HOUSE VOTES TO HOLD EX-IRS OFFICIAL IN CONTEMPT
Analyst says
state facing
$340B debt
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO California
faces $340 billion in debts, or more
than $8,500 for each of its 38 mil-
lion residents, the nonpartisan
Legislative Analysts Ofce said
Wednesday in recommending that
the state set priorities for paying
down its key long-term liabilities.
The state should rst address the
$73.7 billion shortfall in the teach-
ers retirement system, a debt that
could cost the state, teachers and
school districts a combined $5 bil-
lion a year to resolve over 30 years.
Without changes, the system serv-
ing 868,000 members is projected
to run out of money by 2046.
Paying down the $64.6 billion
shortfall in health benets for
277,000 retired state employees
and their depend-
ents should
come next. That
could cost the
state $1.8 bil-
lion a year over
30 years, the
analyst said, but
getting started
sooner would
d r a ma t i c a l l y
reduce costs over the long run.
The report comes a month before
the states budget is due and feeds
legislative debates over whether the
state should spend or save its budg-
et surplus and how to create a rainy
day fund that would go before voters
in November for their approval. It
was released a week before Gov.
Jerry Brown unveils his revised

After more than 30 years of
teaching the fourth-grade at
Hillsboroughs South Elementary
School, Sandy Feinn was moved
to transitional kindergarten, or
TK, much to the dismay of many
community members who say she
is a better t for older children.
When parents found out last
week that Principal Elizabeth Veal
had made the change, a
Change.org petition called Use
Our School District Assets Wisely
Take a stand against moving
Sandy Feinn to Transitional
Kindergarten began to circulate
with many parents feeling like the
decision was either not wise or
was in retaliation for voicing
opposition to the district admin-
istration. Feinn has led a formal
grievance with the teachers union
about the decision to move her.
What were struggling with is
the accountability of the adminis-
tration and board of how our funds
are being allocated, said parent
Margo Smith, who had four kids in
the district. Why is a fourth-grade
teacher with 31 years of experi-
ence going to be transitioned to a
TK program? Theres a whole
group of parents who are just say-
ing look, we pay a lot of money
for our schools, we want to invest
in them wisely.
Superintendent Anthony Ranii
said the decision to move Feinn
from teaching 10-year-olds to 4-
year-olds was well thought out
though and the principal ultimate-
ly made the best choice based on
her sound judgment.

Tree-trimming
operation in Oakland kills birds
OAKLAND Federal and state
wildlife ofcials are investigating a
tree-trimming operation in Oakland
that witnesses say sent baby birds
into a wood chipper, a newspaper
reported.
Horried onlookers called police on
Saturday, as crews ground up black-
crowned night heron bird chicks that
were nesting in trees being trimmed in
the downtown area.
It was awful, said Lisa Owens
Viani, director of Raptors Are The
Solution, who was among the rst on
the scene. Its especially appalling
because these birds are so vulnerable
and such a valuable part of the ecosys-
tem.
Police stopped the work, and Viani
and others were able to rescue ve
chicks.
The tree branches were being taken
down by a company called Campos
Tree Service at the request of the U.S.
Postal Service. Postal ofcials were
concerned about birds defecating on
mail trucks.
Joe Campos, a supervisor with
Campos Tree Service, said the crew
was new and didnt know the baby
birds were in there.
Its a big deal, though. We dont
want to destroy anything, he said.
Postal service spokesman Augustine
Ruiz said the incident was a terrible
accident, and he understood why peo-
ple were upset.
Black-crowned night herons are pro-
tected by state and federal laws and are
left alone by city work crews in
Oakland.
The nest destruction may have vio-
lated the U.S. Migratory Bird Treaty
Act. State and federal officials are
investigating, said Andrew Hughan, a
spokesman for the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife.
If we decide to pursue this matter, it
would most likely be criminal and go
through a district attorney, he said.
Texas man allegedly
charged migrants $400 each
CANON CITY, Colo. A man
accused of transporting 11 Mexican
citizens through southern Colorado
allegedly charged each of them $400
to take them from Texas to California
to work on farms.
Forty-five-year-old Dagoberto
Avila, of Rosenburg, Texas was arrest-
ed Friday near Penrose after state
troopers pulled him over for suspected
drunken driving.
The Canon City Daily Record
reported Wednesday that the arrest af-
davit says that troopers didnt nd any
evidence of that but they were suspi-
cious because there were so many peo-
ple crammed into the Nissan van.
The passengers included six adults
and ve children whom investigators
say admitted to being in the country
illegally.
He is being held on 11 counts of
human smuggling. Its not clear if he
has a lawyer. Charges could be led
against him at a May 21 hearing.
New Jersey fire siren
silenced by osprey nest
SPRING LAKE, N.J. A pair of
ospreys has quieted a re alarm in one
New Jersey shore town.
The raptors have built a nest inside
the re siren at Spring Lake. By law,
the nest cant be disturbed. Ospreys
are listed as a threatened species in
New Jersey during their breeding sea-
son.
So the siren has been turned off for
the spring and summer, while reght-
ers and paramedics rely on pagers and
cellphones to alert them of emergen-
cies.
Borough Administrator Bryan
Dempsey said a police ofcer notied
him in March that an osprey appeared
to be building a nest on the siren,
which is mounted on a pole about 100
feet off the ground behind the police,
re and rst aid squad headquarters.
We had to shut off the siren for the
rest of the season, he said.
First responders in the resort about
60 miles north of Atlantic City say so
far things have been working smooth-
l y.

A Half Moon Bay man accused of fatally
stabbing and bludgeoning a friend at his
fathers Pacica home before dragging the
body outside in a bid to hide was found men-
tally competent Wednesday to stand trial on
murder and weapons charges.
Two court-appointed doctors had found
Marc Furlan capable of aiding in his own
defense but his attorney challenged the nd-
ings and asked for a trial. Both the defense
and prosecutor agree to leave the decision to
a judge rather than a jury and the result was
Furlan being deemed competent. Criminal
proceedings which had been on hold since
August were reinstated
and Furlan returns to court
June 5 to set a trial date.
Furlan is charged in the
Oct. 17, 2002, death of
Keith Coffey. Furlan and
Coffey, 24, were acquain-
tances and reportedly
argued before Coffeys
death at the Dell Road
home of Furlans father.
Prosecutors say Furlan stabbed and beat
Coffey with a knife and hammer, leaving
more than 50 wounds to his body. Two ten-
ants ed the scene and contacted police who
found Coffey in front of the home around
5:15 a.m. He was reportedly trying to clean
up the scene by dragging the body outside,
leaving a large trail of blood from the
house.
A clear motive in the murder has never
been publicly stated. Coffeys death was the
rst murder in Pacica since 2000.
In March 2013, prosecutors avoided a pre-
liminary hearing on the evidence by asking
the criminal grand jury to indict Furlan on
the charges. The indictment moved him
directly into Superior Court but prosecution
came to a halt when the defense questioned
his competency. Sanity is ones mental
state at the time of an alleged crime while
competency is his or her ability to aid in
ones own defense.
Furlan remains in custody without bail.

SACRAMENTO A judge ruled
Wednesday that Secretary of State Debra
Bowen erred by deciding that tens of thou-
sands of criminals who are serving sen-
tences under community supervision are
ineligible to vote.
The ruling stemmed from the states three-
year-old criminal justice realignment law,
which is reducing overcrowding in state
prisons by sentencing people convicted of
less serious crimes to county jails or alter-
native treatment programs.
The American Civil Liberties Union and
other groups sued on behalf of nearly
60,000 convicts who previously would
have been ineligible to vote because they
were on state parole.
Under realignment, however, they are
now sentenced either to mandatory supervi-
sion or post-release community supervi-
sion. Bowens legal analysis said that was
functionally equivalent to parole.
Alameda County Superior Court Judge
Evelio Grillo disagreed.
The court nds the secretarys function-
al equivalency analysis unsound and lack-
ing legal support, Grillo said in the ruling.
Grillo said three of the states appellate
courts recently ruled in unrelated cases that
community supervision is not parole. The
Legislature has been silent on the issue.
Bowens ofce did not return repeated tele-
phone and email messages seeking com-
ment.
Michael Risher, an attorney with the
ACLU of Northern California, said in a
statement that the ruling was a victory for
democracy.
The judge agreed with the plaintiffs that
part of the goal of the realignment law was
to encourage rehabilitation, and that partic-
ipating in society by voting is a reasonable
part of that effort.
Judge: Some California convicts eligible to vote

A wigged San Mateo bank rob-
bery suspect nabbed for the bomb-
threat heist after police responded
to a medical call at a motel and dis-
covered the phony detonator and
distinctive costume was sentenced
Wednesday to a year in jail which
he can spent in a residential treat-
ment program.
Gerard Joseph Myer, 53, also
received three years of supervised
probation and was ordered to pay
back $4,336. He has credit of 300
days against his sentence earned
while in custody on $50,000 bail.
The remainder of the time can be
served in a rehab program.
Myer pleaded no contest to
felony robbery for the Oct. 1,
2013, incident in which he report-
edly entered a Wells Fargo bank on
Fourth Avenue wearing a costume
wig/hat combination and sun-
glasses. The suspect handed a
teller a note and she reported see-
ing what she thought was a bomb
detonator in his hand and lled his
bag with $7,721. Just before the
robbery, a worker had spotted him
adjusting his wig and hat in the
reective glass of a nearby busi-
ness and took a photo which
police later used on a ier seeking
information.
Six days later, Myer called for
help at the Vagabond Inn in
Burlingame because his girlfriend
was having a seizure. Police
reported recognizing Myer from
the photo and recovering the wig,
T-shirt and detonator from the rob-
bery. Police also found $868 in
cash.

