Mr. Smith may have gone to
Washington but President Barack
Obama is coming to Redwood City.
People have asked, Why
Redwood City? and I say, Why
not? said Mayor Alicia Aguirre
who said she is excited, proud and
absolutely planning to attend his
campaign fundraiser at the Fox

Redwood City
has spent the last
weeks in the
frenzy of prepa-
ration for road closures, potential
traffic jams, business shutdowns
and above all else security. As
of Friday afternoon, city ofcials
and downtown business owners
were still waiting for nal marching
orders from the Secret Service.
The core downtown area around
the theater on Broadway is expected
to be barricaded between 3 p.m. and
as late as 10 p.m. The barricade will
likely include all streets within the
area bordered by Marshall and
Winslow streets, Jefferson Avenue
and Middleeld Road.
Businesses are being told they
may have to close up shop by early
afternoon May 23 although those
details might not be solidied until
today.
Directly across from the theater,
the county history museum plans to
close an hour early but all of its
planned tours will be over by 3 p.m.
anyway, said Mitch Postel, presi-
dent of the historical association.
Down the street at Youngs Ice
Cream and Candy Bar, Carlos
Lopez said hes pretty neutral on the
visit. He would love to stay open
that day, particularly with all the
extra people expected, but under-
stands the excitement about any
president coming to town. His shop

Legislative term limits are being
brought into question again with
Proposition 28, which proposes to
reduce the total time a legislator can
serve in ofce from 14 years to 12
years.
Proposition 28 would change the
current system that allows state leg-
islators to serve up to 14 years by
allowing three two-year terms in the
State Assembly and two four-year
terms in the State Senate. A 12-year
period of service is proposed so that
legislators are limited to 12 years
which can be served in either the
Assembly or the Senate, or a combi-
nation of both.
Opponents suggest the proposi-
tion is a sneaky way of extending
terms legislators serve and will actu-
ally result in longer tenures for
politicians. Proponents, however,
say the proposition is a way to keep
lawmakers focused on the job at
hand rather than continually looking
for the next elected ofce opportuni-
ty.
Right now, there is a broken sta-
tus quo. Legislators are looking at
the next election when they should
be focused more on policy, said

Crime may not pay for those on
the wrong side of the law but more
than $700,000 nabbed in drug for-
feitures will help the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Ofce buy a new
plane for in-air law enforcement.
On Tuesday, Sheriff Greg Munks
will ask the Board of Supervisors to
approve the purchase and modica-
tion of a 2012 Cessna 206 plane.
The aircraft, including tax, is valued
at $682,731 with $31,013 in modi-
cations. The $713,744 total pur-
chase price will be completely cov-
ered by asset forfeiture funds which
have already been approved by the
U.S. Department of Justice.
The new plane will replace the
1980 Cessna 206 currently used by
the all-volunteer Sheriffs Air
Squadron. The 32-year-old plane is
electronically outdated and too
noisy for suburban, semi-rural sur-
veillance, Munks wrote to the board
in his request.
The plans are used for counter
drug surveillance, search and rescue
and other types of investigative mis-
sions. Unlike ground surveillance,
the planes are virtually undetectable
which make them an invaluable

Cori McKenzie starts her day with
music, typically classical, which
plays as she walks by one of the rst
classrooms at Central Elementary
School in Belmont.
Its that kind of small detail which
McKenzie will miss once she retires
after this school year. Leaving isnt
really leaving. She lives in Belmont,
a few blocks from the school, sur-
rounded by Central students.
McKenzie has plans to stay in touch
and involved when she can but it
wont be exactly the same. She may
not see the community, which has a
family feel, as often. That being
said, shes condent the wonderful
staff, parents and children will con-
tinue to succeed.
Im not sure how many people
can say they love their job; that they
have a total passion for it, she said.
I take such rich memories with
me.
Those in the district similarly
think fondly of her.
Shes like an institution in our
district, said Brian Matthews, pres-
ident of the Belmont-Redwood
Shores Elementary School District.
Matthews said he was sad to see
her leave, but was excited shell
have the opportunity for new adven-

Facebooks Mark Zuckerberg
marries sweetheart
PALO ALTO Facebook founder
and CEO Mark Zuckerberg updated his
status to married on Saturday.
Zuckerberg and 27-year-old Priscilla
Chan tied the knot at a small ceremony at
his Palo Alto home, capping a busy week
for the couple.
Zuckerberg took his company public
in one of the most anticipated stock
offerings in Wall Street history Friday.
And Chan graduated from medical
school at the University of California,
San Francisco, on Monday, the same day
Zuckerberg turned 28.
The couple met at Harvard and have
been together for more than nine years.
A source authorized by the couple to
speak said Zuckerberg designed the ring
featuring a very simple ruby.
The ceremony took place in
Zuckerbergs backyard before fewer than
100 guests, who all thought they were
there to celebrate Chans graduation.
Even after the IPO, Zuckerberg
remains Facebooks single largest share-
holder, with 503.6 million shares. And he
controls the company with 56 percent of
its voting stock.
The site, which was born in a dorm
room eight years ago, has grown into a
worldwide network of almost a billion
people.
Zuckerberg founded Facebook at
Harvard in 2004.
He was named as Times Person of the
Year in 2010, at age 26.
Zuckerberg grew up in Dobbs Ferry,
N.Y.
Kravitz is guest designer
of Toms collection
NEW YORK If its got his name on
it, Lenny Kravitz says he has been
involved in it 100 percent, so when you
see his stamp on the new collection of
Toms shoes, know the Bahamas beach-
meets-modern architecture inuence is
genuine.
If Im in, Im in it all the way,
Kravitz says.
The singer got involved in designing
the shoes with Toms founder Blake
Mycoskie at the urging of his daughter,
Zoe. She was wearing Toms casual slip-
ons all the time. She also explained the
brands larger mission of donating a pair
of shoes to someone in need for every
pair sold.
Once they met about two years ago,
Kravitz says, he and Mycoskie hit it off.
Theyd like to do together one of the
Toms shoe drops, possibly in Brazil or
the Bahamas this summer, squeezing it in
between the second leg of Kravitzs
world tour that will take him through
Europe and Africa. He also has two
movie projects going, including the sec-
ond installment of The Hunger Games.
The thing a lot of people dont know
about Lenny isnt just his amazing per-
sonal taste in fashion and style, but he
also designs wallpaper and furniture, and
he sees a bigger picture, Mycoskie says.
His greatest contribution to the collec-
tion is adding prints, Mycoskie says,
including one decorated Let Love
Rule, from his song.
Kravitz says the basic Toms look
fabric shoes that arent frilly or overly
structured ts his wardrobe, even if
they remind me a little of the shoes my
mom would wear in the 70s.
He stocks pairs for guests to wear in
his homes, where he has a no street
shoe rule. No shoes in my house, he
explains. I like to lay around the oors,
and I have nice oor coverings and shags
and sheepskins, and I dont like bringing
in things from the outside.
Kravitz says he aims to create a gener-
al vibe, through his clothes, decorating
and broader lifestyle choices, to be com-
fortable, creative, engaging and inviting.
And he has no problem looking for the
same from passers-by.
I love people watching. I love observ-
ing what people do and how they express
themselves, he says. Its inspiring to
see what people do and how they twist
things to make themselves unique, even
if its something you would never do.
But life is full of surprises. He never
expected, for instance, to be part of the
tween-teen phenomenon The Hunger
Games, taking on the stylist role of
Cinna, who helps Jennifer Lawrences
character cultivate an image through her
clothes.

MILLBRAE I
recently attended a
family funeral in
Southern California.
The burial took
place at a long
established Catholic
Cemetery which
later decided to build a Mortuary facility on
their property. I knew from past experience
that this cemetery was well maintained and
had a good reputation. The immediate
family had other loved-ones buried at the
cemetery and wished to return this time too.
With the knowledge that this cemetery had a
Mortuary on the grounds they trusted it to be
convenient and decided to have this facility
handle the funeral arrangements.
Prior to the funeral I had some phone
contact with the Mortuary staff and saw
nothing out of the ordinary. But soon after I
spoke to family members who relayed
troubling details such as higher than average
costs, questionable service and other
apprehensions that raised a red-fag. I
listened carefully taking into consideration
that funerals and arrangements may be
conducted differently in Southern California
(as compared to here on the Peninsula).
Later though I discovered that these
concerns and others were all valid as I
experienced them myself during the funeral.
Coming from the background of owning
a family run and community supportive
funeral home I was embarrassed at what I
saw as a production line process with little
compassion or time to care for the families
this Mortuary is supposed to be serving.
I wondered how the Catholic Church
could allow this Mortuary to operate in such
a manner? Well, I did some research and
discovered that the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles has mortuaries located on a
number of their cemetery properties, but
does not operate them. According to the
Funeral Consumers Alliance of Southern
California the Archdiocese has an
arrangement with Stewart Enterprises
which is a New Orleans based mortuary
corporation. Stewart Enterprises runs a
website called Catholic Mortuaries.com
giving a misleading impression to many that
the Catholic Church operates these facilities.
When patronizing one of these
mortuaries on Catholic cemetery grounds
most families assume that they will be
receiving a level of comfort as they would
from their local church or parish priest.
None of this was evident during my
experience of extremely high costs
(compared to what was received) and the
dis-interested service provided by the
mortuary staff. I dont see this as a failing
of the Catholic cemetery, but of those in
charge of running this mortuary.
The point Im trying to make is to do
your homework and shop for a Funeral
establishment you are comfortable with.
Just because a Mortuary is located on
cemetery property doesnt mean they are
your only choice or that they offer fair costs
or give better quality ofservice. You have
the right to select what ever funeral home
you wish to conduct the arrangements. Talk
to various funeral directors, and ask friends
and families who they would recommend.
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

Juan Huitron found himself struggling to
keep up in classes at San Mateo High School.
His classes were challenging and Huitron
wasnt nding his groove at the school. And,
he was nding limited opportunities to get the
extra help needed to catch up. At the end of his
sophomore year, Huitrons counselor suggest-
ed he enroll at Peninsula High School, the dis-
tricts continuation high school which offers
students an opportunity to make up credits.
The decision changed things for Huitron who,
after one year, was on track to graduating on
time.
Juan Huitron is the perfect shining exam-
ple of academic improvement, becoming
socially responsible, and is a smiling young
man who brings fresh air to any space he is
in, Huitrons teachers wrote about him.
Every day, Juan is a friendly and kind posi-
tive inuence on both students and staff. You
cannot be around Juan without bearing an
authentic and warm smile, as he brings out the
best in everyone around him.
The third of four children, Huitron was an
active child who loved to play with his friends
and often hoped to become a probation ofcer.
He attended Horrall Elementary and Borel
Middle schools before enrolling at San Mateo
High School. It was at Peninsula, however,
that he found much needed support.
Here, the whole staff helps me. Its been a
big turning point, he said. I feel like Im in
the right place here.
Huitron is part of the campus Leo Club, a
service organization, and often helps by vol-
unteering at the King Center in San Mateo.
Getting his grades up, and keeping them up,
was a huge victory for Huitron who also said
he has gained a better understanding to a num-
ber of subjects. Huitron also attributed his new
classmates as being a help. Now, he explained,
hes surrounded by friends who all want to do
something positive with their lives. At the
beginning of his senior year, Huitron learned
his decision to embrace a new school paid off.
He was on track to graduate with his class.
Now, Huitron is looking forward to the
summer. Hell celebrate turning 18 with his
family in Disneyland then return to get his dri-
vers license and nd a job. Huitron plans to
attend the College of San Mateo. He isnt sure
what major hell pursue, but has an interest in
auto mechanics a trade hes been intro-
duced to through his father.
Peninsula High Schools graduation will be
held 2 p.m. Thursday, May 31 at Skyline
College in San Bruno. Tickets are required.
Great Grads is in its seventh year proling

FROM WIRE REPORTS
A Toyota Prius lost control and slammed
into two motorcycles on Highway 101 early
Sunday, sending three to the hospital.
The driver of the Prius was allegedly record-
ing the members of two motorcycle clubs on a
cellphone as they traveled northbound on
Highway 101 near San Mateo when the car
lost control and hit the two motorcycles.
according to the California Highway Patrol.
The driver was allegedly assaulted and
threatened after the incident, according to the
CHP.
The crash occurred near the Ralston Avenue
exit. The driver allegedly swerved into the
center divider while recording and then hit one
rider and then another as it went back into traf-
c, according to the CHP.
After the accident, other bikers riding with
the group hit the Prius driver in the head and
threatened him, according to the CHP. None
of the riders were arrested and the assault is
still under investigation. The Prius driver was
cited on suspicion of driving while distracted

to a local hospital with minor injuries.
Some of the bikers at the scene of the crash
were Hells Angels and others were members
of the Original Kings motorcycle club.

