PORT SAILS INTO PLATINUM ANNIVERSARY
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A number of Capuchino High
School teachers are asking for
Principal Shamar Shanks to step
down citing failed communication,
an escalating number of disputes
and concerns about tolerance. She
plans to stay put, however.
In a May 30
email to
Superintendent
Scott Laurence
and the San
Mateo Union
High School
District Board of
T r u s t e e s ,
Capuchino High
School union representatives Kathy
Fogle and Naomi Tuite outline a
variety of issues including: tension
and growing discord between
Shanks and the staff; a culture of
fear for employees; and a lack of
collaboration when it comes to deci-
sions. They also point to Shanks
making religious references that can
be found offensive by those with
differing views. As a result, most
teachers recently said they would
not like her to return as principal in
the fall, according to the letter.
Both the district and Shanks note
much change has occurred at the
school, which can be difficult.
However, they point to recent gains
in test scores as proof the discom-
fort is worthwhile.
I am whole-heartedly committed
to Capuchino and I will remain to
see our collective vision through,
Shanks wrote in an email response
to the letter.
Similarly, Laurence expressed
condence in Shanks as the school
leader.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO The suddenly dis-
mal news on American jobs is a
blow to President Barack Obamas
re-election argument that he has
been a steward of recovery. Its
heightened White House anxiety
over global threats to U.S. econom-
ic growth and the presidents
political prospects, too.
The economy, Obama conceded
Friday, is not growing as fast as we
want it to.
Taking a harsher tone, presumed
Republican rival Mitt Romney
declared that the country appeared
to be moving backward. He
sought to drive
home a political
point from the
nations first
increase in job-
lessness in
almost a year.
After a winter
when the job
trends were in
his favor,
Obama has been forced onto the
defensive by three months of lack-
luster to dismal growth. Confronted
by Fridays report of a feeble 69,000
new jobs and an uptick in unem-
ployment to 8.2 percent in May,
Obama vigorously renewed his
Employment
report a blow
for president

Just days before voters head to the
polls, proponents of three county
measures that will add taxes to
rental cars and parking and increase
the hotel tax in the unincorporated
area decried what they say are lies
and distortions perpetuated by deep-
pocketed companies on behalf of the
affected industries.
They are deliberately distorting
the message, saying this is a car tax.
Nothing could be further from the
truth, said San Mateo County
Supervisor Don Horsley, referring
to radio ads attacking the tax meas-
ures.
But Kathy Turner, vice president
of legislative/government affairs for

Alex Tabing has found her place by being
part of a team both on the field and in stu-
dent government roles but never lost her
curiosity for exploring the world of science.
The 17-year-old was always curious. In
fact, at 5, she asked for a microscope, which
she still has. Her tenure with sports started
earlier though. At 4, she started playing soc-
cer. Softball started a couple years later and
lasted through her freshman year. At one
point, basketball was also in the mix.
Tabing explained she enjoyed being part
of something bigger than her. That explana-
tion speaks to many of her choices in sup-
porting her larger Notre Dame High School
community over the last four years.
Alexandra Tabing is our 2012 Great
Graduate because of her pursuit of excel-
lence in all areas without compromise, her
strength of purpose, her stellar integrity and
her consistent desire to understand and to
integrate her growing body of knowledge
with the goal of becoming a well-educated
leader and a woman for others, said
Principal Rita Gleason.
Tabing attended Our Lady of Mr. Carmel
from preschool through eighth grade before
enrolling at Notre Dame. The choice to
attend the Belmont school came after Tabing
saw the wonderful experience her older sis-
ter was having. Once in high school, Tabing
remained active in her club soccer team,
Peninsula Blue Lightning. Once at Notre
Dame, Tabing decided to play basketball at
school since she didnt have a club option
for the sport. She played for two years and
won the most inspirational player award her
freshman year.
Getting involved really took off when, at
the encouragement of her sister, Tabing ran
for class office as a freshman. As class pres-
ident, she jumped into the new school and
began meeting new people. Tabing had
wanted a challenge that required her to step
up and push herself. She found it in leader-
ship. She was also class president her soph-
omore and junior years. Most recently,
Tabing served as one of six girls on the asso-
ciated student body. The decision to stay that
involved was easy for Tabing.
I attribute a lot of who I am today to the
Notre Dame community, Tabing said,
adding she wanted to give back and serve the
community that had supported her.
One way Tabing supported the school was
by serving on the Ambassador Board and
helping to revamp the shadow program,
which allows potential new students to fol-
low a current student during the day to get a
feel for the school.
Her work supporting the school hasnt
gone unnoticed. She was given the Karen
Judge Ring Award an award passed down
by a graduating senior to a rising junior at
the school. At the time of the interview,
Tabing was still deciding who to pass the
ring on to before graduating.
Looking forward, Tabing plans to study
engineering although what kind is still up in
the air. She enjoys the practicality of engi-
neering and believes it can be the basis for a
variety of occupational options in the future.
Before starting work on her degree,
Tabing plans to make a summer bucket list
with friends and attempt to complete it.
Notre Dame High Schools graduation
will be held 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 5 at St.
Pius Catholic Church, 1100 Woodside Road,
Redwood City. Tickets are required.
Great Grads is in its seventh year profiling
one graduating senior from each of our local
schools. Schools have the option to partici-
pate. Those that choose to participate are
asked to nominate one student who deserves
recognition.

$1M sought in alleged
Redwood City teacher abuse
A mom whose 5-year-old son was
allegedly kicked and deprived of food
by a Redwood City special education
teacher is seeking more than $1 mil-
lion in damages.
Nadia Cortez led a legal claim on
Thursday that names the teacher, 44-
year-old Alexia Bogdis, and several
school district ofcials and aides.
Such claims generally precede law-
suits. Cortez says Bogdis, a teacher at
Roosevelt Elementary School, pulled
her autistic sons hair, kicked him in
the stomach and prevented him from
eating and drinking water.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Port of Redwood City is cele-
brating its 75th year by inviting over
today another septuagenarian the
USS Potomac, the presidential yacht
commonly considered the Floating
White House during its Roosevelt-
era heyday.
Together, the port and the yacht
will mark three-quarters of a century
of maritime history by throwing open
their doors to the public for a peek
into the past and at least for the
Peninsulas only active commercial
port a look to the present and
future. Its a unique opportunity to
celebrate both birthdays together,
said Port Executive Director Mike
Giari. And its a great chance to
come down to the best waterfront of
any city on the Peninsula.
Giari concedes some people dont
know the port even exists and even
more cant really say what it does. On
Saturday, though, visitors can learn
its story through historical photo-
graphs and displays by port tenants
like Sims Metal Management, which
is co-sponsoring the Potomacs rare
visit.
The port actually started operating
in the 1860s to ship logs and lumber
to build San Francisco and Oakland.
In 1936, Redwood City voters passed
a ballot measure nancing and revi-
talizing the deep-water port, making
if ofcially part of the city.
The same year, the U.S. Navy
crowned the USS Potomac as the
ofcial ship of President Franklin
Delano Roosevelt who used it until
his death in 1945. Right off the state-
room sits a large teak deck used as a
sitting area for Roosevelt. He liked
greeting dignitaries and guests in the
rounded area because it was very
wide and long to accommodate his
wheelchair, said Adam Alberti,
speaking on behalf of sponsor Sims.
It was certainly grand in its day.
Visitors will see it is still very stately
and also of that period, Alberti said.
The 165-foot ships colorful past
didnt end there. Singer Elvis Presley
was one of many owners before she
was seized in San Francisco after
being used by drug smugglers. The
ship was impounded, sank, raised
and abandoned on an East Bay estu-
ary. Rotting and a week away from
being sold for scrap, the ship was res-
cued by the Port of Oakland which
paid $15,000 and launched a $5 mil-
lion, 12-year renovation.
The last time the ship made the
voyage from Jack London Square to
Redwood City was 10 to 15 years
ago, Giari said.
Aside from the Potomac, visitors
today can also enjoy food and drink
at the Sequoia Yacht Club, listen to
live music at the waterfront stage and
learn more about the port, its tenants
and what they do.
You know all those squished cars
you see transported on the highway?
Giari asked.
They are headed to Sims which
recycles all sorts of metals.
How about the foundation of the
new San Francisco 49ers stadium in
the South Bay? All those materials
came through the Port of Redwood
City, Giari said.
About 50 to 60 vessels come
through the port with cargo yearly
and the uptick in need for construc-
tion materials like that needed for
the stadium helps keep the port
thriving even if ies under many peo-
ples radar, Giari said.
We hope people will come down
and learn more about us, Giari said.
And, of course, visit the Potomac,
too.
Port sails into platinum anniversary
The Potomac will be open for dockside tours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Saturday,June 2 at the Port of Redwood City Marina,451 Seaport Court,
Redwood City. Tours are $5 for adults, free for children 12 and under.
Parking is free.There will be live music at the ports outdoor waterfront
stage.The Sequoia Yacht Club will be open to the public for food and
beverages.

A teen who helped hold up a
San Mateo barbershop at gunpoint
was sentenced to a year in jail and
probation for making off with jew-
elry and money from both the cus-
tomers and employees.
Bernard Sims, 18, also received
a five-year suspended prison sen-
tence and was ordered to stay
away from his two co-defendants
and the San Mateo Zoo Barber
Shop. At the same hearing Friday,
Bryan Deonte Carter, 18, delayed
his sentencing in the same case
until July 22 and Dedrick Montre
Sevier, 23, reset his trial date to
July 23.
Carter and Sims each faced up
to five years in prison after plead-
ing no contest to two counts of
robbery and admitted using a
weapon and that the crime was a
violent felony. Sevier is still
charged with 10 counts of first-
degree robbery and one count of
second-degree burglary.
The three were arrested Dec. 17,
2010 on suspicion of robbing
employees and customers of the
San Mateo Zoo Barber Shop at
1226 El Camino Real. Sevier, who
is on parole for a 2008 Menlo Park
robbery, allegedly brandished a
Ruger 9 mm handgun while order-
ing everyone to the ground. The
group allegedly fled with jewelry,
wallets and cash.
Police responding to the inci-
dent chased the getaway car south
on Highway 101 and off the
Ralston Avenue exit where the
suspects allegedly tossed the gun
onto the freeway and ran. Police
apprehended the three along with
a woman reportedly driving the
car. They recovered the gun and
stolen property.
Sevier remains in custody in
lieu of $100,000 bail.