ACalifornia transportation of-
cial says leaks found on the new
eastern span of the San Francisco-
Oakland Bay Bridge that are allow-
ing rainwater to seep into the
structure should not result in more
maintenance costs.
The Department of
Transportation toll bridge pro-
gram manager Tony Anziano on
Tuesday said the leaks were expect-
ed, not a defect. Anziano says
minor surface rust has appeared
inside the new bridge because of
the leaks, but that the bridge con-
tractor is required to remove it, and
to repaint and seal problem areas
before the project is complete.
He says the leaks will not cause
more in maintenance costs over
the 150-year life of the span, and
do not pose safety concerns.
Leaks on new Bay Bridge wont spur further costs

WASHINGTON House Republicans
voted Wednesday to hold a former Internal
Revenue Service official in contempt of
Congress for refusing to testify at a pair of
committee hearings about her role in the
agencys tea party controversy.
The House also passed a nonbinding reso-
lution calling on the Justice Department to
appoint a special counsel to investigate the
IRS.
Lois Lerner directed the IRS division that
processes applications for tax-exempt sta-
tus. Ayear ago this week, Lerner publicly dis-
closed that agents had improperly singled
out tea party applications for extra, some-
times burdensome scrutiny.
An inspector generals report blamed poor
management but found no evidence of a polit-
ical conspiracy. Many Republicans in
Congress believe otherwise.
Whos been red over the targeting of
conservative groups by the IRS? No one that
Im aware of, House Speaker John Boehner,
R-Ohio, said Wednesday. Whos gone to jail
for violating the law? When is the adminis-
tration going to tell the American people the
truth?
House Democrats said Wednesdays voting
was little more than an election-year ploy to
re up the GOP base.
Instead of passing bipartisan legislation
to create more jobs, reform immigration,
raise the minimum wage or address any num-
ber of issues that affect our constituents
every single day, House Republicans are
spending this entire week trying to manufac-
ture scandals for political purposes, said
Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the top
Democrat on the House Oversight
Committee.
Welcome to witch hunt week, said Rep.
Jim McGovern, D-Mass.
The vote to hold Lerner in contempt of
Congress was 231 to 187, with all
Republicans voting in favor and all but a few
Democrats voting against.
Lerner invoked her Fifth Amendment right
not to answer questions at a pair of hearings
by the House Oversight Committee. House
Republicans say she waived her constitution-
al right by making an opening statement in
which she proclaimed her innocence.
The matter now goes to Ronald Machen,
the U.S. attorney for the District of
Columbia. Federal law says Machen has a
duty to bring the matter before a grand jury.
But a report by the nonpartisan
Congressional Research Service said it was
unclear whether the duty is mandatory or dis-
cretionary. Machen was appointed to his job
by President Barack Obama.

at the Environmental Protection Agency
says he will direct a security unit run by
political staff to seek permission to share
information with the inspector generals
ofce. The announcement comes after inves-
tigators accused the unit of blocking inde-
pendent investigations at the agency.
Bob Perciasepe, deputy administrator of
EPA, told a House oversight committee
Wednesday that the agencys political staff
doesnt want to have a problem with the
inspector general.
Patrick Sullivan, the top investigator with
the inspector generals ofce, told Congress
that the 10-person Office of Homeland
Security within the administrators ofce
has for years systematically refused to share
information, citing national security.
Obama: U.S. will help

VILONIA, Ark. Surveying the remnants

midsection, President Barack Obama pledged
Wednesday to residents of tornado-ravaged
Arkansas communities that their govern-

rebuilding.
Obama said he wanted to visit this small
city about a half-hour north of Little Rock to
make sure those grieving the loss of loved
ones, their homes and treasured possessions
know that they will not be forgotten.

SACRAMENTO The board that over-
sees Californias $68 billion high-speed
rail project voted Wednesday to unani-
mously adopt a planned route for its second
and most substantial section to date, a 114-
mile stretch between Fresno and
Bakersfield.
Meeting in Fresno, the board voted 7-0
to approve a 20,000-page environmental
planning document, sending the next
phase of the project on for federal review.
Wednesdays approval represents a sig-
nificant step in the planning for the proj-
ect, which has been stalled repeatedly by
unfavorable legal rulings, delays in acquir-
ing land in the Central Valley, and a lack of
funding. Engineering work has started on
the first, much shorter section, a 30-mile
segment from Merced to Fresno.
The environmental document includes
plans to address air quality during construc-
tion, add green space to compensate for
damaged habitat and prevent the spread of
the highly contagious fungal disease
known as Valley fever. The complex review
is required to comply with state and federal
environmental laws and has been in the
works since 2011.
The selected route goes from downtown
Fresno, around Hanford, where local criti-
cism of the project has been the strongest,
and stops just north of Bakersfield for now,
after city officials raised concerns about a
downtown station that would encroach on
historic properties.
Despite the length of the report and a
4,800-page response to comments from
the California High-Speed Rail Authority,
critics of the project said many of their
concerns were not addressed in the final
report. They also criticized the board for
giving the public three weeks to respond
and for failing to include 35 letters from
the public when the report was posted
online, which authority officials called a
clerical error.
The board held a two-day meeting to
allow for more Central Valley residents to
attend, many of whom complained about
the harm to or loss of their property
because of the bullet train.
This project is being rushed. Rushed
equates to more litigation and less quali-
t y, said Colleen Carlson, counsel for
Kings County.

LONG BEACH Scientists collecting
kelp from along the West Coast say theres
no sign of radiation contamination from the
2011 Japanese nuclear disaster.
Steven Manley, a marine biology profes-

Beach, says the lack of detection should
reassure people that the coastline is safe.
In 2011, a magnitude-9 earthquake rocked
Japan and crippled the Fukushima nuclear
plant, leaking radiation into the Pacic.
Kelp act like sponges, absorbing different
materials. But a study of kelp samples gath-
ered from Alaska to Baja California earlier
this year didnt turn up any traces of radioac-
tive material.
Researchers plan to repeat the experiment

WASHINGTON Top health insurance
companies told members of Congress
Wednesday that more than 80 percent of
people whove signed up under the presi-
dents new health care law have gone on to
pay their premiums a necessary step for
the enrollment gures touted by the Obama
administration to hold up.
Aetna reported payment rates in the low-
to mid-80 percent range; Wellpoint said
the rate was as high as 90 percent for those
whose premium had come due; the Blue
Cross and Blue Shield Association said 80
to 85 percent; and the Health Care Service
Corporation, which sells Blue Cross Blue
Shield plans in ve states, pegged the rate at
83 percent or above. The gures were in line
with what individual insurers have said on
earnings calls with analysts and elsewhere
in recent weeks.
Democrats seized on the gures disclosed
at a House hearing as the latest sign that the
health care law has deed its critics and is
working.
By any rational, reasonable measure we
can call this law a success, said Rep. Diana
DeGette, D-Colo.
Republicans said plenty more questions
remained including whether rates will
rise next year and by how much, and how
many of those covered were previously
uninsured.
While the administration toasts the
laws success with its Hollywood allies,
declaring this conversation over, we will
continue our pursuit for facts, said Rep.
Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the
Energy and Commerce Committee.
The six insurance industry witnesses sum-
moned by an investigations subcommittee
of the Energy and Commerce Committee
were unable to provide details on coming
rate changes or how many people were pre-
viously uninsured, prompting frustration at
times from Republicans whod called the
hearing.
It is bafing that we can have some of
our nations largest insurers and you all
dont have any internal analysis as to what
these rates are, complained Rep. Marsha
Blackburn, R-Tenn.
In response to that question and others,
insurers responded that the calculations
were not completed or the data were not yet
available.
We just dont have access to those num-
bers, said Dennis Matheis, an executive at
Wellpoint, Inc.
Health insurers: Payment
rates rise above 80 percent
WASHINGTON House Republicans on
Wednesday moved toward an election-year
special investigation of the deadly attack
on a U.S. diplomatic post in Libya, brush-
ing aside Democratic concerns over the
panels scope and composition. The Obama
administration, meanwhile, accused
Republicans of political motivation after
they issued a fundraising email linked to the
Benghazi probe.
Ahead of a Thursday vote to rubber-stamp
the establishment of the Benghazi select
committee, House Speaker John Boehner
vowed that the examination would be all
about getting to the truth of the Obama
administrations response to the attack and
not be a partisan, election-year circus.
This is a serious investigation, he said,
accusing the president and his team of with-
holding the true story of how militants
killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three
other Americans on Sept. 11, 2012.
Democrats pondered a boycott while wait-
ing for Boehner to respond to demand from
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi that he scrap
his plan for a committee of seven
Republicans and ve Democrats. Democrats
insisted membership should be evenly
split, and urged time and cost constraints
for a forum they likened to a kangaroo
court designed only to drum up GOP sup-
port ahead of the November elections.
Under Boehners legislation, the select
panel can go on forever, Rep. Xavier
Becerra, D-Calif., told reporters. The
amount of money they can spend is unde-
ned and can be unlimited.

