It includes a pay boost as well as an increase in the employer contribution to benets. Employees agreed to larger class sizes, consistent work hours and a change to hourly rates for

extended school year pay. Im delighted that weve reached agreement with San Mateo County Educators Association on a three-year contract, said county Superintendent Anne Campbell. Both sides worked diligently over many months to reach a settlement that is fair to all concerned and that honors the vital work of our dedicated teachers and

support staff. To have accomplished this in such challenging budget times is especially gratifying. Its great to have a three-year settlement because now we can all return to what we do best focusing on the students and districts we serve. Shelley Viviani, lead negotiator for SMCEA, said everyone is relieved the long process nished

with a fair settlement. There were denitely compromises on both sides. We are pleased however, and are thrilled that we can now focus our full attentions on our teaching once again. The teachers are also looking forward to mending any bad feelings that may have resulted

Motorists see red, cities see green

The flash bulbs at intersections rigged with red light cameras may have had drivers seeing red, but it had cities seeing green while also touting the safety benefits of photo enforcement the week of May 31, 2008. The costly tickets caused by pesky cameras were being praised by law enforcement and, as a result, began popping up in cities across San Mateo County. San Mateo, Millbrae, Redwood City and Menlo Park already had photo enforcement while other cities like Belmont and San Carlos had approved their installation. More cities were likely to follow suit. They reduce accidents, increase revenue and free up police officers for other types of crimes, police officers claimed. Millbrae installed the cameras approximately a year and a half before to monitor four approaches at Millbrae Avenue and Rollins Road. The City Council approved a conservative budget revenue of $100,000. A rough estimate had put ticket revenue closer to $400,000. The city issued a total of 4,672

citations to red light runners. Each ticket is $385 and of that, $138.50 goes to Millbrae's general fund. If everyone paid his or her tickets, the city would be due $633,000. In reali t y, approximately 70 percent of tickets are paid, bringing the actual revenue to $443,000. The

Ex-mayor to begin jail term

Former San Carlos mayor Mike King waqs to begin serving a 45-day sentence in July 2008 on two counts of felony fraud, ending a two-year battle to overturn his conviction for defrauding the then-named South County Fire Authority of more than $13,000 to pay a political consultant. Judge Barbara Mallach affirmed her previous sentence of 45 days jail and three years probation for King, 66, at his first court appearance since an appellate court refused to reverse his 2006 conviction. The week of May 24, 2008, an appellate court ruled 3-0 not to overturn King's convictions over the defense argument the jury was improperly influenced by faulty instructions and prosecutorial misconduct. Rather than ask for time to seek further review of the decision, King's defense attorney Chuck Smith asked Mallach to lift a stay on the previously-imposed sentence.

A bill that would save Half Moon Bay from paying $41 million for a federal judgment passed out of the state's Assembly with a 45-19 vote, taking it one step closer to becoming law the week of May 31, 2008. Assembly Bill 1991, sponsored by Assemblyman Gene Mullin, DSouth San Francisco, narrowly passed the Assembly May 28, 2008. Attorneys representing the city claimed AB 1991 was a one-timeonly bill custom-built for Half Moon Bay's dire situation.

Appreciating lifes challenges

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Police reports
Just for kicks
A man was walking up and down the street trying to kick his legs as high as he could at the intersection of Bellevue Avenue and El Camino Real in San Mateo before 4:19 p.m. Tuesday, May 29.

Over a short period of time, everything changed in Arianna DEreditas life. At 9, her father died in a car crash on his way home a shock to the family and a life change that DEredita isnt sure really sunk in at the time. About a year later, DEreditas mom was diagnosed with colon cancer. She didnt realize how serious the situation was. Even when her mother was given three months to live, DEredita, her younger brother Joseph and mom began planning a trip for spring break to San Diego. Unfortunately, only the siblings went on the trip. DEreditas mom died the week before. DEredita is open about the challenges that followed moving from Brentwood to Redwood Shores to live with her uncle Steve and cousin Paul. But DEredita also holds the words her mother said, after her father passed. She said, We may not look like a typical family, but we are one, DEredita shared at Notre Dame High School on a recent afternoon. DEredita said without the support of family, friends and the home she found at Notre Dame High School in Belmont, she wouldnt have been as successful dealing with lifes challenges. Arianna DEredita is the epitome of a Notre Dame, Belmont graduate, said Principal Rita Gleason. Throughout her stellar four years at NDB, Arianna has consistently demonstrated that she is a woman of faith, compassion and integrity; a woman of intellectual strength and courage; a condent leader and a global citizen. As a child, DEredita found an early love of soccer. She started playing at 4 and continued through her junior year. She played for the American Youth Soccer Organization before joining a traveling club team at 9. Soccer was something DEredita really did with her dad. Once he passed, she continued to play. DEredita decided to take on more responsibility at home once her mom was diagnosed with cancer. After her mom died, the transition to a new family setup was challenging for DEredita. She describes her uncle as a saint but admits to being a chal-

lenging preteen who would lie and disagree for no particular reason. Through therapy, DEredita was able to accept her new reality and ourish in her new surroundings. She attended Notre Dame Elementary School for eighth grade before choosing to attend Notre Dame High School. I feel safe here. Theres so much love, said DEredita, adding that she trusts everyone. DEredita went out for soccer freshman year and made the schools varsity team. She noted appreciating how her uncle celebrates each of the individual accomplishments of herself, her brother and her cousin, who is like a brother. This was one of those instances. DEredita excelled on the eld playing year round for Notre Dame and for a local club team. Her junior year, DEredita tore her meniscus a knee injury that required surgery. Just before the start of her senior season, DEredita noticed the pain remained. She had to go through surgery again, which meant sitting out her senior year. On crutch-

es, DEredita acted as the team manager and rooted on her team. It was the most challenging aspect of her high school career, she said. Despite the injury, DEredita had a successful high school career in other aspects as well. Shes been a member of the student government since sophomore year. DEredita started a Relay for Life team, in her mothers honor, called Dancing Away Cancer. Its annual fundraising best was about $10,000. DEredita was also inspired to start a club called NEGU Never Ever Give UP. The group works to help fulll the dreams of a 12-year-old girl who died from an inoperable brain tumor. Prior to her death, the girl sent jars full of toys, called joy jars, to children who were in hospitals. The group is working on another drive to collect toys for such jars. Ultimately DEreditas outlook on life is positive. She tells people to appreciate what they have because she has seen how quickly life can change. Those experiences have also played into her future plans to study psychology at the University of California at Santa Barbara in hopes of becoming a marriage and family therapist.

OKLAHOMA CITY At least two tornadoes touched down in Oklahoma and two more hit Arkansas on Thursday as a powerful storm system moved through the middle of the country, injuring at least nine people. The National Weather Service reported two tornadoes on the ground near Perkins and Ripley in north central Oklahoma and another west of Oden, Ark. All nine of the injured were in Arkansas; two of the injuries were attributed to a lightning strike in Rogers. Lightning was also believed to have started a re that destroyed two oors of a condominium building in northwestern Indiana. Some trees, homes and power lines were damaged in Arkansas, and the National Weather Service conrmed that tornadoes touched down in Montgomery County and in Clark County. Emergency Management spokesman Tommy Jackson said first responders had trouble reaching a destroyed home where one person was hurt because a number of trees were blocking the road.

In Oklahoma, Perkins Emergency Management Director Travis Majors said there were no injuries or damage there. Ripley, about 10 miles east of Perkins, did not seem to have signicant damage. The Payne County emergency management director did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment. Storms also caused problems in the western Iowa town of Onawa, damaging buildings, breaking windows, tearing awnings and blowing down trees and a stoplight. National Weather Service meteorologist Dave Fobert told the Sioux City Journal that the damage apparently was caused by a thunderstorm, not a tornado.

Sequoia Healthcare District has slight deficit

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

The Sequoia Healthcare District will need to dip into its reserves by more than $500,000 to cover next years expenses but will still invest every penny of its property tax income, $8.9 million, on community health initiatives. The district will not get the same return on investment payment this year from Sequoia Hospital, which the district once owned, of $2.1 million bringing next years scal budget down to $11.9 million compared to the current budget of $13.7 million. The scal year starts July 1. About $2.8 million of the districts

income will come from Dignity Health, formerly Catholic Health Care West, to be used for its annual obligation for pension benets incurred during the years the district owned and operated Sequoia Hospital, according to a staff report. The districts largest single program is its Healthy Schools Initiative at $2.8 million. The funds are used to provide a variety of health services to more than 27,000 students in southern San Mateo County. The district will also support the North Fair Oaks Clinic, operated by the San Mateo Medical Center, by $1 million next year. The district has about $18 million in its

Padillas SB405 had support this year from business groups that want to eliminate a patchwork of policies across the state. More than 70 local governments prohibit such bags. Already, nearly 20 percent of Californians live in areas that dont permit the bags. Its only a matter of time before we get there, Padilla said after the vote.

