May Day protests may disrupt the morning commute as demonstrations, strikes and acts of civil disobedience are being
planned around the Bay Area and country today.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO May Day
protests may disrupt the morning com-
mute in major U.S. cities Tuesday as
labor, immigration and Occupy activists
rally support on the international work-
ers holiday.
Demonstrations, strikes and acts of
civil disobedience are being planned
around the country, including the most
visible organizing effort by anti-Wall
Street groups since Occupy encamp-
ments came down in the fall.
While protesters are backing away
from a call to block San Franciscos

Bill Starr was among the original cast
of All American who had the chance to
hear Mel Brooks work while sitting in a

Brooks wasnt well known at the time
but its an example for Starr of the won-

I was in New York at a time when
youd audition and youd work with
geniuses, he said.
The 71-year-old reected fondly on
the comedic work being done in the 60s
which people still love today. Starr had
taken advantage of his proximity to these

Millbrae Fire
Chief to retire

By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After 33 years of serving his hometown,
Millbrae Fire Chief Dennis Haag will
retire this month.
The decision could open the doors for
further re department consolidation as
Haag also served as San Brunos re chief
for the past four years and the two cities
are exploring a shared services agreement
with Central County Fire, which serves Burlingame and
Hillsborough.
Haag grew up in Millbrae and joined the department in
1979.

A group of young men congregated in the parking lot of a
Belmont apartment complex early Saturday morning were
way too loud for neighbors, prompting one to call police on a
noise complaint after hearing a big crash at about 3:20 a.m.
When police arrived to the complex on the 700 block of Old
County Road, they did not nd the noisy men but found
instead an Acura Integra with all four wheels missing. After
running the plates, Belmont police discovered the car was
stolen out of San Jose.

Mills-Peninsula Health Services in
San Mateo are scheduled to take part
and a public rally is also set for this

Woman balks at paying
old $73 debt to New Jersey
AMESBURY, Mass. A
Massachusetts woman who got a bill for
$73 from the state of New Jersey for a
decades-old debt says she has no intention
of paying.
Alice Mainville, of Amesbury, got a let-
ter recently telling her she owes New
Jerseys Department of Labor $73
because it gave her too much money in an
unemployment check 35 years ago.
Mainville tells the Daily News of
Newburyport she collected unemploy-
ment during a labor dispute at the bakery
where she worked when she was 17.
Mainville, who moved to
Massachusetts after high school, says she
wont pay because New Jersey ofcials
have not explained how they concluded
she owes the money.
Alabama police dept. has
two UAVs, but they arent used

ago the department has had the unmanned
aerial vehicles since 2010.
The revelation came to light after the

list of agencies certied to y drones and
unmanned aerial vehicles. The Gadsden
Police Department was on the list.
Crane, who was named police chief in
February, says he doesnt know why they
were purchased. The cost was about
$150,000, paid through a federal law
enforcement grant.
Crane says the departments UAVs,
which have video surveillance capability,
havent been used because there hasnt
been a need for them.

gather around for a snack.
The retired teacher says he likes a snack
during House action, and he used to tell
his students not to bring a snack to class
without enough to share.
Atkins says he tried putting out plain
M&Ms with the peanut ones once, but no
one took the plain ones.
Developer looking to

Toomsboro, a small community with
about 700 residents, has one convenience
store, a orist, a custom cabinet shop and

decade ago with the intention of turning
Toomsboro into a quaint tourist town.
But his plans changed. Now
Bumgardner and Lucado are putting the

Since the California High-Speed Rail
Authority has no way to verify whether its
consultants have real or perceived conicts of
interest, according to the Bureau of State
Audits, Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, will amend a proposed bill to require
all subcontractors to le statements of eco-
nomic interests.
The statements will help bring greater trans-
parency to the rail project, he said.
Hill intends to amend Assembly Bill 41,
which closes a loophole that has allowed mem-
bers of the rail authority to receive thousands
of dollars from special interest groups while
voting on issues that impact the same groups.
The amendment would require consultants
to list business relationships and sources of
income. AB 41 is currently being considered
on the state Senate oor.
Hill decided to amend the bill after the Los
Angeles Times reported last month that a
transportation expert hired by the rail authori-
ty to ensure the accuracy of ridership forecasts
worked for the company that prepared the esti-
mates and has a close relationship with a top
executive at the rm.
The Times reported that
$400-an-hour consultant
Frank Koppelman, the
chair of the authoritys
five-member ridership
review panel, was tasked
with assessing the ridership
projections of Cambridge
Systemactics, a company
for which he formerly
worked.
Cambridges lofty ridership projections for
the $68 billion project have been called into
question by myriad groups, including the
states Legislative Analysts Ofce.
Hills amendment would require consultants
such as Koppelman to disclose their past and
current business relationships and all sources
of income.
Koppelman may not have been hired by the
rail authority if the disclosures about his rela-
tionship with Cambridge and its owner were
known, Hill told the Daily Journal Monday
after he held a press conference in San
Francisco to announce the amendment.
The opinions of the ridership review panel
need to have greater scrutiny, Hill said.
AB 41 was initially crafted in response to a
story published in the Los Angeles Times Oct.
31, 2010, which revealed that members of the
rail authority were not required to abide by the
same conict of interest requirement as other
governmental bodies, including the California
Public Utilities Commission and the Coastal
Commission.
The story disclosed that two members of the
authority received more than $10,000 under
state law, the threshold for disclosing sources
of outside income in consulting fees from
rms with nancial interests in the project.
We have seen conicts in the past with the
board, Hill said. The public has the right to
know what business relationships consultants
have with all players involved.
Hill has renewed condence in the rail
authority considering Gov. Jerry Browns
recent appointments to the board.
Integrity and credibility need to be restored
to the project, Hill said. I have lots of con-
dence in the new makeup of the authority.
The rail authority has not taken a position on
Hills legislation and amendment.
The authority does support disclosure,
said Lisa Marie Burcar, the rail authoritys new
press secretary.

SAN FRANCISCO A jury has started

infringement trial pitting Oracle against

The federal case in San Francisco centers on
Oracles allegations that Googles popular
Android software for mobile devices relies on
technology stolen from Java. Thats a pro-
gramming platform that Oracle Corp.
acquired in 2010 as part of its $7.3 billion
acquisition of Sun Microsystems.
Google Inc. says it drew upon small parts of
Java that arent protected by copyright and tra-
ditionally have been freely available to all pro-
grammers.
The case was turned over to the 12-person
jury Monday afternoon after two weeks of tes-
timony and arguments. Oracle is seeking hun-
dreds of billions of dollars in damages.
After a verdict on copyright infringement is
reached, the parties will address allegations of

On a bipartisan 5-1 vote, the
Senate Environmental Quality
Committee Monday approved legis-
lation authored by state Sen. Leland
Yee, D-San Francisco/San Mateo, to
help reduce San Francisco Bay Area
pollution and trafc congestion.
Yees SB 1339 would allow the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District and the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission to adopt a regional commute
benet requirement of medium and large businesses, accord-
ing to Yees ofce.
Such a policy will ensure that employers (with more than
50 workers) help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conges-

pay for their public transit, vanpooling or bicycling expens-
es with pre-tax dollars, or by offering employees a transit or

County unveils housing for mentally disabled
Cameras will be installed on a trou-
bled 10-foot-wide paved pedestrian
walkway known as Memory Lane in San
Bruno in an effort to curb problems with
vandalism, loitering and alcohol and
drug use.
Last Tuesday, the San Bruno City
Council directed staff to complete the
research needed to implement the
$8,000 plan such as location and a time-
line. The installation came as a response
to neighborhood complaints.
Fourteen property owners whose
homes run up against the easement and
the owner of Grace Honda previously
approached the city about closing
Memory Lane in hopes of stopping
ongoing problems. In February, the City
Council postponed a decision on possi-
bly closing the walkway and instead
instructed staff to collect more informa-
tion about alternatives. In March, the
City Council pointed to the installation
of cameras and bollards to keep vehicles
from the area as a likely rst step in
addressing the problem but asked for
more information, including costs, for a
variety of options.
Cameras will cost $8,000 to install,
City Attorney Marc Zafferano wrote in a
staff report.
Bollards, which would be designed to
include motion sensor lights, would cost
$13,000. Simply fencing off the area
the preferred option by residents
could cost $6,200 to $13,000, depend-
ing on the type of fence. Closing the
walkway, however, isnt that simple.