Democratic nominee Clay Aiken signs an autograph for a constituent after a campaign forum
in Cary, N.C.
RALEIGH, N.C. Former American
Idol runner-up Clay Aiken held a slight
edge over textile entrepreneur Keith
Crisco in a congressional primary elec-
tion Wednesday, with officials working to
count every last ballot before declaring a
winner.
There were less than 400 votes separat-
ing the Democratic Party candidates in the
Republican-leaning 2nd Congressional
District. The winner faces Republican
incumbent Renee Ellmers who was first
elected in the tea party wave of 2010 in
November.
Both Aiken and Crisco, once the states
top business recruiter under Gov. Beverly
Perdue, have cast themselves as centrists.
Both will have to overcome the districts
strong bloc of evangelical Christian vot-
ers who tend to vote Republican. Aiken
has said previously that he doesnt
believe the fact he is gay will affect
whether people vote for him.
The state elections board on Wednesday
showed the latest unofficial results giving
Aiken the 40 percent of the tally that he
needs to avoid a runoff election in July
and a margin big enough that Crisco cant
request a recount.
Aiken was carefully watching the num-
bers, spokeswoman Tucker Middleton
said.
Its close, but were confident, she
said.
But almost 400 absentee ballots issued
had not been returned, according to data
provided Wednesday by the state elections
board. Absentee ballots and provisional
ballots those cast by voters who may
not be properly registered wont be tal-
lied until Tuesday, state elections board
spokesman Josh Lawson said.
It was not yet clear how many provi-
sional ballots were pending a decision on
whether they were properly cast, he said.
Crisco planned to wait until at least
Thursday to consider a next step,
spokesman Aaron Fiedler said in an email.
This election is still very tight,
Crisco said in a statement.
ATLANTA Establishment Republican
Thom Tillis victory in the Senate primary
in North Carolina has spurred both sides to
draw battle lines that could frame Senate
races across the nation.
After dispatching several tea party and
Christian-right rivals on Tuesday, Tillis
quickly cast Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan as
an acolyte of President Barack Obama.
Hagan countered just as fast, painting the
speaker of the North Carolina House as the
face of Republican extremism.
Its a strategic model that could help deter-
mine who controls the Senate after
November, with similar themes playing out
in Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana
and Kentucky. Whether Republicans can
gain the six seats required to control the
100-member chamber will have an impact
on Obamas inuence during his nal two
years in the White House as well as his lega-
cy. Hagan is one of the Democrats most
vulnerable incumbents, in part because she
voted with Obama and Majority Leader
Harry Reid on health care, scal issues and
more.
Kay Hagan and Harry Reid are nothing
but an echo chamber for President Obamas
worst ideas, Tillis told supporters Tuesday
night, moments after drawing about 46 per-
cent of the vote, eclipsing the 40 percent
required to win without a runoff.

Islamic militant attack
in Nigeria kills hundreds
By Michelle Faul and Andrew Meldrum
LAGOS, Nigeria Islamic militants who have triggered
international outrage over the kidnapping of more than 270
Nigerian schoolgirls opened re on a busy marketplace,
killing hundreds of people in a new spasm of violence in the
countrys northeast.
The attack escalates Nigerias growing crisis from a cam-
paign of bombings, massacres and abductions being waged
by the Boko Haram terrorist network in its campaign to
impose an Islamic state on Africas most populous nation.
As many as 300 people were killed in the assault late
Monday on the town of Gamboru Ngala on Nigerias border
with Cameroon. The extremists opened re on a market-
place bustling with shoppers taking advantage of the cool-
er nighttime temperatures in the semi-desert region, then
rampaged through the town for 12 hours, setting houses
ablaze and shooting those who tried to escape.
The attack and hundreds of casualties were conrmed by
Borno state information commissioner Mohammed
Bulama, who spoke to the Associated Press by telephone
Wednesday.
Nigerian federal Senator Ahmed Zannah blamed ghters of
the Boko Haram terrorist network that has claimed respon-
sibility for the April 15 kidnapping of 276 teenage girls
from their boarding school in Chibok, in northeastern
Borno state.

DONETSK, Ukraine Russian
President Vladimir Putin softened his
tone in the confrontation with the
West on Wednesday, declaring that
Russia has pulled its troops away from
the Ukrainian border and calling for a
delay of Sundays referendum on
autonomy in Ukraines restive east.
But there were no immediate signs
that either move was truly happening
or that they would cool the Ukrainian
crisis. NATO and Washington said they
saw no indication of a Russian pull-
back, and the pro-Russia insurgents
behind the referendum have not agreed
to go along with Putins proposal.
In a Moscow meeting with Swiss
President Didier Burkhalter, Putin said
Russian troops have been pulled back
to their training grounds and loca-
tions for regular exercises, but he
did not specify whether those loca-
tions were in areas near its border with
Ukraine.
A Russian Defense Ministry
spokesman declined to say where the
troops were now positioned.
White House spokesman Josh
Earnest said the U.S. had no evi-
dence of a pullback, and NATO chief
Anders Fogh Rasmussen told reporters
that the alliance had not seen any
sign that Russia is withdrawing its
troops.
Putin also reiterated Russias
demand that Ukraines military halt all
operations against the pro-Russia
activists who have seized government
buildings and police stations in at
least a dozen towns in eastern
Ukraine.
Ukraine launched an offensive late
last week to take back the buildings
and towns under insurgent control. At
least 34 people, including many
rebels, have died in that offensive, the
government said.
Many had feared that Sundays vote
would be a ashpoint for further vio-
lence between the rebels and
Ukrainian troops.

HAVANA Four Cuban exiles from
Miami are being held for planning
terrorist actions against military tar-
gets on the island, Havana authorities
said Wednesday in announcing the rst
such arrests in years.
The Interior Ministry said the men
were detained April 26, but released few
specic details. It was not clear why it
took so long to make the arrests public.
They intended to attack military
installations with the goal of perpe-
trating violent actions, the ministry
said in a statement published by the
Communist Party newspaper Granma.
To such ends, since mid-2013, three
of them had made several trips to the
island to study and carry out their
plan.
The arrests come amid increased
exchanges between exiles and their
homeland, including visits by several
prominent former hardliners who had
vowed never to set foot in Cuba while
brothers Fidel and Raul Castro were
still in charge.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
The New York Times
T
hree weeks after their horrifying
abduction in Nigeria, 276 of the
more than 300 girls who were
taken from a school by armed militants are
still missing, possibly sold into slavery or
married off. Nigerian security forces appar-
ently do not know where the girls are and
the countrys president, Goodluck
Jonathan, has been shockingly slow and
inept at addressing this monstrous crime.
On Tuesday, the United Nations
Childrens Fund said Boko Haram, the ruth-
less Islamist group that claimed responsi-
bility for the kidnappings, abducted more
young girls from their homes in the same
part of the country in the northeast over
the weekend. The group, whose name
roughly means Western education is a
sin, has waged war against Nigeria for ve
years. Its goal is to destabilize and ulti-
mately overthrow the government. The
groups leader, Abubakar Shekau, said in a
video released on Monday, I abducted your
girls. I will sell them in the market, by
Allah.
This is not the rst time Boko Haram has
attacked students, killing young men and
kidnapping young women.
But the kidnapping of so many young
girls, ages 12 to 15, has triggered outrage
and ignited a rare antigovernment protest
movement in Nigeria.
On Sunday, after weeks of silence,
Jonathan admitted that this is a trying
time for our country, and he said that
Nigerians were justied in their anger
against the government and appealed for
international help. The reaction of
Jonathans wife, Patience, was stunningly
callous; according to state news media, she
told one of the protest leaders, You are
playing games. Dont use schoolchildren
and women for demonstrations again.
Boko Harams claim that it follows
Islamic teachings is nonsense. Apre-emi-
nent Islamic theological institute, Al-
Azhar in Egypt, denounced the abductions,
saying it completely contradicts the
teachings of Islam and its tolerant princi-
ples. Although Boko Haram is believed to
number no more than a few hundred men,
Nigerian security forces have been unable
to defeat them.
The kidnappings occurred just as
President Jonathan is about to hold the
World Economic Forum on Africa, with
6,000 troops deployed for security. That
show of force may keep the delegates safe,
but Nigerias deeply troubled government
cannot protect its people, attract invest-
ment and lead the country to its full poten-
tial if it cannot contain a virulent insur-
gency.
Time will tell on quality of education
Editor,
In the April 29 issue of the Daily
Journal, there was great joy in the fact that
the high school graduation rate increased
(San Mateo County graduation rate climbs
to 88.2 percent). I believe that a well-edu-
cated and prepared student is necessary for a
good economy and a free society. Education
is very important, so I ask the following.
Has our education system increased the
number of languages spoken by each gradu-
ate as Utah has? No student should graduate
high school without speaking Spanish in
California. Are the new graduates steeped in
American and world history? Do they fully
understand the Constitution? Do they
understand civics? Can they spell without
spell check? Can they write in cursive and
construct a sentence and paragraph? How
about geography? Can they listen to a
debate intelligently? Do they know their
representatives and where the state Capitol
is? Can they write and balance a check-
book? Do they know how to make change?
Do they know why they should save? Do
they understand, as I was taught, why they
need to and should live a moral and civic
life? Time will tell.

