SACRAMENTO An independent citizens panel on Friday released its draft of new maps for Californias congressional and legislative districts in a process thats expected to reshape Californias political landscape. The California Citizens Redistricting Commission released preliminary maps, giv-
ing voters their rst chance to see new boundaries not drawn by politicians interested in protecting their seats. Californians established the commission in 2008 in response to gerrymandering by lawmakers that preserved districts for incumbents and the parties. Early interpretations by experts indicate the new maps provide for more Democratic-leaning districts than the current lines, though that
SACRAMENTO The state Senate on Friday rejected extending tax hikes for another year to help close Californias $9.6 billion budget decit but approved a bill that would allow local communities to more easily go to voters for tax increases. The Senate voted 22-15 along party lines for the so-called bridge tax, which would have continued for one year increases in the sales and vehicle taxes enacted in 2009. The measure fell ve votes short of the two-thirds majority needed. The higher tax rates will expire by June 30

The woman told police about 9 a.m. May 18 a man entered her car through an unlocked passenger door and ordered her to drive. He allegedly said someone is out to get me, someone is going to kill me.

At the same meeting, the commission will study plans to open a restaurant at 1395 Burlingame Ave., the former site of childrens clothing store Baby Couture. It requires a conditional use permit. The food establishment would also take over the space currently being used by Aida Opera Candies, located at 1375 Burlingame Ave., according to the staff report written by Senior Planner Ruben Hurin. A call to the candy shop revealed a surprise the woman who answered knew nothing of the plans. The applicant is in conversations with many different possible full-service food establishments but has yet to settle on one. Plans call for the two tenant spaces to be combined creating a 3,194-square-foot space. About 1,818 square feet will be used for seating. It will also house a bar, kitchen, rest rooms and food storage.

LOS ANGELES A group of elected ofcials asked Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday to suspend state participation in a Homeland Security program that aims to deport dangerous criminals but has been criticized for making illegal immigrants afraid to report crimes to police. The Secure Communities program requires ngerprints of arrestees to be shared with immigration agents. But the program has snared people whose only crime was being in the country illegally
and has made some women afraid to report domestic violence for fear of being deported and leaving behind their U.S.-born children, U.S. Rep. Xavier Becerra, D-Los Angeles, said at a news conference. Unless changes are made, the program may irreparably shatter the hard-earned trust and cooperation between police and communities, Becerra said. This makes us all less safe, added Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, a Democrat who also represents a Los Angeles-area district. The lawmakers, along with fellow Democratic Rep. Judy Chu, whose district
extends east of Los Angeles, and Los Angeles City Council members Bernard Parks and Jan Perry, said they sent a letter to Brown. They urged him to suspend Californias participation in the program until the Homeland Securitys inspector general completes an investigation. The Department of Homeland Securitys acting inspector general, Charles Edwards, said he will begin the review of Secure Communities in August rather than after September, as originally planned. Edwards gave notice in a letter dated Thursday to Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose.

WASHINGTON Newt Gingrichs campaign defections are just the latest tremor in a constantly shifting GOP presidential landscape that craves some steadiness as a big, early New Hampshire debate nears. Rivals already were trying to poach Gingrichs donors and top supporters Friday, even as the former House speaker said he would keep campaigning despite the resignations of his top advisers and entire Iowa paid staff. Party insiders eyed the likely entry of Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and a possible bid by Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Mitt Romneys decision to skip the Iowa straw poll in August, meanwhile, reinforced his image as a front-runner willing to pick his shots. And potential candidate Sarah Palin again lent a circus atmosphere to the entire GOP family this time indirectly when Alaska released thousands of pages of emails from her days as governor. In short, it was a typical week in the GOPs free-wheeling nominating process. The eld is anything but set, and theres no clear picture of who will emerge to
challenge President Barack Obama in 2012. Gingrich spoke publicly Friday for the rst time after the mass resignation of his top aides. Several of them said they frustrated Newt Gingrich were because he was devoting insufcient time to the nitty-gritty work of meeting and galvanizing supporters in early voting states such as Iowa. Gingrich told reporters outside his suburban Virginia home that he was committed to campaigning very intensely for the White House. He attributed his aides departure to disagreements about strategy. There is a fundamental strategic difference between the traditional consulting community and the kind of campaign I want to run, he said. Well nd out over the next year whos right. Gingrich received a vote of condence from at least one high-prole backer: Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal, his campaign chairman in his old home state. When the going gets rough, I dont cut and run on my friends, Deal said. That comment took only a little of the sting from his predecessors jump from
Gingrichs campaign to that of former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. Sonny Perdue had been a national co-chairman for the Gingrich campaign. Pawlenty also picked up support Mitt Romney Friday from Al Hubbard, who directed the National Economic Council under President George W. Bush. Republicans hoped the campaign focus might shift toward policy and what they consider Obamas shortcomings on Monday, when seven candidates plan to debate in Manchester, N.H. Joining Romney, Pawlenty, Gingrich and Bachmann will be Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, former pizza company executive Herman Cain, and former Sen. Rick Santorum, who unveiled a 60-minute radio ad Friday criticizing the federal decit. Notably absent will be former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, who has been campaigning unofcially for several weeks, mostly in New Hampshire. Huntsman recently said he will join debates if he ofcially enters the race. thorough investigation and dismay with PG&E, which maintains the line in question, for waiting to share pertinent information.

It also said the California High Speed Rail Authority was doing an extremely poor job.

back may not last. Jack Ablin, chief investment ofcer at Harris Private Bank, said strong corporate earnings and widespread economic growth, however slow, should lead to more gains in the coming months. Anyone selling shares today has to be pricing in a recession, he said. Most economists expect slow growth but not a recession. Shares had bounced back Thursday, breaking six straight days of losses, after U.S. exports unexpectedly hit a record in April. By Friday morning, those gains had evaporated. The losses were widespread, with declines across all 10 of the S&P 500s industry groups. Ablin suggested that Fridays losses were partially driven by the Federal Reserves unloading of millions in risky mortgage bonds onto the market. As big banks buy those securities, they dump assets such as stocks and high-yield corporate bonds. Karyn Cavanaugh, vice president and market strategist with ING Investment Management, advised investors to stick out the markets recent turbulence. The market doesnt go up indenitely; its not a straight line and it does get choppy at times, she said. Cavanaugh said seven straight quarters of strongerthan-expected corporate earnings are a clear signal that the bull market will continue.

Fears that the global economic recovery has stalled pushed the Dow Jones industrial average below 12,000 for the rst time since March and drove the stock market lower for the sixth straight week. Fridays drop extended the longest weekly losing streak for stocks since the fall of 2002. Weak economic news has dampened hopes for a steady recovery, sending stocks down. Traders worry that weaker hiring, sluggish industrial output, and a moribund housing market are reversing a bull market that has lifted the Dow 20 percent over the past year. If the indexes continue their slide for another week, it would be the rst time in 10 years that the market suffered a seven-week stretch of losses. The last such stretch began in May 2001 as the dot-com bubble deated. The Dow fell 172.45 points, or 1.4 percent, to close Friday at 11,951.91.

