Health care delivery’s new frontier

Epocrates on cutting edge of new technologies
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Health care delivery is changing at a
fast pace and a local company is leading
a worldwide charge to bring new tech-
nologies into the hands of doctors to
procure better patient outcomes.
San Mateo-based Epocrates develops
mobile applications that link doctors
with a wealth of information in a virtual
instant, leading to a new frontier in
health care once deep in mounds of
paperwork.
So far, 45 percent of all practicing
physicians in the United States use
Epocrates apps and that number is
expected to grow as the company’s
recent initial public offering in February
raised nearly $86 million for the 13-
year-old company.
Epocrates is set to expand and hire
more employees in the coming year here
in San Mateo and at its two other offices
in North Carolina and New Jersey.
It rose to prominence without mar-
keting any of its products, said Rose
Crane, president and chief executive
officer at Epocrates.
“Physician referrals and word-of-
mouth grew the company. It went com-
pletely viral,” Crane said.
The company’s products are used on
mobile devices such as Blackberrys and
iPads and help doctors make mistake-
free prescription decisions and keep
patients safer right at the point of con-
tact.
“Doctors appreciate the accuracy of
our products. They trust it,” said Crane,
who worked in the pharmaceutical BILL SILVERFARB/DAILY JOURNAL

String ran the length of a

Carlmont High School science room
Friday morning.
Third graders, some of whom
stood on chairs, held each end of the
strings while preparing to race bal-
loons. Balloons, taped to a straw,
were placed on the string as part of
a race. How far would the balloon
go when the air was allowed to
escape?
the race went on. Smaller balloons,
for the most part, only made it half
way. Larger balloons went farther.
“Why did the larger balloons go
farther?” one of the Carlmont stu-
dent asked their 8- and 9-year-old
lab partners.
Taryn Schloss raised her hand.
“Because it has a lot more air,”
she said.

Ralston Middle School students took a
moment to recognize the cost of freedom
Friday morning by honoring alumnus Derek
T. Simonetta, a 21-year-old from Redwood
City who was killed while serving overseas
late last year.
Army Spc. Simonetta was among six sol-

Afghanistan Dec. 12, according to the
Department of Defense. Before enlisting, he
was a Ralston Middle School Ram. Friday, the
Belmont students learned about Simonetta’s
life while also taking a moment to recognize
the freedom they are afforded. Lastly, students
donated $250 to the Wounded Warrior Project
which helps injured soldiers get the medical
care they need.
“There are many things we take for grant-

take a moment of reflection.”

IRS paid $513M in undeserved homebuyer tax credits
By Stephen Ohlemaacher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue
Service has paid out more than a half-billion
dollars in homebuyer tax credits to people
who probably didn’t qualify, a government
investigator said Friday.
Most of the money — about $326 million
— went to more than 47,000 taxpayers who
didn’t qualify as first-time homebuyers
because there was evidence they had already
owned homes, said the report by J. Russell
George, the Treasury inspector general for tax
administration. Other credits went to prison
inmates, taxpayers who bought homes before

Authorities discovered
Berry had opened approx-
imately 20 accounts that
way to float checks from
one to another but the
exact loss total is not yet
known, according to the
District Attorney’s Office.
Frederick Berry “It’s not so much the
amount as it is the idea of
him invading somebody’s privacy and taking
their information,” said District Attorney
Steve Wagstaffe.
Berry allegedly used the former tenant’s
mail which was still being sent to the apart-
ment and a police search turned up documents
with the former tenant’s information.
Police also reported finding property
from other people whose vehicles had
the credit was enacted and people who did not
actually buy homes.
“The IRS has taken positive steps to
strengthen controls and help prevent the
issuance of inappropriate homebuyer credits,”
George said. “However, many of the actions
occurred after hundreds of thousands of
homebuyer credits had already been issued,
including fraudulent and erroneous credits
totaling millions of dollars.”
The popular credit provided up to $8,000 to
first-time homebuyers and up to $6,500 to
qualified current owners who bought another
home during parts of 2009 and 2010.
IRS spokeswoman Michelle Eldridge said
the agency worked hard to enforce a compli-

Berry pleaded not guilty to all charges at his
arraignment and did not waive his right to a
speedy trial. He returns to court April 25 for a
preliminary hearing and remains in custody in
lieu of $500,000 bail.
He is also awaiting a May 9 court appear-
ance on a misdemeanor count of possessing a
hypodermic needle filed in March.
Berry was convicted in 2007 of felony iden-
tity theft and possessing stolen property. He
was sent to prison for two years.
He also has prior convictions for felony
commercial burglary, credit card fraud, for-
gery and misdemeanor drug possession.

agency audited nearly 448,000 returns and
blocked or denied nearly 426,000 question-

In all, the agency’s enforcement efforts
saved more than $1.3 billion and identified
more than 200 criminal schemes, she said.
“The IRS made the credit available within
weeks of enactment, even allowing individu-
als to claim 2009 home purchases on their
2008 tax returns. Where there are question-

Eldridge said. “The IRS continues to audit
claims as warranted, and recapture credits that

Lawyers: Prop. 8 trial tapes
should be made public
SAN FRANCISCO — Lawyers for two
same-sex couples who sued to overturn
California’s gay marriage ban want a federal
appeals court to make videotapes of the
case’s lower court trial public.
The lawyers filed a motion Friday arguing
that the recordings should be treated like
other public records.
They’re asking the 9th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals to lift a seal that has been in place
since the 2009 trial.
The move comes in response to efforts by
the ban’s sponsors to persuade the 9th Circuit
to order the trial’s now-retired judge to return
his personal copy of the proceedings.

to 12 percent in state
By Adam Weintraub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California’s unemploy-
ment rate dipped slightly to 12 percent in
March, the lowest figure since September
2009, the state reported Friday.
The March figure marked the third straight
monthly decline for the state’s jobless rate and
came despite a drop of more than 11,000 non-
farm payroll jobs during the month.
Nearly 2.2 million Californians were unem-
ployed in March, down by 79,000 from the
same period a year ago, the Employment
Development Department said.
California has added 155,900 nonfarm pay-
roll jobs since September 2010, an average of
about 26,000 a month, department spokesman
Kevin Callori said.
In addition, the state has provided 14.5 per-
cent of the job gains in the U.S. over the past
year, although California has 11 percent of all
the jobs in the nation, he said.
The March jobless rate was down from
February’s revised figure of 12.1 percent.
However, observers cautioned that the
methodology used to calculate the number
changed over that period, so comparisons
were difficult.
The total number of payroll jobs in
California declined by 11,600 from February
to March, with only four of 11 industry sectors
adding jobs.
Nobel laureate William
Lipscomb dies at 91
BOSTON — William Nunn Lipscomb Jr.,
a Harvard University professor who won the
Nobel chemistry prize in 1976 for his
research on the structure of molecules and
on chemical bonding and mentored several
other future Nobel laureates, has died. He
was 91.
Lipscomb, himself a protigi of two-time
Nobel laureate Linus Pauling, died Thursday
night at Mt. Auburn Hospital in Cambridge,
Mass., of pneumonia and complications
from a fall, said his son, James Lipscomb.
“Some of the
unemployment rate decline
is likely from people dropping
out of the labor force,but much
is from people getting jobs.”
— Stephen Levy,chief economist
for the Palo Alto-based Center for
Continuing Study of the California Economy
Still, Stephen Levy, chief economist for the
Palo Alto-based Center for Continuing Study
of the California Economy, said nearly 91,000
jobs have been added during the past three
months.
“Some of the unemployment rate decline is
likely from people dropping out of the labor
force, but much is from people getting jobs,”
he said.
Analysts had expected strong job-growth
numbers in February would be revised down-
ward, but the gain held up, Levy said.
The March decline, he said, was likely “an
aberration in a very strong set of revisions and
a very strong three-month trend in job num-
bers.”
A separate federal survey of households
estimated that 15.9 million Californians held
jobs in March, down 61,000 from a year earli-
er. That survey includes self-employed work-
ers and does not count people who are out of
the labor force and not seeking work.
Around the nation
Two of William Lipscomb’s graduate stu-
dents and a third who spent time at his lab
went on to win Nobels. Yale University pro-
fessor Thomas Steitz, who shared the 2009
chemistry prize, recalled Lipscomb as an
inspiring teacher who encouraged creative
thinking.
Said Lipscomb’s first graduate student at
Harvard, Roald Hoffman, who was awarded
the chemistry prize in 1981: “He was a great
mentor, letting us work freely, yet continual-
ly putting before us puzzles to be explained.”

