San Carlos considers fire truck options

By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The city of San Carlos should pay Redwood City $100,000 for a year of truck service as part of its hybrid fire agreement while considering buying its own new or used equipment, according to city ofcials. Ensuring the new department is ready to go at the Oct. 13 start date is the highest priority which is why contracting with Redwood City is a better option than purchasing equipment and training reghters on its use, said San Carlos Assistant City
Manager Brian Moura, who is overseeing the re service process. The work to do so looks daunting with the short window before October, said Moura. Instead, not purchasing equipment buys the city time to nd the best option at the best price, he said. The choice of truck service plays a role in the annual cost of the new San Carlos Fire Department. Aside from contracting out truck service, like the city of Millbrae does with San Bruno, or buying its own truck or quint, San Carlos could theoretically also establish mutual aid
agreements with neighboring cities. Doing so has no cost but was not offered by any of the cities who submitted service bids, including Redwood City. Instead, Redwood City initially proposed in January an annual $719,000 for truck service. While developing the hybrid model, the cost was revised to $250,000 to $500,000 per year dependent upon use. The latest proposal includes San Carlos paying for a portion of replacing the ladder truck in use in

Dems push for local tax vote control

GOP officials attack Steinberg bill
By Lien Hoang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Now that Republican lawmakers have voted against a renewal of expiring tax hikes, Democrats are turning to another, more complex way to generate revenue. A bill proposed by state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg and narrowly approved last week would dramatically expand the taxing powers of local governments, school boards and other jurisdictions. But the bill, SB23-1X, would lead
to such a complicated latticework of taxes that opponents say Steinberg is merely pulling a stunt to ramp up pressure against Republican lawmakers. Darrell The SacraSteinberg mento Democrat said his legislation would give public schools and law enforcement

Comcasts $4.4B Olympian bid a bold online bet
LOS ANGELES NBC lost more than $200 million the last time it showed the Winter Olympics, and its bracing for similar losses in London next year. So, plenty of people scoffed when the network bid $4.4 billion nearly a billion more than runner-up Fox for the U.S. rights to carry the four games through 2020. Yet the price may prove right. The growth of Internet video and opportunities under NBCs new owner, Comcast Corp., should help cut losses significantly and perhaps make the Olympics protable after the London Games. Theres also an intangible promotional benet to NBC. Consider this: Even at a loss, the Olympics generate huge audiences. About 185 million people saw some of the Olympics in Vancouver last year. The struggling broadcaster can promote new shows to those viewers as it tries to dig out of fourth place. NBC didnt pay all that much for the Olympics, considering that TV rights fees for other major sports such as Pac12 college basketball have been doubling or tripling. For the 2014 and 2016 games, its paying about the same as it has been. For the nal two games in the deal, NBC is paying just 19 percent more. Morgan Stanley analyst Benjamin Swinburne called NBCs deal an Olympic win at the right price. He said NBC should be able to cut its Olympic losses in half after London, as long as viewership doesnt change and advertising rates keep improving. Beyond that, NBC can create more ad opportunities by tapping sports channels added to the NBCUniversal family when Comcast took control in January. One is the Golf Channel convenient for Comcast as golf joins the Olympics in 2016. Another is Versus, which Comcast is positioning as a competitor to ESPN, another Olympic bidder. NBCUniversal will have about 20 channels and more than 40 websites to cover the games. By contrast, it used ve channels and one website in 2010, when it was controlled by General Electric Co. The Olympics coverage can also help Comcast get higher fees from other cable TV companies such as Time Warner Cable Inc. to carry those channels in their lineups. It does not take too much to move it across the nish line in terms of getting more in the black, said Matthew Harrigan, an analyst with Wunderlich Securities. NBC should also benet from sponsorship packages developed by the U.S. Olympic Committee two years ago when the advertising market looked grim. One such package creates a direct connection between the USOC, NBC and the sponsors in this case, Citigroup, TD Ameritrade and a homeimprovement company that still hasnt been determined. As part of the deal, the sponsors are committed to buying ads on NBC, giving the network a head start in selling commercials. Because NBC will get rights for at least nine more years, the USOC will be in a better position to make such longterm ad deals, USOC marketing chief Lisa Baird said. One unknown is how fast Comcast can increase revenue from online viewing. For the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing, NBC ran an unprecedented 2,200 hours of coverage over the Internet. For some fans it still wasnt enough. The network was pilloried, for instance, for waiting more than half a day to televise the mens 100-meter nal so it could show Usain Bolts recordbreaking run in prime time. Starting with the 2014 games in Sochi, Russia, NBC plans to carry every single event live in some format or another. It will repackage the best events for U.S. television audiences when evening arrives. Mark Lazarus, chairman of NBC Sports Group, told reporters last week that technology is changing so rapidly that the deal gives NBC the ability to exploit the games on every platform now known or to be known or still to be conceived.

Sneath Dairy in San Bruno

n 1875, Richard George Sneath (#1), was born in Maryland and migrated to California by way of the Isthmus. After making his fortune around the mines in red Bluff, Calif., Sneath purchased the land located west of El Camino Real, north of what is now called Sneath Lane in San Bruno, and the Brentwood Addition in South San Francisco. The property ran to west of Skyline Boulevard area (Sweeney Ridge) and north to Westborough Boulevard in South San Francisco. Eventually, had he had more than 2,000 acres under his control. Many rows of eucalyptus trees still mark the boundary of his property in these areas. In 1878, George Sneath had a dairy operating from the main buildings about 1,500 yards west of El Camino Real facing Sneath Road (across from 1001 Sneath Lane). At present, the Golden Gate Cemetery has its maintenance yard in the area where the farmhouse stood. Across the road, to the south, lived Maria Tanforan and her large family. East of the Tanforans on 30 acres lived the Silva family and they had a horse ranch. Custodial Silva bought this land in 1871. The Crossroads Apartment complex is now being built on this property. The dairy complex, where the Golden Gate Cemetery is now, was designated Jersey Dairy #1; to the west of Skyline Boulevard was

aged the dairy business at the ranch in San Bruno. Richard George, became vice president of the Peninsula Ice Company in San Mateo (1928?), and he married Nancy Fyfe and had two children; son George (born 1919), and daughter Polly (born 1925). Richard Sneath (#1) organized the Consumers Ice Company of San Francisco and, in July 1890, was made president of the company. The Sneath Jersey Dairy was very successful in the 1800s, but as time went on, more dairies were formed on the Peninsula. The competition was intense and eventually most of the dairies joined together to succeed. The merged dairies became known as the Dairy Delivery in 1906 the largest dairy on the Peninsula. In 1925, the Millbrae Dairy sold its distributing business in San Francisco to the Dairy Delivery Company. Its headquarters were on McAllister Street in San Francisco. In 1927, Dairy Dale Company was formed on a combination of Riverdale and Dairy Delivery and a purchaser of the San Francisco Dairy. In 1929, Borden took over Dairy Dale and, in 1938, the Millbrae Dairy of the Mills Estate was combined into the San Francisco group. In 1929, a number of acres of flat land, nestled in the hills west of Jersey Dairy #2 were sold to San Francisco County and a jail was built on the property. It was during the 1920s that the Sneath land began being leased to numerous people for the purpose of growing vegetables and flowers and small dairy operations. Water was impounded by an earth dam where College Drive now flows in Pacific Heights. The lake that formed, however, was drained in the 1950s.
THE DAILY JOURNAL

In 1939, 180 acres of flat land along Sneath Lane and El Camino Real was sold to the U.S. government for the development of the Golden Gate National Cemetery. Just prior to this, the Junipero Serra Highway (Highway 101) was extended from Hickey Boulevard to Sneath Lane, which became the connecting link to El Camino Real. By the mid-1950s, the Rollingwood Addition was purchased for housing by A. Oddstead. Monte Verde Addition was developed and Pacific Heights housing was begun in 1957. Portola Highlands was begun in the early 1960s. Skyline College was built in 1969, and the L.D.S. Church on Sharp Park Road opened in 1969.

Who Are private HEROES ? How Firefighters Set Example

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Firefighters are public HEROES! In the way that members of our Military travel to foreign war zones and risks their own lives in the name of preventing terrorism and in the way our Police Officers enter a sketchy part of town to apprehend suspects whove harmed others and may do more harm the same goes for our Firefighters who are trained to enter potentially explosive situations to prevent the spread of fires and rescue those caught in hazardous peril. These public HEROES touch our lives on a daily basis, most times without our knowledge. Our general safety and well-being can be attributed to the day to day actions of our public HEROES. With the recent joint-funeral for the two San Francisco Firefighters who died in the line of duty it is important to acknowledge their lives and say thank you. These public HEROES had a natural inclination to help others above their own selves. Their efforts to serve the public were of great value, and that value is to be remembered and admired. Just like we learn from the funerals of our public HEROES, we can learn from the funerals of those who have touched our personal lives our private HEROES. Family, friends, local acquaintances and even those we know of but dont know personally have the ability to affect us in ways we may not be consciously aware. We ourselves also have the potential to affect the lives of others in ways were not aware. A single act of kindness; the opening of a door; a caring gesture; a supportive word; an offer to help; volunteering in a service club; etc. all set examples for others to emulate and absorb as a part of their own life-experience. Both public HEROES and private HEROES enrich our lives and help us as individuals to be little bit better. When ever we attend a funeral (the deceased being present) or memorial (the deceased not being present) we always learn about how the deceased affected the lives of others. Also, our attendance not only shows the family that we care, but in a positive way can affect the familys healing process. To us what may seem a small caring gesture may be an enormous life moment to the person we are affecting. We never know how we affect the lives of others but its a fact that we do so every day. These kind acts, unconscious and conscious, along with other small acts potentially make us each a private HERO in the eyes of those weve affected. It doesnt matter how minor youve touched somebodys life it matters that they were able to take something away and enrich their own life with your kind act. Just like public HEROES whose actions affect our daily well-being, private HEROES have the power to positively affect the lives of their family, friends, and those they interact with on a daily basis. When our work on earth is done and our lives conclude we each can be remembered as a private HERO for the way we touched the lives of those weve left behind. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.