Two gun-toting suspects rob liquor store
A San Mateo County liquor storeowner was robbed at gun-
point by two suspects Friday night, according to the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Ofce.
The strong-armed robbery was reported at 9:01 p.m. at One

Fair Oaks near Redwood City, according to sheriff's ofcials.
The owner told deputies that one suspect pointed a black
semi-automatic handgun at him and demanded he open the
crash register, sheriffs ofcials said.

Millions look
skyward as
eclipse crosses
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Millions in Asia and the west-
ern United States watched as a rare ring of re eclipse
crossed their skies.
The annular eclipse, in which the moon passes in front of the
sun leaving only a golden ring around its edges, was visible to
wide areas across Asia early Monday. It then moved across the
Pacic and was also seen in parts of the western United States
Sunday afternoon.
Viewing parties were held in Reno, Nev., Oakland, Calif.,
and elsewhere. In some parts of the U.S., special camera lters
for taking photographs have been sold out for weeks in antici-
pation of the big event.
People from Colorado, Oklahoma and as far away as Canada
traveled to Albuquerque to enjoy one of the best vantage
points.
Members of the crowd smiled and cheered and children
yelled with excitement as the moon crossed the sun and the
blazing halo of light began to form. Eventually, the moon cen-
tered and covered 96 percent of the sun.
Thats got to be the prettiest thing Ive ever seen, said
Brent Veltri of Salida, Colo.
Albuquerque city ofcials had urged residents to go to
organized events or watch one of the many live webcasts to
avoid damaging their eyes.
The eclipse cannot be viewed with the naked eye or even
sunglasses. And solar glasses, which make the sun look like a
huge orange disc, are a rare commodity in communities along
the eclipses path.
In Japan, eclipse tours were arranged at schools and parks,
on pleasure boats and even private airplanes. Similar events
were held in China and Taiwan as well, with skywatchers
warned to protect their eyes.
The eclipse was broadcast live on TV in Tokyo, where such
an eclipse hasnt been visible since 1839. Japanese TV crews
watched from the top of Mount Fuji and even staked out a zoo
south of Tokyo to capture the reaction of the chimpanzees
who didnt seem to notice.

CHICAGO President Barack
Obama and NATO allies declared
Sunday that the end of the long and
unpopular Afghanistan war is in
sight even as they struggled to hold
their ghting force together in the
face of dwindling patience and
shaky unity.
From his hometown and the city
where his re-election operation
hums, Obama spoke of a post-2014
world when the Afghan war as we
understand it is over. Until then,
though, remaining U.S. and allied
troops face the continued likelihood
of erce combat.
Gen. John
Allen, the top
commander of
U.S. and NATO
forces in
Af gha ni s t a n,
offered a stern
warning Sunday
that the plan to
give Afghan
forces the lead in ghting next sum-
mer wont take coalition troops out
of harms way. It doesnt mean that
we wont be ghting, Allen said.
It doesnt mean that there wont be
combat.
The fate of the war is both the
center of this summit and a topic no
one is celebrating as a mission
accomplished. The alliance already
has one foot out the Afghanistan
door, Obama has his ear attuned to
the politics of an economy-driven
presidential election year and other
allies are pinching pennies in a
European debt crisis.
As NATO powers and other
nations contributing to the war
effort gathered, the alliances top
ofcer, Anders Fogh Rasmussen,
asserted that there will be no rush
for the exits in Afghanistan. Our
goal, our strategy, our timetable
remain unchanged, he said.
In fact, the strategy has shifted
many times over the course of more
than 10 years of war, and the goal
narrowed to objectives focused on
the long-term security of the mostly
Western nations ghting there. The
timetable has also moved, despite
the overall commitment to keep for-
eign forces in Afghanistan into
2014.
Tension over newly elected
French President Francois
Hollandes pledge to end his coun-
trys combat mission two years
early infused the meeting. German
Chancellor Angela Merkel pointed-
ly cited the credo of the allies in the
Afghanistan war, in together, out
together, and her foreign minister
cautioned against a withdrawal
competition by coalition countries.
Hollande said he was merely
being pragmatic in keeping a cam-
paign pledge to pull combat troops
this year but this still would let the
alliance continue to work.
While Frances new posture obvi-
ously rattled the leaders, Allen
betrayed no concern about the coali-
tions common purpose coming
unglued. The mantra of this partic-
ular mission has been in together,
out together, he told reporters.
NATO: End of Afghan war in sight
Barack Obama
CHICAGO Thousands of protesters
marched through downtown Chicago on
Sunday in one of the citys largest demonstra-
tions in years, airing grievances about war,
climate change and a wide range of other
complaints as world leaders assembled for a
NATO summit.
The protest, which for months had stirred
worries about violence in the streets, drew
together a broad assortment of participants,
including peace activists joining with war vet-
erans and people more focused on economic
inequality. But the diversity of opinions also
sowed doubts about whether there were too
many messages to be effective.
And some of the most enduring images of
the event were likely to be from the end
when a small group of demonstrators clashed
with a line of police who tried to keep them
from the lakeside convention center where
President Barack Obama was hosting the
gathering.
The protesters tried to move east toward
McCormick Place, with some hurling sticks
and bottles at police. Ofcers responded by
swinging their batons.
The two sides were locked in a standoff for
nearly two hours, with police blocking the
protesters path and the crowd refusing to
leave. Some protesters had blood streaming
down their faces.
Authorities were seen making arrests one
by one and leading individual demonstrators
away in handcuffs.

SANTAGOSTINO DI FER-
RARA, Italy A magnitude-6.0
earthquake shook several small
towns in northeast Italy Sunday,
killing four people, knocking down a
clock tower and other centuries-old
buildings and causing millions in
losses to the region known for mak-
ing Parmesan cheese.
The quake struck at 4:04 a.m.,
with its epicenter about 35 kilome-
ters (22 miles) north of Bologna at a
relatively shallow depth of 5 kilome-
ters (3.2 miles), the U.S. Geological
Survey said. Civil protection agency
ofcial Adriano Gumina described it
as the worst quake to hit the region
since the 1300s.
The four people killed were facto-
ry workers on the overnight shift
when their buildings, in three sepa-
rate locations, collapsed, agency
chief Franco Gabrielli said, In addi-
tion, he said, two women died
apparently of heart attacks that may
have been sparked by fear. Sky TG24
TV reported one of them was about
100 years old.
Gabrielli said dozens of people
were injured.
Two of the dead were workers at a
ceramics factory in the town of
SantAgostino di Ferrara. Their cav-
ernous building turned into a pile of
rubble, leaving twisted metal sup-
ports jutting out at odd angles and
the roof mangled.
This is immense damage, but the
worst part is we lost two people, fel-
low worker Stefano Zeni said. News
reports said one of the dead had
worked the shift of an ill colleague.
Elsewhere in the town, another
worker was found dead under facto-
ry rubble.
In the town of Ponte Rodoni di
Bondeno, a worker also died as his
factory collapsed, emergency work-
ers told Italian news agencies.
Premier Mario Monti, in Chicago
for the NATO summit, told reporters
he was returning to Italy before the
meeting ends because of the quake.
The quake struck in the farm
region known for production of
Parmigiano and Grana cheeses.
Italys farm lobby Coldiretti said that
some 200,000 huge, round cheeses
were damaged, causing a loss to pro-
ducers of ?50 million ($65 milion).
It also said in a statement that at
least three barn roofs collapsed, trap-
ping an unspecied number of pigs
and milk cows inside.
Emilio Bianco, receptionist at
Modenas Canalgrande hotel
housed in an ornate 18th-century
palazzo said the quake was a
strong one, and it lasted quite a long
time.

People from a hospital for the elderly receive rst aid after an earthquake
in Finale Emilia Sunday.
BEIJING A blind Chinese legal
activist was hurriedly taken from a
hospital and put on a plane for the
United States on Saturday, closing a
nearly monthlong diplomatic tussle
that had tested U.S.-China relations.
Chen Guangcheng, sitting in a
wheelchair and accompanied by his
wife and two children, boarded
United Airlines Flight 88 for the 12-
hour ight to Newark, outside New
York City, a few hours after Chinese
authorities suddenly told him to
pack and prepare to leave.
Thousands of thoughts are surg-
ing to my mind, Chen said at the
airport. His concerns, he said,
included whether authorities would
retaliate for his negotiated departure
by punishing his relatives left
behind. It also is unclear whether the
government will allow him to return.
A self-taught legal activist, Chen
asked his supporters and others in
the activist com-
munity for their
understanding of
his desire to
leave the front
lines of the
rights struggle in
China.
I am request-
ing a leave of
absence, and I
hope that they
will understand, he said.
The Chens departure to the
United States marks the conclusion
of nearly a month of uncertainty and
years of mistreatment by local
authorities for the activist.
After seven years of prison and
house arrest, Chen made a daring
escape from his rural village in late
April and was given sanctuary
inside the U.S. Embassy, triggering
a diplomatic standoff over his fate.
With Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton in Beijing for
annual high-level discussions, of-
cials struck a deal that let Chen walk
free, only to see him have second
thoughts, forcing new negotiations
that led to an agreement to send him
to the U.S. to study law a goal of
his at New York University.
Moments after his departure from
Beijing, State Department spokes-
woman Victoria Nuland conrmed
that Chen was en route to the U.S.
and praised the quiet negotiations
that freed him.
We are looking forward to his
arrival in the United States later
today, Nuland said in a statement.
We also express our appreciation
for the manner in which we were
able to resolve this matter and to
support Mr. Chens desire to study
in the U.S. and pursue his goals.
The White House also said it was
pleased with the outcome of negotia-
tions between the Chinese government
and the State Department that allowed
Chen to leave China with his family.

