Supporters of a $67 annual parcel
tax to benet Redwood City schools
say it will allow for educational
enhancements while opponents call
for creative solutions using
resources the district already has.
The Redwood City Elementary
School District placed the ve-year
measure, which could bring in $1.7
million annually, on the ballot in
February. District supporters say the
funds will support reading, writing,
science and math. Passing a parcel
tax requires two-thirds support. The
election is June 5.
Emerald Hills resident Jack
Hickey, a represen-
tative of the
Libertarian Party
of San Mateo
County, which
opposes the meas-
ure, thinks educa-
tion in general should offer more
choices. Without it, giving money to
a awed system, he argued, doesnt
make sense.
Trustee Dennis McBride
explained the district has cut $25
million since 2007. About half of
that, $12 million, hasnt been felt
fully as the district has utilized one-
time federal funds and reserves to

Phosphorous may have
been on hot beach rocks
LOS ANGELES Beach rocks that
caused a California womans shorts to
catch re and severely burn her legs and
hands appeared to be coated with phos-
phorus, but it was unclear how the am-
mable chemical got onto the stones found
near a military base, authorities said
Thursday.
We have never been aware of anything
like this before, said Denise Fennessy,
assistant director of Orange Countys
environmental health division.
Field tests indicated the phosphorus
was found on two rocks from San Onofre
State Beach that will be submitted to a
state-certied laboratory for verication,
Fennessy said.
A naturally occurring mineral, phos-
phorus is found in oxidized form in rocks,
but in its pure elemental form can burn
when exposed to air. Phosphorous com-
pounds are used in everything from ares
to fertilizer.
Coast Guard and re ofcials, however,
said they never heard of local beach rocks
igniting.
I spoke directly to the paramedic on
the call, said Capt. Marc Stone of the
Orange County Fire Authority. Hes
worked 27 years as a paramedic and
specically on the beach areas, and its
the rst time hes ever seen anything like
this.
The beach where the rocks were found
is near the Camp Pendleton Marine base
and an offshore island used as a live ring
range. A nuclear power plant is also in the
vicinity.
Camp Pendleton spokesman Capt.
Barry Edwards said there was no evi-
dence that military training aids were
involved in the discovery, but the base
will cooperate with investigators if asked.
Five other rocks became cross-contam-
inated with the substance, possibly when
the chemical reaction occurred, Fennessy
said.
The children of the 43-year-old woman
who was injured collected the seven
rocks Saturday from San Onofre State
Beach near the border of Orange and San
Diego counties, a popular surng beach
nicknamed Trestles for its location near a
railroad bridge.
Moose on the loose
triggers police chase in Utah
LOGAN, Utah Utah wildlife of-
cials say a moose went on a jaunt through
neighborhoods north of Logan and trig-
gered a police chase.
Division of Wildlife Resources ofcers
tried to corner the wandering bull moose
on Wednesday morning when the animal
ran away. It was stopped when conserva-
tion ofcer Mark Burgess shot it with a
tranquilizer dart.
Ofcers rolled the subdued moose in a
large tarp and lifted him into a trailer.
Burgess told The Herald Journal that a
wildlife biologist would test the animals
blood before it is released into the wild,
most likely into Blacksmith Fork
Canyon.
Burgess says most of the moose calls
that the department receives come in the
winter, but a few come during the early
spring.
Police on swallowed
diamond: This, too, shall pass
WINDSOR, Ontario Police in
Canada say they are waiting for a man
accused of stealing a $20,000 diamond
and swallowing it to produce the evi-
dence.
It has been nearly a week since Richard
Mackenzie Matthews, 52, is alleged to
have switched a diamond at Precision
Jewellers in Ontario and swallowed the
real one.
Matthews is being held at police head-
quarters while investigators wait for the
1.7-carat stone to pass through his sys-
tem. Sgt. Brett Corey said Thursday that
Matthews has gone to the washroom
numerous times, but the diamond hasnt
passed.
Corey says a recent X-ray showed a
pair of fake diamonds, or cubic zirconi-
ums, stuck in the mans intestines but
because a diamond is translucent, it isnt
visible. He says the suspect is eager to get
the ordeal over with and is co-operating.
In the early stages, Corey says
Matthews was being given laxative type
foods, but is now being fed whatever he
wants, in an effort to get things moving.

Sometimes hard lessons are needed to make
the right decision.
That was the case for 19-year-old Jenna
Beverly. Spending most of a summer locked
up after being arrested for a drunk in public
charge at 17 was eye opening for the South
San Francisco teen. It was the wake-up call
needed to turn things around.
Jenna made one of the largest comebacks
that Ive ever seen in order to graduate, said
Baden High School counselor Juliet Johnson.
She came to us low on credits, but extremely
determined to nish. She became our only stu-
dent to be a top credit earner for the whole
year, and always tried her best. On campus,
she brought a positive presence and always
encouraged others to also change their lives
for the better. This year, she won a scholarship
through the South San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce, and I have no doubt this was a
good investment in her future.
Beverly was always a happy little girl. After
watching ER on television with her mom,
she had dreams of becoming an emergency
room doctor. Her mom would often catch her
performing CPR on her dolls, Beverly
recalled with a laugh.
She enrolled in Martin Elementary School
and was active in the local Boys and Girls
Club, where she often played sports with the
boys. At Parkway Heights Middle School,
Beverly got into some trouble which resulted
in a switch to Foxridge Community Day
School a difcult change for her. After one
year, Beverly entered South San Francisco
High School. She wasnt a great student,
though. She wasnt getting great grades and
ended up transferring to Baden, the districts
continuation school, as a sophomore.
The transition wasnt smooth. Beverly was-
nt sold on the new school.
Her wake-up call came two summers ago.
Beverly had issues with drinking and was
arrested for being drunk in public. The two
months she spent locked up, combined with
the support of her probation ofcer, changed
everything. Beverly returned to school with a
desire to catch up and succeed.
Jennas positive attitude made her a role
model for her fellow students, said English
teacher Sarah Schubmehl.
The change was also inspired for Beverly by
her mom, who has supported her for years
regardless of her ups and downs. Beverly
actually nished the requirements to graduate
in October. Learning she would graduate was
amazing to her as she really wasnt sure it was
something that she could accomplish.
Since then, Beverly has been working full
time at Jamba Juice, a job she really enjoys.
And, shes preparing to study culinary arts at
City College of San Francisco. Beverly hopes
to use what she learns to one day own a place
with her mom.
Baden High Schools graduation will be
held 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 30 in the schools
multi-purpose room, 825 Southwood Drive,
South San Francisco.
Great Grads is in its seventh year proling one
graduating senior from each of our local
schools. Schools have the option to partici-
pate. Those that choose to participate are
asked to nominate one student who deserves
recognition.

STATE GOVERNMENT
The state Senate unanimously passed a
bill by state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto,
which would make it easier for surplus,
unopened medication to be donated to unin-
sured Californians. The vote was 38-0.
Every year, billions in unused medicine and supplies are wasted in
the United States. Senate Bill 1329 allows a greater number of health
care facilities to donate surplus unopened, unexpired medications to
Californians in need; permits nonprot community clinics and certain
pharmacies to receive donated medications; and makes it easier for
county boards of supervisors or county public health ofcials to initi-
ate a drug redistribution program, according to Simitians ofce.

A 31-year-old Redwood City
accused of raping a high school girl
at a party and groping another teen
he invited to his home was convict-
ed of seven crimes including
forcible rape, lewd acts on a child
and false imprisonment.
Gabriel Jason Cavazos, 31,
returns to court June 25 for sentenc-
ing on the charges and enhance-
ments for having prior prison terms.
He faces 13 to 14 years in prison.
Cavazos was tried for several
encounters of various degrees with
four girls in September 2009.
Prosecutors say Cavazos, then 29,
exchanged contact information 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 mod-
eling. On one
occasion he
reportedly took
one to his home
where he got her
to remove most
of her clothing under the pretense of
taking modeling shots. Prosecutors
say he then drove her to school with
his hand on her leg and refused to let
her out of the car unless she kissed
him.
He also sexually assaulted a girl
after following her into the bath-
room at a party. The girl contacted
police three weeks later and made a
pretext phone call in which
Cavazos reportedly admitted hav-
ing sex with her but implied it was
consensual.
Cavazos also reportedly invited
two minor sisters he met on the
street to his home and asked if they
were going 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 for eight
months after learning Redwood City
police were investigating him. He
was apprehended crossing the
Mexican border back into the
United States
Cavazos is in custody in lieu of
$750,000 bail.

A 28-year-old man accused of
swinging a two-foot long board with
a nail in it at a stroller carrying a tod-
dler, striking a passing car and
threatening to kill two women in
Belmont is incompetent to stand trial
for assault, a judge ruled yesterday.
Andrew Steven Fernandez, of San
Bruno, was found unable to aid in
his own defense based on evalua-
tions by the Golden Gate Regional
Center which concluded he has a
developmental disability. Instead of
committing Fernandez to a state
facility, Judge Robert Foiles ordered
him to receive outpatient services
under the states Forensic
Conditional Release Program.
Fernandez, who was already living
in a San Bruno group home at the
time of his arrest, will have a
progress report in July.
Belmont police arrested
Fernandez March 21, the day after
his release from a psychiatric evalu-
ation following his alleged crimes.
Fernandez, who prosecutors say is
disabled and living in a San Bruno
group home, was reportedly spotted
with the board in Belmont striking
at the bumper of a passing car and
pointing the stick at a jogger while
threatening to kill her. Fernandez
also allegedly swung the board at a
stroller carrying a 1-year-old child
being pushed by her father. The
father told police the board hit the
stroller, missing the girls face by
inches. Prosecutors say Fernandez
followed that event by pounding on
the door of his mothers apartment,
screaming he would kill her.
Police took Fernandez into cus-
tody for a mental evaluation and
upon his release booked him into
the county jail. His defense attorney
immediately questioned his compe-
tence at his arraignment on the
assault charges.

A disabled man trying to park at
the Dollar Tree in Belmont found all
the handicapped spaces lled by
vehicles without proper placards
and not bearing the number of a tow
company to rectify the situation,
according to a lawsuit led against
the chain this week.
William Mosley, who is repre-
senting himself in the discrimina-
tion suit led May 15, is seeking
$28,000 in general damages, an
unlimited amount of punitive dam-
ages and an order the business com-
ply with the Americans with
Disabilities Act.
The suit accuses Dollar Tree
Stores, Inc. of discriminatory prac-
tices in public accommodations.
Mosley did not return a call for
comment.
Mosley did not identify his dis-
ability in the suit but said it qualies
under the legal denition.
He attests in the suit that on April
3 and April 10 he arrived at The
Dollar Tree at 516 El Camino Real
in Belmont but both times found the
parking lot signage blank where the
name and number of the towing
authority should have been. The
omission, the suit claims, prevented
him from patronizing the business
that day and further discouraged
him from returning by the threat of
continuing discrimination.
The Dollar Tree corporate ofce
did not respond to a request for
comment.
A case management conference is
scheduled for Sept. 26.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama will nd his diplo-

his own turf beginning Friday. The
big global problems are the econom-

Afghanistan and in both cases the
solutions lie mostly overseas.
Still, given a home eld advantage
in an election year, Obama will try to
use it. By offering solidarity with
Europe and reminders that he is steer-
ing the Afghan war to a close, Obama
will be promoting his re-election
interests as well as national ones,
underscoring contrasts with Mitt
Romney, his rival for the presidency.

