Teachers and the San Mateo
Union High School District reached
a tentative contract agreement last
week which will go up for a vote by
members later this summer.
On Tuesday, June 12, the two
sides reached an agreement that
includes a 2 percent salary increase
and a 2 percent increase to the
employee benefit cap, SMUHSD
Teachers Association President
Craig Childress conrmed. In addi-
tion, the agreement would allow up
to two teachers per site to teach six
instead of the normal ve periods.
We are fortunate to be in the
position to offer a 2 percent raise
while other districts across the state
are taking furlough days and reduc-
ing staff and programs,
Superintendent Scott Laurence said
in a prepared statement.
The agreement includes increas-
ing the maximum number of student
contacts per teacher from 165 to
168 over ve teaching periods.
In addition, the district and
teachers agreed to initiate an
Evaluation Task Force to recom-
mend improvements to the current
evaluation process by adding
components such as student
progress and performance and
peer observations.
We are hoping to add agreed
upon components that will provide
better feedback and assistance to
our excellent teaching staff along
with related professional develop-
ment and peer mentoring, said
Associate Superintendent Kirk
Black.
The district currently employs
approximately 470 teachers.
District teachers earn more than
$84,000 annually on average,
according to the district.

Automation, online and paperless
were the key words used by county
department heads yesterday as
supervisors heard about plans to
become more efcient and ultimate-
ly save money.
The day of budget presentation
was the second of four scheduled
hearings on the recommended $1.8
billion budget for scal year 2012-
2013 that will be tentatively
approved Thursday afternoon and
formally adopted in late September.
Heading into this years budget
process, county officials have
described it as a time for depart-
ments to take a break from the dras-
tic cuts of past years and focus on
long-term sustainable practices.
However, the county is still looking
to eliminate a structural decit on
track to hit $41 million by scal
year 2016-2017 without any action.

A proposal to build a series of large ofce
buildings, possibly the home to biotech compa-
nies, at the now-vacant former Burlingame
Drive-in was approved by the City Council
Monday.
Millennium Partners, New York-based devel-
opers of mixed-used properties, applied in
April 2010 to develop the 18.13-acre site a
project now known as Burlingame Point, locat-
ed at 300 Airport Blvd. (also known as 350
Beach Road). Plans call for 689,810 square feet
of ofce space in two ve-story buildings, one
seven-story building and one eight-story build-
ing. On Monday, the Burlingame City Council
approved three ordinances to amend zoning,
the environmental impact report, and estab-
lished a development agreement.
Vice Mayor Ann Keighran commended the
applicant and said the project was vastly
improved from the original proposal noting
changes were made collaboratively. Her senti-
ments were echoed by the rest of the council.
Councilwoman Terry Nagel enjoyed that the
project was altered so the site would be more
open to the public.
As proposed, the project will provide space
for either ofce or biotech use. When last
changed, the zoning for the Bayfront was
altered to be open for biotech. There would
also be a two-story, 33,400-square-foot ameni-
ties building that would include a child-care

Belmont residents repeatedly told the citys
Planning Commission last night that a private
schools desire to build a new campus on
Davis Drive will bring far too much trafc to
the area and that their students will also be too
noisy.
Crystal Springs Uplands School wants to
relocate its middle school from Hillsborough
to Belmont in an area currently zoned for
executive ofce and warehouse uses.
Many residents said the zoning should stay
intact and that the Ralston Middle School,
adjacent to the proposed CSUS campus, is
already noisy enough.
But Amy Richards, head of CSUS, said the
new campus would actually bring less trafc
to the area than if the existing ofce buildings
on the site were currently fully utilized.
She also told the commission at a public
hearing last night that the school is a good
neighbor to the 13 residences that share the
property line with it in Hillsborough.
Noise should not be too big of an issue, she
told the commission.
Before the meeting even started, however,
the school requested a continuance of the pub-
lic hearing so it could better address what the
city calls scal neutrality.
Belmont planners have told school ofcials
the city needs to get about $116,000 annually
from the school to offset its own costs for the
schools presence in the city.
Since it is a nonprot agency, exempt from
paying property taxes, the school has offered
to pay the city $75,000 annually plus the con-
sumer price index, offer $40,000 in nancial
aid exclusively for Belmont students, give
preference to Belmont residents in the appli-
cation process and offer its synthetic turfed
athletic eld to the community on weekends
and three weeks during summer.
Currently, the city realizes about $65,000 a
year in property tax revenue from the site,
according to school ofcials.
The commission heard from trafc and
noise experts before it opened up the meeting
to the public, with about 30 asking to speak on
the matter.
Most expressed opposition for the project
based on more traffic clogging Ralston
Avenue. Others expressed concern about too
much noise from the project.
Currently, about 83,000 square feet of com-
mercial/ofce and warehouse buildings and
165 parking spots are situated at 6-8 and 10
Davis Drive that has stood vacant for years.
Crystal Springs Uplands wants to demolish
the current buildings and construct a 52,000-
square-foot middle school with a 60-space
parking lot, gymnasium/theater/multi-purpose
room and an all-weather synthetic turf playing
eld. At capacity, the school would have 216
students, 26 teachers and 10 additional staff.
The school will replace every tree that it
needs to remove during construction and build
a soundwall during construction as well,
according to its development agreement.
Richards called the schools potential trafc
impact on the city immaterial.
She also said ambient noise from Ralston
Avenue would be greater than the noise the
schools students would make.
Resident John Moody, however, called mul-
tiple trafc studies related to the project inac-
curate.
Another resident, Karen Hall, said the pri-
vate nonprot school should not be allowed to
buy its way into Belmont.
The new school belongs in Hillsborough,
Hall said.
The commission granted the school a con-
tinuance to a later date just before 11 p.m. last
night.
The commission must approve a general
plan amendment, development agreement,
planned development rezoning and a concep-
tual development plan before it forwards the
item to the City Council for nal approval.

Homeowner must maintain property as primary residence and remain current on
property taxes and insurance
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
County supervisors yesterday unanimously
approved a plan to let a private company man-
age its nursing facility for three years rather
than shut the doors next summer and shift res-
idents elsewhere as a way to save $9 million
annually.
The plan for Burlingame Long-Term Care is
still contingent on the Trousdale Drive build-
ings owners nalizing a sale with Brius, LLC
but yesterdays board vote puts the pieces in
place for when that occurs. Mario Muzzi, who
owns the building with his brother Vincent,
told the Daily Journal he anticipates the deal to
close quite soon and Health System Director
Jean Fraser told the board Brius will be man-
aging on July 15.
The deal, an unusual arrangement in which
Brius will operate on the countys license
while transitioning into a stand-alone care
home in October 2015, will cost $1 million to
$3 million less than shuttering the facility in
July 2013.
The arrangement also means the 163 resi-
dents still at the facility can stay, those whove
already left have an option of returning, all
will eventually be housed in a renovated build-
ing and at least two-thirds of the employees
will be offered jobs. The county also increases
its number of Medi-Cal beds and avoids cost-
ly renovations at the San Mateo Medical
Center to convert a wing into 32 short-term
beds.
All of the stakeholders benet and you
dont see that very often, said Supervisor
Dave Pine prior to the boards vote.
No members of the public spoke yesterday,
in sharp contrast to the crowded and emotion-
al Feb. 14 hearing at which the Board of
Supervisors agreed not to renew the centers
lease. San Mateo County took over the trou-
bled 281-bed nursing facility in 2003 at the
request of the California Department of Health
Services. The facility never made money,
though, and Fraser recommended letting it go
and nding new spaces for patients either
locally or elsewhere. Since February, the coun-
ty has been trying to nd enough spots but 160
residents are still not placed.
With yesterdays agreement, they neednt
be. Brius has also committed to employing a
minimum of two-thirds of the approximately
200 employees on its payroll and invest a min-
imum of $3.5 million in building renovations.
Until the building is updated, non-ambulatory
patients will be housed on the ground oor to
allow evacuation in case of earthquake or re.
In return, Brius will keep whatever prot or
loss it makes on operations. Brius will receive
a higher Medi-Cal reimbursement rate afliat-
ed with the medical center than on its own
one reason the San Mateo County Health
System said other operators were not willing
to take over the facility and its patients as a
freestanding operation.
Brius owner Shlomo Rechnitz anticipates
heavy nancial losses the rst few years
because the patient population will be lower
during renovations but, in a prepared state-
ment, said his goal is to keep the facility open
with employees and residents in place and to
ensure the safety of every patient we care for.
The county will provide food services for 30
days after the 2015 transfer date to Brius at an
estimated cost of $75,000 and leave all the
equipment, furnishing and supplies at no
charge.
Fraser said the Health System researched
Brius thoroughly before agreeing to the
arrangement and found the company, which
operates dozens of facilities statewide, to be
strong.
Frankly, we were quite impressed, Fraser
said.
If serious problems develop before the
October 2015 transfer, the county has the right
to terminate the contract and all renovation
costs will be on Brius, Fraser said.
Fraser, who signed a nondisclosure form,
was not at liberty to answer Supervisor Carole
Grooms inquiry into the companys nances
but said it appears sound.
Im not worried, she said.

in the head with the tool during an
argument. The victim said
Buffington left his Sacramento

staying at his Redwood City resi-
dence. Prior to the confrontation,
Bufngton allegedly discovered a

January, submit-
ted false invoices
totaling $100,926 for payment from the
district's solar panel fund. The invoices
were for construction work at the
schools that was never performed,
Wagstaffe said.
The defendant, who was arrested at
his home on Friday, has been charged
with six counts of felony embezzle-
ment of public funds one for each of
the phony invoices, Wagstaffe said.
In April, Hanretty was charged with
misappropriating public funds from the
Woodside Elementary School District,
where he worked as the chief business
ofcer.
Prosecutors allege that in November
2007, Hanretty was placed in charge of
securing a loan not to exceed $632,000
to improve an athletic eld for the ele-
mentary district.
Hanretty allegedly presented fraudu-
lent paperwork without the knowledge
of the school board and obtained a loan
of $2.6 million, Wagstaffe said.
The school board gave the defendant
a $5,000 bonus for completing the ath-
letic eld project on time and on budg-
et while he was allegedly using the
excess funds to pay for projects at vari-
ous schools without the board's
approval, Wagstaffe said.
The fraud was discovered in
November 2011 when the school dis-
trict conducted an investigation to
determine why its debt was unusually
high, according to the district attorney's
ofce.
Hanretty has been charged with one
count of embezzlement of public funds,
forgery and ling a false document in
connection with the case, Wagstaffe
said.
Ex-superintendent pleads not guilty to theft
Sheriffs Ofce validates
120 gangmembers on coast
The San Mateo County Sheriffs
Ofce special gang suppression unit
has made more than 120 validations
of gangmembers within three months
of operation along the coastside,
according to a city of Half Moon Bay
press release.
The Sheriffs Ofce Coastside
Neighborhood Response Team has
been actively monitoring and verify-
ing local gang activities in Half Moon
Bay and the greater coastside area to
assist in criminal investigations
involving gangmembers and reduce
the number of gang-related incidents,
according to the press release.
The response team has obtained
more than 120 gang validations and
more than 75 documented gang afli-
ations. The validations reect the
number of individuals who meet the
states rigorous standards for gang
identication, which include such cri-
teria as self-admission to being a
gangmember, possessing identiable
gang-related symbols, being implicat-
ed by a reliable source and having a
connection with known gangmem-
bers. The documented afliations rep-
resent individuals who have been
interviewed by the response team but
do not yet meet the minimum criteria,
according to the press release.
Those who have been previously
validated per the states requirements
are subject to more severe charges in
criminal cases brought against them.
The additional gang enhancement
charge can add signicant penalties to
a criminals sentence and probation
requirements, which create a strong
deterrent for individuals who have
been previously validated, according
to the press release.
Agreement to fund Caltrain
modernization approved
The approval yesterday by the city
of San Jose is the last endorsement
needed for a regional agreement to
fully fund the modernization of the
Caltrain system, according to the tran-
sit agency.
The agreement leverages local,
regional and federal funding to secure
hundreds of millions of dollars in state
high-speed rail funds for the
Peninsula. The next step will be the
state Legislatures approval of fund-
ing later this month through the annu-
al budget process. If funding is
approved, riders could see an electri-
ed and modernized Caltrain system
as soon as 2019.
In addition to funding Caltrain
modernization, the agreement also
calls for future improvements to
accommodate integrated Caltrain and
high-speed rail service between San
Francisco and San Jose.
San Bruno police seek
identity of possible witness
The San Bruno Police Department
is seeking the publics help in identi-
fying an individual that was involved
in an altercation in the area of San
Bruno and Third avenues at about
1:43 a.m., Saturday, May 26.
On that date and time, police
received reports of several individuals
chasing an unknown man along the
south sidewalk of San Bruno Avenue
toward the Valero gas station at
Second and San Bruno avenues. The
suspects chasing the man were later
involved in an incident that occurred a
short distance away. Police believe the
unknown man may be able to provide
assistance in the investigation.
Police are also attempting to deter-
mine the identity of anyone else that
may have witnessed the incident, par-
ticular those who reported it by tele-
phone to police.
Anyone with information pertain-
ing to the identity of the unknown
man or any other information regard-
ing the incident is urged to call the
San Bruno Police Department at
(650) 616-7100.

