Venture capitalist Tim Draper has
bought up another prized piece of
real estate in downtown San Mateo
directly across the street from his
new school for entrepreneurs at the
former Benjamin Franklin Hotel.
Draper bought the Collective
Antiques building on Third Avenue
from Steve and Merry-Lee Musich,
who have owned it since 1994.
The building was not for sale but
the owners have struggled with nd-
ing a retail tenant for part of the
ground oor of the building and had
no luck with getting the city to
allow an ofce use on the site.
The property was not on the
market, owner Merry-Lee Musich
told the Daily Journal. Draper
approached us.
The sale was nalized May 31
and Collective Antiques will of-
cially close its doors Sept. 30,
Musich said.
The Draper University of Heroes
is currently conducting its first
semester of school under a pilot
program and Draper told the Daily
Journal what will happen to the
18,000-square-foot Collective
Antiques building depends greatly
on the success of the pilot program.
Draper also owns the Wells Fargo
building on Fourth Avenue.
Startup SnapLogic currently leas-
es basement space in the Collective
Antiques building and wanted to
expand to the ground oor as it
grows. San Mateo, however, man-
dates that ground oor space down-
town be used for retail uses
although the city is currently revisit-
ing the issue.
About 45 students are now
enrolled in the universitys pilot

When Jim Stansberry helped start
Project 90 back in 1972, the thought
was to provide some help to a few
guys or people on the street in
San Mateo who were suffering with
alcohol and drug addiction.
Forty years later, those few
guys turned out to be about 20,000
as the nonprot is ready to celebrate
its anniversary and all of those who
have participated in the program
and succeeded in sobriety.
Project 90 rented a couple of
rooms at the Casa Mateo in the early
days and has since grown to 14
facilities in four counties that house
those seeking help with addiction
on their own or through court man-
dates.
Project 90 contracts with San
Mateo County to provide services
for those on probation who struggle
with addiction.
It provides 90-day residential
treatment, although some programs
are shorter, and encourages its clients
to participate in a 12-step program.
Through the years, many of
Project 90s graduates have ended
up working for the nonprofit,
including Mark Harvin, the
agencys assistant manager of
development.
Harvin, 29, was ordered by the
court to seek treatment in 2007.
He was a heavy drinker, crystal
methamphetamine user and was
kicked out of his parents home.
After participating in residential
treatment, Harvin was homeless and
broke.
When I left here, I had nowhere
to go, he told the Daily Journal. He
asked his parents if he could move
back in but they declined his
request.
Project 90 turns 40

SAN FRANCISCO The cost of
pensions and retiree health benets
are soaring at the University of
California, increasing pressure to
raise tuition and cut academic pro-
grams at one of the nations leading
public college systems.
The 10-campus system is con-
fronting mounting bills for employee
retirement benets even as it grap-
ples with unprecedented cuts in state
funding that have led to sharp tuition
hikes, staff reductions and angry stu-
dent protests.
The UC system, including medical
centers and national laboratories, is
scrambling to shore up its pension
fund as it prepares for a wave of
retirements and tackles a roughly
$10 billion unfunded liability.
The UC Retirement Plans huge
decit was created by investment
losses during the global economic
crisis and the nearly two decades
when campuses, employees and the
state did not contribute any money
toward pensions.
The regents made a serious error
and the Legislature made a serious
error by not putting money aside for
19 years while accumulating an obli-
gation, said Bob Anderson, a UC
Berkeley economist who chairs the
systems Academic Senate. Now
we have to pay for
it.
The UC system
faces spiraling pen-
sion costs for
56,000 current
retirees and another
116,000 employees
nearing retirement.
As of May, there were 2,129 UC
retirees drawing annual pensions
over $100,000, 57 with pensions
over $200,000 and 3 with pensions
over $300,000, according to data
obtained by the Associated Press
through a Public Records Act
request.

Finding the right option to house a
growing enrollment in Foster City is
the task at hand for a community
group that started meeting last
month; an update of their work will
be presented to the San Mateo-
Foster City School District Board
Thursday evening.
The Superintendents Committee
on Overcrowding Relief, or
SCORE, was created after residents
packed a March board meeting to
oppose the idea of the district possi-
bly purchasing commercial space to
house a fourth elementary school in
Foster City. Since then, the district
and city worked together to choose
representatives for the 13-member
group which will discuss a variety
of options and make a recommenda-
tion in July. On Thursday, the board
will hear an update on the groups
work thus far. At the same meeting,
the board will consider approving a
District to get update
on fourth school effort

Paul McCartney turns 70
LONDON Paul McCartney can
still rock at 70 what more could a for-
mer Beatle want?
He celebrated his birthday in private
Monday, perhaps resting up between
gigantic gigs this summer, but is show-
ing no sign of slowing down as his
music is passed
down to generations
too young to have
seen him in Wings,
much less the
Beatles.
Once a pot-smok-
ing counterculture
rebel, Sir Paul is
very much part of
the British establish-
ment now, closing
Queen Elizabeth IIs Diamond Jubilee
concert earlier this month with a mix of
favorites that included a raucous All
My Loving, one of the Beatles rst
smash hits.
Hes also preparing for a featured role
closing the London Olympics opening
ceremony on July 27 just another
global audience measuring a billion or
more for one of the most popular per-
formers in pop history.
Even McCartney may be a bit nervous
for that one, but he wont be short of
material: Consider a back catalogue that
includes Yesterday, Eleanor Rigby,
Penny Lane and a few dozen other
classics, including perennial crowd
pleasers Let It Be and Hey Jude.
Its been a strong year for McCartney,
who in October took his third wife, dark-
haired American heiress Nancy Shevell,
closing the book on his failed union and
messy divorce from second wife Heather
Mills. His rst wife, Linda, died of
breast cancer in 1998.
McCartney has appeared relaxed and
almost jovial in recent months as he
eases into his role as one of rocks emi-
nent elder statesmen, a position he
shares with Bob Dylan (71) and Mick
Jagger (68).
McCartney has admitted dyeing his
hair (which sometimes seems to have an
odd burgundy tint), but his musical abil-
ity has not diminished with age.
John Lennons widow Yoko Ono
tweeted birthday wishes to McCartney
Monday, and Paul Weller made a one-
day only digital release of the Beatles
song Birthday as a tribute, with pro-
ceeds going to charity.
Suu Kyi walks on
with star-struck Bono
DUBLIN Aung San Suu Kyi and
Bono joined forces Monday as the
Myanmar democracy activists European
tour moved from the home of the Nobel
Peace Prize to the land of U2.
The pair spent more than an hour answer-
ing questions at an Oslo conference of peace
mediators at the end of
Suu Kyis four-day
visit to Norway. Then
they jetted together to
the Irish capital,
Dublin, for an evening
concert in her honor.
Irish Foreign
Minister Eamon
Gilmore and a trio of
children, two of them
Burmese nationals, offered Suu Kyi owers
as she arrived at Dublin Airport. After meet-
ing Irish President Michael D. Higgins, she
arrived at a riverside theater to thunderous
cheers and applause, with Bono and Nobel
laureate poet Seamus Heaney walking
alongside her down the red carpet.
Inside, Amnesty International organized a
three-hour show of songs, poems and
speeches in her honor featuring top Irish
stars, and set against a backdrop of a wall of
opened birdcages symbolizing her freedom
from house arrest in 2010.
Following the Dublin concert at an out-
door rally, Suu Kyi is to sign the roll of
honor proclaiming her a Freewoman of the
City of Dublin, an honoric title bestowed in
her absence in 1999.
Amnesty ofcials also plan to give her a
birthday cake and lead the crowd in a chorus
of Harry Birthday.
Bono said Suu Kyi was exceptionally
philosophical and spiritual for a politician.
And he expressed admiration over how she
had stuck to a position of nonviolence
throughout her 15 years in detention.

Sue Martinez was prepping for knee surgery
in 2008 when her tests caused some concerns.
The San Mateo woman who grew up in
Burlingame wasnt surprised. Her family has
a history of polycystic kidney disease. Until
then, Martinez had thought she avoided it. Her
condition quickly worsened. By mid 2010,
she had severely limited function of her kid-
neys. Martinez began dialysis three times a
week in December of the same year, which
she continues to do. Next week, the 51-year-
old single mother is scheduled to have one
kidney removed. After surgery, Martinez has
few options in terms of her treatment unless
she nds a kidney donation. Shes now active-
ly searching to nd someone willing to give
her that gift.
I miss the world, she said, noting treat-
ment often keeps her from activities she pre-
viously enjoyed.
Since kidney problems is a hereditary one
for Martinez, a number of her family members
have donated a kidney to other family mem-
bers. Thats not an option for Martinez, how-
ever.
She previously worked doing collision esti-
mates, something she started while in high
school. The Burlingame High School alum
tried to keep her family schedule the same by
doing dialysis during the day and cooking din-
ner at home for her 18-year-old daughter.
Treatments, Martinez
said, suck the life out of
me.
Since Martinezs daugh-
ter recently graduated, the
schedule might switch to
evening treatments.
Martinez is hopeful the
switch will allow her to go
right to bed after and
become more active dur-
ing the day.
Dr. Jeremiah Lowney,
MatchingDonors.com medical director, previ-
ously explained often the donor doesnt know
the person who will be helped. And, leading
up to the surgery, there is plenty of time to
back out. Despite these opportunities to
change ones mind, people often decide to
help a stranger.
The rst step to consider being a donor is to
know your blood type, said Lowney. Those
who dont know their blood type could con-
sider donating blood at a local blood bank,
which could tell the type, he said.
Those interested in being a possible donor
can sign up at MatchingDonors.com.
MatchingDonors.com currently has more
than 500 patients with active proles. There
are also proles for more than 11,000 possible
donors, said MatchingDonors.com CEO Paul
Dooley.
Founded in 2004, MatchingDonors.com
aims to nd potential live donors for people in
need of transplants. Currently, patients wait-
ing for an organ donation are placed on the
national waiting list through the United
Network for Organ Sharing. Once on the list,
they can be matched according to criteria like
blood and tissue type, immune status, medical
urgency and time spent on the list.
MatchingDonors.com is another route indi-
viduals can use to try to nd a match.
If found to be a match, possible donors must
also complete a physical and a psychological
evaluation before going through surgery.
Earlier this year, the nonprot was noted in
a Daily Journal article about longtime College
of San Mateo coach Tom Martinez, known as
a mentor to Super Bowl bound Tom Brady, is
in need of a kidney. Tom Martinez died but
two people who came forward became donors
for two other patients, said Dooley.

donor, visit www.MatchingDonors.com. To

name on the main website.

