Confusion
over open
records act
Facing growing criticism,
legislators backtrack on bill
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO The Legislatures
Democratic leaders on Wednesday pledged
to address a budget bill that threatens pub-
lic access to information held by local
governments, but to do so in different
ways.
The attempts to backtrack on the bill occurred late in the
day Wednesday and in chaotic fashion as the Legislature was
facing intense public criticism over the measure. The leaders
of the Assembly and Senate were at odds about what to do,
leading to confusion and leaving the bills fate uncertain.

In September, Caltrain is expected to start
construction on a major project to keep the
trains safer called the Communication
Based Overlay Signal System, the agencys
rst step toward the electrication of the
corridor.
CBOSS will also incorporate Positive
Train Control, a federal mandate put in place
after a Metrolink commuter train collided
head-on with a freight train in 2008 that
killed 25 people in Southern California.
PTC is GPS-based safety technology
capable of preventing train-to-train colli-
sions. It also monitors and controls train
movement in the event of human error and
may also bring trains to a safe stop in the
event of an earthquake.
CBOSS, combined with PTC, will benet
both Caltrain and the High-Speed Rail
Authority and is being paid for with a vari-
ety of funds from federal, state and local
sources at an estimated cost of about $231
million.
In September, the agency will com-
mence trenching work along the corridor
to bury fiber optics underground in con-
duits, agency spokeswoman Jayme
Ackemann told the Daily Journal. After
that, several poles will be erected along
the corridor, up to 90 feet tall, as part of
the signaling system, she said.
With the federal mandate, the PTC work
must be complete by October 2015,
Ackemann said.
CBOSS will provide the corridor with
more functionality, she said, and is part of
the $1.5 billion modernization project that
will electrify the tracks and allow the
agency to ditch its diesel trains in place of
quieter and cleaner electric vehicles similar

Students Andrew Lee, left to right, Yash Nevatia and Lisa Elliott work on the second version of their shoe design during a
two-week summer program at Burlingame High School focused on design thinking.
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Ever see those shoes that look like
feet?
The ones that should snugly fit
between ones toes? If youre the kind
of person who rocks these kicks, per-
haps youd also be interested in those
features with the look of a traditional
shoe. Thats what team 3 a ve-
member group of teens was working
on during the summer session of a pro-
gram that could be the precursor to a
new academic option in the San Mateo
Union High School District. Idea High
School, which embraces a philosophy
of design thinking, could be a new
school of thought offered in fall 2014.
Right now, its the brainchild of a
handful of educators and parents who
are guring out what such curriculum
would look like.
Called Idea High School, the new
project is the vision of a group of edu-
cators who all met while working at
Capuchino High School. Whether it
will be a charter school, magnet pro-
gram or perhaps a school within a
school are details still being worked
out, explained Ken Montgomery, who
along with Nicole Cerra came up with
Education by design

Cher credits luck for
her lengthy career
UNIVERSAL CITY Cher is no
stranger to tabloid fodder.
The 67-year-old
singer who has
spent most of her
life in the spotlight
offered this advice
to young artists on
navigating the
world of paparazzi
attention: Youre
screwed. Thats my
advice.
You dont deal with it. You just try to
get a place where no one can nd you
and thats your little sanctuary, con-
tinued the Believe singer in an inter-
view Tuesday. I have a fabulous house
that I love and its my sanctuary.
Looking ever the rock star in leather
and studs, Cher took the stage Tuesday
for the season nale of NBCs The
Voice. She performed Womans
World, the rst single off her upcom-
ing album of the same name her 26th
album since she began recording in the
1960s.
Cher said reality singing competi-
tions are simply a modern incarnation
of classic star-makers like The Ed
Sullivan Show and Arthur Godfreys
Talent Scouts.
Its just another vehicle, you know
what I mean? Talent is talent, she said
on the red carpet following the nale
which crowned 16-year-old country
singer Danielle Bradbery the winner.
The young powerhouse from Blake
Sheltons team beat out indie rocker
Michelle Chamuel and country duo the
Swon Brothers for the season four title.
Though Cher has topped the
Billboard pop charts throughout the
last six decades, she credits luck, not
necessarily talent, for her incredible
staying power.
If you have an idea, you tell me
because I havent got a clue, she said
of her secret to career longevity. I
believe that luck has a lot to do with it.
There are lots of people who are more
talented or whatever, but somehow this
has been my path. So this is what Im
doing.
Edward Furlong
charged with assault
LOS ANGELES Terminator 2 star
Edward Furlong has been charged with
assault after a May 21 incident in which

the subject of such
orders taken out by
both his ex-wife and
ex-girlfriend.
He is being held
on $100,000 bail.
Apreliminary hearing is set for July

Woody Harrelson launches
tree-friendly paper brand
LOS ANGELES Woody Harrelson
is putting his paper where his passions
are.
The 51-year-old actor is the co-
founder of Prairie Pulp & Paper Inc.,
which launched its brand of environ-
mentally friendly paper Wednesday.
The company spent 15 years
researching and developing its Step
Forward Paper. Its made of wheat-straw
waste and wood ber rather than virgin
trees.
The company says replacing two
packs of traditional copy paper with
their product saves one tree.
Harrelson says half the worlds
forests are cut down to make paper, and
his companys new paper is going to
be great for our future.

The San Bruno murder suspect who prose-
cutors conceded was not guilty by reason of
insanity when he helped kill an acquain-
tance in his parents home as they slept and
left the heavy body in the driveway was for-
mally committed yesterday to a state mental
facility.
Nicholas Jose Vargas, 26, actually plead-
ed no contest to second-degree murder in
February in return for 16 years to life in
prison for the April 10, 2011 killing of
Christopher Chastain, 23, at his parents
Cypress Avenue home. Three months later,
prosecutors stipulated he was also not
guilty by reason of insanity and, on
Wednesday, a judge formally ordered him
sent to Napa State Hospital. Judge Jack
Grandsaert also found Vargas to be a danger
to others and authorized the hospital to
forcibly medicate him if necessary.
Meanwhile, co-defendant Brandon David
Thompson, 28, was sentenced yesterday to
18 years in prison for voluntary manslaugh-
ter and three counts of
assault with a deadly
weapon. He waived all
credit but 55 days against
the term which makes the
sentence more equivalent
to 20 years. He must also
pay $4,041.64 in victim
compensation.
On the night Chastain
died, he went to the home
of Vargas parents who slept upstairs.
Authorities initially said Vargas may have
lured Chastain there because he believed the
man had harmed his sister in some way but
that motive has since been disproved.
Vargas allegedly placed a plastic bag over
Chastains head and hit him twice with a
pipe wrench while Thompson stabbed him
twice in the abdomen with a kitchen knife.
After attacking and killing him, the
defendants dragged Chastains body down
the driveway to Vargas Honda Accord but
could not lift the man who weighed 275
pounds. Prosecutors say Thompson left the
scene and Vargas contacted his father inside
who followed the blood to
Chastains body and
called 911.
The two mens criminal
cases were split after
Vargas defense attorney
raised questions of his
competency and sanity.
Court-appointed doctors
initially drew different
conclusions but another
doctor who evaluated him
for the prosecution agreed he was insane,
prompting the District Attorneys Ofce to
agree to the settlement.
If a jury had found Vargas sane, he would
have had to serve 16 years before being eli-
gible for parole.
Vargas had no prior criminal history in
San Mateo County, according to court
records. Thompson, though, was on parole
for a 2009 stolen vehicle conviction which
came with a two-year prison sentence.

SAN FRANCISCO Acouple that prose-
cutors dubbed the landlords from hell for
going to scary lengths to drive tenants
from a San Francisco apartment building
including cutting holes in one tenants
oor with a power saw while he was still
inside have pleaded guilty to several
felonies.
Nicole Macy, 37, and Kip Macy, 38,
threatened to shoot tenants, changed locks,
cleared apartments of belongings, and
reported tenants as trespassers in their own
apartments, prosecutors said Wednesday.
They said it was all to drive renters out of
their building in the increasingly pricey
South of Market neighborhood, where rents
have soared in recent years but city restric-
tions keep them in check for existing ten-
ants.
District Attorney George Gascon said in a
statement that the couples tactics were so
outlandish and brazen that it sounds like
the plot line of a horror movie.
The Macys each pleaded guilty Tuesday to
two felony counts of residential burglary,
one felony count of stalking and one
felony count of attempted grand theft.
The crimes occurred between 2005 and
2007 but the Macys ed to Italy after their
2009 grand jury indictment. They reached a
plea deal after they were extradited and will
each be sentenced to four years and four
months in prison. Sentencing is scheduled
for August.
The couple twice used a power saw to cut
holes in the oor of one victims living
room while he was in the apartment and cut
sections out of the joists below the oor,
the district attorneys ofce said.

Burglary spree
suspects arrested
Three burglary sus-
pects who allegedly
stole items from several
residences in several
cities in both San
Mateo and Santa Clara
counties were arrested
last week after being
caught with some
stolen items in their
vehicle by a Mountain
View police officer.
Arrested were East
Palo Alto resident Poasi
Toleseli, 20, Menlo
Park resident Jamie
Maldonado, 21, and
Sunnyvale resident
Marycruz Miranda, 20,
according to police.
They are suspected of
burglaries in Palo Alto,
Redwood City, unincor-
porated San Mateo
County and Sunnyvale,
according to police.
Police found multiple
stolen items at the sus-
pects homes and
booked them into San
Mateo County Jail.
Man in custody for El
Crystal computer burglaries
ACentral Valley man was transferred to the
San Mateo County Jail last week for the bur-
glary of several comput-
ers at El Crystal
Elementary School in San
Bruno March 28, accord-
ing to San Bruno police.
The man, Christopher
Blue, 24, of Hanford,
south of Fresno, was
arrested for burglarizing
the school at 201 Balboa
Way and stealing about
20 computers, jeopardiz-
ing the schools pending
transition to a tech-based learning center.
Facebook employees later donated replace-
ment computers.
Tired driver collides with pole
A fatigued motorist who collided with a
pole on the 500 block of El Camino Real in
Belmont Tuesday slowed trafc for about an
hour starting at about 3 p.m., according to
police.
Upon arrival, police found that a Volvo
sport utility vehicle had left the road and col-
lided with a pole, just north of the Caltrain
parking lot.
The SUV sustained major damage but the
driver, a 42-year-old San Mateo woman, was
checked at the scene by Belmont Fire
Department paramedics and found to be unin-
jured, according to police.
No other vehicles were involved and drugs
or alcohol were not a factor. After investiga-
tion, it appears the driver may have fallen
asleep at the wheel, according to police.
Dog that killed
6-year-old boy euthanized
Apit bull mix that bit and killed a six-year-
old boy in Union City has been euthanized.
The dog was put down Tuesday.
Police said the dog bit Nephi Selu of Dixon
on top of his head Monday morning at his
grandparents home.
Emergency crews took Nephi to Lucile
Packard Childrens Hospital in Palo Alto. He
was declared dead about 4 1/2 hours after he
was bitten.
The dogs owner was a San Mateo police
ofcer and the boys uncle. He believed the
boys injuries were not serious and went to
work before learning the boy died. No
charges have been led in the case yet.
Police are waiting for results of a coroners
report.
Tesla Model S recall
for rear seat latch issue
Tesla is recalling as many as 1,228 of its
Model S vehicles, citing a problem with a
rear seat latch in the electric sports sedan.
The company says no injuries or customer
complaints have been reported.
Chairman and CEO Elon Musk said in a
blog entry Wednesday that the strength of a
mounting bracket for the rear, left seat latch
may be weaker than intended.
The issue was discovered June 10 and the
company notified the National Highway
Trafc Safety Administration.
Owners of potentially affected vehicles,
made between May 10 and June 8, will be
contacted by Tesla.
The company will arrange for the cars to be
picked up and returned, and a loaner vehicle
will be provided, if needed. Teslas stock fell
$1.79 to $101.60 before the market open.