Developers buy into Bay Meadows
Two developers have signed on to build
housing at the Bay Meadows Phase II devel-
opment in San Mateo.
Shea Homes will build a 93-unit communi-
ty while TRI Pointe Homes will build 63 units
on the site.
The Shea Homes project will overlook a 12-
acre park that will feature several oor plans
with two-, three- and four-bedroom homes.
The deal was reportedly worth more than
$18 million.
Bay Meadows Phase II includes three pub-
lic parks totaling 15 acres and a community
garden.
It will include 1,171 residential units, up to
1.5 million square feet of ofce space and
about 90,000 square feet of retail space.
It will be within walking distance of both
the Hayward Park and Hillsdale Caltrain sta-
tions.
Shea plans to start construction this summer
with sales starting in early 2013.
No charges for teacher
who struck and killed girl, 6
An East Palo Alto teacher who accidentally
struck and killed a 6-year-old girl in a cross-
walk last year will not be charged with a
crime, the San Mateo County District
Attorneys Ofce announced Monday.
Fern White-Parker was on her way to teach
at Costano Elementary School on Sept. 28
when she struck East Palo Alto girl Sioreli
Torres shortly after 8 a.m.
Torres, a Green Oaks Academy student, was
crossing Bay Road at Gloria Way on her way
to school when she was struck, according to
police. Her mother and two younger sisters
were a few feet behind her in the crosswalk.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said his
office worked with the East Palo Alto Police
Department to complete a thorough and
detailed investigation of the incident, which
included interviews with dozens of witness-
es.
Wagstaffe called the incident a tragic
case, but said the evidence did not suggest
that White-Parker had committed vehicular
manslaughter or broken any other laws.
Torres family has been informed of the
district attorneys decision, Wagstaffe said.
CafePress to move headquarters
San Mateo-based CafePress has
announced it is moving its headquarters to
Louisville, Ky. where it already has a pro-
duction facility.
The company, which makes personalized
T-shirts and coffee mugs among other items,
will invest about $16 million to expand the
Louisville facility and plans to hire nearly
600 new employees over the next 10 years.
The state of Kentucky offered the compa-
ny up to $10 million in tax incentives to
make the move.
The companys initial public offering in
March netted it nearly $85 million.
Garage fire spreads to roof
Firefighters in Belmont had to use foam to
extinguish a garage fire Sunday morning as
leaking fuel from the cars parked inside
added some danger to the incident.
At about 8 a.m. Sunday, firefighters were
called to the 2400 block of Lincoln Avenue
with reports of a large amount of smoke
coming from the garage, according to the
Belmont Fire Department.
As flames were showing from within the
garage, additional units from the county and
San Mateo also responded to the call.
The resident, a 66-year-old man, was able
to get out of the residence before firefighters
arrived, according to the fire department.
While the final cause has not been deter-
mined, preliminary investigation indicates
that the fire started in the garage and spread
to the roof. The garage and the two vehicles
parked inside sustained heavy damage.
There were no injuries to either the resident
or emergency personnel, according to the
fire department.
County kicks off
Stroke Awareness Month
San Mateo County is marking Stroke
Awareness Month by handing out informa-
tion to the morning Caltrain commuters at
five stations Tuesday morning and again at
various events during the Streets Alive/Parks
Alive event this weekend.
Stroke is the third leading cause of death
and the leading cause of disability nation-
wide. The countys stroke hospitals,
Peninsula Stroke Association, American
Medical Response, local fire service agen-
cies and elected officials are using the month
to teach residents about risk factors and
symptoms and how immediately calling 911
can make the difference
between life and death and
long-term disability.
The county has five stroke
hospitals Seton Medical
Center, Peninsula Hospital,
Kaiser South San Francisco,
Kaiser Redwood City and Sequoia Hospital.
Emergency medical service personnel are
trained to take patients suffering or suspect-
ed of having a stroke to one of those facili-
ties which is why calling 911 immediately is
critical.
Since the formation of the San Mateo
County Stroke System in 2007, the county
has been educating residents on the signs and
symptoms of stroke, and to call 911 when
they suspect a stroke, said Dr. Greg Gilbert,
county EMS medical director, in a prepared
statement. Calling 911 immediately is criti-
cal because EMS responders are trained to
take people with stroke symptoms directly to
the right hospital, where they can receive
time-sensitive treatment.
Symptoms calling for immediate 911 con-
tact are:
Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or
understanding;
Sudden trouble seeing or blurred vision;
Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of
balance or coordination;
Sudden severe headache with no known
cause;
Sudden difculty talking or understand-
ing words; and
Sudden numbness or weakness of face,
arm or leg, especially on one side of the body.
Stroke risk factors that can be avoided
include high blood pressure, high cholesterol
and smoking.
Sheriff s Office issues 50
citations in San Carlos Friday night
A traffic-enforcement campaign Friday
night by the San Mateo County Sheriffs
Ofce resulted in 50 citations issued in San
Carlos for speeding, failing to stop and turn
violations.
The Sheriffs Motorcycle Enforcement
Unit focused their attention in areas through-
out San Carlos due to the number of com-
plaints, accidents and vehicle volume.
Other citations were issued for drivers
using cellphones, according to the Sheriffs
Office.
Phone scam asks for
money to help jailed relatives
Police in South San Francisco are warning
the public about a phone scam reported by
several residents over the past few months.
Investigators say the scam artists contact
residents and pretend to be an officer or pub-
lic official calling on behalf of a resident
being held in jail in a foreign country.
Police said the countries most commonly
named by the scam artists are Canada, the
Dominican Republic or countries in Central
America.
The scammers typically say the family
member has been arrested for drunken driv-
ing or another crime, and then say they need
money to get that person out of jail, police
said.
Victims have sent thousands of dollars
via Western Union believing they were
helping their loved ones, police said.
Elderly residents are often targeted by
the phone scam artists, but all residents are
being warned against the scheme.
Police advise residents who receive such
a phone call to obtain as much information
as possible from the caller and confirm the
information with other family members
before sending any money.
Any questions can be directed to South
San Francisco police at (650) 877-8900.
Five armed men rob home
Five armed men driving a black sport
utility vehicle forced their way into a home
on the first block of North Idaho Street
Friday night and robbed the three occu-
pants inside, according to San Mateo
police.
The home appeared to be targeted by the
suspects and was not a random act, accord-
ing to police.
The suspects in the case are described as
dark-skinned males in about their early 30s
and of mixed ethnicity. All of the suspects
appeared to be armed and a suspect vehicle
used in this crime is a dark-colored, full-
size SUV, according to police.
Anyone with information about the inci-
dent should call police at (650) 522-7650;
the Secret Witness hotline at (650) 522-
7676; or an anonymous text to the SMPD at
(650) 262-3473.
Robbery victim injured
while clinging to car
A 35-year-old San Jose resident suffered
serious injuries Saturday afternoon in San
Mateo after being robbed. The victim clung
to the suspects vehicle as it fled the area
near 22nd and Isabelle avenues and was
transported to a local hospital suffering seri-
ous injuries, according to police.
The suspects in the case were driving a
gold or tan 1990s vintage compact vehicle
and the vehicle was occupied by two
Hispanic suspects, at least one of whom was
female, according to police.

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

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. Once a moment of
national unity, the political battle over Osama
bin Ladens death intensi-
ed Monday as presumptive
Republican presidential
candidate Mitt Romney
sought to minimize the role
President Barack Obama
has carved out for himself in
killing the terrorist leader.
The presidents re-elec-
tion campaign has raised
questions about Romneys
willingness to assassinate
the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks on New York
and Washington. Obama authorized the U.S.
military raid in Pakistan that ended with bin
Ladens death after a decade in hiding one year
ago this week.
Romney pushed back Monday, saying of
course he would have made the same decision.
Even Jimmy Carter would have given that
order, Romney said, referencing the former
president in his answer to a reporters question
after a campaign appearance in New
Hampshire.
Romney was scheduled to appear Tuesday in
New York City with reghters and former
Mayor Rudy Giuliani to help mark
Wednesdays anniversary of bin Ladens death.
Obama and his national security team will be
featured in a NBC prime-time special
Wednesday night that reconstructs the operation
from inside the White House Situation Room.
Obama said Monday that the anniversary is a
time for reection, not celebration.
I hardly think youve seen any excessive cel-
ebration taking place here, he said at a White
House news conference. I think that people,
the American people, rightly remember what
we as a country accomplished in bringing to jus-
tice somebody who killed over 3,000 of our cit-
izens.
But Obama is using the successful military
operation to help maximize a political narrative
that portrays him as having the courage to make
the tough calls his opponent might not.
Bin Laden was killed his compound in
Abbottabod, Pakistan, by U.S. Navy SEALs
after evading capture for nearly 10 years.
Obama sent in the U.S. forces with no assur-
ance that bin Laden was at the site, leading to a
heart-pounding scene in the Situation Room
that was captured in one of the most famous
photos of Obamas presidency.
Tech exec gets 22 years
in prison for $30M fraud
SAN FRANCISCO A former high-tech
executive convicted of defrauding investors of
at least $30 million was sentenced Monday to
22 years in prison after a judge denounced him
for eecing nearly 100 victims to nance an
obscene lifestyle of private jets, gaudy jewel-
ry and Swiss bank accounts.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer said
Samuel Mouli Cohen was nearly sociopath-
ic for refusing to show remorse for actor
Danny Glover and others who suffered after he
told them a company Cohen launched called
Ecast that made electronic jukeboxes for bars
was about to be acquired by Microsoft Corp.
The fraud caused the collapse of the nonprof-
it charity Vanguard Public Foundation, which
Glover and singer Harry Belafonte founded in
1972, prosecutors said.
In more than 40 years of experience with the
criminal justice system, I have never encoun-
tered a con man like Mr. Cohen, Breyer told
the defendant, who stood impassively in tan,
jailhouse garb as emotional victims watched
from the courtroom gallery. He is serial in his
proclivity to commit cons. He is nearly socio-
pathic in his ability to relate to his victims.
Breyer scheduled a Thursday hearing to
determine the amount of nes and restitution to
order against Cohen. Federal prosecutors are
seeking restitution of $29.7 million. forfeiture
of $31.4 million and a $250,000 ne.
Dr. Oz urges California
state workers to get fit
SACRAMENTO California state workers
have been furloughed, laid off and targeted for
pension reforms. Now, a popular TV personali-
ty is urging them to shape up and eat right.
Dr. Mehmet Oz joined California state of-
cials Monday in launching a pilot workplace-
wellness program aimed at getting public
workers to improve their health as a way to save
the state money on health care costs.
The host of The Dr. Oz Show appeared
with the state controller and state treasurer in
Sacramento to launch Health Happens in the
Workplace, which will focus on preventing
chronic diseases.
Remember, for every
dollar we invest to make
you healthier, the state and
you save three bucks, Oz
told a crowd of several
hundred state workers
gathered in the outdoor
courtyard of the California
Museum. Its the wisest
decision.
A study commissioned by the state con-
trollers ofce found that California could save
between $18 million and $54 million a year if
between 5 percent and 15 percent of its govern-
ment workers are able to prevent chronic dis-
eases.
The study by the Urban Institute found that
California spent $1.6 billion on health care in
2008. About 22 percent, or $362 million, was
spent on preventable conditions such as dia-
betes, heart disease and high blood pressure.
Chefs seek repeal of
looming foie gras ban
In 2004, the California Legislature gave foie
gras producers seven years to nd a humane
way to create the duck liver delicacy without
forcing food down the birds throats.
With the law set to take effect the July 1,
some of the states top chefs on Monday were
attempting to overturn it. A hundred have
signed a petition saying they want to keep the
sale of foie gras legal and establish new regula-
tions for raising the birds. They are visiting
with their representatives trying to accomplish
an uphill task: nding someone to sponsor a bill
to repeal it in time.
Their 11th hour attempt has rufed the feath-
ers of the bans original sponsor.
I gave them seven years seven years, and
I shouldnt have and now theyre all going,
Oh my God, I just dont know how were
going to survive, said former president pro
tem of the state Senate, John Burton, now the
state Democratic Party Chairman. Im so infu-
riated with the bad faith going on here that
words cannot describe it.
Romney says of course
he would have ordered
Osama bin Laden killed