For four days, Obama will host

how much is out of his hands.
For voters, Obama will keep the
focus on the economy. For the watch-
ing world, he will embrace the trans-
Atlantic alliance as a cornerstone of
U.S. policy at a time when Romney
has accused him of taking inspiration
from Socialist Democrats in
Europe and has declared: Europe
isnt working in Europe. Its not

Europes debt crisis poses huge
potential to drag down the American
economy and Obamas bid for a sec-

dominate discussions at the Camp
David summit of major industrialized
nations on Friday and Saturday, with
Obama expected mainly to listen and
prod Europe toward more growth and
less budget-slashing austerity.
The United States is not in the lead
of that ght and does not want to be,
strapped with its own unemployment

through a divided Congress at home.

the U.S. Navy vessel USS Essex
managed to glide into San Diego
Bay on Thursday, 24 hours after col-
liding with a tanker when the aging

Families of the crew aboard the

Wednesdays midmorning crash
120 miles off the coast of Southern
California resulted in no injuries or
fuel spills. The 844-foot-long Essex,
which looks like a small aircraft car-
rier, was carrying 982 crew mem-
bers. The tanker, the 677-foot USNS
Yukon, was carrying 82.
To me, it felt like a minor earth-
quake, said Navy photographer
Duke Richardson from Jersey City,
N.J., who was in a photo lab on the
Essex when it struck the Yukon.

Police: Victim
falsified carjacking report
A man who jumped from eastbound State
Route 92 into bushes near Highway 101 after
claiming he was carjacked and being chased
by an armed man early yesterday morning
was lying, according to San Mateo police.
The victim, a 47 year-old San Mateo resi-
dent, was suffering from traumatic but not
life-threatening injuries and was transported
to the hospital. The victims vehicle was
recovered nearby, according to police.
Police sorted through evidence and some
initial inconsistencies to clearly nd out what
happened and were able to determine that he
falsied the report of the carjacking com-
pletely after interviewing him a second time.
He had run out of gas and became nervous
when contacted by police, according to
police.
Falsication of a police report is a crime.
He continues to be treated for his injuries
and was not immediately arrested, according
to police.
The report will be sent to the San Mateo
County District Attorneys Ofce for consid-
eration of false report charges against the fall
victim in this case, according to police.
Arrests made in
Burlingame graffiti cases
Two juveniles were arrested and charges
are pending on a third juvenile in connection
with multiple incidents of grafti throughout
Burlingame, according to police.
With an uptick in grafti in Burlingame and
nearby cities recently, police began investi-
gating the incidents and were able to develop
three potential suspects in several cases,
according to Burlingame police.
Thursday, police served two search war-
rants in Burlingame and San Mateo and con-
ducted a probation search on a third residence
in Millbrae.
Based on evidence found during the search-
es, two 16-year-old males were arrested and
charged with felony vandalism in connection
to several of the Burlingame grafti cases,
according to police.
Felony vandalism charges are pending on a
third suspect, a 17-year-old Millbrae male,
who was already in custody at the San Mateo
County Juvenile Detention Center on unrelat-
ed charges, according to police.
Bomb squad disables
Vietnam-era grenade in park
A live Vietnam-era grenade was found in a
Pacica park Thursday morning, according to
the San Mateo County Sheriffs Ofce.
Around 10:30 a.m. the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Bomb Squad was called to the
entrance of Edgemar Park in the Manor
District of Pacica where a military grenade
had been found along the fence line, sheriffs
ofcials said.
Authorities determined the Vietnam-era
style grenade was intact and live.
Pacica police cordoned off the immediate
area to cars and pedestrians as the bomb
squad mitigated the grenade.
No injuries or property damage was report-
ed, according to the Sheriffs Ofce.
Man arrested for
shooting at sisters boyfriend
Police in South San Francisco have arrested
a man suspected of ring a gun at his sisters
boyfriend on Wednesday morning.
Ofcers responded to reports of gunre at a
home in the 300 block of Lux Avenue at about
9 a.m.
Fealofai Laiafa, 31, and his sister had
reportedly been arguing with his sisters
boyfriend, who is also the father of the
womans child, police said.
During the argument, the boyfriend
allegedly went outside and broke a window to
Laiafas bedroom, police said.
Laiafa then allegedly red one shot at the
victims feet with a pistol through the broken
window, according to police.
No one was injured, and responding of-
cers found a gun believed to be the weapon
used in the shooting nearby, police said.
Ofcers found Laiafa to be in possession of
methamphetamine, and he was arrested for
assault with a deadly weapon and possession
of a controlled substance.
Laiafa is being held in lieu of $50,000 bail
and is due to be arraigned in San Mateo
County Superior Court on Friday.

WASHINGTON The House endorsed the
continued war in Afghanistan on Thursday
despite acknowledgment from Republicans
and Democrats that the American people are
war-weary after more than a decade of conict.
By a vote of 303-113, lawmakers rejected
an amendment that would have swiftly ended
combat operations in Afghanistan by limiting
funds only to the safe and orderly withdraw-
al of U.S. troops and military contractors from
Afghanistan.
More than 10 years after the Sept. 11 terror-
ist attacks, American public support for the
overseas conflict has deteriorated. An
Associated Press-GfK poll released last week
showed that backing for the war has hit a new
low and is on par with support for the Vietnam
War in the early 1970s. Only 27 percent of
Americans say they support the war effort, and
66 percent oppose it, according to the survey.
The American people are far ahead of
Congress, said Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif.,
sponsor of the amendment, who called on
Congress to stand squarely with the American
people. Its past time to end the war and bring
the troops home.
Opponents of the amendment conceded that
the public has grown tired of war, but they
argued against a precipitous withdrawal.
If we leave too early and the Taliban and
al-Qaida return, more Americans will suffer,
Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, said.
The vote came as the House considered a
$642 billion defense budget for next year,
debating more than 140 amendments to the
far-reaching legislation. Final passage of the
measure was expected Friday.
Rather than a speedy withdrawal from
Afghanistan, the spending blueprint calls for
keeping a sizable number of U.S. combat
troops in the country. The bill cites signicant
uncertainty in Afghanistan about U.S. military
support and says that to reduce the uncertain-
ty and promote stability the president should
maintain a force of at least 68,000 troops
through Dec. 31, 2014, unless fewer forces
can achieve United States objectives.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Mitt
Romney swiftly and firmly dis-
tanced himself Thursday from a
group exploring plans to target
President Barack Obamas relation-
ship with a controversial former pas-
tor. But the revival of the Rev.
Jeremiah Wright as a campaign
issue momentarily placed race at the
center of the presidential contest and
showcased the independent groups
playing a new role this year with
big-money TV ads.
Republican Romney pushed back
against a proposal being weighed by
a conservative super PAC, Ending
Spending Action Fund, to run a $10
million ad campaign drawing atten-
tion to racially provocative sermons
Wright delivered
at a church
Obama attended
in Chicago. But
with super PACS
operating under

looser campaign
nance restric-
tions than in past
presidential con-
tests, there was
no guarantee Romneys words would
be heeded by other groups eager to
make Wright and, by extension,
race a factor in the campaign.
I want to make it very clear: I
repudiate that effort, Romney told
reporters after a campaign stop in
Florida. I think its the wrong course
for a PAC or a campaign. I hope that
our campaigns can be respectively
about the future and about issues and

If this unmanned ight and others

Its a transition that has been in the
works since the middle of the last
decade, when President George W.

WASHINGTON The Obama
administration ordered federal, state
and local ofcials Thursday to adopt
zero tolerance for prison rape as it
issued mandatory screening, enforce-
ment and prevention regulations
designed to reduce the number of
inmates who suffer sexual victimiza-
tion at the hands of other prisoners
and prison staff.
Anti-rape advocates and victims of
prison rape, while saying the stan-
dards are not perfect, cheered the new
regulations. The rules have been
under development since Congress
passed the Prison Rape Elimination
Act in 2003 to ght rape and sexual
victimization in the nations prisons,
jails and halfway houses. The regula-
tions were announced only minutes
after the Justice Department unveiled
a new survey of former state and local
prisoners that showed that almost one
in every 10 reported at least one inci-
dent of sexual victimization by prison
staff or other inmates.
Garrett Cunningham was raped in a
Texas prison by a guard in 2000, and
now works with Just Detention
International, an anti-prison rape

Census shows whites lose

WASHINGTON For the rst
time, racial and ethnic minorities
make up more than half the children
born in the U.S., capping decades of
heady immigration growth that is
now slowing.
New 2011 census estimates high-
light a historic shift underway in the
nations racial makeup. They mark a
transformation in a country once
dominated by whites and bitterly
divided over slavery and civil rights,
even as it wrestles now over the
question of restricting immigration.
This is an important landmark,
said Roderick Harrison, a former
chief of racial statistics at the Census
Bureau who is now a sociologist at
Howard University. This generation
is growing up much more accus-
tomed to diversity than its elders.
The report comes as the Supreme
Court prepares to rule on the legality
of Arizonas strict immigration law.

T
he Redwood City Elementary School
District has had to make due with
$13 million in cuts in the last ve
years. As with school districts across the
county and the state, there are additional cuts
on the horizon and uncertainty from the ever-
growing state budget decit.
In recent years, many school districts have
been able to bridge some of the budget gap
with local funding that cannot be taken away
by the state. In the Redwood City
Elementary District, previous efforts to pass
parcel taxes to fund classroom needs have
failed. The most recent effort, in 2009, failed
by a small margin. This year, the district is
trying again for a modest $67 annual parcel
tax to raise about $1.7 million a year that
would sunset after ve years. In addition to
this effort, a community foundation is grow-
ing with about $450,000 raised this year.
The money raised by the parcel tax is not a
panacea for the district, but it is a small
amount to help it maintain class sizes or even
reduce them. The district has yet to deter-
mine how the money will be used specical-
ly, but the amount will provide a buffer to
ongoing reductions.
Opponents to the measure spell the need
for more austerity and point to the poor econ-
omy to suggest this is the wrong time to ask
voters to open their wallets. In addition,
opponents point to the need to contract the
district and possibly close some schools so
the property could be leased to a private
school. Another consideration is the location
of Clifford Elementary School near the bor-
der of San Carlos. Opponents ask, would this
location be a candidate for some sort of shar-
ing agreement with the San Carlos
Elementary School District? Its out-of-box
thinking with a host of possible legal tangles,
but we encourage school district ofcials to
consider every option moving forward.
Closing a school is always a contentious
proposition and sharing services with another
district has its own challenges. However,
there should always be room for creative
thinking when it comes to educating our chil-
dren in the most nancially practical way
possible. After all, educators often teach chil-
dren the importance of meeting challenges
no matter how large.
The district has already enacted cuts and no
one has had a raise in ve years. The current
student to teacher ratio is 30 to 1 a num-
ber which most people agree is too high for
effective education. The parcel tax will not
cure the districts ills but it is a modest meas-
ure to assist it in a tight duciary time and is
certainly warranted this year. In the mean-
time, district ofcials should take this oppor-
tunity to continue exploring other options to
reduce expenses in as many creative ways as
possible.
Rabbis respond
Editor,
As the senior rabbis of the synagogues on
the Peninsula, we respond with unied dis-
gust and dismay at the recent article of a Tea
Party forum in San Mateo where a rabbi pro-
fessed pride in being an Islamophobe.
We have never heard of, or interacted with
this man. He does not represent Judaism or
the Jewish community in this area. We repu-
diate the anti-Islam and anti-Muslim rhetoric
of his statements. We stand united with our
communities opposing prejudice and bigotry.
We reach out to the Muslim community in
our area with love and respect. We reject
demagoguery and hatred. Respect and part-
nership will overcome misguided intolerance.

Affordable antibiotics
why not high-speed rail?
Editor,
Recent letters proclaim high-speed trains
unaffordable, citing a report by the state
Legislative Analysts Ofce. What the LAO
knows and fails to consider is that science,
medicine and technology move ahead, not
waiting upon politics and budgets to catch
up. If this did not happen, wed still be treat-
ing wounds without antibiotics, dreaming of
satellites and hopscotching coast to coast in
propeller airplanes. We found affordable
ways to make better health, homes and trans-
port part of our lives.
We can do so again. Nothing demands
swallowing high-speed rail in one gulp.
Incrementally faster trains would, in fact,
make sense, meeting ridership demand while
building more, and allowing as-you-go
improvements in rights of way and train con-
trols.
The LAO overlooks two factors indicating
HSRs time is now. First, our Central Valley
is a rising ridership market. Commuters to
the valleys six universities account for a
bunch, evidenced by sign-waving students at
a high-speed rail rally in Fresno. The second
factor is health is health. Asthma and other
lung diseases are rampant in the valley,
linked to endless streams of cars and trucks
plus heavy doses of farm chemicals.
High-speed rail offers humane, overdue
relief. Or can its objectors suggest a non-pol-
luting alternative?

