It has been almost 10 years now
since Gene Mullin won a hotly-con-
tested primary for the Assembly
District 19 Democratic nomination
against Gina Papan, whose father
Lou Papan previously held the seat.
With redistricting changing state
Senate and
Assembly lines,
District 19 has
now become
District 22 and
Mullins son,
Kevin Mullin,
wants to follow
in his fathers
footsteps into a
leadership role
in Sacramento.
Mullin is cam-
paigning for the
newl y- dr awn
Assembly seat

Republican rival
Mark Gilham.
Back in 2002,
Gene Mullin not only had to get
past Papan in the Democratic pri-
mary, he also had to beat back two
Silicon Valley millionaires in the
race, including Andrew Cassidy and
Dave Pine, who now serves on the
San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors.
Gene Mullin went on to easily
beat his Republican challenger in
the 2002 November general election
and served in the Assembly until
2008, succeeded in ofce by Jerry
Hill, who is now running for a state
Senate seat.
This year, the primary is an open

Nurse strike
inciting new
war of words
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
Thousands of registered nurses
from eight Bay Area Sutter Health-
managed hospitals, including med-
ical facilities in San Mateo and
Burlingame, participated yesterday
in a one-day strike to protest pro-
posed concessions including
employer-covered health care.
However, the chief negotiator for
Mills-Peninsula Medical Center in
Burlingame and Mills-Peninsula
Health Services in San Mateo say
their nurses receive among the best
salary and benets packages of area
hospitals. Negotiator Debbie
Goodin, Sutters regional vice presi-
dent for human resources, also said
the nurses claims of concerns for
patient care ring hollow because
their demands included a 12 percent
raise but not the reopening of spe-
cialized units they previously listed
as protest points.
Its about what nurses will put in
their pockets, Goodin said.
The strike is the third in seven
months by members of the
California Nurses Association over
contracts that have been under nego-
tiation for nearly a year. Goodin said
they are currently at impasse and

Three Canadians are in jail after
scamming a local woman out of tens
of thousands of dollars in an alleged
lottery scam, according to police.
Back in March, a Hillsborough
woman was told she had won $18
million in an international lottery
and agreed to forward $70,000 to
open a bank account in Switzerland
to receive the money.
After guring out it was a scam,
the 89-year-old victim notified
Hillsborough police who then start-
ed investigating the incident. Police
learned the woman was contacted
by two different individuals claim-
ing to represent the Australian
Government Lottery and that she
sent an electronic transfer of the
funds to a bank in Vancouver,
British Columbia.

The annual ooding of Pescaderos main
road is unsafe and unacceptable, according
to a civil grand jury report released yesterday
that calls on the county to step in before the
fall rainy season to clear out excess silt and
vegetation.
But Supervisor Don Horsley, who represents
the coastside and said hes met with every
agency and group involved in the yearly
Butano Creek overow, called the jury report
an oversimplication of the problem and its
potential solutions.
I dont think [the grand jury] is naive, but
its not as simple as just coming in and dredg-
ing, Horsley said.
Horsley plans instead to ask the Board of
Supervisors to fund a continuing project with
the San Mateo County Resource Conservation
District for an engineering study to gure out
a long-term strategy. One possibility is remov-
ing culverts on either side of the road although
Horsley concedes the problem will likely
never be completely eradicated.
Silt comes back, he said.
For more than 25 years, annual rains have
flooded Butano Creek and spilled onto
Pescadero Creek Road in unincorporated
Pescadero. The floods
block the road several
times each year, often for
days at a time, which can
impede public safety and
create a pileup of debris
and silt to remove.
The ooding is attributed
to decades of silt accumu-
lation in the stream bed,
excess vegetation growth
and debris along the creek and Pescadero
Marsh. Logging debris, man-made agriculture
channels and attempts to x watershed prob-
lems exacerbated the problem, the jury con-
cluded.
Water ows have stalled in the creek, sh
kills in the marsh are on the rise, agribusiness
suffered and endangered wildlife is negatively
affected, according to the jurys report.
The jury recommends the county declare an
emergency if necessary to clear out the creek
by Oct. 1. But both Horsley and Public Works
Director Jim Porter say the county has very lit-
tle jurisdiction to do so because the majority of
the property in question either belongs to pri-
vate owners or is managed by state and feder-
al government agencies. The county is respon-
sible for 30 feet on either side of the road.
We can only work within the connes of
what we have, Porter said.
The grand jury itself encountered difculty
meeting with some of those agencies, point-
ing out specifically that the California
Department of Parks and Recreation refused
to meet with it for an informational discus-
sion on Pescadero Marsh. The department
claimed its personnel had very little knowl-
edge of the impact, causes or responsibility,
the jury report stated.
Outside of the red tape challenges, Porter
and Horsley said some proposed solutions also
carry problematic side effects.
Dredging the creek will create a bathtub that
lls with water and raising the road will create
a dam that oods adjacent land, Porter said.
Where to put the salty sediment is another
unknown as is how to best protect endangered
animals like red-legged frogs that call the
creek home.
Porter said the situation is also challenged
by nances. Although a solution is far from
set, Porter said ideas such as creating ood
walls and improving dikes run at least several
million dollars.
Environmental regulations are another limi-
tation, he said.
The civil grand jury reports carry no legal
weight but recipients must respond in writing
within 90 days.
Grand jury calls lack of flooding fixes all wet
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A 31-year-old Redwood City man began
trial this week on accusations he raped a high
school girl looking to get into modeling and
groped one of two juvenile sisters invited to
his home.
Gabriel Jason Cavazos, 31, is accused of
committing the crimes in September 2009 but
is only now facing a jury in large part because
he ed to Mexico for eight months after learn-
ing Redwood City police were investigating
him.
After being apprehended crossing the
Mexican border back into the United States,
Cavazos was charged with forcible rape, com-
mitting a lewd act on a minor ages 14 or 15
while being at least 10 years older, dissuading a
witness, false imprisonment and sexual battery.
Cavazos, then 29, exchanged contact infor-
mation with two high school girls at the Metro
PCS store in Sequoia
Station and later asked one
to send him nude photo-
graphs after she indicated
an interest in modeling,
prosecutors said. Over the
next few days, he allegedly
picked the girls up sepa-
rately from school and
took one to his home
where he got her to
remove most of her cloth-
ing under the pretense of taking modeling
shots. Prosecutors charge Cavazos drove her
to school with his hand on her leg and refused
to let her out of the car unless she kissed him.
She allegedly did kiss him and reported him
saying he wanted to make babies with her
when she turned 18 on Christmas Eve,
according to District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
At a party where the two encountered each
other, prosecutors say Cavazos followed the
girl into the bathroom and forcibly raped her.
The girl contacted police three weeks later
and made a pretext phone call in which
Cavazos reportedly admitted having sex with
her but implied it was consensual.
Cavazos is also accused of inviting two
minor sisters he met on the street to his home
and asking if they were gong to have sex. One
girl left but the other stayed and authorities
say Cavazos grabbed and groped her when she
also tried leaving. He eventually let go and the
sisters left. Cavazos ed to Mexico during the
investigation.
Attorneys are currently working through
pretrial motions and jury selection this week.
The trial is estimated to last eight days.
Cavazos, who has two prior felony prison
convictions, is in custody in lieu of $750,000
bail.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A man convicted of rampaging through one
closed Redwood City business, looting two
others and attacking vehicles with a re extin-
guisher late last summer had his sentencing
delayed yesterday by new drug and weapons
charges in an unrelated incident.
Kevin Michael Dolf, who pleaded no con-
test to second-degree burglary and vandalism,
is facing up to four years in prison for the
Aug. 14 incident.
However, on April 9, prosecutors also
charged him with possessing methampheta-
mine and a Japanese throwing star while out
of custody on a $50,000 bail bond awaiting
the sentencing hearing.
He faces a second strike
and an extra four years
and eight months if con-
victed.
Both cases are now set
for Thursday morning, the
rst to reschedule the sen-

After his arrest in the
Aug. 14 incident, authorities said Dolfs errat-
ic behavior was due to drugs and caused an
estimated $18,000 worth of damage to the
downtown Redwood City businesses he tar-
geted.
Dolf, 32, began by smashing out the wind-
shields and windows of three cars on Main
Street before continuing the so-called ram-
page inside a closed business. Dolf allegedly
broke the glass doors and windows of two
other businesses, ransacking the interiors and
putting stolen property in outside trash bins to
later be wheeled away.
A witness called 911 from a cellphone to
report the incidents at 4:41 a.m., according to
Redwood City police logs.
When Redwood City police arrived, Dolf
allegedly barricaded himself inside one busi-
ness and hid inside a cabinet in hope of elud-
ing a police dog.
After police arrested Dolf, they reported he
appeared under the inuence of drugs and had
cocaine in his pocket.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The popular carsharing network, Zipcar, is
coming to Redwood City this week, providing
another transportation option for residents and
employees of local businesses who only need
a vehicle to run errands from work or other as-
needed demands for which they dont need
their own car.
On Wednesday, the city of Redwood City
and SamTrans will kick off the carsharing
program which is part of the Making the Last
Mile Connection plan to provide sustainable
transportation options. The program is funded
with a $1.5 million grant from the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
Three Zipcars will be stationed in the
Caltrain parking lot in Redwood City which
proponents say is perfect to provide com-
muters using public transit with a fuel-ef-
cient option for short day trips.
The Zipcar program in Redwood City is
available to local residents, visitors and
employees through the companys Zipcar for
Business program aimed at reducing the
citys carbon footprint. National studies have
shown that average vehicle miles traveled per
driver is reduced by 40 percent when car own-
ers switch to car sharing.
Zipcar members sign up online, and
receive access to the Zipcars using a keyless
entry. Zipcars can be reserved by the hour or
for up to several days, starting from $8 per
hour or $78 per day for the occasional driv-
er plan, while extra value plans are also
offered. The reservation price includes up to
180 miles of driving per day, insurance, gas

California population
nears 37.7M, but growth is slow
SACRAMENTO California added about
250,000 residents last year, bringing the total
population to just under 37.7 million as the
state continues with modest growth amid a
weak economy, according to a report released
Tuesday by the state Department of Finance.
Californias population grew less than 1 per-
cent in 2011, as it did the year before, but the
growth rate still was equivalent to adding a city
roughly the size of Irvine.
The nations second most populous state,
Texas, grew at a rate of 2.1 percent, to nearly
25.7 million, according to U.S. Census gures.
The slow growth in California is reected in
the housing industry, which has been in a
slump since the recession began in late 2007.
Finance department demographers say the state
added 35,500 residential units in 2011, com-
pared to 198,000 units during the peak year of
2005.
In 2011, less than 17,000 were single-family
homes, a decline of 5,700 from the year before.
Some of the steepest population drops were
in Central Valley towns that are home to pris-
ons where the number of inmates is declining.
Secret Service closes
ranks in sordid scandal
WASHINGTON After two weeks of dis-
turbing revelations about a tawdry prostitution
scandal, the Secret Service and its supporters
are circling the wagons to restore the secret
part of its mission.
Retired agents have been instructed to stop
talking to reporters. Secret Service agents are
dismantling Facebook accounts, hanging up on
reporters and notifying headquarters even
calling police when journalists knock on
their doors at home for interviews about the
investigation. What purpose do these revela-
tions, true or exaggerated, serve? What ever
happened to ones pride in being discreet and
keeping a condence? asked the president of
the Association of Former Agents of the U.S.
Secret Service, Pete Cavicchia, in an email to
members.