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama gave a steely defense of his han-
dling of the raid that
killed Osama bin Laden
and his use of it to bur-
nish his re-election cre-
dentials a year later,
saying Monday that it
is appropriate to mark
an anniversary that
Republicans charge is
being turned into a
campaign bumper
sticker.
He then jumped at the chance to portray
presumed Republican presidential chal-
lenger Mitt Romney as unprepared to make
the kind of hard call required to send U.S.
forces on that highly risky mission.
Without mentioning Romney by name,
Obama recommended looking at peoples
previous statements on the manhunt for the
9/11 mastermind.
Obamas re-election team has seized on
a quote from Romney in 2007, when he
said it was not worth moving heaven and
earth to go after one person. On Monday,
Romney said he of course would have
ordered bin Laden killed, but his campaign
criticized Obama for turning the successful
death raid to political gain.
I assume that people meant what they
said when they said it, Obama said at a
White House news conference. Thats
been at least my practice. I said that Id go
after bin Laden if we had a clear shot at
him, and I did. If there are others who have
said one thing and now suggest theyd do
something else, then Id go ahead and let
them explain it.
Obama is using the May 2 anniversary to
help maximize a political narrative that
portrays him as bold and decisive. Romney
has sought to cast Obama as weak and too
quick to compromise on other foreign pol-
icy matters, including Irans nuclear ambi-
tions.

MADRID As their losses from
mortgages grow, Spanish banks
have begun discussions about creat-
ing a separate entity a bad bank
to take on these assets and relieve
pressure on the nancial sector.
The goal of the new organization
would be to reduce the nancial
strain on banks and prevent the need
for either a more costly government
bailout or an international rescue
along the lines of Greece, Portugal
and Ireland.
The urgency of the issue was
highlighted by ratings agency
Standard & Poors, which down-
graded the debt of 11 Spanish banks
including Banco Santander SA,
the eurozones largest by market
capitalization. S&P cited concerns
about the effects of Spains shrink-
ing economy and warned that ve
other banks are at risk of a similar
downgrade.
An official for the Economy
Ministry said Monday that the
Spanish banking industry is dis-
cussing creating a private organiza-
tion that would take on lenders
toxic assets.
These assets would include bad
loans, such as defaulted mortgage
loans left over from the imploded
property market. The new organiza-
tion would also take the burden of
trying to sell foreclosed properties
off the banks and allow them to con-
centrate on providing credit to the
private sector.
The ofcial, who spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity in line with min-
istry rules, added that the govern-
ment would not inject any taxpayer
money into the creation of such an
organization and would only set up
rules for how it would work.
Banks would be able to transfer
toxic assets only if they had already
set aside money to cover losses on
them. How far such a system would
help the banks is unclear since many
are strapped for cash and would
need to raise capital to make such
provisions.
Ireland, which like Spain suffered
the collapse of its real estate market,
created such a bad bank in 2009.
However, it used taxpayer money to
buy the toxic assets from the banks
at reduced prices.
Adding to concerns about Spain
on Monday, the National Statistics
Institute announced the country was
ofcially back in recession as of the
first quarter, when the economy
shrank 0.3 percent compared with
the previous three months. The con-
traction follows a similar decline in
the nal quarter of last year and puts
Spain in its second recession in three
years.

WASHINGTON The blind
Chinese lawyer at the center of a
diplomatic storm between
Washington and Beijing is a taboo
topic in each capital. Neither side
wants the biggest human-rights
issue between the two since
Tiananmen Square to disrupt high-
level strategic and economic talks
set to begin on
Thursday.
P r e s i d e n t
Barack Obamas

and Chinas of-
cials have sig-
naled that the

which millions of lives are at stake
have become far more important
in U.S.-Chinese relations. Thus,
both refuse to admit anything is
amiss as a high-prole dissident is
believed to be sheltering with U.S.
diplomats in China.
To listen to ofcials in both coun-
tries, Chen Guangcheng is an invis-
ible man.
Obama himself refused to address
the issue on Monday, declining to
conrm that the blind lawyer is
under U.S. protection in China or
that American diplomats are
attempting to negotiate an agree-
ment for him to receive asylum.
Obviously, Im aware of the
press reports on the situation in
China, but Im not going to make a
statement on the issue, the presi-
dent said at a joint White House
news conference with Japanese
Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda.

OPINION 9
Letters to the editor
By Barbara LaRaia
I
thought Belmonts 19 percent sewer
rate increase (9.5 percent per year for
two years) was high until learning
about San Brunos proposal to raise the
entire utility bill (water, garbage and sewer)
22.4 percent, each year compounded for ve
years. Currently, my bimonthly utility bill is
around $200 lower than most San Bruno
residents. If the increase gets approved, next
year it will be more than $250; year two
more than $300; year three about $366;
year four approximately $450 and year 5
will be more than $500.
San Brunos proposed utility rate increase
would be the highest in the area, and is unaf-
fordable to residents, especially in this fragile
economy. And larger families will suffer
because a third, higher-cost rate tier will be
added. Cities should be emulating good busi-
ness practices by slashing rates, not raising
them. And they should focus on enhancing
the general fund (Unfortunately, San Bruno
has been known to borrow money from
the water/sewer fund to deposit into the gen-
eral fund using creative nancing methods.
Yet, the water/sewer fund is supposed to be a
stand-alone fund) through spending cuts;
aggressive economic development by attract-
ing new businesses with incentives, as
opposed to overregulation and overtaxation;
and by reining in unsustainable pensions,
salaries and benets. The idea of raising rates
on the 99 percent, while having given mil-
lions of dollars of free, underground infra-
structure to the developers of the former
Navy base property is troubling.
This rate increase could have dire conse-
quences. We will be seeing an increase in
brown lawns, more foreclosures and a
decline in property values. Renters will be
adversely affected as well. An elderly land-
lord couple I know of has a current utility
bill of $600 for a rental duplex. With the rate
increase, it will be a whopping $1,400 by
year ve. Most assuredly,
San Bruno renters will
receive rent increases so
landlords can cover esca-
lating utility costs. And
condominium complexes
are in jeopardy if this
increase passes. There is a
already a record number
of foreclosures and non-
payment of homeowners
dues as it is. Peninsula ofcials have been
squawking that there is a lack of affordable
housing, yet they enact laws that diminish
the number of affordable places in which to
live. Additionally, when people have less
money to spend in their city due to rising
fees, taxes, etc., the citys income is dimin-
ished from less sales tax, and it all becomes a
vicious cycle.
Then there are the laundromats, on which
many renters depend. Laundromats (and even
the condominiums) have higher (commercial)
rates than residential users. Assuredly, if the
increase is approved, laundromat owners will
need to increase rates for use of their
machines. And restaurants will suffer, having
to raise prices to cover expenses. Again, less
people will dine out, meaning less tax to the
general fund of the city, with business own-
ers hurting all the while.
There are things that can be done in San
Bruno to significantly lower water and
wastewater costs. Since we have many natu-
ral underground springs, it would be prudent
to depend more on our own water delivery
system. When all our wells are up and run-
ning, residents get 65 percent of their water
from wellwater, and the rest from Hetch
Hetchy. One-hundred percent independence
could be a goal. Another idea, which to its
credit San Bruno did once in 2008, is to
eliminate more of our costly sewer pump
stations by re-routing pipes to flow down-
hill. I understand this saves a huge amount
of money in operating costs and has the
potential to keep sewer rates low.
Now is the time for cities to come up with
creative ways to serve the people (Our elect-
ed ofcials are, indeed, called public ser-
vants), instead of punishing them with high-
er taxes, fees and surcharges. By allowing
people to keep more of their own money,
which is scant nowadays, cities will see more
sales tax generated for their general funds.
By enacting some creative utility water
billing, our ofcials could nancially reward
those who reduce their water use signicant-
ly. This reward could be through dollar cred-
its on water bills, or other ways. If elected
ofcials rewarded water users, droughts
would have less impact on Californians.
According to state law, city councils must
allow citizens to protest utility rate increases
either in writing and/or by speaking at the
mandated public hearing (May 8 for San
Bruno). We must wake up to the fact that
water is the new gold, and in some countries
there will be water wars. Lets not have any
revenue battles in our local cities. Hopefully,
the City Council will understand the nancial
stress of a utility bill increase for residents,
and do the right thing by keeping the rates
the same, or even offering nancial incen-
tives for lower water use.