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Police in South San Francisco are search-
ing for a couple who scammed a woman out
of money and jewelry with the promise of
sharing $100,000 in lottery winnings.
The victim, a 33-year-old South San
Francisco woman, was walking in the 300
block of Maple Avenue on Friday when she
was approached by a Hispanic man in his
30s with black hair and a patchy beard,
police said.
The man asked the victim if she knew of a
charity in the area that helped people with
immigration paperwork, food and clothing.
As the two were talking, a woman in her
30s with blond hair approached them and
said she knew of such a charity, but would
only show the man where it was if the victim
accompanied them in his car.
As the three were driving, the man said he
had a winning lottery ticket worth $100,000.
The female suspect then pretended to call the
lottery commission and claimed to verify the

Girl, 3, who drowned
in lagoon identied
A 3-year-old girl who drowned in
a San Mateo lagoon on Saturday
afternoon has been identied by the
San Mateo County Coroners Ofce
as Tatiana Eiland-Clinton.
The toddler was reported missing
from her familys home on Day
Avenue at about 4:15 p.m., San
Mateo police Sgt. Dave Norris said.
Police and family members
searched for the girl and found her
oating in a nearby lagoon about 35
minutes later, Norris said.
Police and paramedics performed
CPR, but Tatiana did not regain con-
sciousness, and was declared dead
at the scene.
The Coroners Ofce is investi-
gating the death, which police have
called a tragic accident.
Father charged with abusing
disabled child will go to trial
A South San Francisco man is
facing life in prison after being
charged with sexually abusing his
young physically disabled daughter
repeatedly beginning when she was
8 years old.
The 35-year-old man, who is not
being named to protect the identity
of his alleged victim, was arrested in
May on suspicion of 108 counts of
child molestation. On Monday, he
was in court for a preliminary hear-
ing and the judge decided to move
forward with a trial, said District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. He faces
two counts of continuous sexual
abuse, one of which carries a possi-
ble life sentence and both which
encompass all the other alleged
crimes of penetration and oral copu-
lation. The defendant will be back in
court July 3 to set a trial date.
The mans daughter has a chronic
physical disability requiring lab
work every few months. After
semen was found during a routine
urine test and was genetically linked
to the man, authorities launched the
investigation resulting in his arrest.
The defendant previously pleaded
not guilty to one count of continual
sexual abuse, namely oral copula-
tion, on a child age 10 or younger
and one count of continual sexual
abuse on a child under 14.
Prosecutors say the abuse began in
late 2007.
He remains in custody on a no
bail status.
Two arrested for
attack on bicyclists
San Mateo police arrested two
people Sunday after they allegedly
tried to run over two juveniles on
bicycles near downtown.
Police responded to Fourth
Avenue and Grant Street Sunday
afternoon on multiple reports that a
pickup truck was trying to hit bicy-
clists in the area.
Eyewitnesses reported that two
suspects were harassing two male
juveniles on bicycles, and drove the
vehicle at the bicyclists, according
to police. One of the bicyclists
jumped off of his bicycle to avoid
being struck and the truck drove
over the bicycle and onto the side-
walk toward the juvenile, according
to police.
The two juveniles were located
uninjured. Based on detailed wit-
ness information, ofcers located
the suspect vehicle in San Mateo
and identied the suspects as Jason
Hernandez-Lopez, age 24, of San
Mateo, and Dian Burton, age 31, of
San Mateo, according to police.
Hernandez-Lopez and Burton were
arrested for assault with a deadly
weapon and conspiracy. They were
booked into San Mateo County Jail.
Redwood City district
renances school bond
By renancing Measure B, a $22
million bond measure approved by
voters in 2002, officials in the
Redwood City Elementary School
District expect to save taxpayers
$4.4 million, according to a press
release issued by the district last
week.
The term of the bond remains the
same; it will be paid off Aug. 1,
2027.
However, due to historically low
interest rates in the municipal bond
market, the district was able to re-
nance the voter-approved bond at a
lower interest rate for the duration
of the bond.
According to KNN Public
Finance, the typical taxpayer will
save $113.48 over the next 15 years
as a result of the savings in debt
service due to the lower interest
rate.
The Redwood City School
District Board of Trustees voted to
approve the renancing of the bond
March 28. Similar to renancing a
home to a lower interest rate mort-
gage, proceeds of the new bonds are
used to pay off the older bonds;
the new bonds have lower interest
rates than the older bonds, thereby
reducing annual payments. The
lower payments mean savings to
taxpayers, according to the district.
We rely on the support of local
taxpayers to keep our schools
strong, and voters made it possible
for us to complete a variety of build-
ing upgrades across the district,
such as remodeled classrooms,
remodeled restrooms, roong, x-
ing or replacing leaking roofs, secu-
rity upgrades and campus safety by
approving Measure B, said
Superintendent Jan Christensen.
We are very pleased that we can
now provide a savings to taxpayers
on this important investment by re-
nancing the bond.
With municipal bond rates at his-
torical lows, the district was able to
renance at an all-in cost of 3.13
percent. The original bonds were
issued in 2002 and have an interest
rate of 5 percent. The bonds are
being sold to the underwriting rm
of Robert W. Baird & Co., Inc., who
was the lowest of seven bidders in a
competitive sale.
Brush fire closes two

Local briefs
STATE 7
By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO California legislators
may have passed a budget, but Democratic
leaders and Gov. Jerry Brown are ghting to a
standoff over his proposal to restructure the
states welfare program.
Brown is pressuring the Legislature for
deeper cuts amid a projected $15.7 billion
shortfall. Negotiations continued Monday with
Democratic lawmakers resisting Browns pro-
posal to reduce welfare spending, one of many
issues still to be resolved before the states
spending plan can take effect.
Brown, a Democrat, wants to emphasize get-
ting people back to work, while reducing aid
for parents who arent meeting requirements
under CalWORKS, the states welfare-to-work
program. The governors ofce says his plan
would save $880 million.
But Democrats say its foolish to pay for job
training when there arent enough jobs to go
around. They would rather
preserve cash grants.
It is inefficient and,
quite frankly, foolish, to
invest in training for jobs
that dont exist, Assembly
Speaker John Perez said
last week before passing
the initial budget plan.
Democrats want to
extend existing cuts on
county work training and child care assistance
programs, but the move would save $428 mil-
lion less than half of Browns proposal.
Their differences on welfare remain a major
sticking point as Democratic leaders seek the
governors approval this week on bills that
must be resolved before the budget can take
effect. The spending plan approved last week
assumes voters will approve a tax increase in
November, otherwise several automatic cuts
will trigger, drastically reducing public school
support.
CalWORKS serves about 1.4 million poor
people 1 million of whom are children.
According to the state Department of Social
Services, the average family on state aid in
January received $465 a month, but parents
can qualify for work training, child care and
other services.
Brown wants permanent structural changes
to shrink the $5.4 billion program, which
amounts to about 5 percent of the states gen-
eral fund. He is proposing to redesign the
states welfare program by creating three tiers
of eligibility.
Under his proposal, the state would intro-
duce CalWORKS Plus to give adults extra
cash when they meet work requirements.
Most families would qualify for
CalWORKS Basic, which would be a continu-
ation of the current program. Brown, however,
wants to restrict the length of time those fami-
lies can collect cash aid from four years to two
years if they fail to meet work requirements.
Also, Brown wants to give less aid to fami-
lies where for various reasons only children
qualify. A family of three in which only the
child is eligible for benets would be cut from
a $516 a month benet to $375 a month, an
amount equal to 24 percent of the federal
poverty level.
Critics say the governors proposal wouldnt
give parents enough time to earn their GED or
college degree, and it doesnt acknowledge
family nuances, such as disabled parents or
grandparents who care for their grandchildren.
His approach has just been one size ts all,
and that size is just cut them, said Mike
Herald, a lobbyist for the Western Center on
Law and Poverty, which advocates for low-
income families.
Democratic leaders fear the move would
drive families into homelessness at a time
when unemployment remains high at 10.8 per-
cent. Los Angeles County reported the number
of CalWORKS families who have become
homeless doubling from about 5,500 in 2006
to about 11,500 last year.

Rodney King autopsy
concluded; results weeks away
RIALTO Investigators conducted an
autopsy Monday on Rodney Kings body, but
it was expected to take several weeks to deter-
mine what killed him, ofcials said.
Coroners ofcials will await results from
toxicology tests that could take up to six
weeks to gather before determining how King
died. He was pulled from the deep end of his
pool early Sunday morning by police who
were called to his home by his ancee.
King, 47, became famous after he was
severely beaten by Los Angeles police in
1991. It was captured on videotape and broad-
cast worldwide, as were photos of Kings
bloodied and bruised face. The more than 50
baton blows and kicks inicted by ofcers left
King with 11 skull frac-
tures, a broken eye socket
and facial nerve damage.
The trial of four ofcers
charged with felony
assault in connection with
the case ended after a jury
with no black members
acquitted three of the of-
cers on state charges in the
beating; a mistrial was
declared for a fourth.
The verdict sparked one of the most costly
and deadly race riots in the nations history.
Rialto police were investigating Kings
death as an apparent drowning and said they
have found no signs of foul play. Kings
ancee spoke with police for several hours
Sunday and is considered a witness in the
case, Rialto Police Ofcer David Shepherd
said Monday.

LOS ANGELES Microsoft has unveiled
Surface, a tablet computer to compete with
Apples iPad.
CEO Steve Ballmer was on hand to announce
the new tablet, calling it part of a whole new
family of devices the company is developing.
One version of the device, which wont go
on sale until sometime in the fall, is 9.3 mil-
limeter thick and works on the Windows RT
operating system. It comes with a kickstand to
hold it upright and a touch keyboard cover that
snaps on using magnets. The device weighs
under 1.5 pounds and will cost about as much
as other tablet computers. Its debut is set to
coincide with the upcoming fall release of
Microsofts much-anticipated Windows 8
operating system.
Steven Sinofsky, president of Microsofts
Windows division, called the device a tablet
thats a great PC a PC thats a great tablet.
A slightly thicker version still less than 14
millimeters thick and under 2 pounds will
work on Microsofts upcoming Windows 8 Pro
operating system and cost as much as an
Ultrabook, the company said. The pro version
comes with a stylus that allows users to make
handwritten notes on documents such as PDF
les.
Each tablet comes with a keyboard cover that is
just 3 millimeters thick. The kickstand for both
tablets was just 0.7 millimeters thick, less than the
thickness of a credit card.
Microsoft has been making software for tablets
since 2002, when it shipped the Windows XP
Tablet PC Edition. Many big PC makers produced
tablets that ran the software, but they were never
big sellers. The tablets were based on PC technol-
ogy, and were heavy, with short battery lives.
Microsoft didnt say how long the Surface
would last on battery power.
Microsofts decision to make its own tablet is a
departure from the software makers strategy the
personal computer market. With PCs, Microsoft
was content to leave the design and marketing of
the hardware to other companies, such as Hewlett-
Packard, Dell, Lenovo and Acer, that licensed the
Windows operating system and other software
applications.
The more hands-on approach with its tablet
indicates that Microsoft either lacks condence in
the ability of its PC partners to design compelling
alternatives to Apples iPad or it believes it needs
more control to ensure Windows plays a major
role in the increasingly important mobile comput-
ing market.

Letters to the editor
Terry Nagel and leaf blowers
Editor,
I cannot understand for the life of me
why the Burlingame City Council put
through an ordinance on leaf blowers.
They indicated it is a huge inconven-
ience to city dwellers, while at the
same time closing down the fire house
that has close freeway access and
greatly lowered the noise pollution that
hundreds of us now have to endure
morning, noon and night. In the year
since they closed the Rollins Road Fire
Station, many of us have had to live
with very loud sirens leaving the heav-
ily populated California Drive station,
to work on accidents on Highway 101
for which the Burlingame Fire
Department is responsible. They do not
confine themselves to gardeners hours
I can assure you. They are not servic-
ing our residents but taking care of
their share of responsibility for a heav-
ily trafficked interstate highway.
If Councilwoman Terry Nagel and the
other members of the City Council
truly cared about the quality of life of
the residents, they would not pass puni-
tive measures on the citizenry brought
forth by a loud minority. Instead they
should take a good look at the other
decisions they have made and find out
how they are impacting the silent
majority.