Being bumped could leave fliers bummed this summer
NEW YORK Being bumped from a ight this summer may not be worth the travel voucher or cash refund you get in return. Planes are booked full. So the next available ight could be hours or even days away. And if youre stuck overnight, the hotel is often on your own dime. Bumping happens because most big airlines regularly oversell their ights to account for no-shows usually about one in ten passengers. Its often prevalent around the busy Christmas or Thanksgiving holidays. But more travelers could be denied boarding this summer than a year ago because trafc is up while the airlines are limiting the number of available seats. The Fourth of July weekend could be especially bad because of the number of travelers taking to the skies, says Anne Banas, executive editor of smartertravel.com. If you involuntarily lose your seat, the airline has to give you cash or a voucher for $400 or $800 depending on how long youre delayed from ying. The amounts rise to $650 to $1,300 staring in August.
WASHINGTON The federal budget decit is on pace to break the $1 trillion mark for a third straight year. Record decits are putting pressure on Congress and the Obama administration to come up with a plan to rein in government spending. Already, the decit through the rst eight months of this budget year is $927.4 billion, according to the latest report from the Treasury Department released Friday. Three years ago that would have ranked as the highest ever for a full year. Instead, this years decit will likely exceed last years $1.29 trillion imbalance and nearly match the $1.41 trillion record reached in 2009. The budget year ends on Sept. 30. For May, the monthly deficit was $57.6 billion. That compared to $135.9 billion decit for the same month last year. But much of that improvement
came from a $45 billion write down in the estimated cost of the nancial bailout program. The latest Treasury report does show that more people are working and paying taxes this budget year, a positive sign. Government revenues have totaled $1.48 trillion for the eight months ended in May, a 10.3 percent increase over the same stretch in the previous budget year. Still, government outlays totaled $2.41 trillion through May. And one of the fastest growing parts of the budget is the interest on the national debt. That rose 13.6 percent to total $165.3 billion. The government is at risk of defaulting on those debt payments. That would likely happen if Congress fails to raise the nations $14.3 trillion borrowing limit by early August. A default on the debt would rattle markets and send interest rates soaring, making mortgages and other consumer loans more expensive. The increase in the debt limit is being held up by Republicans, who want President Barack Obama and Democrats
to rst agree to deep spending cuts equal in size. A Washington Post-ABC News poll showed that a large majority of Americans believe the country could suffer serious harm if Congress fails to broaden the governments borrowing authority. But barely half of those polled said they support such an increase. The White House and Democrats want to trim the decit through spending cuts and also by ending tax cuts for the wealthy, which were rst passed when President George W. Bush was in ofce and later extended by Obama. Republicans reject that approach, saying it amounts to a tax increase. Their plan would focus exclusively on cutting spending. They have also proposed further tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. The government had a surplus of $127 billion in 2001, the year President Bush took ofce. It was projected to run surpluses totaling $5.6 trillion over the next decade.
NEW YORK Saudi Arabias still the boss when it comes to oil. The worlds biggest oil exporter plans to increase production to 10 million barrels per day, the highest level in 30 years, according to a Saudi Arabian newspaper. Analysts see this as a bold step by the Saudis to reassert their dominance over OPEC after the 12-member group this week denied its request to increase production. Theyre reminding everyone who the sheriff is in town, independent analyst Jim Ritterbusch said. Oil prices sank 2.6 percent Friday. Benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude for July delivery lost $2.64 to settle at $99.29 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That erased most of the gains that followed OPECs meeting on Wednesday. If Saudi Arabia follows through, the
country will increase production 13 percent from May. This will add another 1.14 million barrels per day to the market, helping to close a shortfall in supply. OPEC says world demand will exceed supply by 1.45 million barrels per day in the third quarter. The U.S. Energy Information Administration puts the shortfall at 1.81 million barrels per day. The last time Saudi Arabia produced that much oil was August 1981, according to the Energy Information Administration. The Saudis have maintained that oil prices are too high, even after a recent decline. At the end of April, oil was up 25 percent for the year and U.S. gasoline prices were up 28 percent, near an average of $4 per gallon. Americans have cut back on driving to compensate, according to industry surveys. But gas is still up 21 percent since January, at $3.72, and experts warn that the economy will struggle to grow as long
as consumers are paying high pump prices. More than anything, Saudi Arabia wants to avoid another price crash like the nearly 70 percent plunge that occurred in the second half of 2008. Back then, demand fell off a cliff when oil rose to nearly $150 per barrel. This week, Saudi oil minister Ali Naimi pushed for higher production among OPEC members. But Iran and several other countries disagreed, delivering Saudi Arabia a very public rebuke. Fridays report in al-Hayat newspaper gave investors a glimpse at how the Saudis will respond. Theyre going to unilaterally decide for themselves when to supply the market, analyst Andrew Lipow said. The quick end to Wednesdays contentious meeting in Vienna had some proclaiming the beginning of the end for the 12-nation group. But others pointed out that most OPEC countries already are producing above their quotas.

Patrick Grimes caps off his Menlo career with another great season
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Menlo Schools head golf coach Dave Buchanan recalls a moment during league play this season that sums up why Patrick Grimes is once again the San Mateo Daily Journal Golfer of the Year. It was during a match four or ve weeks into the year that he approached the opposing coach and asked how her team was doing. Good, she said, but my No. 1 is very nervous. Why? Buchanan asked. Because, hes playing Patrick Grimes. Yeah, when youre a two-time Central Coast Section champion, you have that kind of effect on people. The impact that he had on the other team, and even on our team, is actually exceptional, Buchanan said. Its kind of funny. Grimes came into the 2011 season trying to become the only golfer in CCS history to capture three championships in his career. And while he fell two strokes short of that, his season was more than good enough to warrant our highest honor. This season, while posting terric marks, what made Grimes the best was his ability to handle adversity.
For the rst time since the inception of the San Mateo Daily Journal Athletes of the season, the sports desk was stumped. Its usually a more difcult thing to do with these awards given the fact that most of the time the staff has an idea of who merits the recognition. But this year was different. And the Daily Journal has the Menlo boys tennis team to thank for that. In a season in which the most dominating team in the entire county was dominating because 1-thru-12 they were equally sensational, the task of choosing one player proved to be too difcult. Talk about a conundrum wrapped inside an enigma. Do you go with Andrew Ball, the West Bay Athletic League Most Valuable Player? Or do you go with Menlo captain Andrew Carlisle, who was just as dominant all year long? But if dominant is your main requisite, then you cant leave out Justin Chan and Richard Pham, who more than adequately represented the Knights in singles matches. Still, youd be remiss not to mention the contributions of Daniel Morkovine, J.T Nishimura, Mac Osbourne, Michael Hoffman,
SAN FRANCISCO Mark Jackson was every bit the bold and boisterous personality on his rst day as coach of the Golden State Warriors that he was as a player and a broadcast analyst. Only time will tell if he can be equally successful. Declaring that the Bay Area will never be the same, Jackson promised sweeping changes Friday to the perennially underachieving franchise. He was introduced by the Warriors at a swanky San Francisco hotel across the bay from where the team plays in Oakland that had Mark Jackson all the air of the areas new coach. The Brooklyn native and former New York Knicks point guard said the Warriors will make the area New York City West in NBA circles, attracting the coveted free agents the franchise has always struggled to sign. He even predicted championship banners would follow. When you look at the success of the teams in this area, the As have had theirs. The Niners have had theirs. The Giants have had theirs. The Raiders have had theirs. And now
NEW YORK Even without a Triple Crown on the line, the 143rd Belmont Stakes may indeed be the Test of the Champion. The nal leg of the Triple Crown features not only the rubber match between Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom and Preakness winner Shackleford on Saturday, but the top seven nishers from the Derby for the rst time as well. Why did everyone pick this year to come back? wondered a smiling Graham Motion, who trains Animal Kingdom. After watching his Derby winner gallop around the 1 1/2-mile main track at Belmont Park on Friday morning, Motion declared his colt in great form and up to the challenge of taking on a slew of rivals for the third time in ve weeks. To have seven horses come back from the Derby, and to have the winner of the Preakness and Derby, what more can you want? Motion said. Everyone wants to see a Triple Crown winner, but ultimately this is the test of champions and I think this really is going to be that test. Animal Kingdom is the 2-1 favorite in a eld of 12 3-year-olds as he attempts to become the 12th horse to complete a DerbyBelmont double. The last to succeed was Thunder Gulch in 1995.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. Patrick Johnson spent most of Friday hitting the outside corner of the plate, frustrating batters and protecting North Carolinas slim lead. The senior is making pitching in the NCAA tournament look pretty easy this year. Johnson pitched into the eighth inning and Seth Baldwin hit a two-run homer in the seventh to help the Tar Heels beat Stanford 5-2 in the NCAA super regionals, moving them within a win of another trip to Omaha. Johnson allowed ve hits while striking out seven in 7 2-3 innings for the Tar Heels (49-14), a strong follow-up to his dominant performance during their three-game romp through last weekends regionals. We needed a good start from him, North Carolina coach Mike Fox said, and we got it right out of the gate. North Carolina, the No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament, can reach the College World Series for the fth time in six seasons by winning beating the Cardinal (35-21) in Saturdays Game 2. Johnson remained in control of this game despite getting only an RBI single from Ben Bunting through the rst six innings. Two batters reached second base against him all afternoon, while his only walk came in the seventh. Baldwins shot over the left-eld wall later that inning nally gave him some extra cushion, even though he hardly seemed to need it. Me and (pitching coach Scott Forbes) had a plan going into the game and we pretty much stayed with that plan the whole time: Stay away from them, go in when we needed to, Johnson said. We were just able to hang with it the whole game. Johnson (13-1) entered Friday with a scoreless streak of 23 innings and hadnt allowed a
run since giving up two in a win at Georgia Tech on May 13. He threw six innings of no-hit ball against Wake Forest before a rain delay in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament and allowed three hits with 11 strikeouts in eight shutout innings last weekend against James Madison. He left Fridays game after Tyler Gaffneys ineld hit, handing the ball to reliever Michael Morin and heading to the dugout after throwing 127 pitches to a standing ovation from the blueclad crowd at Boshamer Stadium. But Morin quickly surrendered a double to left from Stephen Piscotty, then Brian Ragira managed a soft hit up the middle that shortstop Levi Michael tried to grab barehanded. The ball rolled away from him, allowing Gaffney and Piscotty to score and snap Johnsons scoreless streak and cut the decit to 3-2. You dont have that many scoreless innings without having good stuff, Stanford coach Mark Marquess said. But he pitches. Hes rm with the fastball. He throws it where he wants to and has great command. ... And when you do that, youre tough on hitters. And he was really tough on us. His teammates ensured that Johnsons win wouldnt slip away. Baldwin drew a basesloaded walk in the eighth, then Chaz Frank added an RBI sacrice y to center that scored Bunting to push the lead to 5-2. Stanfords Mark Appel (6-7) held the Tar Heels to six hits and one run through the rst six innings before walking Brian Holberton to lead off the seventh. Baldwin came on and fouled the rst two pitches to the left side as he tried to bunt. But after taking a ball, Baldwin blasted Appels pitch over the left-eld wall to nally give Johnson and the Tar Heels a needed cushion. We were trying to hit the outside corner and
I missed low on the 0-2 pitch, Appel said of the at-bat with Baldwin. I tried to go back and just left it up and he hit it. It was just a mistake and he made me pay for it. The Tar Heels have now won 15 straight postseason games as a host school, including two super regional wins against Coastal Carolina in nearby Cary while Boshamer was being remodeled three years ago. Theyve also won six straight games in the super regionals dating back to a Game 3 win against South Carolina here in 2007. Weve got to go out there (Saturday) and get it done, Baldwin said. I dont think we should take it easy at all. I feel like we should play hardnosed like we did today. We cant relax.