of conveyor belts. That worker participated in the VRS recycling program in its rst incarnation at the previous center ran by Browning Ferris Industries. Allied Waste dropped the program in 2007 prior to the South Bay Waste Management Authority, now ReThinkWaste, picking South Bay as the new operator and breaking ground on the high-tech Shoreway Environmental Center. VRS, which also places clients in other programs like food service, packaging and even technology, was deal another small hit, too, when the county-operated cafe at the Hall of Justice closed. Both left VRS without those options for its clients and the challenge was compounded with state budget cuts and escalating need that added to the countys requests for general assistance. The costs have grown by $818,000, all borne by the county, and VRS programs transition many of the recipients into lives of employment, said Amanda Kim, spokeswoman for the Human Services Agency. But in April, the Shoreway Center opened and with it came a resurrected three-year sorting program. The Board of Supervisors in late May approved the contract with SBR. Im extremely impressed with what theyve done. The guys are energetic and interested and work really hard, Langer said. Working hard is practically a requirement. Its not rocket science, conceded Donald Evans, 48. Maybe, but that doesnt mean its easy. The center receives approximately 150 tons of goods a day from residential and commercial customers who are now able to place their recyclables together. As the items are dumped from trucks, they begin a long journey to weed out the recyclable from the non-recyclable, the plastic bags from the newspaper and the items too large to t through the machinery without a possible jam. Each worker is trained for roughly three weeks on what is allowed and how best to sort before they hit the line. Cardboard is thrown in marked metal bins on one side, non-recyclable goods like cleats and irons are tossed into garbage cans. Their hands y as though the work is secondnature, as the machine hums loudly and a slightly sweet scent hangs in the air. The remnants of sodas and beer in cans and bottles, perhaps. Then there is the motion sickness. Everybody gets a little seasick, laughed Evans, which surprised the former Burlingame cafe owner since hes no stranger to boats. Evans said he married the wrong girl, drank a little too much and needed to get his head back on straight. VRS provides that sense of purpose, he said. It helped me get of a dark place, he said. Sorting is a good t because he has good eyes and is up to the physical challenge. He also hopes for a job with SBR after the VRS term ends.

conditions, incarceration, transferable skills or a lack of work history. Fred Chapman, 54, chalks up his 12-year employment gap to prison and a boatload of whiskey. But Chapman, who lauds SBR as leading the way toward a world without any landlls, is happy to be back among the employed. A former blacksmith, Chapman said he feels pride to wake up and have a place to go. The best part? Not being on welfare, he said. Workers like Chapman arrive at work around 6:30 a.m. to prepare for the 7 a.m. start and stay until 3 p.m. They make minimum wage but are eligible for a bonus after successfully completing a year, said VRS Manager Carmen OKeefe. Receiving those checks and managing the money is part of the other skills clients learn. The VRS program at South Bay runs 18 months and Chapman, like several of the others, is keeping his ngers crossed that it will end with an offer of regular employment. There are no promises, Chapman and the others say, but there is at least one living example a former VRS client who now holds a union job operating a fork lift on the other side of the center to initially sort out large and unrecyclable items from among the piles before they start up the maze
Worker camaraderie and developing skills

Evans, a self-subscribed people person, appreciates the camaraderie of his fellow workers and supervisors. Everybody looks out for one another and the supervisors and job coaches through SBR and VRS help with other possible challenges that might come up like punctuality, he said. These soft skills, as they are known, are as important to success as learning how to sort plastics or keep the conveyor moving, said SMCWorks Director John Joy. They include readying resumes and prepping for interviews, learning how to work with others and follow direction. Clients begin working on those at the work center and when ready are offered the chance to apply to off-site programs, like the recycling program. What were really looking at is getting people into this operation so that they have a regular day-to-day job and build the condence to continue once they nish, Joy said. The transition is also good for the greater community, Joy said, because the clients move from tax
Win-win-win
The agreement is a win-win-win, said SBR General Manager David Langer, who was involved with the previous VRS recycling program eight years ago.
drain to tax payer. There have been a few women whove worked in recycling they actually make the fastest and most accurate sorters, said Supervisor Art Martinez but all have since moved on to other vocations. Of the current crew, supervisor Neil Singh estimates at least 75 percent will succeed. Singh said he also works as a job coach for the men and sees more enthusiasm in them then he ever did in previous workplaces. They are all so appreciative, he said. Singh, too, said he had to get used to the labor-intensive work, the noise and of course the motion sickness. But just as the job gives the VRS clients a focus, he said working with and guiding them offers himself a feeling of success. It also helped him drop a few pounds, he joked, and showed him that people will try recycling just about anything and he does mean anything. A La-Z-Boy recliner once. Fax machines and scanners. Plastic bags way too much; they choke up the system and end up in the landll anyway, he said. Singhs not the only one with a new set of recycling know-how. Chapman said hes certainly more aware of his personal garbage and packaging.. So how does it inuence his recycling at home? It doesnt, he laughs. I just bring it here. And for the VRS clients working at SBR, here is a pretty great place to be.

Mexican president speaks at Stanford

PALO ALTO Thousands of people turned out to hear Mexican President Felipe Calderon speak at Stanford Universitys 120th commencement on Sunday. In noting that this years graduates came from 44 countries, during his 18-minute speech, Calderon spoke of the need to create a global economy, while still preserving the environment. It is possible to promote eco-
nomic growth and, at the same time, preserve nature, he told the crowd. It is possible to ght poverty and fight climate change simultaFelipe Calderon neously. Stanford ofcials estimated 25,000 to 30,000 people attended the commencement exercise, which was held at the uni-
versitys remodeled football stadium. At the conclusion of his address, Calderon received a standing ovation. During the commencement, 4,941 students received diplomas for bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees, university ofcials said. Calderon stayed away from speaking about immigration issues during his speech, but he did address the issue during an earlier appearance at San Joses Center for Employment and Training.
He told a crowd of more than 600 people Saturday that walls or what he called abusive laws would not stop people from migrating to the U.S. In nominating Calderon to be the speaker at Stanford, student leaders said they wanted to send a message about the need for leadership in international cooperation and social justice. Stanford President John Hennessey had previously praised Calderon for his work on issues such as immigration reform, arms
control and ghting drug cartels. Calderon was elected to a sixyear term as Mexicos president in 2006. Hes the third president of a county to speak at a Stanford commencement. President Alejandro Toledo of Peru gave a commencement speech at the university in 2003, while U.S. President Herbert Hoover spoke at commencement exercises in 1925 and 1935, according to Stanford spokesman Dan Stober.
2012 troubles ahead for Obama in Florida?

By Brendan Farrington
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. President Barack Obama has problems in Florida that he didnt have when he won the prized state in 2008. The states economy is worse than elsewhere. Foreclosures are high. Property values are low. As president, Obama could be blamed. Voters shifting attitudes show the degree to which the atmosphere has changed since his rst campaign. Florida Democrats made gains in 2008 with Obama on the top of the ticket, but the GOP won big two years later. All that explains why Florida Democrats are redoubling their efforts to re-energize the rank and le, including at the state partys Jefferson-Jackson dinner Saturday night. And its why Obamas campaign team has been on the ground training volunteers 17 months before the elec-
tion and why the president has been such a frequent visitor to the Sunshine State. Over the past 10 months, he has played miniBarack Obama golf and hit the waves in Panama City Beach, eaten a corned beef sandwich at a Miami Beach deli, visited Cape Canaveral, addressed community college graduates in Miami and headlined fundraisers for Florida politicians. Hes set to return in the coming week for three fundraisers. Florida offers 29 electoral votes, more than 10 percent of the 270 he needs to win a second term. The president can win the White House re-election without Florida, but its certainly easier if he does win Florida, said Steve Schale, Obamas Florida director in 2008.
On Saturday, more than 1,000 Democratic activists attended the state party fundraiser and rallied in support of Obama. In order to stop their extreme agenda, each and every one of us must give it all weve got. Tell your friends and neighbors about our priorities versus theirs, about our values versus their values. Work tirelessly every single day to re-elect one of our most courageous leaders in our nations history, President Barack Obama, said Democratic National Committee Chairwoman and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was speaking in her congressional district. The future of our nation and our state are depending on us, so lets go make history once again. Floridas unemployment rate was 10.8 percent in April, or nearly 2 percentage points higher than the national average. The state has been hit harder by foreclosures and loss in property values than most of the country.
Palin emails show engaged leader who sought VP nod

By Becky Bohrer
JUNEAU, Alaska There are no bombshells, no gotcha moments. The emails of Sarah Palin more than 24,000 pages of them released Friday by the state of Alaska from her rst two years as governor paint a picture of an image-conscious, driven leader, closely involved with the dayto-day duties of running the state and riding herd on the signature issues of her administration. She angled for a vice presidential nomination months before John McCain picked her, but hesitated to endorse him until she got an explanation about pro-environmental stands hes taking that could hurt Alaska. The messages give a behind-thescenes look at a politician who burst onto the national stage after serving as Wasilla mayor and less than two years as Alaska governor. They show
a woman striving to balance work and home, ercely protective of her family and highly sensitive to media coverage. She expressed a sometimes mothSarah Palin ering side with aides but was quick to demand answers or accountability. They seem to depict a more moderate Palin who worked to nd a state response to global warming she has since dismissed studies supporting climate change and gave props to then-Sen. Barack Obama for his support of a natural gas pipeline in Alaska. The records, comprising more than 13,400 emails, shed new light on Palins rise from little-known governor to national political sensation.

