GREEK, EUROPEAN WOE COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR U.S.

Racial discrimination was not happening in
Millbrae, a jury found after deliberating for
seven days over a 2009 case led against the
city, its police department and former police
commander Marc Farber.
Sgt. Danny Singson, an Asian ofcer who
joined the Millbrae Police Department in
1998, alleged Farber, a white male, has a his-
tory of hostile behavior toward minority
employees, according to the suit eld Oct. 21,
2009 in the Northern California U.S. District
Court. The city of Millbrae was also named in
the suit since both the past and current police
chief knew or should have known about the
harassment and failed to take prompt, effec-
tive remedial action, the complaint reads.
But a jury returned Monday siding with the
city on all charges.
Of course Im disappointed, John
Houston Scott, a San Francisco-based attor-
ney representing Singson, said of the verdict.
The jury was out seven days. It was dead-
locked for many days. I guess those in favor
of Danny were just worn down.
Houston Scott said Singson are weighing
options in terms of what comes next.
Mayor Marge Colapietro said she was
happy for the city.
In my opinion it was the right decision.
Im grateful for our legal team who worked
very hard. Im proud of the case presented,

petition grows
San Bruno superintendent target
of online movement over leadership
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
An online petition calling for a change
in leadership in San Bruno and a vote of
no condence in Superintendent David
Hutt has generated more than 120 signa-
tures thus far.
Started by parent Rich Falasco on
change.org, the petition describes Hutt as
being repeatedly dishonest and calls for a
trustworthy, respectful and honorable superintendent. In an
email response, Hutt said his job requires him to look at dif-
cult options and, while the personal attacks are hurtful, this
will not distract him from the job at hand. The community
petition is also generating different responses from the board.
Board President Skip Henderson, for example, sticks by Hutt
describing him as the best leader the district has had in 30
years. Trustee Jennifer Blanco, on the other hand, is dis-
pleased with where the district is headed and would welcome

In 1968, the San Mateo City Council
voted to adopt an infantry regiment with
the 101st Airborne to help improve
morale among the ghting troops at war
in Vietnam.
With the adoption, San Mateo resi-
dents and city staff started sending mes-
sages of love and support from home in
care packages to members of Alpha
Company, 1-327 Infantry Regiment,
101st Airborne Division, known as the
Screaming Eagles.
The support came at a time when
troops in Vietnam had very little contact
with loved ones here in the United States
and opponents of the conict demon-
strated across the country. Students boy-
cotted class in solidarity with the anti-
war movement.
In 1972, in response to renewed esca-
lation of bombing in Vietnam, university
students around the country broke into
campus buildings and threatened strikes
in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New
York.

Mateo was the only city in the

Man makes amends for
stealing plants in 1958
NASHVILLE, Tenn. No matter how
much digging investigators did, the crime
remained open until a thief turned him-
self in and returned the fruits of his theft.
In this case, the crime was stealing two

Park in Nashville. And the thief, 72-year-
old Bill Teitleff of Joy, Ky., returned
plants from the root system of the pur-
loined owers to the park on Thursday.
Teitliff told WSMV-TV in Nashville he
took the owering plant because he didnt
have enough money at the time to buy a
Mothers Day gift for his mother. At the
time of the theft, Teitleff was 18 years old
and just married.
Eventually, the past caught up with
Teitleff and he didnt like how it felt.
Teitleff says he can now walk through
Centennial Park without feeling guilty.

Eduardo Lopez, who goes by Lalo, doesnt
command attention from stature or draw neg-
ative attention.
Instead, the about 17-year-old who stands 5
feet 5 inches is simply engaging. Friendly and
approachable, he introduced himself and
began speaking with ease about his life, the
desire to see his classmates succeed and the
pressures of being the rst in a rather large
family to attend college. After he graduates
from Eastside College Preparatory, Lopez
will start work on that challenge at Wesleyan
University in Middletown, Conn.
Lalo possesses a magical type of charm
that is hard to dene in words, Ryan Atkins,
who taught Lopez in multiple classes
throughout high school, wrote. Last year,
during our school-sponsored trip to visit col-
leges on the East Coast, Lalos charisma was
on full display. Time and time again, I wit-
nessed college reps and other speakers who
begin to address a group of 50 or more people
turn and direct almost all of their direction to
Lalo. I have taught a few students who are
engaging speakers, but I have never seen a
student who is as much of an engaging speak-
er as he is a magnetic, engaging listener. It is
hard to describe: Lalo has the amazing abili-
ty to make complete strangers feel at ease
through his gregarious, positive nature and
his wide-ranging interests in theater, politics
and sports.
Lopez, the oldest of three children, grew up
in East Palo Alto. His parents previously
immigrated from Mexico. Lopez noted their
hard work to support their children.
The best thing I can do to repay them is to
work hard, he said.
Full of energy from an early age, he began
playing soccer a sport hes always
enjoyed discussing with his mother.
He attended East Palo Alto Charter School
and, at the encouragement of a teacher,
checked out the program at Eastside. It was a
wonderful opportunity for Lopez whose par-
ents were supportive of his academic efforts
and welcomed a program that would further
his chances of attending college.
Transitioning to Eastsides rigorous pro-
gram was difcult at rst for Lopez, who
wasnt used to the workload. Once he settled
in, Lopez has found a home in the communi-
ty. Hes embraced challenges and failures and
found new activities like volleyball.
Drama was a place he excelled, even though
it was an activity he hadnt considered until a
teacher suggested it.
When drama wasnt offered at Eastside last
year, Lopez decided to audition for a profes-
sional show. He was cast. And although the
schedule was crazy school from 8 a.m. to
5 p.m., rehearsal from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., din-
ner then homework until 1 a.m. Lopez
enjoyed the experience.
For his senior year, Lopez moved into the
schools on-campus dorms to really focus on
his academics. Hes not far from his family,
but Lopez said the year has helped him and
his family prepare for being separated during
college. Also, Lopez has improved upon his
work habits. That will come in handy once
studying at Wesleyan University this fall.
Lopez isnt sure what he will focus on once at
the liberal arts schools. His interests are var-
ied, but he is looking forward to getting
involved in the schools theater community.

Teachers are asking for more transparency
in spending voter approved funds to support
the San Mateo-Foster City School District
a request the district said creates an opportu-
nity to have a more open relationship.
In 2010, voters approved a seven-year
renewal and $96 increase to a parcel tax bene-
ting the San Mateo-Foster City Elementary
School District. As a result of the increase, the
parcel tax, called Measure A, totals $180
annually. Last month, the districts Fiscal
Advisory Committee reviewed how the funds
were used in the 2010-11 school year. While
the report says the funds were used properly,
teachers disagree. Recommendations from the
committee call for more changes moving for-
ward like more transparency in the spending
and a more active role in the public as spend-
ing decisions are made. Both the district and
teachers have said the concerns create an
opportunity to be more communicative mov-
ing forward.
We really appreciate the opportunity to
make our relationship better, said Molly
Barton, assistant superintendent for student
services, about the concerns of the teachers.
Earlier this month, the board decided to
approve budget assumptions for the coming
year that call for a lower student to teacher
ratio of 24 to 1, down from 26 to 1. Another
assumption includes recognizing the FACs
recommendation to have a special fund for the
parcel tax money.
It is clear to me that Superintendent
[Cynthia] Simms and the trustees took to heart
the criticisms and concerns voiced by (San
Mateo Elementary Teachers Association). And
I think it is important to recognize that the
response to the recommendations contained in
the FAC report was remarkably swift, said
SMETA President Janet Chappell, who added
it was denitely good news.
That said, Chappell said that SMETA main-
tains its position that Measure A funds, as
directed by former superintendent Pendery
Clark, were not appropriately monitored and
class sizes were larger than they should have
been.
And because of that, we feel the committee
was wrong in issuing a report that gave an
unconditional OK to how the funds were allo-
cated, even though its recommendations clear-
ly demonstrated some serious procedural
problems. The dissenting opinions should
have been more clearly acknowledged,
Chappell said.
Teachers Michelle Ballinger and Christy
Rauch both served on the FAC and disagreed
with the nal page, signed by co-chairs Mark
Hudak and Todd Wade, of the report which
says that the district appropriately allocated
and spent funds only for specic purposes
approved by the districts voters.
Specically, Ballinger and Rauch noted the
money wasnt put in a separate account, as
outlined in the tax authorization, and only
three FAC meetings were held to discuss the
funds. Without being placed in a separate
account, accurately accounting for the funds
was difcult. The committee made recom-
mendations to change those points, sugges-
tions both women support.
In addition, the report notes $1.7 million was
used to maintain the 180-day school year
the cost of ve days. Teachers expressed con-
cerns since that implies the funds were used to
avoid furlough days. However, furlough days
were not negotiated, according to the teachers.
Barton noted she could not comment on nego-
tiations, but added how the money was spent
doesnt need to be negotiated.
Barton maintained the district did not main-
tain the funds. However, she does believe the
communication and inclusion of the teachers
in the process of using the funds can be
improved upon moving forward.
The board is in the process of working with
the 2012-13 budget assumptions. We are inter-
ested to see how the board and district staff
moves forward with the Measure A money.
The students in the San Mateo-Foster City
School District are counting on the appropri-
ate use of the money approved by the voters in
our community, Ballinger and Rauch wrote
in a joint email.