Missing the point
Editor,
In response to letter by Robert M. Berger
Waiting To Occupy in the April 27 edition
of the Daily Journal, talk about missing the
point.
It seems to me that the goal here is to pro-
vide several thousand new housing units in
an area that desperately needs places for peo-
ple to live without commuting from
Stockton. According to our census report
2010, we have 13,194 vacant housing units.

Fewer people registering
for Susan G. Komen races
Editor,
Money talks, and when an organization as
powerful as the Susan G. Komen foundation
thinks that they can get away with whatever
they want at the cost of others, it is good to
know that we still can let them know that we
do not agree with them. It is a little too late
for the foundation to take back its words, and
the scary part is that, although the foundation
reinstated funding for Planned Parenthood,
the foundations decision can change at any
time again. I hope the Susan G. Komen
foundation heard us loud and clear when we
did not support their races this year.

Minions of Wall Street
Editor,
It was a little over two years ago that
Lehman Brothers, deluged by its toxic assets,
went under and took the lifetime savings of
millions of Americans down with it.
Since then, not one Lehman executive has
been indicted for this criminal carnage, and I
gather none will be. Meanwhile, the govern-
ment bails out the banks responsible for writ-
ing those fraudulent mortgages so that they
can foreclose on millions of irresponsible
American homeowners whose chief mistake
was to trust the banks. Could anything make
it clearer how fully our government and both
major parties have become minions of Wall
Street? It is not a joke; it is the truth. We
have the worst government money can buy.
Sadly, we are no longer a republic. We are an
oligarchy.

Cheating sons dad
deserves backlash
W
ell, duh. The father suing the
Sequoia Union High School
District for bouncing his cheating
son out from an advanced English class into a
different college preparatory course was
incredulous at the
strong public reac-
tion after news of
the lawsuit was
rst reported.
Jack Berghouse
said he was receiv-
ing a lot of hate
calls at his law
ofce.
I had no freak-
ing idea this would
happen, he is
quoted as saying.
Hes got to be
freaking kidding, right?
A parent admits his child, along with three
others, cheated having knowingly signed an
academic honesty pledge at the beginning of
the year and his reaction is to point ngers at
Sequoia High School for doling out what he
called a disproportionate punishment (By the
way, what would be appropriate? Sentences
on the chalk board?) and worry about his
sons chances now at attending an Ivy League
school. Did he seriously not think there would
be at least some public backlash?
Berghouse is further quoted as saying his
son knows cheating is wrong said that being
kicked out of the advanced class could cause
permanent harm and asked if it will keep
him from a university and have far-ranging
consequences in the type of job he can get.
Maybe the boy should opt for politics.
Those guys have a a reputation for thinking
the rules dont apply to them.
Berghouse may have a point about the
Redwood City school having conicting pla-
giarism policies. Yet, why didnt that concern
come up at the time the boy signed the pledge
instead of after the fact? Claiming ignorance
of a signed contracts contents isnt usually a
defense carrying a lot of sympathy and justice.
Perhaps a judge will nd removal from the
English class disproportionate as Berghouse
contends.
Thats for that court to determine. But out
here in the court of public opinion, based on
nothing more than the lawsuit and the fathers
published comments, he sounds out of touch
with a public that still puts some stock in
decency and ethics.
So when I read of the fathers surprise at the
reaction, all I can think is duh. Id like to
offer a more poignant response but out here in
the real word plagiarizing from a more elo-
quent source will carry consequences a lot
stiffer than a classroom shift. The strong senti-
ments Berghouse is hearing is a sign that a
vocal majority think that lesson is better
learned now rather than at that prized Ivy
League or when adulthood requires making
the right decisions.
Of course, perhaps Berghouse ought to
expect solidarity from other parents the
ones who do their childrens homework, who
balk when school coaches dare bench their
darlings, who cry foul in every direction but
their son or daughter when they dont come
out on top in everything, the ones who cant
allow their children the bruises and scars that
come with fumbling their way to adulthood.
The Berghouses could very well be the best
parents on Earth, working hard to instill in
their son a sense of propriety and the ability to
make good choices. But apparently in this
instance of homework, all the teaching in the
world didnt keep the teen from admittedly
making an error in judgment. It happens; far
be it from any of the rest of us to throw stones
about childhood mistakes.
But now the test at hand is about reaction
and it should come as no surprise when the
public cringes at the familys litigious lesson
in assigning blame.

NEW YORK News that Spain had
entered another recession renewed wor-
ries about the fragility of Europes
finances Monday and nudged stocks
lower. The market ended its rst losing
month this year.
Disappointing economic reports and
weak corporate earnings also weighed
on stocks. The Standard & Poors 500
index slipped 5.45 points to close at
1,397.91. For April, it was down 0.8 per-
cent, its rst month in the red since
November.
The Spanish government said that the
countrys economy shrank in the rst
three months of the year, the second
straight quarter of contraction.
The worry is that Spains economy
could be too big to rescue. Its twice as
big as the combined economies of
Greece, Portugal and Ireland, the three
countries that have received bailout
loans.
In the U.S., a drop in an index of
Midwestern manufacturing and a slow-
down in consumer spending last month
added to worries that the economy is los-
ing steam.
The Institute for Supply Management
said its Chicago business barometer fell
in April to the lowest level in more than
two years. After weak readings for the
New York and Philadelphia regions, the
market reaction to the Chicago report
could have been much worse, said Clark
Yingst, chief market analyst at the bro-
kerage Joseph Gunnar.
Its very bad news in my opinion,
Yingst said. Id have thought the market
would come under more pressure than it
has.
Weaker earnings reports from health
insurer Humana and the owner of the
New York Stock Exchange, NYSE
Euronext, also hurt stock indexes.
The Dow Jones industrial average
edged down 14.68 points to close at
13,213.63, but narrowly avoided its rst
monthly loss since September. The Dow
nished April up less than two points.
The Nasdaq composite fell 22.84
points to 3,046.36. It posted a monthly
loss of 1.5 percent.
Growing concerns about Spain
knocked European markets lower on
Monday. Spains main stock index, the
IBEX 35, sank 1.9 percent. Frances
CAC-40 lost 1.6 percent.

Big movers
By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON Americans
increased their spending more slowly in
March, a sign that scant pay increases
may be causing consumers to become
more cautious.
Their spending rose 0.3 percent last
month, just one-third the increase in
February.
Slow wage growth and softer con-
sumer spending gains are the latest evi-
dence that the economy might be weak-
ening after a strong rst two months.
Economists say a warm winter made
the economy look better because it
caused some activity that normally
occurs in spring from hiring to home
sales to occur in January and
February. That made Marchs gain
smaller.
A more troubling factor in the long
run is that Americans are receiving little
or no pay raises. Real income
income adjusted for ination has
been growing too slowly to sustain
healthy increases in consumer spending,
many economists say.
After-tax income rose just 0.6 percent
in the rst three months of 2012 com-
pared with a year earlier. That was the
smallest gain in two years.
Real incomes will need to grow at a
faster rate to prevent consumption
growth from slowing, said Paul Dales,
senior U.S. economist at Capital
Economics.
Before the Great Recession, a healthy
gain in consumer spending was between
5 percent and 6 percent a year. Marchs
increase was roughly half that pace.
And if income, adjusted for ination,
continued to grow at Marchs rate, the
annual growth would be roughly 2.5 per-
cent. While thats better than a decline,
economists consider it a weak gure.
U.S. consumer spending slowed in March
B&N, Microsoft team up on
Nook and college businesses
By Peter Svensson
NEW YORK Books and bits united Monday as Microsoft
provided an infusion of money to help Barnes & Noble com-
pete with top electronic bookseller Amazon. In exchange,
Microsoft gets a long-desired foothold in the business of e-
books and college textbooks.
With Microsoft Corp.s $300 million investment, the two
companies are teaming up to create a subsidiary for Barnes &
Nobles e-book and college textbook businesses. Microsoft is
taking a 17.6 percent stake in the venture.
The agreement underscores the importance of electronic
bookstores as traditional booksellers and technology compa-
nies jockey for position in the increasingly competitive market.
While no denitive numbers exist, e-books are believed to
account for some 20 percent of book sales in the U.S.
For Microsoft, the investment is a way to get back into the e-
book business. It has dabbled in the eld since at least 2000,
but never developed much traction.
Coca-Cola denies Monster acquisition rumors
Monster Beverage Corp.s shares soared on Monday follow-
ing a report that Coca-Cola Co. was considering buying the
energy drink maker, but the worlds biggest soft drink maker
later denied the discussions are under way.
The Wall Street Journal cited unnamed people in reporting
that Coca-Cola was in talks to buy Monster. If a deal tran-
spired, Monster would be Coca-Colas largest brand acquisi-
tion ever.
Coca-Cola said late Monday that no such discussion is in
process.
Monster declined to discuss the matter, citing company pol-
icy.

