In an effort to reduce waste going to the landfill, students at Skyline College in San Bruno have begun their own composting initiative. The Green Gorillas, the name of the project, measured the amount of waste they were able to divert from the regular trash cans and the landfill. During peak hours, students brought compost bins to the cafeteria and advised others on how to separate their compostables and trash. Students were trained by Recology.
“We’re hoping to implement this as a permanent program at Skyline College to expand it into the entire district,” said Deanna Badong, president of the Skyline Environmental Club. The group began its efforts after receiving a $2,500 grant to support the idea. This past fall, the group conducted a study and just piloted the program in the cafeteria. Then this spring, the students spent Monday through Thursday for a three-week period at the cafeteria. Each day, the students were in the cafeteria they measured the amount of waste they have been able to divert from the regular
trash cans and the landfill. “There was already a little bit of student interest regarding composting from an environmental science course,” Badong said. “The Environmental Club wanted to do something simple we could measure success by. I liked that it’s easy to do; it’s not really hard to get people to sort trash. It creates a culture of sustainability on campus. It’s gotten to the point where people expect us to be there.” The group was able to divert 57.6 percent of the waste collection to the compost, totaling 129

Problem is, someone had stolen it from him a year earlier. Police eventually arrested 24-yearold Casey Wentworth of Portsmouth on Monday and charged him with burglary. He’s accused of taking the laptop from Witonis’ home in Dover in February 2013. When the break-in happened, police said they couldn’t identify any suspects. Detectives contacted Apple and the laptop’s serial number was flagged. When Witonis got the email, he contacted police, who said the person who called customer service used the serial number of the stolen computer. Witonis tells WMURWMUR-TV TV the discovery was sort of shocking. Wentworth is scheduled to be arraigned on May 2. It wasn’t immediately known if he had a lawyer.

Man burned in suspected Malibu home drug lab blast MALIBU — Authorities say a 25year-old man was airlifted to a hospital with burns following an explosion during a suspected drug manufacturing process at a house in Malibu. The Los Angeles Times reports arriving firefighters found the home fully engulfed in flames Tuesday evening. Sheriff’s Sgt. Fray Lupian says an initial investigation of the burned-out structure uncovered hash oil at the residence. Hash oil, also known as honey oil, is a potent marijuana byproduct extracted with butane from parts of the plant that are often discarded. Lupian says the man, who was not immediately identified, would likely be arrested on drug-related charges after recovering. Last month two men were critically burned in similar explosions at a house in Commerce. Ah ash oil extra ction laboratory was found inside the house.

Psychia Psy chiatri tricc rape suspec suspectt back back from hospi hospital tal Police reports By Michelle Durand DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Less than a year after a psychiatric patient charged with raping a fellow county hospital ward was sent to a state mental facility, he is back in San Mateo County to potentially stand trial. The medical staff at Atascadero State Hospital concluded that Ronald Sunwo O’Brien, 31, is now competent to aid in his own defense on several felonies stemming from the assault and a subsequent attack on a correctional officer while awaiting trial. O’Brienafter has prior been arrests in and and out twice of mental facilities following his arrest for the alleged March 30, 2010, sexual assault at the county’s public hospital. Sometime in the early hours, he allegedly entered the hospital room of a 23year-old female patient, held her down on the bed with a hand over her mouth and sexually assaulted her multiple times. Minutes
later, O’Brien allegedly returned with a piece of paper on which he’d drawn a pair of lips with a finger over them to essentially tell her to stay quiet. The following morning, the woman reported the alleged assault and police were Ronald O’Brien contacted. The following month, O’Brien was also charged with punching a correctional officer in the head for trying to take away his meal tray away because he was smashing food into the cell floor. O’Brien was committed in August 2010. He was found competent the following year but his mental health deteriorated before he could stand trial and he was returned to the hospital until March 2013. AJune jury trial was set to determine if he really was competent but, before it began, attorneys agreed
he should be committed again. O’Brien is now back again and was due before a judge Wednesday to certify the hospital’s findings but he refused to come to court. Instead, O’Brien’s court-appointed attorney was assigned to the case again and he returns to court April 22 to either agree with the hospital or announce plans to contest the conclusions. O’Brien’s alleged attack at the San Mateo Medical Center prompted its own internal investigation and a host of recommended changes to prevent future incidents such as the addition of a security officer and nurse to the ward, further investigation into whether staff members in the unit were culpable and improving communication and risk evaluations of patients.

Poll: oll:VVoters favor favor Brown as his popularity climbs By Juliet Williams THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Gov. Jerry Brown has a big lead as he seeks re-election to an unprecedented fourth term, far outpacing any of the three top Republican challengers, according to a Field Poll released Wednesday. The survey says 57 percent of likely voters would choose the Democratic governor, while 17 percent of likely voters support state Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, 3 percent favor Laguna Hills Mayor Andrew Blount, and 2 percent support former U.S. Treasury official Neel Kashkari. Donnelly, who represents a district in San Bernardino County, has been campaigning for nearly a year but has raised just $373,000 so far this year. By comparison, Kashkari announced his bid in January and has amassed $1.3 million in campaign contributions. Even so, he remains virtually unknown. Only 3 percent of likely Republican voters preferred Kashkari, while nearly four in 10 did not know who they would sup-
port in the governor’s race. Kashkari’s fourth-place fourth-place showing was a surprise to some who have sought to make the first-time candidate the new face of the state Republican Party. The poll has a sampling error rate of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points for likely voters, meaning Kashkari is virtually tied with Blount, who has raised no outside money but loaned his campaign $12,000. “More than 50 percent of voters don’t know much about any of the candidates, which shows us that it’s really going to come down to the voter contact,” said Jessica Ng, a spokeswoman for Kashkari. “We’re confident we’re going to have the resources to connect with voters and communicate his message.” Donnelly promoted the poll results in posts on his Twitter and Facebook pages Wednesday ednesday,, saying he is clearly the strongest GOP GO P candid candidate, ate, with a “definitive and growing lead over big government bailout archiREUTERS FILE PHOTO tect” Kashkari, who ran the federal Troubled survey ey says that 59 perc percent ent of reg registe istered red vot voters ers appr approve ove of the job Gov Gov.Jerry .Jerry Bro Brown wn Asset Relief Program at the height of the The new surv is doing,his doing, his highest rating since he began his latest tenure in January 2011. recession.

GOP blocks Senate bill curbing gender pay gap By Alan Fram THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHI ASHINGTON NGTON — Republicans Republic ans blocked a Senate bill Wednesday aimed at narrowing the pay gap between men and women, an election-year ritual that Democrats hope will help spur women to back them in this fall’ss congressional elections. fall’ GOP GO P lawmaker lawmakerss said the measure measure could hinder employers from granting raises, or permitting flexible hours in exchange for lower pay, for fear of costly lawsuits. For Democrats, the bill was the latest stressing income-fairness they are pushing this campaign season, a procession that includes proposals to extend jobless jobless benefits, bo ost the minimum wage and help students and families afford college loans. “When I hear all these phony reasons, some are mean and some are meaningless, I do get emotional,” Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., the bill’s sponsor, said of arguments against the legislation. “I get angry. I get outraged. I get volcanic.” Mikulski was the latest Democrat to play off former former CIA Director Michael Hayden’s Hayden’s recent comment that Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., was motivated by “emotional feeling” when she sought an investigation
“At a time when the Obama economy is already “At hurting women so much,this legislation would double down on job loss — all while lining the pockets of trial lawyers....In other words,it’s just another Democrat idea that threatens to hurt the very people it claims to help.” — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell,R-Ky.

They were backed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business groups. “At a time when the Obama economy is already hurting women so much, this legislation would double down on job loss — all while lining the pockets of trial lawyers,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. “In other words, it’s just another Democrat idea that threatens to hurt the very people it claims to help.” Democrats pushed the same legislation the last two election years, 2012 and 2010, only to see Senate Republicans scuttle the measures.

