Although Assemblyman Rich
Gordon, D-Menlo Park, currently
serves residents in District 21, the
seat he is campaigning for now is
called District 24 due to redistrict-
ing.
Barely 16 months into office,
Gordon is now having to take his
campaign message into Sunnyvale,
Mountain View and Half Moon Bay
on the coast, areas he does not cur-
rently represent. The seat loses San
Carlos, Redwood City, Monte
Sereno, Los Gatos and parts of the
Almaden Valley in San Jose with
redistricting.
While Gordon might be well-
known in Half Moon Bay and
Pescadero, having served on the San
Mateo County Board of Supervisors
for 13 years representing the area,
he is not so well-known in
Mountain View or Sunnyvale, cities
he has started to take his campaign
message to now.
Gordon has three challengers in
the race, Mountain View resident

Whether to change the school
assignments of 47 San Mateo homes
a move that could impact four
districts nancially will be decid-
ed in a special all-mail election
Tuesday.
Last summer, Mark Bendick sub-
mitted a neighborhood petition to
change the school assignments for
the homes on Fairmont Drive.
Currently, students are zoned to
attend Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary and Sequoia Union
High school districts. Under the pro-
posal, students would instead attend
the San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary and San Mateo Union
High school districts. In October,
the San Mateo County Committee
on School District Organization
gave a preliminary OK to the plans.
Only one district, San Mateo-
Foster City, favored the move.
Belmont-Redwood Shores and
Sequoia are both opposed while San
Mateo Union has decided to stay
neutral. Since all four districts were
not OK with the change, it went to a
special election of 77 voters. If

Those who live around Lincoln
Elementary School who have a bas-

Fond, who is often joined by his
little brother Noah Fond, has been
doing lots of fundraising lately.
Door-to-door, Fond has been meet-
ing his neighbors in hopes of getting
pledges for schools annual Walk-A-

afternoon from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Fond has a strategy of talking to
neighbors who dont have children.
Thats why he scopes out the homes

Fond is on a mission. The third
grader brought in the most dona-
tions last year for the event, over
$1,000. He plans to beat that this
year, which he already has by rais-
ing $1,800 in pledge. His original
goal was $1,500. Having surpassed
that, his eyes are set on hitting
$2,000 in donations.

George Lindsey, known
as TVs Goober Pyle, dies
NASHVILLE, Tenn. George
Lindsey, who made a TV career as a
grinning service station attendant named
Goober on The Andy Grifth Show
and Hee Haw, has died. He was 83.
The Marshall-Donnelly-Combs
Funeral Home in Nashville said Lindsay
died early Sunday morning after a brief
illness.
Lindsey was the beanie-wearing
Goober on The Andy Grifth Show
from 1964 to 1968 and its successor,
Mayberry RFD, from 1968 to 1971.
He played the same
jovial character
on Hee
Haw from
1971 until it
went out of
production
in 1993.
Ameri ca
has grown
up with
me, Lindsey said in an Associated Press
interview in 1985. Goober is every
man; everyone nds something to like
about ol Goober.
He joined The Andy Grifth Show
in 1964 when Jim Nabors, portraying
Gomer Pyle, left the program. Goober
Pyle, who had been mentioned on the
show as Gomers cousin, replaced him.
At that time, we were the best acting
ensemble on TV, Lindsey once told an
interviewer. The scripts were terric.
Andy is the best script constructionist
Ive ever been involved with. And you
have to lift your acting level up to his;
hes awfully good.
In a statement released through the
funeral home, Griffith said, George
Lindsey was my friend. I had great
respect for his talent and his human spir-
it. In recent years, we spoke often by
telephone. Our last conversation was a
few days ago ... I am happy to say that as
we found ourselves in our eighties, we
were not afraid to say, I love you. That
was the last thing George and I had to
say to each other. I love you.
Although he was best known as
Goober, Lindsey had other roles during
a long TV career. Earlier, he often was
a heavy and once shot Matt Dillon
on Gunsmoke.
His other TV credits included roles
on MASH, The Wonderful
World of Disney, CHIPs, The
Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour,
The Real McCoys, Rieman,
The Alfred Hitchcock Hour,
Twilight Zone and Love American
Style.
Reecting on his career, he said in
1985: Theres a residual effect of
knowing Ive made America laugh. Im
not the only one, but Ive contributed
something.
He had movie roles, too, appearing in
Cannonball Run II and Take This Job
and Shove It. His voice was used in ani-
mated Walt Disney features including
The Aristocats, The Rescuers and
Robin Hood.
Lindsey was born in Jasper, Ala., the
son of a butcher. He received a bachelor
of science degree from Florence State
Teachers College (now the University of
North Alabama) in 1952 after majoring
in physical education and biology and
playing quarterback on the football
team.
After spending three years in the Air
Force, he worked one year as a high
school baseball and basketball coach
and history teacher near Huntsville, Ala.
In 1956, he attended the American
Theatre Wing in New York City and
began his professional career on
Broadway, appearing in the musicals
All American and Wonderful Town.
He moved to Hollywood in the early
1960s and then to Nashville in the early
1990s.
Theres no place in the United States
I can go that they dont know me. They
may not know me, but they know the
character, he told The Tennessean in
1980.

D
o you remember the Tin Lizzie? I
dont remember the Model T, but I
have fond memories of the Model A.
It was in a Model A that I drove a car for the
rst time.
I lived in a city in the Midwest, but I worked
on a farm at times. I was only 9 years old. The
farmer and I were out in a eld and he told me
to get behind the wheel and drive. Wow. My
legs barely touched the accelerator on the
oor and I could hardly see over the front of
the engine panel. I started out and killed the
engine. Start it again, he said, and I did. We
were in a formally plowed eld and the Tin
Lizzie bounced up and down until I lost track
of what I was doing. It was time to quit any-
way because I had gotten to the next fence
post we were to x. It was a hell of -an expe-
rience for a 9-year-old and Ive never forgot-
ten it.
Ford built his rst Model T in 1908. He had
failed at two businesses (or was pushed out as
he would like to say later in life) but this new
business, called the Henry Ford Company,
was to be his successful adventure. Ford was-
nt the only one building cars in the early
1900s. Ransom E. Olds had started his com-
pany in 1897 and was selling the Oldsmobile
like hotcakes. His assembly line was the
secret of his success. In 1899, James Ward
Packard cars was selling OK and, in 1901, the
Pierce-Arrow hit the markets. The Piece-
Arrow was a luxury car and its market was
limited to wealthy people. Studebaker was
toying around with electric cars but became
very successful in 1904 when he developed a
good gasoline engine. The electric car had
been developed earlier, but lack of proper bat-
teries and other factors doomed their sales.
However, many of the inventions that led to a
superior gasoline automobile relied on knowl-
edge of electric motors. The windshield
wipers could be run by electric motors and the
starter became an important supplement to the
automobile, electric lights, battery to start, etc.
Many times, something can be invented but
it doesnt get off the ground and to the public.
Thats why a person like William Crapo
Durant is needed when new industries are try-
ing to get to their feet. In 1890, Durant, who

Seventeen-year-old Dana Bloom
didnt know much about web design
when she enrolled in the class at
Carlmont High School.
Since then, the Belmont schools
senior has learned a variety of pro-
grams that helped her build a web-
site inspired by her hope to one day
own a bakery Bloomies Bakery.
A number of skills came in handy
when making the site. A screenshot
of her work will be part of an online
gallery featuring local students
work that goes live next week.
Showcasing student art isnt a
new concept but work created in
San Mateo County will be online
this year allowing for new features.
Those interested in learning what
local students are doing in class can
simply browse the online gallery at
their leisure starting May 8 at

The SMartwork Show, hosted by
San Mateo County Office of
Education-Career Technical
Education/Regional Occupational
Program, features art, multimedia,
video games, engineering, digital
photography, web design, anima-
tion, and lm and audio production
created by students at 12 schools
throughout San Mateo and Santa
Clara counties.
Carlmont teacher Josh Sheridan
explained a lot of the work done by
students is done behind closed
doors. It may not be seen by friends
and family.
Showcasing work
through a show was the
solution, which has
been done for a couple
years. This year, the
organizing group, which
includes 16 teachers
from nine schools, start-
ed much earlier to
implement an online
exhibition gallery. The
work will be on display
through Sept. 21. Going
online has given teach-
ers a unique opportunity
to highlight work like
animation in a gallery
setting.
Work for the show is
selected by teachers to
highlight projects com-
pleted in the arts, media,
entertainment and engi-
neering courses embed-
ded in the school day,
said SMCOE ROP School
Counselor Lauren Sneed.
These teachers, like Josh, are
open to using technology in the
classroom. They are preparing stu-
dents to enter the global workplace
with current and relevant technolo-
gy skills. Their curriculum gives the
students the best of both worlds
merging the traditional common
core academic standards inside an
innovative teaching model that stim-
ulates their students creativity,
said Sneed.
These types of courses are part of
the career technical education
courses offered locally. More than
1,300 local students are enrolled in
such courses.
The SMartwork Online Show runs
from May 8 through Sept. 21 at

mit student work to the guest

SAN JOSE San Jose police
made dozens of arrests over two
nights but say the Cinco de Mayo
celebration in the citys downtown
during the weekend was mostly free
of some of the violence seen during
past celebrations.
Police say officers arrested 39
people Saturday night on a variety
of charges including public intoxi-
cation and possession of deadly
weapons, including one person who
was armed with a gun.
The arrests Saturday night came
after 21 people were arrested Friday
night on various charges including
public intoxication, possession of
narcotics and resisting arrest.

