HELD IN CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The South Bayside Waste
Management Authority board called
for an independent investigation
into claims that one of the agencys
employees is being retaliated
against for complaining about ques-
tionable contracts approved by
Executive Director Kevin
McCarthy.
The SBWMA, or RethinkWaste,
board met in closed session for more
than 90 minutes yesterday afternoon
before its legal counsel Jean Savaree
made the announcement before its
regularly scheduled meeting.
McCarthy also had a performance
evaluation in closed session yester-
day after which the board was
expected to approve his salary for
next year to more than $188,000 as
the item was on the agencys con-
sent calendar.
But the item was continued and
McCarthy was not awarded a pay
raise yesterday.
The board also opted not to adopt
its $41.5 million budget yesterday,
which called for the elimination of
the recycling coordinator position
currently held by Cathy Hidalgo.
The board moved to allow 90 days
before it adopts the scal year 2012-
13 budget.
Hidalgo alleges her job was due to
be eliminated because she com-
plained to McCarthy about the
award of contracts to a close person-
al friend, one of which was
$100,000 more than it should have
been.
Hidalgo sat at the boardroom
table yesterday but kept her head

Americas historic health care
overhaul, derided by Republicans as
intrusive, costly Obamacare, nar-
rowly survived an election-year bat-
tle at the Supreme Court Thursday
with the improbable help of conser-
vative Chief Justice John Roberts.
The 5-4 ruling now makes it cer-
tain that major health care changes
will move ahead, touching virtually
every Americans life. And
Democrats, who have learned to
accept if not love the GOP label for
the law, heartily praised the deci-
sion.

Dr. Ulrike Sujansky sees fewer
letters to insurance companies in her
future.
With the U.S. Supreme Court
upholding the lions share of the
Affordable Care Act, including
caveats about pre-existing condi-
tions, Sujansky said she wont have
to be as careful in her notes out of
concern insurance companies will
use them to deny her patients cover-
age.
Sujansky once diagnosed a mid-
dle-aged female patient mourning
her fathers passing as reactive
depression, the clinical term for nor-
mal grieving. The woman was
unable to secure health insurance
because the company considered
this a pre-existing condition, said
Sujansky, who also serves as presi-
dent of Private Practice Doctors of
the Peninsula.
Several letters later, the decision
was overturned but Sujansky is
hopeful yesterdays landmark court
ruling will prevent similar situations

Management Authority board chair,
at yesterdays SBWMA meeting.
WHATDOESTHERULINGMEANTOME?
The law tells almost everyone they must have
health coverage and guarantees it will be
available even if you are already ill or need
hugely expensive care. It helps lots of people,
not just the poor but many upper-income
families,as well,afford coverage.And it requires
insurers toprovidecertainbasicbenets like
free preventive care.
WHATTHEJUSTICESSAID
The high court upheld almost all of the law,
including the most disputed part:the mandate
that virtually all Americans have health
insurance or pay a penalty.The court said that
penalty is essentially a tax, and thats why the
government has the power to impose it.
The ruling limited the laws plan to expand the
Medicaid insurance program for the poor, a
joint effort of the federal government and
states. It says the U.S. government cannot
withhold a states entire Medicaid allotment if
it doesnt participate in the expansion.

Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia
Sotomayor to form the 5-4 majority.
HUGEPOLITICALIMPACT
The court upheld Obamas signature legislative
achievement. Final word from the court
amplies the most polarizing issue of his re-
election campaign against Republican Mitt
Romney.
GOP lawmakers and Romney have promised
to repeal the law if they are in power after the
November election.
WHATNOW?

Man dies after being
convicted in arson case
PHOENIX An Arizona man col-
lapsed in court and died after hearing a
jury convict him of burning down his
$3.5 million mansion.
A Maricopa County Superior Court
jury on Thursday found Michael Marin,
of Paradise Valley, guilty of arson of an
occupied structure.
The Arizona Republic reports the 53-
year-old collapsed shortly after the ver-
dict was read. He was taken to a hospi-
tal, where he was pronounced dead.
When Marins trial began in May,
prosecutors said he could face nearly 16
years in prison if he was convicted.
Marins suburban Phoenix mansion
burned down in July 2009 after it failed
to sell at a charity auction.
Fire investigators determined the re
was deliberate. Prosecutors claimed
Marin set re to his house because he
could no longer pay the mortgage.
Famed Galapagos tortoise
to be embalmed, displayed

Galapagos Islands giant tortoise known
as Lonesome George will remain a

Ecuadors environment minister says
the reptile that became a symbol of dis-

Minister Marcela Aguinaga told
reporters Tuesday that an autopsy deter-
mined that Lonesome George died of
old age. He was believed to be about 100
years old.
Lonesome George was the last of the
Pinta Island giant tortoise subspecies,
and he failed to leave offspring despite
the best efforts of conservationists.
He was discovered in 1972 discovery
on Pinta Island and became an ambassa-
dor of sorts for the archipelago off

fauna helped inspire Charles Darwins
ideas on evolution.

Free to attend a wedding Saturday night?
Dont worry; it wouldnt be crashing. All
are invited to attend Tony N Tinas
Wedding starting at 6 p.m. at the Veterans
Memorial Center, 1455 Madison Ave. in
Redwood City. Attending comes with a ticket
price but the Broadway By the Bay perform-
ance isnt just about two people saying I do!
Funds raised from the event support
Broadway By the Bays Youth Theatre
Conservatory.
For Educational Outreach Director
Stephanie Renee Maysonave the one-night-
only performance will be a bit like a reunion.
The 31-year-old San Carlos native was part of
the San Francisco cast for about a year, which
allowed her to play a few of the roles in the
scripted improv show.
Becoming part of a show thats like a fami-
ly isnt how Maysonave, who is heavily
involved in the youth offerings at Broadway
By the Bay, got started in the world of theater.
When I was 5, I asked my mom if I could
be a cartoon. She didnt know what to do with
that, Maysonave said.
She started taking acting and modeling
classes but really enjoyed performing in front
of a live audience. Those performances were
strictly at schools, Maysonave didnt get
involved with the larger Bay Area community
as a girl. After graduating from Notre Dame
High School, Maysonave earned her bache-
lors degree in acting from Marymount
Manhattan College in New York City. Three
classes short of graduation, Maysonave
moved to North Carolina to nish at her col-
leges sister school, Meredith College. She
ended up getting hired to work as the assistant
technical director after graduating, which is
when Maysonave got the bug for behind-the-
scenes creativity work.
I love performing and I think its some-
thing Ill never lose. But I love the backstage
creative part of theater, she said, adding that
she personally doesnt have the best singing
voice. Its actually for that reason that
Maysonave really enjoys directing musicals.
Maysonave then spent a year in London
earning her masters degree in classical acting
from Central School of Speech and Drama. In
the same year, Maysonave and her new anc,
Mike Wozniak, moved back to San Carlos
together.
Maysonave began teaching and acting in the
area. Tony N Tinas Wedding at Boxcar
Theatre in San Francisco was the second gig
she booked. The environmental theater show
is set at a traditional Italian wedding.
Audience members act as guests and while
there is a scripted story most of the actors are
using improv throughout the show. For this
weekends fundraiser, Maysonave was able to
get many of her castmates to revisit their old
roles in an effort to support the youth theater
program.
Broadway By the Bays Youth Theatre
Conservatory provides professional level the-
ater opportunities for children. Funds raised
support the program as well as scholarships.
Tony N Tinas Wedding is from 6 p.m. to
10 p.m. Saturday, June 30 at the Veterans
Memorial Center, 1455 Madison Ave. in
Redwood City. The show includes an Italian
dinner. Tickets are $75 for general seating and
$100 for VIP seating. For tickets call the box

State budget crafted
to influence voters
By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown and Democratic law-
makers have long warned of dire consequences if California
voters reject a proposed tax hike on the November ballot. In
adopting a $91.3 state billion budget, they made it clear it was-
nt a hollow threat.
Lawmakers approved and the governor signed $6 billion in
automatic cuts late Wednesday that will go into effect if the ini-
tiative fails. Distasteful provisions added in the nal days of
negotiations authorized shorter school years, less money for
local police, and possible fee increases at the University of
California and California State University systems.
These trigger cuts are real, said Democratic Sen. Ted Lieu.
They will be catastrophic if the governors initiative does not
pass in November.
To make sure voters are paying attention, lawmakers also
passed a separate measure that will likely give Browns initia-
tive top billing on the crowded fall ballot. Wealthy Los Angeles
civil rights attorney Molly Munger and her rival tax initiative
campaign sued the secretary of state Thursday, seeking to
block what they called an abuse of power that would give the
governors proposal an unfair advantage.
The governor and lawmakers said the bulk of cuts will have
to fall on public schools and universities because education
accounts for more than half of state spending. The reduction
could further harm the troubled education system thats
responsible for more than 6 million students in nearly 10,000
schools.

SAN FRANCISCO With a busy
Fourth of July week looming, California
parks ofcials announced Thursday that
65 of the 70 state parks once slated to
close Sunday due to budget cuts will
remain open.
The move came after the governor
signed a bill allocating new funds for the
beleaguered parks system, and the state
said it had reached agreements with non-
prots, local governments and others
regarding 40 of the parks.
Deals with other groups were in the
works for 25 more, which will stay open
as the agreements are finalized, the
California Department of Parks and
Recreation said.
The state had issued a list of 70 parks
nearly a quarter of its entire system
that it intended to close in an effort to
cut $22 million from the parks budget.
The cuts came as California struggles to
bridge a $15.7 billion decit.
Ruth Coleman, director of the state
parks system, said the parks nancial
crisis has been difcult, but she was
buoyed by the response from people
who are passionate about the sites.
We have re-energized the people who
love parks, and they are stepping up and
contributing to parks in all sorts of
ways, Coleman said during a confer-
ence call with reporters.
Thursdays announcement was made
after Gov. Jerry Brown partially vetoed a
state parks funding bill, allocating $10
million in new funds rather than the $41
million that had been approved by the
Legislature.
Sixty-five state parks to stay open
Only ve of the 70 California parks on
the states closure list are expected to
be shuttered or see reduced services
July 1 after the governor signed a bill
allocating new funds for the
beleaguered parks system.
The new funds and the signing of
agreements with nonprots, local
governments and others to operate 40
of the doomed parks will keep many of
them operating at least through the next
year. Twenty-ve other parks are close
to signing similar operating agreements
and will stay open past the deadline.
The five parks still
scheduled for closure:
Benicia State Recreation Area
Benicia
California State Mining & Mineral
Museum - Mariposa
Gray Whale Cove State Beach
Pacica
Zmudowski State Beach Moss
Landing
Providence Mountains State
Recreation Area San Bernardino
Parks still closing
By Don Thompson
SACRAMENTO California voters
will be bombarded with major questions
on the November ballot about raising their
taxes, ending executions and limiting life-
time sentences for career criminals.
The marquee initiatives that qualied
for the ballot by Thursdays deadline are
competing tax measures, with one pro-
moted by Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown
to avoid more deep state spending cuts
and another by wealthy Los Angeles civil
rights attorney Molly Munger to boost
education.
Labor unions will wage a high-stakes
ght over political contributions, while
other measures include a challenge to new
political boundaries drawn for state
Senate districts, tougher penalties for
human sex trafcking, and regulations