It would also make class-action suits about paycheck unfairness easier and allow workers to seek punitive and compensatory damages. Wednesday’ ednesday’ss vote was 53-44 for debating the legislation — seven fewer than Democrats needed to keep the bill moving forward. Every voting Republican was against continuing work on the measure. Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, who usually aligns with Democrats, voted with the GOP. He said later the bill ignored the real reasons for the pay gap between genders, such as companies that make it hard for women with children to continue working. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-
Nev., switched to vote against the legislation — a maneuver that makes it easier for him to demand a future roll call on the bill. Top Democrats have promised to force Republicans to vote again on the issue before November. “This won’t be the last time they have to go home to their constituents and explain that they don’t think this is a worthy issue,” said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, a member of the Senate Democratic leadership. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said discrepancies in pay between men and women are worth exploring. She said she opposed the Democratic bill because “perhaps this is more an exercise in political messaging than an effort to try to resolve what I believe is an issue.” Women consistently vote more often for Democrats than men do. They tilted Democratic in every election since 1976 but two: 2002 and 2010. In those two elections women divided about evenly, even as Republicans picked up congressional seats. Women averaged 77 percent of men’s earnings in 2012, according to Census Bureau figures. That is better than the 61 percent differential of 1960, but little changed since 2001.

Around the nation Teen stabs 22 at Pittsburgh-area Pitt sburgh-area high school MURRYSVILLE, MURR YSVILLE, Pa. — Flailing away with two kitchen knives, a 16-year-old boy with a “blank expression” stabbed and slashed 21 students and a security guard in the crowded halls of his suburban Pittsburgh high school Wednesday before an assistant principal tackled him. At least five students were critically wounded, including a boy whose liver was pierced by a knife thrust that narrowly missed his heart and aorta, doctors said. Others also suffered deep abdominal puncture wounds. The rampage — which came after decades in which U.S. schools geared much of their emergency planning toward mass shootings, not stabbings — set off a screaming stampede, left blood on the floor and walls, and brought teachers rushing to help the victims. Police shed little light on the motive. The suspect, Alex Hribal, was taken into custody and treated for a minor hand wound, then was brought into court in shackles and a hospital gown and charged with four counts of attempted homicide and 21 counts of aggravated assault. He was jailed without bail, and authorities said he would be prosecuted as an adult.

A Toyota Solara convertible went out of control after it was struck by a Dodge Durango, jumped a curb and smashed into the day care, breaking through the wall and into the building, said Florida Highway Patrol spokesman Wanda Diaz. The convertible driver was not hurt. The Durango left the scene but was located almost two hours later after it had been abandoned at a home. The highway patrol said it is looking for 26-year-old Robert Corchado, who has been arrested eight times since 2000, according to Florida Department of Law Enforcement records. Troopers said he was the driver of the Durango, but wouldn’t would n’t say how they established that.

House panel refers ex-IRS official to Justice Department By Stephen Ohlemacher THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The House Ways and Means Committee voted Wednesday to refer a former Internal Revenue Service official to the Justice Department for possible criminal prosecution in the agency’s tea party controversy. Committee investigators say they have uncovered evidence that Lois Lerner may have violated the constitutional rights of conservative groups, misled investigators and risked exposing confidential taxpayer information. Lerner, who retired last year, headed the IRS division that processes applications for tax-exempt status. The agency has acknowledged that agents improperly singled out tea party and other conservative groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for taxexempt status from 2010 to 2012. “We think there’s reason to believe that laws were broken, that constitutional rights were violated,” said committee chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich. “We have to make sure that the signal goes out that this can’t happen again.” The Ways and Means Committee has been investigating the IRS for nearly a year, since shortly after the mishandling of tea party applications became public. Wednesday’s vote to refer the matter to the Justice Department was 23-14, with all Republicans voting in favor and all

They noted that the Justice Department is already investigating whether any crimes have been committed. “It now seems clear that Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee have decided that they do not want to be left behind in the Republican campaign to declare this a scandal and keep it going until November,” said Rep. Sander Levin of
Michigan, the committee’s ranking Democrat. Lerner’s lawyer issued a statement Wednesday declaring her innocence. “This is just another attempt by Republicans to vilify Ms. Lerner for political gain,” said the lawyer, William W. Taylor III. “Ms. Lerner has done nothing wrong. She did not violate any law or regulation. She did not ?mislead Congress. She did not interfere with the rights of any organization to a tax exemption. ?Those are the facts.”
Water Wa ter deliveries deliveries remain at zero zero pending pen ding further study THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Water managers are determining if recent storms helped California’s dwindling water supplies enough to warrant increases in water deliveries to farms and thirsty cities. Meantime, the California Department of Water Resources and the
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation on Wednesday announced that water deliveries will remain at zero until the analysis is complete. State Water Project allocations have been cut to zero for the first time in the system’s 54-year history, and the federally run Central Valley Project has also cancelled
deliveries to most recipients. Water resources directo r Mark Cowin says it will likely take until the end of the month to determine if any water can be delivered. California is in a drought emergency, and officials said recent rains haven’t helped the parched state’s long-term water prognosis.

Exposing the CIA’s ‘dark side’ Other voices
Los Angeles Times
M
ore than a year after it approved a report critical of the CIA’s interrogation and detention policies, the Senate Intelligence Committee has voted to make a portion of the document public. It’s now up to President Obama to ensure that the agency doesn’t mount a rear-guard attempt to censor or sanitize the committee’s findings in the name of national security. Thanks to news reports and a report by the CIA’s inspector general, Americans long have been aware of both the broad outlines and some abhorrent details of the Bush administration’s mistreatment of suspected terrorists after 9/11. We know that suspects were transported for questioning to “black sites” abroad, and that two suspected Al Qaeda operatives, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Abu Zubaydah, were sub jected to waterboardin g. And we have have read
the memos in which Bush administration lawyers used contorted reasoning to justify torture. But the Intelligence Committee’s 6,200word report, based on a review of millions of pages of documents, contains additional accounts of abuse, including (according to a Washington Post report) the alleged repeated dunking of a terrorism suspect in tanks of ice water at a site in Afghanistan. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the Intelligence Committee chairwoman who aggressively has sought its declassification, said the report “exposes brutality that stands in stark contrast to our values as a nation.” More important, those who have read the report say it concludes that waterboarding and other “enhanced interrogation techniques” yielded little valuable intelligence that couldn’t have been
obtained by other means. Last week the committee voted to declassify the report’s 480-page executive summary along with 20 findings and conclusions, but that represents only the beginning of the disclosure process. The execuexecutive branch will now determine which portions of the document must be redacted to protect sensitive national security information. The Central Intelligence Agency has promised that it will do its part to ensure that the declassification review proceeds proceeds “expeditiously.” But the agency complained that a previous version of the report contained serious errors — a charge echoed by the committee’ committee’ss Republican vice chair — and it has a vested interest in suppressing information that would sully its reputation. That is why the president, who has sent mixed signals about the importance of confronting the abuses of the past, must make thorough and timely declassification of this report a personal priority.
Letters to the editor Insider trading Editor, In a recent “60 Minutes” expose, Michael Lewis, author of “Flash Boys,” demonstrated how the U.S. market is rigged in favor of the “big banks,” who, like competing athletes taking performance enhancing drugs, have rigged the system in their favor. The “insiders” eavesdrop on other traders orders, select the ones that look most promising, then using superior technology, called high frequency trading (HFT), “front run” other traders to the exchanges and then place buy and sell orders cashing in huge amounts of money — all in the blink of an eye. Conversely, the “little guy” is left gasping wondering why his order never got executed. cute d. HFT HFT may be legal but clearly is patently unfair. In a zero-sum game, “heads I win, tails you lose game,” game,” HFT ensures that billions of dollars are generated executing tens of thousands of orders in nanoseconds skimming dollars of the more routine form of trading. trading. HFT is an artifact of computer technology in the hands of rapacious traders reducing the market to a casino. The current system screams of the urgent necessity of reforms to bring about a level playing field; a small transaction fee should be imposed on all trades to partially mitigate the unfair advantage of HFT. Finally, a new exchange, IEX, established by the “hero” of of Michael Michael Lewis’ Lewis’ investi gative reporting should go a long way to leveling the playing field.