Keep the Saltworks project
Editor,
I am troubled that the Saltworks project
has been withdrawn from Redwood City.
This region needs the housing, parks and
recreation areas that DMB is offering. The
project will go a long way to addressing the
job and housing imbalance. And although the
goal of 100 percent wetlands restoration is
commendable, there doesnt appear to be a
viable way to nance it. We must be realistic
the Saltworks project is a reasonable
attempt to balance what need not be compet-
ing interests.

Northwest Florida Daily News,

P
eople everywhere are grumbling about
the economy. In Europe theyre also
doing something about it voting out
politicians who had pushed for belt-tightening.
French President Nicholas Sarkozy present-
ed himself as a world leader, working with
German Chancellor Angela Merkel to keep the
European economy functioning. Voters in his
country said Non. He was dumped in favor of
Socialist Francois Hollande.
In elections in Greece, the winner was a
word the Greeks gave us: chaos. Conservative
Antonis Samaras came in rst place. The sec-
ond-place nisher, Alexis Tsipras of the
Radical Left Coalition, spurned overtures from
Samaras to form a coalition government.
European countries are facing uglier ver-
sions of the economic crises facing the United
States: years of wasteful government spending,
budget decits and record debt. In response,
their governments are cutting social services
while raising taxes.
Understandably, voters are upset and want to
return to the good old days. So theyre voting
out the austerity candidates and voting in can-
didates who promise to once again let the good
times roll and stick the rich with the bill.
In France, Hollande won on promises of
curbing austerity by nearly doubling the top
income tax rate, from the current 40 percent to
75 percent.
In the United States, President Barack
Obama should be worried that the global anti-
incumbent mania could wash ashore here.
After all, in 2006, voters ousted Republicans
from control of Congress. Obamas 2008 vic-
tory occurred partly because of voter wrath at
departing Republican President George W.
Bushs poor performance during the economic
meltdown that autumn. And after Mr. Obama
and the Democratic Congress failed to make
matters much better, in 2010 Republicans took
back the House of Representatives.
The global economic crisis continues to boot
failing governments from power. And it looks
as if were a long way from the crisis ending.
The criticism of
Hillary Clinton
The Courier-Journal, Louisville, Ky.
S
o what is it about Hillary Rodham
Clintons stint as U.S. secretary of
state that gets people all riled up?
Crises averted? Dictators stared down? Pacts
signed? Diplomacy accomplished?
Lets try Hair and Makeup for $400,
Alex.
Yes, one of the most powerful women in
the world, who practically lives on a plane
that ies her hundreds of thousands of miles a
year to the globes hot spots, is still taking it
on the chin for whether her hair is awlessly
coifed and whether her make-up meets
screen-test standards. And lets not even visit
the pantsuit critiques, which regard Clinton as
if she were hitting red carpets instead of situ-
ation rooms.
Recently, obviously short of a scandal or
two, The Drudge Report posted a picture of
Clinton at a function in Bangladesh under the
headline, Hillary Au Naturale. In the photo,
the secretary wore her hair down, her glasses
on and she wasnt slathered in pancake. She
did remember to wear lipstick. Points for
that?
If the secretary has proven anything with
her public lives, its that the old rules dont
apply to her. She moved beyond her hus-
bands pecadillos and stayed committed to
their marriage, despite them and out of his
substantial shadow to forge a separate identity
in her public service. And even though she
keeps a superhuman pace, she looks human
doing it.
She brushed off the fashion criticism with
an interviewer: I feel so relieved to be at the
stage I am in my life right now because if I
want to wear my glasses, Im wearing my
glasses. If I want to pull my hair back, Im
pulling my hair back.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Unable to shake their
worries about Europe, investors drove
stocks to a four-month low Thursday and
piled into bonds, sending the yield on the
10-year Treasury note close to an all-
time low.
The Dow Jones industrial average
posted its 11th loss in 12 days after a pair
of discouraging economic reports further
unnerved traders already concerned
about a possible exit from the euro by
Greece.
The Dow lost 156.06 points, most of it
toward the end of the trading day, to
close at 12,442.49. It is down almost 6
percent for May, and what had been a
strong year for stocks has been reduced
to a slender 1.8 percent gain.
The Standard & Poors 500 stock
index closed at its lowest point since Jan.
17.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year
note hit 1.69 percent. That is lower than
any 3 p.m. reading since at least 1953,
according to records kept by the Federal
Reserve.
According to other financial data
providers, including Dow Jones and
Bloomberg, the yield on the 10-year
dipped slightly lower, to 1.67 percent, at
other points in the trading day last
September.
Its still seen as one of the safest
investments in the world, said Guy
LeBas, chief xed income strategist for
Janney Montgomery Scott. If you com-
pare Europes problems to our problems
in the U.S., it doesnt look so bad over
here.
The dollar and gold both rose as
traders sought refuge in lower-risk
assets.
Stock indexes opened lower on Wall
Street following drops in European mar-
kets. The declines accelerated at mid-
morning after the Federal Reserve Bank
of Philadelphia said manufacturing
slowed in the mid-Atlantic region for the
rst time in eight months. The report
was far worse than analysts had been
expecting.
In other trading, the Standard & Poors
500 index fell 19.94 points to 1,304.86,
its lowest close since Jan. 17. The
Nasdaq composite fell 60.35 points to
2,813.69.
It is not much of a welcome for
Facebook, which starts trading Friday in
one of the most talked-about debuts in
the history of the U.S. stock market.

SAN FRANCISCO Hewlett-
Packard is poised to eliminate as many as
30,000 jobs to compensate for dwindling
demand for personal computers as more
people connect to the Internet on smart-
phones and tablets, according to reports
published Thursday.
The looming cuts cited by Bloomberg
News and the technology blog All Things
D would trim as much as 9 percent of
HPs workforce, based on the 349,600
people employed by the Palo Alto, Calif.,
company as of last October. A breakdown
on HPs website listed 324,600 employ-
ees, but company spokesman Michael
Thacker said the information was wrong.
He pointed to the October gure listed in
HPs annual report as the most accurate
head count.
Bloomberg News says HP is mulling
25,000 job cuts. All Things D, which is
afliated with The Wall Street Journal,
estimates the purge will jettison 30,000
jobs. Both reports cited unnamed people
familiar with HPs plans.
Thacker declined to comment on the
reports.
The job cuts could be announced next
Wednesday, when HP is scheduled to
report its quarterly earnings.
Those results are expected to show that
HP, the worlds largest maker of PCs and
printers, is still struggling to adapt to a
technological shift that is enabling more
computing tasks to be completed on
smartphones and tablet computers such as
Apple Inc.s hot-selling iPad.
The trend has been crimping HPs sales.
Analysts predict HPs revenue for its cur-
rent scal year ending in October will
total $122 billion, down 4 percent from
$127 billion last year.
If HP trims its payroll by at least 18,000
workers, the company could save more
than $1 billion annually, according to ISI
Group analyst Brian Marshall.
If it occurs, the purge would be the most
dramatic step taken so far by HP CEO
Meg Whitman, who took the job last
September after the company abruptly
ended the 11-month reign of her prede-
cessor, Leo Apotheker.
Whitman told analysts that she inherit-
ed such a messy situation that it may take
several years for the company to bounce
back. HP is trying to lift its stock price
back to where it was nearly two years ago
before the company demanded the resig-
nation of another CEO, Mark Hurd, who
was widely respected on Wall Street. Hurd
stepped down in August 2010 amid ques-
tions about his relationship with an HP
marketing contractor.
HPs shares are worth half as much as
they were before Hurds departure. The
stock gained 3 cents Thursday to close at
$22.03.
Whitman has said she is also trying to
x some problems that she blames on
Hurd. In particular, she says Hurd crippled
HPs ability to innovate by imposing deep
reductions in the companys research and
development budget. Whitman has indi-
cated that she would reduce expenses in
other areas so she can funnel more money
into research and development.

SAN FRANCISCO Yahoos new
boss is dismantling a consumer-com-
merce division created by recently dis-
patched CEO Scott Thompson.
Interim CEO Ross Levinsohn
announced the decision in a memo sent
Thursday to Yahoo Inc. employees. The
move signals Levinsohns ideas for turn-
ing around the troubled Internet compa-
ny differ from Thompsons.
The reversal comes a month after
Thompson created the consumer-com-
merce division to help revive Yahoos
revenue growth.
Thompson stepped down from Yahoo
last weekend after just four months on
the job. His departure was triggered by
the revelation that his resume included a
college degree in computer science that
he never received.
Now, one of the executives hired by
Thompson is out a job at Yahoo, too.
Sam Shrauge is leaving after joining
Yahoo last month to oversee the con-
sumer-commerce division.
Thompson and Shrauge had previous-
ly worked together at PayPal, an online
payment service owned by eBay Inc.
Shrauge left PayPal to oversee Yahoos
consumer-commerce division with
Mollie Spillman, who had previously
been overseeing Yahoos marketing in
the Americas.
Under the new setup dictated by
Levinsohn, Spillman will become
Yahoos chief marketing officer. She
replaces Penny Baldwin, who had been
picked by Thompson to handle the job
on an interim basis.
Instead of operating as a separate divi-
sion, Yahoos commerce operations will
operate within the companys global
media team. Those efforts will be over-
seen by Mickie Rosen.
In his memo, Levinsohn promised to
share more details about his vision for
the company within the next few weeks.
Im red up and I hope you are too,
Levinsohn wrote.

After coming up ve seconds short of qual-
ifying for the junior national regatta last year,
the members of the Nor Cal Crew were deter-
mined to qualify this season.
The crew of Ryan Arhling (Carlmont),
Miles Bowman (Aragon), Jackson Horwitz
(Menlo-Atherton), Luke Prioleau (Palo Alto)
and Miles Robinson (St. Francis) made good
on the mission by capturing the Southwest
Regional Lightweight 4 championship May 5-
6 at Lake Natomas in Folsom.
From the rst day of practice, the goal of
this crew was to make nationals, said coach
Allison Frykman, who crewed at Stanford.
The Southwest region includes teams from
California, Nevada and Utah.
The lightweight quintet so-called
because all the rowers have an individual
weight limit of 160 pounds will have about
a month to train before taking on the best in
the country at the National Championships
June 8-10 at Melton Lake in Oak Ridge, Tenn.
Nor Cal Crew, based out of the Bair Island
Aquatic Center in Redwood City, has a histo-
ry of qualifying teams for nationals, but this is
the rst mens boat in three years to earn the
nod.
Last year in the Lightweight 8, at the
Southwest Regionals championships, we
came up ve seconds short (of qualifying for
nationals), said Prioleau, who took up crew
after suffering an ankle injury playing football
at Palo Alto.
Because of graduation and a lack of up-and-
coming talent, Nor Cal Crew fielded a
Lightweight 4 this season, taking the ve
remaining members four rowers and the
coxswain and putting them in the LW4.
Weve been rowing together for a long
time. Our styles really match, Prioleau said.
Weve been in the same boat (together) for
three years.
Nor Cal Crew had the fastest qualifying
time at regionals and was the No. 1 seed in the
nals. It proved its worth by setting a new
record over the 2,000-meter course, beating
ve other crews for the championship.
The whole year, we knew we had some-
thing special in that boat, Prioleau said. We
knew we had to have the race of our lives (to
win the regional title).