Manslaughter, DUI charges in triple fatal crash

Driver has bail hiked to $1 million for Memorial Day cemetery accident

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

During his rst court appearance on vehicular manslaughter and drunk driving charges, the motorist accused of causing then eeing a Colma crash that split his car in two and killed three had his bail hiked to $1 million. Prosecutor Sean Gallagher declined to specify a blood alcohol content for Paul Michael Anthony Diaz, 25, but believe he was intoxicated at the time of the

early Monday morning that killed three, including his reported girlfriend. Forensic testing of his hair for drugs is ongoing, according to Gallagher. Diaz was arraigned Thursday afternoon on three counts of gross vehicular manslaughter with intoxication and a prior misdemeanor drunk driving conviction and felony hit-and-run resulting in death or injury to others. Any further indication Diaz was also under the inuence of drugs

wouldnt add any extra charges but could bolster the case against him. At the hearing, Diaz was appointed an attorney but put off a plea until he returns to court June 13. He has been held on $750,000 bail since his May 27 arrest but the bond was increased yesterday after Gallagher cited public safety. Diaz ed the 7:40 a.m. crash on Hillside Boulevard near the Cypress Lawn Funeral Home but surrendered to Daly City police about five hours later. Investigators have released few

details of how the actual collision happened other than the speeding Mustang hit the back of a Honda, pushing it into the cemetery. The mustang hit a retaining wall and split in two, ejecting and killing Ruvin Abel Vazquez, 22, Jonathan Jade Mouton, 21, and Rosa Maria Falla, 23, all of Daly City. Falla and Diaz were reportedly dating. The Hondas driver was not seriously injured. Along with his 2009 DUI conviction, Diazs criminal record includes robbery.

Agency failed to collect millions in cleanup fees

State Assembly passes bill to raise minimum wage

SACRAMENTO Minimumwage workers in California would see their rst raises in six years under a bill that has passed the state Assembly. The measure from Democratic Assemblyman Luis Alejo of Watsonville would increase the states minimum hourly wage to $8.25 next year from the current $8. It would rise to $9.25 in 2016 and would be adjusted for ination in following years.

SACRAMENTO A state agency in charge of environmental cleanup said it has set up a team to go after more than $185 million in costs from companies that were not billed or didnt pay for pollution left behind. The disclosure by the Department of Toxic Substances Control came on the heels of an announcement earlier this year that nearly a quarter of the companies it licenses have been operat-

ing on expired permits, including one with a permit that wasnt renewed for more than 17 years. There have been things wrong with this department in the past that werent handled the best they could be, Tamma Adamek, a department spokeswoman, said Thursday. Director Debbie Raphael discovered the collection issue and has been working to identify and correct deciencies since her appointment two years ago, Adamek said. Some of the $185 million in missed charges go back to the founding of the agency in 1987.

Agency: Realignment law undermines role of judges

By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Overcrowding in many county jails is forcing local sheriffs to assume the role traditionally held by judges in deciding who should make bail and how long convicts should serve behind bars, a state oversight agency said Thursday. The problem is aggravated by a two-year-old state law that is sending thousands of lower-level convicts to county jails instead of

state prisons, the Little Hoover Commission said in an eight-page letter to the governor and legislative leaders. The so-called realignment law was promoted by Gov. Jerry Brown as a way to comply with federal court orders to relieve state prison crowding. The commission says overcrowding in county jails is an unintended consequence. It is forcing sheriffs in many counties to make executive decisions on freeing detainees early to ease crowding in their own lockups.

Secret Service: Letter to White House intercepted

By Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Secret Service said Thursday that a suspicious letter addressed to President Barack Obama and similar to ricinlaced ones sent to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been intercepted by a White House mail screening facility. The letter has been turned over to the FBIs Joint Terrorism Task Force for testing and investigation. It was unclear precisely how the letter, which was intercepted Wednesday by the White House facility, was similar to letters laced with the poison ricin and addressed to Bloomberg. The screening facility is located away from the White House complex. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Thursday that Obama was aware of the letter addressed to him. Two threatening letters postmarked in Louisiana and containing traces of the deadly poison ricin were sent to Bloomberg in New York and to his gun-control group in Washington, officials said. The anonymous letters were opened in New York last Friday at the citys mail facility in Manhattan and in Washington on Sunday at an office used by Mayors Against Illegal Guns,

the nonprofit started by Bloomberg , police said Wednesday. Police said preliminary testing indicated the presence of ricin in both letters involving Bloomberg, but that more testing would be done. New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the letters contained threats, references to the debate on gun laws and an oily pinkish-orange substance. Last month, authorities in Washington intercepted a letter addressed to Obama that was found after testing to contain ricin. The letter was similar to one mailed to Mississippi Republican Sen. Roger Wicker, which also tested positive for ricin.

President seeks to cut payments to federal contractors

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Obama administration says it can save hundreds of millions of dollars a year by cutting payments to some federal contractors, but it needs backing from a Congress that has ignored the presidents prior calls to change the

reimbursement formula. White House budget officials said Thursday they will soon send lawmakers a proposal to tie the reimbursement cap to the presidents salary. Under the plan, the cap would increase any time the president gets a pay raise and by a corre-

sponding amount. The cap is currently set by law and adjusted annually. Officials say it has increased by more than 300 percent since it started at $250,000 in the mid-1990s. The cap was $763,000 in fiscal year 2011. It is set to top $950,000 for the current fiscal year.

WASHINGTON A suspicious letter mailed to the White House and intercepted this week was similar to two threatening, poison-laced letters on the gun law debate sent to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, one of the nations most potent gun-control advocates, ofcials said Thursday. Yet another letter became known publicly on Thursday, one tainted with the poison ricin and mailed to President Barack Obama from Spokane, Wash., the FBI said. Michael Authorities have arrested a man in Bloomberg Spokane in connection with that letter, which was intercepted May 22. The Secret Service said the White House-bound letter similar to the ones Bloomberg was sent was intercepted by a White House mail screening facility. Two similar letters postmarked in Louisiana and sent to Bloomberg in New York and his gun control group in Washington contained traces of the deadly poison ricin. It wasnt immediately clear whether the letter sent to Obama contained ricin. It was turned over to the FBIs Joint Terrorism Task Force for testing and investigation. The two Bloomberg letters, opened Friday in New York and Sunday in Washington, contained an oily pinkishorange substance. New York Police Department Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Thursday the same machine or computer had produced the two letters to Bloomberg and the similar one to Obama and that they may be identical. He referred specic questions to the FBI. The FBI said in a statement that eld tests on the letters were consistent with the presence of a biological agent, and the letters were turned over to an accredited laboratory for the kind of thorough analysis that is needed to verify a tentative nding.

Iraqi forces fail to stem violence

By Adam Schreck
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD Officials in Iraq are growing increasingly concerned over an unabated spike in violence that claimed at least another 33 lives on Thursday and is reviving fears of a return to widespread sectarian fighting. Authorities announced plans to impose a sweeping ban on many cars across the Iraqi capital starting early Friday in an apparent effort to thwart car bombings, as the United Nations envoy to Iraq warned that systemic violence is ready to explode. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, meanwhile, was shown on state television visiting security checkpoints around Baghdad the previous night as part of a three-hour inspection tour, underscoring the governments efforts to show it is acting to curtail the bloodshed. Iraqi security forces are struggling to contain the countrys most relentless round of violence since the 2011 U.S. military withdrawal. The rise in violence follows months of protests against the Shiite-led government by Iraqs Sunni minority, many of whom feel theyve been marginalized and unfairly treated since the 2003 U.S.led invasion. Tensions escalated sharply last month after a deadly

crackdown by security forces on a Sunni protest camp. Sunni militants, including alQaida, have long targeted Iraqs Shiite majority and government security forces. But Sunni mosques and other targets have also been struck over the past several weeks, raising the possibility that Shiite militias are also growing more active. Several members of the security forces were killed in Thursdays bombings. The attacks also included an assassination attempt by a suicide bomber targeting a provincial governor in the countrys Sunni-dominated west. These daily patterns of car bomb attacks ... in Baghdad and some other cities (are) really unacceptable for the people of Iraq, who have suffered so much, Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said Thursday. Its the governments responsibility to redouble its efforts, to revise its security plans, to contain this wave, to prevent it from sliding into sectarian conflict and war, he added.

Boston bombing suspect is walking,mother says

By Max Seddon and Musa Sadulayev
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MAKHACHKALA, Russia The remaining suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings has recovered enough to walk and assured his parents in a phone conversation that he and his slain brother were innocent, their mother told the Associated Press on Thursday. Meanwhile, the father of a Chechen immigrant killed in Florida while being interrogated by the FBI about his ties to the slain brother maintained that the U.S. agents killed his son

execution-style. D z h o k h a r Tsarnaev, 19, walked without a wheelchair to speak to his mother last week for the rst and only phone conversation they have had since he has been in custody, Dzhokhar Zubeidat Tsarnaeva Tsarnaev told the AP. In a rare glimpse at Dzhokhar Tsarnaevs state of mind, he told her he was getting better and that he had a very good doctor, but was struggling to understand what happened, she said.

He didnt hold back his emotions either, as if he were screaming to the whole world: What is this? Whats happening?, she said. The April 15 bombings killed three people and wounded more than 260. Elder brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed in a shootout with police, and Dzhokhar remains in a prison hospital after being badly wounded. I could just feel that he was being driven crazy by the unfairness that happened to us, that they killed our innocent Tamerlan, their mother said, standing by the familys insistence that their children are innocent. according to an insurance industry study. Across the nation, motorcyclists opposed to mandatory helmet use have been chipping away at state helmet laws for years while crash deaths have been on the rise. For more than 40 years, Michigan required all motorcycle riders to wear helmets. State legislators changed the law last year so that only riders younger than 21 must wear helmets. The average insurance payment on a motorcycle injury claim was $5,410 in the two years before the law was changed, and $7,257 after it was changed an increase of 34 percent, the study by the Highway Loss Data Institute found.