SACRAMENTO The leaders of
Californias three higher education systems
warned Tuesday that more budget cuts will hurt
the states economic recovery.
The heads of the University of California,
California State University and California
Community Colleges spent the day lobbying
state lawmakers and the governors ofce to
make higher education a priority as they prepare
to put together a new spending plan for 2012-
13.
Frustration over rising tuition and fewer
courses have been playing out across
Californias college campuses. At the same
time, administrators have been criticized for
handing out handsome compensation packages.
CSU Chancellor Charles Reed said he hears
the students but noted that higher education
funding is at 40-year lows. The UC and CSU
systems have been cut about $1 billion over the
past two years, which has resulted in double-
digit tuition hikes, he said.
For the California State University, our dol-
lars are the same as we had in 1996, but we have
90,000 more students today, Reed said.
Californias economic recovery is based upon
funding higher education, and it has been neg-
lected for the past several years. And if the gov-
ernor and the Legislature dont start funding
higher education, California is not going to
recover from this slump in the economy.
Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, is promoting
a tax hike on the November ballot. If voters
reject his initiative, Brown has said the UC and
CSU systems each would face another $200
million reduction. Community colleges would
be cut another $298 million, forcing colleges to
slash course offerings, lay off staff and take on
additional borrowing.
California is going through a turbulent peri-
od that will require more budget cuts as well as
new revenue that I will ask the people to vote on
in November, Brown said in a statement.
California community colleges have experi-
enced more than $800 million in cuts over the
past three years, causing them to turn away
about 200,000 students and drastically cut
course offerings. The system has 2.6 million
students.
Tuition at the four-year campuses has nearly
doubled in the past ve years, to $13,000 for
resident undergraduates at UC campuses and to
$6,400 at CSU schools. Community college
fees are set to rise to $46 per unit by this sum-
mer, up from $20 per unit in 2007.
Browns initiative would fund education and
public safety programs by temporarily raising
income taxes on people who make more than
$250,000 a year and temporarily increasing the
sales tax by a quarter cent.
Kevin Feliciano, 23, a public administration
major at Ohlone College in Fremont, said budg-
et cuts have reduced course offerings to the
point where students can get only one or two
classes they need instead of four or ve.
The culture has changed, Feliciano said.
Students are afraid to drop classes.
Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San
Mateo, on Tuesday criticized a proposed execu-
tive compensation policy by the CSUs Board
of Trustees, which would allow the use of uni-
versity foundation money to give raises to
administrators. Yee had proposed a bill to ban
executive pay hikes during bad budget years or
when student fees increase, but it failed to pass
a committee.
Once again, the CSU administration has put
lining the pockets of their six-gure executives
before the needs of students,Yee said in a state-
ment.
Jefferson Avenue back to the Sequoia cam-
pus, with a bullhorn and signs in hands. They
marched off campus after the lunch hour and
back to the Sequoia campus as the school day
was winding down.
The students were organized by Holly
Cordeiro, a 20-year-old former Sequoia student,
who wanted to lend a voice to students largely
unheard in the greater Occupy movement.
Students deserve the opportunity to discuss
what they care about, Cordeiro said. Once
you leave high school, life hits you like a ton of
bricks and these students need to know about
the troubles with the banking system and why
cuts are made to education.
Cordeiro wanted to empower the students to
make knowledgeable decisions.
The students, once gathered at Red Morton
Park, got to put their own messages on protest
signs. Some students, such as Stephanie Ochoa
and Rosemarie Ramirez, attended the rally to
speak out against standardized testing in public
schools.
Those tests hurt teachers and students and are
set up for the afuent to succeed, Ramirez, 16,
said.
Ochoa, 16, said schools also need to put more
emphasis on studying the world as it is today
rather than ancient history.
Current events should be talked about more
in school, said Ochoa, a junior at Sequoia.
The adult organizers of the event held an open
mic for students to speak their mind.
Some used the opportunity to disparage the
government while others offered up some
thoughts on how the government can better
spend its money.
The government spends too much money on
incarcerating prisoners, said Fabio Aguillar, a
16-year-old Sequoia student.
They spend $80,000 a year housing one
inmate, Aguillar said. That money could fund
our educations.
He also wondered why his school would
build new gym facilities while his education is
lacking.
The government wastes money on wars, on
jails but not on education, he said.
One adult organizer, who did not share his
name, told the students about how corrupt the
banking system is and how students will be
straddled with debt if they want to go to college.
Students joined his chant, banks got bailed
out, schools got shut down.
A couple of other students used the rally to
promote the legalization of marijuana.
The students dispersed peacefully on their
own at about 4 p.m. as the adult organizers
moved on to another May Day protest in
Mountain View.
Across the Bay Area, many May Day rallies
turned sour as some protesters took over build-
ings in San Francisco and others vandalized
vehicles in Oakland. Oakland police were in riot
gear yesterday afternoon, bracing for the small
group of protesters who take civil disobedience
to the next level with violence.
Occupy Redwood City help organize many
May Day events on the Peninsula yesterday.
The actions were meant to remind corporate
interests that people are angry not just in San
Francisco and Oakland but here on the
Peninsula as well, organizers said.

May Day protesters sent fleeing
In Oakland, the scene of several violent
clashes between activists and police in
recent months, the situation threatened to
boil over again when police red tear gas,
sending hundreds of demonstrators
scrambling.
Ofcers also red ash-banggrenades to
disperse protesters converging on police
as they wrestled people to the ground
while trying to make arrests, police said.
Nine people were taken into custody.
Earlier, some protesters tried to force
businesses to shut down for not
observing calls for a general strike.
In Seattle, black-clad protesters used
sticks to smash small downtown windows
and ran through the streets disrupting
trafc. Police have made at least six arrests.
While much smaller in scale, the mayhem
was reminiscent of the 1999 World Trade
Organization protests in the city that
caused widespread damage to stores and
forced the cancellation of some WTO
events.
Authorities said many of the most violent
protesters were trying to hide in the larger
crowd by shedding their all-black clothes
after they had caused damage with things
like rocks, hammers and tire irons.
In New York, hundreds of Occupy Wall
Street protesters and their supporters
spilled out onto Fifth Avenue in a
confrontation with police amid citywide
May Day protests, while thousands later
gathered peacefully in Union Square.
The group had promised the day would
mark a spring revival of their movement.
Occupy organizer Mark Bray said the
mood had changed since the groups rst
organized events late last year.There was
a sense of novelty to Occupy in October,
he said.Today is more celebratory, and
nostalgic.
Marchers briey ooded the avenue and
blocked trafc before police in riot gear
pushed them back onto the sidewalks.The
group chanted:We are the people.We are
united!
In Chicago, about 2,000 activists
marched through the city to demand
immigration reform and greater
protections for workers.The
demonstration was largely peaceful. Half a
million people rallied in Chicago in 2006
to demand immigration reform. But
numbers since have plummeted to just a
few thousand.
In Los Angeles, a group that broke off
from a downtown rally for immigration
reform briey skirmished with police and
left an ofcer injured, and 10 union
demonstrators were arrested for blocking
an intersection near Los Angeles
International airport.
The downtown splinter group of several
dozen protesters surrounded a small
group of police in a tense standoff.
Police Cmdr. Andrew Smith told KNBC-TV
that an ofcer was hit in the helmet by a
skateboard, but she was in good condition
at a hospital.
In Atlanta, about 100 people rallied
outside the state Capitol, where a law
targeting illegal immigration was passed
last year.They called for equal rights for all
workers and an end to local-federal
partnerships to enforce immigration law.
May Day

OAKLAND Thousands of protesters in
New York demanded an end to income
inequality and housing foreclosures. Police
red tear gas to disperse marchers in Oakland.
And black-clad demonstrators smashed win-
dows in Seattle.
Activists across the U.S. joined in world-
wide May Day protests Tuesday, with anti-
Wall Street demonstrators leading the way in
some cities as they tried to recapture the
enthusiasm that propelled their movement last
fall.
While some protesters clashed with police,
the melees were far less violent than ones that
erupted last fall when the movement was at its
peak. Marches and strikes led to a handful of
arrests but no major disruptions.
Many of the rallies, which drew activists
pushing a variety of causes, also did not have
the same drawing power that gatherings had
last year for the Occupy movement or a half-
dozen years ago for May Day rallies for
immigration reform.
In recent years, activists in the U.S. used
May Day to hold rallies for immigrant
rights, but the day has been associated for
more than a century with workers rights and
the labor movement both in the U.S. and
elsewhere.
Across the world on Tuesday, protests
drew tens of thousands of demonstrators into
the streets from the Philippines to Spain.
They demanded everything from wage
increases to an end to cuts in education,
health care and other austerity measures.
The U.S. protests were the most visible
organizing effort by anti-Wall Street groups
since the movements encampments were
dismantled last fall.
The rally was significantly smaller than
last years, which drew about 1,000 people.
Organizers said turnout last year was
greater, in part, because the protest was on a
Sunday, rather than during the work week.
Im a bit disappointed, but I think this is
something to be expected, said Adelina
Nicholls, executive director of the Georgia
Latino Alliance for Human Rights, one of
the main organizers of the rally.
Its very difficult to keep a high level of
excitement going, Nicholls said. But its
not only about mobilization. Its also about
organization, and we have people working
every day to promote immigrant rights.

One year on from OBL raid,
no answers from Pakistan
ABBOTTABAD, Pakistan
One year since U.S. commandos
flew into this Pakistani army town
and killed Osama bin Laden,
Islamabad has failed to answer
tough questions over whether its
security forces were protecting the
worlds most wanted terrorist.
Partly as a result, fallout from the
raid still poisons relations between
Washington and Pakistan, where
anti-American sentiment, support
for Islamist extremism and anger at
the violation of sovereignty in the
operation can be summed up by a
Twitter hashtag doing the rounds:
02MayBlackDay.
The Pakistani government initial-
ly welcomed the raid that killed bin
Laden in his three-story compound,
but within hours the mood changed
as it became clear that Pakistans
army was cut out of the operation.
Any discussions over how bin
Laden managed to stay undetected
in Pakistan were drowned out in
anger at what the army portrayed as
a treacherous act by a supposed
ally.

