Burlingame police Capt. Ed Wood, who has been the inter-

Wood assumed the role of acting chief

Wood, 47, was asked to take the position of
acting police chief for an indeterminate

Local boy advances to National Geographic Bee finals
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Carlos’ Tuvya Bergson-Michelson, the
only fourth grader in the country to make it to
the National Geographic Bee, advanced as
one of the top 10 finalists who will compete in
the final round today.
Ten-year-old Bergson-Michelson, who
attends the Nueva School in Hillsborough,
was among 54 state-level winners who took
part in the preliminaries Tuesday. Ten, includ-
ing Bergson-Michelson, will compete today in
the final round of the National Geographic
Bee held in Washington, D.C., which will be
moderated by “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek.
Each of the finalists earned $500. The grand
prize winner will earn a $25,000 scholarship.

Grand jury suggests schools address bullying
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Bullying has gained wide media coverage in
recent years but many San Mateo County dis-
tricts have neither a policy regarding such
harassment nor a method for handling the
problem — an issue the grand jury recom-
mends be addressed within the next year.
In a five-page report released Tuesday, the
San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury explored
what rules are in place throughout the county
and found much work is needed. Only two of
the 23 county school districts — San Mateo
Union and Cabrillo Unified — have bullying
policies. Eighteen, including the previous two,
have some form of harassment policy which
does not necessarily include cyber bullying,

His placement moved Bergson-Michelson

As a result, the grand jury recommended the
San Mateo County superintendent of schools
facilitate a meeting before the end of the
2011-12 school year to develop standardized
policies on bullying and enforcement of those
rules. The public should then be made aware
of the goals and possible punishment for bul-
lying.
Defining bullying as “aggressive behavior
that is intentional, repeated over time and
involves an imbalance of power or strength,”
the report noted it can take many forms like
physical violence, name calling, intimidation,
exclusion or online posts. In 2003, the

EDUCATION Council compromises on parking fine hike

• The Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary School District Board
of Trustees will hold a special meet-
ing to discuss alternative options to
changing school boundaries, like a
district-wide lottery policy.
Originally scheduled to begin at 7
p.m., the board will now meet 8 p.m. Thursday, May 26 at
Nesbit School, 500 Biddulph Way, Belmont.
CITY GOVERNMENT
• The Redwood City Council agreed Monday night to
place two tax measures on the November ballot, a transient
occupancy tax and a business tax. If voters approve the pro-
posed TOT hike from 10 percent to 12 percent, the city will
receive an estimated $640,000 more annually. An increase
in the business license tax would add an estimated extra
$825,000 annually to city coffers by fiscal year 2014-15.
Both measures require a simple majority to pass.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Some parking fines in San Carlos just
got a little more expensive although the
City Council agreed not to increase the
penalty for exceeding the allotted time
limits.
After the council failed to halve the pro-
posed $8 increase across the board
Monday night, it agreed 3-1 only to
change the fines for parking infractions
that don’t involve overtime. Councilman
Bob Grassilli dissented.
The violations subject to the increase
include parking in red zones, within 15
feet of a fire station, where prohibited and
with the wheels 18 inches from the curb.
Councilman Matt Grocott, who made
the final motion, said even the existing $35
fine can be a financial hardship. Changing
all fines to $43 is even more so, he said,
particularly for residents without jobs or
who live in neighborhoods where parking
near their homes can cause tickets.
“I think, given our economy, the fine
where it stands is OK and increasing it up
to $43, I think it’s a big percentage and it’s
too much,” Grocott said.
Grassilli agreed, but failed to gain sup-
port for a motion to increase all fines only
by $4. Councilman Randy Royce dis-
agreed with Grocott’s initial proposal to
let the current fine stand, saying the city
already gives residents a deal on parking
by not using meters.
“You end up spending as much as
Starbucks as you do the quarters in your
ashtray” for parking, Royce said.
Prior to the vote, resident Pat Bell sug-
gested the city make parking violations
administrative citations, similar to code
violations, that can be fined through the
city without a requirement to pay a por-
tion to the county or state. Doing so, she
said, would allow the city to maintain the
status quo and keep more money in its
own coffers.
The city of San Carlos last raised park-
ing fines in 2008. The Police Department
budgeted $150,000 from fines this fiscal
year but so far has raised only $61,852,
according to data from San Mateo County
Sheriff’s Capt. Greg Rothaus.
In the last two years, the city has lost
$7.50 per citation due to two state bills
diverting some of the money for court
maintenance and construction. As a result,
the average revenue loss is more than
$36,000.

New vision for South City redevelopment
Housing, retail, public gathering place among planned features
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Creating a stronger mixed-use area
with a new library that promotes walk-
ing are high on South San Francisco’s
priority list for the years to come.
The city began working on such a
vision for the northern portion of El
Camino Real between Chestnut Avenue
and the South San Francisco Bay Area
Rapid Transit station years ago.
Tonight, it will discuss zoning adjust-
ments which would be the first step to
reaching the larger goal for the north-
western part of the city. Among the
overall plans would be to connect the
BART station to Centennial Way, offer-
ing more housing and business opportu-
nities and promoting mass transporta-
tion.
Mayor Kevin Mullin added it is the
largest land-use proposal he will likely
work on.
“It’s transformative,” he said, adding
he is excited for change but also sensi-
tive to residents concerned about the
impacts of such a development.
When complete, the vision calls for
vibrant high-density development with
369,000 square feet of new retail,
73,000 square feet of new office space,
a 50,000-square-foot library and more
than 1,200 new housing units, Assistant
City Manager Marty Van Duyn wrote in
a staff report.
Mullin’s vision also includes a plaza
area where the community could regu-
larly gather for
events. He used
Redwood City’s
Courthouse Square
as an example, rec-
ognizing, however,
that South San
Francisco doesn’t
quite have the same
Kevin Mullin weather.
By 2008, South
City had secured a 50-acre site on
Chestnut Avenue through
Redevelopment Agency purchases. Part
of the land will be used to partner with
Kaiser to upgrade and retrofit facilities.
Other space is earmarked for communi-
ty enhancements such as a new library
and open space. Community meetings
were held to gather input. The 20-year
vision plan does require some changes
in the city’s general plan like allowing
for higher density and building height.
Zoning rules to establish development
review are also needed, Van Duyn
wrote.
At a recent Planning Commission
meeting, two residents questioned the
demand for such a development. Mullin
said it will allow South San Francisco
to meet the growing housing needs not
only for those working in the city but
for an aging population who could ben-
efit from the ability to walk to ameni-
ties like the post office or grocery store.
At the same meeting, the council will
consider approving contract agreements
with five labor groups — Confidential
LOCAL
Unit, Teamsters Local 856; Public
Safety Managers; South San Francisco
Police Association; Executive
Management Unit; and International
Association of Firefighters, Local 1507
Unit.
All five agreements begin July 1,
2011 and run through June 30, 2012.
Each agrees that there will not be any
across-the-board wage increases and
takes out “me too” clauses, which allow
one group the same perk negotiated by
another. Three units — Confidential
Unit, Teamsters Local 856 South San
Francisco; Police Association; and the
International Association of
Firefighters, Local 1507 Unit — agreed
to remove the “no layoff or furlough”
clauses which ended with the contract
last year.
Lastly, the Executive Management
Unit will have a provision added to its
contract allowing the city manager,
working with the City Council, to offer
special compensation, not to exceed 15
percent of a person’s base pay, based on
special skills, knowledge, abilities or
work assignment.
The council meets 7 p.m. Wednesday,
May 25 at the Municipal Services
Center, 33 Arroyo Drive, South San
Francisco.

Shower groping brings four months jail
A man who exposed himself and groped a showering female
at Pete’s Harbor in Redwood City was sentenced to 120 days
in jail and banned from the facilities after pleading no contest
to two misdemeanors.
John Mitchel Blake, 57, receives credit for 30 days against
the term and will serve two years court probation. He must also
stay at least 25 yards away from the women’s boat and show-
er facilities at Pete’s Harbor.
On July 27, according to the District Attorney’s Office, Bake
approached a woman using the shower and exposed himself.
He also allegedly groped her and made sexual comments
before she escaped and ran to a friend for help. Redwood City
police arrested Blake later that day.
He has been free from custody on a $50,000 bail bond.
Man, 88, knocked unconscious in home invasion
An 88-year-old man was knocked unconscious during a
home invasion in Menlo Park early Sunday morning, police
said.
At about 5:15 a.m., two men entered a home in the 1000
block of Windermere Avenue after kicking in a side garage
door, Menlo Park police spokeswoman Nicole Acker said.
The suspects started to ransack the home when they were
confronted by the elderly man who lives there, Acker said.
One of the suspects said he was armed with a gun and told

the head with an unknown object and lost consciousness.
He called police when he regained consciousness at about
7:30 a.m.
The victim is recovering from a minor head injury, Acker
said. Nothing appeared to have been stolen from his home.
Detectives are investigating a possible link between the
home invasion and two other incidents reported in the city at
about the same time.
One of the suspects was described as a black man in his early
20s, around 5 feet 10 inches tall wearing a dark hoodie and
dark shoes.

aged to contact Menlo Park police at (650) 330-6300 or the

Aggressive Cremation Group:

Seniors Targeted - Beware
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE – They
are at it again!
Recently I was
made aware of a
new cluster of mass
mailings being sent
to Seniors by a
group calling
themselves “Smart Cremation” (similar to
the mailings sent earlier this year by the
“Trident Society”). Several Seniors have
come to me asking who is “Smart
Cremation”, where did they come from and
my opinion on their legitimacy.
When ever I hear about mailings from
“quickie” cremation outfits that target
Seniors I am always suspicious about their
intensions. It is a fact that various
unscrupulous entities target Seniors because
they are thought of as “Easy Prey”.
I did some investigating and found out
the following: According to the website
“Ripoff Report” the group calling
themselves “Smart Cremation” is run by
“Jerry Norman” who was allegedly fired as
CEO of the Neptune Society. “Smart
Cremation” is linked to “Accucare” and
“Gateway Crematory” who are all one in the
same. “Smart Cremation” and the other
above names exist under the umbrella of
“Northstar Memorial Group” in Houston,
Texas. There is apparently some concern on
how “Smart Cremation” collects and holds
money from the Seniors they are targeting.
Yes, I know…there are a lot of names &
details to sink in…but there’s more…
Using visual tricks “Smart Cremation”
has been printing materials which are
specific to certain targeted Seniors such as
using flower envelopes mailed to women
and U.S. flag envelopes mailed to Veterans,
etc., all meant to be subliminally enticing.
Also, “Smart Cremation” advertizes
themselves as being “green” and “earth
friendly” when in reality the process they
use to cremate is no different than any other
crematory in the United States. It is well
documented that toxic greenhouse gases are
emitted into the atmosphere during the
cremation process. An example of a true
green option would be a natural type burial
certified by the “Green Burial Council”.
There are too many particulars about
“Smart Cremation” to list here, but on the
internet you can read the entire report for
yourself along with comments on legal
troubles from concerned consumers at:
http://www.ripoffreport.com/funeral-
services/smart-cremation-jerr/smart-
cremation-jerry-norman-e2e86.htm
I have to emphasize that if you are
looking into cremation or funeral matters
please please do your homework and call
your local Funeral Home, compare their
services and ask questions. Go to a Funeral
Director who is well known in the
community. Please don’t become a “target”
and allow these out of state mailings to lure
you in with misleading messages. They will
send sales people to your home who will
then be hard to get rid of without your
signature on a contract.
To conclude, here are all my best wishes
to you, your family and loved ones.
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

Family of beaten
Giants fan files lawsuit
LOS ANGELES — The family of a San
Francisco Giants fan who was brutally beaten
at Dodger Stadium in
March sued the team and
its troubled owner Frank
McCourt on Tuesday,
claiming security cutbacks
were partially to blame for
the attack.
The suit filed in Los
Angeles Superior Court on
Bryan Stow behalf of Bryan Stow con-

Foster mom cleared of burning child with bleach
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A foster mom accused by prosecutors of
burning her 20-month-old ward with bleach-
soaked diapers had her case dismissed yester-
day after a judge found insufficient evidence
to try her on a single count of child cruelty.
Judge Richard Livermore heard from two
prosecution witnesses before dismissing the
charges against Patricia Ann Moore, 66.
Livermore said he found the case a tragic
accident instead of a crime, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Wagstaffe said his office will consider
whether to refile the case.
Moore, who has been
free on $50,000 bail, was
arrested Aug. 27 after hos-
pital staff tending to the
toddler alerted authorities
that the child had first- and
second-degree burns on
her buttocks.
According to prosecu-
Patricia Moore
tors, Moore later told
authorities she used bleach-soaked diapers to
clean the child who soiled herself quite often.
After Moore’s adult daughter brought the girl
to the South San Francisco Kaiser Medical
Center for care, doctors allegedly noted the
burns were in a waffle pattern like that of dia-
per fabric. Moore allegedly also could not
explain why, if the girl had been bathed, she
didn’t have burns on other parts of her body
that would have been submerged, such as her
legs.
Prosecutors charged Moore with a single
count of willful cruelty to a child likely to pro-
duce great bodily injury. The charge carries up
to five years in prison.

negligent by not providing more security and
not having adequate lighting in the parking lot
where the attack occurred on Opening Day.
Combined, both elements “provided a per-
fect opportunity to commit a variety of
crimes,” the lawsuit states. “Unfortunately, for
Bryan Stow, this is exactly what happened.”
Stow, 42, remains in critical but stable con-
dition under heavy sedation to prevent
seizures caused by the traumatic brain injury
he suffered in the March 31 attack.
Police arrested Giovanni Ramirez, 31, over
the weekend but charges have not yet been
filed against him.
Police arrest burglary suspects
Two men are in custody for allegedly bur-
glarizing a home on the 3400 block of Hoover
Street in Redwood City Friday afternoon,
according to police.
At approximately 2:35 p.m., an alert neigh-
bor saw two men exit the residence and take
off in a car. The neighbor got the description
and a partial license plate, according to police.
On Tuesday, a Redwood City police officer
spotted the car in the area of Fifth Avenue and
Spring Street and pulled it over. In a follow-up
investigation, police connected Jose Mungia
Godinez, 26, of Palo Alto, and Rafael Arceo,
20, of Sunnyvale to the burglary and arrested
them on charges of burglary and conspiracy,
according to police.

Most police agencies in San Mateo County

An investigation into local police agencies

out of their jurisdiction or collaboratively for
drug enforcement or SWAT activities, the grand

The grand jury’s investigation included 20

The Sheriff’s Office has different policies,
which the grand jury suggested should be
changed to match the other agencies. In addi-

same extent that they are required to have a

Herniated Disc? Severe
Back/Neck Pain? Sciatica?
Spinal Decompression may be your answer to minimizing your chronic pain
and restoring better motion and function back to your spine.
At Crossroads Health Center, your
Satisfaction is Guaranteed. Let us help you
get the quality of life back that you deserve.
M y name is Dr. Thomas Ferrigno D.C., owner
of Crossroads Health Center in Campbell and
San Mateo. I understand what it feels like to live with
chronic back pain. Due to several auto accidents and
sports injuries, I have personally suffered from multiple
disc herniations in both my neck and lower back and
understand firsthand the severe pain and disability that
comes with these types of injuries to the point where I
was forced to sell all 3 of my practices. I did not want
to have spinal surgery due to the high risk; instead I
wanted a non-surgical non-invasive therapy that would
help me manage my condition.
That is when I turned to Spinal Decompression, not as
a doctor, but as a patient and it completely changed my
life. Within a few months my pain went from severe to
mild and I was able to return back to my activities of
golf, weight lifting and spending quality time with my
family. It has been my mission ever since to share this
great new technology with as many people as possible.
While non-surgical spinal decompression is a rather
new treatment, there’s plenty of research to back up its
claims. Give us a call and we will send you the studies
or visit my website at www.BayAreaBackPain.Com.
However it’s the results we see every day in our office
that get us so excited about this new non-invasive
treatment. Read what a few of our patients are saying.
My severe lower back and sciatica pain have
been reduced significantly since receiving spinal
decompression therapy. I am now able to walk, golf
and do things without pain that I haven’t been able to
do for years.
Thank you, Dr. Ferrigno
—C.M. Allard
During the 1 1/2 years of having constant daily lower
back pain and spasms, I took anti-inflammatory and
pain medication, but nothing helped lessen the pain.
Physical therapy didn’t help. When an MRI showed that
I had two degenerative discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections. The first one helped a tiny
bit, but the others didn’t do a thing for my pain. The
only thing that made the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at Crossroads Health
Center. Four years later and I am still pain-free!

Crews race to find survivors
By Alan Scher Zagier,
Nomaan Merchant
and Jim Salter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JOPLIN, Mo. — Emergency crews drilled
through concrete at a ruined Home Depot,
making peepholes in the rubble in hopes of
finding lost shoppers and employees. A dog
clambered through the shattered remains of a
house, sniffing for any sign of the woman and
infant who lived there.
Across this devastated city, searchers
moved from one enormous debris pile to
another Tuesday, racing to respond to any
report of a possible survivor.
As the death toll in Joplin rose to at least
122, another line of severe thunderstorms
spawned tornadoes in Oklahoma and Kansas
that killed at least six people.
Nine survivors had been pulled from the
aftermath in Missouri, and searchers fought
the clock because anybody still alive after the
deadliest single tornado in 60 years was los-
ing precious strength two days after the disas-
ter. And another round of storms was closing
in.
For Milissa Burns, hope was fading that her
16-month-old grandson, whose parents were
both hospitalized after the twister hit their
house, would be found.
She showed up Tuesday at a demolished
dental office near the family’s home to watch
a search team. At one point, a dog identified
possible human remains, prompting eight
searchers to dig frantically, but they came
NASA to abandon
trapped rover Spirit
LOS ANGELES — Spirit, the scrappy
robot geologist that captivated the world with
its antics on Mars before getting stuck in a
sand trap, is about to meet its end after six
productive years.
Spirit has been incommunicado for more
than a year despite daily calls by NASA. The
cause of Spirit’s silence may never be known,
but it’s likely the bitter Martian winter dam-
aged its electronics, preventing the six-wheel
rover from waking up.
The space agency tried every trick to listen
for Spirit to no avail. Project manager John
Callas of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory
said the last commands will be sent up
Wednesday. Though orbiting spacecraft will

chances are slim that Spirit will respond.
“Spirit went into a deep sleep,” said Callas,
who said the plucky rover will be remem-
bered for demystifying Mars to the masses.
When the rover team gets together this
summer, David Lavery of NASA headquar-
ters said the mood would likely be that of an
Irish wake rather than funeral.
“We drove it until its wheels came off,” he
said. “We never expected that that would be
the way that we’d finish up with this project.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MENLO PARK — A San Francisco Bay
Area sanitary district is responsible for 21 ille-

sloughs that drain into the Bay, a federal judge
has found.
U.S. District Court Judge Edward Chen also

fined up to $975,000 in federal Clean Water
Act violations.