Dubious of Californias rebound

Orange County Register

Other voices
rank 48th, at 2.92 percent of payroll, indicating things have gotten much worse since some reforms were enacted in 2004. The property tax burden ranks 27th, averaging 3.5 percent of personal income. On the positive side, California has no inheritance tax. Public employees make up 4.6 percent of the population, the fthlowest proportion. And the state has strong tax limitation measures, with increases usually requiring voter approval. The result: Looking forward, California ranks 47th in economic outlook for the future. That mirrors the U.S. Labor Departments tally of unemployment, where California ranked 47th in April, at 9 percent unemployed, ahead of Mississippi, Illinois and Nevada. The biggest stumbling block is high taxes, Mr. Laffer said when we asked about our state during a conference call with reporters. California tax rates are 60 percent higher overall than in Texas, which has no state income tax. Ironically, he

alifornias economy has been riding a wave, with a budget balanced, at least for now, and a surge of revenue surpassing expectations. Despite the euphoria, a little caution is in order. A dose comes from the 2013 edition of the report, Rich States, Poor States, which compares the business competitiveness of U.S. states. Its produced by the American Legislative Exchange Council, a bipartisan organization that aids state legislators, and economist Arthur Laffer, who helped design Californias Proposition 13 tax-limiting measure in 1978 and President Ronald Reagans 1981 tax cuts. This sixth annual Rich States, Poor States report contains a special 18-page section about California. The report grades states by 15 criteria, including top marginal income tax rate (California is worst, 13.3 percent), top marginal corporate income tax rate (38th, 8.84 percent) and state minimum wage (43rd, $8 an hour). Average workers compensation costs

said, California government spending is about even with Texas, per capita. The Lone Star State just collects taxes more efciently and spends the money more wisely. Public-employee unions, powerful in California, are much weaker in Texas. We asked about Gov. Jerrys Browns continued proclamation that California is back because Proposition 30s $7 billion in extra tax revenue supposedly has xed the states perennial budget decit problems. Jerry Brown is just wrong on that, Mr. Laffer replied. He said he has known Gov. Brown since his rst stint as governor (1975-83), when he embraced tax cuts and budget limitations. State revenue is higher only because Proposition 30s income-tax increase was retroactive to 2012, Mr. Laffer said. I dont really believe this will work. We agree. Whats working is shown by the success of other states with lower taxes, less government and faster growth. Our fear is that, when the next recession hits, California will be hit even harder.

Our problem with the millennials

never hung out in a coffee shop, but I wore annel and liked grunge music. I am Generation X, so named because we didnt have an identity aside for the one foisted on us by the media. We were slackers, we were going nowhere, we didnt have a dening war to rail for or against. But when we grew up, we became normal people with normal problems. We started businesses and families and spawned the next generation. I suspect it will be the same for the millennials, the so-called Me Me Me generation. Every generation goes through this process of trying to identify itself and having another generation label them. The millennials are supposedly narcissistic, self-important and sometimes banal, but imagine if there was Facebook and Twitter when other generations were establishing themselves? We would look like self-centered jerks too. But young folks are more on display, and have a larger platform to express their woes. The world doesnt provide enough for us! The economy is terrible! I cant afford college! There are no jobs! What generation didnt have these types of complaints? None. We all did. But for some reason, we now point to the young folk and say they just dont understand what its like in the real world. While some of the opinions I encounter from some of the millennials are strange and based on terrible research, at least young people are forming opinions about the world. And those opinions will change as experience forms them into adults. This generation may have issues with the world revolving around them and the undercurrent of duress that derives from that, but it is also one of the most accepting and forward-thinking generation in a while. Technology is not feared, but widely accepted and thousands and thousands can galvanize around a cause in the time it takes most of us to even learn the basics. While some of that is stupid Kony 2012 anyone? it is also evidence of an aware generation wanting to make a difference. This generation is also grabbing onto the idea of equality and sensitivity with a furor. Though it sometimes goes farther than the apex, we should all take a lesson in this ideal. It is good. And much of this self-important attitude has been imprinted by us, Generation X, in our quest to make everyone seem worthwhile. Perhaps we grew up in the shadow of the boomers and felt that we werent taken seriously or didnt have merit. So we gave out trophies for participation and laud every small accomplishment. Perhaps we should leave this generation alone, and stop trying to down it for its socalled self importance. They may only feel this way because we wanted them to. And for those who feel such despair at the faces in the screens, take a look in the mirror. You use those screens too. And you probably would have used them just as much if they were around when you were young. Besides, who do you think plopped them in front of portable DVD players to keep them quiet? And who gives them iPads now with the same goal in mind? This idea that they are too absorbed in screens and themselves is a straw man, it is an afiction of our times just more pronounced in the younger generation. But yes, kids should go outside. They should spend less time on the Internet. They should realize that there is a larger world out there to explore. They should not feel so entitled. They should try to make something out of what was is here now. And they will. Just as I stopped wearing annel, listening to grunge music and wondering what to make of myself.

Letters to the editor

High-speed rail
Editor, It is time for the political leaders and residents of the cities between Santa Clara and Brisbane to tell the California High-Speed Rail Authority goodbye and good riddance. The high-speed rail project will provide very limited benefits to the people of the Peninsula, while, at the same time causing a massive disruption during its construction. It was not too many years ago that the residents of San Francisco demanded the elevated Embarcadero freeway be torn down. It was torn down, because the residents and politicians thought it was an eyesore, hurt property values and blocked their view of the San Francisco Bay. The politicians of Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles and the HighSpeed Rail Authority think it is OK to build this massive eyesore in our neighborhood. A more reasonable route would be for high-speed rail to follow the Union Pacifics rail lines in the East Bay. These rail lines run mostly through industrial areas. Downtown San Francisco can be served by an interchange with BART i n Oakland. Dont let them destroy our neighborhoods to satisfy their egos. The highspeed rail system, with its massive construction costs, is almost certainly going to be a money pit. Government projects of this size, rarely, if ever, come in on budget. If this project had an even chance of making money, private venture capital and industry would be standing in line to get a piece of it.

PG&E doesnt get it

Editor, PG&E just doesnt get it (PG&E calls $2.5B ne for deadly blast excessive, in the May 25 edition of the Daily Journal). The $2.2 billion they are now spending on system upgrades and other improvements is not in any way compensation for the San Bruno tragedy that work is what it is supposed to be doing as a public utility. Its an expected operating expense for any responsible company. Imagine if FedEx or UPS failed to maintain their trucks. Asking for that to count toward punitive damages is outrageous. The whole concept of punitive damages is to punish a company for gross negligence at a level large enough to make it feel pain, thus inspiring it to think twice and do the right thing the next time a difcult decision comes along. Think about Ford deciding lawsuits would cost less than xing the Pinto this is criminally negligent. And saying it did not violate any federal standards, policies, etc., is yet another way it is admitting it is taking no responsibility whatsoever for the disaster. As for the argument that widows, orphans and really nice people invested in PG&E and shouldnt have to pay, get over it. They made money through the misman-

agement of the company. Like it or not, their income over the years has been the fruit of a poisoned tree. I didnt participate in the shenanigans that crashed the entire economy a few years ago, but I lost money nonetheless, just like most everybody else. Its time for PG&E and other companies to recognize their social, moral and duciary responsibilities. Maintain your infrastructure and ensure public safety. There is no excuse for negligence and sooner or later karma will catch up with you.

Defective bolts
Editor, Over the last few years numerous Chinese made products have been discovered. Defective drywall; Defective tires; Toys with lead paint; Contaminated pet food; and Melamine in foods. Is it a surprise to anyone that the Chinese construction company who built the bridge used substandard products? The question is how many other defective or substandard parts are there in the Bay Bridge?

Clearwire Corp.,up $1.02 at $4.50 Satellite TV operator Dish Network said that it raised its bid for the wireless network operator,valuing it at $6.9 billion.

NEW YORK The stock market rose Thursday after a pair of lackluster economic reports raised expectations that the Federal Reserve will continue to boost the economy with its stimulus program. Unemployment claims rose and an initial estimate of rst-quarter economic growth was revised slightly lower. That suggests the U.S. economy may still need some time to recover from its funk and that the Fed will keep up its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases. The big worry thats been hitting the market lately, that the Fed might step back prematurely, might be fading a little today on the idea that the economy does need a bit more support, Jeff Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial, said. The rise in the Standard & Poors 500 index was led by banking and insurance stocks, which gained 1.1 percent. Among individual bank stocks, Bank of America rose to its highest in more than two years. JPMorgan also climbed. Banks and other stocks that stand to benet the most from an improving

economy have surged this week, a change from earlier in the year when investors favored dividend-rich stocks like utilities. Now investors are selling dividend-rich stocks and buying socalled growth stocks. The S&Ps nancial index is up 2.1 percent this week; its utilities index is down 2.5 percent. Even after this weeks gain, by one measure bank stocks are still less expensive than the broader market. The price-to-earnings ratio for financial companies is 14.4 for banks and insurers, compared with 16.2 for all companies in the S&P 500 index, according to FactSet. Banks are also attractive to investors because they have the capacity to increase their dividends from the current low levels, having bolstered their cash reserves after the nancial crisis, Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial, said. Banks appear to be on the mend, said Sheldon. Bank of America rose 35 cents, or 2.6 percent, to $13.87. JPMorgan gained 95 cents, or 1.7 percent, $55.62 and Morgan Stanley rose 84 cents, or 3.4 percent, to $25.82. Stocks also got a boost from deal news. NV Energy surged $4.34, or 23 per-

cent, to $23.62, leading a broad advance in utility companies, after a company owned by Warren Buffetts Berkshire Hathaway agreed to pay a premium of 23 percent to buy the Nevada-based power provider. Clearwire, a wireless network operator, surged $1.02 cents, or 29 percent, to $4.50 after satellite TV operator Dish Network raised its bid for the company to $6.9 billion. In economic news, the number of Americans seeking unemployment aid rose last week, a sign layoffs have increased, the Labor Department said Thursday. Claims for unemployment aid rose 10,000 last week to 354,000. The government also lowered its estimate for U.S. economic growth in the rst three months of the year to 2.4 percent from 2.5 percent. The S&P 500 rose in early trading, climbing as much as 13.55 points, or 0.8 percent, by late afternoon. The index then gave up some of its gain in the last hour of trading to end up just 6.05 points, or 0.4 percent, at 1,654.41. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 21.73 points, or 0.1 percent, at 15,324.53 points. The Nasdaq composite index rose 23.78 points, or 0.7 percent, to 3,491.30.