Cal looks to be the a West Coast Cinderella story like no other, persevering a season eclipsed by the shadow of looming closure of its baseball program. But it was announced midseason the baseball program had been saved, and the Golden Bears revitalization seemed to carry over onto the eld in Regional play, as Cal in what will be heralded as one of the great baseball games in Bay Area collegiate history rallied back from four runs down in its nal at bat to down Baylor 9-8 last weekend. In doing
so, the Bears now advance to Super Regional play which starts Saturday. In another fortuitous stroke of destiny, the Bears drew home-team advantage against Dallas Baptist, and will host the Super Regional at one of the most underrated venues in all of the Bay Area Santa Clara Universitys Schott Stadium. Saturdays opener is scheduled for 5 p.m., Sunday is set for 7 p.m., and Mondays start time (if necessary) is yet to be determined. Cal is lauded as a relatively young team, despite having seven players drafted earlier this week. They feature a dynamic pitching staff which includes four right-handed
draftees ace Erik Johnson, starter Dixon Anderson, and relievers Kevin Miller and Matt Flemer. However, Cals workhorse has been sophomore lefty Justin Jones, who paces the team with eight wins, and 113 2/3 innings pitched. At the plate, former Serra standout Tony Renda paces all Bears hitters with a .335 batting average. The sophomore second baseman also has a knack for hitting in the clutch. Renda was 9 for 24 in regional play, including a banner 3-for-5 night in the thrilling nale in which he scored the winning run on the legendary two-run, game-winning hit by Devon Rodriguez.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia With a fortunate bounce and a flawless goalie, the Vancouver Canucks are heading back to Boston with the chance to hoist the Stanley Cup for the first time.

Luongo helped Vancouver take a 3-2 series lead, posting his fourth shutout of the playoffs and second of the Stanley Cup finals after giving up 12 goals in less than four periods during two blowout losses in Boston. There was something about him before the game, said Vancouver defenseman Kevin Bieksa, who set up the only goal. He just seemed so comfortable, so confident. He was vocal, and usually hes not a vocal guy. We thought it would be something special. Game 6 is Monday night in Boston, and the Stanley Cup will be there. The Canucks have scored just six goals in five Stanley Cup finals games against brilliant Boston goalie Tim Thomas, yet theyre one victory away from winning it all. Weve been through this, I dont know how many times, Boston coach Claude Julien said. Were not a team thats done anything the easy way, so in a way, its not a surprise were here. ... Tonight was certainly not a good night for our power play, not a good night for our whole team in creating scoring chances.

Shine said. The success they had last year, they came in this year with a lot of pressure on them. Everyone was looking to play us and we had to take everyones best shot. I was really proud of how the guys handled it, going into almost every single match as the heavy favorite. But they didnt take anything for granted and they worked extremely hard at practice. And they looked at it as the big picture. They just took it one match at a time. I was just impressed at how they went about it, with such a mature attitude about getting better every single day. It starts before practice, Sum said. We go out there and stay focused the entire time. If someone is messing around we say, Remember what were here for, were here to practice and train. We dont take anything for granted, no matter how many (titles) we have won in the past. Even if weve won three or four, or we are league champions every year, were still very proud of it because weve worked hard for it. It was a really great season overall. There is a ton of pride that emanates from the Knights players and a responsibility to uphold the tradition of winning that has come out of the Valparaiso campus for more than a decade. Sum said that when Shine told him he was going to be a captain, It was one of the most special moments in my life, adding how honored he was to carry the title that some of the all-time Menlo greats have shared. And like him, all of the Knights have contributed to the formation of something that is a notch above a typical sports dynasty. Its hard to pick one guy out, Shine said, I think if you pick one guy out, you have to pick 10 guys out. I think that everybody on the team, at one time or another during the season, really really stepped it up and picked up everyone else around them. Everybody on the team had their moment where they put their two cents in for each victory or a certain victory. Its hard, especially this season, its hard to pinpoint which player stood out because they all stood out. Thats what made them a true team. A true team, and the Daily Journal Player(s) of the Year. leagues Most Outstanding Golfer. Hes on a different level, Buchanan said. Its fun to work with him. Hes very coachable. Hes looking to make other guys on the team better (and he) really led the team. Thats tough to do at this level. I remember one match, I didnt tell the team he wasnt going to show up, Im pretty sure he wasnt going to make it. And they asked, Wheres Patrick? Hes not here today. And it just kind of dawned on them and you see them all kind of tighten up a little bit, said a chuckling Buchanan. It was a good gut check for us as a team. They still won that match, by the way. The best part about the year was that it was a group of guys that have been together for pretty much the third or fourth year, Grimes said. So we were really close as a team. It was denitely the most fun out of all the years that Ive been on a team. It was really easy being around people you enjoy spending time with and playing golf with. I denitely learned a lot this season, Grimes continued. About working hard and working through a couple of times when youre struggling a little bit, so in that sense I thought it was pretty positive just trying to nish out the year and get some momentum before the summer and before college starts. While the Stanford team awaits his arrival in the fall, those who have had the luxury of seeing Grimes play golf know that theyre saying goodbye to one of the best Menlo has ever seen. Its denitely an honor to be remembered that way, Grimes said. Menlo has had some good players come through in the past (and) have gone on to play at various colleges, so, to be remembered as one of the best golfers to come through there is denitely an honor. I guess I would like to be remembered as someone who was a really good addition to the team, not just playing for myself, really just working hard to play for the team, be an asset to the team as opposed to someone who is separated, someone who was a good team player.