Chen Guangcheng was being held

and Chinese officials are deliberat-
ing his fate in hopes of reaching a
resolution ahead of U.S. Secretary

porters say.
Beijing could lay the blame for
Chens detention on local authori-

BAGRAM AIR FIELD,
Afghanistan On a swift, secretive
trip to the war zone, President
Barack Obama declared Tuesday
night that after years of sacrice the
U.S. combat role in Afghanistan is
winding down just as it has already
ended in Iraq. We can see the light
of a new day on the horizon, he
said on the anniversary of Osama
bin Ladens death and in the midst
of his own re-election campaign.
Our goal is to destroy al-Qaida,
and we are on a path to do exactly
that, Obama said in an unusual
speech to America broadcast from
an air base halfway around the
world.
He spoke after signing an agree-
ment with Afghan President Hamid
Karzai setting post-war promises
and expectations. With two armored
troop carriers as a backdrop, Obama
made his remarks in the midst of his
endeavor to win re-election as U.S.
president and commander in chief.
The president landed in Bagram
in darkness, and his helicopter
roared to Kabul for the meeting
with Karzai, under close guard, with
only the outlines of the nearby
mountains visible. Later, back at the
base, he was surrounded by U.S.
troops, shaking every hand. He
ended his lightning visit with the
speech delivered straight to the tele-
vision camera and the voters he
was trying to reach back home.
This time of war began in
Afghanistan, he said. With faith in
each other, and our eyes xed on the
future, let us nish the work at hand
and forge a just and lasting peace.
Earlier, he delivered a similarly
upbeat message to the troops.
Noting their sacrifice, he said,
Theres a light on the horizon.
It was Obamas fourth trip to
Afghanistan, his third as command-
er in chief. He was about seven
hours on the ground in all. He also
visited troops at a hospital at the
Bagram base, awarding 10 Purple
Hearts.
The written agreement that he
and Karzai signed is to cover the
decade after the planned final with-
drawal of U.S. combat troops in
2014. Obama said American forces
will be involved in counter-terror-
ism and training of the Afghan mil-
itary. But we will not build per-
manent bases in this country, nor
will we be patrolling its cities and
mountains.

NEW YORK Republican
Mitt Romney on Tuesday accused
President Barack Obama of politi-
cizing the death of Osama bin
Laden a year ago but said it was
totally appropriate for him to
claim credit for ordering the U.S.
military raid that ended with the
terrorist leaders death in a hide-
out in Pakistan.
Obamas re-election campaign
has used his decision to suggest
that Romney
would not have
made the same
call. Romney,
the presidents
all-but-certain
R e p u b l i c a n
challenger in
the fall elec-
tion, says he
would have.
Marking the
anniversary at a New York City
fire house that lost 11 men on
Sept. 11, 2001, Romney said he
understood the presidents desire
to take credit for killing one of the
worlds most-wanted men.
Its totally appropriate for the
president to express to the
American people the view that he
has that he had an important role
in taking out Osama bin Laden,
Romney said after visiting the
lower Manhattan fire station with
Rudy Giuliani, who was mayor
when terrorists flew planes into
the World Trade Centers twin
towers and killed nearly 3,000
people.
I think politicizing it and trying
to draw a distinction between him-
self and myself was an inappropri-
ate use of the very important event
that brought America together,
Romney said.
He and Giuliani had just eaten
pizza with several fire fighters.
For his part, Obama marked the
occasion by putting the power of
incumbency on display. He flew
unannounced to Afghanistan to
sign an agreement cementing the
U.S. commitment to that country
after the war there ends.

Out-of-control grafitti
Editor,
San Mateos administrators may think
the colorful tagging creeping all over the
city is art some folks do. Most of us
feel it is a sign of disrespect of public
property, a blight and, at worst, a sign of
growing gang activity. Just look around:
Grafti is everywhere in this city. We
have always been advised to wipe out
grafti swiftly to discourage its continu-
ance.
It is strange that San Mateo adminis-
trators, staff and elected ofcials do not
heed that well-informed advice. Are
they waiting for citizens to complain
about it? There have been requests sub-
mitted to the city for grafti removal by
both Caltrans, for gratti on the freeway
ramps and overpasses, and by the people
of San Mateo, for gratti on our public
right-of-ways. The requests go back at
least a month more than enough time
to obtain cooperation from Caltrans and
for city staff to comply with the
requests.
Where is the city? Where is Caltrans?
The city is continuing to delay action on
this matter. We are deluged with the
continuing nuisance and left with the
thought that inaction by city ofcials
will bring worse problems to San
Mateo. Maybe a few complaints are not
enough to get staffs attention. Maybe
we need more residents to contact the
city of San Mateo to request a grafti
removal project. It is an easy call to
make: 522-7040 is the City Clerks
Ofce and 522-7000 is the City
Managers Ofce. Other department
phone numbers are available on the
citys website.

rule change needed
Editor,
Thank you for the excellent column
on the rules for ying our American ag
(Straighten up and y right by Jon
Mays published in the April 27 edition
of the Daily Journal). I think it is time to
reconsider the rule that requires the ag
to be taken down at dusk or have it lit all
night. Here are my thoughts:
Today, many of us want to show our
support for our country, troops and ag.
However, it is a busy world, and many
of us want to hang the ag but do not
have the time or where-with-all to have
all-night lighting installed nor the time
to raise and lower the ag every day if
lighting is unavailable. There was proba-
bly a reason for the ag hanging rule
when it was made; however, today we
are all very busy at our jobs, trying to
get a job, trying to conserve energy, try-
ing to save money and being more cog-
nizant of light pollution (and trying to
see stars in our over-lit skies).
I, for one, would love to y the ag
every day and night in honor of my
country. In fact, I do this at Tahoe where
it hangs through all seasons including
the snow. I am guilty of breaking some
protocol, but I am grateful that I live in
America and proud to y the ag in any
and all circumstances. How can we
change this outdated rule?
Judi Allen
Belmont
Flying the American flag
Editor,
I served in the U.S. Marine Corps for
six years and before 9/11. I would
proudly y the U.S. ag from my bal-
cony on all the ag holidays.
After 9/11, seeing the way the ag
was being used and abused by people
demonstrating their patriotism, I
stopped ying my ag.
In addition to the rules you printed in
your column on the ag (Straighten up
and y right by Jon Mays published in
the April 27 edition of the Daily
Journal), you might consider educating
the idiots who have the ag ying from
their pickup trucks and other vehicles
mostly pickups.
Too often these ags have become tat-
tered rags, showing disrespect, not patri-
otism.

Letters to the editor
T
he Peninsula received a true
opportunity when the states
legislative districts were
redrawn so much of San Mateo County
would be represented by one Senate
district. In years past, the county was
largely divided with shared representa-
tion from the north and south.
And the Peninsula has another oppor-
tunity to vote in a former San Mateo
mayor and member of the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors to the
seat. Jerry Hill has represented the
Peninsula in a variety of capacities for
more than 20 years. In that time, he has
proven to be an energetic, compassion-
ate, smart and dedicated public servant
who is always willing to give the extra
effort on matters both large and small.
At San Mateo City Hall, Hill earned
a reputation as a councilman with a
keen budget eye and was known for his
ability and willingness to go through
budget documents with a ne-toothed
comb for any amount of savings. It was
there he also gained a reputation for
being business-friendly yet understand-
ing of the need for high levels of public
service.
At the County Center in Redwood
City, Hill forged relationships across
the board and had the ability to bring
people together for the common cause.
It was his experience on the San Mateo
City Council and understanding of the
impact of the countys winter homeless
shelter in the North Central neighbor-
hood that prompted him to push for its
move to a more acceptable location
once he was on the Board of
Supervisors.
In his time in the state Assembly, he
has championed a variety of legislation
that has provided local jobs, righted
wrongs and made government more
efcient. He led the way in ghting a
proposal that would charge Peninsula
residents a toll to enter San Francisco
and has been leading the charge to
force regulatory change after the fatal
Sept. 9, 2010 San Bruno natural gas
pipeline explosion and re.
He is scally moderate and under-
stands the challenges of balancing the
state budget when times are tight and
when there is signicant pull from
those who want a piece. He is willing
and able to work with everyone on both
sides of the aisle and is effective in
both the Capitol and back home.
But more importantly, Hill is a
responsive and responsible advocate for
San Mateo County in the state
Legislature who deserves an opportuni-
ty to serve this county in the new dis-
trict in the state Senate. We can think of
no other candidate who comes close to
Hills background, dedication to the
county and willingness to lead when
others cant or wont.
The other candidates for this race
have valid points of view and worth-
while backgrounds and they should be
lauded for their effort. Former
Assemblywoman Sally Lieber brings a
former legislators point of view and is
emphasizing environmental issues.
Challenger Chris Chiang is bringing an
emphasis on education to the table.
Both are important issues, and Hill has
his share of interest and expertise in
both topics.
In this race, at this time, in this coun-
ty, Hill is the best choice by far.