The high cost of youth sports
Editor,
I am not sure reopening the Bridgepointe
skating rink is favorable to San Mateo
County residents (Outpouring of support
for Ice Center in the April 25 edition of
the Daily Journal). Actually, the skating
rink is an expensive operation and, in
essence, is elitist when you consider the
cost of renting or buying skates and other
equipment for children. The skating rink
seems to cater to upper-middle class citi-
zens, considering that rentals and housing
costs are stretching parents disposal
income. Even the photo in the Daily
Journal showed few minorities present at
the open meeting.
Consequently, a very large segment of
parents in the county cannot afford to par-
ticipate in this sport. There is a lack of
minority participation unemployed,
underemployed and minorities, considering
the counties demographics from East Palo
Alto to the south and South San Francisco
from the north. How can the city increase
minority participation of the poor and
minorities to bring about greater participa-
tion that is representative of our county?
Perhaps the cost of youth sports is too
expensive to be inclusive of the demo-
graphics in the county. What nancial
assistance are you going to provide those
that can ill afford this sports center?
Should this center be reopened, it should
have a comprehensive outreach program to
increase participation from those who have
little income. The program should be on
weekends and holidays: never when the
skate rink is full. If necessary, school
buses would be used to transport clients. If
this cant be done, this recreational activi-
ty should be removed from Bridgepointe.

Disappointed
Editor,
I am at a complete loss as to two articles
I read in the headlines in the May 1 edition
of the Daily Journal. One bragged that the
Bay Area growth has topped all areas in the
state. The individuals running our govern-
ment see this as a good thing something
we should be proud of and at the same
time are telling us to conserve water and in
some cases limiting us to certain amounts.
They are telling us that in one more year
we will be in real trouble. When are they
going to realize that Mother Nature is
telling us there is only so much water? We
can only quench the thirsts of so many
people.
The second article was a statement that
measurements show that global emissions
from burning fossil fuels rose last month
to levels higher than any time in human
history. Im 66 years old; chances are this
wont affect me, but if you are the genera-
tion ahead of me you better take notice and
change what we have screwed up in front of
you.

from Foster City to Safeways store selling
gas in American Canyon (just before Napa)
is 61 miles, much less than 100 miles, as
quoted by the Safeway spokesperson
still a fur piece to drive to ll the tank,

I
f you love it so much, why dont you
marry it?
Aman is taking that childhood taunt a tad
to the extreme, demanding in court the right
to marry his computer.
Afew things to note: This man is from
Florida. That
should explain a
lot right there.
This man also
claims he has fall-
en in love with
his pornography-
lled MacBook
because he prefers
that experience
over intimacy
with real women.
Um, OK. Sounds
like somebody
never had a date in
high school.
In some ways, this nutty story is a like a
real-life version of Her, the Oscar-nomi-
nated ick in which Joaquin Phoenixs char-
acter falls in love with a Siri-like operating
system voiced by Scarlett Johansson.
In other ways, this is less Love Story and
more what-will-they-think-of-next? reali-
ty TV.
The would-be groom Chris Sevier argues
in published reports that if gays have the
right to marry folks with the same boy and
girl parts as themselves, he likewise should
have the right to marry my preferred sexual
object even though that is a couple with
uncorresponding parts, too.
Sevier claims he and his machine
spouse are being discriminated against and
cites global cases in which a woman married
a dolphin and a Chinese man wed a card-
board cutout of himself. Other cases clog-
ging the Internet world of the weird include
a man who married a pillow and a man who
married a computer game character.
Yep, because those are the precedents that
make the rest of us look beyond the weird
and realize that love sees no color, no gen-
der and certainly no human heartbeat.
Thankfully, the courts in Florida and Utah
he led his lawsuit in both states
werent sold on his explanation of
man/machine love.
Frankly, it is a little unclear if Sevier actu-
ally somehow believes he should be allowed
to legally sanction this unusual union or if
it is a ridiculous way of protesting the grow-
ing number of states allowing gay marriage
by taking a cue from the opponents who say
marrying trees and animals wont be far
behind.
But what if Sevier is right? What if he was
allowed to marry his computer which obvi-
ously he met at a speed dating event you
know, something with a catchy title like
Love Hertz.
Even if he did put a ring on it, the rela-
tionship will never last. It will start out
sweet. Honey, does this extra bandwidth
make me look fat? Oh no, never. Youre
skinnier than a MacBook Air.
And after a series of uploads and down-
loads, its only a matter of time until one or
both of them harden their drive, er, heart.
First will come the complaints about the
older generations in the family. Theyre
slow. They dont respond properly. Every
time you try getting them to do something
all one gets is the spinning wheel of death.
Then the personal attacks: Youre on the
Internet day and night. You lost all my con-
tacts and les. We dont connect anymore. I
know you want to replace me with a younger
model.
For the record, nobody is reporting on
whether the computer actually accepted
Seviers proposal. Could be the machine
isnt ready for such a binding commitment.
It likely knows that the best actually,
the only sane key to a relationship with
somebody like Sevier is escape.

Big movers
By Matthew Craft
NEW YORK Soothing words
from Federal Reserve Chair Janet
Yellen helped pull the stock market
out of a morning slump Wednesday.
But Internet companies and Whole
Foods Market plunged, taking the
Nasdaq down.
Traders dropped NetApp, sales-
force.com and other tech companies
for a second day running, sending
their stocks down 2 percent or more.
Whole Foods sank 19 percent after
cutting its profit forecast.
Yellen told the Joint Economic
Committee of Congress that a tough
job market and weak inflation meant
that the Fed will likely keep borrow-
ing rates low for a considerable
time. As a result, she said, the econ-
omy still needed the Feds help.
Yellens comments appeared to
ease concerns that the Fed was going
to remove more support. The stock
market had wandered lower in morn-
ing trading, then turned from a loss
to a gain before the lunch hour.
I think the market breathed a sigh
of relief that she wasnt going to
unveil something new, said Jeff
Kleintop, chief market strategist at
LPL Financial.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
gained 10.49 points, or 0.6 percent,
to close at 1,878.21.
The Dow Jones industrial average
climbed 117.52 points, or 0.7 per-
cent, to 16,518.54.
The Nasdaq was the only major
index to fall. It gave up 13.09
points, or 0.3 percent, to 4,067.67.
The S&P 500 index is within strik-
ing distance of its all-time closing
high of 1,890 reached on April 2.
Whenever youre near all-time
highs youre going to see skittish-
ness, said JJ Kinahan, chief strate-
gist at TD Ameritrade. In this mar-
ket, the slightest news can change
everything,
Kinahan said that many investors
are wondering whether the stock mar-
ket is priced too high. The average
stock trades at 16 times its earnings
over the past year, according to S&P
Capital IQ. Thats slightly higher
than the historical average. Some
tech stocks, however, are valued
much higher. Amazons stock has
lost 27 percent this year, but its
still trading at a lofty 465 times
earnings.
Many of these stocks have come
down a lot, but you cant say theyre
cheap, Kleintop said.
High prices reflect expectations
for higher earnings, and companies
in the S&P 500 are on track to report
that earnings increased 3 percent in
the first quarter, according to S&P
Capital IQ. The problem is, earnings
growth is slowing down. In the pre-
vious quarter, earnings jumped nearly
8 percent.
And there are concerns about future
profits. Of the companies that have
provided forecasts for the second
quarter, nearly nine out of 10 have
warned of weaker earnings.
Whole Foods cut its profit outlook
late Tuesday, saying its facing
increased competition as supermar-
kets, big-box stores and even online
retailers step up their offerings of
organic foods. Its the third time the
grocery chain has reduced its profit
forecast in the last six months.
Whole Foods dropped $9.02, or 19
percent, to $38.93.
Among Internet stocks, NetApp, a
data management and storage compa-
n y, fell $1.28, or 4 percent, to
$33.70 and salesforce.com lost
$1.35, or 3 percent, to $50.43.
Just two of the eight sectors in the
S&P 500 fell, information technolo-
gy and consumer discretionary com-
panies. Gainers included utilities,
which rose the most, 1.6 percent.
Thats a sign investors are still cau-
tious. Investors tend to favor less
volatile, high-dividend stocks like
power companies when they want to
play it safe. Utilities are by far the
best-performing sector in the market
so far this year, up 13.8 percent.
Stocks pull out of morning slump

WASHINGTON The Drug Enforcement
Administration is trying to stay one step
ahead of synthetic drug makers, wholesalers
and retailers as it broadens its crackdown on
the growing black market product.
DEA agents fanned out across the country
Wednesday and made more 150 arrests and
served about 200 warrants, DEA spokesman
Rusty Payne said. The largest single opera-
tion was a statewide effort in Alabama,
though agents also were active in 28 other
states. Authorities also seized more than $20
million in cash and assets, the DEAsaid.
The Treasury Department also announced
the rst nancial sanctions against people
accused of dealing in synthetic drugs. The
government formally sanctioned four people
it identied as Daniel Maurice Louie, Kevin
Kim Louie and Francine Denise Louie all of
Canada and Tramayne Primus from
Barbados.
The group did not immediately respond to a
request for comment submitted on one of
their company websites.
The governments decision to identify and
sanction the four, along with four foreign
companies that authorities said were used to
buy and sell signicant quantities of the
chemicals used in many popular synthetic
drugs, mean U.S. citizens cannot do business
with them. The Ofce of Foreign Assets
Control designation under the Foreign
Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act also
allows the government to seize U.S. assets
tied to the group and the companies.
The Kingpin Act is a tool typically
reserved for some of the most serious players
in the international drug trade, including the
likes of Joaquin El Chapo Guzman Loera,
formerly the head of Mexicos powerful and
ruthless Sinaloa Cartel.
The DEA has been cracking down on syn-
thetic drugs, including Spice, Molly and so-
called bath salts, since the drugs rst gained
widespread popularity years ago.
In late 2010, the agency responsible for
enforcing federal drug laws moved to ban ve
chemicals used to make synthetic marijuana
blends, including K2, Spice and Blaze.

SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo CEO
Marissa Mayer faces a $10 billion
decision in a few months.
The pivotal moment will come when
the Chinese e-commerce leader
Alibaba Group completes its initial
public offering of stock an enor-
mous deal that triggers a provision
requiring Yahoo to sell about 40 per-
cent of its stake in the company. The
sale is expected to generate a windfall
that will intensify pressure on Mayer
to revive Yahoos revenue growth after
years of lethargy.
This is Marissas moment of reck-
oning, says Moshe Cohen, a
Columbia University business profes-
sor who has been tracking Yahoos
ties with Alibaba.
Mayer acknowledged as much
Wednesday during an appearance in
New York at a conference hosted by
TechCrunch.
We know this is of critical impor-
tance to our investors, she said. She
declined to say much more, citing
securities regulations that restrict the
public comments of executives
involved in pending IPOs.
While the sale of Alibaba stock will
be a short-term boon for Yahoo, it will
also remove some of the financial
scaffolding that has been lifting
Yahoos stock even as the companys
revenue continues to slip. Most ana-
lysts say the Alibaba stake is the main
reason that Yahoos stock has more
than doubled under Mayer because
investors latched on to Yahoo shares
as a way to get a piece of Alibabas
IPO.
With much of the Alibaba support
going away, its time to rev up rev-
enue growth, says BGC Financial
analyst Colin Gillis. They will need
to move the needle now.
One of the quickest ways Mayer
could boost revenue would be to buy
another company, something she will
be in a better position to do after the
IPO is complete, probably in August
or September.
Although Alibaba is unlikely to set
an IPO price until this summer, ana-
lysts estimate the Chinese companys
market value at $150 billion to $200
billion. At that level, the 208 million
shares that Yahoo is required to sell
will bring in at least $10 billion. The
Sunnyvale, California, company
would still own about 315 million
Alibaba shares that it could sell at a
later date.
Windfall means moment of reckoning for Yahoo CEO

DETROIT Electric car maker Tesla
Motors lost $49.8 million in the rst
quarter as it accelerated the develop-
ment of its new crossover and made
improvements to its Model S sedan.
Tesla said it produced a record 7,535
Model S sedans during the period and
delivered 6,457 to customers, but
higher costs led to a loss.
Shares fell 7 percent to $187.50 in
after-hours trading.
The company also said Wednesday
that California is now in the running
for a $5 billion battery factory it plans
to build. Previously the company was
only considering Arizona, New
Mexico, Texas and Nevada for the fac-
tory, which is scheduled to begin pro-
ducing lithium-ion batteries for Teslas
Fremont, California, car factory in
2017.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the com-
pany will prepare two separate sites
for the battery factory to minimize the
risk of delays. Work may begin as
early as next month on one of the
sites, he said. He wouldnt say which
states are the nalists. California is a
possible choice, he said, if the gov-
ernment can streamline the permitting
process.
Musk said the gigafactory, as its
known in the company, will help Tesla
cut its battery costs by 30 percent. But
it has to be built by 2017 to supply
batteries for the companys lower-cost
Generation Three vehicle.
If we dont have the gigafactory
online when have the vehicle capacity
online, we will be in trouble, Musk
told analysts on the companys earn-
ings conference call.

SURVIVE AND ADVANCE: CRYSTAL SPRINGS BOYS TENNIS MOVES INTO SECOND ROUND OF CCS TOURNAMENT >> PAGE 12
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Last year, the Stevenson School boys ten-
nis team was 11-0, earned the No. 6 seed and
advanced to the quarternals of the Central
Coast Section tournament.
As such, the Aragon team gured it was in
for a tough time against Stevenson AKA
Robert Louis Stevenson as the Dons host-
ed the Pirates in the rst round of the CCS tour-
nament Wednesday.
Turns out last year was last year. This sea-
son, Stevenson is denitely in a rebuilding
mode and the Dons took advantage, routing
the Pirates 7-0 in a match that lasted under a
hour and 15 minutes.
In talking with his Stevenson counterpart,
Aragon coach Dave Owdom said he was told
the Pirates lost nine players from last years
squad.
They were very good last year, Owdom
said. Theyve been seeded in the past and
they always have good teams.
With the win, Aragon (14-6) will play No. 4
Bellarmine at 3 p.m. Friday at Bay Club in
Santa Clara.
Im pretty shocked. I thought they were
going to bring a lot of heat, said Devon
Hughes, Aragons No. 1 singles player, who
dropped his rst set, but was up 4-0 in the sec-
ond when his opponent, Ryan Hayes, had to
retire because of lingering knee tendinitis.
I wasnt sure we would win today.
Turns out the Dons won handily. In seven
matches, the Dons dropped a total of 14 games
while winning 79, winning every match in
straight sets.
Isaac Wang, Aragons No. 2 singles player,
expected a much tougher match based on
Aragon dominates
NATHAN MOLLAT/DAILY JOURNAL
Isaac Wang, Aragons No.2 singles player,hits a return during his 6-1,6-0 win during the Dons
7-0 victory over Stevenson School in the rst round of the CCS tournament.
T
hey say there are only two cer-
tainties in life: death and taxes.
There is a third and, while its not
automatic, its nearly so: that the
Carlmont softball team will win at least
20 games and win the Peninsula Athletic
League Bay Division championship. The
Scots have won 20 or more games in nine
of the last 11 years, including this sea-
son and, with a win over Half Moon Bay
Thursday, will have won the same amount
of Bay Division titles in the same time
frame.
Despite all that, the Scots one of the
premiere programs in
the Central Coast
Section have yet
to win a CCS title
since 2004.
In fact, Carlmont
has only been to the
nals twice since
their seventh and
last CCS title 11
years ago.
Alot of Carlmonts
CCS struggles, how-
ever, have come as other teams have
stepped up their game, most notably San
Benito, which has won eight straight
CCS Division I titles, dating back to
2006 beating Carlmont twice in the
championship game, in 2007 and 2012 .
All that being said, the Scots seem to
simply reload year after year. Once again,
they have a shot at winning it all this
season. They are ranked fourth in CCS in
team batting average among all CCS
teams that report their stats to
Maxpreps.com. They are seventh in wins
and pitcher Rebecca Faulkner, with a 13-
1 record, has the best win-loss percent-
age in CCS.
At this point, I guess the question is:

PITTSBURGH Despite losing the
series, the San Francisco Giants found
something positive about their trip to PNC
Park: Brandon Belt is beginning to hit.
Belt homered, doubled and drove in all
three runs for the Giants in their 4-3 loss to
the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday.
The Giants had won 10 of 11 before drop-
ping two straight in Pittsburgh. Belt came
into the series in a 2-for-30 rut, but went 5
for 8 with a pair of walks in the three games.
Ive been just looking at the video, see-
ing what I was doing when I was hitting
well, Belt said. Obviously, the adjustment
was a timing issue. Ive been working on
that the last few days and Im starting to
come around.
Belt homered on the rst pitch he saw
Wednesday, connecting with two outs in the
rst. He hit a two-run double with two outs
in the fth.
He was quieter and was seeing the ball
better and not drifting through the strike
zone, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
We need him to get going like we need to
get Pablo (Sandoval) going so we can get
the line moving and get this thing click-
ing.
Giants starter Tim Lincecum (2-2) allowed
four runs, eight hits and two walks in four
innings. Opponents are hitting .329
against the two-time Cy Young winner.

OAKLAND Golden State Warriors co-
owner Joe Lacob has never been afraid to
take a risk. And he knows his latest move
ring coach Mark Jackson comes with a
lot of risk.
Lacob just believes its one worth taking.
After jettisoning Jackson on Tuesday,
Lacob and general manager Bob Myers
moved forward on lling the teams coach-
ing vacancy Wednesday. Lacob said he has
no set criteria for his next coach and no
timetable to make the hire, but hes count-
ing on the search to attract more candidates
and more top-tier talent than when he
hired Jackson three years ago.
We do have some ideas of what we want
to do, Lacob said in a phone interview with
The Associated Press. We will look at all
the basic aspects such as basketball experi-
ence, and I dont mean coaching necessari-
l y. Someone like Mark Jackson had played
17 years in the NBA, thats a lot of experi-
ence. In this case it might be more coaching
experience, it might not. Were kind of
open to that.
But it has to be someone with good pedi-
gree, someone whos a leader, someone who
can deal with the pressure of a situation. We
have been somewhat successful now and
want to go to the next level.
The job is certainly a far more attractive
one than when Lacob hired Jackson away
from the ESPN/ABC broadcast table in June
2011. The Warriors are coming off a 51-win
season and consecutive playoff appearances
for the rst time in 20 years, and theyve
surrounded star Stephen Curry with young
talent.
Lacob compared the decision to change
coaches to how he built his fortune as a ven-
ture capitalist in Silicon Valley. He said
theres a different person to lead a business
at different stages of development, and the
Warriors have gone from a startup compa-
ny to an organization looking to maximize
its output.
Or in this case win an NBA champi-
onship, he said. And we just felt overall
we needed a different person to go forward
and get to the next level.
Where the Warriors go for their next
coach is unclear. Lacob and Myers both
declined to discuss specic candidates.
Former NBAplayer and current TNTbroad-
caster Steve Kerr, who is also a candidate for
the New York Knicks job, has close ties to
Lacob and Warriors President Rick Welts
from Kerrs time as the general manager for
the Phoenix Suns. Former Orlando Magic
coach Stan Van Gundy, who went to high
school in nearby Martinez, California, has
been mentioned for multiple openings the
past few years but has yet to show a desire to
go back to the bench.
If the Warriors look to the college ranks,
Iowa States Fred Hoiberg and Connecticuts
Kevin Ollie are rising stars in the profes-
sion. Lacob, who insisted NBA coaching
experience is not a requirement, could also
try to make a splash by luring a more
tenured coach such as Michigan States Tom
Warriors begin search for next head coach