First photos of Giffords released since shooting

HOUSTON Images of a smiling Rep. Gabrielle Giffords were posted Sunday on her Facebook page, two photos that show her with shorter, darker hair but few signs that she suffered a gunshot wound to the head. The photos were taken May 17 outside the Houston rehabilitation facility where Giffords has been undergoing treatment since she was wounded ve months ago at a meetand-greet event with constituents. Six people died and a dozen others were hurt in the Jan. 8 attack in Tucson, Ariz.
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords smiles at TIRR Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, the day after the launch of Endeavour. She posted this photo on Facebook page Sunday.
Since then, access to the Arizona congresswoman has been tightly controlled. Until Sunday, no clear images had been released. The only recent sign of Giffords came in late April, when grainy television footage showed her slowly ascending a ight of steps to a NASA plane that took her to Florida to watch her astronaut husband rocket into space. The image was so blurry that it was impossible to conrm it was Giffords until doctors did so at a news conference in mid-May. Giffords spokesman C.J. Karamargin said staff members released the photos Sunday to help satisfy intense interest in the con-
gresswomans appearance. The timing coincides with plans to release Giffords from the hospital later this month or in early July. Her staff hopes the images will help curb unwanted photography when she begins visiting an outpatient clinic in a more public setting. What we wanted to avoid was a paparazzi-like frenzy, Karamargin said. The professionally shot pictures were taken before Giffords underwent surgery to replace a piece of her skull that had been removed shortly after the shooting to allow her brain to swell. The images suggest the congresswoman is returning to her for-
mer appearance though she still looks slightly different than before. But the photos give little indication of Giffords cognitive abilities what, for example, her speech is like after being shot in the left side of the head, which controls communication. The images also provide no hints as to when, or if, she will be able to resume her job. Theres nothing that unique about the outer presentation, said Jordan Grafman, director of the Traumatic Brain Injury Research Laboratory at the Kessler Foundation Research Center in West Orange, N.J., explaining that many brain injury patients look good within months of being hurt.
Sexting Wiener wants to Dozens jockey for coveted Anthony trial seats take leave from House
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Under erce pressure from fellow Democrats to resign in a sexting scandal, Rep. Anthony Weiner announced Saturday he was entering professional treatment at an undisclosed location and requested a leave of absence from Congress. An aide for the embattled New York lawmaker made the disclosure in a statement shortly after several Democratic party leaders demanded he quit for exchanging messages and photos ranging from sexually suggestive to explicit with several women online. This sordid affair has become an
unacceptable distraction for Representative Weiner, his family, his constituents and the House, Rep. D e b b i e Wa s s e r m a n the Anthony Weiner Schultz, party chairwoman, said in a written statement calling for the 46-year-old married lawmaker to step down. The House Democratic leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, said Weiner has the love of his family, the condence of his constituents and the recognition that he needs help.
ORLANDO, Fla. Spectators trying to get one of the 60 courtroom seats available to the public in the Casey Anthony trial have created scenes reminiscent of the running of the bulls in Spain or a Walmart on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Those who have arrived as early as 1 a.m. to wait for a seat in the trial of the Florida mother charged with killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee have been jostled, elbowed and pushed aside by fellow spectators while running from the sidewalk to the Orange County Courthouse entrance before dawn. They arent allowed to camp out on courthouse property, so they hang out on the sidewalk in front of the 23-story building until they are
allowed to line up at the entrance at 5:30 a.m. It is a mad stampede of angry people, said Natalie Sutton, 22, a Disney Casey Anthony Walt World worker who skipped sleep and arrived at 3:15 a.m. Friday to line up for a coveted seat. People then wait until less than an hour before the daily hearing starts at 9 a.m., when the rst 60 are given white tickets allowing them to sit in the courtroom all day. Those who dont return after lunch are replaced by afternoon spectators who wait in line during the morning beside a
stanchion outside. The dash from the sidewalk and the ensuing wait is not always orderly. The horde became even more intense than usual Friday, when a woman fell during the dash to the entrance and later had to be treated by paramedics. A few spectators tried to help her, but others raced past. It was like The Who in Cincinnati, said spectator Shawn Chaisson, referring to 11 fans who were crushed to death during a stampede at one of the rock bands concerts in 1979. It was totally out of control. The waiting crowd was then thrown into a tizzy after three women cut in front of dozens of others who had been waiting several hours longer.

NRC chief in hot seat over work to delay nuke site
WASHINGTON In the two years that Gregory Jaczko has led the nations independent nuclear agency, his actions to delay, hide and kill work on a disputed dump for highlevel radioactive waste have been called bizarre, unorthodox and illegal. These harsh critiques havent come just from politicians who have strong views in favor of the Yucca Mountain waste site in Nevada. Theyve come from the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions own scientists and a former agency chairman. An inspector generals report released last week exposed the internal strife under Jaczko. The internal watchdog said he intimidated staff members who disagreed with him and withheld information from members of the commission to gain their support.
Circus performer exits hospital after 20-foot fall

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. A Ringling Bros. Circus performer has been released from a hospital after falling 20 feet before a Colorado Springs crowd. Production manager for the Ringling Bros. circus Chantal Stringer tells the Colorado Springs Gazette the performer suffered minor hip and wrist bruises and will miss the remaining shows in Colorado Springs. The performer was carted out of the World Arena during an intermission at the circus Saturday. The performers name has not been released. Stinger says the performer was outside of a wheel that rotates on an axis preparing for an act when he plunged onto what circus-goer John Flores described as a thin piece of padding. No wheel act will be in Sundays performances. The cause of the fall is under investigation.
from a gigantic wildre in eastern Arizona is beginning to stretch as far east as central New Mexico, prompting health ofcials to warn residents as far away as Albuquerque about potential respiratory hazards. The 672-square-mile blaze was no longer just an Arizona problem on Saturday as reghters moved to counter spot res sprouting up across the state line and lighting their own res to beat it back. The forest re remained largely uncontained and ofcials worried that the return of gusty southwesterly winds during the afternoon could once again threaten small mountain communities that had been largely saved just a few days ago. Levels of tiny, sooty particles from the smoke in eastern Arizona were nearly 20 times the federal health standard on Saturday. The good news was that was down from roughly 40 times higher a day earlier, but it was all at the mercy of the ever-changing winds. Sunday could get even worse, said Mark Shaffer of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. Things got better but theyre still bad, Shaffer said Saturday.
NY contractor fraud case scandal a thorn for mayor

NEW YORK Mayor Michael Bloomberg landed his hard-fought third term in part by selling himself to voters as a savvy businessman and no-nonsense manager who could secure the citys nances in tough economic times. But with yet another city contractor accused of proting off a payroll technology kickbacks scheme on the mayors watch, and still more arrests in the pipeline, the steady drip, drip, drip of bad news on the scandal is chipping away at his public image, some analysts say. The project to computerize the timekeeping system for city employees started in 1998 and carried an estimated price tag of $63 million. In the years since Bloomberg took ofce in 2002, the timeframe has more than doubled and the cost has ballooned to more than $700 million a total that prosecutors now say includes at least $85 million in kickbacks and falsied billing.

Syrias army seizes back restive town

By Bassem Mroue
BEIRUT Elite Syrian troops backed by helicopters and tanks regained control Sunday of a town where police and soldiers joined forces with the protesters they were ordered to shoot a decisive assault from a government prepared for an all-out battle to keep power. Troops led by the presidents brother shelled Jisr al-Shughour as the gunships hovered overhead, paving the way for scores of tanks and armored personnel carriers to roll in from two directions. By early afternoon, the sounds of battle faded. The army was in control. Sundays developments, and actions by opponents of the Syrian government, marked a major departure from what had been a largely

peaceful protest movement. Among them: the discovery of a mass grave lled with uniformed bodies and the increasing willingness of mutineers and outgunned residents to ght back. President Basher Assads response in Jisr al-Shughour, the rst town to spin out of government control since the uprising began in mid-March, mirrored his fathers 1980 assault there. It was a clear message to anyone contemplating deance. Syrians who were among thousands to ee for the nearby Turkish border said about 60 mutineers were defending the town alongside some 200 unarmed residents. Their fate was unknown late Sunday, but the government reported three deaths in the ghting one of its own soldiers and two unidentied men whose bodies were shown to reporters.
The Syrian army is ghting itself, said Muhieddine Lathkani, a London-based Syrian writer and intellectual. The armys response was strong because they did not want the mutiny to become larger. Neighboring Turkey, about 12 miles (20 kilometers) away, has given sanctuary to more than 5,000 eeing Syrians, nearly all of them in the past few days from Idlib province. Turkeys prime minister has accused the Assad regime of savagery. Arab governments, which were unusually supportive of NATO intervention in Libya, have been silent in the face of Syrias crackdown, fearing that the alternative to Assad would be chaos. The country has an explosive sectarian mix and is seen as a regional powerhouse with inuence on events in neighboring Israel, Lebanon, Iraq.
NATO at the crossroads

By Jamey Keaten
THE JASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS Created as a bulwark against Soviet expansion, NATO is facing an identity crisis as its members grapple with just how much its long and often-unpopular mission in Afghanistan and its new air campaign in Libya size up as national interests or not when many countries budgets are under strain. In an unusually blunt parting speech Friday, outgoing U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates called on the Atlantic allies of the U.S. to pay and do more to overcome the
alliances military shortcomings raising the question: What is NATO today, and what does it need to be? The allies will be doing some soul-searching in the coming months, with Osama bin Laden dead, many European state coffers squeezed by high debt and slow economic growth, the U.S. drawdown in Afghanistan about to start and tough questions about how long its air campaign over Libya could last. The alliance has grappled with diverging internal views over whether NATO should be an instrument of hard combat missions generally the U.S. view or the
preference among some in Europe for soft power, like humanitarian, development, peacekeeping, and talking tasks, as Gates put it. Ever since the Berlin Wall fell, NATOs raison detre has been questioned. Now, with its hands in two military big campaigns in Afghanistan and Libya, the doubts about the alliances future have hit a new crescendo. Gates pointed to the real possibility of collective military irrelevance and called on members to look at new ways of raising combat capabilities in procurement, training, logistics and sustainment.

Libya rebels battle into key oil port near Tripoli

ZAWIYA, Libya Libyan rebels battled their way back into a major oil port just 30 miles (50 kilometers) west of Tripoli on Saturday, forcing Moammar Gadhas troops to close the vital coast highway and key supply route from Tunisia. The renewed rebel offensive marked a signicant
rebound for opposition forces who were crushed and driven out of the city nearly three months ago. Rebels rst took Zawiya in early March, but were brutally expelled less than two weeks later in an assault by members of an elite brigade commanded by Gadhas son Khamis. That had left rebels with only tenuous footholds in
Libyas far west. On Saturday, Guma el-Gamaty, a London-based spokesman for the rebels political leadership council, said opposition ghters had taken control of a large area on the western side of the city. A rebel ghter who ed Zawiya at the end of March said there are clashes inside Zawiya itself.
MOGADISHU, Somalia The killing of an al-Qaida mastermind who planned the devastating bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa drew praise on Sunday from Kenyans and Somalis, while Somalias president showed documents linking the dead man to militants who are trying to topple his nations fragile, U.N.-backed government. Fazul Abdullah Mohammed eluded capture for 13 years and topped the FBIs most wanted list for planning the Aug. 7, 1998, U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. His death, reported Saturday by Somali officials, was the third major blow to al-Qaida in six weeks. The worldwide terror group was headed by Osama bin Laden until his death last month. But Somali President Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed said Mohammed also posed a grave threat to Somalia, which has been ravaged by two decades of anar-
chy and conflict. Ahmed congratulated government soldiers for k i l l i n g Mohammed on Tuesday at a Mogadishu security checkFazul Abdullah point. Mohammed His aim was to commit violence in and outside the country, Ahmed said, showing reporters documents and pictures he said government troops recovered from Mohammed. Ahmed did not let reporters check the documents, but he held up photos he said were of Mohammeds family and operational maps for the militants in Mogadishu. Ahmed also held up a condolence letter he said Mohammed sent after bin Ladens death. He didnt say who it was addressed to, but said Mohammed coauthored the letter with a known Islamist leader in Somalia, Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys.

