Killer to die in prison

Jury reaches guilty verdict,gives life sentence without parole for 2002 Millbrae murder
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Former San Mateo star athlete and accused killer Kenneth Earl Watson claimed he was never convicted of something he didnt do, according to a letter presented to jurors weighing whether he ended a 2002 crime spree with the fatal shooting of 25-year-old acquain-
Kenneth Watson
tance Damon Whitney. By that theory, Watson killed Whitney on We d n e s d a y, after two days of deliberations, the jury convicted him of rstdegree murder
plus the special allegations of shooting from a moving vehicle and discharging a rearm causing death. The verdict means Watson, 37, will be sentenced to life in prison without parole. He also receives an additional 25 years to life for the use of a gun. Watson is no stranger to incarceration; he was recently paroled when prosecutors say he embarked on
weeks of crimes in summer 2002 ending in Whitneys death and in 2005 he moved straight from a fouryear term for one of those offenses to the county jail after prosecutors charged him with murder. Aside from formal sentencing which will be scheduled at a March court appearance yesterdays verdict essentially closes the chapter on the man who in 2002 was con-
sidered the most wanted man in San Mateo County. Watson spent the better part of two days on the stand, denying any involvement in Whitneys death, and implying he may have been set up by prosecution witnesses with whom he stayed and used methamphetamine that summer. Defense attorney Jeff Boyarsky, too, told

Youth in Government Day gets young people involved, thinking

If passed, a one-eighth cent sales tax earmarked for county parks would mean an additional $650,000 annually for 20 years. Eighteen-year-old Depkia Narewatt, a South San Francisco High School senior, has one week to gure out what the city could do with such funds if voters approve it in June. Narewatt is not a new consultant for the city. She is, however, one of 20 South San Francisco seniors getting a rst-hand look at local politics during the 28th annual Youth in Government Day. The event is a collaborative effort between the city and the South San Francisco Unied School District to allow high school students to role play the positions of elected ofcials and key staff members. Its a fantastic opportunity for students to learn about government and get engaged, said government teacher Ashley Gray. This year, students participating came from South San Francisco, El Camino and Baden high schools. Students are chosen from an essay. They are not given extra credit to participate. Its purely an educational opportunity, he said. Students are then paired with councilmembers and department heads for a day of one-on-one shadowing. On Wednesday, March 5 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. the students will hold a council meeting allowing staff reports to be heard.

Money might be flowing, but Burlingame bills growing

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As more money rolls into Burlingames budget than expected, so do the bills. The city now anticipates ending the year with $47.14 million instead of the $45.76 in the adopted budget. Likewise, the bills went up from $42.62 million to $43.12. Revenue growth is good but our expendi-

ture growth is even better, said Finance Director Jesus Nava. At a budget study session last night, the City Council directed staff to be extra conservative in the upcoming year. Overall, the city seems to be telling a familiar story:
It still does not have the $4 million minimum needed annually to fund capital improvements. That will remain at $2.5 million. Sales tax is falling a bit short of the 5 percent goal this year causing a drop in next years anticipated growth to 2 percent. And employee costs are rising steadily. As a result, the year ahead will come with little frills.
A San Mateo plan to track residential speeders with cameras and issue tickets may be working for other countries and cities across the United States but here in California, the idea is speeding toward a brick wall. Unless a state legislator introduces a bill that would make it legal to implement that technology. Local state representatives arent too enthusiastic about putting their name to a bill that could associate them with invasion of privacy. Itll be kind of interesting to see if it can be made legal to use in residential Mike Callagy streets only, said San Mateo Deputy Police Chief Mike Callagy. San Mateo began researching ways to combat speeders after two separate neighborhoods began complaining of high speeds on Third Avenue and Hillsdale Boulevard. The main thoroughfares are seeing a spike in people who barrel past homes on their way to El Camino Real or freeways. The Police Department has nine motorcycles, yet only four are used by current trafc ofcers. For the rst time in at least a year, the department is fully staffed for trafc ofcers. Injuries dropped trafc ofcers to two for the city with a population of 94,000. The newest trafc ofcer graduated motorcycle school approximately two months ago,

People in the news

William F. Buckley Jr., erudite author dies at 82
NEW YORK William F. Buckley Jr. died at work, in his study. The Cold War had ended long before. A Republican was in the White House. The word liberal had been shunned like an ill-mannered guest. At the end of his 82 years, much of it spent stoking and riding a right-wing wave as an erudite commentator and conservative herald, all of Buckleys dreams seemingly had come true. He founded a magazine, wrote over 50 books, inuenced the course of political history, had a son, had two grandchildren and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean three times, said his son, novelist Christopher Buckley. He really didnt leave any stone unturned. Buckley was found dead in his study Wednesday morning in Stamford, Conn. His son noted Buckley had died with his boots on, after a lifetime of riding pretty tall in the saddle. His assistant said Buckley was found by his cook. The cause of death was unknown, but he had been ill with emphysema, she said. As an editor, columnist, novelist, debater and host of the TV talk show Firing Line, Buckley worked at a daunting pace, taking as little as 20 minutes to write a column for his magazine, National Review. Yet on the platform, he was all handsome, reptilian languor, flexing his imposing vocabulary ever so slowly, accenting each point with an arched brow or rolling tongue and savoring an distaste for at least some of Bushs policies. In a 2006 interview with CBS, he called the Iraq war a failure. If you had a European prime minister who experienced what weve experienced, it would be expected that he would retire or resign, Buckley said at the time. Luck was in the very bones of Buckley, blessed with a leading mans looks, an orators voice, a satirists wit and an Ivy League scholars vocabulary. But before he emerged in the 1950s, few imagined conservatives would rise so high, or so enjoy the heights. For at least a generation, conservatism had meant the pale austerity of Herbert Hoover, the grim isolationism of Sen. Robert Taft, the snarls and innuendoes of Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Democrats were the party of big spenders and Happy Days Are Here Again. Republicans settled for respectable cloth coats. Unlike so many of his peers and predecessors on the right, Buckley wasnt a self-made man prescribing thrift, but a multimillionaires son who enjoyed wine, sailing and banter and assumed his wishes would be granted. Even historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., who labeled Buckley the scourge of American liberalism, came to appreciate his wit, his passion for the harpsichord, his human decency, even ... his compulsion to epater the liberals. Buckley once teased Schlesinger after the historian praised the rise of computers for helping him work more quickly. Suddenly I was face to face with the ip side of Paradise, Buckley wrote.

Trial delayed for pair in fatal shooting

Two men accused of killing three people in a 2006 shootout at the Headquarters Bar in Redwood City pushed out their murder trial until late April to give the defense more time to nish forensic testing. By the time Rolando Fernandez, 27, and Domingo Naranjo, 19, stand trial for the April 15, 2006 melee, just more than two years will have passed since the gun battle at 895 Second Ave. which killed an 18-year-old celebrating his birthday and two others as well as leaving three more injured. The prosecution strongly objected to moving the pairs March 3 jury trial but the date was postponed until April 28. The men have pleaded not guilty to all charges which could bring life in prison without parole. In November 2006, District Attorney Jim Fox opted against the death penalty because of the defendants age, lack of criminal background and chaotic circumstances of the shooting. The case has moved slowly, despite being jump-started by a criminal grand jury indictment that switched up just what charges each defendant faced. When rst arrested, only Fernandez faced a capital trial because he was charged with multiple murders. Naranjo, who was shot in the neck by Fernandez, was originally only charged with one count of murder while Fernandez was charged with three counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder and the special circumstances. After the indictment, Naranjo was charged for the murders of Jesus Hernandez, 28, Humberto Calderon Jr., 18, and Ignacio Villalobos-Mendez, 38, assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly shooting Camillo Serrano and the special allegation of personally using a rearm in the deaths of the last two. Fernandez is charged with the murders of Hernandez and Calderon and the personal use of a rearm. The prosecution claimed Naranjo is responsible for two more murders because he reportedly began the melee in which the three died. The grand jury did not indict Fernandez for shooting Naranjo because it allegedly appeared to be self defense. Motive in the shooting remains hazy but the prosecution contends it started after two men had an argument and one called his friends for backup. Both defendants ed the scene and police stopped a blood-spattered Fernandez for questioning. After being released, Fernandez allegedly crashed his car twice and was arrested on suspicion of driving while under the inuence. Police connected him to the shooting during his booking process on the driving charge. Fernandezs charges of DUI and attempting to run over a police ofcer also remain a separate case. Both Naranjo and Fernandez remain in custody on no-bail status.

State bill aims to protect journalism advisors

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Journalism advisors could not be disciplined or replaced because of the content appearing in student newspapers under a state bill proposed by Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo. Yee will introduce the bill Friday at the National College Newspaper Convention anked by media and education ofcials. The bill follows 2006 legislation by thenAssemblyman Yee prohibiting censorship of college press by administrators and protecting
students from discipline for speech or content deemed questionable. AB 2581 made California the rst state in the nation to specifically prohibit that type of censorship and earned Yee scores of 100 percent on legislative report cards issued by the Leland Yee University of California Student Association and the California State Student Association.
Yee now wants to extend the same type of protection to those teaching journalism and advising newspapers. There are documented cases of dismissals and reassignments because of student speech, specifically in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Claremont, Fremont, Novato, Oxnard, Rialto and Garden Grove, according to Yees ofce. The bills introduction will be 10:30 a.m. Friday, Feb. 29 at the Holiday Inn Golden Gateway, Lower Lobby, Monterey Carmel Room, San Francisco.

District discusses updating facility fees

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
New facility use fees and costs for renting transportation will be discussed by the San Mateo Union High School District Board of Trustees in an attempt to break even for services used by others in the community. The districts Budget Advisory Committee began studying the real cost of things like using a eld or powering a classroom for two hours. Results of its work will be presented to the Board of Trustees tonight in hopes of setting fees that allow the
district to cover costs. Additionally, the board will revisit fees for renting vehicles to other districts to cover rising gas prices. The annual cost for running the lights around the Burlingame High School field is approximately $16,000, said Liz McManus, chief business ofcial. That comes right out of our educational program. It is critical that the facility stay open and accessible for the community, but we cant take the money out of a students education to fund someone elses program, she said. District high schools are in four
cities San Bruno, Millbrae, Burlingame and San Mateo. The district has use agreements with each city, one dates back to 1955. This will be the rst step Stephen to renegotiating Rogers those contracts to be uniform, said Superintendent David Miller. The board will discuss the potential changes tonight. A vote is planned for March 13 resulting in the basis for which the district
will use to renegotiate the use contracts. Currently, the district is losing money when other organizations use its facilities, said McManus. The report will update these numbers to include the lighting, maintenance and custodial costs. For transportation, the new numbers will take rising gas prices into consideration, she said. Ultimately, Trustee Stephen Rogers hopes to recover the districts costs while taking into consideration the various constituents using the facilities. Basically, he would be interested in a sliding
scale for fees that covers costs but also maybe goes toward a fund for repairs and replacement when the time comes. At the same meeting, the board will hear an update on the districtwide athletic elds project. The board meets 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 28 at the San Mateo Adult Resource and Technology Center, 789 E. Poplar Ave., San Mateo.