Obituaries
By John Rogers
LOS ANGELES California was
among the nations rst states to boldly
endorse President Obamas federal
health care law after it was adopted two
years ago. On Thursday, state ofcials
were among those breathing the loudest
sighs of relief when the Supreme Court
declined to strike it down.
The decision, health and insurance
officials say, perfectly positions
California to add some 6 million resi-
dents to the ranks of the insured by the
2014 deadline set by the federal
Affordable Care Act. And while there
are some lingering questions about how
to nd and pay doctors to treat all of
those people, ofcials expressed con-
dence that those details will be worked
out in part with billions of dollars in fed-
eral money.
The passage of the Affordable Care
Act is one of the most signicant leg-
islative achievements of the last 40
years, state Insurance Commissioner
Dave Jones said.
Had the courts 5-4 decision gone the
other way, Jones said, provisions that
California had already enacted could have
been wiped out, including one allowing
people to keep their children on their
insurance policies until age 26. Also elim-
inated could have been a measure pro-
hibiting insurers from capping the amount
of money they must pay for medical treat-
ment during a persons lifetime.
Officials say bring on health insurance reform
By David Espo
WASHINGTON The Supreme
Courts 5-4 decision upholding the
nations health care law marks an enor-
mous political victory for President
Barack Obama in the heat of a re-elec-
tion campaign, and afrmation as well
for the Democrats decades-long drive
to extend coverage to millions of
Americans who now go without.
Yet if the sweeping changes mandated
by the law will go forward, so, too, the
political controversy. Presidential chal-
lenger Mitt Romney and Republicans
seeking control of Congress will see to
that, seizing on Chief Justice John
Roberts ruling that the law levies a new
tax on anyone refusing to purchase cov-
erage.
The decision was rich in irony as well
as in history.
It was the second time in four days
a ruling Monday threw out much of an
Arizona state law on immigration
that a Roberts-led majority upheld the
Obama administrations position on a
noisy, contentious issue that has roiled
the nations politics for years.
On this case, at least, Roberts seemed
to be ruling through gritted teeth when
he upheld the requirement that all
Americans purchase health care.
We do not consider whether the
(law) embodies sound policies, he
wrote of the health care legislation that
Republicans have vowed to erase. That
judgment is entrusted to the Nations
elected leaders.
That was a reference to Obama and
the lawmakers of both parties in
Congress, whose disagreement is so
deep that nary a Republican voted for
the legislation when it slogged to pas-
sage in 2010. The polling then as
now makes the law out to be a polit-
ical negative, and Obama acknowledged
as much in understated remarks at the
White House.
It should be pretty clear by now that
I didnt do this because it was good pol-
itics, he said. I did it because I
believed it was good for the country. I
did it because I believed it was good for
the American people.
Health ruling wont stop arguments
By Ben Feller
WASHINGTON Battling ercely
for the White House, President Barack
Obama and Republican rival Mitt
Romney implored voters to see the
Supreme Courts health care ruling in
different ways Thursday, with Obama
appealing for people to move on with
him and his challenger promising to rip
up the law.
Todays decision was a victory for
people all over this country whose
lives will be more secure, Obama
declared after a divided high court
upheld the law, including a require-
ment that people carry health insur-
ance. Its time for us to move for-
ward.
Romney did just the opposite, pin-
ning the courts decision to the election
and asking voters to render their own
ruling.
If we want to
get rid of
Obamacare, he
said, were going
to have replace
President Obama.
Democrats and
Republicans imme-
diately launched
fundraising appeals
off the courts deci-
sion, underscoring
the campaign rami-
cations of a judi-
cial decision that is
supposed to be
devoid of politics.
It was conservative
Chief Justice John
Roberts who cast
the defining vote,
upending the tradi-
tional lines of political attack and sur-
prising many in the White House.

WASHINGTON Attorney
General Eric Holder on Thursday
became the rst Cabinet member held
in contempt of Congress, a rebuke
pushed by Republicans seeking to
unearth the facts behind a bungled
gun-tracking operation and dismissed
by most Democrats as a political
stunt.
The vote was 255-67, with more
than 100 Democrats boycotting.
African-American lawmakers led
the walkout as members led up the
aisle and out of the chamber to protest
the action against Holder, who is the
nations rst black attorney general.
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of
California joined the boycott, saying
Republicans had gone over the
edge in their partisanship.
Seventeen Democrats voted with
Republicans in favor of the contempt
vote, while two Republicans Reps.
Scott Rigell of Virginia and Steven
LaTourette of Ohio joined other
Democrats in voting against it.
The National Rie Association
pressed hard for the contempt resolu-
tion, leaning on members of both par-
ties who want to stay in the NRAs
good graces.

WASHINGTON The Supreme
Court on Thursday struck down a
federal law making it a crime to lie
about receiving the Medal of Honor
and other prized military awards,
with justices branding the false
claim contemptible but nonethe-
less protected by the First
Amendment.
The court voted 6-3 in favor of
Xavier Alvarez, a former local elect-
ed ofcial in California who falsely
said he was a decorated war veteran
and had pleaded guilty to violating
the 2006 law, known as the Stolen
Valor Act. The law, enacted when
the U.S. was at war in Afghanistan
and Iraq, was aimed at people mak-
ing phony claims of heroism in bat-
tle.
The ruling, written by Justice
Anthony Kennedy, ordered that the
conviction be thrown out.
Though few might nd respon-
dents statements anything but con-
temptible, his right to make those
statements is protected by the
Constitutions guarantee of freedom
of speech and expression. The
Stolen Valor Act infringes upon
speech protected by the First
Amendment, Kennedy said.
The high court has in recent years
rejected limits on speech. The jus-
tices struck down a federal ban on
videos showing graphic violence
against animals and rejected a state
law intended to keep violent video
games away from children.

Governor speeds up Cal
Grant cuts for students
SACRAMENTO Starting this
fall, college students will be getting
less nancial aid from California.
Gov. Jerry Brown announced
Thursday that he had vetoed $195
million in overall spending approved
by the Legislature a move that
will save more than $22 million by
speeding up reductions to the Cal
Grants program for college students.
The Legislature had approved a 6
percent cut starting in the fall of
2013, but the governor cited the
states nancial problems for mov-
ing up 5 percent of the cut to the
2012-13 academic year.

WASHINGTON Republican
leaders pushed a sweeping high-
ways-student loans package sal-
vaging millions of construction
jobs and maintaining low interest
rates on millions of new college
loans toward a House vote Friday
even as conservative groups
mounted a last-minute and likely
futile campaign against it.
Favorable action by the Senate
on what would be the only big jobs
measure Congress has enacted this
year was assured. Leaders said
they hoped get it done Thursday
night, but then ran into procedural
hurdles that pushed back a vote
until Friday. Lawmakers in both
parties hoped to get an early start
bragging about a rare accomplish-
ment four months before the elec-
tion.
The conservative Heritage
Action for America and the anti-
tax Club for Growth urged a no
vote on the bill in emails Thursday
to lawmakers, warning that it will
be counted as a key vote on their
legislative scorecards.

BEIRUT Turkey deployed
anti-aircraft guns, rocket launchers
and other weapons along its border
with Syria on Thursday, a military
buildup that came as world powers
showed new urgency to resolve the
crisis before it ignites the region.
A bomb exploded in central
Damascus near a busy market and
the countrys main justice complex,
wounding at least three people,
damaging cars in a parking lot and
sending a black cloud rising above
the Syrian capital. It was not clear
who was behind the bombing.
Much of the violence that has
gripped Syria since the uprising
began in March 2011 has been sanc-
tioned by the government of
President Bashar Assad to crush dis-
sent. Activists say more than 14,000
people have been killed.
But rebel ghters are launching
increasingly deadly attacks on
regime targets, and several massive
suicide attacks this year suggest al-
Qaida or other extremists are join-
ing the fray.
Assad told Iranian state TV
Thursday that his country still sup-
ports him, and he warned that any
intervention in Syria will cause a
domino effect in the region. He
has given similar warnings before,
saying the entire Middle East will
go up in ames if others meddle in
his country.
Turkey, a former ally of Syria, has
become one of the strongest critics
of the Assad regime, and tensions
between the two countries spiked
following the downing of a Turkish
military plane last week.
A small convoy of Turkish mili-
tary trucks towing anti-aircraft guns
entered a military outpost in the bor-
der village of Guvecci, which faces
a Syrian military outpost, according
to TRT television video.
Several anti-aircraft guns also
have been deployed elsewhere along
the border. Some trucks were seen
carrying self-propelled multiple
rocket launchers, the video showed.

BRUSSELS The leaders of
the 17 countries that use the euro
scrambled early Friday to consider
emergency measures to lower the
borrowing costs of Italy and Spain.
The success of a summit meant to
reassure markets hung in the bal-
ance.
A modest agreement by the 27
leaders of the European Union to
spend (euro) 120 billion ($149 bil-
lion) to stimulate economic growth
was thrown into ux after Italy and
Spain said they would block it
unless it was paired with immediate
action to help lower the interest
rates on their government bonds.
We see it as a package, said an
Italian ofcial, though only on con-
dition of anonymity because the
closed-door talks are ongoing.
In a further setback to European
leaders hopes of projecting
progress, discussions on longer-
term xes to the continents nan-
cial crisis were postponed until
October, French President Francois
Hollande said. Some proposals on
the table include: centralized bank-
ing regulation, Europe-wide deposit
insurance and handing the EU more
authority over individual countries
taxing and spending plans.
Experts say the $149 billion in
stimulus spending the leaders
agreed to is too small to have much
of an impact in an economic region
as large as Europe.
They underperformed my low
expectations, said Megan Greene,
Director of European economies at
Roubini Global Economics. She
said the stimulus package wont
create growth.
More important to many
observers is nding immediate ways
to address the high borrowing costs
currently faced by Italy and Spain.
Economists say Spain can only pay
the current high rates at 7 percent
for 10-year money for a few more
months. After that, it is likely to ask
for a eurozone bailout to nance its
government debts. That rescue
money could range in the hundreds
of billions of euros (dollars).
To lower those borrowing rates,
European leaders need to convince
investors that Spain and Italy will be
able to keep repaying their debts.
Sharp divisions remain over such
measures to boost market confi-
dence, however. They range from
allowing the eurozone bailout fund
to buy the bonds of the governments
of Italy and Spain to bolder, longer-
term moves like pooling govern-
ment debt.
The leaders of Italy, France and
Spain have been pressing Germany
to agree to some form of these con-
dence-boosting measures.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald
N
o one at any level is claiming that
the federal governments
Operation Fast and Furious gun-
running investigation was anything but
botched. Yet despite the disappearance of
hundreds of guns and the killing of a federal
agent, Washington is giving the American
public another political showdown rather
than answers.
Congress is rightly asking questions;
Attorney General Eric Holder wont hand
over all the documents Congress wants;
President Barack Obama claims executive
privilege; the House is poised to cite Holder
for contempt. It neednt have come to this.
Just tell us what happened.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives began Fast and Furious in
2009. The plan was aimed at Mexican drug
cartels and the smugglers supplying them
with weapons. Straw buyers were allowed
to purchase guns in Arizona, and the ATF
was going to follow the weapons into the
hands of cartel thugs and leaders.
The plan went horribly wrong. The ATF
lost track of hundreds of those guns. Many
have been recovered at crime scenes in
Mexico. On Dec. 14, 2010, in the Arizona
desert just north of the border, U.S. Border
Patrol agent Brian Terry was gunned down.
Two guns from the operation were found
nearby.
Americans deserve to know all the facts.
But neither the ATF nor its parent Justice
Department has been fully forthcoming.
At this point, it appears theres no evidence
that the initial denial was anything but a
bureaucratic mistake. Holder has testied
several times and ordered an investigation by
his agencys inspector general. The depart-
ment turned over 7,600 of the 140,000 docu-
ments congressional investigators seek.
Mistakes obviously were made. Common
sense was lacking. The truth has taken too
long to come out. Serious questions remain
unanswered, and Congress is right to ask.
Just tell us what happened.
Obama and immigration
Editor,
President Barack Obamas idea regarding
changing the current illegal immigration laws
and process has turned my opinion about him
more than 300 degrees, which is disappoint-
ing! I have always been a liberal thinker vot-
ing Democratic, and now this issue is chang-
ing me becoming more conservative every
day.
Why is this country having tremendous
decits? Overpopulation. Much of our debt is
created from trying to take care of the legal
citizens. Now, we are being told more funds
are going out to assist the illegal population
that are not required to learn the English lan-
guage, American systems, obtain jobs prop-
erly so they pay necessary taxes, etc. What
happened to our citizenship process? If
someone wants to become a citizen, ne, do
it properly. Is that not a reason why we
developed immigration laws and procedures?
These illegal immigrants are abusing and
stealing from the federal system by obtain-
ing all the free resources they can obtain.
This will only continue to increase our debt,
create more cutbacks and prevent the legal
citizens from obtaining help when needed.
Sound and fervent border control is needed
always. Our government needs to tighten the
ropes, not relax them.