Cellphone penalties would rise under pending bill
SACRAMENTO The ne for illegally using a cellphone
while driving in California would increase from $20 to $30
under a bill approved by the state Senate on
Monday, although the actual cost would
climb to at least $199 for rst offenders once
court fees are collected.
Californias existing ban on drivers use of
hand-held devices would be more effective
with a higher penalty, said the bills author,
Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto. The money
would go for driver education programs.
With court and other fees, a rst offense
currently costs at least $159. Gov. Jerry
Brown last year vetoed Simitians bill to raise the base ne to
$50, saying penalties already included in Californias four-year-
old law should be enough to deter illegal cellphone use.
The ne for subsequent offenses would increase from $50 to
$60 under Simitians bill. The actual cost to drivers would rise
to $371 for each additional offense because it also would add a
point on a drivers record, triggering additional fees.
The bill also would ban bicyclists from texting or talking on
a hand-held phone, imposing a $20 ne.
Ooh, aah: Take in Yosemite views by computer
FRESNO Just in time for spring snowmelt: a webcam point-
ed at one of Yosemite National Parks main attractions, the soaring
2,425-foot Yosemite Falls.
The HD camera went live on North Americas tallest fall
Monday, allowing anyone with computer access to watch in stun-
ning detail as shadows race across the towering granite monolith
over which Yosemite Creek crashes in a series of plunges and cas-
cades. Its updated every 30 seconds through a high-speed DSL
connection.
To those for whom the parks breathtaking scenery revives the
soul, getting a x of spiritual uplift just got a little easier. For peo-
ple whove never been to Yosemite, perhaps seeing one of the
parks main attractions in real time will prove too enticing to resist.
In a lot of ways I equate it to all of the beautiful picture books
that weve had on our coffee tables, or the art from the 1870s that
made Yosemite exciting to people around the world when they saw
it for the rst time, said Michael Tollefson, president of the non-
prot Yosemite Conservancy, which placed the camera there.
This is a great way to communicate in todays media what the
park is and to get people excited immediately, for better or worse.
Bill would mandate quick reporting of stolen guns
SACRAMENTO Gun owners would have to report stolen or
missing rearms to authorities within 48 hours of discovering
them missing under a bill approved by the state Senate.
The bill by Sen. Mark DeSaulnier, a Democrat from Concord,
is backed by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the
California Police Chiefs Association.
SB1366 passed Monday on a 23-14 vote and goes to the
Assembly.
Republican lawmakers say the bill is unrealistic for gun owners
who keep rearms in remote hunting cabins or blinds, or who are
preoccupied after being burglarized.
They also say the requirement might deter gun owners from
reporting thefts if they realize the 48-hour reporting deadline has
passed, especially because a third violation can bring a penalty of
up to six months in jail.
Bill would require auto shut-off in table saws
SACRAMENTO Lawmakers are hoping to reduce injuries
caused by table saws by requiring new saws sold in California to
be equipped with safety features that shut off the tools when they
come into contact with the skin.
The Assembly on Monday passed a bill that would require so-
called active injury mitigation technology on table saws starting
in 2015.
The measures sponsor, Santa Barbara Democrat Das Williams,
said manufacturers already know how to make the automatic shut-
off features but do not routinely offer them.
Assemblyman Bill Berryhill, a Republican from Ceres, encour-
aged his colleagues to support the bill. He joked that politicians
who ended up on the wrong end of an unsafe saw could be pre-
vented from giving a thumbs-up or victory sign.
AB2218 passed 54-2 and heads to the Senate.
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Utility ratepayers should not have to
pay for executive bonuses based on cor-
porate earnings or share price, according
to Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San
Mateo, who crafted legislation to stop
the practice.
Hill introduced new legislation yester-
day outside Pacic Gas & Electrics
annual shareholders meeting in San
Francisco.
A year ago, Peter Darbee, PG&Es
former chief executive ofcer, left the
company with a $39 million bonus even
as his company was under re for the
deadly pipeline blast in San Bruno that
left eight dead and about 40 homes com-
pletely destroyed.
Hills legislation would also require
top executives at PG&E to return ill-
gotten performance
bonuses retroactive-
ly.
Since Darbees
departure, PG&E has
been assessed nearly
$58 million in penal-
ties by the California
Public Utilities
Commission for
safety violations that
occurred during his tenure. The compa-
ny also faces at least $200 million more
in penalties for the 2010 San Bruno
pipeline explosion and re. Ratepayers
are picking up nearly a third of the bill
for Darbees retirement, according to
Hills ofce.
Penalties for corporate malfeasance
are also too low, according to Hills
ofce.
Currently, the penalty limit for execu-
tive violations is $20,000 but Hill wants
to raise the penalty limit to $1 million
per violation with the new legislation.
Hill also has legislation working its
way through the Legislature that would
require the California Public Utilities
Commission to assess the utilities gas
safety performance and allow it to levy
penalties for poor performance.
Another one of Hills bills, Assembly
Bill 578, would require the CPUC and
gas utility companies to implement
National Transportation Safety Board
Recommendations while a third, AB
1843, would require the CPUC to create
a whistleblower protection program to
encourage utility employees, former
employees, contractors and subcontrac-
tors to come forward with information
that protects public safety.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Californias
sputtering economic recovery is
putting a heavier-than-expected
drag on state tax revenue, leading
Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday to
propose deep budget cuts across an
array of government services and
warn again that even more cuts are
ahead if voters reject his tax-hike
initiative in November.
Browns latest budget plan for the
scal year that begins July 1 pro-
poses $8.3 billion in spending cuts
to close a revised decit of $15.7
billion decit, an amount equal to
17 percent of the states entire gen-
eral fund.
The plan would reduce child care
for mothers trying to get off wel-
fare, in-home supportive services
for the needy and health care for the
poor, as well as cut funding to
courts and postpone payments to
schools.
Those reductions come on top of
tens of billions of dollars in state
budget cuts implemented since the
recession started in late 2007.
Brown, a Democrat, also is asking
state workers to share the pain by
taking a 5 percent pay cut, most
likely by reducing their work hours.
The pay reduction would be han-
dled in contract negotiations with
the states public employee unions.
In addition to the cuts, Brown
hopes to close the decit with $5.9
billion in new revenue from the tax
initiative he proposed earlier this
year that would temporarily add a
quarter cent in the state sales tax
and collect higher income taxes on
those who make $250,000 a year or
more.
If voters reject the tax increases in
the fall, Brown is proposing $6 bil-
lion in additional automatic spend-
ing cuts, almost all of which would
fall on K-12 schools.
Cutting alone really doesnt do
it, Brown told reporters in releas-
ing his $91 billion general fund
budget plan. And thats why Im
linking the serious budget reduc-
tions real increase to austerity
with a plea to the voters: Please
increase taxes temporarily on the
most affluent and everyone else
with a quarter of a cent sales tax.
Another $2.5 billion would
involve delaying paying debt and
other internal borrowing.
Brown said his balanced approach
was a fair and reasonable way to
balance the budget. The sales tax
increase would last four years while
the income taxes on the wealthy
would be raised for seven.
The revised budget decit is $6.5
billion more than the $9.2 billion
gap Brown anticipated in January.
He blamed the widening shortfall
on court judgments that prevented
him from making cuts to programs
such as MediCal and In-Home
Supportive Services and on the
states sagging economy.
Unlike many other states,
California has yet to show signi-
cant progress in emerging from the
worst economic downturn since the
Great Depression.
Unemployment has crept back up
to 11 percent, among the highest
rates in the nation. The national
unemployment rate has dropped a
full percentage point since August
to 8.1 percent in April.
Also in California, home foreclo-
sures also remain among the highest
of any state. Home construction, a
key driver of the states economy,
continues to be depressed, while
home prices in many parts of the
state have not recovered.
Those factors have depressed
household spending and led to a
decline in most tax collections for
the state and local governments.
Democrats who control the
Legislature said they would cut as
much as they can while trying to
preserve what they deem essential
services.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said
Democrats are not looking for a
public ght with the governor.
Republicans said the majority
party has refused to enact reforms

STATE/NATION 8
By Paul Larson

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

WASHINGTON Reality TV is
giving birth to some of the most
popular baby names. No, not
Snooki. But Mason, as in Kourtney
Kardashians son, jumped 10 spots
to become the second most popular
name for newborn boys in 2011.
The more traditional Sophia is the
new top name for girls, while Jacob
is No. 1 for boys for the 13th straight
year, according to the list released
Monday by the Social Security
Administration.
Kardashian, the reality TV star,
gave birth to Mason in December
2009 following a heavily publicized
pregnancy. In 2010, Mason jumped
from No. 34 to No. 12. Last year,
19,396 baby boys were named
Mason, an increase of nearly 4,600,
by far the biggest jump for any name.
It shows what were paying
attention to, what were thinking
about, said Laura Wattenberg, cre-
ator of the website babynamewiz-
ard.com. Today, you cant walk
through a supermarket without
learning more than you
hoped to know about the
Kardashian family. Thats
just reality.
Rounding out the top ve
for boys: William, Jayden and
Noah. Michael came in sixth, the
lowest ranking since 1948.
Isabella, which had been
the top girls name for two
years, dropped to second
place in 2011. Emma,
Olivia and Ava rounded
out the top ve.
The Social Security
Administration pro-
vides lists of baby
names dating to
1880 on its web-
site. The top
t w o
names
t h a t
y e a r
were John and Mary. John is now
No. 27 and Mary has fallen to
No. 112 the lowest for
both names.
The list, which also
includes top baby names
by state, draws millions
of viewers. The agency
hopes that people go to
the website to see the
baby names and
stay to learn
about other serv-
ices, said
S o c i a l
S e c u r i t y
Commissioner
Michael J.
Astrue.
Top girl names
tend to be more
volatile
changing from
year to year
while
the top
boy names
are more stable, Astrue said.
William, for example, has been a
popular boys name for more than
100 years, never falling out of the
top 20. Mason is the exception,
entering the top 100 for the rst time
in 1997.
On the girls side, Sophia rst
cracked the top 100 in 1997. Isabella
dropped off the list altogether from
1949 to 1990.
Social Security also tracks which
names increase in popularity and
which ones drop.
The fastest rising name for girls:
Briella, which jumped 394 spots, to
No. 497. Briella Calaore stars in
Jerseylicious, a reality TV show
about battling stylists at a beauty
salon in Green Brook, N.J. Shes
also in a spinoff called Glam
Fairy.
Nicole Snooki Polizzi is the star
of another reality TV show about
New Jersey called Jersey Shore.
Snooki has never cracked the list of
top 1,000 names, but she is in the
midst of a well-publicized pregnan-
cy, so stay tuned.
Barack and Mitt have never made
the list, either. But Willard, which is
Mitt Romneys rst name, was on
the list as recently as 1989.
Brantley was the fastest rising
name for boys, jumping 416 spots to
No. 320. Brantley Gilbert is a singer
who had a No. 1 country hit called
Country Must Be Country Wide.
Americans get baby names from a
lot of places religion, relatives
and, yes, popular culture,
Wattenberg said. She likened baby
naming trends to a fossil record of
our culture.
Parents tend to shy away from
names that conjure up negative emo-
tions Adolf fell off the list for
good in 1929. But, Wattenberg said,
parents arent necessarily paying
homage to celebrities when they
give their children the same name.
In many cases, they are simply using
a name they might not have heard
otherwise.

PORTLAND, Ore. Motorists
across most of the country have been
getting a break on the price of gas,
but not on the West Coast.
The average price for a gallon of
regular gasoline in Oregon was $4.17
Monday, up 16 cents from last week.
The average was $4.20 in
Washington state and $4.35 in
California. Both of those states also
had double-digit increases.
Meanwhile, the national average
price dropped 5 cents to $3.73.
The West Coast is zigging while
the rest of the country is zagging,
said Tom Kloza, publisher and chief
oil analyst at the Oil Price
Information Service.
A shortage of gasoline tied to
issues at the regions reneries has
caused prices to spike in the whole-
sale market, analysts said.
Gasoline supplies in California are
down more than 20 percent from a
year ago. West Coast gasoline stocks
havent been this low in the month of
May since May 1992, according to
the Department of Energy.
Thats a long time, especially
when you consider how many vehi-
cles have been added to the eet,
Kloza said.
Gas prices increased sharply
across the U.S. in recent months
because of a run-up in the cost of
crude oil. But the price of a barrel has
slid to less than $95, providing a bit
of relief to drivers in most places.
The West Coast switches to a more
expensive fuel blend in summer to
ght pollution, but analysts blame
the current price spike on the failed
restart of a BP renery in Blaine,
Wash., and maintenance work at sev-
eral California reneries.

NEW YORK JPMorgan Chase
CEO Jamie Dimon owned up to
stock analysts and went on TV to
accept blame for a $2 billion trading
mistake. Next he faces shareholders,
who are considerably less wealthy
since the blunder was disclosed.
While Dimon may be greeted by
colorful protesters and tough ques-

shareholders are unlikely to call for
his head.
For them, facing the crisis without

Letters to the editor
San Mateos exclusive rich school
Editor,
Developers and the city of San Mateo orig-
inally touted San Mateos massive Bay
Meadows development as greatly benecial
to ordinary San Mateo residents.
This, despite millions in lost race track
taxes and fees, despite environmental impact
reports showing unmitigatable trafc
impacts to residents due to 1,200 new resi-
dential units, a million square feet of ofce
and retail space, and thousands of cars from
new residents, employees and shoppers com-
ing into or out of San Mateos transit orient-
ed development on a daily basis.
Now, on May 8, the Daily Journal reported
that the developer and San Mateo plan to
ignore the desperate public school needs of
Peninsula students by catering only to the
ultra-rich 1 percenters through construction
of a new Nueva School, an exclusive
Hillsborough private school (Private school
planned for Bay Meadows).
Most people cannot afford such a school.
Instead, the 99 percent send their children to
public schools, which keep enduring funding
cuts. And, because of overcrowding in San
Mateo-Foster City elementary schools, the
city of Foster City desperately seeks, but can-
not nd, a large site to build a new public
elementary school.
So, San Mateo politicians should only
allow a new Foster City-San Mateo public
school at Bay Meadows, instead of an exclu-
sive private school.
With 1,200 new residential units at Bay
Meadows, 600 approved new units at Station
Park Green in San Mateo, and an estimated
two children per unit, there are at least 3,600
new elementary school-age children coming
to K-8 public schools in San Mateo. Where
are San Mateos bright politicians planning
to put these 3,600 new public school stu-
dents?
Call San Mateos council and mayor at
522-7522 and the Foster City Council at 286-

The community is not divided
Editor,
There has been a lot of talk about how
divisive the Saltworks project has been. But
as Redwood City Neighbors United has dis-
covered, as residents learn what the real
impact of this development would be, the
community is not divided about the issue
we are unied in our opposition.
The divide is not among the residents of
Redwood City but between Redwood City
residents on one side and the developers
DMB and Cargill on the other.
And weve been talking across that divide
for three years now, trying to tell DMB and
Cargill with every way we know how
workshops, 900 pages of comments against
the development on the Notice of Preparation
of the EIR, letters, postcards and polls
that we are united in our opposition to the
Saltworks project, no matter how it is ulti-
mately congured.
Since we are clear about where the divide
is, we need to address how Saltworks has
distracted from what we as a city need to be
focused on our downtown, the Inner
Harbor area, Depot Circle, Stanford, etc.
And we need to be clear about the real
costs to Redwood City taxpayers of this now
withdrawn Saltworks project (or any new
Saltworks application). As Redwood City
Manager Robert Bell has said, It is impossi-
ble to put a gure on the money and man
hours spent on the project. It takes a lot of
staff resources. And he is not talking about
costs that are reimbursable.
Isnt it time we put Saltworks in the
rearview mirror and move on?