New weight room in the works for El Camino Gov. wants interventions
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A new weight room and three classrooms for $1.49 million could be added to the El Camino High School campus if plans are approved by the South San Francisco Unied School District Board of Trustees tonight. Portable classrooms currently being used as a weight room and classrooms on the campus were tagged in 2006 as a top priority for
replacement due to safety concerns. Plans before the board include replacing the current buildings with one modular building. The move would increase the square footage from 4,800 square feet to 5,080 square feet. Construction would take place during the summer beginning in June and nishing in August. The estimated $1.498 million cost $1,168,400 in site preparation, architect fees, inspection fees and
$330,200 for construction costs would be covered using developer fees and money from bond renancing. In 2006, the district renanced a series of bonds originally approved by voters in 1997. The board meets 7 p.m. Thursday, Wednesday, Feb. 28 at the district office, 398 B St., South San Francisco.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger pledged Wednesday to bring help, and possibly punishment, to 97 school districts that have persistently failed to make progress under the No Child Left Behind Act. He said the proposal he crafted with state Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack OConnell would channel some $45 million in federal money to the students who need help the most. But in the face of proposed budget cuts next year, its not clear whether that will be enough to boost the failing districts. The districts face sanctions for the rst time this year under the federal law after failing to meet their achievement goals for ve years. Collectively, they are responsible for educating about a third of Californias 6.3 million students. Its not just the funding that will
help those schools, it will be also reforming the system and switching out personnel and helping them in every way possible, Schwarzenegger Arnold Schwarzenegger said during a news conference at Northwood Elementary School in Sacramento, part of a school district that made the list. Its not like a hostile takeover; we are going to work with those schools. Its not about punishing anyone. The governor downplayed questions about how the state will pay for any changes that might be needed. He declined to elaborate on how he expects to make dramatic reforms in the states neediest schools while simultaneously proposing to cut $4 billion in education spending in the budget year that begins July 1.

not been successful, said Scottsdale spokesman Pat Dobbs. In fact, Scottsdale has consistently seen a 70 percent support for photo enforcement in public opinion polls, Dobbs said. The program has always drawn its share of public comment and controversy. It raises some issues for people about due process, Dobbs said. Scottsdale has seven combination red light cameras and two mid-block speed cameras on its city streets. It also has four mobile vans equipped with cameras that park at various spots in the city. The cameras were rst implemented after the city began noticing an spiking trend in trafc collisions at intersections. There is no law in the state of Arizona prohibiting such cameras, Dobbs said. California law currently prohibits such cameras. Scottsdale began its speed enforcement with mobile vans. The vans work much like the mobile digital radar signs San Mateo Police Department already deploys around the city. The department can decide where the van is needed most. Instead of displaying your speed on a digital sign, the camera inside the car snaps a photo of a license plate and sends the info to a system which will issue you a ticket. funds earmarked for the Burlingame High School eld and an in-kind donation of materials. Not all councilmembers were impressed with the proposal. Councilwoman Cathy Baylock was uncomfortable with the $500,000 investment. Councilman Jerry Deal was not opposed to the idea but was more in favor of addressing a project such as sidewalks. Vice Mayor Ann Keighran agreed with Deal calling sidewalks a safety issue while the park is a luxury. Mayor Rosalie OMahony, on the other hand, felt recreation facilities are just as important as sidewalks. Public Works Director Syed Murtuza reminded the council that moving forward with a ballot measure to cover sewer updates would free up capital improvement funds. City Manager Jim Nantell agreed, but requested the council consider where sidewalks fall on the priorities of capital funds. It is one item the In Scottsdale, tickets begin at $150 and go up depending on speed and previous violations, said Scottsdale police Sgt. Mark Clark. There, a violator can earn two tickets at one time if they are speeding through a red light, Clark said. However, technology has improved since the st van was wheeled onto Scottsdale streets. New technology installs sensors in the pavement that detects the speed of a car passing over it, Dobbs said. It is no longer radar enforcement. It is simply photo enforcement. And Scottsdale was not the rst to try this type of enforcement. Paradise Valley, Ariz. began using photo enforcement before Scottsdale, Clark said. Canada, England and Victoria, Australia began using the technology decades ago and the state of Maryland also used photo enforcement years ago. The number of drivers exceeding the speed limit in monitored roadways dropped by 66 percent in Victoria and 32 percent in England. Crashes declined in Victoria by up to 35 percent and up to 40 in England, according to the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. As support for photo enforcement grows city is not required to fund, he said, as compared to a list of $200 million projects the city is required to address. Also, the park money is a one-time fund versus ongoing, he said. Schwartz requested to bring back other projects he could fund with the money proposed for turf. Other proposed improvements include $45,000 for a new boiler at the aquatic center a joint venture with the San Mateo Union High School District. The library is slated to receive $39,000 to renovate the childrens rest room, counter space and a drinking fountain to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act. The council showed great interest in adding an employee dedicated to bringing in new businesses.

across the country, Redex Trafc Systems and America Trafc Solutions are battling for lucrative contracts. Locally, Redex contracts for red light camera service with Belmont. Burlingame, Daly City, Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Carlos and San Mateo, according to the companys Web site. Some of those city have only recently signed contracts and have not yet installed cameras. So what keeps cities from pursuing the speed enforcement cameras? The San Mateo City Council said it received a cool response from Assemblyman Gene Mullin, D-South San Francisco, when they pitched the idea last week. State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francsico/San Mateo, is generally not a proponent of similar ideas. [Yee]s generally not been supportive for cameras.

The Scottsdale City Council approved the use of speed cameras in conjunction with red light cameras in 1996. Since then, the city has added mid-block speed cameras and Arizona state installed six speed cameras in a select section of the freeway. It is considering the addition of 100 to 200 stationary and mobile cameras on highways in the next several years. Arizona voters will have a chance to weigh in on whether the state should utilize the cameras on its November ballot. The cameras can pull in approximately $100 million in ticket nes, which will help the state budget, but that money is straight out of the pockets of drivers who are breaking the law.

McCain and Obama tangle long distance

By Libby Quaid and Tom Raum
TYLER, Texas Republican presidential hopeful John McCain mocked Barack Obamas view of al-Qaida in Iraq, and the Democratic contender responded that GOP policies brought the tergroup John McCain rorist there. The rapid-fire, long-distance exchange Wednesday underscored that the two consider each other likely general election rivals, even though the Democratic contest remains unresolved. McCain criticized Obama for saying in Tuesday nights Democratic debate that, after U.S. troops were withdrawn, as president he would act if al-Qaida is

Karzai controls a third of Afghanistan

By Pamela Hess
WASHINGTON For Barack Obama, it is an ember that he has doused time and again, only to see it flicker anew: links to Islam fanned by false rumors, innuendo and association. Obama and his campaign reacted strongly this week when a photo of him in Kenyan tribal garb began spreading on the Internet. And the praise he received Sunday from Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan prompted pointed questions during Tuesday nights presidential debate and also in a private meeting over the weekend with Jewish leaders in Cleveland. During the debate, Obama repeated his denunciation of Farrakhans views, which have
included numerous anti-Semitic comments. And, after being pressed, he rejected Farrakhans support in the presidential race. The Democratic candidate says repeatedly that hes a Christian who took the oath of office on a family Bible. Yet on the Internet and on talk radio and in a campaign introduction for John McCain this week he is often depicted, falsely, as a Muslim with shadowy ties and his middle name, Hussein, is emphasized as a reminder of Iraqs former leader.
WASHINGTON More than six years after the U.S. invaded to establish a stable central regime in Afghanistan, the Kabul government under President Hamid Karzai controls just 30 percent of the country, the top U.S. intelligence ofcial said Wednesday. National Intelligence Director Michael McConnell told the Senate
Armed Services Committee that the resurgent Taliban controls 10 percent to 11 percent of the country and Karzais government controls 30 percent to 31 percent. The majority of Afghanistans population and territory remains under local tribal control, he said. Underscoring the problems facing the Kabul government, a roadside bomb in Paktika province killed two Polish soldiers who are part of the NATO force in the country and opium worth $400 million was seized in the
southern part of Afghanistan. That brought the number of foreign troops killed in Afghanistan to 21 this year, according to an Associated Press tally. In 2007, insurgency-related violence killed more than 6,500 people, including 222 foreign troops. Last year was the deadliest yet since the U.S.-led invasion in 2001. Ofcials estimate that up to 40 percent of proceeds from Afghanistans drug trade an amount worth tens of millions of dollars is used to fund the insurgency.