taining personal information.

cial burglary, several counts of theft and

STATE
By Juliet Williams
SACRAMENTO California
lawmakers will get a pay raise of
nearly $5,000 this year while the
governor will see an increase of
nearly $9,000 after a citizens
panel voted Wednesday to restore
some of the cuts it made during the
recession.
Gov. Jerry Browns salary will
increase to $173,987, up from
$165,288 but still below the high
salary of $212,179 in 2008. The
base pay of rank-and-le lawmak-
ers will rise to $95,291 a year
from the current $90,526,
although most lawmakers take
home an additional $30,000 a year
in per diem payments and many
receive additional pay for being
committee leaders.
Last years 5 percent pay cut by
the California Citizens
Compensation Commission was
very heavily driven by the nan-
cial condition of the state, com-
missioner Scott Somers noted. He
said he struggled over whether
now is the right time to raise
salaries in light of the recent dis-
cussions over the state budget.
How do we now say, But by the
way, weve got enough money to
restore the 5 percent cut for you
guys,? said Somers, who was
appointed by former Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger, a Republican.
That feels a little funny to me. ...
Thats a little bit of a dilemma for
me.
Brown has urged lawmakers
not to restore all the spending
cuts for state programs made dur-
ing the recession.
The commission voted 5-1 in
favor of restoring the wages to
2011 levels, amounting to a raise
of slightly more than 5 percent of
current pay. The panel also voted
4-2 to have the state contribute
more to the cost of the elected of-
cials health care but stopped
short of restoring all the cuts it
previously made to health bene-
t s.
The new compensation will take
effect Dec. 1.
Chairman Thomas Dalzell, a
labor attorney appointed by
Brown, opted not to vote on both
motions because a tie-breaker was
not necessary. Brown, a
Democrat, has appointed four of
the commissioners, while the
other three are holdovers from the
Schwarzenegger administration.
Panel restores some pay for lawmakers, governor
Gov. Jerry Browns salary will increase to $173,987, up from $165,288 but
still below the high salary of $212,179 in 2008.

SACRAMENTO A legislative
committee recommended
Wednesday that the Senate conrm
Gov. Jerry Browns choice to lead
Californias prison system.
Members of the Senate Rules
Committee challenged how acting
Corrections Secretary Jeffrey Beard
is dealing with multiple inmate
deaths from suicides and from
Valley fever, a soil-borne fungus in
the San Joaquin Valley.
They asked whether the shift in
sentencing thousands of lower-
level criminals to county jails
instead of state prisons is causing a
spike in crime. And they wondered
when the state might free itself
from federal control of its prison

tions.
Despite concerns from prison
reform groups, the committee voted
3-1 along party lines to recommend
Beards conrmation, with
Democrats in support and one
Republican not voting. The Senate
is expected to eventually follow the
committees recommendation.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said that
although the corrections depart-
ment has continued problems, he
was convinced that Beard is the
right person for the job.
However, he and other senators
asked for assurances that the
Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation will increase reha-
bilitation programs and make other
improvements in coming months.
The Democratic governor nomi-
nated Beard in December for the
job, which pays $225,000 a year.
Beard, 66, previously ran the much
smaller corrections system in
Pennsylvania for nine years.

WASHINGTON After secretive
talks, key senators expressed opti-
mism Wednesday night that they were
closing in on a bipartisan agreement
to toughen the border security require-
ments in immigration legislation that
also offers a path to citizenship to mil-
lions living in the country illegally.
Under the emerging compromise,
the government would grant legal sta-
tus to immigrants living in the United
States unlawfully at the same time the
additional security was being put into
place. Green cards, which signify per-
manent residency status, would be
withheld until the security steps were
complete.
If agreed to, the change has the
potential to give a powerful boost to
the immigration bill that is at the top
of President Barack Obamas second-
term domestic agenda.
The developments came as
Democrats who met with House
Speaker John Boehner during the day
quoted him as saying he expects the
House to pass its own version of an
immigration bill this summer and for
Congress to have a nal compromise
by years end. Boehner, R-Ohio, has
already said the legislation that goes
to the House in the next month or two
will not include a pathway to citizen-
ship for those in the United States ille-
gally.
Precise details of the pending agree-
ment in the Senate were unavailable,
although the legislation already envi-
sions more border agents; additional
fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border;
surveillance drones; a requirement for
employers to verify the legal status of
potential workers; as well as a biomet-
ric system to track foreigners who
enter and leave the United States at air
and seaports and by land.
Our whole effort has been to build a
bipartisan group that will support the
bill, said Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D.,
who has not yet stated a position on
the legislation. Thats what this is all
about, and its focused on border secu-
rity.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., one of
the bills most prominent supporters,
said discussions with Republicans
have been really productive. Weve
made a lot of progress in the last 24
hours. Now we have some vetting to do
with our respective allies.
The potential compromise came into
focus one day after the Congressional
Budget Ofce jolted lawmakers with an
estimate saying that as drafted, the
legislation would fail to prevent a
steady increase in the future in the
number of residents living in the
United States illegally.
The estimate appeared to give added
credibility to Republicans who have
been pressing Democrats to toughen
the border security provisions already
written into the bill. Schumer and Sen.
Bob Menendez, D-N.J., met at midday
with Hoeven, and Republican Sens.
Bob Corker of Tennessee, John
McCain of Arizona and Lindsey
Graham of South Carolina. The
Democrats, McCain and Graham are
part of the so-called bipartisan Gang
of Eight that drafted the bill.

SACRAMENTO A state legisla-
tive committee on Wednesday
approved a bill that would require
Californias health insurance
exchange to make more contract infor-
mation publicly available, even as
advocates for open government urged
lawmakers to go further.
The Senate Health Committee voted
9-0 to pass the legislation by
Republican Sen. Bill Emmerson and
Democratic Sen. Mark DeSaulnier.
They introduced the bill, SB332, after
a story by the Associated Press
revealed the unique degree of privacy
granted to Covered California, as the
exchange is called.
When lawmakers created
Californias health insurance
exchange in 2010 under the federal
Affordable Care Act, they gave it the
authority to conceal contracts for a
year and the amounts paid indenitely.
Under the bill, only contracts with
health insurance plans could be with-
held for a year. Payment details in
those contracts would be private for
four years.
The updated disclosure rules were
modeled on those used by the states
Healthy Families program.
Government transparency advocates
say contract details should be dis-
closed once the agreements are nal,
noting the tens of millions of dollars
that will ow to private companies.
Theres a need for condentially up
to the point where the agreement is
entered into, Peter Scheer, executive
director of the San Rafael-based First
Amendment Coalition, said in an
interview Wednesday. Then all the
material information needs to be made
public unless theres some really com-
pelling reason not to.
Under current rules, exchange of-
cials can keep secret board meeting
minutes, employee training materials
and records that reveal recommenda-
tions, research or strategy. SB332 also
seeks to reverse those restrictions.
California Common Cause and
Health Access California are backing
the changes, which representatives
say would help ensure that
Californians know how the exchange
is being managed.
An AP survey of the 16 other states
that have opted for state-run market-
places showed that the California
agency was given powers that are the
most restrictive in what information is
required to be made public.

MILLBRAE Our
countrys economic
roller-coaster ride
has been interesting
and historic for
sure, but also very
troubling for many
families whove not
been as financially stable as others.
Recently though Ive been observing a
phenomenon with those we serve at the
CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. It may
be too early to confirm, but it appears that
there is a general state of confidence with
many families, along with the decisions and
choices they make during funeral
arrangements. Yes, I know you are thinking
that confidence is not a term you would
use to coincide with funeral arrangements,
but it appears to me that people I see are
tending to be more financially assured than
during the deepest years of The Great
Recession.
They say that the two things you cant
avoid are death and taxes. With that in
mind, during the economic downturn I saw a
very noticeable sense of thrift and
prudence with a lot of families who
experienced a death during that period.
Still, those who tended to cost shop at
various funeral homes selected CHAPEL
OF THE HIGHLANDS to handle funeral or
cremation arrangements. These families
found comfort with our service, and notably
with our more economic cost structure.
Now, lately the trend with families and
their funeral choices reminds me of the days
way before the recession hit. Its not that
people are utilizing their funds differently,
spending more or spending less, but that
they are more assertive and confident when
using their wallet. Seeing this over and over
gives me a good indication that something in
the economic climate is changing compared
to not that long ago.
Even though many of our honorable
elected officials in Sacramento and
Washington D.C. appear to be as inflexible
with economic issues as always, the air of
confidence with the families Ive been
dealing with means to me that these people
are feeling less pressured financially.
It is well known that when businesses do
well they hire more employees, and when
those employees are confident they will
spend their money on goods and services.
In turn, the companies that provide goods
and services will need competent employees
to create more goods, give more services,
and so onmaking a positive circle for a
healthy economy. In relation to that, after a
long period of U.S. manufacturing jobs
being sent over-seas there is news of a
growing number of companies bringing this
work back to the United States. Real Estate
values on the Peninsula remained in a good
state during the recession, but houses here
are now in demand more than ever.
Encouraging Hopeful and Positive
are words to describe the optimistic
vibrations that people are giving off. If the
community is becoming more comfortable
with spending, that indicates good health for
business and the enrichment of our
economic atmosphere. I hope Im right, so
lets all keep our fingers crossed.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Upswing in the Economy

WASHINGTON The chairman of the
federal oversight board that President
Barack Obama said will meet with him to
discuss the National Security Agencys
secret surveillance program said Wednesday
that the group has numerous concerns
about the operation and plans to publish a
report after a full inquiry.
David Medine, who heads the Privacy and
Civil Liberties Oversight Board, told the
Associated Press that board members have
a broad range of questions about the
NSAs widespread collection of Americans
phone and Internet data. Medine, who
spoke following a closed-door meeting of
the group, did not detail the boards con-
cerns.
Medine said the group was given a classi-
ed brieng June 11 about the secret data
collection programs by senior ofcials of
the NSA, FBI, Justice Department and the
national intelligence directors office.
Medine declined to identify the ofcials
who attended the briengs.
Based on what weve learned so far, fur-
ther questions are warranted, he said.
The oversight boards two-hour meeting
Wednesday was its rst since revelations
that the NSA secretly has been collecting
phone data of millions of Americans and
Internet records that are aimed at foreign
users but that it also sometimes sweeps up
materials from inside the U.S. The meeting
was closed to the public because the board
discussed classified information, Medine
said.
Obama said earlier this week that he
would rely on the oversight board to set up
and structure a national conversation
about the two secret programs exposed
recently by NSA contractor Edward
Snowden. The revelations, published in
Britains Guardian and Washington Post
newspapers, exposed the NSAs massive
phone and Internet data collection efforts.
Medine said the oversight board will
study the NSA programs and publish a
report that includes recommendations. He
said the White House would set a date for
the board to meet with Obama. The group
also plans a July 9 public meeting.
Well take testimony from experts,
advocates and academics on the legality of
these programs and their operations and
how they address privacy and civil liber-
ties, Medine said.
Obamas sudden reliance on the board as a
civil libertarian counterweight to the gov-
ernments elaborate secret surveillance
program places trust in an organization
that is untested and whose authority at
times still defers to Congress and govern-
ment censors.

OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. Beneath
a swimming pool, under a horse farm and now
a weed-grown eld north of Detroit. For at
least the third time in a decade, FBI agents
grabbed shovels and combed through dirt and
mud in the search for Jimmy Hoffas remains
or clues to the disappearance of the former
Teamsters boss.
Once again, the search
was futile.
Certainly, were disap-
pointed, Detroit FBI
chief Robert Foley told
reporters Wednesday as
federal and local authori-
ties wrapped up another
excavation that failed to
turn up anything that
could be linked to Hoffa,
who has been missing since 1975.
Many people interested in the mystery
assume Hoffa ran afoul of the mob and was
whacked. Right now the case remains
open, Foley said. At this point, if we do get
logical leads and enough probable cause that
warrant the resources to do an investigation,
then well continue to do so.
The latest search for Hoffas remains was
prompted by a tip from reputed ex-Maa cap-
tain Tony Zerilli. About 40 FBI agents
searched a small eld surrounded by trees and
a gravel road in Oakland Township. With the
aid of a backhoe, they spent about 10 hours
in the eld Monday and another 10 Tuesday
before calling it quits about 10:30 a.m.
Wednesday.
Were always hopeful that well get a lead
that will lead us to a position in which we can
conclude this investigation, said Foley,
both for the process of justice but also for
the family.

BERLIN Summoning the harsh history
of this once-divided city, President Barack
Obama on Wednesday cautioned the U.S. and
Europe against complacency brought on
by peace, pledging to cut Americas
deployed nuclear weapons by one-third if
Cold War foe Russia does the same.
The president also declared that his far-
reaching surveillance programs had saved
lives on both sides of the Atlantic, as he
sought to defend the controversial data-min-
ing to skeptical Europeans.
Speaking against the soaring backdrop of
the Brandenburg Gate, Obama said that
bold reductions to the U.S. and Russian
nuclear forces were needed to move the two
powers away from the war posture that con-
tinues to seed mistrust between their gov-
ernments.
We may not live in fear of nuclear annihi-
lation, but as long as nuclear weapons exist,
we are not truly safe, Obama said as he
closed a three-day visit to Europe, his rst
trip to the continent since winning re-elec-
tion.
Obama is grappling with both domestic
disputes and foreign policy challenges that
have distracted from his second term agen-
da. Two matters the erce civil war in
Syria and the U.S. governments domestic
surveillance program trailed Obama in
Germany, as well as during the Group of 8
summit in Northern Ireland earlier this
week.
Privacy-protective Germany was particu-
larly eager for answers about the sweeping
programs run by the National Security
Agency. Chancellor Angela Merkel used a
news conference with Obama Wednesday to
appeal for due diligence in evaluating the
privacy concerns, though she avoided a
direct public confrontation with the presi-
dent.
There needs to be proportionality, she
said of the U.S. programs. This is going to
be an ongoing battle.
Obama offered a lengthy defense of the
court-approved surveillance of Internet and
phone records, describing it as a targeted
effort that has saved lives.
We know of at least 50 threats that have
been averted because of this information,
not just in the United States but in some
cases threats here in Germany, he said.
The centerpiece of the presidents visit
was the afternoon speech at the Brandenburg
Gate, where the Berlin Wall once stood,
marking divisions between East and West
Germany. Obama, standing behind a pane of
bulletproof glass, spoke from the gates
East front, a location that would have been
inaccessible to an American president in an
earlier era.
The presidents address drew inevitable
comparisons to John F. Kennedys famous
Ich bin ein Berliner (I am a Berliner)
speech exactly 50 years ago, as well as
Obamas own thunderous welcome when he
arrived in the city as a presidential candidate
in 2008. More than 200,000 people lled
the streets near Berlins Victory Column for
that address, a reection of Europes high
hopes for the rising American political g-
ure.
Now in his fth year as president, Obama
remains popular in Europe. But the crowd
that gathered to hear him speak Wednesday
was far smaller and less exuberant than it
was in 2008 just 4,500 people wilting in
the sun on an unseasonably warm June day.
Obama took off his suit coat as he opened
his remarks, telling the crowd, We can be a
little more informal among friends. Still,
sweat beaded on his face as he read off a
paper copy of his text because of problems
with the teleprompter he normally relies on.
The wide-ranging address enumerated a
litany of challenges facing the world, punc-
tured by Obamas calls for the West to
reignite the spirit that Berlin displayed as
many citizens struggled to reunite the city
during the Cold War.
Todays threats are not as stark as they
were half a century ago, but the struggle for
freedom and security and human dignity, that
struggle goes on, he said. And I come here
to this city of hope because the test of our
time demands the same ghting spirit that
dened Berlin a half-century ago.

Letters to the editor
T
he California Public Records Act,
passed in 1968, was landmark legis-
lation designed to allow public
access to government records, the peoples
business. In tandem with the Ralph M.
Brown Act, passed in 1953, it provides free-
dom of information and establishes the pub-
lics right to participate in government
activity.
Part of the California Public Records Act
requires government agencies to respond to
a public record request within 10 days and
provide a reason for denying a request. This
year, as part of the state Legislatures budget
negotiations,trailer bills were approved to
make these provisions optional, but encour-
age local government agencies to follow
them as best practices.
The idea is that such requests cost the state
government money and they would like to
not have to pay for that. Reaction to the
bills was hot and heavy with many calling
the idea an assault on the publics right to
know. That response, and the scrutiny the
proposal elicited, was warranted. On
Wednesday, legislators reacted by pledging
to address the bill with a confusing back-
track that would maintain the requirement
local governments comply with the act and
take up a constitutional amendment to clari-
fy that the state should not pay for local
compliance with the act. So it comes down
to money.
As it always does. Here we are just days
after state ofcials have nally gotten sen-
sation back in their hands after slapping
each other on the back in self-satisfaction
over passing a budget on time with money
to spare. Except for the money it seeks to
take away from counties for health care and
the fact it doesnt want to pay for a state
mandate of public records any longer. How
much do these requests cost? Probably not
very much and no one in the state Capitol
can put a dollar amount on it. But it seems
to legislators that its local government that
should pay for it even though its a state
mandate. OK, and this was never a problem
until this year?
Year after year after year after year, the
state attempts to nd ways to put the screws
to local governments whether its the
triple ip, vehicle license fees, property tax
grabs and even shoveling prisoners to the
local level. So this should not be too sur-
prising, but the assault on the publics right
to know was a startling tack. Wisely, legis-
lators changed course and are moving to the
constitutional amendment, which requires a
two-thirds vote of the state Senate and
Assembly then voter approval next year
probably with an or else attached. We hate
to see who will draw the short straw in try-
ing to sell voters on that. The state should
pay for a state mandate. And that state man-
date should not be changed in any fashion.
So just drop it.
Women in combat
Editor,
I am a former Navy SEAL and have a
daughter who is a lieutenant in the Army
Reserves. I have no problem with women
ghting among our men. I have no doubt
there are women qualied and tough enough
to pass the rigorous testing to qualify for
Special Forces. My problem with the mili-
tary, as it now stands, is the standards to
qualify physically and mentally are not
equal between men and women. Until the
training is exactly the same for both sexes,
all you will end up with is a diluted, weak-
ened Special Forces.

Praise for Planning
Commissioner Kelly Moran
Editor,
The city of San Mateo owes a debt of
gratitude for the contributions of Kelly
Moran as a planning commissioner.
Recently leaving the commission,
Moran brought a spirit of professionalism
to the the planning process.
Her expertise and insight benetted plan-
ning staff, developers who applied for
approvals and most of all citizens of our
city. Her dedication and study in detail
enhanced the effectiveness of the planning
process.
She is to be admired and respected.
Moran asked the difcult questions and
pressed for clarication by applicants. The
expansion of bicycle access and pedestrian
walkways was often due to her reminders to
the developers and staff to include those
characteristics in their proposals. As a pro-
fessional consultant for water quality and
preservation, she also had special abilities
in judging how any development could
affect the water quality and sanitation of
our creeks and lagoons.
We are all the better for Kelly Morans
multiple terms of service as planning com-
missioner.

Whistleblowing
Editor,
Ademocracy can only exist when the
voters are well informed and can then vote
intelligently. This is surely not the case in
the United States today. Those of us who
get our information from major media are
not well-informed.
I have been very upset at the loss of our
civil rights by the passage of the National
Defense Authorization Act last year. This
legislation contained some very bad parts
inserted in the nance bill. In sections of
the NDAA, the president was given the
power to have any one of us arrested by the
U.S. Army, placed in a military prison for
an indenite period of time where we may
be subjected to enhanced interrogation
(torture) and possible death all without
any charges led against us, or any chance
to defend ourselves.
As I talk to people about this they say,
No way! That cannot be true! These peo-
ple are well-educated and intelligent, but
they dont know what is going on. They
still hold rmly to what they learned in
second grade about our great nation with
freedom and justice for all.
The whistleblowers are brave people with
a strong sense of morals. We need them.
We need someone to let us learn the truth of
what is going on with our government. Our
Constitution has been badly damaged and
our rights have been deleted by votes of our
corrupt Congress.

