our eyes, we triumphed over that hateful act.
Three people were killed and more than 170 others were
injured, some of them grievously, in Mondays bombings near
the races nish line.
Obama spoke just hours before the FBI released photographs
and video of two suspects and asked for the publics help in
identifying them.
In the midst of an emotional and trying stretch for the country
and his presidency, Obama vowed to track down those respon-
sible and lauded Bostons undaunted spirit.
Your resolve is the greatest rebuke to whoever committed
this heinous act, he told the gathering.
Indeed, Obamas words underscored the stark reality that has
left many Americans jittery. Even as authorities narrowed their
search to two men captured on video, the suspects remained at
large and their motives were still a mystery.
For Obama, the bombings began a week consumed not only
by terror but also disaster and political defeat. Letters sent to
Washington ofcials, including Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker,
R-Miss., were found to contain traces of poisonous ricin in tests,
evoking eerie parallels to the anthrax attacks that followed the
terror of Sept. 11, 2001.