Common sense needed
when it comes to leaf blowers
Editor,
In response to John Mario Chetcutis
letter, Leaf blower health claims not
based on science, in the June 13 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal, I would sug-
gest that the next time Chetcuti sees or
hears a leaf blower in his neighbor-
hood, he stand next to it and breathe in
the gas fumes, dust and dirt particles in
the air the leaf blower stirs up, and see
if it affects his health.
Perhaps you will cough and get a
headache from the gas fumes. Maybe
the gas fumes will make you sick to
your stomach. Go ahead and breathe in
the dust and dirt particles in the air and
see if you cough or sneeze, or even
choke on them. Then, turn and look at
the leaf blower operator and notice he
is wearing a mask over his nose and
mouth, because even he knows you
shouldnt breathe the gas fumes and
dust and dirt particles. It doesnt take a
rocket scientist to figure out that what
is not good or healthy to breathe in for
one man is not good or healthy to
breathe in for all, scientific report or
not. Its called common sense.
Perhaps Chetcuti is of the opinion
that leaf blowers dont cause enough
air pollution themselves, or, he thinks
that all the gas fumes will just go up
into the air or atmosphere and not
cause a problem. Isnt that how we get
air pollution in the first place, with all
the fumes and particles from vehicles,
machinery, trains, buses, jets, etc.
which all end up in the atmosphere?
Of course, the real solution to
Burlingames leaf blower problem is
everyone stop being so lazy and cut
and rake their own lawns for a change,
and sweep up the clippings with a
broom!

Eyesore properties
Editor,
Hurrah for Lois Everett who wrote
you about the dilapidated commercial
property at the corner of El Camino
Real and 25th Avenue ( Vacant proper-
ty letter to the editor in the June 16
edition of the Daily Journal).
Equally or more unsightly is the
abandoned gas station at 20th Avenue
and El Camino Real, which has been an
eyesore for years. Probably these prop-
erty owners have low tax bases, so they
can hold the property for years at low
cost. How I wish that the city would
find a way to require improved appear-
ance of unsightly properties!
Donald T. Elliott
San Mateo
No merit to letter
Editor,
The little rant (Vacant property let-
ter to the editor in the June 16 edition
of the Daily Journal) by Lois Everett is
absolutely vacant, insulting and doesnt
merit publication anywhere. Property
managers have little control over how
the owners themselves maintain their
property.
To impugn a property managers rep-
utation in public this way is just wrong
and you owe Mr. Lundley and A.V.R
Realty a public apology. As for the
editor who decided to print that
garbage, you couldnt find anything
better to publish? You also owe Mr.
Lundley and A.V.R Realty a public
apology.

Our Democratic
leaders get no respect
Editor,
It seems as though Democratic leaders
get no respect, only criticism and blame.
The facts are as follows: Jimmy Carter was
the only U.S. president in history to make a
lasting peace in the Middle East between
enemies that had existed since the time of
Christ, Egypt and Israel, yet he is seen as a
weakling for not freeing the hostages in Iran.
If people want the answer for paying off
our debt and creating jobs they need look no
further than Bill Clinton, who created loads
of good jobs and left incoming president
George W. Bush with $237 billion in budget
surplus to spend.
If the Republicans have an answer to these
problems then they should have proven it by
now, being that they have been in power for
20 of the last 30 years in which we have
experienced record debt and record levels of
unemployment. Bill Clinton paid off our debt
and left a country with loads of good quality
jobs. Yet he is remembered as a womanizer
and a man with poor integrity. George W.
Bush renewed our debt with monthly
requests of about $12 billion to ght the war
in Iraq, extending from March of 2003 until
he left ofce in 2008. That means 60 months
in a row of seizing billions of taxpayer dol-
lars. Today, however, everybody is upset at
Barack Obama, blaming him for money he
has to spend to save the country.
Patrick Field
Palo Alto
Focus or bias?
Editor,
Patrick Field (letters May 28) nds it
interesting that the international war
crimes tribunal in the Hague never has any
Israeli, French, British or American soldiers
or leaders that are on trial there. Mr. Field
neglects to mention that no Russian,
Chinese, Venezuelan, Iranian or any leader
from one of the 22 Arab nations, all serial
human rights abusers, has been on trial there
either.
I dont criticize Mr. Fields point that the
usual focus of the tribunal in question is
biased, but it is more interesting to me that
he singles out some without naming the
really obvious violators. The recent mas-
sacres in Syria, following years of torture,
rape and murder by the Assad regime there,
and allowed by the UN to continue without
protest until recently, makes this point more
eloquently than I could.

Health care
reform law
Albany (Ga.) Herald
T
he U.S. Supreme Court is expected
to release its decision sometime this
month on the constitutionality of
some or all of the Obama administrations
health care reform plan that was rushed
through Congress in late 2010.
There are some indications that it wont go
Obamas way to some degree.
UnitedHealth Group, Humana and Aetna
three of the nations biggest insurance
providers, a group that is no fan of the health
reform law said they will keep parts of the
overhaul law that have been popular with
Americans, such as coverage of children until
they are 26 years old on their parents insur-
ance plans, covering preventative care such as
immunizations and screenings with no co-pay
requirement and offering a simply process for
appealing health claims that are denied.
In addition, UnitedHealth and Humana
said they wont impose lifetime dollar limits
on insurance policy payouts, a benet to
those ghting chronic diseases and cancer,
and they would not pursue retroactive cancel-
lation of a customers coverage except for
cases such as fraud.
Again, its difcult to see why those insurers
... would make those statements if the top of-
cials in the companies expected the decision by
the Supreme Court to uphold the law in total.
An AP-GfK survey in February showed
that just over one-third of Americans sur-
veyed 35 percent favored the health
care reforms passed by Congress in March
2010, with 17 percent strongly favoring
them. Nearly half (47 percent) opposed the
health care reform law, with more strongly
opposed to it (36 percent) than the total who
support it, according to the survey.
As we said before the reform law was
adopted, it was a mistake for Democrats to
push it through and ignore Republican input.
Other voices
The Kansas City (Mo.) Star
T
he U.S. Senate has begun debating a
new farm bill that would set agricul-
tural policy for the next ve years.
One early problem is a revolt by southern
senators backing rice and peanut farmers,
who say the bill would reduce their piece of
the pie.
Stepping back from the cocoon world of
Washington, this sort of sectional squabble
seems almost laughable. The federal govern-
ment is running yet another trillion-dollar
decit, and the farm lobby is making a big
deal out of a bill that would cut spending by
brace yourself $2.3 billion a year.
But then, it may not result in lower spend-
ing at all. The measure would eliminate the
direct-payments program begun in the 1990s
and replace it with yet another insurance pro-
gram for the big row crops corn, wheat,
soybeans, rice and cotton. But if prices fall
and yields drop, the new program could mean
Washington might end up paying even more.
Uncle Sam already pays about 60 percent
of the premium costs for the existing crop-
insurance program. Adding an additional
layer of insurance would mean farmers
planting decisions would be close to risk-free.
The ecological damage resulting from such
a policy is likely to be considerable. Beefed
up crop insurance will mean the loss of more
grassland and native prairie to the plow
which might make sense if the point were to
raise more food. But encouraging farmers to
plant unproductive acreage merely to collect
subsidies is inexcusable.
Given the nations dire scal situation, a
bill that would cut these programs by a mere
$2.3 billion a year is an insult. Surely
Congress can do better than this.

Crisis-weary investors scoffed Monday
at what had appeared to be a hopeful turn
in the European debt crisis: a victory for
pro-Europe parties in a Greek election.
U.S. stocks were little changed, and bor-
rowing costs for Spain surged to alarming
levels.
Investors appeared fed up with policy
makers inability to resolve a crisis that has
bedeviled markets for more than three
years. Leaders of the most developed
countries are meeting in Mexico to discuss
the crisis and the slowing global economy.
Even though we avoided the worst-
case scenario in Greece, the crisis has
entered a new and dangerous phase, and it
doesnt end with Greece, said Michelle
Gibley, director of international research at
the Schwab Center for Financial Research,
a division of the Charles Schwab broker-
age.
U.S. indexes opened lower then drifted
between modest gains and losses.
Homebuilders rallied after a measure of
condence among U.S. builders rose to a
ve-year high.
Spanish borrowing rates spiked Monday
above levels that forced other countries to
take bailouts, a sign that bond investors
fear Spain will default on its debts.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed down 25.35 points, or 0.2 percent,
to 12,741.82. The Nasdaq composite
index rose 22.53 points, or 0.8 percent, to
2,895.33. It was lifted by Apple, its biggest
component, which rose $11.65, or 2 per-
cent, to $585.78.
Rival tech titan Microsoft will make a
major announcement after the market
closes. Many expect it to introduce a tablet
computer that would compete with
Apples market-dominating iPad.
The Standard & Poors 500 index rose
1.94 points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,344.78. Of
its 10 major industry categories, only
nancials and energy stocks fell. Banks
would be hit hard if the European crisis
spun out of control. Energy companies fol-
lowed oil prices lower.
On Sunday, Greek voters elected a party
that wants to continue a program of inter-
national bailout loans that are conditioned
on painful budget cuts. Traders had fretted
for weeks that a radical leftist party would
prevail and reject Europes unpopular
bailout plan.
The next step, traders feared, would be
Greeces dropping the shared currency.
Anxiety over a Greek exit was so pro-
nounced that many expected bank runs on
Monday if political anti-bailout parties
had won the election.
Yet Greeces situation remains precari-
ous. The anti-bailout party got a big chunk
of the vote. Theres also no guarantee that
the winners will be able to form a govern-
ment. Elections a month ago failed to pro-
duce a governing coalition, leading to
Sundays do-over.

Feds expand Toyota
fire probe to 1.4M autos
DETROIT The government has expanded
an investigation into res that can start in the
doors of several Toyota models, adding 600,000
Camrys and other vehicles to the probe.
The investigation now includes 1.4 million
cars and SUVs from the 2007 to 2009 model
years. When the probe began in February, it
involved more than 800,000 Camrys and RAV4
SUVs from the 2007 model year.
Certain Camrys from the 2008 and 2009
model years, as well as some 2007 to 2009 Yaris
subcompacts and all 2008 Highlander Hybrid
SUVs, have been added to the investigation, the
National Highway Trafc Safety Administration
said on its website Monday. The vehicles were
built from September of 2006 through August of
2008, the safety agency said.
So far, Toyota and the government have
received 161 complaints of res involving the
vehicles. Nine people have been hurt, according
to government documents.
All the vehicles use the same power window
switch in the drivers door. The switches can
overheat and cause res, the government said.
NHTSA has upgraded the investigation to a
so-called engineering analysis, which can lead
to a recall.
Governments asking
Google to remove more content
SAN FRANCISCO U.S. authorities are
leading the charge as governments around the
world pepper Google with more demands to
remove online content and turn over information
about people using its Internet search engine,
YouTube video site and other services.
Google Inc. provided a glimpse at the
onslaught of government requests in a summary
posted on its website late Sunday. The break-
down covers the nal six months of last year. Its
the fth time that Google has released a six-
month snapshot of government requests since
the company engaged in a high-prole battle
over online censorship with Chinas communist
leadership in 2010.
The country-by-country capsule illustrates the
pressure Google faces as it tries to obey the dis-
parate laws in various countries while trying to
uphold its commitment to free expression and
protect the sanctity its more than 1 billion users
personal information. Governments zero in on
Google because its services have become staples
of our digital-driven lives.

SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo is turn-
ing to a former colleague of its interim
CEO to oversee the troubled Internet
companys efforts to sell more online
advertising.
Mondays announcement that Michael
Barrett will be running Yahoos advertis-
ing sales team as chief revenue ofcer
comes ve weeks after the Sunnyvale,
Calif., company dumped Scott
Thompson as its CEO amid a ap over
misleading information on his biogra-
phy.
Thompsons replacement, interim
CEO Ross Levinsohn, used to work
closely with Barrett while they were
both top Internet executives at Rupert
Murdochs News Corp. at a time when
that company owned MySpace, once the
top online social network.
Barrett, 50, will report directly to
Levinsohn at Yahoo Inc. He is scheduled
to begin working for Yahoo early next
month after the companys second quar-
ter is completed.
ThinkEquity ana-
lyst Ronald Josey
interpreted Yahoos
decision to reunite
Barrett with
Levinsohn as a sign
that the companys
intends to anoint
Levinsohn as its per-
manent CEO. In a
Monday note, Josey
predicted that Yahoo may remove
Levinsohns interim tag before the com-
panys annual shareholder meeting,
which is scheduled for July 12.
Yahoo declined to comment on
Joseys theory.
Levinsohn is the fth CEO to try to
turn around Yahoo in less than four
years. He wants to build upon Yahoos
strengths in online news, nance, enter-
tainment and video to give Web surfers
reason to stay on the companys website
for longer periods of time.
Although its website remains among
the most popular Internet destinations,
Yahoo has been struggling for years to
bring in more advertising revenue as
Internet search leader Google Inc. and
online social networking leader
Facebook Inc. introduced more com-
pelling services and lured away advertis-
ers.
Barrett most recently worked at
Google, joining late last year as part of
the companys acquisition of online
advertising service Admeld.
Levinsohn predicted that Barretts
deep industry experience and relation-
ships will help us drive our strategic
vision, taking Yahoos industry-leading
position to the next level.
Yahoo shook up its advertising sales
team last year, but that hasnt delivered
signicant revenue gains yet.
We remain concerned that the contin-
ued restructurings around Yahoos sales
force may prolong the timeline for the
company to start gaining share, Josey
wrote in his Monday note.
To help boost its prots and stock
price, Yahoo began laying off 2,000
workers two months ago. The 14 percent
reduction in Yahoos payroll represents
the largest cutback in the companys 17-
year history.

Roger Clemens talks to reporters outside Federal District Court inWashingtonD.C.after a jury
acquitted him of lying to congress about his use of performance enhancing drugs.
By Joseph White
WASHINGTON Roger Clemens was
acquitted Monday on all charges that he
obstructed and lied to Congress by denying he
used performance-enhancing drugs to extend
his long career as one of the greatest and
most-decorated pitchers in baseball history.
Fierce on the pitching mound in his playing
days, Clemens was quietly emotional after the
verdict was announced. Im very thankful,
he said, choking up as he spoke. Its been a
hard ve years, said the pitcher, who was
retried after an earlier prosecution ended in a
mistrial.
This case was lengthy, but the deliberations
were relatively brief. Jurors returned their ver-
dict after less than 10 hours over several days.
The outcome ended a 10-week trial that
capped the governments investigation of the
pitcher known as The Rocket for the fastball
that he retained into his 40s. He won seven Cy
Young Awards, emblematic of the leagues
best pitcher each year in a 24-year career with
the Red Sox, Yankees, Blue Jays and Astros.
The verdict was the latest blow to the gov-
ernments legal pursuit of athletes accused of
illicit drug use.

The Menlo College football team entered
the off-season with a relatively large problem.
It was like a ve-alarm re, said head
coach Mark Speckman.
And so, the Oaks took the rst step in
addressing their lack of depth by announcing
the rst wave of recruits as the summer heats
up and with the 2012 season a couple of
months away.
When we sat down in January, [the offen-
sive line was] a glaring weakness, Speckman
said, not in the sense that we didnt have
good players, we just didnt have many. We
wanted to bolster our line, both in quality and
depth.
On the offensive line, the Oaks welcome in
a number of key components after the depar-
ture of seniors Kamalu Kaina and Joe Perea.
Six of the 12 newest Oaks are linemen
Scott Rose, Cameron Bargamento, Brady
Moreno, Tristan Romo, Tracer Coleman and
Wayman Yeldell.
The quality is really good, Speckman
said. With any new coaching staff, theres a
new excitement. These guys are really excited
about coming in and playing at Menlo. We are
happy we were able to address our needs.
Rose was a three-year varsity starter at
White River High School in Buckley, Wash.
As a member of the Hornets, Rose was a First
Team All-League, First Team All-Area and a
two-time First Team All-State player.

Redwood Citys Brandon Low swings and deposits the ball over the right eld fence for a
grand slam in the Celtics 14-4 win over Salinas on Monday.The Celtics had 14 hits in the win.
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Redwood City Celtics are smack-dab in
the middle of a stretch of baseball where
theyll play nine games in nine days.
And in Day 4 of the experiment, the Celtics
performed offensively like they hope they will
for at least the next ve games.
There were plenty of hits to go around
Monday against Salinas as the Celtics pound-
ed out 14 hits in a 14-4, ve-inning mercy rule
victory.
Everyone is hitting the ball well, said
Redwood City manager Corey Uhalde. Right
now, its a momentum thing and setting the
tone for the summer.
Its also a matter of conserving some pitch-
ing for Redwood City. As such, Greg Lyons,
who spent a season catching pitching for
Aragon, took the hill for the Celtics.
Lyons got off to a shaky start, allowing
three runs in the top of the rst.
We wanted to steal some innings out of
guys that dont typically pitch, Uhalde said,
adding that Lyons opening inning was de-
nitely one of those lump in your throat kind
of frames.
But as it turned out, it was Salinas who
would be doing some heavy gulping. Before
Redwood City made an out in the bottom half
of the rst, they had turned a 3-0 decit into a
5-3 lead.
Maurice Fuller led off with a single and
Greg Bildhauer followed with a screaming
double off the right eld fence that plated
RWCs lead-off hitter. DJ Semien singled
home Bildhauer to make it 3-2 and Lyons
legged-out an ineld single immediately after.
Matt Eastman was hit by a pitch to load the
bases, bringing up Brandon Low. On a two-
strike offering, Low swung and tattooed one
of the trees that line the right eld fence at
Aragon for a grand slam were it not for
Mother Nature, Lows bomb was heading
directly for Alameda de las Pulgas.
Miguel Pope continued the long, first-
inning rally with a one-out single to center.

SAN FRANCISCO R.C. Owens, a longtime
49ers front ofce man and eight-year NFL wide
receiver whose impressive leaping ability earned
him the nickname Alley Oop and helped popu-
larize the basketball phrase, died Sunday at age 78.
The Niners, his team for the rst ve of his NFL
seasons, announced Owens death on Monday.
The team said he died Sunday and had been living
in Manteca, about 75 miles east of San Francisco.
The 49ers family has suffered a great loss with
the passing of R.C. Owens,
49ers Owner and Chairman
John York said. Long after
his days as a player were
over, his devotion to the
organization remained
strong. R.C. was an ever-
present supporter of the 49ers
Foundation and did great
works with the community at
large. The San Francisco
49ers and our faithful fans
will forever be grateful for his contributions and he
will be sincerely missed.
The 6-foot-3 Owens, a college basketball star at
the College of Idaho, also played two seasons for
the Baltimore Colts, and his nal year was with
the New York Giants in 1964. He had 206 career
receptions for 3,285 yards and 22 touchdowns. He
also ran for a score.
Owens, elected into the Bay Area Sports Hall of
Fame in 2010, was selected by the 49ers in the
14th round 160th overall of the 1956 draft.
After retirement, Owens worked from 1979-
2001 for the 49ers in a variety of positions, includ-
ing director of training camp and director of alum-
ni relations. The 49ers said he loved his role of
entertaining and caring for players families while
the players practiced.
The 49ers are deeply saddened to learn of the
passing of R.C. Owens, 49ers CEO Jed York said.
While his accomplishments on the eld are well
celebrated, his contributions to our organization
and the Bay Area community are equally as
impressive. As a player and a member of the 49ers
front ofce, R.C. was a tremendous ambassador
for our team. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to
his friends, family, teammates and fans.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
You never know what baseball will bring.
Just ask Giants minor-leaguer Stephen Yarrow.
Two years ago at the University of San
Francisco, Yarrow was sitting on top of the
world as one of the nations leading home run
hitters. After hitting 16 bombs in his junior sea-
son of 2010, however, the left-handed hitting
third baseman went undrafted. After a poor
showing in his senior return to the Dons he
hit .241 last season his name again went
uncalled on draft day.
Soon thereafter, though, the Giants came
calling. Next thing you know, Yarrow was
signed as an undrafted free agent, and by years
end was promoted for a spot call-up to Triple-
A Fresno for the nal two games of the season.
Yarrow embarked on his 2012 season over
the weekend with the start of Short-Season play
in the Northwest League at Salem-Keizer.
The Vocanoes are off to a 3-0 start and
entered into play last night looking to open the
season with a four-game sweep of Boise.
Although Yarrow has gone hitless through his
rst three games while hitting out of the
cleanup spot, Volcanoes manager Tom
Trebelhorn expects Yarrow to be an important
piece of the puzzle over the teams 76-game
schedule.
To this point hes pressed a little bit,
Trebelhorn said. Ive dropped him down in the
lineup a little bit ... but, hes a solid player. He
ts in well with the ballclub. Hes a good
leader. And ... defensively hes excellent.
Trebelhorn does not own a typical resume for
a minor league manager. In his fth year at the
helm of Salem-Keizer, Trebelhorn has exten-
sive experience at the major league level, hav-
ing previously managed for seven big-league
seasons with the Brewers and Cubs. He served
as a major-league coach for another 11 seasons.
Now 64, the Oregon native has since
returned home to become one of the most piv-
otal gures among rst- and second-year play-
ers in the Giants farm system.
Im from the great state of Oregon. Ive got
family here. Ive got a beach house over the
hill, and since Im over the hill too, it seemed to
be a perfect t, Trebelhorn said.
Trebelhorn entered into play last night with a
career record of 157-150 at Salem-Keizer,
including two postseason trips to the Northwest
League nals, and a league championship in
2009. Last season, he coached the Giants No.
1 draft pick Joe Panik, who earned league MVP
honors after winning the Northwest League
batting crown.
I dont think you develop good players
without winning, Trebelhorn said. They go
hand-in-hand. You want good players that
expect to win, that want to win and play that
way. The expectation you want them to have is
to win.
Salem-Keizer has a deep roster with 33 play-
ers in the mix. Many of the early signees from
this years draft class are set to debut there,
including Sunday nights winning pitcher Ian
Gardeck a 16th-round selection out of
Alabama. Left-hander Mason McVay a 26th
rounder out of Florida International was
activated for duty last night. The highest draft
pick currently on roster is lefty Joe Kurrasch
an eighth rounder rounder out of Penn State
though he has be temporarily deactivated due
to a minor contract issue.
Otherwise, the Volcanoes are relying on a
cache of veteran pitchers to anchor the starting
rotation in Lorenzo Mendoza, Joan Gregorio,
Raymundo Montero, Kendry Flores, and Mario
Rodriguez.
Our starting rotation from last season just
happened to be there because they didnt pitch
well enough last year to be projected into (a
promotion to Low-A) Augusta, Trebelhorn
said. So, [the organization] had to put them
somewhere. They still liked them. Theyre
young and youve got to have some guys out
of the chute.
Veteran pitchers are par for the course in
Short-Season, because recent draftees are often
limited after nishing their college seasons. For
instance, rst-round pick Chris Stratton saw a
heavy load of collegiate duty in 109 2/3 innings
at Mississippi State this year.
You really cant just shoot guys out there,
Trebelhorn said. Like, if we get Stratton here
I would be surprised if he pitches 50 innings
the whole year, because hes already pitched a
hundred.
Tim Lincecum followed this work-load plan
in his rst year of pro ball. After throwing 125
1/3 innings at Washington in 2006, Lincecum
worked 31 2/3 innings between Salem-Keizer
and High-A San Jose to complete the year as a
pro.
Renda debuts at Auburn
On the opposite coast, Tony Renda made his
professional debut at Short-Season Auburn of
the New York-Penn League.
A second-round pick out of Cal by the
Nationals earlier this month, Renda hit in the
leadoff spot and played second base in
Auburns 6-5 win over Cardinals afliate
Batavia. The Hillsborough native was 1 for 5 in
the game, with his rst pro hit coming in his
second at bat a line-drive single to left in the
third inning off Batavia starter Ben Freeman.
Giants Short-Season team
begins at Salem-Keizer
ANAHEIM Matt Cain followed up his
perfect game by persevering through ve dif-
cult innings for another victory, and Brandon
Crawford had an early two-run double among
the San Francisco Giants 13 hits in a 5-3 vic-
tory over the Los Angeles
Angels on Monday night.
Ryan Theriot had three
hits and drove in two runs
for the Giants, who
rewarded Cain (9-2) for his
resilience in his rst start
since throwing the 22nd
perfect game in major
league history against
Houston last Wednesday.
Cain gave up a hit on his
third pitch at Angel Stadium to Mike Trout,
eventually allowing three runs on six hits and
a season-high four walks. After recording a
Top Ten list for David Lettermans The Late
Show on the eld before the game, he had
just four strikeouts after recording 14 in his
perfect game.
Melky Cabrera had three more hits to push
his major league-leading total to 98, and
Angel Pagan had a run-scoring single in the
Giants rst game at Angel Stadium since they
lost the nal two games of the 2002 World
Series in heart-wrenching fashion.
Four Giants relievers combined on four hit-
less innings, with Santiago Casilla nishing
up for his 19th save in 20 chances. Counting
Cains fth inning, the Angels nal 15 hitters
failed to reach base.
Jerome Williams (6-5) gave up seven hits
and four runs while failing to get out of the
fourth inning in his third straight loss for the
Angels and his second straight defeat at
Angel Stadium after going 8-0 in his rst eight
home starts with Los Angeles.
At some point after Williams left the game,
the former Giants rst-round pick was taken
to a hospital as a precaution after complaining
of shortness of breath.
Mark Trumbo hit his 16th homer and Trout
stole three bases to take over the AL lead for
the Angels, who had won seven of nine inter-
league games over the previous two weeks.
Los Angeles moved a season-high ve games
over .500 with back-to-back shutout victories
over Arizona on the weekend, but the Giants
ended the Angels streak of 22 consecutive
scoreless innings on Crawfords double in the
second.
Williams improbably revitalized his career
with Los Angeles late last season, but has
yielded 16 runs in his last three starts after a
strong start to the year.
Williams didnt help his case to stay in the
Angels rotation after Wednesdays return of
ace Jered Weaver, who has been out since
May 28 with lower-back pain. Rookie Garrett
Richards has been outstanding in three starts
in Weavers place, culminating in eight
innings of four-hit ball in a shutout victory
over Arizona on Sunday.
Cain had retired 32 straight batters and had-
nt allowed a run in 21 innings when he took
the mound in Anaheim, but his quest for back-
to-back perfection lasted only three pitches
before Trout put a clean single into left.
The Angels speedy rookie stole second and
scored on y balls from Torii Hunter and
Albert Pujols, who has 33 RBIs in his last 40
games after a slow start to his rst season with
the Angels.
Cain hit Pujols on the left hand with a 92-
mph fastball in the third inning, but the three-
time NL MVP stayed in the game.