Powerful spring storms kill nine in Arkansas, Oklahoma
By Sarah Eddington
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CRYSTAL SPRINGS, Ark. — Powerful
spring storms roared through parts of the
South on Friday, toppling trees, smashing
buildings and killing at least nine people,
including two sets of parents and children
who were huddled together as the winds
raged outside their homes.
It was the deadliest storm of the season so
far. Several tornados accompanied the

onslaught, but much of the damage was
attributed to straight-line winds — sudden,

force in the middle of the night.
As the storm howled through Crystal

Tough decisions
By Linda Koelling
D
uring the course of the last
several budget sessions, the
Foster City Council has been
struggling with the task of formulating
a long-range financial plan for our city.
The process necessary to cure the struc-
tural deficit in balance with keeping
services at the level that our community
has come to enjoy and participate in is
not easy. Many programs and city serv-
ices are on the chopping block. There
are differences in opinion on some of
the potential reductions or eliminations
in the budget, however, we all agree on
one thing: We need to keep this city
financially strong with a balanced
budget.
We recognize that any rebound in the
economy will be slow. Therefore, we
are looking for a variety of ways to
attack the deficit. Expenditure reduc-
tions as well as reviewing salaries and
pensions are areas being considered
when compiling the long-range budget
plans. We are examining the city
departments’ spending habits that drive
up costs, but I believe we need to dial
in on more revenue-generating opportu-
nities as well. Recently, the council
voted to put a transient occupancy tax
increase on the November ballot. If
passed by the voters, this will bring in
about $300,000 additional dollars to the
city. This tax that affects travelers to
our city is currently the lowest on the

Any fair and unbiased reading of

Peninsula. Over the
years, we have been
considerate of our
hotel business own-

particular tax at a
lower level. It has
been 8 percent for
the longest time and
we will ask the vot-
ers to raise it to 10 percent. This will
put us in line with many other cities,
but it is still lower than others.
Partnerships and sponsorships are
additional ways of securing funding for
those activities, events and services that
create a sense of community. I am
grateful toward the Lion’s Club for
stepping up to help us keep the Fourth
of July fireworks. While it is a costly
day, it is an annual family tradition to
which we all look forward. We’ve had
residents help in cleaning up the day
after as well. These are just a couple of
ways that residents work together on
behalf of their community.
No one wants to see any of the serv-
ices or activities the residents have
enjoyed disappear or be put on hold for
an indefinite period of time. Something
needs to change. We live in a time of
uncertainty that is forcing local officials
to find a new direction to be able to bal-
ance budgets and keep services intact.
Several shared service models for our
cities are being experimented with and
implemented to offset the high cost of
these services. These models must be

Now, read the statements from the
other “candidates” (Holober, Papan,
Pine, Nagel) which are all devoid of
any specifics. This is because each of
these other candidates is beholden to
unions, labor councils and
teachers/fire/police associations (check
their campaign donation war chests), so
they are intentionally non-specific and
say a lot of “blah, blah, blah” when
pressed for specifics. For once, let’s try
a non-traditional candidate, a voice of
fresh air and a person who actually
states specifics on what he believes,
and will do, once elected.

Our city has a lot to offer with many
quality-of-life amenities that make it a
desirable city in which to live, work
and recreate. The wonderful reputation
of the city is fostered by its consistent
policies and responsible fiscal manage-
ment. We are in a position to act
thoughtfully and carefully without the
need for draconian cuts. I am not
inclined to just cut the budget as much
as I would like to find creative ways to
coordinate opportunities for long term
revenue through partnerships.
I call upon residents to be part of the
process and think of new ideas and
offer suggestions to help the council in
rendering final decisions on services
currently considered for elimination.
It’s time to think outside of the box and
we don’t have much time to discuss
some of those items considered for
elimination. We are not like the state

ing 200 million gallons of oil in the
Gulf of Mexico. And what has
Congress done to help with restoration?
Nothing. It’s time to get serious about
restoring the Gulf. BP and the others
will pay fines under the Clean Water
Act for each barrel of oil spilled. These
fines will reach into the billions of dol-
lars — as they should. Right now, how-
ever, the money from these fines will
simply be deposited into the federal
treasury and will not be used to restore
the Gulf — at least not until Congress
steps up.
Oil is still oozing in the marshes,
washing up on beaches and covering
sections of the Gulf floor. The full
impacts of the disaster will be felt for
years, even decades, to come. There is
much we can do to make the Gulf of
Mexico a cleaner and healthier place
for people and wildlife, but we need to
get started as soon as possible.
Congress needs to stop sitting on its
hands and dedicate the Clean Water Act
penalties to Gulf restoration.

What it’s all about
W
ith all of the breast-beating, arguing, political
lying, massive political agenda fundings and
social and political hate filling our newspapers,
blogospheres and conservative and liberal talk shows, we
need to pull back and remember it is not what they say but
ask, at the core, what is it
really about?
The only way to understand
this very critical and potential-
ly pivotal time in American
political and economic history
is to look at it, globally, from
the inception of our republic to
today.
I believe no rational observer
would deny the economic sys-
tem that has developed in our
nation has been central to our
amazing growth and power
and, at its roots, does not need
to be changed.
However, as in almost every
human endeavor, there is a downside and, in this, it is the
inevitable “bust” following every “boom” we have ever had
since our Revolutionary War.
The economy, at that period in our Constitution, was over-
whelmingly agricultural. But as it had become more mercan-
tile, industrialized and financially based, the booms and busts
have become more extreme swings and began to really hurt the
lower economic classes most. But with the help of savings, the
innocent survived.
Eventually, however, as vast personal and business fortunes
were created and the banking system grew accordingly, by the
late 19th century, the middle class and poor really were hurting
during busts because there was no social safety for them to
cushion their economic fall.
The first critical juncture came when President Theodore
Roosevelt recognizing the elite in that “Gilded Age” were com-
ing to believe they were at least equal to, or even superior to,
the “government of the people and for the people,” initiated
government monitoring, agencies and regulations to put brakes
on these budding plutocrats nicknamed “the economic royal-
ists.”
In that growing financial economy, the busts and their dura-
tion were becoming deeper and longer, until by the 1920s,
“flappers, booze and Wall Street boom,” the bust tuned into the
horrific “Great Depression,” deeper and longer than ever. The
massive loss of jobs led to exhausted savings and those family
and friends who formerly could help, were busted too.
With the homelessness and starvation, what was the national
government to do? Stand by, as in the past, leaving the private
economy to lead and fuel the nation? Or, was the “government
of the people” morally responsible to become the protector,
feeder of the hungry and the employer of last resort for its peo-
ple? The answer under President Franklin Roosevelt was it
must. It is difficult for people born later to understand the
depth of that crisis.
That was the turning point in our economic system. Citizens
no longer wanted to be victims of the economic busts, so they
enthusiastically supported Franklin Roosevelt for three more
terms. They wanted some financial security and medical cover-
age for elders no matter how many times the economy tanked.
They wanted some sort of income while it tanked and they lost
their jobs. And Franklin Roosevelt was one of the first presi-
dents to attempt to guarantee health coverage for all regardless
of economic status.
This led to what conservatives call “the welfare state” and
the economic consequence is it needs ongoing revenue to sup-
port it. And that is clearly taxation money. And as conserva-
tives, rightly, point out, this inevitably leaves less of the nation-
al gross income for private investments.
So what to do? Continually have high taxation or cut down
our social safety net programs? That is what is fueling the cur-
rent bitter conflict in Congress and the country.
What we have is a balance scale with a few in number with
vast wealth, some middle class supporters and the majority on
the Supreme Court on one side and a vastly greater number of
those with little wealth but with the power of a greater number
of votes on the other.
It’s not a matter of right or wrong as to who will prevail, but
how willing to fight and the power each will be able to muster
that will dictate the outcome.
Underlying this crisis is human nature. Conservatives and
their followers mostly look to the right and see the business
world and the wealthy only and rarely look over their shoul-
ders to see the problems, needs and yearnings of lower eco-
nomic classes. On the other hand, there are those who look
only to the left and very rarely look over their shoulders for the
needs of the right and the business world to continue fueling
the economy.
Statesmanship and patriotism would be standing in the cen-
ter and looking both ways and seeing and dealing with the
needs of both to keep building a growing America. But I don’t
see much of that around these days.

Stocks make modest gains

NEW YORK — Stocks made modest
gains Friday as encouraging signs on
the economy overshadowed disap-
pointing earnings from Google and
Bank of America.
Stock indexes closed lower for the
week. The Dow Jones industrial aver-
age dropped 117 points Tuesday when
Japan raised the severity of its nuclear
crisis and Alcoa Inc. reported disap-
pointing sales.
The Federal Reserve reported that
U.S. factories increased production for
the ninth straight month. Separately,
the Labor Department said consumer
prices rose just 0.1 percent last month
excluding food and gas prices. That’s
lower than the 0.2 percent increase
economists were expecting.
Consumers’ confidence in the econo-
my is also growing more than analysts
predicted, according to a survey by
Thomas Reuters and the University of
Michigan.

Consumers feel the pinch of higher prices
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Americans are
paying more for food and gas, a trend
that threatens to slow the economy at a
crucial time.
So far, the spike in such necessities
hasn’t stopped businesses from stepping
up hiring or slowed factory production,
which rose in March for the ninth
straight month. Still, higher gas prices
have led some economists to lower their
forecasts for growth for the January-
March quarter.
Consumer prices rose 0.5 percent last
month, the Labor Department said
Friday. Nearly all of the gains came from
pricier gas and food.
When taking out those two volatile cat-
egories, core inflation was relatively flat.
But at the same time, employees are only
seeing small, if any, pay increases.
Business taxes done? You may still have work to do
By Joyce M. Rosenberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Small business own-
ers across the country are getting back to
focusing on their companies now that
they’ve filed their income tax returns.
But many of those owners may still have
some tax work to do.
Those who had to rush to compile
their returns should find ways to avoid
the last-minute angst next year. That’s
especially important for owners who run
into the same situation year after year.
Some owners may find that sending in
their return doesn’t mean they’re done
BofA finds it hard to
shake off mortgage troubles
NEW YORK — Bank of America
Corp. is still trying to shake off troubles
arising from mortgages written during the
housing bubble.
Higher fees from battling lawsuits and
costs related to its mortgage business led
to a 39 percent decline in BofA’s first-
quarter earnings, the bank announced
Friday. It wasn’t what investors wanted to
hear, since just three months ago the bank
announced several big charges and settle-
ments that seemed to resolve many of its
mortgage problems.