Editor, Mr. Jorg Aadahl has finally written something I can agree with when he says ‘bring voters to kick out politicians who have sold their souls and country to the highest bidder’ (letter to the editor “Supreme stimulation” in the April 8 issue of the Daily Journal). However Howe ver,, based on his previous letters, I suspect he is only speaking of Republicans since they are the source of America’s problems. Recent ly, I was in Palm Springs when the president arrived to have a twohour meeting with the king of Jordan and spend four days on the golf courses. Now the king had been in Washington Washington th e week before but the Washington golf cour ses were covered in snow, so let’s pack up Air Force One and the entourage and fly out to Palm Springs for an estimated 8 million taxpayer dollars. What do you think Mr. Aadahl? Is this the act of a responsible president? And And let’s let’s not forget the thousands of dollars of lost revenue incurred by the nearby small airports forced to close during his stay. And what about the free rounds of golf on exclusive private courses owned by individuals and companies that may do business with the government. I have always been a “decline to state” refusing to drink the Kool-Aid of either party. Until Mr. Aadahl and the zealots of both parties take off their rose-colored glasses and realize their party is equally responsible for America America’s ’s problems, there is little hope of moving forward. I would urge Mr. Aadahl to stop his accusations and demand a higher degree of responsibility from the president and his own party.

A sunny infliction I
’m looking for a sun day. Yes, I know. Every seven days we get a Sunday. Heck, the week even hands us a Saturday Satur day.. But I’m not talking about the obligatory weekend that, for those on a traditional work schedule, provide a respite from the commute, the tech breakdowns, the water cooler chitchat and the coworkers who believe all items in the refrigerator are communal with or without a name label. Instead, consider sun day. Two words.a Lower case. Improper noun. Referencing a state of weather rather than a heavenly day of rest and responding to a state of mind. When the sun is out, nobody wants to go to work. Nobody wants to go to school. They want to photosynthesize a little. They want to be on the other side of the office window, enjoying the world instead of peering longingly out at it. They want to squish their toes in the grass at the park. They want to find an outdoor lunch spot with a solid drink list, tackle the overgrown backyard neglected neglected through months of quasi-cold and quasi-rain, they want to do anything and everything but push papers, answer emails, ignore phone calls and kick themselves for not faking a sudden case of the 24-hour Martian death flu. “I’m sorry. I can’t come in to work today. I’ve come down with something. Might be something I ate. No maybe it’s the flu. Have you heard how deadly it is this year, that H1N1 swine thingy. You really don’t want me to describe the symptoms. Not quite sure what it is.” Maybe a few coughs or groans for good measure. Somebody once told me to always hang your head over the bed to sound particularly afflicted. Not sure how they figured that one out. But such a phone call to the workplace powers that be is a lie. You You know exactly what the problem is — a distinct desire to enjoy a day of beautiful weather. And you know the common symptoms. Reaching for the short-sleeved shirts and cotton rather than grabbing a scarf and piling on the wool is a first sign. Standing an extra few minutes in the sun when fetching the newspaper or letting the dog out. Knowing before you even hit the office that the goal of the day is to do as little as possible and get out as soon as you can before the temperature and sun drops. You’ve got a case of the sun and it is nothing two aspirin and calling in the morning going to ithelp. Soiswhy isn’t acceptable to lay everything on the table and call in well rather than sick? Call in sunny, if you will. Kids in colder climates get to play hooky when the sky turns dark and wet. But snow days don’t offer the same opportunity for enjoying the unexpected time off. There’s no going to the beach or taking the pups to the park. Snowed-in roads mean not hitting the movie theater or mall. Sun days would be so much better appreciated and enjoyed. “I’m sorry. I can’t come to work today. I’ve come down with something. Might be the weather. Actually, Actually, it is the weather.” The coughing would be optional. Most workplaces allow for personal days which is great but those are often planned in advance, lacking the spontaneity and specialness of a true sun day. Something tells me, though, that employers aren’t going to take too kindly to the idea of work grinding to a halt every time the mercury soars and the sun rays burn. Then again, maybe I just have a jaundiced point of view. Michelle Durand’ Michelle Durand’s column column “Off the Beat” Beat” runs every Tuesday and Thursday.

At their March policy meeting, Fed policymakers debated over when the bank should start raising interest rates. Traditionally Traditionally the Fed’s main policy tool for regulating the U.S. economy, short-term rates have been near zero since 2008 in an effort to encourage borrowing and economic growth, all of which is good for stocks. Now that the economy has mostly recovered from the recession, an increasing number of policymakers believe it’s time for the Fed to start raising rates .

Toyota,GM recalls push U.S.to near-record pace Toyota recalls 1.8M vehicles in the U.S. By Yuri Kageyama THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO — Toyota Motor Corp. is recalling nearly 1.8 million vehicles in the U.S. for various safety problems, including air bags that may fail to deploy. The Japanese automaker announced the U.S. recall Wednesday as part of a broader recall of 6.39 million vehicles — and 27 Toyota models — globally. In the U.S., the recall includes: — 1.3 million vehicles with faulty electrical connections that could cause the air bags to deactivate. Included are the 20092010 Corolla, 2009-2010 Matrix, 20082010 Highlander, 2009-2010 Tacoma, 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris and
2009-2010 Pontiac Vibe. If the air bags deactivate, they could fail to deploy after a crash. — 472,500 small cars with defective springs in the front seat rails, which could prevent the seats from locking in place. Included are the 2006-2010 Yaris hatchback, 2007-2010 Yaris sedan and the 2008-2010 Scion XD. Toyota said it is currently working on remedies for the problems. Dealers will replace the defective parts for free when replacement parts are available. The Pontiac Vibe, which is made by General Motors Co., is included in the recall because Toyota designed and engineered it for GM when the two companies shared a factory in California.