SAN FRANCISCO Dozens of
people have been burned out their
homes and at least four people have
been hurt after a re roared through
a four-story apartment building in
San Franciscos Mission District,
ofcials said Sunday.
The number of people left home-
less was estimated to be around 37,
including seven children, but the
number was expected to rise as resi-
dents return to the building, said
American Red Cross spokesman
Woody Baker-Cohn.
The Red Cross was working on
putting residents burned out of their
homes up in either motels or a shel-
ter, Baker-Cohn said.
Three reghters and one resident
of the building were hurt, according
to a San Francisco Fire Department
supervisor. The supervisor, who did
not want to give her name, did not
know the nature of their injuries, but
they were not believed to be life-
threatening.
The blaze was first reported
around 10 a.m. Sunday in the wood-
en building near Duboce and
Valencia streets.
When reghters arrived, ames
and smoke were pouring out of sev-
eral windows on the top oor of the
structure, with the ames eventually
spreading to at least one adjacent
building.
The re was contained by noon,
but firefighters were expected to
remain on the scene through the
afternoon.
The cause of the re is under
investigation.
Officials say 37 left

NDNU GRADUATION
By Hannah Dreier
SACRAMENTO A recent run
of bills intended to add more protec-
tions for gays and lesbians in
California has sparked acrimonious
debate in the state Assembly and
exposed some of the social ssures
that divide the two major parties.
Last week, lawmakers approved
three bills that apply existing state
programs to gay, lesbian, bisexual
and transgender business owners,
government workers and foster chil-
dren. This week, they will weigh in
on what may be the years signature
piece of gay rights legislation, a bill
that would prohibit gay-to-
straight therapy for minors.
Republican lawmakers in the
80-member Assembly are not let-
ting the reforms through quietly,
prompting harsh reactions from
some of their Democratic counter-
parts. Assemblyman Tom
Ammiano, D-San Francisco,
called the Republicans objections
idiotic drivel.
Its just infuriating to see, partic-
ularly for young people, these very
harmful attitudes, he said in a tele-
phone interview. Im sick of it.
Tensions were on display Monday
when Assemblyman Roger
Dickinson, D-Sacramento, intro-
duced a bill that would require the
state to track the number of gay and
lesbian business owners with which
it contracts. California currently
collects data on contractors race,
ethnicity and gender.
Assemblyman Chris Norby, R-
Fullerton, immediately raised his
microphone to object to the collec-
tion of personal information,
whether its immutable characteris-
tics, or those that may be mutable.
Such a bill would inevitably lead
to quotas, he said.
Assemblywoman Linda
Halderman, R-Fresno, took up the
thread, saying some people would
cheat the system by lying about
their sexual orientation, while others
would feel exposed.
There are people who choose to
keep their sexuality private, and this
looks like it would disadvantage
them, she said.
Dickinson responded that the bill
would not allow the state to favor
gay-owned businesses. He said the
check-off box is necessary to show
the importance to the states econo-
my of businesses owned by gays
and lesbians.
After Halderman reafrmed her
concerns, Dickinson appeared to
grow annoyed, shaking his head and
gesturing with his hands.
Theres no quotas, no path to
quotas, no hint or suggestion or
scintilla of anything to do with quo-
tas in this legislation, he said.
Ammiano also was visibly upset,
arching his eyebrows and speaking
quickly.
This is a group that has been
invisible for a long time and con-
tributes to the economy of
California, and its time they took
their rightful place. Stop this silly
parsing, he said.
Bills protecting gays divide Assembly
CAMARILLO The average
U.S. price of a gallon of gasoline
has dropped seven cents over the
past two weeks.
Thats according to the Lundberg
Survey of fuel prices, released
Sunday, which puts the price of a
gallon of regular at $3.85.
Midgrade costs an average of
$4.00 a gallon, and premium is at
$4.12.
Diesel dropped three cents to
$4.15 a gallon.

Joe Rosas and Menlo Park resident
George Yang.
The top two vote getters in the
June 5 primary will move on to face
each other in the November general
election.
None of Gordons opponents have
run for political ofce before.
Espinosa, 47, owns the Contenders
Boxing Gym in Mountain View with
her husband where she helps train
and mentor boxers.
A native of Indonesia, Espinosa
wants to drastically reform immigra-
tion policies in the state to make all
who want to live and work here to
speak English only. She also favors
reducing the number of immigrants
allowed to enter the state and wants
to close the borders.
We need jobs for Americans,
she told the Daily Journal.
She also wants to tackle escalating
home prices in the area to, she said,
restore the American Dream.
Espinosa, a Democrat, also favors
using industrial hemp for textiles
and fuel to boost manufacturing jobs
in the state. She supports the states
medical marijuana laws, under re
by the federal government.
The moral issue is over, she
said. The constitutional issue is
now present.
She plans to only spend about
$1,000 on her campaign and has
spent much of her time campaigning
door to door in Mountain View.
Rosas, 22, was raised in Mountain
View but currently resides in
Sunnyvale.
A former Democrat, he now lists his
party afliation as decline to state.
Inspired by his work with the
Occupy movement, Rosas discovered
he might have a knack for politics
related to his advocacy work for the
less fortunate and immigrants.
He has volunteered extensively at
Peninsula Interfaith Action, promoting
immigrants rights. He was a big sup-
porter of Assembly Bill 353, which
prevents law enforcement from towing
vehicles belonging to people without a
valid drivers license. He has organized
many student rallies at the state Capitol
and even took over a committee hear-
ing with a group of students once.
Im the liberal candidate in this
race, Rosas told the Daily Journal.
His main reason for running is to
protect education funding.
The state has made too many cuts
and has put us in debt, Rosas said.
He believes repealing Proposition
13 for non-residential properties
would be a big boost to state coffers
and could go toward funding public
schools and universities.
It is appalling how politicians have
allowed education to collapse in the
past 10 to 15 years, he said.
He does not support the states high-
speed rail project nor Gov. Jerry
Browns plan to reform state pensions.
I believe in workers rights. The
benets were negotiated in lieu of
more pay, he said. We cant go
back on our promises.
The only Republican in the race is
Menlo Park resident George Yang, a
software engineer. From mainland
China, Yang, 35, is excited to partic-
ipate in the democratic process. He
is not looking to make a career out
of politics, though.
This is not a career change. I intend
to serve the community then return to
my programming work, he said.
Fixing the states education problem
will require more than money, he said.
The state doesnt use technology to
the benet of students,Yang said.
He does support pension reform
and thinks the states high-speed rail
project should be constructed in the
East Bay and not on the Peninsula.
Regarding pension reform, he
thinks public sector salaries should
be tied to the median salary in the
private sector, factoring in the states
unemployment rate.
We need to have a new formula
for public salaries, he said.
He also has ideas to boost tourism
in the district by attracting more vis-
itors from China.
Although a Republican, he said
his only pledge is to town and
country. Not the party.
Gordon, seeking re-election, looks
at the states $9 billion decit as its
biggest problem.
We are doing better than a year ago
but below projected revenue, Gordon,
63, said. He suspects the decit will be
closer to $11 billion or more by the
time the next state budget is approved.
Tax measures on the November
ballot have sunset provisions that
assumes the economy will recover,
he said.
He wants the state to start tack-
ling the budget in two-year cycles
and to implement more perform-
ance-based standards when fund-
ing state agencies. He also favors
reducing the number of bills an
Assembly member can introduce.
There is too much legislation
introduced. I have seen 2,600 pieces
of legislation introduced in two
years, he said.
He also wants to restore redevelop-
ment activities, after the Legislature
voted last year to dissolve all 400 rede-
velopment agencies in the state.
There will be a major effort to
give cities the development tools
they need and to support affordable
housing, Gordon said.
Gordon is one of the original pro-
ponents of the blended system for
Caltrain to share its tracks with high-
speed rail, mostly within its right of
way.
Gordon has about $85,000 in his
campaign now and continues to raise
money for his re-election bid.

OPINION 9
One simple request
Editor,
Every morning (and most evenings) I
walk my dog along San Mateo Drive
between Saint Matthews and Fourth
Avenue. Its a nice, mellow walk where
I pass a hospital, a nice little park with
a tortoise statue, some senior citizen
condos, and a good chunk of downtown
San Mateos shopping area.
Bebe (my dog) is a good companion.
She sits at street corners until I tell her
its safe to go and she keeps to herself
when people pass by. On our walk,
there are four crosswalks at stop lights,
one mid-block crosswalk with ashing
lights (near the hospital), and another
mid-block crosswalk with a large yel-
low sign showing a stick gure trying
to cross the street (by my street, Saint
Matthews Avenue). Every morning,
without fail, I have to dodge cars or
pull my dog back to prevent her from
getting hit by drivers just sailing
through the crosswalks without show-
ing any signs of slowing down. This
morning, a woman cut us off in the
crosswalk while her hands were raised
in the air with an incredulous look on
her face like what do you expect me
to do, stop? The worst crosswalk is
the one by the hospital where ashing
lights and thick striped lines on the
street do nothing to deter motorists
from driving through or driving around
people trying to safely cross the street.
Id like to remind people that
California Vehicle Code Section 21950
states very clearly that the driver of a
vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a
pedestrian crossing the roadway within
any marked crosswalk or within any
unmarked crosswalk at an intersection,
except as otherwise provided in this
chapter. Pretty simple, huh? I dont set
out every morning to play Frogger with
San Mateo motorists. I just want a nice
walk where I can get myself and my
dog home safely.

U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier
hard at work
Editor,
Last week, the Daily Journal had a
picture of U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-
San Mateo, watching the annual bless-
ing of the shing eet in Half Moon
Bay a pressing duty, when you con-
sider our country is in a deep reces-
sion.On May 2, Speier is shown speak-
ing at San Francisco State University,
regarding the student debt loan crisis.
To all who voted for Rep. Speier
kudos for electing her while unem-
ployment grows, small businesses
close, crime grows, corruption ourish-
es in local cities, i.e. San Mateo, pot-
holes get bigger, taxes rise, remen
salaries roll past $200,000 a year, fore-
closures escalate ... Rep. Speier, with
all due respect, dont you have any-
thing better to do?