CITY GOVERNMENT
A proposal to build a series of
large ofce buildings, possibly the
home to biotech companies, at the
now-vacant former Burlingame
Drive-in, will be reviewed by the
City Council Monday.
Millennium Partners, New York-
based developers of mixed-used properties, applied in April
2010 to develop the 18.13-acre site a project now known
as Burlingame Point, located at 300 Airport Blvd. (also
known as 350 Beach Road). Plans call for 689,810 square
feet of ofce space in two ve-story buildings, one seven-
story building and one eight-story building. In December
2010, the City Council approved an agreement to conduct an
environmental review of the project, which became available
for review late last year. In May, the Planning Commission
gave unanimous support for the proposal.
As proposed, the project will provide space for either
ofce or biotech use. When last changed, the zoning for the
Bayfront was altered to be open for biotech. There would
also be a two-story, 33,400-square-foot amenities building
that would include a child-care facility, exercise facility and
a cafe/break room. Parking would be offered in a ve-story
parking structure and a podium-level parking area below the
four ofce buildings and in smaller lots scattered around the
site.
At the same meeting, the council will hold a public hear-
ing about its 2012-13 proposed budget and capital improve-
ment program.
In other business, the council will consider introducing an
ordinance to allow up to three more restaurants in certain
areas of the Burlingame Avenue Commercial District.
The council meets 7 p.m. Monday, June 4 at City Hall, 501
Primrose Road, Burlingame.

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

Man charged with
stalking female students
A 23-year-old man pleaded not guilty Friday
to allegations he stalked female high school
students in South San
Francisco.
South San Francisco
police say Diego Equihua-
Torres allegedly stalked
two students as they
walked from their school
into downtown South San
Francisco between May 22
and May 25. Equihua-
Torres never threatened or
spoke to the students, but
made it obvious he was following them, police
said. Then at about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, one
of the girls called police when she noticed
Equihua-Torres following her again.
He was found near Grand and Maple
avenues and arrested on suspicion of stalking
and annoying/harassing someone under 18
years old, police said.
On Friday, Equihua-Torres pleaded not
guilty and asked for a court-appointed attor-
ney. A judge dropped his bail to $10,000 and
ordered him back to court June 7 for a pretrial
conference followed by a June 25 jury trial.
Weekend construction to
close arrival runway, cause delays
Travelers arriving at San Francisco
International Airport this weekend should
expect delays because of the closure of one of
two main arrival runways, airport ofcials said
Friday.
Runway 28L will be closed from 8 p.m.
today through 8 a.m. Monday to allow con-
struction crews to modify lighting and signs
and install infrastructure for new runway sta-
tus lights, according to airport spokesman
Mike McCarron.
The closure will cut the arrival rate in half at
the airport, from 60 aircrafts per hour to 30,
McCarron said in a statement.
Travelers should expect delays during peak
arrival times, especially for ights originating
within two hours of SFO.
Travelers expecting to y in or out of SFO
this weekend should contact their airline
regarding possible delays.
The runway closure and construction are the
rst part of a federally mandated runway safe-
ty project. The project is expected to be com-
pleted by the fall of 2014.
Former mayor drops appointment bid
Former San Carlos mayor Brad Lewis, who
temporarily rejoined the City Council last year
after the mayor unexpectedly died, withdrew
his name from consideration for an 18-month
appointment to ll the latest mid-term vacancy.
Lewis withdrawal follows on the heels of
Cameron Johnson, a member of the citys
Economic Development Advisory
Commission, doing the same because of the
City Council request applicants agree not to
run for election in 2013.
Lewis cited the time and energy needed to
adequately ll the open seat in his withdrawal
request to City Clerk Christine Boland and
City Manager Jeff Maltbie.
Seven applicants still remain in the running
for the seat: Farrokh Albuyeh, Karen Clapper,
Ricardo Garcia-Pacheco, John Hoffmann,
Sally Mitchell, Steven San Filippo and Inge
Tiegel-Doherty. The City Council will hold
interviews and an appointment next
Wednesday night.
The current vacancy was created in April
when former mayor Andy Klein resigned for
personal reasons. After three meetings, the
council agreed to appoint a replacement until
the regular November 2013 election and ask
applicants for a promise not to run. The request
is not legally enforceable but the City Council
has used it before, most recently when Lewis
was named to ll the vacancy left by the May
2011 death of former mayor Omar Ahmad.
The interviews will be 5 p.m. Wednesday,
June 6 at the San Carlos Library, Second Floor,
610 Elm St.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The motorist arrested for evading police after
driving the wrong way through the presidential
motorcade during Barack Obamas Redwood
City visit last month told authorities he loved
the president, agrees with everything he stands
for and meant him no harm, according to pros-
ecutors.
However, the District Attorneys Ofce did
charge Eddie Darrell Boyce Jr., 49, with one
felony count of eeing a peace ofcer and a
misdemeanor charge of hit and run after crash-
ing his vehicle at the intersection of El Camino
Real and Carlos Avenue.
Boyce, of Mountain View, pleaded not guilty
Friday and was ordered back to court June 25
for a preliminary hearing.
Redwood City police arrested Boyce May 23
after he reportedly drove around a barricade and
down a street sealed off for the motorcades trip
from an Atherton campaign event to the Fox
Theatre on Broadway. The
president was not yet in the
area around 9 p.m. when
Boyce reportedly drove his
sedan around a police car
near Manzanita Street that
was serving as part of the
barricade. The ofcers tried
cutting him off but Boyce
allegedly drove the wrong
way down El Camino Real
and crashed into a curb and
SamTrans sign in the 2600 block.
After being taken into custody, Boyce told
police he knew Obama was going to be at the
Fox Theatre but wasnt attempting to harm him,
said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Boyce reportedly said he didnt hear the
police siren and was on his way to visit a friend.
If convicted, Boyce faces six years in prison
as a second-striker. His prior convictions con-
tributed to his bail being set at $500,000,
Wagstaffe said.
Boyce remains in custody.
Aragon water polo coach arrested
A 25-year-old water polo coach at Aragon
High School in San Mateo was arrested
Friday for sexual assault on a minor and lewd
acts with a minor after a female student
reported he had touched her inappropriately,
according to police.
The coach, Joshua David Tatro, of El
Granada, was taken into custody without inci-
dent. The girl said the inappropriate behavior
took place this past year and police began
their investigation May 14 after school of-
cials notied them. Tatro had worked at the
school for one year, according to police.

OPINION 9
Weekend June 2-3, 2012 THEDAILYJOURNAL
S
an Mateo County voters will
head to the polls June 5. The
Daily Journal is making the
following recommendations for
candidates, propositions and
measures.
National offices
U.S. Senate
Dianne Feinstein (D)
U.S. representative, District 14
Jackie Speier (D)
U.S. representative, District 18
Anna Eshoo (D)
State offices
State Senate, District 13
Jerry Hill (D)
State Assembly, District 22
Kevin Mullin (D)
State Assembly, District 24
Rich Gordon (D)
County offices
(nonpartisan)
Supervisor, District One
Dave Pine
Supervisor, District Four
Warren Slocum
Supervisor, District Five
Adrienne Tissier
State propositions
Proposition 28-YES
Proposition 28 would extend the
amount of time a legislator can
hold office in either the state
Senate or Assembly to 12 years
but reduce the amount of time a
legislator can hold office in both
houses of the state Legislature
from 14 to 12. A yes vote means
state legislators can be more effec-
tive in one house, while not think-
ing about making the jump to
another house. Term limits means
legislators often spend too much
time running for office rather than
conducting the business of the
state. This proposition would
allow a constant tenure in one of
the states legislative bodies.
***
Proposition 29-NO
Proposition 29 imposes an addi-
tional $1 per pack tax on ciga-
rettes and an equivalent tax
increase on other tobacco prod-
ucts. Revenue produced from this
tax would fund research for cancer
and tobacco-related illnesses.
While this proposition is a step up
from other similar proposals that
seek to fund unrelated programs
from cigarette taxes in that the
revenue produced will go toward
disease research, but now is not
the time to create a new govern-
ment program funded with tax
money. In addition, the majority
of cigarette smokers are low-
income and a new tax on that pop-
ulation is an unfair burden.
County measures
Measure T-NO
Measure T imposes a 2.5 percent
business license tax on vehicle
rental businesses operating in
unincorporated areas of the coun-
ty. It requires a majority vote to
pass. This measure is aimed at the
San Francisco International
Airport and seeks $7.75 million a
year for the county government.
Ostensibly, it will tax out-of-town
visitors but could make large
meeting and convention planners
consider taking their business
elsewhere. In addition, air
travel at SFO is
rebounding, but it has
been a long road
since the downturn
after the terrorist
attacks of Sept. 11,
2001. It is too tenuous
a time to create any
disincentive for air travel
to the area and add risk to local
business owners who depend on
tourist revenue.
***
Measure U-YES
Measure U increases the existing
transient occupancy tax from 10
percent to 12 percent in the unin-
corporated areas of the county and
brings it in line with similar taxes
imposed by local cities. It requires
a majority vote to pass. This meas-
ure would mean a modest increase
to the hotel tax in the unincorpo-
rated areas of the county
approximately $1.50 for a $75 a
night visit. It aims to raise approx-
imately $200,000 a year for the
county government.
***
Measure W-YES
Measure W is a $67 parcel tax to
improve education at elementary
and middle schools in the
Redwood City Elementary School
District. It requires
two-thirds vote to pass. In the last
five years, the district has had to
make due with $13 million in cuts
in the last five years and no one
has had a raise. The current stu-
dent to teacher ratio is 30 to 1
a number which most people
agree is too high for effective edu-
cation. The parcel tax will not
cure the districts ills but it
is a modest measure to
assist it in a tight fiduci-
ary time and is certainly
warranted this year.
***
Measure X-NO
Measure X imposes an 8
percent business license tax
on commercial parking facility
operators in unincorporated areas
of the county. It requires majority
vote to pass. This measure would
likely be passed on to customers,
many who live in this county and
use these facilities when taking
flights from SFO elsewhere.
***
Measure Z-YES
Measure Z will mean the continu-
ation of a parcel tax of no higher
than $65 for four more years
County Fire Service Area 1, also
known as the Highlands. It
requires two-thirds vote to pass.
The county currently contracts
with the California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection for
coverage of its unincorporated
areas like the Highlands but voters
there also pay an additional
amount of $65 per parcel to
increase the level of service. The
tax was set at $65 in 1996 and
generates approximately $92,000
annually.