Convicted Lockerbie bomber
dies of cancer in Libya
TRIPOLI, Libya He was the
embodiment of one of modern
Libyas darkest chapters a man
synonymous with horrifying scenes
of wreckage, broken families and a
plane that fell out of the sky a gen-
eration ago. His name, Abdel Baset
al-Megrahi, was little known com-
pared to the single word that his
deeds represented: Lockerbie.
Seven months after his patron dic-
tator Moammar Gadha was slain in
a revolution that began a new chap-
ter for his homeland, al-Megrahi
died Sunday of cancer, leaving
behind countless unanswered ques-
tions about the midair attack in 1988
that blew up Pan Am ight 103 over
Scotland. All 259 people on board
mostly Americans and 11 on
the ground were killed.
I am an innocent man, al-
Megrahi insisted, most recently in
his nal interview in December, in
the nal stages of prostate cancer. I
am about to die and I ask now to be
left in peace with my family.
Bomb kills student,
wounds 7 in Italy
ROME A bomb exploded on
Saturday outside an Italian high
school named after the wife of an
assassinated anti-Maa prosecutor,
killing one student and wounding at
least seven others, ofcials said.
There was no immediate claim of
responsibility, and police were try-
ing to determine who had planted the
bomb. But an anti-Maa prosecutor
said it didnt appear to be the kind of
attack that organized crime has car-
ried out in Italy. The bombing also
followed a spate of attacks against
Italian ofcials by a group of anar-
chists. The device went off a few
minutes before 8 a.m. in town of
Brindisi in the countrys south just as
students milled outside, chatting and
getting ready for class at the mainly
all-girls Francesca Laura Morvillo
Falcone vocational institute.

Politicians not cutting it
Editor,
California is currently facing a $16 bil-
lion decit, and the United States is facing
a decit so large that it has never been
seen before. California Democrats will not
even consider cutting social programs, and
Republicans are not even remotely inter-
ested in raising taxes. Congress is spend-
ing money like drunken idiots told they
have only a day left to live.
Also, we are told that Obama needs to
talk to his wife and children before he can
decide his position on gay marriage. He
decided that he was, indeed, for it
(although he was against it in 2008). So, it
got me to thinking that, if a Republican
was posed the same question and had a
change of heart (I was not for it in 2008
but I am for it now), the media would
have had a eld day and we would be
reading about the Republican gaffe for
the next three days.
The Employment Development
Department, under the Keep Your Home
California program, has sent to those who
are currently receiving unemployment
benets and have a mortgage a letter stat-
ing that, provided they meet certain crite-
ria (one of which is that the person is cur-
rently receiving unemployment insurance
benets), the program will pay for the
mortgage payment for nine months; how-
ever, if the benets run out, the program
will stop paying the mortgage. So, the
person not only has lost their unemploy-
ment benets but now has to pay their
own mortgage again.
Am I the only one that has a sinking
feeling that the other shoe just may be
close to falling? What do we need to do to
get the politicians to work together for the
betterment of all Californians and the
nation, because, right now, they are not
cutting it.

One nation divided
Editor,
As our state works out a new budget,
and our nation prepares to elect the next
president, people should know of the two
versions of America to look forward to.
The rst is a nation that looks from the top
down. A nation where corporations are
given free rein to do business without reg-
ulations. By this I mean employee salaries,
number of staff, new business sites, bene-
ts, etc. As part of this, many government
employees are receiving pensions as high
as $100,000 per year and no lower than
$50,000 per year. The government is not
asking them to surrender a dime to help
out the economy. Also public programs
that helped make California a great place
to live are cut and eliminated. In San
Mateo County, it is no secret that top
administrators continue to see life get bet-
ter for themselves as painful cuts in serv-
ices are made.
The second version of America to look
forward to is a nation that reinvests in
itself. The country that FDR gave us with
the works project and the GI Bill. Through
the works project, money was invested in
creating jobs and building such things as
roads and bridges. Its better than hiring
more police ofcers to lock people up who
out of desperation have turned to a life of
crime. Also the GI Bill allowed are veter-
ans to return to college, and gain an edu-
cation. It also allowed them to purchase
new homes for themselves, and their fami-
lies. This is a country looking from the
bottom up with fairness and respect for
everyone.

Disappointed in
downtown plan amendment
Editor,
We were very disappointed to learn that
the Redwood City Planning Commission
approved a recommendation to amend the
Downtown Precise Plan allowing ground
oor ofce spaces in the downtown core
and entertainment district. Is ofce space
part of an ideal downtown formula?
Absolutely! But not along the main corri-
dor. If you wander down University or
California avenues in Palo Alto, Laurel
Street in San Carlos or Santa Cruz Avenue
in Menlo Park you will see models of
what we should be striving for. Ofce
space should occupy side streets and the
second oor (and above) of multi-story
buildings.
Our downtown is already hampered by
the presence of many county buildings
whose staff and clientele take up a mid-
day, mid-week presence but vacates the
area in the evenings and on the weekends.
Adding an additional ofce space presence
along Broadway will only further a "ghost
town" feel by creating dark, inactive store-
fronts that add no pedestrian draw.
Everyone needs to be patient and stick
to the original plan. The Peninsula and
Silicon Valley are on the cusp of another
tech boom thanks to Apple, Facebook,
Google and others. The residential and
commercial markets in San Francisco are
very competitive and people are looking
for attractive, affordable alternatives.
Redwood City could service these need
and provide a lively, appealing downtown
atmosphere.
Finally, our home is within one mile of
the downtown core. Not only do we enjoy
the proximity for our own use but the state
of the downtown reects on our home
value. Weve invested a considerable
amount of money in our home and it is in
our best interests, as well as the interests
of our community, to see that the down-
town grows into a thriving, attractive city
center.

Letters to the editor
The Kansas City (Mo.) Star
E
ach year, Washington awards visas
to immigrants who bring skills
and qualications prized by high-
tech companies. This is an eminently sen-
sible policy, since highly trained immi-
grants add greatly to the nations stock of
human capital and as a group, they have a
high propensity to start companies of their
own. That creates more jobs for
Americans.
Theres one problem. The number of
these special visas, called H1-Bs, is too
low only 65,000, with 20,000 more
awarded each year to foreign students with
masters degrees or higher from a U.S.
university.
This means that our world-class univer-
sity system, supported to a great extent by
tax dollars, is training thousands of smart
foreign students, who then take those tal-
ents back home and start companies that
compete with U.S. enterprises.
You can thank Congress for this because
Congress caps the number of H1-Bs. But
Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran, a Republican,
and Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, a
Democrat, have drafted a bill aimed at eas-
ing this bottleneck.
Their bill, called the Startup Act, would
make it easier for new companies to raise
nancial capital by rolling back certain
taxes, but its most signicant provisions
would greatly expand the number of visas
available to foreign-born talent. It would
authorize a new visa category for 50,000
foreign students who earn a masters
degree or higher in a technical eld sci-
ence, technology, engineering or math. A
total of 75,000 additional visas would go
to foreign-born entrepreneurs who register
a new rm or raise $100,000 in capital
while in the United States on another cate-
gory of visa.
Whats a mystery is why more of their
colleagues arent willing to sign onto a bill
that will bring more technical and entre-
preneurial talent to our country.
Work visas for foreign talent The United
States deserves
a better health
care system
By Puja K. Sarna
O
ur nation waits with bated breath to learn
the verdict on health care reform. If sup-
ported by the Supreme Court, access to
U.S. health care will be greatly improved.
Currently, we have programs to support certain
groups Medicare supports those older than 65
and the disabled, CHIP supports mothers and chil-
dren, university-mandated health care supports col-
lege students, prison health care supports prisoners.
The only people not getting health care now are:
adults without children who havent committed a
crime and ended up in prison. In the end, dont all
citizens deserve health care? America deserves
healthy citizens so we can work hard, love our
families and pursue happiness.
Why is the United
States the only industri-
al nation to not have a
universal health care for
its citizens? Though
there are benets to
having private insur-
ance, a universal plan
doesnt exclude private
insurance. If you can
afford it, good on you!
But, the private insur-
ance consumer also
benets from having
their community cared
for. We are capitalistic, but certainly not barbaric.
How could we deny health care to someone dying
from cancer? How can we ask an older patient to
spend every cent theyve earned on a surgery or
treatment to save their life? If we all give a little,
we can have a great good for ourselves, for our
families and for our communities. U.S. citizens
deserve health care.
The health care reform bill will help bring and
keep nurses in health care. It will also allow us to
provide more affordable, more cost-conscious care
by using highly trained, highly educated nurse
practitioners.
The bill will have an important impact on nurs-
ing. The bill will:
Reauthorizes the Title VIII Nursing Workforce
Development Programs which will provide dollars
to support nursing education so the United States
can bring new nurses into the eld. This means
good jobs for Americans.
National Nurse Service Corps: Creates opportu-
nities for disadvantaged areas to get nurses, while
nurses get credit toward paying down student debt.
Nurse-Managed Clinics: Adds clinics managed
by advanced practice nurse practitioners.
Nurse-Family Home Visit Partnerships:
Increases funding to support home visits for new
moms and babies to help teach infant care, breast
feeding and to follow up on required medical
assessment and care.
School-Based Health Centers: Creates health
centers on campuses to help students of all back-
grounds access primary health care.
As a nursing student at UCSF in oncology nurs-
ing, I have seen far too many patients come to the
hospital, usually through the emergency room,
because they have a cough that wont go away or
they throw up blood one night or they suddenly
have a seizure without any foretelling symptoms.
These patients, previously healthy, didnt have
insurance because they cant afford private health
care. Why would they? They are young adults and
working hard and invincible. They have no
knowledge that well, unexpected things happen. A
health problem shouldnt lead to bankruptcy. We
are a great nation, one that Im so proud to live in.
Lets become greater by supporting health care for
each citizen.
Puja K. Sarna is a San Mateo local and is currently
pursuing a masters degree in oncology nursing at
the University of California, San Francisco. She is
passionate about excellent quality patient care and
hopes to work locally serving the San Mateo commu-
nity she grew up in.