Jurgen Klinsmann has made it clear he plans to invite all
30 players who are named to the preliminary United States
World Cup roster to the start of next weeks training camp.
The U.S. coach might have to wait a few extra days for a
few of the World Cup hopefuls to arrive, including forward
Aron Johannsson.
While the club season ends this weekend for many of the
Americans playing abroad, there is the possibility of more
games that could impact whether the entire U.S. contingent
is on hand when camp opens May 14.
It has priority that they get the job
done with their club teams before they
come into camp, Klinsmann said in a
recent interview with U.S. Soccer. So,
we might have a few guys coming in a
couple of days later than we expected
them, but thats all right.
Johannsson, who has 26 goals across
all competitions this season for AZ
Alkmaar in the Dutch league, is the most
notable of those who might miss the
start of camp. The 23-year-old forward
has battled an ankle injury lately and missed the rst leg of
a seminal playoff game at home against Heerenveen on
Wednesday, with the return match scheduled for Saturday.
If Alkmaar advances to the nals, he would likely miss the
opening of training camp at Stanford University.
Another American hopeful who could be delayed by his
club teams season is Timmy Chandler.
The Nuremberg defender recently returned to action fol-
lowing knee surgery in February, and he played the entirety
of a 2-0 loss to Hannover over the weekend. However, with
one German Bundesliga game remaining, Chandlers club
team is in danger of relegation.
Nuremberg, which closes out its season against Schalke
on Saturday, is currently 17th out of 18 Bundesliga teams
one point ahead of last-place Eintracht Braunschweig and
one point behind Hamburg.
The bottom two Bundesliga teams are automatically rele-
gated to the second division, while the 16th-place team
faces a home-and-home playoff against the third-place team
from the second league for a Bundesliga spot.
Should Nuremberg make it into a playoff, Chandler
who has played in 10 games for the national team would
also miss valuable time with the Americans during training.
Preliminary 30-man World Cup rosters are due to FIFAby
May 13, while the nal 23-man roster must be submitted by
June 2.
The host country, Brazil, announced its 23-man roster on
Wednesday, but Klinsmann has said he prefers the competi-
tion and depth the extra players will provide during camp.
It makes it a little bit more tricky with the training ses-
sions, but we prepared them already so we have good quali-
ty work there prepared for them, Klinsmann said. But def-
initely well take advantage of all 30 players.
Boyds surge
Forward Terrence Boyd continued to take steps toward
securing his spot with the U.S. next month in Brazil over
the weekend. The 23-year-old forward scored for the fth
time in three games for Rapid Vienna on Sunday, giving
him a career-high 19 goals across all competitions this sea-
son. Boyd is scoreless in 12 national team appearances for
the U.S., but hes earned praise of late from Klinsmann for
his recent form. His recent surge might just have earned
him a spot in Brazil.

Stevensons reputation.
Weve heard of them, but we really didnt
know what was in store for us, Wang said.
I thought it would be a lot harder. I was a
little surprised.
As much as the Pirates were down this sea-
son, posting just a 6-6 record, the Dons
made them look much worse with one of
their best performances of the season.
My guys played very well, Owdom said.
It started at No. 1 doubles, where Aragons
Landers Ngrichemat and Alex Ilyin were the
rst players off the court with a 6-1, 6-0 vic-
tory. They were quickly followed by the No.
3 doubles team of Fabio Gallardo and
William Miyahira, who won their match 6-
0, 6-2.
After a choppy start in which his serve
was broken in the third game, Wang went on
to win 10 straight games to win his No. 2
singles match 6-1, 6-0.
I just told myself to settle down, Wang
said. Try not to beat myself.
The Dons completed the sweep of the dou-
bles match a few minutes later when the No.
2 team of Tony Wang and Sameer Jain
walked off with a 6-1, 6-0 win for the teams
fourth point, which wrapped up the team
win.
Every time we sweep doubles, we have a
good chance of winning, Isaac Wang said.
Hughes had trouble with Hayes booming
serve in the rst set, as Hayes recorded a 6-3
win in the opener. Hughes adjusted in the
second set, however.
The basic thing I had to work on was
changing my grip, which is something I
usually dont think about, Hughes said. It
gave me an extra half second to adjust and
get his serve back in play.
Hughes jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the sec-
ond set and noticed there was something
wrong with Hayes ability to move around
the court.
In the second set, he didnt seem as
mobile, Hughes said. It seemed like he
was holding back.
Stevenson coach Sevan Zenopian said
Hayes has been hampered by a knee prob-
lem for the better part of two months, limit-
ing the amount of time Hayes can actually
play before the pain forces him to shut it
down.
Jonathon Liu and Mathew Fowler rounded
out the Aragon shutout, with Liu winning
his No. 3 singles match 6-0, 6-2 and Fowler
posting a 6-0, 6-1 victory.
The Dons will now take a big step up in
competition as they face Bellarmine, which
captured the West Catholic Athletic League
title with a 14-0 record. Overall, the Bells
are 18-3.
Hopefully the momentum keeps going,
Owdom said. Now, [we] get to play one of
the big boys.

Colin Kaepernick eager
to have Miami case resolved
SANTACLARA San Francisco 49ers quar-
terback Colin Kaepernick says on Twitter hes
eager to have the truth come out in a Miami
investigation involving him and two other NFL
players.
Miami Police on Tuesday released two calls to
a 911 dispatcher saying a woman identifying
herself as Jesus was lying naked in a bed and
refusing to leave. The callers said the woman
wanted to spend time with a
third man who wasnt there.
Kaepernick posted
Wednesday: On 911 calls,
Im glad the truth is getting
out. Info that came out earli-
er was totally wrong. I look
forward to this matter being
resolved.
Police say the players
also involved in the case
are 49ers wide receiver
Quinton Patton and Seahawks receiver Ricardo
Lockette. None has been charged with any
wrongdoing.

How is San Benito doing this season?
Well, the Haybalers are 17-3-1 overall and
have a one-game lead in the Monterey Bay
Athletic Leagues Gabilan Division. Expect
the Haybalers to have a say in who wins
the CCS Division crown this season
regardless of their record. As eight-time
defending champion, you cant expect
them to go away quietly.
So, is this the year the Scots nally get
back in the winners circle?
Hopefully, Faulkner said following her
teams 12-0 win over Capuchino last week.

in runs scored with Erin Dougherty with 18
and is second in hits with 30, two behind
Dougherty.
Miller has played on the travel ball cir-
cuit since she was 11 and has been the

Izzo to the professional ranks. Or, as was
the case with Jackson, make another uncon-
ventional hire.
The one thing Lacob is banking on is he
should have a more wide-ranging eld than
when he made his rst coaching hire as
owner. Among the coaches the Warriors
reached out to during that search: Jackson,
Michael Malone, Mike Brown, Brian Shaw,
Dwane Casey, Jeff Van Gundy and Mike
Budenholzer.
We think this is a very attractive job,
Lacob said. Compared to three years
ago, we have an outstanding organiza-
t i on. Three years ago, not only was the
team not winning, but the organization
needed a lot of work.
Lacob also understands a new coach comes
with the risk of disrupting team chemistry.
Nearly every player publicly called for
Jackson to return most notably Curry,
whom Lacob said was told of the decision
ahead of time. Lacob said he hopes his own-
ership group has built enough clout with
players and fans since it bought the fran-
chise in 2010 that they will have faith in
the decisions management makes.
I think they have the same goals as us
to win and to achieve a high level of suc-
cess, Lacob said. And I think they have to
trust us a little bit, that we have the same
goals and were going to do everything we
can to bring in the best coach possible and
will manage the attributes of each player in
a way that will allow us to win as many
games as possible.

I wasnt nishing my pitches, especially
my secondary pitches, Lincecum said. When
I got ahead in the count, the secondary pitches
were just rolling up there and had no bit on
them. Im the type of guy whos going to have
to get guys to chase pitches but I cant do that
when Im leaving balls up in the strike zone
that are so hittable.
Gerrit Cole (3-2) beat Lincecum for the sec-
ond time in his 11-month major league career,
including his major league debut at home last
June 11.
Cole had been 0-2 in four starts since win-
ning his rst two outings.
Fill-in closer Mark Melancon worked a per-
fect ninth for his second save in three chances.
Ike Davis had three hits for the Pirates, who
have won four of six after a 1-7 slide.
Cole, the No. 1 pick in the 2011 amateur
draft, allowed three runs and seven hits in
eight innings with seven strikeouts and a
walk.
Andrew McCutchen hit an RBI single in the
rst and scored on Starling Martes double.
Travis Snider made it 4-1 with a two-run single
in the second.
NOTES: Sandoval was not in the starting
lineup after sustaining what Bochy called a
sprain of his hand or thumb during the nal
play of Tuesday nights game. He pinch-hit
for Lincecum in the fth and singled. ... Neil
Walker had a second-inning single has reached