public offering
The Daily Gazette,
Schenectady, N.Y.
W
hen investors, be they
large institutions or
small individuals, put
money into a stock, they have to
accept the possibility that their
investment wont pan out. Thats
probably truer of an initial public
offering for a stock than of one thats
already been trading, because not
only is there more known about the
latter company, its stock has some
kind of track record.
Still, investment bankers that
underwrite IPOs provide their insti-
tutional clients who usually get
rst dibs with information about
the companys performance, so these
preferred clients can make educated
guesses as to the IPOs prospects.
When the IPOs are winners, the
stocks take off like rockets on the
rst day of trading, and the institu-
tions can ip them for handsome
prots, or hang on for bigger long-
term gains.
By now, everyone knows thats not
what happened with the much-antici-
pated, heavily hyped Facebook IPO
May 18. And while many institution-
al investors bought less of the stock
beforehand or unloaded immediately
that day, apparently because theyd
been tipped off by underwriters that
the companys prospects had
dimmed since the initial prospectus
was issued, many retail investors
who didnt get that information
bought more than they should have
and got stuck holding the bag, which
is now worth anywhere from one-
fth to one-third less than they paid
for it. Understandably, theyre
demanding to know what happened,
and have found sympathetic ears in
Washington.
Corporate
tax reform
The Plain Dealer, Cleveland
O
n April 1, when Japan low-
ered its corporate tax rate,
this countrys 35 percent tax
rate became the highest in the indus-
trialized world. Because the U.S. tax
code has so many loopholes or
breaks, the effective rate for corpora-
tions averaged 27.7 percent between
2006 and 2009, according to a
PricewaterhouseCoopers report, but
even that is well above the average for
comparable nations. ...
There actually are glimmers of
bipartisan agreement in Washington
that the United States needs to lower
corporate tax rates and simplify a tax
code that has grown so complex that
American business spends billions of
dollars trying to comply with its pro-
visions or to capitalize on the myr-
iad breaks it contains.
Undoing this labyrinth and over-
coming the objections of its many
defenders will require cooperation
and discipline across party lines, on
both sides of Capitol Hill and at both
ends of Pennsylvania Avenue traits
that are in short supply these days. It
will also require a huge investment of
time. But it is an exercise that
Congress and the White House can no
longer avoid.
The sooner the heavy lifting begins
even if it probably wont bear fruit
until after this falls elections the
sooner American rms can shore up
their competitive position in the world
economy and create more jobs and
wealth in this country.

Leaf-blowing
ordinance health or tax
Editor,
It seems the Burlingame City
Council has no idea of what they
just created. One day a week hun-
dreds of homes, with gardeners,
will be using leaf blowers. They
claim it is for noise and health rea-
sons. However, I wonder if they
even gave a thought to how much
dust and debris will be blown into
the air on the one day a week. This
looks to me like they didnt think
at all about what they were going
create, only the ability to charge $5
per leaf blower and a $25 noise
test. The result of this new ordi-
nance, only going to create more
health problems in the areas being
blown on the same day. This is
dumb ordinance, and one that caus-
es more problems than it solves.
Get real council, and cancel this
ordinance before it starts.

Event center upgrades
Editor,
For decades, it has been obvious
that the San Mateo County Event
Center is a valuable treasure situat-
ed within the city of San Mateo.
Though owned by the county, when
Chris Carpenter took charge several
years ago, he has managed to dress
up and improve the old facilities,
and attract new events (The Maker
Faire), even surviving the disas-
trous economy that crashed back in
2007 and 2008.
The city has never shown much
interest in coordinating with the
event center. First class business
hotels next door to the event center
should have been included in the
plans for Bay Meadows II. Upscale
restaurants and shops next to the
event center would have appealed
to event planners, conference atten-
dees and residents of Bay
Meadows II, as well as patrons of
the mandatory annual county fair.
Silicon Valley industries
(Salesforce.com, Twitter, etc.) are
learning that their young employ-
ees prefer life in San Francisco, or
at least quick and easy access to
and from the city. Full development
around a contemporary, exciting
San Mateo County Event Center
would help to keep that young
demographic group, their employ-
ers and their paychecks, right here
in San Mateo for their meetings,
conferences and entertainment.
It may be too late, but upgrading
the event center should be a priori-
ty, encouraged and supported
enthusiastically by both the city
and by the county.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Alarmed by an ominously weak U.S.
jobs report, investors ran for safety
Friday from new worries about a global
slowdown, sending the Dow Jones
industrial average to its biggest loss
since November.
The nearly 275-point dive wiped out
the last of the indexs gains for the year.
Across Wall Street, fearful investors
snapped up safer investments such as
bonds, dragging the yield on the bench-
mark 10-year Treasury note to a record
low. Gold spiked $50 an ounce, and oil
fell to its lowest since October.
The big worry now is that this eco-
nomic slowdown is widening and accel-
erating, said Sam Stovall, chief equity
strategist at S&P Capital IQ, a market
research rm.
The Standard & Poors 500 index and
Nasdaq composite index both fell more
than 2 percent. The Nasdaq has dropped
more than 10 percent since its peak
what traders call a market correction.
And the S&P 500 is just a point above
correction territory.
American employers added just
69,000 jobs in May, the fewest in a year,
and the unemployment rate increased to
8.2 percent from 8.1 percent.
Economists had forecast a gain of
158,000 jobs.
The report, considered the most
important economic indicator each
month, also said that hiring in March and
April was considerably weaker than
originally thought.
Earlier data showed weak economic
conditions in Europe and Asia, too.
Unemployment in the 17 countries that
use the euro currency stayed at a record-
high 11 percent in April, and unemploy-
ment spiked to almost 25 percent in
Spain.
There were signs that growth in China,
which helped sustain the global econo-
my through the recession, is slowing sig-
nicantly. Chinas manufacturing sector
weakened in May, according to surveys
released Friday.
The Dow closed down 274.88 points,
or 2.2 percent, at 12,118.57. The Dow is
off 0.8 percent for the year; two months
ago, it was up more than 8 percent for
the year.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
32.29 points, or 2.5 percent, to 1,278.04.
The Nasdaq dropped 79.86, or 2.8 per-
cent, to 2,747.48. Both indexes are still
up for the year 1.6 percent for the
S&P 500 and 5.5 percent for the Nasdaq.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year
U.S. Treasury note briey fell to 1.44
percent, the lowest on record.

NEW YORK Groupons stock tum-
bled Friday as insiders sold their shares
after a post-IPO prohibition was lifted.
Employees and other insiders are
required to wait before selling their
stock following a companys initial pub-
lic offering. Groupons lock-up period
expired on Friday. The company went
public on Nov. 4.
Shares of Groupon Inc. fell 95 cents,
or 8.9 percent, to close at $9.69 Friday.
Earlier, the stock was trading as low as
$9.53. Thats the lowest since its IPO,
which priced at $20.
Groupon makes money by selling
online deals for spas, restaurants and
weekend getaways. Though it recently
reported a good quarter, its stock has
been battered due to a series of missteps
with its nances.
In March, the Chicago-based company
restated its quarterly nancial results,
explaining that it lost more than it ini-
tially reported because it had to pay out
more refunds than expected. In May, it
replaced two of its board members to
add executives with more accounting
experience.
Friday was a bad day for the overall
stock market, too. A closely watched
report showed that the U.S. economy
added far fewer jobs than expected last
month.
Other social media company stocks
declined as well.
Shares of Facebook Inc. dropped
$1.88, or 6.4 percent, to close at $27.72.
Thats down 27 percent from its IPO
price of $38.
Shares of online game maker Zynga
Inc. slid 25 cents, or 4 percent, to $6.01.
LinkedIn Corp., the online social net-
work for professionals, fell $4.59, or 4.8
percent, to $91.51.
Online reviews site Yelp Inc., mean-
while, fell $1.02, or 6.1 percent, to
$15.69.
Groupon stock tumbles

DETROIT Easier credit, hot new
cars and falling gas prices kept
Americans buying vehicles at a strong
pace in May despite bad economic news.
May sales totaled 1.3 million cars and
trucks, up 26 percent from the same
month a year earlier. It was the best May
for the industry since 2008.
The good results surprised some ana-
lysts, since car sales usually hew closely to
the performance of the stock market and to
consumer condence numbers. In May,
condence was wobbly and the stock mar-
ket had its worst month in two years.
We should have had a disastrous new
vehicle sales month, but consumers are
still interested in the new products, said
Jesse Toprak, vice president of market
intelligence for the car buying site
TrueCar.com. This was an anomaly.
Toprak thinks June sales will stumble
as people weigh troubling headlines, like
Fridays report that U.S. unemployment
rose for the rst time in 11 months. He
expects sales to pick up at the end of the
year as the economy improves and the
presidential election ends political
uncertainty.
But others dont think the disap-
pointing news will derail the indus-
trys recovery.
I dont believe that the employment
data in and of itself will have an impact,
said Ken Czubay, Fords U.S. sales
chief. Czubay said dealer trafc was
strong in May, particularly over
Memorial Day weekend.
Toyota led sales increases with an 87
percent rise from a year earlier, while
Honda saw a 48-percent jump. In May
2011, both companies ran short of cars
and trucks after the earthquake in Japan
crippled their factories. But their show-
rooms are full again, and theyre rapidly
gaining back the market share that they
lost to competitors such as Hyundai and
GM.
New models keep U.S. auto sales solid

NEW YORK Facebook is letting its
nearly 1 billion users vote on changes to
its privacy policy.
The previously announced changes
include new sections explaining how it
uses peoples information. The updates
also reect recently added features such as
a new prole format called Timeline.
The new policy also opens up the possi-
bility for Facebook to start showing peo-
ple ads on outside websites, targeting the
pitches to interests and hobbies that users
express on Facebook.
The voting period starts Friday and runs
through next week. The company had
announced the changes in May, a week
before its initial public offering of stock.
Facebooks highly anticipated IPO landed
with a thud, closing just 23 cents above its
$38 offering price on its rst trading day.
The stock has declined another 26 percent
in the two weeks since then.
This is the second time Facebook Inc. is
letting users vote on policy changes. The
rst time was in 2009 when Facebook was
a much smaller, privately held company
with fewer than 200 million users.
It may be the last time, though.
Thirty percent of Facebooks 900 mil-
lion users, or 270 million people, have to
vote on the changes for or against to
have the process be binding. Otherwise,
Facebook considers the vote advisory.
That will most likely be the case.
Facebooks experiment in democracy
hasnt panned out as expected. While
thousands of people have left comments
on Facebooks proposed changes, our
original intent was to get high-quality,
and not high-quantity comments, said
Erin Egan, Facebooks chief privacy of-
cer of policy.