Letters to the editor
Merced Sun-Star
T
his month marks the one-year
anniversary of the U.S.
Supreme Court decision afrm-
ing that California would have to lower
the number of inmates in its overcrowd-
ed 33-prison system.
So where are we? The prison popula-
tion has dropped dramatically by
22,000 inmates. The triple bunks in
gymnasiums, day rooms and other
areas are gone. Most prisons are notice-
ably quieter and less violent.
The nality of the U.S. Supreme
Court decision provided focus for all
parties to get on with the task of reduc-
ing the states prison population.
Gov. Jerry Brown proposed and the
Legislature passed realignment, in
which certain individuals convicted of
low-level felony offenses are sentenced
to county jails instead of state prisons.
Since it took effect in October, that
shift has gone as expected. Counties
have not been overwhelmed. In fact, the
number of offenders released from
county jails because of a lack of space
declined in the rst three months.
Now the California Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation has
come out with a plan that would adjust
the whole state prison system based on
lower inmate numbers and a close look
at the remaining population.
This realistic, feasible blueprint pro-
vides the much-needed next steps
beyond realignment.
Lower inmate numbers mean the
state prison system can make signi-
cant reductions in reception center beds
and lower-security beds. The need for
higher-security beds will stay about the
same.
The system will be left with higher-
level offenders, who will be older. A
decade ago, the state prison system had
6,000 inmates ages 55 and older. Now
its 14,100. In ve years, it will be
20,000. Many of these older inmates
can be housed at lower security levels.
CDCR estimates that about 17,000
inmates can be shifted to less costly,
lower-security housing.
The number of correctional ofcers
and other staff can be reduced by
5,500 in 2012-13, CDCR estimates;
ultimately, by 6,400. The department
has set new uniform stafng standards
for each prison based on its design,
inmate classication levels, perimeter
security and daily timelines (such as
feeding, medication distribution and
education programming). This is long
overdue.
The state will be able to close the
old, dilapidated, expensive California
Rehabilitation Center and bring home
9,500 inmates from expensive prisons
in Arizona, Mississippi and Oklahoma.
In the end, it looks as if the state may
have to build only one facility for the
most seriously ill, mentally ill, aged
and disabled prisoners. A new prison
health care facility in Stockton is
expected to add 1,722 beds by June
2013. With renovation of the old,
closed juvenile DeWitt Nelson facility
in Stockton, the state would add 1,133
beds by June 2014 for inmates with a
temporary crisis (such as a psychotic
episode). This unied Stockton com-
plex would avoid the cost of transport-
ing prisoners to expensive care at com-
munity hospitals.
The state also plans to catch up on
updating clinics at each prison some
so primitive they have no sinks or hot
water. The Joint Legislative Budget
Committee should take action to accel-
erate this so it gets done in two or three
years not ve or six.
The federal court ordered state of-
cials, inmate lawyers and the receiver
to meet and issue a report by April 30
on how to get beyond the federal
takeover to a post-receivership phase
and plan a period of oversight to
sustain the progress that has been
achieved. That has been pushed back to
May 7.
But, make no mistake, California
nally seems on the right path to get its
state prison population and manage-
ment under control.
State can redo prison system at lower cost
Some clues,
but no answers
I
attended a supervisor candidates forum in Millbrae
last month hosted by the North Peninsula Democratic
Club hoping to see what our choices were like up
close and personal. An event like this can demonstrate how
the candidates differentiate themselves on policy, how up
to speed they are on county issues, how articulate and per-
suasive they are. Also I wanted to check out how the can-
didates might function on the existing board. Would they
be the supervisor with the brilliant ideas but with no sup-
port to get something done? Would they be overwhelmed
by their colleagues and just go along to get along? Would
they be willing to challenge
the majority on issues
important to them but still
be a team player? And were
they likable, a person with
whom others like to work?
Unfortunately, this partic-
ular forum offered some
clues, but no answers. The
format allowed each candi-
date a minute opening and
closing statement and a few
minutes to answer a set of
questions. The questions
were the same for all the
candidates and they
answered them in a row. There were no questions from the
floor. No chance to see how a candidate would respond off
the cuff or when challenged by another candidate or a
member of the audience. This forum had no sparks and
definitely no fireworks.
***
Six candidates who are running for the open seat on the
San Mateo County Board of Supervisors attended. The
seventh, former county elections chief Warren Slocum,
called in sick. Here are a few of my notes on how the can-
didates tried to differentiate themselves.
Kirsten Keith, Menlo Park mayor: Facebook has come to
town and Menlo Park has signed a favorable development
agreement. It will bring many jobs to the city and Kristin
was featured in the Wall Street Journal. She encourages
low income tax credits to spur affordable housing.
Memo Morantes, San Mateo County Board of Education
trustee: In considering budget cuts, dont take away pro-
grams from the needy. He favors consolidation of services
and feels diversity is needed on the board.
Carlos Romero, East Palo Alto councilman: With loss of
redevelopment funds, county and cities must work together
to encourage economic development. Romero announced
he was a decline to state but usually agreed with the
Democrats.
Ernie Schmidt, Redwood City planning commissioner.
Best way to deal with budget shortfall is to encourage new
business. He is the only non-elected official in the group
but said his grandfathers were active in the Mexican gov-
ernment and they inspired him.
Shelly Masur, Redwood City Elementary School District
trustee: Pointed out that the county was the provider of
last resort. She has a public health background. County
needs to work with cities and school districts to eliminate
duplication of services.
Andy Cohen, Menlo Park councilman: His solution to
housing and transportation was to build more second units.
***
As to questions about pension reform, everyone seemed
to agree you had to work with the unions and, when neces-
sary, renegotiate contracts. As for the need for more hous-
ing, everyone agreed we needed more located next to tran-
sit. Everyone agreed the county budget was primary con-
cern. As for transportation, some emphasized the need to
make it more affordable and convenient. Others talked
about getting more people out of their cars and making
improvements to Caltrain including electrification. No one
mentioned high-speed rail. The candidates suggested you
go to their websites to find out more about how they stand
on the issues. A good idea. Also, a League of Women
Voters candidates night held last Thursday in Menlo Park
is being rebroadcast over local cable television.
***
The clubs meeting started with Assemblyman Jerry Hill,
D-San Mateo, who is running for state Senate. His primary
Democratic opponent, Sally Lieber, did not attend.
Probably a good choice since this was a love fest for Hill.
The love continued for the next candidate, Kevin Mullin, a
South San Francisco councilman running for Hills seat in
the state Assembly. Mullin has the distinction of being the
only non-incumbent in a race with just two candidates so
he will face his Republican challenger both in June and in
November.

BUSINESS 10
The stock market will have a lot to
chew on next week.
Job creation for April was disappoint-
ing just 115,000, the fewest since
October, the government said Friday.
After three months that averaged about
250,000, the March and April gures
have economists worried.
On the bright side, what investors call
earnings season is almost over, and it
was better than just about anyone hoped:
403 companies in the Standard & Poors
500 have reported rst-quarter earnings,
and 72 percent have beaten Wall Street
estimates.
In Europe, France holds an election
Sunday, and Socialist challenger
Francois Hollande holds a narrow lead
in polls. If he wins, it will throw into
question whether France sticks to gov-
ernment budget-cutting to fight the
European debt crisis.
The Associated Press asked three mar-
ket experts to weigh in on these three
topics and what they mean for the mar-
ket in the weeks ahead. They are:
Joseph Tanious, Global Market
Strategist, JPMorgan Funds.
Phil Orlando, chief equity strategist
at Federated Investors, which manages a
suite of mutual funds.
Dan Greenhaus, chief global strate-
gist for the brokerage BTIG in New
York.
Heres what they had to say:
ON THE JOBS REPORT
Tanious:
The jobs report reinforced our view
that the labor market is healing, but at a
painfully slow pace. ... We are continu-
ing to see job gains, but theres no doubt
its been slowing down.
Still, he said, stock investors are best
served realizing that the U.S. economy is
healing ... Theres a big difference
between a weak economy thats continu-
ing to deteriorate and a weak economy
thats slowly improving.
Orlando:
While the jobs numbers were disap-
pointing, we have to remember that
there were several distorted seasonal
factors that hurt hiring last month, start-
ing with the unusual warm weather
January through March this year and an
earlier Easter than usual.
Greenhaus:
Coming after a weak report in March,
the April gures look like the start of a
worrisome trend. One month can be
weather-related, two months of weaker
than expected job growth is dangerously
close to a trend, Greenhaus said in a
note to clients. Weak job growth and
weak income growth is most unwelcome
especially at a time when so many are
banking on the exact opposite.
ON EARNINGS:
Tanious:
Were having an exceptional earnings
season in the sense that 60 to 70 percent
of companies are exceeding analysts
estimates on both earnings and revenue.
Thats a net positive, and that trend is up
from what we saw over the previous two
quarters.
However, if you remove yourself
from the day-to-day, the trend were see-
ing is that earnings growth is continuing
to decelerate, which is expected in a
maturing prot cycle.
Orlando:
The stated expectations for earnings in
the rst quarter were that revenue and
income would break even. The thinking
was that the economy was slowing and
margins had peaked. But weve had a
much better earnings season, which
reects the strength of corporate America.
The outlook is cautious since we dont
know how the economy will fare.
Greenhaus:
Companies have been reporting
stronger rst-quarter earnings over the
past month but its been little help to the
stock market. That was to be expected
following the S&P 500 indexs 12 per-
cent rally in the rst three months of the
year.
The fact that companies beat earn-
ings expectations isnt news. That hap-
pens every quarter. This time, expecta-
tions got so low there was no way they
couldnt get beaten.
ON EUROPE:
Tanious:
The crisis in Europe is far from over.
Due to the austerity that many of these
countries are implementing, we continue
to believe that Europe is going to be
experiencing a mild recession this year.
... You have to wonder when this popular
uprising of anti-austerity feeling is going
to transfer into public ofce.
Markets never move in a linear fash-
ion. There are a lot of headlines out there
and a lot of risks that are likely to lead to
increased volatility throughout the year.
Orlando:
The recurring theme in these upcom-
ing elections is that they need to rethink
policy in Europe about how to deal with
the euro zone debt crisis. ... They need to
gure out a way to stimulate private eco-
nomic growth to offset the drag from
imposed government austerity.
Greenhaus:
In France, the Socialist Hollande
stands a good chance of beating incum-
bent Nicolas Sarkozy, who has been at
the forefront of efforts to avoid a col-
lapse of the regions shared currency
along with German Chancellor Angela
Merkel.
How you campaign and how you
govern are always two different things.
So what policies (Hollande) will pursue
are unknown. Of course, nancial mar-
kets prefer the known to the unknown.
Investors face 3 big issues
ATHENS, Greece Greeks angered by
a vicious and protracted nancial crisis pun-
ished the parties that have dominated politics
for decades Sunday, with projected election
results showing them hemorrhaging support
to anti-bailout groups and no party gaining
enough ballots to form a government.
Responding quickly to the protest vote,
the heads of the parties in rst and second
place pledged to seek to either renegotiate
the terms of Greeces multibillion dollar
international bailout agreement or over-
turn it.
More than two years of repeated auster-
ity measures in return for bailout loans
from other European Union countries and
the IMF have pushed Greece into a deep
recession that has seen the jobless rate
explode and tens of thousands of business-
es close. The misery has infuriated voters
who on Sunday dealt a massive blow to the
decades-old dominance of the countrys
two main parties, the socialist PASOK and
conservative New Democracy.
The two, which have alternated in
power since the end of the seven-year dic-
tatorship in 1974, had managed to coexist
in an uneasy alliance for the past six
months as a governing coalition cobbled
together to secure a second bailout deal
and the biggest debt writedown in history.
Greek parties vow bailout changes
By Tracie Cone
MERCED, Calif. With her anti-
poverty budget stretched beyond its lim-
its, Brenda Callahan-Johnson is braced
for next Saturday: the day Californias
chronically unemployed will be cut off
from the nations jobless benets.
A drop in the states unemployment
rate to 11 percent its lowest mark in
three years is triggering the federal
cutoff of emergency, long-term unem-
ployment pay to at least 93,000
Californians.
But in the states agricultural heart-
land, where Callahan-Johnson runs the
Merced County Community Action
Agency, a jobless rate of more than 20
percent two and a half times the
nationwide average of 8.2 percent
makes it difcult for some to believe an
economic recovery has begun.
I think Merced County is used to
hardships, but we are stretched beyond
our capacity here, Callahan-Johnson
said of the rural county that sits roughly
midway between Fresno and
Sacramento. In Merced County there
are no jobs to be had.
The cut-off is another blow to a region
with the states highest percentage of people
living below the poverty line, and where the
bursting of the housing bubble has led to the
highest foreclosure rate in the country.
The Golden State has lost its luster for
many of the chronically unemployed,
and even for those whose job it is to pro-
vide anti-poverty services to them. With
just two weeks notice, those 93,000 peo-
ple will join 670,000 other unemployed
Californians whose benets, averaging
$292 a week, already have run out.
This is a hard cut-off. Its not like you
get to nish out your 20 weeks, said
Maurice Emsellem, policy co-director of
the National Employment Law Project.
This is a very dramatic impact with this
latest wave of workers ... who once were
gainfully employed who have run out of
everything.
For chronically jobless, more bad news
SAN FRANCISCO Optimism
reigns in San Francisco, especially when
it comes to the seeming promise of tech-
nology to improve peoples lives.
Recently, a crowd of engineers, entre-
preneurs and designers came together
for a weekend of intense work and little
sleep to figure out how technology
could help people who dont have roofs
over their heads, much less web
browsers.
Projects hashed out included a mobile
wash station that people could use to
take showers and launder their clothes.
Another would eliminate lines for