The Half Moon Bay softball team was all
nerves.
And who could blame them? The Cougars,
who were making an appearance in the Central
Coast Section playoffs for the rst time in three
years Wednesday afternoon, conceded an early
run to No. 9 Carmel and were down 1-0 all the
way to the fth inning.
It was denitely nerves for sure, said Half
Moon Bay head coach Deanna Rocha. We
made some mistakes that we normally wouldnt
do, some base running mistakes, so the nerves
were obvious.
But the key to Half Moon Bays eventual 2-1
win over Carmel was taking all the energy from
the Half Moon Bay crowd and turning it into a
couple of runs.
And, because of players like Jessica Lehane,
Harlee Davidson, Channie Anderson and pitch-
er Lyndsay Klimenko, the Cougars are extend-
ing their CCS stay for at least another game.
The whole team had great energy the entire
game, Rocha said. We havent been there in
three years, so they were really pumped. The
whole team stayed up the entire time. The home
crowd was great and it really helped with our
energy.
With the Cougars down a run, Anderson took
it upon herself to tie the score. She led the fth
off with a walk, stole second, was bunted over
to third and then stole home for the dramatic
equalizing run.
Then, with the score tied at 1-1, Lehanes
double brought home Donovan, who herself
had doubled to begin the frame. The combina-
tion of extra-base hits was the difference in the
2-1 win.
Klimenko went the distance, striking out nine
in the process. The junior hurler has pitched
every inning this year for the Cougars.

2012 did not go exactly as planned for Joey
Papangellin.
After a strong junior year in 2011, the
Sacred Heart Prep backup catcher and desig-
nated hitter struggled mightily this season. He
had only two hits in 44 at-bats going into
Wednesdays Central Coast Section opener
against top-seeded Palma.
Wednesday, however, made up for all the
frustration during the season. And if nothing
else, when hes sitting around reminiscing 20
years from now, he can talk about how his
breakout game in the rst round of the CCS
Division III tournament helped the 16th-seed-
ed Gators upset No. 1 Palma, 6-5.
He really swung the bat last year as a jun-
ior, said SHP manager Gregg Franceschi.
He didnt have a lot of luck (this year).
He came up with the biggest hit of the year
when we needed it.
Papangellin knocked in the Gators rst run
with a RBI single in the second inning. It was
a hit Franceschi described as a nothing are
that fell in the ineld.
Sometimes you need breaks like that,
Franceschi continued. Its a ball he hits 75
feet that falls (to drive in a run). Its a funny
game.
After giving up four unearned runs to Palma
in the bottom of the second, the Gators turned
the tables on the Chieftains and put up a four-
spot of their own in the fth, turning a 4-2
decit into a 6-4 lead. After a run had already
been walked in to cut SHPs decit to one,
Papangellin came to the plate with the bases
loaded and ripped a bases-clearing double to
give the Gators the lead.
Those two hits doubled Papangellins pro-
duction for the season.
Palma got a run back in the bottom of the
sixth, but SHP pitcher Tyler Vau Dell shut the
door on the Chieftains in the seventh, nish-
ing off a complete game.
Vau Dell, who also plays basketball for the
Gators, arrived to the baseball team late in late
March. After using the rst half of the season

The Woodside baseball team ran into one of the
best pitchers in the Central Coast Section and pre-
dictably, the Wildcats struggled in a 6-2 rst-round
loss of the Central Coast Section Division II play-
offs.
Facing top-seeded Willow Glen, the No. 16
Wildcats (16-12) managed just two runs on four
hits against the RamsJustin Bruce, who came into
the game with an 0.68 ERA this season over 62
innings of work.
He was good, said Woodside manager Tim
Faulkner. He threw every pitch for a strike. He
had great command and good velocity. Best guy
weve seen all year.
Willow Glen (22-6) went to work early offen-
sively, scoring all six of its runs through the rst
three innings. Woodside starter John Buchman
didnt pitch poorly he allowed six runs on six
hits but was the victim of one timely Rams
hit. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the
third, the Rams No. 9 hitter roped a bases-clear-
ing triple down the left-eld line.
Down 6-0 after three, Woodside scored single
runs in the fourth and fth innings on RBI singles
from Eric Bet and Brad Degnan. Brian Clifford
added a pair of singles for the Wildcats.
In other CCS Division II action, No. 11
Burlingame fell to No. 6 Saratoga, 4-3.
With Woodsides and Burlingames losses, the

Melvin ejected,
As beat Texas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Texas Brandon McCarthy thought he had
a double play. Instead, the Texas Rangers had a successful
squeeze bunt and the lead, and the Oakland As had a mess on
their hands.
The As bounced back from the disputed sequence that
ended with manager Bob Melvin ejected and McCarthy in the
dugout, and Kila Kaaihue had a tiebreaking single in the 10th
inning to give Oakland a 5-4 victory against the Texas
Rangers on Thursday.
After Mitch Morelands second home run off McCarthy tied
the score in the sixth inning, the Rangers took the lead when
speedster Craig Gentry broke from third as Elvis Andrus
popped up a bunt between the mound and home plate.
McCarthy thought he caught the ball on the y and threw to
third for what he gured would be a double play, but home
plate umpire Laz Diaz ruled he trapped it. Gentry was ruled
safe for a 4-3 Texas lead, and Oakland didnt get anybody out.
Melvin ran from the dugout to argue, gesturing repeatedly
at Diaz before he was nally thrown out. Replays were incon-
clusive.
I threw the ball to third. Then he said I trapped it. I said,
What? and sort of ew off the handle, McCarthy said. I
was pretty furious once the disbelief set in.
Reliever Grant Balfour replaced McCarthy after the disput-
ed bunt and didnt give up a run even though the Rangers put
runners at second and third with one out. Oakland then tied
the score again in the seventh on Josh Reddicks 10th home
run. The shot into the Rangers bullpen in
right-center field ended Texas reliever
Alexi Ogandos scoreless streak at 15 1-3
innings.
That was a huge momentum swing,
Melvin said. They have the lead, with
guys who have had a lot of success in the
bullpen. It was a huge pick-me-up for us.
The Rangers had runners at rst and
third with one out in the ninth but couldnt
score off Ryan Cook (1-0), who picked up
his rst major league win and has 19 2-3 scoreless innings this
season, most among AL relievers.
Michael Young reached on a two-base error by Josh
Donaldson and went to third on a groundout. Nelson Cruz
struck out between intentional walks to David Murphy and
Mike Napoli, then Brandon Snyder grounded out with the
bases loaded. Texas ended up stranding 14 runners.
That situation with a man on second and nobody out in the
bottom of the ninth, you just have to gure out a way to let
nobody score, Cook said.
Kaaihues winning hit off Mike Adams (0-2) drove in
Jonny Gomes, who had three hits.
Moreland pulled Texas to 3-2 with a two-run homer just
over the left eld fence in fourth and tied it with a deeper shot
to right in the sixth. He has six homers.
Josh Hamilton watched both of those from the dugout and
was supposed to have the day off. He came on as a pinch-hit-
ter and stayed in the game in center eld.

Five Cardinal on the U.S. water polo team
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
STANFORD Five current and for-
mer Stanford players were among the 13
athletes named to the 2012 U.S.
Olympic Womens Water Polo Team,
USA Water Polo announced Thursday.
U.S. captain Brenda Villa, the
Castillja High girls water polo coach
and 2003 graduate of Stanford, will
compete in her fourth Olympic Games
this summer in London, Jessica Steffens
(2010) will compete in her second,
while the trio of Melissa Seidemann
(2013), Annika Dries (2014) and
Maggie Steffens (2016) will make their
Olympic debuts.
Villa will be one of two four-time
womens water polo Olympians for the
U.S., alongside Heather Petri. Villa a
three-time All-American, 2001 National
Player of the Year and 2002 Peter J.
Cutino Award winner helped lead the
Cardinal to its rst NCAA title in 2002.
In the three seasons Villa played for
Stanford, she scored 172 goals.
In 2010, Villa became girls water
polo coach at Castilleja. The Gators
were runner-up in the Central Coast
Sections Division II tournament, nish-
ing behind Sacred Heart Prep.
In 2011, her team lost 11-8 to Soquel
in double overtime.
I am really excited and honored to
take part of my fourth Olympic team,
Villa said in an email. We have a great
combination of youth and experience
and we are training to be at the top of the
podium. We hope to make America
proud.
Seidemann, Dries and Maggie
Steffens did not attend Stanford during
the 2011-12 academic year in order to
train with the U.S. team, missing the
2012 collegiate season in the process.
All three will be part of the Cardinal
team for the 2013 season.
The trio makes up the only current
collegiate players on the U.S. team.
The addition of the quintet to the
squad gives Stanford Womens Water
Polo a total of 14 nods by nine players to
the U.S. Olympic Team since the
Olympic debut of womens water polo
at the Sydney Games in 2000.
Jessica Steffens, a two-time ACWPC
All-American (2009-10), makes her sec-
ond Olympic appearance this summer.
Four years ago, the Danville native net-
ted ve goals and was named to the
Olympic All-Star Team for her superb
performance at the Beijing Games.
Younger sister Maggie Steffens
signed a National Letter-of-Intent to
join the Cardinal in 2012, but did not
attend Stanford this year in order to train
with the U.S. team, just as older sister
Jessica did ahead of the 2008 Games.
The youngest member of the 2012
Olympic squad, Steffens spent much of
her prep career as a member of the vari-
ous U.S. junior teams.
The duo of Dries and Seidemann also
make their Olympic debuts in London.
Dries, the 2011 Peter J. Cutino Award
winner, led the Cardinal with 65 goals
that year, including ve in the National
Collegiate Championship nal against
California that clinched Stanfords 2011
NCAA title.
Seidemann has been one of the most
dominant two-meter players in the
nation during her Stanford career. The
Walnut Creek native has scored 164
goals over the rst three years of her
collegiate career (2009-11), including
51 last year as the Cardinal won the
NCAA title. Seidemann was named to
the ACWPC All-America First Team
and was a Peter J. Cutino Award nalist
in 2011.
The quintet helped the United States
qualify for the 2012 Olympics by win-
ning the gold medal at the 2011 Pan-
American Games in Guadalajara,
Mexico.
The U.S. seeks its rst gold medal at
this summers London Games, and the
trek begins July 30 against Hungary.
The Americans will close Group A play
with games against Spain (August 1)
and China (August 3).
The U.S. is the only nation to medal at
each of the three previous Olympic
womens water polo events, capturing
silver medals in 2000 and 2008, and
bronze in 2004.

Crawfords 2 RBI help Giants win
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Matt Cain has
had more than his share of stellar per-
formances that
ended up without a
win because of a
lack of support.
Thats why the San
Francisco Giants
felt so good about
picking up their star
pitcher on a day he
wasnt at his best.
B r a n d o n
Crawford hit a two-
run single for his
first RBIs since April and the Giants
capitalized on shoddy fielding by St.
Louis to overcome Cains slow start
and beat the Cardinals 7-5 on Thursday.
Matt was out of sorts there early. He
was just out of synch, just trying to find
himself, manager Bruce Bochy said.
He got better. That shows you how
tough this guy is. He ended up pitching
a pretty good game. It was nice to get
him a win like that with all the tough
games hes worked where we couldnt
get him runs.
St. Louis made three errors in a game
for the second time this week with the
most important coming in the sixth
inning: Third baseman David Freeses
errant throw on pinch-hitter Aubrey
Huffs two-out grounder allowed Belt
to score the go-ahead run.
First baseman Lance Berkman also
made an error in the second inning to
help lead to Crawfords two-run single.
Three of the five runs scored off Adam
Wainwright (2-5) were unearned.
Thats not the kind of defense weve
been accustomed to seeing this year
and not the kind of defense were going
to see the rest of the way, manager
Mike Matheny said. Its just one of
those games.
Cain (3-2) has been plagued by poor
run support for his entire career with
the Giants scoring a major league-low
3.89 runs per game for him since his
first big league season in 2006.
But with help from the Cardinals
they managed to score five runs with
Cain in the game on Thursday to make
up for his rough start that included
Matt Hollidays two-run homer in the
third inning. Cain won for just the fifth
time in 54 career starts when he
allowed four earned runs.
Its usually the other way around,
Belt said. Hes usually battling his butt
off like he did today and hes not get-
ting the run support. Fortunately today
we helped him out and got him the W.
Santiago Casilla pitched the ninth for
his ninth save in 10 chances.
Cain came into the game with the
second best ERA at home in the majors
this season, having allowed four runs in
33 innings for a 1.09 mark. He allowed
as many runs in the first three innings
against the Cardinals as he had in his
previous four starts here.
He allowed sacrifice flies by Holliday
and Freese in the first inning and
Hollidays two-run homer in the third
to fall behind 4-3. Cain retired 10 of the
final 11 batters he faced. He allowed
eight hits in six innings.
I started out a little rough, Cain
said. I was kind of all over the place a
little bit. A lot of pitches seemed like
they were cutting back toward the mid-
dle. I wasnt making good quality
pitches and they were taking advantage
of it. The guys hung in there with me
and got some runs and got the runs we
needed and got the win.

