DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A former Peninsula basketball star was
extradited to Georgia last week to face alle-
gations he murdered a rapper at the request
of a Russian mobster.
Decensae White, 25, was arrested in
Redwood City and transported to Fulton
County in Georgia for charging in the mul-
tiple shooting of a rapper who went by the
moniker Lil Phat. He was
booked into jail May 17
and will appear in court
May 31.
The 19-year-old
Louisiana rapper, whose
name is really Melvin
Vernell III, was killed in a
June 7, 2012 drive-by
shooting outside an
Atlanta hospital where his girlfriend was
about to give birth, according to news
reports.
Five people were indicted in the death,
including White and Russian mobster Mani
Chulpayev who is accused of ordering the
hit. According to news reports out of
Atlanta following the shooting, Chulpayev
was implicated in a scheme to rent out vehi-
cles later reported stolen and had leased a
stolen BMW to the rapper in the weeks
before his death. Chulpayev, who was
arrested in Florida, has denied any involve-
ment.
Whites arrest is the latest twist for the

Life was quite different after one day of
school for siblings Anthony and Felecia
Sims.
Respectively 9 and 10 years old at the
time, they awoke along with their older
brother to nd their mom suffering from
paralysis in her legs. In the days leading up
to that morning, she had started to struggle
but that was when the kids called emergency
services. Their mom went to the hospital.
The children went to Hoover Elementary
School in Redwood City. One woman had
said not to worry, their mom would be back
before school was over, Anthony Sims
recalled. But that wasnt the case. Instead,
the three kids went into the foster care sys-
tem and moved to South San Francisco.
Their moms health got progressively
worse until she died in 2011. Despite the
changes that were beyond their control, the
siblings found their way. In fact, despite
just less than a year between them, the
brother and sister will graduate together
from Baden High School next week.
Anthony and Felecia have been great stu-
dents at Baden High School. They have per-
severed and overcome great obstacles to
make it to this point. I am so proud of
them, said counselor Juliet Johnson.
The Sims were lucky. The three kids ended
up with the same family in South San
Francisco, with whom they stayed for six
years. For the last two years, Anthony and
Felecia Sims were lucky to be staying with
the family of his best friend a change
they both described as being positive.
Straight away, Felecia and Anthony Sims
started school at Alta Loma Middle School.
Their new family was nice but the children
always felt more like guests than family.
While at South San Francisco High
School, both siblings talked about a lack
of drive. Felecia Sims said her grades had
fallen behind. Without motivation to
make it up within the traditional high
school setting, she took her counselors
advice and transferred to Baden, a continu-
ation school. Anthony Sims, feeling the
same way, decided to also make the
change. At the time, Felecia Sims was a
senior and Anthony Sims a junior.
Anthony arrived at Baden High School
intent on graduating early. He went above
and beyond every day to make sure that he
achieved his goal. The entire staff will be
glowing with pride when he crosses the
stage at the end of May, said English
teacher Sarah Schubmehl.
Once Anthony Sims realized he could
graduate early, he went for it.
For Felecia, who graduated on her 18th
birthday in October, graduation is unique
because it will be shared with her brother.
Shes already taking classes at Skyline
College with hopes of majoring in art.
Felecia is a gifted artist and writer. She
overcame incredible obstacles during her
journey to graduation it will be a pleasure
to see what she achieves during the next
stage of her education, said Schubmehl.
After celebrating graduation, both have
plans to get summer jobs and start working
on their associate degrees.
Baden High Schools graduation will be
held 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 29 at the
school, 825 Southwood Drive, South San
Francisco.
Great Grads is in its eighth year proling
one graduating senior from each of our local

pate. Those that choose to participate are

Firefighters extinguish small grass
fire neat Terra Nova High School
Crews quickly put out a small grass re
near Terra Nova High School in Pacica
Friday afternoon, a North County Fire
Authority inspector said.
The re near Terra Nova Boulevard and
Everglades Drive was reported around 12:15
p.m., Inspector Klaus Zalinskis said.
Crews arrived shortly afterward and the
10-by-10-foot fire was extinguished,
Zalinskis said.
A woman answering the phone at Terra
Nova High School, located down the block
at 1450 Terra Nova Blvd., said smoke from
the blaze was visible from the school and
administrators called authorities.
She said the re was far enough away from
the campus that the building, students and
staff were never threatened.

The grass re that broke out in an ease-
ment in the 500 block of Forbes Boulevard
was reported around 9:20 a.m., South San
Francisco re Battalion Chief Brian Grasser
said.
The one-alarm re on the biotech compa-
ny Genentech campus was extinguished
quickly, Grasser said.
Bayshore gets acting superintendent
Audra Pittman was selected to serve as act-
ing superintendent of the Bayshore
Elementary School District effective July 1,
according to a press release sent out Friday
by the district and the San Mateo County
Ofce of Education.
The San Mateo County Ofce of Education
has entered into an agreement with
Bayshores Board of Trustees to provide
superintendent, business ofce and other
services for a period of up to two years. The
agreement will assist the Bayshore as it
transitions from sharing services with the
Brisbane Elementary School District to
returning to its status as an independent
school district.
During this transitional time, Pittman
will serve in a part-time capacity as acting
superintendent while also continuing to
work on other duties at the San Mateo
County Ofce of Education.
Pittman has been the educational services
coordinator for the San Mateo County Ofce
of Education for the past three years.
PG&E calls $2.25B fine
for deadly blast excessive
The utility responsible for a deadly
pipeline explosion in San Bruno said Friday
that the record $2.25 billion in nes being
sought by state regulators is illegally
excessive, but did not offer a specic dollar
gure it considers reasonable.
In a 103-page ling submitted just before
the close of business, Pacic Gas & Electric
said that it agrees with the California Public
Utilities Commissions nding that a nan-
cial penalty is appropriate for the
September 2010 explosion that killed eight
people.
But the utility argued that its shareholders
are already paying $2.2 billion in system
upgrades and other improvements in
response to the blast, and that any nes
should be deducted from that amount.
PG&E has fully accepted moral and legal
responsibility for this tragic accident,
company lawyers wrote. However, the pro-
posed penalty of $2.25 billion ignores the
fundamental truth of this tragedy: this acci-
dent was not the result of willful or know-
ing violations of state law, federal stan-
dards or Commission orders, policies or
directives.
CPUC judges are expected to decide later
this year how much the company should be
ned for safety violations that led to the
explosion.
In addition to causing the eight deaths,
the rupture of a gas pipeline in San Bruno
sparked a fireball that also left dozens
injured and destroyed 38 homes.

A man found with $12,000 hidden
between his buttocks when he and two oth-

burglaries in Redwood City and Belmont
will stand trial in July.
Raphaelle Trendell Jones, 23, of Citrus

Jones and co-defendants Wyatt King, 34,

Jennifer Tyrrell, left, who was removed from her position as a den leader in 2012 for being
gay, hugs Pascal Tessier, 16, after a resolution passed to allow openly gay scouts in the Boy
Scouts of America at the Boy Scouts National Annual Meeting in Grapevine,Texas.
By David Crary
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Boy Scouts of America will get no
reprieve from controversy after a con-
tentious vote to accept openly gay boys as
Scouts.
Dismayed conservatives are already
looking at alternative youth groups as they
predict a mass exodus from the BSA. Gay-
rights supporters vowed Friday to maintain
pressure on the Scouts to end the still-in-
place ban on gay adults serving as leaders.
Theyre not on our good list yet, said
Paul Guequierre of the Human Rights
Campaign, a national gay-rights group. He
said the HRC, in its annual rankings of cor-
porate policies on workplace fairness,
would deduct points from companies that
donate to the Boy Scouts until the ban on
gay adults is lifted.
In California, gay-rights leaders said
they would continue urging passage of a
bill pending in the Legislature that would
make the BSA ineligible for nonprofit tax
breaks because of the remaining ban.
The Boy Scouts chief executive, Wayne
Brock, pleaded for the Scouting communi-
ty to reunite after the divisive debate that
led to Thursdays vote by the BSAs
National Council. The proposal to lift the
ban on openly gay youth while keeping
the ban on gay adults was supported by
about 60 percent of the councils 1,400
voting members.
However, Brocks plea failed to sway
some conservative religious leaders whose
denominations sponsor many Scout units
and who consider same-sex relationships
immoral.
Frankly, I cant imagine a Southern
Baptist pastor who would continue to allow
his church to sponsor a Boy Scout troop
under these new rules, Richard Land, a sen-
ior Southern Baptist Conference official,
told the SBCs news agency, Baptist Press.
Land advised Southern Baptist churches
to withdraw their support of Scout troops
and consider affiliating instead with the
Royal Ambassadors, an existing SBC
youth program for boys that combines reli-
gious ministry with Scouting-style activi-
ties.
Baptist churches sponsor Scout units
serving more than 100,000 of the BSAs
2.6 million youth members.

Residential estate can create some UNreal events that can create UNexpected results.
In November of last year, a home in Emerald Hills of Redwood City was under contract to a buyer for the
price of $700,000. UNfortunately for this buyer, the appraised value came in at the UNbelievably low value
of $650,000. This was $50,000 less than the purchase contract price and despite the best efforts to provide
the appraiser with valuable comparable information that would support the contract price, the appraised
value remained the same. The buyer lost the property.
The property was placed back on the market just after Thanksgiving. In an UNcanny turn of events, the
number of buyers increased tremendously in just the last 2 months of 2012. After one week on the market,
8 offers were received on the property. It closed escrow for the price of $770,000. This was a $120,000
turn around for the seller!

John King has been serving home sellers and buyers on The Peninsula and Silicon Valley for almost 30 years.
Top 1% of Keller Williams agents.
How is it possible for an appraisal to be this far off
the market value for the property in just 2 months?
Appraised value is mostly a look back at the price for
which recent comparable sales have closed. In an
UNtimely way, though, these are sales that occurred 30
to 60 days before the actual closing. This, in turn,
reflects the market from 2 to 6 months prior to that
when the property was first placed on the market.
In a year like 2012, which saw a big turn around in
value in the San Mateo County and Santa Clara County
residential markets, the market value continuously
outpaced the appraised value all year long.
The results for this one seller was, thankfully, UNreal!

NATION 7
By Nedra Pickler
ANNAPOLIS, Md. With a
growing sexual assault epidemic
staining the military, President
Barack Obama urged U.S. Naval
Academy graduates Friday to
remember their honor depends on
what they do when nobody is look-
ing and said the crime has no
place in the greatest military on
earth.
The commander in chief congrat-
ulated the 1,047 midshipmen grad-
uating at the Navy-Marine Corps
Memorial Stadium, telling the 841
men and 206 women that they have
proven themselves morally by
meeting rigorous standards at the
academy. But their commencement
celebration came in the midst of
reports of widespread sexual
assault throughout the military,
and Obama ended his 20-minute
address by recognizing how the
misconduct of some can have
effects that ripple far and wide.
Those who commit sexual
assault are not only committing a
crime, they threaten the trust and
discipline that makes our military
strong, Obama said. Thats why
we have to be determined to stop
these crimes, because theyve got
no place in the greatest military on
Earth.
His pointed comments were
aimed at rooting out the problem at
a time when Republicans have
been criticizing Obama for not
responding forcefully enough to
controversies including last years
deadly attack in Libya and political
targeting at the IRS. But Obama
was quick to express outrage over
the reports of sexual assault, say-
ing he has no tolerance for it. He
summoned military leaders to the
White House last week and
instructed them to lead a process to
root out the problem.
The Pentagon released a report
earlier this month estimating that
as many as 26,000 military mem-
bers may have been sexually
assaulted last year and that thou-
sands of victims are unwilling to
come forward despite new over-
sight and assistance programs.
That gure is an increase over the
19,000 estimated assaults in
2011.
Obama says sexual assault
threatens trust in military
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama left plenty of ambi-
guity in new policy guidelines that
he says will restrict how and when
the U.S. can launch targeted drone
strikes, leaving himself signi-
cant power over how and when the
weapons can be deployed.
National security experts say its
imperative to leave some room in
the guidelines, given the evolving
ght against terrorism. But civil
rights advocates argue too little
has been revealed about the pro-
gram to ensure its legality, even as
the president takes steps to remove
some of the secrecy.
Obama said that there would be
more limits on targeted killings, a
step in the right direction, said
Kenneth Roth, executive director
at Human Rights Watch. But a
mere promise that the US will work
within established guidelines that
remain secret provides little con-
dence that the US is complying
with international law.
An unclassied version of the
newly established drone guidelines
was made public Thursday in con-
junction with Obamas wide-rang-
ing address on U.S. counterterror-
ism policies. Congress
Intelligence committees and the
Capitol Hill leadership have been
briefed on the more detailed, clas-
sied policies, but because those
documents are secret, theres no
way of knowing how much more
clarity they provide.
The president has already been
using some of the guidelines to
determine when to launch drone
strikes, administration officials
said.
Presidents drone rules leave
many unanswered questions
By Andrew Taylor