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)

SAN JOSE Nearly two months after their
season ended prematurely with a rst-round play-
off exit, the San Jose Sharks vowed to be a more
aggressive team on the ice next season under
coach Todd McLellan.
General manager Doug Wilson and McLellan
addressed the media on Monday to preview the
upcoming draft and free
agency period and formally
announce that McLellan will
return for a fth season as
coach in San Jose.
The Sharks ownership
group announced in early
May after the playoff loss to
St. Louis that Wilson would
be back as general manager
and would make changes to
make the team a Stanley
Cup contender.
Wilson said then that McLellans status was still
under review as he wanted to understand what
went wrong during the season and give McLellan
time to heal from a concussion he suffered after
being hit in the head by a stick while on the bench.
Todd is our coach, has been our coach,Wilson
said. The process we went through there was to
look through this past year. Much like players have
injuries and you want them to get healthy and get
their honest feedback, Ill be honest with you, with
Todd, I liked the idea of giving him a little bit of
time not just for his emotions but how hes feeling.
He took a pretty good whack in the head and he
took another a few weeks after that. We used this
time really well to understand what we need to
address, where we need to go and how well get
there.
McLellan said he could be making changes to
his staff and had a list of potential assistants he
wanted to interview. Wilson said it may be neces-
sary to add a former NHL player to the staff that
had just two assistants last season: Matt Shaw and
Jay Woodcroft.
McLellan said he learned quite a bit watching
the nal three rounds of the playoffs. But he
stressed the team needs to improve its penalty
killing, a more aggressive forecheck, more shot
blocking and a stronger defensive emphasis with-
out overhauling the entire system.
Were aware that were not chasing a formula,
he said. We have our own formula. Thats what
well continue to do. Well enhance it, well grow
it, well pull pieces in from other organizations and
have our formula and our identity. Thats what
well play to.
Wilson said the major change he wanted from
the team was going from one that was passive
and reactive to one that would be aggressive and
proactive next season. He believed that many of
the problems stemmed from an ineffective penal-
ty killing unit that left players hesitant to play
physically or aggressively out of a fear of allowing
a power-play goal.
The Sharks had the second-worst penalty-kill
unit during the regular season and then allowed six
goals in 18 power-play chances in ve games
against the Blues.
Wilson was particularly upset that no player
retaliated at the start of Game 3 following an end-
of-game ght in Game 2 that featured St. Louis
Vladimir Sobotka breaking San Jose forward
Dominic Moores nose and Blues defenseman
Roman Polak pummeling Justin Braun in another
ght.
One of the bigger issues we talked about ini-
tially was the identity of this hockey team,Wilson
said. We got away from it a little bit the passive,
reactive. Thats not part of our identity and how we
want to play it. There are moments it crept in. How
you get that out is going to be addressed by
approach, clarication from players how you han-
dle situations and different players.

GDANSK, Poland Unconvincing as it
was, it was still enough for Spain.
The defending champions advanced to the
quarternals of the European Championship
on Monday, getting an 88th-minute goal from
substitute Jesus Navas in a 1-0 win over
Croatia.
Spain dominated possession as expected but
failed to create many clear opportunities at the
Arena Gdansk. And on the other end, Spain
goalkeeper Iker Casillas needed to make a pair
of clutch saves in the second half to bail out
the world champions.
It was a question of believing in what we
are doing, said Spain midfielder Andres
Iniesta, who flicked a short pass to Navas for
the deciding goal.
Spain, which is trying to win its third
straight major title, will next face the second-
place team in Group D on Saturday in
Donetsk, Ukraine. Italy also advanced from
Group C after beating Ireland 2-0.
We made a great step forward. We quali-
fied. Thats what motivates us for the quar-
terfinal. Our philosophy and style of play are
good and we proved it in todays match, Del
Bosque said. The team played well even
though the match didnt go as we planned.
After wasting a number of late chances,
Spain finally broke open the Croatia defense
when substitute Cesc Fabregas lobbed a
through ball for Iniesta. The Barcelona mid-
fielder then passed to Navas, who put his
shot into the roof of the empty net.
We played to the end and we deserved the
win, said Navas, who scored his second
career goal for Spain.
Croatia coach Slaven Bilic, who is step-
ping down from the team following its elim-
ination, wasnt convinced that Spain can win
the European title again.
I dont see them as big favorites, Bilic
said. There are some other teams that have
more pace and they are more hungry to win
and maybe more aggressive on the pitch than
Spain team.
Navas goal came moments after Iniesta
and Fabregas failed to convert late opportu-
nities, with the European champions often
trying to string together one too many pass-
es.
Italy to quarters
with 2-0 win over Ireland
POZNAN, Poland Italy qualified for the
quarterfinals of the European Championship
after Antonio Cassano and Mario Balotelli
scored in each half of a tense 2-0 victory over
Ireland on Monday.
Cassano headed in with his back to the
goal by the near post following a corner kick
in the 35th minute on a warm and muggy
night at the Municipal Stadium Poznan.
Balotelli came on as a substitute and dou-
bled the lead in the 90th, a minute after
Ireland was reduced to 10 men with Keith
Andrews picking up his second yellow card.
Still, Italy had to wait a few moments after
the final whistle to celebrate after receiving
word that Spain beat Croatia 1-0 in the other
Group C match.
We suffered in the last few minutes
because we were waiting for the result in the
other game, Italy coach Cesare Prandelli
said. We have got through this group which
wasnt easy with Croatia, Spain and even
Ireland who, even though they were out, gave
everything they could. ... Today we realized
that beyond quality, you really need heart.
Italy will meet the Group D winner Sunday
in Kiev with France, England and co-host
Ukraine among the possible opponents.
Spain advances at Euro 2012
Hed score when Bildhauer drew a bases
loaded walk following a Mitch Crosetti single
and a Fuller base on balls. Both would come
in to score Crosetti on a sacrice y and
Fuller on an error.
When the dust settled in the rst, RWC was
up 9-3.
It seems like anyone we plug in there is hit-
ting the ball right now, Uhalde said.
Lyons came back out and allowed another
run in the second, but his team picked up
where they left off in their half of the frame.
Low led off with a single and Ryan Mohr
followed with a knock of his own. Theyd trot
home a couple of pitches later with Pope got
every bit of a ball and drove it over the right-
center eld fence for a three-run, opposite-
eld blast to make it 12-4. Fuller crossed the
plate four batters later on a Lyons single.
Crosetti and Devin Gilmore relieved Lyons
after the third inning and shut down Salinas
the rest of the way.
It was Crosettis base hit in the bottom of
the fth that put the exclamation point on the
afternoons festivities. Eastman scored the
winning run after doubling to led off the fth.
The Celtics are now 7-1 on the summer sea-
son. Their nine-games-in-nine-days stretch
continues against San Jose, Santa Clara, a pair
against Santa Cruz and a Saturday affair ver-
sus Morgan Hill. RWC will then travel to
Reno for a Fourth of July tournament.