Have you got the time?

here never seems to be enough time. Just one more month. One more week. One more hour. One more minute. Every second is a precious gift, those on the downward side of life like to tell the rest of us. Use it wisely and appreciate it. But we dont, instead cramming it full of pedestrian pursuits and wishing we had just a little more to accommodate what we need to do along with a few desires. Tomorrow, due to that calendar oddity known as Leap Year, there is an extra day and even more peculiarly it falls on a Friday. Not since 1980 has such a phenomenon happened. Not until 2036 will it happen again. Think of what we will do with these bonus 24 hours: drink a few more lattes, toil through another work day, sit an extra hour or two in commuter trafc, receive more e-mails, buy more shoes online, complain that the weekend isnt arriving fast enough. In reality, the extra day this month is just another chance to do more of what we do every day and for those who are salaried do it for a little less money. But what if Feb. 29 were a national holiday or some other designation that gave us the opportunity to use the day for something out of the ordinary, something that we actually want to do? Head to the

Maybe even get really off the beaten path and go sky diving or try some unique cuisine. The idea of Leap Year implies the need to take a leap of faith or a leap from the standard path. Toiling at work as if this were the same as a nal Friday in September or June just doesnt cut it. There is one strange Leap Year tradition of which I just learned: women are allowed to propose. Some versions of the urban legend add that the objects of affection are required to say yes. Im not so sure about this. Granted, there are plenty of things I wouldnt mind asking if I was assured a positive response Will you clean my house, wash my car, take the dog for a walk, fetch me a few of those extra lattes? Does this dress make me look skinny? Am I the most amazing person in the world? Those are things that might make the day memorable. But proposing? Im of the mind that if and when I want to do that, it will be a matter of timing and desire rather than the appearance of Leap Year. And what if I change my mind about the betrothal? Is another Leap Year required to back out? If thats the case, the Pamela Andersons of the world better be pretty wary about picking their next husband on Feb. 29. Of course, if I were actually born on Leap Day instead of my real birthday, Friday would bring me only one more year toward teenage years not an appropriate age for marriage, skydiving, commuter trafc or any other such adult past times. As it is, Leap Day brings me neither a single-digit age nor the promise of playing hooky from the norm. And, the only thing I will be proposing are some more modern aspects to acknowledge the rare day.

Bill protecting journalism advisers crucial to free press

Auburn Journal
oning young journalists skills is critical to maintaining a healthy democracy. Thats why protecting high school and college journalism advisers from punitive action from administrators is critical to maintaining a free press. Senate Bill 1370, introduced by state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, would protect journalism advisers from being punished or losing their jobs because of what students publish in their school
newspapers. Students would still be held accountable for every word and picture published and subject to libel laws. But if an article that was critical of an administration policy were published, that administration could not threaten nor penalize the journalism adviser. ... Jim Ewert, California Newspaper Publishers Association legal counsel, pointed out several examples of high school journalism advisers who have been unfairly punished for what their students have published. These include articles and edito-
rials that: criticized random searches conducted on campus (South East High School, Los Angeles); reported on why 50 teachers assistants were randomly reassigned in midsemester disrupting classes all over campus (Irvington High School, Fremont); and explained why teachers were unavailable to help students (Rancho Los Alamitos High School, Garden Grove). Another article examined the contributions of African Americans during Black History month while simultaneously questioning why there needs to be a separate month
to showcase one group when American history should instead be more inclusive. (San Marin High School, Novato), Ewert said. The California Newspaper Publishers Association supports the bill and has worked with Sen. Yee to get it introduced in the Legislature and hopefully signed into law. ... Senate Bill 1370 would legally protect journalism advisers, and help ensure a free press. Legislators should support SB 1370 and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger should sign it into law.

Clarity of hindsight for Havis
Editor, I believe a challenge to your guest perspective column A Progressive Peace Plan by Don Havis is in order because it relies on so many liberal talking points full of innuendo and lacks in logic and truth. For starters, Mr. Havis makes the typical mistake of believing Iraq was somehow an innocent bystander who got mugged on the way to the store, instead of a country who had both signed and violated a surrender agreement with the U.S. and outed 17 U.N. resolutions, requiring it to provide full disclosure on his past WMD programs, which they never did. Contrary to Mr. Havis assertions, the U.S. through U.N. resolution 1441, and Congress authorization gave the President all the legal authority he needed to attack this innocent nation. I am not sure what other laws Mr. Havis wants the United States to abide by, but when Congress authorizes the United States to use force against another country, does he believe we should call up France to get their approval too? Mr. Havis analysis also ignores the obvious, while supporting the obscure, and fails to note that every single western intelligence agency believed Saddam to possess WMDs but Mr. Havis prefers to weigh the opinions of a biased UN inspector, who by the way was expelled from Iraq. The last two errors of his analysis cover the war for oil statement by Alan Greenspan and his belief that Iraq posed no threat to the U.S. Of course he doesnt take the time to read Greenspans comments in full, nor read afterwards that Greenspan said he was quoted out of context and that he supported the war for strategic reasons. But what really showed Mr. Havis simplistic and naive analysis on Iraq is that he unequivocally states that it posed no threat to us or any nation, which Im sure would have been his statement had the Bush administration decided to invade Afghanistan in August of 2001, prior to 19 hijackers on a shoe string budget, killing 3,000 of our citizens. You see, Mr. Havis doesnt provide any insight or peace plan at all. What he does is validate the clarity of hindsight while railing against those who dont have the luxury of such. crisis, failed to deal effectively with immigration and healthcare issues and deliberately exposed a CIA operative in retaliation for her husband having the audacity to challenge the experienced politicians claims about yellow cake. I dont know about you, but I think were overdue for a new experience. We cant afford any more of the negative results weve experienced at the hands of our experienced politicians. I believe Barack Obama is our best hope to turn this country around and create some good experiences for our country. Its just a shame weve had to wait so long for him.

Editor, Were hearing a lot during the presidential campaigns about the value of candidates experience. Lets think about that for a moment. Experienced politicians decided to attack Iraq after 9/11, chased Osama bin Laden (remember him?) across the border into Afghanistan and abandoned that chase to begin the illconceived occupation of Iraq and the search for non-existent weapons of mass destruction. Experienced politicians have stood our Constitution on its head with illegal wiretapping and torture, turned a record surplus to a record decit, created laws that led to the sub-prime

In a recent study, a good handful of Baywood led-foots were Hillsborough residents. We should put them on notice. There are a lot of Hillsborough violations. Maybe we should double their fines, Epstein said. Now thats one way to improve the citys budget. *** Of course, you could just ask a higher power for better budget outlook. Thats Councilman Brandt Grottes plan. Ill pray for a miracle, Grotte said of the current state budget crisis. Dont expect Councilman John Lee to join that novena. I think the miracle will be not to have any money taken away, Lee said. Always one for the last word Lee added,The last time Sacramento had a miracle, Willie Brown left office. *** Ever see that San Mateo Police officer who just parks his car near busy streets and appears to be sleeping? Thats Officer Dan Coy, AKA Officer D.Coy, Chief Susan Manheimer said Monday. Yeah, that dummy bugs us too. *** When asked whether fuel efficient motorcycle are necessary for traffic enforcement, Manheimer was most diplomatic when she answered yes. If they had a Segway that could go 65 mph with a little light beacon on top than maybe the department would consider ditching the bikes, Manheimer said.

Ralph Naders narcissistic candidacy

The Star-Ledger, Newark, N.J.
alph Nader, who is turning 74, remains as obstinate, prickly and egotistical as ever, hewing to the idea that he must run for president because dissent is the mother of ascent. Using political protest to leverage social change is a sound principle. Naders execution of it is not. His presi-
dential run in 2000 wounded Al Gore enough to help George W. Bush sneak into the White House. Events since have proven Nader was delusional when he insisted there was no difference between the major political parties. The deficit-spawning Bush tax cuts, the administrations assault on crucial environmental laws and, most tragically, the unnecessary war in Iraq Nader bears partial in the in-custody death of a Redwood City man late last year, the deceased mans relatives said.

responsibility for all of it. Naders 2000 candidacy garnered almost 3 million votes. Nearly 100,000 of them were in Florida, where Bush defeated Gore by slightly more than 500 votes.

Keplers says not now to San Mateo

Despite intense lobbying by San Mateo city ofcials, Clark Kepler, owner of a Menlo Park independent bookstore, told them the week of Feb. 28, 2003 he has decided not to move to a downtown location. Kepler had been weighing an expansion into the vacant 3,700-square-foot retail space at the train station off First Avenue since he signed a letter of intent in May. However, the economic downturn caused Kepler to pause and reassess if an expansion was a wise choice. The Menlo Park store is famous for its knowledgeable staff and wide selection. It also has regular readings by authors such as Pat Conroy, Robert Jordan, Annie Proulx and Alice Walker. Kepler had initially refused to move into the San Mateo market three times, but agreed to seriously consider it after city ofcials remained persistent. And despite a recent urry of activity caused by the opening of the downtown cinema Feb. 7, Whitecar said Kepler determined now was not the time.

Sean Pengilly, 27, agreed with Feddock, adding that he doesnt think war has anything to do with it. It seems like the Bay Area gets screwed the most, he said. Still, Feddock and Pengilly were among the droves of drivers who visited the Arco station on the corner of South Delaware Street and State Route 92 Tuesday looking for some of the cheapest gas around at $1.89 per gallon for regular unleaded. Still above the national average at $1.66 per gallon, Arco prices were a steal compared to San Francisco and San Jose where average prices were $2.11 per gallon and $1.98, respectively.

House OKs new taxes on big oil companies

By H. Josef Hebert
WASHINGTON The House approved $18 billion in new taxes on the largest oil companies Wednesday as Democrats cited record oil prices and rising gasoline costs in a time of economic troubles. The money collected over 10 years would provide tax breaks for wind, solar and other alternative energy sources and for energy conservation. The legislation, approved 236-182, would cost the five largest oil companies an average of $1.8 billion a year over that period, according an analysis by the House Ways and Means Committee. Those companies

earned $123 billion last year. Senate Democratic leaders said they would put the bill on a fast track and try to avoid a Republican filibuster. The White House said the bill unfairly takes aim at the oil industry. President Bush is expected to veto the legislation if it passes Congress. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., noted it was two years ago, when oil cost $55 a barrel, when Bush said oil companies need no government subsidies to pursue more oil or gas.
With the price of oil hovering around $100 do we really believe this incentive is justified? asked Hoyer. Do these companies need taxpayer subsidies to look for new product? They dont need any incentive. Republicans said the measure unfairly targeted a single industry. It punishes the oil and gas industry. This is wrongheaded. It will result in higher prices at the gasoline pump. Its spiteful and wrong, said Rep. Jim McCrery, R-La.
Exxon may face payout 20 years after oil spill

By Mark Sherman
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court seemed inclined Wednesday to let Exxon Mobil Corp. off the hook for some of the $2.5 billion the energy giant was ordered to pay as punishment for a massive oil spill in Alaska nearly 19 years ago. The justices questioned lawyers for the company and nearly 33,000
victims of the Exxon Valdez disaster for 90 minutes, making only one passing reference to Exxons record prots. The award represents less than three weeks worth of Exxon prot, which was $11.7 billion in the last three months of 2007. Exxon has vigorously fought to knock down or erase the punitive damages verdict by a jury in Alaska in 1994 for the accident that dumped 11 million gallons of oil into Prince William Sound.