EPL ALL TIED UP: CITY BEATS UNITED IN MANCHESTER DERBY >>> PAGE 15
PAL track champions crowned, finals set
The Peninsula Athletic League has begun
crowning its champions.
Over the weekend at the PAL track and eld
championships, six individual winners in
three different eld events took home gold in
their respective disciplines, while runners
qualied for the nals next Friday at Terra
Nova.
Sabrina Mendoza, reigning San Mateo
Daily Journal Girls Track Athlete of the Year,
took home rst place in the girls shot put with
a throw of 36 feet. Her Mills teammate,
Moreen Pahulu, nished third. Anya Tonga of
Sequoia came in second.
In the girls high jump, Maggie Galle of
Half Moon Bay was two inches better than
Chanel Joyce of Aragon in capturing the gold.
Farideh Loveless of Sequoia was third.
On the boys side, Carlmont went 1-2 in the
pole vault with Theo Yen and Brook Cottong
both jumping a height of 12-6. Menlo-
Athertons Ian Proulx took third.
In the long jump, Elliot Surovell, also of
Carlmont, took rst with a jump of 21-5.
Aragons JD Elzie was second at 20-8.
DiJonn WIlliams nished third.
In the boys discus, Patrick Paunis 143-5
was good for rst. Abhineet Ram of Sequoia
and Dominic DeSouza of Terra Nova nished
second and third respectively.
Qualifying was the name of the game in the
running events.
In the girls races, Breanna Navaree of
South City is seeded rst with a time of 12.89
in the 100 meter dash. Shell try to fend off the
likes of Melissa Wood (Carlmont) and one of
the breakout stars from last years champi-
onships, Naomi Tovar of Menlo-Atherton.
Navaree and Wood are also 1-2 in the 200
meter dash qualifying. Catherine Carpenter
will be third.
Greer Chrisman, a Burlingame sophomore,
is seeded rst with a 59.83 in the 400 meter
dash. Carpenter is third there as well.
All eyes will be on the 800 meter run with
Westmoors Kylie Goo and Lauren Croshaw,
reigning San Mateo Daily Journal Girls Cross
Country Athlete of Year, continuing their
rivalry. Chinn, also of Aragon, is third.
Goo and Croshaw are also 1-2 in the 1600
meter run. Burlingames Catherine Lowdon is
third.
Sequoias Bulou Mataitoga qualied No. 1
in both the 100 and 300 meter hurdles. Kelly
Calauman of Westmoor and Half Moon Bays
Danielle Peranich are behind her in the 100,
and Greer Chrisman plus Savana Kiefer trail
T
he Peninsula Athletic League is
borrowing from its past in hopes
of bettering the future. Last week,
the PALs Board of Managers voted to
change the way the PAL basketball divi-
sions are aligned. Gone is the three-divi-
sion setup based on power rankings and is
the 2004 version of the PAL basketball
standings based on geography: 10 teams in
the South Division and eight teams in the
North Division. The
PAL is hoping this
will generate more
interest in the game
as many fans and
coaches believe the
power-based divi-
sions ruined natural
rivalries and damp-
ened fans enthusi-
asm.
There were very
strong feelings from
coaches and athletic
directors that they
were losing money at the gate, (that they)
were losing meaningful games, said PAL
commissioner Terry Stogner. If Aragon is
playing Hillsdale, you might get a local
(neighborhood) crowd. Aragon-Terra
Nova? Not so much.

Caps big battle
Mustangs, Burlingame take to the field in fight against breast cancer
DAILY JOURNAL SPORTS FILE
Capuchino shortstop Jennifer Lewis,along with the rest of her Mustang teammates,will take
to the eld Tuesday in a Breast Cancer Awareness Game against Burlingame high school.
Admission to the 4 p.m. game at Capuchino is free, but donations are more than welcomed.
See PAL, Page 13
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Capuchinos Jennifer Lewis is known for
being one of the best softball players in the
Peninsula Athletic League.
On Tuesday, she, along with her teammates
and the Burlingame softball team will take
their swings for a great cause.
Behind Lewis efforts, the Mustangs have
organized the 2012 Breast Cancer Game, in
collaboration with Swing for Life.
Founded in 2002, Swing for Life is an
organization that helps organize fundraising
for breast cancer awareness. Swing for Life is
supported by more than 54 high school soft-
ball, baseball, volleyball, basketball, soccer,
golf and tennis teams in the state of Utah as
well as 35 high school teams across the states.
As of 2009, colleges from more than six states
will join in the ght against breast cancer.
In 2012, Lewis, Capuchino and Burlingame
join that battle.
Ive always wanted to do a fundraiser
game, Lewis said. And, I was sitting with
my dad one night and we heard a couple of
high school teams in San Jose were doing
fundraiser games and the SF State did one. So,
I wanted to do something different and do
something with my team that could bring the
community together.
Lewis was put in contact with Swing for
Life by coaches at San Francisco State
University. The Capuchino shortstop (and
catcher) said once she got ahold of the organ-
ization, she knew she had found her partner.
The thing that attracted me to Swing For
Life was that it was kind of intimate, Lewis
said. I got to talk to the director one on one
through email so there was some level of inti-
macy. To be able to talk to her personally was
a good feeling and we had a connection
because I didnt have to go through different
people. The organization was so up for it.
Since we are a high school team, I didnt know
how they were going to take it.
Immediately, with the support of her team-
mates, Lewis began the process of getting the
word out; fundraising by putting together
sponsor sheets and getting donations from the
Capuchino softball community.
The team has been really supportive,
Lewis said. They were up for it when I
announced it to them. They love to organize
things.
Lewis said shes gotten tremendous cooper-
ation from Burlingame high school, who will
be their opponent for the game. She said one
of friends on the Panthers team, centerelder

Mataitoga in the 300 qualifying stand-
ings.
On the boys side, Elzie will try to lay
claim to the fastest man on the

time of 11.23 was good for a rst place
qualifying mark. Clark Tolero of Terra
Nova and Shane Callan of Carlmont are
2-3.
Tolero is also second in the 200 meter
dash where Surovell qualied in rst.
Michael Berry of San Mateo rounds out

In the 800, Chris Waschura of
Woodside was the only runner to crack
the two-minute mark in qualifying. And
hell try to duplicate his dominating per-
formance from last seasons champi-
onships. He qualied fth in the 1600

COLLEGE BASEBALL UPDATE
Following press time Sunday evening,
the California Community College
Baseball Coaches Association made
some changes to reect the updated
standings for the upcoming baseball
playoffs.
As such, No. 14 Caada College will
travel to No. 4 Fresno City College to
begin their postseason run. It was initial-
ly reported the Colts would play Ohlone.
But Caada and Chabot College were
moved in the bracket to avoid a confer-
ence matchup in rst round.
The No. 2 seed College of San Mateo
will draw the highest remaining seed
from the play-in games Los Medanos
(No. 18) at Cabrillo (No. 15) and Butte
(No. 17) at Sacramento (No. 16).
CAL-HI ALL-STATE BASKETBALL
Cal-Hi Sports, which this year is part
of ESPN's high school network,
announced their All-State Boys

PAL
and No. 3 hitter Gretchen Diekman, has helped with the
organization on the other side. Shes been getting the word
out for me, Lewis said. Shes been doing a good job.
The cause wasnt randomly chosen by Lewis. Weve de-
nitely had family friends whove had breast cancer, she said.
A seniors mom at our school has been affected by it. My
moms aunt has breast cancer. One of our really close family
friends who weve known through softball is still battling with
breast cancer.
That friend is Estella Rodriguez. She, along with Laura
Davis, will actually throw out the rst pitch in Tuesdays
game.
Lewis and the Mustangs have set some lofty fundraising
goals. Already, Capuchino has raised more than $1,000 in
sponsorships. Lewis said the goal is anywhere between
$3,000-$5,000.
The fundraising efforts continue during Tuesdays game.
Fans are encouraged to attend and while the admission to
the game is free, there will be a donation table behind the
home plate backstop where people can donate.
Every $5 donation gets you a breast cancer game souvenir.
Hats and visors will also be on sale. Lewis also designed a T-
shirt that will be available at the game.
Refreshments will also be for sale.
Those who cannot attend the game but still wish to help
Capuchino and Burlingame in their efforts can email Lewis
directly at cap2012breastcancergame@yahoo.com.
Any monetary donation in the form of a check can be made
out to Swing for Life.
Game time is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Capuchino softball
eld in San Bruno.

Raiders to help local schools
The Oakland Raiders have announced
a new plan to help local schools while
lling stadium seats.
Raiders CEO Amy Trask says the
team will donate 10 percent of the gross
proceeds of new season tickets pur-
chased and paid for from May 1 to June
30 to the Oakland Unified School
District.
The price of Raiders season tickets
ranges from $260 for upper-level seats
to $1,510 for premium tickets.
Oakland schools have endured teacher
layoffs and some closures in recent
years as ofcials get back on nancial
track.
The state took over the district in 2003
after ofcials ran up a decit of roughly
$82 million. The district regained con-
trol in 2009, but is still making annual
debt payments of about $6 million.
SORGI COMES IN FOR TRYOUT
The Oakland Raiders are bringing in
quarterback Jim Sorgi for a tryout.
Sorgis agent, Matt Brei, said Sorgi
will work out for Oakland on Tuesday.
The Raiders are looking for a veteran
backup quarterback to play behind
starter Carson Palmer. They are also
bringing in Matt Leinart this week.
Sorgi spent six years in Indianapolis
as Peyton Mannings backup. He spent
the 2010 season with the New York
Giants on injured reserve with a right
shoulder injury and did not play last sea-
son.
The only other quarterbacks on the
roster currently are Terrelle Pryor and
Rhett Bomar.
Lakers F Jordan Hill
charged with assault
EL SEGUNDO Los Angeles Lakers
forward Jordan Hill faces a felony
assault charge after his girlfriend
accused him of choking and shoving her
in Houston earlier this year.
Hill is charged with assaulting 28-
year-old Darlene Luna on Feb. 29 at his
apartment while the New York Knicks
former rst-round draft pick was playing
for the Houston Rockets.
The 24-year-old Hill was charged by
Harris County prosecutors in March,
and he has a court appearance scheduled
for Tuesday in Houston.
Hill was apologetic, but said little
about the accusations after the Lakers
practice at their training complex
Monday.
I just want to apologize to fans, to the
Lakers, the organization, to everyone,
Hill said. I cant speak on it right now.
Im going to let my attorney, my agents
take care of that. Unfortunately, it hap-
pened at this time, but Im going to keep
my head up, keep working, keep play-
ing.
When asked if he would be able to
play in Game 2 of the Lakers playoff
series against Denver, Hill replied: Ill
be here, but well see.
The charge could affect a remarkable
recent rise by the 6-foot-10 Hill, who
has contributed valuable minutes off the
bench for the Lakers in three straight
games after playing little since arriving
March 15 in a trade for Derek Fisher.
Hill had 10 points and 10 rebounds
while playing 24 minutes in the Lakers
103-88 series-opening victory over
Denver on Sunday.