MILLBRAE I
recently attended a
family funeral in
Southern California.
The burial took
place at a long
established Catholic
Cemetery which
later decided to build a Mortuary facility on
their property. I knew from past experience
that this cemetery was well maintained and
had a good reputation. The immediate
family had other loved-ones buried at the
cemetery and wished to return this time too.
With the knowledge that this cemetery had a
Mortuary on the grounds they trusted it to be
convenient and decided to have this facility
handle the funeral arrangements.
Prior to the funeral I had some phone
contact with the Mortuary staff and saw
nothing out of the ordinary. But soon after I
spoke to family members who relayed
troubling details such as higher than average
costs, questionable service and other
apprehensions that raised a red-fag. I
listened carefully taking into consideration
that funerals and arrangements may be
conducted differently in Southern California
(as compared to here on the Peninsula).
Later though I discovered that these
concerns and others were all valid as I
experienced them myself during the funeral.
Coming from the background of owning
a family run and community supportive
funeral home I was embarrassed at what I
saw as a production line process with little
compassion or time to care for the families
this Mortuary is supposed to be serving.
I wondered how the Catholic Church
could allow this Mortuary to operate in such
a manner? Well, I did some research and
discovered that the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles has mortuaries located on a
number of their cemetery properties, but
does not operate them. According to the
Funeral Consumers Alliance of Southern
California the Archdiocese has an
arrangement with Stewart Enterprises
which is a New Orleans based mortuary
corporation. Stewart Enterprises runs a
website called Catholic Mortuaries.com
giving a misleading impression to many that
the Catholic Church operates these facilities.
When patronizing one of these
mortuaries on Catholic cemetery grounds
most families assume that they will be
receiving a level of comfort as they would
from their local church or parish priest.
None of this was evident during my
experience of extremely high costs
(compared to what was received) and the
dis-interested service provided by the
mortuary staff. I dont see this as a failing
of the Catholic cemetery, but of those in
charge of running this mortuary.
The point Im trying to make is to do
your homework and shop for a Funeral
establishment you are comfortable with.
Just because a Mortuary is located on
cemetery property doesnt mean they are
your only choice or that they offer fair costs
or give better quality ofservice. You have
the right to select what ever funeral home
you wish to conduct the arrangements. Talk
to various funeral directors, and ask friends
and families who they would recommend.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Four candidates want to be considered for
two vacancies on the Millbrae Elementary
School District Board of Trustees.
An empty seat became available with last
months death of Caroline Shea,who was in
the middle of serving her fth term on the
board. A second opening will be created by
the pending relocation of Trustee Marjory
Luxenberg. She ofcially leaves her position
June 30. The terms of both women are set to
expire in 2013. The district decided to appoint
people to ll the position. Applications were
due Friday. Four applied Denis Fama, Lynne
Ferrario, Jeff Steinberg and Craig Yutaka
Yonemura.
Candidate interviews will be scheduled for
a June 25 meeting, at which point the board
could decide to vote or wait until another
meeting to make the decision, said
Superintendent Linda Luna.
Luxenberg will only be able to vote on the
appointment to Sheas seat.
Fama, an active volunteer in the Millbrae
community, lists his profession as a nonprot
consultant and college instructor, according to
his application. He holds a bachelors degree
in history from San Francisco State University
and a masters in nonprot management from
the University of California. He has worked as
a consultant with the Millbrae Education
Foundation and facilitated joint planning ses-
sions between the district and foundation.
Fama is also the chair of the Citizens
Oversight Committee for the school bond and
has a granddaughter at Green Hills
Elementary School.
The ongoing successful education of chil-
dren in our community is an important stan-
dard by which we should be judged. While
test scores, rankings and graduation rates are
a measure of how well we do, it is the quality
of person that our school district produces that
counts post, Fama wrote as part of his per-
sonal statement.
Ferrario recently retired from a principal in
the district. Through her years at Lomita Park
Elementary School, Ferrario is familiar with
the district and working with curriculum, the
unions and foundation, she noted in her appli-
cation. Ferrario holds a bachelors in psychol-
ogy and speech and a masters in educational
administration from San Francisco State
University.
Ferrario listed a number of reasons to apply
for the position including being dedicated to
quality education for all students. She previ-
ously worked as a teacher before taking an
administrative role.
We need to give our children the tools to
be productive, responsible and enthusiastic
members of our community now and in the
future. It is also important to make sure that
our staff has the necessary curriculum and
training to prepare our students from the com-
mon core standards, she wrote.
Steinberg is executive director of Sojourn to
the Past, which offers a civil rights education-
al program for students. The program began
12 years ago. Steinberg holds a bachelors
degree in social science.
Diversity is one of the mainstays of any
educational or societal goal. And the Millbrae
School District can use an advocate for equity
and diversity amongst all the issues involved
in student education, he wrote on his appli-
cation.
Yonemura is a periodontist who also has
worked since 1995 as an adjunct assistant
clinical professor, lecturer and volunteer fac-
ulty at the University of San Francisco. He
notes a strong support of public education, of
which he is a product, as one of the reasons
for putting in his application. Yonemura holds
a bachelors degree in physiology/sociology
from the University of California at Berkeley
and dentistry training from the University of
California at San Francisco.
While technology will be the driving force
for future advances, sound fundamentals are a
prerequisite for a successful education.
Without a rm foundation, creativity and
potential cannot be fully realized, he wrote in
his personal statement.
Those appointed will be able to run for
ofce in November 2013 to serve a full four-
year term, according to Luna.
Heather Murtagh can be reached by email:

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
OAKLAND A 19-year-old Oakland man
was convicted Tuesday of two counts of rst-
degree murder for fatally shooting two teenagers
in West Oakland nearly two years ago.
Prosecutor Charles Wilson told jurors in his
closing argument Monday that Nicholas Harris
killed 18-year-old Nario Jackson and 17-year-
old Edward Hampton in front of the Acorn pub-
lic housing project in the 1000 block of Eighth
Street at about 3:30 p.m. on Nov. 6, 2010,
because he wanted to prove himself to his gang.
Jurors deliberated for less than a full day
before announcing their verdict in the packed
courtroom of Alameda County Superior Court
Judge Morris Jacobson, which was guarded by
six sheriffs deputies and four district attorney
investigators who Jacobson asked to sit in the
front row to provide extra security.
Family members of Harris, Jackson and
Hampton brawled outside the Rene C. Davidson
Courthouse during the lunch break in the trial on
Monday so deputies escorted the families from
the courtroom separately today to try to avoid
more ghts.
As the families left the courtroom Tuesday,
Jacobson told them, Go in peace. Let this trou-
ble end here.
Harris, who faces a state prison term of 100
years to life when hes sentenced by Jacobson on
Sept. 21, looked straight ahead and showed no
emotion when the verdict was announced. But
his family members as well as the family mem-
bers of Jackson and Hampton started sobbing
and breathing heavily.
Wilson said Harris belonged to the Gas Town
Gang and wanted to prove himself to his gang
colleagues because they thought he had let them
down by allowing another member to be killed
in a previous incident.
He said Harris killed Jackson and Hampton
because he thought it would put him back in the
good graces of his gang.
Wilson said Jackson was afliated with the
Gas Town Gang but Harris targeted him because
Jackson also was afliated with other groups,
including the rival Ghost Town Gang. Jackson
was a turf hopper and that wasnt acceptable to
other gang members, Wilson said.
The prosecutor alleged that Harris targeted
Hampton because Hampton belonged to the
DNI Squeeze Team gang in East Oakland.
Wilson said Harris red multiple shots at
Jackson and Hampton as they sat in a blue
Jaguar in front of the Acorn housing project,
which he said is in the Gas Town Gangs territo-
ry. Jackson had borrowed the Jaguar from some-
one else, he said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Democratic lawmakers
say they balanced Californias budget and
passed it on time for the second year in a row
an achievement they say will begin to
restore public confidence in the state
Legislature.
But is the budget really done? No.
Lawmakers last week passed the main
budget bill calling for $92 billion in state
spending for the scal year starting July 1, but
they didnt take up about 20 companion meas-
ures known as trailer bills.
Such supporting legislation contains the
implementing language of the budget and
directs the state on the most contentious
issues from welfare and health care cuts to
funding for jail construction and the rst leg
of a bullet train.
Both houses scheduled oor sessions this
week to potentially take up more trailer bills.
At the same time, Democratic leaders contin-
ue to negotiate with Gov. Jerry Brown on the
level of cuts to welfare and other sticking
points.
Assembly Speaker John
Perez said the action taken
Friday by the Legislature
balances the budget and
puts California on track.
The plan to close a $15.7
billion shortfall relies
heavily on the assumption
that voters will approve a
tax increase on the
November ballot. If the
ballot measure fails, automatic cuts will trig-
ger and drastically reduce funding to public
schools.
Tax opponents say Democrats passed an
incomplete budget lled with gimmicks so
they can continue getting paid, referring to a
provision in California law that blocks pay for
legislators if they fail to pass a budget on time.
Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis
Taxpayers Association, an anti-tax group, said
even last years budget was lled with overly
optimistic assumptions about tax collections.
On Friday, legislators sent to you the latest
spending plan that was, once again, billions of
dollars short of a balanced budget, Coupal
wrote in a newsletter to supporters. Why?
Because legislators knew that as long as they
sent you a budget no matter how unbal-
anced they would still get their paychecks.
This is an insult to the intelligence of
California voters.
No one this year has challenged whether
lawmakers have met their requirement for
passing a prompt budget under Proposition
25, a 2010 voter-approved measure that
allows Democrats to pass the budget on a one-
party vote.
State Treasurer Bill Lockyer said he
believed the plan is nanceable, meaning it
would allow the state to borrow an estimated
$10 billion for daily cash ow needs.
In a budget dispute last year, the state con-
troller tried to halt lawmakers pay for 12 days
after he concluded they had failed to meet
their constitutional June 15 deadline for pass-
ing a balanced budget. However, a judge shot
down the move, saying the controllers ofce
lacked such authority.
Although Democrats passed an initial
spending plan to meet the deadline, Brown
vetoed it and said it was unbalanced. A second
budget was passed June 28, 2011.
At the time, an attorney representing the
controller had warned that the judge was over-
looking voters demands for timely, balanced
budgets from the Legislature.
You could take a piece of paper and write,
We estimate revenues will meet spending
and you could wrap it around a ham sandwich
and you could send it over to the governor and
you can call it budget and you can keep your
pay, said attorney Ross Moody. But its still
a ham sandwich.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg
said Monday that Democrats didnt send the
governor a nothing budget. He suggested
the differences with the governor are small.
I think the single biggest symbol of peo-
ples frustration with the state of California
and certainly the state Legislature, are these
interminably late budgets. It became kind of a
ritual and not a fun ritual by the way,
Steinberg said. I know that over time that
will help renew condence by the people in
state government.
According to the latest statewide survey by
the Public Policy Institute of California, 17
percent of likely voters approve of the
Legislature. Brown has 42 percent approval.
Democrats not done with state budget