County jail contract
Editor,
Its disturbing to read articles on the sub-
ject of building news jails or prisons rather
than using available money toward some-
thing positive such as creating a place for
young children and teens for recreation
(County approves jail contracts in the May
9 edition of the Daily Journal).
Put money into schools, build temporary
low-income homes for families, etc. If those
in higher places would for once consider the
things which could prevent high crime rates,
and become a part of making a difference,
then there wouldnt be a need to build more
jails or prisons. Our children of the future
deserves so much more.

In advocacy of greater HSR safety
Editor,
Morris Brown faults Caltrain for agreeing
to a Memorandum of Understanding (Daily
Journal May 9: Caltrain MOU is a disaster)
with the High-Speed Rail Authority and eight
local governments to provide $1.5 billion for
electrication and positive train control.
Brown preferred the original agreement
that would have provided for two separate
high-speed rail tracks, making for a four-
track alignment and grade separations at the
numerous road intersections.
The MOU is based on a blended
approach that would retain todays two-
track conguration, helping to reduce the
price tag for the total project by $30 billion.
Yet I am sympathetic, as a daily Caltrain
rider, to Browns point. In fact, on April 14,
my train was delayed a full hour after it
swiped a motorist who hadnt cleared the
tracks at Ravenswood Avenue in Browns
Menlo Park.
I thank the HSRA for investing in com-
muter rail corridors in the Bay Area and the
South Coast, rather than sticking with their
original business plan and spending all their
funds in the Central Valley.
I hope Atherton, Menlo Park and Palo Alto
recognize the importance of improving
Caltrain and drop their law suits against
HSRA to ensure that electrication funds
ow as soon as possible. I support Browns
goal of separating Caltrains numerous grade
crossings. I would love to see the aforemen-
tioned cities help fund those projects rather
than attorneys fees so I need not worry
about the train hitting motorists who fail to
clear the tracks.

Browns amazing budget declaration
Editor,
This is in response to Gov. Jerry Browns
state nances statement published in the May
11 edition of the Daily Journal, what an
amazing revelation that the state nances
have been screwed up for a decade. What
he didnt say was how they got screwed up.
Anyone raising a family, balancing a
checkbook or running a business knows you
cant spend more than you take in in revenue.
The state has been doing this for more than
10 years. Where is the elimination of waste
and duplicate services commissions/depart-
ments (my May 8, 2011 letter mentioning
Gov. Schwarzeneggers review of two agen-
cies and 79 departments that could be con-
solidated and 117 of 339 boards and com-
missions that could be eliminated) and pen-
sion reform the governor promised?
Most of the current members of the state
Assembly and Senate have been in one or the
other ofce or both in the last 10 years and
are responsible for this mess. Remember this
when reelection time comes in November. I
for one am not voting for any tax increases
until those in Sacramento share the pain
that we the taxpayers are expected to bear.

Education crises
Editor,
Many recent letters to the editor have been
written about the sad state of education is
this state and the nation. The people writing
the letters include students, parents, teachers,
school administrators, school board mem-
bers, elected ofcials and disinterested par-
ties. The letters conrm that there is a crisis
in education.
Amazingly, they all agree on one thing.
They all claim the problem is not their
fault. Perhaps we should form a circular r-
ing squad and re away.

Hitting the
mother lode
I
f Sunday was the ofcial day to raise
mimosas to those lovely female crea-
tures who nurture and protect their
young, lets call today the time for acknowl-
edgment that not
every mother is a
bundle of kisses
and cookies, art-
work on the refrig-
erator and school
photos in the wal-
let. Some mothers
are different and
by different I mean
frightening at
worst, weird at
best and borderline
unt in the middle.
All of these
types can be found in a typical episode of
Toddlers & Tiaras or Dance Moms. What
sane mom really thinks putting her child in a
Pretty Woman ensemble is the best way to
showcase her childhood assets? But what
about those who dont quite warrant a cable
reality show?
First off, behold Tan Mom. Tanorexic New
Jersey mother Patricia Krentcil got into hot
water when her 6-year-old daughter told
school ofcials concerned about her sunburn
that she went tanning with mommy. Krentcil
claims the child simply stays in the salon
room with her during tanning sessions but
never actually climbs into the bed. Perhaps.
The real focus though is on Krentcils face.
Words cant do justice although baseball
mitt has been bandied about in some corners
as has comparisons to the overly-tanned char-
acter in the movie Something About Mary.
Krentcil, whose 44 years are indiscernible
under the layers of tan, may not be physically
browning her child but daily exposure to her
frightful complexion has to qualify as some
sort of abuse.
At least Krentcil, as far as we know, isnt
listening to fortune tellers for parenting
advice.
British mom Linda Clappison was convict-
ed of locking her children in their room with-
out light bulbs, toys and mattresses for six
years after a fortune teller suggested she do
so. Clappison also reportedly forced two of
the children to work as slaves for gypsies.
Yikes.
Over in Nebraska, a 35-year-old woman is
charged with pimping out her daughters, 14
and 7. Makes me glad for the parents who
have a better way of instilling a work ethic.
And makes me glad she is behind bars.
Speaking of working, a Long Island mother
of four was arrested for prostitution for
allegedly offering an undercover cop a little
extra something from her hot dog truck.
Catherine Scalia was previously arrested eight
years ago in a similar case using a hot dog
truck as a prostitution front. In the time since,
shes been advertising personal strip teases
and topless cleaning. The best news report is
one in which her 13-year-old son suggests his
mom might benet from some jail time to
learn her lesson. Even better, follow up
news reports quote Scalia as planning a sum-
mer lled with bikini tops and G-strings
while she markets her hot dogs.
Slightly better, a northeast Indiana couple
apparently strapped their four children to the
hood of the car in a liquor store parking lot
and drove for three blocks before being
stopped by authorities. Surprise, surprise
the dad was arrested for drunk driving. The
woman got away with questioning. Maybe
they gured if the car roof was good enough
for the Romney family dog, it is good enough
for their little munchkins.
Nobody ever said motherhood was easy;
sadly, nding stories of questionable parent-
ing is.

NEW YORK A political stalemate
in Greece rattled nancial markets world-
wide on Monday, driving U.S. stocks
lower.
The euro sank to a three-month low
against the dollar and borrowing costs for
Spain and Italy jumped as bond traders
anticipated that nancial stress could
spread far beyond Greece. Investors
dumped risky assets and plowed into the
safety of the Treasury market, pushing
yields to their lowest levels this year.
The Dow Jones industrial average
dropped 125.25 points to close at
12,695.35. The Dow has lost more than
half of its gains for the year in the past two
weeks as worries resurface about Europe
and the strength of the U.S. economy.
In Athens, talks between political par-
ties to form a government dragged into a
second week. The uncertainty has raised
concerns that Greece could miss a debt
payment and drop the euro currency. The
worry is that if Greece leaves the curren-
cy union, bond traders may demand
steeper borrowing rates from other trou-
bled countries and push them deeper into
debt.
The turmoil could easily spread to the
U.S. through the banking system. The
large banks are globally connected, said
Guy LeBas, chief xed income strategist
at Janney Montgomery Scott. The con-
crete fear is that if Greece exits the euro,
that would hurt European banks. Theyll
pull back lending to U.S. banks and then
theyd be in worse shape.
In other trading, the Standard & Poors
500 index dropped 15.04 points to
1,338.35. The Nasdaq composite sank
31.24 points to 2,902.58.
The losses swept across the market. All
10 of the industry groups within the S&P
500 fell.
JPMorgan Chases $2 billion trading
loss continued to hang over bank stocks.
JPMorgan dropped 3 percent following
news that the executive overseeing its
trading strategy would step down.
Morgan Stanley and Citigroup, two banks
with large trading operations, sank more
than 4 percent.
The loss to JPMorgan appears man-
ageable, said Matt Freund, a portfolio
manager at USAA Investments. But
people are looking at other banks and
wondering whos going to be next? What
else could be lurking?
Major markets in Europe plunged.
Frances CAC-40 and Germanys DAX
lost 2 percent. Benchmark indexes fell
nearly 3 percent in Italy and Spain.

Buying Facebook IPO shares
tough task for small investors
By Dave Carpenter
CHICAGO Hoping to get in on Facebooks hotly antici-
pated public stock offering? Youll need Facebook friends at
very high levels or a lot of money.
Most people who like the idea of owning Facebooks stock
will have difculty getting it at the offer price, currently
expected at $28 to $35 a share. Unless you know the right peo-
ple at Facebook, youll likely need to have a large, active
account with one of the big banks or brokerage rms directly
involved in the stock sale.
Otherwise, you can take your chances by buying shares after
the initial public offering is completed, when Facebook begins
trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol
FB. Thats likely to happen Friday.
Doing it that way typically means paying much more for the
stock, however. And heavy demand skews the early stock
price, leaving an investor vulnerable to the risk of a big drop.
Jerome Cleary isnt deterred. One of a legion of Facebook
fans, he has never wanted to own a stock as much as he wants
to buy this one. Cleary, a standup comedian in Los Angeles,
says he has already signed up for an account with a discount
online brokerage so hell be ready.
I know you should buy stock in what you know and like,
Cleary says. I feel that because they have an incredible mass
of wealth and such growing popularity, the stock really may
pay off.
Facebook Inc.s IPO is expected to be the largest ever for an
Internet company. Its expected to raise as much as $11.8 bil-
lion for Facebook and its early investors far more than the
$1.67 billion raised in Google Inc.s 2004 IPO.
Yahoo sends CEO packing
without severance package
SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo ended Scott Thompsons four-
month stint as its CEO without giving him a severance pack-
age, according to documents led Monday.
Thompson, 54, left Sunday in a management shake-up trig-
gered by inaccurate information in his ofcial biography. He
would have been entitled to a severance package if Yahoo had
terminated him without cause, according to the contract he
signed in January.
When Yahoo red Carol Bartz as CEO eight months ago, the
company paid her $3 million in severance. Bartz stands to
make even more money from the nearly 386,000 shares of
restricted stock and nearly 416,000 stock options that vested
upon her ouster.
Thompson kept a $1.5 million bonus and restricted stock
valued at $5.5 million that Yahoo paid him when he joined.
Those sums were intended to compensate him for benets he
gave up by leaving his job running PayPal, the online payment
service owned by eBay Inc.
Facebook and its shareholders are hoping to raise as much as $11.8 billion in an
initial public offering of stock. It would be the largest IPO ever for an Internet
company. Here are the top 10 so far, according to Renaissance Capital, an IPO
investment adviser:
Google Inc., IPO on Aug. 18, 2004, $1.67 billion raised.
YandexN.V., IPO on May 23, 2011, $1.3 billion raised.
Infonet Services Corp. (nowpart of BTGroupPLC), IPO on Dec. 15, 1999, $1.08
billion raised.
Shanda Games Ltd., IPO on Sept. 24, 2009, $1.04 billion raised.
Zynga Inc., IPO on Dec. 15, 2011, $1 billion raised.
Giant InteractiveGroup Inc., IPO on Oct. 31, 2007, $887 million raised.
RenrenInc., IPO on May 3, 2011, $743 million raised.
GrouponInc., IPO on Nov. 3, 2011, $700 million raised.
Orbitz Worldwide Inc., IPO on July 19, 2007, $510 million raised.
barnesandnoble.com(nowpart of Barnes & Noble Inc.), IPO on May 24, 1999,
$450 million raised.
Note: Public trading typically begins the day after the IPO. Amounts reect whats
raised both by companies and their early investors and do not include extra shares
known as overallotment, which are set aside to meet heavy demand.
If Facebooks underwriters sell the overallotment reserved, the IPO could raise as
much as $13.58 billion.