touch-screen kiosks to make and check
reservations.

NBA PLAYOFFS: KNICKS FINALLY GET A WIN; BULLS ON BRINK OF OUSTER >>> PAGE 14
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Last year, the plan was to win it.
This year, the mission was to
defend it.
As such, the Burlingame girls
swim team put on an impressive late
surge to come from behind and take
their second consecutive Peninsula
Athletic League girls team title on
Saturday.
The Panthers turned an 18-point
decit after 37 events into a 551-
525 win over Menlo-Atherton.
Sequoia High school nished third,
holding off Woodside High by a
point.
Im real happy, said
Burlingame head coach Chris Culp.
Im real pleased with our perform-
ance. Everyone swam excellent
today. A lot of season-best times.
So, real pleased.
M-A led the majority of the way
in the girls standings, holding a
455-437 lead up until the 100 yard
backstroke which was won 1-2 by
Burlingames Leah Goldman and
Irene Li. M-A nished 4-5-7-8 in
that event.
But the Panthers made their big
move in the 100 yard breastroke,
finishing 1-4-5 behind Madison
Gebhards record-breaking time of
1:04.95. She bested Sarah Liangs
old 2005 mark of 1:05.18. The
Bears only had one swimmer place
in the breaststroke, Kindle Van
Linge nished third. The win in the
breast gave Burlingame their rst
lead 493-477. Its a lead they would
not relinquish.
Theres always panic, Culp said
about M-As late lead. I had panic
two days ago, last night. But, what I
told the kids was winning is not
everything. Its a lot of fun, but just
get out there and do the best you
can. However the points end up, its
how the points end up. I try not to
get to tied up with the points ... but
I knew we were pretty strong in the
back end of the meet. So I felt pret-
ty condent. But a lot of things can
change. I know that we worked hard
and our kids are talented. They were
red up.
As expected, Burlingame got
huge contributions from every
member of that girls team.
Goldman, Gebhard, Naomi Thomas

For 50 starry-eyed gymnasts at Peninsula
Gymnastics in San Mateo, there are questions
whose answers are more valuable than silver.
Whats it like to be a college gymnast?
Whats the training for college gymnastic
like?
What is the difference between training for
the Olympics and college?
Last Friday, these young gymnasts with
dreams of one day donning a gymnastics uni-
form at the collegiate level go their answers
courtesy of former United States Olympian
and current UCLA gymnast Samantha Peszek,
who was in San Mateo to promote the 2012
Olympic Trials in San Jose which take place at
the end of June.
Peszek is a world-class gymnast and was a
part of the 2008 Beijing U.S. team that took
home the silver medal its a team that

SAN FRANCISCO Hector Sanchez never
had a game-ending hit in his professional career.
Hed never faced a ve-man ineld, either.
What a way for both trends to end.
The pinch-hitting Sanchez lined a one-out single
over the crowded ineld with the bases loaded in
the 11th inning, lifting the San Francisco Giants to
a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on
Sunday to take the three-game series. The hit came
after Milwaukee rallied from its last strike in the
ninth.
Theres no getting around it. That wouldve
been a tough one to lose, Giants manager Bruce
Bochy said. It was vital, I thought, that we win
that one before we hit the road.
The nal rally didnt take long.
Buster Poster singled off sidearm submariner
Tim Dillard (0-1) leading off the nal inning and
pinch-runner Emmanuel Burriss moved to second
on Angel Pagans sacrice bunt.
Dillard walked Brandon Belt intentionally and
Ryan Theriot drew a walk to load the bases. Left
elder Ryan Braun moved into the ineld before
Sanchez sent a full-count pitch off Dillard down
the left-eld line where nobody wouldve reached
it under a traditional conguration anyway.
I was just trying to get the ball over the ineld,
said Sanchez, San Franciscos backup catcher. I
feel happy for the whole team. We needed that.
Indeed.

which kept them in front for the time being.
Event 41 is where Burlingame took over, nishing 1-4-5 to M-
As third place nish. They carried that momentum to the 400
yard freestyle relay where Goldman, Maxwell, Thomas and
Brennand shattered their old PAL record of 3:36.83 with a 3:31.98
performance.
On the boys side of the pool, M-A completely dominated, tak-
ing home yet another title with a 534-point performance.
Burlingame was second with 453 points. Mills nished third.
The meet started with a Panther win in the 200 yard medley that
just missed breaking a PAL record. Terra Novas Bryant Jacobs
began an impressive individual afternoon with a win in the 200
yard freestyle.
Burlingames Kawei Tan was just as impressive. He won the
200 yard individual medley by almost 10 seconds.
In the 50 freestyle, M-As Max Wilder was fastest with a 22.32
swim. Aragon nished 2-3, with William Seeburger and Ivan
Chen respectively.
In the 100 buttery, Joshua Yeager took gold with a 54.73.

Menlo took second and fourth in the
100 yard buttery with Johnny Wilsons
54.53 good for silver.
Sheridan turned in another solid per-
formance in the 100 yard freestyle, tak-

5 in the 100.
In the 500 free, the Gators took over.
Pippa Temple, Caroline Rakow and
Lauren Glasby nished 2-3-4 on the

more impressive, taking the top three
spots (Enright, Chris Hinrichs and
Nelson Perla-Ward).
The Gator girls took second in the 200

for second.
Myers took second in the 100 yard

Franciscos Santiago Casilla his rst
blown save in the ninth. The Giants had
lost three straight by one run and
dropped the opener to the Brewers 6-4
before winning both on the weekend.
Lefty specialist Javier Lopez (3-0)
recorded one out for the win. Clay
Hensley also pitched 1 2-3 scoreless
innings after Milwaukee chased Casilla.
Its not easy, but this games not sup-
posed to be easy. Life isnt easy, said
Braun, who was 1 for 4 with a walk.
We have no choice but to continue to
move forward.
San Franciscos banged-up bullpen
nally caved before its bats for a
change brought the club back.
Corey Hart reached on a elding error
by third baseman Ryan Theriot to lead
off the ninth. Then Casilla rallied to
strike out Jonathan Lucroy and popped
up Taylor Green.
With Milwaukee down to its last strike,
former Giants pinch-hit specialist Ishikawa
doubled on the ninth pitch against Casilla
to score Hart and force extra innings. The
comeback handed Casilla his rst blown
save in six chances this season in place of
injured closer Brian Wilson.
Defense extended the game even further.
Nyjer Morgan made a leaping grab on
the warning track to rob Melky Cabrera
of extra bases to end the 10th inning.
Morgan, born in San Francisco, pointed
back at fans in the bleachers and taunted
the crowd running back to the dugout.
Cabrera caught Lucroys liner in the web
of his glove in left and easily doubled up
Hart at rst base in the 11th inning, setting
the stage for Sanchezs walkoff. Giants
players scurried out of the dugout and
mobbed Sanchez as he rounded rst, and
the water-cannons in right popped off in
what has become a familiar scene in San
Francisco the last few years.