SACRAMENTO Two weeks after
California elections, a closely watched effort
to impose a new tax on tobacco in the nations
most populous state remains too close to call.
With 400,000 ballots outstanding as of
Tuesday, the measure that would add a $1-a-
pack cigarette tax is trailing by 17,500 votes,
according to data compiled by the secretary of
state.
Through a barrage of campaign ads, tobac-
co companies were able to cut support for the
tax plan spearheaded by champion cyclist
Lance Armstrong. Backing for the measure
dwindled from a two-thirds majority in March
down to a dead heat on Election Day.
Opponents raised $47 million to ght the
proposal, dramatically outspending support-
ers, who raised $12 million.
Since the June 5 voting, Proposition 29 has
seemed headed for defeat by razor-thin mar-
gins, generally trailing by less than a percent-
age point.
In election night returns, the proposal,
which would in part fund cancer research, was
losing by tens of thousands of votes, prompt-
ing many to assume it was dead. But support-
ers have refused to concede defeat.
Last week, someone was thinking about
having a press conference and conceding, and
everybody else said, Are you out of your
mind? said Stan Glantz of the University of
California, San Franciscos Center for
Tobacco Control Research and Education.
Glantz has been running statistical analyses
of the returns since the polls closed and said
the chances of a reversal are unlikely but not
impossible.
At this point, everybodys just biting their
ngernails, he said.
Tobacco tax trails by thin margin
Chance of contempt vote
against attorney general rises
WASHINGTON A Republican House
committee chairman said Tuesday he is pre-
pared to follow through on a contempt vote
against Attorney General Eric Holder unless
the Justice Department provides Congress
with documents on a awed gun-smuggling
probe.
The likelihood of a contempt vote on
Wednesday rose after Rep. Darrell Issa, R-
Calif., and Holder failed to reach agreement in
a 20-minute meeting at the Capitol.
If we receive no documents, well go for-
ward, Issa told reporters.
Holder told reporters he would not turn over
documents on the gun-smuggling probe called
Operation Fast and Furious unless Issa agreed
to another meeting. The attorney general said
he would explain what is in the materials at
that time. Holder wants an assurance from
Issa that the transfer of the records would sat-
isfy a subpoena from the House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee that Issa
chairs.
We have offered to make materials avail-
able, documents available ... to brief on those
documents, to answer any questions that
might come up with regard to the documents
that we produced, the attorney general said.
The balls in their court, Holder said. We
made what we thought was an extraordinary
offer.
Issa took a different view: After this meet-
ing I cannot say that I am optimistic for
avoiding a contempt vote, he said.
Ex-Pearl Jam management
exec charged with theft
SEATTLE A man who worked as the
chief nancial ofcer for Pearl Jams manage-
ment company has been charged with 33
counts of theft.
In charges led earlier this month, 54-year-
old Rickey Charles Goodrich, of Navato,
Calif., is accused of using his position with
Curtis Inc. to bilk the grunge rock band out of
$380,000 from 2006 until he was red in
September 2010.
The seattlepi.com reports Goodrich
declined to comment Tuesday. Hes expected
to enter a plea at his June 28 arraignment in
King County Superior Court.
Prosecutors say Goodrich transferred
money from company accounts to pay debts
and personal expenses including family vaca-
tions and wine.

NATION 8
LOS CABOS, Mexico With
major European economies on the
brink of collapse, world leaders
concluding an annual Group of 20
meeting were left Tuesday with two
different paths to ease the nancial
crisis: Spend more to try to stimu-
late growth or slash budgets in a bid
to restore investor condence.
For months, that dilemma has
loomed over governments and econ-
omists as they struggled to put out a
debt-fueled economic wildre that
has threatened banks, wiped out
jobs and toppled governments all
over Europe. But on Tuesday, presi-
dents and prime ministers meeting
in this seaside resort seemed content
to delay any decision for a while
longer, according to a draft state-
ment leaked ahead of the G-20s
conclusion.
Still, the battle lines in the stimu-
lus-versus-austerity debate were
clearly drawn among the 24 heads
of state gathered in a heavily guard-
ed convention hall lined by a moat.
The conservative leaders of the
United Kingdom, South Korea and
Germany came out decisively for
austerity, warning that budget cuts
were crucial to restoring scal order
and worldwide condence.
The countries in crisis will have
to find measures that might be
painful and politically unpopular in
the short term, but nonetheless they
must pursue this path, South
Korean President Lee Myung-bak
said Monday.
On the other side were left-lean-
ing governments such as those in
Argentina, Brazil and France that
have denounced the German-
imposed austerity plan for strug-
gling countries such as Spain and
Greece and pushed for more stimu-
lus spending.
After Argentine President Cristina
Fernandez met with her Brazilian
counterpart, Dilma Rousseff, the
two sides were united in their oppo-
sition to the existing bailout plan.
At the same time, they agree that
we need to listen to Europe, espe-
cially to Germany, to see what
measures it proposes to exit the euro
crisis, Argentine Foreign Minister
Hector Timerman said.
Mexican President Felipe
Calderon said the summit ended
with a signed document that includ-
ed a comprehensive plan for the
future but without details. The doc-
ument had yet to be released.
European leaders plan to release a
more complete response to the con-
tinents financial crisis during a
summit at the end of June in
Brussels.
Leaders weigh stimulus vs. austerity at G-20
LOS CABOS, Mexico Seeking
to sooth global economic fears, U.S.
ofcials said they were encouraged
that European leaders appeared
ready to undertake a more forceful
response to the continents crippling
debt crisis while still focusing on
much-needed growth.
Treasury Secretary Timothy
Geithner, speaking Tuesday at the
close of the Group of 20 summit,
said Europe was nearing key deci-
sions aimed at stabilizing the euro-
zone. Those steps, he said, include a
stronger framework to strengthen the
continents financial system and
helping countries like Spain and Italy
borrow at sustainable interest rates.
Were encouraged by what we
heard from the European leaders
today and by the broad focus around
the world were seeing to the need to
strengthen economic growth,
Geithner said.
Geithner spoke following
President Barack Obamas private
meeting Tuesday with the leaders of
B r i t a i n ,
Germany, Italy,
France, Spain
and the European
Union. The con-
tinents leaders
were to outline
the specics of
their plans dur-
ing a summit in
Brussels next
week, a meeting
Geithner called critical.
A senior U.S. ofcial said Europe
would offer a more forceful
response than they have contem-
plated to date during the Brussels
summit. The Obama ofcial said the
European strategy will be based
around building more viable nan-
cial institutions over time but also
economic growth measures in the
short term, a step Obama has been
urging for some time.
The ofcial spoke on condition of
anonymity to characterize private
talks without trumping the formal
comments of leaders.
While Obama, as leader of the
giant but struggling U.S. economy, is
central to the Europe talks, it is the
continents leaders, led by German
Chancellor, Angela Merkel, who
carry both the power and responsibil-
ity to stabilize a eurozone reeling
from debt, banking and political
problems.
Obama immersed himself in the
economic talks Tuesday before meet-
ing separately with Chinese
President Hu Jintao and holding a
news conference. He was to be back
in Washington by the early hours of
Wednesday, where a erce re-elec-
tion campaign and a slumping U.S.
jobs market await him.
The leaders gathered on the
Mexican coast seemed intent on
sending the right signals to jittery
markets and unhappy electorates.
Merkel told reporters Tuesday that
the European leaders present made a
unied statement that they were will-
ing to tackle their problems.
Still, European leaders were show-
ing ashes that they have heard
enough about their troubles, particu-
larly from Americans.

2013 despite the threat that an
impending half-trillion-dollar ava-
lanche of tax increases and spending
cuts might rekindle a national reces-
sion.
The reason: an unprecedented colli-
sion of high-stakes scal decisions,
coming at a time of intense partisan-
ship, a teetering economy, record fed-
eral decits and, possibly, a new presi-
dent.
Campaigning for the White House
and Congress will make substantive
action all but impossible before the
elections. And agreement may be near-
ly as tough during a post-election, lame
duck session in November and
December, barring a European nan-
cial meltdown or Middle East oil sup-
ply crisis that demands an immediate
response by lawmakers.
I dont know how a Congress that
cant agree on anything in two years is
all of a sudden going to come together
with the administration in the last 45
days of the year to solve the problem,
said Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio.
No one can condently predict the
outcome of the battle over what many
are calling the scal cliff. Much
depends on whether President Barack
Obama defeats Republican challenger
Mitt Romney in November and which
party controls Congress.
If Romney wins, Republicans will
want to delay decisions until he takes
ofce in January. In that case, a lame
duck session would focus on postpon-
ing the spending cuts and extending
current tax rates for six months to a
year. If Obama is re-elected, the ght
could easily stretch into 2013 due to
the complex issues and the parties
deep differences.
When political and economic stakes
reach these levels, the solution almost
always comes from party leaders and
the White House. Many in Washington
expect that to be true this time as well.
Even so, bipartisan groups of sena-
tors are seeking middle ground, meet-
ing in a Washington town house, a
restaurant and discreet Capitol hide-
aways. A common starting point has
been a debt-reduction plan by a 2010
commission headed by Democrat
Erskine Bowles and Republican Alan
Simpson.
Clash nearing over
tax boosts and cuts
Dad wont face charges in
alleged attackers death
SHINER, Texas A young Texas
father who beat to death with his sts a
man molesting his 5-year-old daughter
will not be charged, authorities said
Tuesday as they released a dramatic 911
tape of the dad frantically pleading for
help before the hired ranch helper died.
A Lavaca County grand jury Tuesday
declined to indict the 23-year-old father
in the death of Jesus Mora Flores, 47.
Prosecutors said the grand jury reached
same conclusion as police after review-
ing the evidence: The father was author-
ized to use deadly force to protect his
daughter.
The attack happened on the familys
ranch off a quiet, two-lane county road
between the farming towns of Shiner
and Yoakum. Authorities say a witness
saw Flores forcibly carrying the girl
into a secluded area and then scrambled
to nd the father. Running toward his
daughters screams, investigators said,
the father pulled Flores off his child and
inicted several blows to the mans
head and neck area.
Southern Baptists elect
first black president
NEW ORLEANS The Southern
Baptist Convention voted Tuesday to
elect its rst African-American presi-
dent in one of its biggest steps yet to
reconcile the 167-year-old denomina-
tions troubled racial past and appeal to
a more diverse group of believers.
The Rev. Fred Luter Jr. was unop-
posed in being elected by thousands of
enthusiastic delegates on Tuesday at the
annual meeting of the nations largest
Protestant denomination in his home-
town of New Orleans.
Pastor David Crosby of First Baptist
New Orleans nominated Luter, calling
him a re-breathing, miracle-working
pastor who would likely be a candi-
date for sainthood if he were Catholic.

OPINION 9
Leaf blowers are not a
public health hazard?
Editor,
John Mario Chetcuti says there is no
scientic evidence that leaf blowers are
a public health hazard (Leaf blower
health claims not based on science
published in the June 13 edition of the
Daily Journal). Thus, there is no proof
that sending dried feces airborne is
unhealthy. But is not sending feces air-
borne unhealthy?
My apartment is quite remote from a
big road 150 feet from a little street
and 1,000 feet from El Camino Real.
But all of the structures and cars in the
yard are covered with dust. Blowers
probably raise it from the soil and
spread it around. In other places, folks
cant dry their laundry on clotheslines
in their backyards or patios also
because of blowers.
In my native country, people do not
use leaf blowers. Once a year, they just
take a rake and drag all of the leaves
from under their bushes. Why cant
Americans do the same? I do not
know.
Yevgeniy Lysyy
Palo Alto
Leaf blowers
Editor,
I want to thank the Burlingame
City Council for their thoughtfully-
crafted initiative to regulate leaf
blower use in our community. I
look forward to several days each
week when our neighborhood will
no longer be blasted by these loud
and dirty machines.
Little did I know when I moved
from the bustling city to the quiet
suburbs that there would be what
sometimes seems like the constant
refrain of leaf blowers. So not only
is this a health issue, with all of
the gas fumes and grime blown up
from the street, but a quality of life
issue for those who work, raise
children and are otherwise at home
during the day.
It was heartening to see the num-
ber of responses to the city survey.
Clearly, with over 850 responses
and 55 percent of those wanting a
ban or regulation of leaf blowers,
this is an important community
issue. Progress does not always
come in the form of a machine to
make our lives easier, but rather
the recognition that people, their
health and well-being are more
important.