has allowed one earned run over 13 innings in

OAKLAND Despite nally breaking
through against nemesis Felix Hernandez, the
Oakland Athletics still couldnt nd a way to
beat the Seattle Mariners.
Justin Smoak hit an RBI single with two
outs in the 10th inning after Oaklands bullpen
blew a late lead and the Athletics lost their
sixth straight home game, 6-4 to the Mariners
in a doubleheader opener on Wednesday.
The As knocked out Hernandez with three
runs in the seventh inning to take a 4-3 lead on
Brandon MossRBI triple. But Luke Gregerson
allowed a game-tying single to Robinson
Cano in the eighth and the Mariners won it in
the 10th.
Its frustrating, As manager Bob Melvin
said. We actually had good at-bats against
(Hernandez) from the rst inning on. Squared
some balls up and hit some balls hard at people
on top of it. Our approach was really good on
him today. We just let it slip away in the later
innings.
Hernandez failed to strike out a batter for the
rst time since Aug. 19, 2008, against the
Chicago White Sox, ending a streak of 179
straight starts with at least one strikeout. He
allowed four runs three earned and
matched his career worst against Oakland by
giving up 11 hits in 6 1-3 innings.
No strikeouts, not a good breaking ball,
not a good changeup, Hernandez said. Thats
what happens when you dont have good
stuff.
Corey Hart and Mike Zunino hit solo homers
off Dan Straily and the Mariners won four
straight series for the rst time since August
2012.
Michael Saunders led off the 10th with a sin-
gle off Ryan Cook (0-1), stole second and went
to third on a sacrice bunt by Stefen Romero.
After an intentional walk to Cano, Cook struck
out Hart before leaving with a strained right
forearm.
Dan Otero relieved and Smoak hit a high
chopper off the glove of rst baseman Daric
Barton for the go-ahead single.
I was pretty mad about it as soon as I hit it,
Smoak said. Once it clanked off his glove I
was just trying to get to rst.
Kyle Seager added an RBI single.
Yoervis Medina (2-1) stranded two runners in
the ninth for the win, and Fernando Rodney
pitched the 10th for his ninth save in 10
chances.
Oakland had concerns beyond the loss.
Center elder and leadoff hitter Coco Crisp left
in the fourth with a strained neck. Crisp got
hurt after crashing into the wall to make a leap-
ing catch of Seagers two-out drive. Crisp was
down on the ground for a few minutes, walked
off under his own power and was replaced by
pinch-hitter Craig Gentry in the bottom half.
Crisp is day to day.
The ability to hold onto that ball, hitting
the (wall) out there, thats got to be tough to
do, Straily said. Hes a tough guy and hes
going to get through it.
This was just the second traditional double-
header in Oakland in the past 16 years, with the
other in 2011. The makeup game was neces-
sary because a game was postponed April 4
when the eld was unplayable after there was
no tarp on it overnight.
Erasmo Ramirez was to start the second
game for Seattle against Drew Pomeranz, with
the Mariners seeking their rst four-game
sweep in Oakland.

SUBURBAN LIVING 17
By Melissa Rayworth
For years, it was enough to park a barbe-
cue grill next to a picnic table on a patio and
call it an outdoor kitchen. But over the
past decade, Americans have taken backyard
cooking and dining to a new level, adding
elaborate cooking islands, outdoor sinks
and refrigerators, even outdoor TVs.
Unless you have a really tall fence, this is
the one room in your house that neigh-
bors will see whether you invite them to or
not, notes designer Sarah Fishburne, direc-
tor of trend and design for The Home Depot.
That inspires many homeowners to pay
extra attention to their outdoor entertaining
area.
Many of us also love the appeal of cook-
ing and entertaining in a space thats rela-
tively indestructible, says designer Jeff
Blunkosky, owner of Pittsburgh Stone and
Waterscapes.
If kids spill cake or Kool-Aid on your
patio, he says, you just pull out your hose
and hose it off.
Here are some thoughts from Flynn,
Blunkosky and Los Angeles-based designer
Brian Patrick Flynn, creator of the design
blog FlynnsideOut.com, about the elements
that make a useful, beautiful outdoor kitchen
without huge expense:
BUILD AN ISLAND
About a decade ago, Blunkosky says,
many homeowners began feeling that a
stand-alone grill just kind of standing
there didnt look that great in their back-
yards. Plus, it provided little workspace for
prepping food. The answer was to build
around it, incorporating the grill into a
stone base with a countertop and drawers
underneath pretty and practical.
Costs vary around the country, but these
designers say an investment of $3,000 to
$5,000 will cover a simple, 6-foot-long
cooking island with a basic grill embedded
in it and a 2-foot-deep countertop area. The
countertop serves as cooking prep space,
and usually extends out so that bar stools
can be pulled up underneath to create a bar
area for guests.
To turn a cooking island into a full-service
kitchen, add a refrigerator, sink and ice
maker, plus more storage drawers. That
involves running a water line and power line
out to the structure, so costs rise. So does
the time the project takes, says Blunkosky:
Designing and installing an elaborate cook-

take as long as putting an addition on your house.
BRING THE HEAT
As people spend more on their outdoor kitchens, they want
to use them for as much of the year as possible no matter
where they live.
Fireplaces, re pits and heaters, either freestanding or wall-
mounted, are good ways to extend the season for your outdoor
kitchen. Outdoor pizza ovens also have become popular.
And grills have come a long way since the days when we
poured lighter uid on a pile of coals.
Fishburne says the new generation of outdoor cooks wants
more than steaks, hamburgers and hot dogs. Theyre think-
ing about Korean barbecue, she says, or asking, How can I
make breakfast outside?
The new Spirit Grill from Weber has seven interchange-
able grates, she says, including a pizza stone, pancake
maker and poultry rotisserie attachment. Some buyers use it
to make three meals a day outside, she says. Prices begin
between $299 and $399, but many of the attachments are sold
separately.
Grill quality is important, Blunkosky says, especially in
areas with harsh weather. But if youre trying to be strategic
with money, Flynn points out that even a nice grill and other
outdoor appliances might need to be replaced within ve
years. He recommends investing more in the permanent
things (a higher-end cooking island or paving stones) rather
than a hugely expensive grill.
FRAME THE SPACE
Outdoor draperies can add privacy, inject color and pattern,
and set off your dining area as a distinct space, Flynn says.
They also can make a small patio feel larger, he says: If you
hang curtains that are 7 or 8 feet tall, you will emphasize the
height of the space rather than emphasizing how small the
footprint is.
Pergolas achieve the same effect, and used together the two
elements can create a dining area that feels luxurious, at min-
imal expense. A pergola also gives you more options for
built-in lighting. Achandelier or hanging pendant light over
the dining table can make your outdoor space feel like a true
dining room, and there are many designed for outdoor use.
Outdoor sconces can be hung on the pergolas posts.
ACCESSORIES
Consider which splurges would serve you best: extra elec-
trical outlets? An outdoor icemaker or small refrigerator?
Maybe an outdoor TV?
As for tables and chairs, Fishburne says there are many
options. Some clients, she says, invest in high-end brands
with a reputation for lasting a decade or more. Brown Jordan,
for instance, offers a 15-year warranty on the frames of their
furniture, and Fishburne has heard stories about people who
have had Brown Jordan in their families for generations.

Downtown San Mateo Association and
the Economic Development and
Growth Enterprise, or EDGE, joined to
generate Innovation Week, said
Rebecca Zito, senior management ana-
lyst with the city of San Mateo.
We have a lot of startup companies,
tech companies coming to our commu-
nity. There are a lot of creative people
that are building artistic communities
and a lot of innovation within the
downtown area, Zito said.
[Innovation Week] gives us an oppor-
tunity to highlight that and elevate it
to the next level.
There are several activities occurring
throughout the week and a new event
each day, Zito said.
The event kicks off Monday night
with the city recognizing Dale
Dougherty, founder of Maker Faire,
said Linda Asbury, on the executive
board of EDGE.
Tuesday evening brings an
Innovative Cocktail Crawl with cre-
ative food and drink concoctions.
On Wednesday evening, there will be
a free Burning Man themed panel dis-
cussion to hear examples of how peo-
ple have taken ideas theyve been pas-
sionate about and skilled in doing and
then engaged like-minded people to
work with them, to collaborate with
them and to develop projects that they
can bring to an underdeveloped area or
an area that needs resurgence, Zito
said
On Thursday, the 3 Corners project
will help reinvigorate the blighted
vacant lots on Third Avenue and El
Camino Real. Unattractive fences now
surround two of these former gas sta-
tions.
In the spirit of innovation, Marcus
Clarke, the citys economic develop-
ment manager, said San Mateo is look-
ing to the public for ways to enhance
the area until the property owners
develop their lots.
Third Avenue is the main entryway
into the downtown and the community
has been wanting to see something
done with those properties for a long
time, Clarke said. This is just a way
to make the area more attractive than
whats currently there.
Artists, creators and visionaries are
invited to attend two sessions to dis-
cuss and submit ideas on how to trans-
form the three fences into works of art.
The city and the DSMAare also waiting
to see if they receive a $25,000 grant
that could open the doors to something
more permanent, Clarke said.
The public can see an instant
makeover and psychedelic artistic dis-
play during Innovation Week as each
evening the walls against two lots will
be lit up with owing art, said DSMA
Executive Director Jessica Evans.
That intersection is kind of sleepy
right now and underused, Evans said.
Those lots denitely need some beau-
tication and if it does take a little
longer for a developer to come and
transform those properties, why not
bridge that time with something thats
more attractive.
Gallery Walls is 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. as
a means to kick off the DSMAs new
nonprot, the Downtown Art Project,
Evans said.
Two local artists will have their work
displayed as well as the Joshua Light
Show, which was started in the Bay
Area in the 1960s.
Each evening will have a different
theme but its not like a movie and
spectators can view at their leisure,
Evans said.
If you go by the Gallery Walls on
Monday night, itll be a totally differ-
ent experience on Wednesday night.
And we think this is a fun and innova-
tive way to activate that space and wel-
come people to downtown, Evans
said.
Also on display throughout the
week, are two parklets designed and
built by the College of San Mateos
architecture club, Zito said. The struc-
tures provide portable seating, tables,
bike racks and planters, which will be
temporarily installed but can be used at
other events. Each takes up two street
parking spaces with one in front of
CREAM on South B Street and the
other at 3 Bees Coffee on Third Avenue.
Innovation Week will wrap up Friday
with a party, prizes and food at the
downtown Caltrain Station.
San Mateo has its own hub of talent
and creativity; it was the birthplace of
Maker Faire, YouTube, AdMob and
Draper University, Asbury said. But the
city is often overlooked so Innovation
Week is an exciting way to highlight
what it offers, Asbury said.
Weve pulled together community,
art, tech, fun, weve pulled it all
together in one week, Asbury said.
So lets all come together and put San
Mateo on the map.