weather service began keeping official
records in 1950 and the eighth-deadliest in
U.S. history.
Authorities said an estimated 750 people
were hurt and an unknown number were still
unaccounted for, but authorities were reluc-
tant to declare a specific number.
“That does not mean they are injured or
deceased. It means that loved ones are not
aware of their whereabouts,” City Manager
Mark Rohr said, explaining that many had
probably left the area without telling family
members.
Another top job was testing the city’s torna-
do sirens to make sure they were operable
ahead of another round of potentially violent
weather starting Tuesday evening and expect-
ed to last into Wednesday in some places.
Emergency officials warned jittery residents
well in advance of the test.
David Imy, a meteorologist at the federal
government’s Storm Prediction Center in
Norman, Okla., said conditions were ripe for
severe thunderstorms, including tornadoes, in
parts of Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas,
Kentucky and Tennessee, as well as nearly all
of Oklahoma.
Throughout the search efforts, new reports
emerged of clusters of victims: 11 people
dead in a nursing home, three bodies found in
an Elks Lodge.
The tornado tossed three vehicles into the
Greenbriar nursing home and left nothing
more than a 10-foot section of an interior wall
standing. On the night of the twister, the
Joplin Elks lodge had been scheduled to host
its weekly bingo game.
Baykeeper sued the district in 2009 after state
data showed it had reported more than 300
sewer overflows of 60,000 gallons between
2004 and 2010.
Chen found that the district was not permit-
ted for the discharges, as is required under
federal clean water laws.
West Bay’s sewer system overflowed into
San Francisquito Creek, Los Trancos Creek,
Ravenswood Slough, San Francisco Bay and
other waterways.
A representative from the sanitary district
did not immediately return a call from the
Associated Press seeking comment.
The judge said 68 other spills that
Baykeeper is seeking action on will have to be
proved in a trial.

Egypt’s Mubarak to be tried over protester deaths
CAIRO — Egypt’s prosecutor general ordered Tuesday for-
mer President Hosni Mubarak put on trial on charges of cor-
ruption and conspiring in the deadly shoot-
ings of protesters during the uprising that
ousted him, a stunning step against a leader
whose power was nearly unquestioned for
three decades.
The announcement that Mubarak would
face a criminal court grants a major
demand of Egyptians who have threatened
a second revolution amid growing worries
Hosni Mubarak about the slow pace of change under the
country’s new military rulers. The charges
could carry the death sentence, said the prosecutor-general
spokesman Adel el-Said.
It would be the first time an Arab leader is sent to trial sole-
ly by his own people in modern history. Iraq’s leader Saddam
Hussein was toppled during the U.S. invasion in 2003 and sen-
tenced three years later to death for killing 140 Shiites.
U.S. reaches out to rebels amid withering airstrikes
TRIPOLI, Libya — The Obama administration reached out
Tuesday to the Libyan rebels and said Moammar Gadhafi
would “inevitably” be forced from power as the U.S.-backed
NATO coalition launched a withering bombardment on the
Libyan leader’s stronghold of Tripoli.
The NATO airstrikes struck in rapid succession shortly after
midnight, setting off more than 20 explosions in the most
intensive bombardment yet of the Libyan capital. Plumes of
acrid-smelling smoke rose from an area around Gadhafi’s
sprawling Bab al-Aziziya compound in central Tripoli.
And late Tuesday, NATO hit Tripoli again, aiming at least six
airstrikes at the same targets and another farther away. Smoke
rose from the area near Gadhafi’s compound for the second
night in a row. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Flights canceled as volcanic ash touches Scotland
LONDON — Ash spewing from an Icelandic volcano is
causing disruption and days of uncertainty to more parts of
Europe, as officials in Germany said that dozens of flight will
be grounded on Wednesday because of levels of ash in the
country’s northern regions.
Even though some say it’s been a massive overreaction by
badly prepared safety regulators — one airline even claims the
official scientific findings are simply wrong — hundreds of
flights were canceled Tuesday as winds blew the cloud of ash

Affordable Housing Week showed it takes a village
By Corinne Goodrich
San Mateo County’s Affordable Housing
Week, which culminated on Saturday, May
14, with a foreclosure resource fair in Daly
City and a tour of affordable housing in
downtown Redwood City, highlighted the
ongoing critical need for affordable housing
by all segments of our community. This
remains true despite the economic downturn;
two weeks ago, the National Low-Income
Housing Coalition named this county the
most expensive in the nation for renters.
Even as many people struggle to make ends
meet, rents are going up.
Through the 10 events scheduled through-
out the week, it also became apparent that “it
takes a village” to create the affordable hous-
ing needed in San Mateo County. Multiple
community partners from the public, private
and nonprofit sectors collaborate to make
housing affordable.
Those partners included Peninsula Conflict
Resolution Center, EPA CAN DO, and
Peninsula Interfaith Action, which helped
organize community workshops on the Bay
Area’s new “Sustainable Communities
Strategy.” The Housing Endowment and
Regional Trust (HEART) of San Mateo
County held an executive briefing to high-
light its essential bridge financing for afford-
able developments, and to describe the future
of green building. Supervisor Rose Jacobs
Gibson, who is the chair of the HEART

Stocks end lower

Oil (per barrel) 99.31 and Matthew Craft
Gold 1,524.50 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Continued worries
about Europe’s lingering debt crisis
overshadowed a small rebound in oil
prices and pushed stocks slightly lower
on Tuesday.
Oil rose nearly $2 to $99.59 per barrel
after major banks raised their forecasts
for crude prices. Goldman Sachs, J.P.
Morgan and Morgan Stanley analysts
predicted a rise in global demand would
drive oil prices higher later this year.
Goldman analysts say oil prices could
reach $135 a barrel by the end of 2012.
Stocks swung between gains and loss-
es throughout the day, with Chevron
Corp. and other energy companies post-
ing the largest gains. Energy companies
in the S&P 500 rose 1.3 percent, the
most of the ten industry groups in the
index.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell
25.05 points, or 0.2 percent, to close at
12,356.21. The Standard & Poor’s 500
index fell 1.09 point to 1,316.28. The
Nasdaq composite fell 12.74, or 0.5 per-
cent, to 2,746.16.

The new generation of renters
Rising rentals
• The pace of apartment construction has
surged 115 percent from its October 2009 low.
It’s still well below a healthy level.But permits for
apartments,a gauge of future construction,hit
a two-year peak in March.By contrast,permits
for single-family home are on pace for their
lowest annual level on records dating to 1960.
• The number of completed apartments
averaged about 250,000 a year before the
boom. They fell to 54,000 last year and will
probably number around the same this year.
But then the number will likely double to about
100,000 in 2012 and hit 250,000 by 2013 or
2014,according to the CoStar Group,a research
firm. The lag is due to the time it takes for an
apartment building to be completed: an
average of 14 months.
• Demand is driving up rents.The median price
of advertised rents rose 4.1 percent between
the end of 2009 and the end of 2010, census
data shows. Few expect the higher prices to
stem the flood of renters,though.One reason:
Younger adults don’t value homeownership as
earlier generations did and many prefer to rent,
studies show.
• Rental housing is giving builders more work
just as construction of single-family homes has
dried up.Still,that economic lift won’t make up
for all the single-family houses not being built.
Apartments account for only about one-fourth
of homes.And renters are outspent roughly 2-
to-1 by homeowners, who pay for items from
lawn care to remodeling and help drive the
economy.
Gates says big budget cuts
will diminish U.S. influence
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — In a parting shot by
one of the nation’s longest-serving
Pentagon chiefs, Robert Gates on Tuesday
warned that shrinking defense budgets
will mean a smaller military and a dimin-
ished American role in the world.
Gates, a self-described “old Cold
Warrior” who will retire next month, said
that barring a catastrophic world conflict
or a new threat to the very existence of the
U.S., there will be no foreseeable return to
the booming Pentagon budgets of the past
decade. “The money and the political sup-
port simply aren’t there,” he said.
This means the Obama administration
and Congress must now decide how
much military power the U.S. should give
up, how that fits U.S. goals for maintain-
ing global influence, and how to pay for
it, Gates said. “A smaller military, no mat-