While basketball has kind of been a third
wheel to football and baseball as far as the
number of athletes who move on to meaning-
ful college and sometimes professional
careers, there may not be any more passion-
ate sport in the PAL than basketball. Large
turnouts at gyms around the PAL were the
norm but, over the last several years, the col-
lective din surrounding PAL hoops has
become muted.
The 2013 PAL division alignment is one
that hasnt been used since the 2004 season.
In 2006, the Board of Managers voted to
split the PAL into three divisions, based on
geography. For the last two years, the PAL
has used division settings based on power
rankings.
While the power-ranking formula may be
the most equitable the PAL has produced
some of its best, balanced basketball using
the power system the lack of crowds told
another story. Plus, the Friday night quad
the four-game Friday night that was the per-
fect kickoff to the weekend suddenly
became a confusing morass of teams coming
and going, along with their fans.
The changing of formats brings some good
and some bad consequences, however. On
the plus side, the PAL is hoping that aligning
teams based on location will drive some
energy back into the PAL game. Also, Friday
night quads will be highlighted for the 2013
season. All traditional rivalry games will be
on Friday nights no more rivalry games
on a weekday afternoon.
The PAL tournament will also be affected,
but the changes should make it a much more
interesting event. Instead of taking all the
teams and play them off just nd out the top
four teams in the Bay Division were in the
seminals, next year the top four teams from
each division make the tournament. The
South Divisions No. 1 seed will play the
Norths No. 4 and so on. Hopefully, it will
result in some fresh blood and renewed inter-
est in the tournament.
On the downside, every team will be play-
ing three-game weeks two times during the
PAL season and the PAL may end up the
lower end of a Central Coast Section seeding
when it comes to playoff time.
The only negative came from schools that
are very strong (in basketball), Stogner said.
When they go to the table at CCS and sit
down and discuss strength of the league they
play in, its going to be a negative. That was
the division of the votes.
Teams that are strong every year would
prefer to stay in a power-league setting, but
its the big picture were looking at (in the
PAL).
It appears the CCS team tennis tournament
will use the same confusing formula for the
boys tournament this week that was used
during the fall for the girls tournament.
Just to refresh your memory, just a couple
weeks before the start of the CCS girls team
tournament last fall, CCS announced a
change to the format. Gone was the four sin-
gles-three doubles matches formula in which
a teams best singles player played the oppo-
nents best.
There was concern among some coaches
that other schools were cheating the system
by essentially sandbagging their better play-
ers.
The problem is, coaches
could cheat just as easily
under the new format as the
previous one.
In the new system, the top
three singles players from
each team play all three of top singles play-
ers from the opposition. Each player plays a
set each against three different opponents
and each score counts as a match. The same
is done with the doubles. That puts a total of
18 points available.
The girls tournament was plagued by con-
fusion and, on some occasions, darkness, as
matches went from two hours to three-plus
hours.
This will probably be the nal time CCS
uses this system because many coaches are
believed to absolutely hate the new format.
Stogner said not one league in CCS changed
the format for their regular season or tourna-
ment schedule. Every league in CCS used
the traditional four-three setup.

its third straight.
When the Red Sox left town after their initial homestand of
the season, they were on a ve-game losing streak and had
just blown a 9-0 lead in a loss to the rival Yankees.
Boy, how things changed.
Boston charged through Minnesota and Chicago, only los-
ing the nale of a four-game series against the White Sox and
returned to Fenway looking like a team that was expected to
be strong in the AL East.
On Monday, they knocked around As starter Tommy
Milone (3-2) for eight runs seven earned in 4 2/3
innings en route to an 11-1 lead after ve innings.
Then, the Red Sox almost reverted back to that ugly loss
against the Yankees before Vicente Padilla escaped a bases-
loaded jam by striking out Daric Barton in the seventh.
Reddick bounced into an inning-ending double play with the
bases-loaded in the eighth.
Buchholz (3-1) gave up six runs on seven hits, walking ve
and striking out ve in 6 2/3 innings.
Oakland cut it to 11-6 in the seventh, with Coco Crisp get-
ting a two-run single before Reddick hit his homer.
Milone, who had a pair of eight-inning scoreless outings in
his rst four starts, had given up only six total runs in his pre-
vious starts.
Trailing 1-0, the Red Sox scored four in the second. Ortiz,
in his 15th season, led off with a homer into the As bullpen,
Byrd and Aviles had RBI singles, with Aviles later scoring on
second baseman Jemile Weeks throwing error.
McDonald homered off a light-tower in left-center to make
it 6-1 in the third.
The Red Sox then chased Milone during a ve-run fth.
Ortiz homered into the Red Sox bullpen to make it 7-1, a drive
that right elder Reddick made a leaping attempt on, and had
the ball tip off his glove before he fell into the pen. A mem-
ber of the Red Sox picked up his hat and handed it to him
before he hopped back onto the eld.
Byrd had an RBI double against reliever Jordan Norberto
and Aviles hit his three-run homer into the Green Monster
seats to make it 11-1.
AS
Athletics sign 3B Inge
BOSTON Third baseman Brandon
Inge has agreed to terms on a contract
with the Oakland Athletics.
Once they put him on the 40-man ros-
ter, the As must pay Inge only a prorat-
ed portion of the $480,000 minimum
or about $412,000 of the $5,308,743
he was owed when released by Detroit
on Thursday.
Inge hit .100 (2 for 20) with one
homer and two RBIs in nine games this
season. He turns 35 on May 19 and joins
his rst new team in his 12th major
league season.
Its a good feeling, but at the same
time its different, Inge said. Just
spending that long in one organization,
its part of my home. But the business
side of it is: sometimes youve got to
realize when the end is. This is a better
t for me right now, and Im happy to be
here. I was a fan of this team when I was
a kid, too. I remember watching Rickey
Henderson.
Inge was glad his time out of the game
was short.
It was good. It was three days to get
my head straight, to relax a little bit,
work out and get ready to come here he
said. It was perfect timing.
Hell try to ll a void at third, where
the As lost projected starter Scott
Sizemore to a season-ending knee injury
in the rst full-squad workout Feb. 27.
Oakland manager Bob Melvin likes
his versatility.
Weve had some difculty at times
this year, Melvin said Were glad to
have him.
Melvin remembers Inge from his days
working with Detroit.
Hes a guy I knew coming up as a
bench coach, Melvin said. He could
probably play everywhere except pitcher
and Im sure hed try that if we want-
ed him to. Hes a great athlete.
Inge was in the starting lineup, play-
ing third and batting ninth for Mondays
game against the Red Sox.
Oakland designated infielder Luke
Hughes for assignment Monday to clear
roster room.
City wins Manchester derby
MANCHESTER, England The
Manchester derby went to City. Next, it
hopes, is the Premier League crown.
Manchester City nished a sweep of
its local rivals Monday when Vincent
Kompanys powerful header lifted it past
Manchester United 1-0 to take the
Premier League lead with two games
remaining.
In what had been billed as the biggest
Manchester derby ever, Kompany con-
nected off David Silvas corner kick for
the only goal in rst-half stoppage time
at the Etihad Stadium. City then held on
for a potentially title-deciding victory; it
leads United on goal difference and once
again has matters in its own hands, hav-
ing erased an eight-point decit in three
weeks.
Absolutely buzzing. ... Weve been
waiting for this moment, Kompany
said. Its far from over, and we know
that, but just to give our fans two wins
over Manchester United this season
we have to nish it off.
City still has a difcult job remaining
as it next visits fth-place Newcastle
United, then hosts relegation-threatened
Queens Park Rangers in the remaining
games.
United nishes against Swansea at
home and Sunderland away.
Its great to win tonight, but
Newcastle is now our focus, City goal-
keeper Joe Hart said.
City has an 8-goal differential over
United.
I think that we deserved to win this
game, we scored, we played well and we
had other chances to score in the second
half, city manager Roberto Mancini
said.
As the crosstown rivals have been
locked in a two-way ght for the title for
most of the season, this game had been
hyped even more than others in the 131-
year history of matches. The entertain-
ment level was not nearly as high as the
stakes.
The game featured few clear scoring
chances for either side, and the tension
on the pitch spilled over to the sideline
in the second half. United manager Alex
Ferguson and City counterpart Mancini
got into a heated exchange after a tough
challenge by Nigel de Jong on Danny
Welbeck.
With both managers making hand ges-
tures to suggest the other should stop
talking, Ferguson eventually had to be
dragged back to his own technical area.