Preserving the status quo
Editor,
The move by the San Mateo County Board
of Supervisors to have the question decided
by referendum is a clever ploy to deect the
lawsuit that had been led against the county
for its violation of the California Voting
Rights Act (Voters to decide how supervi-
sors will be elected by Michelle Durand in
the June 27 edition of the Daily Journal).
As witnessed by Ms. Durands insightful
observations: The decision comes after a
civil rights lawsuit accusing at-large elections
of discriminating against minorities although
there was little talk at yesterdays board
meeting about litigation. And, In contrast
to the majority of supervisors supporting the
status quo, public speakers at yesterdays
hearing favored a change or, at the very least,
asking the voters to decide.
I would bet that the boards next move
would be to ask the court for another post-
ponement of the trial scheduled for Aug. 20,
in hopes of rendering the lawsuit moot after
the November elections. That is my answer
to Ms. Durands musings, What remains to
be seen now is how if at all the boards
decision yesterday inuences the litigation
currently scheduled for trial in August
Just looking at the racial composition of
the board, it does not take a rocket scientist
to gure correctly that the referendum in
November would result in a win for county-
wide elections. Power and money is concen-
trated in the members of the Board of
Supervisors who would, of course, go all out
in campaigning against district-wide elec-
tions to preserve the status quo.

Thats politics for you
Editor,
Once again, Scott Abramson has shown his
ability to complain about the slow service in
a self-service gas station (in other words, he
has nothing else to complain about) when he
complains about President Obama in his let-
ter titled Executive privilege in the June
23-24 weekend edition of the Daily Journal.
Apparently, Mr. Abramson has not taken
the time to investigate the whole situation
with Operation Fast and Furious.
It is quite obvious that Attorney General
Holder cant release certain information
about the operation for a number of reasons.
These reasons include exposing any mis-
takes, exposing any undercover agents,
exposing any security leaks, exposing any
details for a new or current undercover
operation and the undercover agents cur-
rently involved, exposing details that will tip
off the bad guys, to name a few.
Apparently, Mr. Abramson does not bother
to look at the big picture and all the circum-
stances and peoples lives involved before he
blames and accuses President Obama of any
wrong doing. Thats politics for you.
Michael R. Oberg
San Mateo
Response to Unjust laws
Editor,
I was surprised to open the June 23-24
weekend edition of the Daily Journal to see
the letter to the editor Unjust laws by Ross
Foti. In the letter, or lecture on morality, Foti
parrots the Catholic establishments bullying
of the bishops arrogant redenition of free-
dom of religion in their Fortnight For
Freedom campaign. I am sure we all would
be better served if Mr. Foti and his bishops
could embrace our Constitutions provisions
for freedom of religion, which have served us
well for over 200 years. Note that the provi-
sions for freedom of religion have made it
possible for the Catholic Church to exist in
this country, rather than incite people to vio-
late federal law.
Mr. Foti has a well known concern and
point of view on fetuses. He naturally fol-
lows the Churchs dogma on the subject. I do
not recall ever seeing that he has shown simi-
lar concern for children and the churchs
moral failures with regards to pedophile
priests abusing children worldwide, for at
least two centuries. Neither Mr. Foti nor his
church are entitled to lecture anyone on the
subject of morality.
And, by the way Mr. Foti, there is a differ-
ence between the civil rights efforts of Dr.
King and the United States Conference of
Catholic Bishops efforts to deceive the pub-
lic with a phony denition of religious free-
dom, the latter of which is designed solely to
serve its own dogmatic interests.

The return
of Wine Walk
A
fter a one-year hiatus and a little bit
of, ahem, controversy, the Wine
Walk is returning to downtown San
Mateo. The 15-year annual event normally
takes place in June, but this year is slated for
late September.
Last year, the
event was can-
celed after the
Downtown San
Mateo
Association
executive direc-
tor couldnt get
the necessary
sponsorships,
winery partici-
pation and per-
mits while
focusing on
establishing a
property-based Business Improvement
District with an aim to raise about $700,000
a year for various improvements. The latter
effort also met with little success and the
executive director left in October. Merchants
and city ofcials expressed disappointment
that the Wine Walk was canceled and a new
effort was taken up to bring it back this year
albeit in a slightly different form.
New DSMA Executive Director Jessica
Evans, an energetic and bright woman who
arrived from the San Bruno Chamber of
Commerce June 4, is already working on the
September event which will have a few
changes. Preliminary plans include having
several areas of downtown transformed into a
French Quarter, an Italian Quarter and a
Latin Quarter, with food and wine to taste.
Merchants will no longer serve wine in their
shops, instead, there will be specic areas in
which to imbibe and enjoy.
But its all still a work in progress, accord-
ing to Evans, who also recently launched the
seasons rst food truck/farmers market
event at the downtown train station this past
Monday. It was sort of a soft opening and
Evans said she is looking forward to it evolv-
ing with the inclusion of farmers selling a
variety of produce and pop-up booths for
local restaurants to sell specialty items.
The Downtown San Mateo Association is a
group of downtown business owners who
work with a volunteer board to nd ways to
promote downtown, organize events and oth-
erwise maintain a good rep for the citys
retail core. Downtown San Mateo may not be
perfect, but its an interesting place with a lot
of unique features. Promoting it means high-
lighting those unique features.
Evans has many other ideas she will be
bouncing off her members and other interest-
ed parties before rolling them out when the
time is right. And it seems the effort for the
improvement district is denitely on the back
burner for now. Thats OK, since there is
plenty on Evans plate right now. Lets wish
her some luck.

Downtown Redwood Citys rst Chavez
Carne Asada Festival sure seemed popular
this past Sunday. City ofcials reported more
than 10,000 people attended the event, which
may have overwhelmed event organizers.
After the festival, trash could be seen
throughout Courthouse Square and one read-
er said it looked like a dump. Redwood
City spokesman Malcolm Smith said city
staff went out after the event and cleaned
everything up by the end of the night, the
citys power wash contractor came out in the
evening and another crew nished cleanup
the next morning. The city will be reim-
bursed for the cleanup and plan on having a
cleaning crew on site throughout the day and
to the end of the event in the future.
We learned a good lesson from this event
and will be better prepared next time, said
Smith.

NEW YORK When the stock mar-
ket began tumbling Thursday, many
people assumed the selloff had some-
thing to do with the Supreme Court rul-
ing to uphold President Barack Obamas
health care law. But for a lot of
investors, it was the same old concerns
about Europe, along with a few new
worries.
The market fell sharply in early trad-
ing, before the high courts announce-
ment, as investors questioned whether a
European Union meeting in Brussels
would yield the same results as many
meetings before it vague pledges,
rather than concrete plans for what to do
with struggling countries like Greece
and Spain.
Bank stocks also declined, in part
because of a report that a trading loss at
JPMorgan Chase rst estimated at $2
billion could be as much as $9 billion.
U.S. stocks still closed lower for the
day, but they bounced back in the last
half-hour of trading. The Dow Jones
industrial average closed down nearly
25 points, after falling as much as 177.
There were varying explanations for
the late comeback, but most seemed to
focus on Europe, including rumors that
the European Central Bank would cut
interest rates and that EU leaders might
actually emerge from this weeks meet-
ings with a plan. Late Thursday, a top
EU ofcial said leaders had agreed to
devote $149 billion to immediate
growth measures.
Nicholas Colas, ConvergEx Group
chief market strategist, said blaming the
health care ruling for the markets loss-
es was a convenient excuse.
No doubt that the courts decision
was disappointing, he said, but I real-
ly think the indecisiveness of European
policy makers at the nth summit on the
same topic is the cause of the decline.
Other traders had similarly low expec-
tations.
The rst one thousand summits, I
was pretty excited, deadpanned Jeff
Sica, president and chief investment
ofcer of SICA Wealth Management in
Morristown, N.J.
In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrial
average was down about 100 points
around 10 a.m., just before the Supreme
Court ruled. Then it fell more steeply
but recovered most of those losses, end-
ing down 24.75 points at 12,602.26.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
dropped 2.81 points to end at 1,329.04
and the Nasdaq composite fell 25.83
points to 2,849.49. Both indexes
bounced back from bigger losses.

FRANKFURT, Germany For
Germany the biggest of the 17 coun-
tries that use the euro the crisis grip-
ping Europe can feel like someone elses
problem. Its economy is growing.
Unemployment is low. And its govern-
ment can borrow at lower interest rates
than any other country in the euro
alliance.
That helps explain why Chancellor
Angela Merkel seems to favor a slower
approach to the nancial crisis than
other leaders do especially if a solu-
tion would impose a heavy burden on
Germans.
But now, Germany itself is at risk of a
slowdown, which would make it even
harder to end Europes crisis. Many ana-
lysts say a downturn would hit home to
Germans how much they depend on the
health of other European economies. If
so, they could become more willing to
put money at risk to support their weak-
er neighbors.
Those issues are helping drive discus-
sions that began Thursday at a European
Union summit in Brussels. The summit
is intended to reach agreements on how
to shore up Europes economies and
save the euro alliance. Olli Rehn, the
European commissioner for economic
affairs, said Thursday he expects an
agreement on steps to spur growth and
reduce Spains and Italys unsustainably
high borrowing costs.
Concerns about Germanys economy
grew last week with a report that
German business optimism fell in June.
Weak German economy a threat to Europe
Tepid economic growth
weighs on job market
By Christopher S. Rugaber and Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON The U.S. economy is growing too slow-
ly to pull the job market out of a slump, according to the latest
data that suggest June has been another weak month for hiring.
Applications for unemployment benets stayed above a level
last week that is generally considered too high to lower the
unemployment rate. And the annual growth rate for the U.S.
economy in the January-March quarter was unchanged at a
tepid 1.9 percent.
Two government reports released Thursday added to the pic-
ture of an economy that is faltering for the third straight year
after a promising start. Job growth has tumbled, consumers are
less condent and Europes nancial crisis has dampened
demand for U.S. exports.
Most economists dont see growth accelerating much from
the rst-quarter pace, although some are hopeful that lower gas
prices could help lift consumer spending over the summer.
Google releases Chrome browser for iPhone, iPad
SAN FRANCISCO Googles Chrome browser can now
be used to surf the Web on the iPhone and iPad.
The Chrome application released Thursday is the latest vol-
ley in the escalating rivalry between Google Inc. and Apple
Inc., which makes those two popular mobile devices. The
announcement highlighted the second day of Google I/O, an
annual conference that the company hosts in San Francisco for
computer programmers around the world.
Googles attempt to supplant Apples own Safari browser
comes a day after it unveiled plans to sell a low-priced tablet
computer to compete against the iPad and Amazon.com Inc.s
Kindle Fire.