Roger Clemens not guilty, why
are we wasting public money?
Editor,
For the second time, Roger Clemens
was found not guilty of lying to Congress
( Clemens: Not guilty in the June 19
edition of the Daily Journal). Why are we
wasting precious tax dollars on this non-
sense? We have real criminals that should
be prosecuted. Drug dealers, murderers,
rapists, thieves, sex offenders and a host
of others should be prosecuted, not ath-
letes.
Why lying to Congress is considered a
crime dees any logic. Congressmen and
congresswomen from both parties and
houses lie to us on a daily basis. They tell
us they are reducing the size of govern-
ment when they are really increasing the
size of government. They tell us that
reducing the rate of growth from 10 per-
cent to 5 percent is a cut. Go Roger.

Letters to the editor
T
hat was quite a letter sent out
Friday evening by County
Superintendent Anne Campbell
after the San Mateo County District
Attorneys Ofce announced it was
charging former Portola Valley superin-
tendent Tim Hanretty with embezzle-
ment of public funds.
In the letter, Campbell writes how the
San Mateo County Ofce of Education
and the Portola Valley School District
became aware of possible criminal
activity when he was chief business
ofcial for the Woodside Elementary
School District. After a forensic audit
conducted by Hemming Morse, it was
revealed that there was a possible mis-
appropriation of solar project funds in
Portola Valley, according to the letter.
The charges include allegations Mr.
Hanretty diverted funds from a Portola
Valley School District solar project to
pay for construction costs on a personal
home renovation project.
The Ofce of Education is loaning up
to $300,000 to the Portola Valley
School District if needed to meet
expenses for the current scal year.
This came after the districts Board of
Trustees certied its 2011-12 second
interim budget as negative, indicating
the district will not be able to meet its
expenses for the current year and the
next two years.
Ms. Campbell offered the following
statement about the Friday arrest:
I am deeply saddened by the news
of Mr. Hanrettys arrest, but I appreci-
ate the thorough investigation that has
been conducted by Hemming Morse
and by the District Attorneys Ofce.
My focus as county superintendent will
continue to be on working together
with Portola Valley ofcials to get the
districts budget back into balance. I
know there is much still to do, but I am
condent the Portola Valley governing
board and Superintendent Carol Piraino
are on the right path.
I look forward to continuing to work
with the Portola Valley School District
in returning the budget to positive sta-
tus.
This is a responsible, and necessary,
path for the County Ofce of
Education. However, it is entirely
regrettable and perhaps even avoidable
in the future. Campbell is the former
superintendent of the Portola Valley
School District and likely knows all too
well how small the district ofce is and
how much trust is placed in the super-
intendent. Countless school ofcials
have spent their careers doing the best
in trying situations and such allegations
of embezzlement are extremely rare.
Woodside and Portola are the smallest
districts in the county. Portola has two
schools, Woodside has one. Both serve
afuent areas. There has been some
amount of discussion over the years as
to the need for such small school dis-
tricts and there is the balance
between local control and the savings
created through shared services, merg-
ers and consolidation. This is a prime
opportunity for the county Ofce of
Education to further explore opportuni-
ties for additional oversight, shared
services and potential mergers of
school districts, particularly the small
ones. Such efforts take time, and there
have been small steps taken. Some
services such as payroll could be pro-
vided by another district or even the
county Ofce of Education. As initia-
tives are found that work, trust can be
built, and then there could be expan-
sion. In the meantime, the county
Ofce of Education is exploring ways
to reemphasize the need for nancial
oversight by elected boards of trustees.
Thats a key step because elected of-
cials are voted in to oversee staff.
This case is obviously an isolated
incident, however, there have been
many isolated incidents in recent
months when it comes to smaller dis-
tricts, particularly this one along with
the Mosquito and Vector Control
District and the Mid-Peninsula Water
District all the alleged victims of
recent embezzlement. And there may
be a tipping point when such incidents
are no longer isolated, and require fur-
ther action by those elected to oversee
these districts. That time might be now.
Another case of alleged small district theft
Food stuff
W
hat an extraordinary achievement for a civi-
lization: to have developed the one diet that
reliably makes people sick. Michael
Pollan, Food Rules.
I. Are you looking for an answer to the question of how to
get all of the nutrients you need in your daily diet? Check in
with 83-year-old Bruce Ames. He is associated with CHORI
Childrens Hospital Oakland Research Institute. He was
also a professor of biochemistry and molecular geology at
the University of California at Berkeley, researching (among
many other things) the relationship between cancer preven-
tion and aging in relation to micronutrients in our food. He
and his cohorts thought that a micronutrient deciency may
explain why the quarter of the population that eats the fewest
fruit and vegetables has double the cancer rate for most type
of cancer when compared with the quarter that consumes the
most fruit and vegetables.
Obviously a very astute
man who has won all kinds of
awards and honors for his
work, Ames and his cohorts
have been working on devel-
oping what they call a Chori
bar for seven years or so. As
reported in the San Francisco
Chronicle on May 20, this is a
bar designed specically for
people with poor eating habits
who are lacking essential
nutrients in their diets, and
potentially putting themselves
at increased risk for long-term
health problems. They say
that the purpose of the Chori bar is to increase micronutri-
ent consumption toward optimum levels.
In spite of all that, you wonder just what his purpose is in
developing such bars. Doesnt this give many people the idea
that they can eat junk food all day but if they eat two nutri-
tion bars daily they will be well-nourished? Wont this take
the focus away from eating nutritionally dense unprocessed
foods to maintain health? Could he be thinking that the bars
could eventually be used in poverty stricken countries to
help feed the starving? Maybe hes looking for a legacy to
leave that people will remember him by.
II. I wonder if we in the United States will ever be able to
tell if a product has been genetically modied (or contains
GM ingredients). Fifty countries, including the European
Union require labeling of GM products. How much longer
will the industry (largely Monsanto) control the Food and
Drug Administration? Even though no one knows what
effect such foods may be having on the human body or the
environment, or what long-term problems may arise, the
industry arrogantly carries on condent that what we
dont know wont hurt us (or their bottom line).
As Gary Hirshberg and Eric Schlosser, author of Fast
Food Nation, wrote The FDA doesnt let pharmaceuti-
cal companies test new drugs on people without their
informed consent. Consumers should have the same right to
know when it comes to what they eat. But even the narrow
dictates of that FDA rule shouldnt block the labeling of
genetically engineered foods. Everything about how they
were introduced and spread nationwide without our knowl-
edge or consent, leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
If Monsanto has its way (and with our government
increasingly becoming corporate controlled), we may never
be able to check labels for GM modication although 93
percent of Americans surveyed think genetically engineered
foods should be labeled.
III. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has gotten a lot
of ack for his attempt to ban the sale of huge soft drinks
of course, most of it emanating from the industry. And then
there are those who, like a recent San Mateo County Times
editorial and an Other Voices from the McCook (Neb.)
Daily Gazette in this newspaper, belittle his efforts. But,
good grief, weve got to start somewhere! Which reminds of
Michelle Obamas new impressive, highly illustrated tome,
American Grown. She writes, As a mother and a rst
lady, I was alarmed by the skyrocketing childhood obesity
rates and the dire consequences for our childrens health.
And I hoped this garden would help begin a conversation
about this issue a conversation about the food we eat, the
lives we lead and how all of that affects our children.
Mayor Bloomberg and Mrs. Obama are trying to make a dif-
ference, each in their own way. If more of us would emulate
them, it would make a big difference in the health of our nation.
At the least, we could refuse to purchase most of the manufac-
tured, adulterated and anti-nutritious products put out by our
opportunistic food industry that Kelly Brownell, author of
Food Fight refers to as powerful, pernicious and predatory.
But, in spite of it all, Mr. Brownell is optimistic. Being
courageous and innovative, standing tall in the face of pres-
sure from the food industry, and taking decisive action is
what the nation needs, what our children deserve, what
appears to be in our future.

NEW YORK Stocks rose sharply on
Wall Street Tuesday as traders turned their
focus back to corporate news from the U.S.
and hopes that the Federal Reserve will
come up with a plan to jumpstart the econ-
omy. Banks and materials stocks led the
market higher.
The Dow Jones industrial average
soared 95.51 points to 12,837.33, its high-
est close in a month. Microsoft was one of
the biggest gainers in the Dow. The stock
jumped 3 percent after the company
announced a new tablet computer called
Surface to compete with the immensely
popular iPad from Apple. Microsoft was
up 86 cents at $30.70.
Stock traders are also latching on to
recent signals from the Federal Reserve
that the central bank may reveal plans to
stimulate the economy at the end of its
two-day meeting Wednesday.
A good portion of todays strong mar-
ket action is from a hope factor that were
going to get more easing from the Fed,
said Peter Cardillo, chief market econo-
mist at Rockwell Global Capital.
Economists say that even if the Fed does
not act after its meeting, it will send a clear
message that it is standing by to do so if
needed.
Financial companies were among the
best performing stocks as investors hoped
for Fed action: Bank of America soared 4.5
percent, Citigroup gained 3.5 percent,
JPMorgan Chase was up 2.2 percent and
Morgan Stanley rose 3 percent.
Bank investors were also pleased to
learn that a federal housing agency will
clarify the process under which home
lenders are forced to buy back soured
home loans. The buybacks have cost banks
billions of dollars. The uncertainty sur-
rounding how much loans they will have to
repurchase from the government has led
them to reduce lending.
The agencys statement comes just as
the housing market is showing signs of
healing. American builders broke new
ground on more single-family homes in
May and requested more permits to build
homes and apartments than they have in
the past three and a half years.
The Commerce Department also said
April was much better for housing starts
than rst thought. The government revised
the gures up to 744,000, the fastest build-
ing pace since October 2008.
Material stocks rose on the prospect of
demand from home construction. US Steel
rose over 9 percent and Freeport-
McMoran Copper rose over 3 percent.
In other trading, the Standard & Poors
500 index rose 13.20 points to 1,357.98.
Seven of the 10 industry groups in the S&P
rose. The technology-heavy Nasdaq com-
posite index rose 34.43 points to 2,929.76.
The Dow Jones Utility average touched the
highest level since August 2008 before
closing slightly lower.