OPINION
Smart, wrote: If our cultural icons are awed, our political leadership is no more inspiring. The level of intelligence and integrity displayed by those we elect to ofce is generally unimpressive. In fact, it sometimes seems that our political system is designed to select those whose narcissism and hunger for power overwhelm their professed concerns for the welfare of their fellow citizens. Add what Peggy Noonan wrote for the Wall Street Journal four years later when Palin was running for vice president: The Palin candidacy is a symptom and expression of a new vulgarization in American politics. So Palin organizes a bus tour apparently to bestow her charms on the gullible, in well-chosen places, and what many think is preparation for running in the 2012 presidential race, and to feed her relentless quest for power. She knows that many Americans latch on to those who make the most noise and have a charisma that fascinates them like the celebrities who they worship in the media. Theres little concern about the persons intelligence, character and beliefs, or if they would be able to handle the job. Its unbelievable that so many people so easily fall under the spell of charismatic gures and how they so readily give in to those who are out to use them for their own purposes like to feed their narcissism, to become wealthy, or to bask in the celebrity of the presidential candidacy. The followers glom on to the message: Go along with me and Ill take you to Paradise. The rational mind is in limbo. Even people who seem to be quite intelligent in other ways went along with Bernie Madoff and his ilk. And think about Jim Jones and all of the people who swallowed his message (in more ways than one). As Michael Shermer wrote in The Believing Brain, Most social institutions most notably those in religion, politics, economics reward belief in the doctrine of the faith or party or ideology, punish those who challenge the authority of the leaders, and discourage uncertainty and especially skepticism. Thats why children should be taught very early preferably by example to be skeptical and very wary of someone who claims to have all of the answers, and promises things they could never deliver whether related to religion, politics or nance. Those who allow themselves to be taken in by such persuasive, dogmatic, egocentric types are a threat to the welfare of our nation. As our culture continues to produce and encourage people who easily fall under the spell of the celebrity or proselytizer, I get that creepy feeling that it is possible that Palin or some other seriously unqualied candidate could become president and hasten the unraveling of our country. Ive been hopeful that President Obama might be one of the few who could raise themselves above the ideas of the times and prevent disaster in 2012. The potential is there, but so far, politics being what it is, it doesnt look too promising. The ideas of the times are very hard to overcome.

That creepy feeling

very man is the creature of the age in which he lives; very few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of the times. Voltaire All of the publicity about the possible Republican candidates for the 2012 presidential election is an interesting study of political maneuvering. Everyone from Romney, to Bachmann, Pawlenty, Gingrich, and, of course, Palin, presents us with a revealing picture of the GOP. If more of us would only look! The trouble is, elections have become more and more a media circus. In todays culture, how many peoples choices on the ballot are determined by how much attention the candidate has mustered up in the media? How many people actually read newspapers or other rational publications to learn about those running for ofce? Or do they rely on something like their television impression of a candidate as maybe someone whos a good Christian like me, or who Id like to have a beer with, or friendly and condent though there may be little of actual substance there? (Think George W.) Consider political aspirants like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann. They both seem to believe that God has told them that they would make wonderful and capable presidents of the United States. They both seem to be quite distanced from reality. As far as Palin is concerned, you get the idea that she is oblivious to the rest of us and is not responsive to anyone but her own special deity that provides her permission to carry on as she pleases, always looking for the limelight, completely obsessed with herself. As David Brooks said on Meet the Press, May 30, Running for president isnt American Idol. In 2004, Gordon Livingston, MD, author of Too Soon Old, Too Late
Moving south
he Citizens Redistricting Commissions rst draft of new legislative and congressional districts shows a signicant shift to the south. San Mateo Countys population remains static while Santa Clara County grows and San Francisco declines. San Francisco is expected to lose a state Senate seat. Assemblyman Jerry Hill may be interested in San Mateos new state Senate seat which will comprise most of the county. Meanwhile Hills Assembly district will go as far as Atherton while Assemblyman Rich Gordons district may extend further into Santa Clara County leaving him just the southern tip of San Mateo County. His district, however, would move up on the coast into Half Moon Bay. U.S. Rep. Jackie Speiers congressional district will also move south putting most of U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoos district in Santa Clara County. You can nd out more at a League of Women Voters workshop Thursday, June 16 from 6 p.m.-8 p.m. at the Silicon Valley Conference Center, 1300 S. El Camino Real in San Mateo. You will also have a chance to express your opinion on the proposed new lines at the league meeting and at commission meetings in San Jose, June 2 and June 27 in San Francisco. Before voters passed Proposition 11 in 2008, incumbents were usually in charge of redistricting. Lines were drawn, following every 10-year census, to protect members of both parties. Today, that process is in the hands of a citizens commission. Statewide, many incumbents and would-be candidates could be at risk especially when an ofceholders home is no longer in the district he or she represents. The commission must meet the following criteria: equal population, compliance with the Voting Rights Act, contiguity, compactness and integrity of cities and communities of interest. As for the Board of Supervisors, it will not be immune from change as the population in the north declines. Overall, the change in boundaries may mean less representation for residents of San Mateo County at the state and federal level. *** Why newspapers are still vital: As more people, especially younger ones, get their news online or via mobile devices, what is the future of old-fashioned news printed on paper? The good news is that the New York Times will still be around, both online and on paper. The bad news is that it will be one of the few mega dailies still standing. San Mateo native Bill Keller has just stepped down as the New York Times executive editor but he will continue writing for the paper. A couple of years ago everybody was wringing their hands about doomsday for the news business, Mr. Keller said in his farewell to staff. People talked, some of them rather smugly, about even the New York Times not being long for this world. And now you look around, and we are economically sturdy. We are rich in talent. We are growing. Thats in part to a new online business strategy and the affection that the publisher, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., has for the family business. While there have been cutbacks, preserving the culture of The Times is something the publisher cares about and is willing to put his money where his mouth is. Not so with many of the other chain-owned dailies or those acquired through corporate mergers. The other success stories are local dailies such as the Daily Journal. This paper has just won 15 press club awards, more than any other paper in the Bay Area, and is respected for being reliable (versus sensational) and thorough. Unlike some of the competition, it has an experienced staff in Jon Mays, Bill Silverfarb, Michelle Durand, Heather Murtagh and Nathan Mollat (each received one or more press awards) who know and understand the community. It does not suffer the turnover as some of the other free dailies because publisher Jerry Lee and editor Mays (whose grandmother was in the newspaper business) treat their employees well and forsake bigger prots to keep salaries fair. Newspapers are important as an in-depth source of current information on which the web and bloggers depend. Without these daily papers, you would have a hard time nding accurate and timely news online. *** Student newspapers also play an important role. They prepare young reporters for college and careers by providing hands-on lessons in writing, communicating accurately and meeting deadlines. Students who work on their school paper usually do better on essay portions of exams. They have learned how to organize their thoughts and put them on paper quickly. So it is sad that high school newspapers are having the same problems as commercial ones. Lack of adequate funding to do the job. And often regulated to a very low priority of electives. Sequoia High School in Redwood City enjoys an excellent student paper, The Raven Report. Its just two years old, but it has grown from a small group of 10 students to a staff of 40. But it needs help to survive. Heres the need: funding for supplies and printing costs; a digital power shot camera; digital voice recorders; thumb/ash drives. Used is OK if workable. Donations can be made to Sequoia High School Raven Report, 1201 Brewster Ave., Redwood City, CA 94062.

Letter to the editor

Be very careful what you preach
Editor, I am responding to Jorg Aadahls letter to the Editor, (Be careful what you preach, June 2 edition, Daily Journal), referencing non-believers we are more indebted to for our heritage than for religious individuals. Our country was founded on Judeo/Christian values. Some Jews and Christians we are indebted to: George Washington Carver, Martin Luther King Jr., Samuel Morse, Louis Pasteur, Wright Brothers, Isaac Newton, Christopher Columbus, Nicolas Copernicus, Blaise Pascal, Robert Oppenheimer, Jonas Salk, George Washington, John Adams, Patrick Henry, Pocahontas, Clarence Thomas, Abraham Lincoln, C.S. Lewis, Anne Frank, Simon Wiesenthal, Florence Nightingale and George Frideric Handel. Aadahl stated, statistically, there is a direct correlation between education and belief in the supernatural. Perhaps welleducated individuals are so intelligent and know denitively that God does not exist. There is not any veriable proof for Gods non-existence. Some believe it takes more faith to be an atheist than it does to believe in a Creator. Our complex world and universe provide a case for existence of a creator. Aadahl stated the book (Bible) is just a collection of stories that have been written, changed and embellished upon by men long after the events, without eyewitnesses or corroboration from contemporary historians. His statement is not correct. World-class scholar Bruce Metzger said compared with other ancient documents, there are an unprecedented number of New Testament manuscripts, and they can be dated extremely close to the original writings. The modern New Testament is 99.5 percent free of textual discrepancies, with no major doctrines in doubt. Archeologist John McRay said archeological ndings have enhanced the New Testaments credibility and no discovery has ever disproved a biblical reference. I do agree with Aadahl on one point; be careful what you preach.