The u vaccine has been available since the 1940s. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said all children should start getting vaccinated as soon as possible, acknowl-
edging that many doctors have already ordered their vaccine for the 2008-2009 season and may not be able to give the shots until 20092010. The u season generally starts in the fall and continues through spring. The panels advice is routinely adopted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which issues vaccination guidelines to doctors and hospitals.

SAN FRANCISCO An effort at damage control has snowballed into a public relations disaster for a Swiss bank seeking to crack down on a renegade Web site for posting classied information about some of its wealthy clients. Documents from Bank Julius Baer containing information about several bank clients, including San Diego venture capitalist Jonathan Lampitt, were posted last month on Wikileaks.org. The site purports to discourage unethical behavior by corporations and governments
by putting leaked documents online. The Web site claimed the documents showed tax evasion and money laundering schemes at the banks Cayman Islands branch. Lampitts lawyer says his client was interviewed and cleared of any wrongdoing by the FBI in 2005 after a former Bank Julius Baer employee allegedly circulated the same documents that appeared on Wikileaks. The lawyer, Jim Ellis, said he initially received a call from a bank executive alerting him to the Wikileaks posting and saying the leak was the work of the same disgruntled former employee.

Meanwhile, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac the biggest sources of nancing for U.S. home loans helped give the market some ballast after the government removed restrictions on the size of their portfolios.

Bernanke pledges to cut interest rates

By Jeannine Aversa
WASHINGTON The Federal Reserve is ready to lower interest rates again to brace the wobbly economy even as zooming oil prices spread ination, Chairman Ben Bernanke signaled to Congress on Wednesday. He is ghting to keep the economy aoat after mighty blows from the housing and credit crises, while trying to contain ination. For now, the priority is shoring up the economy, Bernanke suggested in an appearance before the House Financial Services Committee. He pledged anew to slice a key interest rate and help the economy, which many fear is on the verge of a reces-
sion, if not already in one. The economic situation has become distinctly less favorable since the summer, the Fed chief told lawmakers. Since that time, Ben Bernanke the housing slump has worsened, credit problems have intensied and the job market has deteriorated. Bernanke said that combination of bad news has made people and businesses more cautious about spending and investing further weakening the economy. The country should prepare for sluggish economic activity in the near term, Bernanke said. Concern is growing
about the possible return of stagation, when stagnant growth is combined with rising ination, for the rst time since the 1970s. Were energy prices to continue to rise at a sharp clip something the Fed does not anticipate it would create a very difcult problem for the economy, Bernanke said. Ination would spread and growth would be further restrained, he said. If that happened, it would be a very tough situation, he added. The Fed is prepared to lower rates again to bolster economic growth, Bernanke said. The Fed will act in a timely manner as needed to support growth and to provide adequate insurance against downside risks, he said, sticking closely to assurances he offered earlier this month.

Kidnapped U.S. aid Abuse reports at British childrens home worker feared dead
By Fisnik Abrashi
KABUL, Afghanistan An American aid worker and her Afghan driver kidnapped in southern Afghanistan a month ago are feared dead, a statement from their aid group said. Afghan and U.S. ofcials said Wednesday they could not conrm the report. Cyd Mizell, a native of Eureka, Calif., and driver Abdul Hadi were kidnapped in a residential neighborhood of Kandahar on Jan. 26. Mizell, 50, worked on aid projects for the Asian Rural Life Development Foundation, or ARLDF. Although we have no conrmation of their deaths, we have received information over the past few days indicating that our two aid workers have been killed, said a statement posted on the groups Web site Tuesday. Kandahars Gov. Assadullah Khalid said he did not have any
information about the case, and a U.S. Embassy ofcial in Kabul said he could not conrm the report. No group has claimed responsibility for the abductions. Although the kidnappings happened in an area known for insurgent activity, the Taliban denied that its fighters had taken the two. Kidnappings for ransom by criminal gangs in Afghanistan have been on the rise in the past year. An official with ALRDF in Kandahar said the group had received reports in recent days from two Afghan sources that Mizell and Hadi are dead. He said ofcials were working with the Red Cross to try to recover the bodies. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasnt authorized to speak to the media. Mizell was wearing a burqa the traditional all-encompassing dress worn by many Afghan women when she was taken. Mizell taught English at Kandahar University and gave embroidery lessons at a girls school.

CCS bonus coverage

very now and then, usually when Im driving home from the ofce, Ill think of a particular moment of a game I should have included in a story. Thanks to this space, I have an opportunity to address points in a game that were not included in the game story whether I forgot or simply didnt have room. Today is one of those days. There were several pivotal moments during the MenloAtherton-St. Francis boys basketball game Tuesday night that contributed to the Bears win over the Lancers. And thanks to the play-by-play stats I keep, I can return to the exact moment in the game that the incident occurred. 1:55 left in the rst quarter: M-As Sam Knapp hits a layup on the fth shot of the sequence. The Bears pulled four-straight offensive rebounds to keep the play alive before Knapp nally converted. M-A 11, St. Francis 12. 3:28 left in the game: Richard Brannings mid-range jumper hits the back of the iron, pops up high in the air, hits the front of the rim and falls in. M-A 54, St. Francis 52. 2:22 left in the game: Center Matt Aguilar, who nished with seven points, received a pass at the elbow and with one huge step drives the lane with authority and hits a nger roll. MA 56, St. Francis 52. 1:44 left in the game: Knapp all but assures the win when he takes a pass in the low post, spins and knocks down a fadeaway jumper. M-A 58, St. Francis 52. *** If you ask me, there is no better moment in high school sports than when a team wins its rst section title. There is genuine emotion, genuine happiness.

SAN JOSE If any of the Serra basketball players or coaching staff fail to report to work or school today, cut them some slack. Theyre probably still sick from a devastating 51-49 loss to Bellarmine in the seminals of the Central Coast Section Division I tournament. It was one of the toughest losses of my career, said Serra coach Chuck Rapp. The players feel the same way. With the game tied at 49 and 23 seconds left to play, Serra had the ball and the chance for the last shot. The worst-case scenario was overtime, right? Wrong. The third-seeded Padres worked the clock down to about 10 seconds before putting its offense in motion. Point guard Matt Richardson, who played most of the fourth quarter with four fouls, dribbled to the right elbow. He picked up his dribble and miraculously, the Bellarmine defense sagged off him. Richardson put up a shot that was short. The Bells grabbed the rebound with ve seconds left and outletted the ball to Niyi Harrison, who was ying upcourt as Richardson shot. Harrison caught the ball in stride and slammed home a dunk with 1.3 seconds left to give the second-seeded Bells a 51-49 lead. Serra could not manage a miracle shot and the Bells advanced to the nals. We went too soon. If you want to blame anyone, blame me. I should have called a timeout, Rapp said of his teams fateful last shot. We wanted to take the last shot. We wanted to make sure there wasnt much time left. I saw him (Harrison) leak out. I knew it was over. He had enough time. While a lot of emphasis will be put on Richardsons shot, it wasnt the Padres only chance to win the game. When Anthony DeCossio knocked down a shot with 2:57 left in the game, Serra (19-11) led 49-43.

Tigers falter in fourth

By Emanuel Lee
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Notre Dame-Belmont girls basketball team was poised to advance to its rst Central Coast Section championship game since 1999. For three quarters, the Tigers battled St. Ignatius to a virtual standstill. They were composed, playing tough and doing everything they needed to do to beat a Wildcats team that only three weeks earlier had routed them on their home oor. Then it all fell apart. Despite a game-high 26 points from Jaclyn Bisordi, host Notre Dame lost 51-40 in a Division III semifinal on Wednesday. We cant be ashamed of anything, Bisordi said. We going to [hold] our heads high. In her last game of a sparkling four-year career, Bisordi, the schools all-time leading scorer, showed why shell go down as one of the best players in Notre Dame
history. Yes, the Tigers lost, but what a way for Bisordi to go out. She single-handedly kept her team in the game, scoring 13 of the teams rst 19 points and 19 of its rst 27. With No. 3 seed Notre Dame (1812) trailing 7-2 early, Bisordi decided to take control. She hit three consecutive shots including two 3pointers capped by a tough driving layup down the lane to cut the Tigers decit to 16-14 with 12 seconds left in the first quarter. However, the Wildcats Maggie McCarthy hit a 3-pointer just before the quarter buzzer to give No. 2 St. Ignatius (19-10) some breathing room entering the second. Thats when Bisordi really started to heat up. She opened the second with ve consecutive points to make it 19-19. After the teams exchanged baskets, Bisordi gave the Tigers their rst lead after draining a 3pointer, making it 24-21 with 4:34 remaining until halftime. After a SI score, Bisordi connected on another
trey, giving Notre Dame its largest lead, 27-23. The Wildcats scored the next four points to make it 27-27 entering the third. Both teams went into a deep freeze for the majority of the quarter, but a baseline layin from McCarthy at the third-quarter buzzer was another backbreaker for the Tigers, who could ill afford to give up any extra points. Notre Dame seemingly never recovered, as it was outscored 16-7 in the nal eight minutes. It was the third loss to SI in as many games this season, but this one hurt the deepest. After shooting a respectable 9 for 23 in the rst half, the Tigers went ice cold in the third and fourth quarters, shooting 20 percent (5 for 25). SI started to center its defense around Bisordi, who didnt have nearly the space to roam as she did in the rst half. And once again, Notre Dame didnt have another player who could
Congressional committee asks for Clemens probe

By Howard Fendrich
See TIGERS, Page 16
WASHINGTON Roger Clemens failed to convince Congress he was telling the truth. So the leaders of a House committee want the Justice Department to investigate if the star pitcher lied under oath about using performanceenhancing drugs. In a letter sent Wednesday to Attorney General Michael Mukasey, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Henry Waxman and ranking Republican Tom Davis said Clemens testimony that he never used anabolic steroids or human growth hormone warrants further investigation. The seven-time Cy Young Award winner gave a sworn deposition behind closed doors Feb. 5, then spoke alongside his accuser, former personal trainer Brian McNamee, at a public hearing Feb. 13. We are not in a position to reach a
denitive judgment as to whether Mr. Clemens lied to the committee, Waxman and Davis wrote. Our only conclusion is that Roger Clemens signicant questions have been raised about Mr. Clemenss truthfulness. The letter noted Clemens testimony was directly contradicted by the sworn statements of McNamee, who said he injected Clemens with steroids and HGH at least 16 times from 1998 to 2001. Waxman and Davis also pointed to the deposition and afdavit of Clemens good friend and former teammate, Andy Pettitte, who told the committee Clemens admitted to him in 1999 or 2000 that he had taken human growth hormone.