Karver takes over Caada volleyball

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The high school baseball season may be over, but the summer season is just starting to pick up steam. Many a high school player will spend the summer playing ball in a number of venues whether established summer leagues like American League or Joe DiMaggio, or join up with all-star tournament or travel teams. The three months between the school year will be lled with the repetition that goes with playing baseball. Its also the time for what is generally termed showcase events: a series of drills and games that brings together players from all over the area, state or nation to play in front of college and professional scouts. One of the rst on the summer docket is the 10th annual Bay Area World Series, which will be held June 21-23 at Schott Stadium at Santa Clara University. The brainchild of Blaine Clemmens, the BAWS brings together some of the top junior talent in the Bay Area, puts them on teams and plays a tournament. Clemmens, a native of the Midwest and a former assistant coach at University of San Francisco and a former pro scout for the Atlanta Braves, always wanted to see the top players from the Bay Area compete against one another. I never got to see St. Francis play De La Salle, Clemmens said. I wanted to see the best players play each other. I wanted to see some of the best players get after it a little bit. Unlike a lot of showcase events, Clemmens likes to try and maintain a team atmosphere at the BAWS. As such, he tries to keep players from the same area on the same team. So the North team will be comprised of players from the North Bay Area while the Peninsula team will be made up of players from the Peninsula. The team (atmosphere) comes from (the

The Caada womens volleyball team had a rough 2013, going 0-13 overall. On Thursday, the college announced the rst step in trying to turn its volleyball misfortune around. Alicia Karver, formerly a head coach with the Mercy-Burlingame program and currently a coach at Vision in Los Gatos, takes over for the Colts is what is her rst community college head coaching job. Im really excited, Karver said. I played at a junior college and Ive coached at a junior college so I know thats where I want to be. Ive already met some of the staff. They all seem really friendly and nice so Im looking forward to hopefully growing the program. Karver is a proven winner, having started her college-playing career at San Joaquin Delta and taking conference titles each of her two seasons. Her freshman campaign, Karver and Delta finished second in the state. Her sophomore year, they made the Final Four before she took her game to Cal State University-San Bernardino. There, she won two conference titles and nished second in the nation her senior year. Karver went on to earn her masters degree in kinesiology from Sacramento State University. I think its just reaching out to as many contacts as I can and talking to other coaches, Karver said when asked what step one in her coaching journey is. I want the other coaches and players in the community to know who Caada is and how that were looking to build the program. There are a lot of players out there that dont know if they want to play, or are on the fence, good players that didnt get a scholarship somewhere so theyre going to CSM, Skyline or Caada. Getting a hold of those players is going to be really big. Karvers Vision team just wrapped up a regional title and shes hoping her success through the various coaching ranks helps her relate to the Caada players. I played in a different conference, but I think I can denitely relate to them because

Ohio States Gordon Gee is Exhibit A for why university presidents cant be trusted to run college sports. Consider his career arc. A dozen years ago, Gee was being hailed as a reformer. Now hes just another fanboy. And as this latest foot-in-mouth moment reminded us, a far-toocomfortable fanboy who still doesnt know when to stop talking. Gees latest gaffe was almost too predictable. He not only shares the us-against-the-world view of the most rabid Buckeye fans, hes increasingly determined

to share that view with the public. Gee did it again last December in remarks to the schools Athletics Council that were reported Thursday, after The Associated Press obtained notes and a recording from the meeting under a public records request. In a matter of just minutes, he slammed those damn Catholics who run Notre Dame athletics as untrustworthy, dismissed Louisville and Kentucky as schools academically unworthy of joining the Big Ten Conference, and suggested the Southeastern Conference should devote more of its resources to teaching reading and writing skills.

Cox shrugs off injury,helps USF to NCAA regional

By Joseph Hoyt
SPECIAL TO THE DAILY JOURNAL

Twenty-ve innings pitched, a statistic that seems minuscule in comparison to the average college pitchers full season slate, appeared unfathomable to University of San Francisco left-hander Thomas Cox in the months leading up to the 2013 season. Afractured bone in his back, Coxs freshman campaign for the Dons almost ended before it even started and with an injury of that magnitude, a rst year relegated to redshirt status became more and more likely as the baseball season approached. I was upset when I rst got injured, Cox said. I thought I would redshirt because I wasnt going to be able to play for a few months. The forecast for the 2013 season was bleak but, instead of redshirting, Cox changed his mentality of the situation, and decided to try and make a comeback. Now, Cox and the Dons nd themselves in the Oregon regional on the road to the College World Series. My coaches and teammates gave me the condence and trust I needed to change my mentality and attack the rehab so I could comeback and pitch this year, the former Serra star said. After months of arduous rehab and recovery, Cox returned to the mound and gave USF manager Nino Giarratano a glimpse at what he could expect from his young arm in the years to come.

In his rst start for the Dons, Cox faced off against his former Serra teammate and NevadaReno starting pitcher Barry Timko and pitched magnicently. Cox retired 17 of the rst 18 Wolf Pack hitters and cruised through six full innings to earn a 4-1 victory in his very rst start at the collegiate level. Giarratano praised Cox after the game, saying he executed well and gave the Dons a chance to win the game. Our team does a lot of visualization, Cox said. During my time out I would be on the mound almost everyday visualizing facing hitters. When I got on the mound and actually threw a ball it felt like I had never left. Coxs uphill comeback, from assured redshirt to solid contributor for the USF pitching staff, personies the qualities that the Dons baseball team portrays every time it hits the diamond. Cox said the USF team motto in 2013 has been to, prepare like an underdog, but play like a champion, a way of life thats followed the team from the pre-season up to this point in the season. Before the season, many college baseball experts picked San Francisco to be a mediocreat-best participant in the West Coast Conference. Instead the Dons, powered by fellow Serra alums Zach Turner and Justin Maffei, blasted their way past WCC competition and made it to the conference championship game before falling to the Toreros of San Diego by a

score of 2-0. Even after missing out on an automatic bid to make the NCAA baseball tournament, USFs

34-22 overall record was deemed worthy by the selection committee to earn an at-large seed in the 64-team eld. On Friday, Dons right-hander Haden Hinkle, the teams ace, will get the ball against Rice University in the rst matchup of the four-team, double-elimination regional playoff at PK Park in Eugene, Ore. Like Cox, Hinkle had to undergo an uphill climb of his own to get to the front of the USF rotation. In his rst three seasons, Hinkle was a perennial bullpen arm for Giarratanos squad. In spurts, he ashed the potential to be a quality starter, but never formulated his talents into consistent production. Entering this season, the top of the Dons starting rotation was left with a gaping hole after the selection of former USF pitcher Kyle Zimmer by the Kansas City Royals as the fth overall selection in the 2012 MLB Draft. With Zimmer gone, someone in the pool of USF pitchers had to step up and replace Zimmer as the ace of the staff. Hinkle (9-1, 1.81 ERA) took the responsibility on himself and excelled as the Dons go-to guy. Not only did Hinkle have one of the best statistical seasons on the Hilltop, but hes also evolved into a leader for this young pitching staff. Hes a great leader and a teammate, Cox said. He just makes pitches.

Garin, Halet take swim honors M-A Stenstrom PALs best

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division was full of big-sh swimmers in 2013. But the biggest shark was a Carlmont Scot. Ivan Garin was announced at the PAL Bays Swimmer of Meet and thus, its top swimmer as selected by the divisions coaches. The senior had a superb 2013 for the Scots. At the PAL Bay Divisions championship meet, Garin took home a trio of gold medals. By winning the 50-freestyle (21.48), he took home the Fastest Swimmer in the PAL honors. He then showed great versatility with a win in the 100-buttery (51.03) and he anchored the 200-freestyle relay (1:29.60) team that also featured Nico Camerino a two-time medal winner and now a member of the PAL Bay rst team.

At the Central Coast Section championships, Garin was a doublebronze winner. The Burlingame Panthers are the latest Bay champions and boasted four members on the rst team. That quartet is led by the legendary Kawei Tan, who nished off his Panther career with four-medal performance at the Bays championships all gold. Other Panthers include Eric Bakar, Ernie Ribera and Joshua Yeager Burlingame had another trio make the second team. Mills Jake Lin and Andrew Quan made the rst team. MenloAthertons Jack Bassin, Terra Novas Bryant Jacobs, Aragons Ivan Chen and Sequoias Michael Ma (the lone freshman) round out the rst of the Bays nest. Over in the Ocean Division, a year after San Mateos Ronald Chen left a lasting mark on the swim scene, another Bearcat stamped his name in history.

JJ Halet took the divisions top honor. He was the lone Bearcat to make the rst team. He took home the 200-freestyle (1:45.26) and 100freestyle (49.33) during the division championships. South San Francisco sent three swimmers to the rst team Matthew Bernas, Matthew Kwong and Eli Mar. Theyre all juniors and will make the Warriors very formidable next season. Erin Bloomer and Jack Dobbrow nish their Half Moon Bay careers as rst teamers. Hillsdales Javier Rosas had a breakout season as a sophomore last year and backed that up with a fourgold win at the division championships. Eric Garcia joins him on the rst team representing the Knights. El Caminos JR Refuerzo, Westmoors Christopher Lee, plus Woodsides Karl Arvidsson and Kiernan Latham round out the Oceans rst team.