When it does happen, the results are truly amazing. Yes it is (rare), said Menlo head coach Bill Shine. Especially in an individual sport that youre trying to get these kids into the team aspect, and get the team mentally where they arent selsh. Yes, it is unusual, but these kids are unusual. Its hard getting a lot of kids who are used to getting their way to think as a team. You just dont see it that often. But at Menlo, you see it quite a bit. Shine isnt kidding with their near-awless run through the Central Coast Section, the Knights now boast the most CCS titles ever with 10. They then kept working like a team that hadnt accomplished anything and went on to have another dominating team performance at the Nor Cal championships where they dropped only one match en route to another title. And then they fell a win short of the National All-American Tournament title, falling to the secondseeded University High School team of Southern California. We never expect anything, said Sum, one of the Menlo captains. We see what we want and we work to get what we want. So, were completely focused on the process. We dont care about blowing away every team, were just out there to win and thats it. I think the overall aspect of the team was how hard they worked,

at 4-1, with Shackleford next at 9-2 as he tries to become the 19th horse to take the Preakness and Belmont. Ahmed Zayat, who owns Nehro, cant wait to see what happens. Of course, hes hoping his colt will shed his bridesmaid reputation after second-place nishes in the Louisiana, Arkansas and Kentucky derbies. This race will be something special, he said. Its another Derby at the test of champions. The matchup of a Derby winner against a Preakness winner in the 1 1/2-mile Belmont doesnt occur often. This will be the 22nd time its happens, and rst since 2005, when Preakness winner Aeet Alex defeated Derby winner Giacomo. Preakness winners have won 10 times, Derby winners ve times. Short of a Triple Crown bid, this is going to be one of the most exciting Belmonts I can remember, Shacklefords trainer Dale Romans said. The New York Racing Association is hoping for a crowd of 60,000, far less than the record 120,139 that showed up for Smarty Jones Triple Crown try in 2004. Weather could be a factor with forecasts calling for a 60 percent chance of rain, with thunderstorms possible by late afternoon, and temperatures in the high 60s. Motion and Romans have said a wet track shouldnt be a problem for their horses, while long shot Ruler On Ice has won over a sloppy dirt track before. Post time for the race on NBC is 6:35 p.m. With one long lap around the only 1 1/2-mile track in North America, the Belmont has been full of surprises. Since Thunder Gulch won as the favorite in 95, only two others have done the same Point Given in 2001 and Aeet Alex in 05. Long shots have been coming home rst on a regular basis. Last year it was 131 Drosselmeyer, two years ago Summer Bird at 11-1, and three years ago DaTara at 38-1. Birdstone spoiled Smarty Jones bid for immortality at odds of 36-1 and Sarava ended War Emblems Triple try in 2002 as a 70-1 shot. How this Belmont unfolds is anybodys guess. One thing for certain is Shackleford will shoot for the lead from the outside No. 12 post under Jesus Castanon. The long, lanky colt led into the stretch at the Derby but couldnt hold off the closers and nished fourth.
GRIMES
Continued from page 11
I had a period in my career when I really felt like I lost all my game, Grimes said. I felt like I lost my swing, my feel. (I) really struggled with that. I guess I would like to be remembered for working hard, making some changes, trying to work through that and not giving up and getting it back, he said. As one of the best golfers to come out of the Peninsula, its hard to picture Grimes as ever struggling with his game. But since last winning this award, Grimes has been hard at work. Hes always working on his game, Buchanan said. Hes really evolved his swing. Hes gone through a major swing change to make it less timing-based, have more balance and have a swing that can really carry him through the next level and beyond. The next level is a little known college, you may have heard of it: Stanford. It was a pretty good year, Grimes said. But Id say it was a year where I was denitely solid in the beginning and the middle part of the year, and in the high school matches I was pretty consistent, but I was a little disappointed with the way things went in the postseason. I didnt feel like I was struggling with my game, I just didnt put together the scores that I needed to win another CCS title or to get to the state championship. So, I guess I cooled off at the wrong time, but it was denitely a fun year, a good senior year for me. The great ones are always their harshest critics. To his third-place nish in CCS, Grimes can add a victory at the Menlo Club Invitational (with players from prestigious programs like De La Salle in attendance) and the Gunn Invitational. He was also the scoring average leader for the West Bay Athletic League while leading the Knights to a perfect 10-0 season. And once again, he was named the

These are some big names, some great matchups, Schaefer said this week. They bring name recognition, so not only ght fans tune in, but sports fans as well. The pool of ghts reminds Schaefer of the 1980s, when the quartet of Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns and Roberto Duran were reaching their peak four ghters of the same elite caliber who came together for a series of slugfests, nine in all. Theyve stood the test of time. There was Leonard making Duran call no mas at the Louisiana Superdome. Hagler-Hearns in April 1985, in the old outdoor stadium at Caesars Palace, still considered the greatest threeround ght in boxing history. And the rematch between Leonard and Duran in December 1989, the ght that effectively closed the chapter on the memorable era. The series of ghts scheduled to take place over the next six months may not live up to those lofty standards, but they should provide another jolt of intrigue to a sport that has been trying to recapture the publics imagination. Its like those great ghts in the 1980s, great timing, said Freddie Roach, who will have a hand in several of the matchups as a trainer of Pacquiao and Khan. Even Mayweather is getting in there. I think he picked a southpaw, maybe hes getting ready for Manny, Roach said. It kind of excites me. Im glad the ght is happening. There are a few ghts that arent happening, and a few ghters left out. The most notable is unbeaten welterweight titleholder Timothy Bradley, who backed out of a proposed unication ght against Khan and a reportedly career-high payday. Now that just about every other marquee name has locked up a ght, Bradley is left without a dance partner. Were not going to accept mediocrity, Jackson said, slipping into his Brooklyn accent and friendly slang that made him a broadcasting favorite. You might as well hitch onto the bandwagon because things gone be a changing. For all of Jacksons accolades, he has never been a coach. Not in college. Not in high school. Not even as an assistant or an understudy anywhere. He admits there are day-to-day things about being a coach that hell have to learn on the job, and thats why his rst order of business was to lure top assistant and friend Mike Malone to his staff. The closest experience Jackson has to coaching is being a point guard for 17 seasons in the NBA and the on-court leader for ve Hall of Famers Lou Carnesecca, Lenny Wilkens, Jerry Sloan, Pat Riley and Larry Brown among others. That still makes him a risky hire and a com-