Trees,grapes split groups

By Jason Dearen
ANNAPOLIS, Calif. The ocean fog and cool climate of Californias rugged northern coast allow redwood trees to thrive and help give wine grapes a distinctive avor. But in the village of Annapolis in Sonoma Countys coastal mountains, a quiet battle is pitting trees against vineyards. Here, where many homes are found off dirt roads that snake through dense foliage that has regrown after the clear-cut logging of a half-century ago, the usually mellow residents are riled up over plans to raze hundreds of acres of redwoods and rs to make room for grapes. At issue are two proposed timberlandto-vineyard conversion projects, the rst such applications that California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or CalFire, ofcials can remember in which large areas of redwoods and rs would be removed for vineyards. Even with a three-year drop in the price of high-end wines like those grown in Sonoma County, and a glut of wine grape production on the more than 62,000 acres of vineyard already planted
in the valley below Annapolis, two large wine companies want to remove nearly 2,000 acres of trees. The companies say they simply want to make great wines. Opponents argue the projects are unnecessary in a county already producing more pinot and other grapes than the market can bear, and that the vineyards will hurt endangered sh struggling to rebound in the Gualala River by siphoning off water and introducing pesticides. At least one of the proposed sites contains sacred tribal artifacts. Annapolis residents say the county has enough wine grapes, and that the tribal artifacts and environmental concerns are being thrust upon the community because just so two large winemakers can grow vanity vineyards that yield small amounts of expensive wines. The watersheds on its heels as far as sh goes, which is why its important to keep the ow. If you put all these straws in the watershed drawing water out, you might as well kiss it goodbye, said Chris Poehlmann, a museum exhibit designer who lives in Annapolis and heads a local conservation group. The grape growers argue these lands will be developed one way or another as
the county grows, and that it is better to have vineyards than housing developments. Napas Artesa Vineyards, owned by a Barcelona, Spain-based wine heavyweight Grupo Cordoniu known for making sparkling wine, wants to develop 151 acres of pinot noir and chardonnay vineyard on a site containing artifacts from ancient Kashaya Pomo villages. Premier Pacic Vineyards is seeking to put rows of grapes on about 1,800 acres of 20,000 it owns nearby in a project that will also include residential housing called Preservation Ranch. Decisions on both projects are expected by county and state ofcials within the next year or two. Both winemakers argue the projects are undergoing detailed environmental review, and that in some cases the developments will help, not hurt, the environment by providing better management of the land and repairing decades-old damage by logging companies. The vineyard has been designed as a state-of-the art operation with environmental and other resources in mind, Artesas attorney Andrea Matarazzo said in an email.
States weigh relaxing penalties for teen sexting

By David Klepper
PROVIDENCE, R.I. A congressman who sends an X-rated photo of himself jeopardizes his reputation and his job. But in many states, teens caught doing the same thing can risk felony charges, jail time and being branded sexual offenders. Thats because a minor who transmits a sexually explicit photo of themselves according to many state laws, is manufacturing and distributing child pornography. Lawmakers across the country, however, now say the problem of teen sexting didnt exist when they enacted harsh punishments for child porn and are considering changes that would ensure minors dont face jail time for youthful mistakes. Lets just call this what it is: stupid,
said Rhode Island state Rep. Peter Martin, a Democrat from Newport who is sponsoring a bill to downgrade teen sexting from a felony to a juvenile offense. These are kids were talking about. I dont think minors should face these severe punishments just for being stupid. Legislatures in Rhode Island and 20 other states have considered bills this year to adjust penalties for teen sexting, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. California lawmakers are considering legislation that would enable schools to expel students caught sexting. Florida lawmakers voted to punish teen sexting with a $60 ne and community service. Lawmakers in New York, where U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner is embroiled in a sexting scandal, have introduced legisla-
tion that would allow judges to send teens who send explicit photos to counseling instead of jail if prosecutors agree they meant no harm. Studies show that one in ve teens has electronically transmitted explicit photos of themselves, and one third say they have received such photos. Its a 21st century update of Ill show you mine with one critical difference: lewd photos can be passed on with the push of a button and live forever on the Internet. Its an extraordinarily common behavior among kids, like it or not, said Amy Adler, a law professor at New York University who has studied how child pornography laws have been applied to sexting. I hope lawmakers and prosecutors gure out quickly how to address it, because its not going away.
Bye-Bye bidets! U.S. troops leaving Saddam palaces

By Rebecca Santana
BAGHDAD Available soon: nine palaces in lakeside complex frequented by visiting kings and dictators, beautiful molded ceilings and light xtures, many bidets, Saddam Hussein mural and former prison cell. As is, with Tomahawk missile damage. Contact: U.S. Army. Thus might read a real estate ad for the Victory Base Complex, one of the many properties the U.S. military is vacating as the Dec. 31 deadline for its withdrawal from Iraq approaches. It will leave behind probably some of the most elaborate, some would say tacky, ofce spaces ever used by American soldiers, sailors or Marines. The U.S. military has been headquartered in the complex near Baghdad International Airport almost since GIs reached Baghdad in 2003. Countless U.S. dignitaries have passed through. It is an odd place to work, surrounded by so much Saddam history and grandiosity. By the time the dictator was toppled, he had built about 75 palaces and VIP complexes nationwide. That is according to the then U.S. military historians report on the Victory Base Complex written last year. Touring the complex is a bit like touring Saddams mind. There is the Victory over Iran palace, commemorating the 1980-1988 war he started that ended in stalemate and half a million dead. And the Victory over America palace commemorating the 1991 Gulf War in which a U.S.-led coalition drove Saddams invading forces out of Kuwait. Any war that Saddam survived was a victory, said Col. Les Melnyk, the current U.S. military historian in Iraq. Now the Iraqi government must gure out what to do with all this square footage.

College of San Mateo Hall of Fame member and legendary coach Tom Martinez announced via Facebook yesterday that he only has a month to live. In a post on his daughters wall, Martinez said, We have received some bad news that I wanted to share with all of you. I have been given a week to a month to live, depending on my body's response to medication. I want to thank you for the relationship that we shared and the friendships that allowed me to have a very successful career. As much as I would like to talk to you each in person, that is not feasible so please respect my family's need for some privacy now. If the number of lives that I've been involved with are in the thousands, then it isn't possible to talk to each and every one of you. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to teach and coach you all and I ask that you take one or two of my life lessons and pass them on to your family and friends and that will keep me alive forever. With much love and appreciation, I wish all of you a very successful and fullled life. TM.

Giants find a way again

SAN FRANCISCO Aubrey Huff had three hits and two RBIs, Jonathan Sanchez pitched six wildly effective innings and the San Francisco Giants rallied from two runs down for a 4-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday night. Nate Schierholtz delivered the go-ahead sacrice y off reliever Jose Arredondo (0-2) during a two-run seventh inning that helped the Giants earn a four-game series split. Sanchez walked ve and struck out ve in six innings. He constantly pitched out of jams and forced three inning-ending double plays, giving San Francisco a chance to come back after chasing Reds starter Edinson Volquez after six innings. Ramon Ramirez (2-0) earned the win and Brian Wilson pitched a scoreless ninth for his 18th save in 20 opportunities. Sanchez struggled with his control again but kept the game close. And the Giants, even

banged up with injuries to sluggers Freddy Sanchez and Buster Posey among others, just dont lose many close games at home. Chris Stewart started the seventh with a walk. Then Andres Torres hit a double off Arredondo (0-2), who intentionally walked Miguel Tejada to load the bases with one out. Arredondo was lifted for left-hander Bill Bray, who didnt fare much better. Schierholtz hit the go-ahead sacrice y to center, and Huff followed with a run-scoring single to give the Giants a 4-2 lead. That was more than enough to back the bullpen. Ramirez, Javier Lopez and Sergio Romo held the Reds scoreless for two innings before Wilson entered in the ninth. Thats the formula San Francisco used to win the World Series last season, even if it looked like Sanchez might throw the game away early. Of course, that both starters struggled with their control was no surprise. Sanchez and Volquez entered the game as the top two in the National League in walks and the trend continued to hurt both. Sanchez hit Joey Votto and walked Jay Bruce to lead off the fourth. Then Scott Rolen hit an RBI double before Edgar Renteria lofted a sacrice y to left eld to give the Reds a 2-0 lead. The Giants started their rally in the fourth when Huff doubled down the left-field line to score Schierholtz from first and trim Cincinnatis lead to 2-1. Volquez walked Cody Ross to put runners on rst and second with one out, then struck out Brandon Crawford and got Manny Burriss to line out to third.
SANTA CLARA Cal fans seemed to quickly make themselves at home at Santa Clara Universitys Stephen Schott Stadium this weekend, turning out in droves for the first baseball Super Regional in school history. Many of the 1,431 in attendance were attending the venue for the rst time, the majority of which showed up an hour early to boast a tremendous showing even for batting practice. And from the time the patented Go Bears! chant echoed early through the strange rafters, to the Boom! Boom! Clack! of a timely late-inning thunderclap, it was evident throughout Cals dominant Game 1 win over Dallas Baptist that this was the fan-friendly environment SCU has intended since Schott Stadium opened in 2005. Schott Stadium hasnt exactly become a baseball Mecca. The home teams play undoubtedly prompts poor turnouts. The Broncos finished last in the West Coast Conference this season and over the past three years have posted just a 36-52 home record. The attendance reects this, as the Broncos failed to draw more than 500 fans to any individual home game this year. The last time Santa Clara played for a sellout crown was May 1, 2009 when the Broncos hosted San Diego State and that was the night phenom Stephen Strasburg came to town.
Evans Diamond at Cal doesnt have lights the cozy connes of Schott Stadium arent lost on the Golden Bears. This was apparent when cleanup hitter Marcus Semien swiftly answered the crowds rst thunderclap by depositing a majestic bomb onto the roof of the batting cage in left-center eld. I heard a little bit of [the thunderclap], Semien said. And when everybody stood up during the last two outs, it was like: This is how it should be. I kind of wish at Evans we had something like this, with the lights and a little more seating. And the fan-friendly environment extends beyond the near 1,500 capacity seating within the stadium. The condominiums over the righteld wall are furnished with balconies overlooking the eld. And while hardly anyone takes advantage of them for Broncos home games, there were dozens of onlookers Saturday that watched the entire game from the balconies. Also, upwards of a hundred people gathered in the courtyard beyond the center-eld wall to enjoy playoff baseball. And that doesnt count the people who viewed the game through the right-eld fence from the sidewalk that extends through the easement between the outeld wall and the condo complex.
Emergency maintenance
Not that Schott Stadium was initially primed for playoff baseball in addition to being responsible for ticket sales and box-ofce stafng and providing 11 ushers for each game, Cal brought over its grounds crew to tend to the eld. And upon receiving the news last Tuesday that
Epic fanfare
With Cals Super Regional series which was moved to Santa Clara to fulll television requirements, as
the Super Regional was to be hosted at Schott Stadium, Cal groundskeeper Anthony Pulizzano made an impromptu trip to Santa Clara to assess the work that would need to be done to the eld. And the prognosis was not good. The mound was absolutely terrible, Pulizzano said. It was low by a couple of inches and in places the whole playing surface had to be redone. Pulizzano said his crew scattered like ies from Berkeley to Santa Clara and put in two 12-hour days on Wednesday and Thursday to get the eld up to NCAA specications for postseason games. The crew which includes two Menlo College coaches Matt Daily and Matt Allison and rounds out with the Cal staff of Pulizzano, Matt Artozqui, Jason Craft, Tavi Rodriguez, Tory Merritt, Tim Vigil, Miguel Vazquez and Danny Alvarado removed a crooked pitchers mound, then added two inches of clay and aligned a new mound. They also repaved the batters box and had to re-sod parts of the ineld grass. That doesnt really surprise me that they had to make improvements, especially to the mound, said Santa Clara pitcher J.R. Graham. It was denitely small compared to other mounds where we played this year. Graham was Santa Claras ace pitcher this year and was the only Broncos player to be selected in last weeks Major League Baseball draft. Having previously been drafted out of Livermore High School, Graham opted for college, choosing SCU because of the baseball program, which posted winning records at home through each of its rst
three full seasons at Schott Stadium. Graham said the program looked poised to take it to the next level. However, a glut of injuries hindered the Broncos as they nished under .500 in each of Grahams three seasons. You always feel like youre taller than the hitter when youre a pitcher, Graham said. But at home, I was always at eye-level with the batter and it was really weird. It wasnt a good feeling. [The mound] was just really small.
Road to Omaha
So, who knew that Schott Stadium would end up being a prelude stop on the road to Omaha and the College World Series? Cal is certainly embracing the moment, having played perhaps its most spirited game of the year in a 7-0 win over upstart Dallas Baptist in Saturdays Super Regional opener. Results for last nights Game 2 were not available at press time. If necessary, Game 3 will be held today at a time yet to be determined. However, Saturdays game left Cal one game from Omaha. Yes, the blue-and-gold has never been seen with quite as much support and fervor on this side of the bay. It is certainly a stark contrast to the Broncos red-and-black. But for this weekend at least with many Cal players sporting Mohawks dyed Golden Bears-blonde Schott Stadium unmistakably belongs to Cal. And as Cal attempts to overcome an unprecedented Cinderella story in qualifying for its first College World Series trip since 1992, perhaps the potential of the modern venue that is Schott Stadium will at last be realized.