HUGE UPSET: 11-TIME MAJOR WINNER RAFAEL NADAL STUNNED AT WIMBLEDON BY 1OOTH-RANKED PLAYER>>> PAGE 13
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Standing 6-9, Mario Flaherty is used to
questions about his height. Inevitably, the
question is asked: do you play professional
basketball?
The former Mills High and Skyline College
standout can now say: yes. Yes I do play pro-
fessional basketball.
Flaherty, who graduated
from Houston Baptist
University in the spring of
2011 following a two-year
stint at Skyline, hooked up
briey with a professional
team in New Zealand and
had a sniff with an NBA
Developmental League
team before signing to
play for the Durham Wildcats in the British
Basketball League.
Its nice to say (I play pro basketball),
Flaherty said. Ive always wanted to play at
the next level (professionally), just to say Im
a pro basketball player. I accomplished a lot in
something a lot of people didnt give me cred-
it to do.
In 32 games with Durham, Flaherty aver-
aged 30 minutes and 13.7 points per game
while pulling down almost eight rebounds.
The Wildcats, in their inaugural season, did
not have a lot of success, nishing with a 3-27
record. But Flaherty was three times named to
the weekly top-performers list and was also
voted as the teams fan favorite.
Its been a long journey for Flaherty, who

The MenloPoloClub hosts the Mack and Madelyn Jason Invitational Sunday as a way to honor former club president Mack Jason.
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As mother-daughter combo Lyn Jason Cobb
and Madelyn Cobb gallop through 10 acres of
polo eld Sunday, theyll proudly continue a
Menlo legacy that began back in 1923.
Polo has such a long history and the new
players need to know about the history, about
the players that have played, Lyn Cobb said.
Its a gentlemans game, and they need to
know its not about them, its about the long
history of polo.
An appreciation of the history will be the
theme as, for the rst time ever, the Menlo
Polo Club will host the Mack and Madelyn
Jason Invitational a tournament to com-
memorate Lyn Cobbs parents and former club
president Mack Jason.
Its a long history of polo in the family and
as one of the club members told me, I just
love basking in the glow of the Jason family
because its just been so many years of polo,
Lyn Cobb said. My father created such a
wonderful tradition of polo at the club. A lot of
the new members didnt know him when he
played or of the many polo events my mother
put together that I was a part of. Its really fun
carrying on the tradition.
Its a tradition that started back in 1923
when Lyn Cobbs grandfather, William
Gilmore, started the club. After a hiatus during
the war, Mack and Madelyn Jason re-ener-
gized the club and watched it grow at the helm
for over 40 years both have since died. But
its the efforts of Lyn Cobb that keep the tradi-
tion alive today.

OAKLAND Golden State Warriors
owner Joe Lacob and new general manager
Bob Myers had to take a red-eye ight to New
York earlier this week just to get a look at
Harrison Barnes before the NBA draft
because his agent had a scheduling conict.
Barnes is coming to the Bay Area now.
The Warriors selected
the North Carolina small
forward with the No. 7
overall pick Thursday
night, giving the franchise
a potent player at a posi-
tion that desperately needs
depth. Myers said as soon
as Portland passed on
Barnes at six, My phone
almost blew up with people wanting this pick
and wanting this player.
Were thrilled, Myers said. He is one of
the best people in this draft and one of the best
players.
Size seemed to matter under the new Myers
regime.
The Warriors also took Vanderbilt center
Festus Ezeli with the 30th and nal pick of the
rst round, then grabbed Michigan State for-
ward Draymond Green 35th and Ognjen
Kuzmic of Bosnia 52nd overall.
But Barnes is expected to give a more
immediate boost.
The 6-foot-8 sophomore, still only 20 years
old, led the Tar Heels with 17.1 points per
game and also grabbed 5.2 rebounds.

SAN JOSE The buzz emanating from
San Jose, more specically the HP Pavilion, is
the swirl of countless rumors and debates
between United States gymnastics fans.
With the U.S. Olympic Trials already in full
swing and the womens program beginning
today, the battle for London (between athletes
and fans) has begun.
The issue: 15 world-class women gymnasts
and only ve U.S. leotards to go around. Now
more than ever before, the debate over who the
U.S. should send to London as opposed to who
they need to send in order to capture their rst
team gold medal since 1996 is at a fervor.
The only thing certain before the ve-women
team is announced Sunday is that the amount
of depth the U.S. has will make this a very
interesting and highly scrutinized choice for
the selection committee. Following Sundays
competition, only the top nisher is guaranteed
a spot. From there, the other four are selected
based on which ve-star combination feels
golden. The athletes appear to be taking the
pressure in stride.
In the back of my mind, I want to come out
on top and I want to win, said reigning nation-
al champion and Olympic-team favorite Jordyn
Wieber. I cant really focus [on winning] I
have to focus on doing strong routines and
whatever the outcome is,
thats what is. Whoever
ends up on that team is
going to do really well in
London.
Wieber appears to be a
consensus pick among the
experts and fans, following
her domination of the sport
recently. She was part of
the gold medal World
Championship team last year. In fact, six of
those women who picked up gold in 2011 are
at the trials. That includes a young Gabby
Douglas, whos high-ying routines have made
her a fan favorite.
Its a dream come true, Douglas said. Its
just so awesome. Im just happy to be compet-
ing at the Olympics Trials. I just set [the pres-
sure] off to the side and just do my own thing
and focus on the training. One step at a time,
one day at a time. I try not let that get to me too
much.
The buzz around Douglas revolved around
her explosiveness. But her youth has come into
question shes only 16 years old. Kyla Ross
is another young gun hoping to nd a way on
the plane ride to London.
Coming into a meet like this, you denitely
want to keep training like you have all year
long, Ross said. You denitely want to push
yourself harder but you want to focus on all the
little details, be clean and consistent on all the
events.
If you favor youth and explosiveness,
Douglas and Ross along with McKayla
Maroney, Sabrina Vega are the ones to
watch. Then there are rock solid gymnasts like
Aly Raisman who could make a major impact
on the 2012 team based solely on her consis-
tency.
Im trying right now not to think about what
the team will be like because I want to take it as
another competition, relax and just enjoy this
whole experience because Ive working so
hard, Raisman said. It would mean so much
to make this team but also Im also thinking
about this team being announced on Sunday
and its so crazy and surreal.
And then theres the experience factor. Of the
15 female gymnasts in San Jose this weekend,
three were part of the silver medal team at the
2008 games in Beijing. When it comes to the
worlds biggest stage, there are those who
believe that having gymnasts who have been
there and can handle the pressure is key to the
teams success.
You want a leader on that team, said 2008
medalist Bridget Sloan, who jokingly added
that at 20 years old, shes one of the veterans in
San Jose. But at the time, I know the selection
committee will make the right decision. I kind
of put my life in their hands a few times for the
world team so I know what they go through to
make sure that Team USA is at its absolute
best.
Sloan said that in 2008, the leadership of
Alicia Sacramone was vital.
Im pretty sure our team would have fallen
apart a few times, just because she has a way of
bringing everyone together, she said. No mat-
ter the circumstance, Alicia has a way of get-
ting the team back to it being Team USA.
Sacramone is in San Jose this weekend vying
for one of the London spots. And the more you
talk to U.S. National Team Coordinator Mrta
Krolyi (the woman with the ve golden tick-
ets) the more you get the feeling that leadership
and a cool face in pressure situations will be
essential to her selections.
I think were all very anxious and looking
forward to this, Krolyi said. Feeling a little
bit stressed is normal and everyone should be
because if you dont feel that it means you
dont really care about the outcome. But the
way that you handle the stress, it makes the dif-
ference between a good gymnast and a less
good gymnast and the same about the leaders.
The 2012 Olympics trials began Thursday
with the mens preliminaries. After Day 1,
Danell Leyva leads, followed by John Orozco
and Sam Mikulak.
Both ve-member teams will be announced
on Sunday following the womens nal.

ARLINGTON, Texas Leadoff man Ian
Kinsler got four hits, scored three runs and stole
two bases Thursday night, sending the Texas
Rangers past the Oakland Athletics 7-6 for their
11th win in 13 games.
Josh Hamilton, Adrian Beltre and David
Murphy each drove in two runs for Texas in a
game that lasted 3 hours, 54 minutes, the
Rangers longest nine-inning game of the sea-
son.
Scott Feldman (2-6), who gave up eight
earned runs in 1 2-3 innings when he last faced
Oakland on June 4, won despite allowing nine
hits in ve innings. Joe Nathan earned his 18th
save of the year.
Tyson Ross (2-8) was tagged for ve runs and
eight hits in four innings.
Josh Reddick hit his 18th home run for
Oakland. Derek Norris and Cliff Pennington,
the eighth- and ninth-place hitters in the As line-
up, connected for consecutive homers in the
third.
The Rangers drew four walks and hit three
singles during a four-run fth that put them
ahead 6-4.
Leonys Martin drew a leadoff walk and
scored on a single by Elvis Andrus. Reliever Jim
Miller walked Josh Hamilton to load the bases,
then walked Adrian Beltre to make it 4-all. With
two outs, David Murphy hit a two-run single.
In the sixth, Andrus walked, stole second and
later scored on a sacrice y by Beltre for a 7-4
lead.
Oakland came back in the seventh with an
RBI single by Yoenis Cespedes and a sacrice
y by Seth Smith. Cespedes nished with three
hits and drove in two runs.
Norris homer was his second in the majors.
Pennington was 2 for 28 before he homered.
NOTES: Rangers starter Derek Holland, on
the 15-day disabled list with left elbow fatigue,
said he felt good a day after his rst rehabilita-
tion start in Triple-A Round Rock. Holland
threw 38 pitches in three innings. The Rangers
plan two more rehab starts for him, manager
Ron Washington said. ... Washington still has
not determined whether his starting pitcher
Saturday against Oakland will be rookie Justin
Grimm or Martin Perez, who made his MLB
debut with a two-out relief stint Wednesday
against Detroit. ... The Rangers matched their
season-high with four steals in the game. ...
After Oakland beat Seattle 2-1 Wednesday with
two solo home runs, the As got their rst three
runs on solo homers.

In the 20th minute, Balotelli had no trouble
getting past Holger Badstuber to head in a pin-
point cross from Antonio Cassano. Then in the
36th, Balotelli received the ball behind the
defense and blasted a long shot into the top right
corner.
With three goals, Balotelli is tied for the tour-
nament lead. After the match, Italy coach Cesare
Prandelli was asked if this was the best match of
Balotellis career.
Balotellis career has just started, Prandelli
said.
Germanys winless streak against Italy in
major tournaments reached eight matches. The
Germans failed to trouble Italy for much of the
match, although Mesut Oezil scored a consola-
tion penalty in injury time after Federico
Balzaretti was whistled for a handball.
Germany entered the game on a world-record
15-match winning streak in competitive matches.
Its a very bitter defeat, Germany captain
Philipp Lahm said. We tried everything in the
second half but our goal came too late. We have
so much potential in our team but if we cannot
give the right performance at the right time or are
not clever enough, then we lose such a game.
The nal in Kiev, Ukraine, will be a rematch of
Italy and Spains 1-1 draw that opened Group C.
We showed were on Spains level and thats
where we started this run, Italy midelder
Claudio Marchisio said. Its no longer a ques-
tion of fear. Now weve got to pull out everything
we still have inside ourselves.
While Italy has won four World Cups, its only
European Championship title came in 1968. As
they did in winning the 1982 and 2006 World
Cups, the Azzurri have managed to maintain
their focus despite a match-xing and betting
scandal at home.
All I can say is that when you talk about Italy,
everyone needs to be careful, Prandelli said.
We played an extraordinary match. We dis-
played a model of fair play and attachment to this
shirt.
his high school in Ames, Iowa, Barnes has
been signing autographs since the ninth grade.
Now he hopes all that experience with
expectations serves him well in the NBA.
It helped me a great deal in terms of the
spotlight, Barnes said. It almost kind of
groomed me in a way growing up in the
media.
While he started slow at North Carolina,
Barnes rallied to become the Atlantic Coast
Conferences Rookie of the Year in 2011.
Barnes shot 35.8 percent from 3-point range
as a sophomore and earned First-Team All-
ACC honors. He scored at least 20 points 13
times and in double gures in 64 of 75 college
games.
We are very excited about getting a quality
young man, a class individual and a guy who
works extremely hard, Golden State Warriors
coach Mark Jackson said in a statement. He
comes from a great program and was a star in
high school, also in college. We were thrilled
he was still sitting on the board.
There could be a spot for Barnes in Golden
States rotation right away.
The Warriors nished 23-43 last season after
injuries and trades overwhelmed the roster.
The only starter whose future is uncertain is
small forward Dorell Wright, who is heading
into the nal year of his contract and has strug-
gled in Jacksons system.
Drafting Barnes also was a turnaround from
last season when the Warriors took Klay
Thompson with the 11th overall pick, even
though the team already had Ellis in the back-
court. Thompson, the former Washington State
shooting guard, is expected to start next season
after a standout rookie campaign.
Size was a theme for Golden State all night.
The 6-foot-11, 255-pound Ezeli set
Vanderbilts record with 204 career blocked
shots, breaking the mark of 157 set by Will
Perdue. The Nigerian native moved to the
United States in 2004 only a 90-minute
drive northeast in Sacramento and couldnt
be more thrilled to come back to California.
I will run through a wall, Ezeli said in his
excitement.
The 6-foot-7, 230-pound Green gives
Golden State another layer of toughness that
the franchise also wanted to add. The Big Ten
Player of the Year and rst-team All-American
nished with the most rebounds (1,096) and
second-most blocks (117) in Spartans history.