Editor,
I almost have to chuckle when I hear
Congress screaming about the surveillance
by the NSA.
They run around like chickens in the barn-
yard, rufing their feathers with outrage.
Have they forgotten who put all this into
motion in the rst place? President George
W. Bush pushed the Patriot Act through
after Sept. 11. Have you forgotten that
librarians were instructed to keep tabs on
the books we checked out of the libraries?
Where was the outrage then? Or are the
feathers rufed because Obama is president?
Tsk, tsk.

Irony on steroids
Editor,
Bill Ayers in a recent interview says that
President Obama should be tried for war
crimes for using drones to kill people.
Is there something wrong with me? This
is the same Bill Ayers that killed a cop with
one of his bombs. Many clichs come to
mind but I wont use them. The irony of an
unrepentant terrorist (Bill Ayers) criticizing
our President for doing what he did is over-
whelming.

Political animals
E
very politician tends to have a pet
project but, for one Mexican cat,
its the other way around.
Morris is running for mayor of the eastern
Mexico city Xalapa on a platform that
includes lling potholes with leftover litter
and a campaign slogan most two-legged
creatures can get behind: Tired of voting
for rats? Vote for a
cat.
Morris isnt the
only non-human in
the political
menagerie of
Mexico. Chon the
donkey is running
for mayor in Ciudad
Juarez tting for
those who already
think elected of-
cials are, pardon me,
asses; a chicken named Tina is running in
Tepic again, perfect for those who think
this is just another case of birds of a politi-
cal feather ocking together; Maya the cat
and Tintan the dog are also waging political
runs in their respective cities.
If this gaggle of candidates actually tri-
umph, politics really will be a zoo. They
will also join Stubbs, an elder statesman
among political animals. Stubbs, a cat, has
been the honorary mayor of Talkeetna,
Alaska for more than 15 years. Guess they
dont believe in term limits up north even if
voters do believe four-legged leadership is
better than that of the human variety. Over
in Nova Scotia, Tuxedo Stan also made a bid
for ofce but sadly the cat lost to an oppo-
nent without a tail or natural black-tie attire.
Since most humans of voting age dont
live in any of those cities, we dont really
have a dog in these ghts outside of some-
what wishing Fido or Fluffy would try col-
laring an elected gig around here. Why not?
Politics is a game of claws and hisses on
some days; naps and yawns on others. Isnt
a cat as mayor then purr-fect, other than
sending tongues wagging over his or her
annoying habits like swatting at the gavel
or whisker cleaning during public comment?
Or canines even isnt one fat cat politi-
cian or another always in the doghouse for
not staying on a shorter leash when it
comes to spending tax dollars or favoring
personal interests?
But personal grooming and a fondness for
using staff reports as litter box liners aside,
there is another recent controversy that con-
stituents should consider when weighing
whether endorsing a candidate lacking
upright walking capability and an oppos-
able thumb would be a complete catastro-
phe. That issue is magic cheese. Yes,
cheese.
This particular cheese is the veterinarian-
invented vehicle for delivering medical mar-
ijuana to sick and pained pets. Think THC
meets TLC for beloved animal companions.
Some might argue politicians went to pot a
long time ago so who really cares if the
furry versions partake a little in some mari-
juana muenster or hash havarti. Yet even
with drug laws bending, few political hope-
fuls are comfortable admitting even a few
youthful indulgences. Former President Bill
Clinton is the classic example, having tried
sidestepping a complete confession with
the now-famous bit about never inhaling
during his bouts of experimentation.
So what happens if these beastly public
servants try a little cannabis with their can-
do attitudes? Alittle magic cheese certainly
doesnt put any politician, even those of
animal variety, on the same footing as say
Marion Barry but chances are good the fur
will still y. On the other hand, perhaps an
electorate that can overlook a candidates
propensity toward eas and mange is will-
ing to accept legalized drug use if it is
accompanied by dogged determination.
When it comes to legislative priorities,
there should be bigger sh to fry.

NEW YORK Financial markets
shuddered Wednesday after the Federal
Reserve said it could start scaling back
its huge economic stimulus program
later this year and end it by the middle
of 2014.
The reaction by investors -- the Dow
Jones industrial average fell more than
200 points and the yield on the 10-year
Treasury note rose to its highest in 15
months -- showed just how much
investors have come to depend on the
Feds easy money policies that have
helped send the stock market up 141
percent in the past four years.
Any whiff theres going to be reduc-
tion in the (Feds) ammunition is met
with selling, said James Camp, man-
aging director of xed income at Eagle
Asset Management.
The selloff was broad. All 10 sectors
in the Standards & Poors 500 were
down.
The Feds $85 billion in monthly
bond purchases have helped the U.S.
economy by keeping long-term inter-
est rates low and encouraging borrow-
ing and investing. Now, it looks like
the Fed is closer to ending that pro-
gram as the U.S. economy improves.
Abrighter outlook for the U.S. econ-
omy normally would convince people
to buy stocks, not sell them. But Talley
Leger, a strategist at Macro Vision
Research, said investors have become
hooked on Fed stimulus and so sold.
Markets are asking for expansion of
already stimulative policies, and
theyre not getting it, he said. Its
like a drug supplier and an addict.
The stock market drifted lower for
most of the day, ahead of a scheduled
statement from the Fed and a press con-
ference by Chairman Ben Bernanke.
The Standard & Poors 500 was down
about half a percentage point shortly
after the Fed released its statement.
Then Bernanke took questions from
reporters. In response to one he said
that the Fed could scale back its bond
purchases later this year, and the sell-
ing accelerated.
Bonds and stocks both slumped even
though Bernanke said that the central
bank would only cut back on its stimu-
lus once the economy had improved
sufciently and was in no hurry to raise
rates.
There is going to be some nervous-
ness as we adjust to a more normal eco-
nomic environment, said Brad
Sorensen, director of market and sector
research at Charles Schwab. Both the
stock and bond markets are adjusting to
a Federal Reserve that isnt going to
have the spigots wide open.
Bond yields spiked as investors
anticipated a slowdown in the Feds
purchases.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note jumped to 2.31 percent, its high-
est in 15 months. The yield on the note
started the day at 2.21 percent.
An index measuring the dollar
against six other currencies surged 1
percent. The dollar rose against the
Japanese yen, the euro and other cur-
rencies as traders anticipated higher
U.S. rates.
The S&P 500 index fell 22.88
points, or 1.4 percent, to 1,628.93.
Declines were led by high-dividend
stocks like telecommunications and
utilities, which are more sensitive to
rising interest rates. Investors had
bought these stocks for their dividend
income when bond yields were at record
low levels.
AT&T and Verizon, the stocks with
the highest dividends in the Dow, fell
the most in the index. Verizon slumped
$1.50, or 2.9 percent, to $50.05 and
AT&T fell 92 cents, or 2.5 percent, to
$35.25.
For weeks, investors have been try-
ing to gure out when the central bank
will start to ease back on its bond pur-
chases. They overreacted Wednesday to
the possibility of less stimulus, some
analysts said. The economy will be
strong enough for the Fed to start cut-
ting back this year.
Stocks slide on Fed bond purchase news
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Wednesday on the
New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market:
NYSE
Alcatel-Lucent SA, up 6 cents at $1.93
The telecommunications equipment manufacturer said that it launched
a major effort to shed businesses and jobs to cut costs.
FedEx Corp., up $1.10 at $100.58
The package delivery companys fourth-quarter prot fell 45 percent,
but the results beat Wall Street expectations.
The Mens Wearhouse Inc., down 43 cents at $37.04
The mens clothing company said that it red the founder and face of the
company, executive chairman George Zimmer.
La-Z-Boy Inc., down 51 cents at $19.77
The Monroe,Mich.-based furniture maker reported that its scal fourth-
quarter net income fell compared with last years quarter.

Adobe Systems Inc., up $2.42 at $45.78
The software maker said prot shrank in its scal second quarter, but its
Creative Cloud subscriptions kept rising.
DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc., up 64 cents at $24.95
The animation studio, known for its Shrekand Madagascarlms, said
it expects revenue from TV shows to double.
Tetra Tech Inc., down $3.64 at $23.09
The engineering services company said it will take a loss in the scal
third quarter as it absorbs about $95 million in charges.
Pool Corp., down $3.15 at $51.57
The distributer of supplies for swimming pools cut its prot estimate for

Mens Wearhouse
ousts founder, pitchman Zimmer
NEWYORK Mens Wearhouse doesnt like the way its
founder looks anymore.
The mens clothier said Wednesday
that it red executive chairman and face
of the company George Zimmer, 64,
who has appeared in many of its TV
commercials with the slogan Youre
going to like the way you look. I guar-
antee it.
The company announced the move in
a terse statement that gave no reason
for the abrupt ring of Zimmer, who
built Mens Wearhouse Inc. from one
small Texas store using a cigar box as a cash register to
one of North Americas largest mens clothing sellers with
1,143 locations.
The ring appears to end the career of one of TVs most
recognizable pitchmen. Zimmers gravelly-voiced slogan
became almost a cultural touchstone, and his natty but
down-to-earth charm made dressing sharply feel more
accessible to men.
Zimmer said in a written statement that over the past
several months he and the board of directors disagreed
about the companys direction.
Over the last 40 years, I have built The Mens
Wearhouse into a multi-billion dollar company with amaz-
ing employees and loyal customers who value the prod-
ucts and service they receive at The Mens Wearhouse, he
said in a statement. But he noted that instead of fostering
the kind of dialogue in the boardroom that has, in part,
contributed to our success, the board has inappropriately
chosen to silence my concerns by terminating me as an
executive ofcer.
Nektar shares rise on safety study of pain drug
NEWYORK Shares of Nektar Therapeutics advanced
Wednesday after the company reported data from a clinical
trial of NKTR-181, a pain drug that Nektar says may be
less addictive than older medications.
The company said NKTR-181 was rated similar to place-
bo and below oxycodone on measurements of drug lik-
ing and how high patients felt after taking it.
Nektar says its drug enters the brain slowly, reducing
the feeling of euphoria that is associated with abuse and
addiction to drugs. The result comes from a trial intended
to test the drugs abuse potential.
NKTR-181 is an opioid pain drug intended to be taken
twice a day. Nektar is testing it in mid-stage clinical tri-
als.
Oxycodone is the main ingredient in Purdue Pharmas
pain drug OxyContin, which was taken off the market in
2010 because of widespread concerns about people who
were abusing the drug to get high. OxyContin was
replaced with a newer version that was designed to be hard-
er to abuse, and other companies have also been studying
and marketing abuse-resistant pain drugs.