DETR DE TROI OIT T — Big U.S. recalls by General Motors and Toyota have put the auto industry on a record pace as companies try to avoid bad publicity and punishment from an increasingly increasingl y aggressive government. On Wednesday, Toyota announced it was recalling nearly 1.8 million vehicles in the U.S. to fix a spate of problems, including air bags that might not inflate. It’s part of a worldwide recall of 6.4 million cars and trucks. So far this year, automakers have recalled about 9 million vehicles in the U.S. If that pace continues, the nation would break the record of 30.8 million recalled vehicles set in 2004. Most of the recalls are from Toyota and General Motors, two automakers that are under government scrutiny and facing bad publicity and allegations that they con-
Twitter tweaks website to attract new users By Barbara Ortutay THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW NE W YOR YORK K — As Twitter Twitter looks to br oaden its appeal beyond its 241 million users, the company is introducing a redesign of profile pages that includes bigger photos, more user controls and a distinct resemblance to Facebook. “Moment by moment, your Twitter Twitter profile shows the world who you are,” the company wrote in a blog post Tuesday. “Starting today, it will be even easier (and, we think, more fun) to express yourself through a new
and improved Web profile.” As part of changes coming in the next few weeks, users who access Twitter via the Web will notice larger photos on their profile pages. Besides profile photos on the left corner of the page, the redesign includes a large banner photo that resembles the big rectangular cover photos on Facebook pages. Users will be able to “pin” one of their tweets to the top of the page to give others an idea of the topics they like to tweet about. In addition, tweets that receive the most interest from other users will appear slightly larger.
The more visual look is an attempt to attract people who may be intimidated by Twitter’s onslaught of text filled with quirky acronyms, at-symbols and hashtags. The changes come at a time when Facebook is adding features to its site that are Twitterlike, highlighting the way the two companies are jockeying for people’s time and advertisers’dollars. Is Twitter saying a picture is worth 140 characters? Perhaps not. The new profiles don’t apply to Twitter’s mobile app, which is a more popular way to access the service than the website.
Top-paid Medicare doctors say they have reasons THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — How is it that a few doctors take in millions of dollars from Medicare? Explanations for Wednesday’s eye-popping numbers from Medicare’s massive claims database ranged from straightforward to what the government considers suspicious, as the medical world confronted a new era of scrutiny.
The long-sought release of Medicare data revealed just how much the program paid individual doctors in 2012. An analysis by the Associated Press found that a tiny group, 344 out of more than 825,000 doctors, received $3 m illion or more apiece — a threshold that raises eyebrows for the government’s own investigators. Overall, about 2 percent of clinicians accounted for one-fourth of payments.
Deputy administrator Jon Blum said Wednesday that Medicare will now take a closer look at doctors whose payments exceed certain levels. Blum told reporters he did not want to reveal those thresholds because that would tip off people trying to game the system. “We know there is waste in the system, we know there is fraud in the system,” he said. “We want the public to help identify spending that doesn’t make sense.”
cealed safety issues. Toyota’s latest recalls were announced before the company even developed specific repairs. They come two weeks after the Justice Department skewered the Japanese automaker for covering up problems that caused unintended acceleration in some cars starting in 2009. Toyota agreed to pay $1.2 billion to settle that case, but federal prosecutors can resurrect a wire fraud fraud charge if t he company fails to comply with the terms of the settlement. Toyota’s actions come as rival GM recalls 2.6 million small cars for defective ignition switches the company links to at least 13 deaths. Of those, 2.2 million are in the U.S. As that crisis unfolded, GM announced recalls of another 3.4 million U.S. vehicles. GM is facing a Justice Department investigation, and last week its new CEO was grilled by Congress over its handling of the ignition recalls.
Business brief Poll:Most Americans say filing taxes easy WASHINGTON — Struggling to figure out your federal tax return? You’re not alone, but you’re in the minority. With the tax filing deadline looming next week, a majority of Americans say completing a federal tax return is easy, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. The findings findings defy conventional wisdom in Washington, where politicians have made careers out of promising a simpler tax system. In another blow to advocates of tax reform, almost no one is willing to pay higher taxes in exchange for a simpler code. “If you’ve got the equivalent of a high school degree and you know how to do math, it’s very very simple,” said Sara Thorn ton, aConn. small business owner from East Granby, Only 7 percent of those surveyed say they would be willing to pay more in federal taxes if the process of filling out a tax return were easier. Some 90 percent say “no, thanks.” “No, because I don’t know that it is that difficult,” said Alicia Brown of suburban Des Moines, Iowa. “We already pay outlandish taxes because we live in Iowa. We have very high real estate taxes.”

The Burlingame Burlingame and Carlmont boys’ golf teams faced off at San Mateo’s Poplar Creek Golf Course with the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division title on the line Tuesday. The Panther came into the match with a perfect 9-0 mark in PAL pla y, with the Scots one game back — with their only loss coming to Burlingame by a stroke earlier in the season. Burlingame went out and shot a season-best 193. And it wasn’t even close. Carlmont put together an even better round with all five scoring golfers shooting round in the 30s to pull out a 184-193 win over the Panthers. “It was the best round of the year for,” said Burlingame coach Steve Mills. “Just not good enough.” With the victory, Carlmont (11-1 PAL) all but clinches the Bay Division title and an automatic team berth in the Central Coast Section tournament next month. “We knew it was going to be close,” said Carlmont coach Johnny Hsu. “I think my guys really wanted it. They’ve been talking about [this match] all week.” Jack Tilly and Mason Holman each fired 1under 35s, Jack Carlson finished with a 2-over 37, Finnegan Tilly shot a 38 and Justin Chandra finished with a 39. “I know my guys,” Hsu said. “They’re all talented golfers. I expect them to come in with these scores. They pulled through today.” today.” It’s not like Burlingame (9-1) played poorly. The Panthers had four golfers shoot under 40, led by Jeff Carney’s and Matt Teahan’s 2over 37s. Shawn Chang and Andrew Longworth both fired 39s. Nick Teahan rounded out the scoring for Burlingame with a 41. Both teams flourished under less-than-ideal conditions. Wind is a given at Poplar Creek and Wednesday was no exception. The other challenge the golfers had to deal with was the maintenance of the greens on the course, which were just sanded earlier in the day, making putting an adventure.

The legendary Negro Leagues player was called the “black Babe Ruth.” Since there are no complete Negro Leagues statistics, no one knows for sure home many bombs he hit, but the general consensus is Gibson hit 900 four baggers. The answer is none of the above. Until MLB records are no longer considered the end all, be all, the correct answer is: Barry Bonds. Why? Because the record book says so. In MLB’s official record book, you will find Bonds at the top of the list, with 762 next to his name. It’s right there in black and white. Until baseball can find a way to erase the record, that is the mark to beat. We all know the reason.

Norris, Oakland top David Lee hopes to Twins in 11 innings be back for playoffs By Dave Campbe Campbell ll THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — Jim Johnson struggled again. The Oakland Athletics picked up their new closer with a strong finish. Derek Norris hit a three-run homer in the 11th inning, and the A’s bounced back from another blown save by Johnson to beat the Minnesota Twins 7-4 on Wednesday. “When someone doesn’t come through the next guy comes comes up and fills in for him. ... It’s a nice chemistry we have here for that to happen,” Norris said. Burton catcher (0-1) gave up the one-out byJared the backup Norris, who went drive deep on Tuesday night, too. Dan Otero (1-0) got the last eight outs for the victory in relief of Johnson, who has given up seven runs, nine hits and six walks in five appearances with the A’s. He’s simply been falling behind in too many counts. “Whatever he’s got to do to change that he will,” Norris said, adding: “He’s going to go on a roll, and this isn’t going to be a matter any longer I don’t think.”
A’s 7, Twins 4 Minnesota trailed 4-0 after a rocky first inning by Phil Hughes, who needed 40 pitches to get his first out. Jason Kubel homered in the second and Brian Dozier went deep in the eighth. Johnson, who had 50 saves for Baltimore last Derek Norris season, gave up the third of four hits by Kubel to start the ninth. With the bases loaded and one out, Johnson nearly had Eduardo Escobar struck out, but a foul tip was ruled on his two-strike swing. Escobar then poked a single into to left field to cut Oakland’s lead to 4-3. A one-ho one-hop p throw to third baseman baseman Josh Donaldson nearly forced out Kurt Suzuki, who was ruled safe, and a video review ruled the call stood — meaning there was not “clear and convincing” evidence to overturn it.

OAKLAND — David Lee’s latest injury with Golden State has been keeping him awake at night wondering if he will ever get to go through the playoffs healthy. After tearing his right hip flexor in his first postseason game last year, Lee is trying to rehabilitate an even more perplexing injury at the worst time again. The power forward said he has damage in the nerve that connects from his back to the upper part of his right hamstring but hopes to return for the playoffs, if not sooner, though his recovery could take longer. “I’m so frustrated that I’m almost not frustrated anymore,” said Lee, who missed four games in last year’s year’s playoffs before playing limited minutes with the hip injury. “Even watching practice is just miserable for me. It’s such a fun time of year, and obviously I’d be lying if last year how the season ended didn’t factor into that.” The Warriors’ co-captain participated in a portion of Wednesday’s light practice,
working up a sweat on his gray shirt before shooting free throws when reporters were allowed to enter the gym. He said he feels no pain while running, but when he tries to push off or make sharp cuts, his leg shuts down. Lee has missed six David Lee straight games and is expected to sit out again Thursday night against Denver. After hosting the Nuggets, the Warriors (48-29) have only four games left in the regular season. Lee said there is no timetable for his return from the injury, which the team initially called a strained hamstring. He said the most difficult part of the rehabilitation process is that unlike muscle strains or bone breaks, nerve damage is more difficult for doctors to predict how long he will be out. “That’ss the only th ing that has really wor“That’