Shes young. But man, can she swim. Menlo-Athertons Brooke Stenstrom was named the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Divisions Swimmer of the Meet and thus takes home its top honor. The award caps off a spectacular coming-out party for the Bears phenom who is only a freshman. The feat is even more incredible considering the caliber of swimmers in the PAL Bay Division a pool that includes record-setting kind of talent. But PAL coaches really had no other choice. In just her rst season in the PAL waters, Stenstrom pulled off a quadruple-gold at the division championships the 200-medley relay (1:46.29), 50 freestyle (23.54), 100 freestyle (51.34) and 400-freestyle relay

(3:34.33). Stemstrom wasnt the only freshman sensation in the PAL Bay. Mary Lane (M-A) and Abby Hartzell (Sequoia) also found spots on the PAL Bay rst team after remarkable freshmen campaigns. M-A lled the rst-team sheet. Besides Land and Stenstrom, Maddie Pont, Sierra Sheeper, Kindle Van Linge and Nicole Zanolli all received nods. Burlingame placed two swimmers on the first team: Julia Willams the future of Panther swimming and the already-legendary Leah Goldman, who will have another year to try and capture Stenstroms newly-acquired honor. Kristen Denney (Carlmont) and Lily Nelson (Sequoia) round out the Bays rst team. Over in the Ocean, the San

The comments I made were just plain wrong, and in no way do they reect what the university stands for, Gee said in a statement to the AP. They were a poor attempt at humor and entirely inappropriate. And not for the rst time, either. Gee has always had an eye for the colorful quote. When he became chancellor at Vanderbilt a dozen years ago after stints at West Virginia, Colorado, Ohio State (the rst time) and Brown hed already seen rsthand how a grab-the-cash mentality was threatening the integrity of both big-time sports and the schools that competed at them. So he declared war, getting rid of the athletic directors job and taking back some of that departments power. In the midst of the effort, Gee ran into plenty of resistance, even joking at the time, Ive always said that if I tried this at Ohio State, Id be pumping gas in my hometown of Vernal, Utah. But by the time Gee arrived at Ohio State again in 2007, hed apparently decided not to try that hard. Hes had a hard time living down what he said after a scandal erupted over OSU players selling memorabilia for cash and tattoos a mess that was compounded when the NCAA subsequently learned that then-coach Jim Tressel knew about the scheme and lied trying to cover it up. At a news conference announcing a suspension for Tressel (who later resigned under pressure), someone asked Gee whether hed consider ring his coach. No, are you kidding me? Gee replied. Let me be very clear. Im just hoping the coach doesnt dismiss me. He wasnt kidding at the time, and heres why: Like more than a few of his peers, Gee figured out somewhere along the trajectory of his career that a university president could live like a sheik by raising huge sums of money for his school; and while the football team generates less than 1 percent of OSUs total budget, it

Heat win pivotal Game 5 LITKE

By Tim Reynolds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI There will be no win-or-else Game 6 in the Eastern Conference nals for the Miami Heat this season. LeBron James saw to that, and now the reigning champions are one victory from a third straight trip to the NBA Finals. James finished with 30 points, eight rebounds and six assists, Udonis Haslem made his last eight shots on the way to a 16point night, and the Heat used a dominant third quarter to turn things around and beat the Indiana Pacers 90-79 in Game 5 on Thursday. Mario Chalmers scored 12 points and Dwyane Wade added 10 for the Heat, who lead the series 3-2 and will look to close it out at Indiana on Saturday night. The Heat ousted the Pacers in six games in a secondround matchup last season. Paul George had 27 points and 11 rebounds for the Pacers, who got 22 points from Roy Hibbert and 17 from David West. The Pacers led by as many as seven at one point, but had no answer for the Heat in the third, getting outscored 30-13 in the period, including 21-6 in the nal 7 minutes. James and Haslem combined for 26 points in the third, and were simply too much. Haslems rst shot of the night hit the side of the backboard. He didnt miss again, going 8 for 8 and sealing it with a jumper with 1:51 left 12 seconds before drawing an offensive foul against Lance Stephenson, the sixth for the Pacers guard, who nished with just four points. A year ago, the Heat lost Game 5 of the East nals to Boston, and needed a 45-point game from James in Game 6 just to extend their season. Not this time. The Finals and a date with San Antonio is now one win away. As if this one needed any more buildup,

there was plenty of news long before tipoff. The NBA announced in the morning that it ned James, West and Lance Stephenson $5,000 apiece for flopping in Game 4, along with upgrading a foul that West committed against Wade in the fourth quarter of that game to a agrant-1. Then Hibbert and West, speaking after Indianas morning practice, said they have to protect their knees when Shane Battier is in the game for Miami, though neither atly accused the Heat forward of dirty play. And all that happened more than eight hours prior to game time. Things didnt exactly calm down once the ball went into the air. Indiana was blown out in Game 5 of a tiedup series at Miami last season, never holding the lead and losing by 32 points. This one took a much different tone from the outset, with the Pacers running out to a 15-9 lead that could have been worse for Miami given that West and Hibbert combined to miss three easy layups in the opening minutes. George and Hibbert combined for all of Indianas 23 points in the first quarter. Indianas lead was four after the rst quarter, and when the second began, the reminders that these teams simply do not like each other started coming fast and furious. Chris Andersen and Tyler Hansbrough needed to be separated early in the second, and both got technicals after Andersen appeared to hit Hansbrough twice, rst with a shoulder and then with a two-hand shove. Andersen also picked up a agrant-1 for his efforts, things cooled off a bit for the rest of the half, and Indiana went into the break up 44-40. The Pacers then scored the rst basket of the third. After that, all Heat. Or more specically, all James and Haslem, who put together a burst that the defending champions desperately needed.

garners nearly all of the attention. So he became the Buckeyes biggest cheerleader, a see-no-evil monarch who spares no expense to spread the gospel. For a full description of how large Gee lives as OSU president, search out a story last Sept. 22 from the Dayton Daily News, which spent nearly a year requesting public records from the university. Gee is not only the highest paid CEO of a public university pulling in $8.6 million in salary and compensation since 2007 hes also put in for another $7.7 million in expenses. He lives in a 9,600-square-foot mansion on 1.3 acres, stays in luxury hotels, dines at country clubs and swank restaurants, throws lavish parties, ies on private jets and hands out thousands of gifts all at public expense, the newspaper found. Over that same period, Gee spent more than $64,000 on bow ties (he owns upward of 2,000), bow tie cookies and O-H and bow tie pins to distribute. I dont expect Mr. Gee to live like a monk, Dale Butland of Innovation Ohio, a liberal think tank based in Columbus, told the newspaper. I just dont think he should be living like Donald Trump. Not every college president lives that way, of course. But if youre the boss of a school with a big piece of the revenue pie that is college sports these days, chances are good you arent staging bake sales to get by, either. While Gee is hardly the only member of the fraternity whos displayed excessive loyalty and questionable judgment trying to prop up his sports programs, hes practically made himself the poster child for the problem. That wasnt what anyone had in mind little more than a decade ago, when university presidents wrested control of the NCAA from their athletic directors and conference commissioners with a promise to halt runaway spending and reform big-time sports. Talk about wolves in sheeps clothing.

have heard of the big-name high school guys. But how many have heard of Carlmonts Barret or Mills Vallans? I cut my recruiting teeth at USF, Clemmens said. I had to learn to nd diamonds in the rough. As such, Clemmens is not going to take just anybody to participate in the BAWS. He has a large network of trusted coaches and others involved in the high school baseball scene who will recommend players to participate. Clemmens will also use his own scouting and evaluations before sending out invitations. Theres a certain prole I look for. You have to t a certain criteria, Clemmens said. I dont need a kid who is a star today. Just bring me your quality players. Clemmens said he also relies on player recommendations because he believes they may be more truthful with their evaluation than a particular players high school coach may be. I use a lot of player recommendations, Clemmens said. They happen to know who the good players are. While its not free to play in the BAWS, Clemmens tries to make sure it is a worthwhile investment for the player and his family. If he doesnt think a player belongs, he wont take a check just to make a buck. Clemmens can be picky. In 10 years, the BAWS has seen hundreds of participants go on to sign Division I college scholarships, and scores more who were eventually drafted by professional teams. The best kids around are going to be in it. Ive heard its a really good event. All those scouts dont come for nothing, Souza said.

This years Peninsula team will have a number of familiar names and faces as players from Aragon (Steven Hughes, Andre Perkins), Carlmont (Kyle Barret), Hillsdale (Chandler Vieira), Mills (Kyle Vallans) and Serra (Neil Sterling, Sean Watkins, Nolan Dempsey, Danny Molinari) will be on the roster. Local high school managers believe this setting can be an excellent opportunity for kids who may not necessarily be known to get some exposure. Vieira, for example, could be easily overlooked. A 5-8, 160pound pitcher, he doesnt have the frame to draw a lot of attention. But hes a competitor, he throws strikes, he keeps the ball down, said Neal Donohoe, Vieiras high school manager at Hillsdale. The exposure can be great for a kid like that. Aragon manager Lenny Souza agrees. Hughes and Perkins may not be well known outside the Aragon community, but this is a chance for them to put their names on the baseball map. I think its a really big opportunity for them. They can nd out where they can t in, Souza said. Im curious to see how they match up. The thing I like about these (showcase events), if you go and do well, so many people will know you. A lot of names get bounced around (college and pro scouts).