If anyone if looking for a 2003 Chrysler
Minivan in great condition, Tony Cooper Sr.
isnt selling.
With his son Tony Jr. playing ball at
Pepperdine this season, Tony Sr. needed a
mode of transportation. After renting cars
every other weekend to make the trip last year,
Cooper invested in a used minivan with
12,500 miles on it prior to the 2012 season.
He has since added nearly 25,000 miles to the
speedometer.
All the miles were accrued commuting
between Malibu and his San Carlos home,
with the exception of the Town & Countrys
maiden voyage to Las Vegas.
That wasnt a big surprise to me by any
means, Tony Jr. said. Whether or not he got
the van, I knew he was going to make it down
to watch my games.
Pepperdine has made the mileage worth
while. The Waves are amid a memorable sea-
son, posting their best regular-season record
since 2008. Last week, they went down to the
wire to win the West Coast Conference title
Pepperdines rst since 2006 and in doing
so advanced to regional postseason play this
weekend at Stanfords Sunken Diamond.
With a 6-2 win Friday over Michigan State,
Pepperdine advances through the winners
bracket of the round-robin tourney to play
Stanford Saturday at 6 p.m.
Tony Sr. was of course in one of the best
seat in the house Friday. After carefully doing
the math, he estimated hes missed just six
midweek games this season. Thats a relative-
ly high number, considering he has missed
hardly any of Tony Jr.s games dating back to
little league.
Since Tony Jr. started playing for the
Central Middle School Tee Ball League when
he was 4, Tony Sr. coached his teams every
step of the way, with outstanding results.
They won their rst championship with the
San Carlos Farm League Pirates when Tony
Jr. was 8. Soon thereafter, Tony Sr. headed up
the San Carlos District 52 All-Stars for three
seasons, before moving up to Pony League
13-14 year-olds for two summers. Tony Sr.
then took over the San Carlos Joe DiMaggio
team for legendary coach Bud Papadakis, cul-

Off the football eld, former College of San
Mateo superstar Eddie Elder has never met an
obstacle he couldnt overcome.
Local sports fans remember Elder for his
All-American 2009 campaign where he was a
key cog in CSMs march to the Northern
California title.
Following a successful run at Arizona State
University, Elder nds himself in a familiar
state as he strives toward his goal of one day
becoming an NFL player.
I dont mind not being drafted, Elder said
as he currently partakes with the Arizona
Cardinals in off-season Organized Team
Activities or, OTAs in a try-out kind of role.
There are plenty of players out there that
have been successful that werent drafted. Ive
always been an underdog, so its really noth-
ing new. So, Im just going to do my best to
achieve those things.
When the NFL draft rolled around, Elder
was left without a team and instead accepted
an invitation to Arizonas mini-camp where
hes ghting day to day for a spot on the train-
ing camp roster and hopefully on an NFL
sideline come the 2012-2013 season.
The pressure is on every day, but I dont
think about it, Elder said. My family drives
me. They support me, no matter what.
Really, its a dream come true. Its some-
thing Ive always wanted since I was a little
kid. Of course, I would have liked to have
gone a different direction and got drafted. But,
I just have to deal with my situation and go
from there.
Elder played in all 25 games with 20 starts
in two seasons at Arizona State and totaled
130 tackles, three interceptions, seven passes
defended, one sack and a forced fumble.
Before then, his career and story as a
Bulldog was legendary. From not having the
academics to attend Oregon, to stepping onto
a football eld at CSM and playing over 20
games at safety, to being one of the most heav-
ily recruited players in the nation. Elder left
CSM in 2010 with the school record for inter-
ceptions (13) and the winner of the NorCal
Defensive Player of the Year in 2009, and a
NorCal championship in the same year.
Now, after receiving his bachelors degree in
Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis on
Sociology and Communications, Elder, who
admitted to a bit of adjustment period on and
off the eld once he got to ASU, looks to tack-
le his biggest dream yet.
They were just happy for me, Elder said
of his support team, because Ive accom-
plished things that family hadnt I was the
rst in my family to graduate.
Not only family, but friends, people at my
old high school and at my old JUCO. Im just
trying to set the bar and let people know that

NEW YORK For more than 50 years, the
New York Mets chased that elusive no-hitter.
Johan Santana nally nished the job.
Santana pitched the rst
no-hitter in team history,
helped by an umpires
missed call and an out-
standing catch in left eld
in an 8-0 victory over the
St. Louis Cardinals on
Friday night.
After a string of close
calls over the last five
decades, Santana went all
the way in the Mets
8,020th game.
Finally, the rst one, he said. That is the
greatest feeling ever.
He needed a couple of key assists to pull it
off.
Carlos Beltran, back at Citi Field for the
rst time since the Mets traded him last July,
hit a line drive over third base in the sixth
inning that hit the foul line and should have
been called fair. But third base umpire Adrian
Johnson ruled it foul and the no-hitter was
intact even though a replay clearly showed
a mark where the ball landed on the chalk line.
I saw the ball hitting outside the line, just
foul, Johnson told a pool reporter.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Felipe
Paulino kept the scufing Athletics at
bay for six innings Friday night, and the
Kansas City Royals bullpen handled the
rest in a 2-0 victory that gave Oakland its
season-worst ninth straight loss.
Yuniesky Betancourt came off the dis-
abled list to provide an RBI double in
the rst, and Mike Moustakas added an
RBI blooper to left later in the inning,
helping Kansas City win for only the
sixth time in 23 games at Kauffman
Stadium this season.
Paulino (3-1) has emerged as the ace
of the Royals haphazard starting rota-
tion, holding the opposition off the
scoreboard through six innings for the
fourth time in six starts.
He allowed three hits against Oakland
while striking out ve and walking three.
Both of the Royals runs were charged
to Bartolo Colon (4-6), who recovered
from a sloppy start to last seven innings
an encouraging outing after going 1-
3 with a 7.92 ERA in May.
Jonathan Broxton worked a perfect
ninth for his 12th save.
The As have been shut out six times in
their last 16 games, and have been
outscored 39-12 during their current los-
ing streak. They came into the night
ranked last in the majors in batting aver-
age (.210) and slugging percentage
(.338), and second-to-last in on-base
percentage and runs.
The Royals nearly added to their rst-
inning cushion, but Alcides Escobar
grounded out to leave two runners
aboard in the rst. Kansas City also left
a runner in scoring position in the sec-
ond inning before failing twice to plate a
run with the bases loaded in the third.
Colon was brilliant over the next four
innings, allowing only a two-out single
by Escobar in the sixth and a leadoff sin-
gle by Humberto Quintero in the sev-
enth.
The problem for Oakland was that
Paulino was just as good.
The right-hander wasnt particularly
efcient, burning through 94 pitches in
six innings, yet he managed to keep a
struggling Oakland lineup off balance all
night.

BOSTON Kevin Garnett had 24 points and 11 rebounds
and Rajon Rondo scored 21 points with 10 assists to lead the
Boston Celtics to a 101-91 victory over the Heat in Game 3 of
the Eastern Conference nals on Friday night, cutting Miamis
lead in the series to 2-1.
Game 4 is Sunday night in Boston.
Paul Pierce scored 23 points for Boston.
LeBron James scored 34 points, but the NBA MVP and the
rest of the Heat went cold during a 7-minute stretch at the end
of the rst quarter and the beginning of the second, when
Boston outscored them 15-0 to turn a six-point decit into a
nine-point lead.
James scored 16 points in the rst quarter but had just four
points with one rebound and one assist in the fourth, when
Miami cut a 24-point decit to eight. Mike Miller hit consecu-
tive 3-pointers during an 11-0 run that cut the decit to 95-87.
Miami still trailed by eight points, with the ball, when
Dwyane Wade missed and Ray Allen grabbed the rebound,
sending Rondo on a fast break that made it a 99-89 with 99
seconds to play. James threw the ball away underneath, then
missed a 3-point attempt the next time down one of only
four shots he took in the fourth quarter.

SAN FRANCISCO Melky
Cabrera remained the hottest hitter in
the National League, Madison
Bumgarner picked up his rst win in
nearly four weeks and the San Francisco
Giants beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on
Friday night.
Cabrera had two hits to raise his aver-
age to .376, tying him with Paul
Konerko of the Chicago White Sox for
the highest mark in the majors. That
comes on the heels of his outstanding
May when he tied a San Francisco fran-
chise record with 51 hits.
Ryan Theriot added three hits and
scored twice while Buster Posey had two
RBIs to give the Giants their fourth win
in ve games on the current homestand.
Alfonso Soriano hit a three-run home
run in the ninth for Chicago, but the
Cubs fell short and lost for the 15th time
in their last 20 games.
Coming off one of his worst starts of
the season, Bumgarner looked strong
after overcoming some early struggles.
He retired 17 of 20 batters during one
stretch and carried a shutout into the
ninth before tiring.
Closer Santiago Casilla nearly let it
slip away.
After Bumgarner gave up back-to-
back singles to Starlin Castro and Joe
Mather to open the inning, Casilla gave
up Sorianos home run that cut San
Franciscos lead to 4-3.
Casilla retired Reed Johnson on a
comebacker but allowed a double to Jeff
Baker and an ineld single to Darwin
Barney. Casilla then left the game after
appearing to get hurt while pitching to
Barney.
Javier Lopez relieved Casilla and
recorded the nal two outs for his rst
save of the season.

DUBLIN, Ohio That other
Rory Rory Sabbatini played
his best golf in the worst weather
Friday at the Memorial and made a
surprising appearance atop the
leaderboard. Right behind him was
a Tiger Woods that looked all too
familiar.
Sabbatini played bogey-free over
his nal 12 holes, and despite miss-
ing a 5-foot birdie putt on the 18th
hole, put together a 3-under 69 in
the cool, blustery conditions at
Muireld Village to take a one-shot
lead going into the weekend.
Woods looked strong for the sec-
ond straight day, though he also had
another double bogey that slowed
his progress. What pleased him was
controlling his ball in the wind for
plenty of birdie chances that led to a
69.
I hit the ball well all day, and it
was a day that I needed to, Woods
said. The wind
was blowing out
there, swirling in
those trees, and
it was just a
tough day.
It was plenty
tough for Rory
McIlroy.
The U.S.
Open champion,
who returned to No. 1 in the world
only four weeks ago, missed the cut
in his third straight tournament.
McIlroy was in good shape until a
shot just outside a creek hit the bank
and went backward into the water,
leading to the rst of two double
bogeys on the back nine. He shot 79
and missed the cut by three shots.
Im denitely hitting the ball
better than I did last week, so I can
see an improvement there, he said.
But Ive still got a long way to go.
It was tough for everyone on a
day that began with a two-hour rain
delay in the morning. That softened
the course, but the wind featured
gusts strong enough that it was dif-
cult to attack the pins. It showed in
the scores.
Sabbatini was at 6-under 138, the
highest score to lead the Memorial
in 22 years.
We basically just kept the ball in
play all day, and thats the challenge
out there, Sabbatini said. And we
did that very well, and Im very,
very excited, very content with the
way that things went.
Woods has 72 wins on the PGA
Tour, one away from tying Jack
Nicklaus for second on the career
list. What better place to catch him
than on the course Jack built, though
Woods wasnt ready to entertain
such thoughts only halfway through
the tournament.
And while he commands attention
at Muireld Village a four-time
champion who has shot par or better
in 22 of his last 23 rounds on this
course there were plenty of pos-
sibilities going into the weekend.