job market and other signs of economic
recovery. But all three major indexes
have lost more than 3.5 percent this
month, even as earnings remain strong.
Widespread optimism has been shoved
aside by a host of concerns, especially
the impact of higher oil prices on con-
sumer spending and the risk that
Europe’s debt troubles could get worse.
Markets faced more troubling news
about Europe on Tuesday, when
Greece’s main opposition party said it
opposed the government’s latest
attempts to reduce debt. The news fur-
ther dampened hopes that the country
might be able to repair its finances
enough to get another loan package from
the International Monetary Fund.
Ratings agency Moody’s also warned
that a restructuring of Greece’s debt
would be considered a default. That
would cause borrowing costs for other
debt-strapped European countries to
soar.
Uri Landesman, president of hedge
fund manager Platinum Partners, said a
Greek default could start a chain reaction
affecting larger countries like Spain —
the fourth-largest economy in Europe —
wreaking havoc on the global economy.
By Derek Kravitz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A growing num-
ber of Americans can’t afford a home or
don’t want to own one, a trend that’s
spawning a generation of renters and a
rise in apartment construction.
Many of the new renters are former
owners who lost homes to foreclosure
or bankruptcy. For others who could
afford one, a home now feels too costly,
too risky or unlikely to appreciate
enough to make it a worthwhile invest-
ment.
The proportion of U.S. households
that own homes is at its lowest point
since 1998. When the housing bubble
burst four years ago, 31.6 percent of
households were renters. Now, it’s at
33.6 percent and rising. Since the hous-
ing meltdown, nearly 3 million house-
holds have become renters. At least 3
million more are expected by 2015,
according to census data analyzed by
Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing
Studies and the Associated Press.
All told, nearly 38 million house-
holds are renters.

fewer things,” he said
in a speech at the

Institute, a conserva-
tive-leaning think tank

His speech marked
the culmination of a series of recent
remarks in which Gates has acknowl-
edged that the Pentagon’s free-spending
ways are ending, while also cautioning
against budget cuts so deep as to “hollow
out” the military. Warning against a temp-
tation for the country to lower its guard
and relax when threats seem less press-
ing, he wants his legacy to be that he
steered the Pentagon toward long-term
stability.

ago in more than half the 54 biggest

cheaper to rent in about 72 percent of
metro areas.

“There’s been this idea for years, a

a home improves and strengthens com-

fellow at the nonprofit Urban Land
Institute. “But what we’ve learned over
the past few years is that many people
simply are not ready to own a home.”

U.S. to install car-charging
stations in five cities
WASHINGTON — To boost use of
electric vehicles, the Obama administra-
tion is installing charging stations for
government vehicles in five cities,
including Washington and Detroit.
The General Services Administration
plans to buy 116 plug-in electric vehi-
cles, including 101 Chevrolet Volts, and
will assign them to government agen-
cies in five cities: Washington, Detroit,
Los Angeles, San Diego and San
Francisco.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu and
other officials were set to announce the
purchase Tuesday, as well as a directive
from President Barack Obama ordering
the government to purchase only fuel
efficient cars and trucks by 2015.
The president has called for a one-
third reduction in U.S. oil imports by
2025 and wants to put 1 million plug-in
electric vehicles on the road by 2015.

Menlo stuns Carmel
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
SAN JOSE — In a stunner at yesterday’s
Central Coast Section Division III semifinal, the
Menlo School (25-5) baseball team recovered
from a six-run deficit to down No. 2-seed Carmel
9-8 in nine innings at San Jose’s Municipal
Stadium.
It looked unlikely Menlo would overcome an
early 8-2 deficit. The No. 3-seed Knights were
coming off a mercy-rule win in Saturday’s DIII
quarterfinals, and it looked as though the tables
might be turned. After Menlo reliever Jake
Bruml stranded two Carmel runners in scoring
position to end the fifth, however, the Carmel
defense derailed.
In the sixth, Menlo jockeyed back to tie it, tak-
ing advantage of four Carmel errors to plate six
unearned runs.
“I’ve seen plenty of innings like that, but not in
that situation where you have two teams fighting
for a CCS championship,” Menlo manager Craig
Schoof said.
Menlo sent 10 batters to the plate amid its for-
tuitous sixth-inning rally. After a pair of hits by
Bruml and Mikey Diekroeger to set the table,
Carmel committed errors on even the most rou-
tine plays imaginable. On a possible double-play
grounder, Carmel’s second baseman dropped a
throw as he attempted to pivot across the bag.
Later in the inning, the first baseman dropped a
fairly routine throw across the diamond.
All told, Carmel starting pitcher Tyler Knight
was charged with eight runs over 5 1/3 innings of
work. However, only one of those runs was
earned.
Bruml was the hero on the mound for Menlo.
Coming off a five-inning no-hitter in Saturday’s
10-0 win over Sacred Heart Cathedral, the senior
right-hander entered in the fifth inning in relief of
starter Freddy Avis. Bruml rejuvenated the tat-
tered Knights, working 4 2/3 shutout innings to
earn the win, improving his record to 10-2.
“I don’t really think I felt the effects of
Saturday’s game, because I only threw like 70
pitches. So … it was kind of like a bullpen,”
Bruml said.

Exactly 17 years day after they earned their pre-

you cannot take a tape measure.
The story goes like this. Two weeks ago,
during the first day of the Peninsula track and
field champions, Taufahema and Hall compet-
ed for Aragon in the discus throw with the top-
five finishers qualifying for CCS. Taufahema’s
throw had all but locked in a fourth place spot,
and Hall appeared to be on his way too. That
was until South San Francisco’s Christopher

one else on the ice — could find the puck.
“The only guy who knew where that puck was,
was Kevin Bieksa and he almost fanned on it,”

About a week later, Taufahema found himself

returned to the track team after a two-year hia-
tus as he concentrated on football and rugby,
used raw talent and ability to net a fourth-place
finish and that second spot in CCS.
That night, Taufahema made a selfless deci-

San Benito
shuts down
Scots in CCS
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
SAN JOSE — Despite facing top-seeded,
one-loss San Benito in the semifinals of the
Central Coast Section Division I tournament,
the Carlmont softball team was far from intim-
idated.
The Scots faced the Balers during a presea-
son tournament, dropping a 3-0 decision.
Going into Tuesday night’s game, the Scots
felt that small amount of familiarity might
prove beneficial.
Unfortunately for Scots, they did not face
San Benito ace Megan Sabbatini in that non-
league game. If they had, they might have
been a little more frightened because
Sabbatini is the real deal. The sophomore shut
down Carlmont, allowing just two infield hits
and a third runner to reach on an error, while
striking out 11 in a 5-0 San Benito win.
“Their pitcher kinda dominated,” said
Carlmont coach Jim Liggett. “That was the
best pitched game against us all year.”
It became clear early on the fifth-seeded
Scots (22-7) would have their hands full
against the No. 1-seeded Balers (28-1).
Carlmont broke up the perfect game bid in the
first inning when the Scots’ No. 2 hitter,
Taylor Yzaguirre, reached on an error. But
with two outs and Megan Hansen at the plate,
Yzaguirre was thrown out at second trying to
steal to end the inning.
In the bottom of the first, San Benito took
the lead for good — and it was a recurring
theme throughout the night. San Benito lead-
off hitter Samantha Puentes jump-started the
Balers’ offense all game long. She led off the
bottom of the first with a walk and streaked
around the bases on Brittney Hoff’s one-out
double to the fence in left-center field.
It was just one of four times Puentes

about it all we want. There is nothing we can do
about it.”
Luongo raised his stick in celebration as his
teammates jumped onto the ice. Blue confetti fell
from the roof as the sellout crowd chanted, “We
want the Cup.”
“I think when the puck went in, the goalie was
looking behind the net,” Bieksa said. “It was an
ugly goal, but one I will take.
“It’s fantastic. It’s unbelievable. To go to the
Stanley Cup final is a dream come true.”

Giants’nine-game,home winning streak over
By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Ricky Nolasco pitched
scoreless ball into the ninth inning and the Florida
Marlins quieted the streaking San Francisco
Giants with a 5-1 victory Tuesday night.
Gaby Sanchez had a three-run double and Mike
Stanton hit his 11th home run of the season to help
the Marlins snap the defending World Series
champions’ nine-game home winning streak. San
Francisco had won five straight overall to move
into first place in the NL West.
Omar Infante had three singles and Sanchez fin-
ished with three hits to chase Giants starter Matt
Cain (3-3) after six innings. Florida has won three
of its last four games.
Nolasco (4-0) loaded the bases with one out in
the ninth before Leo Nunez entered to get his
major league-best 18th save this season. Nolasco

Oakland ends six-game slide against Angels
By Greg Beacham
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANAHEIM — Guillermo Moscoso was an
unlikely shutdown starter. David DeJesus was an
even more improbable power source.
Together, they propelled the Oakland Athletics
to a skid-snapping win.
DeJesus hit two homers and drove in four runs,
Moscoso pitched six scoreless innings to win his
first major league start, and Oakland ended a six-
game losing streak with a 6-1 victory over the Los
Angeles Angels on Tuesday night.
DeJesus also had a ninth-inning RBI double in
a surprising burst of power from a veteran with
just two multihomer games in his career — both
in the past month. The longtime Kansas City out-
fielder laughed at his own outburst when he final-
ly had a chance to cool down from a workout
immediately after the game.