NEW YORK Manny Pacquiao never has trouble nding a ght. Anybody with a shred of credibility who can come close to making weight has been lining up for years to face the box-ofce sensation. So when Pacquiao agreed to ght Juan Manuel Marquez in November, their third matchup in what already has been an epic series, everyone else started pairing up. Junior welterweight titleholders Amir Khan and Zab Judah found each other. Theyll meet in Las Vegas in a highly anticipated unication match in July. Former titleholder Devon Alexander lined up with hard-hitting Lucas Matthysse. Theyll meet in Alexanders native St. Louis later this month. Floyd Mayweather Jr. announced plans to end a 16-month layoff this week. He agreed to face welterweight champ Victor Ortiz at a venue to be decided in September. The combined record of those eight ghters? 290 wins, 19 losses, ve draws. They also have about 30 world titles between them, depending on what you count. I really cant remember any other weight class that has been so talent-loaded, Golden Boy Promotions chief executive Richard Schaefer said, referring to the 140- and 147-pound divisions, by far the most exciting in boxing over the past few years. Those are just the ghts that have been nalized. Golden Boy is close to a deal for lightweight champ Robert Guerrero to move up to 140 pounds against Marcos Maidana, another hard-punching contender. And former three-division champion Erik Morales is expected to return soon after taking Maidana to the brink in April.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia Shane Carwin was supposed to ease back into the UFC. The heavyweight contender had been out for nearly a year recovering from back surgery for nerve damage in his neck, and he scheduled a comeback ght against Jon Olav Einemo, a Norwegian newcomer. Brock Lesnars latest bout with intestinal illness changed everything for Carwin, the 36-year-old mechanical engineer from rural Colorado with two of mixed martial arts most devastating sts. Instead of easing into the UFC shallows, hes jumping right back into the deep end against Brazils Junior Dos Santos (12-1), widely considered the worlds No. 2 heavyweight behind UFC champion Cain Velasquez. When Lesnar dropped out of his ght with Dos Santos, Carwin (12-1) stepped in for the main event of UFC 131 Saturday in Vancouvers Rogers Arena, with a fall title shot going to the winner. You get very few opportunities like this in life, Carwin said. I get to go in there and make the most of it and do something that I love to do. When I got that call, it was an absolute yes. Not only do I get to ght one of the best guys in the world, but its with the title shot on the line. Carwin was one punch away from winning that title last summer when he battered Lesnar for nearly every minute of the rst round of their bout. Lesnar spent the round curled in a corner of the cage, blocking punches and hoping Carwin would tire himself out. plete unknown. Yet thats just what new Warriors owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber relish about Jackson and the kind of chances they predicted when they bought the franchise last fall for a record $450 million. Hes the most experienced guy, frankly, we met in the entire process, Lacob said. I know thats a funny line to say given some of the comments out there. He hasnt been in the seat and been a head coach in the NBA. But if you look at experience, its the whole thing that counts. Can he be a leader? Will the players respect him? Can he handle the media in a big market like the Bay Area? I can go through any number of things. And Mark, to me, was the most experienced guy on that list of people we met. And it wasnt even close. Becoming an NBA head coach was years in the making. Jackson spent the past few seasons as the lead analyst for ESPN and ABC, and he will
Carwin did just that, and Lesnar nished him in the second round. While Carwin dealt with neck pain that eventually led to surgery in the ensuing months, he also realized he had to change his conditioning to compete with Velasquez or Dos Santos, two prodigious natural athletes. His shape improved immediately, and he didnt expect to need to cut weight before Fridays weigh-in. My diet is mostly organic now, a lot of fruits and vegetables, Carwin said, praising his nutrition consultant, Josh Ford. MMA-mad Canada is hosting its latest UFC show just one day after the Vancouver Canucks play a pivotal Game 5 against the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup nals in the same downtown arena. Veteran featherweight Kenny Florian meets Brazils Diego Nunes earlier on the card, while lightweight contender Donald Cowboy Cerrone takes on Vagner Rocha before a bout between middleweights Demian Maia and Mark Munoz. Dos Santos was looking forward to a bout with Lesnar after appearing together on the most recent season of The Ultimate Fighter, the UFCs reality show. The UFC also was disappointed when its biggest pay-per-view star had another setback with diverticulitis last month, eventually undergoing surgery to remove a portion of his colon. Dos Santos also hasnt fought in 10 months since winning the rst decision of his career over Roy Nelson in Oakland last August. Hes an outstanding striker whose sheer size would be a problem for most heavyweights although Carwin matches up well. cross the country back to Miami to nish his duties at the NBA nals. He spent that time picking the brains of coaches around the league during exclusive meetings the network has before games. Jackson interviewed for so many coaching vacancies he cant even recall the exact number but said he was a nalist in Atlanta, New York and Minnesota. He emerged from a eld of about a dozen candidates, Lacob said, and the years of frustration of being turned down were visible. Jackson, who is also an ordained pastor in the Los Angeles area, started to tear up when speaking about the opportunity to be a rsttime coach and completing his lifelong basketball dream. He used to listen to Knicks games on the radio as a kid, envisioning himself as the star player, broadcaster and coach. I became that player. I became that broadcaster, he said. And the last thing in line for me was coach.

were looking forward to ours, Jackson said. So, therefore, its about time. Sorry it took so long, but now were at the party. Well, not quite. The Warriors have made the playoffs just once since 1994 and havent won an NBA title since 1975. About the only success the franchise has enjoyed is that fans in the basketball-crazy Bay Area regularly sell out Oracle Arena and can be as vocal as any in a market saturated with sports teams. Jackson agreed to a $6 million, three-year deal to take over a team that went 36-46 last season. That was a 10-game improvement from the previous season but not enough to save Keith Smarts job.

Noting theres a history of close games between the teams in the tournament that determines the champion of North and Central America and the Caribbean, Donovan stressed the favored Americans can not afford to overlook their next opponent on Saturday night. The U.S. has beaten Panama in each of the past three Gold Cups, including 2005 when they played to a scoreless tie in the nal. The Americans took the title that year after winning a penalty shootout, then eliminated the Panamanians in the quarternals in 2007 and 2009. Winning the Gold Cup not only

People forget how much experience this group of players have now. Its been basically the same team for ve, six, seven, eight years, the American star added. Its going to be a difcult game.

here is a booth on the corner of Taylor and Broadway in Millbrae that is among the most offensive things I have seen recently. The stand, occupied by a man and woman from LaRouche PAC, aims to convince people to oppose President Barack Obama in next years election. Their message doesnt solely offend me politically, though; it offends my intelligence because their point is expressed through large posters of our president with a Hitler-esque mustache. The people from LaRouche PAC are far from alone; if Internet message boards are any indicator, there is a good chance you might also be Hitler. Your Nazi-esque policies could be anything vegetarianism, liberalism, conservatism or even just being a fan of the wrong television show. It all conforms to a theory known as Godwins Law, posited in 1990 by a lawyer named Mike Godwin, which states that, As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one. And boy, has it turned out to be true. Scroll down past a music video on YouTube, and chances are youll nd comments comparing both the bands detractors and their supporters to militant Nazis. Even
Two dry wits chow down meals and chew the fat as they traverse the English countryside. This is not a pitch that would cut it in Hollywood, but thankfully, director Michael Winterbottom never much thinks about what Hollywood wants. Winterbottoms The Trip mostly delights as the lmmaker follows Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon on a
trek to review half a dozen restaurants. Its a continuation of the rifng Coogan and Brydon did on their real personas in Winterbottoms Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story as the two friends prattle, trade insults, do hilarious impersonations and generally try to oneup each other. The result is occasionally repetitive and borders on tiresome now and then. Yet Coogan and Brydon, building their performances largely
through improvisation, have such rapport that its easy to digest their brand of affectionate chatter laced with mildly mean-spirited ribbing. If you were sitting at the next table and overheard these guys cataloging the rights and wrongs of each others talents and career choices, you might roll your eyes at their pettiness. If you overheard their vocal duels as they mimic such actors as Al Pacino, Michael Caine and the various men who have played James
Bond, youd likely be snorting with laughter and telling the waiter, Give me whatever theyre having. The Trip is a big-screen condensation of Winterbottoms sixpart series that aired on British television.