The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 56.68 points, or 0.5 percent, to
12,341.83. The Standard & Poor’s 500
index rose 5.16 points, or 0.4 percent,
to 1,319.68.
The Nasdaq composite gained 4.43,
or 0.2 percent, to 2,764.65.
“With the data that we saw this
morning, there are a lot of reasons to
be cautiously optimistic that we’ll see
a strengthening economy for a while
and a steady lift in the (stock market),”
said Doug Godine, a managing direc-
tor at Signal Hill, an investment bank.
Google Inc. weighed on technology
stocks after the company said it missed
earnings estimates, due in part to a hir-
ing spree that will last throughout the
year. The company fell 8.3 percent.
Bank of America Corp. also missed
analyst estimates. The country’s
largest bank fell 2.4 percent as prob-
lems in the bank’s mortgage business
continued to weigh on its results.
Broker Charles Schwab Corp.
gained 2 percent after the company
said its first quarter earnings beat ana-
lyst expectations.
“People have less money to spend on
goods other than food and energy and
that is going to cause the expansion to
slow,” said economist Joel Naroff of
Naroff Economic Advisors.
The spike in prices is hitting most
Americans just as the economy is gaining
momentum. Businesses added more than
200,000 jobs in March and February, the
best two-month hiring stretch in four
years. And the unemployment rate has
fallen to a two-year low of 8.8 percent.
Consumers also have a little more
money to spend this year, thanks to a
one-year cut in Social Security taxes.
But most of the extra $1,000 to $2,000
per person is filling the gas tank. The
national average for a gallon was $3.82
on Friday — nearly $1 more than a year
ago. In five states, the average price is
exceeding $4 a gallon.
How big the economic impact will be
is the critical question. Many analysts
with the IRS this year. The government
may have questions about the return. Or
owners may discover they made a mis-
take and need to amend the return.
If you had to sweat to get your return
completed, then you need to think about
how to get next year’s return done with a
minimum of stress.
Some owners struggle because they
try to do it all themselves. Others have
books that are chaotic -- if they even
exist at all. Then there are the procrasti-
nators, who just don’t get around to
starting on their returns until the dead-
line is painfully close.
In many cases, the solution is to get
some help. Hiring someone, even a part-

Early eruption enough
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
According to manager Lenny Souza, the
Aragon baseball team is hurting; suffering
from a baseball “cancer” of sorts.
“Every game we’ll pick one facet of the
game,” Souza said. “Whether it’s base run-
ning, whether it’s playing catch, whether it’s
taking care of ground balls, swinging at bad
pitching, and we just absolutely do terrible
with it.”
Yes, of the many things that can ail a base-
ball team during a season the worse might be
a case of “erroritis,” which leads to a terminal
case of “longit inningis.” Combined the two
equals lots of losses.
Friday afternoon was no exception for the
Dons as they fell to the Menlo-Atherton Bears
8-5.
“We made mistakes and we all get down on
the mistakes and they spread like cancer
throughout the entire team,” Souza said. “I
mean, we’re a 1-5 club who won frosh/soph
titles the last two years and we just have this
bad aura around our team right now. And until
we stop making mistakes and getting a little
Is Barcelona best ever?
By John Leicester
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — With eight trophies in the last three
seasons, a 29-game Spanish league unbeaten
streak heading into this weekend and the world’s
greatest player in Lionel Messi, it’s no stretch to
argue that Barcelona is the best soccer team in the
world right now.
Once you’ve watched them play for a while,
another thought is hard to escape: Is this the best
soccer team — ever?
Associated Press reporters brought the
Barcelona question to some of the biggest names
and brightest brains in soccer: managers like Alex
Ferguson of Manchester United,Arsenal’s Arsene
Wenger and 1986 World Cup winner Carlos
Bilardo; players both past and present, including
greats like Tostao of Brazil, Germany’s Franz
Beckenbauer and Real Madrid’s Jose Santamaria,
who played for some of the game’s most memo-
rable teams.
Unsurprisingly, there is no consensus.
Unlike with sprinters or skyscrapers, where
identifying the fastest or tallest is easy, there is no
agreed standard benchmark for determining the
confidence, this is how it’s going to continue
to go.”
The score isn’t indicative of innings one
through six in which the Bears kept the
Aragon bats quiet. In fact, where it not for M-
A taking the foot off the throttle a bit, the out-
come might have been more lopsided.
At the end of two innings, the Bears actual-
ly held a 7-1 lead.
They struck for two in the first inning on a
two-run double off the bat of Sam
Falkenhagen deep to the left-center field gap.
The Dons were able to get one back in their
half of the first when Tyler Outzen got a dou-
ble of his own.
But the “cancer” that Souza spoke of reared
its ugly head in the second inning; it’s essen-
tially then that the Dons lost the game.
M-A’s Chace Warren led the inning off with
a walk. The following hitter, Dylan Cook, hit
a hard ground ball to short that should have
been two outs. But the ball was booted and
both runners were safe. After a failed sacrifice
bunt, the Bears were the beneficiaries of
another error at short by the Dons and the fol-
lowing M-A hitter, Casey Eason, made
Aragon pay by lacing a base hit up the middle
greatest soccer team. But it’s
fun to argue about.
“They come very close,”
Beckenbauer told the AP. “In
this generation, Barcelona is
the best team, (but it’s) diffi-
cult to compare with former
great teams like AC Milan at
the end of the ’80s.
“In the ’60s and ’70s, you
Lionel Messi
had (Brazilian club) Santos
with Pele and Carlos Alberto. Different times, dif-
ferent styles of play. If you ask me what was the
best national team ever, I would say Brazil, 1970.”
For former France and AC Milan defender
Marcel Desailly, “Johan Cruyff’s Barcelona team
was a great one, with Romario, (Hristo)
Stoichkov, (Ronald) Koeman. The speed of their
game was not like it is now but it had other qual-
ities. The AC Milan team of that period, when I
was playing for them and a little bit earlier, is
another.”

France in 1998, takes a long view.

that scored a pair.
The Dons looked like they might get out of
jam when Aldo Severson struck out the next
hitter, but with two outs he loaded the bases
with a walk, setting the table for Myles
Brewer, who makes his living by driving in
runs for the Bears.
He did just that, launching a deep fly ball to
deep right field that was five feet away from a
grand slam. Menlo Atherton would have to
settle for a bases-clearing double. When the
madness had settled, the Bears were up 7-1.
“The bats came alive today,” said M-A man-
ager Mike Amoroso. “We got a lot of clutch
hits today. And that’s something we’ve been
lacking since the beginning of league. It’s nice
to finally get those clutch, two-out hits.
Overall, I’m proud of them. That’s the key,
stringing those hits together.”
On the mound, Menlo Atherton starter Nick
Lange was nails after the bottom of the first.
In innings two through five, Lange was almost
perfect, walking only a single Aragon hitter
for the rest of his outing.
“Nick is, an absolute soldier on the mound,”

Kings’Stoll suspended

SAN JOSE — The Los Angeles Kings know
they will be without forward Jarret Stoll for one
game for his blindside hit that knocked San Jose
defender Ian White out of Game 1 of their first-
round series.
The Sharks don’t know yet how long they will

he tries to recover from a head injury and is

The NHL suspended Stoll for Game 2 on

want to miss any games, whether it’s the regular

appointed with the decision, but I respect it.”

Warriors
plan for
the future
By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — New Golden State Warriors
co-owner Joe Lacob knows how he wants his
management and basketball operations staff
structured for the future, and he has moved
swiftly this offseason to put them in place.
His coach is another matter.
Lacob said Friday that his plan is to have
new assistant general manager Bob Myers
succeed GM Larry Riley in the next few sea-
sons. Myers, a longtime NBA agent, was hired
a day earlier.
All three will meet with
coach Keith Smart in the
next “eight or nine days.”
A final decision on his
future is still likely a few
weeks away, and none of
them have given Smart a
vote of confidence yet.
“We’re going to sit
Joe Lacob down together, all of us in
basketball operations and
myself, and we’re going to analytically evalu-
ate the season along multiple dimensions,”
Lacob said in a phone call with beat reporters
from New York, where he was attending the
NBA’s Board of Governors meeting. “We’re
going to talk with Keith, and we’re going to
figure out whether he’s the right guy going
forward.
“Certainly, he’s done a good job in many
respects, and I think it’s really a question of
whether what we see is the vision going for-
ward, if he’s the right guy. And, frankly, right
now, we don’t have an answer for that.”
Lacob and fellow owner Peter Guber have
vowed to restore the franchise to past glory
with bold moves.
They already have shown they aren’t afraid
to make big changes, beginning when they
ousted coach Don Nelson — and his NBA-
best 1,335 victories in 31 seasons — just
before the start of training camp, hastily
replacing him with Smart even before they
officially bought the team for a record $450
million from longtime owner Chris Cohan.
Lacob has wanted to put his own stamp on
the basketball operations staff, and adding

For Stanford’s Appel,record can be deceiving
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
STANFORD — The only show in
town over this weekend, outside of
Oakland’s three-game series with the
Tigers, is at Stanford.
But boy, it is a good one, as the No.
17-ranked Cardinal host 2006 and
2007 National Champion Oregon
State, ranked No. 9 in the nation.
Stanford dropped Friday night’s
series opener 1-0. (Both the Saturday
and Sunday games are slated for 1
p.m. starts at Sunken Diamond.) And
with Cardinal starter Mark Appel’s
record dropping to 2-4, it begs the
question: How is it Appel hasn’t flat
out dominated this season?
Appel had scouts raving after his
dominant summer season with the
Newport Gulls of the New England
Collegiate Baseball League. He fin-
ished his first summer campaign with
a 7-1 record, while earning a start in
the NECBL All-Star Game, and
being named the league’s 2010 Top
Pro Prospect.