seven hits.
The Marlins didn’t waste a chance to shine out
West.
They were patient against Cain as he struggled
with his command early, giving up four runs on six
hits. He struck out four but tied his season high
with three walks, and the Marlins took advantage
of all the free passes.
Cain walked Hanley Ramirez and Logan
Morrison with two outs in the third to load the
bases. Sanchez followed with a bases-clearing
double to right-center, giving Florida a 3-0 lead.
Stanton sent the first pitch of the fourth inning
just over the center-field wall to put the Marlins
ahead 4-0. Andres Torres seemed to be in position
to make the catch, reaching up to snatch the ball
only to have his glove hit the padding. Torres
watched as the ball barely sailed over the 399-foot
sign on the wall.
A’s 6, Angels 1
“It’s really weird right now,” said DeJesus, who
had his first career two-homer game May 4. “I
don’t understand how it happens, but I’ll take it.”
DeJesus doubled his season homer total with a
second-inning solo shot and a two-run homer in
the fourth off Dan Haren (4-3), whose winless
streak reached seven starts since he began the sea-
son 4-0. DeJesus was 2 for 18 in his career against
Haren coming in.
“It shows that baseball is a crazy game,”
DeJesus said. “One year, it could be tough, but
you have great at-bats. Numbers can lie.”
After hitting just two homers in the past 11
games, Oakland got its first run on DeJesus’ full-
count blast. The A’s jumped to a 5-0 lead on his
first-pitch homer in the fourth.
“I’ve had his number for a long time now, and
That was more than enough support for
Nolasco.
The hard-throwing right-hander with the big

start. Torres had a leadoff double in the first and
advanced to third on a groundball two batters later

San Francisco didn’t come close to scoring
again until the ninth, when Aubrey Huff singled
and Cody Ross hit a double. Nolasco walked Mike
Fontenot before Nunez entered.
All the Giants could muster off the Marlins’
closer was a sacrifice fly from Miguel Tejada
before Emmanuel Burriss flied out to right to end
the game.
Nolasco challenged the quick-swinging Giants
by pounding the strike zone with a combination of
curves. He had innings of eight, nine and 10 pitch-
es in a performance that was simply dominant.
The Marlins added another run in the eighth
when Chris Coghlan had a leadoff double.
he got the best of me today,” Haren said. “He hit
two fastballs. I mean, I throw fastballs, but not too
many of them. I kind of got away from my game,
I guess, and threw too many fastballs.”
Josh Willingham hit a two-run double in the
third for the A’s, who had fallen into last place in
the AL West while scoring just 10 runs during
their six-game skid.
“After six losses in a row, we needed that kind
of game,” Oakland manager Bob Geren said.
“That’s the team that we can be.”
Moscoso (1-0) largely baffled the Angels while
picking up his first major league victory in his
Oakland debut, giving up three hits and never
allowing a runner to reach third. Moscoso made
brief appearances in the Texas Rangers’ bullpen
during the past two seasons, but has been a starter
for most of his minor-league career.
Moscoso was recalled from Triple-A
Sacramento earlier Tuesday to fill the rotation
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Ramirez bunted him over, and Coghlan scored
two batters later on reliever Guillermo Mota’s wild
pitch.
After three straight no-decisions, Nolasco
earned his first win since May 1 at Cincinnati. He
also threw a two-hit shutout at San Francisco on
Aug. 19, 2008.
NOTES: Giants LHP Barry Zito faced hitters
for the first time since going on the disabled list
April 17 with a sprained right foot. Between his

oblique muscle. The Venezuelan right-hander
walked three batters but never faced serious trou-
ble from the punchless Angels.
“I’m very happy with the job I did today, and
when the team has six losses, I’ve got a pretty big
responsibility,” Moscoso said. “I felt pretty nor-
mal. I’m pretty focused before a game.”
Haren yielded seven hits and a season-high five
runs over seven innings, getting soundly out-
pitched by the A’s newcomer. Although Haren
wasn’t sharp, the three-time All-Star again
received pathetic run support: The Angels have
scored seven total runs for Haren during the right-

“The starting pitchers have been walking a fine
line, that’s for sure. But I think it makes us better
pitchers, going out there and battling from Pitch
One.”

‘Big 3’ carry Heat over Bulls Warriors: West more
By Tim Reynolds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI — Dwyane Wade missed a

dunk in the first quarter. He didn’t
score in the second half. He was slow
at times, sluggish at others, barely a
factor for long stretches of the game.
That is, until it mattered most.
The Big Three is one win away from
playing for the NBA’s biggest prize,
and all three had a huge hand in putting
the Miami Heat on that doorstep.
LeBron James scored 35 points,
Chris Bosh added 22 and Wade perked
up to block as many shots — two — as
Chicago made in overtime, as the Heat
topped the Bulls 101-93 in a scintillat-
ing Game 4 of the Eastern Conference
finals on Tuesday night to take a 3-1
lead in the series.
“You could tell that neither team
wanted to lose,” Wade said. “Both
teams were clawing. If you’re a fan of
the game, this was a great basketball
game. ... This was will.”
Miami will go for the clincher
Thursday in Chicago, where the Heat
can wrap up their first finals trip since
2006.
“It’s one game away,” James said.
“We’re not taking anything for grant-
ed.”
Derrick Rose scored 23 points for
the Bulls, who got 20 apiece from Luol
Deng and Carlos Boozer. Chicago has
lost three straight games for the first
time this season, and afterward, the
league’s reigning MVP pointed the fin-
ger of blame at himself.
“It’s not over,” said Rose, who shot 8
of 27 and turned the ball over seven
times.
Still, some doubt may be creeping
in. Chicago had its chances, and knew
it, but was unable to take advantage of
a largely off night by Wade. Rose was
guarded in the game’s biggest minutes
by James, and the MVP past had the
upper hand against the MVP present.
“It’s extremely hard,” Rose
acknowledged, “when a 6-8 guy can
easily defend you.”
The Heat were down by 11 early, led
for only 4 1/2 minutes in the third and

Heat’s 101-93 win over Chicago.
fourth quarters, and had Wade stuck on
eight points from late in the second
quarter until past the midpoint of over-
time.
Somehow, it wasn’t a problem. A
sleep-deprived Mike Miller — whose
wife delivered a baby last week —
scored 12 points and made plenty of
key defensive plays to help Miami
outscore Chicago by a whopping 36
points with him on the floor. Udonis
Haslem missed all five of his shots, and
he was still a plus-25 in his 33 minutes
off the bench.
And the stars, well, were stars.
“We know offensively, at times, we
REUTERS
have rough stretches,” James said.
“But we give ourselves chances to win
every game because we defend.”
James was 11 for 26 from the field
and 13 for 13 — his best playoff show-
ing ever — from the foul line. Bosh
was aggressive again, making 10 of his
11 free throws. Miami made its last 24
straight from the stripe, and the
defense was again the biggest key of
all.
“Defense is the reason that we’re
here,” Bosh said. “Defense is the rea-
son that we win every game. And
defense is the reason why we have a
chance of winning Game 5.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The hiring
of Jerry West as an adviser and a
member of the Golden State
Warriors’ executive board has been
described as adding another voice to
the room for a franchise looking to
reverse a run of ineptitude.
West brings much more than a
voice to a downtrodden franchise.
He has a pedigree that includes titles
as a player and executive and a
proven ability to build champi-
onship teams.
But his role with the Warriors will
be different from the ones he had
while running basketball operations
for the Los Angeles Lakers and
Memphis Grizzlies. Larry Riley is
already in place as general manager
and the team hired agent Bob Myers
in April to be the assistant general
manager and GM in waiting.
“I would hope that I will have a
voice, but I will not make that final
decision,” West said Tuesday at his
introductory news conference. “I
don’t want to be the final decision-
maker. I don’t think it’s fair to the
people in place. That was my
biggest reservation coming here. I
didn’t want to come here and feel I
would overshadow Larry and Bob.”
Instead West will advise owners
Joe Lacob and Peter Guber, who
bought the team last year for a
record $450 million, as one of the
members of the team’s executive
board. West also received an owner-
ship stake in the organization.
The Hall of Famer was a 14-time
All-Star with the Los Angeles
Lakers and the inspiration for the
NBA’s logo. He also spent 18 sea-
sons as the Lakers’ general manager
and five years in Memphis’ front
office, winning four NBA titles with
Los Angeles, helping the Grizzlies
make their first three playoff appear-
ances, and winning two executive of
the year awards.
“Jerry’s at the point in his career
where he’s done it all,” Lacob said.
“There’s nobody who has done what
he’s done in his career. I couldn’t be
more excited to have someone with
that kind of experience and integrity
to help build this thing into a great
championship organization.”
West said he is not merely a “fig-
urehead” in the organization and
will spend as much time in Oakland
with the team as needed while
retaining his home in Los Angeles.
He will also freely voice his opin-
ions, whether they are popular or
not.
“I would tell you I’m no shrinking
violet. I’m not,” he said. “If you
don’t want my opinion don’t ask. I
would hope our conversation would
stimulate and get everybody think-
ing about what’s in the best interest
of this team.”
Lacob said he would take any sug-
gestion from West very seriously but
hoped that ultimately there will be
agreement on most major decisions.
“At the end of the day it’s not
going to be one or the other because
we have a lot of good, smart people
in the room we’ll be able to come to
a team-based consensus conclu-
sion,” Lacob said. “If we have com-
plete dichotomy in the room, then
someone will have to make the call.”
That person ultimately will be
Lacob.
West said he was attracted to the
Warriors because of the risk-taking
nature of Lacob and Guber. He said
success in the NBA is built on suc-
cessfully taking risks.
One the Warriors might need to
make this offseason is trading one
member of their talented, yet under-
sized, backcourt of Monta Ellis and
Stephen Curry. West said he believes
most of the pieces are in place to
make the Warriors a playoff team,