How do you make your first appearance in San Francisco a memorable one? Well, if youre Hombres G, one of the most influential and iconic Rock en Espaol bands of all time, the formula is simple: one, take the Fillmore, two, hook up with another legendary band and three, roll out 29 years worth of hits in a 90-minute set do that, and you will tear the roof off the place and leave the people of San Francisco begging you to come back soon. Hombres G followed that equation to the T Wednesday night, making their debut in the City by the Bay after touring through the world with their Euro-rock sound since their creation in 1982. Its hard to believe that, after 11 studio albums, a couple of feature films and countless timeless hits, The G Men have never played in San Francisco. But, as the saying goes, better late than never. Their performance Wednesday night was the beginning of a dream-week for any Spanish Rock fan. Not only did Hombres G grace the stage, but they were preceded by Los Enanitos Verdes, a band loved throughout the Bay Area after frequenting it on numerous occasions with terrific show after show. And tonight, Panteon Rococo, a Mexican ska band will pack the Fillmore. If you were there on Wednesday, chances are youll be back tonight, and that would mean another sold-out show
the amount of hits Hombres G has, it was like shooting fish in a barrel. Te quiero, Marta tiene un marcapasos, Si no te tengo a ti, were just a few. While those were the songs people came to hear, Hombres G is in the middle of a resurgence in the Rock en Espaol world, latching themselves to the social media wagon in hopes of another meteoric rise. After taking a 10-year hiatus in the 1990s, theyve released four albums in the last nine years. Their debut in San Francisco was a perfect time for the band to remind fans of their latest material Desayuno Continental, (Continental Breakfast), which is big in Europe and is slowly gaining momentum in the United States. Hombres G ended the night with their biggest hit, Devuelmeme mi chica, (Give me back my girl) to a gigantic dance pit and sing-a-long from the crowd. It was an appropriate end to a successful debut in the Bay Area.
Panteon Rococo, a Mexican rock/ska band, will bring their 13-year catalogue to the Fillmore in San Francisco tonight to cap off a dream week of Rock en Espaol at the historic venue.Last Wednesday,the Fillmore hosted rock legends Hombres G and Los Enanitos Verdes.
for the legendary venue. Its no coincidence that Hombres G chose Enanitos to open up for them in this their first visit to San Francisco the city loves the band from Argentina almost as if they were a group with local ties. Wednesday marked their return to the Bay Area after performing in San Jose less than eight months ago. And, given the reception they receive from the home crowd, who can blame them for wanting to come back over and over again. Enanitos played through 60 minutes of their hits and dabbled a bit in new material from their latest projects Pescado Original and Ineditos. But the sold-out crowd, already in a nostalgic mood as they awaited Hombres G, was there for the classics. And they got plenty of those, Luz de Dia, La Muralla Verde, and Amorres Lejanos among them. Their encore, Guitarras Blancas, was a perfect segway to Hombres G. And the band from Spain took the Rock en Espaol baton and ran with it, coming out with Voy a Pasarmenlo Bien, (Im going to have a good time) from their 1989 album of the same name. From there it was a matter of choosing the right songs, and with
The Rock en Espaol party isnt over yet. Panteon Rococo, another Spanish rock/ska band (from Mexico City), will bring a 13-year catalogue to the Fillmore. Known mostly in Mexico and Germany, Panteon does have a strong following with the hardcore Rock en Espaol fans and are infamous for their out-of-control live shows, including one at the Fillmore in August of 2010. Doors for Panteons show open at 8 p.m.

worse, the analogy is often directed at the band itself, even if neither the song nor the video has anything to do with politics in the rst place. What becomes unnerving about the prevalence of the argument is that it spreads beyond the Internet and into the real world, where it is known as reductio ad Hitlerum (reducing the opponent to Hitler) or the Hitler ate sugar argument. The reasoning goes as follows: Do you like sugar? Well, so did Hitler. Stop agreeing with Hitler, you Nazi. Essentially, the fallacy constitutes nding a similarity in the subjects opinions and Hitlers opinions, no matter how small, then extrapolating from the similarity that your subject must, (il)logically, be a Nazi. And the fallacy is all too common. On Google Images, Obama Hitler turns up over 3 million results, including a picture of Hitler saying, Quit comparing me to Obama!

the wars in the Middle East to the Holocaust. Its the ultimate ad hominem attack nobody in the modern world is as widely reviled as Hitler except perhaps the devil, and calling somebody the antichrist is rightfully treated as laughable. So when a participant at a political rally holds up a poster of a politician with a Hitler-style mustache, its a form of reductio ad Hitlerum. When a pundit or a politician claims that a reform is reminiscent of a policy enacted once in Germany, its a form of reductio ad Hitlerum. And when the people from La Rouche PAC set up their booth and repeatedly declare that the president is Hitler, its a form of reductio ad Hitlerum. So I have a statement Id like to make against this ridiculous technique: no American public gure is Hitler. The war in Iraq, whether you agree with it or not, is not on the same scale as the Holocaust, nor will universal health care allow the government to execute people at will as the Nazis once did. There are criticisms to be made of many government policies, of Barack Obama and John McCain, of George Bush and Bill Clinton, but none of their actions have been bad enough to be compared at any level to Adolf Hitlers crimes against humanity. Which brings me to my second point. As faction with his lot in life. The meals themselves, and particularly Coogan and Brydons reactions to the delicacies they consume, drag on a bit. The Trip often is at its best when the two are on the move, passing the driving time with hysterically funny reimaginings of Hollywood costume-drama dialogue or speculating about the Brits who came before them while visiting historical landmarks. Winterbottom punctuates their trip with gorgeous shots of the rolling countryside, images lovingly complemented by spare pastoral music from Michael Nyman. The lm closes with snapshots of Coogan and Brydon readjusting once they return to their lives in the city. It provides a very authentic sense of that dream-like feeling people often have coming home from a trip. Youre tired, youre glad to be back in familiar surroundings, yet you still feel in motion

restaurants in a resort area of rural northwest England. On the outs with his girlfriend and unable to get anyone else to come along, Coogan invites pal and sometime colleague Brydon (known mainly as a British TV comedy star and panelshow host) to join him. Along the way, they bicker, chortle, debate the classic English poets and dissect each others personal and professional lives with chummy slyness and more than a little spite. Coogans the diva, always aiming to position himself as the alpha male of the two, yet he lets deep insecurities show through as his character ponders his successes and failures against Brydons self-assuredness and satis-

Mistress Marie-Thrse Walter, whose affair with Picasso began when she was 17, portrayed in voluptuous curves, pastel colors and soft sinuous volumes in Reclining Nude (1932) and in a series of ve bronze busts created in 1931 that range from recognizable representations to the nearly abstract. Mistress Dora Maar, the photographer whose passionate and emotionally charged relationship with Picasso was represented in works characterized by hard-edged, jagged lines, angular forms and acidic colors, such as Portrait of Dora Maar (1937).

PICASSO. He is the one artist known even by those who know no other. Now a signicant part of his legacy comes to San Francisco as the de Young Museum hosts Picasso: Masterpieces from the Muse National Picasso, Paris, an extraordinary exhibition of more than 150 works by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (18811973). The exhibition, made possible because of the temporary closure of the Muse Picasso for extensive renovations, includes paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints. John E. Buchanan Jr., director of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, said, This once-in-a-lifetime exhibition comprises works from every phase of Picassos extraordinary career, including masterpieces from his Blue, Rose, Expressionist, Cubist, Neoclassical and Surrealist periods. These works present eloquent testimony to his role as a protean gure who not only created and contributed to new art forms and movements, but also forever transformed the very denition of art itself. Following on the heels of our recent exhibitions of Impressionism and PostImpressionism, this exhibition represents a natural progression forward to the masterworks of the 20th century. Exhibited chronologically, covering all the phases of Picassos expansive eight-decadelong career and featuring the various media in which he worked, this presentation includes: One of his earliest Paris worksThe Death of Casagemas (1901) The Blue periodLa Clestine (1904) The Rose periodThe Two Brothers (1906) African-inspired proto-Cubist work studies for Les Demoiselles dAvignon (1907)

WEEKEND JOURNAL
PARIS Parlez-moi damour. Speak to me of love. This is Paris and the language is love crazy love amid the creative folly of a city whose ethereal beauty and bawdy underside spell magic. Spend a day, and a de rigueur night, here and you can walk hand-in-hand with Woody Allen through the City of Light he portrays in Midnight in Paris, his sweet and zany valentine to the French capital. Amble down the 21st-century streets of this walking city, and like Allens leading character, Gil (played by Owen Wilson), you could be swept into the past, with the iconic 1930s tune that haunts the movie whispering Speak to me of love in your ear. In Allens Paris, there is no place for rude taxi drivers or haughty waiters. I wanted to show the city emotionally, the way I felt about it, Allen said during a news conference last month in Cannes, where Midnight in Paris opened this years lm festival. It didnt matter to me how real it was or what it reected. It was, he added, Paris through my eyes. Visiting some of the postcard venues Allen splashes from the camera like temples of gastronomy such as Le Grand Vefour on the Right Bank or Laperouse on a Left Bank quai requires reservations and deep pockets. Other dont-miss sites, as well as some hidden delights packed with the Paris of yesteryear, are accessible to all. But dont bother with a plan. Like leading man Gil, a Hollywood hack writer dreaming of penning that great novel, just soak up the atmosphere by wandering the Left Bank of the Seine river, the artsy and intellectual side of the city and the colorful heart of Woodys Paris. Then, step into Deyrolle at 46 rue du Bac,