Womens studies 101
A
ll people are different. Thats why everybody
should be treated the same. Ashleigh
Brilliant.
I. Back in 1984, I wrote a column about womens chang-
ing roles titled, Women of a Certain Age. It was about
how women of my age at
that time were the last of an
archetype. We had been the
role players. Few of us ever
questioned the script we
were supposed to follow in
our lives. Our options were
limited. Our lives were gov-
erned by shoulds, oughts
and have-tos. You had to
find a husband, should have
kids and ought to live happi-
ly ever after and be depend-
ent and yet the Rock of
Gibraltar.
I wrote: I am happy to be
living in 1984 and still young enough to enjoy some of the
freedom of choice that women have today. I felt assured
that in the future (well before 2012), the situation would
be as Dr. Sam Katz and Aimee Lui wrote in The Success
Trap in the late 80s. Aside from the personal benefits
you stand to gain by asserting yourself as a woman, you
can help to change society for the better. Sexual equality is
not just a womens issue. Both men and women have been
restricted for too long by traditional stereotypes and sex
roles. Once these barriers are at long last overcome, then
men and women will find that both sides have a great deal
to learn from each other (Dream on!).
II. This all came back to me recently because of all the
fuss that arose over Hilary Rosens comments about Ann
Romneys situation in life. She commented on CNN that
Ms. Romney had never worked a day in her life. Ms.
Rosens choice of words could have been better, but Ann
Romney must have known what Rosen meant when she
countered with the fact that her chosen career was raising
her family. Easy to say when you dont have to worry
about keeping food on the table or affording the rent or
paying doctor bills or even being able to gas up the car.
Seems to me that Ms Romney could have expressed a bit
of empathy by acknowledging that its a totally different
scenario when being employed is a necessity and not a
choice. But then, the Romneys connection with reality is
tenuous.
Gail Collins seemed to be on to the dichotomy when she
wrote in her book in 2009: When Everything Changed,
The feminist movement of the late 20th century created a
new United States in which women ran for president,
fought for their country, argued before the Supreme Court,
performed heart surgery, directed movies and flew into
space. But it did not resolve the tensions of trying to raise
children and hold down a job at the same time. They
had not remade the world in the way the revolutionaries
had hoped. But they had created a world their female
ancestors did not even have the opportunity to imagine.
And they still wore silly, impractical shoes. (No kidding!)
III. Every so often we hear or read in the news about the
problem of rape in the military. So what do we expect? Put
men and women together in such situations and problems
will ensue. Is it not true that men are obsessed with sex?
Put women in a foxhole (or wherever) with them and some
will not control their sexual urges. Yes, women have
demanded their rights, including being integrated in the
armed forces, but sometimes reality must be faced. Do
they not know the nature of men especially those facing
the horrors of battle? Acting indignant when you deliber-
ately put yourself in jeopardy by demanding equal rights
in the military? (Get real!).
IV. But for some women, liberation doesnt register.
Think of the American nuns who are in trouble with the
pope. Horror of horrors, some nuns have had thoughts of
their own! Apparently they havent completely succumbed
to the popes doctrine. They were reprimanded for focus-
ing on poverty and economic justice while keeping
silent on abortion and same-sex marriage. The pope is
also upset with them for making statements disagreeing
with the bishops about their attacks on health care reform
and for pressing for female priests.
These are women whose lives are reminiscent of the
dark ages when superstition ruled and men were totally in
charge. In this day and age, its hard to believe that these
women are taking a risk by thinking for themselves. Its
part of an ongoing inquisition launched by the pope into
the activities of the American nuns and religious commu-
nities making it crystal clear that the leadership of the
Catholic church believes its faith has no place for women
of independent minds. Jessica Pieklo (Go figure!).
Thats womens studies 101 for now. See you next
semester.

NEW YORK The fastest growth in
U.S. manufacturing in 10 months gave
stocks a lift Tuesday and pushed the
Dow Jones industrial average to its high-
est close in more than four years.
Manufacturing expanded last month at
the strongest pace since June, according
to the Institute for Supply Management.
Orders, hiring and production all rose.
A measure of manufacturing employ-
ment also reached a nine-month high, a
hopeful sign ahead of Fridays monthly
jobs report.
The manufacturing news jolted stock
indexes out of a morning stupor,
although the gains waned throughout the
afternoon. The Dow added 65.69 points
to 13,279.32, its highest closing mark
since Dec. 28, 2007, during the rst
month of the Great Recession.
It denitely changed the direction of
markets, said Jack Ablin, chief invest-
ment ofcer at Harris Private Bank.
Treasury prices fell, and benchmark
crude oil rose $1.29 to settle at $106.16
per barrel. Both of those things tend to
happen when investors expect stronger
economic growth.
Ablin saw an irony in the reaction to
the ISM report. Europes debt crisis has
knocked markets around for months,
jerking stocks down on worries its trou-
bles could cross the Atlantic. But
Europes woes have made U.S. manufac-
turers look more attractive to companies,
Ablin said.
Its gotten to a point over last 10
years where its better to manufacture
here than in pretty much any other devel-
oped country in the world, he said.
In a separate report Tuesday, the
Commerce Department said construc-
tion spending ticked up in March, fol-
lowing two months of declines.
Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at
S&P Capital IQ, said the two reports
looked like evidence that the U.S. eco-
nomic recovery is solid despite turmoil
in Europe and weaker job creation in
March.
I think investors are encouraged
theres at least one place in the world
where its still worth investing, Stovall
said. Theyre not ready to give up on
this bull market yet.
Other indexes pushed higher. The
Standard & Poors 500 index rose eight
points to 1,406. The Nasdaq composite
climbed four points to 3,050.
All 10 industry groups within the
S&P 500 climbed, led by energy com-
panies. Chesapeake Energy Corp.
jumped 6 percent on reports that the
company will strip CEO Aubrey
McClendon of his chairmans title.
McClendon, Chesapeakes founder,
was under fire for taking out more than
$1 billion in loans using the companys
wells as collateral. Chesapeake recent-
ly agreed to end the program that
allowed McClendon to take personal
stakes in the wells.
The S&P finished April in the red, its
first losing month since November. The
Dow managed a tiny gain.
Judging by its track record, May isnt
a promising month for stocks. Since
World War II, the S&P 500 has gained
an average of 0.31 percent in May. For
all months, the average gain is 0.67 per-
cent.

BATON ROUGE, La. Neil
Carpenter took a pay cut when he
accepted a job as a Louisiana state
accountant more than 12 years ago, but
he gured he would make up for the loss
with a retirement check that would guar-
antee long-term nancial security for
him and his family.
Now the 41-year-old nds his life plan
teetering as Republican Gov. Bobby
Jindal seeks to restructure the pension
system for rank-and-le workers, poten-
tially requiring higher employee contri-
butions and delaying the retirement
plans of employees like Carpenter.
Do you really want to breach a con-
tract with the employees who have com-
mitted a long part of their lives to the
state of Louisiana? Carpenter asked
state lawmakers recently.
For years, state governments lured
workers with the promise of lucrative
pensions that provide nearly the pay that
employees earned on the job. But after
years of budget crunches, nearly every
state has revamped public retirement
benets in an effort to shrink the long-
term obligations that are billions of dol-
lars short of what is needed to cover ben-
ets.
The moves have triggered a legal and
political battle over whether states are
reneging on their promises to millions of
public-sector workers.
The National Conference of State
Legislatures reports that since 2009, 43
states have boosted the slice of money
workers must pay toward their own
retirement, changed the age when a
retiree can get benets or modied their
pension plans in other ways.
In most cases, the changes affect only
people hired after the legislation was
passed. In a few plans, the changes apply
to non-vested members as well, said
Ron Snell, a public employee pension
expert with the National Conference of
State Legislatures.
Governors as ideologically apart as
the conservative Jindal and California
Democrat Jerry Brown are facing
intense opposition from labor groups,
workers and even members of their own
parties as they try to change pension
rules. And some battles have shifted to
the courts, because most states have
some sort of legal protection for public
pensions.
Florida lawmakers last year passed a
law requiring state workers to start pay-
ing 3 percent of their salary toward their
pensions. Unions representing state
workers challenged the law and won in a
lower court. The lawsuit awaits a state
Supreme Court decision.
Arizona legislators also backed a 3-
percentage-point increase in retirement
contributions for public employees, but
theyre working on reversing that
increase after it was successfully chal-
lenged in court.
States scaling back worker pensions

DETROIT Toyota is back. Its put-
ting a year of earthquake-related short-
ages behind it and grabbing sales from
stumbling General Motors and Ford.
Toyotas sales rose 12 percent in April,
and its share of the market returned to
levels it hasnt seen since before the
March 2011 earthquake in Japan. Its
sales outpaced the industry as a whole,
which saw growth of 2.3 percent last
month, according to Autodata Corp.
Toyotas resurgence could mean better
deals as its rivals ght for customers by
offering discounts and promotions.
Already, Toyota has announced zero-
percent nancing and other deals in
May. It also means better selection for
buyers. Toyotas factories are cranking
out popular models that were missing
from showrooms last year when the
earthquake disrupted production.
Toyota snatched buyers from General
Motors, Ford, Honda and Nissan,
according to trade-in data from auto
research site Edmunds.com. All of those
companies saw sales fall in April.
Among those who saw sales gains was
Chrysler, which posted a 20-percent
jump.
April started slowly, but sales picked
up toward the end of the month. It was
the fourth straight month in which sales
have run at an annual rate higher than 14
million.
Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of
forecasting for the LMC Automotive
consulting rm, said pent-up demand for
new cars is driving sales, as the average
age of vehicles on U.S. roads approach-
es a record 11 years.

LinkedIns high-flying stock riding on 1Q results
SAN FRANCISCO LinkedIn Corp.s rst-quarter
earnings report will show whether the online professional
networking service has been able to sustain the rapid
growth that has wooed investors since the companys stock
market debut nearly a year ago.
The results, due out after the stock market closes
Thursday, will be the latest litmus test for LinkedIns
shares, which closed Monday at $108.45 about 172
times its projected earnings and 13 times its projected rev-
enue this year. Thats a much higher multiple than well-
established technology companies that are far more prof-
itable. For instance, the stock of Internet search leader
Google Inc. recently has been trading at about 14 times
this years projected earnings and six times projected rev-
enues this year. The shares of iPhone maker Apple Inc., the
worlds most valuable company, have been going for 13
times projected earnings and about 3.5 times its projected
revenue this year.