San Francisco court last year, with the jury dead-
locked on whether Bonds lied to a grand jury
when he denied knowingly taking performance-
enhancing drugs.
A two-year, multicontinent investigation of
cyclist Lance Armstrong was recently closed
with no charges brought, though the U.S. Anti-
Doping Agency led formal accusations last
week that could strip the seven-time Tour de
France winner of his victories in that storied
race. Armstrong denies any doping.
In a non-drug-related case, the Clemens out-
come also comes on the heels of the Department
of Justices failure to gain a conviction in the
high-prole corruption trial of former presiden-
tial candidate John Edwards
Late Monday, as the jury foreman read the
acquittal on the nal count, Clemens bit his
lower lip and rubbed a tear from his eye.
Clemens, family members and his lawyers
took turns exchanging hugs. At one point,
Clemens and his four sons gathered in the mid-
dle of the courtroom, arms interlocked like foot-
ball players in a huddle, and sobbing could be
heard. Debbie Clemens dabbed her husbands
eyes with a tissue.
Accused of cheating to achieve and extend his
success and then facing felony charges that
he lied about it Clemens declared outside the
courthouse, I put a lot of hard work into that
career.
His chief lawyer, Rusty Hardin, walked up to
a bank of microphones and exclaimed: Wow!
Hardin said Clemens had to hustle to get to
court in time to hear the verdict. All of us had
told Roger there wouldnt be a verdict for two,
three or four days, so he was actually working
out with his sons almost at the Washington
Monument when he got the call that there was a
verdict.
Prosecutors declined to comment as they left
the courthouse. But the U.S. Attorneys Ofce
said in a written statement, The jury has spoken
in this matter, and we thank them for their serv-
ice. We respect the judicial process and the
jurys verdict.
Clemens, 49, was charged with two counts
of perjury, three counts of making false state-
ments and one count of obstructing Congress
when he testied at a deposition and at a
nationally televised hearing in February 2008.
The charges centered on his repeated denials
that he used steroids and human growth hor-
mone during a 24-year career produced 354
victories.
The verdict was the latest blow to the gov-
ernments legal pursuit of athletes accused of
illicit drug use.
A seven-year investigation into home run
king Barry Bonds yielded a guilty verdict on
only one count of obstruction of justice in a
San Francisco court last year, with the jury
deadlocked on whether Bonds lied to a grand
jury when he denied knowingly taking per-
formance-enhancing drugs.
A two-year, multicontinent investigation
that looked into possible drug use by cyclist
Lance Armstrong was recently closed with no
charges brought, though the U.S. Anti-Doping
Agency led formal accusations last week that
could strip the seven-time Tour de France win-
ner of his victories in that storied race.
Armstrong denies any doping
The Clemens outcome also comes on the
heels of the Department of Justices failure to
gain a conviction in the high-prole corruption
trial of former presidential candidate John
Edwards.
In addition, the rst attempt to try Clemens
last year ended in a mistrial when prosecutors
played a snippet of video evidence that had
previously been ruled inadmissible.
CLEMENS
being recognized as a two-time Conference
All-Star.
Romo was tabbed with a First Team Tri-
County Athlete League selection as well as a
Second Team All-Area honorable mention
while attending Merrill West High School in
Tracy.
According to the Oaks, Moreno, Coleman
and Yeldell show equal promise, with
Coleman displaying versatility to play on the
defensive side of the ball as well. In addition
to being named a two-time Second Team All-
League Offensive Lineman in high school,
Coleman was a First Team All-League and
First Team All-Area Defensive Lineman.
As a member of the NAIA, the Menlo
College recruiting process is quite extensive,
Speckman said.
Theres definitely a strategy to it,
Speckman said. The talent level is there, but
perhaps [the players we look at] are a little
undersized. You do have to talk to a lot of peo-
ple, look at a lot of lm and it does take more
time. Its also about making sure the guy is the
right t for your program. We have to be real-
ly smart with our scholarships and the busi-
ness end of it.
The offensive line was concern one, but
Speckman and Menlo sought some speed as
well in this wave of recruits.
Nobody has ever complained about having
too much speed in football, Speckman said.
But more than that, I think we picked up a
good blend of speed and size explosive
players. Its a good combination of guys.
For that, the list of recruits starts with Jones,
who racked up some nice numbers while
playing running back for a traditionally strong
Bishop ODowd program in Oakland.
Jones rushed for more than 1,000 yards,
scored 20 rushing touchdowns and three kick-
off return TDs. His numbers earned him a
First Team All-League running back nod.
Speaking of numbers, Harris excelled on
both sides of the ball, rushing for more than
2,500 career yards as a running back and
recording more than 270 career tackles as a
linebacker for Timberline High School in
Boise, Idaho.
I think the competition is going to make
everyone better, Speckman said. Well have
some of the new guys pushing the returners. It
will be a healthy competition. Plus, theyre
good character guys and will make good addi-
tions to the community.
Rounding out the rst wave of recruits are
Slater and Pike.
Slater rushed for 1,195 yards and 18 touch-
downs for Christopher High School in Gilroy.
Pike hails from Hidden Valley Lake and
holds the Middletown High School single-
season record for most yards gained, most
rushing touchdowns, most overall touch-
downs and most points scored.
I think all good football teams need to
have speed, Speckman said. I feel good
about where we are. Were still working on
some things and thats how were going to get
better. We have better size, speed and versatil-
ity.
Speckman said overall the Oaks will wel-
come 30 to 35 players to their roster.
Honestly, I think its something that well
be better at next year, Speckman said of the
recruiting process. But, for the cards we
were dealt, I think we did a good job. Im real-
ly proud of our staff.

WASHINGTON Millions of
Americans are desperate for work,
runaway government spending
clouds the future and Democratic and
Republican candidates are busy mak-
ing one thing clear: Theyre light
years apart on what to do about it.
They do agree that in this election,
the economy is everything. President
Barack Obama calls it the dening
issue of our time. But for voters
wishing Washington would come
together in a time of crisis, Obama,
his Republican rival Mitt Romney
and their congressional allies dont
offer much hope
Instead, theyve taken to describing
the gulf on economic policy in galac-
tic terms. Romney must be on a dif-
ferent planet, an Obama adviser
declares. The president is living in
an alternative universe, the
Republican Party chief says.
On planet Republican: The econo-
my is backsliding, and the president
is to blame. His
stimulus spend-
ing did more
harm than good,
and his big-gov-
ernment rules are
strangling busi-
nesses. The
answer is repeal-
ing health care,
energy and
nancial regulations and cutting
taxes. That should spark investment
and create jobs. Tackling the decit
requires huge spending cuts, just not
at the Pentagon. The unsustainable
guarantee of Medicare and Medicaid
must change.
In the Democratic universe: The
economys slowly improving, thanks
to government spending that helped
fend off a depression. Another dose
of targeted spending will help.
Republican policies in the Bush
administration cutting taxes and
eliminating rules brought on the
nancial crisis and budget decits.
The rich should help dig us out by
paying higher taxes. The Pentagons
budget must be cut, but entitlement
spending can be controlled without
drastically altering the social safety
net.
These two positions are almost
diametrically opposed to each other,
said Sung Won Sohn, a California
State University economics profes-
sor. And theres no common ground
it seems.
They cant both be right.
How do voters decide which eco-
nomic world theyre living in?
You could try asking an economist.
Republicans and Democrats alike
offer up prominent names many
still arguing the supply-siders versus
Keynesian debates that heated up
during the Reagan administration.
Did President George W. Bushs tax
cuts boost the economy or just pile up
more debt? Was Obamas $831 bil-
lion stimulus worthwhile or wasted
money?
Our economy is too complex, too
complicated. No one knows for sure
what the right answer is, Sohn said.
Economists are the rst ones to
admit weve been wrong many, many
times.
This time, the
stakes are high.
Recovery from
the nancial
meltdown and
2007-2009 reces-
sion has been
slow. Not even
half of the 8.8
million jobs that
were lost have come back. States and
cities are still laying off workers.
Unemployment hovers at 8.2 percent.
Even for those with jobs, wages and
net worth havent recovered.
Europes troubles pose new threats.
More problems are ahead: Annual
decits of more than a trillion dollars
per year have piled up $15.7 trillion
in national debt. The crush of baby
boomer retirees over the next two
decades threatens to ruin the nations
nances, unless politicians slow
spending on Medicare and Social
Security.
Anxiety about the mushrooming
national debt, exacerbated by bank
bailouts and stimulus spending,
fueled the tea party movement that
helped Republicans win control of
the House in 2010. That set off a
series of showdowns with Obama
over taxes, spending and the federal
debt ceiling.
The ongoing brinkmanship has
unsettled Wall Street investors, busi-
ness owners timid about hiring and
plenty of voters, too. Three-quarters
of Americans say the federal govern-
ment is too divided along party lines.
Only 20 percent think it can usually
work together to get things done,
according to a Pew Research Center
poll conducted in April.
A glimmer of Washington coopera-
tion would make a big difference for
the economy right now, said Mark
Zandi, chief economist at Moodys
Analytics.
If they could signal that they
would be willing to work together to
do something substantive and help-
ful, he said, it could ease the collec-
tive psyche and help soothe nerves.
So far, no ones signaling a con-
gressional kumbaya to come after the
November elections.
Parties worlds apart on how to fix economy

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. As the recession took its
toll many states diverted scarce money away from
pension plans to pay for more immediate con-
cerns, and the amount of new costs states will owe
the public retirement funds in the decades ahead
ballooned to $757 billion, according to a study
released Monday.
The Pew Center on the States found 34 states
failed to maintain safe levels of money in the pen-
sion funds, which most experts agree is about 80
percent of long-term obligations. Four states
Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky and Rhode Island
didnt even have 55 percent of the money
theyll need in the long run.
The total gap between the money states had
available and what theyll have to pay out in the
decades ahead reached $757 billion in 2010, the
most recent year for which gures are available.
That was up 9 percent from the year before,
according to the study entitled The Widening
Gap Update.
The Pew Center found most states were trying
to address the funding gap, either through cutting
benets for future employees or requiring workers
to pay more of their own money into their retire-
ment funds. Some went after benets for current
employees, triggering court battles. States also
adopted more conservative estimates for what
theyll earn on investments down the road.
Pensions arent the only retirement problem.
States also faced a $627 billion shortfall in health
care services for retirees. Essentially, for every $1
theyll eventually have to pay out in health care,
states had set aside only 5 cents.
Nationwide, some 22.5 million public workers
fall under a state pension plan. When states fall
behind in their retirement contributions, theyll
have to come up with even more money later to
make up the difference. In addition, pension and
retiree health costs are growing, driving up state
expenses even more. That leaves states less and
less each year to spend on education, public safe-
ty and other government services.
State pension cuts
ballooned in 2010
SAN ANTONIO Henry Cisneros, who
served as housing secretary under President Bill
Clinton, says he has been diagnosed with early-
stage prostate cancer but expects to beat the dis-
ease with nine weeks of radiation therapy.
Cisneros told the San Antonio Express-News
that his diagnosis in January hasnt bothered him
and defended his decision to seek treatment, even
though some doctors recommend that prostate
cancers caught at such an early stage might not
warrant therapy.
The former San Antonio mayor began his treat-
ment in May. Cisneros, 65, said he went public
with his diagnosis to encourage more men par-
ticularly blacks and Hispanics to receive
prostate screenings.
Cisneros served as the Housing and Urban
Development secretary under President Bill
Clinton for four years in the 1990s. Before that he
spent eight years as a popular mayor who garnered
national attention as one of the rst Hispanic lead-
ers of a major U.S. city at a
time when the countrys
Hispanic population was on
the rise.
He admitted in 1999 that
while he was being consid-
ered for a Cabinet job, he lied
to the FBI about how much
he paid a former mistress and
pleaded guilty to a misde-
meanor. Clinton pardoned
him before leaving ofce.
Cisneros is now executive chairman of
CityView, a Los Angeles-based investment com-
pany focused on urban development. He continues
to work and live in San Antonio.
Cisneros told the newspaper his treatment has
resulted in no major side effects so far. Some
experts recommend against treating low-stage
prostate cancers because, in some cases, side
effects can be more likely to cause problems than
the disease itself. Instead, those experts recom-
mend that the cancer simply be monitored.