Two of Menlo Colleges best players on the diamond are being recognized for their efforts inside the classroom. The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics announced Wednesday that Menlo Colleges Coleman Cox and Ululani Reyes are two of 266 baseball student-athletes to be named a 2013 Daktronics-NAIA Scholar Athletes. In order to be nominated by an institutions head coach or sports information director, a studentathlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale and must be a junior or senior in academic status. This is the second time Cox has earned this honor. Cox, a senior shortstop from San Diego, owns a perfect 4.0 cumulative grade point average in

nance and accounting, and has spent four years on the Deans List. He recently earned Menlo Colleges Collis Steere Award, which is an honor given to student-athletes with the highest cumulative grade point average. On the field, Cox helped the Oaks to a program-best 34-win season and an impressive 20-8 mark in NAIA West play. Cox started at shortstop in 48 of the Oaks 52 games, amassing a .301 batting average with 11 doubles, three home runs, 24 runs batted in and 22 walks. In addition, he scored 30 runs and stole seven bases. In four seasons at Menlo, Cox appeared in 386 games, batting .301 with 19 doubles, six home runs, 61 RBIs and 10 stolen bases. Reyes, a senior shortstop from Kaneohe, Hawaii, owns a 3.664 cumulative grade point average as

a psychology major and has earned a spot on the Deans List in each of her four years as a Menlo College student-athlete. She also earned Menlos Collis Steere Award, and like Cox, this marks the second time Reyes has earned a spot as a DaktronicsNAIA Scholar-Athlete, having received the honor following her junior season in 2012. Reyes played an integral part in leading the Lady Oaks to its most wins in the past ve seasons (17) in 2013, starting at shortstop in all 44 games. She nished her senior campaign with a .275 batting average with 20 walks and 10 stolen bases to go along with a .943 elding percentage. In four seasons at Menlo, Reyes has appeared in over 159 games, racking up 126 hits, 30 stolen bases and 16 doubles. She holds a career batting average of .275.

Bill moves new Warriors arena forward

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO The state Assembly has approved a bill that clears a procedural step in the Golden State Warriors attempt to build a new arena in San Francisco. The legislation from Democratic Assemblyman Phil Ting of San Francisco authorizes the citys port commission to approve using waterfront land for the proposed arena. Significant public access to the site must be retained. Democratic Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, who represents Berkeley and other communities near the Warriors current arena in

Oakland, objected to the bill. She says lawmakers should not help the NBA team and its related jobs shift from one region to another. The teams owners hope to open the 18,000-seat arena for the 2017 season. The Assembly passed AB1273 Thursday on a 50-9 vote, sending it to the Senate.

Kemp on DL with hamstring strain

ANAHEIM The Los Angeles Dodgers placed slumping All-Star center elder Matt Kemp on the 15-day disabled list Thursday because of a right hamstring strain.

The move was made before the team completed a string of four consecutive games against the Angels. Kemp was injured while running down a double in rightcenter by Mike Trout in the Dodgers 4-3 loss Wednesday night. It was the fourth time in Kemps career that the two-time Gold Glove winner has been on the DL, including two stints last season because of a left hamstring strain that cost him a combined 51 games. The Dodgers were 24-27 in his absences. Its not bad luck. Its life, Kemp said. I never want to be away from the game, but I have to at the moment.

Tesla Motors Inc. promises to add charging stations

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT Electric car maker Tesla Motors Inc. promises to boost the number of fast-charging stations in the U.S. and Canada to make cross-country travel by electric car possible in the next year. The company said Thursday that by the end of next month, it will triple the number of charging stations it runs from the current eight, and the number will go to around 100 in the coming year, putting stations within reach of almost the entire populations of both countries. The pace of construction is about twice as fast as the company had previously announced. The expanded supercharger network will allow owners of Teslas $70,000 Model S sedans to travel from Los Angeles to New York, probably by the coming winter, as well as make other long-distance trips. The Model S can travel about 200 miles, or for about three hours, when fully charged. With the network, it can be recharged to 50 percent of its battery capacity in 20 to 30 minutes, allowing drivers to make quick stops before driving on. The supercharging stations are about 10 times as faster than most public charging stations, Tesla said on its website. Currently Tesla has eight supercharger stations in California and on the East Coast. It has plans to add four stations in California this summer. Stations also will be added during the summer so drivers can go from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Seattle and Portland; and from Austin, Texas, to Dallas. They also will come on-line quickly in Illinois and Colorado. In addition, the company intends to add four stations this summer in the densely populated Eastern Seaboard, where it currently has two. Elon Musk, who leads the company, said Thursday that the stations will always be free for owners of the large-battery version of the Model S. Owners of the brands smallerbattery version will have to pay for the option of using the stations. Musk said most of Teslas customers dont know about the supercharger stations, and they wont have much of an impact on the companys current sales rate of around 20,000 per year. But they are necessary to appeal to a wider group of more mainstream customers who want to travel between states. They want to know that they have that ability to do so, and on a moments notice, to go wherever they want, Musk said. I think its really important for accessing a broader audience.

The Subaru 2014 Forester ranks as fth best SUV nameplate in fuel economy in the United States.

Subaru Forester remains smart

By Ann M. Job

The Subaru Forester, well known as a durable and eminently functional compact sport utility vehicle, adds more power, more room, more safety features and a retuned suspension for 2014. The new, fourth-generation Forester also has higher fuel economy ratings than its predecessor 24 miles per gallon in city driving and 32 mpg on the highway with base, 170-horsepower, four-cylinder engine and fuelefcient continuously variable transmission (CVT). As a result, the 2014 Forester ranks as fth best SUV nameplate in fuel economy in the United States among gasoline-only-powered SUVs, according to the federal government. Better yet, the new Forester is rated best small SUV by Consumer Reports, where predicted reliability is above average. Styling is new, too, though casual observers may not notice the Foresters freshened exterior and the

Electric vehicles once were billed as the answer to high gas prices and dependence on foreign oil. But U.S. oil production is rising and gasoline supplies are abundant. Pump prices have remained relatively stable the past three years, while gas-powered cars have gotten more efcient, making consumers reluctant to give them up. Theres also the worry that an electric car could run out of juice on longer trips. As a result, electric car sales are only a tiny fraction of overall U.S. auto sales. wheel drive. No automatic transmission is offered in 2014 models. Even with the price increase, the 2014 Foresters starting prices are lower than those of the 2013 Honda CR-V. The CR-Vs starting retail price, including destination charge, is $23,695 for a front-wheel drive model with 185-horsepower, four-cylinder engine and ve-speed automatic transmission. The lowest priced 2013 CR-V with allwheel drive is $24,875. But the 2013 Kia Sportage SUV starts lower, at $19,850 with 176-horsepower, four cylinder, manual transmission and front-wheel drive. The lowest starting retail price for a 2013 Sportage with automatic is $22,050, while the starting MSRP, including destination charge, for an all-wheel drive Sportage is $23,550. Note that unlike the Forester, the all-wheel drive Sportage only comes with automatic. Neither the CR-V nor Sportage offers a CVT.

Cheap leases offered to spur electric car sales

By Tom Krisher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT Auto companies are hoping lower lease prices can put a charge into sluggish electric car sales. Honda announced Thursday that its slashing the monthly lease cost of its tiny Fit EV by one third, following similar moves by other automakers. Honda also is throwing in other goodies, such as a free home charging station and unlimited mileage.

uct chief. The early adopters are kind of phased out of the EV market. To get that broader appeal to the EV, theyre doing some pretty aggressive lease deals, said Dominique, now an executive with the TrueCar.com auto pricing website. The sluggish sales have dampened high expectations for electric car use. President Barack Obama has said he wants to put 1 million plug-in electric vehicles on the road by 2015, but with two years left, the nation is far short of that goal. the dashboard in the tester was acceptable, though there was little air or style. Meantime, a rearview camera, which is standard on all CR-Vs, isnt available on the base 2014 Forester. But a drivers knee air bag and antiwhiplash front seats are new standard safety items on the 2014 Forester. The Forester remains a nimble handler, with suspension now providing a bit rmer ride. The base, 2.5-liter, double overhead cam, naturally aspirated, four-cylinder engine is the typical Subaru boxer design where pistons are arranged horizontally. Peak torque is 174 foot-pounds at 4,100 rpm, which is a bit better than the 168 footpounds at 4,000 rpm in Kias 2013 Sportage. But the Foresters 2-liter, horizontally opposed four cylinder thats turbocharged and direct injected is the big news. This engine, mated to the CVT in the tester, had some turbo lag. But once the power came on, the car moved sprightly and a bit loudly. Paddle shifters let drivers get all the power they could. Peak torque of 258 foot-pounds comes on as soon as 2,000 rpm and continues to 4,800 rpm.

After Earth disappointingly generic

By John DeFore
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Humanitys home planet hardly merits the name-check in After Earth, M. Night Shyamalans sci-fi survival tale whose shipwreck action could (with the exception of a scene where our hero scrawls a crude map over Lascauxlike cave paintings) take place

on any old life-supporting globe in the cosmos. The disappointingly generic film, which strands a father and son (Will and Jaden Smith) on Earth a thousand years after a planet-wide evacuation, will leave genre audiences pining for the more Terra-centric conceits of Oblivion, not to mention countless other future-set lms that nd novelty in making familiar sur-

roundings threatening. Will Smiths presence, not just as co-star but as originator of the story, seems likely to carry box ofce receipts beyond the benchmark of Shyamalans previous picture, the wretched The Last Airbender, but those hoping for a franchise should navigate elsewhere. Plans for such a franchise seem to be afoot, with lmmakers reportedly having

written 1,000 years of back story for these two characters and their society. They must be saving an awful lot for comic-book and videogame spinoffs, though, as the lm squeezes its millennium-long setup into a few short moments of voiceover introduction.