Its going to be a busy weekend at College
of San Mateo as the school hosts baseball,
softball and the Northern California track and
eld trials.
The festivities kick off with track and eld
Friday and Saturday. Baseball and softball,
both seeded No. 2 in the Nor Cal playoffs,
will both host rst-round regional, best-of-
three series Saturday and Sunday.
Both the baseball and softball teams head
into the postseason with a head of steam. The
Bulldogs baseball team won 16 of their nal
18 games, while the Lady Bulldogs had their
20-game winning streak snapped in the sea-
son nale by Ohlone-Fremont, 7-1.
If we had to end our streak, Id rather have
it happen in the regular season instead of the
postseason, said CSM softball coach Nicole
Borg.
Despite that loss, it was one of only four
during the regular season as CSM nished
with a gaudy 36-4 mark. As such, the Lady
Bulldogs won a slew of post-season awards.
Ten of the 15 players on
the squad made the Coast
Conference rst or second
team, led by Michele
Pilster being named con-
ference Pitcher of the Year.
Named to the rst team
were: Vika Kafoa (so.,
1B), Selina Rodriguez (fr.,
3B), Jamie Navarro (fr.,
C), Lindsay Handy (so.,
SS) and Mikayla Conlin (fr., OF/DH).
Second-team selections were Kaylin Stewart
(fr., 2B), Jenn Davidson
(fr., UTL), Mary Ganal
(so., OF) and Annabel
Hertz (so., OF).
Pilster and Navarro
were also selected to the
All-State team and Borg

Doug Fountain, former Capuchino boys
basketball coach, has been hired to take over
the Woodside boys program, he told the Daily
Journal.
He replaces Philip White, who had to step
down after one season with the Wildcats
because of family obligations.
Fountain is the third Woodside coach in
three years. Before White, Mike Reynoso
coached the Wildcats for three seasons, from
2008 to 2010.
I love coaching. I wanted to get back into
it (right away). Its a real passion of mine.
There were both boys and girls programs
around the area (with openings). I was going
to try to stay in the PAL if I could, Fountain
said. I did put Cap (down as a reference). I
was proud of what I got accomplished at Cap.
I wasnt ashamed at all to talk about the suc-
cess.
Fountain said has been coaching high
school-aged teams for 20 years. A 1977 grad-
uate of Mills, Fountain got his coaching start
in Virginia, with stints in Georgia and
Kentucky along the way. He also coached on
A.A.U. circuit for a number of years as well.
In his nearly four years with Capuchino,
Fountain amassed an overall record of 40-57.
His high water mark was a 16-9 record during
2010-11 campaign that saw the Mustangs win
the Peninsula Athletic Leagues Lake Division
title.
At Cap, Fountain took a program that was
near the bottom of the PAL and made it com-
petitive. Now, he takes over a Woodside squad
that is rich in history. In fact, when he talked

Before the Caada baseball team hops on a
bus to Fresno and takes part in their sixth
straight playoff appearance, there are matters
of hardware to discuss.
The Colts Zach Turner was the unanimous
choice for the Coast Conference Pacific
Divisions Player of the Year at Mondays end
of the year meeting.
The honor is well deserved for the former
Serra Padre who tore the cover off the base-
ball during the 2012 season.
This marks the third time in four seasons a
Colt has taken home the conferences top
honor.
Turner won the Pacic Divisions Triple
Crown with a .370 batting average, 12 home
runs and 57 RBI.
Of the three major categories, the only one
that was relatively close was batting average
where the second place nisher, Kenny Hall
of Gavilan, hit .362.
Eight other Colts received conference
recognition.
Eren Miravalles got a First Team nod after
hitting .341 while scoring 41 runs and driving
in 23. He led Caada in stolen bases with 17
and had 46 hits.
Former Aragon Don Alex Sortwell was
voted for the second straight season to the
First Team with a .313 batting average, 46
hits, 28 runs scored and 28 RBI. He had 15
extra base hits.

If you look up relentless in the dictionary,
youll nd a picture of Menlo School lacrosse
player Wiley Osborne.
Fundamentally, the thing that makes him
so good is hes relentless in how hard he
works, said Menlos lacrosse coach Todd
Blumbergs. His conditioning is fantastic,
hes just able to go all game every game. Hes
got one speed and thats 100 miles per hour.
Its tough to stop someone like that. Youre a
defender and youre tired, he doesnt care.
Hes coming every time he touches the ball.
In 2012, when Osborne touches the ball,
great things happen for the Knights and
nowhere was that more evident that in his per-
formance last week to wrap up the month of
April.
[Last] week was really good, Osborne
said. The offense was really clicking and
moving the ball. The offense doesnt really
work for us unless our [midelders] are get-
ting us the ball, so our midis worked really
hard and played really well this week to get
the attackers the ball.
In four games last week, Osborne lit up the
opposing net. He scored 17 goals as the
Knights went through a tough section of their
schedule at 2-2. And when he wasnt scoring,
he was dishing, to the tune of 10 assists.
For his efforts, Osborne is the San Mateo
Daily Journal Athlete of the Week.
Hes obviously our main offensive threat,
as he was last year as a sophomore,
Blumbergs said. But he really worked hard in
the off season to raise his game to where he
wanted, which is the Division I level. Hes
succeeded in doing that.
It no coincidence that Osbornes 2012 suc-
cess can be traced back to a summer where the
attacker played on the East Coast in a trio of
tournaments against some of the best compe-
tition the nation has to offer.
Specically, I was trying to work using the
speed that I have to my advantage, Osborne
said. So, not slowing down, just trying to
play at full speed the entire time because thats
Osborne on the attack

BOSTON Jarrod Parker scattered four hits
over 6 2-3 innings and picked up his rst major
league win as the Oakland Athletics stopped a
three-game losing streak by beating the Boston
Red Sox 5-3 on Tuesday night.
Jemile Weeks ended on 0-for-12 slump with a
leadoff single and nished 2-for-5 with two RBIs
and two runs scored for the As, who evened the
three-game series at 1-all on a frigid night at
Fenway Park.
Oakland scored the rst ve runs and provided
plenty of security for Parker (1-0), who was mak-
ing just his third start in the majors.
Parker was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento
last Wednesday and got a no-decision against
Chicago that night. He took the mound again
Tuesday and shut down a Boston lineup that
racked up 11 runs on 11 hits the night before.
Parker struck out four, walked two and hit a batter
before getting pulled in the seventh inning.
Boston starter Felix Doubront (1-1) wasnt near-
ly as effective. The left-hander threw 30 pitches in
the rst inning alone and struggled through four
innings. He struck out eight, but also allowed six
hits, walked two and threw two wild pitches while
allowing ve runs.
The Red Sox had just four hits until Cody Ross
led off the ninth with a double to left off of Grant
Balfour. Marlon Byrd singled with one out, Punto
walked to load the bases for Mike Aviles, who
lined a single to center and cut Oaklands lead to
5-3.
Jordan Norberto came in for Oakland and got
the save, striking out Lars Anderson and getting
Dustin Pedroia to ground out to second.
Pedroia was the only player to score on Parker.
He led off the fourth with a single, advanced to
second on a wild pitch and came home on back-
to-back elders choices to cut Oaklands lead to
5-1.
Parker started to struggle in the seventh when
Ross led off with a double down the left eld line
and Punto drew a two-out walk. Parker was pulled
for reliever Brian Fuentes, who got out of the jam
on a nice defensive play by third baseman
Brandon Inge. Mike Aviles hit a sharp grounder,
which Inge lunged to get then scrambled to his feet
in time to dive in front of the bag and tag out Ross.
The As got to Doubront for four runs in the
fourth. Kurt Suzuki singled with one out, Kila
Kaaihue walked and Cliff Pennington drove in
Suzuki with a double. Weeks followed with a long
single that scored Kaaihue and Pennington.
Weeks took second when the throw to the plate
wasnt in time to catch Pennington, stole third and
trotted home on a wild pitch to put the As up 5-0.

WASHINGTON Andy Pettitte and Roger
Clemens sat some 20 feet apart, Pettitte on the wit-
ness stand and Clemens at the defense table trying
to avoid going to jail. The topic: a remark about
human growth hormone Pettitte recalled hearing
from his longtime teammate, mentor and workout
partner a dozen years ago.
Roger had mentioned to
me that he had taken HGH,
Pettitte testied. And that it
could help with recovery,
and thats really all I remem-
ber about the conversation.
The rest of the details are
fuzzy. Pettitte went on to
acknowledge that the words
were said in passing during
an intense workout.
Its a conversation that Clemens has famously
claimed that Pettitte misremembers.
The right-hander on trial who won 354 major
league games and the lefty on the stand with 240
wins had an awkward reunion Tuesday, Day 8 in
the retrial of charges that Clemens lied when he
told Congress in 2008 that he never used steroids
or HGH.
Pettittes appearance enlivened the proceedings
and came without warning.
The government interrupted
testimony from the trials rst
witness to call Pettitte just
before noon. Wearing a gray
suit, he walked into court a
day after allowing six runs
and 10 hits with eight strike-
outs over 5 2-3 innings in an
extended spring training
game in Clearwater, Fla., as
part his comeback attempt at age 39 with the New
York Yankees.
Pettitte testied mostly with his hands clasped in
front of him and rarely looked at Clemens, even
during the lengthy delays when lawyers held con-
ferences at the judges bench. Clemens frequently
took notes. The two havent spoken recently
because of the trial, but Pettitte nevertheless said
he found it difcult to testify because he still con-
siders Clemens a good friend.
Pettitte is crucial to a government case that will
otherwise rely heavily on the testimony of Brian
McNamee, who worked as a strength coach for
both Clemens and Pettitte and has said he injected
both men with performance-enhancing sub-
stances. The government showed the jury photos
of the three working out together in Texas during
happier times Mac, Roger and me, as Pettitte
put it.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA Matt Leinart is back in a
familiar role as Carson Palmers backup at
quarterback.
The Oakland Raiders signed Leinart to a
one-year contract on Tuesday, giving them
two former Heisman Trophy winners from
Southern California at quarterback.
Leinart reached the deal after working out
for the Raiders to show that he has fully
recovered from a broken left collarbone that
cut short his 2011 season. Oakland also
brought in Peyton Mannings former backup,
Jim Sorgi, for a tryout but decided to go with
Leinart.
Leinart is the only backup on the Raiders
roster who has thrown a pass in the NFL.
Terrelle Pryor, who was taken last summer in
the supplemental draft, played one game last
season and committed a penalty his only time
on the eld. Rhett Bomar spent two years on
the New York Giants practice squad.
Leinart spent two years behind Palmer at
USC, including when Palmer won the
Heisman Trophy in 2002. Leinart took over
the Trojans the next season and won two
national championships and the Heisman
Trophy in 2004.
He was drafted 10th overall by Arizona in
2006 but has struggled as a pro. He started 11
games as a rookie with the
Cardinals but only seven
games in the past ve sea-
sons.
He broke his collarbone
after ve starts in 2007 and
then was beaten out for the
starting job the next sea-
son by Kurt Warner. He
spent the past two seasons
with the Texans as Matt
Schaubs backup.
Leinart got a chance to start last season with
the Texans after Schaub broke his right foot,
but Leinart got hurt in the rst half against
Jacksonville on Nov. 27, after completing 10
of 13 passes for 57 yards and a touchdown,
ending his season. Leinart was cut by the
Texans in March.
Leinart has completed 57.6 percent of his
passes in his career with 15 touchdowns, 20
interceptions and a 71.6 passer rating.
He will also be reunited in Oakland with
offensive coordinator Greg Knapp, who was
his quarterbacks coach with the Texans.
The Raiders also confirmed an NFL
Network report that they have red longtime
scout Jon Kingdon after 33 years with the
organization. Kingdon was the head of college
scouting and general manager Reggie
McKenzie had said earlier this offseason that
he wanted to bring in his own team after the
draft.