Big movers

WASHINGTON JPMorgan Chase
CEO Jamie Dimon had a much tougher
reception Tuesday when he returned to
Capitol Hill for a second round of ques-
tions over the banks $2 billion trading
loss.
House lawmakers from both parties
pressed Dimon on a number of fronts: Did
JPMorgan manage risk properly? Why
was the bank trading so much out of its
London ofce? Has the bank become too
large and complex to control?
The hearing before the House Financial
Services Committee was far more combat-
ive in tone than Dimons appearance last
week before the Senate Banking
Committee.
For his part, Dimon again apologized for
the trading loss and the damage it caused
to shareholders. The company has lost
about $23 billion in market value since it
came to light on May 10.
But Dimon stressed that taxpayers and
customers of the bank
were not affected by
the loss.
And when pressed,
Dimon was rm and
frank.
At one point, Rep.
Sean Duffy, R-Wis.,
asked Dimon how
high the losses could
mount.
Is it fair to say that JPMorgan could
have losses of half a trillion, or a trillion
dollars? Duffy asked.
Dimon replied bluntly: Not unless the
Earth is hit by the moon.
He avoided putting a number of the
banks trading loss, which has raised con-
cerns about the risks large banks pose to
the U.S. nancial system just four years
after the nancial crisis.
Dimon also bristled at a suggestion from
Duffy that JPMorgan has become too big
to fail. With $2.3 trillion in assets, taxpay-
ers might be asked to step in to rescue the
bank if its trades put the broader nancial
system at risk, Duffy said.
No, were not too big to fail, Dimon
told Duffy in a heated exchange. I dont
think theres any chance were going to
fail. But if we did, any losses the govern-
ment would bear should go back, be
charged to the banks.
Dimon defended the banks risk strategy
ahead of the loss.
The bank did its best to update investors
on the level of risk and trusted its methods
for assessing those risks, he said. The mod-
els used provided the best information at
the time and are frequently updated, he
said.
We disclosed what we knew when we
knew it, Dimon told the panel.
The Securities and Exchange
Commission is examining whether
JPMorgans earnings report on April 13
gave adequate information on the risk
model the bank was using.
Earlier at the hearing, SEC Chairman
Mary Schapiro told the panel there could
be violations that would merit legal sanc-
tions against the bank.
JP Morgan CEO grilled over losses

NEW YORK With the unveiling of
the Surface tablet, Microsoft is heading
into unusual territory: competing with its
partners, the very same companies that
make Windows PCs. But Microsoft has
little to lose, since PC manufacturers
have so far had very little success with
their own tablets.
With the unveiling of its tablet this
week Microsoft Corp. is taking up the
competition with Apple Inc. and its iPad
by borrowing a page from Apples play-
book. It is keeping both software and
hardware development under the same
roof.
If imitation is the sincerest form of
attery, the compliments from Microsoft
poured down like a torrential storm on
Apple last night, said analyst Brian
White at Topeka Capital Markets.
Even Steve Ballmer, Microsofts
famously tough-talking CEO sounded
downright Zen and Apple-inspired as he
introduced the Surface.
Thats a new philosophy for Microsoft,
a company accustomed to writing the
software, charging loads of money for it,
and letting others design the hardware.
Microsoft has sold hardware before,
most notably the Xbox game console,
which is essentially a PC.
Microsoft tablet risks
alienating PC makers
House panel boosts
rural air service subsidies
WASHINGTON Tea party lawmak-
ers from rural areas were among those
ghting the hardest to preserve taxpayer
subsidies for airline ights into and out
of small towns last year after senior
Republicans tried to eliminate the oft-
criticized program. Now, the House
Appropriations Committee is awarding
the program an 11 percent budget hike.
Next year, the subsidies would reach a
record $214 million under a bill the
GOP-run committee approved Tuesday.
The subsidies can reach hundreds of
dollars per ticket and can exceed
$1,000 in a few cases though a recent
overhaul of the program will soon take
care of such cases.
Last year, the House voted to eliminate
the program in the lower 48 states by
2013. But rural tea party lawmakers like
Reps. Rick Berg, R-N.D., and Kristi
Noem, R-S.D., were among those who
fought to save it.

N
ick Manessis will be the rst to
admit he is not the best athlete
around. He knows his
strengths while at the same time
acknowledges his weaknesses.
But when you factor in his mental acu-
men, coupled with his competitive
nature, it adds up to one of the most
impressive high school resumes youll
ever see.
Im very competitive. It doesnt have
to be just sports, Manessis said. It
could be sports, it could be bingo.
A three-sport star at Terra Nova,
Manessis had a senior year most athletes
would envy: a rst-team, all-Peninsula
Athletic League member in football and
basketball, and the PAL Bay Division
baseball Player of the Year. He was also
awarded the Terra Nova co-senior ath-
lete of the year (along with Chris
Forbes) as well as the schools Eye of
the Tiger award which factors in both
athletic and academic achievements.
For the rst time in school history,
we gave the awards to one person, said
Bill Gray, Terra Nova football coach and
athletic director.
Manessis now has one more honor to
add to resume: Daily Journal Male
Athlete of the Year.
I always thought if I played one
sport, I could excel at it, maybe get a
(college) scholarship, Manessis said.
But I loved all the sports and I couldnt
choose. I gured Id try to be the best in
each one.
Mission accomplished. As a receiver,
free safety and kicker for the Tigers
football team, Manessis caught 50 pass-
es for 893 yards and 12 touchdowns
while pulling down seven interceptions
and nishing with 100 tackles, hitting
double digits in six games. In a 44-30 win
over Sacred Heart Prep in the PAL Bay
Division opener last season, Manessis
accounted for 26 points with three
touchdown catches, ve extra points, a
32-yard eld goal, ve catches for 107
yards and an interception.
Hes just a pleasure to coach. You
only have to tell him once. Hes reliable,
hes accountable, he understands criti-
cism, hes humble, hes not outspoken,
but kids follow him. Hell, the coaches
follow him, Gray said. From a coach-
ing standpoint, you look at a kid and
make the simple statement: he gets it.
Sometime we have a hard time explain-
ing what it is. He gets school, he gets
the athletic part of it. Hes an above-
average athlete, not a great athlete. His
success comes from his work ethic.

Its still relatively early in the Palomino sea-
son. But if theres one thing that is crystal
clear, its that White Sox manager Lenny
Souza has a problem most managers dream of.
We can swing it a little bit, Souza said.
When I put the team together, it just seemed
that we ended up with so many corner ineld
guys and so many corner outeld guys and I
was worried about how I was going to get
them their at-bats and their reps. Its worked
out to where we just hit very well because we
have so many corner guys. There are a lot of
bats going through that order.
Those potent bats were on display Tuesday
at Aragon High School in a 15-5 win over
Hardtke Baseball Academy. San Mateo starter
Aldo Severson surrendered four runs in the
top of the rst inning. But all that did was
awaken White Sox bats in a slumber since last
Thursday.
Aldo didnt have his best stuff today,
Souza said. [Jonathan] Murphy came in and
threw gas and whenever we needed offense,
these guys answered.
The White Sox answered in an emphatic
way.
The top of the first wasnt entirely
Seversons fault. He only surrendered two
hits, but the San Mateo defense had a pair of
errors that prolonged the inning. After the
chaos, the Braves found themselves up 4-0.

MIAMI LeBron James better get well
fast. Hes about to play for a championship.
Hardly able to move, James returned from a
left leg injury to make the tiebreaking 3-point-
er with 2:54 remaining
and the Miami Heat held
off Russell Westbrook and
the Oklahoma City
Thunder for a 104-98 vic-
tory on Tuesday night and
a 3-1 lead in the NBA
Finals.
With James watching
the nal moments, Mario
Chalmers finished off a
stellar 25-point effort that matched Dwyane
Wade. James had 26 points, 12 assists and nine
rebounds, only missing a triple-double
because he was on the bench at the end after
hurting his leg in a fall near the Thunder bas-
ket.
Game 5 is Thursday night and James will
have a chance to nish a championship chase
that started in Cleveland before he famously -
- or infamously -- left for South Florida before
last season. No team has blown a 3-1 lead in
the nals.
Westbrook scored 43 points for the Thunder,
who wasted an early 17-point lead but were

OAKLAND Brandon McCarthy showed no
signs of an ailing shoulder in seven impressive
innings, winning his third straight start and sixth
consecutive decision to lead the Oakland Athletics
past the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-0 on Tuesday
night.
Seth Smith and Jonny Gomes each hit RBI sin-
gles, and Coco Crisp reached four times and stole
three bases as the As beat the NL West-leading
club that began the day with baseballs best record.
McCarthy (6-3) outpitched former As starter
Aaron Harang (5-4), who couldnt overcome a
career-high eight walks and his 40-pitch rst
inning. Harang, traded by Texas to the As in
November 2000, made his major league debut in
the Oakland Coliseum on May 25, 2002.
On Tuesday, he looked far from the same pitch-
er who tossed seven scoreless innings and struck
out 10 that day.
McCarthy Oaklands opening day starter
pitched for the rst time since June 7 after he was
scratched from his scheduled start last Wednesday
at Colorado because of a sore shoulder. He was his
usual dominant self, allowing only one runner past
rst when Andre Ethier advanced on Bobby
Abreus fourth-inning groundout.
McCarthy allowed two hits, struck out ve and
walked only one in a strong 81-pitch outing that
featured 56 pitches for strikes.
While these teams met for just the 23rd time in
regular-season history, they faced off in two mem-
orable World Series matchups Oaklands 1974
championship in ve games and the Dodgers title
in 88 also in ve games. The As are 10-2 in the
series at home.
Harang was done after 3 2-3 innings for his
shortest outing since 2010 while with Cincinnati.
He allowed three runs on three hits and struck out
six while throwing a whopping 105 pitches.
This is hardly how the Dodgers hoped to begin
their rst Bay Area trip of the season they
return to play the division rival Giants in San
Francisco next week.
This is a team anybody in Northern California
doesnt particularly care for, As manager Bob
Melvin said.
The As staked McCarthy to an early lead on
Smiths rst-inning RBI single that took a big
bounce over center elder Tony Gwynn Jr.s glove
for a two-base error that allowed a second run to
score. Gomes singled three batters later.
When Harang reached 40 pitches in the rst, he
yelled into his glove as he walked off the mound
already trailing 3-0. Those would be all the runs
Oakland needed.
Grant Balfour pitched the eighth, and Ryan
Cook nished the two-hit shutout Oaklands
seventh for his fourth save in ve chances. The
Dodgers were blanked for the third time.
Crisp walked in each of his rst three plate
appearances and singled in the sixth. He stole his
11th and 12th bases in the fourth and No. 13 in the
sixth, extending his streak to 36 straight successful
attempts. Its an Athletics franchise record since
caught stealing became an ofcial stat in 1920.
Notes: As RHP reliever Andrew Carignan
underwent Tommy John right elbow ligament
reconstructive surgery Tuesday in New York, per-
formed by Mets Dr. David Altchek. ... Oakland
RHP starter Bartolo Colon, who left his Sunday
start against the Padres with a strained right
oblique muscle, will be placed on the disabled list

ANAHEIM Albert Pujols hit a three-run
homer, Mark Trumbo added a three-run triple
while driving in ve runs, and Mike Trout
matched his career high with four hits in the Los
Angeles Angels 12-5 victory over the San
Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.
C.J. Wilson (8-4) allowed season-highs of ve
runs and 10 hits, but the Angels backed him with
their highest-scoring performance of the season.
Los Angeles battered Barry Zito (5-5) for
eight runs on nine hits in just 3 1-3 innings, start-
ing with Pujols rst-inning homer before the
pitcher had recorded an out.
In the California clubs rst series at Angel
Stadium since the 2002 World Series, the Angels
moved back to a season-high ve games over
.500 with their eighth win in 11 games.
Trout went 4 for 4 with a walk and scored four
runs while getting enough plate appearances to
move into the AL batting title race at .337, trail-
ing only Chicagos Paul Konerko. The rookie
led off the rst and second innings with doubles,
and Pujols drove him home both times the
15th and 16th times that has happened since
May 1.
Pujols drove in four runs and made back-to-
back stellar defensive plays to end a seventh-
inning rally by the Giants, who trailed 9-1 after
four innings. Trumbo cleared the bases in the
fourth, missing a 400-foot homer by inches,
before adding a two-run single in the eighth to
cap his three-hit game.
Wilson wasnt totally sharp and got spotty
defense during his 6 1-3 innings. His AL-leading
ERA rose to 2.44, yet the Angels have won each
of their new left-handers last six starts.
Zito had yet another rough outing in a six-year
stint full of missteps since moving across the
Bay from Oakland to San Francisco. The rst
ve Angels reached base against him in Los
Angeles four-run rst inning, and the left-han-
der departed in the fourth inning with the bases
loaded for Trumbos triple off George Kontos.