Carlmont and Menlo-Atherton had

fared well. St. Francis exacted its
revenge on the Scots, beating them
10-2 after being upset by Carlmont
last year as the No. 1 seed. The
Bears didnt fare much better
against Mitty, dropping a 7-1 deci-
sion.
Sequoia, however, pushed No. 3

on the second oor of the downtown
Oakland Marriott, skims over the
menu and smiles about his coming
order.
Im going to surprise you, he
says. Its not on the menu.
The new Golden State Warriors
general manager asks the waiter for
a most unusual dish at this venue: a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich
with boysenberry spread on toasted
wheat bread, plus a side of potato
chips. Told the kitchen might not
have everything, Myers compromis-
es on tortilla chips and creamy
instead of crunchy peanut butter.
This is Myers at his core.
At 37 years old, little about Myers
ts the mold of most NBA general
managers. On this day, he has shed
the suit and tie for black corduroy
pants, a white-and-blue patterned
shirt with the top three buttons open
under a black sweater. He juggles
table conversation between text
messages and calls, plugging in his
phones ear piece while on the run.
A member of the 1995 NCAA
champion UCLA basketball team,
Myers has gone from sports agent to
assistant general manager to GM of
his hometown franchise in only a
year. He spends so much time on his
job that, he says, I purposely dont
try to keep track of how many hours
we work. Its a lot.
Myers moves so fast that meals
are often the only reminder of home.
Myers wife, Kristen, a high
school friend of his younger sister,
Kelly, packs him a peanut butter and
jelly sandwich for lunch almost
every day.
He has to have at least one a day.
Sometimes two. Its insane, Kristen
said.
Myers shares the meal with their
2-year-old daughter, Kayla. The
couple is expecting a second daugh-
ter in July. The PB&J tradition start-
ed while he was working for
renowned sports agent and mentor
Arn Tellem. The two logged long
hours to build the Wasserman Media
Groups client list into a basketball
empire, and meals often had to be
squeezed in at the ofce.
I think peanut butter was our
consensus rst draft choice, Tellem
joked. Peanut butter was our
Anthony Davis go-to food if we
were on a deserted island.
Myers learned long ago that hed
have to outwork and outsmart others
to remain in basketball.
The former star at Monte Vista
High School in San Franciscos East
Bay walked on at UCLA under
coach Jim Harrick before earning a
scholarship. Myers, a 6-foot-7 for-
ward, never played meaningful min-
utes until Feb. 1, 1996.
Be ready this game, he recalled
Harrick telling him before UCLA
hosted Oregon that night his junior
year.
Myers ready to mold Warriors into winners
Raiders McClain
sentenced to 180 days in jail
DECATUR, Ala. Oakland Raiders line-
backer Rolando McClain has been sentenced
to 180 days in jail for assault and other
charges stemming from a ght in his home-
town when he allegedly threatened to kill a
man and red a gun next to his head.
Decatur Municipal Judge Bill Cook con-
victed the 22-year-old former Alabama star
Thursday of third-degree assault, menacing,
reckless endangerment and discharging a
rearm in the city limits. He ned McClain
$2,000.
McClain, 6-foot-3 and 255 pounds, and
Jarodiaus Willingham were charged with
assaulting Rishard Tapscott, who was a friend
of the two, on Nov. 30, 2011. Tapscott testied
that the Raiders linebacker pointed a gun at
his head and threatened to kill him before r-
ing it beside his ear.
McClains attorney, Harvey Steinberg, said
he will appeal to Morgan County Circuit
Court seeking a jury trial.
I wanted to put this on so we could show
how ridiculous this entire situation is,
Steinberg said after the conviction. It truly is.
Theres no basis for it. Our feeling was that
we should go through it so we could put out
there that Rolando did very little, if anything,
wrong. He certainly didnt do anything crimi-
nal.

We told them it was anyones ball game,
Rocha said about her teams attitude heading into
the games latter innings. We believed in them.
They just needed to believe in themselves.
Half Moon Bay will need that same level of
condence heading into Saturdays quarternal
game against No. 1 Santa Catalina last years
runner-up in Division III.
Itll be a Cougar versus Cougar match-up. The
team from Monterey is 21-1-1 this season.
According to their schools website, Santa
Catalina went 11-0 in the Mission Trail league
this year and did not allow a single run in those 11
games.
Condence is going to be huge, Rocha said.
On paper, theyre a great team. We just have to
make sure we dont look at them a softball giant,
but as a team we can compete with.
Saturdays game is scheduled for 2 p.m. at the
Salinas Sports Complex.
In other CCS action Saturday, Carlmont, the
No. 1 seed out of Division I, will make its playoff
debut. The seven-time champions have a noon
date with No. 8 Santa Teresa.
The Saints nished third in the Mount
Hamilton League with an 8-6 mark.
Santa Teresa has 2012 experience against the
Peninsula Athletic League, going 2-1. Both wins
came against CCS qualier Burlingame. Their
lone loss to the PAL came in a 2-1 decision to
Hillsdale. Carlmont did not lose to either team in
2012 after going 11-1 in league play.
The game will be played at Hawes Field in
Redwood City and the Saints are 4-3 this season
on neutral sites.
Santa Teresa may have nished third in the
Mission Trail, but they proved they can swing the
bats. The Saints most dangerous hitter is Melissa
Martinek, who in 22 games knocked in 21 runs
for Santa Teresa. Of her 14 extra-base hits, ve of
them were home runs. Their 158 runs scored was
tops in the division.
Martinek has a compliment of bats surrounding
her. Anissa Becerril comes in with a .432 batting
average. Lindsy Rafter carries a .414 average with
11 runs batted in and ve extra-base hits. Allie
Kornahrens also had double digit RBI (14) and
Marissa Ortiz is no slouch either with the sticks.
Capuchino, after taking down Stevenson 12-2
in the rst round, has a date with No. 2 Prospect.
The Mustangs game will preceed Carlmonts at
10 a.m.
The Prospect went 12-2 in league play this sea-
son and are led by the offensive efforts of Amanda
Llerena, whos hitting .311 with 17 runs batted in.
Hayley Schmidt is right behind her with 14 RBI
and a .387 batting average. Rachel Smith has
knocked in 13 while Alyssa Lee is in double dig-
its with 10.
But the Panthers only hit .227 as a team accord-
ing to Maxpreps.com.
The key will be the Capuchino offense and how
they do against the arm of Llerena, who has a 0.83
earned run average in 143 2/3 innings of work.
Shes only allowed 17 earned runs and has struck
out an eye-popping 261 of the teams that
report to Maxpreps.com, that number is good for
rst in CCS.
Half Moon Bay, Carlmont and Capuchino are
the only three local teams remaining in the quest
for CCS. In Division I, Sequoia saw their 21-win
season come to an end with a 6-2 loss to Leland
in a rst-round game Wednesday.
In Division II, Burlingames overall record will
end at 13-14 after a 7-3 loss to Leigh. Hillsdale,
who has been cursed by West Catholic Athletic
League teams as of late, loss 3-1 to Presentation.
Mercy-Burlingame saw their season end as
well. They fell to Monterey 3-1.

Battered Bayern faces Chelsea in Champions final
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MUNICH Franck Ribery
refuses to even entertain the idea of
Bayern Munich losing before its
home fans in the Champions League
nal against Chelsea.
After a long and taxing season, he
insists the team will muster every
last bit of energy Saturday to bring
home a trophy that may have
seemed destined for Bayern since its
stadium was chosen as the venue for
the nal.
Lose? Thats not possible. And if
we are dead after the game, then we
are dead, the Bayern winger said.
Bayern is the rst team to contest
the nal at its own stadium, and
even Chelseas players are willing
to acknowledge thats a massive
advantage.
We are not the favorites of the
game. We are playing away,
Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech said.
It is very rare when you have the
home team playing in the home sta-
dium, using the home dressing
room, so I think the advantage goes
to Bayern Munich because of that.
But we know we have a chance and
we will ght for it.
But Bayern must regroup after a
humiliating 5-2 loss in the German
Cup nal to Borussia Dortmund, the
team that also captured the
Bundesliga title.
A loss in the nal game of the sea-
son at its Allianz Arena would leave
Bayern without a trophy for the sec-
ond straight year.
Arjen Robben, Bayerns other star
winger, said the losses against
Dortmund have only served as fur-
ther motivation for the match of
our lives.
Robben and Ribery spoke
Thursday, one month after their
locker-room clash at halftime of the
home semifinal against Real
Madrid. Ribery punched Robben in
an argument over who should have
taken a free kick.
The feud was reportedly settled,
Bayern went on to eliminate Real in
Madrid on penalty kicks in the sec-
ond leg and Robben extended his
contract with Bayern.
We can only win together,
Ribery said.
Since this is their only chance to
end the season with a trophy,
Robben said his teammates were
more motivated than in 2010, when
the club lost the nal to Inter Milan.
Then, we had a successful sea-
son behind us, Robben said. We
had two titles and we were in a good
mood. Now, this is the only thing
we can win. Thats more of a stimu-
lant. We have to win the title.
Ribery was equally determined.
We must not even think about it
(defeat), he said. If we win the
Champions League, then we can
forget about not winning the league
or the cup. Nobody will care about
that.
Bayern will be looking for its fth
European Cup title without three
suspended defenders David
Alaba, Holger Badstuber and Luiz
Gustavo.
I hope we can win because then
they can forget that they couldnt
play, said Ribery, who was sus-
pended for the 2010 nal.
As it seeks its rst title, Chelsea
will be without four key suspended
players captain John Terry,
Branislav Ivanovic, Ramires and
Raul Meireles.
While Bayern has won 14 of its
last 15 Champions League matches,
including seven straight at home,
and Chelsea has only one win on the
road this season, the London club
will be full of condence after elim-
inating defending champion
Barcelona in the seminals.

New generation Porsche icon
By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The new-generation, 2012 Porsche 911
Carrera has the familiar, sexy shape of its
forebears. But its tastefully redone with a
wider front track, a body thats a bit longer
and lighter, a holistically designed interior and
modern touches like light-emitting diode tail
lamps.
Of course, theres more power, too up to
400 horses and 325 foot-pounds of torque
from the up-level, naturally aspirated six
cylinder.
Surprisingly, though, the additional 15 hors-
es, which for the rst time can come through
a seven-speed manual transmission, dont hurt
fuel economy numbers.
Theres even automatic shutoff of the
engine at stoplights to preserve its premium
gasoline. This stop/start feature is a typical
fuel-saver in gasoline-electric hybrid cars and
was adapted for the non-hybrid 911, where,
impressively, it scarcely hampers off-the-line
getaways.
The ride in the 2012 911 Carrera is more
pliant than ever. Revamped, selectable sus-
pension settings allow a driver to reduce ride
harshness so long-distance travel is more
comfortable and less taxing. When the situa-
tion calls for a more racy performance, the
driver can set the suspension for a rmer ride.
The changes in this seventh-generation 911
are well-received in the United States, where
911 sales for the rst four months are up 48
percent from the same period last year, to a
total of 3,095.