NBA players file charge against league

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The NBA players’
association filed an unfair labor charge
against the league Tuesday with the
National Labor Relations Board, a move
it hopes could block a lockout it feels
owners want.
The union says the NBA hasn’t bar-
gained in good faith, has made financial
demands without offering concessions
to the players, and has bypassed the
union to deal directly with players.
The charge filed with Region 2 of the
NLRB seeks “an injunction against the
NBA’s unlawful bargaining practices
and its unlawful lockout threat.”
The NBA and players are trying to
reach a deal for a new collective bar-
gaining agreement before the June 30
expiration of the current one. They plan
to meet early next month during the
NBA finals, but remain far apart on
major financial issues and a work stop-
page remains a possibility.
Though both sides insist they realize
the importance of negotiating a deal
themselves without it reaching the
courts, as the NFL’s labor situation has,
the union hopes the charge could give
them legal backing if bargaining fails.
The NBA recently sent a second pro-
posal for a new CBA to the players, who
object to the economic changes the
league says it needs.
“There is no merit to the charge filed
today by the players association with the
National Labor Relations Board, as we
have complied — and will continue to
comply — with all of our obligations
under the federal labor laws,” NBA
spokesman Mike Bass said. “It will not
distract us from our efforts to negotiate
in good faith a new collective bargaining
agreement with the players association.”

Big,small schools affected by report
By Michael Marot
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA
has put Connecticut on notice —
improve in the classroom or face
tougher penalties.
The Huskies men’s basketball
team was one of six BCS teams
sanctioned Tuesday for sub-par
marks in the NCAA’s annual
Academic Progress Rates report. the
Associated Press reported last week
that UConn will lose two scholar-
ships for the upcoming season
because of the APR report.
And if the grades don’t get better,
the Huskies’ punishment could get
worse.
“We are all disappointed in our
academic performance and going
forward we are going to attack this
in the only way I know how, and
that is to work as hard as possible to
get better every day,” coach Jim
Calhoun said in a statement. “I do
know that over the past year, we
have made improvements and are
moving in the right direction.”
To avoid losing more scholarships
or practice time, UConn will have to
prove it. And the Huskies weren’t
the only school getting hit Tuesday.
Southern University in Baton
Rouge, La., became the first school
to face postseason bans in two pro-
grams — men’s basketball and foot-
ball — because of academics.

Nadal edges Isner, Clijsters wins at French Open
By Chris Lehourites
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — Rafael Nadal excelled
when he needed to most, winning the
final two sets against John Isner on
Tuesday to advance to the second
round at the French Open with a 6-4,
6-7 (2), 6-7 (2), 6-2, 6-4 victory.
The five-time champion, who
improved to 39-1 at Roland Garros,
played a five-set match at Roland
Garros for the first time in seven vis-
its.
“Tough, tough moments for me,”
Nadal said. “I played too nervous, in
my opinion.”
Nadal last lost a set at the French
Open in 2009, when he was eliminat-
ed by Robin Soderling in the fourth
performance of student-athletes on
every Division I team. Teams scor-
ing below the 925 cutline in one
year can face immediate penalties.
Those scoring below 900 or with
low scores for several years face
tougher historical sanctions.
This year’s data covers 2006-07
through 2009-10. A perfect score is
1,000.
The average APR number for all
athletes jumped three points to 970
in the latest report. Baseball (959)
and men’s basketball players (945)
each had a five-point increase while
the football score (946) improved
by two points.
But the improvement was tem-
pered by two things — a record
eight teams receiving postseason
bans and the punishment of a promi-
nent national champion that went
before the NCAA infractions com-
mittee last year and now has seen a
one-year drop from 930 to 893 in
the classroom.
“It is disappointing to see that
drop at UConn,” said Emmert, who
once served as Connecticut’s chan-
cellor. “We certainly hope it’s a one-
year drop.”
Since postseason bans became
part of the penalty structure in 2008,
only four teams have received the
punishment.
This year’s group consists of
men’s basketball teams at Cal State-
Northridge, Chicago State,
Grambling, Louisiana-Monroe and
round. He had
never previously
dropped a set in
the first or second
round.
The top-seeded
Nadal is trying to
equal Bjorn
Borg’s record of
Rafael Nadal six French Open
titles.
Also advancing to the second
round were Australian Open finalists
Andy Murray and Li Na, as well as
Maria Sharapova, Kim Clijsters and
two-time French Open finalist Robin
Soderling.
Nadal came into the tournament
after losing to Novak Djokovic on
clay in finals in Rome and Madrid.
SPORTS
Southern, and football teams at
Idaho State, Southern and Jackson
State, Walter Payton’s alma mater.
No team has ever been given the
harshest penalty, a one-year mem-
bership restriction.
The NCAA handed out 58 penal-
ties this year to schools that have
had consistently poor showings over
more than one year. These harshest
penalties — postseason bans, prac-
tice reductions or guaranteed schol-
arship cuts — affected only one
BCS conference team: Arkansas,
which will lose one scholarship in
men’s basketball.
Five other BCS teams will lose
scholarships only if an equal num-
ber of academically ineligible play-
ers leave school. Football teams at
Maryland and Louisville could lose
up to three scholarships. Men’s bas-
ketball teams at Georgia Tech and
LSU could each lose one.
A seventh BCS team, Southern
Cal men’s basketball, fell below the
cutline at 912, but was not penal-
ized.
UConn has already said it will
lose both its scholarships because
two players have left the school in
poor academic standing. The school
posted the second-lowest score of
any BCS team in the three major
sports: football, men’s basketball
and women’s basketball. Arkansas’
men’s basketball team had an 892.
Butler, the two-time national run-
ner-up, had a perfect 1,000.
But the top-ranked Spaniard is still
considered by many to be the favorite
at Roland Garros.
Clijsters won her first match at the
French Open in five years, easily
defeating Anastasiya Yakimova 6-2,
6-3. Clijsters played her first match in
two months after being sidelined with
shoulder, wrist and ankle injuries.
She hasn’t played in the French
Open because of injuries and a sab-
batical from tennis to get married and
have a daughter.
Sharapova, who was coming off the
biggest clay-court title of her career,
rolled into the second round by beat-
ing Mirjana Lucic of Croatia 6-3, 6-0.

Woods expects to
play in U.S.Open
By Dan Gelston
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. —
Tiger Woods says he’ll be ready to go
for the U.S. Open.
Good thing for Woods there’s time
to get healthy.
The golfing great hasn’t hit a ball in
about two weeks. Woods needs crutch-
es and a walking boot for relief on his
aching left leg. He won’t even start leg
training until the end of next week.
But Woods expects to tee off at the
U.S. Open June 16-19 at
Congressional Country Club in
Bethesda, Md.
“You just play through these things,”
Woods said. “There’s a difference
between being in pain and being
injured.”
That’s why Woods has shut himself
down to prepare for the major.
Woods is bothered by pain in his left
knee, left Achilles’ tendon, tightening
in his calf, and has a sore lower back.
He says doctors have not mentioned
leg surgery. But he doubts he’ll play
the Memorial next week in Dublin,
Ohio.
Woods said he’ll start training by the
end of next week. How his leg
responds will determine when he can
Slam title she has

“If you feel
pressure, it’s part
of the business.
It’s part of the
sport,” Sharapova
said of the expec-
tations placed on
Kim Clijsters her. “That means
there’s some-
thing on the line. That means you
want it bad. It’s how you handle it.
“Without pressure, what’s the sport
about? It’s how you really handle the
situation.”
Against Lucic on center court,
Sharapova was not troubled. She won
nine straight games to finish the
match and never faced a break point.
THE DAILY JOURNAL
start hitting balls
again — all but
ruling out the
Memorial.
“I’ve had four
surgeries on it,”
Woods said.
“Obviously, it’s
not what it was
Tiger Woods when I was lit-
tle.”
That means Woods would go to the
U.S. Open with little competition,
although this is nothing new for him.
In 2008, he had arthroscopic surgery
after the Masters and didn’t play again
until the U.S. Open. Doctors discov-
ered a double stress fracture in his left
tibia in the weeks before the major.
Going against his doctor’s advice,
Woods not only played the U.S. Open,
he won it at Torrey Pines in a 19-hole
playoff.
Now, he says his left leg is not near-
ly as bad as it was then.
His golf, however, is a different
story.
In the 11 tournaments Woods played
before the U.S. Open, he won eight
times, was runner-up twice and didn’t
finish out of the top five. In the 11 tour-
naments before this U.S. Open, he has
only five finishes in the top 10.
Sharapova, who will face French
wild card Caroline Garcia, won the
title at Wimbledon in 2004, the U.S.
Open in 2006 and the Australian
Open in 2008.
The sixth-seeded Li, who became
the first Chinese player to reach a
Grand Slam final, dominated at times
and struggled at times in her 6-3, 6-7
(6), 6-3 win over Barbora Zahlavova
Strycova of the Czech Republic.
But first on Court Philippe Chatrier,
an emotional Virginie Razzano
played despite the death of her fiance
and coach eight days ago. The
Frenchwoman, playing with a black
ribbon on her shirt, lost to 24th-seed-
ed Jarmila Gajdosova of Australia 6-
3, 6-1.