WASHINGTON A long-sim-
mering feud between establish-
ment Republicans and tea partyers
broke into full view, with Sen.
John McCain accusing younger
colleagues of overplaying their
hands and tempting Democrats to
change Senate rules that protect
the minority party.
Tactics for dealing with the gov-
ernments budget and debt became
the latest quarrel in a series of skir-
mishes between McCain some-
times joined by other traditional-
ist Republicans and tea party
champions such as Ted Cruz of
Texas, Rand Paul of Kentucky,
Mike Lee of Utah and Marco Rubio
of Florida.
Those four won Senate seats by
defying the party establishment,
and theyre shaking up the tradi-
tion-bound Senate with no-com-
promise, no-apology stands on
key issues like debt and decits,
government spending and the use
of drones in the war on terrorism.
McCain himself has defied
Republican orthodoxy at times.
But he was the partys 2008 presi-
dential nominee, and he now is
among those who say a minority
party will accomplish little in the
Senate if it cant nd ways to cut
deals with the majority.
Tea party vs. old guard in GOP Senate rift
Those who commit sexual assault are
not only committing a crime, they threaten the trust
and discipline that makes our military strong. ...Thats why
we have to be determined to stop these crimes, because
theyve got no place in the greatest military on Earth.

Toronto mayor denies he smokes crack cocaine
TORONTO Toronto Mayor Rob Ford denied Friday that
he smokes crack cocaine and said he is not an addict after a
video purported to show him using the
drug. The mayor of Canadas largest city
did not say whether he has ever used
crack.
Ford did not take questions from
reporters at a news conference at City
Hall held after a week of silence and after
close allies released a letter urging him
to address the video. The video apparent-
ly shows Ford smoking crack.
I do not use crack cocaine, nor am I an
addict of crack cocaine, Ford said. As for a video, I cannot
comment on a video that I have never seen, or does not
exist.
Ford had been ducking the media and his only comments
before Friday on the scandal came a week ago, a day after the
story broke, when he called the crack smoking allegations
ridiculous and said the Toronto Star newspaper was out to
get him.
North Korean envoy
delivers letter to Chinas president
BEIJING Atop North Korean envoy has delivered a let-
ter from leader Kim Jong Un to Chinese President Xi
Jinping and told him Pyongyang would take steps to rejoin
stalled nuclear disarmament talks, in an apparent victory
for Beijings efforts to coax its unruly ally into lowering
tensions.
North Korean Vice Marshal Choe Ryong Haes three-day
visit was seen as a fence-mending mission after Pyongyang
angered Beijing with recent snubs and moves to develop its
nuclear program. Choe returned to North Korea late Friday.
The ofcial China News Service said Choe delivered the
handwritten letter from Kim to Xi at an afternoon meeting
at the Great Hall of the People in central Beijing.

SACRAMENTO Debt collectors
would have to make sure they are going
after the right person under a bill
approved by the state Senate on
Friday.
Democratic Sen. Mark Leno of San
Francisco said some unscrupulous
debt-buyers dont care who they target.
They might lure innocent parties
into court to obtain default judgments
that let them seize property or garnish
wages including from consumers
who never owed the debt to begin with.
They are not required to have any
documentation that the person theyre
trying to collect from is actually the
right person, Leno said. The busi-
ness model is that they just want to get
you into court because its likely
youre not going to show up if you
know its not your debt ... They can
take control of your life and make
things miserable, and these are often-
times innocent, if not in fact the
wrong people altogether.
Even a Southern California state
lawmaker found himself a victim of
mistaken identity when a collection
agency arranged to have his Senate
salary garnished to pay off a debt that
wasnt his.
Sen. Lou Correa, D-Anaheim, said he
was able to correct the problem, but
said other consumers are falling victim
to improperly obtained court orders.
The bill requires debt-buyers to have
proper documentation and provide it to
the targeted consumers upon request,
among other protections.
Simply what it says is, you need to
prove that the debt that is owed is actu-
ally legitimate debt, said Correa.
If it can happen to Lou Correa, it
can happen to you, warned Leno.
Senators passed SB233 unanimous-
l y, sending it to the Assembly.
Attorney General Kamala Harris
sought the measure, which applies to a
debt buyer who purchases what is
known as charged-off consumer debt
for collection purposes. Charged-off
debt is consumer debt that the creditor
writes off as a loss or expense, then
sells to a third party.
The debt buyer would be prohibited
from sending a written collection
notice to the consumer without having
the full history of the debt, the contract
that created the debt, and identifying
information on the debtor, including
the name, address and account number.
The debt buyer would have to provide
all that information to the consumer
within 15 days, upon request, or stop
trying to collect the debt.
California bill would require
correct ID in debt-collections
Rob Ford
The business model is that they just want to get
you into court because its likely youre not going
to show up if you know its not your debt ...They
can take control of your life and make things
miserable, and these are oftentimes innocent, if
not in fact the wrong people altogether.

SACRAMENTO Afederal appeals
court on Friday denied a second request
by California doctors, pharmacists
and hospitals seeking to undo the
states 10 percent provider rate cut for
treating the poor.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals denied an appeal from med-
ical providers to rehear their case,
which allows Gov. Jerry Brown to
begin implementing the cuts retroac-
tively. A three-judge panel had ruled
against them in December on the
grounds that trial courts cannot block
the state from making cuts that were
approved by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human
Services.
Health providers
vowed they will
continue to press
lawmakers to
restore the 10 per-
cent reimbursement
rate cut to the states
Medicaid program,
known as Medi-Cal.
While we are not surprised by the
9th Circuit Court ruling, we are cer-
tainly disappointed, as the 10 percent
cut to Medi-Cal will have devastating
effects on Californias poorest and
most vulnerable patients, said Paul
Phinney, president of the California
Medical Association, in a statement.
Phinney said the state needs com-
petitive Medi-Cal payments as the
state prepares to get millions of
Californians health coverage under
the Affordable Care Act. The associa-
tion, which represents 35,000 doc-
tors, says ongoing cuts have left doc-
tors with little option but to stop tak-
ing qualified patients because the
reimbursements do not meet the cost
of overhead and supplies to treat
them.
Reversal of these cuts is a
California priority, said Duane
Dauner, president of the California
Hospital Association, in a statement.
Fridays decision cements a budget
victory for Brown, who has vowed to
hold the line on spending.

OPINION 9
Round one
Editor,
Just a quick shoutout to all my fellow
conservative voters in San Mateo
County. The 9 to 0, non-elected demo-
cratic panel is set to have their rst
meeting regarding carving up the ve
different county voting districts. The
date of the meeting is Thursday, June 6
at 6:30 p.m. The location will be at the
Martin Luther King Jr. Center in San
Mateo.
Call me crazy but somehow I dont
get the sense that a lot of my fellow
conservatives will be making that rst
meeting. I do, however, encourage con-
servatives to come out and watch their
county get divvied up and their voting
power diluted by a panel that was
appointed by a committee of one per-
son with not one conservative voice
on it. Watch the unopposed liberal
machine at work in your very own
county. It will be fun for the whole
family. Hope to see you there.

Is Apple bad?
Editor,
Is Apple bad? I pay good money to a
competent accountant to save me all
the money that he can legally. Apple is
no different, their tax people do the
same thing. The real villain here is the
voluminous tax code (thousands of
pages). Who is responsible for the tax
code? Congress writes the rules, the
IRS just follows them. Maybe if
Congress didnt allow so many loop-
holes, people wouldnt use them. Its
time to reconsider the at tax rate. At
the same time, we could do away with
anything tax exempt including church-
es, charities, unions and other non-
prot organizations. Corporations
would pay at tax on prots. All
income including welfare, disability,
other entitlements and pensions should
be taxed at the same rate. It doesnt
matter where the income comes from,
income is income regardless.

Cash can be used
in any way one wishes
Editor,
Corporations such as Microsoft,
Cisco, Google and others have been
criticized by some for hoarding cash
and not investing it. The top 10 most
cash-rich corporations have about
$530.345 billion in cash. Only about
11.1 percent is held in actual cash i.e.
funds that are so liquid that they can be
turned into checks immediately. The
rest is invested in instruments of vary-
ing maturity such as bank deposits,
bankers acceptances, bills of
exchange, cash equivalents, certicates
of deposit, corporate bonds, deposits,
government bonds, marketable securi-
ties, money market funds, mortgage
and asset-backed securities, non-U.S.
government and agency securities,
repurchase agreements, time deposits
and treasury bills.
No CFO or treasurer would let signi-
cant amounts of money sit around
uninvested. There also seems to be
some confusion about money and cur-
rency. Money is something generally
accepted as a medium of exchange, a
measure of value or a means of pay-
ment. Currency (coins, treasury notes)
in circulation is used as a medium of
exchange only. Individuals, businesses
and corporations have the right to earn
money through any legal means. Once
they have paid all taxes required, they
can use their money in any legal way;
consume, invest, contribute to charity
or even give away on a street corner.
Likewise, since they own their curren-
cy, they can use it in any legal way.

Free choice
Editor,
I am writing in response to letter
writer Diamond McMillian, (The right
location for Planned Parenthood in
the May 21 edition of the Daily
Journal).
As the letter stated, women have
have a right to free choice, but what
about the free choice of the baby in the
womb? Chemical abortion is not only
killing the baby, but could hurt and
possibly kill the mother too. The mil-
lions of babies killed could have, if
allowed to live, discovered a cure for
cancer and AIDS.
If you really are considering women,
you would try to protect them and their
babies, allowing them to live and not
die. Thats love.