BUSINESS 10
STEER CLEAR OF THE HYPE
By Bernard Condon
NEW YORK First, forget the numbers and go with your
gut: Given the breathless press coverage, the ubiquity of its
product, the Oscar-winning lm about its unlikely success and
the rock-star status of its 28-year-old founder, do you really
believe the smart folks on Wall Street coming up with a stock
price for Facebook resisted the temptation to wring every cent
out of buyers?
In investing, hype is the enemy. I was skeptical from the start.
The company listed a range of possible prices for its initial
public offering of stock, then raised it, then told us that insid-
ers and early investors would be selling even more of their
shares in the offering than they had planned. Now Im con-
vinced: Dont touch this stock.
The banks helping take Facebook public want us to value
this 8-year-old upstart at $104 billion, more than Disney or
Kraft Foods, though those companies earn three and four times
more. That top valuation is also more than 100 times
Facebooks earnings last year, versus 13 times for the average
company.
At such a high price, it will take years for this so-called earn-
ings multiple to fall to a more reasonable level, and thats
assuming the company can maintain its torrid earnings growth.
To make money in Facebook, youre betting that other buy-
ers will be just as willing as you to hold their nose at the valu-
ation, and keep doing so for years.
Facebook grew its earnings 65 percent last year, faster than
at most companies, so you should pay more for it than you
would the typical company. But how much more? Prots at
Apple grew 85 percent last year. Its stock is trading at 13 times
earnings per share.
And while the big prot growth for Facebook is impressive,
its slowing, and has been for three years. Last quarter, the
growth turned negative, meaning it fell down 12 percent
from the rst three months a year earlier.
PRESS THE LIKE BUTTON, SOON
By Michael Liedtke
SAN FRANCISCO I doubted Mark Zuckerberg when I
met him more than ve years ago, shortly after he rebuffed sev-
eral chances to sell Facebook for what was a fortune even then.
He seemed condent to the point of being cocky about his
ability to turn what started as an online hangout for college stu-
dents into a digital commune for the entire world. Facebook
had about 20 million users at the time.
While listening to Zuckerberg ponticate on Facebooks
potential to become a more important communication channel
than long-established media outlets, I wondered whether this
then-22-year-old kid was deluded.
Had he screwed up by not accepting one of those buyout bids
ranging from $800 million to $1.5 billion that were dangled
before him during 2005 and 2006?
Clearly not. Now I think investors who dont buy some
Facebook stock within the next month will regret it in ve
years, when the Internets largest social network will have
more users than the population of China.
As it is, Facebook has more than 900 million users and will
have an initial market value of $104 billion more than twice
the combined value of two former suitors, Yahoo and Viacom.
Zuckerberg, who turned 28 on Monday, pulled off the initial
public offering just eight years after starting Facebook in his
Harvard dorm room. Just imagine what he might be able to
accomplish by the time he turns 35, now that Facebook has
raised $6.8 billion in its IPO.
But dont wait too long to nd out. At some point in the next
few days or weeks, seize on the IPO as a rare opportunity to
prosper from the ingenuity of a headstrong visionary in the
mold of Apples Steve Jobs, Microsofts Bill Gates and
Googles Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
There is one difference: None of them was named Time
magazines person of the year in his mid-20s, as Zuckerberg
was in 2010.
Debate: Should you jump
in on debut of Facebook?
NEW YORK Authorities in China
have approved Google Inc.s bid to buy
phone maker Motorola Mobility, clear-
ing the way for the $12.5 billion deal to
close early next week.
But Chinese regulators attached a big
condition: That Googles Android oper-
ating system for mobile devices remain
available to all at no cost for the next ve
years.
The approval brings the Internet
search giant closer to sealing its biggest
acquisition ever. Buying Motorola
allows Google to expand into manufac-
turing phones, tablet computers and
other consumer devices for the rst time.
The deal also gives Google access to
more than 17,000 Motorola patents.
The Chinese government approved the
deal on Saturday, Google spokeswoman
Niki Fenwick said. We look forward to
closing the deal, she said.
The deal was announced last August
and had received all necessary regulato-
ry approvals except in China, where
Googles government relations have
been strained since it moved its search
engine out of the country two years ago
in a dispute over censorship and com-
puter security.
Google prizes Motorola Mobility
Holdings Inc.s patents as a crucial
weapon in the intellectual arms race with
Apple, Microsoft and other rivals
maneuvering to gain more control over
smartphones, tablets and other mobile
devices.
Googles Android software powers
more than 250 million mobile devices
made by a variety of manufacturers,
including Motorola Mobility. The latest
versions must be made available free of
charge for the next ve years, apparently
in response to concerns that competition
could be hurt if Google gives updated
versions to Motorola Mobility and with-
holds them from others. Google doesnt
currently charge for Android.
Google earlier had pledged to make
Android available to all its mobile part-
ners. Even if Google were to discrimi-
nate, cellphone makers still could rely
on mobile software from Microsoft
Corp., Research in Motion and Hewlett-
Packard Co., among others.
Google gets China OK for Motorola deal
By Marcus Wohlsen
SAN FRANCISCO A watchful eye
has arrived on San Franciscos bar scene,
but not to keep you in check. It just wants
to check you out.
A new app launched this weekend
that will scan the faces of patrons in 25
bars across the city to determine their
ages and genders. Would-be customers
can then check their smartphones for
real-time updates on the crowd size,
average age and men-to-women mix to
decide whether the scene is to their lik-
ing.
The Austin, Texas-based makers of
SceneTap say the app doesnt identify
specific individuals or save personal
information. But in a city known for its
love of both libations and civil liberties,
a backlash erupted even before the rst
cameras were switched on from bar-
goers who said they would boycott any
venue with SceneTap installed.
SceneTaps ability to guess how old
people are and whether theyre men or
women relies on advances in a eld
known as biometrics. A camera at the
door snaps your picture, and software
maps your features to a grid. By measur-
ing distances such as the length between
the nose and the eyes and the eyes and the
ears, an algorithm matches your dimen-
sions to a database of averages for age and
gender.
SceneTap CEO Cole Harper says the
app doesnt invade patrons privacy
because the only data it stores is their
estimated ages and genders and the time
they arrived not their images or
measurements.
Nothing that we do is collecting per-
sonal information. Its not recorded, its
not streamed, its not individualized,
Harper said.
Whether the companys promises are
comforting or SceneTap still seems
creepy, it portends a near future when any
camera-equipped smartphone will have
the ability to recognize faces with a click
of the virtual shutter.
Already the iPhones camera app will
highlight a persons face on the screen
with a green box before the picture is even
snapped. And Apples iPhoto software
will try to recognize the faces of the peo-
ple in users pictures to categorize photos
automatically by whos in the shot.
Facebook also uses facial recognition
software that tries to identify any friends
in a photo a user uploads.
SceneTaps San Francisco debut came
the same day Facebook went public.
Privacy experts say social media has
played a major role in making it easier to
attach a face to a name.
Ten years ago if I walked down the
street and took a picture of someone I
didnt know, there was little I could do
to nd out who that person was. Today
its a very different story, said Lee
Tien, a staff attorney with the Electronic
Frontier Foundation, who focuses on
surveillance technology and privacy.

Serra Padres ousted from CCS playoffs
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Having won 12 of its nal 16 reg-
ular-season games, the Serra base-
ball team was humming heading
into the Central Coast Section play-
offs. After dispatching Wilcox 5-0
Wednesday, the Padres drew West
Catholic Athletic League nemesis
St. Francis in the Division I quarter-
nals Saturday morning.
It was the fourth meeting between
the teams, with the Padres winning
the last two matchups including a
4-1 win over the Lancers on their
way to the WCAL tournament title.
With the pitching staffs and
defense on point, the difference
came down to execution. Baseball
people constantly talk about the
doing the little things right and
the Lancers did that just a little bet-
ter, ending the Padres season with a
2-0 win in Mountain View.
Tip your cap to St. Francis, said
an obviously dejected Serra manag-
er Craig Giannino.
Neither team had many scoring
opportunities, but the Lancers
scratched out single runs in the rst
and third innings and then got a
huge call from the umpire to main-
tain their advantage.
After being held to just one hit
through the rst four innings, the
10th-seeded Padres nally starting
putting pressure on St. Francis
starter Trevor Bettencourt. In the
fth, Serra nally put together a
scoring threat, with Daniel Strupeni
singling and Dominic Orlando and
Jordan Paroubeck each drawing
one-out walks to load the bases.
Mickey McDonald came to the plate
and on a 3-2 pitch, hit a lazy
grounder to shortstop. With pinch
runner Chris Romeo screening St.
Francis shortstop Chris Baker from
the ball, Baker had to wait for slow
bounder before ipping to second to
start an inning-ending double play.
Paroubeck went in hard at second
base, giving McDonald an extra step
to beat the throw to rst as pinch
runner Dalvin Martin scored on the
play.
Or did he? Paroubecks aggres-
sive slide, coupled with the slick
articial turf at St. Francis, caused
him to skid past the bag. As Serra
began celebrating the run, the
umpire, at the urging of the Lancers
manager, strode into the infield,
pointed to McDonald at rst and
signaled him out ruling
Paroubeck interfered with the throw
from the second base because his
slide.
Just like that, the inning was over
and the second-seeded Lancers still
enjoyed a 2-0 advantage.
Considering the Padres were hav-
ing a hard time putting together
quality at-bats against Bettencourt,
there was no guarantee they would
have capitalized if there was no call.
Irrelevant, Giannino said of the

Capuchinos Gabby Tudury, left, and Carlmonts Rebecca Faulkner, right, are two of the best softball pitchers in San Mateo County.
Tudury outduels CCS best in Cap win Faulkner makes scary first impression
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Prospect High Schools Amanda
Llerena has pitching statistics that
can intimidate most teams 0.83
earned run average, 261 strikeouts,
the list goes on and on.
But apparently, Capuchino isnt
your average softball team.
And Gabby Tudury isnt the type
to be intimidated.
Tudury outdueled one of the
Central Coast Sections best pitchers
on Saturday in the quarternals of
the CCS Division III playoff as the
No. 7 Mustangs upset the No. 2
Panthers 3-1.
Llerena got her numbers, mainly
15 strikeouts. But Tudurys worth in
the circle wasnt measured on
Saturday by anything youll see in
the stat box No. 5 made big
pitches in big moments and that was
the difference in the win.
I just really wanted to focus out
there, Tudury said. I wanted to
make pitches to every batter and
take some of the pressure off of
myself.
Shes just out there doing her,
said Capuchino shortstop Jen Lewis.
She doesnt let the spotlight affect
her. Gabby denitely has a lot of
heart.

If its true that you only get one
chance to make a rst impression
than Carlmonts Rebecca Faulkner
and the rest of the Scots just sent a
chill down the collective spine of the
Central Coast Sections Division I.
Sandwiched between a pair of
innings where the Scots showed a bit
of its youth were ve innings of dom-
ination as the Carlmont softball team
showed the rest of the world what
theyre up against in 2012, beating
Santa Teresa 8-3. All three Saints
runs were unearned as Faulkner, the
lefty hurler, went the distance, strik-
ing out eight for the win.
Always going into a big game
like this, the nerves are up,
Faulkner said. But I think once you
start getting in the swing of things
and you start playing as a team, it
gets a lot easier.
Nerves might have been at fore-
front to begin the contest when
Santa Teresa took advantage of a
Carlmont error and potential third
out to score the games rst run. But
from then on, Faulkner showed why
shes one of the most promising
young players, not just in the
Peninsula Athletic League, but in
CCS.

SAN FRANCISCO Tim
Lincecums shaky starts are getting
more painful each time out.
Lincecum lasted only four
innings and injured his left thumb in
a home plate collision with Collin
Cowgill, and the San Francisco
Giants lost at home to the Oakland
Athletics for the rst time in four
years Sunday, 6-2.
It rattled me a little bit, just the
collision, nothing else, Lincecum
said.
Cowgill capped a four-run fourth
with a collision that put a scare into
San Francisco and its struggling,
shaggy-haired ace. Generously list-
ed at 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds,
Lincecum tried to block the plate
after a wild pitch, taking a helmet to
the face and falling backward when
Cowgill slid into him headrst to
score from second.
Lincecum (2-4) gave up ve hits
and four runs in four innings to
push his ERA to 6.04. He hasnt
won since April 28 at San Diego.
Every time he goes out there I
think, here we go, well have a nor-
mal game from Timmy, Giants
manager Bruce Bochy said.
It hasnt really happened yet.
Josh Reddick hit his 11th home
run to back Bartolo Colon (4-4) and
give Oakland its rst regular-season
win in San Francisco since 2008.
San Francisco had won 11 straight
at AT&T Park against its Bay Area
rival.
Hallelujah, As manager Bob
Melvin said. I was only here for
two of it and I was already tired of
hearing about it.
Colon struck out seven and
walked two in five innings. He
allowed two runs and six hits and
wiggled out of a bases-loaded jam
in the fth with a pair of strikeouts.
Four relievers kept San Francisco
scoreless over the nal four innings,
including Ryan Cook, who pitched
the eighth to extend his scoreless
streak to 20 2-3 innings to start the
season.
San Franciscos feel-good week-
end zzled in the nale.