PHOENIX — Matt Cain had his
third strong outing in three appear-
ances this season and Pablo Sandoval
hit a three-run homer to lift the San
Francisco Giants to their third straight
victory, 5-2 over the Arizona
Diamondbacks on Friday night.
Cain (2-0) allowed one run on four
hits in six innings — plus two batters.
The right-hander, coming off a superb
postseason, threw six scoreless
innings, then gave up a popup double
down the right field line to Stephen
Drew and hit Melvin Mora to end his
night in the seventh. Drew later
scored, just the third run charged to
Cain in 19-plus innings this season.
Sandoval’s third homer of the year,
off Daniel Hudson in the first inning,
provided all the offense the Giants
needed. Sandoval also walked and
scored on the first of Miguel Tejada’s
two doubles.
Hudson (0-3) matched his career
best with 10 strikeouts but allowed
season hasn’t been nearly as success-
ful. While Appel has been good, he
hasn’t been the dominant force he
was in 2010 wood-bat play. While
NCAA guidelines have, in essence,
reinvented the collegiate game this
season with safer composite bats, the
old transition-back-to-aluminum rea-
soning doesn’t hold nearly as much
water.
“He’s performed well,” Cardinal
manager Mark Marquess said. “He’s
earned a spot from fall workouts, and
… when the season started he did a
great job. We figured he was going to
be one of the three starters, and he’s
ended up being the Friday night
starter, and he’s really done a good
job for us.”
By the numbers
In surrendering just one earned run
over 6 2/3 innings last night, Appel’s
ERA dipped below the 3.00 mark for
the first time this season. And he
flashed fairly dominant stuff, with a
fastball that touched 95 mph, off-
speed stuff that ranged as low as 82

came on with
runners at first
and second and
Pablo Sandoval two outs in the
ninth. He gave up
an RBI single to Willie Bloomquist
before getting slumping Kelly
Johnson to pop out for his third save
in four tries.
With one out in the first, Freddy
Sanchez singled off the glove of third
baseman Melvin Mora, then Buster
Posey singled up the middle to bring
up Sandoval. With two outs, on a 1-0
pitch, the still big — but not as big as
before after an offseason conditioning
program — hit a towering shot over
the swimming pool in right field to
put the Giants up 3-0.
San Francisco added one in the

mph, and a breaking ball that was
occasionally dazzling. Ultimately, it
was one mistake pitch that cost him
— an 0-2 hanger with two runners on
that got whacked into center field by
Beavers designated hitter Kevin
Keyes in the first inning.
“I wanted to bury that one in the
dirt, and I just left it up,” Appel said.
“It’s funny … in three games —
Texas, Vanderbilt, and now Oregon
State — we’ve lost by one run, and
the game-winning RBI came on a 0-
2 slider that I left up. I’m definitely
learning my lesson, and just trying to
get better each time out.”
Funnier yet is that the better the
lineup Appel has faced, the better he
has performed. His two roughest out-
ings of the year came in losing
efforts, giving up six runs over 6 2/3
innings against Long Beach State
(current team batting average .261)
and surrendering four runs over 7 1/3
innings against Texas (currently bat-
ting .265 as a team). Friday night he
held an Oregon State team that
entered play batting .279 to just one
run, and his first loss of the season
fourth when Sandoval drew a leadoff
walk, Brandon Belt singled and
Tejada doubled down the left field
line. Cain followed with a low liner to
right fielder Justin Upton, who made
the catch and threw home as Belt was
held at third. Upton had two singles
off Cain.
The Giants scored an unearned run
in the fifth. After Aubrey Huff walked
and Posey singled, San Francisco
went with a double-steal. Catcher
Miguel Montero threw wild to third
allowing a runner to score and make it
5-0.
After Cain departed in the seventh,
left-hander Jeremy Affeldt fanned
Montero but walked pinch-hitter
Xavier Nagy to load the bases.

In laymen’s terms, the kid’s a com-
petitor. While Appel said he tries to
think of every situation on the mound
as a one-run game, he admitted the
actual one-run games are more fun.
“It definitely makes it a lot more
fun,” Appel said. “Just going out
there and knowing that the game is
on the line and the ball is in your
hand, it’s a lot of fun.”
Acclimating to life as a starter is
still a work in progress for Appel,
though, who had never been a regu-
lar starting pitcher before joining the
Gulls last summer. At Monte Vista
High School-Danville, he was almost
exclusively a closer. As a freshman
last year, 21 of his 24 appearances
were in relief.
Now the sophomore right-hander
is shouldering the ace’s role of the
Stanford starting rotation, especially
since high-profile junior southpaw
Brett Mooneyham went down earlier
this year with a season-ending injury.
Mitchell Report evidence
By Jesse J. Holland
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The law firm
that investigated drugs in baseball
said Friday that former All-Star
pitcher Roger Clemens shouldn’t be
allowed to see notes or evidence
used to produce a report that
accused him of using steroids and
human growth hormone.
Clemens is trying to get U.S.
District Judge Reggie Walton to
force the law firm DLA Piper to turn
over its notes and research for his
use at trial on charges he lied about
being a user. Former Sen. George
Mitchell and the DLA Piper law
firm where he worked produced a
report for major league baseball in
December 2007 that accused the
Clemens and other players of using
drugs.
DLA Piper said while the

Spurs in familiar spot — top seed in West
By Paul J. Weber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN ANTONIO — Chris Bosh was never
signing with San Antonio. At least, that’s what
everyone figured.
“At one time we had certainly considered
going after Bosh,” Spurs owner Peter Holt
recently recalled. “We didn’t spent a lot of time
on that. We didn’t feel like we could compete.”
At the time, who didn’t think that about the
Spurs?
Yet one year after San Antonio appeared to
be fading NBA royalty — barely making the
playoffs, constant injuries to an aging core, a
roster overhaul that never worked out — the
Spurs open the playoffs back atop the Western
Conference.

Riley’s eventual successor — is the biggest

Lacob said he expects Riley, 66, to retire in a
few years. Riley confirmed those plans.
Warriors director of player personnel Travis
Schlenk and director of basketball operations
Kirk Lacob, the owner’s son, also have been
retained. Those four, along with the owners,
will be involved in all basketball decisions.
“It is definitely intended that these four
guys will be with us for the foreseeable
future,” Lacob said. “They all bring some-
thing very special, I believe, to the table.

Sunday as the No. 1 seed for the fifth time in
the Tim Duncan era. It’s a 14-year span that
includes four championships and the highest
winning percentage in the NBA (.700), but the
team appeared on the downside last spring
after the worst season yet.
Six months later, Tony Parker arrived at
training camp predicting this would be the last
shot for the Spurs. It was a now-or-never dec-
laration that sounded almost brutally honest at
the time.
Now it looks like the Spurs could have more
chances ahead of them.
“Every game, every playoff is special right
now. I understand that,” Duncan said Friday.
“This is the end of my career, the last couple of
years. I’m not taking anything for granted.
Every year we’re given our last chance (to win
a title). We’ll take this as it is.
They’re going to work very well together, and
it’s a team approach. I think we cover all the
bases with them.
“Bob would be expected to ascend to the
general manager role,” he added. “There are
no guarantees. He and I have had very frank
discussions. He’s going to see how he likes it,
we’re going to see how we like him and we’ll
take it from there.”
The Warriors still have a long way to go to
become winners.
They have made the postseason just once
since 1994, and yet fans in the basketball-
crazy Bay Area still pack Oracle Arena,
remaining some of the most loyal and vocal in
a market saturated with sports teams. The
Warriors finished 36-46 this season, a 10-
game improvement from a year ago but still
missing Lacob’s goal of making the playoffs.
“Maybe we’ll get another one. Maybe we
won’t.”
The Spurs may start the playoffs without
Manu Ginobili, who sprained his right elbow
in Wednesday’s regular season finale at
Phoenix. The All-Star is listed as doubtful for
Game 1 but tweeted Thursday that the pain
was already almost gone.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said Friday
that Ginobili will play during the Grizzlies
series. It’s one of only a few bumps San
Antonio (61-21) has faced while carrying the
NBA’s best record until the final week and
posting the third-best regular season in fran-
chise history.
“I don’t think there’s anybody in or out of
the league that thought this team would be the
first seed in the West,” Popovich said. “I think
that’s a fact. They’ve done a great job. We’ll

Riley told Smart to feel free to travel with
family for a week or more if he wanted. Riley
even said he was planning to play golf this
weekend.
“I’m going to decompress myself,” he said.
Riley and Myers spoke with writers for
more than an hour inside the players’ lounge
at the team’s headquarters Friday about what
needs to be done to improve the roster. Among
the other notable items:
• Both expressed confidence in the Monta
Ellis-Stephen Curry starting guard combo.