WARRIORS
By Howard Fendrich
WIMBLEDON, England Rafael Nadal
bumped into his unknown and unheralded
opponent as they headed to a break between
games. Perhaps it was incidental contact.
At the previous changeover, Nadal stood
and barked at the chair umpire, complaining
about being distracted by 100th-ranked Lukas
Rosol while serving. Later, Nadal shook his
head and frowned when a Wimbledon ofcial
explained that, with light fading and the sec-
ond-round match heading to a fth set, theyd
need a 45-minute break to close the
retractable roof and turn on the lights at
Centre Court.
Of all the things that rattled Nadal on
Thursday evening, the most signicant was
Rosols gutsy game his 22 aces, violent
groundstrokes and shot-punctuating stare-
downs. Put it together and Rosol, making his
debut at the All England Club, overpowered
11-time Grand Slam champion Nadal 6-7 (9),
6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, one of the most astonishing
results in tennis history.
Thats (what) happens when you play
against a player who is able to hit the ball very
hard, hit the ball without thinking and feeling
the pressure, the second-seeded Nadal said.
At the end, when the opponent wants to play
like he wanted to play in the fth (set), you
are in his hands, no? Everything was going
right for him.
Its the rst time since 2005 that Nadal lost
in the second round at any major tournament.
It also ends two streaks for the Spaniard: He
reached the nal at the previous ve Grand
Slams, and also reached the nal the last ve
times he entered Wimbledon, winning the
grass-court tournament in 2008 and 2010.
He played a good match, Rosol said, but
I think I was better today.
Absolutely true.
Actually, seven-time French Open champi-
on Nadal came oh-so-close to a straight-set
exit. He barely avoided losing the opener,
forced to erase three set points before taking it
in the tiebreaker when Rosol plopped a
gimme forehand into the net.
Rosol took the next two sets, pounding
serves, returning well and swinging away
from the baseline. It was an aggressive
approach, as though Rosol wanted to out-
muscle the ultimate on-court bully, right down
to imitating the way Nadal sprints back to the
baseline after changeovers.
Even Rosol considered it stunning he was
able to stay close, much less win.
Asked afterward what his expectations had
been, Rosol replied: Just to play three good
sets, you know. Just dont lose 6-0, 6-1, 6-1.

Lukas Rosol, left, ranked No. 100, is all smiles
after beating 11-time Major champ and
second seed Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon.
OMAHA, Neb. After a couple of epic duels
with his biggest rival, Michael Phelps made this
one look easy.
Phelps stayed on course to swim eight events at
the London Games, pulling away for a dominating
win in the 200-meter buttery at the U.S. Olympic
trials on Thursday night.
The last 25 meters are pretty painful, Phelps
said. I just wanted to get to the wall and secure
another spot on the team.
Phelps has locked up three individual events for
London and hes got two more to go in Omaha.
Combined with a likely spot on all three relays, the
26-year-old from Baltimore already the win-
ningest Olympian ever would have a chance to
duplicate his record from the Beijing Games if he
doesnt stumble over the next three days.
Davis Tarwater led at the rst and second turns,
but there was never any doubt about Phelps
pulling ahead in his signature stroke. He surged to
the front on the third leg, his body slinking through
the water like a dolphin, and was a body-length
ahead of the eld when he touched in 1 minute,
53.65 seconds.
Phelps had a much easier time than his rst two
events at Omaha, when he was going against Ryan

spot).
Phelps said hell have to go even faster in

y.
But he appears to be getting stronger every day.
Its not a good enough time to win a gold
medal, but I think Im OK with it, he said. Going
into the last wall. I didnt want to have any close

freshman year. He rebounded to have a strong
nal three seasons with the Vikings, but did
not receive scholarship offers from any four-
year colleges or universities. He made a name
for himself at Skyline and earned a scholar-
ship to Houston Baptist, where he averaged
nearly 14 points and 10 rebounds his senior
year.
But none of that prepared him for life as
professional. He signed with New Zealand
squad Taranaki MA, but lasted only about six
weeks.
The biggest thing I learned (about the pro
game) is, its a business, Flaherty said. I got
the hard end of the deal (in New Zealand).
Thats the rst thing I tell anyone going over-
seas: be cautious. You have to take care of
yourself. If [the club] thinks youre not help-
ing the team, theyll ship you out. Theyre all
about the business of basketball.
As an American basketball player, were
perceived to be the best. I think thats where
the aspect of business kicks in. If youre not
that good, theyll kick you out right away.
Flaherty kept working and networking,
however. All the hard work on the court that
transformed him into a Division I-level col-
lege basketball player served him well in his
quest to become a professional player.
I put myself out there as much as possible,
Flaherty said. I was emailing, calling, kinda
sending my basketball resume out there as
much as I could.
In September, Flaherty signed with
Durham. In addition to playing, his contract
called for the team to pay for graduate school.
Flaherty received his masters of business
administration from Durham University dur-
ing his time in England.
Skyline head coach Justin Piergrossi is not
surprised to see Flaherty succeeding overseas.
Overseas, you really have to work hard.
Hes worked really hard at it, Piergrossi said.
He has really blossomed. I think hes played
himself into another contract.
Flaherty said the overseas game focuses
more on the team concept of basketball than
the one-on-one, individual focus of the NBA.
Foreign players, in many cases, arent nearly
as athletic, but as a center, Flaherty found the
competition tends to be more rough-and-tum-
ble.
Those aspects of the game t Flaherty to a
T.
Overseas, [the game] is more fundamental.
In America, we like to highlight the stars. In
Europe, theyre more about team: pass, pass,
move. Its a lot more physical, Flaherty said.
Ive never been known as the most athletic
guy on the basketball court. (Being a more
team-oriented game) did me a favor. I did have
one of the best seasons of my basketball
career.
Flaherty said Durham has offered him a
two-year contract to continue playing, but hes
not sure what hell do. Yes, he did realize a
dream of playing professionally, but hes not
going to get terribly rich playing in the BBL
and, at the age of 24, realizes his professional
window is closing.
[Durham] extended an offer my way. At
this point, I dont know how I feel. I got my
masters, Im fairly employable. I see potential
in things I couldnt do before. Its really on
me. Ill give myself another two, three weeks
to decide what I want to do, Flaherty said. I
love the game of basketball and its gotten me
into school and I got to see the world.
Looking back, there are always thing you
could have done differently. When I just
take a look, Ive got to live a life of privilege.
I go to bed with a smile on my face and wake
up with a smile on my face. Im no one to
complain.

Mario Flaherty, a former Mills and Skyline standout, averaged 13.7 points and nearly eight
rebounds for the expansion DurhamWildcats of the British Basketball League.
Its a really important tournament for us,
said Erik Wright, a Bay Area-based polo pro-
fessional and founder of the WrightWay Polo
Center North, based out of San Francisco.
They were critical members of the Menlo
Polo Club and polo in California in general and
even across the country. Its to honor them.
Wright has been a professional for over 20
years and is one of the leaders of the sport
when it comes to its latest local growth spurt.
Wright founded the WrightWay Polo Center
North, which operates many of its activities
and programs through its Menlo Polo Club
division, in what he called a new model of
polo.
In the past, if you want to learn how to play
polo, its usually a family thing, Wright said.
Theres a lot of family connections. It crosses
generations. But thats sort of the old model
quickly into the development you had to buy a
horse or two, most players carry four to eight
horses to play on and that presented barriers.
Wrights center hopes to provide a way
above or around that barrier.
Were trying to give people the opportunity
to learn the sport without jumping in at too
high of a cost, Wright said. Its much more
accessible than people think.
WrightWay rents equipment and horses, plus
it provides instruction, group classes and per-
sonal training sessions.
Even in this economy, weve received great
growth. Its a fantastic sport, Wright said. Its
a huge rush but its also very tactical, theres
also a huge speed element. Its not a hard sell
[but] it has this perception as elitist and as
being really expensive. Im not going to say its
cheap, but we make it as affordable as we can.
But for Lyn Cobb, the true value comes from
maintaining the legacy her family left behind.
And just like her father before her, she gets to
do it alongside her daughter.
Its absolutely amazing, Lyn Cobb said.
We talk nonstop. We share strategy. She obvi-
ously gets to go out on the best horses. Its just
so much camaraderie. She pushes me to play
better. When we all come back to the center,
we know Im honoring my mother and father
and shes honoring her grandparents.
The Mack and Madelyn Invitational takes
place on Sunday at the Menlo Polo Club at 190
Park Lane in Atherton beginning at noon. For

2012 Xterra: Nissans authentic SUV
By Ann M. Job
The 2012 Nissan Xterra sport utility vehicle is a rugged,
capable off-roader with strong V-6 and authentic SUV ride and
looks.
Its this genuine SUV character that differentiates the high-
riding, boxy Xterra from todays slew of softer-riding, pave-
ment-loving SUVs that have become popular with mainstream
buyers.
To be sure, the ve-seat Xterra, with its fully boxed ladder
frame and rear suspension with solid axle and leaf springs,
harkens back to the SUV basics even if buyers can opt for
leather-covered seats instead of cloth in the top model. And,
Xterra offers iPod connectivity these days.
Still, to SUV purists, the ve-door Xterra can be a refreshing
vehicle that provides an old-school ride along with a new-car
warranty.
Consumer Reports says Xterra reliability has been above
average.
Just dont expect to get great fuel economy. The best rating
the 2012 Xterra receives from the federal government is 16
miles per gallon in city driving and 22 mpg on the highway. A
four-wheel drive test model averaged 15.6 mpg in combined,
city, highway and off-road travel.
Starting manufacturers suggested retail price, including des-
tination charge, for a base, 2012 Xterra X with two-wheel drive
and automatic transmission is $26,035. The lowest starting
retail price for a 2012 Xterra with four-wheel drive is $28,085
for a base X model that comes with automatic transmission.
These prices compare to the $28,750 starting MSRP, includ-
ing destination charge, for a front-wheel drive, 2012 Kia
Sorento with 276-horsepower V-6 and automatic transmission
and the $30,450 starting price for an all-wheel drive 2012
Sorento with V-6 and automatic. Note that the Sorento also is
offered with a four-cylinder at a starting retail price of $23,950.
All Sorentos come with automatic transmission.
But the Xterra has one engine only a 261-horsepower six
cylinder and can be ordered with a manual transmission that
some off-roaders prefer.
Meantime, the competing 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser with two-
wheel drive, 260-horsepower V-6 and automatic has a retail
starting price of $26,875.
The Xterra tester was the top-of-the-line Pro-4X with fog
lights at the front bumper, light bar on the roof and skid plates
protecting the lower part of the engine in case it hits a rock or
tree stump off-road.
Like all Xterras, the tester featured noticeable, large ared
wheel wells, a hood thats chest high and at metal sides
devoid of decoration. Theres even a step built into the side of
the Xterra, near the rear bumper, that helps driver and passen-
gers access items stowed on the roof during those off-road