NEWYORK Los Angeles school
system, the second largest in the
United States, is ordering iPads for all
its students, handing Apple a major
success in its quest to make the tablet
computer a replacement for text-
books.
The Los Angeles Board of Education
on Tuesday approved the purchase of
$30 million worth of iPads as the rst
part of a multi-year commitment. It
found that the iPad was the least expen-
sive option that met its specications.
The initial order is for more than
31,000 iPads, Apple said. The Los
Angeles Unied School District has
more than 640,000 students in kinder-
garten through 12th grade.
The textbooks will be delivered
through an application from Pearson,
a major publisher, rather than through
Apples own iBooks. Apple and its
publisher partners launched a suite of
textbooks for iBooks in early 2012.
According to biographer Walter
Isaacson, changing the textbook mar-
ket was a pet project of Apple co-
founder Steve Jobs, even in the last
year of his life. At a dinner in early
2011, Jobs told News Corp. Chairman
Rupert Murdoch that paper textbooks
could be made obsolete by the iPad.
Jobs wanted to circumvent the state
certification process for textbook
sales by having Apple release text-
books for free on the tablet computer.
Apple said 10 million iPads are in
use in schools today. The company
said that when the rollout is complet-
ed, Los Angeles will be the largest
school district in the nation to provide
each student with an iPad.

What a game: Heat and Spurs clash was a classic
I
want to thank the Golden
State Warriors for pulling me
back into the NBAplayoffs
an event I havent really cared
about for several years. If not for
the Warriors wild ride during the
regular season and the playoff, I
might have missed Tuesday
nights Game 6 of the nals
between the San Antonio Spurs
and the Miami Heat.
I wasnt able
to catch the
entire game, but
I did see most of
the second half
and all of the
fourth quarter
and overtime
and I have to
say, I havent
seen an NBA
game that exciting in years.
The only way Game 6 could
have been any better is if it was a
Game 7. There were miracle shots
from both sides and Miamis
LeBron James just intensied the
comparison to Michael Jordan
after James went absolutely nuts
in the fourth quarter, all but will-
ing his team to victory, much like
Jordan did throughout his career.
James was far from the only
hero for the Heat. Old man Ray
Allen knocked down arguably the
biggest 3-pointer of his career,
when he drained a fall-away 3
from the corner with mere seconds
left in regulation to tie the game
and send it into overtime.
This was after it appeared San
Antonios Tony Parker had hit the
biggest shot of the game with his
step-back, fall-away, one-footed
3-pointer.
The Heat then had to rally from
an early decit in overtime and
then, after securing the lead, got
the two biggest defensive plays
of the night from center Chris
Bosh, who blocked a pair of
shots on the Spurs nal two pos-
sessions as they tried to rally

MIAMI LeBron James could
not sleep after Game 6.
Imagine, then, how frayed his
emotions will be going into Game
7.
So much is at stake. Legacies,
for so many players, James includ-
ed. The NBA championship.
Whether the season was a success
or a bust. How he will be portrayed
over the next few months. How
history will judge a Miami Heat
team that won 27 straight games
in one stretch, 66 games in the
regular season and now 81 games
overall.
Although the Heat will insist
otherwise, the common belief is
that it all hinges on James shoul-
ders. And the four-time NBA MVP
wouldnt have it any other way
when his Heat take on the San
Antonio Spurs in Game 7 of the
NBAFinals on Thursday night.
I want to go down as one of the
greatest. I want our team to go
down as one of the greatest teams.
And we have an opportunity to do
that, James said. Hasnt been
many teams to win back-to-back
championships. Its so hard. Its
the hardest thing. I said last year it
was the hardest thing Ive ever
done, winning my rst. Last year
dont even come close to what
weve gone through in this post-
season and in these Finals.
James was so weary afterward
that he had trouble pulling himself
up from the chair where he con-
ducted postgame interviews. But
on Wednesday, even after a night
of no sleep everything goes
through your mind after a game,
he said James said he was
already feeling more spry than he
was the night before. More rest,
more treatment, some time at
home with family and friends and a
scheduled 9 p.m. date to watch
SpongeBob with his kids, James
gured that was the right formula
to get ready for Game 7.
His second ring is 48 minutes
away. If it comes, it will be earned.
First of all, Im blessed, man. I
dont even know how I got here,
James said. I wasnt supposed to
be in the NBA, if you go by statis-
tics and things of me growing up
where I grew up. Every time I go
into my locker room and see the
James on the back of an NBAjer-
sey, Im like, Wow. No criticism
can deter me from playing this
game because of that. Im not sup-
posed to be here.
MIAMI Game 7s do more than
settle championships. They dene
legacies.
No matter what happens
Thursday night, LeBron James and
the Miami Heat, and Tim Duncans
San Antonio Spurs have already
won NBAtitles and secured a place
in history.
Now is their opportunity to ele-
vate it.
The truly memorable teams won
the hard way, and that will be the
case for the one celebrating at cen-
ter court this time. Its either a
Heat repeat, possible only after
James led them back from what
seemed certain elimination in the
closing seconds of Game 6, or the
Spurs shaking off as gut-wrench-
ing a loss as a team can have to
become just the fourth club to win
a Game 7 of the NBAFinals on the
road.
As a competitor you love it,
because you know you have an
opportunity and its up to you,
Heat guard Ray Allen said. We
have a chance in our building to
make something great. All of our
legacies are tied to this moment,
this game. Its something our kids
will be able to talk about that they
were a part of. Forever will remem-
ber these moments, so we want to
not live and have any regrets.
Allen played in the game the last
time the NBAs season went down
to the very last day, the Boston
Celtics fading at the nish and
falling 83-79 to the Los Angeles
Lakers in 2010. That made home
teams 14-3 in nals Game 7s, with
no road team winning since
Washington beat Seattle in 1978.
Overcoming those odds, not to
mention the NBAs winningest
team, would make this more mem-
orable than the Spurs previous
four titles, though this is a fran-
chise that never dwells too much
on the past or looks too far into
the future.
All that matters is now.
You know what, its all about
just winning the title. Its not
about situation or what has led up
to it, Duncan said.
LeBron excited for title-deciding Game 7

Giants comeback to win
Italy rallies to beat Japan
Stanley Cup even at 2
Texas pounds the As
SAN FRANCISCO Gregor Blanco has
learned to think like a run producer.
Normally a leadoff hitter, Blanco has
been used in the middle of the order more
often. When he comes up with runners on,
he has the mindset to drive in runs rather
than just trying to get on base.
Blanco had a pinch hit, two-run triple in
the seventh inning, leading the San
Francisco Giants to a 4-2 victory over the
San Diego Padres on Wednesday.
When they want me batting sixth or sev-
enth, it means they want me to drive in
runs, Blanco said. So when I came up to
hit I told myself I had better drive these
people in.
With a big part of its offense on the dis-
abled list, the Giants have turned to players
like Blanco, a career .383 hitter with run-
ners in scoring position, to pick up the
slack.
Were getting good games from a lot of
guys, Giants catcher Buster Posey said.
Brandon Belt and Marco Scutaro also
drove in runs as the Giants won their sec-
ond straight following a three-game slide.
Scutaro and Hunter Pence each had two hits.
Gregor has played well all season,
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. He
comes through in the clutch, has speed and
is a tremendous defender. Hes just getting
better and better.
Will Venable and Jesus Guzman each hit
home runs for the Padres, who have lost two
straight after a seven-game winning streak.
Guzzie is a guy who is seeing the ball
well and hes got the strength to hit it out
of the park, Padres manager Bud Black
said.
Madison Bumgarner (7-4) won his third
straight start after allowing two runs and
three hits over seven innings. He walked
four and struck out eight.
Padres starter Eric Stults gave up two runs
and seven hits over 6 1-3 innings. He
walked two and struck out three.
Stults pitched great, Black said. It was
a well-pitched game by both guys. They
have a good pitching staff and we feel ours
is rounding into form.
BOSTON Brent Seabrooks goal 9:51
into overtime lifted the Chicago
Blackhawks to a wild 6-5 victory over the
Boston Bruins on Wednesday night and tied
the Stanley Cup nals through four games.
Seabrook red a 45-foot shot past Bruins
goalie Tuukka Rask to end Game 4 and send
the series back to Chicago tied 2-2.
Seabrook also scored the overtime goal in
Game 7 of the Western Conference semi-
nals to eliminate the Detroit Red Wings.
Only 12 total goals were scored in the rst
three games before the teams combined for
11 on Wednesday night.
Game 5 of the best-of-seven series is
Saturday night.
It was the third overtime game of the
series. The Blackhawks won the opener 4-3
in three overtimes, and the Bruins won 2-1
in the rst overtime period in Game 2.
Boston grabbed the series lead Monday
night 2-0 behind Rasks third shutout of the
postseason.
Seabrooks shot from the right went to
the far side of Rask, who appeared to be
screened.
Trailing 4-3 after the second period, the
Bruins tied it on Patrice Bergerons second
goal of the game at 2:05 of the third period.
Patrick Sharp gave Chicago a 5-4 lead at
11:19 of the third period with the
Blackhawks rst power-play goal in 30
chances, but Boston came right back to tie
it 55 seconds later on Johnny Boychuks
hard 40-foot shot.
All ve Bruins goals were to the glove
side of goalie Corey Crawford.
Jonathan Toews broke his scoring slump
in Chicagos three-goal onslaught in the
second period against Rask.
ARLINGTON, Texas David Murphy had
three hits and scored twice to snap out of a
long slump, and the Texas Rangers beat the
AL West-leading Oakland Athletics 9-4 on
Wednesday night.
Justin Grimm (6-5) trailed when he threw
his last pitch, but the Rangers scored twice
in the bottom of the fth to go ahead and
make him the rst Texas starter this month
to get a victory.
Rangers starters had gone 17 consecutive
games without a win since Derek Holland
beat Kansas City on May 31. The teams
previous longest such stretch was 16 in a
row in 1975.
Nelson Cruz, hitting third for the rst
time this season, had three hits and drove in
two runs, and Lance Berkman homered for
the Rangers.
Murphy had only seven hits in his previ-
ous 51 at-bats before hits in three consecu-
tive innings two singles before a double
in the seventh.
The nine runs were the most for Texas
since a 9-5 win over Arizona on May 30.
Their 14 hits were the most since a night
later against Kansas City in the game
Holland won.
RECIFE, Brazil Italy rallied from a
two-goal deficit to beat Japan 4-3
Wednesday, earning a spot in the
Confederations Cup seminals.
First-half substitute Sebastian Giovinco
scored the winner in the 86th minute of an
entertaining match at the Arena
Pernambuco, pounding home a cross from
Claudio Marchisio.
After a dismal start for the Azzurri that saw
Japan score twice in the opening 33 min-
utes, Daniele De Rossi pulled one back with
a header in the 41st. Japan defender Atsuto
Uchida scored an own-goal in the 50th and
Mario Balotelli converted a penalty kick in
the 52nd.
Japan had taken the lead with a penalty
kick by Keisuke Honda in the 21st.
Manchester United midfielder Shinji
Kagawa doubled the lead for Japan in the
33rd after a defensive error.
Shinji Okazaki made it 3-3 in the 69th
with a header in extreme heat.
The climate was incredible, De Rossi
said. This was one of the toughest matches
of my career.