Letters to the editor

B
usiness gurus come and go,
trendy theories have their
moment in the sun and then
fade, but some management wisdom is
eternal. Such as: Establish best prac-
tices clear guidelines that discour-
age inefciency. Dont give people
incentives to act badly. Make sure
meaningful oversight exists to ensure
shoddy work is prevented. Make sure
your organizations goals are in sync.
In well-run institutions, such a
smart approach is the norm. In poorly
run institutions, the lack of such
smarts yields constant headaches.
Which brings us to, yes, state
government. Several recent news
reports offer fresh reasons for resi-
dents to groan and wonder what
they did to deserve the people run-
ning Sacramento.
Aseries of state audits has found
that more than 500 hundred adminis-
trators receiving executive salaries
for full-time jobs have also worked
hourly on lucrative part-time govern-
ment assignments, in clear contra-
vention of state civil-service rules.
This practice has gone on for years, at
least partly because oftentimes the
people who should have been expect-
ed to report the egregious double-dip-
ping were beneting from it.
Safety issues have been found with
hundreds of bolts and with corrosion
on many parts of the new $6.4 billion
east span of the San Francisco-
Oakland Bay Bridge problems so
severe it now appears unlikely to
open as scheduled in September.
Caltrans has long downplayed con-
cerns, but several independent experts
reject the agencys upbeat assess-
ments of its work. They offer
scathing critiques of Caltrans failure
to follow basic construction standards
for large maritime projects and warn
of safety nightmares in years ahead.
Online learning in K-12 public
education has been steadily increas-
ing, especially in higher grades, with
the strong support of Gov. Jerry
Brown. But Browns new budget elim-
inates dedicated funding for the key
state program that evaluates online
courses effectiveness.
This doesnt make sense. Nor does
trusting Caltrans to do its own safety
reviews. Nor does trusting state exec-
utives to end double-dipping by state
executives. But in the Golden State,
its what weve come to expect. Its
the California way.
California where best practices are shunned
More kudos
to our schools
By Steve Okamoto
A
s a member of the Foster City Council and a
longtime resident, I have always been proud that
we have some of the top schools in the state
right here in our backyards. Recently, Bowditch Middle
School was named a California Distinguished School.
Two schools in our district, Bayside S.T.E.M. Academy
and Beresford Elementary School, received prestigious
San Mateo County Kent Awards for outstanding and inno-
vative education. Our students are achieving on statewide
exams, and test scores in reading and math continue to
increase.
I have been engaged in a community
process to ensure that our San Mateo-
Foster City Elementary School District
remains among the best. Our schools
face challenges that, as neighbors, we
must address together to continue to
provide a strong educational founda-
tion for our communitys children.
This is why I am supportive of the
school districts plans to explore a community school
bond, which would help address these challenges by
relieving school overcrowding; upgrading classrooms,
science labs and libraries; upgrading technology for
higher, 21st-century academic standards; and improving
energy efciency to save our schools approximately $1
million per year.
Its no secret that our great schools attract new families
to our neighborhoods, which is a benet to our property
values. Yet, the result also has been a dramatic increase in
student enrollment in Foster City and our neighboring
community of San Mateo. In fact, the typical elementary
school in our area was built for 300 students. Now, many
of our schools serve more than 500 students.
The school district has done its due diligence and creat-
ed a student Enrollment Management Plan through com-
munity collaboration, careful study and planning. To
learn more about the EMP, please visit the superinten-
dents page on the districts website,
www.smfc.k12.ca.us.
I participated in the Superintendents Committee on
Overcrowding RElief, or SCORE, which through a public
process determined the best solution to alleviate over-
crowding in Foster City schools. The plan would recon-
gure and rebuild Bowditch Middle School to accommo-
date more students. Also included in the EMP is a solution
to address overcrowding in San Mateo: modernize and
reopen Knolls Elementary School, which is currently not
in use.
State and national standards for education are consis-
tently evolving, becoming more rigorous and technolo-
gy-based. We must ensure our students are prepared to
compete in our global, high-tech economy. Aschool
bond measure would help provide classroom technology
and computer labs to make modern science, technology
and math lessons a part of everyday classroom instruc-
tion to prepare students for future success.
Some local schools require basic repairs and upgrades
to classrooms, labs and libraries for safer and more mod-
ern learning environments. Additionally, our schools
have the opportunity to improve energy efciency to
save nearly $1 million per year. These savings could be
used to support academic programs and classroom instruc-
tion.
I am impressed that the district is committed to includ-
ing key accountability provisions to help ensure funds
from this measure would be maximized and spent wisely.
The measure would make our local schools eligible for
future state matching funds which would otherwise go to
other communities. No funds from the measure could be
spent on administrators salaries. ACitizens Oversight
Committee and annual, third-party audits give me the
condence that funds will be used only on voter-approved
purposes.
I continue to be supportive of the districts discussions
to place a school improvement bond measure on the
November 2013 ballot because it is the right thing for
our community and our schools. To keep our community
strong, we must provide a strong education and safe
classrooms for local children. If you would like more
information about this measure, please join me in attend-
ing the local board meetings and get involved.

NEWYORK Major stock indexes
closed out their rst weekly loss in a
month in quiet trading Friday.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
dropped 0.91 of a point to close at
1,649.60. The Dow Jones industrial
average rose 8.60 points to 15,303, a
gain of 0.1 percent. Procter & Gamble
supported the Dow with an increase of
4 percent.
Both indexes had their rst weekly
losses since the week ending April 19.
A disappointing manufacturing report
out of China and a sharp fall in Japans
stock market rattled investors nerves
this week. But anxiety over the Federal
Reserves bond-buying program was
the main culprit. Some investors inter-
preted comments from Fed ofcials to
mean that the bank may start pulling
its support for the economy sooner
than they expected.
The S&P 500, widely used by mutual
funds as a proxy for the stock market,
lost 1.1 percent for the week. Its still
up 15.7 percent for the year.
Marty Leclerc, the managing partner
of Barrack Yard Advisors, an invest-
ment rm in Bryn Mawr, Pa., said the
weekly drop wasnt cause for concern.
Even market rallies have to take the
occasional break, he said.
Its up like a rocket blast this year,
Leclerc said of the stock market. For
there to be a little bit of a pullback is
perfectly understandable.
The market headed lower at the start
of trading on Friday, then spent the rest
of the day slowly recovering ground.
By the closing bell, market indexes
were roughly back to where they start-
ed.
Procter & Gamble announced late
Thursday that its bringing back its for-
mer CEO, A.G. Laey, to run the com-
pany. The worlds largest consumer-
products maker, whose brands include
Tide and Crest, is trying to increase
sales in the face of tough competition.
P&G rose $3.18 to $81.88.
Sears plunged 14 percent after the
department-store chain reported a steep
quarterly loss and slumping sales after
the market closed Thursday. Sears lost
$7.92 to $50.25.
The Nasdaq composite slipped 0.27
of a point to 3,459.14.
Eight of the 10 industry groups in
the S&P500 fell. Only nancial stocks
and consumer staples makers rose.
The stock market slipped Friday
despite an encouraging report on U.S.
manufacturing. The government said
orders for long-lasting goods rebound-
ed in April, helped by demand for air-
craft and stronger business spending.
The report suggests economic growth
may hold steady this spring.
Until this week, signs of slow but
steady economic growth and record
prots for big companies had propelled
stock-market indexes to all-time
highs.
All but 11 companies in the S&P500
have posted their rst-quarter earnings,
and the results have turned out much
better than expected. Nearly seven of
10 have reported higher earnings than
analysts had estimated. Overall prot s
in the rst quarter are on track to climb
5 percent over the year before.
In the market for U.S. government
bonds, the yield on the 10-year
Treasury note dipped to 2.01 percent
from 2.02 percent late Thursday.
The price of crude oil slipped 10
cents to settle at $94.15 a barrel, end-
ing with a drop of $1.87 for the week.
Gold lost $5.20 to $1,386.60 an
ounce.

NEWYORK This summer, high rollers
are ying to lavish hot spots for their vaca-
tions. The rest of us are driving to less lux-
urious places like nearby campgrounds.
The good news: At some U.S. camp-
grounds these days you get live bands, air
guitar contests and chocolate pudding slip
n slides.
Americans plans for summer travel mir-
ror the current state of the economy. Rising
home prices and a soaring stock market are
encouraging those at the top of the income
ladder to take more extravagant trips. But
large segments of the population are stay-
ing close to home because wages are stag-
nant, rents are high and the end of the pay-
roll tax holiday has shrunk their take-home
pay.
For a travel industry still stinging from
the Great Recession, that likely means
another summer of steady, but slow, recov-
ery.
AAA, one of the nations largest leisure
travel agencies, isnt expecting a resound-
ing start to vacation season this Memorial
Day. Citing the up and down economy,
AAAexpects 31.2 million Americans to hit
the road this weekend, virtually the same
number as last year. Throw in planes, trains
and buses, and the number of travelers will
drop about 1 percent, AAAsays.
As vacationers set out this summer, heres
what they can expect:
Gas prices about the same as last year.
The national average price of gasoline was
$3.65 a gallon Friday, 1 cent higher than
during last years Memorial Day weekend.
Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at
GasBuddy.com, expects prices to drift lower
after the holiday and fall close to last sum-
mers low of $3.33 per gallon before hurri-
cane season starts to drag them up again.
More expensive hotel rooms. The aver-
age hotel will cost $112.21, before taxes
and any other add-on such as resort fees.
Thats up 4.4 percent from last years
$107.52, according to hotel research rm
STR. Hotels are also expected to be slightly
fuller, with occupancy rates climbing from
69.3 percent last summer to 70 percent this
year.
Packed planes, steady airfare. Airlines
for America, the industrys lobby group,
expects 208.7 million people to y, up 1
percent from last year. About 87 percent of
airplane seats will be lled with paying pas-
sengers. Domestic iers will pay $421 on
average for a round trip ticket, down $6
from last summer. International iers will
pay $1,087, up $8, according to the
Airlines Reporting Corp.
Amtrak expects to meet or exceed the 8.3
million passengers it carried last summer.
But the taxpayer-backed railroad wouldnt
disclose how fares compare with last sum-
mers average one-way ticket of $66.39.
Mike Klopp, a commercial insurance
salesman in Irvine, Calif., is starting to feel
better about the economy. He and his wife
plan to take their three kids on a vacation
up the coast to Monterey in August a trip
they skipped last year.
But Klopp says local trips are the limit
because theyre cheaper. Like many others,
hes not yet willing to splurge on a dream
vacation.
Summer travel forecast: Better, but no blowout

LOS ANGELES Online video site Hulu
is again up for sale, with Yahoo and pay TV
operators DirecTV and Time Warner Cable
among the seven bidders, according to a
person with direct knowledge of the matter.
The person wasnt authorized to speak
publicly and spoke Friday on condition of
anonymity, after several news outlets
reported on the bidding.
The person didnt offer details on the
prices offered. Published reports have
pegged a bid by a group led by former News
Corp. executive Peter Chernin at $500 mil-
lion. The other three bidders were all pri-
vate equity rms: Kohlberg Kravis Roberts
& Co.; Guggenheim Partners; and Silver
Lake, in partnership with talent agency
William Morris Endeavor, according to the
person.
The person said the bidders would be nar-
rowed down in the coming weeks.
The Walt Disney Co. and News Corp.
control Hulu through their broadcast sub-
sidiaries, ABC and Fox. Comcast Corp.,
owner of NBC, is also an investor,
although it gave up its say in Hulus affairs
as a condition of its purchase of
NBCUniversal in 2011.
Hulus owners tried to sell the site before,
but decided against it in 2011 after months
of entertaining outside offers. Talk of a sale
resurfaced after CEO Jason Kilar announced
in January that he would step down at the
end of March. Since then, Hulu has been led
by interim CEO Andy Forssell.
Its owners have struggled over the right
strategy for the service. It offers free view-
ing of recent episodes of broadcast network
shows like ABCs Modern Family or
NBCs Saturday Night Live with ads, but
those episodes are also available else-
where, such as on the networks own web-
sites. The paid version, called Hulu Plus,
provides access to a deeper catalog and
allows viewing on mobile devices and
Internet-connected TVs, but several net-
works including ABC and NBC have devel-
oped apps that allow full episode viewing
on mobile devices for free.

Walmart to sell
frozen Fatburger patties
NEW YORK Fatburger, a chain with a
devoted following on the West Coast, said
Friday it will sell its branded frozen beef
patties in Walmart stores nationwide.
The Beverly Hills, Calif.-based chain said
the beef patties are in select stores now and
will roll out nationally over the next sever-
al weeks.
Fatburger, which was founded in 1952,
has about 150 locations globally; half of
those are in the U.S., primarily on the West
Coast. The chain is owned by Fog Cutter
Capital Group Inc.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., based in
Bentonville, Ark., has more than 4,000
U.S. locations but said the Fatburger patties
will be available in 3,100 stores. A Wal-
Mart representative did not immediately
know why the remainder of the stores would-
nt carry the items.
Andy Wiederhorn, CEO of Fatburger, said
the patties will be sold in packs of six for
about $7 to $8. He said theyll have a high-
er fat content of about 30 percent since
theyre intended for barbecuing. The burgers
sold in restaurants have a fat content of
about 20 percent, he said.
A Fatburger burger with cheese in restau-
rants costs about $5.50.