excursions.
Nissan also offers an Xterra tent that con-
nects the cargo area to a tented sleeping and
living area once a days travels are over.
And, in contrast to softer SUVs, the Xterra
carries around under the rear cargo floor a
full-size spare tire. A small, temporary spare
would never do in the wilderness.
Small statured people have to scramble to
get up onto the front seats of the Xterra,
which has a minimum ground clearance of
8.2 inches in the base model and up to 9.5
inches in the Pro-4X.
Views out front in the tester were great as
the driver looked down onto the roof of a
Mini Cooper. But a Honda Odyssey van and
large pickups still blocked views ahead.
Backing up the Xterra was a bit stressful
because metal pillars alongside the tailgate
window blocked views, and theres no facto-
ry option for a backup camera.
Nissan does, however, offer a mind-blow-
ing Rockford Fosgate audio system with
eight speakers and a subwoofer. Satellite
radio is available, too.
The 4-liter, double overhead cam V-6 is a
longtime, award-winning powerplant at
Nissan and moves the heavy Xterra along in
sprightly fashion. Just a touch of the accel-
erator and the test Xterra rushed forward
eagerly. Throttle tip-in was light, which
required the driver to learn to carefully
meter foot pressure to drive smoothly.
Otherwise, the engines 281 foot-pounds of
peak torque at 4,000 rpm came to the fore.
The Xterra merged well into traffic. But
wind noise became noticeable at just over 40
miles per hour, and even at stoplights,
sounds from nearby cars entered the passen-
ger compartment.
Theres no refined ride in the Xterra. On
uneven pavement, passengers felt a bounci-
ness, and a sensation of heaviness at the four
wheels was evident. In turns and sweeping
curves, passengers felt head toss in the tall
4,200-plus-pound vehicle as weight shifted
from one side to the other. Note: The test
vehicle had the Pro-4Xs Bilstein gas-filled
shock absorbers for a tighter ride off-road.
Headroom is a generous 39.3 inches in
front and rear seats, and rear legroom of
34.4 inches is better than whats in the FJ
Cruiser.
Fit and finish on the Tennessee-built
Xterra was excellent, with body gaps outside
consistent and interior plastic materials
lined up just so.
The Pro-4X came with an attractive cloth
upholstery that looked to have a cloth net-
ting, in contrasting color, over it. It worked
well to keep passengers from sliding around
in the seats.
But the Xterras ceiling material looked
cheap, and none of the windows came with a
power-up function. The drivers window had
power-down only.
Still, the Xterras many usable storage
spots were impressive for how much they
could hold. Two cupholders between the
front seats can accommodate large drinks,
for example, and there are two gloveboxes.
The 2012 Xterra has been the subject of
one safety recall involving bolts holding the
engine oil filter and engine cooler in place.
Some bolts could break at the oil filter
attachment point, causing oil to leak and
creating the potential for the engine to seize
up and cause a crash.

By Tom Krisher
DETROIT Say you just bought a new
car, and the right front tire goes at as youre
driving down the freeway.
Dont be surprised if theres no spare when
you look in the trunk.
This year, more than 14 percent of new
models on sale in the United States came with
liquid tire sealant and a portable electric air
pump instead of a spare, a trend that is grow-
ing as automakers try to shed pounds and
boost gas mileage.
But there can be problems. While the
sealant works well in most cases, you could
be stuck on the shoulder if the hole that
caused the at is larger than a quarter of an
inch, or if the puncture is on the side of the
tire. In those cases, the only option is to have
your car towed, and you may have to wait for
a repair shop to track down a new tire.
The last thing you want to do is nd out
the hard way that you dont have a spare tire
if youre stranded on the side of the road,
said Gene Petersen, tire program leader for
Consumer Reports magazine.
However, General Motors Co., Hyundai
Motor Co. and other automakers that use the
pump-and-sealant kits say they have many
advantages, mainly the weight savings. The
kits are about 20 pounds lighter than a tempo-
rary spare and the jack and other tools needed
to put on the tire. Also, the inator kits dont
take up as much room in the trunk, leaving
more space for luggage or other cargo.
GM, which has made inators and sealant
standard on all but ve of its 22 U.S. car and
crossover models, said the kits can x 85 per-
cent of tire punctures. Theyre easy to use,
even for someone who might be afraid of
changing a tire, and theyre safer because tires
can be quickly relled, getting the driver off
the roadside and back in trafc faster than put-
ting on a spare, said Dave Cowger, GMs tire
engineering group manager.
Hyundai says the inator kits help avoid
another problem: getting dirty while changing
a tire yourself. All you do is attach some tubes
and ll the tire with sealant and air.
GMs market research, Cowger said, shows
that half of consumers would call for roadside
assistance rather than using a spare.
Also, new cars now come with electronic
tire pressure monitors, so a slow leak in a tire
is likely to be detected and xed before it
causes problems on the road, Cowger said.
GM, like many automakers, offers car buy-
ers the option of getting a spare tire, charging
$100 to $150 more for them. Cowger would-
nt say if GM saves money by swapping ina-
tor kits for spares.
But many new car buyers assume that
theyre getting a spare and dont ask about it,
said Ronald Montoya, consumer advice asso-
ciate with the Edmunds.com automotive web-
site.
Unfortunately, this is something that many
of us dont think of when shopping for a car,
he said.
Plus, new cars are often equipped with larg-
er wheels and performance tires with smaller
sidewalls than regular tires. That helps a car
handle better, but the sides of those tires take
more punishment from potholes and are more
prone to sidewall punctures, said Petersen.
Quest for gas mileage may make spare tires extinct
Spider-Mans new
chapter a success
By Christy Lemire
Its impossible to avoid the comparisons, so we may as well just
get them out of the way early so we can move on.
The Amazing Spider-Man a reboot? Prequel? New chap-
ter? Its hard to decide what to call it is pretty much different
in every way from the staggeringly successful Marvel Comics-
inspired trilogy that preceded it.
The basics are the same: A high school kid gets bitten by a sci-
entically modied spider, discovers he has newfound super pow-
ers, decides to use them as a vigilante crime ghter and takes to
the streets of New York in an unforgivingly tight red-and-blue
suit.
But in terms of tone, characters, performances and even visual
effects, The Amazing Spider-Man feels like its own separate
entity. It may not be as transporting or genre-altering an experi-
ence as those earlier lms, especially the rst two, but it nds a

DESIGNS IN METALWORK AT SAN
FRANCISCO AIRPORT MUSEUM.
Successful design provides great diversity of
forms in the objects that surround us from
the clothes we wear and the cars we drive, to
the buildings we inhabit and the furniture we
use. Form, Function and Beauty: Design
Variations in Metalwork from the Margo Grant
Walsh Collection, on display at SFO Museum
at the San Francisco International Airport,
demonstrates the artistry employed in the
design and craftsmanship of functional house-
wares and jewelry. Bracelets, brooches, bowls,
serving sets and salt and pepper casters are
among the objects the show draws together,
representing nearly every design style from the
late 19th century to the present, shown in a
manner that throws their differences into high
relief. Pewter candlesticks made in a restrained
arts and crafts style at the turn of the 12th cen-
tury are exhibited alongside the elaborate and
structural forms of sterling silver candlesticks
made more than a century later. The naturalism
of a 1903 copper and brass Art Nouveau teapot
from Germany presents a striking contrast to a
Mexican modernists interpretation in silver
from 1940. Chinese saltcellars chased with
scrolling dragons from the late 19th century
share space with the vase-like forms and tex-
tured nishes of a pair of casters made in
London in the late 20th century. And a 21st
century Italian choker made from a single, rib-
bon-like band of silver demonstrates a remark-
ably different design approach than pendant
necklaces intricately decorated with set stone
from the early 20th century. Taken together,
the pieces reveal artists working in the style of
their period, borrowing from earlier traditions
and pioneering new styles of their own.
Form, Function and Beauty: Design
Variations in Metalwork from the Margo Grant
Walsh Collection, located pre-security in the
International Terminal Main Hall Departures
Lobby, San Francisco International Airport, is
on view until Dec. 16. There is no charge to
view the exhibition.
Created in 1980, SFO Museum was the rst
cultural institution of its kind located in an
international airport. An ever-changing sched-
ule of exhibitions on a diverse range of sub-
jects provides an educational and cultural
experience for the more than 40 million pas-
sengers who use the Airport annually. SFO
Museum has become an integral part of the
San Francisco International Airport, and its
exhibitions are an established tradition
enjoyed by frequent visitors from the San
Francisco Bay Area and travelers from all over
the world.

bridal gowns and accessories from the 1880s
to 1970. Handmade and machine-made lace
are featured on the gowns, veils, gloves, shoes,
handkerchiefs and other accessories. Unusual
pieces displayed are lace items and photos
belonging to the Adams sisters, Lilliputians
who were entertainers (singing and dancing)
on the Vaudeville circuit in the 1880s. Sara and
Lucy, who were 43 and 46 inches tall,
designed and sewed many of their own cloth-
ing and costumes. Visitors are encouraged to
bring or send a photo of their own wedding
gown for inclusion in a book of gowns to be on
display throughout the exhibit. (Do not submit
originals, as the photos will not be returned. Be
sure to include the date and place of the wed-
ding.) The Lace Museum is the only lace