reached base — and one of four times she
would score on the night.
Puentes and Hoff teamed up again in the
third. Puentes walked, stole second and came
home on Hoff’s single to center. Puentes sin-
gled, stole a base and scored in the Balers’
two-run fifth, and then punctuated the game
with an opposite-field, inside-the-park home
run to the fence in left field to put San Benito
up 5-0 in the sixth.
Sabbatini, meanwhile, was mowing down
the Carlmont batters. After Yzaguirre reached
in the first, Sabbatini retired the next nine bat-
ters in a row before Gabriella Pons broke up
the no-hitter in the fourth with a two-out,
infield hit into the hole at second base, just

During practice following the PAL champi-
onships, Gilmore said Taufahema was sweep-
ing the shot put ring when his coach
approached him with the inquiry of how he
wanted to go about training for two events at
CCS. “I said, ‘Sione, I wanted to ask you, what
are your thoughts about the shot and disc?’ and
he goes, ‘I want to give it to Jamison.’
‘What do you mean?’
‘I want Jamison to take my place in the dis-
cus.’
And I said, ‘Are you sure?’
And he goes, ‘Yeah.’
I asked, ‘Is this your idea or did someone else
coach you or is this someone else’s idea?’ He
said, ‘Coach, I want him to be in the discus.
He’s my friend. He’s my teammate, and I want
to go to CCS with him.’”
MENLO
Continued from page 11
When he returned to the mound to start the
sixth inning, it was a brand new ballgame.
According to Bruml, that’s precisely how he
viewed it.
“At that point it was a 0-0 ballgame,” Bruml
said. “[It was like] we were getting out there to
start a ballgame and it’s the first pitch … so
that’s how I approached it.”
Early in the game, nothing seemed to be going
Menlo’s way. Carmel had Avis on the ropes right
off the bat, when Padres leadoff hitter Devin
Pearson doubled on the first pitch he saw.
Carmel scored three times in the first, then
SPORTS
beating the throw to first.
Pinch hitter Missy Pekarek was the only
Carlmont batter to reach base, when she also
beat out an infield hit in the fifth.
The rest of the game saw a lot of swings and
misses by the Scots.
“I thought we could play with [San
Benito],” Liggett said. “It’s hard to play with
them if you can’t get hits. [Sabbatini] threw it
by us and our kids were going for her rise
ball.”
The final score might have been worse if not
for the defensive prowess of Carlmont center
fielder Janelle Shiozaki. A junior and three-
year varsity starter, Shiozaki chased down two
fly balls to deep center field, and then hustled
in to make a sliding catch of a fly ball to shal-
low center.
“Janelle had one of her best games defen-
sively (of the year),” Liggett said. “Today, she
was special. She has great closing speed.”
Just then, Hall was making his way down to
the throwing ring, unaware of the gift he had
just been given by his teammate.
“Jamison, I want to let you know something,”
Gilmore said.
“What’s that?” asked Hall.
“You’re going to compete in the discus at the
CCS.”
“How’s that?” asked a surprised Hall.
“I told you, if someone steps out, you’re the
first alternate, you go in. And someone stepped
out.”
“Well, who stepped out?” Hall asked.
“Sione. Sione is giving you his spot.”
“Bu—”
Gilmore interrupted.
“You got nothing to say to me, Jamison. If
you have something to say, you go see your
friend over there in the ring.”
Hall made the walk over to a sweeping
Taufahema. He extended his hand out to
Taufahema and said, “Thank you.” That’s all he
says, and Sione picked his head up, looked
Jamison in the eye and said, “No, no, no. Thank
added two in the third, and three in the fifth.
Meanwhile, Knight was dazzling on the mound
for the Padres, setting down the first ten batters
he faced in order.
But Menlo saw some life in the fifth, scoring
a pair of unearned runs with two out and two on,
when Carmel’s third baseman booted a sharp
two-hopper off the bat of Phillip Anderson. The
miscue accounted for Menlo’s first two runs, and
was a foreshadowing of Carmel’s disastrous
defensive inning to follow.
“They opened the door and we made the
plays,” Schoof said.
Menlo did manage to tie the game by virtue of
a good old-fashioned clutch hit. While Avis had
a forgettable day on the mound — Menlo’s ace
surrendered eight runs over 4 1/3 innings — he
made the Padres pay for their defensive free-for-
all in the sixth by cranking a two-out, two-run
Carlmont second baseman Megan Hansen throws to first during the Scots’ 5-0 loss to San
Benito in the CCS Division I semifinals.
you. Because if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be
here. You’ve been my inspiration to do as well
as I have the whole year. And we’re family,
we’re brothers, and we have to go together.”
Gilmore said they exchanged a hug and then
the more manlier chest bump.
So, for his efforts, or perhaps more fittingly,
his effortless choice, Taufahema is the Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.
“Jamison was the first person to convince me
to come back to track,” Taufahema said.
“Without him, I wouldn’t have even gone to
CCS. At first, I didn’t want to (come back to
track), but just looking at Jamison, and how he
wanted me to come back and try doing field
events, I had to. Jamison is like a best friend to
me.”
“The throwers are almost like the [unwanted]
child (of track and field),” Gilmore said. “There
are a lot of fields where the disc and the shot
ring are 75 yards away from the track. So it’s
almost like a team within a team, a sub-family,
sub-group. It makes for an interesting dynamic
in the group.”
double to tie it.
“That’s why we play baseball, for moments
like that,” Avis said.
The score remained tied 8-8 until the ninth.
After Menlo loaded the bases with no outs,
Mikey Diekroeger lifted a sacrifice fly to score
Anderson with what proved to be the winning
run.
“It’s a situation I wanted to be in because I
knew I just had to put the ball in the outfield,”
Diekroeger said. “My teammates were telling
me, ‘It’s first-pitch fastball with this guy.’ So I
just told myself if he threw me a first-pitch fast-
ball, I was going to hammer it to the outfield.”
As a freshman, Diekroeger has solidified him-
self as a bona fide varsity starter. This, after he
started the season not knowing if he’d even
make the varsity cut. He started baseball season
late, after making the transition from frosh-soph

Hall and Taufahema make for an interesting
tandem. In Taufahema, Gilmore said, you find a
lot of unpolished talent that simply oozes out
and leads him to be success. Hall doesn’t pos-
sess as much talent, but according to Gilmore,
you won’t find a harder worker.
“[Hall is] the hardest-working kid I have on
the team,” Gilmore said. “He’s one of the more
exemplary athletes we have on the team. He’s
the kind of kid where you say, ‘We want all our
kids to work like this guy.’ It’s a big deal. I real-
ly think what Sione did was a really big deal.
But that’s who that kid is. He is that kid. He’s
just a real special kid. As human beings, you’re
not going to find anyone better.”
Taufahema and Hall proceeded to participate
in the CCS qualifier last weekend in Gilroy and
both failed to reach this Saturday’s final. But

experience is one that is immeasurable — one

When Menlo’s varsity basketball team played
into the quarterfinals of CCS, however, Schoof
needed bodies to fill out the varsity squad. So
after Diekroeger’s first practice, he got the word
he’d be donning the varsity uniform.
“I knew I had a chance to be a part of a cham-

was happy to be a part of it.”

Coffee drinkers keep chugging,as prices rise
By Christina Rexrode
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — People are paying
more to fuel up these days — on coffee.
Coffee price increases have outpaced
even the hike in gasoline prices the past
year. A one-pound can of ground coffee
sold for $5.10 in April, up 40 percent
from $3.64 the year before, according to
the Department of Labor. By compari-
son, a gallon of regular gasoline cost
$3.83 on average on Tuesday, up 37 per-
cent from a year earlier.
And while fuel prices are expected to
stabilize, coffee increases could contin-
ue for some time because the prices that
coffee companies pay for unroasted
beans are still climbing — fast. Coffee
futures were trading for $2.61 per pound
Tuesday, roughly double a year earlier.
J.M. Smucker Co., the maker of gro-
cery store stalwart Folgers and of pack-
aged varieties of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee,
said Tuesday that it is raising prices of
most of its U.S. coffee products by 11
percent, its fourth increase in a year.
Kraft Foods Inc., Peet’s Coffee and Tea
Inc., and Starbucks Corp. also recently
hiked their prices for brewed and pack-
aged coffee.
But the drink remains essential to
many.
Eboney and Tyson Owens say they’ve
noticed higher coffee prices. The couple

“I’m a Starbucks fan, I swear by it,”
Eboney Owens, 32, said during a recent
grocery trip in Portland, Ore.
However, if something else is on sale
or has a coupon available, she’ll switch.
“We won’t go bottom of the barrel,
though,” Tyson Owens, 31, added.
Overall coffee crops increased 8 per-
cent last year, according to the

other countries. But this year, some major exporters, includ-
ing Indonesia, are suffering from smaller crops because of
drought, flooding or other inclement weather, which is affect-
ing prices. The rise in coffee prices also has roots in the eco-
nomic growth of China, where an upwardly mobile work
force is fueling demand.
Unlike many other discretionary items, coffee usually
emerges from a recession relatively unscathed, economists
say. That’s because when money is tight, people may buy
cheaper brands of coffee, but they won’t give it up complete-
ly. Americans consumed 21.7 million 60-kilogram bags of
coffee in 2008, during the depths of the recession, up from 21
million the year before, according to the ICO. That’s nearly
2.9 billion pounds of coffee. Coffee is part of a bigger story
about rising prices for household staples as diverse as food,
clothing, diapers and batteries.