Serras Neil Sterling, above left, has been on re inCCS. Hes batting a robust .750 (6 for 8) with two home runs, a double, eight RBIs and four runs scored. Menlo School pitcher Jack Redman,
above right, has thrown in all three Knights post-season games, going 2-0 and recording a save.
Serra, Menlo play for CCS titles
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Consider it the ultimate rubber match.
When second-seeded Serra and top-seeded
St. Francis meet in the Central Coast
Section Division I championship game 7
p.m. Saturday at San Jose Municipal
Stadium, it will be the third meeting of the
year between the two teams.
The Padres stunned the Lancers March 22,
coming back from a 6-1, rst-inning decit
to record a 10-9 win. In their second regular-
season meeting, April 26, St. Francis pum-
meled Serra 13-3.
If Serra is to win its rst CCS title since
2009, the Padres will need to nd a way to
slow down a St. Francis offense that scored
22 runs against the Padres.
Theyre very good, said Serra manager
Craig Gianinno of the Lancers. We just
have to continue to play our game. We have
the condence our pitchers are ready to
compete and make pitches. [The Lancers
have] a very good offensive lineup. But we
have very good pitching to combat that.
Serra will be buoyed by the fact its pitch-
ing has been nails in CCS. The Padres
advanced to the championship game with
an 11-0 win over No. 15 Sequoia, during
which starting pitcher Matt Gorgolinski
red a ve-inning no-hitter. In the quarter-
nals Saturday against No. 7 Homestead,

As if winning a Central Coast Section
title isnt enough incentive, the Menlo
School baseball team has plenty of other
motivation when the Knights face No. 2-
seed Pacic Grove in the CCS Division III
championship game 4 p.m. Saturday at San
Jose Municipal Stadium.
The fth-seeded Knights will be looking
for some payback against the Breakers. Last
year in the nals, the Breakers prevented
Menlo from winning a third-straight sec-
tion title when they rallied from 4-0 decit
to beat the Knights 10-6. The Breakers used
a six-run fourth to propel them to the win.
On top of all that, the Knights are the lat-
est team to try to do what no other team has
accomplished this season hand Pacic
Grove its rst loss of the year. With one
more win, the Breakers would become the
rst team in CCS history to go undefeated.
The closest any team came was the 1977 El
Camino team that went 28-1 to capture the
section championship.
If nothing else, Menlo has been battled
tested during its run to the championship
game. In the Knights first-round game
against No. 12-seed Carmel, Mikey
Diekroeger singled in the winning run in
the bottom of the seventh inning to give
Menlo a 3-2 win. In the quarternals, a run-

Half Moon Bay has used that age-old formula
for softball success in advancing to the Central
Coast Section Division III championship
game: phenomenal pitching, strong defense
and clutch hitting.
All three have been on display as the Cougars
nd themselves in the title game for the rst
time since 2003. This year marks the rst time
since 2008 the Cougars have qualied for CCS.
After a rst-round bye, the second-seeded
Cougars beat No. 12 Carmel 4-1 in the quarter-
nals and dispatched No. 3 Soquel 2-0 in the
seminals Tuesday.
Lyndsay Klimenko has put the Cougars on
her shoulders in the postseason. The Cal State-
Bakerseld commit has held two strong teams
in check. In the seminals, she held the
Knights to four hits while striking out nine.
That performance was a far cry from her rst
CCS appearance, when she allowed 11 hits to
Carmel.
This will be Half Moon Bays sixth appear-
ance in the championship game. In their four
previous nals 2003, 2001, 2000 and
1992 the Cougars lost to Notre Dame-
Salinas. The Cougars have lost to the Spirit by
a combined score of 10-1 in those champi-
onship games.
The Cougars opponent Saturday? Notre
Dame-Salinas, of course. The Spirit are one of
the most decorated programs in CCS history.
They have been in 13 championship games
and have a record of 12-1, losing only to
Capuchino in 1994. From 1999 to 2006, Notre
Dame-Salinas won eight championships in a
row.
Unlike the Half Moon Bay offense, the No.
8-seeded Spirit have been on re at the plate. In
three games, they have scored a total of 27
runs. They beat No. 13 Menlo 11-0 in the rst
round and followed that with an 11-4 win over
No. 5 Seaside in the quarternals. They then
knocked off defending champion and top-seed-
ed Santa Catalina 15-2 in the seminals
Wednesday.
The Spirit have been feast or famine this sea-
son. They opened the season on a nine-game
winning streak, but that was followed by a four-
game losing streak in late March/early April.
They rebounded to win their next six games,
but then had a four-game slide late in the sea-
son. They came into CCS on a two-game win-
ning streak.

SAN JOSE The San Jose
Sharks are glad to be returning
home.
Sharks coach Todd McLellan
anticipates a few minor adjust-
ments and no big personnel
changes as San Jose looks to
rebound from Thursday nights 3-0
loss at the Los Angeles Kings in
their Western Conference seminal
series.
The Sharks, who held a team
meeting and optional ice time
Friday, return home down 3-2 to the
defending Stanley Cup champions.
Game 6 is Sunday night. The
home team has won the rst ve
games of the series.
Were good at home, San Jose
forward Joe Pavelski said. We
want to take care of business on
home ice and then roll the dice in
Game 7 because I think we can
bring it.
McLellan called Thursdays loss
the teams weakest effort yet in the
playoffs and was determined to
reverse that in time for a chance to
force Game 7.
We have been resilient the last
month and a half, McLellan said.
Weve brought it when needed.
This is another chance for that. The
true advantage at home is your fans.
They give you extra energy, extra
step.
McLellan said the poor effort has
something to do with Los Angeles
and a lot had to do with San Jose,
he said. We didnt have our legs.
Some days you wake up and know
you have it. Other days you cant
walk around the block. Its just
magnied in the playoffs.
There are a few options available
for McLellan. Veteran forward Adam
Burish, out since Game 2 against
Vancouver, has been practicing and
could be available. Defender Jason
Demers had his rst action of the
playoffs Thursday night, though it
was a limited appearance as a for-
ward.
Sharks forward Logan Couture
credited Kings goalie Jonathan
Quick with limiting scoring oppor-
tunities.
He takes a lot of them away from
you, Couture said. We still had
enough chances, but we shot it into
him too. When you score zero
youre never going to win and it
has happened twice already. It does-
nt matter if youre playing a little
or a lot, you have to nd a way to
score.
The Sharks were one of the top
power-play teams in the league dur-
ing the regular season and carried
that over into the playoffs, until
they ran into Quick.
Only the Pittsburgh Penguins
have scored more power-plays
goals (12) than the Sharks (10), but
the Kings never allowed the Sharks
breathing room.
They did what they had to do and
now we have to respond, Sharks
center Scott Gomez said. We have
guys who have gone through this
before. We still cant try to do too
much. We have to stick with the
game plan.
TJ Galiardo said no one was
happy with the way they played.
This is the one we didnt deserve
to win, Galiardo said. Their
defenders were active and jumped in
to nish the forecheck. It seems the
way the power play has gone, thats
the way the games have gone. Its
just execution. We have to be ready
for whatever they throw at us.

Mark Appel cemented his place
in the Stanford record books in
style.
With a rst-inning, three-pitch
punchout of UCLA leadoff hitter
Brian Carroll, Appel became
Stanfords all-time strikeout
leader. The senior right-hander
went on to strikeout the side in the
rst, and totaled nine in the game
as the Cardinal downed No. 8-
ranked UCLA 2-1 Friday night at
Sunken Diamond.
People have been talking about
it strike out the rst guy and
make it memorable, Appel said.
But I dont know. Just going into
the game I was preparing the same
as any other game. I know this is a
big weekend for us. A series win
this weekend would be awesome
for our postseason chances. I just
knew I was trying to come out here
and give our team a chance to
win.
Stanford (31-21 overall, 15-13
in Pac-12) is looking to sweep
this weekends three-game set
with UCLA, which would give the
Cardinal the best chance of earn-
ing a postseason bid. The eld of
64 for the road to Omaha will be
decided Monday, the day after the
completion of the Division I regu-
lar season.
Every win is big, Stanford
manager Mark Marquess said.
Theres so many things out of
your control (in qualifying for the
playoffs at this point) the only
thing we can try to control is play-
ing well. We got a great pitching
performance from Mark, and got a
big hit from [Austin Slater], and
weve got two more (games) left.

HOUSTON Chris Young connected on a
three-run homer in the ninth inning to lift the
Oakland Athletics to a 6-5 win over the
Houston Astros on Friday night.
Young, who grew up in Houston, is hitting
just .189 this season. But hes a career .418
hitter at Minute Maid Park with seven home
runs and 27 RBIs in 19 games in his home-
town.
The As trailed 5-3 before closer Jose Veras
(0-3) walked two of the rst three batters of
the inning to set the table for Young. He
turned on a curveball to put Oakland up 6-5.
Young stood at the plate for a couple of sec-
onds admiring the towering shot before head-
ing to rst base.
Seth Smith had a solo pinch-hit homer for
Oakland in the sixth inning.
Pat Neshek (1-0) pitched a scoreless eighth
for the win and Grant Balfour walked two in
the ninth before getting his 10th save. He
has converted 28 straight save opportunities
since last season.
J.D. Martinez hit a three-run homer and
Matt Dominguez also homered in a ve-run
fth inning for the Astros, who fell to 0-7
against Oakland this season.
The Athletics were up by two before
Dominguez got Houstons big fth inning
going with his rst-pitch home run off
Tommy Milone. Jose Altuve tied it with an
RBI single before Martinez homered for the
second straight game to give the Astros a 5-2
lead.
Houston starter Erik Bedard yielded four
hits and two runs in ve innings. He gave up
both runs in the rst inning before settling
down.
Milone became the fourth straight Oakland
starter to last seven innings. He gave up eight
hits and ve runs with six strikeouts.
By scoring ve runs, the Astros ended a
streak of Oakland allowing three or fewer runs
in six straight games.
Coco Crisp drew a leadoff walk before
Young extended his hitting streak against the
Astros to 15 games with a single. An RBI sin-
gle by Yoenis Cespedes put Oakland up 1-0.
Bedard then plunked Josh Donaldson
before retiring Derek Norris for the rst out.
Luke Montz then grounded into a force out
and Young scored to make it 2-0.
Houston couldnt do much against Milone
early and he retired 14 of the rst 16 batters
he faced. He struck out the rst two batters of
the fth inning before Dominguez launched
his fth homer of the season to the back of
the Crawford Boxes to cut the lead to 2-1.

SAN FRANCISCO Michael Cuddyer
homered and hit a two-run double after com-
ing off the disabled list, Tyler Chatwood
beat San Francisco for the second time in
seven days and the Colorado Rockies
blanked the Giants 5-0 on Friday night.
Carlos Gonzalez also hit a solo homer and
D.J. LeMahieu added an RBI single as the
Rockies beat two-time NL Cy Young Award
winner Tim Lincecum for the second time in
a week.
The Rockies, swept in a three-game series
at AT&TPark last month, won their fourth in
a row in the rivalry for the rst time since
2006.
Cuddyers two-out double in the rst gave
Colorado a quick cushion, then he connected
for his eighth home run with a solo shot
leading off the sixth. He also scored three
runs after returning to the Rockies lineup
from the 15-day disabled list.
Cuddyer, batting fth and playing right
eld after missing time with an inamed cer-
vical disk, went 2 for 4 with three RBIs.
Gonzalez homered leading off the eighth
against Sandy Rosario, Gonzalezs team-
leading 12th clout.
The Rockies snapped a nine-game losing
streak at AT&TPark with their rst win since
Aug. 10, 2012. San Francisco was shut out
at home for the rst time since that same
game, also started and won by Chatwood.
Lincecum struck out eight and walked two
over seven innings in his second consecu-
tive start against Colorado and third in all
this year.
The right-hander allowed four runs and
seven hits after taking the loss against the
Rockies at Coors Field last Saturday.
He has defeats in four of his past ve deci-
sions. He has allowed 16 earned runs in his
past 18 innings against the Rockies this
season for an 8.00 ERA.
Chatwood allowed four hits in six score-
less innings, struck out four and walked one
in another lopsided Rockies result against
the reigning World Series champions.
Colorado shut out San Francisco 5-0 in the
series nale in Denver last Sunday.
The Rockies (27-21) remained in a rst-
place tie with Arizona atop the NL West
standings after the Diamondbacks beat San
Diego in Phoenix, with the Giants one game
back.
San Franciscos Marco Scutaro went 0 for
3 after having hit safely in each of his pre-
vious 15 games against Colorado, his for-
mer club before being traded to the Giants
last July. But the Giants generated few
opportunities against Chatwood and the
Colorado bullpen.
Wilton Lopez, the Rockies third reliever,
nished the ve-hit shutout.
San Francisco failed to hit a home run for
just the second time in its past nine home
games.