Vikings cut RB King after arrest
MINNEAPOLIS Minnesota Vikings
running back Caleb King was released from
jail with no charges led against him on
Tuesday, three days after being arrested in an
alleged beating outside a birthday party last
weekend.
That didnt stop the Vikings from cutting
ties with the former University of Georgia
standout.
The Vikings cut King just hours after he was
released from jail. The team did not comment
on the decision, instead announcing it in a
one-sentence press release.
Kings case remained under investigation,
Anoka County prosecutors spokesman David
Cossi said.

in the division) with 40 runs batted in (also good for second).
Pitchers Greg Hansen, Garret Treadwell, Pierce Precht and
Mitch Labbie were all recognized to the Second Team.
Hansen, Treadwell and Precht combined for 14 wins in
2012. Hansen led the Colts with 50 strikeouts. Prechts 3.02
ERA was tops for Caada. Treadwell pitched in a team-high
17 games.
Labbie, a former San Mateo Bearcat, had four of Caadas
six saves. He struck out 12 and had a 3.10 ERA.
Pete Woodall (.272 average, 28 hits, .447 on-base percent-
age) received an honorable mention nod.
The Colts travel to Fresno to play in the state playoffs this
weekend. This is the Colts sixth straight appearance in the
California Community College Baseball playoffs.
The best-of-three series begins Saturday at 1 p.m. and con-
tinues Sunday at 10 a.m. If necessary, a third and decisive
game begins shortly after Game 2s completion.
Fresno is currently ranked No. 4 in California Community
College Baseball Coaches Association poll for Northern
California.

It appears the Serra baseball team has nally turned their
West Catholic Athletic League season around.
The Padre baseball team traveled to San Francisco Tuesday
afternoon and came away with a dramatic 5-2 win over
Archbishop Riordan .
Serra trailed 2-1 entering the seventh inning, but rallied for
four runs in the framed to come away with the win.
The victory puts the Padres record at 13-11 overall and 6-6
in the WCAL after an 0-5 start.
There are two more games left on the regular season sched-
ule.
The Padres and Crusaders will play again on Thursday after-
noon at Frisella Stadium to make up for an earlier rain out.
And the Fightin Irish of Sacred Heart Cathedral come to
town on Friday afternoon for Serras senior day. Both games
are slated to start at 3:30 p.m.
Aragon 10, Jefferson 0
The Dons kept pace with the top of the Peninsula Athletic
League Ocean Division with a convincing 10-0 over Jefferson
on Tuesday.
Everst Barillas pitched four innings to pick up the win. He,
along with two others, held the Indians to just one hit.
The Dons scored four in the rst and again in the fourth to
pull away. They pounded out 12 hits and beneted from ve
Jefferson errors.
Greg Lyons had three hits for Aragon. Aldo Severson,
Conner Ching and Jonathan Engelmann had two hits apiece.
Lyons and James Egan also had a pair of RBI.
The Dons are now 12-9 overall and 7-3 in league play.

Davidson. All three carried Capuchino to the
Central Coast Section softball title as seniors
last season and, this year, they nd themselves
on the road to a community college state
championship.
This is more than winning CCS, said
Pilster, who won 25 games this season.
Navarro had a monster season as well. She
batted .415 with 34 RBI, 17 extra base hits
including seven home runs. She also stole 15
bases and struck out only nine times.
Pilster and Navarro have known each other
since elementary school and have played
together since they were 8 years old. They
complement each other to near perfection.
Pilster tends to get uptight, while Navarro is
there to calm her down.
She knows all my quirks, Pilster said of
Navarro. Im always uptight. Were total
opposites. She keeps me calm.
CSM hosts No. 13 Chabot (22-12) begin-
ning at 2 p.m. Saturday. Game 2 is scheduled
for noon Sunday. If a third game is necessary,
rst pitch would be around 2 p.m.
While softball is hosting a home playoff
game for only the second time in six years,
being a tournament host is par for the course
for the CSM baseball team, as is winning a
Coast Conference Golden Gate Division
crown and having a slew of players named to
the all-conference squads. Clint Terry was
named Golden Gate Pitcher of the Year, while
Danny Chavez was named to the rst team.
Our pitching has been good all year, said
CSM manager Doug Williams. Chavez and
Terry put up great numbers all year.
Shortstop Brandon DeFazio and outelder
Joseph Armstrong were named to the all-con-
ference team and Cody Zimmerman was cho-
sen as the Designated Hitter of the Year. All
three hit well above .300, led by Armstrongs
.341. Zimmerman led the team in RBI with
29.
Weve been hitting the ball down the
stretch, Williams said.
Despite having another tremendous regular
season, Williams knows playoff success can
be eeting. As such, he cautions his players
that anything can happen in the postseason.
The key is to expect anything, Williams
said. We have seen so many scenarios unfold
over the years, we tell them (the players) to
prepare for the unexpected.
CSM (27-9 overall) will play No. 15
Cabrillo (22-15) which beat Los Medanos
in a play-in game Monday beginning at 1
p.m. Saturday. Game 2 is slated for 11 a.m.
Sunday with a if-necessary game three start-
ing around 2 p.m.
The Nor Cal track and eld championships
will be held at CSM over the next two week-
ends: Friday and Saturday will be the trials,
with the nals being held May 4-5.
CSM qualied 14 athletes for the Nor Cal
trials 13 men and one woman many of
whom have an excellent chance to nish in
the top-6 and earn a spot in the state meet tri-
als.
The Bulldogs will be well represented in the
throwing events. Freshman Nikki Uikili is
the No. 2 thrower in Northern California in
the hammer, discus and shot put and is ranked
No. 1 in the javelin. She won the Coast
Conference in the discus, shot put and ham-
mer, but nished second in the javelin as she
battles a bit of a shoulder tweak.
Her older brother Josh also had a strong
showing at the conference championships,
winning the hammer throw. He is also the
third-ranked shot putter in Northern
California. Evan McDaniel is ranked No. 2 in
the shot put and No. 6 in the discus, while
Zeke Edwards has the No. 5 spot in the
javelin.
Roman Skovronski was upset in the nals
of the 400 hurdles at the Coast Conference
championships, but is among the best com-
munity college hurdlers in the nation.
The CSM mens 4x100 relay team will have
to make up some time to nish in the top six
as it currently boasts the ninth-best time in
Northern California. Keith Richardson has a
chance to make the nals in both the 100 and
200 sprints.

and Reynoso, Fountain said they spent most
of the conversation talking about the history
of school.
They spoke very highly of program. They
talked to me a lot about the traditions of the
school. That was something I needed help
with, Fountain said.
Because of that rich tradition, Fountain will
be tasked with moving the Wildcats from a
solid program back to among the PAL and
CCS elite. He thinks he has a chance to do that
because the basketball foundation at
Woodside is already solid.
A bigger school was one of the major fac-
tors (in applying for the Woodside job). They
played competitive basketball the last few
years in the Bay Division, Fountain said.
With the larger (student) population, it gives
me an opportunity to get a freshman program
going. Well start a third team this (upcoming)
year. Im going to bring the majority of my
coaching staff from Cap and add some coach-
es from Woodside, so we should have a good
coaching staff.
As for the lessons learned when he was red
at Cap, Fountain said he did look at how the
situation deteriorated and what he can do to be
better in the future.
I dont have any regrets for what I did (at
Cap). I never had doubts I was a competent
coach, Fountain said. I took a look at what
happened, I looked at the processes, how I
communicated with the players, the parents,
the administration. I think there are things I
learned. You can always improve.
One of the things I learned is I need to have
a good problem-resolution process. If we have
a process down, I think it would be a lot easi-
er. There would be less frustration.
Fountain is still waiting for all the paper-
work to be nished and transferred to the
Sequoia Union High School District, which
he expects to be done in a matter of days, and
then he plans to meet with his future players.
There is a summer league and summer tour-
naments for which to prepare, as well as get-
ting to know what his team can and cant do.
The foundation is there. Its not like we
have to go in there and build from scratch,
Fountain said. We want to take that strong
foundation they have here and make it even
better. We want to get the students and com-
munity back into (the Woodside boys basket-
ball program).

COACH
the only way Ill be able to beat the bigger
defenders back there.
Coming in as a freshman, he had the skill
set, but he didnt have the size or the athletic
ability to compete at the level that he wanted
to, Blumbergs said. So he worked hard to
make sure he lled in all those blanks with his
conditioning, with his time in the weight
room, with his studying and understanding of
the game.
With that summer experience in his back
pocket, Osborne hit the eld running.
He began the week by notching four goals
and an assist in a 14-10 loss to Marin
Catholic. The Knights then suffered another
defeat, a tough 13-12 loss to Redwood in a
non-league affair. Osborne scored two goals
and had ve assists.
Both Marin Catholic and Redwood at North
Coast Section powers.
Unfazed by the losses, Blumbergs said
Osborne rallied his teammates.
It wasnt necessarily the number he put it,
it was his attitude, Blumbergs said about
Osbornes biggest contribution. Were a
week away from the playoffs and he has not
let our team get down on themselves. We lost
a tough one to a good team against Redwood
and he lets players know, he inspires them, he
lets them know that were getting better, were
doing the things we need to do and that the
loses dont matter as much as everyone
believing in each other. Its denitely been
him being a good leader and as a coach, thats
been real fun to watch.
Osbornes team responded with a big 11-7
win against Palo Alto.
The entire team came out fired up,
Osborne said. We were getting up and down
the eld with Paly the whole game and kept
coming at them. Eventually we just wore them
down. We played high tempo and high speed
and just kept coming at them.
Osborne followed that win with best statis-
tical game in what was a 15-10 win over
Serra. The attacker scored six goals and tallied
a pair of assists.
He understands the game better than any
player Ive ever coached, Blumbergs said.
He just gets it. Hes a student of the game. I
know thats kind of a clich, but he really is.
He understands the game better than anyone
Ive ever had.
There a lot of people that get blocked off in
a lacrosse game. And that whats happened to
Wiley in at least half of the games weve
played, whether its teams that know us well
or dont know us and if they dont know us
well, they gure out pretty quickly that they
do not want him, as a single player, to beat
them. So, he just works really hard. Hes
smart. He understands that when he wants the
ball at a critical moment of the game, it does-
nt matter what the defenses do, hell get the
ball.
Over the summer, Osborne verbally com-
mitted to Dartmouth University in New
Hampshire.
In order to be recruiting by any Division I
lacrosse program, you have to be a complete
player, and hes got the total package,
Blumbergs said. Hes quick and shifty, hes
at out fast, hes very good at defense when it
comes to riding and hes got a rocket of an
outside shot hes got a lot of ways to hurt
you when he has the ball. Thats why hes
been so effective and put up the numbers that
he has because you cant take one skill of his
away because hell beat you with ve others.