WASHINGTON Covering all
the bases ahead of a momentous
Supreme Court ruling, the Obama
administration plans to move ahead
with major parts of the presidents
health care law if its most contro-
versial provision does not survive,
according to veteran Democrats
closely involved with the legisla-
tion.
Even if the requirement that near-
ly every U.S. resident have health
insurance is declared unconstitu-
tional, the remaining parts of the
law would have far-reaching impact,
putting coverage within reach of
millions of uninsured people, laying
new obligations on insurers and
employers, and improving Medicare
benets even as
payments to
many service
providers get
scaled back.
The White
House says
President Barack
Obama is con-
dent the whole
law will be
upheld when the court issues its rul-
ing in the next week or two, but of-
cials will be ready for any outcome.
We do believe its constitutional,
and we ... hope and expect thats the
decision the court will render, sen-
ior adviser David Plouffe said
Sunday on ABC. We obviously
will be prepared for whatever deci-
sion the court renders.
Administration officials have not
wanted to discuss contingency plans
to avoid creating the impression that
the president is preparing for a high
court rebuke.
Nevertheless, the Obama admin-
istration will move ahead to imple-
ment major elements of the law if
the individual coverage requirement
is struck down, two senior
Democrats told The Associated
Press. One is a leading Democrat
familiar with the administrations
thinking, the other a high-level
Capitol Hill staffer. The two
Democrats spoke on condition of
anonymity to avoid appearing to be
out of step with the administrations
public stance.
Because the laws main coverage
expansion does not begin until
2014, there would be time to try to
x serious problems that losing the
individual coverage requirement
may cause for the health insurance
industry.
Surviving parts of the law would
absolutely move ahead, said the
congressional ofcial. A Congress
mired in partisan trench warfare
would be unable to repeal or amend
whats left of the law, allowing the
administration to advance. Much of
the money for covering the unin-
sured was already provided in the
law itself.
Legislatively we cant do a thing,
and we are going to move full speed
ahead (with implementation), the
ofcial said.
How the Supreme Court will
decide is unclear. It may uphold the
law, strike it down entirely or do
something in between. Skeptical
questioning by the courts conserva-
tive justices during oral arguments
this spring has fueled speculation
that the court may invalidate the so-
called individual mandate.
Opponents say the requirement
that individuals have coverage is
unconstitutional, that the federal
government cant tell people to
obtain particular goods or services.
Supporters say the mandate is a
necessary component of a broader
scheme to regulate health insurance,
which is well within the powers of
Congress. By requiring people to
carry health insurance or pay a ne,
the law seeks to broaden the pool of
people with coverage, helping to
keep premiums affordable.
If the mandate is struck down,
that would still leave in place a
Obama administration mulls pared health law

WASHINGTON Health care
spending has eased up recently, a wel-
come respite for government and cor-
porate budgets. But why has it? And
will relief last or are medical costs on a
roller coaster, like gas prices?
One explanation for the slowdown
says its a temporary consequence of
the recession and an economy that
cant seem to hit its stride. A more
hopeful view says American medicine
is moving from disjointed solo practice
to teamwork models aimed at keeping
patients healthier, and thats a perma-
nent change.
Its not a stretch to say the future of
U.S. health care depends on the
answer. If the system can reform itself
from within to reduce waste and deliv-
er better results, it will help stave off
sharp cuts to hospitals and doctors, as
well as more cost shifts to their
patients, working families with
employer coverage and older people in
Medicare.
Two doctors one in Washington
state, the other in Montana come to
different conclusions about what
theyre seeing.
Dr. Glen Stream of Spokane, Wash.,
says he sees the reason for the slow-
down through patients in his examina-
tion room. A 55-year-old tech worker
with diabetes, self-employed and unin-
sured after being laid off, is unable to
afford brand-name medications. A 50-
year-old woman at risk of liver cancer
is refusing regular MRI scans for early
detection. Although she has fairly good
insurance, the copayments are too high.
Far and away it is related to eco-
nomic issues, Stream said. I see peo-
ple who have medical conditions who I
should be seeing every three months.
They tell me they can only afford to
come in every six months or once a
year.
Dr. Doug Carr of Billings, Mont.,
doesnt dispute the impact of the econ-
omy, but says long-lasting improve-
ments are coming together beneath the
surface and will emerge.
Carr is medical director for educa-
tion at the Billings Clinic, in the fore-
front of developing something called a
patient-centered medical home. Its
basically general-medicine doctors,
physician assistants and nurses who
closely follow patients with chronic ill-
nesses to try to keep them from devel-
oping complications that require hospi-
tal treatment. More than 30 states are
experimenting with the model, as are
Medicare and major insurers and
employers.
We are seeing in early pilots up to a
10 percent reduction in premiums,
said Carr. The savings stem mainly
from fewer trips to the emergency
room and less hospitalization, but also
from better coordination that avoids
duplicative and pricey imaging tests.
You can pay for an awful lot of doc-
tor visits by avoiding a single MRI,
Carr pointed out. Medical homes
embrace computers for tracking blood
pressures, blood sugar levels and other
vital indicators of how their patients are
doing.
So far, the ofcials keeping score of
the nations health care costs are skep-
tical.
Its too early to say that something
signicant and dramatic and perma-
nent has occurred, said Stephen
Hefer, director of national health sta-
tistics for Medicares Ofce of the
Actuary, responsible for economic esti-
mates.
The countrys health care tab grew
more slowly in 2009 and 2010 than at
any other time in the more than 50
years the government has tracked it
closely. Estimates suggest the 2011
increase stayed under 4 percent, in line
with overall economic growth. That
dry statistic has huge implications
because health care costs had been
growing about 2 percentage points
faster than the economy, a pace that
breaks the bank. Unfortunately,
Hefers number-crunching unit sees
an eventual return to the earlier trend as
the economy fully recovers.
But one of Washingtons prominent
economists says hes convinced some-
thing different is happening.
A welcome let-up in health costs that may not last
UK:No health risk
from faulty breast implant
LONDON A top British medical
expert says faulty French-made breast
implants do not pose any long-term
health problems to women even if they
rupture.
The implants made by the now-
defunct French company Poly Implant
Prothese were pulled from the market
last year in several countries amid fears
they could rupture and leak silicone
into the body.
Around 47,000 British women are
believed to have been given the PIP
implants, which were lled with indus-
trial, rather than medical-grade, silicon.
The government asked Bruce Keogh,
medical director of Britains National
Health Service, to launch an investiga-
tion last December to assess what
threat, if any, the implants posed to the
womans health.
Women MDs paid less:
reluctant to push for raises?
CHICAGO Women physician-
scientists are paid much less than their
male counterparts, researchers found,
with a salary difference that over the
course of a career could pay for a col-
lege education, a spacious house, or a
retirement nest egg.
To get the fairest comparison, the
study authors took into account work
hours, academic titles, medical spe-
cialties, age and other factors that
inuence salaries. They included only
doctors who were involved in
research at U.S. medical schools and
teaching hospitals, all at the same
stage in their careers. And they still
found men's average yearly salaries
were at least $12,000 higher than
womens. Over a 30-year career, that
adds up to more than $350,000.
Why the big disparity? Two women
who have been prominent in medical
research say this: Men tend to be
more aggressive at self-promoting
and asking for pay raises than women.

CHICAGO The most common type of obesity surgery
may increase patients chances for alcohol abuse, according to
the largest study to demonstrate a potential link.
Patients who had gastric bypass surgery faced double the
risk for excessive drinking, compared with those who had a
less drastic weight-loss operation.
Gastric bypass surgery shrinks the stomachs size and
attaches it to a lower portion of the intestine. That limits food
intake and the bodys ability to absorb calories. Researchers
believe it also changes how the body digests and metabolizes
alcohol; some people whove had the surgery say they feel
alcohols effects much more quickly, after drinking less, than
before the operation. The study suggests that may lead to prob-
lem drinking.
The researchers asked nearly 2,000 women and men who
had various kinds of obesity surgery at 10 centers nationwide
about their drinking habits one year before their operations,
versus one and two years afterward. Most didnt drink exces-
sively before or after surgery, and increases in drinking didnt
occur until two years post-surgery.
More than two-thirds had gastric bypass surgery and were
most at risk. Two years after the surgery, almost 11 percent, or
103 of 996 bypass patients, had drinking problems, a 50 per-
cent increase from before surgery.
By contrast, about 5 percent of patients who had stomach-
banding obesity surgery drank excessively two years later,
similar to the pre-surgery numbers. Too few patients had other
types of weight-loss surgery to make strong comparisons.
The study was released online Monday in the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
About 8 percent of U.S. adults abuse alcohol by drinking
excessively. The study authors say their results suggest that an
additional 2,000 people each year will develop drinking prob-
lems because of obesity surgery.
More than 200,000 stomach-reducing surgeries are per-
formed each year. Gastric bypass, also called stomach-sta-
pling, is the most common and generally results in more
weight loss than other methods. The benets of gastric bypass
surgery include sometimes reducing diabetes and heart disease
risks.
Patients should be screened for alcohol problems before and
after surgery and told about the risks, said lead author Wendy
King, an assistant professor at the University of Pittsburghs
graduate school of public health.
Dr. Robin Blackstone, president of the American Society for
Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, said the results echo ndings
in smaller studies and clearly show an alcohol-related risk
from gastric bypass surgery.
We in the medical community are going to take that seri-
ously, said Blackstone, an obesity surgeon in Scottsdale, Ariz.
The ndings are being presented at the medical groups meet-
ing in San Diego this week.
She noted that obese people are often socially isolated
because of their weight, and that drinking often increases
when patients have slimmed down and pursue a more active
social life. Blackstone said she and many other doctors rou-
tinely warn patients that they may be more sensitive to alcohol,
and that the study reinforces that advice.
Patients seeking obesity surgery often undergo psychologi-
cal evaluations to make sure they are stable enough to handle
the operation and life changes afterward. Guidelines recom-
mend against the surgery for people with substance abuse
problems including excessive drinking, said psychologist
Leslie Heinberg, director of behavioral services for Cleveland
Clinics bariatric and metabolic institute.
Study results were based on patients responses on question-
naires about alcohol use.
Problems included frequently having at least three drinks or
at least six drinks on one occasion; needing to drink in the
morning; and forgetting events because of alcohol use.
Two years after surgery, these problems were more common
in gastric bypass patients, and in men, young adults and smok-
ers after either type of surgery.
Stomach banding involves surgically putting an adjustable
band around the stomach to decrease the amount of food it can
hold. It is reversible but less common than gastric bypass in the
United States.

Samsonite pulls bags amid safety scare
HONG KONG Samsonite International SA says it has
pulled a line of luggage from Hong Kong stores after a local
consumer group reported nding high levels of a chemical
linked to cancer in the handles.
The suitcase company said Monday that it commissioned
independent tests that showed its bags were safe to use. But it
was taking the bags off the shelves to allay customer fears fol-
lowing the report by the Hong Kong Consumer Council.
The council said last week it found that the side handles on
three Samsonite suitcases had levels of polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons that were higher than recommended.
Levels were particularly high in a suitcase sold under the
Tokyo Chic line. Samsonite said it has withdrawn all luggage
from that line from Hong Kong shelves.

HEALTH/WORLD 19
major expansion of Medicaid, the
federal-state safety net program for
low-income people.
The Medicaid expansion was
originally estimated to account for
about half the more than 30 million
people slated to get coverage under
the law. Without a mandate, the
number would be smaller but still
signicant.
Federal tax credits to help middle-
class people buy private health cov-
erage would also survive, as would
new state-based insurance markets.
Such subsidies have never previ-
ously been available, and millions
are expected to take advantage of
them, whether or not insurance is
required by law. Still, it could be
tricky to salvage the laws full blue-
print for helping middle-class unin-
sured people.
Overturning the mandate would
have harmful consequences for the
private insurance market. Under the
law, insurers would still have to
accept all applicants regardless of
health problems, and they would be
limited in what they can charge
older, sicker customers.
As a result, premiums for people
who directly buy their own coverage
would jump by 15 percent to 20 per-
cent, the Congressional Budget
Ofce estimates. Older, sicker peo-
ple would ock to get health insur-
ance but younger, healthier ones
would hold back.
To forestall such a problem, the
administration asked the court if
it declares the mandate unconstitu-
tional to also strike down certain
consumer protections, including the
requirement on insurers to cover
people with pre-existing health
problems. That would mitigate a
damaging spike in premiums.
Whether or not the court goes
along with that request, more work
would be needed to nd alternatives
to a federal mandate.