PARIS If it seems Roger
Federer breaks one record or anoth-
er every time he wins a match, thats
because he does these days.
Then again, good as Federer is, he
cant top this: His next opponent at
the French Open, Belgiums David
Gofn, is unbeaten in Grand Slam
main-draw matches. (OK, so the
kids only 3-0, but still.)
Yes, before Federer can take on
Novak Djokovic or Rafael Nadal at
Roland Garros this year, hell need
to defeat Gofn, the rst lucky
loser a player beaten in qualify-
ing who sneaks into the eld via
someones withdrawal to reach
the fourth round at any Grand Slam
tournament in
17 years, and
only the seventh
to make it that
far.
Now Im
playing against
Roger, the
109t h- r anked
Gofn said after
beating Lukasz
Kubot of Poland 7-6 (4), 7-5, 6-1 on
Friday, and I cant believe it.
A fresh-faced 21-year-old whose
voice was barely a whisper and
whose hands fidgeted during an
extended interview session with
reporters, the slender, 5-foot-11
Goffin matter-of-factly discussed
displaying photos and posters of 16-
time Grand Slam champion Federer
in his bedroom as a child.
Since I was little, Ive watched
Roger play on TV. To me, he plays
almost perfect tennis. His technique
is perfect. I also like him at the
human level; hes a very good per-
son on and off the court, said
Gofn, who was able to make his
Grand Slam debut because Frances
Gael Monls pulled out with a knee
injury. I expect a very tough match
on Sunday, of course. I dont really
know how Ill prepare for it, but Ill
try to have fun.
Informed that his next opponent is
an unabashed fan, Federer grinned
and replied, Not the rst time it
happens.
Probably so. After all, the 30-year-
old Federer has been winning major
titles since 2003, when Gofn was
12. Hes been winning Grand Slam
matches since 2000, and Fridays 6-
3, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5 victory over Nicolas
Mahut was Federers 235th, adding
to his Open era record.
Federer happened to catch a bit of
Goffins second-round matchup
against Arnaud Clement, the 2001
Australian Open runner-up who said
this would be his nal French Open.
The condensed scouting report?
Nice game. Smooth ball-striker.
And talented, obviously, Federer
said. Otherwise, he wouldnt be
coming that far in this tournament.
That match against Clement went
ve sets, as did Gofns rst-round
victory over 23rd-seeded Radek
Stepanek the only ve-setters of
his career. Against Kubot at inti-
mate, 1,559-seat Court 7, Gofn was
raucously cheered by ag-waving,
chorus-singing supporters who
made the short trip from Belgium.
It gave me wings, Gofn said. I
felt as if I was playing at home.
Coincidentally, the last lucky
loser to make it this far at a major
tournament was also Belgian, Dick
Norman, who did it at Wimbledon in
1995.
Now comes by far the toughest
test of Gofns young career.
Or, looked at another way, a
bonus, as he put it: the thrill of
standing across the net from his
favorite player and seeing how he
stacks up.
Asked whether he believes he can
defeat Federer, Gofn said, If I say
yes, it might sound pretentious. And
if I say no, it will look like a lack of
ambition. Well see. Ill prepare like
I do for other matches. Ill try to go
for my shots and have fun on a big
court.

they can do whatever they put their mind to.
As always when the game progresses up the
levels of play, players must do their best to
keep up in a sink-or-swim world of the NFL.
Not only the speed of the game, but the
speed of the calls, the play calls, Elder said of
some of the challenges. You have to see a
formation, identify it and make the checks
right away because theyre going to snap the
ball whether youre ready or not.
Scouts fall in love with size, but at the
same time, this is football. We play the sport

a chance and Im going to take advantage of
it.

live out his dream.
Honestly, theres nothing like the Bulldog

and for anyone who wants to be a Bulldog.
Its family over there. Everyone is close. Its a

NEWARK, N.J. Neither the New Jersey
Devils nor the Los Angeles Kings seem to be
too concerned about who is on the ice against
high-powered Devils forward Ilya
Kovalchuk.
Kovalchuk was held to one fruitless shot in
New Jerseys 2-1 overtime loss to Los
Angeles on Wednesday night in the opener of
the Stanley Cup nals.
Early on in the game, Kovalchuk was
matched up against Kings defensemen Willie
Mitchell and Slava Voynov. As the game pro-
gressed, the tandem Kovalchuk faced was
Drew Doughty and Rob Scuderi.
Devils coach Peter DeBoer said he isnt
going into Game 2 looking to avoid either of
those pairs.
We played (Dan) Girardi and (Ryan)
McDonagh against the Rangers. Same thing,
DeBoer said Friday of the Eastern Conference
nals. If theyre going to match those guys
up in order to get him away, were going to
have to get away from a four-line game, which
has been another strength. If theyre matching
up against Kovalchuk, then theyre not match-
ing up against (Zach) Parise or other guys.
The matchup game isnt something that
Im interested in or worried about. For me, it
isnt relevant.
Kings coach Darryl Sutter echoed that sen-
timent. The Devils will have the advantage in
Game 2 as they have the last change as the
home team. That will shift to the Kings when
the series moves to Los Angeles for Games 3
and 4 next week.
Doesnt really matter, Sutter said. I think
its based on ice time, not so much ours. Hes
out there a lot. If you start chasing a matchup
during the game, thats kind of a dinosaur. You
start chasing it, pretty soon youre just chasing
the puck.
You get guys tired or out of position. Rob
Scuderi can handle that just as well as Willie
Mitchell can. Slava and Drew, theyre right-
handed guys that can skate and make plays.
Theres not a big difference.
The ultimate goal is to nd a way to keep
Kovalchuk in check.
Hes got a lot of skill and hes able to just
hold the puck for that extra second to get him
into position to take a shot, which is probably
his best asset, Scuderi said. Its something
weve tried to focus on. You just dont want to
let a guy like that off the leash because he can
really hurt you.
Forget the matches: Kovalchuk faces different D

UCLA: Football scholarship
wont affect need-based awards
LOS ANGELES Justin Combs, the 18-year-old son of
hip-hop mogul Sean Diddy Combs, will attend UCLA on a
$54,000 football scholarship.
It is one of 285 athletic scholarships the university hands out
every year.
It comes at a time when student fees are rising and a year
after the university had to use more than $2 million in student
fees to cover an athletic department funding gap.
Money for Combs scholarship will not affect need-based
scholarships awarded by the university, UCLA spokesman
Ricardo Vazquez told the Los Angeles Times.
There is a big separation between nancial aid based on
need and how thats funded and how athletic scholarships are
funded and awarded to students, he said, noting that athletic
scholarships come from athletic department ticket sales, cor-
porate partnerships, media contracts and private donations.
The newspaper said Justin Combs defended taking the schol-
arship on Twitter: Regardless what the circumstances are, I
put that work in!!!! ... PERIOD.
The senior Combs is worth an estimated $475 million and
gave his son a $360,000 Maybach car for his 16th birthday, the
Times said.
Justin Combs, a 5-foot-9, 170-pound defensive back, gradu-
ated from New Rochelle Iona Prep in New York with a 3.75
grade point average. He also had scholarship offers from
Illinois, Virginia and Wyoming.
If needy students are unaffected, there is no problem, said
Emily Resnick, outgoing president of UCLAs Undergraduate
Students Association. If his athletic abilities deserve it, then
more power to him.
Joelle Gamble, who will graduate from the university in a
few weeks, said the scholarship could be considered an invest-
ment since UCLA would probably benet by the celebrity
Combs could bring to the school.
Its how college athletics works. This is how were going to
get money, she said.

Diamond Jubilee: Britain marks queens reign
LONDON The patriotic bunting is ready, the golden car-
riage on standby, the boats freshly painted, the shops lled
with royal souvenirs.
The normal ebb and ow of British life
gives way in the next four days to a series
of street parties, otillas, outdoor concerts
and nally the appearance of an elderly
great-grandmother on her balcony to wave
to her subjects.
Britain is marking Queen Elizabeth IIs
60 years on the throne with a four-day hol-
iday weekend of ceremony, symbolism and
street parties.
The queen will celebrate Saturday at the
Epsom Derby, a highlight of the horseracing calendar, and on
Sunday she will lead a 1,000-boat otilla on the River Thames.
Mondays festivities include a pop concert in front of
Buckingham Palace with Paul McCartney and Elton John, and
festivities climax Tuesday with a religious service, a proces-
sion through the streets of London and the royal familys
appearance on the palace balcony.
Clash kills Palestinian militant, Israeli soldier
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip A gunbattle along Israels bor-
der with the Gaza Strip on Friday killed a Palestinian militant
and an Israeli soldier, the military said, in the latest are-up
along the volatile frontier.
The Israeli military said the Palestinian militant cut through
the border fence separating Hamas-run Gaza from southern
Israel and opened re on troops, killing one soldier. Israeli
forces killed the militant in the ensuing shootout, said Col. Tal
Hermoni.
The border has been mostly calm since the last escalation in
March, but shootouts such as Fridays and other violence raise
concerns of a new are-up between Israel and Gaza-based mil-
itants.

a string of horric massacres.
Syrias most important ally and protector, Russia, voted
against the measure by the U.N. Human Rights Council in

Later Friday, speaking to donors at a

a signicant crisis in part because they
havent taken as many of the decisive
steps as were needed to deal with the chal-

means its harder for our exports. All this

more than 4 million jobs over the past 27
months, but, he added, as we learned in
todays jobs report, were still not creating
them as fast as we want.
Still, he said, we will come back
stronger; we do have better days ahead.
The economy, struggling to recover
from the worst recession since the Great
Depression, has had to fend off a number
of external pressures, from high oil prices
to natural disasters and, now, economic
troubles in Europe and a weakening econ-
omy in China.
The unemployment numbers, while
imprecise and typically a lagging indica-
tor of economic performance, are never-
theless an undeniable marker of the
human cost of a weak economy.
Mays 69,000 new jobs and downward
adjustments for March and April mean the
economy has averaged just 73,000 jobs a
month over the past two months. Thats
half of whats needed simply to keep up
with population growth and is a dramatic
drop from the 226,000 jobs created per
month in the January-March quarter.
Mays 8.2 percent jobless rate, the rst
increase in 11 months, reected more peo-
ple coming back into the job force, but
that was a thin silver-lining to an other-
wise discouraging report.
No president since the Great
Depression has sought re-election with
unemployment as high as that, and past
incumbents have lost when the rate was
on the rise.
The economy is central to each candi-
dates argument Obama wants it to be
a choice between his and Romneys eco-
nomic visions; Romney wants it to be ref-
erendum on Obamas economic policies.
Obama is counting on an unemploy-
ment trajectory that has fallen from a high
of 10 percent in October 2009. The presi-
dent likes to point to the 3.8 million jobs
created since he became president, though
12.5 million people remain unemployed.
He highlights the resurgence of the auto
industry following government bailouts of
Chrysler and General Motors.