Newest Shark picks up assist in victory

Sharks 4, Jackets 2
and was on the ice for Cheechoos power-play goal and assisted on Pavelskis. He showed that hes a player, that he wants to be on the ice all the time. Hes generally always in attack mode, Wilson said. You Brian Campbell can see hes a sneaky hitter, too. He moves pucks really well. You can see his speed. I think he will really help our power play, obviously. Campbell was playing his rst game for San Jose, which solidied its hold on fth in the Western Conference. He was picked up along with a seventh-round draft pick on Tuesday from Buffalo for forward Steve Bernier and a rst-round pick this summer. Columbus took the ice for the rst time since trading captain Adam Foote and center Sergei Fedorov. They were dealt before Tuesdays NHL trade deadline for two draft picks and a college player.
COLUMBUS, Ohio Brian Campbell couldnt let go of everything from his past. A day after he was traded by Buffalo to San Jose, Campbell had an assist in the Sharks 42 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday night. Then he packed away his equipment in his old Sabres bag. I had fun out there tonight. It was nice. Im always looking for the puck. I thought we worked it pretty good, Campbell said. Im just kind of sitting back a little and reading plays and seeing what I can and cant do in the system here. Campbell had his rst point in a Sharks sweater, Jonathan Cheechoo ran his goal streak to four games, Joe Pavelski had a goal and an assist, and Torrey Mitchell and Jeremy Roenick also scored for the Sharks, who won their third in a row and improved to 20-8-3 on the road. Joe Thornton added two assists, and Evgeni Nabokov had 17 saves. Sharks coach Ron Wilson liked what he saw from Campbell, who put in 16 solid minutes
David Vyborny ended a 24-game goal drought by scoring twice for Columbus, which started the night in 11th place in the West. As the game went on, we were devoid of emotion, Blue Jackets coach Ken Hitchcock said. Were not going to win games playing the way we did tonight. The teams traded rst-period goals. The Sharks scored with a man advantage, Cheechoo redirecting Pavelskis one-timer from the left circle before Vyborny backhanded a rebound past Nabokov. Vyborny then scored his fth of the season with an almost identical shot in the second period, backhanding another rebound high and hard past Campbell as he dived to block it. After Mitchell redirected a long shot by Matt Carle to tie it again, the Sharks scored their second power-play goal in three chances. With Columbus Rick Nash in the penalty box for roughing and a crowd of 16,029 still booing the call Thornton saucered a pass through the slot to Roenick for a onetimer and a 3-2 lead.
We had scoring from all over, Pavelski said. We got a few goals from guys who hadnt scored lately. From start to nish, it was pretty solid. Pavelski had the puck on a 2-on-1 rush at 18:52 when his pass through the slot for Tomas Plihal ricocheted off the left skate of the Blue Jackets Jiri Novotny and past Pascal Leclaire. Pavelski was credited with his 13th goal. As a team, we played really solid defensively, Roenick said. Our power play was really good. The third period we went at them, we didnt sit back, which we have done in the past. Notes: Sharks LW Jody Shelley, Columbus leader in penalty minutes who was traded on Jan. 29, received a video tribute during a rstperiod break that included clips from several of his ghts. ... G Brian Boucher was on the Sharks bench. He signed a one-year deal on Tuesday. ... Vyborny hadnt had two goals in a game since March 7, 2007, against Los Angeles. ... The Blue Jackets fell to 6-26-5 when scoring two or fewer goals. They are 231-4 when getting at least three.
release Spiezio after Zito relaxed heading into 2008 Cardinals police issue arrest warrant
By Janie McCauley
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Barry Zito stood on a back eld with fellow starter Matt Cain early into their workout Wednesday and both pitchers put their bats to their mouths then pretended to take a bite. These days, Zito is San Franciscos only Barry and he certainly seems to be relishing in the role of just being his quirky self again. He can nally do so, having found a comfort zone with his club after a rocky rst year in 2007. Zito now owns Barry Bonds old corner locker in the clubhouse at Scottsdale Stadium. If thats not a strong enough sign of the pitchers importance to the Giants, manager Bruce Bochy named him opening day starter on Day 1 of camp. No question hes still considered the ace around here. Zitos San Francisco bosses are completely condent their $126 million man will bounce back from a down year and be much more like the star left-hander who won the 2002 AL Cy Young award with 23 victories. I denitely know all the guys. Its kind of status quo, Zito said of spring training so far. Last year I felt singled out on the team and didnt feel like one of the guys. Its already tough coming to a new team and you feel
singled out. With the contract, you almost feel more singled out from the guys. Now, salaries and contracts are not things we think about or talk about in here. Barry Zito Neither are his numbers from last season discussed. Come spring, the great thing is everybody has a clean slate and all teams can consider themselves contenders. Zito went a career-worst 11-13 with a 4.53 ERA in 34 appearances, 33 starts and 196 2-3 innings last season, his rst in the National League after spending his initial seven years in the big leagues across San Francisco Bay with the Oakland Athletics. There was a ton of pressure on him last year, said second baseman Ray Durham, who played half a season with Zito on the As during that 02 season. When you get all that money, you try to go out and justify it. Zito, with his nasty curveball, struggled right along with the rest of the Giants, who had their worst season in 11 years at 71-91 and nished last in the NL West to miss the playoffs for the fourth straight season. He considered staying healthy his biggest accomplishment. Zito is known for his durability because hes
never missed a start with injury. Hes eager to get going again, and is slated to start Saturday in the Giants Cactus League game against his former As team. I feel good. My body is feeling good, Zito said. Im just working the kinks out. You cant emulate baseball shape. This season, Zito has shed the attention that comes when youre the pitcher with the richest contract ever. He was in that position until the New York Mets gave two-time AL Cy Young award winner Johan Santana a $137.5 million, six-year deal when they acquired him in a trade with the Minnesota Twins earlier this month. That changes things, too, a little bit, Zito said of Santanas big money. I got through that year and stayed healthy. It was an adjustment. It was a tough year because I didnt pitch up to my capabilities. You always learn from adversity. I want to build on my last 10 starts. The Giants are counting on Zito working deep into games and leading their young pitching staff. Bochy said Wednesday the club is leaning toward carrying three catchers and 11 pitchers which means San Francisco will need reliable outings from its rotation. Bochy is eager to see how Zito bounces back, and can already see positive signs.
IRVINE Utilityman Scott Spiezio was cut by the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday, released after police issued a six-count warrant for his arrest following a December car crash. We hope Scott will continue to seek appropriate help and wish him the best in baseball, but more importantly in life, Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said. Spiezio, who missed more than a month last year while getting treatment for substance abuse, did not play in Wednesdays exhibition game against St. Louis University at Jupiter, Fla. His agent, Barry Meister, did not immediately return a message left by The Associated Press. The warrant led Tuesday by Irvine police alleges driving under inuence, driving under the inuence with a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or more, hit and run, aggravated assault, assault and battery. Police said the accident occurred Dec. 30. The maximum penalty is two years in state prison. Weve never been able to talk to him, Irvine police Lt. Rick Handeld said. The detective has expressed an interest in having Mr. Spiezio come to California.
Spiezio won World Series championships with Anaheim in 2002 and St. Louis in 2006. He has cultivated a hard-rocking image during his Scott Spiezio 12 seasons in the majors and plays in the heavy metal band SandFrog. The 35-year-old Spiezio was entering the nal season of a two-year, $4.5 million contract. He was released the same way most players are cut, for failure to exhibit sufcient skill or competitive ability. That means the Cardinals owe him this years $2.3 million salary plus a $100,000 buyout of a $2.5 million team option for 2009 because of that, the likelihood of a grievance by the players union is small. Spiezio batted .272 in 119 games with 13 homers and 52 RBIs in 2006. Last year, he appeared in only 82 games due to injuries, illness and treatment, managing only four homers, 31 RBIs and a .269 average. When the Cardinals activated from the restricted list last September, Spiezio said, I was out of control for a while. I learned a lot and Im ready to start contributing in a good way now.

Sportsleaders dont want help in steroids battle

Joseph White
WASHINGTON David Stern was not about to back down. Summoned again to Capitol Hill to discuss whether Congress should get into the business of legislating drug testing in the major professional sports leagues, the NBA commissioner took exception to lawmakers remarks and stood up for his colleagues from the NFL, NHL and major league baseball. This is an area where federal legislation is not necessary, Stern told the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection. As big as Wednesdays hearing was it produced the rare sight of the four commissioners and their respective sports union heads sitting at the same table it was upstaged by news from another panel. The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform asked the Justice Department to investigate whether Roger Clemens lied under oath when he denied using steroids and human growth hormone at a Feb. 5 sworn deposition and at a Feb. 13 hearing. There were no players at Wednesdays hearing. Instead, the commissioners sat side-by-side with

their sports union chiefs: Bud Selig was inches away from Donald Fehr; Stern was next to Billy Hunter. Then there was the NFLs Roger Goodell and Gene Upshaw, and the NHLs Gary Bettman and Paul Kelly. All tried to persuade skeptical lawmakers that their respective leagues had taken steps to thwart steroids use and were anxiously awaiting a dependable way to detect human growth hormone, preferably through a urine test and not a blood test. In spite of the fact that they want to pronounce that they have it under control, I still think that its not fully under control, said the subcommittees chairman, Rep. Bobby Rush, D-
Ill. And we have to do more. Baseball had the most to prove, having implemented a stringent steroids policy only in the last few years. The NFL began addressing the problem some two decades ago, while the NBA and NHL say the nature of their sports is such that steroids use is virtually nonexistent. All four leagues have toughened their drugs policies since 2005, when many of the same witnesses including Stern testied before the same subcommittee. Several bills were introduced in the House and Senate after that session, but none came close to becoming law. Lets get it right this time. ... Lets go ahead and get something into law that is acceptable, Texas Republican Joe Barton said. Its no fun having this hearing every two to three years. Thats when Stern interrupted, breaching protocol to point out the progress that has been made. The sports leagues HAVE gotten it right in the intervening three years, Stern said. Rep. Marsha Blackburn was not fazed. Mr. Stern, I would suggest that we have not gotten it right enough, the Tennessee Republican said. If we had gotten it right if you all had gotten it right we would not be here again today.
David Carr released by Panthers; Muhammad returns