HAIRCUT (reg.$14)
from a three-point decit.
Before the game, Bosh said San
Antonio sharpshooter Danny
Green would not get open looks
in Game 6. How tting was it
then to see Bosh block Greens
potential game-tying 3 on the
nal play of the game?
How will Game 7 turn out?
Well, history suggests the Heat
have the edge. No home team
has a lost a Game 7 in the finals
since the Washington Bullets
beat the Seattle Supersonics in
the 1978 championship series.
More recent history suggests,
however, the Spurs are primed for
their fth NBAtitle. Neither team
in this years nals has won two
games in a row: San Antonio won
games 1, 3 and 5, while Miami
was victorious in games 2,4,6.
The pattern would suggest the
Spurs knock off the Heat.
Normally, I wouldnt give the
Spurs much of a chance in Game 7
after letting Game 6 slip through
their ngers. They held a double-
digit lead early in the fourth quar-
ter and held a lead early in over-
time, only to see the Heat rally
back to force OT and then seal the
win.
Unlike the 2002 Giants, who I
knew were done after losing Game
6 to Anaheim in the World Series,
I dont get that sense of impend-
ing doom from San Antonio. Its
not so much that the Spurs lost
the game as it was the Heat that
won it. The Spurs are too battle-
hardened to not ush Game 6 and
turn their entire attention to
Game 7. As long as Tim Duncan,
Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard
suit up for the Spurs, they have a
chance.
All we can hope for is a Game 7
that is as exciting as Game 6.
What will these two squads do for
an encore?

Last week, I wrote about the
San Mateo National Little League
Indians and their quest for an
undefeated season.
After going through the regular
season with a 21-0 record, the
Indians went unbeaten in their
league playoffs and were the top
seed heading into the Mayors
Cup, which featured teams from
both SMNLL and San Mateo
American Little League.
The championship game Friday
was an all-SMNLL affair as the
Indians took on their main rivals
Yankees, which were one of the
few teams to push the Indians this
season.
In the championship game, the
Indians cruised past their nemesis
7-0 to nish up with a perfect 29-
0 record.
Expect to see some of those
Indians appearing in the District
52 All Star tournament that
begins next week.

Dons baseball team and, despite
arm issues that limited his pitch-
ing, still did enough to be named
to the All-Bay Division second
team as a utility player.
All of this adds up to Severson
being named the Daily Journals
Boys Athlete of the Year.
For the most part, year (I had a
successful year athletically),
Severson said. I set goals pretty
high for myself. If you aim high,
you get pretty good results.
Steve Sell, Aragons longtime
football coach and athletic direc-
tor, has coached a number of amaz-
ing football players during his
time. He puts Severson in that
group.
Every now and then youll get a
kid who is just a great athlete,
Sell said. As soon as he started
(playing) football, he started scor-
ing touchdowns. It became so
apparent this year he could make
plays. He single-handedly kept us
in so many games. It was just
uncanny. He broke tackles and
scored touchdowns. He certainly
doesnt look like a guy who can
break tackles. There are some guys
who get near the goal line, they
just nd a way to get in it.
Sell credits Seversons success
on the football eld to his success
on the soccer pitch. As a striker,
Seversons task was simple: score
goals. He did that with aplomb
this season.
He was invaluable, said
Aragon soccer coach Greg
Markoulakis. Aldo was hurt com-
ing into preseason. We missed
him. When he was healthy, the
team just took off.
Paired with Ocean Division co-
player of the year Ranier
Plantinos, the Dons had one of the
most dynamic attacks in the PAL.
Playing up top as the lone target
man most of the time, Severson
never got frustrated and appeared
to relish the opportunity to take a
defender off the dribble. Once he
had a step on his defender,
Severson was tough to knock off
the ball and, when he had the
opportunity to score, he seldom
missed.
You have to be strong, you
have to be patient . He was the
perfect center forward,
Markoulakis said. Hes a goal
scorer who can play at the next
level. There is no question in my
mind if he was pursuing soccer, he
would have been snatched up, at
least Division II.
After soccer, Severson was
poised to have a big year on the
baseball diamond. Slated to be one
of the Dons front-line starters on
the mound, Severson saw his
innings limited because of arm
troubles.
My arm, throughout the sea-
son, never felt amazing, so I never
really had the command or speed
that I wanted, Severson said. I
had a little tightness last year as
well. I guess I didnt spend enough
time in the weight room.
Aragon manager Lenny Souza
sees it differently.
You ask him, he probably
believes he had a bad season,
Souza said. But if you ask me, he
had a monster year.
Souza said despite some issues
on the mound, it didnt affect
Seversons bat, as he batted over
.400 on the season.
He was denitely the leader of
the team and he was the guy we
wanted up in big situations,
Souza said. He had a lot of big
moments as a senior. He was awe-
some.
But Seversons ability to adapt
to different sports and different
positions meant he was not des-
tined for the bench. The Aragon
coaching staff transitioned
Severson to rst base, a position
he had played only a little bit. He
took to it like a seasoned vet.
I played a little bit there last
year and during the summer, but
that was the rst time on a consis-
tent basis, Severson said.
Said Souza: He could fall off a
stool and play any position on the
eld. Hes such an athlete.
Its hard to say what sport might
be Seversons best because he
plays all three with a uidity and
poise rarely seen by three-sport
athletes. All three helped
Severson become the athlete he is
and he wouldnt have given up any
of them.
I have fun playing all three
sports. I cant really put it on (one
over the other). Its not just the
sport, but the group of guys I
played with, Severson said. It
all comes back to having fun. You
have fun, but you go out there and
try to be your best and try to win.
Losing isnt fun.
Sell, for one, is glad Severson
didnt specialize in just one sport,
like so many high school athletes
do these days.
Im glad he didnt decide to
focus on one (sport) in high
school, Sell said. I think its
way too early to determine what
his best sport is.
Severson will get the chance to
nd out what sport is his best at
the next level as he plans on play-
ing football at College of San
Mateo in the fall and baseball in
the spring at Skyline College.
Severson never thought of spe-
cializing. Not only because of the
fun factor but because he believes
playing different sports keeps
things fresh.
You get a break from the other
sports, Severson said. Its a lot
less pressure than specializing on
one sport and thinking this is the
only route I have, that its all or
nothing.
Said Sell: Hes a once-in-a-
decade athlete.

Neymar leads Brazil
to 2-0 win over Mexico
FORTALEZA, Brazil Neymar
scored one goal and set up another
for Jo to lift Brazil to a 2-0 win
over Mexico on Wednesday and
secure a spot in the seminals of
the Confederations Cup for the
host nation.
The Brazilian striker scored his
second of the tournament with a
left-footed volley from just inside
the penalty box in the ninth
minute after Mexican defenders
failed to clear a cross, and then
slipped past two defenders to help
Jo score an easy goal in second-
half injury time.
Im happy to have played well
again, Neymar said. But what
was more important was that the
team had a good performance. We
are improving game after game and
we are getting better.
This gives us more condence
for the next matches.
Mexico, which had won two of
its last three matches against
Brazil, fought strongly but had lit-
tle finishing power up front.
Mexico was eliminated in the
World Cup warm-up competition.
Brazil opened with a 3-0 win
over Japan. Mexico lost 2-1 to
Italy.
Brazil and Italy lead the group
with six points.

SANTA CLARA The San
Francisco 49ers signed defensive
end Justin Smith to a two-year
contract extension Wednesday to
keep one of their most important
defensive players off the free-
agent market next offseason.
Smith, 33, has been the anchor
to one of the NFLs top defenses
the past two seasons, helping the
49ers make it to the NFC champi-
onship game following the 2011
season and to the Super Bowl last
season.
He was eligible to become an
unrestricted free agent after the
2013 season but had no interest in
testing the market and negotiated
the extension himself with gener-
al manager Trent Baalke to remain
under contract through 2015.
I wanted to be here. That makes
it simple, Smith said. They
wanted me to be here and I wanted
to be here so that makes it easy.
Smith originally signed a six-
year deal to join the 49ers in 2008
and has been a key part of the
building process that turned the
franchises fortunes around after
an eight-year stretch without a
playoff berth.
Smith was a rst-team All-Pro
defensive tackle and second-team
defensive end in 2011 in a sign of
his versatility. He was a second-
team selection at both positions
last season and has made four
straight Pro Bowls.
Justins All-Pro contributions
on the eld, as well as his leader-
ship on and off the eld, are inte-
gral to our success as a team,
Baalke said in a statement. Justin
consistently sets a standard of
excellence, serving as an example
for everyone within our organiza-
tion. This contract allows Justin
to nish his career as a 49er!
Since joining the 49ers in 2008,
Smith has helped the team rank
second in rushing yards allowed
per game (94.4) and yards per carry
(3.6) over that time span. He has
536 tackles, 32 sacks, one inter-
ception, seven forced fumbles,
four fumble recoveries and nine
passes defensed since joining the
49ers.
Smith missed the final 2 1/2
games of the regular season in
2012 with a partially torn left tri-
ceps, ending his streak of 185
consecutive starts.
He returned for the postseason
but was somewhat limited during a
playoff run that ended with a 34-31
loss to Baltimore in the Super
Bowl.
He had surgery after the season
and expects to be fully recovered
by the start of training camp next
month.
The good news is its healed.
Its close to 100 percent for what I
want it to be, he said. I feel good
about it, feel condent about the
season. Ive never been injured
like that. I didnt know anything
with the rehab process, what to
expect, what coming out of sur-
gery would be like. Its all been
really good.
Smith has always prided himself
on his durability that allows him
to play almost every snap at a
physically grueling position
where many players rotate in and
out of the game to stay fresh.