LONDON Bayern Munich is
trying to downplay being the
favorite.
While Borussia Dortmund is
eager to play up its chances to pull
off the upset.
Even before the start of
Saturdays Champions League nal,
the German rivals are at odds in
their approach to the biggest game
in club soccer.
Bayern is approaching its third
nal in four years with the self-
assured calm of a team in control
after a season of dominance, while
Dortmund is enjoying the role of
underdog.
Bayern winger Thomas Mueller
summed up his sides mood on
Friday, saying that the matchup is
just a normal Champion League
game.
Of course you get goose bumps
when youre on the pitch and we
know whats at stake. We wont let
it drive us crazy though, the 23-
year-old said.
Bayern captain Philipp Lahm felt
the same way.
The players are the right age
now, the right character. Theres
nothing against us winning tomor-
row, said Lahm, who added that he
wouldnt be surprised if Bayern
reached a fourth nal in ve years
next season.
Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp is
happy with one.
If this is the only nal in my
life, this is the perfect place for it,
and this is the perfect opponent,
said Klopp, who spoke of the
honor of playing at Wembley
Stadium.
Klopp said it was clear his team
enters as the underdog, but he added
that his players were determined to
make the most of their opportuni-
t y.
We will approach the game with
unbridled enthusiasm, with huge
motivation for the task, and with
the knowledge it can all go to
pieces, Klopp said.
But people have climbed Mount
Everest knowing that they could
fall 3 meters from the top and yet
they still tried it. And thats why
were going to try too, and hope for
good weather.
Actually, London greeted both
teams with traditional British
weather, and the unrelenting drizzle
helped contribute to trafc prob-
lems that delayed both sidesarrival
for their run outs on the pitch.
Klopp said the team received a
police escort from the airport and
if were to make it on time for the
game tomorrow well need another.
So if someone knows a policeman,
please ask.

nal Saturday at Wembley Stadium.
LONDON Three years after los-
ing his unbeaten record and WBC
super-middleweight title to Danish
ghter Mikkel Kessler, Carl Froch
has the chance to make amends at
home.
Froch and Kessler meet Saturday
night at Londons O2 Arena in a uni-
cation bout. Froch holds the IBF title
and Kessler is the current WBAcham-
pion.
Since losing on points to Kessler
after 12 brutal rounds in Denmark in
2010, Froch has enjoyed an impres-
sive resurgence and improved his
career record to 30-2.
The English ghter regained his
WBC title with a unanimous victory
over Arthur Abraham in the Super Six
Series, stopped the previously
unbeaten Lucian Bute to win the IBF
crown and defended that belt with a
convincing win over Yusaf Mack in
three rounds.
If the 35-year-old Froch could
avenge his loss to Kessler and add the
WBAcrown to his IBF title, he would
hold two of the major super-mid-
dleweight titles concurrently for the
rst time in his career and secure his
status as one of the best ghters in
his class.
For the past 14 weeks, I havent
taken my foot off the gas, Froch said
Friday. The rematch with Kessler has
been in the back of my mind. I want
to get revenge and get myself back to
the position where I can say that
night in Denmark should never have
happened.
The pair exchanged some heated
words at the weigh-in, where Kessler
came in at 166 pounds and Froch
weighed 167 pounds.
I know, and Mikkel knows, that I
wasnt at my best in the rst ght,
and it was one of the things that I was
letting him know (during the weigh-
in), Froch said. I will be at my best
tomorrow night, and I have told him
not to be too brave, because he will
be in for a shock.
The 33-year-old Dane has won 46
of his 48 ghts, but since his victory
over Froch has only fought three
times and against much lesser oppo-
nents.
I wanted this ght and I dont
think there is a bigger one in the
world right now, Kessler said. I
shook Carls hand and said Ill ght
him in his home country. Im a man
of my word and thats why Im here.
I feel fast, hungry, better than ever
before. Ive never had the IBF title.
You want to try new things in life, and
I want to show Carl and all his boxing
fans that Im better than him.
Froch seeks to avenge loss to Kessler

HAIRCUT (reg.$14)
seventh inning against No. 4-seed Soquel
preserved a 4-3 Knights win. In Tuesdays
seminal game, the Knights needed eight
innings to dispatch top-seeded Palma 4-3.
If nothing else, the Knights are proving
the old baseball adage that strong pitching
and defense can top even the best offenses.
Menlo has gotten a sterling CCS run from
pitcher Jack Redman, who is 2-0 in two
starts and earned the save in the win over
Soquel. He threw a complete game in the
win over Carmel and pitched all eight
innings to beat Palma. In his three appear-
ances, Redman has an ERA of 1.21, better-
ing his overall mark of 2.38.
The Menlo defense, meanwhile, has
backed up the pitching, having committed
just one error in the playoffs.
Pacic Grove has been equally impressive
in reaching the championship game. The
Breakers beat a pair of West Bay Athletic
League teams the same league in which
Menlo plays. They topped No. 15 Kings
Academy 4-0 and equaled that result against
No. 7 Sacred Heart Prep. In the seminals,
Pacic Grove battered No. 14 Stevenson,
10-3.
The Breakers pitching has been even
more impressive, posting a team ERA of
0.33 and allowing just a .149 batting aver-
age against. Their defense is just slightly
behind Menlos, having committed three
errors in three games.
The Knights appeared to have caught a
break in missing Pacic Grove ace Chris
Clements, who is 14-0 on the season. He
pitched in the Breakers semifinal game
against Stevenson Tuesday, but pitched
only four innings. Conceivably, he could
pitch in six more innings Saturday but, with
only three days rest, its highly unlikely he
would start. Count on him coming out of the
bullpen if need be.
The bad news for the Knights in the
Breakers can choose between two other
quality starters Wes Carswell (4-0, 1.14
ERA) or Conyal Cody (3-0, 0.00 ERA).
Based on the fact Carswell pitched the nal
two innings against Stevenson, expect
Cody to get the call to start the game.
Cody handcuffed Sacred Heart Prep in the
quarterfinals last Saturday, holding the
Gators to just four hits.
Continued from page 11
MENLO
staff with an 8-1 record during the regular
season, got off to a wobbly start before n-
ishing strong. He held the Mustangs to one
run on three hits in a game ended by the
mercy rule in the fth inning. Wednesday, in
a surprise move, Gianinno tabbed Matt
Blais to make his rst start of the season.
Blais made that condence pay off with a
stellar performance. He held third-seeded
San Benito to just three hits and struck out
eight in a complete-game masterpiece.
Combined, those three pitchers have a
0.47 ERAand have allowed just one run.
Razo and Gorgolinski were shelled in
their previous two starts against St.
Francis. Razo, who started the game the
Padres came back to win, lasted just 1/3 of
an inning, giving up six runs on ve hits.
Gorgolinski was tagged with the loss in the
13-3 defeat. He gave up ve runs on four hits
in three innings of work.
Both have plenty of rest going into
Saturday, however. Expect to see Razo get
the start, but if he gets into trouble,
Gorgolinski could be the rst guy out of the
bullpen.
The Padres offense has been just as
impressive during this CCS run. In three
games, Serra has a team batting average of
.357 and are averaging 9.3 runs. The Padres
had 23 hits in those three wins, with nine
extra-base hits, including three home runs
and six doubles.
These kids have worked really hard to be
in this position, Gianinno said. It hasnt
been easy, facing every teams number one
or number two (pitcher). Our kids have han-
dled it extremely well.
St. Francis, however, has been no slouch
in CCS. The Lancers have relied on their
pitching to get them to the championship
as their bats have remained in relative
check, batting just .234 in three CCS wins.
Their pitching, however, has been just as
dominant as Serra. They also have posted a
pair of shutouts, beating No. 16-seed Monta
Vista 2-0 and No. 9 Valley Christian 3-0.
Against No. 5 Palo Alto in the seminals,
the Lancers were nally touched for some
runs, but they still cruised to an 8-3 win.
For those who dont want to do the math,
that is a 1.00 team ERAover their last three
games.
St. Francis big gun Michael Strem
threw the rst six innings in the Lancers
win over Palo Alto Wednesday. Look for
John Gavin to start the championship game
as he would be next in line. He last pitched
in the Lancers win over Valley Christian in
the quarternals last Saturday. He has an
ERAof 1.39 this season. He got roughed up
in the rst meeting with Serra, however,
allowing seven runs on ve hits in just 2
2/3 innings of work.
Its just exciting, Gianinno said. Its
exciting for the community, its exciting
for high school baseball. One of the
points of emphasis with our team is, I want
them to enjoy the moment and have fun in
the moment. This is the reward for all the
work (done during the season).
Now lets go nish.
SERRA
Appel worked eight innings, allowing
one run on three hits to improve his record
to 10-4. With nine strikeouts, Appel also
moves up the season leaderboard, now rank-
ing second in the nation with 130 over 106
1/3 inning pitched. Only North Carolina
State sophomore left-hander Carlos Rodon
has more with 137 strikeouts in just 91
innings pitched.
With last nights historic strikeout, he
moves past Kyle Peterson and Justin Wayne
as the Cardinals all-time strikeout king
with 372 all time.
Hes right there with the best that have
come through here, Marquess said. Hes
proven that. For three years hes been so
darned consistent for us. Hes done a great
job for us, obviously. Im just happy that
his last start in the regular season he got a
win. He deserved it.

INDIANAPOLIS They raced 1-
2-3 in line, trading the lead a whop-
ping 15 times over the nal, frantic
75 laps. All three drivers had a last-
lap plan in mind when they zipped
past the white ag, and it was
Takuma Sato who acted rst with a
bold move for the win.
Sato pulled out of line, dipped
inside of Dario Franchitti and tried to
pounce as they headed into the rst
turn. Scott Dixon watched and waited
from third, guring he was now in
position to slingshot past both for
the victory.
Instead, Sato and Franchitti nearly
touched. Sato spun out and into the
wall and Franchitti zipped to his
third victory in one of the most dra-
matic Indianapolis 500 nishes in
memory. Some even argued it was
one of the greatest Indy 500s ever.
It sure wont be easy to top on
Sunday.
I got a lot of comments from driv-
ers in NASCAR and Formula One
saying it was the best 500 theyd
ever seen, Franchitti said. But I
think this year will also be a very,
close exciting race.
The bar was certainly raised at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway last
year with 34 lead changes, passing
throughout the eld, Franchitti ral-
lying from the back to win and three
of the late Dan Wheldons closest
friends sweeping the podium. So
perfect it could have been a
Hollywood movie script.
But the IndyCar Series has given
every indication this season that
Sunday at Indianapolis Motor
Speedway could be another thriller.
The series is off to a terric start
this year with three winners in the
rst four races, and for the rst time
since 1991 none of the winners
drive for the mighty Penske Racing
or Chip Ganassi Racing teams.
Instead, its been three wins for
resurgent Andretti Autosport and one
for A.J. Foyt Racing, which cele-
brated Sato becoming the rst
Japanese driver to win an IndyCar
race.
So steady this season, Sato goes
into Sunday as the series points
leader. And, hell start from the sixth
row right next to Franchitti and
Dixon.
Sato, who calls last years race an
unforgettable day, has the chance to
give Foyt his rst Indy 500 victory
since Kenny Brack in 1999. Satos
win at Long Beach last month was
the rst for the Foyt organization
since 2002.
Were here for it. We are here aim-
ing to win the 500, so there is no
reason why we cannot, Sato said.
Winning, I was so close last year.
Knowing that now, how to get there,
what you need there, so its been a
tremendous experience last year to
hopefully I can translate it to... this
years performance.
The eld is stacked, though, and
has a pair of drivers trying to join
the exclusive club of four-time win-
ners. Franchitti and Helio
Castroneves are each vying to join
Foyt, Al Unser Sr. and Rick Mears as
the only four-time winners of the
Indy 500, a feat thats not been done
since Mears 1991 victory.
What an incredible opportunity
for the fans to have not only one,
but two guys trying to make histo-
ry, Castroneves said. Forget about
the names, forget about who it is.
But imagine people who didnt even
see the last time when the guy won
four times.
Theyve got ve Andretti
Autosport cars standing in their way
and two of them start from the front
row.
Carlos Munoz, a 21-year-old
Colombian making his IndyCar
debut, will start second alongside
Marco Andretti, who is once again
considered a favorite but must over-
come a curse that has limited his
famous family to one win Mario
Andretti in 1969 in 80 starts.
Andretti feels far more comfort-
able about his chances this year than
he did last season, when he called the
race mine to lose. Graham Rahal,
the other half of the closest rivalry
in the mild-mannered series, doesnt
consider his nemesis the favorite.
Indy 500 could be better than 2012s epic race
Feldman hits rst
pro homer, takes loss
CINCINNATI One awful pitch
ended Scott Feldmans streak of
solid starts and kept the Chicago
Cubs in their downward spiral.
Feldman hung a curve to Reds
catcher Ryan Hanigan with two on
and two outs and the pitcher on
deck in the fourth inning. Hanigan
connected for a three-run shot that
put Cincinnati ahead to stay in a 7-
4 victory on Friday night.
With starter Bronson Arroyo on
deck in the fourth inning, Feldman
(4-4) fell behind 3-0 in the count
to Hanigan, then decided to try to
get him out. Hanigan worked the
count full before connecting for a
5-3 lead.
That was a really bonehead
pitch, Feldman said. With the
pitcher on deck,
Votto and Hanigan homered in
the fourth inning off Feldman,
who had only one bad inning.
Feldman gave up ve runs in the
fourth, the same number hed
allowed in his past ve starts com-
bined.
Arroyo (5-4) gave up three runs
and six hits in six innings, includ-
ing Feldmans rst career homer.