David Carr is out of work again. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2002 NFL draft was released by Carolina on Wednesday, the same day the Panthers brought back Muhsin Muhammad for a second stint with the team. Carr signed a two-year, $6 million deal last year after being released by Houston, the team that made him its rst-ever draft pick. He had a 58.3 passer rating with just three touchdown passes and ve interceptions after replacing the injured Jake Delhomme and was eventually replaced by 44-year-old Vinny Testaverde and then undrafted rookie Matt Moore. He did everything we asked, but
unfortunately it didnt work out like anyone had hoped or expected, general manager Marty Hurney said. Muhammad, who turns 35 in May, was the Panthers secondround pick in 1996 and spent nine seasons with Carolina before being released in a salary-cap move. He signed with Chicago and the Panthers struggled to replace him, leaving Steve Smith to face constant double-teams over the past few seasons. The Bears released Muhammad after he had just 40 catches last season. I did talk to Steve and he felt like he needs another complement on the other side of him, Muhammad said. He kind of coerced me into coming
back. He welcomed me back with open arms. ... Were excited about playing again with each other. Weve always maintained our friendship outside of football. It was another day of cuts as teams worked to create more room for the start of free agency at midnight Friday. Tampa Bay cut two veteran defensive linemen, Kevin Carter and Greg Spires, both of whom have Super Bowl rings. Carter, the rst-round pick of the Rams in 1995, won his with St. Louis in 1999. He has 100 1/2 sacks in his 13-season career, which includes six years with the Rams, four with Tennessee, two with Miami and last season with the Bucs, for whom he started 14
games. He has never missed an NFL game, playing 208 and starting 203. Spires started 87 of the 89 games he played in his six seasons in Tampa Bay, and earned a Super Bowl ring with the Bucs in his rookie season. Linebacker Rob Morris and defensive tackle Anthony McFarland, both sidelined with injuries for most of last season, were released by Indianapolis. Morris, 33, a rst-round pick by the Colts in 2000, hurt his left knee against Denver in Week 4 and missed the rest of the season. He sat out two games with an abdominal strain and then injured the knee against the Broncos in his rst game back. He was due to make $1.2 million
this year and $1.6 million in 2009. McFarland, obtained in a trade from Tampa Bay in 2006, helped shore up the Colts run defense during their Super Bowl run. He tore a knee tendon in training camp last summer and missed the entire season. A rst-round pick out of LSU in 1999, McFarland was due to receive $6.9 million in 2008. In other moves: Nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga resigned with San Francisco, agreeing to a ve-year deal to remain at the center of the clubs 3-4 defense. Sopoaga, a fourth-round draft pick from Hawaii in 2004, had a breakthrough season in 2007, making a career-high 58 tackles and 1 1/2 sacks.

ease the scoring load off Bisordi. Margaret Dowling was the teams next highest scorer with six points. Takara Burse provided excellent perimeter defense, nishing with ve steals and six rebounds. They could focus all their attention on Jaclyn, Notre Dame coach John Paye said. Unfortunately, there wasnt one player on the team to step up and give us a scoring punch. For them to get that late basket (to end the second and third quarters) created a little bit of momentum for them. So close yet so far. In a nutshell, thats been Notre Dames season. The Tigers are on the cusp of a breakthrough, beating Valley Christian this season and nearly toppling Mitty twice. However, against the West Catholic Athletic League powers, they fell short because of their inability to generate offense at the most crucial moments. Against SI, just like it has done all season, Notre Dame found trouble in the second half as the shot clock was winding down. None of the players with the exception of Bisordi on a couple of occasions could create their own shot. Still, it was a season to remember, and Paye will miss his seniors, especially Bisordi. Jaclyns always been a scorer, Paye said. Shes had some phenomenal games for us. Its fun to watch her play when shes putting the ball in the hoop. I thought Jaclyn got banged a couple of times (in the second half) and we didnt get the calls.

What killed Serra was a failure to take care of the ball when it counted most. The Padres turned the ball over 10 times in the second half alone, compared to just seven in the rst half. The Bells also came up with six second-half steals. Serras lack of rebounding on the defensive end also hurt the Padres. The Bells out-rebounded the Padres 6-3 in the nal quarter. Some of our nemeses turnovers, defensive rebounding plagued us, Rapp said. The matchup was the fourth time the two teams faced each other this season and its easy to say they dont like each other. A technical foul was called on each team, there was plenty of jawing going back and forth between the players, and as is usually the case when West Catholic Athletic League teams meet, physical as could be. Perhaps the fact these teams know each other so well contributed to a game in which the largest lead was seven points. By virtue of a 10-

team atmosphere. That made it more enjoyable. We wanted to win this very badly. We wanted to taste NorCals, but it wasnt meant to be. Mitchell and released in December. After Clemens and McNamee stuck to their he-said, he-said stories under oath, it was expected that one or the other or perhaps both would be referred to the Justice Department for a criminal inquiry. Instead, only Clemens faces a possible perjury investigation, after the committee decided not to refer McNamee. Not everybody can be right, and the preponderance of the evidence in this case points to the fact that Clemens comments are the most incongruous, Davis told the AP. We are asking Justice to see what was the truth and what wasnt the truth. The Justice Department may decide to pursue or ignore Congress request. Spokesman Brian Roehrkasse said the department is reviewing the letter and has no further comment at this time.
LOUNGE
hearty congratulations. *** Its always nice to know that people read the Sports Lounge. But when a coach confronts me about something I wrote, I always hope its about something positive. Tuesday after the M-A basketball game, M-A coach Phillip White comes out of the locker room, looks right at me and says, You in the hat. You wrote that M-A would get their revenge against St. Francis and advance to the CCS nals. Now I write upwards of ve thousand words and roughly 10 stories or columns a week. I have a hard time remembering what I ate for lunch yesterday, let alone what I wrote last week. But it nally occurred to me that in the Sports Lounge last week after the CCS basketball playoffs were announced, I did write M-A would make the nals. Thank goodness. Its always awkward when a coach calls you out for something you wrote about their team that was wrong. Or if you predicted a team to come up short in the playoffs.
CLEMENS
The contradictions and conicts in what Clemens had to say, as compared to what others had to say, raised the issues about him, Waxman said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. I dont think there was an issue about Brian McNamee, but there certainly were issues about Roger Clemens. Waxmans committee turned its attention to the matter because Clemens repeated and vigorous denials of McNamees allegations questioned the legitimacy of the Mitchell Report, prepared by former Senate majority leader George
when they win. Its more of a, ho-hum, we won again reaction. Thats why it was fun to watch the Burlingame girls soccer team clinch its rst-ever CCS soccer title Tuesday night. The girls and the coaching staff were genuinely stoked to be champions. All in all, it was a great scene the stands at Valley Christian High in San Jose were packed with Burlingame fans. They were into it all game long and the players expressed their gratitude after the game when they came over to celebrate with their fans. I was especially happy for coach Phillip De Rosa, who built the program from the dregs of the Ocean Division to the top team in the section. It took 10 years to do it, but the ear-to-ear smile on his face after the game told the story. One of the best moments of the post-game celebration was De Rosa going over to the stands to get heart-felt congratulations from a contingent of Burlingame coaches. And it wasnt just a limp-sh handshake. There were slaps on the back, rubs on the head and just overall

clothes, leading Gallagher to tell jurors that he returned to the Foothill Road home on foot after abandoning the Explorer, showered and ed again. After Whitneys shooting, 10 different law enforcement agencies, including the state Justice Department, joined forces. Berkeley police picked up Watson two days later. Watson pleaded no contest to police evasion and was sentenced to four years in prison. In November 2005, Watson was due for release after serving nearly three years. Officers picked Watson up from prison after Thanksgiving and transported him directly back to San Mateo County to face the murder charge. District Attorney Jim Fox announced Feb. 26, 2007 he would not seek the death penalty for Watson, citing his age, prior criminal history and the murders circumstances.

jurors that his client was not guilty simply because he has a criminal past and committed other crimes that summer. Boyarsky also argued that Whitney was more valuable to Watson alive because he was an easy target to be robbed of drugs and money. There are no eyewitnesses to Whitneys shooting but prosecutor Sean Gallagher built his case on circumstantial evidence including a handful of unusual Egyptian bullets, a gold Ford Explorer belonging to a friend with whom he stayed that summer and which was reportedly spotted at the Millbrae murder scene, Watsons own letters and the testimony of ve people who claimed he threatened Whitneys life the previous day. In the summer of 2002, former Aragon High School athletic star Watson was free from a
one-year prison stint for battery. He and Whitney ran in the same circles of acquaintances, most of whom used methamphetamine and some who were wanted on their own warrants. On June 17, 2002, law enforcement went after Watson, alleging he kidnapped his exwife at gunpoint, but abandoned a high-speed pursuit after deeming it too dangerous. She was released unharmed later that day. The next weeks were peppered with Watson sightings and alleged crimes while he eluded capture. On July 4, Watson allegedly broke into a Belmont home and robbed a couple before eeing. During those weeks in the summer of 2002, Watson stayed with a series of friends in a handful of safe houses, using and selling methamphetamine and avoiding police. Five of those acquaintances testied that on July 8, 2002, Watson burst into an apartment with a knife and gun and zoomed in on Whitney. Watson, they said, told Whitney Im here to show you I can get you anytime and warned both scheduled to be dedicated this year. For Narewatt its an opportunity to learn more about a topic she new little about previously. I never knew anything about government in general, she said. I enjoy leadership. I like voicing my opinion. But now I get to see the government tie-in, whats going on in general and how it affects me. Ranals gains a new perspective on topics she sees daily a process she described as exciting and fun. The pair rst looked at the projects on
the next time I see you alone youre dead. On July 9, 2002, Whitney was in his Yukon outside 187 Elder Ave. in Millbrae where he planned to follow through on a drug deal with the occupant. The occupant and two neighbors smoking on their porch heard a series of popping sounds. Whitney stumbled into the home bleeding profusely from the head and the neighbors testied seeing a gold Explorer with an open passenger window speeding down the street. Whitney collapsed without naming his attacker and was taken off life support the next day. Gallagher argued Watson borrowed the Explorer from a one of his acquaintances and later abandoned in on State Route 92 near Ralston Avenue when it ran out of gas. Criminalists recovered gun residue in the car. Egyptian bullet casings also found in the vehicle matched one found after Watsons earlier apartment break-in and at the safe house where hed been staying. That bullet was piled with Watsons dirty paper. Ranals used blueprints and plans to show Narewatt the kind of details required for a park. Theres water, electricity and landscaping. Once at the linear park, Ranals was able to point out what those little lines represented the little plants, a light-up sidewalk. There were even things that came up later like a pole placed in the middle of the walkway that can be removed in case an ambulance needs to travel down a paved path. Just the little outing opened Narewatts eyes to what the city oversees. Ranals mentioned how often, prior to working in her position,

tor, will present her ideas. Ranals and Narewatt work together on the staff report to ensure any idea is realistic and funded. The pair began the day with a small tour of projects under way and soon to start like the centennial linear park and the recreation center at Orange Memorial Park
she noticed things without really putting any thought into who should take care of a problem. The comment prompted Narewatt to ask about plants in an island on El Camino Real, an area the city maintains. There are so many new things, Narewatt said. I had no idea.