Most Cars Bring This Ad
Judging by the many admirers
drawn to the test 911 Carrera S,
there are plenty more wannabe
buyers out there, even if the start-
ing manufacturers suggested retail
price is $83,050 for a 350-horse-
power, 2012 911 Carrera and
$97,350 for a 400-horsepower,
2012 911 Carrera S.
There are other changes in the
2012 model. The parking brake
now is electronic, so the lever is
gone. While Porsche keeps the
tachometer big and smack in the
middle of the gauges in front of the
driver, the center console is full of
buttons around the shifter that per-
sonalize everything from seat tem-
perature to the volume of sound
from the cars exhaust.
The 911 coupe trunk remains
under the front hood and measures
just 4.76 cubic feet. It is basically
a deep rectangle, so be prepared to
do some hefty lifting to get heavy
items in and out.
Inside, theres a sense the car is
wider. Larger drivers and passen-
gers still will feel closed in. Tall,
lanky passengers will find a decent
amount of seat track and seat
height adjustment.
The two back seats are narrow
and usable for briefcases and such
and, maybe, by children who dont
mind that they cant hear much of
the conversation in the front seat.
The reason: The 911 flat six
engines remain behind the back
seats, and engine sounds so
coveted by Porsche fans come
through clearly. The hallmark
sound is music to the ears of any-
one buying a Porsche.
With a height of around 51 inch-
es, the new 911 sits slightly lower
to the ground than its predecessor;
some will have difficulty dropping
down onto the low, fitted car seats.
Passengers look up at Toyotas and
Hondas. The 911 sits so low that
passengers can find themselves at
eye level with tailpipes of trucks
and license plates of some sport
utility vehicles.
The only way to get clear views
of the road in this car is to be in
front of other vehicles, which is
easy to do because the new 911 is
eminently maneuverable. Indeed,
the test 911 Carrera S tester felt
like it was at one with the driver.
As quickly as the driver decided to
change lanes, the car was respond-
ing to the slightest of steering
inputs.
There were no sloppy motions in
the new 911 tester. There was pre-
cision in steering, stopping and car
motions.
The cars 20-inch tires clung to
the pavement and displayed amaz-
ing grip, even on broken pavement
on twisty mountain roads.
With optional active roll stabi-
lization in the test car, the cars
body motions were minimized, so
the body didnt pitch or display
any weight transfer while traveling
through S-shaped curves.
At just over 3,000 pounds, the
911 doesnt feel heavy like a
Mercedes-Benz SL, and it doesnt
feel overly aggressive the way a V-
8-powered Ford Mustang does.
Sad to say, buyers cant see
much of the 911 engines. The view
is mostly two cooling fans, two
fluid filler areas and a plastic
engine cover.
But theres no complaint about
the performance of the test cars
3.8-liter, four-cam, horizontally
opposed six with peak torque of
325 foot-pounds at 5,600 rpm.
Power from this engine shot the
car forward in any situation,
including just as the engine started
up on its own after a short, fuel-
saving rest at a stoplight. These
startups were smooth, with none of
the hesitancy and near-stall sensa-
tions found on some early hybrids.
The optional dual-clutch, seven-
speed PDK automatic transmission
worked smoothly and could be left
in automatic or shifted manually,
sans clutch pedal.
Zero to 60-mph in the new 911
with PDK is a mere 4 seconds, and
federal fuel economy ratings for
the test car were 19 miles a gallon
in city driving and 27 mpg on
highways. Note these lab-derived
numbers dont take into account
the automatic stop/start mecha-
nism.
The new 911 Carreras has been
the subject of two U.S. safety
recalls. One involved seat belt
anchors that might be faulty. The
second recall involved a fuel line
that might disconnect and leak
gasoline.

WASHINGTON And the heat
goes on. Forecasters predict toasty
temperatures will stretch through
the summer in the U.S. And thats
a bad sign for wildfires in the West.
The forecast for June through
August calls for warmer-than-nor-
mal weather for about three-quar-
ters of the nation, the National
Oceanic Atmospheric
Administration said Thursday.
The warmth is expected south of
a line stretching from middle New
Jersey to southern Idaho. Only tiny
portions of northwestern U.S. and
Alaska are predicted to be cooler
than average and thats only for
June, not the rest of the summer.
Last May until April was the
hottest 12-month period on record
for the nation with records going
back to 1895. This year so far has
seen the hottest March, the third
warmest April and the fourth
warmest January and February in
U.S. weather history. And it was
one of the least snowy years on
record in the Lower 48.
Some people called it the year
without winter.
And the outlook for summer is
more of the same, said Jon
Gottschalck, head of forecast oper-
ations at NOAAs Climate
Prediction Center in Camp
Springs, Md. Theres definitely a
tilt toward being above normal
through the summer.
For some areas of the Southwest
that could mean temperatures 1 or
even 2 degrees warmer than nor-
mal on average, and maybe close
to half a degree warmer than nor-
mal in the East, he said.
One of the reasons is that much
of the countrys soil is already
unusually dry. So the sun doesnt
use as much energy evaporating
water in the soil and instead heats
up the air near the ground even
more, Gottschalck said.
Forecasters say the combination
of the heat and dryness will only
make western wildfires worse. The
fire season has already gotten off
to a dramatic start. Wildfires in
northern Arizona and northern
Colorado forced residents to flee
their homes on Thursday.
Fires in those areas could be
even worse on Friday, said Greg
Carbin, the meteorologist who
coordinates warnings at the Storm
Prediction Center in Norman,
Okla.
To see fires to the extent that
they are this early isnt a good
sign, he said. And the summer
forecast is for a pretty significant
wildfire season developing across
the western United States.
U.S. forecasters say heat
will stay on this summer

makes no
effort to
deceive. This
is light read-
ing, easily
absorbed in a
couple of
hours, dis-
tracted or
not, no thinking required.
At the start of the book, Halpern
is sitting at a lunch table with his
father when he reveals that he plans
to propose to his longtime girl-
friend, Amanda, the next day. He is
eager to witness the excitement he
assumes this news will conjure, but
gets only this: Good for you. I
think Im going to get the romaine
and watercress salad.
Perturbed by his dads reaction,
he gleans a bit of inspiration when
his father eventually tells him what
he did the day before he proposed
to Justins mother. He says he spent
a day thinking about what he had
learned about himself up to that
point in his life, what he had
learned about women, and took
stock of it all.
With that in mind, Halpern takes
readers on a short trip through two
decades of interactions with
women, from the girl he terrorized
in second grade to his rst kiss on
the way home from his high school
homecoming dance to the under-
whelming loss of his virginity to a
Hooters waitress.
None of these stories is particu-
larly unique and, sadly, theyre gen-
erally not that humorous.
I Suck at Girls:
Bland account
of a young man
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
If only What to Expect When
Youre Expecting had focused on
the dads group, and didnt just drop
in on them a handful of times, we
might have been onto something
here.
Chris Rock, Thomas Lennon and
Rob Huebel are among the dudes
who meet regularly to push their
kids in tricked-out strollers, tote
them in high-end carriers and talk
guy stuff in a condential setting
away from the wives. Their no-non-
sense banter, and their unabashed
worship of the buff, shirtless jogger
who frequents their Atlanta park,
liven up what is a rather predictable
and cliched depiction of pregnancy.
(And yes, we are clearly in Atlanta,
as evidenced by the shameless pro-
liferation of product placement for
Delta Airlines, which is based
there.)
A good-looking cast of popular
actors can only do so much with
material thats supercial and sit-
commy. Director Kirk Jones lm is
inspired by the Heidi Murkoff
advice book of the same name, one
that every single pregnant woman
on the planet surely has read since
its initial publication in 1985. But
similar to 2009s Hes Just Not
That Into You, the script from
Shauna Cross and Heather Hach
merely uses a familiar non-ction
title as a leaping-off point to
explore various intertwined rela-
tionships, ostensibly for hilarious
comic effect.
There are some laughs here and
there and a few recognizable
moments of honesty. Elizabeth

SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
A RAISIN IN THE SUN. The
African-American Shakespeare
Companys richly textured and beauti-
fully executed revival of Lorraine
Hansberrys A Raisin in the Sun lets us
know the world has changed since the
play debuted on Broadway in 1959, but
what now comes to the foreground is a
different disturbing reality. The play
arose from the experiences of
Hansberrys family when they were
forced to the courts to fight racially
motivated restrictive covenants in
Chicago, and 50 years later this might
seem to relegate A Raisin in the Sun to
the role of history play. But not so.
Now, although the script remains the
same, modern eyes see very contempo-
rary conflicts unfold as a multi-genera-
tional family is forced to live together
under economic stress, an aging moth-
ers love and concern for her volatile
adult son push her to trust him with her
money, and a sons soul-destroying
dependency and thwarted ambition
drive him to the edge of financial elder
abuse. As an older social problem has
been ameliorated, a newer intergenera-
tional battle has been highlighted. Two
hours and 40 minutes with one inter-
mission. Directed by L. Peter
Callender. Through May 27.
CAST:
Leontyne Mbele-Mbong (Ruth
Younger), Todd Risby (Walter Lee
Younger), Siaira Harris (Beneatha
Younger), Eleanor Jacobs (Lena
Younger), Savion Green, Zion
Richardson (Travis Younger), Erik
Banks (Joseph Asagi), Keagan
Wethington (George Murchinson),
Sherri Young (Whilemina Othello
Johnson), Lance Huntley (Karl
Lindner) and B Chico Purdiman
(Bobo).
STAGE DIRECTIONS:
The Buriel Clay Theatre, located on
the first floor of the African-American
Art & Culture Complex, 762 Fulton St.
(at Webster), San Francisco, holds
approximately 210 seats on three sides
of the open stage. Free surface parking

AN ASIDE:
Director L. Peter Callender said, I
am thrilled to direct this seminal
American drama for African-American
Shakespeare Company. It is a fiercely
moving portrait of people whose hopes
and dreams are constantly deferred. It
is not just an African-American play,
but an American play; it is a play that
still resonates and speaks to all of us.
OH, AND DID YOU KNOW?:
The plays title comes from the poem
Harlem (also known as A Dream
Deferred) by Langston Hughes.
Playwright Hansberry reflected upon
her familys litigation in her book To
Be Young, Gifted and Black. The
Hansberry house at 6140 S. Rhodes in
Washington Park, which they bought in
1937, was given landmark status by the
Chicago City Councils Committee on
Historical Landmarks Preservation in
2010.

Banks character begins to touch on some-
thing relatable; an author and owner of a
breastfeeding boutique, she nds her militant
stances hard to maintain once she becomes
pregnant herself. As shes about to give a big
speech, she realizes all the platitudes written
on her note cards are glossy and false; instead,
she opens her mouth and dares to share her
third-trimester misery with a huge, gawking
crowd. Then again, this is one of those embar-
rassing moments of vulnerability that always
seem to take place in front of a huge, gawking
crowd in romantic comedies.
More often, we get the kind of contrived,
shrieky wackiness that breaks out when all the
pregnant women whose stories weve been
following just happen to give birth at the same
hospital on the same night. Being crowd-
pleasing was obviously more important that
being truthful.
We begin with Cameron Diaz as Jules, a t-
ness expert and the host of a Biggest Loser-
style reality show. She didnt expect to be
expecting with Evan (Matthew Morrison), her
partner on a Dancing With the Stars-style
reality show, but now these two must nd a
way to juggle a baby along with their new
relationship and high-prole careers.
Jennifer Lopez plays Holly, a photographer
whos been trying for years to conceive with
her husband, Alex (Rodrigo Santoro), with no
luck. Theyre hoping to adopt an orphan from
Ethiopia, an emotionally intense, life-chang-
ing moment for which Lopezs character
apparently felt the need to wear fake eyelash-
es.
Banks Wendy also has been trying to have
a baby for a while with her husband, Gary
(Ben Falcone). Once the test nally comes up
positive and they go to tell Garys father
(Dennis Quaid), an arrogant former NASCAR
legend, they nd that dad and his new trophy
wife (Brooklyn Decker) also have gotten
pregnant with no trouble at all. This com-
petitive daddy-issue subplot, which culmi-
nates with a zany golf-cart showdown, is one
of the more imsy and clichid elements of the
lm.
Then theres the twentysomething Rosie
(Anna Kendrick) and Marco (Chace
Crawford), competing food-truck entrepre-
neurs and former high school classmates who
werent all that careful when they nally gave
into their irtations one night. Kendrick is, as
always, adorable and accessible and she and
Crawford have a nice chemistry with each
other.
Jones bops around between all these stories
at a steady pace and only nds real energy
when he comes back to the dads group, which
Alex joins in preparation for fatherhood.
Within seconds of watching Rock riff on what
its really like to be a parent, you get a glimpse
of how good this movie might have been.
Instead, you should probably keep your
expectations in check.
What to Expect When Youre Expecting, a
Lionsgate release, is rated PG-13 for crude
and sexual content, thematic elements and
language. Running time: 110 minutes. Two
stars out of four.