The Padres had one more shot to
get Bettencourt and the Lancers,
loading the bases in the top of the
sixth, but Bettencourt got back-to-
back ground outs to end the threat.
[Bettencourt] made tough pitch-
es in tough situations, Giannino
said.
Serra (19-13 overall) had a
chance to take an early lead in the
first inning, as Paroubeck fisted a
flare into shallow right field to
lead off the game and then stole
second. Following a strikeout,
Collin Theroux was hit by a pitch
to put runners on first and second,
but a flyout and a strikeout ended
the inning.
Bettencourt went on retire the
next eight batters before walking
Michael Tinsley with two outs in
the fourth. Bettencourt ended up
going the distance, throwing 113
pitches, allowing four hits, four hits
and striking out six.
While Serra failed to capitalize on
its rst inning chance, St. Francis
did not. Braden Bishop led off with
an infield hit and stole second.
Andrew Eggers not only moved
Bishop over with a bunt, but beat it
out to put runners on the corners.
Kort Peterson followed and ground-
ed into a 4-6-3 double play, but
Bishop scored on the play to put the
Lancers up 1-0.
In the third, Bettencourt led off
with a single, went to second on a
wild pitch and scored on Eggers
two-out, RBI double the only
extra-base hit of the game.
Im proud of our group, based on
how they started out the gate,
Giannino said.

No. 2 Menlo School 8, No. 7 San
Lorenzo Valley 1
Austin Marcus, who spends most
of time with the Menlo School base-
ball team behind the plate as the
teams catcher, moved out from
behind the dish and got the start on
the mound for the Knights in their
CCS Division III quarternal game
Saturday.
Marcus, who was the No. 3 pitch-
er for the Knights this season, made
a bit of an emergency start when ace
Freddy Avis was limited to just hit-
ting duties as he suffered from a
slight illness.
Avis, Marcus, Wednesdays no-
hitting pitcher Jake Batchelder. No
matter who manager Craig Schoof
puts on the mound, he has a chance
to do something special. So after
Batchelder pitcher a five-inning,
mercy-rule no-hitter in the first
round against St. Thomas More,
Marcus was just as spectacular,
going the distance while allowing
just one hit, striking out 13 and
walking only three.
San Lorenzo Valley scratched out
a run in the top of the third inning.
While he wasnt able to go on the
mound, Avis still managed to drive
in his fth run in two playoff games
and also scored a run. Batchelder
drove in his third and fourth runs of
CCS play, doubling three times.
Carson Badger drove in two with a
pair of sacrice ies and Marcus
helped his own cause by doubling
home a run and scoring one as well.
The Knights (21-7) will face No.

nal showdown at 7 p.m. Tuesday at

After knocking off top-seeded
Palma in the rst round, SHP was
unceremoniously dumped from the

due to the 10-run mercy rule.
Pacic Grove scored four runs in

LOS ANGLES Eight months
after breaking his leg in a training
accident, Dutchman Robert Gesink
sealed his overall race title Sunday
with a main eld nish in the eighth
stage of the Amgen Tour of
California.
Peter Sagan of Slovakia won the
nal leg. The 22-year-old Sagan
claimed the 42.6-mile road race
from Beverly Hills to downtown Los
Angeles with a late burst to take his
fth win of the eight-stage event.
The 25-year-old Gesink, who
rides for Rabobank, was victorious
over Dave Zabriskie, the Utah native
who lives in Los Angeles, by 46 sec-
onds after claiming the mountainous
and decisive seventh stage.
Its moments like this, when you
have your good times and your wins,
thats what you do it for, said
Gesink, the fth-place nisher in the
2010 Tour de France who broke his
leg in four places last September,
and whose father died in cycling
accident in 2010.
Zabriskie (Garmin-Barracuda)
nished second in the event for the
fourth time.
Tom Danielson, a Connecticut
native who resides in Boulder,
Colo., nished third overall for the
second straight year, 54 seconds
behind.
Sagan, who rides for Liquigas-
Canondale, claimed his seventh vic-
tory of the season and 31st of his
career. He swung to the right and
bolted to the front seconds before
the nish line.
Sagan will compete in the Tour de
France for the rst time in June and
July.
Tom Boonen of Belgium, the cur-
rent No. 1-ranked cyclist, nished
second in the nal stage, trailing by
a half-length. Gerald Ciolek of
Germany placed third.
The last kilometer was very fast
and the last turn was dangerous,
said Sagan. Its good we went by it
six times. I went from 150 meters
back and just nished rst.
The seventh annual event began
May 13 in Santa Rosa with a eld of
128 representing 16 teams. The
735-mile race, which had 110 n-
ishers, progressed to the San
Francisco Bay Area before taking a
largely inland route to Southern
California.
The race had three leaders, with
Sagan winning the rst four stages
and taking a 40-second margin into
the stage 5 individual time trial won
convincingly by Zabriskie, a six-
time national time titlist.
Gesink, who claimed his only
other Tour of California stage in his
2008 debut, assumed the overall
lead after winning the seventh and
most difcult stage to Mt. Baldy,
elevation 6,445 feet.
Defending titlist Chris Horner of
Bend, Ore., and the RadioShack-
Nissan team, placed eighth overall,
trailing Gesink by 2:49. Horner n-
ished sixth in the decisive seventh
stage following a long breakaway.
Horner also faltered in the individual
time trial.

Perhaps the most impressive thing
about Saturdays win, one that pro-
pels the Mustangs in the seminals
where theyll face Soquel, was
Capuchinos cerebral approach at
the plate. The team from San Bruno
had previous experience against
Llerena, picking up a 3-1 win in the
seasons third game. No. 1 struck out
11 hitters in that game but
Capuchino hitters said after the
game that they learned a lot from
that game and used that knowledge
to their advantage on Saturday.
We made a lot of adjustments,
said Capuchino rst baseman Chia
Santiago, who had a gigantic two-
run double in the fourth inning. She
has a great riseball so we knew we
had to stay back in the box and take
that away we knew that would be
the key to getting hits.
I think we frustrated [Ileana] a
little bit by moving up the box,
Lewis said.
At rst, Ileana looked as good as
advertised eight of the rst nine
Capuchino outs came via the strike-
out. But tossed in between all those
Ks was a double by Eleni Katout,
who came a foot or two away from
hitting a home run. Her double off
the left eld fence energized the
Mustangs though, and showed that
by laying off the riseball and sitting
on the fastball, good things were
indeed possible.
That approach nally paid divi-
dends in the fourth inning. Lewis led
off with a ground ball to short that
found its way to centereld and
Araina Wassmer followed with a
great at-bat-turned walk. After a
Tudury fly out to centerfield,
Santiago put together the at-bat of
the game when, with two strikes, the
lefty sat back and instead of trying to
pull an Ileana fastball, went with the
pitch and drove a double to the left
eld fence to bring in the games
rst two runs.
I knew I had to make something
happen, Santiago said. I was look-
ing for something over the plate that
I could drive. I just went up there
and swung the bat with a lot of con-
dence.
Condence, it seems, is something
Tudury has in spades while shes in
the circle. No. 5s outing on
Saturday was exemplied by key at-
bats in situations where Prospect,
who came in hitting a very pedestri-
an .227 as a team, threatened to
score.
In the second, Prospect had two on
with no one out; Tudury struck out a
pair and Lili Guevara gunned down a
base stealer to end the frame.
In the fourth, the Panthers had two
on with one out; Tudury struck out
two more and Guevera once again
hosed an attempted thievery of sec-
ond base.
In the sixth, Prospect had two on
with on out and Ileana (their best hit-
ter) at the dish; Tudury got No. 1 to
pop out to second and limited the
damage to a single run.
Gabby has improved so much,
Lewis said. Im just so proud of
her.
Capuchino added a huge run in the
sixth; once again, it was Santiago
with the big blow. With two down,
No. 16 blasted a ball to right eld
that gave the Prospect right elder
fits. The ball was dropped and
Santiago ended up at third - shed
score a batter later on a single to cen-
tereld.
We knew we were going to get
this game, Santiago said.
Our heart, Lewis said, our heart
was the key. We knew gave up.
CAP
Rebecca pitched overall, said
Carlmont head coach Jim Liggett.
It was a tough start. I dont think
were focusing the way we should
and our defense is too good to make
mistakes like we did in the rst and
last innings. So, we have to work on
that.
The Carlmont bats we awake
from the get-go though. Christy
Peterson drew a walk in the rst
inning to get the initial rally going.
Kelly Robinson followed with a sin-
gle to centereld. Then with two
outs, Faulkner helped her own
cause, dumping a single into right
eld to tie things at one.
No. 3 came back to the circle after
tying the game and struck out two
of the three hitters.
The Scots opened the oodgates
in the bottom of third when Janelle
Shiozaki singled to begin a ve-run
frame. An error by the Santa Teresa
pitcher in Petersons attempted sac-
rice set things up nicely for the
PALs most dangerous hitter in
Robinson, who cashed in with a
ground-rule double that plated two
more Scots. Gabrilla Pons drew a
walk and Faulkner reached on a
elders choice. Melissa Pekareks
single loaded the bases shortly after,
which set the table for Danielle
Giuliacci who went shopping down
the left centereld gap and pur-
chased a trio of runs to make it 6-0
Scots.
We dont really try to get hits for
ourselves, Faulkner said of the
Carlmont offense. We try to go sit-
uational to get runs that benet the
team and we did a pretty job of that
today.
Trying to keep focus is always a
problem in high school players,
Liggett said. I think our players
expect to win and maybe they dont
focus the way they should. Its my
job to try and get them focused.
Whatever Liggett said to Faulkner
after the rst inning really worked.
No. 3 was a different pitcher, mow-
ing down Saint after Saint she
had 1-2-3 frames from innings four
through six.
It wasnt until the game was 8-1,
following RBIs by Robinson and
Faulkner, that Santa Teresa made
some noise. It was noise aided by
back-to-back miscues by the
Carlmont defense. The errors made
it 8-3 with two outs in the seventh.
Faulkner put an end to the insanity
by striking out the final Santa
Teresa batter.
If we want to play with [Salinas]
we cant make mistakes like we did
today, Liggett said. So we need to
take care of those mistakes we made
and get rid of them.
We dont really have any expec-
tations, Faulkner said about the
rest of the CCS tournament. We
just go out and play our best game
and hope to see the outcome we
want and win it all.

Babe Ruth jersey sells
for record $4.4 million
NEW YORK A baseball jersey
worn by Babe Ruth has sold for
more than $4.4 million, a record for
any item of sports memorabilia,
according to the buyer and seller.
SCP Auctions says the circa 1920
New York Yankees uniform top is
the earliest known jersey worn by
The Bambino and it fetched
$4,415,658 at the companys April
auction, which ended Sunday. SCP
Auctions says that price broke the
previous record of $4,338,500 set in
2010 for James Naismiths founding
rules of basketball.
Lelands.com says it submitted the
winning bid for Ruths jersey, which
had been displayed for years at The
Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum in
Baltimore.
Suzan French, a spokeswoman for
Lelands.com, says the company
plans to sell the jersey privately
rather than re-auction it.
Timbers end scoring
drought by beating Fire 2-1
Eric Brunners goal in the 19th
minute broke a three-match scoring
drought and the Portland Timbers
went on to defeat the Chicago Fire
2-1 on Sunday.
An own goal in the 52nd minute
proved to be the winner for the
Timbers (3-5-3), who had played to
scoreless draws in their last two
matches.
Jalil Anibaba scored the lone goal
for the Fire (4-3-3), stopping a
three-game unbeaten streak. The
loss also snapped a two-game win-
ning streak on the road for Chicago.
The Timbers were coming off a 0-
0 draw at Houston on Tuesday. That
followed a scoreless result at home
against the Columbus Crew on May
5 and a 2-0 shutout by Montreal the
week before.
Brunner picked up the loose ball
after Kris Boyds failed bicycle kick
off a header from Hanyer Mosquera,
ring it past Fire goalkeeper Sean
Johnson in the early going. It was
the rst goal by a Timbers player in
the teams last 446 minutes of play.
Going into the match, the Timbers
were scoreless in 321 minutes
the longest drought in the MLS this
season.