A fuss-free and delicious composed salad
W
hen it comes to salads, I’m not
big fan of the composed variety.
As in, fussy recipes that call for
anything beyond dumping a bunch of produce
in a bowl.
But composed salads — those in which the
ingredients are arranged rather than tossed —
are among the most attractive. They also often
do a better job of letting each ingredient
shine. So I was willing to consider trying one
on two conditions — the flavors really were
phenomenal and the recipe was still mostly
easy.
To ensure the former, I went with a classic
flavor combination — apples, blue cheese,
walnuts and lemon juice. For the latter, I made
sure that even if the ingredients were
arranged, the recipe wasn’t fussy enough to
require any particular arrangement. In other
words, do it as you see fit.
For deeper flavors, I briefly roasted the
apples and carrots. To keep it simple, I used
purchased shredded carrots and limited the
cutting to just slicing the apples in half. Buy

nuts, and the rest of this salad comes together

PROTEST
Continued from page 1
tion of ever learning about the work of
Vincent van Gogh or visiting an aquari-
um to see the world under the sea up
close rather than just reading about it in
books. As the state struggles to make
education a focus, California has fallen
to the bottom nationally in both funding
and often achievement. Parents are
increasingly asked to dig deeper in their
pockets to keep the minimum funding.
Yesterday, more than 20 protests were
held statewide in hopes of raising aware-
ness of what parents see as a problemat-
ic trend of not investing in the future
leaders. Burlingame, Redwood City and
Millbrae each participated with a “Wake
Up California!” rally as part of a grass-
roots, parent-led campaign by Educate
Our State.
The Burlingame Elementary School
District, for example, has cut about $1.2
million from its $20 million budget over
the last three years, said Trustee Davina
Drabkin. True, the district is in better
shape than many others around the state
and often finds community support, but
Drabkin was clear that the minimum is
not enough.
“Sure, we can provide a basic educa-
tion, which is getting more and more
basic. ... That is not enough. We want
[students] to have an excellent educa-
tion,” she said to a crowd of about 60
people gathered outside Burlingame
City Hall Tuesday morning.
Burlingame is the prime example of a
community in which people have
opened their pocket books for education.
In March, for example, the
Burlingame Elementary School District
Board of Trustees set a goal of cutting
$800,000 in March. GAME ON!, a last-
minute campaign to raise funds for the
cause, has since contributed $200,000.
That’s on top of a $300,000 contribution

pulled over to make a call, much as he
had in the same location several times
before. After a breathalyzer indicated a
blood alcohol content of .08, Klein was
booked into First Chance, the county’s
jail alternative for DUI suspects, and
later released after giving a blood sam-
ple.
Both the blood and breath tests have a
variance of .02 and while they gave the
officer good cause for arrest it was not
sufficient for trial in the absence of other
solid evidence, Wagstaffe said.
Klein declined yesterday to say how
much he imbibed short of “very, very lit-
tle” but said he also hadn’t eaten in close
to two days.
Klein said he was happy to have his
legal woes behind him and hopes the
council’s stalemate keeps the door open
to be mayor.
“The council punted and I reserve the
right to change my mind,” Klein said.
His decision Monday to put the city’s
best interests ahead of his life-long
dream to be mayor shows why he’s fit to

in Burlingame in difficult economic
times.
“I have great confidence that Chief
Wood’s leadership will continue and
even elevate the level of excellence in
service provided by the Burlingame
Police Department. I am very grateful to
Ed and all of the police command staff
who stepped forward to cover addition-
al duties during the past 17 months,”
Nantell wrote in a press release.
Burlingame police officers, who are
supportive of the appointment, called for
Wood to be named chief about a year ago.
from the Burlingame Community for
Education Foundation. Still, the district
is looking at $300,000 in needed reduc-
tions that could come in a loss of staff
development and other services.
Parent Michele Popper noted the lack
in 21st century technology offerings for
local students, which is a problem when
preparing students for future employ-
ment needs.
Parents rallied starting at 7:30 a.m. in
downtown Redwood City, which has
seen some of the most drastic cuts in our
county recently.
Anneke Cole, a mother of two in the
Redwood City Elementary School
District, notices a difference in what was
offered to her daughter, a fifth grader,
and her son who is now in second grade.
Cole’s daughter had a class size of 20
while her son is in a class of 30. She
watches as teachers struggle to deal with
the spectrum of student levels of
achievement.
“I worry about parents coming into the
school with a 5-year-old. I personally
think the teachers do an amazing job, but
we keep pushing the limits,” she said.
Disappointments aren’t just happening
for new families. Redwood City schools
traditionally offered instrumental music
in fifth grade. Cole’s daughter planned to
learn the flute, which her grandmother
previously played. This year, the access
to music wasn’t made available to fifth
graders. Cole is lucky, she can afford to
offer outside music lessons for her
daughter, but she recognizes that’s
unique.
Redwood City has seen numerous
changes in recent years like shorter
school years, larger class sizes, pay cuts
and less access to programs like physical
education. Further cuts are expected for
the coming year.
In the Millbrae Elementary School
District, the impact of cuts has been
painful, said parent Patty Koel.
“Millbrae is already severely disad-
vantaged by inequities in our state fund-
head the council, he said.
At Monday night’s meeting, the coun-
cil struggled with both the naming of
mayor and also filling Ahmad’s vacancy.
While all agreed to appoint rather than
leave it empty until the November elec-
tion, the question was how. Councilman
Matt Grocott wanted former mayor Tom
Davids appointed outright and named
mayor while the others said a transparent
application process is necessary. The
council will choose from applicants at a
special June 6 meeting at which it will
also name the mayor.
At the time, Burlingame was consid-
ering naming San Mateo Deputy Police
Chief Mike Callagy as its interim
police chief, a move which would have
been a first step in merging the two
departments. The council instead opted
for further study. Results released last
month found sharing police dispatch
services offered the highest savings
while a complete merger looks unlike-
ly.
Burlingame police Officer Jim
Hutchings, who serves as president for
the Burlingame Police Officers
Association, said Wood has the full sup-
port of the Burlingame police.
Hutchings added employees like and
respect Wood and have known for some
time he was the kind of man who should

ing formulas. Millbrae schools have
already increased their class size by 50
percent for Kindergarten through third
grade (from 20 to 30 per class). We’ve
shortened the length of our school day,
and eliminated five school days per year
altogether,” she said.
That’s the beginning of the losses as
access to aides, specialists and the
GATE summer program and music has
also diminished.
“The prospect of further staff reduc-
tions is unfathomable at this point and
yet the Millbrae School District is forced
to evaluate plans to eliminate at least
another eight and a half full-time teach-
ers and three and a half more full-time
supporting staff members, if a budget
with adequate funding for K-12 public
education is not passed,” said Koel, who
helped organize the Millbrae evening
rally.
Like most school districts, the
Millbrae Elementary School District is
anticipating to lose at least $349 per stu-
dent, which would be a loss of $780,000,
according to a staff report by interim
chief business officials Michele Dodge
and Paul Disario. That could mean fur-
ther increased class sizes.
All three cities held the rallies as part
of a larger state-wide effort put together
from Educate Our State, a Bay Area-
based grassroots effort by parents.
Crystal Brown, a San Francisco parent
and one of the founders, explained the
idea came when parents were made
aware of plans to cut an additional 20
percent from an already stretched budg-
et. The parents realized how much was
already being paid for through fundrais-
ing — art, physical education, music,
field trips — and noted something need-
ed to change. A town hall style meeting
resulted in interest from parents all over
the state who were similarly frustrated.
From their efforts, Educate Our State
was started in hopes of becoming a par-
enting-based lobbying group advocating
for education reform.
At the meeting, Grocott said he had
qualms about naming Klein mayor even
before the alleged DUI because it meant
the vice mayor would either hold the
position for a mere six months until the
next rotation or an unprecedented 18
months.
Klein ran unopposed and was elected
to the council in 2009.
Royce said he is open to Klein being
mayor and has received numerous calls
and emails expressing support.
“I have always been a proponent of
sooner versus later and believe that Mr.
Klein has every skill, trust and citizen
support to take over the reins of mayor-
ship,” Royce said in an email.
Grassilli said he was glad Klein no
longer has a legal cloud over his head
and looks forward to having five people
on the council again to choose a mayor
no matter who it is. Klein’s withdrawal
was the right move Monday and there
may be no reason why he can’t still be
mayor, Grassilli said.
“If we didn’t know what we know,
what difference would there be?”
Grassilli said.