KIEV, Ukraine France was
outplayed, outfought and outscored,
and that was against a team with
nothing to play for.
With world champion Spain now
waiting in the quarternals of the
European Championship, things
better improve quickly for the
French to stand a chance of going
any further.
France limped into the knockout
round of Euro 2012 despite a 2-0
loss to Sweden in their nal group
game, showing just how much the
team still needs to improve to be
true contenders in the tournament.
The French finished second in
Group D after England beat Ukraine
1-0, and will face Spain on Saturday
in the quarternals.
You have to be optimistic to
think that we can beat Spain, but its
hard right now to imagine that we
can. We have to do better on
Saturday, France coach Laurent
Blanc said. We wanted to nish top
of the group but couldnt manage it,
so we have to deal with that.
Frances 23-game unbeaten streak
came to a crashing end as the
already-eliminated Swedes exposed
frailties in the back four and neu-
tralized the dual attacking threat of
Karim Benzema and Franck Ribery.
The Swedes dominated proceed-
ings for much of the game and
Zlatan Ibrahimovic broke the dead-
lock with a piece of artistry in the
54th minute, sending a spectacular
volley past helpless goalkeeper
Hugo Lloris. Sweden had plenty of
chances to add a second before
Sebastian Larsson finally did in
injury time to secure the teams rst
points of the tournament.
We really wanted to win this
game for the fans, their support has
been fantastic, Ibrahimovic said.
We wanted to nish this strongly
for them.
Perhaps France can still do the
same, but the team has big problems
to solve in both defense and attack.
We were too average in too many
areas to hope to win this match,
Blanc said. The Swedish team
played with all their hearts, they
were better prepared than us. They
had a player in their ranks
(Ibrahimovic) who made the differ-
ence. If you analyze the game, we
were in trouble for most of it.
Were very disappointed with
how we played. The main thing is
that weve qualied.
England finished with seven
points, while France had four and
Ukraine and Sweden bowed out
with three each.
France looked lackluster through-
out much of the game and lacked
clinical nishing when it did threat-
en the Swedish goal.
Substitute Jeremy Menez had
Frances best chance to equalize
when he broke into the area in the
81st minute but his low shot was
stopped by goalkeeper Andreas
Isakssons leg. From the resulting
corner, Olivier Giroud headed just
wide.
Benzema was largely ineffective
again and remained scoreless at the
tournament. Ribery had Frances
best chance in the rst half when the
ball fell to him on the left edge of
the area but his shot was parried by
Isaksson.
Instead, it was Ibrahimovic who
stole the show with another spectac-
ular goal to add to his resume. The
tall AC Milan striker met Larssons
cross from the left and put himself
nearly sideways in the air before
striking the ball perfectly past
Lloris.
It was a perfect cross from Seb,
Ibrahimovic said. The whole team
played a fantastic game today.
Lloris then single-handedly kept
France in the game over the next
few minutes as Sweden kept press-
ing, making point-blank saves to
deny Christian Wilhelmsson and
Olof Mellberg.
Larsson nally added the second
by emphatically volleying a
rebound into an empty net, giving
the large contingent of Swedish fans
a reason to celebrate.
Its mixed emotions right now,
Sweden coach Erik Hamren said.
We should be happy with the victo-
ry and the performance. ... But at the
same time, theres a sense of sad-
ness in us all because we would
have wanted to stick around a bit
longer.
England 1, Ukraine 0
DONETSK, Ukraine Only one
goal counted, and it belonged to
Wayne Rooney.
The England striker returned from
a two-match suspension to head in
the lone goal Tuesday and give his
team a 1-0 win over Ukraine and a
spot in the European Championship
quarterfinals. The co-host
Ukrainians, however, will leave the
tournament knowing that things
could have been different.
Needing a win to advance, the
Ukrainians thought they had tied it
the 62nd minute when Marko
Devics deected shot appeared to
loop over the line before it was
hooked clear by England defender
John Terry. But the goal was not
awarded by the referee or his extra
assistant, who was half-standing on
the eld only a few meters from the
post.
The goal that wasnt given really
changed our plan because if it was
given, I think the whole game could
have looked another way, Ukraine
captain Andriy Shevchenko said
through an interpreter.

Coming off two-game suspension,Wayne Rooneys goal give England top spot inGroup E
But the Sox responded almost
immediately. Armando Fajardo
walked to lead off and he scored on
a double off the left-eld fence by
Marcus Pollard. John Coloma
scorched another double to right
eld that scored Pollard easily and
Coloma scored two batters later on
a sacrice y off the bat of Mike
Chavez.
I was a concerned, not worried,
Souza said after the rst inning.
Just because we havent played
since Thursday of last week. We
usually play a lot of games and you
dont have to practice because
youre going so much. But when I
saw the rst, I was like, Oh man,
weve had too much of a layoff. But
we bounced back.
It took the Sox four hitters into
the second inning to tie the game
and another two after that to take
their rst lead.
Trevor McNeil began the festivi-
ties with a double. Fajardo drew a
one-out walk and Pollard picked up
the RBI with a single to center for
the equalizing run. A Nick Manessis
hustle play forced an error at short
that plated Fajardo with the go-
ahead run and another boot by the
Braves defense plated Pollard.
From that point on, the Sox set-
tled down and began really distanc-
ing themselves from Hardtke.
We had some shoddy defense
early on, Souza said, and I really
believe our strengths are pitching
and hitting. Were going to make
some mistakes along the way. But
we handled it. We didnt let it both-
er us. Its good to see that.
San Mateo put up another
crooked number in the third, aided
by another Braves error. Fajardo
and Pollard picked up RBIs in that
frame.
Honestly, its been pretty easy
[ling out a lineup] because its
more so looking at the stats and bal-
ancing the at-bats because everyone
on the team can play. Everyone
gelled early, Souza said. They
understand what their role on the
team is. They understand that Im
going to get them what they were
told. The biggest challenge has been
keeping the playing time even.
Hardtke drew to within one run in
the fourth, only to see San Mateo
come right back in their half of the
inning and plate another three runs
fueled by another error and a pair
of walks. McNeil picked up an RBI
and Fajardo stayed hot, plating
another two with a pretty, two-out,
3-2 single to the opposite eld.
Murphy came in to relieve
Severson to begin the fth and the
right hander was perfect, striking
out three of the six batters he faced.
Murphy throws very hard,
Souza said. I think hes going to do
well at the next level because he
hasnt been pitching that long. We
started pitching him last year and
hes been very good for us. Were
just trying to get him as many
innings as possible right now.
San Mateo put the game to bed in
the sixth, sending nine batters to the
plate. They scored all ve of their
sixth-inning runs with two outs.
Pollard picked up another RBI,
Coloma walked with the bases
loaded, Manessis drew another error
to score a pair and Chavez ended the
game with an ineld single.

While Manessis goal of winning back-to-
back CCS title came to an end with a loss to
Bellarmine in the Central Coast Section Open
Division playoffs, Manessis reached his goals
of winning a PAL title going undefeated in
the process while earning all-league, rst-
team honors.
We were just a tight-knit team. Even after
the Bellarmine game, even though we got
killed (56-12), it felt good to play against one
of the top teams in the state, Manessis said.
Im denitely proud [of my football career].
I like proving people wrong.
The Tigers didnt lose to the Bells because
of Manessis. On the contrary, he had a
tremendous game against the eventual CCS
champs, nishing with seven catches for 123
yards and a score.
Because of his extended football season,
Manessis was late arriving to the basketball
court, but quickly made up for lost time. In 21
games, Manessis led the Tigers in scoring at
14.9 points per game. He was second on the
team in rebounds, averaging six a game while
playing every position on the court.
Basketball is the one (sport) that I love the
most, Manessis. This year, I was the No. 1
ball handler as I pretty much played every
position. Im a really good passer and really
good at making my teammates better.
More importantly, it was a tremendous
bounce-back season for Manessis and the
Tigers. When he was a junior, the Tigers did
not win a single PAL game and his individual
numbers were down across the board.
My junior year, I didnt get any (post-sea-
son) nominations. I was denitely disappoint-
ed with my play my junior year. I knew I had
the talent. I wanted to be dominant (this sea-
son).
Terra Nova basketball coach Kenny Milch
knew Manessis junior year was an aberration.
He also knew Manessis was a rare high school
athlete.
Nick was our best all-around player. He
just got better this year, Milch said. There
was no doubt what us coaches thought he was
going to do. We knew what we were getting
the whole package.
If Manessis was merely good on the foot-
ball eld and basketball court, he was spec-
tacular once he transitioned to the baseball
diamond. He set some pretty lofty goals for
himself in the spring and other than winning
the PAL Bay Division and CCS titles, he
accomplished what he set out to do.
I wanted to hit over .500, Manessis said.
How about .553? Manessis had 47 hits in 85
ofcial at-bats in 25 games this season, lead-
ing the team in RBIs with 19 and tying for the
team lead in doubles (5) and home runs (1),
striking out just four times all season.
He also excelled on the mound, posting a
2.08 ERA in 57 1/3 innings pitched.
As well as Manessis performed in the ath-
letic arena, he was an all-star in the classroom
as well. He had a 4.2 GPA for his high school
career and was named the 2012 class salutato-
rian.
He is the model student-athlete. Hes had
straight As since he entered high school. He
has numerous academic awards, Gray said.
[His parents] have stressed both academics
and athletics, both.
Gray said Manessis took on leadership roles
that extend far beyond athletics and one
would have to be intimate with the Terra Nova
community to know how far his reach goes.
Gray said Manessis has worked tutoring
younger athletes, especially in math and
English two subjects with which many
people struggle.
Manessis is attending University of San
Diego next year and has talked with the man-
ager about trying to walk on to the baseball
team. He doesnt know in what he will major,
but business, sociology and politics all pique
his interest.
I like debating, Manessis said.
There is one thing that cant be debated:
Manessis place in the history of Terra Nova
athletics. Gray puts Manessis in the top-5 all-
time athletes at the school.
Milch put it more succinctly: Hes one of
those rare kids who dont come around too
often.

never out of the game because of their sensa-
tional point guard. Kevin Durant had 28
points but James Harden threw in another
clunker, nishing with eight points on 2-of-10
shooting. Westbrook and Durant were the
only Thunder players to score in the last
16:46.
James stumbled to the court on a drive mid-
way through the fourth quarter, staying on the
offensive end of the oor as the Heat regained
possession on a blocked shot, and he made a
short jumper that made it 92-90. After
Westbrook missed a jumper, the Heat called
timeout as James gingerly went to the court.
Unable to walk off, he was carried to the side-
line by a pair of teammates.
He returned to a huge roar with a little over
4 minutes left and the Heat down two, and
after Chris Bosh tied it, James slowly walked
into a pull-up 3-point attempt perhaps
doing so knowing he couldnt drive by any-
one.
That made it 97-94, and when Wade fol-
lowed with a layup with 2:19 left, the Heat
nally enough room to withstand Westbrook,
who kept coming all night.
Whatever it takes. No excuses, said Wade,
who had to shake off his own aches and pains
after landing hard on his back in the rst half
following a spectacular block by Serge Ibaka.
You dont want to leave this arena saying you
missed opportunities.
Chalmers sure didnt. The player who was
struggling so badly that the Thunder put
Durant on him in hopes of avoiding further
foul trouble made 9 of 15 shots, scoring more
points than he had in the previous three
games.
Mario Chalmers is a winner, Wade added.
Hes due for a big game and he came through
for us.
The Heat couldnt have done it without
James, who refused to let any pain prevent
him from taking the biggest step of his career.
The Heat never got past their second nals
victory last year, with James struggles their
biggest problem as they lost the last three to
Dallas. But he was at his brilliant best in this
one, keeping up his scoring surge but also
willingly kicking it out to open teammates
whenever he was double-teamed.
He tried to play through the pain, but the
Heat had to call another timeout and remove
him for good shortly after his go-ahead bas-
ket. There was no immediate word on the
extent of his injury.
Bosh nished with 13 points and nine
rebounds for the Heat, who quickly climbed
out of the 17-point hole by scoring 16 straight
points, with Chalmers and backup Norris Cole
helping steady them until James and Wade got
going.
James and Durant sat alone on their bench-
es moments before the game, Durant staring
quietly toward the oor and James saying
something to pump himself up. Then they
went out to start, and this time Durant stayed
away from him.
In foul trouble the last two games, he began
the game covering Chalmers, an adjustment
that freed him from the burden of defending
James. It kept Durant safe from fouls but
the Thunder probably didnt count on the
scoring explosion from Chalmers after he had
totaled just ve over the previous two games.
NBA
Luck not worried about unsettled contract
INDIANAPOLIS Andrew Luck is
focused on his new job and will let others
contend with the business of football.
Two days after picking up his architectural
design degree from Stanford, the No. 1 over-
all draft pick returned to Indianapolis to work
on football and make his rst big steps into
the community at a Play 60 camp downtown.
The only impediment standing between
Luck and reporting to training camp is sign-
ing a contract. Hes not concerned about it.
To me, I worry about
getting better at football,
Luck said after the event.
My agent, Ill let him
take care of that.
Luck is scrambling to
catch up.
Hes trying to get famil-
iar with the city, get his
timing down with team-
mates and still cramming
to learn the full playbook, something he
admits is an ongoing process.
Hardly. Im trying every day, Luck said
when asked whether he knew the playbook
yet.
The Stanford graduate is hardly alone.
Indys top three draft picks Luck, sec-
ond-rounder Coby Fleener and third-rounder
Dwayne Allen are all unsigned. The Colts
other seven draft picks are under contract.
Team owner Jim Irsay did not expect the
negotiations to take this long, thanks in part
due to the new rookie wage scale which was
supposed to make it easier to complete deals.
Irsay told reporters in late April he expect-
ed negotiations to proceed quickly and that
Lucks deal would be almost identical to the
four-year, $22 million contract last years top
pick, Cam Newton, signed. Newton became
the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
A little more than two weeks ago, Irsay
also wrote on Twitter that the two sides were
getting closer to a contract. Just not there
yet.
Lucks agent, Will Wilson, has remained
relatively quiet about negotiations and told
The Associated Press in an e-mail Tuesday
he had nothing to add.