Lincecum lit up in loss Ducks down Sharks By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Paul Goldschmidt hit a three-run homer and sacrifice fly to pound Tim Lincecum again, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the San Francisco Giants 7-3 on Wednesday night. Gerardo Parra hit a two-run homer and Eric Chavez added an RBI triple for his first hit in his first start of the year for Arizona. Goldschmidt is batting .542 (13-for-24) with seven homers and 17 RBIs all-time against Lincecum, including a two-run homer last week at Chase Field. Goldschmidt has been such a nemesis for Lincecum, the the exasperated exasperated two-time NL Cy Young Award winner said last week he might have to throw underhanded to try to stymie the slugger. Michael Morse and Buster Posey hit solo homers against Bronson Arroyo (1-0), who won his third straight decision against San Francisco. Arroyo was staked to a nice lead early and worked five innings to earn his first win since joining the D-backs in February. He had had a nonodecision against the Giants last Thursday. The right-hander allowed six hits and three runs, struck out two and walked one. He beat the Giants twice last season, including a seven-hitter at AT& AT&T T Park last July 22 with the Reds for his sixth career shutout in an 110 victory. Josh Collmenter, who soon could join the struggling Arizona rotation, pitched four scoreless innings of relief for his first major league save. Goldschmidt got things going at AT&T Park again. Parra led off the game with a triple, Martin Prado walked and Goldschmidt sent a 1-1 fastball into the elevated rightfield arcade. He added a sacrifice fly in the third, then was booed each time he stepped

The right-hander received a $35 million, twoyear deal in late October to stay put with San Francisco rather than test free agency. Pablo Sandoval went 1 for 4 and is off to a slow start hitting .143 for San Francisco. Manager Bruce Bochy is confident that even though the Giants have tabled talks about a contract extension for the third baseman, it won’t affect the 2012 World World Series Series MVP o n the field.

ANAHEIM — Patrick Maroon scored two goals, John Gibson made 36 saves in his second sec ond NHL NHL start, and the Anaheim Ducks clinched their second straight Pacific Division title with a 5-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday Wednesday night. Corey Perry scored his 43rd goal as the Ducks finished off the second-place Sharks with a three-goal third period to earn the first back-to-back division titles in franchise history. Matt Beleskey also scored for the Ducks as they pushed one point ahead of St. Louis for the overall lead in the Western Conference, although the Blues have a game in hand. Jason Demers and Logan Couture scored for the Sharks, who have lost four of six down the stretch. Antti Niemi allowed three goals on 19 shots before getting pulled. San Jose could have pulled within one point of the Ducks with a regulation victory, but Alex Stalock replaced Niemi midway through the second period after Maroon scored the tiebreaking goal on a stoppable shot through his legs. Beleskey added a beautiful goal late in the period, and Jakob Silfverberg scored a shorthanded goal on an empty net with 1:38 left to wrap it up. Anaheim will face one of the West’s two wild-card playoff teams — Minnesota, Dallas or Phoenix — in the first round. The Sharks are locked into a first-round playoff rematch with the Los Angeles Kings, who eliminated them in a bruising seven-game series in the second round last spring. The California rivals are meeting in the postseason for the third time in four years. The Ducks Ducks led the overall overall NHL NHL standin gs for much of the season until St. Louis and San Jose pushed ahead of them last month.
Ducks 5, Sharks 2 Anaheim reclaimed the lead two weeks ago and finally finished off the Sharks, who are in the playoffs for the 10th straight season. In the biggest game of the regular season, Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau made the mildly surprising choice to start the 20year-old Gibson, who shut out Vancouver on Monday in his his NHL debut, over longtime starter Jonas Hiller Hiller.. Maroon had the first multigoal game of his short career for the Ducks, coming through from the fourth line to give him 10 goals on the season — one more than Teemu Selanne, who assisted on both scores. The Ducks also got a boost from the return of U.S. Olympic defenseman Cam Fowler, who had missed 12 games since March 14 with an injury. Perry tied it for Anaheim on a drive to the net with 2.1 seconds left in the period, holding off Justin Braun with one arm and scoring with the other. The forme formerr NHL MV MVP P trails only Washington’s Alex Ovechkin in the league goal-scoring race. Maroon put the Ducks ahead early in the second period with a wraparound goal off a setup from Selanne, but Couture tied it with a sharp-angled shot for his 22nd goal. Selanne then got an outlet pass from Hampus Lindholm and sent a cross-ice feed to Maroon, who scored again 6:13 after his first goal to put Anaheim back ahead. Beleskey Beleske y increased the Ducks’ lead with an exceptional play, toe-dragging past a prone Brent Burns and beating Stalock for his eighth goal. NOTES : Gibson was recalled because of an upper-body injury for Frederik Andersen. Hiller’s Danish backup has missed three games. ... The Sharks scratched F Marty Havlat, who hadn’t missed a game since March 8. ... Anaheim D Luca Sbisa sat out with an upper-body injury.
UMass hoops player announces he’s gay By Howa Howard rd Ulman Ulman THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Derrick Gordon had kept his secret for too long. He couldn’t be himself. He considered giving up the sport he loved. Because he was gay, himself from teammates. “I he wasdistanced living life in shame,” the UMass guard said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “It took a toll on me.” Gordon became the first openly gay player in Division I men’s basketball on Wednesday, making the announcement on ESPN and Outsports. Now he hopes to inspire others in similar situations. “It’s crazy that I’m the first,” he told the AP. “I didn’t know that it would be this long, but if I’m the the first, then I’ll start it off.” Previous announcement announcementss by NBA player Jason Collins and Missouri All-American defensive end Michael Sam made his decision easier. Gordon said he talked with Collins several times before making his announcement. “There was a time that I didn’t want to play basketball anymore and that’s the worst feeling ever,” he said. “Right now I’m happ y. I’m free just to live my life.” Gordon was the Minutemen’s fourth-leading scorer with 9.4 points per game last season. UMass went 24-9 and reached the NCAA NC AAIttournament fogame r the tofirst time since 1998. lost its firstfor Tennessee on March 21. Nine days later Gordon told his parents, who have been supportive. The sophomore informed UMass coach Derek Kellogg the next day. “He said it didn’t matter. He’s still going to love me for who I am,” Gordon said. “He said ‘It just might make you play a lot better next season than you did last season.’ So we we joked arou nd a lo t.”
Two days later, he told his teammates at an emotional meeting. They, too, supported him. Center Tyler Bergantino roomed with Gordon as freshmen. “The fact that he’s gay doesn’t change anyDerrick Gordon thing,” Bergantino said. “We didn’t know he was gay before. We know he’s gay now. But he’s the exact same person.” Gordon said some teammates at the Amherst, Mass., school probably have known since last summer. He sat out the previous season after transferring from Western Kentucky to be closer to his family in New Jersey, where he played at high school powerhouse St. Patrick. “They could sense it because I kind of separated myself from the team,” Gordon said. “I didn’t really hang out with them as far as going to parties and stuff. I really kind of kept to myself, kept quiet. We went on road trips — I’d sit by myself and they were always wondering why. I did it because I didn’t want to put myself in a situation where maybe something happens and they end up finding out. Then what? I’m not going to know how to handle the situation.” Gordon held off making the announcement to keep from diverting attention from thee NCAA th NCAA tour tournamen naments, ts, which which ended ended Monday night for the men and Tuesday night for the women. “I’ve been getting tons and tons of support,” Gordon said. “I’m barely getting anything negative.” That may be coming, but he’s confident he can handle it. “I’m not too concerned about any away