going to be,” Holt said. “We really are going to
try to do something that, in the history of the
NBA, is very difficult when you lose a Hall of
Famer like Tim Duncan to not fall off the map
and go through the rebuild process.”
According to Holt, that conversation ended
something like this: Let’s stick with who we
have.
Holt said he met with Popovich and general
manager R.C. Buford to talk out the different
scenarios. They were in no position to get a big
name but already had two on their roster:
Ginobili, who would sign a three-year exten-
sion last April, and Parker, who came into this

worst team in points allowed this season.
Riley added it would take a “spectacular” deal

• Both Riley and Myers would prefer to

n’t rule out a return to center, where he played
for the New York Knicks.
• The plan is to play promising young big

Street League Skateboarding
raises purse to $1.6 million
There’s big money seemingly everywhere in
pro skateboarding these days.
Street League Skateboarding, the idea of
pro skater and MTV star Rob Dyrdek, is
increasing its purse to $1.6 million for its sec-
ond season and adding a $200,000 winner-
take-all championship in Newark, N.J., Aug.
28.
The first three contests will pay $150,000 to
the winner. They are May 7-8 in Seattle, June
11-12 in Kansas City and July 16-17 in
Glendale, Ariz. The opener will be live on
ESPN and the following three contests will be
live on ESPN2. Last year’s three contests were
shown on tape-delay.
Street League features 24 of the world’s top
skateboarders. Nyjah Huston, 16, won the
overall points title last year as well as one of
the three contests, earning more than
$250,000.
Dyrdek said Friday that Street League will
provide the first true skateboarding champi-
onships. Only the top 10 Street League pros
will qualify to compete for the $200,000, the
biggest payday in skateboarding.

ensuing faceoff. “I don’t see how you could watch
the replay and see it and not see it as a dirty hit. He
had his back to him the whole time. Hopefully
Whitey is all right.”
White crumpled and looked groggy as he was
helped off the ice with a cut on his face. He was
examined by team doctors and has a head injury,
coach Todd McLellan said.
McLellan would not say if White received a
concussion, but said he will not play until doctors
clear him.
“I hope he’s OK,” Stoll said. “You never want to
see a guy get knocked out or have a concussion or
miss any time. I missed a lot of time with a con-
cussion years back and I know what it feels like. I
definitely don’t want to put anyone in that situa-
tion. He’s a good player.”
The suspension angered Kings management,
with assistant general manager Ron Hextall say-
ing hockey is a physical game and sometimes
injuries happen and coach Terry Murray upset that
Sharks defenseman Jason Demers wasn’t pun-
ished at all for a hit later in the game on Ryan

Eason.
With Lange sitting for the Bears, Amoroso
brought in right-hander Kyle Zirbes, who
pitched an uneventful sixth inning. But the
Dons made it interesting in the seventh.
Zirbes walked the leadoff hitter and awarded
another free pass after getting a popup. With
two runners on, Nolan Freitag singled to keep
the rally alive and the next hitter, Greg Lyons,
bounced one through the infield to plate runs
two and three for the Dons.
Trevor McNeil follows that with a double that
intentional, traveling distance, launching yourself
two to three feet off the ice and a blow to the
head,” he said. “That is a major longtime suspen-
sion.”
The league did not see it that way and now the
Kings must try to even up the series after a 3-2
overtime loss in Game 1 without their second-line
center, who also plays important roles on the
power play and penalty kill. Los Angeles is
already without its top center, Anze Kopitar, who
is sidelined by an ankle injury.
Now they must find a way to replace Stoll, who
was their best faceoff man in Game 1 and teamed
with Smyth and Justin Williams on Los Angeles’
most productive line in the opener.
Stoll was one of six 20-goal scorers for the
Kings this season, posting 20 goals and 23 assists.
The Kings, who scored the fewest goals of any
playoff team in the regular season, are now miss-
ing two of their top offensive threats.
“He’s going to be missed,” Murray said.
“You’re not going to replace that right-handed
shot, right-handed faceoff guy. Other guys will
have to try to be better and dig in and try to get the
job done. There’s no one we have who can step in
and replace everything that Jarret Stoll brings to
our game.”
Trevor Lewis will move up to center that line
with John Zeiler being called up from the minors
to take a spot as fourth-line center.
plated two more. Things were getting dicey for
the Bears, but Amoroso stuck with Zirbes.
“We have all the trust in the world in our
pitchers,” Amoroso said. “We got a great pitch-
ing staff. It was getting a little worrisome, but I
had 100 percent trust in Zerbes.”
The Dons weren’t done. C.J. Sandino singled
home another run to make things 8-5 with only
one out. Zirbes rewarded his coach’s faith, how-
ever, striking out two of the next three Aragon
hitters to nail down the win for the Bears.
“We got lucky,” Amoroso said, “Aragon
gave us a fight, they’re always fighters.

McLellan has not decided whether rookie Justin
Braun or veteran Kent Huskins will go in place of
White on Saturday for Game 2. Huskins, who
won the Stanley Cup in Anaheim in 2007, missed
the final 22 games of the season with an upper-
body injury and has just recently returned to prac-
tice.
Braun, a 24-year-old rookie, played 28 games
this season with the Sharks, posting two goals and
nine assists. He has a big shot from the point and
got time on the power play.
“You don’t want to see a guy go down, but you
always have to be ready and be focused,” he said.
“I paid attention to the game last night as much as
I could. I tried to take it all in.”
White played 401 regular season games before
finally making it to the postseason for the first time
and got a point on his first shift. White started the
game with Niclas Wallin and helped set up Dany
Heatley’s rebound goal just 28 seconds into the
contest — the fastest playoff goal in Sharks histo-
ry.
“He’s been so pumped to play in the playoffs,”
Wallin said. “Three games before the end of the
season the guy is jumping around and so pumped
up. He’s a competitive guy. He’s going to come
back.”
White played eight more shifts in the first peri-
od and got involved on the offensive end before
his injury in the final minute of the first period.
They never give up.”
“It’s frustrating,” Souza said of his team’s
sixth league loss. “But they’re going to have to
work through it or else it’s just going to be a
long year. And I don’t think any of us are pre-
pared to accept that. So, we’re just going to have
to keep working hard and plugging away. It’s
kind of new to all of us here, we’ve kind of had
a lot of success these last couple of years, so
we’re all learning how to deal with this. We’re
just going to keep pushing on. That’s the new
thing about baseball: there’s always the next

BARCA
Continued from page 11
“Each generation has always had a fantastic
team, every decade has always produced a few
teams that easily stood out,” he said. Barcelona
“are among the best teams soccer has ever seen,
but I would never have the pretension of saying
whether they are the best or not.”
Even if you don’t want to pick out one team,
certain minimum requirements have to be ful-
filled for a side to figure into a conversation about
the best of the best — including a cabinet filled
with trophies.
That disqualifies Arsenal’s “Invincibles” of
2004, who were unbeaten in league play but actu-
ally failed to win the FA Cup that season (the
Gunners have never won a Champions League
title).
But Barcelona could pass the trophy test. It has
accumulated eight since manager Pep Guardiola
took over in June 2008, including a unique
Spanish treble of Champions League, Spanish
League and Copa del Rey in his first season.
“Teams that win are always the best. More than
just playing beautifully you have to win, and
Barcelona does that,” Argentine coach Bilardo
said. “I don’t think Barcelona has reached its best.
It always can get better.”
Yet flair is important, too.
So France’s team that won the 1998 World Cup
and 2000 European Championships wouldn’t
rate. Nor would Inter Milan’s squad that won the
treble of Italian championship-Italian Cup-
Champions League last season with coach Jose
Mourinho’s style-squashing defensive tactics.

U.S. group signs deal to buy Roma
BOSTON — A group of American investors
led by Boston executive Thomas DiBenedetto
announced Friday they have signed a deal to buy
three-time Italian champion Roma.