Beginning of

H
ard to believe that the reg-
ular season for the high
school sports season is

playoffs left to contest in the 2011-
12 school
year. Over
the next two
weeks, the

Central Coast Section play began
last week with boys tennis and golf,
track and swimming. Beginning
Wednesday, baseball and softball
join the fray with badminton follow-
ing soon after. After looking at the
baseball and softball pairings, I have
some thoughts on the upcoming
playoffs.
The Good
The Carlmont softball team was
the only San Mateo County team to
get any love or respect from CCS
its what a team gets going 22-3 and
playing a rugged schedule. The
Scots garnered the highest seed of
any county baseball or softball team
when they were seeded No. 1 in the
Division I tournament. They are the
only squad who received a rst-
round bye.
The Half Moon Bay and
Burlingame softball squads found
out that sometimes you have to be in
the right place at the right time.
While the Peninsula Athletic
Leagues Bay Division sends the top
three softball teams to CCS, Half
Moon Bay and Burlingame nished
in fth- and sixth-place, respective-
ly. Yet they both leapfrogged a
fourth-place Aragon team based on
their overall records and, in Half
Moon Bays case, the schools
enrollment.
One of the criteria of qualifying
for CCS is to have a .500 record or
better in either league play or over-
all record. Burlingame squeaked in
with a 13-13 overall record (4-8 in
the PAL), while Half Moon Bay n-
ished one game above .500 at 13-12
(5-7 in the PAL).
But because Half Moon Bay is
one of the smaller schools in the
section, the Cougars play in
Division III and they had more than

The Central Coast Section cham-
pionships in boys golf wraps up
today at the Rancho Canada course
in Carmel. And many local golfers
will take to the tees looking to earn
CCS titles.
In the Region 1 championships,
Sacred Heart Prep took a second
place team nish and theyll be well
represented on Tuesday. Bradley
and Kevin Knox led the way with
73s. Andrew Vetter wasnt far
behind with a 74. Kevin tees off in
the nals at 8:32 a.m. at tee No. 10.
Bradley res away at 8:48 a.m.
Travis Anderson comes out of
Region 1 as an individual qualier.
He represents Menlo-Atherton and
tees off at 8:08 a.m.
Isaiah Salinda of Serra is also an
individual qualier. Hell tee off at
the same time, but from the 10th tee.
Salinda is in the game group as is
Burlingames Jeff Carney, who shot
a 74 in the Region 2 championships.
Matt Tinyo and Max Culhane of
M-A also qualied as individuals,
shooting 75s in the Region 1 cham-
pionships.
Menlo-Atherton nished fth in
the Region 1 championships and
Serra nished behind them in sixth.
At the Region 2 championships,
Menlos Andrew Buchanan as one
of two golfers to shoot below 70. He
was the top individual nisher as
part of a Sacred Heart Prep team
that nished second overall behind
Palma High School.
Ethan Wong and Jackson Dean
shot 78s. James Huber, Will Petit
and Max Garnick went for 80, 81
and 89 respectively.
Buchanan finds himself in the
middle of the groups. The reigning
Daily Journal Golfer of the Year tees
off at 8:32 a.m.
Carlmont finished 10th in the
Region 2 championships, with
Mason Holman leading the way
with a 77. Ryan Tierney shot a 79
and Andrew Witt an 80.
Burlingame nished 10th overall.
Carney qualied for CCS with his
74. Next best for the Panthers was
Jacob Battat and his 83. Matt
Teahan shot an 85.

There are things that are com-
pletely synonymous with each
other.
The Menlo boys tennis team
and Central Coast Section team
championships are two of those
things.
The Menlo boys tennis team
topped off the regular season
with a Central Coast Section
championship its fourth con-
secutive after topping
Bellarmine College Prep in the
team tournament nal last week
at Courtside Club in Los Gatos.
They handled the pressure
incredibly, said Menlo coach
Bill Shine via school press
release. Bellarmine came out
with nothing to lose playing
really well and were loose. Our
guys responded in the rst round
and just kept getting better.
Their latest Central Coast
Section title is the 11th overall
for the Knights its the most
in section history.
The win also keeps Menlo per-
fect for 2012 at 25-0.
I am just so proud of them,
Shine said, noting the similarities
between CCS and the teams
National Invitational win.
Theyve become a such a big-
match team. The bigger the
match, the better they play. They
showed it in Newport and
showed it here again at CCS.
Having already won the CCS
nals, leading 11-1 after the sec-
ond round, the Knights opted to
forfeit their last round to avoid
injury before CCS individual
championships and the Northern
California championships.
Four Menlo Knights were
headed to a national tournament
and would have missed the CCS
award ceremony if the third
round would have been played.

Sagan wins Tour of
California Stage 2
APTOS Peter Sagan of
Slovakia won his second straight
stage with a powerful and unchal-
lenged sprint
and retained the
overall lead
Monday in stage
2 of the Amgen
Tour of
California.
The Liquigas-
C a n n o n d a l e
rider was timed
in the 117.1-
mile road race
from San Francisco in 5 hours and 2
minutes. He now leads the eight-day
event by 8 seconds over Heinrich
Haussler of Australia, a former Tour
de France stage winner who was
second for the second straight day, a
half-dozen bike lengths behind..
Today was very hard, the climbs
went very fast, said Sagan, the for-
mer mountain junior world titlist
who now also has ve career wins in
the seven-year-old race.
Sagan also crashed with about 4
1-2 miles left in the opening stage,
lost more than 20 seconds to the
eld but returned to the front with
teammates help.
Leigh Howard of the Orica-
GreenEDGE team was third in the
stage that took the starting eld of
128 along the California coastline.

Sagan was among 10 cyclists who crashed 73 miles into stage
2. All of the fallen riders returned to the eld.
Defending champion Chris Horner of Bend, Ore., nished
safely in the main eld for the second straight day.
I knew the last corner was close to the nish so I decided to
take the turn from the rst position, said Sagan. And I won the
stage. Im now thinking about winning another, and maybe
when we start the harder climbs we will work for (RadioShack-
Nissan-Trek teammate) Vincenzo Nibali.
The eight-day event continues Tuesday with 115.3-mile stage
3 road race from San Jose to Livermore. The route will include
the races rst substantial climb, an ascent of Mt. Diablo about
halfway through the stage.

ANDREW SCHEINER/DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Amgen Tour of California made its local stop this morning,
beginning in San Francisco and ending in Santa Cruz.
Peter Sagan won his second straight stage of the tour.
Making its way down the Devils Slide,north of Half Moon Bay,
the peloton, the stage turned inward and up Bonny Doon,
which, in previous editions of the race, has determined the
winner of the stage.
Irving set to be named NBAs top rookie
CLEVELAND There was never
any doubt Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving
would be named the NBAs Rookie of
the Year. The only suspense was when
and by how much.
Irving, as has been expected for
months, will be presented with the
award on Tuesday, capping a season
which he began as the No. 1 overall pick
and ended it as the clear-cut top rookie.
The Cavs sent out a release Monday
saying they will make a major
announcement along with the league
on Tuesday morning at Cleveland Clinic
Courts, the teams training facility in
Independence. The team did not specify
what will be announced, but The
Associated Press was one of several
media outlets to report on Sunday that
Irving will win the award.
The 20-year-old averaged 18.5 points
to lead all rookies and the Cavs in
scoring. He also averaged 5.4 assists,
nished rst among rookies in eld-goal
percentage and dominated several
games in the fourth quarter, rallying
Cleveland to wins.
Irving has a chance to become the
fourth unanimous winner in voting by a
nationwide media panel. Los Angeles
Clippers forward Blake Grifn (2011),
San Antonio center David Robinson
(1990) and Houston center Ralph
Sampson (1984) are the only players to
receive every rst-place vote. Chris Paul
missed by one vote in 2006.
Irving is the second Cleveland player
to win the award, joining LeBron James
in 2004. Irvings arrival has helped the
Cavaliers continue to rebuild following
James departure as a free agent two
years ago.
After the Cavs nished 21-45 in a
lockout-shortened season, the 6-foot-3
Irving promised to raise his game in the
years ahead.
There is no limit for me, Irving said.
The only way I can go is up. Thats the
only way I want to go. This season was
a learning experience. I learned what to
do and what not to do. Going forward, I
want to apply it next season and take it
to another level.
The Cavaliers should be able to add
some pieces to surround Irving in next
months draft. Cleveland has three of the
top 34 picks and has a chance to win the
draft lottery. Last year, the pingpong
balls bounced in the Cavs favor, allow-
ing them to draft Irving, who played just
11 games in college at Duke because of
a toe injury.
Irving, who cracked the starting line-
up for the opener, made dazzling plays
and clutch shots all season. His only set-
back was a shoulder injury that sidelined
him for 10 games.
U.S. basketball roster deadline now July 7
USA Basketball chairman Jerry
Colangelo considers about 10 mens
Olympic team spots set on paper, with
the rest to be determined over two days
of practice before the squad is
announced July 7.
The Americans requested and were
granted an extension to the deadline to
select the roster by the U.S. Olympic
Committee after four candidates were
knocked out by injuries. The team was
originally to be picked by June 18 before
the end of the NBA season.
Instead, the Americans will hold their
rst practice July 6 in Las Vegas with a
to-be-determined number of players.
Theyll gather their nal 12 at a team
meeting the next night. There are 18
healthy players in the roster pool.
What we think is that barring any
other further major injury, we have a
pretty good handle on what we think the
roster might look like, and it may get
down to a final selection or two,
Colangelo said Monday by phone from
Dallas, where he announced the revised
plans during a news conference at the
U.S. Olympic Committee media summit.
That could give college player of the
year Anthony Davis of Kentucky a
chance to prove he belongs with the
NBAs best headed to London, or per-
haps Philadelphias Andre Iguodala to
show theres room for a defensive spe-
cialist amid a group of superstar scorers.

second-highest seed of county teams.
At least the Serra baseball team has only a
remote chance of facing off against
Bellarmine for a fth time this season. The
two have hooked up for two regular-season
games, once in the Knights of Columbus tour-
nament and again in the WCAL tournament
opener. Because of the seedings, the only way
the two can meet in CCS is if each makes the
championship game.
But as they say, never say never.
Looks like Sequoia softball coach Scott
Reynick nally put together a schedule that
agrees with the CCS power-points gods as the
Cherokees received their highest seeding in
the Reynick era, No. 10 in Division I.
Under Reynick, the Cherokees have been in
the mix for the PALs Ocean Division title and
the divisions lone automatic CCS bid.
Usually, however, the Cherokees are seeded in
the 13 to 15 area and are invariably matched
up against a favorite to win it all.
As the No. 10 seed going up against No. 7
Leland, the Cherokees should have a legiti-
mate chance to pick up a rare post-season win.
The Bad
Of the 16 county teams to qualify for the
baseball or softball brackets, there are only
three who received home games: Menlo
School in baseball, and Capuchino and Half
Moon Bay softball.
While the travel of 13 of other teams cer-
tainly keeps only but the hard-core supporter
from showing up, it also means more gas
money and more mileage on the cars of the
Daily Journal sports department.
Who has it worse than us? Carlmont base-
ball and Hillsdale softball. Carlmont coach
Rich Vallero must have somehow angered the
baseball gods because, for the second year in
a row, the Scots drew CCS power St. Francis
in the rst round. The Scots pulled off one of
the biggest upsets in CCS history last year
when, as the No. 16 seed, beat the top-seeded
Lancers. Can the Scots make it two years in a
row? Im sure Scots would have welcomed
any other opponent.
I can just imagine the response from
Hillsdale softball coach Randy Metheany
when the Division II brackets were set up.
Metheany has told me in no uncertain terms
what he thinks about CCS and the West
Catholic Athletic League and the Knights
seeding almost appear personal.
Once again, the Knights will go up against
a team from the WCAL in Presentation. Guess
whos waiting for the winner? Top-seeded
Mitty, who is also one of the top teams in the
nation. Mitty knocked the Knights out in the
seminals last year. Two years ago, Hillsdale
dropped a heartbreaker to Valley Christian.
In no way am I saying the brackets are
rigged against Carlmont and Hillsdale. It is,
truly, an unfortunate coincidence.