their rst home. They lled out all of the
necessary paperwork, got qualied for a
loan and had enough saved for a down pay-
ment. After months of searching and bid-
ding, Claure, a psychotherapist, has found
she must be ready to bid far above the ask-

You have to think $100,000 more than

willing to bid higher to stay local.
Its difficult to think of going else-

Claure is willing to spend more to stay in

Its a heartbreaking experience to get

Claure recently bid $100,000 over the
asking price on a San Carlos condo, which
she said was a stretch nancially. She
came in third. The winning bid was
$130,000 above the asking price.
Its like shooting in the dark, she said.
This is the second time she has been beat
out by someone who out-bid her generous
offer. The rst time she bid $60,000 above
the asking price and the home went to
someone who offered $100,000 above the
asking price.
Ten to 15 buyers will typically bid on a
home, said Claure.
Bidding above the asking price on a
home is affordable for most people right
now because prices are still relatively low
and Bay Area residents typically receive
higher wages, said Anne Oliva, a Realtor
based in San Bruno who started the rst-
time homebuyers program there. Earlier
this month, Oliva meet in Washington,
D.C., with Realtors from all over the
United States who discussed the massive
amounts of cash in the market.
The real challenge for rst-time home
buyers like Claure in todays market is not
the high bids, but the all-cash offers made
by investors, said Oliva.
A lot of cash buyers arent even over-
bidding, but theyre a sure deal, said Oliva.
Sellers are being advised to go for the sure
deal.
Generally, all cash offers have less
strings attached than an offer from some-
one taking out a loan.
Investors are making smart moves by
buying houses with cash and renting them
out, said Oliva.
Its logical, she said. Rent is so high
in the Bay Area.
Buying homes and turning them into
rentals may be wise for investors, but Oliva
says homeownership is important to the
vitality of a neighborhood.
Communities full of tenants are unattrac-
tive economically. For example, if some-
one wants to buy a unit in a condominium
complex that has a high renter-to-owner
ratio, banks will not lend money to that
condo buyer, she said. She added that the
same logic goes for businesses looking at
which neighborhoods to move to.
Companies tend to move to communities of
homeowners rather than communities of
tenants, she said.
The community with more homeowners
is going to be much more valuable, she
said, adding that homeowners will put more
money into the houses than investors who
are renting them out. Whos going to
paint their house rst?
Redwood City-based Realtor Diane
Viviani is also witnessing the high bidding
wars on the Peninsula.
She recently helped a client put in an
offer on a $1 million house. Her client bid
$80,000 above the asking price and lost to
someone who made an offer of $250,000
above the asking price.
Viviani has also seen high numbers of
bidders. She had a listing that had six offers
in the rst six days. Three of the six were
all cash offers.
Its really tough to compete with all-
cash offers, said Viviani.
With all cash, youre not dealing with
lenders, she said. Youre coming in with
no contingency at all.
The highly competitive real estate mar-
ket is largely due to low inventory. The
number of houses for sale today is a frac-
tion of what it was a few years back.
In a recent week, there were about 51 sin-
gle-family homes for sale in Redwood City,
thats compared to 150 homes a couple of
years ago, said Viviani.

pionship game as a junior 2005. The
Padres lost to Westchester 66-45 in the
title game. During his senior year in
2006, he averaged 20 points and 10
rebounds, helping guide the Padres to
t he Nort hern Cal i forni a semi fi nal ,
where they fell to De La Salle-Concord,
52- 48.
He was named the Daily Journal Boys
Basketball Player of the Year as well as
the West Catholic Athletic League Player
of the Year following his senior cam-
paign.
Despite his success at the high school
level, White led a vagabond college
career. He initially gave an oral commit-
ment to Loyola Marymount University,
before changing course and signing a let-
ter of intent to play for coach Bobby
Knight at Texas Tech University. He last-
ed just over two seasons with the Red
Raiders, playing in 30 games his fresh-
man year, but appearing in just 10 his
sophomore year. Two games into his jun-
ior year, he asked for and was given a
release from his scholarship and trans-
ferred to Santa Clara University. After sit-
ting out the NCAA-required one season, he
appeared in just 10 games with the
Broncos before deciding he would give up
basketball.
After sitting out a couple years, he
enrolled at Division II San Francisco
State University this past season. In his
final year of college basketball, White
averaged 12.5 points and 7.1 rebounds per
game, leading the Gators in each catego-
ry. That earned him a spot on the All-
California Collegiate Athletic Conference
first-team, as well as a second-team spot
on the Daktronics West Region
Basketball team.
He was featured on a number of national
highlight shows in February, including
ESPNs Top-10 play of the day, after
draining a three-quarter shot to beat Cal
Poly-San Luis Obispo.
White told the Daily Journal in
November that the main impetus for
returning to school and the basketball
court was because of his then 1-year-old
son.
That was probably the main factor,
White said in November.

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

U.K.-bound Pakistan plane
diverted, two men arrested
LONDON Britain scrambled fighter
jets Friday to intercept a commercial air-
liner carrying more than 300 people from
Pakistan, diverting it to an isolated run-
way at an airport on the outskirts of
London and arresting two British passen-
gers who allegedly threatened to destroy
the plane.
ABritish security official said the situa-
tion involving the Pakistan International
Airlines flight did not appear terror-relat-
ed, though police were still investigating,
but the incident further rattled the U.K. just
days after a soldier was killed on a London
street in a suspected terror attack.
The security official requested anonymi-
ty because he was not authorized to discuss
the investigation.
A Pakistani official briefed by British
police and PIA security on the investiga-
tion said the two suspects, speaking Urdu,
allegedly threatened to destroy the plane
after an argument with crew. The official
spoke on condition of anonymity because
he was not authorized to speak about the
case on the record.
Flight P709 was traveling from Lahore,
Pakistan, to Manchester Airport when it
was diverted by the fighter jets to Stansted
Airport. The U.K. Ministry of Defense
confirmed that Typhoon jets were launched
to investigate an incident involving a
civilian aircraft but gave no further details.
Passenger Nauman Rizvi told Pakistans
GEO TV that two men who had tried to
move toward the cockpit during the flight
were handcuffed and arrested once the plane
landed. Rizvi said that after the men were
taken away, the flight crew told passengers
there had been a terrorist threat and that the
pilot had raised an alarm.
Essex Police said they were notified at
1:20 p.m. local time (12:20 GMT, 8:20
a.m. EDT) that a threat had been made to an
aircraft. The force said that after the
Boeing 777 landed at 2:15 p.m., armed
officers entered it and arrested two British
nationals, aged 30 and 41, on suspicion of
endangering the aircraft.

I
n response to recent violence in San
Mateo County, especially the shoot-
ing of 15-year-old Jose Quinones,
Carlmont High School held a gathering
advocating non-violence Wednesday, May
21.
According to police,
Quinones, a student who
attended Woodside High
School, was shot and
killed in East Palo Alto
while sitting in a car
with three other teens
two of the teens accom-
panying Quinones were
also injured in the shooting. Investigators
are searching for two suspects seen eeing
the scene and are also trying to determine
the motivation for the crime.
The gathering on Wednesday was held
during the students lunch break in the quad.
Participants wore white T-shirts and blue
jeans to show their commitment to non-
violence. They also pinned orange ribbons
on their possessions to show compassion
for Quinones, his family and friends.
Students Offering Support (SOS), with the
cooperation of the Associated Student
Body, was responsible for the non-violent
efforts. SOS Leader Shelly Bustamonte said
that they chose orange as the color to com-
memorate Quinones because Woodside High
Schools school color is orange.
Students and staff alike came out to par-
ticipate in the event because, as
Bustamonte urges, strength comes in num-
bers. Carlmonts drumline began the gath-
ering with a percussion performance which
was followed by a performance from the
mens choir, who sang Hallelujah. The
gathering was then concluded with the song

Although it has run for 39 years and its
theater is 100 years old, Beach Blanket
Babylon remains as fresh as todays head-
lines. Its also very funny as it parodies pop
celebrities, politicians and royalty.
It does all this through an energetic, tal-
ented cast of 10 performers who don outra-
geous costumes, exaggerated wigs and
the shows trademark hats that grow big-
ger and more complex during the 90-minute
show.
Originated by the late Steve Silver and
now produced by his widow, Jo Schuman
Silver, BBB has followed a similar plot
for several years: Snow White (Rena Wilson
in the reviewed performance) is looking for
love in San Francisco, but shes unsuccess-
ful.
Guided by a good witch (Rene Lubin in
this performance), she undertakes a wider
search that takes her to Rome and Paris.
Eventually she returns to San Francisco,
having met the man of her dreams. During
her journey, she encounters characters who
sing and dance their way through songs
whose lyrics have been adapted to their sit-
uation.
The show opens with one of its longest-
running characters, Mr. Peanut, whos
become quite hip with an iPhone 5. The
Beatles show up next, followed by several
hippies singing Hair songs. Snow White
sees Oprah Winfrey, the Clintons and a
leather-clad, motorcycle-riding Nancy
Pelosi, among many others, including the
Obamas.
When she arrives in Paris, shes met by a
Beach Blanket Babylon still fresh after 39 years

Ever wonder what it would
feel like to suddenly wake up
in another universe?
You could nd out, perhaps,
by joining the next space mis-
sion to another galaxy, or,
slightly easier, you could go
to your local multiplex and
watch Fast & Furious 6
without having seen the rst
ve movies.
Should you decide to under-
take this anthropological
experiment, youd immedi-
ately discover there are things
everyone except you already
knows. For example: jokes
about baby oil and big fore-
heads are very funny in this
universe. Cars, of course, are
the most important thing, and
of course there are no speed
limits. Weapons come next on
the list, and the bigger the bet-
ter but in one-on-one phys-
ical combat, bald heads are
surprisingly effective.
Speaking of those fights:
Theyre brutal, yet somehow,
no organs get damaged and
even bruises are minimal.
And oh yes, bikinis and bot-
More is always more
Fast & Furious 6 is more than alive and kicking