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Red Sox outelder Daniel Nava
has fast become synonymous with
hot starts.
The former College of San Mateo
slugger achieved rock-star status
two years ago in Boston, becoming
the second player in history to hit a
grand slam on the rst pitch of his
major league career. After spending
the entire 2011 season in the
minors, Nava has fought his way
back onto the big-league roster this
season, and again has hit the ground
running, hitting at a .313 clip
through his rst 11 games.
And, it would seem Navas knack
for hot starts is wildly contagious.
Navas offseason roommate and
training partner OKoyea Dickson
another former CSM slugger
is likewise on a tear to start the year.
In his rst full professional season,
Dickson has dazzled the Midwest
League with Dodgers Low-A afli-
ate Great Lakes, hitting safely in 14
of his rst 15 games while posting a
.377 batting average.
Fast friends
Despite missing one another at
CSM by several years Nava
played for the Bulldogs from 2004-
05, while Dickson played from
2009-10 the two were introduced
two years ago, and made fast
friends. They began training togeth-
er last offseason, then stepped it up
this offseason by rooming together
with Navas family in Roseville.
While each carries himself in a
most down-to-earth manner off the
field, on the diamond both are
renowned as nose-to-the-grind-
stone competitors. So, it seems their
personalities couldnt be better suit-
ed for one another.
We both love having fun. Were
both goofy guys, Nava said. But,
when it came to working out and it
came to hitting, we were just train-
ing for ball. We got after it.
Workouts just take on a different
level of intensity and focus, and I
think since we were both on the
same page, it really helped in that
regard.
Rude awakening
Nava entered the current season
with something to prove. After his
much-publicized Cinderella story of
2010, he experienced a rude awak-
ening in 2011, when he failed to
make the big-league squad out of
spring training. Nava said he was
pressing, and in many ways, trying
to be a type of ballplayer that he
wasnt. So, in May of 2011, after a
slow start for Triple-A Pawtucket,
he was designated for assignment
meaning he was removed from
the major league roster and effec-
tively placed on waivers.
I think I was trying to be a type
of hitter that I wasnt, Nava said.
So, on the eld, performance wise,
it just reected in a way that I was
struggling, which I was.
According to Nava, though, the
downtime that followed was the
best thing that could have happened
to him.
Being on the waiver wire is a ve-
day process, during which time,
players are restricted from playing,
or even practicing. The time quickly
helped Nava to put his baseball
career into perspective.
It allowed me time to clear my
head, and put my priorities in
check, Nava said. I just put the
whole goal to get back (to Boston)
out of my thoughts.
It was quite a wild ride to the top
that Nava had to put into perspec-
tive. After going undrafted as a sen-
ior at Santa Clara University in
2006, he went the independent
league route, winning the Golden
League MVP for the league-cham-
pion Chico Bandits in 2007. At the
outset of the 2008 season, Nava had
his contract purchased by the Red
Sox, and his meteoric rise through
the farm system culminated in a
2010 call-up, with his gaining an
unfathomable place in baseball his-
tory by riing a grand slam over the
right-eld wall at Fenway Park on
the rst pitch he ever saw in the big
leagues.
Spring training
Nava went on to post a .242 aver-
age in 2010, and entered major
league spring training the following
year trying to prove he belonged.
However, he may have been trying
too hard to get back to the big
leagues.
Its obviously something that
every player wants to get back to,
but I just put too much emphasis on
it, Nava said. I was trying to be a
type of player that I wasnt. I was
trying to be the guy and it just
produced in me a lot of frustration.
Since his brief layoff in 2011,
Nava said he has put the emphasis
back on having fun an attitude
that was contagious during his off-
season regiment with Dickson.
It was a great state of mind each
workout, always being the competi-
tor that he is, Dickson said. I love
that man so much, just getting the
opportunity to work out with him,
and be around him the whole off-
season. And, hes having so much
success in the major leagues now.
Thats denitely a guy I look up to,
and one of the best role models I
have in my life.
Dickson hit a bump in the road in
his rst spring training camp this
season.
After being selected by the
Dodgers in the 12th round out of
Sonoma State last year, Dickson
was impressive in his pro debut, hit-
ting .333 with 13 home runs at
short-season Ogden. Poised for a
promotion this year, he injured his
left hand during spring camp, which
caused him to miss about two weeks
of action. The injury initially cost
him a spot on the Great Lakes ros-
ter.
Obviously you always want to
break with the team during spring
training," Dickson said. "But, I def-
initely had a lot of support from my
family my mom, my dad, my sis-
ter, my grandmother just talking
to them every day and trying to stay
encouraged, that things were going
to turn around. Being down there,
rehabbing an injury, thats the lows
of the lows of baseball, for sure.
Now, Im just up here playing. So,
denitely on a high note.
Big leagues
And, the high note seems to have
struck a chord. Less than a week
after Dickson made the leap to
Great Lakes, he got a text with the
good news that Nava had been
recalled to the big leagues.
Im denitely not surprised at
all, Dickson said. He has so many
supporters, and so many people
back home that are praying for him
and pulling for him. And, Im de-
nitely one of them.
CSM alums Nava and Dickson off to sensational starts
Padres beat
Angels 3-2
in 13 innings
SAN DIEGO Pitcher Clayton
Richard scored the winning run from
rst base on an error by ll-in left
elder Howie Kendrick with two outs
in the 13th inning and the San Diego
Padres beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-
2 on Sunday in an unusual extra-
inning game.
By taking two of three from the
Angels, the Padres had their rst win-
ning homestand of the season, going
3-2 against the Dodgers and Angels. It
was just their third series win in 14
this season.
Richard, scheduled to start Monday
night at St. Louis, got a pinch-hit sin-
gle to left with two outs in the 13th off
David Pauley (0-1). Will Venable fol-
lowed with a single to left-center.
Kendrick bobbled the ball for an error,
allowing Richard to score standing up.
Rookie Miles Mikolas (1-1) pitched
two perfect innings for his rst big
league win.
The Padres wasted pinch-hitter John
Bakers leadoff double in the unusual
11th inning.
Baker doubled over the head of left
elder Ryan Langerhans, who hurt his
right shoulder when he stumbled and
fell into the wall. Langerhans injury
forced Angels manager Mike Scioscia
to make ve defensive changes,
including moving Albert Pujols from
rst base to third and Kendrick from
second base to left eld.
With Cameron Maybin up, the
Angels brought Kendrick back to sec-
ond base in a drawn-in, ve-man
ineld, leaving left eld vacant.
Maybin took a called third strike from
rookie David Carpenter.

BAY CITY NEWS STORY
An Ethiopian woman was the rst
runner to cross the nish line in the
101st Bay to Breakers race Sunday
morning, according to preliminary
results.
Manitu Daska, 28, last years sec-
ond fastest woman was the rst to
nish the 7.46-mile course with a time
of 39 minutes and three seconds, race
spokeswoman Stephanie Reichin said.
Daska will take home a $37,000
cash prize for rst place, Reichin said.
The second runner to cross the nish
line was Sammy Kitwara, 25, of
Kenya.
Kitwaras course time was 34 min-
utes and 41 seconds, but a time equal-
izer that allows the womens eld to
start the race about 4 minutes and 30
seconds before the men put him across
the nish line just seconds behind
Daska, Reichin said.
The equalizer is the difference
between the course record for the best
mens time and the record for the best
womens time, Reichin said.
The second fastest runner in the
men's eld was Allan Kiprono, 22, of
Kenya, who nished the race in 34
minutes and 49 seconds.
The second fastest woman was
Diane Nukuri Johnson, 27, of Brundi,
who nished with a time of 40 minutes
and two seconds.

INDIANAPOLIS The coveted
NBA championship, the one LeBron
James needs to validate everything,
was vanishing.
With 18,000 towel-waving fans
roaring like the engines at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the
Indiana Pacers had knocked the
Miami Heat to the oor and to the
edge of elimination.
James didnt panic. He simply
picked up his teammates and carried
them to a win.
And this time, Dwyane Wade
helped.
James scored 40 points with 19
rebounds and nine assists, and Wade
added 30 points 22 in the second
half as Miami rallied to even their
seminal series against Indiana with
a 101-93 win on Sunday over the
Pacers, who had the defending
Eastern Conference champions
down but couldnt keep them there.
I felt like I had to do whatever it
took to win, said James, who
played all but four minutes.
With All-Star forward Chris Bosh
injured and back in Florida, the
James-Wade tag team saved the
Heat, who will host Game 5 on
Tuesday night at AmericanAirlines
Arena.
Me and Bron had it going, said
Wade, who bounced back from the
worst playoff game of his career
ve points on 2-of-13 shooting
with one of his best, We played off
of each other very well. We both
were aggressive at the same time.
Thats beautiful basketball for the
Miami Heat when we play that
way.
The Heat now head home back in
control of the best-of-seven series,
which is down to a best-of-three
with two of the games on Miamis
home oor.
Its still going to be a dogght,
James said.
Udonis Haslem, playing with a
large bandage covering a nasty cut
over his right eye that required nine
stitches, added 14 points for Miami.
For a while, the Heats season was
slipping away.
The underrated Pacers had built a
10-point lead in the third quarter and
were threatening to run away as they
did in Game 3, when James and
Wade took over. They scored 38
consecutive points in one stretch
bridging the second and third quar-
ters and combined to score 28 of
Miamis 30 in the third when the
Heat seemed to be playing with two
to Indianas ve.
LeBron had that look, Heat for-
ward Shane Battier said. And when
he has that look and Dwyane has
that look, you want to run through a
wall.
Wade nished with nine rebounds
and six assists, erasing the ugly
memory of Game 3 when he also
had a confrontation with Heat coach
Erik Spoelstra, a public dispute that
turned into a bigger deal than it
probably was because of a two-day
break between games. The next day,
Wade, who has refused to blame
injuries for his recent struggles, vis-
ited his former Marquette coach
Tom Crean, who is now at Indiana.
James, Wade combine for 70 to beat Pacers
BALTIMORE Ill Have
Another poked his head out of his
stall, started nibbling on his name-
plate tacked to a wall and looked up
at all the people watching his every
move.
Yes, Ill Have Another came out of
his thrilling Preakness win over
Bodemeister in super shape, trainer
Doug ONeill said Sunday, and now
comes New York for a Triple Crown
try in the Belmont Stakes on June 9.
Bring it on! Were ready to go.
Super pumped! ONeill said as he
held court outside the stall of his
Kentucky Derby and Preakness win-
ner. I cant put into words how
incredible it is. Were just on Cloud 9.
Its super exciting.
The colorful and controversial
trainer was returning to his home
base in California, and making plans
for the trip to New York in the next
week or so. Ill Have Another, mean-
while, was loaded onto a horse van at
Pimlico and arrived at Belmont Park
on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
ONeills assistant, Jack Sisterson,
will oversee the chestnut colt until
ONeill and the rest of his team
arrive.
The trainer took time to soak in the
moment before leaving Baltimore,
though, and to contemplate the pres-
sure-packed days that await leading
to the rst Triple Crown attempt
since 2008. It will be the 12th Triple
try since 1978, when Afrmed won
thoroughbred racings most elusive
prize.
Its hasnt completely sunk in
yet, he said. The party out here at
the barn after the race was like wow!
Ive never seen anything like that
everyone so excited about horse rac-
ing and Ill Have Another being 2-
for-2. I denitely feel the energy and
buzz in the air.
He hasnt seen anything yet.
The Triple Crown quest brought
some tantalizingly close calls since
Afrmed turned back Alydar in the
Derby, Preakness and Belmont 34
years ago the longest drought
between Triple Crown champions.
There was Real Quiet in 1998, who
looked like a lock to take the Belmont
until he was nailed at the wire by
Victory Gallop. And there was
Smarty Jones, who also seemed gold-
en in the Belmont stretch only to be
reeled in by 36-1 shot Birdstone in
the nal 70 yards.
Ill Have Another set to go for another at Belmont