EXPECT
She and her husband, producer Max
Handelman, welcomed son Felix last year,
opting to use a gestational surrogate after fac-
ing infertility. Banks connected to the lm
adaptation of What to Expect because its
less about pregnancy and more about parent-
ing.
When I was going through my battle with
infertility, I got wonderful advice, which was:
Why are you so worried about the pregnancy?
Just get the baby whatever way you can get
your baby, she said. Pregnant women would
say, Yeah, pregnancy is really great and love-
ly, but then you go to the hospital and they
give you your baby and you have to mother it.
Thats the part thats important, mothering the
baby, and at the end of the day, thats what this
movie is about.
Banks plays Wendy Cooper, a perky lacta-
tion expert and pregnancy authority whose
own expectant experience isnt the glowy,
blissful one shed hoped for.
All the not-so-wonderful things about
pregnancy that are possible like atulence,
acne, constipation, swollen ankles, fatigue
and anxiety happen to Wendy, said direc-
tor Kirk Jones. Elizabeth Banks is just a
genius comedian and she played everything so
beautifully.
Though Banks wore a fake tummy in the
lm, a prosthetic belly is not the same as
being pregnant.
Its an approximation of the physicality
you have as a pregnant person, she said. It
makes you walk differently and sit differently,
eat differently, and it provides a wonderful
shelf for your coffee mug. And its heavy, so
your back aches, so its a wonderful approxi-
mation.
Though the part didnt really make her feel
pregnant, Banks admits she was denitely
moved at the end (of the lm) when they all
got a baby.
The actress will be back on screen next
month in People Like Us, which she
describes as a beautiful, wonderful story
about people who nd family. Next up is
Pitch Perfect, which she produced with her
husband: A comedy set in the competitive
world of collegiate acapella. Banks said its
the hardest she has ever worked.
Its like birthing a baby almost! she said.
Until its out to the world, theres no end to
worrying about it.
The lm is due in the fall, right when she
returns to the world of The Hunger Games
to lm its second installment, Catching Fire.
Her turn as the super-coiffed Efe Trinket
has won Banks younger fans and reinvigorat-
ed her passion for acting.
I just love Efe so much, the actress said.
Shes a really amazing character, a compli-
cated, interesting, wild character to play
the type of character that when youre a young
actor you dream of getting to play, and I get to
do it now.
Even if it is all a little exhausting.

Following the victory, the players celebrated
on the eld to cheers from the crowd as Ostler
presented the Davies Cup and the winners
shared a prosecco toast. San Francisco now
leads the historic rivalry series 2-1, with the
East Coasters swearing revenge. The New
York musicians beat their Bay Area cohorts
24-16 in San Francisco in 1981. Captain and
Principal Trumpet Mark Inouye said, Bob
Ward pitched a great game, allowing only four
runs. That is an incredible feat for a slow pitch
softball game of nine innings. Equally impres-
sive is the 34 runs scored our team was an
offensive machine. It was complete domina-
tion in all facets - pitching, defense, offense
and even uniforms! Those jerseys looked
great on everyone!

NEW YORK Like the King of
Pop or the Queen of Soul, Donna
Summer was bestowed a title fitting of
musical royalty the Queen of
Disco.
Yet unlike Michael Jackson or
Aretha Franklin, it was a designation
she wasnt comfortable embracing.
I grew up on rock n roll,
Summer once said when explaining
her reluctance to claim the title.
Indeed, as disco boomed then
crashed in a single decade in the
1970s, Summer, the beautiful voice
and face of the genre with pulsating
hits like I Feel Love, Love to Love
You Baby and Last Dance, would
continue to make hits incorporating
the rock roots she so loved. One of her
biggest hits, She Works Hard for the
Money, came in the early 1980s and
relied on a smoldering guitar solo as
well as Summers booming voice.
Yet it was with her disco anthems
that she would have the most impact
in music, and its how she was remem-
bered Thursday as news spread of her
death at age 63.
Summer died of cancer Thursday
morning in Naples, Fla., said her pub-
licist Brian Edwards. Her family
released a statement saying they are
at peace celebrating her extraordinary
life and her continued legacy.
It had been decades since that brief,
flashy moment when Summer was
every inch the Disco Queen.

Study says healthy
eating can cost less
By Sam Hananel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Is it really more expensive to eat
healthy?
An Agriculture Department study released Wednesday found
that most fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods cost less
than foods high in fat, sugar and salt.
That counters a common perception among some consumers
that its cheaper to eat junk food than a nutritionally balanced
meal.
The government says it all depends on how you measure the
price. If you compare the price per calorie as some previous
researchers have done then higher-calorie pastries and
processed snacks might seem like a bargain compared with
fruits and vegetables.
But comparing the cost of foods by weight or portion size
shows that grains, vegetables, fruit and dairy foods are less
expensive than most meats or foods high in saturated fat, added
sugars or salt.
That means bananas, carrots, lettuce and pinto beans are all
less expensive per portion than French fries, soft drinks, ice
cream or ground beef.
Using price per calorie doesnt tell you how much food
youre going to get or how full you are going to feel, said
Andrea Carlson, scientist at the USDAs Economic Research
Service and an author of the study.
For example, eating a chocolate glazed donut with 240 calo-
ries might not satiate you but a banana with 105 calories just
might.
In the comparisons, the USDA researchers used national
average prices from Nielsen Homescan data, which surveyed a
panel of households that recorded all food purchases over a
year from retail outlets.
The cost of eating healthy foods has been the subject of
growing debate as experts warn Americans about the dangers
of obesity. More than a third of U.S. adults are obese, accord-
ing to the government, and researchers expect that number to
grow to 42 percent by 2030.

Smooth, sweet, cold and just the tick-
et for contracting a case of brain freeze
on a sweltering summer day. Theres a
reason milkshakes are a staple of
American childhood.
But why should the kids have all the
fun?
Sure, strawberry, chocolate and vanil-
la make ne beverages for summer. But
for an after-dinner twist just for the
grownups, how about stirring in a little
black raspberry liqueur or a dash of
bourbon? Bartenders around the country
are doing just that as they shake up the
seasonal staple.
At Hill Country Barbecue Market in
Washington, the maple bourbon milk-
shake pays homage to the retro diners
and soda fountains of the 1950s. Served
in the classic style with two straws in
one large glass, this shake made for shar-
ing combines a rich blend of bourbon
with vanilla ice cream and maple syrup
infused with vanilla beans. The whole
thing is topped with maraschino cherries
in the classic tradition.
In Seattle, chef Walter Pisano of Tulio
Ristorante has a desserts for grown-
ups menu that includes a prosecco oat
made of honey gelato, honey-infused
whipped cream and prosecco.
And how about revisiting that old
favorite, the root beer oat? At Harry
Dentons Starlight Room in San
Francisco, bar manager Joel Teitelbaum
serves a hard root beer oat that includes
Zaya aged rum with vanilla notes and
Averna, an Italian bitter that adds a
chocolate note.
Also in San Francisco, pastry chef
Francis Ang at Fifth Floor restaurant has
a wild take on the shake.
He serves a foie gras milkshake fea-
turing foie gras ice cream and walnut
liquor. (This treat wont last much longer
than ice cream left out in the sun since
California is banning force-feeding
water fowl to create foie gras effective
July.) The ice cream is mixed with milk,
sugar, a little salt and the walnut liquor,
then poured over ice and topped with
root beer.
Want to try this at home? Here are a
couple of recipes to let you shake up
your own summer indulgence.
PURPLE VELVET MILKSHAKE
Purely for adults, this silky smooth
milkshake is perfect for an after dinner
treat. The deep, rich avors of black
raspberry ice cream combine with the
barrel-aged smokiness of bourbon to
make a dark, silky indulgence.
Start to nish: 10 minutes
Servings: 2
1 cup black raspberry ice cream
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
2 ounces bourbon
1 ounce Chambord liqueur
Fresh blackberries
Fresh mint leaves
In a blender, combine both ice creams,
the bourbon and Chambord, then blend
until smooth. Divide between 2 glasses,
then garnish each with fresh blackberries
and mint leaves.
TOASTED MALT MILKSHAKE
This milkshake combines the creamy
richness of the classic malted milkshake
with the avor of a toasted almond cock-
tail. The result is a toasty, malty, frothy
treat. Malted milk powder can be found
in the grocers baking aisle, or some-
times with the coffee and tea.
Start to nish: 10 minutes
Servings: 2
1/4 cup Ovaltine Classic Malt
1 cup vanilla ice cream
1 ounce amaretto liqueur
1 ounce Kahlua liqueur
1 ounce Frangelico liqueur
Finely chopped toasted almonds, to
garnish
In a blender, combine the malted milk
powder, vanilla ice cream, amaretto,
Kahlua and Frangelico. Blend until
smooth. Slightly moisten the rims of 2
glasses, then overturn them and dip the
rims in the toasted almonds. Pour the
milkshake into the center of the glasses
without disturbing the rims.
Nothing plain about adult milkshakes
Sure, strawberry, chocolate and vanilla make ne beverages for summer. But for
an after-dinner twist just for the grownups, how about stirring in a little black
raspberry liqueur or a dash of bourbon?

Friday morning. The ticker symbol will
be FB.
Facebooks offering is the culmination
of a years worth of Internet IPOs that
began last May with LinkedIn Corp.
Since then, a steady stream of startups
focused on the social side of the Web has
gone public, with varying degrees of suc-
cess. It all led up to Facebook, the com-
pany thats come to dene social net-
working by getting 900 million people
around the world to share everything
from photos of their pets to their deepest
thoughts.
It has done so while managing to
become one of the few protable Internet
companies to go public recently. It had
net income of $205 million in the rst
three months of 2012, on revenue of
$1.06 billion. In all of 2011, it earned $1
billion, up from $606 million a year ear-
lier. Thats a far cry from 2007, when it
posted a net loss of $138 million and rev-
enue of $153 million.
They could have gone public in 2009
at a much lower price, said Nick
Einhorn, research analyst at IPO invest-
ment advisory rm Renaissance Capital.
They waited as long as they could to go
public, so it makes sense that its a very
large offering.
Facebook Inc.s valuation is the third-
highest in an IPO, according to Dealogic,
a provider of nancial data. Only two
Chinese banks, Agricultural Bank of
China in 2010 and Industrial and
Commercial Bank of China in 2006,
have been worth more. They were worth
$133 billion and $132 billion, respective-
ly. By another measure the amount
raised Facebook ranks third among
U.S. IPOs. The largest was Visa, which
raised $17.9 billion in 2008. No. 2 was
Enel, a power company, and No. 4 was
General Motors, according to
Renaissance Capital.
The $38 share price is the price at
which the investment banks arranging
the offering will sell the stock to their
clients. In an IPO, the banks buy the
stock rst from the company and the
early investors and then sell to the public.
If extra shares reserved to cover addition-
al demand are sold as part of the transac-
tion, Facebook and its early investors
stand to reap as much as $18.4 billion.
For a company that was born in a
Harvard dormitory and went on to
reimagine online communication, the
stock sale means more money to build on
the features and services it offers users. It
means an infusion of money to hire the
best engineers to work at its sprawling
Menlo Park headquarters, or in New York
City, where it opened an engineering
ofce last year.
And it means early investors, who took
a chance seeding the young social net-
work with start-up funds six, seven and
eight years ago, can reap big rewards.
Peter Thiel, the venture capitalist who
sits on Facebooks board of directors,
invested $500,000 in the company in
2004. Hes selling nearly 17 million of
his shares in the IPO, which means hell
get some $640 million. He will hold on
to about 28 million shares, worth $1.06
billion.
The offering values Facebook, whose
2011 revenue was $3.7 billion, at as
much as $104 billion. The sky-high valu-
ation has its skeptics, who worry about
signs of a slowdown and Facebooks
ability to grow in the mobile space when
it was created with desktop computers in
mind. Rival Google Inc., whose revenue
stood at $38 billion last year, has a mar-
ket capitalization of $207 billion.
There seems to be somewhat of a
hype around the stock offering, says
Gartner analyst Brian Blau.
That may be an understatement.
Facebooks IPO dominated media cov-
erage in the weeks and days leading up to
the event. CEO Mark Zuckerbergs
hoodie made headlines when he wore it
to a meeting with investors as did
General Motors decision this week to
stop advertising on the site and rival
Fords afrmation that its Facebook ads
have been effective.
There are more than a few reasons for
the exuberance. First, theres Facebooks
sheer size and high prole. The company
grew from a college-only social network
to an Internet phenomenon embraced by
legions of people, from teenagers to
grandmothers to pro-democracy activists
in the Middle East.
Secondly, its personal.
Its probably one of the rst times
there has been an IPO where everyone
sort of has a stake in the outcome, Blau
says. While most Facebook users wont
see a penny from the offering, they are all
intimately familiar with the company.
And then theres Zuckerberg, who
turned 28 on Monday. He has emerged as
the latest in a lineage of Silicon Valley
prodigies who are alternately hailed for
pushing the world in new directions and
reviled for overstepping their bounds. He
counted the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs
among his mentors, and he became one
of the worlds youngest billionaires at
least on paper well before Facebook
went public. A dramatized and less-than-
attering version of Facebooks founding
was the subject of a Hollywood movie
that won three Academy Awards last
year, propelling Zuckerberg even further
into the public spotlight.