SAN FRANCISCO Netix is hoping
this weekends release of the resurrected TV
series Arrested Development will draw
more subscribers to its Internet video serv-
ice.
The award-winning show about the dys-
functional Bluth family returns Sunday,
seven years after Fox cancelled the series.
The revival coincides with Netixs own
resounding comeback from a customer
backlash over price increases and share-
holders worries about rising expenses. The
adversity had raised doubts about the com-
panys management and future.
Now, Netix is winning back subscribers
and investors with a bold attempt to estab-
lish its $8-per-month service as a home
entertainment powerhouse that rivals the
broadcast television networks and premium
cable channels such as HBO.
Arrested Development, a comedy that
won six Emmy awards during a critically
acclaimed three-year run, is the third exclu-
sive series from Netix Inc. this year. Its
part of Netixs effort to add more original
programming to a selection that consists
primarily of old TV series and movies.
With 29.2 million U.S. subscribers far
more than the 21.9 million TV subscribers
that leading cable provider Comcast Corp.
has Netix has already reshaped home
entertainment.
The service is encouraging more people
to forego cable and satellite TV service and
rely on Netix to watch popular TV series a
year or more after they originally were
shown. Netix also is empowering viewers
to watch an entire season of a TV series in a
matter of days instead of months.
Netix CEO Reed Hastings isnt done dis-
rupting things yet. He is spending more
than $2 billion annually, including about
$200 million to nance original program-
ming that can be watched on traditional
computers, smartphones, tablets, video
game consoles and Internet-connected TVs.
By expanding its library of content,
Netflix is hoping people will decide to
spend their idle time on its Internet video
service rather than play video games, frater-
nize on Facebook, surf cable or satellite TV
or watch a DVD. (Netix started out as a
DVD-by-mail rental service, but it is phas-
ing that out in favor of Internet streaming.)
We want our members to choose Neti x
in these moments of truth, Hastings wrote
in a recent essay outlining Netixs philos-
ophy.
By bringing back Arrested
Development this weekend, Netix is also
trying to prove that people still want to see
quality entertainment even when the weath-
er is getting nicer and the days are growing
longer. That runs counter to the philosophy
of broadcast TVnetworks, which for decades
have typically started the new seasons of
their top TV series in September and
stopped showing new episodes just before
Memorial Day weekend.
BTIG Research analyst Rich Greeneld
believes the scarcity of compelling choices
on broadcast TV at this time of year is
bound to help Netix draw more viewers to
Arrested Development. In a recent analy-
sis posted on BTIGs blog, Greeneld pre-
dicted that the total number of hours
watched on Netix in June might even sur-
pass the Fox broadcast network for the rst
time.
If that were to happen, it would be an
ironic twist, given that Fox canceled
Arrested Development in 2006 over the
protest of the series fervent fans. Arrested
Development had low ratings during its
run, but the viewers who did watch loved it.
Others discovered the show later on DVD or
Internet streaming both of which have
been available through Neti x.
The first three seasons of Arrested
Development were being watched by so
many subscribers that Netix knew another
season would be well-received by its exist-
ing audience and would likely lure new sub-
scribers, too.
Like Netixs previous series, all 15 new
episodes of Arrested Development will be
released simultaneously to allow viewers to
watch the show as if they were perusing a
book and deciding how many chapters to
pore through in a single sitting. Arrested
Development is scheduled to be available
at 12:01 a.m. PDT Sunday (3:01 a.m. EDT),
meaning Netix subscribers could conceiv-
ably devour the entire season before
grilling on Memorial Day afternoon.
Netixs departure from TVs traditional
one-episode-per-week strategy has been
well received by subscribers who have
watched the services previous forays into
original programming.
Februarys release of House of Cards, a
political drama that stars Oscar-winning
actor Kevin Spacey, helped Netix add 2
million more U.S. subscribers during the
rst three months of the year, more than
analysts anticipated. Hemlock Grove, a
quirky horror series, attracted additional
viewers during the rst weekend after its
mid-April release, according to Netflix,
although the company hasnt provided spe-
cic numbers.

TOM STOPPARDS ARCADIA: A
TIME-BENDING DELIGHT AT THE
AMERICAN CONSERVATORY THE-
ATER. In pursuit of a major literary sensa-
tion, two obsessive modern-day scholars
piece together the volatile and passionate
events that took place in a sprawling
English country house centuries earlier. The
action moves between the 19th century and
the present through a series of love stories,
as characters from both eras discover con-
nections, unearth mysteries and unravel
hidden truths. Written by Tom Stoppard.
Directed by Carey Perloff. Two hours and
35-minutes with one 15-minute intermis-
sion. Through June 9.
STAGE DIRECTIONS: A.C.T. is locat-
ed at the Geary Theater, 415 Geary St., just
off Union Square in the heart of downtown
San Francisco. Parking is available one
block away at the Mason/OFarrell Garage,
325 Mason St. Show your theater ticket
stub to receive a discount. The theater is a
relatively level four-block walk from the
BART-Powell Street Station (Market
Street).
TICKET INFORMATION: Tickets from
$20 - $95 are available at act-sf.org or
(415) 749-2228. Stay after the shows May
28, 7 p.m.; June 2, 2 p.m.; and June 5, 2
p.m. to learn rsthand what goes into the
making of great theater by joining in a live-
ly chat with the actors, designers and artists
who developed the work onstage.
AN ASIDE: A.C.T. Artistic Director
Carey Perloff said, To me Arcadia is the per-
fect play: sexy, subtle, romantic, bracing,
hilarious and complex, rewarding multiple
viewings and multiple explorations. When I
directed the show at A.C.T. in 1995, the
Geary Theater was still undergoing repairs
from the devastating Loma Prieta earth-
quake, so we have never done it on The
Geary stage. Now weve gathered an incred-
ible company and it is truly a fulllment of
a dream for me to bring Arcadia back to
A.C.T.
OH, AND DID YOU KNOW?: Arcadia
marks the seventh time that A.C.T. Artistic
Director Carey Perloff has collaborated with
Playwright Stoppard during her 20-year
tenure at A.C.T. Other productions include
the American premieres of Indian Ink and
The Invention of Love and popular favorites
of Rock n Roll (2008) and Travesties
(2006).

WEEKEND JOURNAL

Peas. Keeping in mind this weekend con-
cludes the second to last week of all
seniors high school careers at Carlmont,
it is not surprising that most of us began
the week expecting to have a laid-back,
cheerful week. Personally, I began the
week in calculus by completing one of my
favorite assignments, an assignment that
required each student to write a letter to
himself or herself ve years into the future.
By speaking to my classmates, it seemed
as if most students described what their
lives are like now and concluded with ques-
tions about what life is like in the future.
What I can almost guarantee students did
not consider was whether there would be a
future to ask about.
High school graduation and the weeks
leading up to it usually mark a time of
reection for seniors. As I have gone
through this timeless tradition the past
week and also taken into account the
events taking place around me, I came to
this conclusion: No one leaves high
school knowing exactly who they are. All
we can take away from high school is our
experiences. We should think about the
future and use our high school experiences
to determine the kind of person we want to
be, and then take that decision and use it to
propel us toward becoming our ideal self in
college. Because in ve years, when my
classmates and I will receive our letters, we
will only have the person that we have
become and the experiences we have gone
through to succeed in the adult world,
whether that pertains to parenthood, a suc-
cessful career or simply being a good per-

toms are important. Not bikini bottoms
well, those too but bottoms in bikinis.
What this has to do with car racing is not
entirely clear.
Most importantly, in this universe, there
is no such thing as less is more. More is
always more, and so, Fast & Furious 6
will delight fans of the franchise, because
there is more of everything here. Director
Justin Lin gives us not only great cars
doing ridiculous things at ridiculous
speeds, but also a huge army tank and a
great stunt involving a giant cargo plane.
Newcomers will be a little confused as to
who everyone is, since there is little expla-
nation at this point, but fans will be glad to
know their favorites are back, starting with
Vin Diesels Dom, the hotshot driver with
the clean-shaven head (the better to butt
other heads with) and a strong sense of fam-
i l y. When we rst see him, hes careening
down a winding cliff road in the Canary
Islands with cohort/former cop Brian
OConner (Paul Walker). Turns out theyre
heading to the hospital, where OConners
wife (and Doms sister), Mia (Jordana
Brewster, in a small role this time) is giv-
ing birth. Asweet family moment.
Meanwhile, Dom, on the lam from the
U.S. and hugely wealthy from his last ven-
ture, is shacked up in a sunny love nest with
a gorgeous Brazilian cop (Elsa Pataky).
Who needs to work? Thats what he tells
Hobbs, the insanely buff federal agent
played by Dwayne Johnson, when he
comes calling, a nemesis from the last lm
whos now promising immunity in
exchange for Doms help. He wants Dom to
nab a villain named Shaw (Luke Evans)
hes the snarly guy with the tank and the
plane and a huge military arsenal which is
one little component short of wreaking
total havoc.
A reluctant Dom gets on board when he
learns that Letty, his former love (Michelle
Rodriguez) is working for Shaw. But wait ...
wasnt she dead? Well, actually shes alive,
but she has amnesia. Anyway, the game is
on.
Happily, amid all the noise, the races
theres a terric one through the streets of
downtown London the crashes and the
outlandish stunts, there is some humor, and
its very welcome. Particularly funny are
Tyrese Gibson as Roman and Chris
Ludacris Bridges as Tej, Doms partners
in crime. Also back for more adventures are
the attractive duo of Han (Sung Kang) and
Gisele (Gal Gadot); Gina Carano is a new-
comer as an agent whose ghting skills
give Letty a run for her money.
Not everyone gets out alive. As for the
lucrative franchise, though, its more than
alive and kicking, judging from the new
films overseas success. A post-credits
sequence teases the upcoming seventh lm.
In the Fast & Furious universe, its not
just international criminals who rake it in.
Fast & Furious 6, a Universal Studios
release, is rated PG-13 for intense
sequences of violence and action and may-
hem throughout, some sexuality and lan-