“Every period had its own great team.Each one reached a certain
level in terms of vision,how they operated and their ambition within
the time period it corresponded with.Barcelona has had two great
seasons of lovely football — and is having a third now.”
But Barcelona, like the Ajax “Dream Team” of
the 1970s, ticks the “style” box with its flowing
and intricate passing game.
“Barcelona is that type of team that when it
plays, you don’t want to miss it. It’s almost like a
passion,” said Socrates, the former captain of
Brazil.
Wenger said that he rates Barcelona among the
top three teams in history because of its skill at
keeping the ball. Beckenbauer singled out
Barcelona’s 5-0 rout of Real Madrid last Nov. 29,
when it ran rings around its rival with speedy one-
touch passing, as “one game I will never forget ...
One of the best games I ever saw.” Real Madrid
will have its chances to change Barcelona’s repu-
tation. Starting with a league match Saturday, the
rivals will meet four times in just 18 days, includ-
ing twice in the Champions League semifinals.
Tostao, a 1970 World Cup winner with Brazil
said: “Barcelona has a unique style that can’t be
mistaken in today’s soccer. It’s a mix between the
style of the great teams of the past, like Pele’s
Santos — which exchanged many passes and
rarely lost possession — with a modern style
which focuses on putting pressure on the other
team while on defense, not allowing the opponent
to play.”
“I don’t know which team was the best ever, but
Barcelona is among the best,” Tostao said. “From
the ones I’ve watched the most, Pele’s Santos was
Under the terms of the deal, DiBenedetto’s
group will pay around $100 million for a 60 per-
cent share of a new company that would own
roughly two-thirds of the Serie A club.

regulators, would make the four-man American
group the first foreign majority owners of a Serie

based on watching highlights and on what people
used to say — the Real Madrid team that had
(Alfredo) Di Stefano and (Ferenc) Puskas. These
are the three great teams of the past which I can
recall.”
Some have no reservations. For them,
Barcelona is already the best ever. Period.
Former Netherlands star Marco van Basten has
said other teams seem bland after watching
Barcelona.
Three-time African Footballer of the Year
Abedi Pele gives Barcelona his vote, “not just
because of the titles it has won in the past two
years, but the quality of the play and the potential
they have.”
Said Luis Suarez, the 1960 Golden Ball win-
ner: “They are achieving extraordinary things.
They are winning so many titles and are playing
so well — I do believe we can consider them the
best team of all-time.”
Some who stop short of calling Barcelona the
best still single out the exceptional quality of its
players, especially Messi, Xavi and Andres
Iniesta.
“A fantastic team at the moment,” said
Ferguson of Man United. “That’s the message
they give out to all of football. If you look at the
diminutive size of Xavi and Iniesta, they have

to tackle. The courage always to take the ball. And
then there’s the magician up front, Messi, always
wonderful to watch.”
But others say Barcelona still has things to
prove.
“To say that they are the best of all time is an
exaggeration,” said Jeno Buzanszky, one of the
last survivors of Hungary’s “Magical Magyars”
who won Olympic gold in 1952 and are perhaps
best known for being the first foreign team to
defeat England at Wembley.
Said Tostao: “What’s missing for Barcelona is
better bench players. And in the attack, Pedro
(Rodriguez) and (David) Villa are excellent play-
ers, especially Villa, but they are not among the
best players in the world today.”
Another critic is former Madrid star Santamaria
— no surprise there. He said Barcelona “are hav-
ing a great season but you can never compare
them to a team like Real Madrid that won five
straight European Cups. They’re still quite a ways
from matching them.”
“Every period had its own great team. Each one
reached a certain level in terms of vision, how
they operated and their ambition within the time
period it corresponded with,” Santamaria said.
“Barcelona has had two great seasons of lovely
football — and is having a third now.”
Maybe fans would be best advised to just sit
back and enjoy the Barcelona show for what it is.
That’s what David Beckham recommends.
“Anyone that loves the game, loves to see it
played in the way that Barcelona play it,”
Beckham said. “Without a doubt, they’ll go down
as one of the best teams ever.”

Richard D’Amore.
DiBenedetto vowed to put together a compet-
itive team and recruit players in the Rome area.
Roma has had a tumultuous season, with
Vincenzo Montella replacing Claudio Ranieri as
coach in February. The team is sixth in Serie A,
15 points behind leader AC Milan.

Obama: Congress must —
and will — raise debt limit
By Ben Feller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — President Barack Obama
confidently predicted Friday that a divided
Congress would raise the nation’s borrowing
limit to cover the staggering federal debt
rather than risk triggering a worldwide reces-
sion, but he conceded for the first time he
would have to offer more spending cuts to
Republicans to get a deal.
Pushed to the brink, Obama said, the two
parties would find “a smart compromise.”
In an interview with the Associated Press,
Obama also took pains to promote his long-
term plan to cuts trillions of dollars from fed-
eral deficits as a fairer, more compassionate
alternative to a Republican plan that surged to

down — Obama signed the bill finalizing that

— the rejuvenated president answered ques-
tions in his hometown following an evening of
fundraising for his re-election bid and a rare
night in his own bed.
On America’s wars, he said that a significant
number of troops would begin coming home
from Afghanistan in July despite expectations
that the withdrawal could be modest. He said
the U.S. would not expand its military role to
end a bloody stalemate in Libya but insisted
that Moammar Gadhafi would, in time, be
forced from power.
While the House approved the multitrillion-
dollar deficit-cuts measure, it was Obama’s
comments on the debt limit — an issue the
White House has labored to keep separate
from yearly red ink totals — that altered the
debate of the day.

budget cuts,opposing Obama

By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — In a prelude to a sum-
mer showdown with President Barack Obama,
Republicans controlling the House pushed to
passage on Friday a bold but politically dan-
gerous budget blueprint to slash social safety
net programs like food stamps and Medicaid
and fundamentally restructure Medicare health
care for the elderly.
The nonbinding plan lays out a fiscal vision
cutting $6.2 trillion from yearly federal deficits
over the coming decade and calls for trans-
forming Medicare from a program in which
the government directly pays medical bills into
a voucher-like system that subsidizes purchas-
es of private insurance plans
The GOP budget passed 235-193 with every
Democrat voting “no.” Obama said in an
Associated Press interview that it would “make
Medicare into a voucher program. That’s
something that we strongly object to.”
The vote sets up the Republicans’ next round
of confrontation with Obama and Democrats
over must-pass legislation to allow the govern-
ment to borrow more money to finance its
operations and obligations to holders of U.S.
bonds. For the first time, Obama acknowl-
edged that raising the debt limit is “not going
to happen without some spending cuts” insist-
ed upon by Republicans and some Democrats.
The vote came on the same day Obama
signed a hard-fought six-month spending bill
that averted a government shutdown while cut-
ting $38 billion from the government. Struck
last week, the compromise was the first
between the White House and the emboldened
Republican majority in the House.
Under the House Republican plan approved
Friday, deficits requiring the federal govern-
ment to borrow more than 40 cents for every
dollar it spends would be cut by the end of the
decade to 8 cents of borrowing for every dollar
spent.
“If the president won’t lead, we will,”
Boehner said as he closed debate. “No more
kicking the can down the road, no more
whistling past the graveyard. Now is the time
to address the serious challenges that face the
American people and we will.”
Obama saw the situation differently. In the
AP interview, he said the Republicans’ “pes-
simistic vision ... says that America can no
longer do some of the big things that made us
great, that made us the envy of the world.”
The plan by Budget Committee Chairman
Paul Ryan, R-Wis., exposes Republicans to
political risk. Its Medicare proposal would give
people presently 54 or younger health insur-
ance subsidies that would steadily lose value
over time — even as current beneficiaries and
people 55 and older would stay in the current
system.

Legacy of eye
opening films
By Jeremy Venook
L
ast Saturday, the film world lost an
iconic artist in the passing of director
Sidney Lumet. His filmography
includes many movies now rightfully hailed
as classics, and, though I have not watched
enough of his work to name him as a favorite
director, I can say without a doubt that he
created two of my favorite
movies of all time,
“Network “and “12 Angry
Men.”
“Network,” a movie I
first saw in a cinema and
society class last year, is
an almost alarmingly pre-
scient satire about a
broadcaster turned into a
sensation as a media mad prophet. In it,
Howard Beale, an aging and soon-to-be
forcefully retired news anchor, undergoes a
major meltdown in the studio, culminating in
his command to his viewers to shout out their
windows his now-famous cry: “I’m as mad
as hell, and I’m not going to take it any-
more!” Soon, Beale has his own show in
which he offers his hysterical observations
nightly, punctuated by fainting spells and
wild studio applause.
Along with some brilliant acting — five
actors received Oscar nominations, and the
film was the last to win three acting Academy
Awards in one year — what immediately
struck me about the film was the eerily pre-
dictive nature of the story. Just a few quick
fixes, and the film could easily be about
today’s television news networks rather than
those of 1974: Update the cameras and set-
tings and add some cursory mentions of the
Internet — perhaps Beale’s followers re-
tweet rather than repeat his iconic pro-
nouncement — and it fits right into the mod-
ern world. The idea of a raving reporter
releasing nightly rants has become downright
commonplace; just throw in a chalkboard and
a pair of glasses and Beale is nearly indistin-
guishable from Glenn Beck. And with cringe-
inducing shows like “Jersey Shore” and
“Bridalplasty” eating up the ratings and get-
ting more absurd by the year, a major subplot
about a reality television show starring a
home-grown terrorist organization doesn’t
seem too far-fetched.
The other of Lumet’s films I rank among
my favorites, “12 Angry Men,” describes a
far more uplifiting premise. Considered
among the greatest legal dramas of all time,
the film captures the deliberations of a 1950s
jury as one member attempts to convince the
rest that the young defendant in a murder
trial may be innocent.
Where “Network” explores the deepest
shades of moral gray area — it’s hard to find
a completely sympathetic character in the
entire story — “12 Angry Men” deals with

Same formula,but it works
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ghostface’s 11-year
layoff hasn’t made the
“Scream” franchise feel
any fresher. But with a
decent beginning, a
mushy midsection and a
killer ending, the latest
installment at least does-
n’t feel any staler.
“Scream 4” is pretty
much the same-old
thing, which the film-
makers hope will seem
new again given how
long the horror-comedy
series has been festering
in its temporary grave.
Honestly, it’s not an
unwelcome thing to watch
the return of Neve
Campbell as the slasher
victim who wouldn’t die,
Courtney Cox as the tabloid
hack in bloodlust for a story
and David Arquette as the
bumbling Barney Fife of fright-
flick cops.
Director Wes Craven has added
an attractive young harvest of
fresh meat on the victim and psy-
cho front, led by Emma Roberts,
Hayden Panettiere and Rory
Culkin, along with amusing
cameos from Anna Paquin,
Kristen Bell and others.
“Scream 4” opens with the fran-
chise’s usual prologue, this one
modestly clever, heavier on laughs
than suspense.