(Mid-Peninsula at Hwy 101 & Holly Street)
up in the air during her Q&A, it was evident
that Peninsula gymnasts were intrigued more
by what Peszek represents: a chance to one
day go to college and participate in the sports
they love.
I think its really great for the girls because
not only did she compete as an Elite, but she
also competes as a college gymnast and thats
really what we aim for here., said Ashley
Hansen, a developmental and compulsory
team coach at Peninsula Gymnastics. We
want to produce college-level gymnasts and I
think for them to be able to come and ask her
questions about competing as a college ath-
lete, it gives them hope. It gives them hope for
the future. It gives them a reason to stay in the
sport. This country produces ve Olympic
gymnasts every four years, but they produce
hundreds of athletes that go to college every
year.
The whole year, Im in college, so its real-
ly fun to come do this and remember where
you started, where it all began, Peszek said.
The energy, the love and the passion for the
sport these girls have reminds me how much I
love the sport as well.
Peszek elded an array of questions during
a 20-minute Q&A and then signed pictures,
gym bags, even teddy bears for her young
fans.
These kids are buzzing with excitement,
Hansen said. We had Carly Patterson come
out a couple of months ago and the kids were
really excited about that. But half these kids
werent born when she won the Olympics so
they all know who Sam is and they were real-
ly excited to meet her.
Peszek, whos been a gymnast from the ripe
old age of two, was in town to promote the
Olympic trials, which will take place at the
HP Pavilion in San Jose beginning June 28
and running through July 1. The 10 gymnasts
who will represent the United States in mens
and womens gymnastics at the 2012 Olympic
Games in London will be determined at the
2012 U.S. Olympic Trials.
Its going to be different being on the
opposite end of the spectrum, Peszek said.
The 2008 silver medalist wont be competing
at the trials. Its going to kill me because I
love competing, its my favorite part of gym-
nastics. But all the girls we have competing,
any of them they choose for the team will win
a medal. I have full condence they can get
the job done.
On Friday though, Peszek didnt have to
ash her silver medal to inspire the gymnasts
at Peninsula. If anything, what she gave them
was bigger she represented a dream.
Thats the emphasis that we put in gym-
nastics here, Hansen said. We want our kids
to go to college. These parents pay so much
for the sport its insane. I think if you rank the
most expensive sports in the country, gymnas-
tics would denitely would be one of the top.
So, if we can send them to college for free it
was be the best thing for these kids and more
the parents.
College is great, Peszek said. It might
not be as familiar and that blows my mind
because to me, it should be more familiar
because more people do college gymnastics.
It combines the academic part of it so theres
a balance. And to experience both, I feel real-
ly honored to do both because its almost like
two different sports. The training is different,
the mental aspect, the focuses are different
and I love them for two different things.
Not only do they get to go to college for
free, but like Samantha was saying, but they
get the team aspect of it, Hansen said. Not
only are they going there to do a sport that
they love, theyre going to meet friends that
last a life time, theyre going to get people to
do their homework with, have a social life
with and to have a family for the rest of their
lives. You cant ask for something better than
that.
Its amazing [to have Peszek at Peninsula].
Some of these kids are in the gym 20 hours a
week. So for them to have something more to
strive for is all I could want for them as their
coach. They dont always get that. Weve
never sent a female athlete to college and I
think were close to that. Having Sam come
here is a stepping stone. It gives them motiva-
tion.

TALLADEGA, Ala. The
leader on the last lap isnt supposed
to win at Talladega Superspeedway.
Everybody knows that.
Brad Keselowski disagrees, and
he showed how to do it Sunday with
a calculated plan that sent him to
Victory Lane.
Keselowski used a big push from
Kyle Busch to pass leader Matt
Kenseth, and after leaving the
Daytona 500 winner in their wake,
Keselowski staved off Buschs
attempt to snatch the win. Using a
move Keselowski said he had
dreamed about, he held on for his
second win of the season and sec-
ond at Talladega.
I had this whole plan if I ever got
in that situation where I was lead-
ing; I thought about it and thought
about it, dreamed about what to do,
and sure
enough, going
into (turn) three,
it was just me
and Kyle,
Ke s e l o ws k i
said. I knew
the move I
wanted to pull.
It worked
because the guy
running second
should have the advantage, but I had
this move all worked up in my
mind.
Keselowski was the rst driver in
the last ve races at Talladega to
take the white ag and hold on for
the win. He did it with a plan that
left both Busch and Kenseth at-
footed, and both praised Keselowski
after the race.
Hes no dummy, thats for sure,
said Busch, who wound up second
for the second consecutive day.
Busch was the leader on the last
lap of Saturdays Nationwide Series
race, and was passed by Joey
Logano right at the nish line. He
conceded theres little the leader can
do to preserve the victory on the last
lap of a restrictor-plate race, and
predicted how Sunday would
unfold.
If youre leading, being pushed,
plan on nishing second. Thats all
there is to it, Busch said after
Saturdays defeat.
So he should have been sitting
pretty after pushing Keselowski to
the front. Instead, Keselowski went
high into the third turn, then pulled
off of Buschs bumper to create
some separation.
That allowed me to drive
untouched to the checkered ag,
Keselowski said. It wasnt easy to
convince myself to do that, but it
was the right move.
Busch initially seemed dumb-
founded.
I must have screwed something
up, because we got to turn three and
came unhooked, Busch said. Just
gave the win away over there. Not
sure exactly what happened. We
denitely need to go back and gure
out what it was.
Kenseth didnt feel much better.
He led seven times for a race-high
73 laps, but believed he gave the
win away on the nal restart.
A nine-car accident with four laps
remaining brought out the yellow
ag, setting up a two-lap overtime
sprint to the nish. Kenseth, as the
leader, got to pick where he wanted
to restart and chose the outside line
so Roush Fenway Racing teammate
Greg Bife would line up behind
him and presumably push him to the
victory.
That put Keselowski and Busch
together on the inside line, but they
drifted back on the restart as
Kenseth indeed was able to jump
out to a huge lead.
It was probably too big of a lead.
Kenseth got a little too far away
from Biffle, which gave the
Keselowski-Busch tandem a chance
to catch him. The two cars sailed
past Kenseth on the outside line.
I think we had the winning car,
really just didnt have the winning
driver, Kenseth said. I looked for-
ward for a second, when I looked
back, Greg and I were separated,
those guys were already outside of
him. With me not paying attention,
keeping us hooked up, just cost us a
shot at the win, cost Greg a shot at
the win.
I wasnt too fast. I was just too
stupid I guess at the end to keep a
win.
It put Keselowski in Victory Lane
for the second time this season,
which helps his championship
chances.

Stoudemire raised his hands in the
air, one covered in padding, as
streamers fell from the ceiling
above him.
Finally, New York could celebrate
an NBA playoff victory again.
Carmelo Anthony scored 41
points, Stoudemire had 20 points
and 10 rebounds in his return from a
cut hand, and the Knicks snapped an
NBA-record, 13-game postseason
losing streak by beating the Miami
Heat 89-87 Sunday in Game 4 of
their rst-round series.
I think its the rst of many, said
Stoudemire, his
left arm back in
a sling to keep
his hand elevat-
ed. Tonight
was a great win
for us, for our
fans to finally
get over that
hump of those
c o n s e c u t i v e
games that we
lost, I guess the Knicks, lost over
those years in the playoffs.
Anthony made a tiebreaking 3-
pointer with 54.5 seconds left as the
Knicks overcame another serious
injury to win a playoff game for the
rst time since beating Toronto on
April 29, 2001, in Game 3 of a best-
of-ve series. Baron Davis dislocat-
ed his right kneecap in the third
quarter, just as the Knicks were
making the run that got them back
into the game after a dismal rst
half.
Im just glad that we came
together after that, kept our compo-
sure, kept on ghting and won the
basketball game, Anthony said.
LeBron James scored 27 for the
Heat, who will try to close it out in
Game 5 at home on Wednesday.
Dwyane Wade had 22, but missed a
3-pointer on the last possession that
would have given Miami a lengthy
rest before starting the second

PHILADELPHIA His coach
called Jrue Holidays slump 0 for
the world.
Even as the misses piled up,
Holiday never felt the weight of it
on his 21-year-old shoulders. All he
could do in a thorny Game 4 was
laugh about his struggles with team-
mate Evan Turner.
Youve got to be happy when
you play, Holiday said. It really
helps.
Boy, did it help Philadelphia in
the nal minutes against Chicago.
Holiday busted out of a game-long
slump with consecutive 3-pointers
that stretched a one-point lead into
seven and helped the 76ers beat the
Chicago Bulls 89-82 on Sunday and
take a 3-1 lead in their Eastern
Conference playoff series.
Dont fear the consequences,
76ers coach Doug Collins said.
Its the top-seeded Bulls who sud-
denly fear elimination.
Spencer Hawes scored 22 points
and Holiday had 20 to put the Sixers
one win away from joining the short
list of eighth-seeded teams that have
won a series against a No. 1 seed.
Andre Iguodala had 14 points and
12 rebounds for the Sixers, who
have won the last three games after
losing Game 1.
Game 5 is Tuesday in Chicago.
The short-handed Bulls played
without Derrick Rose (torn ACL)
and Joakim Noah (sprained ankle).
Rose is out for the season and Noah
is day to day for the rest of the
series.
In NBA postseason history, the
eighth seed has won a rst-round
series against the No. 1 seed four
times, including last season when
Memphis eliminated San Antonio.
Golden State (2007), New York
(1999) and Denver (1994) also
pulled off the rare feat.
Im not worried about it, Bulls
coach Tom Thibodeau said.