WEEKEND JOURNAL 23
N.Y.s beach tops
annual survey
of best beaches
By Frank Eltman
EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. This may be hard to believe in
the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, but an annual list of the
best beaches in the country has a New York beach ranked
No. 1.
Less surprisingly, that beach is in East Hampton, the
vacation playground for the rich and famous.
In an announcement that coincides annually with the
unofficial start of summer, coastal expert Stephen P.
Leatherman on Friday released the 23rd version of his Top
10 Beach List, placing Main Beach in East Hampton at the
t op.
The thing about the Hamptons is that people are so
proud of their beaches out there, Leatherman told the
Associated Press in an interview in advance of the release of
his list. People pick up their litter there, the bathrooms
are clean; they provide good services.
Leatherman, who goes by the nickname Dr. Beach, visit-
ed Main Beach earlier this month. He said that unlike many
beaches farther to the west and in New Jersey, the beaches
on eastern Long Island saw less erosion and ooding from
the effects of Superstorm Sandy.
Considering the magnitude of the storm, people will be
very pleased to see that Main Beach is the way they remem-
ber it, he said.
Leatherman, a professor at Florida International
University in Miami, has visited beaches around the world
and uses criteria like water and sand quality, as well as safe-
ty and environmental management, to compile his annual
list. Once a beach reaches the pinnacle of No. 1, it is retired
from future consideration, he said.
Coopers Beach in nearby Southampton, N.Y., was the
No. 1 pick in the 2010 survey. Sarasota, Fla.s Siesta Beach
was tops in 2011 and Coronado Beach in California earned
the top spot in 2012.
The other nine on Leathermans 2013 list after Main
Beach are: Kahanamoku Beach, Waikiki, Hawaii; St. George
Island State Park, Fla.; Hamoa Beach, Maui, Hawaii;
Waimanalo Bay State Park, Oahu, Hawaii; Barefoot Beach
Preserve County Park, Bonita Springs, Fla.; Cape Florida
State Park, Key Biscayne, Fla.; Cape Hatteras, Outer Banks,
N.C.; Coast Guard Beach, Cape Cod, Mass.; and
Beachwalker Park, Kiawah Island, S.C.
East Hampton village residents have free access to Main
Beach, although parking permits are required from May 15
to Sept. 15. Non-residents can buy parking passes at $25
per day but they are limited in number, with only 40 non-
resident daily parking passes sold on weekends and holi-
days.
Max Scainetti, a lifelong East Hampton resident, said the
tiny grains of tan sand and the cleanliness of the beach are
two of the things that make Main Beach special.
This is one of the best beaches in the country and Ive
been to a lot of beaches, Scainetti said. I think basically
its a lot to do with the sand. Alot of Long Island beaches
tend to be rocky where these are more sandy beaches.
Javier Baldo, an East Hampton cook, said he has visited
Main Beach regularly for about eight years.
Its fairly civilized. It doesnt get too crowded. The water
is delicious, he said. Delicious? Its really great water, its
really clean. You just have a lot of space.
The third lm in the series,following 1995s Before Sunriseand 2004s Before Sunset,nds loquacious lovers Jesse and Celine
married and enjoying an idyllic Greek holiday with their beautiful twin daughters.
By Christy Lemire
LOS ANGELES The hardest seg-
ment to watch in Before Midnight
an extended, emotional hotel-room
argument that comprises the films
nal third was actually the easiest to
shoot, say co-stars Ethan Hawke and
Julie Delpy and director Richard
Linklater.
The third lm in the series, follow-
ing 1995s Before Sunrise and
2004s Before Sunset, nds loqua-
cious lovers Jesse and Celine married
and enjoying an idyllic Greek holiday
with their beautiful twin daughters.
Jesse, the easygoing American, is a
successful novelist. Celine, the ery
Frenchwoman, is occupied with envi-
ronmental concerns. They have a love-
ly life but, like so many couples, are
struggling to juggle marriage, parent-
hood and careers. On what is meant to
be a much-needed date night, long-held
resentments bubble to the surface in a
lengthy quarrel thats a tour de force of
writing and acting.
The trio, who once again co-wrote
the script (their Before Sunset
screenplay earned them an Oscar nom-
ination), sat down with the Associated
Press this week to discuss their writing
process and the challenge of keeping
romance alive in your 40s. As you can
imagine after 18 years of friendship
and collaboration, they bounced off
each other easily and often nished the
others sentences:
AP: The endi ng of Before
Sunset is so perfect and thats
such a hard thing to achieve, but
i t l ef t audi ences want i ng t o
know more . When did you guys
realize you wanted to come back
and do another of these?
Linklater: Weve all paid the price
for that ending over the past nine years
because people have always asked us,
it begged the question, Will we be
seeing Jesse and Celine again? ...
People wanted to know in a way that
they didnt want to know after the rst
movie.
Hawke: Acouple years after we n-
ished, I really started getting that sen-
sation that you get when theres a proj-
ect left undone. I think its the perfect
ending, and I love it, but its like a call
that wants an answer. ... I wanted to
know what happened to them, too.
Linklater: (In) Before Midnight,
thats really THE subject how rela-
tionships change, is it romantic. That
was one thing hanging in our heads: Is
this lm romantic? What is romance at
41? How do you dene romance?
Del py: Ohhh, love.
Hawke: Arthur Miller has a quote
about how its pretty easy to write
about falling in love and pretty easy to
write about breaking up, but theres
something un-dramatic about the
minutiae of day-to-day romance that
doesnt lend itself to drama.
Del py: We catch them in the
moment of drama ...
Hawke: But its subtle drama.
Theyre not in the throes of a divorce.
Its not Kramer vs. Kramer.
Del py: That was the challenge,
unlike the two other ones which are
super romantic in essence. ... Its scary
territory because of the complexity of
how to make this, not wanting people
to run off after ve minutes.
Li nkl ater: It was definitely a
tougher assignment, for sure. But we
were operating from this thing about,
well, were going to be very honest
and go into some territory that might
be uneasy but I think, overarchingly,
we still felt that it was romantic
because theyre still communicating.
Theyre still making each other laugh.
They still kinda want to sleep togeth-
er, so thats good.
AP: So why go i n thi s very
serious direct i on?
Linklater: Its age-appropriate.
Del py: Well, what are you supposed
to do? Like, oh, he took that plane and
in the end they meet again!
AP: What are the odds?!
Linklater: Like, theyre both mar-
ried but they see each other at a restau-
rant.
Del py: We had to go there, even
though it was much more scary territo-
ry than, oh, they meet again. To me, to
all of us, that seemed ridiculous. Now
they are together. They are dealing
with the real deal of meeting your soul
mate and living with that soul mate.
AP: What were t he vari ous
avenues you guys mi ght have
gone down as far as where you
s et i t .
Del py: We explored millions of
them: San Francisco, upstate New
York.
Li nkl ater: Argentina. But you
know, they werent always on holiday.
Initially, we were gonna jump really
in: Lets pick em up on a Tuesday ...
Hawke: You were gonna see all that
stuff.
Linklater: Youre working, youre
writing, youve gotta go to a thing,
whos gonna pick up the kids? Really
domestic. And after all that, you really
only get time at the end of the
evening, right before midnight, so,
oh, well build up to that. We hung
with that for, like, six months. And
you know what? Thats kind of a grind.
Once we got onto holiday we felt, we
can still infuse it with all that domes-
ticity: parenting and responsibility ...
Hawke: Sunscreening the kids. But
better to hear about it in a ght than to
see somebody shopping.
AP: The scene i n the hotel
the bi g, huge ght i t f eel s so
personal , i t feel s so cutti ng. I
wonder i f there were moments
when you were goi ng beyond
acting to actually cutting each
other to the core .
Hawke: You could say that about
any serious, viable art. If youre not
cutting to your core, even in a comedy,
its not funny. If youre not cutting to
your core, youre not saying anything
that might be worth paying 10 bucks
to see. We love each other so were in a
safe environment to do that. Did I feel
all year like I went through something
by making the movie? Denitely.
De l py: But it feels good, too.
Theres something emotional you
still feel something, like you grow
from it.
Linklater: This felt more cathartic
than the other two in that way just
cause the subject were dealing with is
much deeper and more real in a way,
more connected to the world we live in.
Del py: Also, Rick is not to rub it
in, but hes 10 years older than we
are. (Turns to Linklater) I mean really,
you are. So he has a different perspec-
tive. I mean, we are in the re of the
moment of being that age when we talk
about it. And he has this 10-year
thing, which is a perfect balance in a
way.
Last shot at romance
in Before Midnight
Main Beach in East Hampton was named the top beach in the
country.

next to the Oceana Market, among
several empty storefronts. Elizabeth
Marshall, her mother Kay Marshall
and Rig Terrell are all co-directors of
the revamped location. Vasu
Narayanan, owner of the Oceana
Market, is the driving force behind the
gallerys fruition.
Narayanan, along with the
Economic Development Committee of
Pacica and the Art Guild of Pacica,
took inspiration from the aftermath of
New Orleans Hurricane Katrina by fol-
lowing a unique model created by the
artistic community of the ravaged city.
By using empty storefronts to hang art
in pop-up galleries, the resilient citi-
zens of New Orleans were able to
restore some of the shopping areas.
By making them appear more populat-
ed and accessible, Narayanan said they
encouraged people to return to the
area.
Narayanan and the Art Guild appealed
to the landowner of the Oceana plaza
and proposed their vision of a commu-
nity arts space. The group was offered
the current spot rent free in hopes of
advancing their community both cre-
atively and economically, Narayanan
said. Narayanan contributed money,
which was combined with other dona-
tions, to transform the gallery from a
vacant storefront to a luminous retreat,
replete with new lighting and fresh
paint.
Although Pacifica is just minutes
from San Francisco, people often drive
through unaware of all the city has to
offer, Elizabeth Marshall said. The
gallery will thrive on its ability to
entertain while coalescing their small
community with Bay Area artists and
visitors.
Abroad spectrum of the arts will be
accessible for those who pass through
the gallerys doors. With everything
from painting, sculpture, lm, artist
lectures and literary readings, the
gallery has been in a growing ux
since reopening its doors in late
March.
Photo realist painter James
Torlakson is currently exhibiting a
large collection of his internationally
recognized paintings through June 23.
Torlakson typically shows his work in
large metropolitan cities across the
country and is part of the San
Francisco Museum of Modern Arts
permanent collection. When
approached by Elizabeth Marshall to
display his work, he was delighted to
assist the community-spirited gallery,
Torlakson said. His rarely seen coastal
landscape paintings are included in his
49-piece exhibit, Torlakson said.
Its about embracing the communi-
ty in all aspects. But at the same time,
trying to have a space thats really
beautiful and have it be a space thats
something for everyone. From a
nationally known artist to a local
artist, theres room for both and both
are encouraged, Elizabeth Marshall
said.
Thanks to the suggestions and ideas
of others, the gallery has morphed
into an event space, Narayanan said.
Montara resident Caroline Goodwin is
a teacher and poet passionate about
engaging people through literary read-
ings at the gallery.
One of the oldest art forms, poetry is
meant to be heard and performed,
Goodwin said. People will be empow-
ered by their ability to gather and share
their ideas in person.
Oceana Arts aims to be a gallery
where people can participate, as a
community, in art making together,
Goodwin said.
Goodwin has organized their
involvement in 100,000 poets for
change, the international event pro-
moting political and social progres-
sion, on Sept. 28.
I am always looking for ways to
bring poetry into our communities,
libraries, bookstores and schools in a
meaningful way, Goodwin said.
Illustrator Eric Joyner, whose work
is featured on the new Ben Folds Five
album cover, will be exhibiting his
famous robots and donuts prints in late
June, Elizabeth Marshall said. She
plans on incorporating Pacica high
schools robotics clubs into the event.
Afull spectrum exhibit highlighting
the history of surng in Pacica is set
to occur in the following months.
Elizabeth Marshall strives to engage
her community through fostering
extensions to the general public. As
president of the University of
California Cooperative Extension
Master Gardeners programs for San
Francisco and San Mateo counties, she
is heavily involved in volunteer work
and asks her artistic brethren to aid in
the Oceana Gallerys venture.
The evolution of the gallery has
been based on building relationships
and entertaining the creative opportu-
nities the gallery provides to the pub-
lic, Elizabeth Marshall said. Working
with community partnerships is
rewarding, and her altruistic nature
coincides with the overall theme of the
gallery: reach out to your neighbors.
Inherently, most people want to
help other people and the best way to
help other people is to start at home,
in your community, Elizabeth
Marshall said.
The Oceana Art Gallery is located at
150 Eureka Square in Pacica where
theres ample parking. The gallery is
ripe for use and available as event
space. For more information visit

Legislature.
Assembly Bill 678 was approved by
the Assembly Friday. If passed by the
state Senate and signed by the gover-
nor, the bill would provide the oppor-
tunity for public input in how health
districts spend its budget. It could also
raise the question about whether the
districts are still needed. Now it heads
to the Senate for approval.
This added level of transparency is
necessary to ensure local property dol-
lars are being spent on their intended
purposes, Gordon said in a press
release. Health Needs Assessments
will help guide health care districts
investments and activities to better
reect community health care needs.
Health care districts were established
in 1945 to help build community hos-
pitals. Of the 73 health care districts
that currently exist in California, 30
do not operate hospitals including
the two in San Mateo County, Sequoia
Healthcare and Peninsula Health Care
districts.
Central to the bill is considering
how much if at all the districts
are actually obligated to contribute to
county health needs and if they should
even exist when their original taxing
purpose no longer does. Gordons bill
would mandate that districts disclose
explicit information on the share of
district resources used for actual health
care services and those used for admin-
istration needs.
The two local districts have taken
different strategies in spending.
Sequoia awards more than it takes in
and Peninsula argues its hefty reserves
are necessary in case it ever has to buy
Mills-Peninsula Medical Center in
Burlingame back from Sutter Health,
which operates it.
Based on 2010 numbers, the Sequoia
Healthcare District had approximately
$19 million in assets. Its budget for
the current fiscal year anticipated
$13.8 million in income with $8.6
million coming from property taxes.
The plan included spending $10.6 mil-
lion on community health.
According to the 2012 audit, the
Peninsula Health Care District had $59
million in total assets, took in $7.4
million in income and committed more
than $14 million in projects, some
will be over multiple years.
Gordon said greater scrutiny and
transparency should be accompanied
with a greater denition of what health
care is so that the money is spent in
publicly acceptable ways. From there,
Gordon sees the conversation focusing
on if the districts should be mandated
to spend a certain percentage or cap
non-health expenses.