steps from the Metro of that name. Only in Paris could a taxidermy and curiosity shop be a source of inspiration to artists and occasionally their gathering place. Deyrolle, which dates from 1831, is imbued with history and magic. Youll begin to understand the eclectic ambiance that fed the souls of the lost generation of American writers from F. Scott Fitzgerald to Ernest Hemingway, and the likes of Picasso, Modigliani and others. Climb the stairs to the wondrous menagerie, and into another dimension. You will be greeted by a lion at rest, the heads of deer, elk and other woodland and jungle creatures. Then comes the magnicent polar bear who makes a brief but notable appearance in Midnight in Paris, at a soiree hosted by Fitzgerald and his zany wife Zelda. Owner Prince Louis Albert de Broglie (pronounced de broy) is a modern-day nobleman, preserving the heritage of Deyrolle. But he also makes it his mission to contribute to protecting the species that populate Deyrolle and pass the message of sustainable development. Our idea is not to sell an elephant a day but to give a little part of this magical place to others, he said, stressing that animals on display here succumbed to natural deaths at zoos, circuses and elsewhere. You cannot protect anything if you dont know it, he said. Deyrolle always received artists, from Surrealist writer Andre Breton to Salvador Dali (given a cameo comeback in Allens lm), de
Broglie said. Today, many are inspired by Deyrolle. Artists came to the rescue when Deyrolle was almost lost to a devastating re in 2008, helping fund reconstruction with an auction. While the polar bear and other large creatures go for princely sums, there are souvenirs a visitor can take away, from books to a line of gardening products, Le Prince Jardinier, with items starting at as little as a few euros. Now, on to the next stop. Paris opens its panoply of wonder if the visitor walks down the Boulevard Saint-Germain to Saint-Germain des Pres, dotted by famed literary cafes. Turn left down rue Bonaparte toward the Seine, or get lost in the winding streets on the way. At some point, hit the quai of the Seine. The true wanderer may take hours to reach Shakespeare and Company at 37 rue de la Bucherie, not far from the Saint Michel Metro in the 5th arrondissement, and just across the street from Notre Dame Cathedral. But thats all the more reason to get there. In his movie, Allen only winks with the camera at the shop, an institution steeped in the history of expatriate Americans. A visitor can curl up in a comfy nook, good book in hand, resting feet and soul until 11 p.m. The original site of legendary literary matron Sylvia Beach, a magnet for English-speaking expats like Hemingway, Fitzgerald and the Irish James Joyce, was on the rue de lOdeon not far from 27 rue de Fleurus where Gertrude Stein, writer, art collector and friend of Picasso lived with lover Alice B. Toklas and who is featured in Allens lm (played by Kathy Bates). Shakespeare and Company got a second life in 1951, at the spot lmed in the movie. It, too, drew the expats, and still does. Here, books rst, second- and thirdhand line the walls, and oors, stacked in no particular order, with shelves on the patio outside the front door.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
De Namur University in Belmont, for high school juniors and seniors. While event organizers aim to attract visitors with new and exciting offerings, they have also focused on perfecting and preserving the fairs more traditional elements. Flowers have been featured since the fairs inception, and this year is no different. The agriculture, oral arts and creative home arts competitions remain some of the most popular exhibits at the fair. From funnel cakes the most popular fair food to pig races and youth livestock competitions, fairgoers will have a chance to revisit their favorite attractions. We take pride in producing one of the Bay Areas largest family friendly events, said Dana Stoehr, assistant manager for the San Mateo County Event Center. We focus on attractions that appeal to attendees from 1 to 100 years of age. One of the most consistently popular elements of the fair each year is the live entertainment. From tried-and-true crowd favorites to new and innovative performers, the lineup includes Air Supply, The Four Tops, WAR, Tower of Power, Grand Funk Railroad and Pablo Cruise. Audience members will have the opportunity to hear everything from R&B to funk. All concerts are free with admission and take place each night at 7:30 p.m. We are excited to offer these headline Everson was selected not only for her continuous involvement with CALL, but also for her history with Adopt-a-Unit, PTA and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training, said Andersen. While recipients are typically surprised and taken to their award ceremony at the last minute, Everson was forewarned so she could dress appropriately for her award luncheon held June 6. I would have been in my jeans and tennis shoes because I was going to sub that day, said Everson, who often substitutes for volunteers who cannot make their shifts at CALL. We rely heavily on volunteers, said CALL Executive Director Mary Watt. Thats why Phyllis has been so great. Everson decided to get more involved in the community after retiring from IBM 10 years ago. I needed to do more volunteering and Ive been doing it ever since, she said. Everson has been involved in Burlingames Adopt-a-Unit Committee since its 2007 inception. The committee supports the Bravo Company 101st Airborne Division by sending them care packages while they are on deployment. The group has supported the company through two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, said Everson. At the beginning of the program, she ew out to Fort Campbell, Ky. to meet with the soldiers and nd out what supfall solely through spending cuts, which both parties have said they do not want. The Senates actions Friday represented lawmakers rst votes on the budget since Gov. Jerry Brown revised his spending plan in May. Senators approved most of the Democratic governors proposals, including nearly $3 billion more to schools than originally planned. But they made little headway toward raising state revenues. To that end, Democrats read letters from their local sheriffs and school districts, listing thousands of additional job cuts, larger class sizes and threats to public safety they said would result from an allcuts budget without the tax extensions. Republicans countered that voters wont approve tax extensions, so the bridge tax does nothing but hurt businesses and families and delay the inevitable need for budget cuts. I want to x the problem, said Senate Minority Leader Bob Dutton, R-Rancho Cucamonga. This doesnt x it. What this does is kicking acts and know that they will be a hit with attendees, said Chris Carpenter, general manager of the San Mateo County Event Center. We have music for just about everyone at the fair, from country to rock and roll to rhythm and blues and more. Between touring the exhibits and listening to the bands, visitors will have plenty of opportunities to refuel. Food vendors offering everything from barbecue and corn dogs to Thai food and Mexican cuisine will be open all day and evening for lunch, dinner and snacks. Signs at qualifying booths will designate Healthy Fare food options that are low in fat and feature fruits and vegetables. Thirty-two carnival rides of varying intensity will delight children and adults alike. From the Giant Wheel, which offers panoramic views and a smooth ride, to the Zipper, a wild spinning experience, there are carnival rides to suit all tastes. I look forward to the fair every year, said Alison Bollbach, a Foster City native. I work as a caregiver and the girl I work with loves all of the rides and animals and I enjoy the opportunity to take her somewhere new and different. It is a great place for all ages to go and have something to enjoy. The fair lasts until June 19.

The committee has packing parties, she said, where they assemble 100-plus boxes filled with batteries, snacks, books, etc. Having completed her CERT training a few years ago, Everson is qualied to assist her community and rst responders in an earthquake or other emergency. She helped the program put on an emergency drill for an ofce building and has advocated for increased emergency preparedness in her neighborhood. In 2007, she was given the Red Cross Heroes Award for her volunteering efforts. While her three children were in school, Everson was a Pink Lady volunteer at Mills-Peninsula Hospital. She was active in the PTA through all grade levels, starting with Roosevelt Elementary School, where her grandchildren now attend. She said part of what inspires her to volunteer is the fact that Burlingame enriched the lives of her own children. She added that her daughter, Elizabeth Everson, now volunteers at a local library. Volunteering has taught her that people are very similar and everyone has had hard times. Everyone is so appreciative, she said. You meet so many new people and you nd out youre all alike, no matter what age. the can down the road. Brown wants lawmakers to call a special election in September so voters can decide whether to extend the sales and vehicle tax hikes for ve years and the personal income tax increase for four years. The bridge refers to the period of time between when a budget is adopted for the scal year that begins July 1 and when voters would go to the polls to decide whether they want to renew the 2009 tax increases. Those increases have had Californians paying an extra 1 percent in sales tax, a half percent more for vehicle licenses and a quarter percent higher income tax rate. Some tax lers also have received a lower tax exemption for dependents. The Brown administration estimated the temporary increases have boosted the average amount each California pays in taxes by $260 a year. Once the bridge tax bill failed, Democrats instead passed legislation that allows cities, counties and school districts to increase taxes in their local jurisdictions with voter approval.