Wade leads Heat over Knicks, Pacers even up
MIAMI Dwyane Wade scored
25 points, Chris Bosh added 21 and
Miami beat New York 104-94 on
Monday night, sending the Knicks
to an NBA-record-tying 12th
straight postseason loss.
Making matters worse for the
Knicks: center Amare Stoudemire
cut his left hand in a postgame inci-
dent. The Knicks did not immedi-
ately release any details on how it
happened, and coach Mike
Woodson who saw the cut
declined to offer
specics.
LeBron James

points, nine
assists and seven
rebounds for the
Heat, who lead
the Eastern
C o n f e r e n c e

series 2-0.
Carmelo Anthony scored 30
points on 12-for-26 shooting for
New York, which got 18 points from
Stoudemire and 13 apiece from
Tyson Chandler and J.R. Smith. The
only other team to lose 12 straight
playoff games is the Memphis
Grizzlies, who dropped their rst
dozen postseason contests from
2004 through 2006.
New Yorks last postseason win
came April 29, 2001. The Knicks
get another chance to snap the
drought Thursday when they host
Game 3.
PACERS 93, MAGIC 78
INDIANAPOLIS David West
had 18 points and 11 rebounds to
help Indiana even the Eastern
Conference rst-round series at one
game apiece.
Danny Granger and George Hill
each added 18 points and Paul
George had 17 points and eight
rebounds for Indiana.
Glen Davis led the Magic with 18
points and 10 rebounds, but he shot
5 for 16 from the eld. J.J. Redick
scored 13 points and Jameer Nelson
added 12 for Orlando.
The Pacers were heavy favorites
in the series because Dwight
Howard, Orlandos All-Star center,
is out with a back injury. Indiana
lost Game 1 81-77 on Saturday, and
the frustrated Pacers fought hard to
avoid taking a two-game decit to
Orlando on Wednesday.
Indiana outrebounded Orlando
26-13 in the second half and held
the Magic to 36 percent shooting
overall. Indiana has held the Magic
below 40 percent shooting in both
games.

LOS ANGELES New research sends a
stark warning to overweight teens: If you
develop diabetes, youll have a very tough
time keeping it under control.
A major study, released Sunday, tested sev-
eral ways to manage blood sugar in teens
newly diagnosed with diabetes and found that
nearly half of them failed within a few years
and 1 in 5 suffered serious complications. The
results spell trouble for a nation facing rising
rates of diabesity Type 2 diabetes
brought on by obesity.
The federally fuded study is the largest look
yet at how to treat diabetes in teens. Earlier
studies mostly have been in adults, and most
diabetes drugs arent even approved for
youths. The message is clear: Prevention is
everything.
Dont get diabetes in the rst place, said
Dr. Phil Zeitler of the University of Colorado
Denver, one of the study leaders.
A third of American children and teens are
overweight or obese. They are at higher risk of
developing Type 2 diabetes, in which the body
cant make enough insulin or use what it does
make to process sugar from food. Until the
obesity epidemic, doctors rarely saw children
Study says heavy teens have
trouble managing diabetes
By Chris Tomlinson
AUSTIN, Texas A federal judge on
Monday stopped Texas from preventing
Planned Parenthood from getting funds
through the states Womens Health Program
a decision the state immediately appealed.
U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel in Austin
ruled there is sufcient evidence that a law
banning Planned Parenthood from the pro-
gram is unconstitutional. He imposed an
injunction against enforcing it until he can
hear full arguments. Texas Attorney General
Greg Abbott appealed Yeakels decision to the
5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, asking that
it remove the injunction.
The law passed last year by the Republican-
controlled Legislature forbids state agencies
from providing funds to an organization afli-
ated with abortion providers. Texas law
already required that groups receiving federal
or state funding be legally and nancially sep-
arate from clinics that perform abortions.
Eight Planned Parenthood clinics that do not
provide abortions sued over the new law. The
clinics say it unconstitutionally restricts their
freedom of speech and association to qualify
to take part in state health programs.
The judge accepted Planned Parenthoods
argument that banning the organization from
the program would leave women without
access to clinics for basic health services and
check-ups.
The court is particularly inuenced by the
potential for immediate loss of access to nec-
essary medical services by several thousand
Texas women, Yeakel wrote in his ruling.
The record before the court at this juncture
reects uncertainty as to the continued viabil-
ity of the Texas Womens Health Program.
Texas ofcials have said that if the state is
forced to include Planned Parenthood, they
will likely shut down the program that serves
basic health care and contraception to 130,000
poor women. Yeakel acknowledged that was a
risk.
The court observes that if the federal funds
are phased out, Texas does not provide anoth-
er source of funds, and the Womens Health
Program terminates, the controversy now
before the court may be of no consequence,
he wrote.
The Womens Health Program was estab-
lished to provide care for poor women who
would not otherwise qualify for Medicaid. It
supplies cancer screenings, annual exams, and
access to birth control.
Xelena Gonzalez of San Antonio said she
received abnormal test results and needed a
follow-up appointment just before the state
law took effect in March, and her area Planned
Parenthood clinic lost funding. She said she
couldnt afford the lab fees and other costs of
going to another provider. She said she is
thrilled she can return to Planned Parenthood
to follow up.
Its a tremendous relief that someone is
looking out for women, Gonzalez said
Monday, referring to the judges decision. It
makes me upset that these are men, for the
most part, who are making decisions affecting
our reproductive health and that they would
try to shame us.

with Type 2 diabetes. The more common
kind of diabetes in children is Type 1,
which used to be called juvenile dia-
betes.
Doctors usually start Type 2 treatment
with metformin, a pill to lower blood
sugar. If it still cant be controlled, other
drugs and daily insulin shots may be
needed. The longer blood sugar runs
rampant, the greater the risk of suffering
vision loss, nerve damage, kidney fail-
ure, limb amputation even heart
attacks and strokes.
The goal of the study was simple:
Whats the best way for teens to keep
diabetes in check?
The study involved 699 overweight
and obese teens recently diagnosed with
diabetes. All had their blood sugar nor-
malized with metformin, then were
given one of three treatments to try to
maintain that control: metformin alone,
metformin plus diet and exercise coun-
seling, or metformin plus a second drug,
Avandia.
After nearly four years, half in the
metformin group failed to maintain
blood sugar control. The odds were a lit-
tle better for the group that took two
drugs but not much different for those in
the lifestyle group.
Even so, Zeitler said doctors would
not recommend this combination drug
therapy because Avandia has been linked
to higher risk of heart attacks in adults.
Those risks became known after this
study had started.
Another study leader from Childrens
Hospital Los Angeles, Dr. Mitchell
Geffner, agreed that Avandia cant be
recommended for teens, but said the
study makes clear they will need more
than metformin to control their disease.
A single pill or single approach is not
going to get the job done, he said.
Among all the teens in the study, 1 in
5 had a serious complication such as
very high blood sugar, usually landing
them in the hospital.
The results were published online
Sunday by the New England Journal of
Medicine and presented at a pediatric
meeting in Boston. The National
Institutes of Health funded the study and
drug companies donated the medica-
tions.
The discouraging results point to the
need to create a healthier `eat less,
move more culture to help avoid obe-
sity that contributes to diabetes, Dr.
David Allen of the University of
Wisconsin School of Medicine and
Public Health wrote in an accompanying
editorial.
Judith Garcia still struggles to manage
her diabetes with metformin and insulin
years after taking part in the study at
Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. She
has to remember to watch her diet and
set aside time to exercise.
Trust me, Im working on it, said the
19-year-old who lives in Commerce,
Calif.
Kelsi Amer, a 14-year-old high school
freshman from Patriot, Ind., knows how
tough it is to keep her blood sugar from
skyrocketing. Diagnosed at age 12, she
takes metformin and gives herself
insulin shots before school and at bed-
time.
There are times when she has to miss
class because she has to prick her nger
to check her blood sugar or go with her
mother to Cincinnati Childrens Hospital
Medical Center for check-ups.
I try real hard and all of a sudden, Im
back to high blood sugar levels, said
Kelsi, who was not part of the research.

serves his hometown. Haag, 58, is happy
to have been the exception. Hes not sure
whats ahead for him but plans to rest
during the summer then gure out a
plan. Haag has every intention of nding
something to ll that time.
While he spent most of his career
moving up the ranks in Millbrae, becom-
ing chief in 2000, it might be his work in
San Bruno for which he will be most
remembered. Haag was the chief during
the Sept. 9, 2010 fatal natural gas
pipeline explosion and re. Mayor Jim
Ruane recalled Haag as cool, calm and
collected during and after that day.
Hes rst class, said Ruane.
San Bruno and Millbrae mayors
agreed Haags departure is a chance to
continue looking at opportunities to
share services. Neither city was sure
exactly how that would look after this
month. Millbrae and San Bruno have
been part of conversations to explore
further shared administrative services
with Central County Fire, which servic-
es Burlingame and Hillsborough and is
led by Fire Chief Don Dornell.
Last summer, all four cities gave the
go-ahead to continue exploring shared
administrative services. One of the rst
steps was creating a temporary station,
which is expected to open this summer.
Under the proposal, stations on Hillside
Drive in Burlingame and Crestview
Drive in Millbrae would be closed. A
new station would then be placed some-
where within the three-mile distance
between the two stations. The temporary
station would run for about a year which
would allow staff to collect data to be
shared with the city councils in May
2013, at which point further consolida-
tion could be considered.