Dallas wins NBA title,Nowitzki named MVP

MIAMI For Dirk Nowitzki, the resume is complete. Hes an NBA champion. For LeBron James, the agonizing wait continues for at least one more year. Avenging what happened five years ago in perfect turnabout style, the Dallas Mavericks won their rst NBA title by winning Game 6 of these nals in Miami 105-95 on Sunday night celebrating on the Heats home oor, just as Dwyane Wade and his team did to them in the 2006 title series. The Mavericks won four of the series last ve games, a turnabout that could not have been sweeter. I really still cant believe it, said Nowitzki, who had 21 points and took home nals MVP honors. Tonight, Jason Terry said after leading Dallas with 27 points, we got vindication. James did not. Not even close, and a year unlike any other ended they way they all have so far with him still waiting for an NBA title. He scored 21 points for Miami, shook a few hands afterward, and departed before most of the Mavs tugged on their championship hats and T-shirts. Chris Bosh had 19, Mario Chalmers 18 and Dwyane Wade 17 for the Heat. We worked so hard and so long for it, Nowitzki said. The team has had an unbelievable ride. So did the Heat. Unlike Dallas, theirs wasnt a joyride. It goes without saying, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Youre never really prepared for a moment like this. ... Neither team deserved
this championship more than the other, but Dallas earned it. Make no mistake: Miami lost the nals, but the blame will be directed at James. Even he knew that after the way he left Cleveland with The Decision and all the animus that generated not just in Ohio but around the entire league, the only way he could silence some critics was with a title. Instead, he got more criticism and a thinly veiled jab from his former owner with the Cavaliers, Dan Gilbert, who reveled in the moment on Twitter. Mavs NEVER stopped & now entire franchise gets rings, Gilbert wrote. Old Lesson for all: There are NO SHORTCUTS. NONE. Mavs coach Rick Carlisle joined a highly elite group, those with NBA titles as both a player and a head coach. Only 10 other men are on that list, including the presumably retired-for-good Phil Jackson, one of Carlisles mentors in K.C. Jones, and Heat President Pat Riley who led Miami past Dallas in 2006, and was the mastermind of what the Heat did last summer by getting James, Wade and Bosh on the same team with an eye on becoming a dynasty. It might still happen, of course. But even after 72 wins this season, including playoffs, the Heat lost the last game. And that means this year was a disappointment except to just about everyone else in the NBA, or so it would seem. This is a true team, Carlisle said. This is an old bunch. We dont run fast or jump high. These guys had each others backs. We played the right way. We trusted the
pass. This is a phenomenal thing for the city of Dallas. Hating the Heat became the NBAs craze this season, and the team knew it had no shortage of critics, everyone from Cleveland (where Cavs for Mavs shirts were popular during these finals) to Chicago (the city James and Wade both irted with last summer) and just about every place in between lining up to take shots at Miami. Given their newfound popularity, meet the new Americas Team. Sorry, Cowboys your longheld moniker might have to be ceded to your citys NBA club. When it was over, Mavs owner Mark Cuban ran onto the court to hug Carlisle, then punched the air and whooped. Im so happy for him. Im so happy for Dirk, Carlisle said. Carlisle said Riley came down to congratulate the Mavericks after the game, showing unbelievable class. Their time will come, Carlisle said. But now, its our time. When the Mavericks took a 2-0 lead in Dallas during the 06 nals, plans for their victory parade were announced. The Mavs didnt win another game in that series. Now, that parade will nally happen. And when its over, then the leagues uncertainty will truly begin. Labor strife likely awaits, and although more talks geared toward movement on a new deal are scheduled for this week, both owners and players are bracing for a lockout to begin once the current collective bargaining agreement expires June 30.

Yeah. And? I cant go there. Replays seemed to show that Crisp beat the throw from Morel, which nearly brought Teahen off of rst base. There were runners on rst and second at the time, which meant Morel might have opted for the force play at third. I didnt see the replay, but I thought he had a better chance at third base to tag the base rather than throw across, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. As soon as he threw the ball to rst, I said, Thats a problem. Crisp, whose 1,000th hit bid was stolen by a leaping Brent Lillibridge Saturday night, reached the milestone leading off the rst inning. Crisp was unavailable to talk after the game. Oakland dropped three of the four games in Chicago and has lost 12 of its last 13 games. For the second straight day, an As throwing error led to an unearned run that proved to be the difference. The White Sox broke a 3-3 tie with two runs in the seventh, the rst scoring on Carlos Quentins grounder that could have been a double play. Playing third base, Scott Sizemore elded and threw wide to second baseman Jemile Weeks. Teahen scored on the play and Alexei Ramirez later came around on Paul Konerkos RBI single. It was a combination of me overrunning it and a slight kick to the right, Sizemore said. I didnt have a good grip on it and threw it. By that time, I had my mind made up. I just threw it away. Oakland committed six errors in the four game series and the As have 51 errors in 67 games. The Texas Rangers are the only American League team that has committed more. We dont have a true third baseman right now, but were not going to use that as an excuse, Melvin said. Were going to continue to work on our defense and its going to get better. Adam Dunn hit a three-run homer off of As starter Guillermo Moscoso in the fourth to back seven strong innings by Phil Humber. You cant lose concentration after that, Moscoso said. I kept my focus and pitched two more innings and we tied the game. Moscoso (2-3) allowed baserunners in every inning except the rst, but lasted one out into the seventh. He gave up six hits, ve runs four earned four walks and struck out two. He keeps the ball down, locates, throws breaking balls behind in the count, throws changeups to righthanders as well, Melvin said. I was extremely pleased. Humber (6-3) pitched at least seven innings for the fth straight start, allowing three runs, four hits, two walks and a homer. He struck out a career-high seven. Humber is 5-1 with a 2.53 ERA over his last nine starts.

Athletics sinking fast, lose for 12th time in 13 games

CHICAGO Coco Crisp and the Oakland As just cant catch a break. A day after being robbed of a goahead two-run homer, Crisp was called out on a play he appeared to be safe on to seal a 5-4 victory for the Chicago White Sox over the As on Sunday. Down to their last out with runners on rst and second, Crisp hit a grounder to third. Brent Morel elded it and chose to throw to rst instead of stepping on the third base bag. First baseman Mark Teahen stretched to his left to catch Morels throw as Crisp crossed the bag. First base umpire Brian ONora signaled that Crisp was out, leaving him in disbelief. As interim manager Bob Melvin came out to argue. It looked to us like he was safe Melvin said. Did he see the replay?
The Athletics scored a run off Chicago closer Sergio Santos in the ninth, but Santos was able to nail down his 12th save on the Crisp groundout. Sizemores solo homer off Humber in the seventh tied it at 3. Three of Sizemores four career homers have come as a visiting player at U.S. Cellular Field. Crisp had two hits, two runs and a stolen base for Oakland. The White Sox nished 6-4 on their 10-game homestand and wrapped up just their second season series victory against Oakland since 2001. The Athletics have lost 12 of 13 and their starting pitchers are 010 over their past 13 games. NOTES: As LHP Brett Anderson is scheduled to meet with orthopedist Dr. James Andrews on Monday to get a second opinion on his ailing left elbow. ... Humber was a member of the Oakland organization for about a month during the offseason, before being waived to make room for free-agent signee Grant Balfour.

the idea of returning to CCS. In 2011, Tha carried the Westmoor Rams to a share of the PAL Ocean Division title and a 13-1 record, going unblemished along the way. In the PAL postseason, a focused Tha could not be stopped, as she repeated her championship feat. Her performance as the No. 1 singles player stood out enough that she was awarded the rst seed in the CCS tournament. Tha beat Sophie Xia in her rst match, 1513, 12-15, 15-2, then took care of South Citys Queenie Daniela, dropping only eight
points in that contest. Unfortunately for Tha, the CCS No. 2 seed, Stephanie Lam of Monte Vista, apparently has her number. Lam beat Tha in two sets, forcing Tha into the losers bracket. Tha persevered though, beating Xia once more to force a rematch with Lam in the championship match. Tha would have to settled for a second place nish again though, falling to Lam in two sets. The Daily Journal Boys Badminton Player of the Year is a former All-League doubles player that advanced to a pair of wins from a CCS title as a singles player. Jan Banquiles of Burlingame played his badminton last season with Nick Cui. Together, their performance was good enough for a All-League selection.
This year, as a sophomore, Banquiles went solo and the move proved to be the right one. While Burlingame struggled to a 5-9 record in the PAL Ocean Division, Banquiles was strong and in the PAL championships he demonstrated his potential by winning the entire thing. His play garnered him the seventh seed in the CCS playoffs. Banquiles won his rst two matches, the rst against Mittys Brian Lin and the second against Tedman Zhuang. But his loss to Jeffrey Kuo forced Banquiles into the losers bracket. Banquiles won another match before bowing out to Eric Yee of Santa Clara. Still, his debut as a singles player in CCS was good for a fourth place nish the best by any San Mateo county badminton player.