Jada Pinkett Smith candid on family,projects

By John Carucci
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Jada Pinkett Smith may have started as an actress, but these days her list of jobs includes author, singer-songwriter, philanthropist, successful businesswoman and, of course, wife and mother. With husband Will Smith, she started Overbrook Entertainment, which has produced many of Smiths films, as well as the upcoming remake of Annie. But Pinkett Smiths more recent focus has been the documentary Free Angela Davis and Other Political Prisoners, which marks the 40th anniversary of the acquittal of the 1970s political activist who once on the FBIs Most Wanted list. Davis was removed from her teaching job at UCLA in 1969 because she was a member of the Communist Party. A year later, she was charged with murder and kidnapping in a shootout in front of the Marin County, Calif., courthouse, then acquitted by an allwhite jury. I watched it and I thought I knew the Angela Davis story, and I even thought that I knew a lot about that era, and I didnt, she said. And I was just amazed that I didnt know more, that it was my right to have a thorough understanding of such a pivotal gure like Angela Davis and what that era was. Pinkett Smith says she not only learned a lot from spending time with the Davis, who was by her side for this interview, but she grew as a person. Pinkett Smith is trying to spread that kind of growth to others, especially via social media, where she frequently posts on thought-provoking issues, like blended families, bullying and more. In a recent interview, the 41year-old spoke candidly about her many roles, from the acting world to the one shes most proud of as family matriarch. AP: What did you know about Angela Davis gro w i n g up? Pinkett Smith: Oh absolutely, I knew that she was a pivotal part of the movement and I knew that she was powerful and I knew that she was intelligent, but what I did-

nt receive was the beauty of her feminine side, you know, and her softness, and the strength in her vulnerable nature... Ive learned a lot just simply being in her presence in that way, knowing that even in my own experiences, to be able to obtain a perspective that allows me to allow my experiences to deepen me and broaden me and make me more and not decrease me. So I would say that has been a gift. AP: You seem quite comfortable sharing your v i e w s on social media you recently asked whether white women should be allowed on the cover of black womens magazines. Pinkett Smith: One of the reasons that I did that is right now one of my very strong very focus at this point is trying to gure out how to engage women to flow power to one another. The idea is that theres a white womans issue. Or theres a black womans issue. Theres a Latina womans issue. The idea for women to understand is that if we could come together and ow each other power for issues that affect us all, that we would get a lot done. These are subjects that we cant be afraid to talk about because they hurt. Thats the step toward getting to solutions, and the step toward community. I dont get afraid in talking about subject matter that may spark controversy and Im not afraid to not be liked. I think that sometimes people pay too much attention to being liked and its paralyzing. I think that if we can respect one another, we always have to keep respect in. But Im not expecting people to like me all the time. Ive gotten out of that chain and ball (laughs) ball and chain of wanting to liked, because there are things we have to talk about that arent easy.

AP: Your Overbro o k Entertainment has been successful; tell me about your partnerships? Pinkett Smith: What I love about our alliance with Jay Z is that we have a beautiful time going into business together which I think is a beautiful thing to show. ... Jay is always calling us and were always calling him. Our next endeavor right now is Annie. Thats the next movie for us. AP: Wa s n t Wi l l o w s u pposed to star in Annie? Pinkett Smith: She was supposed to star in Annie and Willow has decided not to. ... She decided that she wants to be 12 and says right now shes really concentrating on music skills. Shes taking piano lessons, taking her singing lessons every day and writing. Shes really just developing herself. ... Shes taking her time to develop her skills, so when she feels like people are ready to know the real Willow, then she will make a comeback. AP: As an actress, businesswoman, and the matriarch of a high-pro le family, how do you deal with the constant rumors about you and Wi l l ?

Pinket Smith: Theyre quite easy obstacles. When I really think about what people are going through in the world today, and dealing with peoples speculations is one thing. And knowing simply that thats all that it is. (laughs) When youre living your truth and you understand your truth, things get very easy. They get less complicated at least, so Im very blessed. I am v e r y blessed, so speculations I can deal with.

the lmmakers personality in a screenplay credited to him and Book of Eli scribe Gary Whitta. The script hits its action beats competently as Kitai copes with marauding animals and dwindling supplies, and works best when the teen is in motion. But Shyamalan is of little help to the actor when Kitai faces internal challenges: Smiths performance, all furrowed brow and worried eyes, gives us no reason to believe Kitai is made of the same tough stuff as his father. Will Smith, meanwhile, is as hobbled as his character: Forced to sit in a chair, slowly bleeding to death as he impotently observes his sons various perils, Cypher is a man of action who cant act; Smith is a charisma-powered performer made to hide his charm behind a stern military demeanor. (When Kitai enters his rst dangerous standoff, faraway Dad offers a stoic non sequitur: Recognize your power: This will be your creation.) Shyamalan would have to try hard to make another lm as bad as Airbender; After Earths missteps in conception and execution are more akin to the head-scratching choices that kept The Happening from fullling its doomsday-ick potential. Who let that herd of fake-looking bison roam Earths grasslands, and who lit the critical scene, set on a tree stump amid roaring waterfalls, that was obviously shot on a soundstage? On a planet that now freezes every night, how do the ora of tropical rainforests survive? What seasoned soldier would send his son on a deadly four-day mission with a backpack the size of a bicycle seat? The lms resolution, predictable to any viewer, feels oddly impersonal for a father/son bonding tale both dreamed up and enacted by a father for the son following in his footsteps. Whatever the faults of 2006s The Pursuit of Happiness, that film employed the bond between the two Smiths much more effectively. One wonders if it might be wise to wait a while before the next pairing letting Jaden Smith, like Kitai Raige, come into his own before asking him to share a screen meaningfully with one of Hollywoods biggest personalities.

decamped en masse to Nova Prime, which would have been a nice place if not for the monsters that had been bred to kill humans. (By whom? Buy the comic book, kid.) Those beasts, Ursa, are blind, but can smell the pheromones humans release when afraid. When a member of the United Ranger Corps, the elder Smiths Cypher Raige, found himself able to suppress his fear, he was suddenly invisible to the monsters. Harnessing this ghosting technique, he became a hero in the still-raging war. What we dont learn in the too-quick intro is how all humankind came to speak in the same accent, most reminiscent perhaps of New Zealands -- one that suits none of the cast very well, and makes Jaden Smiths voiceover hard to follow. The script also fails to explain why future warriors, whose technology allows for a cutlass whose two ends morph into any type of blade the user requires, choose not to use guns or lasers against the mighty Ursa. One assumes its because somebody saw Darth Maul and thought his double-trouble light saber looked cool.

Redwood Symphony presents Sweeney Todd

By David Bratman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, is coming to Redwood City this weekend. His hosts are the Redwood Symphony and its music director, Eric Kujawsky. He makes his appearance in two semi-staged concert performances at Caada College Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon of Stephen Sondheims musical theater drama. Its a bit unexpected to nd a work associated with the greasepaint of Broadway at a formal orchestral concert, but Kujawsky insists it belongs there. In the history of American classical music, Kujawsky said, Sondheim could well be our greatest composer. His music is much more sophisticated than that of any other Broadway or popular composer. His shows are far more psychologically probing and complex than any other composers, including most opera composers. Only the snobbery that many serious musicians feel toward musical theater holds his reputation back. And Sweeney Todd is Sondheims grandest, most sophisticated and most operatic work. Its a retelling of a 19thcentury English penny dreadful story about a mad, murderous barber who slits his customers throats. Their bodies wind up supplying the meat pie shop around the corner. In Sondheims version, Sweeney has a sympathetic back story, as a man whod been wrongfully imprisoned, lost his family and now seeks revenge; but, foiled, he takes his fury out on his innocent customers instead. It sounds terribly gory, and it is. Aside from Assassins, which treats John Wilkes Booth and his successors, its Sondheims most disturbing musical. The Redwood Symphony advises parental discretion for children under 12, due to the adult subject matter. Kujawsky elaborates:

Cami Thompson and Walter Mayes star as Mrs. Lovett and Sweeney Todd in Redwood Symphonys concert production of Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.The concert will be presented twice,at 8 p.m.on Saturday June 1 and at 2 p.m.on Sunday June 2 in the Main Theatre of Caada College, 4200 Farm Hill Blvd., Redwood City. For tickets visit redwoodsymphony.org
I think that the show would be appropriate for children at least 10 and up, though more adventurous parents might bring their 8year-old to it. Sweeney Todd is far more than blood, however. Even among Sondheims excellent shows, Kujawsky explains, it stands out because of its shattering emotional impact. This is a real thriller, with several shocking surprises. And its also funny, and far less dire than you might think. Kujawsky explains: While the plot is certainly gruesome, Sondheim takes precautions to distance the audience from the subject matter by injecting some very black humor, and by the use of a Greek Chorus which breaks down the fourth wall to address the audience. At this point, some readers might grumble that they saw the Tim Burton movie, with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, and didnt like it. Dont let that stop you. Ive seen Sweeney Todd staged live before, and Ive also seen the televised concert performance with George Hearn and Angela Lansbury. The

stage show is very different, gleefully delightful where the movie is dour. The movie eschewed the musicals black comedy, Kujawsky said. Helena Bonham Carter wasnt funny at all, and that reduced the show to a series of grisly, too-explicit scenes of violence. I am a huge Tim Burton fan, but in this case I feel he completely misunderstood what makes Sweeney Todd work. Our production gets it right. The Redwood Symphony has performed operatic musical theater in concert before, including Gilbert and Sullivans The Mikado and Leonard Bernsteins Candide. Those both also deal with grisly topics wars and executions in a comic manner. If you saw those, expect a similar production here. The orchestra will be on stage with the singers, so movement will be limited, but Kujawsky promises a fully costumed and acted-out show, with props (including the trick barber chair) and plenty of action and blood! Walter Mayes plays the title role, with Cami Thompson as his co-conspirator, piebaker Mrs. Lovett. Both have performed these roles before, Kujawsky said, as have some of our chorus members. On balance, I think this is one of the strongest casts for this show that Ive seen. Cami, in particular, will have the audience rolling in the aisles; shes a perfect Mrs. Lovett, and Mrs. Lovett is the key to whether the show works, because she brings most of the comedic element. Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street performs at 8 p.m., Saturday, June 1, and 2 p.m., Sunday, June 2, at the Caada College Main Theatre, Redwood City. Pre-concert talks one hour beforehand. Tickets ($20, $10 for students) are available through the website at www.redwoodsymphony.org, and for $25 at the door.