Sheen toasts deceased
man’s ashes onstage
TORONTO — Following his streak of
bizarre antics, Charlie Sheen closed his first
Canadian tour stop by
toasting the ashes of an
audience member’s dead
husband. After an hour of
frenetic conversation
between Sheen and come-
dian Russell Peters during
the actor’s “My Violent
Torpedo of Truth” show,
Sheen called out to the
audience for a woman Charlie Sheen
whose husband had died
two years ago to come onstage. Sheen said he
read about her in a newspaper article.
The otherwise raucous audience in
Toronto’s Massey Hall fell silent as Wendy
Newman took to the stage, clad all in black
and carrying a vessel. Newman told the show-
goers that her husband died of a heart attack
and the only way she got through her difficult
period was by watching DVDs of Sheen’s for-
mer sitcom “Two and A Half Men.”
When she learned the celebrity was coming
to her home city, she snapped up tickets. She
then posted a message on Sheen’s Facebook
page asking if she could bring her husband’s
ashes to the show and have Sheen raise a glass
in honor of her husband of 19 years.

Five best Sidney Lumet movies

By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Sidney Lumet was
known as a director who crafted smart, solid
films, full of substantive topics and strong
performances. They weren’t showy or preten-
tious: Lumet was a storyteller, plain and sim-
ple. And his output was prodigious.
His death last week of lymphoma at age 86
truly marked the end of an era — a phrase that
tends to get overused, but in this case, it’s
sadly apt. It’s hard to pick just five of his best
films, but we humbly gave it a try:
“Fail-Safe” (1964):
Featuring Henry Fonda as the even-tem-
pered U.S. president trying to avoid nuclear
annihilation, this drama also landed at the top
of our list of films with the best movie presi-
dents earlier this year. Lumet depicts a world
on the brink of disaster in stripped-down fash-
ion and with the immediacy of a stage pro-
duction — which makes this frightening sce-
nario even more powerful.
The excellent supporting
cast includes Walter
Matthau and a young
Larry Hagman.
“12 Angry Men”
(1957):
Sidney Lumet Lumet’s first feature is a
marvel of efficiency and
precision. Like “Fail-Safe,” it stars Fonda and
offers the up-close-and-personal, almost
claustrophobic feeling of watching a riveting
play. With the action mostly taking place
inside a deliberation room where jurors argue
over whether the defendant is guilty of mur-
der, “12 Angry Men” is all about the dialogue,
all about the performances. But it allows plen-
ty of room for the viewer to ruminate about
the human capacity for compromise and for-
giveness. Besides Fonda, the starry cast fea-
tures Martin Balsam, Jack Warden and Jack
Klugman.
“Network” (1976):
Lumet keeps popping up on these Five
Most lists. His satire about the softening of
TV news is one of the best films ever made
about television. Thirty-five years later, it still
remains startlingly relevant; Paddy
Chayefsky’s Oscar-winning screenplay about
a newsman who snaps, live on-air, explores
the same kind of questionable fame that per-
vades today’s celebrity culture. And
“Network” is just darkly funny as hell, with
tremendous work from Faye Dunaway,
William Holden and especially Peter Finch,
who won a posthumous Academy Award for
best supporting actor and provided us with
one of the most famous lines in film history.
“Dog Day Afternoon” (1975):
This was the second time Al Pacino teamed
up with Lumet — 1973’s “Serpico” was their
first film together — and both resulted in
some of the finest work Pacino has done. He’s
charismatic and unpredictable as a bank rob-
ber with some complicated motivations, and
“Dog Day Afternoon” is equally tense and
funny — and, like “Network,” it astutely
examines the desire for fame. In introducing
Lumet at the 2005 Academy Awards, where
the director was honored for lifetime achieve-
ment, Pacino said: “If you prayed to inhabit a
character, Sidney was the priest who listened
to your prayers, helped make them come
true.”
“The Verdict” (1982):
Lumet earned the last of his five Academy
Award nominations for directing this drama
about a lawyer who hopes to turn his career
around by going to trial on a medical mal-
practice case instead of settling. Working
from an adapted script by David Mamet,
Lumet turns a story of redemption into a
thriller. And he draws from Paul Newman an
Oscar-nominated performance that capitalizes
not on the late star’s gorgeous looks or easy
charm but on his ability to convey a recogniz-
able sense of flawed humanity.

LUMET
Continued from page 18
the capacity for human empathy and one
man’s quest to bring out the most forgiving
and rational spirits in his compatriots. Once
again, the acting is superb — a placid Henry
Fonda is superbly persuasive in his argu-
ments for a “not guilty” verdict, while a
seething Lee J. Cobb leads 10 other magnifi-
cent actors in a charge to declare the boy
guilty — but what truly captured my atten-
tion was the movie’s timelessness and depth
of character.
Trapped in a nearly claustrophobic jury
room, a set which bears no timestamp to dis-
tinguish 1954 from the present day, each of
the 12 unnamed jurors is a unique and sym-
pathetic person, and the worst any of them is
at the beginning is incorrect, guided by a rea-
sonable moral compass and a convincing
prosecutor to the wrong verdict. I found
myself rooting for Fonda to prove the others
wrong not for the vicarious thrill of his tri-
umph but in hopes that each and every man
would ultimately overcome his prejudices
and prove himself capable of properly carry-
ing out the burden of justice placed in his
hands.
In both films, what struck me most was
Lumet’s touch with his characters. Witness a
breathless Faye Dunaway deliver her idea for
“The Howard Beale Show” to executives in
“Network” and recognize immediately her
borderline perverse lust for high ratings;
watch as, at the beginning of “12 Angry
Men,” a single extended shot that pans slow-
ly around the jury room establishes a back-
ground and an understanding for each of the
unnamed jurors as their motivations come
into focus and the process of creating a
dozen detailed and interconnected portraits
of mankind begins.
A mere plot description does not do these
movies justice; they are both truly captivat-
ing and, more importantly, thought-provok-
ing decades after their first releases. I hope
this column pays proper tribute to the fantas-
tic work of Sidney Lumet — and motivates
those of you who have not seen these films to
take them in this weekend.

SCREAM
Continued from page 18
Culkin. Mary McDonnell also appears fleet-
ingly as Sidney’s aunt; the movie progresses
in such patched-together fashion that much of
her role may have been sliced out.
With a screenplay by original “Scream”
writer Kevin Williamson, the movie is an
over-long, sometimes plodding collision of
characters, any of which could turn out a killer
or victim in the arbitrary world of the fran-
chise.
This time, the crisscross of blind clues and
red herrings almost makes it feel as if Craven
left the unmasking of Ghostface for the last
day of filming then simply handed a knife to
someone with the instruction to start stabbing.
What comes after that unveiling is great fun,
a really clever twist on the clichis of slasher-
movie violence.
The movie drags in many spots before that
climax. Craven often seems to be finger-paint-
ing with the entrails of the first three movies,
slopping random blood, gore and gags on the
walls to see what sticks.
“Scream 4” slathers on winking, self-refer-
ential banter about the conventions of the
franchise, along with horror flicks and sequels
in general.
resulting when people ponder their place in
the hierarchy of horror-genre characters and
how that affects their odds of survival.
And again, the movie saves some of the best
for last: Campbell’s parting quip to her latest
tormentor is an absolute scream.
“Scream 4,” a Dimension Films release, is
rated R for strong bloody violence, language
and some teen drinking. Running time: 111
minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
People travel for all kinds of reasons. No mat-
ter why you are getting up and going, be it for
business or pleasure, you want to do what you
can to stay well, both on your journey and after
you return home. The Mills-Peninsula Travel
Medicine Program can help you prepare for a
safe, healthy trip or long term overseas stay with
specific, up-to-the-minute information about
any destination in the world. Clinic personnel
can review your itinerary, give vaccines appro-
priate to each destination, and provide a record
of completion. The Travel Clinic is fully certi-
fied to provide required vaccinations for destina-
tions throughout the world and is even an official
yellow fever vaccination center. Children’s trav-
el vaccinations are also available.
Travel Clinic administrator Jean Borella, RN,
said, “Vaccines for travel are given based on the
destination, time of year, and type of travel. For
instance, a person traveling to India on a tour and
staying at nice hotels would receive vaccines dif-
ferent from one who is backpacking and staying
in hostels. All travelers should be up to date on
basic vaccines such as diphtheria/tetanus/pertus-
sis, influenza and measles/mumps/rubella. The
professional preparing the traveler for his/her
destination will review the patient’s health histo-
ry and administer vaccines according to specific
guidelines set by the CDC, World Health
Organization, and other health institutions.
Visiting a travel clinic can ensure a person
remains healthy for their trip.”
Each traveler receives current health informa-
tion about his or her destination, including food,
water and insect precautions and is given pre-
scriptions for malaria and intestinal infection.
The Travel Clinic also provides post-travel serv-
ices, including completion of series vaccine,
exposure counseling and consultation and refer-
ral to primary care and infectious disease spe-
cialists. Cruise ship passengers might also bene-
fit from a consultation with the clinic. Borella
WEEKEND JOURNAL THE DAILY JOURNAL
notes, “Some people going on cruises think they
do not need vaccines because they are not stay-
ing on land. We in the travel medicine area know
that they should have the same vaccines as those
going to the same countries but not on a cruise.”
The Mills Peninsula Travel Medicine
Program is located at the Mills Health Center,
Room 5137, 100 S. San Mateo Drive in San
Mateo. The clinic is open Monday through
Friday and one Saturday per month on a rotating
schedule. For more information call 696-4116 or