Developed by artists, musicians, engineers and scientists through a grant from the Burning Man organization for the 2011 Burning Man festival, the airship utilizes cutting-edge technology, including Tesla coils. Also at the fair this year, Combat Robots, or ComBots, employ new technology that allows friends of all ages to compete against one another. But its not just for technophiles. History buffs can enjoy a new exhibit, Alcatraz: Life on the Rock, that will offer viewers a chance to learn about the prisons infamous inmates through a series of interactive exhibits. Those seeking a slightly more exotic experience will have the opportunity to tour the rainforest exhibit. From monkeys to jungle porcupines and parrots to reptiles, fair guests will see animals and plants from some of the most remote and diverse ecosystems on the planet.

She was told of her award while working one of her regular volunteer shifts at CALL, a faith-based organization in Burlingame that provides food and other assistance to the needy in areas from San Bruno to San Carlos. I love Burlingame. We have a wonderful neighborhood, said Everson, who is a member of the Burlingame First Presbyterian Church. When you see the people and nd a need, its easy to give back. At rst she could not believe she was the recipient of the award. It took some convincing, but I am honored, she said. Everson has answered phones, delivered food and trained volunteers for CALL for about 10 years. Its been fun she said. Volunteers and clients become good friends. Thats the most important thing. Dan Andersen, former Lions Club president and current junior director, said the club reviews nominations by the public for people in non-paid, non-political positions who have a history of volunteering. Sometimes we get a variety of nominations for the same person he said. We got several nominations for Phyllis.

unless they are renewed. Democrats want a one-year renewal to give school districts certainty over their funding before the new school year begins. It is simply scal prudence to extend existing tax rates for a brief period of time, said Sen. Noreen Evans, D-Santa Rosa. In their attempt to continue the tax increases, Democrats for months have tried to bring Republicans on board. But with few signs of a breakthrough as a budget deadline looms, the Legislature might have to solve the remaining short-

Take on an enterprise that could be a second source of income in the next year, if you have the time and means to do so. Even if the returns are minimal and slow to arrive, given enough time they could grow considerably.
GeMInI (May 21-June 20) -- Things should have a positive spin for you at this time, so if you should encounter any problems or stumbling blocks, its a good bet that youre likely to be the one who put them there. CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- It behooves you not to
get involved with any high rollers. Your self-discipline may be a bit fragile, especially when it comes to the management of your resources. LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Stretching the rules in order to serve your personal purposes will get you in trouble, which you can ill afford. Play everything strictly by the rules, not by your rationalizations. VIrGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Forget standing on principle with people whose views diametrically oppose yours, especially involving religion or politics. What starts out as a debate could turn into an argument. LIBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Stop yourself from frivolously dipping into funds that are earmarked for essentials. When those bills are starring you in the face, youll have to ask yourself if it was worth it.
SCOrPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Of course you need to be fair with others, but not to the point of placing yourself at a disadvantage. Theres a chance you might do so, in order to expedite a matter. Resist the urge. SaGIttarIuS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Do everything that is expected of you and then some. Treating your many responsibilities with indifference will result in a whole lot of complications down the line. CaPrICOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Its OK to be optimistic and expectant, but not to the point of being unrealistic. If you are, you could end up anticipating far more from others than theyre capable of delivering. aQuarIuS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be careful not to underestimate your competition when involved in either serious or fun situations. If you think you have
the upper hand, you wont have any fight in you. PISCeS (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Subdue any inclinations you get to embellish your stories in order to impress others. It could get you in a lot of trouble when youre asked to back up your words. arIeS (March 21-April 19) -- Use good judgment when shopping and dont be gullible about something that looks as if its a great buy for the money, but in reality is nothing but good packaging. tauruS (April 20-May 20) -- When bucking the majority, its smarter to keep your opinions to yourself rather than try to sell your idea to those who think differently.

YAYLADAGI, Turkey Elite Syrian forces moved swiftly through the countrys restive north on Friday, raining tank shells on rebellious towns, torching farmland and shooting protesters who tried to tear down a poster of President Bashar Assad, activists and refugees said. At least 32 people were killed, activists said, and undaunted protests extended to every major city. The leader of neighboring Turkey, angered by violence that has sent more than 4,000 Syrians streaming across the border, accused the Assad regime of savagery. Backed by helicopters and tanks, the troops responsible for most of Fridays violence were believed to be from an elite division commanded by Assads younger brother, Maher. The decision to mobilize his unit
against the most serious threats to the 40year Assad regime could be a sign of concern about the loyalty of regular conscripts. Syrians who escaped from the town of Jisr al-Shughour into Turkey said the army came after police turned their guns on each other and soldiers refused orders to fire on protesters last week. Syrian state television has said 120 officers and security personnel were killed by gunmen. A man who remained behind said the few residents left were hoping barricades of burning tires could hold off the reinforcements surrounding them. Twenty-five miles (40 kilometers) to the southeast in the town of Maaret al-Numan, thousands of protesters overwhelmed security officers and torched the courthouse and police station, and the army responded with tank shells, a Syrian opposition figure told the Associated Press by telephone, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

CHANGES
Continued from page 1 covers the western part of San Francisco and extends south into Daly City.While District 8 covers the western half of San Francisco, the eastern half is covered by District 3, represented by Mark Leno,and extends into Marin County. A new Senate seat will cover all of San Francisco. Assemblyman Jerry Hill said he is interested in running for the new San Mateo County Senate seat when it is nalized, but the commission is unclear when the new districts are set to take effect.
David Dreiers district currently spans the foothills of the San Gabriel Valley to San Bernardino County. Under the new map, it disappears into a Democratic district. Rep. Gary Millers current district also blends into Democratic Rep. Judy Chus turf in the San Gabriel Valley. Theres nowhere nearby for him to go, Johnson said of Millers predicament. To the east is a new Latino seat in the Inland Empire.
BRUSSELS In a stern rebuke, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates warned Friday that the future of the historic NATO military alliance is at risk because of European penny-pinching and distaste for front-line combat. The United States wont carry the alliance as a charity case, the outgoing Pentagon chief said. Some NATO countries bristled, but Britain
quickly and heartily agreed. Gates assessment that NATO could face a dim if not dismal future echoes long-standing concern of U.S. policymakers about European defense spending. But rarely, if ever, has Robert Gates it been stated so directly by such a powerful American figure, widely respected in the United States and internationally. taxes currently being blocked by Republicans. In terms of the parties, the Democratic party is certainly happy. The Republican party is certainly unhappy. But there are a lot of happy Republican incumbents and there are a lot of unhappy Democratic incumbents, said Douglas Johnson, a fellow at the Rose Institute of State and Local Government at Claremont McKenna College. On the Republican side in Congress, Rep.
Hill represents District 19, which currently covers much of San Mateo County in the north.It will extend south to cover Redwood City and San Carlos. Assembly District 21, represented by Rich Gordon, will lose Redwood City and San Carlos but move north on the coast to cover Half Moon Bay.District 12, represented by Fiona Ma, would move south a little to cover more of Daly City and Colma. Congressional District 12, represented by Jackie Speier, and Congressional District 14, represented by Anna Eshoo, have small changes at District 12s southern border. For more information on the schedule for other drafts and a nal map,or to see the rst draft of the maps go to www.wedrawthelines.ca.gov.
And Rep. Tom McClintock, who currently represents Northern Californias easternmost counties, would have to compete with Democratic Rep. Doris Matsui in the Sacramento region, which favors her. A lot of state legislators and a lot of members of Congress are going to sit down and think long and hard and decide if they have the desire to run in a potentially tough campaign and I think well see a lot of retirements, Johnson said.
MAPS
Continued from page 1
could change as revisions are made. In the state Legislature, Democrats have a better chance at reaching the critical two-thirds majority in both the Senate and Assembly. Such a threshold would allow the party to pass