You walked out the door. There was nobody there. And Frazar had been so ready to quit golf he had plans lined up for a new job at the end of the year. He turns 40 on July 29, misses his family back in Texas, and is playing this year on a major med-
ical exemption after separate surgeries on his hip and shoulder last summer. Memphis is just the fourth cut hes made in 10 events, though he just qualified for the upcoming U.S. Open at Congressional. Now Frazar has the biggest paycheck of his career, taking home $1,008,000. He knows hell be playing at least a couple more years now he has a slot in the Tournament of Champions in Maui in January and in Augusta next
April for his first Masters. It just shows you how sometimes when you let your guard down or let your expectations soften, you can free yourself up, Frazar said. Frazar hadnt had a chance to share the news with his wife and three children when he talked with reporters. He said his wife likely was stuck in the Dallas airport, flying to meet him at Congressional.

Boxing Hall welcomes three

CANASTOTA, N.Y. The onceproclaimed baddest man on the planet fumbled for words that wouldnt come. Sylvester Stallone knew exactly what Mike Tyson was feeling. Both were inducted in the International Boxing Hall of Fame on Sunday, Tyson for his reign as heavyweight champion of the world, Stallone for his Rocky movie series, and the fans turned out in droves on a rainy, overcast afternoon. Thousands packed every corner of the induction grounds, and Tyson was no match for the emotion of the moment. Ive got to be goofy about this or Ill get emotional up here, Tyson warned before trying to honor the late trainer Cus DAmato, who became his legal guardian after Tysons mother died and taught him the ner points of the sweet science in a gym in Catskill, N.Y., just a 2 1/2-hour drive from the Hall of Fame. DAmato died in 1985, the year before the hard-punching Tyson knocked out WBC champion Trevor Berbick in the second round to become the youngest heavyweight champ in history at age 20. All this stuff started when I met Cus,
and Bobby Stewart (a social worker and boxing fan who introduced Tyson to DAmato), Tyson said. I was in reform school because I was always robbing people. All my life I watched these guys. I look at them different, Tyson said as he looked around at a dais that included hometown heroes Carmen Basilio and Billy Backus, Jake LaMotta, Leon Spinks, George Chuvalo, and Marvin Hagler, among others. Why would I want to be like these guys I always say. I dont know. Tyson paused briey the crowd erupted in Come on Mike! and then he tried in vain to continue. Oh, man, Tyson said. I have to take my time with this because theres other guys up here, you know. When I met Cus, we talked a little bit about money, but we wanted to be great ghters. Hey guys, I cant even nish this stuff. Thank you. Thank you, Tyson said, then sat down. If anyone could understand the 44year-old Tysons mind-set, it was Stallone, who penned the script about an underdog boxer from Philadelphia named Rocky Balboa and then played the part in the movies. Rocky was released in 1976 and was nominated for
10 Academy Awards, winning best picture, best director and best lm editing. Rocky made Stallone what he is today and captured boxings heart from the outset. Every induction weekend is punctuated by the theme song from Rocky, and on this day it seemed a little bit louder than usual as it blared over the loudspeakers when the honorees made their way onstage. Ive never pretended to be a boxer. I dont possess those skills, said Stallone, who skipped the annual preinduction parade because of security concerns. What I do think I have is an understanding of what goes on outside the ring. Outside the ring is sometimes maybe an even bigger struggle than what goes on inside the ring, and I was able to capture that. Then I believe that you can identify more with the ghter. Stallone paused as the crowd erupted again. More than that, you also realize that our life is a constant battle, Stallone said. Sometimes I write things that may seem a little sentimental, but I truly believe its not how hard you can hit its how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward because thats really what makes the difference in your life.
Tyson makes it alive and well to Hall

The road isnt very far, about 140 mostly freeway miles from Catskill to Canastota in New York. It took Mike Tyson a lot of years and more than just a few lives to get there. A betting person might have gotten good odds a few years back that any induction of Tyson into the International Boxing Hall of Fame would be of the posthumous variety. But Tyson was very much alive on Sunday, his daughter on his lap as he smiled and waved at fans gathered for the boxings hall annual parade. The out-of-control character he once was is the only thing dead now, and Tyson tries to bury his former persona even deeper every time he opens his mouth. The crooked smile and bizarre tattoo on his face are the only reminders of the day when the now slimmed down vegetarian and budding movie star was indeed the baddest man on the planet. He doesnt even look like a heavyweight anymore, much less one who would terrify opponents long before they entered the ring. But they dont induct bit players in Hollywood comedies into the Hall of Fame, no matter how good the Hangover movies are. You have to at least play a ghter to get in the boxing hall, which was how Sylvester Stallone also found his way there on this day. The best ghter among the inductees wasnt even Tyson. Julio Cesar Chavez, the Mexican idol who relentlessly beat down almost everybody put into the ring against him, was a much more accomplished boxer than Tyson and was as feared by smaller ghters as Tyson was by the heavyweights. The best speaker was Stallone, who closed his talk with a famous line from the Rocky movies, telling the crowd in Canastota that Yo, Adrian, I did it. Tyson, meanwhile, was so overcome by emotion that he couldnt even nish remarks that were meandering at best to begin with. Yes, Iron Mike was crying. Crying unabashedly, as he tried to honor the memory of the late Cus DAmato, who became a surrogate father to him growing up in nearby Catskill. But if this was a way to nally close a career that no longer needs closure, consider it done. The Mike Tyson who was honored for his work in the ring is still a fan of the sport that made him rich and famous at an age where he had no idea how to handle either money or fame. He still appears at big ghts in Las Vegas, where he is always greeted by fans with the biggest applause of anyone sitting ringside. They remember the ghter who wore black trunks, no socks, and threw left hooks so powerful they knocked guys down even when they missed. The ghter who instead of celebrating was more likely to walk over to his vanquished opponent to make sure he was all right. The ghter who was so fascinating they couldnt take their eyes off of him even as his life spun out of control. What they dont remember is that Tyson was a one-trick pony, a ghter who relied on intimidation and brute power to make up for what he lacked in boxing skills. His cornermen would call out numbers for punch combinations they wanted Tyson to throw, but by the time he became the youngest heavyweight champion ever at the age of 20 he was pretty much done listening to anybody about anything. His career peaked with a string of knockouts in the late 80s, including a 91-second one of a petried Michael Spinks in Atlantic City. But Buster Douglas stopped him in one of the biggest upsets ever in 1990 and things pretty much went downhill from there. While he looked ferocious again briey after serving prison term for rape, he was unmasked by Evander Holyeld for good in 1996 and from there it was just a matter of chasing paydays. Look at his record objectively, and theres no way he goes down as one of the great heavyweights ever. But no one especially those among us who were along for the ride in his brief prime ever looked at Tyson objectively. Hes Hall of Fame material just for being Mike Tyson. There was nothing more spectacular than a Tyson ght, nothing more electrifying than the wait just before the opening bell. That he survived prison, drugs, street ghts and the people who always had a hand in his pocket is remarkable enough. That he has reinvented himself in recent years as a lovable philosopher and student of life is way more remarkable. You reach a point in your life where you nd out all you believed in life was a lie and you want to start life all over again, Tyson told me a few months ago. I want to be a good person, not just be known as a great person. He predicted before going to Canastota he would not make it through his speech before breaking down, and he was right. Memories of his beloved Cus were too close to the surface But that was all right to the several thousand fans who cheered him with chants of Come on Mike as he struggled for words. Seeing Tyson there alive and and quite well was more than reward enough.

Super 8 tops box office

By David Germain
his past week, we had a 30-pound cat available for adoption at the Peninsula Humane Society. We made Murphy the weeks media darling and poked fun at his weight, as there was, well, a lot to poke. But, with that light message, we presented a heavier one (no pun intended): he was overweight obese by most vets standards and he needed to lose weight to avoid future health problems and a shorter life. We said we would denitely share health and dietary information with his new adopters. Murphys 15 minutes of fame were just that. The same day the Bay Area learned about our big boy, he was adopted by a local couple who spotted him on page three of Friday mornings Daily Journal. He now has a fantastic home and people willing to get him to a healthier weight. People asked how he got so big. The most likely reason is overfeeding. Its simple; if calories consumed exceed calories burned, a cat packs on weight. And, I think most pet owners know that chubbiness gets a lot less cute when it leads to diabetes, arthritis, skin problems and heart disease. Heres a quick test to see if your cat is overweight: feel along the side. You should be able to feel individual ribs. And, stand over your cat. You should be able to see a waist and slight hourglass shape. Most vets will run blood tests to rule out a medical cause for obesity such as an under active thyroid. Treatment will involve gradual weight loss. Increased exercise and decreased food intake are essential. Interactive toys arent just for dogs; there are many on the market for cats. No treats and a special diet will likely be part of the plan. Also, a number of smaller meals per day (as opposed to lling the bowl once day) will help the weight loss efforts.