Epocrates in 2008.
The apps also save time, creating new effi-
ciencies in the industry, Crane said.
More than 300,000 doctors in the United
States and more than 1 million other health-
care professionals use the company’s prod-
ucts.
Last month, it launched a new product
called Mobile Sample Closet for pharmaceu-
tical companies to offer doctors custom drug
samples, patient starter kits and educational
materials.
The company has developed more than 65
new apps and offers some, including a
mobile drug reference, for free.
In San Mateo, the company occupies two
floors at Park Place near Hillsdale Boulevard
and Highway 101 with a team of engineers
working on the second floor developing the
newest mobile tools for doctors and health
care professionals.
With new drugs being introduced all the
time to battle a number of ailments, the
mobile apps give doctors up-to-the-minute
information on how the drugs interact with
other drugs, what the doses should be and

said Reif is taking steps to correct any
“irregularities” if they exist and that the
insurance companies will receive restitution
if necessary.
“No one needs to cry for the insurance
companies. This is not a matter of stealing
from little old retired couples even though
the state says they were defrauded of mil-
lions of dollars by my client,” Smith said.
Between 2004 and 2009, Reif purchased
workers compensation insurance through
Redwood Fire & Casualty Insurance
Company and the State Compensation
Insurance Fund for her business, Genesis
Building Services.
In 2008, the insurance company said it
received conflicting data from Genesis staff
about the number of employees and began
suspecting it was under-reporting its payroll
by approximately $544,440. Further investi-
gation by the California Department of
Insurance placed the under-reported amount
at $10,657,776.69 which resulted in Reif
avoiding paying $2,957,089.20 in insurance
premiums.
The CDI claims Reif misrepresented both
the number of employees and its payroll
when applying for insurance, while insured
and during annual audits conducted by the
SCIENCE
Continued from page 1
Carlmont students were taught the third
grade science standards then told to research
and develop an age-appropriate science exper-
iment, said biotech teacher Dan Raffa. From
there, each class voted on the lab to be taught.
Groups of teens were paired with two to three
students from George Metropulos’ third grade
class.
The partnership began a number of years
back with the third graders visiting to take a
dance lesson from students and a tour. It later
expanded to include Carlmont student-led
activities in 2005.
“It helps reinforce science skills,” said
Metropulos.
The younger students work with the older
students while having fun and learning.
Nine-year-old Caroline Conway likes sci-
ence anyway.
“You get to try new things and do things you
haven’t [done],” she said.
Conway wasn’t sure of the outcome of the
various experiments but enjoyed the process.

what the adverse effects may be.
“Ultimately, it can be a more pleasant
experience for the patient,” Crane said.
Before going public in February, the com-
pany reported earnings of $104 million for
2010, up 11 percent over the previous year.
It also recently bought a company called
Modality Inc., based in Durham, N.C., that
will allow Epocrates to diversify and expand
the breadth of clinical information available
to health care professionals.
Currently, Epocrates employs more than
300 people in three states and that number
should grow this year as it sets to expand.
With the recent acquisition, last year’s
strong earnings and the company’s success-
ful IPO, the company is poised to strengthen
its position in the market, a market that was
virtually nonexistent just 10 years ago.
In fact, venture capitalists are starting to
see the growth potential in health care
mobile apps and have started to ramp up
investment in the segment.
Shares of Epocrates started selling on the
NASDAQ Feb. 2 at $16 a share. Yesterday
the stock closed at $20.99.

carriers. Genesis allegedly employed more
than 140 employees but Reif reported less
than half the staff and gave auditors fraudu-
lent paperwork to support the false monthly
reports.
During a search of the business, investiga-
tors actually found the fraudulent books,
said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones said
the case is an example of what happens to
those who commit fraud.
“Business owners should be on notice,
egregiously under-reporting wages to avoid
premium payments will not go unpunished,”
Jones said in a prepared statement. “These
violations will be fully investigated by my
department.”
But Smith said the insurance companies
never had substantial claims.
If convicted, Reif faces up to five years in
prison and a $50,000 fine, according to the
insurance department.
Reif has operated the business with her
brother since 2003 as the fourth-generation
offshoot of the family business, according to
the company’s website.
The site also notes it has “grown by pro-
viding superior service, at a reasonable
price, with honesty and reliability for over
80 years.”

Junior Lindsay Thompson enjoyed the
assignment, noting it’s equally fun for the
teenagers, even if they won’t admit it.
Linda Darwish, a senior, really enjoyed
working with the kids and hoped to help chil-
dren in the future.
Seventeen-year-old David Arrellin thought
the preparation and execution of the lab was a
great experience.
“I enjoy playing with the little kids while
also teaching them. It’s easy, but at the same
time challenging. I didn’t know if it would be
dangerous,” he said.
There were never any real safety risks. But
just to be sure, teens oversaw experiments and
helped where they could.
Sophomore Kendall Shafe, for example,
held KaleyBelle Gruener’s safety goggles
while the 9-year-old poured baking soda into a
concoction that would quickly erupt. It was
the last ingredient in a vinegar and baking
soda volcano.
Explosions played a big role in Friday’s les-

Velschow thought it would explode, but was-

If you are willing to be a participant and not a leader,
you’ll get a chance to be part of a very successful
involvement with another in the coming months. It
could be one of the best alliances that you ever make.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Rather than taking on
an assignment with a bad attitude, try to temporarily
postpone it. With this frame of mind, you are only likely
to mess things up for yourself and the others involved.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A person with an
antagonistic attitude could spoil everyone’s fun. If
there is someone among your group who fits this
description, don’t include him or her in any social
arrangements.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If the world fails to look
upon you like royalty, don’t take your disappointment
out on your family members. They aren’t the ones
who are treating you shabbily or with disrespect.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Make suggestions, not
demands on companions. You can try to encourage
others to see the fun in an activity, but if they still
aren’t interested, accept their ideas and move on.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be cautious about doing
something with friends that places the greater bur-
den, either financially or physically, on a few. Unless
the load is equally distributed, there will be anger
among the ranks.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Being self-sufficient is
an admirable quality, but don’t carry it to extremes by higher than usual. If someone tries to goad you into
shutting everyone else out. Even if your capabilities one, keep calm and don’t let your temper break out.

Gadhafi forces attack rebel city
By Karin Laun and Ben Hubbard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TRIPOLI, Libya — Moammar Gadhafi’s
troops launched a powerful assault with tanks
and rockets Friday on Misrata, the last major
rebel city in western Libya, sending residents
fleeing to increasingly crowded safe areas of
the city that are still out of the Libyan leader’s
reach, witnesses said.
Misrata has become emblematic of the lim-
its of NATO’s air campaign, with the
alliance’s top military commander saying he
needs more precision attack aircraft to avoid
civilian casualties in urban combat. President
Barack Obama acknowledged in an interview
that the two-month-old civil war has reached a
stalemate.
After a weeklong flurry of high-level diplo-
matic meetings in Europe and the Middle
East, rebel leaders complained that the inter-
national community is not doing enough to
keep Gadhafi’s troops at bay. In the capital of
Tripoli, a government official denied Libyan
troops are shelling Misrata and said they are
only taking defensive actions.
Friday’s fighting in Misrata — even as a
NATO foreign ministers meeting in Berlin
debated handling of the Libya air campaign
— highlight rebel worries that international
intervention won’t come fast enough or will
be ineffective.
“Time is critical, especially for the people in
the west part of the country, especially in
Misrata,” said Mustafa Gheriani, a spokesman
for the rebels who seized much of eastern
Libya from Gadhafi at the start of the war. “Is
there something else on the diplomatic ground
that they know that we don’t to put more pres-
sure on Gadhafi? The guy is still shelling and
killing and it makes no difference to him.”
Rights groups have warned that the situa-
tion in Misrata, Libya’s third-largest city, is
dire after 50 days of siege by Gadhafi’s troops.
Hospitals are unable to cope with growing
numbers of casualties, including many shrap-
nel injuries.
Rebels in Misrata alleged that Gadhafi’s

Violence spikes in Greek rebel town
KERATEA, Greece — As explosions
boom, the town’s loudspeakers blare:
“Attention! Attention! We are under attack!”
Air raid sirens wail through the streets, min-
gling with the frantic clanging of church bells.
Clouds of tear gas waft between houses as
helmeted riot police move in to push back the
rebels.
This isn’t a war zone, but a small town just
outside Athens. And while its fight is about a
garbage dump, it captures Greece’s angry
mood over its devastated economy.
As unemployment rises and austerity bites
ever harder, tempers seem to fray faster than
ever these days in Greece, with citizens of all
stripes increasingly thumbing their noses at
authority. Some refuse to pay increased high-
way tolls and public transport tickets, and
there has been a rise in politicians being heck-
led — even assaulted — by constituents.
The anger is most palpable in Keratea, a
town of about 15,000 people some 50 kilome-
ters (30 miles) south of Athens that appears to
have spun completely out of control. The
state’s attempt to start work on a planned
garbage dump on a nearby hillside in