CAADA baseball
season ends
Despite a late-inning surge by the
Colts, the Caada baseball season
came to a close with a 2-0 series
defeat to No. 4 Fresno City College
in the California Community
College Baseball playoffs.
Caada fell to the Rams 14-4 in
Game 1 and 5-4 in Game 2.
In Game 1, the teams combined
for 33 hits, 20 of which belonged to
the Rams. But the Colts could not
capitalize on four Fresno errors.
The Rams had huge innings in the
second and third, when they scored
11 runs the middle of the Fresno
order, Matt Telesco, Brett Bishop
and Jack Karraker, combined for
nine hits and eight runs batted in.
Caada starter Mitch Labbie
struggled. He lasted two innings,
allowing seven runs (six earned) and
seven hits. He walked one. His
counterpart, Drew Merlo, scattered
eight hits and struck out seven in
seven innings of work.
Caada ends their season at 22-16
overall.
CSM softball advances
After a nail-biter in the 2012 post-
season opener produced a walk-off
win for the College of San Mateo
softball team, Sunday was a breeze
with the Bulldogs finishing off
American River College 8-0 in ve
innings.
CSM took the Northern California
Regional playoffs series 2-0.
Michelle Pilster picked up her
28th win of the season by going the
distance in the win. She struck out
four and allowed only four hits. She
walked ve.
CSM got out to a quick three-run
lead in the rst and tacked on a trio
of runs in the fourth and two more in
the fth. In all, they had 11 hits.
Mikayla Conlin led the surge with
two hits including a home run. She
drove in a three. Jamie Navarro also
had a multi-hit game, as well as
Selina Rodriguez. Vika Kafoa drove
in two.
In Game 1, Kafoa drew a bases
loaded walk on a 3-0 count with two
outs in the bottom of the seventh
inning to give College of San Mateo
a 2-1 walkoff victory over visiting
American River.
Pilster carried a no-hitter and 1-0
lead into the top of the seventh. But,
with one out, American Rivers
Jessica Heaney lofted a home run
over the left eld fence to tie the
score. Pilster gave up a single just
inside the left eld line before retir-
ing the next two batters to end the
rally.
Mary Ganal led off the bottom of
the seventh with a single to left right
center and advanced to second when
the ball was bobbled. Rodriguez
drew a walk and Navarro was hit by
a pitch to load the bags and set-up
Kafoa.
CSM started the game with a pair
of singles but left the bases loaded
in that rst frame. Finally, in the
fourth inning, the Bulldogs pushed
home a run after Conlin led off with
a double to right center. Pinchrunner
Katie Tam advanced to third on a
sacrice bunt by Annabel Hertz and
came home on a sacrice y to left
by pinchhitter Kristin Petrini.
Pilster struck out six and walked
three to nish a two-hit complete
game.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
SAN MATEO Cabrillo had
two of the best relievers in the state
up its sleeve for the nal game of
the Northern California Regional
Playoff at College of San Mateo.
With the series gridlocked in the
sixth inning of yesterdays winning-
take-all elimination game, however,
CSMs offense struck so quickly,
Cabrillos bullpen never even had a
chance to warm up. By the time it
did, CSM had taken the lead for
good, as the Bulldogs won Game
Three of its best-of-three series, 3-1,
to advance to next weeks Northern
California Super Regional Playoffs.
It is the fourth consecutive year
CSM has advanced to Super
Regional play, though none provid-
ed as dramatic an opening round as
this years head-to-head regional.
After cruising to a 10-1 win in
Saturdays opener, CSM entered
play yesterday with a game to give.
Cabrillo answered with a stunning
14-3 win in Game Two, setting the
stage for an doubleheader nightcap
elimination game. And, with an epic
pitching duel, the nale did not dis-
appoint.
There was a feeling about them
in the clubhouse that they were not
going to let this thing get away from
them, CSM manager Doug
Williams said.
Williams had reason to be con-
dent, as CSM had also had an ace up
its sleeve in the person of the best
JUCO pitcher in the state, Clint
Terry. The sophomore transfer cur-
rently paces all California
Community College pitchers with a
0.78 ERA. And, he was true to form
in yesterdays rubber game. Terry
earned the win to improve his
record to 7-1, surrendering just one
run on ve hits over eight innings of
work.
But, with the score tied 0-0 in the
sixth inning, it seemed the game
might get away from CSMs duel-
ing ace, when Cabrillo sophomore
Kevin Hatch launched a soaring
home run over the left-eld score-
board to give the Seahawks a 1-0
lead the rst home run Terry has
surrendered this season. However,
the CSM bats answered right back.
Instead of being stunned by
[Hatchs home run] I think we even
got a little more excited to get after
it, Williams said.
Thrilling comeback
In the bottom of the inning, with
Cabrillo starter Mike Nelson pitch-
ing with a lead for the rst time all
day, CSM freshman Brandon
DeFazio sparked a rally with a one-
out double into the left-eld corner.
Sophomore Mark Hurley fol-
lowed with a line drive that seized
the momentum back for the
Bulldogs. Hurley scorched a liner
over the head of Cabrillo shortstop
Matt Horton, who made an all-out
leaping attempt to snag it. The ball
hit Horton in the glove, but the
sophomore could neither hold on,
nor slow it down enough to prevent
DeFazio from scoring the tying run
all the way from second base.
Youre taught to freeze on a line
drive, DeFazio said. So when the
ball was hit, I go back to the bag and
look at the shortstop, and [the ball]
tips off his glove. I just take off, and
I look over at our third base coach
and hes agging me to go. I trust
him as much as anybody. So, I just
buried my head and took off as fast
as I could.
The aggressive base running paid
off as DeFazio plated without a
throw. CSM went on to add two
more in the inning. Cody
Zimmerman delivered the eventual
game winner with an ineld single
to plate Hurley. Following two
walks to load the bases, Nelson
gave way to reliever Nick Rossetta,
who forced home Zimmerman with
a walk to Trevin Craig.
I knew once we got those three
runs with a two run lead that it was
over there that our bullpen would
come in and do it, Terry said.
Terry went on to face the mini-
mum in his nal two innings, before
giving way to CSM freshman Dylan
Nelson in the ninth. After yielding
an ineld single to Hatch to start the
ninth, Nelson retired the next three
Cabrillo batters in order to earn his
third save of the year.
Pitching depth
CSM was able to conserve Terry
because of a depth of pitching. As a
staff this season, the Bulldogs have
posted 2.45 ERA. Williams went
with sophomore sensation Danny
Chavez in Game One on Saturday.
The right-hander was nothing short
of stellar in notching the complete-
game victory needing just 85
pitches to do so improving his
record to 7-3.
In Game Two yesterday, the
Bulldogs turned to their strikeout
specialist Clay Bauer, who lasted
just 1 1/3 innings before giving way
to the bullpen.
I thought Clay had pretty good
stuff, Williams said. He had life in
his fastball and a pretty good slider.
We didnt catch the ball behind him
really well, and then he walked
some guys and got himself into a lit-
tle trouble and elevated the ball.
Priming for the marathon run to
the State
Ch a mp -
ionships,
t h o u g h ,
Williams
knows he
will need
his staff
firing on
all cylin-
ders.
I f
w e r e
going to
bust through this thing, were going
to need Clay going to, Williams
said.
So, we felt that was a good
opportunity. And, we were con-
dent that Clint could control their
offense if we went to a third game,
which he proved he could do, he
continued.

INDIANAPOLIS Andrew
Luck already has a blueprint for his
month away from the Colts.
Indys new quarterback plans to
keep his head in the playbook,
review lm of this weekends rookie
minicamp and work out with as
many of his new teammates
whenever and wherever as he can.
League rules prohibit rookies from
attending any offseason workouts at
the team complex, other than the
rookie minicamp, until they have
completed the college semesters
classes. That means Luck is barred
from working out at Indys facilities
until after he nishes his nal class
June 7.
It is tough. I think it is very
tough, Luck said Sunday after this
weekends fth and nal workout.
We are going to have to nd ways,
legally, or to work around the rules,
to get work in with the guys and start
building those relationships with the
veterans who cant be here at this
minicamp. As a
rookie quarter-
back, I wish it
would be easier
to get out here
and to do this
stuff, but it is the
way it is.
Everybody has
got to do it.
Luckily, the
Colts and their new quarterback have
come up with some creative ways to
make this work.
NFL rules do not prevent rookies
from working with teammates out-
side the team complex, nor do they
prohibit communications with team
ofcials. So the Colts and Luck
intend to take advantage of both
loopholes.
Moments after taking Luck with
the rst overall pick April 26, gener-
al manager Ryan Grigson noted
Indianapolis might use iPads and
teleconferencing to help Lucks pro-
gression. The Colts also made some
shrewd moves to assist with Lucks
workouts over the next four weeks.
They took Lucks college team-
mate and close friend, tight end
Coby Fleener, with the 34th overall
pick. Then they signed another
Stanford alum, receiver Griff
Whalen, and former Cal receiver
Jeremy Ross, as undrafted free
agents. Veteran receiver Austin
Collie also happens to live on the
outskirts of Sacramento, Calif., a
roughly 2 1/2-hour drive from
Stanfords campus.
It gives Luck a chance to work
with two projected starters and most
certainly give him a better grasp of
the offense when he returns to Indy
on June 8.
What else can the Colts do?
Perennial Pro Bowl receiver
Reggie Wayne has already contacted
Luck about getting together, too.
Wayne traditionally works out in
Miami, where he attended college,
and it just happens that Indys third-
round pick, receiver T.Y. Hilton, is
from Miami and played at nearby
Florida International. The tentative
plan is for Luck to travel to Miami.
Team owner Jim Irsay has even
offered to make his personal helicop-
ter and private plane available to his
players.
Ive got to gure out dates and
talk to the other guys rst, but I will
denitely use whatever means of
transportation, especially if it is Mr.
Irsays stuff, Luck said with his
familiar smile.
The class schedule should help
Luck, too.
He needs to nish two classes to
earn his architectural design degree
and they meet only on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays. It
should give Luck enough time to
work on academics and still spend
those long weekends preparing for
his new job.
This is what I love to do and I
want to devote 100 percent of my
time right now to being the best
football player I can be and the best
quarterback for this team, said
Luck, who also plans to attend
Stanfords graduation ceremony in
June. But I realize that Im not
going to let 3 1/2 years of school go
to waste right now. I am going to try
to nish strong and go from there.
Luck takes over a team that start-
ed last season with Super Bowl
aspirations but nished a league-
worst 2-14 after Peyton Manning
was lost for the season following
multiple neck surgeries. The disas-
trous collapse led to a complete
overhaul.
Irsay changed the front ofce and
coaching staff in January and
February, then released Manning,
the longtime face of the franchise,
and several other fan favorites in
March. Those moves paved the way
for Luck to become the face of the
post-Manning era in Indy.
Hes a great player, a great kid
and hell t in perfectly, Manning
said Saturday night in Indy.
But the expectations for
Mannings successor are exceeding-
ly high.
Luck was projected to be the
NFLs No. 1 draft pick in 2011 and
2012 and will have to endure con-
stant comparisons to Manning,
whom Luck has called one of his
football idols.
Luck heads back to Stanford with work to do

A
bout a gazillion people have dogs.
Nearly that same number are into
yoga. And, considering there must
be crossover with these two groups, it was
just a matter of time before someone put the
two together. Doga (pronounced like yoga)
has given new meaning to downward dog.
Its yoga with your dog a unique bonding
experience. If youre interested, you can
take a course in our fair town of
Burlingame. Yoga master Annie Appleby of
YogaForce is teaching her next doga course
at the Burlingame Recreation Center begin-
ning Saturday, May 12. The class, which
meets four Saturdays, is $75 for Burlingame
residents and $88 for others. Used to be, the
only activities we enjoyed with our dogs
were jogging (or dogging), walking, tennis
ball chasing and Frisbee catching. There
was and still is a subset of dog owners who
partake in dog shows. For a hilarious
glimpse into that odd world, check out Best
in Show. More recently, dog owners have
been enrolling in Rally and Agility courses
with their dogs. For those unfamiliar, these
are like leading your dog through an obsta-
cle course as quickly as possible (We offer
an Agility course at PHS/SPCA). So, it was
high time doga was invented for the less
competitive, more new agey dog lovers.
What are the next hybrid activities for dog
lovers? How about douching (rhymes with
couch-ing)? Sign me up for the advanced
class! For less sedentary types, there could
be dardening. You pull the weeds and rake
leaves while your four-legged pal buries
bones or digs for cat poop nuggets left in
your garden. something tells me we wont
see tae kwon dog any time soon and Im
also afraid the only downward dog in my
home is going to be Murray asleep. But,
if others want to crank up the heat, lay on
mats and do some ohms with their dog,
Im all for it.