Raiders lean on Leinarts knowledge of offense
ALAMEDA Matt Leinart has gone from
being Carson Palmers protege at Southern
California to his teacher with the Oakland
Raiders a decade later.
Leinart signed with Oakland earlier this
month to back up his former college teammate
and also pass on tips based on his intricate
knowledge of the Raiders new offense.
Leinart spent the past two seasons in Houston,
where new Oakland offensive coordinator
Greg Knapp was his quarterbacks coach.
It made just perfect sense for me to come
here and help out these guys with this
offense because this is a brand new offense
for almost everyone on the offensive side,
Leinart said. It was a no-brainer, a great
opportunity for me to come in here and help
in any way I can.
Leinart said he learned a lot about this
offense playing behind Matt Schaub the past
two seasons and is ready to pass on those tips.
For example on Monday, at the teams rst
OTA, Leinart said he told Palmer to stay with
a certain route a little bit longer because it will
pay off for him.
The great thing is, Ive repped a lot of
these plays over the course of the past two
seasons whereas hes running a lot of these
plays for the first time or second time,
Leinart said. Ive watched Matt Schaub who
operates this offense as good as anybody, Ive
picked his brain for two years. In essence, Im
here for Carson to help him with reads, to let
him know that certain things are very good,
just to stay on it, because when youre taught
a new offense, theres things youre not used
to. Youre used to doing it a certain way.
Sometimes the reads are a little different.
Palmer is not known as a mobile quarter-
back, raising questions about how well he
would t into an offense that relies heavily on
bootlegs and rollouts.
Leinart said he believes the transition will
be easy, noting it has some similarities to what
they both ran when they won their Heisman
Trophies at USC.
Carsons been around a long time. Hes a
smart quarterback, hes had a lot of success.
Hell be ne, Leinart said. But thats de-
nitely the cool thing, were so comfortable
with each other, weve been teammates, weve
been friends for the past 10 years, so thats the
relationship we have and Im here to help him
as much as possible.
Leinart spent two years behind Palmer at
USC, including when Palmer won the
Heisman Trophy in 2002. Leinart took over
the Trojans the next season and won two
national championships and the Heisman
Trophy in 2004.
He was drafted 10th overall by Arizona in
2006 despite being told by late Raiders owner
Al Davis that Oakland wouldnt let him get
past seven. The Raiders took safety Michael
Huff instead and Leinart went to the
Cardinals.
Leinart started 11 games as a rookie with
the Cardinals but only seven games in the past
ve seasons.
He broke his collarbone after ve starts in
2007 and then was beaten out for the starting
job the next season by Kurt Warner. He spent
the past two seasons with the Texans as
Schaubs backup.
Teen Bryce Harper
hits first major league HR
WASHINGTON Bryce Harper
became the youngest major leaguer
to homer since 1998, going deep for
the rst time with the Washington
Nationals on a solo shot to straight-
away center eld Monday night off
San Diego Padres right-hander Tim
Stauffer.
The 19-year-old Harper drove a 2-
1 pitch to the grass backdrop just to
the left of the 402-foot marker with
two outs in the third inning.
Harper raced around the bases
quickly and continued his sprint
straight to the dugout, where he
exchanged high-fives with team-
mates. As the crowd cheered,
Harper came to the top of the
dugout steps for a curtain call,
thrusting his right index nger into
the air.
The homer came in the outeld-
ers 15th game and 54th at-bat with
the Nationals.
Hes the youngest current player
in the majors and, at 19 years and
211 days old, the youngest to hit a
homer since Adrian Beltre of the
Los Angeles Dodgers was 19 years
and 171 days old on Sept. 25, 1998,
according to STATS LLC.
Harper was the No. 1 overall pick
in the 2010 amateur draft and spent
time at Single-A and Double-A last
season. He began 2012 at Triple-A
Syracuse, then was called up to the
majors in late April because of a
series of injuries to Nationals
starters.

The Knight all but breezed
through the CCS tournament.
In their rst match, they swept
unseeded Mountain View 18-0.
Menlo turned around and took
down No. 8 Los Altos 15-0. No. 5
Stevenson met almost the exact
same fate in a 15-1 sweep defeat to
the Knights.
Menlo topped it all off with that
championship win against
Bellarmine.
Against the Bells, junior Andrew
Ball won both his No. 1 singles
matches in the three-singles, three-
doubles format. Junior Richard
Pham and senior Justin Chan also
each went 2-0 at No. 2 and No. 3
singles, respectively.
Andrew Ball was incredible and
all the singles were unbelievable
Richard Pham and Justin Chan,
Shine said.
In doubles, the No.1 team of
David Ball and Daniel Morkovine
went 2-0.
They saved 10 match points,
Shine said about the teams second-
round match. They played great
when they needed to.
Menlos freshman duo of Vikram
Chari and Victor Pham also went 2-

Giants return home, win
SAN FRANCISCO Buster
Posey hit a go-ahead RBI single in
the eighth inning, and the San
Francisco Giants beat the Colorado
Rockies 3-1 on Monday night to
match their best winning streak of
the season at three games.
Gregor Blanco hit a tying home
run leading off the sixth for San
Francisco and also added a pair of
singles, including one to start the
rally in the eighth against loser Rex
Brothers (1-2). Joaquin Arias then
beat out an infield single when
Rockies catcher Wilin Rosario tried
to let the bunt up the rst base line
roll foul and it stayed fair. He rushed
his throw to rst and the ball got
past Todd Helton for an error that
moved Blanco to third.
Sergio Romo (2-0) struck out
Michael Cuddyer with runners on
second and third to end the eighth
for the win. Santiago Casilla n-
ished for his eighth save in nine
chances despite allowing an
unearned run in the ninth.
Casilla retired Chris Nelson on a
groundout to end it with the bases
loaded.
The Rockies got a scare in the
eighth when Troy Tulowitzki took a
foul ball hit by teammate Dexter
Fowler off the left leg.
After being examined by athletic
trainer Keith Dugger, Tulowitzki
stayed in the game and took his at-
bat. The star shortstop reached on an
ineld single against Javier Lopez
but hobbled to the base, clearly in
pain. Manager Jim Tracy and
Dugger hustled out to first and
Tulowitzki was lifted for pinch-run-
ner Nelson.
Brett Pill singled in an insurance
run in the eighth for the Giants after
he couldnt come through earlier.
In the sixth, Posey hit a two-out
single and Angel Pagan doubled to
bring up Pill with runners on second
and third, but he struck out. Posey
snapped an 0-for-10 funk with just
his fourth hit in 28 at-bats.
Rosario hit a towering home run
deep into the left-eld bleachers to
start the fourth for Colorado, which
missed several other scoring oppor-
tunities in losing its fourth in a row
and ninth in 10. The Rockies are
wrapping up a rough eight-game
road trip with this short two-game
series.
Christian Friedrich delivered the
kind of outing Colorado desperately
needed in just his second career
start. The left-hander struck out 10
and walked one, allowing six hits
and one run in seven innings.

Lawmaker blasts Title IX,
Brandi Chastain winces
SACRAMENTO If Brandi Chastain
could have cried foul, she would have.
The world-famous U.S. womens soccer
player was in Sacramento on Monday with her
Brazilian counterpart Sissi to be honored by
the California Assembly as it recognized the
40th anniversary of Title IX.
The occasion prompted Assemblyman
Chris Norby to reveal that he wasnt a fan of
the 1972 federal law chiey known for man-
dating gender equity in high school and colle-
giate sports. The Fullerton Republican said he
thought Title IX had come at the expense of
male athletes, particularly those who depend
on sports scholarships.
We need to be honest about the effects of
what I believe are faulty court interpretations
or federal enforcement of Title IX, because it
has led to the abolition of many male sports
across the board in UCs and Cal States, he
said. And that was never the intention of this,
to have numerical equality. It was never the
intention to attain equality by reducing oppor-
tunities for the men.
Standing in the back of the chamber,
Chastain, who plays with the semi-profession-
al California Storm in Sacramento, visibly
bristled at Norbys remarks and raised her
hand to try to interject. But she was denied the
chance to give a rebuttal because resolutions
do not have public hearings.
She did, however, get some assists from
other lawmakers. Assemblyman Mike Feuer, a
Los Angeles Democrat, pointed out that the
softball elds at the high school where his
daughter pitches pales in comparison to the
boys baseball diamond. Equality is yet to be
attained, Feuer said.
Assemblyman Jim Silva, a Sunset Beach
Republican, also came to Chastains defense.
A former high school football coach, Silva
said that he, too, once questioned providing
more funding for female athletes.
Then, on March 18, 1978, my world com-
pletely switched, the Sunset Beach
Republican said. That was the day my
daughter was born.
Chastain is remembered for and revered by
womens sports enthusiasts for making the
game-winning kick when the U.S. faced
China in the 1999 Womens World Cup, and
celebrating the victory by stripping down to
her sports bra. And while Norbys comments
obviously rankled, she did not blow her top.
In the end, Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla
reached her goal for AJR27: the measure
passed 68 to 0, with 67 co-sponsors.
Bulldog family grows
The Bulldog family just got a little bigger.
The College of San Mateo announced the
arrival of baby Dylan Borg, son of CSM soft-
ball head coach Nicole Borg, Monday.
Dylan was born Sunday, on Mothers Day
no less.
According to CSM Sports Information
Director Fred Baer, Borg went into labor
Saturday morning, only hours before her team
was set to take the eld in the California
Community College Softball Super Regional
hosted on her home eld.
Dylan was born just hours after the
Bulldogs were eliminated from the playoffs
following losses to Ohlone College and Sierra
College.
College of San Mateos womens softball
team was, effectively, one pitch away from
reaching the Super Regional nals, holding a
2-1 lead over rival Ohlone College with one
out in the bottom of the seventh inning and a
runner on rst base in Saturdays winners
bracket contest. But that is when the
Bulldogs exquisite season began to collapse.
The states winningest pitcher, CSMs
Michele Pilster, had hit Ohlones leadoff bat-
ter, Ashley Vignola, and then got Kaley
Marden to pop out in foul territory. All Pilster
needed for her 30th victory was a double play
ball to send CSM into Sundays championship
game.
Instead, Ohlones Lauren Ermitano sent a
Pilster fastball over the left eld fence for a
walkoff 3-2 win, putting San Mateo into the
losers bracket for another tough game a half
hour later.
The homer spoiled a ne outing by Pilster,
who did not give up more than one hit in any
inning and struck out six.
In Game 2, San Mateo trailed 6-1 going into
the bottom of the seventh before batting
around for a three-run rally (after two outs)
that fell just a bit short. Mikayla Conlin came
to bat with the bases loaded as the potential
winning run, but grounded out to second base
to end the CSM season.
CSM nished 39-5. Pilster ended her fresh-
man season 29-5 after the double setbacks on
Saturday.
Borg is president elect of the California
Community College Fastpitch Coaches
Association and is due in Bakerseld next
weekend for meetings in conjunction with the
CCCAA State Final Four at Bakersfield
College, May 18-20.
NFLPA to file grievance
NEW YORK The NFL players union
grievance against the league in the Saints
bounties scandal will be heard Wednesday.
The union claims NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell doesnt have the authority to
hand out discipline for player conduct that
occurred before the current collective bargain-
ing agreement was nalized last August. The
players argue that a CBA arbitrator, and not
Goodell, has the right to decide player punish-
ment under such circumstances, as well as
rule on any appeals.
Arbitrator Shyam Das will hear the case.
Das was red as the permanent arbitrator for
baseball on Monday, but that does not affect
his status with the NFL and NFLPA.
The union also maintains that appeals for
on-eld behavior should be heard by appeals
ofcers Art Shell and Ted Cottrell, not the
commissioner. Shell and Cottrell are
employed by the NFL and the NFLPA as inde-
pendent hearing ofcers when players are
ned or suspended for agrant hits during
games.
Goodell suspended four players, including
linebacker Jonathan Vilma for the 2012 sea-
son, after a league investigation uncovered a
pay-for-hits program at New Orleans that ran
from 2009-11. Also suspended were Saints
defensive end Will Smith for four games; line-
backer Scott Fujita, now with Cleveland, for
three games; and DE Anthony Hargrove, now
with Green Bay, for eight games.
Those suspended players have led appeals,
but no date has been set to hear them. The
union wants those appeals heard by another
arbitrator, Stephen Burbank, rather than by
Goodell.
Previously, Goodell suspended Saints coach
Sean Payton for the 2012 season. General
manager Mickey Loomis got eight games,
assistant coach Joe Vitt now serving as
Saints interim coach received six games
and the club was ned $500,000.