CAIRO Islamist candidate
Mohammed Morsi claimed a hol-
low victory Monday in Egypts
presidential vote just hours after the
countrys military rulers stripped
the ofce of its most important pow-
ers.
The power grab by the ruling gen-
erals delivered another major blow
to hopes for a democratic transition
born out of last years uprising that
ousted authoritarian leader Hosni
Mubarak.
The generals, who deny having
effectively staged a coup and ren-
dering the elected president a mere
gurehead, will maintain authority
over the crafting of laws and the
drafting of a new constitution.
Civilian oversight of their budget
and other affairs will be strictly off-
limits.
If Morsis victory is conrmed in
the official result expected on
Thursday, it would be the rst victo-
ry of an Islamist as head of state in
the stunning wave of pro-democra-
cy uprisings that swept the Middle
East the past year. But the militarys
moves to retain power sharpen the
possibility of confrontation and
more of the turmoil that has beset
Egypt since Mubaraks overthrow.
The military may partially exit
from power after a new round of
tough negotiations with the Islamist
and the secular opposition on safe-
guarding its interests, said
Azzedine Layachi, a Middle East
expert from St. Johns University in
New York. However, and no matter
what, the military will continue to
play a dominant role in Egyptian
politics. The question for now is
whether they will continue to do so
directly for the coming years or
indirectly behind the fagade of a
civilian rule.
In Washington, Pentagon press
secretary George Little said the U.S.
was troubled by the timing of the
military leaders announcement and
would urge them to relinquish
power to civilian-elected authorities
and to respect the universal rights of
the Egyptian people and the rule of
law.
This is a critical moment in
Egypt, and the world is watching
closely, State Department spokes-
woman Victoria Nuland told
reporters. We are particularly con-
cerned by decisions that appear to
prolong the militarys hold on
power.

LOS CABOS, Mexico
European leaders at the G-20 summit
struggled to reassure the world
Monday that they were on the path to
solving their continents relentless
economic crisis, defending the pace of
their response even as market pres-
sures pushed Spain closer to needing a
bailout that would strain the worlds
ability to pay.
Less than 24 hours after an election
that eased fears of a Greek exit from
the shared euro currency, the interest
rate that Spain pays on its debt surged
above the 7-percent level that had
forced Greece, Portugal and Ireland to
seek international help.
The prospect of a bailout for Spains
(euro) 1.1 trillion ($1.39 trillion) econ-
omy immediately eclipsed the good
feeling at the G-20 from the election,
and it dwarfed the host country
Mexicos expressions of condence
that the meeting of the worlds largest
economies would lead to more than
$430 billion in concrete commitment
for the International Monetary Fund
as insurance against future bailouts.
The Spanish delegation to the G-20
bemoaned the rise in the countrys
borrowing costs and said the market
reaction didnt correspond to the real-
ity of Spains economic strength.
We in the government are con-
vinced that the current situation of
punishment in the markets, what
were suffering from today, doesnt
correspond with the efforts, or the
potential, of the Spanish economy,
Spains economy minister Luis de
Guindos said. This is something that
will have to be recognized in the com-
ing days and weeks.
The day was lled with statements
from a variety of world leaders calling
for cooperation and for Europe to
solve its crisis at a summit that is
expected to produce few concrete
results.
Now is the time as weve dis-
cussed to make sure all of us join to do
whats necessary to stabilize the world
nancial system, to avoid protection-
ism, to both grow the economy and
create jobs while taking a responsible
approach, U.S President Barack
Obama said after meeting with the
host, Mexican President Felipe
Calderon.
European Commission President
Jose Manuel Barroso and European
Council President Herman Van
Rompuy urged markets to focus on a
European summit at the end of the
month that they said would help the
continent move closer to deeper eco-
nomic and political integration to
match its single currency. The lack of
common rules for the countries shar-
ing the euro currency is seen as the
primary cause of the current crisis.
The EU summit would bring progress
on common banking rules for member
nations, Barroso and Van Rompuy
said, although they cautioned, in
sometimes defensive tones, against
expectations of short-term results.
I can assure you that even if we in
June will not take denitive decisions,
the path, the trajectory is very clear for
everybody, Van Rompuy said. In
this case, the pace is less important
than the decision we make.
Barroso took a more aggressive
tone, declaring that the crisis origi-
nated in North America with the col-
lapse of real-estate-linked nancial
products and taking a subtle dig at
China and other non-democratic
countries at the summit.

paid up front, police said.
The male suspect said he would share
the winnings if the women helped him pay
the up-front fee.
The suspects drove the victim to her
home, where she gathered jewelry and an
undisclosed amount of cash, police said.
They then drove her to a bank in San
Bruno, where she attempted to withdraw
more cash.
When she came out of the bank, the sus-

program. Yesterday, Andy Chase, a
nancial adviser with Morgan Stanley
Smith Barney was a guest speaker at the
university. The school has about six
instructors with Draper also teaching
some of the classes.
So far, everything is working well,
said Frank Creer, a managing director at
Zone Ventures who is helping get the
university off the ground.
The students are eager to learn, Creer
said, and lots of effort has been put into
the curriculum.
I dont think they knew what they
were getting into, Creer said about the
students.
The school offers group discussions,
creative projects and guest speakers.
The students even participate in day-
long murder mysteries, cooking classes
and watch movies at night, picked by
Draper, often with a business twist to
them, Creer said.
The pool, behind the old hotel, was
meant to be lled but that plan may
change, Creer said.
We are having fun with it, he said.
Musich has watched the students
come and go from the university and
visited it herself recently.
Once you walk into the door, you
can feel the energy, she said. Musich
thinks Draper will be a good t for
downtown San Mateo.
Hes got money, energy and vision,
she said.
Creer calls Draper an eternal optimist.
Nothing gets Tim down, nothing,
Creer said. Hes a patient guy with a
big vision.
Closing the doors on Collective
Antiques, however, will be a sad day for
Steve and Merry-Lee Musich, who have
run the antique shop since 2002.
About 40 to 60 dealers rent space and
sell their antiques on site. All the stores
inventory should be gone by the end of
September, Musich said.
Its out with old and in with the new.
We want to exit on a positive note,
Musich said.
Draper and his wife, a San Mateo
native, bought the historic hotel in an
auction last year and toyed with many
ideas for the building before deciding a
university for the worlds top business-
minded youth would be the best t for
the Benjamin Franklin. He paid just
under $6 million for the building.
He is the founder of the venture capi-
tal rm Draper Fisher Jurvetson and
funded Hotmail, Skype and Baidu in
their infancies.

DRAPER
contract with Godbe Research to poll
the community about a possible bond
measure to be placed on the November
ballot.
The district has been looking for
space for a fourth elementary school in
Foster City for nearly four years now
and the relationship between the district
and council has often been character-
ized as contentious as city ofcials
have repeatedly turned down proposals
to build a school on the 15-acre city-
owned site adjacent to City Hall or in
any of the citys several parks.
In March, the board meeting had a
packed house with those opposing a
new school at the shopping center at
1050-1064 Shell Blvd. in Foster City
known as Charter Square. The six-acre
site was previously identied by the dis-
trict to be evaluated as a possible site for
a fourth elementary school in the city.
As a result, the joint city-district effort
of SCORE was put together in hopes of
nding a suitable option.
SCORE, which has a meeting tonight,
will have met three times by the boards
Thursday meeting. To help the process,
Geoff Ball of Ball and Associates is
facilitating the meetings and the rms of
LPA/Cumming were retained as land
use experts, according to a staff report
by Superintendent Cynthia Simms.
Paying for a new school has been put
on hold twice over the last school year.
Purchasing land is to be covered using
funds from Measure L a 2008 $175
million bond measure. Measure Ls
bond language allows for helping with
overcrowding issues. Construction costs
will most likely be covered with a new,
separate bond measure.
At rst, it appeared the district would
have a $25 million bond measure on the
November 2011 ballot for that purpose.
As proposed, the bond would have been
paid for by Foster City residents only.
The board pulled the measure in August,
citing a desire to conduct environmental
and nancial studies on a possible site
before asking for funds to build the
school.
The board then came back with the
$130 million bond measure it was con-
sidering putting on the June ballot. A
larger bond was considered since the
district as a whole has unmet needs from
the $330 million outlined in the 2007-08
facilities master plan. The board opted
against putting the measure on the ballot
given the public concerns expressed at
the March meeting.
The deadline to place a measure on
the November ballot is Aug. 10, accord-
ing to the County Elections Ofce.
The board meets 7 p.m. Thursday, June
21 at the District Ofce, 1170 Chess
Drive, Foster City. SCORE meets from
6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesdays at the district
ofce. Meetings are open to the public.

So, he spent his rst year after treat-
ment volunteering as a mentor with
Project 90.
It was probably the best decision he
ever made.
Hes been clean and sober for ve
years now and has worked at Project 90
for four years.
His relationship with his parents has
been reborn and he no longer looks
out for just himself.
For a long time, it was about saving
my ass from the re but now Im into
helping others, he said. I cant even
compare myself today to who I once
was. Its like Im living a different life.
Harvins job keeps him in the ofce
most of the day, away from the clients.
When his work day is done, however,
he often goes to one of Project 90s
facilities for family nights, group meet-
ings and to offer those new to the pro-
gram the support they need.
We often tell people new to the pro-
gram not to make any decisions for the
rst seven days. It helps when they see
and hear from people who went through
the program and found success, Harvin
said.
Those new to the program often have
plenty of excuses as to why they dont
belong there, he said.
Project 90 has a large alumni associa-
tion, Stansberry said.
Many of the clients battling addiction
also have mental health issues, a lack of
housing, poor life skills and no job,
Stansberry said.
The goal is to get our clients func-
tional in an efficient manner,
Stansberry said.
Project 90s name is based on a 12-
step tradition of 90 meetings in 90 days.
Significant improvement in recovery
happens at three months, Stansberry
said.
The agencys philosophy is one
addict helping another.
It is great for a guy just coming in to
see someone who has found success,
Stansberry said.
As part of its 40th anniversary cele-
bration, Project 90 will hold a staff
appreciation luncheon Wednesday, June
20 at the Friendship Hall on Second
Avenue in San Mateo, a site where
many 12-step meetings are conducted.

PROJECT 90
The number of UC retirees collecting
six-gure pensions has increased by 30
percent over the past two years, accord-
ing Californians for Fiscal
Responsibility, an advocacy group that
has analyzed UC pension data.
Topping the list is Marcus Marvin, a
retired professor of dentistry and public
health at UCLA, who receives an annual
pension of $337,000.
If UC President Mark Yudof, 67,
serves for a total of seven years, he would
receive an annual pension of $350,000
in addition to regular benets he
accrues through the UC Retirement Plan,
according to UC documents.
The university caps employee pensions
at the IRS limit of $250,000, but that ceil-
ing does not apply to the supplemental
retirement benets promised to Yudof.
In the coming year, the university is
expected to contribute about $240 mil-
lion to its retirement fund from a roughly
$6 billion core operating budget. That
amount is expected to more than double
to about $500 million annually by 2015-
2016, according to UC ofcials.
The university also faces skyrocketing
costs for its retiree health care benets.
The unfunded liability for its retiree
health program was $14.6 billion in July
2011. UC is expected to spend $270 mil-
lion on retiree health care this year, and
that amount is expected to rise signi-
cantly over the next several years,
according to UC documents.
While UC seeks to pay its retirement
bills, the system is wrestling with the loss
of $750 million in state funding this past
year. And it could lose another $250 mil-
lion in the coming academic year if vot-
ers reject Gov. Jerry Browns tax initia-
tive in November.
This is a very signicant challenge to
the UC system, said UC Executive Vice
Chancellor Nathan Brostrom.