MLS STANDINGS
By Dan Gelston
NEWARK, N.J. In his latest
playoff gem, Henrik Lundqvist had
little time to do more than stop
every breakaway or 2-on-1 attempt
New Jersey shot his way. When he
took a moment to breathe,
Lundqvist had all the condence his
New York Rangers would bail him
out with a goal or two.
You know sooner or later its
going to turn, he said. Its going to
turn in our favor.
Unlike those dozens of Devils
shots, his feeling was right on the
mark.
Lundqvist had 36 saves, and Dan
Girardi, Chris Kreider and Ryan
Callahan scored third-period goals
to lead the New York Rangers to a
3-0 win over the New Jersey Devils
in Game 3 of the Eastern
Conference Finals on Saturday.
Girardi and Kreider scored goals
only 1 minute, 57 seconds apart
early in the third to seize the
momentum in a packed building
with fans of both teams at a fever
pitch, and give New York a 2-1
series lead. Indeed it was a quick
span the Devils may long regret,
especially after they dominated long
stretches of Game 3.
We played a real good hockey
game, Devils coach Peter DeBoer
said. We lost. We gotta nd a way
to score a goal.
The Rangers did, and they did so
in a stretch that would compare to
some of coach John Tortorellas
short and not-so-sweet press confer-
ences. But Tortorella abandoned his
normally terse responses to praise
his goalie after the win.
He a great competitor,
Tortorella said, as far as his prepa-
ration and as far as what he does for
this hockey club.
Lundqvist was busy from the
opening faceoff en route to his sec-
ond shutout of the series and third in
the postseason. Callahan iced it
with an empty-netter late in third.
Game 4 is Monday in New Jersey.
Not even playing on home ice,
where they had won four straight,
was enough to help New Jersey. The
Rangers have won every Game 1,
lost each Game 2, and rebounded to
win Game 3 in every round this
postseason. Each preceding series,
of course, saw them win the all-
important last one: Game 7.
Kreider, a rookie called up during
Round 1 vs. Ottawa, has scored in
every game of this series.
Id trade that for three wins,
Kreider said. Im worried about
the next one.
Lundqvist was fantastic as he
showed again why he led the
Rangers to an Eastern Conference-
high 109 points. He stoned Adam
Henrique on a nice backhander late
in the second period to keep it
scoreless entering the third, setting
the stage for New Yorks late magic.
He also toyed with Ilya
Kovalchuk all game and stopped
him on a nice breakaway in the sec-
ond. Kovalchuk, who scored in
Game 2, couldnt get untracked and
neither could the rest of the Devils.
Especially not with the way
Lundqvist shined in net.
I was a little lucky today, a cou-
ple times where I made the rst
move I still ended up making the
save, he said. Thats not going to
happen all the time. So you need
some luck sometimes. I always say
you earn your luck by working hard.
But today was a good day.
The Rangers opened the third
ready to go against Martin Brodeur
and found a way to give Lundqvist a
needed cushion.
With New Jerseys Bryce
Salvador in the penalty box, Girardi
pushed a slow wrist shot past
Brodeurs glove side, off a faceoff
win by Brad Richards. Brodeur
could have easily stopped the point-
blank shot, especially with no trafc
in front of the net.
I thought the biggest play there
was the faceoff win, Tortorella said
of Richards play.
Lundqvist, Rangers blank Devils, 3-0, lead 2-1

T
his time of year we begin receiving
calls from parents looking into vol-
unteer opportunities for their kids.
Many are seeking a meaningful experience
for a child who has demonstrated an interest
in animals, while some are simply looking
to ll a week between summer camps.
Parents, heres what you need to know:
First, the volunteer roles we offer kids are,
in large measure, determined by our insur-
ance carrier. Theyve drawn a line in the
sand on volunteers under the age of 13 and
have strongly recommended we carefully
limit volunteer opportunities for kids age
13-17 since our animal population is made
up of strays whose backgrounds are
unknown. Second, we ask for a commitment
of two hours per week for at least six
months due to the amount of training we
provide each volunteer. Still, we have many
junior age volunteers currently helping our
animals; a number of them are part of our
TLC group. Kids age 16-17 can do this on
their own, while those age 13-15 must vol-
unteer with a parent. TLC volunteers exer-
cise, socialize and groom animals, clean
enclosures, do dishes and laundry, assist
with feeding and watering, provide toys and
fresh blankets and complete volunteer
visit/behavior cards which are read by
prospective adopters. Volunteers must have
good physical strength and complete an ani-
mal handling class plus on-the-job training.
We ask those interested in this junior volun-
teer opportunity or any others to complete a
volunteer application. Your online applica-
tion will be forwarded to the Volunteer
Services Department.
If you need an application sent to you,
contact Volunteer Services, at 650/340-7022
x370 or volunteers@PHS-SPCA.org. Once
you complete and return it (electronically or
by mail copy), you will then be able to sign
up for the next available volunteer orienta-
tion. Orientations are booked through
September, though people can visit an earli-
er date, since we always have a number of
stand-by spots.

LOS ANGELES The Avengers contin-
ues to muscle out everything else Hollywood
throws at it, easily sinking naval rival
Battleship and other new releases.
With $55.1 million domestically, Disneys
superhero sensation remained No. 1 for a third-
straight weekend and took in more than the
three big newcomers combined. Overseas,
The Avengers added an additional $56 mil-
lion.
The lm is approaching the $1.2 billion
mark worldwide, totaling $457.1 million
domestically and $723.3 million international-
ly.
The Avengers is dominating the market-
place so profoundly that the newcomers are
having a tough time breaking in now, said
Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for box-ofce
tracker Hollywood.com.
Universals Battleship opened a distant
No. 2 with $25.4 million domestically, well
below industry expectations.
But the board-game adaptation starring Liam
Neeson, Taylor Kitsch and Rihanna already has
grossed $226.8 million overseas since launch-
ing in April, giving it a worldwide total of
$252.1 million.
I would be glad to be No. 2 if we opened to
a better number. But given the presence of an
absolute juggernaut in the marketplace, theres
nothing you can do, said Nikki Rocco, head of
distribution for Universal. Not to have a shot
at being No. 1 this weekend is disappointing.
But its a challenge with Avengers out there.
Sacha Baron Cohens comedy The
Dictator, in which he plays a tyrannical third-
world leader, debuted in third-place with
$17.4 million for the weekend. Since opening
Wednesday, the Paramount release has taken
in $24.5 million.
The Dictator opened with $30.3 million in
29 overseas markets, giving it a worldwide
haul of $54.8 million.
Paramount executives said they were happy
with that start, but even a movie aiming for
laughs had some trouble making in-roads
against The Avengers.
This is a full-out comedy, very different
than Avengers. But when youve got a movie
that big, it just absolutely sucks up the market-
place, said Anthony Marcoly, head of interna-
tional distribution for Paramount. But its also
good for the entire business. Hopefully, those
that see Avengers will go, Hey, I want to see
another movie, and hopefully, theyll think of
our movie as a next choice.
Johnny Depp and Tim Burtons vampire
romp Dark Shadows, which opened in sec-
ond-place a week earlier, slipped to No. 4 with
$12.8 million.

in Nebraska. Before it was time to go
to school, McKenzie had a habit of fol-
lowing her older brothers to school.
Shes loved school and continuing her
education ever since. In addition, shes
always had a love for children.
As a younger girl, she taught dance
to children. In college, she worked with
kids. It was always clear to McKenzie
that she would go into education.
While in college, she met her husband
Don, with whom shes had three chil-
dren and three grandchildren. Together,
they traveled often while he sought
education and various jobs. McKenzie
had the chance to teach in a variety of
places New Orleans, Missouri,
Ohio, Minnesota. Once in California,
McKenzie had the opportunity to teach
at Central, where she stayed for three
years.
With all their children in college,
McKenzies husband had the opportu-
nity to live in Turkey for work.
McKenzie taught for three years before
returning to Belmont.
At the time, there were no positions
available at Central. McKenzie taught
at Nesbit Elementary School for three
years before landing the principal job
at Central, which shes held for 12
years a total of 19 years with the
district.
Cori McKenzie is the ultimate prin-
cipal, whether youre a staff member,
parent or student, said teacher George
Metropulos. How she manages to jug-
gle all three groups so well is beyond
me. She is a doer, a leader, and strives
to be sure Central is the best.
McKenzie explained the unique cul-
ture at Central was in place when she
taught and returned to take the helm as
the schools leader. Since then, shes
helped with implementing a culture of
courtesy which encourages stu-
dents to be kind to one another and use
words like please and thank you. In
addition, the school started Monday
morning meetings where they discuss
values and celebrate accomplishments
of students.
The goal is to make it feel like a
family, said McKenzie.
Recently, the values discussed have
been patience and kindness. This week,
for example, children will be asked to
write nice thoughts to others.
McKenzie has less than a month left
with her students. She joked that shed
be graduating with this years fifth-
grade class. Her last day in the office
will be June 30. Even though its a
Saturday, McKenzie assumed she
would be there. She often works on
weekends.
Looking ahead, McKenzie hopes to
travel, to spend more time with her
children and grandchildren and plans
to continue her education. Shes an
avid reader and is already looking over
the course catalog through Stanfords
Continuing Studies program.
Its not goodbye, McKenzie said.
Its good day.

The plans are also a priceless
resource, he wrote, for search and res-

The plane will be custom-built by the

that helps offset the weight distribution
once the aircraft is loaded up with law

The Cessna was chosen for its equip-
ment capabilities and its common use
making service and parts less expensive,
according to Munks.