Much to savor in Sweet Charity

By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

The title character in Sweet Charity is Charity Hope Valentine, a hopeful yet hapless dance hall hostess whos just looking for love. As played by Molly Bell for Center REPertory Company in Walnut Creek, shes lovable and irrepressible. Shes also a terric singer, dancer and actress as Charity nds herself in some unusual situations. Director Timothy Near has surrounded her with a cast of triplethreat performers who deliver songs by composer Cy Coleman and lyricist Dorothy Fields with high energy and precision dancing, thanks to choreographer Jennifer Perry. Much of Perrys choreography reects the inuence of the late Bob Fosse, who conceived, staged and choreographed the original 1966 Broadway production starring Gwen Verdon. He also directed and choreographed the 1969 film starring Shirley MacLaine. This stage production is more satisfying than the lm in part because Bell has an air of naivete thats more suited for the title role and in part because the nal scenes are clearer about the motivation of Charitys latest boyfriend, Oscar (Keith Pinto). Moreover, the lm feels bloated at times, whereas everything in this stage production stems logically from the characters and Neil Simons book. The rst act introduces Charity as a sunny but overly generous young woman who is literally dumped by a boyfriend. Next comes the memorable Big Spender, performed by Charitys jaded dance hall colleagues, including her two best friends, Helene (Brittany Danielle and Nickie (Alison Ewing). The entire company is featured in production numbers like Rich Mans Frug and The Rhythm of Life, the latter featuring James Monroe Iglehart as religious leader Daddy Brubeck.

James Monroe Iglehart and the cast of Sweet Charity.

Some of Bells more memorable moments come in If My Friends Could See Me Now and Where Am I Going. Bell, Danielle and Ewing team up for the emphatic Theres Gotta Be Something Better Than This. Other featured performers are Colin Thomson as Herman, the dance hall boss, and Noel Anthony as Vittorio, an Italian movie star. Complemented by Kurt Landismans lighting, Annie Smarts set design helps to keep the action flowing smoothly. Christine Crook designed the eye-catching costumes. All elements of this show add up to a thoroughly entertaining evening thats well worth the trip to Walnut Creek. Sweet Charity continues at the Lesher Center for the Arts, 1601 Civic Drive, Walnut Creek, through June 22. For tickets and information call (925) 943-7469 or visit www.CenterREP.org.

and moving ahead with the county office administration in a positive, collaborative manner, said Viviani. A tentative agreement was reached Tuesday then ratied by the San Mateo County Educators Association members Wednesday. The agreement covers 124 teachers and support staff. Under the agreement, teachers and staff will receive a 2 percent retroactive salary increase starting July 1, 2012 and a 2 percent retroactive increase to Jan. 1, 2013, a 3 percent increase in the 201314 school year and a 2 percent increase in 2014-15. There will be an increase in health and welfare benets to $750 per month, which will provide coverage for a single employee and $50 monthly increases in the subsequent two years. Employees will also see an increase in the employer contribution for retiree health benets at the rate of $750 per month for two years to a limited number of retirees that meet the criteria. Employees agreed to increase class

sizes by one student in special education classes on integrated sites. They will also accept a change in pay for the extended school year, to an hourly rate, and be promised consistent work hours and days for all bargaining unit members. The San Mateo County Office of Education oversees court and community schools while also serving many students with special needs. Teachers, who work in the countys community schools and with special needs students, say they have not gotten a raise in more than ve years while costs of health benefits have encroached on receive favorable tax treatment. During the oor debate, Wieckowski held up a fabric grocery bag he said he was given at a free event in his community. He questioned whether such handouts might be included in some hospitals tally of the community benets they provide. When a hospital in my district says they provide millions of dollars in community benet, thats great. I want them to brag about it ... but I think the public should be able to trust the number theyre given, he said. How much of the millions of dollars that are being spent are going to bags or vaccinations or community clinics? Republicans opposed the bill, saying it could reduce access to charitable signature ower. The parade, traditionally for youngsters 14 and below, has achieved both state and national fame for San Bruno. There will also be the annual Posy Parade baseball games at Tom Lara Field. The Parkside versus St. Roberts game begins at 2 p.m. A free hot dog lunch will be provided by the San Bruno Lions for all parade participants. Hot dogs will also be for sale. The parade begins at Posy Park on San Mateo Avenue at Kains Avenue and

their pay. Teachers are currently working without a contract, which expired June 30. Community schools provide educational opportunities for students outside of traditional schools. The average annual salary for teachers working for the county Ofce of Education during the 2011-12 school year was $79,961, according to the California Department of Education. The lowest salary offered is $37,304 and the highest is $89,124. Contract negotiations got worse before they got better. Talks between the two sides started last year. Impasse was declared in January. In March, 97 percent of teachers in the chapter approved a strike if necessary. When impasse was declared, the Ofce of Education was offering a 1 percent, non-retroactive raise while the employees were asking for a 9 percent salary boost and full family health coverage, according to teachers. In addition to the 1 percent proposal, teachers claimed the district was seeking to decrease pay for work during an extended school year.

He called the legislation farreaching, unnecessary and more about a power grab by the nurses union than an effort to improve health care for the poor.

Unless you carefully evaluate the strength of your adversities, you could lose out. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Its extremely important that you maintain a realistic but positive attitude concerning your work. If you inflate the difficulty of your job, all initiative will desert you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your survival today depends on how well you can function independently of others. Dont operate under the

illusion that co-workers are looking out for anyone other than themselves. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It would be wise to support your mate in public, even if you secretly disagree with his or her position. Its a good strategy to show a united front. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Instead of trying to impose your thinking on your co-workers today, first listen to their ideas and/or what they have to say. They might have some suggestions that are far superior to yours. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Since finances are likely to be a touchy issue, instead of getting involved in a joint endeavor where another controls what you invest, try to handle all of your funds yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) If youre in a

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you attempt to appease associates rather than follow the dictates of your judgment, many of your efforts could turn out to be counterproductive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Your spending habits are likely to be influenced by the company you keep. If youre with high rollers, chances are that youll be more extravagant than usual. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Be careful, because you follow an inclination to test your will against a

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF Richard M. Hill Case Number: 123318 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Richard M. Hill. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Julia E. Hill. in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Julia E. Hill be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests that the decedents will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to adminster the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: June 14, 2013 at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo, 400 County Center, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: Susan Howie Burriss Burriss Law Firm, P.C. 201 San Antonio Circle, Ste. 160 MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA 94040 (650)948-7127 Dated: May 3, 2013 Published in the San Mateo Daily Journal on May 17, 24, 31, 2013.

Syrias Assad confident in victoryin civil war

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT Syrian President Bashar Assad said in an interview broadcast Thursday that he is condent in victory in his countrys civil war, and he warned that Damascus would retaliate for any future Israeli airstrike on his territory. Assad also told the Lebanese TV station Al-Manar that Russia has fullled some of its weapons contracts recently, but he was vague on whether this included advanced S300 air defense systems. The comments were in line with a forceful

and confident message the regime has been sending in recent days, even as the international community attempts to launch a peace conference in Geneva, possibly next month. The strong tone coincided with recent Bashar Assad military victories in battles with armed rebels trying to topple him. The interview was broadcast as Syrias main political opposition group appeared Fellers said the proposal was a way to raise the bar for the countys arts by providing a paid cultural liaison, developing a countywide public arts master plan and apply for grants on behalf of San Mateo County. But Maltbie said the while the arts as a whole is worthwhile, the county should not give the PAC tax dollars for a decade to essentially duplicate the work being done by the County Arts Commission. Fellers said while the two operate in the same space, they do different things. The council acts as a contact for those interested in becoming involved in the arts, selling their art or other inquires and also holds events, Fellers said. The commission receives county funding and curates three art galleries at the county government center, manages grants and awards money for arts programs to schools, artists and arts organization. Maltbies report said PAC would be welcome to bid on commission contracts but Fellers said the councils proposal was a way to ll a gap, not duplicate efforts. I dont feel San Mateo County really understands the potential of the arts. This would be an investment, not just a draw on funds, she said.

to fall into growing disarray. The international community had hoped the two sides would start talks on a political transition. However, the opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, said earlier Thursday that it would not attend a conference, linking the decision to a regime offensive on the western Syrian town of Qusair and claiming that hundreds of wounded people were trapped there. Assad, who appeared animated and gestured frequently in the TV interview, said he has been condent from the start of the conict more than two years ago that he would A $2 million request for libraries in East Palo Alto, North Fair Oaks, Pacica and Half Moon Bay received a warmer reaction. The one-time cash infusion of Measure A money will help those communities meet the needs of current and future customers, Maltbie wrote in his proposal. Even if the Board of Supervisors signs off on the idea, the cities or local libraries must agree to match the funds. For every dollar the cities pony up, they can received $3 in Measure A money up to $500,000. The Measure A funds will only go to specific projects and the money must be matched or committed by June 30, 2014 or risk redistribution to the other cities. The 7,680-square-foot East Palo Alto Library on University Avenue is heavily used and needs signicant interior improvements like paint, shelving and updated space for public computers. The demand for services and meeting space exceeds the current capacity of the North Fair Oaks Library on Middlefield Road and its adjacent community center, according to Maltbie, who added that the library, the county and Redwood City need to jointly plan how to meet the future needs. Pacica residents have voiced ongoing

be able to defeat his opponents. Regarding my condence about victory, had we not had this condence, we wouldnt have been able to ght in this battle for two years, facing an international attack, he said.