U.S. govt sets stiff tariffs on China solar panels
WASHINGTON The Obama administration moved
Thursday to impose stiff new tariffs on solar panels made in
China, nding that Chinese companies are improperly ooding
the U.S. market with government-subsidized products.
The Commerce Department said Chinese producers had
dumped solar cells and panels in the United States at margins
ranging from 31 percent to nearly 250 percent. If the preliminary
ruling is upheld, tariffs averaging 31 percent could be imposed on
Chinese solar-panel imports.
The tariffs would be in addition to fees ranging from 2.9 per-
cent to 4.73 percent imposed in March after the department found
that China is improperly subsidizing its solar manufacturers.
The tariffs announced Thursday were higher than expected and
could ratchet up trade tensions between the two countries.
Several U.S. solar panel makers, led by Oregon-based
SolarWorld, had asked the government to penalize China for
dumping low-price products on U.S. markets. The companies
are struggling against erce competition from China as well as
weakening demand in Europe and other key markets, just as
President Barack Obama is working to promote renewable ener-
gy.
Canadians squall about
Vermont wind energy project
STANSTEAD, Quebec The winds blowing through
Canadas broad St. Lawrence Valley and across Vermonts hill-
tops are stirring up an international tempest over which countrys
laws should govern how those breezes are harnessed for electric-
ity.
Some residents of the Quebec town of Stanstead are upset
about plans in Vermont to erect just south of the border two
industrial-size wind turbines one of which would be about
1,000 feet from a few Canadian and Vermont homes.
Quebec requires wind turbines to be at least 1,640 feet from
homes, and the Canadian homeowners are demanding those rules
be followed. But in Vermont, the allowable distance is deter-
mined by the sound of the spinning blades, and the projects
developer says the turbines would meet those requirements.
Cuban presidents daughter gets U.S. visa
HAVANA Cuban rst daughter Mariela Castro has been
granted a U.S. visa to attend events in San Francisco and New
York, sparking a restorm of criticism from Cuban-American
politicians who called her an enemy of democracy and a shill for
the Communist government her family has led for decades.
The trip, which kicks off next week when Castro is due to chair
a panel on sexual diversity at a conference organized by the Latin
American Studies Association, is among several to the United

The city of San Mateo prides itself on part-
nering with our residents and businesses to
together enhance the quality of life for both
current and future generations, San Mateo
City Manager Susan Loftus wrote in a state-
ment. Under the leadership of our City
Council, our committed and talented employ-
ees serve our community with distinction
every day and truly make a difference in the
San Mateo community.
The goal of the Strong Cities campaign is
to promote the innovation and experience of
local ofcials in delivering critical city servic-
es at a time when state leaders are struggling
with fundamental issues of governance.
Strong Cities/Strong State seeks to posi-
tion cities as vital, necessary and equal part-
ners in building a better California, according
to the league.
Previously, the league highlighted
Burlingame and Brisbane in the county as
strong cities.
The campaign will continue proling indi-
vidual cities each day. Proles include photos,
video and other media showing how each city
has worked to both provide essential services
as well as elevate the quality life of its resi-
dents.

help lessen the blow. In that same period of
time, McBride added, the districts enrollment
has increased by 1,000 students.
Hickey, on the other hand, said the district
has opportunities to save and raise money by
using its property differently. Given the space
available, Hickey said the district should be
able to close two schools and comfortably t
all its students. Those vacant properties could
be leased out to create revenue for the district.
Julie Guaspari, a parent volunteer co-chair-
ing Redwood City Community for Better
Schools, pointed out the inequities in per
pupil funding for elementary school districts
which feed into the Sequoia High School
District. Redwood City is the only one with-
out a parcel tax.
Details of how the funds would exactly be
used if passed have not yet been discussed. As
written in the ballot language, the money
should also help retain and attract qualied
teachers; and support school libraries. Such
funds could be used to have specialists in sub-
jects like reading and math who come to a
class and work with a small group of students,
said McBride. While those students work with
a specialist, the teacher has a smaller group of
students with which to work.
Before putting a measure on the ballot, a
community survey was taken in January
showing support of 73 percent or higher for a
$75 parcel tax in either the June or November
election. Looking for new revenue sources has
been a struggle for the district which has seen
an increase in class sizes and the workload for
almost all employees since the 2007-08
school year.
A parcel tax would provide a new stream of
revenue, which is why district ofcials have
long researched the possibility. Redwood City
has attempted a parcel tax before in 1993,
2005 and 2009; all failed to pass.

MEASURE W
rst annual gain in 19 months at 8.3 percent,
according to DataQuick, which tracks housing
trends across the state. The year-over-year
advance was the rst since September 2010,
according to the data rm, which gets its
information from county recorders ofces.
In San Mateo County, the median home
price for houses and condominiums was
$550,000 in April 2012, the same exact gure
for April 2011, according to DataQuick.
In April 2011, 584 homes were sold in San
Mateo County but the number climbed signif-
icantly in April 2012 to 783 homes sold,
according to DataQuick.
Sales might be up in San Mateo County but
the inventory is low, said Vicki Moore, with
Re/Max Star Properties in Redwood Shores.
Ive been tracking inventory for 24 months
and there is a denite decline, there is nothing
to sell, Moore said.
Homes on the market are receiving multiple
offers, sometimes in the double digits, Moore
said, but the offers are not coming in far above
asking price, which is keeping the median
home price stagnant.
It is a good time to buy with interest rates
being low, she said.
We just need people to sell, Moore said.
Because of late data availability, however,
sales were estimated in Alameda and San
Mateo counties, Andrew LePage, with
DataQuick, told the Daily Journal.
According to the San Mateo County
Association of Realtors, which tracks housing
numbers based on its own membership
through a multiple-listing service, sales vol-
ume increased 19.5 percent in April 2012
compared to April 2011 and the median home
price climbed from $725,000 to $745,000, a
modest 2.9 percent increase. SAMCAR mem-
bers sold 436 homes in April 2012 compared
to 365 in April 2011.
The county recorders ofce also keeps data
on short sales and transactions made by real
estate agents who are not members of SAM-
CAR.
In the Bay Area, Contra Costa County saw
the highest increase in year-over-year median
prices for April at 11.7 percent at $288,750.
Median home prices dropped in Marin County
by 6.4 percent from $660,000 to $618,000 in
year-over-year gures for April, according to
DataQuick.
The highest median price for homes in the
Bay Area is in San Francisco County at
$700,000 and the lowest is in Solano County
at $175,000. The median home price in Santa
Clara County is $513,000, according to
DataQuick.
The smallest share of foreclosure deals in
four years and a shift in sales toward move-up
markets helped to boost values, DataQuick
President John Walsh wrote in a statement.
Buyers are seeking to take advantage of
decreased prices and record-low mortgage
rates, according to the company.

HOMES
FRIDAY, MAY 18, 2012
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you feel stifed, theres
a good chance you could be getting in your own way
by thinking you have to follow some kind of schedule.
Relax and let the moment dictate your actions.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dont prematurely
reveal your plans or ideas to associates who have
little vision. They could talk you out of it and thereby
dilute your possibilities for success.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- All you need is a
presentation that has continuity in order to sway oth-
ers to you way of thinking. Be sure to organize your
thoughts before offering any suggestions to others.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont be too quick to criti-
cize others, especially those who are doing their best
working on your behalf. Instead give them encour-
agement and applause for trying so hard.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Should your creative
talents be challenged, youll have more than enough
gumption to rise to the occasion. You wont have any
trouble dealing with paper dragons.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Most work-related ar-
rangements you might get yourself into show a great
deal of promise, with the exception of those that are
purely speculative or sheer gambles.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If theres some kind of
important decision that has to be made, talk things
over with your mate or someone you respect. Collec-
tive judgment is likely to hold the answer.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Dont let someone
who is jealous of your achievements put a damper
on them. You have every right to be proud of your ac-
complishments, so pound your chest all you want.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- On the whole, this
should be a very pleasant day for you. The only thing
that could put a damper on things is if you go over-
broad celebrating. Subdue all extravagant urges.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Its a waste of time
to unnecessarily worry about the end results of your
efforts. Just relax and everything should turn out the
way you want it to.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The only thing that
could stop you from getting your points across is if
you doubt your ability to do so. The stronger your
feelings of self-worth, the more effective youll be.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you follow your
instincts, youll know if something truly is a good buy.
Dont let a salesperson make the call for you.

Friday May 18, 2012 THEDAILYJOURNAL
By Phil Couvrette
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONTREAL Facing the most
sustained student protest in
Canadian history, Quebecs provin-
cial government weighed emer-
gency legislation Thursday aimed at
ending rallies and demonstrations
against rising tuition costs.
Authorities said 122 were arrest-
ed late Wednesday as thousands of
demonstrators spilled into the
streets of Montreal, with some
smashing bank windows and hurl-
ing objects at police. Protests have
been going on for three months.
Quebec Premier Jean Charest said
the proposed legislation would not
roll back the tuition hikes. Rather, it
would temporarily halt the spring
semester at faculties paralyzed by
walkouts and push up the summer
holidays. Classes would resume
earlier in August.
The government also suggested it
could include some harsh measures
like stiff nancial penalties for
anyone preventing classrooms from
opening.
We have the conviction this deci-
sion is important not only for our
youths but for the future of the
Quebec people, Charest said in the
provincial legislature Thursday.
The Quebec national assembly is
being convened Thursday evening
for a debate expected to last through
the night into Friday.
Dozens of protesters on
Wednesday stormed into a Montreal
university, breaking up classes.
Tensions continued Thursday in
Gatineau, Quebec, the site of previ-
ous protests against the hike that
resulted in hundreds of arrests,
where three junior colleges were
evacuated after a bomb threat.
Courses resumed later in the day.
The government has pointed out
that a majority of students in
Quebec have quietly nished their
semester and arent striking.
But many remain angry over the
proposed tuition hikes.
The three-month conflict has
caused considerable social upheaval
in the French speaking province
known for having more contentious
protests than elsewhere in Canada.
There have been numerous
injuries, countless trafc jams, a
few smashed windows, subway
evacuations, clashes with law
enforcement and disruptions to the
academic calendar.
The protests have at times mush-
roomed beyond the cause of cheap
tuition, attracting a wide swath of
other participants who dislike the
provincial Liberal government or
represent a variety of disparate
causes ranging from environmental-
ism, to Quebec independence and
anarchy.