What to do in a power outage

Its the force behind your heater, your lights, your TV and computer. Its your power supply, and if you take it for granted, you might be left in the dark. When the lights go out, food also starts to spoil and heat and cold shut off often in extreme temperatures, creating a health concern for children and the elderly. And whats worse, sump pumps in basements and crawl spaces wont operate when they are most needed to discharge storm water, which can lead to thousands of dollars of damage. Being without power for few hours is a nuisance. Not having power for days, weeks or even longer can be both costly and dangerous. The good news is that an automatic standby generator can return your home to full power within seconds. It works even when youre not home. In contrast to a portable generator, an automatic standby generator senses an outage and begins to produce power immediately. There are no extension cords to plug in, gas tanks to ll or switches to ip. Even better news is that although automatic standby generators were reserved almost exclusively for hospitals, television and radio stations or the very wealthy, advances in technology have made automatic standby generators more affordable and available to mainstream
America. Automatic standby generators rank high o n Remodeling M a g a z i n e s annual Cost vs. Value Report, which measures the popularity and return on investment for h o m e improvement projects. Depending on the number of essential circuits required, homes can be protected for about $2,000 plus installation with an 8-kilowatt unit.
power, no pull cords to yank to start a generator motor and no potentially harmful carbon monoxide fumes due to the fact that the unit is permanently installed outdoors in a safe and secure location. In fact, most automatic standby generators look like the compressor for a central air conditioning system. With a little creative landscaping, youll never know its there.
JAMES AND MORRIS CAREY
Finding a fit
If you think an automatic standby generator might be for you, the rst step is to determine what systems in your home you need or want to have powered during an outage. Although you can back-up your entire home, it is typically more cost efcient to back-up essential circuits, which can include some lighting (kitchen, bathroom, basement), a sump pump, a refrigerator and/or freezer, a television, a computer, a microwave, a garage circuit (to operate an automatic door opener) and a security system. You may also opt to include a home ofce, an electric water heater (or the electrical supply for ignition for a tankless or hybrid water heater), and a well or irrigation pump. The next step is to determine the amount of power (in watts) that each of the desired systems requires. Wattage may be listed on the product if its listed in amps, multiply
How it works
Unlike a portable generator, which can be dangerous and difcult to operate, an automatic standby generator operates on your LP gas or natural gas supply. The generator monitors incoming voltage from the utility line and when power is interrupted, it senses a problem and transfers to standby power. Within seconds, the generator supplies electricity to the essential circuits youve chosen. When utility voltage returns, the electrical load is transferred back to the utility line. Sound pretty simple? It is. There are no levers to pull to activate
by 120. An electrical circuit is about 1650 Watts, a refrigerator 725, a furnace, 750, a water heater 4500-5500. To calculate lights, add the wattage of bulbs. Then add those numbers to establish the total amount of power needed, which, in turn, will determine the size of the generator needed in kilowatts (kW) each kilowatt is 1,000 watts. Most residential automatic standby generators range in size from 8kW to 16kW (though there are smaller and larger units) and retail from between $2,000 to $3,500 plus installation. Leading brands have an exercise
mode, which will automatically start the generator motor on a regular predetermined schedule typically weekly to make sure the device is operating properly. Failure will result in a warning light or alarm, which will allow for necessary maintenance or repairs. Beyond regular exercising, the oil level should be checked regularly and other maintenance performed as suggested by the manufacturer.

Five simple ways to save energy

By Joan Brunskill
THE ASSOCIATED APRESS
Its easier than you think to paint your house green. Simple changes can save resources and energy and perhaps slow global warming. A growing demand for energy efciency topped ndings from the American Institute of Architects home-design trend survey for the second quarter of 2007. The groups chief economist, Kermit Baker, said the panel of 500 architecture rms found high demand for insulation panels, tankless water heaters, geothermal heating and cooling, and green ooring products such as bamboo and cork. Warren, Vt.-based architect John Connell, a member of the institutes housing committee, said the No. 1 question he gets from confused homeowners is where to start. None of the more sexy energy-saving installations small windmills on the roof, photovoltaic panels, solar-water collectors make any sense until youve done your insulation, weather stripping and other fundamentals, he said. For the do-it-yourself homeowner, this is Connells ve-point plan for easy, immediate action:
you can recycle bulbs containing mercury. If not, the EPA suggests sealing the bulb in two plastic bags and putting it in outside trash for normal collection.
Windows
First, with a compass, identify which windows face south and which north. Use insulating shades on those windows to keep heat in or out and slow the loss of energy, Connell said. You can open and close windows and shades to help heat or cool the house, depending on season and geographical location. In the south, thermal shades work best on the outside, for a cooling effect in hot climates, he said. Theyd have to be made of materials that stand up to UV rays. In the north, shades work best on the inside, for keeping heat in.
Appliances
Taking good care of appliances has a big payoff. Everything in my life, including the car, could save energy, if I just maintain it properly, Connell said. Clean your refrigerators ventilation grill. Have your boiler, furnace, air conditioning units and clothes dryer serviced thoroughly especially if there are funny noises emanating from any of them.
Lighting
Changing to uorescent bulbs makes sense despite recent concerns about how to dispose of the small amount of mercury they contain. If you put in compact uorescent lighting today you wont have to change those bulbs for a couple of years at least and systems are quickly evolving to deal with disposal as more and more people do this, Connell said. The Environmental Protection Agency is working with bulb makers and retailers to expand recycling and disposal options. Check with your local sanitation department to see if
Recycle heat
Recycle your heated clothes-dryer exhaust through an appropriate lter into your house. Its so simple. Go to the local hardware store and ask for a bypass lter its just an 8-inch cube. You just need a screwdriver and the instructions are right on the package, he said. The bypass helps humidify and heat the house, while the lter still prevents lint and dust from getting into the air you breathe. This change also helps prevent ice build-up and rot on the outside of the house where the exhaust is vented.
Simple changes can save resources and energy and perhaps slow global warming. A growing demand for energy efciency topped ndings from the American Institute of Architectshome-design trend survey for the second quarter of 2007.
Of course, it will also raise the moisture level in the laundry room, so remember to leave that door open. Weatherstrip every door and window in your house the difference this makes is amazing if youve never tried it. Also check heat loss through mail slots, mechanical chases, chimney ues and outlets on exterior walls, he said. The reality is, you lose far more heat from your house through air leakage than from anything else.
Weatherstrip
Connell called weatherstripping the rst line of defense, in the sun belt or snow belt.

How to get good fruit in any size yard

By Lee Reich
Fruits splashed all over the pages of nursery catalogs look as enticing now as they could taste in summer, so long as you dont bite off more than you can chew. When planning what fruits to grow, make sure every plant has enough elbow room. A strawberry plant needs its one square foot of space and a full-size apple tree needs its 500 square feet. That space is needed to let every leaf bask in sun and bathe in breezes and so nourish plentiful and tasty fruits. Just how far apart to set plants depends, of course, on how big theyll grow. The richness of your soil and your fertilizing, pruning, and watering all play a role. But the main determinant how big a plant will grow is its inherent, or natural, vigor.
being grafted onto a special dwarfing rootstock. Northblue, for example, is variety of blueberry that is naturally small, never growing more than a couple of feet high, while Bluecrop, another blueberry variety, is naturally larger, the bushes easily reaching six feet, or more, high. Another example: A single variety of apple, such as McIntosh, might be borne on a full-size, 25-foot-high tree if grafted on one rootstock, a 15 foot tree if grafted on a semi-dwarfing rootstock, or only a six foot high tree if grafted on a dwarng rootstock. In this case, it is the rootstock, not McIntoshs genetics, that determines eventual size. McIntosh fruits will taste identical from any of these trees. But the Northblue fruits are different from the Bluecrop fruits.
Bigger is not always better

With fruit trees, an advantage of dwarf over full-size is that they are easier to care for. You can do most or all your pruning, harvesting and other work with both feet on terra rma. Smaller plants are also just the ticket for smaller yards. And whatever the size of your backyard, you
Apples far from the tree

With some kinds of fruits, you can choose the inherent vigor of the plant you want, from dwarf to full size. A particular variety of fruit might grow on a naturally dwarf plant or it may be made dwarf by
can cram in more small plants than large plants. So instead of six bushels of fruit from one large McIntosh tree, you could harvest a couple of bushels each of Spigold, Mutsu, Gravenstein, and Macoun apples from four dwarf trees occupying the same space as that single large tree. Not only do you get more variety in apples, but, because small trees use sunlight more efciently than large trees, you actually harvest more total apples. Or, you could expand your palette and your harvest season by planting a couple of dwarf apples, dwarf peaches, and dwarf plums in that same space. Still, one full-size tree better suit your needs if you enjoy cooking up and canning a big batch of applesauce all at once. Generally, large trees also tolerate drought, poor fertility and other adverse soil conditions better than dwarf trees. With age, a large tree develops a majestic quality and provides shade and limbs for climbing. And besides, for some kinds of fruits, you have no choice.

feet apart, and small ones eight feet apart. If you plant more than a row of trees, allow more spacing between rows. Only half these distances are needed for planting adjacent to a wall or fence. Give bush fruits six foot spacing, except for strawberries and red raspberries, which need one and two-foot spacing, respectively. Blueberries and currants make attractive, edible hedges, in which case you could set plants as close as four feet apart to let them form a continuous row of plants. Consider lining a walkway with such a hedge, and you can graze as you walk.
And the numbers are...