Army adds charges
against Afghan shooting suspect
SEATTLE The Army dropped a murder charge, but added
others, including steroid use, against a soldier accused in a
deadly shooting rampage in Afghanistan,
his lawyer said Friday.
Staff Sgt. Robert Bales is now accused of
gunning down 16 civilians in a pre-dawn
raid on two Afghan villages in March.
Initial reports pinned the number of dead at
16, but the Army put the gure at 17 when
it rst charged Bales.
Due to discrepancies in the names on
lists of the victims, ofcials had apparently
counted one of them twice, but are now
certain there were 16 killed, said Lt. Col. Gary Dangereld, a
spokesman for Joint Base Lewis-McChord south of Seattle,
where Bales is based.
His attorney, Emma Scanlan, said there was nothing surpris-
ing in the new charges, which also accuse Bales of assaulting
an unidentied Afghan male with his hands and knees the
month before the shooting.
Were looking forward to putting on a defense and seeing
what they can prove, she said. The Army dropped off 5,000
pages of discovery materials at the defense teams ofce on
Friday, she said.
Zimmerman back to jail; judge says he lied
SANFORD, Fla. Trayvon Martins shooter must return to
jail, a judge ordered Friday in a strongly worded ruling that
said George Zimmerman and his wife lied
to the court about their nances to obtain
bond in a case that hinges on jurors believ-
ing his account of what happened the night
the teen was killed.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to
second-degree murder for the February
shooting. The neighborhood watch volun-
teer says he shot Martin in self-defense
because the unarmed 17-year-old was beat-
ing him up after confronting Zimmerman
about following him in a gated community
outside Orlando. Zimmerman was arrested 44 days after the
killing, and during a bond hearing in April, his wife, Shellie,
testied that the couple had limited funds available.

E
ver since I graduated from Aragon
High School, I have often oated in
my head the question of what my
high school experience has meant to me. I
have heard plenty of
aphorisms, quotations
and pieces of advice.
But, as is the nature of
language, no one phrase
or speech quite accurate-
ly describes the emotions
associated with graduat-
ing. As futile as it may
seem to write about grad-
uation, I will attempt to collect my gradua-
tion ruminations here.
To some of my friends, graduation is a
cherished event the ceremony which rec-
ognizes the accomplishment of success
through high school. To some of my friends,
graduation is merely an odd ritual that socie-
ty has created complete with the oddest
shaped clothing imaginable.
Honestly, as I stepped off of Aragons
graduation stage, I couldnt help but wonder
what the entire ceremony meant. Following
the recessional, I, along with the rest of my
graduation class, was swarmed by mobs of
parents armed with cameras and owers.
What would follow was a 30-minute frenzy
of picture taking, hand shaking and congratu-
lations giving. Ironically, I remember turning
to my best friend asking, So is this what my
four years of high schools have amounted
to?
Of course, I had already known the answer
to this question: Of course not. But simply
knowing that my high school experience did
not amount to a photo opportunity yielded
few answers as to what my high school expe-
rience did mean to me.
The photos were nice and Im sure Ill be
glad to have taken them years later in my
life; however, I felt the photos and the diplo-
ma were in many ways insignicant. A still-
frame shot and certication of graduation
recorded just mere moments of high school.
And yet at the same time, I realize why
taking photos was so compelling. I know
many of my memories will be lost with time.
Much of what has not been written down in
yearbooks or saved through photography will
be forgotten.
What has high school been to me then? To
me, high school, just like elementary school
and middle school and my years before
schooling, has been an experience of self-dis-
covery. Perhaps some friends will be lost.
Perhaps some memories will be forgotten.
But, regardless of what is lost in the future, I
myself will continue to carry on as an indi-
vidual changed because of high school.
In past years, graduation had always been a
sad experience for me. It was a grand good-
bye to leaving seniors. I could never quite
understand why every year the graduates

LOS ANGELES Its a
sink or swim moment for the
lmmakers behind the sequel
to Piranha 3D.
Combining a silly, self-
aware sensibility with over-
the-top gore, the original
comedic horror lm starring
the likes of Richard Dreyfuss,
Christopher Lloyd and
Elizabeth Shue as townsfolk
ghting off prehistoric esh-
eating sh became a just-add-
water cult hit when it was
released two summers ago
opposite more mature fare
such as The Expendables
and Eat Pray Love.
Dimension Films, the divi-
sion of the Weinstein Co. that
produces horror and sci-fi
fare, quickly christened a
sequel with the tongue-in-
cheek title Piranha 3DD
yes, thats pronounced dou-
ble-D in hopes of riding
the same wave of success as
Piranha 3D, which report-
edly cost just $24 million to
make but reeled in more than
$83 million worldwide.
The original also chomped
off an unexpected amount of
guilty-pleasure acclaim, not
just from horror blogs, but
from actual mainstream crit-
ics. Piranha 3D was called
bloody watchable trash by

seemed so happy and excited while I felt so
compelled to cry. This year, however, at
graduation, I could not cry. I could not help
but feel an impending readiness. I felt ready
to take on whatever will come into my life in
the future.
And thus, as customary, I must appropriate
some much deserved gratitude to the com-
munity which I will be leaving in the fall.
Thank you to San Mateo County for provid-
ing a wonderful place to life. Thank you to
Aragons faculty, my internship mentors and
my other various teachers for inspiring me to
follow my academic passions regardless of
the challenges I may face. Thank you to my
family for keeping me in check at all steps
along the way. And thank you to my friends
and fellow graduates without all of the
uniqueness and energy I have been surround-
ed by, I could have never become uniquely
ready for my future.

STUDENT
Lemire of the Associated Press.
I dont even know if we can top it, lament-
ed sequel director John Gulager, whose horror
lm Feast was the subject of the Bravo
moviemaking documentary series Project
Greenlight in 2005. I dont think that was
totally our goal. We just wanted to be differ-
ent. They had Academy Award-winning actors
and stuff. We just wanted to have our own sep-
arate story.
Curiously, Dimension isnt screening
Piranha 3DD in advance for critics, not nec-
essarily a very positive indicator of a lms
quality.
Gulager and his Feast screenwriters dove
into the 3DD project after Alexandre Aja,
the previous lms director, opted to work on
new material. Set after that rst school of pira-
nha devoured a lake of horny and chesty
spring breakers, Piranha 3DD nds the evil
critters making their way underground and
through plumbing toward a tawdry waterpark
called Big Wet.
We wanted to double everything, boasted
Piranha 3DD screenwriter Marcus Dunstan.
If the rst one had laughs, we wanted to dou-
ble the laughs. If the rst one had violence, we
wanted to double the violence. If the rst one
had offensive elements, well, actually, we
wanted to triple the offensive elements. That
was always the DNA of this movie.
The lm, which opens Friday in theaters
and through on-demand video services, was
originally scheduled to debut last October, but
Gulager said production was delayed so the
cast and crew could lm in warmer weather at
the Jungle Rapids waterpark in Wilmington,
N.C. The lmmakers admit that the premise is
outlandish but the setting was too fun to dis-
miss.
Though the previous Piranha, an overhaul
of the 1978 movie produced by B-movie king
Roger Corman, caught audiences attention, it
wasnt as successful as other lms that year
that more closely followed horror trends, like
faithfully remaking a classic (A Nightmare
on Elm Street), employing amateur trickery
(Paranormal Activity 2) or torturing victims
(Saw 3D).
There are always patterns and fads in hor-
ror, said Piranha 3DD screenwriter Patrick
Melton. Right now the found footage and
ghost stories are doing really well. Thats in.
You can only have three or four successful
movies in that subgenre before Hollywood
does it to death, so having little bumps in the
road along the way like Piranha keeps it
fun.
If moviegoers and critics think the latest
Piranha is as much fun as the rst one,
another attack could be around the corner.
Matthew Stein, the lms executive producer
who formerly worked as a production execu-
tive at Dimension Films, believes the sequels
waterpark setting raises the drama and leaves
plenty of space for the piranha to prowl in the
future.
If the studio were to call me and greenlight
Piranha 3DDD or Piranha 4D or Piranha
XL or whatever they wanted to call it, Im
there, said Stein. I think that would be a lot
of fun. Ultimately, I think it would be a cre-
ative and economic decision. I can tell you
that there are a lot of ideas oating around
about the mythology of our piranha.