SUBURBAN LIVING 19
By Sean Conway
TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY
Spring is the kickoff to garden-
ing season. It is also the time of
year when we all have questions
about our gardens.
Last week, a friend from
Chicago emailed me the follow-
ing questions about planting a
sour cherry tree:
My neighbors have a mature
sour cherry tree, which produces
wonderful fruit. Under the tree on
my side of the fence, Ive noticed
some cherry seedlings, no doubt
from fallen cherries. I want to
transplant one of these seedlings
to my front yard, but Im wonder-
ing a few things.
Is it likely that this seedling
will grow into a tree that produces
fruit of the same quality as my
neighbors tree? Or am I more
likely to get good fruit production
from a tree from a nursery? The
seedling is small at the base
about the thickness of my pinky
nger. Would I be waiting years
for fruit production, and be better
off getting a 2-inch tree from a
nursery? Id like to plant the tree
close to my house in front. How
close is it prudent to plant a cher-
ry tree to a century-old masonry
foundation? My 10- by 15-foot
front yard faces southwest and is
shielded from the north by a two-
story masonry building.
The answer to the rst part of
my friends question is a bit hard
to answer precisely. First lets
start with the fact that it is very
likely that the seedling, if trans-
planted in early spring before it
has broken dormancy, will grow
just ne for him provided it is
planted in a sunny location in
well-drained soil.
Cherries do not like to grow in
heavy, wet soil, nor do they grow
well in shade. However his
seedling may or may not produce
fruit of the same quality or in the
same quantity as his neighbors
tree. This is because most fruit
trees grown for production are
varieties that have been selected
specifically for their abundant
fruit.
Nurseries specializing in pro-
ducing fruit trees then take cut-
tings of these varieties and graft
them onto either dwarf or full-
sized rootstock. Grafting is a
process in which a branch tip
from the desired tree is spliced
into the trunk of another tree.
This splicing is done when the
trunk of the rootstock tree is
about the thickness of a pencil.
While the parent tree is cho-
sen for its ability to produce
abundant fruit, the host tree is
chosen for its roots ability to
produce a large tree (for those
with a lot of space) or for its abil-
ity to grow a dwarf tree (for those
with a limited amount of space).
My friends seedling is neither a
selected variety nor one that is
grafted onto a specic rootstock.
He might end up with a tree that
produces little to no fruit, one
that produces the same amount as
his neighbors tree, or if he is
extremely lucky, one that pro-
duces more fruit. However, he will
have to wait on average ve to
seven years to nd out, and in all
likelihood his tree will end up
growing larger than the space he
has for it.
His best bet would be to buy a
sour cherry tree from a local gar-
den center or an online nursery
such as Stark Bros (www.stark-
bros.com/ ) or Gurneys Seed and
Nursery (www.gurneys.com). He
would then be able to choose from
a selection of different sour cherry
varieties and would be purchasing
a tree that is already several years
old considerably cutting down
the wait time before baking his
rst cherry pie.
He would also be able to pur-
chase a tree that was grafted onto
dwarf rootstock, which would be a
much better choice for his urban
garden.
Regarding placement of the
tree, he should locate it so that the
tree receives as much sunlight as
possible. In my opinion it is OK
to plant trees near a house as long
as they are kept pruned so that
branches do not rub up against the
house or do not grow over the
roof. I have several large trees
growing very close to my home
but judicious pruning reduces the
risk of damage from falling
limbs. Atrees roots, if given the
choice, will grow out into soft
soil rather than into a solid foun-
dation.
Plant the fruit tree thats right for your space
Cherries are plentiful on this tree,but there is no guarantee that a tree that
grows from one of its seeds will be as prolic.

common occurrence, he said at a com-
munity meeting Tuesday evening.
Im not abdicating any responsibly. I
could have said, Elizabeth, youre
crazy. I could have made a different
decision. The creation of the TK
program is a vital thing we need to do
and we need to do well.
Given feedback from parents, for-
mer students and community members
at the meeting, Veal, who said the
decision was nal last week, said with
further consideration, shes going to
come to a nal decision on Monday,
May 12 given that she heard a greater
variety of voices on the topic. Veal
began at the school less than a year
ago.
One parent named Valerie asked at
the meeting if theres any regard for
seniority in the district and said it
sounded like the district is trying to
get rid of her.
No ones trying to get rid of Mrs.
Feinn, Ranii said. Its about how to
best utilize and rejuvenate careers. I do
not believe because someones done
something successfully, they couldnt
be successful with a change.
Ranii noted that if parents and com-
munity members feel like theyre not
hearing the whole story, its because
they cant hear the whole story since
its a personnel issue. He shared a let-
ter from seven South School teachers
who were too scared to come to the
meeting for fear of defending Veals
decision. He explained they were dis-
tressed and disappointed by protests
being made on misinformation. Veal
did explain the decision was made to
change team dynamics on campus and
the quality she appreciates about
Feinn is her ability to connect with
kids, but that that can span ages.
I dont disagree the best thing
would be having someone who is
wanting to be in this position, she
said. I completely respect and under-
stand change is hard and scary. . . .
What didnt surprise me was the pas-
sion people have about our teachers.
What does surprise me has been some
of the communication some of it
has not been as respectful as what Ive
experienced up until this point.
Others like former board member
Mary Huser said every time there is a
change in the district there is anxiety
from parents. The district needs to do
whats the best t for the needs of the
school, she said.
These teachers, each and every one
of them, is gifted and cares deeply
about these kids, she said. Sandy is
a wonderful teacher, but so are all the
other teachers. Sandy Feinn will do an
extraordinary job doing all the things
she was gifted doing in the fourth-
grade. Someone has to teach the class
and we dont have the budgets to go
out and hire.
At the same time, Feinns husband
and daughter attended the meeting and
shared that the teacher spoke to Veal
and was never given the reason for the
reassignment.
Thats surprising to me given the
conversations weve had all year you
would state that, Veal said. Ive been
very clear with Sandy.
Still, parents and former students are
unhappy with Feinns move.
If the school cant explain why a
drastic measure like this is being
taken, this simply shouldnt be
taken, said Todd Emanuel, whose
daughter was in Feinns class. You
can say with the best intentions, I
got this thing wrong, Its not a show
of weakness, its a show of leadership
and strength. We spent a lot of dough
to live here, and the theme over and
over again is we came here for public
safety and education.
A former student of Feinns named
Joey Hassid spoke about how Feinn
helped him discover his purpose in
life was to write after the teacher
showed a piece he wrote on jellysh to
her fourth-grade class when he was in
third-grade. This was the biggest
moment in his school career, he said.
He then was in Feinns class and called
her the best teacher he ever had.
I dont honestly remember first-
and second-grade so well I wasnt
really a person yet, he said. But in
fourth-grade, I was a very small per-
son. I remember thinking about what I
wanted to do with my life. She sin-
gle-handedly ignited this re in me.
Im not alone. This isnt some unique
story. She is magic at fourth-grade.
Meanwhile, Trustee Kaarin Hardy
also attended the meeting and said it
was a very good dialogue.
This is my ninth year at South [as a
parent], she said. I do have faith in
our system the system we have for
following up when we disagree has
been in place. I do have faith she
can be a great TK teacher.

budget recommendations.
I think it underscores what the gover-
nor has said for quite some time, which
is that we have signicant liabilities
that we need to address, said H.D.
Palmer, a spokesman for the state
Department of Finance.
The departments latest gures, for
March, show revenues coming in $1.4
billion higher than they were forecast
through the rst nine months of the s-
cal year that began July 1. But the
department says much of the growth is
from the highly volatile capital gains
tax and projects that it will level off
next year.
We know from painful history what
happens when you spend one-time rev-
enues on ongoing spending, Palmer
said. We dont want to see that movie
again.
In his January budget, Brown urged
his fellow Democrats who control the
state Legislature to start paying off
Californias massive liabilities, but did
not propose directly addressing the
decit for the nations largest educator-
only pension fund. The California State
Teachers Retirement System says its
debt grows by $22 million each day
nothing is done, yet Brown said he
would meet with the key players over
the next year to create a plan for long-
term solvency.
Sen. Mimi Walters, R-Irvine, vice
chairwoman of the Senate Fiscal
Oversight and Bonded Indebtedness
Committee, said in a statement it is time
to pay off the states credit card, echo-
ing comments by Assembly
Republicans and Democrats.
But Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said in an
interview that it also is important for
lawmakers to invest in California and
its people.
While some debts need urgent atten-
tion, the analysts report says the state
is taking action on $140 billion in
unfunded liabilities, including to the
California Public Employees
Retirement System.