Admittedly, steamed sh doesnt exactly
scream mouthwatering. But what it lacks in
excitement it more than makes up for in health
cred.
Steaming generally involves no added fat
and is a great way of retaining all of the nutri-
ents in your food. Its also relatively speedy.
One of the best ways to steam sh is what
the French call en papillote (pronounced on
pap-ee-oat), or literally in parchment. In
this simple method, sh is wrapped in a pack-
et of parchment paper. As it cooks, the food
releases juices. Those avorful juices turn to
steam and are trapped in the packet, cooking
and avoring the food, while keeping it moist.
You also can add other ingredients to avor
and cook alongside the sh, such as herbs,
slices of lemon and vegetables. Because sh
cooks quickly, its a good idea to pick vegeta-
bles that are either thinly cut or tender; this
helps them cook at the same speed as the sh.
Try to avoid vegetables that give off too much
liquid, such as spinach.
Chicken thighs and lamb also can be
cooked in this manner, though they take
longer.
Dont have any parchment handy? Its
widely available alongside the plastic wrap at
the grocer and is excellent for lining baking
sheets when roasting foods or baking cookies
(its nonstick). But you also can use foil to
make the packets. Whatever you choose, be
sure not to wrap it too tightly.
For our dish, we went with hake, a rm
white sh. We arranged it over a bed of sea-
soned green beans and topped it with a simple
blend of fresh herbs and lemon. Other ideas
could be par-cooked, thinly sliced potatoes,
scallops and rosemary.
You also might julienne carrots, celery and
pea pods and top with raw shrimp seasoned
with garlic powder, cayenne and orange
slices. For an all-vegetable option, you could
do asparagus, sliced the long way, topped with
sliced shiitake mushrooms, apple slices and
chives.
Hake en papillote
Start to nish: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
1/2 pound small green beans, trimmed
Pinch smoked paprika
Salt and ground black pepper
Four 4-ounce hake llets
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 fresh mint leaves
4 small sprigs fresh marjoram
4 lemon slices
Heat the oven to 375 F.
Cut 4 large pieces parchment paper, about 12-
by-20-inches each. Fold each in half the short
way.
In a small bowl, toss the green beans with the
paprika. Season with salt and black pepper.
Open each sheet of parchment similar to a book.
Arrange a quarter of the beans on one half of
each sheet of parchment, placing them close to
the fold line. Top each pile with a hake llet.
Season again with salt and black pepper.
Top each llet with a sprig of thyme, a mint
leaf, a sprig of marjoram and a slice of lemon.
Fold the parchment packets closed like a book
again. Starting at one end of the fold, fold the
edges of the paper together every couple of inch-
es, creating a seam all the way around. Tuck the
last end under and place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes. To serve, place each
packet on a serving plate and tear open at the
center.

WESTVILLE, N.Y. Got milk? is get-
ting to be a difcult question when it comes to
organic.
Because even as more consumers are will-
ing to pay premium prices for organic milk,
supermarkets are having trouble keeping it on
the shelves as high feed and fuel prices have
left some organic dairy farmers unable to keep
up with demand.
The market has surged faster than supply,
said George Siemon, CEO of Wisconsin-
based Organic Valley, the nations largest
cooperative of organic farmers, and at the
same time we had high feed costs reduce sup-
ply, so we had a double hit here.
Organic milk shortages are nothing new. As
the milk which federal regulations require
be from cows fed organic feed and free from
production-boosting synthetic hormones
rose in popularity during the past decade,
there havent always been enough farmers to
meet demand (it can take three years to transi-
tion a conventional dairy farm to organic).
The shortages have been serious enough
that major chains like Hannaford
Supermarkets in the Northeast and Publix
Super Markets in the South recently posted
signs in the milk aisle advising shoppers of
reduced supply. Some relief is expected with
the seasonal spring boost in production. But
industry watchers say this shortage is more
worrisome because of the alarming jumps in
the price of organic corn and other feed cou-
pled with higher fuel costs.
Its kind of like a treadmill thing, said
Siobhan Grifn, an upstate New York organic
farmer whose cows chomp hay in a hilly pas-
ture. If you make less milk you make less
money, and then you cant afford to make
more milk.
After a recent dip during the recession,
sales of organic milk which can sell for
twice as much or more as conventional milk
are strong again. Sales for organic whole
milk were up 16 percent from January
through November of last year compared with
a year earlier, even as sales of conventional
milk declined, according to federal agricultur-
al statistics.
Molly Keveney, a spokeswoman for
Horizon Organic, the No. 1 selling organic
milk-brand, estimated a 7 percent growth in
organic milk demand in a time of at supply.
Some farmers have switched to less expen-
sive feed, but that reduced production. Grifn,
who runs Raindance Organic Farm 55 miles
west of Albany, is losing money as costs out-
run prices. She sold 15 cows in the fall so she
could afford to buy feed for her remaining
cows.
In Elko, Minn., Tim Zweber of Zweber
Farms said his family sold about 20 milking
cows since the fall because of the feed costs,
leaving them with about 100. Zweber who
like Grifn is a member of the Organic Valley
cooperative said the price his family
receives for its milk versus the high costs of
Organic milk low, demand up and farmers struggle
Steaming sh in parchment paper locks in all the avor, turning a boring technique into a
mouthwatering, healthy dish.

W
ho knew coconut milk could be so
confusing? It shouldnt be. At
heart, its a delicious liquid made
from coconuts (duh!) that can effortlessly add
an exotically creamy richness to so many
foods.
Except that grocers sell about half a dozen
different products that go by the same or very
similar names. And they arent interchange-
able.
So lets start with what coconut milk isnt.
Coconut water is a hip new drink that is
made from the liquid
inside coconuts. Drink
it, but dont cook with it.
Coconut milk bever-
age is a sweetened drink
made from coconut milk
and sugar. Its usually
sold in boxes alongside
soy milk.
Coconut cream is a
very thick, fatty liquid
made from steeping
shredded coconut in hot
water at a 4:1 ratio. It is
sold in cans, usually in the international aisle.
Sweetened cream of coconut is coconut cream
that has been (are you ready?) sweetened. Its
intended for cocktails. Pina colada anyone?
Coconut milk is the real deal and the one you
want for cooking. Coconut milk is made like
coconut cream, but with a 1:1 ratio of coconut to
water. The result is a thick, pourable product
sold in cans in the international aisle.
In Southeast Asia, Africa and even South
America, coconut milk is used in curries, soups
(like Thai chicken and coconut), sauces, even
sweets, such as rice puddings and some baked
goods. In the U.S., we see it most often in cur-
ries, cream pies and puddings.
While it isnt hard to make your own (sim-
mer shredded coconut in water, then drain),
lets face it, none of us is going to do that.
Canned coconut milk is widely available
and inexpensive. But you will need to stir or
shake it. The fatty cream will rise to the top
of the can over time, creating a dense layer
that needs to be mixed back into the watery
liquid below.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat,
combine the chicken, coconut milk, cumin,
lime zest and juice, and hot sauce. Simmer
until heated through and thick. Season the
chicken with salt and pepper, then remove

the mixture between the tortillas.
Top each serving with diced onion and avo-
cado. Serve immediately.

Burger King bets on
bacon sundae for summertime
NEW YORK Burger King wants to lure
customers this summer with a barbecue party
and a bacon sundae.
The worlds second biggest hamburger chain
on Thursday is launching several pork, beef and
chicken sandwiches as limited time offers. And
for a sweet ending, the company is also offering
a bacon sundae vanilla soft serve with fudge,
caramel, bacon crumbles and a piece of bacon
that started in Nashville, Tenn. earlier this
year.
The salty-sweet dessert clocks in at 510 calo-
ries, 18 grams of fat and 61 grams of sugar.
The limited-time items are Burger Kings lat-
est push to win back customers with a revived
menu and reverse sliding market share, an effort
that started soon after the company was taken
private by the private equity rm 3G Capital in
late 2010.
Earlier this year, Burger King launched its
biggest-ever menu expansion including fruit
smoothies, snack wraps and new salads. The
items were intended to go after a broader audi-
ence of moms and families, a shift from the
chains previous strategy of courting young men
with calorie bombs.
Core menu items, such as French fries and the
Whopper, have also been tweaked as part of the
companys efforts to improve food quality.
Burger King is trying to underscore its own
focus on ingredients with a new tag line, Taste
Is King, which replaces Have It Your Way. A
new ad has been celebrating summer barbecues
to highlight the chains emphasis on re-grilling
burgers.