When youre out all day playing in the
warm spring sun, you dont want to come
home to the laborious task of making a com-
plex meal. The solution is a quick soup.
For this spring sh chowder, we opted for
avorful sweet potatoes in addition to the reg-
ular white variety. Be sure to leave the skins
on, as thats where much of the ber and nutri-
ents reside. For some more color and to round
out the dish, we added a bell pepper, scallions
and a touch of lemon.
To keep the calories and fat in check, we use
fat-free half-and-half as the soups base. Skim
milk also would work, but the texture would-
nt be nearly as creamy.
You can use any kind of white sh you pre-
fer. Flounder is a great option for a very ten-
der fish. Haddock has a bit more body.
Whichever sh you choose, use care once you
add it to the soup. As it cooks it will want to
fall apart. So stir gently.
SPRING FISH CHOWDER
Start to nish: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large potato, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large sweet potato, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, cored and diced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch of cayenne
1 1/2 quarts fat-free half-and-half
Zest of 1/2 lemon
1 pound white sh, cut into bite-size pieces
3 scallions, sliced
Salt and ground black pepper
In a large pot over medium-high, heat the
olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook
until softened and just beginning to brown,
about 7 to 8 minutes.
Add the potato, sweet potato, red pepper,
cumin, cayenne and half-and-half. Bring to a
simmer and cook until the potato is tender,
about 7 minutes. Add the lemon zest and sh,

Healthy chowder for cool spring evenings
Asian technique meets
Hispanic ingredients
By Eleanor Hoh
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Stir-fry and salsa arent traditional compan-
ions on the plate, but that doesnt mean there
cant be a little common ground.
As a wok cooking teacher, Im constantly
looking for new ways to use my wok, includ-
ing with cuisines other than Asian. And it
turns out the Hispanic world has a wealth of
ingredients and classic recipes perfectly suit-
ed to this cooking style.
Though I grew up in Hong Kong where
I watched local cooks use huge cast-iron woks
to prepare classic street foods such as chouto-
fu (stinky tofu), stuffed peppers, curried octo-
pus and roasted chestnuts I now live in
Miami, a city rich with Cuban culture. Ive
noticed many similarities in cooking tech-
niques, ingredients and seasonings between
the cultures.
Cuban-style paella, for example, is similar
to Asian fried rice. Even the paella pan resem-
bles a wok.
Look more broadly across Hispanic
cuisines and examples are plentiful. Churros
and Chinese crullers are both crispy deep-
fried dough sticks. Fillings for quesadillas,
fajitas and tacos are basically stir-fried beef,
chicken or pork.
In Peru, which has a sizeable population of
Chinese immigrants, there is even an Asian-
Peruvian fusion dish known as chifa, a mash-
up of the term chow fan, which refers to
Chinese fried rice. Chifa basically fried
rice with native Peruvian ingredients, often
leftovers, and soy sauce has become an
integral part of Peruvian cuisine.
Whichever sh you choose, use care once you add it to the soup. As it cooks it will want to fall
apart. So stir gently.

One of the most common ways to cook in a
wok is to do so briey at very high heat. This
is why ingredients often are cooked in batch-
es according to how long they should take.
For example, vegetables go in until just ten-
der, but still lightly crisp, then are removed
from the pan. Next, the meat is cooked until
nicely seared, then everything is combined.
This same approach works with Hispanic
ingredients. It can be as simple as stir-frying
some onion, peppers and other vegetables,
then setting those aside. Add some thinly
sliced beef, pork or chicken with Hispanic
seasonings and cook that. When the meat is
ready, combine everything and use as a lling
for tacos.
But woks can do more than stir-fry, and that
versatility is what makes them so useful for
other cuisines. Because of their shape and
wide opening, woks are great for deep frying,
steaming, stewing, toasting spices and nuts,
even baking.
For example, a wok can fry up churros as
easily as wonton-wrapped dumplings or
spring rolls. It also can be used to fry plan-
tains. And in both cases, the attachable wire
rack that clips to the side of the wok is excel-
lent for draining excess oil from the fried
foods.
Dont have a paella pan? Use a large wok.
It also does a ne job with arroz con pollo
brown the chicken, cook the sofrito and toma-
to sauce, then add the rice and other ingredi-
ents. Ive even made tortilla omelets in my
wok. Start by stir-frying the vegetables in the
wok, then add the mixture of egg and cheese.
Set the entire thing in the oven (set on a wok
ring) and bake.
WOK PICADILLO
A cast-iron wok over gas heat is the best
choice. But in a pinch, a large cast-iron skil-
let can be substituted. A stainless or carbon
steel wok also can be used, though you may
nd you need to use more oil to prevent stick-
ing. Never use nonstick woks for high-heat
frying; they arent made to tolerate extreme
heat.
Because speed is essential when cooking at
high heat in a wok, its important to have all
ingredients prepped ahead. If you are using a
small wok or a skillet, you may need to cook
the meat in two batches. Avoid crowding the
pan, as this cools it. The meat also should be
cooked in two batches if your stove is elec-
tric, which does not maintain temperature as
well as gas.
Stainless steel spatulas with a wooden han-
dle and curved edge work best with steel or
cast-iron woks.
This dish is best served with rice, especial-
ly red or brown. Start the rice cooking as you
prep your ingredients so everything is ready
at the same time.
Start to nish: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
1 tablespoon tamari or good (MSG-free)
soy sauce
1 teaspoon medium drinking sherry
2 teaspoons of cornstarch
2 pinches white pepper
1 pound 90 percent lean ground beef
1 tablespoon canola or other high-heat oil,
divided
1 medium yellow onion, nely chopped
1/2 medium green bell pepper, cored and
nely chopped
1/2 medium red bell pepper, cored and ne-
ly chopped
2 cloves garlic, diced
2 plum tomatoes, nely chopped
1/4 cup diced green olives with pimentos
1/4 cup raisins
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
Juice of 1 lime
Sprigs of fresh cilantro, mint or parsley, to
serve
In a medium bowl, whisk together the
tamari, sherry, cornstarch and white pepper.
Add the ground beef and mix until thorough-
ly incorporated. Set aside.
Set your wok over high and let heat for 1
minute. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the oil and
heat until it shimmers. Add the onion and
both bell peppers. As soon as they hit the
wok, immediately stir them around the pan.
Cook for 5 minutes, or until the onions and
peppers are just barely cooked and still rm
and colorful.
Transfer the vegetables to a plate. Use
paper towels to dry the wok, then return it to
the heat.
When the wok is hot again, add the remain-
ing 1/2 tablespoon of oil and heat until it
shimmers. Add the garlic rst, then immedi-
ately add the ground beef.
Use the back of the spatula to spread the
beef across the wok as if frying a wide burg-
er. Let the meat sear on one side until golden
brown. This gives your meat a crispy exterior
with juicy interior. You can test for doneness
by ipping beef in the center of your wok
where the heat is the hottest. If it is golden
brown, ip all the beef and start breaking it
up with your spatula.
Once the beef is just cooked (when you
dont see any red, about 7 minutes), return the
onion-pepper mixture to the pan. Add the
tomatoes, olives, raisins, cumin, oregano and
paprika. Mix well, then reduce heat to medi-
um and fry for 5 minutes. Stir in the lime
juice.
Serve spooned over rice and topped with
fresh cilantro, mint or parsley.

Danish restaurant
ranked worlds best
By J.M. Hirsch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A menu of lichen, pine needles and
hay once again has trumped classic
cuisines in a ranking of the worlds
top restaurants.
For a third consecutive year, chef
Rene Redzepis diminutive but inno-
vative Danish restaurant Noma
earned the top spot in Restaurant
magazines annual S. Pellegrino
Worlds 50 Best Restaurant Awards,
announced Monday in London.
Redzepi cooks with a meticulous
focus on indigenous ingredients,
from moss and snails to sloe berries
and unripe plums. Since it opened in
2004, the Copenhagen restaurant has
been credited with redening Nordic
cooking and gets thousands of reser-
vation requests a day. The current
menu includes items such as
Cauliower and pine and Pear
tree!
The lists second- and third-place
restaurants also remained unchanged
from the 2011 list. Spains El Celler
de Can Roca, in Girona, and
Mugaritz, in San Sebastian, once
again were ranked Nos. 2 and 3. Also
placing from Spain was Arzak, in San
Sebastian, at No. 8.
The United States had three restau-
rants in the top 10, with Thomas
Kellers Per Se in New York leading
at No. 6 (moving up from the No. 10
spot last year). Alinea, Grant Achatz
ode to molecular gastronomy in
Chicago, fell one spot to No. 7 in this
years ranking.

MINNEAPOLIS Pat LaFrieda
Jr. cant get enough chicken thighs. If
his family business featured on the
new Food Network series Meat
Men orders 100 cases of boneless,
skinless thighs, his supplier might
deliver only 60.
Thats because consumers have
discovered something chefs have
long known about dark meat: It was
always the least expensive protein
that you could buy, but it had the
most amount of avor, LaFrieda
said.
Thighs and drumsticks are climb-
ing the pecking order as Americans
join consumers abroad in seeking a-
vor that isnt found in ubiquitous,
boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
The poultry industry used to have
trouble nding a market for dark
meat, but changing domestic tastes
and growing exports to countries that
prefer leg quarters are pushing up
prices and helping pull the poultry
industry out of a deep slump.
Poultry industry experts agree TV
food shows are helping to spur
demand as chefs talk up dark meat
and give home cooks new ideas. Dark
meat is more forgiving than white
and doesnt dry out as easily, La
Frieda said, so thighs are great on the
grill, while ground dark meat works
well shaped into burgers, stuffed into
ravioli or stirred into a Bolognese
sauce and served over pasta, he said.
If youre looking for what the next
trend is ... always ask the butcher
what he takes home, said LaFrieda,
whose company, Pat LaFrieda Meat
Purveyors of North Bergen, N.J.,
supplies restaurants in the New York
City area and along the East Coast.
Matt Monk, 29, of Birmingham,
Ala., a customer service representa-
tive for Medicare, said he grew up
eating chicken breasts because thats
all his mother would cook. He wasnt
introduced to dark meat until he
moved in with his father in his teens.
I like it because of the avor,
Monk said. It does not dry out like
white meat. White meat, to me, its
avorless. Any avor that comes
from the meat, it has to come from
me seasoning it.
The convenience and greater avail-
ability of boneless, skinless thighs is
another major factor in the dark meat
craze. New, automated equipment
makes it more economical to debone
leg quarters, where the work once
had to be done by hand.
Dark meat historically has been
cheaper than white, but according to
U.S. Department of Agriculture sta-
tistics, wholesale boneless, skinless
thighs now cost as much as breasts,
and sometimes more. Both averaged
$1.33 a pound in March, but thigh
prices were up 15 percent from a year
earlier, while breasts were up only 1
percent. Bone-in leg quarters aver-
aged 53 cents per pound in March, up
26 percent from a year ago.
Melissa Dexter, 27, a student at the
University of Arkansas in
Fayetteville, said she noticed recently
when buying both boneless breasts
and thighs at Wal-Mart that the pack-
age of dark meat actually cost about
50 cents more. She said thighs are
generally cheaper, though, and help
stretch her budget.
Growing up, whenever we had
chicken, whether it was KFC or
homemade, the breast meat was
always dry, Dexter said. I always
enjoyed the avor, not just the juici-
ness, but the avor coming out of the
dark meat.
For decades, producers made their
money on the front half of the bird
but lost money on the back half, said
Bill Roenigk, senior vice president
and economist with the National
Chicken Council. That began chang-
ing in the 1990s as the industry found
new markets in Russia, Asia and
Latin America. While producers still
lose money on dark meat, he said, the
difference isnt as great as it once
was.
Domestically, chicken companies
are becoming more innovative with
new products such as chicken
sausages, which are mostly dark
meat, Roenigk said. At the same
time, theyre seeing more sales to
Hispanic and Asian immigrants, who
have brought their food preferences
with them.
Consumers seek dark meat
Dark meat is more forgiving than white and doesnt dry out as easily.