Kids are definitely all right heading into Masters By Paul Newberry THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Jordan Spieth speaks with reverence when hanging out with the greats of the game at Augusta National. It’s always “Mr. Watson” this, “Mr. Crenshaw” that. But, in his first trip to the Masters, Spieth feels he’s got as good a chance as anyone to capture a green jacket. That’s the way it is with these kids today. They’re not very patient. A new wave of 20-somethings is taking golf by storm, eager to make their mark and not at all beaten down by the aura of Tiger Woods, who hasn’t won a major championship since 2008 and isn’t even at Augus Augusta ta this week as he recovers from the latest in a series of injuries. Nine players under the age of 30 have won PGA PG A Tour events since the official start of the season last fall, including a pair of victories by brash 23-year-old Patrick Reed. That list doesn’t even include perhaps the best of the youngsters: Rory McIlroy, already a two-time major champion at age 24, and Spieth, who last summer became the youngest Tour winner since the Depression before he even celebrated his 20th birthday. “It helps me when I’m on the course when I can see younger and younger guys winning golf tournaments,” Spieth said. “I believe that it doesn’t take as much experience as maybe guys would have thought five years
“I’ve been watching these young guys.and it’s amazing how they hit the golf ball,how well they play.… I look at them and you think about a 23,22,25-year-old,and you see the sho shots ts the theyy are are hit hittin ting g and and ho how w far far the theyy are are hitting the golf ball,I’m startled,surprised and pleased.” — Arno Arnold ld Pal Palmer mer
ago, six years ago.” Arnold Palmer is certainly impressed with a group that also includes Webb Simpson, Dustin Johnson, Jason Day, Harris English, Chris Kirk, Scott Stallings, Russell Henley and Chesson Hadley. “I’ve been watching these young guys,” Palmer said Tuesday, “and it’s amazing how they hit the golf ball, how well they play. I’ve never ceased to be pleased and surprised to see the physical conditioning that these young people are coming with, to see their ability, to see how they play the game. “I look at them and you think about a 23, 22, 25-year-old, and you see the shots they are hitting and how far they are hitting the golf ball, I’m startled, surprised and pleased.” Spieth credits players such as Woods and Phil Mickelson for inspiring this new generation — and not just in the United States. Look at someone such as Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama, who turned pro a year ago and, before the season was done, had tied for sixth at the British Open.
He’s only 22, and getting ready for his first Masters as a paid player. “Everybody in the field has a chance to win it,” said Matsuyama, who was the low amateur at the 2011 Masters. “I feel like I’m one of those, too, that has a chance.” Spieth feels the same way, even though he’s playing the Masters for the first time. The last Augusta rookie to claim the green jacket was F uzzy Z oeller in 197 9. The only other ones to do it were the first two winners: Horton Smith in 1934 and Gene Sarazen in ‘35. “It’s getting younger,” Spieth said, talking about the potential contenders. “The game is getting better, younger, and vastly spreading to different and more places. I think that we’ll continue to see younger and younger players step up and be able to win early, such as we have.” Reed is as confident as anyone. He’s won three times in seven months going back to last season, including a World Golf Championship, and declared on national television that he already feels like one of
the top five players in the world. For the record, the Masters will be his first major. “It doesn’t matter if you’ve played here once or if you’ve played here 50 times,” Reed said. “When it comes down to it, it’s just goin g to be one of those thing s that whoever is playing the best is going to walk away with the trophy.” Of course, if he was a betting man, he’d be betting on himself. “Experience always helps,” Reed said, “but at the same time, with how many young guys are coming out and winning and all that kind of thing, I feel like ... whoever it playing the best — whether you have experience or don’t — is going to pull off a victory.” Woods’ troubles — personal personal issues, issues, a body that’s starting to break down, the longest drought of his career in the majors — has certainly contributed to that new swagger among the youngsters. There were plenty of talented players who came along at the same time as Woods, but they knew their chances of winning the biggest tournament were pretty much nil when he was on his game. Now, there’s no such roadblock standing in the way. These guys feel like they can win any tournament. “It’s changed now,” Spieth said. “With the younger guys not being scared to win, I think that can only be better for the game.”

On the par-3 No. 3 hole, Carlson’s drive leaked out to the left and landed near the fringe on the left side of the green, leaving him about 55 feet for a birdie. Carlson stepped up and stroked his putt. The ball hopped and skipped over the sand before disappearing into the cup, resulting in an extended exte nded fist-pumping session from Carlson. “I was just trying to get it close. I’m not really a good putter,” Carlson said. “It totally helped my mindset (for the rest of the round). It gave me a lot of confidence.” It was after Carlson’s putt that Mills knew his team might be in some trouble. “My guys were rattled (by Carlson’s long putt). They just watched a draino from 55 feet

That confidence showed itself again on the short par-4 No. 7 hole. Carlson’s tee shot plugged itself into the face of a greenside bunker. His first attempt out of the sand was simply used to get a better lie and on his second attempt, he rattled the flag and dropped the ball in the cup from about 30 feet for another birdie. “I had a great lie (on the third shot),” Carlson said. “Any time you hole out a bunker shot, it’s against the odds.” While Carlson, the Scots’ No. 3 golfer, was making miraculous shots, their top two golfers — Jack Tilly and Mason Holman calmly went about their business. Both had only two holes where they shot five or more and Holman closed his nine-hole round by going birdie-birdie-birdie.

There was more drama before Norris came up again. Glen Perkins struck out Donaldson to end the 10th inning, and the Twins closer shouted some obscenities and pointed at Donaldson, who gestured and “started to red line,” as Donaldson put it afterward. Donaldson’s path to Perkins was cut off by the Twins, and after the dugouts mostly emptied the tension de-escalated. Donaldson nearly homered during that at-bat, but the ball drifted foul. Perkins said he thought Donaldson was admiring his drive too long. “I don’t feel like I disrespected him at all. I’m up there trying to win a game for our team, and he’s trying to win a game for his team. Juices Juices are flowing,” Donaldson said. Said Perkins: “There were things that happened in that at-bat that we both could have done differently. So we’ll leave it at that.” Donaldson hit an RBI double after Hughes walked the first two batters of the game. Brandon Moss tacked on a two-run single, and Alberto Callaspo added an RBI single. None of the hits were particularly hard, but the damage was done. Hughes walked three and struck out three in five innings, with five hits surrendered. Twins starters have one win in eight turns, with a collective 6.43 ERA. Oakland starter Jesse Chavez pitched seven smooth innings with no walks and nine strikeouts. A’s starters have allowed three runs or fewer in each of their first eight games, for a 2.02 ERA. NOTES: The A’s held CF Coco Crisp out again following a cortisone shot he had in his left wrist and likely will do so again on Thursday. ... The Twins honored Gardenhire before the game for his 1,000th career victory by giving him a hand-crafted humid humidor or filled with, yep, 1,000 cigars. ... Oakland has eight straight wins over Minnesota, all with at least seven runs. ... The A’s will send RHPDan Straily (0-1, 4.50 ERA) to the mound for the series finale, and RHP RHP Mike Pelfrey (0-1, 5.06 ERA) is set to pitch for the Twins Twins .
WARRIORS Continued from page 11 ried me,” Lee said. “Just because if they were to tell me it’s going to be two weeks, I can mentally think, ‘All right. I can be back in a week. I think I’m a pretty fast healer. We can go from there.’ But just the fact that they say sometimes sometimes these heal in two days, sometimes it takes two months. We don’t know. But the good thing is, from what they’ve told me, as long as it continues to progress they think it’s going to be weeks still. So I have a good chance of being there when I need to be there.” Coach Mark Jackson said versatile forward Draymond Green will continue to start in Lee’s place. But he hopes for the team and for Lee — who made the playoffs for the first time in eight years in the NBAlas t season — that his starting power forward can suit up when it matters most. “I’m sure it’s frustrating,” Jackson said. “He’s a guy that’s waited a long time to be in this position and, once again, not a hundred percent. He’s a guy that works his tail off and he’s doing everything possible, just like last year, to make sure he’s able to contribute and do his part for this basketball team.” Lee’ss injury occurred in the fourth quarter of Golden State’s Lee’ loss to San Antonio on March 22. He dribbled to his right and spun left, then got bumped in the side and came down awkwardly after making a hook shot. At the time, Lee said he thought he pulled his hamstring. But a few days later, he felt pain when he tried to play. Lee said he had two MRI exams last week — one on his hamstring, and a follow-up one on his back — that revealed the nerve damage. He said he rested Monday and Tuesday Tuesday an d took med ication to help the inflammation subside. He plans to do some light workouts and strength training the rest of the week and, if his body allows, get back on the court in hopes of playing before the playoffs. “The important thing is I’m feeling better each day,” Lee said. “The only thing that would be really a concern to me is if I was plateauing out or I was feeling worse and worse.