producing it results in margins that are very tight.
If you cant make any money doing it, take the word sus-
tainable out of organic, Zweber said with a laugh.
In fact, some struggling farms are switching back to conven-
tional milk or leaving the dairy business entirely. Milk Thistle
Farm, a Hudson Valley farm that was a popular vendor at New
York City farmers markets, recently announced that it no
longer could afford to continue production.
Horizon and Organic Valley say they have more dairy farm-
ers making the transition to organic. But Ed Maltby of the
Northeast Organic Producers Alliance said not as many farm-
ers are making the switch because of the economics.
The farmers plight illuminates an unusual feature of the
U.S. dairy economy: Most farmers do not set their own milk
prices. Organic farmers typically enter into contracts with
processors. This provides stability compared with the month-
to-month pricing of conventional milk, but it has caused prob-
lems once food and fuel costs took off.
Both Organic Valley and Horizon Organic, owned by Dean
Foods Co., have raised the prices they pay to farmers to
account for higher production costs.
But many struggling farmers say they need more. The
Northeast Organic Producers Alliance, for instance, is petition-
ing for a 60 cent a gallon hike. The Western Organic Dairy
Producers Alliance recently sent a letter to processors seeking
an increase that would add 22 cents to a half gallon for con-
sumers
That might be a tough sell.
There are questions over just how much consumers even
those who will pay a premium to support sustainable family
farms will pay for a half gallon of milk. Western alliance
president Tony T. Azevedo said hed like to induce retailers to
kick more of their percentage back to the farmers, though he
acknowledges thats a pretty daunting task.
Some farm advocates say additional price pressure comes
from industrial-style organic farming operations with 1,000 or
more milking cows that are producing more milk for private
label store brands sold in supermarkets and box stores. The
large-scale operations, some with their own processing plants,
can produce the milk less expensively than traditional farms
and put pressure on all producers to keep prices low.
The growth of these industrial-style operations has angered
small-farm advocates who say they violate the spirit of organ-
ic, sustainably produced food.
Forget about the letter of the law for a second, these do not
comport with the values that the consumers think theyre sup-
porting when theyre buying organic milk, said Mark Kastel
of the Wisconsin-based farm-policy group The Cornucopia
Institute.
Though no one knows when supply will catch up with
demand, many expect it to at least ease in a couple of months
with the production boost that comes each spring when the
elds are in bloom and cows can graze. Hannaford is telling
customers to expect more consistent inventory levels in April.
Maltby is more pessimistic.
Perhaps when the cows go out to pasture in the spring, there
might be an increase in production, but we dont anticipate that
happening dramatically, Maltby said. Nothing will really
change until the price that the farmer gets paid starts to meet
their cost of production.
ORGANIC
CAIRO Egypts Hosni Mubarak was
being kept alive by life support after he was
rushed from prison to a military hospital in
a rapidly worsening condition, ofcials
said. The 84-year-old ousted leaders health
crisis added a new element of uncertainty
just as a potentially explosive ght opened
over who will succeed him.
The state news agency MENA said
Mubarak was clinically dead when he
arrived at the hospital and that doctors used
a debrillator on him several times. It ini-
tially said the efforts were not successful.
But the ofcial said Mubarak was put on
life support. He had no further details on
his condition. The ofcial spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because he was not
authorized to talk to the press.
The developments add further layers to
what is threatening to become a new chap-
ter of unrest and political power struggles
in Egypt, 16 months after Mubarak was
ousted by a popular uprising demanding
democracy. Egyptians were uncertain
about Mubaraks fate, about who will suc-
ceed him and about whether his successor
will have any power.
The campaign of
Mubaraks former
prime minister,
Ahmed Shaq, said
Tuesday he has won
Egypts presidential
election, countering
the Muslim
Brotherhoods claim
of victory for its can-
didate, Mohammed Morsi.
The election commission is to announce
the ofcial nal results on Thursday and no
matter who it names as victor, his rival is
likely to reject the result as a fraud. If
Shaq is declared winner in particular, it
could spark an explosive backlash from the
Brotherhood.
The Brotherhood, Egypts most powerful
political group, is already escalating its
challenge against the ruling military over
the generals move this week to give them-
selves overwhelming authority over the
next president. Some 50,000 protesters,
mostly Islamists, massed in Cairos Tahrir
Square on Tuesday evening chanting slo-
gans in support of Morsi and denouncing
the generals power grab.
The health crisis of Mubarak, who is
serving a life prison sentence, is yet one
more thing to stoke the heat.
Moving Mubarak out of prison is likely
to further infuriate many in the public.
Many Egyptians have been skeptical of
earlier reports that his health was worsen-
ing since he was put in prison on June 2,
believing the reports were just a pretext to
move him to another facility. There is a
widespread suspicion that security and mil-
itary ofcials sympathetic to their old boss
are giving him preferential treatment.
Details of the crisis were still sketchy.
Earlier the news agency and ofcials said
that while at the Torah Prison hospital he
suffered a fast deterioration of his health.
His heart stopped beating until he was
revived by debrillation, then he suffered a
stroke.
At that point, he was moved from the
prison hospital to Maadi military hospital
notably the same one where his prede-
cessor Anwar Sadat was declared dead
more than 30 years ago after being gunned
down by Islamic militants. That was when
MENA reported him clinically dead.

Greek coalition government
possible Wednesday
ATHENS, Greece A coalition gov-
ernment could be formed by mid-
Wednesday in Greece, the head of the
countrys socialist party said Tuesday,
easing the nation from political limbo as
it struggles to deal with a nancial crisis
that has affected Europes economy and
markets around the world.
Evangelos Venizelos, whose PASOK
party came third in Sundays elections,
said the socialists will support this gov-
ernment sincerely and will participate in
it in the most benecial way in order to
make it effective and credible.
At the core of any administration
would be Antonis Samaras conservative
New Democracy party, which came rst
in Sundays vote and won 129 of
Parliaments 300 seats short of the
151 needed to govern alone.

nished in second place, with 71 seats,

lumped together under specic headings
like collaborative community
included those that handle the countys
money like the assessor-county clerk-
recorder, controller and treasurer-tax
collector. Despite their differing needs,
common themes arose in each area
mainly, the use of technology to work
better and with fewer costs.
The Information Services Department
is facing its own structural decit and,
as part of a two-year elimination plan, is
recommending 12 positions be cut, said
Deputy County Manager Reyna
Farrales.
Taken with 20 positions already gone,
the department has seen a 20 percent
drop in its workforce from three years
ago.
Information Services handles every-
thing from lights to computer needs but
the number of projects overall are down
which has contributed to its decit. This
years budget, however, is up by $6 mil-
lion because of large-scale projects for
the San Mateo Medical Center like
implementing electronic records.
ISD is readying itself to support a
growing number of mobile devices used
by various departments in the eld, such
as planning and public works, and mov-
ing to cloud-based solutions.
Regardless of what device they get,
we need to be able to support it, she
said.
Similar to ISDs goal of using new
technologies to lower costs, Sandie
Arnott, the county treasurer-tax-collec-
tor, outlined her move toward electronic
billing and Controller Bob Adler said
his department is using automation tools
to nd anomalies in transactions. Adler,
who is proposing no reductions in serv-
ice next year, is focused on improving
internal controls, improving bill pro-
cessing at the San Mateo Medical
Center and teaming with smaller depart-
ments for accounting and audits.
But while the departments presented
yesterday offered glimpses at an
improving, if slow, recovery
increased property tax revenue of which
the county will receive about $10.1 mil-
lion, increased assessment roles and
higher assumed earnings on retirement,
for example there was also warnings
of challenges to come.
Mark Church, assessor-county clerk-
recorder, told the Board of Supervisors
he will be coming back in the future for
help to nd more data storage. He also
said 33 percent of his staff is eligible to
retire, which could prove a stafng chal-
lenge.
On Wednesday morning, the supervi-
sors will be hearing from the ofces of
the sheriff, district attorney, coroner and
probation. Closing remarks and
approval happens Thursday afternoon.
The Board of Supervisors meets 9
a.m. Wednesday, June 20 in Board
Chambers, 400 County Government
Center, Redwood City.

COUNTY
countys top scal ofcer and, according
to Supervisor Don Horsley, more an
administrative than policy-making posi-
tion.
If passed, the measure will add San
Mateo County to nine of 58 other coun-
ties with appointed controllers. Of
those, six have consolidated depart-
ments of nance including the con-
troller, treasurer and tax collector and
nearly all have switched fairly recently,
said County Counsel John Beiers.
Supervisor Dave Pine suggested look-
ing at a similar consolidation in the
future but kept most of his focus yester-
day on a proposed requirement that the
controller have a degree in accounting
or equivalent. Pine maintained a perfect-
ly acceptable applicant could have an
actual degree in something like engi-
neering but have developed solid nan-
cial skills as a CFO or similar job during
his or her career.
Supervisor Carole Groom, who sub-
mitted the charter change proposal
along with Horsley, said the idea is
opening the door to younger possibili-
ties with a combination of experience
and new ideas rather than somebody 30
years into their career.
Currently, the law holds that the con-
troller must meet at least one of several
criteria: be a certied public accountant;
hold a baccalaureate degree in account-
ing or its equivalent and not less than
three years experience within the last
ve years in a senior management posi-
tion in a public agency, private rm or
nonprot organization.
The proposed change to appointment
would exceed the minimum qualica-
tions by adding that being designated a
professional internal auditor and/or
experience as a county auditor would
not be sufcient. The committee also
recommends candidates have knowl-
edge of public administration principles
and practices, budgeting, scal adminis-
tration and effective personal adminis-
tration, employee relations and manage-
ment in a public setting.
Ultimately, Pine did not push the
degree issue and the board unanimously
directed Beiers to draw up the ordinance
as proposed by Horsley and Groom.
Namely, the charter change would allow
the county manager to select a candidate
for consideration with nal approval by
the Board of Supervisors. The controller
would be an at-will employee who can
be removed without cause or a public
hearing as long as it comes with a coun-
ty managers recommendation and a
four-fths vote of the board.
The Board of Supervisors began look-
ing at the possibility of changing the
ofce after naming assistant controller
Bob Adler to the vacant position left by
former controller Tom Huenings mid-
term resignation. In 2010, a 17-person
Charter Review Committee recom-
mended making both the controller and
treasurer-tax collector appointed jobs
but county supervisors unanimously
rejected the idea.
Beiers will bring the ordinance back
for a vote at the July 10 meeting.
Placing the measure on the ballot will
cost approximately $40,000.

facility, exercise facility and a cafe/break
room. Parking would be offered in a ve-
story parking structure and a podium-
level parking area below the four ofce
buildings and in smaller lots scattered
around the site.
Councilman Michael Brownrigg noted
that the development would call for a
denser oor area ratio than currently in
the regulations. He felt like it was a fair
tradeoff given the developers commit-
ment to improvements like upgrading
the streets and trails in the area.
Keighran agreed with his statement.
The project, for example, calls for
developers to contribute $1 million to
Burlingames $8 million share of
improving the Broadway overpass. In
addition, it will require a contribution be
made to the Poplar Avenue off ramp
once San Mateo chooses a solution.
Contributions by the companies who
move into the space will also allow an
increased number of shuttles from the
Millbrae BART Station.
Ground is expected to be broken in
early 2013.
In other business, the council
approved an ordinance to allow up to
three more restaurants in certain areas of
the Burlingame Avenue Commercial
District.
Noting a demand for restaurant space,
a property owner requested the
Burlingame City Council allow addition-
al food establishments in the 1400 block
of Burlingame Avenue, which was con-
sidered earlier this month. As written,
the ordinance will allow for three addi-
tional restaurants two on the 1400
block of Burlingame Avenue and one
within the Burlingame Avenue
Commercial District, according to a staff
report.
Brownrigg suggested the city study
getting rid of the limits on certain types
of restaurants altogether.

DRIVE-IN
NEW YORK Until I started watch-
ing videos on Samsungs new Galaxy S
III phone, I never thought of the
iPhones display as small.
The Galaxys screen measures 4.8
inches diagonally, compared with 3.5
inches for the iPhone. That translates to
a display area thats nearly twice the
size. Yet the Galaxy is thinner and
lighter.
Apart from that, the Galaxy shares the
iPhones curvy and shiny design, along
with a center button that wakes up the
device from power-saving mode or takes
you from whatever youre doing to a
home screen.
Unlike the iPhone, the Galaxy runs on
faster 4G cellular networks (AT&T mar-
kets its iPhones as 4G, but the network is
based on older technology). The Galaxy
also comes with a new wireless technol-
ogy called near-eld communications,
which can be used to share les and
make purchases.
Pictures taken with the Galaxy were
sharper and had better light balance than
those with the iPhone, based on a hand-
ful of test shots I took. The Galaxys tool
for measuring data usage for those of
us no longer on unlimited plans sur-
passes what comes with the iPhone.
All that makes the Galaxy a strong
contender to Apples popular device.
I understand the comparison isnt
entirely fair. The iPhone 4S is about
eight months old, and theres a new
model expected this fall. Last week,
Apple previewed changes to the phones
operating system, promising improve-
ments to its Siri virtual assistant, a map-
ping service with voice navigation and
more.
But the reality is the new Galaxy is
available this week not in September
or October.
All four national wireless companies
and regional carrier U.S. Cellular will
sell the Galaxy, which runs the latest
operating software from Google, a avor
of Android known as Ice Cream
Sandwich.
The Galaxy phones will be available
in white or blue. AT&T will also have a
red version this summer, but it wont
carry the 32 GB model.