After learning of the fraud, through
the mutual cooperation of two banks, the
suspects account was frozen in Canada
and the remaining funds seized.
Hillsborough police then worked with
the Vancouver Police Departments
Financial Crime Unit to collect bank
records and video surveillance evidence.
The resulting investigation uncovered
an immense fraud operation that went
far beyond the Hillsborough victim,
according to police.
It was determined the crimes were
committed from an accounting ofce
located in Vancouver. Three suspects
were arrested and computers, cellphones
and data storage devices were seized,
according to police.
Arrested were Saheem Raza, 30, his
wife Naza Raza, 27, and brother Fareed
Raza, 38.
But the alleged lottery scam was not
all police said they uncovered when they
executed a search warrant at the F & A
Accounting ofces in Vancouver, owned
by the Raza family.
The trio has been charged with forgery
connected to an ongoing fraud investiga-
tion unrelated to the Hillsborough scam,
according to police.
There is no remorse. They will take
every penny you have, until you have
nothing left, Vancouver police
Detective Linda Grange told CBC News
after the three were arrested.
Grange told the television station that
the Razas phoned the Hillsborough
woman several times, indicating her
winnings had increased from $7 million
to more than $18 million.

the last and best offer.
The time for bargaining was six
months ago, she said.
Discussions have reached an impasse
because nurses say Sutter is demanding
that they forgo paid sick days and pay
more toward their health care, among
other requested concessions.
Sutter contends that nurses are highly
paid, earning an average of $136,000 per
year.
In a blog post Sutter published
Tuesday morning, hospital ofcials said
the nurses demands for double-digit
wage increases and free health care
would increase costs by tens of millions
of dollars.
Despite the generous pay and bene-
ts we provide our nurses, the California
Nurses Union demands new benets that
will increase the cost of health care for
our patients, the post reads.
Union spokesman Charles Idelson
said Sutter, which has made billions of
dollars in prots since 2007, has contin-
ually lied to its workers, making claims
in print ads about the concessions that
negotiators allegedly disavowed in a
meeting with union leaders.
They dont tell the truth, he said.
Thats part of the problem that we have
with this hospital.
In addition to the San Mateo County
facilities, nurses walked out at Alta
Bates Summit Medical Center facilities
in Berkeley and Oakland, Eden Medical
Center in Castro Valley, San Leandro
Hospital, Sutter Delta in Antioch, Sutter
Solano in Vallejo, Novato Community
Hospital and Sutter Lakeside.
Several hospital representatives said
that the strike had little impact on serv-
ices because some nurses were crossing
the picket lines.
Mary Strebig, of Novato Community
Hospital, said that the 47-bed hospital
required 11 nurses and that four union
members reported to work, representing
a crossover of 36 percent.
Cindy Dove, communications manag-
er at Eden Medical Center, said Tuesday
was pretty much business as usual,
with 55 percent of nurses crossing over
at the Castro Valley campus and 45 per-
cent reporting for work at the San
Leandro campus.
As with previous strikes, Sutter has
brought in replacement nurses to ensure
that it maintains a full staff that can offer
the same level of service to its patients.
Although the nurses only plan to strike
for 24 hours, the replacement nurse con-
tract runs through May 6.
Since we do not believe it makes
nancial sense to pay double for our
striking nurses and contract nurses, these
multi-day contract requirements usually
mean that striking nurses miss several
days of work, the organization wrote in
a prepared statement.

STRIKE
other in November, regardless of party
afliation.
With only two candidates in the race,
Mullin will have to beat back Gilham
both in the June primary and the
November general election.
It is the only non-incumbent seat in
the area with just two challengers. It is
very unusual, Mullin, 41, told the Daily
Journal.
Mullin, a South San Francisco coun-
cilman, is surprised no other Democrats
are in the race but said he got an early
start in his campaign, securing the
endorsements of U.S. reps. Jackie
Speier, D-San Mateo, Anna Eshoo, D-
Palo Alto and Hill, who currently holds
his fathers old Assembly seat.
He is campaigning as an underdog,
though, and intends to run an aggressive
campaign through November.
His opponent, Gilham, is a Republican
out of Redwood City who is running for
ofce for the rst time.
He expects to be vastly outspent in the
race as he has received virtually no con-
tributions to his campaign while Mullin
has about $200,000 to spend on the race.
Both, coincidentally, are videogra-
phers by trade, each running their own
businesses.
Their ideologies, however, are worlds
apart.
Gilham says the state has a problem
with its public unions and that they
wield too much power. He wants
California to be a right-to-work state,
meaning public employees will not have
to join a union to work for the state.
He also wants to see the state make
drastic cuts to trim from its $9 billion
decit, rather than raise taxes.
We need across-the-board cuts of 15
percent or maybe 25 percent. We can cut
up to 30 percent until the budget is bal-
anced without borrowing, Gilham told
the Daily Journal. The state needs to
stop spending rst.
Gilham, 50, is also ready to stop the
states high-speed rail project in its
tracks for being too costly.
Im 100 percent against it. By the
time it is nished, I expect the cost to
soar to $250 billion, he said.
The project is currently estimated to
cost about $70 billion.
If elected, Gilhams first priority
would be to protect the Hetch Hetchy
water system, particularly against an act
of terrorism.
It terries me how vulnerable our
water system is. This will be the states
undoing. People will feel the pain if
something catastrophic happens, he
said.
The state should make protecting
Hetch Hetchy its top priority, he said.
Mullin has other priorities if elected
like bringing more state resources into
the county.
With Genentech in the north and
Oracle in the south of the new Assembly
district, Mullin touts biotech and high-
tech industries in the region as being an
economic engine for the entire state.
We are no longer a bedroom commu-
nity. San Mateo County does not always
get its fair share of resources from the
state, Mullin said.
After Gov. Jerry Brown and the
Legislature moved to dissolve redevel-
opment agencies in the state last year,
Mullin hopes the Legislature will
reverse course a bit and restore a citys
need to build affordable housing and
attract economic development.
The biotech industry has thrived in
South San Francisco because of the
citys redevelopment agency, Mullin
said. The city will lose $200 million
over the next 30 years because of disso-
lution.
Plans to build a new public library and
senior center in South City are on hold
now without RDA, he said.
Mullin, who sits on the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission, voted for
the early investment of California High-
Speed Rail Authority funds to electrify
the Caltrain tracks. He supports the
blended system in which high-speed rail
trains will share Caltrain tracks mostly
within its current right-of-way.
He also wants to see money for grade
separations pour into the Assembly dis-
trict to improve east-west connectivity
along the Caltrain corridor.
Mullin already has a history working
in state government, having worked as a
legislative aide to Johan Klehs, a former
assemblyman from the East Bay, and
Speier.
Ive been building to this point for 20
years, Mullin said.
There are expected to be up to 40 new
legislators in the state with redistricting
and Mullin is excited about bridging the
divide between Democrats and
Republicans in the state Capitol if he is
elected.
There will be a bumper crop of rook-
ies. It could be chaotic but Im optimistic
for a new opportunity for bipartisan-
ship, Mullin said.
The Legislature has a low approval
rate, 22 percent, and Mullin looks to
restore the institutions low standing.
I want to rebuild the connection
between the people and the institution,
he said.
The open primary is June 5.

ELECTION
WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 2012
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Something rather excit-
ing could happen if you visit places where you have a
chance to make new contacts. Expose yourself to these
kinds of occurrences, and the universe will do the rest.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)If you continuously stay
positive, an important situation in which youre pres-
ently involved will work out to your satisfaction, or
perhaps even better than you thought possible.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)Rather than discussing
something important over the telephone or even put-
ting it to paper, youll be much more effective going
over the matter in person, if thats at all possible.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Financial trends are moving
in your favor, so if you have anything important
monetarily that needs to be shared with others, do
so now.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)If at all possible, avoid
people who always try to tell you what to do and
how and when to do it. Your personal freedom and
independences will be of utmost importance to you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)Your day wont count for
much if you fail to be compassionate when a situ-
ation calls for it. Its not what you do for yourself as
much as what you do for others thatll afford you the
greatest pleasure.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)Base your social activi-
ties around friends with whom youre totally at ease.
Pretentious people will put you in a negative mood
and make yours and everybody elses day miserable.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)If you have respon-
sibilities dumped on your shoulders that affect others
as much as they do you, take them very seriously.
Everyone will suffer if you are indifferent or negligent.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Your intuition
regarding the outcome of events is likely to be right
on the money. If you have to make any projections for
the day, keep this in mind and refrain from listening
to others.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)Joint ventures should
work out quite satisfactorily, provided nobody tries to
rush things beyond their normal pace. Press forward
without being pushy.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)Its best not to make
any important decision that affects the entire family
without frst talking things over with them. Move on
only after theyve all had their say.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)Dont hesitate to take
on something that is a bit beyond what you normally
handle. Its a day when things come easier for you,
and that includes handling something new.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
MARCIE BROSNAN-STENGER
Case Number 122247
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Marcie Brosnan-Sten-
ger. A Petition for Probate has been filed
by Kathleen Brosnan in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition for Probate requests that
Kathleen Brosnan be appointed as per-
sonal representative to administer the
estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: May 23, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, 1st Floor, Redwood City,
CA 94063. If you object to the granting
of the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