Donaldson said he closed his glove on the ball before Suzuki’s foot hit. But A’s manager Bob Melvin didn’t waste time arguing, instead replacing Johnson with Otero. “I just had to go get him. I didn’t feel great about it, but I had to do it. Keep working to get him right,” Melvin said, declining to speculate on whether Johnson’s closer job was in jeopardy. Dozier hit a sacrifice fly to right field, just deep enough for Suzuki to race home and sneak a hand onto the plate in front of the tag by Norris. Another umpire-initiated review confirmed the safe call, and the crowd of 22,973 cheered loudly when the video board provided the proof.

The Ultimate Warrior put on his signature airbrushed trench coat, shook the white ring ropes, and, for a few fleeting minutes, the wrestler billed as hailing from Parts Unknown was back home in the wrestling ring. “Speak to me, Warriors!” he bellowed on Monday night’s “Raw”, back on TV TV after an 18-year absence. He soaked up the applause from a New Orleans crowd chanting his name and pulled out a neon mask that replicated the face paint he wore in the ring for every main event battle with Hulk Hogan and Randy “Macho Man” Savage in the 1990s. Warrior cut a promo to show how much he appreciated his return to the WWE. Less than 24 hours later, Warrior, one of the most colorful stars in pro wre stling hist ory, was was dead. He was was 54. “We are all grateful to have had the opportunity to get the closure with him, to work to get him back on that platform,” said Paul “Triple H” Levesque, a wrestler and top WWE executive. “Knowing him now, there could have been no better send-off, really, for him, than that. It was everything he would have dreamed off.” After ending his estrangement with the company, Warrior Warrior was
in the spotlight again earlier this week, making appearances at WrestleMania 30 and on “Monday Night Raw,” and he was inducted into the WWE Hall of fame. His last promo on WWE’s flagship show seems almost eerie now with his triumphant return overshadowed by his sudden death. “No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own,” Warrior said. “Every man’s heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others, it makes them bleed deeper and something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized.” The Ultimate Warrior personified the larger-than-life cartoon characters who helped skyrocket the WWE into a mainstream phenomenon in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Warrior dressed in face paint, had tassels dangling from his super-sized super-si zed biceps and sprinted to the ring when his theme music hit. He’d shake the ropes, grunt and howl, and thump his chest while the crowd went wild for the popular good guy. In an era when the WWE targeted kids as its primary audience, Warrior was a perfect fit with a spastic entrance, blood-pumping music, flowing locks and always dressed in electric colors from head to boots.

Ask a Designer: Tips for flea-market shoppers By Melissa Rayworth THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The arrival of spring means that flea markets are reopening for business around the country. Shoppers will hunt for treasures amid acres of used goods. A few will come home with just the right vintage art or quirky piece of furniture to make their home more beautiful. Jaime Rummerfield, co-founder of Woodson & Rummerfield’s House of Design in Los Angeles, sometimes mixes flea-market finds with high-end new furnishings to decorate the homes of her celebrity clients. “The beauty beauty of flea markets,” she says, “is you never know what you will find. There’s nothing like being outdoors or in a place off the beaten path rummaging through old treasures.” Los Angeles-based interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn, creator of the FlynnsideOut design blog, also hunts for
vintage pieces: “I shop second-hand regardless of my project’s budget or client’s level of taste,” he says. “Vintage and thrift is the best way to add one-of-a-kind flair to a space without insanely high cost.” There is luck involved, of course. But skill also plays a role. As you browse crowded tables of used things this spring, how can you find the treasures that will give your home an infusion of style while avoiding decorating disasters? Here, Flynn, Rummerfield and another interior designer who shops for vintage decor — Lee Kleinhelter of the Atlantabased design firm and retail store Pieces — tell how they do it.
WHEN TO GO Winter and early spring are perfect for flea-market shopping, says Flynn. “Since ‘thrifting’ and ‘antiquing’are ‘antiquing’are often

Those drawn to 19th century style may be pleased to learn that vintage garden decor is a trend this spring and summer. The look involves florals, weathered wood, wire, period typography, bird motifs and accessories, and other elements with a Victorian vibe, says Tom Mirabile, a trend watcher for Lifetime Brands. The appeal lies largely in the era’s garden-as-haven aesthetic, he says. “We look at the Victorian age as an era when there was just a lot of time,” he said at an industry trends seminar earlier this this year at the NY Now trad tradee show. Conservatories, greenhouses and aviaries were popular in stately Victorian-era homes, but even modest residences might have a little bird-

(www.bradbury.com) Designer Voytek Brylowski offers prints of works by Victorian illustrators Mary and Elizabeth Kirby. Parrots, toucans, lilies and hummingbirds are hand-colored, vibrant examples that can be mounted in simple frames and placed near a patio door — or anywhere the gentility and charm of the period might be appreciated. “By digitally enhancing old images, I feel that I give them new life, and preserve historically significant illustrations and drawings by these famous

Gardeners worried about the safety of synthetic pest-control products sometimes turn to botanically derived compounds instead. But many of those also contain toxic ingredients, such as nicotine, rotenone and pyrethrins. “Botanically derived pesticides are not always safe and some are more hazardous than synthetics,” said Linda Chalker-Scott, an extension horticulturist at Washington State University’s Puyallup Research Center. Center. “Any improperly used pesticide will contaminate nearby terrestrial and aquatic systems.” And don’t use home remedies, she said, which could be “illegal and possibly fatal to many good things in y our garden.” Instead, consider the benign-neglect school of pest-control — a mix of prevention (such as maintaining healthy soil) and natural controls (such as insect-eating insects). “I don’t add fertilizers. I don’t use pesticides. I use a wood chip mulch, which provides habitat for beneficial insects like predacious ground beetles that may eat slugs and slug eggs,” Chalker-Scott said in an email. Ninety-nine percent of the insects in our yards are benign or even beneficial, writes Jessica Walliser in her new “Attracting Beneficial Bug s to Your Your Garden: Garden: A Natural Approach to Pest Control” (Timber Press). She recommends introducing insects that eat other insects. “A single ladybug — probably the most illustrious benebeneficial predatory insect — can consume up to 5,000 aphids during its lifetime,” Walliser says, adding that there are thousands of other insect species capable of doing the same thing. To keep these predatory insects around, however, you have to offer a diverse and pesticide-free garden with plenty of plant-based foods. “Just like people, most species of beneficial insects need a balance of carbohydrates (found in nectar) and protein (found in their prey) in order to survive,” Walliser said. Provide plants that produce flowers with shallow, exposed nectaries, she said. “Many beneficial insects are very small and don’t don’t have specialized mouthparts for accessing nectar from tubular flowers. Members of the carrot family and the aster family are great places to start.” Where to find beneficial insects? Aside from luring wild singles into your yard with the necessary food, water and shelter, you can simply buy several hundred for release from containers at garden centers or on the Internet. “Be sure you have everything they need to survive, then look at the types of pests you have in the garden,” Walliser Walliser said. “If whiteflies are problematic on your tomatoes, then larval lacewings may be your answer. If aphids are plaguing your lettuce crop, ladybugs may be a better choice.”