PIRANHA
By Christy Lemire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES The sequel Piranha
3DD comes out this week but it wasnt
shown to critics before opening day which
is a bummer, because the original Piranha
3D from 2010 was just a shamelessly gim-
micky blast.
But as you know, we like to be glass-half-
full around here. And speaking of liquids,
were using the opportunity to focus on ve
great lms set on the water an ocean, lake,
river, whatever. Jaws denitely would have
made the cut if I hadnt used it for last weeks
list about ultimate summer movies. And the
subject is so huge, youll notice I didnt even
get to any Busby Berkeley productions or
anything with the word Gidget in the title.
Still, youve got to dive in somewhere ...
The African Queen (1952):
Humphrey Bogart won his one and only
Oscar, if you can believe that, for his indelible
portrayal of Charlie Allnut, the drunk, coarse
captain of a rickety steamer whos stuck on a
river with Katharine Hepburns prim, rigid
missionary, Rose Sayer, during World War I.
Theyre both playing types but they play them
with great timing and zest. Snappy banter and
eventually, improbably love ensue. The
lming of John Hustons comic adventure,
which took place on location in Africa, was
famously difcult but the results are lush and
vivid. You can feel the heat and the grime and
the muck while youre watching it.
Apocalypse Now (1979):
Speaking of difcult shoots, this one was so
legendary for nearly destroying Francis Ford
Coppola that theres an entirely separate doc-
umentary (Hearts of Darkness: A
Filmmakers Apocalypse) detailing the trou-
bles. Still, the results are legendary in their
own right. Its hard to think of the phrase
going upriver without thinking of Martin
Sheens long, harrowing trek to track down
and terminate with extreme prejudice
Marlon Brandos rebellious and revered Col.
Kurtz in the Cambodian jungle. Here, the
water leads Sheens Willard and his crew
toward a territory so frightening, it must be
hell itself. But as Robert Duvalls surng Lt.
Col. Kilgore nds, water can also provide an
escape.
Dead Calm (1989):
One of the earliest lms Nicole Kidman
starred in, this thriller allowed her to show-
case both her steely, cold strength as well as
her ery, formidable presence. Kidman and
Sam Neill star as a married couple who take a
trip on their yacht to heal after the death of
their son. Billy Zane is creepy and unhinged
as the stranded passenger from a nearby ves-
sel who climbs aboard and, naturally, turns
out to be a homicidal maniac. The combina-
tion of claustrophobia in such a contained
space and isolation on the high seas makes
Phillip Noyces lm intensely suspenseful.
Titanic (1997):
Although Ill go so far as to say that the 3-
D re-do James Cameron released this year is
actually preferable. I dont really have to
explain why this ones on the list, do I? Big
boat, supposedly unsinkable, hits an iceberg
and slowly slooooowly lls up with
water. Until then, it was all fun and games for
Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, whod
fallen in love despite the socioeconomic
chasm that divides them. Now theyre swim-
ming and splashing and dashing across chaot-
ic decks and increasingly cramped spaces in
hopes of surviving. Its very easy to make fun
of Titanic. But its still a pretty spectacular
spectacle to behold.
Master and Commander:
The Far Side of the World (2003): Director
Peter Weir tells a huge, sweeping story thats
also intimate and human. Russell Crowe again
proves he can ll any role with authority and
emotional resonance as a British captain
pushing his ship and his crew beyond their
limits in pursuit of a bigger, faster French ves-
sel during the Napoleonic Wars, and he has
great chemistry with Paul Bettany as the
ships doctor. Flawlessly staged and beautiful-
ly shot, its just a good, old-fashioned epic.
Nominated for 10 Oscars including best pic-
ture, it won two: for cinematography and
sound editing. Every creak and groan makes
you feel as if youre on board, too.

ROUTE 66 (AND BEYOND) BECKONS.
Road Trip. Can the traveler hear two more
beautiful words? Worth saying again. Road
Trip. Whether you like to be behind the wheel
or are the rst to call shotgun, the 250 miles
of Route 66 that run the length of Southern
Californias vast San Bernardino County call
out. With an area of 20,105 square miles, San
Bernardino is the largest county in the conti-
nental United States, larger than New Jersey,
Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island com-
bined, so you have plenty of room to roam and
discover roadside wonders, both natural and
man-made. The pace and order of the trip is up
to you. Here are the stops, get out a map and
make your plans.
ROYS MOTEL AND CAF IN AMBOY.
You can spot the Jetson-esque sign for Roys
Motel and Caf a mile away, its Googie design
towering above the few structures that make up
Amboy, Calif. Stop in and pick up an ice cold
Route 66 Route Beer, drink it, and keep the cap
and the bottle as a souvenir. Time passes slow-
ly between vehicles on this lonely stretch of
road in the at Mojave Desert country and vis-
itors use the opportunity to have themselves
photographed beside the iconic road marker
painted on the blacktop right in front of Roys.
(Trafc may be light, but look both ways
before stepping out. Swarms of motorcycles
can appear out of nowhere.) The Amboy post
ofce, ZIP code 92304, right across from
Roys, is the perfect place to mail your wish
you were here postcard.
BAGDAD CAF IN NEWBERRY
SPRINGS. Yup. The one made famous by the
movie. Patsy Cline on the jukebox and walls
covered with notes and business cards left by
travelers just like you. Be sure to tack some-
thing up and sign the guestbook.
THE BOTTLE TREE RANCH IN ORO
GRANDE. Folk artist Elmer Long welds old
signs, typewriters, vintage toys, lengths of
pipe, wheels and anything else he might nd
into phantasmagorical tree trunks, then lls out
the branches with bottles. Hundreds of these
clustered creations make an unusual forest that
you cant (and shouldnt) miss. Long is happy
to welcome visitors and talk about his work.
BARSTOWS HISTORIC HARVEY
HOUSE. The restored 1911 Spanish-
Moroccan style Casa del Desierto (House of
the Desert), standing grandly on the main rail-
road lines in Barstow, is one of the few extant
Fred Harvey hotel buildings. The Fred Harvey
Company, which owned the Harvey House
chain of restaurants and hotels alongside rail-
roads in the western United States, traces its
origins to the 1875 opening of two railroad eat-
ing houses located at Wallace, Kan. and Hugo,
Colo. Its famous waitresses came to be known
as Harvey Girls, best known today because
of Judy Garlands 1946 lm The Harvey Girls.
In the old days, people alighted from the trains
and stayed in the Barstow Harvey House.
Today the building contains ofces, function
rooms and the Route 66 Mother Road
Museum. But the railroad is still a strong pres-
ence. Amtrak provides passenger service at
Casa del Desierto and long freight trains con-
stantly roll past, some pulling so many cars
that the engine disappears into the distance
before the caboose can be seen.
AND BEYOND. Joshua Tree National Park
is off Route 66 but worth the detour.
Punctuated with gigantic piles of massive
boulders and wild-armed Joshua Trees, this
otherworldly 800,000-acre piece of high desert
is at once forbidding and mesmerizing with
lots to see and do. Take the Hidden Valley one-
mile loop walking trail to a legendary cattle
rustlers hideout. From 5,185 feet up at Keys
View, see both the Salton Sea spread out in the
distance and the San Andreas Fault scarring the
valley below. Pick up a brochure at the park
entrance to guide you through an 18-mile tour
of geological sites, pop in your U-2 CD, and
drive, drive, drive. Hungry after the park?
Check out Pappy & Harriets Pioneertown
Palace. Ribs and southwestern red rice. Steak
with pinto beans. Pork chops with garlic-
mashed potatoes. All cooked on outdoor

Big sodas today; bagels
with schmeer tomorrow?
By Adam Geller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Just how far would a government go to pro-
tect us from ourselves?
In New York City which already bans smoking in public
parks in the name of public health and bars articial trans fats
from food served in restaurants Mayor Michael Bloomberg
now wants to stop sales of large sodas and other sugary drinks,
in a bid to battle obesity. But in a country where fries have been
equated with freedom, Bloombergs proposal raises super-sized
questions about governments role in shaping and restricting
individual choices. Whats next, a Twinkie purge?
The idea of the state stepping in and treating adults essen-
tially as children and trying to protect them for their own good,
as opposed to the good of others, thats been with us for as long
as weve been around, as long as weve had governments, says
Glen Whitman, an economist at California State University-
Northridge who is a critic of paternalistic public policy.
The most famous example was Prohibition, which barred the
manufacture and sale of alcohol from 1919 to 1933. But
Whitman and others see a new wave of intervention afoot,
based on behavioral economics rather than religious moralism,
and symbolized by moves like Bloombergs. Allow it to contin-
ue, they say, and who knows where it could lead?
If government ofcials can limit the size of sodas, why could-
nt they next decide to restrict portion sizes of food served in
restaurants or the size of pre-made meals sold at supermarkets?
Why wouldnt a government determined to curb obesity restrict
sales of doughnuts or pastries or perish the thought, New
Yorkers ban bagels with a schmeer of cream cheese?
If government is within its right to restrict behavior to protect
health, then why wouldnt a mayor or other ofcial ban risky
sexual conduct or dangerous sports like skydiving? Whats to
stop a mayor from requiring people to wear a certain type of
sunscreen or limit the amount of time they can spend on the
beach, to protect them from skin cancer?

LOS ANGELES Is the Wii U right
for you?
At last years Electronic Entertainment
Expo (E3), Nintendo captured most of
the spotlight by unveiling the Wiis suc-
cessor, a high-denition console called
the Wii U that utilizes a tablet-like touch-
screen controller. Attention alone wasnt
enough to declare a victory. Folks
werent, well, feeling it. Critical reaction
was mixed, and the Japanese gaming
giants stock dropped.
Nintendo has an uphill battle this
year, said Morgan Webb, co-host of the
G4 gaming show X-Play. Its really a
branding problem. I think a lot of people
are still confused about the Wii U.
Theyre going to have a hard time con-
vincing people that this could be a better
gaming experience than the iPad.
At this years E3 convention in Los
Angeles next week, Nintendo Co. will
attempt to assuage such concerns by
introducing gamers to titles that will be
available for Wii U when its expected to
launch later this year. Previously, the
Mario Bros. creator only teased what
was capable through a series of technol-
ogy demonstrations.
E3 comes at a time when the gaming
industry could use a few good parties and
pep talks. The NPD Group, a research
rm that tracks the U.S. sales of game
software, hardware and accessories, said
that while consumers spent more than $1
billion on games and accompanying giz-
mos in April, retail sales fell 32 percent
from a year ago, the fth month of
decline.
The continued interest in cheaper-to-
produce mobile, social and download-
able games is expected to be showcased
more than ever before at E3, a ashy
extravaganza typically focused on build-
ing buzz for the loudest and sexiest
games. Zynga, the developer of social
games like FarmVille and Words
With Friends, will have a presence at E3
for the rst time.
Every time I go to E3, Im usually
surprised, said Jay Wilson, lead design-
er of the role-playing game Diablo III.
I expect to be surprised again. What I
hope is that no matter what platform peo-
ple are working on, no matter what new
area that theyre exploring, the most
important thing is gameplay. If a game
provides great gameplay, the platform
doesnt really matter.
Indeed, a strong line-up of games will
be integral to the future success of the
Wii U, a lesson Nintendo learned the
hard way after last years lackluster
launch of the 3DS, its glasses-free 3-D
handheld device. X-Plays Webb
thinks Nintendo could win over the E3
crowd if it introduces innovative, unex-
pected, must-own games that appeal
equally to both hardcore and casual
gamers.
Unless Nintendos fellow rst-party
publishers Sony Corp. or Microsoft
Corp. unveil new hardware or radical
updates to their respective PlayStation 3
and Xbox 360 consoles, the E3 spotlight
for better or worse will undoubted-
ly be shining back in Nintendos direc-
tion. (Microsoft and Sony have previous-
ly shot down rumors theyd unleash new
consoles at this years E3.)
The Wii U was announced last year,
and that stimulates all kinds of thoughts
about whats possible, said Mark Lamia,
the studio head at Call of Duty: Black
Ops II developer Treyarch. Itll be
interesting to see what happens with the
rst parties. Its always an exciting time
when rumors are in the air, and we see if
E3 is the time when they become more
than rumors.
Most other game makers will use the
expo to hype new entries in their seem-
ingly never-ending franchises. Theres
Activisions Call of Duty: Black Ops
II, Microsofts Halo 4 and Forza
Horizon, Sonys God of War:
Ascension and LittleBigPlanet
Karting, Ubisofts Far Cry 3 and
Assassins Creed III, as well as the
revealing of several other new chapters.
Some sequels at E3 are emerging from
deep within the vault. Franchises once
considered extinct, such as invasion sim-
ulator X-COM, stealthy shooter
Hitman and town builder SimCity,
will return to a vastly different landscape.
Will these once beloved series be re-
embraced? Its a strategy thats worked
for some (Twisted Metal) but failed
others (Syndicate).
Electronic Arts Inc. will show off such
games as the real-world military simula-
tor Medal of Honor: Warghter, a new
iteration of its Need for Speed racing
series and the sci- horror sequel Dead
Space 3.
Wii U, sequels take swing at E3
At this years E3 convention in Los Angeles next week, Nintendo Co. will introduce
gamers to titles that will be available for Wii U when its expected to launch later
this year.