distinct voice. And a great deal of that has to do with the central
performance from Andrew Gareld as Peter Parker.
In the hands of Tobey Maguire, who originated the role in
Spider-Man a decade ago, Peter was nerdy, scrawny, insecure
thats how his everyman relatability manifested itself. Gareld
plays Peter as more of a misunderstood outsider, a rebel with a
chip on his shoulder, a guy who wasnt afraid to stand up to the
class bully even before he underwent his transformation. And that
slightly arrogant attitude gives the whole movie a restless, reck-
less energy and a welcome sense of danger.
At the helm, Marc Webb is a very different sort of director. He
may not have sounded like the most obvious choice for a hugely
anticipated blockbuster based on his only previous feature, the
romantic comedy charmer (500) Days of Summer. His big set
pieces may lack some of the imagination that director Sam Raimi
brought previously, but theyll do. More importantly, though, he
conveys an emotional truth, a pervasive sense of humanity, which
may be an even tougher feat in this kind of fantastical scenario.
Webbs deft touch is especially clear in the scenes between
Gareld and Emma Stone as Peters classmate Gwen Stacy, who
has to be the cutest, best-dressed science geek on the planet. (In
this version of the Spider-Man universe, we must be pre-Mary
Jane Watson.) Stone radiates the cute, bright, quick-witted pres-
ence weve come to know and love in lms like Easy A and
Crazy Stupid Love, and she and Gareld have a sweetly irty
chemistry. (The scene where he nally asks her out without real-
ly asking her out is adorably awkward.) But theres depth and
sensitivity there, too, since shes the only one who knows his
secret for a long time.
The script from James Vanderbilt, Steve Kloves and veteran
Alvin Sargent begins when Peter was a boy. A sudden threat
forces his parents to leave him with his Uncle Ben (Martin
Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field) before disappearing forever.
As Peter grows into a teenager, be begins to ask questions about
who they were especially his mysterious scientist father
(Campbell Scott). (If you hadnt noticed, its a great supporting
cast. All these longtime actors show what total pros they are by
nding just the right balance in tone and never over- or under-
playing their parts.)
This brings him to the gleaming high-rise where his fathers
former partner, Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), is deeply involved
in some groundbreaking and unproven genetic research.
When Connors nally tests his latest formula on himself, the
results dont exactly turn out the way he (or the unsuspecting res-
idents of Manhattan) might have hoped. The destruction he caus-
es in his altered state, and Spider-Mans attempts to stop him
from causing even more, provide the basis for the lms obliga-
tory noisy showdowns.
Which brings us to the use of 3-D: The Amazing Spider-Man
didnt need it. I realize I say that a lot but its an observation that
seems especially true this time around. Webb barely applies this
de rigueur trick maybe to make the background pop here and
there, or in an aerial shot of the city, but he never puts the tech-
nology to its fullest use to make you feel immersed in this world.
Basically, the 3-D feels like an attempt by the studio to sling
more summer moviegoing dollars into its web; you should resist,
especially since, based on a quick tease during the closing cred-
its, a sequel is clearly being hatched.
The Amazing Spider-Man, a Columbia Pictures release, is
rated PG-13 for sequences of action and violence. Running time:
138 minutes. Three stars out of four.
SPIDER-MAN
By Jake Coyle
NEW YORK On a weekend in
January of 2010, Sony Pictures and
Marvel Studios pivoted faster than even
Spider-Man would dare.
A fourth installment of the hugely pop-
ular Spider-man franchise was planned,
with director Sam Raimi and star Tobey
Maguire returning to their trilogy of lms
that had earned more than $2.5 billion at
the global box ofce and generally been
hailed as a standard-bearer in big-screen
comic book adaptations.
But by that Monday, Raimis dissatis-
faction with the script and the producers
eagerness for a new movie had come to a
head. In a ash, the sequel was kaput, and
a reboot was ordered up. Next Tuesday,
The Amazing Spider-Man will be
released, charting a new start for the web-
slinger just ve years after Spider-Man
3.
Reboots of lm franchises have been
typically launched many more years later
than that. But today, ve years is a life-
time in the movie business, says Sony
Pictures co-chairman Amy Pascal. I was-
nt troubled by it.
Reasons for reboots vary from restoring
dormant franchises (Star Trek), to
refreshing long-running ones (James
Bond) or improving on previous failures
(The Hulk).
The Hulk was famously tried twice, in
2003 and 2008 by Marvel and Universal
Pictures. Similarly, a new Superman
(Man of Steel) is due out next year from
Warner Bros., a new start for the DC
Comics character after 2006s
Superman Returns disappointed.
The Adventures of Spider-Man, on
the other hand, comes close on the heels
of Raimis acclaimed trilogy. Though
Sonys preference was to make a fourth
lm with the same team, Pascal now says
they were looking for a story that wasnt
there, following the conclusiveness of
Spider-Man 3.
That makes the $200 million
Adventures of Spider-Man a somewhat
daring maneuver, bound to face compar-
isons to the recent Spider-Man lms and
skepticism from some moviegoers.
To combat any Spidey fatigue, Sony has
imbued the new, 3-D Spider-Man with
youth: Andrew Gareld plays Peter
Parker, Emma Stone plays his girlfriend
Gwen Stacy and Marc Webb, whose only
previous feature was 2009s (500) Days
of Summer, directs.
The only time to take a break is when
your franchise fails, says Avi Arad, a pro-
ducer of the lm and former CEO of
Marvel Studios. People want Spider-
Man, so its our responsibility to give
them something new, something different
and start a whole new generation of
Spider-Man lovers.
Webbs vision of the lm (written by
James Vanderbilt, Alvin Sargent and Steve
Kloves) is predicated on Parkers origin
tracing his history as an orphan and
beginning with his parents. That also
means, come high school, covering some
of the same ground from Raimis rst
Spider-Man: the spider bite, the uncles
death, the school hallway showdowns.
Its not like were retelling the exact
origin as Sam had done it, says Webb.
But I felt it was important for a new story
to understand the character from the
ground up because I feel like the inection
of this character was quite different than
what wed seen before.
That inection is closer to the Spider-
Man of the comics. Garelds version of
the hero is more sarcastic, lithe and
twitchy more of a rebellious teen.
The 28-year-old British actor from The
Social Network, whos fresh off an
acclaimed performance in Death of a
Salesman on Broadway, wanted to honor
the previous incarnations of Spider-Man.
A fan of the comics since childhood, he
says taking on the role was less a decision
to consider than a matter of listening to
my inner 3-year-old screaming at me.
With Spider-Man, the legacy is so
huge and theres so much to pay homage
to and respect to, that you have to be as
aware of it as much as possible, says
Gareld.
After moving through some of the icon-
ic elements of the Spider-Man story, the
lm brings in a new villain from the
comics: the Lizard, as transformed from
the scientist Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys
Ifans). The lm reminds one that Spider-
Man remains a young mans superhero: It
works best as a coming of age story. Had
Spider-Man 4 gone ahead (Maguire is
now 36), producers said it would have
been the last of the series.
A big part of the DNA of Peter Parker
is that adolescent quality, says Webb,
whose (500) Days of Summer was also
a story of transition into adulthood. Its a
time in your life where youre imperfect
and youre unpolished and you make mis-
takes and youre discovering things and
every emotion is apocalyptic.

Ready for a cool and refreshing soup
hot off the grill? Its got to be gazpacho.
Gazpacho is the perfect healthy sum-
mer food. Its jammed with all manner of
vegetables, including the tomatoes and
zucchini that tend to overrun our gardens,
and traditionally is served cool to help
beat the summer heat.
While some people prefer their gazpa-
chos made from raw vegetables, we nd
that cooking the produce, then chilling it
deepens the avors. But who wants to
head inside to cook in summer? So we
came up with this delicious recipe for
grilled gazpacho.
Along with being a low-fat cooking
method that wont heat up the kitchen,
grilling vegetables adds a delicious
smoky char to the soup. Make this soup at
least several hours and up to a day ahead,
then chill until you are ready to enjoy.
GRILLED GAZPACHO
Start to nish: 30 (plus chilling time)
Servings: 4
1/2 fresh poblano pepper
4 large tomatoes, halved
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise
1 medium summer squash, halved
lengthwise
1 medium red onion, halved
Salt and ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh basil
1 tablespoon fresh oregano
1 medium cucumber, peeled and nely
diced
Zest and juice of 1 orange
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta
cheese (optional)
Heat the grill to high. Using an oil-
soaked paper towel held with tongs, oil
the grill grates.
Place the poblano pepper on the grill
and cook until it is charred and blackened
on all sides. Place the pepper in a paper
bag, close the bag and allow the pepper to
steam in its own heat for 10 minutes
while you grill the other vegetables.
Season the tomatoes, zucchini, summer
squash and onion with salt and pepper.
Arrange the vegetables on the grill and
cook until slightly charred and tender,
about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to
a platter and set aside.
Using the paper bag to assist, rub the
poblano pepper until all of the charred
skin loosens and peels off. Using a paring
knife, cut out and discard the core and
seeds of the pepper.
In a blender or food processor, working
in batches if necessary, puree the
poblano, tomatoes, zucchini, summer
squash, onion, garlic, basil and oregano.
Transfer to a large bowl and allow to cool
completely.
When the soup has cooled, stir in the
diced cucumber and orange zest and
juice. Adjust the seasoning with salt and
black pepper. Refrigerate for 2 to 24
hours.
When ready to serve, drizzle each serv-
ing with balsamic vinegar and top with a
bit of cheese, if using.

Curry fights tears as she says goodbye to Today
NEW YORK For a morning show used to celebrating
family and a connection with its audience, the Today shows
farewell to co-host Ann Curry on Thursday
was brief, tearful and sad.
It was tinged with the sense of failure,
something NBCs dominant morning show
hasnt experienced in a long time.
Curry, who was co-host with Matt Lauer
for a year after several years as the news
anchor, fought back tears on the air, saying
this is not as I expected to ever leave this
couch.
Her departure ended a weeks worth of
awkward television. She came to work after word got out that
NBC was looking to oust her, with neither she nor the network
commenting on the stories until Thursday. Im sorry I could-
nt carry the ball over the nish line but, man, I did try, she
said.
While Curry was placed in a role to which she was unsuited,
blaming her for the Today shows troubles would be sim-
plistic. Expecting her successor most likely NBCs
Savannah Guthrie to author an immediate turnaround would
be unrealistic.
Theres nothing wrong with Ann Curry, said Shelley Ross,
former producer for ABCs Good Morning America and
CBS The Early Show. It is not an Ann Curry failure.
Host lightens up Late Late Show as lights go out
NEW YORK Craig Ferguson kept it light when the lights
went out.
CBS says Wednesdays edition of The
Late Late Show was faced with lighting
problems after a transformer blew, shorting
out the light grid above the stage for the
taping just hours before airtime.
Ferguson, referring to his mechanical
sidekick, quipped that the show would rely
on the light of a robots eye.
Not quite. Two temporary lights were
positioned to illuminate Ferguson and his
guests, former Friends star Lisa Kudrow
and producer Harvey Weinstein, who also joked around with
ashlights.
Ferguson, whose show is taped at CBS Television City in
Hollywood, has weathered technical glitches before. In
October 2009, he had a power failure and taped part of the
show entirely by ashlight. Hes also been plagued periodical-
ly by a leaky roof.