Gabriel Sanchez, spokeswoman for
Californians for a Fresh Start, a coalition
of organizations that aim to reform the
California Legislature through changing
the current term limits.
The current system forces lawmakers
to look for their next ofce which dis-
tracts them from doing their jobs,
Sanchez said. With 12 years as the new
standard, legislators could pay more
attention to policy work and also devel-
op expertise without the worry of con-
stantly running for ofce.
This increased expertise would help
legislators stand up to lobbyists who try
to persuade lawmakers during their time
in ofce, he said. This especially con-
cerns freshman legislators who come in
with less experience and sometimes rely
on lobbyists for information. The current
ratio of lobbyists to legislators is 16-1,
he said.
They can develop expertise and stand
up to lobbyists and not feel reliant on
lobbyists, he said.
Another argument is the need to close
the loophole that Sanchez said allows
legislators to lengthen their terms from
14 to almost 17 years. During a legisla-
tors term, if half the term is not com-
pleted, it technically does not count and
the term can be restarted. So if a member
of the Assembly serves only one year of
their elected two-year term, that term
can be considered incomplete and that
person can run again for a new two-year
term. This adds on another year, totaling
nearly seven years instead of the maxi-
mum of six. The same goes for a senator
who serves an incomplete two years of
the elected four year term, adding on an
additional two years to the maximum of
eight, he said.
This makes it clear, 12 years of serv-
ice, period, said Sanchez.
On the other side of the argument is
the organization, Californians for Term
Limits. Anita Anderson, a volunteer at
with the organization since the 1990s,
thinks the proposition is tricking people
into believing it will provide stronger
term limits when it will do the opposite.
It is a sneaky way of increasing the
terms. It is extremely deceptive and mis-
leading and is trying to confuse voters,
said Anderson.
The proposition would actually
increase the amount of time legislators
are in ofce, Anderson said. Most legis-
lators do not stay for the possible 14
years because it is difcult to switch
between the houses. Only 10 percent of
legislators have gone between houses,
she said.
This increase to 12 years in either
house, she said, seems to be self-serv-
ing for politicians. She believes the
term limits now are enough time to
accomplish their goals.
On the topic of lobbyists, Anderson
said that the problem is lobbyists build-
ing relationships with legislators the
longer they are there. This increases lob-
byists inuence because of their time
spent with the lawmakers, she said.
When she volunteered in the 1990s,
she remembered Proposition 140 also
arguing for the term limits in place
today. It was approved in 1990 and has
since held legislators to the 14-year
limit. The new proposition is aiming to
reverse that decision. She acknowledged
voters have a right to change their mind
about term limits, but she thinks it is
important that the Proposition 28 should
be worded properly to clearly explain its
plan.
They are doing anything to stay in
there, she said. But we dont want it to
turn into a career.
LIMITS
which are typically ordered from a
Menlo Park carrier, Lopez said.
I want to tell him, come and get your
trufes while youre here, Lopez said.
Lopez thinks his wife, Cathy Oyster,
plans to completely close down the non-
retail Fitzpatrick Building owned by her
father next door.
The Redwood City Downtown
Business Group didnt return a call for
comment but member Alpio Barbara is
pretty thrilled. Barbara, president of
Redwood General Tire Service, con-
cedes his business is far enough down
Broadway that he wont be shut down
early. However, he thinks even those
who are affected cant overlook the
honor of a presidential visit.
It is a disruption and some employees
wont get paid but how often does the
president come to Redwood City? No
matter what side of the aisle youre on, it
gives you goose bumps, he said.
Obama may not be the rst president
to come to town. Some reports say
Herbert Hoover popped in the 1930s.
Obama is also not the only presidential
contender to swing through. Republican
hopeful Mitt Romney is holding a pricey
fundraiser in Hillsborough the following
week and private campaign functions on
the Peninsula are fairly common.
But the Fox Theatre event is different
in that tickets are available to the public,
Aguirre said.
Those are unreachable to the normal
person. This event is open and it puts
Redwood City on the map, too. With
everything weve been trying to work on
and do in Redwood City, this afrms it
as a destination, Aguirre said.
Aguirre said the city has tried hard to
make sure residents and businesses
arent caught by surprise.
This is all a lot of sacrice on our part
and their part, said city spokesman
Malcolm Smith referencing both the city
and its businesses.
Although the Secret Service is the lead
agency in presidential protection,
Redwood City police will handle trafc
and parking issues and possibly any
protests that may arise. Theres been
some online chatter about possible
protests but Smith said the police depart-
ment hasnt learned anything denitive.
And if they show up, Lopez said he
doesnt mind.
Protesters like ice cream, too, he
said.

VISIT
MONDAY, MAY 21, 2012
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It behooves you to keep
your cool if you start to feel like youre running out
of time regarding a matter that youre anxious to
fnalize. If you blow your stack, youre apt to create
additional problems.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Dont let your temper
fare if a thoughtless family member doesnt respond
as he or she should to a kind deed. Wait to discuss it
only after youre in a more tolerant mood.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There is no reason why you
should yield to someone who wants you to loan him
or her something that you treasure. If you succumb
to this persons pressure, you may be sorry.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It might be diffcult for
you to determine what is harassment on your part as
opposed to simply aggressiveness. Know the differ-
ence, because others most assuredly will.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Although you might have
to deal with someone who previously made a bad im-
pression on you, continue to be your own sweet self.
You might be surprised how nice he or she is today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Someone you recently
met and whom you like might resent it if she or he
feels that youre being possessive. Theres no way a
friendship can develop if there are overly tight strings
attached.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Keep your wits
about you in all your one-on-one relationships. This
is especially true when dealing with someone who is
openly hostile or standoffsh.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even if your way of
doing something is far better than others methods,
dont attempt to make people do things your way.
Even if theyre openly fumbling, wait for others to ask
for help.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Its not the smartest
thing in the world to go out with a friend whos a high
roller, unless you can afford it. You could easily get
caught up in his or her big-spending ways.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Avoid discussing any
disagreements with your mate until you can do so
privately. A public squabble could be embarrassing,
and even invite some unwanted interference.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Just because a job is
routine doesnt mean itll be a cakewalk. If you dont
have your mind on what youre doing, a serious gaffe
could result. Be careful.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It behooves you to
closely monitor all matters that can adversely affect
your resources if youre not careful. Even a small
leak could turn into a serious drain.

the San Carlos. The third ship was never
heard of again.
In 1602, the explorer Sebastian
Vizcaino discovered a vast, beautiful
harbor he knew would be a good landing
site for the Spanish in Alta California.
Upon his return, he highly recommend-
ed the site for settlement and named it
after the viceroy of Spain, Conde de
Monterey. It was not until the Russian
threat of settlement on the California
coast that the Spanish sent Captain
Gaspar de Portola to explore the area
and make a settlement at Monterey.
Starting out from La Paz, Baja
California in 1769, Captain Portola and
his expedition traversed the devastating-
ly hot, dry, hilly desert of the Baja
Peninsula and arrived at the harbor of
San Diego on July 1, 1769. However, of
the three ships from La Paz that were to
support Portola, only two had arrived at
San Diego and the men on the ships
were very sick. After weighing his
options, Captain Portola decided to con-
tinue on his expedition with far fewer
men than he originally had planned on
using.
Vizcaino became very cautious and
kept far from the rocky shore to avoid
the danger of being wrecked and sunk.
He found out after passing the Los
Angeles area that along the coast was a
mountain range that had steep cliffs near
the shore and very few good harbors.
After he arrived at Monterey in January
1603 and after naming a point he sight-
ed Punta de Ano Nuevo for the day it
was sighted (New Years) he mapped
the bay. It would be more than 160 years
before any Spanish ship dropped anchor
in that bay.
Portolas expedition discovered the
San Francisco Bay in November 1769
then returned to San Diego. It was not
until 1775 that an expedition, one on
land and one on sea, was sent to the Bay
Area from Monterey. After all ships had
missed seeing the entrance to the Bay for
hundreds of years, Lt. Juan Manuel
Ayala commanded the ship San Carlos
into the Bay in August 1775 to map the
area for six weeks. He had left Monterey
Harbor on July 26, 1775.
The sailing ships of the time were at a
great disadvantage when traveling along
the coast of California. Shoals and reefs
appeared numerous places and sub-
merged rocks could rip the bottom out of
a boat. If this were not enough, fog
would sometimes cover miles of ocean
for weeks at a time.
Attempts of nd a good harbor along
the San Mateo Coast proved futile. W.W.
Weddell built a wharf by Ano Nuevo but
that ended in failure. On May 1, 1853
the ship, Carrier Pigeon, with Capt.
Azariah Donne at the helm, was
wrecked on the rocks. On Jan. 7, 1865,
the clipper ship, Sir John Franklin, was
wrecked north of Ano Nuevo. In 1868,
Josiah Ames erected a pier at Mairmar in
1868 but the weather and a re stopped
that enterprise. In 1868, Capt. Soule of
the ship, Hellespoint, lost his ship near
Pigeon Point with the loss of 27 souls.
This wreck prompted a movement that
resulted in the erection of the Pigeon
Point Lighthouse in 1872. Finally, relief
was given to the many lost ships that
plied the coast through the fog, wind and
adverse currents.
Due to the water hazards at Point
Montara, a steam whistle was erected in
1875. It took a tremendous amount of
coal to maintain the re for the steam
whistle so, in 1900, a whale oil lamp was
set up to warn the vessels along this area.
Later, a Fresnel lamp was installed.
Needless to say, these instruments
were helpful but, nevertheless, the coast
still posed numerous dangers to ships.
The fog was especially dangerous. In
1897, the Columbia was stranded off of
Pigeon Point Lighthouse. Thousands of
gallons of white paint were salvaged by
residents of the area and within the fol-
lowing year, every house within a short
distance of the stranded ship acquired a
new coat of white paint.
In 1898, the ship, New York, ran
aground off of Arleta Park in Half Moon
Bay. Its load of whiskey was saved by
the residents of the area. Mussel Rock in
Daly City was the scene of the sinking
ship, William Grifford. Sharps Park was
the site of a ship that ran ashore in 1909.
So long as the wind blows and the fog
prevails, ships are in danger while sail-
ing along the San Mateo coast.

HISTORY
By Bassem Mroue
BEIRUT A car bomb in the
parking lot of a Syrian military
compound killed at least nine peo-
ple Saturday, the latest in increas-
ingly frequent bombings in the
countrys major cities to target the
regimes security services.
President Barack Obama said the
members of the Group of Eight
industrial nations support the U.N.s
peace plan for Syria, but added that
it had not taken hold fast enough.
In Damascus, top United Nations
peacekeeping and military ofcials
met with Syrian ofcials to try to
salvage that peace plan, which has
been marred by daily violence and
dismissed by the opposition as unre-
alistic. A cease-re that was sup-
posed to start last month has never
really taken hold, undermining the
rest of international envoy Kofi
Annans plan, which is supposed to
lead to talks to end the 14-month
crisis.
Saturdays suicide bombing
struck the eastern city of Deir al-
Zour, blowing holes in the walls of
nearby buildings and sending up a
plume of smoke that stretched
across the horizon.
Video broadcast on Syrian state
TV showed damaged buildings,
smoldering cars and trucks ipped
upside down. Debris lled a street
that was stained with blood. The
station said a suicide bomber deto-
nated a vehicle carrying 1,000 kilo-
grams (2,200 pounds) of explosives
and that the blast left a crater ve
meters (15 feet) wide and more than
2 meters (6 feet) deep.
The state-run news agency SANA
said the blast hit the parking lot of a
military residential compound,
while an opposition group, the
Britain-based Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights, reported that the
bomb went off close to the city
branches of the Military
Intelligence Directorate and Air
Force Intelligence.
Syrias state news agency posted
photos of U.N. observers some
of the about 260 currently in Syria
as part of Annans plan visiting
the blast site.

Haiti: 2 Americans in jail charged with conspiracy
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti Two Americans jailed in
Haiti were charged with conspiracy for participating in a
street march that pressed for the return of the countrys
disbanded army, a Haitian government official said
Sunday.
Reginald Delva, Haitis Secretary of State for Public
Security, said Jason William Petrie and Steven Parker Shaw
were charged Saturday night because of their involvement in
last weeks march. Petrie, 39, is from Barberton, Ohio; and
Shaw, 57, is from Dighton, Massachusetts.
They were providing logistical support, Delva said by
telephone.
Authorities say Petrie and Shaw were drivers for a group of
ex-soldiers and their young followers who marched in Haitis
capital Friday for the armys return. The demonstration drew
hundreds of supporters who donned mismatching military
uniforms, including Petrie who wore an army T-shirt and
Shaw who wore camouaged pants.
Petrie, a sometime interpreter for foreigners because of his
two-decade involvement in Haiti, told the Associated Press
while he was in jail that he knew the leaders of the band of the
wannabe soldiers and described them as friends.