ing the opposition, said the claim sounds
accurate.
It is a new business license tax on
gross receipts for rental cars so it seems to
me like a new car tax, Turner said.
Horsley, however, said the ads are dra-
matically disingenuous.
San Mateo County Forward a coali-
tion of elected ofcials, service providers
and others who see the taxes as a way to
stave off further cuts said voters are
being mislead by the opposition group
whose more than a quarter-million dollar
war chest is funded entirely by Hertz and
Enterprise rental car companies.
In comparison, the proponents who
have raised roughly $60,000 are relying
on endorsements by ofcials like U.S.
Rep. Jackie Speier, iers and they hope
the common sense of the community to
battle back the broadcast campaign of
companies that argue the taxes will hit
them hard. Specically, the three meas-
ures on the June 5 primary T, U and X
will add business license taxes to rental
car and parking businesses and increase
the transient occupancy tax at hotels.
Specically, rental cars would gain a 2.5
percent tax, parking an 8 percent tax and
TOT, or hotel tax, would jump from the
existing 10 percent to 12 percent. Taken
together, the taxes will generate an esti-
mated $13 million annually which county
ofcials say is part of their multi-pronged
approach to reducing a structural decit,
keeping a balanced budget and preventing
future cuts to services and workers.
Gathered outside the Millbrae BART
station Friday, members of San Mateo
County Forward made their last-ditch
pitch before the June 5 primary election.
The groups strongest argument is that the
taxes, which they describe as modest, will
be paid primarily by visitors to and from
San Francisco International Airport rather
than San Mateo County residents.
Although the airport is the primary focus
of the campaign, federal law prohibits the
county from exclusively taxing airport-
related business so the taxes will apply to
all commercial operators in the unincor-
porated area, including restaurants with
valet parking and hotels that charge sepa-
rately for parking.
The formal opposition, a group known
as Taxpayers for a Strong Economy,
counter that the taxes will actually affect
residents and the countys economy nega-
tively by dissuading tourism and heaping
more costs on those who either own or use
such businesses. Proponents, however, say
travelers arent going to choose the
Sacramento airport over SFO, for
instance, when visiting the Wine Country
just to save a few dollars.
Were talking about a cup of coffee,
said Supervisor Dave Pine.
Local individual opponents are likely
those who are just opposed to any taxes,
Horsley said.
Instead, Horsley and Pine took aim at
the organized effort, saying that if mem-
bers were really concerned about tourism
they would be speaking with San
Francisco and other cities that already
impose parking and car taxes or have
higher hotel taxes.
Jon Ballesteros, vice president of public
policy for the San Francisco Travel
Association, said the group did battle San
Franciscos 2010 hotel tax proposal. He
also disagreed that more taxes wont dis-
suade tourism.
Its just pretty clear when you look at
the competitive nature of destinations.
Travelers get to decide and when there is
a new rental tax they look at compared to
all the other metro airports, Ballesteros
said.
Yesterday, Pine and Horsley argued that
the county has sustained the impact of
SFO on its infrastructure, services and
environment without reaping any of the
benets. The city of San Francisco
receives $50 million in revenue from the
airport.
San Francisco has an ATM of sorts at
SFO. They take the large bills and we just
want some change, Pine said.
Service League Executive Director
Mike Nevin, a former county supervisor,
said county residents pay high sales tax
for transportation needs, like the Millbrae
BART station, that are used by travelers so
the tax is just a matter of paying their fair
share.
All were asking is to throw us a bone,
he said.
The taxes, proponents say, are a way to
recoup some benet from the airport
while also helping the county ease its
ongoing challenge to provide public safe-
ty, medical and other services to more
than 700,000 residents. Pine and Horsley
said the county has done its part by cutting
more than $70 million in operating costs
through a combination of eliminating 500
positions, slashing budgets and negotiat-
ing $13 million in labor cost reductions.
The taxes are considered another key to
solvency and are already assumed in the
recommended county budget released ear-
lier in the week. If the taxes fail, county
ofcials will need to ll that $13 million
hole through more cuts to health and pub-
lic safety, Horsley said.
An increase in the transient occupancy
tax would put the county on par with
neighboring jurisdictions and generate an
extra $200,000 yearly based on current
receipts of approximately $1 million,
according to calculations by the County
Managers Ofce. The county doesnt cur-
rently tax parking facilities but several
cities like Millbrae and South San
Francisco do. Of the approximately $80.9
million in gross receipts created by SFO,
nearly $63 million falls in the unincorpo-
rated area. Assuming the gures stay
roughly the same, a business license tax of
8 percent would generate approximately
$4.9 million annually. Likewise, a 2.5 per-
cent business license tax on the operators
of vehicle rental businesses would bring in
approximately $7.75 million in general
fund revenue annually based on the $310
million in receipts generated in 2010.
The county tried similar car and parking
taxes in 2008 but both failed with just
more than 52 percent voters opposed.
After the election, county supervisors
blamed a lack of active campaigning. The
county taxes also come just months before
the November election in which state vot-
ers will be faced with a proposition for a
sales tax increase. Tax proponents believe
voters will not let the fall request color
their opinions on the local measures
Tuesday.
All three taxes need a simple majority
to pass because they are not earmarked for
specic uses.

We are condent in the abilities of the
Capuchino leadership and staff to sustain
their steady progression. We will work
with the staff and administration on the
concerns expressed but I do not want the
Capuchino community to lose sight of
their recent gains or the positive focus on
the students and their accomplishments,
Laurence wrote in an email.
Fogle declined to comment further.
Shanks has created a number of prob-
lems since joining Capuchino four years
ago, teachers said in the letter.
She has demonstrated significant
inadequacies in her leadership skills, as
well as management and personnel
skills, the letter reads. This has resulted
in a toxic school climate and the loss of
many dedicated educators, with numer-
ous others submitting transfer requests,
thus devastating Capuchinos long-stand-
ing culture of staff leadership, empower-
ment and cohesiveness.
A consulting rm was brought in to
help the school climate but only one
meeting took place, teachers wrote. At
that meeting, staff expressed feelings of
being harassed, intimidated or fearful.
Despite the differences, Fogle and
Tuite wrote that staff has remained dedi-
cated to providing an exemplary educa-
tional experience for Capuchinos
diverse learning community.
Without change, the teaching faculty
was asked if they would like Shanks to
remain as principal. Only 10 of the 60
asked responded with yes, according to
the teachers. Now the teachers are asking
the superintendent and the board to sup-
port the request.
Laurence said the staff and principal
have made great work over the last few
years in terms of student performance,
program development and community
outreach.
However, to achieve these results, a
tremendous amount of change was nec-
essary. Change can be unsettling, but at
times schools need to re-evaluate and
change in order to reach their potential,
he said, adding that he is condent in the
leadership at Capuchino.
Similarly, Shanks pointed out the
changes which have gone into effect in
recent years including increasing
involvement in two programs:
Advancement Via Individual
Determination, a college readiness sys-
tem that has increased from two classes
of 50 students to ve classes with 130
students and the International
Baccalaureate program, an academically
challenging program that prepares stu-
dents for college, which has grown from
132 students in 2008 and 312 this year.
She added that there has been an increase
in test scores and the creation of the
Freshman Small Learning Community
which led to a new Sophomore Small
Learning Community.
Shanks ended by committing herself to
Capuchino and the vision that all stu-
dents graduate with the skills needed to
be prepared for college and career oppor-
tunities.

were chosen for the honor, part of the
annual Festival of Flowers started in 1941
as a dedication to children. It was pat-
terned after the Tournament of Roses
Parade in Pasadena, instead with the posy
as its signature ower. The parade, tradi-
tionally for youngsters 14 years old and
younger, has achieved both state and
national fame for San Bruno. Last year,
bad weather leading up to the parade
made it questionable if it would be held.
Despite a smaller turnout, the parade
went on. This year, Lions Club members
hope to start rebuilding the community
participation.
This years princess court also includes
Reagan McNichol from Crestmoor
Elementary, Gianna Alcaraz from St.
Roberts and Alyssa Panameno from
Rollingwood Elementary. All children 14
and under are encouraged to participate
by using articial or real decorations to
depict this years theme, Education is
Everything. There is no sign-up or fees.
Children simply need to be there 30 min-
utes prior to the parade to participate.
Put on by the San Bruno Lions Club,
the parade is meant to bring the commu-
nity together. Lion Issac Mejia, who owns
Don Picos in San Bruno, remembered
attending the parade in high school. A
member of the Crestmoor band, Mejia
was surprised at how even teens got
involved with the event. Each year, the
parade includes a marching band but this
years will be particularly big. More than
200 alumni from Capuchino High
Schools band program have signed up to
come together for the occasion.
Mejia said the hope is to really cele-
brate the community coming together.
There will also be the annual Posy
Parade baseball games at Tom Lara Field.
A free hot dog lunch will be provided by
the San Bruno Lions for all parade partic-
ipants. Hot dogs will also be for sale.
The parade begins at Posy Park on San
Mateo Avenue at Kains Avenue and trav-
els south to El Camino Real at Taylor
Avenue, crossing over to Crystal Springs
Road to San Bruno City Park. The parade
starts at 1 p.m. but participants are asked
to be lined up with the group they would
like to be judged in by 12:30 p.m.
Sunday, June 3. The parade will form on
the streets adjacent to Kains Avenue.