Getting carried away in the garden can lead to unexpected places

By Melissa Kossler Dutton
When Winthrop Baum wanted to improve the output of his beloved fruit trees, he became a beekeeper. He began with two hives in 1991 to pollinate his apple, peach, pear, nectarine and plum trees in Faireld, Conn. Today, bees from 45 hives buzz among the trees and produce about 2,000 pounds of honey annually. An over-the-top solution? The 53year-old says thats characteristic of him. Ive been known to take things a little far, Baum says. Some people just cant help getting carried away in the garden. A relaxing pastime becomes an obses-
sion, turning them into compulsive weeders, fanatic plant collectors or prolic growers. They nd themselves devoting large amounts of time and resources to their green pursuits. For many gardeners, once they get established in gardening, they nd the thing that really affects them, says Doug Oster, co-host of a radio show, The Organic Gardeners, and co-author of Grow Organic (St. Lynns Press, 2007), both with Jessica Walliser. It really does become an obsession. People may be attracted to plants for various reasons, says Charlie Nardozzi, senior horticulturist with the National Gardening Association in South Burlington, Vt. Some like the science of growing them. Others appreciate their beauty.
Jeremy Wayne Lucas has sacriced food, sleep and the company of loved ones for the sake of plants. A longtime gardener, he started to suspect that his hobby was taking over his life when his fiance, Christina Anderson, accused him of loving his plants more than her. Lucas, of Jacksonville, Fla., had started buying racks of near-dead, discounted plants from a big-box store and taking them home to nurse back to health. He would normally pay $10 for a rack of 600 to 1,000 sick plants. Over the course of a year, he estimates, he brought home more than 100,000 plants. At times, his entire yard was covered with plant containers. Several times a week, he would make the 45-minute trek to the store, spend several hours load-
ing his van with plants and then drive 45 minutes home to unload. I just got totally addicted, the 57-year-old says. Some of my friends were saying they couldnt stand to watch me go totally crazy. Lucas gave plants to friends, children, senior citizens and strangers. He would invite fellow gardeners over and offer them their pick. Even giving the plants away was addicting. It was always fun to see people acting as if they were the kid in the candy shop, he says. When the store changed its policy about selling sickly plants, Lucas buying binge came to a halt. He redirected his energies into an intensive gardening class and found a part-time job on the horticultural staff of the Jacksonville Zoo and
Gardens. But if the big-box store ever calls back, I would do it again, he says. Joy Scott of Pittsburgh indulges her plant obsession every spring, pulling most of the dishes out of lighted display cupboards in the kitchen and lling them with ats of seedlings. The tiny plants thrive under the lights designed to spotlight tableware, she says. Pretty soon Im going to be able to convince my husband to put in a greenhouse, she says. Scotts winter contribution to her garden is mulching her neighbors discarded Christmas trees, which she pulls from their garbage. Under the cover of darkness, she cruises the neighborhood looking for trees and loading one or two into her trunk.

NEW YORK Facing more criticism over rating albums without listening to them, Maxim magazine maintains it was previewing CDs in its March issue, not reviewing them, and the mistake was to include star ratings. Maxim editorial director James Kaminsky told the Associated Press on Wednesday that the magazine had erred in presenting unreleased albums by the Black Crowes and Nas as reviews and judging them with stars. I will be the last person to mince words here: This is a mistake, Kaminsky said. Its a mistake that wont happen again, but its not a mistake that appears in other parts of (the magazines entertainment section). ... There should be no blurry line between whats a preview and whats a review. The asco started last week when the Crowes posted a statement on their Web site lashing out at Maxim for publishing a negative review of their new album Warpaint by a writer who hadnt listened to the full disc. The assessment said: They sound pretty much like they always have: boozy, competent, and in slavish debt to the Stones, the Allmans, and the Faces. The band said such a verdict twoand-a-half stars out of five was impossible since advance copies of the

Maxim editorial director James Kaminsky
CD, out next Tuesday, werent made available. Kaminsky issued a statement apologizing to readers for the write-up and wavering from the magazines policy of only rating albums that have been heard in their entirety. Tuesdays mea culpa wasnt enough for the Crowes manager, Pete Angelus, who later responded that Maxim was doing self-serving damage control. It comes as no surprise that Maxim has elected to apologize to their readers now that the world has been informed of their deception; however, that is not full accountability, Angelus said Tuesday. In his interview with the AP, Kaminsky ofcially apologized to the Crowes and again, to the readers. He said that to his knowledge, this was the rst time Maxim had rated an album in a preview, under the heading Playlist. We have often run previews, which are based on the fact that an album is coming out ... but (those in the March issue) should not have had star ratings
attached to (them), he said. There was a bit of a breakdown that led to that happening and Im looking into it and, as Ive said, weve already put measures in place to ensure that that will not happen again. Rapper Nas told Wednesdays New York Post that he was surprised that Maxim had given his unnished album 2 1/2 stars. His representative said it has not been played for anyone, but the preview in Maxim described some of the music as downright radio friendly. Jason Fine, executive editor of Rolling Stone magazine, said its magazine reviewed the Crowes Warpaint only after listening to it: We never review a record without hearing the whole thing. Fine said magazines are hitting roadblocks nowadays since full albums are being held from reviewers because of piracy concerns. Its becoming more and more difcult for publications ... to review records because the big records are the most difcult ones to get, he said.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There is a strong possibility that
23
BORN TODAY: More than your share of opportunities will
present themselves in the year ahead, but unless you see them as good possibilities, you wont capitalize on them. Dont be afraid to be who you are and to live life to the fullest.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Guard against inclinations to
anticipate the worst, because that wont do a thing except to impede your judgment and hold you back from participating in things that could bring you deserved happiness. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If everybody seems a bit difcult to get along with all of sudden, look in the mirror to nd out who is causing it. Evaluate your own conduct to discover if your behavior is giving them justication. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be realistic about determining the risks you are taking in proportion to what you hope to gain. If the odds are against you, especially with costly undertakings, back off and rethink your modus operandi. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Should your mate or a close cohort be a bit difcult to deal with, it wouldnt hurt to back off and look the other way. You would want him or her to give you a little space if you were feeling contrary. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Tolerance, not nger-pointing, will be called for if youre nding fault with everything and everybody. You may be right, but if you take the critical route, you could slam the door in your own face.
things will not go your way in acquiring something you want. Instead of bursting a blood vessel over it, focus your attention on winning tomorrow. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Whereas earlier in the week you were forceful and bold, you may nd yourself much more reticent and timid now. Your lack of drive is a momentary lapse; so take some time to recharge your energies instead. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Most of the things that are worrying you at this time will never come to pass or unfold as you envision. Nothing will be gained from negative anticipation, but positive thinking can help a lot. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Although you are normally a giving person, for no good reason, you might be unduly tightsted and stingy with those who have always been generous to you. Loosen up and open your sts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you fail to make the most of what you have at your disposal because you dont like what you have to work with, dont expect to accomplish anything at all. When handed lemons, make lemonade. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Normally, you have the courage of your convictions, but if you discover this admirable quality is lacking all of a sudden, check out your thinking. Negative thoughts are apt to be dominating your positive ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Try to do without, and be sure not to ask to borrow something or request a special favor from friends. If they arent able to grant you the favor, both you and they will end up feeling embarrassed and humiliated. Copyright 2008, Newspaper Enterprise Assn.

Israeli strike kills baby,wounds others

By Ibrahim Barzak
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip A Palestinian rocket struck a college campus in southern Israel on Wednesday, killing a man hours after an Israel airstrike in the Gaza Strip blew up a minivan with ve Hamas militants inside. The rocket barrage raised the likelihood of even more intense Israeli attacks. Palestinian officials said two people, including a civilian, were killed in a second Israeli airstrike carried out at the time of the rocket attack on the college in the town of Sderot. The Islamic militant Hamas which controls Gaza, claimed responsibility for the rocket fire. It said it had launched more than 20 rockets at Israel,
including eight at Sderot. The fatal rocket exploded in a parking lot at Sapir College. Israeli ofcials said a student, about 30 years old, was fatally struck in the heart by shrapnel. Israeli TV stations showed a second man being carried on a stretcher with wounds to his legs. Palestinian militants have fired thousands of crude rockets at southern Israel over the past seven years, with Sderot the most frequent target. The attacks have killed a total of 13 people and caused widespread panic throughout the area. The student was the rst Israeli killed since last May. We knew this was coming. Its a shame that it happened. This is a difcult day, Sderots mayor, Eli Moyal, told Army Radio.

Shiite pilgrims targeted on holy day

By John Affleck
BAGHDAD Shiite pilgrims headed to a major religious gathering were again targeted by extremists Wednesday when a roadside bomb detonated near a bus in Baghdad, killing one traveler,
police said. The blast came just days after a flurry of attacks on a massive pilgrimage to the holy city of Karbala, 50 miles south of Baghdad. Shiites from across Iraq and some foreign visitors are marking Arbaeen, the end of a 40day mourning period following the anniversary of the death of in the Australian tropics, animal experts said Wednesday. The boy and girl, ages 5 and 7, watched as the scrub python devoured their silky terrierChihuahua crossbreed Monday at their home near Kuranda in
Imam Hussein, one of Shiite Islams most revered figures. The U.S. military blamed Sunni-led al-Qaida in Iraq for the earlier killings, which seemed aimed at provoking sectarian violence. Shiite religious festivals have been targeted repeatedly in the past few years. Queensland state. Stuart Douglas, owner of the Australian Venom Zoo in Kuranda, said scrub pythons typically eat wild animals such as wallabies, a smaller relative of the kangaroo, but sometimes turn to pets in urban areas.
Gates to tell Turks to stop operations in Iraq

Python stalked, then ate family dog in front of kids

BRISBANE, Australia A 16foot python stalked a family dog for days before swallowing the pet whole in front of horried children
NEW DELHI Defense Secretary Robert Gates headed for Ankara late Wednesday with a message for Turkish leaders: Get your troops out of northern Iraq in the next few days. Its very important that the Turks make this operation as short as possible and then leave, Gates said before departing India. They have to be mindful of Iraqi sovereignty. I measure quick in terms of days, a
week or two, something like that, not months. Gates said he also will ask Turkish leaders in a series of m e e t i n g s to Robert Gates Thursday address some of the complaints of the Kurds, and move from combat to economic and political initiatives to solve differences with them.