LOS ANGELES Hulk, smash.
Thats what Captain America tells
the Incredible Hulk to do in The
Avengers, and thats what the Marvel
Comics superhero mash-
up did at the box
ofce, smashing the
domestic rev-
enue record
with a
$200.3 mil-
lion debut.
Its by far
the biggest
opening ever,
shooting past
the previous
record of
$169.2 million
for the debut
of last years Harry Potter nale.
The Avengers added $151.5 mil-
lion overseas over the weekend to
bring its total to $441.5 million since
it began opening internationally a
week earlier.
That raised the lms worldwide
haul to $641.8 million in barely a
week and a half, more than its Marvel
superhero forerunners Iron Man,
Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain
America took in during their entire
runs.
If distributor Disneys domestic
estimate Sunday holds when the nal
weekend count is released Monday,
The Avengers would be the rst
movie ever to haul in $200 million in
a single weekend.
While the number could dip below
$200 million come Monday, Disney
spent the weekend revising its fore-
casts upward as business kept growing.
There arent even words, to be
honest. Im running low on double
takes. Every time we looked at a num-
ber, it just got bigger than what we
could have hoped for in the best-case
assumption, said Dave Hollis,
Disneys head of distribution. With
this lm, this weekend, anything is
possible.
The Avengers started with solid
midnight crowds Friday, though
nowhere near a record. Then it did
$80.5 million for the full day Friday,
second only to the Harry Potter
nales $91.1 million rst day.
Revenues held up much better than
expected with $69.7 million Saturday,
and Disney estimated that the lm
would bring in $50.1 million more on
Sunday.
The record weekend was the culmi-
nation of years of careful planning by
Marvel Studios, which has included
teasers for an Avengers dream team
collaboration in its solo superhero
adventures.
Directed by Joss Whedon (Buffy
the Vampire Slayer), The
Avengers features Robert Downey
Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as
Captain America, Chris Hemsworth
as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk,
Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow,
Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye and
Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.
A $200 million total for every
movie in release is considered a great
weekend for the business as a whole,
so The Avengers redenes the stan-
dards for a blockbuster debut.
If The Avengers is any indica-
tion, were going to see a leap rather
than a gentle little nudge into new ter-
ritory, and the lineup is there to justi-
fy it going forward, said Greg Foster,
chairman of IMAX cinema chain.

had been a carriage salesman,
teamed up with a partner and
formed the Durant-Dort Carriage
Company in Flint, Mich. In 1904,
he became general manager of
Buick and continued moving the
company into a uid and economi-
cally sound institution. Durant was
restless, however, and he had bigger
dreams. In 1908, he formed a new
concept, General Motors, a multi-
layer company he envisioned sell-
ing cars to a targeted market. He
bought Oldsmobile, followed by
Oakland, Cadillac (eventually a
total of 13 companies) and some
parts companies. He also conceived
of the automobile dealer franchises
and, at his rst auto show in New
York, he sold orders for 1,108
Buicks. What a salesman.
By 1920, he had bought
Chevrolet and Republic Motors but,
by 1920, he lost control of General
Motors to the DuPont interests.
In the early 1900s, more than
1,000 companies were building and
trying to sell cars. The market was
thinned out over time and consoli-
dations worked in favor of the buy-
ing public.
Fords Model T was to sell over
16 million automobiles before
1927. Henry Ford was forced by his
son, Edsel, and his backers to
change the model and the Model A
rolled off of the assembly line. No
longer did the owner have to crank
the engine to get it started and
brakes were now on all wheels
(instead of the transmission being
the brake). With the newer steel-
welded spoke wheels, lower pres-
sure balloon tires no longer ew off
of the rim when a blowout occurred.
Safety glass (instead of dangerous
plate glass) in the windshield was
standard now. The new car used a
standardized, left side steering
wheel and three gears forward (with
reverse) and the gas tank was above
the engine (dangerous). The 177-
cubic-inch front mounted inline
four-cylinder engine with a speed of
45 to 50 mph was replaced by a
201-cubic-inch engine (with a speed
of 55 to 60 mph), giving the Model
A sufcient power so it no longer
had to be backed up the steeper hills
to get over them. The price was still
dropping and they went for $385 (a
roadster went for $1,400), in a price
range that almost everyone could
afford.
With the advent of the automobile
in the society, the infrastructure had
to be improved. California devel-
oped an agency for autos (the
Department of Motor Vehicles) and
new and improved roads was its rst
goal. Speed limits had to be agreed
on and road signs became standard-
ized. Gas stations sprung up to serv-
ice the new-fangled machines and it
wasnt long before automobile
courts (motels) were being built.
The revolution had only begun to
cater to this multi-billion dollar
institution.

HISTORY
KABUL, Afghanistan An
Afghan soldier killed one U.S.
marine and wounded another before
being shot to death in return re
Sunday in southern Afghanistan, the
latest in a series of attacks against
foreigners blamed on government
forces within their own ranks.
Nearly 20 such attacks this year
have raised the level of mistrust
between the U.S.-led coalition and
their Afghan partners as NATO
gears up to hand over security to
local forces ahead of a 2014 dead-
line for the withdrawal of combat
troops.
In another sign of deteriorating
security, the United States is consid-
ering abandoning plans for a con-
sulate in the countrys north because
the building chosen was deemed too
dangerous to occupy.
The U.S. spent $80 million on
the project despite glaring security
deficiencies in the former hotel,
according to a copy of a document
drafted by the U.S. Embassy in
Kabul.
Afghan soldier fires on NATO troops
U.S. airstrike kills senior
al-Qaida leader in Yemen
SANAA, Yemen An airstrike
Sunday killed a top al-Qaida leader
on the FBIs most wanted list for his
role in the 2000 bombing of the USS
Cole warship, Yemeni ofcials said.
The drone attack was carried out by
the CIA, U.S. ofcials said.
Fahd al-Quso was hit by a missile
as he stepped out of his vehicle,
along with another al-Qaida opera-
tive in the southern Shabwa
province, Yemeni military ofcials
said. They were speaking on condi-
tion of anonymity in accordance
with military regulations.
The drone strike that killed Quso
was carried out by the CIA, after an
extended surveillance operation by
the CIA and U.S. military, two U.S.
ofcials said. They spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because they
were not authorized to speak to the
media.
Angry Greeks
redraw election map
ATHENS, Greece Furious
Greeks punished the two parties that
have dominated politics for decades
in the crisis-battered country
Sunday, leaving its multibillion dol-
lar international bailout and even
its future in the euro currency
hanging in the balance.
With nearly 80 percent of the vote
counted, Greece appeared to be
heading toward political stalemate.
Nobody won enough votes to form a
government, and the two parties that
backed the bailout the conserva-
tive New Democracy and socialist
PASOK conceded they need to
win over adversaries to form a
viable coalition.
World briefs
PARIS Socialist Francois
Hollande defeated conservative
incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy on
Sunday to become Frances next
president, heralding a change in how
Europe tackles its debt crisis and how
France exes its military and diplo-
matic muscle around the world.
Exuberant, diverse crowds lled
the Place de la Bastille, the iconic
plaza of the French Revolution, to
fete Hollandes victory, waving
French, European and labor union
ags and climbing its central column.
Leftists are overjoyed to have one of
their own in power for the rst time
since Socialist Francois Mitterrand
was president from 1981 to 1995.
Austerity can no longer be
inevitable! Hollande declared in his
victory speech Sunday night after a
surprising campaign that saw him
transform from an unremarkable,
mild gure to an increasingly states-
manlike one.