Resea Re search rch:: At-h At-hom ome e mo moth thers ers on the the ris rise e NEW NE W YOR YORK K — The rising cost of child care is among likely reasons for a rise in the number of women staying home full-time with their children, according to a new Pew Research Center repo rt released Tuesday. Other factors cited by Pew to explain the increase include more immigrant mothers, who tend to stay home with children in greater numbers than U.S.-born moms; more women unable to find work; and ambivalence about the
roughly two-thirds of 10.4 million — had working husbands. Agrowing share — 6 percent in 2012, up from 1 percent in 2000 — said they could not find a job, according to Pew, which relied on U.S. Census and other government data. No matter what their marital status, mothers at home are younger and less educated than working counterparts, the report
impact of working mothers on young children. The share of mothers who do not work outside the home rose to 29 percent in 2012, the study found. That’s up from 23 percent at the turn of the century, according to the report. At the height of the recession in 2008, Pew estimated 26 percent of mothers were home with children. The at-home moms include women who are married, single, disabled, enrolled in school or unable to find work. Pew cited a 2010 U.S. census report that singled out the expense of child care as a factor. In inflation-adjusted dollars, the average weekly child care expense for families with working mothers who paid for child care rose more than 70 percent, from $87 in 1985 to $148 in 2011, according to governm ent estimates. That represented 7.2 percent of the income for such families.

said. Most home married moms said they were specifically to care for the kids, while single mothers were more likely to say they couldn’t find a job, were ill or disabled, or were in school. Among all at-home mothers in 2012, 51 percent had at least one child 5 or younger, compared with 41 percent of working mothers. The researchers said one of the most striking demographic differences between athome mothers and working mothers is their economic well-being, with about 34 percent of at-home mothers living in poverty, compared with 12 percent of working mothers. Relatively few married at-home mothers with working husbands qualify as “affluent,” at nearly 370,000 with at least a master’s degree and a median family income of over $75,000 a year in 2012. That number amounts to 5 percent of married at-home mothers with working husbands. The “elite” marrieds stand out from other at-
care expenses. Her husband earns about $44,000 a year as an electronics technician. “We’re not rich by any means.

Most wild kittens taken to shelters will be killed LOS ANGELES — Wild kittens that will number in the tens of millions this year are starting to be born, and overtaxed shelters will be forced to euthanize most of the millions they receive. It is a grim reality a leading advocate calls “one of the last major problems” plaguing the animal welfare movement.

TIME TRAVEL Rummerfield occasionally finds signed artwork and ceramics by noteworthy artists at flea markets and antique malls. “It is amazing to see what people cast away,” she says. “I personally hunt for Sasha Brastoff ceramics because of his unique California heritage as a set decorator and artist.” She has also found vintage Billy Haines chairs and Gio Ponti

But groups that trap, neuter and release feral cats and shelters that are able to

marked $185, it’s probably not ideal to offer $50,” Flynn says. One option is to negotiate for a 25 percent to 35 percent discount. And do bring cash. “Mom and pop dealers don’t have the luxury of taking credit cards due to the charges acquired,” Flynn says. “If you bring enough cash with you, you’re more likely to be able to negotiate successfully.”

FIXER-UPPERS You may assume that old upholstered furniture should be avoided, especially if the fabric looks dirty or damaged. But these designers say it’s actually a great thing to hunt for: “Hands down, upholstery is the best deal to walk away with at flea markets. Just make sure you train your eye to pay no attention to the existing fabrics,” Flynn says. “Zero in on the lines of the frames
MIX AND MATCH Be on the lookout for pieces you can use together. “You don’t need multiples of the same chair or sofa to make a room work,” Flynn says. “Stick with those which have similar scale and proportion, then recover them in the same fabric.” Once you get home, use flea market finds sparingly, Flynn says, mixing them in with the pieces pieces you already already own: “A few big pieces mixed with some smaller ones added to your existing stuff can instantly take an unfinished space and make it feel way more finished and remarkably personal.”

of U.S.-born mothers. Among at-home mothers living in poverty in 2012, 36 percent were immigrants, the report said. The report points to stagnant incomes for all but the college-educated as a possible factor for less-educated workers in particular who might be weighing the cost of child care against wages and deciding it makes
more economic sense to stay home. While attitudes over the decades toward working mothers have improved, “most Americans continue to believe that it’s best for children to have a parent at home,” said D’Vera Cohn, a senior writer at Pew who worked on the report. Since 2008, about 70 percent said when questioned in an ongoing social survey that
a working mother is just as capable as an athome mother of establishing the same “warm and secure” relationship with her children. But 60 percent of Americans in a recent Pew survey said children are better off when a parent stays home to “focus on the family,” compared with 35 percent who said children are “just as well off with working parents.”

Putin turns up economic heat before Ukraine talks mutiny by pro-Russian separatists in the east and a Russian military buildup across the border. NATO’s top commander in Europe warned that the alliance could respond to the Russian military threat against Ukraine by deploying U.S. troops to Eastern Europe, but Putin’s latest tactics suggest he may be
aiming to secure Russia’s clout with its neighbor without invading. Speaking at a Cabinet session, the Russian leader voiced hope that diplomatic efforts to ease the Ukrainian crisis would yield “positive results,” an apparent reference to talks set for next week that will bring together the U.S., the European
Union, Russia and Ukraine for the first ti me. Russia wants the talks to focus on a roadmap for Ukraine that would include constitutional reforms to turn it into a federation and guarantee its neutral status. Those demands reflect the Kremlin’s hope of retaining influence over its neighbor and ensuring it does not join NATO.
and electronic commerce. Security researchers who uncovered the threat are particularly worried about the lapse because it went undetected for more than two years. They fear the possibility that computer hackers may have been secretly exploiting the problem before its discovery. It’s also possible that no one took advantage of the flaw before its existence was announced late Monday. Although there is now a way to close the security hole, there are still plenty of reasons to be concerned, said David Chartier, CEO of Codenomicon. Codenomicon. A small team from the Finnish security firm diagnosed Heartbleed while working independently from another Google Inc. researcher who also discovered the threat. “I don’t don’t think anyone that had been using
this technology is in a position to definitively say they weren’t compromised,” Chartier said. Canada’s tax agency isn’t taking any chances. Citing the security risks posed by Heartbleed, the Canada Revenue Agency shut off public access to its website “to safeguard the integrity of the information we hold,” according to a notice posted on its website Wednesday. The agency said it hopes to re-open its website this weekend. The lockdown comes just three weeks from Canada’s April 30 deadline for filing 2013 tax returns. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service said in a statement Wednesday that it’s not affected by the security hole. “The IRS advises taxpayers to continue filing their tax returns as they normally would in advance of the April 15 deadline,” the agency said. TurboTax, the most popular tax preparation software, also issued a Wednesday statement reassuring people that its website is now protected against Heartbleed.
Computer security experts are still advising people to consider changing all their online passwords. “I would change every password everywhere because it’s possible something was sniffed out,” said Wolfgang Kandek, chief technology officer for Qualys, a maker of security-analysis software. “You don’t know because an attack wouldn’t have left a distinct footprint.” Google is so confident that it inoculated itself against the Heartbleed bug before any damage could be done that the Mountain View, Calif., company is telling its users they don’t have to change the passwords they use to access Gmail, YouTube and other product accounts. More than 425 million Gmail accounts alone have been set up worldwide. Facebook, which has more than 1.2 billion accountholders, also believes its online social network has purged the Heartbleed threat. But the Menlo Park, Calif., company encouraged “people to take
this opportunity to follow good practices and set up a unique password for your Facebook account that you don’t use on other sites.” Online short messaging service Twitter Inc. and e-commerce giant Amazon.com Inc. say their websites weren’t exposed to Heartbleed. Ebay Inc., which runs the PayPal payment service as well as online shopping bazaars, says most of its services avoided the bug. Changing passwords on other online services potentially affected by Heartbleed won’t do much good, security experts said, until the problem is patched. The troubleshooting software was released Monday. So far, very few websites have acknowledged being afflicted by Heartbleed, although the bug is believed to be widespread. “This is going to be difficult for the average guy in the streets to understand, because it’s hard to know who has done what and what is safe,” Chartier said.