WORLD
Few options for Brazil
leader in face of protests
SAO PAULO With massive protests by
middle-class Brazilians demanding whole-
sale government reforms, people all over
this continent-sized country have reached a
verdict on the streets and online: The giant
has awakened.
President Dilma Rousseff has tried to pla-
cate the crowds by supporting their right to
protest, and the Sao Paulo municipal gov-
ernment has rescinded the 10-cent hike in
bus and subway fares that
sparked the demonstra-
tions in the rst place.
But as the protests grow
even bigger, with two
major marches called for
Thursday, the Brazilian
government seems at a
loss over how to address
the sweeping demands of
its people.
Around the world

MOGADISHU, Somalia Seven al-Qaida-
linked militants on a suicide mission
attacked the U.N. compound Wednesday with
a truck bomb and then poured inside, killing
at least 13 people before dying in the assault.
At least three foreigners were slain during
the raid in the Somali capital of Mogadishu,
where the United Nations expanded its pres-
ence this year, about 18 months after Islamic
insurgents were pushed from the seaside city.
The militant group al-Shabab claimed
responsibility for the attack, calling the
U.N. a merchant of death.
African Union forces expelled al-Shabab
from Mogadishu in August 2011, ending
years of daily violence that had caused the
rest of the world to shun the capital for two
decades. After the ouster of al-Shabab, the
international community had started trick-
ling back into the capital, and the U.N. began
moving in its personnel from Kenya, a
process that accelerated in recent weeks.
Wednesdays attack, however, underscores
the fragile security situation and will force
the U.N. and embassies to review safety
plans and decide if they have the resources to
withstand a sustained assault from al-Shabab.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who
expressed outrage over the attack, commend-
ed the U.N. security guards who defended the
compound, said U.N. deputy spokesman
Eduardo del Buey.
The U.N. Security Council later Wednesday
reiterated its willingness to take action
against those whose behavior threatens the
peace, stability or security of Somalia.
Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the
U.N., condemned the brazen assault on
civilians working for peace.
Somali Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon
said he was appalled by such barbaric vio-
lence. An African Union ofcial, Mahamet
Saleh Annadif, condemned the cowardly
attack and sent condolences to the families of
the victims.
The attack began about 11:30 a.m. when
the seven al-Shabab militants from what the
group called its martyrdom brigade blew up
an explosives-laden truck at the gates of the
U.N. compound and gunmen rushed in, said a
U.N. ofcial who insisted on anonymity
because he was not an ofcial spokesman.

HAVANA The United States and Cuba
have agreed to resume bilateral talks on
migration issues next month, a State
Department official said Wednesday, the
latest evidence of a thaw in chilly rela-
tions between the Cold War enemies.
Havana and Washington just wrapped up
a round of separate negotiations aimed at
restarting direct mail service, which has
been suspended since 1963. Both sets of
talks have been on hold in recent years in
a dispute over the fate of U.S. government
subcontractor Alan Gross, who is serving
a 15-year jail sentence in Havana after he
was caught bringing communications
equipment onto the island illegally.
The migration talks will be held in
Washington on July 17. The State
Department official, who was not author-
ized to discuss the matter publically,
spoke on condition of anonymity.
Representatives from the Department
of State are scheduled to meet with repre-
sentatives of the Cuban government to
discuss migration issues, the official
said, adding that the talks were consis-
tent with our interest in promoting greater
freedoms and respect for human rights in
Cuba.
Word of the jump-started talks sparked
an angry reaction from Cuban-American
Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of
Florida, who blasted the Obama adminis-
tration for what she saw as a policy of
appeasement.
First we get news that the Obama State
Department is speaking with a top Castro
regime diplomat. Then comes the
announcement that the administration is
restarting talks with the dictatorship
regarding direct mail between both coun-
tries, Ros-Lehtinen said. Now we hear
that migration talks will be restarted. Its
concession after concession from the
Obama administration.
Since taking office, Obama has relaxed
travel and remittance rules for Cuban
Americans and made it far easier for others
to visit the island for cultural, educational
and religious reasons.
But Obama has continued to criticize the
government of President Raul Castro for
repression of basic civil and human
rights, and his senior aides have offered
little praise for a series of economic and
social reforms the Cuban leader has insti-
tuted in recent years.

Gardeners living in cold northern cli-
mates often have plant envy. They lament
the fact that many plants growing in warmer
regions of the country will not grow in their
gardens.
When I have visitors from areas of the
country colder than my zone 6b garden, they
often ask how they might be able to coax a
few of the plants they see growing in my
garden into theirs. They tend to be particu-
larly interested in the g trees they see in
my vegetable garden or the camellias grow-
ing in my shade garden.
They strategize about ways to push the
limits of the plants hardiness. Perhaps if I
wrap them in winter, they say, or Do you
think if I dig them up in the fall and keep
them in the garage until spring they would
be OK?
The desire to grow plants that dont thrive
in your garden zone isnt limited to people
living in regions of the country with harsh
winters. Afriend in Seattle bemoans the fact
that he cant grow a decent tomato because
summers there dont get hot enough.
Last week I was visiting a friend who had
just bought a new home in Minneapolis,
where winters are notoriously cold and
long. The gardens on the property had not
been tended in many years, and my friend
asked me to help assess which plants should
be kept and which should be replaced. When
we went out to the south side of the house, I
saw a sight that would make any gardener
green with envy; a 50-foot long hedge of
40-year-old peony bushes. They were in full

Smart irrigation is becoming a hot land-
scaping specialty as groundwater aquifers are
increasingly sucked dry.
Thirsty lawns, energy production, and
expanding wet industries like hydraulic
fracture mining and farm irrigation are vying
for water resources, leading to tougher water-
ing restrictions and higher prices.
The EPA is moving from encouragement
to enforcement on the municipal, commer-
cial level, said Jeff Gibson, landscape busi-
ness manager for Ball Horticultural Co. in
West Chicago, Ill. Many new municipal
ordinances in the country dictate the types of
heads (low pressure, low volume sprin-
klers, typically) that may be used with new
installations.
Numerous states and some municipalities
also are starting to offer tax incentives for
installing low-water-use irrigation systems,
Gibson said.
Water shortages already impact every con-
tinent, according to the United Nations
Department of Economic and Social Affairs.
Around 1.2 billion people, or almost one-
fth of the worlds population, live in areas
of physical scarcity, and 500 million people
are approaching this situation.
Depleted water supplies are both a natural
and human-made phenomenon, the agency
says. There is enough freshwater on the
planet for six billion people but it is dis-
tributed unevenly and too much of it is wast-
ed, polluted or unsustainably managed.
Planet, the national landscape industry
association, lists ve strategies for smarter
watering:
Making your soil healthier. Break up and
amend the soil 12 to 18 inches deep so plant
roots can penetrate deeper. The most impor-
tant thing in landscaping is soil preparation
and choosing plants suited to the micro-cli-
mate where theyre going, said Kurt Bland,
a Planet spokesman and president of Bland
Landscaping Co. in Apex, N.C.
Grouping plants with similar water needs
together. Doing so will create less stress on
the plants, which will help keep them dis-
ease-free under low water conditions, the
trade association says.
Choosing the right grasses for lawns.
Turf grass is incredibly resilient and geneti-
cally geared to go dormant in drought condi-
tions, a Planet handout says. Ask a profes-
sional for what drought tolerant species will
do well in your lawn based on sun exposure
and soil type.
Creating an irrigation plan that includes
reclaimed water and low-consumption drip
systems. Drip irrigation, while saving
water, can increase vegetable yields and
plant growth, said Robert Kourik, author of
Drip Irrigation for Every Landscape and All
Climates (Metamorphic Press, 2009.) The
improper use of irrigation creates a too-wet
and too-dry cycle. This adds more stress to
the roots and less-than-ideal growth. Drip
irrigation promotes the best growth possi-
ble.
Mulching, which retains moisture,
smothers weeds and adds nutrients to the
soil.
Water rates as they increase are getting
peoples attention, Bland said. Ordinances
requiring monitors limiting how much water
can be used also seem to be working.
Saving water: Five steps to smarter irrigating
bloom and were the largest, healthiest look-
ing peonies I have ever seen.
My friend, who is not a gardener, asked
me if they were worth keeping. If you
remove them, I will shoot you, I said jok-
ingly. I instructed him to cut a large bunch
and bring them into the house. Once he
smelled their intoxicating and unmistak-
able fragrance, he instantly understood
their value in his landscape.
Peonies are one of those plants that
thrive in climates with cold winters. Native
to central and eastern Asia, they struggle in
climates with prolonged, hot summers and
insufcient periods of winter dormancy.
There are three types of peonies, and they
are classied by their growth habits. The
type familiar to most gardeners is called
herbaceous, which die back to their roots
each winter. Tree peonies are woody plants
that lose their leaves each fall but re-sprout
from viable hardwood stems each spring.
Finally, intersectional peonies are crosses
between the two. All thrive in northern cli-
mates, but herbaceous types are the hardiest
and longest lived. Established plants can
live for decades.
Although tolerant of light shade, peonies
require at least six hours of sun a day to
bloom well, and unlike many herbaceous
perennials they prefer to be planted in the
fall. Some garden centers do offer container
grown plants for spring planting; however,
in my experience, fall-planted roots estab-
lish quicker. Peonies can be bought from
mail order sources and will arrive as bare
root plants.
Peonies like a rich but well drained soil.
Well-rotted cow manure or compost should
be added to the soil before planting. Dig a
hole roughly 1 foot wide by one foot deep.
Add some of the amended soil to the hole
and place the roots in the hole with the eyes
(growing tips) facing up. Be careful not to
plant the roots too deep, as this will inhib-
it owering. Adding about 1 inch of soil
over the crown of the plant should be suf-
cient. Water well to remove air pockets
around the roots and be sure to provide water
occasionally during the rst growing sea-
son, especially if there are periods with lit-
tle or no rain. Once established, peonies
dont require supplemental watering.
Feed you peonies with a balanced fertiliz-
er, but avoid those with high levels of nitro-
gen. Too much nitrogen will produce abun-
dant foliage and fewer owers. Fish emul-
sion fertilizers work well. A supplemental
feeding of potash worked into the soil
around the crown of the plant will also help
the plant thrive. A cup or two of replace
ash in the early spring is sufcient.

the vision for Idea High School.
Even though it was only a few days into
the two-week program, Cerra was already
noticing items in the curriculum to tweak.
For example, bringing in experts to look at
the teen-driven designs is motivating stu-
dents but perhaps drawing away focus.
Some students need a bit more support.
There are a number of teachers and teacher
assistants on hand during the three-hour
course. After each day, they compare notes,
talk about students and discuss ways to
improve upon the process.
The two-week program at Burlingame
High School this summer features 20 teens
from throughout the district. Ranging from
incoming freshman to recent graduates, the
students are broken into groups and given
three challenges. Designing a shoe is the
second of the three.
Team 3 didnt have a name for their proto-
type but their idea was clear embrace the
barefoot design with extra padding and an
outward appearance of any other shoe, said
14-year-old Lisa Elliott who will soon be a
sophomore at San Mateo High School. In
fact, the outward portion could be changed
giving the same shoe multiple looks.
Before designing anything, students had
to learn the design process. Modeled after
much of the work done at the Hasso Plattner
Institute of Design, known as the d.school,
students explored different concepts, inter-
viewed real people, then designed a proto-
type that will be presented to an authentic
audience in this case the owner of a local
shoe store and students from a local school
of fashion and design.
The Team 3 shoe prototype has changed
from what looked like a sock with extra
padding to a more put-together presenta-
tion, albeit one with staples and duct tape.
Most of the students in the group wel-
comed the change in the academic process.
Elliott said the process allowed for a bit
more free rein.
Eighteen-year-old Andrew Lee, who
recently graduated from Burlingame High
School, discussed lessons from interview-
ing people in downtown Burlingame. It
became easier to use body language to iden-
tify who he should approach, he said.
As Lee helped work on the prototype
revamp which students were given 20
minutes to complete teammate Yash
Nevatia commented that they are probably
breaking patent law with the design. There
was a laugh from others in the group.
Not everyone enjoyed the freedom of the
design classroom that embraces students
getting feedback, tweaking their proposal
and working so collaboratively. Fifteen-
year-old Adam Taylor would have preferred
spending his summer doing something
more athletic.
Other than really trying out the curricu-
lum setup, the group is also working on
spreading the word about design thinking
to gain a better understanding from those in
the community. One such way to do that is
through a community event being held
from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday, June
26 at the Burlingame High School library.
There will be a showing of Extreme by
Design with a design experience for fami-
lies and a chance to talk to the lmmaker
Ralph King.