PTA, he said.
This year, Fonds second year partici-
pating, his little brother is joining in the
effort of fundraising. Dont worry, their
dad, David Fond, comes along while
theyre out raising funds.
It seems like a lot of work, but it will
benefit Fond. Proceeds support the
schools PTA to help cover costs for
things like music, physical education
and eld trips.
Co-chair Karen Hirschmann noted
how surprised everyone was to see
Fonds pledges last year.
We just couldnt believe it, she said.
One nal step is needed for Fond to
earn those funds walking.
Friday afternoon for an hour, Fond
will join his classmates in walking
around a track. There is music and each
child gets a T-shirt that features artwork
created by students.
Anyone wishing to support the Walk-
A-Thon can send or drop off a check to
the Lincoln PTA at Lincoln Elementary
School, 1801 Devereux Drive,
Burlingame.
FOND
approved, the transfer would go into
effect July 1, 2013.
Ballots must be received by the
Elections Ofce by 8 p.m. Tuesday,
May 8, said Elections Manager David
Tom. One unique aspect of this election
is that the ballots will be counted by
hand. Tom explained the hand count is a
requirement but it also doesnt make
nancial sense to create a program for
such a small election. Tom, who has
been working for the Elections Ofce
since 2001, has never participated in an
election that required a hand count.
To obtain a hearing on the proposal,
Bendick gathered signatures from 25
percent of the registered voters in the
area. He previously shared his hope that
the four districts will be amenable to the
change noting its a small number of
houses with none of the children cur-
rently enrolled in their assigned district.
The petition aims to move properties
within 2020 to 2098 Fairmont Drive and
2025 to 2089 Fairmont Drive, according
to the petition.
The location of the homes, by De
Anza Boulevard and on the north side of
State Route 92, makes walking to the
assigned Belmont schools difficult.
Since the mid-1980s, families have been
able to choose which of the four districts
they would like to send their children.
Many families in the neighborhood have
chosen to have students attend schools in
San Mateo.
Currently, Belmont-Redwood Shores
Elementary and Sequoia Union High
school districts together have parcel
taxes ranging from $187.50 to $192.72
per parcel and the San Mateo-Foster
City Elementary School District has par-
cel taxes of $274.88 per parcel. The San
Mateo Union High School District has
no parcel taxes. Transferring the territo-
ry would result in the San Mateo-Foster
City Elementary School District receiv-
ing an additional $9,345.92, Belmont-
Redwood Shores Elementary would lose
$5,568, and Sequoia Union High
District will lose $489.06 annually in
parcel taxes, according to an impartial
analysis of the measure.
Parcel owners collectively pay
$13,735 annually to Belmont-Redwood
Shores Elementary and Sequoia Union,
an average of $292.23 per parcel. If
transferred, property owners would pay
a total of $12,805 annually to San
Mateo-Foster City Elementary and San
Mateo Union, an average of $272.45 per
household a savings of $19.78,
according to the impartial analysis.
Ballots must be received by 8 p.m.
Tuesday, May 8. Those which have not
yet been mailed should be dropped off at
the Elections Ofce, 40 Tower Road,
San Mateo.
BALLOTS
The Parineh childrens attorneys have
previously declined to comment on the
civil suits while the matter is ongoing.
According to the suit, the three chil-
dren are currently co-trustees of the
Parineh Family Irrevocable Trust created
in June 1996. Guiv Parineh was named
the original trustee but the children were
added in February 2010. The trusts
assets included a life insurance policy on
Parima Parineh and another policy
payable only after both parents died. The
suit claims $2 million was added in July
2007 but that Guiv Parineh converted the
full amount to their father for his own
personal use. In fall 2008, the suit claims
Guiv Parineh again violated his duciary
and trustee duties by transferring Parima
Parinehs $1 million life policy to her
husband and making him the beneci-
ary. A $180,000 loan taken out against a
second policy was give to Peter Parineh
by Guiv Parineh for his own use, too, the
suit claims.
The children say they did not learn of
the trust assets being converted until
2011, the year after Peter Parineh was
charged with the potentially capital
charges of murder, gun use and murder
for financial gain. Parineh, who has
pleaded not guilty, is scheduled for jury
trial Oct. 1. He remains in custody with-
out bail and has been granted a court-
appointed attorney after claiming he
cannot afford private counsel.
Parima Parineh, 56, was shot twice in
the head in the bedroom of the couples
multi-million dollar home on Fox Hill
Road in Woodside. At a preliminary
hearing last fall, the prosecution argued
Parineh stood to benet from $31 mil-
lion in life insurance policies and, out-
side court, said he also had a longtime
mistress.
Parineh allegedly gave authorities dif-
fering stories; once, he said he found his
wife dead and, another time, that he
found her wounded and nished the job
at her request. Criminalists said none of
the four shots could have been self-
inicted. The gun was the only weapon
of Parinehs not conscated earlier by
law enforcement after his wife allegedly
tried to commit suicide.
At the time of his wifes death,
Parineh was $13 million to $14 million
in debt and his life of foreclosures
included the Fox Hill home and several
properties scattered throughout the state,
including Byron, Hayward, Sunnyvale
and Dixon. His wife had a number of life
insurance policies totaling $31 million
but they had a lien against them and
were about to end without payment.
In April, the Parineh children sued
their father for wrongful death, claiming
that she survived the attack for some
period of time before dying as a result
and that they also believe his purpose in
willfully and maliciously murdering
her was to benet nancially from cer-
tain life insurance payouts. In that case,
the Parineh children seek damages for
their mothers death, her property which
they say was destroyed and funeral
expenses. The suit also requests punitive
damages to punish Parineh and argue
theyve been damaged by the death
through the loss of their mothers love
and comfort.
In the new case, the Parineh children
are demanding the approximate
$3,930,000 value of the converted poli-
cies, the cost of pursuing the suit and
damages.

Woman killed in head-on crash
A 20-year-old San Jose woman was
killed in a head-on collision in Half
Moon Bay late Saturday night, accord-
ing to the California Highway Patrol.
Ofcers responded to reports of a col-
lision on state Highway 1 south of
Miramontes Point Road just before mid-
night, CHP Ofcer Art Montiel said.
According to a preliminary investiga-
tion, a 44-year-old woman from San
Gregorio was driving north on Highway
1 in a 1997 Dodge Caravan when she
drifted into oncoming trafc, Montiel
said.
The Dodge struck a 2003 Honda Civic
being driven by the victim, according to
the CHP. The victim died at the scene.
The driver of the Dodge was extricat-
ed from her vehicle and taken to
Stanford University Hospital with major
injuries.
It had not been determined if drugs or
alcohol were factors in the crash.
Local brief
MONDAY, MAY 7, 2012
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Watch how you phrase
your requests, or they could come out sounding more
like demands than appeals. Try to see things from
the others perspectives.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Strive to be a bit more
comforting than annoyed if your mate is in a grumpy
mood. Calming words could be the elixir that would
work wonders on fraying nerves.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The only way youll
have anything worthwhile to show for your time is to
apply industry, not apathy. Nothing will get done if all
you do is voice excuses and neglect your duties.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A lot of discipline will be
required in the management of your resources. To
make matters worse, an additional dosage may be
necessary in the handling of others funds as well.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Unless youre careful,
you could stoop to taking out your frustration on those
for whom you care the most, only because you know
theyre the ones wholl take it without complaint.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Dont attempt to use fat-
tery, subterfuge or insincerity when trying to make
a pitch for something you want. Those you deal with
will be able to perceive your motives.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If your judgment
is based on pure emotion, you may have trouble
distinguishing between those to whom you should be
generous and those who dont deserve anything.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be careful that you
dont wrongly cater to someone who never has and
never will do you any good, while barely acknowl-
edging one who has helped you out previously and
would again.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Dont let yourself
become entranced with someone who is already
committed. Youd be asking for trouble if you tres-
pass in forbidden territory.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Treat all business
endeavors seriously, but especially those involving
people you know socially. Unless that distinction is
clearly marked, youll be asking for trouble.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Should you fnd that
your companions are only partially in accord with your
purposes, causing you to attempt to manipulate them
into agreement, theyll be even more disenchanted.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Persons who are under
your directives might need some skillful handling.
Unless you can fnd a way to inspire them, they
arent likely to accomplish much of anything.

penses and advances at the time of the

ty Recorder's Office. NOTICE TO PO-
TENTIAL BIDDERS If you are consider-
ing bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are risks in-
volved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on a
property itself. Placing the highest bid at
a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear ownership of
the property. You should also be aware
that the lien being auctioned off may be a
junior lien. If you are the highest bidder
at the auction, you are or may be respon-
sible for paying off all liens senior to the
lien being auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property. You
are encouraged to investigate the exis-
tence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder's office or
a title insurance company, either of
which may charge you a fee for this infor-
mation. If you consult either of these re-
sources, you should be aware that the
lender may hold more than one mort-
gage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a
court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale post-
ponements be made available to you and
to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been post-
poned, and, if applicable, the resched-
uled time and date for the sale of this
property, you may call 1-800-281-8219
or visit this Internet Web site www.recon-
trustco.com, using the file number as-
signed to this case 12-0000021. Infor-
mation about postponements that are
very short in duration or that occur close
in time to the scheduled sale may not im-
mediately be reflected in the telephone
information or on the Internet Web site.
The best way to verify postponement in-
formation is to attend the scheduled sale.

WORLD 28
By Candice Choi
NEW YORK Russians prefer
their Lays potato chips dusted in
caviar and crab avors. The Chinese
like their Oreos stuffed with mango
and orange cream. And in Spain,
Kelloggs All-Bran cereal is served
oating in hot coffee instead of cold
milk.
Americans might get squeamish at
the thought of their favorite snacks
being tweaked. But what works in the
U.S. doesnt always work every-
where.
In other words, Lee Linthicum, a
market researcher, says: It cant be
some generic mix of spices that
might fool an American.
Food makers long have tinkered
with their products to appeal to
regional tastes, but getting the recipe
just right is becoming more impor-
tant than ever. Thats partly because
people in developing nations such as
China and India are gaining more of
an appetite for American-style on-
the-go foods as they work longer
hours and have less time to cook. But
its mostly because snack makers
increasingly are looking for growth
in other parts of the world as sales
slow at home.
Growth in the snack food industry
has been virtually at in the U.S. for
the past two years, according to mar-
ket research rm Euromonitor.
Meanwhile, combined sales in China,
Brazil and Russia three major
developing markets rose 15 per-
cent in 2010 and 11 percent last year
to $17 billion. Thats half the size of
the U.S. market but its growing.
The challenge for snack makers is
that people in other countries have
different tastes. Consider the Oreo,
which Kraft Food Inc. introduced in
China in 1996. Sales of the vanilla
cream-lled chocolate cookie sand-
wich were respectable there, but the
Chinese didnt completely take to it.
So Kraft decided to tweak the
Oreo. But executives of the
Northeld, Ill.-based company knew
that they had to proceed with caution.
When you have a brand thats 100
years old, you dont mess with the
recipe thoughtlessly, says Lorna
Davis, head of the companys global
biscuit and cookies business.
In 2006, Kraft began offering the
Oreo as a wafer, a popular cookie
throughout Asia. It is made up of
cream sandwiched between crispy
wafers. The plan was to help famil-
iarize more Chinese customers with
the brand. Three years later, the com-
pany decided to go a step further.
Kraft worked with a panel of con-
sumer taste experts from around the
world to identify the characteristics of
the Oreo including color, crunchi-
ness, bitterness, color that were
likely to appeal to Chinese tastes.
Executives learned through research
that the Chinese dont like their treats
as big or as sweet as Americans do.
So the company rejiggered the recipe
to create a cookie that was a tad
smaller and a touch less sweet.
To test the new recipe, hundreds of
Chinese consumers tasted the new
Oreo. It was a hit.
But the company wasnt nished.
After noticing sales of Oreos were
lagging in China during the summer,
Kraft added a green tea ice cream a-
vor. The cookie combined a popular
local avor with the cooling imagery
of ice cream. The green tea version
sold well, and a year later, Kraft
rolled out Oreos in avors that are
popular in Asians desserts rasp-
berry-and-blueberry and mango-and-
orange.