Paul effectively ending
presidential campaign
WASHINGTON Ron Paul, the congressman from Texas
and a favorite of tea partyers, effectively ended his presidential
campaign Monday but urged his fervent supporters to contin-
ue working at the state party level to cause havoc for presump-
tive Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
In an email to supporters, Paul urged his libertarian-leaning
backers to remain involved in politics and champion his caus-
es despite the apparent end of his presidential aspirations. Paul
has found success in wrecking the selection process for dele-
gates to the partys late-summer nominating convention in
Tampa, Fla., and trumpeted that he has delayed Romneys
expected nomination.
Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend
resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet
voted, Paul said in his statement. Doing so with any hope of
success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply
do not have. I encourage all supporters of liberty to make sure
you get to the polls and make your voices heard, particularly in
the local, state and congressional elections, where so many
defenders of freedom are ghting and need your support.
Pauls supporters have proved successful in winning state
GOP conventions in places such as Maine and Nevada. His
supporters in Iowa and Nevada were chosen to lead the state
central parties.
Pauls ock is likely to make similar inroads this weekend in
Minnesota, which Paul was slated to address. Paul has already
dominated the states congressional district conventions, win-
ning at least 18 of the 24 national delegates selected, even
though he nished a distant second to Rick Santorum in local
caucuses in February.
Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention
process. We will continue to take leadership positions, win del-
egates and carry a strong message to the Republican National
Convention that liberty is the way of the future, Paul vowed.
Primaries have not been Pauls strong suit - he hasnt won a
single primary or caucus. But Pauls supporters have success-
fully navigated the convention process in a number of states,
adding to Pauls delegate total while gaining inuence over
state parties.

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama tried Monday to tarnish Mitt
Romney as a corpo-
rate titan who got
rich by cutting rather
than creating jobs,
opening a new effort
to undercut the
Republicans claims
that his background
of business success
is just what America
needs in a time of
deep economic
uncertainty.
At the center of the Obama campaign
effort are a new website, TV ad and
online video including interviews with
onetime workers at a Kansas City, Mo.,
steel mill that Romneys former private
equity rm failed to successfully restruc-
ture. Workers lost jobs and health care
benets. Pensions were reduced.
It was like a vampire. They came in
and sucked the life out of us, says steel-
worker Jack Cobb. Add John Wiseman:
Bain Capital walked away with a lot of
money that they made off this plant. We
view Mitt Romney as a job destroyer.
Countering the criticism, Romneys
campaign said the former Massachusetts
governor welcomes an election-season
conversation with Obama about jobs.
Romneys campaign has argued that he
helped spur tens of thousands of jobs in
the public and private sectors and point-
ed to a net job loss during Obamas pres-
idency, most of which occurred during
the rst few months of his administra-
tion. Obama has touted the creation of
4.2 million new jobs over the last 26
months as his policies took hold.
Both candidates are seeking to pivot to
voters No. 1 issue, the economy, and
away from the social issues that domi-
nated after the president announced his
support for gay marriage last week.
Obama steered clear of criticizing
Romney during a commencement
speech at Barnard College in New York
though he included a passing reference
to nearby Wall Street, saying: Some
folks in the nancial world have not
exactly been model corporate citizens.
He left the more direct skewering to sur-
rogates and dispatched Vice President
Joe Biden to Ohio to castigate Romney
over his record at Bain. That was one of
several events planned to highlight the
Republicans role in the company he
founded.
Romney, meanwhile, prepared to
deliver a speech Tuesday in Iowa on
reducing the huge federal debt.
Mondays dreary global financial
backdrop set the stage for a sharp debate
in the coming weeks between the candi-
dates over their competing economic
philosophies, and it highlighted the pub-
lics unhappiness with big business and
government institutions alike.
JPMorgan Chases disclosure that it
lost more than $2 billion on bad trading
bets renewed calls for tighter oversight
of the nations biggest nancial institu-
tions, a position that Obama has sup-
ported and Romney has opposed. And
world markets were tenuous as Greece
weighed whether to renege on the terms
of its painful austerity program and
leave the Euro currency bloc.

DALLAS For two decades, Rep.
Eddie Bernice Johnson has been an out-
spoken voice for Democrats in her signa-
ture bright blazer and multicolored scarf.
Now the rst black woman to represent
North Texas in Congress faces serious
opposition in the May 29 primary elec-
tion, and the effort to unseat her is just one
of several challenges against some of the
longest-serving black members of
Congress.
I will always be ever more grateful for
the trails that she has blazed, said Eva
Jones, owner of a barbeque restaurant
who was chairwoman of Johnsons rst
House campaign in 1992. But there has
come a time where we need new leader-
ship, like in any business, like with any-
thing.
Longtime black incumbents in Dallas,
Detroit and New York City are being chal-
lenged by a younger generation of black
ofce-seekers who arent waiting for
retirements by the old guard, including
nationally known gures whose activism
dates to the civil rights movement.
In Michigan, 82-year-old Rep. John
Conyers, the oldest black member of the
House, has several challengers. In New
York, longtime Rep. Charles Rangel, 81
and a political xture in Harlem, also has
multiple challengers.
One of Conyers rivals, Michigan state
Sen. Bert Johnson, said voters who sup-
ported the congressman for decades in his
Detroit district recognize that perhaps
were not trying to integrate lunch coun-
ters so much as work to prevent foreclo-
sures in struggling neighborhoods.
Those people know that there is a
nexus between their experience and the
youthful vigor and zeal that I bring to the
table, said Johnson, who at 38 was born
eight years after Conyers took ofce in
1965 following his work with civil rights
leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa
Parks.

CHICAGO One in 3 young
adults with autism have no paid job
experience, college or technical
schooling nearly seven years after
high school graduation, a study
nds. Thats a poorer showing than
those with other disabilities includ-
ing those who are mentally disabled,
the researchers said.
With roughly half a million autis-
tic kids reaching adulthood in the
next decade, experts say its an issue
policymakers urgently need to
address.
The study was done well before
unemployment peaked from the
recession. The situation today is
tough even for young adults who
dont have such limitations.
Ian Wells of Allentown, N.J., is
21, autistic and wont graduate from
high school until next year. He is
unlikely to attend college because of
his autism. He wants a job but has
only found unpaid internships and is
currently working part-time and
unpaid as a worker at a fastener fac-
tory.
Hes a hard worker, with good
mechanical skills, but has trouble
reading and speaking, said his moth-
er, Barbara Wells. She said his dif-
culties understanding social cues
and body language can make other
people uncomfortable.
Im very afraid about his
prospects for ever nding long-term
employment, she said. It keeps me
up at night.
The study, published online
Monday in Pediatrics, was based on
data from 2007-08. It found that
within two years of leaving high
school, more than half of those with
autism had no job experience, col-
lege or technical education.
Things improved as they got
older. Yet nearly seven years after
high school, 35 percent of autistic
young adults still had no paid
employment or education beyond
high school.
Those gures compare with 26
percent of mentally disabled young
adults, 7 percent of young adults
with speech and language problems,
and 3 percent of those with learning
disabilities.
Those with autism may fare worse
because many also have each of the
other disabilities studied.
The researchers analyzed data
from a national study of kids receiv-
ing special education services, pre-
pared for the U.S. Department of
Education. About 2,000 young
adults with one of four types of dis-
abilities were involved, including
500 with autism.
Its the largest study to date on the
topic and the results are quite a
cause for concern, said lead author
Paul Shattuck, an assistant professor
at Washington Universitys Brown
School of Social Work in St. Louis.
There is this wave of young chil-
dren who have been diagnosed with
autism who are aging toward adult-
hood. Were kind of setting our-
selves up for a scary situation if we
dont think about that and how were
going to help these folks and their
families, Shattuck said.
Government data suggest that 1 in
88 U.S. kids have autism and theres
evidence that the rate is rising.
Within the next 10 years, more
than 500,000 kids with autism will
reach adulthood, said Peter Bell,
vice president for programs and
services at Autism Speaks, an advo-
cacy group that helped pay for the
study.
Its a huge, huge issue, Bell
said. Unfortunately there are many
families that really struggle to
understand what that transition ulti-
mately entails. ... They face the real-
ity of having a child who may poten-
tially not be able to have enough
services to keep them busy during
the day.
Its only going to get worse,
Bell said.
His own 19-year-old son has
autism and is being home-schooled
and Bell has hired therapists to pre-
pare him for jobs and other life
skills.
Carol Schall, a special education
policy specialist, said the results
conrm smaller studies showing dif-
culties facing kids with autism as
they transition into adulthood, and
also highlight a need for better job
training services offered in public
schools for special education stu-
dents.
She is involved in research at
Virginia Commonwealth University
investigating whether on-the-job
training and teaching social cues to
high school students with autism
makes them more employable.
Kids are taught a range of practi-
cal skills and appropriate behavior.
It takes a much higher degree of
intensity for them to learn skills
than for other kids, she said.

Britain bedeviled by binge drinking
By Sylvia Hui
LONDON The girls slumped in wheelchairs look barely
conscious, their blond heads lolling above the plastic vomit bags
tied like bibs around their necks.
Its an hour to midnight on Friday, and the two girls, who look
no older than 18, are being wheeled from an ambulance to a clin-
ic set up discreetly in a dark alley in Londons Soho entertain-
ment district.
Theyre the rst of many to be picked up on this night by the
ambulance, known as a booze bus, and carried to the clinic
both government services dedicated to keeping drunk people out
of trouble, and out of emergency rooms.
Binge drinking has reached crisis levels in Britain, health
experts say, costing the cash-strapped National Health Service
2.7 billion pounds (US$4.4 billion) a year, including the cost of
hospital admissions related to booze-fueled violence and longer-
term health problems. Unlike all other major health threats, liver
disease is on the rise in Britain, increasing by 25 percent in the
last decade and causing a record level of deaths, according to
recent government gures.
Doctors believe rising obesity is combining with heavy drink-
ing to fuel the spike in liver disease, which is hitting more young
people than ever.
Undoubtedly professionals are seeing more (patients) in their
late-20s to mid-30s, which would have been unusual 20 years
ago, said Chris Day, a liver disease specialist at Newcastle
University.
On the streets of Soho, most people are too busy drinking to
notice passed-out partyers. The streets, lined with pubs and
nightclubs, are just beginning to get rowdy: Men chasing each
other and shrieking like teenagers; women stumbling and falling
over in their too-short skirts and high heels. Soon the sidewalks
are littered with empty beer bottles and reeking puddles.
Such public displays of extreme drunkenness are inexplicable
and shocking to many foreigners living in Britain, even those
who hail from heavy drinking cultures.
(At home) its embarrassing to be drunk. Here its kind of
something you brag about, said Kaisa Toroskainen, a Finnish
graduate student in London having a beer with her friends.
The headline-grabbing gures about ever-younger liver dis-
ease victims may seem to suggest that Britain has quite recently
turned into a nation of raging alcoholics. But its not news that
the British like their tipple. This is, after all, a nation known
around the world for its ales and its pubs, the default venue for
any British social gathering from a quiet date to after-work net-
working.