LOS ANGELES Hollywoods summer box-ofce streak has cooled a bit with a $37 million opening weekend for J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielbergs sci- tale Super 8. It was a healthy but unremarkable launch in a summer season whose newcomers often open with two or three times as much money. Released by Paramount Pictures, Super 8 largely features a cast of young newcomers, the story centering on teen lmmakers and an alien entity that escapes from a wrecked train. The movie was never conceived to be a blockbuster, tent-pole lm opening to $60 or $70 million, said Don Harris, head of distribution for Paramount. Writer-director Abrams (Star Trek, TVs Lost) was inspired by his own youth as a Super 8 lmmaker who emulated such talents as Spielberg, a producer on Super 8. When the studio scheduled Super 8 amid such known summer quantities as Pirates of the Caribbean and Kung Fu Panda sequels, there was some concern we were sending a signal that it was a big summer blockbuster, Harris said. What we really wanted to do was nd a place where the movie could open, nd its audience and hopefully play for a long time. Super 8 bumped off the previous weekends No. 1 movie, 20th Century Foxs comicbook prequel X-Men: First Class, which slipped to second-place with $25 million. First Class raised its domestic total to $98.9 million. After a string of blockbuster debuts in May and early June, Hollywoods overall revenues dipped for the rst time in a month. Domestic receipts totaled $140 million, down 7.5 percent from the same weekend last year, when The Karate Kid led with $55.7 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. The weekends other new wide release, Relativity Medias family ick Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer, opened weakly at No. 7 with $6.3 million. The movie follows a young girls wacky summer adventures. Super 8 started with $1 million in sneakpeek screenings Thursday, giving it a domestic total of $38 million.
Super 8topped the weekend box ofce with $37 million.
Top ten movies

1.Super 8,$37 million ($6.7 million international). 2.X-Men:First Class,$25 million. 3. The Hangover Part II, $18.5 million ($38.3 million international). 4.Kung Fu Panda 2, $16.6 million ($56.5 million international). 5.Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, $10.8 million ($41.1 million international). 6.Bridesmaids,$10.2 million. 7.Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer,$6.3 million. 8.Midnight in Paris,$6.1 million. 9.Thor,$2.4 million. 10.Fast Five,$1.7 million ($5.9 million international).
The movie added $6.7 million in nine international markets, including $2.7 million in Australia. It expands to about 15 more countries next weekend, among them Russia, Greece and Turkey. Two sequels passed the $200 million mark domestically this weekend. The Warner Bros. comedy The Hangover Part II came in at No. 3 with $18.5 million to become the years top-grossing domestic release at $216.6 million.
Disneys action tale Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides was No. 5 with $10.9 million, raising its domestic haul to $208.8 million. Both movies topped Universals Fast Five, which had been the years biggest moneymaker domestically. Fast Five nished at No. 10 with $1.7 million, lifting its domestic total to $205.1 million. Worldwide, On Stranger Tides is the years top earner, pulling in $886.8 million. Overall business likely will be down sharply this coming weekend compared to the same period a year ago, when Toy Story 3 had a huge debut of $110.3 million. But revenues should rebound in late June and July as Hollywood delivers hotly anticipated sequels to the Cars, Transformers and Harry Potter franchises. Summer may turn out to be a rollercoaster, said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. May was so incredibly strong, and were going to step back a little bit in June, then come back really strong in July. Domestic revenues so far this year total $4.4 billion, down 7 percent from 2010 receipts. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

against it and three others abstained. The bill applies to counties, school districts, community college districts and county ofces of education. Critics said it would create a logistical nightmare of inconsistent tax policies that likely would be challenged in court and with a ballot referendum seeking to repeal it. Those obstacles, in addition to its uncertain prospects in the Assembly and with Gov. Jerry Brown, make it clear that Steinbergs bill is more than a funding tool. Steinberg acknowledged to reporters that he was using the legislation to pressure Republicans, who are the minority in both houses but whose consent is needed to pass tax increases. I felt it was important to pass this early because it does show that if the minority party, which holds some of the cards here, does not provide bridge funding for schools and for public safety agencies, duty quick rescue vehicles. Quints are particularly good for communities where buildings arent higher than 75 feet and res are infrequent, according to TriData, the consultants hired to review the citys re needs and proposals. The city currently does not have a building that high although the Palo Alto Medical Foundation clinic and parking garage coming will stand past 85 feet. A new quint would cost $700,000 to $800,000 and could last up to 20 years. A used quint would cost $250,000 to $400,000 and could probably last 10 to 15 years depending upon its age and condition at time of purchase. The city currently shares an aerial ladder truck with Belmont, rotating it between the Laurel Street station and the station at Ralston Avenue and Granada Street, and the joint department purchased another. When the Belmont-San Carlos Fire Department dissolves in October, however, Belmont will receive both. The fire consultants recommended le fixes. Now that the budget is balanced, the fire service contract is expected to be approved in June and the City Council has no vacancies, there is time for a little breathing room, Moura said. After that multi-year stretch, it makes sense to go back, he said. The council will still hold its semiannual council-management planning retreat Aug. 29. City staff is already anticipating the councils cancellation of the two summer meetings and has planned their derous barber, that he realized his love. It was this experience that helped Musante decide between heading to the University of California at Los Angeles to particiPeter Musante pate in its prestigious acting program or going east to study to be a doctor. I remember having this moment across the table from my parents. I think they were relieved when I said Im not going to be a doctor. Im going to be an actor, he said. Once he graduated from UCLA, Musante auditioned for a lot of different things including the Blue Man Group. Just the way that they conducted the interview process, I knew that it was something I wanted to do, Musante said. Four years later, Musante is based in New York and continues his run as one of the famous blue men. He loves the mix of improv, music and technology while being forced to communicate with an audience non-verbally. San Francisco is the rst stop in a national tour for the interactive show that includes comedy, music, technology and ever-changing multimedia.

that the majority party will fulll its responsibilities, Steinberg said. The governor has asked lawmakers to extend the 2009 sales and vehicle tax hikes through September, when he wants a special election to ask voters to renew them for ve years and reinstate a personal income tax increase for four years. Extending the tax hikes and calling a special election require a two-thirds vote in the Legislature, but so far the Republican votes needed to reach that have been nonexistent. Californians have been paying an extra 1 percent in sales tax, a half-percent more for vehicle licenses and a quarterpercent higher income tax rate for two years. Some tax lers also have received a lower tax exemption for dependents. All the tax hikes end by June 30, although the income tax increase is already expired. San Carlos pass on the engines, in part because the citys building heights and re numbers dont require something of its size, Moura said. San Carlos will receive seven fire department pumper engines and light vehicles valued at $347,862. The city will also assume $200,638 in loan debt on one pumper engine through Sept. 24, 2018 and receive a cash payment of $151,859 from the Belmont Fire Protection Department. San Carlos initiated dissolution of the BSCFD as a cost-saving measure. Belmont is also establishing its own stand-alone department. San Carlos estimates saving $1.5 million a key ingredient to its balanced budget this year. The San Carlos City Council meets 7 p.m. Monday, June 13 at City Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.

Redwood City plus a piece of the stafng costs. The revision drops the cost to $100,000 in year one with up to a 3 percent per year cost increase. Another factor in the new numbers might be San Carlos ofcials learning that Redwood City provides truck service to Woodside for free, Moura said. That would certainly explain in part why the costs dropped, he said. Redwood City would reserve the right to review the costs after the rst year based on actual use. If the City Council accepts this recommendation, the city would continue researching whether to invest in its own aerial ladder truck or the hybrid engine/ladder truck known as a quint, Moura said. A quint is the preferred apparatus, followed by the possible purchase of light

and more a sign the city is nally in a strong nancial position, said Assistant City Manager Brian Moura. The city used to traditionally take off at least one of its summer meetings but hasnt done so in several years because its ongoing structural deficit and budget challenges required meetings to tack-
agenda items in accordance. If the City Council on Monday night, however, votes against a summer recess, the July and August meetings will remain on the calendar. The San Carlos City Council meets 7 p.m. Monday, June 13 at City Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.

BLUE
the three men in the Blue Man Group performing at Golden Gate Theatre in San Francisco through Sunday, June 19. Musante was around the stage early in life. His mother, an improv actress, took Musante to shows. He has vivid memories of being on the side of the stage listening to the free-owing ideas turn into skits while reading a book and clinging to a plastic dinosaur. While at Bowditch Middle School, Musante put down the book and dinosaur to join the cast of the school musical. So many children were involved in the play, and his mom was directing it, so the move was appropriate. And Musante found a love of being on stage. After that, I kind of fell into a performing arts routine, he said. He enrolled at San Mateo High School and took advantage of its performing arts program while also playing soccer. While at San Mateo High, Musante was a staple within the drama department. He enjoyed the mix of students who participated in the craft. It wasnt until his senior year, when Musante played the lead role in Sweeney Todd as the mur-
Musante has also taken advantage of his downtime. Working last year with a friend from college, Summer Shapiro, the two created an original piece called Legs and All. The show had a pretty successful run between New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Orlando. Its been recognized with numerous awards. For the time being, the focus is on being blue. It takes about 30 minutes to transform into one of the blue performers. Putting on the cap over Musantes hair takes the longest. I encourage people to come who have already seen the show. This show is the newest, most modern version of what the show is going to be. Its a bit of the old but a bit of the very new. There are elements of technology that barely existed for more than a year that we use on stage. Its kind of the greatest hits over the years but also the direction that the company is going in, he said. Blue Man Group runs through Sunday, July 19 at the Golden Gate Theatre, 1 Taylor St. at the corner of Taylor and Market and Sixth streets. Tickets range from $50 to $200.

Even if you should have to work a bit harder than usual in the year ahead, go for brass ring. Your earnings will not only increase, but there are also likely to be some residual benefits.
GeMInI (May 21-June 20) -- Unless you manage your assignments strategically, your projects could begin to overlap and end up in one big jumbled mess. Dont try to do too many things at once. CanCeR (June 21-July 22) -- You dont like to be controlled, so understand that others dont like to be manipulated either. If you try to run them, youll not
only meet with resentment but anger as well. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Fail to think for yourself and you invite others to make decisions for you. Unfortunately, the wrong people will usually take the opportunity to use it to their advantage. VIRGo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Be prepared to back up any claims you make, because there are always those who will challenge your statements, especially if what you say could affect them. LIBRa (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- When dealing with a friend, it is extremely important that you conduct everything in a businesslike fashion. If you dont, either you or your pal could feel taken advantage of. SCoRPIo (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If you realize a decision you made is a real stinker, dont feel obligated to go
through with it. Mistakes that are not corrected are destined to lead to nothing but trouble. SaGITTaRIuS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Problems are likely to arise with persons who are either working for you or with you, if you dont deal with them very carefully and diplomatically. Be full of care and tact. CaPRICoRn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Unfortunately, it could be quite easy for you to take a flyer on a flimsy enterprise. Slow down your involvment in any investment proposal until you have time to investigate it thoroughly. aQuaRIuS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be careful about being unduly insistent upon having your own way, regardless of the reason. You stand a chance of alienating someone whose cooperation you need.
PISCeS (Feb. 20-March 20) -- People will not take caustic remarks lying down. If you make a nasty gibe about someone, it will quickly be reported to that person and thrown right back at you. aRIeS (March 21-April 19) -- Unless you stay on top of your spending, given half a chance your extravagant inclinations could easily get the best of you. Its to your advantage to be prudent, indigent. TauRuS (April 20-May 20) -- It behooves you to keep a cool head if you find yourself having to contend with more work than you think is reasonable. Its being given to you because youre the one who can do it.