Number of U.S. newborns
with drug withdrawal triples
By Lindsey Tanner
CHICAGO Less than a month old, Savannah Dannelley
scrunches her tiny face into a scowl as a nurse gently squirts a
dose of methadone into her mouth.
The infant is going through drug withdrawal and is being
treated with the same narcotic prescribed for her mother to
ght addiction to powerful prescription painkillers.
Disturbing new research says the number of U.S. babies
born with signs of opiate drug withdrawal has tripled in a
decade because of a surge in pregnant womens use of legal
and illegal narcotics, including Vicodin, OxyContin and
heroin, researchers say. It is the first national study of the
problem.
The number of newborns with withdrawal symptoms
increased from a little more than 1 per 1,000 babies sent home
from the hospital in 2000 to more than 3 per 1,000 in 2009, the
study found. More than 13,000 U.S. infants were affected in
2009, the researchers estimated.
The newborns include babies like Savannah, whose mother
stopped abusing painkillers and switched to prescription
methadone early in pregnancy, and those whose mothers are
still abusing legal or illegal drugs.

upon that sort of slapstick comedy with
a little something extra has made direct-
ing The Producers, which opens at the
Hillbarn Theatre in Foster City Friday,
an extra special treat.
Starrs love affair with the stage start-
ed at 13. His parents took him to see
The Pajama Game, and Starr had
found his calling. He began taking voice,
acting and dance lessons. After graduat-
ing from Menlo-Atherton High School,
Starr joined a company that was putting
on The Music Man. The traveling pro-
duction resulted in Starr moving to New
York City. It was a perfect time for Starr
who then found himself appearing in
more than 15 original Broadway shows.
As a dancer, Starr easily went from
dancing to choreography then chal-
lenged himself to direct.
His success landed him a job directing
and choreographing shows for Fortune
500 companies all over the world. It
brought Starr and his family which
today includes two grown children who
are both married and have each given
him a grandchild back to California.
It also allowed Starr and his family to
travel extensively, however, it was a busy
schedule.
Directing has been a love for Starr
who, over the years, has looked for new
ways to continue to pursue the passion.
This is his fth show with Hillbarn.
This is like a Christmas gift, he said
of the show.
Brooks adapted the film The
Producers into a Tony Award-winning
musical in 2001. It was again made into
a movie in 2005, starting Nathan Lane
and Matthew Broderick.
The show follows the antics of a ques-
tionable Broadway producer and an
accountant who team up to make the
worst show in Broadway history.
Unfortunately for them, Springtime for
Hitler becomes a hit which ruined plans
for nancial success. Starr is directing
the local adaptation which doesnt have
many changes. With such a wonderful
story to work with, Starr said he simply
lets his amazing cast bring their own
are to the piece.
I cannot wait to hear the audience
take it all in, said Starr as opening day
inches closer.
Getting to opening night is actually
Starrs favorite part. He enjoys the free-
dom actors have while building a show,
the creativity that takes place and the
numerous meetings. Now the cast is
working on dress rehearsals. Theres an
impressive five costume changes for
each of the 32 cast members throughout
the performance, Starr pointed out a
large number for the small cast.
With all this chaos, Starr said those
who attend should expect one thing: To
laugh for two hours.
The Producers runs May 4 through
May 27 at Hillbarn Theatre, 1285 E.
Hillsdale Blvd. in Foster City.
Performances are 8 p.m. Thursday
through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.
Opening night, Friday, May 4, features a
gala reception after the show. Tickets
may be purchased by visiting
www.HillbarnTheatre.org or calling
349-6411. Hillbarn Theatre is located at
1285 E. Hillsdale Blvd. in Foster City.

tract since July 2011 in a dispute over
health care coverage, the
Inlandboatmens Union said.
A coalition of bridge and bus workers
said they will honor the picket line,
which may target an area near the
bridges toll plaza. Occupy activists
from San Francisco and Oakland are
expected to join the rally.
We ask supporters to stand with us at
strike picket lines on May Day and to
keep the bridge open, said Alex
Tonisson, an organizer and co-chair of
the Golden Gate Bridge Labor Coalition.
In anticipation of the strike, the
agency that operates the Golden Gate
Bridge and related public transportation
systems canceled Tuesdays morning
ferries from Marin County to San
Francisco and urged regular riders to
make alternate travel plans.
Police say they are working with other
area law enforcement agencies and have
a plan in place for potential disruptions.
They would not discuss specics.
Across the Bay in Oakland, where
police and Occupy protesters have often
clashed, ofcers are preparing for a long
day as hundreds of General Strike
signs have sprouted across town.
In New York City, where the rst
Occupy camp was set up and where
large protests brought some of the earli-
est attention and mass arrests to
the movement, leaders plan a variety of
events, including picketing, a march
through Manhattan and other creative
disruptions against the corporations who
rule our city.
Organizers have called for protesters
to block one or more bridges or tunnels
connecting Manhattan, the citys eco-
nomic engine, to New Jersey and other
parts of the city.
The Occupy movement began in
September with a small camp in a lower
Manhattan plaza that quickly grew to
include hundreds of protesters using the
tent city as their home base. More than
700 people were arrested Oct. 1 as they
tried to cross the Brooklyn Bridge.
The city broke the camp up in
November, citing sanitary and other con-
cerns, but the movement has held small-
er events and protests periodically since
then.
Elsewhere on the West Coast, Occupy
Seattle has called for people to rally at a
park near downtown Tuesday. Mayor
Mike McGinn has warned residents
there could be trafc delays and has said
city ofcials have evidence including
grafti and posters that some groups
plan to commit violence, damage prop-
erty and disrupt peaceful free speech
activity.
In Los Angeles, Occupy is organizing
a daylong peoples power and bike car-
avan that will start from the four cardi-
nal directions around the city in the
morning, converging on downtown
L.A.s nancial district in the mid after-
noon for an approximately 90-minute
protest. The themes of the marches are
foreclosures and police brutality.
In a website statement, Occupy L.A.
promised the event will be city-paralyz-
ing and carnivalesque with en route
actions including a food giveaway in a
South Los Angeles park, and mini-rallies
outside the VeteransAffairs and Bank of
America buildings in West Los Angeles.
MAY DAY
As of Monday afternoon, though, nei-
ther had happened.
The strike will echo the last walkout in
December and another last September.
At both, and expected for tomorrow, the
nurses argued against sweeping cuts to
sick days, union representation, patient
advocacy and health care coverage. The
California Nurses Association said the
strikes were spurred by nearly 200
demands for major contract concessions
made by the hospital giant despite
amassing over $3.7 billion in prots
since 2005. CNA said the concessions
include paying thousands of dollars
more annually in out-of-pocket medical
expenses and restrictions on doctor
choices, reduced benets for employees
working less than 30 hours a week,
reduced maternity leave and disciplining
nurses who dont meet arbitrary patient
satisfaction goals based on budget pri-
orities.
Specific to Mills-Peninsula, the nurs-
es will protest plans to close special-
ized pediatric care, acute rehabilita-
tion, dialysis and skilled nursing care
services.
The walkout is estimated to include
approximately 4,500 nurses statewide.
During the strike, Mills-Peninsula will
be open for business and provide all
services using a full replacement staff,
said Margie OClair, vice president of
marketing and public affairs for Sutter
Healths Peninsula coastal region.
The replacements have a ve-day min-
imum contract and will be on site
through May 6.

the parking lot at about the same time of
the noise disturbance.
Shortly after, police spotted a green
Dodge Caravan with four occupants in
the area and, after stopping the vehicle,
the four wheels from the Acura were
found inside.
The minivan also turned out to be
stolen from a residence on the 500 block
of Cambridge Street in Belmont, accord-
ing to police.
Police arrested San Jose residents
Pablo Valles and Francisco Chavez, both
18, and two other 17-year-old juveniles,
also from San Jose, for auto theft and
possession of stolen property.
The noise the caller complained about
was related to when the Acura fell off
some jacks and crashed onto the con-
crete in the parking lot, Belmont police
Lt. Pat Halleran said.
Police found the car sitting on its
frame, he said.
The four men had allegedly stolen the
Acura in San Jose, drove it to Belmont
and then stole the minivan the same
night, according to police.
After investigating more, police also
recovered two other stolen vehicles
linked to the group.
A Honda Civic stolen from the 500
block of Crestview Avenue was recov-
ered and another Dodge Caravan stolen
from the 400 block of Marine View
Avenue was also recovered, according to
police.
We are trying to gure out what else
they may have been involved in,
Halleran told the Daily Journal.
Belmont police are working with San
Jose police to see if the suspects might
be linked to other auto thefts, Halleran
said.
Anyone with information on these
suspects or this series of crimes, is asked
to call Belmont Police at (650) 595-7400
or the Belmont Crime Tip Line at (650)
598-3000.

THEFT
TUESDAY, MAY 1, 2012
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)If you decide to get in-
volved in a new endeavor with several other people,
make sure you have a voice in the project, as well as
a leadership role. Reconsider if you dont.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)There is nothing wrong with
expressing your friendship or love for another with some
kind of tangible token. But unless youre extremely close,
dont make it anything expensivejust thoughtful.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)As you charm everyone
around you, including your adversaries, it will be-
come evident that communication comes quite easily
to you. Use this attribute liberally for best results.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)If you have something to
sell, its an excellent time to go after the big account
youve been eyeing but have been afraid to ap-
proach. If you assert yourself, your fears will diminish
of their own accord.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Your expansive mood is
likely to trigger some of your nobler qualities. With
little thought of gain, youre likely to do things that
will mean a lot for others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)When you show people
you really care, they, in turn, will automatically be as
concerned for your welfare as you are for theirs. Visible
demonstrations are likely to come from several sources.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)Make extra efforts to
show people how much you really care about their
welfare. It will help inspire a reluctant person to feel
special and offer you valuable help.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)More opportunities
than usual are likely to present themselves, making it
possible for you to achieve two ambitious objectives
that may or may not be connected.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You have the ability
to merge two dissenting voices into one positive, uni-
fed force. Without your intervention, the concerned
parties are likely to continue bickering between
themselves.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)Two quality changes
are stirring that could help you better yourself career-
wise and/or fnancially. They are apt to be triggered
by a couple of unrelated circumstances.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)Your judgment is much
keener than usual, enabling you to correctly evaluate
both sides of opposing issues. It will give you an
edge over your competition.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)The possibility for gains in
your material affairs are stronger than usual at this time,
so dont waste the opportunity. In fact, there are likely to
be two sources making some good things possible.