June 19-22 , 2013
By Michelle Locke
BERKELEY College students
Alejandro Velez and Nikhil Arora were just
a few months short of careers in corporate
banking when they learned in a class lec-
ture that it was possible to grow gourmet
mushrooms on leftover coffee grounds.
Velez was so struck by the idea that he
stayed after class to see if he could learn
more. Well, no, said the professor, he did-
nt have any extra information. But he
could connect Velez with the one other
student whod asked about the concept
Arora.
That was back in 2009, and since then
the two have become friends and business
partners in their company, Back to the
Roots. Their Grow-Your-Own Mushroom
Garden allows anyone to grow mush-
rooms off recycled waste. The company
has grown to more than 30 employees and
received an Empact100 award from the
White House last fall, recognizing it as
one of the top 100 entrepreneurial compa-
nies in the United States.
Their idea is to tap into the resurgi ng
interest in good food and in knowing
where that food comes from, helping even
city dwellers get in touch with their inner
farmer.
Everyone wants to connect with their
food, says Arora.
The pair started small, experimenting
in Velezs fraternity kitchen. At that
point, Velez had signed an offer to work in
investment banking, but, Arora says,
they thought, what the heck, lets give
this thing a shot, and started 10 test
buckets of mushrooms right before spring
break.
When they returned, they found that
nine of the buckets were washouts. But
one was so gorgeous they took it to Chez
Panisse, the famous Berkeley restaurant
founded by Alice Waters, a pioneer in the
eat fresh, eat local movement, as well as
to the local Whole Foods Market. Spurred
by the interest that initial crop generated
as well as a $5,000 grant for social
innovation from the University of
California Berkeley they came to a
decision: Banking could
wait.
The first challenge
was figuring out
how to grow the
m u s h r o o m s .
They spent
about eight

grounds,

sion was
around cre-
at i ng t hi s
e x p e r i -
ence, says
Arora. We
had all
these peo-
ple asking
if they can
do it at home.
The kit comes as a box
that can be set on a window sill, and just
needs to be opened and misted twice a day
(the mister is included). Available at
Home Depot, Whole Foods
and other stores, as well
as online, the kits cost
$19.95 and grows up to
1.5 pounds of pearl
oyster mushrooms
on soil that is
100 percent
recycled-plant
waste. The
company has
switched from
coffee waste to
corn husks,
wheat bran and
sawdust as the
growing medi-
um, and has
partnered with
G o u r m e t
Mushrooms in
Sebastopol to
produce the

Back to the
Roots is one of sev-
eral grow-your-own kits on the
market, which has seen rising interest in
fresh mushrooms, according to the San
Jose-based Mushroom Council.
Kathleen Preis, the councils marketing
coordinator, cites several factors includ-
ing research, much of it sponsored by the
council, on mushrooms nutritive bene-
fits (theyre high in Vitamin D and potas-
sium, for instance). Meanwhile, more
varieties have become readily available.
Consumers are seeing mushrooms on
the shelves. Theyre seeing them in TV
shows. Theyre seeing these growing
kits. There are more recipes for them.
Weve definitely noticed shipments have
gone up, consumption has gone up, says
Preis.
The Council reported in October that
retail sales of mushrooms in the summer
of 2012 was just over 3 percent greater
than summer 2011. The USDAs National
Agricultural Statistic Service, which
reports annually on domestic mushroom
production, reported in August 2012 that
the value of domestic mushroom produc-
tion topped $1 billion in 2012 for the
second year in a row. The 900-million-
pound crop from 2011-2012 exceeded the
previous crop years volume by 4 percent
and value by 8 percent.
A new way of using mushrooms is
adding them, finely chopped, to meat as a
way to add nutrients and reduce calories
without shrinking portion sizes.
Meanwhile, consumers are branching out
a little. Although the familiar, white but-
ton mushrooms are still No. 1, ship-
ments of specialty mushrooms i.e.
cremini, portabella are also rising.
Back to the Roots, now based in
Oakland, will introduce a shiitake grow-
your-own kit later this year. Theyre
launching a new product this summer,
AquaFarm, a 3-gallon, self-cleaning fish
tank that grows food on top of the tank.
You feed the fish and the fish fertilize the
plants. A possible combination is betta
fish with basil or wheat grass growing on
the tank.
Its like an ecosystem right there on
your kitchen counter, says Arora.

gang problems. Those efforts are pay-
ing off but the city dipped into
reserves to fund the effort, explained
Assistant City Manager Marty Van
Duyn. The city recently polled the
community to see what services resi-
dents value. Emergency services
ranked high. To keep the increased
services, staff is researching a change
to the business license tax.
A reliable source of local revenue
means that our city can maintain cur-
rent levels of police protection and
gang prevention service in the future,
without worrying about public safety
budget cuts. We could do this by mod-
ernizing the business license tax so
that corporate entities are paying their
fair share while we have local funds for
resident service needs, said Van Duyn.
The idea isnt to impact most busi-
nesses. Instead, Van Duyn explained
this would be about amending the tax
to be sure all businesses are contribut-
ing to the city. For example, if a busi-
ness isnt physically located within
the city limits but does work within
South City, like a billboard or vending
machine company, it could now need
to pay the tax. Or, if a business is pro-
ducing something that isnt otherwise
contributing to the city coffers like
through a sales or transit occupancy
tax it could also be impacted by a
change to the city code.
Details of what that will look like
are not yet clear. Van Duyn said city
ofcials are starting to do outreach.
The plan includes working with local
businesses as well as the larger com-
munity to discuss the proposal before
presenting it to the City Council or
proposing to place it on an upcoming
ballot.
Voters approved an update to the
business license tax in 2007.
Currently businesses pay a per-
employee charge, which started at $15
in 2007, with a provision to increase
as ination does. Prior to that, the tax
was a $75 annual fee plus $5 per
employee with a $1,000 cap that was
set in 1976 with no adjustment for
ination.
Before deciding how additional funds
raised could be used, the city conducted
a community survey.
Godbe Research conducted a survey
of 354 residents April 23 through
April 29. Maintaining re and para-
medic services as well as police
patrols, gang prevention, crime pre-
vention and rapid response to emer-
gency calls were among the top con-
cerns of residents earning support
from 78 percent to 81 percent from res-
idents should money be available.
Similar support, 78 percent, was gen-
erated for maintaining streets and
repairing potholes.
TAX
Thursday and pass another bill that
will maintain a requirement for cities
and counties to comply with the
California Public Records Act.
But Senate President Pro Tem
Darrell Steinberg followed that
announcement by saying he planned a
different solution. He wants to pass
the Assemblys bill only if there is
evidence in the future that a city or
county is not complying.
Instead, Steinberg said the Senate
will take up a constitutional amend-
ment next week intended to clarify
that the state should not pay for what
local officials should be doing on
their own. He said the Senate will
not vote Thursday on the Assembly
bi l l .
This has been a controversy; we
get it. There are a lot of controver-
sies, Steinberg said. We want to
instead look at what the law should be
for all time.
Gov. Jerry Brown issued a brief
statement Wednesday evening indi-
cating his support for a constitution-
al amendment. It would require two-
thirds majority votes in the Assembly
and Senate followed by voter
approval next year.
We all agree that Californians have
a right to know and should continue
to have prompt access to public
records and I support enshrining these
protections in Californias constitu-
tion, the governor said.
Senate Republican Leader Bob Huff,
R-Diamond Bar, criticized the majori-
ty party for reversing course on gov-
ernment transparency and rejecting
requests from GOP lawmakers to place
budget and budget-related bills in
print for public input a minimum of
72 hours before a vote.
Republicans have serious concerns
about trust us being a governing
phi l osophy, particularly when the
Democratic supermajority uses its
power to do things such as suspend-
ing the rules just to avoid having
budget bills heard in the budget com-
mittee, Huff said in a statement.
The Democratic leaders were react-
ing after a wave of media editorials
called on Brown to veto the bill,
which the Legislature passed last
week as part of the budget package.
The San Francisco Chronicle said in
an editorial Wednesday that the reason
given for eliminating the mandate was
nancial but that state ofcials could
not even say how much the local gov-
ernments compliance costs the state.
So the Legislature and the gover-
nor are willing to effectively suspend
the states sunshine laws which are
crucial for the public to know about
the governments business just to
save some amount of money that it
doesnt even know about. Shameful,
the Chronicle editorial board wrote.
BILL
to Bay Area Rapid Transit trains.
The agency hopes to have the mod-
ernization effort complete by 2019.
CBOSS will also help keep the diesel
trains running while the agency under-
takes the electrication project.
When complete, electrification is
expected to bring in more riders
because Caltrain will be running more
trains throughout the day.
All the new work the agency has
undertaken has also caused it to hire a
number of consultants who have the
expertise that Caltrain lacks in-house,
Ackemann said.
The agency has even provided relo-
cation subsidies, up to $12,000 a year,
to get the experts closer to Caltrain
headquarters in San Carlos.
At least 10 different consultant com-
panies provide on-call information
technology support for the agency
under an $8.5 million contract
approved by the Peninsula Corridor
Joint Powers Board in 2011.
The consultants include: Auriga
Corporation, of Milpitas: CH2M
HILL, Inc., of San Francisco; CMC
America, Inc., of Sunnyvale;
CompuCom Systems, of Dallas;
Gannett Fleming, Inc., of Mill Valley;
Karen Antion Consulting, LLC, of
Stamford, Conn.; LM
Telecommunications, of Cedar City,
Utah; Modis, of San Jose; RNR
Consulting, of Cleveland, Ohio; and
Stantec Consulting Services, of San
Francisco.
Caltrain can tap any of the consult-
ants to ll work directives, Ackemann
said.
The agency contracted with Karen
Antion Consulting from November
2011 to 2012 for the PTC project who
then tapped subconsultant AECOM to
help develop the initial phases of the
project. The total contract for the
years worth of work was a little more
than $599,000 with most of it billed
by AECOMs Project Manager Jack
Buckingham 2,080 hours at $275
an hour for a total of about $572,000.
KAC, as the contract administrator,
billed Caltrain 48 hours at $105 an
hour for a total of a little more than
$5,000.