AUGUSTA, Ga. After 10 days in the
hospital, a Georgia graduate student fight-
ing a rare flesh-eating infection isnt letting
the breathing tube in her throat stop her
from mouthing questions such as Where
am I? and How long have I been here?
The parents of 24-year-old Aimee
Copeland said Monday they know many
more questions and much tougher
answers will come as soon as doctors
remove the respirator and allow her to
breathe on her own.
Doctors have already amputated most of
Copelands left leg to save her life after the
infection spread rapidly from a nasty gash
she suffered when she fell from a zip line
May 1. Her parents said shell likely lose
her fingers as well, though doctors hope to
save the palms of her hands, which could
allow her to one day use prosthetic fingers.
Andy Copeland told NBCs Today show
Monday his daughter remains unaware of
any of this. Its not clear exactly when her
breathing tube could be taken out.
Obviously shes going to have a lot of
questions and there will be a lot revealed to
her that day, a lot of things that are going to
generate some very emotional responses
from Amy, Copelands father said.
The woman, a graduate student in psy-
chology, remained in critical condition
Monday at Doctors Hospital in Augusta.
Just over a week ago, her family was told
her chances of survival were very slim.
Copeland contracted the rare infection,
called necrotizing fasciitis, within a few
days after suffering a deep cut when she fell
from a zip line that snapped over rocks in
the Little Tallapoosa River. She was on a
kayaking trip with friends.
Doctors at the local emergency room in
Carrollton closed the wound with nearly two
dozen staples, but it became infected within
a few days. On May 4, she was diagnosed
with the rare infection and flown 200 miles
to Augusta for treatment by specialists.
One expert who is not involved in
Copelands care said Monday if sur-
geons have been able to get ahead of the
spread of her infection, and if Copeland is
on the right antibiotics, then the worst may
have passed.
Every hour that goes by, her prognosis
improves, said Dr. William Schaffner, an
infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt
University. She probably still has months of
care and rehabilitation ahead of her, he said.
Copelands family has remained at her
side, playing her favorite music by Bob
Marley and others to help her relax and
heal. Doctors are using drugs to help keep
her calm and sedate.
They are giving her medication to help
her forget the stress shes under, so that
explains her inability to recollect many
things, her father posted over the weekend
on a blog hes using to update friends and
supporters. This is good for her, but mild-
ly frustrating for us. It frustrates me
because I want her to be able to focus on
what she can control, not on things she can-
not control.
Copelands parents did not immediately
respond to interview requests from the
Associated Press made through email, a
hospital spokeswoman and a family friend.
Her doctors were not commenting Monday,
said hospital spokeswoman Barclay Bishop.
Infections by flesh-eating bacteria are rare
but sometimes can run rampant after even
minor cuts or scratches. The bacteria enter
the body, quickly reproduce and give off tox-
ins that cut off blood flow to parts of the
body. The affliction can destroy muscle, fat
and skin tissue. Affected areas may have to
be surgically removed to save a patients life.
The bacteria that infected Copeland, a
bug called Aeromonas hydrophila, is found
in warm and brackish waters. Many people
exposed to these bacteria dont get sick.
When illnesses do occur, its often diarrhea
from swallowing bacteria in the water.
Flesh-eating Aeromonas cases are so rare
that only a handful of infections have been
reported in medical journals over the last
few decades.
At the University of West Georgia in
Carrollton, where Copeland was preparing
to dive into work on her masters thesis,
friends held a vigil last week and were
organizing a blood drive Tuesday.
Friends describe her as positive and tena-
cious when it comes to tackling problems
attributes they say should help her in
whats sure to be a long recovery.
We just pray that she gets through this,
said Richard LaFleur, a fellow graduate stu-
dent who works with Copeland in the psy-
chology department. Life will not be the
same, but I know that Aimee can adapt. And
whatever we have to do to help, we will.

CADEREYTA, Mexico
Authorities struggled Monday to
identify 49 bodies without heads,
hands or feet to gain clues into the
latest in a series of massacres from
an escalating war between Mexicos
two dominant drug cartels, with
increasing evidence that innocents
are being pulled into the bloodbath
along with gang rivals.
More than 24 hours after the grue-
some discovery, ofcials had yet to
identify any of the mutilated corpses
found near the northern industrial
city of Monterrey. None of the bod-
ies examined so far showed signs of
gunshots, Nuevo Leon state security
spokesman Jorge Domene told
Milenio television.
Though it was unclear who the
victims were, it was the fourth mas-
sacre in a month. Mexicos interior
secretary, Alejandro Poire, said
Monday that all those incidents
resulted from the ght between the
Zetas gang and the Sinaloa Cartel,
which have emerged in the last year
as the two main forces in Mexican
drug-trafcking and other organized
crime.
Some victims in earlier body
dumps have turned out to be bakers,
brick layers, even students any-
one who could be snatched off the
streets in mass killings that one cap-
tured gang member said were
designed to cause terror.
Poire would not respond directly
when asked by the Associated Press
if innocents have increasingly
become targets.
We dont have proper identica-
tion of the dead, he said. We have
to leave that to the investigation.
We have to look deeper ... to
know the motives or who could have
been the victims of violence, Poire
added.
The 43 men and six women found
Sunday were dumped at the
entrance to the town of San Juan in
the municipality of Cadereyta about
105 miles (175 kilometers) south-
west of McAllen, Texas.

TRIPOLI, Lebanon Firing
assault ries and rocket-propelled
grenades, Lebanese gunmen clashed
in street battles Monday as sectarian
tensions linked to the 14-month-old
uprising in Syria bled across the
border for a third day.
At least ve people have been
killed and 100 wounded in
Lebanons second-largest city since
the gunbattles erupted late Saturday,
security ofcials said. Residents say
differences over Syria are at the root
of the ghting, which pits neighbor
against neighbor and raises fears of
broader unrest that could draw in
neighboring countries.
Lebanon and Syria share a com-
plex web of political and sectarian
ties and rivalries, which are easily
enamed. Tripoli has seen bouts of
sectarian violence in the past, but
the ghting has become more fre-
quent as the conict in Syria wors-
ens.
The ghting camps break down
along sectarian and political lines.
On one side are Sunni Muslims who
support the rebels trying to oust
Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Syrian unrest spills into
Lebanon for third day
such as public worker pension and
teacher accountability.
When you have unsustainable
policies, you have unsustainable
budgets, said Republican Senate
leader Bob Huff of Diamond Bar.
Speaking to reporters, Brown
addressed the difference between
the optimistic state revenue projec-
tions he expected months ago and
the reality of todays numbers.
Based on the best gures the state
could gather, he said he believed at
the time that there was a reason-
able shot at getting an additional
$4 billion in revenue.
We didnt get it. ... We always
have to prepare for getting less than
we expect or in some cycles we get
more. Thats the way it is, Brown
said. But the point is, its very easy
to play gotcha. But when I have to
cut and people lose their jobs a
mother loses her child care, maybe
her job Im reluctant to do that if
theres a plausible reason why we
might not have to.
Public schools, which account for
about 40 percent of state spending,
would see a funding increase of 16
percent if voters approve Browns
tax initiative. More money also
would ow to the states three high-
er education systems, which have
been the subject of student and fac-
ulty protests as courses have been
cut and tuition has soared in recent
years.
Brown acknowledged that the
Democrats who control the
Legislature do not want to make
more budget cuts, but he said doing
so was unavoidable.
Given the decade of scal dis-
connect, Ive committed to righting
the ship of state and getting it into
balance, Brown said. Otherwise,
we borrow and sink deeper into
debt.
BUDGET
tax measure in November, education
faces billions in cuts. Locally, the
County Office of Education has
instructed districts to create budgets
as if the tax fails rather than bank on
funds that may never come through.
I appreciate the governors con-
tinuing efforts to cure Californias
structural budget decit and to keep
school funding at the status quo
level even though revenue projec-
tions are falling short of what was
anticipated, said County
Superintendent Anne Campbell.
However, the May revise leaves
school districts confronting
unprecedented uncertainty as they
work to adopt their 2012-13 budgets
by June 30. Should they build their
budgets based upon the assumption
that the November initiatives will
pass? That theyll fail? Our local
districts are each struggling with
how to meet this immensely difcult
challenge.
Under the governors proposal,
funding for K-12 education would
receive an increase of 16 percent
with voter support. If approved,
state funding for K-12 schools
would increase from $29.3 billion in
last years budget to $34.0 billion by
the end of 2013. In January, the gov-
ernor made a number of other pro-
posals that have been changed.
For example, he suggested cutting
transitional kindergarten. Under the
Kindergarten Readiness Act of
2010, authored by state Sen. Joe
Simitian, D-Palo Alto, students
must be 5 years old to start kinder-
garten. Starting this year, the dead-
line to turn 5 will slowly be moved
up from Dec. 1 to Sept. 1. An addi-
tional year of transitional kinder-
garten, called TK, was supposed to
be offered for children with birth-
days after the new deadlines and
the new program called for state
funding. That funding was in limbo
as Browns January budget proposal
calls to cut $223.7 million which
would result in the elimination of
transitional kindergarten.
Legislators have come out against it.
Another suggestion from January
was a weighted funding formula,
which Brown has suggested chang-
ing. The details arent completely
clear but could mean more funding
locally but not equally for all dis-
tricts.
A number of education groups
sent press releases as a result of the
revise responding that it truly
showed why voters should support
schools going forward.
Todays May revision raises the
stakes for Californias public
schools, which now need the help of
voters to prevent more than $5 bil-
lion in cuts and a dramatically short-
ened school year, State
Superintendent Tom Torlakson
wrote in a prepared statement. Our
states nancial difculties cannot
be resolved within the Capitol
alone. As Californians, we share a
common future. The 6.2 million stu-
dents we serve today will soon be
the doctors who treat our aches and
pains, the architects and skilled
workers who build our homes and
factories and the programmers and
engineers who design our cars and
our computers.
In terms of higher education, one
big change was the proposal to
award Cal Grants using the same
formula that determines federal Pell
Grant awards to ensure the neediest
applicants continue to receive help.
We are pleased that our needy
students will continue to get Cal
Grants, said Kathy Blackwood,
chief nancial ofcer for the San
Mateo County Community College
District. We are concerned, howev-
er, that the Board of Governors Fee
Waiver is proposed to increase the
identied need of a student from at
least $1 to at least $1,400 or so.
The BOG Fee Waiver program
offers a waiver of the enrollment
and student service fees along with
a portion of the semesters student
parking fees for eligible students.