going forward.
Personally, Im thrilled, she said of
the decision. As a provider, Im embar-
rassed it has taken the United States so
long to provide such comprehensive
coverage.
In San Mateo County, the courts deci-
sion means 21,000 of the currently
75,000 uninsured residents will be eligi-
ble for Medi-Cal and another roughly
36,000 will be covered through the
Health Benet Exchange, according to
the Health Plan of San Mateo which
administers publicly funded coverage
programs.
There is still going to be roughly
18,000 uninsured because they are
undocumented, but this certainly makes
a huge difference, said HPSM CEO
Maya Altman.
The uninsured also include those who
choose not to have coverage because as
the court ruled it is not actually an indi-
vidual mandate but a choice, said Jean
Fraser, director of the San Mateo County
Health System.
With 18 months left until the new sys-
tem fully takes effect, Fraser expects
those implementing it on the state level
are both excited and daunted by estab-
lishing the enrollment process and mak-
ing it simple enough to entice everyone
eligible.
The county is already one step ahead
by participating with the state in a pro-
gram that signed up about 8,000 people
eligible in 2014.
Weve been really, really focused on
this because we know health insurance
saves peoples lives, Fraser said.
Fraser hopes implementing the act is
revenue neutral for the San Mateo
Medical Center because public hospitals
nationwide agreed to sacrice some of
the supplemental reimbursements they
receive for their larger amount of
patients. A greater number of insured
patients could balance the loss, she said.
The future enrollment numbers are
predicated on California choosing to
expand Medicaid but Altman doesnt
anticipate the state saying no, particular-
ly because of the full federal funding the
rst years and its heavily Democratic
leadership.
That leadership includes state Sen.
Leland Yee, D-San Francisco/San
Mateo, who said he looks forward to
implementing the act in California and
Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, D-San
Francisco, who used the announcement
as the chance to tout her own bill to
include prescription drug costs in the
federal governments coverage caps.
With the long-anticipated ruling
issued and favoring the act, the chal-
lenge now is expanding the provider net-
work further so that the newly insured
and those already covered will have
good access to physicians, Altman said.
Now its time to knuckle down and
get to work. Theres so much to do but
this is such a relief, Altman said.
The relief is not just about the future
but also the fate of existing programs.
The health plan, for example, received
a grant funded under the act for clients
dually eligible for Medicare and
Medicaid. If the act had been over-
turned, Altman said it was unclear what
would have happened to the project.
Other lingering questions still remain
now that the decision is in.
Jeff Gerard, president of the Sutter
Health region that includes Mills-
Peninsula Health Services in San Mateo
and Burlingame, calls the act and the
particulars of the exchange a develop-
ing story.
As a provider organization, Gerard
said Sutter has to gure out how to deliv-
er health care as cost effective and coor-
dinated as possible with more people
entering the system.
That said, Gerard said philosophically
the act is a good thing.
In a country like ours, its a shame for
people to be afraid to be sick, Gerard
said.
In an issued statement, Kaiser
Permanente said it is still reviewing the
decision to see how it affects the
Medicaid expansion planned for 2014
but meanwhile is assuring members
there will be no disruption of their cov-
erage.
As a physician in private practice,
Sujansky said she doesnt know nan-
cially what the ruling means for her
business but regardless shes thrilled
patients will get the care they need.
Thats why we went into medicine,
she said.
Even those with insurance, particular-
ly seniors who fall in the Medicaid
doughnut hole, avoid or delay treatment
and prescriptions because of the cost,
Sujansky said.
Not everybody yesterday sang praises
of the court and care act. Inquiries to the
countys Republican Party went unan-
swered but party representatives and
leaders elsewhere did not mince words.
Obamacare is the Trojan horse of
socialism ... You can put a gun to my
head but I will never pay this tax or com-
ply with this dictate. Every freedom lov-
ing American ought to adopt this
stance, said Assemblyman Tim
Donnelly, R-Hesperia, in a prepared
statement.
Yet, in heavily Democratic San Mateo
County, the term historic was bandied
about often and ofcials called the day a
long time coming.
Decent, quality health care for all
Americans has been a goal our country
has had since President Truman, U.S.
Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, said in a
prepared statement.
U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo,
said the rulings core concept is that
affordable health care is a right instead
of a privilege. She particularly focused
on the benets to women, mainly that
pre-existing conditions like pregnancy,
cesarean sections or domestic violence
backgrounds cannot be denied and
women cannot be charged higher premi-
ums than men with the same age and
health records.
In short, today marks a turning point
in Americans long struggle to make a
dream into a reality the dream of
affordable health coverage for every
American. Work remains but the goal is
in sight, Speier said in a prepared state-
ment.
With an eye toward the future when
the acts provisions fully take effect,
many are heralding yesterday as a key
moment even if individuals dont feel
the change yet.
Right now, today, a whole bunch of
people in San Mateo County have bene-
ted. For instance, those under 26 who
can now stay on their parents insurance
when they would have been kicked off,
Fraser said. Today, there are some clear
benets that happened albeit quietly.
LOCAL
required to be insured or pay a penalty. There are
subsidies to help people who cant afford coverage.Most
employers will face penalties if they dont offer coverage
for their workers. Newly created insurance markets will
make it easier for individuals and small businesses to buy
affordable coverage. And Medicaid will be expanded to
cover more low-income people.
Insurers will be prohibited from denying coverage to
people with medical problems or charging those people
more.They wont be able to charge women more,either.
During the transition to 2014, a special program for
people with pre-existing health problems helps these
people get coverage.
An assortment of tax increases, health industry fees and
Medicare cuts will help pay for the changes.
STILL, NOTEVERYONEWILLBECOVERED
An estimated 26 million people will remain without
coverage once the law is fully implemented, including
illegal immigrants,people who dont sign up and choose
to face the penalties instead, and those who cant afford
it even with the subsidies.That number could be higher,
depending on whether any states refuse the Medicaid
expansion.
THETAXINGTRUTH
When the law was before Congress, Obama and
Democratsavoidedcallingitspenaltyfor goinguninsured
atax.But theadministrationarguedbeforetheSupreme
Court that the law was constitutional as a federal tax.The
court rejected two other Obama administration
arguments for the law but accepted the tax assertion.
Not everyone without insurance will be docked.By 2016,
about 4millionpeoplewill paythepenaltytotheInternal
Revenue Service, the Congressional Budget Ofce has
estimated.Theywouldpay$695for eachuninsuredadult
or 2.5 percent of family income, up to $12,500 a year.
The IRS cant prosecute violators or place liens against
them, however. Its only enforcement option may be
withholding money from refunds.
WHATAREREPUBLICANSSAYING?
Obamacare was bad law yesterday. Its bad law today,
Romney said after the ruling.
The Republican-led House already has voted for repeal
but cant push it forward so long as Obamas in the White
House and Democrats lead the Senate making the
November elections crucial.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell called the
court decision a fresh start on the road to repeal.
OBAMASREACTION
Obama says the decision upholds the fundamental
principle that in the wealthiest nation on earth, no one
should be ruined nancially by an illness or accident.
He called it a victory for people all over this country
whose lives will be more secure because of this law.
ABOUTTHATMANDATE
Some parts of the law have proven popular. But the
insurance mandate is widely disliked.
Each time The Associated Press has asked in polls, more
than8in10Americans havesaidthegovernment should
not have the right to require everyone to buy health
insurance.
The public also has tilted against the law as a whole over
the two years since it was passed. About half opposed it
and a third were in favor in an AP-GfK poll shortly before
the Supreme Court ruled.
CARE
have health insurance or pay a penalty.
The aim is to extend coverage to more
than 30 million people who now are
uninsured
The decision meant the huge over-
haul, still taking effect, could proceed
and pick up momentum over the next
several years, with an impact on the way
that countless Americans receive and
pay for their personal medical care.
The ruling handed Obama a cam-
paign-season victory in rejecting argu-
ments that Congress went too far in
approving the plan. However,
Republicans quickly indicated they
would try to use the decision against
him.
At the White House, Obama declared,
Whatever the politics, todays decision
was a victory for people all over this
country. Blocks away, GOP presiden-
tial candidate Mitt Romney renewed his
criticism of the overhaul, calling it bad
law and promising to work to repeal it
if elected in November.
Demonstrators for and against the law
crowded the grounds outside the
Supreme Court Building on Capitol Hill
as Roberts, sitting at the center of the
nine black-robed justices inside,
announced the decision to a packed
courtroom.
Breaking with the other conservative
justices, Roberts wrote the judgment
that allows the law to go forward. He
explained at length the courts view of
the insurance mandate as a valid exer-
cise of Congress authority to lay and
collect taxes. The administration esti-
mates that roughly 4 million people will
pay the penalty rather than buy insur-
ance.
Roberts, appointed by Republican
President George W. Bush, opposed by
young Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois
and much-criticized by Democrats in
recent years, sided with his courts lib-
erals on a major case for the second
time this week as the justices concluded
their 2011-12 term.
On Monday, he had voted to invali-
date parts of Arizonas tough crackdown
on illegal immigrants.
In the health care case, Congress had
referred to a penalty, not a tax, on peo-
ple who dont obtain insurance. But
Roberts said the court would not get
hung up on labels. Among other indica-
tions it is a tax, Roberts said, the pay-
ment is collected solely by the IRS
through the normal means of taxation.
Because the Constitution permits
such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it,
or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness,
Roberts said.
Many Republicans oppose the law,
arguing that it marks a government
takeover of health care at the same time
it curtails Medicare spending and raises
taxes. They also point to studies that
predict private employers will be forced
to reduce or eliminate coverage and that
the legislation will wind up costing far
more than estimated, raising federal
decits as a result.
HEALTH
FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 2012
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- In order to gratify a
personal ambition, you might unthinkingly do some-
thing at the expense of another. Consider all of the
ramifcations before taking action.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Most of the time youll be
very pragmatic, but some little thing you take for
granted could be your downfall, causing you an
unexpected loss. Be detail-conscious at all times.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- When it comes to your
commercial dealings, keep your guard up constantly.
If youre naive, theres a chance you could link up
with someone who isnt as ethical as you are.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Regardless of their
ingenuity, if your ideas are not implemented properly
they wont produce the results you want. Make their
execution as bright as your initial thinking.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Pay particular attention
to details, especially if you are working on a group
endeavor in which many folks have a fnger. If some-
one makes a mistake, another will compound it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- It would be best
not to volunteer to help someone with a project about
which you know nothing. You might be the one who
is held accountable if anything goes wrong.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- In order to placate
your mate, you might agree to do something that
goes against your better judgment. You would be far
better off hammering out an agreement that you can
both live with.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Just in case some-
thing disruptive should occur that interrupts your
work, it would be better for you to focus on getting
essential tasks done early in the day.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You can be a pretty
good manager of your funds when you put your
mind to it. However, itll be up to you to prevent your
whimsical impulses from gaining the upper hand.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Nothing good will come
of you and a colleague pulling in opposite directions.
Youll have to frst straighten out your differences
before you can work together.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Regardless of how juicy
the news, you should check it out before passing it on
as gospel. You could wrongly ruin someones reputation.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Its good to be enthusi-
astic about something that you want, but check out
its price frst before you make a fnancial commit-
ment. It might be much cheaper somewhere else.

DERS If you are considering bidding on
this property lien, you should understand
that there are risks involved in bidding at
a trustee auction. You will be bidding on
a lien, not on the property itself. Placing
the highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction,
you are or may be responsible for paying
off all liens senior to the lien being auc-
tioned off, before you can receive clear
title to the property. You are encouraged
to investigate the existence, priority and
size of outstanding liens that may exist
on this property by contacting the county
recorder's office or a title insurance com-
pany, either of which may charge you a
fee for this information. If you consult ei-

mostly down during the meeting as McCarthy
sat a few feet away. She declined to speak with
the Daily Journal about the outcome of yester-
days closed session.
Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo,
urged the boards Chair Jim Porter to investigate
Hidalgos claims in a letter Wednesday after the
Daily Journal rst reported the story.
Hill is concerned, however, that McCarthy
will keep his position while the board investi-
gates Hidalgos claims.
If the goal is to have a thorough, unbiased
investigation, I dont know why he would
remain in his position if he is being investigat-
ed, Hill told the Daily Journal. If the allega-
tions are true and there is a problem or conict
or employee intimidation, Im not sure he
should remain since the small group that works
there would be reporting to the very person
being investigated.
The agency only has about eight full-time
employees.
Hill also thinks the SBWMA board should be
made up of local elected ofcials rather than
city staff because elected ofcials are more
accountable to the public.
Porter told the Daily Journal Wednesday that
the agencys joint-operating agreement could be
amended to make the change if eight of the 12
members agree to it.
RethinkWaste members include Atherton,
Belmont, Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Foster
City, Hillsborough, Menlo Park, Redwood City,
San Carlos, San Mateo, San Mateo County and
the West Bay Sanitary District.
The agencys contracting policies were called
into question previously in a 2009 San Mateo
Civil Grand Jury report that was critical of the
awards of two garbage-related contracts and
chided the joint powers agency for not follow-
ing its stated goal to conduct the requests for
proposal process with integrity and transparen-
cy.
Hidalgo, through her attorney Ellen
Mendelson, sent a letter to the board June 25
requesting it to reconsider eliminating the posi-
tion based on her questioning the contracts.
In the letter, Hidalgo alleges she openly ques-
tioned the consultant contracts from February
2011 to November 2011.
Hidalgo states in the letter that she met with
McCarthy and questioned him about the con-
tracts, including those awarded to Betsy Meyer,
a close family friend of Kevin McCarthy.
The letter sent to every member of the board
also states that McCarthy, in a March 2012 staff
meeting, said we better get the Master Plan
books closed before we get audited and the
board nds out what we spent on the Ed
Center.
Hidalgo then allegedly commented on the
events to her immediate supervisor. Shortly
after, McCarthy told Hidalgo he would recom-
mend to the board that her position be abol-
ished.
He informed her that she would be laid off
due to lack of work, effective Aug. 31, 2012,
Mendelson wrote in the letter.
San Carlos Assistant City Manager Brian
Moura, who sits on the SBWMA board, said the
board will move to hire a legal rm that spe-
cializes in these types of investigations.
We have to hire an investigator and see what
their report tells us, Moura said.
PROBE
Park City Elementary and Sequoia Union High
school districts were allocated a combined
$21.56 million.
Our schools face severe challenges, and these
funds help boost Californias investment in the
next generation, giving districts some of the
necessary tools to construct or rebuild our
schools, create jobs in the community and pro-
vide students with better opportunities for a suc-
cessful future, State Superintendent Torlakson
said in a prepared statement.
The money will come from a variety of state
propositions previously approved by voters.
Locally, it means districts will have the oppor-
tunity to focus on expanding classroom space
and completing projects that couldnt otherwise
be nished.
Were really pleased, said Maggie
MacIsaac, superintendent of the
Burlingame Elementary School District,
which was granted $8.1 million.
In 2007, the district made a list of needs that
totaled $100 million. Although voters have sup-
ported the district with bond money, its come
short of completing all the items on the list. In
fact, Burlingame has been eyeing another possi-
ble bond measure to nish renovations at
Franklin Elementary, Hoover Elementary and
Burlingame Intermediate schools. With the
grant money, the district can look at additional
projects like solar or infrastructure work to pre-
pare a site for larger renovations projects that
were wanted but not the priority.
The Sequoia Union High School District was
approved for $10.763 million. Sequoia
Superintendent Jim Lianides said the money
will come in handy. A recent demographic
study showed the district will have an addition-
al 1,400 students by 2020. This kind of money,
he said, will allow exibility in adding needed
classroom space.