But in San Mateo, the city held a wel-
come home parade in 1972 for its adopt-
ed sons, the only city in the entire United
States to do so.
Forty years later, the city is set to
honor the current members of the
Screaming Eagles, recently returned
from a 12-month tour of duty in
Afghanistan and those alums of the
group that fought in Vietnam, Iraq and
elsewhere in a series of events Memorial
Day weekend.
San Mateo adopted the Screaming
Eagles after a letter home from Sgt. Joe
Artavia to his sister Linda in December
1967.
Sis do you think you could get the
City of San Mateo to Adopt us, for
morale support? You see, many of the
guys arent getting mail and maybe
someone back home could write us and
we would write back. I know it would
bring their morale up AS HIGH AS THE
CLOUDS, please try Sis.
Three months later, the San Mateo
City Council passed a resolution to
adopt the company. Three weeks later,
Artavia would become the rst adopted
son to die in action in Vietnam.
His sister Linda, though, would go on
to visit the infantry group in Vietnam
during Christmas 1968 where she per-
sonally delivered medallions with the
San Mateo City Seal on it. Under the
seal, read Adopted Son with each
mans name engraved on it.
Many of the Vietnam vets with the
Screaming Eagles still carry those
medallions or other tokens the city gave
them in their pockets today.
It was a special trip for Linda as her
brothers platoon leader, Lt. Steve
Patterson, was assigned to be her per-
sonal escort in Vietnam during her visit.
The two would marry and have been
together more than 32 years now. She
lives in Southern California with her
husband now but started a nonprot
group in 1990 called America
Supporting Americans, when she was
able to get 60 units adopted by cities
ghting in Desert Storm in Iraq.
After the terrorist strikes of Sept. 11,
2001, the adopted sons program took off
like wildre, she said.
More than 200 cities have adopted
units over the years and about 75 cities
are currently active in the program, she
said.
But it all reects back to the city of
San Mateo, she said.
The climate at home was an anti-war
one, she said. But it wasnt about the
politics for San Mateo, it was about the
soldiers.
The Pattersons will be in San Mateo
over the Memorial Day weekend for a
parade, barbecues and tours with the
Screaming Eagles.
Lake City, Fla. resident Howard
Shepardson will also be coming back to
San Mateo for the 40th anniversary of
the parade.
He rst visited San Mateo in 1970
when he was given a key to the city after
the Screaming Eagles, commonly
referred to as ABU Company, were
adopted.
We felt like we had to hide our heads
but not in San Mateo, he said. We were
treated very well, it was a fond welcome
home. The feeling stuck with me all my
life.
He still carries the key to the city in his
pocket every day.
It is a very cherished reminder,
Shepardson said.
While San Mateo adopted Company
A, Burlingame would later adopt
Company C and Hillsborough Company
H&H.
Ofcials with all three cities will help
greet the Screaming Eagles, based in
Kentucky, next weekend.
Of all the supporters for ABU
Company, the one that will stick out in
the minds of the soldiers more than any
other is the city of San Mateo. While it
was somewhat expected that we would
receive support from our friends and
families, the men were always deeply
touched by the fact that a group of peo-
ple that they had never met would reach
out and provide such far reaching sup-
port, ABU Capt. John B. Walsh wrote
the city in a letter.
A contingent of the current 101st sol-
diers from Ft. Campbell, Ky. will y into
San Francisco Friday, May 25.
At 7 a.m. Saturday, May 26, support-
ers can get a feel for what the Screaming
Eagles put their bodies through in an
hour-long boot camp at Central Park.
Later that night, supporters can dine
with the Screaming Eagles at a recogni-
tion banquet at the Crowne Plaza in
Foster City.
Sunday, May 27, a parade to honor the
Screaming Eagles will be held in the
morning in downtown San Mateo with a
barbecue to follow at noon in Central
Park.
On Monday, May 28, the Screaming
Eagles will attend the 71st Annual
Memorial Day Observance at the
Golden Gate National Cemetery in San
Bruno at 11 a.m.
Many other events are also planned for
the Screaming Eagles leading up to
Memorial Day.
Those wishing to volunteer to wel-
come home the Screaming Eagles should
contact City Clerk Patrice Olds at
polds@cityofsanmateo.org or (650)
522-7042. For more information visit

EAGLES
new leadership.
Hutt is under contract with the district
until June 2013.
As the superintendent of schools, my
job is to keep all resources focused on
students and the dedicated staff who
serve them. In spite of the tremendous
pressures being thrust upon public edu-
cation, our district continues to demon-
strate solid gains in student achieve-
ment, Hutt wrote in an email response
to questions. On a personal note, these
challenges to my character and integrity
are hurtful, however they will not dis-
tract me from maintaining full attention
on the needs of our students.
The petition comes just weeks after a
controversial and well-attended meeting
at which the board discussed possibly
closing two schools Crestmoor and El
Crystal elementary schools. While hun-
dreds signed a petition against school
closure, the outrage came over the tim-
ing. In the week prior to the April 25
meeting, the board met and only one
possible school was on the chopping
block, Crestmoor. That changed Friday,
April 20 when Hutt released a report rec-
ommending two schools be closed in the
next school year if the district faces a
budget decit of $250,000 or more in
October or the neighborhood enrollment
drops by 30 or more students at any of
the elementary schools compared to cur-
rent enrollment. The board ultimately
voted against the proposal.
Falasco wasnt pleased with that situa-
tion but said the petition isnt an emo-
tional response to it. He would like the
community to have a working relation-
ship with the board and superintendent
based on honesty and respect. The
school closure discussion is an example
of the way Falasco would not like to see
a situation handled.
He sees new leadership as a possible
fresh start for the board and public a
good faith gesture of sorts that shows the
board is willing to work with the public.
Henderson sees it differently. From a
nancial point of view, the district is deal-
ing with tough times. Firing Hutt would
require the district to buy out his contract,
which Henderson said would be scally
irresponsible. In addition, Henderson said
Hutt has been a tremendous advocate for
the district during his time.
David Hutt has done a wonderful job
for the school district. People dont see it
that way. I recognize thats a difference
of opinion, he said.
Now, Henderson said, the community
needs to focus on working with the dis-
trict to nd nancial solutions.
Blanco, however, agrees with Falasco
that even if it cost the district, buying out
the contract would be a good move.
I dont approve of the direction the
district is going in, she said, adding she
was happy to see the parents mobilizing.
(650) 344-5200 ext. 105.
PETITION
she said.
Farber kept his comments brief in that
he was happy the truth came out.
Within the eight-page complaint from
Singson were allegations of discipline
for unfounded reasons such as mistakes
to scheduling, a persons learning dis-
ability, deciencies in eld training and
errors in evaluating ofcers.
The rst specic event listed took
place in November 2008 when Farber
contacted the former police chief Tom
Hitchcock to report Singson and his
patrol team were speeding during a pur-
suit. As a result, Singson was placed on
paid administrative leave and an investi-
gation began. Singson was not made
aware of the alleged misconduct, accord-
ing to the complaint.
A meeting with Singson and
Hitchcock to discuss in-car camera
footage of the event resulted in Singson
returning to work the next day. The
investigation was dropped.
That was just one or a number of inci-
dents with Farber outlined in the com-
plaint. The complaint also noted police
leaders were aware of the problems and
allowed them to continue.

MILLBRAE
TUESDAY, MAY 15, 2012
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It is important for you to
mingle with new people whenever you can, but this
doesnt mean you should ignore pals of long standing
in favor of someone new, either. Make time for both.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Even though your frst
inclination may be to sidestep a challenging issue,
once you take it on, youll handle it well and add to
your quality reputation.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Its wonderful that your
enthusiasms will be so easily aroused, but you must
be careful that in your zeal for accomplishment you
dont do a slipshod job in the process.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont hesitate to be a bit ad-
venturous, because there is a good chance youll dis-
cover -- both to your surprise and pleasure -- some
hidden talents that you didnt know you possessed.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There is a good chance
that instead of meeting issues head-on, you are
likely to seek postponement whenever you can. If
you focus on fnding too many excuses, youll end up
behind the eight ball.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If youre too eager to
get everything done as quickly as possible, chances
are youll be inviting problems. Youll be much more
effcient if you pace yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Youre likely to be
much happier getting involved in minor, fun and
different diversions than you will with activities that
involve big crowds.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Get that chip off
your shoulder when dealing with authority fgures.
Everything will go much smoother if you rely instead
on your wonderful sense of humor.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be careful of sug-
gestions offered by companions -- they could be
selfshly motivated. Carefully evaluate all proposals
before moving in a specifc direction.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It behooves you to
be bold and enterprising in order to make proft-
generation much easier than usual. Capitalize on
everything you can.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Try to delegate as few
assignments as possible, because there is no one
who can look out for your interests better than you.
Self-reliance has its advantages.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Its foolish to sweep
an unpleasant yet important project under the rug in
hopes that someone else will take care of it. Prompt
attention to duty is the only real solution.

Case Number 122286
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Elizabeth F. Piel. A Pe-
tition for Probate has been filed by Wil-
liam Scott Piel in the Superior Court of

Petition for Probate requests that William
Scott Piel be appointed as personal rep-
resentative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: June 8, 2012 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, 1st Floor, Redwood City,
CA 94063. If you object to the granting
of the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with
the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court
within four months from the date of first
issuance of letters as provided in Pro-
bate Code section 9100. The time for fil-
ing claims will not expire before four
months from the hearing date noticed
above. You may examine the file kept by
the court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

could sink again. A plummeting euro
may make it harder for American
companies to sell goods overseas.
Credit could be tightened.
These are all potential complica-
tions of a European debt crisis that
risks spiraling out of control. And in
todays interconnected global econo-
my, Greeces troubles could over
time become a headache for all of
Europe and by extension the rest of
the world.
That includes President Barack
Obama as he faces an already dif-
cult re-election bid, and voters as
well, from machine tool makers in
Michigan to chemical plant workers
on the Gulf coast. Pensioners and
home buyers also could be affected.
All this because Greece is at a
crossroads, unable to form a govern-
ment and decide whether it will con-
tinue on a path of harsh austerity
measures or walk away from its
debts and give up on the euro. That
would leave many European coun-
tries holding their debts and shake
the foundations of a currency used
by 331 million people.
Heres what a Greek debt default
and exit from the 17-nation eurozone
might mean for people in the United
States:
BANKS:
The short-term nancial conse-
quences of Greece defaulting may be
limited across the Atlantic. American
banks already have sharply reduced
their exposure to Greece by more
than 40 percent to $5.8 billion,
according to the government, and
Cornell University economist Eswar
Prasad said he foresees little imme-
diate blowback for the U.S. nancial
sector.
But the concern is that market
speculation would then fall on the far
larger economies of Spain and Italy.
Both are deep in the red and heavily
dependent on credit markets to stay
aoat. And their debts are held by
Europes big banks.
Economists call this threat conta-
gion. Scared investors sell off their
assets in Europes most troubled
economies and the governments
struggle to access credit while falling
into deeper recession. A crisis as bad
as Greeces in a bigger nation would
have severe global implications.
Greece is peanuts as far as the
United States is concerned, said Uri
Dadush, former economic policy
chief at the World Bank. But if
Greece leads to the contagion of
Spain and Italy, the euro could
implode. This is big business for the
U.S. Were talking trillions of dollars
in direct and indirect exposure to the
European banking sector.
Economists cite the example of
Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008
and the nancial turmoil that fol-
lowed. A repeat scenario could see
credit lines dry up as banks short of
funds limit their risks, making it
harder to secure loans for business
expansion and home mortgages.
Lending and credit growth remain
especially weak in Europe, where
over $1 trillion in cheap, three-year
loans to nancial institutions by the
European Central Bank helped stave
off a complete credit cutoff. A mas-
sive bailout fund has been set aside
in case Spain or Italy fails, too, but a
default by either country could spell
disaster for German, French and
other heavily exposed banks. They,
in turn, deal extensively with
American banks.
Its a question I dont want to nd
out the answer to, honestly, Dadush
said. There is a real danger of glob-
al depression.
MARKETS:
Many pension funds, insurance
companies and other big investors
have dumped or written off invest-
ments in Greece such as government
bonds. But theres no telling how the
markets will respond to a default.
For investors who have already
faced a half-decade of turbulence,
this weekends failure in Greece to
form a new government led Monday
to steep market drops across Europe.
Britains FTSE slipped 2 percent,
while Germanys DAX was off 1.9
percent and Frances CAC 40 fell 2.3
percent. In the U.S., the Dow Jones
industrial index was down 0.8 per-
cent at 12,714.
Each round of bad news from
Europe raises uncertainty. No one
knows how a Greek exit from the
euro would work and the nancial
swings have added to the stress on
Europes economy. And every time
stocks plunge and the borrowing
costs for troubled countries rise,
businesses and consumers grow
more cautious. This makes them
more reluctant to expand companies
or buy more property.
Europes turmoil does not bode
well for the edgling U.S. recovery,
Prasad said. He predicted that uncer-
tainty in Europe will rattle U.S.
nancial markets, as happened last
year, shaking fragile consumer and
business condence.
Greek, European woe could cause problems for U.S.

ATHENS, Greece Marathon
efforts to break Greeces post-elec-
toral paralysis are lurching into a
ninth day amid the countrys worst
crisis in decades, with fractious
party leaders summoned to a yet
another emergency meeting
Tuesday that could see the reins of
government surrendered to non-
politicians.
The hectic haggling in Athens
cast a deep gloom over global
markets, which fell Monday on
fears that the debt-crippled coun-
try will have to hold another elec-
tion within weeks the only
way out if squabbling party lead-
ers fail to strike a power-sharing
deal.
That would squander vital time
earmarked for reforming Greeces
fast-shrinking economy. In return
for the two massive international
bailouts that are its only shield
from bankruptcy, Greece has com-
mitted to implement further cut-
backs. It will otherwise face the
catastrophic prospect of bankrupt-
cy and an ignominious exit from
the euro, which would cause
unknown consequences for Europe
and the world.
European nance ministers on
Monday urged Athens to struggle
on with its reform schedule, warn-
ing that a euro exit was no longer
inconceivable.
